Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1:

Basis of Presentation:

         The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management,
the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all
adjustments necessary to present fairly the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of
October 4, 1997, the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months
ended September 28, 1996 and October 4, 1997, and the Consolidated Statements
of Income for the three months and nine months then ended. All dollar amounts
are rounded to thousands. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 28,
1996 has been audited, but the auditor's report is not included herein. The
disclosures accompanying these interim financial statements are condensed and
should be read in conjunction with the disclosures in the annual financial
statements.

Note 2:

Long-Term Debt:

         In October 1993, the Company completed a public offering ("the
Offering") of $125,000 in aggregate principal amount of 9 1/2% Senior
Subordinated Notes ("Notes") due October 1, 2003. The Notes are general
unsecured obligations of the Company. Interest on the Notes is payable
semiannually, and the Notes are redeemable at the option of the Company at any
time after October 1, 1998. Redemption prices commence at 104-3/4% of the
principal amount, declining annually to 100% of the principal amount in October
2000, plus accrued interest. The recorded balance of $124,415 at October 4,
1997, is presented net of $585 of unamortized bond issue discount that is being
amortized over the period to maturity. The latest information available
indicates the fair value of the Notes was $125,000 at October 4, 1997. The fair
value presented herein is not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the
Company would realize in a current market exchange.

         The Company had a credit agreement at December 30, 1995 which provided
an unsecured revolving credit facility of $92,000 due January 15, 1998, and a
credit facility from Wachovia Bank of South Carolina, which provided an
unsecured, uncommitted line of credit of $4,000. Effective March 19, 1996, the
Company replaced the unsecured revolving credit facility with a new credit
agreement. The new credit agreement provided for a revolving credit facility of
up to $80,000, including a letter of credit facility of up to $5,000.

         The Company and the lenders amended the new credit agreement in
February 1997 to reduce the borrowing limit to $65,000, to contemplate the
realignment of the Company's assets into separate operating entities, which was
completed during the second quarter of 1997, and to extend the maturity of the
new credit agreement by two years to January 2000. The borrowings under the new
credit agreement are secured by all receivables, certain inventories and
certain intangibles.

</TABLE>

         The new credit agreement requires a commitment fee of 3/8 of 1% per
annum on all unused amounts and as of October 4, 1997, the Company could have
borrowed an additional $44,400 under the facility. Interest on the revolving
credit facility is based on a floating prime rate or an eurodollar rate plus 1
1/2%. At October 4, 1997, the average interest rate on the revolving credit
facility was 7.16%. The Wachovia Bank of South Carolina facility is unsecured,
requires no commitment fee and may be terminated by the bank with 100 days
notice. Interest on the Wachovia Bank of South Carolina facility accrues at an
amount based on the daily Federal Funds rate, which was 7.53% at October 4,
1997.

         The credit agreements contain various restrictive covenants and
conditions requiring, among other things, minimum levels of net worth, certain
interest coverage ratios, prohibitions against certain borrowings and advances,
and a negative covenant limiting the Company's right to grant security
interests or other liens on its assets. In addition, the credit agreements and
the indenture pursuant to which the Notes were issued contain restrictions on
the Company's ability to pay cash dividends or purchase its capital stock.
Under the most restrictive covenant, as of October 4, 1997, the Company had the
ability to authorize $3,000 of cash dividends or capital stock purchases. At
October 4, 1997, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under all
credit agreements.

         As part of the Company's workers' compensation insurance agreements in
South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia and Virginia, the Company has obtained letters
of credit for $750, $200, $250 and $75. The letters of credit expire on
February 10, 1998, June 30, 1998, January 11, 1998 and April 10, 1998,
respectively. At October 4, 1997, no amount had been drawn against these
letters of credit.

Note 3:

Inventories:

         Inventories at December 28, 1996 and October 4, 1997 are stated at the
lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market, and include the costs of raw
materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead.

Note 4:

Property, Plant and Equipment:

         All additions to property, plant and equipment are stated at cost.
Depreciation is calculated for financial reporting purposes by the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.

Note 5:

Restructuring Charges and Other Nonrecurring Items:

         In December 1995, the Company approved a plan to pursue restructuring
initiatives in all divisions. These initiatives were completed by December
1996. In the Greige Fabrics Division, the Company closed one of its
manufacturing facilities and is disposing of idle equipment and inventories. In
the Chatham and Elastics Divisions, the Company consolidated certain operations
and is disposing of idle equipment and inventories. The Company also downsized
its corporate operations. The restructuring charges also consisted of costs for
the severance and retirement of approximately 700 associates, including the
termination of consulting contracts, insurance, vacation and related expenses.
Related to this decision, the Company reported a $12,900 charge to earnings in
1995 and has reserved for the following items:

within the meaning of applicable federal securities laws. All forward looking
statements contained in this report are intended to be subject to the safe

Results of Operations

         In the second quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company realigned two groups
within the Finished Fabrics Division into two separate operating companies,
Chatham Fabrics, LLC and Elastic Fabrics of America LLC, both Delaware limited
liability companies, which have been denominated the Chatham Fabrics Division
and the Elastics Division. The purpose of the alignment was to provide greater
management focus to these groups as separate and independent operating units.
The Company is the sole beneficial owner of the membership interests in these
limited liability companies.

Compared with Three Months Ended September 28, 1996

Sales

         Sales for the three months ended October 4, 1997 were $120.3 million,
an increase of $21.3 million or 21.5% from the corresponding period of 1996.
Sales of the Greige Fabrics Division increased $5.5 million, or 13.8%. Sales of
the Elastics Division increased $1.4 million or 5.9%, and sales of the Chatham
Fabrics Division increased $14.4 million or 41.6%.

         The increase in sales of the Greige Fabrics Division may be attributed
to stronger market conditions for printcloth fabrics used primarily in the
apparel and home furnishings markets. Average selling prices for these fabrics
during the period increased 10.4% while volume increased 6.0%.

         The sales increase for the Elastics Division included a $2.3 million
increase in wide elastic sales. The sales for the Chatham Fabrics Division
included increases in all of the division's businesses, including increases in
automotive sales of 86%, increases in consumer products sales of 24.7% and
increases in furniture fabric sales of 11.7%. Overall, the improvement in sales
may be attributed to improved market conditions and increased demand for many
of the Company's products. Additionally, the Company benefited from an
additional week of sales in the three month period ended October 4, 1997.

Earnings

         Operating income for the three month period ended October 4, 1997
increased $9.4 million from an operating loss of $0.3 million in the
corresponding period of 1996 to operating income of $9.1 million. The increase
in profitability may be primarily attributed to the Greige Fabrics Division as
higher average selling prices, increased volumes, lower raw material costs and
improved operating efficiencies all combined to significantly improve margins.
The Elastics Division reported increased earnings due to the operating
improvements at its Greensboro plant and increased sales of wide elastic
fabrics while the Chatham Fabrics Division reported improved levels of
profitability due to operating improvements at its Elkin, NC facility and the
increased level of sales.

         Interest expense for the three months ended October 4, 1997 was $3.7
million, a decrease of $0.3 million from the same period in 1996. The decrease
reflects the Company's effort to reduce its debt balances and lower interest
rates as compared to the same period a year ago.

         The income tax provision (benefit) increased approximately $3.8
million. This increase is due to a $9.7 million increase in income before
taxes. The foregoing resulted in net income increasing by $5.9 million from a
net loss of $2.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1996 to net income of
$3.6 million for the third quarter of 1997.

Nine Months Ended October 4, 1997
Compared with Nine Months Ended September 28, 1996

Sales

         Sales for the nine months ended October 4, 1997 were $317 million, an
increase of $39.9 million or 14.4%, from the corresponding period of 1996.
Sales of the Greige Fabrics Division increased $13.8 million or 11.8%, while
sales of the Elastics Division increased $3.8 million or 5.7%, and sales of the
Chatham Fabrics Division increased $22.3 million or 24.2%.

         The increase in sales of the Greige Fabrics Division may be attributed
to improved market conditions for lightweight apparel and home furnishings
fabrics. Average selling prices for these fabrics during the period increased
9.4% while volume increased 2.3%. The sales increase in the Elastics Division
may be attributed to increased sales of wide elastic fabrics. The sales
increase in the Chatham Fabrics Division included a $17.6 million increase in
automotive upholstery sales. Overall, the increase in sales may be attributed
to improved market conditions and stronger product demand for many of the
Company's products. Additionally, the Company benefited from an additional week
of sales in the nine month period ended October 4, 1997.

Earnings

         Operating income for the nine month period ended October 4, 1997
increased $21.8 million from an operating loss of $4.3 million in the first
nine months of 1996 to operating income of $17.5

                                      10

million. The increase in profitability may be primarily attributed to the
Greige Fabrics Division as higher average selling prices, increased volumes,
lower raw material costs and improved operating efficiencies combined to
significantly increase margins. The Elastics Division has experienced improved
levels of profitability due to operating improvements at its Greensboro plant
and the increased sales levels of wide elastic products. The Chatham Division
also experienced better earnings which may be attributed to both the higher
sales levels and operating improvements at its Elkin, NC facility in the second
and third quarters.

         Interest expense for the nine months ended October 4, 1997 was $11.1
million, a decrease of $0.7 million over the corresponding period in 1996. The
decrease reflects the Company's effort to reduce its debt balances as compared
to the same period a year ago.

         Other income, net, for the nine months ended October 4, 1997 was $2.9
million, an increase of $1.6 million over the corresponding period in 1996.
This increase is due to income received from certain life insurance contracts
in the first quarter and the sale of nonoperating real estate in the second
quarter.

         The provision (benefit) for income taxes increased approximately $9.3
million as a result of the income before income taxes increasing $24.2 million.
The foregoing resulted in net income for the nine months ending October 4, 1997
increasing by $15.0 million from a net loss of $9.3 million in the first nine
months of 1996 to net income of $5.7 million for the first nine months of this
year.

Financial Condition

         For the nine months ended October 4, 1997, the Company generated cash
from operations of $13.3 million and decreased its net borrowings by $0.8
million. These funds were primarily used to finance $3.4 million of capital
expenditures and reduce its payable-book overdraft by $8.1 million.

         At October 4, 1997, working capital was approximately $82.6 million as
compared to approximately $68.5 million at December 28, 1996. Management is not
aware of any present or potential impairments to the Company's liquidity.

         At October 4, 1997, long-term debt of approximately $143 million
represented 79% of total capital, compared to 82% at December 28, 1996.

         The Company believes that funds from operations and amounts available
under the loan agreements (see note 2 to consolidated financial statements) are
adequate to finance the Company's anticipated capital expenditures, in addition
to meeting working capital requirements, scheduled debt service payments and
amounts to be paid pursuant to the Company's restructuring initiatives (see
note 5 to consolidated financial statements).

                    AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT


                  This Amendment is made and entered into this ___ day of
September, 1997 as of the Amendment Date (as defined below) by and between CMI
INDUSTRIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and JOSEPH L. GORGA
(the "Executive").

                              BACKGROUND STATEMENT

                  Executive is the President and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company. The parties hereto are parties to an Amended and Restated Employment
Agreement dated as of January 1, 1996 (the "Existing Employment Agreement," and
as amended hereby, the "Employment Agreement," the terms defined therein being
used herein as therein defined unless otherwise defined herein). The Existing
Employment Agreement provides that it will expire on December 31, 1997 if either
Executive or the Company gives notice of nonrenewal on or before October 1,
1997. The parties desire to enter into this Amendment to provide for an
extension of the term of, and to otherwise modify in certain respects, the
Existing Employment Agreement.

                                    AGREEMENT

                  In consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

                  1. Amendments. The Existing Employment Agreement is hereby
amended effective as of October 1, 1997 (the "Amendment Date") as follows:

                           a.       Paragraph 3 is hereby amended to delete
         therefrom each reference to the Effective Date and to substitute in
         lieu of each such reference the phrase "Amendment Date", so that the
         Initial Period shall be for a period of two years commencing on the
         Amendment Date.

                           b.       Paragraph 4(a) is hereby amended to delete
         therefrom the reference "$325,000" and to substitute in lieu thereof
         "$395,000".

                           c.       Paragraph 4(b) is hereby amended to delete
         therefrom the second sentence thereof in its entirety and to substitute
         in lieu thereof the following:

                  "So long as the current plan is in effect and has not been
modified,

                  the maximum amount of incentive compensation that Executive
                  shall be entitled to receive, as a percentage of Base Salary,
                  shall be the greater of 75% or the maximum specified in the
                  plan."

                           d.       Paragraph 4 is hereby amended to include
         therein the following subparagraph 4(e), which shall appear immediately
         following subparagraph 4(d):

                  "(e)     Special Compensation. (i) If during the Period (or 
                  within 6 months after the expiration thereof while Executive
                  is employed by the Company) a Change of Control (as defined in
                  SUBPARAGRAPH 6(E) below) occurs, then Executive shall be
                  entitled to receive an amount equal to the applicable amount
                  shown below for the Transaction Value (as defined below) of
                  the Change of Control per share of Common Stock outstanding
                  immediately prior to the occurrence of the Change of Control:


Per Share Amount to
Shareholders of

Greater than $40 but less  $39,000 for each $1.00 of Transaction Value in excess
 than or equal to $45      of $40, plus, if the Transaction Value is not a whole
                           dollar, a proportionate amount of $39,000 to reflect 
                           the fraction of a $1.00 included in the Transaction 
                                    Value

Greater than $45 but less $195,000, plus $65,000 for each $1.00 of Transaction
 than or equal to $50      Value in excess of $45, plus, if the Transaction 
                           Value is not a whole dollar, a proportionate amount 
                           of $65,000 to reflect the fraction of a $1.00 
                           included in the Transaction Value

Greater than $50           $520,000, plus $91,000 for each $1.00 of Transaction 
                           Value in excess of $50, plus, if the Transaction 
                           Value is not a whole dollar, a proportionate amount 
                           of $91,000 to reflect the fraction of a $1.00 
                           included in the Transaction Value

                  "Transaction Value" shall mean an amount equal to the sum of
                  the aggregate fair market value of any securities issued and
                  any other non-cash consideration delivered, and any cash
                  consideration paid, to the Company or its security holders in
                  connection with the Change of Control, as reasonably
                  determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of
                  Directors at the time. The Transaction Value per share shall
                  be appropriately adjusted to account for stock dividends,
                  stock

                  splits, reverse stock splits and like changes to Common Stock.
                  Compensation shall be payable under this SUBPARAGRAPH 4(E)
                  within seven business days of the occurrence of the Change of
                  Control but, in the case of a Change of Control based upon a
                  vote of the Company's stockholders, in no event earlier than
                  the occurrence of the underlying event upon which the
                  stockholders vote.

                           (ii) In addition to the amounts provided for in
                  SUBPARAGRAPH 4(E)(I) above, the Company shall pay to Executive
                  the amount, if any, which when added to the other amounts
                  payable to Executive under this SUBPARAGRAPH 4(E), will place
                  Executive in the same after-tax position as if the excise tax
                  penalty of Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
                  as amended, or any successor statute of similar import, did
                  not apply to any of the amounts payable under this
                  SUBPARAGRAPH 4(E). Amounts payable under the immediately
                  preceding sentence shall be paid not less than 14 business
                  days prior to the date Executive must pay any portion of such
                  excise tax penalty, whether by estimated tax payment or
                  otherwise.

                           (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
                  contained herein, all compensation provided for in this
                  SUBPARAGRAPH 4(E) shall be payable regardless of whether
                  Executive's employment with the Company is terminated (for any
                  reason) in connection with or subsequent to the Change of
                  Control."

                           e.       Subparagraph 6(d) is hereby amended as
         follows:

                                    (1)      To delete the word "In" which
         appears as the first word of the first sentence thereof and to
         substitute in lieu thereof the phrase "Except as otherwise provided in
         this Subparagraph 6(d), in".

                                    (2)      To insert in clause (iii) thereof
         the phrase "SUBPARAGRAPH 4(E) and" immediately preceding the phrase
         "SUBPARAGRAPH 6(E)".

                           f.       Subparagraph 6(e)(i)(1) is hereby amended to
         include the following phrase at the end thereof: "plus any special
         compensation payable under SUBPARAGRAPH 4(E) hereof".

                           g.       Subparagraph 6(e)(i)(6) is hereby amended to
         delete such subparagraph in its entirety.

                           h.       Paragraph 11 is hereby amended to include in
         the second parenthetical

         thereof the phrase "SUBPARAGRAPH 4(E) or" immediately preceding the
         phrase "PARAGRAPH 6(E)."

                  2.       Agreement in Force. Except as amended hereby, all of
the provisions of the Existing Employment Agreement shall be and remain in full
force and effect. Upon the effectiveness hereof, each reference in the Existing
Employment Agreement to "this Agreement," "hereunder," "hereof," or words of
like import referring to the Existing Employment Agreement shall mean and be a
reference to the Employment Agreement.

                  3.       Miscellaneous. This Amendment shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. This
Amendment shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties
hereto, any successors to or assigns of the Company and Executive's heirs and
the personal representatives of Executive's estate. The Existing Employment
Agreement, as amended hereby, constitutes the entire agreement of the parties
hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior or
contemporaneous agreements or understandings to the contrary. Titles and
captions of or in this Amendment are inserted only as a matter of convenience
and for reference and in no way define, limit, extend or describe the scope of
this Amendment or the intent of any of its provisions. The Employment Agreement
may be further modified or amended only in an instrument executed by the party
against whom the modification or amendment is asserted. This Amendment may be
executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original
but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement.

                  the occurrence of the underlying event upon which the
                  stockholders vote.

                           (ii) In addition to the amounts provided for in
                  SUBPARAGRAPH 4(E)(i) above, the Company shall pay to Executive
                  the amount, if any, which when added to the other amounts
                  payable to Executive under this SUBPARAGRAPH 4(E), will place

                  excise tax penalty, whether by estimated tax payment or
                  otherwise.

                           (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
                  contained herein, all compensation provided for in this
                  SUBPARAGRAPH 4(E) shall be payable regardless of whether
                  Executive's employment with the Company is terminated (for any
                  reason) in connection with or subsequent to the Change of
                  Control."

                                             appears as the first word of the

         "Except as otherwise provided in this Subparagraph 6(d), in".

                                    (2)      To insert in clause (iii) thereof
