(1) A change in the cost of inventories sold during the previous quarters in the fiscal year results in a pre-tax increase or decrease in cost of sales. Diamond routinely revises its estimate for expected walnut costs to reflect changes in market conditions and other factors. In the quarter ended July 31, 2013, the prior period cost of sales adjustment for changes in walnut prices was $0.4 million. This was the result of a reduction in walnut prices in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 due to a credit from the Walnut Marketing Board. There were no such changes in estimates in the quarters ended January 31, 2013 and April 30, 2013.
(2) In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company recorded settlement costs associated with the private securities class action in the aggregate amount of $96.1 million.
