Report of Independent Public Accountants



To the Board of Directors of
Kayser-Roth Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for
sale of the Balfour Healthcare Products Division (the Division) of
Kayser-Roth Corporation (a Delaware corporation) (the Company) as of
December 31, 1994, and January 28, 1994, and the related statements
of revenues and selected expenses for the period from January 29,
1994, to December 31, 1994, and for each of the two fiscal years in
the period ended January 28, 1994.  These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying statements of assets available for sale and the
statements of revenues and selected expenses have been prepared
pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated March 6,1995, between
Kayser-Roth Corporation and Alba-Waldensian, Inc. as discussed in
Note 2 and are not intended to be a complete presentation of the
assets, liabilities, revenues or expenses of Kayser-Roth Corporation.

In our opinion, the statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the assets of the Balfour Healthcare Products
Division of Kayser-Roth Corporation available for sale and the
related revenues and selected expenses pursuant to the Asset Purchase
Agreement dated March 6, 1995, on the basis of accounting as
described in Note 3 to the financial statements.

                          (in thousands)



1. Organization and Description of Business:

Kayser-Roth Corporation (Kayser-Roth -- or the Company) was
incorporated in Delaware in August 1985 and was subsequently
acquired by Collins & Aikman Group, Inc. (Group or Seller) on
August 1, 1985.  The Company manufactures and markets a complete
line of brand name and private label men's and women's hosiery
and hosiery-related products.  The Balfour Healthcare Products
Division (the Division) manufactures apparel products for the
health care industry such as footies, cuffs, cloth gloves, joint
pads for patients, etc. in the Company's Rockwood, Tennessee
manufacturing facility.  The Division's products are sold
primarily to medical supply companies.



Acquisition of Kayser-Roth

On January 28, 1994, Legwear Acquisition Corporation (Legwear) (a
wholly owned subsidiary of Legwear Holdings Corporation
(Holdings)), acquired 100% of the common stock of Kayser-Roth. 
The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting.  Accordingly, the aggregate purchase price was
allocated based on the estimated fair value of assets acquired
and liabilities assumed.  As part of the purchase allocation,
property, plant and equipment of the Division was recorded at
fair value, which resulted in a step-up of approximately $1,450.



2. Asset Purchase Agreement:

On March 6,1995, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement
(the Agreement) whereby the operating assets of the Division and the
manufacturing facility were sold to Alba-Waldensian, Inc. (the
Buyer) for $14,956.  The accompanying statements of assets available
for sale and statements of revenues and selected expenses have been
prepared pursuant to the Agreement and include only those assets
purchased and liabilities assumed related to the Division, and the
manufacturing facility.  Significant excluded assets under the
Agreement include cash, inventory and equipment related to the
Company's sock manufacturing operation, certain computer hardware and
software and intellectual property.  Substantially all related
liabilities will not be assumed by the Buyer, including accounts
payable, accrued expenses and debt.  The only significant assumed
liability is an obligation under an equipment lease (Notes 12 and
13).

The Agreement provides that the Buyer's indemnification claims
must exceed $250, subject to certain limitations, before they may
be asserted against the Company.  The Company's maximum
indemnification obligation is limited to $7,075.

 3. Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the
basis of accounting as specified in the Agreement and include
only those assets of the Division and the related manufacturing
facility, that were purchased by the Buyer pursuant to the terms
of the Agreement.  The statements of assets available for sale as
of January 28, 1994, and related statements of revenues and
selected expenses for each of the two fiscal years in the period
ended January 28,1994, are presented on the historical
predecessor company basis.  The statement of assets available for
sale as of December 31, 1994, and the statement of revenues and
selected expenses for the period from January 29, 1994, to
December 31, 1994, are presented on the historical successor
company basis which reflects the purchase accounting adjustments
resulting from the acquisition of Kayser-Roth on January 28, 1994
(see Note 1).

The accompanying statements of revenues and selected expenses
represent those revenues and direct expenses of the Division,
prior to the allocation of corporate-level interest and taxes.



4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Fiscal Year

Through January 28, 1994, the Division's fiscal year ended on the
last Saturday in January.  Fiscal 1993 reflects a 52-week year
which ended on January 28, 1994.  Following the acquisition, the
Company adopted a fiscal year ending on the last Saturday in
December.  As such, fiscal 1994 reflects a 48-week period which
ended on December 31, 1994.



Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or
market and include the costs of raw materials, direct labor and manufacturing
overhead.  Allowances are established to reduce the cost of excess and
obsolete inventories to their estimated net realizable value.



Supplies Inventories

Supplies inventories consist primarily of repair parts and expendable
operating supplies and are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable
value.



Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at predecessor basis
historical cost at January 28, 1994, and at successor basis
historical cost at December 31, 1994, which reflects the fair value
adjustments resulting from the acquisition of Kayser-Roth. 
Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method for financial
reporting purposes over estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 40
years.

 5. Revenue Recognition and Concentration of Credit Risk:

The Division recognizes revenue upon the shipment of products to its
customers.

The Company provides credit services for the Division.  Substantially
all of the Division's accounts receivable are concentrated in the
health care industry.  In the normal course of business, the Company
extends credit, on open accounts, to its customers after a credit
analysis based on a number of financial and other criteria.  The
Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers'
financial conditions, but generally does not require collateral. 
Allowances are maintained for potential credit losses, and such
losses have been within management's expectations.

The Division has three significant customers whose net sales and
accounts receivable are 47%, 53% and 56%, and 34%, 35% and 40%,
respectively, of the Division's totals for periods ending December 31,
1994, January 28, 1994, and January 30, 1993, respectively.

Under the Agreement, the Buyer may require the Company to repurchase at
face value uncollected accounts receivable after 120 days following the
closing date.



6. Inventories:

Inventories consisted of the following at December 31, 1994, and January
28, 1994:

                                              =====            =====

and equipment used by the Division.



8. Commitments and Contingencies:

Litigation

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising
in the ordinary course of business.  In management's opinion, the
outcome of the aforementioned matters is not likely to have a
material adverse effect on the Division's financial position or
results of operations.



Environmental Matters

The Division's operations are subject to environmental regulation in
the jurisdiction in which it operates.  The Company believes that the
Division's operations currently comply in all material respects with
the current requirements of environmental laws and regulations.

 9. Employee Benefit Plans:

Pension Plan

The Company has a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially
all employees who meet certain eligibility requirements, including
the employees of the Division.  This liability was not assumed by the
Buyer. Plan benefits are based primarily on years of service and
employee's compensation.  Funding of retirement costs for the plan
complies with the minimum funding requirements specified by the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act.  Estimated expenses of the
plan related to the Division and included in the accompanying
statements of revenues and selected expenses, amounted to $60, $75
and $67 for the periods ended December 31, 1994, January 28,1994, and
January 30,1993, respectively.



Defined Contribution Plan

The Company sponsors a defined contribution plan covering employees
who meet certain eligibility requirements.  Company contributions are
based on a formula as specified in the plan agreement.  This
liability was not assumed by the Buyer.  Estimated Company
contributions for the Division related to this plan and included in
the accompanying statements of revenues and selected expenses were
$8, $10 and $8 for the periods ending December 31, 1994, January 28,
1994, and January 30,1993, respectively.



10. Allocated Expenses:

Corporate general and administrative expenses are allocated to the
Division based on plant production and labor dollars and are included
in cost of sales.  Interest and taxes are not includeded in the
corporate allocation.


11. Selling and Distribution Expenses:

Selling and distribution expenses consist primarily of direct payroll
and other costs incurred by the Division and do not include any
allocations from the Company.


12. Lease Commitments:

The Company is obligated under an operating lease on behalf of the
Division for certain knitting equipment used by the Division.  The lease
commenced in May 1993 for a term of 60 months and was assumed in the
Agreement.  The future minimum lease payments at December 31, 1994, are
as follows:



               1995            $100
               1996             100
               1997             100
               1998              33

expenses amounted to $91, $75 and $0 for the periods ended December 31,
1994, January 28, 1994, and January 30, 1993, respectively.

28,1994, accrual requirements related to the liabilities to be assumed
were not significant.

$14,956,000, subject to certain post closing adjustments.  Alba
financed the acquisition from borrowings under its credit facility.  

The acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase, with net assets
acquired recorded at estimated fair values, and the results of the
Division's operations included in the Company's consolidated
financial statements from the date of acquisition.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements
illustrate the effect of the acquisition ("Pro Forma") on the Company's 
financial position and results of operations.  The condensed
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1994, is based on the
historical balance sheets of the Company and the Division as of that
date and assumes the acquisition took place on that date.  The
condensed consolidated statement of income for the year ended
December 31, 1994, of the Company is based on the historical statement
of income for that period.  The condensed consolidated statement of
income for Division is based on the historical statement of income
for the twelve month period ended January  28, 1995. The pro forma
condensed consolidated statement of income assumes the acquisition
took place at the beginning of the period.

The pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be
read in connection with the historical financial statements of the
Company and the Division.
