September 30, 1999
Note A. Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the nine month period ended September 30,
1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ended December 31, 1999.
The balance sheet at December 31, 1998 has been derived from the audited
financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Registrant Company and Subsidiaries' annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.

$259,450 $265,000
On March 23, 1999 the Company exchanged all of its outstanding 10% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2008 for an equal amount of its Series B 10% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2008.
On October 20, 1999, the Company amended its existing Senior Credit Facility.
The amendment revises covenant ratios, establishes a minimum EBITDA test,
determines the availability of the revolving loan based on a leverage ratio
test, subjects the Code Hennessy and Simmons management fee to a leverage ratio
test, and increases interest rate margins. The amendment was necessary because
the Company was not able to meet certain covenants under its Senior Credit
Facility.
Note D. Segment Information

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Results of Operations
Net sales of the Company were $43.1 million for the third quarter of 1999
and $131.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, representing an
increase of 5.6% and a decrease of 1.7%, respectively, over the corresponding
periods of 1998. The increase in the third quarter from the corresponding
periods of 1998, is directly related to the increase in sales volume of fine
denier spandex that were partially offset by marginal decreases in sales volumes
of heavy denier spandex and latex fiber. The slight decrease for the nine month
period compared to the corresponding period of 1998 is attributed to decreases
in selling prices of fine denier spandex and latex fibers.
Gross margin for the third quarter was $15.0 million and $43.0 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1999, representing decreases of 4.5% and
11.5%, respectively, over the corresponding periods of 1998. The Company's gross
margin as a percentage of net sales was 34.8% for the third quarter and 32.8%
for the nine month period, compared to 38.4% and 36.5%, respectively, for the
corresponding periods in 1998. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to
a decrease in pricing on fine denier spandex.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $6.3 million for the
third quarter of 1999, and $18.0 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1999, representing decreases of 13.7% and 6.6%, respectively, over the
corresponding periods of 1998. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general
and administrative expenses were 14.5% for the third quarter and 13.7% for the
nine month period, compared to 17.8% and 14.4%, respectively, for the
corresponding periods in 1998.
Research and development expenses were $0.8 million for the third quarter
of 1999, and $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30,1999, compared
to $1.0 million and $3.1 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods in
1998. Research and development expenses for the Company as a percentage of net
sales were 1.9% for the third quarter and 2.4% for the nine month period,
compared to 2.5% and 2.3% for the corresponding periods in 1998.
Net interest expense was $7.2 million for the third quarter and $21.2
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared to $4.4 million
and $6.1 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 1998. The
increase in interest expense was directly attributable to the recapitalization
of the Company.
-6-
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash used by operating activities was $9.9 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 as compared to cash provided by operating activities of
$19.6 million for the comparable prior year period. The reduction in cash
provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 1999
was due to increases in interest expense, accounts receivable, inventories,
prepaid taxes, and a decrease in accrued expenses. This reduction was partially
offset by an increase in accounts payable, accretion on discounted notes, and
depreciation and amortization.
The average days sales outstanding for accounts receivable was
approximately 72 days for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to
56 days for the comparable prior year period. The increase in days sales
outstanding is due to increases in export sales, and export sales made with
extended terms. Export sales represented 34.3% and 31.6% of total sales for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Inventory balances
increased $1.0 million from December 31, 1998, primarily due to an increase in
unit sales volume of fine denier spandex compared to the fourth quarter of 1998,
raising the level and value of inventory on hand. The note payable increased
$18.3 million primarily due to interest payments due on the senior subordinated
notes and working capital needs.
Capital expenditure, including capital leases, were $9.1 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to $26.3 million the comparable
prior year period. Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30,
1998 consisted primarily of expenditures for the expansion of the Tuscaloosa
facility.
As part of the recapitalization transaction, the Company entered into a
Senior Credit Facility consisting of a $115.0 million term loan facility, which
was fully drawn upon the consummation of the transaction and a $50.0 million
revolving loan facility. The revolving loan facility is available for general
corporate and working capital purposes.
On October 20, 1999, the Company amended its existing Senior Credit
Facility. The amendment revises covenant ratios, establishes a minimum EBITDA
test, determines the availability of the revolving loan based on a leverage
ratio test, subjects the Code Hennessy and Simmons management fee to a leverage
ratio test, and increases interest rate margins. The amendment was necessary
because the Company was not able to meet certain covenants under its Senior
Credit Facility.
Impact of the Year 2000 Issue
The year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using
two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the Company's
computer programs that have date-sensitive software may recognize a date using
"00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000.
If the Company, its significant customers or suppliers fail to make
necessary modifications and conversions on a timely basis, the year 2000 issue
could have a material adverse effect on Company operations. However, the impact
cannot be quantified at this time. The Company believes that its competitors
face similar risks.
The Company has established a corporate-wide project team to identify non-
compliant software and complete the corrections required for the year 2000
issue. The Company has successfully repaired existing manufacturing and the
majority of the ancillary systems in all locations. The Company has also
successfully implemented a new software system that is compliant with year 2000.
The new system encompasses the Company's financial, inventory costing, and
distribution systems. The Company also has made inquiry of its major customers
and suppliers to assess their compliance. There can be no assurance that there
will not be a material adverse effect on the Company if third party governmental
or business entities do not convert or replace their systems in a timely manner
and in a way that is compatible with the Company's systems.
Costs related to the year 2000 issue are funded through operating cash
flows. Through September 30, 1999, the Company expended approximately $350,000
in systems development and remediation efforts, and modifying the applicable
code of existing software. The Company
-7-
estimates remaining costs to be immaterial. The Company presently believes that
the total cost of achieving year 2000 compliant systems will not be material to
the Company's financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.
Time and cost estimates are based on currently available information.
Developments that could affect estimates include, but are not limited to, the
availability and cost of trained personnel, the ability to locate and correct
all relevant computer code and systems and remediation success of the Company's
customers and suppliers.
Forward-Looking Information
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking
statements, including, without limitation, statements concerning the Company's
future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected costs and plans
and objectives of management for future operations. These forward-looking
statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (which do not apply to initial public
offerings). Forward- looking statements generally can be identified by the use
of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "intend,"
"estimate," "anticipate," "believe," "should," "plans," or "continue" or the
negative thereof or variations thereon or similar terminology. Although the
Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking
statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will
prove to have been correct. These forward-looking statements are subject to a
number of risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, those related
to the Company's substantial leverage and debt service requirements, the
Company's dependence on significant customers and on certain suppliers, the
effects of competition on the Company, the risks related to environmental,
health and safety laws and regulations, the Company's exposure to foreign sales
risk and the cyclicality of the textile industry, risks related to the year 2000
issue, and the other factors discussed in the Company's filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Actual results could differ materially from
these forward-looking statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
The Company's market risk disclosure set forth in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K has not changed significantly through the nine months ended
September 30, 1999.
Part II Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In April 1997 two domestic purchasers of extruded latex thread filed a
complaint against a number of foreign manufacturers and distributors of such
thread, including an Indonesian limited liability company in which Globe
Holdings then owned a 40% interest (the "Joint Venture"). The complaint alleged
an international conspiracy to restrain trade in, and fix prices of, the thread
in the U.S. The Company was not named as a defendant in the case. The Joint
Venture alleged in its motion to dismiss that not all parties to the conspiracy
had been joined. There can be no assurance that the Company will not be named in
the future. The Company is entitled to indemnification from, among other items,
any liabilities arising out of any criminal or civil antitrust claims or
investigations resulting from the above-described proceedings to the
-8-
extent related to the Company's activities prior to the recapitalization
transaction in 1998. This indemnity expires on December 31, 2001.
The U.S. Department of Commerce has imposed anti-dumping duties on
Indonesian extruded latex producers. Additional duties of 28.29% have been
levied on extruded latex thread imported from Indonesia from May 1999 going
forward.
From time to time, the Company has been and is involved in various legal
proceedings, all of which management believes are routine in nature and
generally incidental to the conduct of its business. The ultimate legal and
financial liability of the Company with respect to such proceedings cannot be
estimated with certainty, but the Company believes, based on its examination of
such matters, that none of such proceedings, if determined adversely to the
Company, would have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of
operations, financial condition and its ability to meet its obligations under
the Company's existing debt.
