</TABLE>

For the three months ended March  31, 1996, sales increased by $5.5  million or
11.9% compared to the three months ended March 31, 1995.

Sales from  North American  operations decreased  7.4% for  three months  ended
March  31,  1996  from  the  corresponding  period  in 1995.  Sales from French
operations increased 13.9% for the three  months ended March 31, 1996 from  the
corresponding period in 1995.   Fibrexa, Ltda., a manufacturer of  covered yarn
based in Bogota, Colombia, acquired by the Company in April, 1995, had sales of
$3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 or 6.7% of  consolidated
sales.

The volume decreases for  the first quarter of  1996 in North America  resulted
primarily because slower retail sales  for pantyhose that contain covered  yarn
and continued competitive pressures caused by excess capacity.  Sales from  the
French operations increased  over the prior  year same period  due primarily to
increased demand at the retail level for woven fabrics containing covered yarn.
The increased value of the French  Franc over the U.S. dollar also  contributed
to this improvement.

Gross profit margins increased  primarily because the Company's  fixed expenses
were spread  over higher  sales.   The increase  was also  attributable to  the
margin  contributed  by  the  Colombian  operation.  Selling and administrative
expenses decreased as a percentage of net sales because the fixed component  of
these expenses were spread over a higher sales base.

Interest expense for the three months  ending March 31, 1996, increased due  to
increased borrowings of  revolving credit for  capital requirements within  the
U.S.  operations  and  increased  borrowings  resulting from the acquisition of
Fibrexa.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The Company  had an  effective income  tax rate  of 38.3%  for the three months
ended March  31, 1996  compared to  32.7% for  the same  period in  1995.  This
increase results primarily from an increased tax rate in France from 33.33%  to
36.67% enacted in July 1995.

Liquidity; Capital Resources
- - ----------------------------

The Company  meets both  its long-term  and short-term  liquidity needs through
internally generated funds and outside borrowings.

At March 31, 1996, $16.2 million was outstanding under the Company's  Revolving
Credit  Agreement  and  approximately  $18.8  million  was available for future
borrowings.  In addition, Filix Lastex, S.A., Rubyco (1987), Inc., and  Fibrexa
Ltda.,  had  available  approximately  $17.9  million,  $1.1  million, and $1.6
million,  respectively,  under  various  bank  lines  of  credit  and overdraft
facilities.  The  most restrictive covenant  of the Company's  Credit Agreement
and Note Agreement limit short-term borrowings by the Company's subsidiaries to
a total of approximately  $14.6 million at March  31, 1996.  Worldtex  believes
that these lines of credit, together with internally generated funds and access
to other financing sources, will provide sufficient liquidity for the Company's
expected short-term and long-term cash requirements.

Cash totaled $4.5  million at March  31, 1996, representing  a net increase  of
$2.7  million  for  the  three  months  then  ended.  Cash flows from operating
activities and from  financing activities are  the principal indicators  of the
Company's liquidity.   During the first  three months of  1996, $2 million  was
generated from operating activities as a result of net income, adjusted for the
effects  of  depreciation  and  amortization  and  changes  in  the balances of
receivables, payables, inventories  and other assets  and liabilities.   During
the first three months of 1996, financing activities contributed $3.5  million,
reflecting  routine  borrowings  and  repayments  under  the Company's lines of
credit and revolving credit facility.   During the first three months of  1996,
$2.8 million was applied toward the purchase of additional equipment and  other
investing  activities,  including  the  upgrading  of  certain  equipment.  The
Company anticipates that  its capital expenditures  during 1996 will  aggregate
approximately $11.5 million, primarily for the purchase of equipment.

Working capital  was $50.2  million at  March 31,  1996, and  $45.1 million  at
December 31, 1995, reflecting an increase of $5.1 million and current ratios of
2.7 and 2.5 respectively, at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995.
