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. 
                                                                         
                                                                      11 of 17<PAGE>

Diluted EPS includes the effect of potential dilution from the exercise of
outstanding dilutive stock options and warrants into common stock using the
treasury stock method.  SFAS No. 128 became effective for financial
statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997.  Prior year's
financial statements have been restated to conform to this statement.

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.

Note J - Year 2000 Compliance:

Registrant expects to be in full compliance with year 2000 issues by December
31, 1998 and does not anticipate incurring significant cost in that
connection.  Costs are expensed as they are incurred.

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

OPERATIONS - Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended May 31, 1998 Compared With Thirty-Nine
Weeks Ended June 1, 1997.

Fabric sales decreased by 3%.  This resulted from a 2% decline in yards sold
and a 1% decline in average selling price.  Sales of knitted fabrics
increased; sales of Concord House fabrics declined.

Gross profit margin increased from 29.8% in the prior period to 31% in the
current period primarily due to improved plant performance in the production
of knitted fabrics and the wider distribution of knitted fabrics.  Actual
gross profit increased marginally as the effect of the decline in sales
almost offset the increased gross margin percent.  Gross margins on knitted
fabric sales improved; gross margins on Concord House fabric sales declined.

Selling and shipping expenses declined by 15.8% or approximately $1,102,000. 
Reduced sales in Registrant's current business lines resulted in a $501,000
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 7.7% of sales; in the prior year's
period they were 8.9% of sales.

Interest expense (net) declined by 32.5% as Registrant generated cash flow
from its reduction in business activity and earned interest income from cash
invested in securities.

Earnings before income taxes for the thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 1998 were
$4,341,000 compared with $3,121,000 for the thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 1997. 
Net earnings were $2,583,000 for 1998 and $1,826,000 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 May 31, 1998 Compared With Thirteen Weeks
Ended June 1, 1997.

Fabric sales decreased by 1.4%.  This resulted from a 2% decrease in average
selling price and a 0.7% increase in yards sold.  Sales of knitted fabrics
increased; sales of Concord House fabrics declined.

Gross profit margin increased from 29.2% in fiscal 1997 to 30.8% in fiscal
1998 primarily due to Registrant's elimination of its less profitable product 
                                                                      
                                                                      13 of 17<PAGE>

lines and the implementation of its strategy to focus on the more profitable
aspects of its business (Concord House and knitted fabrics).  Gross margins
on knitted fabric sales improved; gross margins on Concord House fabric sales
declined. 

Merchandising expenses increased by 16.7% as a result of higher design costs. 
Merchandising expenses were 7.8% of sales in the current period and 6.6% of
sales in the prior year's period.
 
Interest expense (net) declined by 14.6% 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 securities.

Earnings before income taxes for the third quarter of fiscal 1998 were
$1,461,000 compared with $1,132,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 1997. 
Net earnings were $863,000 for 1998 and $666,000 for 1997.  The improvements
in earnings before taxes and net earnings resulted primarily from improved
gross profits from sales of knitted fabrics and reduced net interest
expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 1998, Registrant's operations provided
$1,018,000 cash.  $2,218,000 was used to acquire fixed assets ($1,338,000 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).  Registrant made a $4,506,000 net
investment in held to maturity securities.  The sale of machinery and
equipment produced $60,000 in cash; the exercise of stock options $93,000. As
a result, cash decreased by $5,553,000 during the period.  Working capital
declined by $827,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended May 31, 1998.  It was
reduced by the first $2,850,000 installment due November 30, 1998 on
Registrant's notes payable.  Registrant expects its short-term cash
investments its lines of credit and cash flow from operations to be adequate
to finance operations and meet its cash requirements for the foreseeable
future.
