Other income (expense) — net
For the year ended December 31, 2002, the decrease of $19 in other expense was primarily the result of a $10 reversal of an item
previously expensed related to a reciprocal agreement (offset by a reduction to revenues in a prior period), a $9 decrease from corrections
to interest rate swaps relating to debt buybacks and the reduction to other accruals totaling $38, partially offset by a $20 increase from
adjustments to the recognition of income and expense associated with sales of receivables and an $18 increase from corrections to the
timing of the recognition of impairment of investments.
For the year ended December 31, 2001, the $22 increase to other expense was primarily the result of adjustments of approximately $40
for the recognition of the income and expense associated with the sale of receivables, partially offset by decreases to other accruals.
