Notes to Consolidated Financial Statement
(Unaudited)
1. UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
financial position as of September 27, 1998, and the results of operations for
the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 27, 1998, and September
28, 1997. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the Company's most recent audited financial statements.
The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
2. FINANCING
On December 31, 1997 the Company had both a $3,000,000 seasonal line of
credit and long-term debt agreements with a major bank. The interest rate was
LIBOR plus 2.75%. The seasonal line of credit was scheduled to mature on June
30, 1998, and the long-term debt portion matured on January 5, 1999. There were
no amounts outstanding under the seasonal line of credit at December 31, 1997.
Quarterly principal payments of $587,500 were required under the long-term debt
agreement.
On May 14, 1998, the Company entered into three-year $21,000,000
financing facility with a major bank and retired both the seasonal line of
credit and long-term debt discussed above. The new facility is composed of up to
a $15,000,000 revolving loan, based upon levels of accounts receivable and
inventories, a $3,000,000 term loan and a $3,000,000 credit line to fund future
capital expenditures. The new facility bears interest at Prime plus 0.5% (or at
the option of the Company, portions of the facility may be priced at LIBOR plus
2.5%) and is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company.
The loan agreement requires that the Company maintain certain levels of
tangible net worth and fixed charge coverage ratios as well as limiting the
level of capital expenditures ($5.8 million in 1998) and prohibiting other
financing (in excess of $1.5 million per year). At September 27, 1998 the
Company was in compliance with the convenants contained in the loan agreement.
On August 7, 1998, the Company secured a $1,500,000 financing lease
facility with a major financial institution covering the acquisition of
qualified machinery during the remainder of 1998. This facility is secured by
only the acquired machinery, bears interest at 7.27% and provides for level
monthly payments over its five-year term.
3. NON-RECURRING CHARGES
During the first quarter of 1997, severance costs of approximately
$401,000 were recorded in connection with the Company's former President and
CEO.
4. ACQUISITION OF COMMON STOCK
On May 15, 1998, investors, including the Company and Mr. Clyde Wm. Engle,
the Company's Chairman and beneficial holder (through Sunstates Corporation) of
a majority of the Company's common stock, purchased from a major bank 938,700
shares of the Company's common stock formerly held by Sunstates Corporation,
pursuant to a private sale of collateral held under a defaulted loan which
Sunstates Corporation's affiliates had with the bank. The Company purchased
295,000 of the shares at a cost of $2,212,500 plus other transaction costs
totaling approximately $115,000. The Company utilized its existing cash plus
funds obtained from the new $21,000,000 financing facility discussed above to
purchase the stock. The Company intends to hold the 295,000 shares as treasury
stock and currently has no plans for future utilization of those shares.
As a result of these transactions, the Company is no longer a subsidiary of
Sunstates Corporation. Mr. Engle now controls approximately 35% of the Company's
outstanding common stock.
On August 12, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the
Corporation to acquire up to 40,000 shares of the outstanding Common Stock of
the Corporation for an aggregate purchase price not to exceed $550,000. As of
September 27, 1998, the Company had purchased a total of 15,500 shares at an
aggregate cost of approximately $193,000.
5. DIVIDENDS
On August 4, 1998 the Company declared a semi-annual cash dividend of $.075
per share ($117,930) on its common stock payable on August 24, 1998 to
shareholders of record on August 14, 1998. Under the Company's loan agreement
with a bank (see Note 2), dividends and repurchases of Company stock may not
exceed $3,000,000 during the three-year term of the loan.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's working capital has improved since December 31, 1997, and
continues to be adequate to support the Company's operations. On September 27,
1998, the Company had working capital of $16,487,000 with a ratio of 3.48 to1.
This is comparable to $15,372,000 or 3.19 to 1 at December 31, 1997. The
increase in the amount of working capital primarily reflects increased
receivables associated with the increased business volume in 1998. Accounts
receivable have increased to $10,723,000 at September 27, 1998 as compared to
$7,823,000 at December 31, 1997, while the number of days sales in receivables
has decreased from 49.75 to 45.92 during the same period. Inventory levels have
not significantly increased in the face of the increased business due to the
Company's efforts to reduce excess inventories (inventory turns have increased
from 3.55 at December 31, 1997 to 4.04 at September 27, 1998). Furthermore, the
Company's annual debt amortization requirements are significantly reduced
(current maturities of $665,000 at September 1998 versus $2,350,000 at December
1997) as a result of the refinancing of its bank debt.
Liquidity needs are primarily affected by and related to capital
expenditures and changes in the Company's business volume. Capital expenditures
through the first nine months of 1998 have totaled $2,916,000, reflecting the
acquisition of new seamless knitting machines in response to the increased
demand for the Company's new seamless intimate apparel products. This level of
capital expenditures compares to $1,614,000 for the same nine months of 1997.
The Company anticipates that capital expenditures for the entire year of 1998
may approximate $8,000,000.
The Company's liquidity needs, including the stock repurchase, have
been more than adequately provided for with the securing of a new three-year
$21,000,000 financing facility with a major bank (see Note 4 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements). The new financing facility provides a
revolving loan of up to $15,000,000, depending upon levels of accounts
receivable and inventories, a term loan of $3,000,000 and a future capital
expenditure line of $3,000,000. In addition, the Company may secure other
outside financing of capital expenditures of up to $4,500,000 over the
three-year term of the facility. On August 7, 1998, the Company secured a
$1,500,000 financing lease facility with a major financial institution covering
the acquisition of qualified machinery during the remainder of 1998.
The purchase on May 15, 1998 of 295,000 shares of the Company's common
stock for approximately $2,328,000 (see Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements) reduced the company's net worth. However, the acquisition
price per share of $7.50 (plus transaction costs) was significantly less than
the Company's book value per share ($15.08 at March 29, 1998) and accordingly
the net book value of the remaining outstanding shares was increased.
On August 12, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the
Corporation to acquire up to 40,000 shares of the outstanding Common Stock of
the Corporation for an aggregate purchase price not to exceed $550,000. As of
September 27, 1998, the Company had purchased a total of 15,500 shares at an
aggregate cost of $193,000.
At September 27, 1998, the book value per share of the Company's remaining
outstanding common stock was $17.57 per share.
On August 4, 1998 the Company declared a semi-annual cash dividend of
$.075 per share ($117,930) on its common stock payable on August 24, 1998 to
shareholders of record on August 14, 1998. Under the Company's loan agreement
with a bank, dividends may not exceed $787,500 during the three-year term of the
loan.

Three Months Ended September 27, 1998 and September 28, 1997
During the third quarter of 1998 the Company reached record levels of
revenues and earnings. Third quarter earnings of $1,232,000 compared to $162,000
in the third quarter of 1997. The quarterly earnings per share of 78 cents (74
cents fully diluted) was a record for the Company and compared to 9 cents per
share in the third quarter of 1997. Revenues for the 1998 quarter increased
22.8% reaching a record level of $18,904,000 as compared to $15,390,000 for the
prior year.
Net sales by division for the third quarter of 1998 compared to the
third quarter of 1997 are set forth in the following table ($000's):

</TABLE>
Sales of Consumer Products increased $4,620,000 during the third
quarter, or 75.5% over the comparable quarter of 1997. This increase results
primarily from continuing acceptance of the Company's seamless intimate apparel
as consumers continued to respond positively to the unsurpassed fit, comfort and
style of seamless intimates. Sales in the Consumer Products Division in 1997
were down due to the loss of circular knit panty business to lower priced
imports and the decision to eliminate the full fashion panty line.
Sales of Health Products increased $498,000 or 6.5% due to growth in
all major product lines partially offset by slower than anticipated acceptance
of the Company's redesigned PulStar system.
The decline in Byford sales reflects the Company's decision in the
third quarter of 1997 to no longer distribute the line of men's socks and
sweaters due to poor profitability.
Gross margins increased in 1998 to 30.0% of net sales (20.7% in 1997)
as the result of increased volume, higher margins on new seamless styles and
cost controls.
Interest expense decreased as a result of lower long-term debt and less
borrowing under the line of credit agreement.
Nine Months Ended September 27, 1998 and September 28, 1997
During the nine months of 1998 the Company also reached record levels
of revenues and earnings. 1998 earnings of $2,625,000 compared to a loss of
$279,000 in 1997. The year-to-date earnings per share of $1.53 ($1.48 fully
diluted) was a record for the Company and compared to a loss of $.15 per share
in the prior year. Revenues for 1998 year-to-date increased 21.5% reaching a
record level of $54,914,000 as compared to $45,203,000 for the prior year.
Net sales by division for the nine months of 1998 compared to 1997 are
set forth in the following table ($000's):

</TABLE>
Sales of Consumer Products increased $12,150,000 during 1998, or 67.0%,
over 1997. This increase results primarily from continuing acceptance of the
Company's seamless intimate apparel as consumers continued to respond positively
to the unsurpassed fit, comfort and style of seamless intimates. Sales in the
Consumer Products Division in 1997 were down due to the loss of circular knit
panty business to lower priced imports and the decision to eliminate the full
fashion panty line.
Sales of Health Products increased $1,080,000 or 4.6% due to strong
sales of treads and cuffs partially offset by shortfalls in sales of
stockinette, dressings and the PulStar system.
The decline in Byford sales reflects the Company's decision in the
third quarter of 1997 to no longer distribute the line of men's socks and
sweaters due to poor profitability.
Gross margins increased in 1998 to 26.7% of net sales (21.4% in 1997)
as the result of increased volume, higher margins on new seamless styles and
cost controls.
Selling, general and administrative expenses declined (as a percentage
of net sales) from 20.4% in 1997 to 17.6% in 1998, primarily reflecting the
impact of increased volumes. Also, included in 1997 expenses was a one-time
charge of approximately $401,000 to record the severance arrangement with the
Company's former President and CEO.
Interest expense decreased as a result of lower long-term debt and less
borrowing under the line of credit agreement during the period.
Other expense in 1997 included one-time charges to write-off the full
fashion equipment ($143,000) and to write down the carrying value of the idle
Alba plant that is being held for sale ($48,000). Other income in 1997 included
several minor non-recurring gains, including a gain from the sale of certain of
the Company's yarn covering equipment, reflective of a decision to purchase
covered yarn from outside vendors at a lower cost.
