4. Acquisition of Controlling Interest in Repreve Renewables, LLC
In April 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with two other unaffiliated entities to form Repreve Renewables, LLC (“Renewables”) and received a 40% ownership interest for its $4,000 contribution.  Renewables is a development stage enterprise formed to cultivate, grow and sell dedicated energy crops, including biomass feedstock intended for use as a fuel in the production of energy as well as to provide value added processes for cultivating, harvesting or using biomass crops.  Renewables has the exclusive license to commercialize FREEDOM™ Giant Miscanthus (“FGM”).  FGM is a miscanthus grass strain, which is a C4 plant that was developed by Mississippi State University to be a dedicated energy crop with high biomass yield from minimal input requirements.  Renewables’ success will depend in part on its ability to license individual growers to produce FGM and to sell feedstock to those growers.  The Company’s investment in Renewables is anticipated to provide a unique revenue stream and support its strategy to grow the REPREVE® brand and related sustainability initiatives.
 
On October 6, 2011, the Company and one other existing Renewables shareholder each acquired an additional 20% ownership interest for $500 from the third Renewables shareholder.  The additional ownership interest purchased by the Company was financed with available cash.  Using the amounts paid per membership unit in the October 6th transaction as a basis, the Company determined that the acquisition date fair value of Renewables was $2,500.  This resulted in the Company’s previously held 40% equity interest being valued at $1,000.  As a result of remeasuring its existing 40% interest to this estimated fair value, the Company recorded a loss of $3,656 during the three months ended December 25, 2011.
 
Fair value of consideration transferred	 	$	500

Sub-licenses	4 years	 	 	 	32	 	
Total	 	 	 	$	536	 	
 
The acquisition of the additional 20% ownership interest has given the Company a 60% ownership interest in Renewables.  Beginning with the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, the Company’s consolidated financial statements include the financial position and results of operations of Renewables. Prior to the acquisition, the Company’s share of Renewables’ losses were recorded as Equity in (earnings) losses of unconsolidated affiliates.  As Renewables is a development stage enterprise and has no revenues and limited operating activities, the results of Renewables’ operations since the acquisition are shown within Other Operating Expenses, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
 
Renewables’ operating expenses are funded through contributions from its members.

The changes in the Company’s allowance for uncollectible accounts and reserves for yarn quality claims were as follows:
 	 	Allowance for
Uncollectible
Accounts	 	 	Reserves for
Yarn Quality
Claims	 	
Balance at June 26, 2011	 	$	(1,147	)	 	$	(1,101	)	
Charged to costs and expenses	 	 	(418	)	 	 	(527	)

Deductions	 	 	82	 	 	 	1,067	 	
Balance at March 25, 2012	 	$	(1,416	)	 	$	(542	)	
 
Amounts charged to costs and expenses for the allowance for uncollectible accounts are reflected in the (Benefit) provision for bad debts line and amounts charged to costs and expenses for the reserves for yarn quality claims are primarily reflected as a reduction in the Net sales line of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.  Amounts charged to other accounts primarily include the impact of translating the activity of the Company’s foreign affiliates from their respective local currencies to the U.S. dollar.  For the allowance for uncollectible accounts, deductions represent amounts written off which were deemed to not be collectible, net of any recoveries.  For the reserve for yarn quality claims, deductions represent adjustments to either increase or decrease claims based on negotiated amounts or actual versus estimated claim differences.
 
6.  Inventories
Inventories consist of the following:

In fiscal year 2007, the Company purchased the texturing operations of Dillon Yarn Corporation (“Dillon”) which are included in the Company’s Polyester segment.  The valuation of the customer list acquired was determined by estimating the discounted net earnings attributable to the customer relationships that were purchased after considering items such as possible customer attrition.  Based on the length and trend of the projected cash flows, an estimated useful life of thirteen years was determined.  The customer list is being amortized in a manner which reflects the expected economic benefit that will be received over its thirteen year life.  The non-compete agreements are amortized using the straight line method over the periods covered by the covenants not to compete.  The amortization expense is included within the Polyester segment’s depreciation and amortization expense.

On May 26, 2006, the Company issued $190,000 of 2014 notes due May 15, 2014 with interest payable on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The 2014 notes are guaranteed on a senior, secured basis by each of the Company’s 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 Company’s PP&E, domestic capital stock and some foreign capital stock.  Domestic capital stock includes the capital stock of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and certain of its joint ventures. Foreign capital stock includes up to 65% of the voting stock of the Company’s first-tier foreign subsidiaries. The terms of the 2014 notes do not contain financial maintenance covenants.
 
The Company can currently 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.  Beginning in May 2012, the redemption price of the 2014 notes is equal to par.  The Company may also purchase its 2014 notes in open market purchases or in privately negotiated transactions and then retire them or it may refinance all or a portion of the 2014 notes with a new debt offering.

Revolving Credit Facility
Concurrent with the issuance of the 2014 notes, the Company amended its senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (“Amended Credit Agreement”) which, along with revising certain terms and covenants, extended its maturity date to May 15, 2011.  On September 9, 2010, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors (as co-borrowers) entered into the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("First Amended Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. (as both Administrative Agent and Lender).  The First Amended Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility of $100,000 that matures on September 9, 2015.  However, if the 2014 notes have not been paid in full on or before February 15, 2014, the maturity date of the Company’s revolving credit facility will be automatically adjusted to February 15, 2014.
 
The First Amended Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for asset-based loans that restrict future borrowings and certain transactions. The covenants include restrictions and limitations on (i) sales of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution and the issuance of capital stock, (ii) permitted encumbrances on property, (iii) the incurrence of indebtedness, (iv) the making of loans or investments, (v) the declaration of dividends and redemptions and (vi) transactions with affiliates.  As long as pro forma excess availability is at least 27.5% of the total credit facility or, if applicable, other specific conditions are met, the Company can make certain distributions and investments including (i) the payment or making of any dividend, (ii) the redemption or other acquisition of any of the Company’s capital stock, (iii) cash investments in joint ventures, (iv) acquisition of the property and assets or capital stock or a business unit of another entity and (v) loans or other investments to a non-borrower subsidiary.  The First Amended Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a trailing twelve month fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0 to 1.0 should borrowing availability decrease below 15% of the total credit facility.  There are no capital expenditure limitations under the First Amended Credit Agreement.  The Company was in compliance with all such covenants at March 25, 2012.

The First Amended Credit Agreement is secured by first-priority liens on the Company’s and its subsidiary guarantors’ inventory, accounts receivable, general intangibles, investment property and certain other property. The Company’s ability to borrow under the First Amended Credit Agreement is limited to a borrowing base equal to specified percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory and is subject to other conditions and limitations.  Borrowings under the First Amended Credit Agreement bear interest at rates of LIBOR plus 2.00% to 2.75% and/or prime plus 0.75% to 1.50% depending on the Company’s level of excess availability. The unused line fee under the First Amended Credit Agreement is 0.375% to 0.50% of the unused line amount.
 
The weighted average interest rate for the revolving credit facility borrowings for the nine months ended March 25, 2012, including the effects of all interest rate swaps was 3.6%.  The Company has $2,695 of standby letters of credit at March 25, 2012, none of which have been drawn upon. As of March 25, 2012 and June 26, 2011, the Company had $52,955 and $51,734 of excess availability under the revolving credit facility, respectively.
 
The following table presents the scheduled maturities of the Company’s long-term debt on a fiscal year basis:
2012	 	 	2013	 	 	2014	 	 	2015	 	 	2016	 	 	Thereafter	 	 	Total

Amortization charged to interest expense related to debt financing fees was as follows:
 	 	For the Three Months Ended	 	 	For the Nine Months Ended	 	
 	 	March 25, 2012	 	 	March 27, 2011	 	 	March 25, 2012	 	 	March 27, 2011	 	
Interest expense	 	$	227	 	 	$	235	 	 	$	672	 	 	$	736	 	
 
13.  Other Long-Term Liabilities
Other long-term liabilities consist of the following:
 	 	March 25, 2012	 	 	June 26, 2011	 	
Supplemental post-employment plan	 	$	2,212	 	 	$	1,866	 	
Retiree medical liability	 	 	696	 	 	 	696	 	
Derivative instruments	 	 	353	 	 	 	408	 	
Long-term portion of foreign taxes payable	 	 	834	 	 	 	868	 	
Other non-income related taxes	 	 	166	 	 	 	169	 	
Total other long-term liabilities	 	$	4,261	 	 	$	4,007	 	
 
The Company maintains an unfunded supplemental post-employment plan for a select group of management employees.  Each participant’s account is credited annually based upon a percentage of their base salary with each participant’s balance adjusted quarterly to reflect returns based upon a stock market index.  The amounts of net expense recorded for this plan within Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the three months ended March 25, 2012 and March 27, 2011 were $280 and $151, respectively and for the nine months ended March 25, 2012 and March 27, 2011 were $411 and $505, respectively.  Amounts are paid to participants only after termination of their employment.  The retiree medical liability relates to a frozen plan that consists of the discounted future claims the Company expects to pay for certain retiree benefits based on claims history and the terms of the benefit agreements.
 
14. Income Taxes
The Company’s income tax provision for the quarter ended March 25, 2012 resulted in tax expense of $861 at an effective rate of 10.5%.  The Company’s income tax provision for the year-to-date period ended March 25, 2012 resulted in tax expense of $2,940 at an effective rate of 108.1%.  The income tax rate for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended March 25, 2012 is different from the U.S. statutory rate due to losses in tax jurisdictions for which no tax benefit could be recognized, foreign dividends taxed in the U.S. and abroad, and earnings attributable to foreign operations which are taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate.  The effective income tax rate can be affected over the fiscal year by the mix and timing of actual earnings from U.S. operations and foreign sources versus annual projections and changes in foreign currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar.  As a result, the Company’s effective tax rate may fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis.
 
The Company’s income tax provision for the quarter ended March 27, 2011 resulted in tax benefit of $166 at an effective tax rate of 3.9%.  The Company’s income tax provision for the year-to-date period ended March 27, 2011 resulted in tax expense of $4,205 at an effective rate of 26.6%.  The income tax rate for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended March 27, 2011 is different from the U.S. statutory rate due to losses from one of the Company’s equity affiliates, increases in uncertain tax positions, and foreign operations taxed at rates lower than in the U.S., which was partially offset by foreign dividends taxed in the U.S.

Deferred income taxes have been provided for the temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities.  In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences reverse.  Management considers the scheduled reversal of taxable temporary differences, taxable income in carryback periods, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.  The Company currently has a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets in the U.S. and certain foreign subsidiaries due to negative evidence concerning the realization of those deferred tax assets in recent years.  The projected benefits of the planned refinancing (see “Footnote 29. Subsequent Events”) on the Company’s future taxable income have not been considered as the refinancing is contingent upon the future actions of other parties that are not under the Company’s control, and any such benefits should only be recognized when incurred.  The Company continues to evaluate both positive and negative evidence to determine whether and when the valuation allowance, or a portion thereof, should be released.  A release of the valuation allowance could have a material effect on the Company’s income tax expense and the resulting net earnings in the period of release.
 
During the fiscal year ended June 26, 2011, the Company changed its indefinite reinvestment assertion related to approximately $26,630 of the earnings and profits held by Unifi do Brasil, Ltda. (“UDB”).  During the current fiscal year, the Company has had a net increase in the assertion to $30,360 including a net decrease of $2,490 during the third quarter of fiscal year 2012.  The Company has adjusted the deferred tax liability to reflect the additional income tax that would be due as a result of the current plan to repatriate in future periods.  All remaining undistributed earnings are deemed to be indefinitely reinvested and accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes is required to be provided.
 
The Company is subject to income tax examinations for U.S. federal income taxes for fiscal years 2005 through 2011, for non-U.S. income taxes for tax years 2002 through 2011, and for state and local income taxes for fiscal years 2001 through 2011.
 
There have been no significant changes in the Company’s liability for uncertain tax positions since June 26, 2011.  The Company’s estimate for the potential outcome for any uncertain tax issue is highly judgmental.  Management believes that any reasonably foreseeable outcomes related to these matters have been adequately provided for.  However, future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to estimated tax liabilities in the period the assessments are made or resolved or when statutes of limitation on potential assessments expire.
 
15.  Shareholders’ Equity
No dividends have been paid during the last two fiscal years. The Indenture governing the 2014 notes and the First Amended Credit Agreement restricts the Company’s ability to pay dividends or make distributions on its common stock.
 
Effective July 26, 2000, the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”) authorized the repurchase of up to 3,333 shares of its common stock of which approximately 1,064 shares were subsequently repurchased.  The repurchase program was suspended in November 2003.  There is remaining authority for the Company to repurchase approximately 2,269 shares of its common stock under the repurchase plan.  The repurchase plan has no stated expiration or termination date.
 
16. Stock Based Compensation
On October 29, 2008, the shareholders of the Company approved the 2008 Unifi, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2008 LTIP”). The 2008 LTIP authorized the issuance of up to 2,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the grant or exercise of stock options, including incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and restricted stock, but not more than 1,000 shares may be issued as restricted stock. Option awards are granted with an exercise price not less than the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant.  The 2008 LTIP replaced the 1999 Unifi, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan (“1999 LTIP”).  The 2008 LTIP is the Company’s sole share-based compensation plan, except that prior grants under the 1999 LTIP remain subject to that plan’s provisions.
 
Stock options subject to service conditions:
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, under the 2008 LTIP the Compensation Committee (“Compensation Committee”) of the Board authorized, and the Company issued, 127 stock options to certain key employees.  The stock options vest ratably over the required three year service period and have ten year contractual terms.  The exercise price of the options is $12.47 per share.  The Company used the Black-Scholes model to estimate the weighted average grant date fair value of $7.88 per share.  The valuation model used the following assumptions for the options granted in fiscal year 2012:
Expected terms (years)	 	 	6.3	 	
Interest rate	 	 	2.0	%	
Volatility	 	 	68.2	%	
Dividend yield	 	 	—	 	
 
The Company uses historical data to estimate the expected life, volatility and estimated forfeitures of an option.  The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.

Restricted stock units – non-employee directors:
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, under the 2008 LTIP the Compensation Committee authorized, and the Company issued, 49 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to the Company’s non-employee directors.  The RSUs became fully vested on the grant date.  The RSUs convey no rights of ownership in shares of Company stock until such RSUs have been distributed to the grantee in the form of Company stock.  The vested RSUs will be converted into an equivalent number of shares of Company common stock and distributed to the grantee following the grantee’s termination of services as a member of the Board.  The grantee may elect to defer receipt of the shares of stock in accordance with the deferral options provided under the Unifi, Inc. Director Deferred Compensation Plan.  The Company estimated the fair value of the award to be $9.10 per RSU based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the award grant date.
 
A summary of the Company’s RSUs issued to non-employee directors as of March 25, 2012 and changes during the current fiscal year are as follows:

Restricted stock units – key employees:
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, the Compensation Committee authorized, and the Company issued, 64 RSUs from the 2008 LTIP to certain key employees.  The RSUs are subject to a vesting restriction and convey no rights of ownership in shares of Company stock until such RSUs have vested and been distributed to the grantee in the form of Company stock.  The RSUs vest ratably over a three year period.  The RSUs will be converted into an equivalent number of shares of stock on each vesting date and distributed to the grantee, or the grantee may elect to defer the receipt of the shares of stock until separation from service.  If after July 27, 2012 and prior to the final vesting date the grantee has a separation from service without cause, the remaining unvested RSUs will become fully vested and will be converted to an equivalent number of shares of stock and issued to the grantee.  The Company estimated the grant-date fair value of the award to be $12.47 per RSU based on the fair value of the Company’s stock at the award grant date.

20.   Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company may use derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts or interest rate swaps for purposes of reducing its ongoing business exposures to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates or interest rates.  The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes.
 
Interest rate swaps:
On February 15, 2011, the Company entered into a twenty-seven month, $25,000 interest rate swap with Bank of America, N.A. to provide a hedge against the variability of cash flows (monthly interest expense payments) on the first $25,000 of LIBOR-based variable rate borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility.  The interest rate swap allows the Company to fix the LIBOR rate at 1.39%.  On August 5, 2011, the Company entered into a twenty-one month, $10,000 interest rate swap to provide a hedge against the variability of cash flows related to additional variable rate borrowings under the revolving credit facility.  This interest rate swap allows the Company to fix the LIBOR rate at 0.75%.
 
The Company has designated these swaps as cash flow hedges and determined that the hedges have been and still are highly effective.  At March 25, 2012, the amount of loss recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income for the Company’s cash flow hedge derivative instruments was $353.  For the year-to-date period ended March 25, 2012, the Company did not reclassify any gains (losses) from accumulated other comprehensive income to net income and does not expect to do so during the next twelve months.
 
Foreign currency forward contracts:
The Company or its subsidiaries may enter into foreign currency forward contracts as economic hedges for exposures related to certain sales, inventory purchases and equipment purchases which are denominated in currencies that are not its functional currency.  As of March 25, 2012, the latest maturity date for all outstanding foreign currency forward contracts is during May 2012.  These items are not designated as hedges by the Company and are marked-to-market each period and offset by the foreign exchange gains (losses) resulting from the underlying exposures of the foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.

By entering into derivative instrument contracts, the Company exposes itself to counterparty credit risk.  The Company attempts to minimize this risk by selecting counterparties with investment grade credit ratings, limiting the amount of exposure to any single counterparty and regularly monitoring its market position with each counterparty.  The Company’s derivative instruments do not contain any credit-risk related contingent features.

22.  Restructuring Charges
On January 11, 2010, the Company announced the creation of Unifi Central America, Ltda. de C.V. (“UCA”).  With a base of operations established in El Salvador, UCA serves customers primarily in the Central American region.  The Company began dismantling and relocating certain polyester equipment from its Yadkinville, North Carolina facility to the region during the third quarter of fiscal year 2010 and completed the startup of the UCA manufacturing facility in the second quarter of fiscal year 2011. The costs incurred for equipment relocation costs to UCA and reinstalling previously idled texturing equipment to replace the manufacturing capacity at the Company’s Yadkinville, North Carolina facility were charged to restructuring expense as incurred.

For the nine month period ended March 25, 2012, the Company’s Brazilian operation recorded a gain of $1,488 from a refund of non-income related taxes plus interest. In Brazil, indirect taxes applicable to the manufacturing industry are levied at the federal and state government levels. These indirect taxes levied include PIS/COFINS which is a federal tax levied on an entity’s gross revenues.  During the 2000-2004 tax years, this tax was incorrectly levied on the interest income of manufacturing companies and was subsequently challenged in the Brazilian courts.  In the December quarter, the Company was informed that the taxes charged would be refunded with interest.
 
In the second quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company recorded $450 for costs associated with an unsuccessful bond refinancing.  In the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company recorded an additional $78 associated with the unsuccessful bond refinancing.

25.   Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates and Variable Interest Entities
Parkdale America, LLC
In June 1997, the Company and Parkdale Mills, Inc. (“Mills”) entered into a Contribution Agreement that set forth the terms and conditions by which the two companies contributed all of the assets of their spun cotton yarn operations utilizing open-end and air-jet spinning technologies to create Parkdale America, LLC (“PAL”).  In exchange for its contribution, the Company received a 34% ownership interest in PAL which is accounted for using the equity method of accounting.  Effective January 1, 2012, Mills' interest in PAL was assigned to Parkdale Incorporated.  PAL’s fiscal year end is the Saturday nearest to December 31 and is a limited liability company treated as a partnership for income tax reporting purposes.  PAL is a producer of cotton and synthetic yarns for sale to the textile and apparel markets located throughout North and South America.  PAL has 13 manufacturing facilities located primarily in southeast region of the U.S.  According to its most recently issued audited financial statements, PAL’s five largest customers accounted for approximately 80% of total gross sales and 72% of total gross accounts receivable outstanding.
 
In August 2008, a federal government program commenced providing economic adjustment assistance to domestic users of upland cotton.  The program offers a subsidy for cotton consumed in domestic production and the subsidy is paid the month after the eligible cotton is consumed.  The subsidy must be used within eighteen months after the marketing year earned to purchase qualifying capital expenditures in the U.S. for production of goods from upland cotton.  The marketing year is from August 1 to July 31.  The program currently provides a subsidy of four cents per pound through July 31, 2012 and three cents per pound for six years thereafter.  The Company recognizes its share of PAL’s income for the cotton subsidy when the cotton has been consumed and the qualifying assets have been acquired with an appropriate allocation methodology considering the dual criteria of the subsidy.
 
On October 28, 2009, PAL acquired certain real property and machinery and equipment, as well as entered into lease agreements for certain real property, machinery and equipment, which constitute most of the yarn manufacturing operations of Hanesbrands Inc. (“HBI”).  PAL also entered into a yarn supply agreement with HBI to supply at least 95% of the yarn used in the manufacturing of its apparel products at any of its locations in North America, Central America or the Caribbean Basin for a six-year period with an option for HBI to extend the agreement for two additional three-year periods.
 
On March 30, 2011, PAL amended its revolving credit facility to increase the maximum borrowing capacity from $100,000 to $200,000 and extend the maturity date from October 28, 2012 to July 31, 2014.  PAL’s revolving credit facility charges a variable interest rate based on either the prime rate or LIBOR rate plus an applicable percentage.  PAL’s revolving credit facility also has covenants in place such as an annual limit on capital expenditures, a minimum fixed-charge coverage ratio and a minimum leverage ratio. PAL informed the Company that as of March 2012, PAL’s cash on-hand was $37,666, outstanding borrowings on the revolving credit facility were $55,000 and PAL was in compliance with all debt covenants.
 
PAL is subject to price risk related to fixed-price yarn sales.  To protect the gross margin of these sales, PAL may enter into cotton futures to manage changes in raw material costs.  The derivative instruments used are listed and traded on an exchange and are thus valued using quoted prices classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.  PAL may also designate certain futures contracts as cash flow hedges with the effective portion of gains and losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income until the underlying transactions are recognized in income.  As of March 2012, PAL’s accumulated other comprehensive income was comprised of gains related to futures contracts totaling $27.  Any ineffective portion of changes in fair value of cash flow hedges are recognized in earnings as they occur.  All of PAL’s other derivatives not designated as hedges are marked-to-market each period with the changes in fair value recognized in current period earnings.  In addition, PAL may enter into forward contracts for certain cotton purchases, which qualify as derivative instruments.  However, these contracts meet the applicable criteria to qualify for the “normal purchases or normal sales” exemption.
 
As of March 25, 2012, the Company’s investment in PAL was $94,174 and is shown within Investments in unconsolidated affiliates in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The reconciliation between the Company’s share of the underlying equity of PAL and its investment is as follows:
Underlying equity at March 2012	 	$	112,786	 	
Initial excess capital contributions	 	 	53,363	 	
Impairment charge recorded in fiscal year 2007	 	 	(74,106	)

U.N.F. Industries, Ltd.
In September 2000, the Company and Nilit Ltd. (“Nilit”) formed a 50/50 joint venture, U.N.F. Industries Ltd. (“UNF”), for the purpose of operating nylon extrusion assets to manufacture nylon POY.  UNF’s eight extruders are located at Nilit’s production facilities in Migdal Ha-Emek, Israel.  All raw material and production services for UNF are provided by Nilit under separate supply and services agreements.  UNF’s fiscal year end is December 31st and it is a registered Israeli private company.
 
UNF America, LLC
In October 2009, the Company and Nilit America Inc. (“Nilit America”) formed a 50/50 joint venture, UNF America LLC (“UNF America”), for the purpose of operating a nylon extrusion facility which manufactures nylon POY.  UNF America’s four extruders are located in Ridgeway, Virginia and are operated by Nilit America.  All raw material and production services for UNF America are provided by Nilit America under separate supply and services agreements.  UNF America’s fiscal year end is December 31st and it is a limited liability company treated as a partnership for income tax reporting purposes.

In conjunction with the formation of UNF America, the Company entered into a supply agreement with UNF and UNF America whereby the Company agreed to purchase all of its first quality nylon POY requirements for texturing (subject to certain exceptions) from either UNF or UNF America.  The agreement has no stated minimum purchase quantities.  Pricing under this supply agreement is negotiated every six months, based on market rates.  As of March 25, 2012, the Company’s open purchase orders related to this agreement were $4,479.
 
The Company’s raw material purchases under this supply agreement were as follows:
 	For the Nine Months Ended	 	
 	March 25, 2012	 	March 27, 2011	 	
UNF	 	$	10,294	 	 	$	16,093	 	
UNF America	 	 	12,446	 	 	 	14,039	 	
Total	 	$	22,740	 	 	$	30,132	 	
 
As of March 25, 2012 and June 26, 2011, the Company had combined outstanding accounts payable due to UNF and UNF America of $4,504 and $4,124, respectively.
 
As of March 2012, the Company’s combined investments in UNF and UNF America were $3,709 and are shown within Investments in unconsolidated affiliates in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The financial results of UNF and UNF America are included in the Company’s financial statements with a one month lag, using the equity method of accounting and with intercompany profits eliminated in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy.  The Company has determined that UNF and UNF America are variable interest entities (“VIEs”), the Company is the primary beneficiary and, under U.S. GAAP, the Company should consolidate the two entities.  As the Company purchases substantially all of the output from the two entities, and, as the two entities’ balance sheets constitute less than 2.0% of the Company’s current assets, total assets and total liabilities, the Company has not included the accounts of UNF and UNF America in its consolidated financial statements. Other than the supply agreement discussed above, the Company does not provide any other commitments or guarantees related to either UNF or UNF America.
 
Unaudited, condensed balance sheet and income statement information for the Company’s unconsolidated affiliates is as follows.  As PAL is defined as significant, its information is separately disclosed.  The operating results of Renewables are included through the end of the Company’s first quarter of fiscal year 2012, and thereafter Renewables’ results have been consolidated.

26. Commitments and Contingencies
Environmental
On September 30, 2004, the Company completed its acquisition of the polyester filament manufacturing assets located in Kinston, North Carolina from INVISTA S.a.r.l. (“INVISTA”).  The land for the Kinston site 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 contamination 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 Company’s 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 DuPont’s 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.  DuPont’s 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.
 
27. Related Party Transactions
During fiscal year 2012, the Company has had sales to Cupron Medical, Inc. (“Cupron”).  Mr. William J. Armfield, IV, is a member of the Company’s Board and is a current shareholder of Cupron.
 
On December 19, 2011, the Company and Dillon entered into an amendment of an existing sales and service agreement.  The amendment provides for a one year term beginning in January 2012 and consideration of $106 paid quarterly.  Mr. Mitchel Weinberger is a member of the Company’s Board and the President and Chief Operating Officer of Dillon.  For a discussion of the nature of all other related party relationships see “Footnote 27. Related Party Transactions” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 26, 2011.

28. Business Segment Information
The Company has three operating segments which are also its reportable segments.  Each reportable segment derives its revenues as follows:
 	●	The Polyester segment manufactures recycled Chip, POY, textured, dyed, twisted and beamed yarns with sales primarily to other yarn manufacturers, knitters and weavers that produce yarn and/or fabric for the apparel, automotive upholstery, hosiery, home furnishings, industrial and other end-use markets.  The Polyester segment consists of manufacturing operations in the U.S. and El Salvador.	

 	●	The Nylon segment manufactures textured nylon and covered spandex yarns with sales to knitters and weavers that produce fabric for the apparel, hosiery, sock and other end-use markets.  The Nylon segment consists of manufacturing operations in the U.S. and Colombia.	

 	●	The International segment’s products primarily include textured polyester and various types of resale yarns. The International segment sells its yarns to knitters and weavers that produce fabric for the apparel, automotive upholstery, home furnishings, industrial and other end-use markets primarily in the South American and Asian regions.  This segment includes manufacturing and sales offices in Brazil and a sales office in China.	
 
The Company evaluates the operating performance of its segments based upon Segment Adjusted Profit which is defined as segment gross profit plus segment depreciation and amortization less segment related SG&A and segment other adjustments.  Segment operating profit represents segment net sales less cost of sales, restructuring and impairment charges and SG&A expenses.  The accounting policies for the segments are consistent with the Company’s accounting policies.  Intersegment sales are accounted for at current market prices.  Selected financial information for the Polyester, Nylon and International segments is presented below:

29.  Subsequent Events
On April 24, 2012, the Company entered into a commitment letter for a $150,000 senior secured credit facility (“ABL Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”) and Bank of America, N.A.  The ABL Facility will consist of a $100,000 revolving credit facility (“ABL Revolver”) and a $50,000 term loan (“ABL Term Loan”).  Wells Fargo will serve as the administrative agent, sole lead arranger and sole book runner.  In addition, the Company entered into a commitment letter with MacKay Shields LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, solely in its capacity as investment adviser or subadviser with investment authority for certain discretionary client accounts, for the incurrence of a $30,000 term loan (“Term B Loan”).  Wilmington Trust National Association (“Wilmington Trust”) will serve as the administrative agent under the Term B Loan.   The purpose of the ABL Facility and the Term B Loan is to, among other things, refinance the Company’s existing indebtedness including the redemption of the 2014 notes and to repay in full and terminate the existing First Amended Credit Agreement.  The ABL Facility and the Term B Loan will become effective on May 24, 2012 (the “Closing Date”) and the ABL Revolver, ABL Term Loan, and Term B Loan each have a maturity date of May 24, 2017.
 
As previously disclosed, the Company called for redemption in full of the $123,722 remaining principal amount of the outstanding 2014 notes at par and announced that it will repay in full and terminate the existing First Amended Credit Agreement, which had an outstanding principal balance of $35,000 as of March 25, 2012.  The Company plans to finance these transactions (plus related debt refinancing expenses and fees) by using approximately $22,000 of cash, $60,000 of borrowings under the ABL Revolver, $50,000 of borrowings under the ABL Term Loan and $30,000 of borrowings under the Term B Loan.

(amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)

The ABL Facility will be secured by a first-priority perfected security interest in substantially all owned or hereafter acquired property and assets, together with all proceeds and products thereof, of the Company, Unifi Manufacturing, Inc. and its subsidiary guarantors (the “Loan Parties”) other than the assets to which the Loan Parties have a second-priority lien.  It will also be secured by a first priority perfected security interest in all of the stock of (or other ownership interests in) each of the Loan Parties (other than the Company) and certain subsidiaries of the Loan Parties;  provided , that only 65% of the stock of (or other ownership interests in) first tier controlled foreign corporations will be pledged, together with all proceeds and products thereof.  The ABL Facility will further be secured by a second-priority lien on the Company’s indirect limited liability company membership interest in PAL.  The Term B Loan will be secured by a first-priority lien on the Company’s indirect limited liability company membership interest in PAL and a second-priority lien on the ABL Facility first-priority collateral described above.  Wells Fargo and Wilmington Trust will enter into an intercreditor agreement (“Intercreditor Agreement”) on May 24, 2012 to confirm the relative priority of their respective security interests.
 
The ABL Facility will include representations and warranties to be made by the Loan Parties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default that are usual and customary for financings of this type.  Should excess availability under the ABL Revolver fall below the greater of $10,000 or 15% of maximum availability under the ABL Revolver, the ABL Facility also contains a financial covenant requiring the Loan Parties to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio on a monthly basis of at least 1.05 to 1.0.  In addition, the ABL Facility contains certain restricted payment and restricted investment provisions.  The Term B Loan contains representations and warranties, affirmative and negative, covenants and events of default comparable to those included in the ABL Facility. 
 
The Company’s ability to borrow under the ABL Revolver (which under certain circumstances may be increased or decreased) will be limited to a borrowing base equal to specified percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory and is subject to certain conditions and limitations.  Borrowings under the ABL Revolver will bear interest at rates of either a LIBOR Rate plus an Applicable Margin of 1.75% to 2.25% or the Base Rate plus an Applicable Margin of 0.75% to 1.25%.  The “Base Rate” means the greatest of (i) the prime lending rate as publicly announced from time to time by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, and (iii) the LIBOR rate plus 1.0%.  The “LIBOR Rate” is available for interest periods of one, two, three or six months.  The “Applicable Margin” is based on the average quarterly excess availability under the ABL Revolver.  There will be an unused line fee under the ABL Revolver of 0.25% to 0.375% of the unused line amount.  Under the terms of the ABL Facility, the Company is required to hedge at least $50 million of the variable interest rate exposure (so long as funded debt with variable interest rates exceeds $75 million).The Company will have the ability to request that the borrowing capacity of the ABL Revolver be increased to as much as $150,000, at the discretion of the participating lenders.
 
The ABL Term Loan will be repaid in quarterly installments of $1,800 commencing on September 1, 2012 and continuing on the first day of each December, March, June and September thereafter, together with a final installment of all remaining unpaid principal (and all accrued and unpaid interest) coming due on the maturity date.  The ABL Term Loan will bear interest at rates of the LIBOR Rates plus an Applicable Margin of 2.25% to 2.75% or the Base Rate plus an Applicable Margin of 1.25% to 1.75% depending upon the Company’s level of excess borrowing availability.  The ABL Term Loan may be prepaid at par, in whole or in part, at any time before the maturity date, at the Company’s discretion, subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.
 
The Term B Loan bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 7.50% (with a LIBOR floor of 1.25%) with interest payable monthly.  The Term B Loan does not amortize and prepayments are only required if PAL after-tax distributions are received by the Company (100% of such distributions up to the first $3,000 and 50% thereafter), the Company sells all or any part of its membership interest in PAL or under certain other circumstances specified within the Intercreditor Agreement described above.  The Company may prepay the Term B Loan at any time subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, in whole or in part, with a call premium of 3% during the first year, 2% during the second year, 1% during the third year and at par thereafter.
 
The conditions of the lenders’ obligations to fund the ABL Facility and the Term B Loan include the delivery of all required documents, that no event of default has occurred before or on the Closing Date, that the Company will have at least $22,500 of excess borrowing base availability under the ABL Revolver after the initial extensions of credit and payment of all expenses required to be paid by the Company on the Closing Date and that there has not been the occurrence of any material adverse change.  Each of the ABL Facility and the Term B Loan are conditioned upon the consummation and performance of the other.  The closings of the ABL Facility and the Term B Loan are also subject to additional customary closing conditions and are expected to fund simultaneously with the redemption of the 2014 notes.
 
The Company evaluated all events and material transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through such time as these statements were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and determined there were no other items deemed reportable.

In accordance with the Indenture governing the Company’s 2014 notes, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries have guaranteed the notes, jointly and severally, on a senior secured basis.
 
The following presents the condensed consolidating financial statements separately for:
 	●	Parent company, the issuer of the guaranteed obligations;	

 	●	Guarantor subsidiaries, on a combined basis, as specified in the Indenture;	

 	●	Non-guarantor subsidiaries, on a combined basis;	

 	●	Consolidating entries and eliminations representing adjustments to (a) eliminate intercompany transactions, (b) eliminate intercompany profit in inventory, (c) eliminate investments in its subsidiaries and (d) record consolidating entries; and	

 	●	Parent company, on a consolidated basis.	
 
Each subsidiary guarantor is 100% owned by Unifi, Inc. or its wholly-owned subsidiary, Unifi Manufacturing, Inc. and all guarantees are full and unconditional.  The non-guarantor subsidiaries predominantly represent the foreign subsidiaries which do not guarantee the 2014 notes.  Each entity in the consolidating financial information follows the same accounting policies as described in the consolidated financial statements.  Supplemental financial information for the Company and its guarantor subsidiaries and non-guarantor subsidiaries for the 2014 notes is presented below.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following is Management’s discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected the Company’s operations and material changes in financial condition during the periods included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.

Forward-Looking Statements
The following discussion contains certain forward-looking statements about the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Forward-looking statements are those that do not relate solely to historical fact.  They include, but are not limited to, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results, performance, achievements or events.  They may contain words such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “project,” “plan,” “will,” or words or phrases of similar meaning.  The forward looking statements made herein include, without limitation, statements concerning the Company’s planned debt refinancing (including the new credit facility, Term B loan, and anticipated redemption of the 2014 notes).  They may relate to, among other things, the risks described below:
 	●	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;	

 	●	the ability to reduce production costs;	

 	●	changes in currency exchange rates, interest and inflation rates;	

 	●	the financial condition of the Company’s customers;	

 	●	the 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 accurate financial reporting of information from equity method investees;	

 	●	the impact of environmental, health and safety regulations;	

 	●	the loss of a material customer(s);	

 	●	the ability to protect intellectual property;	

 	●	employee relations;	

 	●	volatility of financial and credit markets;	

 	●	the continuity of the Company’s leadership;	

 	●	availability of and access to credit on reasonable terms;	

 	●	the possibility that the Company is unable to meet the closing conditions under the new senior secured credit facility and Term B loan; and	

 	●	the success of the Company’s strategic business initiatives.	

These forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s 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.  These risks and uncertainties may include those discussed above.  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.

Business Overview
The Company processes and sells high-volume commodity yarns, specialized yarns designed to meet certain customer specifications, and premier value-added (“PVA”) yarns with enhanced performance characteristics and higher expected gross margin percentages.  The Company sells its polyester and nylon products primarily to other yarn manufacturers and knitters and weavers that produce fabric for the apparel, hosiery, sock, home furnishings, automotive upholstery, industrial and other end-use markets.  The Company maintains one of the industry’s most comprehensive product offerings and has ten manufacturing operations in four countries and participates in joint ventures in Israel and the U.S.  In addition, the Company has a wholly-owned subsidiary in China focused on the sale and promotion of the Company’s specialty and PVA products in the Asian textile market, primarily in China.

The Company’s operations are managed in three operating segments, each of which is a reportable segment for financial reporting purposes:

Polyester Segment.  The Polyester segment manufactures recycled Chip, partially oriented yarn (“POY”), textured, dyed, twisted and beamed yarns with sales primarily to other yarn manufacturers, knitters and weavers that produce yarn and/or fabric for the apparel, automotive upholstery, hosiery, home furnishings, industrial and other end-use markets.  The Polyester segment consists of manufacturing operations in the U.S. and El Salvador.

Nylon Segment.  The Nylon segment manufactures textured nylon and covered spandex yarns with sales to knitters and weavers that produce fabric for the apparel, hosiery, sock and other end-use markets.  The Nylon segment consists of manufacturing operations in the U.S. and Colombia.

International Segment.  The International segment’s products primarily include textured polyester and various types of resale yarns. The International segment sells its yarns to knitters and weavers that produce fabric for the apparel, automotive upholstery, home furnishings, industrial and other end-use markets primarily in the South American and Asian regions.  This segment includes manufacturing and sales offices in Brazil and a sales office in China.

Recent Developments
Company Outlook: The Company expects operating profit improvements in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 as a result of higher sales volume (due to the lessening effect of the inventory destocking and signs of improvement in the Brazilian textile market) and improving gross margins (due to easing raw material costs and lower converting costs).

Deleveraging Strategy: The planned refinancing will allow the Company to extend the maturity profile of its indebtedness out to May 2017 and will generate approximately $9,000 of annual interest expense savings.  The Company believes that this new financing will accelerate its deleveraging strategy as well as to provide the flexibility to explore strategic initiatives designed to leverage its core competencies and grow its business within key market segments.

Raw Materials: Raw material costs for polyester for the March 2012 quarter declined approximately 1 cent per pound on average compared to the December 2011 quarter.  However, the average polyester raw material costs for the first three quarters of fiscal year 2012 continue to remain at the highest levels in over thirty years.  In addition, Asian imported yarns have become more competitive as the U.S.-Asia gap in polymer pricing has grown to between 7 to 14 cents per pound on average for this fiscal year to date period versus 2 to 5 cents per pound for the prior fiscal year to date period and continues to place pressure on the Company’s commodity business.

Inventory Destocking: The Company believes that inventory in the apparel supply chain reached elevated levels during the first quarter of the Company’s current fiscal year, and producers and wholesalers reacted to the elevated inventory levels by curtailing purchases from August to December 2011.  The Company reacted by adjusting its production below its sales levels in order to reduce its on-hand inventory units.  As a result of the Company’s actions, the production volume and per unit manufacturing costs of the Company’s Polyester and Nylon segments have been negatively impacted for the year to date period.  Despite continued declines of inventories throughout the supply chain and at retail, current indications suggest improvement in the Company’s key market segments and allowed the Company to increase its production levels during the third quarter.

Brazil: The strengthening of the Brazilian Real during previous quarters began to negatively impact the competitiveness of the local apparel supply chain by making imports of competing fibers, garments and apparel more competitively priced.  The return of the Real to more normalized levels during the most recent fiscal quarter and the initiatives taken by the Brazilian government to help support the domestic manufacturers have helped shift demand back to the domestic Brazilian textile producers and increased demand throughout the current quarter.  For the fiscal year to date period versus the prior year period, the Brazil operation, due to the long supply chain for the procurement of its raw materials, has also been negatively impacted by the cost of higher priced inventory flowing through the operation.  Lower sales and production volume have also caused unfavorable increases in production costs due to lower utilization percentages as well as higher spending due to inflationary increases for employee costs and power.

PVA: Domestically, PVA sales volume held stronger than the remainder of the business and increased versus the prior year quarter.  Internationally, PVA sales volume was negatively impacted by the results in Brazil and the temporary delay of orders from a large volume customer for the Chinese sales office.  The Company’s PVA products represent approximately 18% of its consolidated sales volume and REPREVE® continues to grow at a faster pace than other PVA products.

Inflation: The Company continues to be impacted by inflationary increases in areas such as employee costs and benefits, consumables and utility costs.  The Company attempts to mitigate the impacts of these rising costs through its operational efficiencies and increased selling prices.  Inflation may become a factor that begins to significantly impact the Company’s profitability.

Investment in Central America:  The CAFTA region which continues to be a competitive alternative to Asian supply chains, has in recent years maintained its share of synthetic apparel supply to U.S. retailers and continues to see ongoing investments being made in the region.  The Company expects to complete the installation of additional texturing capacity at its plant in El Salvador by the end of this fiscal year to take advantage of the long-term volume opportunities in this region.

Repreve Recycling Center:  The new recycling facility which opened in May 2011 allows the Company to expand the REPREVE® brand by increasing the amount and types of recyclable material that can be processed through its facilities and to develop and commercialize value-added products that meet the sustainability demands for brands and retailers.

Repreve Renewables, LLC: During the December 2011 quarter, the Company acquired an additional 20% ownership interest in Repreve Renewables, LLC (“Renewables”) bringing the Company’s current ownership to 60%.  The Company’s investment in Renewables,  which is a development stage company that focuses on cultivating and selling bio-mass crops for the bio-fuel and bio-power industries, is anticipated to provide the Company with a unique revenue stream and support its strategy to grow the REPREVE® brand and its sustainability initiatives.

U.S.-South Korean Free Trade Agreement: Even though the agreement was passed, the Company anticipates limited impact on its business as South Korea is not a low cost provider of textiles in comparison to other Asian countries and South Korea provides little or no export opportunities for the Company or for U.S. textile manufacturers.  The Company believes that the largest potential threats are caused by the failure of the agreement to address the potential damage from the lack of customs enforcement language and the exposure of illegal transshipments from China through South Korea.

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 Company’s business:
 	●	sales volume for the Company and for each of its reportable segments;	

 	●	gross profits and gross margin for the Company and for each of its reportable segments;	

 	●	Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (“EBITDA”) represents net income or loss attributable to Unifi, Inc. before net interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization expense (excluding interest portion of amortization);	

 	●	Adjusted EBITDA Including Equity Affiliates represents EBITDA adjusted to exclude restructuring charges, startup costs, non-cash compensation expense net of distributions, gains or losses on extinguishment of debt, loss on previously held equity interest, and other adjustments.  Other adjustments include gains or losses on sales or disposals of property, plant, or equipment (“PP&E”), currency and derivative gains or losses, employee severance and other non-operating income or expense.  The Company may, from time to time, change the items included within Adjusted EBITDA;	

 	●	Adjusted EBITDA represents Adjusted EBITDA Including Equity Affiliates excluding the earnings of unconsolidated affiliates;	

 	●	Segment Adjusted Profit equals segment gross profit plus segment depreciation and amortization less segment selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”), net of segment other adjustments;	

 	●	Adjusted Working Capital (receivables plus inventory less accounts payable and certain accrued expenses) and Adjusted Working Capital as a percentage of net sales are indicators of the Company’s production efficiency and ability to manage its inventory and receivables; and	

 	●	Working Capital represents current assets less current liabilities.	
 
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Including Equity Affiliates, Adjusted EBITDA, Segment Adjusted Profit and Adjusted Working Capital are financial measurements that management uses to facilitate its analysis and understanding of the Company’s business operations.  Management believes they are useful to investors because they provide a supplemental way to understand the underlying operating performance and debt service capacity of the Company.  The calculation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Including Equity Affiliates, Adjusted EBITDA, Segment Adjusted Profit and Adjusted Working Capital are subjective measures based on management’s belief as to which items should be included or excluded, in order to provide the most reasonable view of the underlying operating performance of the business.  EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Including Equity Affiliates, Adjusted EBITDA, Segment Adjusted Profit and Adjusted Working Capital are not considered to be in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“non-GAAP measurements”) and should not be considered a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Consolidated Net Sales
Net sales for the March 2012 quarter decreased by $353, or 0.2%, as compared to the prior year March quarter primarily due to a decline in sales volume for each of the Company’s reportable segments offset by an increase in the overall weighted average selling price.  On a consolidated basis, sales volume decreased by 3.4% due to volume declines of 2.4%, 10.8% and 2.8% in the Polyester, Nylon, and International reportable segments, respectively. The Company believes that the inventory destocking across the apparel supply chain, which had softened demand and negatively impacted its sales volumes throughout most of the current fiscal year including the first month of the current quarter, has ended and expects volume improvements in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012. Overall, the weighted average selling price increased by 3.2% as a result of raw material inflation and mix enrichment.

Consolidated Gross Profit
Gross profit for the March 2012 quarter decreased by $2,011, or 12.9%, as compared to the prior year March quarter. Gross profit declines were experienced in the Company’s Nylon and International segments primarily due to lower sales volumes in both segments and lower unit conversion margin in the International segment offset by an increase in gross profit in the Polyester segment.  In addition, the Company’s operation in Brazil was negatively impacted by less expensive imports which created a challenging competitive environment for local production, higher manufacturing costs due to lower utilization rates and inflationary cost increases.

Polyester Segment Gross Profit
The components of segment gross profit, each component as percentage of net sales and the percentage increase or decrease over the prior year amounts for the Polyester segment are as follows:
 	 	For the Three Months Ended	 	 	
 	 	March 25, 2012	 	March 27, 2011

Gross profit	 	$	5,859	 	5.7	 	$	3,738	 	3.9	 	56.7	

In the third quarter of fiscal year 2012, net sales for the polyester segment increased $5,578 or 5.8% compared to the prior year third quarter while sales volume decreased 2.4% and the weighted average selling price increased by 8.2% due to rising raw material costs and mix enrichment.

The increase of gross profit of $2,121 was primarily due to higher unit conversion margins for certain products as the Company recovered previously lost conversion margin partially offset by lower sales volume and slightly higher per unit manufacturing costs related to inflation.  The sales volume declines were driven by weak demand due to increased inventory in the U.S. apparel supply chain, a widened U.S.-Asia raw material gap and the decision of the Company to exit certain commodity business.    As previously mentioned, the Company believes the inventory destocking in the U.S. apparel supply chain has largely been completed as supply chain inventory levels have declined from the previous quarter and the Company experienced an increasing trend in shipments during the final two months of the current quarter.

The Polyester segment net sales and gross profit, as a percentage of total consolidated amounts, were 57.0% and 43.1% for the third quarter of fiscal year 2012, compared to 53.8% and 24.0% for the third quarter of fiscal year 2011.

Outlook:
The Company anticipates volume and profitability improvements for the Polyester segment in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 due to the recent signs of recovery in its key markets, the Company’s belief of an end to the inventory destocking and the Company’s expectation of the North American region’s ability to maintain its share against Asia subject to the Company’s ability to hold its conversion margins which are at historically high levels.

Nylon Segment Gross Profit
The components of segment gross profit, each component as percentage of net sales and the percentage increase or decrease over the prior year amounts for the Nylon segment are as follows:

Gross profit	 	$	3,401	 	8.7	 	$	3,644	 	9.1	 	(6.7)	

In the third quarter of fiscal year 2012, net sales for the Nylon segment decreased $853 or 2.1% compared to the prior year third quarter as sales volume decreased 10.8% and the weighted average selling price increased by 8.7% primarily due to increases in raw material prices and mix enrichment.

44

 

The decline of gross profit of $244 was primarily due to lower sales volume and higher converting costs.  The sales volume decline was a result of lower shipments into the apparel, furnishings and industrial applications as well as lower sales volume as inventory destocking continued through the holiday shutdown period during the first month of the third fiscal quarter of 2012.  The higher converting costs were due to the unfavorable effects of the lower production levels caused by the inventory destocking and the holiday shutdown period.

The Nylon segment net sales and gross profit, as a percentage of total consolidated amounts, were 21.9% and 25.0% for the third quarter of fiscal year 2012, compared to 22.3% and 23.4% for the third quarter of fiscal year 2011.

Outlook:
With the Company’s belief of the end of the inventory destocking and the North American region’s ability to maintain its share against Asia, the Company anticipates volume and profitability improvements for the Nylon segment in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012.

International Segment Gross Profit
The components of segment gross profit, each component as percentage of net sales and the percentage increase or decrease over the prior year amounts for the International segment are as follows:
 	 	For the Three Months Ended

 	 	 	 	 	% to

Cost of sales	 	 	33,465	 	88.5	 	 	34,654	 	80.8	 	(3.4)	
Gross profit	 	$	4,330	 	11.5	 	$	8,219	 	19.2	 	(47.3)	

In the third quarter of fiscal year 2012, net sales for the International segment decreased $5,078 or 11.8%, compared to the prior year third quarter, as sales volume decreased 2.8% and weighted average selling price decreased by 9.0%.

The decline in gross profit of $3,889 was primarily due to lower sales volumes, lower unit conversion margins, higher unit manufacturing costs, and currency translation as a result of exchange rate changes between the Brazilian Real and the U.S. dollar.  The decline in sales volumes was driven by an 18.0% decrease in volume at the Company’s Chinese subsidiary, partially offset by a 1.2% increase in volume at the Brazilian subsidiary.  In Brazil, resale yarn sales volume increased 49.8% while manufactured yarn sales volume declined 11.1%. The decline in conversion margins in Brazil were due to increased imports of competing yarn, fabric and garments becoming more competitive alternatives as well as the mix effects of increased resale yarn as a percent of total sales.  Compared to the prior year quarter, Brazil’s manufacturing costs increased due to inflation, salary increases and higher power costs as well as the negative impacts of lower production and plant utilization caused by lower demand.

The International segment net sales and gross profit, as a percentage of total consolidated amounts, were 21.1% and 31.9% for the third quarter of fiscal year 2012, compared to 23.9% and 52.6% for the third quarter of fiscal year 2011.

Outlook:
The Company expects improved operating results for the International segment during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year 2012 due to the expectation for continued volume and margin improvements for its Brazilian operation (in part due to the weakening of the local currency and the recent government support initiatives for the domestic textile producers) as well as improving sales volume for its Chinese sales office.

Consolidated Selling General & Administrative Expenses
Consolidated SG&A expenses increased in total and as a percentage of net sales for the March quarter as compared to the prior year quarter.  The Company’s SG&A expenses increased by $350 or 3.2% due to higher fringe benefit costs related to certain variable compensation programs and branding initiatives which were partially offset by a decrease in other employee related costs and administrative costs.

(Benefit) Provision for Bad Debts
The benefit for bad debt expense was $144 for the three months ended March 25, 2012, as compared to a provision for bad debt expenses of $41 recorded for the prior year quarter.  The decrease in the bad debt provision in the March 2012 quarter is a result of favorable changes in the aging of customer receivables while certain risk accounts remained unchanged.

Other operating expenses, net	 	$	669	 	 	$	158	 	

Other, net includes rental income and miscellaneous charges.

Interest Expense, Net
Net interest expense decreased from $4,432 in the March 2011 quarter to $3,618 in the March 2012 quarter.  The favorable decline in interest expense was primarily due to the lower average outstanding debt balance as a result of the Company’s redemptions of its 2014 notes.  These redemptions were financed through a mix of cash generated from operations and borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility which carries a lower average interest rate.  The weighted average interest rate of Company debt for the March 2012 quarter and the March 2011 quarter was 10.4% and 11.3%, respectively.

Outlook:
As a result of the continued implementation of the Company’s Deleveraging Strategy, the Company expects to incur approximately $3.6 million less interest expense, net for fiscal year 2012 versus fiscal year 2011.  As the Company continues to execute on its Deleveraging Strategy, the trend for declining interest expense is expected to continue.

Other Non-Operating (Income) Expenses
For the three months ended March 25, 2012, Other non-operating (income) expense consists of a $9 gain from the Company’s Brazilian operation related to a refund of non-income related taxes plus interest.  For the three months ended March 27, 2011, Other non-operating (income) expense consists of $2,193 for debt extinguishment charges and $78 for costs associated with an unsuccessful debt refinancing.

Equity in (Earnings) Losses of Unconsolidated Affiliates
The Company participates in joint ventures in the U.S. and in Israel.  As of March 25, 2012, the Company had $97,883 invested in these unconsolidated affiliates.  For the three months ended March 25, 2012, the Company’s $8,171 income before income taxes included $9,863 of income generated from its investments in these unconsolidated affiliates.  See “Footnote 25.  Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates and Variable Interest Entities” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q for a detailed discussion of the Company’s investments in these joint ventures.

For the three months ended March 25, 2012, earnings from the Company’s unconsolidated affiliates were $9,863 compared to losses of $2,103 for the three months ended March 27, 2011.  During these periods, the Company’s 34% share of PAL’s earnings increased from a loss of $2,450 to earnings of $9,720 due to PAL’s gross margins temporarily benefitting from the significant drop in the raw material portion of cost of goods sold, as recent declines in cotton costs were not immediately offset by a corresponding drop in selling prices primarily due to the lag in various of PAL’s index-based selling arrangements and contractual terms with customers.  PAL’s results for the three months ended March 27, 2011 included unfavorable derivative losses and its gross margins were similarly affected, inversely, by rapidly rising cotton costs and the related sales price lag.  The remaining decrease in the earnings of unconsolidated affiliates relates primarily to lower operating results of UNF and UNF America which was primarily driven by decreased sales volume and lower capacity utilization.

Outlook:
The Company expects its unconsolidated affiliates to continue to be impacted by lower expected sales volume with a return to expected sales volume and profitability by the end of the calendar year 2012 .

Income Taxes
The Company’s income tax provision for the quarter ended March 25, 2012 resulted in tax expense at an effective rate of 10.5% compared to the quarter ended March 27, 2011, which resulted in a tax benefit at an effective rate of 3.9%.  The difference between the Company’s income tax expense and the U.S. statutory rate for the quarter ended March 25, 2012 was primarily due to losses in tax jurisdictions for which no tax benefit could be recognized, foreign dividends taxed in the U.S. and abroad, and earnings attributable to foreign operations which are taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate.

The Company currently has a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets in the U.S. and certain foreign subsidiaries due to negative evidence concerning the realization of those deferred tax assets in recent years.  The Company continues to evaluate both positive and negative evidence to determine whether and when the valuation allowance, or a portion thereof, should be released.  A release of the valuation allowance could have a material effect on net earnings in the period of release.

The Company is subject to income tax examinations for U.S. federal income taxes for fiscal years 2005 through 2011, for non-U.S. income taxes for tax years 2002 through 2011, and for state and local income taxes for fiscal years 2001 through 2011.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Unifi, Inc.
Net income (loss) attributable to Unifi, Inc. for the March 2012 quarter was $7,535, or $0.38 per basic share, compared to net loss of $4,045, or $0.20 per basic share for the prior year March quarter.  The Company’s increased profitability was due primarily to higher earnings from its unconsolidated affiliates and lower net interest expenses partially offset by lower gross profits and higher SG&A expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA for the March 2012 quarter decreased $2,016 versus the prior year March quarter.  As discussed above, the $2,011 reduction in consolidated gross profit is the primary driver for the decline in Adjusted EBITDA.

Consolidated Net Sales
Net sales for the March 2012 year-to-date period increased by $539, or 0.1%, as compared to the prior year-to-date March period despite a decline in sales volume in each of the Company’s reportable segments.  Overall, sales volume decreased by 7.9% primarily due to softness caused by inventory destocking across the U.S. apparel supply chain and reduced demand in Brazil as result of increased imports of competing yarn, fabric and garments becoming more competitive alternatives, while the weighted average selling price increased by 8.0% due to raw material inflation and mix enrichment.

Consolidated Gross Profit
Gross profit for the March 2012 year-to-date period decreased by $20,335, or 35.9%, as compared to the prior year March year-to-date period. Gross profit declines were experienced in each of the Company’s reportable segments due to record-high raw material prices and lower sales volumes as demand decreased for most of the Company’s products due to inventory destocking within the U.S. apparel supply chain.  The Company also experienced lower capacity utilization in its manufacturing facilities and related increases in unit costs stemming from production volume declines as the Company reduced production volume below sales levels, in order to reduce its inventory levels.  In addition, the Company’s operation in Brazil was negatively impacted by less expensive imports which created a challenging competitive environment for local production, higher average raw material costs and higher manufacturing costs due to lower utilization rates and inflationary spending increases.

Polyester Segment Gross Profit
The components of segment gross profit, each component as percentage of net sales and the percentage increase or decrease over the prior year amounts for the Polyester segment are as follows:

Gross profit	 	$	11,810	 	4.1	 	$	19,222	 	7.2	 	(38.6)	

In the March year-to-date period of fiscal year 2012, net sales for the Polyester segment increased $21,940 or 8.2% compared to the prior year-to-date period as sales volume decreased 3.6% and the weighted average selling price increased by 11.8% due to the rise in polyester raw material costs.

The decline in gross profit of $7,412 was primarily due to lower sales volume, higher manufacturing costs and lower conversion margins for certain products.  The sales volume declines were driven by weak demand due to increased inventory in the U.S. apparel supply chain, a widened U.S.-Asia raw material gap and the decision of the Company to exit certain commodity business.  In an effort to reduce working capital and on-hand inventory levels, the segment adjusted down its production rate during the period to levels lower than the sales rate.  The lower utilization and production levels for the current period created an unfavorable impact on the segment’s manufacturing costs per unit sold which negatively impacted gross profit.  The rise in polyester raw material costs, (an increase in the average cost per pound of approximately 21% versus the prior year period), has negatively impacted the segment’s conversion margins during the year as not all cost increases could be passed along to customers.

The Polyester segment net sales and gross profit, as a percentage of total consolidated amounts, were 56.0% and 32.5% for the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2012, compared to 51.8% and 33.9% for the prior year-to-date period of fiscal year 2011.

Nylon Segment Gross Profit
The components of segment gross profit, each component as percentage of net sales and the percentage increase or decrease over the prior year amounts for the Nylon segment are as follows:
 	 	For the Nine Months Ended

Gross profit	 	$	12,279	 	10.3	 	$	14,559	 	12.0	 	(15.6)	

In the March year-to-date period of fiscal year 2012, net sales for the Nylon segment decreased $2,063 or 1.7% compared to the prior year-to-date period while sales volume decreased 12.6% and the weighted average selling price increased by 10.9% primarily due to an increase in raw material prices and mix enrichment.

The decline in gross profit of $2,279 was due to lower sales volume and higher manufacturing costs.  The sales volume decline was a result of lower shipments into the sock, hosiery and knit apparel applications as well as lower sales volume resulting from inventory destocking in the U.S. apparel supply chain.  The lower production and plant utilization for the period created an unfavorable change in the segment’s manufacturing costs but allowed for a reduction of on-hand inventory units.

The Nylon segment net sales and gross profit, as a percentage of total consolidated amounts, were 23.0% and 33.8% for the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2012, compared to 23.4% and 25.7% for the prior year-to-date period of fiscal year 2011.

International Segment Gross Profit
The components of segment gross profit, each component as percentage of net sales and the percentage increase or decrease over the prior year amounts for the International segment are as follows:

Gross profit	 	$	12,213	 	11.3	 	$	22,856	 	17.9	 	(46.6)	

In the March year-to-date period of fiscal year 2012, net sales for the International segment decreased $19,338 or 15.1%, compared to the prior year-to-date period, while sales volume decreased 15.7% and weighted average selling price increased by 0.6%.

48

 

The decline in gross profit of $10,643 was primarily due to lower sales volume, lower conversion margins and higher unit manufacturing costs in Brazil as well as lower sales volume in the Company’s Chinese operation.  Sales volume declines of approximately 14% and decreases in unit conversion margins in Brazil were due to increased imports of competing yarn, fabric and garments as imports became more competitive alternatives as a result of the appreciation of the local currency from January to August 2011 and higher average cost of raw materials.  Higher unit manufacturing costs in Brazil were due to lower capacity utilization as a result of lower production volume along with higher manufacturing costs due to inflation, salary increases and higher power costs.  Sales volume at the Company’s Chinese subsidiary was down approximately 23% versus the prior year-to-date period caused by a reduction in orders from the operation’s largest customer.

The International segment net sales and gross profit, as a percentage of total consolidated amounts, were 21.0% and 33.6% for the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2012, compared to 24.7% and 40.4% for the prior year-to-date period of fiscal year 2011.

Consolidated Selling General & Administrative Expenses
Consolidated SG&A expenses decreased in total and as a percentage of net sales for the March 2012 year-to-date period as compared to the prior year-to-date period.  Consolidated SG&A expenses decreased $964 or 2.9%, which was primarily a result of decreases in fringe benefit costs and other employee related costs and administrative costs.  The reduction in fringe benefit costs was mainly related to reductions in expenses for certain variable compensation programs.  These declines were partially offset by higher non-cash deferred compensation costs as well as increased salary costs and branding initiatives.

Provision for Bad Debts
The provision for bad debt expense was $418 for the nine months ended March 25, 2012, as compared to a provision of $86 recorded for the prior year-to-date period. The increased provision is a result of unfavorable changes in the aging of customer receivables and higher provision for certain risk accounts.

Restructuring Charges
During the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2011, the Company incurred $1,555 for costs related to the relocation of polyester equipment from Yadkinville, North Carolina to El Salvador and the reinstallation of previously idled texturing equipment to replace the manufacturing capacity at the Company’s Yadkinville facility.  These costs were charged to restructuring expense as incurred.

Other Operating Expenses, Net
The components of other operating expense, net are as follows:

Other operating expenses, net	 	$	1,118	 	 	$	417	 	 	

Other, net includes rental income and miscellaneous charges.

Interest Expense, Net
Net interest expense decreased from $13,352 for the March 2011 year-to-date period to $11,078 in the March 2012 year-to-date period.  The favorable decline in interest expense was primarily due to the lower average outstanding debt balance as a result of the Company’s redemptions of its 2014 notes.  These redemptions were financed through a mix of cash generated from operations and borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility which carries a lower average interest rate.  The weighted average interest rate of Company debt for the March 2011 year-to-date period and the March 2012 year-to-date period was 11.6% and 10.2%, respectively.

Other Non-Operating (Income) Expenses
For the nine months ended March 25, 2012, Other non-operating (income) expense consists of a gain of $1,488 from the Company’s Brazilian operation related to a refund of non-income related taxes plus interest partially offset by a loss on extinguishment of debt of $462.  For the nine months ended March 27, 2011, Other non-operating (income) expense consists of $3,337 in losses from extinguishment of debt and $528 for costs associated with an unsuccessful debt refinancing.

Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Affiliates
For the nine months ended March 25, 2012, the Company’s $2,719 income before income taxes included $14,166 of income generated from its investments in its unconsolidated affiliates.

For the nine months ended March 25, 2012, earnings from the Company’s unconsolidated equity affiliates were $14,166 compared to $11,887 for the nine months ended March 27, 2011.  During these periods, the Company’s 34% share of PAL’s earnings increased from $10,607 to $14,213 primarily due to PAL’s gross margins temporarily benefitting from the significant drop in the raw material portion of cost of goods sold, as recent declines in cotton costs were not immediately offset by a corresponding drop in selling prices primarily due to the lag in various of PAL’s index-based selling arrangements and contractual terms with customers.  The remaining decrease in the earnings of unconsolidated affiliates relates primarily to lower operating results of UNF and UNF America which was primarily driven by decreased sales volume and lower capacity utilization.

49

 

Income Taxes
The Company’s income tax provision for the year-to-date period ended March 25, 2012 resulted in tax expense at an effective rate of 108.1% compared to the year-to-date period ended March 27, 2011, which resulted in tax expense at an effective rate of 26.6%.  The difference between the Company’s income tax expense and the U.S. statutory rate for the year-to-date period ended March 25, 2012 was primarily due to losses in tax jurisdictions for which no tax benefit could be recognized, foreign dividends taxed in the U.S. and abroad, and earnings attributable to foreign operations which are taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate.  The differences between the Company’s income tax expense and the U.S. statutory rate for the year-to-date period ended March 27, 2011 was primarily due to losses from one of its equity affiliates, increases in uncertain tax positions, and foreign operations taxed at rates lower than in the U.S., which was partially offset by foreign dividends taxed in the U.S.

Net Income Attributable to Unifi, Inc.
Net income attributable to Unifi, Inc. for the March 2012 year-to-date period was $213 or $0.01 per basic share compared to net income attributable to Unifi, Inc. of $11,575, or $0.58 per basic share, for the prior year-to-date period.  The Company’s decreased profitability was primarily due to lower gross profits and the loss on the previously held equity interest in Renewables partially offset by an increase in earnings from unconsolidated affiliates and lower SG&A expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA for the March 2012 year-to-date period decreased $20,672 versus the prior year-to-date period.  As discussed above, the $20,335 reduction in consolidated gross profit is the primary driver for the decline in Adjusted EBITDA.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s primary capital requirements are for working capital, capital expenditures, debt repayment and service of indebtedness. The Company’s primary sources of capital are cash generated from operations and amounts available under its revolving credit facility.  For the nine months ended March 25, 2012, cash generated from operations was $27,254 and as of March 25, 2012, excess availability under the Company’s revolving credit facility was $52,955.

As of March 25, 2012, all of the Company’s long-term debt obligations are guaranteed by domestic entities while a substantial portion of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are attributable to foreign entities.  The following table presents a summary of the Company’s cash, working capital, debt obligations and liquidity for its U.S. and foreign operations as of March 25, 2012:

During the fiscal year ended June 26, 2011, the Company changed its indefinite reinvestment assertion related to approximately $26,630 of the earnings and profits held by Unifi do Brasil, Ltda. (“UDB”).  During the current fiscal year, the Company has had a net increase in the assertion to $30,360.  On April 5, 2012, the Company repatriated $10,262 million related to this assertion. All remaining undistributed earnings are deemed to be indefinitely reinvested.

The following table presents a summary of the components of the Company’s Adjusted Working Capital and the reconciliation from Adjusted Working Capital to Working Capital as of March 25, 2012 and June 26, 2011:

Working capital decreased by $12,791 from $212,969 as of June 26, 2011 to $200,178 as of March 25, 2012.  This decrease includes an $11,253 currency effect related to the weakening of the Brazilian Real to the U.S. dollar of which $2,625 relates to the effect of currency rate changes on cash and cash equivalents.

The largest favorable adjusted working capital change was related to declines for both domestic and foreign inventories.  These inventory declines were predominantly driven by lower on-hand units and increased inventory turns.   The largest unfavorable adjusted working capital change was related to declines for accrued expenses which were due to lower amounts for payroll accruals, fringe benefits and variable compensation accruals, property taxes and utilities.  The change in receivables consists of an increase domestically due to higher selling prices partially offset by decreases for the Company’s foreign affiliates due to lower sales volume.  The increase for accrued interest relates to the timing of interest payments due for the Company’s 2014 notes.

Outlook:
Before considering raw material cost or currency fluctuations, the Company expects adjusted working capital to be a source of cash for the entire 2012 fiscal year and its fourth fiscal quarter due to improved inventory turns and other benefits from its working capital management programs.

Capital Expenditures
In addition to its normal working capital requirements, the Company requires cash to fund capital expenditures.  During the first nine months of fiscal year 2012, the Company spent $5,329 on capital expenditures compared to $17,334 in the prior year.  The Company estimates its fiscal year 2012 capital expenditures will be approximately $7,000 to $8,000, which will primarily consist of the expenditures for the installation of additional texturing equipment in El Salvador and routine, on-going capital expenditures to extend the useful life of certain assets.   As of March 25, 2012, the Company had no restricted cash funds that are required to be used for domestic capital expenditures under the Indenture.  The Company may incur additional capital expenditures as it pursues new opportunities to expand its production capabilities or to further streamline its manufacturing processes.

Deleveraging Strategy and Planned Refinancing
On April 24, 2012 the Company announced that it entered into a Commitment Letter for a $150,000 senior secured credit facility (the “ABL Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and Bank of America, N.A..  The ABL Facility will consist of a $100,000 revolving credit facility (the “ABL Revolver”) and a $50,000 term loan (the “ABL Term Loan”).  In addition, the Company entered into a Commitment Letter with MacKay Shields LLC, a Delaware limited liability Company, solely in its capacity as investment adviser or subadviser with investment authority for certain discretionary client accounts, for the incurrence of a $30,000 term loan (the “Term B Loan”).  The purpose of the ABL Facility and the Term B Loan is to, among other things, refinance the Company’s existing indebtedness including the redemption of the 2014 notes and to repay in full and terminate the existing First Amended Credit Agreement.  The ABL Facility and the Term B Loan will become effective on May 24, 2012 (the “Closing Date”) and the ABL Revolver, the ABL Term Loan and the Term B Loan have a maturity date of May 24, 2017.

As previously disclosed, the Company called for redemption in full of the $123,722 remaining principal amount of the outstanding 2014 notes at par and announced that it will repay in full and terminate its existing First Amended Credit Agreement, which had an outstanding principal balance of $35,000 as of March 25, 2012.  The Company plans to finance these transactions (plus related debt refinancing expenses and fees) by using approximately $22,000 of cash, $60,000 of borrowings under the ABL Revolver, $50,000 of borrowings under the ABL Term Loan and $30,000 of borrowings under the Term B Loan.

As a result of the refinancing, the Company estimates its interest savings for its fiscal year 2013 will be approximately $9,000.  For further details related to the refinancing see “Footnote 29. Subsequent Events” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.

Cash Provided by Operations
Net cash provided by operations was as follows:
 	For the Nine Months Ended	 	
 	March 25, 2012	 	March 27, 2011	 	
Plus cash receipts:	 	 	 	 	
Receipts from customers	$	512,953	 	$	505,078	 	
Dividends from unconsolidated affiliates	 	4,150	 	 	4,319	 	
Other receipts	 	2,058	 	 	2,275	 	
Less cash payments:	 	 	 	 	 	 	
Payments to suppliers and other operating cost	 	395,825	 	 	408,326	 	
Payments for salaries, wages, and benefits	 	84,882	 	 	86,320	 	
Payments for restructuring and severance	 	293	 	 	1,856	 	
Payments for other non-operating expense	 	—	 	 	528	 	
Payments for interest	 	8,775	 	 	11,123	 	
Payments for taxes	 	2,132	 	 	4,932	 	
Net cash provided by (used in) operations	$	27,254	 	$	(1,413	)	

Cash received from customers increased $7,875 during the March 2012 year-to-date period over the same prior year period as a result of increased weighted average selling prices and the timing of cash receipts.   Payments to suppliers decreased due to lower production volume offset in part by higher raw material prices.  Salary, wage and benefit payments decreased as a result of reduced variable compensation payments partially offset by an increase in employee costs.  Increased employee costs were due to higher levels of wage employees related to the opening of the Company’s El Salvadoran manufacturing facility and the Repreve recycling center.  The Company’s Deleveraging Strategy has resulted in decreased interest expense for the current period versus the prior year period.  Cash taxes paid by the Company decreased as a result of a decline in profitability for the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary.  Other receipts include rental income and interest income.

Cash Used in Investing Activities and Financing Activities
Investing and Financing Activities
The Company utilized $5,807 in net investing activities and utilized $10,010 in net financing activities during the nine month period ended March 25, 2012.  The primary cash outlays for investing and financing activities during the nine month period ended March 25, 2012 included $10,288 to repurchase a portion of the 2014 notes with a face value of $10,000 and $5,329 in capital expenditures partially offset by proceeds from the sale of assets, capital contributions from a non-controlling interest, stock option exercises, and returns of split dollar life insurance premiums.

The Company utilized $14,111 in net investing activities and utilized $10,861 in net financing activities during the nine month period ended March 27, 2011.  The primary cash outlays for investing and financing activities during the nine month period ended March 27, 2011 included $47,588 to repurchase a portion of the 2014 notes with a face value of $45,000, $17,334 in capital expenditures, $825 for debt refinancing fees and $707 for investment in unconsolidated affiliates partially offset by $37,800 of net borrowings on revolving credit facility, $3,241 from the return of split dollar life insurance premiums, a loan repayment from an unconsolidated equity affiliate, proceeds from the sale of assets and proceeds from stock options exercises.

Contractual Obligations
The Company has assumed various financial obligations and commitments in the normal course of its operations and financing activities.  Financial obligations are considered to represent known future cash payments that the Company is required to make under existing contractual arrangements, such as debt and lease agreements.  As of March 25, 2012, except for the $10,000 redemption of the Company’s 2014 notes discussed above, there have been no material changes in the scheduled maturities of the Company’s contractual obligations as disclosed in the table under the heading “Contractual Obligations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 26, 2011.

Contingencies
Environmental Liabilities
On September 30, 2004, the Company completed its acquisition of the polyester filament manufacturing assets located in Kinston, North Carolina from INVISTA S.a.r.l. (“INVISTA”).  The land for the Kinston site was leased pursuant to a 99 year Ground Lease with DuPont. Since 1993, DuPont has been investigating and cleaning up the Kinston site under the supervision of the EPA and DENR pursuant to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Corrective Action program. The Corrective Action program requires DuPont to identify all potential AOC, assess the extent of contamination at the identified AOCs and clean them up to comply with applicable regulatory standards.  Effective March 20, 2008, the Company entered into a Lease Termination Agreement associated with conveyance of certain of the assets at Kinston to DuPont. This agreement terminated the Ground Lease and relieved the Company of any future responsibility for environmental remediation, other than participation with DuPont, if so called upon, with regard to the Company’s 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 DuPont's 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. DuPont's duty to monitor and report to DENR with respect to this site will be transferred to the Company in the future, at which time DuPont must pay the Company seven years of monitoring and reporting costs and the Company will assume responsibility for any future remediation and monitoring of this 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.

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 Company’s financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  The SEC has defined a company’s most critical accounting policies as those involving accounting estimates that require management to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time and where different reasonable estimates or changes in the accounting estimate from quarter to quarter could materially impact the presentation of the financial statements.  The Company’s critical accounting policies are discussed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.  There have been no material changes to these policies during the current period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There have been no newly issued or newly applicable accounting pronouncements that have or are expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company is exposed to market risks associated with changes in interest rates, currency fluctuation rates and raw material and commodity risks which may adversely affect its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.  The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes nor is it a party to any leveraged financial instruments.

Interest Rate Risk: The Company is exposed to interest rate risk through its borrowing activities.  Currently, the majority of the Company’s borrowings are its 2014 notes which have a fixed rate of interest and its revolving credit facility which has a variable rate of interest. The Company may hedge its interest rate variability on its revolving credit facility using an interest rate swap.

Currency Exchange Rate Risk:  The Company conducts its business in various foreign countries and in various foreign currencies.  Each of the Company’s operations may enter into transactions (sales, purchases, or fixed purchase commitments, etc.) that are denominated in currencies other than the operation’s functional currency and which subject the Company to foreign currency exchange risk.  The Company may enter into forward currency contracts to hedge this exposure.  For sales transactions such as these, the Company typically hedges 60% to 75% of the sales value of these orders by using forward currency contracts.  The maturity dates of the forward contracts are intended to match the anticipated collection dates of the receivables.  The Company may also enter into forward currency contracts to hedge its exposure for certain equipment or inventory purchase commitments.  As of March 25, 2012, the Company does not have a significant amount of exposure related to forward currency contracts.

As of March 25, 2012, the Company’s subsidiaries outside the U.S., whose functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar, held approximately 20% of consolidated total assets. The Company does not enter into foreign currency derivatives to hedge its net investment in its foreign operations. As of March 25, 2012, 63.7% of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were held outside the U.S., of which approximately $2,962 were held in U.S. dollar equivalents.

53

 

Raw Material and Commodity Risks:  A significant portion of the Company’s raw materials are derived from petroleum-based chemicals.  The costs of the Company’s raw materials can be volatile and availability can depend on global supply and demand dynamics, including certain geo-political risks.  The Company does not use financial instruments to hedge its exposure to changes in raw material costs.  The costs of the primary raw materials that the Company uses throughout all of its operations are generally traded based on U.S. dollar pricing.

Other Risks:  The Company is also exposed to political risk, including changing laws and regulations governing international trade such as quotas, tariffs and tax laws and incentives.  The degree of impact and the frequency of these events cannot be predicted.

Market Capitalization versus Book Value:  As of the end of the third quarter of fiscal year 2012, the Company’s book value was $14.32 per share.  During the March 2012 quarter, the Company’s common shares traded at a high of $10.00 and at a low of $7.14 per share.  Due to the disparity between the share values, the Company considered the recoverability of its assets and does not believe any of its assets to be impaired at this time.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of March 25, 2012, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the “Exchange Act”) was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”). Based on that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company’s 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 Company’s management, including its CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

Part II.  Other Information

Item 1.                  Legal Proceedings

There are no pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the Company’s business, to which the Company is a party or of which any of its property is the subject.

Item 1A.               Risk Factors
 
There are no material changes to the Company's risk factors set forth under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 26, 2011 other than the addition of the following risk factor.

We will face substantial risks to our business if we cannot successfully close the proposed refinancing and fund the redemption of the 2014 notes.

As discussed in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” above, the Company has entered into commitment letters for the ABL Facility and the Term B Loan, which are expected to close and fund on May 24, 2012 (the “Planned Refinancing”), and has made an irrevocable call for redemption in full on May 24, 2012 of the remaining principal amount outstanding of the 2014 notes (the “Redemption”).  The conditions of the lenders’ obligations to fund the ABL Facility and the Term B Loan include the delivery of all required documents, that no event of default will occur on the Closing Date, that the Company will have at least $22,500 of borrowing base availability under the ABL Revolver (based on April 2012 month end financial statements) after the initial extensions of credit and payment of all expenses required to be paid by the borrowers on the Closing Date and that there has not been the occurrence of any material adverse change.  The Company requires proceeds from the Planned Refinancing in order to fund the Redemption.  If the Company is unable to meet the closing conditions for the ABL Facility and Term B Loan, the Company would be forced to seek a number of unfavorable alternatives in an extremely limited time period.  These options include agreeing to otherwise unfavorable alternative sources of funding or disposing of assets on disadvantageous terms at a time when it may not otherwise be in the Company’s best interest to do so.  Moreover, there is no guarantee of the availability of such alternatives or the ability to obtain the requisite alternative funding on the timetable required for the Redemption. Any one of these options and/or a failure to fully fund the Redemption on May 24, 2012 will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and ability to make distributions to our shareholders.
