EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Form 8-K/A is being filed to amend Item 2.05 of the Current Report on Form 8-K of Collins & Aikman Floorcoverings, Inc. filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 7, 2006 to disclose the disposal strategy and estimated costs and cash expenditures associated with the action.

 

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.

On February 7, 2007, the Company announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement for the sale of its United Kingdom subsidiary, Tandus Europe Ltd., to Interior Projects Solutions Limited (the “Purchaser”) in exchange for a note with a face value of $4.0 million. The Purchaser will continue to manufacture carpet products for distribution throughout Europe and, under a separate agreement, will be the exclusive distributor of the Company’s products in several European countries. Additionally, certain products manufactured by the Purchaser will continue to bear the Company’s C&A brand. The distribution agreement allows the Company to reach significantly more of the European market than was possible with its internal sales force.

The Company estimates that it will incur a net loss on the sale of approximately $2.5 million, which includes $0.4 million of severance and employee-related expenses and $0.2 million of legal, professional fees and closing costs. The transaction closed on February 5, 2007 and is subject to a post closing adjustment based on net asset values as of the closing date. Future cash expenditures related to the transaction are expected to be immaterial.

TANDUS ANNOUNCES CONSOLIDATION OF INTERNATIONAL MANUFACTURING

DALTON, Ga. (December 6, 2006) — Tandus has announced its intention to consolidate its international manufacturing to primary regions in North America and China. This move will involve the closure or sale of its United Kingdom (U.K.) manufacturing operations. The company has several interested parties who have expressed interest in the plant located in Blaina, Wales.

Tandus has maintained a sales and marketing presence in the U.K. since 1987. The Company will continue to market its Monterey, C&A, and Crossley brands throughout the U.K. and Europe. These products will be serviced from manufacturing facilities in North America and China.

“After careful consideration it was determined that the product capabilities required by the market could not be fully met by local production in Wales,” said Len Ferro, Chief Financial Officer, Tandus. “Sourcing from North America and China is the best and most efficient way to market the extensive portfolio of modular carpets and broadloom products available through Tandus brands.”

ABOUT TANDUS

Tandus unites the industry’s leading specialized flooring brands – Monterey, C&A, and Crossley. Drawing upon each brand’s individual strengths, Tandus offers its customers single-source innovative product design and technology, comprehensive services, and environmental leadership.
