VF CORPORATION

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

Note A – Basis of Presentation

VF Corporation (and its subsidiaries, collectively known as “VF”) operates and reports using a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31 of each year. For presentation purposes herein, all references to periods ended June 2009, December 2008 and June 2008 relate to the fiscal periods ended on July 4, 2009, January 3, 2009 and June 28, 2008, respectively.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America for complete financial statements. Similarly, the December 2008 consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to make a fair statement of the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of VF for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 2009 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending January 2, 2010. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in VF’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 2008 (“2008 Form 10-K”).

Certain prior year amounts, none of which are material, have been reclassified to conform with the 2009 presentation.

Note B – Changes in Accounting Policies

During the first quarter of 2009, VF adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 141(Revised),Business Combinations,and a related FASB Staff Position No. FAS 141(R)-1,Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies(together, “Statement 141(R)”). Statement 141(R) revised how business combinations are accounted for, both at the acquisition date and in subsequent periods. Statement 141(R) changes the accounting model for a business acquisition from a cost allocation standard to recognition of the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the acquired business, regardless of whether a 100% or a lesser controlling interest is acquired. Early adoption of Statement 141(R) was not permitted.

During the first quarter of 2009, VF adopted FASB Statement No. 160,Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51(“Statement 160”). Statement 160 requires information about the company as a whole, with separate information relating to the parent or controlling owners and to the noncontrolling (minority) interests, and provides guidance on the accounting for transactions between an entity and noncontrolling interests. Statement 160 required retroactive adoption of its presentation and disclosure requirements, with all other requirements to be applied prospectively. Early adoption was not permitted. Accordingly, for VF’s previously issued financial statements:

•		Noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries were reclassified from Other Liabilities to a separate component of Stockholders’ Equity.

•		Consolidated net income was adjusted to separately present net income attributable to noncontrolling interests.

•

Consolidated comprehensive income was adjusted to separately present comprehensive income attributable to noncontrolling interests.

During the first quarter of 2009, VF adopted FASB Statement No. 161,Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which amended FASB Statement No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities(together, “Statement 133(R)”). Statement 133(R) requires expanded disclosures related to (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, operating results and cash flows. See Note M.

During the first quarter of 2009, VF adopted FASB Staff Position No. FAS 107-1,Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments(“FAS 107-1”). FAS 107-1 requires quarterly disclosures (rather than just annually) of the fair value of financial assets and liabilities. See Note L.

During the first quarter of 2009, VF adopted FASB Staff Position No. FAS 142-3,Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets(“FAS 142-3”). FAS 142-3 amended the factors to be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of an identified intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,and required expanded disclosures related to the determination of intangible asset useful lives. See Note D.

During the second quarter of 2009, VF adopted FASB Statement No. 165,Subsequent Events,which established general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. See Note O.

Note C–Acquisition

On March 11, 2009, VF completed the acquisition of Mo Industries Holdings, Inc. (“Mo Industries”), owner of theSplendid^Ò andElla Moss^Ò brands of premium sportswear marketed to upscale department and specialty stores. This transaction resulted in VF acquiring the remaining two-thirds equity of Mo Industries for a purchase price of $160.8 million (consisting of $156.1 million of cash and $4.7 million of notes) and payment of $52.3 million of debt. In June 2008, VF had acquired one-third of the outstanding equity of Mo Industries for $77.4 million. The agreement included put/call rights to acquire the remaining equity during the first half of 2009 at a price based on the acquired company’s earnings. The initial investment was recorded in Other Assets and was accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The carrying value of the investment was $80.5 million at the time of the March 2009 acquisition, consisting of the initial cost of the investment, plus the equity in net income of the investment to the date of acquisition. In accordance with Statement 141(R), VF recognized a gain in the first quarter of $0.3 million from remeasuring its one-third interest in Mo Industries to fair value. The gain was included in Miscellaneous Income in VF’s Consolidated Statement of Income. Mo Industries is being reported as part of the Contemporary Brands Coalition.

The following table summarizes the amounts of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed (including the fair value of the prior one-third equity investment) that were recognized at the date of acquisition. Recorded fair values are subject to adjustment for final valuations of income tax matters.


In thousands
Cash and equivalents	$	5,244
Other tangible assets		18,424
Intangible assets — indefinite-lived		98,900
Intangible assets — amortizable		115,700
Goodwill		142,796

Total assets acquired		381,064

Current liabilities		7,987
Other liabilities, primarily deferred income taxes		79,060

Total liabilities assumed		87,047

Net assets acquired		294,017

Fair value of VF’s prior equity investment		80,854


Purchase of two-thirds equity interest	$	213,163

Acquired intangible assets consisted of trademarks and customer relationships. Management believes theSplendid^Ò andElla Moss^Ò trademarks have indefinite lives. Customer relationship intangible assets are being amortized using an accelerated method over their 18 year useful life. Factors that contributed to the recognition of Goodwill included (i) expected growth rates and profitability of the acquired business, (ii) the ability to expand the brands within their markets and to new markets, (iii) an experienced workforce, (iv) VF’s strategies for growth in sales, income and cash flows and (v) expected synergies with existing VF business units. None of the Goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Amounts of Mo Industries’ revenues and earnings included in VF’s Consolidated Statement of Income for the second quarter were $16.0 million and $2.9 million and since the date of acquisition were $21.6 million and $4.3 million, respectively. Pro forma operating results for periods prior to the acquisition date are not provided because the acquisition was not material to VF’s results of operations. Acquisition expenses included in VF’s results of operations were not significant.

*		Amortization of customer relationships – accelerated methods; license agreements – accelerated and straight-line methods; trademarks and other – accelerated and straight-line methods.

The fair value of identified intangible assets is based on expected cash flows at the respective acquisition dates. These expected cash flows consider the stated terms of the rights or contracts acquired and expected renewal periods, if applicable. The number of renewal periods considered is based on management’s experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements, regardless of whether the acquired arrangements have explicit renewal or extension provisions. Trademark intangible assets represent individual acquired trademarks, some of which are registered in more than 100 countries. Because of the significant number of trademarks, renewal of those rights is an ongoing process, with individual trademark renewals ranging from 7 to 14 years and averaging 10 years. License intangible assets relate to numerous licensing contracts, with VF as either the licensor or licensee. Individual license renewals range from 3 to 5 years, with an average of 4 years. Costs incurred to renew or extend the lives of recognized intangible assets are not significant and are expensed as incurred.

Amortization expense of intangible assets for the second quarter and six months of 2009 was $10.3 million and $19.4 million, respectively. Estimated amortization expense for the remainder of 2009 is $21.8 million and for the years 2010 through 2013 is $39.3 million, $36.5 million, $34.4 million and $32.9 million, respectively.

VF currently anticipates making an additional $2.5 million of contributions to pay benefits under the SERP during the remainder of 2009. VF is not required under applicable regulations, and does not currently intend, to make a contribution to the qualified pension plan during 2009.

Note G – Business Segment Information

For internal management and reporting purposes, VF’s businesses are grouped principally by product categories, and by brands within those product categories. These groupings of businesses are referred to as “coalitions.” These coalitions are the basis for VF’s five reportable segments. Financial information for VF’s reportable segments is as follows:

Operating results of the John Varvatos business unit for 2008 have been reclassified from the Sportswear Coalition to the Contemporary Brands Coalition consistent with a change in internal management beginning in 2009.

Defined benefit pension plans in the United States are centrally managed. Coalition profit includes only the current year service cost component of pension cost. Other components of pension cost totaling $20.8 million for the three months ended June 2009 and $41.5 million for the six months ended June 2009, primarily representing amortization of deferred actuarial losses, are recorded in Corporate and Other Expenses. These components of pension cost recorded in Corporate and Other were not significant in the prior year.

Note H – Capital and Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Common stock outstanding is net of shares held in treasury, and in substance retired. There were 12,392,768 treasury shares at June 2009, 12,198,054 at December 2008 and 12,196,718 at June 2008. The excess of the cost of treasury shares acquired over the $1 per share stated value of Common Stock is deducted from Retained Earnings. In addition, 269,402 shares of VF Common Stock at June 2009, 261,092 shares at December 2008, and 255,638 shares at June 2008 were held in connection with deferred compensation plans. These shares held for deferred compensation plans are treated for financial reporting purposes as treasury shares at a cost of $12.3 million, $10.8 million and $10.2 million at each of the respective dates.

There are 25,000,000 authorized shares of Preferred Stock, $1 par value, of which none are outstanding.

Other comprehensive income consists of changes in assets and liabilities that are not included in Net Income under GAAP but are instead reported within a separate component of Stockholders’ Equity. VF’s comprehensive income was as follows:

Note I – Stock-based Compensation

During the first six months of 2009, VF granted options for 1,349,163 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $53.60, equal to the fair market value of VF Common Stock on the date of grant. The options vest in equal annual installments over a three year period. The fair value of these options was estimated using a lattice valuation model for employee groups having similar exercise behaviors, with the following assumptions: expected volatility ranging from 48% to 33%, with a weighted average of 38%; expected term of 4.9 to 7.4 years; expected dividend yield of 3.5%; and risk-free interest rate ranging from 0.5% at six months to 2.9% at 10 years. The resulting weighted average fair value of these options at the date of grant was $15.38 per option.

Also during the first six months of 2009, VF granted 376,291 performance-based restricted stock units. Participants are eligible to receive shares of VF Common Stock at the end of a three year performance period. The actual number of shares that will be earned, if any, will be based on VF’s performance over that period. The grant date fair value of the restricted stock units was $57.40 per unit. In addition, VF granted 10,000 restricted stock units at a fair value of $57.38 per share. These units will vest in 2014, assuming continuation of employment by the grantees to that date.

Note J – Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate was 27.3% for the first six months of 2009, compared with 31.4% in the comparable period of 2008. The lower rate in 2009 was due to a higher percentage of income and, in some cases, reduced tax rates outside the United States. The effective tax rate for the full year 2008 was 28.9%, which included the favorable impact from expiration of statutes of limitations in locations where tax contingencies were recorded in prior years, tax audit settlements and updated assessments of previously accrued amounts.

VF files a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return, as well as separate and combined income tax returns in numerous state and foreign jurisdictions. In the United States, tax years 2004 to 2006 are under examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Tax years 1998 to 2002 are under examination by the State of North Carolina, which has indicated its intent to examine tax years 2003 to 2005. Tax years 2003 to 2005 are under examination by the State of Alabama. In 2009, the State of California commenced an examination of tax years 2006 and 2007. VF is also currently subject to examination by various other taxing authorities. Management believes that some of these audits and negotiations will conclude during the next 12 months.

The amount of unrecognized tax benefits increased by $1.8 million during the first quarter of 2009 due to tax positions taken in the current period and decreased by $1.8 million during the second quarter of 2009 due to tax audit settlements. During the next 12 months, management believes that it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized income tax benefits may decrease by approximately $15 million due to settlements of audits and expiration of statutes of limitations in locations where tax contingencies had been recorded for open tax years, which includes $12 million that would reduce income tax expense.

Outstanding options to purchase 3.9 million shares and 4.8 million shares of Common Stock for the three and six months ended June 2009, respectively, and outstanding options to purchase 1.4 million shares for the three and six months ended June 2008, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect of their inclusion would have been antidilutive. In addition, .6 million restricted stock units for the three months and six months ended June 2009 and .5 million restricted stock units for the comparable periods of the prior year were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because they are subject to performance-based vesting conditions that had not been achieved by the end of those periods.

Note L – Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined in FASB Statement No. 157,Fair Value Measurements(“Statement 157”), as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants. In determining

fair value, Statement 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy that distinguishes between (i) market data obtained or developed from independent sources (i.e., observable data inputs) and (ii) a reporting entity’s own data and assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability (i.e., unobservable data inputs). Financial assets and financial liabilities measured and reported at fair value are classified in one of the following categories, in order of priority of observability and objectivity of pricing inputs:

•		Level 1 – Fair value based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•		Level 2 – Fair value based on significant directly observable data (other than Level 1 quoted prices) or significant indirectly observable data through corroboration with observable market data. Inputs would normally be (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in inactive markets for identical or similar assets or liabilities or (iii) information derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

•		Level 3 – Fair value based on prices or valuation techniques that require significant unobservable data inputs. Inputs would normally be a reporting entity’s own data and judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following table summarizes financial assets and financial liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis at the dates indicated:

Cash equivalents measured at fair value above represent funds held in institutional money market funds and time deposits at commercial banks. Derivative instruments represent unrealized gains or losses on foreign currency forward exchange contracts, which are the differences between (i) the functional currency to be received or paid at the contracts’ settlement date and (ii) the functional currency value of the foreign currency to be sold or purchased at the current forward exchange rate. Investment securities, consisting primarily of

mutual funds (classified as Level 1) and a separately managed fixed income fund (classified as Level 2), are purchased to offset a substantial portion of participant-directed investment selections representing underlying liabilities to participants in VF’s deferred compensation plans. Liabilities under deferred compensation plans are recorded at amounts payable to participants, based on the fair value of participant-directed investment selections.

The carrying value of other financial assets and financial liabilities is based on their cost, which may differ from fair value. At June 2009 and December 2008, the carrying value of VF’s cash held as demand deposits, accounts receivable, life insurance contracts, short-term borrowings, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximated their fair value. At June 2009 and December 2008, the carrying value of VF’s long-term debt, including the current portion, was $1,143.0 million and $1,144.9 million, respectively, compared with fair value of $1,100.8 million and $1,027.4 million at those dates. Fair value for long-term debt was estimated based on quoted market prices or values of comparable borrowings.

Note M – Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

VF is exposed to risks in its ongoing business operations. Some of these risks are managed by using derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are contracts whose value is based on, or “derived” from, changes in the value of an underlying currency exchange rate, interest rate or other financial asset or index.

VF conducts business in many foreign countries and therefore is subject to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Exchange rate fluctuations can have a significant effect on the translated U.S. dollar value of operating results and net assets denominated in foreign currencies. VF does not attempt to manage translation risk but does use derivative contracts to manage the exchange rate risk of specified cash flows or transactions denominated in various foreign currencies. VF manages exchange rate risk on a consolidated basis, which allows exposures to be netted. Use of derivative financial instruments allows VF to reduce the overall exposure to risks in its cash flows and earnings, since gains and losses on hedged exposures are offset by losses and gains in the value of the derivative contracts. In addition, in prior years VF had used derivatives in limited instances to hedge interest rate risk.

Accounting for derivative instruments– Statement 133(R) requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at their fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains and losses) of derivative instruments depends on whether a derivative has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and on the type of hedging relationship. The criteria used to determine if a derivative instrument qualifies for hedge accounting treatment are (i) whether an appropriate hedging instrument has been identified and designated to reduce a specific exposure and (ii) whether there is a high correlation between changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument and the identified exposure. A qualifying derivative is designated for accounting purposes, based on the nature of the hedging relationship, as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign business. VF’s hedging practices and related accounting policies are described in separate sections below. VF considers its foreign businesses to be long-term investments and accordingly does not hedge those net investments. VF does not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Hedging cash flows are classified in the statements of cash flows in the same category as the items being hedged.

VF formally documents hedging instruments and hedging relationships at the inception of each contract. Further, VF assesses, both at the inception of a contract and on an ongoing basis, whether the hedging instruments are effective in offsetting the risk of the hedged transactions. Occasionally, a portion of a derivative instrument will be considered ineffective in hedging the originally identified exposure due to a decline in amount or a change in timing of the hedged exposure. In those cases, hedge accounting treatment is discontinued for the ineffective portion of that hedging instrument.

The counterparties to the derivative contracts consist of financial institutions having A-rated investment grade credit ratings. To manage its credit risk, VF continually monitors the credit risks of its counterparties, limits its exposure in the aggregate and to any single counterparty, and adjusts its hedging positions as appropriate. The impact of VF’s credit risk and the credit risk of its counterparties, as well as the ability of each party to fulfill its obligations under the contracts, is considered in determining the fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts. Credit risk has not had a significant effect on the fair value of VF’s derivative contracts. VF does not have any credit risk-related contingent features or collateral requirements with its derivative contracts.

Summary of derivative instruments– All of VF’s derivative instruments meet the criteria for hedge accounting at the inception of the hedging relationship. However, derivative instruments that are cash flow hedges of forecasted cash receipts are dedesignated as hedges near the end of their term. Accordingly, those instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting after the date of dedesignation. Total notional amounts of outstanding derivative contracts at June 2009 and December 2008 were $786 million and $628 million, respectively, consisting of contracts hedging primarily exposures to the euro, British pound, Mexican peso and Canadian dollar. Derivative contracts, consisting of forward exchange contracts, have maturities ranging from one month to 18 months. Amounts of outstanding derivatives in the following table are presented on an individual contract basis:


	Derivatives with				Derivatives with

Other current assets	$	—	$	1,089
Accrued current liabilities		18,877		26,034
Other liabilities (noncurrent)		1,199		—

VF’s fair value hedge strategies and accounting policies– VF has a hedging program to reduce the risk that the future cash flows for firm commitments will be negatively impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. VF enters into derivative contracts to hedge intercompany loans between the United States and a foreign subsidiary or between two foreign subsidiaries having different functional currencies.

For a derivative instrument that is designated and qualifies as a fair value hedge (i.e., hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or liability attributable to a particular risk), changes in the fair value of

the derivative are recognized in earnings as an offset, on the same line, to the earnings impact of the underlying hedged item.

VF’s cash flow hedge strategies and accounting policies– VF has a hedging program to reduce the variability of forecasted cash flows denominated in foreign currencies. VF uses derivative contracts to hedge a portion of the exchange risk for its forecasted inventory purchases and production costs and for its forecasted cash receipts arising from sales of inventory. In addition, VF hedges the receipt in the United States of forecasted intercompany royalties from its foreign subsidiaries.

For a derivative instrument that is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge (i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected cash flows attributable to a particular risk), periodic changes in the fair value of the effective portion of the derivative are reported as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the balance sheet. The deferred derivative gain or loss is reclassified into earnings as an offset, on the same line, to the earnings impact of the underlying hedged transaction (e.g., in cost of goods sold when the hedged inventories are sold, or in net sales when the hedged item relates to cash receipts from forecasted sales). As discussed in the following section, cash flow hedges of forecasted cash receipts are dedesignated as hedges when the sale is recorded, and hedge accounting is not applied after that date.

Following is a summary of the effects of cash flow hedging relationships included in VF’s Consolidated Statements of Income:


In thousands								Gain (Loss) Reclassified

Total	$	(13,658	)	$	(1,277	)		$	2,029		$	5,717

Amounts recognized in earnings in the three and six months ended June 2009 for the ineffective portion of cash flow hedging relationships were not significant.

At June 2009, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) included $18.9 million of net deferred pretax losses for foreign exchange contracts that are expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next 12 months. Actual amounts to be reclassified to earnings will depend on exchange rates when currently outstanding derivative contracts are settled.

In addition, in 2003 VF entered into an interest rate swap derivative contract to hedge the interest rate risk for issuance of long-term debt due in 2033. The contract was terminated concurrent with the issuance of the debt, with the realized gain deferred in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). The remaining pretax gain of $2.8 million at June 2009, deferred in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), will be reclassified into earnings over the remaining term of the debt.

Derivative contracts not designated as hedges— As noted in the preceding section, cash flow hedges of forecasted cash receipts are dedesignated as hedges when the forecasted sale is recognized, and accordingly, hedge accounting is not applied after the date of dedesignation. These derivatives remain outstanding and serve as an economic hedge of foreign currency exposures related to the ultimate collection of the trade receivables. During this period that hedge accounting is not applied, changes in the fair value of the derivative contracts are recognized directly in earnings. For the three and six months ended June 2009, VF recorded net losses of $0.1 million in Other Income (Expense) for derivatives not designated as hedging instruments.

Note N – Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In March 2009, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 132(R)-1,Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets(“FAS 132(R)-1”). This Staff Position expands disclosure requirements to provide information about an employer’s defined benefit pension plans, including the major categories and fair values of plan assets, investment policies and strategies, and significant concentrations of credit risk. FAS 132(R)-1, effective for VF’s 2009 fiscal year, is not expected to have a significant effect on VF’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 168,The FASB Accounting Standards Codification^TMand the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162(“Statement 168”). Statement 168 establishes theFASB Accounting Standards Codification^TM (“the Codification”) as the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied to nongovernmental entities. The Codification also recognizes rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification, which will supersede all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards upon its effective date in the third quarter of 2009, does not change U.S. GAAP.

Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after June 2009 are not expected to have a significant effect on VF’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

Note O – Subsequent Events

VF’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.59 per share, payable on September 18, 2009 to shareholders of record on September 8, 2009.

VF granted options for 8,882 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $64.60 equal to the market price of VF Common Stock on the date of grant and 2,617 performance-based restricted stock units having a performance period through the end of 2011.

Management has evaluated subsequent events through August 11, 2009, the date of issuance of the financial statements.

Item 2 —Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

Impact of the Current Global Economic Environment

Our second quarter and first half of 2009 performance was negatively impacted by the deep global recessionary environment and its impact on consumer spending. While there have been some recent signs of stability, we expect difficult economic conditions to continue throughout 2009.

Highlights of the Second Quarter of 2009:

•		Although global volatility and challenging economic conditions have affected our businesses, we believe each of our largest brands —Wrangler^â,The North Face^â,Lee^â andVans^â— which combined account for over 60% of our total annual revenues, gained market share in most markets where sold. See the “Information by Business Segment” section below.

•		Revenues decreased 11% from the prior year quarter to $1,485.6 million, with 3% of the decrease resulting from the effects of foreign currency translation.

•		Our business in Asia continues to grow rapidly, with revenues up 13% in the quarter.

•		Our direct-to-consumer business grew 4% in the quarter, driven by higher sales and new store openings for ourThe North Face^â,Vans^â and7 for All Mankind^âbrands. At June 2009, we had 717 VF-operated retail stores.

•		Earnings per share declined to $0.68 from $0.94 in the prior year quarter, with $0.16 per share of the decline due to higher pension expense and foreign currency translation. (All per share amounts are presented on a diluted basis.)

•		Our balance sheet remains strong with a debt to total capital ratio of 29.1% and a net debt to total capital ratio of 23.4%. VF has over $1.0 billion of available liquidity under committed bank credit lines and no long-term debt payments due until late 2010.

Analysis of Results of Operations

Consolidated Statements of Income

The following table presents a summary of the changes in our Total Revenues from 2008:


	Second Quarter			Six Months
	2009			2009
	Compared			Compared
(In millions)	with 2008			with 2008
Total revenues – 2008	$	1,677		$	3,524
Impact of foreign currency translation		(52	)		(133	)
Organic growth		(160	)		(216	)
Acquisition in prior year (to anniversary date)		5			14
Acquisition in current year		16			22


Total revenues – 2009	$	1,486		$	3,211

The decrease in Total Revenues was due to challenging global economic conditions and volatility in foreign currency exchange rates that affected our businesses in the second quarter of 2009 — see the “Information by Business Segment” section below. The current year acquisition was Mo Industries Holdings, Inc. (“Mo Industries”), acquired in March 2009. See Note C to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

During the second quarter and first six months of 2009, approximately 27% and 30%, respectively, of Total Revenues were in international markets. Accordingly, our reported results are subject to both the translation and the transactional impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates from period-to-period. Foreign currencytranslationeffects result from translating a foreign entity’s financial statements from its functional currency into U.S. dollars, VF’s reporting currency. In translating foreign currencies into the U.S. dollar, a stronger U.S. dollar in relation to the functional currencies where VF conducts its international business (primarily the European euro countries) negatively impacted revenue comparisons by $53 million in the second quarter of 2009 and $133 million in the first half of 2009, compared with the 2008 periods. The weighted average translation rate for the euro was $1.33 per euro for the first half of 2009, compared with $1.51 during the first six months of 2008. If the U.S. dollar remains at the exchange rate at the end of the second quarter ($1.40 per euro), reported revenues for the third quarter of 2009 will be negatively impacted compared with 2008.

Foreign currencytransactioneffects result from the change in exchange rates on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of a foreign subsidiary. These impacts are operational in nature, impacting profit margins as well as U.S. dollars eventually reported. In our case, the most significant transaction impact arises within our European businesses and specifically from buying inventories in euros and selling them in non-euro denominated currencies such as the local currency in the United Kingdom, Eastern Europe, Russia and Turkey. Historically, euro and non-euro currencies of these European businesses have moved mostly in tandem, and accordingly the impact of currency rate movements within these businesses had been minimal. However, the current volatile environment has resulted in inconsistent relationships between euro and non-euro currencies, thus resulting in a considerable impact on profits and profit margins in these foreign businesses. Over time, these inconsistencies are expected to stabilize or will be compensated for through adjustments of selling prices or changes in product sourcing strategies. However, when these currency rate movements are as extreme as they were in late 2008 and early 2009, it is not practical to fully offset their impact in a short period.

The following table presents the percentage relationship to Total Revenues for components of our Consolidated Statements of Income:


	Three Months Ended June						Six Months Ended June
	2009			2008			2009			2008
Gross margin (total revenues less cost of goods sold)		43.9	%		43.8	%		43.0	%		44.5	%

Marketing, administrative and general expenses		35.8			34.0			34.2			32.9


Operating income		8.1	%		9.8	%		8.8	%		11.6	%

Gross margin as a percentage of Total Revenues increased 0.1% in the second quarter of 2009 from the prior year period. We benefited in the second quarter of 2009 from expanding gross margins in our Outdoor and Action Sports businesses and the impact of our direct-to-consumer revenues, which have higher gross margins than average, representing a higher percentage of our business. The gross margin percentage declined 1.5% in the first half of 2009 compared with the comparable period in 2008. This decline, all in the first quarter, reflected the negative impact from transaction effects of foreign currency movements discussed above and the challenging retail environment that resulted in higher discounting and, accordingly, lower gross margin rates.

Marketing, Administrative and General Expenses as a percentage of Total Revenues increased 1.8% in the second quarter of 2009. Approximately 1.5% of the increase was due to the higher expense of our defined

benefit pension plans. The growth of our direct-to-consumer business, which has higher expense ratios than our wholesale business, increased the 2009 ratio by 0.6%. Marketing, Administrative and General Expenses as a percentage of Total Revenues increased 1.3% in the first half of 2009 over the comparable period in the prior year. The ratio was higher in 2009 by 1.4% due to higher pension expense and 0.7% due to growth in our direct-to-consumer business. The increases in Marketing, Administrative and General Expense ratios for both the second quarter and first half 2009 were partially offset by the benefit of cost reduction actions taken in late 2008.

Interest income decreased $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2009 and $1.9 million in the first six months of 2009 from the comparable periods in 2008 due primarily to lower interest rates. Interest expense decreased $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2009 and $1.4 million in the first six months of 2009 from the comparable periods in 2008 due primarily to lower short-term interest rates. Average interest-bearing debt outstanding totaled $1,376 million for the first six months of 2009 and $1,400 million for the comparable period of 2008. The weighted average interest rate on total outstanding debt was 6.2% for the first six months of 2009 and 6.3% for the comparable period of 2008.

The effective income tax rate was 24.9% in the second quarter of 2009 and 27.3% for the first half of 2009, compared with 28.5% in the second quarter of 2008 and 31.4% for the first half of 2008. The lower rates in the 2009 periods were due primarily to a higher percentage of income in international jurisdictions, where effective tax rates are substantially lower. The effective income tax rates for the second quarter and first six months of 2009 were based on the expected annual rate, adjusted for discrete events arising during the respective periods.

Net Income Attributable to VF Corporation for the second quarter of 2009 decreased to $75.5 million, compared with $104.0 million in the 2008 quarter. Earnings per share attributable to VF Corporation decreased to $0.68 per share from $0.94 per share. Net Income Attributable to VF Corporation for the first six months of 2009 decreased to $176.5 million, compared with $253.0 million in the first half of 2008. Earnings per share for the first six months of 2009 decreased to $1.59 per share from $2.27 per share. The second quarter and first six months of 2009 were negatively impacted by (i) $0.13 and $0.25, respectively, due to the higher pension expense of our defined benefit pension plans and (ii) $0.03 and $0.13, respectively, from the impact of translating foreign currencies into a stronger U.S. dollar. The remainder of the declines in both 2009 periods was driven by the operating results of our businesses as discussed in the “Information by Business Segment” section below.

Information by Business Segment

VF’s businesses are grouped into product categories, and by brands within those product categories, for management and internal financial reporting purposes. These groupings of businesses within VF are referred to as “coalitions.” These coalitions are the basis for VF’s five reportable business segments.

See Note G to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of our results of operations by coalition, along with a reconciliation of Coalition Profit to Income Before Income Taxes. Operating results of the John Varvatos business unit for 2008 have been reclassified from the Sportswear Coalition to the Contemporary Brands Coalition consistent with the change in internal management beginning in 2009.

The following tables present a summary of the changes in our Total Revenues by coalition for the second quarter and first six months of 2009:

Note that the constant currency references below for Coalition Revenues are addressed by the “NonGAAP Financial Information” section later in Item 2.

Outdoor and Action Sports:

Revenues in our Outdoor and Action Sports businesses increased 2% in the 2009 quarter on a constant currency basis, while reported revenues were down 2%. Global revenues of our largest brand in this coalition,The North Face^â, declined slightly due to the effects of foreign currency translation in international markets. Global revenues ofVans^â, the coalition’s second largest brand, increased 12% led by strong growth in the United States. There was also significant growth in our Asia business, where revenues increased 32%. In addition, the Outdoor and Action Sports Coalition’s direct-to-consumer revenues increased 19% in the second quarter of 2009 over the prior year period, and reached 22% of Coalition Revenues, as we continue to open new retail stores and expand our e-commerce business.

Revenues in our Outdoor and Actions Sports businesses increased 2% in the first six months of 2009 on a constant currency basis compared with the first half of 2008, while reported revenues declined 4%. Global revenues increased for bothThe North Face^â andVans^âbrands, led by strong growth in the United States. In addition to 49% growth in the Asia business, the Outdoor and Action Sports Coalition’s direct-to-consumer revenues increased 17% in the first six months of 2009 over the first half of 2008.

Operating margins increased to 12.4% in the second quarter of 2009 from 11.2% in the prior year period. The increase was driven primarily by higher gross margins in the current year quarter, resulting from the changing mix of business toward higher gross margin retail revenues. This increase was partially offset by continuing investments to expand our direct-to-consumer business.

Operating margins declined from 14.2% in the first six months of 2008 to 13.9% in the first half of 2009, driven by investments to expand our direct-to-consumer business and the transactional impact of changes in foreign currency rates.

Jeanswear:

Jeanswear Coalition revenues declined 12% in the 2009 quarter on a constant currency basis. On a reported basis, coalition revenues declined 16%. Domestic jeanswear revenues were 12% lower in the 2009 quarter due to (i) a reduction in non-coreRiders^âbrand plus size and seasonal programs, (ii) a shift in the timing of product shipments as our customers continue to tightly manage the flow of their products and (iii) a loss of volume from customers who filed for bankruptcy in 2008. DomesticLee^â brand revenues declined 4% in the second quarter of 2009 from the prior year period, andWrangler^â brand revenues were down 6%. Despite these factors, we believe that we are gaining share in ourWrangler^â men’s,Lee^âmen’s and women’s, and coreRiders^âwomen’s businesses driven by the success of new product innovations and investments at retail in these brands. In international markets, jeanswear revenues declined 24%, with approximately one-half of the decline due to the effect of foreign currency translation and the remainder due

to recessionary conditions in Europe and the recent exit of our mass market jeans business in Europe. These declines were partially offset by a 10% increase in jeanswear revenues in China and from the Lee Spain acquisition completed in July 2008.

Revenues in our Jeanswear businesses decreased 6% in the first six months of 2009 on a constant currency basis compared with the first half of 2008, while reported revenues declined 11%. Domestic revenues were down 4% in the first half of 2009 from the prior year period due to the difficult retail environment and other factors discussed above. International jeanswear revenues decreased 23% in the six month period, with the foreign currency translation impact contributing over one-half of the decline and the remainder primarily due to recessionary conditions in Europe.

Operating margins increased from 12.1% in the second quarter of 2008 to 12.3% in the current quarter, reflecting actions taken in the second quarter of 2008 to improve our cost structure and lower spending in the 2009 quarter. These positive impacts on the current quarter comparison were partially offset by a lower gross margin percentage that resulted from a change in the mix of products sold.

Operating margins decreased from 14.8% in the first six months of 2008 to 12.9% in the first half of 2009. The decline was due to (i) foreign currency transaction effects in our European businesses, (ii) higher distressed inventory provisions and (iii) lower absorption of fixed overhead expenses, partially offset by the benefits of the cost reduction actions taken in the prior year and lower current year spending levels.

Imagewear:

Coalition Revenues declined 19% in the second quarter of 2009, with comparable declines in both our occupational apparel businesses and licensed sports businesses. Due to rising unemployment, uniform demand in all sectors except health care and government has declined significantly. The increase in unemployment has been most pronounced in the manufacturing and petrochemical sectors, which are serviced by our industrial and protective apparel businesses. Revenue declines in our licensed sports businesses were driven by the weak retail environment, which has particularly impacted discretionary spending against products like team sports apparel. Coalition Revenues declined 14% in the first half of 2009, compared with the first six months of 2008 due to the unemployment and retail environment factors mentioned above.

Operating margins declined from 12.7% in the second quarter of 2008 to 9.8% in the current quarter and from 13.1% in the first half of 2008 to 9.9% for the first six months of 2009. The industrial and protective businesses have driven disproportionate declines in coalition profit and margins, as these businesses have historically had higher profitability than the coalition average.

Sportswear:

Revenues in our Sportswear Coalition, which includes ourNautica^âbrand andKipling^â brand in North America, declined 23% in the 2009 quarter and 18% in the first half of 2009 compared with the comparable periods in the prior year. These decreases reflected the continuation of very challenging department and outlet store trends affectingNautica^âbrand revenues. In addition, a planned decrease in special programs in the off-price channel and our exit of the wholesale women’s sportswear business in mid-2008 accounted for more than one-half of the revenue declines in both 2009 periods.Kipling^â brand revenues increased 3% in the second quarter of 2009.

Operating margins declined from 10.7% in the second quarter of 2008 to 6.6% in the current quarter and from 6.5% in the first half of 2008 to 5.5% for the first six months of 2009. These declines were due to continued high levels of promotional activity in the department store channel. Also, although we have reduced operating expenses by 20% in the first half of 2009 compared with the prior year period, operating margins were impacted by revenue decreases in ourNautica^âbrand without comparable expense reduction.

The first half of the year is a seasonally low period for these businesses, with margins historically being well below full year results. We continue to expect better comparisons in the second half of the year.

Contemporary Brands:

Revenues of our Contemporary Brands Coalition, which consists of the7 For All Mankind^â,lucy^â,John Varvatos^â,Splendid^âandElla Moss^â brands rose 2% in the second quarter of 2009 (or 4% on a constant currency basis) due to the acquisition of theSplendid^â andElla Moss^âbrands, which contributed $16 million to revenues in the quarter. Conditions in U.S. upper tier department and specialty stores continue to be particularly challenging resulting in closure of a significant number of specialty stores. Also, our revenues were negatively impacted by higher than anticipated inventory reductions by our retailers.7 for All Mankind^â global brand revenues declined 12% in the quarter, with declines in our U.S. wholesale and off-price channel businesses partially offset by double-digit growth in our international and direct-to-consumer businesses. We continued to expand the brand’s reach with six retail store openings in the first half of 2009 and expansion in both Europe and Asia. Contemporary Brands Coalition Revenues for the first six months of 2009 declined 2% from the first half of 2008, but were flat on a constant currency basis.

Operating margins declined from 13.7% in the second quarter of 2008 to 4.5% in the current quarter and from 13.0% in the first half of 2008 to 8.0% for the first six months of 2009. The second quarter is the Contemporary Brands Coalition’s seasonally lowest revenue quarter, magnifying the impact of the volume decline in the wholesale business. In addition, increased retail investments negatively impacted the profitability of our direct-to-consumer business in both 2009 periods.

Other:

The Other business segment includes the VF Outlet business unit of VF-operated retail outlet stores in the United States that sell a broad selection of excess quantities of VF products and other branded products. Revenues and profits of VF products are reported as part of the operating results of the applicable coalitions, while revenues and profits of non-VF products are reported in this business segment.

Reconciliation of Coalition Profit to Income Before Income Taxes:

There are two types of costs necessary to reconcile total Coalition Profit, as discussed in the preceding paragraphs, to consolidated Income Before Income Taxes. These costs are (i) Corporate and Other Expenses, discussed below, and (ii) Interest, Net, which was discussed in the previous “Consolidated Statements of Income” section.

Corporate and Other Expenses consists of corporate headquarters’ costs that are not allocated to the coalitions and other expenses related to but not allocated to the coalitions for internal management reporting, including defined benefit pension plan cost other than service cost, development costs for management information systems, certain costs of maintaining and enforcing VF’s trademarks and miscellaneous consolidating adjustments.

The increase in Corporate and Other Expenses in 2009 results from higher defined benefit pension plan costs. Pension plans in the United States are centrally managed. Coalition profit in the business units includes only the current year service cost component of pension cost. Other components of pension cost totaling $20.8 million for the June 2009 quarter and $41.5 million for the first six months of 2009, primarily representing amortization of deferred actuarial losses, were recorded in Corporate and Other Expenses; such costs were not significant in prior years.

Analysis of Financial Condition

Balance Sheets

Accounts Receivable at June 2009 were 11% lower than the June 2008 balance due to a 14% decline in wholesale revenues in the second quarter of 2009 compared with the prior year period, partially offset by a slight increase in days’ sales outstanding. Accounts Receivable were higher at June 2009 than at the end of 2008 due to seasonal sales and collection patterns.

Inventories at June 2009 declined 9% compared with the June 2008 balance, reflecting our aggressive management of inventory levels during the economic downturn. Also, revenues for the remainder of 2009 are expected to be lower than the comparable period in 2008. Inventory levels at the end of June are typically higher than at the end of December due to higher seasonal requirements of our businesses.

Other Current Assets at June 2009 and December 2008 increased over June 2008 due to income tax prepayments.

Property, Plant and Equipment was lower at June 2009 than at June 2008 due to the impact of a stronger U.S. dollar and depreciation expense in excess of capital spending.

Total Intangible Assets and Goodwill at June 2009 increased over December 2008 and June 2008 due to the Mo Industries acquisition in March 2009, partially offset by the amortization of intangible assets and, for June 2008, the impact of a stronger U.S. dollar in translating balances of international businesses.

Other Assets decreased at June 2009 from June 2008 due to (i) the completion of the acquisition of Mo Industries in March 2009, resulting in elimination of the $80.5 million equity investment in one-third of its stock, (ii) the decline in value of investment securities held for VF’s deferred compensation plans and (iii) the elimination of a pension asset that represented the overfunded status of our qualified defined benefit pension plan at June 2008 (based on the December 2007 valuation). Other Assets decreased at June 2009 from December 2008 due to (i) the elimination of the $80.5 million investment in Mo Industries noted above and (ii) a reduction in net deferred income tax assets.

Short-term Borrowings at June 2009 consisted of $300.0 million of domestic commercial paper borrowings and $55.1 million of primarily international borrowings. Overall, the extent of short-term borrowings varies throughout the year in relation to working capital requirements and other investing and financing cash flows. See the “Liquidity and Cash Flows” section below for a discussion of these items. Due to seasonal working capital flows and financing requirements, there is typically more need for external borrowings at the end of the second quarter than at our fiscal year-end.

Accounts Payable at June 2009 decreased from June 2008 due primarily to the lower inventory levels discussed above. The Accounts Payable balance at December 2008 was higher than June 2009 due to the timing of inventory purchases and payments to vendors at the end of 2008.

Accrued Liabilities were lower at June 2009 than June 2008 due to lower accrued income taxes, driven by lower profitability in the 2009 quarter. Accrued Liabilities at June 2009 were lower than December 2008 due primarily to lower accruals for incentive compensation, which build over the fiscal year.

Other Liabilities increased at June 2009 over June 2008 due to the recognition of the underfunded status of our defined benefit pension plans at the end of 2008, partially offset by deferred income taxes and lower deferred compensation liabilities.

Liquidity and Cash Flows

The financial condition of VF is reflected in the following:


	June			December			June
(Dollars in millions)	2009			2008			2008
Working capital	$	1,565.1		$	1,640.8		$	1,503.7

Current ratio		2.3 to 1			2.6 to 1			2.1 to 1

Debt to total capital ratio	29.1		%		25.2	%		29.4	%

For the ratio of debt to total capital, debt is defined as short-term and long-term borrowings, and total capital is defined as debt plus stockholders’ equity. Our ratio of net debt to total capital, with net debt defined as debt less cash and equivalents, was 23.4% at June 2009.

On an annual basis, VF’s primary source of liquidity is its strong cash flow provided by operating activities. Cash provided by operating activities is primarily dependent on the level of net income and changes in investments in inventories and other working capital components. Our cash flow from operations is typically low in the first half of the year as we build working capital to service our operations in the second half of the year. Cash provided by operating activities is substantially higher in the fourth quarter of the year as we collect accounts receivable arising from our higher seasonal wholesale sales in the third quarter. In addition, cash flows from our direct-to-consumer businesses are significantly higher in the fourth quarter of the year.

For the six months through June 2009, cash provided by operating activities was $84.7 million, compared with $62.3 million in the comparable 2008 period. In general, the reduction of net income in the 2009 period was more than offset by improvements in working capital. Specifically, more aggressive management of inventory levels resulted in reduced spending on inventories in the 2009 period.

We rely on our continued strong cash flow from operations to finance our ongoing operations. In addition, VF has liquidity from its available cash balances and debt capacity, supported by its strong credit rating. At the end of June 2009, $688.2 million was available for borrowing under VF’s $1.0 billion senior unsecured committed domestic revolving bank credit facility. There was $300.0 million of commercial paper outstanding and $11.8 million of standby letters of credit issued under this agreement. We have not drawn down any funds on this facility. Also at the end of June 2009,€250 million (U.S. dollar equivalent of $350.3 million) was available for borrowing under VF’s senior unsecured committed international revolving bank credit facility.

The investing activities in the first six months of 2009 included the acquisition of the remaining two-thirds interest in Mo Industries. The other significant investing activity in the first six months of 2009 was capital spending, primarily related to retail initiatives. We expect that capital spending could reach $110 million for the full year of 2009, which will be funded by operating cash flows.

In October 2007, Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services affirmed its ‘A minus’ corporate credit rating, ‘A-2’ commercial paper rating and ‘stable’ outlook for VF. In August 2007, Moody’s Investors Service affirmed VF’s long-term debt rating of ‘A3’, commercial paper rating of ‘Prime-2’ and ‘stable’ outlook. Existing long-term debt agreements do not contain acceleration of maturity clauses based solely on changes in credit ratings. However, for the $600.0 million of senior notes issued in 2007, if there were a change in control of

VF and, as a result of the change in control, the notes were rated below investment grade by recognized rating agencies, then VF would be obligated to repurchase the notes at 101% of the aggregate principal amount of notes repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

VF did not purchase any shares of our Common Stock in the first six months of 2009. During the six months of 2008, VF purchased 2.0 million shares in open market transactions at a cost of $149.7 million (average price of $74.86 per share). The remaining authorization approved by the Board of Directors is 3.2 million shares as of the end of June 2009. We do not currently intend to repurchase any shares in 2009. We will continue to evaluate future share repurchases considering funding required for business acquisitions, our common stock price and levels of stock option exercises.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis in our 2008 Form 10-K provided a table summarizing VF’s contractual obligations and commercial commitments at the end of 2008 that would require the use of funds. Since the filing of our 2008 Form 10-K, there have been no material changes, except as noted below, relating to VF’s contractual obligations and commercial commitments that will require the use of funds:

•

Inventory purchase obligations representing binding commitments to purchase finished goods, raw materials and sewing labor in the ordinary course of business increased by approximately $130 million at the end of June 2009 due to the seasonality of our businesses.

•

Minimum royalty and other commitments decreased by approximately $40 million at the end of June 2009 due to payments made under the agreements.

Management believes that VF’s cash balances and funds provided by operating activities, as well as unused committed bank credit lines, additional borrowing capacity and access to equity markets, taken as a whole, provide (i) adequate liquidity to meet all of its current and long-term obligations when due, (ii) adequate liquidity to fund capital expenditures and to maintain our dividend payout policy and (iii) flexibility to meet investment opportunities that may arise.

VF does not participate in transactions with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships established to facilitate off-balance sheet arrangements or other limited purposes.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We have chosen accounting policies that we believe are appropriate to accurately and fairly report VF’s operating results and financial position in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States. We apply these accounting policies in a consistent manner. Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note A to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2008 Form 10-K.

The application of these accounting policies requires that we make estimates and assumptions about future events and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, contingent assets and liabilities, and related disclosures. These estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on historical experience, current trends and other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate these estimates and assumptions and may retain outside consultants to assist in our evaluation. If actual results ultimately differ from previous estimates, the revisions are included in results of operations in the period in which the actual amounts become known.

The accounting policies that involve the most significant estimates, assumptions and management judgments used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements, or are the most sensitive to change from outside factors, are discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis in our 2008 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in these policies, except for those mentioned in Note B to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

NonGAAP Financial Information

VF is a global company that reports financial information in U.S. dollars in accordance with GAAP. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations affect the amounts reported by VF from translating our foreign revenues and expenses into U.S. dollars. These rate fluctuations can have a significant effect on reported operating results. The translation effects of the changes in foreign currency exchange rates from the comparable period of the prior year are presented as reconciling items in the tables and discussion in the preceding “Analysis of Results of Operations” section.

As a supplement to our reported operating results, we provide constant currency financial information, which is a nonGAAP financial measure, in the “Analysis of Results of Operations” section. Constant currency information represents the current year reported operating results after adjustment to eliminate the translation effects of changes in exchange rates. To calculate coalition revenues and coalition profits on a constant currency basis, operating results for the current year period for entities reporting in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the comparable period of the prior year (rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the current year period).

We use the following constant currency information to provide a framework to assess how our businesses performed relative to prior periods excluding the effects of changes in foreign currency translation rates. We believe this information is useful to investors to facilitate comparisons of operating results and better identify trends in our businesses.

These constant currency performance measures should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of or superior to, our operating performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The constant currency information presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Statements

From time to time, we may make oral or written statements, including statements in this Quarterly Report that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These include statements concerning plans, objectives, projections and expectations relating to VF’s operations or economic performance, and assumptions related thereto. Forward-looking statements are made based on our expectations and beliefs concerning future events impacting VF and therefore involve a number of risks and uncertainties. We caution that forward-looking statements are not guarantees and actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements.

Potential risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results of operations or financial condition of VF to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report

on Form 10-Q include the overall level of consumer spending on apparel; disruption and volatility in the global capital and credit markets; general economic conditions and other factors affecting consumer confidence; VF’s reliance on a small number of large customers; the financial strength of VF’s customers; changing fashion trends and consumer demand; increasing pressure on margins; VF’s ability to implement its growth strategy; VF’s ability to grow its international and direct-to-consumer businesses; VF’s ability to successfully integrate and grow acquisitions; VF’s ability to maintain the strength and security of its information technology systems; stability of VF’s manufacturing facilities and foreign suppliers; continued use by VF’s suppliers of ethical business practices; VF’s ability to accurately forecast demand for products; continuity of members of VF’s management; VF’s ability to protect trademarks and other intellectual property rights; maintenance by VF’s licensees and distributors of the value of VF’s brands; fluctuations in the price, availability and quality of raw materials and contracted products; foreign currency fluctuations; and legal, regulatory, political and economic risks in international markets. More information on potential factors that could affect VF’s financial results is included from time to time in VF’s public reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including VF’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 3 —Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There have been no significant changes in VF’s market risk exposures from what was disclosed in Item 7A in our 2008 Form 10-K.

Disclosure controls and procedures:

Under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, a Disclosure Committee comprising various members of management has evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures at VF and its subsidiaries as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded as of the Evaluation Date that such controls and procedures were effective.

(1)		No shares of Common Stock were purchased under open market transactions during the quarter. We will continue to evaluate future share purchases considering funding required for business acquisitions, our Common Stock price and levels of stock option exercises. In addition, VF may purchase a small number of shares of Common Stock (8,900 purchased during the quarter) in connection with VF’s deferred savings plans. Also, in connection with Common Stock issuable in settlement of a participant’s performance-based restricted stock units under the Mid-Term Incentive Plan implemented under VF’s 1996 Stock Compensation Plan, VF must withhold the number of shares having an aggregate fair market value equal to any minimum statutory federal, state and local withholding or other tax that VF is required to withhold, unless the participant has made other arrangements to pay such amounts. There were no shares withheld under the Mid-Term Incentive Plan during the quarter.
