                                     GENERAL

         On December 19, 1997, a wholly owned subsidiary ("Newco") of Pillowtex
Corporation ("Pillowtex") was merged with and into Fieldcrest Cannon, Inc.
("Fieldcrest") pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of
September 10, 1997 (the "Merger Agreement"), among Pillowtex, Newco, and
Fieldcrest. At the effective time (the "Effective Time") of such merger (the
"Merger"), among other things, on the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement
(i) each then-outstanding share of Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share, of
Fieldcrest ("Fieldcrest Common Stock") was converted into the right to receive
total consideration consisting of (a) a cash payment in an amount equal to
$27.00 and (b) 0.269 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of
Pillowtex ("Pillowtex Common Stock"), (ii) each then-outstanding share of $3.00
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Fieldcrest
was converted into the right to receive total consideration consisting of (a) a
cash payment in an amount equal to $46.15 and (b) 0.4598286 shares of Pillowtex
Common Stock, and (iii) each then-outstanding share of Common Stock, par value
$0.01 per share, of Newco was converted into one share of Common Stock, par
value $0.01 per share, of Fieldcrest (as the surviving corporation in the
Merger). Immediately following the Merger, Pillowtex owned 100% of the
outstanding capital stock of Fieldcrest.

         Pillowtex financed the Merger and, simultaneously with the closing of
the Merger, refinanced certain indebtedness of Pillowtex and Fieldcrest through
a combination of (i) borrowings under new senior revolving credit and term loan

         The pro forma information set forth below is presented for illustrative
purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what Pillowtex's actual
consolidated capitalization would have been had the foregoing transactions been
consummated on September 27, 1997, nor does it give effect to (i) any
transactions other than the foregoing transactions and those discussed in the
Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information of Pillowtex
contained elsewhere herein or (ii) Pillowtex's or Fieldcrest's respective
results of operations since September 27, 1997 and September 30, 1997,
respectively. Accordingly, the pro forma information set forth below does not

Effective Time, the date hereof, or any future date.

         UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF PILLOWTEX

     The following unaudited pro forma combined financial statements of
Pillowtex give effect to the consummation of the Merger and the Financing
Transactions, as if such transactions had been consummated: (i) on September 27,
1997, in the case of the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet at September
27, 1997 and (ii) on December 31, 1995, the first day of Pillowtex's 1996 fiscal
year, in the case of the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Operations
for the fiscal year ended December 28, 1996 and the nine months ended September
27, 1997. As used herein, the term "Financing Transactions" means (i) initial
borrowings under the New Pillowtex Bank Facilities of $149.0 million under the
Revolver and $250.0 million under the Term Loan, (ii) the issuance and sale of
$185.0 million aggregate principal amount of New Pillowtex Subordinated Notes,
(iii) the issuance and sale of 65,000 shares of Pillowtex Preferred Stock, (iv)
the repayment of all amounts outstanding under Pillowtex's and Fieldcrest's
existing bank credit facilities, and (v) the satisfaction and discharge of all
indebtedness represented by Fieldcrest's 11.25% Senior Subordinated Debentures
Due 2002 to 2004 pursuant to an irrevocable deposit of amounts sufficient to
provide for the redemption thereof.

     The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information is
presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of
what Pillowtex's actual financial position or results of operations would have
been had the foregoing transactions been consummated on such dates, nor does it
give effect to (i) any transactions other than the foregoing transactions and
those described in the accompanying Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Combined
Financial Information of Pillowtex, (ii) Pillowtex's or Fieldcrest's results of
operations since September 27, 1997 and September 30, 1997, respectively, or
(iii) one-time charges of approximately $7.5 million, including approximately
$2.0 million of cash charges, expected to result from the Merger and the
integration of the operations of Pillowtex. Although the following unaudited pro
forma combined financial information gives effect to assumed annual cost savings
of $21.6 million, it does not give effect to certain additional annual cost
savings expected to be achieved following consummation of the Merger. The pro
forma combined financial information does not purport to be indicative of
Pillowtex's financial position or results of operations as of the date of the
closing of the Merger or for any period ended on the date of the closing of the
Merger, as of the date hereof or for any period ending on the date hereof, or as
of or for any future date or period.

     The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information is based
upon the historical financial statements of Pillowtex and Fieldcrest and should
be read in conjunction with such historical financial statements and the related
notes. In the preparation of the following unaudited pro forma combined
financial information, it has been generally assumed that the historical value
of Fieldcrest's assets and liabilities approximates the fair value thereof
(except as described in the accompanying Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Combined
Financial Information of Pillowtex), as an independent valuation has not been
completed. Pillowtex will be required to determine the fair value of the assets
and liabilities of Fieldcrest (including intangible assets) as of the Effective
Time. Although such determination of fair value is not presently expected to
result in values that are materially greater or less than the values assumed in
the preparation of the following unaudited pro forma combined financial
information, there can be no assurance with respect thereto.

     The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet at September 27, 1997 is
based upon Pillowtex's financial position at September 27, 1997 and upon
Fieldcrest's financial position at September 30, 1997. The Unaudited Pro Forma
Combined Statement of Operations for the fiscal year ended December 28, 1996 is
based upon Pillowtex's results of operations for its fiscal year ended December
28, 1996 and upon Fieldcrest's results of operations for its fiscal year ended
December 31, 1996. The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Operations for
the nine months ended September 27, 1997 is based upon Pillowtex's results of
operations for the nine months ended September 27, 1997 and upon Fieldcrest's
results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.

     The home textiles and furnishings industry is seasonal in nature, with a
higher proportion of sales and earnings usually being generated in the third and
fourth quarters of the fiscal year than in other periods. Because of this
seasonality and other factors, results of operations for interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of results of operations for an entire fiscal year.

                  (i.e., the closing date of the Merger). The discount of
                  $18,636,000 will be amortized to interest expense using the
                  interest method over the remaining life of the Fieldcrest
                  Convertible Debentures.

         (j)      Reflects the preliminary fair value remeasurement of
                  Fieldcrest's liability for post-retirement benefits other than

                  may identify intangible assets (such as trade names) to which
                  a portion of the purchase price should be allocated. Pillowtex
                  believes that the amortization period for such identifiable
                  intangible assets will also be 40 years.

         If Pillowtex were to fail to attain specified earnings per share
         targets in 1999, dividends for fiscal years after 1999 would increase
         from the initial 3.0% rate to 7.0% or 10.0% and Pillowtex would be
         required to pay an additional dividend consisting of shares of
         Pillowtex Preferred Stock, in each case as described above.

(13)     The assumed conversion of the Fieldcrest Convertible Debentures and
         the Pillowtex Preferred Stock would have an anti-dilutive effect on
         earnings per share for the year ended December 28, 1996, and therefore
         has been excluded from the computation thereof.

(14)     EBITDA is income before income taxes plus depreciation expense,
         amortization expense, and net interest expense.  EBITDA is presented
         because it is a widely accepted financial indicator of a company's
         ability to service and/or incur indebtedness; however, EBITDA should
         not be considered as an alternative to net income (as a measure of
         operating results) or to cash flows (as a measure of liquidity)
         computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
         In addition, EBITDA as presented herein may not be directly comparable
         to EBITDA as reported by other companies.
