PART I
ITEM 1.  BUSINESS
(a)  General Development of Business
     Hampton Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries (herein
referred to as "Hampton" or "Company") are engaged in the
business of manufacturing and selling wearing apparel. 
     Hampton, a North Carolina Corporation, is the successor of
several predecessor corporations, the first of which was
incorporated in 1925 in the State of New York under the name of
Hampton Shirt Co. 
(b)  Financial Information About Industry Segments
     Hampton has been engaged in one line of business in excess
of five years; reference is made to the financial statements
included herein under ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND
SUPPLEMENTARY DATA. 
(c)  Narrative Description of Business
     Hampton's principal products consist of men's and boys'
shirts and men's and women's sleepwear, which are produced
domestically and in Central America.  Sport and dress shirts, 
sweaters, swimtrunks, activewear and outerwear, for both men and
boys, are imported from unaffiliated sources located primarily
in the Far East.
     Hampton's products are principally sold at retail under
private labels.  The Company also manufactures and sells apparel
under the "Nautica for Boy's", "McGregor's" and "Rawlings"
trademarks as licensees and under the "Le Tigre" and "Campus"
labels for men and boys and the "Kaynee" label for boys, which
are Company owned tradenames.  Branded apparel is becoming a
more important part of the success of the Company's business.
     Licensed trademarks include "Nautica for boys" for
sportswear, "McGregor" for mens' and boys' loungewear and
"Rawlings" for activewear.
     Hampton designs its line of apparel.  Patterns based on
such designs are made for use in cutting the fabric.  At its
various manufacturing plants, the fabrics are cut, sewn, pressed
and packaged for sale to customers.  The average domestic
production cycle is approximately five weeks from the time the
fabric  is scheduled for cutting until the finished product is
received at the Company's distribution centers.  The production
cycle for goods imported or manufactured under Caribbean Basin
Incentives from Central America is approximately ten weeks,
while the lead time for goods imported from the Far East can be
as long as six months. The design and production specifications
for imported products are provided to the manufacturers by
Hampton. 
     The Company's products are manufactured from various
combinations of manmade and natural fibers which are readily
available from a number of sources.  Hampton has no long-term
contracts with any supplier. 
   Hampton's products are sold throughout the United States,
principally under either private or store labels, to
approximately 2,800 customers including most of the country's
leading national and regional retail chain and department
stores.  Sales are made by a nationwide sales staff which
totaled 67 salesmen, including 42 field representatives at the
end of 1995.  Sales offices are
located in New York, and at the Company's executive and
administrative headquarters in Kinston, North Carolina.  As of
December 30, 1995, the Company had approximately 1,100
  1
full-time associates.  Hampton is not a party to any collective
bargaining agreements, has never
experienced a strike or work stoppage, and believes that it
maintains satisfactory relationships with its associates.
    Hampton's two largest customers accounted for approximately
34% of consolidated sales volume in 1995.  Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.
and J.C. Penney Co. accounted for approximately  18% and 16%
respectively, of sales volume.  The two customers are large
multi-outlet retail chains.  Both customers purchase a broad
range of Hampton's products through a variety of their
merchandising departments.  There have been no contracts with
either customer for continued business.
<TABLE>
     The following is a breakdown of sales by product categories:

Girls' and Ladies' Blouses                2%       4%        3% 
</TABLE>
    "Licensed" apparel sales accounted for 14% of the
consolidated sales in 1995 and 3% in 1994.
     For 1995 and 1994, respectively, the Company sourced its
products as follows:  imports; 47% and 43%, Caribbean; 24% and
16%, Domestic; 29% and 41%.  All foreign purchases are
contracted for in U.S. Dollars; therefore, there is no currency
risk.
     As of March 4, 1996, Hampton's backlog of orders, believed
to be firm, was approximately $86,471,000 as compared to
$116,148,000 at the same date in 1995.  All of  the backlog of
orders is expected to be shipped during the current fiscal year.
 This decline is in line with the Company's expectations.
     The apparel industry is highly competitive as to style,
quality and price, and Hampton competes with many other
manufacturers as to each of its products.

     The Company uses the LIFO method of costing principally all
of its inventories to more fairly present the results of
operations by matching current costs with current revenues.  The
LIFO method had the effect of increasing net earnings by
$153,800 ($.03 per share) in 1995, $64,400 ($.01 per share) in
1994, $360,900 ($.08 per share) in 1993 and $749,900 ($.16 per
share) in 1992.  The LIFO method reduced net earnings by $11,500
(no effect on per share earnings) in 1991.  The income realized
as a result of inventory liquidation was not significant in
1995, $510,400 ($.11 per share) in 1994, $78,100 ($.02 per
share) in 1993, and $576,000 ($.13 per share) in 1991.

</TABLE>
     Fiscal 1995 Versus Fiscal 1994
     Net sales for 1995 increased by approximately 7%.  A
decline of 4% in units shipped was offset by an increase of 12%
in average selling price.  The increase in average selling price
is primarily due to the greater influence of the "branded"
product sales.
     Profit margin declined by $871,000 for 1995.  As a percent
of sales this represented a decline of 1.7%.  Two specific
customer programs were no longer profitable and have been
discontinued.  These two programs generated approximately
$16,000,000 of sales in 1995 and will not be replaced in 1996. 
In addition, certain sales divisions were discontinued that
resulted in the liquidation and mark down of certain
inventories.  
        5
     Selling, general and administrative expenses declined to
16.0% of sales for 1995 from 16.3% in 1994.
     On July 18, 1995, the Company announced the closings of two
manufacturing facilities which complete the Company's program of
reducing excess domestic production capacity begun three years
ago.  The closing costs related thereto are included in the
statement of operations as Provision for restructuring costs. 
The restructuring reduced the work force by approximately 400
associates or 25% of total employees.  Plant closing costs
totaled approximately $1,211,000 representing severance pay,
payroll taxes and a noncash charge of $610,000 relating to the
write-down of the manufacturing equipment to estimated
realizable value.
     Interest expense increased by $1,638,000 from 1994. 
Approximately two thirds of this increase was due to a higher
level of borrowing with the remainder due to higher effective
interest rates.  The higher level of borrowing was the result of
certain delays in order delivery dates from our customers which
increased inventory levels during the course of the year, as
well as the higher level of inventory required to support the
growing sales volume of the "Branded" products.
     The effective tax benefit rate decreased to 24.9% in 1995
from the effective tax rate expense of 30.6% in 1994 primarily
as a result of the loss of future state tax benefits that were
generated in the current year.
     Fiscal 1994 Versus Fiscal 1993
     Net sales for 1994 decreased by approximately 12%.  The
sales decrease resulted from a 15% decrease in total units
shipped, combined with a 3% increase in average selling prices. 
The selling prices in 1993 were lower than normal because of the
markdowns taken to reduce inventory levels of excess or
discontinued products through promotional programs.  The
increase in profit margins is a result of more advantageous
sourcing and the elimination of promotional programs which
normally carry lower profit margins.
   During the year, the Company closed a manufacturing facility.
 The restructuring reduced the
workforce by approximately 200 associates or 10% of total
employment.  Plant closing costs totaled approximately
$2,300,000 representing severance pay, payroll taxes and a
noncash charge of $1,434,000 relating to the writedown of the
facility and manufacturing equipment to realizable sales value. 
The closing reduced the Company's excess domestic production
capacity.
     The Company closed two facilities in 1993 incurring a
charge of $668,000 covering severance pay and payroll taxes. 
Because of increased competitiveness and changing market
conditions, management will continue to assess the viability of
its existing domestic operations.
     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a
percent of sales to 16.1% in 1994 as compared to 15.7% of sales
in 1993 primarily because of the decrease in sales volume. 
Selling, general and administrative expenses actually decreased
by 10% as a result of the realignment or discontinuance of
certain sales divisions and the cost cutting programs instituted
in the latter part of 1993.
     Interest expense decreased by $110,000 or 4% from 1993
because of lower borrowing requirements.  The average cost of
borrowing increased in 1994.
     The effective tax rate decreased to 30.6% from 32.5%
primarily as a result of the utilization of state tax benefits
attributable to net operating loss carry-forwards that were
written-off in prior years.
               6
Liquidity and Capital Resources
     On December 30, 1995, the Company did not meet certain financial
covenants in its existing agreement (the "Agreement").  The Agreement,
last amended on March 1, 1996, provides for a line of credit ranging
from $60,000,000 to $90,000,000 based on seasonal requirements.
Borrowings bear interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate or the
Prime Rate, at the option of the Company.  The Agreement expires on
October 1, 1996.
     The Agreement contains financial covenants, including but not
limited to, financial covenants relating to borrowings, working capital,
tangible net worth, cash flow and interest coverage.  In addition, the 
Agreement restricts fixed asset purchases and does not allow for the
payment of cash dividends.  There is no requirement to maintain
compensating balances under the Agreement, however, the Company is
required to pay a fee of 1/2% of 1% per annum on the total commitment. 
    All of the bank indebtedness outstanding at December 30, 1995 has
been classified as current.
     On April 12, 1996, the Company received a commitment (the "New
Facility" ) from a bank to refinance the bank indebtedness outstanding
under its existing Agreement.
The commitment is subject to a number of closing conditions.
Management believes that such conditions will be satisfactorily 
met, however, there can be no assurance that the New Facility
will close.  The New Facility will provide for a maximum line of
credit of $100,000,000 which will include both direct loans and letters
of credit.  Availability under the New Facility will be based on a formula
of eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory and will provide for
a seasonal overadvance of $23,000,000 within the $100,000,000 limit.
Direct borrowings will bear interest at the London Interbank
Offered Rate or the Prime Rate, at the option of the Company plus the 
applicable Margin (as defined in the New Facility).  Borrowings
are collateralized by accounts receivable, inventory, and general
intangibles of the Company and its subsidiaries.  The
New Facility, if closed, will expire in April 1999.
     The New Facility will contain financial covenants, including but
not limited to, financial covenants related 
to tangible net worth and interest coverage, and will restrict fixed asset
purchases and does not allow for the payment of cash dividends. 
There will be no requirement to maintain compensating balances,
however, the Company will be required to pay a fee of 1/4% of 1% per
annum on the unused portion of the total facility plus certain
other administrative costs.
     Upon closing of the New Facility, approximately $7,750,000 of
current bank debt will be reclassified to long-term debt.  As of
December 31, 1994, $10,685,000 of borrowings under the Agreement
were classified as long- term debt.  The working capital ratio
as of the end of 1995 was 2.1:1 as compared to 4.1:1 in 1994.  
      During 1995, cash used in operations totaled approximately
$9,600,000 as compared to approximately $5,300,000 being
generated in 1994.  The substantial use of funds for 1995
financed increased inventory levels to support the growing sales
of the Company's Branded apparel lines.
     Additions to plant, property and equipment represented
normal replacement and upgrading of equipment of approximately
$600,000 in 1995 and $1,100,000 in 1994.  Capital expenditures
for 1996 are estimated to approximate the same level as 1994,
and will be financed from operations.
7
     In 1993, the Company entered into two joint ventures in
Central America for the purpose of producing apparel under the
Caribbean Basin Incentive program or as imports.  The Company
owns 50% of each joint venture.  The Company's combined
investments total $114,000.  In addition, advances of $27,000 in
1995 and $1,689,000 in 1994 were made for equipment purchases
and working capital needs.  Additional loans, if any, are not
expected to be significant in 1996.
     The Company has available lines of credit as of January 1,
1996 of $7,400,000 under the Agreement.  The credit that will be
available under the New Facility, together with the cash expected
to be provided from
operations, is adequate to meet the Company's short-term
financing needs.

HAMPTON INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 30, 1995, DECEMBER 31, 1994
                         AND DECEMBER 25, 1993
A.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
     Description of Business
      The Company is engaged in the business of manufacturing
and selling wearing apparel.  The principal products consist of
men's and boys' shirts and men's and women's sleepwear, which are
produced domestically and in Central America.  Sport and dress
shirts, sweaters, swimtrunks, activewear and outerwear, for
both men and boys, are imported from unaffiliated sources located
primarily in the Far East.
     Principles of Consolidation
      The consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are
wholly-owned.  All significant intercompany profits,
transactions and balances have been eliminated.
      Affiliated companies which are 50 percent owned but not
controlled are accounted for by the equity method.
     Use of Estimates
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
      Inventories
      Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market
value.  As described in Note B, the cost of substantially all
inventory is determined by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method.
     Property, Plant and Equipment
      Expenditures for buildings, equipment and improvements are
capitalized and depreciated or amortized on a straight-line
basis over their estimated useful lives.  Estimated useful lives
of assets are based upon the following ranges:  land
improvements, 30 years, buildings and leasehold improvements, 30
to 35 years, machinery and equipment, 3 to 15 years and
furniture and fixtures, 5 to 10 years.
     Long-Lived Assets
      In March 1995, The Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement Number 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Dsiposed Of." 
This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1995.  The Company does not expect the effect on
its consolidated financial condition from the adoption of this
statement to be material.
     Revenue Recognition
      Sales revenue is recognized upon shipment of product,
which is when title to the product passes to the customer.
     Income Taxes
      Deferred income taxes are provided to reflect the tax
effect of temporary differences between financial statement
income and taxable income in accordance with the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109).
14  
     Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
      Earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing
net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during each period, as adjusted retroactively
for the 10% stock dividend issued in 1993.
          
     Postretirement Benefits
      During 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits other than Pensions" (SFAS 106) which
established standards of financial accounting and reporting for
the estimated cost of postretirement benefits other than
pensions as associates render the services necessary to earn
their postretirement benefits.  Adoption of SFAS No. 106 did not
have a significant impact on the Company's financial position or
results of operations.

     Stock Options and Warrants

      In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". 
The standard encourages, but does not require, companies to
recognize compensation expense of grants for stock, stock
options and other equity instruments to employees based on fair
value accounting rules.  The Company has not yet determined if
it will adopt the accounting provisions of SFAS No. 123;
however, the Company does not believe that adoption of SFAS No.
123 will have a significant impace on the Compny's financial
positon or results of operations.     

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

      During October 1994, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board issued SFAS 107, "Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments."  This statement requires the disclosure of
estimated fair values for all financial instruments for which it
is practicable to estimate fair value.
      For financial instruments including cash, accounts
receivable and payable, accruals, notes payable - banks and
current maturities of long-term debt, it was assumed that the
carrying amount approximated fair value because of their short
maturity.
      The carrying amount of the non-current portion of 
mortgage notes due through the year 2000, all of which bear
interest at floating rates, are also assumed to approximate
their fair values.
     Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Affiliates
      The investment in unconsolidated affiliates represents
investments in two Central American companies and are carried on
the equity basis, which approximates the Company's equity in the
unconsolidated affiliates underlying net book values.  Advances
receivable from the unconsolidated affiliates total $1,945,260
at December 30, 1995 and $1,918,552 at December 31, 1994.

     Principally all inventories are valued at the lower of
last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or market.  Information related
to the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method may be useful in
comparing operating results to those of companies not on LIFO. 
On a supplemental basis, if inventories had been valued at the
lower of FIFO cost or market, inventories at December 30, 1995
and December 31, 1994 would have been approximately $51,400,000
and $44,261,000, respectively.  The LIFO valuation method had
the effect of increasing net earnings by $153,800 ($.03 per
share) in 1995, $64,400 ($.01 per share) in 1994 and $360,900
($.08 per share) in 1993.  The income realized as a result of
inventory liquidation was not significant in 1995, $510,400
($.11 per share) in 1994 and $78,100 ($.02 per share) in 1993.  
Included in finished goods are inventory in transit of
$7,139,300 in 1995 and $6,368,800 in 1994.

</TABLE>
 (i)     On December 30, 1995, the Company did not meet certain
financial covenants in its existing agreement (the "Agreement").
The Agreement, last amended on March 1, 1996, provides for a line of
credit ranging from $60,000,000 to $90,000,000 based on seasonal require-
ments.  Borrowings bear interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate or 
the Prime Rate, at the option of the Company.  Indebtedness under the 
Agreement
is collateralized by all of the accounts receivable and inventory of the
Company.  The Agreement expires on October 1, 1996.
     The Agreement contains financial covenants, including but not limited
to, financial covenants related to borrowings, working capital, tangible
net worth, cash flow and interest coverage.  In addition, the Agreement
restricts fixed asset purchases and does not allow for the payment of
cash dividends.  There is no requirement to maintain compensating balances
under the Agreement, however, the Company is required to pay a fee of
1/2% of 1% per annum on the total commitment.
     All of the indebtedness outstanding at December 30, 1995 has been
classified as current.
     On April 12, 1996, the Company received a commitment (the "New
Facility") from
a bank to refinance the bank indebtedness under its existing Agreement.
The Commitment is subject to a number of closing conditions.  Management
believes that such conditions will be satisfactorily met, however, there
can be no assurance that the New Facility will close.
The New Facility will replace the existing facility
which was executed in December 1994. The New
18
 Facility will
provide for a maximum line of credit of $100,000,000 which will include
both direct loans and letters of credit.  Availability under the New
Facility is based on a formula of eligible accounts receivables and  eligible
inventory and will provide for a seasonal overadvance of up to $23,000,000
within the $100,000,000 maximum line of credit.  Direct borrowings will 
bear interest based on the
London Interbank Offered Rate or the Prime Rate, at the option
of the Company plus the applicable Margin (as defined in the New Facility).
Borrowings are collateralized by the 
accounts receivable, inventory and general intangibles of the Company 
and its subsidiaries.  The New Facility, if closed, will expire April 1999.
     The New Facility contains financial covenants, including but not limited
to, financial convenants, including but not limited to, tangible net worth
and interest coverage and will restrict fixed asset
purchases and does not allow for the payment of cash dividends. 
There will be no requirement to maintain compensating balances under
the Agreement, however, the Company is required to pay a fee of
1/4% of 1% per annum on the unused portion of the total facility
plus certain other administrative costs.
     Upon the closing of the New Facility, approximately $7,750,000
of current bank debt will be reclassified to long-term debt.
(ii)    The 8 1/4% mortgage notes are payable primarily to
principal stockholders of the Company and members of their
families.
(iii)   The mortgage notes and the capitalized lease obligations
are collateralized by building and property having a carrying
value at December 30, 1995 of $10,377,000.  The effective
interest rate on the aggregate amount of capitalized leases at
December 30, 1995 was 5.34%.  The effective interest rate on the
mortgage note due in 2000 at December 30, 1995 was 7.98%.
     At December 30, 1995, letters of credit amounting to
approximately $29,042,000 relating to approximately $31,261,000
of purchase commitments issued to foreign suppliers were
outstanding.
F.   STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
     Preferred Stock
     The Company has authorized 14,140.5 shares of $7 cumulative
First Preferred Stock, par value of $100, none of which is
issued.
     In addition, the Company has authorized 1,000,000 shares of
Second Preferred Stock, par value of $1, none of which has been
issued.  The Board of Directors is authorized to fix
designations, relative rights, preferences and limitations on
the stock at the time of issuance.
     Common Stock
     The Board of Directors declared a 10% stock dividend in
1993.  Earnings  (loss) per share have been restated to reflect
the stock dividends declared.
     In 1992, the stockholders approved a non-qualified stock
option plan (the "Plan").  The Plan authorizes a stock option
committee to determine and designate those associates and
directors who are to be granted stock options.  Stock options
allow for the purchase of common stock at prices determined by
the stock option committee on the date of the grant.  Options
under the Plan become exercisable in increments of 20% annually
and expire ten years from the date of the grant.  Stock to be
offered under the Plan consists of shares, whether authorized
but unissued or reacquired by the Company, of the common stock
of the Company.  The total amount of common stock issuable upon
the exercise of all stock options under the Plan may not exceed
363,000 shares.  No stock options had been granted under the
Plan as of December 30, 1995.
G.   PROFIT SHARING PLANS
     Through December 31, 1995, the Company maintained two
qualified profit sharing plans.  The two plans were essentially
identical.  One covered the hourly associates of the Company,
and the other covered the salaried associates.  These plans
exclude all associates who were classified as "highly
compensated" under the provision of the Internal Revenue Code. 
The contributions to the Plans were discretionary, and in no
event will any portion of the contributions paid revert to the
Company.  Company contributions to the Plans were $248,000,
$446,000 and $356,000 in 1995, 1994 and 1993 respectively.
     On December 31, 1995 the qualified plan for salaried
associates was merged into the qualified hourly associates plan,
which plan was amended to, among other things, include "highly
compensated" associates.  The Company will make a matching
contribution of 40% of the deferral amount that the associates
elect to make (as limited by the Internal Revenue Service Code).
 The Company has the option of changing the matching
contribution each year.  The Company continues to have the right
to amend, modify or terminate the Plan.
     The Company also maintains a Supplemental Retirement Plan
for Key Employees (the Plan) to permit certain key associates to
defer receipt of current compensation in order to provide
retirement and death benefits on behalf of such associates. 
Company profit sharing credits are determined at the discretion
of the Board of Directors.  Amounts of profit sharing credits
are vested in the same
 manner as vesting occurs under the Company's Qualified Profit
Sharing and Retirement Savings Plans.  An annual return equal to
the Moody's AAA Corporate bond rate is added to each participant
deferred compensation account balance and employer profit
sharing credit account balance.  The Company may provide
supplemental profit sharing credits to one or more active
participants in the Plan, the amount of which shall be
determined by the Board of Directors in its sole and absolute
discretion. 
     As of December 30, 1995, there were 43 participants in the
Plan, including all of the executive officers of the Company. 
None of these associates were able to participate in the
Company's qualified profit sharing plans prior to January 1,
1996.  The Company credited $137,000 and  $224,000 of profit
sharing credits and $285,000 and $282,000 of interest to the
participants accounts, in 1995 and 1994, respectively.  In 1993,
the Company credited $332,000 of profit sharing credits, a
discretionary supplemental credit of $320,000, which is included
in selling, general and administrative expenses, to one
associate and $171,000 of interest to the participant accounts. 
The Plan is not intended to be a qualified plan under the
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.  The Plan is intended
to be unfunded and, therefore, all compensation deferred under
the Plan is held by the Company and commingled with its general
assets.      
       As of January 1, 1996, the participants in the Plan are
no longer able to make salaried deferrals.  Participant
deferrals are fully vested.

I.  CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
     Trade receivables potentially subject the Company to credit
risk.  The Company extends credit to its customers based upon an
evaluation of the customer's financial condition and credit
history and generally does not require collateral.  The Company
has historically incurred minimal credit losses. 
     The Company's broad range of customers includes many large
multi-outlet retail chains, three of which account for a
significant percentage of sales volume, as follows:

J.  RESTRUCTURING COSTS
     On July 18, 1995, the Company announced the closing of two
manufacturing facilities which completed the Company's program
of reducing excess domestic production capacity begun three
years ago.  The closing costs related thereto are included in
the statement of operations as provision for restructuring
costs.  The restructuring reduced the work force by
approximately 400 associates or 25% of total employees.  Plant
closing costs totaled approximately $1,211,000 representing
severance pay, payroll taxes and a noncash charge of $610,000
related to the write-down of the manufacturing equipment to
estimated realizable value.
     During 1994, the Company closed a manufacturing facility. 
The restructuring reduced the workforce by approximately 200
associates or 10% of total employment.  Plant closing costs,
totaled approximately $2,300,000 representing severance pay,
payroll taxes, and a noncash charge of $1,434,000 relating to
the writedown of the facility and manufacturing equipment to
realizable sales value.  
     The Company closed two facilities in 1993 incurring a
charge of $668,000 covering severance pay and payroll taxes.
     The closings reduced the Company's excess domestic
production capacity.
I.  CUSTOMS DUTY REFUNDS
     In 1994, the Company received funds of countervailing
customs duties assessed by the U. S. Customs in 1990 and 1991 on
certain imported products which were determined not to be
subject to anti-dumping provisions.  Additional refunds, if any,
are not expected to be significant.
