Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
Inadvertently, the press release furnished under Item 2.02 of our Form 8-K dated December 6, 2005 (filed December 6, 2005) incorrectly set forth our basic and diluted earnings per share in our non-GAAP reconcilliation for the 52 weeks ended September 25, 2005. This Form 8-K/A furnishes the corrected version of our non-GAAP reconcilliation. The non-GAAP financial information concerns net income and net income per share for fiscal 2005 excluding a tax benefit resulting from a refund, with interest, of certain Minnesota corporate income taxes paid for the years 1995 through 1999 and the reversal of a related tax reserve, offset in part by an adjustment to the carrying value of net operating loss carryforwards. For each non-GAAP measure, the reconcilliation also provides the most directly comparable GAAP measure and a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measure to the GAAP measure. Management believes that the non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors regarding our results of operations and financia l condition because they eliminate unusual items impacting earnings and facilitate a more meaningful comparison and understanding of our operating performance for the current, past and future periods. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to monitor and evaluate ongoing operating results and trends and to gain an understanding of our comparative operating performance.
