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 and six-month periods ended June 28, 2003 and June 29, 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 and six-month periods ended June 28, 2003 and June 29, 2002:

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

   43,549    43,873    43,577    43,976

Additional shares assuming exercise of dilutive stock options

   537    782    656    723

Additional shares assuming unearned restricted stock is earned

   33    —      36    —  

Additional shares assuming contingently issuable shares related to acquisitions are issued

   31    —      20    —  
    
  
  
  

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

   44,150    44,655    44,289    44,699
    
  
  
  

 

Options to purchase 3.5 million and 2.9 million shares with exercise prices greater than the average market prices of common stock during the three-month periods ended June 28, 2003 and June 29, 2002 were outstanding at June 28, 2003 and June 29, 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.

 

In accordance with the provision of SFAS No. 123, the Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related Interpretations in accounting

 

5


for its stock option plans. Accordingly, the Company uses the intrinsic-value method of accounting for stock options granted to employees and does not currently recognize compensation expense for its stock option awards to employees in the consolidated statements of earnings. If the Company had elected to recognize compensation expense based on the fair value of the options at the grant date as prescribed by SFAS No. 123, pro forma net income and earnings would have been:
