Item 5. Other Events and Regulation FD Disclosure.
Beginning in the first quarter of 2004, the Company modified its segment reporting from five reportable segments to four reportable segments. The Company no longer considers the Sprayers division a reportable segment under the requirements of SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” due to organizational changes and changes in the distribution and servicing of certain Sprayer products which became effective January 1, 2004. Therefore, the segment disclosures for 2003, 2002 and 2001 have been reclassified in the Company’s most recent audited financial statements to conform to the presentation going forward.
