                        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.

   financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal
   recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial
   position as of April 2, 1994 and the results of its consolidated operations
   and its consolidated cash flows for the quarters ended April 2, 1994 and
   April 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
   quarter ended April 2, 1994 and April 3, 1993 are for 13 weeks each. 
   Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results
   that may be expected for the full year.

        Unless the context otherwise requires, the "Company" means The Bibb
   Company (formerly The NTC Group, Inc.), a Delaware corporation, and its
   predecessor, The Bibb Company, a Georgia corporation.

   3.  INVESTMENT IN 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.  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.  The Company believes
   that the consideration received from Woods was fair to the Company from a
   financial point of view.

   4.  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.

   </TABLE>

        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 provides 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.

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

   (a)  Results of Operations

        Net sales for the quarter ended April 2, 1994 were $101,454,000, a
   decrease of $9,693,000, or 8.7% from the comparable prior year period.  The
   decrease in sales was primarily due to reduced sales of terry products in
   the first quarter resulting from the loss of an important terry program at
   a major retailer following its decision to go with branded merchandise and
   the sales of juvenile products returning to normal levels during the first
   quarter of 1994 after exceptionally strong sales in the year earlier
   period.  The decline in terry and juvenile sales was partially offset by
   continuing sales increases in the Company's Royalton(trademark) and adult
   bedding lines and improvement in the Company's institutional sheets
   business.  The Company has made substantial progress in the first quarter
   in replacing the lost terry volume.

        The Company's gross profit for the first quarter of 1994 was
   $14,691,000, or 14.5% of net sales compared to $16,247,000, or 14.6% of net
   sales for the comparable prior year period.  The 1994 first quarter gross
   margin decline was a result of the decrease in sales volume discussed
   above, and the related curtailment of plant operating schedules in the
   terry operations.  This was partially offset by continuing increases in
   revenues and margins in the Company's Royalton(trademark) line as well as
   manufacturing cost improvements resulting from the Company's continuing
   cost reduction program.

        Selling and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 1994 were
   $10,699,000, or 10.5% of net sales compared to $10,115,000, or 9.1% of net
   sales for the comparable prior year.  The increases in selling and
<PAGE>



   administrative expenses resulted primarily from additional marketing and
   sales efforts to further develop the Royalton(trademark) and designer
   product lines.

        As a result of the above factors, operating profit for the quarter
   decreased to $2,992,000, compared to $5,132,000 in the prior year.

        Interest expense for the quarter declined to $6,191,000 compared to
   $6,721,000 for the prior year, primarily as a result of the Refinancing
   (defined below) in August 1993.

        For the quarter, the Company had a net loss of $3,588,000 compared to
   a net loss of $1,430,000 in the comparable prior year period.
   <PAGE>
   (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 provides 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.

        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.
