Our Business Could Suffer As a Result of a Manufacturer s Inability to Produce Merchandise on Time and to Specifications. Our Business Could Suffer if a Manufacturer Fails to Use Acceptable Labor Practices. We Rely on a Small Number of Vendors to Supply a Significant Amount of our Merchandise. Foreign Suppliers Manufacture Most of Our Merchandise and the Availability and Costs of These Products May Be Negatively Affected by Risks Associated with International Trade. Our Growth Strategy Relies on the Continued Addition of a Significant Number of New Stores Each Year, Which Could Strain Our Resources and Cause the Performance of Our Existing Stores to Suffer. Our Continued Expansion Plan is Dependent on a Number of Factors Which, if Not Implemented, Could Delay or Prevent the Successful Opening of New Stores and Penetration into New Markets. The Loss of the Services of Key Personnel Could Have a Material Adverse Effect on Our Business. Failure of New Business Concepts Would Have an Effect on Our Results of Operations. Our Net Sales and Inventory Levels Fluctuate on a Seasonal Basis. A Downturn in the United States Economy May Affect Consumer Spending Habits. Our Ability to Attract Customers to Our Stores Depends Heavily on the Success of the Shopping Malls in Which We are Located. We Rely on a Single Distribution Center. We Rely on a Third Party to Manage Our Distribution Center. Failure to Protect Our Trademarks Adequately Could Negatively Impact Our Brand Image and Limit Our Ability to Penetrate New Markets.
