MANAGEMENT REPORT | 31 > consequently, will no longer comply with the obligation to make available to the public an information memorandum in connection with transactions involving significant mergers, spin-offs, increases in capital through contributions in kind, acquisitions and disposals. Our future operating results and financial condition may be affected by various factors, including those set forth below. 8. RISK FACTORS Risks Relating to Our Industry and General Economic Conditions a) If current economic conditions deteriorate, demand for our products will be adversely impacted, access to credit will be reduced and our customers and others with which we do business will suffer financial hardship, all of which could reduce sales and in turn adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows Our operations and performance depend significantly on worldwide economic conditions. Uncertainty about global economic conditions poses a risk to our business because consumers and businesses may postpone spending in response to tighter credit markets, unemployment, negative financial news and/or declines in income or asset values, which could have a material adverse effect on demand for our products and services. Discretionary spending is affected by many factors, including general business conditions, inflation, interest rates, consumer debt levels, unemployment rates, availability of consumer credit, conditions in the real estate and mortgage markets, currency exchange rates and other matters that influence consumer confidence. Many of these factors are outside our control. Purchases of discretionary items could decline during periods in which disposable income is lower or prices have increased in response to rising costs or in periods of actual or perceived unfavorable economic conditions. If this occurs or if unfavorable economic conditions continue to challenge the consumer environment, our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be materially adversely affected. In the event of renewed financial turmoil affecting the banking system and financial markets, additional consolidation of the financial services industry or significant failure of financial services institutions, there could be a new or incremental tightening of the credit markets, decreased liquidity and extreme volatility in fixed income, credit, currency and equity markets. In addition, the credit crisis could continue to have material adverse effects on our business, including the inability of customers of our wholesale distribution business to obtain credit to finance purchases of our products, restructurings, bankruptcies, liquidations and other unfavorable events for our consumers, customers, vendors, suppliers, logistics providers, other service providers and the financial institutions that are counterparties to our credit facilities and other derivative transactions. The likelihood that such third parties will be unable to overcome such unfavorable financial difficulties may increase. If the third parties on which we rely for goods and services or our wholesale customers are unable to overcome financial difficulties resulting from the deterioration of worldwide economic conditions or if the counterparties to our credit facilities or our derivative transactions do not perform their obligations as intended, our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.

8. RISK FACTORS<br />
Risks Relating to Our Industry and General Economic Conditions<br />
a) If current economic conditions deteriorate, demand for our products will be adversely<br />
impacted, access to credit will be reduced and our customers and others with which<br />
we do business will suffer financial hardship, all of which could reduce sales and in turn<br />
adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows<br />
Our operations and performance depend significantly on worldwide economic<br />
conditions. Uncertainty about global economic conditions poses a risk to our business<br />
because consumers and businesses may postpone spending in response to tighter<br />
credit markets, unemployment, negative financial news and/or declines in income or<br />
asset values, which could have a material adverse effect on demand for our products<br />
and services. Discretionary spending is affected by many factors, including general<br />
business conditions, inflation, interest rates, consumer debt levels, unemployment rates,<br />
availability of consumer credit, conditions in the real estate and mortgage markets,<br />
currency exchange rates and other matters that influence consumer confidence. Many<br />
of these factors are outside our control. Purchases of discretionary items could decline<br />
during periods in which disposable income is lower or prices have increased in response<br />

this occurs or if unfavorable economic conditions continue to challenge the consumer<br />

could be materially adversely affected.<br />

financial services institutions, there could be a new or incremental tightening of the credit<br />
