3.       First-In, First-Out (“FIFO”) based inventory costs exceeded LIFO based inventory costs by $147,449,000 as of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to $134,783,000 as of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2013. The change in the LIFO Reserve for the three months ended September 28, 2013 was an increase of $8,637,000 as compared to a decrease of $3,706,000 for the three months ended September 29, 2012. The LIFO Reserve increased by $14,435,000 in the first six months of fiscal 2014 compared to a decrease of $2,444,000 in the first six months of fiscal 2013. This reflects the projected impact of increased inflationary cost increases expected in fiscal 2014 versus fiscal 2013.
