Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
In 1998, the Company entered into a recapitalization transaction obtaining
additional debt and equity whereby Code, Hennessy & Simmons III, L.P. obtained a
majority interest in the Company and certain continuing shareholders retained a
minority interest. Assets and liabilities of the Company were carried at
historical cost bases and distributions to certain Company shareholders were
recorded as a distribution from retained earnings. The recapitalization
transaction was financed with $50 million of equity and $295 million of debt. As
a result of the transaction, the aggregate indebtedness for borrowed money and
interest expense increased and shareholders' equity decreased.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31,
1998
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1999 decreased $2.8 million,
or 6.1%, to $43.6 million from $46.4 million in the comparable prior year
period. The decrease is primarily related to a decrease in latex fiber sales,
while fine denier and heavy denier spandex sales had slight decreases and
increases, respectively, that offset each other.
Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 1999 decreased $2.7
million, or 16.5%, to $13.7 million from $16.4 million in the comparable prior
year period. The Company's gross margin as a percentage of net sales decreased
to 31.3% from 35.2%. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to foreign
pricing pressure on fine denier spandex and a decrease in latex fiber sales
volume.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 decreased $0.1 million, or 1.3%, to $6.2 million from $6.3
million in the comparable prior year period. As a percentage of net sales,
selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 14.2% from 13.5%.
Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1999
increased $0.1 million, or 7.9%, to $1.2 from $1.1 million. Research and
development expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 2.7% from 2.3%.
The increase is attributed to the development of a new heavy denier spandex
fiber.
Net interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 1999 increased
$6.9 million to $7.8 million from $0.9 million for the comparable prior year
period. The increase in interest expense was directly attributable to the
recapitalization of the Company.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash used by operating activities was $9.2 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 as compared to cash provided by operating activities of
$10.9 million for the comparable prior year period. The reduction in cash
provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was
due to increases in interest expense, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses,
prepaid taxes, and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses. This
reduction was partially offset by a decrease in inventory balances, and
increases in the note payable, accretion on discounted notes and depreciation
and amortization.
-6-
<PAGE>
The average days sales outstanding for accounts receivable was
approximately 63 days for the three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to 55
days for the comparable prior year period. The increase in days sales
outstanding is due to increases in export sales which had extended payment
terms. Inventory balances decreased $2.0 million from December 31, 1998,
primarily due to a 15.4% increase in net sales for the three months ended March
31, 1999 compared to the three months ended December 31, 1998. The note payable
increased $11.2 million primarily due to an interest payment due on the senior
subordinated notes.
Capital expenditures, including capital leases, were $2.5 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to $7.1 million the comparable prior
year period. Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 1999
consisted primarily of expenditures for the expansion of the Tuscaloosa
facility.
As part of the recapitalization transaction, the Company entered into a
Senior Credit Facility consisting of a $115.0 million term loan facility, which
was fully drawn upon the consummation of the transaction and a $50.0 million
revolving loan facility. The revolving loan facility is available for general
corporate and working capital purposes.
Impact of the Year 2000 Issue
The year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using
two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the Company's
computer programs that have date-sensitive software may recognize a date using
"00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000.
If the Company, its significant customers or suppliers fail to make
necessary modifications and conversions on a timely basis, the year 2000 issue
could have a material adverse effect on Company operations. However, the impact
cannot be quantified at this time. The Company believes that its competitors
face similar risks.
The Company has established a corporate-wide project team to identify non-
compliant software and complete the corrections required for the year 2000
issue. The Company has completed its repairs for major manufacturing systems in
all locations. The Company also completed its repair of its major financial
systems. The Company's current target is to resolve compliance issues in its
distribution systems and other ancillary systems by July 31, 1999. The Company
also has made inquiry of its major customers and suppliers to assess their
compliance. There can be no assurance that there will not be a material adverse
effect on the Company if third party governmental or business entities do not
convert or replace their systems in a timely manner and in a way that is
compatible with the Company's systems.
Costs related to the year 2000 issue are funded through operating cash
flows. Through March 31, 1999, the Company expended approximately $200,000 in
systems development and remediation efforts, including the cost of new software
and modifying the applicable code of existing software. The Company estimates
remaining costs to be between $25,000 and $75,000. The Company presently
believes that the total cost of achieving year 2000 compliant systems will not
be material to the Company's financial condition, liquidity or results of
operations.
-7-
<PAGE>
Time and cost estimates are based on currently available information.
Developments that could affect estimates include, but are not limited to, the
availability and cost of trained personnel, the ability to locate and correct
all relevant computer code and systems and remediation success of the Company's
customers and suppliers.
Forward-Looking Information
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking
statements, including, without limitation, statements concerning the Company's
future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected costs and plans
and objectives of management for future operations. These forward-looking
statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (which do not apply to initial public
offerings). Forward- looking statements generally can be identified by the use
of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "intend,"
"estimate," "anticipate," "believe," "should," "plans," or "continue" or the
negative thereof or variations thereon or similar terminology. Although the
Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking
statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will
prove to have been correct. These forward-looking statements are subject to a
number of risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, those related
to the Company's substantial leverage and debt service requirements, the
Company's dependence on significant customers and on certain suppliers, the
effects of competition on the Company, the risks related to environmental,
health and safety laws and regulations, the Company's exposure to foreign sales
risk and the cyclicality of the textile industry, risks related to the year 2000
issue, and the other factors discussed in the Company's filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Actual results could differ materially from
these forward-looking statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
The Company's market risk disclosure set forth in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K have not changed significantly through the three months
ended March 31, 1999.
Part II Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In April 1997 two domestic purchasers of extruded latex thread filed a
complaint against a number of foreign manufacturers and distributors of such
thread, including an Indonesian limited liability company in which Globe
Holdings then owned a 40% interest (the "Joint Venture"). The complaint alleged
an international conspiracy to restrain trade in, and fix prices of, the thread
in the U.S. The Company was not named as a defendant in the case. The Joint
Venture alleged in its motion to dismiss that not all parties to the conspiracy
had been joined. There can be no assurance that the Company will not be named
in the future. The Company is entitled to indemnification from, among other
items, any liabilities arising out of any criminal or civil antitrust claims or
investigations resulting from the above-described proceedings to the extent
related to the Company's activities prior to the recapitalization transaction in
1998. This indemnity expires on December 31, 2001.
-8-
<PAGE>
The U.S. Department of Commerce has imposed anti-dumping duties on
Indonesian extruded latex producers. Additional duties of 28.29% have been
levied on extruded latex thread imported from Indonesia from May 1999 going
forward.
From time to time, the Company has been and is involved in various legal
proceedings, all of which management believes are routine in nature and
generally incidental to the conduct of its business. The ultimate legal and
financial liability of the Company with respect to such proceedings cannot be
estimated with certainty, but the Company believes, based on its examination of
such matters, that none of such proceedings, if determined adversely to the
Company, would have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of
operations, financial condition and its ability to meet its obligations under
the Company's existing debt.
Item 2. Changes in Securities

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
