(2) Interim Financial Data

     The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at June 28, 2003, and for the three and six months ended June 28, 2003 and June 29, 2002, are unaudited and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals and other adjustments which, in the opinion of our management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results, and cash flows for the interim periods indicated. Our fiscal quarters end on a Saturday (nearest to a quarter end) except for the fourth quarter which ends on December 31. For both the quarters ended June 28, 2003 and June 29, 2002 there were 64 shipping days. For the six months ended June 28, 2003, there were 126 shipping days, and for the six months ended June 29, 2002, there were 127 shipping days.
