          1993 compared to 1992

             Net  sales from  continuing  operations in  1993  increased  to
          $1,000.1 million  in 1993,  compared to $981.8  million in  1992.
          The  1.9%  increase  was   due  primarily  to  increased  volume.
          Although  there  were some  improvements  in  sales mix,  average
          selling prices in 1993 were lower than 1992.

             Operating  income  as a  percent  of  sales  was  5.3% in  1993
          compared to  6.2% in 1992.  Operating  income was reduced 1.0% in
          1993  due to $10 million of restructuring charges and .2% in 1992
          by $2 million  of nonrecurring items (see Note 4  of the Notes to
          Consolidated  Financial Statements).   The  restructuring charges
          for 1993 include  $8 million for  the cost  of a voluntary  early
          retirement  program  which  was  accepted by  184  employees  and
          severance  for additional  staff reductions,  and $2  million for
          direct  non-recurring  expenses   incurred  by  the   Company  in
          evaluating the  purchase of the capital stock of Amoskeag Company
          ("Amoskeag").  These expenses did  not contribute to the ultimate
          consummation  of  the  tender offer  to  acquire  Amoskeag.   The
          acquisition of  Amoskeag  was  accounted  for as  a  purchase  of
          treasury stock  and is  not expected to  affect future  operating
          income.   Before these adjustments  operating income as a percent
          of sales was 6.3%  in 1993 compared to 6.4% in 1992.  Despite the
          increase in sales volume,  operating income has not risen  due to
          continued competitive pressures on selling prices.

             Selling, general  and administrative expenses  as a percent  of<PAGE>


          sales decreased  from 10.4% in 1992  to 10.2% in 1993.   The 1992
          expenses include $2 million of costs related to the consolidation
          of certain sales offices in New York City.   Without these costs,
          selling,  general and  administrative  expenses as  a percent  of
          sales during  1992 and  1993 would  have  been approximately  the
          same.



                                          2


             Interest  expense  decreased   $6.4  million  in  1993.     The
          redemption  of $100 million of 13.5% Debentures in July 1992 with
          the proceeds from the sale of 1.5 million shares of Common  Stock
          and $85 million of 11.25% Debentures reduced interest expenses by
          approximately  $2.5  million  and  the  remaining   $3.9  million
          reduction of interest expense was primarily due to a reduction of
          debt with  the  proceeds from  the  sale of  the carpet  and  rug
          division in July 1993.

             The effective  income tax rate was  44.3% in  1993, compared to
          41.0% in 1992.  The increase  in the effective income tax rate is
          due primarily to the increase in the federal statutory income tax
          rate from 34% to 35% and a related $1.4  million non-cash expense
          to adjust existing deferred tax balances arising from differences
          in  the  book  and   tax  bases  of  the  Company's   assets  and
          liabilities.   See Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
          Statements.

             Income  from continuing  operations  before  accounting changes
          was  $15.0 million or $1.24  per share in  1993 compared to $15.7
          million or $1.39 per share in 1992.  Income from the discontinued
          carpet and  rug division was  $3.2 million  or $.27 per  share in
          1993 compared  to $4.7 million  or $.42 per  share in 1992.   The
          carpet and rug division was sold in July 1993 and a $15.1 pre-tax
          gain on the disposition increased net income $9.2 million or $.78
          per share.   The Company adopted FAS  106, "Employers' Accounting
          for  Postretirement Benefits  other than  Pensions" and  FAS 109,
          "Accounting for Income  Taxes", effective January  1, 1993.   The
          cumulative effect  of these  accounting changes reduced  1993 net
          income by  $70.3 million or $5.99 per share.  After the effect of
          accounting  changes a  net loss  of $42.9  million, or  $3.70 per
          share, was incurred in 1993.

             Significant  changes   in  the   Company's  capital   structure
          occurred during  1993 as a result  of the sale of  the carpet and
          rug division, the issuance of  1.5 million shares of  convertible
          preferred  stock and the acquisition of 3.6 million shares of the
          Company's common stock with  the purchase of Amoskeag.   Assuming
          that all of these  transactions had occurred as of  the beginning
          of 1993 and excluding the non-recurring restructuring charges and
          income  tax adjustment  referred to  above, proforma  1993 income
          from continuing  operations  was $2.15  per  common share.    For
          additional  information see Note 11  of the Notes to Consolidated
          Financial Statements.<PAGE>

          1992 compared to 1991

             Net  sales from  continuing  operations in  1992  increased  to
          $981.8  million,  compared to  $960.6  million  in  1991.    This
          improvement  in bed  and  bath product  sales  represents a  2.2%
          increase over 1991 sales.


             Operating  income as  a  percent  of sales  increased  to  6.2%
          compared to 4.1% in 1991.

             Higher operating income in the  bed and bath  division resulted
          principally from  lower cotton costs, increased  sales volume and
          related  higher mill activity levels.  Results for 1992 include a
          $3.5  million pre-tax charge to  provide for the  cost of closing
          and disposing of  a towel manufacturing  facility in York,  South
          Carolina.   Production from this facility has been transferred to
          other Company towel  plants without a reduction  in overall towel
          production capacity.  The Company also  recognized a $1.5 million
          pre-tax  credit   in  1992   from  the  adjustment   of  reserves
          established  in  1990  for  discontinuing the  automatic  blanket
          operations which were no longer required.  The combined effect of
          the  two non-recurring  items  reduced operating  income by  $2.0
          million and  net income by $1.2  million, or $.11 per  share.  An
          increase in wages and other cost increases were partially  offset
          by savings realized from the Company's cost reduction efforts.

             Selling, general  and administrative expenses  as a percent  of
          sales increased from 9.6% in 1991 to 10.4% in 1992.  The increase
          was due  primarily to higher selling  expenses experienced during
          1992  including $2 million of  costs related to the consolidation
          of certain sales offices in New York City.

             Interest expense decreased  $2.8 million in 1992 due  primarily
          to  the redemption of the 13.5% Debentures  on July 10, 1992 with
          the proceeds from  the sale of both 1.5 million  shares of Common
          Stock at $17.75 per  share and $85 million of  11.25% Debentures.
          Interest  expense was also reduced by the repayment of other debt
          with cash flows from operating activities.

             The effective  income tax rate was  41.0% in  1992, compared to
          61.0% in  1991.  The decrease in the effective income tax rate is
          due primarily  to basis  adjustments in acquired  companies which
          did not  change with  increases or  decreases  in pre-tax  income
          under APB  11.   For additional  information see Note  14 of  the<PAGE>


          Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

             Income from  continuing operations  before extraordinary charge
          was  $15.7 million or  $1.39 per share  in 1992 compared  to $1.4
          million or  $.13 per share in 1991.  Income from the discontinued
          carpet and rug  division was  $4.7 million or  $.42 per share  in
          1992  compared to  $1.8 million  or $.17  per share  in 1991.   A
          prepayment premium of $5.4 million on the early retirement of the
          Company's  13.5% Debentures  and the  write-off  of approximately
          $3.0  million   of  deferred  financing  costs   related  to  the
          Debentures and the  old revolving credit facility  resulted in an
          after-tax  extraordinary  charge of  $5.2  million,  or $.46  per
          share.    Net  income   after  discontinued  operations  and  the
          extraordinary charge was $15.2 million, or $1.35 per share.

          LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

             The Company's  primary  capital  requirements are  for  working
          capital,  principally  inventory  and  accounts  receivable,  and
          capital  expenditures.   The  Company  historically has  financed
          these  requirements, including  its working  capital requirements
          which follow  a seasonal pattern,  with funds generated  from its
          operations and  through  borrowings under  its  revolving  credit
          agreements.

             The table below summarizes for  the continuing business  of the
          Company cash  provided by operating and  financing activities and

             Working  capital  requirements  increased  in  1993  primarily
          because  accounts receivables  increased  by  $13.1  million  and
          inventories  increased  by  $10.6  million  after  excluding  the
          effects of disposition of discontinued operations.  Cash provided
          by working  capital increased in 1992  primarily because accounts
          receivables  decreased $10.8  million  and  accounts payable  and
          accrued liabilities increased by $1.0 million.

             On November 24, 1993 the Company  completed a tender offer  for
          all of the  outstanding shares  of Amoskeag for  an aggregate  of
          approximately  $141.7 million.   The  purchase was  financed with
          $72.4  million of net proceeds  from the issuance  of 1.5 million
          shares of $3.00 Convertible Preferred Stock  and the balance with
          borrowings under the  Company's revolving credit  facility.   The
          preferred stock  has  an  annual  dividend  requirement  of  $4.5
          million.  Amoskeag owned 3,606,400 shares of the Company's common
          stock  which has  been  assigned a  cost  of $117.2  million  and
          treated  as the purchase of treasury stock.  The remaining assets
          of Amoskeag have been valued  at their net realizable value.   At
          December  31, 1993,  such  assets held  for  sale totalled  $32.5
          million and are expected to be a source of cash during 1994.
             Total  debt as  a percent  of total  capitalization (long-term
          debt,  short-term  debt  and  shareowners'  equity)  was  61%  at
          December 31, 1993, compared to 57% at the end of 1992.
             Capital expenditures  totalled $21.6  million in 1993  compared
          to $20.7 million spent  in 1992.   The Company also entered  into
          operating  lease  agreements  with  a  financial  institution for
          certain new  manufacturing and warehouse equipment  having a fair
          market value of approximately  $8 million in 1993 and  $9 million
          in  1992.   Capital  expenditures for  1994  are expected  to  be
          approximately $50  million. Included in the  1994 expenditures is
          the start of a  three-year $90 million capital project  for a new
          weaving plant  at the Company's Columbus,  Ga./Phoenix City, Ala.
          towel mill.  It  is anticipated that financing of  future capital
          expenditures will  be provided  by  cash flows  from  operations,
          borrowings  under the  Company's revolving credit  facility, and,
          possibly, the sale of long-term debt or equity securities.
             The Company's revolving credit  facility allows the  Company to
          borrow up to  $150 million.   The Company  elected to reduce  the
          facility  to  $150 million  from  $235 million  in  November 1993
          because of reduced borrowing requirements.  The Company  uses its
          revolving  credit facility  for long-term  debt purposes  and its
          seasonal  borrowing  requirements during  the  year.   Short-term
          borrowings  are  required during  the  year  to finance  seasonal
          increases  in inventories and  receivables.   The Company  has an<PAGE>
          interest rate  cap covering a total notional  principal amount of
          $50 million to hedge a portion  of its exposure to changes in the
          cost of its variable rate revolving credit debt.  The $.5 million
          cost of the interest rate  cap is being amortized over the  three
          year life  of the agreement ending in  the first quarter of 1996.
          The cap agreement provides for a quarterly payment to the Company
          when the  reference 3-month Euromarket-based rate  exceeds the 6%
          cap rate.  No payments were received during 1993.
             At  December  31,  1993,  the  revolving  credit  facility  was
          secured by a  first lien  on substantially all  of the  Company's
          assets and bore interest,  at the Company's option, at  the prime
          rate fixed by The  First National Bank of Boston plus 1%, or at a
          Euromarket-based rate plus  2.5%.   In March  1994 the  revolving
          credit facility  was  amended  to  reduce the  interest  rate  on
          borrowings, at the Company's  option, to the prime rate  fixed by
          The  First National Bank of Boston, or at a Euromarket-based rate
          plus  1%.   The  amendment  also  extended the  facility  through
          January 6, 1998 and removed the  lien on the Company's plant  and
          equipment.





                                          6
             The revolving  credit facility  requires,  among other  things,
          that the Company maintain certain financial ratios with regard to
          working capital, interest  coverage, funded debt  and net  worth.
          It also  limits the amount of  dividends that may be  paid by the
          Company  during any twelve-month period  to the lesser  of 40% of
          the Company's net income during the immediately preceding  twelve
          months or $15 million and contains additional financial covenants
          which  may further  restrict the  ability of  the Company  to pay
          dividends.  The  agreement places restrictions  on the  Company's
          ability to incur debt  or liens, to make certain  investments and
          to effect certain mergers, consolidations  or sales of assets  or
          changes in control.

             At  December  31,  1993,  borrowings  under  the  $150  million
          revolving term debt  agreement totalled $76.4  million and  $73.6
          million of the facility was available and unused.

             As of December 31, 1993 the  Company lowered its discount  rate
          from 8.25% to  7.25% for valuing its  accumulated pension benefit
          obligations under  FAS 87, "Employers'  Accounting for  Pensions"
          and its accumulated postretirement health care and life insurance
          benefit obligations  under FAS  106,  "Employers' Accounting  for
          Postretirement Benefits other than Pensions".  The lower discount
          rate  of 7.25%  results  in a  higher  value for  the  calculated
          obligations and will result in higher expenses in 1994 than would
          have  been provided with the  previous 8.25% discount  rate.  The
          increase  in expense  is not  expected to  materially  affect the
          Company's future operating results or financial condition.

          shares during 1993 and the issuance of shares during 1992.<PAGE>


             The first quarter  of 1993  includes the cumulative  effect of  the
          changes in  accounting principles related to  the Company's accounting
          for  income taxes  and post-retirement  benefits other  than pensions,
          effective January 1, 1993,  which reduced net income by  $70.3 million
          or  $5.86  per  share.   Fully  diluted  earnings  per  share are  not
          presented for the quarter as the effects are anti-dilutive.

             The third  quarter of 1993  includes restructuring  charges of  $10
          million which  reduced after-tax income from  continuing operations by
          $6.1  million and $1.4 million  of additional income  taxes due to the
          increase  in the  statutory  federal income  tax  rate.   These  items
          reduced income  from  continuing operations  and  net income  by  $7.5
          million, or $.62  per share.   Discontinued operations  for the  third
          quarter of 1993 includes a gain from disposition of the carpet and rug
          division which increased income  by $9.2 million, or $.76  per primary
          share.

             The second  quarter of  1992 included an  extraordinary charge  for
          early retirement of debt which  reduced net income for the quarter  by
          $5.2 million,  or $.49 per primary share.   Fully diluted earnings per
          share for  the quarter  are not  presented  as the  effects are  anti-
          dilutive.

             The fourth quarter of  1992 included a $3.5 million  pre-tax charge
          for closing and disposing of a towel manufacturing facility and a $1.5
          million pre-tax credit from adjustment of reserves established in 1990
          for  discontinuing  the automatic  blanket  operations  which were  no
          longer required.  The  combined effect of the two  non-recurring items
          reduced net income for the quarter by $1.2 million, or $.10 per share.

            Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
          Tabular Amounts in thousands except per share

          (1) Significant Accounting Policies

             Basis of  presentation - The  consolidated financial statements
          include  the accounts of the  Company and its  subsidiaries.  All
          significant  intercompany  accounts  and transactions  have  been
          eliminated in consolidation.  Certain prior year  items have been
          reclassified to conform to the 1993 presentation.

             The  Company   operates  in   the  textile   industry  and   is
          principally  involved  in  the  manufacture  and  sale  of   home
          furnishings products.   These sales are  primarily to  department
          stores, mass retailers, specialty stores and large chain  stores.
          Sales to  one  customer  (Wal-Mart  Stores  and  its  affiliates)
          represented  17.4%, 16.0% and 15.5% of total sales of the Company
          in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.

             Inventories -  Inventories are  valued at  the  lower of  cost,
          determined principally on a last-in, first-out basis, or market.

             Depreciation   -  Buildings,   machinery  and   equipment   are
          depreciated for financial reporting purposes on the straight line
          method  over   the  estimated  useful  lives   of  these  assets.
          Depreciation  for  tax purposes  is  provided  on an  accelerated
          basis.

             Deferred financing  fees -  Debt financing  fees are  amortized
          over the term of the related debt.

             Interest rate caps  - The Company has  a program to reduce  its
          exposure to changes in  the cost of its variable  rate borrowings
          by  the use  of interest rate  cap agreements.   The  cost of the
          interest rate cap agreement is deferred and amortized as interest
          expense over the periods covered by the agreement.

             Income  taxes  -  The   Company  adopted  Financial  Accounting
          Standards Board Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income  Taxes"
          (FAS  109), effective January 1,  1993.  Under  FAS 109, deferred
          income taxes are recognized, at enacted tax rates, to reflect the
          future income tax effect of reported differences between the book
          and  tax bases of the  Company's assets and liabilities, assuming
          they will  be realized and  settled, respectively, at  the amount
          reported  in the Company's financial statements.  See Note 14 for
          additional information. 

             Income per common share - Primary  earnings per common share is
          based on net income after preferred dividend requirements and the
          weighted average number  of shares  of Common Stock  and Class  B
          Common  Stock  outstanding  during  the  year  and  common  stock
          equivalents attributable  to outstanding  stock  options.   Fully
          diluted  earnings  per  common  share   are  calculated  assuming
          conversion,  when dilutive,  of the  6%  convertible subordinated<PAGE>



          sinking fund debentures and the $3 Series A Convertible Preferred
          Stock.  Fully diluted income  from continuing operations and  net
          income per common share  for 1993 and  1992 are not presented  as
          effects are anti-dilutive.
                                          12

          (2) Discontinued Operations
             On July 30, 1993  the Company completed the  sale of its carpet
          and  rug operations to Mohawk  Industries, Inc.  Accordingly, the
          carpet  and  rug results  have  been  classified as  discontinued
          operations in the Statement of Income for  all periods presented.
          Results of  operations for the carpet and  rug operations include
          an allocation of  corporate interest  based on net  assets.   The
          sale resulted  in a  $15.1 million  pre-tax gain  which increased
          after-tax net income by $9.2 million, or $.78 per share, in 1993.
          Summary financial results for  the discontinued operations are as
          follows:
          <TABLE>

          </TABLE>
          (3)  Acquisition and Merger with Amoskeag Company
             On  November   24,  1993  a  newly  formed  and  wholly  owned
          subsidiary of the Company completed a tender offer for all of the
          outstanding shares  of Amoskeag  Company ("Amoskeag") for  a cash
          price of $40 per  share, or an aggregate of  approximately $141.9
          million  including  certain  costs.   The  acquisition  has  been
          accounted  for as a purchase by the  Company of the net assets of
          Amoskeag held  for sale at their net realizable values and as the
          purchase of treasury stock.   Amoskeag owned 3,606,400 shares  of
          the  Company's common  stock which  has been  assigned a  cost of
          $117.2 million after a preliminary allocation of $24.7 million to
          the  net assets of  Amoskeag.  The  Company is in  the process of
          selling all of the operating assets of Amoskeag and the valuation
          includes  anticipated costs  during a  one year  disposal period.
          These  assets are primarily the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad and
          certain real estate properties. 
          (4) Restructuring Charges
             Concurrent with the purchase of the capital  stock of Amoskeag
          Company the Company  implemented a number  of programs to  reduce
          overhead and  cut costs in  1993.  As  a result of  this process,
          restructuring charges were incurred in 1993 which reduced pre-tax
          operating  income  by $10  million.    The restructuring  charges
          include $8 million for  the cost of a voluntary  early retirement
          program which  was accepted  by 184 employees  and severance  for
          additional  staff  reductions, and  $2  million  for direct  non-
          recurring  expenses incurred  by  the Company  in evaluating  the
          purchase  of  the  capital  stock  of  Amoskeag Company.    These
          expenses did  not contribute to the ultimate  consummation of the
          tender offer  to acquire Amoskeag Company.  These charges reduced<PAGE>

          net income by $6.1 million, or $.52 per share.
             Results  for 1992  include a  $3.5 million  pre-tax  charge to
          provide  for the  cost  of  closing  and  disposing  of  a  towel
          manufacturing facility in York,  South Carolina.  Production from
          this facility has been transferred to other Company towel  plants
          without a  reduction in overall  towel production capacity.   The
          Company  also reduced  the  reserves it  established  in 1990  to
          provide for  discontinuing  its  automatic  blanket  facility  by
          recognizing  a pre-tax  credit  of $1.5  million  in 1992.    The
          combined effect of the non-recurring items reduced net income for
          the year by $1.2 million, or $.11 per share.      13 

          (5) Inventories

          Inventories  are  valued  at the  lower  of  cost  or market  and
          consisted of the following at December 31:
          <TABLE>
          <CAPTION>
                                                1993         1992

          </TABLE>

          Approximately  76% of the inventories at year-end 1993 and 79% at
          year-end  1992  were  valued  on the  last-in,  first-out  method
          (LIFO).  If the first-in, first-out method of accounting had been
          used, inventories  would have  been greater by  approximately $33
          million  and  $39  million   at  December  31,  1993  and   1992,
          respectively.    The  LIFO  reserve  for  continuing   operations
          increased  $2.8  million in  1993 and  decreased $9.6  million in
          1992.

          Short-term  debt at  December  31,  1992,  of $14.1  million  was
          borrowed under a $25 million bank credit facility for the purpose
          of financing the purchase  of raw cotton and wool.   The facility
          was repaid and cancelled during 1993.

               The Company's revolving  credit facility allows the Company  to
          borrow  up to $150 million through January 3, 1996.  Accordingly,
          borrowings under the revolving  credit facility are classified as
          long-term  debt.  The Company  elected to reduce  the facility to
          $150  million  from  $235  million in  November  1993  because of
          reduced borrowing requirements.   Interest rates on the revolving
          term debt are,  at the Company's option, at  the prime rate fixed
          by The First National Bank of Boston plus 1%, or at a Euromarket-
          based rate plus 2.5%.  The average interest rate on the revolving<PAGE>
          term debt was 6.3% on December 31, 1993.
             The Company has a program to reduce its exposure  to changes in
          the  cost of its variable rate revolving credit borrowings by the
          use  of interest rate  cap agreements.  At  December 31, 1993 the
          Company has  an  interest  rate  cap covering  a  total  notional
          principal amount  of $50 million.   The $.5  million cost of  the
          interest rate cap  is being amortized over the three year life of
          the  agreement ending  in the  first quarter  of 1996.   The  cap
          agreement  provides for a  quarterly payment to  the Company when
          the reference 3-month  Euromarket based rate  exceeds the 6%  cap
          rate.
             The  revolving credit facility  is secured  by a  first lien on
          substantially  all of  the Company's  assets and  requires, among
          other things, that the Company maintain certain financial  ratios
          with regard to  working capital, interest  coverage, funded  debt
          and  net worth.  It also limits  the amount of dividends that may
          be paid by  the Company to the lesser of 40% of the Company's net
          income during  the immediately  preceding  twelve months  or  $15
          million and  contains additional  financial  covenants which  may
          further  restrict the  ability of  the Company to  pay dividends.
          The revolving term debt agreement also places restrictions on the
          Company's  ability  to  incur  debt  or liens,  to  make  certain
          investments  and to  effect  certain  mergers, consolidations  or
          sales of assets or changes in control.

             On June  25,  1992, the  Company  sold  $85 million  of  11.25%
          Senior Subordinated Debentures  due 2004.   The proceeds of  this
          offering  plus additional  amounts from  a Common  Stock offering
          were used  to redeem the  $100 million 13.5%  Senior Subordinated
          Debentures due 2001.  A prepayment premium of $5.4 million on the
          early retirement  of the 13.5%  debentures and  the write-off  of
          approximately $3.0 million of deferred financing costs related to
          the debentures and  the old revolving credit facility resulted in
          an after-tax  extraordinary charge of  $5.2 million, or  $.46 per
          share.
             The  Company's   6%  Convertible   Subordinated  Sinking   Fund
          Debentures  are convertible  into shares  of Common Stock  of the
          Company at a conversion price of $44.25 per share.
             At December  31,  1993, the  fair  value  of the  Company's  6%
          Convertible Subordinated  Debentures was $103.4  million compared
          to  a carrying value  of $125 million  and the fair  value of the
          11.25% Subordinated Debentures  was $94.4 million  compared to  a
          carrying value of $85 million.  The fair value of the  debentures
          is based on quoted market prices.  Differences between fair value
          and  carrying  value  of  the  Company's  other  debt  were   not
          significant.
             The aggregate principal and  sinking fund payments  required to
          be  made  on  long-term  debt  during  each  of  the  five  years
          subsequent  to December 31, 1993 are:  1994, $8.4  million; 1995,
          $2.3 million; 1996,  $78.0 million; 1997, $7.8 million  and 1998,
          $7.8 million.

             The  Company leases  certain  real  estate and  equipment under
          various operating  leases.  Listed  below are the  future minimum

            (10) Shareowners' Equity

               In November  1993 the Company's shareowners  authorized 10
            million  shares  of  undesignated  preferred  stock  and  the
            issuance of up to 1.8 million  shares of preferred stock.  On
            November 24,  1993, the Company  sold 1.5  million shares  of
            $3.00 Series A Convertible Preferred  Stock ("$3.00 Preferred
            Stock") in a  private offering and  received net proceeds  of
            $72.4  million.     Each  $3.00  Preferred   Stock  share  is
            convertible into 1.7094 shares of Common Stock, equivalent to
            a  conversion  price of  $29.25  on the  $50  offering price.
            Annual dividends are $3.00 per share and are cumulative.  The
            $3.00 Preferred Stock may be redeemed at the Company's option
            on or  after September 1, 2004,  in whole or in  part, at $50
            per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends.  
            In  the  event  the  Company's  11.25%   Senior  Subordinated
            Debentures  are not  outstanding  or have  been defeased  the
            $3.00 Preferred Stock may  be redeemed, in whole or  in part,
            at the option of the Company, at a redemption price of $51.50
            per  share beginning as of September 10, 1998 and at premiums
            declining  to  the $50  liquidation  preference  by September
            2004.<PAGE>

             On  November  24,  1993,  the  Board  of Directors  adopted  a
          Stockholder Rights Plan and declared a dividend of one  preferred
          stock purchase  right ("right") for each outstanding share of the
          Company's Common Stock.  Similar  rights have been, and generally
          will be, issued in  respect of Common Stock  subsequently issued.
          Each right  becomes exercisable,  upon the occurrence  of certain
          events,  for  one one-hundredth  of a  share  of Series  B Junior
          Participating  Preferred Stock,  $.01  par value,  at a  purchase
          price  of $80 or, in certain circumstances, Common Stock or other
          securities,  cash or other  assets having  a then  current market
          price  (as defined and subject to adjustment) equal to twice such
          purchase  price.   Under  the  Stockholder  Rights Plan,  500,000
          shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock have been
          reserved.  The rights  currently are not exercisable and  will be
          exercisable  only  if  a  person  or  group  acquires  beneficial
          ownership of 15% or  more of the Company's outstanding  shares of
          Common Stock.  The rights, which expire  on December 6, 2003, are
          redeemable in whole, but not in part, at the  Company's option at
          any time for a price of $.02 per right.
             Following  the acquisition  of Amoskeag the  Company converted
          all  shares of  Class B  Common Stock  held by  Amoskeag  into an
          equivalent number of shares of Common Stock.  Under the Company's
          Certificate  of Incorporation,  all remaining  shares of  Class B
          Common  Stock were  automatically  converted  into an  equivalent
          number of shares  of Common  Stock, and no  additional shares  of
          Class  B Common  Stock may  be issued  in the future  without the
          prior approval of the holders of Common Stock.
             The Company has a Director Stock  Option Plan which was adopted
          by the Board of Directors and approved by the shareowners.  Under
          the option plan, an annual grant of an option for 1,000 shares of
          Common Stock is awarded to  each person who is a Director  on the
          fifth  business  day after  the annual  meeting of  shareowners. <PAGE>

          Options  to Directors who are  also employees of  the Company are
          incentive  stock  options  and  to all  others  are  nonqualified
          options.   The price per  share is the  fair market value  on the
          date each  option is granted.   Options  may be  exercised up  to
          seven  years  from the  date  of  grant,  but no  option  may  be
          exercised during the six-month  period following its grant except
          in the  case of death or  disability.  Prior to  an amendment and
          restatement of the plan in 1992, options were granted with a one-
          year life and for 3,000 shares.  The  amendment also extended the
          life  of the  options granted in  1991 to  an expiration  date of
          1998.  Under the option plan, 500,000 shares of Common Stock have
          been  reserved for  awards.   The  following  is an  analysis  of
          options under the Director Stock Option Plan:

             On September  11, 1991,  the Board  of Directors  approved the
          grant of a nonqualified stock option to purchase 20,000 shares of
          Common Stock to the  Company's chief executive officer.   The per
          share price is $14.875, the fair market value on that date.  This

             The Company  has a Long-Term  Incentive Plan (the  Plan) which
          was  adopted  by  the Board  of  Directors  and  approved by  the
          shareowners  in 1988.  Under  the Plan, employees  who are senior
          executives of the Company  may be awarded shares of  Common Stock
          without  cost to  the  employee.   The fair  market value  of the
          shares  at the  date  of  award  is  accounted  for  as  deferred
          compensation and  is amortized  over the  restricted period.   At
          December  31,  1993,  unamortized deferred  compensation  of  $.6
          million is included in shareowners' 
          equity  as a  reduction of  additional paid  in capital.   Awards
          under the Plan are vested after the employee completes four years
          of continuous employment  beginning with the  year for which  the
          award is made.   Vesting occurs prior to completion of four years
          of employment if the employee dies while employed, reaches normal
          retirement  or becomes disabled.   Under the Plan, 650,000 shares
          of Common Stock have been reserved for awards.   The following is

                 Total shares of Common Stock  outstanding as of December 31,

          treasury stock acquired  with the acquisition  of Amoskeag.   The

          shareowners' equity.

          (11)  Pro Forma Earnings Information (unaudited)

               On November  24, 1993 the Company  acquired 3,606,400 shares
          of  common  stock as  treasury  shares  with the  acquisition  of
          Amoskeag and sold 1.5  million shares of $3 Series  A Convertible
          Preferred Stock in a private offering for $72.4 million.  On July
          30,  1993  the Company  sold its  carpet  and rug  operations for
          approximately $120  million  after  income  taxes  and  expenses.
          Income  from continuing  operations was  reduced $6.1  million in
          1993  by a  $10  million pre-tax  restructuring  charge and  $1.4
          million by an income  tax adjustment for the increase  in federal
          income  tax  rates.   Set  forth  below  are  unaudited  proforma
          earnings per share  assuming the transactions had  occurred as of
          the  beginning  of 1993  and  excluding  the non-recurring  items
          incurred during 1993:

            The computation  of proforma income per  share includes dividends
          on the  1.5 million shares  of preferred stock,  reduced interest
          expense  from  reducing the  revolving  credit  facility by  $120
          million from the net proceeds from the sale of the carpet and rug
          operations, and  increased  interest from  additional  borrowings
          under the  revolving  credit  facility of  $68  million  for  the
          acquisition  of Amoskeag.    Historical  income  from  continuing
          operations before  the non-recurring items was  $22.5 million, or
          $1.88 per primary share and $1.82 on a fully diluted basis.

          (12)  Employee Pension and Savings Plans

             The Company has  trusteed pension  plans covering  essentially
          all employees.  The plans provide pension benefits that are based
          on the employees' compensation and service.  The Company's policy
          is to fund amounts required by applicable regulations.

             Pension expense  amounted  to  $13.2  million  in  1993,  $6.1
          million in  1992 and $7.6 million  in 1991.  Net  pension expense
          for 1993, 1992 and 1991 consisted of the following components:

                 For the pension plan with accumulated benefits in  excess of
          assets at  December  31,  1993,  the  Consolidated  Statement  of
          Financial Position  reflects an  additional pension  liability of
          $15.8 million, a long-term intangible asset of $3.6 million and a
          reduction of shareowners' equity of $7.5 million, net of deferred
          tax benefits.
               The Company also sponsors employee savings plans which cover
          substantially all employees.   The Company amended  the plans for
          1993  to provide a Company match of 70% of employee contributions
          up to two percent of compensation  and a match of 20% of employee
          contributions  for the  next two  percent  of compensation.   The
          matching formula may be  changed yearly at the discretion  of the
          Company.  The match  is contributed quarterly in Common  Stock of
          the Company.   Expense of the  Company match was $3.0  million in
          1993. 

          (13)  Postretirement Health Care and Life Insurance Benefits

               The  Company  adopted FAS  106,  "Employers'  Accounting for
          Postretirement  Benefits other than  Pensions", effective January
          1, 1993.  The cumulative effect on prior years  of the accounting
          change was charged to income in 1993 which resulted in a  pre-tax
          charge  of $35.1 million and reduced net income by $21.8 million,
          or $1.86 per share.
               The  Company provides  medical insurance  premium assistance
          and life  insurance benefits to  retired employees.   The medical
          premium assistance payments are at a fixed dollar amount based on
          the retiree's years of service.  Essentially all of the Company's
          employees become  eligible for  these  benefits when  they  reach
          retirement  age while  working for  the Company.    The Company's
          policy is to fund the plans as benefits are paid.
               The  table below sets  forth the  plans' combined  status at
          December 31:

            The   discount  rate   used   in  determining   the   accumulated

          1993  and 8.25%  as  of  December  31,  1992.    Medical  premium
          assistance payments are  at a  fixed dollar amount  based on  the
          retiree's  years  of service  and,  therefore,  the plan  is  not
          affected by a health care cost trend rate assumption.

               Net periodic postretirement benefit cost               $ 2,064
            </TABLE>
                 During 1993  the Company recognized a  curtailment gain with
          the sale of its carpet and rug division.
               Prior to 1993,  the expense associated  with these  benefits
          was recognized on a cash basis when the benefits were  paid.  The
          payments amounted to  $6.2 million  in 1992 and  $5.0 million  in
          1991.

          (14) Income taxes
             The Company adopted  FAS 109, "Accounting  for Income  Taxes",
          effective  January 1, 1993.  The cumulative effect on prior years
          of the accounting change was charged  to net income in 1993 which
          reduced net income by $48.5 million, or $4.13 per share.
             The  adoption  of  FAS 109  changes  the  Company's method  of
          accounting  for income taxes from the deferred method (APB 11) to
          an  asset  and  liability  approach.    Previously,  the  Company
          deferred the  past  income  tax  effects  of  timing  differences
          between financial  reporting and taxable  income.  The  asset and
          liability  approach requires  the recognition of  deferred income
          tax  liabilities  and   assets  for  the   expected  future   tax
          consequences  of  temporary   differences  between  the  carrying
          amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities.
             Under  FAS 109,  assets and  liabilities acquired  in purchase
          business  combinations  are  assigned  their  fair  values,   and
          deferred  taxes are provided for  the lower or  higher tax bases.
          Under APB 11, values  were assigned net-of-tax.  In  adopting FAS
          109,  the Company  adjusted the  carrying amounts  of assets  and
          liabilities acquired in  the Cannon and  Bigelow acquisitions  in<PAGE>
          1986 and  reduced deferred income tax liabilities  to reflect the
          then current federal  tax rate  of 34% as  opposed to the  higher
          federal tax rates  that were  in effect when  the deferred  taxes
          originated.  The carrying amounts have subsequently been adjusted
          to reflect the increase in the federal tax rate to 35%.
             At December  31,  1993,  the  Company  had  $51.3  million  of
          deferred tax  assets and  $101.3 million  of deferred income  tax
          liabilities which  have  been netted  for presentation  purposes.
          The significant  components  of these  amounts  as shown  on  the
          balance sheet are as follows:

          REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

          The Shareowners and
          Board of Directors of
          Fieldcrest Cannon, Inc.

          We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  statement  of
          financial position  of Fieldcrest Cannon, Inc. as of December 31,
          1993 and 1992, and the  related consolidated statements of income
          and retained earnings, and cash flows for each of the three years
          in  the  period  ended  December  31,  1993.     These  financial
          statements are  the responsibility  of the  Company's management.
          Our responsibility is  to express an  opinion on these  financial
          statements 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 are  free of material misstatement.   An
          audit includes examining,  on a test  basis, evidence  supporting
          the  amounts and  disclosures in  the  financial statements.   An
          audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used  and
          significant estimates  made by management, as  well as evaluating
          the overall financial  statement presentation.   We believe  that<PAGE>





          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 consolidated
          financial  position of  Fieldcrest Cannon,  Inc. at  December 31,
          1993 and 1992, and the consolidated results of its operations and
          its cash  flows for each of  the three years in  the period ended
          December  31,   1993,  in  conformity  with   generally  accepted
          accounting principles.

          As explained in  Notes 13  and 14 to  the consolidated  financial
          statements,  effective  January  1,  1993,  the  Company  adopted
          Statement of  Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers'
          Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than  Pensions," and
          Statement of Financial Accounting  Standards No. 109, "Accounting
          for Income Taxes."

          during 1993 and 1992  bank borrowings to finance the  purchase of
          raw  cotton  and wool.   The  revolving  credit facility  is also
          utilized for  long-term financing.   Effective  May 6,  1992, the
          Company obtained  a new  revolving credit facility  which allowed
          the Company to borrow up to $235 million through January 3, 1996.
          The Company elected to  reduce the facility to $150  million from
          $235  million  in  November  1993 because  of  reduced  borrowing
          requirements.  The new facility replaced a $235 million bank term
          debt  agreement  that  would  have  matured  December  31,  1992.
          Accordingly, borrowings under the  revolving credit facility were
          classified as long-term debt  in 1993 and 1992 and  as short-term
          debt in 1991.  Interest rates on the revolving term debt were, at
          the  Company's option,  at  the prime  rate  fixed by  The  First
          National  Bank of Boston plus  1%, or at  a Euromarket-based rate
          plus 2.5%.  The average interest  rate on the revolving term debt
          was 6.3% on December 31, 1993.  

          (2)    The  average  amount  outstanding  during the  period  was
          computed  by averaging  the month-end  balances during  the year.
          The weighted average interest  rate was computed by dividing  the
          interest expense by the average daily amount outstanding.
