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 may 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. The line of credit
loan matures annually on April 30 and may be renewed at the sole discretion
of the bank. There were no outstanding loans under this agreement as of
April 4, 1998 or March 29, 1997.

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.
The annual principal maturities of long-term debt at April 4, 1998
are as follows:
Current portion $ 750,000
1999/2000 750,000
2000/2001 750,000
2001/2002 750,000
2002/2003 750,000

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
$2,950,000 will be transferred to First Union National Bank on April 24, 1998.
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 13 - ACCOUNTING FOR POSSIBLE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
In 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed Of", which requires impairment losses to be recorded on
long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present
and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are
less than the assets' carrying amount. Statement No. 121 also addresses the
accounting for long-lived assets that are expected to be disposed of. The
Company adopted Statement No. 121 in the first quarter of 1996 and such
adoption did not have any effect on the financial statements for 1997 or for
the thirteen weeks ended April 4, 1998.
NOTE 14 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share are based on the net income divided by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the thirteen and
thirteen week periods ended April 4, 1998, and March 29, 1997.

to the first quarter of 1997. Sales dollars increased by a higher percentage
than pounds shipped due to an increase of 8.8% in full yarn pounds shipped and
a decrease of 15.3% in commission pounds shipped.
BURKE MILLS, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)
Cost of Sales and Gross Margin
Cost of sales for the thirteen weeks of 1998 increased by 3.6% on a
sales increase of 5.9%. The Company continued to increase the utilization of
its horizontal dyeing equipment, whereby eliminating steps in the manufacturing
process. As a result of an increase in sales of 5.9% and an increase in cost
of sales of 3.6%, gross margins improved to 11.8% of sales compared to 9.9%
in 1997.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the first quarter of
1998 increased by $73,000, or 11.6%, compared to 1997. Increases in compen-
sation, commissions and travel were the major contributors to the increase.
Factor's Charges
Factor's charges for the first quarter of 1998 and 1997 were 0.4% of
sales.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the first quarter of 1998 decreased by $3,000
compared to 1997 due to a lower average long-term debt.
Interest Income
Interest income for the first quarter of 1998 increased due to an
increase in funds invested. The Company's cash flow improved and resulted in
an increase in cash available to invest.
Equity in Net Earnings of Affiliate
The Company recorded $54,200 as equity in net earnings of Fytek, S.A.
De C.V., its joint venture in Mexico. The Company's share of net earnings and
losses is 50%. Fytek began operations in the fourth quarter of 1997.
BURKE MILLS, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)
Income Before Provision for Income Taxes
For the thirteen weeks ended April 4, 1998, income before provision
for income taxes increased primarily as a result of increased sales and
improved efficiencies in the manufacturing areas.
Provision for Income Taxes
The Company recorded provision for income taxes of $161,500 for the
first quarter of 1998 compared to $92,000 for 1997. Provision for taxes on
domestic income was 39% for 1998 and 1997.
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 April 4, 1998, the Company had $3,879,000
due from the factor with a net of $2,950,000 to mature on April 24, 1998. 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 April 4, 1998 aggregated $8,500,000
representing a working capital ratio of 3.1 to 1 compared with a working
capital of $8,407,000 at January 3, 1998 and a working capital ratio of
3.5 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 April 4, 1998:
Cash, cash equivalents and receivables........... $8,514,000
Current liabilities.............................. 4,072,000
Excess of quick assets over current liabilities.. $4,442,000
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.
BURKE MILLS, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)
Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)
The results of operations of the Company for the periods discussed
have not been significantly affected by inflation.
During the thirteen weeks of 1998, the Company acquired and made
deposits on new machinery and equipment of approximately $314,000 as
set forth in the accompanying statement of cash flows. For the balance of
1998, the Company anticipates the acquisition of machinery and equipment of
approximately $2,886,000 which, together with the acquisitions and deposits
on acquisitions incurred to April 4, 1998, will aggregate an anticipated
acquisition of new machinery of approximately $3,200,000 in 1998. The Company
plans to finance its capital from cash provided from operations and bank
financing.
The Company has initiated discussions with it significant suppliers,
large customers and financial institutions to ensure that those parties have
appropriate plans to remedy Year 2000 issues where their systems interface
with the Company's systems or otherwise impact its operations. The Company
will assess the extent to which its operations are vulnerable should those
organizations fail to remedy properly their computer systems. While the
Company believes its planning efforts are adequate to address its Year 2000
concerns, there can be no guarantee that the systems of other companies on
which the Company's systems and operations rely will be converted on a timely
basis and will not have a material effect on the Company.
