                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION


     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all
normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management,
necessary to present fairly the financial position of Quaker Fabric Corporation
and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of March 30, 1996 and December 30, 1995 and
the results of their operations and cash flows for the three months ended March
30, 1996 and April 1, 1995. The unaudited consolidated financial statements have
been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to those rules and
regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to
make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included
in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10- K for the year ended December 30,
1995. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial
statements for consistent presentation with the current year.

EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

     Earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average number of
common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the period. See
Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 1995.

NOTE 2 - INVENTORIES

     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and include
materials, labor and overhead. Cost is determined by the last-in, first-out
(LIFO) method.

     Inventories at March 30, 1996 and December 30, 1995 consisted of the
following:

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

        The Company's fiscal year is a 52 or 53 week period ending on the
Saturday closest to January 1. "Fiscal 1995" ended December 30, 1995 and "Fiscal
1996" will end January 4, 1997. The first three months of Fiscal 1995 and Fiscal
1996 ended April 1, 1995 and March 30, 1996, respectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      Net sales for the first three months of Fiscal 1996 decreased $3.0 million
or 6.5%, to $43.3 million from $46.3 million for the first three months of
Fiscal 1995. The average gross sales price per yard increased 4.6%, to $4.08 for
the first three months of Fiscal 1996 from $3.90 for the first three months of
Fiscal 1995. The gross volume of fabric sold decreased 11.3%, to 9.7 million
yards for the first three months of Fiscal 1996 from 10.9 million yards for the
first three months of Fiscal 1995. The Company sold 6.5% fewer yards of middle
to better-end fabrics and 17.7% fewer yards of promotional-end fabrics in the
first three months of Fiscal 1996 than in the first three months of Fiscal 1995.
The average gross sales price per yard of middle to better-end fabrics increased
by 3.9%, to $4.49 in the first three months of Fiscal 1996 as compared to $4.32
in the first three months of Fiscal 1995. The average gross sales price per yard
of promotional-end fabric increased by 3.6%, to $3.44 in the first three months
of Fiscal 1996 as compared to $3.32 in the first three months of Fiscal 1995.
Gross fabric sales within the United States decreased 13.0%, to $32.7 million in
the first three months of Fiscal 1996 from $37.6 million in the first three
months of Fiscal 1995. Foreign and Export sales increased 35.7%, to $6.9 million
in the first three months of Fiscal 1996 from $5.1 million in the first three
months of Fiscal 1995. Gross yarn sales increased 2.4%, to $4.7 million in the
first three months of Fiscal 1996 from $4.6 million in the same period of Fiscal
1995.

      The gross margin percentage for the first three months of Fiscal 1996
decreased to 21.5% as compared to 26.2% for the first three months of Fiscal
1995. The decrease in the gross profit margin was due to a reduction in
manufacturing efficiencies and lower absorption of fixed overhead costs because
of lower sales and production volume. The gross profit margin percentage
increased, however, by 440 basis points as compared to the fourth quarter of
1995. This increase, despite the reduced sales volume as compared to the fourth
quarter of 1995, was due to a reduction in raw material costs and improved
manufacturing efficiencies.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $6.6 million for
the first three months of Fiscal 1996 from $7.1 million for the first three
months of Fiscal 1995. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of net sales decreased to 15.3% in the first three months of Fiscal
1996 from 15.4% in the first three months of Fiscal 1995. The decrease in
selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales was
primarily due to a reduction in expenses associated with Quaker's operations in
Mexico, bad debts, and sampling costs.

      Interest expense was approximately $1.0 million for the first three months
of both Fiscal 1996 and Fiscal 1995. Higher levels of debt during the first
quarter of 1996 were offset by lower interest rates as a result of the amendment
to the Company's Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined) which was executed
in December 1995.

     The effective tax rate decreased to 33.0% for the first three months of
Fiscal 1996 from 37.7% for the first three months of Fiscal 1995. The decrease
in the effective tax rate is principally due to a reduction in the Company's
state income tax rate. See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
30, 1995.

     Net income for the first three months of Fiscal 1996 decreased to $1.1
million, or $0.14 per share, from $2.5 million, or $0.30 per share, for the
first three months of Fiscal 1995. For a discussion of "Earnings Per Share," see
Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 1995.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company historically has financed its operations and capital
requirements through a combination of equipment leasing, borrowings, and
internally generated funds. The Company's capital requirements have arisen
principally in connection with expansion of the Company's production capacity,
the equipment modernization program the Company has been executing to reduce
manufacturing costs, and increased working capital needs arising out of the
growth in the Company's sales.

     In December 1995, the Company amended its unsecured credit facility with
several banks (the "Credit Agreement") and increased the facility to $50.0
million. As of March 30, 1996, the Company had $5.7 million outstanding under
the Credit Agreement and unused availability of $43.7 million, net of
outstanding letters of credit. Management believes that this facility will
provide sufficient funding for the Company's capital expenditure and working
capital needs for the foreseeable future. For a discussion of the "Credit
Agreement," see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 1995.

     Net capital expenditures for the first quarter of Fiscal 1995 were $2.1
million. Capital expenditures during the first quarter of Fiscal 1996 used $3.3
million of cash. Capital expenditures were funded by cash generated from
operations and borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Management anticipates
that capital expenditures will be approximately $13.0 to $20.0 million in Fiscal
1996 and will include the acquisition of additional manufacturing equipment.
