Insurance Reserves
 
We maintain insurance coverage for property, workers’ compensation and other casualty programs. We are responsible for losses up to certain limits and are required to estimate a liability that represents the ultimate exposure for aggregate losses below those limits. This liability is based on management’s estimates of the ultimate costs to be incurred to settle known claims and claims not reported as of the balance sheet date. The estimated liability is not discounted and is based on a number of assumptions and factors, including historical trends, actuarial assumptions and economic conditions. If actual trends differ from the estimates, the financial results could be impacted.

Insurance Reserves
 
Prior to the spin off, we were insured through Sara Lee for property, worker’s compensation, and other casualty programs, subject to minimum claims thresholds. Because the Sara Lee programs cover a large number of participants in many domestic Sara Lee operating units in addition to us, Sara Lee charges an amount to cover premium costs to each operating unit. In connection with the spin off which occurred on September 5, 2006, we obtained our own insurance coverage, the costs for which are greater than the costs realized as a participant in Sara Lee’s programs.
