classifications.  The consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements included in the Company's annual
report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March
29, 1996 for the fiscal year ended December 30, 1995.

(3)  Earnings per Common Share

     Earnings per common share and common share equivalent are based on the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding and equivalent shares from
dilutive stock options, if any.  As of March 30, 1996 and April 1, 1995, there
were stock options outstanding for 554,616 and 363,941 common shares, 
respectively.  Stock options are excluded from the calculations since they have
no material dilutive effect on per share data.


(4)  Acquisitions

     In the first quarter of 1996 and fiscal year ended December 30, 1995, the
Company made payments and capitalized certain costs related to acquisitions
completed in 1994.

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

 
  The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, and with the Company's
audited financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended
December 30, 1995.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
  NET SALES.  Net sales for the three months ended March  30, 1996 increased
$6,054,000 (6.4%) to $100,794,000 compared to $94,740,000 for the same period in
1995, due to additional sales of core products in the Pillowtex Division.

  GROSS PROFIT.  The gross profit percentage for the first quarter ended March 
30, 1996 decreased to 15.4% compared to 17.4% for the first quarter of 1995. 
This decline was due to a number of factors, including higher raw materials
costs, several days of manufacturing disruption caused by bad weather,
promotional pricing and a slower than expected phase-in of the Company's new
cotton yarn spinning facility in Newton, North Carolina.

  SG&A.  Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the three
months ended March 30, 1996 increased slightly, by $43,000 (.4%) to $10,614,000
from $10,571,000 for the same period in 1995.   SG&A expenses decreased as a
percentage of sales to 10.5% in the first quarter of 1996 as compared to 11.2%
for the same period in 1995.  This percentage decrease reflects the Company's
continuing efforts to contain SG&A expenses.

  INTEREST.  Interest expense for the first quarter of 1996 decreased $538,000
(13.7%) to $3,398,000 from $3,936,000 for the same period in 1995, due
principally to lower debt levels, reduced carrying costs on lower inventory and
decreased average interest rates.

  NET EARNINGS.  Net earnings for the three months ended March 30, 1996
decreased $221,000 (19.0%) to $941,000, or $.09 per share, compared to net
earnings of $1,162,000, or $.11 per share, for the same period in 1995.  Net
earnings for the three months ended March 30, 1996 decreased as a percentage of
sales to .9% from 1.2% for the same period in 1995.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

  As of March 30, 1996, the outstanding principal balance under the Company's
$150,000,000 secured revolving credit facility was $85,200,000, with $11,212,000
committed to outstanding letters of credit and unused availability was
$53,588,000.  Availability under the revolving credit facility is regulated by a
borrowing base determined by reference to the Company's accounts receivable and
inventory.  The outstanding balance under the Company's $90,000,000 term loan
was $75,400,000.  The Company believes that cash flow generated from operations
and funds available under the credit facilities will be sufficient to satisfy
working capital and financing needs for the foreseeable future.

GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS

  In past years, the Company has dealt with a variety of import issues,
including the early China quota closing for imports of finished down comforters,
comforter shells and comforter covers.  The Company lessened its reliance on
China imports by manufacturing more product in the United States and Canada and


<PAGE>

by sourcing goods in other countries.  In addition, in 1995 a change was made
in the import regulations regarding down comforter shells which are not
generally manufactured in the United States.  The Company believes that no
import quota restrictions for shells will remain after July 1, 1996, which
would enable the Company to import shells as needed and thereby reduce 
inventory carrying costs.
  
  Products that the Company imports from China currently receive preferential
tariff treatment accorded goods from countries granted "most favored nation"
status.  Under the Trade Act of 1974, the President of the United States is
authorized, upon making specified findings, to waive certain restrictions that
would otherwise render China ineligible for most favored nation treatment.  The
President has waived these provisions each year since 1979.  However, in
response to recent trade and military activities by China, Congress may
encourage the President to reconsider the renewal of most favored nation status
for China in June of 1996 and no assurance can be given that China will continue
to enjoy this status in the future.  Raw materials and finished products
entering the United States from China without the benefit of most favored nation
treatment would be subject to significantly higher duty rates.  However, the
Company believes that the loss of China's most favored nation status is not
likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition or results of operations.

       Lender's Commitment Percentage.  The fee is payable as it accrues on the
       last Business Day of each of the fiscal months of March, June,
       September, and December -- commencing on the first of those dates that

       fiscal quarter commencing on the date of this agreement or ending on the
       Revolving-Facility-Termination Date) preceding and including the date it
       is due: From the Closing Date until the Revolving-Facility-Termination
       Date, the product of the Applicable Percentage multiplied by the amount
       by which (i) the total Commitments for only the Revolving Facility
       exceed (ii) the sum of the average-daily Principal Debt under only the
       Revolving Notes plus the average-daily LC Exposure for standby LCs.

       (e)  Section 5.2(d) is entirely amended as follows:

       other equipment and fixtures of each other present and future (whether
       under Sections 9.8 or 9.11 or otherwise) Company other than (i) in
       respect of any foreign Company the granting of Lender Liens by which
       would create a material Tax obligation for the Companies that would not
       otherwise exist (ii) the assets currently encumbered by Permitted Liens
       described as Items 7, 10, 11, and (to the extent the related documents
       prohibit the Lender Liens) 12 on Schedule 9.5, and (iii) equipment and
       fixtures in which that Company's interest arises solely under an
       Operating Lease; and

       (f)  A new Section 5.5 is added as follows:

            5.5  New Companies and Transfers of Assets.  Contemporaneous with
       entering into the second amendment of this agreement, Borrower has
       formed Newco, Holdco, and Trustco for the purpose of, among other
       things, the transfer of certain assets and operations.

            (a)  Transfers.  As more particularly described in the documents
       described on Annex A to the second amendment to this agreement, Borrower
       has:

                 (i)     Transferred to Buyer Beacon (A) Borrower s interest in
            the plant and equipment at the Newton, North Carolina, yarn-
            production facility that is subject to the lease from Sanwa General
            Equipment Leasing, along with certain related receivables and
            general intangibles,  and (B) Borrower's ownership of the real
            estate on which that facility is located;

<PAGE>

                 (ii)    Transferred to Newco Borrower's other non-Texas
            manufacturing and sales assets and operations, along with certain
            related receivables and general intangibles, and all of the capital
            stock of Buyer Beacon, Manetta Home Fashions, Inc., and Tennessee
            Woolen Mills, Inc., in each case subject to the pre-existing Lender
            Liens (to the extent of those Lender Liens) already encumbering
            those assets and capital stock;

                 (iii)   Transferred to Trustco Borrower's Texas manufacturing
            and sales assets and operations, along with certain related
            receivables and general intangibles, in each case subject to the
            pre-existing Lender Liens (to the extent of those Lender Liens)
            already encumbering those assets; and

                 (iv)    Retained ownership of its other assets.

            (b)  Additional Guaranties and Lender Liens.  As required by
       Section 5.1, 5.2, 8.11, and 9.8 and possible other provisions in the
       Loan Papers (i) Newco, Holdco, and Trustco have all unconditionally
       guaranteed the full payment and performance of the Obligations, (ii)
       Borrower has created Lender Liens upon all of the issued and outstanding
       capital stock of Newco and Holdco, (iii) Holdco has created Lender Liens
       on all of the beneficial ownership of Trustco (which Agent and Lenders
       agree was not subject to Lender Liens at any time when owned by
       Borrower), and (iv) Buyer Beacon, Tennessee Woolen Mills, Inc., Newco,
       Holdco, and Trustco have (A) acknowledged in writing that all assets --
       limited, in the case of Trustco, as provided in Section 5.5(c) below --
       and capital stock transferred to them as described in Section 5.5(a)
       continue to be subject to pre-existing Lender Liens (to the extent of
       those Lender Liens) already encumbering those assets and stock and (B)
       have created Lender Liens upon all of their respective present and
       future accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, fixtures, real
       property, and plants.

            (c)  Lien Limitation.  Schedule 5.5 is a list of assets transferred
       by Borrower to Trustco.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision in any
       Loan Paper other than Section 5.5(d), the Lender Liens on each asset or
       group of assets listed on Schedule 5.5 are limited -- effective as of
       March 30, 1996, immediately before those transfers to Trustco by
       Borrower -- so that they only secure an amount of the Obligations equal
       to the amount corresponding to Borrower's tax basis in each asset being
       transferred to Trustco, which tax basis is reflected on Schedule 5.5 by
       asset or groups of assets.  The limitation in this Section 5.5(c)
       applies only to those assets and groups of assets and not to any other
       present or future assets now or in the future created or owned by
       Trustco.

            (d)  No Lien Limitation.  Notwithstanding Section 5.5(c) or any
