Vendor deposits primarily relates to down payments made toward the purchase of inventory. Prepaid expenses consists of advance payments for routine operating expenses. Value-added taxes receivable relates to recoverable taxes associated with the sales and purchase activities of UNIFI’s foreign operations. Contract assets represents the estimated revenue attributable to UNIFI in connection with completed performance obligations under contracts with customers for which revenue is recognized over time. The contract assets are classified to receivables when the right to payment becomes unconditional.

Brazilian companies are subject to various taxes on business operations, including turnover taxes used to fund social security and unemployment programs, commonly referred to as PIS/COFINS taxes. UNIFI, along with numerous other companies in Brazil, challenged the constitutionality of certain state taxes historically included in the PIS/COFINS tax base.

On May 13, 2021, Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court (“SFC”) ruled in favor of taxpayers, and on July 7, 2021, the Brazilian Internal Revenue Service withdrew its existing appeal. Following the SFC decision, the federal government will not issue refunds for these taxes but will instead allow for the overpayments and associated interest to be applied as credits against future PIS/COFINS tax obligations. In fiscal 2021, UNIFI recorded $11,519 to reflect the current and non-current recovery of PIS/COFINS taxes and associated interest, with $942 of recoveries relating to fiscal 2021 included within net sales and $10,577 of recoveries relating to fiscal years prior to 2021, which is reduced by fees related to the recovery efforts to comprise $9,717 for recovery of non-income taxes. During fiscal 2022, UNIFI reduced the estimated recovery by $815, based on additional clarity and review of the recovery process during the months following the associated SFC decision.

There are no limitations or restrictions on UNIFI’s ability to recover the associated overpayment claims as future income is generated and the Company has been utilizing these amounts to offset its current tax obligations under PIC/COFINS. The Company expects to apply the remaining balance to obligations within the next twelve months.
