ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS.

Enesco continues to experience implementation challenges related to its new
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system that began during the first quarter of
2004. Despite a focused effort to resolve the issues, Enesco is still
experiencing inefficiencies related to order processing and shipping. In its
efforts to resolve these issues, Enesco plans to spend several million dollars
during the third and fourth quarters in associated system implementation costs.

Despite these issues, year to date incoming orders remain strong, surpassing
2003 levels for the same period. More information will be included in Enesco's
press release on third quarter financial results.
