ITEM 8. CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR
On March 11, 1998 the Company made a decision to change its fiscal year end
from a twelve month period ending each March 31 to a 52 or 53 week period ending
on the last Saturday of March. For the current year the Company's fiscal year
end will be March 28, 1998 rather than March 31, 1998. Since the change in
fiscal year end is from the last day of the month to a 52 - 53 week fiscal year
commencing within seven days of the month end, and the new fiscal year will
commence with the end of the old fiscal year, the change is not deemed a change
in fiscal year for purposes of reporting subject to Rule 13a-10 or 15d-10;
hence, a transition report is not required to be filed on the Form 10-K ending
March 28, 1998 or the first interim report of fiscal year 1999 ending June 27,
1998.
