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.
