NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THIRTEEN WEEK PERIOD ENDED MARCH 26, 2000
(DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)
NOTE 1: CHAPTER 11 PROCEEDINGS AND REORGANIZATION
The Company previously disclosed that The Procter & Gamble Company ("P&G") had
filed a lawsuit against it in the United States District Court for the District
of Delaware (the "Delaware District Court") alleging that the Company's "Ultra"
disposable baby diaper products infringed two of P&G's dual cuff diaper patents.
On December 30, 1997, the Delaware District Court issued a Judgment and Opinion,
(the "Delaware Judgment") which found that two of P&G's dual cuff diaper patents
were valid and infringed by certain of the Company's disposable diaper products,
while also rejecting the Company's patent infringement claims against P&G. While
the final damages number of approximately $178,400 was not entered by the
Delaware District Court until June 2, 1998, the Company originally estimated the
liability and associated litigation costs to be approximately $200,000. The
amount of the award resulted in violation of certain covenants under the
Company's then-existing bank loan agreements. As a result, the issuance of the
Delaware Judgment and the uncertainty it created caused an immediate and
critical liquidity issue for the Company.
On January 6, 1998, the Company filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. Section 101 ET SEQ., in the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the Northern District of Georgia (Case No. 98-60390) (the "Chapter 11
filing"). None of the Company's subsidiaries were included in the Chapter 11
filing.
On October 26, 1995, Kimberly-Clark Corporation ("K-C") filed a lawsuit against
the Company in U.S. District Court in Dallas, Texas, alleging infringement by
the Company's products of two K-C patents relating to dual cuffs.
On February 2, 1999, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with P&G
which fully and finally settled all matters related to the Delaware Judgment,
the Company's appeal of the Delaware Judgment, P&G's motion to find the Company
in contempt of the Delaware Judgment and P&G's proof of claim filed in the
Company's Chapter 11 reorganization proceeding. The P&G Settlement Agreement was
approved by the Bankruptcy Court on August 6, 1999 (the "P&G Approval Order").
The Official Committee of Equity Security Holders (the "Equity Committee")
appealed the P&G Approval Order.
On March 19, 1999, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with K-C
which fully and finally settled all matters related to the Texas action,
including the Company's counterclaims, and K-C's proof of claim filed in the
Company's Chapter 11 reorganization proceeding. The K-C Settlement Agreement was
approved by the Bankruptcy Court on August 6, 1999 (the "K-C Approval Order").
The Equity Committee appealed the K-C Approval Order.
On or about November 15, 1999, the Company and the Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors (the "Creditors' Committee"), as co-proponents, filed the
Second Amended Plan of Reorganization (as subsequently modified through January
13, 2000, the "Plan") and a related Disclosure Statement (as subsequently
modified through November 18, 1999, the "Disclosure Statement") with the
Bankruptcy Court. The Plan incorporated a proposed investment by Wellspring
Capital Management LLC ("Wellspring"), a private investment company, to acquire
the Company as part of a plan of reorganization (the "Wellspring Transaction").
By order dated November 18, 1999, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Disclosure
Statement. At such time, the Bankruptcy Court also approved certain voting
procedures and established January 7, 2000 as the voting deadline for the Plan
and January 13, 2000 as the date for a hearing to consider confirmation of the
Plan. A confirmation hearing was held by the Bankruptcy Court on January 13,
2000. By Order dated January 13, 2000, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Plan.
On January 28, 2000, Paragon was reorganized pursuant to the Plan through the
consummation of the Wellspring Transaction. As contemplated under the Plan, the
Equity Committee withdrew with prejudice its appeals of the P&G Approval Order
and the K-C Approval Order.

PARAGON TRADE BRANDS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
As a result of the Chapter 11 filing, the Company incurred significant costs for
professional fees. The Company was also required to pay certain expenses of the
Creditors' Committee and the Equity Committee including professional fees, to
the extent allowed by the Bankruptcy Court. Pursuant to the Plan, a reserve was
established from which any remaining professional fees and expenses related to
the Chapter 11 reorganization proceeding will be paid.
REORGANIZATION. On January 28, 2000, the Company emerged from Chapter 11
protection as contemplated under the Plan. All pre-petition obligations were
discharged. Pursuant to the Plan, Wellspring and certain of its affiliates
purchased an aggregate of 11,516,405 shares, or approximately 97 percent, of the
common stock of the reorganized Company for a cash contribution of $115,200. See
"PART II, ITEM 1:
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS."
CREDIT FACILITY. On January 28, 2000, the Company and certain subsidiaries of
the Company, as guarantors, entered into a three-year $95,000 financing facility
(the "Credit Facility") with a bank group led by Citicorp USA, Inc.
("Citicorp"). The maximum borrowing under the Credit Facility may not exceed the
lesser of $95,000 or an amount determined by a borrowing base formula. The
borrowing base formula is comprised of certain specified percentages of eligible
accounts receivable, eligible inventory, equipment and personal and real
property of the Company. The Credit Facility has a sub-limit of $15,000 for the
issuance of letters of credit. The Credit Facility contains customary financial
covenants.
SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES. On January 28, 2000, the Company issued $146,000 of
11.25 percent senior subordinated notes due 2005 (the "New Notes") as
contemplated under the Plan. The New Notes are guaranteed by certain domestic
subsidiaries and are not callable until February 1, 2003. Interest is payable
semi-annually and during the first two years can be paid in kind if free cash
flow, as defined in the Indenture, falls below projected levels. The New Notes
are subordinated in right of payment to the payment of all senior indebtedness.
The New Notes contain customary restrictive covenants.
FRESH START ACCOUNTING. The Company has recorded the reorganization and related
transactions using "fresh start accounting" as required by Statement of Position
90-7 ("SOP 90-7") issued by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants. Fresh start accounting was required because there was more than a
50% change in the ownership of the Company and the reorganization value of the
assets was less than the post-petition liabilities and allowed claims in the
bankruptcy.
The approximate $360,000 reorganization value of the Company was determined by
management, with assistance from independent financial professionals. The
methodology employed involved estimation of enterprise value which was
determined to be approximately $280,000, including approximately $15,000 in
borrowings under the Credit Facility, taking into account a discounted cash flow
analysis. Approximately $76,000 of post-petition liabilities were assumed by the
Company.
Current assets and current liabilities have been recorded at their historical
carrying values as such amounts approximate their fair market value. Property
and equipment have been recorded at their appraised value as determined by an
independent appraisal based on a "continued use value", which assumes that the
assets will be used for the purpose for which they were designed and
constructed. Property held for sale is valued at estimated net realizable value.
The Company's foreign investments were valued based on an estimation of
enterprise value taking into account a discounted cash flow analysis. Other
non-current assets are stated at historical carrying values which approximate
fair value. As the reorganization value was less that the current valuations of
the assets, as stated above, the resulting deficit was allocated proportionally
to the non-current assets.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2: BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND
REPORTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Paragon Trade
Brands, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 26, 1999, which has
been derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited interim
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 financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes
that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read
in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in
the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of
the results of the interim periods have been included. All such interim
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature except for the bankruptcy-related
costs and the extraordinary gain. The results of operations for the thirteen
week period ending March 26, 2000 should not be regarded as necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has issued Statement No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which must be
adopted in the Company's fiscal year 2001. This statement establishes accounting
and reporting standards for derivative instruments - including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts - and for hedging activities.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the statement on the Company's
financial statements.
NOTE 3: BANKRUPTCY COSTS
Bankruptcy costs were directly associated with the Company's Chapter 11
reorganization proceedings and consisted of the following:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
NOTE 4: INCOME TAXES
During the eight week period ended March 26, 2000, the Company recorded an
income tax benefit of approximately $300 which was offset by a net increase in
the valuation allowances with respect to its net deferred and other tax related
assets.
During the five week period ended January 28, 2000, the Company recorded income
tax expense of approximately $47,000 which included approximately $2,800 to
account for the effects of certain non-deductible bankruptcy costs. This expense
was offset by a decrease in the valuation allowance for its net deferred and
other tax-related assets.
Income tax expense for the subsidiaries not included in the Chapter 11 filing
was $313 during the period ended March 28, 1999. The Company recorded an income
tax benefit of approximately $3,000 during the period ended March 28, 1999,
which was offset by an increase in the valuation allowances with respect to its
net deferred and other tax-related assets.
The Company accounts for income taxes based on the liability method and,
accordingly, deferred income taxes are provided to reflect temporary differences
between financial and tax reporting. A significant component of deferred income
taxes include temporary differences due to reserves not currently deductible
($47,800) and operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") ($27,200). These deferred
tax assets may only be realized as an offset to future taxable income. Also, the
ability to utilize the NOLs and a portion of the other deferred tax assets is
subject to limitation under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code as a result
of the change in ownership that occurred in connection with the Bankruptcy
Reorganization. To realize the full benefit of the deferred tax asset, the
Company needs to generate approximately $225,500 in future taxable income.
Accordingly, the Company has estimated that this limitation on the annual
utilization of built-in deductions will be approximately $6,800. The Company
currently has fully reserved its net deferred tax asset of $86,800.
The Company has provided a full valuation allowance against the net deferred tax
asset as it has determined that it is more likely than not that such benefits
will not be realized.

SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES. On January 28, 2000, the Company issued $146,000 of
11.25 percent senior subordinated notes due 2005 as contemplated under the Plan.
The New Notes are guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries and are not
callable until February 1, 2003. Interest is payable semi-annually and during
the first two years can be paid in kind if free cash flow, as defined in the
Indenture, falls below projected levels. The New Notes are subordinated in right
of payment to the payment of all senior indebtedness. The New Notes contain
customary restrictive covenants, including among other things, limitations on
dividends and restricted payments, the incurrence of additional indebtedness,
liens, investments, loans and advances, the sales of assets and transactions
with affiliates. See "PART I, ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

January 28, 2000 and March 28, 1999, respectively, were not included in the

market price of the common shares.
Diluted and basic earnings (loss) per share are the same for each of the periods
ended March 26, 2000, January 28, 2000 and March 28, 1999 because the

NOTE 12: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
THE PROCTER & GAMBLE COMPANY V. PARAGON TRADE BRANDS, INC. - P&G filed a lawsuit
in January 1994 in the Delaware District Court alleging that the Company's
"Ultra" infant disposable diaper products infringed two of P&G's dual cuff
diaper patents.
On December 30, 1997, the Delaware District Court issued a Judgment and Opinion
(the "Delaware Judgment") finding that P&G's dual cuff patents were valid and
infringed, while at the same time finding the Company's patent to be invalid,
unenforceable and not infringed by P&G's products. Judgment was entered on
January 6, 1998. Damages of approximately $178,400 were entered against Paragon
by the Delaware District Court on June 2, 1998. At the same time, the Delaware
District Court entered injunctive relief agreed upon by P&G and the Company.
The Judgment had a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position
and its results of operations. As a result of the District Court's Judgment, the
Company filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C.
Section 101 ET SEQ., in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern
District of Georgia (Case No. 98-60390) on January 6, 1998. See "--IN RE PARAGON
TRADE BRANDS, INC.," below.
On February 2, 1999, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with P&G
which fully and finally settled all matters related to the Delaware Judgment,
the Company's appeal of the Delaware Judgment, P&G's motion to find the Company
in contempt of the Delaware Judgment and P&G's proof of claim filed in the
Company's Chapter 11 reorganization proceeding. The P&G Approval Order was
issued on August 6, 1999. As a part of the settlement, the Company entered into
License Agreements for the U.S. and Canada, which are exhibits to the Settlement
Agreement, with respect to certain of the patents asserted by P&G in its proof
of claim, including those
-15-

PARAGON TRADE BRANDS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
asserted in the Delaware action. The U.S. and Canadian patent rights licensed by
the Company permitted the Company to convert to a dual cuff baby diaper design.
While the Company believes that the royalty rates being charged by P&G are the
same royalties that will be paid by the Company's major store brand competitors
for similar patent rights, these royalties, together with royalties to be paid
to K-C described herein, have had, and will continue to have, a material adverse
impact on the Company's future financial condition and results of operations.
While these royalty costs have been partially offset by projected raw material
cost savings related to the conversion to a dual cuff design, the Company's
overall raw material costs have increased.
KIMBERLY-CLARK CORPORATION V. PARAGON TRADE BRANDS, INC. - On October 26, 1995,
K-C filed a lawsuit against the Company in the U.S. District Court in Dallas,
Texas, alleging infringement by the Company's products of two K-C patents
relating to dual cuffs. As a result of the Company's Chapter 11 filing, the
proceedings in the K-C litigation were stayed.
On March 19, 1999, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with K-C
which fully and finally settled all matters related to the Texas action,
including the Company's counterclaims, and K-C's proof of claim filed in the
Company's Chapter 11 reorganization proceeding. The K-C Approval Order was
issued by the Bankruptcy Court on August 6, 1999. As a part of the settlement,
the Company entered into License Agreements for the U.S. and Canada, which are
exhibits to the Settlement Agreement, with respect to the patents asserted by
K-C in the Texas action. The patent rights licensed by the Company from K-C
permitted the Company to convert to a dual cuff diaper design.
The Company believes that the overall effective royalty rate that the Company
will pay to K-C, together with royalties to be paid to P&G described above, has
had, and will continue to have, a material adverse impact on the Company's
future financial condition and results of operations. While these royalty costs
have been partially offset by projected raw material cost savings related to the
conversion to a dual cuff design, the Company's overall raw material costs have
increased.
As a part of the K-C License Agreement, K-C has agreed not to sue the Company on
two of K-C's patents related to the use of SAP in diapers and training pants, so
long as the Company uses SAP which exhibits certain performance characteristics
(the "SAP Safe Harbor"). The Company experienced certain product performance
issues the Company believes may have been related to the SAP the Company
initially converted to in December of 1998. In February 1999, the Company
converted to a new SAP. The Company is encountering increased product costs due
to the increased price and usage of the new SAP. While the Company is working
diligently with its SAP suppliers to develop a more cost-effective alternative
which is still within the SAP Safe Harbor, the Company cannot predict at this
time whether or when the added costs will be fully offset. The Company expects
that these increased product costs will have a material adverse impact on its
financial condition and results of operations for at least 2000 and potentially
beyond.
IN RE PARAGON TRADE BRANDS, INC. - As described above, on December 30, 1997, the
Delaware District Court issued a Judgment and Opinion in the Company's lawsuit
with P&G finding that two of P&G's diaper patents were valid and infringed by
the Company's "Ultra" disposable baby diapers, while also rejecting the
Company's patent infringement claim against P&G. Judgment was entered on January
6, 1998. While a final damages number was not entered by the Delaware District
Court until June 2, 1998, the Company originally estimated the liability and
associated litigation costs to be approximately $200,000. The amount of the
award resulted in violation of certain covenants under the Company's bank loan
agreements. As a result, the issuance of the Delaware Judgment and the
uncertainty it created caused an immediate and critical liquidity issue for the
Company which necessitated the Chapter 11 filing.
Subsequently, damages of approximately $178,400 were entered against Paragon by
the Delaware District Court on June 2, 1998. At the same time, the Delaware
District Court entered injunctive relief agreed upon by P&G and the Company. See
"--THE PROCTER & GAMBLE COMPANY V. PARAGON TRADE BRANDS, INC.," above.
The Chapter 11 filing prevented P&G from placing liens on the Company's assets,
permitted the Company to appeal the Delaware District Court's decision in an
orderly fashion and afforded the Company the opportunity to resolve liquidated
and unliquidated claims against the Company which arose prior to the Chapter 11
filing.

CORPORATION V. PARAGON TRADE BRANDS, INC.," above.
On or about November 15, 1999, the Company and the Creditors' Committee, as
co-proponents, filed the Plan and Disclosure Statement with the Bankruptcy
Court. The Plan incorporated the Wellspring Transaction. By order dated November
18, 1999, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Disclosure Statement. At such time,
the Bankruptcy Court also approved certain voting procedures and established
January 7, 2000 as the voting deadline for the Plan and January 13, 2000 as the
date for a hearing to consider confirmation of the Plan. A confirmation hearing
was held by the Bankruptcy Court on January 13, 2000. By Order dated January 13,
2000, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Plan.
On January 28, 2000, Paragon was reorganized pursuant to the Plan through the
consummation of the Wellspring Transaction. As contemplated under the Plan, the
Equity Committee has withdrawn with prejudice its appeals of the P&G Approval
Order and the K-C Approval Order.
On January 28, 2000, the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company, as
guarantors, entered into a three-year $95,000 financing facility with a bank
group led by Citicorp USA, Inc. This facility is designed to supplement the
Company's cash on hand and operating cash flow. As of March 26, 2000, there were
$11,000 in direct borrowings outstanding under this facility and an aggregate of
$2,000 in letters of credit issued thereunder. The Credit Facility contains
customary financial covenants.
Legal fees and costs in connection with the Chapter 11 reorganization proceeding
were significant.
KIMBERLY-CLARK WORLDWIDE, INC. V. PARAGON TRADE BRANDS, INC. - On March 20,
2000, Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc. filed suit in the U.S. District Court in
Delaware against the Company for allegedly infringing a certain K-C patent
related to a method and apparatus for attaching a graphic patch to a disposable
absorbent garment. The suit seeks injunctive relief, unspecified treble damages,
interest and attorneys' fees and expenses. The Company is currently evaluating
the suit.
OTHER - The Company is also a party to other legal activities generally
incidental to its activities. Although the final outcome of any legal proceeding
or dispute is subject to a great many variables and cannot be predicted with any
degree of certainty, the Company presently believes that any ultimate liability
resulting from any or all legal proceedings or disputes to which it is a party
will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of
operations.

NOTE 13: BANK CREDIT FACILITIES
On January 28, 2000, the Company entered into the Credit Facility. The maximum
borrowing under the Credit Facility may not exceed the lesser of $95,000 or an
amount determined by a borrowing base formula. The borrowing base formula is
comprised of certain specified percentages of eligible accounts receivable,
eligible inventory, equipment and personal property and real property of the
Company. The Credit Facility has a sub-limit of $15,000 for the issuance of
letters of credit.
Borrowings under the Credit Facility are secured by a security interest in,
pledge of and lien on substantially all of the Company's North American assets
and properties and the proceeds thereof. Borrowings under the Credit Facility
are guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries and may be used to fund working
capital and other general corporate purposes including acquisitions and
investments in existing and new international joint ventures. The Credit
Facility contains restrictive covenants, including among other things, a
prohibition on dividends, limitations on the creation of additional liens and
indebtedness, limitations on capital expenditures, investments, loans and
advances, the sales of assets and transactions with affiliates. Financial
covenants include the maintenance of minimum earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization, fixed charges, coverage ratio, tangible net worth
and a maximum leverage ratio.
The Credit Facility provides that borrowings will bear interest at a rate of
1.50 percent in excess of Citibank's base rate, or at the Company's option, a
rate of 2.50 percent in excess of the reserve adjusted eurodollar rate for
interest periods of one, two, three or six months. After March 31, 2001,
borrowing rates will be subject to a pricing grid based upon the Company's
leverage ratio and could decrease by a maximum of .5 percent and increase by a
maximum of .25 percent. The Company will pay a commitment fee of .5 percent per
annum on the unused portion of the Credit Facility, a letter of credit fee equal
to 2.75 percent per annum on the average outstanding letters of credit and
certain other fees.
As of March 26, 2000, there were $11,000 of direct borrowings outstanding and an
aggregate $2,000 in letters of credit under this Credit Facility. See "PART I,
ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITIONS" - RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES herein.
NOTE 14: SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company operates principally in two segments that are organized based on the
nature of the products sold: (i) infant care and (ii) feminine care and adult
incontinence. Each operating segment contains closely related products that are
unique to that particular segment. The results of the Company's international
investment in joint ventures in Mexico, Argentina, Brazil and China are reported
in the corporate and other segment.
Management evaluates the performance of its operating segments separately to
individually monitor the different factors impacting financial performance.
Segment operating profit is comprised of net sales less cost of sales and
selling, general and administrative expense. Loss contingencies and asset
impairments are recorded in the appropriate operating segment.
Certain administrative expenses common to all operating segments are currently
allocated to the infant care operating segment. International investments,
financial costs, such as interest income and expense, and income taxes are
managed by, and recorded in, the corporate and other operating segment.

CHAPTER 11 PROCEEDINGS AND REORGANIZATION
The Company previously disclosed that The Procter & Gamble Company ("P&G") had
filed a lawsuit against it in the United States District Court for the District
of Delaware (the "Delaware District Court") alleging that the Company's "Ultra"
disposable baby diaper products infringed two of P&G's dual cuff diaper patents.
On December 30, 1997, the Delaware District Court issued a Judgment and Opinion,
(the "Delaware Judgment") which found that two of P&G's dual cuff diaper patents
were valid and infringed by certain of the Company's disposable diaper products,
while also rejecting the Company's patent infringement claims against P&G. While
the final damages number of approximately $178.4 million was not entered by the
Delaware District Court until June 2, 1998, the Company originally estimated the
liability and associated litigation costs to be approximately $200 million. The
amount of the award resulted in violation of certain covenants under the
Company's then-existing bank loan agreements. As a result, the issuance of the
Delaware Judgment and the uncertainty it created caused an immediate and
critical liquidity issue for the Company.
On January 6, 1998, the Company filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. Section 101 ET SEQ., in the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the Northern District of Georgia (Case No. 98-60390) on January 6,
1998 (the "Chapter 11 filing"). None of the Company's subsidiaries were included
in the Chapter 11 filing.
On October 26, 1995, Kimberly-Clark Corporation ("K-C") filed a lawsuit against
the Company in U.S. District Court in Dallas, Texas, alleging infringement by
the Company's products of two K-C patents relating to dual cuffs.
On February 2, 1999, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with P&G
which fully and finally settled all matters related to the Delaware Judgment,
the Company's appeal of the Delaware Judgment, P&G's motion to find the Company
in contempt of the Delaware Judgment and P&G's proof of claim filed in the
Company's Chapter 11 reorganization proceeding. The P&G Settlement Agreement was
approved by the Bankruptcy Court on August 6, 1999 (the "P&G Approval Order").
The Official Committee of Equity Security Holders (the "Equity Committee")
appealed the P&G Approval Order. See "PART II, ITEM 1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS."
On March 19, 1999, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with K-C
which fully and finally settled all matters related to the Texas action,
including the Company's counterclaims, and K-C's proof of claim filed in the
Company's Chapter 11 reorganization proceeding. The K-C Settlement Agreement was
approved by the Bankruptcy Court on August 6, 1999 (the "K-C Approval Order").
The Equity Committee appealed the K-C Approval Order. See "PART II, ITEM 1:
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS."
On or about November 15, 1999, the Company and the Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors (the "Creditors' Committee"), as co-proponents, filed the
Second Amended Plan of Reorganization (as subsequently modified through January
13, 2000, the "Plan") and a related Disclosure Statement (as subsequently
modified through November 18, 1999, the "Disclosure Statement") with the
Bankruptcy Court. The Plan incorporated a proposed investment by Wellspring
Capital Management LLC ("Wellspring"), a private investment company, to acquire
the Company as part of a plan of reorganization (the "Wellspring Transaction").
By order dated November 18, 1999, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Disclosure
Statement. At such time, the Bankruptcy Court also approved certain voting
procedures and established January 7, 2000 as the voting deadline for the Plan
and January 13, 2000 as the date for a hearing to consider confirmation of the
Plan. A confirmation hearing was held by the Bankruptcy Court on January 13,
2000. By Order dated January 13, 2000, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Plan.
On January 28, 2000, Paragon was reorganized pursuant to the Plan through the
consummation of the Wellspring Transaction. As contemplated under the Plan, the
Equity Committee has withdrawn with prejudice its
-20-
<PAGE>
appeals of the P&G Approval Order and the K-C Approval Order. See "PART II, ITEM
1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS."
As a result of the Chapter 11 filing, the Company incurred significant costs for
professional fees. The Company was also required to pay certain expenses of the
Creditors' Committee and the Equity Committee including professional fees, to
the extent allowed by the Bankruptcy Court. Pursuant to the Plan, a reserve was
established from which any remaining professional fees and expenses related to
the Chapter 11 reorganization proceeding will be paid. See "PART II, ITEM 1:
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS."
Trading in the common stock of the Company on the New York Stock Exchange
("NYSE") was suspended prior to the opening of trading on July 8, 1999. As of
July 9, 1999, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the "OTCBB") began publishing quotations of the
Company's common stock under the symbol PGNFQ. As a result of the Plan, on
February 2, 2000, the OTCBB ceased quotations of the Company's common stock.
Quotation of the Company's common stock resumed on the OTCBB as of March 30,
2000 under the symbol PGTR.
REORGANIZATION. On January 28, 2000, the Company emerged from Chapter 11
protection as contemplated under the Plan. All pre-petition obligations were
discharged. Pursuant to the Plan, Wellspring and certain of its affiliates
purchased an aggregate of 11,516,405 shares, or approximately 97 percent, of the
common stock of the reorganized Company for a cash contribution of $115.2
million. See "PART II, ITEM 1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS."
CREDIT FACILITY. On January 28, 2000, the Company and certain subsidiaries of
the Company, as guarantors, entered into a three-year $95 million financing
facility (the "Credit Facility") with a bank group led by Citicorp USA, Inc.
("Citicorp"). The maximum borrowing under the Credit Facility may not exceed the
lesser of $95 million or an amount determined by a borrowing base formula. The
borrowing base formula is comprised of certain specified percentages of eligible
accounts receivable, eligible inventory, equipment and personal property and
real property of the Company. The Credit Facility has a sub-limit of $15 million
for the issuance of letters of credit. The Credit Facility contains customary
financial covenants.
SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES. On January 28, 2000, the Company issued $146.0
million of 11.25 percent senior subordinated notes due 2005 (the "New Notes") as
contemplated under the Plan. The New Notes are guaranteed by certain domestic
subsidiaries and are not callable until February 1, 2003. Interest is payable
semi-annually and during the first two years can be paid in kind if free cash
flow, as defined in the Indenture, falls below projected levels. The New Notes
are subordinated in right of payment to the payment of all senior indebtedness.
The New Notes contain customary restrictive covenants.
FRESH START ACCOUNTING. The Company has recorded the reorganization and related
transactions using "fresh start accounting" as required by Statement of Position
90-7 ("SOP 90-7") issued by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants.
The Company operates principally in two segments that are organized based on the
nature of the products sold: (i) infant care and (ii) feminine care and adult
incontinence. Each operating segment contains closely related products that are
unique to that particular segment. The results of the Company's international
investments in joint ventures in Mexico, Argentina, Brazil and China are
reported in the corporate and other segment.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Effective January 28, 2000, the Company emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy
proceedings and implemented "fresh start accounting." Accordingly, all assets
and liabilities were restated to reflect their respective fair values. The
consolidated financial statements after that date are those of a new reporting
entity and are not comparable to the Pre-Confirmation periods. However, for
purposes of this discussion, the eight weeks ended March 26, 2000
(Post-Confirmation) have been combined with the five weeks ended January 28,
2000 (Pre-Confirmation) and then compared to the 13 weeks ended March 28, 1999.
Differences between periods due to fresh start accounting adjustments are
explained when necessary. The following table is included solely for use in
comparative analysis of results of operations, and to complement management's
discussion and analysis:

</TABLE>
Net earnings were $114.0 million in the first quarter of 2000 compared to a net
loss of $7.2 million in the first quarter of 1999. Included in the results for
the first quarter of 2000 was an extraordinary gain of $123.0 million associated
with forgiveness of debt that resulted from the reorganization of the Company in
accordance with the Plan. Excluding the extraordinary gain from forgiveness of
debt and bankruptcy costs discussed below, improved product mix, lower
manufacturing costs and lower selling, general and administrative costs
contributed to improved results during the first quarter of 2000 compared to the
first quarter of 1999. The first quarter of 1999 results were also negatively
impacted by a price concession made to an export customer to address product
acceptance issues. Included in the first quarter 2000 results are bankruptcy
costs of $10.4 million compared to $1.9 million in the first quarter of 1999.
Basic loss per share for the eight weeks ended March 26, 2000 was $.05.
Comparison to previous periods is not meaningful due to the Company's emergence
from bankruptcy and the implementation of fresh start accounting.
Infant care operating profit was $6.7 million in the first quarter of 2000
compared to an operating loss of $2.5 million in the first quarter of 1999. A
favorable product mix, lower manufacturing costs and lower selling, general and
administrative costs contributed to the improved results.
Feminine care and adult incontinence operating losses were $3.1 million in the
first quarter of 2000 compared to an operating loss of $3.3 million in the first
quarter of 1999. Losses are expected to continue until volume is significantly
increased to absorb existing manufacturing capacity.
The Company experienced greater than anticipated operating losses in its
feminine care and adult incontinence businesses in 1999, 1998 and 1997 and
expects these losses to continue near-term. The Company has developed a business
plan that supports the realization of its investment in its feminine care and
adult incontinence business. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any
adjustments in its financial statements relating to the recoverability of the
operating assets of the feminine care and adult incontinence business. The
Company's ability to recover its investment is dependent upon the successful
execution of the Company's
-22-
<PAGE>
feminine care and adult incontinence business plan. There can be no assurances,
however, that such improved results will be realized. See "RISKS AND
UNCERTAINTIES" herein.
NET SALES
Overall net sales were $129.1 million in the first quarter of 2000 compared to
$126.2 million in the first quarter of 1999.
Infant care net sales increased 1.7 percent to $125.5 million in the first
quarter of 2000 compared to $123.4 million in the first quarter of 1999. The
increase in net sales was due to a favorable product mix associated with the
introduction of a new training pant product and the launch of certain
destination store brand product and marketing programs. In addition, a price
concession was made to an export customer during the first quarter of 1999 to
address product acceptance issues. The favorable impacts were also partially
offset by lower unit sales as volume decreased 4.4 percent to 790.2 million
units in the first quarter of 2000 compared to 826.7 million units in the first
quarter of 1999. The decrease in unit sales is primarily due to volume lost to
competitors during the latter part of 1999. Prices were also negatively impacted
by continued competitive pressures.
Infant care volume and sales prices are expected to remain under pressure due to
continued competitive initiatives from both national brand and store brand
competitors. The Company anticipates, however, that volume will be at higher
levels in 2000 compared to 1999 due to the training pant product and destination
store brand programs discussed above. The Company has become aware of a
potential package count change in the latter half of 2000 which may result in an
effective price increase. It is difficult to predict if the count change will
occur, and the timing and amount of price increase to be realized, if any.
Feminine care and adult incontinence sales increased to $3.6 million in the
first quarter of 2000 compared to $2.9 million in the first quarter of 1999 due
to the shipment of product to new customers.
COST OF SALES
Overall cost of sales in the first quarter of 2000 was $105.6 million compared
to $109.5 million in the first quarter of 1999. As a percentage of net sales,
cost of sales was 81.8 percent in the first quarter of 2000 compared to 86.8
percent in the first quarter of 1999.
Infant care cost of sales was $99.1 million in the first quarter of 2000
compared to $103.5 million in the first quarter of 1999. As a percentage of net
sales, infant care cost of sales was 79.0 percent in the first quarter of 2000
compared to 83.7 percent in 1999. This decrease in costs as a percentage of
sales was due to improved manufacturing efficiencies, lower plant overhead costs
due to the closure of the Brampton, Canada facility during the second quarter of
1999 and lower depreciation costs. These favorable items were partially offset
by higher royalties due to a full quarter impact of the settlement and licensing
agreements reached in the first quarter of 1999 with P&G and K-C and higher pulp
prices.
Infant care raw material prices, with the exception of pulp, were at lower price
levels in the first quarter of 2000 compared to the first quarter of 1999. Pulp
prices started to increase during the second half of 1999 and are expected to
increase during the remainder of 2000. Raw material prices, with the exception
of pulp, are expected to decrease slightly during the remainder of 2000.
Infant care depreciation costs were $5.0 million in the first quarter of 2000
compared to $5.8 million in first quarter of 1999. The decrease is partially due
to lower asset values as a result of fresh start accounting.
Feminine care and adult incontinence cost of sales was $6.5 million in the first
quarter of 2000 compared to $6.0 million in the first quarter of 1999. As a
percentage of net sales, cost of sales was 180.6 percent in the first quarter of
2000 compared to 206.9 percent in the first quarter of 1999. Overall cost of
sales in this segment is expected to remain greater than net sales until volume
is significantly increased to absorb existing manufacturing capacity. See "RISKS
AND UNCERTAINTIES" herein.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
SG&A expenses were $18.9 million in the first quarter of 2000 compared to $21.4
million in the first quarter of 1999. As a percentage of net sales, these
expenses were 14.6 percent in the first quarter of 2000 compared to 17.0 percent
in 1999. The decrease in SG&A is primarily attributable to lower sales and
marketing expenditures and information
-23-
<PAGE>
technology expenses. Depreciation and amortization costs included in SG&A
decreased to $.9 million in the first quarter of 2000 compared to $1.6 million
in the first quarter of 1999. The decrease in depreciation and amortization is
partially due to the elimination of goodwill through fresh start accounting.
Overall, SG&A expenses are expected to remain at first quarter levels throughout
2000 unless the Company implements the package count change discussed above. If
the package count change is implemented the Company will incur higher packaging
artwork and development costs.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development expenses were $1.0 million in each of the first
quarters of 2000 and 1999.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense was $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2000 compared to $.1
million in the first quarter of 1999. The increase is due to interest costs
associated with borrowings under the Credit Facility and the New Notes bearing
an annual interest rate of 11.25%. There were no borrowings under the DIP Credit
Facility during the first quarter of 1999.
EQUITY IN EARNINGS OF UNCONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
The equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries was $.3 million in the
first quarter of 2000 compared to $.4 million in the first quarter of 1999.
Earnings in the first quarter of 2000 were negatively impacted by lower earnings
of the Company's South American joint ventures and amortization of goodwill
associated with the values assigned to the foreign joint ventures through fresh
start accounting. The earnings during the first quarter of 1999 included the
write-off of capitalized start-up costs.
BANKRUPTCY COSTS
Bankruptcy costs were $10.4 million in the first quarter of 2000 compared to
$1.9 million during the first quarter of 1999. The increase in costs was
primarily due to professional fees associated with the exit from bankruptcy as
well as $3.3 million in confirmation bonuses paid to employees.
EXTRAORDINARY GAIN FROM DISCHARGE OF DEBT
During the period ending January 28, 2000, an extraordinary gain of $123.0
million was recorded for the discharge of indebtedness that resulted from the
forgiveness of certain liabilities in accordance with the Company's plan of
reorganization.
INCOME TAXES
During the first quarter of 2000, the Company recorded income tax expense of
approximately $46.7 million which included approximately $2.8 million to account
for the effects of certain non-deductible bankruptcy costs. This expense was
offset by a decrease in the valuation allowances for its net deferred and other
tax-related assets.
Income tax expense for the subsidiaries not included in the Chapter 11 filing
was $.3 million during the period ended March 28, 1999. The Company recorded an
income tax benefit of approximately $3.0 million during the period ended March
28, 1999, which was offset by an increase in the valuation allowances with
respect to its net deferred and other tax-related assets as realization is
dependent upon sufficient taxable income in the future.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
On a pro forma basis, the cash flows for the eight weeks ended March 26, 2000
(Successor Company) and five weeks ended January 28, 2000 (Predecessor Company)
have been combined for purposes of comparison to the thirteen weeks ended March
28, 1999.
During the first quarter of 2000, cash flow from earnings (losses) and non-cash
charges was a negative $1.8 million compared to $.8 million in the first quarter
of 1999. Despite improved operating results, the decrease in cash flow was
caused by the costs associated with the exit from bankruptcy.
During the first quarter of 2000, cash flow was positively impacted by a $8.5
million reduction in accounts receivable and inventories. The positive cash flow
was offset by a decrease in accounts payable and checks issued but not
-24-
<PAGE>
cleared. Cash flow was also positively impacted by $2.3 million of proceeds from
property and equipment sales and $.9 million in scheduled repayments of advances
to an unconsolidated subsidiary.
Capital expenditures were $1.8 million for the first quarter of 2000 compared to
capital expenditures of $11.7 million, including approximately $.7 million of
computer software and consulting costs, for the first quarter of 1999. Capital
spending is expected to be approximately $28.0 million during 2000 which the
Company expects will be funded through a combination of internally generated
funds and borrowings under the Credit Facility.
Cash produced from operations and cash and short-term investments supported an
additional investment of $1.2 million in the Company's Goodbaby joint venture in
China during the first quarter of 2000.
On January 28, 2000, the Company entered into the Credit Facility. The maximum
borrowing under the Credit Facility may not exceed the lesser of $95.0 million
or an amount determined by a borrowing base formula. The borrowing base formula
is comprised of certain specified percentages of eligible accounts receivable,
eligible inventory, equipment and personal property and real property of the
Company. The Credit Facility has a sub-limit of $15.0 million for the issuance
of letters of credit.
Borrowings under the Credit Facility are secured by a security interest in,
pledge of and lien on substantially all of the Company's North American assets
and properties and the proceeds thereof. Borrowings under the Credit Facility
are guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries and may be used to fund working
capital and other general corporate purposes including acquisitions and
investments in existing and new international joint ventures. The Credit
Facility contains customary restrictive covenants, including among other things,
a prohibition on dividends, limitations on the creation of additional liens and
indebtedness, limitations on capital expenditures, investments, loans and
advances, the sales of assets and transactions with affiliates. Financial
covenants include the maintenance of minimum earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization, fixed charges, coverage ratio, tangible net worth
and a maximum leverage ratio.
The Credit Facility provides that borrowings will bear interest at a rate of
1.50 percent in excess of Citibank's base rate, or at the Company's option, a
rate of 2.50 percent in excess of the reserve adjusted eurodollar rate for
interest periods of one, two, three or six months. After March 31, 2001,
borrowing rates will be subject to a pricing grid based upon the Company's
leverage ratio and could decrease by a maximum of .5 percent and increase by a
maximum of .25 percent. The Company will pay a commitment fee of .5 percent per
annum on the unused portion of the Credit Facility, a letter of credit fee equal
to 2.75 percent per annum on the average outstanding letters of credit and
certain other fees.
On January 28, 2000, the Company borrowed approximately $15.0 million to
consummate the Plan which was primarily used to extinguish $13.0 million in
pre-petition liabilities subject to compromise. As of March 26, 2000, the
Company had approximately $11.0 million of borrowings and $2.0 million in
letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility.
In connection with the Chapter 11 filing, on January 30, 1998, the Bankruptcy
Court entered a Final Order approving the DIP Credit Facility as provided under
the Revolving Credit and Guarantee Agreement dated as of January 7, 1998, among
the Company, as Borrower, certain subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors,
and a bank group led by The Chase Manhattan Bank ("Chase"). Pursuant to the
terms of the DIP Credit Facility, as amended and restated as of June 14, 1999,
Chase and a syndicate of banks made available to the Company a revolving credit
and letter of credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $75.0 million.
The Company's maximum borrowing under the DIP Credit Facility could not exceed
the lesser of $75.0 million or an available amount as determined by a borrowing
base formulation. The borrowing base formulation was comprised of certain
specified percentages of eligible accounts receivable, eligible inventory,
equipment and personal and real property of the Company. The DIP Credit Facility
had a sublimit of $10.0 million for the issuance of letters of credit. The DIP
Credit Facility expired on January 28, 2000 in accordance with its terms and was
replaced with the Credit Facility.
At December 26, 1999, there were no outstanding direct borrowings under the DIP
Credit Facility. The Company had an aggregate of $2.0 million in letters of
credit issued under the DIP Credit Facility at December 26, 1999.
FUTURE REALIZATION OF NET DEFERRED TAX ASSET
The Company accounts for income taxes based on the liability method and,
accordingly, deferred income taxes are provided to reflect temporary differences
between financial and tax reporting. A significant component of
-25-
<PAGE>
deferred income taxes include temporary differences due to reserves not
currently deductible ($47.8 million) and operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs")
($27.2 million). These deferred tax assets may only be realized as an offset to
future taxable income. Also, the ability to utilize the NOLs and a portion of
the other deferred tax assets is subject to limitation under Section 382 of the
Internal Revenue Code as a result of the change in ownership that occurred in
connection with the Bankruptcy Reorganization. To realize the full benefit of
the deferred tax asset, the Company needs to generate approximately $225.5
million in future taxable income. -Accordingly, the Company has estimated that
this limitation on the annual utilization of built-in deductions will be
approximately $6.8 million. The Company currently has fully reserved its net
deferred tax asset of $86.8 million. See "--Income Taxes."
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
INCREASED COSTS. As a part of the License Agreements entered into in connection
with the Company's settlements with P&G and K-C, the Company has incurred and
will continue to incur significant added costs in the form of running royalties
payable to both parties for sales of the licensed diaper and training pant
products. While the Company believes that the royalties being charged by P&G and
K-C under their respective License Agreements are approximately the same
royalties that will be paid by the Company's major store brand competitors for
similar patent rights, the royalties will have a material adverse impact on the
Company's future financial condition and results of operations. While these
royalty costs have been partially offset by projected raw material cost savings
related to the conversion to a dual cuff product, the Company's overall raw
material costs have increased. Further, the Company's operating results may be
adversely affected by anticipated increases in raw materials prices, primarily
fluff pulp, in 2000.
In addition, as a part of the License Agreement entered into in connection with
the K-C Settlement Agreement, the Company has changed to a new SAP for its
diapers and training pants which exhibits certain performance characteristics.
The Company experienced certain product performance issues which it believes
impacted volume for the first half of 1999. The Company is encountering
increased product costs due to the increased price and usage of the new SAP.
While the Company is working diligently with its SAP suppliers to develop a more
cost-effective alternative, the Company cannot predict at this time whether or
when the added costs will be fully offset. The Company expects that these
increased product costs will have a material adverse impact on its financial
condition and results of operations for at least 2000 and potentially beyond.
PRICING. In the fourth quarter of 1998 the Company implemented a price increase
of 5 percent. A significant part of this price increase was required to offset
the increased costs of certain of the Company's infant care product designs. The
Company has realized some of the benefit of the price increase. However,
competitive factors have prevented and may continue to prevent the Company from
realizing the full benefit of the price increase. Additional price increases are
needed to fully offset the added royalty cost to be incurred by the Company
pursuant to the P&G and K-C settlements described above. Should the Company not
be able to realize future price increases, its margins are expected to continue
to be negatively impacted.
VOLUME. During the fourth quarter of 1999, one of the Company's major customers
began shifting a significant portion of the Company's existing volume to a
competitor. The Company expects to offset the loss of this business with new
product introductions that began rollout during the third quarter of 1999 with
the same customer. During the fourth quarter of 1999, another large customer
began shifting the Company's diaper volume to another store brand competitor.
This loss of business is expected to negatively impact results for 2000.
REALIZATION OF INVESTMENT IN FEMININE CARE AND ADULT INCONTINENCE BUSINESS.
Given the slow start-up of the feminine care and adult incontinence business,
which was exacerbated by the Company's Chapter 11 filing, and given the
resulting feminine care and adult incontinence losses, the Company's ability to
recover its investment in such business is highly uncertain. The Company's
ability to recover its investment is dependent upon the successful execution of
the Company's feminine care and adult incontinence business plan. There can be
no assurances, however, that such improved results will be realized.
BRANDED PRODUCT INNOVATIONS. Because of the emphasis on product innovations in
the disposable diaper, feminine care and adult incontinence markets, patents and
other intellectual property rights are an important competitive factor. The
national branded manufacturers have sought to vigorously enforce their patent
rights. Patents held by the national branded manufacturers could severely limit
the Company's ability to keep up with branded product innovations by prohibiting
the Company from introducing products with comparable features. P&G and K-C have
also heavily promoted diapers in the multi-pack configuration. These packages
offer a lower
-26-
<PAGE>
unit price to the retailer and consumer. It is possible that the Company may
continue to realize lower selling prices and/or lower volumes as a result of
these initiatives.
INCREASED FINANCIAL LEVERAGE. In connection with the Plan, the Company issued
the New Notes. As a result of this increased leverage, the Company's principal
and interest obligations have increased substantially. The degree to which the
Company is leveraged could adversely affect the Company's ability to obtain
additional financing for working capital, acquisitions or other purposes and
could make it more vulnerable to economic downturns and competitive pressures.
The Company's increased leverage could also adversely affect its liquidity and
its ability to fund capital expenditures, as a substantial portion of available
cash from operations will have to be applied to meet debt service requirements.
The indenture related to the New Notes (the "Indenture") provides that, if
certain coverage tests are not met, interest on the New Notes may be paid in
kind for the first two years. The Indenture contains customary financial
covenants restricting the payments of dividends, the repurchase of the Company's
stock, the issuance of additional equity or the incurrence of additional
indebtedness. Also in connection with the Plan, on January 28, 2000, the Company
entered into the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility contains customary
financial covenants.
Based upon anticipated improvements in the Company's operations and certain cost
savings measures, the Company believes that its cash flows from operations,
borrowings under the Credit Facility and other sources of liquidity, will be
adequate to meet the Company's anticipated requirements for working capital,
capital expenditures, interest payments and scheduled principal payments for the
foreseeable future. There can be no assurance, however, that anticipated
improvements in operations and cost savings will be realized. If the Company is
unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operations in the future, it may
be required to refinance all or a portion of its existing debt or to obtain
additional financing. There can be no assurance that any such refinancing would
be possible or that any additional financing could be obtained on terms that are
favorable or acceptable to the Company.
MARKET FOR THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK. Pursuant to the Plan, Wellspring, and its
affiliates purchased 11,516,405 shares, or approximately 97.4 percent, of the
Company's new common stock. Approximately 309,800 shares, or 2.6 percent of the
new common stock, was distributed under the Plan to the Company's then-existing
stockholders and purchased through the Rights Offering pursuant to the Plan. The
Company's common stock is currently quoted on OTCBB under the symbol PGTR.
SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On May 4, 2000, the Board of Directors elected Michael T. Riordan as the
Company's President & Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board of
Directors effective immediately. At the same time, the Board accepted the
resignation of Bobby V. Abraham, as the Company's Chief Executive Officer and
from the Company's Board of Directors effective May 4, 2000.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
From time to time, information provided by the Company, statements made by its
employees or information included in its filings with the Securities and

ITEM 3. QUANTITIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company's market risk-sensitive instruments and foreign currency exchange
rate risks do not subject the Company to material market risk exposures.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
THE PROCTER & GAMBLE COMPANY V. PARAGON TRADE BRANDS, INC. - P&G filed a lawsuit
in January 1994 in the Delaware District Court alleging that the Company's
"Ultra" infant disposable diaper products infringed two of P&G's dual cuff
diaper patents.
On December 30, 1997, the Delaware District Court issued a Judgment and Opinion
(the "Delaware Judgment") finding that P&G's dual cuff patents were valid and
infringed, while at the same time finding the Company's patent to be invalid,
unenforceable and not infringed by P&G's products. Judgment was entered on
January 6, 1998. Damages of approximately $178.4 million were entered against
Paragon by the Delaware District Court on June 2, 1998. At the same time, the
Delaware District Court entered injunctive relief agreed upon by P&G and the
Company.
The Delaware Judgment had a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
position and its results of operations. As a result of the District Court's
Judgment, the Company filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code,
11 U.S.C. Section 101 ET SEQ., in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of Georgia (Case No. 98-60390) on January 6, 1998. See "--IN
RE PARAGON TRADE BRANDS, INC.," below.
On February 2, 1999, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with P&G
which fully and finally settled all matters related to the Delaware Judgment,
the Company's appeal of the Delaware Judgment, P&G's motion to find the Company
in contempt of the Delaware Judgment and P&G's proof of claim filed in the
Company's Chapter 11 reorganization proceeding. The P&G Approval Order was
issued on August 6, 1999. As a part of the settlement, the Company entered into
License Agreements for the U.S. and Canada, which are exhibits to the Settlement
Agreement, with respect to certain of the patents asserted by P&G in its proof
of claim, including those asserted in the Delaware action. The U.S. and Canadian
patent rights licensed by the Company permitted the Company to convert to a dual
cuff baby diaper design.
While the Company believes that the royalty rates being charged by P&G are the
same royalties that will be paid by the Company's major store brand competitors
for similar patent rights, these royalties, together with royalties to be paid
to K-C described herein, have had, and will continue to have, a material adverse
impact on the Company's future financial condition and results of operations.
While these royalty costs have been partially offset by projected raw material
cost savings related to the conversion to a dual cuff design, the Company's
overall raw material costs have increased. These royalty costs have been
partially offset by price increases announced by the Company in the fourth
quarter of 1998 and will continue to be offset to the extent such price
increases are maintained.
KIMBERLY-CLARK CORPORATION V. PARAGON TRADE BRANDS, INC. - On October 26, 1995,
K-C filed a lawsuit against the Company in the U.S. District Court in Dallas,
Texas, alleging infringement by the Company's products of two K-C patents
relating to dual cuffs. As a result of the Company's Chapter 11 filing, the
proceedings in the K-C litigation were stayed.
On March 19, 1999, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with K-C
which fully and finally settled all matters related to the Texas action,
including the Company's counterclaims, and K-C's proof of claim filed in the
Company's Chapter 11 reorganization proceeding. The K-C Approval Order was
issued by the Bankruptcy Court on August 6, 1999. As a part of the settlement,
the Company entered into License Agreements for the U.S. and Canada, which are
exhibits to the Settlement Agreement, with respect to the patents asserted by
K-C in the Texas action. The patent rights licensed by the Company from K-C
permitted the Company to convert to a dual cuff diaper design.
-28-
<PAGE>
The Company believes that the overall effective royalty rate that the Company
will pay to K-C, together with royalties to be paid to P&G described above, has
had, and will continue to have, a material adverse impact on the Company's
future financial condition and results of operations. While these royalty costs
have been partially offset by projected raw material cost savings related to the
conversion to a dual cuff design, the Company's overall raw material costs have
increased. These royalty costs have been partially offset by price increases
announced by the Company in the fourth quarter of 1998 and will continue to be
offset to the extent such price increases are maintained.
As a part of the K-C License Agreement, K-C has agreed not to sue the Company on
two of K-C's patents related to the use of SAP in diapers and training pants, so
long as the Company uses SAP which exhibits certain performance characteristics
(the "SAP Safe Harbor"). The Company experienced certain product performance
issues the Company believes may have been related to the SAP the Company
initially converted to in December of 1998. In February 1999, the Company
converted to a new SAP. The Company is encountering increased product costs due
to the increased price and usage of the new SAP. While the Company is working
diligently with its SAP suppliers to develop a more cost-effective alternative
which is still within the SAP Safe Harbor, the Company cannot predict at this
time whether or when the added costs will be fully offset. The Company expects
that these increased product costs will have a material adverse impact on its
financial condition and results of operations for at least 2000 and potentially
beyond.
IN RE PARAGON TRADE BRANDS, INC. - As described above, on December 30, 1997, the
Delaware District Court issued a Judgment and Opinion in the Company's lawsuit
with P&G finding that two of P&G's diaper patents were valid and infringed by
the Company's "Ultra" disposable baby diapers, while also rejecting the
Company's patent infringement claim against P&G. Judgment was entered on January
6, 1998. While a final damages number was not entered by the Delaware District
Court until June 2, 1998, the Company originally estimated the liability and
associated litigation costs to be approximately $200 million. The amount of the
award resulted in violation of certain covenants under the Company's bank loan
agreements. As a result, the issuance of the Delaware Judgment and the
uncertainty it created caused an immediate and critical liquidity issue for the
Company which necessitated the Chapter 11 filing.
Subsequently, damages of approximately $178.4 million were entered against
Paragon by the Delaware District Court on June 2, 1998. At the same time, the
Delaware District Court entered injunctive relief agreed upon by P&G and the
Company. See "--THE PROCTER & GAMBLE COMPANY V. PARAGON TRADE BRANDS, INC.,"
above.
The Chapter 11 filing prevented P&G from placing liens on the Company's assets,
permitted the Company to appeal the Delaware District Court's decision in an
orderly fashion and afforded the Company the opportunity to resolve liquidated
and unliquidated claims against the Company which arose prior to the Chapter 11
filing.
On February 2, 1999, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with P&G
which fully and finally settled all matters related to the Delaware Judgment,
the Company's appeal of the Delaware Judgment, P&G's motion to find the Company
in contempt of the Delaware Judgment and P&G's proof of claim filed in the
Company's Chapter 11 reorganization proceeding. See "--THE PROCTER & GAMBLE
COMPANY V. PARAGON TRADE BRANDS, INC.," above.
On March 19, 1999, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with K-C
which fully and finally settled all matters related to the Texas action,
including the Company's counterclaims, and K-C's proof of claim filed in the
Company's Chapter 11 reorganization proceeding. See "--KIMBERLY-CLARK
CORPORATION V. PARAGON TRADE BRANDS, INC.," above.
On or about November 15, 1999, the Company and the Creditors' Committee, as
co-proponents, filed the Plan and Disclosure Statement with the Bankruptcy
Court. The Plan incorporated the Wellspring Transaction. By order dated November
18, 1999, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Disclosure Statement. At such time,
the Bankruptcy Court also approved certain voting procedures and established
January 7, 2000 as the voting deadline for the Plan and January 13, 2000 as the
date for a hearing to consider confirmation of the Plan. A confirmation hearing
was held by the Bankruptcy Court on January 13, 2000. By Order dated January 13,
2000, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Plan.
On January 28, 2000, Paragon was reorganized pursuant to the Plan through the
consummation of the Wellspring Transaction. As contemplated under the Plan, the
Equity Committee has withdrawn with prejudice its appeals of the P&G Approval
Order and the K-C Approval Order.

<PAGE>
On January 28, 2000, the Company entered into the Credit Facility with a bank
group led by Citicorp. This facility is designed to supplement the Company's
cash on hand and operating cash flow. As of March 26, 2000, there were $11
million in direct borrowings outstanding under this facility and an aggregate of
$2 million in letters of credit issued thereunder. The Credit Facility contains
customary financial covenants.
Legal fees and costs in connection with the Chapter 11 reorganization proceeding
were significant.
KIMBERLY-CLARK WORLDWIDE, INC. V. PARAGON TRADE BRANDS, INC. - On March 20,
2000, Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc. ("K-C") filed suit in the U.S. District
Court in Delaware against the Company for allegedly infringing a certain K-C
patent related to a method and apparatus for attaching a graphic patch to a
disposable absorbent garment. The suit seeks injunctive relief, unspecified
treble damages, interest and attorneys' fees and expenses. The Company is
currently evaluating the suit.
OTHER - The Company is also a party to other legal activities generally
incidental to its activities. Although the final outcome of any legal proceeding
or dispute is subject to a great many variables and cannot be predicted with any
degree of certainty, the Company presently believes that any ultimate liability
resulting from any or all legal proceedings or disputes to which it is a party
will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of
operations.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS IN SENIOR SECURITIES
At December 28, 1997, the Company maintained a $150 million revolving credit
facility with a group of nine financial institutions available through February
2001. At December 28, 1997, borrowings under this credit facility totaled $70
million. The Company also had access to short-term lines of credit on an
uncommitted basis with several major banks. At December 28, 1997, the Company
had approximately $50 million in uncommitted lines of credit. Borrowings under
these lines of credit totaled $12.8 million at December 28, 1997. The Chapter 11
filing resulted in a default under its pre-petition revolving credit facility
and borrowings under its uncommitted lines of credit.
