ITEM 12. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
On March, 27 2003, the registrant issued a press release, attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K, incorporated herein by reference. The press release disclosed material non-public information regarding the registrant’s results of operations for a completed quarterly fiscal period.
The registrant’s management believes presentation of the non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) financial measure provides useful information to investors regarding the registrant’s financial condition and results of operations
The Company has provided previous guidance to investors in it’s March 6, 2003 sales press release based on non-GAAP adjusted results that exclude the gain from a tornado insurance settlement and asset impairment charges. The Company believes that excluding these items makes the results comparable and consistent to the previous guidance.
