4.  Inventories:

      The Company's inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost
for a portion of the inventories is determined by the last-in, first-out (LIFO)
method, with the remainder being determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO)
method. Because of changes in the global marketplace which resulted in
unpredictability of future changes in yarn prices, the Company 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 related principally to a decline in the average
cost of yarn purchased during the first quarter. As of May 29, 1999, management
believes that yarn prices have stabilized. Accordingly, the interim LIFO
calculations as of the end of the second quarter are based on management's
estimates of projected year-end inventory levels and costs. Such projections
indicate that no further material changes are anticipated in the Company's LIFO
reserves for the remainder of the fiscal year.

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


Results of Operations
Second Quarter and Six Months
Fiscal 1999 Compared to Fiscal 1998
-----------------------------------

      Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 1999 were $37,467,000 as
compared to $39,761,000 in the similar 1998 period, a decrease of 5.8%. For the
six months ended May 29, 1999, net sales were $66,474,000, a decline of
$7,538,000, or 10.2%, from 1998. Business conditions within the textile industry
remained erratic, and the Company continued to experience competitive market
conditions, both domestic and foreign. U.S. firms are forced to compete against
a flood of cheap imports and falling demand for U.S. goods overseas. These
conditions have to date continued into the third quarter.

      Gross margins for the second quarter 1999 as a percentage of sales
declined from 16.0% to 15.1%. Lower sales volume reduced operating schedules at
manufacturing plants. Margins were aided by improved product mix, and cost
control programs. In the 1998 quarter, a reduction in LIFO reserves arising from
lower average FIFO cost levels benefited margins in the amount of $600,000. In
the current quarter, no adjustments to LIFO inventory reserves were required.
For the six months ended May 29, 1999, gross profit margins were 8.9% compared
to 14.4% in 1998. The comparative effect of changes in LIFO inventory reserves
benefited margins in the amount of $495,000.


                                      (15)
<PAGE>

      Selling, general and administrative expenses in the current quarter
remained relatively constant, despite the lower sales volume. As a percentage of
sales, such costs increased from 10.3% to 11.0% Because of lower sales volume.
For the six months ended May 29, 1999, selling general and administrative
expenses increased by $587,000, and as a percentage of sales from 10.0% From
12.0%. An increase in selling expenses is attributable primarily to the
acquisitions of Lida Stretch Fabrics and SMS Textiles acquired in the latter
part of second quarter 1998) and was partially offset by lower incentive-based
compensation and effects of the company's expense containment program.

      Interest and dividend income for the current quarter decreased by $204,000
as a result of lower average available balances.

      The effective income tax rate for the current quarter was 26.3% as against
31.5% in the comparative 1998 period. The decline was primarily attributable to
the fact that tax exempt interest represents a higher percentage of pre-tax
income than in the comparative 1998 period.

      As a result of these factors, quarterly net income decreased to
$1,982,000, from $2,334,000. As a percentage of sales, quarterly net income
decreased to 5.3% compared to 5.9% in last year's second quarter.

      For the current quarter, basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.37
compared to $0.41 last year. For the six months, basic and diluted earnings per
share were $0.03 compared to $0.72 basic and $0.71 diluted earnings per share
last year.

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

      Operating activities for the six-month period provided cash of
$3,309,000,as compared to cash used of $4,291,000 in the comparable 1998 period.
Of this increase, $10,575,000 relates to comparative changes in inventories and
$2,319,000 in accounts receivable, which was offset by a $3,902,000 reduction in
net income and $2,177,000 related to changes in accounts payable, accruals and
other liabilities.

      Capital expenditures for the six months were $2,130,000 against
$11,997,000 in the comparable 1998 period. In 1998 these capital expenditures
included assets acquired from SMS Textiles Mills, Inc. and Lida Stretch Fabrics,
Inc., manufacturers of wide elastic fabrics and circular knit stretch fabrics,
respectively.

      During the first six months of fiscal 1999, the Company repurchased
178,493 shares of its common stock at a cost of $3,292,000 (an average price of
$18.44). The Company intends to continue to purchase 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
July 23, 1999, to stockholders of record as of June 1, 1999.

      Stockholders' equity was $132,252,000 ($24.45 per share) at May 29, 1999,
as compared to $137,527,000 ($24.63 per share) at the previous fiscal year-end
November 27, 1998, and $137,472,000 ($24.49 per share) at the end of the
comparative 1998 second 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 July 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
June 1, 1999, the Company has incurred approximately $102,000 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.
