NOTE 7 - LONG-TERM DEBT
In September 1994, and during 1995 and early 1996, the Company received
loan commitments from its bank to consolidate two 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, and accordingly, all term obligations are to be
consolidated into this one $6,000,00 obligation. This new loan is to
be secured by (1) a first Deed of Trust on 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.
Under the new loan agreement, interest only will 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%. This 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 June 29, 1996 are
as follows:
Current portion $ -
1997/1998 $ 312,500
1998/1999 750,000
1999/2000 750,000

NOTE 8- 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 at
June 29, 1996, are as follows:
Deferred Tax Deferred Tax
Assets Liabilities

Tax loss carry-forward $284,100

NOTE 9 - 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 for the twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 1995. There was no
provision made for matching contributions in the period ended June 29,
1996.
NOTE 10 - 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 $ 58 as of June 29, 1996, the Company had $ 3,666,620 due from
its factor which matured in July 1996 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.
NOTE 11 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share are based on the net income divided by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended June 29, 1996 and July 1,
1995.

Net Sales
- ---------
Net sales for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 1996, (the second
fiscal quarter), were $ 10,304,285 , representing a 20.0 % increase
compared to the second quarter 1995 sales of $ 8,585,745. Pounds
shipped for the second fiscal quarter of 1996 increased by 24.5 %.
Full yarn pounds shipped increased by 37.7 %, while commission yarn
(the dyeing and processing of customer owned yarns) pounds shipped
decreased by 13.6 %. The increase in revenues resulted from an
increase in pounds of 24.5 % compared to the second quarter 1995,
increased yarn costs, and the continued increase in full yarn sales
versus commission dyeing.

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)
Results of Operations (Continued)
- ---------------------
1996 Compared to 1995
- ---------------------
Cost of Sales and Gross Margin
- ------------------------------
Cost of sales for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 1996 increased
by 27.1 % with a corresponding sales increase of only 20.0 %. The
resulting impact on gross margins was to decline to 7.6 % compared to
12.8 % for the second quarter of 1995. Key factors contributing to
the lower margins were the changes in the product mix, increased
operating costs, above normal rework costs and increased raw
material costs.
The company has experienced over the past several quarters an
increased demand for dyed set polyester and a decreased demand for
dyed spun products. This shift toward increased set polyester is
primarily due to the continued cost pressures in the automotive and
home upholstery sectors of the weaving industry. Set polyester is a
commodity product and therefore dictates lower selling prices and
lower margins.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
- --------------------------------------------
Selling, general, administrative and factoring expenses for the
second quarter of 1996 increased by $ 155,367 compared to the 1995
second quarter. Selling, general and administrative expenses
represented 5.4 % of net sales compared to 5.0% in 1995. 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 1996 increased by
$10,402, or 27.8 %, as compared to the second quarter of 1995.
The increase resulted from the increased sales volume. The ratio
of factored accounts versus nonfactored accounts for the second
quarter of 1996, as compared to the similar quarter of 1995,
remained approximately the same.

1996 Compared to 1995
- ---------------------
Interest Expense
- ----------------
Interest expense for the second quarter of 1996 increased by
$ 75,040 , as compared to 1995 primarily as a result of the Company's
increase in long-term debt. Interest expense for 1996 and 1995
resulted primarily from interest on the Company's long-term debt. The
increased long-term debt was a result of the 1995 dyeing expansion.
Interest Income
- ---------------
Interest income for the second quarter of 1996 decreased by
$ 20,363, as compared to the second quarter of 1995. The decrease was
due to a lower average matured funds balance maintained with the
Company's factor.
Income Before Provision for Income Taxes
- ----------------------------------------
For the thirteen week period ended June 29, 1996, income before
provision for income taxes decreased by $ 563,615 , or 93.0 %, as
compared to the similar period of 1995.
Key factors contributing to the 1996 decreased operating results are
continued shifts in the product mix , increased raw material costs,
and increased operating expenses.
Provision for Income Taxes
- --------------------------
For the thirteen week period ended June 29, 1996 and July 1, 1995,
the Company made provision for income taxes of $ 16,660 and $ 237,132,
respectively, based on the pre-tax income for the 1996 and 1995 periods
of $ 42,619 and $ 606,234 ,respectively. Income taxes as a percentage
of pre-tax income aggregated 39.1 % for both the 1996 and 1995
periods.

TWENTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED JUNE 29, 1996
COMPARED TO TWENTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED JULY 1, 1995
Net Sales
- ---------
Net sales for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29,1996, increased by
$ 2,078,151 , or 11.5 %, to an aggregate of $ 20,208,867 compared to
$18,130,716 for the like 1995 period. Total pounds shipped for the 1996
period increased by 13.0%. Full yarn pounds shipped increased by 31.1 %,
while commission yarn (the dyeing and processing of customer owned yarns)
pounds shipped decreased by 41.5%.
Cost of Sales and Gross Margin
- ------------------------------
Cost of sales for the twenty-six weeks of 1996 increased by
$ 2,882,032, or 18.2%, as compared to the similar period of 1995.
Material cost increased by $ 2,646,683 , or 27.7%, as compared to
the like 1995 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 increased by $ 154,852 , representing a

acquisition of new machinery and equipment.
Interest Income
- ---------------
Interest income for the twenty-six week period of 1996 decreased by
$ 43,480 as compared to 1995. The decrease was due to a lower average
matured funds balance maintained with the Company's factor as compared
to the 1995 period.

Provision for Income Taxes
- --------------------------
For the twenty-six week periods ended June 29, 1996 and July 1, 1996,
the Company made provision for income taxes of $ (9,329) and 491,432,
respectively, based on the pre-tax income (loss) for the 1996 and 1995
periods of $ (23,849) and $ 1,256,299, respectively. Income taxes or
credits, as a percentage of pre-tax income aggregated 39.1 % for both
the 1996 and 1995 periods.
Subsequent Matters
- ------------------
The operating results for the first six months reflect a continuation
of pressures in the market for lower priced products, increased costs
and delayed shipments out of the new dyeing equipment, and higher raw
material costs.
As the company stated at the end of first quarter, "the majority of
the technical issues relative to the new dyeing facility will be solved
during the second quarter"; The company currently feels that it can now
move forward with its original plans. However, due to the time required
for the complete cycle from initial shipment to final approval by the
customers, the impact of increased shipments and improved operating
results are expected to start in the fourth quarter of 1996.

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. As of June 29, 1996, the
Company had $3,666,678 due from its factor, of which amount $ 58 was in
matured funds held by the factor, and a net amount of $ 3,666,620
consisted of amounts due from the factor on the regular factoring
account with a maturity date in July 1996.
The Company entered into a new loan agreement effective March 29,
1996 providing for a term loan of $6,000,000 and a working capital
facility of $2,000,000. Under the provision on the loan agreement,
the Company may borrow up to $2,000,000 for seasonal working capital
requirements using receivables due from factors as security.
The Company's working capital at June 29, 1996 aggregated $ 6,733,498
representing a working capital ratio of 4.1 to 1 compared with a
working capital of $5,469,831 at December 30, 1995 and a working
capital ratio of 3.5 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 June 29, 1996.
Cash, cash equivalents and receivables.................. $ 4,256,223
Current liabilities..................................... 2,192,873
------------
Excess of quick assets over current liabilities......... $ 2,063,350
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.
