| (1) In the first quarter
fiscal 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill
and Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 142 eliminates the
amortization of goodwill and instead requires that goodwill
be tested for impairment. Because we adopted these statements
effective with the beginning of fiscal 2002, we do not
have goodwill amortization in either year. |
