These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could affect the results of the Company or the apparel industry generally and could cause the Company’s expected results to differ materially from those expressed in this Current Report on Form 8-K. These risks, uncertainties and assumptions include, among other things:

In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this Current Report on Form 8-K may not occur and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.
