4.  Inventories:

    The Company's inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined  principally  by  the  last-in,  first-out  (LIFO)  method  with  the
remainder being determined by the first-in,  first-out (FIFO) method. Because of
recent changes in the global marketplace and the resultant  unpredictability  of
future  changes  in yarn  prices,  the  Company  has based its LIFO  reserve  at
February 27, 1999 on actual rather than projected FIFO costs. This resulted in a
reduction in the LIFO reserve of $1,095,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1999.
This  reduction  relates  principally  to a decline in the average  cost of yarn
purchased during the first quarter.

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

Results of Operations
First Quarter
Fiscal 1999 Compared to Fiscal 1998
-----------------------------------

         Net sales for the first  quarter  of fiscal  1999 were  $29,007,000  as
compared to $34,251,000 in the similar 1998 period,  a decrease of $5,244,000 or
15.3%.  The Asian financial crisis has continued to take a sustained toll on the
U.S. Textile Manufacturing Sector, as U.S. firms are forced to compete against a
flood of cheap imports and falling demand for U.S. goods overseas. These factors
have continued to exert downward  pressure on the Company's sales levels.  These
conditions have to date continued into the second quarter.
         
         Gross  margins as a  percentage  of sales  declined  from 2.7% to 0.8%.
Lower sales volume reduced  operating  schedules at  manufacturing  plants and a
less profitable mix also exerted  unfavorable  pressure on profit  margins.  The
Company is still incurring  start-up costs in connection with the second quarter
1998  acquisitions  of Lida Stretch Fabrics and SMS Textiles,  manufacturers  of
circular knit stretch  fabrics and wide elastic  fabrics,  respectively.  In the
1999 quarter,  a reduction in LIFO inventory  reserves arising  principally from
lower average FIFO cost levels benefited margins in the amount of $1,095,000.

         Selling,  shipping and  administrative  expenses in the current quarter
increased by $566,000 or 17.1%, and as a



                                      (12)

<PAGE>

percentage  of sales  increased  from  9.7% to 13.4%.  An  increase  in  selling
expenses of approximately  $650,000,  attributable primarily to the acquisitions
of LIDA Stretch  Fabrics and SMS Textiles  (acquired in the second quarter 1998)
was offset by lower incentive-based compensation and other related expenses. The
Company has instituted an expense containment program.

         Interest and dividend income decreased by $287,000 as a result of lower
average available balances.

         The Company has realized a tax benefit for the current quarter of 27.0%
compared  to an  effective  income  tax rate of 31.5%  in the  comparative  1998
period.

         As  a  result  of  these  factors,  the  Company  had  a  net  loss  of
$(1,815,000)for the current quarter compared to net income of $1,735,000 in last
year's first quarter.

         For the  current  quarter,  basic and  diluted  losses  per share  were
$(0.33)  compared to basic and diluted  earnings per share of $0.31 and $0.30 in
last years' first quarter. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

         Operating  activities  provided  cash  of  $3,557,000  and  $1,227,000,
respectively, for the 13 weeks ended February 27, 1999 and February 28, 1998. Of
this increase,  $6,302,000  relates to comparative  changes in inventories,  and
$1,648,000 in accounts  receivable,  which were offset by a $3,550,000 reduction
in net income and $2,016,000  related to changes in accounts  payable,  accruals
and other liabilities.

         Capital  expenditures for the quarter were  approximately  $1.5 million
compared to approximately $2.1 million in the 1998 period.

         During the  quarter,  the  Company  repurchased  172,125  shares of its
common stock at a cost of $3,196,000  (an average price of $18.57).  The Company
intends to continue to purchase

                                      (13)

<PAGE>

its shares of common stock from  time-to-time as market  conditions  warrant and
price criteria are met.

         The Company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.175 per share,  payable
April 23, 1999, to stockholders of record as of March 17, 1999.

         Stockholders'  equity was  $131,522,000  ($24.29 per share) at February
27,  1999,  as compared to  $137,527,000,  or ($24.63 per share) at the previous
fiscal year-end  November 27, 1998, and  $138,708,000  ($24.39 per share) at the
end of the comparative 1998 first quarter.

         Management  believes that the current financial position of the company
is more than adequate to internally  fund any future  expenditures  to maintain,
modernize and expand its manufacturing facilities, and pay dividends.

Compliance with Year 2000
-------------------------

         The Company has devoted significant resources and has taken steps in an
attempt to make the transition to the year 2000 successful and without incident.
Management  has  initiated  a Company  wide  program  to prepare  the  Company's
computer  systems,   hardware,   devices  and  other  equipment  for  year  2000
compliance.

         An inventory of hardware and software is being completed, including the
Company's centralized information system department,  distributed  technologies,
and process  control and  non-technical  components  such as checks and forms. A
primary plan for  remediation of the Company's  legacy systems is in place,  and
system and  program  changes  are being  implemented  and tested as they  become
ready.  The  Company  has  established  a  corporate  task force to monitor  the
progress  toward  the  resolution  of  identified  year 2000  issues.  All known
computer systems corrections are expected to be completed by June 30, 1999.

         The  Company  expects to incur  internal  staff  costs as well as other
expenses necessary to prepare its systems for the year 2000, including costs for
outside consultants.  The Company expects to resolve year 2000 compliance issues
primarily  through normal upgrades of its software or, when  necessary,  through
replacement of existing  software with year 2000 compliant  applications.  As of
March 1, 1999, the Company has incurred  approximately $95,000 of external costs
to address  the  Company's  year 2000  issues.  The total cost of this effort is
still being  evaluated,  but is not  expected  to be  material to the  Company's
results of operations or financial condition. However, there can be no assurance
that such  corrections can be completed on schedule or within estimated costs or
can successfully address the year 2000 compliance issues.

         The Company has provided  information  regarding the status of its year
2000  compliance  to customers who  requested.  The Company is in the process of
asking its major  customers  and  suppliers  to certify  that they are year 2000
compliant  or, if they are not yet so  compliant,  to provide the Company with a
description  of their plans to become so. If the  Company's  present  efforts to
address the year 2000  compliance  issues are not  successful,  or if customers,
suppliers  and other third parties with which the Company  conducts  business do
not  successfully  address  such  issues,  the  Company's  business,  results of
operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.
