Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's projections and expectations are disclosed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These factors include, among others, changes in consumer preferences and product trends; price discounting by major competitors; unanticipated expenses, margin impacts and other factors resulting from the implementation of our new supply chain process; and increases in cost generally. All forward-looking statements in this presentation are expressly qualified by such cautionary statements and by reference to the underlying assumptions.
