reissuance of their report on our financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended March 2, 2002, and March 3, 2001, as required by Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Securities Act&#148;). Under these
circumstances, Rule 437a under the Securities Act 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 fiscal years ended March 2, 2002, and March 3, 2001. 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 events regarding Arthur Andersen. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
