On March 9, 2005, the Registrant issued a press release. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report. The press release includes a net income growth ratio which excludes the impact of the Company's change in accounting for cooperative advertising, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. For purposes of SEC Regulation G, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a registrant's historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statement of operations, balance sheet or statement of cash flows (or equivalent statements) of the registrant; or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable financial measure so calculated and presented. In this regard, GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Management uses a net income growth ratio without the accounting change as a financial measure to assess the performance of the Company's business. Management also believes that providing this information to investors assists investors in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of the Company's business.
