INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE INTO THIS<BR>
REGISTRATION STATEMENT</B></FONT>

<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On March&nbsp;22, 2002, the Registrant announced that it had appointed KPMG LLP
to replace Arthur Andersen LLP (&#147;Andersen&#148;) as the Registrant&#146;s independent
auditors. The Registrant&#146;s consolidated balance sheets as of December&nbsp;29, 2001
and December&nbsp;30, 2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders&#146; equity and cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the
period ended December&nbsp;29, 2001, incorporated by reference in this registration
statement have been audited by Andersen, as stated in their report dated March
11, 2002, which is incorporated by reference herein. After reasonable efforts,
the Registrant has been unable to obtain Andersen&#146;s consent to the
incorporation by reference into this registration statement of its report with
respect to these financial statements. Under these circumstances, Rule&nbsp;437a
under the Securities Act of 1933 permits us to file this registration statement
without a written consent from Andersen. The absence of such consent may limit
recovery by investors on certain claims. In particular, and without
limitation, investors will not be able to assert claims against Andersen under
Section&nbsp;11 of the Securities Act. In addition, the ability of Andersen to
satisfy any claims (including claims arising from Andersen&#146;s provision of
auditing and other services to us) may be limited as a practical matter due to
recent events regarding Andersen.

INFORMATION REGARDING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE INTO THIS
REGISTRATION STATEMENT
On March 22, 2002, the Registrant announced that it had appointed KPMG LLP
to replace Arthur Andersen LLP ("Andersen") as the Registrant's independent
auditors. The Registrant's consolidated balance sheets as of December 29, 2001
and December 30, 2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the
period ended December 29, 2001, incorporated by reference in this registration
statement have been audited by Andersen, as stated in their report dated March
11, 2002, which is incorporated by reference herein. After reasonable efforts,
the Registrant has been unable to obtain Andersen's consent to the
incorporation by reference into this registration statement of its report with
respect to these financial statements. Under these circumstances, Rule 437a
under the Securities Act of 1933 permits us to file this registration statement
without a written consent from Andersen. The absence of such consent may limit
recovery by investors on certain claims. In particular, and without
limitation, investors will not be able to assert claims against Andersen under
Section 11 of the Securities Act. In addition, the ability of Andersen to
satisfy any claims (including claims arising from Andersen's provision of
auditing and other services to us) may be limited as a practical matter due to
recent events regarding Andersen.
