NOTE 6 - LONG-TERM DEBT (Continued)

	The loan agreement, as amended, contains various restrictive
covenants, as defined, which include among other things, maintenance of a
minimum tangible net worth, a minimum quick ratio, a maximum debt to tangible
net worth ratio, a restriction on fixed asset additions above a stated amount
annually, and a restriction on the retirement or acquisition of outstanding
capital stock.

	(b)  On June 26, 1992, the Company received a loan commitment and
agreement from First Union National Bank for a term loan of $900,000 which
was drawn by the Company in March 1993.  The loan is secured by a first lien
position on twisting and texturing equipment purchased and a second lien
position on existing machinery and equipment, plus all additions and
accessions now owned by borrower or hereafter acquired and all proceeds of
the foregoing.  Interest on this loan accrues and is payable at the bank's
prime rate plus one-half percent, with the rate of interest to be subject to
an absolute interest cap of 10.88% per annum until final maturity of the
note. Principal and interest payments aggregate $18,900, per month.

        (c)  Effective September 1, 1994, the Company received a loan
commitment from its bank for an additional loan of $5,000,000 to finance the
acquisition by the Company of new machinery and equipment and to fund Letters
of Credit issued in connection with such acquisition.  The new loan is to be
collateralized by a first lien position on the new machinery and equipment to
be purchased with the loan and a third lien position on all of the Company's
existing machinery and equipment, plus all additions, accessions and all
proceeds thereof owned or hereafter acquired, and a second Deed of Trust on
the Company's property.  Interest on the loan accrues and is payable at the
prime rate of the bank.  Pursuant to the loan agreement, promissory note and
security agreement, all covenants contained in loan agreements under
Note 6(a) and 6(b) above remain in effect except as modified in this new loan
agreement.  Covenants include a debt service coverage ratio, a limit on
annual property asset acquisitions exclusive of property to be acquired with
the loan proceeds under this new loan agreement, the retirement or
acquisition of the Company's capital stock in excess of a stated amount, the
maintenance of a minimum tangible net worth which shall increase by a stated
amount annually.  Interest only on this obligation is payable until September
5, 1995.  The Company and the bank have agreed that all three loan
obligations are to be consolidated into one new note obligation which will be
payable in level monthly installments based on a seven year repayment
schedule, including interest over a five year period beginning in the fourth
quarter of 1995, and a final balloon payment at the end of the five year
period.

NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES

      Effective January 3, 1993, the Company changed its method of accounting
for income taxes from the deferred method to the liability method required by
FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".  Under this method,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences
between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are
measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the
differences are expected to reverse.  Prior to the adoption of Statement 109,
income tax expense was determined using the deferred method.  Deferred tax
expense was based on items of income and expense that were reported in
different years in the financial statements and tax returns and were measured
at the tax rate in effect in the year the differences originated.

      The items which comprise deferred tax assets and liabilities are as
follows:

                                             Deferred Tax     Deferred Tax
                                                Assets        Liabilities

  Pursuant to the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the amount of the investment tax
credit carryforward available as a credit against income tax is reduced by
35% of such carryforward tax credits used.

NOTE 8 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

  The Company is a participating employer in the Burke Mills, Inc. Savings
and Retirement Plan and Trust which is qualified under Section 401(k) of the
Internal Revenue Code.  This plan allows eligible employees to contribute a
salary reduction amount of not less than 1% nor greater than 25% of the
employee's salary.  The salary reduction percentage must equal an increment
of 1%.  The employer may make a matching contribution for each employee out
of current net profits or accumulated net profits (as defined), in an amount
the employer may from time to time deem advisable.  The Company has made
provision in the accompanying financial statements for matching contributions
of $94,207 and $150,769 for the twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 1995 and July
2, 1994, respectively.

NOTE 9 - CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

  Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
concentration of credit risk consist principally of occasional temporary cash
investments, matured funds on deposit with the Company's factor and amounts
due from the factor on receivables sold to the factor on a non-recourse
basis.  The receivables sold to the factor during a month generally have a
maturity date on the 25th to the 30th of the following month, at which time
the amount due to the Company by the factor is transferred to matured funds
on deposit with factor.  From time to time, the Company places its temporary
cash investments with its bank in short-term certificates.  In addition to
its matured funds of $642,577 as of July 1, 1995, the Company had $3,836,916
due from its factor which matured in July 1995 and was transferred to matured
funds status.  The Company utilizes its matured funds on a continuous basis
to replenish its cash in bank for the payment of materials, labor and
overhead, since the Company does not borrow funds for working capital
purposes.

	Net sales for the thirteen weeks ended July 1, 1995, (the second
fiscal quarter), were $8,585,745, representing a 5.4% decrease compared to
the second quarter 1994 sales of $9,075,296.  Pounds shipped for the second
fiscal quarter of 1995 decreased by 15.7%.  Full yarn pounds shipped
decreased by 2.7%, while commission yarn (the dyeing and processing of
customer owned yarns) pounds shipped decreased by 43.9%.  The decrease in
sales resulted from continued softness in demand in the home and automotive
upholstery segments of the Company's business.

1995 Compared to 1994
---------------------

Cost of Sales and Gross Margin
------------------------------

    Cost of sales for the second quarter of 1994 decreased by $291,365, or
3.8%, as compared to the second  quarter of 1994.

    Material cost decreased by $120,854, or 2.6%, as compared to the second
quarter of 1994.  The primary reason for the decrease in material cost was a
decrease in both full yarn and commission yarn pounds shipped as discussed
above.

    Manufacturing labor decreased by $216,996, or 12.2%, as compared to the
second quarter of 1994.  Although the Company granted an average wage
increase of 2 1/2 to 3% on January 2, 1995, the Company was able to control
its labor costs by increased labor efficiency, reduced reworks and a better
balance of production flow.

    Manufacturing overhead increased by $46,485.  In spite of increases in
employee benefits of $54,886 and in fixed expenses of $12,881 (primarily
depreciation), the Company was able to reduce controllable manufacturing
overhead so as to keep the increase in manufacturing overhead to 3.4%.

    Gross margin for the second fiscal quarter of 1995 aggregated $1,097,945
as compared to $1,296,131, for the comparable quarter of 1994, representing
a decrease of $198,186.  This decrease resulted from the reduction in sales
volume of $489,551 for the 1995 second quarter period compared to the like
period of 1994, but with a reduction in cost of sales of only $291,365.  As
a result the gross profit percentage for the thirteen week period ended July
1, 1995 was 12.8% compared to 14.3% for the similar period of 1994.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
--------------------------------------------

    Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of
1995 increased by $85,312 compared to the 1994 second quarter.  Selling,
general and administrative expenses represented 5.0% of net sales compared to
3.8% in 1994.  The increase in these category of expenses were primarily
increases in salaries, fringe benefit costs, shareholders' informational
reports and professional fees.

Factor's Charges
----------------

    Factor's charges for the second quarter of 1995 decreased by $22,002, or
37.1%, as compared to the second quarter of 1994.  The decrease resulted from
a change in the rate paid to the Company's factor effective with the second
fiscal quarter of 1995 and to the reduction in sales volume.  The ratio of
factored accounts versus nonfactored  accounts for the second quarter of
1995, as compared to the similar quarter of 1994, remained approximately the
same.

1995 Compared to 1994
---------------------

Interest Expense
----------------

   Interest expense for the second quarter of 1995 increased by $12,036, as
compared to 1994 primarily as a result of the Company's increase in long-term
debt.  Interest expense for 1995 and 1994 resulted only from interest on the
Company's long-term debt.

Interest Income
---------------

   Interest income for the second quarter of 1995 increased by $4,740 or
23.3%, as compared to the second quarter of 1993.  The increase was due to a
higher average balance invested with the Company's factor and from the
increases in the prime rate in 1995 compared with the 1994 period.

Income Before Provision for Income Taxes
----------------------------------------

   For the thirteen week period ended July 1, 1995, income before provision
for income taxes decreased by $276,704, or 31.3%, as compared to the similar
period of 1994.

  The decrease was primarily due to a 5.4% decrease in sales volume, together
with a decreased gross profit percentage to 12.8% in the 1995 period compared
to 14.3% in the like period of 1994, and to increases in net operating
expenses.

Provision for Income Taxes
--------------------------

  Provision for income taxes for the period ended July 2, 1994, was
materially impacted by the 1994 reduction in the valuation allowance on
deferred tax assets provided in the prior fiscal year.  The following
represents a summary of the provision for taxes for the thirteen weeks ended
July 1, 1995 and July 2, 1994:

               COMPARED TO TWENTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED JULY 2, 1994


Net Sales
---------

   Net sales for the twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 1995, increased by
$268,184, or 1.5%, to an aggregate of $18,130,716 compared to $17,862,532 for
the like 1994 period. Total pounds shipped for the 1995 period decreased by
7.3%.  Full yarn pounds shipped increased by 2.1%, while commission yarn
(the dyeing and processing of customer owned yarns) pounds shipped decreased
by 27.4%.

Cost of Sales and Gross Margin
------------------------------

   Cost of sales for the twenty-six weeks of 1995 increased by $500,578, or
3.3%, as compared to the similar period of 1994.

   Material cost increased by $342,253, or 3.7%, as compared to the like 1994
period.  The primary reasons for the increase in material cost were an
increase in full yarn pounds shipped and to a continuation of increasing
prices for material and packaging supplies.

   Manufacturing labor cost decreased by $127,051, representing a decrease of
3.7% as compared to the like period of 1994.  This decrease occurred in spite
of a wage increase of approximately 2 1/2% to 3% granted January 2, 1995, as
a result of management's control of labor costs by increased labor
efficiency, reduced reworks and a better balance of production flow.

   Manufacturing overhead increased by only $285,376, or 10.4%, primarily as
a result of increases in payroll taxes, workmen's compensation, employee
insurance costs, repairs and maintenance and depreciation.

   Gross margin for the twenty-six weeks period ended July 1, 1995 was
$2,278,685, as compared to $2,511,079 for the similar period of 1994, a
decrease of $232,394, or 9.3%.  The decrease was the result of an increase in
sales volume of 1.5%, with a corresponding increase in cost of sales of 3.3%.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
--------------------------------------------

   Selling, general and administrative expenses for the twenty-six weeks
ended July 1, 1995 increased by $176,477 compared to the similar period of
1994.  These categories of expenses represented 4.9% of net sales compared to
4.0% in the like period of 1994.  The increases in this category of expenses
were primarily in salaries and fringe benefit costs, shareholders'
informational reports and professional fees.

Factor's charges
----------------

   Factor's charges for the twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 1995 decreased by
$19,985, or 17.6%, as compared to the similar period of 1994.  The decrease
resulted from a change in the rate paid to Company's factor effective with
the beginning of the second fiscal quarter of 1995.

Interest Expense
----------------

   Interest expense for the twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 1995 aggregated
$96,618 compared to $80,375 for the like period of 1994.  The increase in
interest costs in 1995 has resulted from the increase in long-term debt
incurred for the purpose of the acquisition of new machinery and equipment.

Interest Income
---------------

   Interest income for the twenty-six week period of 1995 increased by
$15,345, or 42.9%, as compared to 1994.  The increase was due to a higher
average balance invested with the Company's factor and an increase in the
prime rate as compared to the 1994 period.

Income Before Provision for Income Taxes
----------------------------------------

   For the twenty-six week period ended July 1, 1995, income before provision
for income taxes decreased by $395,762, as compared to the similar period of
1994.  The decrease was primarily due to a small 1.5% increase in sales
volume, a decrease in gross profit percentage to 12.6% in the 1995 period
compared to 14.1% in the like period of 1994 and to increases in selling,
general and administrative expenses.

Provision for Income Taxes
--------------------------

   Provision for income taxes for the six month period ended July 2, 1994,
was impacted by the 1994 reduction in the valuation allowance on deferred
tax assets provided in the prior fiscal year.  The following represents an
analysis of the tax provision for the twenty-six week period ended July 1,
1995 and July 2, 1994:

   Federal income taxes                  $427,142        $555,900

Subsequent Matters
------------------

   Currently the outlook through the end of the third quarter remains
relatively weak.  The Company anticipates demand in key market segments to
remain below 1994 levels through much of the third quarter.  However, the
fourth quarter has the potential for improving demand as the Company's new
dyeing technology comes on stream.

                              (Continued)



Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

   The Company sells a substantial portion of its accounts receivable to a
commercial factor so that the factor assumes the credit risk for these
accounts and effects the collection of the receivables.  The Company has the
right to borrow from the factor up to 90% of the face amount of each account
sold to the factor, but the Company has not borrowed any funds from its
factor during the three year period ended December 31, 1994, and the fiscal
six month period ended July 1, 1995.  As of July 1, 1995, the Company had
$4,479,493 due from its factor, of which amount $642,577 was in matured funds
held by the factor, and a net amount of $3,836,916 consisted of amounts due
from the factor on the regular factoring account with a maturity date in July
1995.

   The Company's working capital at July 1, 1995 aggregated $5,227,308
representing a working capital ratio of 2.7 to 1 compared with a working
capital of $5,870,156 at December 31, 1994 and a working capital ratio of
3.0 to 1.

   As a measure of current liquidity, the Company's quick position (cash,
cash equivalents and receivables over current liabilities) discloses the
following at July 1, 1995.

Cash, cash equivalents and receivables...................... $4,850,904
Current liabilities.........................................  3,008,599
                                                             ----------
Excess of quick assets over current liabilities............. $1,842,305
                                                             ==========

   The Company believes that its cash, cash equivalents and receivables plus
internally generated funds and its credit arrangements will be sufficient to
finance its operations for the next 12 months.

   The Company has acquired $5,437,291 of capital property assets during the
fiscal six month period ended July 1, 1995 and has drawn from its bank
$4,078,484 (including $148,380 drawn in 1994) against a $5,000,000 loan
commitment from its bank.  The balance between acquisitions of property
