A. BASIS OF PREPARATION

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of December 28, 2002, and the results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the three months ended December 28, 2002 and December 29, 2001. The adjustments made are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q. It is suggested that these unaudited interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 28, 2002 filed by the Company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on December 9, 2002.

The results of operations for the three-month period ended December 28, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

Certain amounts for the three-month period ended December 29, 2001 have been reclassified for comparative purposes.
