                           --------------------------


Explanation for Item 3, Part IV -- The Registrant currently expects to report an
estimated net income of approximately $303,000 or $.08 per basic share for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2001, compared to a net loss of approximately
($2,250,000) or ($0.57) per basic share for the fiscal year period ended June
24, 2000. The increase in net income is primarily the result of (i) an increase
in net sales, coupled with a decrease in the cost of sales as a percentage of
net sales and (ii) a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses.
