Forward Looking Statements.
- --------------------------

This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning
of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. 
These statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those included in such forward
looking statements. The words "believes," "expects," "intends," "estimates"
or "anticipates" and similar expressions, as well as future or conditional
verbs such as "will," "should," "would," and "could", are intended to
identify forward-looking statements.  Specific forward looking statements
contained in this Quarterly Report include, among others, statements
regarding adequacy of the Company's liquidity and capital resources, the
anticipated impact and cost of remediating Year 2000 problems and anticipated
outcome of pending litigation.  These forward looking statements are found in
Part I, Item 2, and in Part II, Item 1.  There can be no assurance that the
assumptions made by management are correct.

The forward looking statements in this Quarterly Report are also subject to
certain risks and uncertainties including, among others, that the Company's
performance in future periods may be adversely impacted by the cyclical
nature of the textile industry, intense competition within the textile
industry, fluctuations in the price and availability of cotton and other raw
materials, the inability of the Company to make capital improvements
necessary to maintain competitiveness, possible adverse changes in
governmental regulation regarding the import of cotton and textile products,
difficulties in integrating acquired businesses and achieving cost savings,
changes in environmental regulations, deterioration of relationships with or
the loss of material customers and adverse changes in general market and
industry conditions.

Management believes that the forward looking statements in this Quarterly
Report are reasonable; however, such statements are based on current
expectations and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.  The
Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking
statements.

6.   Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     Effective January 3, 1999, the Company prospectively adopted Statement
     of Position ("SOP") No. 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer
     Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use."  SOP No. 98-1 requires
     that certain costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining
     software for internal use be capitalized and amortized over the
     estimated useful life of the software.  The effect of adopting the SOP
     was to increase net income for the quarter ended April 3, 1999 by
     $181,000.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

NET SALES

Net sales for the first quarter of 1999 were $169.5 million, an increase of
$48.6 million or 40.2% from net sales of $120.9 million for the first quarter
of 1998.

Home Fashions

Net sales of Home Fashions products for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 were
$117.4 million, up $47.8 million or 68.7% from the first quarter of fiscal
1998.  The acquisition of The Bibb Company ("Bibb") in October 1998 contri-
buted $38.9 million of this increase.  The remainder of the increase, ($8.9
million) was primarily attributable to increased sales of bed ensembles,
which were up $8.6 million for the quarter.

Apparel Fabrics

Net sales of Apparel Fabrics for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 were $40.2
million, down $11.1 million or 21.7% from the first quarter of fiscal 1998. 
The sales decrease reflected lower sales in all product categories, including
the segment's largest category, shirting products, in which sales declined
$7.6 million or 23.0% from the first quarter of fiscal 1998.

Engineered Products

Net sales of Engineered Products for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 were
$11.9 million.  The Engineered Products segment was acquired as part of the
acquisition of Bibb in October 1998.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses for the first quarter of fiscal
1999 were $17.4 million (10.2% of net sales), an increase of $3.5 million or
24.9% from $13.9 million (11.5% of net sales) for the first quarter of fiscal
1998.  Virtually all ($3.4 million) of the increase was due to incremental
expenses resulting from the acquisition of Bibb.  

OPERATING INCOME

Total operating income for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 was $9.8 million
(5.8% of net sales) compared to $12.1 million (10.0% of net sales) for the
first quarter of fiscal 1998.

Home Fashions

Operating income for the Home Fashions segment was $11.8 million for the
first quarter of fiscal 1999.  This compares to operating income of $6.2
million for the first quarter of fiscal 1998.  The acquisition of Bibb added
$3.9 million of operating income.  Excluding Bibb, operating income increased
<PAGE>
<PAGE>     12


$1.6 million, primarily due to lower raw material prices during the quarter. 
Absent the lower raw material costs, operating income would have been flat,
reflecting higher volumes offset by lower average pricing due to a
competitive pricing environment.

Apparel Fabrics

The Apparel Fabrics segment had an operating loss of $127,000 for the first
quarter of fiscal 1999.  This compares to operating income of $7.4 million
for the first quarter of fiscal 1998.  The reduction in operating income
reflects lower sales volume, a very competitive pricing environment, and
higher manufacturing costs resulting from reduced capacity utilization and
the associated under-absorption of fixed costs.  This was offset somewhat by
favorable raw material costs.

Engineered Products

The Engineered Products segment generated $0.5 million in operating income
for the first quarter of fiscal 1999.

Corporate Items (not allocated to segments)

Amortization of goodwill was $0.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal
1999 and was entirely attributable to goodwill from the acquisition of Bibb.

Other expenses totaled $1.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1999
compared to $1.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998.  These expenses
consisted primarily of depreciation on the write-up of the Company's fixed
assets from when it was acquired in 1989.

INTEREST EXPENSE 

Interest expense for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 was $7.3 million, up
$3.5 million or 92.2% from the first quarter of fiscal 1998.  The increase in
interest expense was due to higher debt levels as a result of the acquisition
of Bibb, offset somewhat by lower average interest rates.

INCOME TAX PROVISION

The income tax provision was $1.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1999
(44.3% of pre-tax income) compared to $3.2 million (37.2% of pre-tax income)
in the first quarter of fiscal 1998.  The higher effective tax rate in the
first quarter of fiscal 1999 was caused by non-deductible goodwill
amortization.  Both the first quarter of fiscal 1999 and the first quarter of
fiscal 1998 reflect small tax-free gains on insurance claims reflected under
other income.

NET INCOME AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 was $1.6 million or $0.07 per
share (diluted) in comparison with $0.28 per share (diluted) for the first
quarter of fiscal 1998.  Weighted average shares outstanding increased from
19.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 to 23.5 million for the
first quarter of fiscal 1999 as a result of shares issued in connection with
the acquisition of Bibb.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

General

The Company believes that internally generated cash flow, supplemented by
borrowings under its working capital line of credit, will be sufficient to
meet its foreseeable debt service requirements, capital expenditures, and
working capital needs.  The Company had a debt to total capital ratio of
56.3% at April 3, 1999.

Credit Facilities and Vendor Financing

The Company maintains a $150 million secured working capital line of credit. 
The working capital line of credit is secured by the Company's accounts
receivable and inventories.  As of April 3, 1999, $76.9 million was used and
$73.1 million was unused and available for borrowing.

The working capital line of credit bears interest at the Base Rate plus
applicable percentage, as defined (7.88% as of May 4, 1999) or LIBOR plus
applicable percentage (6.38% as of May 4, 1999), for periods of one, two,
three or six months, at the Company's option.  The working capital line is
non-amortizing and any amounts outstanding are due at the final maturity of
September 30, 2003.

The working capital line of credit is provided pursuant to a loan agreement
which contains certain covenants, including the maintenance of a certain
interest coverage ratio and maximum debt levels, and limitations on mergers
and consolidations, affiliated transactions, incurring liens, disposing of
assets and limitations on investments.  An event of default under the loan
agreement includes Change of Control (as defined) as well as non-compliance
with certain other provisions.
  
Working Capital

Net cash generated from operating activities was $23.1 million in the three
months ended April 3, 1999.  Included in that amount is a source of cash from
operating assets and liabilities of $9.9 million, comprised of a $11.4
million source from operating working capital (accounts receivable - $1.2
million source, inventories - $9.4 million source, and accounts payable and
accrued expenses - $0.8 million source) and a $1.4 million use of cash for
other liabilities.

During the comparable three month period ended April 4, 1998, net cash
generated from operating activities was $12.5 million.  Included in that
amount is a use of cash for operating assets and liabilities of $1.5 million,
primarily comprised of a $0.2 million use for operating working capital
(accounts receivable - $1.4 million source, inventories - $6.9 million use,
and accounts payable and accrued expenses - $5.3 million source) and a $1.4
million use of cash for prepaid expenses and other assets.

Capital Improvements

During the first three months of fiscal 1999, the Company purchased $9.7
million in equipment and manufacturing improvements.

IMPACT OF YEAR 2000  

Much attention has been given to a serious problem that exists in many
computer programs in use today, a problem that arose from the earliest days
of computing when systems had very limited memory storage capacities.  To
save space and data entry time, only the last two digits of a year were used
when performing date calculations and, consequently, these systems may not be
able to properly recognize dates beginning with the Year 2000.  The failure
of a computer system to accurately recognize the Year 2000 could result in
system failures or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations,
including, among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions,
send invoices, or engage in similar normal business activities.

Like most owners of computer software, the Company is replacing or modifying
a significant portion of its computer software to handle the Year 2000
problem.  This includes business applications and embedded systems such as
manufacturing equipment, voice and data communications and Enterprise
Resource Planning ("ERP") systems.  Through fiscal 1998, the Company had
spent approximately $7.0 million, and expects to spend approximately $10
million in fiscal 1999, in connection with modifying its computer information
systems to ensure the proper processing of transactions relating to Year 2000
and beyond.  Most of these amounts are expenditures to implement certain new
or improved systems which not only achieve Year 2000 compliance, but
significantly improve and expand operational capabilities of certain of the
Company's computer systems and, therefore, are being capitalized. Costs
associated strictly with the Company's Year 2000 remediation program
(excluding costs relating to capital improvements to systems that are not
directly related to remediating Year 2000 problems in such systems) are being
expensed as incurred.  All amounts are being funded with cash from operations
or borrowings under the Company's working capital line of credit.  There can
be no assurance that the cost of the Company's Year 2000 program will not
materially exceed expectations.

Specifically, the Company has successfully implemented SAP R.3 for corporate
financial and material management systems which are Year 2000 compliant and
are operational.  It is installing the SAP R.3 Enterprise Resource Planning
(ERP) System for its Home Fashions operations, which is expected to be
completed during the second quarter of fiscal 1999.  Required modifications
of the Apparel Fabrics ERP system (Datatex) for Year 2000 compliance were
completed in December 1998 with integrated testing planned for the second
quarter of fiscal 1999.  Also, Bibb's systems are being converted to the
Company's systems.  The corporate systems of Bibb, i.e., financial, material
management, etc., were converted to SAP R.3 during the beginning of the
second quarter of fiscal 1999, and the Home Fashions and Engineered Products
businesses are expected to be converted to SAP R.3 ERP by the end of the
third quarter of fiscal 1999.

The Company is dependent upon the successful efforts of its customers and
suppliers of goods, services and essential utilities to identify and
remediate their Year 2000 problems and could be affected by the failure of
one or more of these efforts.  The Company has communicated with most of its
major suppliers and customers.  Efforts include the collection and evaluation
of voluntary representations made or provided by those parties.  Although the
Company will continue to take reasonable care to gather information about
external parties, such information is not always provided voluntarily, is not
otherwise available, or may not be reliable.  While the Company obtains its
goods (including raw materials) and services from a number of suppliers and

sells its products to a large number of customers, if a sufficient number of
these suppliers or customers experience Year 2000 problems that prevent or
substantially impair their ability to continue to transact business with the
Company as they currently do, the Company would be required to find
alternative suppliers and/or customers for its products.  Any delay or
inability in finding such alternatives could have a material adverse effect
on the Company's results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.

Based on analysis of its own systems and discussions with and surveys of its
key vendors and customers, management currently believes that Company
information systems affected by Year 2000 issues have been or will be timely
identified and that its implementation plans will render all material systems
Year 2000 compliant on a timely basis; however, should other entities upon
whose systems the Company relies fail to properly address Year 2000
compliance issues, or should key resources required to achieve the
initiatives described herein become unavailable or prove to be unreliable,
the Company's effectiveness in achieving Year 2000 compliance could be
delayed, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results
of operations, financial condition and cash flow.  The Company has begun the
development of contingency plans and recovery procedures to deal with
potential problems ranging from inoperable systems to failure of a critical
utility or a supplier.  The Company expects to finalize these contingency
plans and procedures by July 1999.  To the extent the Company experiences
material Year 2000 problems and any such contingency plan is ineffective in
remedying such problems, such Year 2000 problems could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial condition
and cash flow.

                         PART II - OTHER INFORMATION 

Items 1.       Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, the Company is a party to litigation arising in the
ordinary course of its business.  Except as described below, the Company is
not currently a party to any litigation that management believes, if
determined adversely to the Company, would have a material adverse effect on
the Company.

Bibb is a plaintiff in a lawsuit (previously reported in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for its 1998 fiscal year) filed on June 5, 1998 in the
General Court of Justice, Superior Court Division, Halifax County, North
Carolina, styled WestPoint Stevens, Inc. ("WestPoint") and the Bibb Company
v. Panda-Rosemary Corporation and Panda Energy Corporation (collectively,
including Panda-Rosemary, L.P., "Panda"), in which Bibb and WestPoint seek,
among other things, a declaratory judgment as to the validity of an
assignment by Bibb to WestPoint of Bibb's rights under a cogeneration
agreement between Bibb and Panda in connection with the sale of Bibb's
Roanoke Rapids towel operations to WestPoint in 1997.  Panda counterclaimed
seeking, among other things, damages against WestPoint and/or Bibb based on
various theories of alleged breach of contract, tort, conspiracy and unfair
competition, all based generally on the allegation that Bibb could not
delegate its obligations under the contract without Panda's prior consent and
that Panda is, therefore, entitled to terminate the contract and/or
renegotiate the price to be paid by WestPoint for steam under the contract. 
In discovery Panda has alleged damages in excess of $40 million. On October
27, 1998, Panda-Rosemary, L.P. and Panda Energy Corporation sued WestPoint,
Bibb and Dan River (as alleged successor to Bibb), making essentially the
same allegations, in the County Court at Law No. Two, Dallas County, Texas.

WestPoint is currently purchasing steam from the cogeneration facility and
Panda is accepting WestPoint's payments of the contract price for the steam. 
The Company and WestPoint are cooperating fully in the defense of this
matter.  The Company believes that Panda's position is without merit and
intends, in cooperation with WestPoint, to vigorously defend the lawsuit. 
There can be no assurance, however, that the Company and WestPoint will
prevail or that the Company will not suffer a judgment against it in an
amount which would have a material adverse effect on its results of
operations or financial condition.  The Company's insurance carrier has taken
the position that no coverage is available with respect to this matter.
