NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

APRIL 1, 1995

NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule
10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do no include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for
a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three month
period ended April 1, 1995, are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ended July 1, 1995.  Certain Fiscal 1994 balances
have been reclassified to conform with the Fiscal 1995 classifications.  For
further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report for the year ended
July 2, 1994.

NOTE B -- INVENTORIES

The components of inventory consist of the following:

                                                ($000 omitted)
                                    April 1, 1995           July 2, 1994

        Work in process                    17,963                 17,497
        Finished products                  18,723                 11,059
                                    -------------           ------------
                                    $      45,215           $     36,502

Note:    Through July 2, 1994 the Company accounted for the cotton, polyester,
labor and overhead components of raw materials, work in process and finished
goods at the lower of cost, determined under the LIFO method of accounting, or
market.  Purchased cloth and yarn and certain supplies inventories were
accounted for at the lower of cost, determined under the FIFO method of
accounting, or market.  In the first quarter of 1995, the Company changed to
the LIFO method of accounting for purchased cloth and yarn.  This change will
result in better matching of revenues and expenses and will conform
substantially all manufacturing inventories to the LIFO method.  The cumulative
effect of this change is not determinable.  The effect of this change was to
decrease net income for the quarter and thirty-nine weeks by approximately
$148,000 ($.02 per share) and $443,000 ($.07 per share) respectively.  In
connection with this change, the Company conformed the manner of applying the
LIFO method for its cotton and polyester inventories to the dollar value
method.  Management believes the effect of this change was not significant.

During the quarter, the Company revised its estimate of the raw material annual
inflation rate used to calculate LIFO inventories.  This change in estimate had
the effect of increasing cost of sales by $130,000 ($.01 per share of net
income) for the quarter.  The LIFO reserve increased by $731,000 and $1,564,000
for the quarter and nine months ended April 1, 1995.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales for the third fiscal quarter ended April 1, 1995 decreased 0.7% to
$66,290,490 as compared to third quarter sales last fiscal year of $66,780,389.
For the nine months ended April 1, 1995, sales were $201,896,772, reflecting a
4.0% increase over sales of $194,058,466 for the nine months ended April 2,
1994.  The number of units sold decreased 4.9% for the most recent quarter and
increased 4.8% for the most recent nine-month period.  Third quarter fiscal
year 1995 decreases in units sold were partially offset by a 4.3% increase in
product mix average sales value per unit.  For the nine months ended April 1,
1995, product mix average sales value per unit declined 0.8%.  Higher selling
prices on Industrial Products and Home Furnishings shipments during the third
quarter fiscal year 1995 were not sufficient to offset decreased selling prices
for the first two quarters of this fiscal year.

Cost of sales for the third quarter ended April 1, 1995 were about the same as
cost of sales for third quarter last fiscal year; however, on a per unit basis,
cost of sales increased 5.1% for third quarter fiscal year 1995 as compared to
third quarter fiscal year 1994.  For the nine months ended April 1, 1995 cost
of sales on a per unit basis increased 3.4% as compared to the nine-month
period ended April 2, 1994.  Cost of sales on a per unit basis increased
primarily as a result of raw material (principally cotton) price increases of 
27.7% for the quarter and 14.3% for the nine months as compared to last fiscal 
year.  As a result of the raw material price increases, the Company changed its
estimate of raw material prices used to calculate LIFO inventories.  This 
change in estimate had the effect of increasing the LIFO reserve by $731,000 
and $1,564,000 for the quarter and nine months ended April 1, 1995.

Gross profit margin was 11.2% of sales for third quarter and 9.4% for the nine
months.  Gross profit margin for the comparable periods last year was 11.9% for
the quarter and 13.0% for the nine months.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were 7.4%
for the third quarter of this fiscal year as compared to 7.0% for the third
quarter last year.  Total selling, general and administrative expenses for the
nine-month period ended April 1, 1995, were 7.1% of sales as compared to 7.0%
of sales for the first nine months last year.

Interest expense increased $367,737 to $783,318 for the third fiscal quarter
this year compared to $415,581 for the third fiscal quarter last year.  For the
first nine months of this fiscal year as compared to the first nine months of
last fiscal year, interest expense increased $1,005,881 to $2,232,266.  This
increase in interest expense is related to the required capitalization last
year of interest costs associated with the construction of the Company's new
Lakeside comforter and accessory plant.

The provision for income taxes as a percent of taxable income decreased as a
result of the tax rate changes imposed last fiscal year by the Revenue
Reconciliation Act of 1993.  The change in tax rates, applied to current
earnings and the Company's deferred tax accounts for the first nine months of
fiscal year 1994, resulted in an effective tax rate of 40.3% of taxable income
as compared to a tax rate of 38.6% of taxable income for the first nine months
of fiscal year 1995.

Net income for the third quarter this year was $1,109,596 or $.17 per share as
compared to $1,774,781 or $.27 per share for the third quarter last year.  For
the nine months ended April 1, 1995, the Company earned $1,659,941 or $.26 per
share compared to $6,401,286 or $.98 per share for the nine months ended April
2, 1994.  Net income continues to be affected by raw material costs increasing
faster than the price for textile products and lower capacity utilization.

In December 1993, 117 countries reached an agreement under the General
Agreement on Tariffs and Trade that would cover new areas of trade, further cut
tariffs and strengthen multilateral free-trade rules by creating a World Trade
Organization as its successor.  This agreement has been ratified by the United
States Congress and is scheduled to go into effect on July 1, 1995.  As part of
this new agreement, the Multifiber Arrangement (MFA) under which textile and
apparel trade had been controlled, will be phased out along with its import
quotas over a 10-year period.  Tariffs on imported textiles will be cut by 11.6
percent over 10 years.  The Company estimates that the weighted average tariff
on imported textile products of the type sold by the Company would be reduced
by 8.8 percent over this period.  Under the agreement, quotas on the least 
sensitive import products will be phased out over the first five years and 
quotas on the most sensitive import products will not be affected until the 
later part of the ten-year period.

The WTO agreement contains some provisions which may have a favorable impact on
the textile industry.  An assembly rule of origin amendment makes it illegal
for a non-WTO member country to assemble garments from pieces cut in a member
country, and then export the garments as originating in the country where they
were cut.  Additionally, the agreement preserves the authority of the President
of the United States to control imports from non-WTO countries such as Taiwan
or China.

The Company believes that upgraded technology resulting in increased
productivity and lower costs will enable it to compete in a global market.

The Company's primary raw material is cotton.  As a commodity, cotton is traded
on established markets and periodically experiences price fluctuations.  The
Company monitors the cotton market and buys its cotton from brokers.  The
Company has not had and does not anticipate any material difficulty in
obtaining cotton.

As a result of increased world demand, higher cotton prices are expected
throughout the current fiscal year.  The Company generally attempts to pass
these increased cotton prices along to its customers in the form of price
increases for its products to the extent market conditions permit.  However,
through the third quarter, raw material prices have increased faster than the
prices received for finished products.





                                  Page 8 of 11
<PAGE>   9




In order to assure a continuous supply of cotton, the Company enters into
cotton purchase contracts for several months in advance of delivery which
either provide for (1) fixed quantities to be purchased as a pre-determined
price, or (2) fixed quantities to be purchased at a price to be determined (at
a later date).  When the Company sells its product to its customers, the cost
of cotton under existing cotton purchase contracts is taken into account in
calculating the price for the Company's product.  The Company generally
attempts to match product sales contracts with fixed price cotton purchase
contracts and uses market price cotton contracts to anticipate future needs and
subsequent product sales contracts.  Accordingly, fluctuations in the market
value of cotton do not generally affect the pricing or profitability of
existing sales contracts, but would affect subsequent sales contracts.  To the
extent prices are sometimes fixed in advance of shipment, the Company may
benefit from its investment in cotton, to the extent prices thereafter rise, or
suffer losses, to the extent prices thereafter fall.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At April 1, 1995, working capital was $70,039,557 as compared to $65,786,493 at
April 2, 1994.  The ratio of Current Assets to Current Liabilities was 4.56:1
at April 1, 1995 and 4.33:1 at April 2, 1994.

Cash provided by operating activities amounted to $15,846,917 for the most
recent nine months.  Cash provided by operating activities was the principal
source of funds for this nine-month period.

The Company's primary use of funds during the first nine months of fiscal year
1995 was $12,062,278 in purchases of property, plant and equipment.  For the
first nine months of last fiscal year, the Company invested $18,216,249 in
purchases of property, plant and equipment.  Plans are underway to invest in
additional equipment in order to increase denim production by twenty per cent
by the second quarter of next fiscal year.  To finance the expansion of the
denim production, the Company on April 5, 1995 entered into an agreement with
the Development Authority of Pike County, Georgia to issue $3,700,000 in
Tax-Exempt Adjustable Mode Industrial Development Revenue Bonds.  Interest on
these bonds will be paid quarterly beginning July 1, 1995.  The maturity date
of the bond issue is April 2005.

During the second quarter of this fiscal year, the Company revised and expanded
its revolving credit agreement which provides for unsecured borrowings up to
$24,000,000.  At April 1, 1995, an additional $5,500,000 was available under
this agreement.
