"objective," "goal," "project," "intend," "plan," "believe,"
"will," "should," "may," "target," "forecast," "guidance,"
"outlook" and similar expressions generally identify
forward-looking statements. Similarly, descriptions of our
objectives, strategies, plans, goals or targets are also
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements relate to
the expectations of management as to future occurrences and trends,
including statements expressing optimism or pessimism about future
operating results or events and projected sales, earnings, capital
expenditures and business strategy. Forward-looking statements are
based upon a number of assumptions concerning future conditions
that may ultimately prove to be inaccurate. Forward-looking
statements are and will be based upon management's then-current
views and assumptions regarding future events and operating
performance and are applicable only as of the dates of such
statements. Although we believe the expectations expressed in
forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions
within the bounds of our knowledge, forward-looking statements, by
their nature, involve risks, uncertainties and other factors, any
one or a combination of which could materially affect our business,
financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Forward-looking statements that we make herein and in other
reports and releases are not guarantees of future performance and
actual results may differ materially from those discussed in such
forward-looking statements as a result of various factors,
including, but not limited to, current economic and credit
conditions, the cost of goods, our inability to successfully
execute strategic initiatives, competitive pressures, economic
pressures on our customers and us, the availability of brand name
closeout merchandise, trade restrictions, freight costs, the
risks discussed in the Risk Factors section of our most recent
Annual Report on Form 10-K, and other factors discussed from time
to time in our other filings with the SEC, including Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. This release
should be read in conjunction with such filings, and you should
consider all of these risks, uncertainties and other factors
carefully in evaluating forward-looking statements.
You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date thereof. We undertake
no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we
make on related subjects in our public announcements and SEC
