                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



To the Plan Administrator of the
Enesco Group, Inc. Retirement Plan:


We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits
of Enesco Group, Inc. Retirement Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2002, and
the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the
year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit. The accompanying 2001 statement of net
assets available for benefits of the Plan was audited by other auditors who have
ceased operations. Those auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on that
financial statement in their report dated May 31, 2002.


We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
December 31, 2002, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the
year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.


Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held
at end of year) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a
required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information
required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This
supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The
supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                           December 31, 2002 and 2001





(1)    DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

       The Enesco Group, Inc. Retirement Plan (the Plan) is a defined
       contribution plan established by Enesco Group, Inc. (the Company) to
       provide eligible employees with a program to save for retirement. It is
       subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
       of 1974 (ERISA), as amended. The following description of the Plan
       provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan
       agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

       (A)    ELIGIBILITY

              The Plan allows all eligible employees who are employed on a
              full-time basis to become a participant in the Plan on the first
              entry date coinciding with or next following their hire date. All
              eligible employees not employed on a full-time basis shall become
              a participant in the Plan as of the first entry date next
              following the date on which the eligible employee completes the
              eligibility service requirement of 1,000 hours worked in a
              12-month period.

       (B)    PARTICIPANT CONTRIBUTIONS

              Participants may elect to contribute a minimum of 1% up to a
              maximum of 6% of pretax annual compensation, as defined in the
              Plan, subject to certain limitations. Participants may also
              contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified
              plans.

       (C)    COMPANY CONTRIBUTIONS

              The Company provides for matching contributions (Matching
              Contributions) of 50% of a participant's contribution. The Company
              also provides for supplemental matching contributions
              (Supplemental Matching Contributions), whereby the Company will
              contribute (in Company stock) an amount equal to one-sixth of the
              Company's Matching Contributions, as defined in the Plan agreement
              (subject to a maximum of $800) for each eligible participant on
              the last day of each Plan year. In 2002 the Company was committed
              to contribute in Company stock $138,172 related to Company
              Supplemental Matching Contributions. Company Matching and
              Supplemental Matching Contributions are invested exclusively in
              the Company stock fund. The Company, at its discretion, may also
              provide for profit sharing contributions (Profit Sharing
              Contributions) based on a target percentage of eligible
              compensation established by the Company that would be allocable to
              all eligible participants, as defined in the Plan agreement. There
              were no Profit Sharing Contributions to the Plan during 2002. In
              addition, participants in the Plan who are still employed by the
              Company on the last day on the Plan year, are eligible to receive
              a contribution in an amount equal to 3% of their eligible
              compensation (Money Purchase Contributions). All Company
              contributions are subject to certain limitations.

       (D)    INVESTMENT OPTIONS

              Participants direct the investment of their account balance
              (except Company Matching and Supplemental Matching Contributions
              -- see note 4) into various investment options offered by the
              Plan, which currently consist of a Company stock fund and nine
              mutual funds.


                                                                   (Continued)

                           December 31, 2002 and 2001



       (E)    PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS

              Each participant's account is credited with the participant's
              contribution and allocations of (a) the Company's contributions,
              (b) Plan earnings/losses, net of any investment and administrative
              expenses (c) and forfeitures (see below). Allocations are based on
              participant contributions, and account balances or compensation,
              as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the
              benefit that can be provided from the participant's vested
              account.

       (F)    VESTING

              Participants are vested immediately in their contributions plus
              actual earnings thereon. Participants become immediately vested
              upon permanent disability, death, or upon retirement at age 65 or
              after. Vesting in the Company's total contributions is based on
              the following schedule:

</Table>

       (G)    FORFEITURES

              Forfeitures from the Company's Money Purchase Contributions are
              used to reduce the Company's Money Purchase Contributions in the
              subsequent year. Forfeitures in the amount of $113,076 were used
              to reduce Company Money Purchase Contributions in 2002.
              Forfeitures from the Company's Profit Sharing Contributions,
              Company Matching and Supplemental Matching Contributions are used
              first to reinstate certain participants forfeited accounts, as
              defined in the Plan agreement, and then to pay certain Plan
              expenses. Any excess amounts are allocated to eligible
              participants, as defined in the Plan agreement.

       (H)    PARTICIPANT LOANS

              Participants may borrow from their accounts a minimum of $500 up
              to a maximum of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance
              (excluding Company Profit Sharing Contributions and Money Purchase
              Contributions), whichever is less, less the participant's highest
              outstanding loan balance, if any. Loans are secured by the balance
              in the participant's account and bear interest at the prime
              interest rate as listed in The Wall Street Journal on the first
              business day of the calendar quarter in which the loan is issued,
              plus 1%. Principal and interest installment payments are made
              through payroll deductions and are payable within 5 years (except
              for loans used to acquire a principal residence, which are payable
              within 20 years).

       (I)    BENEFIT PAYMENTS

              Participants (or their beneficiaries, as applicable) may elect to
              have the value of their vested account distributed to them upon
              permanent disability or death, upon reaching normal retirement age
              (65), or


                                                                   (Continued)

                           December 31, 2002 and 2001



              upon termination of employment. A participant may elect to
              receive either a lump-sum amount equal to the value of the
              participant's vested interest in their account, or monthly,
              quarterly or annual installments for a specified number of years
              not to exceed the participant's life expectancy and that of their
              beneficiary. Participants may elect to receive any holdings in
              Company stock in cash or stock.

       (J)    TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

              Although it has not expressed any intention to do so, the Company
              has the right under the Plan to discontinue contributions and
              terminate the Plan at any time, subject to the provisions of
              ERISA. If the Plan is terminated, Plan participants will be fully
              vested in their Company contribution account balances.

(2)    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

       (A)    BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

              The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the
              accrual method of accounting.

       (B)    USE OF ESTIMATES

              The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
              accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
              requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
              the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and changes
              therein and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
              Actual results could differ from those estimates.

       (C)    INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION

              The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. Shares of mutual
              funds are valued at quoted market prices, which represent the net
              asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end. The Company's
              common stock is valued at its year-end closing price. Participant
              loans are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.

              Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date
              basis. Interest income is recorded as earned. Dividend income is
              recorded on the ex-dividend date. Capital gain distributions are
              included in dividend income.

       (D)    PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

              Benefit payments are recorded when paid.

       (E)    ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

              Administrative expenses are paid by the Plan.


                                                                   (Continued)

       During 2002, the Plan's investments (including gains and losses on
       investments bought and sold, as well as held during the year) depreciated
       in value by $3,232,589 as follows:

       The Plan provides for investments in common stock and mutual funds that,
       in general, are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, credit,
       and overall market volatility risks. Due to the level of risk associated
       with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that
       changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near
       term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported
       in the statements of net assets available for benefits.




                                                                   (Continued)

(5)    RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

       The Plan invests in shares of mutual funds managed by an affiliate of
       Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company (VFTC). VFTC acts as trustee for the
       Plan. The Plan also invests in Company common stock and allows loans to
       participants. These transactions qualify as party-in-interest
       transactions, which are exempt from the prohibited transaction rules.

(6)    TAX STATUS OF THE PLAN

       The Plan has received a favorable determination letter dated September 6,
       2002 from the Internal Revenue Service indicating that it is qualified
       under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (Code) and therefore
       the related trust is exempt from tax under Section 501(a) of the Code.
       The plan sponsor and plan administrator are not aware of any course of
       action or series of events that have occurred that would adversely affect
       the qualified status of the Plan.
