Our business depends upon qualified employees. If demand for our products slows, then our business may be materially affected. If we are unable to compete successfully against other businesses that sell the products that we sell, we could lose customers and our sales and profits may decline. If we cannot profitably increase our market share in the commercial auto parts business, our sales growth may be limited. If our vendors continue to consolidate, we may pay higher prices for our merchandise. Consolidation among our competitors may negatively impact our business. War or acts of terrorism or the threat of either may negatively impact availability of merchandise and adversely impact our sales. Rising energy prices may negatively impact our profitability. Demand for our merchandise may decline if vehicle manufacturers refuse to make available the information our customers need to work on their own vehicles.
