Item 7. Exhibits.
Exhibit 99. Report to Employees dated October 24, 2000.
Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure
Attached hereto as Exhibit 99 is a report to Employees dated
October 24, 2000 (the "Report"), which is incorporated by
reference herein and furnished pursuant to this Item 9 and
shall not be deemed to be filed.
Certain of the statements contained in the Report are forward-looking
statements. Words such as "expects", "believes", "estimates", "anticipates", "in
the process", "could", "target" and "objective" indicate the presence of
forward-looking statements. There can be no assurance that future developments
will be in accordance with management's expectations or that the effect of
future developments on the Company will be those anticipated by management.
Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
estimates reflected in such forward-looking statements are the following:
- competitive pressures on sales and pricing, including those from other
wholesale distributors and those from retailers in competition with the
Company's customers;
- the Company's ability to achieve projected cost savings from its
warehouse modernization program and ongoing cost reduction efforts;
- changes in cost of goods and the effect of differential terms and
conditions available the larger competitors of the Company;
- uncertainties associated with any acquisition the Company may seek to
implement;
- changes in general economic conditions, including interest rates; and
- impact of year 2000 on the Company's operations, including issues
relating to the compliance or lack thereof by third-party suppliers.
