         Subsequent to the issuance of its condensed consolidated financial
         statements for the three and six month periods ended September 28,
         2002, the Company determined that it should have included convertible
         participating preferred stock in its calculation of basic earnings per
         common share under the if-converted method.

         As a result, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
         statements for the three and six months ended September 28, 2002 have
         been restated from the amounts previously reported to reduce basic
         earnings per common share for the three and six month periods ended
         September 28, 2002 from $.32 to $.21 and $.61 to $.39, respectively.
