Our discretion in some matters is limited by the restrictions contained in our senior secured credit facility and in the indenture that governs our senior unsecured notes, and any default on our senior secured credit facility or the indenture that governs the senior unsecured notes could harm our business, profitability and growth prospects. We may not be able to attract or retain a sufficient number of customers in a highly competitive retail environment, which would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our operating results fluctuate from season to season. We may pursue strategic acquisitions of businesses which may not be completed or, if completed, may not be successfully integrated into our existing business. The loss of the outside vendor that operates our proprietary credit card programs could have an adverse effect on our operations and financial results. If we are unable to effectively market our business or if our advertising campaigns are ineffective, our revenues may decline and our results of operations could be adversely affected. Tim Grumbacher beneficially owns shares of our capital stock giving him voting control over matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders, and he may take actions that conflict with the interests of our other shareholders and holders of our debt securities.
