NOTE: Shares and earnings per share data have been adjusted throughout the annual report to give effect to the two-for-one stock split declared on January 22, 2004 and payable on March 8, 2004 to shareholders of record on March 1, 2004.
| (1) | In 1998, Polaris entered into a settlement agreement related to a trade secret infringement claim brought by Injection Research Specialists, Inc. The one-time provision for litigation loss amounted to $61.4 million, or $0.77 per diluted share in 1998. The settlement had no effect on the future operations of the Company. Excluding this charge, other operating expenses, net income and diluted net income per share for 1998 would have been $102.8 million, $70.6 million and $1.36 per share, respectively. | |||
| (2) | The comparability of the information reflected in the Selected Financial data is materially affected by the conversion from a master limited partnership to a corporation on December 22, 1994, which resulted in the Company recording a net deferred tax asset of $65.0 million, conversion expenses of $12.3 million and a corresponding net increase in 1994 net income. Pro forma data is presented to assist in comparing the continuing results of operations of the Company exclusive of the conversion costs and as if the Company was a taxable corporation for each period presented. | |||
