Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. | Basis of Presentation | |
The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of Unifi, Inc. (the Company) at June 29, 2008 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 29, 2008, this information is unaudited and reflects all adjustments which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position at September 28, 2008,
and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended September 28, 2008 and
September 23, 2007. 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 29, 2008. Certain prior period amounts
have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. |

5. | Recent Accounting Pronouncements | |
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 159, Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial 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 No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. On
June 30, 2008, the Company determined it would not elect to record any eligible balance sheet
accounts at fair value. |
||
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 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 No. 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
No. 157 were to be effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. On February 12,
2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) FAS 157-2 which delays the effective date of SFAS
No. 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 FSP partially defers the effective date of SFAS No. 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 adopted SFAS No. 157
except as it applies to those nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities as noted in FSP
FAS 157-2 and the adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on its consolidated
financial statements. |
||
6. | Comprehensive Income (Loss) | |
Comprehensive loss amounted to $16.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 compared
to comprehensive loss of $5.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. Comprehensive
loss is comprised of $0.7 million of net loss and $15.8 million of negative cumulative
translation adjustments for the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. Comparatively, comprehensive
loss for the corresponding period in the prior year was comprised of $9.2 million of net losses
and $3.5 million of positive cumulative translation adjustments. The Company does not provide
income taxes on the impact of currency translations as earnings from foreign subsidiaries are
deemed to be permanently invested. |

8. | Income Taxes | |
The Companys income tax provision for the quarter ended September 28, 2008 resulted in tax
expense at an effective rate of 143.5% compared to the quarter ended September 23, 2007 which
resulted in a tax benefit at an effective rate of 43.1%. The primary difference between the
Companys income tax expense and the U.S. statutory rate for the quarter ended September 28,
2008 was an increase in the valuation allowance due to an increase in domestic pre-tax losses
upon which no tax benefit could be recognized. The primary differences between the Companys
income tax benefit and the U.S. statutory rate for the quarter ended September 23, 2007 were a
decrease in the valuation allowance for certain asset impairments and state income tax benefit. |
||
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 continued to record a valuation allowance against its net domestic deferred tax assets as
those net deferred assets are more likely than not to be unrealizable for income tax purposes.
The valuation allowance increased $0.6 million in the quarter ended September 28, 2008 compared
to a $5.1 million decrease in the quarter ended September 23, 2007. |
||
During the quarter ended September 28, 2008, the Company had a reduction in its FIN 48 liability
of $0.1 million in relation to a settlement with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) concerning
the audit of |
8
Table of Contents
its federal corporate income tax returns for the fiscal years 2003-2006. This reduction in FIN
48 liability had no impact on the effective tax rate for the quarter. The liability for
unrecognized tax benefits is expected to be reduced within the next twelve months by
approximately $1.5 million related to North Carolina income tax credit carry forwards that are
anticipated to expire unused by the end of fiscal year 2009. |
||
There was no change in the amount of interest and penalties during the quarter ended September
28, 2008. |
||
The Company is subject to income tax examinations for U.S. federal income taxes for fiscal years
2007 and 2008; the IRS recently concluded its exam for fiscal years 2003 through 2006. The
Company is also subject to income tax examinations for non-U.S. income taxes for tax years 2000
through 2008, and for state and local income taxes for fiscal years 2001 through 2008. |
||
9. | Stock-Based Compensation | |
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Board of Directors (Board) authorized
the issuance of 1,570,000 stock options from the 1999 Long-Term Incentive Plan of which 120,000
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 which range from 2.4
to 3.9 years. |
||
The Company incurred $0.3 million and $0.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal years
2009 and 2008, respectively, in stock-based compensation charges which were recorded as selling,
general and administrative (SG&A) expenses with the offset to additional paid-in-capital. |
||
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company issued 1,268,300 shares of common
stock as a result of the exercise of an equivalent number of stock options. |
||
10. | Assets Held for Sale | |
As of September 28, 2008 and June 29, 2008, the Company had assets held for sale related to the
consolidation of its polyester manufacturing capacity. Included in assets held for sale are the
remaining assets and structures at the Kinston site which have a carrying value of $1.6 million
and certain real property and related assets located in Yadkinville, North Carolina which have a
carrying value of $2.2 million. |
||
On September 29, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement to sell certain polyester real
property and related assets located in Yadkinville, North Carolina for $7.0 million. Upon the
closing of this sale, the Company expects to record a gain of approximately $5.0 million. The
Company anticipates that the sale will be completed during the second quarter of fiscal year
2009, however, the sale is subject to closing conditions and therefore the Company can make no
assurance that the sale will be completed during this time period or at all. |
||
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company completed the sale of a nylon
manufacturing facility located in Madison, North Carolina which was listed as held for sale.
Net proceeds from this transaction were $2.1 million. |

replacing them with newer machines purchased from the Companys domestic polyester division. As
a result, the Company recognized $0.5 million in non-cash impairment charges on the older
machines. |
||

||
12. | Severance and Restructuring Charges | |
Severance | ||
In the first quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company announced the closure of its polyester facility
in Kinston, North Carolina. The Kinston facility produced partially oriented yarn (POY) for
internal consumption and third party sales. The Company now purchases its commodity POY needs
from external suppliers for conversion in its texturing operations. The Company continues to
produce POY in the Yadkinville, North Carolina facility for its specialty and premier
valued-added (PVA) yarns and certain other commodity yarns. During the first quarter of fiscal
year 2008, the Company recorded $0.8 million for severance related to its Kinston consolidation
which was reflected on the Cost of sales line item in the Consolidated Statements of
Operations. Approximately 231 employees which included 31 salaried positions and 200 wage
positions were affected as a result of the reorganization. |
||
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company announced its plan to re-organize certain
corporate staff and manufacturing support functions to further reduce costs. The Company
recorded $1.1 million for severance related to this reorganization which was reflected on the
Restructuring charges line item of the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Approximately
54 salaried employees were affected by this reorganization. In addition, the Company recorded
severance of $2.4 million for its former President and Chief Executive Officer during the first
quarter of fiscal year 2008 and $1.7 million for severance related to its former Chief Financial
Officer during the second quarter of fiscal year 2008 which were reflected on the Selling,

||
On September 28, 2007, the Company completed the sale of its polyester manufacturing facilities
located in Staunton, Virginia for $3.1 million. The Company continued to lease the Staunton
property under an operating lease which currently expires in November 2008. On May 14, 2008, the
Company announced the closing of its Staunton, Virginia facility and the transfer of all its
production to its facility in Yadkinville, North Carolina. During the first quarter of fiscal
year 2009, the Company recorded $0.1 million for severance related to its Staunton
consolidation. Approximately 6 salaried employees and 35 wage employees will be affected by
this reorganization. The expenses were reflected on the Cost of sales line item in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations. |

13. | Discontinued Operations | |
On July 28, 2004, the Company announced its decision to close its European Division. The
manufacturing facilities in Ireland ceased operations on October 31, 2004. The Company is in
the process of settling its obligations relating to the closure. The Company does not
anticipate significant future cash flow activity from its discontinued operations. For the
quarters ended September 28, 2008 and September 23, 2007, the Company recorded losses of $0.1
million and $0, respectively. |
||
14. | Derivative Financial Instruments | |
The Company accounts for derivative contracts and hedging activities under SFAS No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities which requires all derivatives to
be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the
nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives are either offset against the
change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or
are recorded in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The
ineffective portion of a derivatives change in fair value is immediately recognized in
earnings. 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 and the dates they are consummated. The Company
utilizes some natural hedging to mitigate these transaction exposures. The Company primarily
enters into foreign currency forward contracts for the purchase and sale of European, North
American and Brazilian 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. Counter-parties for these
instruments are major financial institutions. |
||
Currency forward contracts are used 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 are intended 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.

For the quarters ended September 28, 2008 and September 23, 2007, 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 pre-tax income of $0.3
million and pre-tax loss of $0.3 million, respectively. |
||
15. | Contingencies | |
On September 30, 2004, the Company completed its acquisition of the polyester filament
manufacturing assets located at Kinston from INVISTA S.a.r.l. (INVISTA). The land for the
Kinston site was 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 (DENR) 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
containment at the identified AOCs and clean it 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 was to pass to the Company and after seven years of
sliding scale shared responsibility with DuPont, the Company would have had sole responsibility
for future remediation requirements, if any. Effective March 20, 2008, the Company entered into
a Lease Termination Agreement associated with conveyance of certain assets at Kinston to DuPont.
This agreement terminated the Ground Lease and relieved the Company of any future
responsibility for environmental remediation, other than participation with DuPont, if so called
upon, with regard to the Companys period of operation of the Kinston site. However, the
Company continues to own a satellite service facility acquired in the INVISTA transaction that
has contamination from DuPonts operations and is monitored by DENR. This site has been
remediated by DuPont and DuPont has received authority from DENR to discontinue remediation,
other than natural attenuation. DuPonts duty to monitor and report to DENR will be transferred
to the Company in the future, at which time DuPont must pay the Company for seven years of
monitoring and reporting costs and the Company will assume responsibility for any future
remediation and monitoring of the site. 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. |

16. | Related Party Transaction | |
In fiscal year 2007, the Company purchased the polyester and nylon texturing operations of
Dillon (the Transaction). In connection with the Transaction, the Company and Dillon entered
into a Sales and Services Agreement for a term of two years from January 1, 2007, pursuant to
which the Company agreed to pay Dillon an aggregate amount of $6.0 million in exchange for
certain sales and transitional services to be provided by Dillons sales staff and executive
management, of which $0.8 million was paid during the first quarter of both fiscal year 2009 and
fiscal year 2008. Mr. Stephen Wener is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Dillon and
is a director of the Company. |

For purposes of internal management reporting, segment operating income (loss) represents
segment net sales less cost of sales, allocated selling, general and administrative expenses,
segment restructuring charges, and segment impairments of long-lived assets. Certain
non-segment manufacturing and unallocated selling, general and administrative costs are
allocated to the operating segments based on activity drivers relevant to the respective costs.
In the prior year, consolidated intersegment sales were recorded at market. Beginning in fiscal
year 2009, the Company changed its domestic intersegment transfer pricing of inventory from a
market value approach to a cost approach. Using the new methodology, no intersegment sales are
recorded for domestic transfers of inventory. The amounts of domestic intersegment sales that
were included in the prior year numbers totaled $1.8 million for domestic polyester and $0.8
million for domestic nylon sales. The remaining intersegment sales relate to sales to the
Companys foreign subsidiaries which are still 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, interest expense, net, and
corporate equity investment and long-lived asset impairments. |
||
Segment operating income (loss) excluded the provision for bad debts of $0.6 million and $0.3
million for the current and prior year quarter periods, respectively. |
||
The total assets for the polyester segment decreased from $387.0 million at June 29, 2008 to
$365.9 million at September 28, 2008 due primarily to decreases in property, plant, and
equipment, accounts receivable, long-term restricted cash, short-term restricted cash, other
assets, cash, other current assets, and deferred taxes of $7.8 million, $6.4 million, $2.4
million, $2.0 million, $1.6 million, $0.8 million, $0.7 million, and $0.4 million, respectively.
These decreases were offset by increases in inventory of $1.0 million. The total assets for
the nylon segment increased from $92.5 million at June 29, 2008 to $93.9 million at September
28, 2008 due primarily to increases in inventory and cash of $4.0 million and $0.3 million,
respectively. These increases were offset by decreases in property, plant, and equipment and
accounts receivable of $2.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively. |

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 Unifi, Inc.s (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 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 consumer 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 nylon covered spandex products. The Company sells its products to other yarn
manufacturers, knitters and weavers that produce fabric for the apparel, hosiery, furnishings,
automotive, 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, hosiery, furnishings, industrial and other end-use markets. The
polyester segment primarily manufactures its products in Brazil and the United States (U.S.)
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 Colombia and
the U.S. which has the largest operations.
Recent Developments and Outlook
Although the global textile and apparel industry continues to grow, the U.S. textile and apparel
industry has contracted substantially since 1999. This contraction was 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.
According to industry experts, the North American polyester textile filament market is estimated to
have declined by approximately 5% in calendar year 2007 compared to an estimated decline of
approximately 16% 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
have expressed the need to have a balanced procurement strategy with both global and regional
producers. Industry experts originally projected a decline for calendar year 2008 at a rate of 4%
to 5%, similar to calendar year 2007; however, experts now believe the rate of polyester industry
contraction in North America during calendar year 2008 will be 8% to 10%. Unlike prior
contractions in North American production which were primarily due to import competition of
finished goods, the contraction in calendar year 2008 is driven by decreased demand at the retail
level.
The U.S. economic slowdown is expected to impact consumer spending and retail sales of the
Companys key market segments like apparel, furnishings, and automotive. During the last fiscal
year, the Company faced an extremely difficult operating environment, driven by a faltering
economy, and unprecedented increases in the cost of raw materials, energy and freight. However,
the Company has reacted decisively in dealing with these conditions. A combination of sales price
increases, cost containment, operational efficiencies and customer service, coupled with an
aggressive raw material sourcing strategy, has enabled the Company to successfully operate in this
environment.
21
Table of Contents
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, implementing cost saving strategies which will improve
its operating efficiencies, and leveraging the free-trade agreements to which the U.S. is a party.
The continued viability of the U.S. domestic textile and apparel industry is dependent, to a large
extent, on the international trade regulatory environment.
In addition to the difficult economic conditions in the U.S. markets, the Company was negatively
impacted by the continued rising cost of raw materials and other petrochemical driven costs during
the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. The impact of the surge in crude oil prices since the
beginning of fiscal year 2008 has created a spike in polyester and nylon raw material prices.
Costs for polyester raw materials were 25% higher on average during the September 2008 quarter as
compared to the prior year quarter. Nylon polymer costs during the September 2008 quarter were 15%
higher as compared to the same period last year. As raw material prices peaked in July 2008, the
Company was not able to pass all of these raw material increases along to its customers in the
first quarter which resulted in lower conversion margins. Additionally, as these higher priced
products continue to make their way through the inventory systems, operating results for the second
quarter of fiscal year 2009 may also be adversely impacted. However, management has taken recent
actions to help offset the market conditions, such as the consolidation of its manufacturing
capacity at its Staunton, Virginia and Yadkinville, North Carolina facilities.
Polyester raw yarn imports have declined 16% in calendar year 2008 while global imports of
synthetic apparel were down 4.4% during the first eight months of calendar year 2008. However,
imports from the U.S.Dominican RepublicCentral American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) region
were up 13.6% during the same period as U.S. brands and retailers continue to take advantage of the
shorter lead times and the competitiveness of the region. The trend toward regional production is
expected to continue and is significant because over half of the U.S. production goes into programs
that require regional fiber in order for the garment to qualify for duty free treatment.
The recent global economic turndown has negatively impacted the Companys sales volume beginning in
mid-September 2008 especially in the furnishing and automotive segments. In addition, the
tightening of the credit markets has negatively impacted the textile industry as three package dye
competitors have shut down in the past quarter. This recent trend in sales volume is expected to
continue in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. As the recapture of lost margins over raw
materials coupled with the benefits of asset consolidation projects accumulate, the Company expects
improvement in its financial results beginning in the third quarter of fiscal year 2009; however it
is uncertain about the direction of the overall economy.
Key Performance Indicators
The Company continuously reviews performance indicators to measure its success. The following are
the indicators management uses to assess performance of the Companys business:
| sales volume, which is an indicator of demand; | ||
| margins, which are indicators of product mix and profitability; | ||
| net income or loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and income or loss from discontinued operations (EBITDA), which are indicators of the Companys ability to pay debt; and | ||
| working capital of each business unit as a percentage of sales, which is an indicator of the Companys production efficiency and ability to manage its inventory and receivables. |

Corporate Restructuring
Severance
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company announced the closure of its polyester
facility in Kinston, North Carolina. The Kinston facility produced partially oriented yarn (POY)
for internal consumption and third party sales. The Company now purchases its commodity POY needs
from external suppliers for conversion in its texturing operations. The Company continues to
produce POY in the Yadkinville, North Carolina facility for its specialty and PVA yarns and certain
other commodity yarns. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company recorded $0.8
million for severance related its Kinston consolidation. Approximately 231 employees which
included 31 salaried positions and 200 wage positions were affected as a result of the
reorganization.
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company announced its plan to re-organize certain
corporate staff and manufacturing support functions to further reduce costs. The Company recorded
$1.1 million for severance related to this reorganization. Approximately 54 salaried employees
were affected by this reorganization. In addition, the Company recorded severance of $2.4 million
for its former President and Chief Executive Officer during the first quarter of fiscal year 2008
and $1.7 million for severance related to its former Chief Financial Officer during the second
quarter of fiscal year 2008.
On September 28, 2007, the Company completed the sale of its polyester manufacturing facilities
located in Staunton, Virginia for $3.1 million. The Company continued to lease the Staunton
property under an operating lease which currently expires in November 2008. On May 14, 2008, the
Company announced the closing of its Staunton, Virginia facility and the transfer of all its
production to its facility in Yadkinville, North Carolina. During the first quarter of fiscal year
2009, the Company recorded $0.1 million for severance related to its Staunton consolidation.
Approximately 6 salaried employees and 35 wage employees will be affected by this reorganization.
Restructuring
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company recorded $1.5 million for restructuring
charges related to unfavorable Kinston contracts for continued services after the closing of the
facility.

In August 2005, the Company formed YUFI, a 50/50 joint venture with Sinopec Yizheng Chemical Fiber
Co., Ltd, (YCFC), a publicly traded (listed in Shanghai and Hong Kong) enterprise, to
manufacture, process, and market commodity and specialty polyester filament yarn in YCFCs
facilities in China. The Company 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.
In July 2008, the Company announced a proposed agreement to sell its 50% ownership interest in
YUFI to its partner, YCFC, for $10.0 million and expects to close the transaction in the second
quarter of fiscal year 2009, pending final negotiation and execution of definitive agreements and
the receipt of Chinese regulatory approvals. However, there can be no assurances that this
transaction will occur or occur upon these terms. In connection with a review of the fair value of
YUFI during negotiations related to the sale, the Company initiated a review of the carrying value
of its investment in YUFI in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion 18, The Equity
Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock (APB 18). As a result of this review, the
Company determined that the carrying value of its investment in YUFI exceeded its fair value.
Accordingly, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $6.4 million in the fourth
quarter of fiscal year 2008.
For the quarter ended September 23, 2007, the Company recognized equity losses net of technology
and license fee income of $0.8 million. In addition, the Company recognized $0.8 million in
operating expenses for the quarter ended September 23, 2007, which was primarily reflected on the
Cost of sales line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, directly related to
providing technological support in accordance with the Companys joint venture contract. The
Company did not record its share of equity losses in YUFI for the quarter ended September 28, 2008,
since the carrying value of its investment reflects the lower fair value of $10.0 million as a
result of the impairment charge described above. In anticipation of the sale of its interest in
YUFI, the Company did not record any technology and license fee income during the quarter ended
September 28, 2008.
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 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. For the quarters ended
September 28, 2008 and September 23, 2007, the Company recognized net equity earnings of $3.5
million and $0.5 million, respectively. The Company received distributions from PAL of $2.1
million and $0.7 million during the quarters ended September 28, 2008 and September 23, 2007,
respectively.
In September 2000, the Company and SANS Fibres of South Africa (SANS Fibres) 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 was 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.
In September 2000, the Company and Nilit Ltd (Nilit) formed 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 operations. For the quarters ended September 28,
2008 and September 23, 2007, the Company recognized net equity earnings of nil and $0.5 million,
respectively.

As reflected in the tables above, consolidated net sales from continuing operations decreased from
$170.5 million to $169.0 million which was primarily attributable to decreased polyester segment
sales of $6.4 million offset by increased nylon segment sales of $4.9 million. Consolidated unit
volumes decreased by 13.0% for the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, while average net selling
prices increased 12.1% for the same period.
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 increased by $2.4 million to $13.4 million for
the quarter ended September 28, 2008 as compared to the prior year quarter. This increase was
primarily attributable to higher volumes and lower converting costs which were partially offset by
lower conversion margins in the nylon segment. Nylon volumes reflect a shift in mix and associated
volume increases resulting from strong demand in shape-wear and sock end-uses. Gross profit in the
polyester segment improved slightly over the prior year quarter, reflecting improved volumes and
margins in Brazil that were partially offset by declines in domestic polyester volumes and margins.
Consolidated selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense decreased by $3.9 million or
27.0% during the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 as compared to the prior year first quarter. The
decrease in SG&A for the first quarter was primarily a result of decreases of $2.4 million in
executive severance costs, $1.2 million in deposit write-offs, $0.3 million in professional fees,
$0.1 million in amortization of intangibles, $0.1 million in salaries and fringe expenses, and $0.1
million in depreciation expenses offset by increases of $0.3 million related to the Companys
Brazilian operation, which included $0.2 million related to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar
against the Brazilian real and $0.1 million related to increased salaries and benefits.
Other (income) expense decreased from $1.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 to $0.6
million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. The following table shows the components of
other (income) expense (amounts in thousands):

As a result of the improved performance of the Company discussed above, income from continuing
operations before income taxes was $1.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 as
compared to a loss of $16.1 million recorded in the same period of the prior year.
The Companys income tax provision for the quarter ended September 28, 2008 resulted in tax expense
at an effective rate of 143.5% compared to the quarter ended September 23, 2007 which resulted in a
tax benefit at an effective rate of 43.1%. The primary difference between the Companys income tax
expense and the U.S. statutory rate for the quarter ended September 28, 2008 was an increase in the
valuation allowance due to an increase in domestic pre-tax losses upon which no tax benefit could
be recognized. The primary differences between the Companys income tax benefit and the U.S.
statutory rate for the quarter ended September 23, 2007 were a decrease in the valuation allowance
for certain asset impairments and state income tax benefit.

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 continued
to record a valuation allowance against its net domestic deferred tax assets as those net deferred assets are
more likely than not to be unrealizable for income tax purposes. The valuation allowance increased
by $0.6 million in the quarter ended September 28, 2008 compared to a $5.1 million decrease in the
quarter ended September 23, 2007.
On June 25, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty
in Income Taxes, an interpretation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes (FIN 48). During the quarter ended September 28, 2008, the Company
had a reduction in its FIN 48 liability of $0.1 million in relation to a settlement with the
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) concerning the audit of its federal corporate income tax returns
for the fiscal years 2003-2006. This reduction in FIN 48 liability had no impact on the effective
tax rate for the quarter. The liability for unrecognized tax benefits is expected to be reduced
within the next twelve months by approximately $1.5 million related to North Carolina income tax
credit carry forwards that are anticipated to expire unused by the end of fiscal year 2009.
There was no change in the amount of interest and penalties during the quarter ended September 28,
2008.
There were no material losses from discontinued operations associated with the wind-up activities
of the Ireland facility for either the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 or the first quarter of
fiscal year 2008.
Polyester Operations
Polyester unit volumes decreased 16.0% for the quarter ended September 28, 2008, while average net
selling prices increased by 11.1% compared to the quarter ended September 23, 2007. Net sales for
the polyester segment for the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 decreased by $6.4 million or 4.9%
as compared to the same quarter in the prior year. Domestic sales of polyester decreased overall
by 16.1% primarily due to a decline in volume attributed to a reduction in merchant market sales of
commodity POY stemming from shutting the Kinston facility in October 2007 and to a reduction in
polyester sales related to the slowdown in the automotive and home upholstery markets. The
polyester price increases are attributable to enriched mix, reflecting lower POY sales, increased
volumes of PVA yarn and increases in raw material pricing.
Sales in local currency for the Brazilian operation increased by 14.4% for the quarter ended
September 28, 2008 compared to the same quarter in the prior year primarily due to a decrease in
average selling prices of 1.4% and an increase in unit volumes of 16.0%. The movement in currency
exchange rates from the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 to the first quarter of fiscal year 2009
positively impacted the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 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 first quarter were higher by $5.2 million than what sales would have been
using the prior year currency rates.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the polyester business was negatively impacted by the rising
cost of raw materials which was approximately 25% higher compared to the first quarter of the prior
year. The combination of record high crude oil prices, growing global demand for polyester, and
increased seasonal demand for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles which compete with
polyester for raw materials all negatively impacted the polyester segments profits for the first
quarter of fiscal year 2009, as the Company had limited ability to pass along the price increases
in the commodity segment that competes with imported yarns. Although fiber costs increased, total
converting costs decreased by 42% in the first quarter compared to the prior year quarter primarily
due to lower volumes, the closure of the Kinston facility and other consolidation efforts. As a
result of the above mentioned volume, pricing and cost impacts, gross profit for the polyester
segment increased by $0.3 million to $8.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009.

Table of Contents
SG&A expenses for the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 were $8.4 million compared to $12.3 million
in the same quarter in the prior year. Refer to the discussion of SG&A in the quarter overview
discussed above.
Nylon Operations
Nylon unit volumes increased by 14.6% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 compared to the
prior year quarter while average selling prices decreased by 2.7%. Net sales for the nylon segment
for the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 increased by $4.9 million or 11.8% as compared to the
same quarter in the prior year. This increase in net sales was primarily due to strong demand in
shape-wear and sock markets.
Total raw material costs increased by 13.9% over the prior quarter as result of the increased
volumes discussed above, while overall average per unit costs remained relatively flat as the
changes in product mix offset price increases. Total converting costs for the nylon segment
decreased by 5.5% as compared to the prior year quarter reflecting lower depreciation expense and
lower per unit costs driven by higher volumes and product mix. As a result, gross profit for the
nylon segment increased by $2.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2009.
SG&A expenses allocated to the nylon segment were $2.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal year
2009 which was consistent with the first quarter of the prior year. Refer to the discussion of
SG&A in the quarter overview discussed above.
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 first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company recognized $81
thousand of income related to the Plans change in market value. In the first quarter of fiscal
year 2008, the Company recognized $30 thousand in deferred compensation charges.
On July 26, 2006, the Board of Directors (Board) authorized the issuance of an additional
1,065,000 stock options to certain key employees from the 1999 Long-Term Incentive Plan. In
addition, on October 24, 2007, the Board authorized the issuance of approximately 1,570,000 stock
options from the 1999 Long-Term Incentive Plan, of which 120,000 were issued to certain Board
members and the remaining options were issued to certain key employees. As a result of these
grants, the Company incurred $0.3 million and $0.1 million
of stock-based compensation charges in the first quarters for fiscal years
2009 and 2008, respectively, which were recorded as SG&A expenses with the offset to additional
paid-in-capital.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity Assessment
The Companys primary capital requirements are for working capital, capital expenditures and
service of indebtedness. Historically the Company has met its working capital and capital
maintenance requirements from its operations. Asset acquisitions and joint venture investments
have been financed by asset sales proceeds, cash reserves and borrowing under its financing
agreements discussed below.
In addition to its normal operating cash and working capital requirements and service of its
indebtedness, the Company will also require cash to fund capital expenditures and enable cost
reductions through restructuring projects as follows:
Capital Expenditures. The Company estimates its fiscal year 2009 capital expenditures will be
within a range of $14.0 million to $16.0 million. The Company has restricted cash from the sale
of certain nonproductive assets reserved for domestic capital expenditures in accordance with
its long-term
29
Table of Contents
borrowing agreements. As of September 28, 2008, the Company had $14.5 million in
restricted cash funds available for domestic capital expenditures. 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.
Joint Venture Investments. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company received
$2.1 million in dividend distributions from its joint ventures. Although historically over the past
five years the Company has received distributions from certain of its joint ventures, there is
no guarantee that it will continue to receive distributions in the future. The Company may from
time to time increase its interest in its joint ventures, sell its interest in its joint
ventures, invest in new joint ventures or transfer idle equipment to its joint ventures.
On July 31, 2008, the Company announced a proposed agreement to sell its 50% ownership
interest in YUFI to its partner, YCFC, for $10.0 million, pending final negotiation and
execution of definitive agreements and the receipt of Chinese regulatory approvals, although no
assurance can be given in this regard.
The Companys management has decided that a fundamental change in its approach was required to
maximize its earnings and growth opportunities in the Chinese market. Accordingly, the Company
formed Unifi Textiles (Suzhou) Company, Ltd. (UTSC). The Company expects UTSC to be
operational during the second quarter of fiscal year 2009 and expects to invest between
approximately $3.0 million to $5.0 million for initial startup costs and working capital
requirements for UTSC.
Cash Provided by Continuing Operations
The Company generated $2.6 million of cash from continuing operations in the first quarter of
fiscal year 2009 compared to cash used in continuing operations of $1.2 million for the first
quarter of fiscal year 2008. The net loss of $0.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009
was adjusted positively for non-cash income and expense items such as depreciation and amortization
of $10.0 million, decreases in accounts receivable of $4.0 million, increases in accounts payable
and accrued expenses of $1.0 million, provision for bad debt of $0.6 million, decreases in other
miscellaneous items of $0.3 million, increase in additional paid in capital related to stock-based
compensation expense of $0.3 million, $0.2 million increase in income taxes payable, and losses
from discontinued operations of $0.1 million offset by increases in inventories of $10.2 million,
income from unconsolidated equity affiliates net of distributions of $1.4 million, increases in
prepaid expenses of $1.1 million, gains from the sale of capital assets of $0.3 million, decrease
in deferred taxes of $0.1 million, and decreases in plan liabilities of $0.1 million.
Cash received from customers increased from $171.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008
to $173.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 due to increased weighted average
pricing of 12% and improved collections from customers offset by a decrease in sales volume of 13%.
Payments for cost of goods sold and SG&A expenses net of salaries, wages and benefits increased
from $140.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 to $142.3 million in the first quarter
of fiscal year 2009 primarily as a result of increased fiber costs of 21% and decreased volume of
13%. Salary and wage payments decreased from $30.8 million to $28.5 million for the same
respective periods. Interest payments decreased from $1.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal
year 2008 to $0.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 primarily due to the reduction
in principal borrowing on Libor rate loans. Restructuring and severance payments were $1.9 million
in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 compared to payments of $0.9 million in first quarter of
fiscal year 2009. Taxes paid by the Company increased from $0.5 million in the first quarter of
fiscal year 2008 to $2.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 primarily due to the
timing of tax payments made by its Brazilian subsidiary. The Company received cash dividends of
$0.5 million in the first quarter 2008 as compared to $2.1 million in the first quarter 2009 as a
result of higher profits for PAL. Other cash from operations was derived from miscellaneous items,
other income (expense) items, and interest income.
30
Table of Contents
On a U.S. dollar basis, working capital decreased from $185.3 million at June 29, 2008 to $182.5
million at September 28, 2008 due to decreases in accounts receivable of $8.0 million, decreases in
restricted cash of $2.0 million, decreased deferred income tax assets of $0.4 million, increases in
accrued expenses of $0.5 million, decreases in assets held for sale of $0.3 million and increased
income taxes payable of $0.2 million offset by increases in inventory of $5.1 million, decreases in
current maturities of long-term debt and other current liabilities of $2.1 million, decreases in
accounts payable of $0.7 million, increases in other current assets of $0.6 million and increases
in cash of $0.1 million. Working capital was negatively affected by $10.0 million in currency
translations related to the Companys Brazilian subsidiary. If working capital was
calculated using the June 2008 Brazilian exchange rate, as opposed to the September 2008 exchange
rate, working capital as of September 28, 2008 would have been $7.2 million higher than the June
2008 figures. The current ratio remained flat at 3.3 at June 29, 2008 and September 28, 2008.
Cash Used in Investing Activities and Financing Activities
The Company provided $1.6 million from net investing activities and used $0.9 million in net
financing activities during the quarter ended September 28, 2008. The primary cash expenditures
for investing and financing activities during the current period included $9.1 million for payments
of long-term debt and $3.6 million in capital expenditures offset by cash sources of $5.2 million
in change in restricted cash, $4.6 million in borrowings of long-term debt, and $3.6 million for
stock option exercises.
The Companys ability to meet its debt service obligations and reduce its total debt will depend
upon its ability to generate cash in the future which, in turn, will be subject to general
economic, financial, business, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other conditions, many of
which are beyond its control. The Company may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow from
operations and future borrowings may not be available to the Company under its amended revolving
credit facility in an amount sufficient to enable it to repay its debt or to fund its other
liquidity needs. If its future cash flow from operations and other capital resources are
insufficient to pay its obligations as they mature or to fund its liquidity needs, the Company may
be forced to reduce or delay its business activities and capital expenditures, sell assets, obtain
additional debt or equity capital or restructure or refinance all or a portion of its debt on or
before maturity. The Company may not be able to accomplish any of these alternatives on a timely
basis or on satisfactory terms, if at all. In addition, the terms of its existing and future
indebtedness, including the $190 million of 11.5% senior secured notes which mature on May 15, 2014
(the 2014 notes) and its amended revolving credit facility, may limit its ability to pursue any
of these alternatives. See Item 1ARisk FactorsThe Company will require a significant amount of
cash to service its indebtedness, and its ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond
its control included in the Companys Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2008. Some
risks that could adversely affect its ability to meet its debt service obligations include, but are
not limited to, intense domestic and foreign competition in its industry, general domestic and
international economic conditions, changes in currency exchange rates, interest and inflation
rates, the financial condition of its customers and the operating performance of joint ventures,
alliances and other equity investments.
Other Factors Affecting Liquidity
Asset Sales. Under the terms of the Companys debt agreements, the Company has granted liens to
the lenders on substantially all of its assets (Collateral). Further, the debt agreements place
restrictions on the Companys ability to dispose of certain assets which do not qualify as
Collateral (Non-Collateral). Pursuant to the debt agreements the Company is restricted from
selling or otherwise disposing of either its Collateral or its Non-Collateral, subject to certain
exceptions, such as ordinary course of business inventory sales and sales of assets having a fair
market value of less than $2.0 million.
As of September 28, 2008, the Company has $3.8 million of assets held for sale which the Company
believes are probable to be sold during fiscal year 2009. Included in assets held for sale are the
remaining
31
Table of Contents
assets at the Kinston site with a carrying value of $1.6 million that would be considered
an Asset Sale of Collateral. Also included in assets held for sale is an idle facility located in
Yadkinville, North Carolina and the related equipment with a carrying value of $2.2 million. The
Company has entered into an agreement to sell the 380,000 square foot facility in Yadkinville for
$7.0 million and such sale will be a sale of Non-Collateral assets. The sale is anticipated to
close in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009.
In addition to the proceeds from assets held for sale, the Company announced on July 31, 2008, its
intentions to exit its equity investment in YUFI by selling its 50% interest to its partner, YCFC.
The Company announced a proposed agreement for the sale at a price of $10.0 million, subject to
pending final negotiation and execution of definitive agreements and internal and Chinese regulatory approvals.
The sale of this equity interest will be a sale of Non-Collateral under the terms of the Companys
debt agreements.
The indenture with respect to the 2014 notes dated May 26, 2006 between the Company and its
subsidiary guarantors and U.S. Bank, National Association, as the trustee (the Indenture) governs
the sale of both Collateral and Non-Collateral and the use of sales proceeds. The Company may not
sell Collateral unless it satisfies four requirements. They are:
1. | The Company must receive fair market value for the Collateral sold or disposed of; | ||
2. | Fair market value must be certified by the Companys Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer and for sales of Collateral in excess of $5.0 million, by the Companys Board of Directors; | ||
3. | At least 75% of the consideration for the sale of the Collateral must be in the form of cash or cash equivalents and 100% of the proceeds must be deposited by the Company into a specified account designated under the Indenture (the Collateral Account); and | ||
4. | Any remaining consideration from an asset sale that is not cash or cash equivalents must be pledged as Collateral. |
Within 360 days after the deposit of proceeds from the sale of Collateral into the Collateral
Account, the Company may invest the proceeds in certain other assets, such as capital expenditures
or certain permitted capital investments (Other Assets). Any proceeds from the sale of
Collateral that are not applied or invested as set forth above, shall constitute excess proceeds
(Excess Proceeds).
Once Excess Proceeds from sales of Collateral exceed $10.0 million, the Company must make an offer,
no later than 365 days after such sale of Collateral to all holders of the 2014 notes to repurchase
such 2014 notes at par (Collateral Sale Offer). The Collateral Sale Offer must be made to all
holders to purchase 2014 notes to the extent of the Excess Collateral Proceeds. Any Excess Proceeds
remaining after the completion of a Collateral Sale Offer may be used by the Company for any
purpose not prohibited by the Indenture. As of September 28, 2008, the balance in the Collateral
Account was $14.5 million and is included as non-current restricted cash as it relates to the
future purchase of long-term assets.
The Indenture also governs sales of Non-Collateral. The Company may not sell Non-Collateral unless
it satisfies three specific requirements. They are:
1. | The Company must receive fair market value for the Non-Collateral sold or disposed of; | ||
2. | Fair market value must be certified by the Companys Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer and for asset sales in excess of $5.0 million, by the Companys Board of Directors; and, | ||
3. | At least 75% of the consideration for the sale of Non-Collateral must be in the form of cash or cash equivalents. |
The Indenture does not require the proceeds to be deposited by the Company into the applicable
Collateral Account, since the assets sold were not Collateral under the terms of the Indenture.
32
Table of Contents
Within 360 days after receipt of the proceeds from a sale of Non-Collateral, the Company may
utilize the proceeds in one of the following ways: 1) repay, repurchase or otherwise retire the
2014 notes; 2) repay, repurchase or otherwise retire the 2014 notes and other indebtedness of the
Company that is pari passu with the 2014 notes, on a pro rata basis; 3) repay indebtedness of
certain subsidiaries identified in the Indenture, none of which are a Guarantor; or 4) acquire or
invest in Other Assets. Any net proceeds from a sale of Non-Collateral that are not applied or
invested as set forth above, shall constitute Excess Proceeds.
Once Excess Proceeds from sales of Non-Collateral exceed $10.0 million the Company must make an
offer, no later than 365 days after such sale of Non-Collateral to all holders of the 2014 notes
and holders of other indebtedness that is pari passu with the 2014 notes to purchase or redeem the
maximum amount of 2014 notes and/or other pari passu indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds (Asset
Sale Offer). The purchase price of such an Asset Sale Offer must be equal to 100% of the
principal amount of the 2014 notes and such other indebtedness. Any Excess Proceeds remaining after
completion of the Asset Sale Offer may be used by the Company for any purpose not prohibited by the
Indenture.
Note Repurchases from Sources Other than Sales of Collateral and Non-Collateral. In addition to
the offers to repurchase notes set forth above, the Company may also, from time to time, seek to
retire or purchase its outstanding debt, in open market purchases, in privately negotiated
transactions or otherwise. Such retirement or purchase of debt may come from the operating cash
flows of the business or other sources and will depend upon prevailing market conditions, liquidity
requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors, and the amounts involved may be material.
The preceding description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Indenture and the
2014 Notes which are listed on the Exhibit Index of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year June 29, 2008.
Stock Repurchase Program. Effective July 26, 2000, the Board authorized the Company to repurchase
up to 10.0 million shares of its common stock. The Company purchased 1.4 million shares in fiscal
year 2001 for a total of $16.6 million. There were no significant stock repurchases in fiscal year
2002. Effective April 24, 2003, the Board re-instituted the stock repurchase program.
Accordingly, the Company purchased 0.5 million shares in fiscal year 2003 and 1.3 million shares in
fiscal year 2004. As of September 28, 2008, the Company had remaining authority to repurchase
approximately 6.8 million shares of its common stock under the repurchase plan. The repurchase
program was suspended in November 2003, and the Company has no immediate plans to reinstitute the
program.
Environmental Liabilities. On September 30, 2004, the Company completed its acquisition of the
polyester filament manufacturing assets located at Kinston from INVISTA S.a.r.l. (INVISTA). The
land for the Kinston site was 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 (DENR) 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 containment at the identified AOCs and clean it 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 was to pass to the Company and after seven years of sliding
scale shared responsibility with DuPont, the Company would have had sole responsibility for future
remediation requirements, if any. Effective March 20, 2008, the Company entered into a Lease
Termination Agreement associated with conveyance of certain assets at Kinston to DuPont. This
agreement terminated the Ground Lease and relieved the Company of any future responsibility for
environmental remediation, other than participation with DuPont, if so called upon, with regard to
the Companys period of operation of the Kinston site. However, the Company continues to own a
satellite service facility acquired in the INVISTA transaction that has contamination from DuPonts
operations and is monitored by DENR. This
33
Table of Contents
site has been remediated by DuPont and DuPont has
received authority from DENR to discontinue remediation, other than natural attenuation. DuPonts
duty to monitor and report to DENR will be transferred to the Company in the future, at which time
DuPont must pay the Company for seven years of monitoring and reporting costs and the Company will
assume responsibility for any future remediation and monitoring of the site. 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.
Market Conditions. The current global economic conditions could reduce demand for the Companys
product faster than managements ability to react through further consolidation of its
manufacturing capacity, since the Company is a high volume, high fixed cost business. These
conditions could also materially affect the Companys customers causing reductions or cancellations
of existing sales orders and inhibit the collectibility of receivables. In addition, the
Companys suppliers may be unable to fulfill the
Companys outstanding orders or could change credit terms that would negatively affect the
Companys liquidity. All of these factors could adversely impact the Companys results of
operations, financial condition and cash flows.
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.
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 Company can decrease the LIBOR revolving loan interest rate
by 0.25% if it maintains a fixed charge coverage ratio in excess of 1.5 to 1.0 for the four
previous fiscal quarters. The interest rate matrix is based on the Companys excess availability
under the Amended Credit Agreement. The interest rate in effect at September 28, 2008 was 5.00%
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. The Company primarily borrows
using the LIBOR fixed rate loans discussed below.
As of September 28, 2008, the Company had no separate LIBOR rate revolving loans outstanding under
the credit facility. As of September 28, 2008, under the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement,
the Company had remaining availability of $89.3 million, however given the current economic
conditions in the U.S. and the tightening of the credit markets, the Companys ability to borrow
under the agreement may be negatively impacted.
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
34
Table of Contents
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.
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 the 2014 notes. The estimated fair value of the 2014 notes,
based on quoted market prices, at September 28, 2008 and at June 29, 2008, was approximately $156.8
million and $157.7 million, respectively. The Company makes semi-annual interest payments of $10.9
million on the fifteenth of November and May each year.
As of September 28, 2008, the Company was in compliance with the Amended Credit Agreement and 2014
note covenants.
As discussed under Other Factors Affecting Liquidity, 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 September 28, 2008 and June 29, 2008, the
Company had $14.5 million and $18.2 million, respectively, of restricted funds available to
purchase additional qualifying assets.
Unifi do Brazil, receives loans from the government of the State of Minas Gerais to finance 70% of
the value added taxes due by Unifi do Brazil to the State of Minas Gerais. These twenty-four month
loans were granted as part of a tax incentive program for producers in the State of Minas Gerais.
The loans have a 2.5% origination fee and bear an effective interest rate equal to 50% of the
Brazilian inflation rate, which was 12.3% on September 28, 2008. The loans are collateralized by a
performance bond letter issued by a Brazilian bank, which secures the performance by Unifi do
Brazil of its obligations under the loans. In return for this performance bond letter, Unifi do
Brazil makes certain restricted cash deposits with the Brazilian bank in amounts equal to 100% of
the loan amounts. The deposits made by Unifi do Brazil earn interest at a rate equal to
approximately 100% of the Brazilian prime interest rate which was 13.7% as of September 28, 2008.
The ability to make new borrowings under the tax incentive program ended in May 2008 and was
replaced by other favorable tax incentives.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 159, Fair
Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial 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 No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2007. On June 30, 2008, the Company determined it would not elect to record any
eligible balance sheet accounts at fair value.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 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 No. 157 there is now a common definition of fair value to be used throughout U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles (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 No. 157 were to be effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007. On February 12, 2008, the FASB issued Staff

Position (FSP) FAS 157-2 which
delays the effective date of SFAS No. 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 FSP partially defers the effective date of SFAS No. 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 adopted
SFAS No. 157 except as it applies to those nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities as
noted in FSP FAS 157-2 and the adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on its
consolidated financial statements.
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.
Forward-Looking Statements
Forward-looking statements are those that do not relate solely to historical fact. They include,
but are not limited to, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results,
performance, achievements or events. They may contain words such as believe, anticipate,
expect, estimate, intend, project, plan, will, or words or phrases of similar meaning.
They may relate to:
| the competitive nature of the textile industry and the impact of worldwide competition; | ||
| changes in the trade regulatory environment and governmental policies and legislation; | ||
| the availability, sourcing and pricing of raw materials; | ||
| general domestic and international economic and industry conditions in markets where the Company competes, such as recession and other economic and political factors over which the Company has no control; | ||
| changes in consumer spending, customer preferences, fashion trends and end-uses; | ||
| its ability to reduce production costs; | ||
| changes in currency exchange rates, interest and inflation rates; | ||
| the financial condition of its customers; | ||
| its ability to sell excess assets; | ||
| technological advancements and the continued availability of financial resources to fund capital expenditures; | ||
| the operating performance of joint ventures, alliances and other equity investments; | ||
| the impact of environmental, health and safety regulations; | ||
| the loss of a material customer; | ||
| employee relations; | ||
| volatility of financial and credit markets; |

| the continuity of the Companys leadership; and | ||
| the success of the Companys consolidation initiatives. |
These forward-looking statements reflect the Companys current views with respect to future events
and are based on assumptions and subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results
to differ materially from trends, plans or expectations set forth in the forward-looking
statements. New risks can emerge from time to time. It is not possible for the Company to predict
all of these risks, nor can it assess the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors,
may cause actual results to differ from those contained in forward-looking statements. The Company
will not update these forward-looking statements, even if its situation changes in the future,
except as required by federal securities laws.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Company is exposed to market risks associated with changes in interest rates and currency
fluctuation rates, which may adversely affect its financial position, results of operations and
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In addition, the Company is also exposed to other risks in the operation
of its business.
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, North American, and Brazilian 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. The Company is specifically exposed to
currency exchange rate risk in its Brazilian operation.
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 are intended 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 November 2008 and
January 2009, respectively.

For the quarters ended September 28, 2008 and September 23, 2007, 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 pre-tax income of $0.3
million and pre-tax loss of $0.3 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
As of September 28, 2008, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls
and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) was performed under the supervision and with
the participation of the Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer have concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are
effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its reports that it
files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that
information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports the Company files or submits
under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including its
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.
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.

Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
There are no pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the
Companys business, to which the Company is a party or of which any of its property is the
subject.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes in the Companys risk factors from those disclosed in Part I,
Item 1A. Risk Factors in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 29,
2008. Those risk factors could materially affect the Companys business, financial condition and
future results and should be carefully considered. Additional risks and uncertainties not
currently known to management or that it currently deems to be immaterial also may materially
adversely affect the Companys business, financial condition and operating results.

On April 25, 2003, the Company announced that its Board had reinstituted the Companys previously
authorized stock repurchase plan at its meeting on April 24, 2003. The plan was originally
announced by the Company on July 26, 2000 and authorized the Company to repurchase of up to 10.0
million shares of its common stock. During fiscal years 2004 and 2003, the Company repurchased
approximately 1.3 million and 0.5 million shares, respectively. The repurchase program was
suspended in November 2003 and the Company has no immediate plans to reinstitute the program. As
of September 28, 2008, there is remaining authority for the Company to repurchase approximately 6.8
million shares of its common stock under the repurchase plan. The repurchase plan has no stated
expiration or termination date.
Items 3, 4 and 5 are not applicable and have been omitted.
