Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On October 28, 2008, Rocky Brands, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press
release entitled "Rocky Brands, Inc. Announces Third Quarter Fiscal 2008
Results" regarding its consolidated financial results for the quarter ended
September 30, 2008. A copy of the Company's press release is furnished as
Exhibit 99 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information in this Form 8-K and accompanying press release is being
furnished under Item 2.02 and shall not be deemed to be "filed" for the purposes
of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), or
otherwise subject to the liabilities of such section, nor shall such information
be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of
1933 or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific
reference in such a filing.
The information contained or incorporated by reference in this Form 8-K
contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act,
which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. Those
statements include, but may not be limited to, all statements regarding intent,
beliefs, expectations, projections, forecasts, and plans of the Company and its
management, and include statements in the accompanying press release regarding
improved profitability (paragraph 3) and our continued conservative manner of
operating (paragraph 10). These forward-looking statements involve numerous
risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, the various risks
inherent in the Company's business as set forth in periodic reports filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company's annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 (filed March 6, 2008), the
Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2008
(filed May 1, 2008), and the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended June 30, 2008 (filed August 6, 2008). One or more of these factors
have affected historical results, and could in the future affect the Company's
businesses and financial results in future periods and could cause actual
results to differ materially from plans and projections. Therefore there can be
no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by
reference in this Form 8-K will prove to be accurate. In light of the
significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included or
incorporated by reference herein, the Company, or any other person should not
regard the inclusion of such information as a representation that the objectives
and plans of the Company will be achieved. All forward-looking statements
contained or incorporated by reference in this Form 8-K are based on information
presently available to the management of the Company. The Company assumes no
obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
