all proceeds of the foregoing. Interest on this loan accrues and is
payable at the bank's prime rate plus one-half percent, with the rate

NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES
Effective January 3, 1993, the Company changed its method of accounting
for income taxes from the deferred method to an asset and liability
approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes as
required by FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". Under
this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on
differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and
liabilities and are measured using the enacted rates and laws. Prior to
the adoption of FASB Statement No. 109, income tax expense was determined
using the deferred method. Deferred tax expense was based on items of
income and expense that were reported in different years in the financial
statements and tax returns and were measured at the tax rate in effect in
the year the differences originated.
The items which comprise deferred tax assets and liabilities are as
follows:
Deferred Tax Deferred Tax
Assets Liabilities
------------ ------------
Accelerated depreciation $1,426,000

NOTE 8 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN
The Company is a participating employer in the Burke Mills, Inc. Savings
and Retirement Plan and Trust which is 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. The salary reduction percentage must equal
an increment of 1%. The employer may make a matching contribution for each
employee out of current net profits or accumulated net profits (as defined),
in an amount the employer may from time to time deem advisable. The
Company has made provision in the accompanying financial statements for
matching contributions of $94,176 and $222,693 for the thirty-nine weeks
ended September 30, 1995 and October 1, 1994, respectively.
NOTE 9 - CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
concentration of credit risk consist principally of occasional temporary
cash investments, matured funds on deposit with the Company's factor and
amounts due from the factor on receivables sold to the factor on a
non-recourse basis. The receivables sold to the factor during a month
generally have a maturity date on the 25th to the 30th of the following
month, at which time the amount due to the Company by the factor is
transferred to matured funds on deposit with factor. From time to time,
the Company places its temporary cash investments with its bank in
short-term certificates. The Company had no matured funds on deposit with
its factor at September 30, 1995. As of September 30, 1995, the Company
had a net amount of $4,115,211 due from its factor on its regular factoring
account which matured October 23, 1995 and was transferred to matured funds
status. The Company utilizes its matured funds on a continuous basis to
replenish its cash in bank for the payment of materials, labor and overhead.

third fiscal quarter of 1995 decreased by 29.1%. Full yarn pounds shipped

sales resulted from continued softness in demand in the home and automotive

1995 Compared to 1994
- ---------------------
Cost of Sales and Gross Margin
- ------------------------------
Cost of sales for the third quarter of 1995 decreased by $1,071,207, or
13.1%, as compared to the third quarter of 1994.
Material cost decreased by $886,526, or 17.5%, as compared to the third
quarter of 1994. The primary reason for the decrease in material cost was
a decrease in both full yarn and commission yarn pounds shipped as
discussed above.
Manufacturing labor decreased by $241,984, or 14.3%, as compared to the
third quarter of 1994. Although the Company granted an average wage
increase of 2 1/2 to 3% on January 2, 1995, the Company was reasonably
able to control its labor costs by increased labor efficiency, reduced
reworks and a better balance of production flow.
Manufacturing overhead increased by $57,303, or 4.0%, primarily as a
result of increases resulting from the introduction of significant amounts
of new machinery and equipment in the dyeing and finishing department.
Gross margin for the third fiscal quarter of 1995 aggregated $258,471
as compared to $1,322,881, for the comparable quarter of 1994, representing
a decrease of $1,064,410. This decrease resulted from the reduction in
sales volume of $2,135,617 for the 1995 third quarter period compared to
the like period of 1994, but with a reduction in cost of sales of only
$1,071,207. As a result, the gross profit percentage for the thirteen
weeks ended September 30, 1995 was 3.5% compared to 13.9% for the similar
period of 1994.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
- --------------------------------------------
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of
1995 increased by $46,915, as compared to the 1994 third quarter.
Selling, general and administrative expenses represented 6.3% of net
sales compared to 4.4% in 1994. The increase in these category of
expenses were primarily increases in salaries, fringe benefit costs,
shareholders' informational reports and professional fees.
Factor's Charges
- ----------------
Factor's charges for the third quarter of 1995 decreased by $25,807,
or 40.2%, as compared to the third quarter of 1994. The decrease resulted
from a change in the rate paid to the Company's factor effective with the
second fiscal quarter of 1995 and to the reduction in sales volume. The
ratio of factored accounts versus nonfactored accounts for the third
quarter of 1995, as compared to the similar quarter of 1994, remained
approximately the same.

1995 Compared to 1994
- ---------------------
Interest Expense
- ----------------
Interest expense for the third quarter of 1995 increased by $21,147, as
compared to 1994 primarily as a result of the Company's increase in
long-term debt. Interest expense for 1995 and 1994 resulted only from
interest on the Company's long-term debt.
Interest Income
- ---------------
Interest income for the third quarter of 1995 decreased by $882 or 5.5%,
as compared to the third quarter of 1994. The decrease was due to a
reduction in matured funds maintained with the Company's factor.
Income Before Provision for Income Taxes
- ----------------------------------------
For the thirteen week period ended September 30, 1995, the Company
recorded a loss of $284,148 before a credit for income taxes, compared
with income before provision for income taxes for the like period of 1994
of $819,733.
The decrease was primarily due to a 22.4% decrease in sales volume,
together with a decreased gross profit percentage to 3.5% in the 1995
period compared to 13.9% in the like period of 1994, and to increases in
net operating expenses.
Provision (Credit) for Income Taxes
- -----------------------------------
As a result of the loss for the 1995 third fiscal quarter, the Company
has recorded a credit for income tax provision of $111,175 for the fiscal
quarter, thus reducing the net loss to $172,973. The credit for income
taxes includes a credit for Federal and state income taxes and is
equivalent to a 39.1% effective tax rate.

Net sales for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 1995, decreased
by $1,867,433, or 6.8%, to an aggregate of $25,515,857 compared to
$27,383,290 for the like 1994 period. Total pounds shipped for the 1995
period decreased by 14.8%. Full yarn pounds shipped decreased by 3.8%,
while commission yarn (the dyeing and processing of customer owned yarns)

Cost of Sales and Gross Margin
- ------------------------------
Cost of sales for the thirty-nine weeks of 1995 decreased by $570,629,
or 2.4%, as compared to the similar period of 1994.
Material cost decreased by $544,273, or 3.8%, as compared to the like
1994 period. The primary reasons for the decrease in material cost were
a decrease in full yarn pounds shipped and to a continuation of increasing
prices for material and packaging supplies.
Manufacturing labor cost decreased by $369,035, representing a decrease
of 7.2% as compared to the like period of 1994. This decrease occurred in
spite of a wage increase of approximately 2 1/2% to 3% granted January 2,
1995, as a result of management's control of labor costs by increased labor
efficiency, reduced reworks and a better balance of production flow.
Manufacturing overhead increased by $342,679, or 8.2%, primarily as a
result of increases in payroll taxes, workmen's compensation, employee
insurance costs, repairs and maintenance and depreciation, and from the
additional costs associated with new technologies resulting from the new
machinery and equipment put into operation during the period.
Gross margin for the thirty-nine weeks period ended September 30, 1995
was $2,537,156, as compared to $3,833,960 for the similar period of 1994,
a decrease of $1,296,804, or 33.8%. The decrease was the result of a
decreased sales volume of 6.8%, with a decrease in cost of sales of only
2.4%.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
- --------------------------------------------
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the thirty-nine weeks
ended September 30, 1995 increased by $223,392 compared to the similar
period of 1994. These categories of expenses represented 5.3% of net
sales compared to 4.1% in the like period of 1994. The increases in
this category of expenses were primarily in salaries and fringe benefit
costs, shareholders' informational reports and professional fees.

Factor's charges
- ----------------
Factor's charges for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 1995
decreased by $45,792, or 25.8%, as compared to the similar period of 1994.
The decrease resulted from a change in the rate paid to Company's factor
effective with the beginning of the second fiscal quarter of 1995 and to
the reduction in sales volume.
Interest Expense
- ----------------
Interest expense for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 1995
aggregated $157,823 compared to $120,433 for the like period of 1994.
The increase in interest costs in 1995 has resulted from the increase in
long-term debt incurred for the purpose of the acquisition of new machinery
and equipment.
Interest Income
- ---------------
Interest income for the thirty-nine week period of 1995 increased by
$14,463, or 27.9%, as compared to 1994. The increase was due to a higher
average balance invested with the Company's factor for the first six months
of 1995, and to the increased prime rate as compared to the 1994 period.
Income Before Provision for Income Taxes
- ----------------------------------------
For the thirty-nine week period ended September 30, 1995, income before
provision for income taxes decreased by $1,499,643, as compared to the
similar period of 1994. The decrease was primarily due to the 6.8%
decrease in sales volume, the decrease in gross profit percentage to 9.9%
in the 1995 period compared to 14.0% in the like period of 1994 and to
increases in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Provision for Income Taxes
- --------------------------
Provision for income taxes for the nine month period ended October 1,
1994, was impacted by the 1994 reduction in the valuation allowance on
deferred tax assets provided in the prior fiscal year. The following
represents an analysis of the tax provisions for the thirty-nine weeks
ended September 30, 1995 and October 1, 1994:

============= ==========
Additional Data
- ---------------
The revenues for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 1995, and,
specifically, the third quarter revenues were impacted by unanticipated
delays encountered during the period relative to the installation and
start-up of the Company's new dyeing equipment. The resulting impact was
a loss of production of approximately 25 - 30 percent for the third
quarter. The impact of the reduced production with resulting lost
revenues, combined with non-recurring expenses associated with the
start-up of the new equipment resulted in a net loss for the 1995 third
quarter of $173 thousand, or a per share loss of $.06. Additionally, net
income for the nine months was reduced to $592 thousand, or per share
earnings of $.22, compared to $1.9 million for 1994, or per share earnings
of $.68.
The outlook for the fourth quarter remains cautiously optimistic driven
by less than anticipated recovery in several key market segments. The
current level of incoming orders and backlog have remained relatively
stable during the third quarter and the Company does not anticipate any
major changes in this trend during the remainder of 1995. However, as the
new state-of-the-art dyeing facility comes on board during the fourth
quarter, the potential for market penetration and continued growth are
more positive for 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The Company sells a substantial portion of its accounts receivable to
a commercial factor so that the factor assumes the credit risk for these
accounts and effects the collection of the receivables. The Company has
the right to borrow from the factor up to 90% of the face amount of each
account sold to the factor, but the Company did not borrow any funds from
its factor during the three year period ended December 31, 1994. During
the third quarter of 1995, the Company did receive advances from its factor
against unmatured receivables on which advances the factor charges interest.
As of September 30, 1995, the Company had a net amount of $4,115,211 due
from the factor on the regular factoring account with a maturity date in
October 1995. The Company had no matured funds at its factor as of
September 30, 1995.
The Company's working capital at July 1, 1995 aggregated $4,732,350
representing a working capital ratio of 2.3 to 1 compared with a working
capital of $5,870,156 at December 31, 1994 and a working capital ratio of
3.0 to 1.
As a measure of current liquidity, the Company's quick position
(cash, cash equivalents and receivables over current liabilities) discloses
the following at September 30, 1995.
Cash, cash equivalents and receivables.........................$4,232,041
Current liabilities............................................ 3,536,885
----------
Excess of quick assets over current liabilities................$ 695,156
The Company believes that its cash, cash equivalents and receivables plus
internally generated funds and its credit arrangements will be sufficient
to finance its operations for the next 12 months.
The Company has acquired $6,024,371 of capital property assets during
the nine month period ended September 30, 1995 and has drawn from its bank
$4,212,229 (including $148,380 drawn in 1994) against a $5,000,000 loan
commitment from its bank. The balance between acquisitions of property
assets and the $5,000,000 loan commitment is available to the Company.

Inflation
- ---------
The results of operations of the Company for the periods discussed have
not been significantly affected by inflation.
Capital Expenditures

assets acquired in 1995 to $6,175,000. The Company will have increased
its long-term debt to finance its acquisition of property assets by the
new loan of $5,000,000 as more fully discussed in Note 6 of Notes to
