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
26 weeks ended May 29, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending November 27, 2004. The balance
sheet at November 29, 2003 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 Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November
29, 2003.
The Company's Board of Directors has determined that it is in the best interests
of its stockholders to sell the Company's textile 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 Company's annual meeting on May 30, 2002. The Plan provides the Company's
officers and directors will continue to operate the Company's textile 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 it's business or if it does sell the business, that it
will be able to recover full value of it's assets, particularly it's property,
plant and equipment. On February 18, 2004, August 1, 2003 and May 30, 2002, the
Company's Board of Directors declared a liquidating distribution of $3.00 per
share, $4.00 per share and $10.00 per share, respectively, which resulted in a
payment to stockholders of $15,645,000, $20,860,000 and $52,380,000 in March
2004, August 2003 and June 2002, respectively. Of the total June 2002
liquidating dividend, $6,641,000 was deducted from additional paid in capital
until the paid in capital account was eliminated and represents a return of
capital. The remaining liquidating dividend of $45,739,000 was deducted from
retained earnings.
The Company's plan of liquidation provides the Company's officers and directors
will continue to operate the Company's textile business in its current fashion
and pursue the sale of the business as a going concern. If the Company is not
sold by May 2005, all assets will be transferred to a liquidating trust. The
liquidating trust would then succeed to all our remaining assets, liabilities
and obligations.
The Company is currently in compliance with the 40% limitation on holding
investment securities set forth in the Investment Company Act of 1940 and
intends to remain in compliance with such requirement in the future.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
The Company is party to equity option contract 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.
In accordance with SFAS No. 133, the Company's policy is to recognize all
derivatives instruments as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at
fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized in the income statement in the
period in which they occur. Derivatives are not used for trading purposes.
Derivatives are used to hedge against fluctuations in the market value of equity
securities.
ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company's stock option plans were terminated subsequent to the fiscal year
ended November 30, 2002 and there has been no stock compensation expense under
the disclosure-only provision of SFAS No.123 subsequent thereto.
COST OF GOODS SOLD
Cost of goods sold includes labor, purchases, inbound freight charges, receiving
costs, warehousing costs and the change in inventory during the period. Excess
fixed production costs are not inventoried and are expensed in the period
incurred.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE
Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily include costs relating to
administrative and salespersons salaries and benefits, bad debt expense,
professional and consulting fees, insurance expense and rent for the New York
office.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes its revenues upon shipment of the related goods. Shipping
terms are FOB shipping point pursuant to the Company's sales agreements. Risk of
loss transfers to the Company's customers at the time the goods are transferred
to a common carrier, per the Company's sales agreements. The acceptance of goods
by customers is not subject to inspection. Allowances for estimated returns are
provided when sales are recorded.
SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS
Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are recorded as revenue. The
costs associated with shipping goods to customers are recorded as cost of goods
sold. The majority of the shipping costs are paid directly by the Company's
customers to independent trucking companies.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain accounts in 2003 financial statements have been reclassified with the
2004 presentations for comparative purposes.

$ 28,819 $ 435 ($250) $ 29,004
During the six months ended May 29, 2004, the Company invested a portion of it's
investment 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 has purchased short-term S & P 100 index put
options and sold short-term S & P 100 index call options. Although the Company
uses these instruments to hedge against fluctuations in the market value of the
securities, the Company has not elected to use hedge accounting. All gains and
losses from the use of these instruments are included in the income statement in
the period that they occur. At May 29, 2004 and November 29, 2003, the Company
had no such investments, but will continue to invest in such equities in the
future.
(10)
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. It is the policy of the
Company to limit 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 2003 and the six months
ended May 29, 2004, that custodian had an average balance of approximately $9.6
million, and $6.7 million, respectively, of the Company's cash under investment
which from time to time during such periods was invested entirely in equity
securities. At May 29, 2004, that custodian had approximately $5.6 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 50% of the
Company's portfolio to be held by the custodian.
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.

Raw materials $ 1,799,000 $ 1,446,000

Inventories accounted for under the LIFO method are goods manufactured for the
Apparel segment. Inventories accounted for under the FIFO method are goods
manufactured for the Home Furnishing and Accessories and the Other segments.
Both methods are not used for similar types of goods. The Company reviews
inventory values on a quarterly basis for items requiring markdowns to lower of
cost or market value or due to obsolescence.

There were no options outstanding during the 26 weeks ended May 29, 2004
and May 31, 2003, respectively. During fiscal 2002, all outstanding options
were either exercised or cancelled.
6. Comprehensive Income:
Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of unrealized
holding gains (losses) related to available-for-sale securities.
Comprehensive income was $225,000 and $399,000 for the 26 weeks ended May
29, 2004 and May 31, 2003, respectively, and $468,000 and $427,000 for the
13 weeks ended May 29, 2004 and May 31, 2003 respectively.
7. Litigation:
On November 10, 2003, a class action suit was filed against the Company in
Delaware Chancery Court. The complaint asserts claims against the Company
and certain of its officers and directors based on the management buy-out
proposal at a price allegedly lower than the cash value and book value of
the Company's shares and which was an allegedly interested transaction, the
amendment to Mr. Bitensky's employment contract, the Company's failure to
seek stockholder approval for the management buyout and the Company's
failure to file a certificate of dissolution with the Delaware Secretary of
State. The complaint alleges such actions constitute violations of
defendants fiduciary duties as well as the provisions of the Delaware
General Corporation.
The complaint does not seek a specific amount of damages, and seeks to
enjoin defendants from effectuating the planned management buyout. The
company served an answer to the complainant on December 11, 2003. On each
of November 21 and November 26, 2003 class action lawsuits were initiated
against the Company in Delaware Chancery Court asserting substantially the
same allegations as those described above.
(12)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
7. Litigation (continued):
The Company believes that each of the claims described above is without
merit. Further, certain of the claims described above have been rendered
moot by the withdrawal of preliminary offer by management-led buyout to
acquire the Company.
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 would be material in
relation to the Company's consolidated financial position and results of
operations.
Other
The Company has a letter of credit with its insurance provider for
$400,000.

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
FASB Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities"
("FIN 46"). This interpretation requires certain variable interest entities
("VIEs"), commonly referred to as special purpose entities, to be
consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity
investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling
financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity
to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support
from other parties. FIN 46 was effective for all new VIEs created or
acquired after January 31, 2003. During December 2003, the FASB issued a
revision to FIN 46 ("FIN 46R"). Under the new provisions, public entities
were required to apply the guidance if the entity has interests in VIEs for
the periods ending after December 15, 2003. Application of this guidance by
public companies was required for all other types of entities for periods
ending after March 15, 2004. The Company's adoption of FIN 46R did not have
an effect on its consolidated financial statements.

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 May 29, 2004, the Company had no
equity option contracts. During the six months ended May 29, 2004, the
Company was party to equity option contracts from time to time.
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, Industrial Fabrics 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.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
10. Segment Information (continued):
Home Fashions and Accessories: While sales primarily to manufacturers of home
furnishings, we also use our own textile fabrics internally to produce flannel
and satin sheets, blanket products, comforters, and other bedding products which
we sell to specialty stores, catalogue and mail order companies, and airlines.
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
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 or 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 26 weeks and the 13 weeks ended May 29, 2004 and May 31, 2003, includes gain
on the sale of fixed assets of $1,007,000, and $322,000, and $316,000 and
$142,000, respectively. Of this, $441,000 in the 26 weeks ended May 29, 2004
belongs to the Other Segment and the balance applied to the Apparel Segment. In
addition, for the 26 weeks ended May 29, 2004 the Apparel Segment includes a
$250,000 reserve for environmental costs.

11. Commitments:
On July 25, 2003, the Company and Mr. Bitensky amended the employment agreement
between the Company and Mr. Bitensky dated as of March 1, 1993 to provide that
at such time as the Company is sold or liquidated pursuant to the Plan, in lieu
of the annual consulting fees due under such an agreement over the five year
consulting period provided therein, Mr. Bitensky will receive a lump sum payment
equal to the aggregate net present value of each payment due under such
agreement, such present value to be determined utilizing the prevailing prime
rate at the time of the payment, as determined by the Board.
Such amendment to the Employment Agreement also provides that Mr. Bitensky
relinquishes his right under the terms of the original agreement to require the
Company to purchase upon his death approximately $10,000,000 of shares of Common
Stock from his estate. In consideration of Mr. Bitensky's relinquishing such
right, the Company agreed to transfer to Mr. Bitensky ownership of the three
life insurance policies on Mr. Bitensky's life owned by the Company. The Company
transferred these policies during fiscal year ended November 29, 2003.
12. Other Expense:
During the 26 weeks ended May 29, 2004, the Company recorded an accrual of
$250,000 for environmental costs.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S' DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The domestic textile industry has been negatively affected by a flow of low cost
foreign imports and market conditions since 1998.
The Company's Board of Directors has determined that it is in the best interests
of its stockholders to sell the Company's textile 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 Company's annual meeting on May 30, 2002. The Plan provides the Company's
officers and directors will continue to operate the Company's textile 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 it's business or if it does sell the business, that it
will be able to recover full value of it's assets, particularly it's property,
plant and equipment. On February 18, 2004, August 1, 2003 and May 30, 2002, the
Company's Board of Directors declared a liquidating distribution of $3.00 per
share, $4.00 per share and $10.00 per share, respectively, which resulted in a
payment to stockholders of $15,645,000, $20,860,000 and $52,380,000 in March
2004, August 2003 and June 2002, respectively. Of the total June 2002
liquidating dividend, $6,641,000 was deducted from additional paid in capital
until the paid in capital account was eliminated and represents a return of
capital. The remaining liquidating dividend of $45,739,000 was deducted from
retained earnings.
The Company's plan of liquidation provides the Company's officers and directors
will continue to operate the Company's textile business in its current fashion
and pursue the sale of the business as a going concern. If the Company is not
sold by May 2005, all assets will be transferred to a liquidating trust. The
liquidating trust would then succeed to all our remaining assets, liabilities
and obligations.
The Company is currently in compliance with the 40% limitation on holding
investment securities set forth in the Investment Company Act of 1940 and
intends to remain in compliance with such requirement in the future.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Second Quarter and Six Months
FISCAL 2004 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2003
Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2004 were $14,596,000 as compared to
$13,646,000 in the similar 2003 period, an increase of $950,000 or 7.0%. Even
though the domestic textile industry has been negatively affected by a flow of
low cost foreign imports and market conditions since 1998, the Company in the
current quarter has shown a slight increase in all 3 segments; Apparel, Home
Fashions and Accessories and Other, as a result of volume increases to several
customers. For the six months ended May 29, 2004, net sales were $24,737,000, a
decline of $496,000, or 2.0% from 2003.
(17)
Gross margins as a percentage of sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2004
increased to 15.8% from 9.9% as compared to the similar 2003 period. For the six
months ended May 29, 2004 gross margins increased to 11.1% compared to 8.3% in
the similar 2003 period. These increases are due to a more favorable product mix
and reduction in costs due to employee termination and related expenses and a
decrease in depreciation expenses. For the six months and three months ended May
29, 2004 and the six months and three months ended May 31, 2003, an increase in
LIFO reserves of $300,000 was recorded. This was due to higher average FIFO
prices.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the 13 weeks and 26 weeks
increased by $414,000 and $462,000, respectively, compared to the similar 2003
period. An increase in professional fees, salesmen's commission, and provision
for doubtful accounts was partially offset by a reduction in payroll and other
expenses.
Other expenses for the 26 weeks include an accrual for $250,000 for
environmental costs, which was recorded in the quarter ending February 28, 2004.
For the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended May 29, 2004, the Company has a gain on the
sale of fixed assets of $322,000 and $1,007,000 respectively, compared to
$142,000 and $316,000 respectively for the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended May
31,2003.
Interest and dividend income for the 13 and 26 weeks ended May 29, 2004
decreased by $239,000 and $364,000 respectively from the similar 2003 period. On
March 10, 2004, the Company distributed its third liquidating distribution of
$3.00 per share, or $15,645,000. Accordingly, the Company had lower average
invested balances for the three and six months ended May 29, 2004. In the
current quarter, the Company realized gains from the sale of investment
securities of $434,000 compared to $232,000 in the comparable second quarter of
2003. For the six months ended May 29, 2004, the Company realized gains from the
sale of investment securities of $602,000 compared to $203,000 in last year's
comparable six months.
The effective income tax rate for the current quarter was 35.1% as compared to
35.4% last year's second quarter. The effective income tax rate for the 26 weeks
ended May 29, 2004 was 37.5%, as compared to 50.0% last year's 26 weeks. The
prior year's 50% effective income tax rate for the 26 weeks ended May 31, 2003,
was due to minimum state and franchise taxes.
As a result of these factors, the Company has net income of $767,000 or $0.15
basic and diluted earnings per share and $475,000 or $0.09 basic and diluted
earnings per share for the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended May 29, 2004,
respectively, compared to net income of $320,000 or $0.06 basic and diluted
earnings per share and $50,000 or $0.01 basic and diluted earnings per share for
the 13 and 26 weeks ended May 31, 2003, respectively.
(18)
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash provided by operating activities for the 26 weeks ended May 29, 2004
amounted to $1,144,000 due to an increase in operating cash flows from increased
gross margins and an increase in accounts payable, accruals and other
liabilities, partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable. The
variability of operating cash flows is principally caused by sales fluctuations
and the amount of cash provided by changes in working capital accounts. Net
proceeds from sales of investment securities were $11,253,000 for the 26 weeks
ended May 29, 2004 compared to acquisition of investment securities of $634,000
in the comparative 2003 period. The Company mainly used the proceeds from sales
of investment securities during the 26 weeks ended May 29, 2004 for the third
liquidating distribution of $3.00 per share or $15,645,000 on March 10, 2004.
Stockholders equity was $33,509,000 ($6.43 book value per share) at May 29, 2004
as compared to $48,929,000 ($9.38 book value per share) at the previous year-end
November 29, 2003 and $64,977,000 ($12.40 book value per share) at May 31, 2003.
The reduction in stockholders' equity from May 31, 2003 was primarily due to the
second liquidating distribution of $4.00 per share, or $20,860,000 on August 22,
2003 and the third liquidating distribution of $3.00 per share or $15,645,000
paid on March 10, 2004.
Management believes that the Company's current financial position is adequate to
satisfying working capital requirements and to internally fund any future
expenditures to maintain its manufacturing facilities for the next twelve
months.
Commitments:
On July 25, 2003, the Company and Mr. Bitensky amended the Employment Agreement
between the Company and Mr. Bitensky dated as of March 1, 1993 to provide that
at such time as the Company is sold or liquidated pursuant to the Plan, in lieu
of the annual consulting fees due under such an agreement over the five year
consulting period provided therein, Mr. Bitensky will receive a lump sum payment
equal to the aggregate net present value of each payment due under such
agreement, such present value to be determined utilizing the prevailing prime
rate at the time of the payment, as determined by the Board.
Such amendment to the Employment Agreement also provides that Mr. Bitensky
relinquishes his right under the terms of the original agreement to require the
Company to purchase upon his death approximately $10,000,000 of shares of Common
Stock from his estate. In consideration of Mr. Bitensky's relinquishing such
right, the Company agreed to transfer to Mr. Bitensky ownership of the three
life insurance policies on Mr. Bitensky's life owned by the Company. The Company
transferred these policies during fiscal year ended November 29, 2003.
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 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 29, 2003.
(19)
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
Certain statements in this report are "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All
forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. In particular, any
statement contained herein, in press releases, written statements or other
documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or in our
communications and discussions with investors and analysts in the normal course
of business including, but not limited to, meetings, phone calls and conference
calls, regarding the sale of our assets pursuant to a plan of liquidation and
dissolution, as well as expectations with respect to future sales and operating
efficiencies prior to a sale of the company, are subject to known and unknown
risks, uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and
which may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially
from anticipated results, performances or achievements. Forward-looking
statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our future
plans, strategies, and expectations, are generally identifiable by the use of
words "may", "will", "should", "expect", "anticipate", "estimate" "believe"
"intend" or "project" or the negative of them or other variations of them or
comparable terminology.
Factors that could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future
prospects include, but are not limited to: our ability to find qualified buyers
for our assets; overall economic and business conditions; our continuing ability
to support the demand for our goods and services; competitive factors in the
industries in which we compete; changes in government regulation; changes in tax
requirements (including tax rate changes, new tax laws and revised tax law
interpretations); interest rate fluctuations and other capital market
conditions, including foreign currency rate fluctuations; material contingencies
provided for in a sale of our assets; de-listing of our common stock from the
American Stock Exchange; our ability to retain key employees through any wind
down period; and any litigation arising as a result of our plan to wind down our
operations. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating any
forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
We undertake no obligation to update or revise a forward-looking statement,
whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, other than
required by law.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is exposed to risk of fluctuations in the market value of equity
securities. To manage this exposure, the Company uses derivatives to hedge
against fluctuations in the market value of equity securities. The Company's
policy is to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or
liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value are
recognized in the income statement in the period in which they occur.
Derivatives are not used for trading purposes. At May 29, 2004 and November 29,
2003, the Company has no such investments, but will continue to invest in such
equities in the future.
(20)
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES: Our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, having concluded, based on their
evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that
our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities
and Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15-15(e)) are (1)
effective to ensure that material information required to be disclosed
by us in reports filed or submitted by us under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, and
reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and
forms, and (2) designed to ensure the material information required to
be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated, organized and
communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriated, to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.
(b) INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING: There were no significant
changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting (as
defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that occurred during the Company's
most recent quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over
financial reporting.
It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed
and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute assurance
that the objectives of the system will be met. In addition, the design
of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about
the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent
limitations of control systems, there is only reasonable assurance that
our controls will succeed in achieving their stated goals under all
potential future conditions.
