Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits are not generally reported as cash and cash equivalents. Includes cash and cash equivalents associated with the entity's continuing operations. Excludes cash and cash equivalents associated with the disposal group (and discontinued operation).

Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits are not generally reported as cash and cash equivalents. Includes cash and cash equivalents associated with the entity's continuing operations. Excludes cash and cash equivalents associated with the disposal group (and discontinued operation).

| SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Carter’s, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. RECLASSIFICATIONS: Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes. FISCAL YEAR: Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday, in December or January, nearest the last day of December. The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements reflect our financial position as of December 31, 2011 and January 1, 2011 and results of operations for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011, January 1, 2011, and January 2, 2010. The fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 (fiscal 2011), January 1, 2011 (fiscal 2010), and January 2, 2010 (fiscal 2009), each contain 52 weeks. USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION AND TRANSACTIONS: The functional currency of the Company’s foreign operations is the local currency. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, while revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within the audited consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity. The Company also recognizes gains and losses on transactions that are denominated in a currency other than the respective entity’s functional currency. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses include the mark-to-market adjustment related to open foreign currency exchange contracts, amounts realized on the settlement of foreign currency exchange contracts, and intercompany loans with foreign subsidiaries that are of a short-term investment nature. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recognized in earnings and separately disclosed in the audited consolidated statements of operations. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: We consider all highly liquid investments that have original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Our cash and cash equivalents consist of deposit accounts and cash management funds invested in U.S. Treasury securities. We had cash deposits, in excess of deposit insurance limits, in two U.S. banks and one Canadian bank at December 31, 2011. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE: Approximately 79.9% of our gross accounts receivable at December 31, 2011 and 82.9% at January 1, 2011 were from our ten largest wholesale customers. Of these customers, three had individual receivable balances in excess of 10% of our gross accounts receivable (but not more than 19%) at December 31, 2011. At January 1, 2011, four customers had individual receivable balances in excess of 10% of our gross accounts receivable (but not more than 17%). Sales to these customers represent 72.9% and 78.6% of total wholesale net sales for fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010, respectively. In fiscal 2011, no one customer accounted for 10% or more of our consolidated net sales. In fiscal 2010, one customer accounted for approximately 10% of our consolidated net sales. Components of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2011 and January 1, 2011 are as follows:
INVENTORIES: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis for wholesale inventory and average cost for retail inventories) or market. We provide reserves for slow-moving inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT: Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. When fixed assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the accounts are relieved of the original cost of the assets, and the related accumulated depreciation and any resulting profit or loss is credited or charged to income. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation and amortization are computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: buildings from 15 to 26 years and retail store fixtures, equipment, and computers from 3 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements and fixed assets purchased under capital leases, if any, are amortized over the lesser of the asset life or related lease term. We capitalize the cost of our fixtures designed and purchased for use at major wholesale accounts. The cost of these fixtures is amortized over a three-year period. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBILE ASSETS: In connection with the Acquisition, the Company recorded estimates of goodwill and other intangible assets including a Bonnie Togs tradename and non-compete agreements for certain executives of Bonnie Togs, in accordance with accounting guidance on business combinations. Goodwill as of December 31, 2011, represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition of Carter’s, Inc., which was consummated on August 15, 2001, and the acquisition of Bonnie Togs, which was consummated on June 30, 2011, over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Our goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The OshKosh tradename was recorded in connection with the acquisition of OshKosh on July 14, 2005 and adjusted in fiscal 2007 to reflect the impairment of the value. Our Carter’s and Bonnie Togs goodwill and Carter’s and OshKosh tradenames are deemed to have indefinite lives and are not being amortized. The Bonnie Togs tradename and non-compete agreements for certain executives have definite lives and are being amortized over two and four years, respectively. The carrying values of the goodwill and tradename assets are subject to annual impairment reviews in accordance with accounting guidance on goodwill and other intangible assets, as of the last day of each fiscal year. Impairment reviews may also be triggered by any significant events or changes in circumstances affecting our business. Factors affecting such impairment reviews include the continued market acceptance of our offered products and the development of new products. Based upon our most recent assessment performed as of December 31, 2011, we determined that there is no impairment of our goodwill or tradename assets. We use discounted cash flow models to determine the fair value of these assets, using assumptions we believe hypothetical marketplace participants would use. For indefinite-lived intangible assets, if the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount equal to that excess. We perform impairment tests of our goodwill at our reporting unit level. The goodwill impairment test consists of a two-step process, if necessary. The first step is to compare the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. The assumptions used in these models are consistent with those we believe hypothetical marketplace participants would use. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the second step of the impairment test must be performed in order to determine the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment charge is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The loss recognized cannot exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. A deterioration of macroeconomic conditions may not only negatively impact the estimated operating cash flows used in our cash flow models, but may also negatively impact other assumptions used in our analyses, including, but not limited to, the estimated cost of capital and/or discount rates. Additionally, as discussed above, in accordance with accounting guidance, we are required to ensure that assumptions used to determine fair value in our analyses are consistent with the assumptions a hypothetical marketplace participant would use. As a result, the cost of capital and/or discount rates used in our analyses may increase or decrease based on market conditions and trends, regardless of whether our Company’s actual cost of capital has changed. Therefore, our Company may recognize an impairment of an intangible asset or assets even though realized actual cash flows are approximately equal to or greater than our previously forecasted amounts. The Company’s intangible assets were as follows:
The following is a reconciliation of Bonnie Togs intangible assets:
Amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization was approximately $0.2 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, $1.8 million for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2011, and $3.7 million for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2010. IMPAIRMENT OF OTHER LONG-LIVED ASSETS: We review other long-lived assets, including property, plant, and equipment, and licensing agreements, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such an asset may not be recoverable. Management will determine whether there has been a permanent impairment on such assets held for use in the business by comparing anticipated undiscounted future cash flows from the use and eventual disposition of the asset or asset group to the carrying value of the asset. The amount of any resulting impairment will be calculated by comparing the carrying value to fair value, which may be estimated using the present value of the same cash flows. Long-lived assets that meet the definition of held for sale will be valued at the lower of carrying amount or fair value. DEFERRED DEBT ISSUANCE COSTS: Debt issuance costs are deferred and amortized to interest expense using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method, over the life of the related debt. During the second quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company wrote off approximately $0.5 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the $100 million prepayment of a portion of its former term loan debt. On October 15, 2010, the Company entered into a $375 million ($130 million sub-limit for letters of credit and a swing line sub-limit of $40 million) revolving credit facility with Bank of America as sole lead arranger and administrative agent, JP Morgan Chase Bank as syndication agent, and other financial institutions. The revolving credit facility was immediately drawn upon to pay off the Company’s former term loan of $232.2 million and pay transaction fees and expenses of $3.8 million, leaving approximately $130 million available under the revolver for future borrowings (net of letters of credit of approximately $8.6 million). In connection with the repayment of the Company’s former term loan, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 the Company wrote off approximately $1.2 million in unamortized debt issuance costs. In addition, in connection with the revolving credit facility, the Company recorded $3.5 million of debt issuance costs to be amortized over the term of the revolving credit facility (five years). Amortization approximated $0.7 million, $0.9 million (exclusive of $1.7 million related to prepayments), and $1.1 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011, January 1, 2011, and January 2, 2010, respectively. CASH FLOW HEDGES: Our former senior credit facility required us to hedge at least 25% of our variable rate debt under this facility. The Company entered into interest rate swap agreements in order to hedge the risk of interest rate fluctuations. These interest rate swap agreements were designated as cash flow hedges of the variable interest payments on a portion of our variable rate former term loan debt. Our interest rate swap agreements were traded in the over-the-counter market. Fair values were based on quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities or determined using inputs that use as their basis readily observable market data that are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including third-party pricing services, brokers, and market transactions. In connection with the repayment of the Company’s former term loan in fiscal 2010, the Company terminated its two remaining interest rate swap agreements totaling $100.0 million originally scheduled to mature in January 2011. The unrealized gain related to the swap agreements, net of tax, was approximately $0.7 million for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2011 and $0.4 million for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2010. The realized gain related to the swap agreements, net of tax, was approximately $0.2 million for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2011. These unrealized gains and losses and realized gain, net of tax, are included within accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income on the accompanying audited consolidated balance sheets. In fiscal 2010 and 2009, we recorded $1.7 million and $2.5 million, respectively, in interest expense related to the swap agreements. On May 25, 2006, we entered into an interest rate collar agreement (the “collar”) with a LIBOR floor of 4.3% and a ceiling of 5.5%. The collar covered $100 million of our variable rate former term loan debt and was designated as a cash flow hedge of the variable interest payments on such debt. The collar matured on January 31, 2009. For the fiscal year ended January 2, 2010, the Company realized a gain of approximately $0.4 million, net of taxes, related to the collar and are included within accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income on the accompanying audited consolidated balance sheets. In fiscal 2009, we recorded $0.5 million in interest expense related to the collar. ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE (LOSS) INCOME: Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, shown as a component of stockholders’ equity on the accompanying audited consolidated balance sheets, reflects adjustments to the Company’s defined benefit and post-retirement plan assets and liabilities as of the end of the year, and the gains and losses and prior service costs or credits, net of tax, that arise during the period but that are not recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost pursuant to accounting guidance on pensions and post-retirement benefits. Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income also includes cumulative translation adjustments related to the translation of Company’s foreign results. The functional currency of the Company’s foreign operations is the local currency. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, while revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Included in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income are realized gains and unrealized gains or losses on the Company’s interest rate swap and collar agreements, net of taxes, which are not included in the determination of net income. These realized gains and unrealized gains and losses are recorded directly into accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income and are referred to as comprehensive (loss) income items. Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income is summarized as follows:
As of December 31, 2011, other accumulated comprehensive (loss) income for the pension/post-retirement liability adjustment are net of tax benefit of $3.7 million. REVENUE RECOGNITION: Revenues consist of sales to customers, net of returns, accommodations, allowances, deductions, and cooperative advertising. We consider revenue realized or realizable and earned when the product has been shipped, when title passes, when all risks and rewards of ownership have transferred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. In certain cases, in which we retain the risk of loss during shipment, revenue recognition does not occur until the goods have reached the specified customer. In the normal course of business, we grant certain accommodations and allowances to our wholesale domestic and international customers. We provide accommodations and allowances to our major wholesale customers in order to assist these customers with inventory clearance and promotions. Such amounts are reflected as a reduction of net sales and are recorded based on agreements with customers, historical trends, and annual forecasts. Retail store revenues are recognized at the point of sale. We reduce revenue for customer returns and deductions. We also maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make payments and other actual and estimated deductions. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, an additional allowance could be required. Past due balances over 90 days are reviewed individually for collectability. Our credit and collections department reviews all other balances regularly. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when we feel it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. We contract with a third-party service to provide us with the fair value of cooperative advertising arrangements entered into with certain of our major wholesale customers. Such fair value is determined based upon, among other factors, comparable market analysis for similar advertisements. In accordance with accounting guidance on consideration given by a vendor to a customer/reseller, we have included the fair value of these arrangements of approximately $3.6 million in fiscal 2011, $4.0 million in fiscal 2010, and $3.3 million in fiscal 2009 as a component of selling, general, and administrative expenses on the accompanying audited consolidated statement of operations rather than as a reduction of revenue. Amounts determined to be in excess of the fair value of these arrangements are recorded as a reduction of net sales. ACCOUNTING FOR SHIPPING AND HANDLING FEES AND COSTS: Shipping and handling costs include related labor costs, third-party shipping costs, shipping supplies, and certain distribution overhead. Such costs are generally absorbed by us and are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses. These costs amounted to approximately $45.2 million for fiscal 2011, $33.3 million for fiscal 2010, and $31.9 million for fiscal 2009. With respect to the freight component of our shipping and handling costs, certain customers arrange for shipping and pay the related freight costs directly to third parties. However, in the event that we arrange and pay the freight for these customers and bill them for this service, such amounts billed are included in revenue and the related cost is charged to cost of goods sold. In addition, shipping and handling costs billed to our eCommerce customers are included in revenue and the related cost is charged to cost of goods sold. For fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009, the Company billed customers approximately $5.3 million, $1.5 million, and $0.1 million, respectively. ROYALTIES AND LICENSE FEES: We license the Carter’s, Just One You, Precious Firsts, Child of Mine, OshKosh B’gosh, OshKosh, and Genuine Kids from OshKosh trademarks to other companies for use on baby and young children’s products, including bedding, outerwear, sleepwear, shoes, underwear, socks, room décor, toys, stationery, hair accessories, furniture, gear and related products. These royalties are recorded as earned, based upon the sales of licensed products by our licensees and reported as royalty income in the statement of operations. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS: In accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of accounting guidance on share-based payments, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for its share-based payments based on the fair value of the awards at the grant date. We determine the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires the use of the following subjective assumptions: Volatility – This is a measure of the amount by which a stock price has fluctuated or is expected to fluctuate. The Company uses actual monthly historical changes in the market value of our stock covering the expected life of options being valued. An increase in the expected volatility will increase stock-based compensation expense. Risk-free interest rate – This is the U.S. Treasury rate as of the grant date having a term equal to the expected term of the stock option. An increase in the risk-free interest rate will increase stock-based compensation expense. Expected term – This is the period of time over which the stock options granted are expected to remain outstanding and is based on historical experience and estimated future exercise behavior. Separate groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes. An increase in the expected term will increase stock-based compensation expense. Dividend yield – The Company does not have plans to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. An increase in the dividend yield will decrease stock-based compensation expense. Forfeitures – The Company estimates forfeitures of stock-based awards based on historical experience and expected future activity. Changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect the estimate of fair value of stock-based compensation and consequently, the related amount recognized in the accompanying audited consolidated statements of operations. The Company accounts for its performance-based awards in accordance with accounting guidance on share-based payments and records stock-based compensation expense over the vesting term of the awards that are expected to vest based on whether it is probable that the performance criteria will be achieved. The Company reassesses the probability of vesting at each reporting period for awards with performance criteria and adjusts stock-based compensation expense based on its probability assessment. The fair value of restricted stock is determined based on the quoted closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. INCOME TAXES: The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements reflect current and deferred tax provisions. The deferred tax provision is determined under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities using presently enacted tax rates. Valuation allowances are established when it is “more likely than not” that a deferred tax asset will not be recovered. The provision for income taxes is generally the sum of the amount of income taxes paid or payable for the year as determined by applying the provisions of enacted tax laws to the taxable income for that year, the net change during the year in our deferred tax assets and liabilities, and the net change during the year in any valuation allowances. We assess our income tax positions and record tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon management’s evaluation of the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting dates. For those uncertain tax positions where it is “more likely than not” that a tax benefit will be sustained, we have recorded the largest amount of tax benefit with a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions where it is not “more likely than not” that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit has been recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Where applicable, associated interest is also recognized and recorded in interest expense. SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION: Interest paid in cash approximated $7.0 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, $7.8 million for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2011, and $10.5 million for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2010. Income taxes paid in cash approximated $61.6 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, $71.7 million for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2011, and $54.6 million for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2010. EARNINGS PER SHARE: The Company calculates basic and diluted net income per common share in accordance with accounting guidance which requires earnings per share to be calculated pursuant to the two-class method for unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid). Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income for the period by the weighted-average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share includes the effect of dilutive instruments, such as stock options and restricted stock awards, and uses the average share price for the period in determining the number of shares that are to be added to the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011, January 1, 2011, and January 2, 2010, antidilutive shares of 935,050, 599,000, and 1,035,500 respectively, were excluded from the computations of diluted earnings per share. The following is a reconciliation of basic common shares outstanding to diluted common and common equivalent shares outstanding:
EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS: The Company accounts for its employee benefit plans in accordance with accounting guidance on defined benefit pension and other post-retirement plans which requires an employer to recognize the over-funded or under-funded status of a defined benefit post-retirement plan (other than a multi-employer plan) as an asset or liability on its balance sheet. It also requires an employer to recognize as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax, the gains or losses and prior service costs or credits that arise during the period but are not recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification 715-30. These costs are then subsequently recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost in the consolidated statement of operations. We adjusted accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income related to the Company’s post-retirement benefit obligations by approximately $98,000, or $62,000, net of tax, in fiscal 2011, $0.3 million, or $0.2 million, net of tax, in fiscal 2010, and $0.2 million, or $0.1 million, net of tax, in fiscal 2009 to reflect changes in underlying assumptions including projected claims and population. In addition, the Company recorded an unrealized loss of $9.9 million, or $6.2 million, net of tax, in fiscal 2011, an unrealized gain of $1.8 million, or $1.1 million, net of tax, in fiscal 2010, and an unrealized gain of $3.7 million, or $2.3 million, net of tax, during fiscal 2009 to the OshKosh pension plan asset and accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income to reflect changes in the funded status of this plan. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS: In May 2011, the FASB issued updated accounting guidance related to fair value measurements and disclosures that result in common fair value measurements and disclosures between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. This guidance includes amendments that clarify the intent about the application of existing fair value measurements and disclosures, while other amendments change a principle or requirement for fair value measurements or disclosures. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance to amend the presentation of comprehensive income to allow an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. The guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and is to be applied retrospectively. The Company will include such disclosures in our first quarter of fiscal 2012 quarterly report. In September 2011, the FASB issued new guidance on testing goodwill for impairment. This guidance gives companies the option to perform a qualitative assessment to first assess whether the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. |

| ACQUISITION OF BONNIE TOGS | NOTE 3 – ACQUISITION OF BONNIE TOGS: As noted above, on June 30, 2011, Northstar purchased all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Bonnie Togs for total consideration of up to CAD $95 million, of which USD $61.2 million was paid in cash at closing. Such payment is subject to post-closing adjustments, which we expect to be finalized in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The sellers may also be paid contingent consideration ranging from zero to CAD $35 million if the Canadian business meets certain earnings targets for the period beginning July 1, 2011 and ending on June 27, 2015. Sellers may receive a portion of the contingent consideration of up to CAD $25 million if interim earnings targets are met through June 2013 and June 2014, respectively. Any such payments are not recoverable by the Company in the event of any failure to meet overall targets. As of July 2, 2011, the Company had a discounted contingent consideration liability of approximately $24.3 million based upon the high probability that Bonnie Togs will attain its earnings targets. The fair value of the discounted contingent consideration liability as of December 31, 2011 was approximately $25.6 million and is included in other long-term liabilities on the accompanying audited consolidated balance sheet. The $1.2 million change in the fair value of the liability is reflected as $2.5 million in accretion expense and $1.3 million in other comprehensive income resulting from a favorable foreign currency translation adjustment. The Company determined the fair value of the contingent consideration based upon a probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis. The Company will continue to revalue the contingent consideration at each reporting date. The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at June 30, 2011, the date of the Acquisition:
In connection with the Acquisition, the Company recorded total acquired intangible assets of approximately $55.9 million, including $55.0 million of Bonnie Togs goodwill, $0.6 million related to the Bonnie Togs tradename (life of two years), and $0.3 million related to non-compete agreements for certain executives (life of four years). The following unaudited pro forma summary presents information as if Bonnie Togs had been acquired at the beginning of the periods presented with financing obtained as described above and assumes that there were no other changes in our operations. The pro forma information does not necessarily reflect the actual results that would have occurred had the Company been combined during the periods presented, nor is it necessarily indicative of the future results of operations of the combined companies.
Included in the pro forma results shown above for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2011, is a pre-tax charge of $6.7 million related to the amortization of the step-up of acquired Bonnie Togs inventory to fair value. Included in our results for fiscal 2011, was Bonnie Togs net sales of $76.6 million and net income of $3.8 million for the period from July 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011. |

| LONG-TERM DEBT [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| LONG-TERM DEBT | NOTE 5 – LONG-TERM DEBT: Long-term debt consisted of the following:
On October 15, 2010, the Company entered into a $375 million ($130 million sub-limit for letters of credit and a swing line sub-limit of $40 million) revolving credit facility with Bank of America as sole lead arranger and administrative agent, JP Morgan Chase Bank as syndication agent, and other financial institutions. This revolving credit facility was immediately drawn upon to pay off the Company’s former term loan of $232.2 million and pay transaction fees and expenses of $3.8 million, leaving approximately $130 million available under the revolver for future borrowings (net of letters of credit of approximately $8.6 million). In connection with the repayment of the Company’s former term loan, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 the Company wrote off approximately $1.2 million in unamortized debt issuance costs. In addition, in connection with the revolving credit facility, the Company recorded $3.5 million of debt issuance costs to be amortized over the term of the revolving credit facility (five years). On December 22, 2011, the Company and lenders amended and restated the revolving credit facility to, among other things, provide a U.S. dollar revolving facility of $340 million ($130 million sub-limit for letters of credit and a swing line sub-limit of $40 million) and a $35 million multicurrency revolving facility ($15 million sub-limit for letters of credit and a swing line sub-limit of $5 million), which is available for borrowings by either The William Carter Company (“TWCC”) or our Canadian subsidiary, in U.S. dollars or Canadian dollars. The term of the revolving credit facility expires October 15, 2015. At December 31, 2011, we had approximately $236.0 million in revolver borrowings (fair value approximates book value), exclusive of $14.9 million of outstanding letters of credit, at an effective interest rate of 2.5%. The revolving credit facility provides for two pricing options for U.S. dollar facility revolving loans: (i) revolving loans on which interest is payable quarterly at a base rate equal to the highest of (x) the Federal Funds Rate plus ½ of 1%, (y) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America, N.A. as its prime rate, or (z) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1%, plus, in each case, an applicable margin initially equal to 1.25%, which may be adjusted based upon a leverage-based pricing grid ranging from 1.00% to 1.50% and (ii) revolving loans on which interest accrues for one, two, three, six or if, generally available, nine or twelve month interest periods (but is payable not less frequently than every three months) at a rate of interest per annum equal to an adjusted British Bankers Association LIBOR rate, plus an applicable margin initially equal to 2.25%, which may be adjusted based upon a leverage-based pricing grid ranging from 2.00% to 2.50%. The revolving credit facility also provides for two pricing options for multicurrency facility revolving loans denominated in U.S. dollars: (i) revolving loans on which interest is payable quarterly at a base rate equal to the highest of (x) the Federal Funds Rate plus ½ of 1%, (y) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America, N.A., Canada Branch in Toronto as its reference rate for loans in U.S. dollars to its Canadian borrowers, or (z) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1%, plus, in each case, an applicable margin initially equal to 1.25%, which may be adjusted based upon a leverage-based pricing grid ranging from 1.00% to 1.50% and (ii) revolving loans on which interest accrues for one, two, three, six or if, generally available, nine or twelve month interest periods (but is payable not less frequently than every three months) at a rate of interest per annum equal to an adjusted British Bankers Association LIBOR rate, plus an applicable margin initially equal to 2.25%, which may be adjusted based upon a leverage-based pricing grid ranging from 2.00% to 2.50%. In addition, the revolving credit facility provides for two pricing options for multicurrency facility revolving loans denominated in Canadian dollars: (i) revolving loans on which interest is payable quarterly at a base rate equal to the highest of (x) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America, N.A., Canada Branch in Toronto as its prime rate for loans in Canadian Dollars to Canadian Borrowers and (y) the rate of interest in effect for such day for Canadian dollar bankers’ acceptances having a term of one month that appears on the Reuters Screen CDOR Page plus ½ of 1%, plus, in each case, an applicable margin initially equal to 1.25%, which may be adjusted based upon a leverage-based pricing grid ranging from 1.00% to 1.50%, and (ii) revolving loans on which interest accrues for one, two, three, six or if, generally available, nine or twelve month interest periods (but is payable not less frequently than every three months) at a rate of interest per annum equal to an adjusted British Bankers Association LIBOR rate, plus an applicable margin initially equal to 2.25%, which may be adjusted based upon a leverage-based pricing grid ranging from 2.00% to 2.50%. Amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility currently accrue interest at a LIBOR rate plus 2.25%. The revolving credit facility contains and defines financial covenants, including a lease adjusted leverage ratio (defined as, with certain adjustments, the ratio of the Company’s consolidated indebtedness plus six times rent expense to consolidated net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and rent expense (“EBITDAR”)) to exceed (x) if such period ends on or before December 31, 2014, 3.75:1.00 and (y) if such period ends after December 31, 2014, 3.50:1.00; and consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio (defined as, with certain adjustments, the ratio of consolidated EBITDAR to consolidated fixed charges (defined as interest plus rent expense)), for any such period to be less than 2.75:1.00. As of December 31, 2011, the Company believes it was in compliance with its financial debt covenants. Provisions in our senior credit facility currently restrict the ability of our operating subsidiary, TWCC, from paying cash dividends to our parent company, Carter’s, Inc., in excess of $15.0 million unless TWCC and its consolidated subsidiaries meet certain leverage ratio and minimum availability requirements under the credit facility, which materially restricts Carter’s, Inc. from paying cash dividends on our common stock. We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future but intend to retain future earnings, if any, for reinvestment in the future operation and expansion of our business and related development activities. Any future decision to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our financial condition, results of operations, terms of financing arrangements, capital requirements, and any other factors as our Board of Directors deems relevant. On November 17, 2009, the Company obtained a waiver to its former senior credit facility which waived defaults resulting from the untimely filing of the Company’s third quarter of fiscal 2009 financial statements and the restatement of prior period financial statements. The waiver resulted in a fee of approximately $450,000 and required the Company to deliver to the lenders the restatement of prior period financial statements and the third quarter of fiscal 2009 financial statements by January 15, 2010. The Company complied with the terms of the waiver. The Company’s third quarter of fiscal 2009 financial statements and the prior period restated financial statements were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 15, 2010. The Company complied with the terms of the waiver and was in compliance with its debt covenants as of January 15, 2010. The former senior credit facility required us to hedge at least 25% of our variable rate debt under the former term loan. The Company historically entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge the risk of interest rate fluctuations. These interest rate swap agreements were designated as cash flow hedges of the variable interest payments on a portion of our variable rate former term loan debt. In connection with the repayment of the Company’s former term loan in October 2010, the Company terminated its two remaining interest rate swap agreements totaling $100.0 million originally scheduled to mature in January 2011. During fiscal 2010 and 2009, we recorded approximately $1.7 million and $2.5 million, respectively, in interest expense related to our swap agreements. On May 25, 2006, we entered into an interest rate collar agreement with a floor of 4.3% and a ceiling of 5.5%. The collar covered $100 million of our variable rate former term loan debt and was designated as a cash flow hedge of the variable interest payments on such debt. The collar matured on January 31, 2009. In fiscal 2009, we recorded $0.5 million in interest expense related to the collar. |

During fiscal 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase authorization, pursuant to which the Company is authorized to purchase up to an additional $100 million of its outstanding common shares. As of August 13, 2010, the Company had repurchased outstanding shares in the amount totaling the entire $100 million authorized by the Board of Directors on February 16, 2007.

We have reduced common stock by the par value of such shares repurchased and have deducted the remaining excess repurchase price over par value from additional paid-in capital. Future repurchases may occur from time to time in the open market, in negotiated transactions, or otherwise. The timing and amount of any repurchases will be determined by the Company’s management, based on its evaluation of market conditions, share price, other investment priorities, and other factors.

| STOCK - BASED COMPENSATION | NOTE 7 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION: Our Board of Directors may issue preferred stock from time to time. Subject to the provisions of our certificate of incorporation and limitations prescribed by law, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to adopt resolutions to issue the shares, to fix the number of shares, and to change the number of shares constituting any series and to provide for or change the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including dividend rights (including whether dividends are cumulative), dividend rates, terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), redemption prices, conversion rights, and liquidation preferences of the shares constituting any series of the preferred stock, in each case without any further action or vote by the shareholders. Under the Company’s Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), the compensation committee of our Board of Directors may award incentive stock options (ISOs and non-ISOs), stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock, unrestricted stock, stock deliverable on a deferred basis (including restricted stock units), and performance-based stock awards intended to help defray the cost of awards. At the Company’s May 13, 2011 shareholders’ meeting, the shareholders approved a proposal to amend the Plan to (i) increase the maximum number of shares of stock available under the existing Plan by 3,725,000 shares from 12,053,392 shares to 15,778,392 shares and (ii) eliminating the Company’s ability to grant cash awards and provide tax gross-ups under the Plan. As of December 31, 2011, there are 4,084,290 shares available for grant under the Plan. The Plan makes provision for the treatment of awards upon termination of service or in the case of a merger or similar corporate transaction. Participation in the Plan is limited to Directors and those key employees selected by the compensation committee. The limit on shares available under the Plan, the individual limits, and other award terms are subject to adjustment to reflect stock splits or stock dividends, combinations, and certain other events. All stock options issued under the Plan expire no later than ten years from the date of grant. The Company believes that the current level of authorized shares is sufficient to satisfy future option exercises. Stock options issued prior to May 12, 2005 vested in equal annual installments over a five-year period. Stock options granted on and subsequent to May 12, 2005 vest in equal annual installments over a three- or four-year period. In accordance with accounting guidance on share-based payments, the Company has recorded stock-based compensation expense (as a component of selling, general, and administrative expenses) in the amount of approximately $9.6 million, $7.3 million, and $6.8 million related to stock awards for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011, January 1, 2011, and January 2, 2010, respectively. Stock Options A summary of stock option activity under the Plan (in number of shares that may be purchased) is as follows for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011:
During fiscal 2011, the Company granted 467,200 stock options. In connection with these grants of stock options, the Company recognized approximately $931,000 in stock-based compensation expense during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. A summary of stock options outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2011 is as follows:
At December 31, 2011, the aggregate intrinsic value of all outstanding stock options was approximately $34.3 million and the aggregate intrinsic value of currently exercisable stock options was approximately $21.2 million. The intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 was approximately $18.9 million. At December 31, 2011, the total estimated compensation cost related to non-vested stock options not yet recognized was approximately $7.1 million with a weighted-average expense recognition period of 2.59 years. The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing method with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants issued:
Restricted Stock Awards Restricted stock and restricted stock units (collectively, “restricted stock awards”) issued under the Plan vest based upon continued service or performance targets. The fair value of restricted stock awards is determined based on the quoted closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. Restricted stock awards vest in equal annual installments or cliff vest after a three- or four-year period. The following table summarizes our restricted stock award activity during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011:
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, the Company granted 391,000 shares of restricted stock to employees. Stock-based compensation expense recorded during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 for all restricted stock awards totaled approximately $4.9 million. The total amount of estimated compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock awards is approximately $12.0 million as of December 31, 2011. During the fiscal year ended January 3, 2009, the Company granted our Chief Executive Officer 75,000 shares of performance-based restricted stock at a fair market value of $17.92. As of December 31, 2011, the performance targets were met and 75% of this grant has vested. Vesting of the remaining unvested restricted shares is contingent upon continued employment through fiscal 2012. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, the Company granted our Chief Executive Officer 80,000 performance-based restricted shares at a fair market value of $28.39. Vesting of these shares is contingent upon meeting specific performance targets through fiscal 2014. Currently, the Company believes that these targets will be achieved and, accordingly, we will continue to record compensation expense until the restricted shares vest or the Company’s assessment of achievement of the performance criteria changes. Unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to outstanding unvested stock options and unvested restricted stock awards are expected to be recorded as follows:

| EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS | NOTE 8 – EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS: Under a defined benefit plan frozen in 1991, we offer a comprehensive post-retirement medical plan to current and certain future retirees and their spouses until they become eligible for Medicare or a Medicare Supplement Plan. We also offer life insurance to current and certain future retirees. Employee contributions are required as a condition of participation for both medical benefits and life insurance. The following is a reconciliation of the Accumulated Post-Retirement Benefit Obligation (“APBO”) under this plan:
Our contribution for these post-retirement benefit obligations was $639,000 in fiscal 2011, $532,000 in fiscal 2010, and $484,000 in fiscal 2009. We expect that our contribution and benefit payments for post-retirement benefit obligations each year from fiscal 2012 through fiscal 2016 will be approximately $600,000. We do not pre-fund this plan and as a result there are no plan assets. The measurement date used to determine the post-retirement benefit obligations is as of the end of the fiscal year. Post-retirement benefit obligations under the plan are measured on a discounted basis at an assumed discount rate. The discount rate used at December 31, 2011 was determined with primary consideration given to the Citigroup Pension Discount and Liability index adjusted for the timing of expected plan distributions. We believe this index reflects a risk-free rate with maturities that are comparable to the timing of the expected payments under the plan. The discount rate used at January 1, 2011 was determined with consideration given to the Citigroup Pension Discount and Liability index, as well as the Moody’s Aa Corporate Bond rate, and the Barclay Capital Aggregate Bond index, adjusted for the timing of expected plan distributions. The discount rates used in determining the APBO were as follows:
In conjunction with the closure of our Barnesville, Georgia distribution facility (as discussed in Note 16), the Company experienced a partial plan curtailment in fiscal 2009 for its post-retirement medical plan for future retirees working in the facility prior to the plan becoming frozen in 1991. In conjunction with this partial curtailment, a curtailment gain of $0.6 million has been recognized as income in the fiscal year ended January 2, 2010. The components of post-retirement benefit expense charged to operations are as follows:
The discount rates used in determining the net periodic post-retirement benefit costs were as follows:
The effects on our plan of all future increases in health care costs are borne primarily by employees; accordingly, increasing medical costs are not expected to have any material effect on our future financial results. We have an obligation under a defined benefit plan covering certain former officers and their spouses. At December 31, 2011 and January 1, 2011, the present value of the estimated remaining payments under this plan was approximately $0.6 million and is included in other current and long-term liabilities in the accompanying audited consolidated balance sheets. The retirement benefits under the OshKosh B’Gosh pension plan were frozen as of December 31, 2005. The Company’s investment strategy is to invest in a well diversified portfolio consisting of 12-14 mutual funds or group annuity contracts that minimize concentration of risks by utilizing a variety of asset types, fund strategies, and fund managers. The target allocation for plan assets is 50% equity securities, 42% intermediate term debt securities, and 8% real estate investments. Equity securities primarily include funds invested in large-cap and mid-cap companies, primarily located in the United States, with up to 5% of the plan assets invested in international equities. Fixed income securities include funds holding corporate bonds of companies from diverse industries, and U.S. Treasuries. Real estate funds include investments in actively managed commercial real estate projects located in the United States. The fair value hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements is as follows:
The fair value of the Company’s pension plan assets at December 31, 2011 and January 1, 2011 by asset category were as follows:
During fiscal 2011 and 2010, the Company reinvested approximately $2.6 million and $10.2 million, respectively, of Level 2 investments into Level 1 mutual funds to further diversify its investment portfolio and limit its investment in group annuity contracts. Pension liabilities are measured on a discounted basis at an assumed discount rate. The discount rate used at and December 31, 2011 and January 1, 2011 was determined with consideration given to Citigroup Pension Discount and Liability index, the Barclay Capital Aggregate Bond index, and the Moody’s Aa Corporate Bond rate, adjusted for the timing of expected plan distributions. We believe these indexes reflect a risk-free rate with maturities that are comparable to the timing of the expected payments under the plan. The expected long-term rate of return assumption considers historic returns adjusted for changes in overall economic conditions that may affect future returns and a weighting of each investment class. The actuarial computations utilized the following assumptions, using year-end measurement dates:
The net periodic pension (benefit) cost included in the statement of operations was comprised of:
A reconciliation of changes in the projected pension benefit obligation and plan assets is as follows:
A pension liability of approximately $11.5 million and $2.2 million is included in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying audited consolidated balance sheet for fiscal 2011 and 2010, respectively. We do not expect to make any contributions to the OshKosh defined benefit plan during fiscal 2012 as the plan's funding exceeds the minimum funding requirements. The Company currently expects benefit payments for its defined benefit pension plans as follows for the next ten fiscal years.
We also sponsor a defined contribution plan within the United States. This plan covers employees who are at least 21 years of age and have completed three months of service, during which at least 250 hours were served. The plan provides for a discretionary employer match. Prior to April 2009, the plan provided for an employer match amounting to 100% on the first 3% employee contribution and 50% on the next 2% employee contribution. The Company’s expense for the defined contribution plan totaled approximately $4.6 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, $4.3 million for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2011, and $1.8 million for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2010. |

| INCOME TAXES | NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES: The provision for income taxes consisted of the following:
The foreign portion of the current tax position relates to Canadian income taxes on our Canadian operations, subsequent to the Acquisition, and foreign tax withholdings related to our foreign royalty income. Of the $180.9 million of consolidated income before income taxes for fiscal 2011, $6.2 million is attributable to foreign income before taxes generated from our Canadian operations subsequent to the Acquisition and $174.7 million is attributable to domestic income before income taxes. There was no income or loss before taxes attributable to foreign income for the fiscal years ended January 1, 2011 and January 2, 2010. The difference between our effective income tax rate and the federal statutory tax rate is reconciled below:
The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the United States and in various states and local jurisdictions. The Company’s Canadian subsidiary, will file income tax returns in Canada and various Canadian provinces. The Internal Revenue Service completed its income tax audit for fiscal 2009 during fiscal 2011. The Company successfully reached a settlement on this audit without making a payment of additional tax. In most cases, the Company is no longer subject to state and local tax authority examinations for years prior to fiscal 2007. In accordance with accounting guidance on uncertain tax positions, the following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits:
During fiscal 2011, we recognized approximately $0.7 million in tax benefits consisting of $0.4 million related to the completion of the Internal Revenue Service audit for fiscal 2009 and approximately $0.3 million related to various state audit settlements. During fiscal 2010, we did not reach any audit settlements. During fiscal 2009, we recognized approximately $1.1 million in tax benefits due to the completion of the Internal Revenue Service audit for fiscal 2006 and 2007. During the fiscal 2011, 2010, and 2009, we recognized tax benefits of approximately $1.7 million, $1.2 million, and $0.4 million, respectively, relating to reserves for which various state statutes of limitations expired. All of the Company’s reserve for unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2011, if ultimately recognized, will impact the Company’s effective tax rate in the period settled. The Company has recorded tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is certain, but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductions. Because of deferred tax accounting, changes in the timing of these deductions would not impact the annual effective tax rate, but would accelerate the payment of cash to the taxing authorities. Included in the reserves for unrecognized tax benefits are approximately $2.0 million of reserves for which the statute of limitations is expected to expire within the next fiscal year. If these tax benefits are ultimately recognized, such recognition, net of federal income taxes, may impact our annual effective tax rate for fiscal 2012 and the effective tax rate in the quarter in which the benefits are recognized. We recognize interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of interest expense and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized a net reduction of interest expense of approximately $0.1 million, primarily related to unrecognized tax positions offset by the expiration of various state statutes of limitations and audit settlements. During the fiscal year ended January 1, 2011, the Company recognized a nominal amount of interest expense consisting of interest expense on unrecognized positions offset by the expiration of various state statute of limitations. During the fiscal year ended January 2, 2010, the Company recognized a net reduction in interest expense of approximately $0.1 million, primarily related to the successful resolution of the Internal Revenue Service audit for fiscal 2006 and 2007 in addition to the settlement of tax positions due to the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. The Company had approximately $0.5 million and $0.6 million of interest accrued as of December 31, 2011 and January 1, 2011, respectively. Components of deferred tax assets and liabilities were as follows:
The net deferred tax liability is classified on our accompanying audited consolidated balance sheets as follows:
We have not provided deferred taxes on undistributed earnings from our Canadian subsidiary, as the Company anticipates that these earnings will be reinvested indefinitely. Undistributed earnings from our Canadian subsidiary at December 31, 2011, amounted to approximately $6.2 million. These earnings have been reinvested in Canadian operations and we currently do not plan to initiate any action that would results in these earnings being repatriated to the U.S. Because of the availability of foreign tax credits, it is not practicable to determine the U.S. federal income tax liability that would be payable if such earnings were not reinvested indefinitely. |

| FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | NOTE 10 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS: The Company accounts for its fair value measurements in accordance with accounting guidance which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The fair value hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements is as follows:
The following table summarizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
At December 31, 2011, we had approximately $50.2 million of cash invested in money market deposit accounts. At January 1, 2011, we had approximately $151.5 million of cash invested in money market deposit accounts and $75.0 million in U.S. Treasury bills. On June 22, 2011, as part of the Acquisition, the Company entered into a forward foreign currency exchange contract to reduce its risk from exchange rate fluctuations on the purchase price of Bonnie Togs. The contract was settled on June 30, 2011 and a gain of $0.2 million was recognized in earnings. During fiscal 2011, the Company also recorded a $1.8 million gain on the mark-to-market of open foreign currency exchange contracts, a $0.4 million loss on settled foreign exchange contracts, and a $1.0 million loss on the remeasurement of Bonnie Togs’ foreign denominated payables. In connection with the Acquisition, the Company acquired open forward foreign exchange contracts which were undesignated hedges used to reduce its risk from cash flows associated with U.S. dollar denominated inventory purchases. As part of its overall strategy to manage the level of exposure to the risk of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, primarily exposure to changes in the value of the U.S. dollar in relation to the Canadian dollar, the Company hedges a portion of its foreign currency exposures anticipated over the ensuing twelve-month period. The Company uses foreign exchange contracts that generally have maturities of up to 12 months to provide continuing coverage throughout the hedging period. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had contracts for the purchase of $24.5 million of U.S. dollars at fixed rates. The fair value of these forward contracts was an asset of $0.6 million. The Company accounts for these foreign exchange contracts as undesignated positions in accordance with accounting standards on derivatives and hedging. As such, these positions are marked to fair value through earnings at each reporting date. As of December 31, 2011, the fair value of the Company’s outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility of $236.0 million approximates book value. The fair value of the discounted contingent consideration liability was approximately $25.6 million as of December 31, 2011. The $1.2 million change in fair value during fiscal 2011, reflects accretion expense of approximately $2.5 million partially offset by $1.3 million in accumulated other comprehensive income reflecting a favorable foreign currency translation adjustment. The Company determined the fair value of the contingent consideration based upon a probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis. The fair value of our derivative instruments in our accompanying audited consolidated balance sheets were as follows:
The effect of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges on our accompanying audited consolidated financial statements were as follows:
The effect of undesignated derivative instruments on our accompanying audited consolidated financial statements was as follows:

| LEASE COMMITMENTS | NOTE 11 – LEASE COMMITMENTS: Rent expense under operating leases was approximately $84.6 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, $70.1 million for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2011, and $65.2 million for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2010. Minimum annual rental commitments under current noncancellable operating leases as of December 31, 2011 were as follows:
We currently operate 529 leased retail stores located primarily in outlet and strip centers across the United States, having an average size of approximately 4,600 square feet. In addition, we operate 65 leased retail stores in Canada, having an average size of approximately 5,500 square feet. Generally, the majority of our leases have an average term of approximately ten years. In accordance with accounting guidance on leases, we review all of our leases to determine whether they qualify as operating or capital leases. As of December 31, 2011, all of our leases are classified as operating. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the asset or current lease term. We account for free rent periods and scheduled rent increases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Landlord allowances and incentives are recorded as deferred rent and are amortized as a reduction to rent expense over the lease term. |

| COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES [Abstract] | |
| COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | NOTE 12 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: A shareholder class action lawsuit was filed on September 19, 2008 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia entitled Plymouth County Retirement System v. Carter’s, Inc., No. 1:08-CV-02940-JOF (the “Plymouth Action”). The Amended Complaint filed on May 12, 2009 in the Plymouth Action asserted claims under Sections 10(b), 20(a), and 20A of the 1934 Securities Exchange Act, and alleged that between February 1, 2006 and July 24, 2007, the Company and certain current and former executives made material misrepresentations to investors regarding the successful integration of OshKosh into the Company’s business, and that the share price of the Company’s stock later fell when the market learned that the integration had not been as successful as represented. Defendants in the Plymouth Action filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint for failure to state a claim under the federal securities laws on July 17, 2009, and briefing of that motion was complete on October 22, 2009. A separate shareholder class action lawsuit was filed on November 17, 2009 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia entitled Mylroie v. Carter’s, Inc., No. 1:09-CV-3196-JOF (the “Mylroie Action”). The initial Complaint in the Mylroie Action asserted claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the 1934 Securities Exchange Act, and alleged that between April 27, 2004 and November 10, 2009, the Company and certain current and former executives made material misstatements to investors regarding the Company’s accounting for discounts offered to some wholesale customers. The Court consolidated the Plymouth Action and the Mylroie Action on November 24, 2009 (the “Consolidated Action”). On March 15, 2010, the plaintiffs in the Consolidated Action filed their amended and consolidated complaint. The Company filed a motion to dismiss on April 30, 2010, and briefing of the motion was complete on July 23, 2010. On March 16, 2011, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia granted without prejudice the Company’s motion to dismiss all of the claims in the amended and consolidated complaint in the Consolidated Action for failure to state a claim under the federal securities laws. The plaintiffs filed a second amended and consolidated complaint on July 20, 2011. On December 21, 2011, the Company reached an agreement to settle the Consolidated Action for an amount which has been paid by the Company’s insurance providers. The settlement agreement includes no admission of liability or wrongdoing by the Company or by any other defendants and provides for a full and complete release of all related claims that were or could have been brought against the Company, its subsidiaries, and any and all current and former directors, officers, and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. On January 19, 2012, the Court granted preliminary approval of the settlement and ordered that notice be provided to the proposed settlement class (as defined in the settlement agreement). The Court has scheduled a hearing for May 31, 2012 to determine whether the settlement will receive final approval. A shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed on May 25, 2010 in the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia, entitled Alvarado v. Bloom, No. 2010-cv-186118 (the “Alvarado Action”). The Complaint in the Alvarado Action alleged, among other things, that certain current and former directors and executives of the Company breached their fiduciary duties to the Company in connection with the Company’s accounting for discounts offered to some wholesale customers. The Company was named solely as a nominal defendant against whom the plaintiff sought no recovery. Pursuant to an agreement among the parties, on February 22, 2012 the parties filed a joint stipulation to dismiss the Alvarado Action without prejudice, which the Court granted later that same day. We are subject to various federal, state, and local laws that govern activities or operations that may have adverse environmental effects. Noncompliance with these laws and regulations can result in significant liabilities, penalties, and costs. From time to time, our operations have resulted or may result in noncompliance with or liability pursuant to environmental laws. Generally, compliance with environmental laws has not had a material impact on our operations, but there can be no assurance that future compliance with such laws will not have a material adverse effect on our operations. We also have other commitments and contingent liabilities related to legal proceedings, self-insurance programs, and matters arising out of the normal course of business. We accrue contingencies based upon a range of possible outcomes. If no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other, then we accrue the minimum amount. Management does not anticipate that in the aggregate such losses would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or liquidity; however, it is possible that the final outcomes could have a significant impact on the Company’s reported results of operations in any given period. As of December 31, 2011, we have entered into various purchase order commitments with our suppliers for merchandise for resale that approximates $510.0 million. We can cancel these arrangements, although in some instances, we may be subject to a termination charge reflecting a percentage of work performed prior to cancellation. |

| SEGMENT INFORMATION | NOTE 15 – SEGMENT INFORMATION: We report segment information in accordance with accounting guidance on segment reporting, which requires segment information to be disclosed based upon a “management approach.” The management approach refers to the internal reporting that is used by management for making operating decisions and assessing the performance of our reportable segments. We report our corporate expenses and acquisition-related expenses separately as they are not included in the internal measures of segment operating performance used by the Company in order to measure the underlying performance of our reportable segments. Segment results include the direct costs of each segment and all other costs are allocated based upon detailed estimates and analysis of actual time and expenses incurred to support the operations of each segment or units produced or sourced to support each segment’s revenue. Certain costs, including incentive compensation for certain employees, and various other general corporate costs that are not specifically allocable to our segments, are included in corporate expenses below. Intersegment sales and transfers are recorded at cost and are treated as a transfer of inventory. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. In light of the Acquisition, the Company reevaluated and realigned certain of its reportable segments. As a result, the Company’s reportable segments include a new international segment reflecting our new Canadian operations, our existing international wholesale business, and royalty income from our international licensees. In addition, the Company combined its historical mass channel segments with its wholesale segments. The Company believes these changes in segment reporting better reflect how its five business segments, Carter’s wholesale, Carter’s retail, OshKosh retail, OshKosh wholesale, and international, are managed and how each segment’s performance is evaluated. Effective October 1, 2011, the Company changed its segment presentation to reflect this new structure, and recast all prior periods presented to conform to the new presentation. The table below presents certain segment information for the periods indicated:
In fiscal 2011, no one customer accounted for 10% or more of our consolidated net sales. In fiscal 2010 and 2009, one customer accounted for approximately 10% of our consolidated net sales. The table below represents inventory, net, by segment:
Wholesale inventories include inventory produced and warehoused for the retail segment. The following represents property, plant, and equipment, net, by geographic area:
In connection with the change in our reportable segments discussed above, we have reallocated the goodwill for December 31, 2011 to conform to the new reportable segments on a relative fair value basis. The following represents goodwill by segment:

| WORKFORCE REDUCTION, FACILITY WRITE-DOWN, AND CLOSURE COSTS | NOTE 16 – WORKFORCE REDUCTION, FACILITY WRITE-DOWN, AND CLOSURE COSTS: Corporate Workforce Reduction On April 21, 2009, the Company announced to affected employees a plan to reduce its corporate workforce (defined as excluding retail district managers, hourly retail store employees, and distribution center employees). Approximately 150 employees were affected under the plan. The plan included consolidating the majority of our operations performed in our Oshkosh, Wisconsin office into other Company locations. This consolidation has resulted in the addition of resources in our other locations. As a result of this corporate workforce reduction, during fiscal 2009, we recorded net charges of $6.7 million consisting of $5.5 million in severance charges and other benefits ($3.3 million which related to corporate office positions in connection with our existing plan and $2.2 million of special one-time benefits provided to affected employees), and approximately $1.2 million in asset impairment charges net of a gain related to the closure and sale of our Oshkosh, Wisconsin office. As of January 1, 2011, there were no remaining liabilities related to the corporate workforce reduction. Barnesville Distribution Facility Closure On April 2, 2009, the Company announced to affected employees a plan to close its Barnesville, Georgia distribution facility. Approximately 210 employees were affected by this closure. Operations at the Barnesville facility ceased on June 1, 2009. In conjunction with the plan to close the Barnesville, Georgia distribution facility, the Company recorded approximately $4.3 million during fiscal 2009, consisting of severance of $1.7 million, asset impairment charges of $1.1 million related to the write-down of the related land, building, and equipment, $1.0 million of accelerated depreciation (included in selling, general, and administrative expenses), and $0.5 million of other closure costs. On February 21, 2011, the Company sold the facility for zero net proceeds. As of December 31, 2011, there was approximately $0.1 million of restructuring reserves included in other current liabilities on the accompanying audited consolidated balance sheet related to this closure. White House, Tennessee Distribution Facility The Company continually evaluates opportunities to reduce its supply chain complexity and lower costs. In the first quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company determined that OshKosh brand products could be effectively distributed through its other distribution facilities and third-party logistics providers. On February 15, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors approved management’s plan to close the Company’s OshKosh distribution facility, which was utilized to distribute the Company’s OshKosh brand products. During fiscal 2009, the Company wrote down the carrying value of its White House, Tennessee distribution facility by approximately $0.7 million to $2.8 million to reflect the decrease in the fair market value. During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company sold the facility for net proceeds of approximately $2.8 million. |

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)
|
12 Months Ended |
|---|---|

Dec. 31, 2011
|
|
| SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract] | |
| PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION | PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Carter's, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. |
| FISCAL YEAR | FISCAL YEAR: Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday, in December or January, nearest the last day of December. The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements reflect our financial position as of December 31, 2011 and January 1, 2011 and results of operations for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011, January 1, 2011, and January 2, 2010. The fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 (fiscal 2011), January 1, 2011 (fiscal 2010), and January 2, 2010 (fiscal 2009), each contain 52 weeks. |
| USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
| FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION AND TRANSACTIONS | FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION AND TRANSACTIONS: The functional currency of the Company's foreign operations is the local currency. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, while revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within the audited consolidated statements of changes in stockholders' equity. The Company also recognizes gains and losses on transactions that are denominated in a currency other than the respective entity's functional currency. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses include the mark-to-market adjustment related to open foreign currency exchange contracts, amounts realized on the settlement of foreign currency exchange contracts, and intercompany loans with foreign subsidiaries that are of a short-term investment nature. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recognized in earnings and separately disclosed in the audited consolidated statements of operations. |
| CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS | CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: We consider all highly liquid investments that have original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Our cash and cash equivalents consist of deposit accounts and cash management funds invested in U.S. Treasury securities. We had cash deposits, in excess of deposit insurance limits, in two U.S. banks and one Canadian bank at December 31, 2011. |
| ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE | ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE: Approximately 79.9% of our gross accounts receivable at December 31, 2011 and 82.9% at January 1, 2011 were from our ten largest wholesale customers. Of these customers, three had individual receivable balances in excess of 10% of our gross accounts receivable (but not more than 19%) at December 31, 2011. At January 1, 2011, four customers had individual receivable balances in excess of 10% of our gross accounts receivable (but not more than 17%). Sales to these customers represent 72.9% and 78.6% of total wholesale net sales for fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010, respectively. In fiscal 2011, no one customer accounted for 10% or more of our consolidated net sales. In fiscal 2010, one customer accounted for approximately 10% of our consolidated net sales. |
| INVENTORIES | INVENTORIES: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis for wholesale inventory and average cost for retail inventories) or market. We provide reserves for slow-moving inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. |
| PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT | PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT: Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. When fixed assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the accounts are relieved of the original cost of the assets, and the related accumulated depreciation and any resulting profit or loss is credited or charged to income. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation and amortization are computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: buildings from 15 to 26 years and retail store fixtures, equipment, and computers from 3 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements and fixed assets purchased under capital leases, if any, are amortized over the lesser of the asset life or related lease term. We capitalize the cost of our fixtures designed and purchased for use at major wholesale accounts. The cost of these fixtures is amortized over a three-year period. |
| GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBILE ASSETS | GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBILE ASSETS: In connection with the Acquisition, the Company recorded estimates of goodwill and other intangible assets including a Bonnie Togs tradename and non-compete agreements for certain executives of Bonnie Togs, in accordance with accounting guidance on business combinations. Goodwill as of December 31, 2011, represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition of Carter's, Inc., which was consummated on August 15, 2001, and the acquisition of Bonnie Togs, which was consummated on June 30, 2011, over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Our goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The OshKosh tradename was recorded in connection with the acquisition of OshKosh on July 14, 2005 and adjusted in fiscal 2007 to reflect the impairment of the value. Our Carter's and Bonnie Togs goodwill and Carter's and OshKosh tradenames are deemed to have indefinite lives and are not being amortized. The Bonnie Togs tradename and non-compete agreements for certain executives have definite lives and are being amortized over two and four years, respectively. The carrying values of the goodwill and tradename assets are subject to annual impairment reviews in accordance with accounting guidance on goodwill and other intangible assets, as of the last day of each fiscal year. Impairment reviews may also be triggered by any significant events or changes in circumstances affecting our business. Factors affecting such impairment reviews include the continued market acceptance of our offered products and the development of new products. Based upon our most recent assessment performed as of December 31, 2011, we determined that there is no impairment of our goodwill or tradename assets. We use discounted cash flow models to determine the fair value of these assets, using assumptions we believe hypothetical marketplace participants would use. For indefinite-lived intangible assets, if the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount equal to that excess. We perform impairment tests of our goodwill at our reporting unit level. The goodwill impairment test consists of a two-step process, if necessary. The first step is to compare the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. The assumptions used in these models are consistent with those we believe hypothetical marketplace participants would use. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the second step of the impairment test must be performed in order to determine the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment charge is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The loss recognized cannot exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. A deterioration of macroeconomic conditions may not only negatively impact the estimated operating cash flows used in our cash flow models, but may also negatively impact other assumptions used in our analyses, including, but not limited to, the estimated cost of capital and/or discount rates. Additionally, as discussed above, in accordance with accounting guidance, we are required to ensure that assumptions used to determine fair value in our analyses are consistent with the assumptions a hypothetical marketplace participant would use. As a result, the cost of capital and/or discount rates used in our analyses may increase or decrease based on market conditions and trends, regardless of whether our Company's actual cost of capital has changed. Therefore, our Company may recognize an impairment of an intangible asset or assets even though realized actual cash flows are approximately equal to or greater than our previously forecasted amounts. |
| IMPAIRMENT OF OTHER LONG-LIVED ASSETS | IMPAIRMENT OF OTHER LONG-LIVED ASSETS: We review other long-lived assets, including property, plant, and equipment, and licensing agreements, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such an asset may not be recoverable. Management will determine whether there has been a permanent impairment on such assets held for use in the business by comparing anticipated undiscounted future cash flows from the use and eventual disposition of the asset or asset group to the carrying value of the asset. The amount of any resulting impairment will be calculated by comparing the carrying value to fair value, which may be estimated using the present value of the same cash flows. Long-lived assets that meet the definition of held for sale will be valued at the lower of carrying amount or fair value. |
| DEFERRED DEBT ISSUANCE COSTS | DEFERRED DEBT ISSUANCE COSTS: Debt issuance costs are deferred and amortized to interest expense using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method, over the life of the related debt. During the second quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company wrote off approximately $0.5 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the $100 million prepayment of a portion of its former term loan debt. On October 15, 2010, the Company entered into a $375 million ($130 million sub-limit for letters of credit and a swing line sub-limit of $40 million) revolving credit facility with Bank of America as sole lead arranger and administrative agent, JP Morgan Chase Bank as syndication agent, and other financial institutions. The revolving credit facility was immediately drawn upon to pay off the Company's former term loan of $232.2 million and pay transaction fees and expenses of $3.8 million, leaving approximately $130 million available under the revolver for future borrowings (net of letters of credit of approximately $8.6 million). In connection with the repayment of the Company's former term loan, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 the Company wrote off approximately $1.2 million in unamortized debt issuance costs. In addition, in connection with the revolving credit facility, the Company recorded $3.5 million of debt issuance costs to be amortized over the term of the revolving credit facility (five years). Amortization approximated $0.7 million, $0.9 million (exclusive of $1.7 million related to prepayments), and $1.1 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011, January 1, 2011, and January 2, 2010, respectively. |
| CASH FLOW HEDGES | CASH FLOW HEDGES: Our former senior credit facility required us to hedge at least 25% of our variable rate debt under this facility. The Company entered into interest rate swap agreements in order to hedge the risk of interest rate fluctuations. These interest rate swap agreements were designated as cash flow hedges of the variable interest payments on a portion of our variable rate former term loan debt. Our interest rate swap agreements were traded in the over-the-counter market. Fair values were based on quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities or determined using inputs that use as their basis readily observable market data that are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including third-party pricing services, brokers, and market transactions. |
| ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE (LOSS) INCOME | ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE (LOSS) INCOME: Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, shown as a component of stockholders' equity on the accompanying audited consolidated balance sheets, reflects adjustments to the Company's defined benefit and post-retirement plan assets and liabilities as of the end of the year, and the gains and losses and prior service costs or credits, net of tax, that arise during the period but that are not recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost pursuant to accounting guidance on pensions and post-retirement benefits. Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income also includes cumulative translation adjustments related to the translation of Company's foreign results. The functional currency of the Company's foreign operations is the local currency. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, while revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Included in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income are realized gains and unrealized gains or losses on the Company's interest rate swap and collar agreements, net of taxes, which are not included in the determination of net income. These realized gains and unrealized gains and losses are recorded directly into accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income and are referred to as comprehensive (loss) income items. |
| REVENUE RECOGNITION | REVENUE RECOGNITION: Revenues consist of sales to customers, net of returns, accommodations, allowances, deductions, and cooperative advertising. We consider revenue realized or realizable and earned when the product has been shipped, when title passes, when all risks and rewards of ownership have transferred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. In certain cases, in which we retain the risk of loss during shipment, revenue recognition does not occur until the goods have reached the specified customer. In the normal course of business, we grant certain accommodations and allowances to our wholesale domestic and international customers. We provide accommodations and allowances to our major wholesale customers in order to assist these customers with inventory clearance and promotions. Such amounts are reflected as a reduction of net sales and are recorded based on agreements with customers, historical trends, and annual forecasts. Retail store revenues are recognized at the point of sale. We reduce revenue for customer returns and deductions. We also maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make payments and other actual and estimated deductions. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, an additional allowance could be required. Past due balances over 90 days are reviewed individually for collectability. Our credit and collections department reviews all other balances regularly. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when we feel it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. We contract with a third-party service to provide us with the fair value of cooperative advertising arrangements entered into with certain of our major wholesale customers. Such fair value is determined based upon, among other factors, comparable market analysis for similar advertisements. In accordance with accounting guidance on consideration given by a vendor to a customer/reseller, we have included the fair value of these arrangements of approximately $3.6 million in fiscal 2011, $4.0 million in fiscal 2010, and $3.3 million in fiscal 2009 as a component of selling, general, and administrative expenses on the accompanying audited consolidated statement of operations rather than as a reduction of revenue. Amounts determined to be in excess of the fair value of these arrangements are recorded as a reduction of net sales. |
| ACCOUNTING FOR SHIPPING AND HANDLING FEES AND COSTS | ACCOUNTING FOR SHIPPING AND HANDLING FEES AND COSTS: Shipping and handling costs include related labor costs, third-party shipping costs, shipping supplies, and certain distribution overhead. Such costs are generally absorbed by us and are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses. These costs amounted to approximately $45.2 million for fiscal 2011, $33.3 million for fiscal 2010, and $31.9 million for fiscal 2009. With respect to the freight component of our shipping and handling costs, certain customers arrange for shipping and pay the related freight costs directly to third parties. However, in the event that we arrange and pay the freight for these customers and bill them for this service, such amounts billed are included in revenue and the related cost is charged to cost of goods sold. In addition, shipping and handling costs billed to our eCommerce customers are included in revenue and the related cost is charged to cost of goods sold. For fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009, the Company billed customers approximately $5.3 million, $1.5 million, and $0.1 million, respectively. |
| ROYALTIES AND LICENSE FEES | ROYALTIES AND LICENSE FEES: We license the Carter's, Just One You, Precious Firsts, Child of Mine, OshKosh B'gosh, OshKosh, and Genuine Kids from OshKosh trademarks to other companies for use on baby and young children's products, including bedding, outerwear, sleepwear, shoes, underwear, socks, room d�cor, toys, stationery, hair accessories, furniture, gear and related products. These royalties are recorded as earned, based upon the sales of licensed products by our licensees and reported as royalty income in the statement of operations. |
| STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS | STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS: In accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of accounting guidance on share-based payments, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for its share-based payments based on the fair value of the awards at the grant date. We determine the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires the use of the following subjective assumptions: Volatility - This is a measure of the amount by which a stock price has fluctuated or is expected to fluctuate. The Company uses actual monthly historical changes in the market value of our stock covering the expected life of options being valued. An increase in the expected volatility will increase stock-based compensation expense. Risk-free interest rate - This is the U.S. Treasury rate as of the grant date having a term equal to the expected term of the stock option. An increase in the risk-free interest rate will increase stock-based compensation expense. Expected term - This is the period of time over which the stock options granted are expected to remain outstanding and is based on historical experience and estimated future exercise behavior. Separate groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes. An increase in the expected term will increase stock-based compensation expense. Dividend yield - The Company does not have plans to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. An increase in the dividend yield will decrease stock-based compensation expense. Forfeitures - The Company estimates forfeitures of stock-based awards based on historical experience and expected future activity. Changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect the estimate of fair value of stock-based compensation and consequently, the related amount recognized in the accompanying audited consolidated statements of operations. The Company accounts for its performance-based awards in accordance with accounting guidance on share-based payments and records stock-based compensation expense over the vesting term of the awards that are expected to vest based on whether it is probable that the performance criteria will be achieved. The Company reassesses the probability of vesting at each reporting period for awards with performance criteria and adjusts stock-based compensation expense based on its probability assessment. The fair value of restricted stock is determined based on the quoted closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. |
| INCOME TAXES | INCOME TAXES: The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements reflect current and deferred tax provisions. The deferred tax provision is determined under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities using presently enacted tax rates. Valuation allowances are established when it is "more likely than not" that a deferred tax asset will not be recovered. The provision for income taxes is generally the sum of the amount of income taxes paid or payable for the year as determined by applying the provisions of enacted tax laws to the taxable income for that year, the net change during the year in our deferred tax assets and liabilities, and the net change during the year in any valuation allowances. We assess our income tax positions and record tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon management's evaluation of the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting dates. For those uncertain tax positions where it is "more likely than not" that a tax benefit will be sustained, we have recorded the largest amount of tax benefit with a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions where it is not "more likely than not" that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit has been recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Where applicable, associated interest is also recognized and recorded in interest expense. |
| EARNINGS PER SHARE | EARNINGS PER SHARE: The Company calculates basic and diluted net income per common share in accordance with accounting guidance which requires earnings per share to be calculated pursuant to the two-class method for unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid). Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income for the period by the weighted-average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share includes the effect of dilutive instruments, such as stock options and restricted stock awards, and uses the average share price for the period in determining the number of shares that are to be added to the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. |
| EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS | EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS: The Company accounts for its employee benefit plans in accordance with accounting guidance on defined benefit pension and other post-retirement plans which requires an employer to recognize the over-funded or under-funded status of a defined benefit post-retirement plan (other than a multi-employer plan) as an asset or liability on its balance sheet. It also requires an employer to recognize as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax, the gains or losses and prior service costs or credits that arise during the period but are not recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification 715-30. These costs are then subsequently recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost in the consolidated statement of operations. We adjusted accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income related to the Company's post-retirement benefit obligations by approximately $98,000, or $62,000, net of tax, in fiscal 2011, $0.3 million, or $0.2 million, net of tax, in fiscal 2010, and $0.2 million, or $0.1 million, net of tax, in fiscal 2009 to reflect changes in underlying assumptions including projected claims and population. In addition, the Company recorded an unrealized loss of $9.9 million, or $6.2 million, net of tax, in fiscal 2011, an unrealized gain of $1.8 million, or $1.1 million, net of tax, in fiscal 2010, and an unrealized gain of $3.7 million, or $2.3 million, net of tax, during fiscal 2009 to the OshKosh pension plan asset and accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income to reflect changes in the funded status of this plan. |
