Item 8. Change in Fiscal Year
---------------------
On December 21, 1998, the registrant changed its fiscal year effective with its
reporting for fiscal 1999, from a 4/4/5 week fiscal quarter basis ending the
Saturday closest to December 31 to a calendar quarter basis with the fiscal
year ending on December 31. Accordingly, under the new fiscal year calendar,
the registrant's quarters will each be comprised of three calendar months
ending March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31. Previously, each of
the registrant's quarters were comprised of thirteen weeks. Due to the relative
proximity of the new fiscal year end date with the registrant's former year
end date, no transition period will be required. The first SEC report affected
by this change will be the registrant's first quarter Form 10-Q ending
March 31, 1999. Fiscal 1999 under the new fiscal year calendar will have
363 days as compared with the registrant's fiscal year 1998 with 364 days.
