Item 8. Change In Fiscal Year
The company has decided to modify its accounting periods effective in
fiscal 1996, from thirteen four week periods with the fiscal year ending on the
Saturday closest to December 31 to twelve monthly periods with the fiscal year
ending on December 31. Accordingly, under the new fiscal year calendar, the
company's quarters will each be comprised of three calendar months ending March
31, June 30, September 30, and December 31. Formerly, the company's first
quarter was comprised of sixteen weeks, and the remaining three quarters were
each comprised of twelve weeks. Due to the relative proximity of the new fiscal
year and quarter ending dates with the old dates, no restatements will be
required. The first SEC report affected by this change will be the 10 Q Report
for the first quarter of 1996 ending on March 31, 1996.
