    business segment classifications. The Disney Store Catalog and
    the Disney Store Online, which were previously reported in the
    Internet Group, are now reported in the Consumer Products
    segment. Prior-year amounts have been reclassified to reflect the
    current-year presentation.

(2)  Pro forma segment operating income has been adjusted to reflect
     the impact of SOP 00-2. The respective adjustments for the year
     will (decrease) increase segment operating income as follows:

(3)  During the quarter, the company made certain changes to its
     business segment classifications. The Disney Store Catalog and
     the Disney Store Online, which were previously reported in the
     Internet Group, are now reported in the Consumer Products
     segment. Prior-year amounts have been reclassified to reflect the
     current-year presentation.

      income for all of the company's cable businesses. The Disney
      share of operating income represents the company's ownership

      are reported in "Segment operating income" in the statements of
      income. Equity investments are accounted for under the equity

      income of investees" in the statements of income.
