      valuation of a substantial portion of inventories on a LIFO cost basis
      and the provision for income taxes.  These interim financial statements
      reflect applicable portions of the estimated annual amounts for such
      items.

      The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily
      indicative of operating results to be expected for the remainder of the
      year.

3.    Commitments:

      The Company enters into forward delivery contracts and futures contracts
      for raw material purchases, consistent with the size of its business, to
      reduce the Company's exposure to price volatility.  Management assesses
      these contracts on a continuous basis to determine if contract prices
      will be recovered through subsequent sales.

4.    Acquisitions and Divestiture:

      Included in other (income) expense for the second quarter of 1996 was a
      gain of $50.1 million on the sale of Fort Mill A Inc., whose sole asset
      consisted of all of the outstanding stock of Clark-Schwebel, Inc.
      (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Clark-Schwebel").  No tax
      expense was recognized on the gain.  On April 17, 1996, the Company sold
      all of the outstanding stock of Clark-Schwebel to Clark-S Acquisition
      Corporation, a Delaware Corporation.  Clark-S Acquisition Corporation
      elected to pay in cash the full purchase price of approximately $193
      million.  During the six months ended June 29, 1996, Clark-Schwebel
      contributed about 6 percent of Springs' sales of $1.1 billion.
      Clark-Schwebel had 1996 earnings before interest and taxes through the
      date of sale of $11.3 million.  During the five years ended in 1995,
      Clark-Schwebel's average contribution was 13 percent of Springs' sales
      and 9 percent of its earnings before interest and taxes.

      The Company acquired three businesses during 1995.  Effective May 27,
      1995, the Company purchased all of the outstanding stock of Dundee Mills,
      Incorporated, a leading manufacturer of towels, infant and toddler
      bedding, knitted infant apparel, and health care products.  The purchase
      price was  $119.6 million, $21.2 million of which was paid in cash and
      the remainder through the issuance of approximately 2.5 million shares of
      Springs Class A common stock with a fair value as of the acquisition date
      of $98.4 million.  Effective May 28, 1995, the Company purchased
      substantially all of the assets of Dawson Home Fashions, Inc., a leading
      manufacturer of shower curtains and bath fashions accessories.  Springs
      paid $39 million in cash for the business.  On July 28, 1995, the Company
      purchased from Apogee Enterprises, Inc., substantially all of the assets
      of its Nanik Window Coverings Group, a leading manufacturer of wood
      window blinds and interior shutters.  The acquisitions were accounted for
      using the purchase method of accounting.  The costs of the businesses
      acquired were allocated on the basis of the fair value of the assets
      acquired and liabilities assumed.  The operating results of Dundee,
      Dawson and Nanik are included in the Company's consolidated results of
      operations from the dates of acquisition.

5.    Restructuring and Realignment Costs:

      During the second quarter of 1996, the Company adopted a plan to
      consolidate and realign its fabric manufacturing operations.  In
      connection with this plan, the Company will close three fabric
      manufacturing plants while adding production in other plants.  A pretax
      charge of $30.4 million was recorded in the second quarter, which
      included $6.6 million for severance expense arising from the elimination
      of approximately 850 positions, $16.3 million for write-offs of plant and
      equipment, and $7.5 million for certain other expenses associated with
      the plan.  Over the next 24 months, Springs will also make capital
      investments of $17.3 million and incur future expenses of approximately
      $23 million for equipment relocation and other realignment costs which do
      not qualify as "exit costs."

6.    Extraordinary Charge:

      The second quarter results also included an extraordinary charge of $3.5
      million, net of an income tax benefit of $2.2 million, as a result of a
      commitment to extinguish $68.7 million of senior notes payable on July 1,
      1996.  The notes had an effective interest rate of 10 percent.





                                     - 7 -
<PAGE>   8


7.    Other:

      Also included in other (income) expense were asset write-downs totaling
      approximately $5 million.

8.    Legal and Environmental:

      As disclosed in the 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K, Springs is involved
      in certain administrative proceedings alleging violations of
      environmental laws and regulations, including proceedings under the
      Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act.
      In connection with these proceedings, the Company has accrued an amount
      which represents management's best estimate of Springs' probable
      liability.

      Springs is also involved in various other legal proceedings and claims
      incidental to its business.  Springs is defending its position in all
      such proceedings.

      In the opinion of management, based on the advice of counsel, the
      likelihood that the resolution of the above matters would have a material
      adverse impact on either the financial condition or the future results of
      operations of Springs is remote.

                 ITEM 2. - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

GENERAL

Included in other (income) expense for the second quarter of 1996 was a gain of
$50.1 million on the sale of Fort Mill A Inc., whose sole asset consisted of
all the outstanding stock of Clark-Schwebel, Inc. (hereinafter collectively
referred to as "Clark-Schwebel").  On April 17, 1996, the Company sold all of
the outstanding stock of Clark-Schwebel to Clark-S Acquisition Corporation, a
Delaware corporation.  Clark-S Acquisition Corporation elected to pay in cash
the full purchase price of approximately $193 million.  During the six months
ended June 29, 1996, Clark-Schwebel contributed about 6 percent of Springs
sales of $1.1 billion.  Clark-Schwebel had 1996 earnings before interest and
taxes through the date of sale of $11.3 million.  During the five years ended
in 1995, Clark-Schwebel's average contribution was 13 percent of Springs' sales
and 9 percent of its earnings before interest and taxes.  Also included in
other (income) expense were asset write-downs totaling approximately $5
million.

During the second quarter of 1996, the Company adopted a plan to consolidate
and realign its fabric manufacturing operations.  In connection with this plan,
the Company will close three fabric manufacturing plants while adding
production in other plants.  A pretax charge of $30.4 million was recorded in
the second quarter, which included $6.6 million for severance expense arising
from the elimination of approximately 850 positions, $16.3 million for
write-offs of plant and equipment, and $7.5 million for certain other expenses
associated with the plan.  Over the next 24 months, Springs will also make
capital investments of $17.3 million and incur future expenses of approximately
$23 million for equipment relocation and other realignment costs which do not
qualify as "exit costs."  This plan, when fully implemented, is expected to
increase the efficiency of the Company's fabric operations while adding to the
Company's ability to serve its customers and the consumer.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales

Net sales for the second quarter were $545.0 million, up two percent from sales
of $532.7 million in the second quarter of 1995.  The home furnishings segment
produced a second-quarter sales increase of 15 percent due primarily to the
Company's acquisitions during May 1995 of the stock of Dundee Mills,
Incorporated and the principal assets of Dawson Home Fashions, Inc.  In the
specialty fabrics segment, sales for the three months ending in June 1996 fell
32 percent due to the Company's sale of Clark-Schwebel on April 17, 1996.

Year-to-date net sales improved 11 percent compared to the first six months of
1995.  The Dundee and Dawson acquisitions, which occurred in the second quarter
of 1995, substantially contributed toward a six-month sales increase of 20
percent in the home furnishings segment over last year.  Year-to-date specialty
fabrics sales were 12 percent lower than the prior year.  Excluding the effects
of Clark-Schwebel and the Company's Intek office panel fabrics business, sold
in April 1996 and December 1995, respectively, year-to-date specialty fabrics
sales increased 7 percent over the first six months of 1995.  This increase was
due to stronger demand in the Company's finished fabrics markets.

Earnings

Net income for the second quarter of 1996 was $39.4 million, or $1.93 per
share, and included an after-tax gain on the sale of Clark-Schwebel of $50.1
million, or $2.45 per share, as well as a restructuring charge and other
write-offs which reduced net income by $26.6 million, or $1.30 per share.
Without these unusual items, net income for the second quarter of 1996 would
have been $15.9 million, or $.78 per share, compared to last year's $14.4
million, or $.78 per share.  Including the effect of the $30.4 million
restructuring charge, the home furnishings segment recognized an operating loss
for the quarter.  Without the restructuring charge, the home furnishings
segment achieved a moderate increase in operating earnings during the quarter.
In the specialty fabrics segment, in spite of the absence of Clark-Schwebel
for most of the quarter, the segment generated operating earnings approximately
equal to those of a year ago as the performance of its finished fabrics
businesses improved.

Earnings for the six months ended June 29, 1996, were $51.7 million, or $2.53
per share.  Excluding the aforementioned unusual items, net income for the six
months ended June 29, 1996, would have been $28.2 million, or $1.38 per share,
compared to $24.3 million, or $1.33 per share, for the six months ended July 1,
1995. The improvement came on the strength of specialty fabrics earnings as the
home furnishings segment encountered a sluggish retail market at the beginning
of the year.  The home furnishings segment's earnings were slightly lower than
the prior year due primarily to the mix of sales.  In the specialty fabrics
segment, in spite of the absence of Clark-Schwebel for most of the second
quarter of 1996, the segment generated operating earnings for the six months
ended June 29, 1996, substantially higher than in the prior year due to the
stronger demand for finished fabrics.

For the second quarter of 1996, the Company recognized a tax benefit equivalent
to 13.7 percent of pretax income, compared to 39.1 percent tax expense for the
second quarter of 1995.  Included in the Company's net income for the second
quarter of 1996 was a gain of $50.1 million on the sale of Clark-Schwebel for
which no tax expense was recognized.  The Company's effective tax rate for the
six months ended June 29, 1996, excluding the gain on the sale of
Clark-Schwebel, was approximately 38 percent.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Management expects to spend approximately $54 million on capital expenditures
during the last six months of 1996.  The Company had short-term and commercial
paper borrowings totaling approximately $92 million at December 30, 1995, which
was repaid in the second quarter using proceeds from the sale of
Clark-Schwebel.  Management expects that cash from operations and borrowings
from commercial paper and committed short-term bank lines will adequately
provide for the Company's 1996 operating cash needs.

The second-quarter results also included an extraordinary charge of $3.5
million, net of an income tax benefit of $2.2 million, as a result of a
commitment to extinguish $68.7 million of senior notes payable on July 1, 1996.
The notes had an effective interest rate of 10 percent.
