Item 5. Other Events and Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

The trial date for the commencement of the pending litigation between GIANT as plaintiff and L.H. Friend, Gregory Presson and Robert Campbell (“LH Friend”) as defendants has been rescheduled from June 1, 2004 to September 1, 2004. The trial date was changed by the judge due to a scheduling conflict involving the attorney for LH Friend.

 

This lawsuit asserts causes of action for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, constructive fraud and professional negligence arising from LH Friend’s services provided to the Company related to the acquisition of Periscope Sportswear, Inc. (“Periscope”) in December 1998. Periscope filed for bankruptcy protection in November 2000. The amount sought by GIANT in this lawsuit is approximately $35.2 million. Management is unable to predict the outcome of this legal action.
