The move comes during an investigation by federal regulators into how Interstate Bakeries set workers’ compensation and other reserves. The adjustments to be made affect the two quarters ended 15 November 2003 and 6 March 2004 and reflect a US$40m charge related to workers’ compensation resources to pretax income, reported Reuters.
