Item 8. Change in Fiscal Year
The Registrant, pursuant to a resolution adopted by its Board of Directors
on December 13, 1996, has determined to change its fiscal year. Currently, the
Registrant's fiscal year ends on December 31. Beginning in 1997, the Registrant
will change to a "4-4-5" week quarterly closing calendar pursuant to which each
fiscal year shall end on the last Wednesday of the calendar year. The 4-4-5
closing calendar is the norm for the restaurant industry and generally
results in four 13-week quarters with each quarter ending on a Wednesday.
For 1997, the fiscal quarters will end April 2, July 2, October 1, and
December 31, respectively. Since the opening of the new fiscal year will
begin the day after the closing date of the existing fiscal year, there
will be no transition period for which a report to the Securities and Exchange
Commission will need to be filed.
