Item 8. Change in Fiscal Year
At its November 4, 1997 Board meeting, the Board of
Directors of OshKosh B'Gosh, Inc. approved a change in its
fiscal year from a calendar year to a 52-53 week year ending
on the Saturday closest to December 31, beginning in 1998.
Each quarter will consist of a 13-week period ending on a
Saturday. For 1998, the quarter end dates will be April 4,
July 4, October 3, and January 2, 1999. Since this change
in fiscal year consists only of a change from the last day
of December to a 52-53 week year ending in the same month,
additional filing of financial information on Form 10-Q for
a transition period is not required.
