These exhibits are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Close out sales are sales of certain products that are no longer included in current product lines. Effective October 1, 2003, close out sales previously classified as a reduction of cost of sales are now classified as net sales in the company’s consolidated statements of operations. This change in classification has no impact on gross profit, operating income, net income, EPS, balance sheets or cash flows.
