Reclassifications
During the fiscal first quarter of 2004, the Company
realigneditsresourcestobettermanageitsrapidly growing
operations. In connection with this process, classification
of operating expenses within the consolidated statements
of earnings was evaluated using broad-based definitions of
retail, specialty and general and administrative functions.
As a result, management determined that certain functions
notdirectly supporting retailornon-retailoperations, such
as executive, administrative, finance and risk management
overheadprimarilywithininternationaloperations,wouldbe
moreappropriatelyclassifiedas“Generalandadministrative
expenses” than as store or other operating expenses.
Accordingly, amounts in prior year periods have been
reclassifiedtoconformtocurrentyearclassifications.
