Risks Relating to Our Business
The loss of one or more of our key customers could result in a material loss of revenues.
The acceptance of our product in the marketplace is affected by consumers tastes and preferences, along with fashion trends.
The value of our brand, and our sales, could be diminished if we are associated with negative publicity.
The Company s royalty income is greatly impacted by the Company s brand reputation.
There are deflationary pressures on the selling price of apparel products.
Our business is sensitive to overall levels of consumer spending, particularly in the apparel segment.
We source substantially all of our products through foreign production arrangements. Our dependence on foreign supply sources could result in disruptions to our operations in the event of political instability, international events, or new foreign regulations and such disruptions may increase our cost of goods sold and decrease gross profit.
We operate in a highly-competitive market and the size and resources of some of our competitors may allow them to compete more effectively than we can, resulting in a loss of market share and, as a result, a decrease in revenues and gross profit.
The Company s retail success and future growth is dependent upon identifying locations and negotiating appropriate lease terms for retail stores.
Our substantial leverage could adversely affect our financial condition.
We may fail to realize the cost savings and other benefits that we expect from synergies and other cost reduction initiatives.
The Company s success is dependent upon retaining key individuals within the organization to execute the Company s strategic plan.
