Item 4.02   Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

(a) The Corporation has historically recorded all proceeds received from the sale or maturity of U.S. Treasury Bills as an investing activity in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. In connection with the preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ended November 30, 2004, management determined that the proceeds received upon sale or maturity of the U.S. Treasury Bills represents an investing cash inflow for the amount of the original investment and an operating cash inflow for the interest received. On January 6, 2005, the audit committee of the Corporation’s board of directors concluded that the previously issued Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows contained in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2004 and the Corporation’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended August 31, 2004 should be restated, and therefore should no longer be relied upon.

In order to properly allocate the proceeds from the sale or maturity of U.S. Treasury Bills between operating and investing activities, the Corporation’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows will be restated for the years ended May 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 and for the 2004 quarterly periods. The restatement had no effect on the total or per-share amount of net earnings or retained earnings for such periods.

The decision to restate the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows was made by the audit committee of the board of directors upon the recommendation of management and after management’s discussion of this issue with the Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm. Having discussed the matter with management the audit committee approved and authorized the Corporation’s management to amend previously filed public reports. The Corporation will amend its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2004 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended August 31, 2004, and restate the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows contained in such reports as soon as practical. Stockholders should refer to the restated Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows when they become available.
