PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

The Registrant designs, manufactures and markets paper machine clothing for
each section of the paper machine. It is the largest producer of paper machine
clothing in the world. Paper machine clothing consists of large continuous belts
of custom designed and custom manufactured, engineered fabrics that are
installed on paper machines and carry the paper stock through each stage of the
paper production process. Paper machine clothing is a consumable product of
technologically sophisticated design that is made with synthetic monofilament
and fiber materials. The Registrant produces a substantial portion of its
monofilament requirements. The design and material composition of paper machine
clothing can have a considerable effect on the quality of paper products
produced and the efficiency of the paper machines on which it is used. In
addition to paper machine clothing, the Registrant manufactures other engineered
fabrics which include fabrics for the non-woven industry, corrugator belts,
filtration media and rapid roll doors.

Practically all press fabrics are woven tubular or endless from monofilament
yarns. After weaving, the base press fabric goes to a needling operation where a
thick fiber layer, called a batt, is laid on the base just before passing
through the needling machine. The needles are equipped with tiny barbs that grab
batt fibers locking them into the body of the fabric. After needling, the
fabrics are usually washed, and water is removed. The fabric then is heat set,
treatments may be applied, and it is measured and trimmed.

The Registrant's manufacturing process is similar for forming fabrics and
drying fabrics. Monofilament screens are woven on a loom. The fabrics are seamed
to produce an endless loop, and heat stabilized by running them around two large
cylinders under heat and drawn out by tension. After heat setting, the fabrics
are seamed and boxed.

INDUSTRY FACTORS

There are approximately 1,250 paper machines in the United States located in
approximately 490 paper mills. It is estimated that, excluding China, there are
8,100 paper machines in the world and approximately 1,000, mostly very small,
paper machines in China. Demand for paper machine clothing is tied to the volume
of paper production, which in turn reflects economic growth. According to
published data, world production volumes have grown in excess of 4% annually
over the last ten years. The Registrant anticipates continued growth for the
long-term in world paper production. The profitability of the paper machine
clothing business has generally been less cyclical than the profitability of the
papermaking industry. Papermaking capacity utilization does not vary
significantly because in periods of declining demand for paper, paper mills
still operate near capacity but at lower profitability.

Because the paper industry has been characterized by an evolving but
essentially stable manufacturing technology based on the wet forming papermaking
process, which requires a very large capital investment, the Registrant does not
believe that a commercially feasible substitute technology that does not employ
paper machine clothing is likely to be developed and incorporated into the paper
production process by paper manufacturers in the foreseeable future.
Accordingly, the prospects for continued stability of industry demand for paper
machine clothing appear excellent.

Over the last few years, paper manufacturers have generally reduced the
number of suppliers of paper machine clothing per machine position. This trend
has increased opportunities for market leaders to expand their market share.

INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS

The Registrant maintains wholly-owned manufacturing facilities in Australia,
Brazil, Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Holland, Mexico, Sweden
and the United States. The Registrant has a 50% interest in a partnership in
South Africa which is engaged primarily in the paper machine clothing business
(see Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

2

The Registrant's geographically diversified operations allow it to serve the
world's paper markets more efficiently and to provide superior technical service
to its customers. The Registrant benefits from the transfer of research and
development product innovations between geographic regions. The worldwide scope
of the Registrant's manufacturing and marketing efforts also limits the impact
on the Registrant of economic downturns that are limited to a geographic region.

The Registrant's widespread presence subjects it to certain risks, including
controls on foreign exchange and the repatriation of funds. However, the
Registrant has been able to repatriate earnings in excess of working capital
requirements from each of the countries in which it operates without substantial
governmental restrictions and does not foresee any material changes in its
ability to continue to do so in the future. In addition, the Registrant believes
that the risks associated with its operations and locations outside the United
States are those normally associated with doing business in these locations. In
countries in which the Registrant operates that have experienced high inflation
rates, the Registrant frequently reprices its products. This practice has
enabled the Registrant to quickly pass on to its customers most of the increased
costs due to local inflation. Although government imposed price freezes have
occasionally occurred in some of the Registrant's markets, including the United
States, neither controls nor high inflation rates have had a long-term material
adverse impact on the Registrant's operating results.

MARKETING, CUSTOMERS AND BACKLOG

Paper machine clothing is custom designed for each user depending upon the
type, size and speed of the papermaking machine, the machine section, the grade
of paper being produced, and the quality of the pulp stock used. Judgment and
experience are critical in designing the appropriate clothing for each position
on the machine. As a result, the Registrant employs highly skilled sales and
technical service personnel in 21 countries who work directly with paper mill
operating management. The Registrant's technical service van program in the
United States gives its service engineers field access to the measurement and
analysis equipment needed for troubleshooting and application engineering.
Sales, service and technical expenses are major cost components of the
Registrant. The Registrant employs approximately 900 people in the sales and
technical functions combined, many of whom have engineering degrees or paper
mill experience.

The forming and pressing sections of the papermaking process have been
characterized by a greater frequency of technological and design innovations
that improve performance than has the drying section. The Registrant's market
leadership position in forming and pressing fabrics and the 1993 acquisition of
Mount Vernon which produces dryer fabrics, reflects the Registrant's commitment
to technological innovation.

Typically, the Registrant experiences its highest quarterly sales levels in
the fourth quarter of each fiscal year and its lowest levels in the first
quarter. The Registrant believes that this pattern only partially reflects
seasonal shifts in demand for its products but is more directly related to
purchasing policies of the Registrant's customers.

Payment terms granted to customers reflect general competitive practices.
Terms vary with product and competitive conditions, but generally require
payment within 30 to 90 days, depending on the country of operation.
Historically, bad debts have been insignificant. No single customer, or group of
related customers, accounted for more than 5% of the Registrant's sales of paper
machine clothing in any of the past three years. Management does not believe
that the loss of any one customer would have a material adverse effect on the
Registrant's business.

The Registrant's order backlogs at December 31, 1993 and 1992 were
approximately $407 million and $351 million, respectively. Orders recorded at
December 31, 1993 are expected to be invoiced during the next 12 months.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

The Registrant invests heavily in research, new product development and
technical analysis to maintain its leadership in the paper machine clothing
industry. The Registrant's expenditures fall

3

into two primary categories, research and development and technical
expenditures. Research and development expenses totaled $17.6 million in 1993
and $18.5 million in 1992 and 1991. While most research activity supports
existing products, the Registrant engages in research for new products. New
product research has focused primarily on more sophisticated paper machine
clothing and has resulted in a stream of new products such as DUOTEX-R- and
TRIOTEX-TM- forming fabrics, for which the technology has been licensed to
several competitors, the patented, on-machine-seamed press fabric, long nip
press belts which are essential to water removal in the press section and
Thermonetics-TM- a dryer fabric. Technical expenditures, primarily at the plant
level, totaled $21.4 million in 1993, $22.9 million in 1992, and $23.5 million
in 1991. Technical expenditures are focused on design, quality assurance and
customer support.

Although the Registrant has focused most of its research and development
efforts on paper machine clothing products and design, the Registrant also has
made considerable progress in developing non-paper machine clothing products.
Through its major research facility in Mansfield, Massachusetts, the Registrant
conducts research under contract for the U.S. government and major corporations.
In addition to its Mansfield facility, the Registrant has four other research
and development centers located at manufacturing locations in Halmstad, Sweden;
Selestat, France; Albany, New York; and Menasha, Wisconsin.

The Registrant has developed and is developing proprietary processes for
manufacturing structural and insulation products using polyimide and other
fibers, which have potential applications in aircraft, automotive and other
industries. A number of products that include properties such as thermal
stability, non-flammability, non-melting and low generation of smoke and toxic
gasses at high temperatures are currently being tested.

Another innovative engineered fabric development unrelated to paper machine
clothing is Primaloft, a synthetic down which is believed to have properties
superior to goose down. This product continues to gain acceptance in the
marketplace for cold weather clothing and bedding.

The Registrant holds a number of patents, trademarks and licenses, none of
which are material to the continuation of the Registrant's business. Consistent
with industry practice, the Registrant frequently licenses its patents to
competitors primarily to enhance customer acceptance of the new products. The
revenue from such licenses is less than 1 percent of consolidated net sales.

COMPETITION

While there are more than 50 paper machine clothing suppliers worldwide,
only six major paper machine clothing companies compete on a global basis.
Market shares vary depending on the country and the type of paper machine
clothing produced. In the paper machine clothing market, the Registrant believes
that it has a market share of approximately 26% in the United States and
Canadian markets, taken together, 16% in the rest of the world and approximately
20% in the world overall. Together, the United States and Canada constitute
approximately 38% of the total world market for paper machine clothing.

Competition is intense in all areas of the Registrant's business. While
price competition is, of course, a factor, the primary bases for competition are
the performance characteristics of the Registrant's products, which are
principally technology-driven, and the quality of customer service. The
Registrant, like its competitors, provides diverse services to customers through
its sales and technical service personnel including: (1) consulting on
performance of the paper machine; (2) consulting on paper machine
configurations, both new and rebuilt; (3) selection and custom manufacture of
the appropriate paper machine clothing; and (4) storing fabrics for delivery to
the user.

EMPLOYEES

The Registrant employs 5,286 persons, of whom approximately 75% are engaged
in manufacturing the Registrant's products. Wages and benefits are competitive
with those of other manufacturers in the geographic areas in which the
Registrant's facilities are located. The Registrant considers its relations with
its employees in general to be excellent.

RAW MATERIALS AND INVENTORY

Primary raw materials for the Registrant's products are synthetic fibers,
which are generally available from a number of suppliers. The Registrant,
therefore, is not required to maintain inventories in excess of its current
needs to assure availability. In addition, the Registrant manufactures
monofilament, a basic raw material for all types of paper machine clothing, at
its facility in Homer, New York, which supplies approximately 25% of its
world-wide monofilament requirements. This manufacturing capability assists the
Registrant in its negotiations with monofilament producers for the balance of
its supply requirements, and enhances the ability of the Registrant to develop
proprietary products.

The Registrant believes it is in compliance with all Federal, State and
local provisions which have been enacted or adopted regarding the discharge of
materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the
environment, and does not have knowledge of environmental regulations which do
or might have a material effect on future capital expenditures, earnings, or
competitive position.

The Registrant is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware and
is the successor to a New York corporation which was originally incorporated in
1895 and which was merged into the Registrant in August 1987 solely for the
purpose of changing the domicile of the corporation. Upon such merger, each
outstanding share of Class B Common Stock of the predecessor New York
corporation was changed into one share of Class B Common Stock of the
Registrant. References to the Registrant that relate to any time prior to the
August 1987 merger should be understood to refer to the predecessor New York
corporation.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The Registrant's principal manufacturing facilities are located in the
United States, Canada, Europe, Brazil, Mexico and Australia. The aggregate
square footage of the Registrant's facilities in the United States and Canada is
approximately 2,407,000, of which 2,298,200 square feet are owned and 108,800
square feet are leased. Most of the leased facilities in the United States are
used for the warehousing of finished goods. The Registrant's facilities located
outside the United States and Canada comprise approximately 2,506,000 square
feet, of which 2,255,000 square feet are owned and 251,000 square feet are
leased. The Registrant considers these facilities to be in good condition and
suitable for their purpose. The capacity associated with these facilities is
adequate to meet production levels required and anticipated through 1994. The
Registrant's capital expenditures are expected to approximate $39 million during
1994 in order to meet anticipated sales growth.

The Registrant believes it has modern, efficient production equipment. In
the last five years, it has spent $280 million on new plants and equipment or
upgrading existing facilities, including the completion of, a dryer fabric plant
in Cowansville, Quebec, Canada, new forming fabric plants in Sweden and Holland
and new press fabric plants in Sweden and Finland.
