PART II. - OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

1.   Memtec America Corporation obtained a confession of judgment from the 
     Circuit Court of Baltimore County, Maryland, on December 19, 1995 against 
     the Company for approximately $220,000 based upon the execution in 
     exchange for goods and services delivered by the Plaintiff. The Company 
     disputes that any amounts are due under the Note as a result of 
     Company's right of set-off. The judgment was obtained without due notice 
     to the Company. The Company retained counsel in Baltimore, Maryland for 
     the purpose of setting aside the confession of judgment and to assert a 
     number of counter claims against Memtec America Corporation. The 
     confession of judgment was vacated by order of the Circuit Court of 
     Baltimore on June 24, 1996. The Company filed an amended counter claim 
     and third party complaint on August 12, 1996 against Memtec America 
     Corporation and four employees of The Company now employed by Memtec 
     America Corporation. The counter claim against the four employees was 
     dismissed for jurisdictional purposes. The Company now is in the process 
     of securing positive depositions from key witnesses to support the 
     amended counter claim, and management believes the Company will recover 
     a reasonable award and legal fees. Although the Company cannot determine 
     the potential liability, which may result from the foregoing, it 
     believes it will prevail in its defenses and does not expect that such 
     litigation will have a material adverse effect on its financial position 
     or results of operation. Legal counsel for Plaintiff and Defendant held 
     a non-binding arbitration proceeding in November 1998 for the purpose of 
     exploring a settlement of the litigation with anticipated favorable 
     results for Puroflow.

2.   At January 31, 1998 an accrual in the amount of approximately $256,000 
     had been recorded for judgments against the Company for lawsuits that 
     have concluded.

The Company is not party, nor are its properties subject to, any material 
pending proceedings other than routine litigation incidental to the Company's 
business and the matters described above.
