4.  Inventories:

    The Company's inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined  principally  by  the  last-in,  first-out  (LIFO)  method  with  the
remainder being determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Because the
inventory valuation under the LIFO method is based upon an annual  determination
of  inventory  levels  and costs as of the fiscal  year-end,  the  interim  LIFO
calculations are based on management's  estimates of expected year-end inventory
levels and costs.

                                          February 26, 2000    November 27, 1999

6.  Segment Information:

         The Company's  chief operating  decision-maker  is considered to be the
Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The Company's CEO evaluates both consolidated and
disaggregated  financial  information in deciding how to allocate  resources and
assess  performance.  The Company has identified three reportable segments based
upon  the  primary  markets  it  serves:  Apparel  Fabrics,  Home  Fashions  and
Accessories and Other.

Apparel Fabrics:  The Company is a major  manufacturer of warp and circular knit
fabrics and raschel  laces.  The  Company's  textile  fabrics are sold to a wide
variety of manufacturers  of ready-to-wear  and intimate apparel for men, women,
and  children,   including   dresses  and  sportswear,   children's   sleepwear,
activewear, swimwear, and recreational apparel.

Home  Fashions  and  Accessories:  The  Company  uses  its own  textile  fabrics
internally to produce 100% cotton jersey  sheets,  flannel and satin sheets,  as
well as blankets,  comforters and other bedding products which the Company sells
to department and specialty stores,  catalogues and mail order companies as well
as airlines and healthcare institutions.  The Company's textile fabrics are also
sold to manufacturers of home furnishings.

Other: The Company produces a line of ultrasonically,  hot melt adhesive,  flame
and adhesive bonded products for apparel, environmental, health care, industrial
and consumer markets. The Company's textile fabrics are sold to manufacturers of
industrial  fabrics and upholstery  fabrics for residential and contact markets.
The Company also sells retail over-the-counter fabrics.

         The  Company  neither  allocates  to the  segments  nor  bases  segment
decisions on the following:

                  - Interest and dividend  income
                  - Interest  expense
                  - Net gain on investment securities
                  - Income tax expense or benefit

        Many of the  Company's  assets  are  used by  multiple  segments.  While
certain  assets  such  as  Inventory  and  Property,  Plant  and  Equipment  are
identifiable by segment,  an allocation of the substantial  remaining  assets is
not meaningful.

7.  Comprehensive Income (Loss):

         Accumulated   other   comprehensive   income  (loss)  is  comprised  of
unrealized  holding  gain  (loss)  related  to  available-for-sale   securities.
Comprehensive  income (loss) was $65,000 and  ($1,927,000) for the quarter ended
February 26, 2000 and February 27, 1999, respectively.


8.  Contingencies:

         A number of claims and lawsuits seeking  unspecified  damages and other
relief are pending  against the Company.  It is  impossible at this time for the
Company to predict with any certainty the outcome of such  litigation.  However,
management is of the opinion based upon information presently available, that it
is unlikely that any liability, to the extent not provided for through insurance
or  otherwise,  would be  material in  relation  to the  Company's  consolidated
financial position.

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


Results of Operations
First Quarter
Fiscal 2000 Compared to Fiscal 1999
- -----------------------------------

         Net sales for the first  quarter  of fiscal  2000 were  $28,339,000  as
compared to  $29,007,000  in the similar 1999 period,  a decrease of $668,000 or
2.3%.   Business  conditions  within  the  domestic  textile  industry  remained
depressed,   and  the  Company  continued  to  experience   competitive   market
conditions,  both domestic and foreign. U.S. firms are forced to compete against
a flood of cheap  imports  and falling  demand for U.S.  goods  overseas.  These
factors have continued to exert downward pressure on the Company's sales levels.
Certain of the Company's products enjoyed stronger customer demand.

         Overall  Company  gross  margins for the quarter  improved to 8.6% from
0.8% last  year.  Margins  were  aided by  improved  product  mix and lower cost
structures.  The Company has intensified its cost control programs.  In the 1999
quarter,  a reduction  in LIFO  reserves  arising  from lower  average FIFO cost
levels benefited margins in the amount of $1,095,000. In the current quarter, no
adjustments to LIFO inventory reserves were required.

         Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses in the current  quarter
decreased  by  $537,000,   or  13.9%.  Reduced  expenses  related  primarily  to
incentive-based  compensation,  lower related salaries and salesmen commissions.
As a percentage of sales, such costs decreased to 11.8% from 13.4%.


                                       14

<PAGE>


         The  effective  income tax rate for the  current  quarter  was 21.2% as
against a tax benefit in the comparative 1999 period.

         As a result  of these  factors,  quarterly  net  income  was  $304,000,
compared to net loss of $(1,815,000) in last year's first quarter.

         For the  current  quarter,  basic and diluted  earnings  per share were
$0.06  compared to basic and diluted  losses of $(0.33) per share in last years'
first quarter.

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

         Operating  activities  provided cash of $4,216,000 and $3,557,000,  for
the 13 weeks ended February 26, 2000 and February 27, 1999 respectively. Of this
increase, $2,119,000 relates to comparative changes in net income, $1,023,000 in
other  current  assets and  $2,895,000 to accounts  payable,  accruals and other
liabilities. These increases were offset by reductions of $4,038,000 in accounts
receivable and $1,292,000 in inventories.

         Capital  expenditures  for  the  quarter  were  approximately  $450,000
compared to approximately $1.5 million in the comparative 1999 first quarter.

         During the quarter, the Company repurchased 50,039 shares of its common
stock at an average price of $11.05. The Company intends to continue to purchase
its shares of common stock from  time-to-time,  as market conditions warrant and
price criteria are met.

         The Company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.175 per share,  payable
April 21, 2000, to stockholders of record as of March 15, 2000.

         Stockholders'  equity was $129,368,000 ($24.16 book value per share) at
February 26, 2000, as compared to $130,788,000,


                                       15

<PAGE>


($24.20 book value per share) at the previous fiscal year-end November 27, 1999,
and  $131,522,000  ($24.29  book value per share) at the end of the  comparative
1999 first quarter.

         Management  believes that the current financial position of the company
is more than adequate to internally  fund any future  expenditures  to maintain,
modernize and expand its manufacturing facilities, and pay dividends.

Pending Accounting Pronouncements
- ---------------------------------

         In June 1998,  the FASB  issued  FAS 133,  "Accounting  for  Derivative
Instruments  and Hedging  Activities",  effective for years beginning after June
15, 1999.  The effective  date has been delayed to June 15, 2000,  the Company's
fiscal year 2001, as a result of the FASB's  issuance in August 1999 of FAS 137,
"Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the
Effective date of FASB Statement No. 133". FAS 133 requires that all derivatives
be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value.  Derivatives that are not hedges
must be adjusted to fair value  through  income.  If the  derivative is a hedge,
depending on the nature of the hedge,  changes in the fair value of  derivatives
are either offset  against the change in the fair value of assets,  liabilities,
or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income
until the hedged item is recognized in earnings.  The  ineffective  portion of a
derivative's  change in fair value will be  immediately  recognized in earnings.
The  Company  has not yet  determined  what the effect of FAS 133 will be on the
earnings and financial position of the Company.
