Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. Historically, Sara Lee has maintained risk management control systems on our behalf to monitor the foreign exchange, interest rate and commodities risks and Sara Lee’s offsetting hedge position. Sara Lee’s risk management control system uses analytical techniques including market value, sensitivity analysis and value at risk estimations.

Foreign Exchange Risk

Our exposure to foreign exchange rates exists primarily with respect to the Canadian dollar, Mexican peso, and Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar. Following the spin off, we intend to continue Sara Lee’s policy of using foreign exchange forward and option contracts to hedge our exposure to adverse changes in foreign exchange rates. A sensitivity analysis technique has been used to evaluate the effect that changes in the market value of foreign exchange currencies will have on our forward and option contracts. At the end of fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2005 and as of April 1, 2006, the potential change in fair value of these instruments, assuming a 10% change in the underlying currency price, was $6.1 million, $6.4 million and $6.3 million, respectively.

Interest Rates

Our historic interest rate exposure primarily relates to intercompany loans or other amounts due to or from Sara Lee, cash balances (positive or negative) in foreign cash pool accounts which we have maintained with Sara Lee in the past, and cash held in short-term investment accounts outside of the United States. We have not historically used financial instruments to address our exposure to interest rate movements.

We and Sara Lee have various notes receivable and notes payable between the parties that are reflected on the Combined and Consolidated Balance Sheet. We and Sara Lee have agreed that these notes receivable and payable will not be repaid at the distribution date and will be capitalized by the parties prior to the spin off. As

part of the separation, we will incur (i) $1.65 billion of indebtedness under a senior secured credit facility, which will include an additional $500.0 million revolving credit facility which we expect to be undrawn at the closing of the spin off and (ii) $450.0 million of indebtedness under a senior secured second lien credit facility that will bear interest at a floating rate based on a published market rate plus the applicable margin from the credit agreements. We will pay $2.4 billion of the proceeds of this debt to Sara Lee. We will also incur $500.0 million of indebtedness under a bridge loan facility that will have a fixed rate of interest and there can be no assurance that we will be able to refinance this indebtedness at the same or better rates upon maturity. We will be exposed to interest rate risk from the floating rate debt issuance and may or may not choose to hedge the interest rate on this floating rate debt. As a result, a 25 basis point movement in the interest rate charged on the floating rate debt that will be issued by us would result in a change in interest expense of $5.3 million.

Commodities

Cotton is the primary raw material we use to manufacture many of our products. In addition, fluctuations in crude oil or petroleum prices may influence the prices of other raw materials we use to manufacture our products, such as chemicals, dyestuffs, polyester yarn and foam. We generally purchase our raw materials at market prices. In fiscal 2006, we started to use commodity financial instruments to hedge the price of cotton, for which there is a high correlation between costs and the financial instrument. We also generally do not use commodity financial instruments to hedge other raw material commodity prices. At April 1, 2006, the potential change in fair value of cotton commodity derivative instruments, assuming a 10% change in the underlying commodity price, was $14.8 million.
