     On May 7, 2003, we filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year
ended January 3, 2003 (the "10-K"). We omitted from the 10-K certain information
required under Form 10-K, Part III,  promulgated  under the Securities  Exchange

provides that information  required by Part III may be incorporated by reference
from the registrant's  definitive proxy statement (filed or to be filed pursuant
to  Regulation  13A under the  Exchange  Act) which  involves  the  election  of
directors,  if such definitive  proxy statement is filed with the Commission not
later than 120 days after the end of the fiscal year covered by the Form 10-K.
