Explanation of pro forma adjustments:
(1) The pro forma adjustments to the Statements of Income for the
contribution of Unifi's spun cotton yarn operations to the LLC include only
those revenues and direct operating expenses associated with such business.
In addition to the direct manufacturing and direct selling, general and
administrative expenses eliminated in (2) below, Unifi on a historical basis
had allocated $7.8 million and $11.3 million of such corporate costs to the
spun yarn operations for the nine months ended March 30, 1997 and fiscal year
ended June 30, 1996, respectively. These corporate allocated costs have not
been included in the pro forma adjustments, however Management of Unifi is in
the process of implementing a formal plan that should eliminate certain of
these costs. A reasonable estimate of these cost reductions is not currently
available.
(2) To record the elimination of revenues and direct manufacturing costs
and direct selling, general and administrative expenses associated with the
contribution of Unifi's spun yarn operations to the LLC.
(3) To reduce the interest expense at the rate of 5.85% for the nine
months ended March 30, 1997 and 5.63% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996
related to the $23.5 million of Unifi debt assumed by the LLC, net of
additional required borrowings of $9.95 million.
(4) To reflect Unifi's 34.0% ownership equity in the pro forma earnings of
the LLC. The pro forma earnings of the LLC for the nine months ended March
30, 1997 and the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 combine the historical
operating results of the Unifi spun yarn business for the respective nine and
twelve month periods with the historical operating results of the open-end
and air jet spinning business of Parkdale for the nine months ended June 30,
1997 and the year ended September 30, 1996, respectively, net of the
amortization of the excess of Unifi's investment in the LLC over the
underlying net assets.
(5) For purposes of the pro forma adjustments, the statutory rate of 39.5% is used in the provision for income
tax calculations.
