Our failure to identify and respond appropriately to changing consumer preferences and fashion trends in a timely manner could have a material adverse impact on our business and profitability. Our net sales, operating income and inventory levels fluctuate on a seasonal basis. We have stated our intention to place a greater emphasis on apparel, Juniors merchandise, and the proprietary brand penetration within the Juniors category in our merchandising assortments than we have in the past, which may not be successful in improving our store productivity or profitability. Our reinvestment in our existing store base may not result in improved operating performance and the deceleration of our store refresh program in fiscal 2009 may cause many of our stores to become less attractive to customers. Our business depends on our ability to operate existing stores that achieve acceptable levels of profitability. Any failure to do so may negatively impact our stock price and operational performance. We face significant competition from both vertically-integrated and brand-based competitors that are growing rapidly, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. Our customers may not prefer our proprietary brand merchandise, which may negatively impact our profitability. Our current or prospective vendors may be unable or unwilling to supply us with adequate quantities of their merchandise in a timely manner or at acceptable prices, which could have a material adverse impact on our business. Our foreign sources of production may not always be reliable, which may result in a disruption in the flow of new merchandise to our stores. The loss of key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business at any time. Adverse outcomes of litigation matters could significantly affect our operating results. Our dependence on a single distribution facility exposes us to significant operational risks. Selling merchandise over the internet carries particular risks that can have a negative impact on our business. The effects of terrorism or war could significantly impact consumer spending and our operational performance. Our stock price can fluctuate significantly due to a variety of factors, which can negatively impact our total market value. Any material failure, interruption or security breach of our computer systems or information technology may adversely affect the operation of our business and our financial results.
