received by the Company from one or more sales of capital stock of the Company
(other than Disqualified Stock (as defined)) at a redemption price of ________%

redemption date; provided, however, that at least $75 million in aggregate

information and financial statements appearing elsewhere in this
Prospectus. Unless the context requires otherwise, "Tultex" or the

Notes -- Certain Definitions." References to "year end" refer to the
Company's fiscal year end.

The Company

Tultex Corporation is one of the world's largest marketers and
manufacturers of activewear and licensed sports apparel for consumers and
sports enthusiasts. The Company's diverse product line includes fleeced
sweats, jersey products (outerwear T-shirts), jackets and caps. These
products are sold under the Company's own brands led by the Discus Athletic
and Logo Athletic premium labels and under private labels, including Nike,
Levi Strauss, Reebok and Pro Spirit. In addition, the Company has numerous
professional and college sports licenses to manufacture and market
embroidered and screen-printed products with team logos and designs under
its Logo Athletic and Logo 7 brands. The Company is a "super" licensee of
professional sports apparel, holding licenses from the National Football
League, Major League Baseball, the National Basketball Association and the
National Hockey League to manufacture a full range of apparel for adults
and children.

Historically a producer of quality fleecewear, in recent years Tultex has
initiated a strategy to enhance its competitiveness and to capitalize on
growth opportunities by becoming a consumer-oriented apparel maker able to
compete in a changing industry. This strategy includes the following
elements:

(bullet) Increasing Emphasis on Higher-Margin Products. The Company is
strengthening its competitiveness in the activewear business through
(i) the development of branded and private label, higher- quality and
higher-margin products to supplement its traditionally strong position
in the lower-priced segment of the business and (ii) since 1991, the
manufacture of jersey products. The Company is developing its own
brands, promoting Discus Athletic for its premium products and using
the Tultex label for the value-oriented segment of the market.
Discus Athletic's highly visible sponsorship of college football and
basketball on the ESPN and ABC television networks and Atlantic Coast
Conference basketball has contributed to significant annual increases
in sales of this brand since 1992. In addition, Tultex has partnering
arrangements to supply higher-quality, private label products to
companies such as Reebok, Levi Strauss and Nike.

(bullet) Expanding into Licensed Apparel Business to Complement Activewear
Business. Tultex's 1992 acquisitions of Logo 7, a marketer of
licensed sports apparel, and Universal Industries, Inc.
("Universal"), a marketer of sports and entertainment licensed
headwear, enabled the Company to achieve the fourth largest
market share in the higher-margin licensed apparel business in
1993, and have created opportunities for significant
manufacturing and distribution synergies with the Company's
activewear business. The promotion of the Logo Athletic brand of
licensed apparel through television and print advertising, as
well as promotional arrangements featuring Dallas Cowboys'
quarterback Troy Aikman, San Francisco 49ers' quarterback Steve
Young, Miami Dolphins' quarterback Dan Marino, the Chicago Black
Hawks' Chris Chelios and the Washington Bullets' Chris Webber,
among others, has helped to increase the visibility and sales of
Logo Athletic products.

(bullet) Increasing Distribution Channels and Strengthening Customer
Relationships. Tultex actively pursues strong relationships with
department, sporting goods and other specialty stores, such as Sears,
JC Penney, Modell's, Dillard's, Foot Locker, Champs and Sports
Authority, to distribute its higher margin branded and private label
products. In addition, the Company continues to strengthen its
relationships with high volume retailers such as Wal-Mart, Kmart and
Target through private label and Tultex products. Tultex strives to
provide its customers with exceptional service support; for example,
its distribution capabilities are highly responsive to customers'
changing delivery and inventory management requirements.

(bullet) Investing in Modern Distribution and Production Facilities.
Between January 1, 1988 and October 1, 1994, Tultex made
approximately $189 million in capital expenditures, investing
primarily in the construction of its customer service center and
in high-efficiency spinning, knitting, dyeing, cutting and
embroidering machinery. In 1991, Tultex began operating the
customer service center, which the Company believes is the most
highly automated in the industry. Having made significant
investments in its distribution and production facilities, the
Company's average annual capital expenditures are not expected to
exceed approximately $20 million annually through 1997.

The Company's strategy has helped contribute to an improved sales mix.
While total sales increased 4.9% in the first nine months of 1994 over the
comparable period in 1993, sales of Discus Athletic activewear and premium
private label sweats under the Nike, Levi Strauss and Reebok names
increased 45.9% to $51.2 million and sales of Logo Athletic licensed
apparel increased 265% to $45.5 million. Sales of jersey products were
$38.9 million for the nine months ended October 1, 1994, representing 17.3%
of the Company's activewear sales during such period compared to 13.2% for
the same period in 1993. However, reduced consumer demand for activewear
and an oversupply of activewear in retail inventories in the first half of
1994, the MLB strike, the NHL lockout and higher raw material costs
adversely affected Tultex's results of operations in the first nine months
of 1994.

The Refinancing

Net proceeds of this Offering will be used to repay in full the Company's
variable rate note due July 31, 1996 (the "Term Loan"), the Company's 8 7/8%
Senior Notes due June 1, 1999 (the "8 7/8% Notes"), and related prepayment
expenses. See "Use of Proceeds and Refinancing." The Company believes
that the longer maturity and the increased covenant flexibility provided
under the terms of the Notes will allow the Company to continue to increase
its long-term investment in brand promotion and higher-margin products.

Contemporaneously with the completion of this Offering, the Company and its
subsidiaries will enter into a $225 million, three-year revolving credit
facility with a group of commercial banks (the "Senior Credit Facility" and
together with the Offering, the "Refinancing"). The Senior Credit Facility
will replace the Company's existing $225 million revolving credit facility,
which expires on October 6, 1995. Scheduled amortization requirements
prior to this Offering (excluding the Senior Credit Facility) totaled $92.3
million from January 1, 1995 through December 31, 1998. After giving
effect to the Refinancing, there will be no material scheduled amortization
requirements (other than under the Senior Credit Facility), until the
maturity of the Notes.

Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility will be general unsecured
obligations of the Company and will rank pari passu in right of payment
with the Notes and all other unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company and
will be guaranteed by the Guarantors. The closings of this Offering and of
the Senior Credit Facility are conditioned upon each other. See "Use of
Proceeds and Refinancing."

required to offer to purchase Notes at 100%
of the principal amount thereof with the net
proceeds of certain asset sales. These
covenants are subject to a number of
significant exceptions and qualifications.
See "Description of the Notes."

__________
(1) See Note 3 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for
information with respect to the Company's change in the method of
determining the cost of inventory from the LIFO method to the FIFO method in
the fourth quarter of fiscal 1993.

(2) See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information with
respect to the acquisition of Logo 7 and Universal Industries, Inc.

(3) Includes 53 weeks. All other years presented include 52 weeks.

(4) Reflects the Company's adoption of SFAS No. 96 "Accounting for Income Taxes"
as of the beginning of the fiscal year.

(5) EBITDA represents earnings before taking into consideration interest
expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and excludes gain on
sale of facilities. EBITDA is included herein to provide additional
information related to the Company's ability to service debt. EBITDA should
not be considered as an alternative measure of the Company's net income,
operating performance, cash flow or liquidity. After giving effect to the
Refinancing, for the year ended January 1, 1994, EBITDA, pro forma ratio of
EBITDA to interest expense and pro forma ratio of EBITDA minus capital
expenditures to interest expense would have been $50,441, 2.42 and 1.35,
respectively.

(6) The deficiency of EBITDA minus capital expenditures to interest expense for
the year ended December 30, 1989 was $32,477.

(7) For purposes of computing this ratio, earnings consist of earnings before
income taxes and fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expense,
amortization of deferred debt issuance costs and one-third of rental expense
(the portion considered representative of the interest factor). After giving
effect to the Offering (but without giving effect to incremental interest
expense associated with borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility on a pro
forma basis), the pro forma deficiency of earnings to fixed charges would
have been $3,838 for the nine months ended October 1, 1994 and the pro forma
ratio of earnings to fixed charges would have been 1.23 for the year ended
January 1, 1994.

(8) The deficiency of earnings to fixed charges for the nine months ended
October 1, 1994 was $884.

Certain Considerations

Prospective investors should consider carefully all the information
contained in this Prospectus, including the following factors.

Substantial Leverage

As of December 31, 1994, after giving effect to the Refinancing, the
Company's total indebtedness would have been approximately $222.6 million,
all of which was unsubordinated, and total shareholders' equity would have
been approximately $___ million, resulting in a pro forma total debt to
total capitalization ratio of ___%. In addition, at such date
approximately $60.4 million of additional borrowing capacity would have
been available (subject to the borrowing base formula) under the Senior
Credit Facility. The Indenture will permit the Company and its
subsidiaries to incur certain additional specified indebtedness. See
"Description of the Notes."

The Company's borrowing needs are seasonal. The maximum amount of
indebtedness outstanding at any fiscal month end in 1994 was approximately
$309 million at October 1, 1994. Management believes that amounts
available pursuant to the borrowing base formula to be contained in the
Senior Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet its expected peak
borrowing requirements. See "-- Seasonality and Cyclicality."

The Company currently has incurred, and after the consummation of the
Offering will continue to incur, significant annual cash interest expense.
After giving effect to the Refinancing, the pro forma ratio of EBITDA to
interest expense would have been 2.06 to 1 for the 12 months ended October
1, 1994 compared to 2.59 to 1 before the Refinancing. After giving effect
to the Offering, the pro forma deficiency of earnings to fixed charges for
the 12 months ended October 1, 1994 would have been $1.4 million. The
ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the 12 months ended October 1, 1994
was 1.10 to 1 before the Offering. See "Use of Proceeds and Refinancing"
and "Capitalization."

The level of the Company's indebtedness could have important consequences
to holders of the Notes, including: (i) the Company's ability to obtain
additional financing in the future for working capital, capital
expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, general corporate
purposes or other purposes may be restricted, (ii) a substantial portion of
the Company's cash flow from operations must be dedicated to the payment of
the Company's interest expense, (iii) the Company is more highly leveraged
than certain of its competitors, which may place the Company at a
competitive disadvantage and (iv) the Company's borrowings under the Senior
Credit Facility will accrue interest at variable rates, which could result
in increased interest expense in the event of higher interest rates.

The Company's ability to make interest payments on the Notes will be
dependent on the Company's future operating performance, which is itself
dependent on a number of factors, many of which are beyond the Company's
control. The Company's ability to repay the Notes at maturity will depend
upon these same factors and the ability of the Company to raise additional
funds. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations -- Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital
Resources."

During 1993 and 1994, the Company sought and obtained waivers and
amendments of violations of certain financial covenants contained in the
instruments relating to the 8 7/8% Notes, the Term Loan and the Company's
existing revolving credit facility. During the second quarter of 1994, the
Company suspended the payment of dividends on its preferred and common
stock. Substantially contemporaneously with the consummation of the
Offering, the Company expects to pay existing dividend arrearages on its
preferred stock and thereafter to resume paying quarterly dividends
thereon. No decision with respect to renewal of common stock dividends has
been made.

Restrictive Debt Covenants

The Senior Credit Facility and the Indenture will contain provisions that
may substantially restrict the Company's operations. Any or all of such
restrictions as well as the Company's substantial leverage, could adversely
affect the Company's or its subsidiaries' ability to incur additional
indebtedness, make capital expenditures, take advantage of business
opportunities and withstand competitive pressures or adverse economic
conditions. See "Use of Proceeds and Refinancing."

Senior Credit Facility

The Senior Credit Facility is expected to contain material restrictions on
the operation of the Company's business, including covenants restricting,
among other things, the ability of the Company and certain subsidiaries to
incur indebtedness, create liens on the Company's property, guarantee
obligations, alter the character of the Company's business, consolidate,
merge or purchase or sell the Company's assets, make investments or advance
funds, prepay indebtedness and transact business with affiliates. The
Senior Credit Facility is also expected to contain certain financial
covenants, including covenants that will require the Company to maintain a
minimum tangible net worth, leverage ratio and fixed charges coverage
ratio, as well as customary representations and warranties, funding
conditions and events of default. A breach of one or more covenants under
such facility could result in an acceleration of the Company's obligations
thereunder, and the inability of the Company to borrow additional amounts
under the Senior Credit Facility. In addition, a default under the Notes
will constitute an event of default under the Senior Credit Facility. See
"Use of Proceeds and Refinancing."

Indenture

The Indenture will contain material restrictions on the Company's
operations, including covenants that restrict or limit (i) indebtedness
that may be incurred by the Company and its subsidiaries, (ii) the ability
of the Company and its subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other
distributions, purchase or redeem stock and make other investments, (iii)
the creation of liens, (iv) the disposition of assets, (v) sale and
leaseback transactions, (vi) the issuance and sale of capital stock of the
Company's subsidiaries, (vii) transactions with affiliates, (viii) a change
of control of the Company and (ix) mergers, consolidations and certain
sales of assets by the Company. A breach of one or more covenants under
the Indenture could result in an acceleration of the Company's obligations
thereunder. See "Description of the Notes."

Competition and Other Industry Concerns

Domestic and Foreign Competition

The activewear and licensed apparel industries are highly competitive.
Since the 1980s, the activewear industry, and in recent years the licensed
apparel industry, have been characterized by the acquisition of existing
competitors by larger companies with substantial financial resources and
manufacturing and distribution capabilities. Certain participants in these
industries have greater financial and other resources than the Company.
Over the past five years, the quality of activewear products has improved
significantly, through the use of a higher proportion of cotton, heavier
fabric weights, a broader range of sizes, greater sewing detail and a
greater variety of colors. Despite these improvements, retail prices have
risen only slightly due to better manufacturing efficiencies and
competitive pressures. Increased competition from these and future
competitors could reduce sales and prices, adversely affecting the
Company's results of operations. Because of the Company's high leverage,
it may be less able to respond effectively to such competition than other
participants.

The Company's products are subject to foreign competition. The extent of
import protection afforded to domestic manufacturers has been, and is
likely to remain, subject to considerable political deliberation.
Beginning in 1995, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade ("GATT") will
eliminate over a period of 10 years restrictions on imports of apparel. In
addition, on January 1, 1994, the North American Free Trade Agreement
("NAFTA") became effective. The implementation of NAFTA could result in an
increase in apparel imported from Mexico that would compete against certain
of the Company's products. However, management believes that freight costs
and shipping times are significant competitive barriers to foreign
activewear manufacturers and that, although there can be no assurance, the
implementation of GATT and NAFTA will not have a material adverse effect on
the results of operations or financial condition of the Company.

Licenses and Trademarks

Professional and collegiate athletic licensors successfully have sought to
increase their royalty percentages and minimum guaranteed payments in
contracts with licensees, such as the Company's subsidiaries. In addition,
the Company's material licenses are non-exclusive, and new or existing
competitors may obtain similar licenses. While the Company has enjoyed
long, successful and uninterrupted licensing relationships with its
professional and collegiate athletic licensors, if a significant license or
licenses were not renewed or replaced, the Company's sales and results of
operations likely would be materially and adversely affected. See
"Business -- Licenses."

Because of its growing emphasis on branded products, the Company
increasingly will rely on the strength of its trademarks. The Company has
in the past and may in the future be required to expend significant
resources protecting these trademarks, and the loss or limitation of the
exclusive right to use them could adversely affect the Company's sales and
results of operations. See "Business -- Industry -- Competition" and
"-- Trademarks."

Major League Baseball Strike and National Hockey League Lockout

Through its subsidiaries, the Company sells activewear and headwear bearing
professional and college sports licensed logos and designs, including Major
League Baseball ("MLB") and National Hockey League ("NHL") team logos and
designs. The MLB players' strike and NHL lockout, which was settled on
January 13, 1995, have adversely affected sales of items bearing these
marks and the MLB players' strike will continue to adversely affect sales
of MLB products until this dispute is resolved. The Company expects that
consumer demand for NHL products and, once play resumes, MLB products will
rebound, but may recover slowly. There can be no assurance that the MLB
dispute will be resolved in the near future or that sales of MLB and NHL
products will increase or return to prior levels. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations --
Results of Operations -- Nine Months Ended October 1, 1994 Compared to Nine
Months Ended October 2, 1993."

Unionization of Hourly Workers at Martinsville Facilities

In August 1994, hourly employees at the Company's Martinsville, Virginia
facilities voted for representation by the Amalgamated Clothing and Textile
Workers Union. The Company currently is negotiating a labor agreement with
the union which would cover all hourly employees at the Martinsville
facilities. As of December 31, 1994, the Company's approximately 2,200
hourly employees in Martinsville accounted for approximately 32% of the
Company's total employees and approximately 36% of the Company's hourly
employees. Although the Company does not anticipate such a result, failure
to reach agreement with the union could materially adversely affect the
Company's operations at its Martinsville facilities. None of the Company's
other employees are represented by a union. See "Business -- Employees."

Raw Materials

The principal raw materials used by the Company in the manufacture of its
products are cotton of various grades and staple lengths and polyester in
staple form. Although the Company has been able to acquire sufficient
quantities of cotton for its operations in the past, any shortage in the
cotton supply by reason of weather, crop disease or other factors, or
significant increase in the price of cotton or polyester, could adversely
affect the Company's results of operations. Tultex makes advance purchases
of raw cotton based on projected demand. The Company has purchased
substantially all of its raw cotton needs for 1995 and has fixed the price
on approximately 35% of such cotton. See "Business -- Raw Materials."

Seasonality and Cyclicality

Historically, the fleecewear and licensed apparel industries have been
seasonal, with peak sales occurring in the third and fourth quarters of the
calendar year, coinciding with cooler weather and the playing seasons for
some of the most popular professional and college sports. The activewear
and licensed apparel industries also are cyclical, and the Company's
performance may be negatively affected by changing retailer and consumer
demands and downturns in consumer spending, such as the downturn that began
during the latter part of 1993 and that affected the Company's performance
into 1994. See "Business -- Industry" and " -- Seasonality."

Fraudulent Conveyance Considerations

Each Guarantor's Guarantee of the obligations of the Company under the
Notes may be subject to review under relevant federal and state fraudulent
conveyance statutes (the "fraudulent conveyance statutes") in a bankruptcy,
reorganization or rehabilitation case or similar proceeding or a lawsuit by
or on behalf of unpaid creditors of such Guarantor. If a court were to
find under relevant fraudulent conveyance statutes that, at the time the
Notes were issued, (a) a Guarantor guaranteed the Notes with the intent of
hindering, delaying or defrauding current or future creditors or (b)(i) a
Guarantor received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair
consideration for guaranteeing the Notes and (ii)(A) was insolvent or was
rendered insolvent by reason of such Guarantee, (B) was engaged, or about
to engage, in a business or transaction for which its assets constituted
unreasonably small capital or (C) intended to incur, or believed that it
would incur, obligations beyond its ability to pay as such obligations
matured (as all of the foregoing terms are defined in or interpreted under
such fraudulent conveyance statutes), such court could avoid or subordinate
such Guarantee to presently existing and future indebtedness of such
Guarantor and take other action detrimental to the holders of the Notes,
including, under certain circumstances, invalidating such Guarantee. See
"Description of the Notes -- Guarantees."

The Board of Directors and management of the Company and each Guarantor
believe that at the time of issuance of the Notes and the Guarantees, each
Guarantor will be (a) neither insolvent nor rendered insolvent thereby, (b)
in possession of sufficient capital to meet its obligations as the same
mature or become due and to operate its business effectively and (c)
incurring obligations within its ability to pay as the same mature or
become due. There can be no assurance, however, that a court passing on
such questions would reach the same conclusions.

No Market for Notes

The Notes are new securities for which there is no trading market. The
Company does not intend to list the Notes on any securities exchange. The
Company has been advised by the Underwriters that the Underwriters
currently intend to make a market in the Notes; however, the Underwriters
are not obligated to do so and may discontinue any such market making at
any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the development
or liquidity of any trading market for the Notes. See "Underwriting."

Use of Proceeds and Refinancing

The net proceeds from this Offering will be approximately $112 million.
The Company intends to use all of such net proceeds and borrowings of
approximately $_____________ million under the Senior Credit Facility to
repay principal, accrued interest and prepayment expenses relating to the
8 7/8% Notes and the Term Loan. The Company intends to use additional
borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility to repay amounts outstanding
under its existing credit facility, which expires on October 6, 1995. The
closings of this Offering and the Senior Credit Facility are conditioned
upon each other. The Refinancing will eliminate certain covenants and
extend the maturities of the Company's indebtedness. Upon consummation of
the Refinancing, the Company expects to record an extraordinary charge,
representing the loss from early extinguishment of debt (including
expensing of unamortized issuance costs and prepayment penalties). As of
October 1, 1994, this charge, net of tax, would have been approximately
$5.5 million.

As of October 1, 1994, there was $95 million in aggregate principal amount
of 8 7/8% Notes outstanding and $18.3 million outstanding under the Term Loan
bearing interest at the annual rate of 90-day LIBOR plus 0.75% (7.19% as of
December 30, 1994). The 8 7/8% Notes mature on June 1, 1999 and the Term Loan
matures on July 31, 1996.

Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility will be general unsecured
obligations of the Company and will rank pari passu in right of payment
with the Notes and all other unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company.
As of October 1, 1994, all of the Company's outstanding indebtedness was
unsubordinated. Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility will bear a
floating rate of interest equal to the prime rate or a reference rate plus
a margin ranging from 0.50% to 1.625%, depending upon the applicable
reference rate and the Company's ratio of total debt to tangible
capitalization. The Senior Credit Facility will contain customary
representations and events of default, including default upon a change of
control of the Company. It will also contain covenants restricting, among
other things, the ability of the Company and certain subsidiaries to incur
indebtedness, create liens on the Company's property, guaranty obligations,
alter the character of the Company's business, consolidate, merge or
purchase or sell the Company's assets, make investments or advance funds,
prepay indebtedness and transact business with affiliates. The Senior
Credit Facility will also contain certain financial covenants, including
covenants that will require the Company to maintain a minimum tangible net
worth, leverage ratio and fixed charges coverage ratio.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations

The financial results for the first six months of fiscal 1992 and all prior
periods presented have been restated to include Universal, acquired by the
Company in June 1992 through an exchange of stock accounted for as a
pooling of interests. In addition, the Company changed its method of
determining cost of inventories from the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method
to the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method during the fourth quarter of
fiscal 1993. This change has been applied retroactively by restating all
prior periods presented.

Nine Months Ended October 1, 1994 Compared to Nine Months Ended October 2,
1993

Net Sales and Other Income increased $18.7 million or 4.9% for the nine
months ended October 1, 1994 over the comparable period in the prior year,
from $378.4 million to $397.1 million, due to increased sales volume in
activewear and licensed apparel headwear lines. These increases were
partially offset by a decrease in other licensed sports apparel sales due
to the effects of the Major League Baseball strike and the National Hockey
League lockout, and to some general weakening in the licensed sports
apparel marketplace. Activewear sales for the nine months ended October 1,
1994 increased by 2.6% over the comparable period in 1993 from $219.5
million to $225.3 million, and licensed apparel headwear sales increased by
52.1% over the comparable period in 1993 from $36.5 million to $55.5
million. Sales of other licensed sports apparel decreased by 4.9% from the
comparable period in 1993 from $122.3 million to $116.3 million. The
Company's Discus Athletic brand continues to gain recognition in the
marketplace, with sales increasing $10.9 million or 41.8% over the
comparable 1993 period from $26.1 million to $37.0 million.

Cost of Products Sold as a percentage of sales increased to 75.2% for the
nine months ended October 1, 1994 from 73.6% for the comparable 1993
period. The decline in the margin was due mainly to higher raw material
costs for cotton and polyester and reduced operating schedules late in 1993
and early in 1994. The Company's cost of products sold also has been
affected by overhead costs resulting from less than full utilization of its
customer service center which became operational in 1991.

Depreciation expense as a percentage of sales increased to 4.6% for the
nine months ended October 1, 1994 from 4.4% for the comparable 1993 period.
Depreciation expense increased by $1.4 million or 8.3% over the 1993 period
from $16.8 million to $18.2 million, due to fixed asset additions.

Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") expenses as a percentage of
sales were 17.1% for both the first nine months of 1994 and 1993. Higher
sales in the nine months ended October 1, 1994 were offset by higher SG&A
expenses, especially royalty expenses.

Interest expense as a percentage of sales was 3.3% for both the nine month
periods of 1994 and 1993. Interest expense increased $0.9 million or 7.3%
in the first nine months of 1994 over the comparable period in 1993, from
$12.3 million to $13.2 million, due to higher average rates and higher
average borrowings to finance working capital requirements. The nature of
the Company's primary businesses requires extensive seasonal borrowings to
support its working capital needs. As of October 6, 1993, the Company
entered into a $225 million revolving credit facility, which replaced its
short-term credit lines. For the first nine months of 1993, short-term
borrowings averaged $120 million at an average rate of 3.7%. Under the
revolving credit facility, average borrowings and interest rate for the
nine months ended October 1, 1994 were $152 million and 4.9%, respectively.

Provision for Income Tax is a function of pretax earnings and the combined
effective rate of federal and state income taxes. The effective rate for
combined federal and state income taxes was 38% for the nine-month period
ended October 1, 1994, versus 37% for the comparable period in 1993. The
increase in provision for income tax for the nine months ended October 1,
1994 is due solely to a change in the estimated federal income tax on the
Company's 1994 expected pretax earnings.

Fiscal Year 1993 Compared to Fiscal Year 1992

Net Sales and Other Income for fiscal 1993 increased $29.7 million or 5.9%
over 1992 from $503.9 million to $533.6 million. The 1993 sales growth was
due to a 23.7% increase in licensed apparel sales partially offset by lower
activewear sales. Unit sales volume of activewear apparel in 1993 was
relatively unchanged from the prior year's level, while the average selling
price of activewear apparel decreased by approximately 2% from 1992. The
1993 average price decline of activewear products was primarily due to
proportionately higher shipping volume of jersey products, which sell at
lower prices than fleece garments.

Cost of Products Sold as a percentage of sales increased from 73.0% for
1992 to 74.1% for 1993. The increase was primarily due to heavier fabric
weights, greater sewing detail for activewear products, strong licensed
apparel sales growth with mass merchandisers which sales generally yield
lower margins, and expenses associated with streamlining operations. The
increase in jersey sales, which traditionally yield lower margins than
fleece, also increased cost of products sold as a percentage of sales.
Apparel production for 1993 decreased 2.5% from 1992.

Depreciation expense as a percentage of sales increased to 4.4% for 1993
from 4.2% for 1992. Depreciation expense increased $2.6 million or 12.5%
over 1992 from $20.8 million to $23.4 million. The 1993 increase was
primarily due to expenditures for machinery and equipment.

Selling, General and Administrative expenses increased as a percentage of
sales from 16.1% in 1992 to 16.6% in 1993. The primary reason for the SG&A
expense increase was an approximately $5 million increase in royalty
expenses related to higher sales of professional sports licensed apparel.

Interest expense was 3.2% of sales for 1993 compared to 2.7% for 1992.
Interest expense increased $3.5 million or 25.9% in 1993 compared to 1992
from $13.5 million to $17.0 million primarily due to higher indebtedness
from increased working capital needs and the acquisition of Logo 7. The
Company experienced increased working capital needs in 1993 due to higher
inventory levels and extended payment terms for some customers.

Provision for Income Tax reflects an effective rate for combined federal
and state income tax of 35% in 1993 and 1992.

Fiscal Year 1992 Compared to Fiscal Year 1991

Net Sales and Other Income for the year ended January 2, 1993, increased
$154.0 million or 44.0% over 1991 from $349.9 million to $503.9 million.
Sales by Logo 7, which was acquired by the Company in January 1992, were
the primary reason for the 1992 sales growth. In addition to Logo 7's
sales, unit sales volume increased 2.2% and the average selling price of
activewear products increased 1.9% in 1992 from 1991. The 1992 volume
increase of activewear products was primarily due to a substantial increase
in jersey shipments, compared to 1991. The price increase of activewear
products was the result of general price increases on a sales mix of
higher-priced fleece garments partially offset by strong growth of jersey
products, which sell at lower prices than fleece garments.

Cost of Products Sold increased 35.7% or $96.8 million in 1992 compared to
1991 from $271.2 million to $368.0 million; however, cost of products sold
as a percentage of sales decreased from 77.5% for 1991 to 73.0% for 1992.
The decrease in cost of products sold as a percentage of sales was
primarily due to higher operating schedules and lower cotton prices. Total
apparel production for 1992 increased 16.9% from 1991, resulting in more
favorable absorption of fixed costs.

Depreciation expense as a percentage of sales was 4.2% for 1992 and 5.0%
for 1991. Depreciation expense in 1992 increased $3.4 million or 19.5%
over 1991 from $17.4 million to $20.8 million. The increase for 1992 was
primarily due to a full year's depreciation of the customer service center
which became operational during 1991.

Selling, General and Administrative expense increased as a percentage of
net sales from 13.0% in 1991 to 16.1% in 1992. This increase was generated
by the effect of the 1992 acquisition of Logo 7 and advertising expense due
to increased brand promotion. The effect of the Logo 7 acquisition on SG&A
expense was due to royalty expenses related to professional sports
licenses, wages and benefits paid to the employees of Logo 7 and increased
sales commissions associated with Logo 7 sales.

Interest expense as a percentage of sales was 2.7% and 2.6% for 1992 and
1991, respectively. Interest expense was $13.5 million for 1992 compared
to $9.1 million for 1991. The increase was the result of higher
indebtedness due to the acquisition of Logo 7, increased working capital
needs and the capitalization of $2.3 million of interest, and costs
pertaining to the construction of the customer service center in the first
half of 1991, which lowered interest expense for that year. The increase
was partially offset by a reduction in short-term interest rates.

The Company's effective income tax rate was 35% in 1992 and 32% in 1991.
The lower rate for 1991 was the result of permanent differences between
book and taxable income and the increased percentage relationship to much
lower pretax earnings. In 1992, the Company adopted SFAS No. 109
"Accounting for Income Taxes," which superseded SFAS No. 96. The Company's
adoption of SFAS No. 109 had no material effect on 1992 earnings. The
implementation of SFAS No. 96 during 1991 reduced the Company's restated
first quarter 1991 deferred tax liability and increased earnings by $2.8
million.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net working capital at October 1, 1994 increased $55.9 million from
January 1, 1994 due mainly to higher receivables offset by current
maturities of long-term debt. Receivables normally peak in September and
October and begin to decline in December as shipment volume decreases and
cash is collected. Net accounts receivable increased $64.0 million from
January 1, 1994 to October 1, 1994 due to the seasonality of activewear
shipments.

Inventories traditionally increase during the first half of the year to
support second-half shipments. In 1994, inventories peaked on July 2, 1994
at $206.5 million and then dropped to $165.6 million on October 1, 1994.
The average month-end inventory level for the nine months ended October 1,
1994 of $185.5 million was 4.7% or $8.4 million higher than the average
month-end inventory level for the comparable period in 1993 due to excess
capacity in the industry and weak demand in late 1993 which continued
through the spring of 1994. However, as of October 1, 1994, inventories
had decreased by approximately $23.7 million or 12.5% from October 2, 1993,
while sales had increased 4.9% in the first nine months of 1994 as compared
to the same period in 1993.

The Current Ratio (ratio of current assets to current liabilities) at
October 1, 1994 was 4.9 compared to 6.4 at January 1, 1994. The decrease
in the current ratio between October 1, 1994 and January 1, 1994 was due
mainly to higher current maturities of long-term debt.

On October 6, 1993, the Company began operating with a two-year $225
million revolving credit facility which replaced the Company's short-term
credit lines. Total long-term debt at October 1, 1994 consisted primarily
of the 8 7/8% Notes totalling $95 million, $192 million outstanding under the
revolving credit facility and $18 million due under the Term Loan. The
Company's average credit facility borrowings during fiscal 1994 were $155
million and its peak borrowing was $192 million during September 1994. The
current portion of long-term debt includes $19 million of the 8 7/8% Notes and
a total of $9 million, due in equal quarterly payments of approximately $2
million each, under the Term Loan. At October 1, 1994, the Company was in
compliance with, or had obtained waivers for violations of, all debt
covenants.

Net proceeds from this Offering will be used to repay in full the 8 7/8% Notes
and the Term Loan. The Company believes that the longer maturities and the
increased covenant flexibility provided under the terms of the Notes will
allow the Company to continue to increase its long-term investment in brand
promotion and higher-margin products. See "Use of Proceeds and
Refinancing."

For the first nine months of 1994 net cash used by operations decreased
$23.6 million or 30.6% compared to the same period in 1993 from $77 million
to $53.4 million. The reduced need for operating cash was due to reduced
inventory partially offset by higher accounts receivable. Cash used for
capital expenditures decreased $13.5 million or 65.5% for the first nine
months of 1994 compared to the same period in 1993 from $20.6 million to
$7.1 million. The Company has budgeted approximately $15 million for
capital expenditures in fiscal 1995. Cash provided by financing activities
decreased $31.6 million or 31.8% for the first nine months of 1993 from
$99.5 million to $67.9 million as a result of lower net borrowings offset
by lower dividend payments in 1994. The Company expects that annual cash
flows from operations, supplemented by borrowings under the Senior Credit
Facility, will be adequate to support its cash requirements.

Stockholders' Equity decreased $1.8 million during the first nine months of
1994 primarily due to the net loss for the period of $0.5 million and cash
dividends of $1.8 million offset by $0.5 million net proceeds from a new
employee stock purchase plan. On April 13, 1994, the Board of Directors
suspended further dividend payments until such time as cash flow and
profitability are sufficient to support them. Accumulated dividends on the
Company's 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock and Cumulative Convertible Preferred
Stock, $7.50 Series B totalled $567,500 at October 1, 1994.

Business

General

Tultex Corporation is one of the world's largest marketers and
manufacturers of activewear and licensed sports apparel for consumers and
sports enthusiasts. The Company's diverse product line includes fleeced
sweats, jersey products (outerwear T-shirts), jackets and caps. These
products are sold under the Company's own brands led by the Discus Athletic
and Logo Athletic premium labels and under private labels, including Nike,
Levi Strauss, Reebok and Pro Spirit. In addition, the Company has numerous
professional and college sports licenses to manufacture and market
embroidered and screen-printed products with team logos and designs under
its Logo Athletic and Logo 7 brands. The Company is a "super" licensee of
professional sports apparel, holding licenses from the National Football
League ("NFL"), MLB, the National Basketball Association ("NBA") and the
NHL to manufacture a full range of apparel for adults and children.

Historically, Tultex has been a producer of quality fleece products for
sale to distributors and resale to consumers under private labels.
However, in the 1980s, the activewear industry began to change. Increasing
consumer demand reflecting more active and casual lifestyles and the
industry's historically good long-term growth prospects and low fashion
risk as compared to other apparel products, attracted large, well-financed
companies which acquired competitors of the Company. Simultaneously,
larger mass merchandise retailers began to exert pressure on margins for
lower-priced fleece products.

In recent years, Tultex has initiated a strategy to enhance its
competitiveness and to capitalize on growth opportunities by becoming a
consumer-oriented apparel maker able to compete in a changing industry.
This strategy includes the following elements:

(bullet) Increasing Emphasis on Higher-Margin Products. The Company is
strengthening its competitiveness in the activewear business
through (i) the development of branded and private label, higher-
quality and higher-margin products to supplement its
traditionally strong position in the lower-priced segment of the
business and (ii) since 1991, the manufacture of jersey products.
The Company is developing its own brands, promoting Discus
Athletic for its premium products and using the Tultex label for
the value-oriented segment of the market. Discus Athletic's
highly visible sponsorship of college football and basketball on
the ESPN and ABC television networks and Atlantic Coast
Conference basketball has contributed to significant annual
increases in sales of this brand since 1992. In addition, Tultex
has partnering arrangements to supply higher-quality, private
label products to companies such as Reebok, Levi Strauss and
Nike.

(bullet) Expanding into Licensed Apparel Business to Complement Activewear
Business. Tultex's 1992 acquisitions of Logo 7, a marketer of
licensed sports apparel, and Universal Industries, Inc., a
marketer of sports and entertainment licensed headwear, enabled
the Company to achieve the fourth largest market share in the
higher-margin licensed apparel business in 1993, and have created
opportunities for significant manufacturing and distribution
synergies with the Company's activewear business. The promotion
of the Logo Athletic brand of licensed apparel through television
and print advertising, as well as promotional arrangements
featuring Dallas Cowboys' quarterback Troy Aikman, San Francisco
49ers' quarterback Steve Young, Miami Dolphins' quarterback Dan
Marino, the Chicago Black Hawks' Chris Chelios and the Washington
Bullets' Chris Webber, among others, has helped to increase the
visibility and sales of Logo Athletic products.

(bullet) Increasing Distribution Channels and Strengthening Customer
Relationships. Tultex actively pursues strong relationships with
department, sporting goods and other specialty stores, such as
Sears, JC Penney, Modell's, Dillard's, Foot Locker, Champs and
Sports Authority, to distribute its higher margin branded and
private label products. In addition, the Company continues to
strengthen its relationships with high volume retailers such as
Wal-Mart, Kmart and Target through private label and Tultex
products. Tultex strives to provide its customers with
exceptional service support; for example, its distribution
capabilities are highly responsive to customers' changing
delivery and inventory management requirements.

The Company's activewear business is vertically integrated, spinning
approximately 80-85% of the yarn it requires in three yarn plants located
in North Carolina (the balance is purchased under yarn supply contracts)
and knitting, dyeing and cutting fabric and sewing finished goods in 11
plants in Virginia and North Carolina and one plant in Jamaica. The
Company's licensed sports operations are conducted from one plant in
Indiana and one plant in Massachusetts.

Industry

The Company produces activewear and licensed apparel and headwear for sale
at a broad range of price points through all major distribution channels.

Activewear

The Company's activewear business consists of its fleecewear and jersey
products. All activewear industry and market share data included herein
has been estimated by the Company based on data provided by Market Research
Corporation of America, a leading provider of market information on the
textile industry.

Fleecewear. The fleecewear industry, with retail sales of approximately
$9.1 billion in 1993, has grown 12.8% in unit sales from 1989 to 1993 and
has experienced a 3.1% compound annual growth rate in unit sales during
this period. The predominant fleecewear products are sweatshirts and
bottoms.

The basic fleecewear industry is characterized by:

(bullet) low fashion risk - although fashion detailing changes often, basic
garment styles are not driven by trends or fads;

(bullet) long-term growth - industry sales volume is estimated to have grown
from 697.4 million units in 1989 to 786.9 million units in 1993, though
this growth has been punctuated with periodic downturns related to
external events such as reduced retailer commitment for activewear
during the Gulf War and the lower consumer demand prevailing in late
1993 to early 1994;

(bullet) entry by well-financed acquirors - new entrants have been attracted by
the industry's long-term growth and have been able to make the large
initial capital investments for manufacturing;

(bullet) barriers to entry - barriers include large required capital
investments, and growing importance of brand-name recognition and
established customer relationships; and

(bullet) low threat of imports - the low labor portion of the cost of
manufacturing fleecewear and the short delivery times required for
inventory control by retail customers reduce the threat of competition
from imports.

Sales of fleeced apparel experienced significant growth during the late
1970s and 1980s due to the increased pursuit of physical fitness and active
lifestyles and the related rise in popularity and acceptance of
sweatshirts, jersey apparel and other types of athletic clothing as
"streetwear." Moreover, fleecewear products have registered significant
improvements in fabric weights, blends, quality of construction, size,
style, and color availability over the past few years, which has
contributed to this growth in demand. In particular, garments are sized
larger and typically use heavier, more shrink-resistant fabrics. In
addition, acrylic-dominant blends have been supplanted by polyester-
dominant and cotton-dominant blends. Despite these upgrades in product
specifications, retail prices have remained relatively flat in real terms
due to improvements in manufacturing technology and competitive pressures.

Fleecewear exhibits a marked seasonality. For example, over the past three
fiscal years, an average of 72% of the Company's fleecewear unit sales have
occurred in the third and fourth quarters.

Jersey (Outerwear T-shirts). Unit retail sales of jersey products has
grown 32.6% over the past five years and in 1993 totaled $6.7 billion, or
66 million units. Like fleecewear, the industry characteristics of jersey
apparel include low fashion risk and long-term growth. Imports are a
greater threat as the weight/labor ratio and the freight costs involved are
lower for jersey products than for fleecewear; however, the ability to
produce large volumes with short delivery times gives domestic
manufacturers an advantage over import competition in both fleecewear and
jersey apparel.

Industry Makeup and Retail Channels. In 1993, the five largest fleece
manufacturers together accounted for an estimated 26.7% of the branded
market in the fleecewear industry. The retail jersey industry also is
fragmented. The activewear industry has been characterized since the 1980s
by the acquisition of existing competitors by larger companies with
substantial financial resources and manufacturing and distribution
capabilities. These factors and the resulting price reductions and
inventory build-ups have adversely affected participants in the activewear
industry, including Tultex, particularly with respect to the fleecewear
industry. In response, several competitors announced reductions in
fleecewear manufacturing capacity during 1993 and 1994. While fleeced
apparel pricing has improved and inventory levels have recovered to more
typical levels in the second half of 1994, there can be no assurance that
these market conditions will continue. Fleecewear is distributed through
department stores, chain stores and sporting goods stores, although mass
merchandisers, wholesale clubs, and other discount retailers represent a
dominant and growing percentage of the total fleecewear market.

Competitive Factors. The Company believes that price and quality are the
primary factors in consumer purchasing decisions. Brand name is often a
proxy for quality; as a result, those companies with brand name recognition
enjoy increased sales from this competitive advantage, as mass
merchandisers, department store chains, and wholesale clubs are requiring
more branded than private label activewear.

Licensed Apparel

Estimated wholesale sales of professional sports licensed apparel
(including headwear) for 1993 were approximately $1.9 billion, according to
Sports Style Magazine, an industry publication. In general, the Company
believes that the prospects for its continued growth in this market are
good, although growth is expected to be less rapid than in recent years due
to increased competition. The continually changing fortunes of existing
teams, together with the introduction of new franchises, has made the
market extremely dynamic, as interest in each team fluctuates with its
performance. Manufacturers, such as the Company, with the capacity to
respond quickly to these changes with new products and designs, enjoy a
competitive advantage over smaller competitors. The MLB players' strike
and the NHL lockout, which was settled on January 13, 1995, have adversely
affected sales of items bearing these marks, and the MLB players' strike
will continue to adversely affect sales of MLB products until this dispute
is resolved. The Company expects that consumer demand for NHL products
and, once play resumes, MLB products will rebound, but may recover slowly.
There can be no assurance that the MLB dispute will be resolved in the near
future or that sales of MLB and NHL products will increase or return to
prior levels.

Industry Makeup and Retail Channels. The industry has expanded rapidly
over the past three years, with the professional sports leagues granting
large numbers of licenses. With this proliferation of licenses, individual
competitor's sales growth slowed, though the top companies continued to
gain market share. After giving effect to industry consolidation,
management estimates that at the end of 1993, the top four companies would
have accounted for approximately 65% of the market, with Starter
Corporation, VF Corporation (Nutmeg Mills, Inc. and H.H. Cutler Sports
Apparel), Fruit of the Loom (Artex, Salem Sportswear and Pro Player) and
Tultex accounting for approximately 19.2%, 18.0%, 15.0% and 13.7% of
wholesale industry sales in 1993, respectively, according to Sports Style
Magazine. No other company had more than 10% of the market. Imports of
finished goods purchased by retailers directly or through import companies
do not represent a significant factor in the industry as a whole, since
there are no foreign licensees. However, all of the larger domestic
companies competing in the market do use significant off-shore sourcing of
finished outerwear goods. Licensed apparel products are generally sold
through the same retail channels as activewear.

Competitive Factors. There are significant barriers to entering the
licensed sports apparel industry and expanding such a business to
significant size. After expanding the number of licensees rapidly in
recent years, the licensing associations have begun to consolidate their
relationships with existing manufacturers and appear less likely to enter
into licensing agreements with new entrants. New entrants would be
required to devote considerable resources to developing their product mix
and sales and distribution capabilities to compete effectively. Like the
activewear industry, the licensed apparel industry has been characterized
in recent years by the acquisition of existing competitors by larger
companies with substantial financial resources and manufacturing and
distribution capabilities, such as VF Corporation, which acquired Nutmeg
Mills, Inc. in 1994, Fruit of the Loom, Inc.'s acquisition of Salem
Sportswear, Inc. in 1993, and Nike's acquisition of Sports Specialties,
Inc. in 1993.

Company Products

Activewear

The principal activewear products of the Company are fleeced knitwear items
such as sweatshirts, jogging suits, hooded jackets, headwear and jersey
apparel for work and casual wear. The Company manufactures apparel
products principally under the Discus Athletic and Tultex brands. Products
carrying the Discus Athletic name are marketed for sale to chains such as
Foot Locker, department stores such as Sears and sporting goods stores,
while Tultex products are marketed for sale to mass merchandisers such as
Wal-Mart and wholesale clubs such as Sam's. The Company is licensed to
manufacture and market adult fleecewear under the Britannia trademark
owned by Levi Strauss & Co. The Company also manufactures private-label
products for sale under many labels, including Nike, Levi Strauss, Reebok
and Pro Spirit.

Licensed Apparel and Headwear

The Company's licensed products include jackets, sweats, T-shirts,
baseball-style caps and other headwear, embroidered or imprinted with
professional and college sports and entertainment-related licensed designs
and logos. These products are marketed under the Logo Athletic and Logo 7
brands. Under the Logo Athletic name, the Company offers premium-quality
jackets, caps and other activewear, including NFL "Pro-Line" authentic
sideline gear and NBA "Authentics" apparel. Tultex, through Logo 7,
acquired Pro-Line status from the NFL in 1993, a flagship program entitling
the Company to sell products identical to those worn on the sidelines by
NFL players and coaches. Under the terms of the four-year contract, the
Company markets Pro-Line products at retail for all 30 NFL teams. NBA
"Authentics" products are identical to those worn by players, coaches and
managers during competition. The Company's NFL Pro-Line and NBA Authentics
products prominently feature the Logo Athletic name and trademark, which
the Company believes are key elements in developing the Logo Athletic
brand. Under the Logo 7 brand, the Company offers moderately-priced
outerwear, fleecewear, T-shirts and caps with licensed designs and logos.
The Company also sells popularly-priced licensed fleecewear, jersey apparel
and headwear.

Customers; Marketing and Sales

Customers

The Company offers a diverse product line for sale at a full range of price
points through all major distribution channels. Customers include chain
stores such as Foot Locker, department stores such as Sears and J.C.
Penney, sporting goods stores, and mass merchandisers such as Target, Wal-
Mart and Kmart. The Company's higher-quality fleecewear and jersey
products, including the Company's premium Discus Athletic and Logo Athletic
brands, are sold primarily through department and specialty stores and
mail-order distribution channels rather than through mass merchandisers and
wholesale clubs, thereby enabling Tultex to enhance the image of these
branded and private label products and achieve higher margins. The Tultex
and Logo 7 brands are marketed to a broader range of channels, including
mass merchandisers and wholesale clubs that compete more on price than
brand. While no single customer accounted for more than 10% of sales in
the first three quarters of 1994, the Company's top four customers together
accounted for approximately 28% of sales. The following chart details the
distribution channels for the Company's branded products.

Marketing and Sales

The Company has shifted its marketing strategy in recent years to focus on
the development of its own brands and sales through distribution channels
that support higher margins. In particular, the Company has devoted
significant resources to the promotion of its Discus Athletic and Logo
Athletic brands.

In 1993, the Company began conducting advertising campaigns to promote its
Discus Athletic and Logo Athletic brands. The Discus Athletic advertising
campaign emphasizes quality and the usefulness of the product for many
sports. The Company believes that this positioning effectively
differentiates the Discus Athletic line from competing specialized lines
with powerful brand associations. To reinforce the association of the
brand with competitive athletics, Discus Athletic sponsors ESPN's college
football and basketball programs, ABC's college basketball program and
Atlantic Coast Conference and Big 10 basketball. Print advertising has
appeared in Sports Illustrated, Street & Smith's, Details, Gentleman's
Quarterly and Rolling Stone. The Company believes these placements are
particularly effective in reaching college sports enthusiasts, an important
part of the Company's target market.

The Logo Athletic campaign focuses on establishing the "authenticity" of
Logo Athletic products. The Company believes that licensed apparel sales
benefit substantially from the perception that products are the same as
those worn by professional sports stars. Logo Athletic acquired NFL Pro-
Line status in 1993. To provide visibility and reinforce this
authenticity, the Company provided sideline garments and caps prominently
featuring the Logo Athletic trademark for five NFL teams in 1994, the Green
Bay Packers, Indianapolis Colts, Los Angeles Rams, Phoenix Cardinals and
Tampa Bay Buccaneers, as well as for several NFL All-Pro players, such as
San Francisco 49ers' quarterback Steve Young, Miami Dolphins' quarterback
Dan Marino and Green Bay Packers' defensive lineman Reggie White. The "Get
Real" series of television advertisements features Dallas Cowboys'
quarterback Troy Aikman, NBA star Chris Webber and NHL All-Star Chris
Chelios, all wearing Logo Athletic gear and encouraging consumers to "Get
Real" with Logo Athletic. The Company participates in the NBA Authentics
program and provides ball-boy garments featuring the Logo Athletic
trademark to the Boston Celtics, Denver Nuggets, Indiana Pacers and
Minnesota Timberwolves for use during games. The Company also has become
recognized as a prominent designer and supplier of distinctive "locker
room" caps bearing championship team logos and carrying the highly visible
Logo Athletic trademark.

Advertising expenditures were $12.3 million and $17.1 million in 1993 and
1994, respectively, of which $10.0 million and $14.7 million, respectively,
were expensed in those years. The advertising expense budget for 1995 is
$21.8 million.

New product introductions are important to the Company's licensed apparel
business and are undertaken to generate consumer excitement and demand.
Logo 7's creative design team, in cooperation with key customers and
licensors, continually develops and introduces new products and styles.
For example, the "shark's tooth" design featured on certain Logo Athletic
caps and jackets has been extremely successful and is in high demand. The
Company is able to react quickly to changing team fortunes, designing new
products to capitalize on shifts in popularity and delivering those
products to the market rapidly, sometimes in a matter of hours. During
major professional and collegiate sporting events, such as the Super Bowl,
the Company produces on-site decorated products with championship logos of
the winning teams for immediate distribution and sale at the event.

The Company's marketing methods for other products are typical of producers
of basic clothing products. Its merchandising department keeps abreast of
current fashionable styles and colors. After internal reviews by
manufacturing departments, selected customers preview and comment upon
prototype garments before the merchandising department determines those to
be presented in sales catalogs. Production is planned on orders received
and anticipated customer orders for these garments.

As of December 31, 1994, Tultex operated a sales office in each of New
York, Boston, Chicago, Seattle, Orlando and Los Angeles and a Discus
Athletic showroom in New York City. These offices are the primary points
of contact for customers and coordinate sales, distribution of sales
information, certain advertising, point-of-sale displays and customer
service. The Company also employs eight independent sales representatives
to market its Discus Athletic line in the fragmented sporting goods market.
Logo 7's products are marketed through a sales force of 50 people,
including Logo 7 employees and independent sales representatives. In 1992,
the Company entered into an agreement with Nissan Trading Co., Ltd., a
subsidiary of Nissan Motor Co., to market and sell the Company's products
in Japan. While international sales were immaterial in 1994, this venture
experienced strong sales growth over the prior year.

At December 31, 1994, Dominion Stores, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary,
operated 14 outlet stores in North Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia,
which sell surplus Company apparel and apparel items of other
manufacturers, and operated 32 The Sweatshirt Company retail stores in 19
states, which primarily sell first-quality Company-made products and
accessories. Dominion Stores' total sales in the first nine months of 1994
were approximately $12 million.

Licenses

Most of the Company's licensed products are sold through Logo 7. The
Company is a "super" licensee of professional sports apparel, maintaining a
full complement of licenses with all of the major North American
professional sports leagues -- the NFL, MLB, the NBA and the NHL -- and the
Collegiate Licensing Company. The Company also holds licenses for World
Cup Soccer 1994, NASCAR, the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta and
entertainment-related products. These licenses require the payment of
royalties ranging from 5% to 15% of sales with annual guaranteed royalties
aggregating approximately $11.5 million. The Company's major licenses with
the NFL, NBA and NHL expire in 1997 and the MLB license expires in 1995.
The Company is licensed to manufacture and market adult fleecewear under
the Britannia trademark owned by Levi Strauss & Co.

The Company's ability to compete is dependent on its ability to obtain and
renew licenses, particularly those from the major professional sports
leagues. The Company enjoys long-standing relationships with its major
league licensees, having been awarded its first licenses with the NFL in
1971, with the NBA in 1977, with MLB in 1980 and with the NHL in 1988. The
Company has no reason to believe that it will not be able to successfully
renew these licenses. While the Company has enjoyed long, successful and
uninterrupted licensing relationships with its professional and collegiate
athletic licensors, if a significant license or licenses were not renewed
or replaced, the Company's sales would likely be materially and adversely
affected. In addition, the Company's material licenses are non-exclusive
and new or existing competitors may obtain similar licenses.

Manufacturing

Because consumer value is a key competitive factor in the activewear
industry, Tultex has focused on being a low-cost producer of quality goods.
The Company pursues this goal through cost reduction measures, plant
modernization and improvement of garment characteristics, such as
increasing the range of garment sizes, cloth weight, durability, style and
comfort to meet consumer demands.

Implementation of modern information systems and inventory cost control
measures have allowed the closing or sale of several costlier, less
efficient plants, including the Company's December 1994 sale of its yarn
production plant in Rockingham, North Carolina. Savings are achieved
through lower average production costs in the more modern facilities and
higher capacity utilization in the remaining plants.

The Company's manufacturing process consists of: yarn production; fabric
construction including knitting, dyeing and finishing operations; apparel
manufacturing including cutting and sewing operations; and, for garments
with logos, screenprint and embroidery operations. As a result of its
modernization efforts, the Company believes that its manufacturing
facilities are outfitted with some of the most efficient and
technologically-advanced equipment in the industry.

Between January 1, 1988 and October 1, 1994, the Company invested
approximately $189 million to open new facilities, including sewing
facilities in Roanoke, Virginia and Montego Bay, Jamaica (a leased
facility), and the highly automated customer service center in
Martinsville, Virginia, and to modernize other facilities. Open-end
spinning frames were acquired to increase yarn production and reduce costs,
higher color quality and lower dyeing costs were achieved from the
installation of new jet dyeing equipment, new dryers were added in the
fabric finishing process, automated cutting machines were introduced, and
new information systems were implemented.

Tultex's highly-automated customer service center, opened in 1991, has
greatly expanded the Company's distribution capabilities. The customer
service center allows the Company to package and ship its products
according to the more detailed color, size and quantity specifications
typically required by high-margin retailers and department stores and has
permitted consolidation of the Company's warehouses. However, the customer
service center currently is underutilized during the first half of the year
and has significantly contributed to the Company's fixed costs. Management
believes that its strategy of increasing sales of higher-margin retail
products, which require more sophisticated packaging, will result in
improved utilization of the customer service center.

In spring 1992, Logo 7 moved its operations to a newly-constructed, leased
facility built to Logo 7's specifications. This 650,000 square foot
building allowed Logo 7 to centralize operations, increase inventory
control, improve material flow and will allow for future expansion.

Tultex manufactures yarn at three facilities located in North Carolina,
which have a combined production capacity of 1.3 million pounds per week,
utilizing modern, open-end spinning frames. For its knitting operations,
Tultex operates approximately 500 modern high-speed, latch-needle circular
knitting machines, which produce various types of fabrics. The Company
believes its dyeing operations are among the most modern and
technologically efficient in the industry; dyeing operations are computer-
controlled, allowing precise duplication of dyeing procedures to ensure
"shade repeatability" and color-fast properties. The finishing operations
employ mechanical squeezing and steaming equipment.

The Martinsville cutting facility uses advanced Bierrebi automatic
continuous cutting machines with computer-controlled hydraulic die-cutting
heads and "lay-up" machines and high-speed reciprocating knives. Sewing
production at the Company's nine sewing facilities is organized on an
assembly-line basis.

The Company has incorporated sophisticated systems into several key areas
of the manufacturing process. The Company relies on a knitting ticket
system to track and report the manufacturing process from yarn inventory
through the knitting of individual rolls of fabric into greige cloth
storage. From this point, the shop floor control module of the Cullinet
manufacturing system monitors and reports the movement of each production
lot through the operations of dyeing, finishing, cutting and sewing. Each
sewing plant then electronically transmits an advance shipping notice to
the automated customer service center so the distribution planning module
at the center can plan the arrival and storage/packing of the sewn
garments. Frontier knitting monitor systems, cutting production systems,
and sewing production systems use computer-based data collection on each
knitting, cutting, and sewing machine to monitor machine and operator
efficiency, data that is useful for quality control, incentive-based
payroll data, and production management information.

The Company decorates its unfinished licensed apparel products using
screenprinting or embroidery at Logo 7's facilities in Indianapolis and
Universal's facilities in Massachusetts. It uses automatic silkscreen
machines and dryers for longer runs and hand-operated presses for shorter
or more complicated runs. The embroidering is carried out using high-
speed, computerized stitching equipment. The Company believes its graphics
and creative design capabilities help to distinguish its products from
those of its competitors.

The Company's order backlog at December 31, 1993 was approximately $67
million and at October 1, 1994 was approximately $163 million. Backlogs
are computed from orders on hand at the last day of each fiscal period.
The Company believes that due to the seasonality of the Company's business
and the just-in-time nature of much of the Company's sales, order backlogs
are not a reliable indicator of future sales volume.

Raw Materials

The Company's principal raw materials for the production of activewear are
cotton and polyester. Cotton content in fleecewear typically is 50% and in
jersey apparel typically is 100%. The Company is producing increasing
amounts of fleecewear containing 90-100% cotton. Fleecewear and jersey
manufacturers are extremely sensitive to fluctuations in cotton and
polyester prices as these materials represent approximately 30% of the
manufacturing cost of the product. In addition, the Company is indirectly
impacted by increasing costs of raw materials in its licensed apparel
business because the Company purchases finished goods containing cotton and
polyester and these higher raw materials costs often are effectively passed
on to the Company. Cotton prices increased significantly (approximately
22%) in the first nine months of 1994 over its 1993 level. The Company
expects cotton and polyester prices to continue to rise somewhat in 1995.
For the first nine months of 1994 the Company's average price per pound of
cotton was $0.73, compared with $0.60 in 1993, and the average price per
pound of polyester was $0.63 for the same period in 1993, compared with
$0.67 in 1994. In 1995, Tultex expects to use approximately 60 million
pounds of raw cotton and 20 million pounds of polyester staple in its
manufacture of fleecewear and jersey apparel. Tultex makes advance
purchases of raw cotton based on projected demand. The Company has
purchased substantially all of its raw cotton needs for 1995 and has fixed
the price on approximately 30% of such cotton.

Trademarks

The Company increasingly promotes and relies upon its trademarks, including
Discus Athletic, Logo Athletic, Tultex, and Logo 7, which are registered in
the United States and many foreign countries.

Seasonality

The Company's business is seasonal. The majority of fleecewear sales occur
in the third and fourth quarters, coinciding with cooler weather and the
playing seasons of popular professional and college sports. Jersey sales
peak in the second and third quarters of the year, somewhat offsetting the
seasonality of fleecewear sales.

Environmental Matters

The Company is subject to various federal, state and local environmental
laws and regulations governing, among other things, the discharge, storage,
handling and disposal of a variety of hazardous and nonhazardous substances
and wastes used in or resulting from its operations, including, but not
limited to, the Water Pollution Control Act, as amended; the Clean Air Act,
as amended; the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended; the
Toxic Substances Control Act, as amended; and the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended.

The Company returns dyeing wastes for treatment to the City of
Martinsville, Virginia's municipal wastewater treatment systems operated
pursuant to a permit issued by the state. The city has filed a timely
application to renew its permit. In 1989, the city adopted a plan for
removing the coloration, caused by the dye wastes, from the water by using
polymer chemicals to combine with the extremely small particles of the dye
to create a sludge-like substance that can be retrieved from the water at
the city's wastewater treatment plant and disposed of as a non-hazardous
waste in the city's landfill. To cover the cost to the city, the Company
pays 50 to 80 cents per thousand gallons of water above regular water
costs. The expenditures required do not have a material effect on the
Company's earnings or competitive position.

The Company's operations also are governed by laws and regulations relating
to employee safety and health, principally the Occupational Safety and
Health Act and regulations thereunder, which, among other things, establish
exposure limitations for cotton dust, formaldehyde, asbestos and noise, and
regulate chemical and ergonomic hazards in the workplace.

The Company believes that it is in material compliance with the
aforementioned laws and regulations and does not expect that future
compliance will have a material adverse effect on its capital expenditures,
earnings or competitive position in the foreseeable future. However, there
can be no assurances that environmental and other legal requirements will
not become more stringent in the future or that the Company will not incur
significant costs in the future to comply with such requirements.

Litigation

The Company is not currently a party to any legal proceedings the result of
which it believes could have a material adverse impact on its business or
financial condition.

Employees

The Company had approximately 6,933 employees at December 31, 1994, of
which 6,043 or 87% were paid hourly.

In August 1994, hourly employees at the Company's Martinsville, Virginia
facilities voted for representation by the Amalgamated Clothing and Textile
Workers Union. The Company currently is negotiating a labor contract with
the union, which would cover all hourly employees at the Martinsville
facilities. As of December 31, 1994, the Company's approximately 2,200
hourly employees in Martinsville accounted for approximately 32% of the
Company's total employees and approximately 36% of the Company's hourly
employees. See "Certain Considerations -- Unionization of Hourly Workers
at Martinsville Facilities." None of the Company's other employees are
represented by a union. The following table summarizes the approximate
number of employees in the Company's principal divisions at December 31,
1994 and January 1, 1994.

Employment Contracts and Employment Continuity Agreements

The Company has entered into employment continuity agreements with John M.
Franck, Charles W. Davies, Jr., B. Alvin Ratliff, John J. Smith, and Don P.
Shook, which provide for their continued employment in the event of a
change in control of the Company and the payment of compensation and
benefits if their employment is terminated following a change in control.
The Board of Directors believes that these agreements will enable key
employees to conduct the Company's business with less concern for personal
economic risk when faced with a possible change in control. The Board
believes the agreements also should enhance the Company's ability to
attract new key executives as needed.

The agreements define "change in control" as occurring when a person
becomes the owner of 20% or more of the Company's voting securities or when
there is a change in a majority of the members of the Board of Directors,
direct or indirect, as a result of a cash tender or exchange offer, a
merger or other business combination, a sale of assets, a contested
election of directors or a combination of such transactions. Upon a change
in control, the Company agrees to continue the employee's employment with
responsibilities, compensation and benefits identical to or greater than
those prior to the change in control until the earlier of the third
anniversary following the change in control or the employee's normal
retirement date. If employment is terminated without cause by the Company
during this period, or if the employee voluntarily terminates employment
within six months after receiving lesser responsibilities, compensation or
benefits or after being relocated without his consent, and the employee has
made an offer to work that has been rejected by the Company, the Company
must pay the employee compensation as follows: (i) three times the
employee's annual base salary as of his termination date, (ii) three times
the employee's average incentive bonus payable for the two fiscal years
prior to the termination date, (iii) cash or property due as a result of
exercise of stock options, and (iv) amounts the employee is entitled to
receive under the Company's tax-qualified benefit plans and, at the
employee's expense, health care coverage under welfare plans. This
compensation will be reduced, if necessary, to assure that any payments
would not be "excess parachute payments" under the Internal Revenue Code,
which imposes significant penalties on payments under such severance
agreements which equal or exceed 300% of an employee's average annual
compensation during the five most recent taxable years ending prior to a
change in control. The Company must pay all legal fees and expenses
incurred by the employee in seeking to obtain these benefits. All
agreements continue in effect from year to year unless the Company notifies
the employee before an anniversary date that the agreement will terminate.
The Company has entered into similar arrangements with other members of
management.

Retirement Plan

The Company maintains for the benefit of its eligible employees a defined
benefit pension plan qualified under section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue
Code. The following table illustrates annual retirement benefits payable
under the plan at the indicated final average compensation and credited
service levels, assuming retirement at age 65 in 1995.

Annual retirement benefits payable for continuous service of
Final Average Compensation 10 years 20 years 30 years 40 years

$100,000 $10,380 $20,760 $31,140 $36,140
150,000 16,380 32,760 49,140 56,640
200,000 22,380 44,760 67,140 77,140
250,000 28,380 56,760 85,140 97,640
300,000 34,380 68,760 103,140 118,140

Benefits are paid to plan participants based on their final average
compensation (as limited according to federal tax laws), years of credited
service with the Company, and the amount of covered compensation (as
determined by Social Security). Benefits under the Retirement Plan are not
subject to any deduction for Social Security or other offset amounts.
Under current federal tax law, in 1995 compensation in excess of $150,000
may not be taken into account for purposes of accruing benefits under the
Retirement Plan.

Generally, on the occurrence of a "change in control," all plan
participants will immediately become fully vested (regardless of their
credited service) in any accrued benefits under the plan. All assets of
the plan, including any assets in excess of the present value of the plan's
liabilities, will be allocated among the plan participants as additional
nonforfeitable benefits. This plan defines a "change in control" as
occurring when a person becomes the owner of more than 20% of the Company's
voting securities or when there is a change in the majority of the Board of
Directors, direct or indirect, as a result of a cash tender offer or
exchange offer, a merger other than a business combination, a sale of
assets, a contested election of directors or a combination of such
transactions.

The number of credited years of service as of December 31, 1994 for each
person named in the Summary Compensation Table are as follows: John M.
Franck -- 18 years, Charles W. Davies, Jr. -- 18 years, B. Alvin Ratliff
26 years, John J. Smith -- 10 years and Don P. Shook -- 19 years.

The Company maintains a supplemental benefit plan to provide key management
personnel who have satisfied the eligibility requirements with supplemental
retirement benefits, including a retirement benefit which, when aggregated
with the benefits available under the retirement plan, is equivalent to 50%
of their final average earnings for 30 years of service. The eligibility
requirements include being 100% vested under the retirement plan. The
majority of this benefit will be funded through the retirement plan, with
the balance being funded by the Company through a supplemental nonqualified
program which is funded through the purchase of life insurance policies on
each covered individual. Benefits under the supplemental benefit plan are
fully vested after five years of service. The estimated annual benefits
under the supplemental benefit plan for each officer named in the Summary
Compensation Table as of December 31, 1994 are as follows: John M. Franck
-- $41,459, Charles W. Davies, Jr. -- $41,729, B. Alvin Ratliff -- $52,332,
John J. Smith -- $12,605 and Don P. Shook -- $30,408.

Description of the Notes

The Notes are to be issued under an Indenture, to be dated as of _______,
1995 (the "Indenture"), among the Company, the Guarantors and First Union
National Bank of Virginia, as Trustee (the "Trustee"). The Indenture is
subject to and governed by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the
"Trust Indenture Act"). The statements under this caption relating to the
Notes, the Guarantees and the Indenture are summaries and do not purport to
be complete, and where reference is made to particular provisions of the
Indenture, such provisions, including the definitions of certain terms, are
incorporated by reference as a part of such summaries or terms, which are
qualified in their entirety by such reference. A copy of the proposed form
of Indenture has been filed with the Commission as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part.

General

The Notes will be general unsecured obligations of the Company, will be
limited to $115 million aggregate principal amount and will rank pari passu
in right of payment with all other indebtedness of the Company that is not,
by its terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes. The
Notes will be guaranteed on a joint and several basis by each of the
Guarantors pursuant to the Guarantees described below. The Guarantees will
be general unsecured obligations of the Guarantors and will rank pari passu
in right of payment with all other indebtedness of the Guarantors that is
not, by its terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the
Guarantees. At December 31, 1994, as adjusted to give effect to the
transactions described under "Use of Proceeds and Refinancing," the total
indebtedness of the Company, other than the Notes, would have been
approximately $222.6 million, none of which would have been subordinated to
the Notes. Secured creditors of the Company or any Guarantor will have a
claim on the assets which secure the obligations of the Company or such
Guarantor, as the case may be, prior to claims of holders of the Notes
against those assets. At December 31, 1994, as adjusted to give effect to
the transactions described under "Use of Proceeds and Refinancing," the
Company and the Guarantors had no secured indebtedness.

The Notes will mature on ________, 2005 and will bear interest at the rate
per annum shown on the front cover of this Prospectus from ________, 1995
or from the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been
paid or provided for. Interest will be payable semi-annually on June 15 and
December 15 of each year, commencing June 15, 1995, to the Person in whose
name a Note is registered at the close of business on the preceding June 1
or December 1 (each, a "Record Date"), as the case may be. Interest on the
Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months. Holders must surrender the Notes to the paying agent for the Notes
to collect principal payments. The Company will pay principal and interest
by check and will mail interest checks to a Holder's registered address.

The Notes will be issued only in fully registered form, without coupons, in
denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. No service
charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes,
but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Initially, the Trustee will act as paying agent and registrar for the
Notes. The Notes may be presented for Registration of transfer and
exchange at the offices of the registrar for the Notes.

Redemption

The Notes will be subject to redemption, at the option of the Company, in
whole or in part, at any time on or after ____________, 2000 and prior to
maturity, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice mailed to
each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at his address appearing in the
register for the Notes, in amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple of
$1,000, at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of
principal amount) plus accrued interest to but excluding the date fixed for
redemption (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant
Record Date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on
or prior to the date fixed for redemption), if redeemed during the 12-month
period beginning ______________ of the years indicated:

Year Redemption Price

. . . . . . . %
. . . . . . . %
. . . . . . . %

If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select, in
such manner as it shall deem fair and appropriate, the particular Notes to
be redeemed or any portion thereof that is an integral multiple of $1,000.

In addition, prior to _______, 1998, the Company may redeem up to
approximately 35% of the principal amount of the Notes with the cash
proceeds received by the Company from a public offering of capital stock of
the Company (other than Disqualified Stock), at a redemption price
(expressed as a percentage of the principal amount) of ___% of the
principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date
fixed for redemption; provided, however, that at least $75 million in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes remains outstanding immediately
after any such redemption.

The Notes will not have the benefit of any sinking fund.

The Guarantees

Each of the Guarantors will unconditionally guarantee on a joint and
several basis all of the Company's obligations under the Notes, including
its obligations to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest with
respect to the Notes. The obligations of each Guarantor are limited to the
maximum amount which, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed
liabilities of such Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections
from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of
the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to
its contribution obligations under the Indenture, will result in the
obligations of such Guarantor under the Guarantee not constituting a
fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law.
Each Guarantor that makes a payment or distribution under a Guarantee shall
be entitled to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount pro
rata, based on the net assets of each Guarantor determined in accordance
with GAAP. Except as provided in "Certain Covenants" below, the Company is
not restricted from selling or otherwise disposing of any of the
Guarantors.

The Indenture will provide that each Subsidiary of the Company in existence
on the Issue Date and each Material Subsidiary whether formed or acquired
after the Issue Date will be a Guarantor, provided that, any Material
Subsidiary acquired after the Issue Date which is prohibited from entering
into a Guarantee pursuant to restrictions contained in any debt instrument
or other agreement in existence at the time such Material Subsidiary was so
acquired and not entered into in anticipation or contemplation of such
acquisition shall not be required to become a Guarantor so long as any such
restriction is in existence and to the extent of any such restriction.

The Indenture provides that if the Notes are defeased in accordance with
the terms of the Indenture, or if all or substantially all of the assets of
any Guarantor or all of the capital stock of any Guarantor is sold
(including by issuance or otherwise) by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries in a transaction constituting an Asset Disposition, and if (x)
the Net Available Proceeds from such Asset Disposition are used in
accordance with the covenant "Limitation on Certain Asset Dispositions" or
(y) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate to the
effect that the Net Available Proceeds from such Asset Disposition shall be
used in accordance with the covenant " Limitation on Certain Asset
Dispositions" and within the time limits specified by such covenant, then
such Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other disposition of all of the
capital stock of such Guarantor) or the corporation acquiring such assets
(in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of
the assets of such Guarantor) shall be released and discharged of its
Guarantee obligations.

Separate financial statements of the Guarantors are not included herein
because such Guarantors are jointly and severally liable with respect to
the Company's obligations pursuant to the Notes, and the aggregate net
assets, earnings and equity of the Guarantors and the Company are
substantially equivalent to the net assets, earnings and equity of the
Company on a consolidated basis.

Covenants

The Indenture contains, among others, the following covenants:

Limitation on Indebtedness

The Indenture will provide that the Company will not, and will not permit
any of its Subsidiaries to, Incur any Indebtedness except, subject to the
provisions set forth below under " Additional Limitation on Subsidiary
Indebtedness": (i) Indebtedness of the Company or its Subsidiaries, if
immediately after giving effect to the Incurrence of such Indebtedness and
the receipt and application of the net proceeds thereof, the Consolidated
Cash Flow Ratio of the Company for the four full fiscal quarters for which
quarterly or annual financial statements are available next preceding the
Incurrence of such Indebtedness, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such
Indebtedness had been incurred at the beginning of such four full fiscal
quarters, would be greater than 2.00 to 1 if such Indebtedness is Incurred
on or before December 31, 1997 and 2.25 to 1 if such Indebtedness is
Incurred after December 31, 1997; (ii) Indebtedness of the Company, and
guarantees of such Indebtedness by any Guarantor, Incurred under the Senior

Eligible Accounts Receivable and (B) 65% of Eligible Inventory; (iii)
Indebtedness owed by the Company to any Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the
Company (provided that such Indebtedness is at all times held by a Person
which is a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company) or Indebtedness owed by
a Subsidiary of the Company to the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of
the Company (provided that such Indebtedness is at all times held by the
Company or a Person which is a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company);
provided, however, upon either (x) the transfer or other disposition by
such Wholly Owned Subsidiary or the Company of any Indebtedness so
permitted under this clause (iii) to a Person other than the Company or
another Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company or (y) the issuance (other
than directors' qualifying shares), sale, transfer or other disposition of
shares of Capital Stock or other ownership interests (including by
consolidation or merger) of such Wholly Owned Subsidiary to a Person other
than the Company or another such Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company,
the provisions of this clause (iii) shall no longer be applicable to such
Indebtedness and such Indebtedness shall be deemed to have been Incurred at
the time of any such issuance, sale, transfer or other disposition, as the
case may be; (iv) Indebtedness incurred by a Person prior to the time (x)
such Person becomes a Subsidiary of the Company, (y) such Person merges
into or consolidates with a Subsidiary of the Company or (z) another
Subsidiary of the Company merges into or consolidates with such Person (in
a transaction in which such Person becomes a Subsidiary of the Company),
which Indebtedness was not Incurred in anticipation or contemplation of
such transaction and was outstanding prior to such transaction; (v)
Indebtedness of the Company or its Subsidiaries under any interest rate or
currency swap agreement to the extent entered into to hedge any other
Indebtedness permitted under the Indenture; (vi) Capital Lease Obligations

refund (collectively for purposes of this clause (vii) to "refund") any

the prior clause (i) or the Notes; provided, however, that (x) such
Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of Indebtedness so
refunded plus the amount of any premium required to be paid in connection
with such refunding pursuant to the terms of the Indebtedness refunded or
the amount of any premium reasonably determined by the Company as necessary
to accomplish such refunding by means of a tender offer, exchange offer, or
privately negotiated repurchase, plus the expenses of the Company or such
Subsidiary Incurred in connection therewith and (y)(A) in the case of any
refunding of Indebtedness which is pari passu with the Notes, such
refunding Indebtedness is made pari passu with or subordinate in right of
payment to the Notes, and, in the case of any refunding of Indebtedness
which is subordinate in right of payment to the Notes, such refunding
Indebtedness is subordinate in right of payment to the Notes on terms no
less favorable to the Holders then those contained in the Indebtedness
being refunded and (B) in either case, the refunding Indebtedness by its
terms, or by the terms of any agreement or instrument pursuant to which
such Indebtedness is issued, does not have an Average Life that is less
than the remaining Average Life of the Indebtedness being refunded and does
not permit redemption or other retirement (including pursuant to an offer
to purchase made by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company) of such
Indebtedness at the option of the holder thereof prior to the final stated
maturity of the Indebtedness being refunded, other than a redemption or
other retirement at the option of the holder of such Indebtedness
(including pursuant to an offer to purchase made by the Company or a
Subsidiary of the Company) which is conditioned upon a change of control of
the Company pursuant to provisions substantially similar to those contained
in the Indenture described under " Change of Control" below; (viii)
Indebtedness of the Company or its Subsidiaries Incurred for the purpose of
financing all or any part of the purchase price or the cost of construction

and any Lien associated with such Indebtedness complies with clause (iv) of
the "Limitation on Liens" covenant; (ix) Indebtedness of the Company or its
Subsidiaries, not otherwise permitted to be Incurred pursuant to clauses

(x) Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries under the Notes and
the Guarantees.

Additional Limitation on Subsidiary Indebtedness

The Indenture will provide that, notwithstanding the provisions of the
Indenture described under " Limitation on Indebtedness," the Company will
not permit any of its Subsidiaries to Incur any Indebtedness (other than
the guarantee of Indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facility) in an
amount which, when aggregated with (A) all Indebtedness (other than any
Indebtedness included in the following clause (B) or (C)) secured by Liens
permitted by the provisions of the Indenture described in clause (viii)
under " Limitation on Liens," (B) all Capital Lease Obligations of the

Limitation on Restricted Payments

The Indenture will provide that the Company will not, and will not permit
any of its Subsidiaries to, (i) directly or indirectly, declare or pay any
dividend, or make any distribution of any kind or character (whether in
cash, property or securities), in respect of any class of its Capital Stock
or to the holders thereof, excluding any (x) dividends or distributions
payable solely in shares of its Capital Stock (other than Disqualified

scheduled maturity, repayment or sinking fund payment, Indebtedness which
is subordinate in right of payment to the Notes (each of clauses (i)
through (iv) being a "Restricted Payment") if at the time thereof: (1) an
Event of Default, or an event that with the passing of time or giving of
notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, shall have occurred
and is continuing, or (2) upon giving effect to such Restricted Payment,
the Company could not incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness
pursuant to the terms of the Indenture described in clause (i) of "
Limitation on Indebtedness" above, or (3) upon giving effect to such

in which the Issue Date occurs through the last day of the fiscal quarter
for which financial statements are available; plus (b) 100% of the
aggregate net proceeds received after the Issue Date, including the fair

of the disposition or repayment of any Investment constituting a Restricted
Payment made after the Issue Date (other than any Investment made pursuant
to clause (vi) of the following paragraph), an amount equal to the lesser
of the return of capital with respect to such Investment and the cost of

the effect that, for purposes of this "Limitation on Restricted Payments"
covenant, such Investment constitutes a Restricted Payment made after the
Issue Date (other than an Investment made pursuant to clause (vi) of the
following paragraph); plus (d) $4 million.

The foregoing provision will not be violated by (i) reason of the payment

judgment evidenced by a resolution of such Board of Directors filed with
the Trustee, (v) the redemption of the Company's rights issued pursuant to
the Rights Agreement dated as of March 20, 1990, between the Company and
Sovran Bank, N.A., as Rights Agent, as in existence on the Issue Date or
(vi) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, additional Investments constituting Restricted Payments in an
aggregate outstanding amount (valued at the cost thereof) not to exceed at
any time 5% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets. Each Restricted Payment
described in clauses (i), (iv) and (v) of the previous sentence shall be
taken into account for purposes of computing the aggregate amount of all
Restricted Payments pursuant to clause (3) above.

Limitations Concerning Distributions and Transfers
by Subsidiaries

The Indenture will provide that the Company will not, and will not permit
any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise
cause or suffer to exist any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the

indirectly, dividends or make any other distributions in respect of its
Capital Stock or pay any Indebtedness or other obligation owed to the
Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, (ii) to make loans or advances to
the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company or (iii) to transfer any of
its property or assets to the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company
except for such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of
(a) any agreement in effect on the Issue Date, (b) an agreement relating to
any Indebtedness Incurred by such Subsidiary prior to the date on which
such Subsidiary was acquired by the Company and outstanding on such date
and not Incurred in anticipation or contemplation of becoming a Subsidiary
and provided such encumbrance or restriction shall not apply to any assets
of the Company or its Subsidiaries other than such Subsidiary, (c)
customary provisions contained in an agreement which has been entered into
for the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Capital
Stock or assets of such Subsidiary, or (d) an agreement effecting a
renewal, exchange, refunding or extension of Indebtedness incurred pursuant
to an agreement referred to in clause (a) or (b) above; provided, however,
that the provisions contained in such renewal, exchange, refunding or
extension agreement relating to such encumbrance or restriction are no more
restrictive in any material respect than the provisions contained in the
agreement the subject thereof in the reasonable judgment of the Board of
Directors of the Company as evidenced by a resolution of such Board of
Directors filed with the Trustee.

Limitation on Liens

The Indenture will provide that the Company will not, and will not permit
any of its Subsidiaries to, Incur any Lien on or with respect to any
property or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company now
owned or hereafter acquired to secure Indebtedness without making, or
causing such Subsidiary to make, effective provision for securing the Notes
(and, if the Company shall so determine, any other Indebtedness of the
Company or such Subsidiary, including Indebtedness which is subordinate in
right of payment to the Notes, provided, that Liens securing the Notes and
any Indebtedness pari passu with the Notes are senior to such Liens
securing such subordinated Indebtedness) equally and ratably with such
Indebtedness or, in the event such Indebtedness is subordinate in right of
payment to the Notes, prior to such Indebtedness, as to such property or
assets for so long as such Indebtedness shall be so secured. The foregoing
restrictions shall not apply to (i) Liens in respect of Indebtedness
existing on the Issue Date; (ii) Liens securing only the Notes; (iii) Liens
in favor of the Company; (iv) Liens to secure Indebtedness Incurred for the
purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or the cost of

a Lien does not exceed 100% of such purchase price or cost, (b) such Lien
does not extend to or cover any other property other than such item of
property and any improvements on such item, (c) the Indebtedness secured by
such Lien is incurred by the Company or its Subsidiary within 180 days of
the acquisition, construction or improvement of such property and (d) the
incurrence of such Indebtedness is permitted by the provisions of the
Indenture described under " Limitation on Indebtedness"; (v) Liens on
property existing immediately prior to the time of acquisition thereof (and
not created in anticipation or contemplation of the financing of such
acquisition); (vi) Liens on property of a Person existing at the time such
Person is merged with or into or consolidated with the Company or any
Subsidiary of the Company (and not created in anticipation or contemplation
thereof); (vii) Liens on property of the Company or any Subsidiary of the

property and the principal amount of Indebtedness so secured is not
increased except for the amount of any premium required to be paid in
connection with such refinancing pursuant to the terms of the Indebtedness
refinanced or the amount of any premium reasonably determined by the
Company as necessary to accomplish such refinancing by means of a tender
offer, exchange offer or privately negotiated repurchase, plus the expenses
of the Company or such Subsidiary incurred in connection with such
refinancing.

Limitation on Certain Asset Dispositions

The Indenture will provide that the Company will not, and will not permit
any of its Subsidiaries to, make one or more Asset Dispositions for
aggregate consideration of, or in respect of assets having an aggregate
fair market value of, $5 million or more in any 12-month period, unless:
(i) the Company or the Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives
consideration for such Asset Disposition at least equal to the fair market
value of the assets sold or disposed of as determined by the Board of
Directors of the Company in good faith and evidenced by a resolution of
such Board of Directors filed with the Trustee; (ii) not less than 75% of
the consideration for the disposition consists of cash or readily
marketable cash equivalents or the assumption of Indebtedness of the
Company or such Subsidiary or other obligations relating to such assets
(and release of the Company or such Subsidiary from all liability on the
Indebtedness or other obligations assumed); and (iii) all Net Available
Proceeds, less any amounts invested within 360 days of such Asset
Disposition in assets related to the business of the Company (including the
Capital Stock of another Person (other than the Company or any Person that
is a Subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to such investment)
provided that immediately after giving effect to any such investment (and
not prior thereto) such Person shall be a Subsidiary of the Company), are
applied either (i) to an Offer to Purchase outstanding Notes at 100% of
their principal amount or (ii) to the permanent reduction and repayment of
Indebtedness then outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility, to the
repayment of other Indebtedness that is not subordinated in right of
payment to the Notes and to the purchase of Notes pursuant to an Offer to
Purchase outstanding Notes at 100% of their principal amount plus accrued
interest to the date of purchase, provided, that (x) any Net Available
Proceeds not applied to the repayment of Indebtedness under the Senior
Credit Facility or other Indebtedness not subordinated in right of payment
to the Notes in accordance with clause (ii) of this sentence shall be added
to the Net Available Proceeds to be used for an Offer to Purchase
outstanding Notes and (y) the Company may defer making any Offer to
Purchase outstanding Notes until there are aggregate unutilized Net
Available Proceeds equal to or in excess of $5 million resulting from one
or more Asset Dispositions (at which time, the entire unutilized Net
Available Proceeds, and not just the amount in excess of $5 million, shall
be applied as required pursuant to this paragraph). Any repayment of
Indebtedness in accordance with the previous sentence shall be made pro
rata, based on the principal amount (or, in the case of Indebtedness having
an amortized discount, the accredited value thereof) of such Indebtedness
outstanding. Any remaining Net Available Proceeds following the completion
of the Offer to Purchase may be used by the Company for any other purpose
(subject to the other provisions of the Indenture) and the amount of Net
Available Proceeds then required to be otherwise applied in accordance with
this covenant shall be reset to zero, subject to any subsequent Asset
Disposition. These provisions will not apply to a transaction consummated
in compliance with the provisions of the Indenture described under "
Mergers, Consolidations and Certain Sales and Purchases of Assets" and "
Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions" below.

In the event that the Company makes an Offer to Purchase the Notes, the
Company intends to comply with any applicable securities laws and
regulations, including any applicable requirements of Section 14(e) of, and
Rule 14e-1 under, the Exchange Act and any violation of the provisions of
the Indenture relating to such Offer to Purchase occurring as a result of
such compliance shall not be deemed an Event of Default or an event that
with the passing of time or giving of notice, or both, would constitute an
Event of Default.

Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions

The Indenture will provide that the Company will not, and will not permit
any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction
(except for a period not exceeding 30 months) unless the Company or such
Subsidiary applies the net proceeds of the property sold pursuant to the
Sale and Leaseback Transaction as if such net proceeds were Net Available
Proceeds subject to disposition as provided above under " Limitation on
Certain Asset Dispositions."

Limitation on Issuance and Sale of Capital
Stock of Subsidiaries

The Company (a) may not, and may not permit any Subsidiary of the Company
to, transfer, convey, sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of Capital
Stock of such Subsidiary or any other Subsidiary (other than to the Company
or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company) except that the Company and
any Subsidiary may, in any single transaction, sell all, but not less than
all, of the issued and outstanding Capital Stock of any Subsidiary to any
Person, subject to the conditions described above under " Limitation on
Certain Asset Dispositions" and (b) may not permit any Subsidiary of the
Company to issue shares of its Capital Stock (other than directors'
qualifying shares), or securities convertible into, or warrants, rights or
options to subscribe for or purchase shares of, its Capital Stock to any
Person other than to the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the
Company.

Transactions with Affiliates and Related Persons

The Indenture will provide that the Company will not, and will not permit
any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any transaction with an Affiliate or
Related Person of the Company (other than the Company or a Subsidiary of
the Company), including, without limitation, the purchase, sale, lease or
exchange of property, the rendering of any service, or the making of any
guarantee, loan, advance or Investment, either directly or indirectly,
involving aggregate consideration in excess of $500,000 unless (i) a
majority of the disinterested directors of the Board of Directors of the
Company determines, in its good faith judgment evidenced by a resolution of
such Board of Directors filed with the Trustee, that such transaction is in
the best interests of the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be;
and (ii) such transaction is, in the opinion of a majority of the
disinterested directors of the Board of Directors of the Company evidenced
by a resolution of such Board of Directors filed with the Trustee, on terms
no less favorable to the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be,
than those that could be obtained in a comparable arm's length transaction
with an entity that is not an Affiliate or a Related Person.

Change of Control

Within 30 days following the date of the consummation of a transaction
resulting in a Change of Control, the Company will commence an Offer to
Purchase all outstanding Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of their
principal amount plus accrued interest to the date of purchase. Such Offer
to Purchase will be consummated not earlier than 30 days and not later than
60 days after the commencement thereof. A "Change of Control" will be
deemed to have occurred in the event that (whether or not otherwise
permitted by the Indenture), after the Issue Date (a) any Person or any
Persons acting together that would constitute a group (for purposes of
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, or any successor provision thereto) (a
"Group"), together with any Affiliates or Related Persons thereof, shall
beneficially own (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, or any
successor provision thereto) at least 40% of the Voting Stock of the
Company; (b) any sale, lease or other transfer (in one transaction or a
series of related transactions) by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company to
any Person (other than a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company); (c)
Continuing Directors cease to constitute at least a majority of the Board
of Directors of the Company; or (d) the stockholders of the Company approve
any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

Provision of Financial Information

Whether or not the Company is subject to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act, or any successor provision thereto, the Company shall file
with the Commission the annual reports, quarterly reports and other
documents which the Company would have been required to file with the
Commission pursuant to such Section 13(a) or 15(d) or any successor
provision thereto if the Company were so required, such documents to be
filed with the Commission on or prior to the respective dates (the
"Required Filing Dates") by which the Company would have been required so
to file such documents if the Company were so required. The Company shall
also in any event (a) within 15 days of each Required Filing Date
(i) transmit by mail to all Holders, as their names and addresses appear in
the Note Register, without cost to such Holders, and (ii) file with the
Trustee, copies of the annual reports, quarterly reports and other
documents which the Company is required to file with the Commission
pursuant to the preceding sentence, and (b) if, notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, filing such documents by the Company with the
Commission is not permitted under the Exchange Act, promptly upon written
request supply copies of such documents to any prospective Holder.

Mergers, Consolidations and Certain
Sales and Purchases of Assets

Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary will consolidate or merge with or
into any Person, and the Company will not, and will not permit any of its
Subsidiaries to, sell, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or
substantially all of the Company's consolidated assets (as an entirety or
substantially an entirety in one transaction or a series of related
transactions, including by way of liquidation or dissolution) to, any
Person unless, in each such case: (i) the entity formed by or surviving
any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company or such
Subsidiary, as the case may be), or to which such sale, lease, conveyance
or other disposition shall have been made (the "Surviving Entity"), is a
corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any
state thereof or the District of Columbia; (ii) the Surviving Entity
assumes by supplemental indenture all of the obligations of the Company or
such Subsidiary, as the case may be, on the Notes or such Subsidiary's
Guarantee, as the case may be, and under the Indenture; (iii) immediately
after giving effect to such transaction and the use of any net proceeds
therefrom on a pro forma basis, the Consolidated Net Worth of the Company
or the Surviving Entity (in the case of a transaction involving the
Company), as the case may be, would be at least equal to the Consolidated
Net Worth of the Company immediately prior to such transaction; (iv)
immediately after giving effect to such transaction and the use of any net
proceeds therefrom on a pro forma basis, the Company or the Surviving
Entity (in the case of a transaction involving the Company), as the case
may be, could incur at least $1.00 of Indebtedness pursuant to clause (i)
of the "Limitation on Indebtedness" covenant; (v) immediately before and
after giving effect to such transaction and treating any Indebtedness which
becomes an obligation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a result
of such transaction as having been incurred by the Company or such
Subsidiary, as the case may be, at the time of the transaction, no Event of
Default or event that with the passing of time or the giving of notice, or
both, would constitute an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing; and (vi) if, as a result of any such transaction, property or
assets of the Company or a Subsidiary would become subject to a Lien not
excepted from the provisions of the Indenture described under " Limitation
on Liens" above, the Company, any such Subsidiary or the Surviving Entity,
as the case may be, shall have secured the Notes as required by said
covenant. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any merger
of a Subsidiary of the Company with or into the Company or a Wholly Owned
Subsidiary of the Company or any transaction pursuant to which a
Guarantor's Guarantee is to be released in accordance with the terms of the
Guarantee and the Indenture in connection with any transaction complying
with the provisions of the Indenture described under " Limitation on
Certain Asset Dispositions."

Events of Default

The following will be Events of Default under the Indenture: (a) failure
to pay principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Note when due; (b) failure
to pay any interest on any Note when due, continued for 30 days; (c)
default in the payment of principal of and interest on Notes required to be
purchased pursuant to an Offer to Purchase as described under " Change of
Control" and " Limitation on Certain Asset Dispositions" when due and
payable; (d) failure to perform or comply with the provisions described
under " Mergers, Consolidations and Certain Sales and Purchases of
Assets"; (e) failure to perform any other covenant or agreement of the
Company under the Indenture or the Notes continued for 30 days after
written notice to the Company by the Trustee or Holders of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes; (f) default under the
terms of any instrument evidencing or securing Indebtedness for money
borrowed by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company having an
outstanding principal amount of $5 million or more individually or in the
aggregate which results in the acceleration of the payment of such
Indebtedness or which shall constitute the failure to pay principal when
due at the stated maturity of such Indebtedness; (g) the rendering of a
final judgment or judgments (not subject to appeal) against the Company or
any Subsidiary in an amount of $5 million or more which remains
undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days after the date on which
the right to appeal has expired; (h) certain events of bankruptcy,
insolvency or reorganization affecting the Company or any Material
Subsidiary; and (i) the Guarantee of any Guarantor which is a Material
Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance
with the terms of such Guarantee and the Indenture) or is declared null and
void and unenforceable or found to be invalid or any Guarantor which is a
Material Subsidiary denies its liability under its Guarantee (other than by
reason of a release of such Guarantor from its Guarantee in accordance with
the terms of the Indenture and the Guarantee). Subject to the provisions
of the Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee, in case an Event of
Default (as defined) shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee will be
under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the
Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders, unless such
Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity. Subject to
such provisions for the indemnification of the Trustee, the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes will have
the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding
for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power
conferred on the Trustee.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default with respect to the
Company described in clause (h)) shall occur and be continuing, either the
Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Notes may accelerate the maturity of all Notes; provided,
however, that after such acceleration, but before a judgment or decree
based on acceleration, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of outstanding Notes may, under certain circumstances, rescind and
annul such acceleration if all Events of Default, other than the
non-payment of accelerated principal, have been cured or waived as provided
in the Indenture. If an Event of Default specified in clause (h) above
with respect to the Company occurs, the outstanding Notes will ipso facto
become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on
the part of the Trustee or any Holder. For information as to waiver of
defaults, see " Modification and Waiver."

No Holder of any Note will have any right to institute any proceeding with
respect to the Indenture or for any remedy thereunder, unless such Holder
shall have previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing
Event of Default and unless the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding Notes shall have made written request,
and offered reasonable indemnity, to the Trustee to institute such
proceeding as Trustee, and the Trustee shall not have received from the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding
Notes a direction inconsistent with such request and shall have failed to
institute such proceeding within 60 days. However, such limitations do not
apply to a suit instituted by a Holder of a Note for enforcement of payment
of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on such Note on or
after the respective due dates expressed in such Note.

The Company will be required to furnish to the Trustee annually a statement
as to the performance by it of certain of its obligations under the
Indenture and as to any default in such performance.

Covenant Defeasance

The Indenture will provide that the Company may omit to comply with certain
restrictive covenants, any such omission shall not be deemed to be an Event
of Default under the Indenture and the Notes and the Guarantees will be
released, upon irrevocable deposit with the Trustee, in trust, of money
and/or U.S. government obligations which will provide money in an amount
sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent
certified public accountants to pay the principal of and premium, if any,
and each installment of interest, if any, on the outstanding Notes. The
obligations under the Indenture other than with respect to such covenants
and the Events of Default (other than the Events of Default relating to
such covenants above) shall remain in full force and effect. Such trust
may only be established if, among other things, (i) the Company has
delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the
Holders of the Notes will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal
income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and defeasance and will be
subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner
and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and
defeasance had not occurred; (ii) no Event of Default or event that, with
the passing of time or the giving of notice, or both, shall constitute an
Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing; (iii) the Company
has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel with respect to certain
bankruptcy matters and to the effect that such deposit shall not cause the
Trustee or the trust so created to be subject to the Investment Company Act
of 1940; and (iv) certain other customary conditions precedent are met.

Governing Law

The Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees will be governed by the laws of
the State of New York.

Modification and Waiver

Modifications and amendments of the Indenture may be made by the Company
and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding Notes; provided, however, that no such
modification or amendment may, without the consent of the Holder of each
Note affected thereby, (a) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of
or any installment of interest on any Note, (b) reduce the principal amount
of (or the premium) or interest on any Note, (c) change the place or
currency of payment of principal of (or premium) or interest on any Note,
(d) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment
on or with respect to any Note or any Guarantee, (e) reduce the
above-stated percentage of outstanding Notes necessary to modify or amend
the Indenture, (f) reduce the percentage of aggregate principal amount of
outstanding Notes necessary for waiver of compliance with certain
provisions of the Indenture or for waiver of certain defaults, (g) modify
any provisions of the Indenture relating to the modification and amendment
of the Indenture or the waiver of past defaults or covenants, except as
otherwise specified, (h) modify the ranking or priority of the Notes or the
Guarantee of any Guarantor which is a Material Subsidiary, (i) release any
Guarantor which is a Material Subsidiary from any of its obligations under
its Guarantee or the Indenture otherwise than in accordance with the terms
of the Indenture, or (j) modify the provisions relating to any Offer to
Purchase of the Notes required under the "Limitation on Certain Asset
Dispositions" or "Change of Control" covenants contained in the Indenture
in a manner materially adverse to the Holders thereof.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding
Notes, on behalf of all Holders of Notes, may waive compliance by the
Company with certain restrictive provisions of the Indenture. Subject to
certain rights of the Trustee, as provided in the Indenture, the Holders of
a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, on
behalf of all Holders of Notes, may waive any past default under the
Indenture, except a default in the payment of principal, premium or
interest or a default arising from failure to purchase any Note tendered
pursuant to an Offer to Purchase.

The Trustee

The Indenture provides that, except during the continuance of an Event of
Default, the Trustee will perform only such duties as are specifically set
forth in the Indenture. During the existence of an Event of Default, the
Trustee will exercise such rights and powers vested in it under the
Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a
prudent person would exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of
such person's own affairs.

The Indenture and provisions of the Trust Indenture Act incorporated by
reference therein contain limitations on the rights of the Trustee, should
it become a creditor of the Company, to obtain payment of claims in certain
cases or to realize on certain property received by it in respect of any
such claim as security or otherwise. The Trustee is permitted to engage in
other transactions with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company;
provided, however, that if it acquires any conflicting interest (as defined
in the Indenture or in the Trust Indenture Act), it must eliminate such
conflict or resign.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Tultex Corporation

In our opinion, based upon our audits and the report of other auditors, the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related consolidated statements
of income, of cash flows and of changes in stockholders' equity present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Tultex Corporation and its
subsidiaries (the company) at January 1, 1994 and January 2, 1993, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended January 1, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the company's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial
statements of Universal Industries, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, which
statements reflect total revenues of $34,984,000 for the year ended December 31,
1991. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report thereon has
been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to
the amounts included for Universal Industries, Inc., is based solely on the
report of other auditors. We conducted our audits of these statements in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits and the report of other auditors provide a reasonable
basis for the opinion expressed above.

As discussed in Note 9 of Notes to Financial Statements, the company changed its
method of accounting for income taxes in 1992 and 1991. In addition, as
discussed in Notes 3 and 10 of Notes to the Financial Statements, the company
changed its method of valuing inventory and accounting for postretirement
medical and life insurance benefits, respectively, in 1993.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Universal Industries, Inc.:

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Universal Industries,
Inc. as of December 31, 1991 and 1990 and the related consolidated statements
of income and retained earings and cash flows for each of the three years
ended December 31, 1991. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our Responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Universal Industries, Inc. as of
December 31, 1991 and 1990, and the results of its operations and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1991 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Fiscal years ended January 1, 1994, January 2, 1993 and
December 28, 1991.

NOTE 1-ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies followed by Tultex Corporation
and its subsidiaries in preparing the accompanying consolidated
financial statements are as follows:

Basis of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the company and its subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated
in consolidation.

Cash and Equivalents: The company considers cash on hand,
deposits in banks, certificates of deposit and short-term marketable
securities as cash and equivalents for the purposes of the state-
ment of cash flows.

Inventories: Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or
market, with cost determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO)
method. See Note 3 for information concerning the change in the
method of valuing inventories from the last-in, first-out (LIFO)
method to the FIFO method during 1993.

Property, Plant and Equipment: Land, buildings and equipment are
carried at cost. Major renewals and betterments are charged to the
property accounts while replacements, maintenance and repairs
which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets
are expensed currently. Gain or loss on retirement or disposal of
individual assets is recorded as income or expense.

Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method for all
depreciable assets over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Classification Estimated Useful Lives

Land improvements 20 years
Buildings and improvements 12-50 years
Machinery and equipment 3-20 years

Capitalized Interest: Interest is capitalized on major capital
expenditures during the period of construction. Total interest costs
incurred and amounts capitalized for the fiscal years were:

Interest

Net interest
expense $13,203 $12,337 $16,996 $13,540 $ 9,064

Intangible Assets: Goodwill and licenses are being
amortized on a straight-line basis over 25 years.

Pensions: Pension expense includes charges for amounts not less
than the actuarially determined current service costs plus
amortization of prior service costs over 30 years. The company
funds amounts accrued for pension expense not in excess of the
amount deductible for federal income tax purposes.

Revenue Recognition: The company recognizes the sale when the
goods are shipped or ownership is assumed by the customer.

Income Taxes: Income taxes are provided based upon income
reported for financial statement purposes. Deferred income taxes
reflect the tax effect of temporary differences between financial and
taxable income.

Net Income per Share: Net income per common share is computed
using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period after giving retroactive effect to stock splits and
stock dividends and after deducting the preferred dividend
requirements which accrued during the period.

Segment Information: The company is a vertically integrated
manufacturer and marketer of activewear and leisure-time apparel
which is considered a single business segment.

Fiscal Year: The company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday
nearest to December 31, which periodically results in a fiscal year of
53 weeks. The Universal Industries subsidiary historically observed
a calendar year. The difference in the year-ends was considered to
be immaterial on the pooled financial results contained in this
report. Universal Industries, Inc. adopted the fiscal year-end and
quarterly reporting periods of Tultex as of the acquisition date.

Other Postretirement Benefits: As further described in Note 10, the
company changed its method of accounting for the costs of certain life
insurance and medical benefits for eligible retirees and dependents in
1993.

Unaudited Interim Results: The accompanying balance sheet as of October 1,
1994 and the statements of income and cash flows for the nine months ended
October 1, 1994 and October 2, 1993 are unaudited. In the opinion of
management, these statements have been prepared on the same basis as the
audited consolidated financial statements and include all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial position of the company at October 1, 1994
and results of its operations and its cash flows for the nine month periods.
The information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial
statements at October 1, 1994 and for the nine-month periods ended October 1,
1994 and October 2, 1993 are unaudited.

NOTE 2-MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS

On January 31, 1992, effective as of January 1, 1992, the company acquired
assets, certain liabilities, contracts and licenses of Logo 7, Inc., a major
producer and marketer of licensed sports apparel, for a purchase price of
approximately $58 million, consisting of $15 million (stated value) of a new
series of Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, $7.50 Series B and $43
million cash. The $43 million cash was obtained with a 17-month interim loan
from two banks which was prepaid without penalty. The company obtained
permanent financing on June 26, 1992. The results of Logo 7 Inc. are included
in the company's consolidated statement of income for 1992. The purchase
price of $58 million has been allocated to the various acquired
assets. Goodwill of $4 million was determined and is being amortized
over 25 years on a straight-line basis. Logo 7, Inc., which was a
Subchapter S corporation, reported audited net sales of $92 million
and earnings before taxes of $3 milion for the 12 months ended December
31, 1991. Logo 7, Inc. had stockholders' equity of $14 million
at December 31, 1991.

The following pro forma results for 1991 include Logo 7, and do not purport to
be indicative of the results of operations that actually would have resulted
had the combination been in effect for the fiscal year or that may result in
the future. Also included in these 1991 results is Universal Industries, Inc.
which was acquired in June 1992 and accounted for as a pooling of interests.

On June 30, 1992, the company completed the acquisition of Universal
Industries, Inc., a professional sports hatwear licensee located in
Mattapoisett, Massachusetts, through an all-stock deal valued at $11.1
million for nearly 1.3 million common shares. The acquisition has been
accounted for as a pooling of interests, and accordingly, the financial
statements have been restated to include the results of operations for
Universal for all periods presented.

NOTE 3-INVENTORIES

The components of inventories are as follows:

(In thousands 1994 1994 1993 1991

Supplies 3,679 3,735 4,312 3,557

Total inventory $165,593 $157,278 $130,166 $89,368

During the fourth quarter of 1993, the company changed its method of
determining the cost of inventories from the LIFO method to the FIFO
method. Under the current economic environment of low inflation, the
company believes that the FIFO method will result in a better measure-
ment of operating results. This change has been applied by retroactively
restating the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Although
this change in method did not materially impact net income in 1993, it
decreased net income by $4,001,000 or 14 cents per share in 1992,
and $416,000 or 1 cent per share in 1991.

NOTE 5-SHORT-TERM CREDIT AGREEMENTS

Until October 6, 1993, when the company entered into a two-year
revolving credit agreement with 12 banks (see Note 6), it had formal
short-term lines of credit with lending banks aggregating
$57,000,000 with interest payable at or below the prime rate. At
January 2, 1993 and December 28, 1991, the weighted average
interest rates on borrowings outstanding of $79,825,000 and
$51,000,000 were 4.1% and 5.3%, respectively. The use of these
lines was restricted to the extent that the company was required to
liquidate its indebtedness to certain individual banks for a 30-day
period each year. At times, the company borrowed amounts in
excess of the lines on a short-term negotiated basis.

The company currently has short-term lines of credit with two lending
banks totaling $5,000,000. There were no borrowings outstanding under
these lines at January 1, 1994.

As part of the borrowing arrangements, the company was expected to
maintain average compensating cash balances, which were based on a
percentage of the available credit line by bank and the percentages varied
by bank. The amount of compensating balances required for credit lines in
effect at January 2, 1993 was an average of $1,320,000. The compensat-
ing balances were held under agreements which did not legally restrict the
use of such funds, and therefore the funds were not segregated on the
face of the balance sheet. The compensating cash balances were deter-
mined daily by the lending banks based upon balances shown by the
bank, adjusted for average uncollected funds and Federal Reserve
requirements. During the periods shown in the statements, the company
was in substantial compliance with the compensating requirements.
Funds on deposit with the lending banks and considered in the compen-
sating balances were subject to withdrawal; however, the availability of
the short-term lines of credit were dependent upon the maintenance of
sufficient average compensating balances.

The Universal Industries subsidiary, accounted for as a pooling-of-
interests acquisition, had outstanding under short-term banker's accep-
tance agreements $4,762,000 at December 31, 1991.

The company utilizes letters of credit for foreign sourcing of inventory.
Letters of credit outstanding were $9,715,000, $5,266,000 and $771,000 at
January 1, 1994, January 2, 1993 and December 28, 1991, respectively.
After October 6, 1993, all letters of credit issued were part of the revolving
credit agreement described in Note 6.

Total long-term debt $277,321 $230,914 $118,438

On October 6, 1993, the company signed a two-year $225 million
revolving credit agreement with 12 banks with interest at or below prime.
The facility replaced the company's previous short-term credit lines used
to support working capital and future growth. The agreement provides for
a two-year maturity with three annual options to renew.

On June 26, 1992 the company issued 8.875% unsecured, senior
notes totaling $95,000,000. Payments consist of interest only for the
first two years and installment payments of principal and interest for
the remaining five years. The proceeds of this financing retired an
interim loan of $45,000,000 used to acquire Logo 7, prepaid
$25,000,000 of the $50,000,000 term loan obtained in 1989 and
refinanced other indebtedness.

Interest is due quarterly and principal is due in 11 remaining quarterly
installments of $2,083,000 on the remaining $22,917,000 of the term loan.
As a condition to the $25,000,000 prepayment in 1992, the company
indemnified the term-loan lender for the costs and liabilities associated
with an interest rate credit exchange agreement that allowed the lender to
provide fixed-rate financing to the company at the inception of the term loan
in 1989.

As of March 1, 1994, the company amended and restated its 8.94%
term loan. As a condition to the restatement of the term loan, the
company agreed to assume the cost to unwind an interest rate
credit exchange agreement that allowed the lender to provide fixed
rate financing to the company at the inception of the term loan in
1989. Interest is due quarterly at 90-day LIBOR + .75% and
principal is due in eight remaining quarterly installments of
$2,285,000 on the remaining balance of the term loan on October 1,
1994 of $18,282,000.

F-10

The term loan agreement, senior notes and revolving credit
agreement contain provisions regarding maintenance of working
capital and restrictions on payment of cash dividends. At October 1,
1994 and January 1, 1994, the company was in compliance or had
obtained waivers for any violations of the covenants. Consolidated
retained earnings, which were free of dividend restrictions,
amounted to $2,744,000 at January 1, 1994.

Interest paid by the company (net of capitalized amounts) in 1993,
1992 and 1991 was $16,830,000, $13,180,000 and $10,706,000,
respectively.

The approximate aggregate maturities of long-term debt for each
of the next five fiscal years are as follows:

(In thousands of dollars) Total
1994 $ 8,524
1995 148,541*

1997 19,000
1998 19,000

*Includes maturity of $121,000,000 outstanding under revolving credit agreement
which the company expects to renew.

NOTE 7-DIVIDENDS

At December 30, 1989, dividends payable represented amounts paid January 2, 1990
and April 2, 1990. The latter dividend was declared in December 1989 and was
charged against stockholders' equity in that period. This dividend was for the
first quarter 1990 and therefore not included in 1989 dividends per share
information presented in this report. At January 1, 1994, dividends payable
represents amounts paid on January 3, 1994.

Prior to second quarter 1994, all stated dividends on the five percent
cumulative preferred stock had been declared and paid. Cumulative dividends on
such stock that have not been declared or paid as of October 1, 1994, amounted
to $5,000. Prior to second quarter 1994, all stated dividends on the Series B
cumulative preferred stock had been declared and paid. Cumulative dividends on
such stock that have not been declared or paid as of October 1, 1994 amounted
to $563,000.

NOTE 8-STOCK OPTIONS

In 1988, the company's stockholders ratified the 1987 Stock Option Plan under
which 700,000 shares of common stock were reserved for stock option grants to
certain officers and employees. The plan provided that options may be granted
at prices not less than the fair market value on the date the option is
granted, which means the closing price of a share of common stock as reported
on the New York Stock Exchange composite tape on such day. Some options remain
unexercised from the 1987 Stock Option Plan, which expired November 19, 1992.

On March 21, 1991, the company's stockholders ratified the 1990 Stock
Option Plan under which 700,000 shares of common stock were reserved
for stock option grants to certain officers and employees. Options granted
under the 1990 Plan may be incentive stock options ("ISOs") or non-
qualified stock options. The option price will be fixed by the Executive
Compensation Committee of the Board at the time the option is granted,
but in the case of an ISO, the price cannot be less than the share's
fair market value on the date of grant. Grants must be made before
October 18, 2000 and expire within 10 years of the date of grant. In
exercising options, an employee may receive a loan from the
company for up to 90% of the exercise price. Outstanding loans are
shown as a reduction of stockholders' equity on the balance sheet.

On October 28, 1993, the Board of Directors approved an increase
of 500,000 shares in the maximum number of shares to be issued
pursuant to the exercise of options granted under the Plan, ex-
tended the date that grants could be made to October 27, 2003, and
provided that no participant may be granted options in any calendar
year for more than 50,000 shares of Common Stock. Shareholders
will be asked to approve these changes at the Annual Meeting.

A summary of the changes in the number of common shares under option
for each of the three previous years follows:

A reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rates with the
company's effective income tax rates for 1993, 1992 and 1991 was as
follows:

Jan. 1, Jan. 2, Dec. 28,

Income tax payments were $4,512,000, $4,404,000 and $2,705,000 for
1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.

In 1992, the company adopted the provisions of the Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes." This Statement, issued in February 1992, superseded SFAS No.
96, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which the company had adopted in
1991. Both statements require the liability method in accounting for
deferred income taxes. The company's adoption of SFAS No. 109
resulted in no material effect on 1992 earnings. The cumulative effect of
the change in accounting principle due to the adoption of SFAS No. 96 at
the beginning of the 1991 fiscal year was $2,848,000, or 10 cents per
share, and is separately shown in the 1991 statement of income.

The company is currently undergoing an examination by the Internal
Revenue Service for the years ended 1991, 1992 and 1993. While
the examination is not complete, management does not expect the
outcome to materially impact the financial position or results of operation
of the company.

NOTE 10-EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

All qualified employees of the parent company and its Universal subsidiary
are covered by a noncontributory, defined benefit plan. The benefits are
based on years of service and the employee's highest 5 consecutive
calendar years of compensation paid during the 10 most recent years
before retirement. Prior service costs are amortized over 30 years. The
status of the defined benefit plan as of January 1, 1994 and January 2,
1993 was as follows:

(In thousands of dollars) 1993 1992

Fair value of plan assets, primarily
listed stocks and corporate and
government debt $ 40,261 $ 40,006

Accumulated benefit obligation,
including vested benefits of $29,294
and $27,149, respectively 30,114 27,977
Additional benefits based on
estimated future salary levels 6,851 9,592

Projected benefit obligation 36,965 37,569

Plan assets in excess of
projected benefit obligation 3,296 2,437
Unrecognized net gain (2,910) (1,253)
Unrecognized net transitional assets (2,308) (2,777)
Unrecognized prior service cost 257 293

Accrued pension liability $ (1,665) $ (1,300)

The following rate assumptions were made for the noncontributory,
defined benefit and the nonqualified unfunded supplementary retirement
plans:
1993 1992
Discount rate of return on
projected benefit obligation 8.0% 9.0%
Rate of return on plan assets 10.0% 9.0%

The long-term rate of salary progression for 1993 reflected no anticipated
rate increase for the first two years, followed by 3.5% for two years, 4%
for six years and 5% thereafter. The comparable rate in 1992 was 5% for
all years. The changes in rates from year to year were made to reflect
what management considered to be a better approximation of the rates
to be realized.

Pension expense in 1993 and 1992 included the following components:
(In thousands of dollars) 1993 1992

Service cost-benefits earned
during the period $ 1,861 $ 1,697
Interest on projected benefit obligation 2,893 3,176
Actual gain on plan assets (2,362) (2,400)
Net deferral (1,919) (1,370)
Curtailment loss -- 104
Settlement gain -- (151)
Net periodic pension cost $ 473 $ 1,056

The company's policy has been to fund the minimum required contribution
after the end of the fiscal year plus interest on the contribution from the
end of the plan year until paid. The company's Universal Industries
subsidiary historically funded the maximum required contribution during
the year.

At the end of 1992, Universal Industries, Inc. pension plan's future service
benefits were frozen and the plan assets were absorbed into the
company's pension plan, which resulted in a curtailment loss of $104,000.

The company has a nonqualified, unfunded supplementary retirement
plan for which it has purchased cost recovery life insurance on the lives of
the participants. The company is the sole owner and beneficiary of such
policies. The amount of coverage is designed to provide sufficient
revenues to recover all costs of the plan if assumptions made as to
mortality experience, policy earnings and other factors are realized.
Expenses related to the plan were $547,000 in 1993, $395,000 in 1992
and $312,000 in 1991. The actuarially determined liability which has been
included in other deferrals was $3,190,000 at January 1, 1994,
$2,313,000 at January 2, 1993 and $1,962,000 at December 28, 1991.

The following table sets forth the plan's status and amounts recognized
in the company's financial statements at January 1, 1994 and January 2,
1993:

(In thousands of dollars) 1993 1992

Fair value of plan assets $ -- $ --

NOTE 10 (Continued)

Net supplementary pension cost for the two years included the following
components:

(In thousands of dollars) 1993 1992

Service cost-benefits earned during
the period $110 $ 95
Interest on projected benefit obligation 276 200
Net amortization 161 100

Net periodic supplementary pension cost $547 $395

Substantially all employees meeting certain service requirements
are eligible to participate in the company's employee savings
(401-K) plan. Employee contributions are limited to a percentage of
their compensation, as defined in the plan. Although the plan did not
provide for any company contributions in 1992, a matching provision
became effective in April 1993, but was discontinued on January 2,
1994.

A new profit sharing plan was implemented January 1, 1991
which provides for a quarterly payment to employees if a profit is
reported in the most recently completed quarter and is sufficient to
recover any previously reported quarterly losses. This replaced the
employee bonus plan that was in effect in the previous years. The
employee profit sharing/bonus expense was $727,000 in 1993,
$4,614,000 in 1992 and $2,446,000 in 1991.

The company also provides certain postretirement medical and life
insurance benefits to substantially all employees who retire with a
minimum of 15 years of service for the period of time until the employee
and any dependents reach age 65. The medical plan requires monthly
contributions by retired participants which are dependent on the partici-
pant's length of service, age at the date of retirement and Medicare
eligibility. The life insurance plan is noncontributory. Prior to 1993, the
company expensed the costs relating to these unfunded plans as incurred.
Such costs amounted to approximately $375,000 in 1992 and 1991.

In 1993, the company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other
Than Pensions." The standard required companies to recognize the
estimated costs of providing postretirement benefits on an accrual basis.
The company elected the delayed recognition method of adoption which
allows amortization of the initial transitional obligation over a 20-year
period. At January 3, 1994, the actuarially determined accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation was $5,101,000.

The amounts recognized in the company's balance sheet at January 1,
1994 were as follows:

(In thousands of dollars) 1993
Accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation $5,323
Unrecognized transitional
obligation (4,846)
Accrued liability $ 477

Net periodic postretirement benefit cost for 1993 included the
following components:

(In thousands of dollars) 1993

Service cost-benefits earned during
the period $171
Interest on accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation 402
Amortization of accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation 256

Total $829

The discount rate used in determining the accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation was 8%. The assumed medical cost trend rate
was 12% in 1993, declining by 1% per year until an ultimate rate of 5%
is achieved. The medical cost trend rate assumption has a significant
effect on the amount of the obligation and net periodic cost reported. A
one percentage point increase in the medical cost trend rate would have
increased the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by
$337,000 and the aggregate service and interest cost components of
the net periodic postretirement benefit cost for 1993 by $52,000.

In November 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board released
Statement No. 112 "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits."
As the company does not have significant postemployment benefits, the
adoption of this statement in 1994 is not expected to have a material
impact on the company's results of operations or financial position.

Rental expense charged to income was $15,092,000 in 1993, $13,696,000 in 1992
and $12,309,000 in 1991.

NOTE 13-EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

The company has entered into employment continuity agreements with certain of
its executives which provide for the payments to these executives of amounts up
to three times their annual compensation plus continuation of certain benefits,
if there is a change in control in the company (as defined) and a termination
of their employment. The maximum contingent liability at January 1, 1994 under
these agreements was approximately $4,560,000.

Employment agreements with certain executives were executed as a result of the
Logo 7 acquisition. Under predefined events of termination, the company could
incur a maximum liability of $9,786,000 as of January 1, 1994.

NOTE 14-CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The company's concentration of credit risk is limited due to the large number
of primarily domestic customers who are geographically dispersed. The company
has no customer that constituted 10% of net sales in 1993. As disclosed on the
balance sheet, the company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to
cover estimated credit losses.

NOTE 15-SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN

In March 1990, the Board of Directors of the company adopted a Shareholder
Rights Plan and declared a dividend of one right for each outstanding share of
common stock to shareholders of record on April 2, 1990. Each right entitles
the registered holder to purchase from the company, until the earlier of March
22, 2000 or the redemption of the rights, one one-thousandth of a share of newly
authorized Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series A, without
par value, at an exercise price of $40. The rights are not exercisable or
transferable apart from the common stock until the earlier of (i) 10 days
following the public announcement that a person or a group of affiliated persons
has acquired or obtained the right to acquire beneficial ownership of 10% or
more of the company's outstanding common stock or (ii) 10 business days
following the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer that would result
in a person or group owning 10% or more of the company's outstanding common
stock. The company may redeem the rights at a price of $.01 per right at any
time prior to the acquisition of 10% or more of the company's outstanding common
stock or certain other triggering events.

NOTE 16-STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

In February 1994, the company initiated the Salaried Employees' Stock Purchase
Plan. Under the plan, employees may elect to purchase shares of the company's
common stock in amounts ranging from 20-30% of their annual salary. Employees
will pay for the stock through payroll deductions over a 60-month period. The
shares will be held by the company and interest of 6% per annum will be charged
until the end of the 60-month period. The price of the shares will be fixed as
of the last day of trading in February 1994. The company has reserved 925,000
shares of common stock for issuance pursuant to the plan.

Item 14. Indemnification of Officers and Directors

The Virginia Stock Corporation Act permits, and the Company's Articles of
Incorporation (the "Articles") require, indemnification of the Company's
directors and officers in a variety of circumstances that may include
liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"). Under sections 13.1-697 and 13.1-702 of the Virginia Stock
Corporation Act, a Virginia corporation is generally authorized to
indemnify its directors and officers in civil or criminal actions if they
acted in good faith and, in the case of criminal actions, had no reasonable
cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful. The Company's Articles
require indemnification of any person with respect to certain liabilities
incurred in connection with any proceeding to which that person is made a
party by reason of (i) his service to the Company as a director or officer,
or (ii) his service as director, officer, trustee or partner to some other
enterprise at the request of the Company, except in the case of willful
misconduct or a knowing violation of criminal law. In addition, the
Company carries insurance on behalf of directors, officers, employees and
agents that may cover liabilities under the Securities Act. As permitted
by the Virginia Stock Corporation Act, the Company's Articles provide that
in any proceeding brought by a shareholder of the Company in the right of
the Company or brought by or on behalf of shareholders of the Company, no
director or officer of the Company shall be liable to the Company or its
shareholders for monetary damages with respect to any transaction,
occurrence or course of conduct, whether prior or subsequent to the
effective date of such Articles, except for liability resulting from such
person having engaged in willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the
criminal law or any federal or state securities law.

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

The Company has sold the following securities during the past three years
on the dates and for the consideration indicated:

Capital Stock

In January 1992, the Company issued an aggregate of 150,000 shares of
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, $7.50 Series B, having a stated
value of $15 million to LG Sale Corporation, Inc. and Herbert and Melvin
Simon in connection with the acquisition of the business of Logo 7.

In June 1992, the Company issued 1,263,393 shares of Common Stock having a
market value of $11,086,268 in exchange for the capital stock of Universal.

Debt

In June 1992, the Company issued $95 million of the 8 7/8% Notes to various
institutional investors. J. P. Morgan Securities Inc. acted as placement
agent for the 8 7/8% Notes.

All of the above securities were offered and issued in private transactions
not involving any public offering and were accordingly exempt from the
registration provisions of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2)
thereof.

Report of Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P.

Schedule VIII Valuation and Qualifying Accounts and Reserves

Note: All other schedules for which provision is made in the
applicable accounting regulations of the Commission are not required
under the related instructions, are inapplicable or have been
disclosed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and,
therefore, have been omitted.

Item 17. Undertakings

(a) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense
of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of
prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance
upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the
registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) under the Securities Act
shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the
time it was declared effective.

(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a
form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
offering thereof.

caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Martinsville, State
of Virginia, on this 20th day of January, 1995.
