Item 5. OTHER EVENTS
On February 13, 2003 The Home Depot ("Home Depot") opened a free-standing
nursery store ("Landscape Supply") in the Dallas-Fort Worth Market, where
Calloway's operates sixteen of its twenty-six retail stores. Home Depot is a
much larger competitor with substantially greater financial resources than
Calloway's.
In a press release dated February 6, 2003 Home Depot stated that Landscape
Supply will be "focusing on the professional landscapers and avid
do-it-yourself garden enthusiasts." In addition, Home Depot stated that it
intends to open four additional Landscape Supply stores in the Dallas-Fort
Worth market.
The retail nature of Landscape Supply's locations, and the retail orientation
of its merchandise, causes management to believe it could represent a change
in the competitive environment in Dallas-Fort Worth.
