Possibility of another lockdown may have an adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial condition.




  •  
  •  
  • Inability to anticipate, respond to and meet tastes, preferences or consistent quality requirements of customers or their inability to accurately predict and successfully adapt to changes in market demand or customer preferences.
