10. Segments
We operate two reportable segments: Domestic and International. The Domestic segment includes U.S. Best Buy and Magnolia Hi-Fi stores. The International segment is comprised of Future Shop and Canadian Best Buy stores. As described in note 2, we have classified the results of operations of Musicland as discontinued operations. The Musicland business was previously included in our Domestic segment. The data included below were revised to exclude amounts related to Musicland.

11. Commitments and Contingencies
At the end of fiscal 2003, we had commitments for the purchase and construction of facilities valued at approximately $20.

We are involved in various legal proceedings arising during the normal course of conducting business. Management believes that the resolution of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will not have a significant adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2002, the FASB issued FIN No. 45, Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. FIN No. 45 provides guidance on the recognition and disclosure of certain types of guarantees, including product warranties. We assumed a liability for certain extended service contracts when we acquired Future Shop in the third quarter of fiscal 2002. Subsequent to the acquisition, extended service contracts were sold on behalf of an unrelated third party, without recourse. An accrued liability has been established for the acquired extended service contracts based on historical trends in product failure rates and the expected material and labor costs necessary to provide the services. The remaining term of these extended service contracts varies by product and extend up to four years. The estimated remaining liability for extended service contracts at March 1, 2003, is $28.
 

The following table reconciles the changes in our liability for extended service contracts for the year ended March 1, 2003:
Balance at March 2, 2002 $ 17  
Final purchase price allocation adjustment 37  
Service charges (28)  
Foreign exchange 2  

 
Balance at March 1, 2003 $ 28   >>
