1. | Significant Accounting Policies |
On June 30, 1997, Parkdale Mills, Inc. (Parkdale) and Unifi, Inc. (Unifi) entered into a Contribution Agreement (the 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 (the Company). In exchange for their respective contributions, Parkdale and Unifi received a 66% and 34% ownership interest in the Company, respectively. |
The Company is a producer of cotton and synthetic yarns for sale to the textile and apparel industries primarily within North America. The Company has 14 manufacturing facilities primarily located in central and western North Carolina. |
The Companys fiscal year ends the Saturday nearest to December 31. The Companys fiscal years ended January 1, 2005, January 3, 2004 and December 28, 2002, contained 52 weeks, 53 weeks and 52 weeks, respectively. |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
The Company recognizes revenue when goods are shipped, and the title and risk of loss is transferred to the customer. |
The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash deposits with major banks which may exceed federally insured limits. The Company periodically assesses the financial condition of the institutions and believes risk of loss to be remote. |
Substantially all of the Companys accounts receivable are due from companies in the textile and apparel markets located primarily throughout North America. In addition, the Company maintains factoring arrangements with a financial institution (Note 2). The Company generally does not require collateral for its accounts receivable. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers financial condition and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information. In the event of cash recoveries, the Company replaces the previously reserved amounts in the allowance for doubtful accounts. Sales to two customers accounted for approximately 27%, 20% and 19% of total sales in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively under a long-term contract with the Company. As of January 1, 2005 and January 3, 2004 accounts receivable for two customers comprises 30% and 24%, respectively of total gross accounts receivable outstanding. |

Assets contributed from Parkdale were transferred to the Company at Parkdales historical net book value. Assets contributed from Unifi were recorded at fair value which Company management has represented approximated net book value at June 30, 1997. All subsequent additions to property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Provisions for repairs and maintenance, which do not extend the life of the applicable assets, are expensed. Provisions for depreciation are determined principally by an accelerated method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the capital lease term. The following is a summary: |

Depreciation expense for years ended January 1, 2005, January 3, 2004 and December 28, 2002 was $21,084,000, $28,623,000 and $34,884,000, respectively. |
The Company evaluates long-lived assets to determine impairment based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows attributable to the assets. In the event such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the carrying value of the assets, the assets are written down to their estimated fair values. |
The Company receives a rebate from the U.S. Government for consuming cotton grown in the United States. The rebate is based on the pounds of cotton consumed and the difference between U.S. and foreign cotton prices. Rebate income, included as a reduction to cost of goods sold in the accompanying statements of operations amounted to $10,357,000, $17,654,000 and $6,872,000 for the years ended January 1, 2005, January 3, 2004 and December 28, 2002, respectively. The receivable associated with this rebate amounted to $1,380,000, $241,000 and $1,344,000 as of January 1, 2005, January 3, 2004 and December 28, 2002, respectively, and was included in accounts receivable in the accompanying balance sheets. |
Deferred financing costs relate to debt agreements entered into on October 31, 2001 (Note 5). Financing costs consist primarily of commitment fees, legal fees and other direct costs incurred to obtain debt financing. These costs are amortized over the applicable terms of the debt agreements. |
The Company reviews intangible assets for impairment annually, unless specific circumstances indicate that a more timely review is warranted. Intangible assets subject to amortization consisted primarily of customer lists acquired and are being amortized over the terms of the agreements, principally five years. |
15
The costs to ship products to customers of approximately $3,078,000, $2,905,000 and $4,662,000 during the years ended January 1, 2005, January 3, 2004 and December 28, 2002, respectively, are included as a component of cost of goods sold in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. |
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FIN No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities an interpretation of ARB No. 51. FIN No. 46 provides criteria for determining whether the financial statement issuer must consolidate other entities in its financial statements. The provisions of FIN No. 46 are effective for entities created before December 31, 2003 and for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004. For entities created after December 31, 2003, the provisions of FIN No. 46 will be effective as of the date they first become involved with the certain entity. The Company does not expect any significant impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows upon the adoption of FIN No. 46. | |
In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FASB) No. 151, Inventory Costs, which clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material. SFAS No. 151 will be effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company is in the process of evaluating the effect, if any, that the adoption of SFAS No. 151 will have on its financial position and results of operations. | |
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchange of Nonmonetary Assets, which eliminates the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. SFAS No. 153 will be effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company is in the process of evaluating the effect, if any, that the adoption of SFAS No. 153 will have on its financial position and results of operations. |
2. | Factoring Arrangements |
The Company has entered into factoring arrangements whereby certain of its receivables are sold on a preapproved, nonrecourse basis except in the event of dispute or claim as to price, terms, quality, material workmanship, quantity or delivery of merchandise. Pursuant to the terms of the arrangements, receivables are sold, net of factoring fees and commissions and net of any credits or discounts available to the Companys customers. Approximately 4% and 9% of accounts receivable were factored at January 1, 2005 and January 3, 2004, respectively. The Company had no advances from the factors outstanding at January 1, 2005 and January 3, 2004. |
3. | Inventories |
Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market. During 2004, cost was determined using the specific identification method for raw materials, yarn-in-process, and finished yarn inventories. During 2003, cost was determined using the specific identification method for raw material inventories and the moving-average method for yarn-in-process and finished yarn inventories. The new method of valuing inventory results from the Companys ability to specifically track labor and overhead for finished yarn products. The effect of the change resulted in an increase to net income in 2004 of approximately $1,562,000. The Company performs periodic assessments to determine the existence of obsolete, slow-moving and |
16
nonsalable inventories and records necessary provisions to reduce such inventories to net realizable value. Inventories consist of the following as of January 1, 2005 and January 3, 2004: |
2004 | 2003 | ||||||||
Cotton and synthetics
|
$ | 18,120,000 | $ | 41,582,000 | |||||

|
$ | 36,287,000 | $ | 61,149,000 | |||||
Inventory at January 3, 2004 has been reduced by a reserve of $5,100,000 related to a reduction in the value of cotton on hand. There was no such reduction in the cotton value at January 1, 2005. |
4. | Income Taxes |
The Company is a Limited Liability Company treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax reporting purposes. As a result, the Companys results of operations are included in the income tax returns of its individual members. Accordingly, no provision for federal or state income taxes has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. |
5. | Debt |
On October 31, 2001, the Company authorized the issue and sale of $40,000,000 Senior Secured Notes (the Notes) due October 31, 2008, at a fixed interest rate of 6.82% to four insurance and finance companies. Interest payments are due on a semi-annual basis, beginning April 30, 2002. Beginning October 31, 2004, the Company is required to pay principal amounts of $8,000,000 annually until the maturity date for the Notes. The Note Purchase Agreement contains certain penalties for prepayment of the Notes. The principal amount of the Notes at January 1, 2005 and January 3, 2004 totals $32,000,000 and $40,000,000 respectively. | |
The Notes had an estimated fair value of $33,146,000 at January 1, 2005. The carrying value of the Notes approximates their fair value as of January 3, 2004. The Companys debt agreements contain restrictive covenants which, among other things, require the maintenance of minimum levels of cash flow coverage and net worth, restrict payments of dividends and limit unsecured borrowings. For the year ended January 1, 2005, the Company was not in compliance with certain of the debt covenants. On January 26, 2005, the Company extinguished the Notes through utilization of working capital. The Notes totaling $32,000,000 have been classified as short-term liabilities at January 1, 2005. Associated with the Notes extinguishment, the Company terminated a $40,000,000 interest rate swap (Note 6). |
In connection with the issuance of the Notes on October 31, 2001, the Company entered into an agreement for a line of credit with a group of banks, which provides for borrowings up to $90,000,000. Borrowings under this agreement bear interest at either the prime rate plus an applicable margin or a LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin, as chosen by the Company. The line of credit was originally scheduled to terminate October 31, 2004; however, was amended during 2004 to reduce the line to $50,000,000 and to change the termination date to February 15, 2005. As of January 1, 2005 and January 3, 2004, there were no amounts outstanding under this agreement. | |
On February 1, 2005 the Company entered into a new revolving credit facility with maximum borrowings of $90,000,000, subject to a $20,000,000 sub-limit for letters of credit. The new debt facility will mature on February 1, 2008 and will bear interest at either the LIBOR rate or the base rate plus the |
17
applicable margin. If liquidity falls below agreed upon requirements, the most restrictive covenants will require the Company to maintain minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and maximum funded debt to EBITDA ratio. |
6. | Derivative Instruments |
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by Statements 137, 138, and 149 in June 1999, June 2000, and April 2003, respectively. SFAS No. 133, as amended, establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. SFAS No. 133 requires that changes in the derivative instruments fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative instruments gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement, to the extent effective, and requires that a company must formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting treatment. During fiscal 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133. The Company uses interest rate swap agreements to manage the risk that changes in interest rates will affect the amount of future interest payments. The differential paid or received under these agreements is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense. These agreements are required to be recognized at their fair value in the accompanying balance sheets. | |
As of January 1, 2005 and January 3, 2004 the Company was a party to the following interest rate swap agreements with a bank: |
Fixed rate amount
|
$18,000,000 | $30,000,000 | $40,000,000 | |||
Payment rate
|
4.9% | 5% fixed | one-month LIBOR | |||
Receipt rate
|

Inception date
|
01/01/2005 | 03/07/2001 | 11/21/2001 | |||
Expiration date
|

Estimated fair value as of January 3, 2004 asset (liability)
|
$ - | $(293,000) | $939,000 | |||
Estimated fair value as of January 1, 2005 asset (liability)
|
101,000 | - | 237,000 |
The fair values of the agreements are the estimated amounts that the Company would pay or receive to terminate these agreements at the reporting date, taking into account current interest rates. The estimated fair values do not necessarily reflect the potential income or loss that would be realized on an actual settlement of the agreements. The Company did not apply hedge accounting treatment and has recorded the unrealized gains and losses in the statements of operations. | |
In addition, the Company enters into forward contracts for cotton purchases, which qualify as derivative instruments under SFAS No. 133. However, these contracts meet the applicable criteria to qualify for the normal purchases or normal sales exemption. Therefore, the provisions of SFAS No. 133 are not applicable to these contracts. | |
The Company enters into futures contracts for cotton purchases, which qualify as derivative instruments under SFAS No. 133. These contracts are used to economically hedge against rising cotton prices. The Company does not apply hedge accounting for these contracts and records these instruments at fair value of $3,462,000 and $10,230,000 in the accompanying balance sheets as of January 1, 2005 and January 3, 2004, respectively. The Company recorded a charge to earnings of approximately $15,595,000 for the |
18
year ended January 1, 2005. The Company recorded a credit to earnings of approximately $10,989,000 and $2,953,000 for the years ended January 3, 2004 and December 28, 2002, respectively. | |
At January 1, 2005 and January 3, 2004, all realized and unrealized gains and losses, resulting from these derivatives, are reflected in the accompanying statements of operations as a component of gain (loss) on derivative instruments. |
7. | Investment in Summit Yarn Joint Venture |
On June 4, 1998, Parkdale and Burlington entered into a Joint Venture and Contribution Agreement (the Agreement) whereby Parkdale and Burlington agreed to contribute certain assets and cash for the purpose of constructing, operating and managing a yarn manufacturing facility, (the Joint Venture), which qualifies under the Maquiladora program in accordance with applicable Mexican law, and for the marketing and sale of yarn manufactured by the Joint Venture, Summit Yarn, LLC (Summit). In exchange for their respective contributions, Parkdale and Burlington each received a 50% ownership interest in Summit. Concurrent with the formation of Summit, Parkdale and Burlington formed Summit Yarn Holding I, which serves as the holding company for Parkdales and Burlingtons investment in various Mexican corporations, related to the Joint Venture. Parkdale and Burlington each received a 50% ownership interest in Summit Yarn Holding I. Effective January 15, 2002, Parkdale transferred its ownership in Summit Yarn Joint Venture (Summit) to the Company. The investment was transferred at Parkdales historical basis of $14,257,000, which included notes receivable from Summit totaling $5,227,000. The Agreement expires in 2018 and has stated renewal options. The Company accounts for its investment in Summit and Summit Yarn Holding I based on the equity method of accounting. | |
On November 15, 2001, Burlington declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy. On November 9, 2003, the purchase of Burlington by WL Ross & Co. was completed, and Burlington emerged from bankruptcy. During March 2004, WL Ross & Co. completed the integration of Burlington and Cone Mills into the newly formed International Textile Group. As part of the new structure, Cone Mills assumed responsibility of Burlingtons Burlmex denim plant in Mexico. Cone Mills and Burlington operate under separate business units of the International Textile Group. | |
Effective August 2, 2004, Burlington transferred its ownership in Summit Yarn Joint Venture to Cone Denim LLC. | |

The Company incurred costs for this plan of $427,000, $486,000 and $572,000 during the years ended January 1, 2005, January 3, 2004 and December 28, 2002, respectively. |
9. | Related Party Transactions |
During fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company sold cotton at cost to Parkdale amounting to $9,952,000, $1,204,000 and $4,558,000, respectively. During fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, Parkdale sold cotton at cost to the Company amounting to $1,073,000, $1,908,000 and $10,156,000, respectively. | |
During the year ended December 28, 2002, the Company sold cotton at cost to Magnolia Manufacturing Company (Magnolia), a related company owned by certain of Parkdales stockholders, amounting to $5,363,000. Effective December 29, 2002, Magnolia Manufacturing Company merged with Parkdale; therefore, there were no cotton sales to this entity during the years ended January 1, 2005 and January 3, 2004. | |
The cost of cotton transferred between the Company, Parkdale and Magnolia is determined on a specific identification basis for each cotton bale sold or purchased. | |
The Company purchased cotton through a related entity of which Parkdale owns 50% totaling $44,806,000, $65,051,000 and $45,157,000 for the years ended January 1, 2005, January 3, 2004 and December 28, 2002, respectively.

The Company and Parkdale share certain accounting and administrative expenses. Parkdale and Unifi have agreed to allocate these accounting and administrative expenses based upon a weighted average of certain key indicators, including, but not limited to, pounds of yarn sold and net sales. Amounts charged to the Company were approximately $13,925,000, $16,759,000 and $15,077,000 for the years ended January 1, 2005, January 3, 2004 and December 28, 2002, respectively. |

|
(8,000 | ) | 57,000 | |||||
$ | (1,991,000 | ) | $ | (461,000 | ) | |||
The due to/from amounts result from intercompany charges related to inventory purchases, accounts receivable collections and the administrative expense allocation. |
In connection with the transfer of Parkdales interest in Summit to the Company, the Company assumed notes receivable from Summit in the amount of $3,550,000, which bears interest at 5.5% and $1,677,000, |
20
which bears interest at 5.7%. At January 1, 2005 and January 3, 2004, there was $3,609,000 and $4,777,000 outstanding on the notes receivable, respectively. | |
The maturity date of the notes is December 1, 2005. Interest income earned on balances due from Summit amounted to $254,000 and $283,000 for the years ended January 1, 2005 and January 3, 2004, respectively. |
In September 1998, the Company purchased certain assets of the air jet operations of a related party. The total net book value of intangible assets associated with the Air Jet Acquisition was $1,250,000 and $1,875,000 at January 1, 2005 and January 3, 2004, respectively. Amortization expense for the years ended January 1, 2005, January 3, 2004 and December 28, 2002 was $625,000, $641,000 and $594,000, respectively. Expected amortization during 2005 and 2006 totals $625,000 each year. |
During the years ended January 1, 2005, January 3, 2004 and December 28, 2002, Parkdale transferred, at net book value, fixed assets of $54,000, $67,000 and $17,000, respectively to the Company, which was settled by cash payment during the year.

No gain or loss was recognized on these transfers. | |
During the year ended January 1, 2005, the Company sold fixed assets having a net book value of $33,500 to Parkdale for $40,000. As this transaction occurred between entities under common control, the difference between net book value and selling price was considered a capital contribution by Parkdale of $7,000. During the year ended January 3, 2004, the Company sold fixed assets having a net book value of $524,000 to Parkdale for $992,000. As this transaction occurred between entities under common control, the difference between net book value and selling price was considered a capital contribution by Parkdale of $468,000. |
During the year ended December 28, 2002, Parkdale reimbursed the Company for certain expenses incurred relating to Summit. The income was recorded in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations totaling $2,036,000. During 2004 and 2003, there were no such reimbursements relating to Summit. | |
The Company sells waste fibers to Henry Fibers, a company owned by a stockholder of Parkdale. Total sales amounted to $357,000, $215,000 and $461,000 for the years ended January 1, 2005, January 3, 2004 and December 28, 2002, respectively. |
10. | Commitments and Contingencies |
The Company maintains a lease agreement with a bank. The lease term ends in January 2013, with an option to purchase the assets in 2006 for 69.55% of the aggregate acquisition cost. |

Lease interest expense for the years ended January 1, 2005, January 3, 2004 and December 28, 2002 was $1,188,000, $1,296,000 and $1,386,000, respectively. The net book value of the assets covered under this capital lease amounted to $12,895,000, $14,507,000 and $16,119,000 as of January 1, 2005, January 3, 2004 and December 28, 2002, respectively. The fair value of the Companys capital lease obligations approximates carrying value because the interest rate for the obligations is comparable to the Companys estimated long-term borrowing rate. |
The Company has entered into operating leases for various vehicles and office equipment. At January 1, 2005, future minimum lease payments during the remaining noncancelable lease terms are as follows: |
2005
|
$ | 474,000 | ||
2006
|
312,000 | |||

$ | 1,072,000 | |||
Rent expense for the years ended January 1, 2005, January 3, 2004 and December 28, 2002 was $650,000, $569,000 and $586,000, respectively. |
The Company had unfulfilled cotton purchase commitments at January 1, 2005 for approximately 169,347,000 pounds of cotton to be used in the production process at varying prices. These commitments represent 45% of the cotton purchased during the prior year ending January 3, 2004. The Company had unfulfilled yarn sales contracts with various customers at varying prices at January 1, 2005, January 3, 2004 and December 28, 2002. |
In late 2003, the Company disclosed to the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) that it participated in certain anticompetitive activities that may have resulted in violation of antitrust laws. Subject to the Companys continuing and complete cooperation with the Antitrust Division of the DOJ, the Division agreed to provide protection for the Company and the Companys directors, officers and employees from criminal prosecution related to the reported anticompetitive activity. As a result of the |
22
Companys disclosure of its activities to the DOJ, several class action claims have been filed against the Company alleging that it attempted to fix and stabilize prices of open-end and airjet cotton and polycotton yarn in the United States. The Company is currently unable to determine or estimate the potential liability or range of liability that may be incurred upon resolution of this matter. However, it is reasonably possible that such liability could be material. | |
The Company is also involved in various legal actions and claims arising in the normal course of business. Management believes that the resolution of such matters will not have a material effect on the financial condition or the results of operations of the Company. |
During the year ended January 3, 2004, the Company recorded settlement gains on certain litigation. The income of $742,000 was recorded in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations. |
11. | Subsequent Event |
On January 4, 2005, the Company purchased certain property and production equipment for $10,000,000 and inventories for $1,288,000 from an unrelated third party. |
