Risks Related to Our Company and Our Industry Although the disruptions in the capital and credit markets related to the recent national and world-wide financial crisis appear to be improving, any re-occurrence could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, or those of our customers and vendors. Our business is seasonal and is affected by general economic conditions. Our business may be adversely affected by economic and foreign issues abroad. We are dependent on third parties for the manufacture of the merchandise we sell. If our suppliers increase our costs, our margins may be adversely affected. Our success significantly depends on our key personnel and our ability to attract and retain additional personnel. The loss of, or disruption in, our centralized distribution center could negatively impact our business and operations. Our business may be negatively impacted and we may be liable if third parties misappropriate proprietary information of our customers and breach our security systems. We face greater challenges in managing several brands in multiple channels of distribution. We may not be successful in growing our market share. Our business is highly competitive, and competitive factors may reduce our revenues and profit margins. We may be unable to predict fashion trends and customer preferences successfully. Our marketing programs and success in maintaining and building our brand awareness are critical to achieving successful market share growth within the big tall industry. The loss of any of our key trademarks or licenses could adversely affect demand for our products. Acts of terrorism or a catastrophic event could negatively impact our operating results and financial condition. Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure and Stock Our stock price has been and may continue to be extremely volatile due to many factors. Rights of our stockholders may be negatively affected if we issue any of the shares of preferred stock which our Board of Directors has authorized for issuance. We have adopted anti-takeover defenses that could make it difficult for another company to acquire control of our Company or limit the price investors might be willing to pay for our stock, thus affecting the market price of our securities. State laws and our certificate of incorporation, as amended, may inhibit potential acquisition bids that could be beneficial to our stockholders.
