Change of Primary Financial Measure
Effective June 1, 2009, the primary financial measure used by the Company to evaluate performance of individual operating segments is Earnings Before Interest and Taxes ("EBIT") which represents net income before interest income, net and income taxes. Previously, the Company evaluated performance of individual operating segments based on income before income taxes (previously referred to as "Pre-tax Income"). Financial information has been restated to conform to the new primary financial measure used by the Company.

Unaudited, Reclassified Operating Segment Data The Company is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to reclassify historical segment information in accordance with the Company's current segment structure and to reflect the change in the primary financial measure used by the Company to evaluate performance of individual operating segments as discussed above.

Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K provide a summary of the effects of the above reclassification of historical segment information on the Company's historical segment results.

The changes in the segment structure and primary financial measure discussed above, in this Current Report on Form 8-K, affect only the manner in which the results for the operating segments were previously reported. These reclassifications have no impact on the Company's previously reported consolidated statements of income, balance sheets, statements of cash flows and statements of shareholders' equity. The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1 and 99.2, should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2009, which was filed with the Security and Exchange Commission on July 27, 2009.
