in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 2, 2002. Under these circumstances, Rule 437(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, permits us to file this registration statement without Arthur Andersen&#146;s consent. Because
Arthur Andersen has not consented to the incorporation by reference of their report into this registration statement, your right of recovery under Section 11 of the Securities Act may be limited, as you will not be able to assert claims against
Arthur Andersen under Section 11 of the Securities Act for any untrue statements of a material fact contained, or any omissions to state a material fact required to be stated, in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 2,
2002. In addition, the ability of Arthur Andersen to satisfy any claims (including claims arising from Arthur Andersen&#146;s provision of auditing and other services to us) may be limited as a practical matter due to recent events regarding Arthur
