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”). SFAS 161 expands the disclosure requirements of FASB Statement No. 133 about an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities to include more detailed qualitative disclosures and expanded quantitative disclosures. The provisions of SFAS 161 are effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 161 will not have a material impact on our results of operations.
 
Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
We are required under our senior secured credit facility and our second lien credit facility to hedge a portion of our floating rate debt to reduce interest rate risk caused by floating rate debt issuance. At September 27, 2008, we have outstanding hedging arrangements whereby we capped the interest rate on $700 million of our floating rate debt at 5.75%. We also entered into interest rate swaps tied to the 3-month and 6-month LIBOR rates whereby we fixed the interest rate on an aggregate of $600 million of our floating rate debt. Approximately 56% of our total debt outstanding at September 27, 2008 is at a fixed or capped rate. Due to the recent significant changes in the credit markets, the fair values of our interest rate hedging instruments have decreased approximately $6.7 million and $7.2 million during the third quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2008, respectively. This activity has been deferred into Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet until the hedged transactions impact our earnings.
 
Subsequent to September 27, 2008, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with a notional amount totaling $400 million, as a result of which we have fixed LIBOR on a portion of our outstanding debt at 2.80% for a 2-year term. These agreements will become effective during the fourth quarter of 2008 and, when combined with expirations of other portions of our interest rate derivative portfolio, will result in approximately 86% of our floating rate debt bearing interest at a fixed or capped rate. Once these interest rate hedging arrangements become effective in the fourth quarter of 2008, the LIBOR interest rate component on $600 million of our floating rate debt will be capped at 3.50% and the LIBOR interest rate component on $1.4 billion of our floating rate debt will be fixed at a weighted average rate of 4.17%.
 
Cotton is the primary raw material we use to manufacture many of our products. While we attempt to protect our business from the volatility of the market price of cotton through short-term supply agreements and hedges, our business can be adversely affected by dramatic movements in cotton prices. The price of cotton currently in our inventory has risen to the mid 70 cents per pound range which is the price that will impact our operating results in the fourth quarter of 2008 and first quarter of 2009. The prices for the most recent cotton crop, which will impact our operating results in mid 2009, have decreased to the 50 cents per pound range. The ultimate effect of these pricing levels on our earnings cannot be quantified, as the effect of movements in cotton prices on industry selling prices are uncertain, but any dramatic increase in the price of cotton could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Cotton is the primary raw material we use to manufacture many of our products. While we attempt to protect our business from the volatility of the market price of cotton through short-term supply agreements and hedges, our business can be adversely affected by dramatic movements in cotton prices. The price of cotton has recently exceeded its historical trading range of 30 to 70 cents per pound. The price of cotton currently in our inventory has risen to the 70 cents per pound range which is the price that will impact our operating results in the third and fourth quarters of 2008. Additionally, the prices for the cotton crop grown this coming summer season, which will impact our operating results in 2009, have risen to the upper 70 cents per pound range. The ultimate effect of these pricing levels on our earnings cannot be quantified, as the effect of movements in cotton prices on industry selling prices are uncertain, but any dramatic increase in the price of cotton could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
