NOTE 7 - LINE OF CREDIT
Pursuant to a loan agreement dated March 29, 1996, the
Company secured a line of credit facility from its bank
wherein it may borrow, repay and reborrow amounts from the
line of credit facility for short-term working capital
needs. The aggregate principal amount outstanding at any
time under this loan my not exceed the lesser of $2,000,000
and the borrowing base (as defined). Interest on this loan
facility is at a rate that varies with the Libor Rate and
is payable on the last day of each month. There were no
outstanding loans under this agreement as of June 28, 1997
or December 28, 1996.
BURKE MILLS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Continued)
NOTE 8 - LONG-TERM DEBT
On March 29, 1996, the Company entered into a new
loan agreement with its bank providing for a term loan of
$6,000,000 and, as discussed in Note 7 above, a line of
credit facility of $2,000,000 for ongoing, short-term
working capital needs. The new term loan refinanced two
formerly existing term loans, and accordingly, all term
obligations were consolidated into the one $6,000,000
obligation. This new loan is secured by (1) a first Deed
of Trust on property and buildings located at the Company's
manufacturing sites in North Carolina, (2) a first lien
position on the new equipment and machinery installed at
these manufacturing sites and (3) a first lien position on
the existing machinery and equipment located at the
Company's manufacturing sites.
Under the new term loan agreement, interest only
will be payable monthly until February, 1998. Thereafter,
principal maturities will be payable in the amount of
$62,500 per month for ninety-six consecutive months plus
interest at the fixed rate of 8.06%. In order to effect
this fixed interest rate hedge, the bank converted its
interest rate cap into a fixed rate loan by entering into a
fixed rate hedge contract with the Company. Under this
fixed rate hedge contract, the Company will pay the bank
8.06% for the term of the contract. The floating rate
(LIBOR plus 1.9%) that the Company will pay the bank will
be equal to the floating rate that the bank's capital
markets will pay to the Company. Whether LIBOR rates rise
or fall over the life of the loan agreement, the Company
will continue to pay the bank a fixed rate of 8.06% for the
life of the contract, thereby creating a fixed loan.
Among other things, covenants include a debt service
coverage ratio, a limit on annual property asset
acquisitions exclusive of property acquired with the loan
proceeds under this new loan agreement, the retirement or
acquisition of the Company's capital stock in excess of a
stated amount, the maintenance of a minimum tangible net
worth which shall increase by a stated amount annually, a
minimum quick ratio, and a maximum debt to tangible net
worth ratio.

NOTE 10 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN
The Company is a participating employer in the Burke Mills,
Inc. Savings and Retirement Plan and Trust which 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. 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. Based on the Company's
profit sharing formula, no provision was required for matching
contributions for the period ended June 28, 1997 and June 29,
1996.
NOTE 11 - CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company
to concentration of credit risk consist principally of 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 20th to the 25th of the
following month, at which time the amount due the Company by the
factor is transferred to matured funds on deposit with First
Union National Bank. Matured funds of $3,097,000 will be
transferred to First Union National Bank on July 22, 1997. The
Company utilizes its matured funds and loans due to its bank
arising from its Line of Credit facility on a continuous basis
to replenish its cash in the bank for the payment of materials,
labor, and overhead.
NOTE 12 - OTHER COMMITMENTS
(a) The Company was committed to an outstanding irrevocable
import Letter of Credit of $170,300 covering machinery
purchases of approximately $174,000. The machinery is to
have a latest shipment date of July 7, 1997, and the Letter
of Credit expires July 27, 1997. The differential between
the Letter of Credit and the purchase price is to be
covered by a single invoice issued by the vendor to the
Company.
(B) The Company entered into a supply agreement, dated
November 23, 1996, with its joint venture company, Fytek,
S.A.DE C.V. to purchase twisted yarns. The Company

THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED JUNE 28, 1997
COMPARED TO THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED JUNE 29, 1996
Net Sales
- ---------
Net sales for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 1997 (the second
fiscal quarter), were $10,442,000, representing a 1.3% increase compared
to the second quarter 1996 sales of $10,304,000. Pounds shipped
increased by 2.3% compared to the second quarter of 1996. Although
pounds shipped increased by 2.3%, sales increased by only 1.3% as a
result of sales of lower priced yarns.
Cost of Sales and Gross Margin
- ------------------------------
Cost of sales for the thirteen weeks ended June 28,1997 decreased
1.3% on a sales increase of 1.3%. The decrease in cost of sales was
primarily due to continuing improvements in the efficiency of the new
dyeing equipment. The improvements resulted in a decrease in material
usage of 2.6% for the second quarter.
BURKE MILLS, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(CONTINUED)
Cost of Sales and Gross Margin (Continued)
- ------------------------------
As a result of an increase in sales of 1.3% and a decrease in cost
of sales of 1.3%, gross profits improved by 33.6% as compared to the
second quarter of 1996.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
- --------------------------------------------
Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the second
quarter increased by $39,000 or 6.8%. The increase is primarily due to
increases in professional services, travel expenses and insurance cost.
Factor's Charges
- ----------------
Factor's charges for the second quarter decreased by $2,000 or 4.8%
as a result of a larger percentage of non-factored sales.
Interest Expense
- ----------------
Interest expense for the second quarter of 1997 was relatively
constant, as compared to 1996. Interest expense for 1997 and 1996
resulted mainly from interest on the Company's long-term debt incurred
to finance the 1995 dyeing expansion.
Interest Income
- ---------------
Interest income for the second quarter of 1997 increased by
$30,000, as compared to 1996. The increase was due to an increase in
funds invested.
Income Before Provision for Income Taxes
- ----------------------------------------
For the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 1997, income before provision
for income taxes increased by $255,000, as compared to the similar
period of 1996, primarily as a result of the 1997 increase in sales
revenue with a reduced cost of sales.
Provision for Income Taxes
- --------------------------
For the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 1997, and June 29, 1996, the
Company made provision for income taxes of $116,000 and $17,000,
respectively, based on pre-tax income for 1997 of $298,000 and 1996 of
$43,000. Income taxes as a percentage of pre-tax aggregated 39.1% for
both the 1997 and 1996 periods.

Net Sales

Net sales for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 1997 increased by
$293,000, or 1.5% to an aggregate of $20,502,000, compared to
$20,209,000 in 1996. Total pounds shipped for the 1997 period increased
by 1.4%.
Cost of Sales and Gross Margin
- ------------------------------
Cost of sales for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 1997
decreased by 1.5% on a sales increase of 1.5%. The decrease in cost of
sales was primarily due to continuing improvements in the efficiency of
the new dyeing equipment. The improvements resulted in a decrease in
material usage of 4.0% for the twenty-six week period.
As a result of an increase in sales of 1.5% and a decrease in cost
of sales by 1.5%, gross profit improved by 38.9%, as compared to the
like period of 1996.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
- --------------------------------------------
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the twenty-six
weeks increased $73,000, or 6.3%. The increase is primarily due to
increases in professional services, travel expenses and insurance cost.
Factor's Charges
- ----------------
Factor's charges for the twenty-six weeks decreased by $3,000 as a
result of a larger percentage of non-factored sales.
Interest Expense
- ----------------
Interest expense for the twenty-six weeks of 1997 was relatively
constant, as compared to 1996. Interest for 1997 and 1996 resulted
mainly from interest on the Company's long-term debt incurred to finance
the 1995 dyeing expansion.

Interest Income
- ---------------
Interest income for the twenty-six weeks increased by $55,000 as
compared to 1996. The increase was due to an increase in funds
invested.
Income before Provision for Income Taxes
- ----------------------------------------
For the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 1997, income before
provision for income taxes increased to $533,000, compared to a loss of
$24,000 in 1996, primarily as a result of the 1997 increase in sales
revenues with a reduced cost of sales.
Provision for Income Taxes
- --------------------------
For the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 1997 and June 29, 1996, the
Company made provision (credit) for income taxes of $209,000 and
($9,000), respectively, based on pre-tax income (loss) for 1997 of
$533,000 and 1996 of ($24,000). Income taxes as percentage of pre-tax
income (loss) aggregated 39.1% for both the 1997 and 1996 periods.
Subsequent Matters
- ------------------
The Company's joint venture company, Fytek, S.A. de C.V., has not
begun operations. The Company is sending equipment to Fytek on a lease
basis and believes all equipment will be in place by the end of the
third quarter.
Currently, the outlook for the remainder of 1997 is driven by a
number of uncertainties that could possibly have an impact on future
operating results. The continuing pressures in the market for lower
prices impacts the Company's efforts to increase market share and
generate targeted profit levels. The current economic forecast
indicates moderate growth in durable goods for the remainder of 1997.
This definitely impacts the Company's efforts in both the automotive and
home furnishings industries.
However, the Company is optimistic that the majority of the
technical issues relative to the new dyeing installation have been
solved. This should enable the Company to establish an increased market
presence in the future.

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 may borrow from First Union National Bank based on a $2,000,000
line of credit from the recent long-term loan agreement which borrowings
are secured by the outstanding credit balance at the factor. As of June
28, 1997, the Company had $3,500,000 due from the factor with a net of
$3,097,000 to mature on July 22, 1997.
The Company entered into a new loan agreement effective March 29,
1996 providing for a term loan of $6,000,000 and a working capital
facility of $2,000,000. Under the provisions of the loan agreement, the
Company may borrow up to $2,000,000 for seasonal working capital
requirements using the credit balance due from the factor as security.
The Company's working capital at June 28, 1997 aggregated
$8,381,967, representing a working capital ratio of 3.6 to 1 compared
with a working capital of $8,167,000 at December 28, 1996 and a working
capital ratio of 5.7 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 June 28, 1997:
Cash, cash equivalents and receivables........... $7,298,000
Current liabilities.............................. 3,229,000
----------
Excess of quick assets over current liabilities.. $4,069,000
==========
The Company believes that its cash, cash equivalents and
receivables, and its factoring and credit arrangements will be
sufficient to finance its operations for the next 12 months.
The results of operations of the Company for the periods discussed
have not been significantly affected by inflation.
During the twenty-six weeks of 1997, the Company acquired and made
deposits on new machinery and equipment of approximately $476,000 as set
forth in the accompanying statement of cash flows. For the balance of
1997, the Company anticipates the acquisition of machinery and equipment
of approximately $524,000 which, together with the acquisitions and
deposits on acquisitions incurred to June 28, 1997, will aggregate an
anticipated acquisition of new machinery of approximately $1,000,000 in
1997.
