FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS:
Certain
statements in this filing contain "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect
to
our financial condition, results of operation and business. These statements
relate to analyses and other information, which are based on forecasts of future
results and estimates of amounts not yet determinable. These statements also
relate to our future prospects, developments and business strategies. These
forward-looking statements are identified by their use of terms and phrases
such
as ‘‘anticipate,’’ ‘‘believe,’’ ‘‘could,’’ ‘‘estimate,’’ ‘‘expect,’’ ‘‘intend,’’
‘‘may,’’ ‘‘plan,’’ ‘‘predict,’’ ‘‘project,’’ ‘‘will’’ and similar terms and
phrases, including references to assumptions. These forward-looking statements
involve risks and uncertainties, including current trend information,
projections for deliveries, backlog and other trend estimates that may cause
our
actual future activities and results of operations to be materially different
from those suggested or described in this financial discussion and analysis
by
management. These risks include: our ability to finance and successfully operate
our retail businesses; our ability to accurately predict demand for our
products; our ability to receive timely deliveries from vendors; our ability
to
raise cash to meet seasonal demands; our dependence on the retail and aerospace
industries; our ability to maintain customer satisfaction and deliver products
of quality; our ability to properly assess our competition; our ability to
improve our operations to profitability status; our ability to liquidate
non-core assets to meet cash needs; our ability to attract and retain highly
qualified executive management; our ability to achieve and execute internal
business plans; weather conditions in Europe during peak business season and
on
weekends; labor disputes; competition; worldwide political instability and
economic growth; military conflicts, including terrorist activities; infectious
diseases; and the impact of any economic downturns and inflation.
If
one or
more of these and other risks or uncertainties materializes, or if underlying
assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those
expected, estimated or projected. Given these uncertainties, users of the
information included in this report, including investors and prospective
investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking
statements. We do not intend to update the forward-looking statements included
in this filing, even if new information, future events or other circumstances
have made them incorrect or misleading.
