            This report contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Forward-looking statements are statements other than historical information or
statements of current condition and relate to matters such as future financial
performance, future operational performance, the anticipated impact of specific
items on future earnings, and our plans, objectives and expectations.
Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from those
projected. Forward-looking statements should be considered in conjunction with
the cautionary statements contained in the "Risk Factors" section and elsewhere
in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January
28, 2007, in the Company's other filings with the SEC, and in material
incorporated therein by reference. Forward-looking statements should not be
regarded as representations by the Company that its objectives or plans will be
achieved or that any of its operating expectations or financial forecasts will
be realized. The Company assumes no obligation to update or revise any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise.
