Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block] Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries in which it maintains a controlling financial interest.All account balances and transactions between the Company and the subsidiaries which it controls have been eliminated. Investments in companies where the Company is able to exercise significant influence, but not control, are accounted for by the equity method.For transactions with entities accounted for under the equity method, any intercompany profits on amounts still remaining are eliminated.Amounts originating from any deferral of intercompany profits are recorded within either the Company's investment account or the account balance to which the transaction specifically relates (e.g., inventory).Only upon settlement of the intercompany transaction with a third party is the deferral of the intercompany profit recognized by the Company.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, certain financial statement disclosures at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period.The Company's consolidated financial statements include amounts that are based on management's best estimates and judgments.Actual results may vary from these estimates.These estimates are reviewed periodically to determine if a change is required.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block] Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash equivalents are defined as highly liquid, short-term investments having an original maturity of three months or less. Book overdrafts, for which the bank has not advanced cash, if any, are reclassified to current liabilities.
Receivables, Policy [Policy Text Block] Receivables .Receivables are stated at their net realizable value.Allowances are provided for known and potential losses arising from yarn quality claims and for amounts owed by customers.Reserves for yarn quality claims are based on historical experience and known pending claims and are recorded as a reduction of net sales.The allowance for uncollectible accounts is shown as a reduction of operating income and reflects the Company's best estimate of probable losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio determined on the basis of historical experience, aging of trade receivables, specific allowances for known troubled accounts and other currently available information.Customer accounts are written off against the allowance for uncollectible accounts when they are no longer deemed to be collectible.
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block] Inventories. The Company's inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market with the cost for the majority of its inventory determined using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method.Certain foreign inventories and limited categories of domestic supplies inventories are valued using the average cost method.The Company's estimates for inventory reserves for any obsolete, slow-moving or excess inventories are based upon many factors including historical recovery rates, the aging of inventories on-hand, inventory movement and expected net realizable value of specific products, and current economic conditions.
Deferred Charges, Policy [Policy Text Block] Debt Financing Fees. The Company capitalizes costs associated with the financing of its debt obligations. These costs are amortized as additional interest expense following either the effective interest method or the straight-line method.In the event of any prepayment of its debt obligations, the Company accelerates the recognition of a pro-rata amount of issuance costs and records an extinguishment of debt.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block] Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment ("PP&E") are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation.New additions and any improvements that substantially extend the useful life of a particular asset are capitalized.Depreciation is calculated primarily utilizing the straight-line method over the following useful lives: Asset categories Useful lives in years Land improvements Twenty Buildings and improvements Fifteen to Forty Machinery and equipment Seven to Fifteen Computer, software and office equipment Three to Seven Internal software development costs Three Other assets Three to Seven Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or the remaining term of the lease.Assets under capital leases are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or the lease term. The Company capitalizes its costs of developing internal software when the software is used as an integral part of its manufacturing or business processes and the technological feasibility has been established.Internal software costs are amortized over a period of three years and charged to cost of sales and selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses in accordance with the project type. Fully depreciated assets are retained in property and accumulated depreciation accounts until they are removed from service.In the case of disposals, asset costs and related accumulated depreciation amounts are removed from the accounts, and the net amounts, less proceeds from disposal, are included in the determination of net income and presented within Other operating expense (income), net. Repair and maintenance costs related to PP&E which do not significantly increase the useful life of an existing asset or do not significantly alter, modify or change the capabilities or production capacity of an existing asset are expensed as incurred. Interest is capitalized when a capital project exceeds certain thresholds and requires a long-term construction period in which to bring it to the condition and location for its intended use. PP&E is tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable.Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are classified as held for sale and are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.Depreciation ceases for all assets classified as held for sale.Long-lived assets to be disposed of other than by sale are classified as held for use until they are disposed of and these assets are reported at the lower of their carrying amount orestimated fair value.
Intangible Assets, Finite-Lived, Policy [Policy Text Block] Intangible Assets. Finite-lived intangible assets, such ascustomer lists and non-compete agreements are amortized over their estimated useful lives.The Company periodically evaluates the reasonableness of the useful lives of these assets.Once these assets are fully amortized, they are removed from the accounts.These assets are reviewed for impairment or obsolescence when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.If impaired, intangible assets are written down to fair value based on discounted cash flows or other valuation techniques.The Company has no intangibles with indefinite lives.
Equity Method Investments, Policy [Policy Text Block] Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates .The Company evaluates its investments in unconsolidated affiliates for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.The Company evaluates whether or not the affiliate is able to generate and sustain sufficient earnings and cash flows to justify its carrying value.
Asset Retirement Obligations, Policy [Policy Text Block] Asset Retirement Obligations. The Company records asset retirement obligations at fair value at the time the liability is incurred and an estimate of the obligation can be made.The associated asset retirement obligations are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset and depreciated over the estimated remaining useful life of the asset.A gain or loss on settlement is recognized if the obligation is settled for other than the carrying amount of the liability.
Derivatives, Policy [Policy Text Block] Derivative Instruments. All derivatives are carried on the balance sheet at fair value and are classified according to their derivative position and the expected timing of settlement.On the date the derivative contract is entered into, the Company may designate the derivative into one of the following categories: Fair value hedge - a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset, liability or a firm commitment.Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualifying as a fair-value hedge, as well as the offsetting gains and losses on the hedged items, are reported in income in the same period. Cash flow hedge - a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability.The effective portion of gains and losses on cash flow hedges are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), until the underlying transactions are recognized in income.When the hedged item is realized, gains or losses are reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to current period earnings on the same line item as the underlying transaction. Net investment hedge - if a derivative is used as a foreign currency hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, its changes in fair value, to the extent effective as a hedge, are recorded in foreign currency translation adjustments in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Derivatives that are not designated for hedge accounting are marked to market at the end of each period with the changes in fair value recognized in current period earnings.Any ineffective portion of designated hedges is immediately recognized in current period earnings.Settlements of any fair value or cash flow derivative contracts are classified as cash flows from operating activities.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block] Fair Value Measurements. The accounting guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market, or if none exists, the most advantageous market, for the specific asset or liability at the measurement date (the exit price).Fair value is based on assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.The Company uses the following to measure fair value for its assets and liabilities: Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either indirectly or directly Level 3 - Unobservable inputs reflecting management's own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability The classification of assets and liabilities within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block] Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes is determined using the asset and liability approach of accounting for income taxes.Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the tax rate expected to be in effect when taxes are settled or realized.The effect on deferred income taxes of a change in tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized.In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized.The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.Management considers the scheduled reversal of taxable temporary differences, taxable income in carryback periods, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Provision is made for taxes on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries and related companies to the extent that such earnings are not deemed to be permanently invested. The Company recognizes the financial statement effects of an uncertain income tax position when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination by a competent taxing authority.The Company accrues for other tax contingencies when it is probable that a liability to a taxing authority has been incurred and the amount of the contingency can be reasonably estimated.Income tax expense related to penalties and interest, if incurred, are included in the provision for income taxes.
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block] Stock-Based Compensation. Compensation expense for stock awards is based on the grant date fair value and expensed over the applicable vesting period.The Company has a policy of issuing new shares to satisfy share option exercises.For awards with a service condition and a graded vesting schedule, the Company has elected an accounting policy of recognizing compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separate vesting portion of the award as if the award was, in-substance, multiple awards.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block] Foreign Currency Translation. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar are translated at exchange rates existing at the respective balance sheet dates.Translation gains and losses are not included in determining net income, but are presented in a separate component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).The Company translates the results of operations of its foreign operations at the average exchange rates during the respective periods. Transaction gains and losses are included in determining net income and are presented within Other operating expense (income), net.

Liability Reserve Estimate, Policy [Policy Text Block] Self Insurance. The Company self-insures certain risks such as employee healthcare claims.Reserves for incurred but not reported healthcare claims are estimated using historical data, the timeliness of claims processing, medical trends, inflation and any changes, if applicable, in the nature or type of the plan.
Commitments and Contingencies, Policy [Policy Text Block] Contingencies .At any point in time, the Company may be a party to various pending legal proceedings, claims or environmental actions.Accruals for estimated losses are recorded at the time information becomes available indicating that losses are probable and that the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.Any amounts accrued are not discounted.Legal costs such as outside counsel fees and expenses are charged to expense as incurred.
