PRIORITY HEALTHCARE CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

 

1.   The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. Certain information and footnote disclosures, including significant accounting policies, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. The Company believes that the financial statements for the three-month periods ended March 29, 2003 and March 30, 2002 include all necessary adjustments for fair presentation. Results for any interim period may not be indicative of the results for the entire year.

 

2.   A reconciliation of the basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding is as follows for the three-month periods ended March 29, 2003 and March 30, 2002:

 

    

(000’s omitted)

Weighted average number of Class A and Class B
Common shares outstanding used as the denominator
in the basic earnings per share calculation

  

43,522

  

43,770

Additional shares assuming exercise of dilutive stock options

  

417

  

841

Additional shares assuming unearned restricted stock is earned

Additional shares assuming contingently issuable shares related
to acquisitions are issued

Weighted average number of Class A and Class B
Common and equivalent shares used as the
denominator in the diluted earnings per
share calculation

  

44,011

  

44,611

    
  

 

Options to purchase 3.6 million and 1.3 million shares with exercise prices greater than the average market prices of common stock during the three-month periods ended March 29, 2003 and March 30, 2002 were outstanding at March 29, 2003 and March 30, 2002, respectively. These options were excluded from the respective computations of diluted earnings per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

3.   In December 2002, SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure” was issued. This statement provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. This statement also amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to require prominent disclosures about the method of accounting for stock-based compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. Finally, this statement amends Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting,” to require disclosure about those effects in interim financial information. As required, the Company adopted this statement effective in 2002. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.
