NOTE C--LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS

      In August 1997, the Company issued $125,000,000 principal amount of 9.75%
Senior Subordinated Notes due September 1, 2007 (the "Subordinated Notes"). The
Subordinated Notes are unsecured senior subordinated obligations and are
subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all senior
indebtedness. The Subordinated Notes are guaranteed by all of the Company's
subsidiaries (the "Guarantors"). Separate financial statements of the
Guarantors are not included herein because: (a) the Company is a holding
company with no assets or operations other than its investments in its
subsidiaries; (b) the Guarantors are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company
and have fully and unconditionally guaranteed the Subordinated Notes on a joint
and several basis; (c) the Guarantors comprise all of the direct and indirect
subsidiaries of the Company; and (d) management believes that such information
is not material to investors.

NOTE C--LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS (continued)

      Effective August 19, 1999, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement,
replacing its existing credit facility, consisting of a three-year $84,000,000
revolving line of credit (the "Revolver") and a three-year $26,000,000 term
loan (the "Term Loan"). Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at
either LIBOR plus a specified margin currently equal to 2.75% for the Revolver
and 3.25% for the Term Loan, or, at the Company's option, bear interest at the
lender's base rate (the base rate was 8.5% at January 1, 2000) plus a margin
equal to 1.0%, for the Revolver and 1.5% for the Term Loan. The availability
under the Revolver is limited at all times, through maturity, to a receivables
and inventory borrowing base.

NOTE E--PENSION

      The Company elected to freeze benefits under its salaried and hourly
defined benefit pension plans as of December 31, 1999. This resulted in the
recognition of a curtailment gain on the salary plan of approximately
$1,700,000. Also, in connection with the curtailment of the hourly plan, the
Company recognized additional minimum pension liability of $456,000 (net of
applicable taxes of $245,000). The additional minimum pension liability has
been recorded as accumulated other comprehensive loss on the balance sheet at
January 1, 2000.

NOTE G--RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

      During the third quarter 1999, the Company implemented a reorganization
plan related to its textile business. The textile business had been running at
less than full capacity due to the domestic circular knit industry experiencing
excess supply and low-priced garment imports from Asia. The duration of these
market conditions is uncertain. In response to these business conditions, the
Company decided to reduce its U.S. manufacturing capacity. The major elements
of the reorganization plan include the closing of the Company's facility in
Hamilton, North Carolina and the elimination of yarn spinning operations at the
Company's Trenton, Tennessee facilities which were completed during the fourth
quarter. Additionally, the plan resulted in the reduction of approximately 500
hourly and salaried employees, with severance benefits being paid over periods
up to twelve months from the termination date. At October 2, 1999 substantially
all employees had been terminated or notified of their impending termination.

      The cost of the reorganization was reflected as a restructuring charge,
before income taxes, of $10,993,000, recorded in the third quarter 1999,
increased by $585,000 during the fourth quarter. The components of the charge
included $4,499,000 million for severance and related fringe benefits and
$7,079,000 for the write-down of impaired fixed assets. Assets that are no
longer in use have been sold or are held for sale at January 1, 2000 and were
written down to their estimated fair values less costs of sale based primarily
on independent appraisals.

      The Company is actively marketing the assets held for sale through the
use of internal sources and outside agents. Assets held for sale were
$2,641,000 at January 1, 2000. The timing of the disposal of these assets is
not easily determined, but management of the Company does not believe any
significant sales will likely occur within one year. As a result of the
restructuring, the Company has idle assets of approximately $1.9 million which
continue to be depreciated.

NOTE H--REPORTING SEGMENT INFORMATION

      The Company has adopted SFAS No. 131, Disclosure About Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information. SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the
reporting by public companies of information about operating segments, products
and services, geographic areas and major customers. The method of determining
what information to report is based on the way management organizes the
segments within the Company for making operating decisions and assessing
financial performance.

      The Company's chief operating decision-maker is considered to be the
Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"). The Company's CEO evaluates both consolidated
and disaggregated financial information in deciding how to allocate recourses
and assess performance. The CEO uses certain disaggregated financial
information for the Company's primary knit fabric markets: textile and stretch
fabrics. Sales for textile and stretch fabrics for the quarters ended January
1, 2000 and January 2, 1999 were $56.7 million and $7.1 million, and $67.9
million and $7.4 million respectively. The Company has aggregated these two
markets into a single reportable textile segment as allowed under SFAS No. 131
because these product lines have similar long-term economic characteristics
such as average gross margin, and the product lines are similar in regards to
nature of production processes, type of customers, and method used to
distribute products. The Company's textile segment manufactures in U.S. plants
and markets fabric through its sales offices, principally sold to customers in
the U.S.

      The Company also has an apparel segment. The apparel segment purchases
fabric, contracts for cutting, sewing and packaging from companies in the U.S.
and Mexico, and markets the finished apparel to customers in the U.S. The
apparel segment has an equity investment in an apparel manufacturing joint
venture in the Dominican Republic, which is not material at January 1, 2000.
The Company holds a 50% equity position in the joint venture, and accordingly
does not include net sales and other items of profit and loss in its
Consolidated Statements of Operations or the following table.

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

Results of Operations

      Net sales for the quarter ended January 1, 2000, decreased by 9.3% to
$68.3 million versus $75.4 million for the same quarter of the prior year. The
decrease in net sales was primarily a result of reduced average prices of units
shipped. Gross margins for the quarter increased to 15.4% versus 14.4% for the
same period in fiscal 1999. Gross margins showed improvement due to increased
utilization of facilities that led to higher production efficiencies.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter were $6.3
million compared to $8.6 million for the same period of 1999. This decrease of
$2.3 million was primarily due to a

Results of Operations (continued)

one-time credit of approximately $1.6 million stemming from consolidation of
employee benefit plans. Bad debt expense for the quarter was $0.5 million lower
than the first quarter 1999.

      Interest expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 of $4.9 million was
lower than the same period of fiscal 1999 due to reduced borrowing levels.
Although the Company had a loss before taxes, income tax expense of $24,000 was
recorded for the quarter due to certain expense items not being deductible for
tax purposes, principally the amortization of goodwill.

      Net loss for the quarter ended January 1, 2000 was $0.6 million, or $0.05
per share, versus net loss of $1.7 million, or $0.12 per share, for the same
period in fiscal 1999. Earnings per share are the same whether calculated on a
basic or diluted basis. The weighted average number of shares outstanding for
the quarter was approximately 13,354,000.

      During the third quarter 1999, the Company implemented a reorganization
plan related to its textile business. The textile business had been running at
less than full capacity due to the domestic circular knit industry experiencing
excess supply and low-priced garment imports from Asia. The duration of these
market conditions is uncertain. In response to these business conditions, the
Company decided to reduce its U.S. manufacturing capacity. The major elements
of the reorganization plan included the closing of the Company's facility in
Hamilton, North Carolina and the elimination of yarn spinning operations at the
Company's Trenton, Tennessee facilities which were completed during the fourth
quarter. Additionally, the plan resulted in the reduction of approximately 500
hourly and salaried employees, with severance benefits being paid over periods
up to twelve months from the termination date. At October 2, 1999 substantially
all employees had been terminated or notified of their impending termination.

      The cost of the reorganization was reflected as a restructuring charge,
before income taxes, of $10,993,000, recorded in the third quarter 1999,
increased by $585,000 during the fourth quarter. The components of the charge
included $4,499,000 million for severance and related fringe benefits and
$7,079,000 for the write-down of impaired fixed assets. Assets that are no
longer in use have been sold or are held for sale at January 1, 2000 and were
written down to their estimated fair values less costs of sale based primarily
on independent appraisals.

      The Company is actively marketing the assets held for sale through the
use of internal sources and outside agents. Assets held for sale were
$2,641,000 at January 1, 2000. The timing of the disposal of these assets is
not easily determined, but management of the Company does not believe any
significant sales will likely occur within one year. As a result of the
restructuring, the Company has idle assets of $1.9 million, which continue to
be depreciated.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      Working capital decreased to $66.1 million and the current ratio
decreased to 3.2:1 at January 1, 2000, from $72.7 million and 3.5:1,
respectively, at October 2, 1999. The Company's debt-to-capital ratio was 68.2%
at January 1, 2000, compared to 68.8% at October 2, 1999.

      Net receivables of $47.6 million at January 1, 2000, decreased from the
level at October 2, 1999, due to reduced sales levels. Inventories increased to
$41.7 million at the end of the first quarter from $36.7 million at the end of
the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999 in anticipation of expected sales volume
increases during the second quarter.

      Capital expenditures for the three months ended January 1, 2000, were
$1.6 million versus $2.4 million for the same period in the prior year. Cash
outlays for capital spending are anticipated to approximate $9 million in
fiscal 2000.

      Based on the borrowing base computation within the Credit Agreement, the
amount of additional borrowing available at January 1, 2000, was approximately
$9.5 million. The Company believes that cash flow from operations and the
existing revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet operating needs
and fund the capital spending program.
