Item 1.01  Entry into a material definitive agreement.

As previously reported, on October 18, 2004, the Company entered into a Trade
Payables Agreement with GMAC Commercial Finance, LLC ("GMAC CF") pursuant to
which GMAC CF effects payment of the Company's accounts payable to
participating suppliers.  The terms of such agreement remain unchanged.
Participating suppliers have the ability to have their accounts receivable from
the Company financed in advance by GMAC CF in an exchange for a negotiated
discount.  The Company, in turn, pays GMAC CF the full amount of the
corresponding accounts payable on their ordinary due dates.

The Company expects to reflect this program for the first time on its balance
sheet for the quarter ended April 30, 2005.  To more accurately describe this
 program, the accounts payable subject to the program will be reflected on the
Company's balance sheet as "trade payable program liability," rather than as
"financed vendor accounts payable" as previously reported.




Item 2.03  Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an
           Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

Unchanged from the initial filing.
