1. | Basis of Presentation |
The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of Unifi, Inc. (the Company) at June 28, 2009 has
been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the
information and footnotes required by United States (U.S.) generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) for complete financial statements. Except as noted with respect to the
balance sheet at June 28, 2009, this information is unaudited and reflects all adjustments which
are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position at
September 27, 2009, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended September
27, 2009 and September 28, 2008. 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 28, 2009. 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 74 to 80 of
the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2009. |

5. | Intangible Assets, Net |
Other intangible assets subject to amortization consisted of customer relationships of $22.0
million and non-compete agreements of $4.0 million which were entered in connection with an
asset acquisition consummated in fiscal year 2007. The customer list is being amortized in a
manner which reflects the expected economic benefit that will be received over its thirteen year
life and the non-compete agreement is being amortized using the straight-line method over seven
years. There are no residual values related to these intangible assets. Accumulated
amortization at September 27, 2009 and June 28, 2009 for these intangible assets was $9.5
million and $8.7 million, respectively. These intangible assets relate to the polyester
segment. |
In addition, the Company allocated $0.5 million to customer relationships arising from a
transaction that closed in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. This customer list is being
amortized using the straight-line method over a period of one and a half years. Accumulated
amortization at September 27, 2009 and June 28, 2009 was $0.3 million and $0.2 million,
respectively. These intangible assets relate to the polyester segment. |
The following table represents the expected intangible asset amortization for the next five
fiscal years (amounts in thousands): |

6. | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 168 The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the
Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of SFAS 162, The
Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The statement was effective for all
financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. On
June 30, 2009 the FASB issued its first Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2009-01 Topic
105 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles amendments based on No. 168 the FASB Accounting
Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 105-10 establishes a single source of GAAP which is to
be applied by nongovernmental entities. All guidance contained in the ASC carries an equal
level of authority; however there are standards that will remain authoritative until such time
that each is integrated into the ASC. The Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) also issues rules and interpretive releases that are also sources of
authoritative GAAP |
7
for publicly traded registrants. The ASC superseded all existing non-SEC
accounting and reporting standards. All non-grandfathered accounting literature not included in
the ASC will be considered non-authoritative. |
||
Effective June 29, 2009, the Company adopted ASC 805-20, Business Combinations
Identifiable Assets, Liabilities and Any Non-Controlling Interest (ASC 805-20). ASC 805-20
amends and clarifies ASC 805 which 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 guidance 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.
The adoption of this guidance had no material effect on the Companys financial statements. |
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements,
(ASU 2009-13) and ASU No. 2009-14, Certain Arrangements That Include Software Elements,
(ASU 2009-14). ASU 2009-13 requires entities to allocate revenues in the absence of
vendor-specific objective evidence or third party evidence of selling price for deliverables
using a selling price hierarchy associated with the relative selling price method. ASU 2009-14
removes tangible products from the scope of software revenue guidance and provides guidance on
determining whether software deliverables in an arrangement that includes a tangible product are
covered by the scope of the software revenue guidance. ASU 2009-13 and ASU 2009-14 should be
applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in
fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company
does not expect adoption of ASU 2009-13 or ASU 2009-14 to have a material impact on the
Companys consolidated results of operations or financial condition. |
7. | Comprehensive Income (Loss) |
Comprehensive income amounted to $10.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2010
compared to comprehensive loss of $16.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2009.
Comprehensive income was comprised of net income of $2.5 million and positive cumulative
translation adjustments of $8.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2010.
Comparatively, comprehensive losses for the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year were
derived from net loss of $0.7 million and negative cumulative translation adjustments of $15.8
million. The Company does not provide income taxes on the impact of currency translations as
earnings from foreign subsidiaries are deemed to be permanently invested. |

PAL receives benefits under the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (2008 U.S.
Farm Bill) which extended the existing upland cotton and extra long staple cotton programs,
including economic adjustment assistance provisions for ten years. Beginning August 1, 2008,
the program provides textile mills a subsidy of four cents per pound on eligible upland cotton
consumed during the first four years and three cents per pound for the last six years. The
economic assistance received under this program must be used to acquire, construct, install,
modernize, develop, convert or expand land, plant, buildings, equipment, or machinery. Capital
expenditures must be directly attributable to the purpose of manufacturing upland cotton into
eligible cotton products in the U.S. The recipients have the marketing year from August 1 to
July 31, plus eighteen months to make the capital expenditures. In the period when both
criteria have been met; eligible upland cotton has been consumed, and qualifying capital
expenditures under the program have been made, the economic assistance is recognized as
reductions to cost of sales. PAL received economic assistance under the program of $14.0
million and $4.0 million during the eleven months ended June 28, 2009 and the quarter ended
September 27, 2009, respectively. Based on the previously discussed accounting treatment, PAL
recognized reductions to cost of sales of $9.7 million and $0.4 million for the same respective
periods. Accordingly as of September 27, 2009, $7.9 million of the received economic
assistance remains as deferred revenue to be recognized as future qualifying capital
expenditures are made. |
On October 19, 2009 PAL notified the Company that $8.2 million of the $9.7 million in
capital expenditures recognized for fiscal 2009 had been disqualified by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture. PAL has appealed the decision with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, but it is
unknown to the Company as to when a final ruling will be made. In the event that PALs appeal
is unsuccessful, PAL may be required to adjust prior period earnings, but PAL expects there
will be sufficient future qualifying capital expenditures to recapture any benefit that may
remain disqualified after the appeal process has been completed. |
In August 2005, the Company formed YUFI, a 50/50 joint venture with Sinopec Yizheng Chemical
Fiber Co., Ltd, (YCFC), to manufacture process and market polyester filament yarn in YCFCs
facilities in Yizheng, Jiangsu Province, Peoples Republic of China (China). During fiscal
year 2008, the Companys management explored strategic options with its joint venture partner in
China with the ultimate goal of determining if there was a viable path to profitability for
YUFI. The Companys management concluded that although YUFI had successfully grown its position
in high value and premier value-added (PVA) products, commodity sales would continue to be a
large and unprofitable portion of the joint ventures business. In addition, the Company
believed YUFI had focused too much attention and energy on non-value added issues, distracting
management from its primary PVA objectives. Based on these conclusions, the Company decided to
exit the joint venture and on July 30, 2008, the Company announced that it had reached a
proposed agreement to sell its 50% interest in YUFI to its partner for $10.0 million. |
9
As a result of the agreement with YCFC, the Company initiated a review of the carrying value of
its investment in YUFI and determined that the carrying value of its investment in YUFI exceeded
its fair value. Accordingly, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $6.4 million
in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008. |
The Company expected to close the transaction in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009 pending
negotiation and execution of definitive agreements and Chinese regulatory approvals. The
agreement provided for YCFC to immediately take over operating control of YUFI, regardless of
the timing of the final approvals and closure of the equity sale transaction. During the first
quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company gave up one of its senior staff appointees and YCFC
appointed its own designee as General Manager of YUFI, who assumed full responsibility for the
operating activities of YUFI at that time. As a result, the Company lost its ability to
influence the operations of YUFI and therefore the Company ceased recording its share of losses
commencing in the same quarter. |
In December 2008, the Company renegotiated the proposed agreement to sell its interest in YUFI
to YCFC for $9.0 million and recorded an additional impairment charge of $1.5 million, which
included approximately $0.5 million related to certain disputed accounts receivable and $1.0
million related to the fair value of its investment, as determined by the re-negotiated equity
interest sales price, which was lower than carrying value. |
On March 30, 2009, the Company closed on the sale and received $9.0 million in proceeds related
to its investment in YUFI. The Company continues to service customers in Asia through Unifi
Textiles Suzhou Co., Ltd. (UTSC), a wholly-owned subsidiary based in Suzhou, China, that is
focused on the development, sales and service of PVA yarns. |
On September 30, 2009, the Company completed an agreement with the Companys partner, Nilit Ltd.
(Nilit), to shift one-third of the spinning assets of UNF, to a newly formed joint venture,
UNF America, LLC, for the purpose of producing nylon POY in Nilits Martinsville, Virginia
plant. This new configuration will allow UNF America, LLC to produce Berry Amendment and North
American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) compliant yarns. The new agreement will shorten the
Companys supply chain resulting in improvements in the working capital, flexibility and the
financial results of its nylon joint ventures. |
9. | Income Taxes |
The Companys income tax provision for the quarter ended September 27, 2009 resulted in tax
expense at an effective rate of 50.5% compared to the quarter ended September 28, 2008 which
resulted in a tax expense at an effective rate of 143.5%. The difference between the Companys
income tax expense and the U.S. statutory rate for the quarter ended September 27, 2009 was
primarily due to losses in the U.S. and other jurisdictions for which no tax benefit could be
recognized while operating profit was generated in other taxable jurisdictions. The difference
between the Companys income tax benefit and the U.S. statutory rate for the quarter ended
September 28, 2008 was also due to losses in the U.S. and other jurisdictions for which no tax
benefit could be recognized. |
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 valuation
allowance on the Companys net domestic deferred tax assets is reviewed quarterly and will be
maintained until sufficient positive evidence exists to support the reversal of the valuation
allowance. In addition, until such time that the Company determines it is more likely than not
that it will generate sufficient taxable income to realize its deferred tax assets, income tax
benefits associated with future period losses will be fully reserved. The valuation allowance
increased $2.2 million in the quarter ended September 27, 2009 compared to a $0.6 million
increase in the quarter ended September 28, 2008. |
10
The Company believes it is reasonably possible unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by
approximately $1.2 million by the end of fiscal year 2010 as a result of expiring tax credit
carry forwards. |
The Company has elected to classify interest and penalties recognized as income tax expense.
The Company did not accrue interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions during
fiscal year 2009 or during the quarter ended September 27, 2009. |
The Company is subject to income tax examinations for U.S. federal income taxes for fiscal years
2004 through 2009, for non-U.S. income taxes for tax years 2001 through 2009, and for state and
local income taxes for fiscal years 2001 through 2009. |
10. | Stock-Based Compensation |
On October 29, 2008, the shareholders of the Company approved the 2008 Unifi, Inc. Long-Term
Incentive Plan (2008 Long-Term Incentive Plan). The 2008 Long-Term Incentive Plan authorized
the issuance of up to 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the grant or exercise of
stock options, including Incentive Stock Options (ISO), Non-Qualified Stock Options (NQSO)
and restricted stock, but not more than 3,000,000 shares may be issued as restricted stock.
Option awards are granted with an exercise price not less than the market price of the Companys
stock at the date of grant. |
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Compensation Committee (Committee) of the
Board of Directors (Board) authorized the issuance of 280,000 stock options from the 2008
Long-Term Incentive Plan to certain key employees. The stock options 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
exercise price is $4.16 per share which is equal to the market price of the Companys stock on
the grant date. The Company used a Monte Carlo stock option model to estimate the fair value of
$2.49 per share and the derived vesting period of 1.2 years. |
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Committee authorized the issuance of 1,700,000
stock options from the 2008 Long-Term Incentive Plan to certain key employees and certain
members of the Board. The stock options vest ratably over a three year period and have 10-year
contractual terms. The Company used the Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair values of the
options granted. The following table provides detail of the number of options granted during
the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 and the related assumptions used in the valuation of these
awards: |
Expected | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

The Company incurred $0.6 million and $0.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal years 2010 and
2009 respectively, in stock-based compensation expense which was recorded as selling, general
and administrative (SG&A) expenses with the offset to capital in excess of par value. |
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company issued 1,268,300 shares of common
stock as a result of the exercise of stock options. There were no options exercised during the
first quarter of fiscal year 2010. |
11
11. | Assets Held for Sale |
The Company has assets held for sale related to the consolidation of its polyester manufacturing
capacity that are comprised of the remaining assets and structures in Kinston, North Carolina
(Kinston). |
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Company entered into a contract to sell
certain of the assets held for sale which is scheduled to close during the second quarter of
fiscal year 2010. Based on the contract price, the Company recorded $0.1 million in non-cash
impairment charges in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010. |
The following table summarizes by category assets held for sale (amounts in thousands): |

12. | Severance and Restructuring Charges |
Severance |
The Company recorded severance expense of $2.4 million for its former President and Chief
Executive Officer (CEO) during the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 and $1.7 million of
severance expense related to its former Chief Financial Officer (CFO) during the second
quarter of fiscal year 2008. |
In the third quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company reorganized, reducing its workforce due to
the economic downturn. Approximately 200 salaried and wage employees were affected by this
reorganization related to the Companys efforts to reduce costs. As a result, the Company
recorded $0.3 million in severance charges related to certain allocated salaried corporate and
manufacturing support staff. |
The table below summarizes changes to the accrued severance and accrued restructuring accounts
for the quarter ended September 27, 2009 (amounts in thousands): |

(1) | As of June 28, 2009, the Company classified $0.3 million of executive severance as long-term. |
13. | Discontinued Operations |
The manufacturing facilities in Ireland ceased operations on October 31, 2004. On March 31,
2009, the Company completed the final accounting for the closure of the subsidiary and is in the
process of filing the appropriate dissolution papers with the Irish government. For the quarter
ended September 28, 2008, the Company recorded losses of $0.1 million related to the closure. |
12
14. | Derivatives and Fair Value Measurements |
The Company accounts for derivative contracts and hedging activities at fair value. If the
derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of
derivatives are either offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets,
liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or are recorded in other comprehensive income
until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivatives
change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings. The Company does not enter into
derivative financial instruments for trading purposes nor is it a party to any leveraged
financial instruments. |
||
The Company conducts its business in various foreign currencies. As a result, it is
subject to the transaction exposure that arises from foreign exchange rate movements between the
dates that foreign currency transactions are recorded and the dates they are consummated. The
Company utilizes some natural hedging to mitigate these transaction exposures. The Company
primarily enters into foreign currency forward contracts for the purchase and sale of European,
North American and Brazilian currencies to use as economic hedges against balance sheet and
income statement currency exposures. These contracts are principally entered into for the
purchase of inventory and equipment and the sale of Company products into export markets.
Counter-parties for these instruments are major financial institutions. |
Currency forward contracts are used to hedge exposure for sales in foreign currencies based on
specific sales made to customers. Generally, 60-75% of the sales value of these orders is
covered by forward contracts. Maturity dates of the forward contracts are intended to match
anticipated receivable collections. The Company marks the forward contracts to market at month
end and any realized and unrealized gains or losses are recorded as other operating (income)
expense. The Company also enters currency forward contracts for committed inventory purchases
made by its Brazilian subsidiary. Generally 5% of these inventory purchases are covered by
forward contracts although 100% of the cost may be covered by individual contracts in certain
instances. The latest maturity for all outstanding purchase and sales foreign currency forward
contracts is November 2009. |
Under the ASC there is now a common definition of fair value to be used and a hierarchy for fair
value measurements based on the type of inputs that are used to value the assets or liabilities
at fair value. |
||
The levels of the fair value hierarchy are: |
| Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement
date, |
||
| Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, or |
||
| Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Unobservable
inputs shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not
available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market
activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. |
13
The dollar equivalent of these forward currency contracts and their related fair values are detailed below (amounts in thousands): |

$ | 6 | $ | (46 | ) | |||
The fair values of the foreign exchange forward contracts at the respective quarter-end dates are
based on discounted quarter-end forward currency rates. The total impact of foreign currency
related items that are reported on the line item other operating (income) expense, net in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations, including transactions that were hedged and those that
were not hedged, was a pre-tax loss of $13 thousand for the quarter ended September 27, 2009 and
a pre-tax gain of $0.3 million for the quarter ended September 28, 2008. |
The Company calculates the fair values of its 2014 notes based on the traded price of
the notes on the latest trade date prior to its period end. These are considered Level 1 inputs
in the fair value hierarchy. The following table shows the fair values at September 27, 2009 and
June 28, 2009 which were calculated based on the latest trade price on September 15, 2009 and
June 19, 2009, respectively (amounts in thousands): |

15. | Contingencies |
On September 30, 2004, the Company completed its acquisition of the polyester filament
manufacturing assets located at Kinston from INVISTA S.a.r.l. (INVISTA). The land for the
Kinston site was leased pursuant to a 99 year ground lease (Ground Lease) with E.I. DuPont de
Nemours (DuPont). Since 1993, DuPont has been investigating and cleaning up the Kinston site
under the supervision of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the North Carolina
Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) pursuant to the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act Corrective Action program. The Corrective Action program requires DuPont to
identify all potential areas of environmental concern (AOCs), assess the extent of containment
at the identified AOCs and clean it up to comply with applicable regulatory standards.
Effective March 20, 2008, the Company entered into a Lease Termination Agreement associated with
conveyance of certain assets at Kinston to DuPont. This agreement terminated the Ground Lease
and relieved the Company of any future responsibility for environmental remediation, other than
participation with DuPont, if so called upon, with regard to the Companys period of operation
of the Kinston site. However, the Company continues to own a satellite service facility
acquired in the INVISTA transaction that has contamination from DuPonts operations and is
monitored by DENR. This site has been remediated by DuPont and DuPont has received authority
from DENR to discontinue remediation, other than natural attenuation. DuPonts duty to monitor
and report to DENR will be transferred to the Company in the future, at which time DuPont must
pay the Company for seven years of monitoring and reporting costs and the Company will assume
responsibility for any future remediation and |
14
monitoring of the site. At this time, the Company has no basis to determine if and when it will
have any responsibility or obligation with respect to the AOCs or the extent of any potential
liability for the same. |
16. | Related Party Transaction |
In fiscal 2007, the Company purchased the polyester and nylon texturing operations of Dillon
Yarn Company (Dillon) (the Transaction). In connection with the Transaction the Company and Dillon entered into a
Sales and Services Agreement for a term of two years from January 1, 2007, pursuant to which the
Company agreed to pay Dillon for certain sales and transitional services to be provided by
Dillons sales staff and executive management. On December 1, 2008, the Company entered into an
agreement to extend the polyester services portion of the Sales and Service Agreement for a term
of one year effective January 1, 2009 pursuant to which the Company will pay Dillon an aggregate
amount of $1.7 million. The Company recorded $0.4 million and $0.3 million of SG&A expense for
the first quarter of fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively, related to this contract and the
related amendment. Mr. Stephen Wener is the President and CEO of Dillon. Mr. Wener has been a
member of the Companys Board since May 24, 2007. The terms of the Companys Sales and Service
Agreement with Dillon are, in managements opinion, no less favorable than the Company would
have been able to negotiate with an independent third party for similar services. |

For purposes of internal management reporting, segment operating profit (loss) represents
segment net sales less cost of sales, segment restructuring charges, segment impairments of
long-lived assets, goodwill impairments, and allocated SG&A expenses. Certain non-segment
manufacturing and unallocated SG&A costs are allocated to the operating segments based on
activity drivers relevant to the respective costs. This allocation methodology is updated as
part of the annual budgeting process. |
The primary differences between the segmented financial information of the operating segments,
as reported to management and the Companys consolidated reporting relate to the provision for
bad debts, other operating (income) expense, net and equity in earnings of unconsolidated
affiliates and related impairments. |
Segment operating profit (loss) excluded the provision for bad debts of $0.6 million for both
first quarter periods, respectively. |
The total assets for the polyester segment increased from $314.6 million at June 28, 2009 to
$325.2 million at September 27, 2009 primarily due to increases in cash, inventory, and accounts
receivable of $7.0 million, $6.3 million, and $0.5 million, respectively. These increases were
offset by decreases in other non-current assets, other current assets, property, plant, and
equipment, short-term restricted cash, and long-term restricted cash, of $0.7 million, $0.7
million, $0.7 million, $0.6 million, and $0.5 million, respectively. The total assets for the
nylon segment increased from $75.0 million at June 28, 2009 to $78.8 million at September 27,
2009 due primarily to increases in inventory and accounts receivable of $3.7 million and $0.7
million, respectively. These increases were offset by decreases in property, plant, and
equipment of $0.6 million. |

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following is Managements discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have
affected Unifi, Inc.s (the Companys) operations and material changes in financial condition
during the periods included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Business Overview
The Company is a diversified producer and processor of multi-filament polyester and nylon yarns,
including specialty yarns with enhanced performance characteristics. The Company adds value to the
supply chain and enhances consumer demand for its products through the development and introduction
of branded yarns that provide unique performance, comfort and aesthetic advantages. The Company
manufactures partially oriented, textured, dyed, twisted and beamed polyester yarns as well as
textured nylon and nylon covered spandex products. The Company sells its products to other yarn
manufacturers, knitters and weavers that produce fabric for the apparel, hosiery, furnishings,
automotive, industrial and other end-use markets. The Company maintains one of the industrys most
comprehensive product offerings and emphasizes quality, style and performance in all of its
products.
Polyester Segment. The polyester segment manufactures partially oriented, textured, dyed, twisted
and beamed yarns with sales to other yarn manufacturers, knitters and weavers that produce fabrics
for the apparel, automotive, hosiery, furnishings, industrial and other end-use markets. The
polyester segment primarily manufactures its products in Brazil and the United States (U.S.)
which has the Companys largest operations. The polyester segment also includes a newly formed
subsidiary in China focused on the sale and promotion of the Companys specialty and premier
value-added (PVA) products in the Asian textile market, primarily within China.
Nylon Segment. The nylon segment manufactures textured nylon and covered spandex products
with sales to other yarn manufacturers, knitters and weavers that produce fabrics for the apparel,
hosiery, sock and other end-use markets. The nylon segment consists of operations in Colombia and
the U.S. which has the Companys largest operations.
Recent Developments and Outlook
Although
there have been modest month-over-month improvements in retail sales
of apparel, year-over-year U.S. apparel retail sales are down 6% and home furnishing retail sales are down 12%. Brand
name manufacturers and retailers are reluctant to anticipate 2009 consumer holiday spending and as
a result, retailers are delaying new product development and are managing apparel inventories at
lower levels by ordering conservatively. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, the
Companys revenues declined 15% compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, however the rate
of decline was much slower than the rate the Company experienced in each of its previous three
quarters. The Companys revenues declined by 31%, 30% and 26% for the second, third and fourth
quarters of the prior fiscal year as compared to the same fiscal 2008 quarters as a result of the
global economic downturn. However, as the third fiscal 2009 quarter progressed into the fourth
fiscal 2009 quarter, the Company experienced sales volume improvements in certain segments as
retail sales improved slightly and the effects of the apparel inventory de-stocking began to
subside. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Companys consolidated sales volumes
improved 2.9% over the trailing fourth fiscal 2009 quarter while sales into the apparel market
trended at 7% to 10% below pre-recession levels. On-going sales in both the automotive and home
furnishings segments remain well below historic levels, though both are showing recent signs of
improvement. The Companys sales into the automotive segment were positively impacted by the U.S.
governments Cash for Clunkers stimulus program. Nylon sales volumes declined 7.6% as compared
to the fourth fiscal 2009 quarter due to reduced textured nylon demand in the socks and hosiery
segments. The Company expects its overall North American sales to continue a slow recovery through
the next several quarters as the U.S. economy gradually improves.
24
Retailers have reacted to the global economic downturn by focusing more on basic, lower value
offerings, slowing the adoption cycle of some of the Companys PVA products. This has resulted in
decreases in the Companys PVA sales volume, though at a slightly lower rate than the Companys
overall volumes. The Company remains committed to its PVA growth strategy and will continue to
invest in the development and marketing of PVA products. The Company believes in the principles of
sustainability and environmental responsibility, and its portfolio of Repreve® 100% recycled
products, will provide it with a distinct competitive advantage in this important and growing area.
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Companys Brazilian operations volumes were flat as
compared to the same quarter in the prior year however it is reporting improved results due to
improved conversion margins and decreased manufacturing costs. The Brazilian subsidiarys
operations have recovered after two slow quarters, driven by significant gain in market share and a
more timely economic recovery as compared to the U.S. Accordingly, the Company expects continued
growth in revenues from its Brazilian operations over the next several quarters.
Despite the decline in revenues, the Company is reporting improved results as compared to the same
quarter in the prior year. Consolidated gross profit increased $6.0 million or 45% as compared to
the prior year quarter. The Companys gross profit was positively impacted by fundamental
improvements made in the Companys operating costs combined with
lower raw material costs that were
well below the historic high costs the Company experienced in the same quarter in the prior year.
The Companys newly formed China subsidiary, UTSC, is operating on plan and is expected to grow
with several new programs nearing adoption. UTSC recently introduced Repreve® polyester staple
fiber in China, adding to the most extensive array of recycled fibers in the Asian markets.
On September 30, 2009 the Company completed an agreement with the Companys partner, Nilit to shift
one-third of the spinning assets of UNF, to its newly formed joint venture, UNF America, LLC, for
the purpose of producing nylon partially oriented yarn (POY) in Nilits Martinsville, Virginia
plant. This new configuration will allow UNF America, LLC to produce Berry Amendment and North
American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) compliant yarns. The new agreement will shorten the
Companys supply chain resulting in improvements in the working capital, flexibility and the
financial results of its nylon joint ventures.
Parkdale America, LLC (PAL) entered into an agreement for PAL to buy most of the spun cotton yarn
manufacturing operations from Hanesbrands, Inc (HBI). In addition, PAL will supply a
substantial amount of HBIs yarn demand in the western hemisphere. Under the agreement, PAL will
take over the operations of three HBI manufacturing plants, and will supply HBI from those
facilities and other existing U.S. production plants. While the funding required to finance this
purchase and the required working capital will likely limit the Companys ability to receive large
dividends from PAL, the Company does expect this agreement will substantially improve the financial
performance of the joint venture and ultimately the fair value of its investment.
The fundamental advantages of the U.S.-Dominican Republic-Central American Free Trade Agreement
(CAFTA), which are its competitive costs and shorter, more flexible supply chain, remain
attractive to apparel manufacturers. The Company believes in the long-term growth of the region in
spite of the recent decline in the regions market share of man-made fiber apparel. This decline
was not unexpected, considering the recession driven trend to lower cost apparel. Currently,
approximately 8% of the Companys U.S. production is shipped directly to fabric customers in the
CAFTA region. After assessing several options, the Company has
decided to establish a wholly-owned
base of operations in Central America. These operations will provide the
Companys Central American fabric customers order flexibility due to a more just-in-time product
delivery. During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company
established its presence in the region by
entering into an agreement with a warehouse in El Salvador
25
to house and ship U.S. product to the
Companys regional customers and it expects its wholly-owned operations to be running within the
next six to nine months.
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; |
| adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (adjusted
EBITDA), which the Company defines as pre-tax income before interest expense,
depreciation and amortization expense and loss or income from discontinued operations,
adjusted to exclude equity in earnings and losses of unconsolidated affiliates, write
down of long-lived assets and unconsolidated affiliate, non-cash compensation expense
net of distributions, gains and losses on sales of property, plant and equipment,
currency and hedging gains and losses, asset consolidation and optimization expense,
goodwill impairment, gain and loss on extinguishment of debt, restructuring charges and
recoveries, and Kinston shutdown costs, as revised from time to time, which the Company
believes is a supplemental measure of its performance and ability to service debt; and |
| adjusted working capital (accounts receivable plus inventory less accounts payable and accruals) as a percentage of sales, which is an indicator of the Companys production efficiency and ability to manage its inventory and receivables. |
Corporate Restructuring
Severance
The Company recorded severance expense of $2.4 million for its former President and Chief Executive
Officer (CEO) during the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 and $1.7 million of severance expense
related to its former Chief Financial Officer (CFO) during the second quarter of fiscal year
2008.
In the third quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company reorganized, reducing its workforce due to
the economic downturn. Approximately 200 salaried and wage employees were affected by this
reorganization related to the Companys efforts to reduce costs. As a result, the Company recorded
$0.3 million in severance charges related to certain allocated salaried corporate and manufacturing
support staff.
The table below summarizes changes to the accrued severance and accrued restructuring accounts for
the quarter ended September 27, 2009 (amounts in thousands):

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 10 manufacturing facilities primarily located in central and western North Carolina and in
South Carolina. For the quarters ended September 27, 2009 and September 28, 2008 the Company
recognized net equity earnings of $2.4 million and $3.5 million, respectively. The Company
received distributions from PAL of $1.6 million and $2.1 million for the first quarters of fiscal
years 2010 and 2009, respectively.
PAL receives benefits under the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (2008 U.S.
Farm Bill) which extended the existing upland cotton and extra long staple cotton programs,
including economic adjustment assistance provisions for ten years. Beginning August 1, 2008,
the program provides textile mills a subsidy of four cents per pound on eligible upland cotton
consumed during the first four years and three cents per pound for the last six years. The
economic assistance received under this program must be used to acquire, construct, install,
modernize, develop, convert or expand land, plant, buildings, equipment, or machinery. Capital
expenditures must be directly attributable to the purpose of manufacturing upland cotton into
eligible cotton products in the U.S. The recipients have the marketing year from August 1 to
July 31, plus eighteen months to make the capital expenditures. In the period when both
criteria have been met; eligible upland cotton has been consumed, and qualifying capital
expenditures under the program have been made, the economic assistance is recognized as
reductions to cost of sales. PAL received economic assistance under the program of $14.0
million and $4.0 million during the eleven months ended June 28, 2009 and the quarter ended
September 27, 2009, respectively. Based on the previously discussed accounting treatment, PAL
recognized reductions to cost of sales of $9.7 million and $0.4 million for the same respective
periods. Accordingly as of September 27, 2009, $7.9 million of the received economic
assistance remains as deferred revenue to be recognized as future qualifying capital
expenditures are made.
27
On October 19, 2009 PAL notified the Company that $8.2 million of the $9.7 million in
capital expenditures recognized for fiscal 2009 had been disqualified by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture. PAL has appealed the decision with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, but it is
unknown to the Company as to when a final ruling will be made. In the event that PALs appeal
is unsuccessful, PAL may be required to adjust prior period earnings, but PAL expects there
will be sufficient future qualifying capital expenditures to recapture any benefit that may
remain disqualified after the appeal process has been completed.
In August 2005, the Company formed YUFI, a 50/50 joint venture with Sinopec Yizheng Chemical Fiber
Co., Ltd, (YCFC), to manufacture process and market polyester filament yarn in YCFCs facilities
in Yizheng, Jiangsu Province, Peoples Republic of China (China). During fiscal year 2008, the
Companys management explored strategic options with its joint venture partner in China with the
ultimate goal of determining if there was a viable path to profitability for YUFI. On July 30,
2008, the Company announced that it had reached a proposed agreement to sell its 50% interest in
YUFI to its partner for $10.0 million.
In December 2008, the Company renegotiated the proposed agreement to sell its interest in YUFI to
YCFC for $9.0 million and in March 2009 the sale closed. The Company continues to service
customers in Asia through Unifi Textiles Suzhou Co., Ltd. (UTSC), a wholly-owned subsidiary based
in Suzhou, China, that is focused on the development, sales and service of PVA yarns.
In September 2000, the Company and Nilit Ltd (Nilit) formed UNF, a 50/50 joint venture to produce
nylon POY at Nilits manufacturing facility in Migdal Ha-Emek, Israel which is the Companys
primary source of nylon POY for its texturing operations. For the quarters ended September 27,
2009 and September 28, 2008, the Company recognized net equity losses of $0.3 million and net
income of $32 thousand, respectively.
On September 30, 2009, the Company completed an agreement with the Companys partner, Nilit, to
shift one-third of the spinning assets of UNF, to its newly formed joint venture, UNF America, LLC,
for the purpose of producing nylon POY in Nilits Martinsville, Virginia plant. This new
configuration will allow UNF America, LLC to produce Berry Amendment and North American Free Trade
Agreement (NAFTA) compliant yarns. The new agreement will shorten the Companys supply chain
resulting in improvements in the working capital, flexibility and the financial results of its
nylon joint ventures.

As reflected in the tables above, the Company recognized a $5.0 million profit from continuing
operations before income taxes which was a $3.7 million increase over the prior year. The increase
in income from continuing operations was primarily attributable to increased conversion margins in
the domestic nylon operations, decreased converting costs in the domestic polyester operations and
decreased converting costs in the Brazilian operations.
29
Consolidated net sales from continuing operations decreased $26.2 million, or 15.5% for the first
quarter of fiscal year 2010 compared to the prior year first quarter. Consolidated unit sales
volumes decreased by 5.1% for the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 primarily due to the global
downturn that began the second quarter of the prior fiscal year and impacted all supply chains and
markets. Compared to the prior year quarter, polyester and nylon segment volumes decreased 2.5%
and 22.4%, respectively. The weighted-average selling price on a consolidated basis decreased by
10.4% for the same period. Refer to the segment operations under the captions Polyester
Operations and Nylon Operations for a further discussion of each segments operating results.
Consolidated gross profit from continuing operations increased by $6.0 million to $19.4 million for
the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 as compared to the prior year first quarter. This increase
in gross profit was primarily attributable to improved per unit manufacturing costs for the
polyester segment. Manufacturing costs on a per unit basis decreased 17.8% for the polyester
segment as the Company aligned operational costs with lower sales volumes and benefited from
increased Brazilian incentives. The nylon segment also experienced an improvement in gross profit
due to higher conversion margins of 13.4% on a per unit basis attributable to mix enrichment and
the resulting higher average selling prices. Refer to the segment operations under the captions
Polyester Operations and Nylon Operations for a further discussion of each segments operating
results.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
Consolidated selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased by $0.6 million, or
5.9%, during the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 as compared to the same prior year quarter. The
increase in SG&A in the first quarter was primarily a result of increases of $0.5 million in
non-cash deferred compensation costs, $0.2 million in sales and service fees, and $0.2 million in
equipment maintenance expenses offset by decreases of $0.2 million in salary and fringe expenses
and $0.1 million in depreciation expenses.
Other Operating (Income) Expense, Net
Other operating (income) expense, net decreased from $0.6 million of income in the first quarter of
fiscal year 2009 to $0.1 million of income in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010. The following
table shows the components of other operating (income) expense, net (amounts in thousands):

Income Taxes
The Companys income tax provision for the quarter ended September 27, 2009 resulted in tax expense
at an effective rate of 50.5% compared to the quarter ended September 28, 2008 which resulted in a
tax expense at an effective rate of 143.5%. The difference between the Companys income tax
expense and the U.S. statutory rate for the quarter ended September 27, 2009 is primarily due to
losses in the U.S. and other jurisdictions for which no tax benefit can be recognized while
operating profit is generated in other taxable jurisdictions. The difference between the Companys
income tax benefit and the U.S. statutory rate for the quarter ended September 28, 2008 was also
due to losses in the U.S. and other jurisdictions for which no tax benefit could be recognized.
30
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 valuation allowance on
the Companys net domestic deferred tax assets is reviewed quarterly and will be maintained until
sufficient positive evidence
exists to support the reversal of the valuation allowance. In addition, until such time that the
Company determines it is more likely than not that it will generate sufficient taxable income to
realize its deferred tax assets, income tax benefits associated with future period losses will be
fully reserved. The valuation allowance increased $2.2 million in the quarter ended September 27,
2009 compared to a $0.6 million increase in the quarter ended September 28, 2008.
The Company believes it is reasonably possible unrecognized tax benefits will decrease
approximately $1.2 million by the end of fiscal year 2010 as a result of expiring tax credit carry
forwards.
The Company has elected to classify interest and penalties recognized as income tax expense. The
Company did not accrue interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions during fiscal years
2008, 2009 or during the quarter ended September 27, 2009.
Polyester Operations
Consolidated polyester unit volumes decreased 2.5% for the quarter ended September 27, 2009, while
average net selling prices decreased 12.6% compared to the quarter ended September 28, 2008. Net
sales for the polyester segment for the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 decreased by $18.5
million or 15.1% as compared to the same quarter in the prior year primarily due to year-over-year
reductions in raw material costs and the on-going impact of the global recession.
Domestically, polyester net sales decreased $17.1 million, or 20.1% as compared to the first
quarter of fiscal year 2009. Domestic sales volume decreased 9.4% while average unit prices
decreased 11.8%. The decrease in domestic weighted-average selling prices reflects a decline in
sales prices driven by lower raw material costs compared to the same prior year quarter.
Gross profit for the consolidated polyester segment increased $5.6 million, or 68% over the first
quarter of fiscal year 2009. On a per unit basis, gross profit
increased 73%. Per unit
manufacturing costs decreased 17.8% which consisted of decreased per unit variable manufacturing
costs of 14.7% and decreased per unit fixed manufacturing costs of 24.3% as discussed further
below. Additionally, during the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, conversion margins improved on
a per unit basis of 1.3% compared to the same quarter of the prior year and 5.3% compared to the
fiscal 2009 fourth quarter.
Domestic gross profit increased $3.3 million, or 154% over the first quarter of fiscal year 2009
primarily as a result of lower raw material and manufacturing costs. The Company experienced a
decline in its domestic polyester conversion margin of $0.7 million; however on a per unit basis
conversion margins increased 7.8% over the prior year quarter due to lower raw material cost.
Variable manufacturing costs decreased $2.4 million or 3.4% on a per unit basis as a result of
lower packaging, utility costs, and wage expenses. Fixed manufacturing costs also declined $1.6
million or 19.4% on a per unit basis as compared to first quarter of fiscal year 2009 primarily as
a result of lower depreciation expense and reduced costs related to asset consolidations.
On a local currency basis, per unit net sales from the Companys Brazilian texturing operation
declined 0.8% while raw material costs decreased 8.9%, resulting in improved per unit conversion
margins of 16.3%. Variable manufacturing costs increased on a per unit basis by 2.7% while fixed
manufacturing costs decreased on a per unit basis by 23.7%, which when coupled with the improvement
in conversion margins resulted in a per unit increase in gross profit of 47.7%. Per unit variable
manufacturing costs increased primarily due to an increase in utilities expenses. Per unit fixed
manufacturing costs decreased due to lower depreciation and other fixed manufacturing costs coupled
with higher manufactured volumes. On a U.S. dollar basis, per unit net sales, conversion margin,
and gross profit were further reduced by 11%, 13% and 16%, respectively, due to unfavorable changes
in the currency exchange rate. The U.S. dollar value of the
31
change in currency on net sales,
conversion margin and gross profit was a decline of $4.4 million, $1.7 million and $0.6 million,
respectively.
SG&A expenses for the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 were $8.8 million compared to $8.4 million
in the same quarter in the prior year. The polyester segments SG&A expenses consist of domestic
SG&A costs which are allocated to each segment on a basis that is determined at the beginning of
every fiscal year using budgeted cost drivers plus the SG&A expenses of the polyester foreign
subsidiaries.
Nylon Operations
Consolidated nylon unit volumes decreased 22.4% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 compared
to the prior year quarter while average selling prices increased 5.9%. Net sales for the nylon
segment in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 decreased $7.6 million, or 16.6% as compared to
the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. The decrease in nylon net sales was primarily due to the
previously discussed market decline, especially in the shape-wear segment, while the increase in
sales price was due to a shift in product mix.
Gross profit for the nylon segment increased $0.4 million, or 7.2% in the first quarter of fiscal
year 2010 compared to the prior year quarter. The nylon segment experienced a decrease in
conversion margins of $2.1 million offset by decreased manufacturing costs of $2.5 million
primarily as a result of lower wage and fringe expenses and lower depreciation expense. On a per
unit basis conversion margins increased 13.4% offset by an increase in per unit manufacturing costs
of 3.1% due to reduced sales volumes and a richer product mix. Variable manufacturing costs
decreased $1.4 million, however, on a per unit basis variable costs increased 10.8% while fixed
manufacturing costs decreased $1.1 million, and on a per unit basis fixed costs decreased 22.6%.
SG&A expenses for the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 were $2.3 million compared to $2.2 million
in the same quarter in the prior year. The nylon segments SG&A expenses consist of domestic SG&A
costs which are allocated to each segment on a basis that is determined at the beginning of every
fiscal year using budgeted cost drivers plus the SG&A expenses of the nylon foreign subsidiaries.
Corporate
On October 29, 2008, the shareholders of the Company approved the 2008 Unifi, Inc. Long-Term
Incentive Plan (2008 Long-Term Incentive Plan). The 2008 Long-Term Incentive Plan authorized the
issuance of up to 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the grant or exercise of stock
options, including Incentive Stock Options (ISO), Non-Qualified Stock Options (NQSO) and
restricted stock, but not more than 3,000,000 shares may be issued as restricted stock. Option
awards are granted with an exercise price not less than the market price of the Companys stock at
the date of grant.
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Compensation Committee (Committee) of the
Board of Directors (Board) authorized the issuance of 280,000 stock options from the 2008
Long-Term Incentive Plan to certain key employees. The stock options 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 exercise price
is $4.16 per share which is equal to the market price of the Companys stock on the grant date.
The Company used a Monte Carlo stock option model to estimate the fair value of $2.49 per share and
the derived vesting period of 1.2 years.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Committee authorized the issuance of 1,700,000
stock options from the 2008 Long-Term Incentive Plan to certain key employees and certain members
of the Board. The stock options vest ratably over a three year period and have 10-year contractual
terms. The Company used the Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair values of the options
granted.
32
The following table provides detail of the number of options granted during the first quarter of
fiscal year 2010 and the related assumptions used in the valuation of these awards:

The Company incurred $0.6 million and $0.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal years 2010 and
2009 respectively, in stock-based compensation expense which was recorded as selling, general and
administrative (SG&A) expenses with the offset to capital in excess of par value.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company issued 1,268,300 shares of common stock
as a result of the exercise of stock options. There were no options exercised during the first
quarter of fiscal year 2010.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity Assessment
The Companys primary capital requirements are for working capital, capital expenditures and
service of indebtedness. Historically, the Company has met its working capital and capital
maintenance requirements from its operations. Asset acquisitions and joint venture investments
have been financed by asset sales proceeds, cash reserves and borrowing under its financing
agreements discussed below.
In addition to its normal operating cash and working capital requirements and service of its
indebtedness, the Company will also require cash to fund capital expenditure projects as follows:
| Capital Expenditures. During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company spent $2.1
million on capital expenditures compared to $3.6 million in the first quarter fiscal year
2009. The Company estimates its fiscal year 2010 capital expenditures will be within a
range of $8.0 million to $9.0 million. From time to time, the Company may have restricted
cash from the sale of certain nonproductive assets reserved for domestic capital
expenditures in accordance with its long-term borrowing agreements. As of September 27,
2009, the Company had no restricted cash funds that were required to be used for domestic
capital expenditures. The Companys capital expenditures primarily relate to maintenance
of existing assets and equipment and technology upgrades. Management continuously
evaluates opportunities to further reduce production costs, and the Company may incur
additional capital expenditures from time to time as it pursues new opportunities for
further cost reductions. |
| Joint Venture Investments. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Company
received $1.6 million in dividend distributions from its joint ventures. Although
historically over the past five years the Company has received distributions from certain
of its joint ventures, there is no guarantee that it will continue to receive
distributions in the future. The Company may from time to time increase its interest in
its joint ventures, sell its interest in its joint ventures, invest in new joint ventures
or transfer idle equipment to its joint ventures. |
In December 2008, the Company renegotiated the proposed agreement to sell its interest in
YUFI to YCFC for $9.0 million and recorded an additional impairment charge of $1.5 million,
which included a $0.5 million adjustment related to certain disputed accounts receivable
and a $1.0 million adjustment related to the fair value of its investment, as determined by
the re-negotiated equity interest sales price. On March 30, 2009, the Company closed on
the sale and received $9.0 million in proceeds. |
33
Investment. The Companys management decided that a fundamental change in its approach was
required to maximize its earnings and growth opportunities in the Chinese market.
Accordingly, the Company formed UTSC, a wholly-owned subsidiary based in Suzhou, China,
that is dedicated to the development, sales and service of PVA yarns. UTSC obtained its
business license in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009, was capitalized during the
third quarter of fiscal year 2009 with $3.3 million of registered capital and became
operational at the end of the third quarter of fiscal year 2009. |
The Company is executing its plans to
establish a wholly-owned base of operations in Central
America. The total investment in the initial stages is
expected to be $10.0 million or less. The Company expects to be operational over the next
six to nine months. |
PAL entered into an agreement for PAL to buy most of the spun cotton yarn manufacturing
operations from HBI. In addition, PAL will supply a substantial amount of HBIs yarn
demand in the western hemisphere. Under the agreement, PAL will take over the operations
of three HBI manufacturing plants, and will supply HBI from those facilities and other
existing U.S. production plants. While the funding required to finance this purchase and
the required working capital will likely limit the Companys ability to receive large
dividends from PAL, the Company does expect this agreement will substantially improve the
financial performance of the joint venture and ultimately the fair
value of its investment. |
As discussed below in Long-Term Debt, the Companys Amended Credit Agreement contains
customary covenants for asset based loans which restrict future borrowings and capital
spending. It includes a trailing twelve month fixed charge coverage ratio that restricts
the Companys ability to invest in certain assets if the ratio becomes less than 1.0 to
1.0, after giving effect to such investment on a pro forma basis. As of September 27,
2009, the Company had a fixed charge coverage ratio of less than 1.0 to 1.0 and was
therefore subjected to these restrictions. These restrictions will likely apply in future
quarters until such time as the Companys financial performance
improves. |

The discussion below compares cash provided by continuing operations for the first quarter of
fiscal 2009 to the first quarter of fiscal year 2010. Cash received from customers decreased from
$173.1 million to $142.7 million due to lower net sales related to the economic downturn which
began in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. Payments to suppliers and for other operating
costs decreased from $142.3 million to $101.8 million primarily as a result of the reduction in
production related to the decline in product demand. Salary, wage and benefit payments decreased
from $28.5 million to $26.8 million, also as a result of reduced production and reduced workforce
associated with asset consolidation efficiencies. Taxes paid by the Company increased from $1.4
million to $2.4 million as a result of an increase in tax liabilities related to the
34
Companys Brazilian subsidiary. The Company received cash dividends of $2.1 million and $1.6
million from PAL while cash received from other miscellaneous sources including interest decreased
from $0.5 million to $0.3 million.
On a U.S. dollar basis, working capital increased from $175.8 million at June 28, 2009 to $188.7
million at September 27, 2009 due to increases in cash of $13.0 million, increases in accounts
receivable of $1.5 million, increases in inventories of $9.8 million, decreases in current
maturities of long-term debt and other current liabilities of $0.6 million, offset by increases in
accounts payable of $7.5 million, and increases in accrued expenses of $3.6 million, decreases in
assets held for sale of $0.1 million, decreases in restricted cash of $0.6 million, and decreases
in other current assets of $0.2 million. The working capital current ratio was 4.2 at September
27, 2009 and 4.6 at June 28, 2009.
Cash Used In Investing Activities and Financing Activities
The Company utilized $0.2 million from net investing activities and utilized $2.2 million in net
financing activities during the quarter ended September 27, 2009. The primary cash expenditures
for investing and financing activities during the current period included $2.2 million for payments
of debt and $2.1 million in capital expenditures, offset by $1.8 million decrease in restricted
cash and $0.1 million in proceeds from the sale of capital assets.
The Companys ability to meet its debt service obligations and reduce its total debt will depend
upon its ability to generate cash in the future which, in turn, will be subject to general
economic, financial, business, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other conditions, many of
which are beyond its control. The Company may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow from
operations, and future borrowings may not be available to the Company under its amended revolving
credit facility (Amended Credit Agreement) in an amount sufficient to enable it to repay its debt
or to fund its other liquidity needs. If its future cash flow from operations and other capital
resources are insufficient to pay its obligations as they mature or to fund its liquidity needs,
the Company may be forced to reduce or delay its business activities and capital expenditures, sell
assets, obtain additional debt or equity capital or restructure or refinance all or a portion of
its debt on or before maturity. The Company may not be able to accomplish any of these
alternatives on a timely basis or on satisfactory terms, if at all. In addition, the terms of its
existing and future indebtedness, including its 11.5% senior secured notes (the 2014 notes) which
mature on May 15, 2014 and its Amended Credit Agreement, may limit its ability to pursue any of
these alternatives. See Item 1ARisk FactorsThe Company will require a significant amount of
cash to service its indebtedness, and its ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond
its control included in the Companys Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2009. Some
risks that could adversely affect its ability to meet its debt service obligations include, but are
not limited to, intense domestic and foreign competition in its industry, general domestic and
international economic conditions, changes in currency exchange rates, interest and inflation
rates, the financial condition of its customers and the operating performance of joint ventures,
alliances and other equity investments.
Other Factors Affecting Liquidity
Asset Sales. Under the terms of the Companys debt agreements, the sale or other disposition of
any assets or rights as well as the issuance or sale of equity interests in the Companys
subsidiaries is considered an asset sale (Asset Sale) subject to various exceptions. The Company
has granted liens to its lenders on substantially all of its domestic operating assets
(Collateral) and its foreign investments. Further, the debt agreements place restrictions on the
Companys ability to dispose of certain assets which do not qualify as Collateral
(Non-Collateral). Pursuant to the debt agreements, the Company is restricted from selling or
otherwise disposing of either its Collateral or its Non-Collateral, subject to certain exceptions,
such as ordinary course of business inventory sales and sales of assets having a fair market value
of less than $2.0 million.
35
Note Repurchases from Sources Other than Sales of Collateral and Non-Collateral. In
addition to the offers to repurchase notes set forth above, the Company may also, from time to
time, seek to retire or purchase its outstanding debt, in open market purchases, in privately
negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such retirement or purchase of debt may come from the
operating cash flows of the business or other sources and will depend upon prevailing market
conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors, and the amounts
involved may be material. See Long-term Debt below for further discussion.
The preceding description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Indenture
and the 2014 notes which are listed on the Exhibit Index of the Companys Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2009.
Stock Repurchase Program. Effective July 26, 2000, the Board increased the remaining authorization
to repurchase 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. 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.
Environmental Liabilities. The land for the Kinston site was leased pursuant to a 99 year
ground lease (Ground Lease) with E.I. DuPont de Nemours (DuPont). Since 1993, DuPont has been
investigating and cleaning up the Kinston site under the supervision of the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) and the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(DENR) pursuant to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Corrective Action program. The
Corrective Action program requires DuPont to identify all potential areas of environmental concern
(AOCs), assess the extent of containment at the identified AOCs and clean it up to comply with
applicable regulatory standards. Effective March 20, 2008, the Company entered into a Lease
Termination Agreement associated with conveyance of certain assets at Kinston to DuPont. This
agreement terminated the Ground Lease and relieved the Company of any future responsibility for
environmental remediation, other than participation with DuPont, if so called upon, with regard to
the Companys period of operation of the Kinston site. However, the Company continues to own a
satellite service facility acquired in the INVISTA transaction that has contamination from DuPonts
operations and is monitored by DENR. This site has been remediated by DuPont and DuPont has
received authority from DENR to discontinue remediation, other than natural attenuation. DuPonts
duty to monitor and report to DENR will be transferred to the Company in the future, at which time
DuPont must pay the Company for seven years of monitoring and reporting costs and the Company will
assume responsibility for any future remediation and monitoring of the site. At this time, the
Company has no basis to determine if and when it will have any responsibility or obligation with
respect to the AOCs or the extent of any potential liability for the same.
Market Conditions. Further deterioration of the current global economic conditions could reduce
demand for the Companys product faster than managements ability to react through further
consolidation of its manufacturing capacity, since the Company is a high volume, high fixed cost
business. These conditions could also materially affect the Companys customers causing reductions
or cancellations of existing sales orders and inhibit the collectibility of receivables. In
addition, the Companys suppliers may be unable to fulfill the Companys outstanding orders or
could change credit terms that would negatively affect the Companys liquidity. All of these
factors could adversely impact the Companys results of operations, financial condition and cash
flows.
36
Long-Term Debt
On May 26, 2006, the Company issued $190 million of 11.5% senior secured notes (2014 notes) due
May 15, 2014. In connection with the issuance, the Company incurred $7.3 million in professional
fees and other expenses which are being amortized to expense over the life of the 2014 notes.
Interest is payable on the 2014 notes on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The 2014 notes are
unconditionally guaranteed on a senior, secured basis by each of the Companys existing and future
restricted domestic subsidiaries. The 2014 notes and guarantees are secured by first-priority
liens, subject to permitted liens, on substantially all of the Companys and the Companys
subsidiary guarantors assets other than the assets securing the Companys obligations under its
Amended Credit Agreement as discussed below. The assets include but are not limited to, property,
plant and equipment, domestic capital stock and some foreign capital stock. Domestic capital stock
includes the capital stock of the Companys domestic subsidiaries and certain of its joint
ventures. Foreign capital stock includes up to 65% of the voting stock of the Companys first-tier
foreign subsidiaries, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, except for certain excluded assets.
The 2014 notes and guarantees are secured by second-priority liens, subject to permitted liens, on
the Company and its subsidiary guarantors assets that will secure the 2014 notes and guarantees on
a first-priority basis. The estimated fair value of the 2014 notes, based on quoted market prices,
at September 27, 2009 was approximately $164.4 million.
Through September 27, 2009, the Company sold property, plant and equipment secured by
first-priority liens in an aggregate amount of $25.0 million. In accordance with the 2014 notes
collateral documents and the indenture, the proceeds from the sale of the property, plant and
equipment (First Priority Collateral) were deposited into the First Priority Collateral Account
whereby the Company may use the restricted funds to purchase additional qualifying assets. Through
September 27, 2009, the Company had utilized all $25.0 million to purchase qualifying assets,
leaving no funds remaining in the First Priority Collateral Account.
Prior to May 15, 2009, the Company could elect to redeem up to 35% of the principal amount of the
2014 notes with the proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 111.5% of
par value, otherwise the Company cannot redeem the 2014 notes prior to May 15, 2010. After May 15,
2010, the Company can elect to redeem some or all of the 2014 notes at redemption prices equal to
or in excess of par depending on the year the optional redemption occurs. As of September 27, 2009
no such optional redemptions had occurred. The Company may purchase its 2014 notes, in open market
purchases or in privately negotiated transactions and then retire them. Such purchases of the 2014
notes will depend on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions
and other factors. On September 15, 2009, the Company repurchased and retired notes having a face
value of $0.5 million in open market purchases. The net effect of the gain on this repurchase and
the write-off of the respective unamortized issuance cost of the 2014 notes resulted in a net gain
of $0.1 million.
Concurrently with the issuance of the 2014 notes, the Company amended its senior secured
asset-based revolving credit facility to provide for a $100 million revolving borrowing base to
extend its maturity to 2011, and 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 2014 notes and guarantees on a first-priority basis, in
each case other than certain excluded assets. The Companys ability to borrow under the Companys
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.
37
Borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement bear interest at rates of LIBOR plus 1.50% to 2.25%
and/or prime plus 0.00% to 0.50%. The interest rate matrix is based on the Companys excess
availability under the Amended Credit Agreement. The Amended Credit Agreement also includes a
0.25% LIBOR margin pricing reduction if the Companys fixed charge coverage ratio is greater than
1.5 to 1.0. The unused line fee under the Amended Credit Agreement is 0.25% to 0.35% of the
borrowing base. In connection with the refinancing, the Company incurred fees and expenses
aggregating $1.2 million, which are being amortized over the term of the Amended Credit Agreement.
As of September 27, 2009, under the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company had no
outstanding borrowings and borrowing availability of $65.5 million.
The Amended Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative customary covenants for asset-based
loans that restrict future borrowings and capital spending. The covenants under the Amended Credit
Agreement are more restrictive than those in the indenture. Such covenants include, without
limitation, restrictions and limitations on (i) sales of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution
and the issuance of the Companys capital stock, each subsidiary guarantor and any domestic
subsidiary thereof, (ii) permitted encumbrances on the Companys 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.
The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary covenants for asset based loans which restrict
future borrowings and capital spending. It includes a trailing twelve month fixed charge coverage
ratio that restricts the Companys ability to invest in certain assets if the ratio becomes less
than 1.0 to 1.0, after giving effect to such investment on a pro forma basis. As of September 27,
2009 the Company had a fixed charge coverage ratio of less than 1.0 to 1.0 and was therefore
subjected to these restrictions. These restrictions will likely apply in future quarters until
such time as the Companys financial performance improves.
Under the Amended Credit Agreement, the maximum capital expenditures are limited to $30 million per
fiscal year with a 75% one-year unused carry forward. The Amended Credit Agreement permits the
Company to make distributions, subject to standard criteria, as long as pro forma excess
availability is greater than $25 million both before and after giving effect to such distributions,
subject to certain exceptions. Under the Amended Credit Agreement, acquisitions by the Company are
subject to pro forma covenant compliance. If borrowing capacity is less than $25 million at any
time, covenants will include a required minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.1 to 1.0,
receivables are subject to cash dominion, and annual capital expenditures are limited to $5.0
million per year of maintenance capital expenditures.
Unifi do Brazil, received loans from the government of the State of Minas Gerais to finance 70% of
the value added taxes due by Unifi do Brazil to the State of Minas Gerais. These twenty-four month
loans were granted as part of a tax incentive program for producers in the State of Minas Gerais.
The loans had a 2.5% origination fee and bear an effective interest rate equal to 50% of the
Brazilian inflation rate, which was (0.8)% on September 27, 2009. The loans were collateralized by
a performance bond letter issued by a Brazilian bank, which secures the performance by Unifi do
Brazil of its obligations under the loans. In return for this performance bond letter, Unifi do
Brazil made certain restricted cash deposits with the Brazilian bank in amounts equal to 100% of
the loan amounts. The deposits made by Unifi do Brazil earn interest at a rate equal to
approximately 100% of the Brazilian prime interest rate which was 8.8% as of September 27, 2009.
The ability to make new borrowings under the tax incentive program ended in May 2008. As of
September 27, 2009 Unifi do Brazil had $5.8 million of outstanding deposits and loans recorded on
its balance sheet.
38
The Company believes that, based on current levels of operations and anticipated growth, cash flow
from operations, together with other available sources of funds, including borrowings under its
Amended Credit
Agreement, will be adequate to fund anticipated capital and other expenditures and to satisfy its
working capital requirements for at least the next twelve months.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 168 The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS No. 168), a replacement of SFAS No. 162, The
Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The statement was effective for all
financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. On
June 30, 2009 the FASB issued its first Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2009-01 Topic 105
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles amendments based on No. 168 the FASB Accounting
Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Accounting
Standards Codification (ASC) 105-10 establishes a single source of generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) which is to be applied by nongovernmental entities. All guidance contained in
the ASC carries an equal level of authority; however there are standards that will remain
authoritative until such time that each is integrated into the ASC. The SEC also issues rules and
interpretive releases that are also sources of authoritative GAAP for publicly traded registrants.
The ASC superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All non-grandfathered
accounting literature not included in the ASC will be considered non-authoritative.
Effective June 29, 2009, the Company adopted ASC 805-20, Business Combinations Identifiable
Assets, Liabilities and Any Non-Controlling Interest (ASC 805-20). ASC 805-20 amends and
clarifies ASC 805 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 guidance 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. The adoption of this guidance had no
material effect on the Companys financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements,
(ASU 2009-13) and ASU No. 2009-14, Certain Arrangements That Include Software Elements, (ASU
2009-14). ASU 2009-13 requires entities to allocate revenue in an arrangement using a selling
price hierarchy using the relative selling price method. ASU 2009-14 removes tangible products
from the scope of software revenue guidance and provides guidance on determining whether software
deliverables in an arrangement that includes a tangible product are covered by the scope of the
software revenue guidance. ASU 2009-13 and ASU 2009-14 should be applied on a prospective basis
for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after
June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect adoption of ASU 2009-13
or ASU 2009-14 to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated results of operations or
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.
39
Forward-Looking Statements
Forward-looking statements are those that do not relate solely to historical fact. 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.
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. Readers of this report should not rely solely on the forward-looking statements
and should consider all risks and uncertainties through-out this report as well as those discussed
under Item 1A. Risk Factors of the Companys Annual Report on form 10K for the fiscal year ended
June 28, 2009. Factors that may cause actual results to differ from expectations include:
| the competitive nature of the textile industry and the impact of worldwide competition; |
| changes in the trade regulatory environment and governmental policies and legislation; |
| the availability, sourcing and pricing of raw materials; |
| general domestic and international economic and industry conditions in markets where the Company competes, such as recession and other economic and political factors over which the Company has no control; |
| changes in consumer spending, customer preferences, fashion trends and end-uses; |
| its ability to reduce production costs; |
| changes in currency exchange rates, interest and inflation rates; |
| the financial condition of its customers; |
| its ability to sell excess assets; |
| technological advancements and the continued availability of financial resources to fund capital expenditures; |
| the operating performance of joint ventures, alliances and other equity investments; |
| the impact of environmental, health and safety regulations; |
| the loss of a material customer; |
| employee relations; |
| volatility of financial and credit markets; |
| the continuity of the Companys leadership; |
| availability of and access to credit on reasonable terms; and |
| the success of the Companys consolidation initiatives. |
New risks can emerge from time to time. It is not possible for the Company to predict
all of these risks, nor can it assess the extent to which any factor, or combination of
factors, may cause actual results to differ from those contained in forward-looking
statements. The Company will not update these forward-looking statements, even if its
situation changes in the future, except as required by federal securities laws.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Company is exposed to market risks associated with changes in interest rates and currency
fluctuation rates, which may adversely affect its financial position, results of operations and
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In addition, the Company is also exposed to other
risks in the operation of its business.
Interest Rate Risk: The Company is exposed to interest rate risk through its various borrowing
activities. The majority of the Companys borrowings are in long-term fixed rate bonds.
Therefore, the market rate risk associated with a 100 basis point change in interest rates would
not be material to the Company at the present time.
Currency Exchange Rate Risk: The Company accounts for derivative contracts and hedging
activities at fair value. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge,
changes in the fair value of derivatives are either offset against the change in fair value of the
hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or are recorded in other
comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a
derivatives change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings. The Company does not
enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes nor is it a party to any leveraged
financial instruments.
The Company conducts its business in various foreign currencies. As a result, it is subject
to the transaction exposure that arises from foreign exchange rate movements between the dates that
foreign currency transactions are recorded and the dates they are consummated. The Company
utilizes some natural hedging to mitigate these transaction exposures. The Company primarily
enters into foreign currency forward contracts for the purchase and sale of European, North
American and Brazilian currencies to use as economic hedges against balance sheet and income
statement currency exposures. These contracts are principally entered into for the purchase of
inventory and equipment and the sale of Company products into export markets. Counter-parties for
these instruments are major financial institutions.
Currency forward contracts are used to hedge exposure for sales in foreign currencies based on
specific sales made to customers. Generally, 60-75% of the sales value of these orders is covered
by forward contracts. Maturity dates of the forward contracts are intended to match anticipated
receivable collections. The Company marks the forward contracts to market at month end and any
realized and unrealized gains or losses are recorded as other operating (income) expense. The
Company also enters currency forward contracts for committed inventory purchases made by its
Brazilian subsidiary. Generally 5% of these inventory purchases are covered by forward contracts
although 100% of the cost may be covered by individual contracts in certain instances. The latest
maturity for all outstanding purchase and sales foreign currency forward contracts is November
2009.
Under the ASC there is now a common definition of fair value to be used and a hierarchy for fair
value measurements based on the type of inputs that are used to value the assets or liabilities at
fair value.
The levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
| Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date, |
| Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, or |
| Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. |
41
The dollar equivalent of these forward currency contracts and their related fair values are
detailed below (amounts in thousands):

2009 | 2009 | |||||||
Level 2 | Level 2 | |||||||

$ | 6 | $ | (46 | ) | |||
The fair values of the foreign exchange forward contracts at the respective quarter-end dates are
based on discounted quarter-end forward currency rates. The total impact of foreign currency
related items that are reported on the line item other operating (income) expense, net in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations, including transactions that were hedged and those that were
not hedged, was a pre-tax loss of $13 thousand for the quarter ended September 27, 2009 and a
pre-tax gain of $0.3 million for the quarter ended September 28, 2008.
The Company calculates the fair values of its 2014 notes based on the traded price of the
notes on the latest trade date prior to its period end. These are considered Level 1 inputs in the
fair value hierarchy. The fair values of $164.4 million and $112.9 million of the 2014 notes at
September 27, 2009 and June 28, 2009 were calculated based on the latest trade price on September
15, 2009 and June 19, 2009, respectively.
Inflation and Other Risks: The inflation rate in most countries the Company conducts business has
been low in recent years and the impact on the Companys cost structure has not been significant.
The Company is also exposed to political risk, including changing laws and regulations governing
international trade such as quotas and tariffs and tax laws. The degree of impact and the
frequency of these events cannot be predicted.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of September 27, 2009, 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 CEO and CFO. Based on that
evaluation, the Companys CEO and CFO 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 CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
There has been no change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting (as defined in
Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) 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.

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. 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.
