Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. | Basis of Presentation | |
The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of Unifi, Inc. (The Company) 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 March 23, 2008, and
the results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended March 23, 2008 and March 25,
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 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 | |
The Companys significant accounting policies are listed in 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): |
March 23, | June 24, | |||||||
2008 | 2007 | |||||||
Raw materials and supplies |
$ | 54,469 | $ | 49,690 | ||||
Work in process |

Finished goods |
66,965 | 74,421 | ||||||
$ | 128,903 | $ | 132,282 | |||||
On June 25, 2007, the Company changed its method of accounting for certain inventories from
the 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 thirty-nine
weeks ended March 23, 2008. |
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 expense for the quarter ended March 23, 2008 resulted in an effective
tax rate of 95.4 % compared to the quarter ended March 25, 2007 which resulted in an effective
tax rate of negative 13.1%. The Companys income tax benefit for the year-to-date period ended
March 23, 2008 resulted in an effective tax rate of negative 40.0% compared to the year-to-date
period ended March 25, 2007 which resulted in an effective tax rate of negative 9.2%. The
primary differences between the Companys income tax expense and the U.S. statutory rate for the
quarter ended March 23, 2008 were losses from certain foreign operations taxed at a lower
effective rate, stock based compensation, and an increase in the valuation allowance. The
primary differences between the Companys income tax benefit and the U.S. statutory rate for the
year-to-date period ended March 23, 2008 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 increased $0.2 million and decreased $6.7 million in the quarter and year-to
date periods ended March 23, 2008, respectively, compared to increases of $2.9 million and $8.0
million in the quarter and year-to-date periods ended March 25, 2007, respectively. The increase
in the valuation allowance for the quarter ended March 23, 2008 was primarily due to 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 March 23, 2008 was
primarily due to derecognition of unrealized tax benefits with respect to North Carolina income
tax credit carryforwards, a reduction in estimated capital losses related to certain property,
plant, and equipment, and 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 SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes
(FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an
enterprises financial statements in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board
(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 periods ended March 23, 2008. |
||
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 income (loss) amounted to $1.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2008
and comprehensive loss of $9.1 million for the year-to-date periods of fiscal year 2008,
respectively, compared to comprehensive losses of $10.5 million and $37.2 million for the third
quarter and the year-to-date periods of fiscal year 2007. Comprehensive losses were comprised
of net income of $0.0 million and net losses of $16.9 million for the third quarter and
year-to-date periods of fiscal year 2008, respectively, and foreign translation gains of $1.3
million and $7.8 million, respectively. Comparatively, comprehensive losses for the
corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year were derived from net losses of $13.3 million and
$41.6 million, and foreign translation gains of $2.8 million and $4.4 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 March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 161,
Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 133 requiring enhancements to the SFAS No.133 disclosure requirements for
derivative and hedging activities. The objective of the enhanced disclosure requirement is to
provide the user of financial statements with a clearer understanding of how the entity uses
derivative instruments; how derivatives are accounted for; and how derivatives affect an
entitys financial position, cash flows and performance. The statement applies to all derivative
and hedging instruments. SFAS No.161 is effective for all fiscal years and interim periods
beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is evaluating its current disclosures of
derivative and hedging instruments and the impact SFAS No.161 will have on its future
disclosures. |
||
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No.141R, Business Combinations-Revised. This new
standard replaces SFAS No.141 Business Combinations. SFAS No.141R requires that the
acquisition method of accounting, instead of the purchase method, be applied to all business
combinations and that an acquirer is 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 No.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 No.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 No.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 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. The
Company continues to evaluate the provisions of SFAS No. 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 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 December 14,
2007, the FASB issued proposed Staff Position (FSP) FAS 157-b which would delay 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 proposed 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 will adopt SFAS No. 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 No. 157 on its results of operations and financial condition. |

For purposes of internal management reporting, segment operating income (loss) represents net
sales less cost of sales, allocated selling, general and administrative expenses, restructuring
(recoveries) charges, and write down of long-lived assets. 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. |

Table of Contents
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,
corporate asset impairments, and certain unallocated selling, general and administrative
expenses. |
||
Segment operating loss excluded the provision for bad debts of $0.1 million and $2.3 million for
the current and prior year third quarter periods, respectively, and $0.2 million and $2.9
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
$380.9 million at March 23, 2008 due primarily to decreases in property, plant, and equipment,
cash, inventory, deferred taxes, assets held for sale, and other assets of $15.9 million, $10.4
million, $6.1 million, $4.0 million, $3.6 million, and $1.9 million, respectively. These
decreases were offset by increases in other current assets and accounts receivable of $1.8
million and $1.6 million, respectively. The total assets for the nylon segment decreased from
$110.7 million at June 24, 2007 to $96.9 million at March 23, 2008 due primarily to decreases in
property, plant, and equipment, assets held for sale, deferred tax assets, and accounts
receivable of $10.5 million, $3.4 million, $2.6 million, and $0.2 million, respectively. These
decreases were offset by increases in inventory and cash of $2.7 million and $0.2 million,
respectively. |
||
8. | Stock-Based Compensation | |
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006, the Board of Directors (Board) authorized
the issuance of 150,000 stock options from the 1999 Long-Term Incentive Plan to certain key
employees. These 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. |
||
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, 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 300,000 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 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. |
||
As a result of these grants, the Company incurred $0.3 million and $0.2 million in the
third quarters of fiscal years 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $0.7 million and $1.4 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 No. 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 March 2008 and July 2008, respectively. |
||
The dollar equivalent of these forward currency contracts and their related fair values are

For the quarters ended March 23, 2008 and March 25, 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 $0.2 million and
pre-tax loss of $0.1 million, respectively. For the year-to-date periods ended March 23, 2008
and March 25, 2007, the total impact of foreign currency related items was pre-tax loss of $0.3
million and pre-tax income of $0.3 million, respectively. |

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company completed the sale of its 50% interest in
Unifi-SANS Technical Fibers, LLC (USTF). On November 30, 2007, the Company 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 income. |
||
The Companys management has been aggressively working with Sinopec Yizheng Chemical Fiber Co.,
Ltd, (YCFC) to restructure the joint venture. At this time, the Company believes that the
issues the joint venture is facing in China go beyond difficult market conditions related to raw
material price increases or fluctuations in demand. In light of these concerns, the Company is
exploring all strategic alternatives in China, including the possible re-sizing of the joint
venture and adjusting its product mix or exiting the joint venture all together. There can be
no assurance that such restructuring will be successful and in the event it is not successful,
the Company will consider exiting the joint venture. At this time, the Company does not believe
either alternative will have a material impact on its financial position. Nevertheless, the
Company remains committed to serving its Asian customer base with value-added products produced
in China. |

11. | Severance and Restructuring Charges | |
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company recorded $2.4 million in connection
with the termination of its former Chairman, President and CEO, and $1.1 million relating to
other corporate staff and manufacturing support. During the second quarter fiscal 2008, the
Company announced that it entered into a severance agreement which provided for the termination
of the Companys former Vice President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and
as a result, the Company recorded an additional severance charge of $1.7 million in the second
quarter of fiscal year 2008. As of March 23, 2008, the Company classified $2.0 million of the
executive severance as long term. |
||
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
Company is obligated to provide to a tenant through June 2008. The Company recorded an
additional $0.4 million in severance costs related to Kinston employees who are associated with
providing these services. |
||
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company settled certain disputed amounts with
the Kinston tenant related to site services reimbursements and as a result reduced the reserve
by a net $2.2 million with an offset to restructuring recoveries. |
||
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 negotiated the remaining obligation on the lease and as
a result recorded a $0.4 million favorable adjustment resulting in a remaining lease obligation
of $2.0 million at December 23, 2007. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company
paid the remaining $2.0 million related to the cancellation of the lease obligation. |
||
Total charges for severance and restructuring were $9.9 million for fiscal year 2008 of which
$4.6 million was recorded as restructuring charges, $4.1 million was recorded as selling,
general and administrative expenses charges, and $1.2 million was recorded as cost of goods
sold. For segment reporting, $9.1 million was reflected in the polyester segment and $0.8
million in the nylon segment. |
||
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. |

12. | Impairment Charges | |
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, during the second quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company began negotiations with
a third party to sell Kinston. As a result of these negotiations, management concluded that
the carrying value of the real estate exceeded its fair value. Accordingly, the Company
recorded $0.7 million in non-cash impairment charges. The Company closed on the sale of the
facility in the third quarter of fiscal year 2008. See Footnote 13. Assets Held For Sale for
further discussion of the sale of this facility. |
||
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 No.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 second
quarter of fiscal year 2007. |

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. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company negotiated a settlement of
$0.3 million which is currently in the approval process with the State of North Carolina. |
||
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 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 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 of the 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. 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 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
branded and unbranded 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 substantially 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. According to
industry experts, the North American polyester textile filament market is estimated to have
declined around 5% in calendar year 2007 compared to an estimated decline of around 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 similar to calendar 2007. However, the
experts now believe the rate of polyester industry contraction in North America during calendar
year 2008 will be approximately 10%. Unlike prior contractions in the North American production
which were caused by import competition the contraction in calendar 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 segments like apparel, furnishings, and automotive.
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, to implement cost saving
strategies which will improve its operating efficiencies, and leveraging the free-trade agreements
to which the United States 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.

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 Companys business strategy in China and gain market share. 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%. The Companys China joint venture has not
been profitable to date and the Company has been aggressively working with Sinopec Yizheng
Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd, (YCFC) to restructure the joint venture to focus on profitable
product lines. There can be no assurance that such restructuring will be successful and in
the event it is not successful, the Company will consider exiting the joint venture. At
this time, the Company does not believe either alternative will have a material impact on
its financial position. Nevertheless, the Company remains committed to serving its Asian
customer base with value-added products produced in China. |
||
| 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 (Kinston). The Company has further
developed strategic relationships with its raw material suppliers to ensure a source of raw
materials on a more competitive basis. The Company sold a portion of its nitrogen discharge
credits associated with Kinston for $0.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2008. On
March 20, 2008, the Company completed the sale of certain assets located at Kinston. There were no
net proceeds from this transaction.
On November 30, 2007, the Company completed the sale of its interest in Unifi-SANS Technical
Fibers, LLC (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 income.
In addition, the Company completed the sale of idle manufacturing facilities located in Dillon,
South Carolina, Reidsville, North Carolina, and Plant 7 Madison, North Carolina which generated net
proceeds of $3.9 million, $0.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively. The Company also completed
the sale of its manufacturing facility in Staunton, Virginia, which generated net proceeds of $3.1
million. The Company is leasing the Staunton property under a short term operating lease. The
proceeds of these sales were recorded as restricted cash. For further discussions relating to
restricted cash, see the paragraph under Long-Term Debt caption in the Liquidity and Capital
Resource section of this Item.
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
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company recorded $2.4 million in connection with
the termination of its former Chairman, President and CEO, and $1.1 million relating to other
corporate staff and manufacturing support. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2008, the
Company announced that it entered into a severance agreement which provides for the termination of
the Companys former Vice President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer and, as a
result, the Company recorded an additional severance charge of $1.7 million in the second quarter
of fiscal year 2008.
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 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, which the
Company is obligated to provide to a tenant through June 2008. The Company recorded an additional
$0.4 million in severance costs related to Kinston employees who are associated with providing
these services.
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company settled certain disputed amounts with the
Kinston tenant related to site services reimbursements and as a result reduced the reserve by a net
$2.2 million with an offset to restructuring recoveries.
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
result recorded a $0.4 million favorable adjustment resulting in a remaining lease obligation of
$2.0 million at December 23, 2007. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company paid
the remaining $2.0 million related to the cancellation of the lease obligation.
Total charges for severance and restructuring were $9.9 million for fiscal year 2008 of which $4.6
million was recorded as restructuring charges, $4.1 million was recorded as selling, general and
administrative expenses charges, and $1.2 million was recorded as cost of goods sold. For segment
reporting, $9.1 million was reflected in the polyester segment and $0.8 million in the nylon
segment.
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.
As of March 23, 2008, the Company classified $2.0 million of severance as long term.

The most recent depreciation and amortization expenses for each equity affiliate as reported from
their December 2007 (PAL and UNF) and May 2007 (YUFI) annual audited statements are as follows:
$21.0 million for PAL, $5.3 million for YUFI, and $1.8 million for UNF.
In August 2005, the Company formed YUFI, a 50/50 joint venture with 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 PVA 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
30
Table of Contents
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 March 23,
2008, the Company recorded $0.4 million and $1.8 million, respectively, in revenues from the
agreement as compared to $1.3 million and $2.1 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods
ended March 25, 2007.
The joint venture continues to struggle against the increases in raw materials prices, which were
not isolated to North America. During the quarter ended March 23, 2008, volumes were also impacted
due to the shut down time associated with the Chinese New Year, and export volume continued to be
negatively impacted by lower consumer demand from Europe and the U.S. As a result, the market in
China remained very soft, which had a direct impact on the performance of the joint venture. For
the quarter and year-to-date periods ended March 23, 2008, the Company recognized equity losses
relating to YUFI of $2.0 million and $3.7 million, respectively, which is reported net of
technology and license fee income. For the quarter and year-to-date periods ended March 25, 2007,
the Company recognized net equity losses of $0.7 million and $4.3 million, respectively. In
addition, the Company recognized $0.3 million and $1.6 million in operating expenses for the
quarter and year-to-date periods of fiscal year 2008, respectively, compared to $0.8 million and
$2.9 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.
The Companys management has been aggressively working with Sinopec Yizheng Chemical Fiber Co.,
Ltd, (YCFC) to restructure the joint venture. At this time, the Company believes that the issues
the joint venture is facing in China go beyond difficult market conditions related to raw material
price increases or fluctuations in demand. In light of these concerns, the Company is exploring
all strategic alternatives in China, including the possible re-sizing of the joint venture and
adjusting its product mix or exiting the joint venture all together. There can be no assurance
that such restructuring will be successful and in the event it is not successful, the Company will
consider exiting the joint venture. At this time, the Company does not believe either alternative
will have a material impact on its financial position. Nevertheless, the Company remains committed
to serving its Asian customer base with value-added products produced 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 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 March 23, 2008, the Company had
equity earnings relating to PAL of $3.0 million and $4.5 million compared to equity earnings of
$1.7 million and $0.8 million for the corresponding periods in the prior year. The Company has
received accumulated distributions from PAL of $1.2 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 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 quarter-to-date periods ended March 23, 2008
and March 25, 2007, the Company recognized net equity losses of $0.2 million and $0.4 million,
respectively. For the year-to-date periods ended March 23, 2008 and March 25, 2007, the Company
recognized net equity income of $0.1 million and net equity losses of $0.7 million, respectively.

As reflected in the tables above, consolidated net sales from continuing operations decreased from
$178.2 million to $169.8 million which was attributable to the $11.9 million decrease in the
polyester segment net of the $3.5 million increase in the nylon segment. Consolidated unit volume
decreased 15.5% for the third quarter of fiscal year 2008, while average net selling prices
increased 10.8% for the same period.

Table of Contents
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 remained flat at $13.4 million for the quarter
ended March 23, 2008 when compared to the quarter ended March 25, 2007, however, gross profit as a
percentage of net sales improved 0.4%.
Consolidated SG&A decreased by $1.1 million or 9.8% for the third quarter of fiscal year 2008 as
compared to the prior year third quarter, and decreased 0.4% as a percentage of sales when compared
to the same prior year period. The decrease in SG&A for the third quarter was primarily a result of
decreases of $0.7 million in Dillon Yarn acquisition related amortization and service fees, $0.4
million in salaries and fringe expenses, $0.2 million in professional fees, and $0.1 million in
other miscellaneous expenses offset by increases of $0.3 million related to the Companys Brazilian
operation due to an increase in its currency translation.
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Company performed an impairment review in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 144 of its Mayodan, North
Carolina and Madison, North Carolina facilities and recorded non-cash impairment charges of $7.4
million. In addition, the idle equipment relating to the Madison, North Carolina and Reidsville,
North Carolina facilities was reviewed for impairment and the Company recorded a non-cash
impairment charge of $5.5 million relating to the idle equipment.
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company negotiated with the Kinston tenant for
higher site services reimbursements and as a result reduced the reserve by a net $2.2 million with
an offset to restructuring recoveries.
Other (income) expense, net includes equity in income (losses) of unconsolidated affiliates,
interest expense, interest income, and bad debt expense. The decrease of $1.3 million or 24% in
net expense for the third quarter of fiscal year 2008 as compared to the same quarter in the prior
year was primarily attributable to decreased bad debt charges of $2.2 million, increased earnings
of unconsolidated affiliates of $0.4 million, decreased interest expense of $0.3 million offset by
decreased other miscellaneous income of $1.6 million. The primary decrease in other miscellaneous
net income relates to decreases of $1.4 million of net gains from the sale of assets, $0.5 million
in technology fee income, offset by increases of $0.1 million in other miscellaneous income and
$0.2 million in currency exchange translations.
As a result of the improved performance of the Company discussed above, income from continuing
operations before income taxes was $1.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2008 as
compared to a loss of $16.0 million recorded in the same period in the prior year.
The Companys income tax expense for the quarter ended March 23, 2008 resulted in an effective tax
rate of 95.4% compared to the quarter ended March 25, 2007 which resulted in an effective tax rate
of negative 13.1%. The primary differences between the Companys income tax expense and the U.S.
statutory rate for the quarter ended March 23, 2008 were losses from certain foreign operations
taxed at a lower effective rate, stock based compensation, and an increase in the valuation
allowance. The primary differences between the Companys income tax benefit and the U.S. statutory
rate for the quarter ended March 25, 2007 were losses from certain foreign operations taxed at a
lower effective rate, and an increase in the valuation allowance for capital losses.
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
increased $0.2 million in the quarter ended March 23, 2008, compared to a $2.9 million increase in
the quarter ended March 25, 2007. The increase in the valuation allowance for the quarter ended
March 23, 2008 resulted from 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 SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (FIN 48). There
was a $0.2 million cumulative adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption of FIN 48.
The loss from discontinued operations for the third quarter of fiscal years 2008 and income for the
third quarter of fiscal year 2007 was primarily due to wind up activities associated with the
Ireland facility and currency translation adjustments related to foreign discontinued operations.
Polyester Operations
Polyester unit volume decreased 18.1% for the quarter ended March 23, 2008, while average net
selling prices increased 9.5% compared to the quarter ended March 25, 2007. Net sales for the
polyester segment for the third quarter of fiscal year 2008 decreased $11.9 million or $8.6% as
compared to the same quarter in the prior year. Domestic sales of polyester decreased overall by
$16.5 million primarily due to the reduction in POY sales related to the closing of the Companys
Kinston facility in October 2007 and the reduction of textured polyester sales related to the
slowdown in automotive and home upholstery markets. The polyester price increases are attributable
to enriched mix and increases in raw material pricing. Sales in local currency for the Brazilian
operation decreased $1.0 million or 3.7% for the quarter ended March 23, 2008 compared to the same
quarter in the prior year due to a decrease in average selling prices of 2.1% and a decrease in
unit volumes of 1.7%. The movement in currency exchange rates from the fiscal year 2007 to the
fiscal year 2008 positively impacted the third 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.
In the third quarter of fiscal 2008, the polyester business was negatively impacted by the rising
cost of raw materials. Fiber costs increased by $3.3 million in the quarter ended March 2008
compared to the quarter ended March 2007. Although raw material pricing for a key ingredient came
down from its historic peak in January 2008, current ingredient prices are approximately 25% higher
than what is normally expected this time of the year. The combination of record high crude oil
prices and growing global demand for polyester, increased seasonal demand for polyethylene
terephthalate (PET) bottles which competes with polyester for raw materials, and high prices for
monoethylene glycol (MEG) globally all negatively impacted the polyester segments profits for
the third quarter of fiscal year 2008 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, converting costs were down in the March 23, 2008 quarter by $14.1 million due to the
closure of the Kinston facility and other consolidation efforts. As a result, gross profit for the
polyester segment in the third quarter of fiscal year 2008 decreased by $1.1 million to $9.5
million primarily due to lower volumes as a result of the reduction in sales and higher raw
material costs as discussed above.
SG&A expenses for the third quarter of fiscal year 2008 were $8.6 million compared to $9.0 million
in the same quarter in the prior year. Refer to the discussion of SG&A in the quarter overview
discussed above.
For restructuring charges, refer to the Corporate Restructuring section included in the Recent
Developments and Outlook section for further discussion.
Nylon Operations
Nylon unit volumes increased 12.3% in the third quarter of fiscal year 2008 compared to the prior
year quarter while average selling prices decreased 3.4% due to a shift in mix in sales to lower
valued products. Net sales for the nylon segment for the third quarter of fiscal year 2008
increased $3.5 million or 8.9% as compared to the same quarter in the prior year. This increase in
net sales was primarily due to the strong global demand driven by changes in fashion and style
preference which increased the demand for textured polyester products, primarily hosiery as well as
covered nylon products, primarily shape-wear.

Table of Contents
Although converting costs for the nylon segment slightly decreased by $0.3 million for the quarter
ended March 23, 2008 compared to the quarter ended March 25, 2007, fiber costs increased by $2.7
million due to higher volumes and product mix. As a result, gross profit for the nylon segment
increased by $1.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2008 to $3.9 million compared to
$2.8 million in the prior year third quarter.
SG&A expenses allocated to the nylon segment decreased by $0.7 million to $1.4 million for the
third quarter of fiscal year 2008 as compared to $2.1 million the prior year third quarter. 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 third quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company recognized $0.2
million in deferred compensation credits.
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 $0.3 million
during the quarter ended March 23, 2008 and $0.2 million of stock-based compensation during the
quarter ended March 25, 2007. The total estimated stock-based compensation charges over the
remaining vesting terms of the stock options equate to $2.3 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
$505.0 million to $523.7 million which was attributable to increases in both the polyester and
nylon segments for the current year-to-date period. Consolidated unit volume decreased 5.3% for
the current year-to-date period, while average net selling prices increased 9.0% 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.

Table of Contents
Consolidated gross profit from continuing operations was $32.7 million for the year-to-date period
ended March 23, 2008 as compared to $23.8 million for the year-to-date period ended March 25, 2007,
an increase of 37.4% and an increase of 1.6% as a percentage of net sales. The increase in gross
profit for the year-to-date period ended March 23, 2008 was primarily due to manufacturing
consolidations which improved overall efficiencies and to increased sales volumes in the nylon
segment.
Consolidated SG&A increased by $3.7 million to $36.5 million, or 11.2% for the year-to-date period
ended March 23, 2008 as compared to $32.8 million for the same period in the prior year and
increased 0.5% as a percentage of sales when compared to the same period in the prior year. The
increase in SG&A for the year-to-date period ended March 23, 2008 was primarily a result of $4.1
million in severance costs, $1.5 million in Dillon acquisition related amortization and service
fees, $1.2 million in deposit write-offs, and $0.6 million in professional fees, internal developer
fees, and USTF management fees, and $0.1 million in other miscellaneous expenses offset by
decreases of $2.2 million in stock-based compensation and deferred compensation charges, $1.2
million in salaries and fringes, and $0.4 million in depreciation expenses. Included in the above
increases in SG&A is an increase of $0.7 million in currency exchange differences related to the
Companys Brazilian operation.
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. In addition, 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 an additional $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 addition, the Company began negotiations with a
third party to sell Kinston. As a result of these negotiations, management concluded that the
carrying value of the real estate exceeded its fair value. Accordingly, the Company recorded an
additional $0.7 million in non-cash impairment charges.
During the year-to-date period ended March, 25, 2007, the Company performed an impairment review in
accordance with SFAS No. 144 on several of its facilities and the related equipment. As a result
the Company recorded $14.1 million in impairment charges related to its Mayodan, Madison, and
Reidsville, North Carolina facilities. In addition, a non-cash impairment charge of $2.0 million
related to abandoned equipment at the Companys Brazilian operation was recorded as well.
During the year-to-date period ended March 23, 2008, the Company recorded severance and
restructuring charges of $4.6 million compared to no charges for the same period in the prior year.
See Corporate Restructuring included in the Recent Developments and Outlook section of this
Item.

Other (income) expense, net includes equity in (earnings) losses of unconsolidated affiliates,
interest expense, interest income, and bad debt expense. The decrease of $8.7 million 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 $5.4 million,
increased other miscellaneous net income of $1.4 million, decreased bad debt expense of $2.7
million, offset by increased net interest
expense of $0.8 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 $0.3 million in gains on the sale of property, plant and equipment and
$0.3 million in other miscellaneous items offset by an increase of $0.6 million in currency losses
and a reduction of $0.2 million in technology fee income.
As a result of the changes in sales and expenses discussed above, the loss from continuing
operations before income taxes decreased in the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2008 to $28.2
million as compared to $46.3 million recorded in the same period in the prior year.
The Companys income tax benefit for the year-to-date period ended March 23, 2008 resulted in an
effective tax rate of negative 40.0% compared to the year-to-date period ended March 25, 2007 which
resulted in an effective tax rate of negative 9.2%. The primary differences between the Companys
income tax benefit and the U.S. statutory rate for the year-to-date period ended March 23, 2008
were losses from certain foreign operations taxed at a lower effective rate, state income tax
benefit, and a decrease in the valuation allowance. The primary differences between the Companys
income tax benefit and the U.S. statutory rate for the year-to-date period ended March 25, 2007
were losses from certain foreign operations taxed at a lower effective rate, and an increase in the
valuation allowance for capital losses.
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 $6.7 million in the year-to-date period ended March 23, 2008 compared to a $8.0 million
increase in the year-to-date period ended March 25, 2007. The net decrease in the valuation
allowance for the year-to-date period ended March 23, 2008 consisted of a $4.1 million decrease for
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 property, plant, and equipment, and a $0.9 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 resulting in a $0.2 million cumulative adjustment to
retained earnings.
The income 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 foreign discontinued operations.
Polyester Operations
Polyester unit volume decreased 7.1% for the year-to-date period ended March 23, 2008, while
average net selling prices increased 8.1% compared to the prior year-to-date period. Domestic POY
sales declined $28.4 million while sales of textured polyester increased $25.8 million when
comparing the March 2008 and 2007 year-to-date periods. These swings in sales volume are directly
related to the purchase and subsequent consolidation of the assets of Dillon Yarn Corporation in
the third quarter of the prior fiscal year and to the shutdown of Kinston in the second quarter of
the current fiscal year. Dillon Yarn Corporation was a customer of the Companys POY business
prior to the acquisition which contributed to the Companys external sales dollars and volume.
Once Dillons volume was incorporated into the Companys existing business, Dillons textured sales
became the new external sales for the Company and the POY internal sales were eliminated. Sales of
dyed product declined $14.7 million due to the loss of three major customers that filed for
bankruptcy protection. These declines were offset by the net increase in sales of draw warp and
beamed product of $3.9 million. Sales in local currency for the Brazilian operation decreased by
$4.0 million or 4.8% for the year-to-date period ended March 23, 2008 compared to the same period
in the prior
38
Table of Contents
year due to a decrease in average selling prices of 2.6% and a decrease in unit
volumes of 2.3%. 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 March 23, 2008 were $13.9 million higher than what sales would have been using the prior year
period currency rates.
Raw material as a percentage of sales has increased 2.1% over the prior year mainly due to changes
in the sales mix discussed above. Although high crude oil prices increased the price of
terephthalic acid (TPA) in the fiscal quarter ended March 23, 2008, high prices for MEG were the
main driver for the increase in raw material cost for the year-to-date period ended March 23, 2008
over the prior year comparable period.
Converting cost as a percentage of sales have declined 3.4% primarily due to shutting down Kinston
and the effect of changing from internally produced POY to outside sourced POY resulting in an
increase of $5.4 million in gross profit for the year-to-date period ended March 23, 2008.
SG&A expenses for the year-to-date period ended March 23, 2008 were $31.2 million compared to $26.0
million in the same period in the prior year. Refer to the discussion of SG&A in the year-to-date
overview discussed above.
As discussed above in the consolidated section, the Company recorded $7.3 million of non-cash asset
impairment charges of which $2.8 million is related to the polyester segment. In the prior year
period, the Company recognized a $6.9 million impairment charge relating to the polyester
divisions Mayodan facility and Brazilian operations.
For restructuring charges, refer to the Corporate Restructuring section included in the Recent
Developments and Outlook section for further discussion.
Nylon Operations
Nylon segment volume for the year-to-date period ended March 23, 2008 increased 12.4% when compared
to the same period in the prior year while average selling prices increased 0.4%. Net sales for
the nylon segment increased $15.1 million or 12.8%. The increase in net sales for the year-to-date
period ended March 23, 2008 as compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to
higher demand for hosiery and shape-wear products.
As a percentage of sales, raw material costs have increased 2.3% also due to the change in product
mix while converting costs have declined 4.4% as a result of the nylon consolidation into the
Companys facility in Madison, North Carolina. Gross profit for the nylon segment increased $3.5
million to $9.5 million in the year-to-date period ended March 23, 2008 compared to the same period
in the prior year. The increase in gross profit is attributable primarily to higher volumes and
improved manufacturing efficiencies.
SG&A expenses allocated to the nylon segment decreased $1.5 million to $5.3 million in the
year-to-date period ended March 23, 2008 compared to the same period in the prior year. Refer to
the discussion of SG&A in the year-to-date 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), and as a result, recognized $1.5 million in deferred
compensation charges for the year-to-date period ended March 23, 2007. 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 March
23, 2008, the Company recognized $0.2 million in deferred compensation charges offset by $0.2
million of market valuation adjustments.
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 $0.7 million
during the year-to-date period ended March 23, 2008 and $1.4 million of stock-based compensation
during the year-to-date period ended March 25, 2007. The total estimated stock-based compensation
charges over the remaining vesting terms of the stock options equate to $2.3 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 Used In Continuing Operations
Cash flows from operations improved primarily due to a $2.2 million decline of cash used in
operations for the first nine months of fiscal year 2008 when compared to the same period in the
prior fiscal year. The components of the decline in cash used in operations include increased cash
collections from customers of $27.4 million, decreased cash paid for taxes of $1.5 million, and
decreased cash paid for wages, salaries, and fringes of $1.1 million offset by increased cash
payments to suppliers of $12.2 million, decreased cash from other income items of $8.7 million,
increased cash paid for restructuring charges of $5.1 million, and increased cash paid for interest
expense of $1.8 million. Other income (expense) items include impairment charges, earnings
(losses) from equity affiliates, net of distributions, discontinued operations, 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 5.4% from $94.0 million at June 24, 2007 to $99.1 million at March
23, 2008. The primary reason for the increase is due to higher export sales volumes which have a
longer collection period than domestic sales. Days in sales outstanding increased from 46.3 days
at June 24, 2007 to 53.3 days at March 23, 2008 due to the customer receivable mix in outstanding
accounts receivable at March 23, 2008. Inventory decreased 2.6% from $132.3 million at June 24,
2007 to $128.9 million at March 23, 2008 due to the closure of the Kinston facility. Accounts
payable has also decreased $16.2 million or 26.2% due to the Kinston closure and the Companys new
supplier discount policy. The Company has also pre-purchased certain raw materials to help mitigate
pending price increases which offset some of the affects of the Kinston closure on inventories and
accounts payable.
In November 2007, the Company paid $10.9 million for the interest payment on its 2014 notes.
The Company ended the third quarter of fiscal year 2008 with working capital of $195.9 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 March 23, 2008.

Cash Provided By (Used In) Investing and Financing Activities
The Company provided $4.2 million from net investing activities and used $18.1 million in net
financing activities during the year-to-date period ended March 23, 2008. The primary cash
expenditures for investing and financing activities during the current period included $16.0
million for payment of long-term debt, $12.3 million for increased restricted cash, $7.3 million in capital expenditures, $2.9 million for
other investing and financing activities, offset by $15.8 million in proceeds from the sale of
capital assets and $8.8 million in proceeds from the sale of equity affiliate.
The Company paid off the remaining $1.3 million outstanding of its 2008 notes in February 2008.
The Company estimates its fiscal year 2008 capital expenditures will be approximately $10.0 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 March 23, 2008, the
Company had $16.4 million in restricted cash funds available for capital expenditures and
additional qualifying assets.
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.
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 March 23, 2008 was
5.25% 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. The Company primarily
borrows using the LIBOR fixed rate loans discussed below.
41
Table of Contents
As of March 23, 2008, the Company had three separate LIBOR rate revolving loans outstanding under
the credit facility; a $5.0 million, 4.87%, thirty day loan, a $5.0 million, 4.83% thirty day loan,
and a $10.0 million, 4.81%, thirty 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 March 23, 2008, under the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company had remaining
availability of $75.0 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 March 23, 2008, the Company was in compliance with the
loan and note 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 March 23, 2008 and June 24, 2007, was approximately $147.3 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 March 23, 2008
and June 24, 2007, the Company had $16.4 million and $4.0 million, respectively, of restricted
funds available to purchase additional qualifying assets.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 requiring enhancements to the SFAS No.133
disclosure requirements for derivative and hedging activities. The objective of the enhanced
disclosure requirement is to provide the user of financial statements with a clearer understanding
of how the entity uses derivative instruments; how derivatives are accounted for; and how
derivatives affect an entitys financial position, cash flows and performance. The statement
applies to all derivative and hedging instruments. SFAS No.161 is effective for all fiscal years
and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is evaluating its current
disclosures of derivative and hedging instruments and the impact SFAS No.161 will have on its
future disclosures.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard SFAS No.141R,
Business Combinations-Revised. This new standard replaces SFAS No.141 Business Combinations.
SFAS No.141R requires that the acquisition method of accounting, instead of the purchase method, be
applied to all business combinations and that an acquirer is 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
42
Table of Contents
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 No.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 No.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 No.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 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. The Company continues to
evaluate the provisions of SFAS No. 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 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 December 14, 2007, the FASB issued
proposed Staff Position (FSP) FAS 157-b which would delay 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 proposed
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 will adopt SFAS No.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 No.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.

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; |
||
| 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; |
||
| employee relations; |
||
| 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.
44
Table of Contents
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 March 2008 and
July 2008, respectively.
The dollar equivalent of these forward currency contracts and their related fair values are
detailed below (amounts in thousands):

Foreign currency purchase contracts: |

For the quarters ended March 23, 2008 and March 25, 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 a pre-tax income of $0.2 million and
pre-tax loss of $0.1 million, respectively. For the year-to-date periods ended March 23, 2008 and
March 25, 2007, the total impact of foreign currency related items was a pre-tax loss of $0.3
million and a pre-tax income 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 March 23, 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 24,
2007. 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.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Items 2(a) and (b) are not applicable.

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 June 24, 2007, 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.
