The change in the LIFO Reserve for the three months ended December 29, 2012 was an increase of $1,268,000 as compared to an increase of $10,774,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011. The change in the LIFO Reserve for the nine months ended December 29, 2012 was a decrease of $1,176,000 as compared to an increase of $30,055,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2011. This reflects the projected impact of reduced inflationary cost increases expected in fiscal 2013 versus fiscal 2012.
