Our backlog of open orders at October 1, 2004 scheduled for delivery within the next five months (October 2, 2004 - February February: see month.  25, 2005) increased 7% to $46.6 million, compared to $43.5 million at October 3, 2003.

At October 1, 2004, the open order backlog for delivery in the next 12 months increased 7% to $62.9 million, from $58.8 million at October 3, 2003.

Mr. Fisher continued, "Our increase in open orders scheduled for delivery over the next five months is due primarily to the growth in our technical running footwear category in both our international and domestic markets and to the impact of a weaker U.S. dollar. Despite strong sales of our mid-priced cross-over and originals footwear products in the quarter ended October 1, 2004, our open orders scheduled for delivery over the next five months for the mid-priced cross-over and originals categories did not meet our expectations at October 1, 2004. However, we expect that our focus in technical footwear and the expansion of our brand reach in cross-over and originals footwear are and will continue to be keys to our effort to meet our long-term Long-term
