Item 7.01 – Regulation FD Disclosure

Computational Guidance on Earnings Per Share Estimates

The Company frequently receives questions from analysts and shareholders regarding its diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) computation.  The information furnished in this Form 8-K provides additional information on the impact of key variables on the EPS computation, particularly as they relate to the fourth fiscal quarter of 2010.  

Accounting principles require that EPS be computed based on the weighted average shares outstanding (“basic”), and also assuming the issuance of potentially issuable shares (such as those subject to stock options, warrants, convertible notes, etc.) if those potentially issuable shares would reduce EPS (“diluted”).  

The number of shares related to options, warrants, and similar instruments included in diluted EPS is based on the “Treasury Stock Method” prescribed in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share (“FASB ASC Topic 260”).  This method assumes a theoretical repurchase of shares using the proceeds of the respective stock option or warrant exercise at a price equal to the issuer’s average stock price during the related earnings period.   Accordingly, the number of shares includable in the calculation of diluted EPS in respect of stock options, warrants and similar instruments is dependent on this average stock price and will increase as the average stock price increases.  This method is also utilized for net share settlement debt.

The number of shares includable in the calculation of diluted EPS in respect of conventional convertible or exchangeable securities is based on the “If Converted” method prescribed in FASB ASC Topic 260.  This method assumes the conversion or exchange of these securities for shares of common stock.  In determining if convertible or exchangeable securities are dilutive, the interest savings (net of tax) subsequent to an assumed conversion are added back to net earnings.  The shares related to a convertible or exchangeable security are included in diluted EPS only if EPS as otherwise calculated is greater than the interest savings, net of tax, divided by the shares issuable upon exercise or conversion of the instrument (“incremental earnings per share”).  Accordingly, the calculation of diluted EPS for these instruments is dependent on the level of net earnings.  Each series of convertible or exchangeable securities is considered individually and in sequence, starting with the series having the lowest incremental earnings per share, to determine if its effect is dilutive or anti-dilutive.  

The following estimates of shares expected to be used in the calculation of diluted EPS consider the number of the Company’s shares currently outstanding and the Company’s stock options, warrants and convertible or exchangeable securities currently outstanding and their exercise and conversion features currently in effect.  Changes in these parameters could have a material impact on the calculation of diluted EPS.

The following estimates of shares expected to be used in the calculation of diluted EPS should be read in conjunction with the information on earnings per share in the Company’s filings on Form 10-Q and Form 10-K.  These estimates are unaudited and are not necessarily indicative of the shares used in the diluted EPS computation for any prior period.  The estimates below are not necessarily indicative of the shares to be used in the quarterly diluted EPS computation for any period subsequent to the fourth fiscal quarter of 2010.  The Company assumes no duty to revise these estimates as a result of changes in the parameters on which they are based or any changes in accounting principles.  Also, the presentation is not intended as a forecast of EPS values or share prices of the Company’s common stock for any period.

For the fourth fiscal quarter of 2010:

• The Company has approximately 187 million shares issued and outstanding, including shares of common stock and class B common stock.
• The number of shares included in diluted EPS related to options, warrants, and similar instruments does not vary significantly and is generally less than 1 million incremental shares.
• The Company’s exchangeable unsecured notes due 2102 are dilutive at quarterly earnings levels in excess of approximately $2 million. The exchangeable unsecured notes are exchangeable for approximately 6 million shares. Quarterly interest, net of tax, is approximately $0.1 million.
