Actual results could vary materially from the expectations reflected in these statements. A number of factors could cause differences.

Other factors that could result in differences from expectations reflected in the Company's forward-looking statements in this release and elsewhere include weakness in consumer demand for products sold by the Company, fashion trends that affect the sales or product margins of the Company's retail product offerings, changes in buying patterns by significant wholesale customers, disruptions in product supply or distribution,

unfavorable trends in foreign exchange rates and other factors affecting the cost of products, variations from expected pension-related charges caused by conditions in the financial markets, and the outcome of litigation and environmental matters involving the Company.
