EXPLANATORY NOTE:

            The Company is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A in
response to comments received from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC") regarding the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30,
2000 that was originally filed on March 28, 2001 (the "Original Filing"). As
requested by the SEC, the Company is providing additional disclosure in its MD&A
and Selected Financial Data and is including as an exhibit the preferability
letter issued by the Company's auditors on June 30, 2001. This report continues
to speak as of the date of the Original Filing, and the Company has not updated
the disclosure in this report to speak to any later date. While this report
primarily relates to the historical period covered, events may have taken place
since the date of the Original Filing that might have been reflected in this
report if they had taken place prior to the Original Filing. All information
contained in this amendment and the Original Filing is subject to updating and
supplementing as provided in the Company's periodic reports filed with the SEC.

            The Original Filing is hereby amended as follows:

"Annual Report") entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operations
and Financial Condition-Results of Operations-2000 Compared with 1999-Sales"
that was incorporated by reference into Part II, Item 7 of the Original Filing
and (ii) the table and notes on pages 30-31 of the Annual Report entitled
"Selected Financial Data" that were incorporated by reference into Part II, Item
6 of the Original Filing. All references in Items 6 and 7 to pages 25 and 30-31
of the Annual Report shall be deemed to be references to the corresponding pages
of Exhibit 13.1 to this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A.

            (b) The letter regarding the preferability of change in accounting
principle issued by the Company's auditors on June 30, 2001 is attached hereto
and filed herewith as Exhibit 18.
