                      GUILFORD MILLS, INC.

       CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        March 27, 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 twenty-six weeks
ended March 27, 1994 and March 28, 1993 were 13,800,000 and
13,642,000, respectively.  The average shares used in computing
primary net income per share for the thirteen week periods ended
March 27, 1994 and March 28, 1993 were 13,831,000 and 13,724,000,
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 twenty-six weeks ended March 27, 1994 and March 28, 1993
were 13,834,000 and 15,972,000, respectively.  The average shares
used in computing fully diluted net income per share for the
thirteen weeks ended March 27, 1994 and March 28, 1993 were
13,836,000 and 15,981,000, respectively.

3.   Inventories -- Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or
market.  Cost is determined for substantially all inventories using
the LIFO (last-in, first-out) method.

     Inventories at March 27, 1994 and September 26, 1993 consist
of the following:

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

Results of Operations

     Sales for the first six months of the current fiscal year 
increased $2.4 million over the comparable period of the previous
year.  Sales for the second quarter increased $2.3 million over the
comparable period of the previous year.  

     During the first six 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
12.7%.  During the second quarter of the fiscal year, automotive
and upholstery business unit sales increased 14.2% from the
comparable period of the previous year.  These increases are
composed of sales increases in headliner and bodycloth fabrics,
recreational vehicle and van fabrics, and decreases in furniture
fabrics.

     For the six months ended March 27, 1994, sales in the apparel
and home fashions business unit decreased 1.0% from the comparable
period of the prior year with warp knit sales increasing due to
stronger demand for intimate apparel fabrics and sales growth in
lycra containing fabrics.  Offsetting the increase in warp knit
sales for the six months were sales declines in swimwear due to
continuing weak markets.  Sales in the apparel and home fashions 
business unit decreased .7% during the second quarter from the 
comparable period of the prior year.  This was due to changing 
market conditions resulting in shifting the mix of sales to 
robewear, sleepwear, and circular knit fabrics from warp knit and
intimate apparel fabrics.

     European sales for the first six months of the current fiscal
year declined $4.3 million, or 9.8%, compared with the same period
of the previous year due to continuing poor economic conditions in
Europe.  European sales for the second quarter of the current
fiscal year were relatively stable with the comparable period of
the prior year increasing $.2 million, or 1.1%.

     Margins for the first six months declined to 15.9% from last
year's 17.9% and declined to 15.0% for the second quarter from last
year's 18.1%.  These declines are the result of shifting apparel
product mix during the second quarter to lower margin fabrics,
increases in depreciation expense due to significant capital
improvements in 1993 and increases in quality and efficiency costs
aggravated by adverse weather conditions.

     Selling and administrative expenses declined 4.3% for the
first six months of the current fiscal year from the comparable
period of the prior year and 12.3% from $16.7 million in the
comparable quarter of the prior year to $14.6 million for the
second quarter of this year.  The decrease in the second quarter 
is due to downward adjustments to estimated incentive compensation 
plan accruals, reductions in discretionary research and development
expenses and reductions in expenses being achieved through the 
Company's business re-engineering programs. 

     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 $1.8 million and $1.0
million for the first six months of fiscal 1994 and the second
quarter of fiscal 1994, respectively, from the comparable periods
of the prior year.

     Net income for the first six months was $7.8 million, or $.56
per primary share, compared with $11.3 million or $.83 per primary
share, for the comparable period of the prior year.  Net income for
the second quarter was $3.9 million, or $.28 per primary share,
compared to $6.1 million, or $.45 per primary share, for the
comparable quarter of the prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Requirements

     At March 27, 1994, working capital was $125.9 million compared
to $125.7 million at 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 its 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 allow access to
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 March 27, 1994, environmental accruals amounted to $8.0
million of which $7.0 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.
