 (LRG), which is discussed in detail below. Gross margin for the quarter improved by nearly 6 percentage points compared with the fourth quarter of 2002. Approximately 60 percent of this improvement was due to the consolidation of LRG retail margins and nearly 40 percent, or 2.2 percentage points, resulted from the manufacturing productivity improvements and successful inventory reduction efforts noted above. The $4.1 million increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses during the quarter was due entirely to the consolidation of LRG's selling expenses into the Bassett results. Other income was higher for both the fourth quarter and the year due primarily to better results from the Company's investment portfolio in 2003.

Sales for the fourth quarter of 2003 were $82.9 million, up 4 percent from the fourth quarter of 2002. This increase reflects the consolidation of LRG's retail sales. Sales for fiscal year 2003 were $316.9 million compared with $323.5 million for 2002. This decline was primarily attributable attributable

The Company reported a net loss of $.5 million or ($.04) per diluted share for the fiscal year 2003 after recognizing the cumulative effect of an accounting change discussed in detail below. The net loss in fiscal 2003 also included a previously announced $3.2 million charge related to closing its Dublin Dublin, city, Republic of Ireland

Adopting FIN 46 for LRG as of the beginning of year provides better and more complete financial reporting for 2003, and improved comparability for future periods. The adoption of FIN 46 resulted in a non-cash cumulative effect charge of $4.9 million (net of tax) or ($.42) per diluted share in the first quarter of 2003. Attached are schedules which present the first three quarters of fiscal 2003 adjusted for the consolidation of LRG pursuant to the adoption of FIN 46 as of the beginning of fiscal 2003 with reported fourth quarter and 2003 results, and compare the previously filed results with the adjusted results for each of the first three quarters.
