The uncertain economic conditions could materially adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. Our ability to continue to have the liquidity necessary through cash flows from operations combined with our new senior secured revolving credit facility may not be sufficient to support operations. We cannot assure the successful implementation and results of our long-term strategic initiatives and that we will continue to improve our operating results and return to long-term profitability. The success of our business will depend on our ability to develop merchandise offerings that resonate with our existing customers and attract new customers as well as our ability to continue to develop, evolve and promote our brand. Our 2010 operating plan is based on a number of material assumptions that may not occur. There are risks associated with the recent appointment of and transition to a new exclusive global merchandise buying agent. Our overseas merchandise purchasing strategy makes it vulnerable to certain risks and any disruption in our supply of merchandise would materially impact us. If our goodwill or other intangible assets become impaired, we may need to record significant non-cash impairment charges. The costs to close underperforming stores may be significant and may negatively impact our cash flows and our results of operations. In connection with the sale in 2009 of the J. Jill business we remain contingently responsible for certain material risks and obligations. We are subject to credit risk and to potential increased defaults and delinquencies on our customer charge card account portfolio. Our Credit Facility contains provisions which may restrict our operations and proposed financing and strategic transactions. Our success also depends upon our ability to maintain proper inventory levels. We may continue to experience fluctuations in operating results. Talented personnel are critical to our success. Our dependence on a single distribution facility. A major failure of our information systems could harm the business. The outcome of litigation and other claims is unpredictable.
