                             April 2, 1995
                     (In thousands except share data)
                             (Unaudited)

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.

      Reclassifications - For comparative purposes certain amounts for 1994 
have been reclassified to conform with the 1995 presentation.

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 April 2, 1995 and March 27, 1994 were 13,887,000 and 
13,800,000, respectively.  The average shares used in computing primary net 
income per share for the thirteen week periods ended April 2, 1995 and March 
27, 1994 were 13,977,000 and 13,831,000, 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 April 2, 1995 and March 27, 1994 were 16,188,000 
and 13,834,000, respectively.  The average shares used in computing fully 
diluted net income per share for the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 1995 and 
March 27, 1994 were 16,228,000 and 13,836,000, 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 April 2, 1995 and October 2, 1994 consisted of the 
following:

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


Results of Operations

      For the first six months of fiscal 1995, consolidated sales of $384.4 
million increased $71.2 million from the prior year period.  For the second 
quarter of fiscal 1995, consolidated sales of $201.9 million increased $46.3
million from the prior year period.

      Sales in the U.S. automotive and upholstery business unit increased 15%
to $102.6 million for the first six months of fiscal 1995 and 17% to $52.2 
million for the second quarter of fiscal 1995 compared to the prior year 
periods.  This resulted from an increase in sales of headliner and bodycloth
fabrics of 22% and 26% for the first six months and second quarter of fiscal 
1995, respectively.  These increases were partially offset by sales declines 
in the recreational vehicle and van business and in furniture fabrics of 15% 
and 21% for the first six months and second quarter of fiscal 1995, 
respectively.  While the Company remains cautiously optimistic and expects 
sales growth in this business unit compared to the prior year, the domestic 
automotive original equipment manufacturer (OEM) market is showing signs of 
softening.

      Sales in the apparel and home fashions business unit increased 3% to 
$187.6 million for the first six months of fiscal 1995 compared to the prior
year period.  This resulted from flat sales in intimate apparel, increases in
sales of 17% or $8.5 million in shapewear and swimwear, and 24% or $3.5 
million in fastener products and industrial fabrics.  These increases were 
partially offset by sales declines of 4% or $1.3 million in home fashions and
13% or $5.5 million in ready-to-wear circular and warp knits.  Sales for the 
second quarter of fiscal 1995 increased 12% to $100.7 million compared to the
prior year period.  This resulted from increases in sales of 13% or $2.9 
million in intimate apparel, 22% or $4.9 million in shapewear and swimwear, 
and 27% or $2.0 million in fastener products and industrial fabrics with 
sales of ready-to-wear circular and warp knits and home fashions remaining 
flat as compared to the prior year period.  As the Company continues to 
experience shifts in the product mix from traditionally high volume products 
into new value added products and as retailers express pessimism for apparel 
goods and continue strongly to resist price increases, the Company's 
expectations are guarded and it anticipates flat sales in this business unit 
for the entire year.

      Sales of the Company's U.K. subsidiary increased 79% to $70.7 million 
for the first six months of fiscal 1995  and 84% to $38.7 million for the 
second quarter of fiscal 1995 compared to the prior year periods.  Continued 
economic improvement in Europe coupled with a strong demand for certain Ford,
General Motors and Nissan car models have exceeded the Company's own internal
expectations.  The Company's revised sales estimates for the remainder of the 
fiscal year anticipate continued improvement, although at a lower level than 
the first six months would indicate. 

      Sales of the Company's Mexican subsidiary were $19.9 million at an 
average exchange rate of 4.5 pesos to a dollar for the first six months of 
fiscal 1995 and $8.3 million at an average exchange rate of 5.4 pesos to a 
dollar for the second quarter of fiscal 1995 compared to the prior year 
periods.  Since the first quarter, the peso's devaluation has caused 
approximately a 40% decrease in reported sales from what they would have been
had the value of the peso not declined.  However, this decrease was somewhat
offset by the shift in production for export from 15% to 30% largely related
to the automotive builds.  The Company anticipates that the peso's
devaluation will continue to impact future revenue translation and reduce 
total sales of its Mexican subsidiary.

      Margins improved to 18.6% for the first six months of fiscal 1995 from 
15.9% for the prior year period.  This resulted from margin increases of $6.5
million for the U.K. subsidiary, $6.4 million due to operating efficiencies 
in apparel and fibers operations, $3.5 million in the domestic automotive 
business unit and $5.5 million contributed 

<PAGE>

by the Mexican subsidiary.  Margins improved to 19.1% for the second quarter 
of fiscal 1995 from 15.0% for the second quarter of fiscal 1995.  The primary
factors contributing to this increase were $3.3 million for the U.K. 
subsidiary, $7.0 million due to operating efficiencies in apparel and fiber 
operations, $2.1 million in the domestic automotive business unit and $2.5 
million contributed by the Mexican subsidiary.

      Selling and administrative expenses increased to $38.8 million for the 
first six months of fiscal 1995 from $32.1 million for the prior year period 
and to $20.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 1995 from $14.6 million
for the prior year period.  The primary factors for these increases for the 
first six months and the second quarter were higher accruals for performance 
based incentive compensation plans of $2.3 million and $4.0 million, 
respectively, the consolidation of the Company's Mexican subsidiary which 
added $2.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively, and increased research and
development ("R&D") expenses of $1.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively, 
as the Company continues to focus R&D efforts on new developments in growth 
related areas and to move the timing of major R&D projects to the off peak 
periods.

      Interest expense increased to $7.2 million for the first six months of
fiscal 1995 from the prior year period of $5.8 million and to $3.5 million 
for the second quarter of fiscal 1995 from the prior year period of $2.9 
million. These increases were primarily due to the consolidation of the 
Company's Mexican subsidiary which added $1.0 million and $0.5 million of 
interest expense for the first six months and the second quarter of fiscal 
1995, respectively.  The remaining increase for the first six months of 
fiscal 1995 was due to higher short-term borrowing rates. 

      Other expense increased $2.1 million for the first six months of fiscal
1995 from the prior year period and increased $1.0 for the second quarter of 
fiscal 1995 from the prior year. These increases were primarily due to an 
acceleration of investment losses in a real estate limited partnership in 
which the Company owns an interest. 

      The effective tax rate for the first six months of fiscal 1995 was 
34.3% compared to the prior year period of 35.1% and was 33.4% for the second
quarter of fiscal 1995 compared to the prior year period of 34.8%.  The rate
is expected to be below the prior year's rate throughout the year due to the
impact of R&D and real estate investment credits.

      Net Income for the first six months of fiscal 1995 increased to $15.5 
million from the prior year period of $7.8 million, and increased to $9.4 
million for the second quarter of fiscal 1995 from the prior year period of 
$3.9 million.

      The results of operations for the first six months and second quarter 
of fiscal 1995 were not significantly impacted on a consolidated basis by the
devaluation of the Mexican peso which occurred very late in the first 
quarter.  In the balance sheet, the result of this translation loss is a 
reduction in stockholder equity, as required by Statement of Financial 
Accounting Standards No. 52, and accordingly is not reflected in the income 
of the Company.  In management's view, a risk of loss of earnings exists in 
the future related to net U.S. dollar transactions and from a decline of the 
Company's sales in Mexico.  Although the Mexican government has issued 
guidelines allowing for the increase of selling prices for both apparel and 
automotive manufacturers, current operations are at near normal levels, and 
contingency plans are in place to utilize Mexican manufacturing capacity, the
Company cannot determine to what extent these may offset the possible 
negative impact of this economic uncertainty.

Liquidity and Capital Requirements

      At April 2, 1995, working capital was $169.0 million compared to $153.2
million at October 2, 1994.  The increase in working capital is due primarily
to the reduction in short-term borrowings and the increase in inventory 

<PAGE>

as a result of seasonal requirements.  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 will perform 
(i) certain measures designed to prevent any potential threats to the 
environment at the facility, (ii) an investigation to fully determine the 
nature of any release of hazardous substances at the facility and 
(iii) 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.  In the fourth quarter of 1992, a pre-tax charge of $8.0 million was 
provided for the estimated future cost of the additional remediation.

      The Company initiated litigation against the former stockholders and 
other parties involved in the sale of Gold to the Company.  The parties have 
reached a settlement.  No recovery has been recognized in the Company's 
statement of income as a result of the settlement.

      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.  An additional pre-tax charge of $1.3 million was provided in the 
fourth quarter of 1992 to reflect the estimated future costs of monitoring 
this and other environmental matters including the removal of underground 
storage tanks at the Company's facilities.  At April 2, 1995, environmental 
accruals amounted to $6.9 million of which $5.9 million is non-current and is
included in other deferred liabilities in the balance sheet.

      The Company is also 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.
