                                     PART I


ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

     Fab Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Registrant")
are engaged in the business of manufacturing and marketing warp knit textile
fabrics, raschel laces, circular knits, novelty knits, and polyurethane coated
bonded fabrics. In addition, the Registrant produces comforters, sheets,
blankets and other bedding products. The Registrant's products are generally
non-branded. The Registrant was incorporated under the laws of the State of
Delaware on April 21, 1966 and is a successor by merger to previously existing
businesses.

     The Registrant's textile operations consist primarily of knitting and
finishing synthetic yarns on tricot and raschel warp knitting machines and
synthetic and natural yarns on circular double and single knit machines.
Products in which the Registrant's textile fabrics are used include a broad line
of ready to wear and intimate apparel for men, women and children; children's
sleepwear; activewear; recreational apparel; home furnishing applications;
over-the-counter fabrics sold to major fabric specialty chain stores; industrial
fabrics; and upholstery fabrics for the residential and contract markets.

     The Registrant also utilizes its own textile fabrics in its Salisbury,
North Carolina manufacturing facility to produce flannel and satin sheets, as
well as blankets, comforters and other bedding products which the Registrant
sells to chain stores, department stores, specialty stores, catalogue and mail
order concerns, and domestic and foreign airlines. The Registrant also sells to
the institutional health-care markets.

     The Registrant's Raval Lace Division manufactures raschel lace products for
sale to manufacturers of women's lingerie and women's and children's apparel.
There are also sales in the ribbon and craft, and home furnishings trades. In
addition, the Raval Lace Division produces over-the-counter lace fabrics for
sale to retailers.

     Through its Raval Designer Lace Division, the Registrant produces a more
intricately designed lace on the Registrant's state-of-the-art, high-bar
electronic machinery. The Designer Lace products are used in women's better
designer lingerie, bridal wear, dresses, blouses and sportswear. In addition,
both lace divisions have been responding to an increased market demand for lycra
and helenca stretch laces for use in the intimate apparel and sportswear areas.

     The Registrant's subsidiary, Gem Urethane Corporation, produces a line of
polyurethane coated fabrics and a variety of flame, adhesive and ultrasonically
bonded items. Products in which the Registrant's polyurethane fabrics are used
include shoes, luggage, apparel, accessories, women's handbags, belts, health
care, industrial and automotive products.

     The Registrant engages in research and product development activities which
are directed to the creation of new fabrics and styles to meet the continually
changing demands of its customers. Direct expenditures in this area aggregated
$3,659,000 in 1992,


                                       1
<PAGE>   4

$3,824,000 in 1993 and $4,347,000 in 1994. Through these efforts, the Registrant
has developed a full line of proprietary knitted fabrics for sale to
manufacturers of men's, women's and children's apparel, both domestically and in
foreign markets. Similarly, the Registrant has also developed a full line of
proprietary sheets and blankets, including specialty blankets for airlines.

     While the Registrant utilizes various trademarks and trade names in
connection with the promotion and sale of its products, it does not believe that
the loss or expiration of any such trademark or trade name would have a material
adverse effect on its operations.

     The Registrant's products are marketed primarily by its full-time sales
personnel, although the Registrant also utilizes the services of independent
representatives located throughout much of the United States and abroad.
Advertisements in various media, frequently in cooperation with producers of
yarn utilized by the Registrant, are also employed as a marketing tool.

     Historically, the Registrant's business reflects minor seasonal variation.
Somewhat higher sales are recorded in the second and third fiscal quarters as a
result of purchases by customers in anticipation of Fall and Holiday apparel
sales. The fourth and first fiscal quarter sales tend to be lower as they are
derived from apparel customer orders limited to those needed to replenish
smaller inventory requirements after Fall and Holiday sales and prior to
customer reorders for Spring and Summer fabrications.

     The Registrant does not deem information relating to backlog of firm orders
to be material, as goods subject to such orders are shipped within a relatively
short time, usually two-to-ten weeks, depending on the availability of yarn and
other raw materials. On average, orders are filled within six weeks.

     For the fiscal year ended December 3, 1994, the Registrant's aggregate
sales to companies under the common control of Sara Lee Corporation accounted
for approximately 10% of the Registrant's net sales. The receivables from this
group of customers represent approximately 11% of the Registrant's December 3,
1994 accounts receivable balance. The Registrant's export sales are not
material.


SUPPLIES OF RAW MATERIALS

     The Registrant has not experienced difficulties in obtaining sufficient
chemicals, dyes and other raw materials and supplies required to maintain full
production; nor has it experienced difficulties in obtaining sufficient yarns.
The Registrant is not dependent upon any single source of supply and alternative
sources are available for most of the raw materials necessary to conduct its
business.


                                       2

<PAGE>   5

INVENTORIES

     The Registrant is required to maintain adequate inventories of yarns and
other raw materials to insure an uninterrupted production flow. Greige and
finished goods must be maintained as inventory to meet varying customer demand
and delivery requirements. Credit terms available to customers normally exceed
credit terms extended by suppliers of raw materials, requiring the Registrant to
maintain adequate working capital.


COMPETITION

     The Registrant is engaged in a highly competitive business which is based
largely upon product quality, service and price and upon general consumer demand
for the finished goods in which the Registrant's products are utilized. The
Registrant believes that there are in excess of 20 other manufacturers for its
products. The Registrant believes that it is one of the major warp and circular
knit, raschel lace and urethane product manufacturers in the United States. The
proportion of imported textile goods sold in the United States has increased
substantially in the past few years, and has had an adverse impact on
domestically manufactured textile products and the number of domestic
manufacturers of such products. The Registrant's strong financial position and
increased capacity (the result of significant expenditures for production
equipment) have enabled it to capture a larger share of the now smaller domestic
textile market.


EMPLOYEES

     The Registrant's employees who number approximately 1,800 are not
represented by unions. The Registrant considers relations with its employees to
be satisfactory.


ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.

     The Registrant's manufacturing operations are conducted in facilities owned
by the Registrant in Lincolnton, Maiden, Cherryville and Salisbury, which are
all in North Carolina, and in facilities leased by the Registrant in Amsterdam,
New York. All of the Registrant's facilitates are generally utilized on a
full-time five to six day-a-week basis.

     Knitting, dyeing-finishing and printing operations are conducted at the
Registrant's Lincolnton facility. These include warp and raschel knitting,
various types of dyeing, framing, lace separating, sueding, shearing, napping,
calendaring and heat- transfer printing. Dyeing-finishing operations are also
conducted at the Cherryville facility. The Lincolnton and Cherryville facilities
also process and serve as warehouses for greige goods, manufactured and shipped
from the Registrant's Amsterdam and Maiden plants.

     At the Maiden plant facility, the Registrant conducts a variety of
manufacturing operations, including warping for the tricot and lace machines and
single and double knitting of fabrics. The Salisbury facility is the site of the
Registrant's consumer products and institutional products manufacturing, retail
and over-the-counter operations. The Registrant's Amsterdam facilities are
devoted to tricot warping and tricot knitting operations, as well as


                                       3

<PAGE>   6

lace separating and warehousing. Approximately 106,000 square feet in one of the
Registrant's Amsterdam plants is utilized for the production of urethane coated
fabrics and laminating operations.

     The following table sets forth in summary fashion the location of each of
the Registrant's manufacturing facilities, its principal use, approximate floor
space, and, where leased, the lease expiration date. No facility owned by the
Registrant is subject to any encumbrance.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
        FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     1994 Compared to 1993

     Net sales for the 1994 fiscal year were $189,753,000 as compared to
$189,586,000 in 1993. An increase of 11.2% in fourth quarter shipments offset
the cumulative nine months sales decline that existed at August 27, 1994.
Mid-year customer demand, which had been adversely affected by postponement of
scheduled deliveries by several large customers as well as weak consumer
purchasing at the retail level, strengthened in the final quarter of 1994, which
also contained an extra week. Improved comparative shipments also continued into
December and January of the fiscal year 1995.

     Gross profit margins declined from 20.4% in 1993 to 19.7% in 1994,
primarily as a result of a less profitable product mix. Plant operations were
also adversely impacted by the changed product mix as operating rates at certain
related manufacturing facilities declined from year-ago levels. The effect of
changes in LIFO inventory reserves for the year was negligible.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales,
increased from 8.9% in the prior year to 9.4% as dollar expenditures rose 5.3%
on similar volume. The increase relates primarily to higher consulting fees as
well as sales associated expenses.

     Other income decreased by $917,000 to $2,809,000. Although interest and
dividend income increased by 10% to $3,410,000 (mainly as a result of larger
balances available for investment), losses on marketable securities were
realized in the amount of $473,000 as compared to a gain of $738,000 in 1993. A
series of increases in interest rates by the Federal Reserve Board as well as
expectations by financial markets of continued rising rates resulted in declines
in the market value of portions of the Registrant's investment portfolio.

     Notwithstanding a slight increase in the Federal statutory income tax rate
for fiscal 1994, the overall effective income tax rate declined to 32.7% as
against 33.4% last year. An increase in tax-exempt interest income accounted for
the decline.

     As a result of these aforementioned factors, net income declined by 11.2%,
to $15,093,000 from $17,006,000 in 1993. Earnings per share, which are based
upon the average number of shares outstanding during the year, were $2.44 in
1994 as compared to $2.75 in 1993. There was no stock option related dilution in
either year.


                                       9

<PAGE>   12

     Fourth Quarter 1994 as Compared to Fourth Quarter 1993

     As noted above, sales for the 14 week 1994 fourth quarter increased by
11.2% to $51,841,000 from $46,610,000 a year ago. The increase was entirely
represented by additional units shipped in the period as customer demand
improved in most segments of the Registrant's business.

     Although gross profit as a percentage of sales declined from 21.5% in the
1993 comparative quarter to 20.8% (as a result of a less favorable product mix),
gross profit in dollars increased by $767,000, or 7.7%, as a result of higher
sales volume.

     Net income for the quarter was $4,856,000, or $ .79 per share, as compared
to $4,729,000, or $ .76 per share last year.


     1993 Compared to 1992

     Net sales for the fiscal year ended November 27, 1993 were $189,586,000 as
compared to $189,288,000 in 1992. Improved customer bookings and shipments
during the last three months of the year more than offset the cumulative nine
months sales decline that existed through August 1993. Less units were shipped
in the 1993 fiscal year but a better product mix and higher average unit prices
resulted in approximately equivalent sales volume in both periods. Customer
bookings into the new fiscal 1994 first quarter continue to reflect a strong
comparative sales trend.

     Profit margins were 20.4% in 1993 as against 20.6% in the prior period. In
1992, gross profit was benefited by a reduction in LIFO inventory reserves of
$894,000 as compared to a reduction of $52,000 in the current year. Higher
comparative volume in the Lace, Recreation and Fab Craft Divisions were
accompanied by strong profit margins. This helped offset lower profit margins in
other areas of the Registrant's product lines during the first nine months of
the fiscal year.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses remained relatively constant,
in both years as a percentage of sales, as well as in total dollar expenditures.
Higher sales related salaries and commissions and an increase in the provision
for bad debts were offset by reductions in administrative salaries and expenses.

     Other income rose by 15.6%, or $503,000 in 1993. Interest and dividend
income increased by $246,000 as larger balances available for investment more
than offset lower rates of return. In addition, gains on marketable securities
rose to $738,000 as compared to $494,000 as the Registrant's investment
portfolio benefited by a general interest rate decline during the year.

     Despite an increase in statutory Federal income tax rates in 1993, the
overall effective tax rate for 1993 declined to 33.4% versus 34.4% last year.
Lower effective state income tax rates as well as increased tax-advantaged
investment income accounted for most of the decline.


                                       10

<PAGE>   13

     As a result of these aforementioned factors, net income rose slightly to
$17,006,000, or 9.0% of sales, as compared to $16,917,000, or 8.8%.

     In 1992, the computation of earnings-per-share was affected by a stock
option related dilution of 238,246 shares which was equivalent to $.10 for that
year. Earnings per share for the year after such dilution was $2.65 as compared
to $2.75 in 1993 when such stock option related dilution was not significant.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Registrant's principal source of funds continues to be cash flow
generated from operations (primarily net income). Cash provided by operating
activities in 1994 was $18,587,000 as compared to $18,485,000 and $27,358,000 in
the two prior years. Cash, short term investments, investments
available-for-sale and investments held-to-maturity amounted to $63,801,000 as
at December 3, 1994, compared to $62,688,000 at the end of last year.

     Capital expenditures for the current year increased 49% to $7,365,000
against $4,942,000 in 1993. The Registrant purchased additional dyeing and
finishing equipment for its two finishing plants, computerized control systems
for dyeing and design and high speed knitting equipment in order to service
expanded marketing activities.

     During the year, the Registrant repurchased 221,843 shares of its Common
Stock at an average price of $31.66 per share, for a total outlay of $7,023,000,
of which $3,798,000 was paid subsequent to year-end. Subsequent to year-end, the
Registrant repurchased an additional 26,671 shares at an average price of $31.30
per share. The Registrant intends to continue to purchase its shares of Common
Stock from time-to-time as market conditions warrant and price criteria are met.

     During the year, the Registrant commenced the payment of dividends on a
quarterly basis. Total dividends paid amounted to $ .64 for the year.

     Stockholders equity rose to $129,533,000, or $21.52 book value per share,
from $124,326,000, or $19.98 per share, at the previous year-end.

     Management believes that the current financial position of the Registrant
is more than adequate to internally fund any future expenditures to maintain,
modernize and expand its manufacturing facilities, pay dividends and make
acquisitions for textile- related businesses if criteria relating to
indebtedness, market expansion and existing management are met.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 115 in May 1993,
Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities ("Statement
115"). Statement 115 addresses accounting and reporting for investments in
equity securities that have readily determinable fair values and for all
investments in debt securities. Investments in such securities are to be
classified as either held-to-maturity, trading or available-for-sale. Statement
115 was adopted by the Registrant in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended
December 3, 1994. Adoption of Statement 115 did not have a material effect on
the Registrant's financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


The Board of Directors
Fab Industries, Inc.
New York, New York


We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Fab Industries, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of December 3, 1994 and November 27, 1993 and the related
consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 3, 1994.  We have also audited
the schedule listed in the index on page S-2.  These consolidated financial
statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and schedule
are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements and schedule.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and schedule.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fab Industries,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 3, 1994 and November 27, 1993, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 3, 1994 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Also, in our opinion, the schedule presents fairly, in all material respects,
the information set forth therein.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BUSINESS                         

Fab Industries, Inc. (the "Company") is a major manufacturer of knitted textile
fabrics, laces and finished home products as well as polyurethane coated
fabrics. Sales of textile products comprised substantially all of the Company's
sales in 1994, 1993 and 1992, and such sales were primarily made to United
States customers. Accordingly, the Company considers itself to be operating in a
single segment business.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. Significant intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated.
                                 
FISCAL YEAR

The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to November 30.
Fiscal 1994 had fifty-three weeks, and fiscal 1993 and 1992 had fifty-two weeks.

CREDIT RISK                      

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of
credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, investment
securities, and trade receivables. The Company places its cash and cash
equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions. By policy, the
Company limits the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution
and determines that, with respect to investment securities, each custodian
maintains appropriate insurance coverage to protect the Company's investment
portfolio. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are
limited due to the diverse group of manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers to
whom the Company sells (see Note 13). The Company reviews a customer's credit
history before extending credit. The Company has established an allowance for
doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific
customers, historical trends and other information.

CASH EQUIVALENTS 

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less        
to be cash equivalents.
        
                                                                            F-11

                                                                AND SUBSIDIARIES
                                                  SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

INVESTMENTS                     

Effective as of the fourth quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company adopted Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 (SFAS 115), "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". SFAS 115 addresses accounting and
reporting for investments in equity securities that have readily determinable
fair values and for all investments in debt securities. Investments in such
securities are to be classified as either held-to-maturity, trading, or
available-for-sale. The Company currently does not have trading securities.
Investment securities classified as held-to-maturity are those securities which
the Company has the intent and the ability to hold to maturity. These securities
are carried at cost adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of
discount. Premium is amortized and discount is accreted on the straight-line
basis, which approximates the level-yield method over the maturity period of the
related securities. Investment securities classified as available-for-sale are
carried at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses, net of any tax
effect, recorded as a separate component of stockholders' equity. 

Gains and losses on sales of investment securities are computed using the
specific identification method. 
        
The cumulative effect of adopting SFAS 115 was not material.
        
INVENTORIES                     

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. For a majority of the
inventories, cost is determined by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method with the
balance being determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, which
approximates replacement cost (see Note 3).

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using
principally the straight-line method. The range of estimated useful lives is 15
to 33 years for buildings and building improvements, 4 to 10 years for machinery
and equipment, 10 years for leasehold improvements and 5 years for trucks (see
Note 4).

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS 

Research and development costs are charged to expenses in the year incurred and
amounted to $4,347,000, $3,824,000 and $3,659,000 in 1994, 1993 and 1992,
respectively.

                                                                            F-12

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TAXES ON INCOME                

The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS
109),"Accounting for Income Taxes". Provision is made for deferred income taxes
which result from various temporary differences, mainly relating to the use of
accelerated depreciation for tax purposes (see Note 9).

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share has been computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents
outstanding during the period.

REVENUE                          
RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes substantially all of its revenues upon shipment of the
related goods. Allowances for estimated returns are provided when sales are
recorded.

RECLASSIFICATION                

Certain 1993 and 1992 balances were reclassified to conform with the 1994
presentation.



                                                                            F-13

6.  STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS

STOCK OPTION PLAN
          

Under the Company's 1987 stock option plan, the Company may grant to key
employees either nonqualified or incentive stock options to purchase up to a
maximum of 650,000 shares of common stock at the fair market value at the date
of the grant. 

During fiscal 1994, options covering 10,000 shares were granted; no options
were granted in fiscal 1993 or 1992. During fiscal 1994, 1993 and 1992 options
covering 15,800, 246,300 and 13,900 shares, respectively, were exercised and
during the same period options for 13,400, 1,700 and 4,800 shares were
cancelled. 
        
As of the end of fiscal 1994 and 1993, respectively, the Company had
outstanding incentive stock options for the purchase of 187,400 and 206,600
shares; 167,000 and 163,600 shares were still available for future grants. The
exercise prices range from $15.44 to $33.88 per share, expiring at various
dates from 1995 to 2003.
        
RESTRICTED STOCK PLAN

During 1991, the Company approved a restricted stock plan which awarded 60,000
shares of common stock previously held in its treasury to key employees. Shares
are awarded in the name of the employee, who has all rights of a shareholder,
subject to certain restrictions or forfeiture. Vesting occurs over a five-year
period from the date the shares were awarded. Dividends associated with the
shares will be held by the Company and will vest over the same five-year period.

The shares were recorded at their quoted market value at the date of grant of
$26 per share, or $1,560,000. The compensation element related to the awarding
of such shares is recognized ratably over the five-year restriction period.

During 1994, an additional 1,000 shares were awarded to a key employee, under
terms similar to those described above.

                                                                            F-19

Compensation expense related to the above restricted shares for fiscal 1994,
1993 and 1992 was $315,000, $312,000 and $312,000, respectively.

7.  STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN  

During 1990, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a Stockholder Rights Plan
("Rights Plan"). The Rights Plan was subsequently amended in May 1991, following
a 2 for 1 stock split. In connection with the Rights Plan, as amended, the
Company declared a dividend of one-half share purchase right (a "Right") on each
of its common shares. Each Right entitles the holders to buy from the Company
one-half of a common share for every share owned at an exercise price of $60 per
share. The Rights have a term of ten years and can only become exercisable upon
Board of Directors' approval if a person or group acquires 20% of more of the
Company's common shares, or announces that it intends to commence a tender offer
which would result in the ownership of 30% or more of the common shares as
defined in the Rights Plan. Until they become exercisable, the Rights will be
evidenced by the Common Stock certificates and will be transferred only with
such certificates. The Company is entitled to redeem the Rights at $.01 per
Right at any time prior to the Rights' becoming exercisable. Upon an acquisition
or similar transaction, the Rights will become exercisable at a 50% discount for
Common Shares of an acquiring person. The Rights attach to all of the Company's
common shares outstanding as of June 6, 1990, or subsequently issued, and expire
on June 6, 2000.

                                                                            F-20

8.  BENEFIT PLANS                 

PROFIT SHARING PLANS

A qualified plan, which covers the majority of salaried employees, provides for
discretionary contributions up to a maximum of 15% of eligible salaries. The
distribution of the contribution to the Plan's participants is based upon their
annual base compensation. Contributions for 1994, 1993 and 1992 were $538,000,
$633,000 and $591,000, respectively. 

The Company established in 1990 a nonqualified, defined contribution retirement
plan for key employees who are ineligible for the salaried employees qualified
profit sharing plan. Contributions for 1994, 1993 and 1992 were $156,000,
$189,000 and $192,000, respectively. 
        
PENSION PLAN 

The Company's defined benefit plan covers all eligible hourly production
employees. The benefits are based on years of service. Contributions are
intended to provide not only for benefits attributed to service to date but
also for those expected to be earned in the future. 
        
The net periodic pension cost of the defined benefit plan for 1994, 1993 and
1992 is as follows (in thousands):

EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

On November 25, 1991, the Company established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan
(ESOP) which covers all full time employees who have completed one year of
service. On December 18, 1991, the ESOP purchased 340,000 shares of common stock
from the Chairman of the Board/President of the Company for $34.875 per share,
which represented 5.5% of the Company's then outstanding common stock. The ESOP
was funded by the Company, pursuant to a loan pledge agreement dated December
18, 1991 for $11,857,000. The loan is payable by the ESOP to the Company from
contributions to be made in fifteen equal annual principal installments plus
interest at the prime rate. Employee rights to the common shares vest over a
seven-year period and are payable at retirement, death, disability or
termination of employment. 

Annual principal installments of $790,000 plus interest at prime were paid by
the ESOP to the Company on August 2, 1994, August 2, 1993 and August 3, 1992.
The balance on the ESOP indebtedness of $9,487,000 is reflected as a reduction
of the Company's stockholders' equity in the consolidated balance sheet. 

ESOP contributions are recorded for financial reporting purposes as the ESOP
shares become allocable to the Plan participants. All ESOP shares are considered
outstanding in the determination of earnings per share. 

The portion of the common stock dividends declared relating to ESOP shares
totaled $216,000, $217,000 and $170,000 for fiscal 1994, 1993 and 1992,
respectively. Of these amounts, $50,000, $33,000 and $12,000 for 1994, 1993 and
1992, respectively, related to allocated shares and $166,000, $184,000 and
$158,000 for 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, related to unallocated shares.
The dividends related to the unallocated shares are being applied towards the
$790,000 annual principal installments referred to above.

                                                                            F-23

following his death, plus the $3 million proceeds from insurance on his life for
which the Company is the beneficiary.
