ITEM 2.05. COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH EXIT OR DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES.

On December 4, 2006, Collins & Aikman Floorcoverings, Inc. (the “Company”) and its parent, Tandus Group, Inc., announced its intent to exit manufacturing in the United Kingdom. The Company is currently attempting to negotiate a sale of the manufacturing facility. If the Company is unable to sell the facility, it will likely cease production near the end of January 2007. The Company intends to maintain a sales presence in the United Kingdom, but has determined that supplying the European market from production in its United States or Asian manufacturing facilities provides greater economic feasibility.

Due to the uncertainty associated with the potential sale of the facility, the Company is unable at this time to make a determination as to any estimated costs expected to be incurred in connection with the closure.
