4.   Derivative Financial Instruments
 
    At September 26, 2003, the Company had outstanding forward contracts to purchase £796,000 for approximately $1.3 million. The open contracts mature at various dates through February 13, 2004 and hedge certain forecasted inventory purchases denominated in the British Pound Sterling. The unrealized gain on the forward contracts at September 26, 2003 was $68,000, all of which is expected to be reclassified to earnings within the next 12 months. There was no gain or loss recorded in the period from hedge ineffectiveness or from forecasted transactions no longer expected to occur.
 
5.   Earnings Per Share
 
    Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all potential common stock outstanding during a period, if dilutive.
