The fiscal 2004 amounts reflect all known adjustments resulting from a review of certain accounting matters described below under the heading “Delayed Filing of Form 10-K and Intended Restatements of Financial Statements.”

Delayed Filing of Form 10-K and Intended Restatements of Financial Statements

          As previously announced, the Company delayed the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2005 due to a review of certain accounting matters. Although the review is not yet complete, the company restated its financial statements as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002. In addition, the Company will restate its unaudited quarterly financial data for the first and second quarters in fiscal year 2005, and each of the interim periods of fiscal years 2004 and 2003. There can be no assurance that the review will not result in a determination to further restate the Company’s financial statements, which could have a material adverse effect on its reported financial results. The Company is working on filing the restated documents with the SEC as soon as possible.

          As previously disclosed, the known restatements involve adjustments for three items: (i) income tax expense and related tax assets and liabilities, (ii) employee compensated absences, and (iii) separate identification of cash flows from discontinued operations in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” to correct the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2004 and earlier.
