Through July 2, 1994 the Company accounted for the cotton, polyester, labor and
overhead components of raw materials, work in process and finished goods
inventories 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 Fiscal 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 on the second quarter and the first six months of fiscal year 1995 was
to decrease net income by approximately $172,000 ($.03 per share) and $295,000
($.05 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 the
change to the dollar value method was not significant.

THOMASTON MILLS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales for the second fiscal quarter ended December 30, 1995 declined 8.4% to
$61,385,000 as compared to sales of $67,051,000 for the second quarter last
year.  For the first six months of fiscal year 1996, sales were $129,981,000,
down 4.1% from sales of $135,606,000 for the first six months of fiscal year
1995.  A slowdown in the markets served by Thomaston Mills resulted in a
decline of 11.6% in units shipped for the second quarter and a 7.2% decline in
units shipped for the six months when compared to the comparable periods last
year.  Each of the Company's product groups, Consumer, Industrial and Apparel
experienced declines in the number of units shipped.  Increases of 3.5% in
product mix average sales value per unit for the quarter and 3.3% for the six
months only partially offset the decreases in units shipped.

Cost of goods sold increased to 93.3% of sales for second quarter and 91.7% of
sales for the first six months of fiscal year 1996 as compared to cost of goods
sold of 91.9% and 91.6% of sales for the second quarter and first six months of
fiscal year 1995, respectively.  These increases in cost of goods sold were 
primarily attributable to increased raw material prices and low capacity 
utilization of plant facilities.  During the quarter and six months ended 
December 30, 1995, the Company experienced raw material price increases of 
23.7% and 23.3% respectively.  Due to slow markets, the Company was able to 
pass only a portion of these raw material price increases on to its customers. 
In order to control inventories in a declining sales environment, the Company
reduced its capacity utilization which resulted in higher fixed costs per unit.

Decreased sales and increased cost of goods sold resulted in gross profit of
$4,141,000 or 6.7% of sales for second quarter and $10,735,000 or 8.3% of sales
for the first six months of fiscal year 1996.  For the second quarter and first
six months of fiscal year 1995, gross profit was $5,423,000 or 8.1% of sales
and $11,430,000 or 8.4% of sales respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4,918,000 or 8.0% of sales
in second quarter and $10,001,000 or 7.7% of sales in the first six months of
fiscal year 1996.  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second
quarter and first six months of fiscal year 1995 were $4,645,000 or 6.9% of
sales and $9,310,000 or 6.9% of sales respectively.  These increases in
selling, general and administrative expenses can be attributed to the
implementation of a planned strengthening of the Company's design, sales and 
marketing function.

Other income was $113,000 in second quarter and $313,000 for the first six
months of fiscal year 1996 as compared to $108,000 in second quarter and
$225,000 for the first six months of fiscal year 1995.

Interest expense increased $65,000 from $726,000 in second quarter fiscal year
1995 to $791,000 in second quarter fiscal year 1996.  For the first six months
of fiscal year 1996, interest expense was $1,566,000 as compared to $1,449,000
for the first six months last





                                Page 7 of 12

year.  This increase was primarily the result of slightly higher interest rates
and additional borrowings under the Company's revolving credit agreement.

Income tax expense decreased for the quarter and six months ended December 30,
1995 as compared to the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1994.  This
decrease is the result of the statutory tax rates being applied to the pretax
loss.

The Company lost $902,000 or $.14 per share for the second quarter and $322,000
or $.05 per share for the first six months of fiscal year 1996.  Net income for
the comparable quarter and six months last year was $98,000 or $.02 per share
and $550,000 or $.08 per share respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company continues to maintain a strong financial position.  At December 30,
1995, working capital was $70,235,000 as compared to $67,177,000 at December
31, 1994.  The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 5.24:1 at
December 30, 1995 and 5.31:1 at December 31, 1994.

Cash provided by operating activities totaling $6,487,000 was the principal
source of funds for the six months ended December 30, 1995.

The Company's primary use of funds during the first six months of fiscal year
1996 was $7,085,000 in purchases of property, plant and equipment, offset by a
$3,242,000 decrease in unexpended construction funds.  During this same six
month period, the Company made net principal payments of $1,913,000 on its
revolving lines of credit, long-term debt and capital lease obligations.

During the latter part of fiscal year 1995, the Company placed orders for
additional equipment which has increased denim production capacity by
approximately twenty per cent.  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 is paid quarterly.  The maturity date of the bond issue is April
2005.  At December 30, 1995, the Company had $326,000 in unexpended
construction funds related to this bond issue.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 1995, the Company revised and expanded
its revolving credit agreement which provides for unsecured borrowings of up to
$24,000,000.  At December 30, 1995, $3,500,000 was available under this
agreement.

The Company had capital expenditure commitments at December 30, 1995 for $4.0
million, primarily for machinery and equipment.  Management believes that cash
provided by operating activities and the revolving credit agreement will be
sufficient to finance capital requirements and operating needs of the Company
for fiscal 1996.

INVENTORIES

Inventories at December 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994 were $44,736,000 and
$39,384,000 respectively.  This increase in inventory is the result of the
general slowdown in the Company's markets and also a buildup in finished goods
to cover orders with a





                                Page 8 of 12
<PAGE>   9

January 1996 ship date.  Total inventory turns on an average annualized rate
were 5.3 times for the first six months of fiscal year 1996 and 6.3 times for
the first six months of fiscal year 1995.

Through July 2, 1994 the Company accounted for the cotton, polyester, labor and
overhead components of raw materials, work in process and finished goods
inventories 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.  Effective with the first day of fiscal year
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 on the first six months of fiscal year 1995 was to decrease net
income by approximately $295,000 ($.05 per share).  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 the change to the dollar value method was not
significant.

RAW MATERIALS

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.

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 at 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.  To the extent prices are sometimes fixed
in advance of shipment, the Company may benefit from its cotton purchase
contracts, to the extent prices thereafter rise, or incur increased cost, to
the extent prices thereafter fall.

GATT

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 (WTO) as its successor.  This agreement was ratified by the United
States Congress and went 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 textiles will be cut by an average of 11.6% over
10 years.  A weighted average tariff for products sold by Thomaston Mills, if
imported, would be cut by 8.8%.  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
latter part of the ten-year period.





                                Page 9 of 12
<PAGE>   10

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.

Although the WTO agreement may reduce the cost of certain imported textiles,
the Company believes that upgraded technology resulting in increased
productivity and lower costs will enable it to compete in a global market.

BACKLOG

The Company's order backlog at December 30, 1995 was $123.7 million which
represents an increase of 13.8% when compared to the backlog of $108.7 million
at July 1, 1995.
