If the answer is no, identify report(s). Yes [X] No [ ] (3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? Yes [X] No [ ] The Company expects to report a net loss of approximately $17.1 million for the Year ended December 29, 2000, compared to a net loss of approximate $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. Revenues for the year ended December 29, 2000 were approximately $185.4 million, compared to approximately $263.9 million for the comparable prior period. Primarily as a result of the decline in revenue, gross profit for the year ended December 29, 2000 declined approximately $17.8 million to approximately $34.3 million, compared to approximately $52.1 million, for the comparable prior period. Operating expenses for the year ended December 29, 2000 declined approximately $3.4 million to approximately $49.6 million. Accordingly, the increase in net loss of approximately $15.5 million for the year ended December 29, 2000, as compared with the comparable prior period, is primarily attributable to the decrease in gross profit of approximately $17.8 million, resulting primarily from the decline in revenues, partially offset by the approximate $3.4 million decrease in operating expenses.
