Our results for the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2009 of $0.61 per diluted share included $0.04 per diluted share of net charges primarily to increase reserves for certain state sales tax audit exposures, partially offset by a gain recorded on both, the redemptions received during the quarter on our investment in the Columbia Strategic Cash Portfolio, referred to as the Columbia Portfolio, and the change in the recorded fair value of the units held during the period.
