The following table shows the range of high and low

The number of shareholders of record of the Company’s
Common Stock and Class A Common Stock at February 24,

Subject to our ongoing ability to generate sufficient income
through operations, to any future capital needs, and to other
contingencies, we expect to continue our policy of paying
dividends. Our articles of incorporation provide that no cash
dividends may be paid on our Class A Common Stock unless
equal or higher dividends are paid on the Common Stock.
Under our revolving credit agreement, we may pay cash
dividends in any fiscal year only if the dividends do not
exceed 50% of our consolidated net earnings for the prior
fiscal year plus the excess, if any, of the cash dividend limita-
tion applicable to the prior year over the dividend actually
paid in the prior year.
