                       NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        FORM 10-QSB APRIL 30, 1995


Note 1 - Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments which
are, in the opinion of management, consisting of normal recurring adjustments
necessary to present fairly the financial condition, the results of
operations and the changes in cash flows of the Company for the interim
periods.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all of the
disclosures normally required by generally accepted accounting principles or
those normally made in the Company's annual Form 10-K filing.  Users of the
financial information for interim periods are encouraged to refer to the
footnotes contained in the Annual Report to stockholders for the year ended
July 31, 1993.


Note 2 -  Inventories:

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined
by the first-in, first-out basis.  


Note 3 - Long-term Debt

On July 23, 1993, the Company received approval on a loan for the physical
loss of inventory and other damages sustained in Hurricane Andrew in the
amount of $256,400 from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).  The
loan bears interest at 4%, is payable in monthly installments of $2,477,
including principal and interest, beginning July 1994 and matures in July
2005. It is collateralized by the Company's inventory and fixed assets.  The
Company received $175,600 in advances prior to the end of the second quarter
and $80,800 in February 1994.

ITEM 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operations.


Product sales in the third quarter ended April 30, 1995 are $1,200,112 as
compared to 1,092,030 in the same quarter of the prior year and for the nine
month period are $3,509,769 as compared to $2,522,719 in the same period last
year.  This increase in sales of $108,082 (10%) and $987,050 (39%),
respectively, is primarily due to the Company's expanded product line of
terry robes and towels resulting in new programs with new and existing
customers.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter are 
$239,789 in 1995, as compared to $183,119 in the same quarter of the prior
year and for the nine month period are $630,818 in 1995 as compared to
$496,571 in the same period of the prior year.  The increase in expenses of
$56,670 (31%)  and $134,247 (27%), respectively, in 1995 is related to the
increase in sales volume, resulting in an increase in commissions to
independent sales representatives, warehouse supplies and temporary labor. 
The third quarter increase is also due to the one time advertising allowance
to various customers of approximately $12,000 and a nonrecurring expense of
$21,000 for payment of an invoice for merchandise that was being disputed by
the Company.

Interest expense for the third quarter of 1995 is $25,943 as compared to
$6,900 in the same quarter of the prior year and for the nine months period
is $55,748 in 1995 as compared to $17,305 in the same period of the prior
year.  This increase is primarily due to the increase in notes payable to
related parties which were funded during and after the second quarter of
1994.

Net income for the third quarter ended April 30, 1995 increased to $40,959 or
$.013 per share from a net income of $11,904 or $.004 per share in the same
quarter of the prior year.  Net income for the nine month period increased to
$246,399 or $.079 per share from a net income of $2,370 or ($.001) per share.

ITEM 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
          Results of Operations



FINANCIAL CONDITION


Net cash used in operations for the nine months period ended April 30, 1995
was $1,025,067 as compared to $284,615 in the same period in 1994.  The
increase is primarily due to increase in inventory of $985,145 as compared to
a decrease of $47,743 in the same period of the prior year.  The cash used in
operations was offset by an increase in short-term borrowing from related
parties of $575,000 during the first nine months of 1995.
