TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
Item 8.01 Other Events
Beginning with the first quarter of fiscal year 2006, the Registrant reported the
performance of its operating segments including equity in the income of investees to align with how
management reports and measures segment performance for internal management purposes. Previously,
equity in the income of investees was reported as a reconciling item between segment operating
income and income before income taxes, minority interests and the cumulative effect of accounting
changes.
Set forth in Exhibit 99 and incorporated herein by reference are Items 7, 7A and 8 of the
Registrants Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
October 1, 2005 which has been adjusted to reflect
segment operating income for fiscal years 2005, 2004 and 2003 with equity in the income of
investees included in segment operating income. There is no impact to
reported net income or earnings per share, as this adjustment is only a reclassification.
