               NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.   The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been
     prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
     applicable to interim financial information and the rules and regulations
     of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Accordingly, they do not
     include all of the information and disclosures required by generally
     accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the
     opinion of management, such interim consolidated financial statements
     contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company's
     financial position as of June 30, 1996 and the results of its operations
     and its cash flows for the periods ended June 30, 1996 and July 2, 1995.
     Such adjustments include normal recurring accruals and a pro rata portion
     of certain estimated annual expenses.

2.   The computation of net earnings per share for the periods ended June 30,
     1996 and July 2, 1995 is based on simple average shares outstanding.
     Stock options outstanding did not have a material dilutive effect during
     either period.

3.   Major classes of inventory were as follows (in thousands):

4.   Operating results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
     results to be expected for the year.

5.   Certain reclassifications have been made to the July 2, 1995 financial
     statements to conform to the June 30, 1996 presentation.

                      CROWN CRAFTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 2,
1995

Consolidated net sales increased $5.6 million or 13.2% to $44.4 million in the
current year quarter.  The increase was attributable to incremental net sales
of $9.8 million from businesses acquired by the Company subsequent to the end
of the comparable prior year quarter, offset by declines in net sales of
comforters, comforter accessories and throws.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales declined to 15.6% for the quarter
ended June 30, 1996 from 19.3% for the quarter ended July 2, 1995, primarily
due to underutilization of production capacity at the Company's primary
manufacturing facilities.  This underutilization resulted from particularly
weak demand for comforters, comforter accessories and throws during the first
quarter, which is also normally the slowest period of the fiscal year for sales
of these product categories.  Capacity utilization has improved with the start
of the second quarter.

Marketing and administrative expenses increased $1.7 million or 25.5% to $8.2
million in the current year quarter.  The incremental marketing and
administrative expenses of the businesses acquired subsequent to the end of the
comparable prior year quarter, accounted for $1.5 million of the increase.

Interest costs incurred increased to $1.3 million in the current year quarter
from $0.6 million (including capitalized interest of $114,000) in the prior
year quarter.  This increase was due to higher levels of debt outstanding.  The
higher debt levels are attributable to fiscal 1996 capital expenditures of
$23.7 million, acquisitions of $20.5 million and purchases of treasury stock of
$7.5 million.

The effective income tax rate increased to 43.3% for the three month period
ended June 30, 1996 from 37.4% for the three month period ended July 2, 1995.
This increase is attributable to an increase of $91,000 in financial statement
expenses for nondeductible amortization of goodwill and higher state and local
income tax rates applicable to acquired companies.

FINANCIAL POSITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company maintains uncommitted lines of credit totaling $40 million with two
banks at floating interest rates.  Total borrowings outstanding under these
lines at June 30, 1996 were $16.8 million.  The Company also has unsecured
committed revolving credit agreements totaling $30 million with two banks at
interest rates based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR).  There were
no outstanding borrowings under these agreements at June 30, 1996.

Total debt outstanding decreased to $69.7 million at June 30, 1996 from $75.6
million at March 31, 1996.  The ratio of debt to equity was 0.86:1 at June 30,
1996 compared to 0.91:1 at March 31, 1996.  The decrease in total debt was
attributable to a reduction of $14.6 million in accounts receivable partially
offset by additional borrowings to fund an increase in inventories.  Despite
the 


                                     -7-

reduction in total debt outstanding, working capital decreased to $48.1
million at June 30, 1996 from $67.9 million at March 31, 1996, primarily as the
result of an increase of $15.6 million in notes payable.  To take advantage of
lower interest rates, the Company increased the amount borrowed on its
uncommitted lines which are classified as short-term notes payable to repay
amounts outstanding on its committed revolving credit facilities which are
classified as long-term debt.

Total inventories increased $8.9 million to $56.2 million at June 30, 1996 from
$47.3 million at March 31, 1996.  This inventory build up is a seasonal pattern
to bring stock to adequate levels to meet the heavier shipping demands in the
second and third quarters of the fiscal year.

OTHER MATTERS

In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
Of.  SFAS No. 121 addresses issues surrounding the measurement and recognition
of losses when the value of certain assets has been deemed to be permanently
impaired.  This Statement was effective for the Company beginning April 1, 1996
and had no impact on the Company's financial position as of June 30, 1996, or
results of operations for the three month period then ended.

In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, which was effective for the Company beginning April 1, 1996.
SFAS No. 123 establishes a method of accounting for stock compensation plans
based on fair value, but also permits companies to continue to account for
stock options under the intrinsic value method established by Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.  The
Company will continue to account for stock-based compensation following the
intrinsic value method.  SFAS No. 123 requires disclosure in the notes to
financial statements of pro forma net income and earnings per share as if the
alternative method established in SFAS No. 123 had been used to measure
compensation cost.  The Company will disclose the required pro forma
information in the notes to its financial statements for the year ended March
30, 1997.
