Item 1. Business.
Texfi Industries, Inc. ("the Company") was incorporated in Delaware in 1963. The Company manufactures and markets a diverse line of textile and apparel products from a variety of raw materials, including natural and synthetic materials. The Company's offices are located at 5400 Glenwood Avenue, Suite 215, Raleigh, North Carolina 27612, telephone (919) 783-4736.
The Company's operations include three divisions: Texfi Blends, Texfi Narrow Fabrics, and Kingstree Knit Apparel. The following discusses each of the Company's three operating divisions and how they contributed to the Company's consolidated 1995 operating performance.
The Texfi Blends Division is the Company's largest division operating three manufacturing facilities which are located in Rocky Mount and Fayetteville, North Carolina and Jefferson, Georgia and combine to provide 845,000 square feet manufacturing facilities. The division's sales and marketing headquarters are in New York City, with branch offices or agents in other major cities throughout the United States and Europe. The Texfi Blends Division contributed 60% of total Company fiscal 1995 sales by manufacturing products made from textured polyester, flame-retardant polyester, and blends of polyester, rayon, and wool. These products are sold worldwide to the menswear, womenswear and childrenswear apparel, uniform, home furnishings, and export markets.
The Kinsgtree Knit Apparel Division operates 676,000 square feet of manufacturing facilities located in Haw River, North Carolina; Andrews, Kingstree, Lane, and Olanta, South Carolina and Midway, Georgia. It has sales offices in Haw River and Charlotte, North Carolina, as well as agents in major cities throughout the United States. This division offers knit apparel made to customer specifications in basic and fashion colors and a broad range of styles and sizes. In addition to basic T-shirts, products include pocket T's, tank tops, fleece tops, as well as hooded, striped, solid-dyed, print, double-collar/double-sleeve, long-sleeve T's. These products are marketed to the branded private label, promotional and garment dyeing markets as well as direct to retailers, screen printers and distributors. Kingstree Knit Apparel also commission knits, dyes and finishes fleece and jersey fabrics for other apparel manufacturers. By emphasizing quality, quick response, innovation and outstanding customer service, the Company believes this division effectively competes in the fast-paced, fashion-oriented private label apparel business. Kingstree Knit Apparel contributed 28% of the Company's fiscal 1995 sales.
The Texfi Narrow Fabrics Division operates 319,000 square feet of manufacturing facilities in Asheboro and Graham, North Carolina. It maintains a sales office in Asheboro, North Carolina and agents in several United States cities. Texfi Narrow Fabrics contributed 12% of total Company fiscal 1995 sales by manufacturing products from polyester, nylon and rubber which are sold domestically to the intimate apparel, insert apparel, medical and automotive markets.
From its inception through 1984, the Company was engaged in manufacturing fabrics made of textured polyester. The decline in consumer demand for polyester knitwear prompted the Company to terminate its knit fabric manufacturing operations in 1984 and restrict production to finished woven fabrics. From 1986 until 1992, the Company's business strategy was to broaden its customer base primarily through the acquisition of other textile operations. These acquisitions allowed the Company to expand its operations into new products such as yarn, greige woven fabrics, narrow fabrics (primarily elasticized) and knitted apparel fabrics (primarily cotton t-shirts). While the Company was able to diversify its products and increase its revenues as a result of these acquisitions, many of these operations proved to be unprofitable and resulted in substantially increased debt.
During the first quarter of 1995, management decided to discontinue operations at its High Point, North Carolina Highland Yarns ("Highland") facility and its Jefferson, Georgia diaper and corduroy facilities. The Company discontinued operations and sold the fixed assets and inventory related to its Marion, North Carolina greige goods operation during the second fiscal quarter of 1995. These discontinuances and dispositions generated $17.5 million in charges which are recorded as a loss from discontinued operations. Because the Highland assets are recorded at the approximate net value expected to be received from liquidation, management does not anticipate any additional future losses related to these discontinued operations. As of November 3, 1995, the Company held $1.5 million in Highland fixed assets which will be disposed of through orderly liquidation during fiscal 1996.
PRODUCT GROUPS
The Company's manufactures three basic product groups:
* woven finished fabrics for the apparel, home furnishings and export markets; * knitted apparel (primarily T-shirts) for the private label and retail markets * narrow knitted and woven fabrics for the intimate apparel and insert apparel markets, as well as automotive accessories and medical applications;
The approximate percentage of total revenue contributed by each of the Company's product groups is as follows:
1995 1994 1993 ------ ------ ------ Woven finished fabrics 60.4 61.9 60.3 Knitted apparel (primarily t-shirts) 27.9 25.6 28.5 Narrow fabrics 11.7 12.5 11.2 ------ ------ ------ 100.0 100.0 100.0 ====== ====== ======
SEASONALITY
During 1995 and 1994, the Company's business exhibited seasonality, primarily due to temporary plant shutdowns during the Christmas/New Year's holiday season. As a result, sales have been and are expected to be lower during the first quarter of the fiscal year while working capital requirements increase in anticipation of higher second quarter sales. Working capital is comprised chiefly of inventories and accounts receivable. Inventories are reported at the lower of cost or market value with cost being determined primarily by the first-in, first-out method. Market value is based on replacement cost or net realizable value, as appropriate. The majority of accounts receivable are due from certain financial institutions with whom the Company has entered into factoring agreements. The Company may be advanced funds in amounts not to exceed 90% of eligible accounts receivables plus 50% of eligible inventories not to exceed a maximum of $10,000,000. All advances have been netted against total factored receivables to comprise part of working capital.
BACKLOG
At November 3, 1995, the Company had a $57,267,000 backlog of orders believed to be firm, as compared to a $61,030,000 backlog at October 28, 1994. The decrease is attributable to the discontinuance and disposition of previously discussed operations. The comparative backlog for the Company's three ongoing operations actually increased from $43,037,000 as of the end of the 1994 fiscal year. The current backlog of orders is expected to be filled prior to the end of fiscal 1996.
CUSTOMERS
In fiscal 1995, the Company's products were sold to more than 1,000 customers, which were primarily domestic manufacturers of apparel and home furnishings, as well as medical suppliers and retailers. Sales to the 10 largest customers represented approximately 24% of total sales, but no one customer accounted for more than 7% of total sales. The Company does not believe that the loss of any one of its customers would have a material adverse effect on the Company.
MARKETING
The Company's products are sold through a sales force of 29 full-time, salaried account executives and 39 independent, commissioned sales representatives who may sell products of other manufacturers, including some competitors of the Company. The Company maintains sales offices in New York City, as well as in Asheboro, Charlotte, and Haw River, North Carolina. The Company's production is determined in large part by customer contracts which are received by its sales force. As part of its marketing effort, the Company continually works to develop new products and processes and improve existing products and processes, but expenditures for these activities are not financially identifiable.
In order to improve its customer service capabilities, the Company has begun utilizing computerized networks with many of its customers in order to provide "quick response" to customer requirements for more competitive product deliveries. By providing these customers with certain direct inventory information, the customers' inventory requirements can be reduced and their inventory carrying costs lowered accordingly.
COMPETITION
The textile and apparel industry is highly competitive with a large number of domestic and foreign manufacturers, none of which dominates the market for any of the Company's product lines. The Company competes on the basis of styling, price, product performance and customer service.
U.S. producers, including the Company, are significantly affected by competition from foreign manufacturers. Rules under the recently enacted General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs ("GATT") would eliminate restrictions on imports of textiles and apparel after a ten-year transition period. The North American Free Trade Agreement ("NAFTA") between the United States, Canada and Mexico has created the world's largest free-trade zone. The Agreement contains safeguards which were sought by the U.S. textile industry, including a rule of origin requirement that products be processed in one of the three countries in order to benefit from NAFTA. There can be no assurance that either NAFTA or GATT will not adversely affect the Company.
Because of the absence of published information regarding sales of competing products by other manufacturers, some of which are privately owned companies or divisions or subsidiaries of large companies, it is not possible to determine precisely the market shares of the Company and its competitors for the Company's various products.
SOURCES OF RAW MATERIALS
The Company purchases from outside suppliers natural and synthetic fibers, rubber, dyes and chemicals for use in its fabric manufacturing operations. The Company purchases virtually all of its textured polyester yarns from the leading independent domestic supplier of such yarns. Fabrics for its apparel manufacturing operations are supplied by the Company's own fabric manufacturing operations. The Company has not experienced a significant shortage of raw materials and believes that such supplies will continue to be available.
EMPLOYEES
As of November 3, 1995, the Company had approximately 3,200 employees with whom it considers its relationship to be good.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Although the Company pursues improvements in the quality, style and performance of its products, research and development expenditures have not accounted for a material portion of the Company's total operating costs.
GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION
The Company believes that it is in substantial compliance with federal, state and local provisions regulating the release of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment.
The existence of groundwater contaminants primarily of a type often found in commonly used industrial solvents was discovered at one of the Company's facilities. This facility has not been operated by the Company since 1980 and has been sold to another party. The State of North Carolina has issued a permit to discharge treated groundwater, and treatment systems have been installed to complete groundwater remediation. The Company's cost to monitor and maintain the treatment system will be approximately $54,000 annually until the site is remediated. In addition, there may be other potential environmental conditions at the site to be addressed, and the remedial plan does not cover these conditions; however, management does not believe that the cost of taking corrective action will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition.
The Company has instituted a corporate policy statement on safety and environmental affairs to ensure that the Company and its divisions comply with federal, state and local regulatory standards relating to safety and environmental pollution controls. Included in this policy is a requirement for periodic compliance audits at each of the Company's facilities. The Company believes that costs to be expended now or in the future to ensure compliance with environmental and safety regulations will not have a material adverse impact on the financial condition of the Company.

Item 2.

Item 2. Properties.
The following table sets forth the location and general character of the principal operating facilities of the Company, which contain approximately 1,840,000 square feet of floor space. All of these plants are in good operating condition and, except as indicated below, owned by the Company. The plants of the Texfi Blends and Texfi Narrow Fabrics Divisions operate three full eight-hour shifts per workday on a five-, six- or seven-day-per-week basis, depending upon market conditions and customer needs. Due to the nature of the production process for the Company's apparel products, its Kingstree Knit Apparel Division sewing plants operate on a single-eight hour shift, 5 day per week basis whereas its Haw River, North Carolina fabric facility operates shifts similar to the other divsions' fabric manufacturing facilities. The Company believes that its facilities are suitable for their present use and that it has adequate production capacity to support anticipated sales growth for fiscal 1996.

Results of Operations Results of operations for 1994 and 1993 have been restated to reflect the discontinuance of certain operations as follows:
-- The discontinuance of the Company's Highland Mills ("Highland") yarn and Jefferson Mills ("Jefferson") diaper and corduroy fabric production during the Company's first fiscal quarter of 1995, and
-- The discontinuance and sale of the Company's Marion Fabrics ("Marion") greige goods business during the second fiscal quarter of 1995.
Fiscal Year 1995 Compared with Fiscal Year 1994 Net sales for fiscal 1995 increased to $257.5 million from $218.1 million, an increase of $39.4 million or 18%. This increase resulted from improved sales at each of the Company's three divisions: $20.5 million in finished fabrics, $16.0 million in apparel, and $2.9 million in narrow fabrics. The finished fabrics division improved primarily as a result of increased demand and delivery of many of the division's synthetic fabrics to the junior girls, women's wear and export markets. Apparel sales increased primarily as a result of the division's continued emphasis on selling primarily to customers in the "private label" and retail areas of the T-shirt business.
Cost of goods sold ("CGS"), as a percentage of net sales, decreased from 90.1% to 88.8% in 1995. This decrease resulted primarily from a combination of changes in the product mix at the appparel division to products with higher margins and a reduction in volume-related operating costs within both the finished fabrics and narrow fabrics divisions. These improvements were partially offset by increased raw material costs, primarily cotton and synthetic yarns.
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") as a percentage of sales decreased from 6.6% in the prior year to 6.3% in 1995. This decrease is primarily a result of the Company's success in keeping the fixed portion of these costs relatively constant (approximately 70% of SG&A is fixed in nature) as the Company increased its 1995 sales volume when compared to 1994.
Financial information as to industry segments is contained in Note 13 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Interest expense increased $1.4 million during 1995 when compared with 1994 despite the Company reducing total debt and factor advances by approximately $25 million primarily during its second and third fiscal quarters of 1995. Interest expense rose primarily due to increases in the prime rate of interest and other comparable interest rate measures, which occurred throughout late fiscal 1994 and fiscal 1995.
Other income decreased to $22,000 in 1995 as compared to $1.6 million in 1994 which included receipt of approximately $1.5 million for the settlement of a lawsuit.
During fiscal 1995, the Company recorded charges totaling $17.5 million to discontinue its Highland, Jefferson and Marion operations. These charges included a loss on disposal of operations totaling $15.3 million which is comprised of the following: $9.8 million in property, plant and equipment, $3.1 million in accounts and notes receivable, $1.2 million in inventory, and $1.2 million in other various costs. As of the end of fiscal 1995, the Company has disposed of all of the assets and liabilities relating to these discontinued operations except for $1.5 million of net property, plant and equipment at Highland which will be liquidated during fiscal
1996 at a price approximating net book value. These discontinued operations generated $21.8 million in sales, $22.4 million in CGS, and $1.6 million in SG&A during fiscal 1995, as compared to $64.8 million, $66.1 million, $4.9 million and $200,000 of sales, CGS, SG&A, and other expense, respectively, in the prior fiscal year.
As discussed more fully in Note 9 of the Consolidated Financial Statements, as of November 3, 1995, net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $44.8 million remain to offset future taxable income.
Fiscal Year 1994 Compared with Fiscal Year 1993 Net sales for fiscal 1994 decreased to $218.1 million compared to net sales of $237.3 million in 1993. This $19.2 million (8.1%) decrease resulted from the decreased sales of finished fabrics ($24.4 million) which offset increased sales of knit apparel (primarily T-shirts) ($4.5 million) and narrow fabrics ($721,000). The decreased sales of finished fabrics resulted primarily from the continued weakness of the retail market for apparel made from synthetic finished fabrics, primarily polyester and rayon. The increased sales of knit apparel resulted from the Company's change of its product mix from basic T-shirts to more fashion and value-added products as well as improved market conditions in the overall T-shirt market.
CGS, as a percentage of net sales, increased from 89.6% in 1993 to 90.1% in 1994. This increase resulted from a combination of changes in product mix and selling prices, increases in raw material costs, primarily cotton, and other volume-related operating costs, and fixed manufacturing costs increasing as a percentage of sales.
SG&A decreased from 6.9% to 6.6% as a percentage of sales for fiscal 1994 compared with fiscal 1993. This decrease resulted primarily from the Company's efforts to reduce or maintain fixed SG&A expenses, primarily salaries and benefits, at their 1993 levels.
Interest expense increased approximately $523,000 (5.1%) from $10.2 million in 1993 to $10.7 million. This increase resulted primarily from the redemption of $5.1 million of preferred stock with a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of $34.5 million of Senior Subordinated Debentures due August 1, 1999 ("8.75% Debentures") during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1993. In addition, increases in the prime rate of interest from 6% to 7.75% during fiscal 1994 along with corresponding increases in other comparable interest rate measures resulted in increased interest on the Company's variable rate debt and factor advances. These increases offset decreases in interest which resulted from the Company reducing its debt obligations by $7.3 million in 1994 as reflected on the statement of cash flows.
Other income totaled $1.6 million in 1994 as compared to other expense of $2.0 million in 1993. This change was due to nonrecurring charges ($2.1 million) in 1993 and income ($1.5 million) in 1994 for the settlement of various lawsuits.
Capital Resources and Liquidity During 1995 and 1994, the Company's business exhibited seasonality, primarily due to temporary plant shutdowns during the Christmas/New Year's holiday season. As a result, sales have been and are expected to be lower during the first quarter of the fiscal year while working capital requirements increase in anticipation of higher second quarter sales. Working capital is comprised chiefly of accounts receivable and inventory. Traditionally, the Company has maintained financing capacity for working capital and other general corporate purposes under certain factoring agreements and other comparable short-term borrowing arrangements. The Company may be advanced funds in amounts not to exceed 90% of eligible accounts receivable plus 50% of eligible inventories, not to exceed a maximum of $10 million. The amounts reported on the balance sheet as "Due From Factor" represent accounts receivable with factors net of advances. As of November 3, 1995, the Company had approximately $11.0 million of funds available under its factoring arrangements.
As of November 3, 1995, working capital equaled $4.2 million, a decrease of $8 million from the fiscal year ended October 28, 1994. This decrease in working capital is due primarily to decreases in inventory ($14.0 million) and accounts receivable ($1.2 million) which more than offset decreases in current maturities of long-term debt ($3.0 million) and accounts payable ($2.8 million) and increases in property, plant and equipment held for disposal ($1.5 million). Reductions in inventories and accounts receivable resulted primarily from the discontinuance of certain Company operations as previously discussed.
The Company's operating activities generated $13.0 million in net cash during the 1995 fiscal year. Adjustments to the fiscal year net loss of $16.9 million included non-cash transactions of $12.3 million and the net loss on disposition of property, plant and equipment of $9.4 million. In addition, while reductions in inventories, prepaid and other assets provided $14.4 million, increases in receivables and decreases in liabilities required $6.2 million. Cash flows generated by operations when combined with the $9.4 million in net proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment were applied to reduce long-term debt and subordinated debentures totaling $20.0 million and purchase property, plant and equipment and intangibles approximating $3.1 million.
During the second quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company sold its discontinued Marion Fabrics greige goods operations for approximately $10.7 million, which included all property, plant and equipment and inventory related to the Marion, N.C. plant. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company incurred an additional $2.0 million loss on discontinued operations, primarily due to default by the purchaser of Marion Fabrics on the $2 million subordinated note received in conjunction with the sale cash proceeds. The note receivable was sold to affiliates of the purchaser for $400,000 after reduction by $330,000 for certain post-closing adjustments.
On October 29, 1990, the Company obtained a $40 million credit facility, which has been fully funded. Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest, at the Company's option, at either prime plus 1% or an alternative rate based upon LIBOR or CD rates. The facility balance outstanding at the end of the 1995 fiscal year totaling $18 million is payable in monthly installments through the end of fiscal 1997. The credit facility places limitations on the Company's rental expense, additional indebtedness, acquisitions, capital expenditures and sale or disposal of assets. The Company is also required to maintain a stated amount of working capital and tangible net worth as well as certain financial ratios, including stated ratios of assets to current liabilities and of earnings to fixed charges. This facility has been periodically amended as follows: (i) to make the restrictive covenants less restrictive in order that the Company would remain in compliance with all covenant requirements, (ii) defer and reduce principal payments to assist the Company in meeting its cash demands, (iii) provide for the applicable interest rate margin on the prime, CD and LIBOR rates of interest to be changed within a certain range based on the ratio of the Company's senior debt plus factor advances to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amoritzation and raise the margin associated with the CD and LIBOR rates of interest, and (iv) effect certain other changes. The Company is in compliance with all of the facility's covenant requirements.
As of November 3, 1995 the Company has approximately $2.7 million of its Series C Debentures outstanding. The annual interest rate of these debentures may be adjusted at the sole discretion of the Company on April 1st of each year until maturity in the year 2000. The Series C Debentures are redeemable on April 1st of each year, in whole or in part, at the option of the holder or the Company for the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest through the date of redemption.
On September 8, 1993, the Company issued $34.5 million in principal amount of Senior Subordinated Debentures due August 1, 1999 ("8 3/4% Debentures"). The 8 3/4% Debentures, which cannot be called prior to their maturity date, are unsecured obligations but contain covenants that place limitations on the use of proceeds from disposal of assets and on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and senior indebtedness (as defined in the indenture) if such indebtedness would exceed stated ratios of capitalization and earnings after such incurrence. Under the most restrictive of these covenants, the Company may not incur additional indebtedness if, after giving effect to such incurrence, the aggregate amount of indebtedness of the Company would
exceed 75% of the sum of all indebtedness and stockholders' equity. Advances under the Company's factoring agreements are not considered indebtedness for the purpose of these covenants. The Company is currently prohibited by this covenant from incurring aditional indebtedness because of the 1995 reduction in common stockholders' equity primarily resulting from the $17.5 million charges to record discontinued operations.
Net proceeds from the issue of the 8 3/4% Debentures was $33.5 million (net $1.0 million issue costs). These funds were used to redeem all outstanding shares of preferred stock ($5.1 million) and all outstanding Series A and Series B Debentures ($8.4 million), repay long-term debt ($8.1 million) and reduce factor advances ($11.9 million).
The Company has significant lease obligations that are classified as operating leases and therefore are not reflected in the balance sheet. The aggregate future minimum lease payments under these leases for their initial or remaining noncancellable terms were $10.7 million as of November 3, 1995, including $3.2 million for fiscal 1996. The Company plans to place into service $7.7 million of machinery and equipment during fiscal 1996. This equipment primarily will increase fabric dyeing and finishing capacity and further automate the inspection process at the Company's finished fabrics division as well as increase knit apparel production sewing capacity. Management anticipates that approximately $7.3 million of the $7.7 million of equipment will be placed into service through a committed operating lease line and thus excluded from the Company's balance sheet.
Management believes cash flows from operations and funds available under factoring agreements will provide the Company with sufficient sources of funds to meet its 1996 cash needs and, assuming no significant deterioration in current market conditions, for the foreseeable future.
Environmental Matters and Litigation In 1992 the Company adopted a corporate policy statement on safety and environmental affairs to ensure that the Company and its divisions comply with all federal, state and local regulatory standards relating to safety and environmental pollution controls. Included in this policy is a requirement for periodic compliance audits at each of the Company's facilities. The Company has addressed and continues to address certain environmental conditions and potential conditions at a former plant site. The Company believes that costs to be expended now or in the future to ensure compliance with environmental and safety regulations will not have a material adverse impact on the financial statements of the Company.
The Company is also involved in various litigation arising during the ordinary course of business. The final resolution of these matters cannot be determined; however, it is management's opinion these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position and future liquidity.
Inflation The Company believes that inflation affects its business to an extent no greater than it affects the textile and apparel industries generally and the economy as a whole.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the divisions of Texfi Industries, Inc. and one wholly-owned inactive subsidiary (the "Company"). Intercompany transactions and profits and losses have been eliminated.
B. Fiscal Year The Company's operations are based on a fifty-two, fifty-three week fiscal year ending on the Friday closest to October 31. The 1995 fiscal year includes 53 weeks while the 1994 and 1993 fiscal years each consist of 52 weeks.
C. Reclassifications Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 1995 presentation and reflect discontinued operations. There is no effect on net income or common stockholders' equity.
D. Accounts Receivable -- Factored The Company has entered into factoring agreements with several financial institutions whereby it may assign certain receivables generally without recourse as to credit risk. As a result, these factored receivables are shown net of funds borrowed in advance of collection on such sales. The Company may be advanced funds in amounts not to exceed 90% of eligible accounts receivable plus 50% of eligible inventories, not to exceed a maximum of $10 million. Gross factor receivables and advances equaled $51.5 million and $44.5 million, respectively, at November 3, 1995 and $59.2 million and $49.2 million, respectively, at October 28, 1994. Concentration of credit risk is limited due to the large number of customers to which the Company sells its products (no one customer accounted for more than 7% of the Company's 1995 sales or 4% of the Company's 1994 sales) and the use of several factors to assign the invoices for sales to its customers. The Company generally requires no collateral for its accounts receivable. Interest paid on factor advances in 1995, 1994 and 1993 was $4,676,000, $3,150,000 and $3,535,000, respectively.
E. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined primarily on the basis of the first-in, first-out method. Market value is based on replacement cost or net realizable value, as appropriate.
F. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. For financial statement purposes, depreciation is determined primarily by the straight-line method. For income tax purposes, the straight-line and accelerated methods are used. Interest costs incurred in the construction or acquisition of property, plant and equipment are capitalized.
G. Revenue Recognition Sales are recorded upon shipment or designation of specific goods for later shipment at customers' request with related risk of ownership passing to such customers.
H. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted rates which will be in effect when these temporary differences reverse. Deferred tax expense results from the change in the liability accounts for deferred taxes. Investment tax credits are accounted for by the flow-through method as a reduction of federal income tax expense.
I. Amortization of Goodwill Goodwill, which represents the excess of the cost of purchased companies over the fair value of their net assets at dates of acquisition, is being amortized on the straight-line method over 40 years. The carrying value of goodwill is reviewed if the facts and circumstances suggest that goodwill may be impaired. Should this review indicate that goodwill will not be recoverable, the Company would reduce the recorded goodwill by an appropriate amount.
J. Earnings Per Common Share Primary earnings per common share are based on the average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents of dilutive stock options outstanding during the year.
Fully diluted earnings per common share are computed assuming conversion of the 11 1/4% Convertible Senior Subordinated Debentures into common stock as of the beginning of the year, and the interest expense thereon, net of income taxes, was added to net income.
K. Discontinued Operations During the first quarter of 1995, the Company discontinued its commodity yarn, corduroy and diaper fabric production. During the second quarter of 1995, the Company discontinued and sold its greige goods manufacturing facility. Operating losses for these operations totaling $6.24 million ($.77 per share) and $2.52 million ($.33 per share), in 1994 and 1993, respectively, have been reclassified in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of November 3, 1995, property, plant and equipment related to discontinued operations which will be disposed of by orderly liquidation during the 1996 fiscal year are as follows (in thousands):
During the fourth quarter of 1993, the Company discontinued its retail operations and classified $721,000 of 1993 operating losses as loss from operations of discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
L. Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
2. Inventories
Inventories at November 3, 1995 and October 28, 1994 are summarized as follows:
[CAPTION]
3. Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment at November 3, 1995 and October 28, 1994 consists of the following:
[CAPTION]
4. Long-term Debt, Pledged Assets and Notes Payable
Long-term debt at November 3, 1995 and October 28, 1994 consists of the following:
[CAPTION]
Payments due on long-term debt during each of the five succeeding years and thereafter are listed below:
Certain long-term debt agreements contain various covenants and restrictions, including (a) provisions relating to maintenance of working capital, certain financial ratios, and a specified minimum total of net worth and subordinated debt, as defined, and (b) restrictions on additional borrowings and the purchase, sale and lease of real and personal property.
Interest paid on debt, other than debentures, in 1995, 1994 and 1993 was $2,504,000, $2,885,000, and $3,220,000, respectively.
5. Subordinated Debentures
Debentures outstanding at November 3, 1995 and October 28, 1994 consist of the following:
[CAPTION]
On September 8, 1993, the Company issued $34.5 million in principal amount of Senior Subordinated Debentures due August 1, 1999 ("8 3/4% Debentures"). The 8 3/4% Debentures, which cannot be called prior to their maturity date, are unsecured obligations but contain covenants that place limitations on the use of proceeds from disposal of assets and on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and senior indebtedness (as defined in the indenture) if such indebtedness would exceed stated ratios of capitalization and earnings after such incurrence. Under the most restrictive of these covenants, the Company may not incur additional indebtedness if after giving effect to such incurrence, the aggregate amount of indebtedness of the Company would exceed 75% of the sum of all indebtedness and stockholders' equity. Advances under the Company's factoring agreements are not considered indebtedness for the purpose of these covenants. The Company is currently prohibited by this covenant from incurring additional indebtedness because of the 1995 reduction in common stockholders' equity primarily from the $17.5 million charge to record discontinued operations.
Net proceeds from the issue of the 8 3/4% Debentures totaled $33.5 million (net $1.0 million issue costs). These funds were used to redeem all outstanding shares of preferred stock ($5.1 million) and all outstanding Series A and Series B Debentures ($8.4 million), repay long-term debt ($8.1 million) and reduce factor advances ($11.9 million).
In April 1990, the Company issued $7.1 million in principal amount of Subordinated Extendible Debentures due April 1, 2000, Series C (11%) (the "Series C Debentures") in an underwritten public offering. The annual interest rate of the Series C Debentures may be adjusted at the sole discretion of the Company on April 1, 1995 and on each April 1 thereafter until maturity in 2000. The Company reset the interest rate on the Series C Debentures to 13% for the period April 1, 1995 through March 31, 1996. The Series C Debentures were redeemable on April 1, 1995 and will be redeemable on each April 1 thereafter until maturity, in
whole or in part, at the option of the holder or the Company for the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest through the date of redemption. On April 1, 1995, $4.4 million of Series C Debentures were redeemed at the holders' option.
The 11 1/4% Convertible Senior Subordinated Debentures due October 1, 1997 are convertible at any time prior to maturity into common stock of the Company at $6.69 per share (subject to antidilutive provisions of the indenture). Interest is payable semiannually. The 11 1/4% Debentures are not subject to a sinking fund while the Company maintains a positive, tangible net worth. The payment of the principal and interest on the 11 1/4% Debentures is subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all senior indebtedness of the Company as defined in the indenture.
Interest paid on subordinated debentures in 1995, 1994 and 1993 was $3,984,000, $3,886,000 and $2,214,000, respectively.
6. Stock Options and Stock Purchase Rights
At November 3, 1995, options to purchase previously unissued shares of common stock were outstanding under stock option plans. Payment for shares purchased upon exercise of an option granted under these plans may be made either in cash or in common stock of the Company.
Information with respect to stock options outstanding is as follows:
Options on 53,390 shares, 239,880 shares and 232,407 shares were exercisable at November 3, 1995, October 28, 1994 and October 29, 1993, respectively. Under the plans, 564,184 shares, 491,611 shares and 378,769 shares of common stock were available for the granting of additional options at November 3, 1995, October 28, 1994 and October 29, 1993, respectively.
Effective July 22, 1988, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a Rights Agreement and approved the distribution to stockholders of record on August 9, 1988 of one Preferred Share Purchase Right ("Right") for each outstanding share of the Company's common stock. Each Right, when exercisable, generally entitles common stockholders to purchase one one-hundredth of a share of a new series of preferred stock, designated as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, at a price of $30. The Rights will generally be exercisable and transferable apart from the Company's common stock upon acquisition by a person or group of 30% or more of the Company's common stock (amended by the Board of Directors in 1994 to change 15% to 30%), the announcement of a tender offer for 20% or more of the Company's common stock or a determination by the Board of Directors that any holder of 12% or more of the Company's common stock is an "adverse person." The Rights will expire on August 9, 1998, unless such date is extended by the Company's Board of Directors or the Rights are redeemed prior to that time.
7. Common Stockholders' Equity
At November 3, 1995, shares of common stock were reserved for possible issuance as follows:
Primary and fully diluted earnings (loss) per common share have been computed on the basis of weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents (when not antidilutive) outstanding as follows:
8. Redeemable Preferred Stock
In October of 1993, the Company redeemed all outstanding shares of its preferred stock and all of the outstanding Series A and Series B Subordinated Debentures with a portion of the net proceeds of its September 8, 1993 issue of 8 3/4% Senior Subordinated Debentures due August 1, 1999 (Note 5).
9. Income Taxes
As of November 3, 1995, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of $44.8 million for income tax purposes which are available through the year 2010. For financial reporting purposes, a valuation allowance of $15.7 million has been recognized to offset the deferred tax asset related to these carryforwards. The Company has Alternative Minimum Tax credits totaling $377,000 and Investment Tax credits of $29,000 available to reduce income taxes payable in future periods. The Investment Tax credits expire during 1996 through 2001.
Deferred income tax expense results from temporary differences related primarily to net operating loss carryforwards. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax asset as of November 3, 1995 and October 28, 1994 are as follows:
[CAPTION]
Income taxes paid in 1995, 1994 and 1993 were $-0-, $-0-, and $465,000, respectively.
10. Employee Benefit Plans
The Company maintains a defined contribution plan (401(k)) covering substantially all employees who have completed six months of service. The plan requires the Company to match up to $150 per year for each participating employee's contributions. Discretionary Company contributions are determined annually by the Board of Directors based on results of operations. These discretionary contributions may either match employee amounts or represent fixed amounts. The Company contributed approximately $146,000, $215,000, and $304,000 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
11. Rental Expense and Lease Obligations
Rental expense is summarized as follows:
[CAPTION]
Future obligations for minimum rentals under operating leases and capital leases that have initial or remaining noncancellable lease terms in excess of one year at November 3, 1995 and rentals to be received under noncancellable subleases are as follows:
Certain operating leases contain renewal options ranging from one to five years and/or contain purchase options, generally approximating fair market value.
12. Contingent Liabilities and Commitments
The Company is involved in various litigation arising during the ordinary course of business. The final outcome of this litigation cannot be determined; however, it is management's opinion that the final resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position and future liquidity.
13. Industry Segments
The Company operates in two industry segments: the manufacture and sale of textiles and the manufacture and sale of apparel. Within the textile segment, the Company is engaged primarily in the development, production and sale of finished fabrics and elastic narrow fabrics for the home furnishing, automotive, medical and various apparel markets. Within the apparel segment, the Company is engaged principally in the development, production and sale of T-shirts. Sales by these product groups accounted for 60.4%, 11.7%, and 27.9%, respectively, of total 1995 sales; 61.9%, 12.5%, and 25.6%, respectively, of total 1994 sales; and 60.3%, 11.2% and 28.5%, respectively, of total 1993 sales to unaffiliated customers.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Texfi Industries, Inc. and subsidiary at November 3, 1995 and October 28, 1994 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended November 3, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
