3.       First-In, First-Out (“FIFO”) based inventory costs exceeded LIFO based inventory costs by $155,126,000 as of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to $136,051,000 as of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2013. The change in the LIFO Reserve for the three months ended December 28, 2013 was an increase of $7,676,000 as compared to an increase of $1,268,000 for the three months ended December 29, 2012. The change in the LIFO Reserve for the nine months ended December 28, 2013 was an increase of $22,111,000 as compared to a decrease of $1,176,000 for the nine months ended December 29, 2012. This reflects the projected impact of greater inflationary cost increases expected in fiscal 2014 versus fiscal 2013.
