       CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          June 26, 1994
                 (In thousands except share data)

1.  Seasonal Fluctuations -- Results for any portion of a year are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full
year, due to seasonal aspects of the textile industry.

2.  Per Share Information -- Primary net income per share information
has been computed by dividing net income by the weighted average
number of shares of common stock, par value $.02 per share, of the
Company (the "Common Stock") and Common Stock equivalents outstanding during
the periods. The average shares used in computing primary net income per
share for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 26, 1994 and June 27, 1993 were
13,764,000 and 13,674,000, respectively.  The average shares used in computing
primary net income per share for the thirteen week periods ended June 26, 
1994 and June 27, 1993 were 13,845,000 and 13,729,000, respectively.

    Fully diluted income per share information also considers as applicable
(i) the dilutive effect, if any, assuming that the Company's convertible
debentures were converted at the beginning of the current fiscal period, with
earnings being increased by the interest expense, net of income taxes, that
would not have been incurred had conversion taken place and (ii) any additional
dilutive effect for stock options and restricted stock grants.  The average
shares used in computing fully diluted net income per share for the
thirty-nine weeks ended June 26, 1994 and June 27, 1993 were 16,031,000 and

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations

     Sales for the first nine months of the current fiscal year decreased 
$6.3 million from the comparable period of the previous year.  Sales for the 
third quarter decreased $8.7 million from the comparable period of the 
previous year.  

     During the first nine months of the fiscal year, sales in the automotive 
and upholstery business unit continued to grow strongly and increased from 
the comparable period of the prior year by 9.9%.

     During the third quarter of the fiscal year, automotive and upholstery 
business unit sales increased 4.8% from the comparable period of the previous 
year.  These net increases are composed of sales increases in headliner and 
bodycloth fabrics, recreational vehicle and van fabrics, and decreases in 
furniture fabrics.

     For the nine months ended June 26, 1994, sales in the apparel, home 
fashions and industrial fabrics business unit decreased 4.4% from the 
comparable period of the prior year reflecting declines in most apparel 
market end uses.  Offsetting some of the decrease in apparel for such nine 
months were sales increases in lingerie, solid color swimwear, Ready-To-Wear 
prints, and industrial fabrics. Sales in the apparel, home fashions and 
industrial fabrics business unit decreased 9.5% during the third quarter 
from the comparable period of the prior year.  This was due to changing 
market conditions resulting in shifting the mix of sales to shapewear and
industrial fabrics and weaker sales of warp knit Ready-To-Wear fabrics, 
linings, domestics and swimwear.  Lingerie fabrics and circular knit 
Ready-To-Wear sales during the third quarter remained even with the 
comparable quarter of last year's sales.

     Sales of the Company's U.K. subsidiary for the first nine months of the 
current fiscal year declined $3.6 million, or 5.4%, compared with the same 
period of the previous year due to continuing poor economic conditions in 
Europe.  European sales for the third quarter of the current fiscal year 
increased $.7 million or 2.8% over the comparable period of the prior year 
reflecting improvement in automotive production during the quarter.

     Margins for the first nine months declined to 16.7% from 18.7% for the 
comparable period of the prior year and declined to 18.0% for the third 
quarter from last year's 20.2%.  These declines are the result of shifting 
apparel product mix and weaker pricing during the third quarter coupled with 
significant operating variances related primarily to volume efficiencies, as 
well as weaker operating performance in the fibers and apparel units.

     Selling and administrative expenses declined 11.7% to $47.8 million for 
the first nine months of the current fiscal year from $54.2 million for 
the comparable period of the prior year and 23.8% to $15.7 million for the
third quarter of this year from $20.6 million in the comparable quarter of 
the prior year.  The decrease is due to reductions in discretionary research 
and development expenses and other expenses being achieved through the 
Company's business re-engineering programs.  The third quarter of fiscal 1993 
also included unusual reserve requirements for bad debts due to bankruptcies 
($2.6 million).

     Increased borrowings, necessitated by the high capital expenditures
during fiscal 1993 and primarily related to the issuance of $75 million of
senior, unsecured notes in January 1993 resulted in increases in interest 
expense of $2.7 million and $.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 
1994 and the third quarter of fiscal 1994, respectively, from the comparable 
periods of the prior year.  Higher short-term rates and borrowings related to 
higher inventories also contributed to higher interest expense for the 
quarter.  An additional $20 million of senior, unsecured notes was issued 
in the third quarter of this year.

     Net income for the first nine months was $16.7 million, or $1.21 per 
primary share, compared with $22.0 million or $1.61 per primary share, for 
the comparable period of the prior year.  Net income for the third quarter 
was $8.9 million, or $.65 per primary share, compared to $10.7 million, or 
$.78 per primary share, for the comparable quarter of the prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Requirements

     At June 26, 1994, working capital was $151.5 million compared to $125.7 
million at September 26, 1993.  The increase in working capital is due 
primarily to the reduction in short-term borrowings through use of the 
long-term debt proceeds, as well as an increase in accounts receivable due 
to a $40 million increase in sales in the third quarter of the current year 
as compared to the transition quarter ended September 26, 1993.  The Company 
maintains flexibility with respect to its seasonal working capital needs
through a committed revolving credit facility of $25 million and its continued 
access to other traditional sources of funds, including available uncommitted 
lines of credit aggregating over $100 million, and the ability to receive 
advances against its factored accounts receivable. Management believes that 
the Company's financial position and operating performance would continue to 
provide the Company with necessary capital from appropriate financial markets.

Contingencies and Future Operations

     Since January 1992, the Company has been involved in discussions with 
the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") regarding remedial 
actions at its Gold Mills, Inc. ("Gold") facility in Pine Grove, Pennsylvania 
which was acquired in October 1986.  Between 1988 and 1990, the Company 
implemented a number of corrective measures at the facility in conjunction 
with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources and incurred
approximately $3.5 million in costs.  Subsequently, through negotiations 
with the EPA, Gold entered into a Final Administrative Consent Order with 
the EPA, effective October 14, 1992.  Pursuant to such order, Gold (i) is 
performing (a) certain measures designed to prevent any potential threats to 
the environment at the facility and (b) an investigation to fully determine 
the nature of any release of hazardous substances at the facility and (ii) 
will perform a study to evaluate alternatives for any corrective action
which may be necessary at the facility.  The failure of Gold to comply with 
the terms of the Consent Order may result in the imposition of monetary 
penalties against Gold.  

     The Company has initiated litigation against the former shareholders 
and other parties involved in the sale of Gold to the Company.  While the 
Company believes it has a strong argument to effect the recovery of a 
portion of the past and future environmental remediation costs related to 
the Pine Grove facilities, no amount for recovery has been recorded.

     During the fourth quarter of 1992, the Company also received a Notice 
of Violation from the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management 
concerning ground water contamination on or near one of its North Carolina 
facilities.  The Company has voluntarily agreed to allow the installation of 
monitoring wells at the site to determine the source of the contaminants, 
but denies that such contaminants originated from the Company's operations or
property.  

     At June 26, 1994, environmental accruals amounted to $7.7 million of 
which $6.7 million is non-current and is included in other deferred 
liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet.

     The Company also is involved in various litigation arising in the
ordinary course of business.  Although the final outcome of these legal 
and environmental matters cannot be determined, based on the facts 
presently known, it is management's opinion that the final resolution of 
these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's 
financial position or future results of operations.
