Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources ------------------------------- The liquidity and capital resources discussion included on page 11 of the Company's Fiscal 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K remains applicable, other than the common stock repurchase program described below. In Fiscal 1992, the Company began a common stock repurchase program and purchased 8,000,000 shares in Fiscal 1992 and 1993. In September 1993, the Board of Directors authorized an additional 10,000,000 shares to be purchased under its stock repurchase program. Under this program, 3,000,000 shares were purchased in Fiscal 1994, 2,100,000 shares in Fiscal 1995 and 766,000 shares in the first quarter of Fiscal 1996. Results of Operations --------------------- Sales and cost of sales increased 10.4% during the first quarter of Fiscal 1996 over the same quarter of the prior year. Operating expenses for the periods presented remained approximately the same as a percent of sales. Interest expense in the current period increased over the prior period primarily due to rates. Income taxes for the current period reflect an effective rate of 39.0% as compared to 39.7% in the prior year. The rate reduction results from the effects of several tax savings initiatives. Increases in pretax earnings, net earnings and earnings per share for the periods shown resulted from a combination of the above factors. 7 PART II.
