CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The Company and Parent obtained or
created certain information used in the press release from research, surveys or studies conducted by third parties, information
provided by customers, and industry or general publications. Industry publications and surveys generally state that they have obtained

not make any representation as to the accuracy of such information.

The press release contains
forward-looking statements and information about the Company's current and future prospects and the Company's
operations and financial results, which are based on currently available information. The forward-looking statements include
assumptions about the Company's operations, such as cost control, market conditions, liquidity and financial
condition.
Risks and uncertainties that may
affect the Company's business or future financial results include, among others, risks associated with domestic and
international economic activity, weather, public health and other factors affecting consumer spending (including negative
changes to consumer confidence and other recessionary pressures), higher energy and security costs, the successful
implementation of the Company's growth strategy (including our ability to finance our expansion plans), the mix and
pricing of goods sold, the effectiveness and profitability of new concepts, the market price of key raw materials (such as
wool and cotton) and other production inputs (such as labor costs), seasonality, merchandise trends and changing consumer
preferences, the effectiveness of our marketing programs (including compliance with relevant legal requirements), the
availability of suitable lease sites for new stores, doing business on an international basis, the ability to source product
from the Company's global supplier base, legal and regulatory matters and other competitive factors.
