NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial statements which do not include all of the
information and footnotes required in annual financial statements.  In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three and six months ended June 29, 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire
year. 

NOTE B - INVENTORIES

Inventories are summarized as follows:

NOTE C - DEBT AND CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS

Under the terms of the Company's unsecured revolving credit and term-loan 
agreement, revolving credit availability is permanently reduced by 50% of 
the net cash proceeds from certain significant asset sales.  Accordingly, 
the revolving credit availability was reduced by $15.5 million as a result 
of the sale of Threads USA on June 3, 1996.  The net effect of the 
availability reduction and debt repayments increased unused borrowing 
capacity under the Company's revolving credit agreements from $38.8 million 
at December 30, 1995 to $61.4 million at June 29, 1996.







                                                                         10

NOTE D - SALE OF THE COMPANY'S THREADS USA BUSINESS

On June 3, 1996, the Company sold its Threads USA business, including 
substantially all of its property, plant and equipment, raw material and 
in-process inventories and certain other assets to American & Efird, Inc., 
a subsidiary of Ruddick Corporation, for $27.2 million cash.  Under the 
terms of the asset purchase agreement: (i) thread inventories retained by 
the Company are to be held for purchase by American & Efird to service the 
Threads USA business; (ii) Threads USA's branded product lines must be 
continued until the earlier of six months or all such inventories are 
purchased from the Company; and (iii) the Company is prohibited from 
competing in the thread business for a period of five years.  Accounts 
receivable associated with Threads USA were retained by the Company.  Net 
proceeds from these transactions are anticipated to exceed $50.0 million 
and are expected to be used primarily to reduce the Company's outstanding 
long-term debt.

In the fourth quarter of 1995, the Company recorded a valuation allowance 
of approximately $41.5 million to reduce its investment in Threads USA to 
estimated net realizable value.  Approximately $4.0 million of cost to exit 
the Threads USA business (consisting primarily of severance costs and 
pension related settlement expenses which, in accordance with GAAP, could 
not be recognized as part of the valuation allowance) was recorded in the 
second quarter of 1996 when the asset purchase agreement was executed.  
This cost was included in "Other (income) expense-net" in the Company's 
consolidated statements of income.

Also, in the second quarter of 1996, the Company recorded a $3.6 million 
gain primarily resulting from liquidations of thread LIFO inventory 
quantities carried at lower costs prevailing in prior years.  This gain was 
included as a reduction of costs of sales in the Company's consolidated 
statements of income.

Threads USA sales were $21.8 million and $45.6 million, respectively in the 
second quarter and first six months of 1996.  Operating profits for Threads 
USA were $.8 million for the second quarter of 1996 and $1.8 million for 
the first six months of 1996.




PART I - ITEM 2                                                          11

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL 
CONDITION

The following is presented to update the discussion of results of 
operations and financial condition included in the Company's 1995 Annual 
Report.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

On June 3, 1996, the Company sold its Threads USA business, including 
substantially all of its property, plant and equipment, raw material and 
in-process inventories and certain other assets to American & Efird, Inc. 
for $27.2 million cash.  Under the terms of the asset purchase agreement: 
(i) thread inventories retained by the Company are to be held for purchase 
by American & Efird to service the Threads USA business; (ii) Threads USA's 
branded product lines must be continued until the earlier of six months or 
all such inventories are purchased from the Company; and (iii) the Company 
is prohibited from competing in the thread business for a period of five 
years.  Accounts receivable associated with Threads USA were retained by 
the Company.  Net proceeds from these transactions are anticipated to 
exceed $50.0 million and are expected to be used primarily to reduce the 
Company's outstanding long-term debt.

In the fourth quarter of 1995, the Company recorded a valuation allowance 
of approximately $41.5 million to reduce its investment in Threads USA to 
estimated net realizable value.  Approximately $4.0 million of cost to exit 
the Threads USA business (consisting primarily of severance costs and 
pension related settlement expenses which, in accordance with GAAP, could 
not be recognized as part of the valuation allowance) was recorded in the 
second quarter of 1996 when the asset purchase agreement was executed.  
This cost was included in "Other (income) expense-net" in the Company's 
consolidated statements of income.

Also, in the second quarter of 1996, the Company recorded a $3.6 million 
gain primarily resulting from liquidations of thread LIFO inventory 
quantities carried at lower costs prevailing in prior years.  This gain was 
included as a reduction of costs of sales in the Company's consolidated 
statements of income.

The following table sets forth selected operating data (in millions of 
dollars) related to the two business segments of the Company:  
Floorcovering and Textile Products.

    Company total                   $  7.8   $  6.7      $ 11.8   $ 13.9

Unusual items in 1995 included a $2.9 million casualty insurance gain in 
floorcovering and a $1.8 million facilities consolidation charge in textile 
products.

The decline in 1996 sales is principally the result of the Company's 
strategy to improve margins by reducing sales of lower margin textile 
products.  This strategy resulted in the consolidation of two synthetic 
yarn facilities and the sale of an open-end cotton yarn plant in the second 
and third quarters of 1995, respectively, reducing the Company's capacity 
to produce commodity textile products.  Textile sales were also impacted by 
weak demand for knit fabrics and the sale of the Company's Threads USA 
business on June 3, 1996.

Excluding unusual items in 1995, operating profits in the second quarter of 
1996 improved $1.3 million in the Company's floorcovering business and $.9 
million in its textile operations compared with the previous year.  The 
improved floorcovering results are principally due to stronger second 
quarter demand for most of the Company's floorcovering products and 
manufacturing cost reductions.  Improved textile earnings reflect the shift 
in business to higher margin products and reductions in selling and 
administrative expenses.






                                                                         13

Excluding unusal items in 1995, year-to-date 1996 operating profits 
declined $.7 million in the Company's floorcovering operations and $.3 
million in its textile operations compared to the prior year.  The lower 
1996 floorcovering operating profits reflected weak demand for carpet yarn 
in the first quarter.  Weak retail demand of customers for certain textile 
products in the first quarter of 1996 affected year-to-date textile 
results.

Interest expense decreased in both the second quarter and for the first six 
months of 1996, compared with the comparable 1995 periods as a result of 
the lower debt levels in 1996.




LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the six months ended June 29, 1996, operating activities generated 
funds of $22.7 million (including $11.9 million of working capital 
reduction associated with the sale of Threads) while net proceeds from the 
sale of property, plant and equipment (primarily the assets of Threads USA) 
provided additional funds of $23.2 million.  These funds were used to 
reduce the Company's outstanding long-term debt by $39.6 million and to 
finance capital expenditures of $8.6 million.

Under the terms of the Company's unsecured revolving credit and term-loan 
agreement, revolving credit availability is permanently reduced by 50% of 
the net cash proceeds from certain significant asset sales.  Accordingly, 
the revolving credit availability was reduced by $15.5 million as a result 
of the sale of Threads USA on June 3, 1996.  The net effect of the 
availability reduction and debt repayments increased unused borrowing 
capacity under the Company's revolving credit agreements from $38.8 million 
at December 30, 1995 to $61.4 million at June 29, 1996.

Operating cash flows for the remainder of the year are expected to exceed 
the Company's liquidity requirements, including capital expenditures, with 
the excess funds available to reduce debt.  The Company also anticipates 
further debt reductions of approximately $15.0 million funded by the 
collection of accounts receivable retained in and the sale of inventories 
associated with the Threads transaction.
