PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
An integral part of the Company's strategy during the past two years has been
to restructure its operations and expand into floorcovering. Today, the
Company operates in two business segments - Textile products and Floorcovering -
with approximately half of its sales in each segment. Prior to the acquisitions
of Carriage and Masland in 1993, the Company's single line of business, textile
products, included the Company's Candlewick carpet yarn operations. With the
expansion into the floorcovering business, the Company's carpet yarn operations
are now included in the floorcovering segment. Financial information relating
to the Company's business segments have been restated for all periods presented
and are set forth in Note (O) to the Company's consolidated financial
statements.
TEXTILES
TEXTILE INDUSTRY - The domestic textile industry manufactures products for a
variety of end uses, including home furnishings (domestics, drapery and
upholstery), industrial products, transportation applications and apparel. The
industry, which encompasses yarn preparation, fabric formation and product
distribution, is structured with various degrees of vertical integration,
depending upon the particular products involved. The textile industry is made
up of a great number of companies, none of which are believed to have sales
that comprise as much as 10% of the total market.
The domestic apparel market, which includes a substantial portion of the
customers for the Company's products, is continually faced with competition
from imports; however, management believes that implementation of the North
American Free Trade Agreement may increase demand for domestic textile
products by continuing to encourage utilization of such products by
non-domestic cut and sew operations. Additionally, management believes
consumer buying patterns continue to be influenced by mass merchandisers and
retailers emphasizing price competition for value-added products. The
domestic textile industry also services the home furnishing and other
industries in a number of applications which are impacted by housing sales as
well as by domestic automotive production levels.
THE COMPANY'S TEXTILE PRODUCTS - The Company manufactures and markets yarns,
threads and knit fabrics from a variety of natural and man-made fibers.
Textile products are primarily sold to manufacturers of apparel, domestics,
drapery and upholstery, hosiery, industrial fabrics, transportation and other
industries.
The Company produces a wide variety of products, with a significant focus on
high-end value added products. Although the textile products business is
organized into three business groups, substantial sales and customer overlap
exists among the groups. Textile products are focused on narrow groups of
products, related by manufacturing processes, performance qualities and end
uses. No group of such products individually accounts for as much as 10% of
Dixie's consolidated revenues for 1993, 1992 or 1991 and no customer's volume
exceeded 10 percent of the Company's total sales for 1993.
The Company's Yarn Group ("Yarn Group") is comprised of the Natural and Dyed
Yarn Group and the Synthetics Yarn Group. Products produced and marketed
through these groups include ring spun, open end and air jet single and plied
yarns which are sold to manufacturers of premium-price apparel, high-end home
furnishings, and industrial products. A portion of the yarn produced by the
yarn spinning facilities is further processed by the Company's mercerizing and
package dyeing facilities. Cotton is the primary fiber for both natural, and
mercerized and package dyed markets served. Other markets served include
products manufactured from man-made (synthetics) fibers, many of which are high
technology fibers that impart strength, heat resistance, stretch and/or
characteristics relating to comfort and insulation properties. Natural, dyed
and synthetic yarns are marketed through a combination of salaried sales force
and, to a lesser extent, commissioned sales agents.
The Company's Industrial Sewing Thread Group ("Threads USA") is one of three
major domestic manufacturers and marketers of industrial sewing thread, with a
full line of products that includes cotton, spun polyester, corespun and
filament threads. Thread products are sold directly by the Company's sales
personnel through an extensive regional warehouse network as well as to
independent wholesale jobbers.
The Company's Knit Fabric Group ("Caro Knit") knits, dyes and finishes 100
percent cotton circular knit fabrics for apparel and industrial markets. A
majority of the yarn used for the production of the knit fabric is supplied by
the Company's yarn facilities. Knit products are sold primarily by its own
salaried sales force.
The Company's sales order backlog position in its textile products business was
approximately $79,000,000 on December 25, 1993 compared to approximately
$102,000,000 on December 26, 1992. All of these orders can reasonably be
expected to be filled within the 1994 fiscal year.
Although the competition faced by the Company's textile business varies
depending on the markets involved, a substantial portion of the Company's
products in the Company's domestic textile products business is faced with
competition from imports.
The Company owns a number of patents used in its textile business, and patent
protection is sought as a matter of course when machinery or process
improvements are made that are considered patentable. However, in the opinion
of the Company, its textile operations are not materially dependent upon
patents and patent applications.
FLOORCOVERING
THE CARPET INDUSTRY - The carpet industry is composed of approximately 100
manufacturers of which the top 5 account for over 50% of total sales in the
industry. The industry has two primary markets, residential and commercial,
with the residential market making up the largest portion of industry's sales.
A substantial portion of industry shipments is made in response to replacement
demand. The residential market consists of broadloom carpets, rugs and
bathmats in a broad range of styles, colors, textures and yarns. The carpet
industry also manufactures carpet for the automotive, recreational vehicle and
recreational boat industries.
The carpet industry is highly competitive with competition principally from 100
domestic manufacturers of carpets and rugs. Carpet manufacturers also face
competition from the hard surface floorcovering industry. The principal
methods of competition within the carpet industry are quality, style, price
and service.
THE COMPANY'S FLOORCOVERING BUSINESS - The Company's floorcovering business
manufactures and markets carpet yarns and floorcovering products for specialty
markets through Candlewick Yarns ("Candlewick"), Carriage Industries, Inc.
("Carriage") and Masland Carpet, Inc. ("Masland").
Candlewick is one of the world's largest independent carpet yarn
manufacturers. Its customers include end-use product manufacturers in the
bath rug, automotive and broadloom carpet markets. Candlewick is a producer
of premier yarns for floorcovering applications. It competes through product
quality and innovation. Its product development center and relationships
with fiber suppliers have been developed to provide customers a means to
evaluate yarn and fiber variations. Candlewick has a significant share of
the bath rug yarn market due to the breadth of its product line, service
capabilities, quality and history of innovation. Products of Candlewick are
marketed through its own salaried sales force.
Carriage is a vertically integrated carpet manufacturer serving specialized
markets. Its highly diversified markets include: original equipment
manufacturers of manufactured housing, recreational vehicles, and small boats;
the exposition/trade show market; contract/residential market; and the home
center/needlebond market. Carriage's manufacturing operations include yarn
extrusion, yarn processing,tufting, needlebonding, dyeing, finishing and
finished product transportation through its own trucking fleet. Its product
line is marketed by a staff of salaried sales personnel and to a lesser extent
commission sales representatives.
Carriage competes only in selected portions of the floorcovering market.
Competition is based not only on price, but also on quality of goods, customer
service and reputation for reliability. The Company has developed a broad
array of specialized products of varying styles, widths, colors and backing.
Rapid, just-in-time delivery of customer orders is an important part of the
Company's customer service program. The Company controls delivery of its
products through its trucking fleet of 68 tractor-trailers and utilization of
regional distribution centers for finished goods.
Masland markets broadloom products for specification by the architectural and
design communities and residential carpet and designer rugs to a select group
in interior design showrooms and high-end specialty retailers. Each of the
markets served require quality, service, innovation in styling and product
design. Competition within its business is based primarily on quality,
service and styling, with price becoming an increasingly important factor,
particularly in the Company's contract business.
The Company's sales order backlog position in its floorcovering business was
approximately $37,000,000 on December 25, 1993 compared to approximately
$24,000,000 on December 26, 1992. All of these orders can reasonably be
expected to be filled within the 1994 fiscal year.
The Company's floorcovering business owns a variety of trademarks under which
its products, particularly those sold by Masland, are marketed. While such
trademarks are important to Masland's business, there is no one trademark,
other than the name Masland itself, which is of material importance to the
segment.
There was no single class of products exceeding 10 percent of the Company's
sales volume for 1993, 1992 or 1991 and no customer's volume exceeded 10
percent of the Company's total sales for 1993.
SEASONALITY
Within the varied markets serviced by the Company, there are a number of
seasonal production cycles, but the Company's business as a whole is not
considered to be significantly affected by seasonal factors. Correspondingly,
there appear to be no material impacts on working capital relating to
seasonality or other business dynamics.
ENVIRONMENTAL
While compliance with current federal, state and local provisions regulating
the discharge of material into the environment may require additional
expenditures by the Company, these expenditures are not expected to have a
material effect on capital expenditures, earnings or the competitive position of
the Company.
RAW MATERIALS
The Company obtains natural and synthetic raw materials from a number of
domestic suppliers. Cotton fiber is purchased at market rates from numerous
cotton merchants and directly from cotton growing cooperatives under short-term
supply contracts at costs which are significant factors in the Company's
pricing
of its products. Man-made fibers are purchased from major chemical suppliers.
Although the Company's procurement of raw materials is subject to variations in
price and availability due to agricultural and other market conditions and in
the price of petroleum used to produce man-made fibers, the Company believes
that its sources of raw materials are adequate and that it is not materially
dependent on any single supplier.
UTILITIES
The Company uses electricity as its principal energy source, with oil or
natural gas used in some facilities for finishing operations as well as
heating. During the past five years the Company has not experienced any
material problems in obtaining electricity, natural gas or oil at
anticipated prices. Nevertheless, energy shortages of extended duration
could have an adverse effect on the Company's operations.
The Company had approximately 7,300 associates as of the end of fiscal 1993.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
GENERAL
An integral part of the Company's strategy has been to restructure its textile
operations and expand into floorcovering. Today, the Company operates in two
business segments - Textile products and Floorcovering - with approximately
half of its sales in each segment.
Restructuring - During the latter part of 1991, the Company accrued the
estimated cost to restructure its operations of approximately $28.3 million
($18.3 million after-tax) and began implementation of a plan to reduce costs in
its operations by consolidating manufacturing facilities and expanding to seven-
day scheduled operations. Cost of the restructuring incurred through 1993,
consisted of approximately $13.5 million to write-down certain assets to
estimated fair market value, approximately $3.2 million for severance payments
and approximately $11.1 million for other direct costs of the restructuring.
Five smaller manufacturing facilities were closed and one was sold. Production
and equipment from the discontinued facilities were consolidated into larger,
more efficient units and virtually every textile and carpet yarn facility was
impacted by the restructuring. Disruptions associated with product and
machinery changes had a negative impact on operating profits, particularly in
1993. Substantially all of the planned changes have been completed; however,
additional costs are anticipated in 1994 until operations reach planned
efficiency levels.
Expansion into floorcovering - The carpet industry has been consolidating for a
number of years and the Company intends to participate in the industry's
consolidation by acquiring carpet companies that serve specialty markets. The
acquisition of Carriage Industries, Inc. was completed on March 12, 1993 and
Masland Carpets, Inc. was acquired on July 9, 1993. Both Carriage and Masland
produce floorcovering products for specialty markets. Carriage is a vertically
integrated manufacturer of specialized floorcovering for the manufactured
housing, recreational vehicle and small boat industries, the exposition/trade
show market, the contract/residential market, and the home center/needlebond
market. Masland manufactures high-end residential and contract commercial
carpet and designer rugs for interior designers, architects and specialty
retailers.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
1993 Compared with 1992 - Sales for the year ended December 25, 1993 increased
approximately 27%. The increase in 1993 sales is attributable to the Company's
floorcovering business, which now includes the Company's carpet yarn
manufacturing operations and subsequent to their 1993 acquisitions, the
operations of Carriage Industries, Inc. and Masland Carpets, Inc.. The dollar
volume of sales of the Company's textile products declined 4.5% in 1993,
although unit volume increased. The decline in sales of textile products is
attributable to weak retail apparel markets and the sale of a dyed yarn
facility in the first quarter of 1993.
Net income was $4.5 million, or $.41 per share, in 1993 compared with $5.5
million, or $.62 per share, in 1992. Operating income for 1993 was 9.2% of
sales in the Company's floorcovering business and .5% of sales for textile
products, compared with 6.4% and 4.4%, respectively, in 1992. In addition to
the 1993 acquisitions, floorcovering enjoyed strong growth and favorable
conditions in the markets it serves throughout 1993. The decrease in operating
profits for textile products in 1993 is principally due to weak demand for
apparel products and raw material price increases that could not be passed
along to customers resulting in price and margin erosion, particularly in the
third and fourth quarters of 1993. Disruptions associated with production and
operating consolidations have had a negative impact on profits of the Company's
textile business.
The increase in gross profits and selling, general and administrative expenses
as a percent of sales in 1993 reflects the traditional higher margins and
higher selling and product distribution costs associated with the specialized
floorcovering markets serviced by Carriage and Masland.
The increase in other income in 1993 is principally the result of approximately
$1.8 million of storm insurance proceeds and gains from assets disposals.
Interest expense increased in 1993 due to the higher levels of debt. The
Company's effective income tax rate differs from the statutory income tax rates
due primarily to nondeductible amortization of intangible assets. Also in
1993, a non-cash income tax charge of approximately $.5 million, or $.04 per
share, resulted from the effect of the increase in the statutory federal
income tax rate on deferred income taxes established in prior years.
During the first quarter of 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" and changed its
method of accounting for income taxes to the liability method. In connection
with the change in method of accounting, financial statements for periods
subsequent to 1986 were restated as if the new method had been in effect during
those periods. The effect of the change was to decrease 1992 net income by
approximately $.2 million, or $.03 per share, and increase the 1991 net loss by
approximately $.2 million, or $.02 per share.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment
Benefits," which requires, under certain conditions, the adoption of accrual
accounting for postemployment benefits no later than 1994. The Company
sponsors no such plans and the new standard is not expected to affect the
Company's financial statements.
1992 Compared with 1991 - Dollar sales decreased in 1992 although unit volume
increased. The decrease in dollar volume of sales was attributable to the
Company's textile products business, which declined in 1992 due to the effect
of adverse economic conditions in high-end markets and a greater portion of
unit sales consisting of lower priced products. Operating profits, excluding
the effect of the restructuring charge in 1991, increased in both the Company's
floorcovering and textile products segments increased as a result of reductions
in raw materials costs, manufacturing costs, and selling, general and
administrative expenses.
Interest expense decreased in 1992 due to lower interest rates. The Company's
effective income tax rate differs from the statutory income tax rate due
primarily to nondeductible amortization of intangible assets.
Net income for 1991 was negatively impacted by an $18.3 million after-tax
charge to record the estimated cost of product and facility consolidations
associated with the planned restructuring of operations and a $1.5 million
after-tax charge for the cumulative effect of the change in method of
accounting for postretirement benefits other than pensions when Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 106 was adopted.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the three year period ended December 25, 1993, funds generated from
operating activities totaled $117.2 million and funds raised through additional
long-term debt amounted to $56.4 million. These cash flows funded the
Company's operations, capital expenditures, and cash used in business
acquisitions.
Funds generated from operating activities (including $45 million from the sale
of accounts receivables) were $60.2 million in 1993 and were supplemented by
$16.5 million of additional senior indebtedness and $9.2 million (exclusive of
insurance proceeds) from the disposal of assets. These funds financed, among
other things, $38.8 million of capital expenditures (exclusive of storm and
fire related expenditures), the retirement of $36.3 million of debt and
expenses related to acquisitions, and dividend payments.
On March 13, 1993 a severe winter storm damaged a substantial portion of
Carriage's manufacturing facilities, and in August 1993, a fire destroyed
Bretlin's Chatsworth, Georgia needlebond facility. Carriage and Bretlin have
substantially completed the rebuilding of their damaged facilities.
Expenditures to replace or repair damaged facilities, costs, and certain losses
associated with the storm and fire were approximately $33.5 million in 1993.
Both losses were covered by insurance. Through the end of 1993, insurance
reimbursements of approximately $28.1 million had been received. Although the
insurance recovery for the storm and fire damage has not been concluded,
coverage continues to appear adequate.
Capital expenditures were approximately 128% of depreciation and amortization
expenses during the three year period ended December 25, 1993 and were directed
toward upgrading equipment, improving quality, and providing for greater
production efficiency and flexibility.
Capital expenditures for 1994 are expected to be below the level of
depreciation and amortization expenses and will be concentrated in the
Company's floorcovering business.
The Company acquired approximately 46% of the outstanding common stock of
Carriage Industries, Inc. in 1992 for $27.4 million cash and acquired
Carriage's remaining, publicly-held shares on March 12, 1993 in exchange for
approximately 2.5 million shares of the Company Common Stock, options to
purchase approximately .1 million shares of the Company's Common Stock, and
approximately $.7 million cash. On July 9, 1993, the assets of Masland
Carpets, Inc. were acquired in exchange for approximately 1.0 million shares
of the Company's Common Stock, $1.1 million cash, and the assumption of
approximately $.8 million of debt. The holders of the shares issued in the
Masland acquisition have the right, after two years, to put the shares to the
Company at a price of approximately $18 per share.
In October 1993, the Company entered into a seven-year agreement to sell an
undivided interest in a revolving pool of its trade accounts receivable. At
December 25, 1993, a $45,000,000 interest had been sold under this agreement,
and the sale is reflected as a reduction of accounts receivable. The cost of
this program are based upon rating agencies' assessment of the quality of the
receivables pool and the purchasers' level of investment and are fixed at 6.08%
per annum plus administrative fees typical in such transactions. In addition,
the Company is generally responsible for credit losses associated with sold
receivables.
At December 25, 1993, the Company's debt structure consisted of $44.8 million
of convertible subordinated debentures, $ 50.0 million of subordinated notes,
and $86.5 million of senior indebtedness, principally under a revolving
credit and term loan agreement. The convertible subordinated debentures
require mandatory sinking fund payments beginning in 1998. Payments are not
required under the Company's subordinated notes until 2000. The revolving
credit and term loan agreement provides revolving credit up to $125.0 million
until September 30, 1995, at which time the outstanding balance, at the
Company's election, may be converted into a term loan payable in semi-annual
installments over five years. At year-end, the available unused borrowing
capacity under the agreement was approximately $38.5 million.
The Company's future liquidity requirements are expected to consist primarily
of capital expenditures, seasonal working capital requirements, and funds
necessary to finance the Company's expansion in the floorcovering business.
These liquidity requirements are expected to be financed from operating cash
flows, existing credit arrangements, issuance of capital stock, and public or
private debt.

Report of Independent Auditors
Board of Directors
Dixie Yarns, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Dixie
Yarns, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 25, 1993 and December 26, 1992, and
the related consolidated statements of income (loss), stockholders' equity, and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 25, 1993.
Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index
at Item 14(a). These financial statements and schedules are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements and schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position
of Dixie Yarns, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 25, 1993 and December 26,
1992, and the consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 25, 1993, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related
financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material
respects the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Note (H) to the consolidated financial statements, in 1993
the Company changed its method of accounting for income taxes.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Dixie Yarns, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the
"Company"). Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
Cash Equivalents: Highly liquid investments with original maturities of three
months or less when purchased are reported as cash equivalents.
Credit and Market Risk: The Company sells products primarily to manufacturers
located throughout the United States who produce products for a wide variety of
end users. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers
and generally does not require collateral. An allowance for doubtful
accounts is maintained at a level which management believes is sufficient to
cover potential credit losses. The Company invests its excess cash in short-
term investments and has not experienced any losses on those investments.
Inventories: Substantially all inventories are stated at cost determined by
the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method, which is less than market.
Inventories are summarized as follows:
1993 1992
At current cost:
Raw materials $ 25,274,771 $ 19,619,417
Work-in-process 24,602,923 15,662,366
Finished goods 62,664,139 41,338,244
Supplies, repair parts and other 9,792,498 10,329,674
122,334,331 86,949,701
Excess of current cost over LIFO value (16,524,443) (19,863,374)
$105,809,888 $67,086,327
During 1993 and 1992, the reduction of certain inventory quantities resulted in
liquidations of LIFO inventory quantities carried at lower costs prevailing in
prior years. The effect of these reductions was to increase net income by
approximately $350,000 ($.03 per share) and $506,000 ($.06 per share) for 1993
and 1992, respectively.
Property, Plant and Equipment: Provision for depreciation and amortization of
property, plant and equipment has been computed using the straight-line method
for financial reporting purposes and in accordance with the applicable
statutory recovery methods for tax purposes. Depreciation and amortization
of property, plant and equipment for financial reporting purposes totaled
$29,245,367 in 1993, $23,712,953 in 1992, and $22,847,307 in 1991. When
events occur that change the extent or manner in which long-lived assets are
used, such as a restructuring of the Company's operations, evidence of
physical defects, or technological obsolescence, such impaired assets are
written down to their estimated fair market value. If such assets are
permanently taken out of service, they are no longer depreciated.
DIXIE YARNS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Intangible Assets: The excess of the purchase price over the fair market value
of identifiable net assets acquired in business combinations is being amortized
using the straight-line method over 40 years. The carrying value of goodwill
will be reviewed if the facts and circumstances suggest that it may be
impaired. Impairment will be measured, and goodwill reduced, for any
deficiency of estimated cash flows during the amortization period related to
the business acquired.
Income Taxes: The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," in 1993. See Note (H).
Earnings per Share: Primary earnings per common and common equivalent share is
computed using the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding and includes the effects of Class B Common Stock and the
potentially dilutive effects of the exercise of stock options and the put
option. Fully-diluted earnings per share reflects the maximum potential
dilution of per share earnings which would have occurred assuming the
exercise of stock options, the put option, and the conversion of
subordinated debentures into shares of Common Stock. For 1993, 1992 and
1991, the additional dilution computed was less than 3%.
Revenue recognition: The Company recognizes revenue at the time title passes
to the customer.
Postemployment Benefits: The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112 "Employers' Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits," which requires, under certain conditions, the
adoption of accrual accounting for postemployment benefits no later than
1994. The Company sponsors no such plans and the new standard is not
expected to affect the Company's financial statements.
Reclassifications: In order to conform to the 1993 presentation, certain
operating group expenses for 1992 and 1991 which had previously been reported
as cost of sales, were reclassified to selling, general and administrative
expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income (loss). In
addition, corporate expenses have been segregated from selling, general and
administrative expenses.
NOTE B - BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
On September 4, 1992, the Company acquired approximately 46% of the outstanding
shares of Carriage Industries, Inc. ("Carriage") for $27,400,446 cash ($13.25
per share plus expenses) and on March 12, 1993 acquired the remaining shares of
Carriage. The Company issued 2,472,884 shares of its Common Stock, options to
purchase 83,044 shares of its Common Stock, and approximately $661,000 cash in
exchange for the remaining shares and options for shares of Carriage. The
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase effective March 12, 1993, and
accordingly, the results of operations and accounts of Carriage subsequent to
March 12, 1993 are included in the Company's consolidated financial
statements. The total purchase price of $63,685,083 (the Company's initial
cash investment in Carriage, expenses of the acquisition, and the estimated
fair value of the Company's Common Stock and options exchanged) was allocated
to the net tangible assets of Carriage based on the estimated fair market
values of the assets acquired. As required by the purchase method of
accounting, the excess amount of the purchase price over the fair market
value of Carriage's net tangible assets was recorded as an intangible asset
and is being amortized using the straight-line method over 40 years.
On July 9, 1993, the Company acquired the operating assets and liabilities of
Masland Carpets, Inc. ("Masland") in exchange for 1,029,446 shares of the
Company's Common Stock, approximately $1,100,000 cash, and the assumption of
$750,000 of debt. The Common Stock was issued subject to an agreement which
provides certain registration rights respecting the Common Stock, as well as
the right, after two years, to put the shares to the Company at a price of
$18.06 per share (reduced by dividends paid). The acquisition was accounted
for as a purchase effective July 9, 1993, and accordingly, the results of
operations and accounts of Masland subsequent to July 9, 1993 are included in
the Company's consolidated financial statements. The total purchase price of
$19,622,192 (cash paid, expenses of the acquisition, and estimated fair value
of the Company's Common Stock issued subject to put option) was allocated to
the net tangible assets of Masland based on the estimated fair market values
of the assets acquired.
A summary of net assets acquired is as follows:
Carriage Masland
Current assets $ 49,865,747 $ 16,316,797
Property, plant and equipment 53,440,710 11,748,152
Other assets 4,618,971 76,181
Current liabilities (26,802,995) (7,072,437)
Long-term debt (27,222,687) (450,000)
Other liabilities and deferred taxes (12,326,472) (1,553,215)
Intangible asset 21,699,203 ---
Net Assets Acquired Excluding Cash 63,272,477 19,065,478
Cash 412,606 556,714
Net Assets Acquired $63,685,083 $19,622,192
The following unaudited pro forma summary presents the consolidated results of
operations as if the acquisitions of Carriage and Masland had occurred at the
beginning of each period presented after giving effect to certain adjustments,
including amortization of cost in excess of net tangible assets acquired,
interest expense on debt to finance the acquisitions and related income taxes.
The pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and do
not purport to be indicative of the results that would have occurred had the
acquisitions occurred at the beginning of the periods presented or of results
which may occur in the future.
1993 1992
Net sales $641,950,000 $637,680,000
Income from continuing operations 6,218,000 8,628,000
Net income (1) 6,218,000 4,099,000
Per common and common equivalent share:
Income from continuing operations .49 .67
Net income (1) .49 .32
(1) Net income for the fiscal year ended December 26, 1992 includes losses of
$3,537,000 after taxes ($.28 per share) on operations of and disposal of a
Carriage segment held for sale and a loss of $992,000 after taxes ($.08 per
share) to record the cumulative effect of the adoption of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 106,"Employers Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions" by Masland.
Prior to the merger, the Company's initial investment in Carriage was accounted
for by the equity method. Accordingly, net income for 1993 and 1992 includes
the Company's proportionate share of Carriage's earnings for periods prior to
the merger of approximately $320,000 and $538,000 after taxes, respectively.
Condensed unaudited historical financial information of Carriage at and for the
twelve months ended December 27, 1992 and December 29, 1991 is summarized as
follows:
1992 1991
Income statement information:
Net sales $133,363,000 $105,976,000

NOTE C --SALE OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
In October 1993, the Company entered into a seven-year agreement to sell an
undivided interest in a revolving pool of its trade accounts receivable. At
December 25, 1993, a $45,000,000 interest had been sold under this agreement,
reflected as a reduction of accounts receivable in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets. The costs of this program, which were
approximately $570,000 in 1993, are based upon rating agencies' assessment of
the quality of the receivables pool and the purchasers' level of investment
and are fixed at 6.08% per annum plus administrative fees typical in such
transactions. These costs are included in other expense. The Company
maintains allowances for doubtful accounts at a level which management
believes is sufficient to cover potential credit losses relating to trade
accounts receivable, including receivables sold.
NOTE D--ACCRUED EXPENSES
Accrued expenses consists of the following:
1993 1992
Compensation and benefits $ 11,775,625 $ 9,156,692
Interest expense 2,632,072 2,486,885

Other 11,623,356 5,725,462
$ 26,518,429 $21,010,085
NOTE E--LONG-TERM DEBT AND CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS
Long-term debt consists of the following:
1993 1992
Senior Debt:
Credit line borrowings $ 86,500,000 $ 70,000,000
Other 1,596,700 23,800
88,096,700 70,023,800

Convertible subordinated debentures 44,782,000 44,782,000
$182,431,871 $164,804,500
The Company's revolving credit and term loan agreement provides for borrowings
of up to $125,000,000 until September 30, 1995, at which time the outstanding
balance, at the Company's election, may be converted into a term loan payable
in semi-annual installments over five years. The Company may select from
several interest rate options which effectively allow for borrowings at rates
equal to or lower than the lender's prime rate. A commitment fee of 1/4% per
annum is payable on the average daily unused balance of the revolving credit
line. At December 25, 1993, the Company's unused borrowing capacity under
the arrangement was approximately $38,500,000.
The Company's subordinated notes are unsecured, bear interest of 9.96% payable
semiannually, and are due in semiannual installments $2,381,000 beginning
February 1, 2000.
The convertible subordinated debentures bear interest of 7% payable
semiannually and are due 2012. The debentures are convertible by the holder
into shares of Common Stock of the Company at an effective conversion price
of $32.20 per share, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. The
debentures are redeemable at the Company's option through May 15, 1997, in
whole or in part, at prices ranging from 102.8% to 100.7% of their principal
amount. Subsequent to that date the debentures may be redeemed at 100% of
their principal amount. Mandatory sinking fund payments commencing May 15,
1998, will retire $2,500,000 principal amount of the debenture annually and
approximately 70% of the debentures prior to maturity. The debentures are
subordinated in right of payment to all other indebtedness of the Company.
During 1991, the Company repurchased $2,218,000 face value of the debentures
resulting in an extraordinary after-tax gain of $451,706 ($.05 per share).
The Company's long-term debt and credit arrangements include restrictions
relating to minimum net worth, debt to capital ratio, and other financial
ratios. The agreements also limit the amount of cash dividends that may be
paid. Retained earnings available for payment of dividends amounted to
approximately $978,000 at December 25, 1993.
Approximate maturities of long-term debt for each of the five years succeeding
December 25, 1993, assuming conversion of amounts outstanding under the
revolving credit arrangement to a term loan as discussed above, are $447,000 in
1994, $459,000 in 1995, $16,471,000 in 1996 $16,317,000 in 1997, and
$18,818,000 in 1998.
Interest payments in 1993, 1992, and 1991 were approximately $12,662,000,
$11,077,000, and $11,947,000, respectively.
NOTE F--FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company's financial
instruments are as follows:
1993 1992
Carrying Fair Carrying Fair
Amount Value Amount Value
Cash and cash equivalents $ 4,047,459 $ 4,047,459 $ 1,425,985 $ 1,425,985
Long-term debt (including
current portion) 182,878,700 178,974,000 164,805,800 157,893,000
Common Stock, subject
to put option 18,177,958 18,177,958 --- ---
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate fair values
due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair values of the
Company's long-term debt were estimated using discounted cash flow analysis
based on incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing
arrangements and quoted market rates for public debt. The fair value of the
Company's Common Stock, subject to put option, was based on current interest
rates, future cash flows, and the quoted market prices of the Company's
Common Stock.
NOTE G--CAPITAL STOCK
Holders of Class B Common Stock have the right to twenty votes per share on
matters that are submitted to Shareholders for approval and to dividends in an
amount not greater than dividends declared and paid on Common Stock. Class B
Common Stock is restricted as to transferability; however, the Class B Common
Stock may be converted into Common Stock on a one share for one share basis.
The Company's Charter authorizes 200,000,000 shares of Class C Common Stock, $3
par value per share, and 16,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. No shares of
Class C Common Stock or Preferred Stock have been issued. Also see Note (B)
NOTE H--INCOME TAXES
In 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No.
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires the liability method of
accounting for income taxes. The Company restated financial statements for
periods subsequent to December 26, 1986, to reflect application of the new
method. The effect of the change was to decrease income from continuing
operations and net income for 1992 by approximately $200,000 ($.03 per share)
and increase the loss from continuing operations and net loss for 1991 by
approximately $200,000 ($.02 per share).
The provision (benefit) for income tax on income (loss) from continuing
operations consist of the following:
1993 1992 1991
Current Deferred Current Deferred Current Deferred

$ 568,000 $3,768,000 $1,457,000 $2,023,188 $697,000 $(12,553,435)
Deferred income taxes reflects the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the tax bases of those assets and liabilities. Significant
components of the Company's deferred tax liabilities and assets are as follows:
Deferred Tax Liabilities 1993 1992
Property, plant and equipment $52,792,000 $41,419,000
Inventories 8,634,000 7,018,000

Total deferred tax assets 16,553,000 13,693,000
Net deferred tax liabilities $45,277,000 $35,979,000
Differences between the provision (benefit) for income taxes and the amount
computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income (loss)
from continuing operations are reconciled as follows:
1993 1992 1991
Statutory rate applied to

Income tax payments, net of tax refunds received, in 1993, 1992, and 1991 were
approximately $2,079,000, $1,024,000, and $5,066,000, respectively.
NOTE I--RESTRUCTURING AND PLANT CLOSING COSTS
In the fourth quarter of 1991, the Company developed and began implementation
of a plan to restructure the Company's manufacturing facilities and support
services areas and accrued associated costs of $28,276,000 ($18,271,000 or
$2.08 per share after taxes). The plan included, among other things,
production and machinery consolidations into fewer facilities, information
systems conversions and personnel reductions.
As of the end of 1993, the restructuring was substantially complete. Total
costs incurred through 1993 consisted of approximately $13,533,000 to write-
down certain assets to estimated fair market value, approximately $3,156,000
for severance payments, and approximately $11,100,000 for other direct costs,
including product consolidations, equipment relocation, systems conversions,
and other related expenses.

The Company's 1990 Incentive Stock Plan reserves 770,000 shares of Common Stock
for sale or award to key associates under stock options, stock appreciation
rights, restricted stock performance grants, or other awards. Outstanding
options are exercisable at a cumulative rate of 25% to 33 1/3% per year after
the second year from the date the options are granted. Options outstanding
were granted at prices at or above market price on the date of grant and
include grants under the 1983 Incentive Stock Plan, under which no further
options may be granted. At December 25, 1993, options to purchase 126,662
shares were exercisable under these plans.
A summary of the option activity under the 1990 and 1983 Incentive Stock Plans
is as follows:
Number of Option Price

Outstanding at December 25, 1993 627,912 $10.75 - $30.75
The Company also has a stock purchase plan which authorizes 108,000 shares of
Common Stock for purchase by supervisory associates at the market price
prevailing at the time of purchase. At December 25, 1993, 65,940 shares
remained available for issue. Shares sold under this plan are held in escrow
until paid for and are subject to repurchase agreements which give the Company
the right of first refusal at the prevailing market price. Numbers of shares
sold under the plan were 12,700 in 1993, 1,800 in 1992, and 3,300 in 1991.
The Company issued options for the purchase of 83,044 shares of Common Stock,
which were immediately exercisable at prices ranging from $3.19 - $5.27 per
share, in connection with the acquisition of Carriage. During 1993, options
for 10,699 shares were exercised at prices ranging from $3.43 - $4.29 per
share. At December 25, 1993, options for 72,345 shares at prices ranging
from $3.19 - $5.27 per share remain exercisable.
NOTE K--PENSION PLANS
The Company has defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans which
cover essentially all associates. Benefits for associates participating in the
defined benefit plans are based on years of service and compensation during the
period of participation. Plan assets consist primarily of cash equivalents and
publicly traded stocks and bonds. The Company's practice is to fund defined
benefit plans in accordance with minimum requirements of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Contributions and costs of the defined
contribution plans are based on several factors including a percentage of each
participant's compensation, the operating performance of the Company, and
matching of participant contributions by the Company.
Participants in the Company's largest defined benefit plan became eligible
participants in a newly established 401(k) defined contribution plan effective
in 1994. All accrued benefits under the defined benefit plan became fully
vested and were frozen as of December 24, 1993. A portion of the liability of
the defined benefit plan was settled through lump sum payments to electing
associates. Losses incurred as a result of these settlements and the
curtailment described above totaled $768,680 and $358,626 during 1993 and 1992,
respectively. Settlement losses of $196,580 included in the 1993 amount were a
direct result of the Company's restructuring plan and were charged to the
restructuring reserve established in 1991.
The net periodic pension cost included the following components:
1993 1992 1991
Defined benefit plans:
Service cost $ 1,315,353 $ 1,446,829 $ 1,522,052
Interest cost 1,625,217 1,841,940 2,000,193

consolidated balance sheets:

Pension related (liability) asset included
in the consolidated balance sheets $(7,955,839) $ 2,560,493
In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions," the Company has
recorded an additional minimum liability at December 25, 1993 representing
the excess of the accumulated benefit obligation over the fair value of plan
assets and accrued pension costs. This additional liability reduced
stockholders' equity by $4,981,943 (net of income tax benefit of $3,319,686).
The increased liability in 1993 results primarily from decreasing the assumed
discount rate used in determining the projected benefit obligation from 8.5%
to 7.13%.
The weighted average discount rate used in determining the projected benefit
obligation was 7.13% for 1993, 8.5% for 1992, and 9% for 1991. There was no
increase in future compensation levels assumed for 1993 (due to the freezing of
benefits), and a 4% and 5% rate of increase was used for 1992 and 1991,
respectively. The assumed long-term rate of return on plan assets was 8.5% for
1993 and 1992, and 9% for 1991.
NOTE L--POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS
The Company and one of its subsidiaries provided medical, dental and life
insurance coverage for retirees under postretirement benefit plans.
The parent company provides medical and dental benefits until age 65 to early
retirees who have met specified age and service requirements. It pays a
portion of these costs for participants who retired prior to 1992 and also
pays a portion of the life insurance premiums for a certain group of
retirees. No new retirees may become eligible for the life insurance
benefits. For measurement purposes, a 12% annual rate of increase in the
per capita claims cost for the medical and dental plans was used for 1993,
1992, and 1991. The discount rate used to determine the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligations was 7.5% for 1993, 8.5% for 1992, and 9%
for 1991. During 1993, the Company settled a portion of its postretirement
benefit obligation under the life insurance plan through the payment of lump-
sum distributions made to beneficiaries of insured participants. Losses
incurred as a result of these settlements totaled $73,049.
A subsidiary also provides medical, dental and life insurance plans for all
retired associates who have completed required service and age requirements.
The subsidiary pays the full cost of these benefits for associates who retired
prior to June 1992. Eligible retirees after this date pay a portion of these
benefits at the equivalent rates under COBRA. The weighted-average annual
assumed rates of increase in the per capita cost of covered medical and dental
benefits is 15% and 12% in 1993 for pre-65 and post-65 benefits, respectively,
gradually declining to 6% in 2005, and remaining at that level thereafter. The
accumulated postretirement benefit obligations were determined using an 8%
weighted average discount rate.

The assumed rate used to measure the per capita claims cost can have a
significant effect on the amounts reported. Increasing the assumed rate by one
percentage point in each year would increase the accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation and net periodic postretirement benefit cost by
approximately $170,000 and $14,000, respectively.
NOTE M --STORM AND FIRE DAMAGE
On March 13, 1993, a severe winter storm substantially damaged Carriage's
manufacturing facilities, including machinery. On August 4, 1993, a fire
destroyed Carriage's Bretlin needlebond facility. Both losses were covered by
insurance and the total insurance benefits recognized during 1993 were
$33,500,000, including approximately $5,400,000 accrued as a receivable. The
Company spent approximately $17,900,000 in 1993 to replace and repair capital
assets which had been destroyed or damaged. Insurance proceeds in excess of
the net book value of destroyed assets and the repair costs of damaged
assets were approximately $13,400,000 and are reflected in the financial
statements as other income ($1,800,000) and a reduction to cost of sales
($11,600,000) to offset extra expenses and losses incurred as a result of
the storm and fire. The insurance claims have not been concluded.
NOTE N--COMMITMENTS
The Company had outstanding commitments for purchases of machinery and
equipment of approximately $11,686,000 at December 25, 1993.
NOTE O --INDUSTRY SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company operates in two industry segments: textile products and
floorcovering. Textile products include yarns, industrial sewing threads and
knit fabrics. Floorcovering includes carpet for manufactured housing,
recreational vehicles, high-end residential and commercial markets, rugs and
yarns. Prior to the acquisitions of Carriage and Masland in 1993, the
Company's single line of business, textile products, included the Company's
Candlewick sales yarn operations serving the broadloom and rug manufacturing
markets. With the expansion into production and sales of finished
floorcovering products through the Carriage and Masland acquisitions, the
operations of Candlewick are now included in the floorcovering segment.
Accordingly, a restatement of the Company's financial information, by
segment, is reflected for the periods presented in the consolidated
financial statements.
