                                                           Continued

The loan agreement requires maintenance of certain financial ratios and

agreement also prohibits the pledging of assets and restricts dividends and
redemptions of capital stock to $3,000,000 plus 50% of net earnings

payments aggregated approximately $5,234,000 at March 1, 1998.

(4)  Class B shares are convertible into Class A shares on the basis of one
share of Class A shares for each share of Class B shares;  Class A shares

Note F - Stock Options:

Pursuant to an Incentive Program adopted on January 10, 1989, and amended on
December 4, 1996 awards (as defined) may be granted to key employees and
directors of the Registrant up to a maximum of 500,000 shares of the
Registrant's Class A common stock.

On January 10, 1989, options to purchase an aggregate of 150,000 shares of
the Registrant's Class A common stock at $3 a share (fair market value at
such date) were granted to three employees.  The options are exercisable in

such date) were granted to two employees.  The options are exercisable in
four annual installments commencing January 9, 1997 and expire ten years from
the date of the grant.

On January 9, 1996 options to purchase 5,000 shares of the Registrant's Class
A common stock at $4.625 (fair market value at such date) were granted to two
outside directors.  On September 2, 1996, options to purchase an additional
5,000 shares of the Registrant's Class A common stock at $6.625 (fair market
value at such date) were granted to those directors.

On January 14, 1997, the Registrant granted an option to the Chairman of the
Board of Directors to purchase an aggregate of 70,000 shares of the
Registrant's Class A common stock at $7.0125 a share (110% of the fair market
value at such date).  This option is exercisable in five annual installments
commencing January 14, 1998, and expires five years from the date of grant;
the Chairman was also granted an option to purchase 30,000 shares of the
Registrant's Class A common stock at $6.375 a share.  This option is
exercisable in five annual installments commencing January 14, 1998 and
expires ten years from the date of grant.
 
On January 13, 1998 options to purchase 7,500 shares of the Registrant's
Class A common stock at $8.875 (fair market value at such date) were granted
to three outside directors.

The Registrant accounts for equity - based awards granted to employees and
directors under APB Opinion No. 25 under which no compensation cost has been
recognized for stock options granted at fair market value.  Had compensation
cost for these stock options been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123,
the decrease in Registrant's net earnings and net earnings per share would
have not been material. 

Note G - Earnings Per Share:

In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 128,
"Earnings Per Share."  This statement establishes standards for computing and
presenting earnings per share ("EPS"), replacing the presentation of
currently required Primary EPS with a presentation of Basic EPS.  For
entities with complex capital structures, the statement requires the dual
presentation of both Basic EPS and Diluted EPS on the face of the statement
of operations.  Under this new standard,  Basic EPS is computed on the
weighted average number of shares actually outstanding during the year.

Note H - Chino, California Facility:

In February 1994, the Registrant leased the land and building at the Chino,
California facility for a five year period at an annual net rental of
$297,000; the lessee was also granted the option to purchase the land and
building during the lease period for $2,900,000.  
                                        
Note I - Property, Plant and Equipment Held for Sale:

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995 Registrant decided to dispose of its
Washington, Georgia dyeing and finishing plant and has been actively
searching for a buyer; manufacturing operations ceased October 6, 1995. 
Registrant estimates that the net proceeds, from the sale of the facility
will approximate the facility's net book value.

Item 2..........MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
             FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OPERATIONS - Twenty-Six Weeks Ended March 1, 1998 Compared With Twenty-Six
Weeks Ended March 2, 1997.

Fabric sales decreased by 3.8%.  This resulted from a 3.3% decline in yards
sold and a less than 1% decline in average selling price. 

Gross profit margin increased from 30% in the prior period to 31% in the
current period primarily due to improved plant performance and the wider
distribution of knitted fabrics.  Actual gross profit declined marginally as
the increased gross margin percent almost offset the effect of the decline in
sales.

Selling and shipping expenses declined by 19.5% or approximately $933,000. 
Reduced sales in Registrant's current business lines resulted in a $377,000
reduction in selling and shipping expenses.  The balance of the reduction was
primarily due to the phasing out of sales of woven fabrics to women's apparel
manufacturers.  Future quarterly comparisons to prior year results will not
benefit substantially from the latter expense reductions.  In the current
period selling and shipping expenses were 7.6% of sales; in the prior year's
period they were 9.1% of sales.

Interest expense (net) declined by 40.2% as Registrant generated cash flow
from its reduction in business activity and earned interest income from cash
invested in marketable securities.

Earnings before income taxes for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 1998
were $2,880,000 compared with $1,990,000 for the first twenty-six weeks of
fiscal 1997.  Net earnings were $1,720,000 for 1998 and $1,161,000 for 1997. 
The improvement in earnings was principally due to the reduction in selling
and shipping expenses resulting from the phasing out of sales of woven
fabrics to women's apparel manufacturers and to a lesser extent to reduced
net interest expense.

OPERATIONS - Thirteen Weeks Ended March 1, 1998 Compared With Thirteen Weeks
Ended March 2, 1997.

Fabric sales increased by 1.0%.  This resulted from a 3.4% increase in
average selling price and a 2.3% decline in yards sold. 

Gross profit margin increased from 30.1% in fiscal 1997 to 31.1% in fiscal
1998 primarily due to Registrant's elimination of its less profitable product
lines and the implementation of its strategy to focus on the more profitable
aspects of its business (Concord House and knitted fabrics).
                                                                      
                                                                      13 of 16<PAGE>

Item 2..........MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
             FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Merchandising expenses increased by 10.9% as a result of higher design costs. 
Merchandising expenses were 7.3% of sales in the current period and 6.7% of
sales in the prior year's period.

Selling and shipping expenses declined by 11.9% or approximately $265,000. 
The phasing out of sales of the woven fabrics to women's apparel
manufacturers resulted in a $116,000 reduction in selling and shipping
expenses.  They were 7.5% of sales in the current period and 8.6% of sales in
the prior year's period.

Interest expense (net) declined by 38.1% as Registrant generated cash flow
from its planned reduction of business activity which stemmed from the
elimination of unprofitable product ranges.  Registrant generated interest
income from cash invested in marketable securities.

Earnings before income taxes for the second quarter of fiscal 1998 were
$1,550,000 compared with $1,058,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 1997. 
Net earnings were $925,000 for 1998 and $618,000 for 1997. 

Future reporting periods may not compare as favorably as this quarter did
when compared with 1997 operating results as the elimination of Registrant's
less profitable product lines was virtually completed by the end of the
second quarter of fiscal 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 1998, Registrant's operations
provided $2,962,000 cash.  $1,415,000 was used to acquire fixed assets
($825,000 for plant and equipment at Registrant's Milledgeville, Georgia
production facility and the balance for furniture, fixtures and leasehold
improvements in Registrant's New York office).  Cash increased by $1,061,000
during the period.  $7,832,000 of held to maturity securities matured. 
Working capital declined by $1,229,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March
1, 1998 as a result of the reclassification to current liabilities of
$2,850,000, the first installment due November 30, 1998 on Registrant's notes
payable.  Registrant expects its lines of credit and cash flow from
operations to be adequate to finance operations and meet its cash
requirements for the balance of fiscal 1998.
