Other Events and Regulation FD Disclosure The Registrant issued a press release on July 23, 2001, reporting its results for the second quarter. After it issued the release, the Registrant determined that it had paid approximately $17.6 million of accounts payable before July 1, 2001 that was not reflected in the consolidated condensed balance sheet that accompanied the press release. As a result, each of the "Cash and Cash Equivalents" and "Payables and Accrued Liabilities" line items, as they appeared in the balance sheet attached to the July 23, 2001 press release, were overstated by $17.6 million. These items have now been reclassified. This reclassification does not affect the operating results or working capital balances of the Registrant for the quarter ended July 1, 2001. Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference is the text of the press release, as it was issued on July 23, 2001, and the accompanying financial statements, which have been corrected as described above. For purposes of the press release, a definition of EBITDA is provided in Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
