NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of presentation:
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule
10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating
results for the 13 weeks ended March 1, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending November 29,
2003. The balance sheet at November 30, 2002 has been derived from the audited
balance sheet at that date. The financial information included in the quarterly
report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements
and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended November 30, 2002.
The Company's Board of Directors has determined that it is in the best interests
of its stockholders to sell the Company's business as a going concern. In order
to maximize stockholder value, the Board of Directors adopted resolutions dated
March 1, 2002 which authorized, subject to stockholder approval, the sale of the
Company's business pursuant to a Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution (the
"Plan"). The Company's stockholders approved the Plan at the annual meeting on
May 30, 2002. The Plan provides the Company's officers and directors will
continue to operate the Company's business in its current fashion and pursue a
sale of the business as a going concern. The Company's Board of Directors has
approved the engagement of McFarland Dewey & Co., LLC financial advisors in
November 2002 to assist with the sale of the business. The accompanying
financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. There can be
no assurance, however, that the Company will be successful in selling its
business or if it does sell the business, that it will be able to recover full
value of its assets, particularly its property, plant and equipment. On May 30,
2002, the Company's Board of Directors declared an initial liquidating
distribution of $10.00 per share, which resulted in a payment to stockholders of
$52,380,000 in June 2002.
Pursuant to resolutions adopted by the Company's Board of Directors, upon
approval of the Plan by the stockholders on May 30, 2002, the Employee Stock
Ownership Plan (the "ESOP") was terminated and all shares of common stock of the
Company then held in the ESOP suspense account (86,456 shares) were transferred
to the Company, and held as treasury stock, in exchange for the cancellation of
the outstanding loan in the amount of $3,957,000 from the Company to the ESOP.
The Company recorded the related treasury stock at the fair market value on the
date of the termination, which resulted in a $2.4 million charge to additional
paid-in-capital.
Pursuant to resolutions adopted by the Company's Board of Directors and
documentation sent to and returned to the Company by option holders, effective
immediately following stockholder approval of the Plan on May 30, 2002, all
outstanding options under the Company's 1997 Stock Incentive Plan became vested,
and all options as to which optionees (including employees and directors) had
returned to the Company the appropriate forms (representing options held by all
but one optionee, who exercised via payment to the Company) were exercised
through the issuance of loans from the Company to the optionees, with stock of
the optionees held as collateral by the Company until the loans have been
satisfied. These loans receivable have been
(7)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
recorded as a reduction of stockholder's equity as of March 1, 2003. The
original amount of the loans issued to employees to exercise their options was
approximately $1,495,000, of which approximately $1,281,000 was repaid prior to
March 1, 2003. These options are subject to variable accounting at each
reporting period, until the related loans are repaid. As of March 1, 2003 the
balance of the loans outstanding was $214,000.
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
---------------------------------------------
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", the Company's
policy is to recognize all derivatives instruments as either assets or
liabilities on the balance sheet and to measure those instruments at market
value. SFAS No. 133 also requires the disclosure of certain other information
including a description of the instruments, objectives, strategies and risk
management policies for holding all derivatives (Notes 3 and 9).

During the three months ended March 1, 2003, the Company invested a portion of
their securities in equity consisting of a portfolio of Standard and Poor's 100
("S&P 100") common stocks, the fair value of which varies consistently with
changes in the S&P 100 index. To hedge against fluctuations in the market value
of the portfolio, the Company purchased short-term S & P 100 index put options
and sold short-term S & P 100 call options. At March 1, 2003 and November 30,
2002, the Company had no such investments, but may continue to invest in such
equity securities in the future.
(9)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3. Investment Securities (continued):
The Company has agreements with various brokerage firms to carry its account as
a customer. The brokers have custody of the Company's securities and, from time
to time, cash balances which may be due from these brokers. These securities
and/or cash positions serve as collateral for any amounts due to brokers or as
collateral for securities sold short or securities purchased on margin. The
securities and/or cash positions also serve as collateral for potential defaults
of the Company.
The Company is subject to credit risk if the brokers are unable to repay
balances due or deliver securities in their custody. By policy, the Company
limits the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution. The
Company has received confirmation indicating that, with respect to investment
securities, each custodian with the exception of one custodian maintains
appropriate insurance coverage. During fiscal 2002 and the three months ended
March 1, 2003, that custodian had approximately $10 million, respectively, of
the Company's cash under investment which from time to time during such periods
was invested entirely in equity securities. At March 1, 2003, that custodian had
approximately $10 million of the Company's cash under investments, which were
all invested in U.S. Treasury obligations. The Company's investment policy
currently permits up to 25% of the Company's portfolio to include equity
securities.
4. Inventories:
The Company's inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined principally by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method with the
remainder being determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Because the
inventory valuation under the LIFO method is based upon an annual determination
of inventory levels and costs as of the fiscal year-end, the interim LIFO
calculations are based on management's estimates of expected year-end inventory
levels and costs.

5. Loss Per Share:
Basic and diluted loss per share for the 13 weeks ended March 1, 2003
and March 2, 2002 are calculated as follows:
WEIGHTED
AVERAGE
COMMON
NET SHARES PER-SHARE

For the 13 weeks ended March 2, 2002:
Basic and diluted loss per share ($677,000) 5,209,355 ($0.13)
========= ========= ======
There were no options outstanding during the 13 weeks ended March 1, 2003. All
options outstanding during the 13 weeks ended March 2, 2002 were not included in
the computation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would be
anti-dilutive.
6. Comprehensive Loss:
Accumulated other comprehensive loss is comprised of unrealized holding gain
(loss) related to available-for-sale securities. Comprehensive loss was $28,000
and $711,000 for the 13 weeks ended March 1, 2003 and March 2, 2002,
respectively.
7. Contingencies:
A number of claims and lawsuits seeking unspecified damages and other relief are
pending against the Company. It is impossible at this time for the Company to
predict with any certainty the outcome of such litigation. However, management
is of the opinion based upon information presently available, that it is
unlikely that any liability, to the extent not provided for through insurance or
otherwise, would be material in relation to the Company's consolidated financial
position and results of operations.
(11)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
8. New Accounting Standards:
In July 2002, the FASB issued FAS 146 "Accounting for Restructuring Costs". FAS
146 applies to costs associated with an exit activity (including restructuring)
or with a disposal of long-lived assets. Those activities can include
eliminating or reducing product lines, terminating employees and contracts, and
relocating plant facilities or personnel. Under FAS 146, a company will record a
liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity when that
liability is incurred and can be measured at fair value. FAS 146 will require a
company to disclose information about its exit and disposal activities, the
related costs, and changes in those costs in the notes to the interim and annual
financial statements that include the period in which an exit activity is
initiated and in any subsequent period until the activity is completed. FAS 146
is effective prospectively for exit or disposal activities initiated after
December 31, 2002, with an earlier adoption encouraged. Under FAS 146, a company
may not restate its previously issued financial statements and the new statement
grandfathers the accounting for liabilities that a company had previously
recorded under Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 94-3. The Company does not
expect this statement to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In December 2002, the FASB issued FAS No. 148 "Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - an amendment of FAS 123". This
Statement amends FAS 123, " Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" to provide
alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based
method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this
Statement amends the disclosure requirements of Statement 123 to require
prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the
method used on reported results. The Statement has varying effective dates
commencing with interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002.
9. Derivative Financial Instruments Held or Issued:
The Company is party to equity option contracts as part of its investing
activities. Option contracts are contractual agreements that give the purchaser
the right, but not the obligation, to purchase or sell a financial instrument at
a predetermined exercise price. In return for this right, the purchaser pays a
premium to the seller of the option. By selling or writing options, the Company
receives a premium and becomes obligated during the term of the option to
purchase or sell a financial instrument at a predetermined exercise price if the
option is exercised, and assumes the risk of not being able to enter into a
closing transaction if a liquid secondary market does not exist. As of March 1,
2003, the Company had no equity option contracts. During the 13 weeks ended
March 1, 2003, the Company was a party to equity option contracts from time to
time.
(12)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
10. Segment Information:
The Company adopted SFAS No. 131 "Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information" in fiscal 1999. SFAS No. 131 requires companies to report
information on segments using the way management organizes segments within the
company for making operating decisions and assessing financial performance.
The Company's chief operating decision-maker is considered to be the Chief
Executive Officer (CEO). The Company's CEO evaluates both consolidated and
disaggregated financial information in deciding how to allocate resources and
assess performance. The Company has identified three reportable segments based
upon the primary markets it serves: Apparel Fabrics, Home Fashions and
Accessories and Other.
Apparel Fabrics: The Company is a major manufacturer of warp and circular knit
fabrics and raschel laces. The Company's textile fabrics are sold to a wide
variety of manufacturers of ready-to-wear and intimate apparel for men, women,
and children, including dresses and sportswear, children's sleepwear,
activewear, swimwear, and recreational apparel.
Home Fashions and Accessories: While sales primarily to manufacturers of home
furnishings, the Company uses its our own textile fabrics internally to produce
flannel and satin sheets, blanket products, comforters, and other bedding
products which it sells to specialty stores, catalogue and mail order companies,
airlines and cruise lines, and health care institutions.
Other: The Company produces a line of ultrasonically, hot melt adhesive, flame
and adhesive bonded products for apparel, environmental, health care, industrial
and consumer markets. The Company's textile fabrics are sold to manufacturers
servicing the residential and contract markets. The Company also sells fabrics
to vendors in the over the counter markets.
The Company neither allocates to the segments nor bases segment decisions on the
following:
- Interest and dividend income
- Interest and other expense
- Net gain on investment securities
- Income tax expense (benefit)
Many of the Company's assets are used by multiple segments. While certain assets
such as Inventory and Property, Plant and Equipment are identifiable by segment,
an allocation of the substantial remaining assets is not meaningful.
The 13 weeks ended March 2, 2002 include a litigation settlement in the amount
of $750,000 which is included in the Home Fashions and Accessories Segment (see
Note 11).

11. Other:
During the fall of 1999, San Francisco Network ("SFN") commenced an action in
the Superior Court of California, Marin County, against the Company and the
Company's Salisbury Manufacturing Corporation ("Salisbury") subsidiary. The
action related to an agreement between SFN and Salisbury (whose performance the
Company guaranteed), pursuant to which Salisbury was licensed to use the Karen
Neuburger trademark for branded bedding products. The case was removed to the
United States District of California. Salisbury and the Company denied any
wrongdoing and asserted affirmative claims against SFN and certain of its
principals. On March 14, 2002, at a court-ordered conference, the Company,
settled this issue without admitting liability. On April 12, 2002, the Company
paid SFN $750,000 in exchange for a complete release of all claims, which was
included in other expense and other current liabilities at March 2, 2002.

STOCK REPURCHASE
The Company has an agreement with the Chairman of the Board of Directors and
Chief Executive Officer which provides that, in the event of the Chairman's
death, his estate has the option to sell, and the Company the obligation to
purchase, certain stock owned by the Chairman. The amount of stock subject to
purchase is equal to the lesser of $7 million or 10% of the book value of the
Company at the end of the year immediately prior to his death, plus the $3
million proceeds from insurance on his life for which the Company is the
beneficiary. The agreement extends automatically from year to year unless either
party gives notice of cancellation at least six months prior to the then current
expiration date. The current expiration date is March 2004. As a result of this
feature, $7 million has been classified as redeemable common stock, for all
periods presented.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
Results of Operations
First Quarter
FISCAL 2003 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2002
-----------------------------------
Net sales for the first quarter 2003 were $11,587,000 as compared to
$14,250,000 in the similar 2002 period, a decrease of $2,663,000 or 18.7%. Such
decreases were caused substantially by lower volume as business conditions
within the domestic textile industry remain depressed. The continued influx of
low-cost foreign imports has also taken a sustained toll in the U.S.
manufacturing sector. These factors have negatively impacted sales and
production. These conditions have to date continued into the second quarter.
Gross margins as a percentage of sales declined from 8.3% to 7.9%.
Lower sales volume reduced operating schedules at production facilities. In the
current quarter and in the comparative 2002 period no adjustments to LIFO
inventory reserves were required.
Selling, general and administrative expenses in the current quarter
decreased by $744,000 or 31.4%. The decrease in expenses resulted primarily from
the reduction in the number of employees and related expenses, moving executive
offices and showroom facilities to smaller premises and the continued
effectiveness of the cost containment programs.
In March 2002, the Company settled a dispute without admitting
liability for $750,000. See note 11 to the condensed consolidated financial
statements.
Interest and dividend income for the current quarter decreased by
$550,000 or 61.3% as compared to first quarter 2002. On June 24, 2002, the
Company distributed an initial liquidating distribution of $10.00 per share, or
$52,380,000. Accordingly, the Company had lower average invested balances which
were invested primarily in United States Treasury obligations resulting in lower
risks and lower yields. In the first quarter of 2003, the Company realized
losses from the sale of investment securities of $29,000, compared to realized
gains of $95,000 in last year's first quarter.
The Company had realized a tax benefit for the current quarter, which
had an effective tax rate of 31.6% as compared to a tax benefit of 29.0% in last
years first quarter 2002.
As a result of these factors, The Company had a net loss of $270,000 or
$0.05 loss per share, compared to a net loss of $677,000 or $0.13 loss per share
in last year's first quarter 2002.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash used in operating activities amounted to $687,000 in the first
quarter 2003 compared to $2,698,000 provided by operations for the comparative
2002 period. Of this decrease, $475,000 relates to comparative changes to
accounts receivable, $2,251,000 to inventories, $1,000,000 to accounts payable
and other current liabilities. These decreases were offset by $407,000 in
comparative changes in net loss.
(16)
In the first quarter 2003, net acquisitions of investment securities
were $255,000 as compared to net acquisitions of $841,000 in the comparative
2002 period.
Stockholders' equity was $64,550,000 ($12.32 book value per share) at
March 1, 2003, as compared to $64,571,000 ($12.33 book value per share) at the
previous fiscal year end November 30, 2002 and $112,761,000 ($21.65 book value
per share) at the end of the comparative 2002 first quarter. The reduction in
stockholders' equity from the first quarter 2002 was primarily due to the
liquidating dividend of $10.00 per share or $52,380,000 declared on May 30, 2002
by the Company's Board of Directors, which was paid on June 24, 2002.
Management believes that the Company's current financial position is
adequate to satisfy working capital requirements and to internally fund any
future expenditures to maintain our manufacturing facilities for the next twelve
months.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The
critical accounting policies that affect the Company's more complex judgments
and estimates are described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended November 30, 2002.
