                   NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 The  accompanying condensed  consolidated  financial statements  have  been
prepared  pursuant to  the      rules and  regulations of  the Securities  and
Exchange Commission.   Certain information  and note     disclosures  normally
included in  annual consolidated  financial statements prepared  in accordance
with generally accepted  accounting principles  have  been condensed  or
omitted  pursuant to those  rules and      regulations.  It  is suggested that
these condensed  consolidated financial statements  be read in     conjunction
with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
for the    year ended January 1, 1994.  

In  the  opinion of  management,  the  accompanying unaudited  consolidated
financial statements contain    all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) necessary  to present fairly  the Company's      financial
position as of July 2, 1994 and the results of its consolidated operations and
its consolidated    cash flows for  the six months ended July 2, 1994 and July
3, 1993.  Certain prior  year amounts have    been reclassified  to agree with
current year presentation.

Annual results of operations of the Company have been reported  for the 52-
or 53-week period    ending nearest December 31.  Interim results for  the six
months ended July 2, 1994 and July 3, 1993     are for 26 weeks each.  Interim
results of operations  are not necessarily  indicative of the  results that   
may be expected for the full year.

2. SIGNIFICANT  ITEMS AFFECTING  FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS

   Following  a comprehensive review of  the operations of  the Company, which
was completed in July    1994, the  Company implemented a number of changes to
improve future operating  performance.     These changes included a) a plan to
reduce  overall costs,  including restructuring  the Company's      management
organization and b) a plan to dispose of the Company's terry products
business.

Management Organization and Cost Reduction Program

  In  July 1994,  the Company  implemented a  cost reduction  program, which,
among other things,    included restructuring the Company's management
organization and  the sales and  marketing     operation relating  to consumer
products,  resulting  in a  significant reduction  in management  staff and   
<PAGE>
other employees.  Because this program was not approved and implemented  until
the third quarter  of    1994, the full  benefit of the cost reduction program
will not be realized until the fourth quarter of    1994.

Discontinued Operations - Terry Products Business

  In August 1994, the  Board of Directors of  the Company approved a  plan to
dispose  of the  Company's      terry products  business, which  includes bath
towels and other terry products  sold primarily to retail    chains, specialty
chains and mass merchants, as well as to hotels, hospitals  and others serving
the     hospitality market (the "Terry Disposition"), but does not include the
Company's damask table linen     products.   It would include the sale  of the
Company's  manufacturing and  distribution  facilities, and       related  net
working  capital, located  in  Roanoke Rapids  and Goldsboro,  North Carolina.
Proceeds    from the Terry Disposition are expected to be applied  against the
Company's outstanding    indebtedness and used for working capital purposes.

  The  terry products business that  is the subject  of the Terry Disposition
has been accounted  for as a     discontinued operation and,  accordingly, the
operating results and net assets relating thereto have     been segregated and
reported as "Discontinued Operations" in the accompanying financial
statements.     
<PAGE>
   Summarized  results of operations for  the terry products  business were as
follows:

and $2,000,000 for  the six  months ended July  2, 1994  and July 3,  1993,   
respectively.

  The  financial statements for the  prior periods have  been reclassified to
conform to the current    periods' presentation.

4.INVESTMENT  IN AFFILIATE   - T.B. WOOD'S SONS COMPANY

  On April  2, 1993, T.B. Wood's  Sons Company ("Woods") acquired  new product
lines and completed a   recapitalization.   In settlement of amounts owing  on
the note payable to the Company ("Woods Note"),   the  Company received a cash
payment of  $5,560,000,  two new  notes  and a  warrant  exercisable by  the  
Company  to purchase  up to  125,000  shares of  common stock  of Woods  at an
exercise price of $.01  per   share.  The new notes  received consist of (i) a
ten-year, $13,218,000 subordinated promissory note, with   interest of
$576,000 payable semi-annually, except that until the third anniversary of the
date of said   note, the  interest due thereunder on any interest payment date
shall be  added to the outstanding    principal of  the note, and  (ii) a ten-
year, $2,000,000   non-interest bearing, subordinated promissory    note.   If
the $2,000,000 note is not repaid within three years, the Company will receive
a second   warrant which  will be exercisable by the Company for  the purchase
of up to an additional 62,500 shares   of common stock of Woods at an exercise
price  of $.01  per  share.   The Company  believes that  the    consideration
received from Woods was fair to the Company from a financial point of view.

5.INCOME TAXES

  In June  1989, the  stockholders  of the  Company filed  elections with  the
Internal Revenue Service and    certain state taxing authorities to be treated
as an S  Corporation beginning  April 2, 1989.   As  an S    Corporation,  the
Company  generally will  not be subject  to corporate  level taxes  on its net
income   because such income  will be attributed to the Company's stockholders
and taxes on such income will   be directly payable by them.  As a result, the
Company generally intends to make quarterly   distributions to its
stockholders in amounts equal to such taxes estimated to be payable by them.

  Subsequent to the  S Corporation  election, the Company  remains subject  to
state and  local income    taxes  in certain states  and municipalities.   The
Company  has net  operating loss carryforwards  available    to  offset future
taxable income in these states and municipalities.

6.LONG-TERM DEBT

  Long-term debt consisted of the following (thousands of dollars):

</TABLE>

  In 1993, the Company decided to sell certain of its trade accounts
receivable (the "Receivables") in the   Trade Receivables Transaction
(described below).   Inasmuch as the Receivables served as  collateral   under
the Company's then  outstanding senior  credit facility, the  Company and  its
senior  lenders agreed    to  refinance the  senior credit  facility to, among
other things, release from  collateral the Receivables.    Accordingly, at the
same time that it entered into the Trade Receivables Transaction, the Company 
and its  senior lenders entered  into a  new revolving  credit agreement  (the
"Credit Agreement")   providing for a new credit facility with a term expiring
in  August 1996,  under which  the Company  was    permitted  to borrow  up to
$45,000,000 for working capital  purposes (up to $20,000,000  of which could  
be issued as letters of credit) ( the "Credit Facility").

  On  July 25,  1994, the Company  and its  senior lenders  amended the Credit
Agreement (the   "Amendment") effective July 2, 1994.  Among other things, the
Amendment (i) increased the  amount   the Company may  borrow under the Credit
Facility  from $45,000,000  to  $60,000,000 subject  to  certain     specified
borrowing base requirements (and  increased the amount which may be  issued as
letters of    credit from $20,000,000 to $25,000,000), which amount is subject
to  permanent reduction in the event    of certain mandatory prepayments, (ii)
shortened the term of the Credit Agreement to January 1, 1996,   (iii) further
restricted  the amounts of  certain "Restricted Junior  Payments" (as defined)
payable under    certain circumstances, (iv) revised certain  of the financial
tests contained in  the restrictive covenants to    levels that better reflect
the Company's recent operating results, and (v) added an additional financial 
covenant requiring the Company  to meet a minimum  cash flow test.  Under  the
Amendment, the    Credit Facility  will be reduced to  $55,000,000 on December
15,  1994.  The  Amendment also  deleted    certain financial  covenants to be
tested as  of July 2, 1994  (with which the Company  would not have    been in
compliance)  and said deletion constituted  the senior lenders'  waiver of the
Company's failure   to comply with those covenants as of that date.

  The "Trade Receivables Transaction" involved the sale of the Receivables for
a cash purchase price of    $50,000,000.  During the term (fifty-seven months)
of the Trade Receivables Transaction, the cash   generated  by the Receivables
will be used  to purchase additional Receivables originated by  the   Company,
among other things.

7.SUBSEQUENT EVENT - FLOOD DISRUPTION
<PAGE>
  During  the first  week in July  1994, heavy  rains and  flooding in central
Georgia disrupted the    operations at three of  the Company's plants and  the
Macon administrative headquarters.   While  there    was no material  physical
damage  to these  plants, operations were  curtailed.   In addition,  a minor 
amount of  inventory at one storage  location was water damaged.   The Company
carries business    interruption  insurance and  plans to submit  a claim  for
these losses, subject to the policy deductibles   and exclusions. 

Item  2.  Management's  Discussion and Analysis  of Results of  Operations and
          Liquidity and Capital   Resources

(a)Results of Operations

  As discussed in Note 2 to the Company's financial statements, a
comprehensive review of the    operations of the Company was completed in July
1994  which resulted in a  number of changes.   These     changes included the
implementation of a significant cost reduction program in July, and   
reorganization of the management structure and the sales and marketing
organization related to    consumer products.  In connection with this
restructuring, Edgar  Davis  resigned as  President  and      Chief  Operating
Officer and  Thomas C.  Foley  assumed those  positions,  in addition  to  his
positions  as     Chairman  and Chief  Executive Officer of  the Company.   In
addition, the decision was made to dispose    of the Company's  terry products
business.   The  operating results  and net  assets  related to  the terry    
products business  are reflected in  the accompanying financial  statements as
"Discontinued       Operations."   Accordingly,  the discussion  which follows
addresses the results of operations for the     Company's continuing business,
which includes the Company's Engineered products group, the    Apparel
products group and the Bedding products group, which includes products for the
consumer    and hospitality markets, unless otherwise indicated.

Results of Continuing Operations

  Net sales for the quarter and six months ended July 2,1994 were $85,382,000
and  $165,244,000,      respectively.   Net  sales  for the  quarter decreased
$11,086,000 or 11.5% from the comparable prior    year period, and $11,728,000
or 6.6% for  the six month  period.  The  Company's performance in  the second
quarter and  first half was impacted  by a faster than  anticipated decline in
sales  of juvenile  licensed bedding  products, particularly  licensed bedding
products  bearing the Barney   (trademark) theme and  character, compared with
the prior year  period and first  quarter of 1994.   This decline in  juvenile
sales resulted  in a decline  in overall sales,  and high close  out and other
inventory  related  losses.    Increased sales  of  lower  margin  promotional
consumer products partially offset the decline in juvenile products sales, but
adversely impacted margins and profitability.

  Gross profit  for the second quarter  was $9,666,000 or 11.3%  of sales and
for the six months was    $23,450,000 or 14.2% of sales.  This was  a decrease
of $9,592,000 and $9,788,000 from the comparable    prior year quarter and six
months, respectively.  Gross profit was primarily affected as a result of the 
sales mix, with less  sales of juvenile bedding products, which  carry higher
profit margins, and  more     sales of  promotional adult bedding products  at
lower margins.  While sales and margins increased in    the Company's Royalton
trademark) (line, the  increase was  not enough  to make  up for  the loss  of
margin from juvenile bedding products.

  Selling and administrative expenses  were $9,264,000 or 10.8% of  net sales
for the quarter ended  July    2, 1994 as compared  with $8,592,000 or 8.9% of
net  sales for  the comparable prior  year period and      were $17,689,000 or
10.7% of net  sales for the six months  ended July 2, 1994 as compared  with  
$16,175,000 or  9.1% for the comparable  prior year period.   The increases in
1994 were  the  result of      additional  selling and  marketing expenses  to
develop  the Company's Royalton  and adult product  lines,     and  included a
$477,000 bad debt charge as a result of terminating a distributor relationship
in    Canada.  

  Operating profit for the quarter  from continuing operations was a loss  of
$598,000, compared to  a     profit  of $9,666,000 in  the prior year  period.
Operating  profit for  the six  months ended  July 2,  1994      of $3,761,000
compared to $15,063,000 in the prior  year period.  These decreases  primarily
reflect the      items discussed  above with  respect to sales  mix and  cost.

  Interest expense for the quarter and six    months was $5,722,000 and
$11,113,000, respectively, which was comparable to the prior year periods.

  For  the quarter and six months, the  Company had a net loss of $13,253,000
and $16,841,000 compared     with net income  of $1,113,000 and a net  loss of
$317,000 in  the comparable prior year  periods, as a     result  of the items
discussed above.

  For information concerning  the results of the discontinued  operations see
Note 2 to Consolidated    Financial Statements.

(b)Liquidity and Capital Resources

   In  August 1993, the Company refinanced its senior revolving credit facility
(the "Refinancing").  The Refinancing consisted of the Company's entering into
a  new  revolving  credit   agreement  with  existing  lenders   (the  "Credit
Agreement") and the Trade  Receivables Transaction (as described below).   The
Credit Agreement initially provided for a three-year revolving credit facility
(the  "Credit  Facility"), under  which  the  Company   may  borrow  up to  an
aggregate  of $45,000,000 for working  capital purposes (up  to $20,000,000 of
which may be issued as letters of credit). The "Trade Receivables Transaction"
involved the sale of  certain trade accounts receivable ("Receivables")  for a
cash purchase price of $50,000,000.    During the term (fifty-seven months) of
the  Trade Receivables Transaction, the cash generated by the Receivables will
be  used to purchase additional  Receivables originated by  the Company, among
other  things.   As a  result  of the  Refinancing, the  Company's ability  to
finance its working capital needs was increased.

  On July  25, 1994, the  Company and its  senior lenders amended  the Credit
Agreement,  effective July 2,     1994 (the "Amendment").  Among other things,
the  Amendment (i) increased  the amount the     Company  may borrow under the
Credit Facility from  $45,000,000 to $60,000,000 (and increased the     amount
which may  be issued  as letters of  credit from $20,000,000  to $25,000,000),
which amount  is     subject  to permanent reduction  in the event  of certain
mandatory  prepayments  and subject  to certain      specified  borrowing base
requirements, (ii) shortened the term of the Credit  Agreement to January 1,  
1996,  (iii)  further restricted  the  amounts of  certain  "Restricted Junior
Payments" (as  defined),     including management fees,  payable under certain
circumstances, (iv) revised certain of the financial    tests contained in the
restrictive  covenants  to levels  that  better reflect  the  Company's recent
operating    results, and (v) added an additional financial covenant requiring
the Company  to meet a minimum     cash  flow test.  Under  the Amendment, the
Credit Facility will be reduced  to $55,000,000 on    December 15,  1994.  The
Amendment also deleted certain financial covenants  to be tested as of July   
2,  1994 (with which the  Company would not have been  in compliance) and said
deletion constituted    the senior lenders' waiver of the Company's failure to
comply with those covenants as of that date.

 The  Company experiences  significant fluctuations  in its  working capital
requirements primarily     associated with its  retail customers' late  summer
and fall inventory purchasing.  The Company's    primary ongoing cash
requirements  will  be to  fund debt  service,  make capital  expenditures and
finance    working capital.  The Company expects that its internally generated
funds from operations, supplemented by   
borrowings  under the Credit Agreement,  the Trade Receivables Transaction and
other external    sources will be sufficient to meet its debt service
requirements, capital expenditures and working    capital  needs.  In order to
reduce  its cost  of borrowing,  the Company  intends to  take advantage of   
favorable purchase money financing and other types of borrowings.

(c)Subsequent Events

   During  the first week  in July 1994,  heavy rains and  flooding in central
Georgia disrupted the     operations at three of the Company's plants  and the
Macon administrative  headquarters.  While there     was  no material physical
damage to these  plants, operations were curtailed.   In addition,  a minor   
amount of  inventory at one storage  location was water damaged.   The Company
carries business     interruption insurance  and plans to  submit a claim  for
these losses, subject to the policy deductibles and exclusions.

            (1.75%) per annum and the Eurodollar Rate Margin
            shall be reduced to three percent (3.00%) per annum
            as of the date the Agent first receives the
            Financial Statements of the Borrower and its
            Subsidiaries required by the terms of Section
            7.01(b) confirming that EBITDA, as determined as of
            the last day of the then immediately preceding two
            consecutive fiscal quarters of the Borrower for each
            of the twelve-month periods ending on the last day
            of each such fiscal quarter, equals at least
            $40,000,000, which reduction shall continue in
            effect until EBITDA, as determined on the last day
<PAGE>



            of any succeeding fiscal quarter of the Borrower for
            the twelve-month period ending on such day, is less
            than $40,000,000.
            1.6  Section 9.05 to add the following provision at
  the end thereof:

            provided, however, that until the Revolving Credit
            Commitments are reduced by an aggregate of
            $15,000,000 as provided in Section 3.01(c) by
            application of Net Proceeds of Sale as provided in
            Section 3.01(d), the permitted Restricted Junior
            Payments referenced in clause 9.05(a) shall be
            calculated quarterly, as of the last day of each
            fiscal quarter of Borrower for the fiscal quarters
            of Borrower then ending after July 2, 1994, based on
            a comparison (on a cumulative basis) of (i) the
            actual EBITDA of the Borrower as reflected in the
            financial reports delivered to the Agent and the
            Lenders with respect to such fiscal quarters
            ("Actual EBITDA") to (ii) the projected EBITDA of
            the Borrower as reflected in Borrower's management
            plan dated June 21, 1994 delivered to the Agent and
            the Lenders ("Projected EBITDA") for such fiscal
            quarters and, (A) in the event the Actual EBITDA for
            the period of determination is equal to (or, with
            respect to the first such period of determination,
            is equal to or exceeds) the Projected EBITDA for
            such period, the amount of the permitted Restricted
            Junior Payment shall equal $1,000,000 per fiscal
            quarter in such period of determination, (B) in the
            event the Actual EBITDA for the period of
            determination is less than the Projected EBITDA for
            such period, the amount of the permitted Restricted
            Junior Payment per fiscal quarter in such period of
            determination shall equal $1,000,000 minus the
            difference (up to $250,000 per fiscal quarter)
            between the Actual EBITDA and the Projected EBITDA
            for such period, and (C) in the event the Actual
            EBITDA for the period of determination is greater
            than the Projected EBITDA for such period, the
            amount of the permitted Restricted Junior Payment as
            of the end of such period of determination shall
            equal (1) $1,000,000 times the number of fiscal
            quarters in such period of determination minus (2)
            the aggregate amount of such Restricted Junior
            Payments actually made for the fiscal quarters in
            such period of determination. Unless and until the
            aggregate amount of such permitted Restricted Junior
            Payments as of a given date of determination equals
            a negative number, Borrower shall be permitted to
            make up to $750,000 in such Restricted Junior
            Payments in any fiscal quarter of the Borrower. From
            and after such date of determination on which the
            aggregate amount of such permitted Restricted Junior
            Payments equals a negative number, Borrower shall
            make no further such Restricted Junior Payments
            until such aggregate amount equals or exceeds zero,
            whereupon the provisions of clauses (A), (B), and
            (C) shall be applicable. Any amount of such
            Restricted Junior Payments in excess of $750,000
<PAGE>



            paid for any fiscal quarter of the Borrower shall be
            payable only upon delivery of the required
            supporting financial reports to the Agent and the
            Lenders.
