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 29, 1997 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
the periods ended June 29, 1997 and June 30, 1996. Such adjustments include
normal recurring accruals and a pro rata portion of certain estimated
annual expenses.
2. On March 31, 1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of
Hamco, Inc., a manufacturer and marketer of infant soft goods, for a total
purchase price of $7.5 million. This acquisition has been accounted for
using the purchase method of accounting based on the estimated fair value
of assets acquired and liabilities assumed resulting in the recording of
approximately $4.7 million in goodwill. Operating results of Hamco, Inc.
from the date of acquisition are included in the accompanying Consolidated
Statement of Earnings for the period ending June 29, 1997.
3. The computation of net loss per share for the periods ended June 29, 1997
and June 30, 1996 was computed using the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding.
4. Major classes of inventory were as follows (in thousands):

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 29, 1997 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
1996
On March 31, 1997 the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Hamco,
Inc. ("Hamco"), a manufacturer and marketer of infant soft goods. The impact of
the Hamco acquisition on the Company's consolidated results of operations for
the quarter ended June 29, 1997 included net sales of $2.3 million and earnings
before income taxes of $0.2 million.
Excluding Hamco, consolidated net sales increased $5.9 million or 13.3% in the
current year quarter. The increase was attributable to increased net sales of
adult bedcoverings and infant/juvenile products partially offset by a decline in
net sales of adult throws.
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 20.1% for the quarter
ended June 29, 1997 from 15.6% for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 primarily due
to increased sales of higher margin products.
Excluding Hamco, marketing and administrative expenses increased $1.0 million or
12.2% in the current year quarter. The increase is primarily due to increased
employee costs, professional fees, bad debt expenses and promotional costs.
The effective income tax rate decreased to 37.6% for the quarter ended June 29,
1997 from 43.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 1996. The decrease was due to
lower effective state income tax rates as a result of various state tax credits
earned.
FINANCIAL POSITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company maintains unsecured committed revolving credit facilities totaling
$30 million with two commercial banks at interest rates based on the London
Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). At June 29, 1997, borrowings of $29.0 million
were outstanding under these facilities at a weighted average interest rate of
6.1 percent. The Company pays facility fees on the unused portions of these
committed credit lines. The Company also maintains uncommitted lines of credit
totaling $40 million with two commercial banks at floating interest rates. At
June 29, 1997, borrowings of $1.2 million were outstanding under these lines.
Among other covenants, these bank facilities contain a requirement that the
Company maintain minimum levels of shareholders' equity, one effect of which is
to restrict the payment of cash dividends. At June 29, 1997, retained earnings
of approximately $9.0 million were available for dividend payments. Other
covenants place restrictions on the amounts the Company may expend on
acquisitions and purchases of treasury stock.

On March 31, 1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Hamco,
Inc., a manufacturer and marketer of infant soft goods, for a total purchase
price of $7.5 million. This acquisition is consistent with the Company's
strategy of growing infant and juvenile products to about one-third of its total
business. The acquisition was financed by borrowings under the Company's
revolving credit facilities. The Company continues to review appropriate
acquisition opportunities as a significant part of its growth strategy. Although
the Company cannot predict when, or if, further acquisitions will occur, the
Company's various credit facilities or other forms of debt will likely continue
to provide the funds necessary to finance its growth by this method.
Working capital increased to $81.0 million at June 29, 1997 from $77.8 million
at March 30, 1997. Total debt outstanding increased to $80.5 million at June 29,
1997 from $71.3 million at March 30, 1997. The ratio of debt to equity was
0.94:1 at June 29, 1997 compared to 0.83:1 at March 30, 1997. The increase in
this ratio was primarily attributable to the increase in debt resulting from the
acquisition of Hamco, Inc. and growth in inventories partially offset by a
decrease in accounts receivable and an increase in accounts payable.
Total inventories increased to $74.8 million at June 29, 1997 from $56.8 million
at March 30, 1997. The Hamco acquisition accounted for $1.7 million of the
increase. The remainder of the increase is a seasonal pattern to build
inventories to meet heavier shipping demands in the second and third quarters of
the fiscal year. The increase in the current year first quarter is larger than
in prior years due to increased demand for some of the Company's imported
products which have a longer lead time for delivery than domestically produced
products.
OTHER MATTERS
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share which changes the
method of reporting earnings per share by requiring a computation of basic and
diluted earnings per share. This statement will become effective for the
Company's fiscal 1998 third quarter. The computations required by this Statement
would have had no impact on the loss per share reported for the quarters ended
June 29, 1997 and June 30, 1996.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1 - Legal Proceedings
In order to resolve certain disputes which have arisen between
them, the Company and its Israeli supplier of Royal Sateen(R) fabric
and products, Kitan Consolidated Ltd. ("Kitan"), have entered into
binding arbitration before a three-person panel in Israel. In
connection with the arbitration, the Company and Kitan exchanged
claims documents on June 9 and 10, 1997. The Company's claims include
a request for payment of $9.9 million in damages stemming primarily
from Kitan's failure to make timely deliveries over a three-year
period. Kitan's claims include a request for payment of $8.5 million
for damages allegedly suffered primarily as a result of differences
between the Company's forecasts of demand and its actual orders for
Kitan's fabric and products. Each party's claims also request
reimbursement of attorneys' fees and payment of interest from the
respective date on which its claim was filed. The Company believes
Kitan's claims are without merit, and the Company intends to
vigorously pursue its claims and its defenses. Normal commerce between
the companies is continuing during the arbitration process.
