                   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 April 1, 2000 and January 1, 2000 and the
results of their operations and cash flows for the three months ended April 1,
2000 and April 3, 1999. 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 accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States 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. Operating results
for the three months ended April 1, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the
results expected for the full fiscal year or any future period. 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
January 1, 2000. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year
financial statements for consistent presentation with the current year.

EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

     Basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For
diluted income per share, the denominator also includes dilutive outstanding
stock options determined using the treasury stock method. The following table
reconciles weighted average common shares outstanding to weighted average common
shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares.

NOTE 3 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

     The Company's "Other Comprehensive Items" consist of foreign currency
translation gains or losses. Foreign currency translation gains were $61,000 and
$64,000 at April 1, 2000 and April 3, 1999, respectively. During the first
quarters of 2000 and 1999, the Company's comprehensive income (loss) was
$2,283,000 and $(318,000), respectively.

NOTE 4 - SEGMENT REPORTING

     Segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate
financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by the chief
operating decision-maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing
performance. The Company operates as a single business segment consisting of
sales of two products, upholstery fabric and yarn.

     The accounting policies of segment reporting are the same as those
described in Note 9 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the
Company's "1999 Annual Report." Management evaluates the Company's financial
performance in the aggregate and allocates the Company's resources without
distinguishing between yarn and fabric products.

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 1999" ended January 1, 2000 and "Fiscal 2000" will
end December 30, 2000. The first three months of Fiscal 1999 and Fiscal 2000
ended April 3, 1999 and April 1, 2000, respectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Net sales for the first three months of Fiscal 2000 increased $18.9 million
or 33.7%, to $75.0 million from $56.1 million for the first three months of
Fiscal 1999. The average gross sales price per yard increased 8.9%, to $5.12 for
the first three months of Fiscal 2000 from $4.70 for the first three months of
Fiscal 1999. This increase was principally due to an increase in the average
selling price of middle to better-end fabrics. The gross volume of fabric sold
increased 21.0%, to 13.6 million yards for the first three months of Fiscal 2000
from 11.2 million yards for the first three months of Fiscal 1999. The Company
sold 29.6% more yards of middle to better-end fabrics and 0.6% fewer yards of
promotional-end fabrics in the first three months of Fiscal 2000 than in the
first three months of Fiscal 1999. The average gross sales price per yard of
middle to better-end fabrics increased by 7.5%, to $5.60 in the first three
months of Fiscal 2000 as compared to $5.21 in the first three months of Fiscal
1999. The average gross sales price per yard of promotional-end fabrics
increased by 4.1%, to $3.59 in the first three months of Fiscal 2000 as compared
to $3.45 in the first three months of Fiscal 1999.

     Gross fabric sales within the United States increased 38.3%, to $60.2
million in the first three months of Fiscal 2000 from $43.5 million in the first
three months of Fiscal 1999. Foreign and Export sales remained constant at $9.3
million in the first three months of Fiscal 2000 and Fiscal 1999. Gross yarn
sales increased 44.3%, to $6.5 million in the first three months of Fiscal 2000
from $4.5 million in the same period of Fiscal 1999.

     The gross margin percentage for the first three months of Fiscal 2000
increased to 21.9%, as compared to 18.4% for the first three months of Fiscal
1999. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to 1.) lower per
unit fixed overhead expenses caused by higher sales volume, and 2.) higher sales
volume of middle to better-end fabrics and yarn, both of which have higher than
average selling prices.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $11.7 million for
the first three months of Fiscal 2000 from $9.7 million for the first three
months of Fiscal 1999. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of net sales decreased to 15.6% in the first three months of Fiscal
2000 from 17.2% in the first three months of Fiscal 1999. The increase in
selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the increase
in sales volume during the quarter and an increase in fabric sampling expenses,
while the decrease as a percentage of net sales is attributable to the
allocation of fixed costs over a higher sales base.

     Interest expense was $1.3 million for the first three months of Fiscal 2000
and Fiscal 1999. Higher average levels of senior debt were offset by lower
capital lease obligations which have higher rates of interest.

     In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States, the Company provides for income taxes on an interim basis, using the
estimated annual effective income tax rate. The Company's estimated tax rate was
35.0% for the first three months of both Fiscal 2000 and Fiscal 1999. The
effective income tax rate is lower than the combined federal and state statutory
rates due primarily to the foreign sales corporation tax benefits and state
investment tax credits.

     Net income for the first three months of Fiscal 2000 increased to $2.2
million, or $0.14 per common share-diluted, from a loss of $382,000, or ($0.02)
per common share-diluted, for the first three months of Fiscal 1999. 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 January 1, 2000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company historically has financed its operations and capital
requirements through a combination of internally generated funds, borrowings
under the Credit Agreement, and debt and equity offerings. The Company's capital
requirements have arisen principally in connection with the purchase of
equipment to expand production capacity and improve the Company's quality and
productivity performance and with an increase in the Company's working capital
needs related to its sales growth.

     Capital expenditures in the first three months of Fiscal 1999 and Fiscal
2000 were $4.7 million and $3.5 million, respectively. Capital expenditures were
funded by operating cash flow and borrowings. Management anticipates that
capital expenditures will total approximately $14.5 million in 2000, including
approximately $8.0 million for new production equipment to expand finishing
capacity and support the Company's marketing, productivity, quality, service and
financial performance objectives. Management believes that operating income and
borrowing under the Credit Agreement will provide sufficient funding for the
Company's capital expenditures and working capital needs for the foreseeable
future.

     The Company has outstanding $45.0 million of Senior Notes due October 2005
and 2007 (the "Senior Notes"). The Senior Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of
7.09% on $15.0 million and 7.18% on $30.0 million. Annual principal payments
begin on October 10, 2003 with a final payment due October 10, 2007. For a
discussion of the "Senior Notes," see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements included in the Company's Annual Report 10-K for the year ended
January 1, 2000.

     The Company has a $70.0 million Credit Agreement with two banks which
expires December 31, 2002. As of April 1, 2000, the Company had $16.2 million
outstanding under the Credit Agreement and unused availability of $53.8 million.
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 January 1, 2000.

YEAR 2000

     Because many existing computer programs use only the last two, rather than
all four, digits to specify a year, there was widespread concern prior to
January 1, 2000 that date sensitive programs would only recognize "00" as
signifying the year 1900 and, therefore, not recognize the year 2000. This
concern was commonly referred to as the "Year 2000" or "Y2K" issue.

     The Company believes that it has been successful in its efforts to address
the Year 2000 issue and will, therefore, not suffer any material adverse effect
on its operations or financial condition due to the Y2K problem. In addition,
the Company has developed a contingency plan designed to minimize risks
associated with failure of critical systems after December 31, 1999.
