Explanatory Note

This Form 10-K/A is filed solely to correct a mischecked box on the cover page of our original Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 27, 2012.  On our original filing, we incorrectly checked the “No” box in response to the third instruction on the cover page regarding whether (1) registrant has filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such reports), and (2) has been subject to such filing requirements for the past 90 days.  This Form 10-K/A correctly shows the “Yes” box checked in response to the third instruction.
