On May 6, 2004, Casual Male Retail Group, Inc. (the "Company") issued
a press release announcing sales results for the first quarter of fiscal
2004, which ended on May 1, 2004.  In addition, the Company announced that
it boosted its marketing spend in the first quarter by over $3.5 million
in institutional television advertising, to help establish its George Foreman
men's apparel brand. As a result, the Company disclosed that its earnings per
share for the first quarter of fiscal 2004, which will be announced on May 20,
