Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995" of A&F's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended
November 1, 2008, in some cases have affected and in the future could affect
the Company's financial performance and could cause actual results for the
2009 Fiscal year and beyond to differ materially from those expressed or
implied in any of the forward-looking statements included in this Press
