Item 5. Other Events and Regulation FD Disclosure
The Registrant issued a press release on July 23, 2001, reporting its
results for the second quarter. After it issued the release, the
Registrant determined that it had paid approximately $17.6 million of
accounts payable before July 1, 2001 that was not reflected in the
consolidated condensed balance sheet that accompanied the press release.
As a result, each of the "Cash and Cash Equivalents" and "Payables and
Accrued Liabilities" line items, as they appeared in the balance sheet
attached to the July 23, 2001 press release, were overstated by $17.6
million. These items have now been reclassified. This reclassification
does not affect the operating results or working capital balances of the
Registrant for the quarter ended July 1, 2001.
Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference is the
text of the press release, as it was issued on July 23, 2001, and the
accompanying financial statements, which have been corrected as described
above. For purposes of the press release, a definition of EBITDA is
provided in Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
The discussion included in the attached press release contains forward-
looking statements based on the current expectations of the Registrant's
management. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ from those projected. See "Factors
Affecting Future Results and Definition of EBITDA" attached hereto as
Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference. Readers are cautioned
not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.
