Basis of Presentation

1. Basis of Presentation:  The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial reporting and the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP.  We believe the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal, recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations as of the dates and for the periods presented.  Results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for our full fiscal year.  The accounting policies applied during the interim periods presented are consistent with the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2010.

Unless indicated otherwise, all references to assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in this report reflect continuing operations and exclude any amounts related to the discontinued operations of our former Oxford Apparel operating group, as discussed in Note 7 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report and Note 15 of our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2010.

In May 2011, the FASB issued an update to their authoritative guidance regarding fair value measurements and related disclosures. Additional disclosure requirements in the update include: (1) for Level 3 fair value measurements, quantitative information about unobservable inputs used, a description of the valuation processes used, and a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of the measurements to changes in the unobservable inputs; (2) for the use of a nonfinancial asset that is different from the asset’s highest and best use, the reason for the difference; (3) for financial instruments not measured at fair value but for which disclosure of fair value is required, the fair value hierarchy level in which the fair value measurements were determined; and (4) the disclosure of all transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. This guidance will be effective in our first quarter of fiscal 2012 and will be applied on a prospective basis with any changes in measurements recognized in earnings in the period of adoption. We are currently assessing the impact of adopting the amendments to authoritative guidance regarding fair value measurements and related disclosures, but we do not anticipate a material impact on our financial statements upon adoption.

In June 2011, the FASB issued an update to their accounting guidance regarding other comprehensive income which requires that all non-owner changes in shareholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements of income and comprehensive income. The guidance provided by this update becomes effective in our first quarter of fiscal 2012, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of the new guidance will not affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, but does change certain disclosure requirements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued an update to their accounting guidance regarding goodwill impairment testing. The amendment is intended to reduce the complexity of testing by allowing companies to assess qualitative factors to determine the likelihood of goodwill impairment and whether it is necessary to perform the two-step impairment test, as currently required. The guidance provided by this update becomes effective in our first quarter of fiscal 2012, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of adopting the amendments to goodwill impairment testing, but we do not anticipate a material impact on our financial statements upon adoption.
