NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(dollars in thousands, except per share data)
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements which do not include all the information and footnotes required by such accounting principles for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (generally consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the accompanying financial statements. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which includes consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2007. Operating results for the three month period ended March 29, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire 2008 year.
The Company is in one line of business, carpet manufacturing.
NOTE B - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS No. 157"). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations (See Note J).
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities", including an amendment of SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS No. 159"). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective of SFAS No. 159 is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions to such assets and liabilities. Eligible items for the measurement option include all recognized financial assets and liabilities except: investments in subsidiaries, interests in variable interest entities, obligations for pension benefits, assets and liabilities recognized under leases, deposit liabilities and financial instruments that are a component of shareholders' equity. Also, included are firm commitments that involve only financial instruments, nonfinancial insurance contracts and warranties and host financial instruments.
The Statement permits all entities to choose the fair value measurement option at specified election dates, after which the entity must report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings, at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option may be applied instrument by instrument; however, the election is irrevocable and may apply only to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. This statement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141R"). SFAS No. 141R replaces SFAS No. 141 and establishes principles and requirements for how identifiable assets, liabilities assumed, any non-controlling interest in an acquiree, and goodwill is recognized and measured in an acquirer's financial statements. SFAS No. 141R also establishes disclosure requirements to assist users in evaluating the nature and financial effects of business combinations. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

(dollars in thousands, except per share data) - Cont'd.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements" ("SFAS No. 160"). SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than their parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to their parent and to the holder of a noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent's ownership interest and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is no longer consolidated. SFAS No. 160 also establishes reporting requirements to clearly identify, distinguish and disclose the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133" ("SFAS No. 161"). SFAS No. 161 establishes, among other things, the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
NOTE C - SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
The Company recognizes compensation expense relating to share-based payments based on the fair value of the equity or liability instrument issued.
On February 28, 2008, the Company granted 187,417 shares of restricted stock to officers of the Company. The grant-date fair value of the awards was $1,643, or $8.765 per share. The shares will vest over terms ranging from 2 to 19 years. Each award is subject to a continued service condition. The fair value of each share of restricted stock awarded was equal to the market value of a share of the Company's Common Stock on the grant date.
The Company's stock compensation expense was $261 and $228 for the three months ended March 29, 2008 and March 31, 2007, respectively.

NOTE J - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 on the first day of fiscal year 2008. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the exchange value of an asset or a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. The three broad fair value hierarchy levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 - Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date.
Level 2 - Other than quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and other than quoted prices for assets or liabilities and prices that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 - Measurements using management's best estimate of fair value, where the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
The Company's available-for-sale securities and interest rate swaps must be measured under the fair value standard. The following table summarizes the hierarchy level the Company used to determine fair value of its financial assets and liabilities as of March 29, 2008:

The fair value of available-for-sale securities was determined based on quoted market prices and the fair value of the interest rate swaps' was obtained from external sources and was determined through the use of models that consider various assumptions and relevant economic factors.
Available-for-sale securities are reflected on the Company's consolidated condensed balance sheet in other long-term assets and related gains and losses are deferred in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("AOCI"). Net unrealized gains included in AOCI were $538 at March 29, 2008.
The Company is a party to an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $30,000 through May 11, 2010. Under the interest rate swap agreement, the Company pays a fixed rate of interest of 4.79% times the notional amount and receives in return a specified variable rate of interest times the same notional amount. The interest rate swap is linked to the Company's variable rate debt and is considered a highly effective hedge. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreement is reflected on the Company's consolidated condensed balance sheet in other long-term liabilities and related gains and losses are deferred in AOCI. Net unrealized losses included in AOCI were $942 at March 29, 2008.
The Company is also a party to an interest rate swap agreement through March 2013, which is linked to a mortgage and considered a highly effective hedge. Under the interest rate swap agreement, the Company pays a fixed rate of interest times a notional amount equal to the outstanding balance of the mortgage, and receives in return an amount equal to a specified variable rate of interest times the same notional amount. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreement is reflected on the Company's consolidated condensed balance sheet in other long-term liabilities and related gains and losses are deferred in AOCI. At March 29, 2008, the notional amount of the interest rate swap agreement was $6,478. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement, the Company pays a fixed interest rate of 4.54% through March 2013, which effectively fixes the interest rate on the mortgage at 6.54%. Net unrealized losses included in AOCI were $231 at March 29, 2008.

NOTE K - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Company sponsors a 401(k) defined contribution plan covering substantially all associates. The Company matches participants' contributions, on a sliding scale, up to a maximum of 5% of the participant's earnings. The Company may make additional contributions to the plan if the Company achieves certain performance targets.
The Company sponsors a non-qualified retirement savings plan that allows eligible associates to defer a specified percentage of their compensation. The obligations owed to participants under this plan were $11,482 at March 29, 2008 and $12,709 at December 29, 2007 and are included in other liabilities in the Company's consolidated condensed balance sheets. The obligations are unsecured general obligations of the Company and the participants have no right, interest or claim in the assets of the Company, except as unsecured general creditors. The Company utilizes a Rabbi Trust to hold, invest and reinvest deferrals and contributions under the plan. Amounts invested in company-owned life insurance in the Rabbi Trust were $12,100 at March 29, 2008 and $12,777 at December 29, 2007 and are included in other long-term assets in the Company's consolidated condensed balance sheets.
On December 29, 2007, the Company merged its only remaining defined benefit pension plan into a multi-employer pension plan. As a result of the merger, the Company ceased to be a plan sponsor and became a contributing employer in the multi-employer pension plan. The Company contributed $205 in January 2008 to complete its funding obligation for the defined benefit pension plan. The Company’s expense and cash contribution related to the multi-employer pension plan was $68 during the three months ended March 29, 2008.

NOTE L - INCOME TAXES
The Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN 48") on the first day of the Company's 2007 fiscal year. Unrecognized tax benefits were $500, including $82 of accrued interest, at March 29, 2008, all of which, if recognized, would favorably affect the Company's effective tax rate. The Company does not expect its unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly during the next twelve months. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.
Following is a summary of the change in the Company's unrecognized tax benefits excluding accrued interest during the three months ended March 29, 2008:

In March 2008, the Company recorded certain available-for-sale securities believed to be acquired through a prior acquisition. Such securities were not reflected in the financial statements of any prior acquisition. The effect of this transaction increased other non-current assets by $868, increased accumulated other comprehensive income by $538 and increased deferred tax liabilities by $330. The effect of this transaction was not material to the Company's historical consolidated financial statements or to the consolidated condensed financial statements for the period ended March 29, 2008.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
The following is presented to update the discussion of results of operations and financial condition included in our 2007 annual report.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our critical accounting policies were outlined in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. There have been no changes to those critical accounting policies subsequent to the date of that report.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The carpet industry continued to be negatively impacted by declining sales of new and existing housing units, difficult credit conditions and contracting consumer confidence. Industry sales declined 7% in the first quarter of 2008, compared with the same period a year ago. During this period, the industry’s sales of residential carpeting declined 11.8% and sales of commercial carpeting grew only 1.3%. As discussed below, our sales and operating results were also affected by the negative conditions in the industry.
The following table sets forth certain elements of our continuing operating results as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated:
|

Net Sales. Net sales for the quarter ended March 29, 2008 were $70.7 million, a decrease of 5.1%, compared with sales of $74.5 million for the year earlier quarter.
Our 2008 year-over-year revenue comparison reflects a 3.1% decline in the dollar volume of carpet sales. Sales of our residential carpet products were down 10.6%, slightly less than the industry’s residential carpet decline, but sales of our commercial carpet products grew 10.4%, well ahead of the industry’s commercial carpet growth.
Our emphasis on development of new and differentiated products has been an important factor in our efforts to grow our share of the markets we serve. We introduced residential wool carpet collections late last year at Masland and early this year at Fabrica. Dixie Home’s introductions, including the new Lifestyles collection, were well received at Surfaces, and samples already have been shipped to customers. Our commercial growth reflects the success of our new modular carpet tile and our Dixie Home and Office collection of Stainmaster® commercial products.
Although the severe weakness in the housing industry and tough credit conditions will likely persist throughout this year, the normal seasonality of the carpet industry is expected to improve sales volumes in the second quarter. We believe that conditions in the residential portion of our industry will improve somewhat in the last half of this year, but the rate of growth of the commercial carpet is expected to slow. We expect our sales to continue to outpace those of the carpet industry, as a whole, due to the performance of our commercial business and the anticipated effect of our new residential products
Cost of Sales. Despite a 5.1% decline in sales volume, cost of sales as a percentage of sales increased only 0.2 percentage points in the first quarter of 2008 compared with the first quarter of 2007. The negative effect of lower volume on fixed cost absorption was substantially offset by improved operational performance.
Page 16
Gross Profit. Gross profit dollars decreased $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2008 compared with the same period in 2007 principally due to lower sales volume.
Selling and Administrative Expenses. Selling and administrative expenses decreased $835 thousand in the first quarter of 2008, compared with the first quarter of 2007. As a percentage of net sales, these expenses slightly increased due to the lower sales volume.
Other Operating Income. Other operating income increased $120 thousand in the first quarter of 2008, compared with the first quarter of 2007, primarily as the result of a gain on the sale of an operating asset in 2008.
Other operating expense. Other operating expense increased $62 thousand in the first quarter of 2008, compared with the first quarter of 2007, primarily as a result of changes in the mix of investments in our non-qualified retirement plan.
Operating Income. Operating income was $1.6 million, or 2.2% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2008 compared with $1.9 million, or 2.6% of net sales, in the first quarter of the prior year. The decline in operating income was principally the result of lower sales volume.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $81 thousand in the first quarter of 2008, compared with the first quarter of 2007 principally as a result of lower interest rates.
Other Income/Other Expense. Other income and other expense were not significant in the first quarter of 2008 or the first quarter of 2007.
Income Tax Provision. Our effective income tax rate was 46.1% in the first quarter of 2008 compared with 38.3% for the first quarter of the prior year. The increase in the effective income tax rate was principally due to adjustments in our tax contingency reserve during the periods presented.
Income from Continuing Operations. Income from continuing operations was $82 thousand, or $0.01 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2008 compared with $237 thousand, or $0.02 per diluted share, for same period in the previous year.
Net Income. Discontinued operations reflected a loss of $69 thousand, $0.01 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2008 compared with a loss of $66 thousand, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the same period of 2007. Including discontinued operations, net income was $13 thousand, or $0.00 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2008, compared with $171 thousand, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the same period of 2007.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the three months ended March 29, 2008, our debt increased $5.7 million and outstanding checks in excess of cash increased by $2.5 million. These funds were used primarily to invest in capital assets, fund our operations, including seasonal increases in working capital, and acquire $1.1 million of the Company’s Common Stock.
Working capital increased $4.7 million during the three month period ended March 29, 2008, principally as a result of an increase in raw material inventories to support new product offerings.
Capital expenditures for the three-months ended March 29, 2008 were $2.9 million while depreciation and amortization was $3.5 million. We expect capital expenditures to be approximately $12.0 million to $14.0 million in fiscal 2008, while depreciation and amortization is expected to be approximately $13.9 million. The anticipated 2008 capital expenditures will primarily be for newer manufacturing technology and to a lesser extent new operating information systems.
We believe that cash generated from our operations and our existing credit facilities are adequate to fund our planned liquidity needs. Unused borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility was $20.2 million at March 29, 2008.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS No. 157"). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
Page 17
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities", including an amendment of SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS No. 159"). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective of SFAS No. 159 is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate the volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions to such assets and liabilities. Eligible items for the measurement option include all recognized financial assets and liabilities except: investments in subsidiaries, interests in variable interest entities, obligations for pension benefits, assets and liabilities recognized under leases, deposit liabilities and financial instruments that are a component of shareholders' equity. Also, included are firm commitments that involve only financial instruments, nonfinancial insurance contracts and warranties and host financial instruments.
The Statement permits all entities to choose the fair value measurement option at specified election dates, after which the entity must report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings, at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option may be applied instrument by instrument; however, the election is irrevocable and may apply only to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. This statement did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141R"). SFAS No. 141R replaces SFAS No. 141 and establishes principles and requirements for how identifiable assets, liabilities assumed, non-controlling interest in an acquiree, and goodwill is recognized and measured in an acquirer's financial statements. SFAS No. 141R also establishes disclosure requirements to assist users in evaluating the nature and financial effects of business combinations. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We do not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements" ("SFAS No. 160"). SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than their parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to their parent and to the holder of a noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent's ownership interest and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is no longer consolidated. SFAS No. 160 also establishes reporting requirements to clearly identify, distinguish and disclose the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We do not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133" ("SFAS No. 161"). SFAS No. 161 establishes, among other things, the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. We do not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
CERTAIN FACTORS AFFECTING THE COMPANY'S PERFORMANCE
In addition to the other information provided in this Report, the risk factors included in Item 1A should be considered when evaluating results of our operations, future prospects and an investment in shares of our Common Stock. Any of these factors could cause our actual financial results to differ materially from our historical results, and could give rise to events that might have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This Report contains statements that may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements include the use of terms or phrases that include such terms as "expects," "estimated," "projects," "believes," "anticipates," "intends," and similar terms and phrases. Such terms or phrases relate to, among other matters, our future financial performance, business prospects, growth strategies or liquidity. The following important factors may affect our future results and could cause those results to differ materially from our historical results. These factors include, in addition to those detailed above under the heading "Certain Factors Affecting the Company's Performance", the cost and availability of capital and raw materials, transportation costs related to petroleum price levels, the cost and availability of energy supplies, the loss of a significant customer or group of customers, materially adverse changes in economic conditions generally in carpet, rug and floor covering markets we serve and other risks detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK (Dollars in thousands)
The Company's earnings, cash flows and financial position are exposed to market risks relating to interest rates. It is the Company's policy to minimize its exposure to adverse changes in interest rates and manage interest rate risks inherent in funding the Company with debt. The Company addresses this financial exposure through a risk management program that includes maintaining a mix of fixed and floating rate debt and the use of derivative financial instruments.
At March 29, 2008, the Company was a party to an interest rate swap agreement on its mortgage note payable with a notional amount equal to the outstanding balance of the mortgage note ($6,478 at March 29, 2008) which expires in March of 2013. Under the interest rate swap agreement, the Company pays a fixed rate of interest of 4.54% times the notional amount and receives in return an amount equal to a specified variable rate of interest times the same notional amount. The interest rate swap agreement effectively fixes the interest rate on the mortgage note payable at 6.54%.
On October 11, 2005, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $30,000 through May 11, 2010. Under this agreement, the Company pays a fixed rate of interest of 4.79% times the notional amount and receives in return a specified variable rate of interest times the same notional amount. The interest rate swap agreement is linked to the Company's variable rate debt and is considered a highly effective hedge.
At March 29, 2008, $22,280, or approximately 24% of the Company's total debt, was subject to floating interest rates. A 10% fluctuation in the variable interest rates applicable to this floating rate debt would have an annual after-tax impact of approximately $63.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such terms are defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e)) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of March 29, 2008, the date of the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the Evaluation Date.
No changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter covered by this report that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures, as well as diverse interpretation of U. S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principals by accounting professionals. It is also possible that internal control over financial reporting could be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. Furthermore, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. These inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process; therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, through not eliminate all risk.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1 - Legal Proceedings
None.
Item 1A - Risk Factors
In addition to the other information provided in this Report, the following risk factors should be considered when evaluating results of our operations, future prospects and an investment in shares of our Common Stock. Any of these factors could cause our actual financial results to differ materially from our historical results, and could give rise to events that might have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The floorcovering industry is cyclical and prolonged declines in residential or commercial construction activity or corporate remodeling and refurbishment could have a material adverse effect on our business.
The U.S. floorcovering industry is cyclical and is influenced by a number of general economic factors. In general, the industry is dependent on residential and commercial construction activity, including new construction as well as remodeling. New construction is cyclical in nature. To a somewhat lesser degree, this also is true with residential and commercial remodeling. A prolonged decline in new construction or remodeling activity could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The level of activity in these industries is significantly affected by numerous factors, all of which are beyond our control, including among others:
·
consumer confidence;
·
housing demand;
·
financing availability;
·
national and local economic conditions;
·
interest rates;
·
employment levels;
·
changes in disposable income;
·
commercial rental vacancy rates; and
·
federal and state income tax policies.
Our product concentration in the higher-end of the residential and commercial markets could significantly affect the impact of these factors on our business.
We face intense competition in our industry, which could decrease demand for our products and could have a material adverse effect on our profitability.
The floorcovering industry is highly competitive. We face competition from a number of domestic manufacturers and independent distributors of floorcovering products and, in certain product areas, foreign manufacturers. There has been significant consolidation within the floorcovering industry during recent years that has caused a number of our existing and potential competitors to be significantly larger and have significantly greater resources and access to capital than we do. Maintaining our competitive position may require us to make substantial additional investments in our product development efforts, manufacturing facilities, distribution network and sales and marketing activities, which may be limited by our access to capital, as well as restrictions set forth in our credit facilities. Competitive pressures may also result in decreased demand for our products and in the loss of market share. In addition, we face, and will continue to face, pressure on sales prices of our products from competitors. As a result of any of these factors, there could be a material adverse effect on our sales and profitability.
Raw material prices may increase.
The cost of raw materials has a significant impact on our profitability. In particular, our business requires the purchase of large volumes of nylon yarn, synthetic backing, latex, and dyes. Increases in the cost of these raw materials could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition if we are unable to pass these increases through to our customers. We believe we have been generally successful in passing along raw material and other cost increases as they may occur; however, there can be no assurance that we will successfully recover such increases in cost, as they may occur in the future.
Unanticipated termination or interruption of our arrangements with third-party suppliers of nylon yarn could have a material adverse effect on us.
Page 20
Nylon yarn is the principal raw material used in our floorcovering products. A significant portion of such yarn is purchased from one supplier. We believe there are other sources of nylon yarns; however, an unanticipated termination or interruption of our supply arrangements could adversely affect our supply arrangements and could be material.
We may be responsible for environmental cleanup costs.
Various federal, state and local environmental laws govern the use of our facilities. These laws govern such matters as:
·
Discharges to air and water;
·
Handling and disposal of solid and hazardous substances and waste; and
·
Remediation of contamination from releases of hazardous substances in our facilities and off-site disposal locations.
Our operations also are governed by laws relating to workplace safety and worker health, which, among other things, establish noise standards and regulate the use of hazardous materials and chemicals in the workplace. We have taken, and will continue to take, steps to comply with these laws. If we fail to comply with present or future environmental or safety regulations, we could be subject to future liabilities. However, we cannot ensure that complying with these environmental or health and safety laws and requirements will not adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Future laws, ordinances or regulations could give rise to additional compliance or remediation costs that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Acts of Terrorism.
Our business could be materially adversely affected as a result of international conflicts or acts of terrorism. Terrorist acts or acts of war may cause damage or disruption to our facilities, employees, customers, suppliers, and distributors, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. Such conflicts also may cause damage or disruption to transportation and communication systems and to our ability to manage logistics in such an environment, including receipt of supplies and distribution of products.
Unanticipated Business Interruptions.
Our business could be adversely affected if a significant portion of our plant, equipment or operations were damaged or interrupted by a casualty, condemnation, utility service, work stoppage or other event beyond our control. Such an event could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
