Report of Independent Public Accountants




To The Stockholder and Board of Directors of
Hofmann Laces, Ltd. and Affiliates:


We have audited the accompanying  combined balance sheet of Hofmann Laces,  Ltd.
(a New York Corporation) and Affiliates (Curtains and Fabrics,  Inc. and Raschel
Fashion  Interknitting,  Ltd.) (herein  after  referred to  collectively  as the
Companies)  as of December  31, 1995,  and the related  combined  statements  of
income  and  retained  earnings  and cash flows for the year then  ended.  These
financial  statements are the responsibility of the Companies'  management.  Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on
our audit.


We conducted our audit 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 our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion,  the combined  financial  statements  referred to above  present
fairly, in all material  respects,  the combined  financial  position of Hofmann
Laces,  Ltd. and  Affiliates  as of December 31, 1995,  and the results of their
operations and cash flows for the year then ended,  in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

and bedding  products of knitted  fabric sold  primarily to the retail  industry
including the department store, discount store and variety store segments. Sales
are primarily  domestic with a small  percentage of sales to foreign  countries.
The Companies  also operate five outlet stores where certain of its products are
sold directly to consumers.


Principles of Combination


The  combined  financial  statements  include  the  accounts  of  the  following
companies which are related through common ownership:

Hofmann Laces, Ltd.
Curtains and Fabrics, Inc.
Raschel Fashion Interknitting, Ltd.
Cobleskill  Novelty Fibers,  Inc.  (merged into Raschel  Fashion  Interknitting,
Ltd., in May 1995), and its wholly owned subsidiaries-
American Rehers Zwirne Corp. (dissolved in May 1995)
American Rehers Zwirne, Limited Partnership (dissolved in May 1995)

All significant  intercompany  accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
combination.


Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  at the date of the
financial  statements and the reported  amounts of revenues and expenses  during
the reporting period.
Actual results may differ from those estimates.


Cash and Cash Equivalents


All investments  purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are
considered  to be cash  equivalents.  The  carrying  amount of cash  equivalents
approximates fair value.

Accounts Receivable and Concentration of Credit Risk


The Companies sell fabric  products to  manufacturers  of home  furnishings  and
intimate  apparel and sell curtains and other home furnishings of knitted fabric
to major  retailers  throughout the United States.  Sales to two major retailers
amounted to  approximately  43% of the  Companies'  total net sales in 1995. The
Companies grant credit terms to customers after an evaluation of their financial
condition.  The Companies maintain a credit insurance policy, with a financially
sound insurance company,  that covers the majority of all outstanding  accounts,
subject to specified credit limits.  Allowances for uncollectible  accounts were
$454 at December 31, 1995.


Inventories


Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using
the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.


Property and Equipment


Property  is  carried  at cost,  and  depreciation  is  provided  for  financial
reporting  primarily on the straight-line  method.  Accelerated methods are used
for income tax reporting.  Depreciation rates are reviewed annually and revised,
if  necessary,  to reflect  estimated  remaining  useful  lives.  The  Financial
Accounting  Standards  Board recently  issued SFAS No. 121,  "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to Be Disposed Of."
This  statement  requires  long-lived  assets  to be  evaluated  for  impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
an asset may not be  recoverable.  The Companies  will adopt SFAS No. 121 during
1996 and  does not  expect  its  provisions  to have a  material  effect  on the
Companies' consolidated results of operations in the year of adoption.


Income Taxes


The stockholder of the Companies has elected under  Subchapter S of the Internal
Revenue Code to have the  Companies  income taxed  directly to the  stockholder.
Under this  election,  the  corporate  income or loss of the S  Corporations  is
allocated to their  stockholder for inclusion in his personal federal income tax
returns and  accordingly,  no provision for federal  income taxes is required in
the  accompanying  combined  statement  of  income  and  retained  earnings.  In
addition,  state income taxes are provided for any income attributable to states
that do not recognize S Corporation status.


Deferred  income taxes are provided,  when  applicable,  for timing  differences
between  the  recognition  of certain  income and  expense  items for  financial
reporting  and  income tax  purposes.  These  differences  relate  primarily  to
different  depreciation  methods  used  for  financial  accounting  and  for tax
purposes.


Foreign Currency Translation


Current assets and obligations  denominated in foreign currencies are translated
at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance  sheet date.  Unrealized  gains
and losses from foreign currency  translation are included in the  determination
of net income.

Revenue Recognition


The  Companies  recognize  sales when goods are  shipped  or when  ownership  is
assumed by the customer.

</TABLE>
The fair value of  long-term  debt of the  Companies  approximates  the carrying
values.


Maturities of long-term  debt,  not  considering  amounts  repaid in January and
February 1996 in connection  with the  acquisition  of the Companies by Guilford
Mills, Inc. (see Note 11), are as follows:


                 Year
1996                                    $  6,461

1997                                       8,774

1998                                       7,298

1999                                       7,371

2000                                       6,363

Thereafter                                 5,600
                                         $41,867

Certain of the above  obligations  contain  negative  covenants  relating to net
working capital and stockholder's equity, along with various other restrictions.
The  Companies  were in  compliance  with these  covenants or have  obtained the
necessary waivers to such covenants at December 31, 1995.



5.  Lines of Credit:


The  Companies  have bank lines of credit  with  aggregate  borrowing  limits of
$11,000.  Borrowings under the lines of credit bear interest at various variable
market rates and are secured by accounts  receivable.  Borrowings are limited to
75%  - 80%  of  eligible  collateral.  As  of  December  31,  1995,  $3,780  was
outstanding  under the lines of credit.  All amounts  outstanding were repaid in
January 1996 in  connection  with the  acquisition  of the Companies by Guilford
Mills, Inc. (see Note 11).

                                      F-10
<PAGE>



                                                         




The   Companies   also  have  a  DM  31,000,000   revolving   credit  line  with
Landesgirokasse of Germany. The revolving credit line bears interest at variable
market  rates  (4.9% at  December  31,  1995)  and  expires  December  1,  1996.
Borrowings  under the revolving credit line are  collateralized  by a restricted
cash account deposited with Landesgirokasse of Germany. As of December 31, 1995,
outstanding  borrowings under the revolving credit line were $21,922 and related
restricted cash deposits of $22,274 are included in cash and cash equivalents in
the accompanying combined balance sheet.  Borrowings under this revolving credit
line were repaid with the  restricted  cash deposits,  and the revolving  credit
line was  terminated in January 1996 in connection  with the  acquisition of the
Companies by Guilford Mills, Inc. (see Note 11).



6.  Income Taxes:


A portion  of state  income  taxes  for  certain  states in which the  Companies
operate are payable  directly by the Companies  and, as such,  the provision for
income  taxes  included in the  accompanying  combined  statement  of income and
retained  earnings  is for these  state  income  taxes only and does not include
federal and certain state income taxes of  approximately  $5,200 for 1995, which
otherwise would have been payable if the Companies had not elected  Subchapter S
status under the Internal Revenue Code.


Distributions  are generally  paid in amounts  approximating  the  stockholder's
personal  income  tax  liabilities  resulting  from the  current  S  Corporation
earnings.   Distributions  of  $16,500,   which  represents  the   stockholder's
accumulated S Corporation earnings, were made in January 1996 in connection with
the acquisition of the Companies by Guilford Mills, Inc. (see Note 11).


Prior to its merger into Raschel Fashion Interknitting,  Ltd. (an S Corporation)
in May 1995,  Cobleskill  Novelty  Fibers,  Inc. and  subsidiaries  were taxable
entities for federal and state income tax purposes.  The  accompanying  combined
statement of operations and retained earnings includes provision for federal and
state income  taxes for these  entities  through the date of merger.  Due to the
merger,  the amount of  previously  recorded  deferred  income taxes exceeds the
expected  future  liability  to the  Companies  by $807.  This  amount  has been
reversed and added directly to retained  earnings in the  accompanying  combined
financial statements.

8.  Defined Contribution Plan:


The Companies  maintain a qualified  defined  contribution plan for all eligible

Board of Directors of the Companies.  During 1995,  expenses related to the plan
were $517.



9.  Commitments:


The Companies  lease various  knitting  equipment,  automobiles  and  warehouse,
stores, showroom and office space under non-cancelable  operating leases through
2001. Future minimum lease payments are as follows:


            Year
1996                          $1,036

1997                             967

10.  Contingencies:


The  Companies  are involved in various  litigation  and  environmental  matters
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  Companies'  financial
position or future results of operations.



11.  Subsequent Event:


On January 12, 1996, 100% of the  outstanding  common stock of the Companies was
sold to Guilford  Mills,  Inc., an SEC registrant  that produces,  processes and
sells warp and circular  knit  fabrics and woven  velours.  The  purchase  price
consists of a cash payment  equal to the combined net worth of the  Companies as
of December 31, 1995,  200,000 shares of Guilford Mills, Inc. common stock and a
contingent payment in accordance with a formula based on Guilford Mills,  Inc.'s
price-earnings  multiple and the Companies'  average annual after-tax net income
for the five-year period ending on December 31, 2000.

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of income for the year
ended  October 1, 1995 and the three  months  ended  December  31,  1995 and the
unaudited  pro forma  consolidated  balance  sheet as of December  31, 1995 were
prepared to illustrate the estimated  effects of the Acquisition.  The unaudited
pro forma consolidated  statements of income present the consolidated results of
operations  of Guilford  Mills,  Inc. (the  Company) as if the  Acquisition  had
occurred as of the beginning of each period  presented.  The unaudited pro forma
consolidated  balance sheet as of December 31, 1995 reflects the  Acquisition as
if it had occurred on that date. The unaudited pro forma consolidated  financial
statements are based upon the respective  historical financial  statements.  The
pro forma  consolidated  financial  data does not purport to represent  what the
Company's  financial  position or results of operations would actually have been
if the  Acquisition  had occurred on December 31, 1995 or as of the beginning of
each period presented nor does the pro forma consolidated financial data purport
to be indicative of future results.  The pro forma  consolidated  financial data
should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements
of the  Company  filed with the  Securities  Exchange  Commission  in its Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended  October 1, 1995 and the unaudited
condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  of the  Company  filed  with the
Securities  Exchange  Commission  in its  Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended December 31, 1995 and the notes thereto.

(1) The purchase price consists of three components: (i) a cash payment equal to
the combined net worth of the Hofmann Laces, Ltd. and affiliates at December 31,
1995,  less the loan referred to below (ii) 200,000 shares of Guilford's  common
stock  and  (iii)  a  contingent  payment  based  on  a  formula  of  Guilford's
price-earnings'  multiple and the average  annual  after-tax  net income for the
five year  period  ending on  December  31,  2000 of  Hofmann  Laces,  Ltd.  and
affiliates.  In addition,  Guilford loaned $16.5 million to Hofmann Laces,  Ltd.
and  affiliates  which was equal to  accumulated  adjustments  account which was
distributed to the seller.  The Company also incurred expense of $1.0 million of
professional  fees  relating to the  acquisition.  Also,  since a  determination
cannot  be made as to the  contingent  payout,  if any,  no  amounts  have  been
reflected in the pro forma adjustments.

      The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
Because information required to determine allocation of the purchase price, such
an appraisal of fixed assets and intangible  assets, is incomplete at this time,
the excess  purchase  price over book value has been  classified as fixed assets
and  other  assets  which  represents  goodwill  and  other  intangibles.   This
allocation of the purchase price is based on historical  costs and  management's
estimates which may differ from the final allocation.

(2)  Represents  amount  borrowed to fund the  purchase  price and  refinance of
approximately $36 million of Hofmann Laces, Ltd. and affiliates debt.
