Forward-Looking Statements

Some of the information contained on this Website may express or imply plans, objectives, financial projections, future operations or future economic performance. These, and similar statements, are forward-looking statements concerning matters that involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual performance to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these statements.

The words “believe,” “anticipate,” “project,” “plan,” “expect,” “estimate,” “objective,” “forecast,” “goal,” “intend,” “will likely result,” “will continue” and similar expressions generally identify forward-looking statements. We believe the assumptions underlying these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and  therefore, actual results may differ materially from those projected or implied in the forward-looking statements. The factors that may result in actual results differing from such forward-looking information include, but are not limited to:

  • our ability to maintain adequate liquidity through our cash resources and credit facilities;
  • our ability to comply with the terms of our credit facilities (or obtain waivers for non-compliance);
  • transportation and distribution delays or interruptions;
  • the impact of transportation costs from the "driver hours of service" regulations adapted by the Federal Motor Carriers Safety Administrator;
  • our ability to negotiate effectively the cost and purchase of merchandise;
  • inventory risks due to shifts in market demand;
  • changes in product mix;
  • interruptions in suppliers' businesses;
  • costs and potential problems and interruptions associated with implementation of new or upgraded systems and technology;
  • fuel price and interest rate fluctuations;
  • a deterioration in general economic conditions caused by acts of war or terrorism;
  • temporary changes in demand due to weather patterns;
  • seasonality of the Company's business;
  • delays associated with building, opening and operating new stores;
  • delays associated with building, opening, expanding and converting new or existing distribution centers;
  • the impact of the SEC inquiry related to the restatement of certain of our financial statements; and
  • other factors described from time to time in our filings with the SEC and in press releases and other communications.
You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date when made or otherwise expressly noted. Except as may be required by law, we disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events, new information or future circumstances. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we may make on related subjects in our documents filed with the SEC, in press releases or in other communications.
