Risks Relating To Our Industry
We face intense competition within our industry and our revenue may decrease if we are not able to respond to this competition accordingly.
Regional or national economic slowdowns and high unemployment levels will likely have an adverse effect on our revenues and operating results.
The uniform and corporate identity apparel industry is subject to pricing pressures that may cause us to lower the prices we charge for our products and adversely affect our financial performance.
Increases in the price of raw materials used to manufacture our products could materially increase our costs and decrease our profitability.
Changing international trade regulation and the elimination of quotas on imports of textiles and apparel may increase competition in our industry. Future quotas, duties or tariffs may increase our costs or limit the amount of products that we can import.
The corporate identity apparel and uniform industry is subject to changing fashion trends and if we misjudge consumer preferences, the image of one or more of our brands may suffer and the demand for our products may decrease.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS
Our success depends upon the continued protection of our trademarks and other intellectual property rights and we may be forced to incur substantial costs to maintain, defend, protect and enforce our intellectual property rights.
Our customers may cancel or decrease the quantity of their orders, which could negatively impact our operating results.
We may undertake acquisitions to expand our business, which may pose risks to our business.
We are subject to local laws and regulations.
Shortages of supply of sourced goods from suppliers or interruptions in our manufacturing could adversely affect our results of operations.
Certain of our existing stockholders have significant control.
The success of our business depends on our ability to attract and retain qualified employees.
