Quarterly report pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d)

Exhibit 20


Subsidiary Guarantees of Debt

The company’s notes payable and senior credit facilities are guaranteed on a full, unconditional and joint and several basis by certain of the company’s wholly owned domestic subsidiaries. The senior credit facilities are secured by: (1) a pledge of 100 percent of the stock owned by the company in its material direct and indirect majority-owned domestic subsidiaries and (2) a pledge of the company’s stock, owned directly or indirectly, of certain foreign subsidiaries, which equals 65 percent of the stock of each foreign subsidiary.

The following is unaudited condensed, consolidating financial information for the company, segregating the guarantor subsidiaries and non-guarantor subsidiaries, as of September 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006, and for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007, and October 1, 2006. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in order to conform to the current year presentation. Prior year amounts have also been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the company’s fourth quarter 2006 change in accounting for certain inventories from last-in, first-out (LIFO) to first-in, first-out (FIFO) (as discussed in Note 7 to the company’s consolidated financial statements). Separate financial statements for the guarantor subsidiaries and the non-guarantor subsidiaries are not presented because management has determined that such financial statements would not be material to investors.
