words "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "objective," "goal,"
"project," "intend," "plan," "believe," "will," "should," "may,"
"target," "forecast," "guidance," "outlook" and similar expressions
generally identify forward-looking statements. Similarly,
descriptions of 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 the company believes the expectations
expressed in forward-looking statements are based on reasonable
assumptions within the bounds of knowledge, forward-looking
statements, by their nature, involve risks, uncertainties and other
factors, any one or a combination of which could materially affect
business, financial condition, results of operations or
liquidity.
Forward-looking statements that the company makes 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, the inability to successfully
execute strategic initiatives, competitive pressures, economic
pressures on customers and the company, the availability of brand
name closeout merchandise, trade restrictions, freight costs, the
risks discussed in the Risk Factors section of the company's
most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and other factors discussed
from time to time in 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. The company
undertakes 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 the company makes on related subjects in public
announcements and SEC filings.
