Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1. Background

 

Unifi, Inc., a New York corporation formed in 1969 (together with its subsidiaries, “we”, the “Company” or “Unifi”), is a multi-national manufacturing company that 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. The Company sells yarns made from polyester and nylon to other yarn manufacturers and knitters and weavers that produce fabric for the apparel, hosiery, home furnishings, automotive upholstery, industrial and other end-use markets. The Company’s polyester products include polyester polymer beads (“Chip”), partially oriented yarn (“POY”), textured, solution and package dyed, twisted, beamed and draw wound yarns; each is available in virgin or recycled varieties (the latter made from both pre-consumer yarn waste and post-consumer waste, including plastic bottles). The Company’s nylon products include textured, solution dyed and covered spandex products.

 

The Company maintains one of the textile industry’s most comprehensive yarn product offerings, and it has ten manufacturing operations in four countries and participates in joint ventures in Israel and the United States (“U.S.”). The Company’s principal geographic markets for its products are located in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Central America and South America. In addition, the Company has a wholly-owned subsidiary in the People’s Republic of China (“China”) focused on the sale and promotion of the Company’s PVA and other specialty products in the Asian textile market, primarily in China, as well as in the European market.

 

2. Basis of Presentation; Condensed Notes

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. As contemplated by the instructions of the Securities and Exchange Commission to Form 10-Q, the following notes have been condensed and, therefore, do not contain all disclosures required in connection with annual financial statements. Reference should be made to the Company’s year-end audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2014 (the “2014 Form 10-K”).

 

The financial information included in this report has been prepared by the Company, without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for interim periods have been included. Nevertheless, the results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. The June 29, 2014 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make use of estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and certain financial statement disclosures. Actual results may vary from these estimates.

 

All dollar and other currency amounts and share amounts, except per share amounts, are presented in thousands (000s), except as otherwise noted.

 

Fiscal Year

The Company’s current fiscal quarter ended on December 28, 2014, the last Sunday in December. The Company’s Brazilian, Colombian and Chinese subsidiaries’ fiscal quarter ended on December 31, 2014 and there were no significant transactions or events that occurred between the Company’s fiscal quarter end and its subsidiaries’ fiscal quarter end. The three months ended December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013 each consisted of thirteen fiscal weeks. The six months ended December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013 each consisted of twenty-six fiscal weeks.

 

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications of prior years’ data have been made to conform to the current year presentation.

 

3. 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. 

 

4. Acquisition

 

Acquisition of Draw Winding Business from Dillon Yarn Corporation

On December 2, 2013, the Company acquired certain draw winding assets and the associated business from American Drawtech Company, Inc. (“ADC”), a division of Dillon Yarn Corporation (“Dillon”), pursuant to the exercise of an option granted to the Company under the terms of a commissioning agreement with Dillon, for $2,934, which included accounts payable and an accrued contingent liability.  The assets acquired include Dillon’s draw winding inventory and production machinery and equipment.  This acquisition increased the Company’s polyester production capacity and has allowed the Company to expand its presence in targeted industrial, belting, hose and thread markets by increasing its product offerings to include mid-tenacity flat yarns.  Mr. Mitchel Weinberger, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), is also Dillon’s President and Chief Operating Officer and an Executive Vice President and a director of ADC.

Unifi, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

 

The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination, which requires assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date.  The Company concluded that the acquisition did not represent a material business combination. The fair values of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration transferred are as follows:

 

Assets:

       

Inventory

  $ 434  

Machinery and equipment

    835  

Customer list

    1,615  

Non-compete agreement

    50  

Total assets

  $ 2,934  
         

Liabilities:

       

Accounts payable

  $ 434  

Contingent consideration

    2,500  

Total liabilities

  $ 2,934  

 

The contingent consideration liability represents the present value of the expected future payments due to Dillon over the five-year period following the acquisition date.  The payments due are equal to one-half of the operating profit of the draw winding business, as calculated using an agreed-upon definition.  The assumptions used in estimating the contingent consideration liability were based on inputs not observable in the market and represent Level 3 fair value measurements. These estimates are reviewed quarterly and any adjustment is recorded through operating income.  

 

See “Note 9. Intangible Assets, Net” for further discussion of the customer list and non-compete agreement.

 

See “Note 17. Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities” for further discussion of the recurring measurement of the contingent consideration.

 

5. Receivables, Net

 

Receivables, net consists of the following:

 

   

December 28, 2014

   

June 29, 2014

 

Customer receivables

  $ 78,106     $ 95,270  

Allowance for uncollectible accounts

    (1,465 )     (1,035 )

Reserves for yarn quality claims

    (640 )     (618 )

Net customer receivables

    76,001       93,617  

Related party receivables

    25       17  

Other receivables

    293       291  

Total receivables, net

  $ 76,319     $ 93,925  

 

Other receivables consist primarily of receivables for duty drawback, healthcare claim reimbursement, interest and refunds from vendors.

 

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 29, 2014

  $ (1,035 )   $ (618 )

Charged to costs and expenses

    (654 )     (631 )

Charged to other accounts

    144       22  

Deductions

    80       587  

Balance at December 28, 2014

  $ (1,465 )   $ (640 )

Unifi, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

 

Amounts charged to costs and expenses for the allowance for uncollectible accounts are reflected in the provision for bad debts and deductions represent amounts written off which were deemed to not be collectible, net of any recoveries. Amounts charged to costs and expenses for the reserves for yarn quality claims are primarily reflected as a reduction of net sales and deductions represent adjustments to either increase or decrease claims based on negotiated amounts or actual versus estimated claim differences. 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.

In fiscal year 2007, the Company purchased the texturing operations of 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 amortized in a manner which reflects the expected economic benefit that will be received over its thirteen-year life. The non-compete agreement is amortized using the straight-line method over the period currently covered by the agreement. The amortization expense is included within the Polyester Segment’s depreciation and amortization expense.

 

On December 2, 2013, the Company acquired certain draw winding assets and the associated business from Dillon, as described in “Note 4. Acquisition.” A customer list and a non-compete agreement were recorded in connection with the business combination, utilizing similar valuation methods as described above for the fiscal year 2007 transaction. The customer list is amortized over a nine-year estimated useful life based on the expected economic benefit. The non-compete agreement is amortized using the straight-line method over the five-year term of the agreement. The amortization expense is included within the Polyester Segment’s depreciation and amortization expense.

 

During fiscal year 2012, the Company acquired a controlling interest (and continues to hold such 60% membership interest) in Repreve Renewables, LLC (“Renewables”), a development stage enterprise formed to cultivate, grow and sell dedicated energy crops, including biomass intended for use as a feedstock in the production of energy and potential applications for poultry bedding. The non-compete agreement for Renewables is amortized using the straight-line method over the five-year term of the agreement. The licenses for Renewables are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of four to eight years.

Unifi, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

 

On May 24, 2012, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) to establish a $150,000 senior secured credit facility (“ABL Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and Bank of America, N.A. The ABL Facility has been amended several times, such that it has a maturity date of March 28, 2019 and consists of a $100,000 revolving credit facility (“ABL Revolver”) and a $90,000 term loan (“ABL Term Loan”).

 

ABL Facility

The ABL Facility is secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all owned property and assets (together with proceeds and products) of Unifi, Inc., Unifi Manufacturing, Inc. and certain subsidiary guarantors (the “Loan Parties”). It is also secured by a first-priority security interest in all (or 65% in the case of certain first tier controlled foreign corporations, as required by the lenders) 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, together with all proceeds and products thereof. The ABL Facility is further secured by a first-priority lien on the Company’s limited liability company membership interest in Parkdale America, LLC (“PAL”).

 

The Credit Agreement, as amended, includes representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default that are usual and customary for financings of this type. If excess availability under the ABL Revolver falls below the defined Trigger Level, 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 becomes effective. The Trigger Level as of December 28, 2014 was $23,398. In addition, the ABL Facility contains restrictions on certain payments and investments, including restrictions on the payment of dividends and share repurchases, unless excess availability is greater than the Trigger Level for the thirty-day period prior to the making of such a distribution (as calculated on a pro forma basis as if all such payments and any revolving loans made in connection therewith were made on the first day of such period) and the fixed charge coverage ratio is at least 1.0 to 1.0 (as calculated on a pro forma basis as if all such payments made pursuant to the most recent compliance certificate date were made on the last day of the applicable twelve-month period). Subject to certain provisions, 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.

 

The Company’s ability to borrow under the ABL Revolver is limited to a borrowing base equal to specified percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory and is subject to certain conditions and limitations. ABL Revolver borrowings bear interest at the London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin of 1.75% to 2.25%, or the Base Rate plus an applicable margin of 0.75% to 1.25%, with interest currently being paid on a monthly basis. The Base Rate means the greater of (i) the prime lending rate as publicly announced from time to time by Wells Fargo, (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, and (iii) LIBOR plus 1.0%. There is also a monthly unused line fee under the ABL Revolver of 0.25% to 0.375%.

 

Fifth Amendment

On August 25, 2014, the Company entered into a Fifth Amendment to Credit Agreement (“Fifth Amendment”). The Fifth Amendment, among other things: (i) increased the ABL Term Loan by $22,000 to $90,000; (ii) increased the fixed quarterly payments on the ABL Term Loan from $2,125 to $2,812; (iii) modified the calculation of the fixed charge coverage ratio to exclude certain capital expenditures and permitted acquisitions, at the election of the Company, through June 30, 2015, subject to a maximum exclusion of $40,000 for any consecutive twelve-month period and other limitations; (iv) increased the ABL Term Loan interest rate from LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 2.25%, or the Base Rate plus an applicable margin of 1.25%, to LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 2.50%, or the Base Rate plus an applicable margin of 1.50%; (v) modified the date on which the eligibility of certain collateral is calculated as a date between July 19, 2015 and December 31, 2015, subject to satisfaction of certain additional conditions, such that the ABL Term Loan amount can be increased again up to $90,000; (vi) related to the making of restricted payments (consisting of dividends and share repurchases), in addition to existing requirements, added a requirement to have a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0 to 1.0 during the same period, calculated on a pro forma basis as if all such restricted payments made pursuant to the most recent compliance certificate date were made on the last day of the applicable twelve-fiscal-month period; and (vii) removed the requirement to hedge interest rate exposure on funded indebtedness. Debt financing fees of $184 were recorded during the six months ended December 28, 2014 related to the amendment.

 

As of December 28, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants; the excess availability under the ABL Revolver was $60,919; the fixed charge coverage ratio was 4.5 to 1.0; and the Company had $525 of standby letters of credit, none of which have been drawn upon.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

 

The Company maintains an unfunded supplemental post-employment plan for certain management employees. Each employee’s account is credited annually based upon a percentage of the participant’s base salary, with each participant’s balance adjusted quarterly to reflect returns based upon a stock market index. Amounts are paid to participants only after termination of employment. Expenses recorded for this plan for the three months ended December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013 were $234 and $301, respectively, and for the six months ended December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013 were $333 and $520, respectively.

 

Contingent consideration represents the present value of the long-term portion of contingent payments associated with the Company’s December 2013 acquisition of Dillon’s draw winding business, described in “Note 4. Acquisition” and “Note 17. Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities.”

 

Other primarily includes certain retiree and post-employment medical and disability liabilities and deferred incentives.

 

14. Income Taxes

 

The effective income tax rates for the three months and six months ended December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013 were based upon the estimated effective income tax rate applicable for the full year after giving effect to any significant items related specifically to interim periods. The effective income tax rate can be impacted over the course of the fiscal year by the mix and timing of actual earnings from our U.S. and foreign sources versus annual projections and changes in foreign currency exchange rates 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 three months ended December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013 resulted in tax expense of $3,193 and $3,924, respectively, with an effective tax rate of 25.9% and 38.7%, respectively. The Company’s income tax provision for the six months ended December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013 resulted in tax expense of $7,354 and $9,675, respectively, with an effective tax rate of 31.8% and 39.5%, respectively.

 

The effective income tax rate for the current quarter and year-to-date period is lower than the U.S. statutory rate due to (i) the recognition of lower taxable income versus book income for an unconsolidated affiliate, (ii) a lower overall effective tax rate for the Company’s foreign earnings and (iii) the domestic production activities deduction, partially offset by state and local taxes and losses in tax jurisdictions for which no tax benefit could be recognized.

 

The effective income tax rate for the prior year periods is higher than the U.S. statutory rate due to (i) the impact of state and local taxes, (ii) the recognition of higher taxable versus book income for an unconsolidated affiliate for which the Company maintains a full valuation allowance, (iii) foreign dividends taxed in the U.S. and (iv) losses in tax jurisdictions for which no tax benefit could be recognized.

 

As of December 28, 2014, the Company’s valuation allowance was $18,279 and includes $14,682 for reserves against certain domestic deferred tax assets primarily related to equity investments and foreign tax credits, as well as $3,597 for reserves against certain deferred tax assets of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries that are primarily related to net operating loss carryforwards and equity investments. The Company’s valuation allowance as of June 29, 2014 was $18,615. The decrease in the valuation allowance during the six month period ended December 28, 2014 is attributable to the timing of the Company’s recognition of lower taxable versus book income for an unconsolidated affiliate.

 

There have been no significant changes in the Company’s liability for uncertain tax positions since June 29, 2014. 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.

 

The Company and its domestic subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return, as well as income tax returns in numerous state and foreign jurisdictions. The tax years subject to examination vary by jurisdiction. The Company regularly assesses the outcomes of both completed and ongoing examinations to ensure that the Company’s provision for income taxes is sufficient. Currently, the Company is subject to income tax examinations for U.S. federal income taxes for tax years 2011 through 2014, for foreign income taxes for tax years 2008 through 2014, and for state and local income taxes for tax years 2009 through 2014. The U.S. federal tax returns and state tax returns filed for the 2011 through 2013 tax years have utilized carryforward tax attributes generated in prior tax years, including net operating losses, which could potentially be revised upon examination.

15. Shareholders’ Equity

 

During fiscal year 2014, the Company completed its repurchase of shares under its $50,000 stock repurchase program that had been approved by the Board on January 22, 2013 (the “2013 SRP”). On April 23, 2014, the Board approved a new stock repurchase program (the “2014 SRP”) to acquire up to an additional $50,000 of the Company’s common stock. Under the 2014 SRP (as was the case under the 2013 SRP), the Company has been authorized to repurchase shares at prevailing market prices, through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions at such times and prices and in such manner as determined by management, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, contractual obligations and other factors. Repurchases, if any, are expected to be financed through cash generated from operations and borrowings under the Company’s ABL Revolver, and are subject to applicable limitations and restrictions as set forth in the ABL Facility. The 2014 SRP has no stated expiration or termination date, and there is no time limit or specific time frame otherwise for repurchases. The Company may discontinue repurchases at any time that management determines additional purchases are not beneficial or advisable.

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s repurchases and retirements of its common stock under the 2013 SRP and the 2014 SRP.

Total

    2,741     $ 21.89     $ 40,011  

 

All repurchased shares have been retired and have the status of authorized and unissued shares. The cost of the repurchased shares is recorded as a reduction to common stock to the extent of the par value of the shares acquired and the remainder is allocated between capital in excess of par value and retained earnings. The portion of the remainder that is allocated to capital in excess of par value is limited to a pro rata portion of capital in excess of par value.

 

No dividends were paid during the six months ended December 28, 2014 or in the previous two fiscal years.

 

16. Stock-based Compensation

 

On October 23, 2013, the Company’s shareholders approved the Unifi, Inc. 2013 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2013 Plan”). The 2013 Plan replaced the 2008 Unifi, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2008 LTIP”). No additional awards will be granted under the 2008 LTIP; however, prior awards outstanding under the 2008 LTIP remain subject to that plan’s provisions. The 2013 Plan authorized the issuance of 1,000 shares of common stock, subject to certain increases in the event outstanding awards under the 2008 LTIP expire, are forfeited or otherwise terminate unexercised.

 

Stock options

During the six months ended December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013, the Company granted stock options to purchase 150 and 97 shares of common stock, respectively, to certain key employees. The stock options vest ratably over the required three-year service period and have ten-year contractual terms. For the six months ended December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013, the weighted average exercise price of the options was $27.38 and $22.31 per share, respectively. The Company used the Black-Scholes model to estimate the weighted average grant date fair value of $17.31 and $14.66 per share, respectively.

 

For options granted, the valuation models used the following assumptions:

At December 28, 2014, 10 non-vested options are subject to a market condition that vests the options on the date that the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange has been at least $30 per share for thirty consecutive trading days. During fiscal year 2014, 14 options subject to a similar market condition at a threshold of $24 per share were vested and 10 such vested options remain outstanding at December 28, 2014. The weighted average exercise price of such 20 options subject to a market condition is $8.16.

 

At December 28, 2014, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options was $2,257, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.4 years.

 

For the six months ended December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013, the total intrinsic value of options exercised was $81, and $12,521, respectively. The amount of cash received from the exercise of options was $36 and $2,833 and the tax benefit realized from stock options exercised was $32 and $4,905 for the six months ended December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013, respectively.

 

Restricted stock units

During the six months ended December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013, the Company granted 17 and 25 restricted stock units (“RSUs”), respectively, to the Company’s non-employee directors. The director RSUs became fully vested on the grant date. The director RSUs convey no rights of ownership in shares of Company stock until such director RSUs have been distributed to the grantee in the form of Company stock. The vested director 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 service 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 such awards granted during the six months ended December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013 to be $28.58 and $23.23 per director RSU, respectively.

 

During July 2013, the Company granted 22 RSUs to certain key employees. The employee RSUs are subject to a vesting restriction and convey no rights of ownership in shares of Company stock until such employee RSUs have vested and been distributed to the grantee in the form of Company stock. The employee RSUs vest over a three-year period, and will be converted into an equivalent number of shares of stock (for distribution to the grantee) on each vesting date, unless the grantee has elected to defer the receipt of the shares of stock until separation from service. If, after the first anniversary of the grant date and prior to the final vesting date, the grantee has a separation from service without cause for any reason other than the employee’s resignation, the remaining unvested employee 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 fair value of such awards granted to be $22.08 per employee RSU.

 

The Company estimates the fair value of RSUs based on the market price of the Company’s common stock at the award grant date.

17. Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities

 

Financial Instruments

The Company may use derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts or interest rate swaps to reduce 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.

 

Foreign currency forward contracts

The Company 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. Foreign currency forward contracts are not designated as hedges by the Company and are marked to market each period and offset by the foreign exchange (gains) losses included in other operating expense, net resulting from the underlying exposures of the foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. As of December 28, 2014, there were no outstanding foreign currency forward contracts.

Interest rate swap

On May 18, 2012, the Company entered into a five year, $50,000 interest rate swap with Wells Fargo to provide a hedge against the variability of cash flows related to LIBOR-based variable rate borrowings under the Company’s ABL Facility. It increased to $85,000 in May 2013 (when certain other interest rate swaps terminated) and decreases $5,000 per quarter beginning in August 2013 until the balance again reaches $50,000 in February 2015, where it will remain through the life of the instrument. This interest rate swap allows the Company to fix LIBOR at 1.06% and terminates on May 24, 2017. At December 28, 2014, the notional amount of the interest rate swap was $55,000.

 

On November 26, 2012, the Company de-designated the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge. For the year-to-date periods ended December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013, the Company reclassified pre-tax unrealized losses of $193 and $300 from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense, respectively. The Company has recognized a pre-tax mark-to-market gain of $246 and $8 within interest expense for the six months ended December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013, respectively, related to this interest rate swap. See “Note 18. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss” for further discussion of the reclassifications of unrealized losses from accumulated other comprehensive loss.

 

Contingent consideration

On December 2, 2013, the Company acquired certain assets in a business combination with Dillon and recorded a contingent consideration liability, as described in “Note 4. Acquisition.” The fair value of the contingent consideration is measured at each reporting period using a discounted cash flow methodology based on inputs not observable in the market (Level 3 classification in the fair value hierarchy). The inputs to the discounted cash flow model include the estimated payments through the term of the agreement based on an agreed-upon definition and schedule, adjusted to risk-neutral estimates using a market price of risk factor which considers relevant metrics of comparable entities, discounted using an observable cost of debt over the term of the estimated payments. Any change in the fair value from either the passage of time or events occurring after the acquisition date is recorded in other operating expense, net. As of December 28, 2014, a recent decline in actual sales volume versus forecasted sales volume has been considered in reflecting a slight decrease in expected future payments, while no other inputs and assumptions used to develop the fair value measurement have changed since the acquisition date.

 

A reconciliation of the changes in the fair value follows:

 

Contingent consideration as of June 29, 2014

Payments

    (358 )

Based on the present value of the expected future payments, $525 is reflected in accrued expenses and $1,637 is reflected in other long-term 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.

 

The Company believes that there have been no significant changes to its credit risk profile or the interest rates available to the Company for debt issuances with similar terms and average maturities and the Company estimates that the fair values of its debt obligations approximate the carrying amounts. Other financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The financial statement carrying amounts of these items approximate the fair value due to their short-term nature.

 

There were no transfers into or out of the levels of the fair value hierarchy for the six months ended December 28, 2014.

 

Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities

The Company did not have any non-financial assets or liabilities that were required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
