     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Pillowtex
     Corporation (the "Parent") and its subsidiaries (collectively, with Parent,
     (the "Company")), include all adjustments, consisting only of normal,
     recurring adjustments and accruals, which are, in the opinion of
     management, necessary for fair presentation of the results of operations
     and financial position.  Results of operations for interim periods may not
     be indicative of future results.  The unaudited consolidated financial
     statements should be read in conjunction  with  the audited  consolidated
     financial  statements  included in the Company's annual report on
     Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
     April 3, 1998 for the fiscal year ended January 3, 1998.  The three and
     nine month periods ended October 3, 1998 include the results of Fieldcrest
     Cannon, Inc. ("Fieldcrest Cannon") which was acquired on December 19, 1997
     and the results of The Leshner Corporation ("Leshner") from its
     acquisition date of July 28, 1998.

     of towels and terry related products.  The acquisition was accounted for

(4)  Earnings Per Share

     The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators of basic
     and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine month periods ended
     October 3, 1998.  Options to purchase 466,000 shares of common stock at
     prices ranging from $33.50 to $46.50 per share were outstanding during the
     three and nine month periods ended October 3, 1998, respectively, but were
     not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the
     options' exercise price was greater than the average market price of the
     common shares.  There were no material reconciling items for the three
     and nine month periods ended September 27, 1997.

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached
unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, and with the
Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the
fiscal year ended January 3, 1998.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET SALES.  Net sales were $419.8 million for the three months ended October 3,
1998, representing an increase of $267.8 million, as compared to $152.0 million
for the three months ended September 27, 1997.  Net sales for the nine months
ended October 3, 1998 increased to $1.1 billion from $370.6 million in the
comparable prior year period, an increase of $747.6 million. These increases
were primarily due to the addition of sales from the Fieldcrest Cannon merger
(the "Merger") in December 1997 and the acquisition of Leshner in July 1998.

GROSS PROFIT.  Gross profit margins increased to 19.0% for the three months
ended October 3, 1998 from 17.5% for the three months ended September 27, 1997. 
Gross profit margins for the nine months ended October 3, 1998 increased to
18.1% from 17.5% for the nine months ended September 27, 1997.  The increase is
primarily due to lower raw material costs and significant operating improvements
including returns from capital investment programs.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE ("SG&A").  SG&A expenses increased $26.2
million to $36.3 million for the three months ended October 3, 1998, compared to
$10.1 million for the three months ended September 27, 1997.  For the nine
months ended October 3, 1998, SG&A expenses increased $68.7 million to $102.4
million from $33.7 million for the period ended September 27, 1997.  Increases
in total SG&A expenses over the prior three and nine month periods are primarily
due to the Merger and the additional SG&A costs assumed with the Leshner
acquisition.  As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses increased to 8.6% from
6.7% for the three months ended October 3, 1998 and September 27, 1997,
respectively.  SG&A as a percent of sales for this period increased from the
year-ago period due to the incurrence of costs related to the consolidation of
Leshner's administration into Pillowtex's operations, as well as increased
travel and personnel related costs.  SG&A as a percent of sales for the nine
months ended October 3, 1998 was relatively flat at 9.2% compared to 9.1% for
the nine months ended September 27, 1997. 

RESTRUCTURING CHARGE.  The $1.5 million restructuring charge for the nine month
period ended October 3, 1998 was related to severance and other employee-related
costs associated with the consolidation of blanket production into facilities in
Swannanoa, North Carolina and Westminster, South Carolina.

INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense increased $14.2 million to $19.1 million for
the three months ended October 3, 1998, compared to $4.9 million for the three
months ended September 27, 1997. Interest expense for the nine month period
ended October 3, 1998 increased $38.9 million to $52.9 million from $14.0
million for the nine month period ended September 27, 1997. These increases were
due to the additional debt incurred as a result of the Merger and the purchase
of Leshner.  Average interest rates for the three and nine month periods
remained relatively flat from the prior year periods.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company anticipates that its principal sources of liquidity will be funds
from its operations and funds available under its revolving credit facility. As
of October 3, 1998, the outstanding principal balance under the Company's $350.0
million revolving credit facility was $192.6 million, with $38.5 million
committed to outstanding letters of credit and $118.9 million available for
other needs. The debt outstanding under the revolving credit facility reflects
an increase of $77.6 million since January 3, 1998, due primarily to normal
working capital increases during the first three quarters of the year, capital
expenditures, and expenditures relating to the Merger. Based upon current and
anticipated levels of operations, the Company believes that its cash flow from
operations, together with amounts available under the revolving credit facility,
will be adequate to meet its anticipated cash requirements in the foreseeable
future.

Effective July 28, 1998, the Company amended its senior revolving credit and
term loan facilities with NationsBank, N.A. to increase the Tranche B portion
of the term loan by $100.0 million.  The proceeds received under this amendment
were used to fund the July 28, 1998 acquisition of Leshner and to pay down the
Company's revolving credit facility.  The amendment did not change the December
31, 2004 maturity date of the Tranche B term loan.

The Company periodically enters into interest rate swap agreements to minimize
the risk of fluctuations in interest rates.  As of January 3, 1998 and October
3, 1998, the Company had approximately $125.0 million and $250.0 million,
respectively, of notional amounts covered under fixed for floating rate swap
agreements at average interest rates of 9.54% and 5.56%, respectively.

On September 29, 1998, the Company paid a dividend of $.06 per share to its
common shareholders of record as of September 18, 1998.  Additionally, the
Company paid preferred dividends in the amount of $492,000 during the third
quarter of 1998.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 131, DISCLOSURES ABOUT SEGMENTS OF
AN ENTERPRISE AND RELATED INFORMATION, effective for periods beginning after
December 15, 1997.  The purpose of this standard is to disclose disaggregated
information which provides information about the operating segments an
enterprise engages in, consistent with the way management reviews financial
information to make decisions about the enterprise's operating matters.  The
Company will comply with the requirements of this standard for fiscal year 1998.

In February 1998, SFAS No. 132, EMPLOYERS' DISCLOSURES ABOUT PENSIONS AND OTHER
POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS, was issued, which revises employers' disclosures about
pension and other postretirement benefit plans.  This statement standardizes the
disclosure requirements for pensions and other postretirement benefits, requires
additional information on changes in the benefit obligations and fair values of
plan assets that will facilitate financial analysis, and eliminates certain
disclosures previously required under SFAS Nos. 87, 88 and 106.  The provisions
of SFAS No. 132 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1997.  The Company's adoption of these disclosure requirements is not expected
to materially impact the consolidated financial statements. 

In June 1998, SFAS No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING
ACTIVITIES, was issued.  This statement establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivatives instruments, including certain derivative instruments 
embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities.  The provisions of SFAS
No. 133 are effective for financial statements beginning after June 15, 1999, 


                                         -16-

although early adoption is allowed.  The Company has not determined the
financial impact of adopting this SFAS and has not determined if it will adopt
its provisions prior to its effective date.

YEAR 2000 CONSIDERATIONS

GENERAL

Many existing computer programs use only two digits to identify a year in the
date field.  These programs, if not corrected, could fail or create erroneous
results by or at the Year 2000, thereby causing disruptions in the operations of
the Company and its suppliers and customers.  This "Year 2000" issue is believed
to affect virtually all companies and organizations, including the Company.

STATE OF READINESS

SYSTEMS REPLACEMENT PROJECT

In 1995, the Company began a project aimed at improving its access to business
information through common, integrated computing and reporting systems.  In
1996, prior to the acquisition of Fieldcrest Cannon, Inc. ("Fieldcrest Cannon")
by the Company in December 1997, Fieldcrest Cannon began a similar systems
replacement project.  Each of the Company and Fieldcrest Cannon, in connection
with its systems replacement project, elected to implement systems using
software applications developed by Oracle Corporation ("Oracle") to fulfill its
business systems replacement needs.  Such software applications replace many of
the accounting, reporting and manufacturing systems that are or previously had
been in place at the Company and Fieldcrest Cannon.  Additionally, each of the
Company and Fieldcrest Cannon, in connection with its systems replacement
project, identified certain other payroll, manufacturing and warehousing systems
to be replaced with software applications from other vendors.  The Company
believes that the software applications purchased in connection with these
business replacement projects is Year 2000 compliant.

Following the acquisition of Fieldcrest Cannon, the independent systems
replacement projects of the Company and Fieldcrest Cannon were combined, and the
combined project (the "Systems Replacement Project") is proceeding on schedule
with an estimated completion date of June 1999. It is estimated that
approximately 95% of the development of the Oracle software applications are
complete, with the implementation of the financial application having been
substantially completed as of October 1998.  Certain other applications
(including payroll, manufacturing and warehousing) are expected to be phased in
over the next eight months.  The development and implementation of these other
applications are approximately 50% and 20% complete, respectively.

YEAR 2000 PLAN

In addition to the Systems Replacement Project, the Company, as part of its
Year 2000 compliance program, has developed a specific plan (the "Year
2000 Plan") to help ensure that the Company is not adversely affected by the
Year 2000 issue.  The Year 2000 Plan is divided into the following four major
components (each, a "Component"):  (1) Information Technology Systems ("IT
Systems"); (2) Information Technology Infrastructure ("IT Infrastructure"); (3)
Process Control and Instrumentation ("PC&I"); and (4) third party suppliers and
customers ("External Agents").  The Year 2000 Plan will be implemented with
respect to each Component in the following six general phases:  (1) inventory
Year 2000 items; (2) assign priorities to identified items; (3) assess the
compliance of items determined not to be Year 2000 compliant; (4) convert
or replace material items that are determined not to be Year 2000 compliant; (5)
test material items; and (6) design and implement contingency and business
continuation plans for each location.  Additionally, the Company is assessing 


                                         -17-

<PAGE>

the feasibility and utility of retaining an independent third party to review
the Company's Year 2000 readiness and make recommendations as needed during the
first or second quarter of 1999.  For purposes of the Year 2000 Plan, "material
items" are those believed by the Company to have a risk involving the safety of
individuals or that may cause damage to property or the environment or affect
revenues.

The inventory and priority assessment phases were completed with respect to each
Component of the Year 2000 Plan in May 1998.  The Year 2000 Plan is scheduled to
be fully implemented by June 1999.

IT SYSTEMS.  IT Systems are comprised primarily of applications software.  The
Company's applications software is being remediated primarily through the
Systems Replacement Project.  Applications software that is not remediated
through the Systems Replacement Project and is not Year 2000 compliant is being
converted internally through the use of custom programming or replaced by the
supplier of such software.  The Company estimates that the conversion phase with
respect to IT Systems was approximately 90% complete as of October 1998 and the
remaining conversions will be completed by June 1999.  The testing phase with
respect to converted software is ongoing.  Vendor software replacements and
upgrades are on schedule for completion by June 1999.  The testing phase with
respect to replacement software is conducted as the software is replaced and is
also scheduled to be completed by June 1999.  Contingency planning with respect
to IT Systems is underway and is scheduled to be completed in the first quarter
of 1999.

IT INFRASTRUCTURE.  IT Infrastructure consists of hardware and systems software
other than applications software.  The implementation of the Year 2000 Plan with
respect to IT Infrastructure is on schedule, and the Company estimates that
approximately 90% of the scheduled activities with respect to IT Infrastructure
had been completed as of October 1998.  The testing phase is ongoing as the IT
Infrastructure is remediated, upgraded or replaced.  Contingency planning with
respect to IT Infrastructure is scheduled to commence in the fourth quarter of
1998.  The implementation of all phases of the Year 2000 Plan with respect to IT
Infrastructure is expected to be completed by June 1999.

PC&I.  PC&I involves the hardware, software and associated embedded computer
chips that are used in the operation of the Company's facilities.  Plans
detailing the tasks and resources required to implement the Year 2000 Plan with
respect to PC&I are in place.  The Company estimates that 80% of the PC&I
vendors have responded to questionnaires indicating their equipment is Year
2000 compliant, and 20% have reported non-compliance.  The non-compliant systems
have been remediated, are undergoing remediation or are expected to have
recommendations for remediation in place by November 1998.  The implementation
of the Year 2000 Plan with respect to PC&I is on schedule, and the Company
believes that the conversion and testing of PC&I will be completed by June 1999.
Contingency plans with respect to PC&I will be based upon tests expected to be
run during the first quarter of 1999.

EXTERNAL AGENTS.  The External Agents Component of the Year 2000 Plan involves
identifying and prioritizing critical business partners at the direct interface
level and communicating with them about their plans and progress in addressing
the Year 2000 issue.  Detailed evaluations of the most critical third parties
have been initiated.  These evaluations will be followed by the development of
contingency plans, which are scheduled to be completed in the first quarter of
1999.  The Company believes the implementation of this Component of the Year
2000 Plan is on schedule as of October 1998.

COSTS TO ADDRESS THE BUSINESS SYSTEM REPLACEMENTS AND YEAR 2000

To date, the Company estimates it has spent $48.0 million of capital on the
Systems Replacement Project of which a portion relates to expenditures made
prior to the Merger.  It is estimated that an additional $16.0 million of
capital spending will be incurred in 1999 to complete the Systems Replacement
Project.  Expenses incurred to complete remediation of the Year 2000 Plan are
not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or
financial position.  The Company believes operating cash flows will be adequate
to fund any remaining expenditures related to the Systems Replacement Project
and the Year 2000 Plan and does not anticipate these needs having a material
effect on its liquidity or financial condition.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE COMPANY'S YEAR 2000 ISSUES

The Company's failure to resolve Year 2000 issues on or before December 31, 1999
could result in system failures or miscalculations causing disruption in
operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process
transactions, send invoices, send and/or receive e-mail and voice mail, or
engage in similar normal business activities.  Additionally, failure of third
parties, upon whom the Company's business relies, to timely remediate their Year
2000 issues could result in disruption of the Company's supply of materials and
parts, late, missed or unapplied payments, temporary disruptions in order
processing and other general problems related to the Company's daily operations.
While the Company believes the Year 2000 Plan will adequately address the
Company's internal Year 2000 issues, until the Company receives responses from
all significant business partners, the overall risks associated with the Year
2000 issue remain difficult to accurately assess and quantify, and there can be
no assurances that the Year 2000 issue will not have a material adverse effect
on the Company and its operations.
