ITEM 2.06.  MATERIAL IMPAIRMENTS.

Unifi, Inc. (the "Company") previously announced an initiative to improve the efficiency of its nylon business unit and to offer for sale a plant, a warehouse and a central distribution center (the "CDC").  In connection with this initiative, on March 13, 2006 the Company entered into a sale contract to sell the central distribution center and related land located in Mayodan, North Carolina.  The terms of the sale contract call for a sale price of $2,672,100, which is approximately $690,000 below the property's carrying value.  In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", the Company will record an impairment charge of approximately $815,000 during the third quarter of fiscal 2006 which includes estimated selling costs of $125,000 that will be paid from the proceeds of the sale of such impaired property. The Company does not expect this charge to result in any future cash expenditures.  The sale of the CDC is expected to close in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
