Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are forward-looking statements. Forward-
looking statements typically use words such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “should,” “intend,” “plan,” “will,”
“expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “positioned,” “strategy,” and similar expressions. These are based on assumptions
and assessments made by our management in light of experience and perception of historical trends, current
conditions, expected future developments and other factors that we believe to be appropriate. These forward-
looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including without limitation: credit market
conditions; the impact of recessionary conditions; competition; product demand; the ability to hire and retain
qualified employees; consumer debt levels; inflation; weather; raw material costs of our suppliers; energy prices;
war and the prospect of war, including terrorist activity; construction delays; access to available and feasible
financing; and changes in laws or regulations. Certain of these risks are discussed in more detail in the “Risk
Factors” section contained in Item IA under Part I of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August
28, 2010, and these Risk Factors should be read carefully. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of
future performance and actual results; developments and business decisions may differ from those contemplated
by such forward-looking statements, and events described above and in the “Risk Factors” could materially and
adversely affect our business. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made. Except as required by
applicable law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result
of new information, future events or otherwise. Actual results may materially differ from anticipated results.
