increase in depreciation expense, resulting in gross profit of $44 million, which was equal to the prior year. Gross margin was 17.9 percent versus 17.5 percent in fiscal 2002. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

was due in 2004. Unused availability under this revolving credit facility at year end was approximately $8 million. As previously announced, the Company entered into a new $100 million credit facility with GE Capital Finance on October 3, 2003. The
credit facility consists of a $50 million term loan and a $50 million revolving line of credit. Under the terms of the new revolving line of credit, the Company has increased its availability by $17 million. Net Debt (total debt less cash) at
