we are what you wear 2007 Annual Report To our investors: +- $ We are very proud of our results and accomplishments in 2007. Eighteen months ago, we spun off as an independent public company with a core set of strategies and a lot of potential for improvement. Today, we are delivering results based on a sharp focus on the strategies we laid out to build our brands, reduce our costs and generate cash. Sell more, spend less and generate cash has become our mantra. 1. SELL mORE: We drive profitable growth by consistently offering consum- ers the brands they love and trust and products with unsurpassed value. 2. SPEnD LESS: We are integrating our organization to leverage its size and global reach to reduce costs, improve flexibility and provide a high level of service. 3. GEnERATE CASh: We are effectively generating and investing cash to provide superior returns for both our equity and debt investors. Our growth model is straightforward. Our generation of strong, consistent cash flow combined with cost-reduction efforts and modest sales growth yields significant opportunity to increase non-gaap diluted eps.

SucceSSful firSt year In 2007, our first full year as an independent public company, we did what we said we would do to deliver strong results. We sold more – sales were up 1.6 percent – reversing years of sales declines. We grew in each quarter of the year, achieved growth for three of our four largest brands – Hanes, Champion and Bali – and increased sales to our three largest customers. We spent less, increasing our non-gaap operating margin by 20 basis points. We achieved this by exceeding our goal of offsetting increased standalone costs and investment in our strategic initiatives with savings from continued consolidation and supply-chain globalization. And we generated cash, increasing our cash flow nearly 30 percent to $359 million and utilizing that cash to pay down debt and create value for investors. From spinoff through the end of 2007, we had paid down $285 million in long- term debt, made voluntary pension plan contributions of $96 million (making our qualified pension plans 97 percent funded), and repurchased $44 million in stock. As a result, we have lowered our adjusted debt to ebitdar ratio to 4.6 from 5.2 times.(1) 2008 aND BeyOND We are seeking to build on the momentum we achieved in 2007. We have major marketing programs under way in core categories with our largest and strongest brands. We continue to consolidate our organization and develop a global supply chain in lower-cost countries. To complement our offshore sewing operations, we have opened textile plants in Central America and the Caribbean and have an additional plant under construction in China. Due to the replenishment nature of our core categories, including underwear, socks and intimate apparel, we have strong and consistent cash flow. Our first priority is to invest in our business. With our excess cash flow, we are paying down debt and repurchasing shares. Our leverage goal is 4.0 times adjusted debt to ebitdar, with a range of 3.5 to less than 5.0. Our gOal iS tO Deliver value We are focused on continuing to execute our strategies as we strive to achieve our long-term growth goals for sales, operating profit and eps in 2008. Our goals for the next three to five years are to achieve 1 percent to 3 percent annual sales growth, 6 percent to 8 percent annual operating profit growth and double-digit annual growth for diluted eps. This is a very exciting time for Hanesbrands. We have momentum and many initiatives under way, and we have nearly 50,000 employees focused on executing these initiatives. Our ability to execute and to deliver results will ultimately be the best measure of our success. We have clear objectives and closely aligned incentives, and we are well-positioned to reach our goals and create value for our investors. Lee A. Chaden Chairman February 29, 2008 Richard A. Noll Chief Executive Officer (1) adjusted debt and eBitDar are non-gaaP measures. adjusted debt includes operating leases and underfunded pension liabilities. eBitDar is earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent.

The following include some but not all of the factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated: m our ability to migrate our production and manufacturing operations to lower-cost locations around the world; m risks associated with our foreign operations or foreign supply sources, such as disruption of markets, changes in import and export laws, currency restrictions and currency exchange rate fluctuations; m the impact of economic and business conditions and industry trends in the countries in which we operate our supply chain; m the highly competitive and evolving nature of the industry in which we compete; m our ability to effectively manage our inventory and reduce inventory reserves; m our ability to keep pace with changing consumer preferences; m loss of or reduction in sales to any of our top customers, especially Wal-Mart; m financial difficulties experienced by any of our top customers; m failure by us to protect against dramatic changes in the volatile market price of cotton, the primary material used in the manufacture of our products; m the impact of increases in prices of other materials used in our products, such as dyes and chemicals, and increases in other costs, such as fuel, energy and utility costs; m costs and adverse publicity arising from violations of labor or environmental laws by us or any of our third-party manufacturers; m our ability to attract and retain key personnel; m our debt and debt service requirements that restrict our operating and financial flexibility, and impose interest and financing costs; 2 m consumer disposable income and spending levels, including the availability and amount of individual consumer debt; m retailer consolidation and other changes in the apparel essentials industry; m future financial performance, including availability, terms and deployment of capital; m new litigation or developments in existing litigation; m our ability to comply with environmental and occupational health and safety laws and regulations; m general economic conditions; and m possible terrorists attacks and ongoing military action in the Middle East and other parts of the world. There may be other factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward- looking statements. We can give no assurances that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will occur or, if any of them does, what impact they will have on our results of operations and financial condition. You should carefully read the factors described in the “Risk Factors” section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a description of certain risks that could, among other things, cause our actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K PART I ITEM 1. Business General We are a consumer goods company with a portfolio of leading apparel brands, including Hanes, Champion, Playtex, Bali, Just My Size, barely there and Wonderbra. We design, manufacture, source and sell a broad range of apparel essentials such as t-shirts, bras, panties, men’s underwear, kids’ under- wear, socks, hosiery, casualwear and activewear. Our products are sold through multiple distribution channels. During the year ended December 29, 2007, approximately 46% of our net sales were to mass merchants, 19% were to national chains and department stores, 8% were direct to consumers, 9% were in our International segment and 18% were to other retail channels such as embellishers, specialty retailers, ware- house clubs and sporting goods stores. In addition to designing and marketing apparel essentials, we have a long history of operating a global supply chain that incorporates a mix of self- manufacturing, third-party contractors and third-party sourcing. The apparel essentials segment of the apparel industry is characterized by frequently replenished items, such as t-shirts, bras, panties, men’s underwear, kids’ underwear, socks and hosiery. Growth and sales in the apparel essentials industry are not primarily driven by fashion, in contrast to other areas of the broader apparel industry. Rather, we focus on the core attributes of comfort, fit and value, while remaining current with regard to consumer trends. The majority of our core styles continue from year to year, with variations only in color, fabric or design details. We continue to invest in our largest and stron- gest brands to achieve our long-term growth goals. Our operations are managed and reported in five operating segments: Innerwear, Outerwear, Hosiery, International and Other. The following table summarizes our operating segments by category: Segment Primary Products Primary Brands Innerwear Intimate apparel, such as bras, panties and bodywear Hanes, Playtex, Bali, barely there, Just My Size, Wonderbra, Duofold Men’s underwear and kids’ underwear Socks Hanes, Champion, Polo Ralph Lauren* Hanes, Champion Outerwear Activewear, such as perfor- mance t-shirts and shorts Hanes, Champion, Just My Size Casualwear, such as t-shirts, fleece and sport shirts Hanes, Just My Size, Outer Banks, Hanes Beefy-T Hosiery Hosiery International Activewear, men’s underwear, Other kids’ underwear, intimate apparel, socks, hosiery and casualwear Nonfinished products, including fabric and certain other materials L’eggs, Hanes, Just My Size, Donna Karan,* DKNY* Hanes, Wonderbra,** Playtex,** Champion, Rinbros, Bali, Stedman Not applicable * Brand used under a license agreement. ** As a result of the February 2006 sale of the European branded apparel business of Sara Lee Corporation, or “Sara Lee,” we are not permitted to sell this brand in the member states of the European Union, or the “EU,” several other European countries and South Africa. Our brands have a strong heritage in the apparel essentials industry. According to The NPD Group/Consumer Tracking Ser- vice, or “NPD,” our brands hold either the number one or number two U.S. market position by sales in most product categories in which we compete, on a rolling year-end basis as of December 31, 2007. According to a 2007 survey of consumer brand awareness by Women’s Wear Daily, Hanes is the most recognized apparel and accessory brand among women in the United States. According to Millward Brown Market Research, Hanes is found in over 85% of the United States households that have purchased men’s or women’s casual clothing or underwear in the 12-month period ended December 31, 2007. According to NPD, we are the largest seller of apparel essentials in the United States as measured by sales on a rolling year-end basis as of December 31, 2007. We sell our products primarily through large, high-volume retailers, including mass merchants, department stores and national chains. We have met the demands of our customers by developing vertically integrated operations and an extensive network of owned facilities and third-party manufacturers over a broad geographic footprint. We have strong, long-term relationships with our top customers, including relationships of more than ten years with each of our top ten customers. The size and operational scale of the high- volume retailers with which we do business require extensive category and product knowledge and specialized services regard- ing the quantity, quality and planning of orders. We align signifi- cant parts of our organization with corresponding parts of our customers, organizing into teams that sell to and service our customers across a range of functional areas, such as demand planning, replenishment and logistics. We also have customer- specific programs such as the C9 by Champion products mar- keted and sold through Target stores. Our ability to react to changing customer needs and industry trends will continue to be key to our success. Our design, research and product development teams, in partnership with our marketing teams, drive our efforts to bring innovations to market. We intend to leverage our insights into consumer demand in the apparel essentials industry to develop new products within our existing lines and to modify our existing core products in ways that make them more appealing, address- ing changing customer needs and industry trends. Examples of our recent innovations include: m Hanes All-Over Comfort Bra, which features stay-put straps that don’t slip, cushioned wires that don’t poke and a tag- free back (2006). m Hanes Comfort Soft T-shirt (2007). m Bali Passion for Comfort bra, designed to be the ultimate comfort bra, features a silky smooth lining for a luxurious feel against the body (2007). m Bali Concealers bras, the first and only bra with revolution- ary concealing petals for complete modesty (2008). m Hanes no ride up panties (2008). 3 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K We were spun off from Sara Lee on September 5, 2006. In connection with the spin off, Sara Lee contributed its branded apparel Americas and Asia business to us and distributed all of the outstanding shares of our common stock to its stockholders on a pro rata basis. As a result of the spin off, Sara Lee ceased to own any equity interest in our company. In this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we describe the businesses contributed to us by Sara Lee in the spin off as if the contributed businesses were our business for all historical periods described. References in this Annual Report on Form 10-K to our assets, liabilities, products, businesses or activities of our business for periods including or prior to the spin off are generally intended to refer to the historical assets, liabilities, products, businesses or activities of the contributed businesses as the businesses were conducted as part of Sara Lee and its subsidiaries prior to the spin off. Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to December 31 and previously ended on the Saturday closest to June 30. We refer to the fiscal year ended December 29, 2007 as the year ended December 29, 2007. A reference to a year ended on another date is to the fiscal year ended on that date. We expect to continue the restructuring efforts that we have undertaken since the spin off from Sara Lee. For example, during the year ended December 29, 2007, in furtherance of our efforts to execute our consolidation and globalization strategy, we approved actions to close 17 manufacturing facilities and three distribution centers. The implementation of these efforts, which are designed to improve operating efficiencies and lower costs, has resulted and is likely to continue to result in significant costs and savings. As further plans are developed and approved by management and in some cases our board of directors, we expect to recognize additional restructuring costs to eliminate duplicative functions within the organization and transition a significant portion of our manufacturing capacity to lower-cost locations. As a result of these efforts, we expect to incur approximately $250 million in restructuring and related charges over the three year period following the spin off from Sara Lee, approximately half of which is expected to be noncash. As of December 29, 2007, we have recognized approximately $116 million in restructuring and related charges related to these efforts. Our Industry The overall U.S. apparel market and the core categories critical to our future success will continue to be influenced by a number of broad-based trends: m the U.S. population is predicted to increase at a rate of less than 1% annually, with the rate of increase declining through 2050, with a continued aging of the population and a shift in the ethnic mix; m changing attitudes about fashion, the need for versatility, and continuing preferences for more casual apparel are expected to support the strength of basic or classic styles of “relaxed apparel;” m the impact of a continued deflationary environment in our business and the apparel essentials industry; 4 m continued increases in body size across all age groups and genders, and especially among children, will drive demand for plus-sized apparel; and m intense competition in the retail industry, the shifting of formats among major retailers, convenience and value will continue to be key drivers. In addition, we anticipate growth in the apparel essentials industry will be driven in part by product improvements and innovations. Improvements in product features, such as stretch in t-shirts or tagless garment labels, or in increased variety through new sizes or styles, are expected to enhance consumer appeal and category demand. Often the innovations and improvements in our industry are not trend-driven, but are designed to react to identifiable consumer needs and demands. As a consequence, the apparel essentials market is character- ized by lower fashion risks compared to other apparel categories. Our Brands Our portfolio of leading brands is designed to address the needs and wants of various consumer segments across a broad range of apparel essentials products. Each of our brands has a particular consumer positioning that distinguishes it from its competitors and guides its advertising and product develop- ment. We discuss some of our most important brands in more detail below. Hanes is the largest and most widely recognized brand in our portfolio. According to a 2007 survey of consumer brand awareness by Women’s Wear Daily, Hanes is the most recog- nized apparel and accessory brand among women in the United States. The Hanes brand covers all of our product categories, including men’s underwear, kids’ underwear, bras, panties, socks, t-shirts, fleece and sheer hosiery. Hanes stands for outstanding comfort, style and value. According to Millward Brown Market Research, Hanes is found in over 85% of the United States households that have purchased men’s or women’s casual clothing or underwear in the 12-month period ended December 31, 2007. Champion is our second-largest brand. Specializing in ath- letic and other performance apparel, the Champion brand is designed for everyday athletes. We believe that Champion’s combination of comfort, fit and style provides athletes with mobility, durability and up-to-date styles, all product qualities that are important in the sale of athletic products. We also distribute products under the C9 by Champion brand exclusively through Target stores. Playtex, the third-largest brand within our portfolio, offers a line of bras, panties and shapewear, including products that offer solutions for hard to fit figures. Bali is the fourth-largest brand within our portfolio. Bali offers a range of bras, panties and shapewear sold in the department store channel. Our brand portfolio also includes the following well-known brands: L’eggs, Just My Size, barely there, Wonderbra, Outer Banks and Duofold. These brands serve to round out our product offerings, allowing us to give consumers a variety of options to meet their diverse needs. H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . Our Segments Our operations are managed in five operating segments, each of which is a reportable segment for financial reporting purposes: Innerwear, Outerwear, Hosiery, International and Other. These segments are organized principally by product category and geographic location. For more information about our segments, see Note 20 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Innerwear The Innerwear segment focuses on core apparel essentials, and consists of products such as women’s intimate apparel, men’s underwear, kids’ underwear, socks, thermals and sleep- wear, marketed under well-known brands that are trusted by consumers. We are an intimate apparel category leader in the United States with our Hanes, Playtex, Bali, Just My Size, barely there and Wonderbra brands. We are also a leading manufacturer and marketer of men’s underwear and kids’ underwear under the Hanes and Champion brand names. We also produce underwear products under a licensing agreement with Polo Ralph Lauren. Our net sales for the year ended December 29, 2007 from our Innerwear segment were $2.6 billion, representing approximately 57% of total segment net sales. Outerwear We are a leader in the casualwear and activewear markets through our Hanes, Champion and Just My Size brands, where we offer products such as t-shirts and fleece. Our casualwear lines offer a range of quality, comfortable clothing for men, women and children marketed under the Hanes and Just My Size brands. The Just My Size brand offers casual apparel designed exclusively to meet the needs of plus-size women. In addition to activewear for men and women, Champion provides uniforms for athletic programs and includes an apparel program, C9 by Champion, at Target stores. We also license our Champion name for collegiate apparel and footwear. We also supply our t-shirts, sportshirts and fleece products primarily to wholesalers, who then resell to screen printers and embellish- ers through brands such as Hanes, Champion, and Outer Banks. These products are sold primarily under the Hanes, Hanes Beefy-T and Outer Banks brands. Our net sales for the year ended December 29, 2007 from our Outerwear segment were $1.2 billion, representing approximately 27% of total segment net sales. Hosiery We are the leading marketer of women’s sheer hosiery in the United States. We compete in the hosiery market by striving to offer superior values and executing integrated mar- keting activities, as well as focusing on the style of our hosiery products. We market hosiery products under our Hanes, L’eggs and Just My Size brands. Our net sales for the year ended December 29, 2007 from our Hosiery segment were $266 mil- lion, representing approximately 6% of total segment net sales. We expect the trend of declining hosiery sales to continue consistent with the overall decline in the industry (although the 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K decline has slowed in recent years) and with shifts in consumer preferences. International International includes products that span across the Inner- wear, Outerwear and Hosiery reportable segments and include products marketed under the Hanes, Champion, Wonderbra, Playtex, Rinbros, Bali and Stedman brands. Our net sales in this segment included sales in Latin America, Asia, Canada and Europe. Japan, Canada and Mexico are our largest international markets, and we also have sales offices in India and China. Our net sales for the year ended December 29, 2007 from our International segment were $422 million, representing approxi- mately 9% of total segment net sales. Other Our net sales in this segment are comprised of sales of nonfinished products such as fabric and certain other materials in the United States and Latin America in order to maintain asset utilization at certain manufacturing facilities. Our net sales for the year ended December 29, 2007 from our Other segment were $57 million, representing approximately 1% of total seg- ment net sales. Design, Research and Product Development At the core of our design, research and product develop- ment capabilities is a team of more than 300 professionals. We have combined our design, research and development teams into an integrated group for all of our product categories. A facility located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, is the center of our research, technical design and product development efforts. We also employ creative design and product develop- ment personnel in our design center in New York City. During the year ended December 29, 2007, the six months ended December 30, 2006 the year ended July 1, 2006 and the year ended July 2, 2005, we spent approximately $45 million, $23 mil- lion, $55 million and $51 million, respectively, on design, research and product development. Customers In the year ended December 29, 2007, approximately 90% of our net sales were to customers in the United States and approximately 10% were to customers outside the United States. Domestically, almost 85% of our net sales were whole- sale sales to retailers, 7% were wholesale sales to third-party embellishers and 8% were direct to consumers. We have well- established relationships with some of the largest apparel retailers in the world. Our largest customers are Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., or “Wal-Mart,” Target Corporation, or “Target” and Kohl’s Corporation, or “Kohl’s,” accounting for 27%, 14% and 6%, respectively, of our total sales in the year ended Decem- ber 29, 2007. As is common in the apparel essentials industry, we generally do not have purchase agreements that obligate our customers, including Wal-Mart, to purchase our products. However, all of our key customer relationships have been in place for ten years or more. Wal-Mart and Target are our only customers with sales that exceed 10% of any individual 5 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K segment’s sales. In our Innerwear segment, Wal-Mart accounted for 30% of sales and Target accounted for 11% of sales during the year ended December 29, 2007. In our Outerwear segment, Wal-Mart accounted for 24% of sales and Target accounted for 25% of sales during the year ended December 29, 2007. 24/7 retail environment, and we have an active database of approximately three million consumers receiving our catalogs and emails. Our web sites have experienced significant growth and we expect this trend to continue as more consumers embrace this retail shopping channel. Due to their size and operational scale, high-volume retailers such as Wal-Mart require extensive category and product knowledge and specialized services regarding the quantity, quality and timing of product orders. We have organized multi- functional customer management teams, which has allowed us to form strategic long-term relationships with these customers and efficiently focus resources on category, product and service expertise. Smaller regional customers attracted to our leading brands and quality products also represent an important component of our distribution. Our organizational model provides for an effi- cient use of resources that delivers a high level of category and channel expertise and services to these customers. Sales to the mass merchant channel accounted for approx- imately 46% of our net sales in the year ended December 29, 2007. We sell all of our product categories in this channel primarily under our Hanes, Just My Size, Playtex and C9 by Champion brands. Mass merchants feature high-volume, low- cost sales of basic apparel items along with a diverse variety of consumer goods products, such as grocery and drug products and other hard lines, and are characterized by large retailers, such as Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart, which accounted for approximately 27% of our net sales during the year ended December 29, 2007, is our largest mass merchant customer. Sales to the national chains and department stores channel accounted for approximately 19% of our net sales during the year ended December 29, 2007. These retailers target a higher- income consumer than mass merchants, focus more of their sales on apparel items rather than other consumer goods such as grocery and drug products, and are characterized by large retailers such as Kohl’s, JC Penney Company, Inc. and Sears Holdings Corporation. We sell all of our product categories in this channel. Traditional department stores target higher-income consumers and carry more high-end, fashion conscious products than national chains or mass merchants and tend to operate in higher-income areas and commercial centers. Traditional depart- ment stores are characterized by large retailers such as Macy’s and Dillard’s, Inc. We sell products in our intimate apparel, hosiery and underwear categories through these department stores. Sales to the direct to consumer channel accounted for approximately 8% of our net sales in the year ended December 29, 2007. We sell our branded products directly to consumers through our approximately 216 outlet stores, as well as our catalogs and our web sites operating under the Hanes, OneHanesPlace, Outer Banks, Just My Size and Champion names. Our outlet stores are value-based, offering the con- sumer a savings of 25% to 40% off suggested retail prices, and sell first-quality, excess, post-season, obsolete and slightly imperfect products. Our catalogs and web sites address the growing direct to consumer channel that operates in today’s 6 Sales in our International segment represented approxi- mately 9% of our net sales during the year ended December 29, 2007, and included sales in Latin America, Asia, Canada and Europe. Japan, Canada and Mexico are our largest international markets, and we also have sales offices in India and China. We operate in several locations in Latin America including Mexico, Puerto Rico, Argentina, Brazil and Central America. From an export business perspective, we use distributors to service customers in the Middle East and Asia, and have a limited presence in Latin America. The brands that are the primary focus of the export business include Hanes underwear and Bali, Playtex, Wonderbra and barely there intimate apparel. As dis- cussed below, we are not permitted to sell Wonderbra and Playtex branded products in the member states of the EU, several other European countries, and South Africa. Sales in other channels represented approximately 18% of our net sales during the year ended December 29, 2007. We sell t-shirts, golf and sport shirts and fleece sweatshirts to third- party embellishers primarily under our Hanes, Hanes Beefy-T and Outer Banks brands. Sales to third-party embellishers accounted for approximately 7% of our net sales during the year ended December 29, 2007. We also sell a significant range of our underwear, activewear and sock products under the Champion brand to wholesale clubs, such as Costco, and sporting goods stores, such as The Sports Authority, Inc. We sell primarily legwear and underwear products under the Hanes and L’eggs brands to food, drug and variety stores. We sell our branded apparel essentials products to the U.S. military for sale to servicemen and servicewomen. Inventory Effective inventory management is a key component of our future success. Because our customers do not purchase our products under long-term supply contracts, but rather on a purchase order basis, effective inventory management requires close coordination with the customer base. We employ various types of inventory management techniques that include collabora- tive forecasting and planning, vendor-managed inventory, key event management and various forms of replenishment manage- ment processes. We have demand management planners in our customer management group who work closely with customers to develop demand forecasts that are passed to the supply chain. We also have professionals within the customer management group who coordinate daily with our larger customers to help ensure that our customers’ planned inventory levels are in fact available at their individual retail outlets. Additionally, within our supply chain organization we have dedicated professionals that translate the demand forecast into our inventory strategy and specific production plans. These individuals work closely with our customer management team to balance inventory investment/ exposure with customer service targets. H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K Seasonality and Other Factors Our operating results are subject to some variability. Gener- ally, our diverse range of product offerings helps mitigate the impact of seasonal changes in demand for certain items. Sales are typically higher in the last two quarters (July to December) of each fiscal year. Socks, hosiery and fleece products generally have higher sales during this period as a result of cooler weather, back-to-school shopping and holidays. Sales levels in a period are also impacted by customers’ decisions to increase or decrease their inventory levels in response to anticipated con- sumer demand. Our customers may cancel orders, change delivery schedules or change the mix of products ordered with minimal notice to us. Our results of operations are also impacted by fluctuations and volatility in the price of cotton and the timing of actual spending for our media, advertising and promotion expenses. Media, advertising and promotion expenses may vary from period to period during a year depend- ing on the timing of our advertising campaigns for retail selling seasons and product introductions. Our costs for cotton yarn and cotton-based textiles vary based upon the fluctuating cost of cotton, which is affected by weather, consumer demand, speculation on the commodities market, the relative valuations and fluctuations of the currencies of producer versus consumer countries and other factors that are generally unpredictable and beyond our control. While we do enter into short-term supply agreements and hedges in an attempt to protect our business from the volatility of the market price of cotton, our business can be affected by dramatic movements in cotton prices. Marketing Our strategy is to bring consumer-driven innovation to market in a compelling way. Our approach is to build targeted, effective multimedia advertising and marketing campaigns to increase awareness of our key brands. Driving growth platforms across categories is a major element of our strategy as it enables us to meet key consumer needs and leverage advertis- ing dollars. We believe that the strength of our consumer insights, our distinctive brand propositions and our focus on integrated marketing give us a competitive advantage in the fragmented apparel marketplace. In 2007, we launched a number of new advertising and marketing initiatives: m We featured Jennifer Love Hewitt in a new television, print and online advertising campaign that began in March 2007 in support of the launch of the Hanes All-Over Comfort Bra with ComfortSoft straps. The campaign includes new televi- sion, print and online ads. m We launched our latest “Look Who” advertising campaign featuring Cuba Gooding Jr. and Michael Jordan in July 2007, in support of the new Hanes ComfortSoft Collection for Men, which includes the Hanes ComfortSoft undershirt and ComfortSoft underwear. m Also in July 2007, we launched The Hanes ComfortZone Tour, a mobile marketing initiative focused on making men comfortable using a mixture of interactive elements to expose them to the Hanes ComfortSoft undershirts and underwear. The tour featured a team of brand ambassadors using an array of interactive games and giveaways to help men experience ComfortSoft product innovation first hand. m In November 2007, we launched the first campaign for our Champion brand since 2003, a national advertising campaign featuring a new tagline, “How You Play.” The campaign which includes print, out-of-home and online components, is designed to capture the everyday moments of fun and sport in a series of cool and hip lifestyle images. m In the Spring of 2007, we launched a new “Live Beautifully” campaign for our Bali brand. The print, television and online ad campaign features Bali bras and panties from its Passion for Comfort, Seductive Curve and Cotton Creations lines. m We launched an innovative and expressive advertising and marketing campaign called “Girl Talk” in September 2007 in which confident, everyday women talk about their breasts, in support of our Playtex 18 Hour and Playtex Secrets product lines. In October 2007, we announced a 10-year strategic alliance with The Walt Disney Company. Key features of the alliance include: m Hanes will be the presenting sponsor of the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith, one of the most popular attrac- tions at Disney-MGM Studios in Florida. m Hanes will have a customizable apparel venue in Downtown Disney at Walt Disney World Resort that will enable guests to design and personalize their own custom T-shirts and other items. m Champion will have naming rights for the stadium at Disney’s Wide World of Sports Complex, the nation’s pre- mier amateur sports venue. In addition to Champion Sta- dium, there will be brand placement and promotional opportunities throughout the complex. m We will have in-store promotional and brand building oppor- tunities at eight ESPN Zone restaurants and stores located across the country. m Hanes and Champion will have category exclusivity for select apparel at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, Calif., Walt Disney World Resort and Disney’s Wide World of Sports Complex Stadium, both in Florida, and all eight ESPN Zone stores. m Our products, including T-shirts and tanks and fleece sweat- shirts, sweatpants, hoodies and other family fleece, includ- ing infant and toddler items, will be co-labeled, including Disneyland Resort by Hanes, Walt Disney World by Hanes, Disney’s Wide World of Sports Complex by Champion and ESPN Zone by Champion. 7 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . Distribution We distribute our products for the U.S. market primarily from U.S.-based company-owned and company-operated distri- bution centers. As of December 29, 2007, we distributed products for the U.S. market from 26 distribution centers, 19 of which were company-owned or company-operated. International distribution operations use a combination of third-party logistics providers, as well as owned and operated distribution opera- tions, to distribute goods to our various international markets. We are currently in the process of consolidating several of our distribution centers, and have reduced the number of distribu- tion centers from the 48 that we maintained at the time of the spin off to 41, of which 26 are company-owned or company- operated. In this process, we approved actions to close three distribution centers during the year ended December 29, 2007. Manufacturing and Sourcing During the year ended December 29, 2007, approximately 79% of our finished goods sold in the United States were manufactured through a combination of facilities we own and operate and facilities owned and operated by third-party contrac- tors who perform some of the steps in the manufacturing process for us, such as cutting and/or sewing. We sourced the remainder of our finished goods from third-party manufacturers who supply us with finished products based on our designs. We believe that our balanced approach to product supply, which relies on a combination of owned, contracted and sourced manufacturing located across different geographic regions, increases the efficiency of our operations, reduces product costs and offers customers a reliable source of supply. Finished Goods That Are Manufactured by Hanesbrands The manufacturing process for finished goods that we manufacture begins with raw materials we obtain from third parties. The principal raw materials in our product categories are cotton and synthetics. Our costs for cotton yarn and cotton- based textiles vary based upon the fluctuating and often volatile cost of cotton, which is affected by, among other factors, weather, consumer demand, speculation on the commodities market and the relative valuations and fluctuations of the currencies of producer versus consumer countries. We attempt to mitigate the effect of fluctuating raw material costs by entering into short-term supply agreements that set the price we will pay for cotton yarn and cotton-based textiles in future periods. We also enter into hedging contracts on cotton designed to protect us from severe market fluctuations in the wholesale prices of cotton. In addition to cotton yarn and cotton-based textiles, we use thread and trim for product identification, buttons, zippers, snaps and lace. Fluctuations in crude oil or petroleum prices may also influence the prices of items used in our business, such as chemicals, dyestuffs, polyester yarn and foam. Alternate sources of these materials and services are readily available. After they are sourced, cotton and synthetic materials are spun into yarn, which is then knitted into cotton, synthetic and blended fabrics. We spin a significant portion of the yarn and knit a significant portion of the fabrics we use in our owned and 8 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K operated facilities. To a lesser extent, we purchase fabric from several domestic and international suppliers in conjunction with scheduled production. These fabrics are cut and sewn into finished products, either by us or by third-party contractors. Most of our cutting and sewing operations are located in Central America and the Caribbean Basin. Rising fuel, energy and utility costs may have a significant impact on our manufacturing costs. These costs may fluctuate due to a number of factors outside our control, including government policy and regulation and weather conditions. We continue to consolidate our manufacturing facilities, and currently operate 62 manufacturing facilities, down from 70 at the time of our spin off. In making decisions about the location of manufacturing operations and third-party sources of supply, we consider a number of factors, including local labor costs, quality of production, applicable quotas and duties, and freight costs. Over the past ten years, we have engaged in a substan- tial asset relocation strategy designed to eliminate or relocate portions of our U.S.-based manufacturing operations to lower- cost locations in Central America, the Caribbean Basin and Asia. For example, during the third quarter of 2007, we acquired the 1,300-employee textile manufacturing operations in San Juan Opico, El Salvador of Industrias Duraflex, S.A. de C.V., at which textiles are knit, dyed, finished and cut. These operations had been a supplier to us since the early 1990s. This acquisition provides a textile base in Central America from which to expand and leverage our large scale as well as supply our sewing network throughout Central America. Also, we announced plans in October 2007 to build a textile production plant in Nanjing, China, which will be the first company-owned textile production facility in Asia. The Nanjing textile facility will enable us to expand and leverage our production scale in Asia as we balance our supply chain across hemispheres. In December 2007, we acquired the 900-employee sheer hosiery facility in Las Lourdes, El Salvador of Inversiones Bonaventure, S.A. de C.V. For the past 12 years, these operations had been a primary contract sewing operation for Hanes and L’eggs hosiery products. The acquisition streamlines a critical part of our overall hosiery supply chain and is part of our strategy to operate larger, company-owned production facilities. During the year ended December 29, 2007, in furtherance of our efforts to execute our consolidation and globalization strategy, we approved actions to close 17 manufacturing facili- ties and three distribution centers in the Dominican Republic, Mexico, the United States, Brazil and Canada while moving production to lower-cost operations in Central America and Asia. In addition, we completed previously announced actions during 2007. We also have recognized accelerated depreciation with respect to owned or leased assets associated with 17 manufac- turing facilities and five distribution centers which we anticipate closing in the next three to five years as part of our consolida- tion and globalization strategy. The implementation of these efforts, which are designed to improve operating efficiencies and lower costs, has resulted and is likely to continue to result in significant costs and savings. As further plans are developed and approved by management and in some cases our board of H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K directors, we expect to recognize additional restructuring costs to eliminate duplicative functions within the organization and transition a significant portion of our manufacturing capacity to lower-cost locations. As a result of these efforts, we expect to incur approximately $250 million in restructuring and related charges over the three year period following the spin off from Sara Lee, approximately half of which is expected to be noncash. As of December 29, 2007, we have recognized approximately $116 million in restructuring and related charges related to these efforts. Of these charges, $43 million relates to employee termination and other benefits, $61 million relates to accelerated depreciation of buildings and equipment for facilities that have been or will be closed and $12 million relates to lease termination costs. Finished Goods That Are Manufactured by Third Parties In addition to our manufacturing capabilities, we also source finished goods designed by us from third-party manufacturers, also referred to as “turnkey products.” Many of these turnkey products are sourced from international suppliers by our strate- gic sourcing hubs in Hong Kong and other locations in Asia. All contracted and sourced manufacturing must meet our high quality standards. Further, all contractors and third-party manufacturers must be preaudited and adhere to our strict supplier and business practices guidelines. These requirements provide strict standards covering hours of work, age of workers, health and safety conditions and conformity with local laws. Each new supplier must be inspected and agree to comprehen- sive compliance terms prior to performance of any production on our behalf. We audit compliance with these standards and maintain strict compliance performance records. In addition to our audit procedures, we require certain of our suppliers to be Worldwide Responsible Apparel Production, or “WRAP,” certi- fied. WRAP is a recognized apparel certification program that independently monitors and certifies compliance with certain specified manufacturing standards that are intended to ensure that a given factory produces sewn goods under lawful, humane, and ethical conditions. WRAP uses third-party, inde- pendent certification firms and requires factory-by-factory certification. Trade Regulation We are exposed to certain risks of doing business outside of the United States. We import goods from company-owned facilities in Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean Basin, and from suppliers in those areas and in Asia, Europe, Africa and the Middle East. These import transactions had been subject to constraints imposed by bilateral agreements that imposed quotas that limited the amount of certain categories of merchandise from certain countries that could be imported into the United States and the EU. Pursuant to a 1995 Agreement on Textiles and Clothing under the World Trade Organization, or “WTO,” effective Janu- ary 1, 2005, the United States and other WTO member countries were required, with few exceptions, to remove quotas on goods from WTO member countries. The complete removal of quotas would benefit us, as well as other apparel companies, by allowing us to source products without quantitative limitation from any country. Several countries, including the United States, have imposed safeguard quotas on China pursuant to the terms of China’s Accession Agreement to the WTO, and others may impose similar restrictions in the future. Our management evaluates the possible impact of these and similar actions on our ability to import products from China. We do not expect the imposition of these safeguards to have a material impact on us. Our management monitors new developments and risks relating to duties, tariffs and quotas. Changes in these areas have the potential to harm or, in some cases, benefit our business. In response to the changing import environment resulting from the elimination of quotas, management has chosen to continue its balanced approach to manufacturing and sourcing. We attempt to limit our sourcing exposure through geographic diversification with a mix of company-owned and contracted production, as well as shifts of production among countries and contractors. We will continue to manage our supply chain from a global perspective and adjust as needed to changes in the global production environment. We also monitor a number of international security risks. We are a member of the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism, or “C-TPAT,” a partnership between the government and private sector initiated after the events of September 11, 2001 to improve supply chain and border security. C-TPAT partners work with U.S. Customs and Border Protection to protect their supply chains from concealment of terrorist weap- ons, including weapons of mass destruction. In exchange, U.S. Customs and Border Protection provides reduced inspec- tions at the port of arrival and expedited processing at the border. Competition The apparel essentials market is highly competitive and rapidly evolving. Competition generally is based upon price, brand name recognition, product quality, selection, service and purchasing convenience. Our businesses face competition today from other large corporations and foreign manufacturers. These competitors include Berkshire Hathaway Inc. through its subsid- iary Fruit of the Loom, Inc., Warnaco Group Inc., Maidenform Brands, Inc. and Gildan Activewear, Inc. in our Innerwear business segment and Gildan Activewear, Inc., Berkshire Hath- away Inc. through its subsidiaries Russell Corporation and Fruit of the Loom, Inc., Nike, Inc., adidas AG through its adidas and Reebok brands and Under Armour Inc. in our Outerwear business segment. We also compete with many small manufac- turers across all of our business segments. Additionally, depart- ment stores and other retailers, including many of our customers, market and sell apparel essentials products under private labels that compete directly with our brands. We also face intense competition from specialty stores who sell private label apparel not manufactured by us such as Victoria’s Secret, Old Navy and The Gap. Our competitive strengths include our strong brands with leading market positions, our high-volume, core essentials 9 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K focus, our significant scale of operations and our strong cus- tomer relationships. m Strong Brands with Leading Market Positions. According to NPD, our brands hold either the number one or number two U.S. market position by sales in most product categories in which we compete, on a rolling year-end basis as of December 31, 2007. According to NPD, our largest brand, Hanes, is the top-selling apparel brand in the United States by units sold, on a rolling year-end basis as of December 31, 2007. m High-Volume, Core Essentials Focus. We sell high-volume, frequently replenished apparel essentials. The majority of our core styles continue from year to year, with variations only in color, fabric or design details, and are frequently replenished by consumers. We believe that our status as a high-volume seller of core apparel essentials creates a more stable and predictable revenue base and reduces our expo- sure to dramatic fashion shifts often observed in the general apparel industry. m Significant Scale of Operations. According to NPD, we are the largest seller of apparel essentials in the United States as measured by sales on a rolling year-end basis as of December 31, 2007. Most of our products are sold to large retailers that have high-volume demands. We believe that we are able to leverage our significant scale of operations to provide us with greater manufacturing efficiencies, purchas- ing power and product design, marketing and customer management resources than our smaller competitors. m Strong Customer Relationships. We sell our products primarily through large, high-volume retailers, including mass merchants, department stores and national chains. We have strong, long-term relationships with our top customers, including relationships of more than ten years with each of our top ten customers. We have aligned significant parts of our organization with corresponding parts of our customers’ organizations. We also have entered into customer-specific programs such as the C9 by Champion products marketed and sold through Target stores. Intellectual Property Overview We market our products under hundreds of trademarks, service marks and trade names in the United States and other countries around the world, the most widely recognized being Hanes, Champion, Playtex, Bali, Just My Size, barely there, Wonderbra, C9 by Champion, L’eggs, Outer Banks and Duofold. Some of our products are sold under trademarks that have been licensed from third parties, such as Polo Ralph Lauren men’s underwear, and we also hold licenses from various toy and media companies that give us the right to use certain of their proprietary characters, names and trademarks. Some of our own trademarks are licensed to third parties for noncore product categories, such as Champion for athletic- oriented accessories. In the United States, the Playtex trade- mark is owned by Playtex Marketing Corporation, of which we 10 own a 50% share and which grants to us a perpetual royalty- free license to the Playtex trademark on and in connection with the sale of apparel in the United States and Canada. The other 50% share of Playtex Marketing Corporation is owned by Playtex Products, Inc., an unrelated third-party, which has a perpetual royalty-free license to the Playtex trademark on and in connection with the sale of non-apparel products in the United States. Outside the United States and Canada, we own the Playtex trademark and perpetually license such trademark to Playtex Products, Inc. for non-apparel products. In addition, as described below, as part of Sara Lee’s sale in February 2006 of its European branded apparel business, an affiliate of Sun Capital Partners, Inc., or “Sun Capital,” has an exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free license to manufacture, sell and distribute apparel products under the Wonderbra and Playtex trademarks in the member states of the EU, as well as several other European nations and South Africa. We also own a number of copyrights. Our trademarks and copyrights are important to our marketing efforts and have substantial value. We aggressively protect these trademarks and copyrights from infringement and dilution through appropriate measures, including court actions and administrative proceedings. Although the laws vary by jurisdiction, trademarks generally remain valid as long as they are in use and/or their registrations are properly maintained. Most of the trademarks in our portfolio, including our core brands, are covered by trademark registra- tions in the countries of the world in which we do business, with registration periods ranging between seven and 20 years depending on the country. Trademark registrations can be renewed indefinitely as long as the trademarks are in use. We have an active program designed to ensure that our trademarks are registered, renewed, protected and maintained. We plan to continue to use all of our core trademarks and plan to renew the registrations for such trademarks for as long as we continue to use them. Most of our copyrights are unregis- tered, although we have a sizable portfolio of copyrighted lace designs that are the subject of a number of registrations at the U.S. Copyright Office. We place high importance on product innovation and design, and a number of these innovations and designs are the subject of patents. However, we do not regard any segment of our business as being dependent upon any single patent or group of related patents. In addition, we own proprietary trade secrets, technology, and know how that we have not patented. Shared Trademark Relationship with Sun Capital In February 2006, Sara Lee sold its European branded apparel business to an affiliate of Sun Capital. In connection with the sale, Sun Capital received an exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free license to manufacture, sell and distribute apparel products under the Wonderbra and Playtex trademarks in the member states of the EU, as well as Belarus, Bosnia-Herzegov- ina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Macedonia, Moldova, Morocco, Norway, Romania, Russia, Serbia-Montenegro, South Africa, Switzerland, Ukraine, Andorra, Albania, Channel Islands, Lichtenstein, Monaco, Gibraltar, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Reunion and French Guyana, which we refer to as the “Covered Nations.” We are H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K not permitted to sell Wonderbra and Playtex branded products in the Covered Nations, and Sun Capital is not permitted to sell Wonderbra and Playtex branded products outside of the Cov- ered Nations without our consent. In connection with the sale, we also have received an exclusive, perpetual royalty-free license to sell DIM and UNNO branded products in Panama, Honduras, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Belize, Guate- mala, Mexico, Puerto Rico, the United States, Canada and, for DIM products, Japan. We are not permitted to sell DIM or UNNO branded apparel products outside of these countries and Sun Capital is not permitted to sell DIM or UNNO branded apparel products inside these countries. In addition, the rights to certain European-originated brands previously part of Sara Lee’s branded apparel portfolio were transferred to Sun Capital and are not included in our brand portfolio. Licensing Relationship with Tupperware Corporation In December 2005, Sara Lee sold its direct selling business, which markets cosmetics, skin care products, toiletries and clothing in 18 countries, to Tupperware Corporation, or “Tupperware.” In connection with the sale, Dart Industries Inc., or “Dart,” an affiliate of Tupperware, received a three-year exclusive license agreement to use the C Logo, Champion U.S.A., Wonderbra, W by Wonderbra, The One and Only Wonderbra, Playtex, Just My Size and Hanes trademarks for the manufacture and sale, under the applicable brands, of certain men’s and women’s apparel in the Philippines, including underwear, socks, sportswear products, bras, panties and gir- dles, and for the exhaustion of similar product inventory in Malaysia. Dart also received a ten-year, royalty-free, exclusive license to use the Girls’ Attitudes trademark for the manufac- ture and sale of certain toiletries, cosmetics, intimate apparel, underwear, sports wear, watches, bags and towels in the Philippines. The rights and obligations under these agreements were assigned to us as part of the spin off. In connection with the sale of Sara Lee’s direct selling business, Tupperware also signed two five-year distributorship agreements providing Tupperware with the right, which is exclusive for the first three years of the agreements, to distrib- ute and sell, through door-to-door and similar channels, Playtex, Champion, Rinbros, Aire, Wonderbra, Hanes and Teens by Hanes apparel items in Mexico that we have discontinued and/or determined to be obsolete. The agreements also provide Tupperware with the exclusive right for five years to distribute and sell through such channels such apparel items sold by us in the ordinary course of business. The agreements also grant a limited right to use such trademarks solely in connection with the distribution and sale of those products in Mexico. Under the terms of the agreements, we reserve the right to apply for, prosecute and maintain trademark registrations in Mexico for those products covered by the distributorship agree- ment. The rights and obligations under these agreements were assigned to us as part of the spin off. Environmental Matters We are subject to various federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations that govern our activities, operations and products that may have adverse environmental, health and safety effects, including laws and regulations relating to gener- ating emissions, water discharges, waste, product and packag- ing content and workplace safety. Noncompliance with these laws and regulations may result in substantial monetary penal- ties and criminal sanctions. We are aware of hazardous sub- stances or petroleum releases at a few of our facilities and are working with the relevant environmental authorities to investi- gate and address such releases. We also have been identified as a “potentially responsible party” at a few waste disposal sites undergoing investigation and cleanup under the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (commonly known as Superfund) or state Superfund equivalent programs. Where we have determined that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can reasonably be estimated, we have accrued amounts in our balance sheet for losses related to these sites. Compliance with environmental laws and regulations and our remedial environmental obligations historically have not had a material impact on our operations, and we are not aware of any proposed regulations or remedial obligations that could trigger significant costs or capital expendi- tures in order to comply. Government Regulation We are subject to U.S. federal, state and local laws and regulations that could affect our business, including those promulgated under the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the Consumer Product Safety Act, the Flammable Fabrics Act, the Textile Fiber Product Identification Act, the rules and regulations of the Consumer Products Safety Commission and various environmental laws and regulations. Our international busi- nesses are subject to similar laws and regulations in the countries in which they operate. Our operations also are subject to various international trade agreements and regulations. See “—Trade Regulation.” While we believe that we are in compli- ance in all material respects with all applicable governmental regulations, current governmental regulations may change or become more stringent or unforeseen events may occur, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations. Employees As of December 29, 2007, we had approximately 47,600 employees, approximately 11,500 of whom were located in the United States. Of the 11,500 employees located in the United States, approximately 2,200 were full or part-time employees in our stores within our direct to consumer channel. As of December 29, 2007, in the United States, approximately 30 employees were covered by collective bargaining agree- ments. A portion of our international employees were also covered by collective bargaining agreements. We believe our relationships with our employees are good. 11 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . ITEM 1A. Risk Factors This section describes circumstances or events that could have a negative effect on our financial results or operations or that could change, for the worse, existing trends in our busi- nesses. The occurrence of one or more of the circumstances or events described below could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows or on the trading prices of our common stock. The risks and uncertainties described in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties that currently are not known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial also may adversely affect our businesses and operations. Risks Related to Our Business We are in the process of relocating a significant portion of our manufacturing operations and this process involves significant costs and the risk of operational interruption. In furtherance of our efforts to execute our consolidation and globalization strategy, we are relocating portions of our manufacturing operations to lower-cost locations such as Cen- tral America, the Caribbean Basin and Asia. The process of relocating significant portions of our manufacturing and produc- tion operations has resulted in and will continue to result in significant costs and savings. As further plans are developed and approved by management and in some cases our board of directors, we expect to recognize additional restructuring costs to eliminate duplicative functions within the organization and transition a significant portion of our manufacturing capacity to lower-cost locations. As a result of these efforts, we expect to incur approximately $250 million in restructuring and related charges over the three year period following the spin off from Sara Lee, approximately half of which is expected to be noncash. This process also may result in operational interrup- tions, which may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Our supply chain relies on an extensive network of foreign operations and any disruption to or adverse impact on such operations may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. We have an extensive global supply chain in which a significant portion of our products are manufactured in or sourced from locations in Central America, the Caribbean Basin, Mexico and Asia. Potential events that may disrupt our foreign operations include: m political instability and acts of war or terrorism or other international events resulting in the disruption of trade; m other security risks; m disruptions in shipping and freight forwarding services; m increases in oil prices, which would increase the cost of shipping; m interruptions in the availability of basic services and infra- structure, including power shortages; 12 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K m fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates resulting in uncertainty as to future asset and liability values, cost of goods and results of operations that are denominated in foreign currencies; m extraordinary weather conditions or natural disasters, such as hurricanes, earthquakes or tsunamis; and m the occurrence of an epidemic, the spread of which may impact our ability to obtain products on a timely basis. Disruptions in our foreign supply chain could negatively impact our business by interrupting production in offshore facilities, increasing our cost of sales, disrupting merchandise deliveries, delaying receipt of the products into the United States or preventing us from sourcing our products at all. Depending on timing, these events could also result in lost sales, cancellation charges or excessive markdowns. All of the foregoing can have an adverse affect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. The integration of our information technology systems is complex, and delays or problems with this integration may cause serious disruption or harm to our business. As we continue to consolidate our operations, we are in the process of integrating currently unrelated information technol- ogy systems across our company, which has resulted in opera- tional inefficiencies and in some cases increased our costs. This process involves the replacement of eight independent systems environments running on different technology platforms so that our business functions are served by fewer platforms. We are subject to the risk that we will not be able to absorb the level of systems change, commit the necessary resources or focus the management attention necessary for the implementation to succeed. Many key strategic initiatives of major business func- tions, such as our supply chain and our finance operations, depend on advanced capabilities enabled by the new systems and if we fail to properly execute or if we miss critical deadlines in the implementation of this initiative, we could experience serious disruption and harm to our business. We operate in a highly competitive and rapidly evolving market, and our market share and results of operations could be adversely affected if we fail to compete effectively in the future. The apparel essentials market is highly competitive and evolving rapidly. Competition is generally based upon price, brand name recognition, product quality, selection, service and purchasing convenience. Our businesses face competition today from other large corporations and foreign manufacturers. These competitors include Berskhire Hathaway Inc. through its subsid- iary Fruit of the Loom, Inc., Warnaco Group Inc., Maidenform Brands, Inc. and Gildan Activewear, Inc. in our Innerwear business segment and Gildan Activewear, Inc., Berkshire Hath- away Inc. through its subsidiaries Russell Corporation and Fruit of the Loom, Inc., Nike, Inc., adidas AG through its adidas and Reebok brands and Under Armour Inc. in our Outerwear business segment. We also compete with many small compa- nies across all of our business segments. Additionally, H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K department stores and other retailers, including many of our customers, market and sell apparel essentials products under private labels that compete directly with our brands. These customers may buy goods that are manufactured by others, which represents a lost business opportunity for us, or they may sell private label products manufactured by us, which have significantly lower gross margins than our branded products. We also face intense competition from specialty stores that sell private label apparel not manufactured by us, such as Victoria’s Secret, Old Navy and The Gap. Increased competition may result in a loss of or a reduction in shelf space and promotional support and reduced prices, in each case decreasing our cash flows, operating margins and profitability. Our ability to remain competitive in the areas of price, quality, brand recognition, research and product development, manufacturing and distribu- tion will, in large part, determine our future success. If we fail to compete successfully, our market share, results of operations and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected. If we fail to manage our inventory effectively, we may be required to establish additional inventory reserves or we may not carry enough inventory to meet customer demands, causing us to suffer lower margins or losses. We are faced with the constant challenge of balancing our inventory with our ability to meet marketplace needs. Inventory reserves can result from the complexity of our supply chain, a long manufacturing process and the seasonal nature of certain products. As a result, we are subject to high levels of obsoles- cence and excess stock. Based on discussions with our cus- tomers and internally generated projections, we produce, purchase and/or store raw material and finished goods inventory to meet our expected demand for delivery. However, we sell a large number of our products to a small number of customers, and these customers generally are not required by contract to purchase our goods. If, after producing and storing inventory in anticipation of deliveries, demand is lower than expected, we may have to hold inventory for extended periods or sell excess inventory at reduced prices, in some cases below our cost. There are inherent uncertainties related to the recoverability of inventory, and it is possible that market factors and other conditions underlying the valuation of inventory may change in the future and result in further reserve requirements. Excess inventory charges can reduce gross margins or result in operat- ing losses, lowered plant and equipment utilization and lowered fixed operating cost absorption, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. Conversely, we also are exposed to lost business opportuni- ties if we underestimate market demand and produce too little inventory for any particular period. Because sales of our prod- ucts are generally not made under contract, if we do not carry enough inventory to satisfy our customers’ demands for our products within an acceptable time frame, they may seek to fulfill their demands from one or several of our competitors and may reduce the amount of business they do with us. Any such action could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Sales of and demand for our products may decrease if we fail to keep pace with evolving consumer preferences and trends, which could have an adverse effect on net sales and profitability. Our success depends on our ability to anticipate and respond effectively to evolving consumer preferences and trends and to translate these preferences and trends into marketable product offerings. If we are unable to successfully anticipate, identify or react to changing styles or trends or misjudge the market for our products, our sales may be lower than expected and we may be faced with a significant amount of unsold finished goods inventory. In response, we may be forced to increase our marketing promotions, provide markdown allowances to our customers or liquidate excess merchandise, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our net sales and profitability. Our brand image may also suffer if customers believe that we are no longer able to offer innovative products, respond to consumer preferences or maintain the quality of our products. We rely on a relatively small number of customers for a significant portion of our sales, and the loss of or material reduction in sales to any of our top customers would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of opera- tions, financial condition and cash flows. During the year ended December 29, 2007, our top ten customers accounted for 62% of our net sales and our top customer, Wal-Mart, accounted for 27% of our net sales. We expect that these customers will continue to represent a significant portion of our net sales in the future. In addition, our top customers are the largest market participants in our primary distribution channels across all of our product lines. Any loss of or material reduction in sales to any of our top ten customers, especially Wal-Mart, would be difficult to recapture, and would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. We generally do not sell our products under contracts, and, as a result, our customers are generally not contractually obligated to purchase our products, which causes some uncertainty as to future sales and inventory levels. We generally do not enter into purchase agreements that obligate our customers to purchase our products, and as a result, most of our sales are made on a purchase order basis. For example, we have no agreements with Wal-Mart that obligate Wal-Mart to purchase our products. If any of our customers experiences a significant downturn in its business, or fails to remain committed to our products or brands, the customer is generally under no contractual obligation to pur- chase our products and, consequently, may reduce or discon- tinue purchases from us. In the past, such actions have resulted in a decrease in sales and an increase in our inventory and have had an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. If such actions occur again in the future, our business, results of operations and financial condition will likely be similarly affected. 13 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K Continued growth of our existing customers could result in increased pricing pressure, reduced floor space for our products and other changes that could be harmful to our business. The retailers to which we sell our products have grown larger, partly due to retailer consolidation, and, as such, now are able to exercise greater negotiating power when purchasing our products. Additionally, as our customers grow larger, they increasingly may require us to provide them with some of our products on an exclusive basis, which could cause an increase in the number of stock keeping units, or “SKUs,” we must carry and, consequently, increase our inventory levels and working capital requirements. Moreover, as our customers grow larger they may increasingly seek markdown allowances, incen- tives and other forms of economic support which reduce our gross margins and affect our profitability. Our financial perfor- mance is negatively affected by these pricing pressures when we are forced to reduce our prices without being able to correspondingly reduce our production costs. Our customers generally purchase our products on credit, and as a result, our results of operations, financial condi- tion and cash flows may be adversely affected if our cus- tomers experience financial difficulties. During the past several years, various retailers, including some of our largest customers, have experienced significant difficulties, including restructurings, bankruptcies and liquida- tions. This could adversely affect us because our customers generally pay us after goods are delivered. Adverse changes in our customers’ financial position could cause us to limit or discontinue business with that customer, require us to assume more credit risk relating to that customer’s future purchases or limit our ability to collect accounts receivable relating to previous purchases by that customer, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. International trade regulations may increase our costs or limit the amount of products that we can import from sup- pliers in a particular country, which could have an adverse effect on our business. Because a significant amount of our manufacturing and production operations are in or our products are sourced from, overseas locations, we are subject to international trade regula- tions. The international trade regulations to which we are subject or may become subject include tariffs, safeguards or quotas. These regulations could limit the countries from which we produce or source our products or significantly increase the cost of operating in or obtaining materials originating from certain countries. Restrictions imposed by international trade regulations can have a particular impact on our business when, after we have moved our operations to a particular location, new unfavorable regulations are enacted in that area or favor- able regulations currently in effect are changed. The countries in which our products are manufactured or into which they are 14 imported may from time to time impose additional new regula- tions, or modify existing regulations, including: m additional duties, taxes, tariffs and other charges on imports, including retaliatory duties or other trade sanctions, which may or may not be based on WTO rules, and which would increase the cost of products purchased from suppliers in such countries; m quantitative limits that may limit the quantity of goods which may be imported into the United States from a particular country, including the imposition of further “safeguard” mechanisms by the U.S. government or governments in other jurisdictions, limiting our ability to import goods from particular countries, such as China; m changes in the classification of products that could result in higher duty rates than we have historically paid; m modification of the trading status of certain countries; m requirements as to where products are manufactured; m creation of export licensing requirements, imposition of restrictions on export quantities or specification of minimum export pricing; or m creation of other restrictions on imports. Adverse international trade regulations, including those listed above, would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Significant fluctuations and volatility in the price of cotton and other raw materials we purchase may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, finan- cial condition and cash flows. Cotton is the primary raw material used in the manufacture of many of our products. Our costs for cotton yarn and cotton- based textiles vary based upon the fluctuating and often volatile cost of cotton, which is affected by weather, consumer demand, speculation on the commodities market, the relative valuations and fluctuations of the currencies of producer versus consumer countries and other factors that are generally unpre- dictable and beyond our control. In addition, fluctuations in crude oil or petroleum prices may also influence the prices of related items used in our business, such as chemicals, dye- stuffs, polyester yarn and foam. Rising fuel, energy and utility costs may have a significant impact on our manufacturing costs. These costs may fluctuate due to a number of factors outside our control, including government policy and regulation and weather conditions. We are not always successful in our efforts to protect our business from the volatility of the market price of cotton through short-term supply agreements and hedges, and our business can be adversely affected by dramatic movements in cotton prices. For example, we estimate that, excluding the impact of futures contracts, a change of $0.01 per pound in cotton prices would affect our annual raw material costs by $3.3 million, at current levels of production. The ultimate effect of this change on our earnings cannot be quantified, as the effect of movements in cotton prices on industry selling prices H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K are uncertain, but any dramatic increase in the price of cotton would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. The loss of one or more of our suppliers of finished goods or raw materials may interrupt our supplies and materially harm our business. We purchase all of the raw materials used in our products and 21% of the apparel designed by us from a limited number of third-party suppliers and manufacturers. Our ability to meet our customers’ needs depends on our ability to maintain an uninterrupted supply of raw materials and finished products from our third-party suppliers and manufacturers. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected if any of our principal third-party suppliers or manufac- turers experience production problems, lack of capacity or transportation disruptions. The magnitude of this risk depends upon the timing of the changes, the materials or products that the third-party manufacturers provide and the volume of production. Our dependence on third parties for raw materials and finished products subjects us to the risk of supplier failure and customer dissatisfaction with the quality of our products. Qual- ity failures by our third-party manufacturers or changes in their financial or business condition that affect their production could disrupt our ability to supply quality products to our customers and thereby materially harm our business. Due to the extensive nature of our foreign operations, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could negatively impact our results of operations. We sell a majority of our products in transactions denom- inated in U.S. dollars; however, we purchase many of our products, pay a portion of our wages and make other payments in our supply chain in foreign currencies. As a result, if the U.S. dollar were to weaken against any of these currencies, our cost of sales could increase substantially. Outside the United States, we may pay for materials or finished products in U.S. dollars, and in some cases a strengthening of the U.S. dollar could effectively increase our costs where we use foreign currency to purchase the U.S. dollars we need to make such payments. We use foreign exchange forward and option con- tracts to hedge material exposure to adverse changes in foreign exchange rates. We are also exposed to gains and losses resulting from the effect that fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates have on the reported results in our Consolidated Financial Statements due to the translation of operating results and financial position of our foreign subsidiaries. In addition, currency fluctuations can impact the price of cotton, the primary raw material we use in our business. We had approximately 47,600 employees worldwide as of December 29, 2007, and our business operations and finan- cial performance could be adversely affected by changes in our relationship with our employees or changes to U.S. or foreign employment regulations. We had approximately 47,600 employees worldwide as of December 29, 2007. This means we have a significant exposure to changes in domestic and foreign laws governing our relation- ships with our employees, including wage and hour laws and regulations, fair labor standards, minimum wage requirements, overtime pay, unemployment tax rates, workers’ compensation rates, citizenship requirements and payroll taxes, which likely would have a direct impact on our operating costs. Approxi- mately 36,100 of those employees were outside of the United States. A significant increase in minimum wage or overtime rates in countries where we have employees could have a significant impact on our operating costs and may require that we relocate those operations or take other steps to mitigate such increases, all of which may cause us to incur additional costs, expend resources responding to such increases and lower our margins. In addition, some of our employees are members of labor organizations or are covered by collective bargaining agree- ments. If there were a significant increase in the number of our employees who are members of labor organizations or become parties to collective bargaining agreements, we would become vulnerable to a strike, work stoppage or other labor action by these employees that could have an adverse effect on our business. We may suffer negative publicity if we or our third-party manufacturers violate labor laws or engage in practices that are viewed as unethical or illegal, which could cause a loss of business. We cannot fully control the business and labor practices of our third-party manufacturers, the majority of whom are located in Central America, the Caribbean Basin and Asia. If one of our own manufacturing operations or one of our third-party manufac- turers violates or is accused of violating local or international labor laws or other applicable regulations, or engages in labor or other practices that would be viewed in any market in which our products are sold as unethical, we could suffer negative publicity, which could tarnish our brands’ image or result in a loss of sales. In addition, if such negative publicity affected one of our custom- ers, it could result in a loss of business for us. The success of our business is tied to the strength and reputation of our brands, including brands that we license to other parties. If other parties take actions that weaken, harm the reputation of or cause confusion with our brands, our business, and consequently our sales, results of opera- tions and cash flows, may be adversely affected. We license some of our important trademarks to third parties. For example, we license Champion to third parties for athletic-oriented accessories. Although we make concerted efforts to protect our brands through quality control mecha- nisms and contractual obligations imposed on our licensees, there is a risk that some licensees may not be in full compliance with those mechanisms and obligations. In that event, or if a licensee engages in behavior with respect to the licensed marks that would cause us reputational harm, we could experience a significant downturn in that brand’s business, adversely affect- ing our sales and results of operations. Similarly, any misuse of the Wonderbra or Playtex brands by Sun Capital could result in 15 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K negative publicity and a loss of sales for our products under these brands, any of which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. We design, manufacture, source and sell products under trademarks that are licensed from third parties. If any licen- sor takes actions related to their trademarks that would cause their brands or our company reputational harm, our business may be adversely affected. We design, manufacture, source and sell a number of our products under trademarks that are licensed from third parties such as our Polo Ralph Lauren men’s underwear. Because we do not control the brands licensed to us, our licensors could make changes to their brands or business models that could result in a significant downturn in a brand’s business, adversely affecting our sales and results of operations. If any licensor engages in behavior with respect to the licensed marks that would cause us reputational harm, or if any of the brands licensed to us violates the trademark rights of another or are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable, we could experience a significant downturn in that brand’s business, adversely affect- ing our sales and results of operations, and we may be required to expend significant amounts on public relations, advertising and, possibly, legal fees. We are prohibited from selling our Wonderbra and Playtex intimate apparel products in the EU, as well as certain other countries in Europe and South Africa, and therefore are unable to take advantage of business opportunities that may arise in such countries. In February 2006, Sara Lee sold its European branded apparel business to Sun Capital. In connection with the sale, Sun Capital received an exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free license to manufacture, sell and distribute apparel products under the Wonderbra and Playtex trademarks in the member states of the EU, as well as Russia, South Africa, Switzerland and certain other nations in Europe. Due to the exclusive license, we are not permitted to sell Wonderbra and Playtex branded products in these nations and Sun Capital is not permitted to sell Wonderbra and Playtex branded products outside of these nations. Consequently, we will not be able to take advantage of business opportunities that may arise relating to the sale of Wonderbra and Playtex products in these nations. For more information on these sales restrictions see “Business— Intellectual Property.” Our indebtedness subjects us to various restrictions and could decrease our profitability and otherwise adversely affect our business. As described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources,” our indebtedness includes the $2.1 billion senior secured credit facility that we entered into on Septem- ber 5, 2006 (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”), the $450 mil- lion senior secured second lien credit facility that we entered into on September 5, 2006 (the “Second Lien Credit Facility” and, together with the Senior Secured Credit Facility, the 16 “Credit Facilities”), our $500 million Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2014 (the “Floating Rate Senior Notes”) and the $250 mil- lion accounts receivable securitization facility that we entered into on November 27, 2007 (the “Receivables Facility”). The Senior Secured Credit Facility, Second Lien Credit Facility and the indenture governing the Floating Rate Senior Notes contain restrictions that affect, and in some cases significantly limit or prohibit, among other things, our ability to borrow funds, pay dividends or make other distributions, make investments, engage in transactions with affiliates, or create liens on our assets. In addition, the Credit Facilities and the Receivables Facility require us to maintain financial ratios. If we fail to comply with the covenant restrictions contained in these agree- ments, that failure could result in a default that accelerates the maturity of the indebtedness under such facilities. Our leverage also could put us at a competitive disadvan- tage compared to our competitors that are less leveraged. These competitors could have greater financial flexibility to pursue strategic acquisitions, secure additional financing for their operations by incurring additional debt, expend capital to expand their manufacturing and production operations to lower- cost areas and apply pricing pressure on us. In addition, because many of our customers rely on us to fulfill a substantial portion of their apparel essentials demand, any concern these customers may have regarding our financial condition may cause them to reduce the amount of products they purchase from us. Our leverage could also impede our ability to withstand downturns in our industry or the economy in general. Our indebtedness restricts our ability to obtain additional capital in the future. If we need to incur additional debt or issue equity in order to fund working capital and capital expenditures or to make acquisitions and other investments, debt or equity financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. If we are not able to obtain sufficient financing, we may be unable to maintain or expand our business. If we raise funds through the issuance of debt or equity, any debt securities or preferred stock issued will have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of holders of our common stock in the event of a liquidation, and the terms of the debt securities may impose restrictions on our operations. If we raise funds through the issuance of equity, the issuance would dilute the ownership interest of our stockholders. The restrictions contained in the Credit Facilities and in the indenture governing the Floating Rate Senior Notes restrict our ability to obtain additional capital in the future to fund capital expenditures or acquisitions, meet our debt payment obligations and capital commitments, fund any operating losses or future development of our business affiliates, obtain lower borrowing costs that are available from secured lenders or engage in advantageous transactions that monetize our assets, or conduct other necessary or prudent corporate activities. H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K If we fail to meet our payment or other obligations, the lenders could foreclose on, and acquire control of, substan- tially all of our assets. independent business operations, particularly companies such as ours in highly competitive markets with complex supply chain operations. In connection with our incurrence of indebtedness under the Credit Facilities, the lenders under those facilities have received a pledge of substantially all of our existing and future direct and indirect subsidiaries, with certain customary or agreed-upon exceptions for foreign subsidiaries and certain other subsidiaries. Additionally, these lenders generally have a lien on substantially all of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries, with certain exceptions. The financial institutions that are party to the Receivables Facility have a lien on certain of our domestic accounts receivables. As a result of these pledges and liens, if we fail to meet our payment or other obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, the Second Lien Credit Facility or the Receivables Facility, the lenders under those facilities will be entitled to foreclose on substantially all of our assets and, at their option, liquidate these assets. To service our debt obligations, we may need to increase the portion of the income of our foreign subsidiaries that is expected to be remitted to the United States, which could increase our income tax expense. We pay U.S. federal income taxes on that portion of the income of our foreign subsidiaries that is expected to be remitted to the United States and be taxable. The amount of the income of our foreign subsidiaries we remit to the United States may significantly impact our U.S. federal income tax rate. In order to service our debt obligations, we may need to increase the portion of the income of our foreign subsidiaries that we expect to remit to the United States, which may significantly increase our income tax expense. Consequently, our tax rate has been, and we believe in future periods is likely to continue to be, higher, on average, than our historical income tax rates in periods prior to our spin off from Sara Lee. Risks Related to Our Status as a Newly Independent Company We have a limited operating history as an independent company upon which our performance can be evaluated and, accordingly, our prospects must be considered in light of the risks that any newly independent company encounters. Prior to the consummation of the spin off, we operated as part of Sara Lee. Accordingly, we have limited experience operating as an independent company and performing various corporate functions, including human resources, tax administra- tion, legal (including compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and with the periodic reporting obligations of the Securi- ties Exchange Act of 1934, or the “Exchange Act”), treasury administration, investor relations, internal audit, insurance, infor- mation technology and telecommunications services, as well as the accounting for many items such as equity compensation, income taxes, derivatives, intangible assets and pensions. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by companies in the early stages of Our historical financial information is not necessarily indic- ative of our results as a separate company and therefore may not be reliable as an indicator of our future financial results. Our historical financial statements for periods prior to the spin off were created from Sara Lee’s financial statements using our historical results of operations and historical bases of assets and liabilities as part of Sara Lee. Accordingly, historical financial information for periods prior to the spin off is not necessarily indicative of what our financial position, results of operations and cash flows would have been if we had been a separate, stand-alone entity during those periods. Our historical financial information for periods prior to the spin off is not necessarily indicative of what our results of operations, financial position and cash flows will be in the future and, for periods prior to the spin off, does not reflect many significant changes in our capital structure, funding and opera- tions resulting from the spin off. While our results of operations for periods prior to the spin off include all costs of Sara Lee’s branded apparel business, these costs and expenses do not include all of the costs that would have been or will be incurred by us as an independent company. In addition, we have not made adjustments to our historical financial information to reflect changes, many of which are significant, that occurred in our cost structure, financing and operations as a result of the spin off, including the substantial debt we incurred and pension liabilities we assumed in connection with the spin off. These changes include potentially increased costs associated with reduced economies of scale and purchasing power. Our effective income tax rate as reflected in our historical financial information for periods prior to the spin off has not been and may not be indicative of our future effective income tax rate. Among other things, the rate may be materially impacted by: m changes in the mix of our earnings from the various jurisdic- tions in which we operate; m the tax characteristics of our earnings; m the timing and amount of earnings of foreign subsidiaries that we repatriate to the United States, which may increase our tax expense and taxes paid; and m the timing and results of any reviews of our income tax filing positions in the jurisdictions in which we transact business. If the IRS determines that our spin off from Sara Lee does not qualify as a “tax-free” distribution or a “tax-free” reor- ganization, we may be subject to substantial liability. Sara Lee has received a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, or the “IRS,” to the effect that, among other things, the spin off qualifies as a tax-free distribu- tion for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the 17 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K “Internal Revenue Code,” and as part of a tax-free reorganiza- tion under Section 368(a)(1)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code, and the transfer to us of assets and the assumption by us of liabilities in connection with the spin off will not result in the recognition of any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes to Sara Lee. Although the private letter ruling relating to the qualification of the spin off under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code generally is binding on the IRS, the continuing validity of the ruling is subject to the accuracy of factual representations and assumptions made in connection with obtaining such private letter ruling. Also, as part of the IRS’s general policy with respect to rulings on spin off transac- tions under Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code, the private letter ruling obtained by Sara Lee is based upon repre- sentations by Sara Lee that certain conditions which are neces- sary to obtain tax-free treatment under Section 355 and Section 368(a)(1)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code have been satisfied, rather than a determination by the IRS that these conditions have been satisfied. Any inaccuracy in these repre- sentations could invalidate the ruling. If the spin off does not qualify for tax-free treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes, then, in general, Sara Lee would be subject to tax as if it has sold the common stock of our company in a taxable sale for its fair market value. Sara Lee’s stockholders would be subject to tax as if they had received a taxable distribution equal to the fair market value of our common stock that was distributed to them, taxed as a dividend (without reduction for any portion of a Sara Lee’s stockholder’s basis in its shares of Sara Lee common stock) for U.S. federal income tax purposes and possibly for purposes of state and local tax law, to the extent of a Sara Lee’s stock- holder’s pro rata share of Sara Lee’s current and accumulated earnings and profits (including any arising from the taxable gain to Sara Lee with respect to the spin off). It is expected that the amount of any such taxes to Sara Lee’s stockholders and to Sara Lee would be substantial. Pursuant to a tax sharing agreement we entered into with Sara Lee in connection with the spin off, we agreed to indem- nify Sara Lee and its affiliates for any liability for taxes of Sara Lee resulting from: (1) any action or failure to act by us or any of our affiliates following the completion of the spin off that would be inconsistent with or prohibit the spin off from qualify- ing as a tax-free transaction to Sara Lee and to Sara Lee’s stockholders under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code, or (2) any action or failure to act by us or any of our affiliates following the completion of the spin off that would be inconsistent with or cause to be untrue any material, information, covenant or representation made in connection with the private letter ruling obtained by Sara Lee from the IRS relating to, among other things, the qualification of the spin off as a tax-free transaction described under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code. Our indemnification obligations to Sara Lee and its affiliates are not limited in amount or subject to any cap. We expect that the amount of any such taxes to Sara Lee would be substantial. 18 We agreed with Sara Lee to certain restrictions in order to comply with U.S. federal income tax requirements for a tax-free spin off and we may not be able to engage in acquisitions and other strategic transactions that may oth- erwise be in our best interests. Current U.S. federal tax law that applies to spin offs gener- ally creates a presumption that the spin off would be taxable to Sara Lee but not to its stockholders if we engage in, or enter into an agreement to engage in, a plan or series of related transactions that would result in the acquisition of a 50% or greater interest (by vote or by value) in our stock ownership during the four-year period beginning on the date that begins two years before the spin off, unless it is established that the transaction is not pursuant to a plan related to the spin off. U.S. Treasury Regulations generally provide that whether an acquisition of our stock and a spin off are part of a plan is determined based on all of the facts and circumstances, includ- ing specific factors listed in the regulations. In addition, the regulations provide certain “safe harbors” for acquisitions of our stock that are not considered to be part of a plan related to the spin off. There are other restrictions imposed on us under current U.S. federal tax law for spin offs and with which we will need to comply in order to preserve the favorable tax treatment of the distribution, such as continuing to own and manage our apparel business and limitations on sales or redemptions of our common stock for cash or other property following the distribution. In our tax sharing agreement with Sara Lee, we agreed that, among other things, we will not take any actions that would result in any tax being imposed on Sara Lee as a result of the spin off. Further, for the two-year period following the spin off, we agreed, among other things, not to: (1) sell or otherwise issue equity securities or repurchase any of our stock except in certain circumstances permitted by the IRS guidelines; (2) volun- tarily dissolve or liquidate or engage in any merger (except certain cash acquisition mergers), consolidation, or other reorga- nizations except for certain mergers of our wholly-owned subsidiaries to the extent not inconsistent with the tax-free status of the spin off; (3) sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of more than 50% of our assets, excluding any sales conducted in the ordinary course of business; or (4) cease, transfer or dispose of all or any portion of our socks business. We are, however, permitted to take certain actions other- wise prohibited by the tax sharing agreement if we provide Sara Lee with an unqualified opinion of tax counsel or private letter ruling from the IRS, acceptable to Sara Lee, to the effect that these actions will not affect the tax-free nature of the spin off. These restrictions could substantially limit our strategic and operational flexibility, including our ability to finance our opera- tions by issuing equity securities, make acquisitions using equity securities, repurchase our equity securities, raise money by selling assets or enter into business combination transactions. H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K The terms of our spin off from Sara Lee, anti-takeover pro- visions of our charter and bylaws, as well as Maryland law and our stockholder rights agreement, may reduce the like- lihood of any potential change of control or unsolicited acquisition proposal that you might consider favorable. The terms of our spin off from Sara Lee could delay or prevent a change of control that our stockholders may favor. An acquisition or issuance of our common stock could trigger the application of Section 355(e) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the tax sharing agreement that we entered into with Sara Lee, we are required to indemnify Sara Lee for the resulting tax in connection with such an acquisition or issuance and this indemnity obligation might discourage, delay or prevent a change of control that our stockholders may consider favorable. Our charter and bylaws and Maryland law contain provisions that could make it harder for a third-party to acquire us without the consent of our board of directors. Our charter permits our board of directors, without stockholder approval, to amend the charter to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that we have the authority to issue. In addition, our board of directors may classify or reclassify any unissued shares of common stock or preferred stock and may set the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers and other terms of the classified or reclassified shares. Our board of directors could establish a series of preferred stock that could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a transaction or a change in control that might involve a premium price for our common stock or otherwise be in the best interest of our stockholders. Our board of directors also is permitted, without stockholder approval, to implement a classified board structure at any time. Our bylaws, which only can be amended by our board of directors, provide that nominations of persons for election to our board of directors and the proposal of business to be considered at a stockholders meeting may be made only in the notice of the meeting, by our board of directors or by a stockholder who is entitled to vote at the meeting and has complied with the advance notice procedures of our bylaws. Also, under Maryland law, business combinations between us and an interested stockholder or an affiliate of an interested stockholder, including mergers, consolidations, share exchanges or, in circumstances specified in the statute, asset transfers or issuances or reclassifications of equity securities, are prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the inter- ested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. An inter- ested stockholder includes any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting power of our shares or any affiliate or associate of ours who, at any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of our stock. A person is not an interested stockholder under the statute if our board of directors approved in advance the transaction by which he otherwise would have become an interested stockholder. However, in approving a transaction, our board of directors may provide that its approval is subject to compliance, at or after the time of approval, with any terms and conditions determined by our board. After the five-year prohibition, any business combination between us and an interested stockholder generally must be recommended by our board of directors and approved by two supermajority votes or our common stockholders must receive a minimum price, as defined under Maryland law, for their shares. The statute permits various exemptions from its provi- sions, including business combinations that are exempted by our board of directors prior to the time that the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. In addition, we have adopted a stockholder rights agree- ment which provides that in the event of an acquisition of or tender offer for 15% of our outstanding common stock, our stockholders shall be granted rights to purchase our common stock at a certain price. The stockholder rights agreement could make it more difficult for a third-party to acquire our common stock without the approval of our board of directors. These and other provisions of Maryland law or our charter and bylaws could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a transaction or a change in control that might involve a premium price for our common stock or otherwise be considered favorably by our stockholders.

Because many of the shares of our common stock are held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of stockholders, we are unable to determine the total number of stockholders represented by these record holders, but we believe that there were more than 113,300 beneficial owners of our common stock as of February 1, 2008. Dividends We currently do not pay regular dividends on our outstand- ing stock. The declaration of any future dividends and, if declared, the amount of any such dividends, will be subject to our actual future earnings, capital requirements, regulatory restrictions, debt covenants, other contractual restrictions and to the discretion of our board of directors. Our board of directors may take into account such matters as general business conditions, our financial condition and results of oper- ations, our capital requirements, our prospects and such other factors as our board of directors may deem relevant. Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities There were no purchases by Hanesbrands during the quar- ter ended December 29, 2007 of equity securities that are registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act. Performance Graph The following graph compares the cumulative total stock- holder return on our common stock with the comparable cumu- lative return of the S&P MidCap 400 Index and the S&P 1500 Apparel, Accessories & Luxury Goods Index. The graph assumes that $100 was invested in our common stock and each index on August 11, 2006, the effective date of the registration of our common stock under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, although a “when-issued” trading market for our common stock did not begin until August 16, 2006, and “regular way” trading did not begin until September 6, 2006. The stock price performance on the following graph is not necessarily indicative of future stock price performance. Comparison of Cumulative Total Return ITEM 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities Market for our Common Stock Our common stock currently is traded on the New York Stock Exchange, or the “NYSE,” under the symbol “HBI.” A “when-issued” trading market for our common stock on the NYSE began on August 16, 2006, and “regular way” trading of our common stock began on September 6, 2006. Prior to August 16, 2006, there was no public market for our common stock. Each share of our common stock has attached to it one preferred stock purchase right. These rights initially will be transferable with and only with the transfer of the underlying share of common stock. We have not made any unregistered sales of our equity securities.

Changes in the market price of our common stock may result from, among other things: m quarter-to-quarter variations in operating results; m operating results being different from analysts’ estimates; m changes in analysts’ earnings estimates or opinions; m announcements of new products or pricing policies by us or our competitors; m announcements of acquisitions by us or our competitors; m developments in existing customer relationships; m actual or perceived changes in our business strategy; m new litigation or developments in existing litigation; m sales of large amounts of our common stock; m changes in market conditions in the apparel essentials industry; m changes in general economic conditions; and m fluctuations in the securities markets in general. 22 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K Compliance with Certain New York Stock Exchange Requirements As required by the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, Richard A.

Overview Our Company We are a consumer goods company with a portfolio of leading apparel brands, including Hanes, Champion, Playtex, Bali, Just My Size, barely there and Wonderbra. We design, manufacture, source and sell a broad range of apparel essentials such as t-shirts, bras, panties, men’s underwear, kids’ under- wear, socks, hosiery, casualwear and activewear. According to NPD, our brands hold either the number one or number two U.S. market position by sales in most product categories in which we compete, on a rolling year-end basis as of Decem- ber 31, 2007. 24 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . Our Segments Our operations are managed in five operating segments, each of which is a reportable segment for financial reporting purposes: Innerwear, Outerwear, Hosiery, International and Other. These segments are organized principally by product category and geographic location. Management of each seg- ment is responsible for the assets and operations of these businesses. m Innerwear. The Innerwear segment focuses on core apparel essentials, and consists of products such as wom- en’s intimate apparel, men’s underwear, kids’ underwear, socks, thermals and sleepwear, marketed under well-known brands that are trusted by consumers. We are an intimate apparel category leader in the United States with our Hanes, Playtex, Bali, Just My Size, barely there and Wonderbra brands. We are also a leading manufacturer and marketer of men’s underwear and kids’ underwear under the Hanes and Champion brand names. Our net sales for the year ended December 29, 2007 from our Innerwear segment were $2.6 billion, representing approximately 57% of total seg- ment net sales. m Outerwear. We are a leader in the casualwear and active- wear markets through our Hanes, Champion and Just My Size brands, where we offer products such as t-shirts and fleece. Our casualwear lines offer a range of quality, comfort- able clothing for men, women and children marketed under the Hanes and Just My Size brands. The Just My Size brand offers casual apparel designed exclusively to meet the needs of plus-size women. In addition to activewear for men and women, Champion provides uniforms for athletic programs and includes an apparel program, C9 by Champion, at Target stores. We also license our Champion name for collegiate apparel and footwear. We also supply our t-shirts, sportshirts and fleece products primarily to wholesalers, who then resell to screen printers and embellishers through brands such as Hanes, Champion and Outerbanks. Our net sales for the year ended December 29, 2007 from our Outerwear segment were $1.2 billion, representing approximately 27% of total segment net sales. m Hosiery. We are the leading marketer of women’s sheer hosiery in the United States. We compete in the hosiery market by striving to offer superior values and executing integrated marketing activities, as well as focusing on the style of our hosiery products. We market hosiery products under our Hanes, L’eggs and Just My Size brands. Our net sales for the year ended December 29, 2007 from our Hosiery segment were $266 million, representing approxi- mately 6% of total segment net sales. We expect the trend of declining hosiery sales to continue consistent with the overall decline in the industry (although the decline has slowed in recent years) and with shifts in consumer preferences. 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K m International. International includes products that span across the Innerwear, Outerwear and Hosiery reportable segments and include products marketed under the Hanes, Champion, Wonderbra, Playtex, Rinbros, Bali and Stedman brands. Our net sales for the year ended December 29, 2007 from our International segment were $422 million, represent- ing approximately 9% of total segment net sales and included sales in Latin America, Asia, Canada and Europe. Japan, Canada and Mexico are our largest international markets, and we also have sales offices in India and China. m Other. Our net sales for the year ended December 29, 2007 in our Other segment were $57 million, representing approximately 1% of total segment net sales and are comprised of sales of nonfinished products such as fabric and certain other materials in the United States and Latin America in order to maintain asset utilization at certain manufacturing facilities. Our operating results are subject to some variability. Gener- ally, our diverse range of product offerings helps mitigate the impact of seasonal changes in demand for certain items. Sales are typically higher in the last two quarters (July to December) of each fiscal year. Socks, hosiery and fleece products generally have higher sales during this period as a result of cooler weather, back-to-school shopping and holidays. Sales levels in a period are also impacted by customers’ decisions to increase or decrease their inventory levels in response to anticipated con- sumer demand. Our customers may cancel orders, change delivery schedules or change the mix of products ordered with minimal notice to us. Our results of operations are also impacted by fluctuations and volatility in the price of cotton and the timing of actual spending for our media, advertising and promotion expenses. Media, advertising and promotion expenses may vary from period to period during a fiscal year depending on the timing of our advertising campaigns for retail selling seasons and product introductions. Our costs for cotton yarn and cotton-based textiles vary based upon the fluctuating cost of cotton, which is affected by weather, consumer demand, speculation on the commodities market, the relative valuations and fluctuations of the currencies of producer versus consumer countries and other factors that are generally unpre- dictable and beyond our control. While we do enter into short- term supply agreements and hedges in an attempt to protect our business from the volatility of the market price of cotton, our business can be affected by dramatic movements in cotton prices, although cotton represents only 6% of our cost of sales. Cotton prices, which were approximately 50 cents per pound in 2006, returned to the ten year historical average of approxi- mately 56 cents per pound in 2007. Taking into consideration the agreements that we currently have in effect and cotton costs currently included in inventory, we expect our cost of cotton to average 62 cents per pound through August 2008, with the first quarter being lower and the third quarter being higher. 25 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K Business and Industry Trends Our Key Business Strategies Our businesses are highly competitive and evolving rapidly. Competition generally is based upon price, brand name recogni- tion, product quality, selection, service and purchasing conve- nience. While the majority of our core styles continue from year to year, with variations only in color, fabric or design details, other products such as intimate apparel and sheer hosiery have a heavier emphasis on style and innovation. Our businesses face competition today from other large corporations and for- eign manufacturers, as well as department stores, specialty stores and other retailers that market and sell apparel essentials products under private labels that compete directly with our brands. Our distribution channels include direct to consumer sales at our outlet stores, national chains and department stores and warehouse clubs, mass-merchandise outlets and international sales. For the year ended December 29, 2007, approximately 46% of our net sales were to mass merchants, 19% were to national chains and department stores, 8% were direct to consumers, 9% were in our International segment and 18% were to other retail channels such as embellishers, specialty retailers, warehouse clubs and sporting goods stores. The retailers to which we sell our products have grown larger, partly due to retailer consolidation, and, as such, the number of retailers to which we sell our products has declined. For the year ended December 29, 2007, for example, our top ten customers accounted for 62% of our net sales and our top customer, Wal-Mart, accounted for over $1.2 billion of our sales. Our largest customers in the year ended December 29, 2007 were Wal-Mart, Target and Kohl’s, which accounted for 27%, 14% and 6% of total sales, respectively. The growth in retailers can create pricing pressures as our customers grow larger and seek to have greater concessions in their purchase of our products, while they can be increasingly demanding that we provide them with some of our products on an exclusive basis. To counteract these effects, it has become increasingly impor- tant to increase operational efficiency and lower costs. As discussed below, for example, we are moving more of our supply chain to lower cost locations to lower the costs of our operational structure. Anticipating changes in and managing our operations in response to consumer preferences remains an important ele- ment of our business. In recent years, we have experienced changes in our net sales, revenues and cash flows in accor- dance with changes in consumer preferences and trends. For example, we expect the trend of declining hosiery sales to continue consistent with the overall decline in the industry (although the decline has slowed in recent years) and with shifts in consumer preferences. The Hosiery segment only comprised 6% of our net sales in the year ended December 29, 2007 however, and as a result, the decline in the Hosiery segment has not had a significant impact on our net sales, revenues or cash flows. Generally, we manage the Hosiery segment for cash, placing an emphasis on reducing our cost structure and managing cash efficiently. 26 Our core strategies are to build our largest, strongest brands in core categories by driving innovation in key items, to contin- ually reduce our costs by consolidating our organization and globalizing our supply chain and to use our strong, consistent cash flows to fund business growth, supply-chain reorganization and debt reduction and to repurchase shares to offset dilution. Specifically, we intend to focus on the following strategic initiatives: m Increase the Strength of Our Brands with Consumers. Driving growth platforms across categories is a major element of our strategy as it enables us to meet key consumer needs and leverage advertising dollars. We intend to increase our level of marketing support behind our key brands with targeted, effective advertising and marketing campaigns. For example, in 2007, we launched a number of new advertising and marketing initiatives. We featured Jen- nifer Love Hewitt in a new television, print and online advertising campaign that began in March 2007 in support of the launch of the Hanes All-Over Comfort Bra with ComfortSoft straps. The campaign includes new television, print and online ads. We launched our latest “Look Who” advertising campaign featuring Cuba Gooding Jr. and Michael Jordan in July 2007, in support of the new Hanes ComfortSoft Collection for Men, which includes the Hanes ComfortSoft undershirt and ComfortSoft underwear. Also in July 2007, we launched The Hanes ComfortZone Tour, a mobile marketing initiative focused helping men experience ComfortSoft product innovation first hand. In November 2007, we launched the first campaign for our Champion brand since 2003, a national advertising campaign featuring a new tagline, “How You Play,” designed to capture the everyday moments of fun and sport in a series of cool and hip lifestyle images. In the Spring of 2007, we launched a new “Live Beautifully” campaign for our Bali brand, which features Bali bras and panties from its Passion for Comfort, Seductive Curve and Cotton Creations lines. We launched an innovative and expressive advertising and marketing campaign called “Girl Talk” in September 2007 in which confident, everyday women talk about their breasts, in support of our Playtex 18 Hour and Playtex Secrets product lines. In October 2007, we announced a 10-year strategic alliance with The Walt Disney Company that includes basic apparel exclusivity for the Hanes and Champion brands, product co-branding, attraction sponsorships and other brand visibility and signage at Walt Disney Parks and Resorts properties. Our ability to react to changing customer needs and industry trends will continue to be key to our success. Our design, research and product development teams, in partnership with our marketing teams, drive our efforts to bring innovations to market. We intend to leverage our insights into consumer demand in the apparel essentials industry to develop new products within our existing lines and to modify our existing core products in ways that make them more appealing, addressing changing customer needs and industry trends. H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K m Strengthen Our Retail Relationships. We intend to expand our market share at large, national retailers by applying our extensive category and product knowledge, leveraging our use of multi-functional customer manage- ment teams and developing new customer-specific pro- grams such as C9 by Champion for Target. Our goal is to strengthen and deepen our existing strategic relationships with retailers and develop new strategic relationships. Addi- tionally, we plan to expand distribution by providing manu- facturing and production of apparel essentials products to specialty stores and other distribution channels, such as direct to consumer through the Internet. m Develop a Lower-Cost Efficient Supply Chain. As a pro- vider of high-volume products, we are continually seeking to improve our cost-competitiveness and operating flexibility through supply chain initiatives. Over the next several years, we will continue to transition additional parts of our supply chain to lower-cost locations in Central America, the Carib- bean Basin and Asia in an effort to optimize our cost structure. We intend to continue to self-manufacture core products where we can protect or gain a significant cost advantage through scale or in cases where we seek to protect proprietary processes and technology. We plan to continue to selectively source product categories that do not meet these criteria from third-party manufacturers. We expect that in future years our supply chain will become more balanced across the Eastern and Western Hemi- spheres. We expect that these changes in our supply chain will result in significant cost efficiencies and increased asset utilization. Our restructuring activities are discussed in more detail below. m Create a More Integrated, Focused Company. Historically, we have had a decentralized operating structure, with many distinct operating units. We are in the process of consolidat- ing functions, such as purchasing, finance, manufacturing/ sourcing, planning, marketing and product development, across all of our product categories in the United States. We also are in the process of integrating our distribution operations and information technology systems. We believe that these initiatives will streamline our operations, improve our inventory management, reduce costs, standardize pro- cesses and allow us to distribute our products more effec- tively to retailers. We expect that our initiative to integrate our technology systems also will provide us with more timely information, increasing our ability to allocate capital and manage our business more effectively. We expect to continue to incur costs associated with the integration of these systems across our company over the next several years. This process involves the integration or replacement of eight independent information technology platforms so that our business functions are served by fewer platforms. Supply Chain Consolidation and Globalization Over the past several years, we have undertaken a variety of restructuring efforts designed to improve operating efficien- cies and lower costs. We have closed plant locations, reduced our workforce, and relocated some of our manufacturing capac- ity to lower cost locations in Central America and Asia. For example, during the year ended December 29, 2007, in further- ance of our efforts to execute our consolidation and globaliza- tion strategy, we approved actions to close 17 manufacturing facilities and three distribution centers affecting 6,213 employ- ees in the Dominican Republic, Mexico, the United States, Brazil and Canada. In addition, 428 management and administra- tive positions are being eliminated, with the majority of these positions based in the United States. We also have recognized accelerated depreciation with respect to owned or leased assets associated with 17 manufacturing facilities and five distribution centers which we anticipate closing in the next three to five years as part of our consolidation and globalization strategy. While we believe that these efforts have had and will continue to have a beneficial impact on our operational effi- ciency and cost structure, we have incurred significant costs to implement these initiatives. In particular, we have recorded charges for severance and other employment-related obligations relating to workforce reductions, as well as payments in con- nection with lease and other contract terminations. These amounts are included in the “Cost of sales,” “Restructuring” and “Selling, general and administrative expenses” lines of our statements of income. We acquired our second offshore textile plant, the 1,300- employee textile manufacturing operations of Industrias Dura- flex, S.A. de C.V., in San Juan Opico, El Salvador. This acquisi- tion provides a textile base in Central America from which to expand and leverage our large scale as well as supply our sewing network throughout Central America. Also, we announced plans to build a textile production plant in Nanjing, China, which will be our first company-owned textile production facility in Asia. The Nanjing textile facility will enable us to expand and leverage our production scale in Asia as we balance our supply chain across hemispheres. In December 2007, we acquired the 900-employee sheer hosiery facility in Las Lourdes, El Salvador of Inversiones Bonaventure, S.A. de C.V. For the past 12 years, these operations had been a primary contract sewing operation for Hanes and L’eggs hosiery products. The acquisition streamlines a critical part of our overall hosiery supply chain and is part of our strategy to operate larger, company-owned production facilities. As a result of the restructuring actions taken since our spin off from Sara Lee on September 5, 2006, our cost structure was reduced and efficiencies improved, generating savings of $21 million during the year ended December 29, 2007. Of the seven manufacturing facilities and distribution centers approved for closure in 2006, two were closed in 2006 and five were closed in 2007. Of the 20 manufacturing facilities and distribu- tion centers approved for closure in 2007, 10 were closed in 2007 and 10 are expected to close in 2008. For more informa- tion about our restructuring actions, see Note 5, titled “Restruc- turing” to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 27 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K for business insurance, medical insurance, employee benefit plan amounts and, because we were part of Sara Lee those periods, allocations from Sara Lee for certain centralized admin- istration costs for treasury, real estate, accounting, auditing, tax, risk management, human resources and benefits administration. These allocations of centralized administration costs were deter- mined on bases that we and Sara Lee considered to be reasonable and take into consideration and include relevant operating profit, fixed assets, sales and payroll. Selling, general and administrative expenses also include management payroll, benefits, travel, information systems, accounting, insurance and legal expenses. Restructuring We have from time to time closed facilities and reduced headcount, including in connection with previously announced restructuring and business transformation plans. We refer to these activities as restructuring actions. When we decide to close facilities or reduce headcount, we take estimated charges for such restructuring, including charges for exited non-cancel- able leases and other contractual obligations, as well as sever- ance and benefits. If the actual charge is different from the original estimate, an adjustment is recognized in the period such change in estimate is identified. Other expenses Our other expenses include charges such as losses on early extinguishment of debt and certain other non-operating items. Interest expense, net As part of the spin off from Sara Lee on September 5, 2006, we incurred $2.6 billion of debt in the form of the Senior Secured Credit Facility, the Second Lien Credit Facility and a bridge loan facility (the “Bridge Loan Facility”), $2.4 billion of which we paid to Sara Lee. In December 2006, we issued $500 million of floating rate senior notes and the proceeds were used to repay all amounts outstanding under the Bridge Loan Facility. On November 27, 2007, we entered into the Receiv- ables Facility which provides for up to $250 million in funding accounted for as a secured borrowing, all of which we bor- rowed and used to repay a portion of the Senior Secured Credit Facility. As a result, our interest expense in the current and future periods will be substantially higher than in periods prior to our spin off from Sara Lee. As part of our historical relationship with Sara Lee, we engaged in intercompany borrowings. We are no longer able to borrow from Sara Lee. Our interest expense is net of interest income. Interest income is the return we earned on our cash and cash equiva- lents and, historically, on money we loaned to Sara Lee as part of its corporate cash management practices. Our cash and cash equivalents are invested in highly liquid investments with orig- inal maturities of three months or less. As further plans are developed and approved by manage- ment and in some cases our board of directors, we expect to recognize additional restructuring costs to eliminate duplicative functions within the organization and transition a significant portion of our manufacturing capacity to lower-cost locations. As a result of these efforts, we expect to incur approximately $250 million in restructuring and related charges over the three year period following the spin off from Sara Lee, of which approximately half is expected to be noncash. As of Decem- ber 29, 2007, we have recognized approximately $116 million in restructuring and related charges related to these efforts. Of these charges, $43 million relates to employee termination and other benefits, $61 million relates to accelerated depreciation of buildings and equipment for facilities that have been or will be closed and $12 million relates to lease termination costs. Components of Net Sales and Expense Net sales We generate net sales by selling apparel essentials such as t-shirts, bras, panties, men’s underwear, kids’ underwear, socks, hosiery, casualwear and activewear. Our net sales are recog- nized net of discounts, coupons, rebates, volume-based incen- tives and cooperative advertising costs. We recognize revenue when (i) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement (ii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, (iii) title and the risks of ownership have been transferred to the customer and (iv) collec- tion of the receivable is reasonably assured, which occurs primarily upon shipment. Net sales include an estimate for returns and allowances based upon historical return experience. We also offer a variety of sales incentives to resellers and consumers that are recorded as reductions to net sales. Cost of sales Our cost of sales includes the cost of manufacturing finished goods, which consists of labor, raw materials such as cotton and petroleum-based products and overhead costs such as depreciation on owned facilities and equipment. Our cost of sales also includes finished goods sourced from third-party manufacturers that supply us with products based on our designs as well as charges for slow moving or obsolete inven- tories. Rebates, discounts and other cash consideration received from a vendor related to inventory purchases are reflected in cost of sales when the related inventory item is sold. Our costs of sales do not include shipping costs, comprised of payments to third party shippers, or handling costs, comprised of ware- housing costs in our distribution facilities, and thus our gross margins may not be comparable to those of other entities that include such costs in cost of sales. Selling, general and administrative expenses Our selling, general and administrative expenses include selling, advertising, costs of shipping, handling and distribution to our customers, research and development, rent on leased facilities, depreciation on owned facilities and equipment and other general and administrative expenses. Also included for periods presented prior to the spin off on September 5, 2006 are allocations of corporate expenses that consist of expenses 28 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K Income tax expense (benefit) Our effective income tax rate fluctuates from period to period and can be materially impacted by, among other things: m changes in the mix of our earnings from the various jurisdic- tions in which we operate; m the tax characteristics of our earnings; m the timing and amount of earnings of foreign subsidiaries that we repatriate to the United States, which may increase our tax expense and taxes paid; m the timing and results of any reviews of our income tax filing positions in the jurisdictions in which we transact business; and m the expiration of the tax incentives for manufacturing opera- tions in Puerto Rico, which were no longer in effect after July 1, 2006. Inflation and Changing Prices We believe that changes in net sales and in net income that have resulted from inflation or deflation have not been material during the periods presented. There is no assurance, however, that inflation or deflation will not materially affect us in the future. Cotton is the primary raw material we use to manufac- ture many of our products and is subject to fluctuations in prices. Further discussion of the market sensitivity of cotton is included in “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.” Highlights from the Year Ended December 29, 2007 m Total net sales in the year ended December 29, 2007 were higher by $71 million at $4.5 billion compared to the year ended December 30, 2006. Net sales for three of our four largest brands, Hanes, Champion and Bali, all increased in 2007. m Operating profit was $389 million in the year ended Decem- ber 29, 2007, up from $366 million in the year ended December 30, 2006. The higher operating profit was a result of increased sales, cost reduction initiatives and lower spin off and related charges which more than offset higher costs associated with investments in our strategic initiatives and higher restructuring and related charges. m Diluted earnings per share were $1.30 in the year ended December 29, 2007, compared with $2.16 in the year ended December 30, 2006. The full year decline reflected higher interest expense as a result of our independent structure since the spin off from Sara Lee on September 5, 2006, higher restructuring costs and a higher tax rate. m Using cash flow from operating activities, we repaid a net $178 million of long-term debt, repurchased $44 million of company stock, and voluntarily contributed $48 million to our qualified pension plans during 2007. m We completed the final separation of pension plan assets and liabilities from those of our former parent in 2007. As a result, our U.S. qualified pension plans are approximately 97% funded as of December 29, 2007. m We approved actions to close 17 manufacturing facilities and three distribution centers in the Dominican Republic, Mexico, the United States, Brazil and Canada during 2007. In addition, we completed previously announced restructur- ing actions in 2007. The net impact of these actions was to reduce income before taxes for the year ended Decem- ber 29, 2007 by $83 million. m In February 2007, we entered into a first amendment to our senior secured credit facility with our lenders which prima- rily lowered the borrowing applicable margin with respect to the Term B loan facility from 2.25% to 1.75% on LIBOR based loans and from 1.25% to 0.75% on Base Rate loans. m In August 2007, we acquired our second offshore textile plant, the 1,300-employee textile manufacturing operations of Industrias Duraflex, S.A. de C.V., in San Juan Opico, El Salvador. This acquisition provides a textile base in Central America from which to expand and leverage our large scale as well as supply our sewing network throughout Central America. Also, we announced plans in October 2007 to build a textile production plant in Nanjing, China, which will be our first company-owned textile production facility in Asia. The Nanjing textile facility will enable us to expand and leverage our production scale in Asia as we balance our supply chain across hemispheres. m In October 2007, we announced a 10-year strategic alliance with The Walt Disney Company that includes basic apparel exclusivity for the Hanes and Champion brands, product co- branding, attraction sponsorships and other brand visibility and signage at Disney properties. The alliance included the naming rights for the stadium at Disney’s Wide World of Sports Complex, now known as Champion Stadium. m In November 2007, we entered into the Receivables Facility, which provides for up to $250 million in funding accounted for as a secured borrowing, limited to the availability of eligible receivables, and is secured by certain domestic trade receivables and which we expect will reduce our overall borrowing costs in the future. m In December 2007, we acquired the 900-employee sheer hosiery facility in Las Lourdes, El Salvador of Inversiones Bonaventure, S.A. de C.V. For the past 12 years, these operations had been a primary contract sewing operation for Hanes and L’eggs hosiery products. The acquisition stream- lines a critical part of our overall hosiery supply chain and is part of our strategy to operate larger, company-owned production facilities. 29 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K Consolidated Results of Operations—Year Ended December 29, 2007 Compared with Twelve Months Ended December 30, 2006 The information presented below for the year ended December 29, 2007 was derived from our consolidated financial statements. The unaudited information presented for the twelve months ended December 30, 2006 (which twelve month period we refer to as “2006” in this “Consolidated Results of Opera- tion—Year Ended December 29, 2007 Compared with Twelve Months Ended December 30, 2006” section and the section entitled “Operating Results by Business Segment—Year Ended December 29, 2007 Compared with Twelve Months Ended December 30, 2006”) is presented due to the change in our fiscal year end and was derived by combining the six months ended July 1, 2006 and the six months ended December 30, 2006.

Our Outerwear, International and Other segment net sales were higher by $68 million (5.9%), $22 million (5.4%) and $12 million (27.4%), respectively, and were offset by lower segment net sales in Innerwear of $18 million (0.7%) and Hosiery of $12 million (4.3%). The overall higher net sales were primarily due to double digit growth in sales volume in Champion brand sales, growth in Hanes brand casualwear, socks, sleepwear, intimate apparel and men’s underwear sales and Bali brand intimate apparel sales. Our Champion brand sales have increased by double-digits in each of the last three years. The higher net sales were offset primarily by lower sales of promotional t-shirts sold primarily through our embellishment channel, lower Playtex brand inti- mate apparel sales, lower Hanes brand kids’ underwear sales and lower licensed men’s underwear sales in the department store channel. 30 Our strategy of investing in our largest and strongest brands is generating growth. In 2007, we launched a number of new advertising and marketing initiatives for our top brands, including our Hanes ComfortSoft campaigns, Bali Passion for Comfort, Playtex “Girl Talk” and most recently our Champion “How you Play” advertising campaign which is the first campaign for the brand since 2003. We also announced a 10-year strategic alliance with The Walt Disney Company that includes basic apparel exclusivity for the Hanes and Champion brands, product co-branding, attraction sponsorships and other brand visibility and signage at Disney properties. The alliance included the naming rights for the stadium at Disney’s Wide World of Sports Complex, now known as Champion Stadium. Net sales in the Hosiery segment were lower primarily due to lower sales of the L’eggs brand to mass retailers and food and drug stores. We expect the trend of declining hosiery sales to continue consistent with the overall decline in the industry (although the decline has slowed in recent years) and with shifts in consumer preferences. The higher net sales from our Other segment primarily resulted from an immaterial change in the way we recognized sales to third party suppliers in 2006. The full year change was reflected in 2006 with a $5 million impact on net sales and minimal impact on net income. The changes in foreign currency exchange rates had a favorable impact on net sales of $15 million in 2007 compared to 2006. Gross Profit (dollars in thousands) Year Ended December 29, 2007 Year Ended December 30, 2006 Higher (Lower) Gross profit . . . . . . . . . . . . . $1,440,910 $1,442,707 $(1,797) Percent Change (0.1)% As a percent of net sales, our gross profit percentage was 32.2% in 2007 compared to 32.8% in 2006. The lower gross profit percentage was primarily due to higher cotton costs of $21 million, higher excess and obsolete inventory costs of $21 million, $16 million of higher accelerated depreciation, $16 million of unfavorable product sales mix and $13 million of higher start-up and shut down costs associated with the consol- idation and globalization of our supply chain. In addition, gross profit was negatively impacted by higher incentives of $14 mil- lion of which $16 million resulted from a change in the classifi- cation of certain sales incentives in 2007 which were previously classified as media, advertising and promotion expenses in 2006. This change in classification was made in accordance with EITF 01-9, Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products), because the estimated fair value of the identifiable benefit was no longer obtained beginning in 2007. Cotton prices, which were approximately 50 cents per pound in 2006, returned to the ten year historical average of approximately 56 cents per pound in 2007. The higher excess and obsolete inventory costs in 2007 compared to 2006 are primarily attributable to $9 million of costs associated with the rationalization of our sock product category offerings and $5 mil- lion related to exiting a licensing arrangement for a kids’ underwear program. The remaining $7 million of higher excess H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K and obsolete costs aggregates all other product categories as part of our continuous evaluation of both inventory levels and simplification of our product category offerings. The higher accelerated depreciation in 2007 was a result of facilities closed or that will be closed in connection with our consolidation and globalization strategy. These higher costs were offset primarily by savings from our cost reduction initiatives and prior restructuring actions of $30 million, lower allocations of overhead costs of $24 million, $19 million of improved plant performance, $13 million of higher sales volume, lower duty costs of $9 million, primarily due to the receipt of $8 million in duty refunds relating to duties paid several years ago, and $4 million of lower spending in numerous other areas. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (dollars in thousands) Selling, general and Year Ended December 29, 2007 Year Ended December 30, 2006 Higher (Lower) Percent Change administrative expenses . . . $1,040,754 $1,093,436 $(52,682) (4.8)% Selling, general and administrative expenses were $53 mil- lion lower in 2007 compared to 2006. Our expenses were lower primarily due to lower spin off and related charges of $45 million, $12 million of savings from prior restructuring actions, $10 mil- lion of lower distribution expenses and $7 million in amortization of gain on curtailment of postretirement benefits. Our media, advertising and promotion (“MAP”) expenses were lower by $41 million, primarily with respect to non-media related MAP expenses. The lower non-media related MAP expenses are primarily attributable to $25 million of cost reduction initiatives and better deployment of these resources and $16 million due to a change in the classification of certain sales incentives in 2007 which were classified as MAP expenses in 2006. MAP expenses may vary from period to period during a fiscal year depending on the timing of our advertising campaigns for retail selling seasons and product introductions. In addition, pension expense was reduced by $3 million in 2007 as a result of the final separation of our pension assets and liabilities from those of Sara Lee. Our cost reduction efforts during the year have allowed us to offset $7 million of higher stand alone expenses associated with being an independent company and make investments in our strategic initiatives resulting in $16 million of higher media related MAP expenses and $13 million in higher technology consulting expenses in 2007. In addition, our allocations of overhead costs were $24 million lower during 2007 compared to 2006. Accelerated depreciation was $3 million higher in 2007 as a result of facilities closed or that will be closed in connection with our consolidation and globalization strategy. Gain on Curtailment of Postretirement Benefits (dollars in thousands) Gain on curtailment of Year Ended December 29, 2007 Year Ended December 30, 2006 Higher (Lower) Percent Change postretirement benefits . . . . . $(32,144) $(28,467) $3,677 12.9% In December 2006, we notified retirees and employees of the phase out of premium subsidies for early retiree medical coverage and move to an access-only plan for early retirees by the end of 2007. We also eliminated the medical plan for retirees ages 65 and older as a result of coverage available under the expansion of Medicare with Part D drug coverage and eliminated future postretirement life benefits. The gain on curtailment in 2006 represented the unrecognized amounts associated with prior plan amendments that were being amor- tized into income over the remaining service period of the participants prior to the December 2006 amendments. In 2007, we recognized $7 million in postretirement benefit income which was recorded in “Selling, general and administrative expenses,” primarily representing the amortization of negative prior service costs, which was partially offset by service costs, interest costs on the accumulated benefit obligation and actuar- ial gains and losses accumulated in the plan. In December 2007, we terminated the existing plan and recognized a final gain on curtailment of plan benefits of $32 million. Concurrently with the termination of the existing plan, we established a new access only plan that is fully paid by the participants. Restructuring (dollars in thousands) Year Ended December 29, 2007 Year Ended December 30, 2006 Higher (Lower) Percent Change Restructuring . . . . . . . . . . . $43,731 $11,516 $32,215 279.7% During 2007, we approved actions to close 17 manufactur- ing facilities and three distribution centers affecting 6,213 employees in the Dominican Republic, Mexico, the United States, Brazil and Canada, while moving production to lower- cost operations in Central America and Asia. In addition, 428 management and administrative positions were eliminated, with the majority of these positions based in the United States. These actions resulted in a charge of $32 million, representing costs associated with the planned termination of 6,641 employ- ees, primarily attributable to employee and other termination benefits recognized in accordance with benefit plans previously communicated to the affected employee group. In addition, we recognized a charge of $10 million for estimated lease termina- tion costs and $2 million primarily related to impairment charges associated with facility closures approved in prior periods, for facilities that were exited during 2007. Of the seven manufacturing facilities and distribution cen- ters that were approved for closure in 2006, two were closed in 2006 and five were closed in 2007. Of the 20 manufacturing facilities and distribution centers that were approved for closure in 2007, 10 were closed in 2007 and 10 are expected to close in 2008. 31 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K In connection with our consolidation and globalization strat- egy, non-cash charges of $37 million and $3 million, respec- tively, of accelerated depreciation of buildings and equipment for facilities that have been closed or will be closed is reflected in “Cost of sales” and “Selling, general and administrative expenses.” These actions, which are a continuation of our consolidation and globalization strategy, are expected to result in benefits of moving production to lower-cost manufacturing facilities, lever- aging our large scale in high-volume products and consolidating production capacity. Term B loan facility from 2.25% to 1.75% on LIBOR based loans and from 1.25% to 0.75% on Base Rate loans. In November 2007, we entered into the Receivables Facility with conduits that issue commercial paper in the short-term market and are not affiliated with us, which provides for up to $250 mil- lion in funding accounted for as a secured borrowing and is secured by certain domestic trade receivables. The borrowing rate is generally the conduits’ cost to issue commercial paper, plus certain dealer fees, which equated to 5.93% from Novem- ber 27, 2007 through December 29, 2007. Our weighted average interest rate on our outstanding debt in 2007 was 7.74%.

Our ability to control costs and execute on our consolidation and globalization strategy during 2007 has allowed us to offset $29 million of higher investments in our strategic initiatives and $7 million of higher standalone expenses associated with being an independent company.

Interest Expense, net Income tax expense . . . . . . . $57,999 $71,184 $(13,185) (18.5)% Our effective income tax rate was 31.5% in 2007 compared to 25.5% in 2006. The higher effective tax rate is attributable primarily to our new independent structure and higher remitted earnings from foreign subsidiaries in 2007. Our effective tax rate is heavily influenced by the amount of permanent capital investment we make offshore to fund our supply chain consolidation and globalization strategy rather than remitting those earnings back to the United States. As we continue to fund our supply chain consolidation and globalization strategy in future years, we may elect to perma- nently invest earnings from foreign subsidiaries which would result in a lower overall effective tax rate.

In December 2006, we issued $500 million of Floating Rate Senior Notes and the net proceeds were used to repay the Bridge Loan Facility.

We experienced lower sales volume of Playtex brand intimate apparel sales of $23 million, lower Hanes brand kids’ underwear sales of $21 million, lower licensed men’s underwear sales in the department store channel of $10 million and $3 million lower Just My Size brand sales. The lower net sales were partially offset by higher Hanes brand socks, sleepwear, inti- mate apparel sales and men’s underwear of $11 million, $8 mil- lion, $5 million and $4 million, respectively, and higher Bali brand sales of $12 million. Net sales for the Hanes brand were higher in most key categories, except for kids’ underwear. Hanes men’s underwear benefited from an increased focus on core products and better overall performance at retail during the year-end holiday season. Total sock sales, which now exceed $340 million annually, were higher by 4%, primarily due to new programs at our top two customers. Our Bali brand sales were higher primarily as a result of our Passion for Comfort media campaign launched in 2007. Playtex brand sales were lower in 2007 due to soft department store retail sales and a reduction in retail inventory primarily in the first three quarters of 2007. As a percent of segment net sales, gross profit percentage in the Innerwear segment was 36.8% in 2007 compared to 37.4% in 2006. The gross profit percentage was lower due to unfavorable product sales mix of $19 million, higher excess and obsolete inventory costs of $13 million, unfavorable product sales pricing of $12 million, $9 million in higher cotton costs and unfavorable plant performance of $4 million. The higher excess and obsolete inventory costs in 2007 compared to 2006 are primarily attributable to $9 million of costs associated with the rationalization of our sock product category offerings and $5 mil- lion related to exiting a licensing arrangement for a kids’ underwear program. In addition, gross profit was negatively impacted by higher incentives of $15 million primarily due to a change in the classification of certain sales incentives in 2007 which were classified as media, advertising and promotion expenses in 2006. These higher expenses were partially offset by lower allocations of overhead costs of $15 million, lower duty costs of $14 million primarily due to the receipt of $7 million in duty refunds relating to duties paid several years ago, $10 million of higher sales volume and $10 million in savings from our cost reduction initiatives and prior restructuring actions. The lower Innerwear segment operating profit in 2007 compared to 2006 is primarily attributable to lower gross profit and a higher allocation of selling, general and administrative expenses of $22 million. These higher expenses were partially offset by lower MAP expenses of $11 million, primarily due to a change in the classification of certain sales incentives in 2007 which were classified as MAP expenses in 2006. Our consoli- dated selling, general and administrative expenses before seg- ment allocations were lower in 2007 compared to 2006 primarily due to lower spin off and related charges, savings from prior restructuring actions, lower distribution expenses, amortization of gain on curtailment of postretirement benefits, lower MAP expenses and lower pension expense offset by higher stand alone expenses, lower allocations of overhead costs, higher accelerated depreciation and higher technology consulting expenses.

Overall activewear and retail casualwear net sales were higher by $60 million and $50 million, respectively, in 2007 compared to 2006. The higher net sales were partially offset by lower net sales in our casualwear business as a result of lower sales of promotional t-shirts sold primarily through our embel- lishment channel of $42 million, most of which occurred in the first half of 2007. Champion, our second largest brand, bene- fited from higher penetration in the sporting goods channel, and, together with C9 by Champion, in the mid-tier department store channel. In 2007, we expanded the depth and breadth of distribution in sporting goods with our Champion Double Dry 33 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K performance products. Champion sales have increased by dou- ble-digits in each of the past three years. As a percent of segment net sales, gross profit percentage in the Outerwear segment was 21.6% in 2007 compared to 19.4% in 2006. The improvement in gross profit is primarily attributable to improved plant performance of $18 million, sav- ings from our cost reduction initiatives and prior restructuring actions of $16 million, higher sales volume of $13 million, lower allocations of overhead costs of $9 million and favorable product sales pricing of $8 million offset primarily by higher cotton costs of $11 million, higher excess and obsolete inventory costs of $8 million, higher duty costs of $4 million and higher sales incentives of $4 million. The higher Outerwear segment operating profit in 2007 compared to 2006 is primarily attributable to a higher gross profit and lower MAP expenses of $3 million which was offset by a higher allocation of selling, general and administrative expenses of $28 million. Our consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses before segment allocations were lower in 2007 compared to 2006 primarily due to lower spin off and related charges, savings from prior restructuring actions, lower distribution expenses, amortization of gain on curtailment of postretirement benefits, lower MAP expenses and lower pen- sion expense offset by higher stand alone expenses, lower allocations of overhead costs, higher accelerated depreciation and higher technology consulting expenses.

We expect the trend of declining hosiery sales to continue consis- tent with the overall decline in the industry (although the decline has slowed in recent years) and with shifts in consumer preferences. As a percent of segment net sales, gross profit percentage was 47.2% in 2007 compared to 41.3% in 2006 primarily due to improved plant performance of $10 million, lower sales incentives of $3 million and $5 million in savings from our cost reduction initiatives and prior restructuring actions which was partially offset by $10 million of lower sales volume. Hosiery segment operating profit was higher in 2007 com- pared to 2006 primarily due to a higher gross profit, $6 million in lower MAP expenses and $12 million in lower allocated selling, general and administrative expenses. 34 Our consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses before segment allocations were lower in 2007 com- pared to 2006 primarily due to lower spin off and related charges, savings from prior restructuring actions, lower distribu- tion expenses, amortization of gain on curtailment of postretire- ment benefits, lower MAP expenses and lower pension expense offset by higher stand alone expenses, lower alloca- tions of overhead costs, higher accelerated depreciation and higher technology consulting expenses.

During 2007 we experienced higher net sales, in each case including the impact of foreign currency, in Europe of $17 million, higher net sales of $6 million in our emerging markets in Asia and $3 million of higher sales in Latin America, which were partially offset by lower sales in Canada of $5 million. The growth in our European casualwear business was primarily driven by the strength of the Stedman and Hanes brands that are sold in the embellishment channel. The higher sales in Asia were the result of significant retail distribution gains in China and India. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates had a favorable impact on net sales of $15 million in 2007 compared to 2006 primarily due to the strengthening of the Canadian dollar, Brazilian real and the Euro. As a percent of segment net sales, gross profit percentage was 41.3% in 2007 compared to 40.7% in 2006 primarily due to $4 million of lower sales incentives, $2 million of favorable product sales mix and $2 million of favorable product sales pricing. The higher International segment operating profit in 2007 compared to 2006 is primarily attributable to the higher gross profit from higher sales volume, $3 million in lower MAP expenses and $1 million in lower distribution expenses. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates had a favorable impact on segment operating profit of $3 million in 2007 compared to 2006 primarily due to the strengthening of the Canadian dollar, Brazilian real and the Euro.

The full year change was reflected in 2006 with a $5 million impact on net sales and minimal impact on segment operating profit. Net sales in this segment are generated for the purpose of maintaining asset utilization at certain manufacturing facilities. H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K General Corporate Expenses Cost of Sales General corporate expenses were lower in 2007 compared to 2006 primarily due to lower spin off and related charges of $45 million, amortization of gain on postretirement benefits of $7 million and a $3 million reduction in pension expense related to the final separation of our pension plan assets and liabilities from those of Sara Lee. These lower expenses were partially offset by higher stand alone expenses associated with being an independent company of $7 million and $4 million of higher expenses in numerous other areas.

These savings were offset partially by higher cotton costs, unusual charges primarily to exit certain contracts and low margin product lines, and accelerated depreciation as a result of our announced plans to close four textile and sewing plants in the United States, Puerto Rico and Mexico.

These declines were offset by increases in net sales of $13 mil- lion and $2 million in our Outerwear and International segments, respectively. Overall net sales decreased due to a $28 million impact from our intentional discontinuation of low-margin prod- uct lines in the Outerwear segment and a $12 million decrease in sheer hosiery sales. Additionally, the acquisition of National Textiles, L.L.C. in September 2005 caused a $16 million decrease in our Other segment as sales to this business were included in net sales in periods prior to the acquisition. Finally, we experienced slower sell-through of innerwear products in the mass merchandise and department store retail channels during the latter half of the six months ended December 30, 2006. As a percent of net sales, gross profit percentage decreased to 32.0% for the six months ended December 30, 2006 from 32.9% for the six months ended December 31, 2005. The decrease in gross profit percentage was due to $21 million in accelerated depreciation as a result of our announced plans to close four textile and sewing plants, higher cotton costs of $18 million, $15 million of unusual charges primarily to exit certain contracts and low margin product lines and an $11 million impact from lower manufacturing volume. The higher costs were partially offset by $38 million of net favorable spending from our prior year restructuring actions, manufacturing cost savings initiatives and a favorable impact of shifting certain production to lower cost locations. In addition, the impact on gross profit from lower net sales was $16 million. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Six Months Ended December 30, 2006 Six Months Ended December 31, 2005 Higher (Lower) Percent Change (dollars in thousands) Selling, general and administrative expenses . . . $547,469 $505,866 $41,603 8.2% Selling, general and administrative expenses increased par- tially due to higher non-recurring spin off and related costs of $17 million and incremental costs associated with being an independent company of $10 million, excluding the corporate allocations associated with Sara Lee ownership in the prior year of $21 million. Media, advertising and promotion costs increased $12 million primarily due to unusual charges to exit certain license agreements and additional investments in our brands. Other unusual charges increasing selling, general and administrative expenses by $12 million primarily included certain freight revenue being moved to net sales during the six months ended December 30, 2006 and a reduction of estimated alloca- tions to inventory costs. In addition, we experienced slightly higher spending of approximately $10 million in numerous areas 35 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K such as technology consulting, distribution, severance and mar- ket research, which were partially offset by headcount savings from prior year restructuring actions and a reduction in pension and postretirement expenses.

We also decided to eliminate the medical plan for retirees ages 65 and older as a result of coverage available under the expansion of Medicare with Part D drug coverage and eliminate future postretirement life benefits. The gain on curtail- ment represents the unrecognized amounts associated with prior plan amendments that were being amortized into income over the remaining service period of the participants prior to the December 2006 amendments. We recorded postretirement benefit income related to this plan in 2007, primarily represent- ing the amortization of negative prior service costs, which was partially offset by service costs, interest costs on the accumu- lated benefit obligation and actuarial gains and losses accumu- lated in the plan. We recorded a final gain on curtailment of plan benefits in December 2007. Restructuring (dollars in thousands) Six Months Ended December 30, 2006 Six Months Ended December 31, 2005 Higher (Lower) Percent Change Restructuring . . . . . . . . . . . . $11,278 $(339) $11,617 NM During the six months ended December 30, 2006, we approved actions to close four textile and sewing plants in the United States, Puerto Rico and Mexico and consolidate three distribution centers in the United States. These actions resulted in a charge of $11 million, representing costs associated with the planned termination of 2,989 employees for employee termination and other benefits in accordance with benefit plans previously communicated to the affected employee group. In connection with these restructuring actions, a charge of $21 mil- lion for accelerated depreciation of buildings and equipment is reflected in the “Cost of sales” line of the Consolidated State- ment of Income. These actions were expected to be completed in early 2007. These actions, which are a continuation of our long-term global supply chain globalization strategy, are expected to result in benefits of moving production to lower- cost manufacturing facilities, improved alignment of sewing operations with the flow of textiles, leveraging our large scale in high-volume products and consolidating production capacity. Operating profit for the six months ended December 30, 2006 decreased as compared to the six months ended Decem- ber 31, 2005 primarily as a result of facility closures announced in the six months ended December 30, 2006 and restructuring related costs of $32 million, higher non-recurring spin off and related charges of $17 million, higher costs associated with being an independent company of $10 million, unusual charges of $35 million primarily to exit certain contracts and low margin product lines, charges to exit certain license agreements and additional investments in our brands. In addition, we experi- enced higher cotton and production related costs of $29 million, lower gross margin from lower net sales of $16 million and slightly higher selling, general and administrative spending of approximately $10 million in numerous areas such as technol- ogy consulting, distribution, severance and market research. These higher costs were offset partially by favorable spending from our prior year restructuring actions, manufacturing cost savings initiatives, a favorable impact of shifting certain produc- tion to lower cost locations and lower corporate allocations from Sara Lee totaling $59 million and the gain on curtailment of postretirement benefits of $28 million.

We recognized approximately $1 million loss on early extinguishment of debt related to unamortized debt issuance costs on the Senior Secured Credit Facility for the prepayment of $100 million of principal in December 2006.

As a result, our net interest expense in the six months ended December 30, 2006 was substantially higher than in the comparable period. 36 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K Under the Credit Facilities, we are required to hedge a portion of our floating rate debt to reduce interest rate risk caused by floating rate debt issuance. During the six months ended December 30, 2006, we entered into various hedging arrangements whereby we capped the interest rate on $1 billion of our floating rate debt at 5.75%. We also entered into interest rate swaps tied to the 3-month London Interbank Offered Rate, or “LIBOR,” whereby we fixed the interest rate on an aggre- gate of $500 million of our floating rate debt at a blended rate of approximately 5.16%. Approximately 60% of our total debt outstanding at December 30, 2006 was at a fixed or capped rate. There was no hedge ineffectiveness during the six months ended December 30, 2006 period related to these instruments. In December 2006, we completed the offering of $500 mil- lion aggregate principal amount of the Floating Rate Senior Notes. The Floating Rate Senior Notes bear interest at a per annum rate, reset semiannually, equal to the six month LIBOR plus a margin of 3.375 percent. The proceeds from the offering were used to repay all outstanding borrowings under the Bridge Loan Facility.

The increase in our effec- tive tax rate as an independent company is attributable primarily to the expiration of tax incentives for manufacturing in Puerto Rico of $9 million, which were repealed effective for the periods after July 1, 2006, higher taxes on remittances of foreign earnings for the period of $9 million and $5 million tax effect of lower unremitted earnings from foreign subsidiaries in the six months ended December 30, 2006 taxed at rates less than the U.S. statutory rate.

These changes were partially offset by an unfavorable impact of lower volumes of $18 million, higher cotton costs of $7 million and unusual costs of $8 million primarily associated with exiting certain low margin product lines. The decrease in segment operating profit is primarily attrib- utable to the gross profit impact of the items noted above and higher allocated selling, general and administrative expenses of $8 million. Media, advertising and promotion costs were slightly higher due to changes in license agreements, net of lower media spend on innerwear categories. Our total selling, general and administrative expenses before segment allocations increased as a result of unusual charges, higher stand alone costs as an independent company and higher spending in numerous areas such as technology consulting, distribution, severance and market research, which were partially offset by headcount savings from prior year restructuring actions and a reduction in pension and postretirement expenses. to $33 million of increased sales of activewear and $33 million of increased sales of boys’ fleece as compared to the six months ended December 31, 2005. These changes were partially offset by the $28 million impact of our intentional exit of certain lower margin fleece product lines, lower women’s and girls’ fleece sales of $16 million and $9 million of lower sportshirt, jersey and other fleece sales. As a percent of segment net sales, gross profit percentage declined from 20.7% for the six months ended December 31, 2005 to 19.8% for the six months ended December 30, 2006 primarily as a result of higher cotton costs of $11 million, $5 million associated with exiting certain low margin product lines and higher duty, freight and contractor costs of $6 million, partially offset by $19 million in cost savings initiatives and a favorable impact with shifting production to lower cost locations. The decrease in segment operating profit is primarily attrib- utable to the gross profit impact of the items noted above, higher media advertising and promotion expenses directly attrib- utable to our casualwear products of $15 million and higher allocated selling, general and administrative expenses of $10 mil- lion.

As compared to the six months ended December 31, 2005, overall sales for the Hosiery segment declined 8% due to a continued reduction in sales of L’eggs to mass retailers and food and drug stores and declining sales of Hanes to department stores. Overall, the hosiery market declined 4.5% for the six months ended December 30, 2006.

Segment operating profit . . . . . $197,729 15,236 $195,980 16,574 Net sales in our International segment increased slightly due to higher sales of t-shirts in Europe and higher sales in our emerging markets in China, India and Brazil, partially offset by softer sales in Mexico and lower sales in Japan due to a shift in the launch of fall seasonal products. Changes in foreign cur- rency exchange rates increased net sales by $3 million. As a percent of segment net sales, gross profit percentage increased from 39.7% to 40.2% for the six months ended December 30, 2006. The increase resulted primarily from a $3 million decrease in overall spending and $1 million from positive changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These changes were offset by a $4 million impact from unfavorable manufacturing efficiencies compared to the prior period. The decrease in segment operating profit is attributable to the gross profit impact of the items noted above offset by higher allocated selling, general and administrative expenses of $3 million.

Segment operating profit $19,381 (288) $36,096 1,202 $(16,715) (1,490) (46.3)% NM Net sales in the Other segment decreased primarily due to the acquisition of National Textiles, L.L.C. in September 2005 which caused a $16 million decline as sales to this business were previously included in net sales prior to the acquisition. H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K As a percent of segment net sales, gross profit percentage increased from 4.8% for the six months ended December 31, 2005 to 9.9% for the six months ended December 30, 2006 primarily as a result of favorable manufacturing variances. The decrease in segment operating profit is primarily attrib- utable to higher allocated selling, general and administrative expenses in the current period of $2 million offset by the favorable manufacturing variances noted above. As sales of this segment are generated for the purpose of maintaining asset utilization at certain manufacturing facilities, gross profit and operating profit are lower than those of our other segments. General Corporate Expenses General corporate expenses increased primarily due to higher nonrecurring spin off and related costs of $17 million and higher stand alone costs of $10 million of operating as an independent company.

Net sales were also negatively impacted by $15 million of lower sock sales due to both lower shipment volumes and lower pricing. Gross profit percentage in the Innerwear segment increased from 35.1% in 2005 to 37.2% in 2006, reflecting a $78 million impact of lower charges for slow moving and obsolete invento- ries, lower cotton costs and benefits from prior restructuring actions, partially offset by lower gross margins for socks due to pricing pressure and mix. The increase in Innerwear segment operating profit is prima- rily attributable to the increase in gross margin and a $37 million impact of lower allocated selling expenses and other selling, general and administrative expenses due to headcount reduc- tions. This is partially offset by $21 million related to higher allocated media advertising and promotion costs.

Gross profit percentage in the Outerwear segment increased from 18.9% in 2005 to 20.0% in 2006, reflecting a $72 million impact of lower charges for slow moving and obsolete inventories, lower cotton costs, benefits from prior restructuring actions and the exit of certain lower-margin fleece product lines, partially offset by pricing pressures and an unfavorable sales mix of t-shirts sold in the embellishment channel. The increase in Outerwear segment operating profit is primarily attributable to a higher gross profit percentage and a H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K $7 million impact of lower allocated selling, general and admin- istrative expenses due to the benefits of prior restructuring actions. additional offset was related to increased sales of $7 million due to the acquisition of a Hong Kong based sourcing business at the end of 2005.

Outside unit volumes in the Hosiery segment decreased by 13% in 2006, with an 11% decline in L’eggs volume to mass retailers and food and drug stores and a 22% decline in Hanes volume to department stores. Overall the hosiery market declined 11%. Gross profit percentage in the Hosiery segment increased from 38.0% in 2005 to 40.2% in 2006. The increase resulted primarily from improved product sales mix and pricing. The decrease in Hosiery segment operating profit is prima- rily attributable to lower sales volume.

Changes in foreign currency exchange rates increased net sales by $10 million. Gross profit percentage increased from 39.1% in 2005 to 40.6% in 2006. The increase is due to lower allocated selling, general and administrative expenses and margin improvements in sales in Canada resulting from greater purchasing power for contracted goods. The increase in International segment operating profit is primarily attributable to a $7 million impact of improvements in gross profit in Canada.

As sales in this segment are generated for the purpose of maintaining asset utilization at certain manufac- turing facilities, gross profit and operating profit are lower than those of our other segments. General Corporate Expenses General corporate expenses not allocated to the segments increased in 2006 from 2005 as a result of higher incurred costs related to the spin off. Liquidity and Capital Resources Trends and Uncertainties Affecting Liquidity Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash flows from operating activities and availability under our revolving loan facility. We believe our ability to generate cash from operating activities is one of our fundamental financial strengths. For the year ended December 29, 2007, we generated $359 million in cash from operating activities and have $174 million in cash and cash equivalents at December 29, 2007. Barring unforeseen events, we expect cash flows from operating activities to be consistent in 2008 and in future years. In addition, at Decem- ber 29, 2007, our $500 million revolving loan facility remains undrawn and, after taking into account outstanding letters of credit, has $430 million available for borrowing. We believe that our cash provided from operating activities, together with our available credit capacity, will enable us to comply with the terms of our indebtedness and meet presently foreseeable financial requirements. The following has or is expected to impact liquidity: m we have principal and interest obligations under our long- term debt; m we expect to continue to invest in efforts to improve operating efficiencies and lower costs; m we expect to continue to add new manufacturing capacity in Central America, the Caribbean Basin and Asia; m we may need to decrease the portion of the income of our foreign subsidiaries that is expected to be remitted to the United States, which could significantly decrease our effec- tive income tax rate; and m we expect to repurchase up to 10 million shares of our stock in the open market over the next few years, 1.6 million of which we have purchased as of December 29, 2007. Net sales decreased primarily due to the acquisition of National Textiles, L.L.C. in September 2005 which caused a $72 million decline as sales to this business were previously included in net sales prior to the acquisition. Sales to National Textiles, L.L.C. subsequent to the acquisition of this business are eliminated for purposes of segment reporting. This decrease was partially offset by $40 million in fabric sales to third parties by National Textiles, L.L.C. subsequent to the acquisition. An We expect to continue the restructuring efforts that we have undertaken since the spin off from Sara Lee. The imple- mentation of these efforts, which are designed to improve operating efficiencies and lower costs, has resulted and is likely to continue to result in significant costs and savings. As further plans are developed and approved by management and in some cases our board of directors, we expect to recognize additional restructuring to eliminate duplicative functions within the 41 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K organization and transition a significant portion of our manufac- turing capacity to lower-cost locations. As part of our efforts to consolidate our operations, we also expect to continue to incur costs associated with the integration of our information technol- ogy systems across our company over the next several years. This process involves the replacement of eight independent information technology platforms so that our business functions are served by fewer platforms. While capital spending could vary significantly from year to year, we anticipate that our capital spending over the next three years could be as high as $500 million as we execute our supply chain consolidation and globalization strategy and com- plete the integration and consolidation of our technology sys- tems. Capital spending in any given year over the next three years could be as high as $100 million in excess of our annual depreciation and amortization expense until the completion of actions related to our globalization strategy at which time we would expect our annual capital spending to be relatively comparable to our annual depreciation and amortization expense. The majority of our capital spending will be focused on growing our supply chain operations in Central America, the Caribbean Basin, and Asia. These locations will enable us to expand and leverage our large production scale as we balance our supply chain across hemispheres. In 2007, we acquired our second offshore textile plant, the 1,300-employee textile manu- facturing operations of Industrias Duraflex, S.A. de C.V., in San Juan Opico, El Salvador. This acquisition provides a textile base in Central America from which to expand and leverage our large scale as well as supply our sewing network throughout Central America. Also, we announced plans in 2007 to build a textile production plant in Nanjing, China, which will be our first company-owned textile production facility in Asia. The Nanjing textile facility will enable us to expand and leverage our produc- tion scale in Asia as we balance our supply chain across hemispheres. In December 2007, we acquired the 900- employee sheer hosiery facility in Las Lourdes, El Salvador of Inversiones Bonaventure, S.A. de C.V. For the past 12 years, these operations had been a primary contract sewing operation for Hanes and L’eggs hosiery products. The acquisition stream- lines a critical part of our overall hosiery supply chain and is part of our strategy to operate larger, company-owned production facilities. As we continue to add new manufacturing capacity in Central America, the Caribbean Basin and Asia, our exposure to events that could disrupt our foreign supply chain, including political instability, acts of war or terrorism or other international events resulting in the disruption of trade, disruptions in ship- ping and freight forwarding services, increases in oil prices (which would increase the cost of shipping), interruptions in the availability of basic services and infrastructure and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, is increased. Disruptions in our foreign supply chain could negatively impact our liquidity by interrupting production in offshore facilities, increasing our cost of sales, disrupting merchandise deliveries, delaying receipt of the products into the United States or preventing us from sourcing our products at all. Depending on timing, these events 42 could also result in lost sales, cancellation charges or excessive markdowns. As a result of provisions of the Pension Protection Act of 2006, we are required by law, commencing with plan years beginning after 2007, to make larger contributions to our pension plans than Sara Lee made with respect to these plans in past years. However, the final separation of our pension plan assets and liabilities from those of Sara Lee in 2007 resulted in a higher total amount of pension assets being transferred to us than was originally estimated prior to the spin off which, together with our voluntary contributions of $48 million in 2006 and $48 million in 2007 to our pension plans, has resulted in our U.S. qualified pension plans currently being approximately 97% funded which should result in minimal pension funding require- ments in the future. Consolidated Cash Flows The information presented below for the year ended December 29, 2007 was derived from our consolidated financial statements. The unaudited information presented for the twelve months ended December 30, 2006 is presented due to the change in our fiscal year end and was derived by combining the six months ended July 1, 2006 and the six months ended December 30, 2006.

The higher cash provided from operating activities of $79 million was primarily the result of better management of working capital, partially offset by lower earnings in the business primarily attributable to higher interest expense, a higher effective income tax rate and higher restructur- ing and related charges which was partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses. The net cash pro- vided by operating activities for year ended December 29, 2007 and the year ended December 30, 2006 reflect $48 million in pension contributions each year. Net Cash Used in Investing Activities Net cash used in investing activities was $101 million in the year ended December 29, 2007 compared to $81 million in the year ended December 30, 2006. The higher cash used in investing activities of $20 million was primarily the result of acquiring of the textile manufacturing operations of Industrias Duraflex, S.A. de C.V. in El Salvador and a sheer hosiery sewing H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K facility operation in El Salvador and slightly higher purchases of property and equipment. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities Net cash used in financing activities was $243 million in the year ended December 29, 2007 compared to $556 million in the year ended December 30, 2006. The lower cash used in financing activities of $313 million was primarily the result of the elimination of net transactions with parent companies and related entities subsequent to the spin off from Sara Lee on September 5, 2006, the incurrence of $2.6 billion of indebted- ness offset by payments of $2.4 billion to Sara Lee in connec- tion with the spin off and lower net borrowings and repayments on notes payable in 2007, partially offset by an increase in repayments of debt under credit facilities and share repurchases in 2007. On November 27, 2007, we entered into the Receivables Facility, which provides for borrowings up to $250 million. We used all $250 million of the proceeds from the Receivables Facility to make a prepayment of principal under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. In addition to the prepayment of principal in connection with the Receivables Facility, we repaid $178 million of long-term debt, of which $175 million was a prepayment during the year ended December 29, 2007. We repurchased $44 million of company stock pursuant to a program approved by the Board of Directors in January 2007 which authorizes the repurchase of up to 10 million shares of our common stock. Cash and Cash Equivalents As of December 29, 2007 and December 30, 2006, cash and cash equivalents were $174 million and $156 million, respectively. The higher cash and cash equivalents as of December 29, 2007 was primarily the result of management of working capital, partially offset by lower net income, the repay- ment of debt under credit facilities and the purchase of 1.6 mil- lion shares of our common stock in 2007. Financing Arrangements We believe our financing structure provides a secure base to support our ongoing operations and key business strategies. In November 2007, Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services raised its outlook to ‘positive’ from ‘stable’ and affirmed its ‘B+’ corporate credit rating for us. Standard & Poor’s stated that the revision reflects the positive momentum since the spin off from Sara Lee on September 5, 2006 and also stated that our credit protection measures and operating results are in line with Standard & Poor’s expectations. In connection with the spin off, on September 5, 2006, we entered into the $2.15 billion Senior Secured Credit Facility which includes a $500 million revolving loan facility, or the “Revolving Loan Facility,” that was undrawn at the time of the spin off, the $450 million Second Lien Credit Facility and the $500 million Bridge Loan Facility. As a result of this debt incurrence, the amount of interest expense increased signifi- cantly in periods after the spin off. We paid $2.4 billion of the proceeds of these borrowings to Sara Lee in connection with the consummation of the spin off. As of December 29, 2007, we had $430 million of borrowing availability under the Revolv- ing Loan Facilty after taking into account outstanding letters of credit. The Bridge Loan Facility was paid off in full through the issuance of the $500 million of Floating Rate Senior Notes issued in December 2006. On November 27, 2007, we entered into the Receivables Facility which provides for up to $250 mil- lion in funding accounted for as a secured borrowing, limited to the availability of eligible receivables, and is secured by certain domestic trade receivables. The proceeds from the Receivables Facility were used to pay off a portion of the Senior Secured Credit Facility. Senior Secured Credit Facility The Senior Secured Credit Facility initially provided for aggregate borrowings of $2.15 billion, consisting of: (i) a $250.0 million Term A loan facility (the “Term A Loan Facility”); (ii) a $1.4 billion Term B loan facility (the “Term B Loan Facility”); and (iii) the $500.0 million Revolving Loan Facility that was undrawn as of December 29, 2007. Any issuance of letters of credit would reduce the amount available under the Revolving Loan Facility. As of December 29, 2007, $70 million of standby and trade letters of credit were issued under this facility and $430 million was available for borrowing. As of December 29, 2007, $139 million and $976 million in principal was outstanding under the Term A Loan Facility and Term B Loan Facility, respectively. The Senior Secured Credit Facility is guaranteed by substan- tially all of our existing and future direct and indirect U.S. subsid- iaries, with certain customary or agreed-upon exceptions for certain subsidiaries. We and each of the guarantors under the Senior Secured Credit Facility have granted the lenders under the Senior Secured Credit Facility a valid and perfected first priority (subject to certain customary exceptions) lien and secu- rity interest in the following: m the equity interests of substantially all of our direct and indirect U.S. subsidiaries and 65% of the voting securities of certain foreign subsidiaries; and m substantially all present and future property and assets, real and personal, tangible and intangible, of Hanesbrands and each guarantor, except for certain enumerated interests, and all proceeds and products of such property and assets. The Term A Loan Facility matures on September 5, 2012. The Term A Loan Facility will amortize in an amount per annum equal to the following: year 1—5.00%; year 2—10.00%; year 3— 15.00%; year 4—20.00%; year 5—25.00%; year 6—25.00%. The Term B Loan Facility matures on September 5, 2013. The Term B Loan Facility will be repaid in equal quarterly install- ments in an amount equal to 1% per annum, with the balance due on the maturity date. The Revolving Loan Facility matures on September 5, 2011. All borrowings under the Revolving Loan Facility must be repaid in full upon maturity. Outstanding borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are prepay- able without penalty. As a result of the prepayments of principal 43 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K we have made, we do not have any mandatory payments of principal in 2008. At our option, borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility may be maintained from time to time as (a) Base Rate loans, which shall bear interest at the higher of (i) 1/2 of 1% in excess of the federal funds rate and (ii) the rate published in the Wall Street Journal as the “prime rate” (or equivalent), in each case in effect from time to time, plus the applicable margin in effect from time to time (which is currently 0.50% for the Term A Loan Facility and the Revolving Loan Facility and 0.75% for the Term B Loan Facility), or (b) LIBOR-based loans, which shall bear interest at the LIBO Rate (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility and adjusted for maximum reserves), as deter- mined by the administrative agent for the respective interest period plus the applicable margin in effect from time to time (which is currently 150% for the Term A Loan Facility and the Revolving Loan Facility and 1.75% for the Term B Loan Facility). In February 2007, we entered into an amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Facility, pursuant to which the applicable margin with respect to Term B Loan Facility was reduced from 2.25% to 1.75% with respect to LIBOR-based loans and from 1.25% to 0.75% with respect to loans maintained as Base Rate loans. The amendment also provides that in the event that, prior to February 22, 2008, we: (i) incur a new tranche of replace- ment loans constituting obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility having an effective interest rate margin less than the applicable margin for loans pursuant to the Term B Loan Facility (“Term B Loans”), the proceeds of which are used to repay or return, in whole or in part, principal of the outstanding Term B Loans, (ii) consummate any other amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Facility that reduces the applicable margin for the Term B Loans, or (iii) incur additional Term B loans having an effective interest rate margin less than the applicable margin for Term B Loans, the proceeds of which are used in whole or in part to prepay or repay outstanding Term B Loans, then in any such case, we will pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each Lender with outstanding Term B Loans, a fee in an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate principal amount of all Term B Loans being replaced on such date immediately prior to the effectiveness of such transaction. The Senior Secured Credit Facility requires us to comply with customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants. The Senior Secured Credit Facility requires that we maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum total debt to earnings before income taxes, depreciation expense and amorti- zation, or “EBITDA” ratio. The interest coverage covenant requires that the ratio of our EBITDA for the preceding four fiscal quarters to our consolidated total interest expense for such period shall not be less than a specified ratio for each fiscal quarter ending after December 15, 2006. This ratio was 2:25 to 1 for the quarter ended December 29, 2007 and will increase over time until it reaches 3.25 to 1 for fiscal quarters ending after October 15, 2009. The total debt to EBITDA covenant requires that the ratio of our total debt to our EBITDA for the preceding four fiscal quarters will not be more than a specified ratio for each fiscal quarter ending after December 15, 44 2006. This ratio was 4.50 to 1 for the quarter ended Decem- ber 29, 2007 will decline over time until it reaches 3 to 1 for fiscal quarters ending after October 15, 2009. The method of calculating all of the components used in the covenants is included in the Senior Secured Credit Facility. As of Decem- ber 29, 2007, we were in compliance with all covenants. The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains customary events of default, including nonpayment of principal when due; nonpayment of interest, fees or other amounts after stated grace period; inaccuracy of representations and warranties; violations of covenants; certain bankruptcies and liquidations; any cross-default of more than $50 million; certain judgments of more than $50 million; certain events related to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or “ERISA,” and a change in control (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility). Second Lien Credit Facility The Second Lien Credit Facility provides for aggregate borrowings of $450 million by Hanesbrands’ wholly-owned subsidiary, HBI Branded Apparel Limited, Inc. The Second Lien Credit Facility is unconditionally guaranteed by Hanesbrands and each entity guaranteeing the Senior Secured Credit Facility, subject to the same exceptions and exclusions provided in the Senior Secured Credit Facility. The Second Lien Credit Facility and the guarantees in respect thereof are secured on a second- priority basis (subordinate only to the Senior Secured Credit Facility and any permitted additions thereto or refinancings thereof) by substantially all of the assets that secure the Senior Secured Credit Facility (subject to the same exceptions). Loans under the Second Lien Credit Facility will bear interest in the same manner as those under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, subject to a margin of 2.75% for Base Rate loans and 3.75% for LIBOR based loans. The Second Lien Credit Facility requires us to comply with customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants. The Second Lien Credit Facility requires that we maintain a mini- mum interest coverage ratio and a maximum total debt to earnings before income taxes, depreciation expense and amorti- zation, or “EBITDA” ratio. The interest coverage covenant requires that the ratio of our EBITDA for the preceding four fiscal quarters to our consolidated total interest expense for such period shall not be less than a specified ratio for each fiscal quarter ending after December 15, 2006. This ratio was 1:75 to 1 for the quarter ended December 29, 2007 and will increase over time until it reaches 2.5 to 1 for fiscal quarters ending after April 15, 2009. The total debt to EBITDA covenant requires that the ratio of our total debt to our EBITDA for the preceding four fiscal quarters will not be more than a specified ratio for each fiscal quarter ending after December 15, 2006. This ratio was 5 to 1 for the quarter ended December 29, 2007 will decline over time until it reaches 3.75 to 1 for fiscal quarters ending after October 15, 2009. The method of calculating all of the components used in the covenants is included in the Second Lien Credit Facility. As of December 29, 2007, we were in compliance with all covenants. H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K The Second Lien Credit Facility contains customary events of default, including nonpayment of principal when due; nonpay- ment of interest, fees or other amounts after stated grace period; inaccuracy of representations and warranties; violations of covenants; certain bankruptcies and liquidations; any cross- default of more than $60 million; certain judgments of more than $60 million; certain ERISA-related events; and a change in control (as defined in the Second Lien Credit Facility). The Second Lien Credit Facility matures on March 5, 2014, and includes premiums for prepayment of the loan prior to September 5, 2009 based on the timing of the prepayment. The Second Lien Credit Facility will not amortize and will be repaid in full on its maturity date. Floating Rate Senior Notes On December 14, 2006, we issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Floating Rate Senior Notes. The Floating Rate Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations that rank equal in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness. The Floating Rate Senior Notes bear interest at an annual rate, reset semi-annually, equal to LIBOR plus 3.375%. Interest is payable on the Floating Rate Senior Notes on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The Floating Rate Senior Notes will mature on December 15, 2014. The net proceeds from the sale of the Floating Rate Senior Notes were approximately $492.0 million. As noted above, these proceeds, together with our working capital, were used to repay in full the $500 million outstanding under the Bridge Loan Facility. The Floating Rate Senior Notes are guaranteed by substantially all of our domestic subsidiaries. We may redeem some or all of the Floating Rate Senior Notes at any time on or after December 15, 2008 at a redemp- tion price equal to the principal amount of the Floating Rate Senior Notes plus a premium of 102% if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on December 15, 2008, 101% if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on Decem- ber 15, 2009 and 100% if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on December 15, 2010, as well as any accrued and unpaid interest as of the redemption date. At any time on or prior to December 15, 2008, we may redeem up to 35% of the principal amount of the Floating Rate Senior Notes with the net cash proceeds of one or more sales of certain types of capital stock at a redemption price equal to the product of (x) the sum of (1) 100% and (2) a percentage equal to the per annum rate of interest on the Floating Rate Senior Notes then applica- ble on the date on which the notice of redemption is given, and (y) the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, provided that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Floating Rate Senior Notes originally issued remains outstanding after each such redemption. At any time prior to December 15, 2008, we may also redeem all or a part of the Floating Rate Senior Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Floating Rate Senior Notes redeemed plus a specified premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, to the redemption date. Accounts Receivable Securitization On November 27, 2007, we entered into the Receivables Facility, which provides for up to $250 million in funding accounted for as a secured borrowing, limited to the availability of eligible receivables, and is secured by certain domestic trade receivables. The Receivables Facility will terminate on Novem- ber 27, 2010. Under the terms of the Receivables Facility, the company sells, on a revolving basis, certain domestic trade receivables to HBI Receivables LLC (“Receivables LLC”), a wholly-owned bankruptcy-remote subsidiary that in turn uses the trade receivables to secure the borrowings, which are funded through conduits that issue commercial paper in the short-term market and are not affiliated with us or through committed bank purchasers if the conduits fail to fund. The assets and liabilities of Receivables LLC are fully reflected on our Consolidated Balance Sheet, and the securitization is treated as a secured borrowing for accounting purposes. The borrow- ings under the Receivables Facility remain outstanding through- out the term of the agreement subject to our maintaining sufficient eligible receivables by continuing to sell trade receiv- ables to Receivables LLC unless an event of default occurs. Availability of funding under the facility depends primarily upon the eligible outstanding receivables balance. As of December 29, 2007, we had $250 million outstanding under the Receivables Facility. The outstanding balance under the Receivables Facility is reported on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet in long-term debt based on the three-year term of the agreement and the fact that remittances on the receivables do not auto- matically reduce the outstanding borrowings. We used all $250 million of the proceeds from the Receiv- ables Facility to make a prepayment of principal under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. Unless the conduits fail to fund, the yield on the commercial paper is the conduits’ cost to issue the commercial paper plus certain dealer fees, is considered a financing cost and is included in interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Income. If the conduits fail to fund, the Receivables Facility would be funded through committed bank purchasers, and the interest rate payable at our option at the rate announced from time to time by JPMorgan as its prime rate or at the LIBO Rate (as defined in the Receivables Facility) plus the applicable margin in effect from time to time. The average blended rate utilized for the period from November 27, 2007 through December 29, 2007 was 5.93%. Notes Payable Notes payable were $19.6 million at December 29, 2007 and $14.3 million at December 30, 2006. We have a short-term revolving facility arrangement with a Chinese branch of a U.S. bank amounting to RMB 56 million ($7,661) of which $6,334 was outstanding at December 29, 2007 which accrues interest at 5.59%. Borrowings under the facility accrue interest at the prevailing base lending rates published by the People’s Bank of China from time to time less 10%. We were in compliance with the covenants contained in this facility at December 29, 2007. 45 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K We have a short-term revolving facility arrangement with an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements Indian branch of a U.S. bank amounting to INR 259 million ($6,560) of which $6,245 was outstanding at December 29, 2007 which accrues interest at 10.5%. We were in compliance with the covenants contained in this facility at December 29, 2007. We have other short-term obligations amounting to $6,998 which consisted of a short-term revolving facility arrangement with a Japanese branch of a U.S. bank amounting to JPY 1,100 million ($9,671) of which $2,010 was outstanding at December 29, 2007 which accrues interest at 2.50%, multiple short-term credit facilities and promissory notes acquired as part of our acquisition of a sewing facility in Thailand, totaling THB 200 million ($6,612) of which $1,339 was outstanding at December 29, 2007 which accrues interest at an average rate of 5.59%, and a short-term revolving facility arrangement with a Mexican branch of a U.S. bank amounting to MXN 163 million ($15,024) of which $3,649 was outstanding at December 29, 2007 which accrues interest at 9.42%. We were in compliance with the covenants contained in the facilities at December 29, 2007. In addition, we have short-term revolving credit facilities in various other locations that can be drawn on from time to time amounting to $64 million of which $0 was outstanding at December 29, 2007. In connection with the acquisition of Industrias Duraflex, S.A. de C.V. in August, 2007, we issued a non-interest bearing note payable to the former owners in the amount of $27 million that was paid in full as of December 29, 2007. Derivatives We are required under the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the 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 December 29, 2007, we have outstand- ing hedging arrangements whereby we capped the interest rate on $950 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 at a blended rate of approximately 5.04%. Approximately 67% of our total debt outstanding at December 29, 2007 is at a fixed or capped rate. There was no hedge ineffectiveness during the current period related to these instruments. We use forward exchange and option contracts to reduce the effect of fluctuating foreign currencies for a portion of our anticipated short-term foreign currency-denominated transactions. Cotton is the primary raw material we use to manufacture many of our products. We generally purchase our raw materials at market prices. In the year ended July 1, 2006, we started to use commodity financial instruments, options and forward con- tracts to hedge the price of cotton, for which there is a high correlation between the hedged item and the hedged instru- ment. We generally do not use commodity financial instruments to hedge other raw material commodity prices. 46 We engage in off-balance sheet arrangements that we believe are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition and results of operations. These off- balance sheet arrangements include operating leases for manu- facturing facilities, warehouses, office space, vehicles and machinery and equipment. Minimum operating lease obligations are scheduled to be paid as follows: $35.4 million in 2008, $29.6 million in 2009, $25.0 million in 2010, $20.2 million in 2011, $15.1 million in 2012 and $35.2 million thereafter. Future Contractual Obligations and Commitments The following table contains information on our contractual obligations and commitments as of December 29, 2007.

(2) “Purchase obligations,” as disclosed in the table, are obligations to purchase goods and services in the ordinary course of business for production and inventory needs (such as raw materials, supplies, packaging, and manufacturing arrangements), capital expendi- tures, marketing services, royalty-bearing license agreement payments and other professional services. This table only includes purchase obligations for which we have agreed upon a fixed or minimum quantity to purchase, a fixed, minimum or variable pricing arrangement, and an approximate delivery date. Actual cash expenditures relating to these obligations may vary from the amounts shown in the table above. We enter into purchase obligations when terms or conditions are favorable or when a long-term commitment is necessary. Many of these arrangements are cancelable after a notice period without a significant penalty. This table omits purchase obligations that did not exist as of December 29, 2007, as well as obligations for accounts payable and accrued liabilities recorded on the balance sheet. (3) Represents the projected payment for long-term liabilities recorded on the balance sheet for deferred compensation, deferred income and unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with the FASB Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”). Due to our current funded status of our pension plans, we are not obligated to make any contributions to the plan in the next year. The future timing of the pension funding obligations associated with our defined benefit pension and post-retirement plans beyond the next year is dependent on a number of factors including investment results and other factors that contribute to future pension expense and cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. A discussion of our pension and postretirement plans is included in Notes 15 and 16 to our Consolidated Financial Statements. Our obligations for employee health and property and casualty losses are also excluded from the table. H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . Pension Plans In conjunction with the spin off which occurred on Septem- ber 5, 2006, we established the Hanesbrands Inc. Pension and Retirement Plan, which assumed the portion of the under- funded liabilities and the portion of the assets of pension plans sponsored by Sara Lee that relate to our employees. In addition, we assumed sponsorship of certain other Sara Lee plans and will continue sponsorship of the Playtex Apparel Inc. Pension Plan and the National Textiles, L.L.C. Pension Plan. Since the spin off, we have voluntarily contributed $96 mil- lion to our pension plans. Additionally, during 2007 we com- pleted the separation of our pension plan assets and liabilities from those of Sara Lee in accordance with governmental regulations, which resulted in a higher total amount of pension plan assets of approximately $74 million being transferred to us than originally was estimated prior to the spin off. Prior to spin off, the fair value of plan assets included in the annual valua- tions represented a best estimate based upon a percentage allocation of total assets of the Sara Lee trust. Our U.S. qualified pension plans are approximately 97% funded as of Decem- ber 29, 2007. Share Repurchase Program On February 1, 2007, we announced that our Board of Directors granted authority for the repurchase of up to 10 million shares of our common stock. Share repurchases are made periodically in open-market transactions, and are subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other factors. Addi- tionally, management has been granted authority to establish a trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act in connec- tion with share repurchases, which will allow us to repurchase shares in the open market during periods in which the stock trading window is otherwise closed for our company and certain of our officers and employees pursuant to our insider trading policy. During 2007, we purchased 1.6 million shares of our common stock at a cost of $44.5 million (average price of $27.55). The primary objective of our share repurchase program is to reduce the impact of dilution caused by the exercise of options and vesting of stock unit awards. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates We have chosen accounting policies that we believe are appropriate to accurately and fairly report our operating results and financial position in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We apply these accounting policies in a consistent manner. Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2, titled “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to our Consolidated Financial Statements. The application of critical accounting policies requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical and other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and may retain outside consultants to assist in our evaluation. If actual results 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K ultimately differ from previous estimates, the revisions are included in results of operations in the period in which the actual amounts become known. The critical accounting policies that involve the most significant management judgments and estimates used in preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements, or are the most sensitive to change from outside factors, are the following: Sales Recognition and Incentives We recognize revenue when (i) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, (ii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, (iii) title and the risks of ownership have been transferred to the customer and (iv) collection of the receivable is reasonably assured, which occurs primarily upon shipment. We record provisions for any uncollectible amounts based upon our histor- ical collection statistics and current customer information. Our management reviews these estimates each quarter and makes adjustments based upon actual experience. Note 2(d), titled “Summary of Significant Accounting Pol- icies—Sales Recognition and Incentives,” to our Consolidated Financial Statements describes a variety of sales incentives that we offer to resellers and consumers of our products. Measuring the cost of these incentives requires, in many cases, estimating future customer utilization and redemption rates. We use histor- ical data for similar transactions to estimate the cost of current incentive programs. Our management reviews these estimates each quarter and makes adjustments based upon actual experi- ence and other available information. For the year ended December 29, 2007, we changed the manner in which we accounted for cooperative advertising that resulted in a change in the classification from media, advertising and promotion expenses to a reduction of sales. This change in classification was made in accordance with EITF 01-9, Accounting for Consid- eration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products), because the estimated fair value of the identifiable benefit was no longer obtained beginning in 2007. Catalog Expenses We incur expenses for printing catalogs for our products to aid in our sales efforts. We initially record these expenses as a prepaid item and charge it against selling, general and adminis- trative expenses over time as the catalog is used. Expenses are recognized at a rate that approximates our historical experience with regard to the timing and amount of sales attributable to a catalog distribution. Inventory Valuation We carry inventory on our balance sheet at the estimated lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first- out, or “FIFO,” method for our inventories at December 29, 2007. We carry obsolete, damaged, and excess inventory at the net realizable value, which we determine by assessing historical recovery rates, current market conditions and our future market- ing and sales plans. Because our assessment of net realizable value is made at a point in time, there are inherent uncertainties related to our value determination. Market factors and other conditions underlying the net realizable value may change, resulting in further reserve requirements. A reduction in the 47 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K carrying amount of an inventory item from cost to market value creates a new cost basis for the item that cannot be reversed at a later period. While we believe that adequate write-downs for inventory obsolescence have been provided in the Consoli- dated Financial Statements, consumer tastes and preferences will continue to change and we could experience additional inventory write-downs in the future. Rebates, discounts and other cash consideration received from a vendor related to inventory purchases are reflected as reductions in the cost of the related inventory item, and are therefore reflected in cost of sales when the related inventory item is sold. Income Taxes Prior to spin off on September 5, 2006, all income taxes were computed and reported on a separate return basis as if we were not part of Sara Lee. Deferred taxes were recognized for the future tax effects of temporary differences between financial and income tax reporting using tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Net operating loss carryforwards had been determined in our Con- solidated Financial Statements as if we were separate from Sara Lee, resulting in a different net operating loss carryforward amount than reflected by Sara Lee. Given our continuing losses in certain geographic locations on a separate return basis, a valuation allowance has been established for the deferred tax assets relating to these specific locations. Federal income taxes are provided on that portion of our income of foreign subsidiar- ies that is expected to be remitted to the United States and be taxable, reflecting the historical decisions made by Sara Lee with regards to earnings permanently reinvested in foreign jurisdictions. In periods after the spin off, we may make different decisions as to the amount of earnings permanently reinvested in foreign jurisdictions, due to anticipated cash flow or other business requirements, which may impact our federal income tax provision and effective tax rate. We periodically estimate the probable tax obligations using historical experience in tax jurisdictions and our informed judg- ment. There are inherent uncertainties related to the interpreta- tion of tax regulations in the jurisdictions in which we transact business. The judgments and estimates made at a point in time may change based on the outcome of tax audits, as well as changes to, or further interpretations of, regulations. Income tax expense is adjusted in the period in which these events occur, and these adjustments are included in our Consolidated State- ments of Income. If such changes take place, there is a risk that our effective tax rate may increase or decrease in any period. In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), which became effective during the year ended December 29, 2007. FIN 48 addresses the determi- nation of how tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FIN 48, a company must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The 48 tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. In conjunction with the spin off, we and Sara Lee entered into a tax sharing agreement, which allocates responsibilities between us and Sara Lee for taxes and certain other tax matters. Under the tax sharing agreement, Sara Lee generally is liable for all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income taxes attributable to us with respect to taxable periods ending on or before September 5, 2006. Sara Lee also is liable for income taxes attributable to us with respect to taxable periods begin- ning before September 5, 2006 and ending after September 5, 2006, but only to the extent those taxes are allocable to the portion of the taxable period ending on September 5, 2006. We are generally liable for all other taxes attributable to us. Changes in the amounts payable or receivable by us under the stipula- tions of this agreement may impact our tax provision in any period. Within 180 days after Sara Lee files its final consolidated tax return for the period that includes September 5, 2006, Sara Lee is required to deliver to us a computation of the amount of deferred taxes attributable to our United States and Canadian operations that would be included on our balance sheet as of September 6, 2006. If substituting the amount of deferred taxes as finally determined for the amount of estimated deferred taxes that were included on that balance sheet at the time of the spin off causes a decrease in the net book value reflected on that balance sheet, then Sara Lee will be required to pay us the amount of such decrease. If such substitution causes an increase in the net book value reflected on that balance sheet, then we will be required to pay Sara Lee the amount of such increase. For purposes of this computation, our deferred taxes are the amount of deferred tax benefits (including deferred tax consequences attributable to deductible temporary differences and carryforwards) that would be recognized as assets on our balance sheet computed in accordance with GAAP, but without regard to valuation allowances, less the amount of deferred tax liabilities (including deferred tax consequences attributable to deductible temporary differences) that would be recognized as liabilities on our balance sheet computed in accordance with GAAP, but without regard to valuation allowances. Neither we nor Sara Lee will be required to make any other payments to the other with respect to deferred taxes. Stock Compensation We established the Hanesbrands Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan of 2006, the (“Omnibus Incentive Plan”) to award stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, performance shares and cash to our employees, non-employee directors and employees of our subsidiaries to promote the interest of our company and incent performance and retention of employees. We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. Under SFAS 123(R), stock-based compensation is estimated at the grant date based on the H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K award’s fair value and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. Estimation of stock-based compensa- tion for stock options granted, utilizing the Black-Scholes option- pricing model, requires various highly subjective assumptions including volatility and expected option life. We use the volatility of peer companies for a period of time that is comparable to the expected life of the option to determine volatility assumptions. We have utilized the simplified method outlined in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 to estimate expected lives of options granted during the period. SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 110, which was issued in December 2007, amends SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 and gives a limited extension on using the simplified method for valuing stock option grants to eligible public companies that do not have sufficient historical exercise patterns on options granted to employees. Further, as required under SFAS No. 123(R), we estimate forfeitures for stock-based awards granted, which are not expected to vest. If any of these inputs or assumptions changes significantly, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. Defined Benefit Pension and Postretirement Healthcare and Life Insurance Plans For a discussion of our net periodic benefit cost, plan obligations, plan assets, and how we measure the amount of these costs, see Notes 15 and 16 titled “Defined Benefit Pension Plans” and “Postretirement Healthcare and Life Insur- ance Plans,” respectively, to our Consolidated Financial Statements. In conjunction with the spin off from Sara Lee which occurred on September 5, 2006, we established the Hanes- brands Inc. Pension and Retirement Plan, which assumed the portion of the underfunded liabilities and the portion of the assets of pension plans sponsored by Sara Lee that relate to our employees. In addition, we assumed sponsorship of certain other Sara Lee plans and will continue sponsorship of the Playtex Apparel Inc. Pension Plan and the National Textiles, L.L.C. Pension Plan. As of January 1, 2006, the benefits under these plans were frozen. Since the spin off, we have voluntarily contributed $96 million to our pension plans. Additionally, during 2007 we completed the separation of our pension plan assets and liabilities from those of Sara Lee in accordance with governmental regulations, which resulted in a higher total amount of pension plan assets of approximately $74 million being transferred to us than originally was estimated prior to the spin off. As a result, our U.S. qualified pension plans are approximately 97% funded as of December 29, 2007. In December 2006, we changed the postretirement plan benefits to (a) pass along a higher share of retiree medical costs to all retirees effective February 1, 2007, (b) eliminate company contributions toward premiums for retiree medical coverage effective December 1, 2007, (c) eliminate retiree medical cover- age options for all current and future retirees age 65 and older and (d) eliminate future postretirement life benefits. Gains associated with these plan amendments were amortized throughout the year ended December 29, 2007 in anticipation of the effective termination of the medical plan on December 1, 2007. On December 1, 2007 we effectively terminated all retiree medical coverage. A final gain on curtailment of $32 mil- lion was recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income in the fourth quarter of the year ended December 29, 2007. Concurrently with the termination of the existing plan, we established a new access only plan that is fully paid by the participants. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or “FASB,” issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Account- ing for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—An Amendment of FASB No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)” (“SFAS 158”). SFAS 158 requires that the funded status of defined benefit postretirement plans be recognized on a compa- ny’s balance sheet, and changes in the funded status be reflected in comprehensive income, effective fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006, which we adopted as of and for the six months ended December 30, 2006. The impact of adopting the funded status provisions of SFAS 158 was an increase in assets of $1 million, an increase in liabilities of $26 million and a pretax increase in the accumulated other comprehensive loss of $32 million. SFAS 158 also requires companies to measure the funded status of the plan as of the date of its fiscal year end, effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. We adopted the measurement date provision during the year ended December 29, 2007, which had an immaterial impact on begin- ning retained earnings, accumulated other comprehensive income and pension liabilities. The net periodic cost of the pension and postretirement plans is determined using projections and actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate, the long- term rate of asset return, and medical trend (rate of growth for medical costs). The net periodic pension and postretirement income or expense is recognized in the year incurred. Gains and losses, which occur when actual experience differs from actuar- ial assumptions, are amortized over the average future service period of employees. Our policies regarding the establishment of pension assumptions are as follows: m In determining the discount rate, we utilized the Citigroup Pension Discount Curve (rounded to the nearest 10 basis points) in order to determine a unique interest rate for each plan and match the expected cash flows for each plan. m Salary increase assumptions were based on historical expe- rience and anticipated future management actions. The salary increase assumption applies to the Canadian plans and portions of the Hanesbrands nonqualified retirement plans, as benefits under these plans are not frozen. m In determining the long-term rate of return on plan assets we applied a proportionally weighted blend between assum- ing the historical long-term compound growth rate of the plan portfolio would predict the future returns of similar investments, and the utilization of forward looking assumptions. m Retirement rates were based primarily on actual experience while standard actuarial tables were used to estimate mortality. 49 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K Trademarks and Other Identifiable Intangibles In evaluating the recoverability of goodwill, we estimate the Trademarks and computer software are our primary identifi- able intangible assets. We amortize identifiable intangibles with finite lives, and we do not amortize identifiable intangibles with indefinite lives. We base the estimated useful life of an identifi- able intangible asset upon a number of factors, including the effects of demand, competition, expected changes in distribu- tion channels and the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain future cash flows. As of December 29, 2007, the net book value of trademarks and other identifiable intangi- ble assets was $151 million, of which we are amortizing the entire balance. We anticipate that our amortization expense for 2008 will be $10 million. We evaluate identifiable intangible assets subject to amortiza- tion for impairment using a process similar to that used to evaluate asset amortization described below under “—Depreciation and Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment.” We assess identi- fiable intangible assets not subject to amortization for impairment at least annually and more often as triggering events occur. In order to determine the impairment of identifiable intangible assets not subject to amortization, we compare the fair value of the intangible asset to its carrying amount. We recognize an impair- ment loss for the amount by which an identifiable intangible asset’s carrying value exceeds its fair value. We measure a trademark’s fair value using the royalty saved method. We determine the royalty saved method by evaluating various factors to discount anticipated future cash flows, includ- ing operating results, business plans, and present value tech- niques. The rates we use to discount cash flows are based on interest rates and the cost of capital at a point in time. Because there are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and our judgment in applying them, the assumptions underlying the impairment analysis may change in such a manner that impair- ment in value may occur in the future. Such impairment will be recognized in the period in which it becomes known. Goodwill As of December 29, 2007, we had $310 million of goodwill. We do not amortize goodwill, but we assess for impairment at least annually and more often as triggering events occur. During the third quarter of the year ended December 29, 2007, we changed the timing of our annual goodwill impairment testing to the first day of the third fiscal quarter. Prior to year ended December 29, 2007, our policy was to perform the test at the end of the second fiscal quarter which coincided with Sara Lee’s policy before the spin off. The change in the annual goodwill impairment testing date was made following the change in our fiscal year-end from the Saturday closest to June 30 to the Saturday closest to December 31 and results in the testing continuing to be performed in the middle of our fiscal year. In addition, this change in accounting principle better aligns the annual goodwill impairment test with the timing of our annual long range planning cycle. The change in accounting principle does not delay, accelerate or avoid an impairment charge. Accordingly, we believe that the change in accounting principle described above is preferable under the circumstances. fair value of our reporting units. We have determined that our reporting units are at the operating segment level. We rely on a number of factors to determine the fair value of our reporting units and evaluate various factors to discount anticipated future cash flows, including operating results, business plans, and present value techniques. As discussed above under “Trade- marks and Other Identifiable Intangibles,” there are inherent uncertainties related to these factors, and our judgment in applying them and the assumptions underlying the impairment analysis may change in such a manner that impairment in value may occur in the future. Such impairment will be recognized in the period in which it becomes known. We evaluate the recoverability of goodwill using a two-step process based on an evaluation of reporting units. The first step involves a comparison of a reporting unit’s fair value to its carrying value. In the second step, if the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, we compare the goodwill’s implied fair value and its carrying value. If the goodwill’s carrying value exceeds its implied fair value, we recognize an impairment loss in an amount equal to such excess. Depreciation and Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment We state property, plant and equipment at its historical cost, and we compute depreciation using the straight-line method over the asset’s life. We estimate an asset’s life based on historical experience, manufacturers’ estimates, engineering or appraisal evaluations, our future business plans and the period over which the asset will economically benefit us, which may be the same as or shorter than its physical life. Our policies require that we periodically review our assets’ remaining depre- ciable lives based upon actual experience and expected future utilization. A change in the depreciable life is treated as a change in accounting estimate and the accelerated depreciation is accounted for in the period of change and future periods. Based upon current levels of depreciation, the average remain- ing depreciable life of our net property other than land is five years. We test an asset for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying value may not be recoverable. Such events include significant adverse changes in business climate, several periods of operating or cash flow losses, forecasted continuing losses or a current expectation that an asset or asset group will be disposed of before the end of its useful life. We evaluate an asset’s recoverability by comparing the asset or asset group’s net carrying amount to the future net undiscounted cash flows we expect such asset or asset group will generate. If we determine that an asset is not recoverable, we recognize an impairment loss in the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its estimated fair value. When we recognize an impairment loss for an asset held for use, we depreciate the asset’s adjusted carrying amount over its remaining useful life. We do not restore previously recognized impairment losses if circumstances change. 50 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 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 manage- ment’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. Assets and Liabilities Acquired in Business Combinations We account for business acquisitions using the purchase method, which requires us to allocate the cost of an acquired business to the acquired assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. We recognize the excess of an acquired business’s cost over the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities as goodwill as discussed below under “Goodwill.” We use a variety of information sources to determine the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities. We generally use third-party appraisers to determine the fair value and lives of property and identifiable intangibles, consulting actuaries to determine the fair value of obligations associated with defined benefit pension plans, and legal counsel to assess obligations associated with legal and environmental claims. Recently Issued Accounting Standards Fair Value Measurements The FASB has issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measure- ments, or “SFAS 157,” which provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The standard also responds to investors’ requests for more information about (1) the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, (2) the information used to measure fair value, and (3) the effect that fair-value measurements have on earnings. SFAS 157 will apply whenever another standard requires (or permits) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The standard does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, of SFAS 157 on our results of operations and financial position. Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The provisions of SFAS 159 become effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, that SFAS 159 will have on our results of operations and financial position. Business Combinations In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”). The objective of SFAS 141 is to improve the relevance, representational faithful- ness, and comparability of the information that a company provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. Under SFAS 141R, a company is required to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, contractual contingen- cies, contingent consideration measured at their fair value at the acquisition date. It further required that research and develop- ment assets acquired in a business combination that have no alternative future use to be measured at their acquisition-date fair value and then immediately charged to expense, and that acqui- sition-related costs are to be recognized separately from the acquisition and expensed as incurred. Among other changes, this statement also required that “negative goodwill” be recognized in earnings as a gain attributable to the acquisition, and any deferred tax benefits resulting from a business combination are recognized in income from continuing operations in the period of the combination. SFAS 141R is effective for business combina- tions for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after Decem- ber 15, 2008. Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial State- ments—an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). The objective of this Statement is to improve the relevance, compa- rability, and transparency of the financial information that a company provides in its consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 requires a company to clearly identify and present ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the company in the consolidated financial statements within the equity section but separate from the company’s equity. It also requires the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income; changes in ownership interest be accounted for simi- larly, as equity transactions; and when a subsidiary is deconso- lidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary and the gain or loss on the deconsolidation of the subsidiary be measured at fair value. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact that SFAS 160 will have on our results of operations and financial position. 51 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures ITEM 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary about Market Risk Data We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. Our risk management control system uses analytical techniques including market value, sensitivity analysis and value at risk estimations. Our financial statements required by this item are contained on pages F-1 through F-45 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. See Item 15(a)(1) for a listing of financial statements provided. Foreign Exchange Risk We sell the majority of our products in transactions denom- inated in U.S. dollars; however, we purchase some raw materi- als, pay a portion of our wages and make other payments in our supply chain in foreign currencies. Our exposure to foreign exchange rates exists primarily with respect to the Canadian dollar, Mexican peso and Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar. We use foreign exchange forward and option contracts to hedge material 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 December 29, 2007, the potential change in fair value of foreign currency derivative instruments, assuming a 10% adverse change in the underlying currency price, was $4.0 million. Interest Rates We are required under the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the 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 December 29, 2007, we have outstand- ing hedging arrangements whereby we capped the interest rate on $950 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 at a blended rate of approximately 5.04%. Approximately 67% of our total debt outstanding at December 29, 2007 is at a fixed or capped rate. After giving effect to these arrangements, a 25-basis point movement in the annual interest rate charged on the outstand- ing debt balances as of December 29, 2007 would result in a change in annual interest expense of $4.3 million. ITEM 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure None ITEM 9A. Controls and Procedures Disclosure Controls and Procedures As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), our manage- ment, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure con- trols and procedures were effective. Internal Control over Financial Reporting Our management is responsible for establishing and maintain- ing adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting and the report of indepen- dent registered public accounting firm are incorporated by refer- ence to pages F-2 and F-3 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting In connection with the evaluation required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(d), our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that no changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Commodities Cotton is the primary raw material we use to manufacture ITEM 9B. Other Information None. many of our products. In addition, fluctuations in crude oil or petroleum prices may influence the prices of other raw materi- als we use to manufacture our products, such as chemicals, dyestuffs, polyester yarn and foam. We generally purchase our raw materials at market prices. In the year ended July 1, 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 generally do not use commodity financial instruments to hedge other raw material commodity prices. At December 29, 2007, the potential change in fair value of cotton commodity derivative instruments, assuming a 10% adverse change in the underlying commodity price, was $1.2 million. 52 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K PART III ITEM 10.

F-1 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Management of Hanesbrands Inc. (“Hanesbrands”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a (cid:2) 15(f) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Hanesbrands’ system of internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of Hanesbrands; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and that receipts and expenditures of Hanesbrands are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of Hanesbrands; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of Hanesbrands’ assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Management has evaluated the effectiveness of Hanesbrands’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 29, 2007 based upon criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on our evaluation, management determined that Hanesbrands’ internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 29, 2007. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 29, 2007 has been audited by Pricewater- houseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. F-2 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Hanesbrands Inc.: In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Hanesbrands Inc. at December 29, 2007 and December 30, 2006 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 29, 2007, the six months ended December 30, 2006, and each of the two years in the period ended July 1, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 29, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits (which was an integrated audit in 2007). We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions. As discussed in Notes 15 and 16 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for its defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans effective December 30, 2006 and changed the measurement date for its plan assets and benefit obligations effective December 29, 2007. A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. /s/ PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP Greensboro, North Carolina February 8, 2008 F-3 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K Consolidated Statements of Income (in thousands, except per share amounts) Year Ended December 29, 2007 Six Months Ended December 30, 2006 Years Ended July 1, 2006 July 2, 2005 Net sales . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

In con- nection with the spin off, Sara Lee incorporated Hanesbrands Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Hanesbrands” and, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”), to which it would transfer the assets and liabilities related to the Branded Apparel Americas and Asia Business. On August 31, 2006, Sara Lee transferred to the Company substantially all the assets and liabilities, at historical cost, comprising the Branded Apparel Americas and Asia Business. On September 5, 2006, as a condition to the distribution to Sara Lee’s stockholders of all of the outstanding shares of the common stock of Hanesbrands, the Company distributed to Sara Lee a cash dividend payment of $1,950,000 and repaid a loan from Sara Lee in the amount of $450,000, and Sara Lee distributed to its stockholders all of the outstanding shares of Hanesbrands’ common stock, with each stockholder receiving one share of Hanesbrands’ common stock for each eight shares of Sara Lee’s common stock that they held as of the August 18, 2006 record date. As a result of such distribution, Sara Lee ceased to own any equity interest in the Company and the Company became an independent, separately traded, publicly held company. The Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the consoli- dated operations of Hanesbrands Inc. and its subsidiaries as a separate, stand-alone entity subsequent to September 5, 2006, in addition to the historical operations of the Branded Apparel Americas and Asia Business which were operated as part of Sara Lee prior to the spin off. Under Sara Lee’s ownership, certain of the Branded Apparel Americas and Asia Business’s operations were divisions of Sara Lee and not separate legal entities, while the Branded Apparel Americas and Asia Busi- ness’s foreign operations were subsidiaries of Sara Lee. A direct ownership relationship did not exist among the various units comprising the Branded Apparel Americas and Asia Business prior to the spin off on September 5, 2006. Subsequent to the spin off on September 5, 2006, the Company began accumulat- ing its retained earnings and recognized the par value and paid-in-capital in connection with the issuance of approximately 96,306 shares of common stock. Prior to the spin off on September 5, 2006, the Branded Apparel Americas and Asia Business utilized the services of Sara Lee for certain functions. These services included providing working capital, as well as certain legal, finance, internal audit, financial reporting, tax advisory, insurance, global information technology, environmental matters and human resource ser- vices, including various corporate-wide employee benefit pro- grams. The cost of these services has been allocated to the Company and included in the Consolidated Financial Statements for periods prior to the spin off on September 5, 2006. The F-8 allocations were determined on the basis which Sara Lee and the Branded Apparel Americas and Asia Business considered to be reasonable reflections of the utilization of services provided by Sara Lee. A more detailed discussion of the relationship with Sara Lee prior to the spin off on September 5, 2006, including a description of the costs which have been allocated to the Branded Apparel Americas and Asia Business, as well as the method of allocation, is included in Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Management believes the assumptions underlying the Con- solidated Financial Statements for these periods are reasonable. However, the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein for the periods through September 5, 2006 do not necessarily reflect the Branded Apparel Americas and Asia Business’s operations and cash flows in the future or what its results of operations and cash flows would have been had the Branded Apparel Americas and Asia Business been a stand-alone com- pany during the periods presented. In October 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a change in the Company’s fiscal year end from the Saturday closest to June 30 to the Saturday closest to Decem- ber 31. As a result of this change, the Consolidated Financial Statements include presentation of the transition period begin- ning on July 2, 2006 and ending on December 30, 2006. Fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005 included 52 weeks. Unless other- wise stated, references to years relate to fiscal years.

Excluded from the accounts of the Company are Sara Lee entities which maintained legal ownership of certain of the Company’s divisions (Parent Companies) until the spin off on September 5, 2006. The results of companies acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from the effective date of acquisition, or up to the date of disposal. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46, which addresses consolidation by business enterprises of VIEs that either: (1) do not have sufficient equity investment at risk to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or (2) have equity investors that lack an essential characteristic of a controlling financial interest. Throughout calendar 2003, the FASB released numerous proposed and final FASB Staff Positions (FSPs) regarding FIN 46, which both clarified and modified FIN 46’s provisions. In December 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46-R), which replaced FIN 46. FIN 46-R retains many of the basic concepts introduced in FIN 46; however, it also introduced a new scope exception for certain types of entities that qualify as a “busi- ness” as defined in FIN 46-R, revised the method of calculating expected losses and residual returns for determination of the primary beneficiary, included new guidance for assessing vari- able interests, and codified certain FSPs on FIN 46. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 46-R in 2004. The Company consolidates one VIE, an Israeli manufacturer and supplier of yarn. The Company has a 49% ownership interest in the Israeli joint venture, however, based upon certain terms of the supply contract, the Company has a disproportion- ate share of expected losses and residual returns. The Company continues to consolidate this VIE through the year ended December 29, 2007. The effect of consolidating this VIE was the inclusion of $11,903 of total assets and $8,351 of total liabilities at December 29, 2007 and $10,632 of total assets and $8,290 of total liabilities at December 30, 2006 on the Consoli- dated Balance Sheets. The Company reported a minority interest of $5,749 and $5,574 in the “Other noncurrent liabilities” line of the Consoli- dated Balance Sheets at December 29, 2007 and December 30, 2006, respectively. The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make use of estimates and assump- tions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, certain financial statement disclosures at the date of the finan- cial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may vary from these estimates. (c) Foreign Currency Translation Foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates existing at the respective balance sheet dates. Translation adjustments result- ing from fluctuations in exchange rates are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss within stockholders’ equity. The Company translates the results of operations of its foreign operations at the average exchange rates during the respective periods. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions, the amounts of which are not material for any of the periods presented, are included in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line of the Consolidated Statements of Income. (d) Sales Recognition and Incentives The Company recognizes revenue when (i) there is persua- sive evidence of an arrangement, (ii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, (iii) title and the risks of ownership have been transferred to the customer and (iv) collection of the receivable is reasonably assured, which occurs primarily upon shipment. The Company records a sales reduction for returns and allow- ances based upon historical return experience. The Company earns royalty revenues through license agreements with manu- facturers of other consumer products that incorporate certain of the Company’s brands. The Company accrues revenue earned under these contracts based upon reported sales from the licensee. The Company offers a variety of sales incentives to resellers and consumers of its products, and the policies regard- ing the recognition and display of these incentives within the Consolidated Statements of Income are as follows: Discounts, Coupons, and Rebates The Company recognizes the cost of these incentives at the later of the date at which the related sale is recognized or the date at which the incentive is offered. The cost of these incentives is estimated using a number of factors, including historical utilization and redemption rates. All cash incentives of this type are included in the determination of net sales. The Company includes incentives offered in the form of free prod- ucts in the determination of cost of sales. F-9 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) Year ended December 29, 2007, six months ended December 30, 2006 and years ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005 (amounts in thousands, except per share data) Volume-Based Incentives These incentives typically involve rebates or refunds of cash that are redeemable only if the reseller completes a specified number of sales transactions. Under these incentive programs, the Company estimates the anticipated rebate to be paid and allocates a portion of the estimated cost of the rebate to each underlying sales transaction with the customer. The Company includes these amounts in the determination of net sales. Cooperative Advertising Under these arrangements, the Company agrees to reim- burse the reseller for a portion of the costs incurred by the reseller to advertise and promote certain of the Company’s products. The Company recognizes the cost of cooperative advertising programs in the period in which the advertising and promotional activity first takes place. For the year ended December 29, 2007, the Company changed the manner in which it accounted for cooperative advertising that resulted in a change in the classification from media, advertising and promo- tion expenses to a reduction in sales. This change in classifica- tion was made in accordance with EITF 01-9, Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products), because the estimated fair value of the identifiable benefit was no longer obtained begin- ning in 2007. in the six months ended December 30, 2006, $235,690 in the year ended July 1, 2006 and $246,770 in the year ended July 2, 2005. The Company recognizes shipping, handling and distribu- tion costs in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line of the Consolidated Statements of Income. (g) Catalog Expenses The Company incurs expenses for printing catalogs for products to aid in the Company’s sales efforts. The Company initially records these expenses as a prepaid item and charges it against selling, general and administrative expenses over time as the catalog is used. Expenses are recognized at a rate that approximates historical experience with regard to the timing and amount of sales attributable to a catalog distribution. (h) Research and Development Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and are included in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line of the Consolidated Statements of Income. Research and development expense was $45,409 in the year ended December 29, 2007, $23,460 in the six months ended December 30, 2006, $54,571 in the year ended July 1, 2006 and $51,364 in the year ended July 2, 2005. Fixtures and Racks (i) Cash and Cash Equivalents Store fixtures and racks are periodically provided to resellers to display Company products. The Company expenses the cost of these fixtures and racks in the period in which they are delivered to the resellers. The Company includes the costs of these amounts in the determination of net sales. (e) Advertising Expense Advertising costs, which include the development and pro- duction of advertising materials and the communication of these materials through various forms of media, are expensed in the period the advertising first takes place. The Company recog- nized advertising expense in the “Selling, general and adminis- trative expenses” caption in the Consolidated Statements of Income of $188,327 in the year ended December 29, 2007, $99,786 in the six months ended December 30, 2006, $190,934 in the year ended July 1, 2006 and $179,980 in the year ended July 2, 2005. All highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents. Prior to the spin off from Sara Lee on September 5, 2006, a significant portion of our cash and cash equivalents were in the Company’s bank accounts that were part of Sara Lee’s global cash funding system. With respect to accounts in the Sara Lee global cash funding system, the bank had a right to offset the accounts of the Company against the other Sara Lee accounts. (j) Accounts Receivable Valuation Accounts receivable are stated at their net realizable value. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in the receivables portfolio determined on the basis of historical experience, specific allowances for known troubled accounts and other currently available information. (f) Shipping and Handling Costs (k) Inventory Valuation Revenue received for shipping and handling costs is included in net sales and was $22,751 in the year ended December 29, 2007, $11,711 in the six months ended December 30, 2006, $20,405 in the year ended July 1, 2006 and $14,504 in the year ended July 2, 2005. Shipping costs, that comprise payments to third party shippers, and handling costs, which consist of ware- housing costs in the Company’s various distribution facilities, were $234,070 in the year ended December 29, 2007, $123,850 Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Rebates, discounts and other cash consideration received from a vendor related to inventory purchases are reflected as reduc- tions in the cost of the related inventory item, and are therefore reflected in cost of sales when the related inventory item is sold. During the six months ended December 30, 2006, the Company elected to convert all inventory valued by the last-in, F-10 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) Year ended December 29, 2007, six months ended December 30, 2006 and years ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005 (amounts in thousands, except per share data) first-out, or “LIFO,” method to the first-in, first-out, or “FIFO,” method. In accordance with the Statement of Financial Account- ing Standards (SFAS) No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (SFAS 154), a change from the LIFO to FIFO method of inventory valuation constitutes a change in account- ing principle. Historically, inventory valued under the LIFO method, which was 4% of total inventories, would have the same value if measured under the FIFO method. Therefore, the conversion has no retrospective reporting impact. (l) Property Property is stated at historical cost and depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Machinery and equipment is depreciated over periods ranging from three to 25 years and buildings and building improvements over periods of up to 40 years. A change in the depreciable life is treated as a change in accounting estimate and the accelerated depreciation is accounted for in the period of change and future periods. Additions and improvements that substantially extend the useful life of a particular asset and interest costs incurred during the construction period of major properties are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Upon sale or disposition of an asset, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts. Property is tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying value may not be recoverable. Such events include significant adverse changes in the business climate, several periods of operating or cash flow losses, forecasted continuing losses or a current expectation that an asset or an asset group will be disposed of before the end of its useful life. Recoverability of property is evaluated by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. If these compari- sons indicate that an asset is not recoverable, the impairment loss recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value. When an impair- ment loss is recognized for assets to be held and used, the adjusted carrying amount of those assets is depreciated over its remaining useful life. Restoration of a previously recognized impairment loss is not permitted under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. (m) Trademarks and Other Identifiable Intangible Assets The primary identifiable intangible assets of the Company are trademarks and computer software. Identifiable intangibles with finite lives are amortized and those with indefinite lives are not amortized. The estimated useful life of a finite-lived intangi- ble asset is based upon a number of factors, including the effects of demand, competition, expected changes in distribu- tion channels and the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain future cash flows. Finite-lived trademarks are being amortized over periods ranging from five to 30 years, while computer software is being amortized over periods rang- ing from two to ten years. The Company capitalizes internal software development costs under the provisions of AICPA Statement of Position 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. Capitalized computer software costs include the actual costs to purchase software from vendors and generally include personnel and related costs for employees who were directly associated with the enhancement and imple- mentation of purchased computer software. Additions to com- puter software are included in purchases of property and equipment in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Identifiable intangible assets that are subject to amortization are evaluated for impairment using a process similar to that used in evaluating elements of property. Identifiable intangible assets not subject to amortization are assessed for impairment at least annually and as triggering events occur. The impairment test for identifiable intangible assets not subject to amortization consists of comparing the fair value of the intangible asset to its carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. In assessing fair value, management relies on a number of factors to discount anticipated future cash flows including operating results, business plans and present value techniques. Rates used to discount cash flows are dependent upon interest rates and the cost of capital at a point in time. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management’s judgment in applying them to the analysis of intangible asset impairment. (n) Goodwill Goodwill is the amount by which the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. When a business combina- tion is completed, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are assigned to the reporting unit or units of the Company given responsibility for managing, controlling and generating returns on these assets and liabilities. The Company has determined that the reporting units are at the operating segment level. In many instances, all of the acquired assets and assumed liabili- ties are assigned to a single reporting unit and in these cases all of the goodwill is assigned to the same reporting unit. In those situations in which the acquired assets and liabilities are allo- cated to more than one reporting unit, the goodwill to be assigned to each reporting unit is determined in a manner similar to how the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination is determined. Goodwill is not amortized; however, it is assessed for impairment at least annually and as triggering events occur. The first step involves comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit F-11 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) Year ended December 29, 2007, six months ended December 30, 2006 and years ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005 (amounts in thousands, except per share data) exceeds its fair value, the second step of the process involves comparing the implied fair value to the carrying value of the goodwill of that reporting unit. If the carrying value of the goodwill of a reporting unit exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to such excess. In evaluating the recoverability of goodwill, it is necessary to estimate the fair values of the reporting units. In making this assessment, management relies on a number of factors to discount anticipated future cash flows including operating results, business plans and present value techniques. Rates used to discount cash flows are dependent upon interest rates and the cost of capital at a point in time. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management’s judg- ment in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment. During the third quarter of the year ended December 29, 2007, the Company changed the timing of its annual goodwill impairment testing to the first day of the third fiscal quarter. Prior to the year ended December 29, 2007, the Company’s policy was to perform the test at the end of the second fiscal quarter which coincided with Sara Lee’s policy before the spin off. The change in the annual goodwill impairment testing date was made following the change in the Company’s fiscal year- end from the Saturday closest to June 30 to the Saturday closest to December 31 and results in the testing continuing to be performed in the middle of the Company’s fiscal year. In addition, this change in accounting principle better aligns the annual goodwill impairment test with the timing of the Compa- ny’s annual long range planning cycle. The change in accounting principle does not delay, accelerate or avoid an impairment charge. Accordingly, the Company believes that the change in accounting principle described above is preferable under the circumstances. (o) Stock-Based Compensation The employees of the Company participated in the stock- based compensation plans of Sara Lee prior to the Company’s spin off on September 5, 2006. In connection with the spin off, the Company established the Hanesbrands Inc. Omnibus Incen- tive Plan of 2006, (the “Hanesbrands OIP”) to award stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, performance shares and cash to its employees, non-employee directors and employees of its subsidiaries to promote the interests of the Company and incent performance and retention of employees. On July 3, 2005, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS No. 123(R)) using the modified prospective method. SFAS No. 123(R) requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based upon the grant date fair value of those awards. Under the modified prospective method of adopting SFAS No. 123(R), the Company recognized F-12 compensation cost for all share-based payments granted after July 3, 2005, plus any awards granted to employees prior to July 3, 2005 that remained unvested at that time. Under this method of adoption, no restatement of prior periods is required. The cumulative effect of adopting SFAS No. 123(R) was imma- terial in the year ended July 1, 2006. Prior to July 3, 2005, the Company recognized the cost of employee services received in exchange for Sara Lee equity- based instruments in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employ- ees” (APB No. 25). APB No. 25 required the use of the intrinsic value method, which measures compensation cost as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock over the amount the employee must pay for the stock. Compensation expense for substantially all equity-based awards was measured under APB No. 25 on the date the awards were granted. Under APB No. 25, no compensation expense has been recognized for stock options, replacement stock options and shares purchased by our employees under the Sara Lee Employee Stock Purchase Plan (Sara Lee ESPP) during the years prior to the year ended July 1, 2006. Compensation expense was recognized under APB No. 25 for the cost of Sara Lee RSUs granted to employ- ees during the years prior to 2006. During 2005, had the cost of employee services received in exchange for equity instruments been recognized based on the grant-date fair value of those instruments in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-based Compensation (SFAS 123), the Company’s net income would have been impacted as shown in the following table: Reported net income . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Year Ended July 2, 2005 $218,509 6,606 (10,854) $214,261 (p) Income Taxes For the periods prior to the spin off on September 5, 2006, income taxes were prepared on a separate return basis as if the Company had been a group of separate legal entities. As a result, actual tax transactions that would not have occurred had the Company been a separate entity have been eliminated in the preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements for such periods. Until the Company entered into a tax sharing agree- ment with Sara Lee in connection with the spin off, there was no formal tax sharing agreement between the Company and Sara Lee. The tax sharing agreement allocates responsibilities between the Company and Sara Lee for taxes and certain other tax matters. Under the tax sharing agreement, Sara Lee gener- ally is liable for all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) Year ended December 29, 2007, six months ended December 30, 2006 and years ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005 (amounts in thousands, except per share data) taxes attributable to the Company with respect to taxable periods ending on or before September 5, 2006. Sara Lee also is liable for income taxes attributable to the Company with respect to taxable periods beginning before September 5, 2006 and ending after September 5, 2006, but only to the extent those taxes are allocable to the portion of the taxable period ending on September 5, 2006. The Company is generally liable for all other taxes attributable to it. Changes in the amounts payable or receivable by the Company under the stipulations of this agreement may impact the Company’s financial position and cash flows in any period. Within 180 days after Sara Lee files its final consolidated tax return for the period that includes September 5, 2006, Sara Lee is required to deliver to the Company a computation of the amount of deferred taxes attributable to the Company’s United States and Canadian operations that would be included on the Company’s balance sheet as of September 6, 2006. If substitut- ing the amount of deferred taxes as finally determined for the amount of estimated deferred taxes that were included on that balance sheet at the time of the spin off causes a decrease in the net book value reflected on that balance sheet, then Sara Lee will be required to pay the Company the amount of such decrease. If such substitution causes an increase in the net book value reflected on that balance sheet, then the Company will be required to pay Sara Lee the amount of such increase. For purposes of this computation, the Company’s deferred taxes are the amount of deferred tax benefits (including deferred tax consequences attributable to deductible temporary differences and carryforwards) that would be recognized as assets on the Company’s balance sheet computed in accor- dance with GAAP, but without regard to valuation allowances, less the amount of deferred tax liabilities (including deferred tax consequences attributable to deductible temporary differences) that would be recognized as liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet computed in accordance with GAAP, but without regard to valuation allowances. Neither the Company nor Sara Lee will be required to make any other payments to the other with respect to deferred taxes. Deferred taxes are recognized for the future tax effects of temporary differences between financial and income tax report- ing using tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Given continuing losses in certain jurisdictions in which the Company operates on a sepa- rate return basis, a valuation allowance has been established for the deferred tax assets in these specific locations. Net operat- ing loss carryforwards, charitable contribution carryforwards and capital loss carryforwards have been determined in these Consolidated Financial Statements as if the Company had been a group of legal entities separate from Sara Lee, which results in different carryforward amounts than those shown by Sara Lee. The Company periodically estimates the probable tax obligations using historical experience in tax jurisdictions and informed judgment. There are inherent uncertainties related to the interpretation of tax regulations in the jurisdictions in which the Company transacts business. The judgments and estimates made at a point in time may change based on the outcome of tax audits, as well as changes to, or further interpretations of, regulations. Income tax expense is adjusted in the period in which these events occur, and these adjustments are included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. If such changes take place, there is a risk that the Company’s effective tax rate may increase or decrease in any period. In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), which became effective during the year ended December 29, 2007. FIN 48 addresses the determination of how tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FIN 48, a company must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. The impact of the reassessment of the Company’s tax positions in accordance with FIN 48 did not have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. (q) Financial Instruments The Company uses financial instruments, including forward exchange, option and swap contracts, to manage its exposures to movements in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. The use of these financial instruments mod- ifies the exposure of these risks with the intent to reduce the risk or cost to the Company. The Company does not use derivatives for trading purposes and is not a party to leveraged derivative contracts. The Company formally documents its hedge relationships, including identifying the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction. This process includes linking derivatives that are designated as hedges of specific assets, liabilities, firm commitments or forecasted transactions. The Company also formally assesses, both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in either the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. If it is determined that a derivative ceases to be a highly effective hedge, or if the anticipated transaction is no longer likely to occur, the Company discontinues hedge accounting, and any deferred gains or losses are recorded in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Derivatives are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value in other assets and other liabilities. The fair value is F-13 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) Year ended December 29, 2007, six months ended December 30, 2006 and years ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005 (amounts in thousands, except per share data) based upon either market quotes for actively traded instruments or independent bids for nonexchange traded instruments. On the date the derivative is entered into, the Company designates the type of derivative as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge, net investment hedge or a mark to market hedge, and accounts for the derivative in accordance with its designation. Mark to Market Hedge A derivative used as a hedging instrument whose change in fair value is recognized to act as an economic hedge against changes in the values of the hedged item is designated a mark to market hedge. For derivatives designated as mark to market hedges, changes in fair value are reported in earnings in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line of the Con- solidated Statements of Income. Forward exchange contracts are recorded as mark to market hedges when the hedged item is a recorded asset or liability that is revalued in each accounting period, in accordance with SFAS No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation. In September 2005, the Company acquired a domestic yarn and textile production company for $2,436 in cash and the assumption of $84,000 of debt. The fair value of the assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed, approximated the purchase price and no goodwill was recognized as a result of the transaction. In the year ended July 2, 2005, purchases from the acquired business accounted for approximately 18% of the Company’s total cost of sales. Following the acquisition, sub- stantially all of the yarn and textiles produced by the acquired business have been used in products produced by the Com- pany, and those that were not have been sold to third parties. None of the preceding business acquisitions were deter- mined by the Company to be material, individually or in the aggregate, as set forth in SFAS No. 141, Accounting for Business Combinations (SFAS 141). As a result, the disclosures and supplemental pro forma information required by SFAS 141 are not presented. (s) Recently Issued Accounting Standards Cash Flow Hedge Fair Value Measurements A hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability is designated as a cash flow hedge. The effective portion of the change in the fair value of a derivative that is designated as a cash flow hedge is recorded in the “Accumu- lated other comprehensive loss” line of the Consolidated Bal- ance Sheets. When the hedged item affects the income statement, the gain or loss included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is reported on the same line in the Consolidated Statements of Income as the hedged item. In addition, both the fair value of changes excluded from the Company’s effectiveness assessments and the ineffective por- tion of the changes in the fair value of derivatives used as cash flow hedges are reported in the “Selling, general and adminis- trative expenses” line in the Consolidated Statements of Income. (r) Business Acquisitions In December 2007, the Company acquired a 900-employee sheer hosiery manufacturing operation in Las Lourdes, El Salva- dor for $3,338 in cash and $629 in assumed liabilities, resulting in $1,517 of goodwill. In August 2007, the Company acquired the 1,300-employee textile manufacturing operations in San Juan Opico, El Salvador of Industrias Duraflex, S.A. de C.V., which had been a supplier to the Company since the early 1990s, resulting in $27,293 of goodwill. In November 2006, the Company acquired an Asian sewing production facility for $6,666 in cash and the assumption of $3,560 of debt. Goodwill of $2,766 was recognized as a result of the purchase price exceeding the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired. F-14 The FASB has issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measure- ments, or “SFAS 157,” which provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The standard also responds to investors’ requests for more information about (1) the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, (2) the information used to measure fair value, and (3) the effect that fair-value measurements have on earnings. SFAS 157 will apply whenever another standard requires (or permits) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The standard does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of SFAS 157 on its results of operations and financial position. Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The provisions of SFAS 159 become effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that SFAS 159 will have on its results of operations and financial position. H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) Year ended December 29, 2007, six months ended December 30, 2006 and years ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005 (amounts in thousands, except per share data) Business Combinations (3) Earnings Per Share In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”). The objective of SFAS 141 is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a com- pany provides in its financial reports about a business combina- tion and its effects. Under SFAS 141R, a company is required to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, contractual contingencies, contingent consideration measured at their fair value at the acquisition date. It further required that research and development assets acquired in a business combination that have no alternative future use to be measured at their acquisition-date fair value and then immediately charged to expense, and that acquisition-related costs are to be recognized separately from the acquisition and expensed as incurred. Among other changes, this statement also required that “nega- tive goodwill” be recognized in earnings as a gain attributable to the acquisition, and any deferred tax benefits resulting from a business combination are recognized in income from continuing operations in the period of the combination. SFAS 141R is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial State- ments — an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). The objective of this Statement is to improve the relevance, compa- rability, and transparency of the financial information that a company provides in its consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 requires a company to clearly identify and present ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the company in the consolidated financial statements within the equity section but separate from the company’s equity. It also requires the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income; changes in ownership interest be accounted for simi- larly, as equity transactions; and when a subsidiary is deconso- lidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary and the gain or loss on the deconsolidation of the subsidiary be measured at fair value. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS 160 will have on its results of operations and financial position. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) was computed by dividing net income by the number of weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the year ended December 29, 2007 and the six months ended December 30, 2006. Diluted EPS was calculated to give effect to all potentially dilutive shares of common stock. The reconciliation of basic to diluted weighted average shares for the year ended December 29, 2007 and the year ended December 30, 2006 is as follows: Year Ended December 29, 2007 Six Months Ended December 30, 2006 Basic weighted average shares . . . . . . . . . . . . Effect of potentially dilutive securities: Stock options . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

For the years ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005, basic and diluted EPS were computed using the number of shares of Hanesbrands stock outstanding on September 5, 2006, the date on which Hanesbrands common stock was distributed to stock- holders of Sara Lee in connection with the spin off. (4) Stock-Based Compensation The Company established the Hanesbrands OIP to award stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, performance shares and cash to its employees, non-employee directors and employ- ees of its subsidiaries to promote the interests of the Company and incent performance and retention of employees. Stock Options The exercise price of each stock option equals the closing market price of Hanesbrands’ stock on the date of grant. Options can generally be exercised over a term of between five and seven years. Options vest ratably over two to three years with the exception of one category of award made in Septem- ber 2006 which vested immediately upon grant. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following table illus- trates the assumptions for the Black-Scholes option-pricing model used in determining the fair value of options granted F-15 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) Year ended December 29, 2007, six months ended December 30, 2006 and years ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005 (amounts in thousands, except per share data) during the year ended December 29, 2007 and the six months ended December 30, 2006, respectively.

The Company uses the volatility of peer companies for a period of time that is compa- rable to the expected life of the option to determine volatility assumptions. The Company utilized the simplified method out- lined in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 to estimate expected lives for options granted. SEC Staff Accounting Bulle- tin No. 110, which was issued in December 2007, amends SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 and gives a limited extension on using the simplified method for valuing stock option grants to eligible public companies that do not have sufficient historical exercise patterns on options granted to employees. A summary of the changes in stock options outstanding to the Company’s employees under the Hanesbrands OIP is presented below: Weighted- Average Exercise Price Aggregate Intrinsic Value Shares Options outstanding at July 1, 2006 . . . . — $ — $ — Granted . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2,955 Exercised. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Stock Unit Awards Restricted stock units (RSUs) of Hanesbrands’ stock are granted to certain Company employees and non-employee directors to incent performance and retention over periods ranging from one to three years. Upon vesting, the RSUs are converted into shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis and issued to the grantees. All RSUs which have been granted under the Hanesbrands OIP vest solely upon continued future service to the Company. The cost of these awards is determined using the fair value of the shares on the date of grant, and compensation expense is recognized over the period during which the grantees provide the requisite service to the Company. A summary of the changes in the restricted stock unit awards outstanding under the Hanesbrands OIP is presented below: Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years) — Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value Aggregate Intrinsic Value $ — $ — 22.37 — — Shares — 1,546 — — Nonvested share units at July 1, 2006. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The total intrinsic value of options that were exercised during the year ended December 29, 2007 and the six months ended December 30, 2006 was $1,804 and $8, respectively. The weighted average fair value of individual options granted during the year ended December 29, 2007 and the six months ended December 30, 2006 was $7.83 and $6.55, respectively. Cash received from option exercises under all share-based payment arrangements for the year ended December 29, 2007 and the six months ended December 30, 2006 was $6,189 and $139, respectively. The actual tax benefit realized for the tax The total fair value of shares vested during the year ended December 29, 2007 was $8,423. Certain participants elected to defer receipt of shares earned upon vesting. A total of 64 shares of common stock are issuable in future years for such deferrals. For all share-based payments under the Hanesbrands OIP, during the year ended December 29, 2007 and the six months ended December 30, 2006, the Company recognized total compensation expense of $33,185 and $10,176 and recognized a deferred tax benefit of $12,360 and $3,842, respectively. At December 29, 2007, there was $23,904 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock-based compen- sation arrangements, of which $16,689, $6,623 and $592 is expected to be recognized in 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively. The Company satisfies the requirement for common shares for share-based payments to employees pursuant to the Hanesbrands OIP by issuing newly authorized shares. The Hanesbrands OIP authorized 13,105 shares for awards of stock F-16 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) Year ended December 29, 2007, six months ended December 30, 2006 and years ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005 (amounts in thousands, except per share data) options and restricted stock units, of which 7,279 were available for future grants. The employees of the Company participated in the stock- based compensation plans of Sara Lee prior to the Company’s spin off on September 5, 2006. As a result of the spin off and consistent with the terms of the awards under Sara Lee’s plans, the outstanding Sara Lee stock options granted expired six months after the spin off date. In connection with the spin off, vesting for all nonvested service-based Sara Lee RSUs was accelerated to the spin off date resulting in the recognition of $5,447 of additional compensation expense for the six months ended December 30, 2006. An insignificant number of perfor- mance-based Sara Lee RSUs remained unvested through the spin off date. Employee Stock Purchase Plan During April 2007, the Company implemented the Hanes- brands Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan of 2006 (the “ESPP”), which is qualified under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. An aggregate of up to 2,442 shares of Hanesbrands common stock may be purchased by eligible employees pursuant to the ESPP. The purchase price for shares under the ESPP is equal to 85% of the stock’s fair market value on the purchase date. During the year ended December 29, 2007, 78 shares were purchased under the ESPP by eligible employees. The Company had 2,364 shares of common stock available for issuance under the ESPP as of December 29, 2007. The Company recognized $440 of stock compensation expense under the ESPP during the year ended December 29, 2007. (5) Restructuring The reported results for the year ended December 29, 2007, six months ended December 30, 2006 and years ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005 reflect amounts recognized for restructuring actions, including the impact of certain actions that were completed for amounts more favorable than previously estimated. The impact of restructuring on income before income tax expense is summarized as follows: Year Ended December 29, 2007 Six Months Ended December 30, 2006 Years Ended July 1, 2006 July 2, 2005 Restructuring programs: Year ended December 30, 2007 restructuring actions . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

On November 27, 2007, we entered into an accounts receivable securitization facility (“the Receivables Facility”), which provides for up to $250,000 in funding accounted for as a secured borrowing, limited to the availability of eligible receivables, and is secured by certain domestic trade receivables. The outstand- ing balances at December 29, 2007 are reported in the “Long- term debt” line of the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Total cash paid for interest related to the long-term debt during the year ended December 29, 2007 was $165,331.

At the Company’s option, borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility may be maintained from time to time as (a) Base Rate loans, which shall bear interest at the higher of (i) 1/2 of 1% in excess of the federal funds rate and (ii) the rate published in the Wall Street Journal as the “prime rate” (or equivalent), in each case in effect from time to time, plus the applicable margin in effect from time to time (which is currently 0.50% for the Term A Loan Facility and the Revolving Loan Facility and 0.75% for the Term B Loan Facility), or (b) LIBOR based loans, which shall bear interest at the LIBO Rate (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility and adjusted for maximum reserves), as determined by the administrative agent for the respective interest period plus the applicable margin in effect from time to time (which is currently 1.50% for the Term A Loan Facility and the Revolving Loan Facility and the 1.75% for Term B Loan Facility). The final maturity of the Term A Loan Facility is September 5, 2012. The Term A Loan Facility amor- tizes in an amount per annum equal to the following: year 1 — 5.00%; year 2 — 10.00%; year 3 — 15.00%; year 4 — 20.00%; year 5 — 25.00%; year 6 — 25.00%.

F-20 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) Year ended December 29, 2007, six months ended December 30, 2006 and years ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005 (amounts in thousands, except per share data) On February 22, 2007, the Company entered into a First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Senior Secured Credit Facility. Pursuant to the First Amendment, the “applicable margin” with respect to the $1,400,000 Term B loan facility (“Term B Loan Facility”) that comprises a part of the Senior Secured Credit Facility was reduced from 2.25% to 1.75% with respect to loans maintained as “LIBO Rate loans,” and from 1.25% to 0.75% with respect to loans maintained as “Base Rate loans.” The First Amendment also provides that in the event that, prior to February 22, 2008, the Company: (i) incurs a new tranche of replacement loans constituting obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility having an effective interest rate margin less than the applicable margin for loans pursuant to the Term B Loan Facility (“Term B Loans”), the proceeds of which are used to repay or return, in whole or in part, principal of the outstanding Term B Loans, (ii) consummates any other amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Facility that reduces the applicable margin for the Term B Loans, or (iii) incurs additional Term B Loans having an effective interest rate margin less than the applicable margin for Term B Loans, the proceeds of which are used in whole or in part to prepay or repay outstanding Term B Loans, then in any such case, the Company will pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each Lender with outstanding Term B Loans, a fee in an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate principal amount of all Term B Loans being replaced on such date immediately prior to the effectiveness of such transaction. The Senior Secured Credit Facility requires the Company to comply with customary affirmative, negative, and financial cove- nants, and includes customary events of default. As of Decem- ber 29, 2007, the Company was in compliance with all covenants. Second Lien Credit Facility The Second Lien Credit Facility provides for aggregate borrowings of $450,000 by Hanesbrands’ wholly-owned subsid- iary, HBI Branded Apparel Limited, Inc. The Second Lien Credit Facility is unconditionally guaranteed by Hanesbrands and each entity guaranteeing the Senior Secured Credit Facility. The Second Lien Credit Facility and the guarantees in respect thereof are secured on a second-priority basis (subordinate only to the Senior Secured Credit Facility and any permitted additions thereto or refinancings thereof) by substantially all of the assets that secure the Senior Secured Credit Facility. Loans under the Second Lien Credit Facility bear interest in the same manner as those under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, subject to a margin of 2.75% for Base Rate loans and 3.75% for LIBOR based loans. The Second Lien Credit Facility matures on March 5, 2014, may not be prepaid prior to September 5, 2007, and includes premiums for prepayment of the loan prior to September 5, 2009 based upon timing of the prepayments. The Second Lien Credit Facility will not amortize and will be repaid in full on its maturity date. At December 29, 2007 the interest rate on the Second Lien Credit Facility was 8.82%. The Second Lien Credit Facility requires the Company to comply with customary affirmative, negative, and financial covenants, and includes customary events of default. As of December 29, 2007, the Company was in compliance with all covenants. Floating Rate Senior Notes On December 14, 2006, the Company issued $500,000 aggregate principal amount of Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2014. The Floating Rate Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations that rank equal in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness. The Floating Rate Senior Notes bear interest at an annual rate, reset semi-annually, equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, plus 3.375%. Interest is payable on the Floating Rate Senior Notes on June 15 and December 15 of each year beginning on June 15, 2007. The Floating Rate Senior Notes will mature on December 15, 2014. The net proceeds from the sale of the Floating Rate Senior Notes were approximately $492,000. These proceeds, together with working capital, were used to repay in full the $500,000 outstanding under the Bridge Loan Facility. The Floating Rate Senior Notes are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries. The Floating Rate Senior Notes are redeemable on or after Decem- ber 15, 2008, subject to premiums based upon timing of the prepayments. Accounts Receivable Securitization On November 27, 2007, the Company entered into the Receivables Facility, which provides for up to $250,000 in funding accounted for as a secured borrowing, limited to the availability of eligible receivables, and is secured by certain domestic trade receivables. The Receivables Facility will termi- nate on November 27, 2010. Under the terms of the Receiv- ables Facility, the company sells, on a revolving basis, certain domestic trade receivables to HBI Receivables LLC (“Receiv- ables LLC”), a wholly-owned bankruptcy-remote subsidiary that in turn uses the trade receivables to secure the borrowings, which are funded through conduits that issue commercial paper in the short-term market and are not affiliated with the Com- pany or through committed bank purchasers if the conduits fail to fund. The assets and liabilities of Receivables LLC are fully reflected on our Consolidated Balance Sheet, and the securitiza- tion is treated as a secured borrowing for accounting purposes. The borrowings under the Receivables Facility remain outstand- ing throughout the term of the agreement subject to the Company maintaining sufficient eligible receivables, by continu- ing to sell trade receivables to Receivables LLC, unless an event of default occurs. F-21 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) Year ended December 29, 2007, six months ended December 30, 2006 and years ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005 (amounts in thousands, except per share data) Availability of funding under the facility depends primarily upon the eligible outstanding receivables balance. As of Decem- ber 29, 2007, the Company had $250,000 outstanding under the Receivables Facility. The outstanding balance under the Receiv- ables Facility is reported on the Company’s Consolidated Bal- ance Sheet in long-term debt based on the three-year term of the agreement and the fact that remittances on the receivables do not automatically reduce the outstanding borrowings. All of the proceeds from the Receivables Facility were used to make a prepayment of principal under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. Unless the conduits fail to fund, the yield on the commercial paper, which is the conduits’ cost to issue the commercial paper plus certain dealer fees, is considered a financing cost and is included in interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Income. If the conduits fail to fund, the Receivables Facility would be funded through committed bank purchasers, and the interest rate payable at the Company’s option at the rate announced from time to time by JPMorgan as its prime rate or at the LIBO Rate (as defined in the Receivables Facility) plus the applicable margin in effect from time to time. The average blended rate utilized for the period from Novem- ber 27, 2007 through December 29, 2007 was 5.93%. The total amount of receivables used as collateral for the credit facility was $495,245 at December 29, 2007 and is reported on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet in trade accounts receivables less allowances. Bridge Loan Facility Prior to its repayment in full, the Bridge Loan Facility provided for a borrowing of $500,000 and was unconditionally guaranteed by each entity guaranteeing the Senior Secured Credit Facility. The Bridge Loan Facility was unsecured and was scheduled to mature on September 5, 2007. If the Bridge Loan Facility had not been repaid prior to or at maturity, the outstand- ing principal amount of the facility was to roll over into a rollover loan in the same amount that was to mature on September 5, 2014. Lenders that extended rollover loans to the Company would have been entitled to request that the Company issue “exchange notes” to them in exchange for the rollover loans, and also to request that the Company register such notes upon request. All amounts outstanding were repaid through the issuance of Floating Rate Senior Notes. Future principal payments for all of the facilities described above are as follows: $0 due in 2008, $0 due in 2009, $282,750 due in 2010, $46,875 due in 2011, $59,375 due in 2012 and $1,926,250 thereafter. Reflected in these future principal pay- ments were prepayments of $425,000 and $100,000 made during the year ended December 29, 2007 and six months ended December 30, 2006, respectively. The prepayments relieved any requirement for the Company to make mandatory payments on the Term A and Term B Loan Facilities through 2009. The Company incurred $3,266 in debt issuance costs in connection with entering into the First Amendment and the Receivables Facility during the year ended December 29, 2007 and $50,248 in debt issuance costs in connection with the issuance of the Senior Secured Credit Facility, the Second Lien Facility, Bridge Loan Facility and the Floating Rate Senior Notes during the six months ended December 30, 2006. Debt issu- ance costs are amortized to interest expense over the respec- tive lives of the debt instruments, which range from five to eight years. As of December 29, 2007, the net carrying value was $32,070 which is included in other noncurrent assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company’s debt issuance cost amortization was $6,475 and $2,279 for the year ended Decem- ber 29, 2007 and six months ended December 30, 2006, respectively. The Company recognized $5,235 of losses on early extin- guishment of debt in the year ended December 29, 2007 related to prepayments of $425,000 on the Senior Secured Credit Facility. During the six months ended December 30, 2006, the Company recognized $7,401 of losses on early extinguishment of debt which is comprised of a $6,125 loss for unamortized debt issuance costs on the Bridge Loan Facility in connection with the issuance of the Floating Rate Senior Notes and a $1,276 loss related to unamortized debt issuance costs on the Senior Secured Credit Facility for the prepayment of $100,000 of principal in December 2006. As discussed above, the proceeds from the issuance of the Floating Rate Senior Notes were used to repay the entire outstanding principal of the Bridge Loan Facility. (10) Comprehensive Income SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, requires that all components of comprehensive income, including net income, be reported in the financial statements in the period in which they are recognized. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Net income and other comprehensive income, including foreign currency translation adjustments, minimum pension liabilities (for periods prior to adoption of SFAS 158), all unrecognized prior service costs and net loss or gain arising during the period F-22 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) Year ended December 29, 2007, six months ended December 30, 2006 and years ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005 (amounts in thousands, except per share data) (for periods after adoption of SFAS 158) and unrealized gains and losses on qualifying cash flow hedges, shall be reported, net of their related tax effect, to arrive at comprehensive income.

In connection with the spin off on September 5, 2006, the Company assumed obligations relating to the Company’s current and former employees included within Sara Lee sponsored pension and retirement plans, including $53,813 of additional minimum pension liability that has not been reflected in comprehensive income for the six months ended December 30, 2006 but is, however, included in accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 30, 2006. During the six months ended December 30, 2006, the Company adopted one provision of SFAS 158 which requires a company to report the unfunded positions of employee benefit plans on the balance sheet while all other deferred charges are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. The impact of adopting the SFAS 158 provision was $19,079, net of tax, which is not reflected in comprehensive income but is, however, included in accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 30, 2006.

In accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies , the Company records a provision with respect to a claim, suit, investigation, or proceeding when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can reasonably be estimated. Any provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and are adjusted to reflect the impact and status of settlements, rulings, advice of counsel and other information pertinent to the particular matter. The recorded liabilities for these items were not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company in any of the years presented. Although the outcome of such items cannot be determined with certainty, the Company’s legal coun- sel and management are of the opinion that the final outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. License Agreements The Company is party to several royalty-bearing license agreements for use of third-party trademarks in certain of their products. The license agreements typically require a minimum guarantee to be paid either at the commencement of the agreement, by a designated date during the term of the agree- ment or by the end of the agreement period. When payments are made in advance of when they are due, the Company records a prepayment and amortizes the expense in the “Cost of sales” line of the Consolidated Statements of Income uniformly over the guaranteed period. For guarantees required to be paid at the completion of the agreement, royalties are expensed through “Cost of sales” as the related sales are made. Management has reviewed all license agreements and concluded that these guar- antees do not fall under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Interpretation No. 45 Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, including Indirect Guar- antees of Indebtedness of Others , and accordingly, there are no liabilities recorded at inception of the agreements. For the year ended December 29, 2007, the six months ended December 30, 2006 and the years ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005, the Company incurred royalty expense of approximately $11,583, $16,401, $12,554 and $10,571, respec- tively. During the six months ended December 30, 2006, the Company incurred expense of $9,675 in connection with the buy out of a license agreement and the settlement of certain contractual terms relating to another license agreement. The $9,675 was recorded in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line of the Consolidated Statement of Income. Minimum amounts due under the license agreements are approximately $8,012 in 2008, $7,001 in 2009, $7,017 in 2010, $1,291 in 2011 and $60 in 2012. In addition to the minimum guaranteed amounts under license agreements, in the year ended December 29, 2007 the Company entered into a partner- ship agreement which included a minimum fee of $6,300 for each year from 2008 through 2017.

The estimated amortization expense for the next five years, assuming no change in the estimated useful lives of identifiable intangible assets or changes in foreign exchange rates is as follows: $9,838 in 2008, $9,413 in 2009, $8,250 in 2010, $6,717 in 2011 and $6,717 in 2012. No impairment charges were recognized in for the year ended December 29, 2007, the six months ended December 30, 2006, for the year ended July 1, 2006 or for the year ended July 2, 2005. However, in prior years as a result of the annual impairment reviews, the Company concluded that certain trade- marks had lives that were no longer indefinite. As a result of this conclusion, trademarks with a net book value of $79,044 and $51,524 for the year ended July 1, 2006 and for the year ended July 2, 2005, respectively, were moved from the indefi- nite lived category and amortization was initiated over a 30-year period. (a) Interest Rate Derivatives In connection with the spin off from Sara Lee on Septem- ber 5, 2006, the Company incurred debt of $2,600,000 plus an unfunded revolver with capacity of $500,000, all of which bears interest at floating rates. During the year ended December 29, 2007 and the six months ended December 30, 2006, the Company has executed certain interest rate cash flow hedges in the form of swaps and caps in order to mitigate the Company’s exposure to variability in cash flows for the future interest payments on a designated portion of borrowings. The Company records gains and losses on these derivative instruments using hedge accounting. Under this accounting method, gains and losses are deferred into accumulated other comprehensive loss until the hedged transaction impacts the Company’s earnings. However, on a quarterly basis hedge ineffectiveness will be measured and any resulting ineffective- ness will be recorded as gains or losses in the respective measurement period. During the year ended December 29, 2007 and the six months ended December 30, 2006, the Company deferred losses of $16,357 and $2,743, respectively, into accumulated F-25 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) Year ended December 29, 2007, six months ended December 30, 2006 and years ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005 (amounts in thousands, except per share data) other comprehensive loss.

Gains and losses on these contracts are intended to offset losses and gains on the hedged transaction in an effort to reduce the earnings volatility resulting from fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates and fluctuating commodity prices. Historically, the principal currencies hedged by the Company include the European euro, Mexican peso, Canadian dollar and Japanese yen. The following table summarizes by major cur- rency the contractual amounts of the Company’s foreign exchange forward contracts in U.S. dollars. The bought amounts represent the net U.S. dollar equivalent of commitments to purchase foreign currencies, and the sold amounts represent the net U.S. dollar equivalent of commitments to sell foreign currencies. The foreign currency amounts have been translated into a U.S. dollar equivalent value using the exchange rate at the reporting date. Forward exchange contracts mature on the anticipated cash requirement date of the hedged transaction, generally within one year. There were no open foreign exchange forward contracts at December 30, 2006. Foreign currency sold: Canadian dollar . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

There were no open foreign exchange option contracts at December 29, 2007 and December 30, 2006. F-26 (c) Commodity Derivatives Cotton is the primary raw material the Company uses to manufacture many of its products and is purchased at market prices. In the year ended July 1, 2006, the Company started to use commodity financial instruments to hedge the price of cotton, for which there is a high correlation between the hedged item and the hedged instrument. There were no amounts outstanding under cotton futures contracts at Decem- ber 29, 2007 and December 30, 2006. The notional amounts outstanding under the options contracts were 41 and 108 bales of cotton at December 29, 2007 and December 30, 2006, respectively. (d) Net Derivative Gain or Loss For the interest rate swaps and caps and all forward exchange and option contracts, the following table summarizes the net derivative gains or losses deferred into accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified to earnings in the year ended December 29, 2007, the six months ended Decem- ber 30, 2006 and the years ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005.

The Company expects to reclassify into earnings during the next 12 months net loss from accumulated other comprehen- sive loss of approximately $10,659 at the time the underlying hedged transactions are realized. During the year ended Decem- ber 29, 2007 and the six months ended December 30, 2006 and the years ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005, the Company recognized income (expense) of $80, $0, $0, and $(554), respec- tively, for hedge ineffectiveness related to cash flow hedges. Amounts reported for hedge ineffectiveness are not included in accumulated other comprehensive loss and therefore, not included in the above table. There were no derivative losses excluded from the assess- ment of effectiveness or gains or losses resulting from the disqualification of hedge accounting for the year ended Decem- ber 29, 2007 and the six months ended December 30, 2006 and the years ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005. H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) Year ended December 29, 2007, six months ended December 30, 2006 and years ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005 (amounts in thousands, except per share data) Effective as of January 1, 2006, the Company created the Hanesbrands Inc. Pension and Retirement Plan (the “Hanes- brands Pension Plan”), a new frozen defined benefit plan to receive assets and liabilities accrued under the Sara Lee Pen- sion Plan that are attributable to current and former Company employees. In connection with the spin off on September 5, 2006, the Company assumed Sara Lee’s obligations under the Sara Lee Corporation Consolidated Pension and Retirement Plan, the Sara Lee Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, the Sara Lee Canada Pension Plans and certain other plans that related to the Company’s current and former employees and assumed other Sara Lee retirement plans covering only Com- pany employees. Prior to the spin off the obligations were not included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company also assumed two noncontributory defined bene- fit plans, the Playtex Apparel, Inc. Pension Plan (the “Playtex Plan”) and the National Textiles, L.L.C. Pension Plan (the “National Textiles Plan”). The obligations and costs related to all of these plans are included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 29, 2007 and Decem- ber 30, 2006. On September 29, 2006, SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretire- ment Plans” was issued. The objectives of SFAS 158 are for an employer to a) recognize the overfunded status of a plan as an asset and the underfunded status of a plan as a liability in the balance sheet and to recognize changes in the funded status in comprehensive income or loss, and b) measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its balance sheet date. Additional minimum pension liabilities and related intangible assets are also derecognized upon adoption of the new stan- dard. SFAS 158 requires initial application of the requirement to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan and the related disclosure provisions as of the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. SFAS 158 requires initial application of the requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the balance sheet date as of the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The Company adopted part (a) of the statement as of December 30, 2006. The Company adopted part (b) of the statement as of December 29, 2007. The following table summarizes the effect of required changes in the additional minimum pension liabilities (AML) as of (e) Fair Values The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable and long term debt approximated fair value as of December 29, 2007, December 30, 2006, and July 1, 2006. The fair value of long term debt approximates the carrying value as all the credit facilities are at floating rates. The carrying amounts of the Company’s notes payable to parent companies, notes payable to banks, notes payable to related entities and funding receiv- able/payable with parent companies approximated fair value as of December 29, 2007, December 30, 2006, and July 1, 2006, primarily due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair values of the remaining financial instruments recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets of the Company at the respec- tive year ends were: December 29, 2007 December 30, 2006 Interest rate swaps . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Foreign currency forwards and options . . . . . . . . . . Interest rate caps . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Commodity forwards and options . . . . . . . . . . . . . $(16,590) 196 304 266 $(2,743) — 711 1,597 The fair value of the swaps is determined based upon externally developed pricing models, using financial market data obtained from swap dealers. The fair value of the forwards and options is based upon quoted market prices obtained from third- party institutions. (f) Concentration of Credit Risk Trade accounts receivable due from customers that the Company considers highly leveraged were $115,233 at Decem- ber 29, 2007, $107,783 at December 30, 2006, $121,870 at July 1, 2006 and $100,314 at July 2, 2005. The financial position of these businesses has been considered in determining allow- ances for doubtful accounts. See Note 20 for disclosure of significant customer concen- trations by segment. (15) Defined Benefit Pension Plans During the year ended December 29, 2007, the Company completed the separation of its pension plan assets and liabili- ties from those of Sara Lee in accordance with governmental regulations, which resulted in a higher total amount of pension plan assets being transferred to the Company than originally was estimated prior to the spin off. Prior to spin off, the fair value of plan assets included in the annual valuations repre- sented a best estimate based upon a percentage allocation of total assets of the Sara Lee trust. The separation resulted in a reduction to pension liabilities of approximately $74,000 with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital and resulted in a decrease of approximately $6,000 to pension expense for the year ended December 29, 2007.

(a) Measurement Date and Assumptions In accordance with the adoption of SFAS 158 part (b), a December 29, 2007 measurement date was used to value plan assets and obligations for the Company’s defined benefit pen- sion plans for the year ended December 29, 2007. The impact of adopting part (b) is an adjustment of $1,058 to increase retained earnings, with offsetting decreases to pension liability of $1,804 and accumulated other comprehensive income of $747 for the year ended December 29, 2007. A measurement date of September 30 was used for the six months ended December 30, 2006, and a March 31 measurement date for all previous periods. The weighted average actuarial assumptions used in measuring the net periodic benefit cost and plan obligations for the periods presented were as follows: December 29, 2007 December 30, 2006 July 1, 2006 July 2, 2005 Net periodic benefit cost: Discount rate . . . . . . . . . . . .

Due to the current funded status of the plans, the Company is not required to make any contributions to the pension plans in 2008. Expected benefit payments are as follows: $52,233 in 2008, $50,837 in 2009, $50,090 in 2010, $49,643 in 2011, $51,297 in 2012 and $272,227 thereafter.

Gains associated with these plan amendments were amortized throughout the year ended December 29, 2007 in anticipation of the effective termination of the medical plan on December 1, 2007. On December 1, 2007 the Company effec- tively terminated all retiree medical coverage. Postretirement benefit income of $28,467 was recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the six months ended December 30, 2006, which represented the unrecognized amounts associated with prior plan amendments that were being amortized into income over the remaining service period of the participants prior to the December 2006 amendments. A gain on curtailment of $32,144 is recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended December 29, 2007, which represents the final settlement of the retirement plan. On September 29, 2006, SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretire- ment Plans” was issued. The objectives of SFAS 158 are for an employer to a) recognize the overfunded status of a plan as an asset and the underfunded status of a plan as a liability in the balance sheet and to recognize changes in the funded status in comprehensive income or loss, and b) measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its balance sheet date. Additional minimum pension liabilities and related intangible assets are also derecognized upon adoption of the new stan- dard. SFAS 158 requires initial application of the requirement to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan and the related disclosure provisions as of the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. SFAS 158 requires initial application of the requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the balance sheet date as of the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The Company adopted part (a) of the statement as of December 30, 2006. The Company adopted part (b) of the statement as of December 29, 2007. The following table summarizes the effect of the adoption of part (a) of SFAS 158 on the December 30, 2006 balance sheet: employees who met certain eligibility requirements participated in post-retirement healthcare and life insurance sponsored by Sara Lee. These plans included employees from a number of domestic Sara Lee business units. All obligations pursuant to these plans have historically been obligations of Sara Lee and as such, were not included on the Company’s historical Consol- idated Balance Sheets, prior to September 5, 2006. The annual cost of the Sara Lee defined benefit plans was allocated to all of the participating businesses based upon a specific actuarial computation which was followed consistently. In connection with the spin off on September 5, 2006, the Company assumed Sara Lee’s obligations under the Sara Lee postretirement plans related to the Company’s current and former employees. The postretirement plan expense incurred by the Company for these postretirement plans is as follows: Year Ended December 29, 2007 Six Months Ended December 30, 2006 Year Ended July 1, 2006 July 2, 2005 Hanesbrands postretirement health care and life insurance plans . . . . . . .

(a) Measurement Date and Assumptions In accordance with the adoption of SFAS 158 part (b), a December 29, 2007 measurement date was used to value plan assets and obligations for the Company’s postretirement life insurance plans in the current year. The impact of adopting part (b) is an adjustment of $131 to increase retained earnings, with an offsetting decrease to postretirement liability at Decem- ber 29, 2007. A September 30, 2006 measurement date was used to value plan assets and obligations for the Company’s postretirement medical and life insurance plans for the previous year. The weighted average actuarial assumptions used in measuring the net periodic benefit cost and plan obligations for the plan at the measurement date were as follows: discount rate of 6.20% for plan obligations and net periodic benefit cost; and long term rate of return on plan assets of 3.70%. (b) Contributions and Benefit Payments The Company expects to make a contribution of $525 in 2008. Expected benefit payments are as follows: $525 in 2008, $521 in 2009, $519 in 2010, $517 in 2011, $513 in 2012 and $2,498 thereafter.

If substitut- ing the amount of deferred taxes as finally determined for the amount of estimated deferred taxes that were included on that balance sheet at the time of the spin off causes a decrease in the net book value reflected on that balance sheet, then Sara Lee will be required to pay the Company the amount of such decrease. If such substitution causes an increase in the net book value reflected on that balance sheet, then the Company will be required to pay Sara Lee the amount of such increase. For purposes of this computation, the Company’s deferred taxes are the amount of deferred tax benefits (including deferred tax consequences attributable to deductible temporary differences and carryforwards) that would be recognized as assets on the Company’s balance sheet computed in accor- dance with GAAP, but without regard to valuation allowances, less the amount of deferred tax liabilities (including deferred tax consequences attributable to deductible temporary differences) that would be recognized as liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet computed in accordance with GAAP, but without regard to valuation allowances. Neither the Company nor Sara Lee will be required to make any other payments to the other with respect to deferred taxes. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, manage- ment considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Man- agement considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differ- ences, net of the existing valuation allowances. Net deferred tax assets . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $425,278 $455,105 At December 29, 2007, the Company has net operating loss The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 29, 2007 and December 30, 2006 was $15,992 and $14,591 respectively. The net change in the total valuation allowance for the year ended December 29, 2007 and the six months ended December 30, 2006 was $1,401 and $(32,536) respectively. The valuation allowance relates in part to deferred tax assets established under SFAS No. 109 for loss carryforwards at December 29, 2007 and December 30, 2006 of $13,137 and $11,736 respectively, and to foreign goodwill of $2,855 at December 29, 2007 and December 30, 2006. carryforwards of approximately $55,833 which will expire as follows: Years Ending: January 3, 2009 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

If these earnings had not been permanently reinvested, deferred taxes of approximately $87,000 would have been recognized in the Consolidated Finan- cial Statements. As discussed in Note 2, the Company adopted FIN 48 in the year ended December 29, 2007. As a result of the implementa- tion of FIN 48, the Company recognized no adjustment in the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits as of the beginning of 2007. Although it is not reasonably possible to estimate the amount by which these unrecognized tax benefits may increase or decrease within the next twelve months due to uncertainties regarding the timing of examinations and the amount of settle- ments that may be paid, if any, to tax authorities, the Company does not expect unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next twelve months. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: Balance at December 30, 2006 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

During the year ended December 29, 2007, the Company recognized $720 for interest and penalties classified as income tax expense in the Consolidated Statement of Income. In addition, a $248,118 valuation allowance existed for capital losses resulting from the sale of U.S. apparel capital assets in 2001 and 2003. Of these capital losses $224,969 expired unused at July 1, 2006. During the six months ended December 30, 2006, deferred tax assets and the related valua- tion allowance were reduced by $23,149 for the remaining capital losses and $9,387 in foreign net operating losses retained by Sara Lee. The Company recognized a $50,000 tax charge related to the repatriation of the earnings of foreign subsidiaries to the U.S. in 2005. In addition, during 2005 the Company recognized a $31,600 tax charge for extraordinary dividends associated with the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (Act). On October 22, 2004, the President of the United States signed the Act which created a temporary incentive for U.S. corporations to repatriate accumulated income earned abroad by providing an 85% divi- dends received deduction for certain dividends from controlled foreign corporations. (18) Stockholders’ Equity The Company is authorized to issue up to 500,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and up to 50,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, and permits the Company’s board of directors, without stockholder approval, to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that the Company is authorized to issue. At December 29, 2007 and December 30, 2006, 95,232 and 96,312 shares, respectively, of common stock were issued and outstanding and no shares of preferred stock were issued or outstanding. Included within the 50,000 shares of preferred stock, 500 shares are designated Junior Participating Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and reserved for issuance upon the exercise of rights under the rights agreement described below. Preferred Stock Purchase Rights Pursuant to a stockholder rights agreement entered into by the Company prior to the spin off, one preferred stock purchase right will be distributed with and attached to each share of the Company’s common stock. Each right will entitle its holder, under the circumstances described below, to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of the Series A Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $75 per right. Initially, the rights will be associated with the Company’s common stock, and will be transferable with and only with the transfer of the underlying share of common stock. Until a right is exer- cised, its holder, as such, will have no rights as a stockholder with respect to such rights, including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive dividends. The rights will become exercisable and separately certifi- cated only upon the rights distribution date, which will occur upon the earlier of: (i) ten days following a public announcement by the Company that a person or group (an “acquiring person”) has acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, beneficial owner- ship of 15% or more of its outstanding shares of common stock (the date of the announcement being the “stock acquisition date”); or (ii) ten business days (or later if so determined by our board of directors) following the commencement of or public disclosure of an intention to commence a tender offer or exchange offer by a person if, after acquiring the maximum number of securities sought pursuant to such offer, such person, or any affiliate or associate of such person, would acquire, or obtain the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of 15% or more of our outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. Upon the Company’s public announcement that a person or group has become an acquiring person, each holder of a right (other than any acquiring person and certain related parties, whose rights will have automatically become null and void) will have the right to receive, upon exercise, common stock with a value equal to two times the exercise price of the right. In the event of certain business combinations, each holder of a right (except rights which previously have been voided as described above) will have the right to receive, upon exercise, common stock of the acquiring company having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the right. The Company may redeem the rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $0.001 per right (subject to adjustment and F-33 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) Year ended December 29, 2007, six months ended December 30, 2006 and years ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005 (amounts in thousands, except per share data) payable in cash, common stock or other consideration deemed appropriate by the board of directors) at any time prior to the earlier of the stock acquisition date and the rights expiration date. Immediately upon the action of the board of directors authorizing any redemption, the rights will terminate and the holders of rights will only be entitled to receive the redemption price. At any time after a person becomes an acquiring person and prior to the earlier of (i) the time any person, together with all affiliates and associates, becomes the beneficial owner of 50% or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock and (ii) the occurrence of a business combination, the board of directors may cause the Company to exchange for all or part of the then-outstanding and exercisable rights shares of its com- mon stock at an exchange ratio of one common share per right, adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend or similar transaction. (19) Relationship with Sara Lee and Related Entities Effective upon the completion of the spin off on Septem- ber 5, 2006, Sara Lee ceased to be a related party to the Company. The Company paid a dividend to Sara Lee of $1,950,000 and repaid a loan in the amount of $450,000 which is reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity. An additional payment of approximately $26,306 was paid to Sara Lee during the six months ended December 30, 2006 in order to satisfy all outstanding payables from the Company to Sara Lee and Sara Lee subsidiaries. Prior to the spin off on September 5, 2006, the Company participated in a number of Sara Lee administered programs such as cash funding systems, insurance programs, employee benefit programs and workers’ compensation programs. In connection with the spin off from Sara Lee, the Company assumed $299,000 in unfunded employee benefit liabilities for pension, postretirement and other retirement benefit qualified and nonqualified plans, and $37,554 of liabilities in connection with property insurance, workers’ compensation, and other programs. Included in the historical information are costs of certain services such as business insurance, medical insurance, and employee benefit plans and allocations for certain centralized administration costs for treasury, real estate, accounting, audit- ing, tax, risk management, human resources and benefits administration. Centralized administration costs were allocated to the Company based upon a proportional cost allocation method. These allocated costs are included in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line of the Consolidated Statement of Income. For the year ended December 29, 2007 and six months ended December 30, 2006, the total amount allocated for centralized administration costs by Sara Lee was $0. F-34 In connection with the spin off, the Company entered into the following agreements with Sara Lee: m Master Separation Agreement. This agreement governs the contribution of Sara Lee’s branded apparel Americas/ Asia business to the Company, the subsequent distribution of shares of Hanesbrands’ common stock to Sara Lee stockholders and other matters related to Sara Lee’s rela- tionship with the Company. To effect the contribution, Sara Lee agreed to transfer all of the assets of the branded apparel Americas/Asia business to the Company and the Company agreed to assume, perform and fulfill all of the liabilities of the branded apparel Americas/Asia division in accordance with their respective terms, except for certain liabilities to be retained by Sara Lee. m Tax Sharing Agreement. This agreement governs the allocation of U.S. federal, state, local, and foreign tax liability between the Company and Sara Lee, provides for restric- tions and indemnities in connection with the tax treatment of the distribution, and addresses other tax-related matters. This agreement also provides that the Company is liable for taxes incurred by Sara Lee that arise as a result of the Company taking or failing to take certain actions that result in the distribution failing to meet the requirements of a tax- free distribution under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company therefore has gener- ally agreed that, among other things, it will not take any actions that would result in any tax being imposed on the spin off. m Employee Matters Agreement. This agreement allocates responsibility for employee benefit matters on the date of and after the spin off, including the treatment of existing welfare benefit plans, savings plans, equity-based plans and deferred compensation plans as well as the Company’s establishment of new plans. m Master Transition Services Agreement. Under this agree- ment, the Company and Sara Lee agreed to provide each other, for varying periods of time, with specified support services related to among others, human resources and financial shared services, tax-shared services and informa- tion technology services. Each of these services is provided for a fee, which differs depending upon the service. m Real Estate Matters Agreement. This agreement governs the manner in which Sara Lee will transfer to or share with the Company various leased and owned properties associ- ated with the branded apparel business. m Indemnification and Insurance Matters Agreement. This agreement provides general indemnification provisions pur- suant to which the Company and Sara Lee have agreed to indemnify each other and their respective affiliates, agents, successors and assigns from certain liabilities. This agree- ment also contains provisions governing the recovery by and payment to the Company of insurance proceeds related H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) Year ended December 29, 2007, six months ended December 30, 2006 and years ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005 (amounts in thousands, except per share data) to its business and arising on or prior to the date of the distribution and its insurance coverage. m Intellectual Property Matters Agreement. This agreement provides for the license by Sara Lee to the Company of certain software, and governs the wind-down of the Compa- ny’s use of certain of Sara Lee’s trademarks (other than those being transferred to the Company in connection with the spin off). The following is a discussion of the relationship with Sara Lee, the services provided and how they have been accounted for in the Company’s financial statements. (a) Allocation of Corporate Costs The costs of certain services that were provided by Sara Lee to the Company during the periods presented have been reflected in these financial statements, including charges for services such as business insurance, medical insurance and employee benefit plans and allocations for certain centralized administration costs for treasury, real estate, accounting, audit- ing, tax, risk management, human resources and benefits administration. These allocations of centralized administration costs were determined using a proportional cost allocation method on bases that the Company and Sara Lee considered to be reasonable, including relevant operating profit, fixed assets, sales, and payroll. Allocated costs are included in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line of the Consolidated Statements of Income. The total amount allocated for central- ized administration costs by Sara Lee in the year ended Decem- ber 29, 2007, six months ended December 30, 2006 and the years ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005 was $0, $0, $37,478 and $34,213, respectively. Beginning with the six months ended December 30, 2006, there were no costs allocated as the Company’s infrastructure was in place and did not significantly benefit from these services from Sara Lee. These costs repre- sent management’s reasonable allocation of the costs incurred. However, these amounts may not be representative of the costs necessary for the Company to operate as a separate standalone company. The “Net transactions with parent compa- nies” line item in the Consolidated Statements of Parent Com- panies’ Equity primarily reflects dividends paid to parent companies and costs paid by Sara Lee on behalf of the Company. (b) Other Transactions with Sara Lee Related Entities During all periods presented prior to the spin off on Septem- ber 5, 2006, the Company’s entities engaged in certain transac- tions with other Sara Lee businesses that are not part of the Company, which included the purchase and sale of certain inventory, the exchange of services, and royalty arrangements involving the use of trademarks or other intangibles. Transactions with related entities are summarized in the table below: Six Months Ended December 30, 2006 Years Ended July 1, 2006 July 2, 2005 Sales to related entities . .

The remaining balances included in this line represent interest with third parties. (20) Business Segment Information The Company’s operations are managed and reported in five operating segments, each of which is a reportable segment for financial reporting purposes: Innerwear, Outerwear, Hosiery, International and Other. These segments are organized princi- pally by product category and geographic location. Management of each segment is responsible for the operations of these businesses. The types of products and services from which each report- able segment derives its revenues are as follows: m Innerwear sells basic branded products that are replenish- ment in nature under the product categories of women’s intimate apparel, men’s underwear, kids’ underwear, socks, thermals and sleepwear. m Outerwear sells basic branded products that are seasonal in nature under the product categories of casualwear and activewear. m Hosiery sells products in categories such as panty hose and knee highs. m International relates to the Latin America, Asia, Canada and Europe geographic locations which sell products that span across the Innerwear, Outerwear and Hosiery reportable segments. m Other is comprised of sales of non finished products such as fabric and certain other materials in the United States and Latin America in order to maintain asset utilization at certain manufacturing facilities. The Company evaluates the operating performance of its segments based upon segment operating profit, which is defined as operating profit before general corporate expenses, amortization of trademarks and other identifiable intangibles and restructuring and related accelerated depreciation charges. The accounting policies of the segments are consistent with those described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” F-35 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) Year ended December 29, 2007, six months ended December 30, 2006 and years ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005 (amounts in thousands, except per share data) Net sales (1)(2): Innerwear . . . . . . .

(23) Consolidating Financial Information In accordance with the indenture governing the Company’s $500,000 Floating Rate Senior Notes issued on December 14, 2006, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries have guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the Floating Rate Senior Notes. The following presents the condensed consolidating financial information separately for: legal entities, and excludes its subsidiaries which are legal entities; (ii) For period prior to the spin off from Sara Lee, divisional entities, on a combined basis, representing operating divisions (not legal entities) 100% owned by Sara Lee Corporation (former parent company); (i) Parent Company, the issuer of the guaranteed obliga- tions. Parent Company includes Hanesbrands Inc. and its 100% owned operating divisions (divisional entities) which are not (iii) Guarantor subsidiaries, on a combined basis, as speci- fied in the indenture governing the Floating Rate Senior Notes; (iv) Non-guarantor subsidiaries, on a combined basis; F-37 H A N E S B R A N D S I N C . 2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FO RM 10-K Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) Year ended December 29, 2007, six months ended December 30, 2006 and years ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005 (amounts in thousands, except per share data) (v) Consolidating entries and eliminations representing adjustments to (a) eliminate intercompany transactions between or among Hanesbrands, the guarantor subsidiaries and the non- guarantor subsidiaries, (b) eliminate intercompany profit in inven- tory, (c) eliminate the investments in our subsidiaries and (d) record consolidating entries; and (vi) Parent Company, on a consolidated basis. As described in Note 1, a separate legal entity did not exist for Hanesbrands Inc. prior to the spin off from Sara Lee because a direct ownership relationship did not exist among the various units comprising the Branded Apparel Americas and Asia Business. In connection with the spin off from Sara Lee, each guarantor subsidiary became a 100% owned direct or indirect subsidiary of Hanesbrands Inc. as of September 5, 2006. Therefore, a parent company entity is not presented for periods prior to the spin-off, but divisional entities of Sara Lee are presented. The Floating Rate Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by each guarantor subsidiary. Each entity in the consolidating financial information follows the same accounting policies as described in the consol- idated financial statements, except for the use by the Parent Company and guarantor subsidiaries of the equity method of accounting to reflect ownership interests in subsidiaries which are eliminated upon consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation and legal entity struc- ture relating to the classification of the investment in subsidiary balances and related equity in earnings of subsidiaries. Prior period presentation has been revised to combine Parent and Divisional Entities columns for periods after the spin off from Sara Lee on September 5, 2006.
