Note 2 — | Basis of Consolidation and Presentation |
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all information and disclosures necessary for a presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair statement of results for the periods presented. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted from this report, as is permitted by such rules and regulations; however, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report onForm 10-K for the annual period ended December 29, 2007 (“Fiscal 2007”). The year end condensed consolidated balance sheet data were derived from audited financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Periods Covered: The Company operates on a 52/53 week fiscal year basis ending on the Saturday closest to December 31. The period December 30, 2007 to January 3, 2009 (“Fiscal 2008”) will contain 53 weeks of operations while the period December 31, 2006 to December 29, 2007 (“Fiscal 2007”) contained 52 weeks of operations. Additionally, the period from July 6, 2008 to October 4, 2008 (the “Three Months Ended October 4, 2008”) and the period from July 1, 2007 to September 29, 2007 (the “Three Months Ended September 29, 2007”) each contained thirteen weeks of operations. The period from December 30, 2007 to October 4, 2008 (the “Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008”), and the period from December 31, 2006 to September 29, 2007 (the “Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007”), contained forty and thirty-nine weeks of operations, respectively.
Reclassifications: Prior period items on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations and Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows have been reclassified to give effect to the Company’s discontinued operations.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: During the Three and Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008, the Company entered into foreign currency exchange contracts which were designed to fix the number of Euros required to satisfy up to 50% of future dollar denominated purchases of inventory that certain of the Company’s European subsidiaries expect to make. Prior to January 2008, the Company’s policy was to enter into foreign currency exchange contracts designed to fix the first one-third of dollar denominated purchases of inventory by certain of the Company’s European subsidiaries. Some of the foreign currency exchange contracts entered into during the Three and Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008 were designated as cash flow hedges. SeeNotes 11 and 19.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements: The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157,Fair Value Measurements(“SFAS 157”) on December 30, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a market-based framework or hierarchy for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is applicable whenever another accounting pronouncement requires or permits assets and liabilities to be measured at fair value. SFAS 157 does not expand or require any new fair value measures, however the application of this statement may change current practice. In February 2008, the FASB decided that an entity need not apply this standard to nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. Accordingly, as of October 4, 2008, the Company’s adoption of this standard was limited to financial assets and liabilities, which primarily affects the valuation of its derivative contracts. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. The Company is still in the process of evaluating this standard with respect to its effect on nonfinancial assets and liabilities and therefore it has not yet determined the impact that it will have on its financial statements upon full adoption in the 2009 fiscal year.
On October 10, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff PositionNo. 157-3Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset in a Market That is Not Active(“FSP 157-3”).FSP 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS 157,Fair Value Measurements,in an inactive market and provides an illustrative example to demonstrate how the fair value of a financial asset is determined when the market for that financial asset is inactive. The Company does not expect the adoption ofFSP 157-3 to have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company adopted SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS 159”)on December 30, 2007. SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Entities that elect the fair value option will report unrealized gains and losses in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option may be elected on aninstrument-by-instrument basis, with few exceptions. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. The adoption of SFAS 159 did not have an effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations as it did not elect this fair value option, nor is it expected to have a material impact on future periods as the election of this option for the Company’s financial instruments is expected to be limited.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161,Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS 161”).The new standard requires additional

disclosures regarding a company’s derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. It also requires disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk — related as well as cross-referencing within the notes to the financial statements to enable financial statement users to locate important information about derivative instruments, financial performance, and cash flows. The standard is effective for the Company’s fiscal year and interim periods within such year, beginning January 4, 2009, with early application encouraged. The principal impact from this standard will be to require the Company to expand its disclosures regarding its derivative instruments.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP)No. FAS 142-3,Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets(“FSP 142-3”).FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets(“SFAS 142”). In particular, an entity will use its own assumptions based on its historical experience about renewal or extension of an arrangement even when there is likely to be substantial cost or material modification. In the absence of historical experience, an entity will use the assumptions that market participants would use (consistent with the highest and best use of the asset). The FSP is intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of an intangible asset determined under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under FASB Statement No. 141(revised 2007),Business Combinations,and other GAAP.FSP 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company does not expect the adoption ofFSP 142-3 to have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162,The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles(“SFAS 162”). SFAS 162 is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP for nongovernmental entities. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing amendments to AU Section 411,The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 162 to have a material effect on its financial statements.

Note 7 — | Income Taxes |
The following presents the domestic and foreign components of the Company’s provision for income taxes included in income from continuing operations:

The provision for income taxes was $13,451 or an effective tax rate of 31.2% for the Three Months Ended October 4, 2008, compared to $11,835 or an effective tax rate of 41.6% for the Three Months Ended September 29, 2007. The effective tax rate for the Three Months Ended October 4, 2008 reflects a shift in the mix of earnings between higher and lower taxing jurisdictions, partially offset by a benefit of approximately $2,000 related to the correction of errors in prior period income tax provisions primarily associated with the finalization of the Company’s tax return in the Netherlands for 2006. These errors were not material to any prior period. The effective tax rate for the Three Months Ended September 29, 2007 reflects nondeductible restructuring expenses in the United States.
The provision for income taxes was $65,216, or an effective tax rate of 50.6% for the Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008, compared to $30,652, or an effective tax rate of 31.6% for the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007. The higher effective tax rate for the Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008 compared to the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 primarily reflects: (i) a charge of approximately $15,500 related to the repatriation, in the form of a dividend, to the U.S., of the proceeds received in connection with theLejabysale, net of adjustments for working capital (seeNote 4); (ii) certain nondeductible restructuring expenses associated with the transfer of the Collection License Company to PVH, which provided no tax benefits to the Company and (iii) a shift in the mix of earnings between higher and lower taxing jurisdictions.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. The Company provides a valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. Valuation allowances are determined on ajurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. The Company does not have a valuation allowance against its U.S. federal deferred tax assets but has established a valuation allowance against certain of its U.S. state and foreign deferred tax assets of approximately $6,000 and $6,500, respectively, as of October 4, 2008. In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007),Business Combinations(“SFAS 141(R)”), which replaces SFAS No. 141,Business Combinationsand is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. SFAS 141(R) amends SFAS No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxesby requiring that adjustments to tax contingencies and valuation allowances provided on deferred taxes related to acquisitions which were completed prior to the effective date of SFAS 141(R) will generally impact income tax expense rather than goodwill. Accordingly, through the end of the Company’s fiscal year ending on January 3, 2009, of the $6,000 and $6,500 of valuation allowances, approximately $3,000 and $2,500, respectively, will be recorded as an income statement benefit upon the realization of the deferred tax assets to which the valuation allowance applies. The remainder of the valuation allowance will be applied to reduce goodwill or intangible assets until exhausted and thereafter will be reported as a direct addition to paid-in capital or benefit to net income. Beginning on January 4, 2009, the provisions of SFAS 141(R) will apply.
The Company is required to file tax returns in multiple domestic and foreign jurisdictions and these tax returns are subject to audit by taxing authorities. Taxing authorities may challenge the Company’s interpretation of tax law and additional tax may be assessed. The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or foreign income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 1999. The IRS has not commenced examinations of the Company’s U.S. income tax returns for the 1999 through 2007 tax years. The Company has been examined in various state and local and foreign jurisdictions in the last several years and has a variety of open tax years remaining in those jurisdictions. Management does not believe the outcome of any examinations will be material to the Company’s financial statements.
The Company applies the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109(“FIN 48”) to determine whether tax benefits associated with uncertain tax positions may be recognized in the financial statements. During the Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008 the Company reduced its liability for uncertain tax positions by approximately $5,100 reflecting a decrease of approximately $3,200 related to uncertain tax positions in existence on the date of acquisition of the CKJEA business, a decrease of approximately $2,000 related to the conclusion of audit examinations in certain of the Company’s foreign jurisdictions, and a decrease of approximately $4,200 resulting from the completion of certain filing obligations of the Company. Those decreases were partially offset by increases to the liability of approximately $4,300 associated with various uncertain tax positions.
It is the Company’s belief that it is reasonably possible that an adjustment to the FIN 48 liability could occur within the next 12 months related to certain of the Company’s uncertain tax positions. Any additional impact on the Company’s income tax liability resulting from those positions cannot presently be determined. The Company believes that its accruals for uncertain tax positions are adequate and that the ultimate resolution of these uncertainties will not have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position, or statement of cash flows.
The Company recognizes penalties and interest related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense and had accrued interest and penalties as of October 4, 2008 of approximately $2,500.

Note 8 — | Employee Benefit and Retirement Plans |
Defined Benefit Pension Plans
The Company has a defined benefit pension plan covering certain full-time non-union domestic employees and certain domestic employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement (the “U.S. Plan”). The Company also sponsors defined benefit plans for certain of its foreign employees (“Foreign Plans”). The Company follows SFAS No. 87,Employers’ Accounting for Pensions(“SFAS 87”) and SFAS No. 158,Employer’s Accounting for Pensions, in regard to accounting for its Pension Plans. Pursuant to SFAS 87, each quarter the Company recognizes interest cost offset by the expected return on Pension Plan assets. The Company records the effect of actual gains and losses exceeding the expected return on Pension Plan assets (including changes in actuarial assumptions) in the fourth quarter of each year. This accounting results in volatility in pension expense or income; therefore, the Company reports pension expense/income on a separate line of its statement of operations in each period.
The fair value of the Pension Plan’s assets fluctuates with market conditions and is subject to uncertainties that are difficult to predict. During the Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008, the actual rate of return on the Pension Plan’s assets has been a loss of approximately 13%. However, based upon historical results, the Company has been using an assumed rate of return of 8% per year on Pension Plan assets to estimate pension income/expense on an interim basis.
The fair value of the Pension Plan’s assets was approximately $120,000 at October 4, 2008, compared to approximately $138,147 at December 30, 2007. The fair value of the Pension Plan’s assets reflects a $24,000 decline from their assumed value of approximately $144,000, net of benefits paid, at October 4, 2008. The Company will record any decrease in the fair value of the Pension Plan’s assets as a reduction in Pension Plan income (increase in pension expense) in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. Assuming that the fair value of the investment portfolio does not recover from its value at October 4, 2008, in light of the actual 13% decline in the fair value of the Company’s pension plan investment portfolio to $120,000 at October 4, 2008, the Company could recognize $20,000 to $30,000 of pension expense for the year ending January 3, 2009. The Company’s pension income/expense is also affected by the discount rate used to calculate Pension Plan liabilities, Pension Plan amendments, Pension Plan benefit experience compared to assumed experience and other factors. These factors could increase or decrease the amount of pension income/expense ultimately recorded by the Company for fiscal 2008.
The following table includes the Company’s U.S. Plan. The Foreign Plans were not considered to be material for any period presented. The components of net periodic benefit cost are as follows:

The Company’s liability for employee contributions and investment activity was $1,647, $1,379 and $1,324 as of October 4, 2008, December 29, 2007 and September 29, 2007, respectively. This liability is included in other long-term liabilities.

Note 10 — | Fair Value Measurement |
As discussed in Note 2, the Company adopted SFAS 157 on December 30, 2007, which among other things, requires enhanced disclosures about assets and liabilities measured at fair value. The Company’s adoption of SFAS 157 was limited to financial assets and liabilities, which primarily relate to derivative contracts and deferred compensation plans.
The Company utilizes the market approach to measure fair value for financial assets and liabilities. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
SFAS 157 includes a fair value hierarchy that is intended to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures. The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s pricing based upon their own market assumptions. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels:
Level 1 — | Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | |
Level 2 — | Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and market-corroborated inputs which are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. | |
Level 3 — | Inputs are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable. |
Valuation Techniques
The fair value of interest rate swaps was estimated based on the amount that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the swaps on the valuation date. Those amounts are based on receipt of interest at a fixed interest rate of 87/8% and a payment of a variable rate based on a fixed interest rate above the six month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). As such, the fair value of the interest rate swaps is classified as level 2, as defined above.
The fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts was determined as the net unrealized gains or losses on those contracts, which is the net difference between (i) the U.S. dollars to be received or paid at the contracts’

settlement date and (ii) the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency to be sold or purchased at the current forward exchange rate. The fair value of these foreign currency exchange contracts meets the definition of level 2 fair value, as defined above.
The following table represents the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of October 4, 2008, as required by SFAS 157:

During the Three Months Ended October 4, 2008, the Company’sCalvin Klein (“CK”) Jeans Europe (“CKJE”) subsidiary entered into foreign currency exchange forward contracts, which were designated as cash flow hedges for financial reporting purposes in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities(“SFAS 133”), as amended by SFAS No. 138,Accounting for Certain Derivatives and Certain Hedging Activities(“SFAS 138”). These foreign currency exchange forward contracts, which were outstanding at October 4, 2008, require the purchase of approximately $9,400 for a total of approximately €6,656 at a weighted average exchange rate of $1.41 to €1.00 and mature through August 2009. CKJE’s foreign currency exchange forward contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges are designed to offset the risk of changes in the functional currency cash flows attributable to changes in the related foreign currency exchange rate by fixing the number of Euros required to satisfy up to 50% of purchases of inventory by CKJE in a given month for a period up to eighteen months in the future. Such purchase commitments are denominated in United States dollars; the functional currency of CKJE is the Euro. During the Three Months Ended October 4, 2008, the amount of gains/losses related to these cash flow hedges that was recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) and the amount of AOCI that was reclassified to earnings were immaterial.
In addition, as of October 4, 2008, the Company was party to other outstanding foreign currency exchange contracts to purchase approximately $27,280 for a total of approximately €17,726 at a weighted average exchange rate of $1.54 to €1.00. The foreign currency exchange contracts mature through November 2009 and are designed to fix the number of euros required to satisfy 50% of dollar denominated purchases of inventory by certain of the Company’s European subsidiaries. These foreign currency exchange contracts were not designated as cash flow hedges for financial reporting purposes and the Company recorded a gain of approximately $3,113 for the Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008 in the Other loss (income) line item in the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations.

The Company reviews its intangible assets and goodwill for impairment in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year or sooner if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any of those assets may not be recoverable. Such events may include (a) a significant adverse change in legal factors or the business climate; (b) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator; (c) unanticipated competition; (d) a loss of key personnel; (e) a more-likely-than-not expectation that a reporting unit, or a significant part of a reporting unit, will be sold or disposed of; (f) the determination of a lack of recoverability of a significant “asset group” within a reporting unit; (g) reporting a goodwill impairment loss by a subsidiary that is a component of a reporting unit; and (h) a significant decrease in the Company’s stock price.
During the Three Months and Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008, the Company considered the potential of an impairment in its goodwill or intangible assets, consisting of licenses and trademarks primarily for itsCalvin Kleinproducts, by reviewing these factors. The Company concluded that no triggering events had occurred that would require an interim impairment test. The Company noted that cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations during the Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008 had increased by 15% compared to the same period in Fiscal 2007. The magnitude of such increases may be impacted by the current weakness in the credit markets, which has potentially reduced the ability of its customers to obtain credit, and thereby their ability in the future to purchase the Company’s merchandise at the same or higher levels as in the past. The Company also noted that although its stock price has declined significantly during the Three Months Ended October 4, 2008, the market capitalization of the Company remained significantly above the value of its net assets.

In connection with the purchase, the Company recognized a loss of approximately $3,160, which included the write-off of approximately $1,085 of deferred financing costs. The loss on the repurchase is included in the other loss (income) line item in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements
As a result of the interest rate swap agreements entered into on September 18, 2003 (the “2003 Swap Agreement”) and November 5, 2004 (the “2004 Swap Agreement”), the weighted average effective interest rate of the Senior Notes was 8.15% as of October 4, 2008, 8.93% as of December 29, 2007 and 9.14% as of September 29, 2007.

The fair value of the Company’s outstanding interest rate swap agreements reflect the termination premium (unrealized loss) or termination discount (unrealized gain) that the Company would realize if such swaps were terminated on the valuation date. Since the provisions of the Company’s 2003 Swap Agreement and 2004 Swap Agreement match the provisions of the Company’s outstanding Senior Notes (the “Hedged Debt”), changes in the fair value of the outstanding swaps do not have any effect on the Company’s results of operations but are recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized gains on the outstanding interest rate swap agreements are included in other assets with a corresponding increase in the Hedged Debt. Unrealized losses on the outstanding interest rate swap agreements are included as a component of long-term debt with a corresponding decrease in the Hedged Debt. The table below summarizes the unrealized gain (loss) of the Company’s outstanding swap agreements:

New Credit Agreements
On August 26, 2008, Warnaco, as borrower, and Warnaco Group, as guarantor, entered into a revolving credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) and Warnaco of Canada Company (“Warnaco Canada”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Warnaco Group, as borrower, and Warnaco Group, as guarantor, entered into a second revolving credit agreement (the “New Canadian Credit Agreement” and, together with the New Credit Agreement, the “New Credit Agreements”), in each case with the financial institutions which, from time to time, will act as lenders and issuers of letters of credit (the “Lenders and Issuers”).
The New Credit Agreements replaced the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (see below), including the Term B Note, and were used to refinance the Term B Note. In addition, the New Credit Agreements will be used to issue standby and commercial letters of credit, to finance ongoing working capital and capital expenditure needs and for other general corporate purposes.
The New Credit Agreement provides for a five-year asset-based revolving credit facility under which up to $270,000 initially will be available. In addition, during the term of the New Credit Agreement, Warnaco may make up to three requests for additional credit commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $200,000. The New Canadian Credit Agreement provides for a five-year asset-based revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount up to U.S. $30,000. The New Credit Agreements mature on August 26, 2013.
The New Credit Agreement has interest rate options that are based on (i) a Base Rate (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) plus 0.75% (5.75% at October 4, 2008) or (ii) a Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) plus 1.75% (6.08% at October 4, 2008) , in each case, on aper annumbasis. The interest rate payable on outstanding borrowing is subject to adjustments based on changes in the Company’s leverage ratio. The New Canadian Credit Agreement has interest rate options that are based on (i) the prime rate announced by Bank of America (acting through its Canada branch) plus 0.75% (5.50% at October 4, 2008), or (ii) a BA Rate (as defined in the New Canadian Credit Agreement) plus 1.75% (5.95% at October 4, 2008), in each case, on aper annumbasis and subject to adjustments based on changes in the Company’s leverage ratio. The BA Rate is defined as the annual rate of interest quoted by Bank of America (acting through its Canada branch) as its rate of interest for bankers’ acceptances in Canadian dollars for a face amount similar to the amount of the loan and for a term similar to the applicable interest period.

The New Credit Agreements contain covenants limiting the Company’s ability to (i) incur additional indebtedness and liens, (ii) make significant corporate changes including mergers and acquisitions with third parties, (iii) make investments, (iv) make loans, advances and guarantees to or for the benefit of third parties, (v) enter into hedge agreements, (vi) make restricted payments (including dividends and stock repurchases), and (vii) enter into transactions with affiliates. The New Credit Agreements also include certain other restrictive covenants.
The covenants under the New Credit Agreements contain negotiated exceptions and carve-outs, including the ability to repay indebtedness, make restricted payments and make investments so long as after giving pro forma effect to such actions the Company has a minimum level of Available Credit (as defined in the New Credit Agreements), the Company’s Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the New Credit Agreements) for the last four quarters was at least 1.1 to 1 and certain other requirements are met. In addition, if Available Credit is less than a Trigger Amount (as defined in the New Credit Agreements) the Company’s Fixed Charge Coverage ratio (as defined in the New Credit Agreements) must be at least 1.1 to 1.0.
The New Credit Agreements contain events of default, such as payment defaults, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency, the occurrence of a defined change of control, or the failure to observe the negative covenants and other covenants related to the operation and conduct of the Company’s business. Upon an event of default, the Lenders and Issuers will not be obligated to make loans or other extensions of credit and may, among other things, terminate their commitments and declare any then outstanding loans due and payable immediately. As of October 4, 2008 and November 6, 2008, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants contained in the New Credit Agreements.
The obligations of Warnaco under the New Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Warnaco Group and its indirect domestic subsidiaries (other than Warnaco) (collectively, the “U.S. Guarantors”). The obligations of Warnaco Canada under the New Canadian Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Warnaco Group, Warnaco and the U.S. Guarantors, as well as by a Canadian subsidiary of Warnaco Canada. As security for the obligations under the New Credit Agreements and the guarantees thereof, the Warnaco Group, Warnaco and each of the U.S. Guarantors has granted pursuant to a Pledge and Security Agreement to the collateral agent, for the benefit of the lenders and issuing banks, a first priority lien on substantially all of their tangible and intangible assets, including, without limitation, pledges of their equity ownership in domestic subsidiaries and up to 66% of their equity ownership in first-tier foreign subsidiaries, as well as liens on intellectual property rights. As security for the obligations under the New Canadian Credit Agreement and the guarantee thereof by Warnaco Canada’s sole subsidiary, Warnaco Canada and its subsidiary have each granted pursuant to General Security Agreements, a Securities Pledge Agreement and Deeds of Hypothec to the collateral agent, for the benefit of the lenders and issuing banks under the New Canadian Credit Agreement, a first priority lien on substantially all of their tangible and intangible assets, including, without limitation, pledges of their equity ownership subsidiaries, as well as liens on intellectual property rights.
On August 26, 2008, the Company used $90,000 of the proceeds from the New Credit Agreements and $16,000 of its existing cash and cash equivalents to repay $106,000 in loans outstanding under the Term B Note of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement in full. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was terminated along with all related guarantees, mortgages, liens and security interests. In September 2008, the Company used its cash and cash equivalents to repay borrowings of $59,800 under the New Credit Agreement. As of October 4, 2008, the Company had approximately $30,200 in loans and approximately $60,900 in letters of credit outstanding under the New Credit Agreement, leaving approximately $118,500 of availability under the New Credit Agreement. As of October 4, 2008, there were no loans or letters of credit outstanding under the New Canadian Credit Agreement and available credit was approximately $26,000.

Note 17 — | Legal Matters |
SEC Inquiry: As disclosed in its Annual Report onForm 10-K for Fiscal 2007, the Company announced, on August 8, 2006, that it would restate its previously reported financial statements for the fourth quarter of 2005, fiscal 2005 and the first quarter of 2006. The restatements were required as a result of certain irregularities discovered by the Company during the Company’s 2006 second quarter closing review and certain other errors. The irregularities primarily related to the accounting for certain returns and customer allowances at the Company’sChapsmenswear division. These matters were reported to the Company’s Audit Committee, which engaged outside counsel, who in turn retained independent forensic accountants, to investigate and report to the Audit Committee. Based on information obtained in that investigation, and also to correct for an error which resulted from the implementation of the Company’s new systems infrastructure at its Swimwear Group during the first quarter of 2006, and certain immaterial errors, the Audit Committee accepted management’s recommendation that the Company restate its financial statements.
In connection with the restatements, the Company contacted the SEC staff to inform them of the restatements and the Company’s related investigation. Thereafter, the SEC staff initiated an informal inquiry, and on February 22, 2008, informed the Company that in September 2007 the SEC had issued a formal order of investigation, with respect to these matters. The Company is cooperating fully with the SEC.
OP Litigation and Other: On August 19, 2004, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Ocean Pacific Apparel Corp. (“OP”). The terms of the acquisition agreement required the Company to

make certain contingent payments to the sellers (the “Sellers”) under certain circumstances. On November 6, 2006, the Company sold the OP business. The Sellers of OP have filed an action against the Company alleging that certain contingent purchase price payments are due to them as a result of the Company’s sale of the OP business in November 2006. The Company believes that the Sellers’ lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously. In addition, from time to time, the Company is involved in arbitrations or legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. The Company cannot predict the timing or outcome of these claims and proceedings. The Company believes that it is adequately reserved for any potential settlements.

As of October 4, 2008, the Company was also party to outstanding foreign currency exchange contracts to purchase approximately $12,332 for a total of approximately €8,717 at a weighted average exchange rate of $1.41 to €1.00. These foreign currency exchange contracts mature through September 2009 and are designed to fix the number of euros required to satisfy certain dollar denominated minimum royalty and advertising expenses incurred by certain of the Company’s European subsidiaries. These foreign currency exchange contracts were designated as cash flow hedges for financial reporting purposes and the Company recorded a loss of approximately $33 for the Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008 in the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, the Company entered into foreign currency exchange contracts related to the purchase of inventory (see Note 11 of Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements).
As of October 4, 2008, it is the Company’s belief that it is reasonably possible that an adjustment to the FIN 48 liability could occur within the next 12 months related to certain of the Company’s uncertain tax positions. The Company believes that the ultimate resolution of these uncertainties will not have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position, or statement of cash flows.

As of October 4, 2008, there were also 567Calvin Kleinretail stores operated by third parties under retail licenses or distributor agreements.
Highlights for the Three and Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008 included:
• | Net revenues increased $75.5 million, or 16.0%, to $548.7 million for the Three Months Ended October 4, 2008 and increased $265.8 million, or 19.6%, to $1.6 billion for the Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008, led primarily by the Company’sCalvin Kleinbusinesses. Operating income increased $11.1 million, or 30.2%, to $47.9 million for the Three Months Ended October 4, 2008 and increased $36.4 million, or 31.3%, to $152.7 million for the Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008. Operating income for the Three Months and Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008 includes restructuring charges of $4.4 million and $30.7 million, respectively.

Both net revenues and operating income for the Three and Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008 were impacted by foreign currency translation (see below). In addition, the Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008 benefited from an extra week of operating activity as the Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008 contained |

Table of Contents
forty weeks of operations while the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 contained thirty-nine weeks of operations. Net revenues related to the extra week of operations were approximately $23.0 million. |
• | On August 26, 2008, Warnaco and Warnaco of Canada Company, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Warnaco Group, each entered into separate revolving credit agreements (the “New Credit Agreements”). The New Credit Agreements provide for revolving credit facilities under which up to a total of $300.0 million will be available initially and up to an additional $200.0 million may be requested. The New Credit Agreements mature on August 26, 2013. The obligations under the New Credit Agreements are guaranteed by Warnaco Group and certain of its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries. The guarantees are secured by first priority liens, for the benefit of the financial lending institutions and issuers of letters of credit, on substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Warnaco Group and certain of its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries. The Company used $90.0 million of the proceeds from the New Credit Agreements and $16.0 million of its cash and cash equivalents to repay in full the $106.0 million in loans outstanding under the Term B Note of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (seeCapital Resources and Liquidity,below). The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the Foreign Revolving Credit Facility (seeCapital Resources and Liquidity,below) were terminated along with all related guarantees, mortgages, liens and security interests. In connection with the termination of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, during the Three Months Ended October 4, 2008, the Company wrote off $2.1 million of deferred financing costs, which had been recorded as Other Assets on the balance sheet. The Company recorded $4.2 million of deferred financing costs in connection with the New Credit Agreements, which will be amortized using the straight-line method through August 25, 2013. | |
• | During the Three and Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008, the U.S. dollar strengthened relative to the functional currencies of countries where the Company conducts certain of its operations overseas (primarily the Korean won, the Euro and the Canadian dollar) and continued to strengthen through October 30, 2008. Nevertheless, the U.S. dollar remained weaker relative to those currencies as compared to the same periods in 2007. Therefore, translating foreign currencies into the U.S. dollar resulted in $7.7 million and $52.3 million increases in net revenues and $2.3 million and $7.8 million increases in operating income for the Three and Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008, respectively (seeItem 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk — Foreign Exchange Risk,below). | |
• | In addition, as a result of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the Korean Won, Euro and Canadian dollar, the Company recorded losses of $14.3 million and $17.4 million, respectively, in the selling, general and administrative cost line in its Statements of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008 related to foreign currency exchange losses associated with U.S. dollar denominated trade liabilities in certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. During the Three Months Ended October 4, 2008, the Company recorded a $3.2 million gain (recorded in Other Income) associated with the hedging of certain U.S. dollar denominated inventory purchases by certain European subsidiaries. | |
• | Income from continuing operations for the Three Months Ended October 4, 2008 was $0.62 per diluted share, a 72.2% increase compared to the $0.36 per diluted share for the Three Months Ended September 29, 2007. Income from continuing operations for the Three Months Ended September 29, 2007 includes restructuring charges of $14.1 million. Income from continuing operations for the Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008 was $1.34 per diluted share, a 6.3% decrease compared to the $1.43 per diluted share for the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007. Included in income from continuing operations for the Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008 is a tax charge of approximately $15.5 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, related to the repatriation, to the U.S., of the proceeds received in connection with the sale of the Company’sLejabybusiness, net of adjustments for working capital, as well as restructuring charges of $28.0 million (net of income tax benefits of $2.7 million), or $0.60 per diluted share. Income from continuing operations for the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 includes restructuring charges of $18.2 million. | |
• | On January 30, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with PVH whereby, for total payments of approximately $42 million (net of expected adjustments for working capital), the Company transferred 100% of the shares of the company (the “Collection License Company”) that operates the license (the “Collection License”) forCalvin Kleinmen’s and women’s Collection apparel and accessories worldwide to |

PVH and acquired new, and amended certain existing,Calvin Kleinlicenses. The new licenses acquired and amendments to existing licenses will allow the Company to further extend itsCalvin Kleindirect-to-consumer business in Europe, Asia and South America. The additional rights granted to the Company extend through 2046. During the Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008, the Company recorded intangible assets of $24.7 million related to the new licenses acquired and recorded a restructuring charge (included in selling, general and administrative expenses) of $18.5 million related to the transfer of the Collection License Company to PVH. SeeNote 3 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. |
• | On February 14, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with Palmers Textil AG (”Palmers”) whereby, effective March 10, 2008, Palmers acquired theLejaby business for a base purchase price of €32.5 million (approximately $47.4 million) payable in cash and €12.5 million (nominal value) (approximately $18.2 million) evidenced by an interest free promissory note (payable on December 31, 2013), subject to certain adjustments, including adjustments for working capital. In addition, the Company entered into a transition services agreement with Palmers whereby for a period of nine months following the closing (subject to mutually agreed upon extension periods), the Company agreed to provide certain transitional services to Palmers. During March 2008, the Company recorded a gain of $11.1 million (as part of income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes) related to the sale ofLejaby. In addition, during the Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008, the Company repatriated, in the form of a dividend, to the U.S., the proceeds received in connection with theLejabysale, net of adjustments for working capital. The repatriation of the net proceeds from theLejabysale resulted in an income tax charge of approximately $15.5 million which was recorded as part of “Provision for income taxes” in the Company’s consolidated condensed statement of operations. | |
• | During the Three Months Ended April 5, 2008, using the proceeds from the sale of theLejabybusiness, the Company repurchased $44.1 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Senior Notes (defined below) for total consideration of $46.2 million. In connection with the purchase, the Company recognized a loss of approximately $3.2 million, which included the write-off of approximately $1.1 million of deferred financing costs. | |
• | During the Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008, in an effort to increase efficiencies related to financial reporting, the Company initiated a plan to upgrade and standardize certain of its financial reporting information systems on a global basis. The Company expects to complete the system upgrades during the first half of 2009. |
Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to use judgment in making certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses in its consolidated condensed financial statements and accompanying notes. See the Company’s Annual Report onForm 10-K for Fiscal 2007 for a discussion of the Company’s critical accounting policies.
Among those estimates and assumptions, the Company reviews its intangible assets and goodwill for impairment in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year or sooner if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any of those assets may not be recoverable. Such events may include (a) a significant adverse change in legal factors or the business climate; (b) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator; (c) unanticipated competition; (d) a loss of key personnel; (e) a more-likely-than-not expectation that a reporting unit, or a significant part of a reporting unit, will be sold or disposed of; (f) the determination of a lack of recoverability of a significant “asset group” within a reporting unit; (g) reporting a goodwill impairment loss by a subsidiary that is a component of a reporting unit; and (h) a significant decrease in the Company’s stock price.
During the Three Months and Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008, the Company considered the potential of an impairment in its goodwill or intangible assets, consisting of licenses and trademarks primarily for itsCalvin Kleinproducts, by reviewing these factors. The Company concluded that no triggering events had occurred that would require an interim impairment test. The Company noted that cash provided by operating activities from
41
Table of Contents
continuing operations during the Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008, had increased by 15% compared to the same period in Fiscal 2007. The magnitude of such increases may be impacted by the current weakness in the credit markets, which has potentially reduced the ability of its customers to obtain credit, and thereby their ability in the future to purchase the Company’s merchandise at the same or higher levels as in the past. The Company also noted that although its stock price had declined significantly during the Three Months Ended October 4, 2008, the Company’s market capitalization remained significantly above the estimated fair value of its net assets.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements: The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157,Fair Value Measurements(“SFAS 157”) on December 30, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a market-based framework or hierarchy for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is applicable whenever another accounting pronouncement requires or permits assets and liabilities to be measured at fair value. SFAS 157 does not expand or require any new fair value measures, however the application of this statement may change current practice. In February 2008, the FASB decided that an entity need not apply this standard to nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. Accordingly, as of October 4, 2008, the Company’s adoption of this standard was limited to financial assets and liabilities, which primarily affects the valuation of its derivative contracts. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. The Company is still in the process of evaluating this standard with respect to its effect on nonfinancial assets and liabilities and therefore it has not yet determined the impact that it will have on its financial statements upon full adoption in the 2009 fiscal year.
On October 10, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff PositionNo. 157-3Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset in a Market That is Not Active(“FSP 157-3”).FSP 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS 157,Fair Value Measurements,in an inactive market and provides an illustrative example to demonstrate how the fair value of a financial asset is determined when the market for that financial asset is inactive. The Company does not expect the adoption ofFSP 157-3 to have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company adopted SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115(“SFAS 159”) on December 30, 2007. SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Entities that elect the fair value option will report unrealized gains and losses in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option may be elected on aninstrument-by-instrument basis, with few exceptions. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. The adoption of SFAS 159 did not have an effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations as it did not elect this fair value option, nor is it expected to have a material impact on future periods as the election of this option for the Company’s financial instruments is expected to be limited.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161,Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133(“SFAS 161”). The new standard requires additional disclosures regarding a company’s derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. It also requires disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk — related as well as cross-referencing within the notes to the financial statements to enable financial statement users to locate important information about derivative instruments, financial performance, and cash flows. The standard is effective for the Company’s fiscal year and interim periods within such year, beginning January 4, 2009, with early application encouraged. The principal impact from this standard will be to require the Company to expand its disclosures regarding its derivative instruments.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP)No. FAS 142-3,Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets(“FSP 142-3”).FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). In particular, an entity will use its own assumptions based on its historical experience about renewal or extension of an arrangement even when there is likely to be substantial cost or material modification. In the absence of historical experience, an entity will use the assumptions that market participants would use (consistent with the highest and best use of the asset). The FSP is intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of an intangible asset determined under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure
42
Table of Contents
the fair value of the asset under FASB Statement No. 141(revised 2007),Business Combinations,and other GAAP.FSP 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company does not expect that the adoption ofFSP 142-3 will have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“SFAS 162”). SFAS 162 is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP for nongovernmental entities. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 162 to have a material effect on its financial statements.

The increase in administrative expenses primarily relates to an increase of $20.5 million associated with the foreign currency exchange losses associated with U.S. dollar denominated trade liabilities in certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries (due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the Korean Won, Euro and Canadian dollar), as well as increased expenses related to the expansion of operations in Europe and Asia.

Three Months Ended October 4, 2008 compared to Three Months Ended September 29, 2007
Interest expense decreased $2.3 million to $6.9 million for the Three Months Ended October 4, 2008 from $9.2 million for the Three Months Ended September 29, 2007. The decrease primarily relates to a decline in interest associated with the Term B Note (which was repaid from the proceeds of the borrowing under the New Credit Agreement in August 2008), the Senior Notes in the U.S., which were partially repaid, and the decrease in the outstanding amount of the CKJEA short term notes payable, partially offset by an increase in foreign bank and credit line fees.
Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008 compared to Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007
Interest expense decreased $4.7 million to $23.3 million for the Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008 from $28.0 million for the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007. The decrease primarily relates to a decline in interest

associated with the Term B Note (which was repaid from the proceeds of the borrowing under the New Credit Agreement in August 2008) and the Senior Notes in the U.S., which were partially repaid.
Interest Income
Three Months Ended October 4, 2008 compared to Three Months Ended September 29, 2007
Interest income decreased $0.3 million to $0.9 million for the Three Months Ended October 4, 2008 from $1.2 million for the Three Months Ended September 29, 2007. The decrease in interest income was due primarily to a decrease in interest earned on outstanding cash balances.
Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008 compared to Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007
Interest income increased $0.2 million to $2.5 million for the Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008 from $2.3 million for the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007, reflecting changes in interest rates and the amount of outstanding cash balances during both periods.
Income Taxes
Three Months Ended October 4, 2008 compared to Three Months Ended September 29, 2007
The provision for income taxes was $13,451 or an effective tax rate of 31.2% for the Three Months Ended October 4, 2008, compared to $11,835 or an effective tax rate of 41.6% for the Three Months Ended September 29, 2007. The effective tax rate for the Three Months Ended October 4, 2008 reflects a shift in the mix of earnings between higher and lower taxing jurisdictions, partially offset by a benefit of approximately $2,000 related to the correction of errors in prior period income tax provisions primarily associated with the finalization of the Company’s tax return in the Netherlands for 2006. The effective tax rate for the Three Months Ended September 29, 2007 reflects nondeductible restructuring expenses in the United States. SeeNote 7ofNotes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008 compared to Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007.
The provision for income taxes was $65,216, or an effective tax rate of 50.6% for the Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008, compared to $30,652, or an effective tax rate of 31.6% for the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007. The higher effective tax rate for the Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008 compared to the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 primarily reflects; (i) a charge of approximately $15,500 related to the repatriation, in the form of a dividend, to the U.S., of the net proceeds received in connection with theLejabysale (seeNote 4); (ii) certain nondeductible restructuring expenses associated with the transfer of the Collection License Company to PVH, which provided no tax benefits to the Company and (iii) a shift in the mix of earnings between higher and lower taxing jurisdictions. SeeNote 7ofNotes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
Discontinued Operations
Three Months Ended October 4, 2008 compared to Three Months Ended September 29, 2007
Loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes, was $2.8 million for the Three Months Ended October 4, 2008 compared to a loss of $12.2 million for the Three Months Ended September 29, 2007. SeeNote 4ofNotes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008 compared to Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007

Senior Notes
On June 12, 2003, Warnaco Inc., the principal operating subsidiary of Warnaco Group, completed the sale of $210.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes at par value, which notes mature on June 15, 2013 and bear interest at 87/8% payable semi-annually on December 15 and June 15 of each year. No principal payments prior to the maturity date are required. The Senior Notes are unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by Warnaco Group and substantially all of Warnaco Inc.’s domestic subsidiaries (all of which are 100% owned, either directly or indirectly, by Warnaco Inc.). In June 2006, the Company purchased $5.0 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding $210.0 million Senior Notes for total consideration of $5.2 million in the open market. During March, 2008, the Company purchased $44.1 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Senior Notes for a total consideration of $46.2 million in the open market.
The aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Senior Notes was $160.9 million as of October 4, 2008 and $205.0 million as of December 29, 2007 and September 29, 2007.
The indenture pursuant to which the Senior Notes were issued contains covenants which, among other things, restrict the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, pay dividends and make restricted payments, create or permit certain liens, use the proceeds of sales of assets and subsidiaries’ stock, create or permit restrictions on the ability of certain of Warnaco Inc.’s subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to Warnaco Group or to Warnaco Inc., enter into transactions with affiliates, engage in certain business activities, engage in sale and leaseback transactions and consolidate or merge or sell all or substantially all of its assets. The Company is not aware of any non-compliance with the financial covenants of the Senior Notes as of October 4, 2008, December 29, 2007 and September 29, 2007.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements
On September 18, 2003, the Company entered into an Interest Rate Swap Agreement (the “2003 Swap Agreement”) with respect to the Senior Notes for a total notional amount of $50 million. The 2003 Swap Agreement provides that the Company will receive interest at 87/8 and pay a variable rate of interest based upon six month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 4.11% (7.24% at October 4, 2008). The 2003 Swap Agreement expires on June 15, 2013 (the date on which the Senior Notes mature).
On November 5, 2004, the Company entered into a second Interest Rate Swap Agreement (the “2004 Swap Agreement”) with respect to the Company’s Senior Notes for a total notional amount of $25 million. The 2004 Swap Agreement provides that the Company will receive interest of 87/8 and pay a variable rate of interest based upon six months LIBOR plus 4.34% (7.47% at October 4, 2008). The 2004 Swap Agreement expires on June 15, 2013 (the date on which the Senior Notes mature).
As a result of the 2003 and 2004 Swap Agreements, the weighted average effective interest rate of the Senior Notes was 8.15% as of October 4, 2008 and 9.14% as of September 29, 2007.

Table of Contents
The fair value of the Company’s outstanding interest rate swap agreements reflect the termination premium (unrealized loss) or termination discount (unrealized gain) that the Company would realize if such swaps were terminated on the valuation date. Since the provisions of the Company’s 2003 Swap Agreement and the 2004 Swap Agreement match the provisions of the Company’s outstanding Senior Notes (the “Hedged Debt”), changes in the fair value of the outstanding swaps do not have any effect on the Company’s results of operations but are recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized gains on the outstanding interest rate swap agreements are included in other assets with a corresponding increase in the Hedged Debt. Unrealized losses on the outstanding interest rate swap agreements are included as a component of long-term debt with a corresponding decrease in the Hedged Debt. The table below summarizes the fair value (unrealized gains (losses)) of the Company’s outstanding swap agreements:

New Credit Agreements
On August 26, 2008, Warnaco, as borrower, and Warnaco Group, as guarantor, entered into a revolving credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) and Warnaco of Canada Company (“Warnaco Canada”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Warnaco Group, as borrower, and Warnaco Group, as guarantor, entered into a second revolving credit agreement (the “New Canadian Credit Agreement” and, together with the New Credit Agreement, the “New Credit Agreements”), in each case with the financial institutions which, from time to time, will act as lenders and issuers of letters of credit (the “Lenders and Issuers”).
The New Credit Agreements replaced the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (see below), including the Term B Note, and were used to refinance the Term B Note. In addition, the New Credit Agreements will be used to issue standby and commercial letters of credit, to finance ongoing working capital and capital expenditure needs and for other general corporate purposes.
The New Credit Agreement provides for a five-year asset-based revolving credit facility under which up to $270.0 million initially will be available. In addition, during the term of the New Credit Agreement, Warnaco may make up to three requests for additional credit commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $200.0 million. The New Canadian Credit Agreement provides for a five-year asset-based revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount up to U.S. $30.0 million. The New Credit Agreements mature on August 26, 2013.
The New Credit Agreement has interest rate options that are based on (i) a Base Rate (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) plus 0.75% (5.75% at October 4, 2008) or (ii) a Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) plus 1.75% (6.08% at October 4, 2008) in each case, on aper annumbasis. The interest rate payable on outstanding borrowing is subject to adjustments based on changes in the Company’s leverage ratio. The New Canadian Credit Agreement has interest rate options that are based on (i) the prime rate announced by Bank of America (acting through its Canada branch) plus 0.75% (5.50% at October 4, 2008), or (ii) a BA Rate (as defined in the New Canadian Credit Agreement) plus 1.75% (5.95% at October 4, 2008), in each case, on aper annum basis and subject to adjustments based on changes in the Company’s leverage ratio. The BA Rate is defined as the annual rate of interest quoted by Bank of America (acting through its Canada branch) as its rate of interest for bankers’ acceptances in Canadian dollars for a face amount similar to the amount of the loan and for a term similar to the applicable interest period.
The New Credit Agreements contain covenants limiting the Company’s ability to (i) incur additional indebtedness and liens, (ii) make significant corporate changes including mergers and acquisitions with third parties, (iii) make investments, (iv) make loans, advances and guarantees to or for the benefit of third parties, (v) enter into hedge agreements, (vi) make restricted payments (including dividends and stock repurchases), and
59
Table of Contents
(vii) enter into transactions with affiliates. The New Credit Agreements also include certain other restrictive covenants.
The covenants under the New Credit Agreements contain negotiated exceptions and carve-outs, including the ability to repay indebtedness, make restricted payments and make investments so long as after giving pro forma effect to such actions the Company has a minimum level of Available Credit (as defined in the New Credit Agreements), the Company’s Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the New Credit Agreements) for the last four quarters was at least 1.1 to 1 and certain other requirements are met. In addition, if Available Credit is less than a Trigger Amount (as defined in the New Credit Agreements) the Company’s Fixed Charge Coverage ratio (as defined in the New Credit Agreements) must be at least 1.1 to 1.0.
The New Credit Agreement contains events of default, such as payment defaults, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency, the occurrence of a defined change of control, or the failure to observe the negative covenants and other covenants related to the operation and conduct of the Company’s business. Upon an event of default, the Lenders and Issuers will not be obligated to make loans or other extensions of credit and may, among other things, terminate their commitments and declare any then outstanding loans due and payable immediately. As of October 4, 2008 and November 6, 2008, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants contained in the New Credit Agreements.
The obligations of Warnaco under the New Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Warnaco Group and its indirect domestic subsidiaries (other than Warnaco) (collectively, the “U.S. Guarantors”). The obligations of Warnaco Canada under the New Canadian Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Warnaco Group, Warnaco and the U.S. Guarantors, as well as by a Canadian subsidiary of Warnaco Canada. As security for the obligations under the New Credit Agreements and the guarantees thereof, the Warnaco Group, Warnaco and each of the U.S. Guarantors has granted pursuant to a Pledge and Security Agreement to the collateral agent, for the benefit of the lenders and issuing banks, a first priority lien on substantially all of their tangible and intangible assets, including, without limitation, pledges of their equity ownership in domestic subsidiaries and up to 66% of their equity ownership in first-tier foreign subsidiaries, as well as liens on intellectual property rights. As security for the obligations under the New Canadian Credit Agreement and the guarantee thereof by Warnaco Canada’s sole subsidiary, Warnaco Canada and its subsidiary have each granted pursuant to General Security Agreements, a Securities Pledge Agreement and Deeds of Hypothec to the collateral agent, for the benefit of the lenders and issuing banks under the new Canadian Credit Agreement, a first priority lien on substantially all of their tangible and intangible assets, including, without limitation, pledges of their equity ownership subsidiaries, as well as liens on intellectual property rights.
On August 26, 2008, the Company used $90.0 million of the proceeds from the New Credit Agreements and $16.0 million of its existing cash and cash equivalents to repay $106.0 million in loans outstanding under the Term B Note of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement in full. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was terminated along with all related guarantees, mortgages, liens and security interests. In September 2008, the Company used its cash and cash equivalents to repay borrowings of $59.8 million under the New Credit Agreement. As of October 4, 2008, the Company had approximately $30.2 million in loans and approximately $60.9 million in letters of credit outstanding under the New Credit Agreement, leaving approximately $118.5 million of availability under the New Credit Agreement. As of October 4, 2008, Available Credit exceeded the Trigger Amount by approximately $88.5 million. As of October 4, 2008, there were no loans or letters of credit outstanding under the New Canadian Credit Agreement and the available line of credit was approximately $26.0 million.
Revolving Credit Facility; Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Foreign Revolving Credit Facility
On August 26, 2008, the Company terminated the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement in connection with the closing of the New Credit Agreements (see above). In addition, during the Three Months Ended October 4, 2008, the Company terminated the Foreign Revolving Credit Facility under which no amounts were outstanding. All guarantees, mortgages, liens and security interests related to both of those agreements were terminated at that time.

Euro-Denominated CKJEA Notes Payable
The total CKJEA notes payable of $53.4 million at October 4, 2008 consists of short-term revolving notes with a number of banks at various interest rates (primarily Euro LIBOR plus 1.0%). As of October 4, 2008 and September 29, 2007, the weighted average interest rate for the CKJEA notes payable outstanding was approximately 5.18% and 4.81%, respectively. All of the CKJEA notes payable are short-term and were renewed during the Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008 for additional terms of no more than 12 months.
Liquidity
The Company’s principal source of cash is from sales of its merchandise to both wholesale and retail customers. During the Three Months and Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008, there were increases in net revenues of 16.0% and 19.6%, respectively, compared to the same periods in Fiscal 2007 (seeResults of Operations — Net Revenues,above). However, the current weakness in the credit markets has reduced the ability of those customers to obtain credit, which creates uncertainty about their ability in the future to purchase the Company’s merchandise at the same or higher levels as in the past. A decline in future net revenues could have a material negative impact on the ability of the Company to conduct its operations at current levels.
However, the Company believes that, at October 4, 2008, cash on hand, cash available under its New Credit Agreements and cash to be generated from future operating activities will be sufficient to fund its operations, including capital expenditures, for the next 12 months. The New Credit Agreements replaced the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement on August 26, 2008 (seeCapital Resources and Liquidity — Financing Arrangements,above).
The Company’s liquidity was negatively impacted during the Three Months and Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008 due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the functional currencies where the Company conducts certain of its operations (primarily the Euro and the Canadian dollar). In particular, the Euro declined 12% (from $1.57 to $1.38 to 1 Euro) and 6% (from $1.47 to $1.38 to 1 Euro) during the Three and Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008, respectively. The Canadian dollar declined 5% and 9% during those same periods. In contrast, fluctuations in the Euro and Canadian dollar had a positive impact on the Company’s liquidity during the Three and Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 when the Euro increased 5% and 8%, respectively, and the Canadian dollar remained unchanged and increased 9%, respectively, relative to the U.S. dollar. In order to minimize foreign currency exchange risk, the Company enters into foreign currency exchange contracts which are designed to fix the number of Euros required to satisfy up to the first 50% of the dollar denominated purchases of inventory and of minimum royalty and advertising expenses incurred by certain of the Company’s European subsidiaries (seeItem 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk — Foreign Exchange Risk, below).
As of October 4, 2008, the Company had working capital of $505.4 million, cash and cash equivalents of $122.9 million, and short-term debt of $85.3 million. As of October 4, 2008, under the new Credit Agreement, the Company had approximately $30.2 million in loans and approximately $60.9 million in letters of credit outstanding under the New Credit Agreement, leaving approximately $118.5 million of availability under the New Credit Agreement. As of October 4, 2008, there were no loans or letters of credit outstanding under the New Canadian Credit Agreement.
The Company’s total debt as of October 4, 2008 was $247.8 million, consisting of $160.9 million of the Senior Notes, $30.2 million under the New Credit Agreement, $53.4 million of the CKJEA short-term notes payable and $3.3 million of other outstanding debt. The Company repaid $44.1 million of the Senior Notes in March 2008 from the proceeds of the sale of the Lejaby business during the Three Months Ended April 5, 2008.
The revolving credit facilities under the New Credit Agreements reflect funding commitments by a syndicate of 14 U.S. and Canadian banks, including Bank of America N.A., JPMorgan Chase, N.A. and The Bank of Nova Scotia. The ability of any one or more of those banks to meet its commitment to provide the Company with funding up to the maximum of available credit is dependent on the fair value of the bank’s assets and its legal lending ratio relative to those assets (amount the bank is allowed to lend). The current turmoil in the credit markets is based on the illiquidity of certain financial instruments held by financial institutions which reduces their fair value. This illiquidity creates uncertainty for the Company as to its ability to obtain funding for its operations as needed from any one or more of the syndicated banks. The short- and long-term impact of the efforts of the U.S. Treasury to relieve the illiquidity in the capital markets remains to be seen. The inability of the Company to borrow sufficient
61
Table of Contents
funds, when needed, under the New Credit Agreements, could have a material negative impact on its ability to conduct its business. The Company continues to monitor the creditworthiness of the syndicated banks and does not expect that any of those banks will default. The Company expects that it will be able to obtain needed funds when requested. However, in the event that such funds are not available, the Company may have to delay certain capital expenditures or plans to expand its business, to scale back operationsand/or raise capital through the sale of its equity or debt securities. There can be no assurance that the Company would be able to sell its equity or debt securities on terms that are satisfactory. As of October 4, 2008, the Company was able to borrow funds as needed under the New Credit Agreements.
Accounts receivable increased $59.1 million to $326.6 million at October 4, 2008 from $267.5 million at December 29, 2007, reflecting a $54.7 million increase in the Sportswear Group (due primarily to growth in the domestic and overseasCalvin KleinJeans business), a $26.2 million increase in the Intimate Apparel Group (due primarily to increased sales in the domestic and overseas businesses) and a $21.8 million decrease in the Swimwear Group (reflecting the seasonal shipment of swimwear products). The balance at December 29, 2007 includes approximately $4.0 million related to operations discontinued during the Nine Months ended October 4, 2008. Excluding these discontinued operations, accounts receivable increased $63.1 million reflecting growth in the Company’s Sportswear and Intimate Apparel businesses.
Accounts receivable increased $38.6 million to $326.6 million at October 4, 2008 from $288.0 million at September 29, 2007. The balance at September 29, 2007 includes approximately $0.9 million related to operations discontinued during the Year Ended October 4, 2008. Excluding these discontinued operations, accounts receivable increased $39.5 million primarily reflecting growth in the Company’s Sportswear and Intimate Apparel businesses.
Inventories decreased $17.1 million to $315.6 million at October 4, 2008 from $332.7 million at December 29, 2007 primarily related to declines in the Swimwear group due to the seasonal sell-off of swimwear product, partially offset by increases in both Sportswear and Intimate Apparel inventory levels to support expected sales. The balance at December 29, 2007 includes approximately $7.9 million related to operations discontinued during the Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008. Excluding these discontinued operations, inventory decreased $9.2 million.
Inventories decreased $24.6 million to $315.6 million at October 4, 2008 from $340.2 million at September 29, 2007. The balance at September 29, 2007 includes approximately $5.1 million related to operations discontinued during the Year Ended October 4, 2008. Excluding these discontinued operations, inventory decreased $19.5 million.
Share Repurchase Program
In May 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the “2007 Share Repurchase Program”) for the repurchase of up to 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company expects that, in order to comply with the terms of applicable debt instruments, purchases under this newly authorized program will be made over a period of four years from the date the program was approved. During the Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008, the Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock under the 2007 Share Repurchase Program. The share repurchase program may be modified or terminated by the Company’s Board of Directors at any time.
Repurchased shares are held in treasury pending use for general corporate purposes.

Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $94.5 million for the Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008 compared to $82.0 million for the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007. The $12.5 million increase in cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was due primarily to a $7.4 million increase in net income coupled with the changes to non-cash charges and working capital. The Company experienced a $9.2 million increase in cash required to support working capital primarily related to increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses and accrued income taxes (mainly due to an accrual during the Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008 of approximately $15.5 million associated with the repatriation, to the U.S., of the proceeds related to the sale of theLejabybusiness) , net of adjustments for working capital, partially offset by outflows associated with increases in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets. The Company experienced a $4.1 million decrease in non-cash charges primarily reflecting, among other items, a $23.3 million increase in foreign exchange losses and a $5.3 million loss on repurchase of Senior Notes and refinancing of revolving credit facility, partially offset by a $16.6 million decrease in depreciation and amortization, an $8.2 million decrease in inventory write-downs (primarily related to the Company’s Swimwear group) and an $11.0 million decrease in income from discontinued operations.
Cash used in investing activities from continuing operations was $32.4 million for the Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008, mainly attributable to purchases of property, plant and equipment of $31.1 million and cash used for business acquisitions, net of cash acquired of $2.4 million, mainly related to the acquisition of a business which operates 11 retail stores in China and purchase of intangible assets of $26.7 million, mainly related to new licenses acquired from PVH on January 30, 2008 (see Note 3 to Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements). Those amounts were partially offset by a net amount of $27.5 million received from the sale of the Lejaby business, which closed on March 10, 2008 (see Note 4 of Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements). For the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007, cash used in investing activities from continuing operations was $24.5 million, primarily due to purchases of property, plant and equipment.
For the Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008, cash used in financing activities was $100.3 million, attributable mainly to the repayments of the Term B note of $107.3 million, repurchase of $46.2 million of Senior Notes, repurchase of treasury stock of $4.5 million (related to the surrender of shares in connection with the vesting of certain restricted stock awarded by the Company to its employees) and the payment of deferred financing costs of $3.6 million. Those amounts were partially offset by $30.2 million received under the New Credit Facility, $28.5 million received from the exercise of employee stock options and $2.5 million related to an increase in short-term notes payable. Cash used in financing activities in the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 was $84.3 million primarily due to repayments of the Term B Note of $41.4 million, a decrease in short term notes payable of $20.9 million and purchase of treasury stock of $32.9 million (primarily related to the Company’s stock

repurchase programs). These amounts were partially offset by $11.1 million received from the exercise of employee stock options.
Cash in operating accounts primarily represents lockbox receipts not yet cleared or available to the Company, cash held by foreign subsidiaries and compensating balances required under various trade, credit and other arrangements.
Significant Contractual Obligations and Commitments
Contractual obligations and commitments as of October 4, 2008 were not materially different from those disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report onForm 10-K for Fiscal 2007, with the exception of certain operating leases and other contractual obligations pursuant to agreements entered into during the Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008 (seeNote 19 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements).

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. |
The Company is exposed to market risk primarily related to changes in hypothetical investment values under certain of the Company’s employee benefit plans, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculation or for trading purposes.
Market Risk
The Company’s pension plan invests in marketable equity and debt securities, mutual funds, common collective trusts, limited partnerships and cash accounts. These investments are subject to changes in the market value of individual securities and interest rates as well as changes in the overall economy. Investments are stated at fair value, except as disclosed below, based upon quoted market prices. Investments in limited partnerships are valued based on estimated fair value by the management of the limited partnerships in the absence of readily ascertainable market values. These estimated fair values are based upon the underlying investments of the limited partnerships. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed, and the differences could be material. The limited partnerships utilize a “fund of funds” approach resulting in diversified multi-strategy, multi-manager investments. The limited partnerships invest capital in a diversified group of investment entities, generally hedge funds, private investment companies, portfolio funds and pooled investment vehicles which engage in a variety of investment strategies, managed by investment managers. Fair value is determined by the administrators of each underlying investment, in consultation with the investment managers. Investments in common collective trusts are valued at the net asset value, as determined by the trust manager, of the shares held by the pension plan at year end, which is based on the fair value of the underlying assets. The common collective trusts are not traded on a public exchange and maintains a net asset value of $1 per share.
During the third quarter of 2008, turmoil in the worldwide financial and credit markets has resulted in the decline in the fair value of debt and equity securities and other investments including the fair value of the pension plan’s investment portfolio. Changes in the value of the pension plan’s investment portfolio are directly reflected in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations through pension expense and in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as a component of accrued pension liability. The Company records the effect of any changes in actuarial assumptions (including changes in the discount rate) and the difference between the assumed rate of return
65

on plan assets and the actual return on plan assets in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year. The total value of the pension plan’s investment portfolio was $138.1 million at December 29, 2007. A hypothetical 10% increase/decrease in the value of the Company’s pension plan investment portfolio would have resulted in a decrease/increase in pension expense of $13.8 million for Fiscal 2007. Based on historical appreciation in the Company’s pension plan investment portfolio, the Company, during the Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008, has been estimating pension expense on an interim basis assuming a long-term rate of return on pension plan investments of 8%, net of pension plan expenses. However, assuming that the fair value of the investment portfolio does not recover from its value at October 4, 2008, in light of the actual 13% decline in the fair value of the Company’s pension plan investment portfolio to $120.0 million at October 4, 2008, the Company could recognize $20 million to $30 million of pension expense for the year ending January 3, 2009. A 1% increase/decrease in the actual return earned on pension plan assets (a decrease in the return on plan assets from 13% to 12% or an increase in the return on plan assets from 13% to 14%) would result in a decrease/increase of approximately $2.0 million in pension expense (increase/decrease in pension income) for Fiscal 2008.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company has market risk from exposure to changes in interest rates on its 2003 and 2004 Swap Agreements with notional amounts totaling $75.0 million, on $30.2 million outstanding at October 4, 2008 under the New Credit Agreements and, at September 29, 2007, on its $127.8 million of loans outstanding under the Term B Note under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. There was no exposure at September 29, 2007 on the revolving credit facility under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement since the balance was zero. The Company is not exposed to interest rate risk on its Senior Notes because the interest rate on the Senior Notes is fixed at 87/8% per annum. With respect to the 2003 and 2004 Swap Agreements, a hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates would have had an unfavorable impact of $0.4 million in the Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008 and $0.6 million in the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 on the Company’s income from continuing operations before provision for income taxes. A hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates for the loans outstanding under the Term B Note would have had an unfavorable effect of $0.7 million in the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 on the Company’s income from continuing operations before provision for income taxes. A hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates for the loans outstanding under the New Credit Agreements would have had an unfavorable effect of $0.1 million in the Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008 on the Company’s income from continuing operations before provision for income taxes.
Foreign Exchange Risk
The Company has foreign currency exposures primarily related to buying in currencies other than the functional currency in which it operates. These exposures have created significant foreign currency translation risk and have had a significant negative impact on the Company’s earnings during the Three and Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008. The negative impact has continued beyond the end of the quarter as the U.S. dollar has continued to strengthen against foreign currencies of the Company’s Canadian, Mexican, Central and South American, European and Asian operations. These operations accounted for approximately 54.0% of the Company’s total net revenues for the Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008. These foreign operations of the Company purchase products from suppliers denominated in U.S. dollars. Total purchases of products made by foreign subsidiaries denominated in U.S. dollars amounted to approximately $213.1 million for the Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008. A hypothetical decrease of 10% in the value of these foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar would have increased cost of goods sold (which would decrease operating income) by $21.3 million for the Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008.
As of October 28, 2008, the U.S. dollar continued to strengthen by 9.4% against the Euro, 16% against the Canadian dollar and 19.2% against the Korean Won above the foreign exchange rates at October 4, 2008. The impact of those changes on a hypothetical $3 million of purchases on October 4, 2008, $1 million in each of Europe, Canada and Korea, would be to increase cost of goods sold by $0.45 million at October 28, 2008.
The fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts was determined as the net unrealized gains or losses on those contracts, which is the net difference between (i) the U.S. dollars to be received or paid at the contracts’ settlement date and (ii) the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency to be sold or purchased at the current forward exchange rate.

During the Three Months Ended October 4, 2008, the Company’sCalvin Klein(“CK”) Jeans Europe (“CKJE”) subsidiary entered into foreign currency exchange forward contracts, which were designated as cash flow hedges for financial reporting purposes in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities(“SFAS 133”), as amended by SFAS No. 138,Accounting for Certain Derivatives and Certain Hedging Activities(“SFAS 138”). These foreign currency exchange forward contracts, which were outstanding at October 4, 2008, require the purchase of approximately $9.4 million for a total of approximately €6.7 million at a weighted average exchange rate of $1.41 to €1.00 and mature through August 2009. The Company’s foreign currency exchange forward contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges are designed to offset the risk of changes in the functional currency cash flows attributable to changes in the related foreign currency exchange rate by fixing the number of Euros required to satisfy up to 50% of purchases of inventory by CKJE in a given month for a period up to eighteen months in the future. Such purchase commitments are denominated in United States dollars; the functional currency of CKJE is the Euro. Gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates are deferred in Other Comprehensive Income on the Company’s Balance Sheet and amortized as inventory variance within cost of good sold during the three-month period over which the purchased inventory is sold. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in the foreign currency exchange rate between the Euro and the U.S. dollar (i.e., an increase in the Euro/dollar exchange rate from 1.41 to 1.55) would have increased the loss recognized in cost of goods sold, in the Company’s Statement of Operations, by an immaterial amount at October 4, 2008.
As of October 4, 2008, the Company also had foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding to purchase approximately $27.3 million for a total of approximately €17.7 million at a weighted-average exchange rate of $1.54 to €1.00. These foreign currency exchange contracts mature through November 2009 and are designed to fix the number of Euros required to satisfy up to the first 50% of dollar denominated purchases of inventory in a given month by certain of the Company’s European subsidiaries. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in the foreign currency exchange rate between the Euro and the U.S. dollar (i.e., an increase in the Euro/dollar exchange rate from 1.54 to 1.69) would have decreased the unrealized gain, recognized by the Company in its Statement of Operations, on outstanding foreign exchange contracts by approximately $2.7 million at October 4, 2008.
As of October 4, 2008, the Company was also party to outstanding foreign currency exchange contracts to purchase approximately $12.3 million for a total of approximately €8.7 million at a weighted average exchange rate of $1.41 to €1.00. The foreign currency exchange contracts mature through September 2009 and are designed to fix the number of Euros required to satisfy certain dollar denominated minimum royalty and advertising expenses incurred by certain of the Company’s European subsidiaries. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in the foreign currency exchange rate between the Euro and the U.S. dollar (i.e., an increase in the Euro/dollar exchange rate from 1.41 to 1.56) would have increased the unrealized loss, recognized by the Company in its Statement of Operations, on outstanding foreign exchange contracts by approximately $1.2 million at October 4, 2008.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures. |
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined inRules 13a-15(e) and15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report onForm 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined inRules 13a-15(f) and15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended October 4, 2008 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings. |
The information required by this Item 1 of Part II is incorporated herein by reference to Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements,Note 17 Legal Matters.
Item 1A. | Risk Factors. |
Please refer toItem 1A.Risk Factorsin the Company’s Annual Report onForm 10-K for Fiscal 2007, filed with the SEC on February 27, 2008, for a description of certain significant risks and uncertainties to which the Company’s business, operations and financial condition are subject. In addition to the risk factors described in theForm 10-K, the Company notes the following additional risks and uncertainties:
Recent and future economic conditions, including turmoil in the financial and credit markets, may adversely affect our business.
Recent economic conditions may adversely affect our business, including as a result of the potential impact on the apparel industry, our customers and our financing and other contractual arrangements. In addition, conditions may remain depressed in the future or may be subject to further deterioration. Recent or future developments in the U.S. and global economies may lead to a reduction in consumer spending overall, which could have an adverse impact on sales of our products. Similarly, such events could adversely affect the businesses of our wholesale and retail customers, which may, among other things, result in financial difficulties leading to restructurings, bankruptcies, liquidations and other unfavorable events for our customers, and may cause such customers to reduce or discontinue orders of our products. Tightening of the credit markets could also make it difficult for our customers to obtain credit to purchase our products, which could adversely affect our results of operations. A significant adverse change in a customer’s financialand/or credit position could also require us to assume greater credit risk relating to that customer’s receivables or could limit our ability to collect amounts related to previous purchases by that customer. Recent and future economic conditions may also adversely affect third parties that source certain of our products, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
Tightening of the credit markets and recent or future turmoil in the financial markets could also make it more difficult for us to refinance our existing indebtedness (if necessary), to enter into agreements for new indebtedness or to obtain funding through the issuance of the Company’s securities. Worsening economic conditions could also result in difficulties for financial institutions (including bank failures) and other parties that we may do business with, which could potentially impair our ability to access financing under existing arrangements or to otherwise recover amounts as they become due under our other contractual arrangements.
In addition, our stock price has experienced, and could continue to experience in the future, significant declines. For example, during the period between May 15, 2008 and October 30, 2008 the trading price of our common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange ranged from a high of $53.89 to a low of $22.46. Our stock price may fluctuate as a result of many factors (many of which are beyond our control), including recent global economic conditions and broad market fluctuations, public perception of the prospects for the apparel industry and other factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our SEC filings.
Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds. |
The following table summarizes repurchases of the Company’s common stock during the Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008.
In May 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the “2007 Share Repurchase Program”) for the repurchase of up to 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company expects that, in order to comply with the terms of applicable debt instruments, purchases under this newly authorized program will be made over a period of four years from the date the program was approved. During the Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008, the Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock under the
68
Table of Contents
2007 Share Repurchase Program. The share repurchase program may be modified or terminated by the Company’s Board of Directors at any time.
Repurchased shares are held in treasury pending use for general corporate purposes.
An aggregate of 120,845 shares included below as repurchased during the Nine Months Ended October 4, 2008 reflect the surrender of shares in connection with the vesting of certain restricted stock awarded by the Company to its employees. At the election of an employee, shares having an aggregate value on the vesting date equal to the employee’s withholding tax obligation may be surrendered to the Company in satisfaction thereof. The repurchase of these shares is not a part of the 2007 Share Repurchase Program.
