                               TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS

        The market for  upholstery  fabric in the United States is continuing to
experience  unprecedented  change.  Imported fabrics, in both roll and kit form,
now represent more than half of the market - and a number of domestic  furniture
manufacturers  and retailers are bringing  fully-upholstered  furniture into the
U.S. market from China. For us, these dramatic changes led to a 29% drop in last
year's  domestic  fabric sales and an 18% drop in export fabric sales.  Net yarn
sales for the year were down 79.2%.  This large sales decline outpaced the speed
at which we were able to take costs out of our operation. At the end of the day,
net sales for the year were $151.7 million,  with a net loss of ($37.6 million),
and  diluted  and basic  losses per share of  ($2.23);  compared to net sales of
$224.7 million, a net loss of ($26.3 million),  and diluted and basic losses per
share of ($1.56) for fiscal 2005.

        One-time  charges related to the Company's  ongoing  restructuring  plan
also had a significant  effect on our 2006 results - with pre-tax  restructuring
and asset impairment charges accounting for $26.5 million, or more than half, of
last year's $48.5 million operating loss. These charges were primarily  non-cash
and  include  the  write-down  of  assets,  including  manufacturing  plants and
machinery  and  equipment,  that  we  have  put  up  for  sale  as  part  of our
consolidation strategy. Excluding these charges, last year's net loss would have
been ($17.4 million), or ($1.03) per share.

        Despite last year's results,  we believe that the steps we have taken to
reshape  and  restructure  the Company  represent  significant  progress  toward
returning  the Company to  profitability  - and everyone at the Company is fully
focused on the  transformation  of Quaker  into a design,  product  development,
sales, marketing,  sourcing and specialized  manufacturing  powerhouse.  The key
elements of our restructuring plan call for us to:

    o   Ensure  that  our  operating  costs  are  consistent  with  our  revenue
        expectations;

    o   Stabilize  revenues from our U.S.-based  residential  fabric business by
        concentrating  our  marketing  efforts on those  market  segments  least
        sensitive  to  imported  products - such as the  jobber,  upper-end  and
        specialty retailer categories - and where prompt delivery is critical;

    o   Generate additional sales by penetrating the outdoor and contract fabric
        markets;

    o   Develop  commercial  relationships  with a limited  number of  carefully
        chosen  non-U.S.  fabric  mills so that we can strike the right  balance
        between  domestic   production  and  offshore   sourcing  -  with  these
        complementary  offshore  sourcing  programs  intended  to  allow  us  to
        recapture at least a portion of the domestic  residential  business that
        we have lost to imported products over the past several years; and

    o   Consolidate our manufacturing  operations into fewer facilities and sell
        off real estate and machinery and equipment we no longer need.

        Using this plan as our roadmap,  during 2006, we sold two  manufacturing
plants and about $4.0 million of machinery and  equipment.  We cut SG&A costs by
approximately  $10.0 million - and  manufacturing  costs by approximately  $20.0
million - both on an  annualized  basis.  We  reduced  inventory  by about  $9.7
million and senior debt by a little over $4.0 million.  And we put new financing
agreements  in place  last  November  which we  believe  to be  consistent  with
Quaker's  strategic  objectives and current operating and working capital needs.
In addition,  the Company's  independent  registered  public  accounting  firm's
unqualified  opinion on the Company's Fiscal 2006 financial  statements does not
contain a reference expressing  substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern.

        To counter  the  decline in our sales,  we have  carefully  focused  our
marketing  efforts on market  segments  less  vulnerable  to  Chinese  imports -
including  the  development  and  introduction  of new products for the outdoor,
jobber,  contract,  upper-end  residential and specialty retailer markets.  This
effort  will  remain a major  focus for us again this year.  To further our dual
strategy of striking the right balance  between  domestic  production and global
sourcing,  we also  developed and  implemented a China program last year that is
intended to give us a competitive  advantage in the global  sourcing arena - and
the long-term  alliance we put in place with our  China-based  partner is on its
way to becoming the strong,  effective  outsourcing  arrangement we had hoped it
would be.

        Our primary  focus  during 2007 will be on  rebuilding  our top line and
aligning our costs with our sales. We continue to bring significant  competitive
strengths  to  this  industry  - our  design  talent,  our  product  development
expertise, the close working relationships we have built with our customers, our
sourcing capabilities,  our technological edge, and our ability to find and make
the  most of new  market  opportunities.  We  intend  to use  those  competitive
strengths  to  aggressively  develop  fabrics for  production  by our  strategic
partner  in China - and other  products  that for both  strategic  and  economic
reasons are best produced in our Fall River-based manufacturing facilities. This
latter category includes our new outdoor fabric and contract furniture programs,
which are  intended  to build  our  revenues  by  leveraging  our  technological
expertise to expand the markets we serve - as well as fabrics for those domestic
and  international  residential  customers in need of a strong U.S.-based fabric
mill to meet their  requirements  for high  quality,  innovative  products  with
relatively short delivery lead times.

        Selling off the  facilities and equipment we no longer need will also be
an important 2007 priority. And we are off to a good start. So far this year, we
have entered into two asset sale  agreements.  The first involves a pending sale
of our  corporate  headquarters  building in Fall River for $4.7  million - and,
consistent with our overall consolidation  program, it also involves a leaseback
of part of the  building.  The second  agreement  involves  the ongoing  sale of
additional excess machinery and equipment.  This transaction

                                      iii



included an initial  payment to the Company of $1.3  million.  The net  proceeds
from all asset sales will be used to reduce the outstanding  balance of our term
loan.

        Paying attention to basic blocking and tackling will also be a corporate
imperative  for us -  making  sure  that our  productivity  levels  and  quality
performance  are consistent  with the objectives we have set for ourselves - and
that  everything  we do reflects  our  commitment  to serving our  shareholders,
customers, suppliers, employees and other stakeholders well.

        We know that 2007 is a very important  transition year for us, with much
of the work behind us, a clear,  focused  strategy in place for the future,  and
much work still to be done. We look forward to tackling the challenges  that lie
ahead. We appreciate your interest in Quaker and your continued support.

Sincerely,

/s/ Larry A. Liebenow                            /s/ Sangwoo Ahn

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

OVERVIEW

        Quaker  Fabric  Corporation  ("Quaker"  or the  "Company")  is a leading
supplier  of woven  upholstery  fabrics  primarily  for  residential  furniture.
Historically,  all of the  fabrics  and  yarns  sold by the  Company  have  been
designed and produced in the Company's own U.S.-based manufacturing  facilities.
During 2005, Quaker began taking steps to supplement the woven Jacquard products
that have historically  represented the core of the Company's product line with,
microdenier  faux  suede  and  woven  products  produced  outside  the U.S.  and
purchased by Quaker for sale into the worldwide  market. In January 2006, Quaker
entered into an agreement  with a Chinese  fabric mill pursuant to which certain
fabrics  sold  by  the  Company  are  designed  at  Quaker's   headquarters   in
Massachusetts but manufactured in China. In addition,  Quaker has an outsourcing
arrangement  in  place  with one  other  fabric  manufacturer  based in Asia and
anticipates entering into a limited number of additional similar arrangements in
the future.

        The Company is also a leading  developer and  manufacturer  of specialty
yarns, including a variety of chenille,  taslan and spun products,  which Quaker
both sells and uses in the production of its fabrics.  The Company's  vertically
integrated   operations  provide  Quaker  with  important  design  and  delivery
advantages.

        The Company's  revenues in 2006 were $151.7 million,  compared to $224.7
million  in  2005,  and  on  a  comparative   basis,  our  sales  have  declined
quarter-to-quarter  in each of the ten  consecutive  quarters ended December 30,
2006. Primarily as a result of our declining sales, there has been a significant
deterioration in our recent financial performance and we have reported operating
losses in each of the ten  consecutive  fiscal quarters ended December 30, 2006.
During 2005,  Quaker  implemented a  restructuring  plan intended to restore the
Company to profitability.  The key elements of this  restructuring plan include:
(i)  stabilizing  revenues from our U.S.-based  residential  fabric  business by
concentrating our marketing efforts on those markets least sensitive to imported
products; (ii) reducing our operating costs enough to compensate for the drop we
have  experienced in our revenues over the past few years;  (iii) selling excess
assets, including machinery and equipment and real estate, and consolidating our
manufacturing  operations into fewer facilities;  (iv) developing  strategically
important  commercial  relationships  with a limited number of carefully  chosen
offshore  fabric  mills  so that we can  recapture  the  share  of the  domestic
residential market that we have lost over the past few years to foreign imports;
and (v) generating  additional  profitable  sales by penetrating the outdoor and
contract fabric markets.

        Quaker has been  producing  upholstery  fabric  for sixty  years and the
Company is well known for its broad range of Jacquard and plain woven upholstery
fabrics.  Quaker's  current  product  line  consists of over 5,000  traditional,
contemporary,  transitional  and country  fabric  patterns  intended to meet the
styling  and  design,  color,  texture,  quality  and  pricing  requirements  of
promotional through middle to higher-end furniture manufacturers.  Additionally,
the  Company  introduces  over 1,000 new  products to the market  annually.  The
Company  sells  its  upholstery   fabrics  to   approximately   1,000  furniture
manufacturers worldwide. Quaker also distributes its fabrics internationally. In
2006,  net fabric sales outside the United  States of $24.0 million  represented
approximately 16.3% of net fabric sales.

        Quaker   uses   three    tradenames    in   the    marketing    of   its
fabrics--Whitaker(R),   Quaker(TM)  and   Terrazo(TM)     Quaker's   Whitaker(R)
Collection,  a  branded  line of a  select  group  of the  Company's  better-end
products, is intended to meet the design and construction requirements of middle
to higher-end furniture  manufacturers and jobbers. The balance of the Company's
residential line fabrics carry the Quaker(TM) name. Fabrics included in Quaker's
line of outdoor products bear the Terrazo(TM)  trademark.  Management  estimates
that  approximately  60% of the  Company's  fabric  sales  are  manufactured  to
customer order.

        The Company's yarn and fabric  manufacturing and warehousing  operations
are conducted in three separate manufacturing and warehousing facilities in Fall
River,   Massachusetts.   During  2005,  the  Company  consolidated   operations
previously conducted in four leased facilities into a single 540,000 square foot
leased  facility,  and during 2006, the Company  continued its  consolidation by
closing  three  additional  plants  and  relocating  the  operations  previously
conducted in them into this same 540,000  square foot leased plant.  In addition
to distribution  from the Company's  facilities in Fall River,  Quaker maintains
domestic   distribution   centers  in  High  Point,   North  Carolina,   Verona,
Mississippi, and City of Industry,  California. To provide better service to its
international  customers,  the Company also has a distribution  center in Mexico
and uses a third-party  distribution  company to provide warehousing services in
Brazil.

THE INDUSTRY

        Total  domestic   upholstery  fabric  sales,   exclusive  of  automotive
applications,  are estimated to be  approximately  $1.6 billion  annually,  with
sales of imported  fabrics,  in both roll and "kit"  (i.e.,  cut and sewn) form,
representing  approximately  42% of total U.S. fabric sales during 2004, up from
29% in 2003 and 11% in 2002.  Management  believes that sales of imported fabric
as a percentage of total fabric sales have continued to increase since 2004, and
management   estimates  that  sales  of  imported  fabrics  currently  represent
approximately 60% of total U.S. fabric sales. Management estimates international
fabric  sales  to be at  least  twice  those  of  the  domestic  market.  At the
promotional  end  of  the  Jacquard  market,   price  is  the  most  significant
competitive  factor.  At the  upper-end  of the market,  while  pricing is still
important, fabric styling and design typically play a greater role.

        Demand for  upholstery  fabric is a function  of demand for  upholstered
furniture.  U.S. retail  upholstered  furniture sales grew from $20.3 billion in
1999 to an estimated $23.9 billion in 2004. Total  upholstered  furniture demand
is cyclical and is affected by population growth and demographics, new household
formations, consumer confidence, disposable income, geographic mobility, housing
starts, and home sales.  Furniture  purchases compete with home electronics such
as PCs and HDTVs for the consumer's discretionary income. Historically, the U.S.
furniture  market  has  been  characterized  by  relatively  slow  growth,  with
compounded annual growth rates typically in the 2.5% to 3.5% range.

        The  upholstery  fabric  covering  a sofa,  chair,  or  other  piece  of
furniture is one of the most significant factors influencing a furniture buyer's
selection.  Purchase decisions are based primarily on the consumer's  evaluation
of aesthetics,  comfort,  durability,  quality and price,  with pricing the most
important factor at the promotional end of the market.  As a result,  the fabric
decisions a furniture  manufacturer makes play a critical role in its ability to
capture retail floor space,  thereby  generating  increased  sales by attracting
consumer attention.

        Management  believes the long-term outlook for the Company's  upholstery
fabric sales will be influenced by the following factors:

        (i)     Fabrics,  leather and microdenier  faux suede products  entering
                the  United  States  from Asia in both roll and "kit"  form have
                resulted in increased  competition in the upholstery  fabric and
                upholstered furniture markets and current estimates suggest that
                these products have captured  approximately  60% of the domestic
                market.  Economic factors affecting purchasing decisions made by
                U.S.  furniture  manufacturers  to  source  furniture  coverings
                domestically or in the international  market, as well as further
                improvements  in the delivery and quality  performance of Asian,
                particularly  Chinese,  fabric  mills are expected to cause this
                trend to  continue.  In addition,  recent  increases in imported
                furniture   coverings  and  an  increase  in  imports  of  fully
                upholstered   furniture   ("FUF")  into  the  U.S.  have  had  a
                deflationary  effect  on  pricing  throughout  the  distribution
                chain.

        (ii)    A number of U.S. furniture manufacturers have begun to bring FUF
                into the U.S.  for sale  into the  domestic  market.  Most  U.S.
                furniture  manufacturers  doing this are purchasing FUF in China
                and  other  countries  in the  Far  East  from  local  furniture
                manufacturers  operating  there--and at least one U.S. furniture
                manufacturer  has set up its own FUF  production  facilities  in
                China.  These  furniture  manufacturers  are sourcing in the Far
                East the raw materials,  including fabric, they need for the FUF
                they are making in China.

        (iii)   The furniture industry has been consolidating at both the retail
                and manufacturing levels for several years. As a result,  fabric
                suppliers   are   required   to  deal  with   larger   and  more
                sophisticated  customers that require a broader range of product
                choices,   shorter   delivery   lead  times,   customer-specific
                inventory  management  programs,   and  additional   information
                technology-based support services.

        (iv)    In recent  years,  the lines  between the  furniture  industry's
                manufacturers  and retailers have begun to blur, with several of
                the nation's larger  furniture  manufacturers  operating  retail
                outlets of their own.

        (v)     Most  Americans  have  adopted  a  more  casual  lifestyle,   as
                evidenced by product shifts in the apparel and home  furnishings
                industries.  Management  believes  this has  resulted in growing
                demand for less formal furniture  upholstered with softer,  less
                expensive,  more  comfortable  fabric,  with stain repellant and
                stain resistance properties.

        (vi)    Consumer tastes in upholstered furniture coverings change as new
                trends and styles  emerge.  Leather and faux suedes as furniture
                coverings  have  benefited  from strong  demand in recent years,
                resulting  in a reduction in overall  sales of woven  upholstery
                fabric.

        (vii)   Pushed by consumers  demanding  immediate product delivery,  the
                furniture  industry has  increased its focus at the upper end of
                the market on  just-in-time  manufacturing  methods  and shorter
                delivery lead times. At the  promotional end of the market,  the
                focus is on higher volume commodity  frames and coverings,  with
                furniture more likely to be sold "as shown."

        (viii)  Advances in the use and  application of  information  technology
                throughout the industry supply chain can be anticipated to allow
                furniture  industry  manufacturers,  suppliers  and customers to
                share information more quickly and more  effectively,  resulting
                in  reduced  cycle  times  and  greater   transparency  for  end
                consumers  who will be able

                                       3



                to  determine  the  status of their  orders at each stage of the
                manufacturing  process.  Significant  advances  in  the  use  of
                information  technology in the sales and marketing  function are
                also anticipated.

        (ix)    Most  consumers  and some  furniture  manufacturers  have placed
                increased emphasis on product quality.

STRATEGY

        Quaker's strategy is focused on:

        RESTORING THE COMPANY TO PROFITABILITY. Management's number one priority
is  restoring  the  Company  to  profitability.  The key  elements  of  Quaker's
restructuring  plan  include:  (i)  stabilizing  revenues  from  our  U.S.-based
residential  fabric  business by  concentrating  our marketing  efforts on those
markets least sensitive to imported products;  (ii) reducing our operating costs
enough to  compensate  for the drop we have  experienced  in our revenues  since
2002;  (iii) selling excess assets,  including  excess real estate and machinery
and equipment;  (iv) developing strategically important commercial relationships
with a limited number of carefully  chosen  offshore fabric mills so that we can
recapture  the share of the domestic  residential  market that we have lost over
the past few years to foreign imports; and (v) generating  additional profitable
sales by penetrating  the outdoor market and building the Company's  position in
the contract fabric market.

        MAINTAINING ITS LEADERSHIP  POSITION IN THE DOMESTIC  RESIDENTIAL FABRIC
MARKET. The Company has positioned itself as a full-service supplier of Jacquard
and plain  woven  fabrics to the  promotional  and middle to  better-end  of the
market by  offering a wide  variety of fabric  patterns at prices  ranging  from
$2.50 to $36.00 per yard and by emphasizing superior customer service. Recently,
Quaker has taken steps to broaden its product  offerings to include  microdenier
faux  suede  and  woven  fabrics  manufactured  outside  the  U.S.  pursuant  to
outsourcing and/or commercial cooperation agreements entered into by the Company
with various offshore fabric manufacturers.

        EXPANDING   INTERNATIONAL   SALES.   The  Company  has  made   worldwide
distribution of its upholstery  fabrics a key component of its strategy.  Quaker
has built an international sales and distribution network, dedicated significant
corporate  resources to the development of fabrics to meet the specific  styling
and design needs of its  international  customers,  and put programs in place to
simplify  the  purchase of product from  Quaker,  including  the  operation of a
distribution  facility in Mexico, and the utilization of the services of a third
party  distribution  company in Brazil.  The Company's  international net fabric
sales were $24.0 million in 2006.

        PENETRATING  RELATED FABRIC MARKETS.  Management  believes the Company's
styling and design expertise, as well as its fabric finishing and post-finishing
abilities,  provide opportunities for revenue growth in the contract and outdoor
markets.

        MAINTAINING   SPECIALTY  YARN  SALES.  The  Company's  current  line  of
specialty  yarns  includes  over 100  different  varieties  of spun,  taslan and
chenille yarns, and Quaker's yarn design and development staff regularly creates
innovative new specialty yarns.  Almost all of the specialty yarns  manufactured
by the Company are used in the production of the Company's  fabric.  The balance
is  sold to  craft  yarn  distributors,  upholstery  weavers  and  home  fashion
accessories  firms.  Net  sales  for this  division  increased  by 6.7% to $21.8
million in 2005 from $20.4 million in 2004, but dropped by 79.2% to $4.5 million
in 2006 due to a  dramatic  reduction  in sales to the  Company's  biggest  yarn
customer.

PRODUCTS

        The Company  offers a broad  assortment  of  contemporary,  traditional,
transitional and country fabrics to manufacturers  of both  promotional-end  and
middle to better-end  furniture at prices ranging from $2.50 to $36.00 per yard.
While most of the Company's fabrics have historically been sold under the Quaker
label,  the Company  began  marketing a select group of its middle to better-end
fabrics under its  Whitaker(R)  label in October 1996.  During 2001, the Company
began marketing  certain of its fabrics to its  promotional-end  customers under
its Davol(R) brand name; however,  in 2005, the Company  discontinued use of the
Davol brand and returned to marketing its promotional  products under the Quaker
label.  In 2006,  the  Company's  promotional-end  fabric line and its middle to
better-end  fabric  line had average  gross  sales  prices of $4.08 per yard and
$7.09 per yard,  respectively,  compared  to $4.04 and $7.09,  respectively,  in
2005. The weighted  average gross sales price per yard of the Company's  fabrics
was  $6.21 in 2006,  compared  to $5.88 in 2005.  Gross  sales of the  Company's
middle to better-end fabrics were $118.2 million, or 80.8% of total gross fabric
sales  in  2006,  with  approximately  30.8%  of  those  sales  made  under  the
Whitaker(R)  label. Most of the Company's  products are merchandised in packages
or  collections of  coordinated  fabrics  intended to be marketed at retail on a
single furniture group, e.g., loveseat, sofa, chair.

        Quaker's  product line is focused on fabrics with woven designs referred
to in the industry as "Jacquards," because of the special Jacquard equipment, or
heads,  required  to  produce  them,  and also  includes a broad  assortment  of
striped,  plaid,  and plain fabrics.  All of Quaker's  active looms are equipped
with  Jacquard  heads.  The use of these  heads  makes it  possible  to vary the
pattern, color, and texture of both the filling and warp yarns in a fabric.

        In 2005,  Quaker  began taking steps to  supplement  the woven  Jacquard
products that have  historically  represented the core of the Company's  product
line with  microdenier  faux suede and woven products  produced outside the U.S.
and purchased by Quaker for sale into the worldwide  market.  Quaker has entered
into outsourcing  arrangements with two fabric  manufacturers  based in Asia for
this purpose,  and the Company  anticipates  entering  into a limited  number of
additional similar arrangements in the future. Quaker and

                                       4



its customers  refer to the  Company's  outsourced  products as Quaker's  Global
Line(TM),  and  the  Company's  most  important  offshore  sourcing  arrangement
involves  fabrics  designed by  Quaker's  new  product  development  team at the
Company's corporate  headquarters in Fall River,  Massachusetts and manufactured
in China using raw materials sourced in China and other Asian countries.

        Quaker's  broad product line,  including  the  additional  product types
added to Quaker's line as a result of the outsourcing  arrangements to which the
Company is a party, is intended to allow the Company's customers to meet most of
their fabric needs through one full-service supplier.

NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND DESIGN

        Although  management  believes fashion trends in the upholstery industry
do not change  significantly  from year to year,  consumer  tastes in upholstery
fabric and other  furniture  coverings  do change  over time.  Therefore,  it is
important  to  identify  emerging  fashion  needs and to  develop  new  products
responsive  to those needs.  Management  believes  Quaker's  design staff has an
established reputation for design excellence and product leadership.

        The  Company's  design  department  has overall  responsibility  for the
development  of new  upholstery  fabric  patterns for sale by the  Company.  The
organization  of the Company's  design  department  reflects the various markets
served by the Company, with certain designers responsible for the development of
new fabrics for the  residential  market,  others for the outdoor,  contract and
international  markets.  Although the Company purchases artwork from independent
artists, the Company's staff of professional  designers and designer technicians
creates the majority of the designs on which the Company's  fabric  patterns are
based  and also  determines  the  construction  of those  patterns.  The  design
department uses Computer Aided Design ("CAD")  equipment to reduce the length of
the Company's new product development cycle.

        The  development of each new fabric line requires six months.  The first
step  in  the  new  product   development   process  is  the  preparation  of  a
merchandising plan for the line. The Company's  merchandising plans are based on
extensive input from Quaker's sales representatives,  senior managers, and major
customers.  These  plans  provide  both a broad  outline  of the  number  of new
products to be included within each major styling category (e.g.,  contemporary,
traditional,  transitional,  and country), as well as the number of new products
to be created for sale at each of the major price points  within  those  styling
categories. Decisions are then made as to which new products are to be purchased
directly from offshore  manufacturer with little design input from Quaker, which
are to be designed by Quaker for  production in the Company's  Fall  River-based
manufacturing  plants and which are to be designed  for  production  by offshore
fabric mills through one of Quaker's non-U.S. outsourcing arrangements.

        In addition,  because of the design and delivery  advantages of Quaker's
vertically integrated manufacturing  operations,  substantial emphasis is placed
on making  maximum use of the  Company's  internally  produced  yarns during the
fabric  development  process.  In conjunction  with the  development of each new
fabric  merchandising  plan,  members of the  Company's  fabric  design and yarn
development staffs meet to identify the design staff's yarn requirements for the
Company's  next fabric line and many of Quaker's  proprietary  yarns trace their
origins to this design-driven process. Quaker's product development, engineering
and  manufacturing  staffs also play a key role in the new  product  development
process by reviewing proposed new product constructions to evaluate their impact
on the Company's raw material  costs,  equipment  utilization  rates and quality
performance.  The Company's  product  development  and  engineering  staffs also
design and develop new product  attributes  that add value to Quaker's  products
from the consumer's perspective.  Their efforts have lead to initiatives such as
the Company's entry into a non-exclusive  licensing  agreement with Hi-Tex, Inc.
for the use of its  patented  Crypton(R)  finish for  certain  of the  Company's
fabrics for the contract market.  During 2005, Quaker's licensing agreement with
Hi-Tex was  expanded  to allow  Quaker to produce all of the  Company's  Crypton
products in its Fall River operations. This allows for improved customer service
and reduced development time for new contract market products.

        Although a few plain,  striped and plaid fabrics remain in the Company's
product line for ten years or more, a successful product typically has a life of
two to three years. Quaker's design staff also regularly creates custom patterns
for customers seeking to differentiate their products for distribution purposes,
hit a certain price point at the retail level, or meet a particular styling need
in the market they serve.  These patterns,  which are not part of Quaker's "open
line," are known in the  industry as  "Specials"  and have  become  increasingly
important to the Company's overall marketing efforts in recent years.

SALES AND MARKETING

UPHOLSTERY FABRICS

        Net fabric sales during 2006 were $147.1 million, or approximately 97.0%
of the  Company's  net  sales.  The  Company  sells its  upholstery  fabrics  to
approximately  1,000  furniture  manufacturers  worldwide.  Fabric  sales to the
Company's top 25 customers  accounted for approximately 41.5% of 2006 net fabric
sales.  None of the  Company's  customers  accounted  for more  than 4.7% of net
fabric sales during 2006.

        The Company uses a direct  marketing force of 19 sales  representatives,
three of whom are based in Mexico,  to market its fabrics in the United  States,
Canada and Mexico. All such sales representatives are paid on a commission basis
and represent the Company exclusively.  Quaker recently appointed a new Director
of International Sales to head up its export business,  and Quaker's fabrics are
distributed   internationally   through  a  network  of  eight  exclusive  sales
representatives and eight independent commissioned sales agents.

                                       5



        Quaker's United States  customers market their products through national
furniture  industry  trade  shows held  annually  in the Spring and Fall in High
Point, North Carolina,  and in February and August in Las Vegas,  Nevada as well
as  through  various  regional  shows.  These  shows  provide  most of  Quaker's
customers with the  opportunity to introduce  their new furniture lines to their
major  retail  customers  in a single  setting.  Quaker's  design and  marketing
process is closely  linked to these trade  shows,  and the Company  develops two
major  lines of new  fabrics  each year  timed to  coincide  with the  furniture
industry's new product development cycle.

        Quaker also  markets  its  fabrics at a number of trade shows  regularly
attended by its export customers,  including shows in Belgium,  Germany,  Italy,
Brazil and Mexico. Net foreign sales of fabric accounted for approximately 16.3%
of Quaker's net fabric sales during 2006.

        In addition to distribution from the Company's facilities in Fall River,
Massachusetts,  Quaker  maintains  five  distribution  centers  from  which  its
customers may take immediate delivery of selected products. These facilities are
located in City of Industry,  California; Verona, Mississippi; High Point, North
Carolina;  Sao  Paulo,  Brazil;  and Mexico  City,  Mexico,  with the  Company's
Mississippi  warehouse  carrying  a wide  assortment  of  Quaker's  Global  Line
products and Quaker's High Point facility offering a cut-to-order program on the
middle to better-end fabrics inventoried there.

SPECIALTY YARNS

        Net yarn sales during 2006 were $4.6 million,  or approximately  3.0% of
the Company's net sales. The Company  designs,  manufactures and markets several
types of specialty  yarns,  including  fancy spun,  fancy  twisted and chenille.
Because of their  softness,  the specialty yarns produced by the Company and the
fabrics made out of them are intended to be  responsive  to consumer  demand for
soft, casual home furnishings and accessories. The Company's specialty yarns are
sold under the name of Nortex Yarns to craft yarn distributors and manufacturers
of home furnishings products,  principally weavers of upholstery fabric, throws,
afghans and other products. The Company has approximately 50 yarn customers.

        None of the Company's yarn customers  accounted for more than 31% of net
yarn sales in 2006.  Sales to one craft yarn customer  represented more than 75%
of the Company's yarn sales in 2005.  Sales into the craft yarn market reflected
significant  growth  during  the  first  three  quarters  of 2005,  but  dropped
significantly during the fourth quarter due to excess inventory at the Company's
biggest yarn customer.  This situation  continued  during 2006 and the Company's
craft yarn sales have remained depressed.

MANUFACTURING

        The  Company  operates  three  manufacturing  facilities  in Fall River,
Massachusetts,  and management estimates that approximately 60% of the Company's
fabric sales are  manufactured to customer  order. In addition,  certain fabrics
sold by the Company are  manufactured  outside the U.S.  pursuant to outsourcing
agreements  entered  into by the Company with fabric  mills with  operations  in
Asia. Management, in partnership with key customers, uses forecasting techniques
to significantly reduce delivery lead times to its key customers.  The Company's
objective is to operate its production facilities on a three-shift, five to five
and one half-day per week schedule. During periods of weaker demand, the Company
will decrease its production rates accordingly by reducing overtime and staffing
levels and/or  idling  plants and  equipment.  During 2006,  Quaker  implemented
several  reductions  in  force,  resulting  in a  significant  decrease  in  the
Company's employment levels by the end of 2006, as compared to year-end 2005. In
addition, since year-end 2004 Quaker has idled its Somerset,  Massachusetts yarn
manufacturing plant and its fabric weaving and finishing plant on Brayton Avenue
in  Fall  River  and  consolidated  yarn  manufacturing   operations  previously
conducted at its Quequechan Street,  Quarry Street and Graham Road facilities in
Fall River and four of its  leased  Fall  River-based  warehousing/manufacturing
plants into its leased facility on Commerce Drive in Fall River.

        The Company's vertically  integrated  manufacturing  process begins with
the  production of specialty  yarns,  primarily for use in the production of the
Company's  fabrics,  but also for sale to  manufacturers  of craft  yarns,  home
furnishings  products and apparel.  Although  the Company  purchases  all of its
commodity  yarns,  most of the Company's  weft,  or filling,  yarn needs are met
through internal production.  The next stage of the fabric manufacturing process
involves the  preparation  of beams of warp yarn. The beams are then sent to the
Company's weave rooms,  where looms are used to weave the warp and filling yarns
together.  The final steps in the fabric production  process include routing the
fabric through various fabric finishing and post-finishing  processes to enhance
the durability and performance  characteristics of the end product.  Some of the
Company's  fabrics  benefit from  additional  chemical and mechanical  finishing
processes  designed  to  enhance  their  appearance,  texture  or "hand"  and/or
performance  characteristics.  A final product  quality  inspection is conducted
prior to shipment to the Company's customers.

        To  improve  asset  utilization  rates,  overall  conversion  costs  and
quality, Quaker has introduced "lean manufacturing" principles in various of its
manufacturing operations. These principles involve a flattening of the Company's
manufacturing  management  structure,  plant layouts designed to ensure a smooth
continuous flow of product through the manufacturing  process and an emphasis on
inventory reduction and continuous process improvements.

        Since 1988, the United Kingdom has had a flammability  standard in place
applicable  to all  upholstery  fabrics  sold in the  U.K.,  including  products
imported into the U.K. market from other  countries.  To ensure  compliance with
this regulatory standard, the

                                       6



Company devoted considerable  resources to the successful development of fabrics
which would meet the performance  specifications set forth in the standard.  For
the past several years,  the United States  Consumer  Product Safety  Commission
(the  "CPSC")  has  also  been  working  on the  development  of an  upholstered
furniture  flammability  standard, and the Company has played a lead role in the
shaping of these proposed  regulations.  Management believes the adoption by the
CPSC of new  regulations  in this area, if that were to occur,  would not likely
have a  material  adverse  effect on the  Company's  results  of  operations  or
financial  condition and that, prior to the effective date of such  regulations,
if any, the Company would be able to make such changes in its fabric designs and
manufacturing processes as would be required to ensure the Company's compliance.

        In January 2006, the federal Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA")
launched  a  global  stewardship  program  inviting  companies  to  reduce  PFOA
(Perfluorooctanoic  acid)  releases  and its  presence  in products by 95% by no
later than 2010 and to work toward the  elimination of these sources of exposure
no later than 2015 due to the  possibility  that at some point in the future the
EPA  could  determine  PFOA to be a likely  carcinogen.  Certain  of the  fabric
finishes  used by the  Company to improve  the stain  resistance  properties  of
Quaker's products may release trace amounts of PFOA as a result of the breakdown
of  fluorotelomers  over  time.  Although  studies  done by  DuPont,  one of the
Company's fabric finish suppliers,  indicate "the use of consumer articles based
on fluorotelomers  would not result in any detectable  exposure to PFOA," Quaker
is working with the Company's  principal  fabric finish  supplier to assist with
the  reformulation  of the supplier's  product in a manner  consistent  with the
EPA's  stewardship  program.  It is not clear whether the use of a  reformulated
product will result in any increased  costs to the Company.  In the event of any
cost increases, there can be no assurance that the Company would be able to pass
such cost increases on to its customers.  If it is unable to, the Company may be
adversely affected.

        All of the Company's active looms are equipped with electronic  Jacquard
heads,  maximizing the Company's ability to design its products to meet customer
needs, without equipment-related design constraints. To reduce the per pick cost
of producing  certain  fabrics not requiring the use of Jacquard  heads,  Quaker
also maintains 18 Dobby looms.

        The Company's fabrics are generally shipped directly to its customers on
an FOB Fall  River  or FOB  warehouse  basis.  The  Company  also  supplies  its
distribution  centers with an  appropriate  selection  of fabrics for  customers
needing immediate delivery, with Quaker's Mississippi warehouse stocking a broad
selection  of Global  Line(TM)  fabrics  and the  Company's  High  Point,  North
Carolina distribution center offering a cut-to-order program on selected fabrics
for the middle to better-end furniture manufacturers located in that area.

QUALITY ASSURANCE

        Management  believes that product  quality is a significant  competitive
factor in both the domestic and international  fabric markets.  Quaker's quality
initiatives include:

        o   Inspection  of  incoming  raw  materials  to  ensure  they  meet the
            Company's product  specifications  and to provide prompt feedback to
            vendors when defects are discovered so that  corrective  actions may
            be undertaken immediately.

        o   A final quality inspection of the Company's yarn and fabric products
            before they are released for shipment.

        o   Continuous  monitoring of the Company's performance against industry
            standards and its own internal quality standards.

        In addition to these measures, the built-in quality control features and
precision  settings on much of the Company's  production  equipment also support
the Company's efforts to provide defect-free products to its customers.

        The  Company's  quality-related  return rate,  as a percentage  of total
yards  shipped,  was 0.58% in 2006 and 0.38% in 2005,  and the Company  sold 0.5
million  yards of  second-quality  fabric  into the seconds  market  during 2006
compared to 0.9 million yards during 2005.

TECHNOLOGY

        The use of technology to improve  productivity  and decision making is a
key component of Quaker's overall strategy. Microprocessor-based control systems
in the production  equipment used for yarn  manufacturing,  weaving,  and fabric
finishing,  along with the use of real-time  production  monitoring  controls in
some areas of weaving,  allow for the effective  management  of  throughput  and
quality  in a complex  production  environment.  An  outsourced  enterprise-wide
IP-based  telecommunications  network  provides  a  high  level  of  predictable
performance and cost for both data and voice communications. The use of wireless
RF and  barcoding  technology  reduces  errors and labor costs while  increasing
speed throughout Quaker's new product  development,  production and distribution
processes.

        Newly developed applications to further automate new product development
and design processes are reducing time to market and product introduction costs.
These  tools  allow for  end-to-end  management  of  information  related to the
development  and  introduction  of new  products  as well as  sales,  production
planning and scheduling, materials management, purchasing, inventory management,
and the  management of production  routings.  Each of these  contributes  to the
improvement  of customer  service,  the more  efficient  use of assets,  and the
effective management of inventories.

                                       7



        Other examples of technologies  used by Quaker  include:  computer-aided
design  (CAD)  used to  design  new  patterns  and to  develop  precise  weaving
instructions for electronic  download to the loom heads; a secure web portal for
use by customers in viewing order  information;  a data warehouse used to manage
data and to  provide  information  for  analysis  and  decision  making;  and an
outsourced HR/payroll system that is providing improved services and controls at
a reduced cost.

SOURCES AND AVAILABILITY OF RAW MATERIALS

        Quaker's raw materials consist principally of polypropylene,  polyester,
acrylic, cotton and rayon fibers and yarns for use in its yarn manufacturing and
fabric  weaving  operations,  and latex to backcoat  its  finished  fabrics.  In
addition,  Quaker purchases  commission  dyeing services from various  dyehouses
which dye, to the  Company's  specifications,  certain  fabrics  produced by the
Company and certain of the yarns the Company  produces  internally  or purchases
from  other  manufacturers.   While  the  Company  purchases  its  raw  material
requirements  from both U.S.  and  non-U.S.  based  suppliers,  in 2006,  Quaker
sourced over 90% of its raw materials  from  suppliers in North  America.  It is
important  to  note,  however  that a number  of the  Company's  North  American
suppliers source a significant  amount of their own raw materials from suppliers
around the world.  The Company is dependent  upon outside  suppliers for its raw
material needs, including dyeing services, and is subject to price increases and
delays in receiving  these  materials and services.  The Company's raw materials
are predominantly  petrochemical  products and their prices typically  fluctuate
with  changes  in the  underlying  market  for  petrochemicals  in  general.  In
addition,  the  financial  performance  and/or  condition of a number of textile
industry  suppliers has been hurt by significant  reductions in the overall size
of the U.S.  textile  industry over the past few years,  increasing  the risk of
business  failures and/or further  consolidations  among the Company's  supplier
population and the related risk of disruption to Quaker's operations.

        Although other sources may be available,  the Company currently procures
approximately  85% of its raw  material  components  from eight  major  industry
suppliers.  One of these firms is the sole supplier of a polypropylene  filament
yarn used in  approximately  25% of the Company's  products shipped in 2006, and
the Company  currently does not have an  alternative  supplier in place for this
component.  The  Company  also  sources  a low  melt  polymer  essential  to the
production of Quaker's Ankyra(TM)  chenille yarns from a single supplier.  While
alternate  sources of this  polymer  are  available,  an  unanticipated  need to
transition  to one of these  alternate  sources  could result in a disruption in
Quaker's operations and related shipping delays.

        Approximately  39% of the  Company's  filling  yarns are acrylic and are
purchased from outside  spinners.  With the closure of Solutia Inc. in mid-2005,
Quaker began sourcing acrylic from two primary offshore  producers.  To maintain
customer service levels, the longer lead times associated with offshore sourcing
required the Company to hold additional component safety stock inventory at both
the spinners  used by the Company and at Quaker.  In addition,  during the first
half of 2005 a Canadian  supplier  of acrylic  spun yarns to Quaker  went out of
business.  To arrange for a continuous  flow of these raw materials,  Quaker was
required  to  source  these  spun  yarn  products  from  another  Canadian  yarn
manufacturer with which Quaker had worked in the past.

        In January 2006, the federal Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA")
launched  a  global  stewardship  program  inviting  companies  to  reduce  PFOA
(Perfluorooctanoic  acid)  releases  and its  presence  in products by 95% by no
later than 2010 and to work toward the  elimination of these sources of exposure
no later than 2015 due to the  possibility  that at some point in the future the
EPA  could  determine  PFOA to be a likely  carcinogen.  Certain  of the  fabric
finishes  used by the  Company to improve  the stain  resistance  properties  of
Quaker's products may release trace amounts of PFOA as a result of the breakdown
of  fluorotelomers  over  time.  Although  studies  done by  DuPont,  one of the
Company's fabric finish suppliers,  indicate "the use of consumer articles based
on fluorotelomers  would not result in any detectable  exposure to PFOA," Quaker
is working with the Company's  principal  fabric finish  supplier to assist with
the  reformulation  of the supplier's  product in a manner  consistent  with the
EPA's  stewardship  program.  It is not clear whether the use of a  reformulated
product will result in any increased  costs to the Company.  In the event of any
cost increases, there can be no assurance that the Company would be able to pass
such cost increases on to its customers.  If it is unable to, the Company may be
adversely affected.

         Although Quaker expects that it will be able to obtain adequate amounts
of raw materials to meet its future  requirements,  and as a matter of corporate
policy,  attempts to identify  alternate  sources for all  critical raw material
components,  an increase in the price of or a shortage  or  interruption  in the
supply of any critical  component  could have a material  adverse  effect on the
Company.

        The  Company's   production   operations  are  heavily  reliant  upon  a
consistent  supply of  energy,  including  electricity  to power  the  Company's
manufacturing  equipment,  natural  gas to  generate  the heat used in  Quaker's
finishing  operations and oil to heat the Company's  office areas. A significant
shortage or  interruption  in the  availability  of these energy  sources  would
likely have a material adverse effect on the Company's  operations and financial
performance.  Beginning  in the  latter  part of  2000,  the  Company  began  to
experience  rising  energy  costs.  To help  provide  the Company  with  greater
stability and to reduce the impact of rising energy costs,  during 2001,  Quaker
entered into a contract to purchase its electrical power requirements at a fixed
price through  December 2004.  Upon  expiration of this  agreement,  the Company
began purchasing 60% of its electricity requirements at the default rate and the
balance  at an  "hour to hour"  rate.  The  Company  experienced  a  significant
increase  in its energy  costs  during 2006 and  remains  vulnerable  to further
energy  price  increases  with  respect to both its pure energy costs and energy
cost-related increases in its raw material prices.

COMPETITION

        The markets for the Company's  products are highly  competitive  and the
U.S.   textile   industry,   in   general,   has  been   hit  hard  by   foreign
imports--particularly  from China.  Competitive factors in the upholstery fabric
business include product design,  styling,  price, customer service and quality.
While  competitive  pricing is  important  at every  price  point,  it is a more
important  competitive factor in the promotional-end of the market than it is in
the middle to  better-end  of the market,  where  competition  is weighted  more
heavily  toward fabric  styling and design  considerations.  Recently,  cost and
other factors have afforded imported fabrics a significant competitive advantage
in the domestic market. Imported furniture coverings,  including leather, fabric
in both roll and "kit" form, and faux suede products were estimated to represent
approximately  42% of sales into the U.S. fabric market during 2004, up from 29%
in 2003  and 11% in  2002,  and  management  believes  that  sales  of  imported
furniture coverings currently account for approximately 60% of total U.S. fabric
sales. Although the design,  delivery and quality performance of domestic fabric
mills can provide  U.S.  fabric  manufacturers  with an advantage in some market
segments, strong demand for imported products can be expected to continue in the
absence of a change in U.S. trade policy or other international developments.

        Several  of the  companies  with  which the  Company  competes  may have
greater  financial  resources than the Company.  The Company's  products compete
with other upholstery fabrics and furniture coverings, including prints, flocks,
tufts, velvets,  suede and leather, with leather, faux suede and plain furniture
coverings  generating  strong  demand over the past few years,  primarily at the
expense of woven  fabrics,  such as the Jacquards and other woven fabrics Quaker
manufactures in its Fall River facilities.

        During 2005, the Company's yarn sales business continued to be adversely
affected  by  diminished  demand  for  products  manufactured  by the  Company's
customers in the home  furnishings and apparel markets,  however,  the Company's
sales to the craft  yarn  market  grew  significantly  during  the  first  three
quarters of the year,  with sales to one craft yarn customer  representing  more
than 75% of the  Company's  2005 yarn sales.  Sales to that craft yarn  customer
dropped  off  significantly  during  the  fourth  quarter  of 2005 due to excess
inventory at retail. This situation continued throughout 2006, and the Company's
craft yarn sales have remained depressed.

BACKLOG

        As of  December  30,  2006,  the  Company  had firm  orders  pending for
approximately  $8.4 million of fabric and yarn  compared to $11.3  million as of
December 31, 2005. The Company's  backlog  position at any given time may not be
indicative of the Company's long-term performance.

TRADEMARKS, PATENTS, COPYRIGHTS

        The Company seeks  copyright  protection  for all new fabric  designs it
creates,  and management believes that the copyrights owned by the Company serve
as a deterrent to those  industry  participants  which might  otherwise  seek to
replicate  the  Company's  unique  fabric  designs.  In June 1995,  the  Company
introduced a new collection of fabrics featuring Quaker's proprietary Ankyra(TM)
chenille yarns. In 1997, the United States Patent and Trademark  Office issued a
patent to the Company protecting the proprietary manufacturing process developed
by Quaker to produce these yarns.  The Company's  Davol(R),  Quaker Ultra(R) and
Whitaker(R)  marks,  as well as a logo form of the "W(R)" mark,  are  registered
with  the U.S.  Patent  and  Trademark  Office.  Quaker's  brands  also  include
Replay(TM),  used in connection with the Company's  recycled  polyester program;
Terrazzo(TM),  the brand under which the Company's outdoor fabrics are marketed;
and Quaker  Global(TM),  which is used to  identify  the fabrics the Company has
sourced offshore.  In addition,  the Company has filed patent  applications with
the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect its intellectual property rights
in several new  technologies  and  processes  created by the  Company's  product
development  staff,  including certain laminated  products,  Quaker's  Regal(TM)
chenilles,  and a continuous washing and post finishing process.  The Company is
also a party to a non-exclusive  licensing  agreement with Hi-Tex,  Inc. for the
use of its patented  Crypton(R)  finish for certain of the Company's fabrics for
the contract market.

INSURANCE

        The Company  maintains  general  liability and property  insurance.  The
costs of insurance  coverage  vary  generally  and the  availability  of certain
coverages can change.  Following  the events of September 11, 2001,  the Company
experienced  significant  increases  in the  premium  rates  on  certain  of its
insurance coverages and certain changes were made in the insurance carriers used
by the  Company  and in the  terms  and  conditions  of  some  of the  Company's
insurance  policies.  Although premium rates for most coverages purchased by the
Company have dropped  since the  significant  increases  experienced  during the
first round of  post-September  11  renewals,  most rates have not  decreased to
their  pre-September  11 levels.  While the  Company  believes  that its present
insurance  coverage is  adequate  for its  current  operations,  there can be no
assurance that the coverage is sufficient for all future claims or will continue
to be available in adequate amounts or at reasonable rates.

EMPLOYEES

        As of December 30, 2006,  Quaker had 1,008 active  employees,  including
772 production  employees,  83 technical and clerical employees,  and 153 exempt
employees and commissioned sales representatives.  In addition, as of that date,
the Company also had 355 individuals on leave,  including  individuals on layoff
status and individuals entitled to benefits under the federal Family and Medical
Leave Act  and/or  one or more of the  various  medical  and  disability  fringe
benefit programs maintained by the Company;

                                       9



compared  to 374  individuals  on  leave  as of  year-end  2005.  The  Company's
employees are not  represented by a labor union,  and  management  believes that
employee  relations are good. The Company's  operations are heavily dependent on
the availability of labor in the Fall River, Massachusetts area.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

        THE COMPANY HAS EXPERIENCED  RECURRING LOSSES FROM OPERATIONS AND FAILED
TO ACHIEVE  CERTAIN DEBT  COVENANTS IN ITS SENIOR SECURED  REVOLVING  CREDIT AND
TERM LOAN  AGREEMENT  DURING  FISCAL  2006 AND  FISCAL  2005.  AS A RESULT,  THE
UNQUALIFIED OPINION ISSUED BY QUAKER'S INDEPENDENT  REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM ON THE COMPANY'S FISCAL 2005 FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS  INCLUDED AN EXPLANATORY
PARAGRAPH RAISING SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT THE ABILITY OF THE COMPANY TO CONTINUE
AS A GOING CONCERN.  (SEE ITEM 8. FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.)
THE  UNQUALIFIED  OPINION  ISSUED  BY  QUAKER'S  INDEPENDENT  REGISTERED  PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING  FIRM ON THE  COMPANY'S  FISCAL 2006  FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS  DOES NOT
INCLUDE ANY EXPRESSION OF SUBSTANTIAL  DOUBT ABOUT THE ABILITY OF THE COMPANY TO
CONTINUE  AS A GOING  CONCERN.  NONETHELESS,  AN  INVESTMENT  IN  SHARES  OF THE
COMPANY'S  COMMON  STOCK  INVOLVES  A HIGH  DEGREE  OF RISK.  IN  ADDITION,  THE
COMPANY'S  OPERATING RESULTS ARE SUBJECT TO QUARTERLY AND ANNUAL FLUCTUATIONS AS
A RESULT OF A NUMBER OF FACTORS. SUCH FACTORS INCLUDE:

        WE MAY BREACH ONE OR MORE OF THE COVENANTS IN OUR 2006 LOAN  AGREEMENTS.
If the Company is unable to meet its obligations under its 2006 Loan Agreements,
as  hereinafter  defined,  in the  future,  there can be no  assurance  that the
lenders  will  agree  to any  amendments  needed,  and in the  absence  of  such
amendments, the Company would be in default and our lenders would have the right
to accelerate payment of the outstanding balance of our loans, which as of March
29, 2007, was approximately $33.1 million.  If our lenders were to exercise this
right,  it is  highly  unlikely  that we would be able to  repay  the debt  from
existing  resources.  Under  these  circumstances,   we  would  expect  to  seek
alternative financing arrangements that would enable us to repay the debt. There
can be no assurance  as to when or whether we would be able to complete  such an
arrangement on terms acceptable to us or at all.

        WE NEED TO  CAREFULLY  MANAGE OUR CASH.  Our ability to meet our current
obligations  depends on our access to trade credit,  our operating cash flow and
our ability to borrow under the terms of our 2006 Revolving Credit Agreement, as
hereinafter defined,  with our ability to borrow under the 2006 Revolving Credit
Agreement a function of our Eligible Accounts  Receivable,  Eligible  Inventory,
Availability  and Availability  Reserve,  as those terms are defined in the 2006
Revolving  Credit  Agreement.  Increases  in  the  Availability  Reserve  reduce
Availability  and thus reduce our  ability to borrow and our access to cash.  In
like manner,  decreases in the Availability  Reserve  increase  Availability and
thus  increase  our ability to borrow and our access to cash.  We need to manage
our  inventory  levels,  accounts  receivable,   accounts  payable  and  capital
expenditures to provide  adequate  resources to meet our  anticipated  operating
needs,  maximize  our cash flow and  reduce  our need to  borrow  under the 2006
Revolving  Credit  Agreement.  Our cash  position may be  adversely  affected by
factors we cannot completely control,  including but not limited to, a reduction
in incoming order rates,  production rates, sales, and accounts  receivable,  as
well as delays in receipt of payment of accounts  receivable and  limitations of
trade credit.  Unused  Availability  under the 2006 Revolving  Credit  Agreement
fluctuates daily.  On March 29, 2007,  unused Availability was $2.0 million, net
of the $4.4 million Availability Reserve.

        OUR CASH  RESOURCES  AND OUR ABILITY TO BORROW UNDER OUR 2006  REVOLVING
CREDIT AGREEMENT MAY NOT BE ADEQUATE TO FUND OUR OPERATIONS. We have in the past
generated  significant  financial losses. If we generate  significant  financial
losses in the future,  our cash  resources  and our ability to borrow  under the
2006  Revolving  Credit  Agreement  may not be adequate to fund our  operations.
Based on current  assessments,  we will need  adequate  access to cash and other
capital in order to execute  our  restructuring  plan and to support our product
and market  development  efforts and other operational needs. This investment is
critical  in order to  maintain  and  grow  our  business.  We may seek to raise
additional capital in any number of ways, including through the issuance of debt
or equity, or through other financing. If we are able to borrow funds, we likely
will be obligated to make periodic interest or other debt service payments,  and
the terms of this debt may  impose  burdensome  restrictions  on our  ability to
operate  our  business.  If  we  seek  financing  through  the  sale  of  equity
securities,  our current  stockholders  may suffer dilution in their  percentage
ownership  of common  stock.  Additionally,  due to our  history of  significant
losses, we are not certain as to our ability to raise additional  capital in the
future or under what terms capital would be available. If we are unable to raise
capital on terms and conditions  that are favorable to us, our business could be
negatively affected, which could cause our stock price to decline. Specifically,
if we do have adequate  access to cash and other  capital,  we will have to take
various  actions  that may  include,  but not be limited to, a reduction  in our
expenditures for new product and new market development  initiatives and further
reductions  in  our  overhead  expenses.   These  actions,  should  they  become
necessary, will probably result in significant further reductions in the size of
our operations.

        WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PAY OFF OR REFINANCE  DEBT  OBLIGATIONS  THAT FALL
DUE IN FISCAL 2007 THROUGH 2010. The Company has  substantial  debt  obligations
that fall due in 2010 and  which the  Company  would be  required  to pay off or
refinance.  There can be no assurance that the Company will have sufficient cash
to satisfy these  obligations.  As of March 29, 2007, total debt outstanding was
$33.1 million, including $21.7 million under the 2006 Term  Loan  Agreements  as
hereinafter   defined,  and  $11.4  million  under  the  2006  Revolving  Credit
Agreement. In addition, the Company's 2006 Term Loan Agreements are secured by a
first  priority  security  interest  in all of the  Company's  real  estate  and
equipment  and the  permit the lender to  conduct  annual  re-appraisals  of the
Company's real estate and semi-annual  re-appraisals of the Company's  machinery
and equipment. In the event of an "Appraisal Shortfall," as that term is defined
in the 2006 Term Loan  Agreements,  the Company would be required to make a cash
payment to the lender in an amount equal to the difference between the appraised
value  of the  asset or  assets  as of the most  recent  appraisal  date and the
updated  appraised value  established  through the  re-appraisal  process.  This
"make-whole"  payment would need to be made within a relatively  short period of
time following notice to the Company of an Appraisal Shortfall. As a result, the
possibility  exists that the  Company's  Availability  under the 2006  Revolving
Credit  Agreement would be inadequate to fund the make-whole  payment  required,
resulting in

                                       11



a  default  under  the  2006  Term  Loans - and  because  of the  cross  default
provisions  in the 2006  Loan  Agreements,  a  related  default  under  the 2006
Revolving Credit Agreement.

        OUR RESTRUCTURING  EFFORTS ARE CREATING SHORT-TERM COSTS THAT MAY NOT BE
OFFSET BY INCREASED  EFFICIENCIES.  In connection with management's execution of
Quaker's  restructuring  plan,  we have  implemented  a number of  manufacturing
realignment  and cost savings  programs and we anticipate  the need to implement
similar  programs  in the  future.  Such  programs  have  and  can  include  the
consolidation and integration of facilities,  functions,  systems and procedures
and have and may result in a decrease in near-term  earnings  until the expected
cost reductions are achieved.  In addition,  certain  products have been shifted
from domestic  manufacturing to offshore sourcing and additional products may be
shifted to offshore sourcing in the future. Such actions may not be accomplished
as quickly as anticipated  and the expected cost  reductions may not be achieved
in full or at all.

        We are incurring  substantial costs in connection with our restructuring
efforts,  including severance obligations,  moving costs, advisor fees and lease
obligations for unused  property.  Though we anticipate  that the  restructuring
will ultimately result in reduced general and  administrative  expenses and more
efficient  corporate  operations,  we can  give  no  assurance  that  we will be
successful in redefining our cost and  operational  structures in the near term.
If we are not successful, we may not recoup our investment, which may negatively
impact our results of operations.

        OUR SALES HAVE BEEN DECLINING,  AND WE HAVE REPORTED OPERATING LOSSES IN
EACH OF THE TEN CONSECUTIVE  FISCAL QUARTERS ENDED DECEMBER 30, 2006. WE MAY NOT
BE ABLE TO RESTORE THE COMPANY TO  PROFITABILITY.  On a comparative  basis,  our
sales have declined  quarter-to-quarter  in each of the ten consecutive quarters
ended December 30, 2006.  Primarily as a result of our declining  sales, we also
have reported  operating  losses in each of the ten consecutive  fiscal quarters
ended  December  30,  2006.  Quaker  has a  restructuring  plan in place that is
intended  to restore  the  Company to  profitability.  The key  elements of this
restructuring  plan  include:  (i)  stabilizing  revenues  from  our  U.S.-based
residential  fabric  business by  concentrating  our marketing  efforts on those
markets least sensitive to imported products;  (ii) reducing our operating costs
enough to  compensate  for the drop we have  experienced  in our revenues  since
Fiscal  2002;  (iii)  selling  excess  assets;  (iv)  developing   strategically
important  commercial  relationships  with a limited number of carefully  chosen
offshore  fabric  mills  so that we can  recapture  the  share  of the  domestic
residential market that we have lost over the past few years to foreign imports;
and (v) generating  additional  profitable  sales by penetrating the outdoor and
contract  fabric markets.  Successfully  executing our  restructuring  plan will
require considerable operational,  management,  financial,  sales and marketing,
supply chain,  information  systems and design  expertise  involving the need to
continually  recruit,  train and  retain  qualified  personnel.  There can be no
assurance  that  the  Company  will  have the  resources,  including  the  human
resources,  needed to manage execution of its restructuring plan effectively, or
maintain its current sales levels.  Accordingly,  there can be no assurance that
we will be able to successfully  execute our restructuring  plan and restore the
Company to profitability.

        WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EFFECTIVELY MANAGE THE OUTSOURCING ARRANGEMENTS WE
HAVE PUT IN PLACE WITH NON-U.S. FABRIC MANUFACTURERS.  A critical element of our
restructuring  plan calls for the  Company to  increase  its  offshore  (import)
capabilities  to provide  flexibility  in product  programs  and pricing to meet
competitive  pressures.  Offshore  (import)  sourcing is subject to, among other
things,  political  instability in countries where contractors and suppliers are
located and possible  delays due to managing at a distance  and shipping  delays
and  interruptions.  Either  could  make it more  difficult  for the  Company to
service its customers.  Other risks include the  imposition of  regulations  and
quotas  relating to imports;  duties,  taxes and other  charges on imports;  and
significant  fluctuation  in  the  value  of the  U.S.  dollar  against  foreign
currencies, all of which could increase costs and decrease earnings.  Management
of these outsourcing arrangements will place significant increased demand on the
Company's operational,  managerial and administrative  resources,  including the
resources  allocated  by the  Company to customs  matters  and other  compliance
issues related to our  participation  in the global  marketplace as both a buyer
and a seller.  These  increased  demands  could cause the Company to operate its
core domestic  residential  fabric business and Fall  River-based  manufacturing
operations less  effectively,  which in turn could cause a deterioration  in our
profitability.

        OUR INCREASED  RELIANCE ON OFFSHORE FABRIC SOURCING  ARRANGEMENTS  COULD
ADVERSELY  AFFECT OUR  ABILITY  TO SERVICE  CUSTOMERS  WHICH  COULD  RESULT IN A
DECREASE  IN OUR SALES.  Successful  execution  of our  restructuring  plan will
necessarily  entail an  increase  in our  involvement  in the global  upholstery
fabric market,  including but not limited to Quaker's  importation into the U.S.
market of a  significant  amount of  finished  fabrics in both roll and kit form
from various foreign sources, particularly China and South Korea. The roll goods
and furniture kits we source outside the U.S. will then be sold to both our U.S.
domestic furniture  manufacturing  customers and to our international  customers
around  the world.  Disruptions  to our supply  chain  could  result in the late
arrival or  unavailability  of finished goods for resale,  resulting in customer
dissatisfaction and having a material adverse effect on Quaker's reputation, our
sales and marketing initiatives and our future revenues.

        ASSET  WRITE-OFFS  REQUIRED  IN  CONNECTION  WITH THE  EXECUTION  OF OUR
RESTRUCTURING  PLAN HAVE  RESULTED  IN A DECREASE  IN  EARNINGS  AND  ADDITIONAL
WRITE-OFFS ARE POSSIBLE.  Accounting  rules require that the Company's  tangible
assets,  such  as real  estate  and  machinery  and  equipment,  be  tested  for
impairment  immediately  upon the occurrence of certain events.  The Company has
substantial   tangible   assets,    including    significant    investments   in
special-purpose machinery and equipment useful only in the production of certain
types  of yarns or  fabrics.  Changes  in the  Company's  product  mix or in the
various  internally-produced  components used in the production of the Company's
novelty  yarns or  fabrics  could  result  in the  idling of some or all of this
equipment,  requiring  the  Company  to test for  impairment  of  these  assets.
Depending  upon the outcome of these  tests,  the  Company  could be required to
write-down  all or a  portion  of these  assets,  resulting  in a  corresponding
reduction in Quaker's earnings and net worth. During 2006, this

                                       12



testing process resulted in the need for Quaker to write-off approximately $21.5
million of  buildings,  machinery  and  equipment  determined  to be impaired in
accordance with these accounting rules.

        FURTHER LOSS OF MARKET SHARE DUE TO COMPETITION  WOULD RESULT IN FURTHER
DECREASES IN SALES AND EARNINGS. The residential upholstery fabric manufacturing
business is highly  competitive,  fragmented  and has recently  been hit hard by
foreign  imports.  As a result,  we face  significant  competition from numerous
competitors,  many of which are  larger  and  better  capitalized.  The  Company
competes with many other manufacturers,  including  manufacturers located in low
labor cost countries, such as China and India, where their lower cost structures
provide them with a  significant  competitive  advantage,  particularly  when it
comes to the  production of commodity  products for the  promotional  end of the
U.S. domestic  residential market. The highly competitive nature of the industry
means the Company is  constantly  subject to the risk of losing  market share to
those privately held competitors who have lower sales and profitability targets.
As a result,  the  Company may not be able to maintain or to raise the prices of
its products in response to inflationary  pressures,  such as increasing  labor,
materials  and energy  costs.  Also due to the large number of  competitors  and
their  wide  range  of  product  offerings,  the  Company  may  not be  able  to
differentiate  its  products  (through  styling,  finish and other  construction
techniques) from those of its competitors.

        OUR  REVENUES  COULD  CONTINUE  TO BE  ADVERSELY  AFFECTED  BY  LOW-COST
IMPORTED MERCHANDISE. Competition in our industry is intense, from both domestic
fabric mills and fabric mills located  outside the U.S.  manufacturing  products
for  sale  into  the U.S.  market.  In  addition,  there  has been a recent  and
significant  increase in imports of both furniture  coverings,  in both roll and
"kit"  form,  and  fully  upholstered   furniture,   particularly   leather  and
microdenier faux suede products,  into the U.S. market.  Industry data indicates
that  sales  of  imported  fabrics  in both  roll  and  "kit"  form  represented
approximately  42% of total U.S.  fabric sales during 2004,  up from 29% in 2003
and  11%  in  2002.  Current  estimates  suggest  that  this  percentage  is now
approximately 60%. This has resulted in diminished demand for our products,  had
a  deflationary  effect on  pricing  in our  industry,  reduced  our  ability to
increase  our selling  prices to pass cost  increases on to our  customers,  and
required us in some cases to reduce our selling prices.

        FAILURE TO  ANTICIPATE  OR RESPOND  TO  CHANGES IN  CONSUMER  TASTES AND
FASHION TRENDS IN A TIMELY MANNER COULD RESULT IN A DECREASE IN FUTURE SALES AND
EARNINGS.  Competitive factors in the upholstery fabric business include product
design, styling, price, customer service and quality. The Company's products are
predominantly  Jacquard and plain woven fabrics.  The Company's  fabric products
compete with other furniture coverings,  including leather,  suede,  microdenier
"faux  suede,"  prints,  tufts,  flocks and velvets,  for  consumer  acceptance.
Residential  furniture is a highly styled product  subject to fashion trends and
geographic consumer tastes.  Consumer tastes in upholstered  furniture coverings
are cyclical and change over time,  sometimes  rapidly,  with various  coverings
gaining or losing share depending on changes in home  furnishing  trends and the
amount of retail floor space allocated to various upholstered  furniture product
categories  at any given time.  For example,  leather  furniture  and  furniture
covered with  microdenier  faux suede products,  primarily  imported in roll and
"kit" form from low labor  cost  countries,  particularly  China,  have  enjoyed
strong  demand  over the past  few  years,  primarily  at the  expense  of woven
fabrics, such as the Jacquards and other woven fabrics Quaker manufactures,  and
in some retail furniture stores, these products may occupy as much as 50% of the
floor space allocated to upholstered furniture products.

        If the Company is unable to anticipate or respond to changes in consumer
tastes and fashion trends in a timely manner it may lose sales and be faced with
excess  inventory  (both raw materials and finished  goods).  Disposal of excess
inventory may result in a decrease in sales and earnings.

        QUAKER IS VERY DEPENDENT ON A LIMITED NUMBER OF RAW MATERIAL  SUPPLIERS.
The Company is  dependent  upon  outside  suppliers  for all of its raw material
needs,  including dyeing services,  and is subject to price increases and delays
in receiving these materials and services.  The raw materials are  predominantly
petrochemical products and their prices fluctuate with changes in the underlying
petrochemical  market in general.  Future  price  levels of raw  materials  will
depend on world-wide  supply and demand  conditions,  the general inflation rate
and  overall  economic   conditions.   During  2005,  the  Company   experienced
significant  increases in certain raw material prices,  which it was not able to
pass fully  through to its  customers  and which  contributed  to a  significant
reduction in the Company's 2005 gross margin.  Similar  conditions in the future
could have a material  adverse effect on the Company.  In addition,  a number of
our domestic  suppliers  have been hurt by reduced  demand  related to the rapid
increase in imported  fabrics into the U.S.  market.  Although  other sources of
supply are available,  the Company currently  procures  approximately 40% of its
raw materials from Unifi, Inc. and American Fibers and Yarns  ("American"),  and
American is the sole supplier of a filament yarn used in the Company's  chenille
manufacturing  operations.  A  shortage  or  interruption  in the  supply of any
critical component could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

        WE ARE IMPORTING  SOME CRITICAL RAW  MATERIALS  FROM FOREIGN  SUPPLIERS.
During 2006,  approximately  8% of the acrylic fibers and yarns that go into the
upholstery  fabrics  and  novelty  yarns we make was  sourced  outside  the U.S.
Changes in exchange  rates could affect the price the Company pays for these raw
materials, resulting in the Company's need to either increase the selling prices
of its fabrics and yarns--which  could, of course,  result in lower  volumes--or
accept lower gross margins on their sale. In addition,  any  interruption in the
supply of these components could result in serious disruptions in our production
operations,  impair our ability to fill customer orders and,  therefore,  have a
material adverse affect on our sales, profitability and financial condition.

        ANY  INCREASE  IN  ENERGY  COSTS IS LIKELY  TO ERODE  OUR  MARGINS.  The
Company's production  operations are heavily reliant upon a consistent supply of
energy,  including electricity to power the Company's  manufacturing  equipment,
natural gas to generate the heat

                                       13



used in  Quaker's  finishing  operations  and oil to heat the  Company's  office
areas.  A significant  shortage or  interruption  in the  availability  of these
energy  sources  would likely have a material  adverse  effect on the  Company's
operations and financial performance.  Beginning in the latter part of 2000, the
Company  began to experience  rising  energy costs.  To help provide the Company
with greater  stability and to reduce the impact of rising energy costs,  during
2001,   Quaker  entered  into  a  contract  to  purchase  its  electrical  power
requirements  at a fixed price through  December 2004.  Upon  expiration of this
agreement,  the Company began purchasing 60% of its electricity  requirements at
the  default  rate  and the  balance  at an "hour to  hour"  rate.  The  Company
experienced a  significant  increase in its energy costs during 2005 and remains
vulnerable  to further  energy  price  increases  with  respect to both its pure
energy costs and energy cost-related increases in its raw materials prices.

        A SIGNIFICANT  PORTION OF OUR ANNUAL  REVENUES COMES FROM FOREIGN SALES.
In 2006,  foreign sales  totaled  $24.8 million or 16.9% of the Company's  gross
fabric sales. A reduction in the volume of international trade,  fluctuations in
currency exchange rates, political instability or an economic downturn in any of
the export markets  important to the Company,  or any material  restrictions  on
international  trade could have a material  adverse  effect on the  Company.  In
addition,  the  Company's  2006 gross  fabric sales to customers in four foreign
countries  were  $19.2  million  in the  aggregate,  representing  77.6%  of the
Company's  total gross  foreign  sales and 12.8% of the  Company's  gross fabric
sales. There can be no assurance that economic, political or other events in any
foreign market will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.

        BUSINESS  FAILURES OF LARGE  CUSTOMERS COULD RESULT IN A DECREASE IN THE
COMPANY'S FUTURE SALES AND EARNINGS. Although the Company has no single customer
which alone represents 10% or more of its total annual sales, the possibility of
business failures of large customers could have a material adverse effect on our
sales,  profitability and financial  condition and could result in a decrease in
our future sales and earnings in that these sales are difficult to replace.

        OUR BAD DEBT  EXPERIENCE  MAY  DIFFER  MATERIALLY  FROM  OUR  ESTIMATES.
Substantially   all  of  the  Company's  trade  accounts   receivable  are  from
manufacturers of residential  furniture.  Management monitors the payment status
and  periodically  performs  credit  evaluations  of these  customers.  However,
changes in  creditworthiness  can occur  rapidly and  unanticipated  losses from
trade accounts receivable could occur in excess of the outstanding allowance for
losses.   Therefore,   there  can  be  no  assurance   that  total  losses  from
uncollectible  accounts will not exceed the allowance.  Such losses could have a
material adverse effect on our profitability and financial condition.

        AN ECONOMIC  DOWNTURN COULD RESULT IN A DECREASE IN THE COMPANY'S  SALES
AND EARNINGS.  Overall  demand levels in the  upholstery  fabric  industry are a
function of overall  demand for household  furniture.  For most  individuals,  a
decision to buy upholstered  furniture represents both a discretionary  purchase
and a relatively large expenditure.  As a result,  demand is affected by general
economic conditions, population demographics, new household formations, consumer
confidence  and disposable  income  levels,  sales of new and existing homes and
interest  rates.  In  general,  aggregate  demand is higher  during  periods  of
economic  strength and lower during periods of economic weakness or uncertainty.
Adverse economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

        WE ARE VERY DEPENDENT ON OUR COMPUTER SYSTEMS. The effective functioning
of Quaker's management  information  systems,  including its Enterprise Resource
Planning and Advanced  Planning  ("APS")  systems,  is critical to the Company's
ability to manage both its  administrative  and  manufacturing  operations.  Any
significant performance problem with these systems would have a material adverse
effect on Quaker's ability to manage its accounting, order processing, materials
purchasing  and  inventory  management,  scheduling  and shipping and  invoicing
functions,  resulting  in  significant  downtime in Quaker's  production  areas,
inefficient  production,  delays in filling and invoicing orders, and shortfalls
in our operating results.

        A SUCCESSFUL  PRODUCT  LIABILITY  CLAIM  BROUGHT  AGAINST THE COMPANY IN
EXCESS OF AVAILABLE  INSURANCE  COVERAGE  WOULD RESULT IN A DECREASE IN EARNINGS
AND ANY CLAIM OR PRODUCT  RECALL THAT RESULTS IN SIGNIFICANT  ADVERSE  PUBLICITY
AGAINST THE COMPANY MAY RESULT IN A DECREASE IN SALES AND EARNINGS.  The Company
faces the  business  risk of exposure to product  liability  claims in the event
that the use of any of its  products  results  in  personal  injury or  property
damage. In the event that any of its products prove to be defective, the Company
may be required  to recall or  redesign  such  products.  The Company  maintains
insurance against product  liability claims,  but there can be no assurance that
such  coverage  will  continue to be available on terms  acceptable to it, or at
all, or that such coverage will be adequate for liabilities actually incurred.

        WE MUST COMPLY WITH A NUMBER OF GOVERNMENTAL  REGULATIONS  APPLICABLE TO
OUR  BUSINESS  OPERATIONS.  In  May  1998,  the  U.S.  Consumer  Product  Safety
Commission (the "CPSC") began reviewing whether to propose a standard to address
the hazards associated with small open flame ignitions of upholstered furniture.
The Company is unable to predict when or if any such standard will be adopted or
the  effect  the  adoption  of any  standard  would  have  on the  Company.  Any
requirement  to treat fabrics for  upholstered  furniture  with flame  retardant
chemicals  would  increase  the  Company's  production  costs.  There  can be no
assurance that the Company would be able to pass any of such increased  costs on
to its customers.  In addition,  any such requirement could adversely affect the
aesthetics of the Company's products resulting in lower demand.

        In January 2006, the EPA launched a global stewardship  program inviting
companies to reduce PFOA  (Perfluorooctanoic  acid) releases and its presence in
products  by 95% by no later  than 2010 and to work  toward the  elimination  of
these sources of exposure no later than 2015 due to the possibility that at some
point in the  future  the EPA could  determine  PFOA to be a likely  carcinogen.
Certain  of the  fabric  finishes  used by the  Company  to  improve  the  stain
resistance properties of Quaker's products may

                                       14



release  trace  amounts of PFOA as a result of the  breakdown of  fluorotelomers
over time.  Although studies done by DuPont,  one of the Company's fabric finish
suppliers,  indicate "the use of consumer articles based on fluorotelomers would
not result in any detectable exposure to PFOA," Quaker is currently working with
the Company's  principal fabric finish supplier to assist this supplier with the
reformulation of its product in a manner  consistent with the EPA's  stewardship
program.  It is not clear whether the use of a reformulated  product will result
in any increased costs to the Company. In the event of any cost increases, there
can be no assurance  that the Company would be able to pass such cost  increases
on to its customers. If it is unable to, the Company may be adversely affected.

        OUR   OPERATIONS  ARE  SUBJECT  TO  NUMEROUS   ENVIRONMENTAL   LAWS  AND
REGULATIONS.  The Company's  operations are subject to numerous federal,  state,
and local laws and regulations pertaining to the discharge of materials into the
environment  or otherwise  relating to the  protection of the  environment.  The
Company's  facilities are located in industrial areas, and, therefore,  there is
the possibility of incurring environmental liabilities as a result of historical
operations  at the  Company's  sites.  Environmental  liability  can  extend  to
previously owned or leased  properties,  properties owned by third parties,  and
properties currently owned or leased by the Company.  Environmental  liabilities
can also be asserted by adjacent landowners or other third parties in toxic tort
litigation.  In  addition,  under  the  Comprehensive   Environmental  Resources
Response,  Compensation,  and Liability Act of 1980, as amended ("CERCLA"),  and
analogous state statutes,  liability can be imposed for the disposal of waste at
sites  targeted  for  cleanup  by  federal  and  state  regulatory  authorities.
Liability under CERCLA is strict as well as joint and several.  Further, certain
of the Company's manufacturing areas are subject to change in the future and any
failure by the  Company to comply  with  present or future  laws or  regulations
could subject it to future liabilities or interruption of production which could
have  a  material  adverse  effect  on the  Company.  Changes  in  environmental
regulations  could  restrict the Company's  ability to expand its  facilities or
require the Company to incur  substantial  unexpected  other  expenses to comply
with such regulations.

        The  Company   accrues  for  estimated   costs   associated  with  known
environmental  matters  when  such  costs  are  probable  and can be  reasonably
estimated.  The actual costs to be incurred for  environmental  remediation  may
vary  from  estimates,  given  the  inherent  uncertainties  in  evaluating  and
estimating environmental liabilities,  including the possible effects of changes
in laws and regulations,  the stage of the remediation process and the magnitude
of  contamination  found  as  the  remediation  progresses.   Environmental  due
diligence reviews conducted by the Company's lenders in connection with Quaker's
November 2006 refinancing  transaction  identified certain regulatory compliance
obligations which the Company failed to meet in a timely fashion.  These reviews
also indicated the need for additional  environmental  site  assessment  work at
certain of the Company's  facilities,  raising the possibility  that the Company
will be required to incur additional future remediation  expenses should further
environmental   conditions  requiring  remediation  be  identified  during  this
process.  The Company has accrued  reserves for  environmental  matters based on
information  presently  available,  and management believes these reserves to be
adequate.  Accordingly,  management  believes the ultimate  disposition of known
environmental  matters will not have a material adverse effect on the liquidity,
capital resources,  business or consolidated  financial position of the Company,
however,  there can be no assurance that  established  reserves will prove to be
adequate  or that the  costs  associated  with  environmental  matters  will not
increase in the future.

        FAILURE TO  MAINTAIN  EFFECTIVE  INTERNAL  CONTROLS IN  ACCORDANCE  WITH
SECTION  404 OF THE  SARBANES-OXLEY  ACT  COULD  HAVE AN  ADVERSE  EFFECT ON OUR
BUSINESS AND STOCK PRICE.  Section 404 of the  Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires us to
evaluate  annually the  effectiveness  of our internal  controls over  financial
reporting as of the end of each fiscal year and to include a  management  report
assessing the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting in
our annual report on Form 10-K. As a  non-accelerated  filer,  Section 404 would
also require our independent registered public accounting firm to attest to, and
report on,  management's  assessment  of our internal  controls  over  financial
reporting with respect to our Fiscal 2008 operations. If we fail to maintain the
adequacy of our internal controls, as such standards are modified,  supplemented
or  amended  from  time to time,  we cannot  assure  you that we will be able to
conclude in the future that we have effective  internal  controls over financial
reporting  in  accordance  with  Section 404. If we fail to maintain a system of
effective  internal  controls,  it could lead to material  misstatements  in our
financial statements and we could fail to meet our reporting obligations,  which
would  likely  cause  investors to lose  confidence  in our  reported  financial
information.  This  could  have an  adverse  effect  on our  business,  hurt our
operating  results  and lead to a  decline  in our  stock  price.  Additionally,
ineffective  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  could  expose  us to
increased  risk of fraud  or  misuse  of  corporate  assets  and  subject  us to
potential delisting from the Nasdaq Stock Market,  regulatory investigations and
civil or criminal sanctions.

        DEPENDENCE  ON  KEY  PERSONNEL.  The  Company's  success  depends  to  a
significant  extent  upon  the  efforts  and  abilities  of  the  Company's  key
employees. The loss of services of one or more of these key employees could have
a material adverse effect on the Company.

        CERTAIN  ANTI-TAKEOVER  PROVISIONS AND PREFERRED STOCK COULD RESULT IN A
DECREASE IN A POTENTIAL  ACQUIRER'S  VALUATION OF THE  COMPANY'S  COMMON  STOCK.
Certain   provisions   of  Delaware  law  and  the  Company's   Certificate   of
Incorporation  could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control
of the  Company,  even  if  such  change  in  control  would  be  beneficial  to
stockholders.  Also, Quaker's Certificate of Incorporation allows the Company to
issue preferred stock without  stockholder  approval.  Such issuances could also
make it more  difficult  for a third party to acquire the Company.  In addition,
under  the  terms  of the  2006  Loan  Agreements,  a Change  in  Control  would
constitute  an Event of  Default,  as those  terms are  defined in the 2006 Loan
Agreements.  And finally, the Company is a party to change in control agreements
with each of Quaker's  officers.  In the event of a Termination of Employment in
connection  with a  Change  in  Control,  as  those  terms  are  defined  in the
agreements, the Company would be obligated to make certain

                                       15



payments,  expressed as a percentage  of cash  compensation,  to the  terminated
officer or officers. These provisions may have the effect of delaying, deferring
or dissuading a potential  acquirer from acquiring  outstanding shares of Common
Stock at a price that represents a premium to the then current trading price.

        THE PRICE OF A SHARE OF THE COMPANY'S  COMMON STOCK COULD FALL BELOW THE
LEVEL REQUIRED BY THE COMPANY'S LISTING AGREEMENT WITH THE NASDAQ GLOBAL MARKET.
The Company's  common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Market.  During 2006,
the sales price per share ranged from a low of $0.92 to a high of $3.00, and the
Company's  common stock is  "thinly-traded."  The possibility  exists that there
could be a further decrease in the share price, particularly if there is further
deterioration in the Company's financial performance. If the price of a share of
the Company's  common stock were to fall below $1.00 for a period of thirty (30)
days, the Company would be in violation of its listing agreement with Nasdaq and
the Company's stock would be "delisted," resulting in a further reduction in the
liquidity of an investment in the Company's common stock.

        The Company also maintains inventory at a third party warehouse provider
in Sao Paulo,  Brazil.  Quaker has sales  offices in Fall River,  Massachusetts;
Guadalajara  and Mexico City,  Mexico;  Hickory and High Point,  North Carolina;
Chicago, Illinois; Tupelo,  Mississippi;  City of Industry,  California; and Sao
Paulo, Brazil. All of the Company's sales offices, except the one in Fall River,
Massachusetts, are leased.

        On March 3, 2006, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement
with respect to the Company's 244,000 square foot manufacturing facility located
at 763 Quequechan  Street in Fall River,  Massachusetts  calling for the sale of
this facility to a Massachusetts limited liability company for $1.4 million, and
on March 14,  2006,  Quaker  entered  into a purchase  and sale  agreement  with
respect to the Company's  53,000 square foot  manufacturing  facility located at
3129  County  Street in  Somerset,  Massachusetts  calling  for the sale of this
facility to a resident of Cumberland,  Rhode Island for $1.75 million. These two
transactions closed during the third quarter of 2006.

On February 20,  2007,  the Company  entered into a purchase and sale  agreement
with  respect  to the  Company's  245,000  square  foot  corporate  headquarters
building located at 1082 Davol Street in Fall River calling for the sale of this
facility for $4.7 million and a leaseback of  approximately  127,000 square feet
for office  purposes.  This sale is pending,  and the transaction is expected to
close in April 2007.

        The Company also owns  approximately  sixty acres of undeveloped land in
Fall River,  Massachusetts which was purchased in 1998 to allow for expansion of
its operations.  The Company's  December 2004 decision to enter into a long-term
lease on an additional  540,000  square feet of  manufacturing  and  warehousing
space in Fall River led the Company to  reevaluate  its  interest in  developing
this  land as a  manufacturing  location.  The net book  value  of this  land is
approximately $3.5 million, and the Company is actively marketing it for sale or
development.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

        The Company's  operations are subject to numerous  federal,  state,  and
local laws and  regulations  pertaining to the  discharge of materials  into the
environment  or otherwise  relating to the  protection of the  environment.  The
Company's  facilities are located in industrial areas and,  therefore,  there is
the possibility of incurring  environmental  liabilities as a result of historic
operations  at the  Company's  sites.  Environmental  liability  can  extend  to
previously owned or leased  properties,  properties owned by third parties,  and
properties currently owned or leased by the Company.  Environmental  liabilities
can also be asserted by adjacent landowners or other third parties in toxic tort
litigation.  In  addition,  under  the  Comprehensive   Environmental  Response,
Compensation,  and Liability Act of 1980, as amended  ("CERCLA"),  and analogous
state  statutes,  liability  can be imposed  for the  disposal of waste at sites
targeted  for cleanup by federal  and state  regulatory  authorities.  Liability
under  CERCLA is strict as well as joint  and  several.  Environmental  laws and
regulations are subject to change in the future,  and any failure by the Company
to comply with present or future laws or regulations  could subject it to future
liabilities or  interruption of production  which could have a material  adverse
effect on the Company. In addition,  changes in environmental  regulations could
restrict the Company's  ability to expand its  facilities or require the Company
to incur substantial unexpected other expenses to comply with such regulations.

        In   particular,   the   Company  is  aware  of  soil  and   groundwater
contamination  relating to the use of certain underground fuel oil storage tanks
at its Fall River  facilities.  During 2001, the Company filed  Response  Action
Outcome Statements ("RAOs") and Activities and Use Limitations ("AULs") with the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts with respect to soil and groundwater contamination
at two of its  facilities.  The AULs are  intended to limit human  access to the
tainted  soil and  groundwater,  close out the sites and end  future  regulatory
reporting.  During the fourth  quarter of 2003,  the Company  terminated the AUL
with respect to one of these  facilities at the  direction of the  Massachusetts
Department of Environmental  Protection in order to complete additional response
actions  necessary to support the conclusion  that a condition of No Significant
Risk has been  achieved at the site. In addition,  during the fourth  quarter of
1993 the Company removed and encapsulated  asbestos at two of its facilities and
the  Company  has  an  on-going   asbestos   management   program  in  place  to
appropriately maintain the asbestos that remains present at its facilities.

        Quaker has also determined that several  localized areas of a sixty-acre
parcel  of land in Fall  River  owned  by the  Company  contain  surficial  soil
contamination  from  polyaromatic  hydrocarbons  ("PAHs") and lead, and are thus
subject  to  the  Massachusetts  Superfund  law.  Over  eighty  percent  of  the
contaminated soil exists under  high-tension  power lines. The site is currently
undeveloped  and was  purchased  by the Company  during  1998-1999  to provide a
location for the possible future  development of a  manufacturing  and warehouse
facility.  The Company  engaged the  services  of a Licensed  Site  Professional
("LSP") and filed the  appropriate  notices and reports  with the  Massachusetts
Department  of  Environmental  Protection.  Following the  determination  of the
vertical  and  lateral  extent of the  contamination  and the nature of the soil
contamination  by the LSP,  it was  established  that the site could be properly
remediated by covering the contaminated soil under the high-tension  power wires
with a one-foot depth of clean soil.  This was completed  during the second half
of 2000.  Subsequent  soil sampling and laboratory  analyses have confirmed that
the areas of contamination under the high-tension power wires have been properly
remediated.  Additional regulatory  compliance and environmental  assessment and
remediation  work at the  site is  anticipated,  the  final  cost  of  which  is
currently uncertain.

        The Company acquired two additional  manufacturing facilities during the
second  half  of  2001.   Prior  to  the   Company's   purchase,   comprehensive
environmental site assessments,  including soil and groundwater  analyses,  were
completed at both sites by an LSP. As a result of these assessments,  an AUL has
been filed with the  Commonwealth  of  Massachusetts  with respect to one of the
sites.  Further,  although urban fill containing waste material,  including coal
and ash, was discovered at the other site,  the Company has determined  that the
"urban fill" exemption from the assessment and  remediation  requirements of the
Massachusetts  environmental  regulations  requires  no  further  action  by the
Company with respect to this property.

        During 2003, the Company entered into agreements with the  Massachusetts
Department of  Environmental  Protection  (the "MADEP") to install air pollution
control equipment on three of the stacks at one of its manufacturing  facilities
located  in Fall  River.  The  control  equipment  is  intended  to ensure  that
emissions  from the stacks do not  exceed the 0% opacity  limit set forth in the
Company's  operating permit for air emissions.  Management  anticipates that the
costs associated with the acquisition and installation of the control  equipment
will total  approximately  $900,000.  The  equipment  itself was scheduled to be
fully  installed over a three year period  beginning in 2003. By March 2006, the
required  pollution  control  equipment  had been  installed on two of the three
stacks.  The Company has reached an agreement with the MADEP  extending the date
by which the equipment  required on the third stack must be installed to October
2007.

        The  Company   accrues  for  estimated   costs   associated  with  known
environmental  matters  when  such  costs  are  probable  and can be  reasonably
estimated.  The actual costs to be incurred for  environmental  remediation  may
vary  from  estimates,  given  the  inherent  uncertainties  in  evaluating  and
estimating environmental liabilities,  including the possible effects of changes
in laws and regulations,  the stage of the remediation process and the magnitude
of  contamination  found  as  the  remediation  progresses.   Environmental  due
diligence reviews conducted by the Company's lenders in connection with Quaker's
November 2006 refinancing  transaction  identified certain regulatory compliance
obligations which the Company failed to meet in a timely fashion.  These reviews
also indicated the need for additional  environmental  site  assessment  work at
certain of the Company's  facilities,  raising the possibility  that the Company
will be required to incur additional future remediation  expenses should further
environmental   conditions  requiring  remediation  be  identified  during  this
process.  The Company has accrued  reserves for  environmental  matters based on
information

                                       18



presently  available,  and  management  believes  these reserves to be adequate.
Accordingly, management believes the ultimate disposition of known environmental
matters  will not have a  material  adverse  effect  on the  liquidity,  capital
resources,  business or consolidated financial position of the Company, however,
there can be no assurance that established reserves will prove to be adequate or
that the costs  associated with  environmental  matters will not increase in the
future.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

        The Company is not a party to any legal  proceedings  other than routine
legal  proceedings  incidental  to  its  business,  which,  in  the  opinion  of
management,  are  immaterial  in amount or are  expected  to be  covered  by the
Company's insurance carriers.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

        None.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S  COMMON EQUITY,  RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND
        ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

        The  Company's  common stock is traded over the counter and is quoted on
the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol "QFAB."

        As of March 29, 2007, there were  approximately 89 record holders of the
Company's common stock.

        No  dividends  were paid on the  Company's  common stock prior to fiscal
year 2003.  During the first quarter of 2003,  the Board of Directors  adopted a
new dividend policy. This policy provides for future dividends to be declared at
the  discretion  of the  Board  of  Directors,  based on the  Board's  quarterly
evaluation of the Company's results of operations, cash requirements,  financial
condition and other factors  deemed  relevant by the Board.  The Company's  2006
Loan  Agreements  contain  restrictive  covenants  which  restrict the Company's
ability to pay dividends.  The Company suspended dividend payments following the
third quarter of 2004 in order to comply with a similar restrictive  covenant in
the financing agreements to which the Company was then a party, and no dividends
have been declared or paid since that time. See Note 7 of Notes to  Consolidated
Financial Statements.

        The Company's 1996 Stock Option Plan for certain key employees currently
covers  522,500  shares of common  stock.  Options  granted under the 1996 Stock
Option Plan vest over a five-year  period  beginning  on the date of each grant.
Options  are issued at their  fair  market  value at the date of grant,  and the
average  exercise  price for all  options  granted is $7.98 per share.  Prior to
their  participation  in the  Company's  1997  Stock  Option  Plan in 2001,  the
Company's  non-employee  directors were awarded  options  pursuant to individual
contracts.  These  options were issued at their fair market value at the date of
grant,  and the average exercise price for all such options granted is $8.25 per
share. All options granted to the Company's  non-employee  directors under these
contracts  are fully  vested and  currently  cover a total of 105,000  shares of
common stock.

        On December 16, 2005, the Board of Directors  approved the  acceleration
of vesting of all outstanding  unvested stock options  previously awarded to its
employees   (including  its  executive  officers)  under  the  Company's  equity
compensation plans. The acceleration of vesting became effective on December 16,
2005 for stock options  outstanding  as of such date. On such date,  the closing
market  price was $2.60.  Options to  purchase  an  aggregate  of  approximately
565,000  shares of common  stock (of which  options to purchase an  aggregate of
393,000  shares of common stock are held by  executive  officers of the Company)
were  accelerated on December 16, 2005. The exercise prices of the options range
from $7.04 to $9.12.  Under the recently issued Financial  Accounting  Standards
Board Statement No. 123R,  "Share-Based  Payment" ("SFAS 123R"), the Company was
required to apply the expense  recognition  provisions under SFAS 123R beginning
January 2, 2006.  The decision to accelerate the vesting of these stock options,
all of which are at exercise  prices higher than current market price,  was made
because  (i)  there is no  perceived  value in these  options  to the  employees
involved, and (ii) there are no employee retention ramifications.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

        The  following  analysis  of the  financial  condition  and  results  of
operations  of the  Company  should be read in  conjunction  with the  Company's
Consolidated  Financial  Statements and the Notes thereto included  elsewhere in
this report.

        The report issued by Quaker's  independent  registered public accounting
firm on the Company's Fiscal 2005 financial  statements  included an explanatory
paragraph raising substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue
as a going concern.  (See Item 8. Financial  Statements and Supplementary Data.)
The report issued by Quaker's  independent  registered public accounting firm on
the Company's  Fiscal 2006 financial  statements does not include any expression
of  substantial  doubt  about the  ability of the Company to continue as a going
concern.  (See  Item  7.  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial
Condition  and Results of  Operations - Recent  Developments  and  Liquidity and
Capital Resources.)

GENERAL

        OVERVIEW.  Quaker is a leading supplier of woven upholstery  fabrics. To
complement the Company's U.S. production  capability and to generate incremental
sales,  during the second half of 2005,  Quaker began  building a global  fabric
sourcing  capability.  This global fabric sourcing capability primarily involves
the development of commercial  relationships  with a limited number of carefully
chosen  offshore  fabric mills and is intended to allow the Company to recapture
the share of the  domestic  residential  market it has lost to  foreign  imports
since  Quaker's  sales peaked at $365.4  million  during  Fiscal 2002.  The most
important of these commercial  relationships  is with a large,  fully integrated
fabric mill in Hangzhou,  China. Quaker also manufactures  specialty yarns, most
of which  are used in the  production  of the  Company's  fabric  products.  The
balance is sold to  manufacturers  of craft yarns,  home  furnishings  and other
products.

        Overall demand levels in the upholstery  fabric sector are a function of
overall demand for household  furniture,  which is, in turn, affected by general
economic conditions, population demographics, new household formations, consumer
confidence  and disposable  income  levels,  sales of new and existing homes and
interest rates.

        Competition in the industry is intense,  from both domestic fabric mills
and fabric mills located outside the U.S.  manufacturing  products for sale into
the U.S. market. In addition,  there has been a recent and significant  increase
in imports of both furniture coverings and fully upholstered  furniture into the
U.S.  market,  with industry data indicating  that sales of imported  fabrics in
both roll and "kit," i.e., cut and sewn, form represented  approximately  42% of
total  U.S.  fabric  sales  during  2004,  up from  29% in 2003 and 11% in 2002.
Management  believes that this trend has  continued and estimates  that imported
fabrics currently represent approximately 60% of total U.S. fabric sales.

        The Company's  fabric products  compete with other furniture  coverings,
including leather,  suede,  microdenier "faux suede," prints,  tufts, flocks and
velvets,  for consumer  acceptance.  Consumer  tastes in  upholstered  furniture
coverings are somewhat cyclical and do change over time, sometimes rapidly, with
various  coverings  gaining  or  losing  share  depending  on  changes  in  home
furnishing  trends and the amount of retail  floor  space  allocated  to various
upholstered furniture product categories at any given time. For example, leather
furniture and furniture covered with microdenier faux suede products,  primarily
imported  in roll and  "kit"  (i.e.,  cut and sewn)  form  from low  labor  cost
countries,  particularly  China,  have enjoyed  strong  demand over the past few
years,  primarily at the expense of woven  fabrics,  such as the  Jacquards  and
other woven fabrics Quaker manufactures.  In some retail furniture stores, these
products may occupy as much as 50% of the floor space  allocated to  upholstered
furniture products.

        Fiscal 2004 started out reasonably strong,  but the Company's  financial
performance deteriorated as the year progressed,  particularly during the second
half.  Because  of  the  capital  intensive  nature  of  the  upholstery  fabric
manufacturing  process,  the Company's fixed costs are relatively  high--causing
any shortfall at the top line to quickly erode Quaker's  margins and bottom line
profitability.

        Net sales of $289.1  million for 2004 were down 11.1% versus  2003--with
net sales into the domestic  residential  market of $232.8 million for the year,
down 15.3%--and  international  fabric sales of $35.9 million for the year, down
10.2%. Yarn sales, however, showed consistent strength throughout the year, with
total  2004  sales  into  that  market  of $20.4  million,  up 92% over 2003 and
reflecting a strategic repositioning of that aspect of Quaker's business.

        From a profitability  standpoint,  the Company's  performance during the
first  quarter  of 2004 was  solid,  with net  income of $2.4  million--but  the
Company  recorded a small loss in the second  quarter,  a ($2.1) million loss in
the third quarter and a ($1.9) million loss in the fourth  quarter--leading to a
loss of ($2.0) million for the year as a whole,  with favorable  settlement of a
Company claim for certain  federal  research and  development tax credits adding
approximately $2.0 million, or $0.12 per share, to the Company's results for the
fourth quarter and for the year.

        The  $41.9  million  drop  in  Quaker's  net  sales  into  the  domestic
residential  furniture  market  in 2004  compared  to 2003 was the  single  most
important factor affecting the Company's financial performance during 2004. This
decline reflected a continuation of intense  competition in the domestic market,
including  competition and pricing  pressure from leather,  faux suede and other
furniture  coverings coming into the U.S. from Asia, with the popularity of faux
suede at the  promotional  end of the  market  and  leather  at the  middle  and
upper-end  reducing  the size of the  market  for the woven  Jacquard  and plain
fabrics Quaker makes.

                                       24



        Fiscal 2004's lower revenues resulted in a significant  deterioration in
Quaker's margin performance,  pushed SG&A expense as a percentage of sales up to
19.1%--and  generally  hurt the  Company's  financial  performance  resulting in
losses at the  bottom  line in every  quarter  except the  first.  The  problems
created  by  2004's  revenue  shortfall  were  exacerbated  by a number of other
factors,  including higher energy and raw material prices and the more than $0.7
million  of   professional   fees  Quaker   incurred  in  connection   with  its
Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance efforts.

        The deterioration in the Company's  financial results during 2004 led to
violations  of several of the  financial  covenants in Quaker's  principal  loan
documents.  The Company sought and received waivers from its two major financing
sources to deal with these covenant  violations,  and in May of 2005, Quaker put
in place a new senior secured credit facility with three banks.

        The Company  took  aggressive  action  during the second half of 2004 to
reduce its operating costs. These actions included staffing  reductions intended
to reduce  overhead  and bring  production  rates in line with  demand,  and the
temporary  idling  of  certain  yarn  manufacturing  equipment  as  well  as the
execution  of  a  long-term   lease  on  540,000   square  feet  of  replacement
manufacturing and warehousing space in Fall River.

        New  fabric  orders  during  the  fourth   quarter  of  2004  were  down
approximately  17% versus the  comparable  period of 2003, and 2004 ended with a
total production  backlog valued at approximately  $14.6 million,  down 45.1% in
comparison to $26.5 million at the end of 2003.

        In late 2004, Quaker arranged to have an in-depth market study performed
to serve as the basis of a refinement of the Company's strategy going forward so
that the core  competencies  the Company has in the design,  technology,  supply
chain and new  product  development  areas  could be used to best  advantage  to
further the Company's revenue and profitability objectives. As the Company moved
into 2005,  Quaker was planning to: (i) move aggressively to build sales in both
the domestic and  international  residential  fabric markets;  (ii) continue its
efforts to grow sales into the contract and specialty  yarn markets;  (iii) work
on a new  line  of  products  for  the  outdoor  furniture  market  to  generate
additional  sales; and (iv) begin bringing fabrics into the U.S. market that the
Company did not have the equipment to make, as a complement to Quaker's existing
product offerings.

        During 2005,  the  continued  strength of leather,  faux suede and woven
fabric products  imported into the U.S. market and the  deflationary  effects of
heavy competition from both domestic and foreign fabric suppliers led to a 22.3%
fall-off in Quaker's  total  revenues--with  domestic and  international  fabric
sales for the year of $173.6  million and $29.3  million,  down 25.4% and 18.4%,
respectively.  Net yarn sales, at $21.8 million,  increased by $1.4 million,  or
6.7%,  over 2004 and for the first eight  months of the year were  running  well
ahead of 2004,  but orders from the craft yarn market  slowed  significantly  in
September  and remained  weak through the balance of the year. At total 2005 net
sales of $224.7 million, the Company's  significantly lower revenues resulted in
a net loss for the year of ($26.3  million),  with  diluted and basic losses per
share of  ($1.56);  compared  to a net loss of ($2.0  million),  and diluted and
basic losses per share of ($0.12) on total net sales for 2004 of $289.1 million.
New orders  during 2005 were down 21.6%,  and Quaker closed out the year with an
order backlog valued at approximately  $11.3 million,  compared to $14.6 million
at year-end 2004.

        Quaker's 2005 financial  results  reflected a number of one-time charges
related to the Company's ongoing restructuring  efforts including  approximately
$14.8  million  of  after-tax  asset  impairment  and  restructuring   expenses.
Excluding these asset and restructuring  charges,  as well as a $1.2 million tax
credit  related to the  favorable  settlement of a state income tax refund claim
recorded  in the  second  quarter,  net loss for 2005 was  ($12.6  million),  or
($0.75) per diluted and basic share.

        The Company's primary goal during 2005 was to fundamentally  reshape the
Company to restore it to profitability and ensure its long-term  success.  To do
that, management put a restructuring plan in place that was intended to:

        o   Stabilize revenues from the Company's U.S.-based  residential fabric
            business by  concentrating  its  marketing  efforts on those markets
            least sensitive to imported products;

        o   Reduce the Company's  operating  costs enough to compensate  for the
            revenue drop experienced  since 2002, when Quaker's net sales peaked
            at $365.4 million;

        o   Develop commercial  relationships with a limited number of carefully
            chosen  offshore fabric mills to recapture the share of the domestic
            residential  market  lost to foreign  imports and respond to ongoing
            market changes more quickly; and

        o   Generate additional  profitable sales by penetrating the outdoor and
            contract  fabric  markets and  expanding  Quaker's  specialty  yarns
            business.

        To reduce costs,  during 2005,  management  took more than $40.0 million
out of the Company's cost structure on an annualized basis--through  significant
staffing  reductions  and  reductions  of  approximately  $3.0 million and $14.3
million in Quaker's annualized SG&A and fixed manufacturing costs, respectively.
These cuts brought aggregate planned  reductions in the Company's cost structure
since the second quarter of 2004 to approximately $52.0 million on an annualized
basis. In addition,  operations at three of Quaker's Fall River-based facilities
were moved into one of the Company's  other Fall River  plants,  and just before
the end of the year,  remaining operations at a fourth facility were transferred
into that same plant. A new senior  secured credit  facility was put in place in
May 2005,  and cash flows during the year resulted in a reduction in funded debt
of approximately $2.1 million. And finally,

                                       25



considerable  new  market  and new  product  development  work was  done  during
2005--including  work on a new line of  products  for the  outdoor  market  that
Quaker rolled out in January of 2006--and work to identify opportunities for the
Company to develop  strategically  important  relationships with fabric mills in
China,  Korea and other areas,  anchored by a commercial  cooperation  agreement
with a leading  Chinese  fabric  mill that the Company  signed  during the first
quarter of 2006.

        But 2005  also saw some  very  significant  increases  in the  Company's
energy and raw  material  costs.  In January  2005,  an  important  raw material
supplier announced its decision to exit the acrylic business.  The Company built
a  safety  stock  of  acrylic  inventory  at  Quaker  sufficient  to  cover  its
manufacturing  requirements  until raw materials from new suppliers  could enter
the Company's  supply chain,  but the loss of this domestic  supplier  increased
Quaker's raw material costs,  put additional  pressure on the Company's  margins
and also involved some significant  opportunity  costs. In March of 2005, Quaker
put through a price increase to deal with those  problems,  and in October,  the
Company  implemented  a surcharge to  compensate  for increases in the prices of
some of the  petroleum-based  raw materials  used by Quaker and in the Company's
overall energy costs.  But, Quaker's revenues were falling faster than its costs
and the Company reported both operating and net losses in each quarter of 2005.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

        The  market for  upholstery  fabric in the United  States  continued  to
experience  unprecedented change during 2006. Imported fabrics, in both roll and
kit form, now represent more than half of the market and could be as high as 75%
- - and a number of domestic  furniture  manufacturers  and retailers are bringing
fully-upholstered  furniture into the U.S. market from China. For Quaker,  these
dramatic changes led to a 29% drop in 2006 domestic fabric sales and an 18% drop
in 2006 export fabric sales.  Net yarn sales for the year were down 79.2%.  This
large sales  decline  outpaced the speed at which the Company was able to reduce
costs. At the end of the day, net sales for the year were $151.7 million, with a
net loss of ($37.6 million),  and diluted and basic losses per share of ($2.23);
compared  to net sales of $224.7  million,  a net loss of ($26.3  million),  and
diluted and basic losses per share of ($1.56) for fiscal 2005.

        One-time  charges related to the Company's  ongoing  restructuring  plan
also  had  a  significant  effect  on  Quaker's  2006  results  -  with  pre-tax
restructuring and asset impairment charges accounting for $26.5 million, or more
than half, of the $48.5 million  operating  loss the Company  reported for 2006.
These  charges were  primarily  non-cash and included the  write-down of assets,
including  manufacturing plants and machinery and equipment,  that have been put
up for sale as part of the Company's  consolidation  strategy.  Excluding  these
charges,  Quaker's 2006 net loss would have been ($17.4 million), or ($1.03) per
share.

        Despite last year's  results,  management  believes that the steps taken
during  2006 to  reshape  and  restructure  the  Company  represent  significant
progress  toward  returning  Quaker  to  profitability  - and  throughout  2006,
management  continued to implement the restructuring  plan first put in place in
2005. The key elements of this plan include:

    o   Aligning operating costs with revenue expectations;

    o   Stabilizing   revenues  from  Quaker's  U.S.-based   residential  fabric
        business  by  concentrating  the  Company's  marketing  efforts on those
        market  segments  least  sensitive  to  imported  products - such as the
        jobber,  upper-end  and  specialty  retailer  categories  - where prompt
        delivery is critical;

    o   Generating additional sales by penetrating the outdoor fabric market and
        building on its existing position in the contract fabric market;

    o   Striking the right  balance  between  domestic  production  and offshore
        sourcing by developing commercial relationships with a limited number of
        carefully  chosen  non-U.S.  fabric  mills  - with  these  complementary
        offshore  sourcing  programs  intended to allow  Quaker to  recapture at
        least a portion of the domestic  residential  business  lost to imported
        products; and

    o   Consolidating manufacturing operations into fewer facilities and selling
        off excess real estate and machinery and equipment.

        Using this plan as a guide,  during 2006,  Quaker sold two manufacturing
plants and about $4.0 million of machinery and  equipment.  The Company also cut
SG&A  costs  by  approximately  $10.0  million  -  and  manufacturing  costs  by
approximately $20.0 million - both on an annualized basis. Inventory was reduced
by about $9.7  million and senior debt by a little  over $4.0  million.  And new
financing  agreements  were put in  place  in  November  2006  which  management
believes  to be  consistent  with  Quaker's  strategic  objectives  and  current
operating and working  capital  needs.  In addition,  the Company's  independent
registered public accounting firm's unqualified  opinion on the Company's Fiscal
2006 financial  statements does not contain a reference  expressing  substantial
doubt about the Company's  ability to continue as a going concern.  (See Item 7.
Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of  Financial  Condition  and Results of
Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources.)

        To counter the decline in the Company's sales,  Quaker has refocused its
marketing efforts on segments less vulnerable to Chinese imports - including the
development and introduction of new products for the outdoor,  jobber, contract,
upper-end  residential and specialty retailer markets. This effort will remain a
major focus for the Company going forward.  To further Quaker's dual strategy of
striking the right balance between domestic production and global sourcing,  the
Company  also  developed  and  implemented  a China  program  last  year that is
intended to give Quaker a competitive  advantage in the global  sourcing arena -
and  management  believes  that the  alliance  the Company put in place with its
China-based partner in January 2006 is developing well.

                                       26



        That said, the Company's primary focus during 2007 will be on rebuilding
the top line and keeping  costs in line with sales.  Quaker  continues  to bring
significant  competitive  strengths  to the  industry - design  talent,  product
development  expertise,  the close working  relationships  the Company has built
over many years with its customers, sourcing capabilities,  technological savvy,
and  the  ability  to find  and  make  the  most  of new  market  opportunities.
Management  intends to use those competitive  strengths to aggressively  develop
fabrics  for  production  by  Quaker's  strategic  partner  in China - and other
products that for both  strategic and economic  reasons are best produced in the
Company's  Fall  River-based  manufacturing  facilities.  This  latter  category
includes Quaker's relatively new outdoor fabric and contract furniture programs,
which are intended to build revenues by leveraging  the Company's  technological
expertise to expand into new markets - as well as fabrics for those domestic and
international  residential  customers in need of a strong U.S.-based fabric mill
to meet their requirements for high quality, innovative products with relatively
short delivery lead times.

        Selling off excess  facilities  and equipment  will also be an important
2007 priority.  During the first quarter of 2007,  Quaker entered into two asset
sale  agreements.  The first involves a pending sale of the Company's  corporate
headquarters  building  in Fall River for $4.7  million - and,  consistent  with
Quaker's overall consolidation program, a leaseback of part of the building. The
second  agreement  involves the ongoing sale of additional  excess machinery and
equipment.  This transaction  included an initial payment to the Company of $1.3
million.  The net  proceeds  from all asset  sales  will be used to  reduce  the
outstanding balance of our term loan.

        Paying  attention  to basic  blocking  and  tacking  will also be a 2007
corporate  imperative,  including  making sure that the  Company's  productivity
levels and quality performance are consistent with our 2007 objectives.

        Management  believes that 2007 will be a very important  transition year
for Quaker. Domestic market conditions are likely to remain both challenging and
highly  dynamic,   with  problems  at  the  Company's  suppliers  and  customers
symptomatic of the broader challenges arising out of the changes taking place in
the furniture industry as a whole. These  challenges--including rapid changes in
the  competitive  landscape,  further  significant  increases in fabric imports,
particularly   from  China,   the   emergence  of  new  industry   participants,
consolidation in the furniture  retailing and manufacturing  sectors and changes
in the kind of  furniture  consumers  want to  purchase  and in how they want to
purchase  it--will  make  building the kind of sales volume the Company  needs a
difficult task. These challenges also place additional  importance on the wisdom
of Quaker's  restructuring  plan, as outlined above, and on the effectiveness of
its execution.

        To complete the restructuring of our business,  Quaker will need to make
significant investment in the development, production, marketing and sale of new
products and the development of new commercial relationships,  in particular the
new  commercial  relationships  the  Company is  putting in place with  offshore
fabric  sources.  This  investment is critical in order to maintain and grow our
business.  However,  we cannot guarantee that the capital needed to achieve this
will be available or that we will be successful in our strategic initiatives. If
we are not successful,  management is prepared to take various actions which may
include, but not be limited to, a reduction in our expenditures for internal and
external  new  product  and  new  market  development  initiatives  and  further
reduction in overhead expenses. These actions, should they become necessary, may
result in a significant reduction in the size of our operations.

        The data  reflected  in this  table  has  been  derived  from  unaudited
financial statements that, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments
(consisting  only of  normal  recurring  adjustments)  necessary  for  the  fair
presentation  of such  information  when read in conjunction  with the Company's
Consolidated  Financial  Statements and the Notes thereto contained elsewhere in
this Form 10-K. Fiscal Years 2006 and 2005 each contained 52 weeks.

        The  Company  follows   industry   practice  by  closing  its  operating
facilities  for a one-to-two  week period during July of each year. In both 2006
and 2005, this shutdown period,  and the resulting effect on sales,  occurred in
the third fiscal quarter.

        PRODUCT  MIX.  By offering a broad  assortment  of fabrics at each price
point and in each styling category,  the Company has positioned itself as a full
service  supplier  of  Jacquard  and  plain  woven  fabrics  to the  upholstered
furniture  market.  Quaker's  product line is divided into two distinct  branded
collections,  with its  Quaker(TM)  line  intended to meet the styling,  design,
quality and  pricing  needs of the  promotional  and middle to better end of the
market and its  Whitaker(R)  collection  designed  to target the better to upper
end.  In 2005,  Quaker  began  taking  steps to  supplement  the woven  Jacquard
products that have  historically  represented the core of the Company's  product
line with  microdenier  faux suede and woven products  produced outside the U.S.
and purchased by Quaker for sale into the worldwide market, and in January 2006,
Quaker  entered into an agreement  with a Chinese  fabric mill pursuant to which
certain  fabrics  sold by the Company are designed at Quaker's  headquarters  in
Massachusetts  but  manufactured  in China.  Quaker  has one  other  outsourcing
arrangement in place, with a fabric  manufacturer  based in South Korea, and the
Company  anticipates  entering  into a  limited  number  of  additional  similar
arrangements in the future. All outsourced  products are marketed under Quaker's
Global Line(TM) brand.

        GEOGRAPHIC   DISTRIBUTION  OF  FABRIC  SALES.  To  develop  markets  for
upholstery fabric outside the United States,  the Company has placed substantial
emphasis on building  both direct  exports from the United  States as well as on
sales from its  distribution  centers in Mexico and Brazil.  The following table
sets forth  certain  information  about the changes  which have  occurred in the
geographic distribution of the Company's net fabric sales since 2004:

    as sales from the Company's distribution centers in Mexico and Brazil.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        The following is a brief discussion of the more  significant  accounting
estimates used by the Company.

GENERAL

        The  preparation  of financial  statements in conformity  with generally
accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and
assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the dates of the financial
statements  and the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the
reporting  periods.  The most  significant  estimates and assumptions  relate to
accounts  receivable  reserves,  inventory  valuation  and  inventory  reserves,
self-insurance reserves,  property, plant and equipment and income taxes. Actual
amounts could differ significantly from these estimates.

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND SALES RETURNS AND ALLOWANCES

        The Company  performs  ongoing  credit  evaluations of its customers and
adjusts  credit  limits based upon payment  history and the  customer's  current
creditworthiness,  as determined by management's  review of their current credit
information. The Company continuously monitors collections and payments from its
customers  and  maintains a provision  for  estimated  credit  losses based upon
historical  experience and any specific customer  collection issues  identified.
The  Company  cannot  guarantee  that  credit  loss rates in the future  will be
consistent with those experienced in the past. The Company's accounts receivable
are spread among more than 1,000  customers and no single  customer  represented
more than 5.8% of the  accounts  receivable  balance at  December  30,  2006 and
December 31, 2005.

        Management  analyzes  historical  sales  and  quality  returns,  current
economic  trends,  and the Company's  quality  performance  when  evaluating the
adequacy of the reserve for sales returns and allowances. Significant management
judgments and estimates  must be made and used in connection  with  establishing
the reserve for sales returns and allowances in any accounting period.  Material

                                       28



differences  may result in the amount and timing of the  Company's net sales for
any period if management makes different judgments or uses different estimates.

INVENTORIES

        Inventory  is valued at the lower of cost or market  using the  last-in,
first-out (LIFO) method.  Approximately  60% of finished goods are produced upon
receipt of a firm order.  Management,  in  partnership  with key  customers,  is
utilizing  forecasting  techniques to significantly  reduce delivery lead times.
Management  regularly  reviews  inventory  quantities  on  hand  and  records  a
provision  for excess and  obsolete  inventory  based  primarily  on  historical
information  and  estimated   forecasts  of  product  demand  and  raw  material
requirements  for the next twelve months.  A significant  increase in demand for
the Company's  products could result in a short-term  increase in  manufacturing
costs, including but not limited to overtime and other costs related to capacity
constraints  in certain areas of the Company.  A significant  decrease in demand
could  result in an increase  in the amount of excess  inventory  quantities  on
hand. During 2006, in response to reduced demand,  the Company reduced inventory
levels in an orderly manner, avoiding any negative impact on Quaker's excess and
obsolete  reserve  requirements.  Additionally,  assumptions used in determining
management's  estimates of future product  demand may prove to be incorrect,  in
which case the provision  required for excess and obsolete  inventory would have
to be adjusted in the future.  If inventory is determined to be overvalued,  the
Company  would be required to recognize  such costs as cost of goods sold at the
time of such determination.  Therefore,  although every effort is made to ensure
the accuracy of management's forecasts of future product demand, any significant
unanticipated  changes in demand could have a significant impact on the value of
the Company's inventory and the Company's reported operating results.

SELF-INSURANCE RESERVES

        The  Company is  self-insured  for  workers'  compensation  and  medical
insurance.  Quaker has  purchased  stop loss coverage for both types of risks in
order to minimize the effect of a  catastrophic  level of claims.  At the end of
each  accounting  period,  the reserves for incurred but not reported claims are
evaluated.  Management  evaluates  claims  experience  on  a  regular  basis  in
consultation  with the Company's  insurance  advisors and makes  adjustments  to
these reserves.  Significant management judgments and estimates must be made and
used in connection  with  evaluating  the adequacy of  self-insurance  reserves.
Material  differences may result in the amount and timing of these costs for any
period if management makes different judgments or uses different estimates.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

        Property,  plant and equipment is depreciated  over the estimated useful
lives.  Useful lives are based on management's  estimates of the period that the
assets  will  generate  revenue.  See  Note  3  to  the  Consolidated  Financial
Statements.  These assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes
in  circumstances  indicate  that the  carrying  value  of an  asset  may not be
recoverable.  Reductions in the useful lives of the Company's fixed assets would
have an adverse impact on the Company's financial results.

INCOME TAXES

        The Company  accounts for income  taxes under SFAS No. 109,  "Accounting
for Income Taxes." This statement  requires that the Company recognize a current
tax liability or asset for current  taxes  payable or refundable  and a deferred
tax  liability  or asset for the  estimated  future  tax  effects  of  temporary
differences  and carry  forward to the extent they are  realizable.  A valuation
allowance is recorded to reduce the Company's  deferred tax assets to the amount
that is more likely than not to be  realized.  The Company  does not provide for
United  States  income taxes on earnings of  subsidiaries  outside of the United
States.  The  Company's  intention is to reinvest  these  earnings  permanently.
Management  believes  that United  States net  operating  losses  would  largely
eliminate any United States taxes on these earnings.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

        In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, "Inventory Costs," which
amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, Inventory Pricing.  This amendment
clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight,
handling costs and wasted material (spoilage).  SFAS No. 151 requires that those
items be recognized as  current-period  charges  regardless of whether they meet
the criteria  specified in ARB 43 of "so  abnormal."  In addition,  SFAS No. 151
requires  that  allocation  of  fixed  production  overheads  to  the  costs  of
conversion be based on normal  capacity of the production  facilities.  SFAS No.
151 is effective for financial  statements for fiscal years beginning after June
15,  2005.  The  adoption of SFAS No. 151 did not have a material  effect on the
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

         In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB  Interpretation  No. 48, "Accounting
for  Uncertainty in Income Taxes," (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting and
reporting  for  income  taxes  recognized  in  accordance  with  SFAS  No.  109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes." FIN 48 prescribes a  comprehensive  model for the
financial  statement  recognition,  measurement,  presentation and disclosure of
uncertain tax positions  taken,  or expected to be taken, in income tax returns.
The  adoption  of FIN 48 is not  expected  to  have  a  material  effect  on the
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

                                       29



        In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, "Fair Value  Measurements,"
which  provides  enhanced  guidance  for using fair value to measure  assets and
liabilities.  SFAS 157 establishes a common definition of fair value, provides a
framework  for  measuring  fair  value  under  accounting  principles  generally
accepted in the United  States and expands  disclosure  requirements  about fair
value  measurements.  SFAS 157 is  effective  for us as of January 1, 2008.  The
Company is  currently  evaluating  the impact,  if any, the adoption of SFAS 157
will have on its financial position and results of operations.

        In September 2006, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting  Bulletin (SAB)
No. 108,  "Considering the Effects of Prior Year  Misstatements when Quantifying
Misstatements  in Current Year Financial  Statements." SAB No. 108 was issued in
order to eliminate the diversity of practice  surrounding  how public  companies
quantify  financial  statement  misstatements.  This  SAB  establishes  a  "dual
approach"  methodology  that  requires  quantification  of  financial  statement
misstatements based on the effects of the misstatements on each of the company's
financial  statements  (both  the  statement  of  operations  and  statement  of
financial  position).  The SEC has stated  that SAB No. 108 should be applied no
later than the annual  financial  statements  for the first  fiscal  year ending
after  November  15,  2006,  with earlier  application  encouraged.  SAB No. 108
permits a company to elect either retrospective or prospective application.
Prospective application requires recording a cumulative effect adjustment in the
period of adoption,  as well as detailed  disclosure of the nature and amount of
each individual error being corrected through the cumulative  adjustment and how
and when it arose. The application of SAB No. 108 had no effect on the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FISCAL 2006 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2005

        NET SALES.  Net sales for 2006  decreased  $73.0 million,  or 32.5%,  to
$151.7  million from $224.7  million in 2005. Net fabric sales within the United
States  decreased  29.1%, to $123.1 million in 2006 from $173.6 million in 2005,
as a result of continued  competition  from leather,  microdenier faux suede and
other  furniture  coverings being imported into the U.S. in roll and "kit" form,
primarily from low labor cost countries in Asia, particularly China. Net foreign
sales of fabric  decreased 18.1%, to $24.0 million in 2006 from $29.3 million in
2005. This decrease in foreign sales was due primarily to lower sales in Canada.
Canadian furniture  manufacturers sell furniture into both the United States and
Canadian  markets where strong  competition from imported faux suede fabrics and
leather  continued  during 2006 and contributed to a more difficult  competitive
environment.  Sales to the Middle East were also down due to unrest in the area.
Net yarn sales  decreased  to $4.5  million in 2006 from $21.8  million in 2005,
with the decrease in 2006 principally due to excess craft yarn inventory held by
a single customer.  Sales to this customer accounted for 0.0% of 2006 yarn sales
and 77.6% of 2005 yarn sales.

        The gross volume of fabric sold decreased  31.9%,  to 23.6 million yards
in 2006 from 34.6 million yards 2005. The weighted average gross sales price per
yard increased  5.6%, to $6.21 in 2006 from $5.88 in 2005 as a result of product
mix changes.  The Company sold 19.9% fewer yards of middle to better-end fabrics
and 50.0%  fewer  yards of  promotional-end  fabrics  in 2006 than in 2005.  The
average gross sales price per yard of middle to better-end  fabrics was $7.09 in
both 2006 and 2005.  The average  gross sales price per yard of  promotional-end
fabrics increased by 1.0%, to $4.08 in 2006 from $4.04 in 2005.

        GROSS MARGIN.  The gross margin percentage for 2006 decreased to 9.8% as
compared to 12.9% for 2005. The 32.5% drop in net sales in 2006 compared to 2005
caused  fixed  manufacturing  costs as a  percentage  of net sales to  increase,
leading to a decline in the gross margin of approximately  270 basis points.  In
addition,  the Company  wrote down certain  inventory  related to its craft yarn
products,  resulting  in a charge  of  approximately  $0.8  million  or 50 basis
points.

        RESTRUCTURING  AND ASSET  IMPAIRMENT  CHARGES.  During 2006, the Company
reported  restructuring  and asset  impairment  charges of $26.5  million.  This
consisted  of $22.5  million  of  asset  impairment  charges,  $1.9  million  of
consulting and refinancing fees, $1.5 million of plant consolidation, lease, and
occupancy costs and $0.6 million of employee termination costs. During 2006, the
Company  reduced  its  production  capacity  by  idling  certain   manufacturing
equipment and closing  several  manufacturing  facilities.  As a result of these
changes and in accordance  with SFAS No. 144,  "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal  of  Long-Lived   Assets,"  the  Company  evaluated  these  assets  for
impairment and recorded asset  impairments of $12.4 million,  $3.6 million,  and
$6.5 million in the second, third, and fourth quarters of 2006, respectively.

        SELLING,  GENERAL  AND  ADMINISTRATIVE  EXPENSES.  Selling,  general and
administrative  expenses  decreased  to $37.1  million  for 2006 as  compared to
$46.1million for 2005,  primarily due to lower sales  commissions as a result of
lower sales and a decrease in payroll costs attributable to staffing reductions,
partially  offset by an  increase  in bad debt  expense.  Selling,  general  and
administrative  expenses as a  percentage  of net sales were 24.4% and 20.5% for
2006 and 2005,  respectively.  Selling, general and administrative expenses were
higher as a percentage of net sales due to lower sales. In addition, the Company
had a higher bad debt  provision in 2006 due to the bankruptcy of Rowe Furniture
Inc., a major customer, and several other losses.

        INTEREST  EXPENSE.  Interest  expense  increased to $3.7 million in 2006
from $3.0 million in 2005, primarily due to debt with higher interest rates.

        EFFECTIVE TAX RATE.  The  Company's  effective tax rate was a benefit of
30.4% in 2006  compared to a benefit of 33.1% in 2005.  The tax benefit  rate in
2006 is limited  because  the Company has  benefited  the maximum  amount of its
losses allowable against its remaining deferred tax liabilities.

                                       30



FISCAL 2005 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2004

        NET SALES.  Net sales for 2005  decreased  $64.5 million,  or 22.3%,  to
$224.7  million from $289.1  million in 2004. Net fabric sales within the United
States  decreased  25.4%, to $173.6 million in 2005 from $232.8 million in 2004,
as a result of increased  competition  from leather,  microdenier faux suede and
other  furniture  coverings being imported into the U.S. in roll and "kit" form,
primarily  from low labor cost  countries in Asia.  Net foreign  sales of fabric
decreased 18.4%, to $29.3 million in 2005 from $35.9 million 2004. This decrease
in foreign sales of fabric was due  primarily to lower sales in Mexico,  Canada,
Europe and the Middle  East.  In Mexico,  the Company  competes  primarily  with
Mexican  weavers which  typically  offer their products at prices lower than the
Company's. The Company has lost some additional market share to these lower cost
local  mills.  Sales  in  Europe  declined  primarily  due to  general  economic
weakness. In Canada, where furniture  manufacturers sell furniture into both the
United States and Canadian markets, competition from imported faux suede fabrics
and leather increased during 2005,  contributing to a more difficult competitive
environment.  The  political  climate in the Middle  East,  as well as increased
competition from Turkish and Chinese fabric  manufacturers,  negatively impacted
the Company's  sales into that region during 2005.  Net yarn sales  increased to
$21.8  million in 2005 from $20.4  million in 2004,  with the  increase  in 2005
principally due to craft yarn sales to a single customer. Sales to this customer
accounted for 77.6% of the  Company's  yarn sales in 2005 and 50.2% in 2004 yarn
sales.

        The gross volume of fabric sold decreased  26.7%,  to 34.6 million yards
in 2005 from 47.2 million yards 2004. The weighted average gross sales price per
yard increased  2.4%, to $5.88 in 2005 from $5.74 in 2004 as a result of product
mix changes.  The Company sold 28.3% fewer yards of middle to better-end fabrics
and 24.2%  fewer  yards of  promotional-end  fabrics  in 2005 than in 2004.  The
average gross sales price per yard of middle to better-end  fabrics increased by
4.3%,  to $7.09 in 2005 from $6.80 in 2004.  The  average  gross sales price per
yard of  promotional-end  fabrics decreased by 0.2%, to $4.04 in 2005 from $4.05
in 2004.

        GROSS MARGIN. The gross margin percentage for 2005 decreased to 12.9% as
compared to 18.3% for 2004. The 22.3% drop in net sales in 2005 compared to 2004
caused  fixed  manufacturing  costs as a  percentage  of net sales to  increase,
leading  to a decline in the gross  margin of  approximately  270 basis  points.
Higher energy costs accounted for another 150 basis points of the decline at the
gross  margin  level.  The balance of the gross  margin  decline was caused by a
general  increase in Quaker's  raw  material  costs driven by rising oil prices,
unusual costs of  approximately  $1.7 million  incurred during the first half of
2005 related to a key supplier's decision to exit the acrylic fiber business and
the liquidation of a second important supplier.  As part of the consolidation of
manufacturing and warehousing  facilities,  the Company incurred $1.2 million of
moving and duplicate  occupancy  costs during 2005.  These costs are included in
cost of goods sold.

        RESTRUCTURING  AND ASSET  IMPAIRMENT  CHARGES.  During 2005, the Company
reported  restructuring  and asset  impairment  charges of $11.2  million.  This
consisted  of $10.9  million of asset  impairment  charges  and $0.3  million of
employee  termination  costs.  During 2005,  the Company  reduced its production
capacity by idling certain  manufacturing  equipment and also decided to close a
manufacturing facility. As a result of these changes and in accordance with SFAS
No. 144,  "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived  Assets," the
Company  evaluated  these assets for  impairment  and asset  impairments of $3.4
million,  $5.3 million, and $1.5 million were reported in the second, third, and
fourth quarters of 2005,  respectively.  In addition,  due to recent weakness in
upholstery fabric orders, the Company evaluated its prepaid marketing  materials
for impairment and determined that a portion of this asset had been impaired and
recorded a charge of $0.7 million. See Footnote 3 to the Consolidated  Financial
Statements.

        GOODWILL  IMPAIRMENT.  The Company  determined  that goodwill  should be
tested for impairment at July 2, 2005 in accordance  with the provisions of SFAS
No. 142,  "Goodwill and Other Intangible  Assets," due to lower than anticipated
orders and a related reduction in the Company's backlog position. As a result of
this  testing,   the  Company   determined  that  goodwill  had  been  impaired.
Accordingly,  a goodwill  impairment charge of $5.4 million, or $0.32 per share,
was recorded in the three month period ended July 2, 2005.

        SELLING,  GENERAL  AND  ADMINISTRATIVE  EXPENSES.  Selling,  general and
administrative expenses decreased to $46.1 million for 2005 as compared to $55.3
million for 2004,  primarily due to lower sales commissions as a result of lower
sales and a decrease  in payroll  costs  attributable  to  staffing  reductions.
Selling,  general and administrative  expenses as a percentage of net sales were
20.5%  and  19.1%  for  2005  and  2004,  respectively.   Selling,  general  and
administrative  expenses  were higher as a percentage  of net sales due to lower
sales.

        INTEREST  EXPENSE.  Interest  expense  decreased to $3.0 million in 2005
from $3.3 million in 2004,  primarily  due to the  repayment of senior debt with
higher interest rates.

        EFFECTIVE TAX RATE.  The  Company's  effective tax rate was a benefit of
33.0% in 2005  compared to a benefit of 65.0% in 2004.  The tax benefit  rate in
2004 was 65% principally due to the $2.0 million favorable settlement of certain
claims for federal research and development  credits.  The effective tax rate in
2005 was  affected  by two  events.  First,  the  Company  reported  a  goodwill
impairment charge of $5.4 million. The goodwill had no tax basis, and therefore,
no tax  benefit  related to this  expense  was  realized.  Second,  the  Company
recorded the settlement of certain state tax  assessments  and claims during the
second quarter of 2005, which resulted in a tax benefit of $1.2 million.

                                       31



        During the second quarter of 2005, the Company  settled tax  assessments
from the Massachusetts  Department of Revenue (MDOR) for the years 1993-1998. In
addition, the Company settled refund claims related to amended tax returns filed
with the MDOR claiming  approximately  $1.4 million of research and  development
tax credits  for the years  1993-2001  and  additional  credits of $0.7  million
claimed on the  originally  filed tax returns for 2002 and 2003.  Settlement  of
these  claims  allowed the Company to record a state tax benefit of $1.8 million
($1.2 million, net of applicable federal taxes).

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        The  Company  historically  has  financed  its  operations  and  capital
requirements  through a combination  of  internally  generated  funds,  debt and
equity  offerings and borrowings under its financing  agreements,  including its
2006 Revolving Credit Agreement,  as hereinafter  defined. The Company's capital
requirements  have arisen  principally  in  connection  with (i) the purchase of
equipment to expand  production  capacity,  add new  technologies to broaden and
differentiate  the Company's  products,  and improve the  Company's  quality and
productivity performance, (ii) increases in the Company's working capital needs,
and (iii)  investments  in the Company's  information  technology  systems.  The
Company's current capital  requirements are related to the execution of Quaker's
restructuring  plan.  (See  Item 7.  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations--General--Recent Developments.)

        A key  2007  objective  is to  stabilize  revenues  from  Quaker's  core
domestic  residential   business  while   simultaneously   working  to  generate
incremental  sales from the new product and new market  initiatives  the Company
has been pursuing. These initiatives include the development of fabrics designed
by Quaker for manufacture  outside the U.S. through strategic  relationships put
in place with various offshore fabric mills.  These offshore  sourcing  programs
are intended to allow Quaker to supplement the woven fabrics in its product line
with other  upholstery  products,  such as  velvets  and faux  suedes,  that the
Company  does not have the  equipment to make itself and to allow the Company to
recapture at least a portion of the domestic residential business it has lost to
imported products over the past several years.

        Simultaneously,  Quaker  intends to generate  revenues based on its U.S.
production by continuing to  aggressively  develop other  products that for both
strategic  and  economic  reasons  are best  produced  in our  Fall  River-based
manufacturing  facilities.  These include Quaker's relatively new outdoor fabric
and  contract  furniture  programs,  which are  intended  to build  revenues  by
leveraging  the  Company's  technological  expertise  to expand  the  markets it
serves,  as well as fabrics for those  domestic  and  international  residential
customers in need of a strong U.S.-based fabric mill to meet their  requirements
for high quality, innovative products with relatively short delivery lead times.
On the cost reduction  front,  Quaker will be continuing to consolidate its Fall
River  manufacturing  operations into fewer facilities,  actively  marketing its
excess real estate and other excess  assets,  improving its quality  performance
and productivity levels and being increasingly innovative and flexible--while at
the same time  keeping  operating  costs as low as possible  and  continuing  to
generate positive operating cash flows through careful inventory control.

        To complete the restructuring of our business,  Quaker will need to make
significant investment in the development of new commercial relationships and in
the development, production, marketing and sale of new products. This investment
is critical  in order to  maintain  and grow our  business.  However,  we cannot
guarantee  that the capital  needed to achieve this will be available or that we
will be  successful  in our  strategic  initiatives.  If we are not  successful,
management  is prepared to take various  actions  which may include,  but not be
limited to, a reduction  in our  expenditures  for  internal  and  external  new
product  development and further reduction in overhead expenses.  These actions,
should they become necessary,  may result in a significant reduction in the size
of our operations.

        The primary source of the Company's  liquidity and capital  resources in
recent years has been  operating  cash flow.  The Company's net cash provided by
operating  activities  was $3.2 million,  $5.9 million and $20.2 million  during
2006,  2005  and  2004  respectively.  Cash  provided  by  operating  activities
decreased during 2006 due principally to higher operating losses.  Reductions in
working  capital  provided  $17.6  million of cash in 2006 as  compared to $14.5
million in 2005.  Continued  significant  working capital reductions during 2007
are not anticipated.

        Capital  expenditures  in 2006,  2005 and 2004 were $1.2  million,  $5.4
million and $14.9 million,  respectively.  Capital expenditures during 2006 were
funded  by  operating  cash  flow and  borrowings  under  the  Company's  Credit
Agreements.  Management  anticipates that capital  expenditures for new projects
will  not   exceed   $3.0   million   in   2007,   consisting   principally   of
facilities-related and information technology expenditures. Capital expenditures
are  restricted  under the 2006  Revolving  Credit  Agreement and may not exceed
$12.0 million in Fiscal 2007.  During 2006,  the Company  generated $4.8 million
from the  disposition of fixed assets.  The proceeds from these asset sales were
used to  reduce  the  term  loan  debt  under  the  2005  Credit  Agreement,  as
hereinafter defined.

        On November 9, 2006, Quaker Fabric Corporation of Fall River ("Quaker"),
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Quaker Fabric Corporation (the "Company"),  entered
into a $25.0  million  amended and  restated  senior  secured  revolving  credit
agreement  with Bank of America,  N.A.  (the "Bank") and two other  lenders (the
"2006 Revolving Credit Agreement"). Quaker's obligations to the revolving credit
lenders are secured by all of the Company's  assets,  with a junior  interest in
Quaker's real estate and machinery and equipment. Simultaneously, Quaker entered
into two (2) senior secured term loans in the aggregate amount of $24.6 million,
with GB Merchant  Partners,  LLC as Agent for the term loan  lenders  (the "2006
Term Loan Agreement"). The two term loans consist of a $12.5 million real estate
loan and a $12.1  million  equipment  loan (the "Real  Estate Term Loan" and the
"Equipment Term Loan",  respectively,  and together, the "Term Loans"). The Term
Loans are secured by all of the Company's assets, with a first priority security
interest in the Company's machinery and equipment and real estate.

        The  proceeds  of the Term Loans were used to: (i) repay,  in full,  all
outstanding  obligations  under the term loan  previously  provided  by the Bank
pursuant to the terms of Quaker's May 18, 2005 senior  secured  credit  facility
with the Bank (the "2005 Credit Agreement"), (ii) reduce Quaker's obligations to
the Bank under the  revolving  credit  portion of the 2005 Credit  Agreement  by
approximately  $8.9  million,  (iii) fund a $1.0  million  environmental  escrow
account  required by the Term Loan Lenders to cover certain  environmental  site
assessment and remediation  expenses  potentially  arising out of  environmental
conditions  at the various  parcels of real  estate  serving as  collateral  for
Quaker's  obligations to the Term Loan Lenders,  and (iv) pay for  approximately
$2.6 million of transaction  and related costs required by the Bank and the Term
Loan Lenders to be paid at the Closing, including fees to the various lenders of
approximately $1.5 million and professional and consulting fees of approximately
$1.1 million.

        Both  the  2006  Revolving  Credit  Agreement  and the  2006  Term  Loan
Agreement have maturity  dates of May 17, 2010,  and the 2006  Revolving  Credit
Agreement  and the 2006 Term Loan  Agreement  are  together  referred to in this
report as the "2006 Loan Agreements."

        Advances to Quaker under the 2006 Revolving  Credit Facility are limited
to a formula  based on  Quaker's  accounts  receivable  and  inventory  minus an
"Availability  Reserve" (and such other  reserves as the Bank may establish from
time to time in its reasonable credit  judgment.)  Advances bear interest at the
prime rate plus 1.25% or LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) plus 2.75%. As of
December  30,  2006,  the  weighted   average  interest  rate  of  the  advances
outstanding was 8.5%.

        Pursuant  to the  terms  of the  2006  Term  Loan  Agreement,  mandatory
prepayments  of the Real Estate and Equipment  Term Loans are required as Quaker
sells the assets securing those loans pursuant to the terms of the restructuring
plan Quaker has in place (the "Restructuring Plan").  Following the sale in 2008
of the last  parcel  of real  estate  contemplated  by the  Restructuring  Plan,
amortization  of the Real Estate Term Loan would be at the rate of $1.1  million
per year,  payable at the rate of  $100,000  per month in each month  other than
July. In addition,  in the event sales of certain parcels of real estate are not
consummated  on or before the dates assumed for such sales in the  Restructuring
Plan, Quaker would be responsible for making Late Sale Amortization Payments (as
defined in the 2006 Term Loan Agreement) at the rate of $150,000 per month until
such  payments  equal 92.5% of the net proceeds the Term Loan Lenders would have
received on the sale of such real estate. Mandatory prepayments of the Equipment
Term  Loan and the Real  Estate  Term  Loan are also  required  in the  event of
Equipment Appraisal and/or Real Property Appraisal Shortfalls,  respectively (as
defined in the 2006 Term Loan  Agreement).  The Term Loans bear  interest at the
LIBOR rate plus 7.75%,  payable  monthly.  As of December 30, 2006, the interest
rate on the Term Loans was 13.07%.

        In addition,  both the 2006 Revolving Credit Agreement and the 2006 Term
Loan Agreement  contain a "springing"  Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant with
which Quaker would need to comply in the event  Quaker's  "Excess  Availability"
under the 2006 Revolving Credit Agreement were to fall below certain levels. The
2006 Loan Agreements also include  customary  reporting  obligations and certain
affirmative and negative covenants  including,  but not limited to, restrictions
on dividend payments, capital expenditures, indebtedness, liens and acquisitions
and investments.

                                       33



        On December 1, 2006,  the Company and the other parties to the 2006 Term
Loan  Agreement  entered into Amendment No. 1, effective as of December 1, 2006,
to the 2006  Term  Loan  Agreement  (the  "Amendment")  to:  (i)  place  certain
restrictions  on the terms and conditions on which the Company may agree to sell
excess  machinery and equipment  going forward,  including  restrictions  on the
Company's  ability  to agree  to the  payment  of the  purchase  price  for such
equipment  over time and the minimum price at which such  equipment may be sold,
and (ii) acknowledge and consent to the Company's sale of certain  machinery and
equipment no longer needed to support the Company's operations for $2.1 million,
payable  in six (6) equal  monthly  installments  of  $315,000  each,  beginning
January 15, 2007, and a deposit of $210,000 paid upon execution of the contract.
Pursuant to the terms of the 2006 Revolving Credit  Agreement,  Bank of America,
N.A. consented to the Amendment.

        The terms of the Company's  2006 Loan  Agreements  are more favorable to
the Company than the terms of the 2005 Credit Agreement which they replaced, and
management  believes the 2006 Loan  Agreements  to be  consistent  with Quaker's
strategic  objectives  and current  operating and working  capital  needs.  More
specifically,  the 2005 Credit Agreement,  as hereinafter  defined,  contained a
number  of  financial  covenants  including,  but  not  limited  to,  a  minimum
consolidated  EBITDA  covenant.  To avoid a default  under the terms of the 2005
Credit Agreement,  this covenant required the Company to achieve certain minimum
consolidated  EBITDA  levels  at the end of each  fiscal  quarter  which,  taken
together  with the  Company's  EBITDA  results for each of the  preceding  three
fiscal quarters,  were equal to or greater than the minimum  consolidated EBITDA
requirements set forth in the 2005 Credit  Agreement.  Very short lead times and
new offshore  competition during Fiscal 2005 made it difficult for management to
predict near term revenues and to adjust the Company's  cost  structure  rapidly
enough to keep pace with  declining  sales.  As a result,  the Company  reported
operating  losses in each quarter of 2005.  These  recurring  operating  losses,
coupled  with the  Company's  inability to  accurately  forecast  future  EBITDA
levels,  resulted in several breaches of this EBITDA covenant during Fiscal 2005
and 2006,  requiring several amendments to the 2005 Credit Agreement to avoid an
acceleration of the Company's obligations under the 2005 Credit Agreement, which
the  Company  would  have been  unable  to  satisfy.  The 2006  Loan  Agreements
eliminated this EBITDA test and contain only a single  financial  covenant.  The
single  financial  covenant in the 2006 Loan Agreements  requires the Company to
maintain  minimum  Excess  Availability  of $500,000  at all times.  Because the
Company's  ability  to  comply  with an  Excess  Availability  covenant  is,  by
definition,  a function of the  Company's  cash  requirements,  and based on the
Company's  2007  Business  Plan and  sensitivity  testing of that Plan  assuming
various  reductions  in the  Company's  revenues,  management  believes that the
Company will be able to remain in compliance  with this  covenant  during Fiscal
2007 by carefully  managing  the  Company's  cash  position.  Based on this,  in
combination  with: (i) a stabilization of the Company's order rates and revenues
during the second half of Fiscal  2006 and the first two months of Fiscal  2007,
(ii)  the  progress   management   has  made  in   implementing   the  Company's
restructuring  plan and reducing costs, and (iii) the development of contingency
plans  which could be executed  in the event of an  unanticipated  shortfall  in
sales,  management  has  concluded  that the Company will have  sufficient  cash
available to operate the business during Fiscal 2007. In addition, the Company's
independent  registered  public  accounting  firm's  unqualified  opinion on the
Company's  Fiscal  2006  financial  statements  does  not  contain  a  reference
expressing  substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern.

        The Company's  ability to meet its current  obligations is dependent on:
(i) its  access  to trade  credit,  (ii) its  operating  cash flow and (iii) its
Availability  under the 2006 Revolving Credit Agreement,  which is a function of
Eligible Accounts Receivable,  Eligible Inventory,  and the Availability Reserve
as those terms are defined in the 2006 Revolving Credit Agreement.  Availability
is typically lowest during the third quarter of each fiscal year principally due
to: (i) the seasonality of the Company's  business and (ii) the negative effects
of the  Company's  annual  two-week  July  shutdown  period  on sales  and cash.
Increases in the Availability Reserve reduce Availability and thus the Company's
ability  to  borrow.  In like  manner,  decreases  in the  Availability  Reserve
increase  Availability  and thus the  Company's  ability to borrow.  The Company
manages its  inventory  levels,  accounts  payable and capital  expenditures  to
provide adequate  resources to meet its operating needs,  maximize its cash flow
and  reduce  the need to  borrow  under  the 2006  Revolving  Credit  Agreement.
However,  its cash  position  may be  adversely  affected  by  factors it cannot
completely control,  including but not limited to, a reduction in incoming order
rates,  production rates, sales, and accounts  receivable,  as well as delays in
receipt of payment of accounts  receivable and limitations of trade credit.  The
Company is seeking to dispose of certain production  equipment and manufacturing
and warehousing  facilities no longer needed as a result of the consolidation of
some of its  facilities.  In addition,  management  adjusts the  Company's  cost
structure on a continuing basis to reflect changes in demand.

        As of December 30, 2006, there were $33.7 million of loans  outstanding,
including  $9.5 million of loans  outstanding  under the 2006  Revolving  Credit
Agreement  and $24.2 million of loans  outstanding  under the 2006 Term Loan. On
December 30, 2006, unused Availability was $3.8 million, net of the $4.3 million
Availability  Reserve, and the Company had approximately $4.5 million of letters
of credit outstanding.

        As of March 29,  2007,  there were $33.1 million  of loans  outstanding,
including $11.4 million of loans  outstanding  under the 2006  Revolving  Credit
Agreement and $21.7 million of loans  outstanding  under the 2006 Term Loan.  On
March 29, 2006,  unused Availability  was $2.0 million,  net of the $4.4 million
Availability  Reserve, and the Company had approximately $4.0 million of letters
of credit outstanding.

         The following table sets forth contractual  obligations and commitments
due as of December 30, 2006.

        No  dividends  were paid on the  Company's  common  stock prior to 2003.
During the first quarter of 2003, the Board of Directors  adopted a new dividend
policy.  This policy  provides for dividends to be declared at the discretion of
the  Board  of  Directors,  based on the  Board's  quarterly  evaluation  of the
Company's  results of operations,  cash  requirements,  financial  condition and
other factors deemed  relevant by the Board.  In 2004 and 2003, the Company paid
cash  dividends  of $1.5  million or $0.09 per common  share and $1.7 million or
$0.10 per common share, respectively. As noted above, the terms of the 2006 Loan
Agreements restrict the payment of dividends.  The Company had previously agreed
with its prior lenders not to declare or pay any dividends or distributions, and
in accordance with those  agreements,  the Company  suspended  dividend payments
during the third  quarter of 2004 and no  dividends  have been  declared or paid
since that time.  Restricted  net assets of the Company as of December  30, 2006
equal 100% of the net assets of the Company.  All  operations of the Company are
conducted by Quaker. This restriction has no impact on the Company's operations,
except for the prohibition on the payment of dividends.

INFLATION

        The Company does not believe that inflation has had a significant impact
on the Company's results of operations for the periods presented.  Historically,
the Company  believes it has been able to minimize  the effects of  inflation by
improving its manufacturing and purchasing  efficiency,  by increasing  employee
productivity,  and by reflecting  the effects of inflation in the selling prices
of the new products it introduces each year.  However,  increases during 2005 in
oil prices  resulted in  significant  increases in the Company's  energy and raw
material costs, primarily as a result of the substantial number of raw materials
used  by the  Company  that  are  petroleum  derivatives,  e.g.,  polypropylene,
acrylic.  Despite an across the board  price  increase  effected  by the Company
during the first half of 2005, and a $0.15 per yard temporary surcharge effected
in October, 2005, intense competition in the industry has impaired the Company's
ability to pass cost increases of any kind along to its customers.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS,  OTHER FINANCIAL  INSTRUMENTS,  AND DERIVATIVE
COMMODITY INSTRUMENTS

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

        The  Company's  exposures  relative  to market  risk are due to  foreign
exchange risk and interest rate risk.

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK

        Approximately  5.5% of the Company's  revenues are generated outside the
U.S. from sales which are not denominated in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency risk
arises  because  the  Company  engages in business in Mexico and Brazil in local
currency.  Accordingly, in the absence of hedging activities,  whenever the U.S.
dollar strengthens  relative to the other major currencies,  there is an adverse
affect on the Company's results of operations,  and alternatively,  whenever the
U.S. dollar weakens relative to the other major currencies,  there is a positive
affect on the Company's results of operations.

        It had been the Company's policy to minimize,  for a period of time, the
unforeseen  impact on its  results  of  operations  of  fluctuations  in foreign
exchange rates by using derivative financial instruments to hedge the fair value
of foreign currency  denominated  intercompany  payables.  The Company's primary
foreign  currency  exposures in relation to the U.S. dollar are the Mexican peso
and the Brazilian real.

        At  December  30,  2006,   the  Company  had  no  derivative   financial
instruments  to hedge the  anticipated  cash flows from the repayment of foreign
currency denominated intercompany payables outstanding.


INTEREST RATE RISK

        The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest  rates on
debt.  The  Company's  exposure to interest  rate risk consists of floating rate
debt based on either Prime or London  Interbank  Offered Rate  ("LIBOR")  rates,
plus an  "Applicable  Margin" under the Company's  2006 Loan  Agreements.  As of
December 30, 2006, there was $9.5 million of borrowings  outstanding  under 2006
Revolving Credit Agreement and $24.2 million of borrowings outstanding under the
2006  Term Loan  Agreement  at  floating  rates,  including  some  LIBOR  loans.
Increases in short-term  interest  rates will  increase the  Company's  interest
expense.  Based upon the  balances  outstanding  as of  December  30,  2006,  an
increase of 100 basis points in interest  rates would increase  annual  interest
expense by approximately $337,000.

                   QUAKER FABRIC CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                 (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)


1. OPERATIONS

        Quaker Fabric  Corporation and subsidiaries  (the "Company" or "Quaker")
designs,  manufactures  and  markets  woven  upholstery  fabrics  primarily  for
residential  furniture  markets and specialty yarns for use in the production of
its own fabrics and for sale to distributors of craft yarns and manufacturers of
home furnishings and other products.

        On a comparative basis, the Company's sales declined  quarter-to-quarter
in each of the six consecutive  fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2005. Quaker
also reported  operating  losses in each of those fiscal  quarters,  causing the
Company to breach  certain  financial  covenants  in its 2005 Credit  Agreement.
During 2005,  management put a  restructuring  plan in place intended to restore
the  Company to  profitability.  The key  elements  of this  restructuring  plan
include:  (i) stabilizing  revenues from Quaker's U.S.-based  residential fabric
business by concentrating the Company's marketing efforts on those markets least
sensitive  to  imported  products;  (ii)  reducing  operating  costs  enough  to
compensate  for the drop the Company has  experienced  in its revenues  over the
past few years;  (iii) selling  excess  assets;  (iv)  developing  strategically
important  commercial  relationships  with a limited number of carefully  chosen
offshore fabric mills to recapture the share of the domestic  residential market
lost to foreign imports over the past few years;  and (v) generating  additional
profitable  sales by penetrating  the outdoor and contract  fabric  markets.  To
reduce the Company's working capital requirements and further conserve cash, the
Company may also further  reduce its cost  structure  by taking  actions such as
further  personnel  reductions  and/or the suspension of certain new product/new
market development projects. Successful execution of the Company's restructuring
plan will require considerable  operational,  management,  financial,  sales and
marketing,  supply chain, information systems and design expertise involving the
need to continually recruit, train and retain qualified personnel.

        At the time the Company was  required to file its Annual  Report on Form
10-K for the year ended  December 31, 2005,  all of the  Company's  obligations,
liabilities  and  indebtedness  to the lenders  under the 2005 Credit  Agreement
could have been declared due and payable in full at any time.  While the Company
was then  exploring  various  alternatives  to improve its financing  situation,
including a  replacement  of the 2005 Credit  Agreement,  there was no assurance
that the  Company  would be  successful  in its  efforts  to obtain  appropriate
financing,  and  consequently,  the report issued by the  Company's  independent
registered  public  accounting  firm  on the  Company's  Fiscal  2005  financial
statements included an explanatory paragraph raising substantial doubt about the
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

        On November 9, 2006, Quaker Fabric Corporation of Fall River ("Quaker"),
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Quaker Fabric Corporation (the "Company"),  entered
into a $25.0  million  amended and  restated  senior  secured  revolving  credit
agreement  with Bank of America,  N.A.  (the "Bank") and two other  lenders (the
"2006 Revolving Credit Agreement").  Simultaneously, Quaker entered into two (2)
senior  secured term loans in the  aggregate  amount of $24.6  million,  with GB
Merchant  Partners,  LLC as Agent for the term loan lenders (the "2006 Term Loan
Agreement,"  and together with the 2006 Revolving  Credit  Agreement,  the "2006
Loan Agreements"). (See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

        The terms of the Company's  2006 Loan  Agreements  are more favorable to
the Company than the terms of the 2005 Credit Agreement which they replaced, and
management  believes the 2006 Loan  Agreements  to be  consistent  with Quaker's
strategic  objectives  and current  operating and working  capital  needs.  More
specifically,  the 2005 Credit Agreement,  as hereinafter  defined,  contained a
number  of  financial  covenants  including,  but  not  limited  to,  a  minimum
consolidated  EBITDA  covenant.  To avoid a default  under the terms of the 2005
Credit Agreement,  this covenant required the Company to achieve certain minimum
consolidated  EBITDA  levels  at the end of each  fiscal  quarter  which,  taken
together  with the  Company's  EBITDA  results for each of the  preceding  three
fiscal quarters,  were equal to or greater than the minimum  consolidated EBITDA
requirements set forth in the 2005 Credit  Agreement.  Very short lead times and
new offshore  competition during Fiscal 2005 made it difficult for management to
predict near term revenues and to adjust the Company's  cost  structure  rapidly
enough to keep pace with  declining  sales.  As a result,  the Company  reported
operating  losses in each quarter of 2005.  These  recurring  operating  losses,
coupled  with the  Company's  inability to  accurately  forecast  future  EBITDA
levels,  resulted in several breaches of this EBITDA covenant during Fiscal 2005
and 2006,  requiring several amendments to the 2005 Credit Agreement to avoid an
acceleration of the Company's obligations under the 2005 Credit Agreement, which
the  Company  would  have been  unable  to  satisfy.  The 2006  Loan  Agreements
eliminated this EBITDA test and contain only a single  financial  covenant.  The
single  financial  covenant in the 2006 Loan Agreements  requires the Company to
maintain  minimum  Excess  Availability  of $500,000  at all times.  Because the
Company's  ability  to  comply  with an  Excess  Availability  covenant  is,  by
definition,  a function of the  Company's  cash  requirements,  and based on the
Company's  2007  Business  Plan and  sensitivity  testing of that Plan  assuming
various  reductions  in the  Company's  revenues,  management  believes that the
Company will be able to remain in compliance  with this  covenant  during Fiscal
2007 by carefully  managing  the  Company's  cash  position.  Based on this,  in
combination  with: (i) a stabilization of the Company's order rates and revenues
during the second half of Fiscal  2006 and the first two months of Fiscal  2007,
(ii)  the  progress   management   has  made  in   implementing   the  Company's
restructuring  plan and reducing costs, and (iii) the development of contingency
plans  which could be executed  in the event of an  unanticipated  shortfall  in
sales,  management  has  concluded  that the Company will have  sufficient  cash
available to operate the business

                                       40



during Fiscal 2007. In addition,  the Company's  independent  registered  public
accounting  firm's  unqualified  opinion on the Company's  Fiscal 2006 financial
statements does not contain a reference  expressing  substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.


2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        (a) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION. The accompanying consolidated financial
statements  include the  accounts of Quaker  Fabric  Corporation  and its wholly
owned  subsidiaries.  All  intercompany  balances  and  transactions  have  been
eliminated in consolidation.

        (b) FISCAL YEAR. The Company's  fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest
to January 1 of each year.  The fiscal years ended  December 30, 2006,  December
31, 2005, and January 1, 2005 all contained 52 weeks.

        (c) REVENUE  RECOGNITION.  Revenue is recognized from product sales when
earned as required by generally accepted accounting principles and in accordance
with SEC Staff  Accounting  Bulletin  104,  "Revenue  Recognition  in  Financial
Statements." Revenues are recognized when product shipment has occurred. At that
time,  the price is fixed and  determinable  and  collectability  is  reasonably
assured, title and risk of loss have transferred and all provisions agreed to in
the arrangement necessary for customer acceptance have been fulfilled.

        (d)  CASH.  The  Company  maintains  a  minimal  amount  of  cash in its
operating  accounts using available funds to reduce debt. The Company frequently
has checks  issued and  outstanding  in excess of the cash  balances in its bank
accounts.  Funds are borrowed daily under the 2006 Revolving Credit Agreement to
cover checks which clear daily through the Company's  operating account.  Checks
issued and  outstanding  in excess of the cash balance  constitute an overdraft.
Overdrafts  are  included in Accounts  Payable on the  Balance  Sheet,  and were
$1,243 and $792 as of December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 respectively.

        (e)  ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL  ACCOUNTS AND SALES RETURNS AND  ALLOWANCES.
The Company  performs  ongoing  credit  evaluations of its customers and adjusts
credit   limits  based  upon  payment   history  and  the   customer's   current
creditworthiness,  as determined by management's  review of their current credit
information. The Company continuously monitors collections and payments from its
customers  and  maintains a provision  for  estimated  credit  losses based upon
historical  experience and any specific customer  collection issues  identified.
The  Company  cannot  guarantee  that  credit  loss rates in the future  will be
consistent with those experienced in the past. The Company's accounts receivable
are  spread  among   approximately   1,000  customers  and  no  single  customer
represented  more than 5.8% of the accounts  receivable  balance at December 30,
2006 and  December  31,  2005,  respectively.  The  provision  for bad debts was
$1,652, $606 and $1,141 for the years ended December 30, 2006, December 31, 2005
and January 1, 2005, respectively.

        Management  analyzes  historical  sales  and  quality  returns,  current
economic  trends,  and the Company's  quality  performance  when  evaluating the
adequacy of the reserve for sales returns and allowances.  Management  judgments
and estimates must be made and used in connection with  establishing the reserve
for sales returns and  allowances in any  accounting  period.  The provision for
sales  returns and  allowances  is recorded  as a reduction  of sales.  Material
differences  may  result in the amount and timing of net sales for any period if
management makes different judgments or uses different estimates.

        (f)  INVENTORIES.  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market
and include  materials,  labor and overhead.  A standard cost system is used and
approximates  cost on a FIFO basis.  Cost for  financial  reporting  purposes is
determined by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. Inbound freight,  purchasing
and receiving costs,  inspection costs, internal transfer costs and raw material
warehousing  costs are all  capitalized  into  inventory and included in cost of
goods sold as related  inventory is sold.  Finished goods  warehousing costs and
the cost of operating the Company's  finished product  distribution  centers are
included in Selling, General and Administrative expenses. Inventories consist of
the following at December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005:

                                           DECEMBER 30,    December 31,
                                               2006            2005
                                           ------------    ------------

        Raw materials ................     $     16,532    $     22,504
        Work-in-process ..............            3,397           6,120
        Finished goods ...............           10,703          12,169
                                           ------------    ------------
          Inventory at FIFO ..........           30,632          40,793
        LIFO adjustment ..............           (2,510)         (2,966)
                                           ------------    ------------
        Inventory at LIFO ............     $     28,122    $     37,827
                                           ============    ============

        During  the  years  ended  December  30,  2006 and  December  31,  2005,
inventory quantities were reduced. These reductions resulted in a liquidation of
LIFO  inventory  quantities.  The effect of the inventory  reduction in 2006 and
2005 decreased cost of goods sold by approximately  $942 and $277, and increased
net  income by  approximately  $655 and $180,  or $0.04 and  $0.01,  per  share,
respectively. The effect of the inventory reduction in 2004 was immaterial.

                                       41



        Approximately  60% of finished goods are produced upon receipt of a firm
order.  Management,  in  partnership  with key customers,  utilizes  forecasting
techniques to  significantly  reduce delivery lead times.  Management  regularly
reviews  inventory  quantities  on hand and records a  provision  for excess and
obsolete  inventory  based  primarily on  historical  information  and estimated
forecasts of product  demand and raw material  requirements  for the next twelve
months.

        (g) PROPERTY,  PLANT AND  EQUIPMENT.  Property,  plant and equipment are
stated at cost.  The Company  provides  for  depreciation  and  amortization  on
property and  equipment on a  straight-line  basis over their  estimated  useful
lives as follows:

                Buildings and improvements ....      32-39 years
                Machinery and equipment .......       2-20 years
                Furniture and fixtures ........       5-10 years
                Motor vehicles ................        4-5 years
                Leasehold improvements ........    Life of Lease
                Capital leases ................    Life of Lease

        The useful life for leasehold  improvements is initially  established as
the lesser of: (i) the useful life of the asset or (ii) the initial  term of the
lease  excluding  renewal option periods,  unless it is reasonably  assured that
renewal  options will be exercised  based on the existence of a bargain  renewal
option or economic  penalties.  If the exercise of renewal options is reasonably
assured due to the existence of bargain renewal  options or economic  penalties,
such as the existence of significant leasehold improvements,  the useful life of
the  leasehold  improvements  includes  both the  initial  term and any  renewal
periods.  Gains or losses on the  disposition  of fixed  assets are  included in
"Other Income."

        Maintenance  and repairs are charged to  operations  as  incurred.  When
equipment and improvements  are sold or otherwise  disposed of, the asset's cost
and accumulated  depreciation  are removed from the accounts,  and the resulting
gain  or  loss,  if  any,  is  included  in the  results  of  operations.  Fully
depreciated assets are removed from the accounts when they are no longer in use.

        (h) IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS. The Company periodically  considers
whether  there has been a permanent  impairment  in the value of its  long-lived
assets, primarily property and equipment in accordance with Financial Accounting
Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No. 144 ("SFAS No. 144"), "Accounting for the
Impairment  or Disposal of  Long-Lived  Assets." The Company  evaluates  various
factors,  including  current  and  projected  future  operating  results and the
undiscounted cash flows for any underperforming long-lived assets. To the extent
that the  estimated  future  undiscounted  cash flows are less than the carrying
amount of the asset,  the asset is written  down to its  estimated  fair  market
value and an impairment  loss is  recognized.  The value of impaired  long-lived
assets is  reviewed  and  adjusted  periodically  to  reflect  changes  in these
factors.

        (i) GOODWILL.  Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over
the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. In accordance with Financial
Accounting  Standards Board Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards (SFAS)
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," the Company ceased amortization
of goodwill effective December 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 also requires companies to
test goodwill for  impairment at least  annually,  or when changes in events and
circumstances warrant an evaluation.  Due to lower than anticipated orders and a
related reduction in the Company's backlog position, the Company determined that
goodwill  should be tested for impairment at July 2, 2005 in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS No. 142. The Company tested for impairment using a discounted
cash flow approach.  As a result of this testing,  the Company  determined  that
goodwill  had been  impaired and should be written  down to $0.  Accordingly,  a
goodwill  impairment  charge of $5,432,  or $0.32 per share, was recorded in the
second quarter of Fiscal 2005.

        (j) INCOME TAXES.  The Company  accounts for income taxes under SFAS No.
109,  "Accounting  for Income Taxes." This  statement  requires that the Company
recognize  a  current  tax  liability  or asset for  current  taxes  payable  or
refundable  and a deferred tax liability or asset for the  estimated  future tax
effects of  temporary  differences  and  carryforwards  to the  extent  they are
realizable.  A valuation  allowance is recorded to reduce the Company's deferred
tax  assets to the  amount  that is more  likely  than not to be  realized.  The
Company  does  not  provide  for  United  States  income  taxes on  earnings  of
subsidiaries  outside  of the  United  States.  The  Company's  intention  is to
reinvest these earnings permanently.  Management believes that United States net
operating  losses  would  largely  eliminate  any United  States  taxes on these
earnings.

        (k) EARNINGS  (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE.  Basic earnings (loss) per common
share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted  average  number
of common shares  outstanding during the period. For diluted earnings (loss) per
share,  the  denominator  also  includes  dilutive   outstanding  stock  options
determined  using the treasury  stock method.  Due to losses for the years ended
December 30, 2006,  December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005, no incremental shares
are included in the dilutive  weighted  average shares  outstanding  because the
effect would be antidilutive. The dilutive potential common shares for the years
ended  December 30, 2006,  December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005 would have been
2, 28, and 294  respectively.  The following table  reconciles  weighted average
common shares  outstanding  to weighted  average common shares  outstanding  and
dilutive potential common shares.

        (l)  FOREIGN  CURRENCY.  The assets  and  liabilities  of the  Company's
Mexican and Brazilian  operations are translated at period-end  exchange  rates,
and statement of operations accounts are translated at weighted average exchange
rates.  The resulting  translation  adjustments are included in the consolidated
balance   sheet  as  a  separate   component  of  equity,   "Accumulated   Other
Comprehensive  Income (Loss)," and foreign currency transaction gains and losses
are  included  with  selling,   general  and  administrative   expenses  in  the
consolidated  statements of  operations.  Foreign  currency  losses  included in
selling,  general, and administrative  expenses were $95, $527, and $130 for the
years  ended  December  30,  2006,  December  31,  2005  and  January  1,  2005,
respectively.

        The Company  accounts for its derivative  instruments in accordance with
SFAS No. 133,  "Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging  Activities,"
and SFAS No. 138  "Accounting  for Certain  Derivative  Instruments  and Hedging
Activities,  an Amendment of FASB  Statement No. 133,"  (collectively,  SFAS No.
133, as amended)  effective in Fiscal 2001. SFAS No. 133 establishes  accounting
and reporting  standards requiring that every derivative  instrument  (including
certain derivative  instruments  embedded in other contracts) be recorded on the
balance  sheet as  either  an asset or  liability  measured  at its fair  value.
Special  accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative's gains and losses
to offset related results on the hedged item in the statement of operations,  to
the extent effective, and requires that the Company formally document, designate
and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting. SFAS
No. 133 in part,  allows  special hedge  accounting for fair value and cash flow
hedges. The statement provides that the gain or loss on a derivative  instrument
designated  and  qualifying as a fair value hedging  instrument,  as well as the
offsetting  changes  in the fair value of the hedged  item  attributable  to the
hedged risk, be recognized  currently in earnings in the same accounting period.
SFAS No.  133  provides  that  the  effective  portion  of the gain or loss on a
derivative   instrument  designated  and  qualifying  as  a  cash  flow  hedging
instrument be reported as a component of "Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)" and
be  reclassified  into  earnings in the same period or periods  during which the
hedged forecasted  transaction  affects earnings.  The ineffective  portion of a
derivative's  change in fair  value is  recognized  currently  through  earnings
regardless of whether the instrument is designated as a hedge.

        The Company periodically enters into forward exchange contracts to hedge
the fair value of foreign currency  denominated  intercompany  accounts payable.
The purpose of the Company's foreign currency hedging activities is to minimize,
for a period of time,  the  impact on the  Company's  results of  operations  of
unforeseen  fluctuations in foreign  exchange rates.  The Company has designated
these contracts as fair value hedges intended to lock in the expected cash flows
from the repayment of foreign currency denominated  intercompany payables at the
available  forward rate at the  inception of the  contract.  Changes in the fair
value of the hedge instruments are recognized in earnings. At December 31, 2005,
the fair value of these  contracts  resulted in a loss of $121.  At December 30,
2006, the Company had no forward exchange  contracts to exchange Brazilian reals
and Mexican pesos for U.S. dollars.

        These derivative financial  instruments are for risk management purposes
only and are not used for trading or speculative purposes.

        (m) USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE  PREPARATION  OF FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS.  The
presentation of financial  statements in conformity  with accounting  principles
generally  accepted in the United States  requires  management to make estimates
and assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial
statements and the reported  amounts of income and expenses during the reporting
periods.  Operating  results in the future  could vary from the amounts  derived
from  management's  estimates  and  assumptions.  Material  estimates  that  are
particularly  susceptible to significant  changes in the near term relate to the
determination of inventory reserves and accounts receivable reserves, the useful
life or potential impairment of long lived assets,  self-insurance reserves, and
the potential impairment of goodwill.

        (n)  SELF-INSURANCE  RESERVES.  The Company is self-insured for workers'
compensation and medical insurance. The Company has purchased stop loss coverage
for both types of risks in order to minimize the effect of a catastrophic  level
of claims. At the end of each accounting  period,  the reserves for incurred but
not reported claims must be evaluated. In addition,  management evaluates claims
experience  on a regular  basis in  consultation  with the  Company's  insurance
advisors  and makes  adjustments  to these  reserves  as  required.  Significant
management  judgments  and estimates  must be made and used in  connection  with
evaluating the adequacy of  self-insurance  reserves.  Material  differences may
result in the  amount and  timing of these  costs for any  period if  management
makes different judgments or uses different estimates.

                                       43



        (o)  FAIR  VALUE  OF  FINANCIAL  INSTRUMENTS.  The  Company's  financial
instruments  mainly  consist of cash,  accounts  receivable,  accounts  payable,
foreign currency  financial  instruments and debt. The carrying amounts of these
financial  instruments as of December 30, 2006 approximate their fair values due
to the  short-term  nature  and terms of these  instruments,  and also the rates
available  to the Company for debt and foreign  currency  financial  instruments
with similar terms and remaining maturities.

        (p) SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS.  The Company  accounts for shipping and
handling costs in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 00-10,
"Accounting  for  Shipping  and  Handling  Fees and  Costs,"  (EITF  00-10).  In
accordance with this guidance,  the Company records  shipping and handling costs
billed to  customers as a component  of revenue.  Shipping  and handling  costs,
which are included in cost of goods sold, are not significant.

        (q)  RESEARCH  AND  DEVELOPMENT  COSTS.  Expenditures  for  research and
development are expensed as incurred.  Research and development costs consist of
internal   material,   labor  and  overhead   expenses.   The  Company  expensed
approximately $3,300, $4,900 and $6,400 in research and development costs during
the years  ended  December  30,  2006,  December  31,  2005 and January 1, 2005,
respectively, primarily related to the development of new products.

        (r) ADVERTISING  COSTS.  Advertising  expenditures  consist primarily of
print media and trade shows.  These  advertising  costs are expensed  during the
period  incurred and totaled $284,  $470,  and $635 for the years ended December
30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005, respectively.

        (s) STOCK OPTION PLANS.  Prior to January 1, 2006 the Company  accounted
for its stock  option  plans  under  APB 25 as well as  provided  disclosure  of
stock-based  compensation  as outlined in Financial  Accounting  Standards Board
Statement No. 123,  "Accounting for Stock-Based  Compensation,"  ("SFAS 123") as
amended by Financial  Accounting  Standards Board Statement No.148,  "Accounting
for Stock-Based  Compensation Transition and Disclosure," ("SFAS 148"). SFAS 123
required disclosure of pro forma net income, EPS and other information as if the
fair value method of accounting  for stock options and other equity  instruments
described in SFAS 123 had been adopted. The Company adopted Financial Accounting
Standards  Board  Statement  No.  123R  "Share  Based  Payment,"  ("SFAS  123R")
effective  January 1, 2006 using the modified  prospective  method.  No unvested
stock  options were  outstanding  as of December 31, 2005. No stock options were
granted and no  modifications  to outstanding  options were made during the year
ended December 30, 2006.

        Had compensation cost for awards granted under the Company's stock-based
compensation  plans been  determined  based on the fair value at the grant dates
consistent  with the  method  set  forth  in SFAS No.  123,  the  effect  on the
Company's net loss and loss per common share would have been as follows:

        Pro forma compensation expense for options is reflected over the vesting
period;  therefore,  future  pro forma  compensation  expense  may be greater as
additional  options are granted.  No options were granted  during the year ended
December 30, 2006.

        On December 16, 2005, the Board of Directors  approved the  acceleration
of vesting of all outstanding  unvested stock options  previously awarded to its
employees   (including  its  executive  officers)  under  the  Company's  equity
compensation plans. The acceleration of vesting became effective on December 16,
2005 for stock options  outstanding  as of such date. On such date,  the closing
market  price was $2.60.  Options to  purchase  an  aggregate  of  approximately
565,000  shares of common  stock (of which  options to purchase an  aggregate of
393,000  shares of common stock are held by  executive  officers of the Company)
were  accelerated on December 16, 2005. The exercise prices of the options range
from $7.04 to $9.12.  Under the recently issued Financial  Accounting  Standards
Board Statement No. 123R,  "Share-Based  Payment" ("SFAS 123R"), the Company was
required  to apply the expense  recognition  provisions  of SFAS 123R  beginning
January 2, 2006.  The decision to accelerate the vesting of these stock options,
all of

                                       44



which were at  exercise  prices  higher  than  current  market  price,  was made
because:  (i) there was no  perceived  value in these  options to the  employees
involved, and (ii) there were no employee retention ramifications.

        Included in the options  subject to the  accelerated  vesting  described
above were options granted below fair market value in May 2002. The compensation
expense  related  to these  options  was being  amortized  over  their five year
vesting period. In accordance with APB 25, the unamortized  compensation expense
related to these options of $300 was expensed in the fourth quarter of 2005.

        (t) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS.  In November 2004, the FASB issued
SFAS No.  151,  "Inventory  Costs,"  which  amends the  guidance  in ARB No. 43,
Chapter 4,  Inventory  Pricing.  This  amendment  clarifies the  accounting  for
abnormal amounts of idle facility  expense,  freight,  handling costs and wasted
material  (spoilage).  SFAS No. 151 requires  that those items be  recognized as
current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criteria specified in
ARB 43 of "so abnormal." In addition,  SFAS No. 151 requires that  allocation of
fixed  production  overheads  to the  costs of  conversion  be  based on  normal
capacity of the production  facilities.  SFAS No. 151 is effective for financial
statements for fiscal years  beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS
No. 151 did not have a material effect on the Company's  Consolidated  Financial
Statements.

         In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB  Interpretation  No. 48, "Accounting
for  Uncertainty in Income Taxes," (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting and
reporting  for  income  taxes  recognized  in  accordance  with  SFAS  No.  109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes." FIN 48 prescribes a  comprehensive  model for the
financial  statement  recognition,  measurement,  presentation and disclosure of
uncertain tax positions  taken,  or expected to be taken, in income tax returns.
The  adoption  of FIN 48 is not  expected  to  have  a  material  effect  on the
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

        In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, "Fair Value  Measurements,"
which  provides  enhanced  guidance  for using fair value to measure  assets and
liabilities.  SFAS 157 establishes a common definition of fair value, provides a
framework  for  measuring  fair  value  under  accounting  principles  generally
accepted in the United  States and expands  disclosure  requirements  about fair
value  measurements.  SFAS 157 is  effective  for us as of January 1, 2008.  The
Company is  currently  evaluating  the impact,  if any, the adoption of SFAS 157
will have on its financial position and results of operations.

        In September 2006, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting  Bulletin (SAB)
No. 108,  "Considering the Effects of Prior Year  Misstatements when Quantifying
Misstatements  in Current Year Financial  Statements." SAB No. 108 was issued in
order to eliminate the diversity of practice  surrounding  how public  companies
quantify  financial  statement  misstatements.  This  SAB  establishes  a  "dual
approach"  methodology  that  requires  quantification  of  financial  statement
misstatements based on the effects of the misstatements on each of the company's
financial  statements  (both  the  statement  of  operations  and  statement  of
financial  position).  The SEC has stated  that SAB No. 108 should be applied no
later than the annual  financial  statements  for the first  fiscal  year ending
after  November  15,  2006,  with earlier  application  encouraged.  SAB No. 108
permits a company to elect either retrospective or prospective application.
Prospective application requires recording a cumulative effect adjustment in the
period of adoption,  as well as detailed  disclosure of the nature and amount of
each individual error being corrected through the cumulative  adjustment and how
and when it arose. The application of SAB No. 108 had no effect on the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements.

         (u)   RECLASSIFICATIONS.   Certain   prior  year   amounts   have  been
reclassified   to  conform   with  the  current   year's   presentation.   These
reclassifications  had no impact on the Company's  financial position or results
of operations.

2005 RESTRUCTURING

        During 2005, the Company  implemented a restructuring  plan to address a
declining  order rate and sales volume,  and the  following  steps were taken as
part of that plan:

            o   Reduced  production  capacity  by  idling  excess  manufacturing
                equipment.

            o   Reduced the workforce from 2,314 employees as of January 1, 2005
                to 1,655 employees as of December 31, 2005.

            o   Closed  the  Company's  manufacturing  facility  located  at 763
                Quequechan  Street in Fall River,  Massachusetts and offered the
                building for sale.

            o   Idled  all  of the  manufacturing  equipment  at  its  Somerset,
                Massachusetts  facility  and offered the  building  for sale.

            o   Offered for sale 60 acres of undeveloped land purchased in 1998.

        As  a  result  of  these  steps,  the  Quequechan  Street  and  Somerset
facilities and idled  equipment were evaluated for impairment in accordance with
SFAS No. 144.  Based on projected  gross cash flows expected from this equipment
and these facilities, the Company determined that these assets were impaired and
recorded a charge of $10,241,  representing the difference between  management's
estimate of their fair value and their book value.  Also,  the Company  incurred
$255 of employee termination costs related to 27 employees. In addition, as part
of the  consolidation of manufacturing and warehousing  facilities,  the Company
incurred  $1,203 of moving and duplicate  occupancy  costs during the year ended
December 31, 2005. These costs are included in cost of goods sold.

2006 RESTRUCTURING

        During 2006, the Company continued to implement its restructuring  plan,
including  taking  actions  intended to reduce costs and bring them in line with
lower revenue  estimates and the 2006 Business  Plan.  The following  steps were
taken:


            o   A plan was adopted to reduce the number of  facilities  occupied
                by the  Company  from six to two.  Consistent  with  that  plan,
                during   2006,   the  Company   offered  for  sale  three  owned
                manufacturing  facilities  and its  corporate  headquarters  and
                research and development facility.

            o   Additional  equipment was idled to reduce production capacity to
                levels consistent with anticipated order volumes.

            o   Reduced the  workforce  from 1,655  employees as of December 31,
                2005 to 1,008 employees as of December 30, 2006.

            o   Completed  the  sale  of the  Company's  Quequechan  Street  and
                Somerset   facilities,   which   realized   cash   proceeds   of
                approximately $2,800.

                                       46



        As a result of these actions,  the Company  evaluated its facilities and
equipment  for  impairment,  in  accordance  with SFAS No.  144.  Based upon the
projected  gross cash flows  expected  from the assets idled  during  2006,  the
Company  determined  that these assets were  impaired and recorded an impairment
charge of $21,967.  Also, the Company recorded additional  impairment charges of
$507 related to the 60 acres of land held for sale.  This land  previously had a
book  value of $4,007,  which  approximated  the fair  market  value  based upon
independent  appraisals.  The land was written down in the third quarter of 2006
to a revised  estimated sales value of $3,500,  based on written offers received
but not accepted during the fourth quarter. This property remains for sale.

        The Company also closed its Graham Road, Fall River,  Massachusetts yarn
manufacturing  facility in the fourth  quarter of 2006.  The Company  recorded a
charge of $193 during the fourth  quarter of 2006 for the remaining  contractual

5. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

        During the second half of 2005, the Company idled certain  manufacturing
equipment  and  decided  to offer  two  owned  facilities  for  sale.  The land,
buildings and  improvements  were written down to management's  estimate of fair
market  value and placed with a real estate  broker.  Subsequently,  the Company
entered into agreements  during the first quarter of 2006 to sell its Quequechan
Street  facility  in Fall  River and its County  Street  facility  in  Somerset,
Massachusetts  for  $1,400  and  $1,700,  respectively.  The  Quequechan  Street
facility  sold in June 2006 for $1,400  less  expenses  of $118,  and the County
Street facility sold in July 2006 for $1,625. The Company sold the County Street
facility for a gain of $367. In addition, the Company has 60 acres of unimproved
land  purchased  in 1998,  which has been placed  with a real estate  broker for
sale. This land is stated at estimated fair market value based upon management's
estimate of the  expected  proceeds to be  received  upon sale of the  property.
During the third quarter of 2006, the Company decided to offer three  additional
manufacturing  facilities  and its  administrative  office and R&D  facility for
sale. A real estate broker is actively  marketing  these four  properties  which
have an aggregate book value of $13,636.

         During  the  fourth  quarter  of  2006,  the  Company  entered  into an
agreement to sell certain  equipment for $2,100.  The Company received a deposit
of $210, and will receive monthly installment deposits of $315 though June 2007.
The Company has also  identified  certain other  manufacturing  equipment with a
book value of $2,300, which is being offered for sale.

        On November 9, 2006, Quaker Fabric Corporation of Fall River ("Quaker"),
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Quaker Fabric Corporation (the "Company"),  entered
into a $25,000 amended and restated senior secured  revolving  credit  agreement
with Bank of  America,  N.A.  (the  "Bank")  and two other  lenders  (the  "2006
Revolving  Credit  Agreement").  Quaker's  obligations  to the revolving  credit
lenders are secured by all of the Company's  assets,  with a junior  interest in
Quaker's real estate and machinery and equipment. Simultaneously, Quaker entered
into two (2) senior secured term loans in the aggregate amount of $24,600,  with
GB Merchant  Partners,  LLC as Agent for the term loan  lenders  (the "2006 Term
Loan Agreement"). The two term loans consist of a $12,500 real estate loan and a
$12,100  equipment  loan (the "Real  Estate Term Loan" and the  "Equipment  Term
Loan", respectively, and together, the "Term Loans"). The Term Loans are secured
by all of the Company's  assets,  with a first priority security interest in the
Company's machinery and equipment and real estate.

        The  proceeds  of the Term Loans were used to: (i) repay,  in full,  all
outstanding  obligations  under the term loan  previously  provided  by the Bank
pursuant to the terms of Quaker's May 18, 2005 senior  secured  credit  facility
with the Bank (the "2005 Credit Agreement"), (ii) reduce Quaker's obligations to
the Bank under the  revolving  credit  portion of the 2005 Credit  Agreement  by
approximately  $8,900, (iii) fund a $1,000 environmental escrow account required
by the Term Loan Lenders to cover  certain  environmental  site  assessment  and
remediation expenses potentially arising out of environmental  conditions at the
various parcels of real estate serving as collateral for Quaker's obligations to
the Term Loan Lenders,  and (iv) pay for approximately $2,600 of transaction and
related  costs  required by the Bank and the Term Loan Lenders to be paid at the
Closing,  including  fees to the  various  lenders of  approximately  $1,500 and
professional and consulting fees of approximately $1,100.

                                       48



        Both  the  2006  Revolving  Credit  Agreement  and the  2006  Term  Loan
Agreement have maturity  dates of May 17, 2010,  and the 2006  Revolving  Credit
Agreement  and the 2006 Term Loan  Agreement  are  together  referred to in this
report as the "2006 Loan Agreements."

        Advances to Quaker under the 2006 Revolving  Credit Facility are limited
to a formula  based on  Quaker's  accounts  receivable  and  inventory  minus an
"Availability  Reserve" (and such other  reserves as the Bank may establish from
time to time in its reasonable credit  judgment.)  Advances bear interest at the
prime rate plus 1.25% or LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) plus 2.75%. As of
December  30,  2006,  the  weighted   average  interest  rate  of  the  advances
outstanding was 8.5%

        Pursuant  to the  terms  of the  2006  Term  Loan  Agreement,  mandatory
prepayments  of the Real Estate and Equipment  Term Loans are required as Quaker
sells the assets securing those loans pursuant to the terms of the restructuring
plan Quaker has in place (the "Restructuring Plan").  Following the sale in 2008
of the last  parcel  of real  estate  contemplated  by the  Restructuring  Plan,
amortization  of the Real  Estate  Term Loan  would be at the rate of $1,100 per
year,  payable at the rate of $100 per month in each month  other than July.  In
addition,  in the  event  sales  of  certain  parcels  of  real  estate  are not
consummated  on or before the dates assumed for such sales in the  Restructuring
Plan, Quaker would be responsible for making Late Sale Amortization Payments (as
defined  in the 2006 Term Loan  Agreement)  at the rate of $150 per month  until
such  payments  equal 92.5% of the net proceeds the Term Loan Lenders would have
received on the sale of such real estate. Mandatory prepayments of the Equipment
Term  Loan and the Real  Estate  Term  Loan are also  required  in the  event of
Equipment Appraisal and/or Real Property Appraisal Shortfalls,  respectively (as
defined in the 2006 Term Loan  Agreement).  The Term Loans bear  Interest at the
LIBOR rate plus 7.75% and is payable  monthly.  As of  December  30,  2006,  the
interest rate on the Term Loans was 13.07%.

        In addition,  both the 2006 Revolving Credit Agreement and the 2006 Term
Loan Agreement  contain a "springing"  Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant with
which Quaker would need to comply in the event  Quaker's  "Excess  Availability"
under the 2006 Revolving Credit Agreement were to fall below certain levels. The
2006 Loan Agreements also include  customary  reporting  obligations and certain
affirmative and negative covenants  including,  but not limited to, restrictions
on dividend payments, capital expenditures, indebtedness, liens and acquisitions
and investments.

        On December 1, 2006,  the Company and the other parties to the 2006 Term
Loan  Agreement  entered into Amendment No. 1, effective as of December 1, 2006,
to the 2006  Term  Loan  Agreement  (the  "Amendment")  to:  (i)  place  certain
restrictions  on the terms and conditions on which the Company may agree to sell
excess  machinery and equipment  going forward,  including  restrictions  on the
Company's  ability  to agree  to the  payment  of the  purchase  price  for such
equipment  over time and the minimum price at which such  equipment may be sold,
and (ii) acknowledge and consent to the Company's sale of certain  machinery and
equipment  no longer  needed to support  the  Company's  operations  for $2,100,
payable in six (6) equal monthly  installments of $315 each,  beginning  January
15, 2007, and a deposit of $210,  paid upon execution of the contract.  Pursuant
to the terms of the 2006  Revolving  Credit  Agreement,  Bank of  America,  N.A.
consented to the Amendment.

        As of  December  30,  2006,  there were  $33,720  of loans  outstanding,
including $9,480 of loans  outstanding under the 2006 Revolving Credit Agreement
and $24,240 of loans outstanding under the 2006 Term Loan. On December 30, 2006,
unused Availability was $3,756, net of the $4,250 Availability  Reserve, and the
Company had approximately $4,500 of letters of credit outstanding.

        The Company's  ability to meet its current  obligations is dependent on:
(i) its  access  to trade  credit,  (ii) its  operating  cash flow and (iii) its
Availability  under the 2006 Revolving Credit Agreement,  which is a function of
Eligible Accounts Receivable,  Eligible Inventory,  and the Availability Reserve
as those terms are defined in the 2006 Revolving Credit Agreement.  Availability
is typically lowest during the third quarter of each fiscal year principally due
to: (i) the seasonality of the Company's  business and (ii) the negative effects
of the  Company's  annual  two-week  July  shutdown  period  on sales  and cash.
Increases in the Availability Reserve reduce Availability and thus the Company's
ability  to  borrow.  In like  manner,  decreases  in the  Availability  Reserve
increase  Availability  and thus the  Company's  ability to borrow.  The Company
manages its  inventory  levels,  accounts  payable and capital  expenditures  to
provide adequate  resources to meet its operating needs,  maximize its cash flow
and  reduce  the need to  borrow  under  the 2006  Revolving  Credit  Agreement.
However,  its cash  position  may be  adversely  affected  by  factors it cannot
completely control,  including but not limited to, a reduction in incoming order
rates,  production rates, sales, and accounts  receivable,  as well as delays in
receipt of payment of accounts  receivable and limitations of trade credit.  The
Company is seeking to dispose of certain production  equipment and manufacturing
and warehousing  facilities no longer needed as a result of the consolidation of
some of its  facilities.  In addition,  management  adjusts the  Company's  cost
structure on a continuing basis to reflect changes in demand.

        The   Company   has   approximately   $4,600  of   federal   tax  credit
carryforwards,  of which  approximately  $2,300  expire  from 2014 to 2025.  The
remaining federal tax credit  carryforwards have no expiration date. The Company
also has approximately  $49,000 of net operating loss carryforwards which expire
in 2024 through 2026. The timing and use of the net operating loss carryforwards
and tax  credit  carryforwards  may be  limited  under  applicable  federal  tax
legislation.  In  addition,  the  Company  has  approximately  $7,400  of  state
investment tax credit  carryforwards,  of which approximately $5,100 expire from
2009 to 2015.  The  remaining  state  investment  tax credits have no expiration
date. The Company also has approximately  $500 of state research and development
tax credits  which expire in 2019 and 2020.  The timing and use of these credits
is limited under applicable state income tax legislation.

        The Company filed  amended tax returns  during the third quarter of 2003
with the Internal  Revenue  Service  claiming $1,378 of research and development
tax credits for the years 1993-2001.  In addition,  credits of $959 were claimed
on originally filed tax returns for 2002 and 2003.  During the fourth quarter of
2004,  the Company  reached an agreement  with the Internal  Revenue  Service on
certain  assessments  and  amended  returns  filed by the  Company for the years
1997-1999.  As a result of this  agreement,  in the fourth  quarter of 2004, the
Company recorded a tax benefit of $1,729 related to research and development tax
credits for the years prior to 2004, and $259 related to 2004.

        During the second quarter of 2005, the Company  settled tax  assessments
from the Massachusetts  Department of Revenue (MDOR) for the years 1993-1998. In
addition,  the Company settled refund claims from amended tax returns filed with
the MDOR claiming  approximately  $1,400 of research and development tax credits
for the years 1993-2001 and additional credits of $700 claimed on the originally
filed tax  returns for 2002 and 2003.  Settlement  of these  claims  allowed the
Company to record a tax benefit during the second quarter of 2005 of $1,800,  or
$1,167, net of applicable federal taxes.

        The significant items comprising the deferred tax asset/liability are as

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

        (a) LITIGATION. In the ordinary course of business, the Company is party
to various types of litigation. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses
to all claims and in its opinion, all litigation currently pending or threatened
will not have a material effect on the Company's financial position,  results of
operations or liquidity.

        (b)  ENVIRONMENTAL  CLEANUP  MATTERS.  The Company accrues for estimated
costs associated with known  environmental  matters when such costs are probable
and  can  be  reasonably  estimated.   The  actual  costs  to  be  incurred  for
environmental   remediation  may  vary  from   estimates,   given  the  inherent
uncertainties in evaluating and estimating environmental liabilities,  including
the possible

                                       51



effects of changes in laws and regulations, the stage of the remediation process
and  the  magnitude  of  contamination  found  as  the  remediation  progresses.
Environmental  due  diligence  reviews  conducted  by the  Company's  lenders in
connection  with  Quaker's  November  2006  refinancing  transaction  identified
certain regulatory compliance  obligations which the Company failed to meet in a
timely   fashion.   These  reviews  also   indicated  the  need  for  additional
environmental  site  assessment  work at  certain of the  Company's  facilities,
raising the  possibility  that the Company will be required to incur  additional
future remediation  expenses should further  environmental  conditions requiring
remediation be identified during this process.  The Company has accrued reserves
for  environmental  matters  based  on  information  presently  available,   and
management  believes  these  reserves to be  adequate.  Accordingly,  management
believes the ultimate disposition of known environmental matters will not have a
material  adverse  effect  on the  liquidity,  capital  resources,  business  or
consolidated  financial  position  of  the  Company,  however,  there  can be no
assurance that established  reserves will prove to be adequate or that the costs
associated with environmental matters will not increase in the future.

        (c) LEASES.  The Company leases certain  facilities and equipment  under
operating  and  capital  lease  agreements  expiring  at various  dates from the
current year to the year 2015. As of December 30, 2006,  the  aggregate  minimum
future commitments under leases are as follows:

        Rent expense for operating leases for the years ended December 30, 2006,
December  31,  2005  and  January  1,  2005  was  $4,142,  $5,456,  and  $4,466,
respectively.

        (d) LETTERS OF CREDIT. In the normal course of its business  activities,
the Company is required  under  certain  contracts to provide  letters of credit
which may be drawn  down in the event the  Company  fails to  perform  under the
contracts.  As of December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 the Company had issued
or agreed to issue letters of credit totaling $4,503 and $4,591, respectively.

        (e) EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT AND CHANGE-IN-CONTROL AGREEMENTS. In March 2004,
the  Company's  Board of Directors  amended and restated the President and Chief
Executive  Officer's  Employment  Agreement (the  "Employment  Agreement").  The
Employment Agreement provides for Mr. Liebenow to continue to serve as President
and Chief  Executive  Officer of the Company on a full-time  basis through March
12, 2008, subject to an automatic three-year extension, unless terminated by the
Company upon one year's  prior  notice and  provides for certain  payments to be
made  to  Mr.  Liebenow  following  certain   termination  events  occurring  in
connection  with a change  in  control.  The  Employment  Agreement  as  amended
effective October 4, 2004,  provides for a base salary of $645,  subject to such
annual  increases as may be  determined  by the Board of  Directors,  as well as
certain benefits and reimbursement of expenses.

        If the Employment Agreement is terminated as the result of a termination
without  cause,  Mr.  Liebenow  would be  entitled to receive  $1,935,  plus the
continuation of certain benefits. If the Employment Agreement is terminated as a
result of a voluntary  resignation,  Mr.  Liebenow  would be entitled to receive
$1,935,  plus the  continuation of certain  benefits,  provided he agrees not to
engage in  competition  with the Company for a three year period  following  his
termination  date. If the Employment  Agreement is terminated as the result of a
termination   for  cause,   Mr.  Liebenow  would  be  entitled  to  receive  the
continuation of certain benefits,  plus payment of accrued,  but unpaid,  salary
and benefits as of his termination date.

        During 1999, the Company also entered into change-in-control  agreements
with the Company's other corporate  officers.  These agreements  provide certain
benefits to the Company's other officers in the event their  employment with the
Company is terminated as a result of a change-in-control as defined. The maximum
contingent   liability   related   to  the   change-in-control   agreements   is
approximately  $2,200,  exclusive of any amount due Mr. Liebenow pursuant to the
terms of the Employment Agreement.

10. STOCK OPTIONS

        The Company has several  stock option plans (the "Plans") in effect that
provide for the granting of non-qualified  stock options and other  equity-based
incentives to directors,  officers, and employees of the Company.  Options under
the Plans are granted at fair  market  value and  vesting is  determined  by the
Board of Directors.

                        ===========  ========  =========  ===========  ========

        At its  regular  meeting  in  December  2001,  the  Company's  Board  of
Directors  granted  options to  purchase  160,000  shares of common  stock at an
exercise price of $8.30 per share to certain  individuals subject to shareholder
approval  of an  increase  of 750 shares in the number of shares  available  for
grant under the Plans. At the May 16, 2002 Annual Meeting,  shareholder approval
was received.  Accordingly, the Company recorded an unearned compensation charge
equal to the  difference  between the  exercise  price and the fair value on the
date of shareholder approval of $1,032.  During 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company
recognized  $0,  $488  and  $207  of  amortization  of  unearned   compensation,
respectively.

        On December 12, 2003,  pursuant to the terms of the Company's 1997 Stock
Option Plan,  the  Company's  Board of Directors  granted to Mr.  Liebenow,  the
Company's  President and CEO,  options  covering  90,000 shares of common stock,
10,000  shares of which were subject to  shareholder  approval at the  Company's
2004 Annual Meeting of  Shareholders,  which approval was received.  This option
grant is  exercisable  for a period of ten years  from the  grant  date,  has an
exercise price of $9.12 per share, the fair market value of the Company's common
stock on December  12,  2003,  and  originally  vested over a five year  period.
Pursuant to a decision  made on  December  16,  2005 by the  Company's  Board of
Directors, this option grant is now fully vested.

        At the May 21, 2004 Annual Shareholder meeting, the 2004 Stock Incentive
Compensation  Plan was  approved.  A maximum of  1,500,000  shares may be issued
under this  plan.  Awards  under this plan may be in the form of stock  options,
stock appreciation rights,  restricted stock or other stock-based  compensation,
as determined  by the  Compensation  and Stock Option  Committee of the Board of
Directors.

        On December 16, 2005, the Board of Directors  approved the  acceleration
of vesting of all outstanding  unvested stock options  previously awarded to its
employees   (including  its  executive  officers)  under  the  Company's  equity
compensation plans. The acceleration of vesting became effective on December 16,
2005 for stock options  outstanding  as of such date. On such date,  the

                                       53



closing   market   price  was  $2.60.   Options  to  purchase  an  aggregate  of
approximately  565,000  shares of common stock (of which  options to purchase an
aggregate of 393,000  shares of common  stock are held by executive  officers of
the Company) were  accelerated on December 16, 2005. The exercise  prices of the
options  range  from  $7.04  to  $9.12.  Under  the  recently  issued  Financial
Accounting  Standards  Board  Statement No. 123R,  "Share-Based  Payment" ("SFAS
123R"),  the Company was  required to apply the expense  recognition  provisions
under SFAS 123R  beginning  January 2, 2006.  The  decision  to  accelerate  the
vesting of these stock options,  all of which are at exercise prices higher than
current market price,  was made because (i) there is no perceived value in these
options to the  employees  involved,  and (ii) there are no  employee  retention
ramifications.

        ACCOUNTING FOR  STOCK-BASED  COMPENSATION.  Prior to January 1, 2006 the
Company  accounted  for its stock  option plans under APB 25 as well as provided
disclosure  of  stock-based  compensation  as outlined in  Financial  Accounting
Standards  Board Statement No. 123,  "Accounting for Stock-Based  Compensation,"
("SFAS  123") as amended  by  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  Statement
No.148,  "Accounting for Stock-Based  Compensation  Transition and  Disclosure,"
("SFAS  148").  SFAS 123 required  disclosure  of pro forma net income,  EPS and
other  information  as if the fair value method of accounting  for stock options
and other equity instruments described in SFAS 123 had been adopted. The Company
adopted  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board Statement No. 123R "Share Based
Payment" ("SFAS 123R") effective January 1, 2006 using the modified  prospective
method.  No unvested stock options were  outstanding as of December 31, 2005. No
stock options were granted and no modifications to outstanding options were made
during the year ended December 30, 2006.

        Had compensation  cost for awards granted in Fiscal 2005 and Fiscal 2004
under the Company's stock-based  compensation plans been determined based on the
fair value at the grant dates  consistent  with the method set forth in SFAS No.
123, the effect on the  Company's  net loss and loss per common share would have
been as follows:

        Pro forma compensation expense for options is reflected over the vesting
period;  therefore,  future  pro forma  compensation  expense  may be greater as
additional options are granted.

        The  Black-Scholes  option-pricing  model is used to  estimate  the fair
value on the date of grant of each option  granted after  December 15, 1994. The
assumptions  used for stock option  grants and  employee  stock  purchase  right
grants were as follows:

                                                 FISCAL YEAR ENDED

        Expected life of options ...      N/A            N/A         7 years
        Expected dividends .........      N/A            N/A             1.2%

        The  Black-Scholes  option  pricing  model  was  developed  for  use  in
estimating the fair value of traded  options with no vesting or  transferability
restrictions.  In addition,  option  pricing  models require the input of highly
subjective assumptions,  including expected stock price volatility.  Because the
Company's stock options have characteristics  significantly different from those
of traded options and because changes in the subjective  input  assumptions used
can materially  affect the fair value  estimate,  in management's  opinion,  the
existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair
value of its stock options.

11. SEGMENT REPORTING

        The Company  operates as a single  business  consisting  of sales of two
products:  upholstery  fabric and  specialty  yarns.  Management  evaluates  the
Company's  financial  performance  in the  aggregate and allocates the Company's
resources without distinguishing between yarn and fabric products.

12. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
(reflects actual dollar amounts)

        The  Company  has  established  a 401(k)  plan (the  "401(k)  Plan") for
eligible  employees of the Company who may contribute up to 100% of their annual
salaries (up to $15,000 for 2006) to the 401(k) Plan. All contributions  made by
an employee are fully vested and are not subject to  forfeiture.  During  Fiscal
2005 and Fiscal 2004, the Company  contributed  on behalf of each  participating
employee an amount equal to 100% of the first $200  contributed by each employee
and 25% of the next $800  contributed  by such  employee,  for a maximum  annual
Company  contribution  of $400 per employee.  During  Fiscal 2005,  the Plan was
amended to eliminate the mandatory  employer match provision in the 401(k) Plan,
effective  December  31,  2005.  The  Company's  matching  contribution  was $0,
$389,000,  and  $517,000,  in Fiscal  2006,  2005,  and 2004,  respectively.  An
employee is fully  vested in the  contributions  made by the Company upon his or
her completion of five years of participation in the 401 (k) Plan.


13. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

        The Company  maintains a deferred  compensation  plan for certain senior
executives of the Company.  Benefits  payable upon  retirement are grossed up by
the  Company's  marginal  tax rate.  During  2005,  the  Company  reduced  Other
Long-term  Liabilities  and Selling,  General,  and  Administrative  expenses by
approximately  $790,  primarily  due to the Company's  executives  contractually
waiving their rights to have their benefits grossed up by the marginal tax rate.

15. ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS

        Certain  provisions  of Delaware law and the  Company's  Certificate  of
Incorporation  could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control
of the  Company,  even  if  such  change  in  control  would  be  beneficial  to
stockholders.  Also, Quaker's Certificate of Incorporation allows the Company to
issue preferred stock without  stockholder  approval.  Such issuances could also
make it more difficult for a third party to acquire the Company.

        In addition,  under the terms of the 2006 Loan  Agreements,  a Change in
Control would constitute an Event of Default,  as those terms are defined in the
2006 Loan Agreements.  And finally,  the Company is a party to change in control
agreements  with each of Quaker's  officers.  In the event of a  Termination  of
Employment in connection with a Change in Control, as those terms are defined in
the  agreements,  the  Company  would be  obligated  to make  certain  payments,
expressed as a percentage of cash  compensation,  to the  terminated  officer or
officers.  These  provisions  may have the  effect  of  delaying,  deferring  or
dissuading a potential  acquirer  from  acquiring  outstanding  shares of Common
Stock at a price that represents a premium to the then current trading price.

             REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS OF QUAKER FABRIC CORPORATION:

        In our opinion,  the  consolidated  financial  statements  listed in the
index appearing under item 15(a) (i) present fairly,  in all material  respects,
the financial  position of Quaker Fabric  Corporation  and its  subsidiaries  at
December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, and the results of their operations and
their cash flows for each of the three years in the period  ended  December  30,
2006 in conformity with accounting  principles  generally accepted in the United
States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule
listed in the index  appearing  under Item  15(a)(ii)  presents  fairly,  in all
material  respects,  the  information set forth therein when read in conjunction
with the related consolidated  financial statements.  These financial statements
and  financial  statement  schedule  are  the  responsibility  of the  Company's
management.  Our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements and financial  statement  schedule based on our audits.  We conducted
our audits of these  statements in  accordance  with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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,   assessing  the  accounting  principles  used  and
significant  estimates made by management,  and evaluating the overall financial
statement  presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable  basis
for our opinion.

ITEM 9. CHANGES  IN  AND  DISAGREEMENTS   WITH  ACCOUNTANTS  ON  ACCOUNTING  AND
        FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

        None

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

        Our management,  with the participation of our Chief Executive  Officer,
or CEO, and Chief Financial Officer,  or CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our
disclosure  controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
under the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act), as of December
30,  2006.  Based on this  evaluation,  our CEO and CFO  concluded  that,  as of
December 30, 2006, our disclosure  controls and procedures  were (1) designed to
ensure that material  information  relating to us,  including  our  consolidated
subsidiaries,  is made known to our CEO and CFO by others within those entities,
particularly  during the period in which this report was being  prepared and (2)
effective,  in that they provide reasonable  assurance that information required
to be  disclosed  by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange
Act is recorded,  processed,  summarized  and  reported  within the time periods
specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING.

        Implementation of the Company's  restructuring plan, particularly during
the fourth  quarter of 2006,  has resulted in staffing  reductions  in virtually
every functional area of the Company,  including those areas responsible for key
controls  integral to the  operation of the  Company's  internal  controls  over
financial reporting, such as our finance and accounting,  information technology
("IT"),  and purchasing  areas.  In some cases, a single  individual has assumed
responsibility  for  work  previously  handled  by one or  more  former  Company
employees,  resulting  in decrease  in our  ability to provide  for  appropriate
segregation of duties and in some areas, employees with less experience handling
duties  previously  handled by more  experienced  staff  members.  Also,  due to
constraints  in our IT  department,  systems  needed to  support  the  Company's
relatively  new offshore  sourcing  initiatives  have not been fully  developed,
requiring the use of alternate manual procedures, which by their nature increase
the risk of human error.  And, due to recent  increases in the complexity of the
payment terms and practices  affecting our vendor and cash management  programs,
manual  procedures are also being used more  frequently by our accounts  payable
staff.  Mitigating  these changes is the fact that all corporate  administrative
functions are  centralized in a single  location and  management  oversight with
respect  to each  functional  area is very  strong,  with  most  key  management
personnel  bringing both  significant  professional  experience and  significant
years of service at the  Company to the task.  While  management  believes  that
these  recent  changes  in  our  internal   control  over  financial   reporting
environment  have not materially  affected the quality of our internal  controls
over  financial  reporting,  there can be no  assurance  that we will be able to
conclude in the future that we have effective  internal  controls over financial
reporting in  accordance  with Section 404 of the  Sarbanes-Oxley  Act. No other
changes in our internal  control over financial  reporting  occurred  during the
fiscal  quarter  ended  December 30, 2006 that has  materially  effected,  or is
reasonably  likely  to  materially  affect  our  internal  control  system  over
financial reporting.
