CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The materials we have filed or will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the “SEC,” contain, or will contain, certain forward-looking statements regarding business strategies, market potential, future financial performance and other matters. Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts, and can generally be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “believe,” “will,” “expect,” “project,” “estimate,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “continue” or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements inherently involve many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in these statements. Where, in any forward-looking statement, we express an expectation or belief as to future results or events, such expectation or belief is based on the current plans and expectations of our management and expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the expectation or belief will result or be achieved or accomplished. The following include some but not all of the factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated:

our ability to migrate our production and manufacturing operations to lower-cost centers around the world;
the highly competitive and evolving nature of the industry in which we compete;
our ability to effectively manage our inventory and reduce inventory reserves;
any failure by us to successfully streamline our operations;
retailer consolidation and other changes in the apparel essentials industry;
our ability to keep pace with changing consumer preferences in intimate apparel;
any loss of or reduction in sales to any of our top customers;
financial difficulties experienced by any of our top customers;
risks associated with our foreign operations or foreign supply sources, such as disruption of markets, changes in import and export laws, currency restrictions and currency exchange rate fluctuations;
the impact of economic and business conditions and industry trends in the countries in which we operate on our supply chain;
any failure by us to protect against dramatic changes in the volatile market price of cotton, the primary material used in the manufacture of our products;
costs and adverse publicity arising from violations of labor and environmental laws by us or any of our third-party manufacturers;
our ability to attract and retain key personnel;
our substantial debt and debt service requirements which restrict our operating and financial flexibility, and impose significant interest and financing costs;
rapid technological changes;
future financial performance, including availability, terms and deployment of capital; and

The foregoing factors and others are described in greater length in our materials filed with the SEC. These forward-looking statements and such risks, uncertainties and other factors speak only as of the date they are made. We expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to disseminate any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained in any materials we have filed or will file with the SEC, to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any other change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based other than required by law.
