OVERVIEW
Earnings SummaryU.S. Bancorp (the Company) reported net income of $823.1 million for the second quarter of 2002, or $.43 per diluted share, compared with $562.3 million, or $.29 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2001. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.95 percent and 20.0 percent, respectively, for the second quarter of 2002, compared with 1.37 percent and 14.4 percent, respectively, for the second quarter of 2001. Net income includes after-tax merger and restructuring-related items of $46.7 million ($71.6 million on a pre-tax basis) for the second quarter of 2002, compared with $256.3 million ($391.9 million on a pre-tax basis) for the second quarter of 2001. For the second quarter of 2002, total merger and restructuring-related items on a pre-tax basis included $60.5 million of net expenses associated with the merger of Firstar Corporation (Firstar) and the former U.S. Bancorp (USBM) and $11.1 million associated with the acquisition of NOVA Corporation (NOVA) and other smaller acquisitions. For the second quarter of 2001, merger and restructuring-related items on a pre-tax basis included $62.2 million in gains on the sale of branches offset by $233.2 million of noninterest expenses and $201.3 million of provision for credit losses associated with the merger of Firstar and USBM. The second quarter of 2001 merger and restructuring-related items also included $5.4 million of restructuring charges for U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray and $14.2 million of noninterest expense for other acquisitions including the merger with Mercantile Bancorporation, Scripps Financial Corporation and the purchase of 41 branches in Tennessee from First Union National Bank.
Acquisition and Divestiture ActivityU.S. Bancorp and its subsidiaries compose the organization created by the acquisition by Firstar of USBM. The merger was completed on February 27, 2001, and was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. Accordingly, all financial information has been restated to include the historical information of both companies. Each share of Firstar stock was exchanged for one share of the Companys common stock while each share of USBM stock was exchanged for 1.265 shares of the Companys common stock. The Company retained the U.S. Bancorp name.
STATEMENT OF INCOME ANALYSIS
Net Interest IncomeThe second quarter of 2002 net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, of $1,689.8 million, compared with $1,574.8 million for the second quarter of 2001, represented a $115.0 million (7.3 percent) increase from a year ago. Year-to-date net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis was $3,360.2 million, compared with $3,139.1 million for the first six months of 2001. The second quarter and year-to-date average earning assets increased $2.4 billion (1.6 percent) and $2.2 billion (1.5 percent), respectively, over the comparable periods of 2001. The growth in net interest income for the second quarter was primarily driven by increases in the investment portfolio, core retail loan growth and the impact of acquisitions, partially offset by a $1.0 billion reduction related to transfers of high credit quality, low margin commercial loans to Stellar Funding Group, Inc. (the loan conduit), a decline in residential mortgages and the securitization of a discontinued unsecured small business product in 2001. The net interest margin for the second quarter of 2002 was 4.59 percent, compared with 4.34 percent for the second quarter of 2001, while the year-to-date net interest margin increased from 4.36 percent in 2001 to 4.60 percent in 2002. The improvement in the net interest margin reflected the funding benefit of the declining rate environment, a more favorable funding mix and improving spreads due to product repricing dynamics and loan conduit transfers, partially offset by lower yields on the investment portfolio.
Provision for Credit LossesThe provision for credit losses was $335.0 million for the second quarter of 2002, compared with $441.3 million for the second quarter of 2001. The provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2001 included $201.3 million of merger and restructuring-related items primarily related to discontinuing an unsecured small business product. The provision for credit losses, excluding merger and restructuring-related items, for the second quarter of 2002 increased by $95.0 million (39.6 percent), from the second quarter of 2001, primarily reflecting higher net charge-offs given the sluggish economic conditions. The provision for credit losses in the first six months of 2002 was $670.0 million, a decrease of $303.7 million from $973.7 million in the same period of 2001. Included in the provision for credit losses during the first six months of 2001 were merger and restructuring-related provisions totaling $367.9 million consisting of: a $90.0 million charge to align risk management practices and charge-off policies and to expedite the transition out of a specific segment of the healthcare industry not meeting the risk profile of the Company; a $76.6 million provision for losses related to the sales of a high LTV home equity portfolio and an indirect automobile loan portfolio; and the $201.3 million provision associated with the discontinued unsecured small business product. Excluding the merger and restructuring-related provision, the provision for credit losses for the first half of 2002 increased by $64.2 million over the first half of 2001. Refer to the Corporate Risk Profile section for further information on provision for credit losses, net charge-offs, nonperforming assets and other factors considered by the Company in assessing the credit quality of the loan portfolio and establishing the allowance for credit losses.
Noninterest IncomeNoninterest income during the second quarter of 2002 was $1,437.3 million, an increase of $99.5 million (7.4 percent) from the second
Noninterest ExpenseSecond quarter of 2002 noninterest expense was $1,520.4 million, a decrease of $74.3 million (4.7 percent) from the second quarter of 2001. During the second quarter of 2002, noninterest expense included $71.6 million of merger and restructuring-related charges, compared with $252.8 million for the second quarter of 2001. Year-to-date noninterest expense was $2,957.2 million, a decrease of $436.0 million (12.8 percent) from the first six months of 2001. Year-to-date noninterest expense included $145.8 million of merger and restructuring-related charges, compared with $657.0 million for the same period of 2001. Also included in the June 30, 2001, year-to-date noninterest expense was $36.8 million relating to partnership and equity investments. Second quarter of 2002 noninterest expense, excluding merger and restructuring-related charges, totaled $1,448.8 million, an increase of $106.9 million (8.0 percent) from the second quarter of 2001. On a year-to-date basis, noninterest expense, excluding merger and restructuring-related charges, totaled $2,811.4 million, an increase of $75.2 million (2.7 percent) from the first half of 2001. The increase in noninterest expense from a year ago was primarily due to the costs associated with recent acquisitions, including NOVA, Pacific Century and Leader, which accounted for approximately $113.5 million of the increase in the second quarter of 2002. In addition, the second quarter of 2002 included $14.3 million of MSR impairment and higher expenses due to core banking growth. Offsetting the increases in expense were cost savings attributable to the Companys ongoing integration activities and the impact of adopting new accounting standards relating to business combinations and the amortization of intangibles.
Merger and Restructuring-Related ItemsEarnings in the second quarter of 2002 included pre-tax merger and restructuring-related items of $71.6 million ($46.7 million after taxes), compared with $391.9 million ($256.3 million after taxes) in the same quarter a year ago. Total merger and restructuring-related items for the
Income Tax ExpenseThe provision for income taxes was $439.6 million (an effective rate of 34.8 percent) for the second quarter of 2002 and $862.8 million (an effective rate of 34.8 percent) for the first six months of 2002, compared with $297.5 million (an effective rate of 34.6 percent) and $513.0 million (an effective rate of 34.5 percent) for the same periods of 2001. On an operating basis (excluding the impact of merger and restructuring-related items and the cumulative effect of change in accounting principles), the provision for income taxes was $464.5 million (an effective rate of 34.8 percent) for the second quarter of 2002 and $913.5 million (an effective rate of 34.8 percent) for the first six months of 2002, compared with $433.1 million (an effective rate of 34.6 percent) and $832.2 million (an effective rate of 34.0 percent) for the same periods of 2001. The increase in the effective rate is primarily due to the impact of adopting new accounting standards related to the amortization of goodwill.
BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS
Loans The Companys total loan portfolio was $114.6 billion at June 30, 2002, compared with $114.4 billion at December 31, 2001, an increase of $165 million (.1 percent). Commercial loans, including lease financing, totaled $44.5 billion at June 30, 2002, compared with $46.3 billion at December 31, 2001, a decrease of $1,839 million (4.0 percent). The Companys portfolio of commercial mortgages and construction loans was $25.3 billion at June 30, 2002, essentially flat, compared with $25.4 billion at December 31, 2001. The decrease in commercial and commercial real estate loans was primarily driven by lower loan origination and lending activity given the current economic environment. Residential mortgages held in the loan portfolio were $8.1 billion at June 30, 2002, compared with $7.8 billion at December 31, 2001, an increase of $278 million (3.6 percent). Total retail loans outstanding, which include credit card, retail leasing, home equity and second mortgages and other retail loans, were $36.7 billion at June 30, 2002, compared with $34.9 billion at December 31, 2001. The increase of $1.8 billion (5.2 percent) was driven by an increase in home equity lines during the recent declining rate environment and an increase in the retail leasing business. This growth was partially offset by a decline in credit card activity due to seasonality.
Loans Held for SaleAt June 30, 2002, loans held for sale, consisting primarily of residential mortgages to be sold in the secondary markets, were $1.9 billion, compared with $2.8 billion at December 31, 2001. The $890 million (31.6 percent) decrease primarily reflected the strong mortgage loan origination volume in late 2001 driven by record low rate levels and high refinancing activity relative to the first six months of 2002.
Investment SecuritiesAt June 30, 2002, investment securities, both available-for-sale and held-to-maturity, totaled $30.7 billion, compared with $26.6 billion at December 31, 2001. This $4.1 billion (15.3 percent) increase reflected the reinvestment of proceeds from loan sales and declines in commercial and commercial real estate loan balances. During the first six months of 2002, the Company sold $6.1 billion of fixed-rate securities. A portion of the fixed-rate securities sold was replaced with floating-rate securities in conjunction with the Companys interest rate risk management strategies.
Deposits Total deposits were $105.1 billion at June 30, 2002, essentially flat, compared with $105.2 billion at December 31, 2001. Noninterest-bearing deposits were also essentially flat at $31.3 billion at June 30, 2002, compared with $31.2 billion at December 31, 2001. Interest-bearing deposits totaled $73.8 billion at June 30, 2002, compared with $74.0 billion at December 31, 2001. The decline in interest-bearing deposits was driven by declines in higher cost time certificates (7.6 percent) and money market accounts
BorrowingsShort-term borrowings, which include federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other short-term borrowings, were $9.2 billion at June 30, 2002, compared with $14.7 billion at December 31, 2001. The decrease of $5.5 billion (37.6 percent) in short-term borrowings reflected a shift toward longer-term funding sources in connection with certain asset/liability decisions related to the management of interest rate risk given the historically low rate environment. Long-term debt was $33.0 billion at June 30, 2002, compared with $25.7 billion at December 31, 2001. The $7.3 billion (28.4 percent) increase in long-term debt included the issuance of $1.0 billion of fixed-rate subordinated notes in February 2002, the $5.4 billion issuance of medium-term and long-term bank notes and the issuance of $3.1 billion in long-term Federal Home Loan Bank advances in the first six months of 2002. The increase in long-term debt was partially offset by repayments and maturities of $2.4 billion during the first six months of 2002.
CORPORATE RISK PROFILE
Overview Managing risks is an essential part of successfully operating a financial services company. The most prominent risk exposures are credit, interest rate, market and liquidity. The Company also has exposure related to changes in residual valuations and ongoing operational activities. Credit risk is the risk of not collecting the interest and/or the principal balance of a loan or investment when it is due. Interest rate risk is the potential reduction of net interest income as a result of changes in interest rates. Rate movements can affect the repricing of assets and liabilities differently, as well as their market value. Market risk arises from fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and equity prices that may result in changes in the values of financial instruments, such as trading account and available-for-sale securities that are accounted for on a mark-to-market basis. Liquidity risk is the possible inability to fund obligations to depositors, investors and borrowers. Residual risk is the potential reduction in the end-of-term value of leased assets or the residual cash flows related to asset securitization and other off-balance sheet structures. Operational risk includes risks such as fraud, legal risk, processing errors and breaches of internal controls.
Credit Risk ManagementThe Companys strategy for credit risk management includes stringent, centralized credit policies, and uniform underwriting criteria for all loans, including specialized lending categories such as mortgage banking, commercial real estate and real estate construction financing, leveraged financing and consumer credit. The strategy also emphasizes diversification on a geographic, industry and customer level, regular credit examinations and quarterly management reviews of large loans and loans experiencing deterioration of credit quality. The Company strives to identify potential problem loans early, take any necessary charge-offs promptly and maintain adequate reserve levels. Commercial banking operations rely on a strong credit culture that combines prudent credit policies and individual lender accountability. In addition, the commercial lenders generally focus on middle market companies within their regions or niche national markets. The Company utilizes a credit risk rating system to measure the credit quality of individual commercial loan transactions and regularly forecasts potential changes in risk ratings and nonperforming status. The risk rating system is intended to identify and measure the credit quality of lending relationships. In the Companys retail banking operations, standard credit scoring systems are used to assess consumer credit risks and to price consumer products accordingly. The Company also engages in nonlending activities that may give rise to credit risk, including interest rate swap contracts for balance sheet hedging purposes, foreign exchange transactions and interest rate swap contracts for customers, and the processing of credit card transactions for merchants. These activities are also subject to a credit review, analysis and approval processes.
Analysis of Net Loan Charge-offsTotal net loan charge-offs were $330.5 million and $665.5 million during the second quarter and the first six months of 2002, respectively, compared with net charge-offs of $240.3 million and $717.4 million, respectively, for the same periods of 2001. Included in the 2001 year-to-date net charge-offs were $90.0 million of merger and restructuring-related write-offs taken to conform risk management practices, align charge-off policies and expedite the transition out of a specific segment of the healthcare portfolio not meeting the risk profile of the Company. The 2001 year-to-date net charge-offs also included $160.0 million of charge-offs taken in the first quarter of 2001 related to the Companys accelerated loan workout strategy. The level of net charge-offs during the second quarter and the first six months of 2002 reflected the impact of economic conditions and continued stress in various industry sectors. Management expects net charge-offs to remain at elevated levels but expects a lower trend by the end of the year.
Analysis of Nonperforming AssetsNonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans, restructured loans, other real estate and other nonperforming assets owned by the Company. Interest payments are typically applied against the principal balance and not recorded as income. At June 30, 2002, nonperforming assets totaled $1,147.7 million, compared with $1,120.0 million at December 31, 2001. The ratio of nonperforming assets to loans and other real estate was 1.00 percent at June 30, 2002, compared with a ratio of .98 percent at December 31, 2001. Nonperforming assets are expected to remain at elevated levels for the remainder of the year and may increase in the third quarter of 2002, primarily related to the telecommunications and cable industry sectors and leveraged enterprise financings. The Company does not expect to see a significant reduction in the level of nonperforming assets until the economy rebounds.
Analysis and Determination of the Allowance for Credit Losses The allowance for credit losses provides coverage for probable losses inherent in the Companys loan portfolio. Management evaluates the allowance each quarter to determine that it is adequate to cover inherent losses. The evaluation of each element and the overall allowance is based on a continuing assessment of problem loans and related off-balance sheet items, recent loss experience and other factors, including regulatory guidance and economic conditions.
Interest Rate Risk ManagementThe Company manages its exposure to adverse changes in interest rates through asset and liability management activities within guidelines established by its Asset/ Liability Policy Committee (ALPC). The Company limits the exposure of interest rate sensitive revenues, which includes both net interest income and selected other income, associated with interest rate movements through asset/ liability management strategies. ALPC uses simulation modeling and market value of equity as the primary methods for measuring and managing consolidated interest rate risk.
Interest Sensitive Revenue SimulationThe Company performs simulation analysis to estimate the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income and
Delinquent Loan Ratios (c)
Market Value of Equity ModelingThe Company also utilizes the market value of equity as a measurement tool in managing interest rate sensitivity. The market value of equity measures the degree to which the market values of the Companys assets and liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments will change given a change in interest rates. The amount of market value risk is subject to a limit, approved by the Companys Board of Directors, of a 15 percent change for an immediate 200 basis point rate shock. Given the low level of rates, currently the down 200 basis point scenario cannot be computed. ALPC reviews other down-rate scenarios to evaluate the impact of falling rates.
Use of Derivatives to Manage Interest Rate Risk In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into derivative transactions to manage interest rate risk and to accommodate the business requirements of its customers. To manage its interest rate risk, the Company may enter into interest rate swap agreements and interest rate options such as caps and floors. Interest rate swaps involve the exchange of fixed-rate and variable-rate payments without the exchange of the underlying notional amount on which the interest payments are calculated. In connection with its mortgage banking operations, the Company enters into forward commitments to sell mortgage loans related to
Market Risk ManagementMarket risk is subject to regular monitoring by management. The Company uses a value-at-risk (VaR) model to measure and manage market risk in its trading activities. The VaR model uses an estimate of volatility appropriate to each instrument and a ninety-ninth percentile adverse move in the underlying markets. The Company establishes market risk limits, subject to approval by the Companys Board of Directors. The Companys VaR limit was $40 million at June 30, 2002. The market valuation risk inherent in its customer-based derivative trading, mortgage banking pipeline, broker-dealer activities (including equities, fixed-income, and high-yield securities) and foreign exchange, as estimated by the VaR analysis, was $11.2 million at June 30, 2002.
Liquidity Risk ManagementALPC establishes policies, as well as analyzes and manages liquidity, to ensure that adequate funds are available to meet normal operating requirements in addition to unexpected customer demands for funds, such as high levels of deposit withdrawals or loan demand, in a timely and cost-effective manner. The most important factor in the preservation of liquidity is maintaining public confidence that facilitates the retention and growth of a large, stable supply of core deposits and wholesale funds. Ultimately, public confidence is generated
Residual Risk ManagementThe Company manages its risk to changes in the value of lease residual assets through disciplined residual setting and valuation at the inception of a lease, diversification of its vehicles, a focus on a longer term vehicle leases, effective end-of-term marketing of off-lease vehicles, regular asset valuation reviews and monitoring of residual value gains or losses upon the disposition of assets. To reduce the financial impact of potential changes in vehicle residuals, the Company maintains residual value risk insurance. Also, equipment lease originations are subject to the same stringent underwriting standards referred to in the segment captioned Credit Risk Management.
Operational Risk ManagementOperational risk represents the risk of loss resulting from the Companys operations, including, but not limited to, the risk of fraud by employees or persons outside the Company, the execution of unauthorized transactions by employees, errors relating to transaction processing and systems, and breaches of the internal control system and compliance requirements. This risk of loss also includes the potential legal actions that could arise as a result of an operational deficiency or as a result of noncompliance with applicable regulatory standards.
Capital ManagementThe Company is committed to managing capital for maximum shareholder benefit and maintaining strong protection for depositors and creditors. Total shareholders equity was $16.7 billion at June 30, 2002, compared with $16.5 billion at December 31, 2001. The increase was the result of increased corporate earnings, including merger and restructuring-related items and cumulative effect of change in accounting principles, offset by dividends, share buybacks and acquisitions.
LINE OF BUSINESS FINANCIAL REVIEW
Wholesale BankingWholesale Banking offers lending, depository, treasury management and other financial services to middle market, large corporate and public sector clients. Wholesale Banking contributed $378.9 million of the Companys net operating earnings in the second quarter of 2002 and $771.7 million in the first six months of 2002, a 5.2 percent decrease and 32.9 percent increase, respectively, over the same periods of 2001.
Consumer BankingConsumer Banking delivers products and services to the broad consumer market and small businesses through banking offices, telemarketing, on-line services, direct mail and automated teller machines (ATMs). It encompasses community banking, metropolitan banking, small business banking, consumer lending, mortgage banking, workplace banking, student banking, 24-hour banking and investment product and insurance sales. Consumer Banking contributed $397.2 million of the Companys net operating earnings for the second quarter of 2002 and $735.7 million for the first six months of 2002, a 2.5 percent increase and no change, respectively, over the same periods of 2001.
Private Client, Trust and Asset ManagementPrivate Client, Trust and Asset Management provides mutual fund processing services, trust, private banking and financial advisory services through four businesses, including: the Private Client Group, Corporate Trust, Institutional Trust and Custody, and Mutual Fund Services, LLC. The business segment also offers investment management services to several client segments including mutual funds, institutional customers, and private asset management. Private Client, Trust and Asset Management contributed $119.2 million of the Companys net operating earnings for the second quarter of 2002 and $232.7 million in the first six months of 2002, a .6 percent decrease and 4.1 percent increase, respectively, from the same periods in 2001.
Payment ServicesPayment Services includes consumer and business credit cards, corporate and purchasing card services, consumer lines of credit, ATM processing, merchant processing and debit cards. Payment Services contributed $169.3 million of the Companys net operating earnings for the second quarter of 2002 and $312.9 million for the first six months of 2002, a 51.2 percent and 27.7 percent increase, respectively, over the second quarter and the first six months of 2001. The business units financial results were, in part, driven by the impact of the NOVA acquisition completed during the third quarter of 2001.
Capital MarketsCapital Markets engages in equity and fixed income trading activities, offers investment banking and underwriting services for corporate and public sector customers and provides financial advisory services and securities, mutual funds, annuities and insurance products to consumers and regionally based businesses through a network of brokerage offices. Capital Markets contributed $10.8 million of the Companys net operating earnings for the second quarter of 2002 and $25.2 million for the first six months of 2002, a 45.2 percent and 40.7 percent decline, respectively, from the second quarter and the first six months of 2001. The unfavorable variance in net operating income from the second quarter and the first six months of 2001 was due to a decline in fees related to trading, investment product fees and commissions, investment banking fees and mark to market valuation adjustments reflecting the recent adverse capital markets conditions. Capital markets activities continued to experience weak sales volumes and lower levels of investment banking and merger and acquisition transactions. Management anticipates continued softness in sales activities and related revenue growth throughout the next several quarters. In response to the adverse market conditions, the Company restructured the division beginning in the second quarter of 2001 to improve the operating model and rationalize the distribution network.
Treasury and Corporate SupportTreasury and Corporate Support includes the Companys investment portfolios, funding, capital management and asset securitization activities, interest rate risk management, the net effect of transfer pricing related to average balances, and the change in residual allocations associated with the provision for loan losses. It also includes business activities managed on a corporate basis, including enterprise-wide operations and administrative support functions. Treasury and Corporate Support recorded net operating losses of $205.6 million in the second quarter of 2002 and $366.8 million for the first six months of 2002, a 6.5 percent improvement and 73.3 percent decline, respectively, from the comparable periods of 2001. During the second quarter of 2002, total net revenue was $203.9 million, compared with $43.4 million in the second quarter of 2001. The $160.5 million increase was attributable to an increase in net interest income. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to an increase in average investments of $6.7 billion from a year ago and the benefit of changes in the mix of funding during the declining rate environment. Noninterest income decreased $165.1 million during the first six months of 2002, compared with the same period for 2001 with securities gains of $73.3 million and $238.2 million, respectively. Noninterest expense was $369.6 million in the second quarter of 2002, compared with $363.1 million for the same period of 2001. The provision for credit losses for this business unit represents the residual aggregate of the credit losses allocated to the reportable business units and the Companys recorded provision determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The provision for credit losses was $181.3 million for the second quarter of 2002 and $322.7 million for the first six months of 2002, compared with $44.7 million and a net recovery of $96.1 million, respectively, for the comparable periods in 2001. The increase in provision expense period over period reflected continued elevated levels of net charge-offs and nonperforming assets on a consolidated level, despite the improving credit risk profile in the other reportable business units which was driven by reductions in higher risk loan commitments and the Companys workout strategies. Refer to the Corporate Risk Profile section for further information on provision for credit losses, nonperforming assets and factors considered by the Company in assessing the credit quality of the loan portfolio and establishing the allowance for credit losses.
ACCOUNTING CHANGES
Accounting for Business Combinations and Goodwill and Other Intangible AssetsIn June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (SFAS 141), Business Combinations, and Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142 (SFAS 142), Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS 141 mandates the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, and establishes specific criteria for the recognition of intangible assets separately from goodwill. SFAS 142 addresses the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. The Company adopted SFAS 142 on January 1, 2002. The most significant changes made by SFAS 142 are that goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are no longer amortized and will be tested for impairment at least

Accounting for Business Combinations and Goodwill and Other Intangible AssetsIn June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (SFAS 141), Business Combinations and Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142 (SFAS 142), Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS 141 mandates that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, and establishes specific criteria for the recognition of intangible assets separately from goodwill. SFAS 142 addresses the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. The Company adopted SFAS 142 on January 1, 2002. The most significant changes made by SFAS 142 are that goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are no longer amortized and will be tested for impairment at least annually, thereafter. Impairment charges from the initial impairment test were recognized as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principles in the income statement. The amortization provisions of SFAS 142 apply to goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001. With respect to goodwill and intangible assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001, the amortization provisions of SFAS 142 were effective upon adoption of SFAS 142.
