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 />
