Based on a combination of factors, including the deterioration in the macro-economic environment, declines in the stock market and the decline in the price of the Company's common stock, the Company experienced a significant decline in its market capitalization during the first quarter of fiscal 2009. As a result, the Company completed a goodwill impairment analysis as of December 27, 2008 using the two-step approach, as required under U.S. GAAP, and determined that a portion of its goodwill was impaired. As a result, in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $2.34 billion.

A further discussion of our non-GAAP fiscal 2009 results and guidance is included in the attachment to this press release.
