Our newest brands, The Game®Game® and Kudzu®,Kudzu® have been registered trademarks since 1989 and 1995, respectively. Associated with The Game®Game®, we also have registered trademarks for the Three-Bar-Design and the Circle Design, which are recognized collegiate designs.

We regard ourOur trademarks asare valuable assets and believe that they have value indifferentiate the marketing of our products. We vigorously protect our trademarks and other intellectual property rights against infringement.
We have the rightdistribution rights to use other trademarks underthrough license agreements. Junkfood licenses several hundred trademarks of different types, including certain rock bands, sports teams, and characters. The Soffe and To The Game businessesbusiness units are official licensees for most major colleges and universities. Junkfood has the right to distribute trademarked apparel across athletics (including NFL), entertainment, foods, and other pop culture categories. We also have license agreements for motorsports properties (including NASCAR), Churchill Downs, golf and other various resort properties. In addition, in fiscal year 2010 we became the exclusive licensee for the Realtree Outfitters® and Realtree Girl® outdoor lifestyle apparel brands. Our license agreements are typically non-exclusive in nature and have terms that range from one to three years. In addition, in fiscal year 2010 we became the exclusive licensee for most apparel categories within the Realtree Outfitters® and Realtree Girl® outdoor lifestyle apparel brands. We expanded our lifestyle brand apparel line in fiscal year 2011 by becoming the exclusive licensee for Salt Life® apparel, headwear, decals, bags and other accessories. While historically we have been able to renew our license agreements, the loss of certain license agreements could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Although we are not dependent on any single license, we believe our license agreements in the aggregatecollectively are of significant value to our Retail-Readybranded segment.
MARKETING
Our sales and marketing is performed byconsists of both employed sales personnel and independent sales representatives located throughout the country. In the Retail-Readybranded segment, our sales force services theteams service specialty and boutique, upscale and traditional department stores, sporting goods, outdoor, military, and college bookstore customer bases. We also have a growing international presence with our JunkfoodJunk Food® products in Canada, Europe, Asia and Australia. In the Activewearbasics segment, our sales personnel sell our knit apparel products primarily direct to large and small screen printers and into the promotional products markets. Our private label products are sold primarily to major branded sportswear companies.
During fiscal year 2010,2011, we servedshipped to approximately 16,000 customers.15,000 customers, many of whom have numerous retail doors. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of our sales in fiscal years 2011, 2010 2009 or 20082009, and our strategy is to not become dependent on any single customer. Substantially all of our sales are domestic with revenueRevenues attributable to foreign countries representingrepresented approximately 3%1% of our total consolidated net sales in each of fiscal years 2011, 2010 2009 and 2008.2009.
The majority of our apparel products are produced based on forecasts to permit quick shipments to our customers. Private label programs are generally made only to order or based on our customer’sa customer's forecast. Our headwear products are primarily sourced based on customer orders; however, we carry certain styles in inventory to support quick-turn shipments. We aggressively explore new ways to leverage our strengths and efficiencies to meet the quick turn needs of our customers.
We have distribution facilities strategically located throughout the United States that carry in-stock inventory for shipment to our customers. Most of ourcustomers, with most shipments are made via third party carriers. In order to better serve our customers, we allow products to be ordered by the piece, by the dozen, or in full case quantities. Because a significant portion of our business consists of at-once EDI and direct catalog orders, we believe that backlog order levels do not give a general indication of future sales.
COMPETITION
We have numerous competitors with respect to the sale of apparel and headwear products in domestic and international markets. Many of these competitors are larger and havemarkets, with many having greater financial resources than we do.
We believe that competition within our branded linessegment is based primarily upon design, brand recognition, and consumer preference. We focus on sustaining the strong reputation of our brands by adapting our product offerings to changes in fashion trends and consumer preferences. We keep our merchandise fresh with unique artwork and new designs.designs, and support the integrated lifestyle statement through effective consumer marketing. We believe that our favorable competitive aspects includeposition includes strong consumer recognition and brand loyalty, to our brands, the high quality of our products, and our flexibility and process control, which help lead to product consistency. Our ability to remain competitive in the areas of quality, price, design, marketing, product development, manufacturing, technology and distribution will, in large part, determine our future success.
Competition in our undecorated catalogbasics business is generally based upon price, service, delivery time and quality, with the relative importance of each factor depending upon the needs of the particular customers and the specific product offering. As this business is highly price competitive, based upon price,competitor actions by our competitors can greatly influence pricing and demand for

our products. While price is still important in the private label market, quality and service are more important factors for customer choice. Our ability to consistently service the needs of our private label customers will impactgreatly impacts the future business with these customers.
SEASONALITY
Although our various product lines are sold on a year-round basis, the demand for specific products or styles reflects some seasonality, with sales in our fourth fiscal quarter generally being the highest and sales in our second fiscal quarter generally being the lowest. The percentage of net sales by quarter for the year ended July 3, 20102, 2011 was 23%, 22%, 25%26% and 30%29% for the first, second, third, and fourth fiscal quarters, respectively. Consumer demand for apparel is largely influenced by the overall U.S.

5


economy and consumer spending in general. Therefore, the distribution of sales by quarter in fiscal year 20102011 may not be indicative of the distribution in future years.
MANUFACTURING
We have a vertically integrated manufacturing platform that supports both our branded and basics segment. Our manufacturing operations begin with the purchase of yarn and other raw materials from third-party suppliers. We manufacture fabrics in either our company-owned plantdomestic textile facility located in Maiden, North Carolina andor in Ceiba Textiles, aour leased textile facility located near San Pedro Sula, Honduras. DuringIn addition, we may purchase fabric from third party contractors to supplement our internal production. The manufacturing process continues at one of our seven apparel manufacturing facilities where the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009, we completed the move of Soffe textile production from our plantproducts are ultimately sewn into finished garments. These facilities are either company-owned and operated, or leased and operated by us. These facilities are located domestically (two in Fayetteville, North Carolina to our MaidenCarolina) and Ceiba Textiles facilities. We believe this move will create a more efficientinternationally (two in Honduras, one in El Salvador and cost-effective supply chain.two in Mexico). Our garments are sewn in our company-owned plants in Fayetteville, North Carolinamay also be embellished and Rowland, North Carolina,prepared for retail (with any combination of services, including ticketing, hang tags, and are cut and sewn in a leased facility in La Paz, El Salvador, in two leased facilities in Campeche, Mexico and in two leased facilities in San Pedro Sula, Honduras.hangers). In fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009 approximately 69%, 74% and 2008 approximately 74%, 76% and 68%, respectively, of our manufactured products were sewn in company-operated locations. The remaining products were sewn by outside contractors located primarily in the Caribbean basin.
At the 2011, 2010 2009 and 20082009 fiscal year-ends, our long-lived assets in Honduras, El Salvador and Mexico collectively comprised approximately 49%45%, 51%49% and 50%51%, respectively, of our total net property, plant and equipment, with our long-lived assets in Honduras comprising 43%37%, 45%43% and 45%, respectively. For a description of risks associated with our operations located in Honduras, El Salvador and Mexico,outside the United States, see Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Along with our internal manufacturing, we sourcepurchase fabric, undecorated products and full-package products throughfrom independent sources throughout the world. In fiscal years 2011, 2010 2009 and 2008,2009, we sourced approximately 25%23%, 11%25% and 12%11%, respectively, of our products from third parties. We expanded our product line into headwear in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 with the acquisition of To The Game® and Kudzu®. OurGame. Because our headwear merchandise is all sourced from third parties, drivingthe addition of this product line drove the increase in sourced products in fiscal year 2010.
RAW MATERIALS
We have a supply agreement with Parkdale America, LLC (“Parkdale”) to supply our yarn requirements until December 31, 2011. Under the supply agreement, we purchase from Parkdale all of our yarn requirements for use in our manufacturing operations, excluding yarns that Parkdale does not manufacture or cannot manufacture due to temporary capacity constraints. The purchase price of yarn is based upon the cost of cotton plus a fixed conversion cost.We are currently in negotiations to secure a new agreement to supply our yarn requirements. We do not believe we will lose any competitive position we currently have with a new agreement.If Parkdale’s operations are disrupted and it is not able to provide us with our yarn requirements, we may need to obtain yarn from alternative sources. Although alternative sources are presently available, we may not be able to enter into short-term arrangements with substitute suppliers on terms as favorable as our current terms with Parkdale.Because there can be no assurance that we would be able to pass along our higher cost of yarn to our customers, this could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
We also purchase specialized fabrics that we currently do not have the capacity or capability to produce and may purchase other fabrics when it is cost-effective to do so. TheseWhile these fabrics have typically beenare available from various suppliers; however withsuppliers, there are times when certain yarns currentlybecome limited in limited supply,quantity, causing some fabrics mayto be difficult to source which couldsource. This can result in higher prices or our inability to provide products to our customers which could negatively impact our results of operations. Our dyes and chemicals are also purchased from several suppliers. While historically we have not had difficulty obtaining sufficient quantities of dyes and chemicals for our manufacturing, the availability of certain products has changed, requiringcan change, which could require us to adjust dye and chemical formulations. In certain instances, these adjustments have increasedcan increase our manufacturing costs. Future changes in the availability of dyes and chemicals could cause us to make additional adjustments in formulations, which could result in higher manufacturing costs, negatively impacting our results of operations.

Most of our plants are required to possess one or more permits, and we believe that we are currently in compliance with the requirements of these permits.
The environmental rules applicable to our business are becoming increasingly stringent. We incur capital and other expenditures annually to achieve compliance with environmental standards, and currently do not expect the amount of expenditures required to comply with the environmental laws will have a material adverse effect on our operations, financial condition or liquidity. There can be no assurance, however, that future changes in federal, state, or local regulations, interpretations of existing regulations or the discovery of currently unknown problems or conditions will not require substantial additional expenditures. Similarly, while we are not currently aware of any violations, the extent of our liability, if any, for past failures to comply with laws, regulations and permits applicable to our operations cannot be determined and could have a material adverse effect on our operations, financial condition or liquidity.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS
We operate in a rapidly-changing,rapidly changing, highly competitive business environment that involves substantial risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risks identified below. The following factors, as well as factors described elsewhere in this report or in our other filings with the SEC, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or operating results, should be carefully considered in evaluating our Company and the forward-looking statements contained in this report or future reports. The risks described below are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently do not view as material, may become material, and may impair our business operations. Any of these risks could cause, or contribute to causing, our actual results to differ materially from expectations.
Current economic conditions may adversely impact demand for our products.The apparel industry is cyclical and dependent upon the overall level of discretionary consumer spending which changes as regional, domestic and international economic conditions change. These economic conditions include, but are not limited to, employment levels, energy costs, interest rates, tax rates, personal debt levels, and uncertainty about the future with many of these factors outside of our control. Deterioration in general economic conditions that creates uncertainty or alters discretionary consumer spending habits could reduce our sales. Because we match our manufacturing production to demand, weakening sales may require us to reduce output, thereby increasing per unit costs and lowering our gross margins, causing a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Deterioration of the financial condition of our customers could adversely affect our financial position and results of operations.We extend credit to our customers, generally without requiring collateral. Our extension of credit involves considerable judgment and is based on an evaluation of each customer’s financial condition and payment history. We monitor our credit risk exposure by periodically obtaining credit reports and updated financials on our customers. Further deterioration in the economy, continued decline in consumer purchases of apparel, or further disruption in the ability of our customers to access liquidity could have an adverse effect on the financial condition of our customers. We have seen a heightened number of bankruptcies in our customers, especially retailers, and we believe this trend may continue. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for potential credit losses based upon current conditions, our historical trends and other available information. However, the inability to collect on sales to significant customers or a group of customers could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
The apparel industry is highly competitive, and we face significant competitive threats to our business.The market for athletic and activewear apparel and headwear is highly competitive and includes new competitors as well as increased competition from established companies, some of which are larger, more diversified, and have greater financial resources than we do. Many of our competitors have significant competitive advantages, including larger sales forces, better brand recognition among consumers, larger advertising budgets, and greater economies of scale. If we are unable to compete successfully with our competitors, our business and results of operations will be adversely affected.
We currently pay income taxes at lower than statutory rates, which could change in the future adversely affecting our financial position and results of operations.We are subject to income tax in the United States and in foreign jurisdictions in which we generate net operating revenues. We benefit from a lower overall effective income tax rate due to the majority of our manufacturing operations being located in foreign tax-free locations. Our U.S. legal entity contracts with our foreign subsidiaries to manufacture products on its behalf with the intercompany prices paid for the manufacturing services and manufactured products based on an arms-length standard and supported by an economic study. Because profits earned in the tax-free locations are considered permanently reinvested, no U.S. deferred tax liability is recorded. Therefore, our effective tax rate may be significantly below U.S. statutory rates. Changes in U.S. tax laws impacting how U.S. multinational corporations are taxed on foreign earnings could have a material adverse effect on our tax expense and cash flow.
We may be restricted in our ability to borrow under our credit agreement which could adversely affect our financial position and results of operations.Significant operating losses or significant uses of cash in our operations could cause us to default on our asset-based revolving credit facility. Our ability to borrow under the credit agreement depends on our accounts receivable and inventory levels. A significant deterioration in our accounts receivable or inventory levels could restrict our ability to borrow funds. In addition, our credit facility includes a financial covenant that if the amount of availability falls below $10 million, our Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (“FCCR”) (as defined in the credit agreement) for the proceeding 12 month period must not be less than 1.1 to 1.0 or an event of default occurs. An event of default under the credit agreement could result in an acceleration of our obligations under the agreement, in the foreclosure on any assets subject to liens in favor of the credit agreement’s lenders, and in our inability to borrow additional amounts under the credit agreement. While our availability at July 3, 2010, was $35.5 million and our FCCR for the preceding twelve months was 4.0x, a significant decline in our profitability could cause our FCCR to fall below 1.1x, thereby requiring us to maintain a minimum availability of $10 million. This could restrict our ability to borrow funds and adversely affect our financial position and results of operations.
We may need to raise additional capital to grow our business and if unable to do so, we will need to modify our growth strategy.While our existing credit facility should be adequate to support our existing business in the foreseeable future, the rate of our growth, especially through acquisitions, will depend on the availability of debt and equity capital. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to us or at all. If new sources of financing are required, but are insufficient or unavailable, we will be required to modify our growth and operating plans based on available funding, which could adversely affect our ability to grow our business.
We have expanded our business through acquisitions that could result in diversion of resources, an inability to integrate acquired operations and extra expenses.Our growth strategy involves acquiring businesses that complement of our existing business. The negotiation of potential acquisitions and integration of acquired businesses could divert our management’s attention from our existing businesses which could negatively impact the results of operations. In addition, if the integration of an acquired business is not successful or takes significantly longer than expected, or if we are unable to realize the expected benefits from an acquired business, it could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
The price of our purchased yarn and other raw materials is prone to significant fluctuations and volatility.Yarn Cotton is the primary raw material used in the manufacture of our apparel products. The price of cotton fluctuates and is affected by weather, consumer demand, speculation on the commodities market, and other factors that are generally unpredictable and beyond our control. As described under the heading “Raw Materials”, the purchase price of yarn purchased from Parkdale is based upon the cost of cotton plus a fixed conversion cost. We set future cotton prices with

8


purchase commitments as a component of the purchase price of yarn in advance of the shipment of finished yarn from Parkdale. Prices are set according to prevailing prices, as reported by the New York Cotton Exchange, at the time we enter into the commitments. Thus, we are subject to the commodity risk of cotton prices and cotton price movements, which could result in unfavorable yarn pricing for us. For example, we estimate that a change of $0.01 per pound in cotton prices would affect our annual raw material costs by approximately $0.6$6.9 million at current levels of production. While changesThe ultimate effect of this change on our earnings cannot be quantified, as the effect of movements in cotton prices on industry selling prices are typically passed alonguncertain. Cotton prices surged upward during 2010 and early 2011, but have recently declined significantly from the high. The ultimate impact on selling prices from the decline is not yet known, but may require us to consumers over time, a dramatic increasereduce selling prices in the price of cottonresponse to competitive pricing pressure, which could adversely impact our results of operations in the short-term.We will be bringing in yarn with the highest cotton cost in our first quarter of fiscal year 2012, and expect the cotton cost to decline over the remaining quarters. As this yarn flows through our manufacturing process and the finished goods are sold, we expect the highest cost inventory will be in our cost of sales during our second and third quarters of fiscal year 2012, impacting gross margins most significantly in these quarters. In addition, if Parkdale’s operations are disrupted and it is not able to provide us with our yarn requirements, we may need to obtain yarn from alternative sources. We may not be able to enter into short-term arrangements with substitute suppliers on terms as favorable as our current terms with Parkdale, which could negatively affect our business.
Current economic conditions may adversely impact demand for our products. The apparel industry is cyclical and dependent upon the overall level of discretionary consumer spending which changes as regional, domestic and international economic conditions change. These economic conditions include, but are not limited to, employment levels, energy costs, interest rates, tax rates, inflation, personal debt levels, and uncertainty about the future with many of these factors outside of our control. Overall,

7


consumer purchases of discretionary items tend to decline during recessionary periods when disposable income is lower. As such, further deterioration in general economic conditions that creates uncertainty or alters discretionary consumer spending habits could reduce our sales. Because we match our manufacturing production to demand, weakening sales may require us to reduce output, thereby increasing per unit costs and lowering our gross margins, causing a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
Deterioration of the financial condition of our customers could adversely affect our financial position and results of operations. We extend credit to our customers, generally without requiring collateral. The extension of credit involves considerable judgment and is based on an evaluation of each customer’s financial condition and payment history. We monitor our credit risk exposure by periodically obtaining credit reports and updated financial statements on our customers. Further deterioration in the economy, continued decline in consumer purchases of apparel, or further disruption in the ability of our customers to access liquidity could have an adverse effect on the financial condition of our customers. During the past several years, various retailers and other customers have experienced significant difficulties, including restructurings, bankruptcies and liquidations. The inability of these retailers and other customers to overcome these difficulties may increase due to the current worldwide economic conditions. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for potential credit losses based upon current conditions, our historical trends and other available information. However, the inability to collect on sales to significant customers or a group of customers could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
The apparel industry is highly competitive, and we face significant competitive threats to our business. The market for athletic and activewear apparel and headwear is highly competitive and includes new competitors as well as increased competition from established companies, some of which are larger, more diversified, and may have greater financial resources than we do. Many of our competitors have competitive advantages, including larger sales forces, better brand recognition among consumers, larger advertising budgets, and greater economies of scale. If we are unable to compete successfully with our competitors, our business and results of operations will be adversely affected.
We currently pay income taxes at lower than statutory rates. We are subject to income tax in the United States and in foreign jurisdictions in which we generate net operating profits. We benefit from a lower overall effective income tax rate due to the majority of our manufacturing operations being located in foreign tax-free locations. Our U.S. legal entity contracts with our foreign subsidiaries to manufacture products on its behalf with the intercompany prices paid for the manufacturing services and manufactured products based on an arms-length standard and supported by an economic study. We have concluded that the profits earned in the tax-free locations will be considered permanently reinvested. Thus, no U.S. deferred tax liability is recorded on these profits, causing our effective tax rate to be significantly below U.S. statutory rates. Our effective tax rate could be adversely affected by changes in the mix of earnings between the U.S. and tax-free foreign jurisdictions. In addition, changes to U.S. tax laws impacting how U.S. multinational corporations are taxed on foreign earnings, a need or requirement for us to remit tax-free earnings back to the U.S., could also have a material adverse effect on our tax expense and cash flow.
We may be restricted in our ability to borrow under our revolving credit facility. Significant operating losses or significant uses of cash in our operations could cause us to default on our asset-based revolving credit facility. Our ability to borrow under the credit facility depends on our accounts receivable and inventory levels. A significant deterioration in our accounts receivable or inventory levels could restrict our ability to borrow funds. In addition, our credit facility includes a financial covenant that if the amount of availability falls below an amount equal to 12.5% of the lesser of the borrowing base or $145 million, our Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (“FCCR”) (as defined in our credit agreement) for the preceding 12 month period must not be less than 1.1 to 1.0. In addition, the credit facility includes customary conditions to funding, representations and warranties, covenants, and events of default. The covenants include, among other things, limitations on asset sales, consolidations, mergers, liens, indebtedness, loans, investments, guaranties, acquisitions, dividends, stock repurchases, and transactions with affiliates. An event of default under the credit facility could result in an acceleration of our obligations under the agreement, in the foreclosure on any assets subject to liens in favor of the credit facility’s lenders, and in our inability to borrow additional amounts under the credit facility. Although our availability at July 2, 2011, was $59.1 million and our FCCR for the preceding twelve months was 3.8x, a significant decline in our profitability could cause our FCCR to fall below 1.1x, thereby requiring us to maintain a minimum availability as defined in our credit agreement. This could restrict our ability to borrow funds and adversely affect our financial position and results of operations.
We may need to raise additional capital to grow our business through acquisitions. While our existing credit facility should be adequate to support our existing business in the foreseeable future, the rate of our growth, especially through acquisitions, will depend on the availability of debt and equity capital. We may not be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to us or at all. If new sources of financing are required, but are insufficient or unavailable, we may be required to modify our growth and operating plans based on available funding, which could adversely affect our ability to grow the business.
We have expanded our business through acquisitions that could result in diversion of resources, an inability to integrate acquired operations and extra expenses. Our growth strategy involves acquiring businesses that complement of our existing business. The negotiation of potential acquisitions and integration of acquired businesses could divert our management’s attention from our existing businesses which could negatively impact the results of operations. In addition, if the integration of an acquired business is not successful or takes significantly longer than expected, or if we are unable to realize the expected benefits from an

8


acquired business, it could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
The price of energy isand fuel costs are prone to significant fluctuations and volatility which could adversely affect our results of operations.Our manufacturing operations require high inputs of energy, and therefore changes in energy prices directly impact our gross profits. EnergyIn addition, we incur significant freight costs increased during fiscal year 2010to transport goods between the United States and remain volatile based onour offshore facilities, along with transportation expenses to ship products to our customers. The cost of energy and fuel fluctuate due to a number of factors outside our control, including general economicgovernment policy and regulation and weather conditions. We continue to focus on manufacturing methods that will reduce the amount of energy used in the production of our products to mitigate risks of fluctuations in the cost of energy. In addition, we enter into forward contracts to fix a portion of our expected natural gas requirements for delivery in the future in order to mitigate potential increases in costs. However, significant increases in energy and fuel prices may make us less competitive compared to others in the industry, which may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
Significant increases in the costs of freight and transportation could adversely affect our results of operations.We incur significant freight costs to transport our goods between the United States and our offshore facilities. In addition, we incur transportation expenses to ship our products to our customers. In recent months there has been a shortage of freight capacity which has caused freight costs to increase. In addition, volatility in fuel costs impacts the overall cost of transportation. Significant increases in the costs of freight and transportation could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, as there can be no assurance that we could pass these increased costs to our customers.
Our business operations rely on our information systems and any material disruption or slowdown of our systems could cause operational delays that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.We depend on information systems to manage our inventory, process transactions, respond to customer inquiries, purchase, sell and ship goods on a timely basis and maintain cost-effective operations. We have invested significant capital and expect future capital expenditures associated with the integration of our information technology systems across our businesses. This process involves the replacement and consolidation of technology platforms so our businesses are served by fewer platforms, resulting in operational efficiencies and reduced costs. Our inability to effectively convert our operations to the new systems could cause delays in product fulfillment and reduced efficiency in our operations. In addition, we may experience operational problems with our information systems as a result of system failures, viruses, security breaches, disasters or other causes. Any material disruption or slowdown of our information systems could cause operational delays that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
Our business could be harmed if we are unable to deliver our products to the market due to problems with our distribution network.We have company-owned and leased distribution facilities located throughout the United States. Any significant interruption in the operation of any of these facilities, whether within or outside of our control, may delay shipment of merchandise to our customers, potentially damaging our reputation and causing a loss of revenue. In addition, if we are unable to successfully coordinate the planning of inventory across these facilities and the distribution activities, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Failure of our operations to comply with environmental regulation could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.Our operations must meet extensive federal, state and local regulatory standards in the areas of safety, health and environmental pollution controls. There can be no assurance that interpretations of existing regulations, future changes in existing laws, or the enactment of new laws and regulations will not require substantial additional expenditures. Although we believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with existing regulatory requirements, the extent of our liability, if any, for the discovery of currently unknown problems or conditions, or past failures to comply with laws, regulations and permits applicable to our operations, cannot be determined and could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.
We are subject to periodic litigation in both domestic and international jurisdictions that may adversely affect our financial position and results of operations.From time to time we may be involved in legal actions regarding product liability, employment practices, trademark infringement, bankruptcies and other litigation. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation in both domestic and foreign jurisdictions, we cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of any such proceedings. Proceedings could cause us to incur costs and may require us to devote resources to defend against these claims

9


and could ultimately result in a loss against these claims, which could adversely affect our financial position and results of operations. For a description of current legal proceedings, see Part I, Item 3, Legal Proceedings.
Our success depends, in part, on our ability to predict or effectively react to changing consumer preferences and trends.The success of our businesses depends on our ability to anticipate and respond quickly to changing consumer demand and preferences in apparel and headwear. We believe that our brands are recognized by consumers across many demographics. The popularity, supply and demand for particular products can change significantly from year to year based on prevailing fashion trends and other factors and therefore our ability to adapt to fashion trends in designing our products is important to the success of our brands. If we are unable to quickly adapt to changes in consumer preferences in the design of our products, our results of operations could be adversely affected.
We rely on the strength of our trademarks and could incur significant costs to protect these trademarks.Our trademarks, includeincluding Soffe®, Junk Food®, The Game®, and The GameCotton Exchange® among others.others, are important to our marketing efforts and have substantial value. In addition, we have trademarked the Three-Bar-Designand the Circle Design, which are recognized collegiate designs. We aggressively protect these trademarks and have incurred legal costs in the past to establish and protect these trademarks, but these costs have not been significant. We may in the future be required to expend additional resources to protect these trademarks. The loss or limitation of the exclusive right to use our trademarks could adversely affect our sales and

9


results of operations.
A significant portion of our business relies upon license agreements and the loss of or failure to obtain license agreements could negatively impact our results of operations.We rely on our licensed products for a significant part of our sales. Although we are not dependent on any single license, we believe that our license agreements in the aggregate are of significant value to our business. The loss of or failure to obtain license agreements could adversely affect our sales and results of operations.
We may be subject to the impairment of acquired intangible assets which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.When we acquire a business, a portion of the purchase price of the acquisition may be allocated to goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets. The amount of the purchase price that is allocated to goodwill and other intangible assets is determined by the excess of the purchase price over the net identifiable assets acquired. At July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, and June 27, 2009, our goodwill and other intangible assets were approximately $25.4$24.2 million and $23.9$25.4 million, respectively. We conduct an annual review, and more frequent reviews if events or circumstances dictate, to determine whether goodwill is impaired. We also determine whether impairment indicators are present related to our identifiable intangible assets. If we determine that goodwill or intangible assets are impaired, we would be required to write down the value of these assets. Based upon the operating results and projections for Art Gun, during our second fiscal quarter we concluded that the goodwill and contingent consideration associated with the Art Gun acquisition were impaired. The change in contingent consideration (a $1.5 million favorable adjustment) and full impairment of the Art Gun goodwill (a $0.6 million impairment charge) resulted in a net favorable adjustment of $0.9 million, which was recorded in our second fiscal quarter and is included in the branded segment (See Note 2(m) to our Consolidated Financial Statements). We completed our annual reviewimpairment test of goodwill foron the first day of our third fiscal year ended July 3, 2010, and concluded that noquarter using actual results through the last day of the second fiscal quarter. Based on the valuation, there does not appear to be impairment charge was necessary.on the goodwill associated with Junkfood, the only remaining goodwill recorded on our financial statements. We have also concluded that there are no additional indicators of impairment related to our intangible assets. There can, however, be no assurance that we will not be required to take an impairment charge in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
Changes in the regulations and laws regarding e-commerce could limitreduce the growth and lower the profitability of our ability to grow, negatively impacting our results of operationsinternet sales.The e-commerce industry has undergone, and continues to undergo, rapid development and change. There have been continuing efforts to increase the legal and regulatory obligations and restrictions on companies conducting commerce through the internet, primarily in the areas of taxation, consumer privacy and protection of consumer personal information. These laws and regulations could increase the costs and liabilities associated with our e-commerce activities, and increase the price of our product to consumers, without a corresponding increase in our revenue or net income, thereby negatively impacting our results of operations.
Our Activewearbasics segment is subject to significant pricing pressures which may decrease our gross profit margins if we are unable to implement our cost reduction strategies.We operate our Activewearbasics segment in a highly competitive, price sensitive industry. Our strategy in this market environment is to be a low-cost producer and to differentiate ourselves by providing quality products and value-added services to our customers. To help achieve this goal, we began production in Ceiba Textiles, our Honduran textile facility, in fiscal year 2008. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009, we closed our Soffe textile manufacturing facility in Fayetteville, North Carolina and moved this production to our Maiden, North Carolina and Ceiba Textiles plants. In fiscal year 2010, we began the expansion of Ceiba Textiles to increase internal manufacturing capacity and further leverage the fixed cost of the facility.facility, and continued the expansion during fiscal year 2011. These initiatives, along with continual improvements in our production and delivery of products, are expected to lower our product costs and improve our results of operations. Failure to achieve the cost savings expected from these initiatives could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
Our operations are subject to political, social, economic, and climate risks in Mexico, Honduras and El Salvador which could negatively impact our financial position and results of operations. The majority of our products are manufactured in Honduras, El Salvador and Mexico, with a concentration in Honduras. These countries have experienced political, social and economic instability in the past, and we cannot be certain of their future stability. Instability in a country can lead to protests,

10


riots and labor unrest. New government leaders can change employment laws, thereby increasing our costs to operate in that country. In addition, fire or natural disasters, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, or floods can occur in these countries. Any of these political, social, economic or climatic events or conditions could disrupt our supply chain or increase our costs, adversely affecting our financial position and results of operations.
Significant changes to international trade regulations could adversely affect our results of operations.The majority of our products are manufactured in Honduras, El Salvador and Mexico. We therefore benefit from current free trade agreements and other duty preference programs, including the North American Free Trade Agreement (“NAFTA”) and the Central America Free Trade Agreement (“CAFTA”). Our claims for duty free or reduced duty treatment under CAFTA, NAFTA and other available programs are largely conditioned on our ability to produce or obtain accurate records, some of which are provided to us by third parties, about production processes and sources of raw materials. Subsequent repeal or modification of NAFTA or CAFTA, or the inadequacy or unavailability of supporting records, could materially adversely affect our results of operations. In addition, our products are subject to foreign competition, which in the past has been faced with significant U.S. government import restrictions. The extent of import protection afforded to domestic apparel producers has been, and is likely to remain, subject to political considerations. The elimination of import protections for domestic apparel producers could significantly increase global competition, which could adversely affect our business. In addition, any failure to comply with international trade regulations could cause us to become subject to investigation resulting in significant penalties or claims or our inability to conduct our business,

10


adversely affecting our results of operations.
Changes in domestic or foreign employment regulations or changes in our relationship with our employees could adversely affect our results of operations. We employ approximately 7,200 employees worldwide, with approximately 5,400 of these employees being in Honduras, El Salvador or Mexico. Changes in domestic and foreign laws governing our relationships with our employees, including wage and human resources laws and regulations, fair labor standards, overtime pay, unemployment tax rates, workers' compensation rates and payroll taxes, would likely have a direct impact on our operating costs. A significant increase in wage rates in the countries in which we operate could have a material impact on our operating results. Our employees are currently not party to any collective bargaining agreements, with the exception of approximately 1,000 employees in Honduras, which are party to a three year collective bargaining agreement. We have historically operated our facilities in a productive manner without significant labor disruptions, such as strikes or work stoppages. However, if labor relations were to change, it could adversely affect the productivity and ultimate cost of our manufacturing operations.
We are subject to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. We manufacture the majority of our products outside of the United States, exposing us to currency exchange rate fluctuations. In addition, movements in foreign exchange rates can affect transaction costs because we source products from various countries. We may seek to mitigate our exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations, but our efforts may not be successful. Accordingly, changes in the relative strength of the United States dollar against other currencies could adversely affect our business.
The value of our brands and sales of our products could be diminished by negative publicity resulting from violations in labor laws or unethical business practices. We are committed to ensuring that all of our manufacturing facilities comply with our strict internal Code of Conduct, local and internal laws, and the codes and principles to which we subscribe, including those of Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production (WRAP) and Fair Labor Association (FLA). In addition, we require our suppliers and independent contractors to operate their businesses in compliance with the laws and regulations that apply to them. However, we do not control these suppliers and independent contractors. A violation of our policies, labor laws or other laws by our suppliers or independent contractors could interrupt or otherwise disrupt our operations. Negative publicity regarding the production methods of any of our suppliers or independent contractors could adversely affect our reputation and sales, which could adversely affect our business.
The market price of Delta Apparel shares is affected by illiquidity of our shares, which could lead to our shares trading at prices that are significantly lower than expected.Various investment banking firms have informed us that public companies with relatively small market capitalizations have difficulty generating institutional interest, research coverage or trading volume. This illiquidity can translate into price discounts as compared to industry peers or to the shares’ inherent value. We believe that the market perceives us to have a relatively small market capitalization. This could lead to our shares trading at prices that are significantly lower than our estimate of their inherent value.
As of August 28, 2010,22, 2011, we had 8,520,9608,388,413 shares of common stock outstanding. We believe that approximately 59%51% of our stock is beneficially owned by those who own more than 5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Included in the 59%51% are institutional investors that beneficially own more than 5% of the outstanding shares. These institutional investors own approximately 44%43% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market by any of these large holders could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
The market price of Delta Apparel shares is likely to be highly volatile as the stock market in general can be highly volatile. Fluctuations in Delta Apparel stock price may be influenced by, among other things, the general economic and market conditions, conditions or trends in our industry, changes in the market valuations of other apparel companies, announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships or other strategic initiatives, and increased trading volumes. Many of these factors are beyond our control, but may cause the market price of our common stock to decline, regardless of our operating performance.
Our success depends upon the talents and continued contributions of our key management. We believe our future success depends on our ability to retain and motivate our key management, our ability to attract and integrate new members of management into our operations and the ability of all personnel to work together effectively as a team. Our continued success is dependent on our ability to retain existing, and attract additional, qualified personnel to execute our business strategy.

* On July 18, 2007, we announced plans to restructure our textile manufacturing operations. The restructuring plan included the closing of our manufacturing facility in Fayette, Alabama, the expensing of excess costs associated with the integration of FunTees and the start-up expenses related to the opening of our Honduran textile facility, Ceiba Textiles.
The restructuring plan began in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007 and was completed in the third quarter of fiscal year 2008. In total, we incurred $11.8 million, or approximately $0.90 earnings per diluted share, in charges associated with the restructuring. During fiscal year 2007, we incurred a total of $6.9 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, of which $5.4 million was recorded in cost of sales and $1.5 million on the restructuring cost line item of the financial statements. During fiscal year 2008, we incurred $4.9 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, in charges associated with the restructuring plan, of which $4.8 million was included in cost of sales with the remaining $0.1 million on the restructuring cost line item of the financial statements. All charges associated with the restructuring plan were recorded in our basics segment.

While we are encouraged with the results we achieved in fiscal year 2011 and with our long term prospects, the continued weakness in the global economy and extreme volatility in input costs are presenting unique obstacles. In fiscal year 2012 we will need to manage through the higher cost cotton rolling through cost of sales, impacting our second and third fiscal quarters most significantly.
Over the last several years we have continued to improve the performance of our manufacturing operations which we believe has improved our competitive position. Our continuous improvement and six sigma programs continued to lower product cost by improving yields, reducing waste and minimizing off quality production. In fiscal year 2011 we expanded the output in most of our manufacturing facilities which leverages our fixed costs and provides additional volume to sell. We ran our manufacturing at capacity during fiscal year 2011 and currently expect to continue this into fiscal year 2012, taking advantage of the capacity expansions we completed over the past twelve months.
Our customer base for private label and decorated products is expanding and should add revenue in our basics segment for the upcoming year. Market demand for our private label programs remains strong, driven by consumer demand for our customers' products and the high service levels required in this marketplace. Demand for undecorated tees has recently weakened causing additional challenges in the catalog tee business.
We expect our branded segment to continue its growth trends in the upcoming year with improved operating margins. Our Soffe business continues to gain new doors, particularly with the sporting goods distribution channel. During fiscal year 2011 we completed most of the integration work on The Cotton Exchange and expect to see the benefits of this in fiscal year 2012. We are seeing positive trends in our Junkfood business and expect sales growth in fiscal year 2012, driven by solid business with The Gap, along with improved results with boutiques and upper tier retailers. Junkfood has been focused on brand building, resulting in strong press coverage over the past six months.
We expect strong sales at To The Game in fiscal year 2012 driven from sales of Salt Life(R) products and Under Armor licensed headwear. Salt Life(R) product offerings should be available in a growing number of doors over an expanded geographic area as fiscal year 2012 unfolds. In December we expect to open a flagship Salt Life(R) store, design lab and showroom in Jacksonville Beach, Florida, giving us an exciting venue to display new products, meet with customers, and get consumer feedback in a real Salt Life environment. We expect to operate our digital printing operation at Art Gun at full print capacity during the holiday season and we are working on strategies to build volume throughout the rest of the year. Art Gun continues to attract new customers across different different business platforms. We will soon be launching an improved Delta Catalog website and are developing a marketing strategy to allow this customer base to utilize our custom design and decorating capabilities.
In January 2010 we provided the investment community with three year targets, which included reaching sales of $500 million, gross margins of thirty percent and earnings of $3.00 per share. We are ahead of our sales goals and believe we are building an operating platform and portfolio of brands and licensed properties which should allow us to reach our gross margin and earnings targets as raw material prices return to more traditional levels. We do, however, remain concerned about the retail climate for apparel sales remains very difficult, we believe that we can continueand the United States economy in general. Raw material prices remain volatile which adds uncertainty to improve our financial results in fiscal year 2011. Our Retail-Ready segment continues to build business relationships, expanding the number of customerspricing and doors where our products are sold to the ultimate consumer. We believe we can continue to grow organically as we leverage our customer relationships across our business groups. We are already shipping our Realtree Outfitters® product to the outdoor markets and are encouraged with the initial customer response.production strategies. We have signed new license agreements and built design capabilities which we believe will allow usevaluated these heightened risk factors in setting our expectations for the upcoming year, but it is impossible to further differentiate our products withinpredict the retail marketplace. Our internet sales of Soffe® and Junk Food® products are sustaining the growth we experienced over the past several years, which we believe is a further reflection of the strength of our brands and license agreements. We recently added a Design Studio on the Soffe website where consumers can add custom design graphics to certain Soffe products utilizing our Art Gun technology and digital printing capabilities. We also believe the recent acquisition of The Cotton Exchange, which services the same markets as Soffe but expands its customer base, will help drive growth in fiscal year 2011.

Our competitive position in the Activewear segment continues to improve as we gained significant market share in our catalog business and grew our full-packaged products over the last two fiscal years. During fiscal year 2010 we implemented new merchandising and pricing initiatives that should allow us to continue increasing market share in this segment. Inventory of undecorated tees remains in tight supply in the marketplace, which we believe will allow us to run all of our manufacturing operations at near full capacity during fiscal year 2011. Weimpact these conditions may have recently installed new dye equipment at our Ceiba Textiles facility that should increase capacity and lower manufacturing costs in fiscal year 2011. In addition, we have been training additional sewing operators in anticipation of the increased fabric production to allow for higher sewing output beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2011.
In fiscal year 2011, we will continue our focus on the four strategic initiatives that we believe are important to the continued growth and success of Delta Apparel, Inc.:
1) Leverage Existing Business Strengths to Drive Growth. One of our key business strategies has been to build diverse marketing channels to distribute our broad range of activewear products to the end consumer. We continue to develop new platforms for future growth by leveraging our customer relationships and business opportunities across our business units. Through To The Game’s relationship with Realtree®, we became the exclusive licensee of Realtree Outfitters® and Realtree Girl® lifestyle apparel brands and introduced these to the outdoor marketplace in fiscal year 2010. We have recently launched the Realtree Outfitters® by The Game® brand to the marketplace utilizing collegiate logos with the Realtree® camouflage lifestyle apparel silhouettes. We expect these new lines will drive growth in fiscal year 2011. Through this new outdoor channel and within our existing distribution channels, we are expanding our customer base and increasing the doors where our products are sold to our ultimate consumers.
We are also focusing on further leveraging our license agreements across all of our business units to support new channels of distribution and to increase our value-adding services, including printing and specialized packaging. We are also focusing on our existing license agreements to expand the tiers of distribution and geographic locations in which we can sell products. This should allow us to continue our international growth with Junk Food® products and expand our presence domestically. As we leverage our license agreements and customer relationships across our business units, we expect to increase brand and product penetration within existing channels as well as expand into new tiers of distribution across our businesses.business.
2) Improve Profitability in our Activewear Segment. The Activewear segment, which includes the Delta Catalog and FunTees businesses, returned to profitability in fiscal year 2010 with an operating profit of $2.4 million, a $7.8 million improvement from the prior fiscal year. During fiscal year 2011, we will continue to focus on further improving the profitability in this segment. We expect to improve gross margins through our merchandising and marketing strategies and by maximizing our value-added services, including decoration and retail packaging. We currently expect to run our manufacturing facilities near full capacity during fiscal year 2011 which should improve our manufacturing efficiencies and lower our costs. These initiatives, along with others, should allow us to further improve profitability in the Activewear segment in fiscal year 2011.
3) Consolidate and Improve Information Technology Platforms. During fiscal year 2010, we invested significant amounts of capital expanding our primary manufacturing platform in our Activewear segment, completing a major enterprise conversion at our Soffe business unit, expanding our warehouse management systems, and upgrading our e-commerce sites. Although we are not yet complete with many of these initiatives, we do expect to see some of the benefits of these investments in business systems in fiscal year 2011, including better management of our inventory and improved operational efficiencies.
4) Maintain Appropriate Inventory Levels. As a result of our speed to market initiatives, better product lifestyle management, utilization of new production planning systems and taking quicker action on slow moving items, we lowered our investment in inventory by $9.3 million compared to the prior fiscal year, despite having higher priced raw materials in inventory. The reduction in inventory was accomplished while growing our revenues by 19.5%, thereby significantly improving our inventory turns. In fiscal year 2011 we will continue our ongoing initiatives towards having the right products in inventory to provide a high level of service to our customers, while further improving our inventory turns and lowering our inventory levels on products where appropriate.
Throughout fiscal year 2010 we have been successful in growing market share and improving our profitability, despite less than ideal business conditions. While there is still uncertainty and risk regarding the recovery of the general economy, we believe demand for our products is strong and that we are well positioned for continued sales growth and earnings expansion in fiscal year 2011.

EARNINGS GUIDANCE
For the 2011 fiscal year ending July 2, 2011,June 30, 2012, we expect net sales to be in the range of $455$500 to $465$520 million, and earningsan increase of 5% to 9% from fiscal year 2011, all of which is expected to be organic growth. Earnings are expected to be in the range of $1.55$2.00 to $1.70$2.15 per diluted share.share in fiscal year 2012.
Our fiscal year 20112012 guidance is based on the following assumptions:
1) Organic sales growth of 3%5% to 6% after adjusting for the additional week9% driven primarily by higher average prices. We expect to achieve sales growth in both our branded and basics segments;
2) Decline in gross margins of operations in our fiscal year 2010.
2) Revenues of $25 million from The Cotton Exchange, which was acquired on July 12, 2010.
3) Gross margin improvement of approximately 150 to 200 basis points for the year driven primarily from improvements in the Activewear segment from price increaseshigher cotton and continued manufacturing improvements, offset partially by higherother raw material costs, partially offset by improved manufacturing costs as we gain efficiencies and energy costs expectedfurther leverage our fixed expenses. We will be bringing in yarn with the highest cotton cost in our first quarter of fiscal year 2011.2012, and expect the cotton cost to decline over the remaining quarters. As this yarn flows through our manufacturing process and the finished goods are sold, we expect the highest cost inventory will be in our cost of sales during our second and third quarters of fiscal year 2012, impacting gross margins most significantly in these quarters.
4)3) Selling, general and administration costs are expected to increasedecrease as a percentage of sales, as well as in gross dollars, from fiscal year 20102011 due primarily to the higher selling costs associated with the sales growthfiscal year 2011 including some one-time expenses that are not expected to repeat in the Retail-Ready segment.fiscal year 2012.
5)4) The effective tax rate for fiscal year 20112012 is expected to be approximately 32%24%.

Although we believe we have taken these challengesrisks, as well as other factors, into consideration in determiningas we determined our expectationsguidance for fiscal year 2011.2012, the significance of the challenges, many of which our outside of our control, creates heightened risk to the volatility of our earnings in the upcoming fiscal year. In addition, although we believe that the assumptions described above are reasonable, if any of the assumptions proves to be incorrect, our results will differ from our expectations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
We are pleased with our results in fiscalFiscal year 2010 and the milestones we reached during the year. Each2011 marked another year of our business units provided organic growth for the secondDelta Apparel, Inc. and our eighth consecutive year. This, combined with our acquisition of To The Game, resulted in record sales of $424.4 million, an increase of 19.5% from the prior year. We now have achieved seven consecutive yearsyear of record revenue.
Our business units Higher selling prices, coupled with continued marketing initiatives to gain new customers and expand business relationships with existing customers, add new license and marketing agreements, and expand value-adding services for our customers. This led to ourdrove organic sales growth of 14%7.1% during fiscal year 20102011 on top of the 8%14% organic growth achieved in fiscal year 2009.2010. The organic sales growth, coupled with the inclusion of revenue from the acquisition of The Cotton Exchange, resulted in record sales of $475.2 million, an increase of $50.8 million, or 12.0%, from the prior year.
Our operating profit was $20.2increased $5.1 million to $25.3 million, or 4.8%5.3% of sales, in fiscal year 2010,2011, resulting in net income of $12.2$17.3 million, or $1.40$1.98 per diluted share. Our effective tax rate was 23.6% in fiscal year 2011 compared to 26.8% in the prior year as we further developed our tax planning strategies.
In addition to earning solidgrowing our top line and expanding our profits, in fiscal year 2010, we also continued to focus on managing the capital in the business. Even with the significant revenue growthThe rise of cotton prices during the year and higher raw material costsresulting increases in ending inventory, we were able to reduceselling prices significantly increased our net working capital investedrequirements. Even with the increased investment in working capital, we generated positive cash flows from operations during fiscal year 2011. We continued to invest in the growth of our business as comparedthrough the acquisition of The Cotton Exchange in July 2011, and with capital expenditures to the prior fiscal year end. We believe this was a key driver infurther expand our debt reduction of over $23 million in fiscal year 2010.manufacturing capacity, lower our costs and improve our information technology platforms.

Overall, we believe thatwe have many opportunities to continue our various marketing platformssales growth and further improve our profitability in the upcoming years. In fiscal year 2012, we will face challenging market conditions resulting from the volatile cotton market, inflationary pressures and general economic conditions which continue to impact discretionary spending. We believe our broad channels of distribution have served us well, yielding growthand diversified product offerings, along with our prudent capital management, in a difficult apparel marketplace.should serve us well during these more challenging times.
Quarterly Financial Data
For information regarding quarterly financial data, refer to Note 16 “Quarterly- Quarterly Financial Information (Unaudited) to the consolidated financial statements,Consolidated Financial Statements, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
Fiscal Year 2011 versus Fiscal Year 2010
Net sales for fiscal year 2011 were $475.2 million, a $50.8 million increase from the prior year sales of $424.4 million. The 12.0% sales increase resulted from organic sales growth of 7.1% and the additional revenue from the acquisition of The Cotton Exchange. Both segments contributed to the increase with an 11.9% increase in our basics segment and a 12.1% increase in our branded segment. Sales in the branded segment were $221.7 million, or approximately 47% of total sales. Revenue from The Cotton Exchange, which we acquired in July 2011, drove a 10.5% increase in the branded segment revenue from the prior year. Soffe® apparel, coupled with the new Salt Life® collection, also contributed to the growth, being partially offset by lower sales of Junk Food® merchandise. Sales within the basics segment increased to $253.5 million, or 53% of our total revenue. The 11.9% organic growth in the basics segment was driven by a 15.3% increase in average selling prices, partially offset by a decline in units sold.
Gross margins improved 80 basis points to 24.5% of net sales in fiscal year 2011 from 23.7% of net sales in the prior year. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales was driven primarily from higher average selling prices within our basics segment combined with efficiencies gained from our vertical manufacturing platform. During fiscal year 2011, we increased capacity and operated our manufacturing facilities full throughout the entire year. We gained efficiencies, improved quality and lowered costs in manufacturing through our continuous improvement initiatives and leveraging of fixed costs with the additional production capacity added during the year. The improved gross margins in our basics segment were partially offset by a decline in our branded segment margins due to lower sales of our vintage licensed products and higher operational expenses associated with Salt Life®

17


and the digital printing business. Our gross margins may not be comparable to other companies, since some companies include costs related to their distribution network in cost of goods sold and we exclude them from gross margin and include them in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Fiscal year 2011 selling, general and administrative expenses were $91.5 million, or 19.3% of sales, compared to $80.7 million, or 19.0% of sales, in the prior year. Selling expenses increased as a percentage of sales primarily because we made investments in consumer brand-marketing campaigns to promote future growth of our branded products. General and administrative expenses also increased as a percentage of sales with costs associated with the acquisition of The Cotton Exchange, expenses related to Art Gun and higher performance-based compensation expense associated with our improved operating results and stock price.
Our operating profit was $25.3 million, or 5.3% of sales, in fiscal year 2011, compared to $20.2 million, or 4.8% of sales, in fiscal year 2010 resulting from the factors described above. Operating income in the branded and basics segments were $8.4 million and $16.9 million, respectively. The branded segment operating income included a non-cash net favorable adjustment of $0.9 million related to the valuation of the Art Gun contingent consideration and goodwill.
Net interest expense for fiscal year 2011 was $2.6 million, a reduction of $0.9 million, or 25.4%, from $3.5 million for fiscal year 2010. The decrease in net interest expense was primarily due to lower average interest rates in fiscal year 2011 resulting from the expiration of interest rate swap and collar agreements in March 2010.
Our fiscal year 2011 effective income tax rate was 23.6% compared to an effective tax rate of 26.8% in fiscal year 2010. The decrease is due to having a higher percentage of pre-tax earnings in foreign tax-free locations compared to earnings in the United states and foreign taxable locations. During fiscal year 2011, we further developed our tax planning strategies, allowing us to keep more profits in Honduras, a tax-free zone, reducing our overall effective tax rate.
Net income for fiscal year 2011 was $17.3 million, a $5.1 million increase from net income of $12.2 million in fiscal year 2010.
Fiscal Year 2010 versus Fiscal Year 2009
Net sales during fiscal year 2010 increased by $69.2 million to $424.4 million, a 19.5% increase from fiscal year 2009. The sales improvement resulted from organic growth of approximately 14%, along with having the full year of sales from To The Game, which was acquired in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009. In addition, fiscal year 2010 included 53 weeks of operations compared to 52 weeks of operations in fiscal year 2009. Each of our business units contributed to the 14% organic sales growth, which was on top of an 8% organic sales growth in fiscal year 2009. ActivewearBasics sales increased 13.8% to $226.6 million in fiscal year 2010 driven primarily from higher volumes and an increase in average selling prices during the second half of fiscal year 2010. Sales in the Retail-Readybranded segment increased to $197.8 million in fiscal year 2010, a 26.7% increase from the prior year driven from strong sales growth from our Junk Food® products and a full year of sales from our recentlyTo The Game, which we acquired headwear business.in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009.
Gross profit improved 220 basis points to 23.7% of net sales in fiscal year 2010 from 21.5% in the prior year. In fiscal year 2010 we benefited from a full year of lower cost production from our Honduran textile operations, improving our results over the prior year by approximately $2 million, adding 50 basis points to our gross margins. Driven primarily from increased demand for our products, we operated our manufacturing facilities near capacity in the second half of the year, reducing our shutdown costs compared to the prior year by approximately $1.5 million, or 40 basis points. The remaining improvement in gross margins resulted from effective merchandising strategies and operational improvements. Our gross margins may not be comparable to other companies, since some companies include costs related to their distribution network in cost of goods sold and we exclude them from gross margin and include them in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Fiscal year 2010 selling, general and administrative expenses were $80.7 million, or 19.0% of sales, an increase from 18.1% of sales in the prior year. The increase iswas primarily driven from the higher selling costs associated with sales of Retail-Readybranded products, driven fromwhich includes the royalty expensesexpense associated with the sale of licensed products. The increase in selling, general and administrative costs was also due to higher performance-based compensation expense from the improved financial performance and increased stock price during fiscal year 2010 compared to the prior year.fiscal year 2009.
Our operating profit was $20.2 million, or 4.8% of sales, in fiscal year 2010, compared to $12.1 million, or 3.4% of sales, in fiscal year 2009 resulting from the factors described above. The Retail-Readybranded segment contributed $17.8 million in operating income and the Activewearbasics segment had operating income of $2.4 million.
Other income for fiscal years 2010 and 2009 was $0.1 million, primarily related to our investment in the joint venture of the industrial park where Ceiba Textiles is located.
Net interest expense for fiscal year 2010 was $3.5 million, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 25.6%, from $4.7 million for fiscal year 2009. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to lower debt levels and lower average interest rates compared to the prior year. During fiscal year 2010, our average interest rate was 1.5% compared to 3.7% in the prior year.fiscal year 2009.
Our fiscal year 2010 effective income tax rate was 26.8%, compared to 13.1% in fiscal year 2009. The primary driver for the

18


increase in fiscal year 2010 iswas due to having a higher percentage of pre-tax earnings in the United States and foreign taxable locations compared to earnings in foreign tax-free locations. Profits that are permanently reinvested in the tax-free zone of Honduras are relatively fixed since this amount is based on a cost-plus determination based on our production output. Therefore, our effective tax rate has increased during the current fiscal year 2010 because our U.S. profits have increased while our Honduran tax-free profits have remained relatively constant. The higher effective tax rate compared to the prior fiscal year negatively impacted our earnings by approximately $0.25 per diluted share.
Net income for fiscal year 2010 was $12.2 million, a $5.7 million increase from fiscal year 2009 net income of $6.5 million.

Fiscal Year 2009 versus Fiscal Year 2008
Fiscal year 2009 net sales increased 10.3% to $355.2 million, a $33.2 million increase from fiscal year 2008. The sales improvement resulted from organic growth of approximately 8%, with each of our business units contributing to the increase, combined with sales from To The Game, which was acquired on March 29, 2009. Activewear sales increased 10.9% to $199.0 million driven from volume growth and from delivering a higher percentage of units as decorated full package products. Sales in the Retail-Ready segment were $156.2 million in fiscal year 2009, a 9.5% increase from the prior year. Excluding To The Game, sales in the segment increased approximately 5% for the full year. We believe that the strength of our brands and licenses, along with our diverse customer base within the businesses, allowed us to achieve sales growth in a very difficult year at retail.
Gross profit improved 140 basis points to 21.5% of net sales in fiscal year 2009 from 20.1% in the prior year. We expensed a total of $1.7 million in the second half of fiscal year 2009 from our manufacturing downtimes, lowering gross margins by about 50 basis points. The prior year gross margins included $4.9 million of restructuring related expenses, lowering margins in the prior year by 150 basis points. Our gross margins may not be comparable to other companies, since some companies include costs related to their distribution network in cost of goods sold and we exclude them from gross margin and include them in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Fiscal year 2009 selling, general and administrative expenses were $64.4 million, or 18.1% of sales, an improvement from 18.6% of sales in the prior year. In fiscal year 2009, we closed our Andalusia distribution facility and consolidated these products into our West Coast distribution facility, lowering our distribution costs. In addition, our bad debt expense was lower in fiscal year 2009. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, two of our customers filed bankruptcy, increasing bad debt expense by $0.8 million. Selling costs as a percentage of net sales are typically higher in the Retail-Ready segment primarily due to additional staffing, higher commissions, royalty expense on licensed products, and increased advertising expenses associated with selling branded products.
Our operating profit was $12.1 million, or 3.4% of sales, in fiscal year 2009, compared to $4.9 million, or 1.5% of sales, in fiscal year 2008 resulting from the factors described above. The Retail-Ready segment contributed $17.6 million in operating income, and the Activewear segment had a $5.4 million operating loss. Included in fiscal year 2008 was $4.9 million in restructuring related charges.
Other income for fiscal years 2009 and 2008 was $0.1 million, primarily related to our investment in the joint venture of the industrial park where Ceiba Textiles is located.
Net interest expense for fiscal year 2009 was $4.7 million, a decrease of $1.3 million, or 21.9%, from $6.0 million for fiscal year 2008. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to a reduction in the average interest rate on our outstanding debt. During fiscal year 2009, our average interest rate was 3.7% compared to 6.0% in the prior year.
Our fiscal year 2009 effective income tax rate was 13.1%, compared to 56.0% in fiscal year 2008. In fiscal year 2009, we completed a change in the legal structure of Soffe from a corporation to a limited liability company. This change allows us to use Delta Apparel’s state net operating loss carryforwards, and therefore we reversed a portion of our deferred income tax asset valuation allowance, resulting in a tax benefit of $0.4 million, which was recognized during the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. Due to the small loss in fiscal year 2008, the effective income tax rate is not meaningful. Our effective tax rate is subject to significant changes based on the jurisdiction and the percentage of earnings and losses in domestic and foreign taxable and tax-free locations relative to the total pre-tax income (loss) in a given period.
Net income for fiscal year 2009 was $6.5 million, a $7.0 million increase from our net loss of $0.5 million in fiscal year 2008.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Credit Facility and Other Financial Obligations
On September 21, 2007,May 27, 2011, Delta Apparel, Soffe, Junkfood, To The Game, Art Gun and SoffeTCX entered into a ThirdFourth Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amended Loan Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, successor by merger to Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Agent, and the financial institutions named in the Amended Loan Agreement as Lenders. The Amended Loan Agreement provided usLenders, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, Bank of America, N.A., as Syndication Agent, Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC, as Sole Lead Arranger, and Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as Joint Bookrunners. In connection with a $100 million credit line (subject to borrowing base limitations based on the value and type of collateral provided) that matures on September 12, 2012. On March 30, 2009, we invoked the accordion feature in the Amended Loan Agreement, increasing the maximum lineIsrael Discount Bank of creditNew York was removed from $100 million to $110 million and adding PNC Bank, National Association to the syndicate of lenders under the credit facility, with a $10 million commitment. Proceedsand Bank of America, N.A. was added to the syndicate of lenders.
Pursuant to the Amended Loan Agreement, the maturity of the loans under the previously existing credit facility was extended to May 26, 2016 and the line of credit was increased to $145 million (subject to borrowing base limitations), which represents an increase of $35 million in the amount that was previously available under the credit facility. Under the Amended Loan Agreement, may be used for general operating, working capital, other corporate purposes, andprovided that no event of default exists, we have the option to finance fees and expensesincrease the maximum credit available under the facility.

The credit facility is secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all ofto $200 million (subject to borrowing base limitations), conditioned upon the realAgent's ability to secure additional commitments and personal property of Delta Apparel, Junkfood, Soffe, To The Game, Art Gun, and TCX. All loans under the credit agreement bear interest at rates based on either an adjusted LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin or a bank’s prime rate plus an applicable margin. The facility requires monthly installment payments of approximately $0.2 million in connection with fixed asset amortizations, and these amounts reduce the amount of availability under the facility. Annual facility fees are .25% of the amount by which $110 million exceeds the average daily principal balance of the outstanding loans and letters of credit accommodations and are charged monthly based on the principal balances during the immediately preceding month.
Our credit facility includes the financial covenant that if the amount of availability falls below $10 million, our Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (“FCCR”) (as defined in the Amended Loan Agreement) for the preceding 12 month period must not be less than 1.1 to 1.0 and otherwise includes customary conditions to funding, covenants, and events of default. As ofclosing conditions.At July 3, 2010, our FCCR was 4.0x for the preceding 12 months, thus exceeding the 1.1 to 1.0 requirement allowing access, if needed, to the total amount of availability provided for under the Amended Loan Agreement. We expect to continue to meet the FCCR for fiscal year 2011. At July 3, 2010,2, 2011, we had $61.2$75.9 million outstanding under our credit facility at an average interest rate of 1.5%1.8%, and had the ability to borrow an additional $35.5$59.1 million.
TheFor further information regarding our U.S. asset-based secured credit facility, contains a subjective acceleration clause and a “springing” lockbox arrangement (as defined in ASC 470,Debt), whereby remittances from customers will be forwardedrefer to our general bank account and will not reduceNote 9 - Long-Term Debt to the outstanding debt until and unless a specified event or an event of default occurs. Pursuant to ASC 470, we classify borrowings under the facility as non-current debt.Consolidated Financial Statements, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
On April 1, 2009, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement which effectively converted $15.0 million of floating rate debt under our credit facility to a fixed obligation with a LIBOR rate of 1.57%. This agreement will mature (or expire) on April 1, 2011. On March 1, 2010, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement which effectively converted $15.0 million of floating rate debt under our credit facility to a fixed obligation with a LIBOR rate of 1.11%. This agreement will mature (or expire) on September 1, 2011.We have assessed these agreements and concluded that the swaps match the exact terms of the underlying debt to which they are related and therefore are considered perfectly-effective hedges.
In the fourththird quarter of fiscal year 2007,2011, we entered into arenegotiated our loan agreement with Banco Ficohsa, a Honduran bank, for our capital expansionbank. Proceeds from the new loan agreement were used to extinguish the existing loan indebtedness and resulted in Honduras. The loan is secured by a first-priority lien on the assetsno gain or loss being recorded upon extinguishment. As of our Honduran operations. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the loan was amended to a fixed interest rate of 6% through June 2010, at which time the interest rate increased to 6.5% for the remainder of the term beginning July 2010. The loan is payable monthly, has a five-year term and is denominated in U.S. dollars. At July 3, 2010,2, 2011, we had $6.9a total of $10.8 million outstanding on this loan.
As part of the consideration for the acquisition of Junkfood, additional amounts were payable For further information regarding our Honduran credit facility, refer to Note 9 - Long-Term Debt to the Junkfood sellers if performance targets were metConsolidated Financial Statements, which information is incorporated herein by Junkfood during the period beginning on August 22, 2005 and ending on July 1, 2006 and during each of the three fiscal years thereafter ending on June 27, 2009 (the “Earnout Provisions”). These amounts were payable in the first quarter of the fiscal year subsequent to attaining the performance target. Related to the earnout period ended June 28, 2008, $2.6 million was earned in accordance to the Earnout Provisions and subsequently paid during the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. Based on the financial performance of Junkfood in fiscal year 2009, no earnout payment was made related to the earnout period ended June 27, 2009.reference.
Our primary cash needs are for working capital and capital expenditures.expenditures, as well as to fund share repurchases under our Stock Repurchase Program. In addition, in the future we may use cash to fund share repurchases under our Stock Repurchase Program or to pay dividends.
Derivative Instruments
We use derivative instruments to manage our exposure to interest rates. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for purposes of trading or speculation. When we enter into a derivative instrument, we determine whether hedge accounting can be applied. Where hedge accounting can be applied, a hedge relationship is designated as either a fair value hedge or cash flow hedge. The hedge is documented at inception, detailing the particular risk objective and strategy considered for undertaking the hedge. The documentation identifies the specific asset or liability being hedged, the risk being hedged, the type of derivative used and how effectiveness of the hedge will be assessed.
As described above,On April 1, 2009, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement which effectively converted $15.0 million of floating rate debt under our credit facility to a fixed obligation with a LIBOR rate of 1.57%. This agreement terminated on April 1, 2009 and2011. On March 1, 2010, we entered into an interest rate swap agreementsagreement which effectively converted $15.0 million of floating rate debt under our credit facility to manage our interesta fixed obligation with a LIBOR rate exposure and effectively reduce the impact of future interest rate changes.1.11%. This agreement will terminate on September 1, 2011. We assessed these agreements and have concluded that each met the requirementsswap agreements match the exact terms of the underlying debt to be accounted for aswhich it is related and therefore is considered a highly-effective hedge.

Changes in the derivatives’ fair values are deferred and are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), net of income taxes, until the underlying transaction is recorded. When the hedged item affects income, gains or losses are reclassified from AOCI to the Consolidated Statements of Operations as interest income/expense. Any ineffectiveness in our hedging relationships is recognized immediately in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.The changes in fair value of the interest rate swap agreements resulted in an AOCI gain, net of taxes, of a gain of$0.1 million and $0.5 million as offor the years ended July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, and AOCI, net of taxes, of a loss of $0.1 million as of June 27, 2009.respectively.
Operating Cash Flows

Operating activities for fiscal year 20102011 provided $32.3$2.9 million in cash compared to $21.7$32.3 million in cash provided by operating activities for fiscal year 2009.2010. The increasedecrease in operating cash flow forduring fiscal year 2011 compared to the prior year resulted primarily from higher working capital needs driven from higher raw material costs in inventory and increased sales. This increase was partially offset by higher accounts payable and accrued expensed caused primarily from the higher raw material costs. The cash flow provided by operating activities in fiscal year 2010 resulted primarily from an increase in accounts receivable due to significant revenue growth during the current fiscal yearnet income combined with lower inventory levels as we better managedincreased our inventory turns through improved processing and new business operating systems.
Investing Cash flow from operatingFlows
Cash used in investing activities in fiscal year 20092011 was primarily due$17.9 million compared to higher sales and profitability as well managing our working capital.

In fiscal year 2010,2011, we used $7.0$8.0 million in cash for the purchase of property and equipment and invested $1.7acquired The Cotton Exchange for $9.9 million in cash. See Note 3 - Acquisitions to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the acquisition of businesses.The Cotton Exchange.

CashCapital expenditures for the purchase of property and equipment for fiscal year 20102011 were $7.0 million.$8.0 million. These expenditures were primarily to improve our information technology in both our Retail-Readybranded and Activewearbasics segments and to increase capacity and lower costs in our manufacturing facilities which support both our Retail-Readybranded and Activewearbasics segments. We spent $3.1$7.0 million in fiscal year 2010 on capital expenditures in fiscal year 2009primarily to improve our distribution, inventorymanufacturing platform and business operating systems.
We expect to spend approximately $8$10 million in capital expenditures in fiscal year 2011,2012, which includes approximately $3$4 to $4$5 million to increase textile and sewing capacity to meet the expected future sales growth. In addition, we will continue to invest to consolidate and improve our information systems and on maintenance capital in our manufacturing and distribution facilities.
During fiscal year 2010 we used $1.7 million in cash associated with our acquisitions of Art Gun and To The Game. On December 28, 2009, we completed the acquisition of Art Gun, paying $1.0 million in cash at closing for the business. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, we made the final payment of $0.7 million for the acquisition of To The Game, which we acquired effective March 29, 2009.
During fiscal year 2009 we used $5.4 million in cash for the acquisition of To The Game and paid $2.6 million to the former Junkfood shareholders associated with the earnout period ended June 28, 2008.
Financing Activities
Cash used inprovided by financing activities for fiscal year 20102011 was $23.6$14.9 million compared to cash used by financing activities of $10.7$23.6 million in fiscal year 2009.2010. The cash provided by financing activities during fiscal year 2011 was used to fund the acquisition of The Cotton Exchange, for capital expenditures and for the purchase of our common stock. During fiscal yearsyear 2010 and 2009, we used our cash from operating activities, net of our investing activities, to reduce our debt outstanding under our revolving credit facility and to make principal payments on our loan with Banco Ficohsa.
Our credit facility contains limitations on, or prohibitions of, cash dividends. We are allowed to make cash dividends in amounts such that the aggregate amount paid to shareholders since May 16, 2000 does not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of our cumulative net income calculated from May 16, 2000 to the date of determination. At July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009, there was $14.7 million and $11.7 million, respectively, of retained earnings free of restrictions for the payment of dividends. No dividends were paid to our shareholders in fiscal years 2010 and 2009.
Future Liquidity and Capital Resources
Based on our expectations, we believe that our credit facility should be sufficient to satisfy our foreseeable working capital needs, and that the cash flow generated by our operations and funds available under our credit line should be sufficient to

20


service our debt payment requirements, to satisfy our day-to-day working capital needs and to fund our planned capital expenditures. Any material deterioration in our results of operations, however, may result in our losing the ability to borrow under our revolving credit facility and to issue letters of credit to suppliers or may cause the borrowing availability under our facility to be insufficient for our needs.

______________________
(a)We exclude interest payments from these amounts because the cash outlay for the interest is unknown and can not be reliably estimated because the majority of the debt is under a revolving credit facility. Interest payments will be determined based upon the daily outstanding balance of the revolving credit facility and the prevailing interest rate during that time.
(b)We excluded deferred income tax liabilities of $3.8$5.0 million from the contractual cash obligations table because we believe inclusion would not be meaningful. Refer to Note 9 of our audited consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax liabilities are calculated based on temporary differences between tax bases of assets and liabilities and their respective book bases, which will result in taxable amounts in future years when the liabilities are settled at their reported financial statement amounts. The results of these calculations do not have a direct connection with the amount of cash taxes to be paid in any future periods and therefore would not relate to liquidity needs. As a result, including deferred income tax liabilities as payments due by period in the schedule could be misleading.

As a result, including deferred income tax liabilities as payments due by period in the schedule could be misleading.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of July 3, 2010,2, 2011, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are material to our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows as defined by Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC other than the letters of credit, operating leases, and purchase obligations described above. We have entered into derivative interest rate contracts as described and included below in “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in Item 6A7A of this report.
Dividends and Purchases of our Own Shares
FutureUnder our credit agreement, we are allowed to make cash dividends and stock repurchases if (i) as of the date of the payment or repurchase and after giving effect to the payment or repurchase, we have availability on that date of not less than $15 million and average availability for the 30 day period immediately preceding that date of not less than $15 million; and (ii) the aggregate amount of dividends and stock repurchases after May 27, 2011 does not exceed $19 million plus 50% of our cumulative net income (as defined in the Amended Loan Agreement) from the first day of fiscal year 2012 to the date of determination.At July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, there was $18.7 million and $14.7 million, respectively, of retained earnings free of restrictions to make cash dividends or stock repurchases.
Our Board of Directors did not declare, nor were any dividends paid, during fiscal years 2011 and 2010.We would expect that our Board of Directors would consider the advisability of instituting a dividend program in the future. Any future cash dividend payments or purchases of our own shares will largely depend onupon our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, compliance with loan covenants and other relevant factors. Our credit facility permits the payment
As of cash dividendsJuly 2, 2011, our Board of Directors had authorized management to use up to $15.0 million to repurchase Delta Apparel stock in amounts such that the aggregate amount paid to shareholders since May 16, 2000 does not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) ofopen market transactions under our cumulative net income calculated from May 16, 2000 to the date of determination.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
OurThe discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our most critical accounting estimates, discussed below, pertain to revenue recognition, accounts receivable and related reserves, inventory and related reserves, the carrying value of goodwill, stock-based compensation and the accounting for income taxes.
Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements includes a summary of the significant accounting policies or methods used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Revenue Recognition
We consider revenue realized or realizable and earnedRevenues from product sales are recognized when the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, title has transferredownership is transfered to the customer, which includes not only the passage of title, but also the transfer of the risk of loss related to the product. At this point, the sales price is fixed and determinable, and we are reasonably assured of the collectibility is reasonably assured.of the sale. The majority of our sales are shipped FOB shipping point and revenue is therefore recognized when the goods are shipped to the customer. For sales that are shipped FOB destination point, we do not recognize the revenue until the goods are received by the customer. SalesShipping and handling charges billed to our customers are recorded

21


included in net revenue and the related costs are included in cost of goods sold. Revenues are reported on net sales basis, which is computed by deducting product returns, discounts and provisions for estimated returns and allowances. We estimate returns and allowances on an ongoing basis by considering historical results and current trends. We record these costs as a reduction to net sales.
Accounts Receivable and Related Reserves
In the normal course of business, we extend credit to our customers based upon defined credit criteria. Accounts receivable, as shown on our Consolidated Balance Sheet, are net of related reserves. We estimate the net collectibility of our accounts receivable and establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon this assessment. In situations where we are aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligation, such as in the case of a bankruptcy filing, a specific reserve for bad debts is recorded against amounts due to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount reasonably expected to be collected. For all other customers, reserves are determined through analysis of the aging of accounts receivable balances, historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms. In addition, reserves are established for other concessions that have been extended to customers, including advertising, markdowns and chargebacks,other accommodations, net of historical recoveries. These reserves are determined based upon reviews of open invoices, historical deduction trends and evaluation of current market conditions. Significant changes in customer concentration or payment terms, deterioration of customer credit-worthiness or further weakening in economic trends could have a significant impact on the collectibility of receivables and our operating results.
Inventories and Related Reserves
Our inventory is statedWe state inventories at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method. Inventory cost includes materials, labor and manufacturing overhead on manufactured inventory, and all direct and associated costs, including inbound freight, and the associated costs to acquire our sourced products. We regularly review inventory quantities on hand and record a provisionreserves for damaged,obsolescence, excess quantities, irregulars and out of style or otherwise obsoleteslow moving inventory based on our historical selling prices, for these products, current market conditions, and our forecast offorecasted product demand for the next twelve months.to reduce inventory to its net realizable value. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected, or if sell-through of the inventory is more difficult than anticipated, additional inventory write-downsreserves may be required.
Goodwill and Contingent Consideration
In August 2005, we acquiredGoodwill and definite-lived intangibles were recorded in conjunction with our acquisitions of Junkfood Clothing Company and recorded $16.8 million of goodwillArt Gun. We did not record any indefinite-lived intangibles associated with the business. In December 2009, we acquired Art Gun and recorded $0.7 millioneither of goodwill associated with the business.these acquisitions. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price and related costs over the value assigned to net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of businesses acquired. We did not record any indefinite-lived intangibles associated with either of these acquisitions. Goodwill must be tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired, and is required to be written down when impaired. The

22


goodwill impairment testing process involves the use of significant assumptions, estimates and judgments, and is subject to inherent uncertainties and subjectivity. Estimating a reporting unit’s discounted cash flows involves the use of significant assumptions, estimates and judgments with respect to a variety of factors, including sales, gross margin andmargins, selling, general and administrative rates,expenses, capital expenditures, cash flows and the selection of an appropriate discount rate. Projected sales, gross marginrate, all of which are subject to inherent uncertainties and selling, general and administrative expense ratesubjectivity. When we perform goodwill impairment testing, our assumptions and capital expenditures are based on our annual business plans and other forecasted results. Discount ratesWe select a discount rate, which is used to reflect market-based estimates of the risks associated with the projected cash flows, of the reporting unit directly resulting from the use of its assets in its operations. These estimates are based on the best information available to us as of the date of the impairment assessment.
We completed our annual test of goodwill as of December 31, 2009. Under the first step of the impairment analysis, we considered both the income approach, which estimates the fair value based on the future discounted cash flows, and the market approach, which estimates the fair value based on comparable market prices. The fair value of Junkfood, a reporting unit included in the Retail-Ready segment, was determined based on the income approach and then comparedSee Note 2(m) - Significant Accounting Policies to the resultsConsolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our remeasurement of the market approachcontingent consideration and testing for reasonableness. We assumed a cash flow period of four and a half years with a residual growth rate of 3%. We used a discount rate of 16.5%, consistent with the prior yeargoodwill impairment, analysis. We did not identify any impairment as a result of the test. We experienced sales growth and improved profitability during fiscal year 2010. In addition to these positive factors, we also noted no indicators that would require a need to test for impairment subsequent to our annual test. As the general economic environment and our market capitalization remained depressed compared to historical results, we estimated the fair value of all of our reporting units in connection with the completion of our annual testwhich information is herein incorporated by discounting their estimated future cash flows to present value and reconciled the aggregate estimated fair value of all reporting units to the trading value of our common stock, noting a reasonable control premium.reference.
Given the current macro-economic environment and the uncertainties regarding its potential impact on our business, there can be no assurance that our estimates and assumptions used in our impairment tests will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. If our assumptions regarding forecasted cash flows are not achieved, it is possible that an impairment review may be triggered and goodwill may be determined to be impaired.
Share-BasedStock-Based Compensation
Share-basedStock-based compensation cost is determined usingaccounted for under the fair value method as prescribed in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)provisions of FASB Codification No. 718,Compensation – Stock Compensation(“ (“ASC 718”), the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting bulletin No. 107 ("SAB 107"), and the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 ("SAB 110"). UnderASC 718 requires all stock-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized as expense over the vesting period using a fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718 compensation cost is measured at the grant date based onmethod. We estimate the fair value of the award and is recognized over the award vesting period. We determine the fair value of each stock option at the date of grantstock-based compensation using the Black-Scholes options pricing model. This model requires that we estimate a risk-free interest rate, the volatility of the price of our common stock, the dividend yield, and the expected life of the options.awards. The use of a different estimate for any one of these components could have a material impact on the amount of calculated compensation expense. Refer to Note 22(s) and Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion on stock-based compensation.

22


Income Taxes
We use the liability method of accountingaccount for income taxes which requires recognition of temporary differences between financial statement and incomeunder the liability method. Deferred tax basis of assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured byusing enacted tax rates. We have recorded deferred tax assets for certain state operating loss carryforwards and nondeductible accruals.rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We established a valuation allowance related to certain of our state operating loss carryforward amounts in accordance with the provisions of FASB Codification No. 740,Income Taxes(“ (“ASC 740”). We continually review the adequacy of the valuation allowance and recognize the benefits of deferred tax assets if reassessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized based on earnings forecasts in the respective state tax jurisdictions. We had net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) in fiscal years 20102011 and 20092010 of approximately $18.8$10.9 million and $22.3$18.8 million, respectively, for state tax purposes andwith a related valuation allowance against the NOLs of approximately $108.4 thousand at $0.1 million as of both July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010 and $24.5 thousand as of June 27, 2009.. These net loss carryforwards expire at various intervals through 2030.
As of July 3, 2010,2, 2011, we had $2.9$0.9 million of charitable contribution carryforwards for federal income tax purposes, of which $1.6 million expires in fiscal year 2012, $1.2$0.8 million expires in fiscal year 2013 and $95 thousand$0.1 million expires in fiscal year 2014. The future charitable contribution deduction isin limited to 10% of taxable income for each year. Based uponon our current year taxable income as well as our forecasts, of future taxable income, we expect that we will have sufficient profitstaxable income to use all of the charitable contributions before they expire. Therefore, in the third quarter of fiscal year 2010, we reversed a priordetermined that no valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset associated with the charitable contribution carryforward.carryforward is required. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
For information regarding recently issued accounting standards, refer to Note 2(z)2(aa) and 2(aa)Note 2(ab) to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

ITEM 7A.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
ITEM 6A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Commodity Risk Sensitivity
We have a supply agreement with Parkdale America, LLC (“Parkdale”) to supply our yarn requirements until December 31, 2011. Under the supply agreement, we purchase from Parkdale all of our yarn requirements for use in our manufacturing operations, excluding yarns that Parkdale does not manufacture or cannot manufacture due to temporary capacity constraints. The purchase price of yarn is based upon the cost of cotton plus a fixed conversion cost.Thus, we are subject to the commodity risk of cotton prices and cotton price movements, which could result in unfavorable yarn pricing for us. We fix the cotton prices as a component of the purchase price of yarn, pursuant to the supply agreement, in advance of the shipment of finished yarn from Parkdale. Prices are set according to prevailing prices, as reported by the New York Cotton Exchange, at the time we elect to fix specific cotton prices.
Yarn with respect to which we have fixed cotton prices at July 3, 20102, 2011 was valued at $31.3$63.5 million, and is scheduled for delivery between July 20102011 and MarchDecember 2011. At July 3, 2010,2, 2011, a 10% decline in the market price of the cotton covered by our fixed price yarn would have had a negative impact of approximately $2.4$5.1 million on the value of the yarn. This compares to what would have been a negative impact of $1.6$2.4 million at the 20092010 fiscal year end based on the yarn with fixed cotton prices at June 27, 2009.July 3, 2010. The impact of a 10% decline in the market price of the cotton covered by our fixed price yarn would have been greater at July 2, 2011 than at July 3, 2010 than at June 27, 2009 due to increased commitments and higher cotton prices at July 2, 2011 compared to July 3, 2010 compared to June 27, 2009..
We may use derivatives, including cotton option contracts, to manage our exposure to movements in commodity prices. We do not designate our options as hedge instruments upon inception. Accordingly, we mark to market changes in the fair market value of the options in cost of sales in the statements of income. We did not own any cotton options contracts on July 2, 2011 or July 3, 2010 or June 27, 2009..
We are currently in negotiations to secure a new agreement to supply our yarn requirements. We do not believe we will lose any competitive position we currently have with a new agreement.If Parkdale’s operations are disrupted and it is not able to provide us with our yarn requirements, we may need to obtain yarn from alternative sources. Although alternative sources are presently available, we may not be able to enter into short-term arrangements with substitute suppliers on terms as favorable as our current terms with Parkdale. In addition, the cotton futures we have fixed with Parkdale may not be transferable to alternative yarn suppliers. Because there can be no assurance that we would be able to pass along our higher cost of yarn to our customers, this could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
Interest Rate Sensitivity
Our U.S. revolving credit agreements providefacility provides that the outstanding amounts owed shall bear interest at variable rates. If the amount of outstanding indebtedness at July 3, 20102, 2011 under the revolvingU.S.revolving credit facility had been outstanding during the entire year and

23


the interest rate on this outstanding indebtedness was increased by 100 basis points, our expense would have increased by approximately $0.6$0.7 million, or 17.4%29.0%, for the fiscal year. This compares to an increase of $0.8$0.6 million, or 17.2%17.4%, for the 20092010 fiscal year based on the outstanding indebtedness at June 27, 2009.July 3, 2010. The effect of a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would have had a smallerhigher dollar impact for the year-endedyear ended July 2, 2011 compared to the year ended July 3, 2010 compared to the year-ended June 27, 2009 due to the lowerhigher debt levels outstanding on July 3, 2010. However, the2, 2011. The percentage increase is more significant for fiscal year 2011 than for fiscal year 2010 is higher because our total interest expense for fiscal year 20102011 was lower than our total interest expense for fiscal year 2009.2010. The actual increase in interest expense resulting from a change in interest rates would depend on the magnitude of the increase in rates and the average principal balance outstanding.
Derivatives
On April 1, 2009,From time to time, we entered into anmay use interest rate swap agreement which effectively converted $15.0 million of floating rate debt underswaps or other instruments to manage our credit facility to a fixed obligation with a LIBOR rate of 1.57%. This agreement will mature (or expire) on April 1, 2011. On March 1, 2010, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement which effectively converted $15.0 millionexposure and reduce the impact of floatingfuture interest rate debt under our credit facility to a fixed obligation with a LIBOR rate of 1.11%. This agreement will mature (or expire) on September 1, 2011. We have assessed these agreementschanges. See Note 2(y) and concluded that the swap agreements match the exact terms of the underlying debt to which they are related and therefore are considered perfectly-effective hedges.
Changes in the derivatives’ fair values are deferred and are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), net of income taxes, until the underlying transaction is recorded. When the hedged item affects income, gains or losses are reclassified from AOCINote 15(d) to the Consolidated Financial Statements of Operations as interest income/expense. Any ineffectiveness infor more information on our hedging relationships is recognized immediately in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The changes in fair value of the interest rate swap and collar agreements resulted in AOCI, net of taxes, of a gain of $0.5 million as of July 3, 2010 and AOCI, net of taxes, of a loss of $0.1 million as of June 27, 2009.derivatives.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of Delta Apparel, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of July 3, 20102, 2011 based on the framework inInternal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The scope of our efforts to comply with the internal requirements of Section 404 Rulesof the Sarbanes-Oxely Act of 2002 with respect to fiscal year 20102011 included all of our operations. Based on our evaluation, our management has concluded that, as of July 3, 2010,2, 2011, our internal control over financial reporting is effective.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of July 3, 20102, 2011 has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, who also audited our consolidated financial statements. Ernst & Young’s attestation report on our internal controls over financial reporting is included herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Delta Apparel, Inc. and subsidiaries
We have audited Delta Apparel, Inc. and subsidiaries’subsidiaries' internal control over financial reporting as of July 3, 2010,2, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control—IntegratedControl-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Delta Apparel, Inc. and subsidiaries’subsidiaries' management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’sManagement's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’scompany's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’scompany's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’scompany's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’scompany's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, Delta Apparel, Inc. and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of July 3, 2010,2, 2011, based onthe COSO criteria.criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Delta Apparel, Inc. and subsidiaries as of July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010 and June 27, 2009 and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’shareholders' equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended July 3, 20102, 2011 of Delta Apparel, Inc. and subsidiaries, and our report dated September 1, 20102011 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Our distribution facilities are strategically located throughout the United States to better serve our customers.customers with same-day shipping on our catalog products and weekly replenishments for retailers.

NOTE 2—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of Presentation:Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Delta Apparel and its wholly owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. TheWe apply the equity method of accounting is used for investments in companies where we have less than a 50% ownership interest.interest and over which we exert significant influence. We do not exercise control over these companies norand do wenot have substantive participating rights. In addition,As such, these are not considered variable interest entities, and therefore, these investments are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.entities.
We manage our business in two distinct segments: Retail-Readybranded and Activewear.basics. Although the two segments are similar in their production processes and regulatory environment, they are distinct in their economic characteristics, products and distribution methods.
(b) Fiscal Year:We operate on a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to June 30. The 2011 fiscal year was a 52-week year and ended on July 2, 2011. The 2010 fiscal year was a 53-week year and ended on July 3, 2010. The 2009 and 2008 fiscal years wereyear was a 52-week yearsyear and ended on June 27, 2009 and June 28, 2008, respectively.2009.
(c) Use of Estimates:The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are adjusted to reflect actual experience when necessary. Significant estimates and assumptions affect many items in our financial statements, for example: allowance for doubtful trade receivables, sales returns and allowances, inventory obsolescence, the carrying value of goodwill, stock-based compensation and income tax assets and related valuation allowance. Our actual results may differ from our estimates.
(d) Revenue Recognition:We recognizeRevenues from product sales are recognized when the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, title has transferredownership is transfered to the customer, which includes not only the pricepassage of title, but also the transfer of the risk of loss related to the buyerproduct. At this point, the sales price is fixed and determinable, and we are reasonably assured of the collectibility is reasonably assured.of the sale. The majority of our sales are shipped FOB shipping point and revenue is therefore recognized when the goods are shipped to the customer. For sales that are shipped FOB destination point, we do not recognize the revenue until the goods are received by the customer. Shipping and handling charges billed to our customers are included in net revenue and the related costs are included in cost of goods sold. Revenues are reported on net sales basis, which is computed by deducting product returns, discounts and estimated returns and allowances. We estimate returns and allowances on an ongoing basis by considering historical results or losses and current trends. We record these costs as a reduction to net revenue.
(e) Sales Tax:Sales tax collected from customers and remitted to various government agencies are presented on a net basis (excluded from revenues) in the consolidated statements of operations.
(f) Cash and Cash Equivalents:Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash and temporary investments with original maturities of three months or less.

F-7


(g) Accounts Receivable:Accounts receivable consists primarily of receivables from our customers and we generally do not require collateral. We actively monitor our exposure to credit risk through the use of credit approvals and credit limits. During fiscal year 2009 we assigned a portion ofAt July 2, 2011, our tradenet accounts receivable at our Junkfood division under a factoring agreement. The factoring agreement was terminated effective on July 7, 2009. We accounted for our assignment$76.2 million, consisting of receivables under our factoring agreement as a sale$78.0 million in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Codification No. 860,Transfers and Servicing.The assignment of these receivables was without recourse, provided that the customer orders were approved by the factor prior to shipment of the goods, up to a maximum for each individual account. The agreement did not include provisions for advances from the factor against the assigned receivables. The factor funded the accounts receivable upon collection, or, exclusive of disputed claims, upon 90 days after the due date. The amount due from the factor was includedand $1.8 million in reserves. At July 3, 2010, our net accounts receivable on our consolidated balance sheets and changes in the amount due from factor are included in our cash flows from operations. At July 3, 2010, our trade accounts receivable less allowances was $59.9$59.9 million, consisting of $62.0 million in accounts receivable and $2.1 million in allowances. At June 27, 2009, our accounts receivable less allowances was $55.9 million, consisting of $57.3 million in unfactored accounts receivable, $1.6 million due from factor, and $3.0 million in allowances.reserves.
(h) Inventories:We state inventories at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method. Inventory cost includes materials, labor and manufacturing overhead on manufactured inventory, and all direct and associated costs, including inbound

F-7


freight, and the associated costs to acquire our sourced products. Estimated lossesWe regularly review inventory quantities on inventories representhand and record reserves for obsolescence, excess quantities, irregulars and slow moving inventory. We estimate lossesinventory based on the basis of our assessment of the inventory’s net realizable value based uponhistorical selling prices, current market conditions, and historical experience. The majority of our raw materials are readily available, and we are not dependent on a single supplier.forecasted product demand to reduce inventory to its net realizable value. See Note 2(x) for further information regarding yarn procurements.
(i) Property, Plant and Equipment:Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. We depreciate and amortize our assets on a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to twenty years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvements. Assets that we acquire under non-cancelable leases that meet the criteria of capital leases are capitalized in property, plant and equipment and amortized over the useful lives of the related assets. When we retire or dispose of assets, the costs and accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the respective accounts and we recognize any related gain or loss. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to expense when incurred. Major replacements that substantially extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated.
(j) Internally Developed Software Costs.We account for internally developed software in accordance with FASB Codification No. 350-40,Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, Internal-Use Software. After technical feasibility has been established, we capitalize the cost of our software development process, including payroll and payroll benefits, by tracking the software development hours invested in the software projects. We amortize our software development costs in accordance with the estimated economic life of the software, which is generally three to ten years.
(k) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets (Including Amortizable Intangible Assets):In accordance with FASB Codification No. 360,Property, Plant, and Equipment, our long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. When evaluating assets for potential impairment, we compare the carrying amount of the asset to the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If impairment is indicated, the asset is permanently written down to its estimated fair market value (based upon future discounted cash flows) and an impairment loss is recognized. During fiscal year 2009, we closed the Soffe textile production in our Fayetteville, North Carolina facility and moved this production into our existing Maiden and Ceiba Textiles facilities. No impairment losses were required to be recorded in connection with the closing of the Fayetteville, North Carolina textile operations. See Note 15 for further discussion on the restructuring activities and impairment loss.
(l) Goodwill and Intangibles:We haverecorded goodwill and intangibles with a definite life,lives, including the trade namenames and trademarks, customer relationships, non-compete agreements, and goodwill recorded associated with the acquisition of Junkfood Clothing Company. Additional intangible assets with a definite life, including technology, and non-compete agreements, in conjunction with the acquisitions of Junkfood Clothing Company and goodwill have been recorded related to the acquisition of Art Gun, which was completed in the third quarter of fiscal year 2010.Gun. Intangible assets are amortized based on their estimated economic lives, ranging from fivefour to twenty years, as detailed in Note 6 — Goodwill and Intangible Assets.years. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net identified tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired, and areis not amortized. The total amount of goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. See Note 6 — Goodwill and Intangible Assets for further details.
(m) Impairment of Goodwill:We evaluate the carrying value of goodwill annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that an impairment loss may have occurred. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to,

F-8


a significant adverse change in business climate, increased competition or other economic conditions. Under FASB Codification No. 350,Intangibles — Goodwill and Other ("ASC 350"), goodwill is tested at a reporting unit level. As of the beginning of fiscal year 2011, Junkfood and Art Gun arewere the only reporting units with recorded goodwill. The impairment test involves a two-step process. The first step involves comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to which the goodwill is assigned to its carrying amount. If this comparison indicates that a reporting unit’s estimated fair value is less than its carrying value, a second step is required. If applicable, the second step requires us to allocate the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit’s net assets, with any fair value in excess of amounts allocated to such net assets representing the implied fair value of goodwill for that reporting unit. If the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, the carrying value is written down by an amount equal to such excess.
The goodwill impairment testing process involves the use of significant assumptions, estimates and judgments, and is subject to inherent uncertainties and subjectivity. Estimating a reporting unit’s discounted cash flows involves the use of significant assumptions, estimates and judgments with respect to a variety of factors, including sales, gross margin andmargins, selling, general and administrative rates,expenses, capital expenditures, cash flows and the selection of an appropriate discount rate. Projected sales, gross marginrate, all of which are subject to inherent uncertainties and selling, general and administrative expense ratesubjectivity. When we perform goodwill impairment testing, our assumptions and capital expenditures are based on our annual business plans and other forecasted results. Discount ratesWe select a discount rate, which is used to reflect market-based estimates of the risks associated with the projected cash flows, of the reporting unit directly resulting from the use of its assets in its operations. These estimates are based on the best information available to us as of the date of the impairment assessment.
We completed our annualAt the end of each reporting period, we are required to remeasure the fair value of the contingent consideration related to the Art Gun acquisition in accordance with FASB Codification No. 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Based on the operating results and projections for Art Gun, we analyzed and concluded that the fair value of the contingent consideration was de minimis, resulting in a $1.5 million favorable adjustment recorded in the fiscal quarter ended January 1, 2011. The change in fair value of the contingent consideration created an indicator of impairment for the goodwill associated with Art Gun.  In accordance with ASC 350, we performed an interim impairment test of goodwill as of December 31, 2009.the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2011.  Under the first step of the impairment analysis for Art Gun, we considered both the income approach, which estimates the fair value based on the future discounted cash flows, and the market approach, which estimates the fair value based on comparable market prices.prices, both of which fall in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.  The results of step one of the impairment test indicated that the carrying

value of the Art Gun reporting unit exceeded its fair value.  The second step of the impairment test required us to allocate the estimated fair value of Junkfood,Art Gun to the estimated fair value of Art Gun's net assets, with any fair value in excess of amounts allocated to such net assets representing the implied fair value of goodwill. The result indicated that the goodwill at Art Gun was fully impaired, resulting in a reporting unit$0.6 million impairment charge recorded in the fiscal quarter ended January 1, 2011. The change in contingent consideration and goodwill impairment charge resulted in a net favorable adjustment of $0.9 million, which is included in the Retail-Ready segment, was determined based on the income approach and then compared to the results of the market approach for reasonableness. We assumed a cash flow period of four and a half years with a residual growth rate of 3%. We used a discount rate of 16.5%, consistent with the prior year impairment analysis. We did not identify any impairment as a result of the test.
Although our sales growth and improved profitability during fiscal year 2010 would not indicate a need to test for impairment between our annual tests, we noted the general deterioration in the economic environment and the resultant decline in our market capitalization. As such, we estimatedbranded segment.   At July 2, 2011, the fair value of allthe contingent consideration was remeasured based on Art Gun's current operating results and projections and remained de minimis.
We completed our annual impairment test of goodwill on the first day of our reporting units by discounting their estimated future cash flowsthird fiscal quarter using actual results through the last day of the second fiscal quarter. Based on the valuation, there does not appear to present value and reconciledbe impairment on the aggregate estimated fair value of all reporting units togoodwill associated with Junkfood, the trading value ofonly remaining goodwill recorded on our common stock, noting a reasonable control premium.financial statements.
Given the current macro-economic environment and the uncertainties regarding its potential impact on our business, there can be no assurance that our estimates and assumptions used in our impairment tests will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. If our assumptions regarding forecasted cash flows are not achieved, it is possible that an impairment review may be triggered and goodwill may be determined to be impaired.
(n) Self-Insurance Reserves:Our medical, prescription and dental care benefits are primarily self-insured. Our self-insurance accruals are based on claims filed and estimates of claims incurred but not reported. We develop estimates of claims incurred but not reported based upon the historical time it takes for a claim to be reported and historical claim amounts. We had self-insurance reserves of approximately $777,000$0.6 million and $636,000$0.8 million at July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, and June 27, 2009, respectively.
(o) Income Taxes:We account for income taxes under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
(p) Cost of Goods Sold:We include in cost of goods sold all manufacturing and sourcing costs incurred prior to the receipt of finished goods at our distribution facilities. The cost of goods sold principally includes product cost, purchasing costs, inbound freight charges, insurance, and inventory write-downs. Our gross margins may not be comparable to other companies, since some entities include costs related to their distribution network in cost of goods sold and we exclude them from gross margin, including them instead in selling, general and administrative expenses.
(q) Selling, General and Administrative Expense:We include in selling, general and administrative expenses, costs incurred subsequent to the receipt of finished goods at our distribution facilities, such as the cost of stocking, warehousing,

F-9


picking and packing, and shipping goods for delivery to our customers. Distribution costs included in selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $14.3 million, $14.0 million $13.6 million and $14.3$13.6 million in fiscal years 2011, 2010 2009 and 2008,2009, respectively. In addition, selling, general and administrative expenses include costs related to sales associates, administrative personnel cost, advertising and marketing expenses, royalty payments on licensed products, and other general and administrative expenses.
(r) Advertising Costs:All costs associated with advertising and promoting our products are expensed during the year in which they are incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. We participate in cooperative advertising programs with our customers. Depending on the customer, our defined cooperative programs allow the customer to use from 1% to 5% of its net purchases from us towards advertisements of our products. Because our products are being specifically advertised, we are receiving an identifiable benefit resulting from the consideration for cooperative advertising. Therefore, pursuant to FASB Codification No. 605-50,Revenue Recognition, Customers Payments and Incentives, we record our cooperative advertising costs as a selling expense based on the net sales sold under the cooperative program and the related cooperative advertising reserve balances are recorded as an accrued liabilities.liability. Advertising costs totaled $6.7 million, $5.3 million $4.4 million and $4.3$4.4 million in fiscal years 2011, 2010 2009 and 2008,2009, respectively. Included in these costs were $1.9 million, $2.2 million $1.9 million and $1.5$1.9 million in fiscal years 2011, 2010 2009 and 2008,2009, respectively, related to our cooperative advertising programs.
(s) Stock Option and Incentive Award Plans:Stock-Based Compensation:Stock-based compensation cost is accounted for under the provisions of FASB Codification NoNo. 718,Compensation Stock Compensation(“ (“ASC 718”), the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletinbulletin No. 107 (“("SAB 107”107"), and the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 (“("SAB 110”110"). ASC 718 requires all share-basedstock-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized as expense over the vesting period using a fair value method. We estimate the fair value of stock-based compensation using the Black-Scholes optionoptions pricing model. We recognize this fair value, net of estimated forfeitures, as a component of cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations over the vesting period.
(t) Earnings (Loss) per Share:We compute basic earnings per share by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year pursuant to FASB Codification No 260,Earnings Per Share(“ (“ASC 260”). Diluted earnings

F-9


per share is calculated, as set forth in ASC 260, by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for the issuance of potentially dilutive shares. Potential dilutive shares consist of common stock issuable under the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and awards using the treasury stock method. This method, as required by FASB Codification No 718,Compensation — Stock Compensation, assumes that the potential common shares are issued and the proceeds from the exercise, along with the amount of compensation expense attributable to future services, are used to purchase common stock at the exercise date. The difference between the number of potential shares issued and the number of shares purchased is added as incremental shares to the actual number of shares outstanding to compute diluted earnings per share. Outstanding stock options and awards that result in lower potential shares issued than shares purchased under the treasury stock method are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share since their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share. For fiscal year 2010, weighted average shares from stock options and awards totaling 88,000 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share since their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share.
(u) Foreign Currency Translation:Our functional currency for our foreign operated manufacturing facilities is the United States dollar. We remeasure those assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies using exchange rates in effect at each balance sheet date. Fixed assets and the related accumulated depreciation or amortization charges are recorded at the exchange rates in effect on the date we acquired the assets. Revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured using average exchange rates for all periods presented. We recognize the resulting foreign exchange gains and losses as a component of other income and expense in the consolidated statements of operations. These gains and losses are immaterial for all periods presented.
(v) Fair Value of Financial Instruments:We use financial instruments in the normal course of our business. The carrying values approximate fair values for financial instruments that are short-term in nature, such as cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable. We estimate that the carrying value of our long-term debt approximates fair value based on the current rates offered to us for debt of the same remaining maturities.
(w) Other Comprehensive Income (Loss): Other Comprehensive Income consists of net income and unrealized gains (losses) from cash flow hedges, net of tax, and is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity. Accumulated other comprehensive loss contained in the shareholders’ equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets in fiscal years 2011 and 2010 consisted of $14 thousand and $0.1 million, respectively, for one interest rate swap agreement in fiscal year 2011 and two interest rate swap agreements in fiscal year 2010.
(x) Yarn and Cotton Procurements:We have a supply agreement with Parkdale America, LLC (“Parkdale”) to supply our yarn requirements until December 31, 2011. Under the supply agreement, we purchase from Parkdale all of our yarn requirements for use in our manufacturing operations, excluding yarns that Parkdale does not manufacture or cannot manufacture due to temporary capacity constraints. The purchase price of yarn is based upon the cost of cotton plus a fixed conversion cost.Thus, we are subject to the commodity risk of cotton prices and cotton price movements, which could result in unfavorable yarn pricing for us. We fix the cotton prices as a component of the purchase price of yarn, pursuant to the

F-10


supply agreement, in advance of the shipment of finished yarn from Parkdale. Prices are set according to prevailing prices, as reported by the New York Cotton Exchange, at the time we elect to fix specific cotton prices.We are currently in negotiations to secure a new agreement to supply our yarn requirements. We do not believe we will lose any competitive position we currently have with a new agreement.
(x)(y) Derivatives:From time to time, we enter into forward contracts, option agreements or other instruments to limit our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and raw material prices with respect to long-term debt and cotton purchases, respectively. We determine at inception whether the derivative instruments will be accounted for as hedges.
We account for derivatives and hedging activities in accordance with FASB Codification No 815,Derivatives and Hedging(“ (“ASC 815”), as amended. ASC 815 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and hedging activities. It requires the recognition of all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheetsconsolidated balance sheets and measurement of those instruments at fair value. The accounting treatment of changes in fair value depends upon whether or not a derivative instrument is designated as a hedge and, if so, the type of hedge. We include all derivative instruments at fair value in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. For derivative financial instruments related to the production of our products that are not designated as a hedge, we recognize the changes in fair value are recognized in income.cost of sales. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, to the extent effective, we recognize the changes in fair value are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged item is recognized in income. IneffectivenessAny ineffectiveness in the hedge is recognized immediately in income.income in the line item that is consistent with the nature of the hedged risk. We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking various hedge transactions, at the inception of thosethe transactions. For derivative financial instruments not designated as a hedge, we recognize the changes in
We are exposed to counterparty credit risks on all derivatives. Because these amounts are recorded at fair value, in costthe full amount of sales.our exposure is the carrying value of these instruments. We only enter into derivative transactions with well established institutions and therefore we believe the counterparty credit risk is minimal.
No raw material option agreements were purchased during fiscal year 2011, 2010 2009 or 2008. 2009. On April 1, 2009, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement which effectively converted $15.0 million of floating rate debt under our credit facility to a fixed obligation with a LIBOR rate of 1.57%. This agreement will mature (or expire)terminated on April 1, 2011. On March 1, 2010, we entered into an

interest rate swap agreement which effectively converted $15.0 million of floating rate debt under our credit facility to a fixed obligation with a LIBOR rate of 1.11%. This agreement will mature (or expire)terminate on September 1, 2011. We have assessed these agreements and concluded that the swap agreements match the exact terms of the underlying debt to which they areit is related and therefore areis considered perfectly-effective hedges.

See Note 15(d) - Derivatives for further details.
(y) Comprehensive (Loss) Income:Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income consists of net (loss) income and unrealized (losses) gains from cash flow hedges and is presented in(z) Reclassifications: We have made certain reclassifications to the Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity. Accumulated other comprehensive loss contained in the shareholders’ equity sectionpresentation of the prior year results in order to conform to the current year presentation. In our July 3, 2010 Consolidated Balance SheetsSheet, we have increased our current accrued expenses by $0.4 million with a corresponding decrease in fiscal years 2010accounts payable by $0.4 million in order to consistently classify the liabilities between accounts payable and accrued expenses. Also, in our 2009 consistedConsolidated Statement of $0.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively, for two interest rate swap agreements in fiscal year 2010 comparedCash Flows, we reclassified, to two interest rate swap agreements and an interest rate collar agreement in fiscal year 2009.
(z) Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:In December 2007, the FASB issued Codification No. 805,Business Combinations(“ASC 805”)show gross, our financing activities related to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a business combination and its effects. ASC 805 applies to all transactions or other events in which an entity obtains control of one or more businesses, and combinations achieved without the transfer of consideration. In February 2009, the FASB issued a position regarding ASC 805,Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies. This position requires an asset or liability arising from a contingency in a business combination to be recognized at fair value if fair value can be reasonably determined. If fair value cannot be reasonably determined, then the asset or liability will need to be recognized in accordance with ASC 450,Accounting for Contingencies. ASC 805, along with the position regarding ASC 805, is effective for business combinations for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We accounted for the Art Gun, LLC acquisition in accordance with ASC 805 on the acquisition date, December 28, 2009, which is described in Note 3 — Art Gun Acquisition. ASC 805 will impact our accounting for any future business combinations, but the effect will depend on the circumstances of the particular acquisition.
In April 2008, the FASB issued a position forDetermination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets under Codification No. 350,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets(“ASC 350”). The position amends the factors that must be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life over which to amortize the cost of a recognized intangible asset under ASC 350. ASC 350 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and the

F-11


interim periods within those fiscal years. We accounted for the Art Gun, LLC acquisition in accordance with ASC 350 on the acquisition date, December 28, 2009, which is described in Note 3 — Art Gun Acquisition. ASC 350 will impact our accounting for any future acquisitions of intangible assets, but the effect will depend on the circumstances of the particular acquisition.
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06,Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements(“ASU 2010-06”), an amendment to ASC Topic 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. This amendment requires an entity to: disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers, and present separate information for Level 3 activity pertaining to gross purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting beginning after December 15, 2009. We adopted ASU 2010-06 as of December 27, 2009, and the adoptiondeferred financing fees. These reclassifications had no impact on our financial position and results of operations.operations or financial position.
In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-09,Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements(“ASU 2010-09”), an amendment to ASC Topic 855,Subsequent Events. This amendment removed the requirement for an SEC registrant to disclose the date through which subsequent events are evaluated. This guidance was effective immediately and we adopted these new requirements for the period ended July 3, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2010-09 had no impact on our financial position and results of operations.
(aa) Recently IssuedAdopted Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted:Pronouncements:In June 2009, the FASB issued Codification No. 810-10,Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities(“ (“ASC 810-10”), and issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-17,Consolidations: Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities(“ASU 2009-17”), to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities. They require an entity to qualitatively assess the determination of the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) based on whether the entity (1) has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’sentity's economic performance and (2) has the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. They also require an ongoing reconsideration of the primary beneficiary, and amendsamend the events that trigger a reassessment of whether an entity is a VIE. Enhanced disclosures are also required to provide information about an entity’sentity's involvement in a VIE. ASC 810-10 and ASU 2009-17 are effective for annual reporting beginning after November 15, 2009. We adopted ASC 810-10 and ASU 2009-17 as of July 4, 2010, and the adoption had no impact on our financial statements..
(ab) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted: In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts (“ASU 2010-28”).  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 a goodwill impairment exists, an entity must consider whether there are currently evaluatingany adverse qualitative factors indicating an impairment may exist.  ASU 2010-28 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010.  ASU 2010-28 is therefore effective for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2012. Based on the effect thatcurrent carrying amount of our reporting units, we do not believe the adoption of ASU 2009-172010-28 will have on our financial position and results of operations, but do not expect that the adoption of ASU 2009-17 will have a materialan impact on our financial statements.
(bb) Subsequent Events:On July 12,In December 2010, through our newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary, TCX, LLC (“TCX”the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations (“ASU 2010-29”), we acquired substantially all. This standard update clarifies that, when presenting comparative financial statements, Securities and Exchange Commission registrants should disclose revenue and earnings of the net assets of HPM Apparel, Inc. d/b/a The Cotton Exchange pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated July 5, 2010. The Cotton Exchange designs and markets decorated casual apparel to college bookstores,combined entity as though the U.S. military and other retail accounts. We paid a total of $9.0 million for the net assetscurrent period business combinations had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The update also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business including accounts receivable, inventory, fixed assets and assumed certain liabilities. The purchase price is subject to a post-closing adjustment based on the actual working capital acquired. We expect to finalize the working capital adjustmentcombination included in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011. No goodwillreported pro forma revenue and earnings. ASU 2010-29 is effective prospectively for material (either on an individual or intangibles are expected to be recorded on the Company’s financial statementsaggregate basis) business combinations entered into in connection with this acquisition. We financed the acquisition under our existing asset-based secured revolving credit facility with no changes to the underlying terms of the credit facility.
NOTE 3—ACQUISITIONS
Art Gun Acquisition
On December 28, 2009, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Art Gun, LLC (“Art Gun”), we acquired substantially all of the net assets of Art Gun Technologies, LLC (“Art Gun Acquisition”). Through its innovative technology, Art Gun provides shoppers the ability to choose a basic garment and design a unique graphic to create a one-of-a-kind customized product. We purchased the associated accounts receivable, inventory, fixed assets and intangibles of the business, and assumed certain liabilities. The aggregate consideration for the Art Gun Acquisition included $1.0 million paid in cash at closing, which was financed through our asset-based secured revolving credit facility. Additional amounts are due to the Art Gun sellers if performance targets are met by Art Gun during each of the fiscal years beginning on July 4,or after December 15, 2010 with early adoption permitted. ASU 2010-29 is therefore effective for acquisitions made after the beginning of our fiscal year ending June 30, 2012. We expect that ASU 2010-29 may impact our disclosures for any future business combinations, but the effect will depend on acquisitions that may be made in the future.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and ending on July 1, 2017.
We have finalizedDisclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS ("ASU 2011-04"). The new guidance results in a consistent definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Additional disclosure requirements in ASU 2011-04 include: (a) 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; (b) for the assets acquireduse of a nonfinancial asset that is different from the asset’s highest and liabilities assumedbest use, the reason for the difference; (c) 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 have determined(d) the final allocationdisclosure of all transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the purchase price.fair value hierarchy. ASU 2011-04 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 and applied on a prospective basis. ASU 2011-04 is therefore effective for our fiscal year ending June 29, 2013 and we are currently evaluating the impact on our financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Presentation of Comprehensive Income

F-11


("ASU 2011-05"). This standard update requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In the two-statement approach, the first statement should present total net income and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that should present total other comprehensive income, the components of other comprehensive income, and the total of comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 and applied on a retrospective basis. ASU 2011-05 is therefore effective for our fiscal year ending June 29, 2013 and we do not expect the adoption to have a material effect on our financial position.

We identified and recorded certain intangible assets with definite lives, including technology and non-compete agreements, and goodwill associated with the Art Gun Acquisition. Art Gun is included in the consolidated financial statements since its acquisition on December 28, 2009.
To The Game Acquisition
Effective on March 29, 2009, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Gekko Brands, a premier supplier of licensed and decorated headwear sold under the brands of “The Game®” and “Kudzu®” (the “To The Game Acquisition”). No goodwill or intangibles were recorded in association with the purchase. We are operating To The Game, headquartered in Phenix City, Alabama, as a separate business within our Retail-Ready segment. The total purchase price was $5.7 million, with $5.0 million paid at closing and $0.7 million due 120 days after closing, which was paid in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010. We allocated the purchase price (including direct acquisition costs) to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on theirdetermined fair values using one or more of the following valuation techniques, all of which are considered level two inputs based on the fair value hierarchy: (a) market approach using prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities; or (b) cost approach using amounts that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset. Based onWe financed the acquisitions completed in fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009 using our purchase price allocation, no value was placed on fixed assets, intangibles or goodwill. The acquisition was financed through ourU.S. asset-based secured revolving credit facility. In conjunction with the acquisition, we exercised the accordion feature under our existing credit facility, bringing the maximum line of credit to $110 million, subject to borrowing base restrictions. To The Game isacquisitions are included in the consolidated financial statements in our branded segment since the acquisition date.
The Cotton Exchange Acquisition
On June 11, 2010, we formed a new North Carolina limited liability company, TCX, LLC, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of M.J. Soffe, LLC. Pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated July 5, 2010, on July 12, 2010, TCX acquired substantially all of the net assets of HPM Apparel, Inc. d/b/a The Cotton Exchange, including accounts receivable, inventory, and fixed assets, and assumed certain liabilities. The total purchase price, which included a post-closing working capital adjustment, was $9.9 million. We finalized the valuation for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and have determined the final allocation of the purchase price. No goodwill or other intangible assets were recorded in conjunction with the acquisition of The Cotton Exchange.
Art Gun Acquisition
On December 28, 2009, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Art Gun, LLC, we acquired substantially all of the net assets of Art Gun Technologies, LLC. Through its innovative technology, Art Gun provides shoppers the ability to choose a basic garment and design a unique graphic to create a one-of-a-kind customized product. We purchased the associated accounts receivable, inventory, fixed assets and intangibles of the business, and assumed certain liabilities. The aggregate consideration for the acquisition of Art Gun included $1.0 million paid in cash at closing. Additional amounts are due to the Art Gun sellers if performance targets are met by Art Gun during each of the fiscal years beginning on July 4, 2010 and ending on July 1, 2017.
We identified and recorded certain intangible assets with definite lives, including technology and non-compete agreements, and goodwill in conjunction with the acquisition of Art Gun. See Note 6 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets for details and Note 2(m) - Impairment of Goodwill for further discussion.

On September 21, 2007,May 27, 2011, Delta Apparel, Soffe, Junkfood, To The Game, Art Gun and SoffeTCX entered into a ThirdFourth Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amended Loan Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, successor by merger to Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Agent, and the financial institutions named in the Amended Loan Agreement as Lenders. The Amended Loan Agreement provided usLenders, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, Bank of America, N.A., as Syndication Agent, Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC, as Sole Lead Arranger, and Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as Joint Bookrunners. In connection with a $100 million credit line (subject to borrowing base limitations based on the value and type of collateral provided) that matures on September 12, 2012.

Proceedsand Bank of America, N.A. was added to the syndicate of lenders.
Pursuant to the Amended Loan Agreement, the maturity of the loans under the previously existing credit facility was extended to May 26, 2016 and the line of credit was increased to $145 million (subject to borrowing base limitations), which represents an increase of $35 million in the amount that was previously available under the credit facility.

We paid $1.4 million in financing costs in conjunction with the Amended Loan Agreement.
The credit facility is secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the real and personal property of Delta Apparel, Junkfood, Soffe, To The Game, Art Gun, and TCX. All loans under the credit agreement bear interest at rates, at the Company's option, based on either (a) an adjusted LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin or (b) a bank’s primebase rate plus an applicable margin.margin, with the base rate equal to the greatest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (ii) the LIBOR rate plus 1.0%, or (iii) the prime rate announced by Wells Fargo, National Association. The facility requires monthly installment payments of approximately $0.2 million in connection with fixed asset amortizations, and these amounts reduce the amount of availability under the facility. Annual facility fees are ..25%0.25% or 0.375% (subject to average excess availability) of the amount by which $110$145 million exceeds the average daily principal balance of the outstanding loans and letters of credit accommodations andaccommodations. The annual facility fees are charged monthly based on the principal balances during the immediately preceding month.
At July 2, 2011, we had $75.9 million outstanding under our credit facility at an average interest rate of 1.8%, and had the ability

to borrow an additional $59.1 million.Our credit facility includes the financial covenant that if the amount of availability falls below $10an amount equal to 12.5% of the lesser of the borrowing base or $145 million, our Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (“FCCR”) (as defined in the Amended Loan Agreement) for the preceding 12 month period must not be less than 1.1 to 1.0 and otherwise1.0. In addition, the credit facility includes customary conditions to funding, representations and warranties, covenants, and events of default. As of July 3, 2010, our FCCR was 4.0x for the preceding 12 months, thus exceeding the 1.1 to 1.0 requirement allowing access, if needed, the total amount of availability provided for under the Amended Loan Agreement. We expect to continue to meet the FCCR for fiscal year 2011. At July 3, 2010, we had $61.2 million outstanding under our credit facility at an average interest rate of 1.5%The covenants include, among other things, limitations on asset sales, consolidations, mergers, liens, indebtedness, loans, investments, guaranties, acquisitions, dividends, stock repurchases, and had the ability to borrow an additional $35.5 million.transactions with affiliates.

The credit facility contains a subjective acceleration clause and a “springing” lockbox arrangement (as defined in ASC 470,Debt)470), whereby remittances from customers will be forwarded to our general bank account and will not reduce the outstanding debt until and unless a specified event or an event of default occurs. Pursuant to ASC 470, we classify borrowings under the facility as non-currentlong-term debt.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007,March 2011, we entered into a loan agreementextinguished our existing debt with Banco Ficohsa, a Honduran bank, for our capital expansionand entered into a new credit facility with them. Proceeds from the new loan agreement were used to extinguish the existing loan indebtedness and resulted in Honduras.no gain or loss being recorded upon extinguishment. The loandebt facility is secured by a first-priority lien on the assets of our Honduran operations. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009,operations and the loan was amended tois not guaranteed by the U.S. entity. The installment loan portion of the agreement carries a fixed interest rate of 6% through June 2010, at which time7% for a term of seven years and is denominated in U.S. dollars. During the interest rate increased to 6.5% for the remainderfirst 12 months of the term, beginningthe loan requires only monthly interest payments with no principal payments. Beginning in April 2012, ratable monthly principal and interest payments are due through the end of the term. As of July 2010.2, 2011, we had $5.8 million outstanding on this loan. The loan is payable monthly,revolving credit facility has a five-year7% fixed interest rate with an ongoing 18-month term and is denominated in U.S. dollars. AtThe revolving credit facility requires minimum payments of $1.7 million during each 6 month period of the 18-month term; however, the agreement permits additional drawdowns to the extent payments are made, if certain objective covenants are met. The new revolving Honduran debt, by its nature, is not long-term as it requires scheduled payments each six months. However, as the agreement permits us to re-borrow funds up to the amount repaid, subject to certain objective covenants, and we intend to re-borrow funds, subject to the objective criteria, the amounts have been classified as long-term debt. As of July 3, 2010,2, 2011, we had $6.9$5.0 million outstanding on this loan.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and amounts used for income tax purposes. TheWe have not provided deferred taxes on the $24.9 million of undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries where the earnings are considered to be indefinitelypermanently reinvested. Therefore, noThe undistributed earnings would become taxable in the United States if we decided to repatriate earnings for business, tax or foreign exchange reasons. If we made that decision, U.S. federal and state income taxes have beenwould be provided thereon, and itfor net of foreign taxes already paid.

As of July 3, 2010,2, 2011, we had $2.9$0.9 million of charitable contribution carryforwards for federal income tax purposes, of which $1.6 million expires in fiscal year 2012, $1.2$0.8 million expires in fiscal year 2013 and $95 thousand$0.1 million expires in fiscal year 2014. The future charitable contribution deduction isin limited to 10% of taxable income for each year. Based uponon our forecasts, we expect that we will have sufficient profitstaxable income to use all of the charitable contributions before they expire. Therefore, in the quarter ended March 27, 2010, we reversed a priordetermined that no valuation allowance in the amount of $353 thousand against the deferred tax asset associated with the charitable contribution carryforward.carryforward is required. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.
As of July 2, 2011, and July 3, 2010, and June 27, 2009, we had operating loss carryforwards of approximately $18.8$10.9 million and $22.3$18.8 million, respectively, for state purposes. These carryforwards expire at various intervals through 2030. Our deferred tax asset related to state net operating loss carryforwards is reduced by a valuation allowance to result in deferred tax assets we consider more likely than not to be realized. For the year ended July 3, 2010, theThere was no net change in the total valuation allowance for the state net operating loss carryforwards was an increase of $84 thousand.year ended July 2, 2011. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.
We adopted FASB Codification No. 740,Income Taxes(“ (“ASC 740”) on July 1, 2007. ASC 740 requires that a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. A recognized tax position is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The tax years 20062007 to 2009,2010, according to statute, remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject. Upon adoption of ASC 740, we did not have any material unrecognized tax benefits, nor did we have any material unrecognized tax benefits as of July 3, 2010.2, 2011. We recognize accrued interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as components of our income tax provision. We did not have any interest and penalties accrued upon adoption of ASC 740, nor did we have any interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as of July 3, 2010.2, 2011.

NOTE 11—EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
We sponsor and maintain a 401(k) retirement savings plan (the “401(k) Plan”) for our employees who meet certain service and age requirements. The 401(k) Plan permits participants to make pre-tax contributions by salary reduction pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The 401(k) Plan provides for us to make a guaranteed match of the employee’s contributions. We contributed approximately $1.1$1.2 million, $1.0$1.1 million and $1.0 million to the 401(k) Plan during fiscal years 2011, 2010, 2009, and 2008,2009, respectively.
We provide postretirement life insurance benefits for certain retired employees. The plan is noncontributory and is unfunded,

and therefore, benefits and expenses are paid from our general assets as they are incurred. All of the employees in the plan are fully vested and the plan was closed to new employees in 1990. The discount rate used in determining the liability was 6.0% for fiscal years 20102011 and 2009.2010.

NOTE 12—STOCK OPTIONS AND INCENTIVE STOCK AWARDSSTOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Effective in June 2000, we establishedOn November 11, 2010, the Delta Apparel, Inc. shareholders approved the Delta Apparel, Inc. 2010 Stock Plan ("2010 Stock Plan"). We will not be granting additional awards under either the Delta Apparel Stock Option Plan (the “Option Plan”("Option Plan") andor the Delta Apparel Incentive Stock Award Plan (the “Award Plan”("Award Plan").; instead, all future stock awards will be granted under the 2010 Stock Plan. We account for these plans pursuant to FASB Codification No.ASC 718, SAB 107 and SAB 110.
2010 Stock Plan
Under the 2010 Stock Plan, the Compensation – Stock Compensation(“ASC 718”), SecuritiesCommittee of our Board of Directors has the authority to determine the employees and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”),directors to whom awards may be granted and the Securitiessize and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 (“SAB 110”).
type of each award and manner in which such awards will vest. The awards available consist of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock, performance units, and cash awards. The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be delivered under the 2010 Stock Plan is 500,000 plus any shares of common stock subject to outstanding awards under the Option Plan or Award Plan that are subsequently forfeited or terminated for any reason before being exercised. The 2010 Stock Plan limits the number of shares that may be covered by awards to any participant in a given calendar year and also limits the aggregate awards of restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance stock granted in any given calendar year. If a participant dies or becomes disabled (as defined in the 2010 Stock Plan) while employed by or serving as a director, all unvested awards become fully vested. The Compensation Committee is authorized to establish the terms and conditions of awards granted under the 2010 Stock Plan, to establish, amend and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the 2010 Stock Plan, and to make any other determinations that it deems necessary.
UnderDuring fiscal year 2011, non-qualified stock options were granted for 50,000 shares of our common stock. Compensation expense is recorded on the cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expense line items in our statements of operations on a

straight-line basis over the vesting periods. In fiscal year 2011 we expensed $0.2 million in conjunction with our 2010 Stock Plan.
The following table summarizes the weighted average grant date fair values and assumptions that were used to estimate the grant date fair values using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model of the options granted during the fiscal year ended 2011:
     2011
Risk-free interest rate    2%
Expected life    4.0 yrs
Expected volatility    63%
Expected dividend yield    %
Weighted-average per share fair value of options granted    $6.25
The risk-free interest rate for the periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Due to minimal exercising of stock options historically, in 2011 we have estimated the expected life of options granted to be the midpoint between the average vesting term and the contractual term as permitted under SAB 107 and SAB 110. The expected volatility for the periods of the expected life of the option is determined using historical volatilities based on historical stock prices. The expected dividend yield is based on our expected annual dividend in relation to our historical average stock price.

While the Option Plan meets the requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 422 to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option (“ISO”) plan, the shares granted during fiscal years 2010, 2009 and 2008 were specified as being non-qualified stock options. At July 3, 2010, we had 304,000 shares available for grant under the Option Plan.

NOTE 15—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
(a) Litigation
At times we are party to various legal claims, actions and complaints. We believe that, as a result of legal defenses, insurance arrangements, and indemnification provisions with parties believed to be financially capable, such actions should not have a material effect on our operations, financial condition, or liquidity.

F-21


(b) Purchase Contracts
We have entered into agreements, and have fixed prices, to purchase yarn, natural gas, finished fabric and finished apparel and headwear products for use in our manufacturing operations. At July 3, 2010,2, 2011, minimum payments under these contracts were as follows (in thousands):

(c) Letters of Credit
As of July 3, 2010,2, 2011, we had outstanding standby letters of credit totaling $0.4 million and outstanding commercial letters of credit totaling $2.8$3.8 million.
(d) Derivatives
WeFrom time to time we may use interest rate swap and collar agreementsswaps or other instruments to manage our interest rate exposure and reduce the impact of future interest rate changes. We do not use these financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The following table includes information regardingOn April 1, 2011, our $15 million interest rate swap agreementsagreement at 1.57% matured. The outstanding financial instruments as of July 3, 2010:2, 2011 are as follows:

We account for derivatives under FASB Codification No. 815,Derivatives and Hedging(“ASC 815”). ASC 815 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and hedging activities. It requires the recognition of all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and measurement of those instruments at fair value. We have assessed these agreements and concluded that the swap and collar agreements match the exact terms of the underlying debt to which they are related and therefore are considered perfectly effective hedges. Therefore, changes in the derivatives’ fair values are deferred and recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. The changes in fair value of the interest rate swap and collar agreements resulted in an accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of taxes, of $0.1 million as of July 3, 2010.
FASB Codification No. 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures(“ (“ASC 820”), defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are grouped in three levels. The levels prioritize the inputs used to measure the fair value of the assets or liabilities. These levels are:
o
Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
o
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for assets and liabilities, either directly or indirectly. These inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in market that are less active.
o
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity for assets or liabilities reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions.and includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.

The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value. The fair value of the interest rate swap and collar agreementsagreement was derived from discounted cash flow analysesanalysis based on the terms of the contract and the forward interest rate curve adjusted for our credit risk. risk, which fall in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

We adopted the provisions of the fair value measurement accounting and disclosure guidance related to nonfinancial assets and liabilities recognized at fair value on a nonrecurring basis for the acquisitionacquisitions of The Cotton Exchange on July 12, 2010 and Art Gun on December 28, 2009. The assets and liabilities were measured at fair value upon acquisition and will be evaluated as needed as part of our impairment assessments and as circumstances require. The fair value measurement was made using the income approach and falls in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. We used the projected cash flows, discounted as necessary, to estimate the fair value of the intangibles and contingent consideration.consideration for Art Gun. Accordingly, thesethe fair value measurements fallmeasurement for contingent consideration falls in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. These assets and liabilities are measuredThe contingent consideration for Art Gun is remeasured at the end of each reporting period. Additionally, we remeasured the Art Gun goodwill to fair value on a nonrecurring basis as part of our impairment assessments and as circumstances require.
