               Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statement
          For the Three Periods Ended March 30, 1997 and March 31, 1996
                                  (Unaudited)

1. UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

      In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments necessary to present
fairly the financial position as of March 30, 1997 and the results of operations
for the three month periods ended March 30, 1997 and March 31, 1996. 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 three month period ended March 30, 1997
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 1997 began January 1, 1997 and ended March 30,
1997. The three month period for 1996 began January 1, 1996 and ended March 31,
1996.

2.   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 March 30, 1997. The amount outstanding at March 30,
1997 was $37,025. 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.

3.   LONG TERM DEBT

        Long term debt is comprised of:
                                                    March 30,     December 31,

                 Total                             11,675,000      12,262,500
                 Less:Current Maturities            2,350,000       2,350,000

          Total Long Term Debt                   $  9,325,000    $  9,912,500
                                

      (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.


                                       6

      (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
March 30, 1997. 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.

      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 $3,342,806, 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 March 30, 1997
were as follows:

                        1997                   1,762,500
                        1998                   2,350,000
                        1999                   2,350,000
                        2000                   5,212,500
                                             -----------
                       Total                 $11,675,000

4.   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.

5. 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 agreement with
Mr. Ray Shaw, which obligates the Company to pay a 5% royalty on all product
sold under the BBW(R) label.


                                       7
<PAGE>

      In connection with the purchase of Balfour Health Products, the Company is
obligated to pay Ms. Ada Shapiro a royalty of 5% of sales up to $1,000,000, 2.5%
of sales from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000, and 1.5% of sales over $2,000,000 on two

      The Company has two other licensing agreements within the Byford division.
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 minimum increases to $104,000 in 1998 and

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

                         Liquidity and Capital Resources
                         -------------------------------

      The Company has good liquidity. On March 30, 1997, the Company had a
current working capital ratio of 3.26 to 1 and working capital of $16,060,982.
This ratio is comparable 2.90 to 1 at March 31, 1996. The decrease in inventory
levels have been offset by decreases in accounts payable and short term
borrowings.

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 March 30, 1997, and March 31, 1996

        Net sales by division for the first quarter of 1997 compared to the
first quarter of 1996 are set forth in the following table.

                          Three Month Period Ended

      Net Sales as shown in the table above decreased by $3,438,538 or 19.8%.
Consumer Products sales decreased primarily as a result of a loss of circular
knit panty business to lower priced imports and the Company's decision to
eliminate the Full Fashion panty line by mid-year. The Full Fashion loss was
offset in part by converting customers to the seamless panty line Health
Products sales declined primarily as a result of lower sales to two major
distributors. Alba Direct sales declined due to lower sales to Japan. The Byford
Division sales declined primarily as a result of late shipments of manufactured
socks from vendors.

      Gross profits decreased from 23.7% to 21.5% of net sales mainly due to a
lower volume of sales causing manufacturing overhead cost per unit to increase.


                                       9
<PAGE>

      Selling, General and Administrative expenses ( as a percentage of sales)
increased from 20.9% in the first quarter of 1996 to 25.4% in the first quarter
of 1997. Although the percentage to net sales increased as a result of the lower
sales volume, actual expenses decreased $98,000. The Company was able to reduce
distribution, marketing, and selling expenses for the quarter in the aggregate
by $519,000, however, this was partially offset by a one-time charge to record
the severance arrangement with the Company's former President and CEO (See the
Company's 1997 Proxy Statement).

      Interest Expense, net of income received, decreased in the first quarter
of 1997 by $26,855 or 9.1% as a result of lower long-term debt and less
borrowing under the line of credit agreement during the period.

      Other expense increased by $273,083 primarily as a result of one-time
charges to write-off the full fashion equipment $143,000, to write off a deposit
on a canceled machinery order $80,000, and to write down the carrying value of 
the idle Alba plant that is being held for sale, $48,000.

      As a result of the foregoing, the Company recorded an after tax loss of
$685,287 for the first quarter of 1997 as compared to a net income of $100,737
for the first quarter of 1996.

Changes in accounting standards. In February, 1997, the Financial Accounting 
Standards Board issued FAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share". This statement is not
expected to have a material impact on the Company's reporting of Earnings 
Per Share.

Items as a percentage of sales are reflected in the following table:
