                    PILLOWTEX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
            (Debtor-in-Possession Subsequent to September 30, 2000)
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1)  Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Pillowtex
     Corporation and its subsidiaries, which are collectively referred to in
     this report as the "Company," include all adjustments, consisting only of
     normal recurring adjustments and accruals, which are, in the opinion of
     management, necessary for fair presentation of the results of operations
     and financial position.  Results of operations for interim periods may not
     be indicative of future results.  The unaudited consolidated financial
     statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
     financial statements included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K,
     as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the fiscal year
     ended January 1, 2000.

     The Company is organized by functional responsibilities and operates as a
     single segment.

     Information technology costs associated with the Company's manufacturing
     systems ($3.8 million and $12.8 million for three and nine month periods
     ended October 2, 1999, respectively) have been reclassified from selling,
     general and administrative expense to cost of goods sold in the 1999
     consolidated statements of operation to conform to the current year
     presentation.

(2)  Subsequent Events

     Subsequent to the end of the Company's third fiscal quarter, Pillowtex
     Corporation and substantially all of its domestic subsidiaries
     (collectively, the "Debtors"), including Fieldcrest Cannon, Inc.
     ("Fieldcrest Cannon"), filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under
     chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in
     the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the
     "Bankruptcy Court") on November 14, 2000 (the "Petition Date"). The chapter
     11 cases pending for the Debtors (the "Chapter 11 Cases") are being jointly
     administered for procedural purposes.

     In conjunction with the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors
     sought and obtained several orders from the Bankruptcy Court which were
     intended to enable the Debtors to operate in the normal course of business
     during the Chapter 11 Cases.  The most significant of these orders (i)
     permit the Debtors to operate their consolidated cash management system
     during the Chapter 11 Cases in substantially the same manner as it was
     operated prior to the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, (ii) authorize
     payment of prepetition employee salaries, wages and benefits and
     reimbursement of prepetition employee business expenses, (iii) authorize
     payment of prepetition sales, payroll and use taxes owed by the Debtors,
     (iv) authorize payment of certain prepetition obligations to customers, and
     (v) authorize payment of certain prepetition obligations to critical
     vendors to aid the Debtors in maintaining operation of their business.

     On November 14, 2000, the Bankruptcy Court also entered an order (the
     "Interim DIP Financing Order") authorizing the Debtors to enter into a
     $150.0 million debtor-in-possession financing facility (the "DIP Financing
     Facility") with Bank of America, N.A. as agent for a syndicate of financial
     institutions comprised of certain of the Company's prepetition senior
     secured lenders, and to grant first priority priming liens and mortgages,
     security interests, and liens (including priming liens), and on
     substantially all of the assets of the Debtors to secure the DIP Financing
     Facility. Pursuant to the Interim DIP Financing Order, the Debtors are
     authorized to utilize up to $60.0 million, consisting of up to $35.0
     million in postpetition loans and $25.0 million in postpetition letters of
     credit, under the DIP Financing Facility, on an interim basis pending a
     final hearing to approve the DIP Financing Facility. Such hearing is
     scheduled for December 6, 2000. As of the date of this report, the
     documentation evidencing the DIP Financing Facility has not been executed,
     but the parties have agreed to the principal terms of the arrangement and
     the form documentation was attached to the Interim DIP Financing Order. The
     Company anticipates that the documentation for the DIP Financing Facility
     will be finalized and executed prior to the Bankruptcy Court hearing
     scheduled for December 6, 2000. Following the entry of the final order
     approving the DIP Financing Facility by the Bankruptcy Court (the "Final
     DIP Financing Order"), the remaining $90.0 million, over and above the
     $60.0 million approved

                                       7
<PAGE>

     by the Interim DIP Financing Order of the Bankruptcy Court, would be
     available to the Debtors. See Note 6 for a discussion of the DIP Financing
     Facility.

     The Debtors are currently operating their businesses as debtors-in-
     possession pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code.  Pursuant to the Bankruptcy
     Code, prepetition obligations of the Debtors, including obligations under
     debt instruments, generally may not be enforced against the Debtors, and
     any actions to collect prepetition indebtedness are automatically stayed,
     unless the stay is lifted by the Bankruptcy Court.  In addition, as
     debtors-in-possession, the Debtors have the right, subject to Bankruptcy
     Court approval and certain other limitations, to assume or reject executory
     contracts and unexpired leases.  In this context, "assumption" means that
     the Debtors agree to perform their obligations and cure all existing
     defaults under the contract or lease, and "rejection" means that the
     Debtors are relieved from their obligations to perform further under the
     contract or lease, but are subject to a claim for damages for the breach
     thereof.  Any damages resulting from rejection of executory contracts and
     unexpired leases will be treated as general unsecured claims in the Chapter
     11 Cases unless such claims had been secured on a prepetition basis prior
     to the Petition Date.  The Debtors are in the process of reviewing their
     executory contracts and unexpired leases to determine which, if any, they
     will reject.  The Debtors cannot presently determine or reasonably estimate
     the ultimate liability that may result from rejecting contracts or leases
     or from the filing of claims for any rejected contracts or leases, and no
     provisions have yet been made for these items.

     The Bankruptcy Code provides that the Debtors have exclusive periods during
     which only they may file and solicit acceptances of a plan of
     reorganization.  The exclusive period of the Debtors to file a plan for
     reorganization currently expires on March 14, 2001; however, the Debtors
     can request the Bankruptcy Court to extend such exclusive period.  If the
     Debtors fail to file a plan of reorganization during the exclusive period
     or, after such plan has been filed, if the Debtors fail to obtain
     acceptance of such plan from the requisite impaired classes of creditors
     and equity holders during the exclusive solicitation period, any party in
     interest, including a creditor, an equity holder, a committee of creditors
     or equity  holders or an indenture trustee, may file their own plan of
     reorganization for the Debtors.

     After a plan of reorganization has been filed with the Bankruptcy Court,
     the plan, along with a disclosure statement approved by the Bankruptcy
     Court, will be sent to all creditors and equity holders.  Following the
     solicitation period, the Bankruptcy Court will consider whether to confirm
     the plan.  In order to confirm a plan of reorganization, the Bankruptcy
     Court, among other things, is required to find that (i) with respect to
     each impaired class of creditors and equity holders, each holder in such
     class has accepted the plan or will, pursuant to the plan, receive at least
     as much as such holder would receive in a liquidation, (ii) each impaired
     class of creditors and equity holders has accepted the plan by the
     requisite vote (except as described in the following sentence), and (iii)
     confirmation of the plan is not likely to be followed by a liquidation or a
     need for further financial reorganization of the Debtors or any successors
     to the Debtors unless the plan proposes such liquidation or reorganization.
     If any impaired class of creditors or equity holders does not accept the
     plan and, assuming that all of the other requirements of the Bankruptcy
     Code are met, the proponent of the plan may invoke the "cram down"
     provisions of the Bankruptcy Code; under these provisions, the Bankruptcy
     Court may confirm a plan notwithstanding the non-acceptance of the plan by
     an impaired class of creditors or equity holders if certain requirements of
     the Bankruptcy Code are met.  These requirements may, among other things,
     necessitate payment in full for senior classes of creditors before payment
     to a junior class can be made.  As a result of the amount of prepetition
     indebtedness and the availability of the "cram down" provisions, the
     holders of the Company's capital stock may receive no value for their
     interests under the plan of reorganization.  Because of such possibility,
     the value of the Company's outstanding capital stock is highly speculative.

     Since the Petition Date, the Debtors have continued to conduct business in
     the ordinary course.  Management is in the process of stabilizing the
     business of the Debtors and evaluating their operations before beginning
     the development of a plan of reorganization.

     During the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors may, with

     and convertible preferred stock were excluded from the computation of
     diluted loss per share for the periods ended October 2, 1999 and September
     30, 2000 because their inclusion would be antidilutive.

     DIP Financing Facility.  As discussed in Note 2 above, on November 14,
     ----------------------
     2000, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Interim DIP Financing Order
     authorizing the Debtors to enter into the $150.0 million DIP Financing
     Facility and to grant superpriority claims and mortgages, security
     interests, and liens (including priming liens), and on substantially all of
     the assets of the Debtors to secure the DIP Financing Facility. Pursuant to
     the Interim DIP Financing Order, the Debtors are authorized to utilize up
     to $60.0 million, consisting of up to $35.0 million in postpetition loans
     and $25.0 million in postpetition letters of credit, under the DIP
     Financing Facility, on an interim basis pending a final hearing to approve
     the DIP Financing Facility. Such hearing is scheduled for December 6, 2000.
     As of the date of this report, the documentation evidencing the DIP
     Financing Facility has not been executed, but the parties have agreed to
     the principal terms of the arrangement and the form documentation was
     attached to the Interim DIP Financing Order. The Company anticipates that
     the documentation for the DIP Financing Facility will be finalized and
     executed prior to the Bankruptcy Court hearing scheduled for December 6,
     2000. Following the entry of the Final DIP Financing Order, the remaining
     $90.0 million, over and above the $60.0 million approved by the Interim DIP
     Financing Order of the Bankruptcy Court, would be available to the Debtors.

     Under the terms of the DIP Financing Facility, a $150.0 million revolving
     credit facility, including up to $60 million for postpetition letters of
     credit, would be available to the Company until the earliest of (i)
     November 14, 2001, (ii) the date on which the plan of reorganization
     becomes effective, (iii) any material non-compliance with any of the terms
     of the Interim DIP Financing Order or the Final DIP Financing Order, (iv)
     any event of default that shall have occurred under the DIP Financing
     Facility, or (v) consummation of a sale of substantially all of the assets
     of the Company pursuant to an order of the

     Bankruptcy Court shall have occurred. Upon the satisfaction of certain
     conditions, the November 14, 2001 maturity date could be extended for an
     additional period of six months upon payment of an extension fee equal to
     0.50% of the portion of DIP Financing Facility being extended. Amounts
     borrowed under the DIP Financing Facility would bear interest at the option
     of the Company at the rate of the London Interbank Offering Rate ("LIBOR")
     plus 3.50% or Bank of America's Base Rate (which is the higher of Federal
     Funds Rate or Prime Rate plus, in either case, 0.05%) plus 1.00%. In
     addition to a facility fee and an underwriting fee of 0.50% each, there is
     an unused commitment fee of 0.50%, a letter of credit fee of 3.50%, and a
     letter of credit fronting fee of 0.20%. The DIP Financing Facility would be
     secured by a first priority priming lien on the real and personal assets of
     the Company that also secure the prepetition senior secured credit
     facilities and a junior lien on certain plant and equipment that secure six
     industrial revenue bond facilities (the "IRB Facilities") aggregating
     approximately $15.5 million and certain obligations to the Pension Benefit
     Guaranty Corporation. The documentation evidencing the DIP Financing
     Facility would contain financial covenants requiring maintenance of an
     asset coverage ratio and a minimum operating cash flow, as well as other
     covenants that limit, among other things, indebtedness, liens, sales of
     assets, capital expenditures and investments, and prohibit dividend
     payments. The net proceeds of certain asset sales outside the ordinary
     course of business would reduce prepetition indebtedness under the senior
     secured credit facilities; otherwise, the net proceeds of asset sales
     outside the ordinary course of business would be applied as a permanent
     reduction of the DIP Financing Facility.

     There can be no assurance that the documentation evidencing the DIP
     Financing Facility will be finalized and executed on the terms described
     above or that, if finalized and executed on such terms, the DIP Financing
     Facility will be approved by final order of the Bankruptcy Court.

     Senior Debt Facilities.  In December 1997, in connection with the
     ----------------------
     Fieldcrest Cannon acquisition, the Company entered into new senior secured
     revolving credit and term loan facilities with a group of financial and
     institutional investors for which Bank of America, N.A. acts as the
     administrative and collateral agent.  These facilities consisted of a
     $350.0 million revolving credit facility and a $250.0 million term loan
     facility.  The term loan facility consisted of a $125.0 million Tranche A
     Term Loan and a $125.0 million Tranche B Term Loan.  Effective July 28,
     1998, the Company amended these facilities by increasing the Tranche B Term
     Loan to $225.0 million.  The increase occurred in conjunction with the
     acquisition of The Leshner Corporation, allowing the Company to fund the
     transaction and reduce borrowings under the revolving credit facility.
     Effective March 12, 1999, the revolving credit facility was amended to
     permit the Company to use for working capital one-half of a $61.0 million
     portion of the facility held as contingency reserve for cash payments
     required upon conversion of the Fieldcrest Cannon 6% Convertible
     Subordinated Debentures due 2012 (the "6% Debentures"), thereby increasing
     availability under that facility.  Effective October 1, 1999, the revolving
     credit facility was further amended to permit the Company to use the other
     half of the contingency reserve for working capital, thereby increasing
     availability under that facility. At the end of the third and fourth
     quarters of its 1999 fiscal year, the Company was not in compliance with
     certain financial covenants under its senior debt facilities.  The Company
     obtained a series of temporary waivers of this non-compliance.  Effective
     as of December 7, 1999, the Company agreed to certain amendments to the
     senior debt facilities, principally related to cash management, additional
     collateral, adjustments to restrictive covenants, and borrowings under, and
     uses of proceeds from, the revolving credit facility.  Effective as of
     March 31, 2000, the Company obtained a permanent waiver of its prior non-
     compliance with financial covenants and the senior debt facilities were
     further amended to shorten their terms to maturity and accelerate the
     related amortization schedule for repayment of principal, to eliminate
     reinstatement of  the contingency reserve requirement referred to above, to
     increase the applicable interest rate margins (subject to reduction if the
     Company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
     ("EBITDA") exceeds a specified level for the 2000 fiscal year), to add a
     covenant requiring that EBITDA must exceed specified levels for future
     fiscal periods and eliminate all other financial covenants, to modify
     certain restrictive covenants, to limit borrowings under the revolving
     credit facility based on a formula tied to 45% of eligible inventory plus
     80% of eligible accounts receivable, and to provide for a series of
     reductions in the commitment under the revolving credit facility.

            (Debtor-in-Possession Subsequent to September 30, 2000)
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The revolving credit facility includes $55.0 million of availability for
     letters of credit.  Under the revolving credit facility, at September 30,
     2000, $302.5 million of loans were outstanding, $32.9 million of letters of
     credit were outstanding, and $14.6 million was available for borrowings.

     As amended, amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility and the
     Tranche A Term Loan currently bear interest at a rate based upon the LIBOR
     plus 3.50%.  The Tranche B Term Loan bears interest on a similar basis to
     the Tranche A Term Loan, plus an additional margin of 0.50%.  The weighted
     average annual interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the various
     senior credit facilities through the third quarter of 2000 was 10.21%.  The
     senior debt facilities expire on January 31, 2002.

     The senior debt facilities are guaranteed by each of the domestic
     subsidiaries of the Company, and are secured by first priority liens on all
     of the capital stock of each domestic subsidiary of the Company and by 65%
     of the capital stock of the Company's foreign subsidiaries.  The Company
     has also granted a first priority security interest in all of its presently
     unencumbered and future domestic assets and properties, and all presently
     unencumbered and future domestic assets and properties of each of its
     subsidiaries.  The term loan facility is subject to mandatory prepayment
     from all net cash proceeds of asset sales and debt issuances of the Company
     (except as specifically provided), 50% of the net cash proceeds of equity
     issuances by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and 75% of Excess Cash
     Flow (as defined).  All mandatory prepayments are to be applied pro rata
     between the Tranche A Term Loan and the Tranche B Term Loan to reduce the
     remaining installments of principal.

     On September 30, 2000, and prior to the Petition Date, the Company was not
     in compliance with its EBITDA financial covenant under the senior debt
     facilities.  The Company obtained from its senior lenders a temporary
     waiver of such non-compliance through November 7, 2000, during which time
     the Company engaged in active discussions with its senior lenders to obtain
     an extended or permanent waiver of such non-compliance.  The Company was
     unable to reach such an agreement with its senior lenders and the waiver
     expired on November 7, 2000.  On November 8, 2000, the agent for the senior
     lenders delivered a notice of default to the Company that declared an event
     of default under the senior debt facilities based upon such non-compliance
     with its EBITDA financial covenant.  The senior lenders did, however,
     forbear from exercising rights and remedies under the senior debt
     facilities and agreed to continue to make available to the Company the
     unused credit capacity under the revolving credit facility until December
     7, 2000.  In addition, on November 8, 2000, the senior lenders issued a
     Payment Blockage Notice to the Company and the indenture trustee for the
     Company's 10% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2006 (the "10% Notes")
     prohibiting payment by the Company of the semi-annual interest payment in
     the aggregate amount of approximately $6.25 million due to the holders of
     the 10% Notes on November 15, 2000.  After a 30-day grace period, the 10%
     Notes would be in default for nonpayment of interest.  In addition, the
     Company was obligated to make a semi-annual interest payment on its 9%
     Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 (the "9% Notes") on December 15, 2000
     aggregating $8.3 million, which payment the senior lenders likewise
     indicated they would also block.  As a result of the circumstances
     confronting the Company and its inability to refinance the senior debt
     facilities or obtain additional capital, the Debtors filed the Chapter 11
     Cases on November 14, 2000.

     As a result of the EBITDA financial covenant default, the Company has
     classified all of the senior secured debt directly affected by the default
     (including debt under the overline facility described below) as current.
     As of September 30, 2000, the long-term debt payable within one year was
     $725.1 million, of which $637.5 million is the result of the default.

     Overline Facility.  In May 1999, the Company entered into a $20.0 million
     -----------------
     senior unsecured revolving credit facility (overline facility) in order to
     obtain additional working capital availability.  On July 27, 1999, the
     overline facility was amended to increase the amount of funds available to
     $35.0 million.  At the end of the third and fourth quarters of its 1999
     fiscal year, the Company was not in compliance with certain financial
     covenants under the overline facility, the covenants of which are
     incorporated by reference to the senior debt facilities described above.
     The Company obtained a series of temporary waivers of this non-compliance
     and extensions of the maturity date.  Effective as of December 7, 1999, the
     Company agreed to

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     certain amendments to the overline facility, resulting in the overline
     facility being secured by the assets securing the senior debt facilities
     described above. Effective as of March 31, 2000, the Company obtained a
     permanent waiver of its prior non-compliance and the overline facility was
     amended to lengthen its term to maturity, to impose an amortization
     schedule for the repayment of principal, and to increase the applicable
     interest rate margins (subject to reduction if EBITDA exceeds a specified
     level for the 2000 fiscal year).

     The overline facility is guaranteed on a senior basis by the Company's
     domestic subsidiaries.  The Company is currently required to pay interest
     on any amounts borrowed under the overline facility at a rate which is
     based upon LIBOR plus 4.5% or the base rate plus 3.0%, at the Company's
     option.  The overline facility matures upon termination by the Company at
     any time or otherwise at the earliest of: (i) any increase in the
     commitment under the senior debt facilities described above, the issuance
     of any capital stock by the Company or its domestic subsidiaries, or other
     specified events; or (ii) January 31, 2002.

     For the reasons discussed above with respect to the default under the
     senior debt facilities, the Company is also in default under the overline
     facility.

     Senior Subordinated Debt.  In connection with the Fieldcrest Cannon merger,
     ------------------------
     the Company issued $185.0 million of the 9% Notes, with interest payable
     semiannually commencing June 15, 1998.  The Company may, at its option,
     redeem the 9% Notes, in whole or in part, on or after December 15, 2002 at
     a redemption price of 104.5%, which declines 1.5% annually through December
     15, 2005 to 100%.  The 9% Notes are general unsecured obligations of the
     Company, are subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future
     senior indebtedness, and rank pari passu with the 10% Notes described
     below.

     On November 12, 1996, the Company issued $125.0 million of the 10% Notes,
     with interest payable semiannually commencing May 15, 1997.  The Company
     may, at its option, redeem the 10% Notes, in whole or in part, on or after
     November 15, 2001 at a redemption price of 105.0%, which declines 1.667%
     annually through November 15, 2004 to 100%.  The 10% Notes are general
     unsecured obligations of the Company, are subordinated in right of payment
     to all existing and future senior indebtedness, and rank pari passu with
     the 9% Notes.

     The 9% Notes and the 10% Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior
     subordinated basis by each of the existing and future domestic subsidiaries
     of the Company and each other subsidiary of the Company that guarantees the
     Company's obligations under the senior debt facilities described above.
     The guarantees are subordinated in right of payment to all existing and
     future senior indebtedness of the relevant guarantor. Upon a change in
     control, the Company will be required to make an offer to repurchase all
     outstanding 9% Notes and 10% Notes at 101% of the principal amount thereof,
     plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of
     repurchase.

     As a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company is in
     default under the indentures governing both the 9% Notes and the 10% Notes.

     Fieldcrest Cannon Convertible Debentures.  As a result of the Company's
     ----------------------------------------
     acquisition of Fieldcrest Cannon, the outstanding 6% Debentures are
     convertible, at the option of the holders, into a combination of cash and
     the Company's common stock ("Common Stock").  During the fourth quarter of
     1999, the Company notified the holders of the 6% Debentures that it was not
     practicable or prudent for payments to be made in respect of the conversion
     of the 6% Debentures and advised holders that had given notice of
     conversion and surrendered their 6% Debentures that they could rescind
     their notice of conversion, return to the Company any Common Stock that had
     been issued to them and have their 6% Debentures reinstated.  Although many
     holders did rescind and return their Common Stock, other holders could not
     rescind because they had already sold their Common Stock.  As of September
     30, 2000, the cash component remaining to be paid in respect of the 6%
     Debentures that had been surrendered without subsequent rescission was
     approximately $5.2 million.  In addition, as of September 30, 2000,
     approximately $90.4 million aggregate principal amount of the 6% Debentures
     remained outstanding, including 6% Debentures

     that had been surrendered without subsequent rescission. If all such
     outstanding 6% Debentures were converted at such date, including those
     surrendered without subsequent rescission, the resulting cash component to
     be paid to the holders of the 6% Debentures would have been approximately
     $57.2 million.

     Prior to the Petition Date, the Company was prohibited under the terms of
     the indentures governing the 9% Notes and the 10% Notes from making
     payments in respect of the 6% Debentures except for interest payments and
     payments at maturity or pursuant to sinking fund obligations.  In an effort
     to address both (i) the unpaid cash portion of the conversion consideration
     owing to those holders of 6% Debentures who have surrendered their
     debentures for conversion but have not been paid the cash portion of the
     conversion consideration (the "Cash Claimants") and (ii) the cash payment
     prohibition in respect of any future conversions, the Company initiated
     discussions with certain holders of the 6% Debentures regarding a potential
     restructuring of the 6% Debentures. Notwithstanding months of efforts, the
     parties to those discussions were unable to agree upon a mutually
     satisfactory comprehensive restructuring of the 6% Debentures and amounts
     owing to the Cash Claimants. In September 2000, the Company notified the
     holders of the 6% Debentures of its plan for making payments to the Cash
     Claimants.  Pursuant to the plan, the Company agreed to pay out as a
     "scheduled payment" cash in the amount of approximately $3.8 million
     annually to the Cash Claimants, which is the amount of cash sufficient to
     complete the conversion of $6.25 million principal amount of the 6%
     Debentures annually and utilize such converted 6% Debentures as a credit to
     satisfy its annual sinking fund obligation under the indenture governing
     the 6% Debentures.  As part of the plan and in accordance with the terms of
     the indenture governing the 6% Debentures, the Company agreed to pay out
     cash to the Cash Claimants in order to complete and finalize Debenture
     conversions and utilize such converted Debentures as credits to satisfy its
     annual sinking fund obligations as follows: (i) approximately $3.8 million
     on September 28, 2000, (ii) approximately $3.8 million on March 16, 2001,
     and (iii) the balance owing to Cash Claimants on March 18, 2002.  These
     cash payments would be made by the Company to the Cash Claimants in the
     order the 6% Debentures were presented for conversion, i.e., on a first to
     convert, first to be paid basis.  Furthermore, the unpaid cash portion for
     each Cash Claimant is evidenced by a non-interest bearing subordinated
     promissory note executed by Fieldcrest Cannon (the "Cash Claimant Notes").
     Pursuant to the plan, the Company made the first scheduled payment on
     September 28, 2000.  As of September 30, 2000, the aggregate principal
     amount of the outstanding Cash Claimant Notes was $5.2 million.

     As a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, Fieldcrest Cannon is in
     default under the indenture governing the 6% Debentures and the Cash
     Claimant Notes.

     Industrial Revenue Bonds.  The Company has obligations in respect of six
     ------------------------
     industrial revenue bond facilities.  The IRB Facilities are secured by
     liens on specified plants and equipment.  As of September 30, 2000, $15.5
     million of bonds in the aggregate were outstanding under the IRB
     Facilities.

     As a result of the default on the senior debt facilities and the filing of
     the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company is in default of its obligations under
     each of the IRB Facilities

     Swap Agreements.  The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to
     ---------------
     modify the interest characteristics of portions of its outstanding debt.
     These agreements entitle the Company to receive or pay to the counterparty
     (a major bank), on a quarterly basis, the amounts, if any, by which the
     Company's interest payments covered by swap agreements differ from those of
     the counterparty. These amounts are recorded as adjustments to interest
     expense.  The fair value of the swap agreements and changes in fair value
     as a result of changes in market interest rates are not currently
     recognized in the consolidated financial statements. As of January 1, 2000,
     the Company had approximately $345.0 million of notional amounts covered
     under interest rate swap agreements whereby the Company exchanged floating
     rates for fixed rates. The weighted average fixed and floating rates were
     4.70% and 5.96%, respectively.  As of September 30, 2000, the Company had
     approximately $230.0 million of notional amounts covered under interest
     rate swap agreements whereby the Company exchanged floating rates for fixed
     rates.  The weighted average fixed and floating rates were 4.68% and 6.61%,
     respectively.  The fair values of the

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     swaps at January 1, 2000 and September 30, 2000 were $4.0 million and $1.2
     million, respectively, in favor of the Company. These swaps expired on
     October 27, 2000.

     Adequacy of Capital Resources.  As discussed above, the Debtors are
     -----------------------------
     operating their businesses as debtors-in-possession under chapter 11 of the
     Bankruptcy Code.  The Company anticipates that it will incur significant
     professional fees and other restructuring costs in connection with the
     Chapter 11 Cases and the ongoing restructuring of its business operations
     throughout the remainder of fiscal year 2000 and during fiscal year 2001.
     Based on current and anticipated levels of operations, and efforts to
     reduce inventories and accounts receivable, the Company anticipates that
     its cash flow from operations, together with amounts available under the
     DIP Financing Facility, will be adequate to meet its anticipated cash
     requirements during the time that the Chapter 11 Cases are pending.  In the
     event that cash flows and available borrowings under the DIP Financing
     Facility are not sufficient to meet future cash requirements, the Company
     may be required to reduce planned capital expenditures or seek additional
     financing.  The Company can provide no assurances that reductions in
     planned capital expenditures would be sufficient to cover shortfalls in
     available cash or that additional financing would be available or, if
     available, offered on acceptable terms. The Company's long-term liquidity
     and the adequacy of the Company's capital resources cannot ultimately be
     determined until a plan of reorganization has been developed and confirmed
     by the Bankruptcy Court in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases.

(7)  Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

     On December 19, 1997, the Company issued 65,000 shares of Series A
     Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred Stock") for
     $65.0 million less $2.1 million of issue costs.  Accretion is being
     recognized to increase the recorded amount to the redemption amount over
     the period to the redemption date.  Dividends accrued from the issue date
     through December 31, 1999 at a 3% annual rate.  Beginning January 1, 2000,
     the rate increased to 10% as a result of the Company's earnings per share
     for 1999 falling below predetermined targets.  During the third and fourth
     quarters of the 1999 fiscal year, the Company accrued and paid in kind a
     one-time cumulative dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock, from the
     issue date through December 31, 1999, equal to the difference between the
     dividends calculated at the 3% rate and dividends calculated at the 10%
     rate, or 10,135 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.  Under the terms of the
     Series A Preferred Stock, dividends can be paid in cash or additional
     shares of preferred stock until December 2002, at which time they must be
     paid in cash.  The Company's ability to pay cash dividends on the Series A
     Preferred Stock is restricted under the terms of its senior credit
     facilities and senior subordinated debt.  Under the DIP Financing Facility,
     the Company would be prohibited from paying any dividends on the Series A
     Preferred Stock.  A total of 81,411 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were
     outstanding as of September 30, 2000.

     The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible, at any time at the option of
     the holder, into Common Stock at a rate calculated by dividing $1,000 plus
     unpaid dividends per share by $24.00 per share.  Each share of Series A
     Preferred Stock is subject to mandatory redemption in ten and one-half
     years after the issue date at a redemption price of $1,000 plus accrued and
     unpaid dividends.  The Company has the right after the fourth anniversary
     of the issue date to call all or a portion of the Series A Preferred Stock
     at $1,000 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends times a premium equal
     to the dividend rate after the fourth anniversary date and declining
     ratably to the mandatory redemption date.  Holders of the Series A
     Preferred Stock are entitled to limited voting rights only under certain
     conditions.

     The commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases constitutes an "Event of
     Noncompliance" under the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock.  The terms
     of the Series A Preferred Stock provide that upon the occurrence of an
     Event of Noncompliance, the dividend rate on such stock will increase
     immediately to the lesser of 18% per annum and the maximum rate permitted
     by law.

(8)  Long-Lived Assets

     During the third quarter of 1999, the Company recorded a $2.0 million
     charge to adjust the carrying value of the Opelika facility, which was
     closed in the first quarter of 1999, to estimated fair market value.

     The Company's ability to fully recover the carrying amount of goodwill and
     other long-lived assets through undiscounted cash flows assumes that
     results of operations and cash flows in future periods will improve from
     their current levels.  In the event that the market or general economic
     conditions affecting the Company worsen or if management is unable to
     achieve its business objectives, impairment of goodwill and other long-
     lived assets may be necessary; these impairment charges could be material
     in the near term.  Additionally, management is currently evaluating various
     alternatives for restructuring the Company's business. These alternatives
     may include, among other things, disposal of certain assets. In the event
     of a disposal of assets, a loss could result if the cash flows generated
     from disposal are not sufficient to recover the carrying amount of such
     assets. As of September 30, 2000, the Company had no assets that were held
     for sale.

     are wholly owned domestic subsidiaries of Parent and the guarantees are
     full, unconditional and joint and several.  Separate financial statements
     of the guarantor subsidiaries are not presented because management believes

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

Pillowtex Corporation and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to in this
report as the "Company".  The following discussion should be read in conjunction
with the attached unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto,
and with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2000.

Subsequent Events
-----------------

Subsequent to the end of the Company's third fiscal quarter, on (the "Petition
Date"), Pillowtex Corporation and substantially all of its domestic subsidiaries
(collectively, the "Debtors"), including Fieldcrest Cannon, Inc. ("Fieldcrest
Cannon"), filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under chapter 11 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court") November
14, 2000. The chapter 11 cases pending for the Debtors (the "Chapter 11 Cases")
are being jointly administered for procedural purposes.

In conjunction with the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors sought
and obtained several orders from the Bankruptcy Court which were intended to
enable the Debtors to operate in the normal course of business during the
Chapter 11 Cases.  The most significant of these orders (i) permit the Debtors
to operate their consolidated cash management system during the Chapter 11 Cases
in substantially the same manner as it was operated prior to the commencement of
the Chapter 11 Cases, (ii) authorize payment of prepetition employee salaries,
wages and benefits and reimbursement of prepetition employee business expenses,
(iii) authorize payment of prepetition sales, payroll and use taxes owed by the
Debtors, (iv) authorize payment of criteria prepetition obligations to
customers, and (v) authorize payment of certain prepetition obligations to
critical vendors to aid the Debtors in maintaining operation of their business.

On November 14, 2000, the Bankruptcy Court also entered an order (the "Interim
DIP Financing Order") authorizing the Debtors to enter into a $150.0 million
debtor-in-possession financing facility (the "DIP Financing Facility") with Bank
of America, N.A. as agent for a syndicate of financial institutions comprised of
certain of the Company's prepetition senior secured lenders and to grant
superpriority claims and mortgages, security interests, and liens (including
primary liens), and on substantially all of the assets of the Debtors to secure
the DIP Financing Facility. Pursuant to the Interim DIP Financing Order, the
Debtors are authorized to utilize up to $60.0 million, consisting of up to $35.0
million in postpetition loans and $25 million in postpetition letters of credit,
under the DIP Financing Facility, on an interim basis pending a final hearing to
approve the DIP Financing Facility. Such hearing is scheduled for December 6,
2000. As of the date of this report, the documentation evidencing the DIP
Financing Facility has not been executed, but the parties have agreed to the
principal terms of the arrangement and the form documentation was attached to
the Interim DIP Financing Order. The Company anticipates that the documentation
for the DIP Financing Facility will be finalized and executed prior to the
Bankruptcy Court hearing scheduled for December 6, 2000. Following the entry of
the final order approving the DIP Financing Facility by the Bankruptcy Court
(the "Final DIP Financing Order"), the remaining $90.0 million, over and above
the $60.0 million approved by the Interim DIP Financing Order of the Bankruptcy
Court, would be available to the Debtors. The DIP Financing facility is
discussed further below.

The Debtors are currently operating their businesses as debtors-in-possession
pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code.  Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, prepetition
obligations of the Debtors, including obligations under debt instruments,
generally may not be enforced against the Debtors, and any actions to collect
prepetition indebtedness are automatically stayed, unless the stay is lifted by
the Bankruptcy Court.  In addition, as debtors-in-possession, the Debtors have
the right, subject to Bankruptcy Court approval and certain other limitations,
to assume or reject executory contracts and unexpired leases.  In this context,
"assumption" means that the Debtors agree to perform their obligations and cure
all existing defaults under the contract or lease, and "rejection" means that
the Debtors are relieved from their obligations to perform further under the
contract or lease, but are subject to a claim for damages for the breach
thereof.  Any damages resulting from rejection of executory contracts and
unexpired leases will be treated as general unsecured claims in the Chapter 11
Cases unless such claims had been secured on a prepetition basis prior to the
Petition Date.  The Debtors are in the process of reviewing their executory
contracts and unexpired leases to determine which, if any, they will reject.
The Debtors cannot presently determine or reasonably estimate the ultimate
liability that may result from rejecting contracts or leases or from the filing
of claims for any rejected contracts or leases, and no provisions have yet been
made for these items.

                                       22
<PAGE>

The Bankruptcy Code provides that the Debtors have exclusive periods during
which only they may file and solicit acceptances of a plan of reorganization.
The exclusive period of the Debtors to file a plan for reorganization currently
expires on March 14, 2001; however, the Debtors can request the Bankruptcy Court
to extend the exclusive period. If the Debtors fail to file a plan of
reorganization during the exclusive period or, after such plan has been filed,
if the Debtors fail to obtain acceptance of such plan from the requisite
impaired classes of creditors and equity holders during the exclusive
solicitation period, any party in interest, including a creditor, an equity
holder, a committee of creditors or equity holders or an indenture trustee, may
file their own plan of reorganization for the Debtors.

After a plan of reorganization has been filed with the Bankruptcy Court, the
plan, along with a disclosure statement approved by the Bankruptcy Court, will
be sent to all creditors and equity holders.  Following the solicitation period,
the Bankruptcy Court will consider whether to confirm the plan.  In order to
confirm a plan of reorganization, the Bankruptcy Court, among other things, is
required to find that (i) with respect to each impaired class of creditors and
equity holders, each holder in such class has accepted the plan or will,
pursuant to the plan, receive at least as much as such holder would receive in a
liquidation, (ii) each impaired class of creditors and equity holders has
accepted the plan by the requisite vote (except as described in the following
sentence), and (iii) confirmation of the plan is not likely to be followed by a
liquidation or a need for further financial reorganization of the Debtors or any
successors to the Debtors unless the plan proposes such liquidation or
reorganization.  If any impaired class of creditors or equity holders does not
accept the plan and, assuming that all of the other requirements of the
Bankruptcy Code are met, the proponent of the plan may invoke the "cram down"
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code; under these provisions, the Bankruptcy Court
may confirm a plan notwithstanding the non-acceptance of the plan by an impaired
class of creditors or equity holders if certain requirements of the Bankruptcy
Code are met.  These requirements may, among other things, necessitate payment
in full for senior classes of creditors before payment to a junior class can be
made.  As a result of the amount of prepetition indebtedness and the
availability of the "cram down" provisions, the holders of the Company's capital
stock may receive no value for their interests under the plan of reorganization.
Because of such possibility, the value of the Company's outstanding capital
stock is highly speculative.

Since the Petition Date, the Debtors have continued to conduct business in the
ordinary course. Management is in the process of stabilizing the business of the
Debtors and evaluating their operations before beginning the development of a
plan of reorganization.

During the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors may, with Bankruptcy
Court approval, sell assets and settle liabilities, including for amounts other
than those reflected in the financial statements. The administrative and
reorganization expenses resulting from the Chapter 11 Cases will unfavorably
affect the Debtors' results of operations. Future results of operations may also
be adversely affected by other factors related to the Chapter 11 Cases.

Results of Operations
---------------------

Net Sales.  Net sales were $357.4 million for the three months ended September
---------
30, 2000, representing a decrease of $58.4 million, or 14.0%, as compared to
$415.8 million for the three months ended October 2, 1999. Sales through the
first nine months of this fiscal year were $1,044.5 million, down $102.3 million
or 8.9% from the comparable period last year. The drop in sales comes mainly
from towels and sheets, where increased competition from imports and higher
inventory levels held by certain customers softened demand for these products in
the Company's institutional and regional discount markets.

Gross Profit.  Gross profit margins for the three and nine months ended October
------------
2, 1999 were 8.6% and 12.6%, respectively. For the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2000, gross profit margins decreased to 8.2% and 10.3%,
respectively, which included a $4.9 million water-down. The decline in gross
profit margin for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 were
primarily due to lower volumes, higher unabsorbed overhead expenses and higher
cost of raw materials. Gross profit for each 1999 period was negatively affected
by a $4.9 million inventory write-down. The Company's gross profit margins
continue to experience downward pressure due to the factors described above.

Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A").  SG&A expenses (including asset
--------------------------------------------
impairments) decreased $6.4 million to $25.0 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2000, compared to $31.4 million for the three months ended October
2, 1999.  SG&A decreased $7.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal year
2000 compared to the same period of 1999.  Excluding the write-offs associated
with the Company's Opelika facility last year and a note receivable this year,
and higher professional fees associated with activities related to the Company's

                                       23
<PAGE>

financial difficulties, SG&A expenses were lower primarily because of staff
reductions since the beginning of this year.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense increased $6.4 million to $27.7 million for
----------------
the three months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $21.3 million for the
three months ended October 2, 1999.  Interest expense for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 was $81.5 million, $21.0 million higher than the comparable
period in 1999.  Contributing to this increase were bank fees related to the
restructuring of the Company's senior debt facilities, higher levels of debt and
a higher weighted average interest rate of 9.9% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, compared to 8.0% for the nine months ended October 2, 1999.
The weighted average interest rate for the three months ended September 30, 2000
was 10.1%, compared to 8.1% for the three months ended October 2, 1999.

Long-Lived Assets.  During the third quarter of 1999, the Company recorded a
-----------------
$2.0 million charge to adjust the carrying value of the Opelika facility, which
was closed in the first quarter of 1999, to estimated fair market value.

The Company's ability to fully recover the carrying amount of goodwill and other
long-lived assets through undiscounted  cash flows  assumes  that results of
operations and cash flows in future  periods  will  improve from their current
levels.  In the event that the market or general economic conditions affecting
the Company worsen or if management is unable to achieve its business
objectives, impairment of goodwill and other long-lived assets may be necessary;
these impairment charges could be material in the near term.  Additionally,
management is currently evaluating various many alternatives for restructuring
the Company's business. These alternatives include, among other things, disposal
of certain assets. In the event of a disposal of assets, a loss could result if
the cash flows generated from disposal are not sufficient to recover the
carrying amount of such assets. As of September 30, 2000, the Company had no
assets that were held for sale.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

DIP Financing Facility.  As indicated above, on November 14, 2000, the
----------------------
Bankruptcy Court entered the Interim DIP Financing Order authorizing the Debtors
to enter into the $150.0 million DIP Financing Facility and to grant mortgages,
security interests, and liens (including priming liens), and on substantially
all of the assets of the Debtors to secure the DIP Financing Facility. Pursuant
to the Interim DIP Financing Order, the Debtors are authorized to utilize up to
$60.0 million, consisting of up to $35.0 million in postpetition loans and $25.0
million in postpetition letters of credit, under the DIP Financing Facility, on
an interim basis pending a final hearing to approve the DIP Financing Facility.
Such hearing is scheduled for December 6, 2000. As of the date of this report,
the documentation evidencing the DIP Financing Facility has not been executed,
but the parties have agreed to the principal terms of the arrangement and the
form documentation was attached to the Interim DIP Financing Order. The Company
anticipates that the documentation for the DIP Financing Facility will be
finalized and executed prior to the Bankruptcy Court hearing scheduled for
December 6, 2000. Following the entry of the Final DIP Financing Order, the
remaining $90.0 million, over and above the $60.0 million approved by the
Interim Order of the Bankruptcy Court, would be available to the Debtors.

Under the terms of the DIP Financing Facility, a $150.0 million revolving credit
facility, including up to $60.0 million for post petition letters of credit,
would be available to the Company until the earliest of (a) November 14, 2001,
(b) the date on which the plan of reorganization becomes effective, (c) any
material non-compliance with any of the terms of the Interim DIP Financing Order
or the Final DIP Financing Order, (d) any event of default that shall have
occurred under the DIP Financing Facility, or (e) consummation of a sale of
substantially all of the assets of the Company pursuant to an order of the
Bankruptcy Court shall have occurred. Upon the satisfaction of certain
conditions, the November 14, 2001 maturity date could be extended for an
additional period of six months upon payment of an extension fee equal to 0.50%
of the portion of the DIP Financing Facility being extended. Amounts borrowed
under the DIP Financing Facility would bear interest at the option of the
Company at the rate of London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 3.50% or
Bank of America's Base Rate (which is the higher of Federal Funds Rate or Prime
Rate plus, in either case, 0.05%) plus 1.00%. In addition to a facility fee and
an underwriting fee of 0.50% each, there is an unused commitment fee of 0.50%, a
letter of credit fee of 3.50%, and a letter of credit fronting fee of 0.20%. The
DIP Financing Facility would be secured by a first priority priming lien on the
real and personal assets of the Company that also secure the prepetition senior
secured credit facilities and a junior lien on certain plant and equipment that
secure six industrial revenue bond facilities (the "IRB Facilities") aggregating
approximately $15.5 million and certain obligations to the Pension Benefit
Guaranty Corporation. The documentation evidencing the DIP Financing Facility
would contain financial covenants requiring maintenance of an asset coverage
ratio and a minimum operating cash flow, as well as other covenants that limit,
among other things, indebtedness, liens, sales of

                                       24
<PAGE>

assets, capital expenditures and investments, and prohibit dividend payments.
The net proceeds of certain asset sales outside the ordinary course of business
would reduce prepetition indebtedness under the senior secured credit
facilities; otherwise, the net proceeds of asset sales outside the ordinary
course of business would be applied as a permanent reduction of the DIP
Financing Facility.

There can be no assurance that the documentation evidencing the DIP Financing
Facility will be finalized and executed on the terms described above or that, if
finalized and executed on such terms, the DIP Financing Facility will be
approved by final order of the Bankruptcy Court.

Senior Debt Facilities.  In December 1997, in connection with the Fieldcrest
----------------------
Cannon acquisition, the Company entered into senior secured revolving credit and
term loan facilities with a group of financial and institutional investors for
which Bank of America, N.A. acts as the administrative and collateral agent.
These facilities consisted of a $350.0 million revolving credit facility and a
$250.0 million term loan facility. The term loan facility consisted of a $125.0
million Tranche A Term Loan and a $125.0 million Tranche B Term Loan. Effective
July 28, 1998, the Company amended these facilities by increasing the Tranche B
Term Loan to $225.0 million. The increase occurred in conjunction with the
acquisition of The Leshner Corporation, allowing the Company to fund the
transaction and reduce borrowings under the revolving credit facility. Effective
March 12, 1999, the revolving credit facility was amended to permit the Company
to use for working capital one-half of a $61.0 million portion of the facility
held as contingency reserve for cash payments required upon conversion of the
Fieldcrest Cannon 6% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2012 (the "6%
Debentures"), thereby increasing availability under that facility. Effective
October 1, 1999, the revolving credit facility was further amended to permit the
Company to use the other half of the contingency reserve for working capital,
thereby increasing availability under that facility. At the end of the third and
fourth quarters of its 1999 fiscal year, the Company was not in compliance with
certain financial covenants under its senior debt facilities. The Company
obtained a series of temporary waivers of this non-compliance. Effective as of
December 7, 1999, the Company agreed to certain amendments to the senior debt
facilities, principally related to cash management, additional collateral,
adjustments to restrictive covenants, and borrowings under, and uses of proceeds
from, the revolving credit facility. Effective as of March 31, 2000, the Company
obtained a permanent waiver of its prior non-compliance with financial covenants
and the senior debt facilities were further amended to shorten their terms to
maturity and accelerate the related amortization schedule for repayment of
principal, to eliminate reinstatement of the contingency reserve requirement
referred to above, to increase the applicable interest rate margins (subject to
reduction if the Company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization ("EBITDA") exceeds a specified level for the 2000 fiscal year), to
add a covenant requiring that EBITDA must exceed specified levels for future
fiscal periods and eliminate all other financial covenants, to modify certain
restrictive covenants, to limit borrowings under the revolving credit facility
based on a formula tied to 45% of eligible inventory plus 80% of eligible
accounts receivable, and to provide for a series of reductions in the commitment
under the revolving credit facility.

The revolving credit facility includes $55.0 million of availability for letters
of credit.  Under the revolving credit facility, at September 30, 2000, $302.5
million of loans were outstanding, $32.9 million of letters of credit were
outstanding, and $14.6 million was available for borrowings.

As amended, amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility and the
Tranche A Term Loan currently bear interest at a rate based upon LIBOR plus
3.50%.  The Tranche B Term Loan bears interest on a similar basis to the Tranche
A Term Loan, plus an additional margin of 0.50%.  The weighted average annual
interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the various senior credit
facilities through the third quarter of 2000 was 10.21%.  The senior debt
facilities expire on January 31, 2002.

The senior debt facilities are guaranteed by each of the domestic subsidiaries
of the Company, and are secured by first priority liens on all of the capital
stock of each domestic subsidiary of the Company and by 65% of the capital stock
of the Company's foreign subsidiaries.  The Company has also granted a first
priority security interest in all of its presently unencumbered and future
domestic assets and properties, and all presently unencumbered and future
domestic assets and properties of each of its subsidiaries.  The term loan
facility is subject to mandatory prepayment from all net cash proceeds of asset
sales and debt issuances of the Company (except as specifically provided), 50%
of the net cash proceeds of equity issuances by the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, and 75% of Excess Cash Flow (as defined).  All mandatory
prepayments are to be applied pro rata between the Tranche A Term Loan and the
Tranche B Term Loan to reduce the remaining installments of principal.

On September 30, 2000, and prior to the Petition Date, the Company was not in
compliance with its EBITDA financial covenant under the senior debt facilities.
The Company obtained from its senior lenders a temporary

                                       25
<PAGE>

waiver of such non-compliance through November 7, 2000, during which time the
Company engaged in active discussions with its senior lenders to obtain an
extended or permanent waiver of such non-compliance. The Company was unable to
reach such an agreement with its senior lenders and the waiver expired on
November 7, 2000. On November 8, 2000, the agent for the senior lenders
delivered a notice of default to the Company that declared an event of default
under the senior debt facilities based upon such non-compliance with its EBITDA
financial covenant. The senior lenders did, however, forbear from exercising
rights and remedies under the senior debt facilities and agreed to continue to
make available to the Company the unused credit capacity under the revolving
credit facility until December 7, 2000. In addition, on November 8, 2000, the
senior lenders issued a Payment Blockage Notice to the Company and the indenture
trustee for the Company's 10% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2006 (the "10%
Notes") prohibiting payment by the Company of the semi-annual interest payment
in the aggregate amount of approximately $6.25 million due to the holders of the
10% Notes on November 15, 2000. After a 30-day grace period, the 10% Notes would
be in default for nonpayment of interest. In addition, the Company was obligated
to make a semi-annual interest payment on its 9% Senior Subordinated Notes due
2007 (the "9% Notes") on December 15, 2000 aggregating $8.3 million, which
payment the senior lenders likewise indicated they would also block. As a result
of the circumstances confronting the Company and its inability to refinance the
senior debt facilities or obtain additional capital, the Debtors filed the
Chapter 11 Cases on November 14, 2000.

As a result of the EBITDA financial covenant default, the Company has classified
all of the senior secured debt directly affected by the default (including debt
under the overline facility described below) as current.  As of September 30,
2000, the long-term debt payable within one year was $725.1 million, of which
$637.5 million is the result of the default.

Overline Facility.  In May 1999, the Company entered into a $20.0 million senior
-----------------
unsecured revolving credit facility (overline facility) in order to obtain
additional working capital availability.  On July 27, 1999, the overline
facility was amended to increase the amount of funds available to $35.0 million.
At the end of the third and fourth quarters of its 1999 fiscal year, the Company
was not in compliance with certain financial covenants under the overline
facility, the covenants of which are incorporated by reference to the senior
debt facilities described above.  The Company obtained a series of temporary
waivers of this non-compliance and extensions of the maturity date.  Effective
as of December 7, 1999, the Company agreed to certain amendments to the overline
facility, resulting in the overline facility being secured by the assets
securing the senior debt facilities described above.  Effective as of March 31,
2000, the Company obtained a permanent waiver of its prior non-compliance and
the overline facility was amended to lengthen its term to maturity, to impose an
amortization schedule for the repayment of principal, and to increase the
applicable interest rate margins (subject to reduction if EBITDA exceeds a
specified level for the 2000 fiscal year).

The overline facility is guaranteed on a senior basis by the Company's domestic
subsidiaries.  The Company is currently required to pay interest on any amounts
borrowed under the overline facility at a rate which is based upon LIBOR plus
4.5% or the base rate plus 3.0%, at the Company's option. The overline facility
matures upon termination by the Company at any time or otherwise at the earliest
of: (i) any increase in the commitment under the senior debt facilities
described above, the issuance of any capital stock by the Company or its
domestic subsidiaries, or other specified events; or (ii) January 31, 2002.

For the reasons discussed above with respect to the default under the senior
debt facilities, the Company is also in default under the overline facility.

Senior Subordinated Debt.  In connection with the Fieldcrest Cannon merger, the
------------------------
Company issued $185.0 million of the 9% Notes, with interest payable
semiannually commencing June 15, 1998.  The Company may, at its option, redeem
the 9% Notes, in whole or in part, on or after December 15, 2002 at a redemption
price of 104.5%, which declines 1.5% annually through December 15, 2005 to 100%.
The 9% Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company, are subordinated
in right of payment to all existing and future senior indebtedness, and rank
pari passu with the 10% Notes described below.

On November 12, 1996, the Company issued $125.0 million of the 10% Notes, with
interest payable semiannually commencing May 15, 1997.  The Company may, at its
option, redeem the 10% Notes, in whole or in part, on or after November 15, 2001
at a redemption price of 105.0%, which declines 1.667% annually through November
15, 2004 to 100%.  The 10% Notes are general unsecured obligations of the
Company, are subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future senior
indebtedness, and rank pari passu with the 9% Notes.

                                       26
<PAGE>

The 9% Notes and the 10% Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior
subordinated basis by each of the existing and future domestic subsidiaries of
the Company and each other subsidiary of the Company that guarantees the
Company's obligations under the senior debt facilities described above.  The
guarantees are subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future
senior indebtedness of the relevant guarantor. Upon a change in control, the
Company will be required to make an offer to repurchase all outstanding 9% Notes
and 10% Notes at 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid
interest thereon, if any, to the date of repurchase.

As a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company is in default
under the indentures governing both the 9% Notes and the 10% Notes.

Fieldcrest Cannon Convertible Debentures. As a result of the Company's
----------------------------------------
acquisition of Fieldcrest Cannon, the outstanding 6% Debentures are convertible,
at the option of the holders, into a combination of cash and the Company's
common stock ("Common Stock").  During the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company
notified the holders of the 6% Debentures that it was not practicable or prudent
for payments to be made in respect of the conversion of the 6% Debentures and
advised holders that had given notice of conversion and surrendered their 6%
Debentures that they could rescind their notice of conversion, return to the
Company any Common Stock that had been issued to them and have their 6%
Debentures reinstated.  Although many holders did rescind and return their
Common Stock, other holders could not rescind because they had already sold
their Common Stock.  As of September 30, 2000, the cash component remaining to
be paid in respect of the 6% Debentures that had been surrendered without
subsequent rescission was approximately $5.2 million.  In addition, as of
September 30, 2000, approximately $90.4 million aggregate principal amount of
the 6% Debentures remained outstanding, including 6% Debentures that had been
surrendered without subsequent rescission.  If all such outstanding 6%
Debentures were converted at such date, including those surrendered without
subsequent rescission, the resulting cash component to be paid to the holders of
the 6% Debentures would have been approximately $57.2 million.

Prior to the Petition Date, the Company was prohibited under the terms of the
indentures governing the 9% Notes and the 10% Notes from making payments in
respect of the 6% Debentures except for interest payments and payments at
maturity or pursuant to sinking fund obligations. In an effort to address both
(i) the unpaid cash portion of the conversion consideration owing to those
holders of 6% Debentures who have surrendered their debentures for conversion
but have not been paid the cash portion of the conversion consideration (the
"Cash Claimants") and (ii) the cash payment prohibition in respect of any future
conversions, the Company initiated discussions with certain holders of the 6%
Debentures regarding a potential restructuring of the 6% Debentures.
Notwithstanding months of efforts, the parties to those discussions were unable
to agree upon a mutually satisfactory comprehensive restructuring of the 6%
Debentures and amounts owing to the Cash Claimants. In September 2000, the
Company notified the holders of the 6% Debentures of its plan for making
payments to the Cash Claimants. Pursuant to the plan, the Company agreed to pay
out as a "scheduled payment" cash in the amount of approximately $3.8 million
annually to the Cash Claimants, which is the amount of cash sufficient to
complete the conversion of $6.25 million principal amount of the 6% Debentures
annually and utilize such converted 6% Debentures as a credit to satisfy its
annual sinking fund obligation under the indenture governing the 6% Debentures.
As part of the plan and in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing
the 6% Debentures, the Company agreed to pay out cash to the Cash Claimants in
order to complete and finalize Debenture conversions and utilize such converted
Debentures as credits to satisfy its annual sinking fund obligations as follows:
(i) approximately $3.8 million on September 28, 2000, (ii) approximately $3.8
million on March 16, 2001, and (iii) the balance owing to Cash Claimants on
March 18, 2002.  These cash payments would be made by the Company to the Cash
Claimants in the order the 6% Debentures were presented for conversion, i.e., on
a first to convert, first to be paid basis.  Furthermore, the unpaid cash
portion for each Cash Claimant is evidenced by a non-interest bearing
subordinated promissory note executed by Fieldcrest Cannon (the "Cash Claimant
Notes").  Pursuant to the plan, the Company made the first scheduled payment on
September 28, 2000.  As of September 30, 2000, the aggregate principal amount of
the outstanding Cash Claimant Notes was $5.2 million.

As a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, Fieldcrest Cannon is in
default under the indenture governing the 6% Debentures and the Cash Claimant
Notes.

Industrial Revenue Bonds.  The Company has obligations in respect of six
------------------------
industrial revenue bond facilities.  The IRB Facilities are secured by liens on
specified plants and equipment.  As of September 30, 2000, $15.5 million of
bonds in the aggregate were outstanding under the IRB Facilities.

As a result of the default on the senior debt facilities and the filing of the
Chapter 11 Cases, the Company is in default of its obligations under each of the
IRB Facilities.

Swap Agreements. The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to modify
---------------
the interest characteristics of portions of its outstanding debt. These
agreements entitle the Company to receive or pay to the counterparty (a major
bank), on a quarterly basis, the amounts, if any, by which the Company's
interest payments covered by swap agreements differ from those of the
counterparty. These amounts are recorded as adjustments to interest expense. The
fair value of the swap agreements and changes in fair value as a result of
changes in market interest rates are not currently recognized in the
consolidated financial statements. As of January 1, 2000, the Company had
approximately $345.0 million of notional amounts covered under interest rate
swap agreements whereby the Company exchanged floating rates for fixed rates.
The weighted average fixed and floating rates were 4.70% and 5.96%,
respectively. As of September 30, 2000, the Company had approximately $230.0
million of notional amounts covered under interest rate swap agreements whereby
the Company exchanged floating rates for fixed rates. The weighted average fixed
and floating rates were 4.68% and 6.61%, respectively. The fair values of the
swaps at January 1, 2000 and September 30, 2000 were $4.0 million and $1.2
million, respectively, in favor of the Company. These swaps expired on October
27, 2000.

Adequacy of Capital Resources.  As discussed above, the Debtors are operating
-----------------------------
their businesses as debtors-in-possession under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
Code.  The Company anticipates that it will incur significant professional fees
and other restructuring costs in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases and the
ongoing restructuring of its business operations throughout the remainder of
fiscal year 2000 and during fiscal year 2001.  Based on current and anticipated
levels of operations, and efforts to reduce inventories and accounts receivable,
the Company anticipates that its cash flow from operations, together with
amounts available under the DIP Financing Facility, will be adequate to meet its
anticipated cash requirements during the time that the Chapter 11 Cases are
pending.  In the event that cash flows and available borrowings under the DIP
Financing Facility are not sufficient to meet future cash requirements, the
Company may be required to reduce planned capital expenditures or seek
additional financing.  The Company can provide no assurances that reductions in
planned capital expenditures would be sufficient to cover shortfalls in
available cash or that additional financing would be available or, if available,
offered on acceptable terms. The Company's long-term liquidity and the adequacy
of the Company's capital resources cannot ultimately be determined until a plan
of reorganization has been developed and confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court in
connection with the Chapter 11 Cases.

Recent Accounting Matters
-------------------------

The Company is assessing the reporting and disclosure requirements of SFAS No.
133, "Accounting For Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities".  This
statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments and hedging activities and will require the Company to recognize all
derivatives on its balance sheet at fair value.  If the derivative is a hedge,
depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the
derivatives will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged
item through earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income until the
hedged item is recognized in earnings.  The Company will adopt SFAS No. 133, as
amended in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 and is evaluating the impact
adoption will have on the Company's results of operations and financial
position.

   interest and confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court.

-  Actions may be taken by creditors or other parties in interest that may have
   the effect of preventing or unduly delaying confirmation of a plan of
   reorganization in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases.
