1. Basis of Presentation

The financial information included herein is
unaudited; however, such information reflects all
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim
periods. Certain amounts for fiscal year 1995 have been
reclassified to conform with the fiscal year 1996
presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on net
income as previously reported. All such adjustments are
of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations
for the three months ended July 30, 1995 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

2. Accounts Receivable

The company factors a portion of its accounts
receivable, primarily on a nonrecourse basis. The
factoring arrangements are used solely for credit
purposes, and not for borrowing purposes.

On November 7, 1994, the company amended its loan
agreements, in order to provide a significantly lower
interest rate spread above LIBOR, an additional $8.0 million
in term debt to prepay the majority of the subordinated
note payable, which carried an interest rate of prime plus
one-half percent, and fewer financial covenants.

The company's loan agreements require, among other things, that
the company maintain certain financial ratios. At July
30, 1995, the company was in compliance with these
required covenants.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS




The following analysis of the financial condition and
results of operations should be read in conjunction with
the Financial Statements and Notes thereto included
elsewhere in this report.


Overview

For the three months ended July 31, 1995, net sales were
$72.4 million, up 9% from $66.3 million in the
year-earlier period. Net income for the quarter totaled
$1,515,000, or $0.14 per share, compared with
$1,450,000, or $0.13 per share, for the first quarter of
fiscal 1995. Of the increase of $6.1 million in sales,
$1.8 million was attributable to the contribution from
Rayonese Textile which was acquired during the fourth
quarter of fiscal 1995. (See text below.) The increase
in sales, excluding that contribution, primarily
reflected higher shipments of upholstery fabrics and
mattress ticking to U.S.-based manufacturers and
increased exports of upholstery fabrics.

The overall trend in incoming orders was slower during
the period. This pattern, which initially became
evident toward the close of fiscal 1995, appeared to
reflect caution by furniture manufacturers about the
outlook for consumer spending. The company believes this
trend is temporary and that business conditions are more
positive, as evidenced by a somewhat accelerated pace of
demand in recent weeks. Additionally, the trend of interest
rates has improved, with mortgage rates becoming more
attractive.



Rayonese Textile Inc. Acquisition

On March 6, 1995, the company completed the acquisition
of Rayonese Textile Inc. The transaction has a preliminary
estimated value of approximately $10.5 million and includes
the purchase of 100% of the Rayonese common stock and the
assumption of Rayonese's funded debt. The acquisition is
described in more detail elsewhere in this report and
in the company's filing with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on Form 8-K filed December 23, 1994.
Also see footnote 7 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.

(continued)

The table below sets forth certain items in the
Statements of Income as a percentage of net sales. Income
taxes are expressed as a percentage of income before income
taxes.

Income Taxes 35.3 37.0

Net Income 2.1% 2.2%



Liquidity and Capital Resources

The company continues to maintain a sound financial
position. Funded long- and short-term debt increased to
$79.2 million at the close of the first quarter, up from
$72.9 million at the close of fiscal 1995. As a
percentage of total capital (debt plus total shareholders'
equity), the company's debt amounted to 52.2% as of July
30, 1995, up slightly from the

I-11
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(continued)


end of fiscal 1995. The company's current ratio as of
July 30, 1995 was 2.0 compared with 1.7 as of April 30,
1995. Shareholders' equity increased to $72.6 million as
of July 30, 1995 compared with $71.4 million at the end of
fiscal 1995.

Because of seasonal factors, the company typically invests
cash on a net basis for operating activities during the
first quarter. During the first quarter of fiscal 1995,
the deficit in operating cash flow totaled $3.5 million.
Borrowings of $7.0 million under a revolving credit
agreement were used to fund operations during the first
quarter.

The company's borrowings are through financing
arrangements with two banks which provide for a term
loan of $44.0 million and a revolving credit agreement
of $33.5 million. As of July 30, 1995, the company
had $16.5 million in borrowings available under the
revolving credit agreement.

The company's Board of Directors has approved a capital
expenditure budget of $11.0 million for fiscal 1996.
Capital spending during the first quarter totaled $3.0
million. The company believes that cash flows from
operations and funds available under existing credit
facilities will be sufficient to fund capital expenditures
as well as financing needs related to operations during
the remainder of fiscal 1996.


Inflation

The company is experiencing increases in raw material costs
and the expense of other operating items. Competitive
conditions have not allowed the company to fully offset
these increases by raising prices, a condition which has led
to a slight decline in margins. Although the company
has announced plans to implement higher prices later this
fiscal year, some continuing pressure on profitability may
occur over the remainder of fiscal 1996.



Three Months Ended July 30, 1995 Compared With Three
Months Ended July 31, 1994

Sales by major Business Unit and Export and Foreign Sales
by Geographic Area for the three months are set forth in
separate schedules on pages I-8 and I-9.


I-12
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(continued)




Sales of upholstery fabrics as a whole were up $1.1 million
from a year ago. Lower sales of flat wovens were more
than offset by increased sales of velvets/prints. The
gain in sales of mattress ticking primarily reflected
higher shipments to existing accounts and $1.8 million from
Rayonese Textile, which was acquired on March 6, 1995.
Exports, consisting primarily of upholstery fabrics,
increased to $14.4 million, up 30% from $11.1 million in
the year-earlier period. The sales of Rayonese Textile
are considered as exports and added to the year-to-year
gain.

Gross profit increased both in absolute dollars and as a
percentage of net sales. The higher gross profit percentage
reflects a $150,000 credit recorded in the first quarter of
fiscal 1996 related to the successful resolution of a North
Carolina sales tax matter. The company is continuing to
experience higher prices for raw materials, a trend which
began during the second half of fiscal 1995. The company
has been able to offset most of the higher costs through
increased operating productivity as well as by raising
prices. The company has announced a 2% price increase
to become effective during the second fiscal quarter.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased
slightly as a percentage of net sales. Although the
company is continuing to emphasize cost-containment
programs, planned increases in expenses related to new
fabric designs and marketing resources led to the higher
ratio of expenses.

Net interest expense increased to $1.3 million compared
with $1.1 million in the year-earlier period. The
increase principally reflected the additional borrowings
related to the acquisition of Rayonese Textile and, to a
lesser degree, higher prevailing interest rates.

Other expense (income), net decreased in comparison to
the first quarter of fiscal 1995 due to the recording of a
$100,000 credit related to the favorable settlement of an
environmental dispute with the former owner of one of the
company's facilities.

The effective tax rate declined to 35.3% compared with
37.0%. The decrease was primarily due to a higher
percentage of income from international operations which
are taxed at a lower rate.
