PART I


Item 1. Business:

Unifi, Inc., a New York corporation formed in 1969, together with its
subsidiaries, hereinafter set forth, (the "Company" or "Unifi"), is engaged
predominantly in the business of processing yarns by: texturing of synthetic
filament polyester and nylon fiber; and spinning of cotton and cotton blend
fibers.

The Company's texturing operation mainly involves purchasing partially
oriented yarn (POY), which is either raw polyester or nylon filament fiber,
from chemical manufacturers and using high speed machines to draw, heat and
twist the POY to produce yarns having various physical characteristics,
depending upon its ultimate end use. The Company's cotton spinning operation
mainly involves the spinning on open-end spindles of cotton, cotton and undyed
synthetic blends, and cotton and pre-dyed polyester blends into yarns of
different strengths and thickness.

The Company currently sells textured polyester yarns, nylon yarns, dyed
yarns, covered yarns, spun yarns made of cotton, cotton and undyed synthetic
blends, pre-dyed cotton blends, and cotton and pre-dyed polyester blends
domestically and internationally to weavers and knitters who produce fabrics
for the apparel, industrial, hosiery, home furnishing, auto upholstery,
activewear, and underwear markets.

The Company, internationally, has manufacturing facilities in
Letterkenny, County Donegal, Republic of Ireland, which texturizes polyester,
as well as producing its own POY.

On June 30, 1997, Unifi and Parkdale Mills, Inc. ("Parkdale") entered into
a joint venture combining all of Unifi's cotton spinning operations with
certain of Parkdale's spun yarn assets into a new company named "Parkdale
America, LLC" (the "LLC"). Parkdale is the majority owner of the LLC and
manages the day-to-day operations of the LLC. For further information on this
matter, reference is made to Unifi's Form 8-K dated June 30, 1997, and filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC" or "Commission") on
July 15, 1997, which is incorporated herein by reference. All further
reference to Unifi's cotton spinning operations in this report should be read
in light of the Parkdale transaction.

SOURCES AND AVAILABILITY OF RAW MATERIALS:

A. POY. The primary suppliers of POY to the Company are E. I. DuPont
de Nemours and Company, Hoechst Celanese Corporation, Wellman Industries,
Cookson Fibers, Inc., and Nan Ya Plastics Corp. of America with the majority
of the Company's POY being supplied by DuPont. Although the Company is
heavily dependent upon a limited number of suppliers, the Company has not had
and does not anticipate any material difficulty in obtaining its raw POY.


I-1



B. Cotton. The Company buys its cotton, which is a commodity and is
traded on established markets, from brokers such as Staple Cotton Coop.,
Dunavant Enterprises, Conti-Cotton, HoHenBerg Brothers Co., Allenberg Cotton
Co., and Carolina Cotton Growers. The Company has not had and does not
anticipate any material difficulty in obtaining cotton.


PATENTS AND LICENSES: The Company currently has several patents and
registered trademarks, none of which it considers material to its business as
a whole.


CUSTOMERS: The Company in fiscal year ended June 29, 1997, sold
textured and spun yarns to approximately 1,400 customers, no one customer's
purchases exceeded 10% of net sales during said period, the ten largest
customers accounted for approximately 29% of total net sales and the Company
does not believe that it is dependent on any one customer.

BACKLOG: The Company, other than in connection with certain foreign
sales and for textured yarns that are package dyed according to customers'
specifications, does not manufacture to order. The Company's products can be
used in many ways and can be thought of in terms of a commodity subject to
the laws of supply and demand and, therefore, does not have what is
considered a backlog of orders. In addition, the Company does not consider its
products to be seasonal ones.


COMPETITIVE CONDITIONS: The textile industry in which the Company
currently operates is keenly competitive. The Company processes and sells
high-volume commodity products, pricing is highly competitive with product
quality and customer service being essential for differentiating the
competitors within the industry. Product quality insures manufacturing
efficiencies for the customer. The Company's polyester and nylon yarns, dyed
yarns, covered yarns and cotton and cotton blend yarns compete with a number
of other domestic producers of such yarns. In the sale of polyester filament
yarns, major competitors are Atlas Yarn Company, Inc., Burlington Industries,
Inc., and Milliken & Company; in the sale of nylon yarns, dyed yarns, and
covered yarns, major competitors are Jefferson Mills, Inc., Spanco Yarns, Inc.,
Regal Manufacturing Company, and Spectrum Dyed Yarns, Inc.; and in the sale
of cotton and cotton blend yarns, major competitors are Parkdale Mills, Inc.,
Avondale Mills, Inc., Harriett & Henderson, Mayo Yarns, Inc., and TNS Mills,
Inc.


RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT: The estimated amount spent during each of the
last three fiscal years on Company-sponsored and Customer-sponsored research
and development activities is considered immaterial.





I-2



COMPLIANCE WITH CERTAIN GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS: Management of the
Company believes that the operation of the Company's production facilities
and the disposal of waste materials are substantially in compliance with
applicable laws and regulations.


EMPLOYEES: The number of full-time employees of the Company is
approximately 7,000.


FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC INTERNATIONAL
OPERATIONS AND EXPORT SALES: The information included under the heading
