NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1997
1. Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In the
opinion of management all adjustments, consisting only of
normal recurring items, have been made which are necessary to
show a fair presentation of the financial position of the
Company at June 30, 1997 and the related results of
operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997
and 1996. The unaudited consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Company's Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1996.
2. Income Per Common Share
Reference is made to Exhibit 11 to this Form 10-Q for a
computation of primary and fully-diluted net income per
Common share.
In February, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, which is
required to be adopted on December 31, 1997. At that time,
the Company will be required to change the method currently
used to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior
periods. Under the new requirements for calculating primary
earnings per share, the dilutive effect of stock options will
be excluded. The impact of Statement 128 on the calculation
of earnings per share for these quarters is not expected to
be material.
3. Inventories
Inventories are classified as follows:
June 30, December 31,
(In thousands) 1997 1996
Finished goods $107,731 $104,092
Work in process 63,364 68,668
Raw materials and supplies 44,755 43,405
$215,850 $216,165
At June 30, 1997 approximately 66% of the inventories were
valued on the last-in, first-out method (LIFO).

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Changes in Financial Condition
The Company's debt (including the current portion of long-term
debt) increased $6.6 million during the first six months of 1997.
Capital expenditures totaled $26.6 million for the first six
months of 1997 compared to $15.4 million for the first six months
of 1996. Capital expenditures for 1997 are expected to be
approximately $70 million. At June 30, 1997, approximately $80.0
million of the Company's $200 million revolving credit facility
was available and unused. It is anticipated that financing of
future capital expenditures will be provided by cash flows from
operations, borrowings under the Company's revolving credit
facility, and, possibly, the sale of long-term debt or equity
securities.
Changes in Results of Operations
Quarter Ended June 30, 1997 vs. Quarter Ended June 30, 1996
Net sales for the second quarter of 1997 were $270.8 million
compared to $277.8 million in the second quarter of 1996, a
decrease of 2%. Excluding the effects of the sales during 1996
of the Company's Blanket Division, sales in the second quarter of
1997 increased 2%. The increase in revenues was due primarily to
volume increases.
Gross profit margins increased from 13.0% in the second quarter
of 1996 to 16.8% in the second quarter of 1997. The increase
reflects lower raw material costs, the benefits of recently
completed capital projects, and continued emphasis on cost
reduction programs. Operating income for the second quarter of
1996 was reduced $1.6 million by equipment relocation and
employee training costs related to the consolidation and closing
of two towel facilities.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a
percentage of sales from 9.0% to 11.0% in the second quarter of
1997 compared to the same quarter of 1996. The increase was due
primarily to higher information technology expenses associated
with implementation of new enterprise information systems and
higher advertising expenses.
Other income for the second quarter of 1997 included a pretax
gain of $1.5 million, or $.10 per share, related to the sale of
real estate no longer used by the Company.
(6)
Interest expense decreased $1.0 million in the second quarter of
1997 as compared to the second quarter of 1996 due primarily to a
decrease in average debt outstanding. Total debt declined $49.5
million from June 30, 1996 to June 30, 1997, a result of the sale
of the Blanket Division and lower inventory levels. Inventories
at June 30, 1997 were $12.7 million lower than June 30, 1996,
after excluding blanket inventories.
The effective income tax rate was 37.0% for the second quarter of
1997 compared to 37.5% for the second quarter of 1996.
Net income was $6.8 million, or $.62 per share after preferred
dividends, in the second quarter of 1997, compared to net income
of $2.1 million, or $.11 per share after preferred dividends, in
the second quarter of 1996.
Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 vs. Six Months Ended June 30, 1996
Net sales for the first six months of 1997 were $533.7 million
compared to $527.8 million in the first six months of 1996.
Excluding the effects of the sales during 1996 of the Company's
Blanket Division, sales in 1997 increased 6%. The increase in
revenues was due primarily to volume increases.
Gross profit margins increased from 13.4% in the first six months
of 1996 to 15.2% in the first six months of 1997. The increase
reflects lower raw material costs, the benefits of recently
completed capital projects, and continued emphasis on cost
reduction programs. Operating income for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 was reduced $1.6 million by equipment relocation
and employee training costs related to the consolidation and
closing of two towel facilities.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a
percentage of sales from 9.5% to 10.5% in the first six months of
1997 compared to the first six months of 1996. The increase was
due primarily to higher information technology expenses
associated with implementation of new enterprise information
systems and higher advertising expenses.
Pre-tax restructuring charges of $3.6 million in the first six
months of 1996 relate to closing a towel weaving plant and a yarn
manufacturing plant as a part of the Company's ongoing
consolidation effort to utilize assets more effectively.
Interest expense decreased $1.8 million the first six months of
1997 as compared to the first six months of 1996 due primarily to
a decrease in average debt outstanding. The decreased debt
resulted from the sale of the Blanket Division in 1996 and lower
inventory levels.
The effective income tax rate was 37.0% for the first six months
of 1997 compared to 37.5% for the first six months of 1996.
(7)
Net income for the first six months of 1997 was $8.9 million, or
$.72 per share after preferred dividends, compared to net income
after the effect of the restructuring charges of $1.4 million, or
a loss of $.09 per share after preferred dividends, for the first
six months of 1996.
In February, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, which is required
to be adopted on December 31, 1997. At that time, the Company
will be required to change the method currently used to compute
earnings per share and to restate all prior periods. Under the
new requirements for calculating primary earnings per share, the
dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded. The impact of
Statement 128 on the calculation of earnings per share for these
quarters is not expected to be material.

(1) The assumed conversion of the Registrant's Convertible Subordinated Debentures
and Convertible Preferred Stock for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and
six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 would have an anti-dilutive effect for
the computation of earnings per share; therefore, conversion has not been
assumed for these periods.
