The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP
financial measures used in managing the business may provide users of this financial information additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in
prior operating periods. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures can provide additional meaningful reflection of underlying trends of the business
because they provide a comparison of historical information that excludes certain items that impact the overall comparability. Management also uses these non-GAAP
financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating the Company's performance. See the Tables below for supplemental financial
data and corresponding reconciliations to GAAP financial measures for the three months ended September 26, 2008 and September 28, 2007. Non-GAAP financial
measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, management believes that certain non-
GAAP financial measures used in managing the business may provide users of this financial information additional meaningful comparisons between current results and
results in prior operating periods. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures can provide additional meaningful reflection of underlying trends of the
business because they provide a comparison of historical information that excludes certain items that impact the overall comparability. Management also uses these non-
GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating the Company's performance. See the Tables below for supplemental
financial data and corresponding reconciliations to GAAP financial measures for the nine months ended September 26, 2008 and September 28, 2007. Non-GAAP
financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
