Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for a complete presentation of the financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included in the accompanying financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2011. </div> <div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><b>Revenue Recognition</b> </div> <div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Revenue is recognized on the sale of products manufactured or sourced by the Company when the related goods have been shipped, legal title has passed to the customer and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue generated through licensees and distributors involving products bearing the Company’s trademarks is recognized as earned according to stated contractual terms upon either the purchase or shipment of branded products by licensees and distributors. </div> <div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The Company records provisions against gross revenue for estimated returns and cash discounts in the period when the related revenue is recorded.

Both of these factors can cause significant differences in revenue, earnings and cash flows from quarter to quarter; however, the differences have followed a consistent pattern in previous years. </div> <div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><b>Reclassifications</b> </div> <div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Certain prior period amounts on the consolidated condensed financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

In accordance with ASC 820, these assets and liabilities fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The prices for the financial instruments are determined using prices for recently-traded financial instruments with similar underlying terms as well as directly or indirectly observable inputs.

The Company utilizes foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage the volatility associated with U.S. dollar inventory purchases made by non-U.S. wholesale operations in the normal course of business. At September 10, 2011 and September 11, 2010, foreign exchange contracts with a notional value of $69,413 and $75,955, respectively, were outstanding to purchase U.S. dollars with maturities ranging up to 308 days.

Hedge ineffectiveness was not material to the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements for the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 10, 2011 and September 11, 2010. If, in the future, the foreign exchange contracts are determined to be ineffective hedges or terminated before their contractual termination dates, the Company would be required to reclassify into earnings all or a portion of the unrealized amounts related to the cash flow hedges that are currently included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity. </div> <div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">For the 12 weeks ended September 10, 2011 and September 11, 2010, the Company recognized a net loss of $469 and a net gain of $560, respectively, in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to the effective portion of its foreign exchange contracts. For the 12 weeks ended September 10, 2011 and September 11, 2010, the Company reclassified gains of $581 and $33, respectively, from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into cost of goods sold related to the effective portion of its foreign exchange contracts designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges.

ASU 2010-28 modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists, an entity must consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating impairment may exist. ASU 2010-28 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning December 15, 2010 (the first quarter of fiscal 2011 for the Company). The adoption of this ASU did not have and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s goodwill impairment evaluation as the Company does not currently have reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. </div> <div align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, <i>Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations</i>.

This ASU also expands the disclosure requirements regarding supplemental pro forma adjustments to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. ASU 2010-29 is effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010 (the first quarter of fiscal 2011 for the Company).

The ASU sets forth common U.S. GAAP and IFRS requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements, including a consistent meaning of the term “fair value.” The amendments in the ASU are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 (the first quarter of fiscal 2012 for the Company).

In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The amendments to the Codification in the ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income.
