EBITDA RECONCILIATION

The company may reference EBITDA as a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure. We define EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. For our fiscal year ended May 2, 2009, EBITDA of $49.8 million is calculated by (i) adding depreciation and amortization of $11.8 million and (ii) deducting net interest income of $.8 million to income before income taxes of $38.8 million.
