Item 1.  Consolidated Financial Statements

         Texfi Industries, Inc. (the Company") has prepared the consolidated
financial statements included herein, without audit, pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The consolidated balance
sheet as of October 31, 1997 has been taken from the audited financial
statements as of that date. Certain information and note disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to
make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these
consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's latest Annual
Report on Form 10-K.

     The consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all
adjustments (none of which are other than normal recurring accruals) which are,
in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the
information included. Operating results for the thirteen-week period ended
January 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ended October 30, 1998. The following consolidated
financial statements are included:

         Consolidated Statements of Income for the thirteen weeks ended January
30, 1998 and January 31, 1997

         those estimates and assumptions.

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



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Net sales for the thirteen weeks ended January 30, 1998 decreased to
$41,776,000 as compared to net sales of $48,545,000 for the thirteen weeks ended
January 31, 1997. This $6,769,000 (14.0%) decrease resulted from both a decline
in the Texfi Blends division net sales of $2.6 million caused by lower demand
from fabric manufacturers and the divestiture of the Texfi knitted narrow
fabrics business which generated $4.2 million in net sales in the first quarter
of 1997.

         For the comparable thirteen-week period, cost of goods sold, as a
percentage of net sales, increased 2.4% from 85.0% in 1997 to 87.4% in 1998. The
first quarter 1998 increase was caused primarily by fixed manufacturing costs
increasing as a % of net sales as the Company operated at a reduced schedule in
order to avoid increasing inventory levels to accommodate the December holiday
season and lower January orders as compared to the prior year.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") decreased from
7.3% to 6.9% as a percentage of net sales for the thirteen weeks ended January
30, 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997. The decrease reflected
reductions in fixed marketing costs which were implemented in the third quarter
of 1997 and the divestiture of the knitted narrow fabrics business which more
than offset higher management consulting fees.

         Interest expense for the first quarter of 1998 decreased $367,000
(14.6%) as compared to the first quarter of 1997 due to a $13.3 million
reduction in total indebtedness during the twelve month period from January 31,
1997 through January 30, 1998 as well as lower borrowing rates associated with
the amended and restated credit facility.

                                       8

         The 1997 first quarter includes $164,000 equity in loss of joint
venture which represented the Company's 50% participation in Rival Sport, LLC
("Rival") entered into with NHL Enterprises to market and source a branded line
of hockey-related apparel. On December 18, 1997, the Company sold its Rival
ownership interest to an entity affiliated with certain Company executive
officers in consideration for the issuance by the buyer to the Company of a
secured $4.5 million ten-year balloon note which bears interest at 5.0% per
annum and which requires prepayments from a portion of cash distributions, if
any, that the buyer may receive from Rival.

Financial Condition:

         During 1998 and 1997, the Company's business exhibited seasonality,
primarily due to temporary plant shutdowns during the Christmas/New Year's
holiday season. As a result, sales have generally been lower in the first
quarter of the fiscal year than in subsequent quarters while cash requirements
increase due to the seasonal timing of certain cash payments.

         Working capital is comprised chiefly of inventories and accounts
receivable. At January 30, 1998, working capital equaled $21.1 million, a
decrease of $5.0 million from the year ended October 31, 1997. This decrease in
working capital is due primarily to decreases in cash ($1.1 million), accounts
receivable ($8.1 million) and inventories ($1.1 million) and an increase in
current maturities of long-term debt and subordinated debentures ($3.1 million)
which more than offset an increase in prepaid expenses ($1.4 million) and a
decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities ($7.0 million).

         During the first fiscal quarter of 1998, operating activities generated
net cash of $2.5 million. This cash was generated as a result of the $252,000
net income adjusted for depreciation and amortization of $1.4 million, together
with a decrease in accounts receivable of $8.1 million and inventories of $1.1
million which offset increases in prepaid and other assets of $1.4 million and
decreases in accounts payable and other liabilities of $7.0 million. Cash flow
from operations, $1.5 million in proceeds from the sale of property, plant and
equipment and cash on hand provided funds to invest $1.1 million in the joint
venture, repay long-term debt of $175,000, purchase property, plant and
equipment totaling $894,000, pay loan amendment costs of $342,000 and reduce the
revolving line of credit $2.6 million.

Financial Condition (continued):

         On March 15, 1996, the Company entered into a $74.0 million credit
facility consisting of a $19.0 million term loan and a revolving credit line,
which could not exceed $52.0 million. On December 19, 1997, the Company amended
and restated the credit facility. As amended, the credit facility consists of a
$10.0 million term loan payable in sixteen equal installments of $500,000
beginning in February 1998 and a $2.0 million balloon payment due May 31, 1999
and a $45.0 million revolving credit line due to expire in conjunction with the
term loan's balloon payment. The credit facility is secured by substantially all
of the Company's assets. The credit facility provides for the Company to elect
interest rates based upon either a Eurodollar or prime interest rate plus an
established margin. In addition, the Company may elect interest periods ranging
from 30 to 180 days depending upon the interest rate election. The Company is
required to comply with a Minimum EBITDA and Minimum Adjusted Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio as defined by the facility. The facility imposes restrictions on
the Company's rental expense, additional indebtedness, acquisitions, capital
expenditures, the sale or disposal of assets, and the payment of dividends or
purchase, redemption or distribution on capital stock. The Company is currently
in compliance with all of the facility's covenant requirements. As of January
30, 1998, funds available through the revolving credit line approximated $5.5
million.

         As of January 30, 1998 the Company has approximately $2.4 million of
its Series C Debentures outstanding. The annual interest rate of these
debentures may be adjusted at the sole discretion of the Company on April 1st of
each year until maturity in the year 2000. The Company set the Series C interest
rate at 13% for the period April 1, 1998 through March 31, 1999. The Series C
Debentures are redeemable on April 1st of each year, in whole or in part, at the
option of the holder or the Company for the principal amount thereof plus
accrued interest through the date of redemption. As of March 13, 1998 the last
day for debenture holders to exercise their redemption option, Series C holders
with aggregate principal totaling approximately $55,000 had delivered proper
notice to redeem their debenture(s) as of April 1, 1998.

                                       10
<PAGE>


Financial Condition (continued):

         As of January 30, 1998, the Company had outstanding approximately $34.4
million of its Senior Subordinated Debentures due August 1, 1999 ("8-3/4%
Debentures"). The 8-3/4% Debentures, which cannot be called prior to their
maturity date, are unsecured obligations. These debentures contain covenants
that place limitations on the use of proceeds from disposal of assets and on the
incurrence of additional indebtedness and senior indebtedness (as defined in the
indenture) if such indebtedness would exceed stated ratios of capitalization and
earnings after such incurrence. The debenture definition of indebtedness does
not include revolver credit line borrowings or operating lease obligations. The
Company is currently prohibited from incurring additional indebtedness.
Debenture holders waived this restriction on the incurrence of additional
indebtedness was waived by debenture holders with respect to the March 15, 1996
credit facility. As a condition to the waiver, the Company executed a Second
Supplemental Indenture dated March 15, 1996 which provided that beginning on the
last business day of September 1998 and continuing on the last business day of
each month thereafter to and including June 1999, the Company will deposit with
the trustee of these debentures $600,000 less an amount equal to 8-3/4%
Debentures repurchased during the period prior to the monthly payment date.
Total deposits, including interest earned thereon, are to be paid as principal
and interest when these debentures are due. As of January 30, 1998, $3.0 million
of deposits due are classified as a current liability.

         The Company plans to place into service $5.3 million of machinery and
equipment during 1998. As of the end of the first quarter, $894,000 had been
expended on machinery and equipment purchases. This equipment primarily will
improve dyeing and finishing capabilities as well as replace older weaving
equipment with new looms in order to improve production speed, efficiency and
product quality and expand styling diversity. Management anticipates that
substantially all of the equipment will be placed into service through operating
leases and thus not included in the Company's balance sheet.

         Management believes cash flows from operations and funds available
under the revolving credit line will provide the Company with sufficient funds
to meet its 1998 cash needs, and, assuming no significant deterioration in
current market conditions or interest rates, for the foreseeable future.
