NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Tables in thousands)
(unaudited)
(1) General
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Pillowtex
Corporation, which is referred to in this report as "Parent," and its
subsidiaries, which are collectively with Parent, referred to in this report as
the "Company," include all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring
adjustments and accruals, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for
fair presentation of the results of operations and financial position. Results
of operations for interim periods may not be indicative of future results. The
unaudited consolidated financial statement should be read in conjunction with
the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's annual
report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for
the fiscal year ended December 30, 2000.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the July 1, 2000 and December 30,
2000, inventory categories in note 3 in order to conform with presentation used
in 2001.
PROCEEDINGS UNDER CHAPTER 11 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE
On November 14, 2000 (the "Petition Date"), Parent and substantially all of its
domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the "Debtors"), including Fieldcrest
Cannon, Inc. ("Fieldcrest Cannon"), filed voluntary petitions for reorganization
under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in
the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy
Court"). The chapter 11 cases pending for the Debtors (the "Chapter 11 Cases")
are being jointly administered for procedural purposes.
The Debtors are currently operating their businesses as debtors-in-possession
pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code. Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, prepetition
obligations of the Debtors, including obligations under debt instruments,
generally may not be enforced against the Debtors, and any actions to collect
prepetition indebtedness are automatically stayed, unless the stay is lifted by
the Bankruptcy Court. In addition, as debtors-in-possession, the Debtors have
the right, subject to Bankruptcy Court approval and certain other limitations,
to assume or reject executory contracts and unexpired leases. In this context,
"assumption" means that the Debtors agree to perform their obligations and cure
all existing defaults under the contract or lease, and "rejection" means that
the Debtors are relieved from their obligations to perform further under the
contract or lease, but are subject to a claim for damages for the breach
thereof. Any damages resulting from rejection of executory contracts and
unexpired leases will be treated as general unsecured claims in the Chapter 11
Cases unless such claims had been secured on a prepetition basis prior to the
Petition Date. The Debtors are in the process of reviewing their executory
contracts and unexpired leases and have received approval from the Bankruptcy
Court to reject certain contracts and leases. The Debtors cannot presently
determine the ultimate liability for all contracts and leases that will be
approved by the Bankruptcy Court for rejection. The estimated prepetition
liability for those contracts and leases the Bankruptcy Court has already
approved for rejection is approximately $8.9 million, which was accrued in the
second quarter of 2001 as a reorganization item. The Company may be required to
accrue additional liabilities as more contracts and leases are approved for
rejection by the Bankruptcy Court.
The United States trustee for the District of Delaware has appointed an Official
Committee of Unsecured Creditors in accordance with the provisions of the
Bankruptcy Code.
The Bankruptcy Code provides that the Debtors have exclusive periods during
which only they may file and solicit acceptances of a plan of reorganization.
The exclusive period for the Debtors to file a plan of reorganization originally
would have expired on March 14, 2001, but was extended by the Bankruptcy Court
until July 16, 2001. The Debtors have requested and received from the
Bankruptcy Court another extension of the exclusive periods to file a plan of
reorganization and solicit acceptances thereof through November 16, 2001 and
January 15, 2002, respectively. Unless such periods are again extended by the
Bankruptcy Court, if the Debtors fail to file a plan of reorganization by
November 16, 2001 or, after such plan has been filed, if the Debtors fail to
obtain acceptance of such plan from the requisite impaired classes of creditors
by January 15, 2002, any party in interest, including a creditor, an equity
holder, a committee of creditors or equity holders, or an indenture trustee, may
file their own plan of reorganization for the Debtors.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
(Tables in thousands)
(unaudited)
After a plan of reorganization has been filed with the Bankruptcy Court, the
plan, along with a disclosure statement approved by the Bankruptcy Court, will
be sent to all creditors and equity holders. Following the solicitation period,
the Bankruptcy Court will consider whether to confirm the plan. In order to
confirm a plan of reorganization, the Bankruptcy Court, among other things, is
required to find that (i) with respect to each impaired class of creditors and
equity holders, each holder in such class has accepted the plan or will,
pursuant to the plan, receive at least as much as such holder would receive in a
liquidation, (ii) each impaired class of creditors and equity holders has
accepted the plan by the requisite vote (except as described in the following
sentence), and (iii) confirmation of the plan is not likely to be followed by a
liquidation or a need for further financial reorganization of the Debtors or any
successors to the Debtors unless the plan proposes such liquidation or
reorganization. If any impaired class of creditors or equity holders does not
accept the plan and, assuming that all of the other requirements of the
Bankruptcy Code are met, the proponent of the plan may invoke the "cram down"
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. Under these provisions, the Bankruptcy Court
may confirm a plan notwithstanding the non-acceptance of the plan by an impaired
class of creditors or equity holders if certain requirements of the Bankruptcy
Code are met. These requirements may, among other things, necessitate payment
in full for senior classes of creditors before payment to a junior class can be
made. As a result of the amount of prepetition indebtedness and the
availability of the "cram down" provisions, the holders of the Company's capital
stock may receive no value for their interests under the plan of reorganization.
Because of such possibility, the value of the Company's outstanding capital
stock is highly speculative.
Since the Petition Date, the Debtors have conducted business in the ordinary
course. Management is in the process of developing a plan of reorganization and
will seek the acceptance of the plan by impaired creditors and equity holders
and confirmation of the plan by the Bankruptcy Court, all in accordance with the
applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.
During the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors may, with Bankruptcy
Court approval, sell assets and settle liabilities, including for amounts other
than those reflected in the financial statements. The Debtors are continuing to
review their operations and identify assets for disposition. On July 27, 2001,
the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell most of the inventory
and fixed assets associated with its Blanket Division (see note 13).
The administrative and reorganization expenses resulting from the Chapter 11
Cases will unfavorably affect the Debtors' results of operations. Future
results of operations may also be adversely affected by other factors related to
the Chapter 11 Cases. Additionally, the amounts reported on the consolidated
balance sheet could materially change because of changes in business strategies
and the effects of any proposed plan of reorganization.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance
with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position
90-7, "Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy
Code" (SOP 90-7) assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.
The Company is currently operating under the jurisdiction of Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Court, and continuation of the Company as a
going concern is contingent upon, among other things, its ability to formulate a
plan of reorganization which will gain approval of the requisite parties under
the Bankruptcy Code and confirmation by the Bankruptcy Court, its ability to
comply with the debtor-in-possession financing facility, its ability to return
to profitability, generate sufficient cash flows from operations and obtain
financing sources to meet future obligations. These matters raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The
accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets amounts or
the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome
of these uncertainties.
In the Chapter 11 Cases, substantially all unsecured and under-secured
liabilities as of the Petition Date are subject to compromise or other treatment
under a plan of reorganization which must be confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court

(DEBTORS-IN-POSSESSION)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
(Tables in thousands)
(unaudited)
after submission to any required vote by affected parties. For financial
reporting purposes, those liabilities and obligations whose treatment and
satisfaction is dependent on the outcome of the Chapter 11 Cases have been
segregated and classified as liabilities subject to compromise in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Generally, all actions to enforce or
otherwise effect repayment of pre-Chapter 11 liabilities, as well as all pending
litigation against the Debtors, are stayed while the Debtors continue their
business operations as debtors-in-possession. The last date by which claims
against the Company had to be filed in the Bankruptcy Court if the claimants
wished to receive any distribution in the Chapter 11 Cases, i.e., the bar date,
was July 23, 2001. Differences between amounts shown by the Debtors and claims
filed by creditors will be investigated and amicably resolved, adjudicated
before the Bankruptcy Court or resolved through another dispute resolution
process. The ultimate amount of and settlement terms for liabilities subject to
compromise are subject to an approved plan of reorganization and accordingly are
not presently determinable.
Pursuant to SOP 90-7, professional fees associated with the Chapter 11 Cases are
expensed as incurred and reported as reorganization items. Interest expense is
reported only to the extent that it will be paid during the Chapter 11 Cases or
that it is probable that it will be an allowed claim.
(2) Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss consists of net loss and foreign currency translation
adjustments and aggregated $80.7 million and $129.1 million for the three and
six month periods ended June 30, 2001, respectively. For the three and six
months periods ended July 1, 2000, comprehensive loss aggregated were $6.4
million and $16.1 million, respectively.
(3) Inventories
Inventories consisted of the following at June 30, 2001, July 1, 2000, and
December 30, 2000:

-------- -------- -----------
$244,874 461,828 278,807

(4) Loss Per Share
There were no reconciling items between basic loss per share and diluted loss
per share because the effects of the conversion of preferred convertible stock
and convertible debentures would have been anti-dilutive for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 2001 and July 1, 2000, respectively. Because the
exercise price for outstanding options for the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 2001 and July 1, 2000, respectively was greater than the average market
price, no options were assumed to be exercised. For the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2001 and July 1, 2000, respectively, preferred
convertible stock was convertible into approximately 3.8 million and 3.3 shares
of common stock and convertible debentures were convertible into approximately
0.5 million shares of common stock and options to purchase approximately 1.1
million and 1.3 million shares of common stock were outstanding.

========== ========= =========
DIP FINANCING FACILITY
On December 6, 2000, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the "DIP Financing
Order") authorizing the Debtors to enter into a $150.0 million debtor-in-
possession financing facility including a $60.0 million letter of credit sub-
facility (the "DIP Financing Facility") with Bank of America, N.A. as agent for
a syndicate of financing institutions comprised of certain of the Company's
prepetition senior secured lenders, and to grant first priority priming liens
and mortgages, security interests, liens (including priming liens), and
superiority claims on substantially all of the assets of the Debtors to secure
the DIP Financing Facility. On March 6, 2001, the DIP Financing Facility was
amended to, among other things, reduce the size of the facility to $125.0
million, including the $60.0 million letter of credit sub-facility. The Company
obtained the reduction in the size of the DIP Financing Facility based upon its
determination that, as a result of its improved liquidity position, it did not
need as much availability as originally provided by the facility and its desire
to reduce the amount of its monthly unused commitment fee.
The DIP Financing Facility expires on the earliest of (a) November 14, 2001, (b)
the date on which the plan of reorganization becomes effective, (c) any material
non-compliance with any of the terms of the DIP Financing Order, (d) any event
of default that shall have occurred under the DIP Financing Facility, or (e)
consummation of a sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company
pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court shall have occurred. Under the
documentation evidencing the DIP Financing Facility as currently in effect, upon
the satisfaction of certain conditions, the November 14, 2001 maturity date
could be extended for an additional period of six months upon payment of an
extension fee equal to 0.50% of the portion of the DIP Financing Facility being
extended.

Amounts borrowed under the DIP Financing Facility bear interest at the option of
the Company at the rate of London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 3.50% or
Bank of America's Base Rate (which is the higher of the Federal Funds Rate or
Prime Rate plus, in either case, 0.05%) plus 1.00%. In addition to a facility
fee and an underwriting fee of 0.50% each, there is an unused commitment fee of
0.50%, a letter of credit fee of 3.50%, and a letter of credit fronting fee of
0.20%. The DIP Financing Facility is secured by a first priority priming lien
on the real and personal assets of the Company that also secure the prepetition
senior secured credit facilities described below and a junior lien on certain
plant and equipment that secure four industrial revenue bond facilities
described below (the "IRB Facilities") aggregating approximately $13.9 million
as of June 30, 2001, and certain obligations to the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation. The documentation evidencing the DIP Financing Facility as
currently in effect contains financial covenants requiring maintenance of an
asset coverage ratio and a minimum operating cash flow, as well as other
covenants that limit, among other things, indebtedness, liens, sales of assets,
capital expenditures, investments, and prohibit dividend payments. The net
proceeds of certain assets sales outside the ordinary course of business reduce
prepetition indebtedness under the senior secured credit facilities; otherwise,
the net proceeds of asset sales outside the ordinary course of business are
applied as a permanent reduction of the DIP Financing Facility.
As of June 30, 2001, the Company had $22.4 million in letters of credit
outstanding under the DIP Financing Facility. No cash borrowings were
outstanding on the DIP Financing Facility at June 30, 2001. Availability under
the DIP Financing Facility as of June 30, 2001, was approximately $46.7 million.
As prepetition letters of credit expire under the Company's senior secured
revolving credit facility described below, to the extent they are renewed, they
will be reissued under the DIP Financing Facility.
On August 13, 2001, the debtors and the lenders under the DIP Financing Facility
entered into an amendment to the facility providing for, among other things, (a)
the modification and addition of certain reporting requirements, (b) the
modification of the financial covenant requiring maintenance of an asset
coverage ratio, (c) the elimination of the financial covenant requiring
maintenance of a minimum operating cash flow, (d) the addition of a financial
covenant requiring maintenance of a minimum level of earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization, and (e) the elimination of the six month
extension provision described above. The effectiveness of the amendment is
subject to, among other things, Bankruptcy Court approval. As of the date of
this Quarterly Report, no Bankruptcy Court hearing has been set for this
purpose; however, the Company intends promptly to file a motion with the
Bankruptcy Court seeking to have the amendment approved at the Bankruptcy Court
hearing previously scheduled for August 23, 2001, in connection with the sale of
assets associated with the Company's Blanket Division. Simultaneously with
entering into the amendment, the lenders under the DIP Financing Facility agreed
to waive defaults under the existing asset coverage covenant and reporting
requirements of the DIP Financing Facility pending action by the Bankruptcy
Court in respect of the amendment. Management believes they will be able to
obtain an extension of the DIP Financing Facility beyond November 14, 2001;
however, no assurance can be given that any such extension will be obtained or
as to the specific terms of any such extension.
SENIOR DEBT FACILITIES
In December 1997, in connection with the Fieldcrest Cannon acquisition, the
Company entered into senior secured revolving credit and term loan facilities
with a group of financial and institutional investors for which Bank of America,
N.A. acts as the administrative and collateral agent. These facilities
consisted of a $350.0 million revolving credit facility and a $250.0 million
term loan facility. The term loan facility consisted of a $125.0 million
Tranche A Term Loan and a $125.0 million Tranche B Term Loan. Effective July
28, 1998, the Company amended these facilities by increasing the Tranche B Term
Loan to $225.0 million. The increase occurred in conjunction with the
acquisition of The Leshner Corporation ("Leshner"), allowing the Company to fund
the transaction and reduce borrowings under the revolving credit facility.
As of June 30, 2001, the Company had $12.4 million in letters of credit
outstanding under the prepetition revolving credit facility. As these
prepetition letters of credit expire, to the extent they are renewed, they will
be reissued under the DIP Financing Facility.

(DEBTORS-IN-POSSESSION)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
(Tables in thousands)
(unaudited)
As amended, amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility and the
Tranche A Term Loan currently bear interest at a rate based upon LIBOR plus
3.50%. The Tranche B Term Loan bears interest on a similar basis to the Tranche
A Term Loan, plus an additional margin of 0.50%. The weighted average annual
interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the various prepetition senior
credit facilities for the three months period ended June 30, 2001 was 8.3% and
9.0% for the six months period ended June 30, 2001. The prepetition senior debt
facilities expire on January 31, 2002.
The senior debt facilities are guaranteed by each of the domestic subsidiaries
of the Company, and are secured by first priority liens on all of the capital
stock of each domestic subsidiary of the Company and by 65% of the capital stock
of the Company's foreign subsidiaries. The Company has also granted a first
priority security interest in all of its presently unencumbered and future
domestic assets and properties, and all presently unencumbered and future
domestic assets and properties of each of its subsidiaries.
Pursuant to the DIP Financing Order, the Bankruptcy Court authorized the Company
to make scheduled interest payments on the prepetition senior debt facilities.
Even though these payments are being made, the Company remains in default under
the prepetition senior debt facilities.
As of June 30, 2001, $150.0 million of the $641.2 million of the revolver and
term loan facilities had become subject to treatment as postpetition debt rather
than prepetition debt, as authorized by the DIP Financing Order.
OVERLINE FACILITY
In May 1999, the Company entered into a $20.0 million senior unsecured revolving
credit facility (the "Overline Facility") in order to obtain additional working
capital availability. On July 27, 1999, the Overline Facility was amended to
increase the amount of funds available to $35.0 million and to secure it with
the same assets securing the senior debt facilities described above. The
Overline Facility is guaranteed on a senior basis by the Company's domestic
subsidiaries. Amounts borrowed under the Overline Facility bear interest at a
rate based upon LIBOR plus 4.5% or the base rate plus 3.0%, at the Company's
option. The Overline Facility matures upon termination by the Company at any
time or otherwise at the earliest of: (i) any increase in the commitment under
the senior debt facilities described above, the issuance of any capital stock by
the Company or its domestic subsidiaries, or other specified events; or (ii)
January 31, 2002.
Pursuant to the DIP Financing Order, the Bankruptcy Court authorized the Company
to make scheduled interest payments on the Overline Facility. Even though these
payments are being made, the Company remains in default under the Overline
Facility.
SENIOR SUBORDINATED DEBT
In connection with the Fieldcrest Cannon acquisition, the Company issued $185.0
million aggregate principal amount of 9% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2005 (the
"9% Notes"), with interest payable semiannually commencing June 15, 1998. The 9%
Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company, are subordinated in
right of payment to all existing and future senior indebtedness, and rank pari
passu with the 10% Notes described below.
On November 12, 1996, the Company issued $125.0 million aggregate principal
amount of 10% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2006 (the "10% Notes"), with
interest payable semiannually commencing May 15, 1997. The 10% Notes are
general unsecured obligations of the Company, are subordinated in right of
payment to all existing and future senior indebtedness, and rank pari passu with
the 9% Notes.
The 9% Notes and the 10% Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior
subordinated basis by each of the existing and future domestic subsidiaries of
the Company and each other subsidiary of the Company that guarantees the
Company's obligations under the senior debt facilities described above. The
guarantees are subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future
senior indebtedness of the relevant guarantor.

(unaudited)
The Company is in default under the indentures governing both the 9% Notes and
the 10% Notes. No principal or interest payment has been or will be made on the
9% Notes or the 10% Notes during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases.
FIELDCREST CANNON 6% CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
As a result of the Company's acquisition of Fieldcrest Cannon, the outstanding
Fieldcrest Cannon 6% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2012 (the "6%
Convertible Debentures") are convertible, at the option of the holders, into a
combination of cash and Common Stock. As of June 30, 2001, approximately $90.4
million aggregate principal amount of the 6% Convertible Debentures remained
outstanding. If all such outstanding 6% Convertible Debentures were converted at
such date, the resulting cash component of the conversion consideration would
have been approximately $57.2 million.
Prior to the Petition Date, Fieldcrest Cannon issued certain non-interest
bearing subordinated promissory notes (the "Cash Claimant notes") in respect of
the unpaid cash portion of the conversion consideration owing to certain holders
of 6% convertible Debentures who had surrendered their debentures for
conversion, but had not been paid the cash portion of the conversion
consideration. As of June 30, 2001, the aggregate amount of the outstanding
Cash Claimant Notes was $5.2 million.
The 6% Convertible Debentures and Cash Claimants Notes are general unsecured
obligations of Fieldcrest Cannon.
Fieldcrest Cannon is in default under the indenture governing the 6% Convertible
Debentures and the Cash Claimant Notes. No principal or interest payment has
been or will be made on the 6% Convertible Debentures or Cash Claimant Notes
during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases.
INDUSTRIAL REVENUE BONDS
The Company has obligations in respect of four industrial revenue bond
facilities. The IRB Facilities are secured by liens on specified plants and
equipment. As of June 30, 2001, $13.9 million of bonds in the aggregate were
outstanding under the IRB Facilities.
On February 6, 2001, the Bankruptcy Court authorized the Company to make
scheduled principal and interest payments on the IRB Facilities. Even though
these payments are being made, the Company remains in default of its obligations
under each of the IRB Facilities.
ADEQUACY OF CAPITAL RESOURCES
As discussed above, the Debtors are operating their businesses as debtors-in-
possession under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. In addition to the cash
requirements necessary to fund ongoing operations, the Company anticipates that
it will incur significant professional fees and other restructuring costs in
connection with the Chapter 11 Cases and the restructuring of its business
operations. As a result of the uncertainty surrounding the Company's current
circumstances, it is difficult to predict the Company's actual liquidity needs
at this time. However, based on current and anticipated levels of operations,
and efforts to reduce inventories and accounts receivable, the Company
anticipates that its cash flow from operations, together with amounts available
under the DIP Financing Facility, will be adequate to meet its anticipated cash
requirements during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases. In the event that
cash flows and available borrowings under the DIP Financing Facility are not
sufficient to meet future cash requirements, the Company may be required to
reduce planned capital expenditures or seek additional financing. The Company
can provide no assurances that reductions in planned capital expenditures would
be sufficient to cover shortfalls in available cash or that additional financing
would be available or, if available, offered on acceptable terms. As a result
of the Chapter 11 Cases and the circumstances leading to the filing thereof, the
Company's access to additional financing is, and for the foreseeable future will
likely continue to be, very limited. The Company's long-term liquidity
requirements and the adequacy of the Company's capital resources are difficult
to predict at this time, and ultimately cannot be determined until a plan of
reorganization has been developed and confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court in
connection with the Chapter 11 Cases.

(6) Liabilities Subject to Compromise
The principal categories of obligations classified as liabilities subject to
compromise under the Chapter 11 Cases are identified below. The amounts set
forth below may vary significantly from the stated amounts of proofs of claim
filed with the Bankruptcy Court and may be subject to future adjustments
depending on Bankruptcy Court action, further developments with respect to
potential disputed claims, determination as to the value of any collateral
securing claims, or other events.
The Debtors are in the process of reviewing their executory contracts and
unexpired leases and have received approval from the Bankruptcy Court to reject
certain contracts and leases. The Debtors cannot presently determine the
ultimate liability for all contracts and leases that will be approved by the
Bankruptcy Court for rejection. The estimated prepetition liability for those
contracts and leases the Bankruptcy Court has already approved for rejection is
approximately $8.9 million, which was accrued in the second quarter of 2001 as a
reorganization item. The Company may be required to accrue additional
liabilities as more contracts and leases are approved for rejection by the
Bankruptcy Court.
The components of liabilities subject to compromise at June 30, 2001 and
December 30, 2000 are as follows:
June 30, December 30,
2001 2000
----------- -------------
9% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 $185,000 185,000
10% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2006 125,000 125,000
6% Convertible Subordinated Sinking Fund Debentures due 2012 85,217 85,217
Cash Claimant Notes 5,200 5,200
Other 38 -
-------- -------
Total long-term debt 400,455 400,417

Interest accrued on above notes and debentures 14,018 14,448
Accounts payable 50,662 55,322
Nonqualified pension plan liability 11,673 11,673
Rejected contracts and leases 8,936 -
Other accrued expenses 6,154 10,233
-------- -------
$491,898 492,093
======== =======
As a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, no principal or interest
payments have been or will be made on unsecured prepetition debt without
Bankruptcy Court approval or until a plan of reorganization providing for the
repayment terms has been confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court and becomes
effective. Therefore, interest aggregating $17.1 million on prepetition
unsecured obligations has not been accrued in the six months ended June 30,
2001. Since the Petition Date, the Company has not accrued interest aggregating
$21.6 million on prepetition unsecured obligations.
(7) Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
On December 19, 1997, the Company issued 65,000 shares of Series A Redeemable
Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred Stock") for $65.0 million less
$2.1 million of issue costs. Accretion is being recognized to

(unaudited)
increase the recorded amount to the redemption amount over the period to the
redemption date. Dividends accrued from the issue date through December 31, 1999
at a 3% annual rate. Beginning January 1, 2000, the rate increased to 10% as a
result of the Company's earnings per share for 1999 falling below predetermined
targets. During the third and fourth quarters of 1999, the Company accrued and
paid in kind a one-time cumulative dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock,
from the issue date through December 31, 1999, equal to the difference between
the dividends calculated at the 3% rate and dividends calculated at the 10%
rate, or 10,135 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Under the terms of the
Series A Preferred Stock, dividends can be paid in cash or additional shares of
Series A Preferred Stock until December 2002, at which time they must be paid in
cash. Under the DIP Financing Facility, the Company is prohibited from paying
any dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock. A total of 81,411 shares of
Series A Preferred Stock were outstanding as of June 30, 2001. The commencement
of the Chapter 11 Cases constitutes an "Event of Noncompliance" under the terms
of the Series A Preferred Stock. The terms of the Series A Preferred Stock
provide that upon the occurrence of an Event of Noncompliance, the dividend rate
on such stock will increase immediately to the lesser of 18% per annum or the
maximum rate permitted by law. Accordingly, as of the Petition Date, dividends
on the Series A Preferred Stock began accruing at 18% per year, compounding
quarterly.
The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible, at any time at the option of the
holder, into Common Stock at a rate calculated by dividing $1,000 plus unpaid
dividends per share by $24.00 per share. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock
is subject to mandatory redemption in ten and one-half years after the issue
date at a redemption price of $1,000 plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The
Company has the right after the fourth anniversary of the issue date to call all
or a portion of the Series A Preferred Stock at $1,000 per share plus accrued
and unpaid dividends times a premium equal to the dividend rate after the fourth
anniversary date and declining ratably to the mandatory redemption date.
Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to limited voting rights
only under certain conditions.
As a result of the amount of prepetition indebtedness and the availability of
the "cram down" provision of the Bankruptcy Code described above, the holders of
the Series A Preferred Stock may receive no value for their accrued dividends
under a plan of reorganization.
(8) Segment Information
The Company manufactures textile products for the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen
and markets them to department stores, discount stores, specialty shops and
certain institutional customers and over the Internet. The Company is organized
into three major divisions that it considers operating segments: Bed and Bath,

(9) Restructuring Charge and Impairment of Long-lived Assets
During the first quarter of 2001, the Company incurred a charge of $2.0 million
associated with the closure of the Company's towel manufacturing facility
located in Hawkinsville, Georgia. The Hawkinsville facility closed in March
2001, and its operations have been relocated to the Company's facilities in
Kannapolis, North Carolina, Fieldale, Virginia and Columbus, Georgia.
Approximately 380 employees were terminated as a result of the closure. During
the second quarter of 2001, the Company revised its estimate of benefits to be
provided after termination and reduced the restructuring reserve for
Hawkinsville by $0.5 million.
During the second quarter of 2001, the Company announced the closure of several
facilities. A blanket yarn manufacturing plant in Newton, North Carolina was
closed on June 30, 2001 as a result of the Company's evaluation of its strategic
options relating to the Blanket Division. Production ceased at a cut-and-sew
bedding facility in Rocky Mount, North Carolina on June 30, 2001, but the
Company currently estimates that certain warehousing and shipping employees will
remain through the end of the year to satisfy existing commitments to customers.
The Rocky Mount facility manufactured decorative bedding exclusively under a
license agreement, which expired on June 30, 2001. A sheet manufacturing
facility in Kannapolis, North Carolina was closed on July 15, 2001 and its
production was relocated to an existing facility in China Grove, North Carolina.
A towel yarn manufacturing operation and cotton warehouse in Columbus, Georgia
were closed on July 15, 2001 and production was relocated to the Company's
existing yarn manufacturing operations in Kannapolis, North Carolina and
Tarboro, North Carolina. A towel warehouse and distribution center in Phenix
City, Alabama will be closed in August 2001 and its operations will be
transferred to an existing distribution center in Macon, Georgia. In addition,
the Company announced plans to scale back towel production at another facility
in Kannapolis, which the Company currently expects to complete by the end of
2001. As a result of these closures, the Company incurred a restructuring
charge of $5.4 million in the second quarter of 2001, primarily consisting of
severance and benefits. The Company currently expects that the majority of the
severance and benefits will be paid during the third quarter of 2001. As of
June 30, 2001, approximately 850 employees had been terminated. When completed,
the closures will affect approximately 1,130 employees.

The Company also recognized a charge for impairment of long-lived assets of

the charge relates to assets located at the facilities discussed above,
consisting of a $3.6 million write-down for real property and a $16.3 million
write-down for machinery and equipment. In addition, the Company evaluated the
carrying values of certain machinery and equipment classified in assets held for
sale and recorded a write-down of $0.2 million. The impairment charge reflects
management's estimate of the fair market value based upon appraisals and the
expected future cash flows to be generated by the assets, including their
ultimate disposition. Management expects to sell these assets during the next
twelve months.

PROFESSIONAL FEES. During the three and six month period ended June 30, 2001,
the Company paid approximately $6.4 million and $7.9 million respectively in
professional fees associated with the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases.
KEY EMPLOYEE RETENTION PROGRAM. On March 6, 2001, the Bankruptcy Court entered
an order authorizing the Company to implement a key employee retention program
consisting of (i) a retention incentive plan (the "Retention Incentive Plan"),
(ii) an emergence performance bonus plan (the "Emergence Bonus Plan") and (iii)
an employee severance plan (the "Severance Plan") (collectively, the "Retention
Program"). The purpose of the Retention Program is to provide the incentives
necessary for the Company to retain its management team and other key employees
and to otherwise address concerns regarding potential key employee attrition
during the Company's financial restructuring process.
Under the Retention Incentive Plan, eligible employees are to earn a specified
retention incentive payment (a "Retention Incentive Payment"), based upon a
percentage of their salary determined by the Company's management, payable on
the following four dates if the employee remains actively employed by the
Company on such dates: (i) 25% of the total Retention Incentive Payment will be
paid in the month following the Bankruptcy Court's approval of the Retention
Program, (ii) 25% of the total Retention Incentive Payment will be paid on the
18

(unaudited)
first anniversary date of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases (i.e., November 14,
2001), (iii) 25% of the total Retention Incentive Payment will be paid on the
earlier of (a) six months after the second payment is made or (b) confirmation
of a plan of reorganization, and (iv) 25% of the total Retention Incentive
Payment will be paid 30 days following confirmation of a plan of reorganization.
The Company currently estimates the total cost of the Retention Incentive Plan
to be approximately $6.1 million. In addition, a discretionary retention pool
of $500,000 is available for non-union employees not already included in the
Retention Incentive Plan. On April 9, 2001, the Company paid the first
installment of the Retention Incentive Plan for approximately $1.5 million.
The Emergence Performance Bonus Plan provides an additional incentive payment to
certain management employees who are particularly essential to the
implementation of the Company's restructuring to remain with the Company through
the plan negotiation and confirmation process. Payments under the Emergence
Performance Bonus Plan are tied directly to two factors: the amount of the
distribution made under a confirmed plan of reorganization to unsecured
creditors and the length of the Chapter 11 Cases. Since the two factors are
currently not known, the Company has not reflected any expense associated with
the Emergence Performance Bonus Plan in its results of operations for the six
months ended June 30, 2001.
The purpose of the Severance Plan is to integrate all severance agreements
existing prior to the Petition Date into one plan, which supersedes all prior
severance plans and the severance provisions of executives' employment
arrangements. The Severance Plan covers all full-time employees of the Company,
the majority of which are not eligible to participate in any other components of
the Retention Program. With certain exceptions, employees who are terminated
after the Petition Date for reasons other than death, disability, retirement or
cause, will be eligible to receive severance benefits equal to one week's salary
for each completed year of service, with a minimum of two weeks salary and a
maximum of 26 weeks salary. In addition, eligible employees will be entitled to
receive medical insurance, life insurance and certain other benefits.
REJECTED CONTRACTS AND LEASES. The Debtors are in the process of reviewing
their executory contracts and unexpired leases and have received approval from
the Bankruptcy Court to reject certain contracts and leases. The Debtors cannot
presently determine the ultimate liability for all contracts and leases that
will be approved by the Bankruptcy Court for rejection. The estimated
prepetition liability for those contracts and leases the Bankruptcy Court has
already approved for rejection is approximately $8.9 million, which was accrued
in the second quarter of 2001 as a reorganization item. The Company may be
required to accrue additional liabilities as more contracts and leases are
approved for rejection by the Bankruptcy Court.
(11) Income Taxes
The Company's management, in assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets
must consider whether it is more likely than not that part or all of the
deferred tax asset may not be realized. This assessment includes consideration
for the scheduled reversal of temporary taxable differences, projected future
taxable income and tax planning strategies. As a result of this assessment, the
Company did not recognize an income tax benefit for the loss incurred for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2001. Instead, the increase in net deferred
tax assets as a result of the loss was offset by an equal increase in the
valuation allowance. As of June 30, 2001, the Company's management also
concluded that deferred tax assets, net of the valuation allowance, can be
realized as a result of the reversal of existing temporary taxable differences.
At June 30, 2001, the Company has $383 million of federal and state operating
loss carryforward expiring 2006 through 2021, $2.0 million of general business
tax credit carryforward expiring 2005 through 2021 and a $6.7 million unused
alternative minimum tax credit carryforward that does not expire.
(12) Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Standards
During June 1998, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, was issued. This
statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts, and for hedging

(unaudited)
activities. The provisions of SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS Nos. 137 and 138,
are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company
adopted the provisions of the standards on December 31, 2000. The adoption of
SFAS No. 133, as amended, did not have any impact on its financial position or
results of operations. The Company enters into fixed-price contracts for
purchases of raw material cotton from its suppliers. SFAS No. 133, as amended,
requires the Company to evaluate its commodity contracts to determine whether
the contracts are "normal purchases or normal sales." The Company has concluded
and documented that these contracts meet the definition of "normal purchases or
normal sales," and therefore are not considered derivative instruments
In May 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Emerging Issue Task
Force (EITF) issued EITF No. 00-14," Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives"
(EITF 00-14). EITF 00-14 addresses the recognition, measurement and income
statement classification for certain types of sales incentives offered by
vendors to their customers. The Company is required to adopt the provisions of
EITF 00-14 at the beginning of fiscal 2002, which commences December 30, 2001.
The Company is currently analyzing the impact of adopting EITF 00-14 on its
financial position and results of operations.
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141,
"Business Combinations," and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets." SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used
for all business combinations completed after June 30, 2001, and specifies
criteria for the recognition and reporting of intangible assets apart from
goodwill. Under SFAS No. 142, beginning in fiscal 2002, which commences
December 30, 2001, the Company will no longer amortize goodwill and intangible
assets with indefinite lives, but instead will test those assets for impairment
at least annually. Intangible assets with definite useful lives will be
amortized over such lives to their estimated residual values. The Company is
required to adopt SFAS No. 142 on December 30, 2001. The Company is currently
evaluating the provisions of SFAS Nos. 141 and 142 and has not yet determined
the effects of these changes on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.
(13) Subsequent Event
On July 27, 2001, the Company executed a definitive agreement to sell most of
the inventory and fixed assets associated with its Blanket Division to Beacon
Acquisition Corporation, an investment entity owned by a group of current
Blanket Division managers and a private investor. The sale is subject to
approval by the Company's senior lenders and by the Bankruptcy Court. A hearing
on a motion seeking an order authorizing the sale is scheduled for August 23,
2001. The purchaser has agreed to pay a purchase price of $16.8 million,
subject to certain adjustments based on inventory levels, prepaid items and
accrued but unpaid items as of closing, and to assume all liabilities arising
under the terms of contracts to be assumed and assigned to the purchaser and,
with limited exceptions, all environmental liabilities associated with the
purchased assets, assuming the Company is able to realize on its rights under
indemnification agreements with prior owners. The purchase price will be paid
in a combination of cash and a three-year promissory note in a principal amount
of approximately $1.3 million, secured by a pledge of 100% of the stock of the
purchaser, a second lien on the majority of the assets being sold (excluding the
Blanket Division's real property located in Westminister, South Carolina) and a
third lien on the Blanket Division's real property located in Swannanoa, North
Carolina. Third parties may submit competing bids for these assets in
accordance with the Bankruptcy's Court Order (a) approving global bidding
procedures and (b) authorizing Debtors to grant pre-approved bid protections to
prospective purchasers, dated April 6, 2001. The net proceeds from the sale of
these assets will be applied to pay down the Debtor's obligations to the lenders
under the prepetition senior debt facilities and the Overline Facility described
above, in accordance with the Final Order authorizing the Debtors-In-Possession
to enter into a postpetition financing agreement and obtain postpetition
financing pursuant to section 363 and 364 of the Bankruptcy Code and providing
adequate protection and granting liens, security interest and superpriority
claims.
The Company had incurred an impairment charge of $88.3 million relating to the
fixed assets and goodwill associated with the Blanket Division in the year ended
December 30, 2000.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached
unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, and with the
Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the
fiscal year ended December 30, 2000.
PROCEEDINGS UNDER CHAPTER 11 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE
On November 14, 2000, Pillowtex Corporation and substantially all of its
domestic subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under chapter
11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. For further discussion of the Chapter
11 Cases, see the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere
in this Quarterly Report.
Since the Petition Date, the Debtors have conducted business in the ordinary
course. Management is in the process of developing a plan of reorganization.
After developing a plan of reorganization, the Debtors will seek the acceptance
of the plan by impaired creditors and equity holders and confirmation of the
plan by the Bankruptcy Court, all in accordance with the applicable provisions
of the Bankruptcy Code.
During the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors may, with Bankruptcy
Court approval, sell assets and settle liabilities, including for amounts other
than those reflected in the financial statements. The Debtors are continuing to
review their operations and identify assets for disposition. As discussed
below, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell most of the
inventory and fixed assets associated with its Blanket Division.
The Debtors are in the process of reviewing their executory contracts and
unexpired leases and have received approval from the Bankruptcy Court to reject
certain contracts and leases. The Debtors cannot presently determine the
ultimate liability for all contracts and leases that will be approved by the
Bankruptcy Court for rejection. The estimated prepetition liability for those
contracts and leases the Bankruptcy Court has already approved for rejection is
approximately $8.9 million, which was accrued in the second quarter of 2001 as a
reorganization item. The Company may be required to accrue additional
liabilities as more contracts and leases are approved for rejection by the
Bankruptcy Court.
The administrative and reorganization expenses resulting from the Chapter 11
Cases will unfavorably affect the Debtors' results of operations. Future
results of operations may also be adversely affected by other factors related to
the Chapter 11 Cases.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in the Quarterly Report
are presented in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants Statement of Position 90-7, "Financial Reporting by Entities in
Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code" (SOP 90-7) assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. The Company is currently operating under
the jurisdiction of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Court,
and continuation of the Company as a going concern is contingent upon, among
other things, its ability to formulate a plan of reorganization which will gain
approval of the requisite parties under the Bankruptcy Code and confirmation by
the Bankruptcy Court, its ability to comply with the DIP Financing Facility, its
ability to return to profitability, generate sufficient cash flows from
operations and obtain financing sources to meet future obligations. These
matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not
include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of
recorded assets amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that
might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
While under the protection of Chapter 11, the Company may sell or otherwise
dispose of assets, and liquidate or settle liabilities, for amounts other than
those reflected in the financial statements. Additionally, the amounts reported
on the consolidated balance sheet could materially change because of changes in
business strategies and the effects of any proposed plan of reorganization.
28
In the Chapter 11 Cases, substantially all unsecured and under-secured
liabilities as of the Petition Date are subject to compromise or other treatment
under a plan of reorganization which must be confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court
after submission to any required vote by affected parties. For financial
reporting purposes, those liabilities and obligations whose treatment and
satisfaction is dependent on the outcome of the Chapter 11 Cases, have been
segregated and classified as liabilities subject to compromise in the
consolidated balance sheet included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Generally, all actions to enforce or otherwise effect repayment of pre-Chapter
11 liabilities as well as all pending litigation against the Debtors are stayed
while the Debtors continue their business operations as debtors-in-possession.
The last date by which claims against the Company had to be filed in the
Bankruptcy Court if the claimant wished to receive any distribution in the
Chapter 11 Cases, i.e., the bar date, was July 23, 2001. Differences between
amounts shown by the Debtors and claims filed by creditors will be investigated
and amicably resolved, adjudicated before the Bankruptcy Court or resolved
through another dispute resolution process. The ultimate amount of and
settlement terms for liabilities subject to compromise are subject to an
approved plan of reorganization and accordingly are not presently determinable.
Pursuant to SOP 90-7, professional fees associated with the Chapter 11 Cases are
expensed as incurred and reported as reorganization items. Interest expense is
reported only to the extent that it will be paid during the Chapter 11 Cases or
that it is probable that it will be an allowed claim.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On July 27, 2001, the Company executed a definitive agreement to sell most of
the inventory and fixed assets associated with its Blanket Division to Beacon
Acquisition Corporation, an investment entity owned by a group of current
Blanket Division managers and a private investor. The sale is subject to
approval by the Company's senior lenders and by the Bankruptcy Court. A hearing
on a motion seeking an order authorizing the sale is scheduled for August 23,
2001. The purchaser has agreed to pay a purchase price of $16.8 million, subject
to certain adjustments based on inventory levels, prepaid items and accrued but
unpaid items as of closing, and to assume all liabilities arising under the
terms of contracts to be assumed and assigned to the purchaser and, with limited
exceptions, all environmental liabilities associated with the purchased assets,
assuming the Company is able to realize on its rights under indemnification
agreements with prior owners. The purchase price will be paid in a combination
of cash and a three-year promissory note in a principal amount of approximately
$1.3 million, secured by a pledge of 100% of the stock of the purchaser, a
second lien on the majority of the assets being sold (excluding the Blanket
Division's real property located in Westminister, South Carolina) and a third
lien on the Blanket Division's real property located in Swannanoa, North
Carolina. Third parties may submit competing bids for these assets in accordance
with the Bankruptcy's Court Order (a) approving global bidding procedures and
(b) authorizing Debtors to grant pre-approved bid protections to prospective
purchasers, dated April 6, 2001. The net proceeds from the sale of these assets
will be applied to pay down the Debtor's obligations to the lenders under the
prepetition senior debt facilities and the Overline Facility described above, in
accordance with the Final Order authorizing the Debtors-In-Possession to enter
into a postpetition financing agreement and obtain postpetition financing
pursuant to section 363 and 364 of the Bankruptcy Code and providing adequate
protection and granting liens, security interest and superpriority claims.
The Company had incurred an impairment charge of $88.3 million relating to the
fixed assets and goodwill associated with the Blanket Division in the year ended
December 30, 2000.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Sales. Net sales were $247.5 million for the three month period ended June
30, 2001, a decrease of $94.4 million or 27.6% from the comparable three month
period ended July 1, 2000. Net sales for the six month period ended June 30,
2001 were $537.3 million, down $149.8 million or 21.8% from the comparable six
month period ended July 1, 2000. Net sales for the Company's operating segments
for each period are shown below (in thousands):

(a) Includes retail stores
Approximately $33.9 million and $72.8 million of the decrease in sales for the
three months and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively, is attributable
to the loss of a specific customer, which has affected the Company's three major
divisions. Excluding the impact of the lost customer, net sales decreased 19.6%
and 12.0%, respectively, for the three month and six month periods ended June
30, 2001, as compared to the corresponding 2000 periods. These decreases are
due to a continued slow down in the US economy and increased competition from
imports.
GROSS PROFIT. In the three months ended June 30, 2001, gross profit was a loss
of $5.0 million; a decrease of $44.6 million from $39.5 million for the
comparable three months ended July 1, 2000. Gross profit for the six month
period ended June 30, 2001 was a loss of $0.6 million, down $79.2 million from
$78.6 million for the comparable six months ended July 1, 2000. Gross profit
(loss) by operating segment is as follows (in thousands):

======== ======== ======== ========
(a) Includes retail stores and corporate charges
The Company has continued to focus on inventory reduction initiatives and
aligning production schedules with sales requirements. Although these actions
have had a positive impact on the Company's working capital, it has placed
pressure on gross profits by contributing to an increase in unabsorbed overhead
cost of approximately $21.4 million and $41.4 million in the three month and six
month periods ended June 30, 2001, respectively.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE ("SG&A"). SG&A expenses for the three month
period ended June 30, 2001, decreased $1.9 million to $20.7 million from $22.6
million for the comparable three month period ended July 1, 2000. For the six
month period ended June 30, 2001, SG&A expenses decreased $4.8 million to $44.8
million from $49.6 million for the comparable six month period ended July 1,
2000. These savings are primarily the result of management's continued focus on
cost controls. The combined savings from these efforts in salaries and wages
and general fees and services for SG&A for the six month period ended June 30,
2001, were approximately $4.0 million when compared to the six month period
ended July 1, 2000.
RESTRUCTURING CHARGE. During the second quarter of 2001, the Company incurred a
net restructuring charge of $4.9 million associated with the closure of
operations in Newton, North Carolina; Rocky Mount, North Carolina; Columbus,
Georgia; Kannapolis, North Carolina; and Phenix City, Alabama. The Company had
incurred a restructuring charge of $2.0 million during the first quarter of 2001
related to the closure of the Company's facility in Hawkinsville, Georgia. The
Company currently estimates that the closures will result in net annual cost
savings of approximately $15.0 million to $20.0 million.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS. During the second quarter of 2001, the Company
recognized a charge for impairment of long-lived assets of $20.1 million. The
charge consists of $19.9 million for real property and equipment at the
facilities closed during 2001 and $0.2 million related to revisions in the
Company's estimates of the fair value of certain items included in assets held
for sale.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense decreased $9.5 million to $16.5 million for
the three month period ended June 30, 2001; compared to $26.0 million for the
three month period ended July 1, 2000. The average interest rate for the
30
second quarter of 2001 was approximately 8.3%, compared to approximately 9.8% in
the second quarter of 2000. For the six month period ended June 30, 2001,
interest expense decreased $18.4 million to $35.4 million from $53.8 million for
the comparable six month period ended July 1, 200. The primary reason for the
decrease in interest expense results from the Company's filing of the Chapter 11
Cases, which enabled the Company to cease the payment and accrual of interest on
all unsecured prepetition debt. The interest on that unsecured prepetition debt
was approximately $8.6 million and $17.2 million, respectively, for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2001.
REORGANIZATION ITEMS. Through the second quarter of 2001, the Company
recognized $21.2 million of reorganization items associated with the Chapter 11
Cases. The charge consists of approximately $10.1 million of fees payable to
professionals retained to assist with the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases,
approximately $8.9 million for rejected contracts and leases and approximately
$3.1 million for a key employee retention program for the Company's management
team and other key employees, offset by interest income of approximately $1.0
million.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
DIP FINANCING FACILITY. On December 6, 2000, the Bankruptcy Court entered the
DIP Financing Order authorizing the Debtors to enter into the $150.0 million DIP
Financing Facility, including a $60.0 million letter of credit such facility,
and to grant first priority primary liens, mortgages, security interests, liens
(including priming liens), and superiority claims on substantially all of the
assets of the Debtors to secure the DIP Financing Facility. On March 6, 2001,
the DIP Financing Facility was amended to, among other things, reduce the size
of the facility to $125.0 million, including the $60.0 million letter of credit
sub-facility. The Company obtained the reduction in the amount of the facility
based upon its determination that, as a result of its improved liquidity
position, it did not need as much availability as originally provided by the
facility and its desire to reduce the amount of its monthly unused commitment
fee.
The DIP Financing Facility expires on the earliest of (a) November 14, 2001, (b)
the date on which the plan of reorganization becomes effective, (c) any material
non-compliance with any of the terms of the DIP Financing Order, (d) any event
of default that shall have occurred under the DIP Financing Facility, or (e)
consummation of a sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company
pursuant to an order of Bankruptcy Court shall have occurred. Under the
documentation evidencing the DIP Financing Facility as currently in effect, upon
the satisfaction of certain conditions, the November 14, 2001 maturity date
could be extended for an additional period of six months upon payment of an
extension fee equal to 0.50% of the portion of the DIP Financing Facility being
extended.
Amounts borrowed under the DIP Financing Facility bear interest at the option of
the Company at the rate of London Interbank Offered Rate LIBOR plus 3.50% or
Bank of America's Base Rate (which is higher of Federal Funds Rate or Prime Rate
plus, in either case, 0.05%) plus 1.00%. In addition to a facility fee and an
underwriting fee of 0.50% each, there is an unused commitment fee of 0.50%, a
letter of credit fee of 3.50%, a letter of credit fronting fee of 0.20%. The
DIP Financing Facility is secured by a first priority priming lien on the real
and personal assets of the Company that also secure the prepetition senior
secured credit facilities described below and a junior lien on certain plant and
equipment that secure the IRB Facilities described below aggregating
approximately $13.9 million as of June 30, 2001, and certain obligations to the
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. The documentation evidencing the DIP
Financing Facility as currently in effect contains financial covenants requiring
maintenance of an asset coverage ratio and a minimum operating cash flow, as
well as other covenants that limit, among other things, indebtedness, liens,
sales of assets, capital expenditures, investments, and prohibit dividend
payments. The net proceeds of certain assets sales outside the ordinary course
of business reduce prepetition indebtedness under the senior secured credit
facilities; otherwise, the net proceeds of asset sales outside the ordinary
course of business are applied as a permanent reduction of the DIP Financing
Facility.
As of June 30, 2001, the Company had $22.4 million in letters of credit
outstanding under the DIP Financing Facility. No cash borrowings were
outstanding on the DIP Financing Facility at June 30, 2001. Availability under
the DIP Financing Facility as of June 30, 2001, was approximately $46.7 million.
As prepetition letters of credit expire under the Company's senior secured
revolving credit facility described below, to the extent they are renewed, they
will be reissued under the DIP Financing Facility.
31
On August 13, 2001, the debtors and the lenders under the DIP Financing Facility
entered into an amendment to the facility providing for, among other things, (a)
the modification and addition of certain reporting requirements, (b) the
modification of the financial covenant requiring maintenance of an asset
coverage ratio, (c) the elimination of the financial covenant requiring
maintenance of a minimum operating cash flow, (d) the addition of a financial
covenant requiring maintenance of a minimum level of earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization, and (e) the elimination of the six month
extension provision described above. The effectiveness of the amendment is
subject to, among other things, Bankruptcy Court approval. As of the date of
this Quarterly Report, no Bankruptcy Court hearing has been set for this
purpose; however, the Company intends promptly to file a motion with the
Bankruptcy Court seeking to have the amendment approved at the Bankruptcy Court
hearing previously scheduled for August 23, 2001, in connection with the sale of
assets associated with the Company's Blanket Division. Simultaneously with
entering into the amendment, the lenders under the DIP Financing Facility agreed
to waive defaults under the existing asset coverage covenant and reporting
requirements of the DIP Financing Facility pending action by the Bankruptcy
Court in respect of the amendment. Management believes they will be able to
obtain an extension of the DIP Financing Facility beyond November 14, 2001;
however, no assurance can be given that any such extension will be obtained or
as to the specific terms of any such extension.
SENIOR DEBT FACILITIES. In December 1997, in connection with the Fieldcrest
Cannon acquisition, the Company entered into senior secured revolving credit and
term loan facilities with a group of financial and institutional investors for
which Bank of America, N.A. acts as the administrative and collateral agent.
These facilities consisted of a $350.0 million revolving credit facility and a
$250.0 million term loan facility. The term loan facility consisted of a $125.0
million Tranche A Term Loan and a $125.0 million Tranche B Term Loan. Effective
July 28, 1998, the Company amended these facilities by increasing the Tranche B
Term Loan to $225.0 million. The increase occurred in conjunction with the
acquisition of Leshner, allowing the Company to fund the transaction and reduce
borrowings under the revolving credit facility.
As of June 30, 2001, the Company had $12.4 million in letters of credit
outstanding under the prepetition revolving credit facility. As these
prepetition letters of credit expire, to the extent they are renewed, they will
be reissued under the DIP Financing Facility.
As amended, amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility and the
Tranche A Term Loan currently bear interest at a rate based upon LIBOR plus
3.50%. The Tranche B Term Loan bears interest on a similar basis to the Tranche
A Term Loan, plus an additional margin of 0.50%. The weighted average annual
interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the various prepetition senior
credit facilities for the three months ended June 30, 2001 was 8.3% and 9.0% for
the six months ended June 30, 2001. The prepetition senior debt facilities
expire on January 31, 2002.
The senior debt facilities are guaranteed by each of the domestic subsidiaries
of the Company, and are secured by first priority liens on all of the capital
stock of each domestic subsidiary of the Company and by 65% of the capital stock
of the Company's foreign subsidiaries. The Company has also granted a first
priority security interest in all of its presently unencumbered and future
domestic assets and properties, and all presently unencumbered and future
domestic assets and properties of each of its subsidiaries.
Pursuant to the DIP Financing Order, the Bankruptcy Court authorized the Company
to make scheduled interest payments on the prepetition senior debt facilities.
Even though these payments are being made, the Company remains in default under
the prepetition senior debt facilities.
As of June 30, 2001, $150.0 million of the $641.2 million of the revolver and
term loan facilities had become subject to treatment as postpetition debt rather
than prepetition debt, as authorized by the DIP Financing Order.
OVERLINE FACILITY. In May 1999, the Company entered into the $20.0 million
Overline Facility in order to obtain additional working capital availability.
On July 27, 1999, the Overline Facility was amended to increase the amount of
funds available to $35.0 million and to secure it with the same assets securing
the senior debt facilities described above. The Overline Facility is guaranteed
on a senior basis by the Company's domestic subsidiaries. Amounts borrowed
under the Overline Facility bear interest at a rate based upon LIBOR plus 4.5%
or the base rate plus 3.0%, at the Company's option. The Overline Facility
matures upon termination by the Company at any time or otherwise at the earliest
of: (i) any increase in the commitment under the senior debt facilities
described above, the issuance of any capital stock by the Company or its
domestic subsidiaries, or other specified events; or (ii) January 31, 2002.
Pursuant to the DIP Financing Order, the Bankruptcy Court authorized the Company
to make scheduled interest payments on the Overline Facility. Even though these
payments are being made, the Company remains in default under the Overline
Facility.
SENIOR SUBORDINATED DEBT. In connection with the Fieldcrest Cannon acquisition,
the Company issued $185.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 9% Notes,
with interest payable semiannually commencing June 15, 1998.
32
The 9% Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company, are subordinated
in right of payment to all existing and future senior indebtedness, and rank
pari passu with the 10% Notes described below.
On November 12, 1996, the Company issued $125.0 million aggregate principal
amount of the 10% Notes, with interest payable semiannually commencing May 15,
1997. The 10% Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company, are
subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future senior indebtedness,
and rank pari passu with the 9% Notes.
The 9% Notes and the 10% Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior
subordinated basis by each of the existing and future domestic subsidiaries of
the Company and each other subsidiary of the Company that guarantees the
Company's obligations under the senior debt facilities described above. The
guarantees are subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future
senior indebtedness of the relevant guarantor.
The Company is in default under the indentures governing both the 9% Notes and
the 10% Notes. No principal or interest payment has been or will be made on the
9% Notes or the 10% Notes during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases.
FIELDCREST CANNON 6% CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES. As a result of the Company's
acquisition of Fieldcrest Cannon, the outstanding 6% Convertible Debentures are
convertible, at the option of the holders, into a combination of cash and Common
Stock. As of June 30, 2001, approximately $90.4 million aggregate principal
amount of the 6% Convertible Debentures remained outstanding. If all such
outstanding 6% Convertible Debentures were converted at such date, the resulting
cash component of the conversion consideration would have been approximately
$57.2 million.
Prior to the Petition Date, Fieldcrest Cannon issued certain non-interest
bearing subordinated promissory notes i.e., the Cash Claimant Notes, for the
unpaid cash portion of the conversion consideration owed to certain holders of
6% Convertible Debentures who had surrendered their debentures for conversion,
but had not been paid the cash portion of the conversion consideration. As of
June 30, 2001, the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Cash Claimant
Notes was $5.2 million.
The 6% Convertible Debentures and Cash Claimants Notes are general unsecured
obligations of Fieldcrest Cannon. Fieldcrest Cannon is in default under the
indenture governing the 6% Convertible Debentures and the Cash Claimant Notes.
No principal or interest payment has been or will be made on the 6% Convertible
Debentures or Cash Claimant Notes during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases.
INDUSTRIAL REVENUE BONDS. The Company has obligations in respect of four
industrial revenue bond facilities. The IRB Facilities are secured by liens on
specified plants and equipment. As of June 30, 2001, $13.9 million of bonds in
the aggregate were outstanding under the IRB Facilities.
On February 6, 2001, the Bankruptcy Court authorized the Company to make
scheduled principal and interest payments on the IRB Facilities. Even though
these payments are being made, the Company remains in default of its obligations
under each of the IRB Facilities.
ADEQUACY OF CAPITAL RESOURCES. As discussed above, the Debtors are operating
their businesses as debtors-in-possession under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
Code. In addition to the cash requirements necessary to fund ongoing
operations, the Company anticipates that it will continue to incur significant
professional fees and other restructuring costs in connection with the Chapter
11 Cases and the restructuring of its business operations. As a result of the
uncertainty surrounding the Company's current circumstances, it is difficult to
predict the Company's actual liquidity needs at this time. However, based on
current and anticipated levels of operations, and efforts to reduce inventories
and accounts receivable, the Company anticipates that its cash flow from
operations, together with amounts available under the DIP Financing Facility,
will be adequate to meet its anticipated cash requirements during the pendency
of the Chapter 11 Cases. In the event that cash flows and available borrowings
under the DIP Financing Facility are not sufficient to meet future cash
requirements, the Company may be required to reduce planned capital expenditures
or seek additional financing. The Company can provide no assurances that
reductions in planned capital expenditures would be sufficient to cover
shortfalls in available cash or that additional financing would be available or,
if available, offered on acceptable terms. As a result of the Chapter 11 Cases
33
and the circumstances leading to the filing thereof, the Company's access to
additional financing is, and for the foreseeable future will likely continue to
be, very limited. The Company's long-term liquidity requirements and the
adequacy of the Company's capital resources are difficult to predict at this
time, and ultimately cannot be determined until a plan of reorganization has
been developed and confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court in connection with the
Chapter 11 Cases.
In addition, the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements
included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report do not reflect adjustments to the
carrying value of assets or the amount and classification of liabilities that
ultimately may be necessary as the result of a plan of reorganization.
Adjustments necessitated by the confirmation of a plan of reorganization could
materially change the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements.
Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, prepetition obligations of the Debtors of
approximately $491.9 million as of June 30, 2001, including obligations under
debt instruments, generally may not be enforced against the Debtors, and any
actions to collect prepetition indebtedness are automatically stayed, unless the
stay is lifted by the Bankruptcy Court. In addition, as debtors-in-possession,
the Debtors have the right, subject to Bankruptcy Court approval and certain
other limitations, to assume or reject executory contracts and unexpired leases.
In this context, "assumption" means that the Debtors agree to perform their
obligations and cure all existing defaults under the contract or lease, and
"rejection" means that the Debtors are relieved from their obligations to
perform further under the contract or lease, but are subject to a claim for
damages for the breach thereof. Any damages resulting from rejection of
executory contracts and unexpired leases will be treated as general unsecured
claims in the Chapter 11 Cases unless such claims had been secured on a
prepetition basis prior to the Petition Date. The Debtors are in the process of
reviewing their executory contracts and unexpired leases and have received
approval from the Bankruptcy Court to reject certain contracts and leases. The
Debtors cannot presently determine what the ultimate liability will be for all
contracts and leases approved by the Bankruptcy Court for rejection, but the
estimated prepetition liability for those the Bankruptcy Court has already
approved is approximately $ 8.9 million, which was accrued in the second quarter
of 2001. The Company may be required to accrue additional liabilities as more
contracts and leases are approved for rejection by the Bankruptcy Court.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In May 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Emerging Issue Task
Force (EITF) issued EITF No. 00-14," Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives"
(EITF 00-14). EITF 00-14 addresses the recognition, measurement and income
statement classification for certain types of sales incentives offered by
vendors to their customers. The Company is required to adopt the provisions of
EITF 00-14 at the beginning of fiscal 2002, which commences December 30, 2001.
The Company is currently analyzing the impact of adopting EITF 00-14 on its
financial position and results of operations.
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No, 141,
"Business Combinations," and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets." SFAS 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for
all business combinations completed after June 30, 2001, and specifies criteria
for the recognition and reporting of intangible assets apart from goodwill.
Under SFAS No. 142, beginning December 30, 2001, the Company will no longer
amortize goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives, but instead will
test those assets for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets with
definite useful lives will be amortized over such lives to their estimated
residual values. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 142 on December 30,
2001. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of SFAS Nos. 141 and
142 and has not yet determined the effects of these changes on the Company's
financial position or results of operations.
