Analysis of Results:
Investments held through investment partnerships affect our
reported quarterly earnings based on their carrying value. We
do not regard the quarterly or annual fluctuations in the
partnerships' carrying values to be meaningful. Therefore, our
operating businesses are best analyzed before the impact of
investment gains. As a consequence, in the preceding table we
separate earnings of our operating businesses from our investment
gains.
