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 spandex covered products.

The Company maintains one of the textile industry’s most comprehensive yarn product offerings, and 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.

In addition to the Company’s operations described above, the Company’s investments include, but are not limited to, (i) a 60% controlling membership interest in Repreve Renewables, LLC (“Renewables”), an agricultural company focused on the development, production and commercialization of dedicated biomass feedstock for use in the animal bedding, bio-energy and other bio-based products markets; and (ii) a 34% non-controlling partnership interest in Parkdale America, LLC (“PAL”), a producer of cotton and synthetic yarns for sale to the textile industry and apparel market, both foreign and domestic.

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 28, 2015 (the “2015 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 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 27, 2015, the last Sunday in December. The Company’s Brazilian, Colombian and Chinese subsidiaries’ fiscal quarter ended on December 31, 2015. 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 27, 2015 and December 28, 2014 each consisted of thirteen fiscal weeks. The six months ended December 27, 2015 and December 28, 2014 each consisted of twenty-six fiscal weeks.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications of prior years’ data have been made to conform to the current year presentation. Also see note 3.

Net sales, cost of sales, selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, and other operating expense (income), net for the three months and six months ended December 28, 2014 have been revised herein, where applicable, to correspond to the presentation for the three and six months ended December 27, 2015, consistent with note 27 in the 2015 Form 10-K.

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

During the current fiscal quarter, the Company early adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. The ASU eliminates the existing requirement for entities to present deferred tax assets and liabilities as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. Instead, upon adoption, entities are required to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. Adopting this ASU provides simplification in the presentation of deferred tax assets and liabilities and alignment with International Financial Reporting Standards.

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 27, 2015 and June 28, 2015 presented within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect the revised presentation requirements of ASU 2015-17, as outlined in the table below.

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

Unifi, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

On March 26, 2015, the Company and its subsidiary, Unifi Manufacturing, Inc., entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as subsequently amended, the “Amended Credit Agreement”) for a $200,000 senior secured credit facility (the “ABL Facility”) with a syndicate of lenders. The ABL Facility consists of a $100,000 revolving credit facility (the “ABL Revolver”) and a term loan that can be reset up to a maximum amount of $100,000, once per fiscal year, if certain conditions are met (the “ABL Term Loan”). Such a principal increase occurred during the quarter ended December 27, 2015, as described below under the subheading “—Second Amendment”. The ABL Facility has a maturity date of March 26, 2020.

The Amended Credit Agreement replaced a previous senior secured credit facility dated May 24, 2012 with a similar syndicate of lenders, which, after multiple amendments, would have matured on March 28, 2019 and consisted of a $100,000 revolving credit facility and a $90,000 term loan. As used herein, the terms “ABL Facility,” “ABL Revolver” and “ABL Term Loan” shall mean the senior secured credit facility, the revolving credit facility or the term loan, respectively, under the Amended Credit Agreement or the previous senior secured credit facility, as applicable.

ABL Facility

The ABL Facility is secured by a first-priority perfected 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.

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 27, 2015 was $24,375. In addition, the ABL Facility contains restrictions on certain payments and investments, including restrictions on the payment of dividends and share repurchases. 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.

As of December 27, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants and the excess availability under the ABL Revolver was $65,125. At December 27, 2015 the fixed charge coverage ratio was 2.8 to 1.0 and the Company had $210 of standby letters of credit, none of which have been drawn upon.

Second Amendment

On November 19, 2015, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated March 26, 2015 (“Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment increased the percentage applied to real estate valuations, on a one-time basis, from 60% to 75%, for purposes of calculating the Term Loan collateral. Simultaneous to entering into the Second Amendment, the Company entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Term Note, thereby resetting the ABL Term Loan balance to $95,000. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the ABL Term Loan is subject to quarterly amortizing payments of $2,375.

Renewables’ Promissory Note

In September 2015, Renewables delivered a promissory note in the amount of $135, and cash, to an unrelated third party for the purchase of certain land, consisting of thirty-seven acres located in Seven Springs, North Carolina, valued at $191. Such promissory note bears fixed interest at 3.0%, with principal and interest payable annually over a five-year period. Recourse does not extend beyond the assets of Renewables.

Renewables’ Term Loan

In September 2015, Renewables entered into a secured debt financing arrangement consisting of a master loan agreement and corresponding term loan supplement, with unrelated parties, with a borrowing capacity of up to $4,000. In October 2015, Renewables borrowed $4,000. The agreements include representations and warranties made by Renewables, financial covenants, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default that are usual and customary for financings of this type. Borrowings bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.25%, payable monthly in arrears. Lender recourse does not extend beyond the assets of Renewables.

Capital Lease Obligations

During the six months ended December 27, 2015, the Company entered into capital leases with an aggregate present value of $4,154. Fixed interest rates for these capital leases range from 3.4% to 3.8%, with maturity dates in August 2020.

Unifi, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Conslidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Construction Financing

In December 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with a third party lender that provides for construction-period financing for certain build-to-suit assets. The Company will record project costs to construction in progress and the corresponding liability to construction financing (within long-term debt). The agreement provides for monthly, interest-only payments during the construction period, at a rate of 3.5%, and contains terms customary for a financing of this type.

The agreement provides for 60 monthly payments, which will commence at the earlier of the completion of the construction period or July 1, 2017, with an interest rate of 3.2%.

In connection with this construction financing arrangement, during the quarter ended December 27, 2015, the Company (i) recorded $210 of deferred financing fees and (ii) recorded long-term debt of $2,385 (to reflect $790 of proceeds for construction financing and $1,595 for construction in progress paid by the third party lender).

Scheduled Debt Maturities

The following table presents the scheduled maturities of the Company’s outstanding debt obligations for the remainder of fiscal year 2016 and the fiscal years thereafter:

10. Other Long-Term Liabilities

Other long-term liabilities consists of the following:

See note 14 for further information regarding the contingent consideration. Other primarily includes certain retiree and post-employment medical and disability liabilities, and deferred energy incentive credits.

11. Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was as follows:

Unifi, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

The effective tax rate for the periods presented above is lower than the U.S. statutory rate due to (i) a decrease in the valuation allowance reflecting the recognition of lower taxable income versus book income for the Company’s investment in Parkdale America, LLC (for which the Company maintains a full valuation allowance), which was partially offset by an increase in the valuation allowance for net operating losses, including Renewables (for which no tax benefit could be recognized); (ii) a lower overall effective tax rate for the Company’s foreign earnings (reflecting free-trade zone sales in El Salvador and lower statutory tax rates in both Brazil and China) and (iii) the domestic production activities deduction. These items were partially offset by (a) state and local taxes net of the assumed federal benefit and (b) losses in tax jurisdictions for which no tax benefit could be recognized.

The audit of the 2013 tax year by the Internal Revenue Service was closed in December 2015 and did not generate a significant change in uncertain tax positions for the six months ended December 27, 2015. The Company regularly assesses the outcomes of both completed and ongoing examinations to ensure that the Company’s provision for income taxes is sufficient. Certain returns that remain open to examination have utilized carryforward tax attributes generated in prior tax years, including net operating losses, which could potentially be revised upon examination.

During the three months ended December 27, 2015, the Company utilized a foreign tax credit as a deduction by amending its 2011 federal return. Components of the Company’s deferred tax valuation allowance are as follows:

12. Shareholders’ Equity

The following table summarizes the Company’s repurchases and retirements of its common stock under Board-approved stock repurchase programs for the fiscal periods noted.

No dividends were paid during the six months ended December 27, 2015 or in the two most recent fiscal years.

13. 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 (“2008 LTIP”). No additional awards can 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.

As of December 27, 2015, a summary of the number of securities remaining available for future issuance under equity compensation plans is as follows:

Unifi, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Stock options

During the six months ended December 27, 2015 and December 28, 2014, the Company granted stock options to purchase 82 and 150 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 27, 2015 and December 28, 2014, the weighted average exercise price of the options was $32.36 and $27.38 per share, respectively. The Company used the Black-Scholes model to estimate the weighted average grant date fair value of $20.27 and $17.31 per share, respectively.

Restricted stock units

During the six months ended December 27, 2015 and December 28, 2014, the Company granted 21 and 17 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 weighted average fair value of such awards granted during the six months ended December 27, 2015 and December 28, 2014 to be $29.12 and $28.58 per director RSU, respectively.

The Company also may issue, from time to time, RSUs to certain key employees. The Company estimates the fair value of RSUs based on the market price of the Company’s common stock at the award grant date. See note 16 included in the 2015 Form 10-K for further information regarding the Company’s RSUs.

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

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 (income), net resulting from the underlying exposures of the foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. As of December 27, 2015, 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 has decreased $5,000 per quarter since August 2013 to the current notional balance of $50,000, 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.

On November 26, 2012, the Company de-designated the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge. See note 15 for information regarding the reclassifications of amounts from accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the interest rate swap.

Contingent consideration

On December 2, 2013, the Company acquired certain draw-winding assets in a business combination and recorded a contingent consideration liability. 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 that 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 (income), net. While adjustments have been made to reflect lower-than-expected results for draw-winding operations during fiscal year 2016, there have been no significant changes to the other inputs or assumptions used to develop the fair value measurement since the acquisition date.

Unifi, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

A reconciliation of the changes in the fair value follows:

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy used to measure these items are as follows:

Estimates for the fair value of the interest rate swap are obtained from month-end market quotes for contracts with similar terms.

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 27, 2015 and December 28, 2014.

15. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

The components and the changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, as applicable, consist of the following:

Unifi, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

A summary of the after-tax effects of the components of other comprehensive loss for the three months and six months ended December 27, 2015 and December 28, 2014 follows. The summary below excludes pre-tax and tax amounts, as there are no tax components for the activity reflected.

16. Earnings Per Share

The components of the calculation of earnings per share (“EPS”) are as follows:

The calculation of earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of the Company’s common shares outstanding for the applicable period. The calculation of diluted earnings per common share presents the effect of all potential dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the respective period, unless the effect of doing so is anti-dilutive.

17. Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates and Variable Interest Entities

The Company currently maintains investments in three entities classified as unconsolidated affiliates: Parkdale America, LLC (“PAL”); U.N.F. Industries Ltd. (“UNF”); and UNF America LLC (“UNFA”). As of December 27, 2015, the Company’s investment in PAL was $110,059 and the Company’s combined investments in UNF and UNFA were $3,651, reflected within investments in unconsolidated affiliates in the consolidated balance sheets.

Parkdale America, LLC

PAL is a limited liability company treated as a partnership for income tax reporting purposes. The Company has a 34% ownership interest in PAL, which is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. PAL is a producer of cotton and synthetic yarns for sale to the textile industry and apparel market, both foreign and domestic. PAL is subject to price risk related to anticipated fixed-price yarn sales. To protect the gross margin of these sales, PAL may enter into cotton futures to manage changes in raw material prices. The derivative instruments used are listed and traded on an exchange and are thus valued using quoted prices classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. As of December 2015, PAL had no futures contracts designated as cash flow hedges.

Unifi, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

As PAL’s fiscal year end is the Saturday nearest to December 31 and its results are considered significant (in accordance with Regulation S-X Rule 3-09), the Company files an amendment to each Annual Report on Form 10-K on or before 90 days subsequent to PAL’s fiscal year end to provide PAL’s audited financial statements for PAL’s most recent fiscal year. The Company filed an amendment to its 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2014 on April 2, 2015 to provide PAL’s audited financial statements for PAL’s fiscal year ended January 3, 2015. The Company expects to file an amendment to the 2015 Form 10-K on or before April 1, 2016 to provide PAL’s audited financial statements for PAL’s fiscal year ended January 2, 2016.

On February 27, 2015, PAL purchased two manufacturing facilities, plus inventory, for approximately $13,000 cash, and entered into a yarn supply agreement with the seller. PAL has accounted for the transaction as a business combination under the acquisition method, recognizing the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective provisional fair values as of the acquisition date. The Company and PAL concluded that the acquisition did not represent a material business combination. PAL has recognized a provisional bargain purchase gain of approximately $9,381 in its initial accounting for the acquisition for all identified assets and liabilities. The Company and PAL will continue to review the acquisition accounting during the measurement period, and if new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date identifies adjustments to the assets or liabilities initially recognized, as well as any additional assets or liabilities that existed at the acquisition date, the acquisition accounting will be revised to reflect the resulting adjustments to the provisional amounts. The acquisition accounting is incomplete, primarily pending final asset valuations.

The reconciliation between the Company’s share of the underlying equity of PAL and its investment is as follows:

U.N.F. Industries Ltd.

Raw material and production services for UNF are provided by the Company’s 50% joint venture partner under separate supply and services agreements. UNF’s fiscal year end is December 31 and it is a registered Israeli private company located in Migdal Ha-Emek, Israel.

UNF America LLC

Raw material and production services for UNFA are provided by the Company’s 50% joint venture partner under separate supply and services agreements. UNFA’s fiscal year end is December 31 and it is a limited liability company treated as a partnership for income tax reporting purposes located in Ridgeway, Virginia.

In conjunction with the formation of UNFA, the Company entered into a supply agreement with UNF and UNFA whereby the Company agreed to purchase all of its first quality nylon POY requirements for texturing (subject to certain exceptions) from either UNF or UNFA. The agreement has no stated minimum purchase quantities and pricing is negotiated every six months, based on market rates. As of December 27, 2015, the Company’s open purchase orders related to this agreement were $3,192.

The Company’s raw material purchases under this supply agreement consist of the following:

As of December 27, 2015 and June 28, 2015, the Company had combined accounts payable due to UNF and UNFA of $2,565 and $4,038, respectively.

Unifi, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

The Company has determined that UNF and UNFA are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and has also determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of these entities, based on the terms of the supply agreement. As a result, these entities should be consolidated in the Company’s financial results. As the Company purchases substantially all of the output from the two entities, the two entities’ balance sheets constitute 3% or less of the Company’s current assets, total assets and total liabilities (when excluding reciprocal balances), and because such balances are not expected to comprise a larger portion in the future, the Company has not included the accounts of UNF and UNFA in its consolidated financial statements. The financial results of UNF and UNFA are included in the Company’s financial statements with a one-month lag, using the equity method of accounting and with intercompany profits eliminated in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy. Other than the supply agreement discussed above, the Company does not provide any other commitments or guarantees related to either UNF or UNFA.

Condensed balance sheet and income statement information for the Company’s unconsolidated affiliates (including reciprocal balances) is presented in the following tables. As PAL is defined as significant, its information is separately disclosed.

As of the end of PAL’s fiscal December 2015 period, PAL’s amount of deferred revenues related to the cotton rebate program was $0.

As of the end of PAL’s fiscal December 2014 period, PAL’s amount of deferred revenues related to the cotton rebate program was $0.

18. Commitments and Contingencies

Collective Bargaining Agreements

While employees of the Company’s Brazilian operations are unionized, none of the labor force employed by the Company’s domestic or other foreign subsidiaries is currently covered by a collective bargaining agreement.

Environmental

On September 30, 2004, the Company completed its acquisition of the polyester filament manufacturing assets located in Kinston, North Carolina from INVISTA S.a.r.l (“Invista”). The land for the Kinston site was leased pursuant to a 99 year ground lease (“Ground Lease”) with E.I. DuPont de Nemours (“DuPont”). Since 1993, DuPont has been investigating and cleaning up the Kinston site under the supervision of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (“DENR”) pursuant to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Corrective Action program. The Corrective Action program requires DuPont to identify all potential areas of environmental concern (“AOCs”), assess the extent of containment at the identified AOCs and to clean it up to comply with applicable regulatory standards. Effective March 20, 2008, the Company entered into a Lease Termination Agreement associated with conveyance of certain assets at Kinston to DuPont. This agreement terminated the Ground Lease and relieved the Company of any future responsibility for environmental remediation, other than participation with DuPont, if so called upon, with regard to the Company’s period of operation of the Kinston site which was from 2004 to 2008. However, the Company continues to own a satellite service facility acquired in the INVISTA transaction that has contamination from DuPont’s operations and is monitored by DENR. This site has been remediated by DuPont, and DuPont has received authority from DENR to discontinue remediation, other than natural attenuation. DuPont’s duty to monitor and report to DENR will be transferred to the Company in the future, at which time DuPont must pay the Company for seven years of monitoring and reporting costs and the Company will assume responsibility for any future remediation and monitoring of the site. At this time, the Company has no basis to determine if or when it will have any responsibility or obligation with respect to the AOCs or the extent of any potential liability for the same.

Unifi, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) 

Operating Leases

The Company routinely leases sales and administrative office space, warehousing and distribution centers, manufacturing space, transportation equipment, manufacturing equipment, and other information technology and office equipment from third parties. In addition, Renewables leases farm land for use in growing giant miscanthus. In connection with the expansion of growing crop fields, Renewables has entered into multiple operating leases for land during the six months ended December 27, 2015, many of which have lease terms of ten years with cancellation terms of one year. Currently, the Company does not sub-lease any of its leased property.

Other Commitments

The Company has assumed various financial obligations and commitments in the normal course of its operations and financing activities. Financial obligations are considered to represent known future cash payments that the Company is required to make under existing contractual arrangements. During the six months ended December 27, 2015, the Company entered into certain agreements to purchase assets in connection with the construction of a plastic bottle processing plant for the Polyester Segment. Unpaid amounts relating to these agreements total approximately $7,150, and relate to equipment not yet received by the Company.

In October 2015, the Company entered into a commitment to construct assets for future use in conversion of third party product. While the subject assets are being financed by a construction financing arrangement (described in note 9), in the course of facilitating construction, the Company will incur commitments to equipment vendors and contractors. As of December 27, 2015, such commitments total approximately $6,600.
