The above statements regarding future periods which are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, factors related to (i) the sensitivity of the swimming pool business to weather conditions; (ii) the intense competition and low barriers to entry in the swimming pool supply industry; (iii) the sensitivity of the swimming pool supply business to general economic conditions; (iv) the Company’s ability to identify appropriate acquisition candidates, complete acquisitions on satisfactory terms and successfully integrate acquired businesses; (v) the Company’s ability to obtain financing on satisfactory terms; (vi) the risk of fire, safety and casualty losses and related liabilities claims inherent in the storage and repackaging of chemicals sold by the Company; (vii) the Company’s ability to remain in compliance with the numerous environmental, health and safety requirements to which it is subject; and (viii) the other factors discussed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such factors could affect the Company’s actual results and could cause such results to differ materially from the Company”s expectations described above.
