Item 1. Change in Control of Registrant.

On December 29, 1995,  the Registrant  repurchased  510,424 shares of its common
stock  beneficially  owned  by  Coronet  Insurance  Company  (Coronet)  and  its
affiliates. This represented 57.69% of the total outstanding shares (884,806) of
the Registrant.  After this repurchase,  the Registrant has 374,382 total shares
outstanding.  The largest owner of these  remaining  shares is Mr. J. T. Emerson
who has,  for many  years,  owned a total of 139,712  shares,  now  representing
37.32% of the total outstanding. After this repurchase Coronet continues to hold
26,000 shares of the Registrant representing 6.94% of the total outstanding.

The 510,424  shares were  purchased for a cash payment of $5,460,205 and 400,000
shares  of the  common  stock  of  Alba-Waldensian,  Inc.  (Alba)  owned  by the
Registrant. These 400,000 shares represent 21.5% of the total outstanding shares
of Alba and were all of the Alba shares owned by the Registrant.

Funds for the  $5,460,205  cash payment came from a $4,500,000  ninety-day  loan
from First Union  National Bank and existing  monies of the  Registrant.  Monies
from the sale of equity securities owned by the Registrant will be used to repay
the bank loan.

The related Stock Repurchase  Agreement  provides that for a period of ten years
Coronet  and its  affiliates  will not  acquire  direct or  indirect  beneficial
ownership of any of the  Registrant's  common stock  exceeding 20% of the common
stock  outstanding  at any  time.  During  this ten  year  period,  Coronet  has
appointed  the Board of  Directors  of the Company as its  attorney-in-fact  and
proxy for voting all shares owned by Coronet.

Effective with the consummation of the Stock Repurchase Agreement,  Registrant's
Directors Clyde Wm. Engle, Lee N. Mortenson and James M. Fawcett,  Jr. resigned,
representing three of the Registrant's nine directorships. Mr. Mortenson and Mr.
Engle are affiliated with Coronet and Mr. Fawcett may be deemed to be affiliated
with Mr. Engle. The Registrant's  Board is expected to take action to fill these
three vacant directorships, and it is expected that Mr. Emerson, an associate of
Mr.  Emerson  and David Lutz,  Secretary/Treasurer  of the  Registrant,  will be
appointed  to  fill  these  vacancies  until  the  1996  Annual  Meeting  of the
Registrant's shareholders to be held in November, 1996.

The 510,424  shares  repurchased  were  pledged as  security  for a bank loan to
Coronet.  With the consummation of this repurchase,  this pledge is removed. The
Registrant  is not aware of any pledge by any person of it's common  stock which
may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of the Registrant.
Item 2. Disposition of Assets.

Item 1 of this Form 8-K gives certain information required by Item 2 relating to
an exchange of 400,000 shares of the common stock of Alba-Waldensian, Inc. owned
by the  Registrant  and a cash payment of $5,460,205  for 510,424  shares of the
Registrant's common stock.

The total price to be paid for the 510,424 shares  ($10,346,753)  was determined
by  negotiation  and confirmed by a fairness  opinion of an  investment  banking
firm. The 400,000  shares of Alba were valued and applied  against this price at
$4,886,548,  resulting  in the cash payment of  $5,460,205.  The market value of
Alba  common  stock at December  29,  1995 was $7.625 per share,  with the total
market value of these shares being $3,050,000. In addition, the Stock Repurchase
Agreement  provides for the  possibility  of additional  cash  payments,  not to
exceed a maximum total of  $1,531,272,  payable only out of the  cumulative  net
income  of the  Registrant  above  $400,000  for the six  fiscal  year's  of the
Registrant starting with the 1997 fiscal year which begins June 30, 1996.

The affiliates of Coronet, as identified by the Stock Repurchase Agreement, are:
Wellco  Holdings  Company;   National  Assurance  Indemnity  Company;   Normandy
Insurance Agency; Sunstates Corporation;  Wisconsin Real Estate Investment Fund;
Hickory Furniture  Company;  Telco Capital  Corporation;  RDIS Corporation;  and
Clyde Wm. Engle.

Prior to this exchange, Coronet and its affiliates were the beneficial owners of
60.63% (536,424  shares) of the total  outstanding  stock of the registrant.  In
addition, four of the Registrant's nine Directors (Clyde Wm.

                                       -1-

Engle, Lee N. Mortenson,  James M. Fawcett,  Jr. and William D. Schubert) may be
deemed  to  be  affiliated  with  Coronet  and  its  affiliates  through  equity
ownership,  their  position  as  officers  and/or  directors  of Coronet and its
affiliates or through other relationships.

Item 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

(b) Pro Forma Financial Information:

On December 29, 1995,  the Registrant  repurchased  510,424 shares of its common
stock beneficially owned Coronet Insurance Company (Coronet) and its affiliates.
The 510,424  shares were  purchased for a cash payment of $5,460,205 and 400,000
shares  of the  common  stock  of  Alba-Waldensian,  Inc.  (Alba)  owned  by the
Registrant.  Funds  for the  $5,460,205  cash  payment  came  from a  $4,500,000
ninety-day  loan from  First  Union  National  Bank and  existing  monies of the
Registrant.  Monies from the sale of equity  securities  owned by the Registrant
will be used to repay the bank loan. In addition, the Stock Repurchase Agreement
provides  for the  possibility  of  additional  cash  payments,  not to exceed a
maximum total of  $1,531,272,  payable only out of the  cumulative net income of
the  Registrant  above  $400,000  for the six  fiscal  year's of the  Registrant
starting with the 1997 fiscal year which begins June 30, 1996.

The following pro forma  consolidated  financial  statements are filed with this
Form 8-K:

Consolidated  Balance  Sheet as of September  30, 1995 (page 5 of this Form 8-K-
This statement  reflects the historical amounts and the pro forma adjustments to
reflect the repurchase of the  Registrant's  shares.  Since the ninety-day  loan
will be repaid from the sale of equity  securities,  the pro forma also reflects
the sale of these securities.

Consolidated  Statement  of  Operations  for the Fiscal  Year Ended July 1, 1995
(page 6 of this Form 8-K)- This statement  reflects the  historical  amounts and
the pro forma adjustments  reflecting reduced interest,  dividend and investment
income as if the  purchase  of the  Registrant's  shares  and the sale of equity
securities  had occurred at the  beginning of this fiscal year. It also excludes
the equity in earnings  of  affiliate  (Alba).  The pro forma does not reflect a
nonrecurring charge and credit resulting from the transaction.

Consolidated Statement of Operations for the Fiscal Three Months Ended September
30,  1995 (page 7 of this Form  8-K)- This  statement  reflects  the  historical
amounts and the pro forma adjustments reflecting reduced interest,  dividend and
investment  income  resulting  from  not  having  an  investment  in  marketable
securities.

Excluded  from  the  pro  forma  Consolidated  Statements  of  Operations  is  a
nonrecurring  net  credit,  estimated  to be  $395,000,  after  income  taxes of
$203,000,  that will be be included in the Registrant's Statements of Operations
within the twelve months  succeeding  the  transaction.  This credit will result
from the sale of marketable securities and the exchange of Alba shares for those
of the Registrant.

(b) Exhibits:

Exhibit  10-Material  Contracts:  Attached as Exhibit 10 is the Stock Repurchase
Agreement between the Registrant and The Coronet Group.

</TABLE>

BASIS OF ADJUSTMENTS:
The sale of marketable  securities  to pay for the purchase of the  Registrant's
common stock will reduce its funds available for earning interest, dividends and
investment income. In addition,  the registrant will not be recording its equity
in the earnings and profits of its affiliate  whose common shares were exchanged
as part of the total  consideration for the Registrant's  common stock. This pro
forma  assumes that the reduced  available  funds  occurred at the start of this
fiscal year and that its  investment in affiliate did not exist during the year.
The pro forma does not reflect a nonrecurring  charge and credit  resulting from
the transaction.
(A) Lower income from interest, dividends and investments.
(B)  Imputed  interest on note payable  arising from increase in purchase price,
     based on estimated future profits.
(C) Assumes investment in affiliate did not exist.
(D) Lower tax provision on lower income.

BASIS OF ADJUSTMENTS:
The sale of marketable  securities  to pay for the purchase of the  Registrant's
common stock will reduce its funds available for earning interest, dividends and
investment income. In addition,  the registrant will not be recording its equity
in the earnings and profits  (losses) of its affiliate  whose common shares were
exchanged as part of the total  consideration for the Registrant's common stock.
This pro forma assumes that the reduced available funds occurred at the start of
this period and that its investment in affiliate did not exist during the fiscal
period.

(A)  Lower income from interest, dividends and investments.
(B)  Imputed  interest on note payable  arising from increase in purchase price,
     based on estimated future profits.
(C)  Assumes investment in affiliate did not exist.
(D)  Lower tax provision on lower income.
