1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared by
Moore Corporation Limited in accordance with the recommendations of the Canadian
Institute of Chartered Accountants' (CICA) Handbook Section 1751 Interim
Financial Statements. As permitted by these standards, these interim financial
statements do not include all information required by Canadian generally
accepted accounting principles to be included in annual financial statements.
However, the Corporation considers that the disclosures made are adequate for a
fair presentation. Comparative figures have been reclassified where appropriate
to conform to the current presentation. Net sales and net earnings for any
interim period are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected
for the entire year.
These consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with
the accounting policies described in the Corporation's latest Annual Report on
Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and the notes thereto included in the Corporation's latest Annual
Report on Form 10-K.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, and, as such include
estimates and assumptions of management that affect the amounts reported in the
consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
Effective January 1, 2002, the Corporation adopted the recommendations of the
CICA Handbook Section 1650 - Foreign Currency Translation. The amendment to this
standard eliminated the deferral and amortization of unrealized gains and losses
on non-current monetary assets and liabilities and requires that exchange gains
or losses arising on translation of a foreign currency denominated non-monetary
item carried at market be included in income in the current reporting period.
The adoption of this section did not have any material impact on the
Corporation's financial position or results of operations.
Effective January 1, 2002, the Corporation adopted the recommendations of the
CICA Handbook Section 3062 - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. In accordance
with this accounting standard, goodwill and other intangible assets with
indefinite lives are no longer amortized but will be assessed for impairment on
an annual basis or as events or circumstances change that indicate goodwill or
other intangibles of a reporting unit may be impaired. The adoption of this
section did not have a material impact on the Corporation's financial position
or results of operations. The pro forma impact on the results of operations for
2001 has been disclosed in Note 3.
Effective January 1, 2002 the Corporation adopted the recommendations of the
CICA Handbook Section 3870, Stock-Based Compensation and Other Stock-Based
Payments. This standard, which establishes a fair value-based method of
accounting for stock-based compensation plans, also permits an election to
continue to use an intrinsic value-based method with disclosures on a pro forma
basis of net income and earnings per share under the new method. The Corporation
continues to measure compensation cost for its employee stock compensation plans
using the intrinsic value-based method of accounting, which generally does not
result in compensation costs. There were no such stock-based awards issued
during the three months ended March 31, 2002.

3. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The changes in the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets by
business segment for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 are as follows:

---------- ----------- ---------- --------
Balance at January 1, 2002 $39,440 $ 437 $ 2,417 $ 42,294

------- ------- ------- --------
Balance at March 31, 2002 $39,440 $11,803 $49,724 $100,967
======= ======= ======= ========
The total intangible asset amortization expense for the quarter ended March 31,
2001 was $1.4 million.
Other intangible assets consist primarily of customer lists which are amortized
over their estimated useful lives.
The Corporation has made recent acquisitions and is in the process of valuing
the net assets acquired as described in Note 12 and anticipates these valuations
will be completed by the second quarter of 2002. The Corporation believes that
the purchase price adjustments will not have a material impact on earnings for
the quarter.
In accordance with CICA 3062, the table below provides a reconciliation of the
reported net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2001 to the pro forma net
loss, which excludes previously recorded goodwill amortization:

4. DEBT
The Corporation has a $168.0 million committed revolving term facility that
matures on August 5, 2002 and is subject to a number of financial covenants that
are calculated on a quarterly basis including, but not limited to, tests of net
worth, leverage and interest coverage. At March 31, 2002 $70.0 million was drawn
down under the facility versus $15.0 million at December 31, 2001. The
Corporation is currently negotiating a new credit facility and expects to enter
into a new credit facility by the end of the second quarter of 2002, however,
the Corporation cannot give any assurance that it will be able to obtain a new
credit facility.
5. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER NON-RECURRING CHARGES
For the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Corporation recorded a pretax
restructuring provision of $66.7 million as follows:
Forms and Labels $ 12,485
Outsourcing 3,869
Commercial 17,082
Corporate 33,215
--------
Total $ 66,651
========
The restructuring charge of $66.7 million recorded during the first quarter of
2001 was directed at streamlining the Corporation's process and significantly
reducing the cost structure. Included in the charge is $34.6 million for
severance and termination benefits for 1,146 employees (substantially all were
terminated as of March 31, 2002), $29.3 million for lease terminations and
facility closings, $1.3 million for onerous contracts and $1.5 million for other
incremental exit costs. The Corporation expects that substantially all remaining
severance payments will occur by the end of the second quarter of 2002.

5. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER NON-RECURRING CHARGES (Continued)
Certain of the Corporation's facility lease obligations may continue until 2010;
however, actual results could vary based upon market conditions and the
Corporation's ability to sublease these properties. Any potential recovery or
additional charge may affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial
statements of future periods.
The reconciliation of the restructuring liability as of March 31, 2002 is as
follows:
December 31, Cash March 31,
2001 Paid 2002
-------- -------- --------
Employee terminations $ 41,955 $ (9,963) $ 31,992
Other 84,718 (3,313) 81,405
-------- -------- --------
$126,673 $(13,276) $113,397
======== ======== ========
For the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Corporation also recorded other
non-recurring charges consisting of a loss of $102.0 million from the partial
settlement of the U.S. pension plan, curtailed as of December 31, 2000 (included
in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expense); $0.9 million
relating to the replacement of senior executive officers included in selling,
general and administrative expense; and non-cash charges of $8.3 million for
plant closures and $3.8 million for abandoned information technology projects,
each related to asset impairments (included in depreciation and amortization
expense).
6. DISPOSITION AND ASSETS HELD FOR DISPOSITION
In the fourth quarter of 2001, the Corporation classified a non-core business as
an asset held for disposition and the carrying value was adjusted to its net
recoverable amount. Included in the results of the Commercial segment for the
three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 are sales of $50.1 million and $52.0
million, respectively, and operating income and loss of $2.8 million and $1.0
million, respectively, related to this business.
During 2001, the Corporation divested certain non-core assets in Europe and an
investment in common shares and secured convertible notes receivable. As a
result of these transactions, the Corporation received total consideration of
$12.5 million and recorded a loss on disposition of $7.1 million, net of tax of
$3.9 million. Included in the Corporation's results of operations for the three
months ended March 31, 2001 are sales of $7.5 million and loss from operations
of $0.1 million from divested assets.
During the first quarter of 2001, the Corporation formalized plans to dispose of
other non-core assets within the Commercial segment, and recorded a non-cash
charge, included in depreciation and amortization expense, of $45.7 million (net
of $2.6 million in taxes), based upon anticipated proceeds from disposition. Net
sales and operating loss contributed by these assets were $18.7 million and
$49.8 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The
Corporation disposed of these assets in the fourth quarter of 2001.
7. RECONCILIATION TO U.S. GAAP
The following summarizes the significant accounting differences between Canadian
GAAP and U.S. GAAP that give rise to the differences disclosed in the U.S. GAAP
reconciliation.
PENSIONS AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
The adoption of CICA 3461, Employee Future Benefits, effective January 1, 2000,
eliminated all significant differences in the method of accounting for these
costs under Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP. The transitional rules for implementing
CICA 3461 continue to result in United States GAAP reporting differences. Under
CICA 3461, all past net gains (losses), net assets and prior service costs were
recognized as of January 1, 2000. Under U.S. GAAP, net gains (losses), net
assets and prior service costs which occurred before January 1, 2000 were
recognized over the appropriate amortization period.
MOORE CORPORATION LIMITED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(TABULAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS OF U.S. DOLLARS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
7. RECONCILIATION TO U.S. GAAP (Continued)
STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
For Canadian GAAP, the Statements of Cash Flows disclose the net change in cash
resources, which is defined as cash less bank indebtedness. U.S. GAAP requires
the disclosure of cash and cash equivalents. Under U.S. GAAP, net cash provided
by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 would
be $33.3 million and $43.0 million, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents were
$59.3 million and $87.1 million at March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
ACCOUNTING FOOR CERTAIN INVESTMENT IN DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES
U.S. GAAP requires unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities to
be reported as a net amount in a separate component of shareholders' equity
until realized, whereas under Canadian GAAP such investments are recorded at
cost with no effect on net income or shareholders' equity.
STOCK COMPENSATION
The adoption of CICA 3870, Stock-Based Compensation and Other Stock-Based
Compensation, effectively eliminated any prospective differences in accounting
for these costs between Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP. Prior to CICA 3870,
recognition of compensation expense was not required for the Corporation's
Series I Preferences Shares, whereas under U.S. GAAP the benefits were accrued
based on the terms of the plan. The transition rules for CICA 3870 will continue
to generate differences in the compensation expense recognized for the Series I
Preference Shares.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
U.S. GAAP requires disclosure of comprehensive income and its components.
Comprehensive income is the change in equity of the Corporation from
transactions and other events other than those resulting from transactions with
owners, and is comprised of net income and other comprehensive income. The only
components of other comprehensive income for the Corporation are unrealized
foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains (losses) on
available-for-sale securities. Under Canadian GAAP, there is no standard for
reporting comprehensive income.
BUSINESS PROCESS REENGINEERING
Under U.S. GAAP, business process reengineering activities are expensed as
incurred. Prior to October 28, 1998, Canadian GAAP permitted these costs to
be capitalized or expensed. Subsequent to October 28, 1998, Canadian GAAP
requires the cost of business process reengineering activities to be expensed as
incurred. Prior to October 28, 1998, the Corporation capitalized business
process reengineering costs and classified them as computer software.
CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
Canadian GAAP requires that a portion of the subordinated convertible debentures
be classified as equity. The difference between the carrying amount of the
debenture and contractual liability is amortized to earnings. U.S. GAAP would
classify the subordinated convertible debentures as a liability. Under U.S.
GAAP, when convertible debt is converted to equity securities pursuant to an
inducement offer, the debtor is required to recognize in earnings, the fair
value of all securities and other consideration transferred in excess of the
fair value of the securities issuable in accordance with the original conversion
terms. Under Canadian GAAP, the fair value of the securities issued is charged
to retained earnings. Also under Canadian GAAP, certain other contingent
consideration is not recognized until paid; whereas under U.S. GAAP such
contingent consideration is recorded fair value each reporting period. Under
U.S. GAAP, when convertible debt is converted to equity securities, any
unamortized deferred debt issuance costs are charged to share capital. Under
Canadian GAAP, these costs are charged to earnings.

8. SEGMENT INFORMATION
In December 2000, the Corporation changed its executive management and the Board
of Directors and established a new strategic initiative that resulted in the
establishment of a new operating platform during the third quarter of 2001. This
realignment was made in order to segregate non-print related businesses and
align core businesses to take advantage of synergies and capitalize on core
competencies. The new segmentation reflects management's current structure with
regard to management's process for making decisions as it relates to resource
allocation and performance evaluation. During the first quarter of 2001, the
Corporation operated in three reportable segments as follows: Moore North
America, Integrated Business Solutions, and International and Other. Prior year
segment information has been reclassified to conform to the current year
presentation.
The Corporation operates in the printing industry with three distinct operating
segments based on the way management assesses information on a regular basis for
decision-making purposes. The three segments are Forms and Labels, Outsourcing
and Commercial. These segments market print and print related products and
services to a geographically diverse customer base.

9. PENDING LITIGATION
At March 31, 2002, certain lawsuits and other claims were pending against the
Corporation. While the outcome of these matters is subject to future resolution,
management's evaluation and analysis of such matters indicates that,
individually and in the aggregate, the probable ultimate resolution of such
matters will not have a material effect on the Corporation's consolidated
financial statements.

11. ENVIRONMENTAL
The Corporation is subject to laws and regulations relating to the protection of
the environment. The Corporation provides for expenses associated with
environmental remediation obligations when such amounts are probable and can be
reasonably estimated. Such accruals are adjusted as new information develops or
circumstances change and are not discounted. While it is not possible to
quantify with certainty the potential impact of actions regarding environmental
matters, particularly remediation and other compliance efforts that the
Corporation's subsidiaries may undertake in the future, in the opinion of
management, compliance with the present environmental protection laws, before
taking into account estimated recoveries from third parties, will not have a
material adverse effect upon the results of operations, cash flows or financial
condition of the Corporation.
12. ACQUISITIONS
During the three months ended March 31, 2002 the Corporation acquired The
Nielsen Company, a commercial printer. The Corporation has made preliminary
estimates that the cost exceeds the estimated fair value of the net assets
acquired by approximately $47.3 million. The Corporation will finalize
valuations for certain assets and contingent liabilities during the second
quarter of 2002 and adjust the carrying value of goodwill and other intangibles
accordingly. The pro forma disclosures of the Nielsen acquisition have been
excluded due to immateriality.
On December 31, 2001 the Corporation completed its acquisition of certain assets
of the relating to the Document Management Services business of IBM Canada Ltd.
The aggregate cost of the assets acquired was $14.6 million, including fees and
expenses. During the first quarter of 2002, the Corporation estimates the cost
exceeds the estimated fair value of net assets acquired by approximately $11.6
million. The Corporation will finalize valuations for certain assets and
contingent liabilities during the second quarter of 2002 and adjust the carrying
value of goodwill and other intangibles accordingly.
MOORE CORPORATION LIMITED
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
The Corporation operates in the printing industry with three distinct operating
segments in which management assesses information on a regular basis for
decision-making purposes. The three segments are Forms and Labels, Outsourcing
and Commercial. These segments market print and print related products and
services to a geographically diverse customer base.
The following discussion includes information on a consolidated basis presented
in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in Canada.
This discussion is supplemented by a discussion of segment operating income
before deductions for 2001 restructuring and non-recurring charges, including
the impairment of long-lived assets and a pension settlement. This supplemental
discussion of operating results before certain charges in 2001 should be read in
conjunction with the Corporation's reported consolidated financial statements.
Consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and
2001 are shown in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002 AS
COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001
CONSOLIDATED
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2002 were $529.5 million,
representing a $44.7 million or 7.8% decrease from the same period last year.
The decrease primarily results from sales declines in the U.S. and Canadian
Forms and Labels business ($18.9 million) primarily related to the decision to
exit certain non-core products; the divestiture of the Phoenix business
($18.7 million); various other divestitures in Europe ($7.5 million); and the
devaluation of certain foreign currencies ($7.2 million). The decrease was
partially offset by sales from new acquisitions ($19.1 million).
Cost of sales decreased $99.9 million to $361.0 million or 68.2% of consolidated
net sales for the first quarter of 2002 compared to 80.3% in 2001. The
percentage decrease was primarily due to the non-recurring charge of $61.2
million for the partial settlement of the U.S. pension plan included in cost of
sales for the first quarter of 2001 and lower sales volumes. Excluding this
charge, cost of sales would have been 69.6% of consolidated net sales for the
first quarter of 2001. The Corporation anticipates further cost reductions
resulting from increasing production efficiencies and partnering with suppliers.
Selling, general and administrative costs decreased $62.5 million to $124.4
million or 23.5% of consolidated net sales for the three months ended March 31,
2002 compared to $186.9 million or 32.6% in 2001. Included in selling, general
and administrative costs for the first quarter of 2001 was $40.8 million related
to the U.S. pension settlement. Excluding this charge in 2001, selling, general
and administrative costs would have been 25.3% of consolidated net sales. The
remaining $21.7 million incremental selling, general and administrative
reduction in 2002 compared to 2001 was attributable to the benefits achieved
from the Corporation's 2001 restructuring activities and an overall focus on
efficiencies.
Depreciation and amortization expense was $22.2 million and $89.0 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease of
$66.8 million is primarily due to 2001 non-cash charges of $48.3 million related
to goodwill written down to its net recoverable amount for assets held for
disposition and $12.1 million for asset impairments, including plant closures
and abandoned information technology projects.
Income from operations was $21.9 million for the first quarter of 2002 compared
to a loss from operations of $229.3 million for the same prior year period. This
improvement results from the benefits achieved from restructuring and other
non-recurring charges that were included in the first quarter 2001. Excluding
the impact of these charges, income from operations increased $21.2 million for
2002 due to improved operating results across all business segments, as
described below.
MOORE CORPORATION LIMITED
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net interest expense decreased by $3.5 million to $2.6 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2002. This decrease is attributable to the redemption of
$100 million of senior guaranteed notes and the conversion of the Corporation's
$70.5 million subordinated convertible debentures, both in December 2001.
The 2002 effective income tax rate was 27.0% versus a 15.9% benefit in 2001. The
2002 effective rate was affected by the Corporation's lower tax rates in other
non-U.S. jurisdictions.
Net earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2002 increased $214.0 million
over the prior year to $12.5 million, or $0.11 per diluted share as a result of
cost savings generated by the 2001 restructuring activities. This increase
primarily relates to the restructuring and other non-recurring charges that were
included in the three months ended March 31, 2001.
RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER NON-RECURRING CHARGES
There were no restructuring or other non-recurring charges recorded for the
three months ended March 31, 2002.
During the first quarter of 2001, the Corporation recorded restructuring and
other non-recurring charges totaling $194.2 million, net of taxes, or $2.20 per
diluted share. These charges can be categorized as follows:
- Restructuring provisions of $66.7 million, primarily related to
workforce reductions, lease terminations and other costs;
- Non-cash charges related to asset impairment of $12.1 million,
included in depreciation and amortization expense;
- Severance of $0.9 million related to the replacement of senior
executive officers;
- Loss on disposal of non-core assets of $7.1 million (net of $3.9
million in taxes), included in investment and other income;
- Write-down of non-core business held for sale of $45.7 million (net of
$2.6 million in taxes); and
- Loss of $61.7 million (net of $40.3 million in taxes), from the
partial settlement of the U.S. pension plan.
The following table and management discussion summarizes the operating results
of the Corporation's business segments, excluding for 2001 the impact of the
restructuring and other non-recurring charges previously discussed.

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2002 was $12.5 million or $0.11
per diluted share. For the same period in 2001, net of the above noted items,
the Corporation reported a net loss of $7.3 million or $0.08 per diluted share.
MOORE CORPORATION LIMITED
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FORMS AND LABELS
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2002 decreased $25.6 million or
8.4%, primarily due to declines in the North American Forms and Labels business,
due to the Corporation's decision in 2001 to exit non-core products ($14.1
million) and volume declines due to the economy offset by new customers. In
Latin America, sales declined by $6.7 million primarily due to the devaluation
of various foreign currencies.
Operating income for the three month period ended March 31, 2002 increased by
$16.2 million to $30.0 million, primarily due to the Corporation's decision to
streamline its Forms and Labels operations, including the elimination of
non-customer critical positions, productivity improvements (waste reductions and
higher throughput), and the aforementioned exiting of non-core products.
OUTSOURCING
Net sales were relatively consistent, $97.7 million and $97.9 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Growth achieved from
new and existing customers in the financial, insurance, and telecommunications
markets, combined with the acquisition of the Document Management Services
business of IBM Canada Ltd., was offset by declines in the prepaid telephone
card market resulting from a delay in the timing of orders, as well as the
impact of the decision to exit the manufacture of certain non-secured stored
value cards.
Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2002 increased $1.5
million, or 7.7%, due to cost savings achieved through workforce reductions and
cost containment.
COMMERCIAL
Net sales declined by $18.9 million or 11.1% due to the divesture of the Phoenix
business unit ($18.7 million) and divestitures in Europe ($7.5 million).
Excluding these divestitures, net sales increased $7.3 million primarily as a
result of the acquisition of The Nielsen Company on January 31, 2002 and
increased volumes in the direct mail business.
Operating income for the first quarter 2002 increased $6.5 million to $12.1
million over the same prior year period. The increase was driven by a $3.4
million increase in the direct mail business due to strong volume growth and
cost reductions resulting from the 2001 restructuring activities.
CORPORATE
Increases in operating expenses are due to employee benefit related costs and
professional fees.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
In addition to its cash generated from operations, the Corporation has a $168.0
million committed revolving term facility that matures on August 5, 2002 and is
subject to a number of financial covenants that are calculated on a quarterly
basis including, but not limited to, tests of net worth, leverage and interest
coverage. At March 31, 2002 $70.0 million was drawn down under the facility
versus $15.0 million at December 31, 2001. The Corporation is currently
negotiating a new credit facility, and expects to enter into a new facility by
the end of the second quarter of 2002, however, the Corporation cannot give any
assurance that it will be able to obtain a new credit facility. The Corporation
also maintains uncommitted bank operating lines in the majority of the domestic
markets in which it operates. These lines of credit are maintained to cover
temporary cash shortfalls. Available borrowings under these uncommitted
facilities amounted to $39.0 million at March 31, 2002, and may be terminated at
any time at the Corporation's option. Total availability under these facilities
at March 31, 2002 was approximately $137.0 million. In addition, within the next
six to twelve months the Corporation expects to receive approximately $150
million, before taxes, fees and transfers to other employee benefit plans, from
the termination of the U.S. pension plan. The Corporation has $17.3 million in
outstanding letters of credit at March 31, 2002.
MOORE CORPORATION LIMITED
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
An additional source of liquidity at March 31, 2002 was the Corporation's
short-term investments in the amount of $43.5 million, which primarily consist
of certificate and term deposits, treasury bills and bank notes. These
investments are with financial institutions of sound credit rating and are
highly liquid as the majority mature within one to seven days and are classified
as "cash and cash equivalents."
At March 31, 2002 the Corporation had $100.0 million of senior guaranteed notes
outstanding. These notes are divided in two series, $42.8 million and $57.2
million, that mature on March 25, 2006 and 2009 respectively, and bear interest
of 7.84% and 8.05% respectively.
As of March 31, 2002, the Corporation met its financial covenants and believes
it has sufficient liquidity to complete the restructuring activities initiated
in 2001 and effectively manage the financial needs of the businesses.
On February 7, 2002, the Corporation announced a program to repurchase up to $50
million of its shares. The program calls for shares to be purchased on the New
York Stock Exchange from time to time depending upon market conditions, market
price of the common shares and the assessment of the cash flow needs by the
Corporation's management. As of March 31, 2002 the Corporation had repurchased
96,300 shares.
Net cash provided from operating activities was $1.7 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $3.6 million for the same period last
year. The change was primarily due to changes in working capital, including an
increase in days' sales outstanding offset by better operating results in the
Corporation's core businesses.
Net cash used by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2002
was $61.7 million versus net cash provided of $3.7 million in the same period of
2001. The increased expenditures relate to the acquisition of The Nielsen
Company for $57.2 million, net of cash received.
Net cash provided from financing activities for the three months ended March 31,
2002 and 2001 was $58.5 million and $33.8 million, respectively. The increase
relates to short-term borrowings used to finance the aforementioned Nielsen
acquisition.
As of March 31, 2002 the aggregate amount of outstanding forward contracts was
$12.1 million. Unrealized gains and losses from these foreign currency contracts
were not significant at March 31, 2002. The Corporation does not use derivative
financial instruments for trading purposes.
