Item 2.02                      Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
 
On January 24, 2012, we issued a press release regarding our financial results for the fiscal quarter ended December 25, 2011, which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
 
The press release includes certain “non-GAAP financial measures” within the meaning of the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  With respect to such non-GAAP financial measures, we have disclosed in the press release the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and have provided a reconciliation of such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.  Management believes that the non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors regarding our results of operations and financial condition because they eliminate unusual items impacting earnings and facilitate a more meaningful comparison and understanding of our operating performance for the current, past and future periods.
