conditions and the potential inability to raise additional capital if
required; the risk that the Company will be unsuccessful in gauging
fashion trends and changing customer preferences; the risk that changes
in general economic conditions, consumer confidence, or consumer

Company’s ability to respond to the business environment and fashion
trends; continued acceptance of the Company’s brands in the marketplace;
and other risks. The Company discusses certain of these factors more
fully in its additional filings with the SEC, including its last annual
