3.       First-In, First-Out (“FIFO”) based inventory costs exceeded LIFO based inventory costs by $134.8 million as of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to $109.2 million as of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2012. The change in the LIFO Reserve for the three months ended September 29, 2012 was a decrease of $3,706,000 as compared to an increase of $12,754,000 for the three months ended October 1, 2011. The LIFO Reserve decreased by $2,444,000 in the first six months of fiscal 2013 compared to an increase of $19,281,000 in the first six months of fiscal 2012. This reflects the projected impact of decreased inflationary cost increases expected in fiscal 2013 versus fiscal 2012.
