              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                January 31, 1998

                                   (Unaudited)


  NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

  In the opinion of the management of Tapistron International, Inc.
  ("Tapistron") and Fabrication Center, Inc. ("FCI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary
  of Tapistron, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
  statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring
  adjustments, except as noted elsewhere in the notes to the condensed
  consolidated financial statements) necessary to present fairly its financial
  position as of January 31, 1998 and the results of its operations for the
  three and six months ended January 31, 1997 and 1998, and cash flows for the
  six months ended January 31, 1997 and 1998. These statements are condensed and
  therefore do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
  generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
  The statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
  statements and footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
  for the year ended July 31, 1997. The results of operations for the three and
  six months ended January 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the
  results to be expected for the full year.

  NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

  Earnings per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of
  common shares and, when dilutive, common equivalent shares (stock options and
  warrants) outstanding during each of the periods.

  NOTE 3 - INVENTORY

  Inventory at January 31, 1998 consists of the following:

       Raw Material                                $808,600
       Work in Process                            1,045,513
                                                -----------
                                                 $1,854,113

  Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

  Results of Operations

  Three Months Ended January 31, 1997 and 1998
  Quarterly sales in the three months ended January 31, 1998 of $1,497,092
  exceeded the three months ended January 31, 1997 of $1,239,068 by 21%. The
  increase in revenues is a result of machines being sold at lower margins in
  the three months ended January 31, 1997 due to the need to generate cash to
  support operations and technical support of the CYP Machines during the
  reorganization proceedings. Renewed confidence in the Company has allowed
  gross margins to return to normal levels.

  Cost of Sales as a percentage of sales decreased from 72% in the three months
  ended January 31, 1997 to 56% in the three months ended January 31, 1998. The
  improved gross margin in the current quarter resulted from machines selling at
  a higher margin.

  Operating expenses increased to $491,764 in the three months ended January 31,
  1998, an increase of 54%. This increase was primarily due to an increase in
  professional fees of $78,965, which related to the reorganization proceedings.

  Six Months Ended January 31, 1997 and 1998
  Year to date sales for the six months ended January 31, 1998 were $2,746,921
  compared to $2,800,942 for the six months ended January 31, 1997, a decrease
  of 2%.

  Cost of Sales as a percentage of sales decreased from 71% for the six months
  ended January 31, 1997 to 61% for the six months ended January 31, 1998. The
  improved gross margin resulted from cost control measures in production,
  particularly in the areas of assembly and purchasing.

  Operating expenses were $1,139,183 for the six months ended January 31, 1998
  as compared to $661,088 for the six months ended January 31, 1997. The
  increase was primarily due to an increase in professional fees of $175,395,
  which related to the reorganization proceedings. Additionally, an increase of
  $298,879 was attributed to higher personnel costs and an increase in costs to
  support worldwide marketing efforts. The Company expects to continue its
  emphasis on marketing and sales activities in the future to support sales and
  marketing of its CYP technology both domestic and worldwide.


  Liquidity and Capital Resources
  As of January 31, 1998 the Company had working capital of $2,830,495, and had
  total cash of $228,506. The Company's overall cash needs were provided
  primarily from a $2,500,000 private placement that consummated in August of
  1997. Cash used in operations totaled $2,376,773, of which $795,328 was used
  to reduce liabilities subject to the Plan of Reorganization and $623,111 was
  used for inventory. Management believes its current cash needs will be
  adequately provided from anticipated cash generated from operations and
  short-term borrowings.

  Long-term cash requirements, other than normal operating expenses, are
  anticipated for development and enhancement of CYP technology, financing
  anticipated growth and possible acquisitions of certain businesses
  complementary to the Company's business.


  PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

  No reports on Form 8-K were filed by Registrant during the quarterly period
