The Company is now current in its filings and will notify The Nasdaq Stock Market that it is in compliance with the filing requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Select Market.

In finalizing its restated financial statements for the prior fiscal year, which ended on January 3, 2006, the Company made certain adjustments to the second and third quarter fiscal 2005 financial statements that were provided for comparative purposes in the Company’s press release of November 30, 2006. These adjustments relate solely to the Company’s accounting treatment of gift cards. A reconciliation of the adjustments made to the prior year financial statements was attached to the Company’s press release and a comprehensive analysis was provided in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, which was filed today. The Company also provided consolidated statements of operations for each quarter of fiscal 2005 as an attachment to the press release, for ease of reference.
