ITEM 8. CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR
On June 5, 2000, Cheshire Distributors, Inc. (the "Company") changed its annual
fiscal period to a fifty-two week period consisting of four thirteen week
interim periods, with the fiscal year ending February 28, 2001. The change is
not expected to materially impact reported results of operations for the first
interim period of fiscal 2000, and will be reflected in the Company's report on
Form 10-Q for the period ended May 31, 2000. The Company elected to make this
change in its fiscal year to coincide with the fiscal year end of its principal
operating subsidiary, Cardoso Cigarette Depot (Proprietary) Limited, which it
acquired on April 7, 2000.
