These acquisitions added well-recognized brands and 2007 fiscal years were 52-week years and ended on June 27, 2009, June 28, 2008, and June 30, 2007, respectively.
Effective on December 31, 2008, our wholly-owned subsidiary, M.J. Soffe, Co., converted from a North Carolina corporation to a North Carolina limited liability company and changed its name to M.J. Soffe, LLC.
ACQUISITIONS AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTS
To The Game Acquisition
Effective on March 29, 2009, through our new wholly-owned subsidiary, To The Game, LLC, 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”). We are operating To The Game, headquartered in Phenix City, Alabama, as a separate business within our Retail-Ready segment. The Game® and Kudzu® have extensive license agreements, including agreements with most major colleges and universities, motorsports properties Churchill Downs, and various resort properties.
We purchased associated inventory, accounts receivables, trademarks, and fixed assets of the business, and assumed certain liabilities. No value was assigned to fixed assets, goodwill or intangibles with the purchase. The aggregate consideration paid for the To The Game Acquisition was $5.7 million in cash, consisting of $5.0 million paid at closing and an additional $0.7 million paid subsequent to our fiscal year end.portfolio, expanded our product offerings and broadened our distribution channels and customer base.

On January 28, 2009, we announced our plans to close our textile manufacturing plant in Fayetteville, North Carolina and we ceased production at that plant in May 2009. We consolidated this textile production into our operations in Maiden, North Carolina and our Ceiba Textiles facility in Honduras. The closing of this operation leaves us with only one remaining U.S. textile production operation, our Maiden facility. We expect that the closing of our Fayetteville, North Carolina textile operation will save us approximately $1 million annually, and we should begin realizing the savings in our results of operations in the second half of fiscal year 2010.
Restructuring Plan
On July 18, 2007, we announced an overall restructuring plan which included the closing of our Fayette, Alabama manufacturing facility, the expensing of excess manufacturing costs associated with the FunTees manufacturing integration, and the expensing of start-up costs stemming from the opening of our Honduran textile facility. The restructuring plan began in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007 and was completed in the third quarter of fiscal year 2008. Expenses associated with the restructuring plan impacted our financials as follows:

In July 2007, we announced plans to close our manufacturing facility in Fayette, Alabama, and we ceased production at the facility in September 2007. During our fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007, we recorded a $1.5 million impairment charge, or $0.11 per diluted share, related to impairment on the plant and equipment in Fayette, Alabama. During the first half of fiscal year 2008, we incurred expenses totaling $1.0 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, associated with the closing of this textile facility.
In connection with the integration of the textile operations of the FunTees business into our Maiden, North Carolina textile facility, we expensed start-up and excess manufacturing costs totaling $7.7 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, during fiscal years 2007 and 2008. In addition, during fiscal year 2008, we expensed $1.6 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, associated with the start-up of our Honduran textile facility, Ceiba Textiles.
FunTees Acquisition
On October 2, 2006, we completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of FunTees, Inc. and its business of selling private label knit custom t-shirts (the “FunTees Acquisition”). The assets acquired included substantially all of the equipment, inventories, and accounts receivable of the FunTees business. The aggregate consideration paid for the FunTees Acquisition was $21.8 million in cash, consisting of $20.0 million paid at closing and an additional $1.8 million paid on April 12, 2007 as an adjustment for the actual working capital purchased.
We integrated the FunTees textile operations into our Maiden, North Carolina facility during fiscal year 2007 and have maintained the FunTees offshore cutting, sewing and decorating facilities located in El Salvador and Campeche, Mexico. FunTees, a division of our Activewear segment, designs, manufactures, embellishes, and sells private label custom knit t-shirts primarily to major branded sportswear companies. We believe the strength of FunTees lies in its long-term customer relationships, built through providing them with quality products and service levels that meet their demands. We achieve this through our flexibility to custom-manufacture products in a variety of garment styles, fabrics and colors. We can decorate and package these products for retail in our offshore facilities, offering quality garments at competitive prices.
Offshore Textiles
During fiscal year 2007, we began our offshore textile manufacturing initiatives. In November 2007, we began production at Ceiba Textiles, our state-of-the-art textile facility located in the Green Valley Industrial Park near San Pedro Sula, Honduras. At this facility, we knit, dye, finish and cut fabrics for apparel for business units within both our Activewear and Retail-Ready segments. We are leasing the building from the Green Valley Industrial Park. We have a 15% ownership in the joint venture that constructed and operates the Green Valley Industrial Park (“Green Valley Joint Venture”). In addition to transferring some of our existing equipment from the United States, we invested $16.7 million in new equipment for the facility. Of the capital invested in the facility, $15.0 million is being financed through a local Honduran bank. In June 2008, we reached our initial goal of 500,000 pounds of production per week and continued the build of production in fiscal year 2009, reaching the capacity with the existing equipment of approximately 750,000 pounds per week. At this production level, the facility is saving us approximately $3.5 million annually over U.S. production costs. We should realize this savings in our results of operations in fiscal year 2010.
We can further expand our capacity at Ceiba Textiles to one million pounds per week with an estimated capital investment of $2 million to $3 million for additional equipment. We believe that we could save an additional $4 million annually compared to U.S. textile cost with this expansion. We expect to begin this expansion if we build product demand to support the increased production.
Junkfood Acquisition
On August 22, 2005, we acquired substantially all of the assets and properties of Liquid Blaino Designs, Inc. d/b/a Junkfood Clothing, a California-based designer, distributor and marketer of branded apparel. Junkfood has gained brand recognition through its soft, weathered fabrications incorporating retro and contemporary pop culture images as well as original artwork. We operate Junkfood, headquartered in Los Angeles, California, as a separate business within our Retail-Ready segment. At closing, we paid $20 million in cash and issued a promissory note to the sellers for $2.5 million. The purchase price was subject to a post-closing adjustment of $4.4 million based on the actual working capital purchased, which we paid in fiscal year 2006. Also, additional amounts were payable to the Junkfood sellers if performance targets were met 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

4


year subsequent to attaining the performance target. In fiscal years 2009 and 2007, we paid approximately $3.3 million and $2.6 million, respectively, as a result of the Earnout Provisions. Performance targets were not met for the earnout periods ended June 30, 2007 or June 27, 2009.
Soffe Acquisition
On October 3, 2003, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of M. J. Soffe Co., a North Carolina corporation. M.J. Soffe, Co. was founded in 1946 and has a long history of profitability and growth in the branded activewear market. The Soffe® brand is well recognized at sporting goods retailers and department stores. In addition, Soffe supplies college bookstores and produces activewear products for the U.S. military. We operate Soffe, headquartered in Fayetteville, North Carolina, as a separate business within our Retail-Ready segment. In connection with the acquisition, we paid approximately $43.5 million in cash, issued a promissory note to the selling individuals in the aggregate principal amount of $8.0 million and paid approximately $8.5 million to satisfy all outstanding bank debt of M. J. Soffe Co. Also, additional amounts were payable to the selling individuals in cash during each of fiscal years 2005, 2006 and 2007 if specified financial performance targets were met by M. J. Soffe Co. during annual periods beginning on September 28, 2003 and ending on September 30, 2006 (the “Earnout Amounts”). In fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005, we paid approximately $2.3 million, $1.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively, in Earnout Amounts.

Our headwear products are primarily sourced based on customer orders; however we carry certain styles in inventory to support quick-turn shipments. We offer same-day shipping on our catalog goods within our Activewear segment, and both segments use third party carriers to ship products to our customers. 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 sell our products in highly competitive domestic and international markets in which numerous United States-based and foreign apparel firms compete. Many of these competitors are larger and have greater financial resources than we do. Competition in our Activewear segment for catalog goods is generally based upon price, service, delivery time, quality and flexibility, with the relative importance of each factor depending upon the needs of particular customers and the specific product offering. For the private label market, quality and service are more important factors for customer choice. We believe that competition within our branded lines in our Retail-Ready segment is based primarily upon design, brand recognition, and consumer preference. Our strategy for Soffe includes sustaining the strong reputation of Soffe and adapting our product offerings to changes in fashion trends andchanging consumer preferences. Junkfood continuesWe maintain a California-based design lab that provides trend reports, concepts and color trends to build strong brand recognition by providing unique artwork and designs, primarily with licensed properties. To The Game focuses on building its brands by providing its customers with innovatively designed, customized premium headwear. We partner with collegiate baseball coaches to promote The Game® headwear, which we believe is building a loyal following. We believe that our

favorable competitive aspects include strong consumer recognition and loyalty to our brands, the high quality ofkeep our products and our flexibility and process control, which helps lead to product consistency. Our ability to remain competitivedesigns in the areas of quality, price, design, marketing, product development, manufacturing, and distribution will, in large part, determine our future success.
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 during our first and fourth fiscal quarters generally being the highest, and sales during our second fiscal quarter generally being the lowest. The percentage of net sales by quarter for the year ended June 27, 2009 was 26%, 21%, 24% and 29% for the first, second, third, and fourth fiscal quarters, respectively. The apparel industry, especially in the Delta catalog business within our Activewear segment,style. This information is highly competitive based upon price. Therefore, actionsused by our competitors can greatly influence pricingin-house designers and demand formerchandisers, along with our products. In our Retail-Ready segment, demand for any particular product varies over time based largely upon shifts in fashionsales and marketing personnel, who review market trends, changes in consumer preferencessales results and general economic conditions affecting the retail industry. Therefore, the distribution of sales by quarter in fiscal year 2009 may not be indicative of the distribution in future years.
MANUFACTURING
We manufacture fabrics in our company-owned plant located in Maiden, North Carolina, and in Ceiba Textiles, a leased facility located near San Pedro Sula, Honduras. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009, we completed the move of Soffe textile production from our plant in Fayetteville, North Carolina to our Maiden and Ceiba Textiles facilities. We believe that this move will create a more efficient and cost effective supply chain. Our garments are sewn in our company-owned plants in Fayetteville, North Carolina, and Rowland, North Carolina, 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. In fiscal years 2009, 2008 and 2007, approximately 76%, 68% and 70%, respectively,popularity of our manufacturedlatest products were sewn in company-operated locations. The remaining products were sewn by outside contractors located into design new merchandise to meet the Caribbean basin.
At the 2009, 2008 and 2007 fiscal year ends, our long-lived assets in Honduras, El Salvador and Mexico collectively comprised 50.9%, 50.4% and 27.3%, respectively,expected future demands of our total net property, plant and equipment. At the 2009, 2008 and 2007 fiscal year ends, our long-lived assets in Honduras comprised 45.3%, 45.0% and 18.9%, respectively, of our total net property, plant and equipment. The percentage of our long-lived assets located offshore has increased from previous years because we invested in equipment for Ceiba Textiles and further expanded our sewing and printing facilities in Honduras and El Salvador. For a description of risks associated with our operations located in Honduras, El Salvador and Mexico, see Item 1A. Risk Factors.consumers.
Along with our internal manufacturing, we source fabric, undecorated products and full-package products through independent sources throughout the world. In fiscal years 2009, 2008 and 2007, we sourced approximately 11%, 12% and 6%, respectively, of our products from third parties.
RAW MATERIALS
In 2005 in conjunction with the sale of our yarn spinning facility in Edgefield, South Carolina, we entered into a five-year supply agreement with Parkdale America, LLC to supply our yarn requirements. On June 26, 2009, we amended the agreement to extend its expiration date until December 31, 2011. The amendment also adjusted the conversion costs, waste factors, basis and carry costs. All other terms in the agreement remained the same. Under the supply agreement, we purchase from Parkdale all yarn required by Delta Apparel and our wholly-owned subsidiaries for use in our manufacturing operations (excluding yarns that Parkdale did not manufacture as of the date of the original agreement in the ordinary course of its business or due to temporary Parkdale capacity restraints). The purchase price of yarn is based upon the cost of cotton plus a fixed conversion cost.
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 available, we may not be able to enter into 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 capability to produce and other fabrics when it is cost-effective to do so. These products are available from a number of suppliers. 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, heightened environmental awareness and other economic conditions have reduced the availability of certain products. Although we have the ability to adjust dye and chemical formulations, any adjustments could result in higher manufacturing costs and negatively impact our results of operations.
TRADEMARKS AND LICENSE AGREEMENTS
We own several well-recognized trademarks whichthat are important to our business. We believe that Soffe®, which has been in existence since 1946,Soffe® has stood for quality and value in the athletic and activewear market for more than sixty years.

We also a licenseehave license agreements for motorsports properties (including NASCAR), Churchill Downs, golf and other various resort properties. Our license agreements are primarilytypically non-exclusive in nature and typically have terms that range from one to three years. In addition, we are the exclusive licensee for tees, fleece and headwear within the Realtree Outfitters® outdoor lifestyle apparel brand, and also a licensee for Realtree Girl® brand. 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. In fiscal year 2012, we expanded our relationship with Salt Life® by becoming the exclusive licensee for footwear and also opened the flagship Salt Life® apparel retail store in Jacksonville Beach, Florida. 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.
SALES & MARKETING
Our sales and marketing consists of both employed and independent sales representatives and agencies located throughout the country. In the branded segment, sales teams 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 Junk Food® products in Canada, Europe, Asia and Australia. In the basics 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. Additionally, all brands leverage both in-house and outsourced marketing communications professionals to amplify their lifestyle statements.
During fiscal year 2012, we shipped to approximately 13,000 customers, many of whom have numerous retail "doors". No single customer accounted for more than 10% of sales in fiscal years 2012, 2011 or 2010, and our strategy is to not become dependent on any single customer. Revenues attributable to foreign countries represented approximately 1% of our total consolidated net sales in each of fiscal years 2012, 2011 and 2010.
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 a 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 customers, with most shipments made via third party carriers. In order to better serve customers, we allow products to be ordered by the piece, dozen, or 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, with many having greater financial resources than we do.
We believe that competition within our branded segment 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, and support the integrated lifestyle statement of our products through effective consumer marketing. We believe that our favorable competitive position stems from strong consumer recognition and brand loyalty, the high quality of our products, and our flexibility and process control, which includeshelp 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 Soffe, Junkfoodfuture success.
Competition in our undecorated basics business is generally based upon price, service, delivery time and Toquality, 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, competitor actions 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 greatly impacts 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 typically being the highest and sales in our second fiscal quarter typically being the lowest. As we continue to expand our product offerings, the seasonality in our business has become less pronounced. The Game businesses.percentage of net sales by quarter for the year ended June 30, 2012 was 25%, 22%, 26% and 27% for the first, second, third, and fourth fiscal quarters, respectively. Consumer demand for apparel is largely influenced by the overall U.S. economy and consumer spending in general. Therefore, the distribution of sales by quarter in fiscal year 2012 may not be indicative of the distribution in future years.
MANUFACTURING

4


We have a vertically integrated manufacturing platform that supports both our branded and basics segments. 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 domestic textile facility located in Maiden, North Carolina or at Ceiba Textiles, our leased textile facility located near San Pedro Sula, Honduras. In addition, we may purchase fabric from third party contractors to supplement internal production. The manufacturing process continues at one of our seven apparel manufacturing facilities where the products 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 North Carolina) and internationally (two in Honduras, one in El Salvador and two in Mexico). Our garments may also be embellished and prepared for retail (with any combination of services, including ticketing, hang tags, and hangers). In fiscal years 2012, 2011 and 2010 approximately 73%, 69% and 74%, 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 2012, 2011 and 2010 fiscal year-ends, our long-lived assets in Honduras, El Salvador and Mexico collectively comprised approximately 44%, 45% and 49%, respectively, of our total net property, plant and equipment, with our long-lived assets in Honduras comprising 34%, 37% and 43%, respectively. See Item 1A. Risk Factors for a description of risks associated with our operations located outside the United States.
Along with our internal manufacturing, we purchase fabric, undecorated products and full-package products from independent sources throughout the world. In fiscal years 2012, 2011 and 2010, we sourced approximately 20%, 23% and 25%, respectively, of our products from third parties.
RAW MATERIALS
We have a supply agreement with Parkdale America, LLC (“Parkdale”) to supply our yarn requirements until March 31, 2013. 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 discussions to secure a new agreement to supply our yarn requirements and do not believe a new agreement would change any competitive position we may currently have associated with the supply 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 the higher cost of yarn to our customers, this could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. During calendar year 2011, the apparel industry as a whole experienced unprecedented increases in cotton prices leading to ensuing price volatility in calendar 2012. The record high cotton prices, coupled with price discounting that occurred in the basic undecorated tee market, led to our decision to take a $16.2 million inventory writedown in our basics segment in the second fiscal quarter of 2012, the primary factor in the Company's net loss for fiscal year 2012.
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. While these fabrics typically are available from various suppliers, there are times when certain yarns become limited in quantity, causing some fabrics to be difficult to source. This can result in higher prices or the inability to provide products to customers which could negatively impact our results of operations. Dyes and chemicals are also purchased from several suppliers. While historically we have not had difficulty obtaining sufficient quantities of dyes and chemicals for manufacturing, the availability of products can change, which could require us to adjust dye and chemical formulations. In certain instances, these adjustments can increase manufacturing costs, negatively impacting our results of operations.
EMPLOYEES AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
As of June 27, 2009,30, 2012, we employed approximately 6,5007,200 full time employees, of whom approximately 1,4001,900 were employed in the United States. Approximately 1,000There are approximately 1,800 employees at one of our facilities in San Pedro Sula, Honduras are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We recently received notice from the Honduran Labor Ministry that a petition for union representation of employees at a separate facility in San Pedro Sula, Honduras has been filed. We have never had a strike or legal work stoppagenot yet received any requests for collective bargaining in connection with such petition. We have historically conducted our operations without significant labor disruptions and believe that our relations with our employees are good. We have invested significant time and resources in ensuring that the working conditions in all of our facilities meet or exceed the standards imposed by the governing laws. We have obtained WRAP (Worldwide Responsible ApparelAccredited Production) certification for all of our existing sewing plantsmanufacturing facilities that we operate in the United States, Honduras, El Salvador and Mexico. We also obligateSoffe and To The Game are affiliates of FLA (Fair Labor Association) as college licensees. In 2011, Delta Apparel, Inc. was approved by the FLA board as a participating company of the association. This affiliation with FLA further enhances human rights compliance monitoring for Delta Apparel plants and our third party manufacturing contractorscontractors. In addition, we have proactive programs to followpromote workplace safety, personal health, and employee wellness. We also support educational institutions in the communities where we operate.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND REGULATORY MATTERS
We are subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations concerning, among other things, wastewater discharges, storm water flows, air emissions and solid waste disposal. Our plants generate very small quantities of hazardous waste, which are either recycled or disposed of off-site. Most of our employment policies.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.
RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
Although we continually seek new products and brands to take to market via our diverse distribution network and customer base, there were no material amounts expended on research and development in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.

On September 29, 2008 and December 16, 2008, the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality (“DWQ”) issued Notices of Violation regarding exceedances of effluent limitations in the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (“NPDES”) permit for our Maiden, North Carolina textile plant. These notices were based on self-monitoring reports submitted by us to the DWQ. The exceedances related to the permit limit of average monthly gallons of water discharged for April, May and August 2008. The notices state that remedial actions, if not already implemented, should be taken to correct any problems. To address the effluent issues, we requested a modification of our NPDES permit and obtained an increase in the effluent limits. The term of the new permit is July 1, 2009 through May 31, 2011. We believe that the permit modification with the increase in effluent limits will resolve all issues covered by the previous notices.
We incur capital and other expenditures annually to achieve compliance with environmental standards.

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 and the value of Company securities held by investors, 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.Delta Apparel, Inc. 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. We expressly disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise any risk factors, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
The price and availability of purchased yarn and other raw materials is prone to significant fluctuations and volatility. 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 price of yarn purchased from Parkdale is based upon the cost of cotton plus a fixed conversion cost. We set future cotton prices with 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. 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. The Company and the apparel industry as a whole experienced unprecedented increases in cotton prices and price volatility during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. We were unable to pass through to our customers this higher cost cotton and ultimately decided to take an approximately $16.2 million inventory writedown in our basics segment in the second quarter. This second quarter inventory writedown was the primary factor in the Company's net loss for fiscal year 2012.
Current economic conditions may adversely impact demand for our products.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. Anyfuture, with many of these conditions could require usfactors outside of our control. Overall, consumer purchases of discretionary items tend to significantly modify our current business practices. Deteriorationdecline 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

6


our gross margins, causing a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
IfDeterioration of the financial condition of our customers declines,or suppliers could adversely affect our financial conditionposition and results of operations could be adversely impacted..We extend credit to our customers, generally without requiring collateral. OurThe 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 financialsfinancial statements on our customers. Further deterioration in the economy, or continued decline in consumer purchases of activewear 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, especiallyDuring the past several years, various retailers and we believe this trendother customers have experienced significant difficulties, including restructurings, bankruptcies and liquidations. The inability of these retailers and other customers to overcome these difficulties may continue.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.
Our Activewear segment is subject to In addition, significant pricing pressures, andchanges in the operations or financial condition of any of our suppliers or other parties with which we must implement our cost reductiondo business strategies to be successful.We operate our Activewear segmentcould result 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 servicesdisruption to our customers. To achieve this goal, we began production in our new Honduran textile facility, Ceiba Textiles, in fiscal year 2008. We also closed our Soffe textile manufacturing in Fayetteville, North Carolinabusiness and moved this production to our Maiden, North Carolina and Ceiba Textiles plants in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009. In addition, we continually seek improvements in our production and delivery of products. These initiatives are expected to

9


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 financial condition and results of operations.
The activewearapparel industry is highly competitive, and we face significant competitive threats to our business.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. Competition in the basic tee business is generally based upon price, service, delivery time, quality and flexibility, with the relative importance of each factor depending upon the needs of particular customers and the specific product offering. In the private label market, quality and service are greater factors for customer choice. With respect to branded product lines in the retail industry, competition is mainly based upon consumer recognition and preference. Many of our competitors have significant competitive advantages, including larger sales forces, bigger advertising budgets, 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.
Our success depends, in part, on our ability to predict or effectively react to changing consumer preferences and trends.trends.The success of our Retail-Ready segmentbusinesses 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. Ourfactors and therefore our ability to adapt to fashion trends in designing our products is important to success in the Retail-Ready segment. As an example, a significant percentagesuccess of our sales in this segment is one particular product item, the Soffe cheer short.brands. If consumer demand for this product decreases significantly or if we are unable to quickly adapt to changes in consumer preferences in the design of our other products, our results of operations could be adversely affected.
Our basics 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 basics 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, and continued the expansion during fiscal year 2011. In fiscal year 2012, we moved several functions of our private label business to our El Salvador facility to better serve customers through an enhanced and efficient product development process. In conjunction with this, we began a modernization of our decoration equipment to expand capabilities and lower costs. 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. 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, 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.
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.
Our business is influenced by weather patterns. Our business is susceptible to unseasonable weather conditions. For example, extended periods of unusually warm temperatures during the winter season or cooler weather during the spring and summer seasons could render portions of our inventory incompatible with weather conditions and influence consumers to alter their apparel purchasing habits. Reduced sales volumes from extreme or prolonged unseasonable weather conditions could cause adversely affect our business and results of operations.
We currently pay income taxes at lower than statutory rates and may incur additional tax liability. 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

7


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 or 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 June 30, 2012, was $33.6 million and our FCCR for the preceding twelve months was 1.2x, 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 action 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.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. The recent tightening of the credit markets and distress in the worldwide financial markets has resulted in diminished availability of debt and equity capital. We can provide no assurance that we willmay 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 willmay 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. A part of our growth strategy involves acquiring businesses that complement 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 our 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 energy and 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. In addition, we incur significant freight costs to transport goods between the United States and our offshore facilities, along with transportation expenses to ship products to our customers. The cost of energy and fuel fluctuates due to a number of factors outside our control, including government 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 products to mitigate risks of fluctuations in the cost of energy. In addition, we enter into forward contracts to fix a portion of the 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.
Our business operations rely on our information systems.systems and any material disruption or slowdown of our systems could cause operational delays.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.
Data security and privacy breaches could lead to liability and reputational damage. Our business involves the regular collection and use of sensitive and confidential information regarding customers and employees. These activities are highly regulated and privacy and information security laws are complex and constantly changing. Compliance with these laws and regulations may result in additional costs due to new systems and processes and our non-compliance can lead to legal liability. Further, despite the security measures we have in place, any actual or perceived information security breach, whether due to "cyber attack", computer viruses or human error, could lead to damage to our reputation and a resulting material adverse effect on our financial condition and 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.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 or our related sourcing and transportation logistics functions, whether within or outside of our control, may delay shipment of merchandise to our customers, potentially damaging our reputation and customer relationships 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.
We may be restricted in our ability to borrow under our credit agreement.Significant operating losses or significant usesFailure of cash in our operations could cause us to default on our asset-based revolving credit facility. Our credit agreement contains customary representationscomply with safety, health and warranties, funding conditions and events of default. 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. Our ability to borrow under the 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 the financial covenant that if the amount of availability falls below $10 million, our Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (“FCCR”) (as defined in the agreement) for the proceeding 12 month period must not be less than 1.10 to 1.00 or an event of default occurs. While our availability at June 27, 2009, was $22.0 million and our FCCR was 2.17 for the preceding 12 months, a significant decline in our sales or profitability could cause our FCCR to fall below 1.10, thereby

10


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.
The cost to borrow under our credit agreement may impact our results of operations.Although we have entered into two interest rate swap agreements that effectively convert a total of $30.0 million of floating rate debt under our credit facility to a fixed obligation, and we have entered into a interest rate collar agreement that provides a cap and a floor on our rates related to $15.0 million of other debt, we have a significant amount of debt subject to variable interest rates. At June 27, 2009, we had an aggregate of $36.3 million of variable interest rate debt outstanding that was not covered by these agreements. An increase in the cost to borrow under our credit agreementenvironmental regulations could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
We rely on the strength of our trademarks.Our trademarks include Soffe®, Junk Food®, The Game®, Kudzu®, Intensity Athletics®, Delta®, Quail HollowTM, Junk Mail®, and Sweet and Sour®, among others. In addition, we acquired other trademarks in the To The Game Acquisition, most notably the Three-Bar-Design and the Circle Design, which are recognized collegiate designs. We 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 salesfinancial position and results of operations.
A significant portion of our business relies upon license agreements.Our Retail-Ready segment relies on its licensed products for a substantial part of its 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.
Our operations are subject to political, social, economic, and climate risks in Mexico, Honduras and El Salvador.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, 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 impacting our results of operations.
We are subject to international trade regulations.Our products are subject to foreign competition, which in the past has been faced with significant U.S. government import restrictions. Foreign producers of apparel often have significant labor cost advantages. Given the number of these foreign producers, the substantial elimination of import protections for domestic apparel producers could materially adversely affect our business. The extent of import protection afforded to domestic apparel producers has been, and is likely to remain, subject to political considerations.
The North American Free Trade Agreement, or “NAFTA”, became effective on January 1, 1994 and has created a free-trade zone among Canada, Mexico and the United States. NAFTA contains a rule of origin requirement that products be produced in one of the three countries in order to benefit from the agreement. NAFTA has phased out all trade restrictions and tariffs among the three countries on apparel products competitive with ours. We have sewing operations in Mexico to take advantage of the NAFTA benefits. Subsequent repeal or alteration of NAFTA could materially adversely affect our results of operations.
On August 2, 2005, the Central America Free Trade Agreement (“CAFTA”) was signed into law. CAFTA currently creates a free-trade zone among the United States, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Costa Rica and Honduras. We currently have textile and sewing operations in Honduras and El Salvador to take advantage of the CAFTA benefits. Subsequent repeal or alteration of CAFTA could adversely affect our results of operations.
The World Trade Organization or “WTO”, a multilateral trade organization, has set forth mechanisms by which world trade in clothing is being progressively liberalized by phasing-out quotas and reducing duties over a period of time. With the exception of China, the remaining quotas were eliminated on January 1, 2005. Quotas on textiles and apparel from China were lifted on January 1, 2009. The elimination of the quotas significantly changed the competitiveness of many countries as apparel sourcing locations. Because we believe that Central America and Mexico are the low cost regions to produce our types of apparel products, we do not expect the elimination of quotas on textiles and apparel from China to have a material impact on our results of operations in future years if NAFTA and CAFTA remain in place. There is, however, no assurance that our future results will not be impacted by increased global competition.
Our operations are subject to environmental regulation..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

11


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 and regulatory 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. These proceedings could cause us to incur costs and may require us to devote resources to defend against these claims and could ultimately result in a loss against these claims or other remedies such as product recalls, 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.
We rely on the strength of our trademarks and could incur significant costs to protect these trademarks. Our trademarks, including Soffe®, Junk Food®, The Game®, and The Cotton Exchange® among others, are important to our marketing efforts and have substantial value. In addition, we have trademarked the Three-Bar-Design and 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 significant additional resources to protect these trademarks. The loss or limitation of the exclusive right to use our trademarks could adversely affect our sales and results of operations.
A significant portion of our business relies upon license agreements. We rely on 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, renew or extend license agreements on favorable terms could adversely affect our sales and results of operations and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
We may be subject to the impairment of acquired intangible assets.assets.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 June 27, 200930, 2012 and June 28, 2008,July 2, 2011, our goodwill and other intangible assets were approximately $23.9$23.6 million and $24.4$24.2 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. We completed our annual reviewimpairment test of goodwill foron the first day of our third fiscal year ended June 27, 2009, andquarter. Based on the valuation, there does not appear to be impairment on the goodwill associated with Junkfood, the only remaining goodwill recorded on our financial statements. We also concluded that there are no additional indicators of impairment charge was necessary.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.
The priceChanges in the regulations and laws regarding e-commerce could reduce the growth and lower the profitability of our purchased raw materials is proneinternet sales. The e-commerce industry has undergone, and continues to significant fluctuationsundergo, rapid development and volatility.Yarn ischange. There have been continuing efforts to increase the primary raw material usedlegal and regulatory obligations and restrictions on companies conducting commerce through the internet, primarily in the manufactureareas 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, thereby negatively impacting our results of operations.
Significant changes to international trade regulations could adversely affect our results of operations. The majority of our apparel products. As describedproducts 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 heading “Raw Materials”, the purchase priceinadequacy or unavailability of yarn purchased from Parkdale is based upon the cost of cotton plus a fixed conversion cost. We set future cotton prices with 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, whichsupporting records, could result in unfavorable yarn pricing for us. For example, we estimate that a change of $0.01 per pound in cotton prices wouldmaterially adversely affect our annual raw material costs by approximately $0.6 million at current levels of production. While changes in cotton prices are typically passed along to consumers over time, a dramatic increase in the price of cotton could in the short-term adversely impact our results of operations. In addition, if Parkdale’s operationsour products are disruptedsubject 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 it is not ablelikely to provide us with our yarn requirements, we may needremain, subject to obtain yarn from alternative sources. We may not be able to enter into arrangements with substitute suppliers on terms as favorable as our current terms with Parkdale,political considerations. The elimination of import protections for domestic apparel producers could significantly increase global competition, which could negativelyadversely affect our business.

Any failure to comply with international trade regulations could cause us to become subject to investigation resulting in significant fluctuations and volatility.Our manufacturing operations require high inputs of energy, and therefore changes in energy prices directly impactpenalties or claims or our gross profits. Energy costs declined during fiscal year 2009, but remain volatile based on a number of factors, including general economic conditions. We continueinability 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 in order 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 prices may make us less competitive compared to others in the industry, which may have a material adverse effect onconduct business, adversely affecting our results of operations.
Our business incurs significant freight A complaint was filed in March 2012 with the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Trade & Labor Affairs by the AFL-CIO and transportation costs.various Honduran union federations alleging that the Honduran government failed to enforce its labor laws in violation of the provisions of CAFTA. The complaint contains various and sundry allegations of Honduran labor law violations by U.S.-based companies with Honduran operations, including our Ceiba Textiles operations. We incur significant freight costs to transport our goods betweencontend that the United States and our offshore facilities. In addition, we incur transportation expenses to ship our products to our customers. While transportation costs decreased during fiscal year 2009 compared to fiscal years 2008 and 2007, those costs remain volatile based on general economic conditions. Significant increasesallegations against Ceiba Textiles have no merit. The U.S. Department of Labor has initiated an investigation of the allegations in the costs of freightcomplaint and transportationindicates that it will issue a report in the near future. The legal action, if any, that may result from this investigation would be an action by the U.S. government against Honduras under CAFTA, not a legal action against us related to the specific allegations against it contained in the complaint. However, an action against Honduras could result in sanctions or other penalties against Honduras under CAFTA or other governmental action that could have a material adversenegative effect on our ability to conduct business.
Changes in domestic or foreign employment regulations or changes in our relationship with our employees could adversely affect our results of operations, as there can be no assurance that we could passoperations. We employ approximately 7,200 employees worldwide, with approximately 5,400 of these increased costs toemployees being in Honduras, El Salvador or Mexico. Changes in domestic and foreign laws governing our customers.
We currentlyrelationships with our employees, including wage and human resources laws and regulations, fair labor standards, overtime pay, incomeunemployment tax rates, workers' compensation rates and payroll taxes, at lower than statutorywould likely have a direct impact on our operating costs. A significant increase in wage rates which could change in the future.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 1,800 employees at one of our facilities in Honduras, which are party to a three year collective bargaining agreement. We benefitrecently received notice from the Honduran Labor Ministry that a lower overall effective income taxpetition for union representation of employees at a separate facility in Honduras has been filed but we have yet to receive any requests for collective bargaining in connection with such petition. We have historically conducted our operations without significant labor disruptions and believe that our relations with our employees are good. 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 due tofluctuations. We manufacture the majority of our manufacturing operations being carried outproducts outside of the United States, exposing us to currency exchange rate fluctuations. In addition, movements in foreign tax-free locations. Our U.S. legal entity contractsexchange 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 foreign subsidiariesstrict internal Code of Conduct, local and internal laws, and the codes and principles to manufacture products on its behalf. The inter-company prices paidwhich 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. A consequence of the aforementioned potential legal action by the U.S. government against Honduras under CAFTA could be negative publicity for the manufacturing servicesus that adversely affects our relationships with customers and manufactured products are 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. If U.S. tax law changes and our offshore profits are subject to U.S. tax, our financial position and results of operations would be adversely affected.licensing partners.
The market price of Delta Apparel shares is affected by illiquidity of our shares.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 26, 2009,September 11, 2012, we had outstanding 8,502,6998,389,039 shares of common stock.stock outstanding. We believe that approximately 57.6%45% of our stock is beneficially owned by thoseentities and individuals who each own more than 5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Included in the 57.6%45% are institutional investors that beneficially own more than 5% of the outstanding shares. These institutional investors own approximately 37.1%32% 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.
Our principal shareholdersThe market price of Delta Apparel shares is likely to be highly volatile and the stock market in general can be highly volatile. Fluctuations in Delta Apparel stock price may exert substantial influence.Asbe influenced by, among other things, the general economic and market conditions, conditions or trends in our industry, changes in the market valuations of August 14, 2009, three membersother 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 Board of Directors and related individuals had or sharedcontrol, but may cause the voting power with respect to approximately 24.9% of the outstanding sharesmarket price of our common stock.

Efforts to comply with the evolving regulatory landscape regarding public company governance and disclosure will result in significant additional costs. We are committed to maintaining high standards for internal controls over financial reporting, corporate governance and public disclosure. However, evolving laws, regulations and standards relating to these issues such as the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and similar regulations have created significant additional compliance requirements for companies like us. We have devoted and will continue to devote significant resources, and our directors, executive officersmanagement team has devoted and related individuals, as a group (comprised of 16 people), owned 27.3%will continue to devote substantial time, to comply with these standards. This will lead to increases in our cost structure, divert the attention of our outstanding stock asmanagement team from revenue generating activities to compliance efforts, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of August 14, 2009, and therefore have the ability to exert substantial influence with respect to all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders, including the election of directors.operations.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On May 17, 2006, adversary proceedings wereAudit Committee Internal Investigation Completed

The Audit Committee internal investigation previously disclosed in connection with the September 12, 2012, Form 12b-25 we filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has been completed.  The investigation was initiated in response to issues raised internally by a former employee in our Activewear division on August 13, 2012, regarding that division's fiscal year-end financial closing processes.  The Audit Committee believes that the investigation, which utilized a team of independent counsel and information technology and forensic accounting professionals and involved a comprehensive review of documents and e-mails and interviews with employees and other individuals, was extensive and complete.  The Audit Committee found no evidence to support the issues or corroborate the allegations raised by the former employee regarding our Activewear division's financial closing processes and related financial controls.  The Audit Committee continues to have full confidence in the integrity of our financial processes and controls as well as our financial statements.

We have incurred additional legal and professional fees in connection with this investigation of approximately $1.2 million, which amounts will be recorded in our 2013 first fiscal quarter. Significant future expenses related to the investigation are not expected.

The Trustee further alleges that Delta and Soffe should repayit will recommend to the bankruptcy estate the difference between the market value of the natural gas purchased by them and the price paid by Delta and Soffe. The amount of these claims is approximately $0.7 million plus interest against Delta and $0.2 million plus interest against Soffe. Additionally, the Trustee claims that Soffe received preferential transfers in the amount of approximately $0.1 million in the form of refund payments made to Soffe by the debtor for natural gas transactions that occurred within 90 days of the debtor’s bankruptcy petition.
Commission a $900,000 civil penalty. We contend that the claims of the Trustee have no merit and have filed counterclaims. Delta and Soffe each filed motions for summary judgment in an attempt to dispose of all claims. Commission's allegations are without merit.
On August 25, 2009,27, 2012, Junkfood responded to the Court issuedCommission staff regarding its recommended penalty, setting forth a ruling denyingnumber of defenses and mitigating factors that could result in a much lower penalty, if any, ultimately imposed by a court should the motions for summary judgment by Delta and Soffe and granting partial summary judgment in favor of the Trustee, eliminating one of the defenses raised by Delta and Soffe in these adversary proceedings. Delta and Soffematter proceed to litigation. While we will continue to defend against these claims going forward. Ifallegations, we believe it is probable that a liability has been incurred. Based upon the Trustee prevails with respect to allterms of previously published CPSC settlements and related product recall notices, we believe if we settle the matter the minimum settlement amount would be $25 thousand. Should the Commission seek enforcement of the recommended civil penalty and ultimately prevail on its claims at trial, Delta and Soffewe could be required to pay amounts up to the $1.1 million in aggregate to the bankruptcy estate,exceeding $900,000, along with a possibility that the Trustee might recover interest and the Commission's costs on any amount awarded at trial.and fees. As of June 30, 2012 we have recorded a liability for the most likely outcome within this range.
In addition, 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.

* 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.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
BUSINESS OUTLOOK
Although the retail climate for apparel sales remains very difficult, we believe that we can continue to strengthen our business results during fiscal year 2010. Our competitive position in our Activewear segment continues to improve as we gained market share in our catalog business and full-packaged products during fiscal year 2009. While we expect

undecorated teesare pleased that Delta Apparel, Inc. was able to remaindeliver yet another record-sales year and take important steps to position ourselves for continued growth in an over-supply situation,the future, we believewere disappointed with the amount of demand destruction that we offer atook place in the marketplace as selling prices at retail reflected the higher levelcotton costs incurred by the Company in fiscal 2012. This hurt our Delta Catalog business as customers de-stocked in anticipation of service than our competitors and have developed marketing programs that should entice customers to grow their business with us.
Our Retail-Ready segment continues to build business relationships, expandinglower prices in the number of customers and doors where our products are sold to our ultimate consumer. We believe we can continue to grow organically as we leverage our customer relationships across our business groups. We have already received orders to begin shipping headwear into our military distribution channels and have received apparel orders at To The Game based on our ability to offer a vertical supply chain with apparel products.future. Our Soffe business also felt the impact, as replenishment orders from department stores were lower than anticipated as these retailers saw significant drops in same store sales. As cotton prices have stabilized to some degree and Junkfood products are retailing well,inventories in the marketplace level out, we anticipate renewed growth and we expect additional orders as open-to-buy dollars become available. Our internet salesstronger margins in both of Soffe and Junkfood products continue to increase, a further reflection of the strength of our brands and license agreements. We expect that our new business relationships and additional licenses that we have in place, will drive growththese businesses in fiscal year 2010.2013.
Each ofWe have initiated strategies and are evaluating other aggressive plans to better leverage our businesses is now marketing products to be producedand accelerate growth. During fiscal year 2012, we completed the initiative of getting all our branded businesses on the same enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. We are already seeing improved service efficiencies from these conversions in our Central America manufacturing operations. By the end of calendar year 2009, weapparel ordering, warehousing and distribution processes and expect to be shipping apparel products through each of our business unitsbenefit from this manufacturing platform, including new apparel business generated from To The Game. Although we planlower expenses going forward. We expect to continue further ERP initiatives to reducestreamline our production rates on Delta catalog tees to match current demand, we expect thatprocesses and add a significant portion of this capacity will be used to supplystrong business-to-business platform for our Soffe demand, which will reducecustomers.
In fiscal year 2012, we began moving our unscheduled downtime. In addition, weFunTees private label business onto our existing software platform used in the Delta Catalog business, and expect to purchase specialized fabric finishing equipment whichcomplete the conversion in the first half of fiscal year 2013. This consolidation will allow us to produce certain fabricsbetter manage our inventory flow and gain further synergies that should improve our operating margins.
We expensed, as a component of cost of goods sales, $1.7 million dollars in the second half of the fiscal year to balance manufacturing capacity with demand, although our unit sales of undecorated tees were up eight percent from the fourth quarter of the prior year and unit sales at FunTees were up over ten percent from the prior year. These curtailments allowed us to reduce our inventories in an orderly manner, free up excess working capital, reduce our commitment to higher cost cotton and better position ourselves to meet our objectives for fiscal year 2013.
We also are in the process of moving several functions of our private label business to our El Salvador facility to better serve customers through an enhanced and efficient product development process. Concurrently, we currently purchase onare further modernizing our decoration equipment, with the open market, further leveraging our fixed costs in our facilitiesobjective of expanding capabilities and reducing our lead times.lowering production costs. We believe the costs of these initiatives, much of which was recognized in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2012, will be more than offset by the long-term benefits and efficiencies that will begin to accrue in fiscal year 2013.
Despite the challenges of fiscal year 2012, we saw good improvement in several of our low cost,businesses. The Game, driven by our Salt Life business and improved shipments of motorsports related products, recorded strong sales growth and improved profitability. Junkfood also turned in excellent performance and achieved record revenue driven primarily from strong branding activities and continued growth in sports license products. The Art Gun business also achieved excellent gains, tripling net sales for the year with vastly improved margins both in the fourth quarter and full year. FunTees also made great strides during fiscal 2012, achieving record sales and operating profits for the year.
Looking ahead to 2013, we believe cotton prices have stabilized somewhat and there should be an abundant world supply of cotton over the next year. Therefore, we are remaining short on future cotton commitments in order to keep the Company in the most flexible supply platform will allow usposition regarding future raw material costs. While demand was tepid during our fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, we have seen solid demand for most of our products as we begin fiscal year 2013, and expect to continueachieve record revenue in fiscal year 2013 despite comparing against the higher selling prices from the prior year that were driven from the cotton cost. Our inventories are well balanced and we are making continued progress on our commitment to provide competitively priced productsimprove service levels across the many markets we serve. While we are still operating our manufacturing facilities at less than full capacity, we made further efficiency gains over the past year which should improve operating margins as we progress through the next several quarters. We also anticipate margin improvement as we gain traction with our strategies to leverage our creative talent and retail partners, while buildingrelationships across our overallvarious operating margins.
Overall weunits. We plan to spend about $7 million for capital improvements in fiscal year 2013, most of which will focus on four strategic initiatives during fiscal 2010 that we believe are importantscreen print modernization and expansion in the continuedboth our international and U.S. facilities, branding and point-of-sale displays for branded products.
Our objective for 2013 is to achieve organic growth and success of our company.
1) Leverage our current business strengths. We are focusing on using license agreements acrossin all of our business units and we believe we are well positioned to support newdo so. Our product development, merchandising and marketing efforts, combined with our diverse customer base across many channels of distribution, will be the catalyst that should help us achieve this goal and to increasedrive us toward our value-adding services, including printing and specialized packaging. tenth consecutive year of record revenue.

EARNINGS GUIDANCE
We believe this focus will enable us to build business in new channels of distribution while increasing brand and product penetration in existing channels.
2) Improve profitabilityremain optimistic in our Activewear segment. Weoutlook for fiscal year 2013, while recognizing there are working on improvingmany unknowns that are outside of our marketing and merchandising strategycontrol that could influence our results. For the fiscal year ending June 29, 2013, we believe we will again achieve record revenues in the range of $500 to continue$510 million, an increase of 2% to build our market share in these businesses. In addition, utilizing our manufacturing plants to support4% from fiscal year 2012, all of our business units should improve our cost structure, driving improved operating margins.
3) Consolidate and improve our information technology platforms. We have invested a significant amount of capital over the past two years to improve our distribution, inventory and business operating platforms. Many of these new systems arewhich is expected to be implemented during fiscal year 2010 and should improve efficiencies across our business units, lower our costs and allow for better management of our inventories.
4) Reduce inventory levels. We made progress on inventory reduction during fiscal year 2009. However, we believe that we can further improve our inventory turns with the new business systems being implemented, allowing us to further grow sales without expanding our investment in inventory. Weorganic growth. Earnings are also focusing on improving our speed to market, which should provide a higher level of service to our retail and brand partners with lower inventory levels.
EARNINGS GUIDANCE
We expect further expansion of revenue and improved profitability for our business in fiscal year 2010. After considering the heightened risk and uncertainty in the apparel marketplace, we expect fiscal year 2010 salesexpected to be in the range of $360$1.65 to $380 million and earnings to be in the range of $0.80 to $1.00$1.80 per diluted share.
The overall retail climate for apparel remains difficult, and we anticipate further closings of retail apparel outlets. While consumer demand has been solid for our products, this could weaken at any time. As we match our manufacturing production to demand, weakening sales may require us to further reduce output, thereby increasing per unit costs and lowering our margins. In addition, raw material and energy prices remain volatile and could also result in increased costs. While it is impossible to predict the extent these conditions may impact our business, we believe that we have evaluated these heightened risk factors in setting our expectations for fiscal year 2010.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
Fiscal year each2012 marked another year of growth for Delta Apparel, Inc. and our ninth consecutive year of record revenue. We faced significant headwinds as we started the year, including higher energy and transportation costs, a very weak and sluggish economy and, most challenging, extreme volatility in the price of cotton. Although net sales increases and expanded market share in several of our divisions enabled us to maintain our record of revenue growth, they were not enough to entirely offset the negative effect these conditions had on our bottom line.
Higher selling prices, coupled with continued marketing initiatives to gain new customers and expand business unitsrelationships with existing customers, drove organic sales growth of 3.1% during fiscal year 2012 on top of the 7.1% organic growth achieved in fiscal year 2011. The organic growth. This, combined with our acquisition of To The Game,sales growth resulted in record sales of $355.2$489.9 million, an increase of 10.3%$14.7 million, or 3.1%, from the prior year.
Our manufacturing facilities made significant improvements duringDuring fiscal year 2012, our profitability was diminished by high cost cotton and other unusual costs associated with the year, increasing output through efficiencies, improving material utilization and reducing off-quality production. Duringtransition of our fourth quarter,product development functions that we successfully movedvoluntarily incurred to better position ourselves for the Soffe textile production into our Maiden, North Carolina and Ceiba Textiles facilities and closed the textile operations in Fayetteville, North Carolina. This should further reduce cost and eliminate the duplication of overhead, saving us approximately $1future. Operating profit decreased $31.5 million on an annual basis.
Our operating profit was $12.1 to ($6.2) million, or 3.4%(1.3%) of sales, in fiscal year 2009,2012, resulting in net incomeloss of $6.5($2.4) million, or $0.76($0.29) loss per diluted share.
In addition to earning solid profits in fiscal year 2009, we continued to focus on managing the capital in the business. Our days sales outstanding at June improved to 49 days compared to 50 days a year ago. We continued to focus on our inventory management, achieving an 8% organic sales growth with lower inventories (excluding the additional inventory associated with To The Game). Our finished goods turns improved to 3.1 turns from 2.8 turns in the prior year. We used the cash generated from our earnings and reduction in working capital to reduce our debt levels by $10.7 million. This was in addition to using $6 million of cash related to the acquisition of To The Game.
Overall, we believe that our various marketing platforms and targeted channels of distribution served us well, yielding solid growth with prudent capital management in a difficult apparel marketplace.

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 of $9.6in our basics segment and a 12.1% increase in our branded segment. Sales in the branded segment were $221.7 million, or 3.1%,approximately 47% of total sales. Revenue from netThe Cotton Exchange, which we acquired in July 2011, drove a 10.5% increase in the branded segment revenue from the prior year.

Sales within the basics segment increased to $253.5 million, or 53% of our total revenue.

Lower consumer spending hurt salesThe increase in the Soffe business, as our customers took a more cautious approach with their orders. Net sales in the Activewear segment were $179.4 million, an increase of $1.1 million, or 0.6%, due to increased FunTees sales offset partially by a decrease in the Delta catalog business. Fiscal year 2007 included results from the FunTees business since its acquisition on October 2, 2006. Sales in FunTees declined during fiscal year 2008 due in part from lower orders for the fall, holiday and spring seasons, which we believe was caused primarily by disruptions during the integration of FunTees into our Maiden textile facility.

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 20082011 was 56.0%, compared to 20.6% for fiscal year 2007. Due to the small loss in fiscal year 2008, the effective income tax rate is not meaningful. In fiscal year 2008, we donated the Fayette, Alabama facility to a charitable organization and recognized a $0.2 million tax benefit. In addition, profits that are permanently reinvested in the tax-free zone of Honduras further increased our effective tax benefit in fiscal year 2008. In fiscal year 2007, we donated our Knoxville, Tennessee distribution facility to a charitable organization. This, along with having a portion of our earnings in the tax-free zone of Honduras, lowered our effective tax rate from statutory rates.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, we recorded an extraordinary gain associated with the final earnout payment made to the former M. J. Soffe shareholders. This extraordinary gain, net of taxes, was $0.7 million, or $0.08 per diluted share.

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 1.10 to 1.0 and otherwise includes customary conditions to funding, covenants, and events of default. As of June 27, 2009, our FCCR was 2.17 for the preceding 12 months, thus exceeding the 1.10 to 1.0 requirement allowing access to, if needed, the total amount of availability provided for under the Amended Loan Agreement.

Pursuant to EITF 95-22, we classify borrowings under the facility as non-current debt.
On April 2, 2007, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement and an interest rate collar agreement to manage our interest rate exposure and effectively reduce the impact of future interest changes. Both agreements mature (or expire) on April 1, 2010. By entering into the interest rate swap agreement, we effectively converted $15.0 million of floating rate debt under our credit facility to a fixed obligation with a LIBOR rate at 5.06%. By entering into the interest rate collar agreement, we effectively provided a cap of 5.5% and a floor of 4.33% on LIBOR rates on $15.0 million of floating rate debt under our credit facility. 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%.

J. Soffe Co. during the annual period beginning on October 2, 2005 and ending on September 30, 2006 (the “Earnout Amount”). The Earnout Amount was capped at a maximum aggregate amount of $4.0 million and was payable five business days subsequent to the filing of the Form 10-Q for the first fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2007. Based on the financial performance achieved, we paid the final Earnout Amount of $2.3 million to the prior shareholders of Soffe in November 2006. We recorded an extraordinary gain of $0.7 million, net of taxes, or $0.08 per diluted share, associated with the final earnout payment.

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 2, 2007,On September 1, 2011, we entered into anthree interest rate swap agreement and an interest rate collar agreement to manage our interest rate exposure and effectively reduce the impact of future interest rate changes. agreements, as follows:

We entered into an additional interest rate swap agreement on April 1, 2009. We have assessed these agreements and have concluded that the swap agreements match the exact terms of the underlying debt except for a slight timing difference. We use a hypothetical derivative method to assess and measure ineffectiveness associated with the hedge each metreporting period. During fiscal year 2012, the requirements to account for each as a hedge.interest rate swap agreements had minimal ineffectiveness and were considered highly-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 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 and collar agreements resulted in an AOCI loss, net of taxes, of a loss of $0.6$0.1 million as offor the year ended June 27, 200930, 2012 and an AOCI gain, net of taxes, of a loss of $0.5$0.1 million as of June 28, 2008.the year ended July 2, 2011.

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 June 27, 2009 and June 28, 2008, there was $11.7 million and $10.1 million, respectively, of retained earnings free of restrictions for the payment of dividends. We paid no dividends to our shareholders in fiscal year 2009 and paid $0.4 million in dividends in fiscal year 2008.
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 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 notcannot 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 $5.0 million from the contractual cash obligations table because we believe inclusion would not be meaningful. Refer to Note 9 - Income Taxes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on our deferred income tax liabilities. 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.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 27, 2009,30, 2012, 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 7A 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 June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011, there was $14.8 million and $18.7 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 2012 and 2011.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 dividendsJune 30, 2012, our Board of Directors had authorized management to use up to $20.0 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. TheOur most significantcritical accounting estimates, and assumptions relatediscussed below, pertain to the adequacy ofrevenue recognition, accounts receivable and related reserves, inventory and related reserves, self-insurance accrualsthe carrying value of goodwill, 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 Accounts Receivable and Related Reserves
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 recordedincluded 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
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 a reduction toshown on our Consolidated Balance Sheet, are net sales.

of related reserves. We estimate the net collectibility of our accounts receivable and establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon this assessment. Specifically,In situations where we analyzeare 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. OurIn addition, reserves are established for other concessions that have been extended to customers, including advertising, markdowns and other accommodations, net of historical recoveries. These reserves are managing their cash flows tightly, a trend we expect to continue in fiscal year 2010.determined based upon 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, to acquire 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 conditionsselling prices 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.
Self-InsuranceDuring the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, we recorded a $16.2 million lower of cost or market write-down on the inventory in the Delta Catalog business and its firm purchase commitments for yarn resulting from historically high cotton prices in its inventory costs combined with declining selling prices. The estimation of the total write-down involves management judgments and assumptions including assumptions regarding future selling price forecasts, the allocation of raw materials between business units, the estimated costs to complete, disposal costs and a normal profit margin. The inventory and yarn firm purchase commitments associated with this inventory write-down was sold during our fiscal year 2012.
Our medical, prescriptionGoodwill and dental care benefitsContingent Consideration
Goodwill and definite-lived intangibles were recorded in conjunction with our acquisitions of Junkfood Clothing Company and Art Gun. We did not record any separately identifiable indefinite-lived intangibles associated with either of 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. 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 goodwill impairment testing process

20


involves the use of significant assumptions, estimates and judgments with respect to a variety of factors, including sales, gross margins, selling, general and administrative expenses, capital expenditures, cash flows and the selection of an appropriate discount rate, all of which are primarily self-insured. Our self-insurance accrualssubject to inherent uncertainties and subjectivity. When we perform goodwill impairment testing, our assumptions are based on claims filedannual business plans and other forecasted results, which we believe represent those of a market participant. We select a discount rate, which is used to reflect market-based estimates of claims incurred but not reported. We develop estimatesthe risks associated with the projected cash flows, based on the best information available as of claims incurred but not reported based upon the historical time it takesdate of the impairment assessment. In our second quarter of fiscal year 2011, we identified indicators of impairment on the Art Gun goodwill. The test of impairment indicated that the goodwill at Art Gun was fully impaired, resulting in a $0.6 million impairment charge recorded in the fiscal quarter ended January 1, 2011.
See Note 2(m) - Significant Accounting Policies to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a claim to be reportedfurther information regarding our remeasurement of contingent consideration and historical claim amounts. If claims are greater than we originally estimate, or if costs increase beyond what we have anticipated, our recorded reserves may not be sufficient,testing for goodwill impairment, which could have a significantinformation is herein incorporated by reference.
Given the current macro-economic environment and the uncertainties regarding its potential impact on our operating results. We had self-insurance reserves of approximately $497,000business, there can be no assurance that our estimates and $595,000 at June 27, 2009 and June 28, 2008, respectively. Net claims paid during fiscal year 2009 were less than those paid during fiscal year 2008, resultingassumptions used in the lower reserve balance at the end of fiscal year 2009.
Share-Based Compensation
Share-based compensation cost is determined using the fair value method as prescribed in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004),Share-Based Payment(“SFAS 123(R)”). Under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123(R) compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair valueour impairment tests will prove to be accurate predictions of the awardfuture. If our assumptions regarding forecasted cash flows are not achieved, it is possible that an impairment review may be triggered and is recognized over the award vesting period. We determine the fair value of each stock option at the date of grant 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. The use of a different estimate for any one of these components could have a material impact on the amount of calculated compensation expense.goodwill may be determined to be impaired.
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.rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. In fiscal year 2012, we generated federal net operating losses of $20.0 million. We have recorded deferred tax assets for certain stateclassified this net operating loss carryforwardsin income taxes receivable as we believe this asset is fully realizable as we intend to carry this loss back against the taxable income from fiscal years 2011 and nondeductible accruals. 2010, which can sufficiently cover this loss.
We established a valuation allowance related to certain of our state operating loss carryforward amounts in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) StatementFASB Codification No. 109, Accounting for 740, Income Taxes(“SFAS 109” (“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 state net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) in fiscal years 20092012 and 20082011 of approximately $22.3$31.1 million and $12.0 million, respectively. We had deferred tax assets of $1.4 million and $21.0$0.4 million respectively, forin fiscal years 2012 and 2011 related to these state tax purposes and aNOLs, with related valuation allowanceallowances against the NOLsthem of approximately $0.9$0.1 million at as of both June 28, 2008. No valuation allowance was required for the year ended June 27, 2009.30, 2012 and July 2, 2011. These net loss carryforwards expire at various intervals through 2029.2032.
As of June 27, 2009,30, 2012, we had $2.8$1.0 million of charitable contribution carryforwards for federal income tax purposes resulting in a deferred tax asset of which $1.6$0.4 million. In fiscal year 2013, $0.9 million of the charitable carryforward expires, with the remaining $0.1 million expiring in fiscal year 2012, and $1.2 million expires in fiscal year 2013.2014. The future charitable contribution deduction isin limited to 10% of taxable income for each year. Based uponon our forecasts, we do not expect that we will have sufficient profitstaxable income to use all of the charitable contributions before they expire. Therefore, we have adetermined that no valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset associated with the charitable contribution carryforward of $0.4 million as of June 27, 2009.is required.

ITEM 7A.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Commodity Risk Sensitivity
On January 5, 2005, in conjunction with the sale of our yarn spinning facility in Edgefield, South Carolina, we entered intoWe have a five-year supply agreement with Parkdale America, LLC (“Parkdale”) to supply our yarn requirements. On June 26, 2009, we amended the agreement to extend its expiration date to Decemberrequirements until March 31, 2011. The amendment also adjusted the conversion costs, waste factors, basis and carry costs. All other terms in the agreement remained the same.2013. Under the supply agreement, we purchase from Parkdale all of our yarn required by Delta Apparel and our wholly-owned subsidiariesrequirements for use in our manufacturing operations, (excludingexcluding yarns that Parkdale diddoes not manufacture as of the date of the original agreement in the ordinary course of its business or cannot manufacture due to temporary Parkdale capacity restraints).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 June 27, 200930, 2012 was valued at $22.7$21.9 million, and is scheduled for delivery between July 20092012 and December 2009.October 2012. At June 27, 2009,30, 2012, a 10% decline in the market price of the cotton covered by our fixed price yarn would have had a negative impact of approximately $1.6 million on the value of the yarn. This compares to what would have been a negative impact of $1.0$5.1 million at the 20082011 fiscal year end based on the yarn with fixed cotton prices at June 28, 2008.July 2, 2011. The impact of a 10% decline in the market price of the cotton covered by our fixed price yarn would have been greaterless at June 27, 200930, 2012 than at June 28, 2008July 2, 2011 due to increasedreduced commitments at June 27, 2009 compared to June 28, 2008. The impact was partially offset byand lower cotton prices at June 27, 2009 than at June 28, 2008.30, 2012 compared to July 2, 2011.
We may use derivatives, including cotton option contracts, to manage our exposure to movements in commodity prices. We do not

21


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 June 27, 200930, 2012 or June 28, 2008.July 2, 2011.
We are currently in discussions to secure a new agreement to supply our yarn requirements and do not believe a new agreement would change any competitive position we may currently have associated with the supply 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 the 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 floating rate indebtedness at June 27, 200930, 2012 under the U.S. revolving credit facilitiesfacility had been outstanding during the entire year and the interest rate on this outstanding indebtedness was increased by 100 basis points, our expense would have increased by approximately $0.8$0.7 million, or 17.2%17.9%, for the fiscal year. This compares to an increase of $0.9$0.6 million, or 14.4%23.3%, for the 20082011 fiscal year based on the outstanding floating rate indebtedness at June 28, 2008.July 2, 2011. The effect of a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would have had a smallerhigher dollar impact as offor the year ended June 27, 2009 than as of June 28, 200830, 2012 compared to the year ended July 2, 2011 due to the lowerhigher debt levels outstanding on June 27, 2009. However, theJuly 2, 2011. The percentage increase is more significant for fiscal year 2009 is higher2011 than for fiscal year 2012 because our total interest expense for fiscal year 20092011 was lower than our total interest expense for fiscal year 2008.2012. 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 2, 2007,From time to time, we entered into anmay use interest rate swap agreement and interest rate collar agreementswaps or other instruments to manage our interest rate exposure and effectively reduce the impact of future interest rate changes. Both agreements mature (or expire) on April 1, 2010. By entering into the interest rate swap agreement, we effectively converted $15.0 million of floating rate debt under our credit facility to a fixed obligation with a LIBOR rate at 5.06%. By entering into the interest rate collar agreement, we effectively provided a cap of 5.5%See Note 2(y) and a floor of 4.33% on LIBOR rates on $15.0 million of floating rate debt under our credit facility. 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. 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.
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 loss of $0.6 million as of June 27, 2009 and AOCI, net of taxes, of a loss of $0.5 million as of June 28, 2008.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 June 27, 200930, 2012 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 20092012 included all of our operations other than our operations associated with the March 29, 2009 acquisition of Gekko Brands by our new wholly-owned subsidiary, To The Game, LLC. In accordance with the SEC’s published guidance, because we acquired these operations during the fiscal year, we excluded these operations from our efforts to comply with Section 404 Rules with respect to fiscal year 2009. As of June 27, 2009, total assets for the operations of To The Game, LLC were approximately $5.6 million and total revenues for these operations for the period ended June 27, 2009, were approximately $6.8 million.operations. Based on our evaluation, excluding our operations discussed above, our management has concluded that, as of June 27, 2009,30, 2012, our internal control over financial reporting is effective.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 27, 200930, 2012 has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, who also audited our consolidated financial statements.

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 June 27, 2009,30, 2012, 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.
As indicated in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management’s assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of To The Game, LLC which is included in the 2009 consolidated financial statements of Delta Apparel, Inc. and subsidiaries and constituted $5.6 million and $0.1 million of total and net assets, respectively, as of June��27, 2009 and $6.8 million and $0.1 million of revenues and net income, respectively, for the year then ended. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of Delta Apparel, Inc. and subsidiaries also did not include an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of To The Game.
In our opinion, Delta Apparel, Inc. and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 27, 2009,30, 2012, based on the COSO 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 June 27, 200930, 2012 and June 28, 2008July 2, 2011 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 June 27, 200930, 2012 of Delta Apparel, Inc. and subsidiaries, and our report dated AugustSeptember 28, 20092012 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

The 2009, 20082012 and 20072011 fiscal years were 52-week years and ended on June 27, 2009, June 28, 200830, 2012 and June 30, 2007,July 2, 2011, respectively. The 2010 fiscal year was a 53-week year and ended on July 3, 2010.
(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, and income tax assets and related valuation allowance, and self-insurance reserves.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

(e) Cash:(f) Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash and temporary investments with original maturities of three months or less.
(f)(g) Accounts Receivable:Accounts receivable consists primarily of receivables from our customers arising from the sale of our products, and we generally do not require collateral.collateral from our customers. We actively monitor our exposure to credit risk through the use of credit approvals and credit limits. During fiscal years 2009, 2008 and 2007, we assigned a portion ofAt June 30, 2012, our tradenet accounts receivable at our Junkfood division under a factoring agreement. The factoring agreement was terminated effective on July 7, 2009 and as$73.3 million, consisting of August 28, 2009 we had $50 thousand due from factor. We account for our assignment of receivables under our factoring agreement as a sale$75.6 million in accordance with FASB Statement No. 140,Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments

F-7


of Liabilities. The assignment of these receivables is without recourse, provided that the customer orders are approved by the factor prior to shipment of the goods, up to a maximum for each individual account. The agreement does not include provisions for advances from the factor against the assigned receivables. The factor funds the accounts receivable upon collection, or, exclusiveand $2.3 million in reserves. At July 2, 2011, our net accounts receivable was $76.2 million, consisting of disputed claims, upon 90 days after$78.0 million  in accounts receivable and $1.8 million in reserves.
We estimate the due date. The amount due from the factor is included innet collectibility of our accounts receivable on our consolidated balance sheetsand 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 the amount due from factorcustomer payment terms. In addition, reserves are includedestablished for other concessions that have been extended to customers, including advertising, markdowns and other accommodations, net of historical recoveries. These reserves are determined based upon historical deduction trends and evaluation of current market conditions. Bad debt expense was 0.1%, 0.1% and 1.5%, of net sales in our cash flows from operations. At June 27, 2009, our trade accounts receivable less allowances was $55.9 million, consisting of $57.3 million in unfactored accounts receivable, $1.6 million due from factor,2012, 2011 and $3.0 million in allowances. At June 28, 2008, our accounts receivable less allowances was $61.0 million, consisting of $60.4 million in unfactored accounts receivable, $3.4 million due from factor, and $2.8 million in allowances.2010, respectively.
(g)(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. Estimated lossesoverhead on inventories representmanufactured inventory, and all direct and associated costs, including inbound freight, to acquire sourced products. We regularly review inventory quantities on hand 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.forecasted product demand to reduce inventory to its net realizable value. See Note 2(x) for further information regarding yarn procurements.
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, we recorded a $16.2 million lower of cost or market write-down on the inventory in the Delta Catalog business and its firm purchase commitments for yarn resulting from historically high cotton prices in its inventory costs combined with declining selling prices. The majorityestimation of ourthe total write-down involves management judgments and assumptions including assumptions regarding future selling price forecasts, the allocation of raw materials are readily available,between business units, the estimated costs to complete, disposal costs and we are not dependent on a single supplier.normal profit margin. The inventory and yarn firm purchase commitments associated with this inventory write-down was sold during our fiscal year 2012.
(h)(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 twentytwenty-five 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.
(i)(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 Statement of Financial Accounting StandardFASB Codification No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets360, 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.
(l) Goodwill and Intangibles: We recorded $1.5 million in impairment losses in our Activewear segment during fiscal year 2007goodwill and intangibles with definite lives, including trade names and trademarks, customer relationships, technology, and non-compete agreements, in conjunction with our restructuring activities. 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.
(j) Goodwill and Intangibles:Certain intangibles and goodwill were recorded upon the acquisitionacquisitions of Junkfood Clothing Company in fiscal year 2006, including the trade name and trademarks, customer relationships, non-compete agreements and goodwill. Earnout payments associated with the acquisition increased goodwill by $5.9 million.Art 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 is 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.
(k)(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, a significant adverse change in business climate, increased competition or other economic conditions. Under SFAS 142,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 2012, Junkfood iswas the only reporting unit 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. We estimate fair value of the applicable reporting unit or units using a discounted cash flow methodology. This represents a level 3 fair value measurement as defined under ASC 820, Fair ValueMeasurements and Disclosures, since the inputs are not readily observable in the marketplace. 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 ratesresults, which we believe represent those of a market participant. We select a discount rate, which is used to reflect market-based estimates of the risks associated with the projected cash flows

flows, 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 second fiscal quarter of 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 the first dayend of ourthe second quarter of fiscal year 2009 third quarter.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 second quarter of fiscal 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-Readybranded 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 duringin fiscal year 2009 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 estimated2011.   At June 30, 2012, the fair value of allthe contingent consideration was remeasured based on Art Gun's historical and current operating results and projections, remained de minimis, and no amounts are expected to be paid under the terms of the arrangements.
We completed our annual impairment test of goodwill on the first day of our reporting units by discounting their estimated future cash flows to present value and reconciledthird fiscal quarter using actual results through the aggregate estimated fair valuelast day of all reporting units to the trading value ofsecond fiscal quarter. Based on the valuation, there is not an impairment on the goodwill associated with Junkfood, the only goodwill recorded on our common stock, noting a reasonable control premium.financial statements.
Given the current macro economicmacro-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.
(l)(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 paid and historical claim amounts. We had self-insurance reserves of approximately $497,000$0.7 million and $595,000$0.6 million at June 27, 200930, 2012 and June 28, 2008,July 2, 2011, respectively.
(m) Internally Developed Software Costs.We account for internally developed software in accordance with Statement of Position 98-1,Accounting for Computer Software Developed for or obtained for Internal Use. 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.
(n)(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.
(o)(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.
(p)(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, picking and packing, and shipping goods for delivery to our customers. Distribution costs included in selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $13.6$16.4 million $14.3, $14.3 million  and $14.1$14.0 million in fiscal years 2009, 20082012, 2011 and 2007,2010, 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.

F-9


(q)(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 Emerging Issues Task Force IssueFASB Codification No. 01-9,Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products)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 $4.4$4.3 million $4.3, $6.7 million  and $4.5$5.3 million in fiscal years 2009, 20082012, 2011 and 2007,2010, respectively. Included in these costs were $1.9$2.0 million $1.5, $1.9 million and $1.8$2.2 million in fiscal years 2009, 20082012, 2011 and 2007,2010, respectively, related to our cooperative advertising programs.

We remeasure those assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies using exchange rates in effect at each balance sheet date. Fixed assetsExchange Commission Staff Accounting bulletin No. 107 ("SAB 107"), and the related depreciation or amortization charges are recorded atSecurities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 ("SAB 110").

These gains and losses are immaterial for all periods presented.operations over the vesting period.
(t) Earnings (Loss) per Share:We compute basic earnings per share ("EPS") by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year pursuant to FASB StatementCodification No. 128,260, Earnings Per Share(“SFAS 128” (“ASC 260”). Basic EPS includes no dilution. Diluted earnings per shareEPS is calculated, as set forth in SFAS 128,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 SFAS 123(R)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 2009, weighted average shares from stock options

We remeasure those assets and awards totaling 999,349 were not includedliabilities denominated in foreign currencies using exchange rates in effect at each balance sheet date. Fixed assets and the computation of diluted earnings per share since their inclusion would have an anti-dilutiverelated accumulated depreciation or amortization are recorded at the exchange rates in effect on earnings per share.
(u) Yarn and Cotton Procurements:On January 5, 2005, in conjunction with the sale of our yarn spinning facility in Edgefield, South Carolina, we entered into a five-year supply agreement with Parkdale America, LLC to supply our yarn requirements. On June 26, 2009, we amended the agreement to extend its expiration date to December 31, 2011. The amendment also adjusted the conversion costs, waste factors, basis and carry costs. All other terms in the agreement remained the same. Under the supply agreement, we purchase from Parkdale all yarn required by Delta Apparel and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, for use in our manufacturing operations (excluding yarns that Parkdale did not manufacture as of the date ofwe acquired the original agreementassets. Revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured using average exchange rates for all periods presented. We recognize the ordinary course of its business or due to temporary Parkdale capacity restraints). 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 pricesresulting foreign exchange gains and cotton price movements, which could result in unfavorable yarn pricing for us. We fix the cotton priceslosses as a component of the purchase price of yarn with Parkdale, 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.
(v) Stock Optionother income and Incentive Award Plans:Stock-based compensation is accounted for under the provisions of SFAS 123(R) and the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107,Share-Based Payment(“SAB 107”). SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized as expense using a fair value method. We estimate the fair value of stock-based compensation using the Black-Scholes option 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.

These gains and unrealized (losses) gains from cash flow hedges 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 2009 and 2008 consisted of $0.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively,losses are immaterial for two interest rate swap agreements and an interest rate collar agreement.all periods presented.
(x)(v) Fair Value of Financial Instruments:We use financial instruments in the normal course of our business. The carrying values approximate fair valuevalues 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 (Loss) 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 2012 and 2011 consisted of $0.1 million and $14 thousand, respectively, related to interest rate swap agreements.
(x) Yarn and Cotton Procurements:We have a supply agreement with Parkdale America, LLC (“Parkdale”) to supply our yarn requirements until March 31, 2013. 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.We are currently in discussions to secure a new agreement to supply our yarn requirements and do not believe a new agreement would change any competitive position we may currently have associated with the supply agreement.
(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 SFASFASB Codification No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments815, Derivatives and Hedging Activities (“ASC 815”), as amended. SFAS No. 133ASC 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 fair value in cost of sales.
No raw material option agreements were purchased during fiscal year 2009, 2008 or 2007. On April 2, 2007, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement and interest rate collar agreement to manage our interest rate exposure and effectively reduce the impact of future interest changes. Both agreements mature (or expire) on April 1, 2010. By entering into the interest rate swap agreement, we effectively converted $15.0 million of floating rate debt under our credit facility to a fixed obligation with a LIBOR rate at 5.06%. By entering into the interest rate collar agreement, we effectively provided a cap of 5.5% and a floor of 4.33% on LIBOR rates on $15.0 million of floating rate debt under our credit facility. 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. 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.
We are exposed to counterparty credit risks on all of our derivatives. Because these amounts are recorded at fair value, the full amount of our exposure is the carrying value of these instruments. We only enter into derivative transactions with well established institutions. Therefore,institutions and

therefore we believe that ourthe counterparty credit risk is minimal.
No raw material option agreements were purchased during fiscal year 2012, 2011 or 2010. On September 1, 2011, we entered into three interest rate swap agreements, as follows:
Effective Date
Notational
Amount
LIBOR RateMaturity Date
Interest Rate Swap9/1/2011$10 million0.7650%9/1/2013
Interest Rate Swap9/1/2011$10 million0.9025%3/1/2014
Interest Rate Swap9/1/2011$10 million1.0700%9/1/2014
We assessed these agreements and concluded that the swap agreements match the exact terms of the underlying debt except for a slight timing difference. We use a hypothetical derivative method to assess and measure ineffectiveness associated with the hedge each reporting period. During fiscal year 2012, the interest rate swap agreements had minimal ineffectiveness and were considered highly-effective hedges.
The changes in fair value of the interest rate swap and collar agreements resulted in an AOCI loss, net of taxes, of $0.1 million loss and $0.6 million loss for the yearsyear ended June 27, 200930, 2012 and June 28, 2008, respectively.an AOCI gain, net of taxes, of $0.1 million the year ended July 2, 2011. See Note 15(d) - Derivatives for further details.

SFAS 141(R) applies to all transactions or other events in whichgoodwill impairment exists, an entity obtains control of one or more businesses, and combinations achieved without the transfer of consideration. SFAS 141(R) will be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after June 28, 2009. We expect SFAS 141(R) will havemust consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating an impact on our accounting for future business combinations, but the effect is dependent upon the acquisitions that are made in the future.
In February 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 141(R)-1,Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies(“FSP 141(R)-1”). This standard 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 FASB Statement No. 5,Accounting for Contingencies, and FASB Interpretation No. 14,Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of the Loss. FSP 141(R)-1 will be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is

on or after June 28, 2009. We expect FSP 141(R)-1 will have an impact on our accounting for future business combinations, but the effect is dependent upon the acquisitions that are made in the future.
In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157,Fair Value Measurements(“SFAS 157”), whichimpairment may exist. ASU 2010-28 is effective for fiscal years, beginning after November 15, 2007, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. SFAS 157 is a principles-based standard intended to provide a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), clarify the definition of fair value within that framework, and expand disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not address which items are to be measured at fair value or when this measurement should be used in accounting. Weyears, beginning after December 15, 2010. ASU 2010-28 was adopted SFAS 157 on June 29, 2008, and the adoption had no material impact on our financial position and results of operations. Our only asset or liability that is measured at fair value on a recurring basis is the liability for our interest rate swap and collar agreements. See Note 14(d) for further information on the fair value of our interest rate swap and collar agreements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-4,Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly(“FSP 157-4”). FSP 157-4 provides guidelines for making fair value measurements more consistent with the principles presented in SFAS 157 in determining fair values when there is no active market or where the price inputs being used represent distressed sales. Specifically, it reaffirms the need to use judgment to ascertain if a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining fair values when markets have become inactive. FSP 157-4 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. We adopted FSP 157-4 on June 27, 2009,July 3, 2011 , and the adoption had no impact on our financial position and results of operations.statements.
In February 2007,May 2011, the FASB issued FASB StatementASU No. 159,The 2011-04, Fair Value OptionMeasurement (Topic 820) - Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure 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 AssetsReporting Standards. 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 Financial Liabilities(“SFAS 159”), which permits companiesa qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of the measurements to choose to measure certainchanges in the unobservable inputs; (b) for the use of a nonfinancial asset that is different from the asset’s highest and best use, the reason for the difference; (c) for financial instruments and certain other itemsnot measured at fair value. The standard requires that unrealized gains and losses on itemsvalue but for which disclosure of fair value is required, the fair value hierarchy level in which the fair value option has been electedmeasurements were determined; and (d) the disclosure of all transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. ASU 2011-04 is effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and applied on a prospective basis. ASU 2011-04 was adopted on January 1, 2012 and did not have a material effect on our financial statements.
(aa) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted: In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Presentation of Comprehensive Income ("ASU 2011-05"). This new guidance gives companies two choices on how to present items of net income, items of other comprehensive income and total comprehensive income: companies can create one continuous statement of comprehensive income or two separate consecutive statements. Other comprehensive income will no longer be reportedallowed to be presented solely in earnings. SFAS 159the statement of stockholders' equity. Earnings per share would continue to be based on net income. ASU 2011-05 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after NovemberDecember 15, 2007. We adopted SFAS 1592011 and applied on a retrospective basis. ASU 2011-05 is therefore effective for our fiscal year ending June 29, 2008,2013, and did not elect to record any other financial instruments or other items at fair value. Therefore,we are evaluating the adoption of SFAS 159 had no impactdisclosure presentation on our financial position and results of operations.statements.
In December 2007,2011, the FASB issued FASB StatementASU 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 160,Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements2011-05 (“SFAS 160”"ASU 2011-12"),. ASU 2011-12 indefinitely defers the new provisions under ASU 2011-05, which requires allrequired entities to report noncontrolling (minority) interestspresent reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component in subsidiaries as equityboth the statement in which net income is presented and the consolidatedstatement in which other comprehensive income is presented for both interim and annual financial statements. SFAS 160ASU 2011-12 is effective for usthe years beginning after December 15, 2011. It is therefore effective for our fiscal year ending June 29, 2013, and we are evaluating the disclosure presentation on our financial statements.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Testing Goodwill for Impairment ("ASU 2011-08") . The Board decided to simplify how companies are required to test goodwill for impairment. Companies now have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (likelihood of more than 50%) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If after considering the totality of events and circumstances a company determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it will not have to perform the two-

step impairment test. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. If a company has not yet issued their financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period, the company may choose to perform the qualitative assessment. ASU 2011-08 will be effective for our fiscal year ending June 28, 2009,29, 2013, and we do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161,Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities(“SFAS 161”), an amendment to SFAS 133, which is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities, requiring entities to disclose (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedge items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. We adopted SFAS 161 on December 28, 2008. The additional disclosure requirements are presented in Note 14—Commitments and Contingencies.
In May 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 165,Subsequent Events(“SFAS 165”). SFAS 165 establishes general standards of accounting and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. We adopted SFAS 165 on June 27, 2009. The additional disclosure requirements are presented in Note 2(aa).
In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168,FASB Accounting Standards and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles(“SFAS 168”). SFAS 168 replaces SFAS 162 and establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) as the single source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. SFAS 168 and the Codification are effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. When effective, the Codification will supersede all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. We will adopt and implement SFAS 168 during the first quarter of fiscal year 2010.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets(“FSP 142-3”). FSP 142-3 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 SFAS 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. FSP 142-3 is effective for financial statements for us on June 28, 2009, and we do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our accounting for the future acquisition of intangible assets.

In November 2008, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 08-6,Equity Method Investment Accounting Considerations(“EITF 08-6”). EITF 08-6 clarifies accounting for certain transactions and impairment considerations involving the equity method, including initial measurement, decrease in investment value and change in level of ownership or degree of influence. EITF 08-6 is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of EITF 08-6 will have on our financials position and results of operations and do not expect that the adoption of EITF 08-6 will have a material impact on our financial statements.
(aa) Subsequent Events:We evaluated the need for disclosures and/or additional adjustments resulting from subsequent events through August 28, 2009, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. We did not identify any further subsequent events that required disclosure and/or adjustments in our financial statements.

On September 21, 2007,May 27, 2011, Delta Apparel, Soffe, Junkfood, To The Game and M. J. Soffe Co.Art Gun entered into a ThirdFourth Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amended Loan Agreement”) with Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Agent, and the financial institutions named in the Amended Loan Agreement as Lenders. Lenders, 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 the Amended Loan Agreement, Israel Discount Bank of New York was removed from the syndicate of lenders under the credit facility, and 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 previouspreviously existing credit facility was extended to September 21, 2012,May 26, 2016 and the line of credit available was increased to $100$145 million (subject to borrowing base limitations based onlimitations), which represents an increase of $35 million in the value and type of collateral provided). On March 30, 2009, we invokedamount that was previously available under the accordion feature incredit facility. Under the Amended Loan Agreement, increasingprovided that no event of default exists, we have the option to increase the maximum line of credit from $100 million to $110 million and adding PNC Bank, National Association to the syndicate of lendersavailable under the facility to $200 million (subject to borrowing base limitations), conditioned upon the Agent's ability to secure additional commitments and customary closing conditions. In fiscal year 2011, we paid $1.4 million in financing costs in conjunction with a $10 million commitment.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, and To The Game, LLC.and Art Gun. 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$0.2 million per month 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 June 30, 2012, we had $104.0 million outstanding under our U.S. credit facility at an average interest rate of 2.6%, and had the ability to borrow an additional $33.6 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 1.101.1 to 1.0 and otherwise1.0. As availability was above the minimum, we were not subject to the FCCR covenant at June 30, 2012. In addition, the credit facility includes customary conditions to funding, representations and warranties, covenants, and events of default.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007, we entered into a loan agreement 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 time the interest rate increases to 6.5%7% for the remaindera term of the term. The loan is payable monthly, has a five-year termseven years and is denominated in U.S. dollars. AtDuring the first 12 months of the term, the 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 June 27, 2009,30, 2012, we had $10.3$5.5 million outstanding on this loan. The revolving credit facility has a 7% fixed interest rate with an ongoing 18-month term (expiring March 2018) and is denominated in U.S. dollars. The 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 June 30, 2012, we had $5 million outstanding on this loan.

In fiscal year 2012, we generated federal net operating losses of $20.0 million. We have classified this net operating loss in income taxes receivable as we believe this asset is fully realizable as we intend to carry this loss back against the taxable income from fiscal years 2011 and 2010, which can sufficiently cover this loss.

As of June 27, 2009,30, 2012, we had $2.8$1.0 million of charitable contribution carryforwards for federal income tax purposes resulting in a deferred tax asset of which $1.6$0.4 million. In fiscal year 2013, $0.9 million of the charitable carryforward expires, with the remaining $0.1 million expiring in fiscal year 2012, and $1.2 million expires in fiscal year 2013.2014. The future charitable contribution deduction isin limited to 10% of taxable income for each year. As a result,Based on our forecasts, we expect that we will have sufficient taxable income to use all of the charitable contributions before they expire. Therefore, we determined that no valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset related toassociated with the charitable contribution carryoverscarryforward is reduced by a valuation allowance to result in deferred tax assets we consider more likely than not to be realized within the statutory time period.required.
As of June 27, 200930, 2012 and June 28, 2008,July 2, 2011, we had operating loss carryforwards of approximately $22.3$31.1 million and $21.0$12.0 million, respectively, for state purposes.purposes, resulting in deferred tax assets of $1.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively. These carryforwards expire at various intervals through 2029.2032. 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. TheThere was a fourteen thousand net change in the total valuation allowance for the year ended June 27, 2009 was a decrease of $0.9 million. This reversal of the prior established valuation allowance related to state net operating losses was the result of implementation of planning strategies finalized on December 31, 2008.30, 2012. 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.

FASB InterpretationCodification No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in 740, Income Taxes(“FIN 48” (“ASC 740”) on July 1, 2007. FIN 48 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 20052008 to 2008,2011, according to statute, remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject. Upon adoption of FIN 48,ASC 740, we did not have any material unrecognized tax benefits, nor did we have any material unrecognized tax benefits as of June 27, 2009.30, 2012.

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 $1.0$1.3 million $1.0, $1.2 million and $0.9$1.1 million to the 401(k) Plan during fiscal years 2009, 2008,2012, 2011, and 2007,2010, 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 year 2009years 2012 and 5.15% for fiscal year 2008.2011.

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"). Upon shareholder approval of the 2010 Stock Plan, no additional awards have been or will be granted 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 stock awards have and will be granted under the 2010 Stock Plan. We account for these plans pursuant to SFAS 123(R)ASC 718, SAB 107 and SAB 110.

The 2010 Stock Plan limits the number of shares that may be covered by awards to any participant in a given calendar year and keyalso limits the aggregate awards of restricted stock, restricted stock units and middle level executives forperformance stock granted in any given calendar year. If a participant dies or becomes disabled (as defined in the purchase of our stock at prices not less than the fair market value of the shares on the dates of grant, with an exercise term (as determined2010 Stock Plan) while employed by the Compensation Committee) not to exceed 10 years.or serving as a director, all unvested awards become fully vested. The Compensation Committee determinesis authorized to establish the vesting period for our stock options. Generally, such stock options become exercisable over four years. Certain optionterms and conditions of awards provide for accelerated vesting upon meeting specific retirement, death or disability criteria. During fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007, we granted options for 10,000, 286,000 and 88,000 shares, respectively, of our common stock. 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 2009, 2008 and 2007 were specified as being non-qualified stock options. At June 27, 2009, we had 322,000 shares available for grant under the Option Plan.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.

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 yearsyear ended 2009, 2008 and 2007:2011:

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 2009, 2008 and 2007,2011 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.

During fiscal year 2012, performance units representing 299,450 shares of our common stock were granted. Of this amount, 52,000 units were based on the achievement of certain performance criteria for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 and would have vested upon the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2012; however, the performance criteria was not met. An additional 91,450 units are based on the achievement of certain performance criteria for the two years period ended June 29, 2013 and will vest with the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2013, subject to the achievement of the performance goals. These performance units will be payable in the common stock of Delta Apparel, Inc. and are therefore accounted for under the equity method pursuant to ASC 718.
The remaining 156,000 units are based on the achievement of one-year performance criteria for each of the fiscal years 2013, 2014 and 2015, with one third of such units eligible to vest with the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for each of the fiscal years.

Option Plan
Prior to expiration of the Option Plan, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors had the discretion to grant options for up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock to officers and key and middle level executives for the purchase of our stock at prices not less than fifty percent of the fair market value of the shares on the dates of grant, with an exercise term (as determined by the Compensation Committee) not to exceed 10 years. The Compensation Committee determined the vesting period for the stock options, which generally became exercisable over three to four years. Certain option awards in the Option Plan provided for accelerated vesting upon meeting specific retirement, death or disability criteria. No options were granted under the Option Plan during fiscal years 2012 or 2011. During fiscal year 2010, we granted non-qualified options for 28,000 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 years 2012, 2011 and 2010, we expensed $0.3 million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, in conjunction with our Option Plan. Associated with the compensation cost for the Option Plan are recognized tax benefits of $0.1 million, $0.1 million, and $0.3 million for each of fiscal years 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
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 2010:

 2012 2011 2010
Risk-free interest rateN/A N/A 3%

Expected volatilityN/A N/A 51%
Expected dividend yieldN/A N/A %
Weighted-average per share fair value of options grantedN/A N/A $3.53
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 2010 and 2009, 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 annual dividend in relation to our historical average stock price.

NOTE 15—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
(a) Litigation
On May 17, 2006, adversary proceedings were filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina against both Delta Apparel, Inc. and M. J. Soffe Co. in which the bankruptcy trustee, on behalf of the debtor National Gas Distributors, LLC, alleges that Delta and Soffe each
We received avoidable “transfers” of propertyan inquiry from the debtor.U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (“Commission”) regarding a children's drawstring hoodie product sourced, distributed and sold by our Junkfood division and its compliance with applicable product safety standards. The Trustee alleges that certain transactionsCommission subsequently investigated the matter, including whether we complied with the reporting requirements of Consumer Product Safety Act (“CPSA”), and the garments in 2005 between the debtor and Delta and Soffe for the delivery of natural gasquestion were ultimately recalled. On or about July 25, 2012, Junkfood received notification from the debtor were either made by the debtor with actual intent to defraud its creditors, or are constructively fraudulent transfers,Commission staff alleging that Junkfood knowingly violated CPSA Section 15(b) and that Delta and Soffe paid less than the reasonably equivalent value for the natural gas. The Trustee further alleges that Delta and Soffe should repayit will recommend to the bankruptcy estate the difference between the market value of the natural gas purchased by them and the price paid by Delta and Soffe. The amount of these claims is approximately $0.7 million plus interest against Delta and $0.2 million plus interest against Soffe. Additionally, the Trustee claims that Soffe received preferential transfers in the amount of approximately $0.1 million in the form of refund payments made to Soffe by the debtor for natural gas transactions that occurred within 90 days of the debtor’s bankruptcy petition.
Commission a $900,000 civil penalty. We contend that the claims of the Trustee have no merit and have filed counterclaims. Delta and Soffe each filed motions for summary judgment in an attempt to dispose of all claims. Commission's allegations are without merit.

On August 25, 2009,27, 2012, Junkfood responded to the Court issuedCommission staff regarding its recommended penalty, setting forth a ruling denyingnumber of defenses and mitigating factors that could result in a much lower penalty, if any, ultimately imposed by a court should the motions for summary judgment by Delta and Soffe and granting partial summary judgment in favor of the Trustee, eliminating one of the defenses raised by Delta and Soffe in these adversary proceedings. Delta and Soffematter proceed to litigation. While we will continue to defend against these claims going forward. Ifallegations, we believe it is probable that a liability has been incurred. Based upon the Trustee prevails with respect to allterms of previously published CPSC settlements and related product recall notices, we believe if we settle the matter the minimum settlement amount would be $25 thousand. Should the Commission seek enforcement of the recommended civil penalty and ultimately prevail on its claims at trial, Delta and Soffewe could be required to pay amounts up to the $1.1 million in aggregate to the bankruptcy estate,exceeding $900,000, along with a possibility that the Trustee might recover interest and the Commission's costs on any amount awarded at trial.and fees. As of June 30, 2012 we have recorded a liability for the most likely outcome within this range.

In addition, 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.

On July 18, 2007, we announced plans to restructure our textile manufacturing operations. The restructuring plan included the closing
(e) License Agreements
We have entered into license agreements that provide for royalty payments of our manufacturing facility in Fayette, Alabama, the expensingnet sales of excess costs associated with the integration of FunTees and the start-up expenses related to the opening of our Honduran textile facility. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007, we evaluated the ongoing value of our production building and associated machinery, equipment and parts in Fayette, Alabama, which were includedlicensed products as set forth in the Activewearagreements. These license agreements are within our branded segment. We have incurred royalty expense (included in selling, general and administrative expenses) of approximately $15.2 million, $12.4 million and $11.6 million during fiscal years 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively.
Based on this evaluation, we concluded that the long-lived assets at the Fayette plant with a carrying value of $1.9 million were no longer recoverable and were impaired, and therefore wrote them down to their estimated fair value of $0.4 million. Fair value was based on expectedminimum sales requirements, future cash flows to be generated. This resulted in a $1.5 million write-down of the assets, which is reflected on the Statement of Operations line item “Restructuring costs.” These assetsminimum royalty payments required under these license agreements are included in the Activewear segment. The restructuring plan also included fiscal year 2007 charges to cost of sales of $5.4 million related to expensing excess manufacturing costs associated with the integration of the FunTees business into our existing Maiden, NC facility. During fiscal year 2008, we incurred an additional $4.9 million in charges associated with the restructuring plan. Of these charges, $4.8 million was associated with the start-up of Ceiba Textiles with the remaining $0.1 million due to the closing of our Fayette facility. All charges associated with the restructuring plan were recorded in our Activewear segment.(in thousands):
