NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

(amounts in thousands, except per share data)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial statements which do not include all the information and notes required by such accounting principles for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (generally consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the accompanying financial statements. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in ~~the Company's 2017~~The Dixie Group, Inc.'s and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Company") 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the fiscal year ended December ~~30, 2017.~~29, 2018. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June ~~30, 2018~~29, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire ~~2018~~2019 year.

Based on applicable accounting standards, the Company has determined that it has one reportable segment, Floorcovering, comprised of two operating segments, Residential and Commercial. Pursuant to applicable accounting standards, the Company has aggregated the two operating segments into one reporting segment because they have similar economic characteristics, and the operating segments are similar in all of the following areas: (a) the nature of the products and services; (b) the nature of the production processes; (c) the type or class of customer for their products and services; (d) the methods used to distribute their products or provide their services; and (e) the nature of the regulatory environment.

NOTE 2 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Accounting ~~Standard~~Standards Adopted in Fiscal ~~2018~~2019

In ~~May 2014,~~February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. ~~2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)~~". The ASU requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU and all subsequently issued clarifying ASUs replaced most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. The ASU was effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The ASU also required expanded disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Additionally, qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required for customer contracts, significant judgments and changes in judgments. The Company adopted the new standard effective December 31, 2017, the first day of the Company's fiscal year, using the full retrospective method approach and expanded its financial statement disclosures in order to comply with the ASU. (See Note 3.) The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The majority of the Company's revenue arrangements generally consist of a single performance obligation to transfer promised goods or services. Based on the Company's evaluation process and review of its contracts with customers, the timing (point in time) and amount of revenue recognized previously is consistent with how revenue is recognized under the new standard.

Therefore, no changes were required to its reported revenues as a result of the adoption. However, the adoption resulted in the recognition of an asset related to certain product returns by increasing the returns liability for December 30, 2017 and recognizing a corresponding asset for the estimated value of the returns from customers; this gross up had no corresponding impact on the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 30, 2017 has been adjusted to reflect retrospective application of the new accounting standard as follows:

December 30, 2017
As Previously Reported Adjustments As Adjusted
ASSETS
Prepaids and other current assets $ 3,600
$ 1,069
$ 4,669

LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Accrued expenses $ 30,291
$ 1,069
$ 31,360

As part of the adoption of the ASU, the Company elected to use the following practical expedients (i) to exclude disclosures of transaction prices allocated to remaining performance obligations when the Company expects to recognize such revenue for all periods prior to the date of initial application of the ASU; (ii) not to adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between the Company's transfer

~~(UNAUDITED)~~

~~(amounts in thousands, except per share data) (Continued)~~

of a promised product or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that product or service will be one year or less; (iii) to expense costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract when the amortization period would have been one year or less; (iv) not to recast revenues for contracts that begin and end in the same fiscal year; and (v) not to assess whether promised goods or services are performance obligations if they are immaterial in the context of the contract with the customer. The Company's revenue is recognized at a point in time based on the transfer of control whereby the Company does not invest in contract costs that are recoverable. In addition, performance obligations and customer payments are within one year or less. For these reasons, there is not a significant impact as a result of electing these practical expedients.

~~Accounting Standards Yet to Be Adopted~~

~~In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.~~ 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)," which requires lessees to recognize on the ~~balance sheet a~~Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet right-of-use ~~asset,~~assets, representing the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, and a lease liability for all leases with terms greater than 12 months. The guidance also requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures designed to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11 providing an optional transition method allowing entities to apply the new lease standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative effect adjustment in the period of adoption. The Company has elected to take this transition method.

The Company adopted the new standard ~~requires~~effective December 30, 2018, the ~~use~~first day of athe Company's fiscal year. Consistent with the optional transition method allowed as part of the modified retrospective transition approach ~~which includes~~provided in ASU No. 2018-11, the Company did not adjust comparative periods. The new standard applied to leases that have commenced as of the effective date, December 30, 2018, with a ~~number~~cumulative effect adjustment recorded as of ~~optional~~that date. The Company also elected to apply the package of practical expedients ~~that entities may~~allowed in ASC 842-10-65-1 whereby the Company need not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, the Company need not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and the Company need not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company's adoption of the ASU resulted in the addition of Right of Use Assets on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet for the right to use the underlying assets of operating leases. The Company did not elect to ~~apply. ASU 2016-02~~use hindsight for transition when considering judgments and estimates such as assessments of lessee options to extend or terminate a lease or purchase the underlying asset. In addition, the corresponding liability for the remaining balance of the operating leases is ~~effective~~included in the liability section of the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments," which amends the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the current incurred loss methodology, which will result in the more timely recognition of losses. For public entities, ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application will be permitted for all organizations for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company does not believe the adoption of this ASU, including the subsequently issued codification improvements update ("Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments," ASU 2019-04) and the targeted transition relief update ("Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326)," ASU 2019-05), will have a significant impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements due to the nature of the Company's customers and the limited amount of write-offs in past years.

In August ~~2017,~~2018, the FASB issued ASU ~~No. 2017-12, "~~2018-13, “~~Derivatives and Hedging~~Fair Value Measurement (Topic ~~815): Targeted Improvements~~820) - Disclosure Framework - Changes to ~~Accounting~~the Disclosure Requirements for ~~Hedging Activities.~~Fair Value Measurement".” This update is a part of FASB’s disclosure framework project to improve

The Company does not believe that the adoption of this ASU will have a significant impact on its consolidated condensed financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20) - Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans.” This update is a part of FASB’s disclosure framework project to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to financial statements. The amendments in this update modify the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. This standard is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, this update is to be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this ASU will have a significant impact on its consolidated condensed financial statements.

NOTE 3 - REVENUE

Revenue Recognition Policy

The Company derives its revenues primarily from the sale of floorcovering products and processing services. Revenues are recognized when control of these products or services is transferred to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products and services. Sales, value add, and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling fees charged to customers are reported within revenue. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense. The Company does not have any significant financing components as payment is received at or shortly after the point of sale. The Company determined revenue recognition through the following steps:

Identification of the contract with a customer

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract

Determination of the transaction price

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

Recognition of revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied

Contract Balances

Other than receivables that represent an unconditional right to consideration, which are presented separately (See Note 4), the Company does not recognize any contract assets which give conditional rights to receive consideration, as the Company does not incur costs to obtain customer contracts that are recoverable. The Company often receives cash payments from customers in advance of the Company’s performance for limited production run orders resulting in contract liabilities. These contract liabilities are classified in accrued expenses in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets based on the timing of when the Company expects to recognize revenue, which is typically less than a year. The net decrease or increase in the contract liabilities is primarily driven by order activity for limited runs requiring deposits offset by the recognition of revenue and application of deposit on the receivables ledger for such activity during the period. The activity in the advanced deposits for the three and six ~~months~~month periods ended June 29, 2019 and June 30, 2018 ~~and July 1, 2017~~ is as follows:


	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended						Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended

Performance Obligations

For performance obligations related to residential floorcovering and commercial floorcovering products, control transfers at a point in time. To indicate the transfer of control, the Company must have a present right to payment, legal title must have passed to the customer and the customer must have the significant risks and rewards of ownership. The Company’s principal terms of sale are FOB Shipping Point and FOB Destination and the Company transfers control and records revenue for product sales either upon shipment or delivery to the customer, respectively. Revenue is allocated to each performance obligation based on its relative stand-alone selling prices. Stand-alone selling prices are based on observable prices at which the Company separately sells the products or services.

~~(amounts in thousands, except per share data) (Continued)~~

Variable Consideration

The nature of the Company’s business gives rise to variable consideration, including rebates, allowances, and returns that generally decrease the transaction price, which reduces revenue. These variable amounts are generally credited to the customer, based on achieving certain levels of sales activity, product returns, or price concessions.

Variable consideration is estimated at the most likely amount that is expected to be earned. Estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Estimates of variable consideration are estimated based upon historical experience and known trends.

Warranties

The Company generally provides product warranties related to manufacturing defects and specific performance standards for its products for a period of up to two years. The Company accrues for estimated future assurance warranty costs in the period in which the sale is recorded. The costs are included in Cost of Sales in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations and the product warranty reserve is included in accrued expenses in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The Company calculates its accrual using the portfolio approach based upon historical experience and known trends. (See Note 9.) The Company does not provide an additional service-type warranty.

Revolving Credit Facility

The revolving credit facility provides for a maximum of $150,000 of revolving credit, subject to borrowing base availability. The borrowing base is currently equal to specified percentages of the Company's eligible accounts receivable, inventories, fixed assets and real property less reserves established, from time to time, by the administrative agent under the facility. The revolving credit facility matures on September 23, 2021. The revolving credit facility is secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company's assets.

At the Company's election, advances of the revolving credit facility bear interest at annual rates equal to either (a) LIBOR for one, two or three-month periods, as selected by the Company, plus an applicable margin ranging between 1.50% and 2.00%, or (b) the higher of the prime rate, the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5%, or a daily LIBOR rate plus 1.00%, plus an applicable margin ranging between 0.50% and 1.00%. The applicable margin is determined based on availability under the revolving credit facility with margins increasing as availability decreases. As of June ~~30, 2018,~~29, 2019, the applicable margin on ~~our~~the Company's revolving credit facility was 1.75%. The Company pays an unused line fee on the average amount by which the aggregate commitments exceed utilization of the revolving credit facility equal to 0.375% per annum. The weighted-average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility was ~~4.41%~~4.58% at June ~~30,~~29, 2019 and December 29, 2018, ~~and 4.12% at December 30, 2017.~~respectively.

The revolving credit facility includes certain affirmative and negative covenants that impose restrictions on the Company's financial and business operations. The revolving credit facility restricts the Company's borrowing availability if its fixed charge coverage ratio is less than 1.1 to 1.0. During any period that the fixed charge coverage ratio is less than 1.1 to 1.0, the Company's borrowing availability is reduced by $16,500. As of June ~~30, 2018,~~29, 2019, the unused borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility was ~~$26,780;~~$26,565; however, since the Company's fixed charge coverage ratio was less than 1.1 to 1.0, the unused availability accessible by the Company was ~~$10,280~~$10,065 (the amount above $16,500) at June ~~30, 2018.~~29, 2019.

NOTE 11 - LEASES

The ~~Company's capitalized~~Company determines if an arrangement is an operating lease ~~obligations have terms ranging from 3 to 7 years, bear interest ranging from 3.55% to 7.76%~~or a financing lease at inception. Lease assets and ~~are due in monthly or quarterly installments through their maturity dates. The Company's capital lease~~ obligations are ~~secured~~recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the term of the lease. The Company generally uses its incremental borrowing rate, which is based on information available at the lease commencement date, to determine the present value of lease payments.

The Company has operating leases primarily for real estate and equipment used in manufacturing. Operating lease expense is recognized in continuing operations by amortizing the ~~specific equipment leased.~~amount recorded as an asset on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Financing lease expense is comprised of both interest expense, which will be recognized using the effective interest method, and amortization of the right-of-use assets. These expenses are presented consistently with the presentation of other interest expense and amortization or depreciation of similar assets. In determining lease asset values, the Company considers fixed and variable payment terms, prepayments, incentives, and options to extend, terminate or purchase. Renewal, termination, or purchase options affect the lease term used for determining lease asset value only if the option is reasonably certain to be exercised.

Balance sheet information related to right-of-use assets and liabilities is as follows:

NOTE 1112 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the exchange value of an asset or a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The fair value guidance outlines a valuation framework and establishes a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and disclosures. The hierarchy consists of three levels as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date;

Level 2 - Other than quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and other than quoted prices for assets or liabilities and prices that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means; and

Level 3 - Measurements using management's best estimate of fair value, where the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

(1)

The Company uses certain external sources in deriving the fair value of the interest rate swaps. The interest rate swaps were valued using observable inputs (e.g., LIBOR yield curves, credit spreads). Valuations of interest rate swaps may fluctuate considerably from period-to-period due to volatility in underlying interest rates, which are driven by market conditions and the duration of the instrument. Credit adjustments could have a significant impact on the valuations due to changes in credit ratings of the Company or its counterparties.

NOTE 1213 - DERIVATIVES

The Company's earnings, cash flows and financial position are exposed to market risks relating to interest rates. It is the Company's policy to minimize its exposure to adverse changes in interest rates and manage interest rate risks inherent in funding the Company with debt. The Company addresses this risk by maintaining a mix of fixed and floating rate debt and entering into interest rate swaps for a portion of its variable rate debt to minimize interest rate volatility.

The following is a summary of the Company's interest rate swaps outstanding as of June ~~30, 2018:~~29, 2019:


Type	Notional Amount			Effective Date	Fixed Rate	Variable Rate	Notional Amount			Effective Date	Fixed Rate	Variable Rate

NOTE 1314 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Defined Contribution Plans

The Company sponsors a 401(k) defined contribution plan that covers approximately ~~86%~~85% of the Company's current associates. This plan includes a mandatory Company match on the first 1% of participants' contributions. The Company matches the next 2% of participants' contributions if the Company meets prescribed earnings levels. The plan also provides for additional Company contributions above the 3% level if the Company attains certain additional performance targets. Matching contribution (credit) expense for this 401(k) plan was ~~$(33)~~$(7) and ~~$245~~$(33) for the three months ended June 29, 2019 and June 30, 2018, ~~and July 1, 2017,~~ respectively, and ~~$231~~$223 and ~~$478~~$231 for the six months ended June 29, 2019 and June 30, 2018, ~~and July 1, 2017,~~ respectively. The reduction in the matching contribution expense for the three months ended June 29, 2019 and June 30, 2018 was a result of revising the estimated match for the year.

Additionally, the Company sponsors a 401(k) defined contribution plan that covers approximately ~~14%~~15% of the Company's current associates at one facility who are under a collective-bargaining agreement. Under this plan, the Company generally matches ~~participants' contributions, on a sliding scale, up to a maximum of 2.75% of the participant's earnings. Matching contribution expense~~

Non-Qualified Retirement Savings Plan

The Company sponsors a non-qualified retirement savings plan that allows eligible associates to defer a specified percentage of their compensation. The obligations owed to participants under this plan were ~~$15,462~~$15,496 at June ~~30, 2018~~29, 2019 and ~~$17,010~~$13,943 at December ~~30, 2017~~29, 2018 and are included in other long-term liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

If the Company were to withdraw from the multi-employer plan, a withdrawal liability would be due, the amount of which would be determined by the plan. The withdrawal liability, as determined by the plan, would be a function of contribution rates, fund status, discount rates and ~~July 1, 2017, respectively.~~various other factors at the time of any such withdrawal.

NOTE 1415 - INCOME TAXES

~~On December 22, 2017, the President signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”).~~ The ~~Tax Act, among other things, lowered the U.S. corporate income~~effective tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. While the Company has substantially completed its provisional analysis of the income tax effects of the Tax Act and recorded a reasonable estimate of such effects during the fourth quarter of 2017, the charge related to the Tax Act may differ, possibly materially, due to, among other things, further refinement of its calculations, changes in interpretations and assumptions that the Company has made or additional guidance that may be issued related to the Tax Act. Pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, the Company will complete its analysis over a one-year measurement period from the enactment date, and any adjustments during this measurement period will be included in income from continuing operations as an adjustment to income tax expense in the reporting period when such adjustments are determined.

~~The benefit~~ rate for the six months ending June ~~30, 2018~~29, 2019 was ~~3.8%~~1.7% compared with ~~an effective income tax~~a benefit rate of ~~38.6%~~3.8% for the six months ending ~~July 1, 2017.

The~~ six months ~~ended July 1, 2017 included $164~~ of tax expense related to the adoption of ASU No. 2016-09 which requires a shortfall of tax benefits related to stock compensation to be recognized in income tax expense instead of additional paid-in capital.2019. The Company is in a net deferred tax liability position of ~~$1,120~~$642 and ~~$1,105~~$568 at June ~~30, 2018~~29, 2019 and December ~~30, 2017,~~29, 2018, respectively, which is included in other long-term liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

The Company accounts for uncertainty in income tax positions according to FASB guidance relating to uncertain tax positions. Unrecognized tax benefits were ~~$424~~$455 and ~~$414~~$441 at June ~~30, 2018~~29, 2019 and December ~~30, 2017,~~29, 2018, respectively. Such benefits, if recognized, would affect the Company's effective tax rate. There were no significant interest or penalties accrued as of June ~~30, 2018~~29, 2019 and December ~~30, 2017.~~29, 2018.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to United States federal income taxes, as well as income taxes in a number of state jurisdictions. The tax years subsequent to ~~2013~~2014 remain open to examination for U.S. federal income taxes. The majority of state jurisdictions remain open for tax years subsequent to ~~2013.~~2014. A few state jurisdictions remain open to examination for tax years subsequent to ~~2012.~~2013.

NOTE 1516 - EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

The Company's unvested stock awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, are considered participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings (loss) per share. Accounting guidance requires additional disclosure of earnings (loss) per share for common stock and unvested share-based payment awards, separately disclosing distributed and undistributed earnings. Undistributed earnings represent earnings that were available for distribution but were not distributed. Common stock and unvested share-based payment awards earn dividends equally. All earnings were undistributed in all periods presented.

NOTE 1819 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

~~Commitments and~~ Contingencies

The Company assesses its exposure related to legal matters, including those pertaining to product liability, safety and health matters and other items that arise in the regular course of its business. If the Company determines that it is probable a loss has been incurred, the amount of the loss, or an amount within the range of loss, that can be reasonably estimated will be recorded.

Environmental Remediation

The Company accrues for losses associated with environmental remediation obligations when such losses are probable and estimable. Remediation obligations are accrued based on the latest available information and are recorded at undiscounted amounts. The Company regularly monitors the progress of environmental remediation. If studies indicate that the cost of remediation has changed from the previous estimate, an adjustment to the liability would be recorded in the period in which such determination is made. (See Note ~~21)~~22).

Legal Proceedings

The Company has been sued, together with the 3M Company and approximately 30 other carpet manufacturers, by the Gadsden (Alabama) Water Works in the circuit court of Etowah County Alabama [The Water Works and Sewer Board of the City of Gadsden v. 3M Company, et al, civil action No. 31-CV-2016-900676.00] and by the Town of Centre (Alabama) Water Works in the circuit court of Cherokee County Alabama [The Water Works and Sewer Board of the Town of Centre v. 3M Company, et al, civil action No. 13-CV-2017-900049.00]. Both cases seek monetary damages and injunctive relief related to the use of certain chemical compounds in the manufacture and finishing of carpet products “in and around Dalton Georgia.” On motion of the defendants, the cases were removed to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama (Middle Division) Case No. 4:16-CV-01755-SGC and Case No. 4:17-CV-01026-KOB. Subsequently, the Gadsden Water Works filed a motion to have the case remanded back to the state court and such motion has been granted. Currently, the Company joined several other co-defendants in filing a Petition for Writ of Mandamus with the Alabama Supreme Court asking for an Order directing the trial court to grant the Company’s and other codefendants’ motions to dismiss the Alabama-filed actions for lack of personal jurisdiction. The Petitions have been consolidated by the Alabama Supreme Court with the Town of Centre (Alabama) matter (described above). The Petitions are still pending and there is no statutory deadline for the court to issue a decision. The lawsuits allege that perflourinated compounds (“PFC”), perflourinated acid (“PFOA”) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (“PFOS”) manufactured by 3M were used in certain finishing and treatment processes by the defendants and, as a consequence of such use, were subsequently either discharged into or leached into the water systems around Dalton, Georgia. The Complaints ~~seeks~~seek damages that exceed $10, but are otherwise unspecified in amount in addition to injunctive relief and punitive damages. The Company intends to defend the matters vigorously and is unable to estimate the potential exposure to loss, if any, at this time.

~~2014 Warehousing, Distribution & Manufacturing Consolidation Plan~~

The Company developed a plan to align its warehousing, distribution and manufacturing to support its growth and manufacturing strategy resulting in improved distribution capabilities and customer service. The key element and first major step of this plan was the acquisition of a facility to serve as a finished goods warehouse and a cut-order and distribution center in Adairsville, Georgia. Costs related to the consolidation included moving and relocation expenses, information technology expenses and expenses relating to conversion and realignment of equipment. In addition, this plan included the elimination of both carpet dyeing and yarn dyeing in the Company's Atmore, Alabama facility designed to more fully accommodate the distribution and manufacturing realignment. As a result, the dyeing operations in Atmore were moved to the Company's continuous dyeing facility, skein dyeing operation and other outside dyeing processors.

To complete the Warehousing, Distribution & Manufacturing Consolidation Plan, the Company moved its Saraland rug operation from an expiring leased building to an owned facility in March 2016. The Company completed this consolidation plan during 2016. As a result of eliminating its dyeing operations in Atmore, Alabama, the Company disposed of its waste water treatment plant in

2014. Subsequently, after extensive testing, it was determined that the Company still had some contaminants above background levels and installed a soil cap to finalize the cleanup of the site of the Company's former waste water treatment plant.

2015 Corporate Office Consolidation Plan

In April 2015, the Company's Board of Directors approved the Corporate Office Consolidation Plan, to cover the costs of consolidating three of the Company's existing leased divisional and corporate offices to a single leased facility located in Dalton, Georgia. The Company paid a fee to terminate one of the leased facilities, did not renew a second facility and vacated the third facility. Related to the vacated facility, the Company recorded the estimated costs related to the fulfillment of its contractual lease obligation and on-going facility maintenance, net of an estimate of sub-lease expectations. Accordingly, if the estimates differ, the Company would record an additional charge or benefit, as appropriate. Costs related to the consolidation included the lease termination fee, contractual lease obligations and moving costs.

2017 Profit Improvement Plan

During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company announced a Profit Improvement Plan to improve profitability through lower cost and streamlined decision making and aligning processes to maximize efficiency. The plan includes consolidating the management of the Company's two commercial brands, Atlas Carpet Mills and Masland Contract, under one management team, sharing operations in sales, marketing, product development and manufacturing. Specific to this plan, ~~includes~~the Company is focusing nearly all commercial solution dyed make-to-order production in ~~our~~its Atmore, Alabama operations where the Company has developed such make-to-order capabilities over the last 5 years. Further, the Company is aligning its west coast production facilities, better utilizing its west coast real estate by moving production to its ~~Porterville,~~Santa Ana, California and Atmore, Alabama operations and preparing for more efficient distribution of its west coast products. Furthermore, the Company is re-configuring its east coast distribution facilities to provide more efficient distribution of its products. In addition, the Company ~~had~~realized reductions in related support functions such as accounting and information services.

Expenses in the Profit Improvement Plan for the three months ended June 29, 2019 included $1,052 for post employment workers' compensation claims filed post employment by certain employees who were terminated as part of the closure and reorganization of the Company's west coast facilities. The Company is investigating these claims.

NOTE 2122 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The Company has either sold or discontinued certain operations that are accounted for as "Discontinued Operations" under applicable accounting guidance. Discontinued operations are summarized as follows:


	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended						Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2018			July 1, 2017			June 30, 2018			July 1, 2017			June 29, 2019			June 30, 2018			June 29, 2019			June 30, 2018
Loss from discontinued operations:

Workers' compensation credits from former textile operations													$	3		$	208		31			214
Environmental remediation costs from former textile operations													(38		)	(51		)	(97		)	(79		)
Income (loss) from discontinued operations, before taxes	$	157		$	(185	)	135			(233		)	$	(35	)	$	157		(66		)	135
Income tax benefit	—			(62		)	—			(81		)	—			—			—			—
Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax	$	157		$	(123	)	$	135		$	(152	)	$	(35	)	$	157		$	(66	)	$	135

Undiscounted reserves are maintained for the self-insured workers' compensation obligations related to the Company's former textile operations. These reserves are administered by a third-party workers' compensation service provider under the supervision of Company personnel. Such reserves are reassessed on a quarterly basis. Pre-tax cost incurred for workers' compensation as a component of discontinued operations primarily represents a change in estimate for each period from unanticipated medical costs associated with the Company's obligations.

Reserves for environmental remediation obligations are established on an undiscounted basis. The Company has an accrual for environmental remediation obligations related to discontinued operations of ~~$1,753~~$1,749 as of June ~~30, 2018~~29, 2019 and ~~$1,746~~$1,728 as of December ~~30, 2017.~~29, 2018. The liability established represents the Company's best estimate of possible loss and is the reasonable amount to which there is any meaningful degree of certainty given the periods of estimated remediation and the dollars applicable to such remediation for those periods. The actual timeline to remediate, and thus, the ultimate cost to complete such remediation through these remediation efforts, may differ significantly from ~~our~~the Company's estimates. Pre-tax cost for environmental remediation obligations classified as discontinued operations were primarily a result of specific events requiring action and additional expense in each period.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated condensed financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This Report contains statements that may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such statements include the use of terms or phrases such as "expects," "estimates," "projects," "believes," "anticipates," "intends," and similar terms and phrases. Such forward-looking statements relate to, among other matters, our future financial performance, business prospects, growth strategies or liquidity. The following important factors may affect our future results and could cause those results to differ materially from our historical results; these factors include, in addition to those “Risk Factors” detailed in item 1A of this report, and described elsewhere in this document, the cost and availability of capital, ~~the cost and availability of certain specialized yarns and branded products,~~ raw material and transportation costs related to petroleum price levels, the cost and availability of energy supplies, the loss of a significant customer or group of customers, ability to attract, develop and retain qualified personnel, materially adverse changes in economic conditions generally in carpet, rug and floorcovering markets we serve and other risks detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

OVERVIEW

Our business consists principally of marketing, manufacturing and selling floorcovering products to high-end residential and commercial customers through our various sales forces and brands. We focus exclusively on the upper-end of the floorcovering market where we believe we have strong brands and competitive advantages with our style and design capabilities and customer relationships. Our Fabrica, Masland, and Dixie Home brands have a significant presence in the high-end residential floorcovering markets. Our Atlas ~~Carpet Mills and~~| Masland Contract ~~brands, participate~~brand participates in the upper-end specified commercial marketplace. Dixie International sells all of our brands outside of the North American market.

Our business is primarily concentrated in areas of the soft floorcovering markets which include broadloom carpet, carpet tiles and rugs. However, over the past few years, there has been a significant shift in the flooring marketplace as hard surface products have grown at a rate much faster than soft surface products. We have responded to this accelerated shift to hard surface flooring by launching several initiatives in both our residential and commercial brands. Our commercial brands offer luxury vinyl flooring (“LVF”) products under the Calibré brand in the commercial markets. Our residential brands, Dixie Home and Masland Residential, offer Stainmaster® PetProtect™ and TRUCOR™ vinyl flooring. Our new residential branded TRUCOR™ SPC luxury vinyl ~~flooring. In this upcoming third quarter of 2018, our residential brand, Fabrica,~~flooring program has begun to gain traction in the market and we will begin expanding our Fabrica wood program during the second half of 2019. In addition, we have expanded our soft surface product lines to take advantage of opportunities we perceive in the marketplace. In April 2019, we launched Masland California Classics. This collection of 16 styles is finished and distributed out of our Santa Anna, California facility. In our Dixie Home line, we are expanding the Pacific Living quick ship program, growing our offering from 10 to 19 styles with new retail displays and updated colors. Our Masland and Dixie Home customers in the western United States will benefit from the expansion of this program. Our Envision 6.6 collection, introduced in April of 2019, has been well received in the marketplace. This new program is an extension of our Dixie Home line of products with high-end designs at moderate price points aimed at reaching a ~~high-end engineered wood line.~~wider range of customers. We have also updated our eNergy main street commercial collection to bring the latest styling and color selection to this segment of the market.

We began our Profit Improvement Plan in late 2017. This Plan included a review of all of our business processes though the primary focus was on the complete restructuring of our commercial business. Subsequent to our starting this plan, a decision by one of our key suppliers to exit the production of commercial piece dyeable yarns caused us to expand the commercial restructuring to be a complete integration of all aspects of the business.

As a result of this action, we have completed the combination of our Atlas and Masland business into one commercial business, now known as Atlas | Masland Contract. We have spent, through the second quarter of 2019, approximately $17.4 million in costs to implement the Profit Improvement Plan along with related inventory, intangible asset, and goodwill write-downs. We estimate the total costs of the Plan and related costs, once complete by the end of 2019, to be $18.2 million. The total annualized cost reductions of these restructuring efforts, once fully implemented, is approximately $18.7 million annually, as compared to our cost structure in 2017 when we began this process.

Invista has made the decision to exit the production of most piece dyeable yarns for the commercial market, a major source of differentiation for the Atlas product line. Accordingly, we have begun to phase out products dependent on those yarns, and have begun introducing new products to replace those being phased out. The consolidation of our two commercial businesses has aided our response to this change, by reducing costs and simplifying our sales and product development efforts. That consolidation is now substantially complete.

During the second quarter of ~~2018,~~2019, our net sales decreased ~~0.7%~~5.7% compared with the second quarter of ~~2017.~~2018. Sales of residential products ~~increased 4.0%~~decreased 2.6% during the quarter versus the prior year quarter while ~~we estimate,~~the portion of the industry we participate in was ~~up slightly.~~

Gross Profit

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 23.4% in the second quarter of 2019 compared with 23.6% in the second quarter of 2018, ~~compared with 26.5% in the second quarter of 2017,~~ or a ~~2.9~~.2 percentage point decrease as a percentage of sales. ~~During the second quarter of 2018, our~~Lower sales ~~and costs were~~ negatively impacted ~~by lower sales in our commercial business~~the results for the quarter contributing to under absorbed costs in our manufacturing operations. To address this issue we have launched new products through our commercial brands which we believe are being well received. In the residential business, we plan to implement a price increase in August to cover rising material and production costs. Our gross margin was further impacted by higher than normal waste, purchase price variances and distribution expenses. To this regard, we have made changes in our manufacturing operations to lower costs by better aligning staffing to demand, implemented several waste reduction initiatives, and are streamlining our operations. We also were impacted by a workers' compensation claim in the amount of $450 thousand due to an accident at a yarn processing facility.

Gross profit declined ~~3.4%~~.4% as a percentage of net sales in the first six months of ~~2018~~2019 compared with the first six months of ~~2017.~~2018. This decline was the result of lower sales volume resulting in under absorbed manufacturing costs.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses were ~~$23.8~~$21.1 million in the second quarter ~~2018~~of 2019 compared with ~~$25.3~~$23.8 million in the year earlier ~~period, a decrease of 1.2 percentage points~~period.

Facility Consolidation and Severance Expenses, Net

Facility consolidation and severance expenses associated with the Profit Improvement Plan totaled $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared with expense of $190 thousand in the second quarter of ~~2018~~2018. The expenses in the second quarter of 2019 included approximately $1 million in post termination workers' compensation claims for employees who were terminated as part of the plant restructuring in the Profit Improvement Plan. We are vigorously investigating these claims. Additional costs were mainly comprised of facility consolidations and ~~$406 thousand for~~the related costs of relocating inventory.

Operating Income (Loss)

We reported an operating income of $574 thousand in the second quarter of 2019 compared with an operating loss of $355 thousand in the second quarter of ~~2018~~2018. Reduced spending in selling and administrative expenses and other operating expenses was offset by lower sales and higher facility consolidation expenses in the three months ended June 29, 2019 compared ~~with~~to the three months ended June 30, 2018.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the six months ended June ~~30, 2018,~~29, 2019, cash ~~used in~~provided by operations was ~~$5.2~~$3.6 million. Accounts ~~receivable~~payable increased ~~$3.0~~$9.7 million and inventories ~~increased $8.7 million which~~decreased $1.0 million. This was offset by anaccounts receivable increase ~~in accounts payable and accrued expenses~~ of ~~$6.5~~$4.8 million. The increase in accounts receivable and decrease in inventory was due to increased sales activity at the ~~second quarter 2018~~end of the current period. Accounts payable increased due to low year end levels compared to higher purchasing at period end related to the higher sales ~~mix being more concentrated in our residential business which generally has more favorable selling terms. We increased inventories and accounts payable to build inventories to prepare~~activity.

Purchases of capital assets for the ~~summer selling season.~~

~~Capital asset acquisitions for the six~~three months ended June ~~30, 2018 were $1.4 million.~~29, 2019 resulted in a $2 million cash out flow to the business. Depreciation and amortization for the ~~six~~three months ended June ~~30, 2018~~29, 2019 were ~~$6.3~~$5.9 million. We expect capital expenditures to be approximately ~~$6.0~~$4 million in ~~2018~~2019 while depreciation and amortization is expected to be approximately ~~$13.0~~$11.6 million. Planned capital expenditures in ~~2018~~2019 are primarily for new equipment.

During the six months ended June ~~30, 2018,~~29, 2019, cash ~~provided by~~used in financing activities was ~~$6.6~~$1.6 million. We had net borrowings on finance leases of $9.4 million. We had reductions to our revolving credit facility and notes payable of ~~$10.4~~$10.2 million. These proceeds were offset by payments on other debt obligations of ~~$5.6 million.~~$819 thousand. The cash provided by financing was used to fund the operations during the quarter.

We believe our operating cash flows, credit availability under our revolving credit facility and other sources of financing are adequate to finance our anticipated liquidity requirements under current operating conditions. As of the six months ended June ~~30, 2018,~~29, 2019, the unused borrowing ~~availability~~ under our revolving credit facility was ~~$26.8~~$26.6 million. Our revolving credit facility requires us to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.1 to 1.0 during any period that borrowing availability is less than $16.5 million. ~~As of~~Based upon the ~~date hereof,~~results for the period ended June 29, 2019, our fixed charge coverage ratio was less than 1.1 to 1.0, at quarter end (0.15), accordingly the unused availability accessible by us was ~~$10.3~~$10.1 million (the amount above $16.5 million) at June ~~30, 2018.~~29, 2019. We continually monitor our sources of funding and may seek additional sources of funding to supplement our current liquidity requirements as necessary. We are continuing to improve utilization of our inventories, thus freeing up working capital. Significant additional cash expenditures above our normal liquidity requirements or significant deterioration in economic conditions could affect our business and require supplemental financing or other funding sources. There can be no assurance that such supplemental financing or other sources of funding can be obtained or will be obtained on terms favorable to us.

Our critical accounting policies were outlined in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of ~~Operations and~~ Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our ~~2017~~2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. During the first quarter ended March ~~31, 2018,~~30, 2019, we adopted the provisions of ASC ~~606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”~~842, “Leases”. See Note 2, Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Note ~~3, Revenue,~~11, Leases, in the notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, related to the impact of the adoption on our financial statements and accounting policies.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements are disclosed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk (Dollars in thousands)

Our earnings, cash flows and financial position are exposed to market risks relating to interest rates, among other factors. It is our policy to minimize our exposure to adverse changes in interest rates and manage interest rate risks inherent in funding our Company with debt. We address this financial exposure through a risk management program that includes maintaining a mix of fixed and floating rate debt and the use of interest rate swap agreements (See Note 1213 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements).

At June ~~30, 2018, $56,142,~~29, 2019, $46,264, or approximately ~~41%~~36% of our total debt, was subject to floating interest rates. A one-hundred basis point fluctuation in the variable interest rates applicable to this floating rate debt would have an annual after-tax impact of approximately ~~$415.~~$342 thousand.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such terms are defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e)) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of June ~~30, 2018,~~29, 2019, the date of the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the Evaluation Date.

No changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter covered by this report that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures, as well as diverse interpretation of U. S. generally accepted accounting principles by accounting professionals. It is also possible that internal control over financial reporting can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements

~~Table of Contents~~25

may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. Furthermore, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. These inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process; therefore, while it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce such risk, it is not possible to eliminate all risk.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We have been sued, together with the 3M Company and approximately 30 other carpet manufacturers, by the Gadsden (Alabama) Water Works in the circuit court of Etowah County Alabama [The Water Works and Sewer Board of the City of Gadsden v. 3M Company, et al, civil action No. 31-CV-2016-900676.00] and by the Town of Centre (Alabama) Water Works in the circuit court of Cherokee County Alabama [The Water Works and Sewer Board of the Town of Centre v. 3M Company, et al, civil action No. 13-CV-2017-900049.00]. Both cases seek monetary damages and injunctive relief related to the use of certain chemical compounds in the manufacture and finishing of carpet products “in and around Dalton Georgia.” On motion of the defendants, the cases were removed to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama (Middle Division) Case No. 4:16-CV-01755-SGC and Case No. 4:17-CV-01026-KOB. Subsequently, the Gadsden Water Works filed a motion to have the case remanded back to the state court and such motion has been granted. Currently, we have joined several other co-defendants in filing a Petition for Writ of Mandamus with the Alabama Supreme Court asking for an Order directing the trial court to grant our and other codefendants’ motions to dismiss the Alabama-filed actions for lack of personal jurisdiction. The Petitions have been consolidated by the Alabama Supreme Court with the Town of Centre (Alabama) matter (described above). The Petitions are still pending and there is no statutory deadline for the court to issue a decision. The lawsuits allege that perflourinated compounds (“PFC”), perflourinated acid (“PFOA”) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (“PFOS”) manufactured by 3M were used in certain finishing and treatment processes by the defendants and, as a consequence of such use, were subsequently either discharged into or leached into the water systems around Dalton, Georgia. The Complaints ~~seeks~~seek damages that exceed ~~$10,000,~~$10, but are otherwise unspecified in amount in addition to injunctive relief and punitive damages. We intend to defend the matters vigorously and are unable to estimate ~~our~~the potential exposure to loss, if any, at this time.

~~As of June 25,~~On November 16, 2018 the ~~Company and the Class Representative, as a result of court ordered mediation, have agreed to a Memorandum of Understanding regarding settlement~~Superior Court of the State of California granted preliminary approval of a class action ~~litigation styled~~settlement in the matter of Carlos Garcia v. Fabrica International, Inc. et al Orange County Superior Court Case No. 30-2017-00949461-CU-OE-CXC. The ~~parties have~~court further approved the procedures for Settlement Class Members to opt-out of or object to the Settlement. The terms of the settlement provide that Fabrica, a wholly owned subsidiary of ours, has agreed to pay $1,514,000 (the “Gross Settlement Amount”) to fully resolve all claims in the Lawsuit, including payments to Settlement Class Members, Class Counsel’s attorneys’ fees and expenses, settlement administration costs, and the Class Representative’s Service Award. The amount of the proposed settlement was recorded during the quarter ended June 30, 2018. The deadline for class members to opt-out was February 1, 2019. The deadline for the plaintiff to file a motion for ~~approval of a memorandum of understanding with the court in which the case is pending, and to finalize a definitive settlement agreement subject to court approval. The required court~~final approval of the class action settlement is expected to occur within the next quarter. During the quarter ended June 30, 2018, the Company has recorded costs of approximately $1.5 million to reflect our estimate of the costs related to such issues.was March 29, 2019. The final fairness hearing took place on April 12, 2019 with final approval being granted.

We are one of multiple parties to ~~a current lawsuit~~three lawsuits filed in Madison County Illinois, styled Danny Atkins and Pamela Atkins, Pltfs., vs. Aurora Pump Company, et al. No. 18-L-2. The lawsuit entails a claim for damages to be determined in excess of $50,000 filed on behalf of a former employee that alleges that the deceased contracted mesothelioma as a result of exposure to asbestos while employed by us. Discovery in the matter is ongoing. We have denied liability, are defending the matters vigorously and are unable to estimate our potential exposure to loss, if any, at this time. In March of 2018, a similar lawsuit styled Charles Anderson, Pltf., vs. 3M Company, et al, No. 17-L-525 was dismissed. In May of 2018, the lawsuit styled Brenda Bridgeman, Individually and as Special Administrator of the Estate of Robert Bridgeman, Deceased, vs. American Honda Motor Co., Inc., f/k/a Metropolitan Life Insurance Co., et al No. 15-L-374, styled Charles Anderson, Pltf., vs. 3M Company, et al, No. 17-L-525 and styled Danny Atkins and Pamela Atkins, Pltfs., vs. Aurora Pump Company, et al. No. 18-L-2. All three lawsuits entail a claim for damages to be determined in excess of $50,000 filed on behalf of either a former employee or the estate of an individual which alleges that the deceased contracted mesothelioma as a result of exposure to asbestos while employed by us. Discovery in each matter is ongoing, and a tentative trial date has been set for one of the cases. We have denied liability, are defending the matters vigorously and are unable to estimate our potential exposure to loss, if any, at this time. In August of 2017, the lawsuit styled Sandra D. Watts, Individually and as Special Administrator of the Estate of Dianne Averett, Deceased vs. 4520 Corp., Inc. f/k/a Benjamin F. Shaw Company, et al No. 12-L-2032 was placed in the category of "special closed with settlements and bankruptcy claims pending" to all remaining defendants. In March 2018, the lawsuit styled Charles Anderson, Individually and as Special Administrator of the Estate of Charles Anderson, Deceased vs. 3M Company, et al, No. 17-L-525 was dismissed without prejudice. In October 2018, the lawsuit styled Danny Atkins and Pamela Atkins, Pltfs., vs. Aurora Pump Company, et al. No. 18-L-2 was dismissed without prejudice.

~~On April 24th, 2018, subsequent~~We have been sued in the matter styled: The Canyons Grand Summit Resort Hotel Owners Association, Inc. v. The Dixie Group Inc. d/b/a Masland Contract Carpet, Case No. 190500139, in the Third District Court, State of Utah, Summit County, Silver Summit Department, which was filed on March 29, 2019. This claim seeks monetary damages of $500,000 over carpet sold for installation in a condominium complex. The Company intends to defend the matter vigorously and is unable to estimate the potential exposure to loss, if any, at this time.

See Note 21 under the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for discussion of a series of workers compensation claims filed related to the ~~end~~closure of the first quarter, a law firm claiming to represent one of our shareholders owning 50 shares, sent a request for information concerning our equity incentive plans, and equity awards granted under those plans to our chairman and to our chief operating officer, alleging that the law firm is investigating “possible breaches of fiduciary duty”manufacturing facilities in approving such plans and such awards. All such equity plans were approved by shareholders, and all such awards were made in accordance with the applicable terms of the plans. We have responded to the request in accordance with applicable law. No claim or suit has been filed.California.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information provided in this Report, the following risk factors should be considered when evaluating the results of our operations, future prospects and an investment in shares of our Common Stock. Any of these factors could cause our actual financial results to differ materially from our historical results, and could give rise to events that might have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Table of Contents30

The floorcovering industry is sensitive to changes in general economic conditions and a decline in residential or commercial construction activity or corporate remodeling and refurbishment could have a material adverse effect on our business.

The floorcovering industry, in which we participate, is highly dependent on general economic conditions, such as consumer confidence and income, corporate and government spending, interest rate levels, availability of credit and demand for housing. We derive a majority of our sales from the replacement segment of the market. Therefore, economic changes that result in a significant

~~Table of Contents~~26

or prolonged decline in spending for remodeling and replacement activities could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

The floorcovering industry is highly dependent on construction activity, including new construction, which is cyclical in nature. The U.S. and global economies, along with the residential and commercial markets in such economies, can negatively impact the floorcovering industry and our business. Although the impact of a decline in new construction activity is typically accompanied by an increase in remodeling and replacement activity, these activities typically lag during a cyclical downturn. Although the difficult economic conditions have improved since the last cyclical downturn in 2008, there may be additional downturns that could cause the industry to deteriorate in the foreseeable future. A significant or prolonged decline in residential or commercial construction activity could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

We have significant levels of sales in certain channels of distribution and reduction in sales through these channels could adversely affect our business.

A significant amount of our sales are generated through a certain mass merchant retailer. A significant reduction of sales through this channel could adversely affect our business. Such a shift could occur if this retailer decided to reduce the amount of emphasis on soft surface flooring or determine that our concentration of better goods was not advantageous to their marketing program.

We have significant levels of indebtedness that could result in negative consequences to us.

We have a significant amount of indebtedness relative to our equity. Insufficient cash flow, profitability, or the value of our assets securing our loans could ~~materially adversely affect~~have a material adverse effect on our ability to generate sufficient funds to satisfy the terms of our senior loan agreements and other debt obligations. Additionally, the inability to access debt or equity markets at competitive rates in sufficient amounts to satisfy our obligations could adversely impact our business. Further, our trade relations depend on our economic viability and insufficient capital could harm our ability to attract and retain customers and or supplier relationships.

Uncertainty in the credit market or downturns in the economy and our business could affect our overall availability and cost of credit.

Uncertainty in the credit markets could affect the availability and cost of credit. Despite recent improvement in overall economic conditions, market conditions could impact our ability to obtain financing in the future, including any financing necessary to refinance existing indebtedness. The cost and terms of such financing is uncertain. Continued operating losses could affect our ability to continue to access the credit markets under our current terms and conditions. These and other economic factors could have a material adverse effect on demand for our products and on our financial condition and operating results.

If our stock price remains below $1.00 for an extended time, our common stock may be subject to delisting from The NASDAQ Stock Market.

NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) requires that, for continued listing on the exchange, we must maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share. Should the price of our stock close below $1 per share for 30 consecutive business days we will have 180 days to bring the price per share up above $1. As of June 29, 2019 our stock has closed below $1 per share for 73 consecutive business days. If we are not able to regain compliance before November 4, 2019, we may be eligible for an additional 180 days provided we meet other listing requirements. To the extent that we are unable to stay in compliance with the relevant NASDAQ bid price listing rule, there is a risk that our common stock may be delisted from NASDAQ, which would adversely impact liquidity of our common stock and potentially result in even lower bid process for our common stock.

Our stock price has been and could remain volatile, which could further adversely affect the market price of our stock, our ability to raise additional capital and/or cause us to be subject to securities class action litigation.

The market price of our common stock has historically experienced and may continue to experience significant volatility. Our progress in restructuring our business, our quarterly operating results, our perceived prospects, lack of securities analysts’ recommendations or earnings estimates, changes in general conditions in the economy or the financial markets, adverse events related to our strategic relationships, significant sales of our common stock by existing stockholders, and other developments affecting us or our competitors could cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. In addition, in recent years, the stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has affected the market prices of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance and may adversely affect the price of our common stock. Such market price volatility could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital. In addition, we may be subject to securities class action litigation as a result of volatility in the price of our common stock, which could result in substantial costs and diversion of

Table of Contents31

management’s attention and resources and could harm our stock price, business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition

We face intense competition in our industry, which could decrease demand for our products and could have a material adverse effect on our profitability.

The floorcovering industry is highly competitive. We face competition from a number of domestic manufacturers and independent distributors of floorcovering products and, in certain product areas, foreign manufacturers. Significant consolidation within the floorcovering industry has caused a number of our existing and potential competitors to grow significantly larger and have greater access to resources and capital than we do. Maintaining our competitive position may require us to make substantial additional investments in our product development efforts, manufacturing facilities, distribution network and sales and marketing activities. These additional investments may be limited by our access to capital, as well as restrictions set forth in our credit facilities. Competitive pressures ~~stylistic changes in the market,~~ and the accelerated growth of hard surface alternatives, have resulted in decreased ~~market~~ demand for our soft floorcovering products and in the ~~industry has seen a~~ loss of market share to hard surface products. As a result, competition from providers of other soft surfaces has intensified and may result in decreased demand for our products. In addition, we face, and will continue to face, competitive pressures on our sales price and cost of our products. As a result of any of these factors, there could be a material adverse effect on our sales and profitability.

~~We have significant levels of sales in certain channels of distribution and reduction in sales through these channels could adversely affect our business.~~

A significant amount of our sales are generated through certain retail and mass merchant channels of distribution. A significant reduction of sales through such channels could adversely affect our business.

If we are unable to anticipate consumer preferences and successfully develop and introduce new, innovative and updated products, we may not be able to maintain or increase our net revenues and profitability.

Our success depends on our ability to identify and originate product trends as well as to anticipate and react to changing consumer demands in a timely manner. All of our products are subject to changing consumer preferences that cannot be predicted with certainty. In addition, long lead times for certain ~~of our~~ products may make it hard for us to quickly respond to changes in consumer demands. Recently we have seen the supply of white dyeable yarns for the commercial business decline and that has forced us to transition to new products faster than was originally intended. If we fail to successfully replace those products with equally desirable products to the marketplace, we will lose sales volume. Our new products may not receive consumer acceptance as consumer preferences could shift rapidly to different types of flooring products or away from these types of products altogether, and our future success depends in part on our ability to anticipate and respond to these changes. Failure to anticipate and respond in a timely manner to changing consumer preferences could lead to, among other things, lower sales and excess inventory levels, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

Raw material prices may vary and the inability to either offset or pass on such cost increases or avoid passing on decreases larger than the cost decrease to our customers could ~~materially adversely affect~~have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

~~Table of Contents~~27

We require substantial amounts of raw materials to produce our products, including nylon and polyester yarn, as well as wool yarns, synthetic backing, latex, and dyes. Substantially all of the raw materials we require are purchased from outside sources. The prices of raw materials and fuel-related costs vary significantly with market conditions. The fact that we source a significant amount of raw materials means that several months of raw materials and work in process are moving through our supply chain at any point in time. We are sourcing the majority of our new luxury vinyl flooring and wood product lines from overseas. We are not able to predict whether commodity costs will significantly increase or decrease in the future. If commodity costs increase in the future and we are not able to reduce or eliminate the effect of the cost increases by reducing production costs or implementing price increases, our profit margins could decrease. If commodity costs decline, we may experience pressures from customers to reduce our selling prices. The timing of any price reductions and decreases in commodity costs may not align. As a result, our margins could be affected.

Unanticipated termination or interruption of our arrangements with third-party suppliers of nylon yarn could have a material adverse effect on us.

Nylon yarn is the principal raw material used in our floorcovering products. A significant portion of such yarn is purchased from one supplier. Our yarn supplier is one of the leading fiber suppliers within the industry and is the exclusive supplier of certain innovative branded fiber technology upon which we rely. We believe our offerings of this innovative fiber technology contribute materially to the competitiveness of our products. While we believe there are other sources of nylon yarns, an unanticipated termination or interruption of our current supply of branded nylon yarn could have a material adverse effect on our ability to supply our product to our customers and have a material adverse impact on our competitiveness if we are unable to replace our nylon supplier with another supplier that can offer similar innovative and branded fiber products. Recently, we have had a disruption in our supply of white dyeable yarns for the commercial market place which has resulted in us taking additional charges for the write down of certain inventories. An interruption in the supply of these or other raw materials or sourced products used in our business or in the supply of suitable substitute materials or products would disrupt our operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. We continually evaluate our sources of yarn for competitive costs, performance characteristics, brand value, and diversity of supply.

Table of Contents32

We rely on information systems in managing our operations and any system failure or deficiencies of such systems may have an adverse effect on our business.

Our businesses rely on sophisticated systems to obtain, rapidly process, analyze and manage data. We rely on these systems to, among other things, facilitate the purchase, manufacture and distribution of our products; receive, process and ship orders on a timely basis; and to maintain accurate and up-to-date operating and financial data for the compilation of management information. We rely on our computer hardware, software and network for the storage, delivery and transmission of data to our sales and distribution systems, and certain of our production processes are managed and conducted by computer. Any damage by unforeseen events or system failure which causes interruptions to the input, retrieval and transmission of data or increase in the service time, whether caused by human error, natural disasters, power loss, computer viruses, intentional acts of vandalism, various forms of cybercrimes including and not limited to hacking, intrusions and malware or otherwise, could disrupt our normal operations. There can be no assurance that we can effectively carry out our disaster recovery plan to handle the failure of our information systems, or that we will be able to restore our operational capacity within sufficient time to avoid material disruption to our business. The occurrence of any of these events could cause unanticipated disruptions in service, decreased customer service and customer satisfaction and harm to our reputation, which could result in loss of customers, increased operating expenses and financial losses. Any such events could in turn have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.

The long-term performance of our business relies on our ability to attract, develop and retain qualified personnel.

To be successful, we must attract, develop and retain qualified and talented personnel in management, sales, marketing, product design and operations. We compete with other floorcovering companies for these employees and invest resources in recruiting, developing, motivating and retaining them. The failure to attract, develop, motivate and retain key employees could negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to various governmental actions that may interrupt our supply of materials.

We import most of our luxury vinyl flooring ("LVF"), some of our wood offering, some of our rugs and broadloom offerings. Though currently a small part of our business, the growth in LVF products is an important product offering to provide our customers a complete selection of flooring alternatives. Recently there have been trade proposals that threatened these product categories with added tariffs which would make our offerings less competitive compared to those manufactured in other countries or produced domestically. These proposals, if enacted, or if expanded, or imposed for a significant period of time, would materially interfere with our ability to successfully enter into these product categories and could have a material adverse effect upon the company's cost of goods and results of operations.

We are subject to various environmental, safety and health regulations that may subject us to costs, liabilities and other obligations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

~~Table of Contents~~28

incur material expenditures to comply with new or existing regulations, including fines and penalties and increased costs of our operations. Additionally, future laws, ordinances, regulations or regulatory guidelines could give rise to additional compliance or remediation costs that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. For example, in California producer responsibility regulations regarding end-of-life disposal have imposed additional costs and complexity to our business and could result in lower sales or decreased profitability of those products sold in that state.

~~Various federal, state and local environmental laws govern the use of our current and former facilities. These laws govern such matters as:~~

~~Discharge to air and water;~~

~~Handling and disposal of solid and hazardous substances and waste, and~~

~~Remediation of contamination from releases of hazardous substances in our facilities and off-site disposal locations.~~

Our operations also are governed by laws relating to workplace safety and worker health, which, among other things, establish noise standards and regulate the use of hazardous materials and chemicals in the workplace. We have taken, and will continue to take, steps to comply with these laws. If we fail to comply with present or future environmental or safety regulations, we could be subject to future liabilities. However, we cannot ensure that complying with these environmental or health and safety laws and requirements will not adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We may be exposed to litigation, claims and other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business relating to our products or business, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to a variety of work-related and product-related claims, lawsuits and legal proceedings, including those relating to product liability, product warranty, product recall, personal injury, environmental and other matters that are inherently subject to many uncertainties regarding the possibility of a loss to our business. Such matters could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition if we are unable to successfully defend against or resolve these matters or if our insurance coverage is insufficient to satisfy any judgments against us or settlements relating to these matters. Although we have product liability insurance, the policies may not provide coverage for certain claims against us or may not be sufficient to cover all possible liabilities. Further, we may not be able to maintain insurance at commercially acceptable premium levels. Additionally, adverse publicity arising from claims made against us, even if the claims are not successful, could adversely affect our reputation or the reputation and sales of our products.

We may experience certain risks associated with internal expansion, acquisitions, joint ventures and strategic investments.

We ~~have recently embarked on several~~continually look for strategic and tactical initiatives, including ~~aggressive~~ internal expansion, acquisitions and investment in new products, to strengthen our future and to enable us to return to sustained growth and to achieve profitability. Growth through expansion and acquisition involves risks, many of which may continue to affect us after the acquisition or expansion. An acquired company, operation or internal expansion may not achieve the levels of revenue, profitability and production that we expect. The combination of an acquired company’s business with ours involves risks. Further, internally generated growth that involves expansion involves risks as well. Such risks include the integration of computer systems, alignment of human resource policies and the retention of valued talent. Reported earnings may not meet expectations because of goodwill and intangible asset impairment, other asset impairments, increased interest costs and issuance of additional securities or debt as a result of these acquisitions. We may also face challenges in consolidating functions and integrating our organizations, procedures, operations and product lines in a timely and efficient manner.

The diversion of management attention and any difficulties encountered in the transition and integration process could have a material adverse effect on our revenues, level of expenses and operating results. Failure to successfully manage and integrate an acquisition with our existing operations or expansion of our existing operations could lead to the potential loss of customers of the acquired or existing business, the potential loss of employees who may be vital to the new or existing operations, the potential loss of business opportunities or other adverse consequences that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Even if integration occurs successfully, failure of the expansion or acquisition to achieve levels of anticipated sales growth, profitability or productivity, or otherwise perform as expected, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to various environmental, safety and health and other regulations that may subject us to costs, liabilities and other obligations which could have a material adverse effect on our business. The applicable requirements under these laws are subject to amendment, to the imposition of new or additional requirements and to changing interpretations of agencies or courts. We could incur material expenditures to comply with new or existing regulations, including fines and penalties and increased costs of our operations. Additionally, future laws, ordinances, regulations or regulatory guidelines could give rise to additional compliance or remediation costs that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. For

Table of Contents33

example, producer responsibility regulations regarding end-of-life disposal could impose additional cost and complexity to our business.

Various federal, state and local environmental laws govern the use of our current and former facilities. These laws govern such matters as:

Discharge to air and water;

Handling and disposal of solid and hazardous substances and waste, and

Remediation of contamination from releases of hazardous substances in our facilities and off-site disposal locations.

In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to a variety of work-related and product-related claims, lawsuits and legal proceedings, including those relating to product liability, product warranty, product recall, personal injury, and other matters that are inherently subject to many uncertainties regarding the possibility of a loss to our business. Such matters could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition if we are unable to successfully defend against or resolve these matters or if our insurance coverage is insufficient to satisfy any judgments against us or settlements relating to these matters. Although we have product liability insurance, the policies may not provide coverage for certain claims against us or may not be sufficient to cover all possible liabilities. Further, we may not be able to maintain insurance at commercially acceptable premium levels. Additionally, adverse publicity arising from claims made against us, even if the claims are not successful, could adversely affect our reputation or the reputation and sales of our products.

Our business operations could suffer significant losses from natural disasters, catastrophes, fire or other unexpected events.

Many of our business activities involve substantial investments in manufacturing facilities and many products are produced at a limited number of locations. These facilities could be materially damaged by natural disasters, such as floods, tornadoes, hurricanes and earthquakes, or by fire or other unexpected events such as adverse weather conditions or other disruptions to our facilities, supply chain or our customer's facilities. We could incur uninsured losses and liabilities arising from such events, including damage to our reputation, and/or suffer material losses in operational capacity, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
