                   QUAKER FABRIC CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   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 June 29, 1996 and December 30, 1995 and
the results of their operations and cash flows for the three months and six
months ended June 29, 1996 and July 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 June 29, 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 six months of Fiscal 1995 and Fiscal
1996 ended July 1, 1995 and June 29, 1996, respectively.

Results of Operations - Quarterly Comparison

      Net sales for the second three months of Fiscal 1996 increased $9.9
million, or 24.2%, to $51.0 million from $41.1 million for the second three
months of Fiscal 1995. The average gross sales price per yard increased 4.4%, to
$4.02 for the second three months of Fiscal 1996 from $3.85 for the second three
months of Fiscal 1995. This increase was principally due to an increase in
Foreign and Export sales which have a higher than average selling price and to a
higher percentage of middle to better-end fabric sales. The gross volume of
fabric sold increased 20.7% to 11.2 million yards for the second three months of
Fiscal 1996 from 9.3 million yards for the second three months of Fiscal 1995.
The Company sold 35.1% more yards of middle to better-end fabrics and 2.1% more
yards of promotional-end fabrics in the second three months of Fiscal 1996 than
in the second three months of Fiscal 1995. The average gross sales price per
yard of middle to better-end fabrics increased by 2.8% to $4.37 in the second
three months of Fiscal 1996 as compared to $4.25 in the second three months of
Fiscal 1995. The average gross sales price per yard of promotional-end fabric
increased by 2.1% to $3.41 in the second three months of Fiscal 1996 as compared
to $3.34 in the second three months of Fiscal 1995. Gross fabric sales within
the United States increased 16.1% to $35.8 million in the second three months of
Fiscal 1996 from $31.0 million in the second three months of Fiscal 1995.
Foreign and Export sales increased 87.8%, to $9.2 million in the second three
months of Fiscal 1996 from $4.9 million in the second three months of Fiscal
1995. This increase was due to improved demand in the Company's major export
markets. Gross yarn sales increased 12.2% to $7.2 million in the second three
months of Fiscal 1996 from $6.4 million in the same period of Fiscal 1995.

      The gross margin percentage for the second three months of Fiscal 1996
increased to 22.2% as compared to 21.2% for the second three months of Fiscal
1995. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to (1) higher
production levels resulting in improved absorption of fixed manufacturing
overhead expenses and (2) increased operating performance. The increase in gross
profit margin was partially offset by competitive pricing pressures in our
domestic and foreign markets.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $7.3 million for
the second three months of Fiscal 1996 from $6.0 million for the second three
months of Fiscal 1995. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of net sales decreased to 14.3% in the second three months of Fiscal
1996 from 14.6% in the second three months of Fiscal 1995. The increase in
selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increases in
sales commissions and labor and fringe benefits.

     Interest expense was $1.0 million for the second three months of Fiscal
1996, and Fiscal 1995. Lower interest rates on the Company's senior debt
facility was offset by higher levels of debt.

     The effective tax rate was 33.0% for the second three months of Fiscal 1996
as compared to 23.8% for the second three months of Fiscal 1995. The tax rate
was reduced during the second quarter of Fiscal 1995 to adjust the year-to-date
income tax provision because of favorable outcomes of certain state tax issues.
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 second three months of Fiscal 1996 increased to $2.0
million, or $0.24 per share, from $1.3 million, or $0.16 per share, for the
second 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.

     .
Results of Operations - Six-month Comparison

      Net sales for the first half of Fiscal 1996 increased $7.0 million or
8.0%, to $94.3 million from $87.3 million for the first half of Fiscal 1995. The
average gross sales price per yard increased 4.4%, to $4.05 for the first half
of Fiscal 1996 from $3.88 for the first half of Fiscal 1995. This increase was
principally due to an increase in Foreign and Export sales which have a higher
than average selling price. The gross volume of fabric sold increased 3.4%, to
20.9 million yards for the first half of Fiscal 1996 from 20.2 million yards for
the first half of Fiscal 1995. The Company sold 12.3% more yards of middle to
better-end fabrics and 8.5% fewer yards of promotional-end fabrics in the first
half of Fiscal 1996 than in the first half of Fiscal 1995. The average gross
sales price per yard of middle to better-end fabrics increased by 3.0% to $4.42
in the first half of Fiscal 1996 as compared to $4.29 in the first half of
Fiscal 1995. The average gross sales price per yard of promotional-end fabric
increased by 3.0%, to $3.43 in the first half of Fiscal 1996 as compared to
$3.33 in the first half of Fiscal 1995. Gross fabric sales within the United
States were $68.5 million in both the first half of Fiscal 1996 and the first
half of Fiscal 1995. Foreign and Export sales increased 61.3% to $16.0 million
in the first half of Fiscal 1996 from $9.9 million in the first half of Fiscal
1995. Gross yarn sales increased 8.2% to $11.9 million in the first half of
Fiscal 1996 from $11.0 million in the same period of Fiscal 1995.

      The gross margin percentage for the first half of Fiscal 1996 decreased to
21.9% as compared to 23.8% for the first half of Fiscal 1995. The decrease in
the gross margin percentage was due to increased manufacturing costs in Fiscal
1996 as compared to Fiscal 1995 and by competitive pricing pressures in our
domestic and foreign markets.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $13.9 million for
the first half of Fiscal 1996 from $13.1 million for the first half of Fiscal
1995. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales
decreased to 14.8% in the first half of Fiscal 1996 from 15.1% in the first half
of Fiscal 1995. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was
primarily due to increases in sales commissions and labor and fringe benefits.
The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
net sales was due to a reduction in fixed expenses during the period such as
sampling expense and expenses of the Company's Mexican warehouse.

       The effective tax rate decreased to 33.0% for the first half of Fiscal
1996 from 33.5% for the first half of Fiscal 1995. The decrease in the effective
tax rate is due primarily to a reduction in the company's state income tax rate.

     Net income for the first half of Fiscal 1996 decreased to $3.1 million, or
$0.38 per share, from $3.8 million, or $0.46 per share, for the first half 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 June 29, 1996, the Company had $6.6 million outstanding under the
Credit Agreement and unused availability of $42.8 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 half of Fiscal 1995 were $5.5
million. Capital expenditures during the first half of Fiscal 1996 used $6.9
million of cash. Capital expenditures were funded by cash generated from
operations and borrowing under the Credit Agreement. Management anticipates that
capital expenditures will be approximately $13.0 to $16.0 million in Fiscal 1996
and will include the acquisition of additional manufacturing equipment.
