February 2008, in exchange for a cash payment made by us, the lawsuit was settled. The settlement amount, which was accrued as of January 31, 2008,
decreased fiscal 2008 diluted earnings per share by approximately $0.02.
Additionally, we are involved in various legal proceedings arising from the normal course of business activities. In our opinion, resolution of these
matters is not expected to have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows or our financial position. However, depending
on the nature and timing of any such dispute, an unfavorable resolution of a matter could materially affect our future results of operations, cash flows or
financial position in a particular period.
