Included in the reportable segment for the 40 weeks ended November 5, 2001 is one location opened during the second quarter. This location contributed revenues of $251,000, and incurred $41,000 of depreciation and amortization. This location represents $111,000 and $202,000 of net book value of equipment and leasehold improvements included in total assets, respectively, at November 5, 2001.
Included in the reportable segment for the 40 weeks ended November 5, 2001 is one location closed for the entire period and five locations closed during the first half of fiscal 2002. These six locations contributed revenues of $1,694,000 and incurred $311,000 of depreciation and amortization. These locations also have a net book value of equipment of $1,799,000, buildings of $2,691,000 and land of $2,676,000 included in total assets at November 5, 2001.
Note (D) Net Income (Loss) per Common Share
Net income (loss) per common share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and, as appropriate, dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Stock options are considered to be common stock equivalents.
Basic net income (loss) per common share is the amount of net income (loss) for the period available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is the amount of net income (loss) for the period available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period and to each share that would have been outstanding assuming the issuance of common shares for all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period.
In calculated net income (loss) per common share, the net income (loss) and the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding were the same for both the basic and diluted calculation. The computation of diluted net (loss) per share for the 12 week and 40 week periods ended November 4, 2002, does not include 735,000 in outstanding options as they would be anti-dilutive for the loss periods. The computation of diluted net income per share for the 12 week and 40 week periods ended November 5, 2001, excludes 742,000 in outstanding options due to the market price of the underlying stock being less than the exercise price.
Note (E) Goodwill
As of January 29, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard "SFAS" No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." Accordingly, effective January 29, 2002, the Company ceased amortizing goodwill recorded in past business combinations.
The following is the Company's disclosure of what reported net income (loss) and income (loss) per share would have been in all periods presented, exclusive of amortization expenses (including any related tax effects) recognized in those periods related to goodwill, intangible assets that are no longer being amortized and changes to amortization periods for intangible assets that will continue to be amortized.

SFAS 142 requires the Company to perform a transitional impairment test to determine whether there is an indication that goodwill currently recorded is impaired as of January 29, 2002.
