ITEM 8. CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR
On September 22, 1995, the Board of Directors of Johnston Industries,
Inc. (the "Company") authorized a change in the Company's fiscal year from a
period beginning on July 1 and ending June 30 to a variable period ending on
the Saturday nearest to December 31. Such change will make the Company's
year-end consistent with its quarterly accounting periods which, in the case of

ending on a Saturday. In addition to conforming the Company's yearly and
quarterly accounting period practices, the change in the Company's fiscal year
will conform the Company's fiscal year and annual reporting period more closely

public companies in the textile industry.
