ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

The following analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes and other exhibits included elsewhere in this report.

Overview

The company's fiscal year is the 52 or 53 week period ending on the Sunday closest to April 30. The company's six months ended November 2, 2008, and October 28, 2007, represent 27 and 26 week periods, respectively. The company has operations classified into two business segments: mattress fabrics and upholstery fabrics. The mattress fabrics segment primarily manufacturers, sources and sells fabrics to bedding manufacturers. The upholstery fabrics segment sources, manufactures and sells fabrics primarily to residential and commercial (contract) furniture manufacturers. We believe that Culp is the largest marketer of mattress fabrics in North America, and one of the largest marketers of upholstery fabrics for furniture in North America, both measured by total sales.

The company evaluates the operating performance of its segments based upon income (loss) from operations before restructuring and related charges or credits and certain unallocated corporate expenses. Unallocated corporate expenses represent primarily compensation and benefits for certain executive officers and all costs related to being a public company. Segment assets include assets used in operations of each segment and primarily consist of accounts receivable, inventories, and property, plant, and equipment. The mattress fabrics segment also includes in segment assets, assets held for sale, goodwill and other non-current assets associated with the ITG and Bodet & Horst acquisitions. The upholstery fabrics segment also includes assets held for sale in its segment assets.

The following tables set forth the net sales, gross profit, selling, general and administrative expenses and operating income (loss) by segment for the three months and six months ended November 2, 2008, and October 28, 2007.

Restructuring and Related Charges

September 2008 Upholstery Fabrics Restructuring Plan

On September 3, 2008, the board of directors approved changes to the upholstery fabric operations, including the consolidation of facilities in China and reduction of excess manufacturing capacity. Those actions were in response to the extremely challenging industry conditions for upholstery fabrics. Restructuring and related charges for this plan totaled $9.4 million, of which $6.6 million related to impairment charges on equipment, $2.1 million for accelerated depreciation, $437,000 for lease termination and other exit costs, $319,000 for inventory markdowns, $35,000 for employee termination benefits, and $3,000 for other operating costs associated with closed plant facilities. The plant closings associated with this restructuring plant were substantially completed by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2009.

Three months ended November 2, 2008 compared with Three Months Ended October 28, 2007

During the second quarter of fiscal 2009, total restructuring and related charges were $11.8 million, of which $2.1 million related to accelerated depreciation in connection with the consolidation of plant facilities in China, $1.1 million for inventory markdowns related to further streamlining of the upholstery fabrics product line and raw material components, $460,000 for lease termination and other exit costs primarily related to the consolidation of plant facilities in China, $362,000 for employee termination benefits related to SG&A staffing reductions, and $17,000 for other operating costs associated with closed plant facilities.

The $11.8 million in restructuring and related charges also includes $7.8 million for fixed write-downs that consist of impairment charges of $2.2 million for fixed assets that were abandoned in connection with the consolidation of certain plant facilities in China and $795,000 for a reduction in selling price of the company's corporate headquarters to $4.0 million. This $4.0 million is recorded in assets held for sale in the 2009 consolidated balance sheet. In addition, during the course of the company's strategic review in the second quarter of its upholstery fabrics business, the company assessed the recoverability of the carrying value of its upholstery fabric fixed assets that were being held and used in operations. This strategic review resulted in impairment losses of $4.4 million and $456,000 for fixed assets located in China and the U.S., respectively. These losses reflect the amounts by which the carrying values of these fixed assets exceed their estimated fair values determined by their estimated future discounted cash flows and quoted market prices.

Of the total $11.8 million restructuring and related charges, $3.2 million was recorded in cost of sales, $2,000 was recorded in selling, general, and administrative expense, and $8.6 million was recorded in restructuring expense in the 2009 Consolidated Statement of Net Loss.
