Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. | Basis of Presentation |
|
The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 24, 2007 has been derived from the audited
financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes
required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for complete financial
statements. Except as noted with respect to the balance sheet at June 24, 2007, this
information is unaudited and reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary to present fairly the financial position at December 23, 2007, and the results of
operations and cash flows for the periods ended December 23, 2007 and December 24, 2006. Such
adjustments consisted of normal recurring items necessary for fair presentation in conformity
with U.S. GAAP. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results may differ from these estimates. Interim results are not necessarily indicative
of results for a full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in
conjunction with Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations and the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended June 24, 2007. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to
conform to current year presentation. |
||
The significant accounting policies followed by the Company are presented on pages 62 to 68 of
the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 24, 2007. |
||
2. | Inventories |
|
For a discussion of the Companys significant accounting policies, see Note 1 Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements section of
the Companys Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 24, 2007. As of the date hereof, there
has been no significant developments with respect to significant accounting policies since June
24, 2007, other than the following: |
||
Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in,
first-out method. |
||
Inventories are comprised of the following (amounts in thousands): |
December 23, | June 24, | |||||||
2007 | 2007 | |||||||
Raw materials and supplies |
$ | 51,997 | $ | 49,690 | ||||
Work in process |
5,708 | 8,171 | ||||||
Finished goods |
63,375 | 74,421 | ||||||
$ | 121,080 | $ | 132,282 | |||||
On June 25, 2007, the Company changed its method of accounting for certain inventories from
last-in, first-out (LIFO) method to the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The Company
applied this change in method of inventory costing by retrospective application to the prior
years financial statements. The Company believes the change is preferable because the FIFO
inventory method is predominantly used in the industry in which the Company operates; and
therefore, the change will make the comparison of results among these companies more consistent.
The Company also believes that the FIFO method provides a more meaningful presentation of
financial position because it reflects more recent costs in the balance sheet. Moreover, the
change also conforms all of the Companys raw material, work-in-process and finished goods
inventories to a single costing method.

Note: The disclosure is selective in nature and only addresses the specific accounting
impact from the change in inventory accounting methods. The disclosure does not address
other potential effects (whether financial or operational) that could have impacted the
Companys results of operations or financial position if the Company had elected to remain
on the LIFO accounting method for inventories during the thirteen weeks and twenty six
weeks ended December 23, 2007.
As a result of the accounting change, retained earnings as of June 24, 2007 increased $5.0
million from $265.8 million, as originally reported using the LIFO method for certain
inventories, to $270.8 million using the FIFO method.

4. | Income Taxes |
|
The Companys income tax benefit for the quarter ended December 23, 2007 resulted in an
effective tax rate of (42.3)% compared to the quarter ended December 24, 2006 which resulted in
an effective tax rate of (8.1)%. The Companys income tax benefit for the year-to-date period
ended December 23, 2007 resulted in an effective tax rate of (42.7)% compared to the
year-to-date period ended December 24, 2006 which resulted in an effective tax rate of (7.1)%.
The primary differences between the Companys income tax benefit and the U.S. statutory rate for
the quarter and year-to-date period ended December 23, 2007 were losses from certain foreign
operations taxed at a lower effective rate, state income tax benefit, and a decrease in the
valuation allowance. |
||
Deferred income taxes have been provided for the temporary differences between financial
statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. The Company
has established a valuation allowance to completely offset its U.S. net deferred tax asset. The
valuation allowance decreased $1.7 million and $6.8 million in the quarter and year-to date
period ended December 23, 2007, respectively, compared to a $5.1 million increase in both the
quarter and year-to-date period ended December 24, 2006. The decrease in the valuation allowance
for the quarter ended December 23, 2007 was primarily due to a reduction in estimated capital
losses related to certain fixed assets and lower estimates of future realization of U.S. loss
carryforwards and other deductible items. The decrease in the valuation allowance for the
year-to-date period ended December 23, 2007 was primarily due to the derecognition of unrealized
tax benefits with respect to North Carolina income tax credit carryforwards, a reduction in
estimated capital losses related to certain fixed assets offset by lower estimates of future
realization of U.S. loss carryforwards and other deductible items. |
||
On June 25, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48
clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial
statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48
prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement
recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN
48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting
in interim periods, disclosures and transition. There was a $0.2 million cumulative adjustment
to retained earnings on adoption of FIN 48. |
||
The Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $4.5 million as of the June 25, 2007 adoption date.
Of the total, $0.4 million represents amounts that, if recognized, would favorably affect the
effective income tax rate in any future period, and $1.5 million represents North Carolina
income tax credit carryforwards that will expire if not utilized within twelve months. |
||
The Company has elected upon adoption of FIN 48 to classify interest and penalties recognized in
accordance with FIN 48 as income tax expense. The Company had $0.1 million of accrued interest
and no penalties related to uncertain tax positions as of June 25, 2007. |
||
There was no change in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits or related interest and penalties
during the quarter and year-to-date period ended December 23, 2007. |
||
The Company is subject to income tax examinations for U.S. federal income taxes for fiscal years
2003 through 2007, for non-U.S. income taxes for tax years 2000 through 2007, and for state and
local income taxes for fiscal years 2001 through 2007. The Companys U.S. federal income tax
return for fiscal year 2006 is currently under examination. |

5. | Comprehensive Income (Loss) |
|
Comprehensive losses amounted to $4.7 million and $10.4 million for the second quarter and
year-to-date periods of fiscal year 2008, respectively, compared to comprehensive losses of
$16.9 million and $26.7 million for the second quarter and the year-to-date periods of fiscal
year 2007. Comprehensive losses were comprised of net losses of $7.7 million and $16.9 million
for the second quarter and year-to-date periods of fiscal year 2008, respectively, and foreign
translation gains of $3.0 million and $6.5 million, respectively. Comparatively, comprehensive
losses for the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year were derived from net losses of
$18.2 million and $28.3 million, and foreign translation gains of $1.3 million and $1.7 million,
respectively. The Company does not provide income taxes on the impact of currency translations
as earnings from foreign subsidiaries are deemed to be permanently invested. |

6. | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
|
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 141R, Business Combinations-Revised (SFAS 141R).
This new standard replaces SFAS 141 Business Combinations. SFAS 141R requires that the
acquisition method of accounting, instead of the purchase method, be applied to all business
combinations and that an acquirer be identified in the process. The statement requires that
fair market value be used to recognize assets and assumed liabilities instead of the cost
allocation method where the costs of an acquisition are allocated to individual assets based on
their estimated fair values. Goodwill would be calculated as the excess purchase price over the
fair value of the assets acquired; however, negative goodwill will be recognized immediately as
a gain instead of being allocated to individual assets acquired. Costs of the acquisition will
be recognized separately from the business combination. The end result is that the statement
improves the comparability, relevance and completeness of assets acquired and liabilities
assumed in a business combination. SFAS 141R is effective for business combinations which occur
in fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. |
||
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial
Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51. This new standard requires that ownership interests held
by parties other than the parent be presented separately within equity in the statement of
financial position; the amount of consolidated net income be clearly identified and presented on
the statements of income; all transactions resulting in a change of ownership interest whereby
the parent retains control to be accounted for as equity transactions; and when controlling
interest is not retained by the parent, any retained equity investment will be valued at fair
market value with a gain or loss being recognized on the transaction. SFAS 160 is effective for
business combinations which occur in fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The
Company does not expect this statement to have an impact on its results of operations or
financial condition. |
||
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financials Liabilities-Including an Amendment to FASB Statement No. 115 that expands the use of
fair value measurement of various financial instruments and other items. This statement
provides entities the option to record certain financial assets and liabilities, such as firm
commitments, non-financial insurance contracts and warranties, and host financial instruments at
fair value. Generally, the fair value option may be applied instrument by instrument and is
irrevocable once elected. The unrealized gains and losses on elected items would be recorded as
earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The
Company continues to evaluate the provisions of SFAS 159 and has not determined if it will make
any elections for fair value reporting of its assets. |
||
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157
addresses how companies should measure fair value when they are required to use a fair value
measure for recognition or disclosure purposes under generally accepted accounting principles.
As a result of SFAS 157 there is now a common definition of fair value to be used throughout
GAAP. The FASB believes that the new standard will make the measurement of fair value more
consistent and comparable and improve |

disclosures about those measures. The provisions of SFAS
157 were to be effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. On December 14,
2007, the FASB issued proposed FSP FAS 157-b
which would delay the effective date of SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial
liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial
statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). This proposed FSP partially defers the
effective date of SFAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim
periods within those fiscal years for items within the scope of this FSP. Effective for fiscal
year 2009, the Company will adopt SFAS 157 except as it applies to those nonfinancial assets and
nonfinancial liabilities as noted in proposed FSP FAS 157-b. The Company is in the process of
determining the financial impact of the partial adoption of SFAS 157 on its results of
operations and financial condition. |

For purposes of internal management reporting, segment operating loss represents net sales less
cost of sales and allocated selling, general and administrative expenses. Certain indirect
manufacturing and selling, general and administrative costs are allocated to the operating
segments based on activity drivers relevant to the respective costs. Intersegment sales are
recorded at market. |
||
The primary differences between the segmented financial information of the operating segments,
as reported to management and the Companys consolidated reporting relate to intersegment sales
of yarn and the associated fiber costs, the provision for bad debts, asset impairments,
restructuring charges, and certain unallocated selling, general and administrative expenses. |
||
Segment operating loss excluded the provision (benefit) for bad debts of $(0.2) million and
$(1.0) million for the current and prior year second quarter periods, respectively, and $0.1
million and $0.6 million for the year-to-date periods, respectively. |
||
The total assets for the polyester segment decreased from $419.4 million at June 24, 2007 to
$381.8 million at December 23, 2007 due primarily to decreases in fixed assets, inventory, cash,
deferred taxes and other assets of $12.9 million, $11.0 million, $9.5 million, $4.2 million and
$1.2 million, respectively. These decreases were offset by increases in other current assets of
$1.2 million. The total assets for the nylon segment decreased from $110.7 million at June 24,
2007 to $99.2 million at December 23, 2007 due primarily to decreases in fixed assets, assets
held for sale, deferred tax assets, and inventory of $7.4 million, $3.4 million, $2.6 million,
and $0.3 million, respectively. These decreases were offset by increases in accounts receivable
and cash of $2.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. |

8. | Stock-Based Compensation |
|
In the prior year first quarter, the Board of Directors (the Board) authorized the
issuance of approximately 1.1 million stock options from the 1999 Long-Term Incentive Plan to
certain key employees. With the exception of the immediate vesting of three hundred thousand
stock options granted to the former Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), the
remaining stock options vest in three equal installments: the first one-third at the time of
grant, the next one-third on the first anniversary of the grant and the final one-third on the
second anniversary of the grant. |
||
On October 24, 2007, the Board authorized the issuance of approximately 1.6 million stock
options from the Long-Term Incentive Plan of which one hundred and twenty thousand were issued
to certain Board members and the remaining options were issued to certain key employees. The
stock options issued to key employees are subject to a market condition which vests the options
on the date that the closing price of the Companys common stock shall have been at least $6.00
per share for thirty consecutive trading days. The stock options issued to certain Board
members are subject to a similar market condition in that one half of each members options vest
on the date that the closing price of the Companys common stock shall have been at least $8.00
per share for thirty consecutive trading days and the remaining one half vest on the date that
the closing price of the Companys common stock shall have been at least $10.00 per share for
thirty consecutive trading days. The Company used a Monte Carlo stock option model to estimate
fair value and the derived vesting periods range from 2.4 to 3.9 years. |
||
As a result of these grants, the Company incurred $0.3 million and $0.2 million in the
second quarters of fiscal years 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $0.4 million and $1.2 million
for the year-to-date periods, respectively, in stock-based compensation charges which were
recorded as selling, general and administrative expense with the offset to additional
paid-in-capital. |
||
9. | Derivative Financial Instruments |
|
The Company accounts for derivative contracts and hedging activities under SFAS 133, Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities which requires all derivatives to be recorded
on the balance sheet at fair value. The Company does not enter into derivative financial
instruments for trading purposes nor is it a party to any leveraged financial instruments. |
||
The Company conducts its business in various foreign currencies. As a result, it is subject to
the transaction exposure that arises from foreign exchange rate movements between the dates that
foreign currency transactions are recorded (export sales and purchase commitments) and the dates
they are consummated (cash receipts and cash disbursements in foreign currencies). The Company
utilizes some natural hedging to mitigate these transaction exposures. The Company also enters
into foreign currency forward contracts for the purchase and sale of European, Brazilian, and
North American currencies to hedge balance sheet and income statement currency exposures. These
contracts are principally entered into for the purchase of inventory and equipment and the sale
of Company products into export markets. Counterparties for these instruments are major
financial institutions. |
||
Currency forward contracts are entered into to hedge exposure for sales in foreign currencies
based on specific sales orders with customers or for anticipated sales activity for a future
time period. Generally, 50% of the sales value of these orders is covered by forward contracts.
Maturity dates of the forward contracts attempt to match anticipated receivable collections.
The Company marks the outstanding accounts receivable and forward contracts to market at month
end and any realized and unrealized gains or losses are recorded as other income and expense.
The Company also enters currency forward contracts for committed or anticipated equipment and
inventory purchases. Generally, 50% of the asset cost is covered by forward contracts although
up to 100% of the asset cost may be covered by contracts in certain instances. Forward contracts
are matched with the anticipated date of delivery of the assets and gains and losses are
recorded as a component of the asset cost for purchase transactions when the |

Company is firmly
committed. The latest maturity date for all outstanding purchase and sales foreign currency
forward contracts is January 2008 and April 2008, respectively. |

For the quarters ended December 23, 2007 and December 24, 2006, the total impact of foreign
currency related items on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, including
transactions that were hedged and those that were not hedged, resulted in a pre-tax loss of $0.1
million and pre-tax income of $0.1 million, respectively. For the year-to-date periods ended
December 23, 2007 and December 24, 2006, the total impact of foreign currency related items was
pre-tax loss of $0.5 million and pre-tax income of $0.4 million, respectively. |

costs associated with the closure of its facility in Altamahaw, North Carolina. In the second
quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company evaluated its remaining obligation on the lease and as
a result recorded a $0.4 million favorable adjustment. The net present value of the remaining
lease obligation was $2.0 million at December 23, 2007 and $2.8 million at June 24, 2007. |
||
On April 26, 2007, the Company announced a plan to consolidate its domestic polyester capacity
and closed a manufacturing facility located in Dillon, South Carolina. The Company recorded an
assumed liability in purchase accounting of $0.7 million for severance related costs and $2.9
million for unfavorable contracts in the third quarter of fiscal year 2007. Approximately 290
wage employees and 25 salaried employees were affected by this consolidation plan. |
||
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company reorganized certain corporate staff
and manufacturing support functions to further reduce costs. On August 2, 2007, the Company
announced the closure of its Kinston, North Carolina facility (Kinston) which produced POY
yarn for both internal consumption and third party sales. Approximately 310 employees including
90 salaried positions and 220 wage positions were included in the reorganization plans. The
Company recorded a severance reserve of $0.8 million and $1.5 million in contract termination
costs relating to the Kinston closure. |
||
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company further evaluated the contract
termination costs associated with the closure of Kinston and accrued for unfavorable contract
costs of $4.6 million related to site services, including utilities and operational support, the

12. | Impairment Charges |
|
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Company announced its intent to sell a
manufacturing facility that the Company leased to a tenant since 1999. The lease expired in
October 2006 and the Company decided to sell the property upon expiration of the lease.
Pursuant to this determination, the Company received appraisals relating to the property and
performed an impairment review in accordance with SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The Company evaluated the recoverability of the long-lived
asset and determined that the carrying amount of the property exceeded its fair value.
Accordingly, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $1.2 million during the first
quarter of fiscal year 2007. |
||
In November 2006, the Companys Brazilian operation decided to modernize its facilities by
replacing ten of its older machines with newer machines purchased from the domestic polyester
segment. These machine purchases allowed the Brazilian facility to produce tailor made products
at higher speeds resulting in lower costs and increased competitiveness. As a result, the
Company recognized a $2.0 million impairment charge on the older machines during the quarter
ended December 24, 2006. |
||
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 in connection with a review of the fair value of
USTF during negotiations related to the sale, the Company determined that a review of the
carrying value of its investment was necessary. As a result of this review, the Company
determined that the carrying value exceeded its fair value. Accordingly, a non-cash impairment
charge of $4.5 million was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. See Footnote 10.
Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates for discussion related to the sale of USTF. |
||
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Companys Brazilian polyester operation
continued the modernization plan for its facilities by abandoning four of its older machines and
replacing them with newer machines purchased from the Companys domestic polyester division. As
a result, the Company recognized a $0.5 million non-cash impairment charge on the older
machines. |
||
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company evaluated the carrying value of the
remaining machinery and equipment at its Dillon, South Carolina facility. The Company sold
several machines to a foreign subsidiary and also transferred several other machines to its
Yadkinville, North Carolina facility. Six of the remaining machines were leased under an
operating lease to a manufacturer in Mexico at a fair market value substantially less than their
carrying value. The last five remaining machines were scheduled to be scrapped for spare parts
inventory. These eleven remaining machines were written down to fair market value determined by
the lease; and as a result, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $1.6 million in
the second quarter of fiscal year 2008. The adjusted net book value will be depreciated over a
two year period which is consistent with the life of the lease. |
||
In addition, the Company began negotiations with a third party to sell the manufacturing
facility located in Kinston, North Carolina. As a result of these negotiations, management
concluded that the carrying value of the real estate exceeded its fair value. Accordingly, a
$0.7 million non-cash impairment charge was recorded in the quarter ended December 23, 2007. |

17. | Commitments and Contingencies |
|
In February 2007, the Company received notice of a claim from the Employment Security Commission
of North Carolina for the underpayment of state unemployment taxes. The Employment Security
Commissions claim is approximately $1.8 million, including interest and penalties. The Company
is evaluating the validity of this claim and at this time has not yet determined the extent of
any potential liability. |
||
On September 30, 2004, the Company completed its acquisition of the polyester filament
manufacturing assets located in Kinston, North Carolina from INVISTA S.a.r.l. (INVISTA). The
land for the Kinston site is leased pursuant to a 99 year ground lease (Ground Lease) with
E.I. DuPont de Nemours (DuPont). Since 1993, DuPont has been investigating and cleaning up the
Kinston site under the supervision of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
and the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources pursuant to the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act Corrective Action program. The Corrective Action Program requires
DuPont to identify all potential areas of environmental concern (AOCs), assess the extent of
contamination at the identified AOCs and clean them up to comply with applicable regulatory
standards. Under the terms of the Ground Lease, upon completion by DuPont of required remedial
action, ownership of the Kinston site will pass to the Company. Thereafter, the Company will
have responsibility for future remediation requirements, if any, at the AOCs previously
addressed by DuPont. At this time the Company has no basis to determine if and when it will have
any responsibility or obligation with respect to the AOCs or the extent of any potential
liability for the same. |

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following is Managements discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have
affected the Companys operations and material changes in financial condition during the periods
included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Business Overview
The Company is a diversified North American producer and processor of multi-filament polyester and
nylon yarns, including specialty yarns with enhanced performance characteristics. The Company adds
value to the supply chain and enhances customer demand for its products through the development and
introduction of branded yarns that provide unique performance, comfort, and aesthetic advantages.
The Company manufactures partially oriented, textured, dyed, twisted and beamed polyester yarns as
well as textured nylon and covered spandex products. The Company sells its products to other yarn
manufacturers, knitters and weavers that produce fabrics for the apparel, hosiery, automotive, home
furnishings, industrial, and other end-use markets. The Company maintains one of the industrys
most comprehensive product offerings and emphasizes quality, style, and performance in all of its
products.
Polyester Segment The polyester segment manufactures partially oriented, textured, dyed, twisted
and beamed yarns with sales to other yarn manufacturers, knitters and weavers that produce fabrics
for the apparel, automotive and furniture upholstery, home furnishings, automotive, industrial and
other end-use markets. The polyester segment primarily manufactures its products in Brazil and the
United States which has the largest operations.
Nylon Segment The nylon segment manufactures textured nylon and covered spandex products with
sales to other yarn manufacturers, knitters and weavers that produce fabrics for the apparel,
hosiery, sock and other end-use markets. The nylon segment consists of operations in the United
States and Colombia.
Recent Developments and Outlook
Although the global textile and apparel industry continues to grow, the U.S. textile and apparel
industry has contracted since 1999, caused primarily by intense foreign competition in finished
products which has resulted in over capacity domestically and the closure of many domestic textile
and apparel plants or the movement of their operations offshore. In addition, due to consumer
preferences, demand for sheer hosiery products has declined in recent years, negatively impacting
nylon manufacturers. According to industry experts, the contraction in the North American textile
and apparel market has declined 5% in calendar year 2007, compared to a decline of 16.5 % in
calendar year 2006. Regional manufacturers continue to demand North American manufactured yarn and
fabrics due to the duty-free advantage, quick response times, readily available production
capacity, and specialized products. In addition, North American retailers need a balanced
procurement strategy with both global and regional producers. Industry experts project a 4% rate
of decline in calendar year 2008 and years thereafter which is much improved over the prior years
general industry trends. As a result of these general industry trends, the Companys net sales,
gross profits and net income have declined for the past several years but are now starting to
improve with the market contractions stabilizing. The Company believes that its success going
forward is primarily based on its ability to improve the mix of its product offerings by shifting
to more premier value-added (PVA) products, aggressively negotiating favorable raw material
supply agreements, leveraging the free-trade agreements to which the United States is a party and
to implement cost saving strategies which will improve its operating efficiencies. The continued
viability of the U.S. domestic textile and apparel industry is dependent, to a large extent, on the
international trade regulatory environment.

On August 1, 2007, the Company announced that the Board of Directors terminated the Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Company. The Company also announced at that
time that the Board of Directors appointed Mr. Stephen Wener as the Companys new Chairman and
acting CEO. In addition, there were several changes to its Board of Directors, including six
directors resignations and the appointment of two new directors, Mr. G. Alfred Webster and Mr.
George R. Perkins, Jr.
On September 26, 2007, the Company announced that the Board of Directors elected Mr. William L.
Jasper as the Companys President and CEO. In addition, Mr. Roger Berrier was elected Executive
Vice President of Sales, Marketing, and Asian Operations. Mr. Berrier assumed responsibility for
all marketing, sales, and customer service functions as well as the Companys joint venture in
China. On the same day, Mr. Jasper and Mr. Berrier were also appointed to the Companys Board of
Directors. In connection with the appointments, Mr. Stephen Wener stepped down as the Companys
acting CEO, but remained as the Chairman of the Board of Directors. On October 4, 2007, the
Company announced that Mr. Ronald Smith was elected as its Chief Financial Officer replacing Mr.
William Lowe, Jr. whose employment with the Company terminated.
The Company and its new management team will continue to focus on the following areas:
| To continue to improve the domestic operations to become profitable using a rigorous
planning process and aggressive execution strategies and continued growth of PVA products.
The Company will also continue to look at growth opportunities throughout the regional
supply chain for related consolidation opportunities. |
||
| To improve the business in the Companys joint venture in China and position it for
growth. Chinas domestic demand for polyester yarns is increasing at an annual rate of 8%
and the specialty yarn market is growing at an annual rate of 10%. |
||
| To achieve sustainable and profitable growth and create shareholder value. |
As part of this strategy, on October 4, 2007, the Company ceased manufacturing partially oriented
yarn (POY) at its facility in Kinston, North Carolina. The Company has further developed
strategic relationships with its raw material suppliers to ensure a source of raw materials on a
more competitive basis.
In the second quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company completed the sale of its interest in
Unifi-SANS Technical Fibers, LLC (USTF). On November 30, 2007, the Company completed the sale of
USTF and received net proceeds of $11.9 million from Sans Fibers. The purchase price included $3.0
million for a manufacturing facility that the Company leased to the joint venture which had a net
book value of $2.1 million. Of the remaining $8.9 million, $8.8 million was allocated to the
Companys equity investment in the joint venture and $0.1 million was attributed to interest

Corporate Restructuring
In fiscal year 2004, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $5.7 million in lease related
costs associated with the closure of its facility in Altamahaw, North Carolina. In the second
quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company evaluated its remaining obligation on the lease and as a

Joint Ventures and Other Equity Investments
In August 2005, the Company formed Yihua Unifi Fibre Company Limited (YUFI), a 50/50 joint
venture with Sinopec Yizheng Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd, (YCFC), to manufacture, process, and market
commodity and specialty polyester filament yarn in YCFCs facilities in China. YCFC is a publicly
traded (listed in Shanghai and Hong Kong) enterprise with approximately $2.3 billion in annual
sales. The principal goal of YUFI is to supply premier value-added products to the Chinese market,
which currently imports a large portion of such products. The Company has granted YUFI an
exclusive, non-transferable license to certain of its branded product technology (including Mynx®,
Sorbtek®, Reflexx®, and dye springs) in China for a license fee of $6.0 million over a four year
period, this years portion of which is reflected half in Other (income) expense, net and half in
net (earnings) losses from unconsolidated equity affiliates results. The Company also records
revenues from the joint venture in connection with a technology, licensing and support agreement
for certain proprietary information including technical knowledge, manufacturing processes, trade
secrets, commercial information and other information relating to the design, manufacture,
application testing, maintenance and sale of products. For the quarter and year-to-date periods
ended December 23, 2007, the Company recorded $0.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively, in
revenues from the agreement as compared to $0.4 million and $0.8 million for the quarter and
year-to-date periods ended December 24, 2006. For the quarter and year-to-date periods ended
December 23, 2007, the Company recognized equity losses relating to YUFI of $1.0 million and $1.7
million, respectively, which is reported net of technology and license fee income. For the quarter
and year-to-date periods ended December 24, 2006, the Company recognized net equity losses of $2.1
million and $3.6 million, respectively. In addition, the Company recognized $0.5 million and $1.3
million in operating expenses for the quarter and year-to-date periods of fiscal year 2008,
respectively, compared to $1.0 million and $2.1 million for quarter and year-to-date periods of
fiscal year 2007, respectively, which were primarily reflected on the Cost of sales line item in
the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. These expenses are directly related to
supporting the Companys growth strategy in China.
In June 1997, the Company and Parkdale Mills, Inc. entered into a contribution agreement whereby
both companies contributed all of the assets of their spun cotton yarn operations utilizing
open-end and air jet spinning technologies to create Parkdale America, LLC (PAL). In exchange for
its contributions, the Company received a 34% ownership interest in the joint venture. PAL is a
producer of cotton and synthetic yarns for sale to the textile and apparel industries primarily
within North America. PAL has 12 manufacturing facilities primarily located in central and western
North Carolina and in South Carolina. During the quarter and year-to-date periods ended December
23, 2007, the Company had equity earnings relating to PAL of $1.1 million and $1.6 million compared
to equity losses of $0.6 million and $0.9 million for the corresponding periods in the prior year.
The Company has received accumulated distributions from PAL of $0.7 million and $0.2 million in
fiscal years 2008 and 2007, respectively.

In September 2000, the Company and SANS Fibres of South Africa formed USTF, a 50/50 joint venture
created to produce low-shrinkage high tenacity nylon 6.6 light denier industrial yarns in North
Carolina. The business is operated in a plant in Stoneville, North Carolina. In the second quarter
of fiscal year 2008, the Company completed the sale of its interest in USTF. Refer to the Recent
Developments and Outlook section above for further discussion.
In September 2000, the Company and Nilit Ltd formed U.N.F. Industries Ltd (UNF), a 50/50 joint
venture to produce nylon POY at Nilits manufacturing facility in Migdal Ha-Emek, Israel which is
the Companys primary source of nylon POY for its texturing and covering operations. The Company
has entered into a supply agreement, on customary terms, with UNF which expires in April 2008.
Although the Company incurred higher raw material prices per the agreement, the Company benefits
from its equity income from the joint venture. In addition, UNF negotiated favorable volume
rebates for the purchase of raw materials from Nilit Ltd which should allow the joint venture to
further improve its profitability. In July 2007, the Steering Committee of UNF agreed to a
program to increase volumes and the utilization of the extruders and thereby improve the
profitability of the joint venture going forward. For the year-to-date periods ended December 24,
2006 and December 23, 2007, the Company recognized net equity loss of $0.9 million and net equity
income of $0.3 million, respectively.

As reflected in the tables above, consolidated net sales from continuing operations increased from
$156.9 million to $183.4 million which was attributable to increases in both the polyester and
nylon segments in the second quarter of fiscal year 2008. Consolidated unit volume increased 8.6%
for the second quarter of fiscal year 2008, while average net selling prices increased 8.3% for the
same period. In the second quarter of
31
Table of Contents
fiscal year 2008, net sales for the polyester segment
improved compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to the additional sales related to the
Dillon Yarn acquisition and higher sales pricing in conjunction with higher raw material prices. In comparison, during the December 2006 quarter, the Company
experienced a significant volume decline in its commodity based POY business starting in September
2006 and continuing through November 2006. Although raw material prices declined during December
2006 quarter, the loss of volume was attributable to low demand from the retail sector, as certain
customers worked down excess inventories. The Companys nylon segment had increased sales as a
result of continued growth in hosiery production in the Central American Free Trade Agreement
(CAFTA) region as well as continued strength in the shapewear segment.
Refer to the discussion of segment operations under the captions Polyester Operations and Nylon
Operations for a further discussion of each segments operating results.
Consolidated gross profit from continuing operations was $8.3 million for the quarter ended
December 23, 2007 compared to a loss of $0.1 million for the quarter ended December 24, 2006, an
increase of 4.5% as a percentage of net sales. Unit volume in the second quarter of fiscal year
2008 was up as compared to the prior year second quarter and gross profit on a per-pound basis
improved $0.08 per pound. The increase in gross profit for the quarter was primarily due to
improved sales pricing, cost reductions, and manufacturing efficiencies.
Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) increased by $1.6 million or
15.6% for the second quarter of fiscal year 2008 as compared to the prior year second quarter, and
as a percentage of sales decreased 0.1% when compared to the same periods. The increase in SG&A for
the second quarter was primarily a result of $1.7 million in severance costs, $1.1 million in
Dillon Yarn acquisition related amortization and service fees, and $0.2 million in professional
fees offset by decreases of $1.0 million in salaries and fringe expenses, $0.7 million in other
miscellaneous expenses, and $0.1 million in stock-based compensation and deferred compensation
charges. SG&A related to the Companys Brazilian operation increased by $0.4 million in the second
quarter of fiscal year 2008 compared to the same period in the prior year quarter primarily due to
the cost to move its corporate offices and an increase in its currency translation.
In November 2006, the Companys Brazilian operation decided to modernize its facilities by
replacing ten of its older machines with newer machines purchased from the domestic polyester
segment. These machine purchases allowed the Brazilian facility to produce tailor made products at
higher speeds resulting in lower costs and increased competitiveness. As a result the Company
recognized a $2.0 million impairment charge on the older machines during the quarter ended December
24, 2006.
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company evaluated the carrying value of the
remaining machinery and equipment at its Dillon, South Carolina facility. The Company sold several
machines to a foreign subsidiary and also transferred several other machines to its Yadkinville,
North Carolina facility. Six of the remaining machines were leased under an operating lease to a
manufacturer in Mexico at a fair market value substantially less than their carrying value. The
last five remaining machines were scheduled to be scrapped for spare parts inventory. These eleven
remaining machines were written down to fair market value determined by the lease; and as a result,
the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $1.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal
year 2008. The adjusted net book value will be depreciated over a two year period which is
consistent with the life of the lease.
In addition, the Company began negotiations with a third party to sell the manufacturing facility
in Kinston, North Carolina. As a result of these negotiations, management concluded that the
carrying value of the real estate exceeded its fair value. Accordingly, a $0.7 million non-cash
impairment charge was recorded in the quarter ended December 23, 2007.
32
Table of Contents
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company evaluated the contract termination costs
associated with the closure of its Kinston, North Carolina facility for the remainder of its
current fiscal year. Refer to the Corporate Restructuring section above for further discussion.
Other (income) expense, net includes equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates, interest
expense, interest income, and bad debt expense. The decrease of $3.6 million or 52% in the second
quarter of fiscal year 2008 as compared to the same quarter in the prior year was primarily
attributable to decreased losses of unconsolidated affiliates of $2.9 million, increased other
miscellaneous income of $2.4 million offset by decreased bad debt recoveries of $0.8 million,
increased interest expense of $0.5 million and decreased interest income of $0.3 million. The
primary increase in other miscellaneous net income relates to $1.3 million of net gains from the
sale of assets, $0.8 million in gains from the sale of nitrogen discharge credits associated with
the Kinston manufacturing facility, and $0.3 million in other items including currency exchange
translations.
The loss from continuing operations before income taxes decreased in the second quarter of fiscal
year 2008 to $13.6 million as compared to $19.6 million recorded in the prior year second quarter
primarily due to the increased gross profits of $8.3 million, decreased losses of unconsolidated
affiliates of $2.9 million, and increased income in other miscellaneous income of $2.4 million,
offset by increased restructuring charges of $4.2 million, increased SG&A expenses of $1.6 million,
increased net interest expense of $0.8 million, and decreased bad debt recoveries of $0.8 million
and increased asset impairment charges of $0.2 million.
The Companys income tax benefit for the quarter ended December 23, 2007 resulted in an effective
tax rate of (42.3)% compared to the quarter ended December 24, 2006 which resulted in an effective
tax rate of (8.1)%. The primary differences between the Companys income tax benefit and the U.S.
statutory rate for the quarter ended December 23, 2007 were losses from certain foreign operations
taxed at a lower effective rate, state income tax benefit, and a decrease in the valuation
allowance.
Deferred income taxes have been provided for the temporary differences between financial statement
carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. The Company has established
a valuation allowance to completely offset its U.S. net deferred tax asset. The valuation allowance
decreased $1.7 million in the quarter ended December 23, 2007 compared to a $5.1 million increase
in the quarter ended December 24, 2006. The net decrease in the valuation allowance for the quarter
ended December 23, 2007 consisted of a $1.5 million decrease for a reduction in estimated capital
losses related to certain fixed assets, a $0.8 million increase for lower estimates of future
realization of U.S. loss carryforwards and other deductible items, a $0.6 million decrease for
higher estimates of future realization of certain state net operating loss carryforwards, and a
$0.4 million decrease for the offset of deductible temporary differences related to stock-based
compensation.
On June 25, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty
in Income Taxes, an interpretation of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (FIN 48). There
was $0.2 million cumulative adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption of FIN 48.
The loss from discontinued operations for the second quarter of fiscal years 2008 and 2007 was
primarily due to wind up activities associated with the Ireland facility and currency translation
adjustments related to all foreign discontinued operations.
Polyester Operations
Polyester unit volume increased 6.3% for the quarter ended December 23, 2007, while average net
selling prices increased 7.7% compared to the quarter ended December 24, 2006. Net sales for the
polyester segment for the second quarter of fiscal year 2008 increased 14.0% as compared to the
same quarter in the prior year. Although volume and net sales were stronger than anticipated for
the quarter, this quarters increase over prior year second quarter was primarily due to the
additional volume from the Companys acquisition of Dillon Yarn Corporation in January 2007 and
improved overall sales pricing in conjunction
33
Table of Contents
with increased raw material costs. In the second
quarter of fiscal year 2008, raw material prices increased faster than anticipated due to higher costs for monoethylene glycol (MEG) globally which negatively
impacted gross profits.
Sales in local currency for the Brazilian operation increased 2.0% for the quarter ended December
23, 2007 compared to the same quarter in the prior year due to a decrease in average selling prices
of 3.2% and an increase in unit volumes of 5.3%. The movement in currency exchange rates from the
fiscal year 2007 to the fiscal year 2008 positively impacted the second quarter of fiscal year 2008
sales translated to U.S. dollars for the Brazilian operation. As a result of the increase in the
Brazilian currency exchange rate, U.S. dollar net sales for the quarter period were higher by $5.6
million than what sales would have been using the prior year currency rates.
Gross profit for the polyester segment in the second quarter of fiscal year 2008 increased by $6.4
million to $5.8 million compared to a loss of $0.6 million for the same quarter in the prior year
primarily to decreased variable and fixed expenses as a result of cost consolidation efforts and
the decline in the Brazilian exchange rate.
SG&A expenses for the second quarter of fiscal year 2008 were $10.2 million compared to $8.1
million in the same quarter in the prior year. The increase in SG&A expenses for the polyester
segment relates primarily to $1.5 million in allocated officer severance expenses, $0.9 million in
amortization expenses, and $0.2 million in sales and service fees as discussed above in the
consolidated SG&A section. These increases were offset by a $0.5 million decrease in overall SG&A
expenses for the second quarter of fiscal year 2008.
Nylon Operations
Nylon unit volumes increased 30.3% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2008 compared to the prior
year quarter while average selling prices decreased 4.6%. Comparatively, unit volumes in the second
quarter fiscal year 2007 decreased 18.9% compared to the same period in fiscal year 2006. This
comparison indicates that the volume for the prior year was unusually low primarily due to low
market demands. Net sales for the nylon segment for the second quarter of fiscal year 2008
increased 25.7% as compared to the same quarter in the prior year. This increase in net sales was
primarily due to continued growth in hosiery production in the CAFTA region as well as continued
strength in the shapewear segment.
Gross profit for the nylon segment increased by $2.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal year
2008 to $2.5 million compared $0.4 million in the prior year second quarter. The nylon segment
improved its margins as a result of cost reduction efforts and the elimination of a one-time $1.2
million second quarter prior fiscal year energy charge related to a malfunctioning meter.
SG&A expenses allocated to the nylon segment decreased by $0.5 million to $1.8 million for the
second quarter of fiscal year 2008 compared to $2.3 million the prior year second quarter. This
decrease in SG&A expenses for the nylon segment relates primarily to a reduced allocation
percentage of SG&A expense attributable to cost reductions despite an increase of $0.2 million in
allocated officer severance expenses.
Corporate
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Company established the Unifi, Inc. Supplemental
Key Employee Retirement Plan (the Plan). This Plan, which replaced a similar retirement plan,
was established for the purpose of providing supplemental retirement benefits for a select group of
management employees. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company recognized $0.2
million in deferred compensation charges.
34
Table of Contents
On July 26, 2006, the Board authorized the issuance of an additional 1.1 million stock options to
certain key employees from the 1999 Long-Term Incentive Plan and on October 24, 2007, the Board
authorized the issuance of approximately 1.6 million stock options from the 1999 Long-Term
Incentive Plan of which one hundred and twenty thousand were issued to certain Board members and
the remaining options were issued to certain key employees. The Company recorded $0.2 million of
stock-based compensation during the quarter ended December 24, 2006 and $0.3 million during the
quarter ended December 23, 2007. The total estimated stock-based compensation charges over the
remaining vesting terms of the stock options equate to $2.6 million. All stock-based compensation
charges are recorded as selling, general and administrative expense with the offset to additional
paid-in-capital.

As reflected in the tables above, consolidated net sales from continuing operations increased from
$326.8 million to $353.9 million which was attributable to increases in both the polyester and
nylon segments for the current year-to-date period. Consolidated unit volume increased 0.2% for
the current year-to-date

period, while average net selling prices increased 8.0% for the same
period. Refer to the discussion of segment operations under the captions Polyester Operations and Nylon Operations below for a further
discussion of each segments operating results.
Consolidated gross profit from continuing operations was $19.3 million for the year-to-date period
ended December 23, 2007 as compared to $10.4 million for the year-to-date period ended December 24,
2006, an increase of 84.9% and an increase of 2.3% as a percentage of net sales. Although unit
volume for fiscal year 2008 was flat as compared to the same prior year period, gross profit on a
per-pound basis improved $0.04 per pound. The increase in gross profit for the year-to-date period
ended December 23, 2007 was primarily due to cost reductions and manufacturing efficiencies in
fiscal year 2008.
Consolidated SG&A increased by $4.8 million or 22.1% for the year-to-date period ended December 23,
2007 as compared to $21.7 million for the same period in the prior year and increased 0.9% as a
percentage of sales when compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in SG&A for
the fiscal year was primarily a result of $4.1 million in severance costs, $2.3 million in Dillon
acquisition related amortization and service fees, $1.2 million in deposit write-offs, and $0.9
million in professional fees, internal developer fees, telephones, and USTF management fees offset
by decreases of $2.1 million in stock-based compensation and deferred compensation charges, $0.9
million in salaries and fringes, $0.4 million in depreciation expenses, and $0.8 million in other
miscellaneous expenses. SG&A costs related to the Companys Brazilian operation increased $0.5
million primarily due to currency exchange rates.
On October 26, 2006, the Company announced its intent to sell a manufacturing facility that the
Company leased to a tenant since 1999. As a result of its decision, the Company performed an
impairment review and recorded a $1.2 million non-cash impairment charge in the first quarter of
fiscal year 2007. For further discussion, refer to the Corporate section below.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 in connection with a review of the fair value of USTF
during negotiations related to the sale, the Company determined that a review of the carrying value
of its investment was necessary. As a result of this review, the Company determined that the
carrying value exceeded its fair value. Accordingly, a non-cash impairment charge of $4.5 million
was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. See Footnote 10. Investments in
Unconsolidated Affiliates for discussion related to the sale of USTF.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Companys Brazilian polyester operation continued
the modernization plan for its facilities by abandoning four of its older machines with newer
machines purchased from the Companys domestic polyester division. As a result, the Company
recognized a $0.5 million non-cash impairment charge on the older machines.
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company evaluated the carrying value of the
remaining machinery and equipment at its Dillon, South Carolina facility. The Company sold several
machines to a foreign subsidiary and also transferred several other machines to its Yadkinville,
North Carolina facility. Six of the remaining machines were leased under an operating lease to a
manufacturer in Mexico at a fair market value substantially less than their carrying value. Five
were scheduled to be scrapped in for spare parts inventory. These remaining machines were written
down to the fair market value determined by the lease; and as a result, the Company recorded a
non-cash impairment charge of $1.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2008. The adjusted
net book value will be depreciated over a two year period which is consistent with the life of the
lease.
In addition, the Company began negotiations with a third party to sell the manufacturing facility
located in Kinston, North Carolina. As a result of these negotiations, management concluded that
the carrying value of the real estate exceeded its fair value. Accordingly, a $0.7 million
non-cash impairment charge was recorded in the quarter ended December 23, 2007.

Table of Contents
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company recorded a severance reserve of $4.3
million which includes $0.8 million relating to the Kinston closing, $2.4 million in connection
with the termination of its former Chairman, President, & CEO, and $1.1 million relating to other corporate staff and
manufacturing support. In addition, the Company recorded $1.5 million in contract termination
costs relating to the Kinston closure.
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company evaluated the contract termination costs
associated with the closure of its Kinston, North Carolina facility for the remainder of its
current fiscal year. The Company accrued for unfavorable contracts costs of $4.6 million related
to SLAs that the Company is obligated to provide through June 2008. The Company recorded an
additional $0.4 million in severance costs related to Kinston employees who are associated with
providing these SLA services.
Other (income) expense, net includes equity in (earnings) losses of unconsolidated affiliates,
interest expense, interest income, and bad debt expense. The decrease in net other expense for the
year-to-date period of fiscal year 2008 as compared to the same period in the prior year was
primarily attributable to increased earnings of unconsolidated affiliates of $5.0 million,
increased other miscellaneous net income of $2.9 million, decreased bad debt expense of $0.5
million, and increased interest income of $0.1 million offset by increased interest expense of $1.1
million. The primary increase in other miscellaneous income relates to $1.6 million in gains from
the sale of nitrogen discharge credits associated with the Kinston manufacturing facility and $1.4
million in gains on the sale of property, plant and equipment offset by $0.1 million in other
miscellaneous items.
The loss from continuing operations before income taxes decreased in the year-to-date period of
fiscal year 2008 to $29.7 million as compared to $30.3 million recorded in the same period in the
prior year primarily due to increased gross profit of $8.9 million, increased earnings from
unconsolidated affiliates of $5.0 million, other miscellaneous income of $2.9 million, decreased
asset impairment charges of $0.4 million, decreased bad debt expense of $0.5 million offset by
restructuring charges of $6.8 million, increased SG&A expenses of $4.8 million, the write down of
an unconsolidated affiliate of $4.5 million, and increased interest expense, net of $1.0 million.
The Companys income tax benefit for the year-to-date period ended December 23, 2007 resulted in an
effective tax rate of (42.7)% compared to the year-to-date period ended December 24, 2006 which
resulted in an effective tax rate of (7.1)%. The primary differences between the Companys income
tax benefit and the U.S. statutory rate for the year-to-date period ended December 23, 2007 were
losses from certain foreign operations taxed at a lower effective rate, state income tax benefit,
and a decrease in the valuation allowance.
Deferred income taxes have been provided for the temporary differences between financial statement
carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. The Company has established
a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets relating primarily to North Carolina income
tax credit carryforwards and capital losses. The valuation allowance decreased $6.8 million in the
year-to-date period ended December 23, 2007 compared to a $5.1 million increase in the year-to-date
period ended December 24, 2006. The net decrease in the valuation allowance for the year-to-date
period ended December 23, 2007 consisted of a $4.1 million decrease for the derecognition of
unrealized tax benefits with respect to North Carolina income tax credit carryforwards, a $3.5
million decrease for a reduction in estimated capital losses related to certain fixed assets offset
by a $0.8 million increase for lower estimates of future realization of U.S. loss carryforwards and
other deductible items.
On June 25, 2007, the Company adopted FIN 48. There was $0.2 million cumulative adjustment to
retained earnings upon adoption of FIN 48.
The loss from discontinued operations for the year-to-date periods of fiscal years 2008 and 2007
was primarily due to wind up activities associated with the Ireland facility and currency
translation adjustments related to all foreign discontinued operations.

Polyester Operations
Polyester unit volume decreased 1.1% for the year-to-date period ended December 23, 2007, while
average net selling prices increased 7.3% compared to the prior year-to-date period. The increase
in net sales of $15.5 million for the year-to-date period ended December 23, 2007 as compared to the same period in the
prior year was primarily due to improved overall sales pricing.
Sales in local currency for the Brazilian operation decreased 5.3% for the year-to-date period
ended December 23, 2007 compared to the same period in the prior year due to a decrease in average
selling prices of 2.8% and a decrease in unit volumes of 2.6%. The movement in currency exchange
rates from the prior year-to-date period to the current year-to-date period positively impacted the
current year-to-date period sales translated to U.S. dollars for the Brazilian operation. As a
result of the increase in the Brazilian currency exchange rate, U.S. dollar net sales for the
year-to-date period ended December 23, 2007 were $8.3 million higher than what sales would have
been using the same period in the prior year currency rates.
Gross profit for the polyester segment for the year-to-date period ended December 23, 2007
increased by $6.4 million from the same period in the prior year due to the manufacturing
efficiencies.
SG&A expenses for the year-to-date period ended December 23, 2007 were $22.6 million compared to
$17.0 million in the same period in the prior year. The increase in SG&A expenses for the
polyester segment relates primarily to allocated officer severance expenses of $4.7 million, and
$2.3 million Dillon acquisition related expenses offset by $0.2 million for decreased deferred
compensation charges and a decrease in overall allocated SG&A expenses.
As discussed above in the consolidated section, the Company recorded $2.2 million in non-cash asset
impairment charges related to the polyester segment in the second quarter of fiscal year 2008.
As discussed above, in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Companys Brazilian operation
recognized a $2.0 million impairment charge which included the book value of ten abandoned machines
and the related dismantling and removal costs. In fiscal year 2008, the Company recorded $0.5
million of asset impairments from its Brazilian operations and $1.6 million of asset impairments
related to its assets in Dillon, South Carolina.
Nylon Operations
Nylon segment volume for the year-to-date period ended December 23, 2007 increased 12.4% when
compared to the same period in the prior year while average selling prices increased 2.4%. Net
sales for the nylon segment increased 14.8%. The increase in net sales for the year-to-date period
ended December 23, 2007 as compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to
greater sales of hosiery products.
Gross profit for the nylon segment increased $2.4 million to $5.6 million in the year-to-date
period ended December 23, 2007 compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in
gross profit is attributable primarily to higher sales prices, higher volumes, and improved
manufacturing efficiencies.
SG&A expenses allocated to the nylon segment decreased $0.8 million to $3.9 million in the
year-to-date period ended December 23, 2007 compared to the same period in the prior year. SG&A
expenses as a percentage of nylon net sales were 4.3% for the year-to-date period ended December
23, 2007 compared to 6.1% for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in SG&A expenses for
the nylon segment relates primarily to a reduced allocation percentage of SG&A expense attributable
to cost drivers of the polyester and nylon mix.

Corporate
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Company established the Unifi, Inc. Supplemental
Key Employee Retirement Plan (the Plan), and as a result, recognized $1.4 million in deferred
compensation charges for the year-to-date period ended December 24, 2006. This Plan, which
replaced a similar retirement plan, was established for the purpose of providing supplemental
retirement benefits for a select group of management employees. For the year-to-date period of
ended December 23, 2007, the Company recognized $0.2 million in deferred compensation charges.
On October 26, 2006, the Company announced its intent to sell a manufacturing facility that the
Company had leased to a tenant since 1999. The lease expired in October 2006 and the Company
decided to sell the property upon expiration of the lease. Pursuant to this determination, the
Company received appraisals relating to the property and performed an impairment review in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 144, Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144). The Company evaluated the recoverability of the
long-lived asset and determined that the carrying amount of the property exceeded its fair value.
Accordingly, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $1.2 million during the first
quarter of fiscal year 2007, which included $0.1 million in estimated selling costs that will be
paid from the proceeds of the sale when it occurs.
On July 26, 2006, the Board authorized the issuance of an additional 1.1 million stock options to
certain key employees from the 1999 Long-Term Incentive Plan and on October 24, 2007, the Board
authorized the issuance of approximately 1.6 million stock options from the 1999 Long-Term
Incentive Plan of which one hundred and twenty thousand were issued to certain Board members and
the remaining options were issued to certain key employees. The Company recorded $1.2 million of
stock-based compensation during the quarter ended December 24, 2006 and $0.4 million during the
quarter ended December 23, 2007. As of December 23, 2007, the total estimated stock-based
compensation charges over the remaining vesting terms of the stock options equate to $2.6 million.
All stock-based compensation charges are recorded as selling, general and administrative expense
with the offset to additional paid-in-capital.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Companys primary sources of liquidity include cash, restricted cash, cash provided by
operations, assets held for sale and amounts available under its asset-based revolving credit
facility. The Companys primary capital requirements are working capital, capital expenditures, and
debt payments.
Cash Provided By (Used In) Continuing Operations
Cash flows from operations declined by $9.7 million for the first six months of fiscal year 2008
when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in operating cash flows is
primarily a result of an increase in working capital. The components of the decline in cash used in
operations include increased cash collections from customers of $9.7 million, increased cash from
other income items of $2.0 million, decreased cash paid for taxes of $0.8 million, decreased cash
paid for restructuring charges of $1.3 million, and decreased cash paid for wages, salaries, and
fringes of $1.1 million offset by increased cash payments to suppliers of $22.8 million and
increased cash paid for interest expense of $1.8 million. Other income items include interest
income, distributions from equity affiliates, and sales of nitrogen discharge credits related to
the Companys Kinston facility.
Cash payments to suppliers increased in part due to the Company taking advantage of discounts
offered by its suppliers for early payment. In addition, since the Company closed its Kinston
facility, inventories have naturally declined along with the associated accounts payable.
Working Capital
Accounts receivable increased 5.6% from $94.0 million at June 24, 2007 to $99.3 million at December
23, 2007. The primary reason for the increase is due to the higher export sales volumes which have
a longer collection period than domestic sales. Days in sales outstanding increased from 46.2 days
to 50.5 days due
40
Table of Contents
to the customer receivable mix in outstanding accounts receivable at December 23,
2007. Inventory decreased 8.5% from $132.3 million to $121.1 million due to the closure of its
Kinston facility. Accounts payable has also decreased 23.6% due to the Kinston closure and the
Companys new supplier discount policy. The Company expects its working capital to stabilize over
the next several months as the effects of closing the Kinston facility on working capital subside.
In November 2007, the Company paid $10.9 million for the interest payment on its $190.0 million
senior secured notes.
The Company ended the second quarter of fiscal year 2008 with working capital of $193.7 million
compared to working capital at June 24, 2007 of $198.8 million. The current ratio increased from
3.0 as of June 24, 2007 to 3.2 as of December 23, 2007.
Cash Used In Investing and Financing Activities
The Company provided $1.2 million for net investing activities and used $11.7 million in net
financing activities during the year-to-date period ended December 23, 2007. The primary cash
expenditures for investing and financing activities during this period included $11.0 million for
payment of long-term debt, $14.8 million for increased in restricted cash, $3.8 million in capital
expenditures, and $0.7 million for other financing activities offset by the proceeds from the sale
of capital assets of $10.5 million, and proceeds from the sale of equity affiliate of $8.8 million,
and return of capital from equity affiliates of $0.5 million.
The Company expects to pay the current portion of $1.3 million for its 2008 notes which come due in
February 2008. This will result in an annual interest savings of $0.1 million per year going
forward.
The Company estimates its fiscal year 2008 capital expenditures will be within a range of $10.0
million to $12.0 million. The Company has a restricted cash account reserved as first priority
collateral in accordance with its long-term borrowing agreement (the First Priority Collateral).
As of December 23, 2007, the Company had $18.8 million in restricted cash funds available for
capital expenditures and additional qualifying assets. The Company expects to receive an
additional $4.0 million in proceeds from the sale of properties which when added to the restricted
cash funds will exceed its projected domestic capital expense budget for fiscal year 2008. The
Companys capital expenditures primarily relate to maintenance of existing assets and equipment and
technology upgrades. Management continuously evaluates opportunities to further reduce production
costs, and the Company may incur additional capital expenditures from time to time as it pursues
new opportunities for further cost reductions.
The Company believes that cash generated by operations, together with access to its amended
revolving credit agreement (the Amended Credit Agreement) as described below, will be sufficient
to meet all operating and capital needs in the foreseeable future.
Long-Term Debt
In May 2006, the Company amended its asset-based revolving credit facility with the Amended Credit
Agreement to provide a $100 million revolving borrowing base (with an option to increase borrowing
capacity up to $150 million), to extend its maturity from 2006 to 2011, and to revise some of its
other terms and covenants. The Amended Credit Agreement is secured by first-priority liens on the
Companys and its subsidiary guarantors inventory, accounts receivable, general intangibles (other
than uncertificated capital stock of subsidiaries and other persons), investment property (other
than capital stock of subsidiaries and other persons), chattel paper, documents, instruments,
supporting obligations, letter of credit rights, deposit accounts and other related personal
property and all proceeds relating to any of the above, and by second-priority liens, subject to
permitted liens, on the Companys and its subsidiary guarantors assets securing the notes and
guarantees on a first-priority basis, in each case other than certain excluded assets. The
Companys ability to borrow under the Amended Credit Agreement is limited to a borrowing base equal
to specified percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory and is subject to other
conditions and limitations.
41
Table of Contents
Borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement bear interest at rates selected periodically by the
Company of LIBOR plus 1.50% to 2.25% for LIBOR rate revolving loans and prime plus 0.00% to 0.50%
for the prime rate revolving loan. The interest rate matrix is based on the Companys excess
availability under the Amended Credit Agreement. The interest rate in effect at December 23, 2007
was 7.25% for the prime rate revolving loan. Under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company pays
an unused line fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.35% per annum of the borrowing base.
As of December 23, 2007, the Company had three separate LIBOR rate revolving loans outstanding
under the credit facility; a $5.0 million, 6.98%, ninety day loan, a $10.0 million, 6.63% sixty day
loan, and a $10.0 million, 6.88%, ninety day loan. The Company intends to renew the loans as they
come due and reduce the outstanding borrowings as cash generated from operations becomes available.
As of December 23, 2007, under the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company had
remaining availability of $70.7 million.
The Amended Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative customary covenants for asset based
loans that restrict future borrowings and capital spending. Such covenants include, without
limitation, restrictions and limitations on (i) sales of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution
and the issuance of our capital stock, each subsidiary guarantor and any domestic subsidiary
thereof, (ii) permitted encumbrances on our property, each subsidiary guarantor and any domestic
subsidiary thereof, (iii) the incurrence of indebtedness by the Company, any subsidiary guarantor
or any domestic subsidiary thereof, (iv) the making of loans or investments by the Company, any
subsidiary guarantor or any domestic subsidiary thereof, (v) the declaration of dividends and
redemptions by the Company or any subsidiary guarantor and (vi) transactions with affiliates by the
Company or any subsidiary guarantor. As of December 23, 2007, the Company was in compliance with
the loan covenants.
The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary covenants for asset based loans which restrict
future borrowings and capital spending and, if availability is less than $25.0 million at any time
during the quarter, includes a required minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.1 to 1.0.
On May 26, 2006, the Company issued $190 million of 11.5% senior secured notes which mature on May
15, 2014 (the 2014 notes). The estimated fair value of the 2014 notes, based on quoted market
prices, at December 23, 2007 and June 24, 2007, was approximately $155.8 million and $188.1
million, respectively. The Company makes semi-annual interest payments of $10.9 million on the
fifteenth of November and May each year.
In accordance with the 2014 notes collateral documents and the indenture, the net proceeds of sales
of the First Priority Collateral are required to be deposited into a separate account whereby the
Company may use the restricted funds to purchase additional qualifying assets. As of December 23,
2007 and June 24, 2007, the Company had $18.8 million and $4.0 million, respectively, of restricted
funds available to purchase additional qualifying assets.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 141R, Business Combinations-Revised (SFAS 141R). This new
standard replaces SFAS 141 Business Combinations. SFAS 141R requires that the acquisition method
of accounting, instead of the purchase method, be applied to all business combinations and that an
acquirer be identified in the process. The statement requires that fair market value be used to
recognize assets and assumed liabilities instead of the cost allocation method where the costs of
an acquisition are allocated to individual assets based on their estimated fair values. Goodwill
would be calculated as the excess purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired;
however, negative goodwill will be recognized immediately as a gain instead of being allocated to
individual assets acquired. Costs of the acquisition will be recognized separately from the
business combination. The end result is that the statement improves the comparability, relevance
and
42
Table of Contents
completeness of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. SFAS 141R
is effective for business combinations which occur in fiscal years beginning on or after December
15, 2008.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial
Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51. This new standard requires that ownership interests held by
parties other than the parent be presented separately within equity in the statement of financial
position; the amount of consolidated net income be clearly identified and presented on the
statements of income; all transactions resulting in a change of ownership interest whereby the
parent retains control to be accounted for as equity transactions; and when controlling interest is
not retained by the parent, any retained equity investment will be valued at fair market value with
a gain or loss being recognized on the transaction. SFAS 160 is effective for business combinations
which occur in fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect
this statement to have an impact on its results of operations or financial condition.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financials Liabilities-Including an Amendment to FASB Statement No. 115 that expands the use of
fair value measurement of various financial instruments and other items. This statement provides
entities the option to record certain financial assets and liabilities, such as firm commitments,
non-financial insurance contracts and warranties, and host financial instruments at fair value.
Generally, the fair value option may be applied instrument by instrument and is irrevocable once
elected. The unrealized gains and losses on elected items would be recorded as earnings. SFAS 159
is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company continues to evaluate
the provisions of SFAS 159 and has not determined if it will make any elections for fair value
reporting of its assets.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157
addresses how companies should measure fair value when they are required to use a fair value
measure for recognition or disclosure purposes under generally accepted accounting principles. As a
result of SFAS 157 there is now a common definition of fair value to be used throughout GAAP. The
FASB believes that the new standard will make the measurement of fair value more consistent and
comparable and improve disclosures about those measures. The provisions of SFAS 157 were to be
effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. On December 14, 2007, the FASB issued
proposed FSP FAS 157-b which would delay the effective date of SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets
and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the
financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). This proposed FSP partially defers
the effective date of SFAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim
periods within those fiscal years for items within the scope of this FSP. Effective for fiscal year
2009, the Company will adopt SFAS 157 except as it applies to those nonfinancial assets and
nonfinancial liabilities as noted in proposed FSP FAS 157-b. The Company is in the process of
determining the financial impact of the partial adoption of SFAS 157 on its results of operations
and financial condition.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company is not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably
likely to have, a current or future material effect on the Companys financial condition, revenues,
expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Interest Rate Risk: The Company is exposed to interest rate risk through its various borrowing
activities. The majority of the Companys borrowings are in long-term fixed rate bonds.
Therefore, the market rate risk associated with a 100 basis point change in interest rates would
not be material to the Company at the present time.
Currency Exchange Rate Risk: The Company conducts its business in various foreign currencies. As
a result, it is subject to the transaction exposure that arises from foreign exchange rate
movements between the dates that foreign currency transactions are recorded (export sales and
purchase commitments) and the dates they are consummated (cash receipts and cash disbursements in
foreign currencies). The Company utilizes some natural hedging to mitigate these transaction
exposures. The Company also enters into foreign currency forward contracts for the purchase and sale of European, Brazilian, and North American currencies
to hedge balance sheet and income statement currency exposures. These contracts are principally
entered into for the purchase of inventory and equipment and the sale of Company products into
export markets. Counterparties for these instruments are major financial institutions.
Currency forward contracts are entered into to hedge exposure for sales in foreign currencies based
on specific sales orders with customers or for anticipated sales activity for a future time period.
Generally, 50% of the sales value of these orders is covered by forward contracts. Maturity dates
of the forward contracts attempt to match anticipated receivable collections. The Company marks
the outstanding accounts receivable and forward contracts to market at month end and any realized
and unrealized gains or losses are recorded as other income and expense. The Company also enters
currency forward contracts for committed or anticipated equipment and inventory purchases.
Generally, 50% of the asset cost is covered by forward contracts although 100% of the asset cost
may be covered by contracts in certain instances. Forward contracts are matched with the
anticipated date of delivery of the assets and gains and losses are recorded as a component of the
asset cost for purchase transactions when the Company is firmly committed. The latest maturity
date for all outstanding purchase and sales foreign currency forward contracts is January 2008 and
April 2008, respectively.
The dollar equivalent of these forward currency contracts and their related fair values are

For the quarters ended December 23, 2007 and December 24, 2006, the total impact of foreign
currency related items on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, including
transactions that were hedged and those that were not hedged, resulted in a pre-tax loss of $0.1
million and pre-tax income of $0.1 million, respectively. For the year-to-date periods ended
December 23, 2007 and December 24, 2006, the total impact of foreign currency related items was
pre-tax loss of $0.5 million and pre-tax income of $0.4 million, respectively.

Raw Material Supply: The Company depends on a limited number of third parties for certain of its
raw material supplies. Although alternative sources of raw materials exist, the Company may not be
able to obtain adequate supplies of such materials on acceptable terms, or at all, from other
sources. In addition, the Company in the past and may in the future experience interruptions or
limitations in the supply of raw materials, which would increase its product costs and could have
a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash
flows.
Inflation and Other Risks: The inflation rate in most countries the Company conducts business has
been low in recent years and the impact on the Companys cost structure has not been significant.
The Company is also exposed to political risk, including changing laws and regulations governing
international trade such as quotas and tariffs and tax laws. The degree of impact and the
frequency of these events cannot be predicted.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required
to be disclosed in the Companys financial statements filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a
timely manner, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Companys
management, specifically including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company carries out a variety of on-going procedures, under the supervision and with the
participation of the Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer to evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys
disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, the Companys Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were
effective as of December 23, 2007.
There has been no change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the
Companys most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Companys internal controls over financial reporting.
