NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Culp, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries (the “company”) include all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair presentation of the results of operations and financial position. All of these adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Results of operations for interim periods may not be indicative of future results. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, which are included in the company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 17, 2020, for the fiscal year ended May 3, 2020.
The company’s three-months ended August 2, 2020, and August 4, 2019, represent 13-week and 14-week periods, respectively.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
As of August 2, 2020, there were no changes in the nature of our significant accounting policies or the application of those policies from those reported in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year then ended May 3, 2020.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL)
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which requires entities to use a forward looking approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. The FASB has subsequently issued updates to the standard to provide additional clarification on specific topics. Topic 326 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. As a result, we adopted the provisions of Topic 326 on May 4, 2020 and applied this guidance during the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The adoption of Topic 326 did not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. See notes 4 and 11 of our consolidated financial statements for further details of the adoption of CECL as of May 4, 2020 and our assessments and conclusions as of August 2, 2020.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The company has considered all recent accounting pronouncements and currently believes there are no recent accounting pronouncements that may have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

HOME ACCESSORIES SEGMENT – DISCONTINUED OPERATION
|
Overview
On March 31, 2020, we sold our entire ownership interest in eLuxury, LLC (“eLuxury”) to eLuxury’s noncontrolling interest holder in consideration of an accelerated settlement of certain financial obligations due and payable by eLuxury to us and the entry into supply and royalty arrangements designed to preserve an additional sales channel for our core products. Also, this sale, which was part of our comprehensive response to the challenging business conditions arising from the COVID-19 global pandemic, is expected to increase our liquidity and allows us to focus on our core businesses of upholstery and mattress fabrics.
In connection with the sale of our entire ownership interest in eLuxury, (i) we received $509,500 at closing as an accelerated repayment of principal amounts previously loaned to eLuxury, together with outstanding interest, under a loan agreement between us and eLuxury; (ii) we forgave $300,000 of borrowings payable by eLuxury to us under this loan agreement; (iii) we entered into an amended and restated credit and security agreement with eLuxury and the buyer (the former noncontrolling interest holder) (together, the “Borrowers”), pursuant to which the Borrowers agreed to repay an additional $1 million previously loaned to eLuxury within thirty days of the closing of the sale transaction (and which amount was secured by the assets of both Borrowers); and (iv) eLuxury agreed to pay $613,000 within sixty days of the sale transaction in satisfaction of certain trade accounts payable due from eLuxury to us.
The remaining $1 million we previously loaned to eLuxury and the outstanding trade accounts payable balance of $613,000 due from eLuxury to us has been paid in full in accordance with the terms of the sale agreement outlined above.

Discontinued Operation Financial Statement Presentation and Disclosures
Financial Statement Presentation
Due to the sale of our entire ownership interest in eLuxury, our home accessories segment was eliminated. This sale (and the resulting elimination of the home accessories segment) was the result of our strategic decision to focus on our core business products, which we believe will increase our liquidity and assist with our comprehensive response to the COVID-19 global pandemic. Consequently, we determined that the results from operations and assets and liabilities associated with our home accessories segment were to be excluded from our continuing operations and presented as a discontinued operation in our consolidated financial statements in accordance with ASC Topic 205-20-45. As a result, we classified the results from operations of our home accessories segment separately in captions titled “Discontinued Operations” on our Consolidated Statement of Net Income for the three-months ending August 4, 2019. Additionally, assets and liabilities associated with our home accessories segment as of August 4, 2019, were reclassified from certain amounts reported in the prior period to present separately in captions titled “current assets – discontinued operation”, “noncurrent assets – discontinued operation”, “current liabilities -discontinued operation”, and “noncurrent liabilities – discontinued operation” to conform to current year financial statement presentation.

Cash Flow Disclosures
Our discontinued operation had net cash used in operating activities totaling $1.4 million during the three-months ending August 4, 2019. Our discontinued operation did not have any net cash (used in) or provided by investing activities during the three-months ending August 4, 2019. Our discontinued operation had net cash provided by financing activities, all of which were loan proceeds and capital contributions from Culp, Inc. and the noncontrolling interest holder of eLuxury, totaling $1.4 million during the three-months ending August 4, 2019. We believe our liquidity will improve in the absence of our former home accessories segment due to the significant losses that were incurred by that segment and the funding of its working capital requirements primarily by us through loans and capital contributions that will no longer be required.
I-9
Continuing Obligations, Financial Commitments, and Continuing Relationships with the Discontinued Operation
Supply and Royalty Agreements
In connection with the sale of our entire ownership interest in eLuxury, we entered into supply and royalty agreements with eLuxury to preserve an additional sales channel for our core products – upholstery and mattress fabrics. The supply agreement requires eLuxury to purchase all its requirements at fair market prices for mattress and upholstery fabrics products of the type we were supplying to eLuxury at the time of the sale transaction, as well as certain home accessories and soft goods products, subject to our ability to provide competitive pricing and delivery terms for such products. The royalty agreement requires eLuxury to pay us a royalty fee based on a percentage of sales, as defined in the royalty agreement, for sales of eLuxury’s products to certain business-to-business customers, including customers which we referred to eLuxury prior to the sale transaction and new customer relationships we develop for eLuxury going forward, as well of eLuxury products generated by sales representatives that we develop or introduce to eLuxury.
There are no guarantees or provisions under either the supply or royalty agreements that require eLuxury to purchase a minimum amount of our products or sell a certain amount of eLuxury products to customer or through sales representatives developed or introduced by us. As a result, the success of these agreements and the period of time in which our involvement with eLuxury is expected to continue are based on eLuxury’s ability to sell products that require mattress and upholstery fabrics and our ability to provide an additional sales channel for eLuxury to grow their business-business sales platform.
As a result of our continuing involvement with eLuxury, we reported net sales and the related cost of sales associated with our inventory shipments to eLuxury in accordance with Topic 205-20-50-4B, which requires us to report these transactions in continuing operations for our Consolidated Statement of Income for the three-months ending August 4, 2019. Therefore, we reported both net sales and cost of sales from continuing operations totaling $174,000 during the three-months ending August 4, 2019, that were previously eliminated in consolidation.
During the three-months ending August 2, 2020, shipments to eLuxury under the supply arrangement totaled $244,000. During the three-months ending August 2, 2020, we received payments pursuant to the royalty agreement totaling $17,000.
Financial Guarantee
Currently, we have an agreement that guarantees 70% of any unpaid lease payments associated with eLuxury’s facility located in Evansville, Indiana. The lease agreement expires in September 2024 and requires monthly payments of $18,865. Under the terms of the sale of our controlling interest in eLuxury, the buyer (the former noncontrolling interest holder) must use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the lessor to release us from this financial guarantee of eLuxury’s lease agreement. Additionally, eLuxury, and its sole owner following the sale transaction, have indemnified us from any liabilities and obligations that we would be required to pay regarding this lease agreement.

During the three-months ended August 2, 2020, we assessed the credit risk of our customers within our accounts receivable. Our risk assessment includes the respective customer’s (i) financial position; (ii) past payment history; (iii) management’s general ability; (iv) historical loss experience; and (v) the ongoing economic uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 global pandemic. After our risk assessment was completed, we assigned credit grades to our customers, which in turn, were used to determine our allowance for doubtful accounts totaling $552,000 as of August 2, 2020.

5. Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Nature of Performance Obligations
Continuing Operations
Our continuing operations are classified into two business segments: mattress fabrics and upholstery fabrics. The mattress fabrics segment manufactures, sources, and sells fabrics and mattress covers primarily to bedding manufacturers. The upholstery fabrics segment develops, manufactures, sources, and sells fabrics primarily to residential and commercial furniture manufacturers. Additionally, Read Window Products LLC (“Read”), a wholly-owned subsidiary, is a turn-key provider of window treatments and sourcing of upholstery fabrics and other products, as well as measuring, and installation services of Read’s products for the hospitality and commercial industries. Read also supplies soft goods such as decorative top sheets, coverlets, duvet covers, bed skirts, bolsters, and pillows. Read is included in the upholstery fabrics segment.
Our primary performance obligations include the sale of mattress fabrics and upholstery fabrics, as well as the performance of customized fabrication and installation services of Read’s own products associated with window treatments.
Discontinued Operation – Home Accessories Segment
As disclosed in Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements, we sold our entire ownership interest in eLuxury on March 31, 2020, and consequently our home accessories segment was eliminated at such time. Thus, the results of operations associated with our home accessories segment were excluded from our continuing operations and are presented as a discontinued operation in our consolidated financial statements.
The home accessories segment was our finished products business that manufactured, sourced, and sold bedding accessories and home goods directly to consumers and businesses through global e-commerce, business-to-business, and other sales channels.
Prior to its disposal, our former home accessories segment reported net sales totaling $4.3 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Revenue associated with the sales of home accessories products was recognized at the point-in-time when control was transferred to the customer.
Contract Assets & Liabilities
Certain contracts, primarily those for customized fabrication and installation services associated with Read, require upfront customer deposits that result in a contract liability which is recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as deferred revenue. If upfront deposits or prepayments are not required, customers may be granted credit terms which generally range from 15 – 60 days. For a limited time, extended terms were granted to certain customers in response to the challenging business conditions resulting from the COVID-19 global pandemic. Our customary terms, as well as the limited extended terms, are common within the industries in which we operate and are not considered financing arrangements. There were no contract assets recognized as of August 2, 2020, August 4, 2019, and May 3, 2020.
A summary of the activity associated with deferred revenue for the three-month periods ended August 2, 2020, and August 4, 2019, follows:

Tradenames
Our tradename totaling $540,000 as of August 2, 2020, pertained to Read, a separate reporting unit within the upholstery fabrics segment. This tradename was determined to have an indefinite useful life at the time of its acquisition, and therefore, is not being amortized. However, we are required to assess this tradename annually or between annual tests if we believe indicators of impairment exist. Based on our assessment as of August 2, 2020, no indicators of impairment existed.
However, during our annual assessment as of May 3, 2020, we performed a qualitative assessment in which we concluded that it was more-likely-than-not that the fair value of Read’s tradename was less than its carrying amount. This conclusion was based on impairment indicators that existed, such as our unfavorable financial performance during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 and the significant decline in the price per share of our common stock and market capitalization stemming from the COVID-19 global pandemic. Since we determined it was more-likely-than-not that the fair market value of Read’s tradename was less than its carrying amount, we performed a quantitative impairment test. Our quantitative impairment test involved determining the fair value of Read’s tradename and comparing the respective fair value of Read’s tradename with its carrying amount. Consequently, based on our quantitative impairment test, we recorded an asset impairment charge totaling $143,000 during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.
As a result of our quantitative impairment test, we determined the fair value of our tradename was $540,000 using the relief from royalty method. This method used significant unobservable inputs and therefore, the fair value of our tradename was classified as level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

8. Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Venture
Culp International Holdings, Ltd. (Culp International), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company, entered into a joint venture agreement pursuant to which Culp International owns fifty percent of Class International Holdings, Ltd. (CLIH). CLIH produces cut and sewn mattress covers in an 80,000 square foot facility located in a modern industrial park on the northeastern border of Haiti, which borders the Dominican Republic. CLIH complements our mattress fabric operations with a reactive platform that enhances our ability to meet customer demand while adding a lower cost operation to our platform.
On December 20, 2019, CLIH entered into an agreement to construct an additional plant facility totaling 40,000 square feet, which is currently expected to be completed during the second quarter of fiscal 2021. This new plant facility will be near our existing operations and will provide additional capacity that will enhance our ability to produce sewn covers. This agreement requires payments totaling $1.2 million, of which $600,000 was paid in February 2020, $180,000 was paid May 2020, and the remaining balance of $420,000 is to be paid upon completion.
CLIH reported net income totaling $134,000 and $26,000 for the three-month periods ending August 2, 2020, and August 4, 2019, respectively. Our equity interest in CLIH’s net income was $67,000 and $13,000 for the three-month periods ending August 2, 2020, and August 4, 2019, respectively.

10. Lines of Credit and Paycheck Protection Program Loan
Revolving Credit Agreement – United States
Our Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”) provides a revolving loan commitment of $30 million, is set to expire on August 15, 2022, and allows us to issue letters of credit not to exceed $1 million.
Interest is charged at a rate (applicable interest rate of 1.75%, 3.68%, and 1.75% as of August 2, 2020, August 4, 2019, and May 3, 2020, respectively) as a variable spread over LIBOR based on our ratio of debt to EBITDA.
Outstanding borrowings are secured by a pledge of 65% of the common stock of Culp International Holdings Ltd. (our subsidiary located in the Cayman Islands), as required by the Credit Agreement.
As a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic and the uncertainty relating to the unknown duration and overall effect on the company, we proactively took a precautionary measure and borrowed the maximum amount available from this line of credit during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. Consequently, we had outstanding borrowings of $29.8 million under the Credit Agreement as of May 3, 2020. During June 2020, we repaid the entire $29.8 million outstanding balance, and as a result, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of August 2, 2020. Additionally, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of August 4, 2019.
As of August 2, 2020, August 4, 2019, and May 3, 2020, there were $250,000 in outstanding letters of credit (all of which related to workers compensation) provided by the Credit Agreement. As of August 2, 2020, we had $750,000 remaining for the issuance of additional letters of credit.
Seventh Amendment to the Credit Agreement
Effective June 30, 2020, we entered into a Seventh Amendment to our Credit Agreement which includes provisions that (i) modify the method for calculating the company’s debt to EBITDA covenant under the Credit Agreement solely during the temporary period beginning on the date of the Seventh Amendment and ending on the Rate Determination Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement), next following the end of the company’s fiscal 2021 fourth quarter (such temporary period, the “Modification Period,”), and (ii) amend the pricing matrix used to determine the interest rate payable on loans made under the Credit Agreement solely during the Modification Period.
I-14
Specifically, the Seventh Amendment provides that during Modification Period, the company’s ratio of debt to EBITDA shall be determined by excluding the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 from the calculation thereof, such that the ratio shall be determined using the four most recent quarterly periods other than (i.e. excluding) the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, rather than calculating on a rolling four-quarter basis. It further provides that during the Modification Period, the Applicable Margin (as defined in the Credit Agreement) set forth the pricing matrix is increased to 1.6% for price level I, 2.05% for price level II, 2.5% for price level III, and 3.00% for price level IV.
Additionally, the Seventh Amendment (i) changes the capital expenditure covenant by reducing permitted annual capital expenditures to $10 million during fiscal year 2021, (ii) changes the liens and other indebtedness covenant to reduce the permitted amount of allowable liens and other indebtedness to 5% of consolidated net worth, and (iii) adds a new covenant that prohibits the company, solely during the Modification Period, from paying dividends or repurchasing stock in excess of $10 million in the aggregate during the Modification Period.
Revolving Credit Agreement – China
We have an unsecured credit agreement associated with our operations in China that provides for a line of credit up to 40 million RMB’s ($5.7 million USD as of August 2, 2020). This agreement has an interest rate determined by the Chinese government at the time of borrowing and is set to expire on December 4, 2020. As of May 3, 2020, there were outstanding borrowings under the agreement totaling $1.0 million, at an applicable interest rate of 2.41%. During June 2020, we repaid the entire $1.0 million outstanding balance, and as a result, there were no borrowings outstanding under the agreement as of August 2, 2020. Additionally, there were no borrowings outstanding under the agreement as of August 4, 2019.
Small Business Administration - Paycheck Protection Program
On April 15, 2020, we received a loan of $7.6 million (the “Loan”) pursuant to the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act of 2020 (the “CARES Act”). We planned to use the proceeds from the Loan for covered payroll costs, rent, and utilities in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of the CARES Act. We believed the Loan would enable us to retain more of our employees, maintain payroll and benefits, and make lease and utility payments while producing and supplying critical products for essential businesses during the COVID-19 global pandemic.
Following our application and receipt of the Loan, the SBA and U.S. Treasury Department issued new guidance regarding eligibility requirements under the PPP, raising questions regarding the eligibility of publicly traded companies to receive loans under the program. As a result, out of an abundance of caution, we voluntarily repaid the Loan in full on May 13, 2020.
Overall
Our loan agreements require, among other things, that we maintain compliance with certain financial covenants. As of August 2, 2020, we were in compliance with these financial covenants.
11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and the company’s assumptions (unobservable inputs). Determining where an asset or liability falls within that hierarchy depends on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole. An adjustment to the pricing method used within either level 1 or level 2 inputs could generate a fair value measurement that effectively falls in a lower level in the hierarchy.
The hierarchy consists of three broad levels as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – Inputs other than level 1 inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs developed using the company’s estimates and assumptions, which reflect those that market participants would use.
The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the hierarchy requires significant judgment. We evaluate our hierarchy disclosures each quarter based on various factors and it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter. However, we expect that changes in classifications between different levels will be rare.

Short-Term Investments – Available for Sale
Our short-term investments classified as available for sale consisted of a short-term mutual bond funds and had an accumulated unrealized gain totaling $6,000 as of August 2, 2020, and $9,000, as of May 3, 2020. Our short-term investments classified as available for sale were recorded at their fair values of $983,000, and $923,000 as of August 2, 2020, and May 3, 2020, respectively. As of August 2, 2020, and May 3, 2020, the fair value of our short-term investments approximated their cost basis. There were no short-term investments classified as available for sale on August 4, 2019.
Short-Term and Long-Term Investments - Held-To-Maturity
Our investments classified as held-to-maturity consisted of investment grade U.S. corporate bonds, foreign bonds, and government bonds with original maturities that range from 2 to 10 years, all of which have remaining maturities of less than 2 years as of August 2, 2020. These investments were classified as held-to-maturity as we have the positive intent and ability to hold these investments until maturity. Our held-to-maturity investments were recorded as either current or noncurrent on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, based on the maturity date in relation to the respective reporting period and recorded amortized cost.
As of August 2, 2020, and May 3, 2020, our held-to-maturity investments recorded at amortized cost totaled $6.4 million and $6.3 million, respectively. The fair value of our held-to-maturity investments as of August 2, 2020, and May 3, 2020, totaled $6.5 million and $6.4 million, respectively. There were no investments classified as held-to-maturity on August 4, 2019.
Our bond investments were classified as level 2 as they were traded over the counter within a broker network and not on an active market. The fair value of our bond investments were determined based on a published source that provided an average bid
I-16
price. The average bid price was based on various broker prices that were determined based on market conditions, interest rates, and the rating of the respective bond investment.
Current Expected Credit Loses (CECL)- Available for Sale and Held-To-Maturity Investments
As of May 4, 2020, we did not have an allowance for credit losses related to our short-term available for sale and held-to-maturity investments, which are comprised mostly of fixed income securities that are predominantly high-grade U.S. and foreign corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury bonds, and short-term mutual bond funds.
As a result of our adoption of Topic 326 effective May 4, 2020, we determined that our credit loss exposure was immaterial due to the short-term nature of our mutual bond funds and we have experienced historically low unrealized losses and gains during past reporting periods. In addition, it is not our intention to sell or likely that we will be required to sell our held-to-maturity investments before the recovery of their amortized cost basis.
As of August 2, 2020, we reported an accumulated unrealized gain of $6,000 associated with our short-term investments classified as available for sale. As mentioned above, it is not our intention to sell or is likely that we will be required to sell our held-to-maturity investments before the recovery of their amortized cost basis. Accordingly, we did not record any credit loss expense during the three-months ending August 2, 2020.
Long-Term Investments - Rabbi Trust
We have a rabbi trust to set aside funds for participants of our deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”), which enables its participants to credit their contributions to various investment options of the Plan. The investments associated with the rabbi trust consist of a money market fund and various mutual funds that are classified as available for sale.
The long-term investments associated with our rabbi trust were recorded at their fair values of $7.9 million, $7.3 million, and $7.8 million as of August 2, 2020, August 4, 2019, and May 3, 2020, respectively. The long-term investments associated with our rabbi trust had an accumulated unrealized gain of $53,000 as of August 2, 2020, an unrealized gain of $46,000 as of August 4, 2019, and an unrealized loss of $19,000 as of May 3, 2020. The fair value of our long-term investments associated with our rabbi trust approximates their cost basis.
Other
The carrying amount of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these financial instruments.
Nonrecurring Basis – Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2020
Continuing Operations
In accordance with ASC Topic 350 Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, we are required to assess our goodwill and tradename for impairment annually or between annual tests if we believe indicators of impairment exist. Accordingly, we performed our annual assessment of goodwill associated with our mattress fabrics segment and goodwill and tradename affiliated with Read as of May 3, 2020. Based on our qualitative assessment we concluded that impairment indicators existed, such as our unfavorable financial performance during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 and the significant decline in the price per share of our common stock and market capitalization stemming from the COVID-19 global pandemic. As a result, we determined it was more-likely-than-not that the goodwill associated with our mattress fabrics segment and the goodwill and tradename affiliated with Read were impaired, and therefore, we conducted quantitative asset impairment tests. Consequently, based on the results of our quantitative asset impairment tests as of May 3, 2020, we recorded an asset impairment charge totaling $13.6 million during our fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 for the entire carrying amount of our goodwill associated with our mattress fabrics segment and Read. Additionally, we recorded an asset impairment charge of $143,000 during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 which reduced the carrying amount of Read’s tradename to its fair value of $540,000.
Our fair values associated with our goodwill and tradename were determined using a discounted cash flow and the relief from royalty methods, respectively. These methods used significant unobservable inputs, and therefore, the fair values of our goodwill and tradename were classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Discontinued Operation – Home Accessories Segment
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, we record asset impairment charges totaling $6.6 million, of which $4.2 million and $2.4 million were for the entire remaining carrying value associated with our former home accessories segment’s tradename and goodwill. These impairment charges were based on the expected selling price of our entire ownership interest in eLuxury in
I-17
comparison to its carrying amount. As disclosed in Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements, effective March 31, 2020, we sold our entire ownership interest in eLuxury to its noncontrolling interest holder resulting in the elimination of the home accessories segment at such time. Based on the terms of the sale agreement, we did not receive any consideration for eLuxury’s net assets associated with the sale of our entire ownership in eLuxury. We believe the expected selling price represents a significant observable input and therefore, the fair values of our former home accessories segment’s tradename and goodwill were classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

In accordance with the provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, corporate taxpayers were eligible to treat prior AMT credit carryforwards as refundable. Accordingly, we elected to treat our prior AMT credit carryforward balance of $1.5 million as refundable, and as a result, 50% of the $1.5 million refundable balance was expected to be received in each our fiscal years 2021 and 2022, respectively. Net income taxes paid for the three-month period ending August 2, 2020, included our first 50% installment of our refundable balance totaling $746,000.
|
In accordance with the provisions of the CARES Act, 100% of AMT credit carryforwards for tax years beginning in the 2019 tax year were immediately refundable. Accordingly, we claimed credit for the remaining 50% installment of our refundable AMT credit carryforward in May 2020. We received our remaining 50% installment plus interest totaling $764,000 during the second quarter of fiscal 2021.

The net income tax payments totaling $9,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 included income tax payments associated with our foreign jurisdictions totaling $755,000 that were mostly offset by the U.S. income tax refund of $746,000 received during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 as referenced in note (1) above. The income tax payments totaling $1.8 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2020, represented income tax payments associated with our foreign jurisdictions totaling $984,000 and a withholding tax payment of $838,000 paid to the Chinese government for earnings and profits repatriated to the U.S. parent company.

13. Net (Loss) Income from Continuing Operations Per Share
Basic net (loss) income from continuing operations per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net (loss) income from continuing operations per share uses the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period plus the dilutive effect of stock-based compensation calculated using the treasury stock method.
Weighted average shares used in the computation of basic and diluted net (loss) income from continuing operations per share are as follows:

During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, 27,153 shares of unvested common stock were not included in the computation of diluted net loss from continuing operations per share, as their effect would be antidilutive as result a result of the decrease in the price per share of our common stock during the reporting period in relation to the price per share of our common stock as of the respective grant dates of our stock-based compensation awards. During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, an additional 6,675 shares of unvested common stock were not included in the computation of diluted net loss from continuing operations per share, as we incurred a net loss, in which their effect would be antidilutive. During the first quarter of fiscal 2020, 612 shares of unvested common stock were not included in the computation of diluted net income from continuing operations per share as their effect would be antidilutive, as result of the decrease in the price per share of our common stock during the reporting period in relation to the price per share of our common stock as of the respective grant dates of our stock-based compensation awards.

14. Segment Information
Overall
Continuing Operations
Our continuing operations are classified into two business segments: mattress fabrics and upholstery fabrics.
Mattress Fabrics
The mattress fabrics segment manufactures, sources, and sells fabrics and mattress covers primarily to bedding manufacturers.
Upholstery Fabrics
The upholstery fabrics segment develops, manufactures, sources, and sells fabrics primarily to residential and commercial furniture manufacturers. Additionally, the segment includes Read, a wholly-owned subsidiary, which is a turn-key provider of window treatments and sourcing of upholstery fabrics and other products, as well as measuring, and installation services of Read’s own products for the hospitality and commercial industries. Read also supplies soft goods such as decorative top sheets, coverlets, duvet covers, bed skirts, bolsters, and pillows.
Discontinued Operation – Home Accessories Segment
As disclosed in Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements, we sold our entire ownership interest in eLuxury on March 31, 2020, and consequently our home accessories segment was eliminated at such time. Thus, the results of operations associated with our home accessories segment were excluded from our continuing operations and presented as a discontinued operation in our consolidated financial statements.
Our former home accessories segment was our finished products business that manufactured, sourced, and sold bedding accessories and home goods directly to consumers and businesses through global e-commerce, business-to-business, and other sales channels.
See Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements for detailed financial information of our former home accessories segment. As disclosed in Note 3, a reconciliation is provided that has detailed balance sheet information as of August 4, 2019, that is reconciled to captions titled “current assets – discontinued operation”, “noncurrent assets – discontinued operation”, current liabilities – discontinued operation”, and “noncurrent liabilities – discontinued operation” presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of August 4, 2019. Also, a reconciliation is provided that pertains to detailed income statement information disclosed in Note 3 and is reconciled to net loss from discontinued operation presented in the Consolidated Statements of Net Income for the three-month period ending August 4, 2019.
Financial Information
We evaluate the operating performance of our current business segments based upon income (loss) from continuing operations before certain unallocated corporate expenses, asset impairments, restructuring credit (expense) and restructuring related charges, and other non-recurring items. Cost of sales for each segment includes costs to develop, manufacture, or source our products, including costs such as raw material and finished goods purchases, direct and indirect labor, overhead, and incoming freight charges. Unallocated corporate expenses primarily represent compensation and benefits for certain executive officers and their staff, all costs associated with being a public company, and other miscellaneous expenses. Segment assets include assets used in the operations of each segment and primarily consist of accounts receivable, inventories, property, plant, and equipment, and right of use assets. The mattress fabrics segment also includes in segment assets its investment in an unconsolidated joint venture. Goodwill and intangible assets are not included in segment assets, as these assets are not used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker to evaluate the respective segment’s operating performance, allocate resources to the individual segments, or determine executive compensation.

Effective Income Tax Rate
We recorded income tax expense of $4.3 million, or 283.7% of income before income taxes from continuing operations, for the three-month period ended August 2, 2020, compared with income tax expense of $1.7 million, or 48.9% of income before income taxes from continuing operations, for the three-month period ended August 4, 2019. Our effective income tax rates associated with our continuing operations for the three-month periods ended August 2, 2020, and August 4, 2019, were based upon the estimated effective income tax rate applicable for the full year after giving effect to any significant items related specifically to interim periods. The effective income tax rate can be affected over the fiscal year by the mix and timing of actual earnings from our U.S. operations and foreign subsidiaries located in China and Canada versus annual projections, as well as changes in foreign currency exchange rates in relation to the U.S. dollar.
The following schedule summarizes the principal differences between income tax expense from continuing operations at the U.S. federal income tax rate and the effective income tax rate from continuing operations reflected in the consolidated financial statements for the three-month periods ending August 2, 2020 and August 4, 2019:

U.S. Tax Law Change
Effective July 20, 2020, the U.S Treasury Department finalized and enacted previously proposed regulations regarding the Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (“GILTI”) tax provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“TCJA”). Prior to this enactment, GILTI represented a significant U.S. income tax on our foreign earnings during fiscal 2019 ($2.1 million) and fiscal 2020 ($1.9 million). With the enactment of these final regulations, we are now eligible for an exclusion from GILTI since we meet the provisions for the GILTI High-Tax exception included in the final regulations. In addition, the enactment of the new regulations and our eligibility for the GILTI High-Tax exception are retroactive to the original enactment of the GILTI tax provision, which includes our 2019 and 2020 fiscal years.
I-22
As a result of the newly enacted regulations, we recorded a non-cash income tax benefit of $3.5 million resulting from the re-establishment of certain U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards. This $3.5 million income tax benefit was recorded as a discrete event in which its full income tax effects were recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2021.
Valuation Allowance
In accordance with ASC Topic 740, we evaluate our deferred income taxes to determine if a valuation allowance is required. ASC Topic 740 requires that companies assess whether a valuation allowance should be established based on the consideration of all available evidence using a “more-likely-than-not” standard, with significant weight being given to evidence that can be objectively verified. Since the company operates in multiple jurisdictions, we assess the need for a valuation allowance on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis, considering the effects of local tax law.
As a result of the U.S. tax law change relating to the GILTI tax provisions of the TCJA, we assessed the need for an additional valuation allowance against our U.S. net deferred income taxes, as GILTI represented a significant source of our U.S. taxable income during fiscal 2019 and 2020 that offset our U.S. pre-tax losses during such years, and which offset is now reversed as a result of the retroactivity of the new regulations. Consequently, due to the retroactivity of the new regulations, we experienced a recent history of cumulative U.S. taxable losses during our last two fiscal years and we currently expect our history of U.S. pre-tax losses to continue into fiscal 2021, as a result of the continuing economic uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 global pandemic. As a result of the significant weight of this negative evidence, we believe it is more-likely-than-not that our U.S. net deferred income tax assets will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, we recorded a non-cash income tax charge of $7.0 million to provide for a full valuation allowance against our U.S. net deferred income tax assets. This $7.0 million income tax charge was recorded as a discrete event in which its full income tax effects were recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2021.
Additionally, we recorded a $271,000 income tax charge through our first quarter of fiscal 2021 to provide for a full valuation allowance against a U.S. income tax loss carryforward that is originating during the current fiscal year. The $271,000 was included in our annual effective income tax rate and not treated as a discrete event.
Based on our assessments as of August 2, 2020, August 4, 2019, and May 3, 2020, valuation allowances against our net deferred income taxes pertain to the following:

Undistributed Earnings
In accordance with ASC Topic 740, we assess whether the undistributed earnings from our foreign subsidiaries will be reinvested indefinitely or eventually distributed to our U.S. parent company. As of August 2, 2020, we assessed the liquidity requirements of our U.S. parent company and determined that our undistributed earnings from our foreign subsidiaries would not be reinvested indefinitely and would be eventually distributed to our U.S. parent company. The conclusion reached from our assessment has been consistent with prior years. ASC Topic 740 requires that a deferred tax liability should be recorded for undistributed earnings from foreign subsidiaries that will not be reinvested indefinitely, and as a result we recorded a deferred tax liability associated with undistributed earnings from our foreign subsidiaries. Also, we assess the recognition of U.S. foreign income tax credits associated with foreign withholding and income tax payments and whether it is more-likely-than-not that our foreign income tax credits will not be realized. If it is determined that any foreign income tax credits need to be recognized or it is more-likely-than-not our foreign income tax credits will not be realized, an adjustment to our provision for income taxes will be recognized at that time.
As a result of the TCJA, a U.S. corporation is allowed a 100% dividend received deduction for earnings and profits received from a 10% owned foreign corporation. Therefore, a deferred tax liability will be required only for withholding taxes that are incurred by our foreign subsidiaries at the time earnings and profits are distributed. As a result, as of August 2, 2020, August 4, 2019, and May 3, 2020, we recorded a deferred income tax liability of $3.6 million, $2.9 million, and $3.4 million, respectively, for withholding taxes on undistributed earnings and profits from our foreign subsidiaries.
Uncertain Income Tax Positions
In accordance with ASC Topic 740, an unrecognized income tax benefit for an uncertain income tax position can be recognized in the first interim period if the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is met by the reporting period, or is effectively settled through examination, negotiation, or litigation, or the statute of limitations for the relevant taxing authority to examine and challenge the tax position has expired. If it is determined that any of the above conditions occur regarding our uncertain income tax positions, an adjustment to our unrecognized income tax benefits will be recorded at that time.
I-23
As of August 2, 2020, we had a $1.4 million total gross unrecognized income tax benefit, of which $1.1 million and $380,000 were recorded to income taxes payable-long-term and noncurrent deferred income taxes, respectively, in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of August 4, 2019, we had a $914,000 total gross unrecognized income tax benefit that was recorded to income taxes payable-long-term in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of May 3, 2020, we had a $1.3 million total gross income tax benefit that was recorded to income taxes payable-long term in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As of August 2, 2020, we had a $1.4 million total gross unrecognized income tax benefit, of which $1.1 million would favorably affect the income tax rate in future periods. As of August 4, 2019, the entire $914,000 total gross unrecognized income tax benefit would have favorably affected the income tax rate in future periods. As of May 3, 2020, the entire $1.3 million total gross unrecognized income would have favorably affected the income tax rate in future periods.
Our gross unrecognized income tax benefit of $1.4 million relates to income tax positions for which significant change is currently not expected within the next year. This amount primarily relates to double taxation under applicable income tax treaties with foreign tax jurisdictions.
16. Stock-Based Compensation
Equity Incentive Plan Description
On September 16, 2015, our shareholders approved an equity incentive plan titled the Culp, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”). The 2015 Plan authorizes the grant of stock options intended to qualify as incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units, and other equity and cash related awards as determined by our Compensation Committee. An aggregate of 1,200,000 shares of common stock were authorized for issuance under the 2015 Plan, with certain sub-limits that would apply with respect to specific types of awards that may be issued as defined in the 2015 Plan.
As of August 2, 2020, there were 683,818 shares available for future equity-based grants under our 2015 plan.
Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units
Senior Executives
We grant performance-based restricted stock units to certain senior executives which could earn up to a certain number of shares of common stock if certain performance targets are met over a three-fiscal year performance period as defined in the related restricted stock unit agreements. The number of shares of common stock that are earned based on the performance targets that have been achieved may be adjusted based on a market-based total shareholder return component as defined in the related restricted stock unit agreements.
Compensation cost for share-based awards is measured based on their fair market value on the date of grant. The fair market value per share was determined using the Monte Carlo simulation model for the market-based total shareholder return component and the closing price of our common stock for the performance-based component.
There were no performance-based restricted stock units granted to certain senior executives during the three-months ended August 2, 2020.
The following table provides assumptions used to determine the fair market value of the market-based total shareholder return component using the Monte Carlo simulation model on our outstanding performance-based restricted units granted to certain senior executives on July 18, 2019 and August 2, 2018:

The expected volatility and correlation coefficient of our peer companies for the July 18, 2019 grant date were based on peer companies that were approved by the Compensation Committee of our board of directors as an aggregate benchmark for determining the market-based total shareholder return component. Therefore, we disclosed ranges of the expected volatility and correlation coefficient for the companies that represented this peer group.

|
The expected volatility and correlation coefficient of our peer companies for the August 2, 2018 grant date were based on the Russell 2000 Index, which was approved by the Compensation Committee of our board of directors as the benchmark for determining the market-based total shareholder return component. Since the Russell 2000 Index was the only benchmark for determining the market-based total shareholder return component, no ranges were disclosed for these assumptions.

Key Employees and a Non-Employee
We grant performance-based restricted stock units which could earn up to a certain number of shares of common stock if certain performance targets are met over a three-fiscal year performance period as defined in the related restricted stock unit agreements.
Our performance-based restricted stock units granted to key employees were measured based on the fair market value (the closing price of our common stock) on the date of grant. No market-based total shareholder return component was included in these awards. Our performance-based restricted stock units granted to a non-employee, which vested during the first quarter of fiscal 2020, were measured based on the fair market value (closing price of our common stock) on the date when the performance criteria were met.
There were no performance-based restricted stock units granted to our key employees or any non-employees during the three-months ended August 2, 2020.

We recorded a (credit) or a charge to compensation expense of $(11,000) and compensation expense of $68,000 within selling, general, and administrative expenses for the three-month periods ending August 2, 2020, and August 4, 2019, respectively. Compensation cost is recorded based on an assessment each reporting period to determine the probability if certain performance goals will be met as of the end of the vesting period. If certain performance goals are not expected to be achieved, compensation cost would not be recorded, and any previously recognized compensation cost would be reversed.
As of August 2, 2020, there were no performance-based restricted stock units expected to vest. Therefore, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to our outstanding performance-based restricted stock units as of August 2, 2020.

17. Leases
Overview
We lease manufacturing facilities, office space, distribution centers, and equipment under operating lease arrangements. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at its inception if it conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Operating leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recognized in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We recognize a right of use asset and lease liability on the commencement date of a lease arrangement based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.
Our operating leases have remaining lease terms of 1 to 6 years, with renewal options for additional periods ranging up to 10 years. A lease term may include renewal options if it is reasonably certain that the option to renew a lease period will be exercised. A renewal option is considered reasonably certain to be exercised if there is a significant economic incentive, as defined in ASC Topic 842, to exercise the renewal option on the date a lease arrangement is commenced. Currently, renewal options are not included in the lease terms for any of our leases, as there is not a significant economic incentive for us to exercise any of our renewal options.
Most of our leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, and as a result, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on information available on the commencement date of a lease arrangement in determining the present value of lease our payments.
Balance Sheet
The right of use asset and lease liabilities associated with our operating leases as of August 2, 2020, August 4, 2019, and May 3, 2020, are as follows:

18. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
The company is involved in legal proceedings and claims which have arisen in the ordinary course of business. Management has determined that it is not reasonably possible that these actions, when ultimately concluded and settled, will have a material adverse effect upon the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the company.
Accounts Payable – Capital Expenditures
As of August 2, 2020, August 4, 2019, and May 3, 2020, we had total amounts due regarding capital expenditures totaling $333,000, $50,000, and $107,000, respectively, which pertained to outstanding vendor invoices, none of which were financed. These total outstanding amounts were required to be paid based on normal credit terms.
Purchase Commitments – Capital Expenditures
As of August 2, 2020, we had open purchase commitments to acquire equipment for our mattress fabrics segment totaling $2.0 million.
19. Statutory Reserves
Our subsidiaries located in China are required to transfer 10% of their net income, as determined in accordance with the People’s Republic of China (PRC) accounting rules and regulations, to a statutory surplus reserve fund until such reserve balance reaches 50% of the company’s registered capital.
The transfer to this reserve must be made before distributions of any dividend to shareholders. As of August 2, 2020, the company’s statutory surplus reserve was $4.2 million, representing 10% of accumulated earnings and profits determined in accordance with PRC accounting rules and regulations. The surplus reserve fund is non-distributable other than during liquidation and can be used to fund previous years’ losses, if any. The surplus reserve fund may be utilized for business expansion or converted into share capital by issuing new shares to existing shareholders in proportion to their shareholding or by increasing the par value of the shares currently held by them provided that the remaining reserve balance after such issue is not less than 25% of the registered capital.
I-28
Our subsidiaries located in China can transfer funds to the parent company except for the statutory surplus reserve of $4.2 million to assist with debt repayment, capital expenditures, and other expenses of the company’s business.
20. Common Stock Repurchase Program
In March 2020, our board of directors approved an authorization for us to acquire up to $5.0 million of our common stock. Under the common stock repurchase program, shares may be purchased from time to time in open market transactions, block trades, through plans established under the Securities Exchange Act Rule 10b5-1, or otherwise. The number of shares purchased, and the timing of such purchases will be based on working capital requirements, market and general business conditions, and other factors, including alternative investment opportunities.
As part of our comprehensive response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we announced on April 3, 2020, that our board of directors temporarily suspended the share repurchase program given the ongoing economic disruption and uncertainty. Accordingly, we did not purchase any shares of our common stock during the three-month period ending August 2, 2020. Additionally, we did not purchase any shares of our common stock during the three-month period ending August 4, 2019.
As of August 2, 2020, we had $5.0 million available for repurchases of our common stock.
21. Dividend Program
On September 2, 2020, we announced that our board of directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.105 per share. This payment will be made on or about October 15, 2020, to shareholders of record as of October 8, 2020.
During the three-months ended August 2, 2020, dividend payments totaled $1.3 million, which represented a quarterly dividend payment of $0.105 per share. During the three-months ended August 4, 2019, dividend payments totaled $1.2 million, which represented a quarterly dividend payment of $0.10 per share.
Our board of directors has sole authority to determine if and when we will declare future dividends and on what terms. Future dividend payments are subject to final determination by our board of directors and will depend on our earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, excess availability under our lines of credit, market conditions, and other factors we consider relevant.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This report and the exhibits attached hereto contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934). Such statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual events and results to differ materially from such statements. Further, forward looking statements are intended to speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we disclaim any duty to update or alter such statements to reflect any changes in management’s expectations or any change in the assumptions or circumstances on which such statements are based, whether due to new information, future events, or otherwise. Forward-looking statements are statements that include projections, expectations, or beliefs about future events or results or otherwise are not statements of historical fact. Such statements are often but not always characterized by qualifying words such as “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” and their derivatives, and include but are not limited to statements about expectations for our future operations, production levels, new product launches, sales, profit margins, profitability, operating income, capital expenditures, working capital levels, income taxes, SG&A or other expenses, pre-tax income, earnings, cash flow, and other performance or liquidity measures, as well as any statements regarding potential acquisitions, future economic or industry trends, public health epidemics, or future developments. There can be no assurance that the company will realize these expectations, meet its guidance, or that these beliefs will prove correct.
Factors that could influence the matters discussed in such statements include the level of housing starts and sales of existing homes, consumer confidence, trends in disposable income, and general economic conditions. Decreases in these economic indicators could have a negative effect on our business and prospects. Likewise, increases in interest rates, particularly home mortgage rates, and increases in consumer debt or the general rate of inflation, could affect us adversely. The future performance of our business depends in part on our success in conducting and finalizing acquisition negotiations and integrating acquired businesses into our existing operations. Changes in consumer tastes or preferences toward products not produced by us could erode demand for our products. Changes in tariffs or trade policy, or changes in the value of the U.S. dollar versus other currencies, could affect our financial results because a significant portion of our operations are located outside the United States. Strengthening of the U.S. dollar against other currencies could make our products less competitive on the basis of price in markets outside the United States, and the strengthening of currencies in Canada and China can have a negative impact on our sales of products produced in those places. Also, economic and political instability in international areas could affect our operations or sources of goods in those areas, as well as demand for our products in international markets. The impact of public health epidemics on employees, customers, suppliers, and the global economy, such as the global coronavirus pandemic currently affecting countries around the world, could also adversely affect our operations and financial performance. In addition, the impact of potential goodwill or intangible asset impairments or valuation allowances could affect our financial results. Finally, increases in market prices for petrochemical products can significantly affect the prices we pay for raw materials, and in turn, increase our operating costs and decrease our profitability. Further information about these factors, as well as other factors that could affect our future operations or financial results and the matters discussed in forward-looking statements, are included in Item 1A “Risk Factors” section in our Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 17, 2020, for the fiscal year ended May 3, 2020, and our subsequent periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. A forward-looking statement is neither a prediction nor a guarantee of future events or circumstances, and those future events or circumstances may not occur.
