Words such as &quot;expect,&quot; &quot;anticipate,&quot; &quot;believe,&quot; &quot;estimate,&quot; &quot;intend,&quot; &quot;plan,&quot; &quot;project,&quot; and similar expressions also identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding earnings per share for fiscal year 2010<B>.</P>
</B>
<P>Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause the company's actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, without limitation, the following: the risk that the company will be unsuccessful in gauging fashion trends and changing consumer preferences; the risk that changes in general economic conditions or consumer spending patterns will have a negative impact on the company's financial performance or strategies; the highly competitive nature of the company's business in the United States and internationally and its dependence on consumer spending patterns, which are influenced by numerous other factors; the risk that comparable store sales and margins will experience fluctuations; the risk that the company will be unsuccessful in implementing its operating initiatives; the risk that changes to the company's information technology systems may disrupt its operations; the risk tha
t trade matters or events causing disruptions in product shipments from China and other foreign countries may disrupt the company's supply chain or operations; the risk that acts or omissions by the company's third party vendors, including a failure to comply with the company's code of vendor conduct, could have a negative impact on the company's reputation or operations; the risk that the company does not repurchase some or all of the shares it anticipates purchasing pursuant to its repurchase program; and the risk that the company will not be successful in defending various proceedings, lawsuits, disputes, claims, and audits; any of which could impact net sales, expenses, and/or planned strategies. Additional information regarding factors that could cause results to differ can be found in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2010.
