Part IV(3) Explanation
The registrant hereby incorporates by reference its Current Report under Item 4.02 of Form 8-K furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2012. This notification of late filing contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements are based on the registrant’s current plans, expectations, estimates, and projections about the specialty retail industry and management’s beliefs about the registrant’s future performance. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates” or variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and which may cause the registrant’s actual results and performance to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in any such forward-looking statements. Some of these risks and uncertainties are discussed in the registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 under “Risk Factors.” Unless required by law, the registrant undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements. However, readers should carefully review the statements set forth in the reports, which the registrant files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, particularly its Annual Report on Form 10-K, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and its Current Reports on Form 8-K.
