Fiscal 2006 reported a $14.9 million favorable income tax adjustment due to settling open tax years. Management believes presenting an adjusted effective income tax rate that eliminates this impact provides useful information to investors by enhancing comparability between periods and providing insight into management's near-term tax rate. The adjusted three-month effective tax rate for the period ending December 30, 2005 was 37.2% compared to the reported rate of 25.2%.
