Unsecured Term Notes

We entered into a note agreement dated August 11, 2008 that provided for the issuance of $11.0 million of unsecured term notes with a fixed interest rate of 8.01% and a term of seven years. Principal payments of $2.2 million per year are due on the notes beginning August 11, 2011. The remaining principal payments are payable over an average term of one year through August 11, 2015. Any principal pre-payments would be assessed a penalty as defined in the agreement. The agreement contains customary financial and other covenants as defined in the agreement.

Revolving Credit Agreement – United States

We have an unsecured credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”) that provides for an unsecured revolving loan commitment of $10.0 million to be used to finance working capital and general corporate purposes. The amount of borrowings that are outstanding under the credit agreement with Culp Europe noted below decrease the $10.0 million available. Interest is charged at a rate (applicable interest rate of 1.76%, 1.79%, and 1.75% at August 3, 2014, July 28, 2013, and April 27, 2014, respectively) equal to the one-month LIBOR rate plus a spread based on our ratio of debt to EBITDA as defined in the agreement. The credit agreement contains customary financial and other covenants as defined in the agreement and expires on August 31, 2015.

At August 3, 2014, July 28, 2013, and April 27, 2014, there was a $195,000 outstanding letter of credit (all of which related to workers compensation). At August 3, 2014, July 28, 2013, and April 27, 2014, there were no borrowings outstanding under the agreement.

Revolving Credit Agreement – China

We have an unsecured credit agreement associated with our operations in China that provides for a line of credit of up to 40 million RMB (approximately $6.5 million USD at August 3, 2014), expiring on May 9, 2015. This agreement has an interest rate determined by the Chinese government. There were no borrowings outstanding under the agreement as of August 3, 2014, July 28, 2013 and April 27, 2014.

Revolving Credit Agreement – Europe

As of April 27, 2014 and July 28, 2013, we had an unsecured credit agreement with Wells Fargo that bears interest at WIBOR (Warsaw Interbank Offered Rate) plus 2% (applicable interest rate of 4.38% and 4.625% at April 27, 2014 and July 28, 2013, respectively). There were $586,000 and $560,000 (1.8 million Polish Zloty) in borrowings outstanding under the agreement at April 27, 2014 and July 28, 2013, respectively.

Effective May 2, 2014, we converted our 1.8 million Polish Zloty denominated borrowings under the credit agreement to EURO denominated borrowings totaling €424,000 ($569,000 USD). In addition, our applicable interest rate was reduced to 2.31%.

In connection with the Wells Fargo credit agreement noted above, the outstanding borrowings totaling $569,000 at August 3, 2014, decrease the $10.0 million available under the credit agreement.

Overall

Our loan agreements require, among other things, that we maintain compliance with certain financial covenants. At August 3, 2014, the company was in compliance with these financial covenants.

At August 3, 2014, the principal payment requirements of long-term debt during the next two fiscal years are: 2015 – $2.2 million; and 2016 - $2.2 million.

The fair value of the company’s long-term debt is estimated by discounting the future cash flows at rates currently offered to the company for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities. At August 3, 2014, the carrying value of our long-term debt was $4.4 million and the fair value was $4.6 million. At July 28, 2013, the carrying value of the company’s long-term debt was $6.6 million and the fair value was $7.0 million. At April 27, 2014, the carrying value of the company’s long-term debt was $4.4 million and the fair value was $4.6 million.
