AE BETTER WORLD SUPPLY CHAIN OUR PERFORMANCE<br />

Our Performance (continued)<br />

Ongoing Inspection Coverage<br />

We strive to re-inspect approved garment factories at least once a year. While we occasionally are unable to get<br />

to a factory, our internal inspection team partners with third-party auditors and independent, locally-based<br />

monitors to make our best effort to meet this goal. In FY2010, we inspected 98% of garment factories that were<br />

part of our base for the entire year.<br />
