                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  Management Opinion

     In the opinion of management the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal,
recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of results for such
periods.  The results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of
results for the full year.  Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been omitted.  These consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with financial statements and notes
thereto for the year ended December 31, 1994.

2.  Other Expense, Net

     Included in other expense, net are:  currency transactions, $.1 million
income in 1995 and $.5 million expense in 1994, pre-receivable sales, $.2
million in 1994, amortization of debt issuance costs and loan origination fees
of $.4 million in 1995 and $.2 million in 1994, interest rate protection
agreements, $.3 million income in 1995, and other miscellaneous expenses none of
which are significant in 1995 and 1994.

3.  Earnings Per Share

     Earnings per share on common stock are computed using the weighted average
number of shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock outstanding during each
year.  Options granted under the Company's stock option plans were not dilutive
at March 31, 1995 and 1994.  The convertible subordinated debentures are not
common stock equivalents and will not affect primary earnings per share.
Further, the convertible subordinated debentures were not dilutive at March 31,
1995 and 1994.

4.  Income Taxes

     The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 1995
was 40.0% as compared to 43.0% for the same period last year and approximates
the anticipated effective tax rate for the full year 1995.  The decrease is due
principally to the fact that the 1994 rate included an accrual of net charges
associated with prior years resulting from both U.S. and non-U.S. examinations.

5.  Debt

     In March 1995, the Company amended its existing $125 million revolving
credit agreement, with its principal banks in the United States, to increase the
banks' commitment to $150 million and to extend the maturity to the year 2000
with more favorable terms.  Pricing will be based on a margin over floating rate
cost of banks' funding and varies depending upon the Company's performance.

6.  Supplementary Cash Flow Information

     Interest paid for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 was $6.8
million and $3.4 million, respectively.

     Taxes paid for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 were $.6
million and $5.7 million, respectively.

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

                   FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

Net sales increased to $154.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1995
compared with $131.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1994.   The
effect of the weaker U.S. dollar as compared to the first quarter of 1994 was to
increase net sales by $3.0 million.  Excluding this effect, 1995 net sales
increased 15.0%.  All geographic regions reported sales increases with the
exception of Mexico, which was affected by the peso devaluation.

The Company continues to gain market share in Forming Fabrics and Dryer Fabrics
and retain its Press Fabrics market share.  During the three months ended March
31, 1995, price increases of 5% for the United States, 6% for Canada and for
selective European markets and Mexico became effective.  It is expected that the
average effect of price increases for the full year will be approximately 3%.

Gross profit was 40.8% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1995 as
compared to 38.2% for the three months ended March 31, 1994.  Year to date
variable costs as a percent of net sales increased from 31.2% in 1994 to 31.9%
for the same period in 1995, due mainly to increased sales of product lines with
higher cost to sales dollar ratios.

Selling, technical, general and research expenses increased 13.8% for  the three
months ended March 31, 1995 as compared to the three months ended March 31,
1994.  The translation of non-U.S. currencies into more U.S. dollars increased
those expenses by $1.2 million.  Excluding this effect, expenses would have
increased 10.8%. Temporary increases associated with the introduction of a new
Press Fabric product and exchange losses on trade receivables, principally in
Europe, accounted for a significant portion of the increase.

Operating income as a percentage of net sales increased to 11.8% for the three
months ended March 31,1995 from 8.3% for the comparable period in 1994 due to
items discussed above.  Management anticipates that operating income as a
percentage of net sales should continue to improve in 1995.

Interest expense increased compared to the three months ended March 31, 1994 due
to higher interest rates and higher total debt.

The tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 1995 is 40.0% as compared to
43.0% for the comparable period in 1994 and approximates the anticipated
effective rate for the full year 1995.  The rate decrease is due principally to
the fact that the 1994 rate included an accrual of net charges associated with
prior years resulting from both U.S. and non-U.S. examinations.


                                     5

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

Inventories increased $5.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 1995
due to the weakening U.S. dollar and high orders which resulted in some building
of inventory in anticipation of future sales.

In March 1995, the Company amended its existing $125 million revolving credit
agreement,  with its principal banks in the United States, to increase the banks
commitment to $150 million and to extend the maturity to the year 2000 with more
favorable terms.  Pricing will be based on a margin over floating rate cost of
banks funding and varies depending upon the Company's performance.  Management
believes that the unused line, in combination with expected free cash flows,
should be sufficient to meet operating requirements and for business
opportunities and acquisitions which support corporate strategies to enhance
value to customers and shareholders.

Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 1995 were $8.9 million
as compared to $8.0 million for the same period last year.  The Company
anticipates that capital expenditures for the full year will be approximately
$40 million.  The Company will finance these expenditures with cash from
operations and existing credit facilities.

A cash dividend of $.0875 per share, which was declared for the fourth quarter
of 1994, was paid in the first quarter of 1995.  The Company also declared a
cash dividend of $.0875 per share for the first quarter of 1995 which will be
paid in the second quarter of this year.

<FN>

   (4) Incremental shares of exercisable options are calculated based on the
       higher of the average price of the Company's stock or the ending price
       for the respective period.  The calculation includes all options whose
       exercise price is below the higher of the average or ending stock price.


   (5) The subordinated debentures are convertible into 5,712,450 shares of the
       Company's Class A common stock. There were no conversions as of March 31,
       1995.  Upon any conversion, the Company would realize an after-tax income
       adjustment based on the effective interest expense on the bonds less the
       corresponding income tax deduction.  The full amount of the shares and
       the income adjustment will be included in the calculation only when they
       cause dilution to net income per share.
