(a) Effective January 1, 2003, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections.” Among other provisions, SFAS No. 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4, “Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt,” such that gains or losses from the extinguishment of our debt will no longer be classified as extraordinary items. Upon adoption in 2003, the extraordinary item for loss on early extinguishment of debt of $1.0 million before income taxes recorded for 2002 was reclassified to loss on early extinguishment of debt included in interest and other debt expense in our Consolidated Statements of Income. In addition, interest and other debt expense in 2005, 2004 and 2003 includes a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $11.2 million, $1.6 million and $19.2 million, respectively.
