3. First-In, First-Out (“FIFO”) based inventory costs exceeded LIFO based inventory costs by $158,955,000 as of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2015 as compared to $147,449,000 as of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2014. The change in the LIFO Reserve for the three months ended September 27, 2014 was a increase of $5,919,000 as compared to an increase of $8,637,000 for the three months ended September 28, 2013. The LIFO Reserve increased by $5,570,000 in the first six months of fiscal 2015 compared to an increase of $14,435,000 in the first six months of fiscal 2014. This reflects the projected impact of an overall lower cost increase expected in fiscal 2015 versus fiscal 2014.
