Basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants
and convertible securities.  Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all
potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the period
under the Company stock option Incentive Program (Note F).  All earnings per
share amounts for all periods have been presented and, where appropriate,
restated to conform to the SFAS No. 128 requirements.

Note H - Chino, California Facility:

In February 1994, the Company leased the land and building at its 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.  In the first quarter of
fiscal 1999 the lessee chose not to exercise its purchase option and the
Company put the property up for sale.  The property has been reclassified
from property and plant leased to others to property, plant, and equipment
held for sale.  The estimated market value of this asset exceeds its book
value which at May 30, 1999 was $1,674,000.

Note I - Washington, Georgia Facility:

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995 the Company decided to dispose of its
Washington, Georgia dyeing and finishing plant and had been actively
searching for a buyer; manufacturing operations ceased October 6, 1995.  At
such time, the Company reclassified the facility to property, plant and
equipment held for sale and estimated the net realizable value of the
facility and accrued expenses for an estimated disposition period.

In fiscal 1998, the Company reevaluated the facility and, in that connection,
recorded a charge of $500,000 reflecting the estimated impairment in value.

On March 9, 1999, the Company sold the Washington plant and equipment for
$1,340,000 cash.  The sale resulted in a loss of $86,849.

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

OPERATIONS - Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended May 30, 1999 Compared With Thirty-Nine
Weeks Ended May 31, 1998.

Fabric sales decreased by 13.9%.  This resulted from a 10.9% decline in yards
sold due to a significant decline in yards of fabrics sold by Concord House
and a slight decline in yards of knitted fabrics sold and a 3.4% decrease in
average selling price due to substantially lower prices for knitted fabric
partially offset by slightly higher prices for Concord House fabric.

Gross profit margin increased from 31% in the prior period to 32.1% in the
current period.  Lower raw material costs resulted in improved gross margins
on knitted fabric sales which offset slightly lower gross margins on Concord
House fabric sales.

Merchandising expenses declined by 17.9% or approximately $1,030,000.
Reduced sales and less design related expenses resulted in the lower
expenses.  As a percent of sales, merchandising expenses decreased from 7.5%
in 1998 to 7.2% in 1999.

Selling and shipping expenses increased 2.3% primarily due to higher cost of
sales aids and advertising.  As a percent of sales, selling and shipping
expenses increased from 7.7% in 1998 to 9.2% in 1999.

General and administrative expenses decreased 1.3%; as a percent of sales
they increased from 9.3% in 1998 to 10.7% in 1999.

Earnings before income taxes for the thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 1999 were
$2,724,000 compared with $4,341,000 for the thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 1998.
Net earnings were $1,475,000 for 1999 and $2,583,000 for 1998.  A higher
effective tax rate in the 1999 period reflected a lower tax basis than the
book value of the Washington Plant which was sold.  The decline in earnings
was principally due to the decline in sales of Concord House fabrics.
Expenses declined by $984,000 but as a percent of sales they increased from
24.5% in the thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 1998 to 27% in the current period.
To date management has not been successful in reducing expenses at the rate
at which sales have declined.  Expense reductions were effected in late
January, 1999 and they are reflected in the third fiscal quarter.

The Company's acquisition of the assets of an United Kingdom business, will
not have a material impact on the Company balance sheet or results of
operations for fiscal 1999.  The acquisition is expected to enable the
Company to establish a presence in Europe and provide the Company with an
additional brand which it will market globally.

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

OPERATIONS - Thirteen Weeks Ended May 30, 1999 Compared With Thirteen Weeks
Ended May 31, 1998.

Fabric sales decreased by 9.3%.  This resulted from a 3.7% decline in units
sold stemming from a decline in unit (yards) sold of Concord House product
offset slightly by an increase in unit (yards) sold of knitted fabric and a
5.8% decrease in average selling price due to lower prices for knitted
fabrics sold; the average selling price for Concord House fabrics rose
slightly.

Gross profit margin increased from 30.8% in fiscal 1998 to 33.2% in fiscal
1999.  Lower raw material costs resulted in improved gross margins on knitted
fabric sales which offset lower gross margins on Concord House fabric sales.

Merchandising expenses declined by 20.1% or approximately $399,000.  Reduced
sales and less design related expenses resulted in the lower expenses.
Merchandising expenses decreased from the prior year's period from 7.8% of
sales to 6.8% of sales in the current period.

Selling and shipping expenses increased 3.5%; as a percent of sales they
increased from 8% in 1998 to 9.1% in 1999.

General and administrative expenses increased 5.1%; as a percent of sales
they increased from 8.6% in 1998 to 9.9% in 1999.

Interest expense decreased 22.8% or approximately $49,000 primarily due to a
scheduled payment of principal on Notes Payable - Insurance Company.

Earnings before income taxes for the third quarter of fiscal 1999 were
$1,453,000 compared with $1,461,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 1998.
Net earnings were $748,000 for 1999 and $863,000 for 1998.  A higher
effective tax rate in the 1999 period reflected a lower tax basis than the
book value of the Washington Plant which was sold.  Expenses declined by
$215,000 but as a percent of sales they increased from 24.3% in the third
quarter of fiscal 1998 to 25.8% in the current period.  To date management
has not been successful in reducing expenses at the rate at which sales have
declined.  Expense reductions were effected in late January, 1999 and they
are reflected in this fiscal quarter.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 1999, the Company's operations
provided $1,566,000.  Fixed assets in the amount of $1,329,000 were acquired
                                                                  15 of 18

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

($960,000 for plant and equipment at the Company's Milledgeville, Georgia
production facility and the balance for furniture, fixtures and leasehold
improvements in the Company's New York office).  The Company decreased its
investments in held to maturity securities which produced $79,000.  The sale
of machinery and equipment produced $72,000 in cash.  The Company received
the net proceeds, $1,206,000, from the sale of the Washington, Georgia
facility.  On March 31, 1999 $295,000 was used to acquire the assets of an
United Kingdom business.  The repurchase of 120,892 shares of stock cost
$753,000; the exercise of stock options produced $150,000.  $2,850,000 was
paid as the first scheduled repayment of notes payable - insurance company.
As a result, cash decreased by $2,153,000 during the period.  Working capital
decreased by $979,000.  The Company 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 rest of fiscal 1999.

Year 2000 Compliance

The Company believes it has taken reasonable steps in developing its Year
2000 Program.  Its computer systems provide for four digits in the year field
so that data processing and reporting should not be disrupted at the
millennium.  Notwithstanding this, the Company cannot be certain whether
microprocessors embedded in other equipment or Year 2000 problems of its
customers, key suppliers or service providers will be discovered and or
resolved satisfactorily before the Year 2000.  The Company is requesting
information on Year 2000 issues from third parties significant to its
business

If the Company's key suppliers, service providers, customers and other third
parties fail to adequately address their Year 2000 Problems, and there are no
alternatives available to the Company, then the Company's usual channels of
supply and distribution could be disrupted with a resulting adverse impact on
its business.  The Company does not believe that the cost of its Year 2000
program will be material to its financial position or its results of
operations.
