We face significant competition in our industry. We are vulnerable to fluctuations in the price and supply of food ingredients, packaging materials and freight. We generally do not have long-term contracts with our suppliers, and as a result they could increase prices significantly or fail to deliver. If we lose one or more of our major customers, or if any of our major customers experience significant business interruption, our results of operations and our ability to service our indebtedness could be adversely affected. Due to the seasonality of the business, our revenue and operating results may vary quarter to quarter. Loss of any of our current co-packing arrangements could decrease our sales and earnings and put us at a competitive disadvantage. We may not be able to complete any future acquisitions, which could restrict our ability to grow our business; and if we fail to successfully integrate the Armour acquisition or any future acquisitions into our operations, our operating costs could increase and our operating margins, operating results and profitability may decrease. We are subject to environmental laws and regulations relating to hazardous materials used in or resulting from our operations. Liabilities or claims with respect to environmental matters could have a significant negative impact on our business. Our operations are subject to FDA and USDA governmental regulation, and there is no assurance that we will be in compliance with all regulations. We may be subject to significant liability should the consumption of any of our products cause injury, illness or death. Litigation regarding our trademarks and any other proprietary rights may have a significant, negative impact on our business. Termination of our material licenses would have a material adverse effect on our business. If we are unable to retain our key management personnel, our growth and future success may be impaired and our financial condition could suffer as a result. Our financial well-being could be jeopardized by unforeseen changes in our employees collective bargaining agreements or shifts in union policy. We are controlled by parties whose interests may not be aligned with yours.
