PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
(a) General Development of Business. The general
development of the business of Burke Mills, Inc. ("the Company")
during the fiscal year ended December 30, 1995 was marked by the
efforts of the Company to concentrate on maintaining its existing
products and its existing markets. The Company continued its
efforts to operate as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible
while maintaining product quality.
(b) Financial Information About Industry Segments. The
Company had only one industry segment during the fiscal year ended
December 30, 1995.
(c) Narrative Description of Business. The Company is
engaged in twisting, texturing, winding, dyeing, processing and
selling of filament, novelty and spun yarns and in the dyeing and
processing of these yarns for others on a commission basis.
The principal market served by the Company are upholstery and
industrial uses through the knitting and weaving industry.
The Company's products are sold in highly competitive markets
primarily throughout the United States. Competition in the
Company's products is on the basis of combination of price, service
and product quality. Many of the Company's competitors are
divisions or segments of larger, diversified firms with greater
financial resources than those of the Company.
The methods of distributions of the Company's products consist
of the efforts of the Company's sales force which makes contact
with existing and prospective customers. The Company markets its
products throughout the United States, with the bulk of business
being primarily in the eastern United States, through two salesmen
employed directly by the Company on salary and a number of
commissioned sales agents working on various accounts.
The dollar amount of backlog of unshipped orders as of
December 30, 1995 was $3,377,000 and as of December 31, 1994 was
$3,907,000. Generally, all orders in backlog at the end of a year
are shipped the following year. The backlog has been calculated by
the Company's normal practice of including orders which are
deliverable over various periods and which may be changed or
cancelled in the future.
The most important raw materials used by the Company are
unprocessed raw yarn, dyes and chemicals. The Company believes
that its sources of supply for these materials are adequate for its
needs and that it is not substantially dependent upon any one
supplier.
<PAGE>
With respect to the practices of the Company relating to
working capital items, the Company generally carries enough
inventory for approximately 56 days. On the average, the Company
turns its inventory approximately 6 to 7 times each year. The
Company has been able to meet its delivery schedules and has been
able to enjoy a ready supply of raw materials from suppliers. In
the fiscal year ended December 30, 1995, approximately 11.6% of the
Company's sales was from dyeing and processing of yarn for
customers who supplied the yarn. The Company does not allow
customers the right to return merchandise except where the
merchandise is defective. The Company rarely allows payment terms
to its customers beyond sixty (60) days, and the Company has
experienced no significant problems in collecting its accounts
receivable. The Company believes that industry practices are very
similar to that of the Company in regard to these matters.
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 these
accounts. The Company has the right to borrow from the factor up
to ninety percent (90%) of the face amount of each account sold to
the factor. The Company believes that many companies in the
industry factor their receivables in the same or similar fashion.
Substantially all of the Company's manufacturing operations
are run by electrical energy purchased from local utility companies
and its premises are heated with oil and gas. The Company has not
experienced any shortages in electricity, oil or gas during the
fiscal year. The Company has made no arrangements for alternate
sources of energy. While energy related difficulties are not
expected to prevent the Company from achieving desired production
levels, energy shortages of extended duration could have an adverse
impact on the Company's operations.
The Company has established a recycling program for its major
waste items: yarn, cardboard, plastic tubes and cleaning fluid.
The Company's efforts in recycling earned the 1989 North Carolina
Small Business Recycling Award.
The Company has made various changes in its plant that
regulate the discharge of materials into the environment. The
Company believes it is in compliance with all presently applicable
federal, state and local legislative and administrative regulations
concerning environmental protection; and, although it cannot
predict the effect that future changes in such regulations may
have, particularly as such changes may require capital expenditures
or affect earnings, it does not believe that any competitor subject
to the same or similar regulations will gain any significant and
competitive advantages as a result of any such changes. Compliance
by the Company during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994 with
federal, state and local environmental protection laws had no
material effect on capital expenditures, earnings or the
competitive position of the Company.
<PAGE>
On March 10, 1996, the Company had 308 employees.
The Company's yarn division is its only division.
During the fiscal year ended December 30, 1995, sales to CMI
Industries, Inc. and sales to Collins & Aikman Co. exceeded ten
percent of the Company's revenue for that year. The loss of either
customer would have a material adverse effect on the Company in the
short run; and, the Company believes that it would be able to
replace the business within a reasonable time.
(d) Financial Information About Foreign and Domestic
Operations and Export Sales. The Company had no material amounts
of sales in foreign markets during the last three fiscal years.
The Company had sales to customers in Mexico and Canada during the
last three fiscal years which amounted to less than three percent of
its total sales in each year for each country.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The executive offices and manufacturing plant of the Company
are located at Valdese, North Carolina, which is 75 miles northwest
of Charlotte, North Carolina, and 60 miles east of Asheville, North
Carolina. The main plant and executive offices are located on a
sixteen acre tract of land owned by the Company. Eleven acres of
this tract are encumbered by a first priority lien deed of trust
held by First Union National Bank of North Carolina. The main
plant building used by the Company contains approximately 308,928
square feet. The Company also owns an auxiliary building
containing 36,600 square feet located adjacent to its main plant.
This latter building is currently used for warehousing yarn and as
a distribution center.
The plant buildings are steel and brick structures protected
by automatic sprinkler systems. The various departments, with the
exception of the production dyehouse, are heated, cooled and
humidified.
<PAGE>
The Company considers all its properties and manufacturing
equipment to be in a good state of repair, well maintained and
adequate for its present needs.
The Company utilizes substantially all of the space in its
main plant for its offices, machinery and equipment, storage and
shipping and receiving areas. The Company utilizes about half of
the space in the auxiliary building and plans to utilize all of
this building for warehouse and distribution purposes in the near
future.
The approximate maximum capacity in pounds per year of the
Company's machinery and equipment, based upon operating the
machinery and equipment seven (7) days per week fifty (50) weeks
per year, and the approximate percentage of utilization thereof
during the fiscal year ended December 30, 1995 are as follows:
Pounds/Year 1995
Department Capacity Utilization
Twisting Machines 2,500,000 73%
Winding Machines 20,000,000 58%

Results of Operations
- - ---------------------
1995 Compared to 1994
- - ---------------------
Net Sales
- - ---------
Net Sales for the 1995 year aggregated $34,148,493, representing a
decrease of $2,045,264, or 5.7%, as compared to net sales volume of
$36,193,757 recorded by the Company for 1994. Although net sales dollars
decreased by 5.7%, total pounds shipped decreased by 12.8%. Full yarn sales
made by the Company were almost equivalent in both dollar and pounds shipped
for both 1995 and 1994. Sales from commission yarn sales (the dyeing and
processing of customer owned yarns) decreased both in dollars and pounds
by 33.9% and 41.6%, respectively, in 1995 compared with 1994.
Cost of Sales and Gross Margin
- - ------------------------------
Cost of sales which aggregated $30,666,567 for 1995 only decreased
by $261,536 or 0.8%, as compared to 1994.
In spite of the decline in net sales dollars, material cost only
decreased by 1.4% compared to 1994, inasmuch as full yarn sales for 1995
were almost equivalent in dollars and pounds with the 1994 year.
Labor costs decreased by 0.3% and manufacturing overhead actually
increased by 3.0%, as a result of costs incurred for the time and overhead
spent in absorbing the new technology undertaken by the Company in 1995.
Inasmuch as net sales for 1995, as compared to 1994, decreased by 5.7%,
while cost of sales decreased by only 0.8%, the 1995 gross margin decreased
to 10.2%, as compared to 14.5% recorded in 1994.

Results of Operations (Continued)
- - ---------------------------------
1995 Compared to 1994
- - ---------------------
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for 1995 aggregated
$1,945,951, or 5.7%, of net sales, as compared to $1,597,829, or 4.4%, of
net sales in 1994. The increase resulted primarily from management salaries
and fringe costs, travel costs, professional services, stockholders'
informational data, commissions, and employee benefits.
Factor's Charges
- - ----------------
Factor's charges for 1995 aggregated $177,901, or .52% of net sales as
compared to $235,253, representing .65%, of net sales in 1994. The ratio
of sales made to factored accounts versus nonfactored accounts for 1995
remained approximately the same as 1994. However, the factoring rate paid
to the factor was reduced during 1995.
Operating Margins
- - -----------------
As a result of the discussion above with respect to the 1995 decrease
in net sales and gross profit percentage, together with the increase in the
percentage to net sales of selling, general and administrative expenses,
the Company reported operating earnings of $1,358,074 in 1995, compared to
operating earnings of $3,432,572 in 1994.
Interest Income
- - ---------------
Interest income for 1995 was $67,966 as compared to $84,306 in 1994.
The interest income was primarily interest earned from matured funds held
by the Company's factor and funds held in a money market account with the
Company's bank.
Sundry Other Income
- - -------------------
Sundry other income increased to $12,275 in 1995, as compared to $5,919
in 1994. The increase of $6,356 was primarily due to additional revenue
from scrap parts sales.
Interest Expense
- - ----------------
Interest expense for the year ended December 30, 1995 increased to
$281,752, as compared to $158,669 in 1994. Interest expense for 1995 and
1994 resulted primarily from interest on the Company's long-term debt. The
increase resulted from additional long-term debt incurred to fund the
acquisition of property, plant and equipment which aggregated $6,371,819
in 1995.
<PAGE>
Results of Operations (Continued)
- - ---------------------------------
1995 Compared to 1994
- - ---------------------
Income Before Provision for Income Taxes
- - ----------------------------------------
Income before provision for income taxes for 1995 was $1,156,451, as
compared to $3,375,808 for 1994. The 1995 decrease of $2,219,357 resulted
from the reduction in sales for 1995, coupled with the reduction in gross
profit margin, increased selling, general and administrative expenses and
interest costs.
Provision for Income Taxes
- - --------------------------
Provision for income taxes in 1995 was impacted by an upward adjustment
of the alternative minimum taxes available and by the overaccrual of 1994
income taxes, resulting in a reduction in 1995 income taxes. In 1994, the
income tax provision was reduced as a result of the overaccrual in 1993 of
a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. The following table
represents an analysis of the tax provisions of 1995 and 1994 taxes:
1995 1994
---- ----
Provision for income taxes $446,429 $1,322,200
Less: Overaccrual of 1994
income taxes and adjustment of
alternative minimum taxes
available as a credit 234,219 -
Overaccrual of 1993 valuation
allowance on deferred tax assets - 455,400
-------- ----------
$212,210 $ 866,800
For 1995, the provision for income taxes of $446,429 would represent a
tax provision of 38.6% rather than 18.4%. Earnings per share would be
reduced by $.09 per share to $.26 rather than the $.34 shown in the
statement of income.
For 1994, the provision for income taxes of $1,322,200 would represent
a tax provision of 39.2% rather than the 25.7%.
<PAGE>
Results of Operations
- - ---------------------
1994 Compared to 1993
- - ---------------------
Net Sales
- - ---------
Net Sales for 1994 year aggregated $36,193,757, representing an
increase of $9,359,110, or 34.9%, as compared to net sales volume of
$26,834,647 recorded by the Company for 1993. Although net sales increased
by 34.9%, total pounds shipped increased by only 30.4%. This is explained
below by the increase in sales mix to a greater portion of full yarn sales.
Full yarn sales dollars increased by 37.8% with a corresponding increase in
full yarn pounds of 42.1%. Sales from commission yarn sales (the dyeing and
processing of customer owned yarns) increased by 22.4% while commissions
pounds shipped increased by 10.0%.
The increase in sales to existing customers, to a new customer who
represented 12.9% of the Company's sales and a change in the sales mix to a
greater portion of full yarn sales are the factors responsible for the
increase in 1994 sales over those of 1993.
Cost of Sales and Gross Margin
- - ------------------------------
Cost of sales which aggregated $30,928,103 for 1994 increased by
$6,636,802,or 27.3%.
Material cost increased by $5,294,379, or 38.9%, as compared to 1993.
The major reason material cost increased by 38.9%, while net sales increased
by 34.9%, was a change in sales mix to a greater portion of full yarn sales.
Mill labor increased by $1,063,267, or 18.0%, as compared to 1993. The
major reasons mill labor increased were a 4.8% wage increase that began in
January 1994 and an increase in pounds shipped of 30.4%.
Manufacturing overhead only increased by $279,156, or 5.8%, as compared
to 1993, representing a tight control on fixed and variable manufacturing
costs.
Inasmuch as net sales for 1994, as compared to 1993, increased by 34.9%,
while cost of sales increased 27.3%, the 1994 gross profit margin increased
to 14.5%, as compared to 9.5% in 1993.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for 1994 aggregated
$1,597,829, or 4.4%, of net sales, as compared to $1,378,717, or 5.1%, of
net sales in 1993.

Factor's charges for 1994 aggregated $235,253, or .65% of net sales as
compared to $174,797, representing a like .65%, of net sales in 1993. The
ratio of sales made to factored accounts versus nonfactored accounts for
1994 remained approximately the same as 1993.
Operating Margins
- - -----------------
As a result of the discussion above with respect to the 1994 increase
in net sales and gross profit percentage, together with the decrease in the
percentage to net sales of selling, general and administrative expenses, the
Company reported operating earnings of $3,432,572, compared to operating
earnings of $989,832 in 1993.
Interest Income
- - ---------------
Interest income for 1994 was $84,306 as compared to $51,464 in 1993. The
interest income was primarily interest earned from matured funds held by the
Company's factor and funds held in a money market account with the Company's
bank.
Sundry Other Income
- - -------------------
Sundry other income decreased to $5,919 in 1994, as compared to $23,380
in 1993. The decrease of $17,461 was primarily due to refunds received in
1993 of property taxes for the years 1991 and 1990.
Interest Expense
- - ----------------
Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 1994 decreased to
$158,669, as compared to $179,588 in 1993. Interest expense for 1994 and
1993 resulted from interest on the Company's long-term debt. The reduction
results primarily from the decrease in long-term debt as a result of
required monthly payments. The interest rate on the principal amount of
such debt varies with increases or decreases in the prime rate.

1994 Compared to 1993
- - ---------------------
Gain/Loss on Sale and Disposal of Property Assets
- - -------------------------------------------------
The gain on sale of property assets in 1994 resulted from sale of fully
depreciated property assets. For 1993, the loss on disposal of property
assets of $194,863 resulted from a gain of $1,800 on equipment sold, a loss
of $64,728 on assets abandoned and a loss of $131,935 on assets no longer
in existence determined as a result of a physical inventory of property
assets, In the opinion of management most of the machines which could not
be located in 1993, during the physical inventory of property assets, were
used for replacement of broken or worn-out parts of other machines which
are still in use.
Income Before Provision for Income Taxes
- - ----------------------------------------
Income before provision for income taxes for 1994 was $3,375,808, as
compared to $690,225 for 1993. The 1994 increase of $2,685,583 was the
result of a sharp increase in operating earnings, as discussed above, and a
small gain on sale of property assets compared with an approximate loss of
$195,000 on disposal of property assets in 1993.
Provision for Income Taxes
- - --------------------------
Provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 1994, was
impacted by the 1994 reduction in the valuation allowance on deferred tax
assets provided in the 1993 fiscal year. The following represents an
analysis of the tax provision for the 1994 year:
Federal income taxes $1,057,900

result of the overaccrual of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets
in 1993, the provision for 1994 has been decreased to 25.7%, an amount and
percentage which will not recur in succeeding years.

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. As of December 30, 1995, the Company had $2,808,790
due from its factor, all of which matured on January 26, 1996.
The Company had inventories of $2,869,939 as of December 30, 1995. The
Company's average inventories aggregated approximately $2,943,000 for 1995,
representing approximately 56 days inventory on hand. The Company's
inventories turn approximately 6 to 7 times each year.
The Company's working capital decreased by approximately $400,000 at
December 30, 1995 from that of December 31, 1994, primarily as a result of
property asset acquisitions in excess of long-term borrowings. The working
capital of the Company is deemed adequate for the operational needs of the
Company. The following table sets forth the Company's working capital and
working capital ratios as of the close of the last three years:
1995 1994 1993
---- ---- ----
Working capital $5,469,831 $5,870,156 $4,459,101
Working capital ratio 3.5 to 1 3.0 to 1 2.5 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 December 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994:
December 30, December 31,

The aggregate long-term debt, including current maturities at December
30, 1995, was $5,179,678 compared to $1,810,897 at December 31, 1994. In
order to finance the acquisition of new property, plant and equipment of
$6,371,819 in 1995, the Company incurred new long-term debt of $4,329,337,
as more fully described in Note 7 of Notes to Financial Statements. The
existing long-term debt will be consolidated into a new long-term obligation
in 1996 of up to $6,000,000. Pursuant to an agreement with its bank, the
new obligation will have no principal maturities until February 1998.
Thereafter, principal payments of $62,500 will be payable monthly for 96
consecutive months.
The Company's long-term debt (exclusive of current maturities) to equity
ratios aggregated 40.6% at December 30, 1995, 8.8% at December 31, 1994 and
18.7% at January 1, 1994.
Capital expenditures are expected to aggregate $1,000,000 to $1,500,000
during 1996.
Inflation
- - ---------
In spite of raw material price increases in 1994 and 1995, the Company
does not believe that operations for the periods discussed have been
significantly affected by inflation. Further, the Company's performance in
maintaining control over elements of overhead, in conjuction with the
infusion of state of the art dyeing technology, have enabled it to remain
competitive with its competition.

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting period - The Company's fiscal year is the 52 or 53 period
ending the Saturday nearest to December 31. Fiscal years 1995, 1994 and
1993, ended on December 30, 1995, December 31, 1994 and January 1, 1994,
respectively. The fiscal years ended December 30, 1995, December 31, 1994
and January 1, 1994 all consisted of 52 weeks.

hand, deposits in banks, interest bearing demand matured funds on deposit
with factor, and all highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity of three
months or less when purchased.
Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in,
first-out) or market. Costs elements included in work in process and
finished goods inventories are raw materials, direct labor and manufacturing
overhead. Market is considered to be net realizable value.
Property, plant and equipment - Property, plant and equipment are
stated at cost.
Depreciation and amortization of the property accounts are provided
over the estimated useful lives of the assets. For financial reporting
purposes, depreciation on plant and equipment is provided primarily at
straight-line rates. For income tax purposes, depreciation has been
provided at straight-line rates for all property, plant and equipment
acquired prior to 1981 and the accelerated and modified accelerated cost
recovery system for property assets acquired subsequent to December 31, 1980.
The estimated useful lives used for computing depreciation for financial
reporting purposes are generally:
Buildings and improvements 5 - 45 years
Plant machinery and equipment 5 - 17 years
Office equipment 5 - 10 years
Automotive equipment 3 - 5 years
Earnings per share - Earnings per share are based on the net income
divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the respective periods.
Use of Estimates in Preparing Financial Statements - In preparing
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 30, 1995 AND DECEMBER 31, 1994
NOTE 2 - SEGMENTS OF BUSINESS ENTERPRISE
The Company is engaged in twisting, texturing, winding, dyeing,
processing and selling of filament, novelty and spun yarns and in the
dyeing and processing of these yarns for others on a commission basis.
With respect to its operations, the Company's products and its services
for others on a commission basis, are sold and/or performed for customers
primarily located in the territorial limits of the United States. The
Company did have sales to customers in Mexico during the three fiscal years
ended December 30, 1995, which amounted to 0.5% in 1995 and 2.6% in 1994,
and less than 1% for 1993. Additionally, sales to customers in Canada
in 1995 and 1994 aggregated 1.2% and 1%, respectively. Other than sales to
Mexico and Canada, as discussed above, the Company had no other sales in
foreign markets during the three year period ended December 30, 1995. For
the three year period ended December 30, 1995, the Company has operated
within a single industry segment with classes of similar products. The
principal markets served by the Company are upholstery and industrial uses
through the knitting and weaving industry.
In connection with sales to major customers, two customers' net sales
for 1995 accounted for 10.9% and 10.3%, of net sales respectively. In 1994,
the customer who accounted for the largest sales in 1995, accounted for
12.9% of net sales and one other customer accounted for 10.9%. No customer
accounted for 10% or more than 10% of net sales in 1993. For the purpose of
this determination, sales to groups of companies under common control have
been combined and accounted for as sales to individual companies. The
amounts and percentages of sales to the two customers in 1995 are as follows:
Percentage of
Amount Net Sales

Customer 1 $3,706,000 10.9%

============ ============
Pursuant to a factoring agreement, the Company sells substantial
portions of its accounts receivable to a commercial factor without recourse,
up to maximum credit limits established by the factor for individual
accounts. Amounts invoiced to customers on accounts receivable factored in
excess of the established maximum credit limits are sold to the factor with
recourse in the event of nonpayment by customers.
The Company pays a service charge to its factor to cover credit checking,
assumption of credit risk, record keeping and similar services. In addition,
if the Company takes advances from its factor prior to the average maturity
of the receivables sold (as defined), it is required to pay interest to the
factor on these advances. In connection with such advances from its factor,
the Company incurred interest costs of only $4,590 in 1995 for the four month
period of the advances. The Company incurred no interest costs during the
two previous years, inasmuch as it borrowed no funds from its factor during
those years.
The Company's factor is collateralized by the accounts receivable sold
to the factor. No interest in inventory, other than returned goods, has
been granted to the factor under the factoring contract.
The following represents a summary of advances on receivables received
from the Company's factor prior to the average maturity of the receivables
for the year ended December 30, 1995:
Balance at end of year $ 1,932
Maximum outstanding at any month end 440,902

NOTE 7 - LONG-TERM DEBT (Continued)
(a) Pursuant to a promissory note, loan agreement and security agreement
dated June 27, 1990, the loan payable to the bank is secured by a first lien
deed of trust on all real property and a first lien deed of trust and
security interest on all machinery, equipment, and personal property of
the Company, excluding inventory and accounts receivable. Interest on the
note accrues at the bank's prime rate plus one-half percent. Principal and
interest payments aggregate $58,950 per month.
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 the Company's
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, and
pursuant thereto drew the $900,000 on March 23, 1993. The loan is secured
by a first lien position on the purchase of twisting and texturing equipment
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) In September 1994, and during 1995 and early 1996, the Company
received loan commitments from its bank to consolidate existing loans and
new borrowings into one new note obligation of up to $6,000,000 to finance
the acquisition by the Company of new machinery and equipment and to fund
Letters of Credit issued in connection with such acquisition. Among other
things, 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, a minimum quick ratio, and a maximum debt to tangible net worth
ratio.
Additionally, this new loan will term out and refinance the two existing
term loans discussed under 7(a) and 7(b) above, and, accordingly, all term
obligations are to be consolidated into this one $6,000,000 obligation.
This new loan is to be secured by (1) a first Deed of Trust on the property
and buildings located at the Company's manufacturing sites in North Carolina,
(2) a first lien position on the new equipment and machinery installed at
these manufacturing sites and (3) a first lien position on the existing
machinery and equipment located at the Company's manufacturing sites.

NOTE 7 - LONG-TERM DEBT (Continued)
Under this new loan agreement, interest only shall be payable monthly
until February 1998. Thereafter, principal maturities will be payable in
the amount of $62,500 per month for ninety-six consecutive months plus
interest at the fixed rate of 8.06%. In order to effect this fixed interest
rate, the bank will convert its interest rate cap into a fixed rate loan by
entering into a fixed rate hedge contract with the Company. Under this
fixed rate hedge contract, the Company will pay the bank 8.06% for the term
of the contract. In return, the bank will pay the Company LIBOR plus 2.0%.
The floating rate (LIBOR plus 1.9%) that the Company will pay the bank will
be equal to the floating rate that the bank's capital markets will pay to
the Company. Whether LIBOR rates rise or fall over the life of the loan
agreement, the Company will continue to pay the bank a fixed rate of 8.06%
for the life of the contract, thereby creating a fixed rate loan.
The annual principal maturities of the long-term debt at December 30,

NOTE 9 - 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 recognized based on differences
between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are
measured using the enacted tax rates and laws. Prior to the adoption of
Statement No. 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.
<PAGE>
The Company has not restated prior period financial statements because
the effects of adopting Statement No. 109 on operations and cash flows are
not material. The items which comprise deferred tax assets and liabilities
at December 30, 1995, are as follows:
Deferred Tax Deferred Tax

NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES (Continued)
The provisions for income taxes for the years ended December 30, 1995
and December 31, 1994, were impacted by the 1995 adjustments of alternative
minimum taxes and overaccrual of Federal income taxes, and the 1994 tax
provision was affected by reduction in the valuation allowance on deferred
tax assets provided in the 1993 fiscal year. The following represents an
analysis of the tax provisions for 1995 and 1994:
Year Ended

December 30, December 31,

Provision for income taxes $212,210 $ 866,800
======== ==========
For 1995, the provision for income taxes of $446,429 would represent a tax
provision of 38.6% rather than 18.4%. Earnings per share would be reduced
by $.08 per share to $.26 rather than the $.34 shown in the statement of
income.
For 1994, the provision for income taxes of $1,322,200 would represent a tax
provision of 39.2% rather than 25.7%.

(b) Certain business relationships. No report.
(c) Indebtedness of management.
Humayun N. Shaikh, Chairman of the Company, was indebted to
the Company for a period of time during the Company's last fiscal
year. The largest aggregate amount of indebtedness by Mr. Shaikh
to the Company outstanding at any time since the beginning of the
last fiscal year of the Company was $108,123.00. The nature of the
indebtedness was advances by the Company to Mr. Shaikh to cover
traveling and other expenses. These amounts were advanced against
Mr. Shaikh's accrued salary and expense reimbursement, and through
oversight the total of the advances reached a point in excess of
the accruals due Mr. Shaikh. No interest was charged to Mr.
Shaikh. Mr. Shaikh is not indebted to the Company as of March 15,
1996. Because of the oversight, Mr. Shaikh has determined that he
will not be receiving advances against accrued salary and expenses
from the Company in the future.
(d) Transactions with promoters. No report.

a. For the year ended December 31, 1994, $167,909 of the valuation
allowance was utilized in the realization of the deferred tax assets
provided for the year ended January 1, 1994. Inasmuch as no further
valuation allowance was deemed necessary as of December 31, 1994, $455,400
has been credited to the provision for income taxes for the year ended
December 31, 1994. Accordingly, the Company believes that its deferred tax
assets as of December 31, 1994 will be realized and no valuation allowance
is required as of December 31, 1994.
b. For the year ended January 1, 1994, the Company recorded deferred tax
assets of $1,136,409 representing possible future realization of these
deferred tax assets. In accordance with the provisions of FASB No. 109, a
valuation allowance of $623,309 was deemed adequate for that portion of the
deferred tax assets which might not be probable of realization.
