ITEM 2:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

The following table sets forth the percentage relationship to net sales of
certain items in the Company's statements of earnings for the three month
periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.

                                              Percentage of Net Sales
                                                for the three month
                                               period ended March 31,
                                               1996              1995
                                              ------------------------
         Net Sales                            100.0%            100.0%
         Gross Profit                          26.5              26.3
         Selling Expenses                      14.8              14.9
         General & Administrative              10.4              10.1
         Operating Profit                       1.3               1.3
         Interest Expense                       1.1               0.6
         Gain on Sale of Equipment              0.0               0.9
         Earnings Before Income Taxes           0.0               1.8
         Net Earnings                           0.0               1.1

NET SALES increased from $6,245,000 in the first quarter of 1995 to $7,405,000
in the first quarter of 1996. The increase in net sales in the first quarter of
1996, as compared to the first quarter of 1995, is due primarily to the effect
of the Company's new Polarfleece(R) line for products and expanded sales of the
Company's table linen and bedding and accessories products. The sales increase
was adversely affected by a reduction of sales of triple woven cotton throws and
footstools.

GROSS MARGIN PERCENTAGES increased slightly from 26.3% in the first quarter of
1995 to 26.5% for the same period of 1996. During the first quarter of 1996,
compared to the comparable period of 1995, gross margin was positively affected
by a decrease in the raw materials as a percentage of sales and negatively
affected by increased depreciation expense and other manufacturing overhead
expenses related to new manufacturing capacity.

SELLING EXPENSES, as a percentage of net sales, were consistent with the same
period a year earlier. The amount of selling expenses increased primarily as the
result of the Company's efforts to develop new channels of distribution and
customers, including but not limited to the Company's expansion of in-house
sales staff, participation in the Heimtextil trade show in Frankfurt, and
expanded showrooms in Chicago and Atlanta.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES increased from $632,000 in the first quarter
of 1995 to $775,000 in the same period of 1996. The increase is primarily due to
the Company's expansion design and product development capabilities and middle
management and clerical support. General and administrative expenses were
adversely affected by the April 18, 1996 bankruptcy filing of Pacific Linen, who
owes the Company $113,000. The allowance for doubtful accounts includes a
reserve for the entire Pacific Linen account receivable.

GAIN ON SALE OF EQUIPMENT was $56,000 in the first quarter of 1995, compared to
no gain or loss during the first quarter of 1996. The 1995 gain resulted from
the sale of excess equipment.

INTEREST EXPENSE increased from $40,000 in the first quarter of 1995 to $79,000
in the first quarter of 1996. This increase was the result of higher first
quarter average borrowings to finance capital expenditures, and higher accounts
receivable and inventories.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Working capital was $7.6 million as of December 31, 1995 compared to $7.4
million as of March 31, 1996.

At December 31, 1995, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $477,000 and
$10,000 at March 31, 1996. The decrease in cash was applied to the Company's
revolving line-of-credit.

The Company has used and expects to continue using bank lines of credit to meet
its short-term working capital requirements. During 1995, the Company
renegotiated its credit facility. The new credit facility, which expires August
1997, consists of a revolving note and a term note. The total amount available
under the revolving note, which is due on demand, is limited to the lesser of $6
million or a defined borrowing base of eligible accounts receivable.

During March of 1996, the Company renegotiated its line of credit to allow for a
temporary advance against inventory to temporarily finance the capital
expenditures related to the opening of the new Redfield Polarfleece(R)
manufacturing facility and the procurement of additional Polarfleece(R) fabric
at advantageous prices from the Company's supplier of Polarfleece(R) fabrics.

The term note is due on demand and requires monthly principal payments of
$20,833. Both notes provide for monthly interest payments at 1.5% above the
bank's prime rate and are collateralized by accounts receivable, inventory,
equipment, and general intangibles. The outstanding balances on the revolving
note and term note were $1,954,000 and $896,000 at March 31, 1996.

For the quarter ended March 31, 1996, the Company's capital expenditures were
$477,000. The first quarter of 1996, capital expenditures include $364,000 to
expand manufacturing capacity, upgrade existing buildings, and additional
production equipment and $102,000 to upgrade the Company's computer system. The
Company expects to spend approximately an additional $350,000-$500,000 for the
remainder of 1996 to expand capacity, up-grade existing buildings and production
equipment. In addition, the Company expects to spend an additional $100,000 to
continue the upgrade and expansion of the Company's computer system.

Upon termination of the officers' stock appreciation program, the Company became
indebted to the Company's President and a former Executive Vice President in the
aggregate amount of $1,318,000. As of March 31, 1996, the total outstanding
indebtedness was $668,000. This indebtedness bears interest at 6% per and is
payable in varying installments through January 1998.

The Company believes that cash flows generated from operations and funds
available as a result of its borrowing capacity will be adequate to meet its
short-term working capital, projected capital expenditures and other financing
needs.
