                                 EXHIBIT 99.1

In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 128, 
"Earnings per Share" (FAS 128).  FAS 128 replaced the calculation of primary 
and fully diluted net income (loss) per share with basic and diluted net 
income (loss) per share.  Unlike primary net income (loss) per share, basic 
net income (loss) per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants 
and convertible securities.  Diluted net income (loss) per share is very 
similar to the previously reported fully diluted net income (loss) per share. 
The effect of replacing primary net income (loss) per share by basic net 
income (loss) per share was $0.00 in 1996 due to the net loss for the year, 
$0.06 in 1995 and $0.03 in 1994.

Restatement of selected financial data is for the fiscal quarters in each of 
the years ended December 26, 1997, December 27, 1996 and December 29, 1995 and 
the five fiscal years ended December 27, 1996, and related disclosures as 
prescribed by FAS 128, "Earnings per Share" for the three fiscal years ended 
December 27, 1996.

In 1996, options outstanding would have been antidilutive, therefore, Basic 
and Dilutive earnings per share are the same.  The effect of convertible debt 
is excluded in all years from income available for shareholders and adjusted 
weighted-average common shares because they would have been antidilutive. The 
following amounts related to convertible debt and 1996 options have been 
excluded:
