statements. Forward-looking statements refer to our current expectations
and projections relating to, by way of example and without limitation,
our financial condition, liquidity, profitability, results of
operations, margins, plans, objectives, strategies, future performance,

“estimate”, “expect”, “project”, “plan”, “intend”, “believe”, “may”,
“might”, “will”, “could”, “should”, “can have”, “likely”, “outlook” and
other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any
discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial
performance or other events, but not all forward-looking statements
contain these identifying words. These forward-looking statements are
based on assumptions that the Company’s management has made in light of
their industry experience and on their perceptions of historical trends,
current conditions, expected future developments and other factors they

guarantees of performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties
(some of which are beyond the Company’s control) and assumptions. These
risks, uncertainties and assumptions include, but are not limited to,
the following: decreases in consumer spending due to declines in
consumer confidence, local economic conditions or changes in consumer
preferences and the Company’s ability to effectively execute on its
growth strategy; the failure to maintain and enhance its strong brand
image; to compete effectively; to maintain good relationships with its
key suppliers; and to improve and expand its exclusive product
offerings. The Company discusses the foregoing risks and other risks in
greater detail under the heading “Risk factors” in the periodic reports
filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Although the Company believes that these forward-looking statements are
based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors
could affect the Company’s actual financial results and cause them to
differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking
statements. Because of these factors, the Company cautions that you
should not place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking
statements. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it
is impossible for the Company to predict those events or how they may
affect the Company. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only
