The apparel, footwear and accessories industries are highly competitive. Any increased competition could result in reduced sales or prices, or both, which could have a material adverse effect on us. We may not be able to respond to changing fashion and retail trends in a timely manner, which could have a material adverse effect on us. The apparel, footwear and accessories industries are heavily influenced by general economic cycles that affect consumer spending. A prolonged period of depressed consumer spending would have a material adverse effect on us. The loss or infringement of our trademarks and other proprietary rights could have a material adverse effect on us. The loss of key personnel could disrupt our operations and our ability to successfully execute our strategies. The extent of our foreign operations and manufacturing may adversely affect our domestic business. Fluctuations in the price, availability and quality of raw materials could cause delay and increase costs. Our reliance on independent manufacturers could cause delay and damage our reputation and customer relationships. Difficulties in implementing a new enterprise system could impact our ability to design, produce and ship our products on a timely basis.
