Employee stock plans represent options and shares granted under the Company's employee stock purchase, stock option and deferred compensation stock plans.  Options to purchase 56.3 million and 10.5 million shares of common stock at August 4, 2002 and July 29, 2001, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
