Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
The information provided in Item 4.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is

Item 4.02. Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related
Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
On April 15, 2005, management of the Company and the Audit Committee of the
Board of Directors, after discussion with Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Company's
independent registered public accounting firm, concluded that the financial
statements reported in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July
31, 2004 and the Form 10-Q filings for each of the fiscal quarters ended October
30, 2004 and January 29, 2005 should be restated because the Company's prior
classification of allowances from developers (related to the construction of its
stores) as a reduction of capital expenditures in the preparation of the balance
sheets and statements of cash flows contained in such financial statements was
in error. Accordingly, such previously filed financial statements should no
longer be relied upon because of these errors.
The Company will restate the previously filed financial statements to correct
the errors and expects to file restated financial statements as soon as
practicable.
Attached is the press release issued by the Company in connection with the
restatement, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
