Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On February 1, 2005 the Board of Directors of the Company approved a change in the Company’s fiscal year from December 31 to a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the last Saturday of December. The Company is implementing this change in order to facilitate more effective year-end and quarterly financial closing procedures. The Company’s current fiscal year will end on December 31, 2005. As a result of the change, the Company’s fiscal quarters will usually be 13 weeks and fiscal years will usually be 52 weeks. On occasion, the Company’s fiscal year will consist of 53 weeks. This is not deemed to be a change in fiscal year for the purposes of reporting subject to Rule 13a-10 or 15d-10 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 because the new fiscal year commences with the end of the old fiscal year and no transition report is required to be filed as a result of this change.
