               Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statement
  For the Nine and Three Periods Ended September 29, 1996 and October 1, 1995
                                  (Unaudited)



1. UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

        In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated
Condensed Financial Statements contain all adjustments necessary to present
fairly the financial position as of September 29, 1996 and the results of
operations for the nine and three month periods ended September 29, 1996 and
October 1, 1995. The financial statements are presented as permitted by the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of regulation S-X. The accounting
policies followed by the Company are set forth in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K which is incorporated by reference.

        The results of operations for the nine and three month period ended
September 29, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the full year. These unaudited financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's most recent audited financial statements.

        The three month period for 1996 began July 1, 1996 and ended September
29, 1996. The three month period for 1995 began July 3, 1995 and ended October
1, 1995. The nine month period for 1996 began January 1, 1996 and ended
September 29, 1996. The nine month period for 1995 began January 1, 1995 and
ended October 1, 1995.

 2.   ACQUISITION

On March 6, 1995, the company acquired the Balfour Healthcare Division of
Kayser-Roth Corporation and manufacturing facility in Rockwood, Tennessee
("Balfour") for approximately $15.3 million. The Company financed 100% of the
acquisition price with a revolving loan agreement provided by a bank (See Note
4).

The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets
acquired (goodwill) of $9.428 million is amortized on a straight line basis over
15 years.

The results of operations of Balfour are included in the accompanying financial
statements since the effective date of the acquisition. The following unaudited
pro forma summary presents the information as if the acquisition had occurred at
the beginning of 1995 after giving effect to certain adjustments, including
amortization of goodwill and interest expense from debt issued to fund the
acquisition and related income tax effects. The total interest expense included
in this pro forma summary is $1,020,000 in 1995 and $996,000 in 1996. Goodwill
amortization is $462,000 in 1996 and $447,500 in 1995. This pro forma summary is
provided for information purposes only. It is based on historical information
and does not necessarily reflect the actual results that would have occurred nor
is it necessarily indicative of future results of operations.

 3. SHORT TERM BORROWINGS AND LINES OF CREDIT

        The Company has an agreement with a bank which provides a seasonal line
of credit of up to 5,000,000. In addition this line of credit provides a
sublimit of $1,000,000 to support import letters of credit. Interest is accrued
at the LIBOR rate plus 1 3/4% at September 29, 1996. The amount outstanding at
September 29, 1996, and December 31, 1995 was $2,725,358 and $1,267,600,
respectively. The line of credit commitment will be automatically reduced by
$1,000,000 on both May 31, 1998 and March 31, 1999. Indebtedness under this
agreement is collateralized by equipment and accounts receivable.

4.       LONG TERM DEBT

          Long term debt is comprised of:
                                            September 29,      December 31
                                                1996               1995

          Total                             12,850,000         14,612,500
          Less:Current Maturities            2,350,000          2,350,000
Total Long Term Debt                      $ 10,500,000        $12,262,500

       (a) Pursuant to a fixed rate term loan agreement dated February 12,
1993, this $2,000,000 note was used to purchase new equipment. Interest accrues
at 6.3% fixed rate and principal payments are made quarterly with the final
payment due December 31, 1997.

        (b) Pursuant to variable loan rate term loan agreement dated
March 6, 1995, this $15,000,000 note was used to purchase the
Balfour Healthcare Division from Kayser-Roth Corporation.
Interest accrues at the rate of LIBOR plus 2% at September 29,
1996. Principal payments are being made quarterly and began June 30, 1995
with the final payment due June 30, 2000. This loan agreement contains various 
loan covenants, as defined, which include maintaining a minimum tangible net 
worth, a minimum cash flow and leverage ratio and a limit on capital spending. 
The agreement also maintains that any cash dividends paid will not cause 
default of any loan covenant as a result of paying those dividends.

                                       7

<PAGE>

              The Company has an outstanding interest rate swap agreement under
which the Company receives a variable rate based on LIBOR and pays a fixed rate
of 7.95% on a notional amount of $3,868,561, as determined in one month
intervals through November 31, 1998. The transaction effectively changes a
portion of the Company's interest rate exposure from a variable rate to a fixed
rate. The Company is exposed to a credit loss in the event of nonperformance by
the other party to the interest rate swap agreement. However, the Company does
not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparty.
             A substantial portion of the Company's property and equipment, and
accounts receivable are pledged as collateral for the long term debt.

        The annual principal maturites of the long term debt at September 29,
1996 were as follows:

                        1996                      $     587,500
                        1997                          2,350,000
                        1998                          2,350,000
                        1999                          2,350,000
                        2000                          5,212,500
                        Total                     $  12,850,000

 5.   EARNINGS PER SHARE

Net income per common share is calculated on the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The effect of dilutive
common stock equivalents is immaterial.

 6. LICENSE AGREEMENTS

        The Company has  a licensing agreement with Coats Viyella
International, UK, in which it is obligated to pay a 5% royalty on all sales of
product under the Byford Apparel label that is not produced by Coats Viyella 
and 2.5% on all sales of Smithsonian Institute product. The Company also has an

all product sold under the BBWr label.

        In connection with the purchase of Balfour Health Products, the Company

                                       8
<PAGE>

        The Company has three other licensing agreements within the Byford
division. A 8% royalty is paid to the United States Golf Association on sales of
product for the U.S Open Golf Championship. The Smithsonian Institute receives a
royalty on sales of related products of 5.5% on sales to $1,000,000 and 7% of
sales above $1,000,000 with a minimum of $10,000 in royalty from the time period
of January 1, 1996 to June 30, 1997. The Greg Norman Division of Reebock
International Limited receives a royalty of 8% of net sales of related product
with a minimum royalty of $55,000 from July 1, 1996 until December 31, 1997. The

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations

                     Liquidity and Capital Resources


        The Company has good liquidity. On September 29, 1996, the Company had a
current working capital ratio of 3.06 to 1 and working capital of $17,534,010.
This ratio is comparable 3.05 to 1 at October 1, 1995. The decrease in inventory
levels have been offset by decreases in accounts payable and accrued
liabilities.

Liquidity needs are primarily affected by and related to capital expenditures
and increased levels of accounts receivable due to the Company's growth. These
needs are adequately being met through available working capital, and are
supplemented by a short-term line of credit of $5,000,000, to cover fluctuations
, as well as a $2,000,000 equipment term loan. In addition, the Company issued
$15,000,000 of long-term debt on March 6, 1995 to purchase the assets of Balfour
Health Products which consisted of accounts receivable, building and equipment,
and inventory.


                              Results of Operations

Three Month Periods Ended September 29, 1996, and October 1, 1995

        Net sales by division for the third quarter of 1996 compared to the
third quarter of 1995 are set forth in the following table.



                            Three Month Period Ended

        Net Sales as shown in the table above decreased by $489,970 or
3.0%. Consumer Products sales increased primarily as a result of
 sales to a new customer. Health Products sales declined as a result of weaker
sales to one of its major customers. Alba Direct sales declined as a result of
weaker sales to its domestic and Japanese customers. The Byford Division sales
decreased primarily due to continued weakness in its sweater sales.

        Gross Profits for the third quarter of 1996 increased by $1,351,464 or
57.7% over the third quarter of 1995. Gross Profits improved as a result of
lower manufacturing expenses and as result of lower inventory markdowns. During
the third quarter of 1995, the Company marked down its inventory by an
additional $1,200,000, such a markdown did not occur in 1996.

        Selling, General and Administrative expenses ( as a percentage of sales)
increased from 18.9% in the third quarter of 1995 to 20.3% in the third quarter
of 1996. The primary causes of the increase were contract programming cost,
salaries, professional services, and commissions and the lower sales volume.

        Operating income increased to $385,114 as compared to a loss of $822,136
in the third quarter of 1995. The increase in operating income as discussed
above was the result of higher gross profits.

        Total other income/expense aggregated $348,011 of expense as compared to
$353,256 of expense in 1995.

        Net Income after taxes for the three month period increased by $752,186
due to the reasons discussed above.

Nine Month Periods Ended September 29, 1996 and October 1, 1995

        Net Sales by division for the first nine month period of 1996 as
compared to the first nine month period of 1995 are set forth in the following
table:

                                        Nine Month Period Ended

  AWI Retail               14,772          52,294     (  37,522)     (71.8%)
        Total         $49,954,254     $47,399,453     $2,554,801       5.4%

        Net sales as shown in the table above, increased by $2,554,801, or 5.4%.
Consumer Products sales increased primarily as a result of increased sales to
existing customers and to a new customer. Health Products sales increased as a
result of the Balfour acquisition in March, 1995. The division's sales represent
a full nine month's of Balfour sales in 1996, as compared to approximately seven
months in 1995. Alba Direct sales declined as a result of weaker sales to its
domestic and Japanese customers. The Byford sales decreased due to a continued
weakness in sweater sales.

        Gross Profits for the nine months increased by $2,285,863 or 24.5% as
compared to a similar period in 1995. Gross profits increased as a result of the
increased sales, lower manufacturing cost and lower inventory markdowns. In the
third quarter of 1995, the Company marked down its inventories by an additional
$1,200,000, such a markdown did not occur in 1996.

        Selling, General, and Administrative expenses(as a percentage of sales)
increased from 19.7% in 1995 to 20.9% in 1996. This increase was primarily due
to an increase in goodwill amortization expense, contract programming cost,
salaries, commissions, and an increase in distribution cost caused by shipments
of smaller orders.

        Operating income increased by $1,211,152 as compared to the first nine
months of 1995. The increase in operating income, as discussed above, was a
result of an increase in sales, lower manufacturing cost and lower inventory
markdowns, partially offset by increased Selling, General and Administrative
cost.

        Total other income/expense aggregated expense of $975,484 as compared to
expense of $1,003,399 in 1995. Net Interest expense increased by $112,825 due to
nine months of interest on the bank loan for the Balfour acquisition, compared
to approximately seven months in 1995. The increased interest expense was offset
by $170,000 write-down of the value of the Company's Main Street plant in 1995,
such a write-down did not occur in 1996.

        Net income after taxes for the first nine months of 1996 increased by
$768,624 as compared to the similar nine months of 1995, due to the reasons
discussed above.
