NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION - ------------------------------- The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the twenty-six week period ended July 2, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2005. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2005. NOTE 3 - CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - ---------------------------------- For the purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers cash on hand, deposits in banks, interest bearing demand matured funds, and all highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased as cash and cash equivalents.

Selling, general and administrative. Includes cost related to the selling process, accounting, information services, and corporate offices. NOTE 5 - USE OF ESTIMATES - ------------------------- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates are the liability for self-funded health claims, inventory markdowns, provision for bad debts, and the investment value of affiliates. NOTE 6 - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE - ----------------------------- Accounts receivable are comprised of the following: July 2 January 1 2005 2005 ---- ---- Due from factor on regular factoring account $ -0- $2,192,000 Non-factored accounts receivable 3,529,000 872,000 Allowance for doubtful accounts (21,000) -0- ---------- --------- Total $3,508,000 $3,064,000 ========== ========== During the first quarter of 2005, the Company moved its accounts receivable in-house, eliminating its factoring arrangement.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) NOTE 8 - LINE OF CREDIT - ------------------------ During the first quarter of 2005, the Company moved its accounts receivable in-house, eliminating its factoring arrangement. The company has not used its credit line in over a year. It believes a line of credit is necessary for letters of credit and for cash needs for increases in inventory and accounts receivable if sales increase. The company is in the process of securing a line of credit. NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES - --------------------- The Company uses the liability method as required by FASB Statement 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes". Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws. The items that comprise deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows: July 2 Jan. 1 2005 2005 ---- -------- Deferred tax assets: Alternative minimum taxes paid $ 349,000 $ 349,000 Net operating loss carryover 1,035,000 873,000 Charitable contributions carryover 13,000 12,000 State tax credits 41,000 41,000 Bad debts 8,000 -0- Inventory 30,000 52,000 ---------- --------- Total gross deferred tax assets $1,476,000 $1,327,000 Valuation Allowance (649,000) (301,000) ---------- ---------- Net deferred tax assets $ 827,000 $1,026,000 ---------- ---------- Deferred tax liabilities: Accelerated depreciation for tax purposes 827,000 1,026,000 ---------- ---------- Net deferred tax asset/(liability) $ -0- $ -0- =========== =========== Twenty-Six Weeks Ended ---------------------- July 3 July 2 2004 2005 (Restated) Income tax benefit ---- ---- consists of: Deferred $ -0- $(318,000) Federal -0- -0- State -0- -0- --------- ------- $ -0- $(318,000) ========= ========== The net operating loss carryforward from a prior year is $2,197,000 expiring 2022/2023. The tax effect at the maximum tax rate is $747,000. The Company has paid and has set forth $349,000 for alternative minimum taxes paid, which may only be used to offset normal income taxes that may be incurred in future years. Page 8 BURKE MILLS, INC. Item 1. NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) NOTE 10 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN - ------------------------------- The Company is a participating employer in the Burke Mills, Inc., Savings and Retirement Plan and Trust that has been qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. This plan allows eligible employees to contribute a salary reduction amount of not less than 1% nor greater than 25% of the employee's salary but not to exceed dollar limits set by law. The employer may make a discretionary contribution for each employee out of current net profits or accumulated net profits in an amount the employer may from time to time deem advisable. No provision was made for a discretionary contribution for the periods ended July 2, 2005 and July 3, 2004. NOTE 11 - CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK - --------------------------------------- Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of occasional temporary cash investments and accounts receivable. At the end of the quarter one customer represented approximately 28% of total accounts receivable. The customer represented approximately 18% at the year ended January 1, 2005. NOTE 12 - COMMITMENTS - --------------------- a) The Company and Titan Textile Company, Inc., signed an agreement which became effective April 1, 1999, whereby the Company sold its friction texturing equipment to Titan and in turn will purchase textured yarns from Titan. The agreement states that the Company will purchase 70,000 pounds per week as long as the Company has a requirement for textured yarns. When the Company's requirements exceed 140,000 pounds per week, the Company will purchase at least 50% of its requirements from Titan. The textured yarn pricing structure will be reviewed every six months and when yarn prices increase or decrease by 5% or more. b) During 1996 in connection with a bank loan to the Company secured by real estate, the Company had a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment conducted on its property. The assessment indicated the presence of a contaminant in the groundwater under the Company's property. The contaminant was a solvent used by the Company in the past but is no longer used. The contamination was reported to the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). DENR required a Comprehensive Site Assessment that has been completed. The Company's outside engineering firm conducted testing and prepared a Corrective Action Plan that was submitted to DENR. The Company has identified remediation issues and continues to move toward a solution of natural attenuation. The cost of monitoring is approximately $31,000 per year. NOTE 13 - INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATE AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS - ---------------------------------------------------------------- The company owns 49.8% of Fytek, S.A. de C.V. (Fytek), a Mexican corporation. Fytek began operation in the fourth quarter of 1997. The company accounts for the ownership using the equity method. The Company and its joint venture partner, Teijin/Akra, voted on March 26, 2004 to close their joint venture, Fytek. The joint venture operated on a scaled down basis through mid-August 2004. The company has received approximately $325,000 in cash distribution through the second quarter of 2005. An additional cash distribution up to $50,000 could be received depending on how well the remaining assets are liquidated. Burke Mills does not guarantee any debt for its joint venture. Financial information for Fytek is as follows: Page 9 BURKE MILLS, INC. Item 1.

An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of these assets and its eventual disposition are less than its carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is assessed using discounted cash flows. In 2004 the Company wrote off equipment with a net book value of $198,000. With the decrease in sales volume and no anticipated business increase in products that will run on the machinery, the machinery was written off as a non-performing asset. No salvage value has been assigned to the machinery, as the Company has no potential buyer. There were no write offs necessary in the first two quarters of 2005. Page 10 BURKE MILLS, INC. Item 1. NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) NOTE 15 - EARNINGS PER SHARE - ---------------------------- Earnings per share are based on the net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the twenty-six week periods ended July 2, 2005, and July 3, 2004. Item 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY - ----------------- The Company's major market is supplying packaged dyed yarn for home, contract, automotive upholstery, and home furnishings. The Company's production is on a make-to-order basis. The Company's customers continue to experience extreme competition from imports that has caused their requirements for dyed yarns to decline. Expansion into other fibers has helped gain new customers and offset the decline in demand from older customers. Fifty-four new customers were added in the two quarters of 2005. During 2004 there were price increases of approximately 17% on polyester yarns, and in the first quarter of 2005 another 9% increase. These increases were passed on in the prices to customers. As discussed in previous filings, the Company continues to experience increased costs for employee health cost, fuel oil, and natural gas. In the second quarter of 2005, the Company received approximately $175,000 as proceeds for liquidation of its joint venture Fytek. Results of Operations - 2005 Compared to 2004 - --------------------------------------------- The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information set forth under the Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere in the 10-Q. The following table sets forth operating data of the Company as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated below: Thirteen Weeks Twenty-six Weeks Ended Ended -------------------- ------------------- Restated Restated July 2, July 3, July 2, July 3, 2005 2004 2005 2004 ---- ---- ---- ---- Net Sales 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Cost of Sales 101.8 93.8 99.0 95.4 ----- ----- ----- ----- Gross Profit (Loss) (1.8) 6.2 1.0 4.6 Selling, General, and Administrative Costs 8.5 8.3 7.9 9.0 ----- ----- ----- ----- Operating Loss (10.3) (2.1) (6.9) (4.4) Interest Expense 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 Net Other 0.0 0.4 0.0 0.1 ----- ----- ------ ----- Loss before income taxes (10.3) (1.7) (6.9) (4.3) Equity in Net Income (Loss) of Affiliate 0.3 0.0 (0.1) (2.2) Income Taxes (Credit) 0.0 (0.4) 0.0 (2.4) ----- ----- ------ ----- Net Loss (10.0)% (1.3)% (7.0)% (4.1)% ====== ===== ====== ===== Page 11 BURKE MILLS, INC. Item 1. NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED July 2, 2005 COMPARED TO THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED July 3, 2004 Net Sales - --------- Net sales for the second quarter of 2005 decreased by 2% to $6,579,000 compared to $6,710,000 for the second quarter of 2004. Pounds shipped decreased by 2%. There were two factors that had a negative impact on sales, and one factor with a positive impact on sales. There was a decline in customer demand in the second quarter and a weak sales mix that contributed to lower sales. Price increases since the second quarter of 2004 offset the weaker sales mix. Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Margin - ----------------------------------- Cost of sales increased in the second quarter of 2005 by $403,000 or 6.4%. Cost of materials used increased by 6.4% primarily due to the price increases received on polyester yarn and a weaker sales mix. Direct labor cost increased by 1.5%, primarily due to the sales mix. Overhead cost increased by 7.7%, primarily as a result of the following: o Health claims increased by 92.1% as a result of a few employees with severe medical problems. It is impossible to predict the frequency or severity of the employees' medical needs. o Natural gas and fuel oil cost increased by 30% primarily due to increased price. This cost will fluctuate with the price of oil. o Repair and maintenance cost of machinery increased by 74.7% due to some major repairs to dye machinery and age of the machinery. The above items had an aggregate increase of $232,000 for the quarter. As a result of a decrease in sales of 2% and an increase in cost of sales of 6.4%, the company's gross margin decreased to a loss of 1.8%, compared to a margin of 6.2% in 2004. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses - -------------------------------------------- Selling, general and administrative expenses remained approximately the same with only a .3% or $2,000 increase. Although total expenses remained approximately the same, factor charges were reduced by $30,000 due to moving the accounts receivable in-house. An increase in health claims was the major item that offset the savings in factor charges. Loss Before Provision for Taxes and Equity in Loss of Affiliate - --------------------------------------------------------------- For the reasons stated in the foregoing, the company experienced a loss in the second quarter of 2005 of $679,000 compared to a loss in 2004 of $113,000. Equity in Net Loss of Affiliate - ------------------------------- The company's joint venture, Fytek, had a net loss of $176,000 on discontinued operations for the second quarter. The company's portion of the loss is $88,000. The company received $175,000 as a distribution of cash from the liquidation. The joint venture has a few remaining assets, and the company believes it could receive up to $50,000 additional cash distribution. Page 12 BURKE MILLS, INC. Item 1. NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED July 2, 2005 COMPARED TO THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED July 3, 2004 Provision (Credit) for Income Taxes - ------------------------------------- There was no provision or credit provided for income taxes in the second quarter compared to a credit of $29,000 in the second quarter of 2004. See Note 9. TWENTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED July 2, 2005 COMPARED TO TWENTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED July 3, 2004 2005 Compared to 2004 Net Sales - --------- Net sales for the first six months of 2005 increased by 3.1% to $13,717,000 compared to $13,311,000 for 2004 while pounds shipped increased by 2.2%. The increase in sales came in the first quarter and was primarily due to new customers and price increases. Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Margin - ----------------------------------- Cost of sales increased for the six months by $889,000 or 7.0%. Cost of materials increased by 7.9% primarily due to price increases on polyester yarn and a weak sales mix. Direct labor increased by 5.7% primarily due to increased volume and sales mix. Overhead cost increased by 6.4% as a result of the following: o Health claims increased by 46.7% as a result of a few employees with severe medical problems. It is impossible to predict the frequency or severity of the employees' medical needs. o Natural gas and fuel oil cost increased by 22.1% primarily due to increased prices. This cost will fluctuate with the price of oil. o Repair and maintenance cost of machinery increased by 38.1% due to some major repairs to dye machinery and age of the machinery. The above items had an aggregate increase of $293,000 for the twenty-six weeks. As a result of an increase in sales of 3.1% and an increase in cost of sales of 7.0%, the company's gross margin decreased to 1.0% compared to 4.6% in 2004. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses - -------------------------------------------- Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 1.6% or $19,000. Factor's charges were eliminated due to moving the accounts receivable in-house in the first quarter. Accounting fees connected to the company's joint venture Fytek were eliminated as a result of its closing. Offsetting the above savings were an increase in allowance for doubtful accounts and an increase in employee health claims. Gain in Disposal of Assets - -------------------------- The company sold some of its fully depreciated machinery located at its joint venture in Mexico. The remaining machines will be sold and/or abandoned. Page 13 BURKE MILLS, INC. Item 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS TWENTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED July 2, 2005 COMPARED TO TWENTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED July 3, 2004 Loss Before Provision for Income Taxes and Equity in Loss of Affiliate - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For the reasons stated in the foregoing, the company experienced a loss for the six months of 2005 of $945,000 compared to a loss in 2004 of $565,000. Equity in Net Loss of Affiliate - ------------------------------- The company's joint venture, Fytek, had a net loss of $259,000 on discontinued operations for the two quarters. The company's portion of the loss is $129,500. The company received $175,000 as a distribution of cash from the liquidation. The joint venture has a few remaining assets, and the company believes it could receive up to $50,000 additional cash distribution. Provision (Credit) for Income Taxes - ------------------------------------- There was no provision or credit provided for income taxes in the two quarters compared to a credit of $318,000 in 2004. See Note 9. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates - ------------------------------------------ The preparation of financial statements, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, requires management to make assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date and revenues and expenses recognized and incurred during the reporting period then ended. In addition, estimates affect the determination of contingent assets and liabilities and their related disclosure. The Company bases its estimates on a number of factors, including historical information and other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates in the event there are changes in related conditions or assumptions. The development and selection of the disclosed estimates have been discussed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. The following accounting policies are deemed to be critical, as they require accounting estimates to be made based upon matters that are highly uncertain at the time such estimates are made. The Company is self-funded for its employee health claims. The health claims are paid by the Company after review by the Company's third party administrator. The Company's liability for health claims includes claims that the Company estimates have been incurred, but not yet presented to the administrator. A historical basis is used to establish the amount. The Company reviews its inventory and when necessary establishes a markdown allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. The markdown allowance is determined by aging the inventory, reviewing the inventory with the salesmen, and determining a salvage value. The Company records charges for impairment of its Investment in Affiliate when necessary. The charges for impairment are based on assumptions made by management of the net realizable value of the affiliate. The Company reviews it accounts receivable and when necessary establishes an allowance for bad debts. The allowance is established based on customer payment trends, customer financial statements, industry trends, and discussion with the Company's sales personnel. Page 14 BURKE MILLS, INC. Item 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- The Company financed its operations and capital requirements in 2004 and the two quarters of 2005 through its funds generated from operations. The Company's ability to generate cash from operating activity is subject to the level of net sales. As discussed earlier, the Company has expanded into other fibers and added customers. As set forth in the Statement of Cash Flows, funds used by operating activities were $205,000. The funds used reflect the net loss and the increase in accounts receivable. Cash provided by investing activities was $76,000. The Company used $200,000 for capital expenditures versus $33,000 in the two quarters of 2004. Planned capital expenditures for the year 2005 are $300,000. The sale of Company owned machinery located at Fytek provided $100,000 and proceeds from the liquidation of Fytek provided $175,000. During the first quarter of 2005, the Company moved its accounts receivable in-house, eliminating its factoring agreement. The company believes there will be no impact on cash flow from accounts receivable caused by the move in-house. The company's staff has assisted the factor for years with the collections effort and knows the customers very well. The company will gain a savings of approximately $109,000 from the elimination of the factor charges. Although the company has not used its credit line included in the factoring agreement in over a year, the company believes that a credit line is necessary for letters of credit and for cash needs for increases in inventory and accounts receivable if sales were to increase. Although the company is trying to secure a line of credit, in light of the company's recent performance and the tightening of lending practices in the textile industry, there is no assurance that it will be able to secure a line of credit with a lender or that it would be able to secure a line of credit with reasonable terms. The Company's working capital at July 2, 2005, aggregated $3,325,000 representing a working capital ratio of 2.6 to 1 compared to a working capital at January 1, 2005 of $3,459,000 and representing a ratio of 3.1 to 1. As a measure of current liquidity, the Company's quick position (cash, cash equivalents and receivables over current liabilities) disclosed the following at July 2, 2005: Cash, cash equivalents and receivables........... $3,695,000 Current liabilities.............................. 2,093,000 --------- Excess of quick assets over current liabilities.. $1,602,000 Forward Looking Statements - -------------------------- Certain statements in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial condition and Results of Operations, and other sections of this report, contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws about the Company's financial condition and results of operations that are based on management's current expectations, beliefs, assumptions, estimates and projections about the markets in which the Company operates. Words such as "expects", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", variations of such words and other similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in, or implied by, such forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place Page 15 BURKE MILLS, INC. Item 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Forward Looking Statements (continued) - -------------------------- Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management's judgment only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligations to update publicly any of these forward- looking statements to reflect new information, future events or otherwise. Factors that may cause actual outcome and results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements include, but are not necessarily limited to, availability, sourcing and pricing of raw materials, pressures on sales prices due to competition and economic conditions, reliance on and financial viability of significant customers, technological advancements, employee relations, changes in construction spending and capital equipment expenditures (including those related to unforeseen acquisition opportunities), the timely completion of construction and expansion projects planned or in process, continued availability of financial resources through financing arrangements and operations, negotiations of new or modifications of existing contracts for asset management and for property and equipment construction and acquisition, regulations governing tax laws, other governmental and authoritative bodies, policies and legislation, and proceeds received from the sale of assets held for disposal. In addition to these representative factors, forward-looking statements could be impacted by general domestic and international economic and industry conditions in the markets where the Company competes; such as, changes in currency exchange rates, interest and inflation rates, recession and other economic and political factors over which the Company has no control. Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk - -------------------------------------------------------------------- The Company has not purchased any instruments or entered into any arrangements resulting in market risk to the Company for trading purposes or for purposes other than trading purposes. Item 4 - Controls and Procedures - --------------------------------- As of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this report, the Company's management, with the participation of the Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in SEC Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon that evaluation, the Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective. During the fiscal quarter covered by this report, there has been no significant change in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect such internal controls.
