The Company remains concerned about the challenging economic conditions which continue to impact consumer demand for apparel. In addition, global yarn shortages and limited capacities in cargo freight have created further short-term challenges in the apparel marketplace. In determining its expectations for the upcoming year, the Company believes it has taken into consideration these heightened risk factors.
Mr. Humphreys added, “In fiscal year 2010 we were successful in growing market share and improving our bottom line, despite less than ideal conditions. While there is still uncertainty and risk regarding the recovery of the general economy, we believe we are well positioned for continued sales growth and earnings expansion.”
