____________________ (1) As a result of AT&T Corp.'s spin off of its broadband business, which merged with Comcast Corporation, for the 25 shares of AT&T Corp. previously included in each round lot of 100 Telecom HOLDRS, the Bank of New York received 8.0875 shares of Comcast corporation and distributed these shares at a rate of 0.080875 per Telecom HOLDR to holders of record on November 26, 2002. Comcast Corporation was not added as an underlying security of the Telecom HOLDRS because Comcast Corporation had a different Global Industry Classification Standard sector classification than each of the underlying securities represented in the Telcom HOLDRS at the time of the distribution. The share amounts listed in the table above reflect all previous stock splits, dividends and business combination transactions. The date of this prospectus supplement is March 31, 2003. -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
