SPEIZMAN INDUSTRIES
Speizman Industries is the leading distributor of new sock knitting machines
in the United States. It distributes technologically advanced sock knitting
machines manufactured by Lonati, S.p.A., Brescia, Italy ("Lonati"), which
Speizman Industries believes is the world's largest manufacturer of hosiery
knitting equipment. It also distributes Lonati sock and sheer hosiery knitting
machines in Canada. In addition, through sales arrangements with other European
textile machinery manufacturers, Speizman distributes other sock knitting
machines, knitting machines for underwear and other knitted fabrics and other
equipment related to the manufacture of socks, sheer hosiery and other textile
products, principally in the United States and Canada. Speizman sells textile
machine parts and used textile equipment in the United States and in a number of
foreign countries.
Speizman Industries and Lonati entered into their present agreement for the
sale of Lonati machines in the United States in January 1992 (the "Lonati
Agreement"). Speizman and Lonati also entered into a similar agreement relating
to Speizman Industries' distribution of Lonati sock and sheer hosiery knitting
machines in Canada in January 1992 and in Mexico in 1997. Speizman Industries
has distributed Lonati double cylinder machines in the United States
continuously since 1982. Speizman began distributing Lonati single cylinder
machines in 1989.
Pursuant to the Lonati Agreement, Lonati has appointed Speizman Industries
as Lonati's distributor and exclusive agent in the United States for the sale of
its range of single and double cylinder sock knitting machines and related spare
parts. Although the Lonati Agreement does not establish Speizman Industries as
the exclusive distributor of Lonati sock machines in the United States, Speizman
in fact has exclusively distributed Lonati double cylinder sock machines
continuously since 1982 and Lonati single cylinder sock knitting machines since
1989. The Lonati Agreement extended to December 31, 1995 and continues from year
to year thereafter, although it may be terminated on 90 days written notice at
any year end or without notice in the event of a breach. Speizman and Lonati
also entered into a similar agreement relating to Speizman Industries'
distribution of Lonati sock and sheer hosiery knitting machines in Canada in
January 1992.
The Lonati Agreement contains certain covenants and conditions relating to
Speizman Industries' sale of Lonati machines, including, among others,
requirements that Speizman Industries, at its own expense, promote the sale of
Lonati machines and assist Lonati in maintaining its competitive position,
maintain an efficient sales staff, provide for the proper installation and
servicing of the machines, maintain an adequate inventory of parts and pay for
all costs of advertising the machines. Speizman is prohibited during the term of
the Lonati Agreement from distributing any machines or parts that compete with
Lonati machines and parts. Speizman believes that it is and will remain in
compliance in all material respects with such covenants. The cost to Speizman of
Lonati machines, as well as the delivery schedule of these machines, are totally
at the discretion of Lonati. The Lonati Agreement allows Lonati to sell machines
directly to the sock manufacturer with any resulting commission paid to Speizman
determined on a case by case basis.
1
The Lonati single cylinder machines distributed by Speizman Industries are
for the knitting of athletic socks. The Lonati double cylinder machines are for
the knitting of dress and casual socks. The Lonati machines are electronic,
high-speed, and have computerized controls. Lonati single cylinder machines are
capable of knitting pouch heel and toe, reciprocated heel and toe and tube
socks. These and other features allow the rapid change of sock design, style and
size, result in increased production volume and efficiency and simplify the
servicing of the machines. Lonati single cylinder machines are also available in
a closed toe model which enables hosiery manufacturers to automate their
production processes by knitting in the toe as opposed to manually seaming. This
procedure not only results in a higher quality product but manufacturers also
benefit from lower costs. Speizman Industries distributes these sock knitting
machines as well as Lonati sheer hosiery knitting machines in Canada and in
Mexico. In addition, Speizman distributes the knitting machines, described
below, manufactured by Santoni, S.r.l. Brescia, Italy ("Santoni"), one of
Lonati's subsidiaries, in the United States, Canada and Mexico. The most popular
Santoni products are large diameter circular knitting machines utilizing new
technology in the production of seamless undergarments, action wear and
swimsuits. Sales by Speizman Industries in the United States, Canada and Mexico
of new machines manufactured by Lonati, S.p.A., generated the following
percentages of Speizman's net revenues: 22.5% in fiscal 1999, 41.1% in fiscal
1998 and 60.1% in fiscal 1997. In addition, sales of Santoni machines in the
United States, Canada and Mexico generated 20.3%, 5.3% and 7.0% of Speizman
Industries' net revenues in fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
In addition to the Lonati machines, Speizman Industries distributes new
knitting and other machines and equipment under written agreements and other
arrangements with the manufacturers. The following table sets forth certain
information concerning certain of these additional distribution arrangements:

There can be no assurance that Speizman will not encounter significant
difficulties in any attempt to enforce any provisions of the agreements with
foreign manufacturers, or any agreement that may arise in connection with the
placement and confirmation of orders for the machines manufactured by foreign
manufacturers or obtain an adequate remedy for a breach of any such provision,
due principally to the fact that they are foreign companies.
Speizman Industries sells used machinery and parts to the textile industry.
Speizman Industries carries significant amounts of machinery and parts
inventories to meet customers' requirements and to assure itself of an adequate
supply of used machinery. Speizman acts as a liquidator of textile mill
equipment and as a broker in the purchase and sale of such equipment.
SALES AND MARKETING
Speizman Industries markets and sells knitting machines and related
equipment primarily by maintaining frequent contacts with customers and
understanding of its customers' individual business needs. Salespersons will set
up competitive trials in a customer's plant and allow the customer to use
Speizman's machine in its own work environment alongside competing machines for
two weeks to three months. Speizman Industries also offers customers
2
the opportunity to send their employees to Speizman Industries for training
courses on the operation and service of the machines and, depending on the
number of machines purchased and the number of employees to train, may offer
such training courses at the customer's facility. In addition, Speizman
Industries exhibits its equipment at trade shows and uses its private showroom
to demonstrate new machines. These marketing strategies are complemented by
Speizman's commitment to service and continuing education. Speizman Industries
also produces, at its own expense, training videos for its major lines of
equipment. At September 4, 1999, Speizman employed 10 salespersons and 32
technical representatives. In addition to its sales staff, Speizman Industries
uses several commission sales agents in a number of foreign countries in
connection with its sales of used machines.
The terms of new machine sales generally are individually negotiated
including the purchase price, payment terms and delivery schedule. Speizman
Industries is usually required to purchase imported machines with a letter of
credit in favor of the manufacturer delivered not less than about 15 days prior
to the machine's shipment to the customer's plant. Generally, the letter of
credit must be payable 60 days or longer from the date of the on-board bill of
lading and upon presentation of the bill of lading. The period from shipment by
the manufacturer to installation in the customer's plant is generally 30-60
days.
Speizman encourages trade-ins of older equipment, which reduces the
customer's initial capital outlay. Speizman Industries believes that its
trade-in policy has increased sales of certain of Speizman Industries' new
equipment lines.
Substantially all of the new machines sold by Speizman Industries are
drop-shipped from the foreign manufacturer by container or air freight directly
to the customer's plant using Speizman's freight forwarder to coordinate
shipment. Title is taken at the European port, and Speizman insures the machines
for 110% of cost.
Because a substantial portion of Speizman Industries' revenues are derived
from sales of machines and equipment imported from abroad, these sales may be
subject to import controls, duty and currency fluctuations. The majority of
Speizman Industries' purchases of Italian machines for sale in the United States
are denominated in Italian lira. Generally, Speizman has been able to adjust
sales prices or purchase lira hedging contracts to compensate for anticipated
dollar fluctuations. However, international currency fluctuations that result in
substantial price level changes could impede import sales and substantially
impact profits. Speizman is not able to assess the quantitative effect such
international price level changes could have upon Speizman Industries'
operations. All of Speizman Industries' export sales originating from the United
States are made in U.S. dollars.
Speizman Industries also markets used machines through its employees and
outside commission salespersons. Speizman Industries markets its used machines
in the United States and in a number of foreign countries. Speizman uses trade
advertising extensively and frequently distributes lists throughout the industry
of used machines that Speizman Industries has for sale. Additionally, Speizman
utilizes its Internet web site for listing used machines available for sale.
Speizman Industries exports certain new and used machines and parts for sale
in Canada, Mexico and a number of other foreign countries. See Note 1 of Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements for certain financial information
concerning Speizman Industries' foreign sales in fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997.
CUSTOMERS
Speizman Industries' customers consist primarily of the major sock
manufacturers in the United States and Canada. In fiscal 1999, no single
customer represented over 10% of the Company's revenues. In fiscal 1998,
Speizman Industries' largest customer accounted for 11.7% of the Company's
revenues. In fiscal 1997, Speizman Industries' largest customer accounted for
10.5% of Speizman Industries' revenues. Generally, the customers contributing
the most to Speizman Industries' net revenues vary from year to year. Speizman
Industries believes that the loss of any principal customer could have a
material adverse effect on Speizman Industries.
COMPETITION
The sock knitting machine industry is competitive. Lonati single cylinder
machines compete primarily with machines manufactured by an Italian and a Czech
company and Lonati double cylinder machines compete primarily with machines
manufactured by an Italian company acquired in 1993 by Lonati but not
represented by Speizman Industries. Lonati machines compete, to a lesser extent,
with machines manufactured by a number of other foreign companies of varying
sizes and with companies selling used machines. The principal competitive
factors in the
3
distribution of sock knitting machines are technology, price, service, and
allowance of trade-ins and delivery. Management believes that its competitive
advantages are the technological advantages of the Lonati machines, Speizman
Industries' commitment to customer service and Speizman Industries' allowance of
trade-ins of used machines on new Lonati machines. Management believes that it
is at a short term competitive disadvantage if a potential customer's decision
will be based primarily on price since, generally, the purchase price of Lonati
machines is higher than that of competing machines.
In its sale of new equipment in addition to Lonati machines, Speizman
Industries competes with a number of foreign and domestic manufacturers and
distributors of new and used machines. In its sale of such other machines and
equipment, certain of Speizman Industries' competitors may have substantially
greater resources than Speizman Industries.
Domestic and foreign sales of used sock and sheer hosiery knitting machines
are fragmented and highly competitive. Speizman Industries competes with a
number of domestic and foreign companies that sell used machines as well as
domestic and foreign manufacturers that have used machines for sale as a result
of trade-ins. In the United States, Speizman Industries has one primary
competitor in its sale of used sock knitting machines. The principal competitive
factors in Speizman Industries' domestic and foreign sales of used machines are
price and availability of machines that are in demand. Although Speizman
Industries is the exclusive distributor of original equipment manufacturer
("OEM's") parts for a number of the machines it distributes, it competes with
firms that manufacture and distribute duplicates of such parts. In addition,
Speizman Industries competes with a number of distributors and manufacturers in
its other parts sales.
WINK DAVIS
Wink Davis, based in Atlanta, Georgia, distributes commercial laundry
equipment and parts and provides related service. Wink Davis was acquired by
Speizman on August 1, 1997. Wink Davis sells to a wide variety of customers. A
large share of these customers maintain on premise laundries ("OPL's"). OPL's
are commonly found in hotels, nursing homes and other institutions that perform
their laundry services in-house. Some larger installations of equipment are
found in hospitals, prisons and linen processing plants. The largest portion of
Wink Davis' sales are generated from its distributorships with both
Pellerin-Milnor (washer extractor equipment manufacturers based in Kenner, LA)
and Chicago Dryer (commercial ironer/folder manufacturers based in Chicago, IL).
Wink Davis represents both of these companies in Georgia, South Carolina, North
Carolina, Virginia, middle and eastern Tennessee, Maryland, Washington, D.C.,
northern and central Florida, and the Chicago, Illinois areas.
The Pellerin Milnor agreement appoints Wink Davis as the exclusive agent
within its territories. In some instances, a customer's purchase order may be
taken in one agent's territory, but the equipment is actually delivered to a
territory served by a different Pellerin Milnor agent. In these instances,
Pellerin-Milnor grants the sale to the territory in which the purchase order was
taken. The dealer servicing the territory in which the equipment is installed
receives a commission for which that dealer must assume responsibility for
installing the equipment. Historically, these sales involving two separate
Pellerin-Milnor dealers have been infrequent and management feels this issue
does not significantly improve or hurt its operations. The Chicago Dryer
agreement does not appoint Wink Davis as the exclusive agent within its
territories. Both the Pellerin-Milnor and Chicago Dryer agreements are renewed
on an annual basis and may be terminated in the event of a breach. Wink Davis
has continuously represented both manufacturers for most of its current
territories since 1972. Since 1980, Pellerin-Milnor has presented its annual top
distributor award to Wink Davis for all but three years. There can be no
assurance that the loss of one or both of these distributorships would not have
a materially adverse impact to Wink Davis' operations.
The Pellerin Milnor and Chicago Dryer agreements contain certain covenants
and conditions relating to Wink Davis' sales of these products, including, among
other things, that Wink Davis, at its own expense, promote the sale of the
manufacturers' machines and assist the manufacturers in maintaining their
competitive positions, maintain an efficient sales staff, provide for the proper
installation, maintenance and servicing of the machines, maintain adequate
inventory of parts and pay for all costs of advertising the machines. Wink Davis
believes that it is and will remain in compliance in all material respects with
such covenants.
Additionally, Wink Davis, under written agreements and other arrangements with
OEMs, distributes other laundry related equipment. The following table sets
forth, in alphabetical order, certain information concerning the additional
distribution agreements:

SALES AND MARKETING
Wink Davis' primary products include washers, dryers, ironers and other
finishing equipment. Some of the larger installations include continuous batch
washers ("CBW's"), large dryers, pressing and folding equipment and conveyor
systems resulting in the laundering process being substantially automated. The
majority of the sales consist of washers, with less than 165 pound capacity per
load ("white machines"), and corresponding dryers. CBW systems or tunnels are
highly customized with a variety of features depending on the unique needs and
constraints of each customer. Sales orders are generated through a variety of
methods including repeat business referrals, cold calls and unsolicited
telephone orders. Typical sales terms on larger contracts require 15% down with
the balance due 10 days after delivery. At September 4, 1999, Wink Davis
employed approximately 11 sales persons and 41 technical representatives.
Most used equipment in smaller facilities has little value and there is
little demand for that type of used laundry equipment. Accordingly, Wink Davis
rarely accepts trade-ins of low capacity used equipment, nor do they purchase
used equipment of that nature. Some used CBW units can be rebuilt at a
substantial reduction in price to new units. Wink Davis does occasionally find
sales opportunities of this type. Many large orders, especially those at new
construction sites, require newly designed or modified electrical, plumbing,
construction or other work at the customer site. Wink Davis often subcontracts
these tasks for the customer in conjunction with the sale. Wink Davis has a
staff of CAD operators, and service personnel who assist and support outside
contractors to ensure that the facilities are properly prepared prior to the
delivery of equipment. Wink Davis personnel install the equipment and provide
training for the customers' operators. Smaller white sales generally require
less support and frequently consist of matching the specifications of the newly
ordered machine to the existing site.
Additionally, Wink Davis provides repair and maintenance services to OPL
facilities. Customers' OPL facilities are typically operated and managed by the
property, maintenance or janitorial staffs. These staffs are often small with
broad areas of responsibilities and limited technical expertise, especially for
specific maintenance and repair issues of the laundry equipment. Accordingly,
Wink Davis provides a full range of repair and maintenance services. Each sales
office is staffed by four or more technicians. Each technician travels to the
customer's site in a maintenance van, fully stocked with the most commonly
needed parts. Upon notification, Wink Davis will dispatch and commonly have a
technician addressing the problem within 24 hours. If additional parts are
required, they may be ordered from the main Atlanta warehouse or shipped
directly from the manufacturer.
CUSTOMERS
5
Wink Davis has over 4,000 customers ranging in size from single washing
machine facilities to large laundry systems in hospitals or linen supply houses.
Customers purchasing laundry machines typically continue their association with
Wink Davis through purchase of repair parts or through service calls for
equipment repairs. No customer represents more than 10% of Wink Davis' business.
Accordingly, the loss of any single customer would not materially affect the
operations of Wink Davis.
COMPETITION
The laundry equipment business is very competitive. Wink Davis competes
directly with several other distributors representing other OEMs. Wink Davis
believes the products they represent are of equal quality. In some instances,
Wink Davis may be at a price disadvantage when a customer considers price only.
Many sales of white machines are price sensitive, however this varies by region.
The purchase decision on larger installations is less price sensitive as these
customers are more concerned about production output and quality, and the
seller's ability to efficiently service the machines being purchased. Wink Davis
maintains a well-trained staff of technicians covering all geographic areas of
distribution. Management believes this staff is more comprehensive than any
maintained by the competition.
TMC
TMC assembles automated boarding and finishing equipment for the sock
manufacturing industry. Management believes significant potential exists for
automating finishing operations in mills that specialize in high volume
production which is sold through large discount retail chains. Typically, this
denotes athletic socks, but may also include single-color dress socks.
The current technology for athletic sock knitting operations is considered
highly automated and capital intensive. Raw material on yarn cones directly
feeds a machine which knits the entire product. A second off line operation
closes the toe using automated turners and toe closing equipment. Finishing
processes, unlike knitting operations, are significantly labor intensive.
Through a series of steps, socks are boarded, trimmed, paired and bagged.
TMC's machine significantly automates this process. In addition to boarding,
trimming, pairing and bagging, the equipment can also insert j-hooks (a small
plastic hanger for a display case), transfer print and board.
PRODUCTION
The production process is basically assembly. Many of the electronic,
pneumatic, and structural parts are standard items available from various
distributors. A significant portion of the hardware and structural components
are custom designed and ordered. As of September 4, 1999, TMC employed 10 direct
assemblers, 5 indirect laborers, and 2 persons in research and development. All
assembly is done at TMC's leased facility on Patterson Avenue in Winston-Salem,
NC. TMC is also developing packaging applications for use outside the hosiery
industry.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
TMC has 2 employees in research and development, including William Todd, the
former owner and current Vice President. Key components of the product have been
patented and several other patents are pending. Currently, the research and
development staff is developing equipment for additional hosiery manufacturing
functions and other packaging applications, possibly outside the hosiery
industry.
SALES AND MARKETING
TMC was acquired by Speizman on February 6, 1998. Prior to the acquisition,
equipment was sold directly through TMC's sales force. After the acquisition,
all sales are now made through Speizman Industries' sales force. The customer
base for TMC's product significantly overlaps with the customer base for hosiery
knitting machinery.
COMPETITION
Competition consists of domestic and foreign manufacturers of similar
equipment. Such competitors consist of both large and small firms, many of which
compete intensely with TMC.
SPEIZMAN YARN
6
Speizman Yarn distributes yarn processing equipment and parts and provides
related services. Speizman Yarn was incorporated in August 1998 when the Company
was granted the distribution rights of Fratelli Marzoli & C. SpA ("Marzoli") and
Vouk SpA Officine Meccasnotessili ("Vouk"). Vouk is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Marzoli. The Company has exclusive North American distribution rights of these
companies' products through December 31, 2000.
In additionally, the Speizman Yarn, under written and other arrangements with
OEM's distributes other textile equipment. The following table sets forth
certain information concerning the additional distribution agreements.
- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Barcelona, Spain systems
Meccanica Carresi S.r.L. Preparatory machinery for worsted, semi- United States and Canada
Arezzo, Italy worsted or woolen spinning systems
- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SALES AND MARKETING
Speizman Yarn's primary products include yarn processing equipment and parts
and related service. The Company's primary suppliers are Marzoli and Vouk, both
Italian corporations. Prior to granting the distribution rights to Speizman
Yarn, Marzoli distributed directly in North America through a wholly-owned
subsidiary.
CUSTOMERS
There are a limited number of yarn processing companies in the United
States. Yarn processing equipment requires a large capital investment. Yarn
processing entails conversion of raw bales of cotton into yarn and thread on
cones which are then sold to textile knitters and weavers. This process involves
opening, carding, drawing, combing, roving and spinning. Substantially all of
the Company's customers complete all of these processes. The cost of a new
production line for all of these processes currently exceeds several million
dollars. Many customers with existing plants typically replace selected
components of the process at a time.
The Company's customers, i.e. yarn processors, are currently facing
difficult business conditions due to foreign competition.
COMPETITION
Competition in the yarn processing equipment industry is intense. Most
manufacturers are located in Europe. Many of these manufacturers sell direct,
without a national distributor such as Speizman Yarn. Different manufacturers
are typically known for specific strengths in specific processes. Both Marzoli
and Vouk offer equipment for all processes and therefore may have a competitive
advantage when the customer is purchasing a complete line. However, the Company
may face intense competition when bidding on a particular part of the processing
line.
REGULATORY MATTERS
The Company is subject to various federal, state and local statutes and
regulations relating to the protection of the environment and safety in the work
place. The failure by the Company to comply with any of such statutes or
regulations could result in significant monetary penalties, the cessation of
certain of its operations, or both. Management believes that the Company's
current operations are in compliance with applicable environmental and work
place safety statutes and regulations in all material respects. The Company's
compliance with these statutes and regulations has not materially affected its
business; however, the Company cannot predict the future effects of compliance
with such statutes or regulations.
EMPLOYEES
As of September 4, 1999, the Company had 216 full-time employees. The
Company's employees are not represented by a labor union, and the Company has
never suffered an interruption of business as a result of a labor dispute.
The Company considers its relations with its employees to be good.

BACKLOG
The Company's backlog of unfilled orders for new and used machines was $53.6
million, $24.5 million and $16.8 million at July 3, 1999, June 27, 1998 and June
28, 1997, respectively. Management believes that all Speizman Industries'
unfilled orders at July 3, 1999 will be filled by the end of fiscal 2000. The
period of time required to fill orders varies depending on the machine ordered.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
The Company is the defendant in a lawsuit brought by Bluegrass Hosiery,
Inc., now pending in a Kentucky Federal Court, in which Bluegrass alleges that
the Company breached a contract in which it sold machines to Bluegrass, and
seeking damages, including punitive damages, in an unspecified amount. The
Company vigorously denies the allegations. The Company filed a motion to dismiss
the case on procedural grounds, because it could have brought the same claims in
an earlier pending action in North Carolina which has now been settled. The
District Court allowed the motion, but Bluegrass has appealed the dismissal to
the Federal Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, which has not yet acted.
The Company firmly believes that the District Court acted correctly in
dismissing the case on procedural grounds, and that it also has a strong case on
the merits, even if the Circuit Court should reverse the dismissal.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
No matters were submitted to a vote of the Company's security holders during
the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
NOTE REGARDING PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT
Statements made by the Company which are not historical facts are forward
looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could
differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward looking statements.
All such forward looking statements are subject to the safe harbor created by
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Important factors that
could cause financial performance to differ materially from past results and
from those expressed and implied in this document include, without limitation,
the risks of acquisition of businesses (including limited knowledge of the
businesses acquired and misrepresentations by sellers) availability of
financing, competition, management's ability to manage growth, loss of
customers, and a variety of other factors.
GENERAL
The Company's revenues are generated primarily from its distribution of
textile equipment (principally knitting equipment and, to a lesser extent, from
the sale of parts used in such equipment and the sale of used equipment) and
commercial laundry equipment and services (principally commercial washers and
dryers and, to a lessor extent, the sale of parts used in such equipment and
related services). The Company began operating in the laundry equipment and
services segment with the purchase of Wink Davis on August 1, 1997.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
YEAR ENDED JULY 3, 1999 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED JUNE 27, 1998
NET REVENUES. Net revenues increased to approximately $101.4 million for the
year ended July 3, 1999, an increase of $10.5 million (or 11.6%) from the prior
year. Revenues substantially increased in the knitted fabric line, yarn
processing line and Wink Davis. Knitted fabric sales increased by $15.5 million
due primarily to sales of equipment for producing seamless garments. Yarn
processing revenues totaled $7.8 million; the line began operations in the
current fiscal year. Wink Davis, which had twelve months operations in the
current year as compared to only eleven in the prior year, had increased
revenues of $4.6 million. These increases were offset by decreased revenues of
hosiery equipment. Hosiery revenues decreased by approximately $18.1 million,
primarily due to lower demand for open toe
10
equipment.
COST OF SALES. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues increased
unfavorably to 84.4% of revenues for the current fiscal year as compared to
81.5% in the prior year. The increase is due to generally lower margins on
hosiery and yarn processing equipment. Hosiery margins decreased due to lower
demand for the open toe equipment being sold by the company in fiscal 1999. Many
customers delayed major purchases of new equipment in anticipation of new closed
toe technology. This technology was actually introduced early in fiscal 2000.
Gross margins on yarn processing equipment were also generally lower than the
Company's historical product lines. These yarn processing sales were on
backorder at the time Speizman assumed operations.
SELLING EXPENSES. Selling expenses increased by $780,000 (or 11.2%) to $7.7
million in fiscal 1999 as compared to $6.9 million in the prior fiscal year. The
increase is primarily due to additional sales expenses of yarn processing
equipment, which began operations in August 1999 and, to a lesser extent, sales
expenses of TMC. These increases were offset by lower commissions relating to
decreased volumes of hosiery equipment sales.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses totaled
approximately $7.4 million, an increase of $1,686,000 (or 29.5%) from the prior
year. One significant reason for the increase is inclusion of a full year's
operations for the Company's subsidiaries. TMC had twelve months operations in
fiscal 1999 as compared to only four months of fiscal 1998. Similarly, Speizman
Yarn commenced operations beginning on August 1, 1998 in the current fiscal
year. Other increases were due to higher salary expenses and bad debts offset
partially by no bonuses for fiscal 1999.
INTEREST EXPENSE. In fiscal 1999, interest expense was approximately
$1,103,000 million as compared to about $988,000 in the prior year. The increase
is due to higher balances on the Company's line of credit and interest expenses
on the recently added obligation under capital lease.
TAXES (BENEFIT) ON INCOME (LOSS). The benefit for income taxes was $126,000
for the current year, a rate of 33.3% of the net loss as compared to the 1998
effective rate of 39.7%.
NET LOSS. Net loss for the year was $253,000 or $0.08 per share basic and
diluted. In the prior year, net income was $1,933,000 or $0.59 per share basic
and $0.56 per share diluted.
YEAR ENDED JUNE 27, 1998 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED JUNE 28, 1997
NET REVENUES. Net revenues in fiscal 1998 were $90.9 million as compared to
$79.1 million in fiscal 1997, an increase of $11.8 million or 14.9%. This
increase is primarily due to the acquisition of Wink Davis on August 1, 1997.
Wink Davis recognized revenues in fiscal 1998 of $23.7 million. Additional
components of the increase include $2.0 million increase from sales of TMC
products (acquired on February 6, 1998) and an increase of $0.7 million in parts
sales, offset by an $10.8 million decrease in hosiery related equipment, a $1.6
million decrease in knitted fabric equipment and a decrease of $2.2 million in
products no longer represented, including sweater, and garment wet processing
equipment.
COST OF SALES. In fiscal 1998 cost of sales were $74.0 million an increase
of $8.1 million from $65.9 million in fiscal 1997. Cost of sales as a percentage
of revenues decrease to 81.5% in fiscal 1998 as compared to 83.3% in fiscal
1997. This decrease results from higher margins on hosiery related parts and
equipment and the exclusion of lower margin liquidations of products
discontinued in 1997. This decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of revenues
was slightly offset by lower margins on Wink Davis sales.
SELLING EXPENSES. Selling expenses increased to $6.9 million in fiscal 1998
as compared to $5.7 million in fiscal 1997. This net increase of $1.1 million
results from increased selling expenses of $1.8 million at Wink Davis and TMC,
offset by decreases of $443,000 in textile equipment related salaries and
commissions and other decreases in letter of credit expenses, professional fees,
advertising and other expense decreases generally related to lower overall sales
volume of textile machinery.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expense increased in
fiscal 1998 to $5.7 million from $3.0 million in fiscal 1997. This increase
results primarily from additional administrative expenses of $1.7 million of
Wink Davis and TMC, and amortization expenses of $405,000.
11
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense is expressed net of interest income. In
fiscal 1998, net interest expense was $1.0 million. This significant increase in
interest expense is related directly to the debt funded acquisitions of Wink
Davis and TMC and capitalized leases.
TAXES (BENEFIT) ON INCOME (LOSS). The provision for income taxes in fiscal
1998 is $1,273,000 or 39.7% of income before taxes. The provision for income
taxes in fiscal 1997 is $1,645,000 or 38.0% of income before taxes.
NET INCOME (LOSS). Net income for fiscal 1998 decreased to $1.9 million
compared to net income of $2.7 million for fiscal 1997. Basic earnings per share
decreased to $0.59 and diluted earnings per share decreased to $0.56. In fiscal
1997, basic earnings per share was $0.83 and diluted earnings per share was
$0.80.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has a credit facility with Bank of America, opened on August 1,
1997, in conjunction with the purchase of Wink Davis, amended on February 6,
1998, in conjunction with the purchase of TMC and expiring on July 31, 2000.
This facility furnished term loan financing for these acquisitions and also
provides a line of credit for direct borrowings and issuance of documentary
letters of credit. The line of credit provides up to $38.3 million, subject to
current collateral balances, including up to a maximum of $8.5 million for
direct borrowings, with the balance available for documentary letters of credit
and term debt. Amounts outstanding under the line of credit bear interest at the
greater of prime plus 1.0% or the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.5% for base rate
loans and the Eurodollar Rate plus 2.0% for Eurodollar loans. In connection with
this line of credit, the Company granted a security interest in accounts
receivable and inventory, as defined in the loan agreement.
Working capital at July 3, 1999 was $16.0 million as compared to $20.2
million at June 27, 1998 a decrease of $4.2 million. Operating activities in
fiscal 1999 provided $3.0 million in cash. In fiscal 1998, operating activities
used $1.3 million of cash. In fiscal 1999, $2.7 million of funds were used by
investing activities, primarily related to the new office and warehouse space.
Financing activities used $1.8 million, primarily related to debt payments and
purchases of treasury stock. In fiscal 1998, significant funds were used in
investing activities, primarily the purchases of Wink Davis and TMC for $9.5
million and $1.8 million respectively. Funds for these acquisitions were
provided from financing activities, primarily through the issuance of $8.3
million in long term notes and $4.0 million of borrowings on the revolving line
of credit.
SEASONALITY AND OTHER FACTORS
There are certain seasonal factors that may affect the Company's business.
Traditionally, manufacturing businesses in Italy close for the month of August,
and the Company's domestic hosiery customers close for one week in July.
Consequently, no shipments or deliveries, as the case may be, of machines
distributed by the Company that are manufactured in Italy are made during these
periods which fall in the Company's first quarter. In addition, manufacturing
businesses in Italy generally close for two weeks in December, during the
Company's second quarter. Fluctuations of customer orders or other factors may
result in quarterly variations in net revenues from year to year.
EFFECTS OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES
Management believes that inflation has not had a material effect on the
Company's operations.
DISCLOSURE ABOUT FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK
Generally, the Company's purchases of foreign manufactured machinery for
resale are denominated in Italian lira. In the ordinary course of business, the
Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the effect of
foreign currency movements between the Italian lira and the U.S. dollar from the
time of placing the Company's purchase order until final payment for the
purchase is made. The contracts have maturity dates that do not generally exceed
12 months. Substantially all of the increase or decrease of the lira denominated
purchase price is offset by the gains and losses of the foreign exchange
contract. The unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are deferred and
recognized in the results of operations in the period in which the hedged
transaction is consummated.
A substantial portion of the Company's textile machine and spare part
purchases are denominated and payable in Italian lira. Currency fluctuations of
the lira could result in substantial price level changes and therefore impede or
12
promote import/export sales and substantially impact profits. However, to reduce
exposure to adverse foreign currency fluctuations during the period from
customer orders to payment for goods sold, the Company enters into forward
exchange contracts. The Company is not able to assess the quantitative effect
that such currency fluctuations could have upon the Company's operations. There
can be no assurance that fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates will
not have a significant adverse effect on future operations.
At July 3, 1999, the Company had contracts maturing through June 2000 to
purchase approximately 93.2 billion lira for approximately $49.3 million, which
approximates the spot rate on that date.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
Many computer systems and other electronic equipment with embedded
microprocessors were designed to recognize only the last two digits of the year.
With the arrival of the Year 2000 ("Y2K"), these systems and microprocessors may
encounter operating problems due to their inability to distinguish years after
1999 from years preceding 1999. As a result, the Company has been identifying,
rectifying or replacing computer systems or other electronic component that are
not Y2K compliant. Examples of equipment the company has been analyzing include
its primary accounting system, other information systems and various support
equipment, the products distributed by the company and other products and
services procured by the Company.
The Company has reviewed its primary information system. In the fall of 1998
the Company upgraded this system by increasing two digit date fields to four
digits. Costs incurred in this project were not significant. Presently, all
subsidiaries (Wink Davis, TMC and Speizman Yarn) and Speizman Industries use
this system for all primary accounting functions. All known issues in the
primary accounting system relating to Y2K have been resolved. In the spring of
1999 Wink Davis was converted to this information system from their previous
system which was not Y2K compliant. At the time of the purchase of Wink Davis on
August 1, 1997, management planned to integrate Wink Davis' information system
into the existing system used by Speizman Industries. This integration project,
which was not accelerated due to the Y2K issue, cost approximately $ 125,000.
These costs were expensed in fiscal 1999.
The Company does use various other information systems and electronic
support equipment such as telephone and voice mail systems, computer programs
and computer equipment. The Company is currently in the process of making these
non-critical systems Y2K compliant and the Company anticipates that this will be
done by the end of November 1999. These systems will be upgraded through a
combination of modifications done by Company staff and various software patches
from major vendors of telecommunications equipment. Costs incurred in these
projects are not expected to be significant.
A substantial portion of the equipment distributed by the Company has
computerized controls and features. However, to the Company's knowledge, no
operating features are dependent on time or date functions. Additionally, the
Company has received similar assurances from its major suppliers.
The Company is reliant on material vendors, suppliers and customers to
ensure that the Company for a number of critical operations. We are unable to
control the actions of others with respect to their Year 2000 compliance.
However, our material suppliers and service providers are large companies within
their industries and have much at stake in ensuring their own compliance. We
have questioned significant third parties regarding compliance and to date have
not been advised of any major non-compliance issues. Non-compliance by any of
these companies could have a materially adverse impact on the Company. We will
continue this process and in the Fall of 1999 the Company will develop
appropriate contingency plans.
The estimates and conclusions in this description of the Y2K issue contain
forward-looking statements and are based on management's estimates of future
events.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES (SFAS No. 133), as amended by SFAS
No. 137, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts, and for hedging activities. This statement is effective for all
fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Management is
presently assessing the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 133 on its
consolidated financial statements.
13
In May, 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued
Statement of Position 98-5, REPORTING ON THE COSTS AT START-UP ACTIVITIES. SOP
98-5 requires that entities expense start-up costs and organization costs as
they are incurred. SOP 98-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1998. Management does not anticipate SOP 98-5 having a material
impact on its consolidated financial statements.

[BDO SEIDMAN LETTERHEAD]
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Speizman Industries, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
SPEIZMAN INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES as of July 3, 1999 and June
27, 1998, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended July 3, 1999. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits
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 financial position of

SPEIZMAN INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements of Speizman Industries, Inc. and
subsidiaries (collectively the "Company") include all of its subsidiaries, all
of which are wholly owned. All material intercompany transactions (domestic and
foreign) have been eliminated. The financial statements of the Company's United
Kingdom subsidiary were translated from pounds sterling to U.S. dollars in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The United Kingdom
subsidiary was liquidated on June 28, 1997. Wink Davis Equipment Company, Inc.
("Wink Davis") was acquired on August 1, 1997. Todd Motion Controls, Inc.
("TMC") was acquired on February 6, 1998. Speizman Yarn Equipment Co., Inc.
("Speizman Yarn") began operations on August 1, 1998.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The major portion of the Company's revenues consists of sales and
commissions on sales of machinery and equipment. The profit derived therefrom is
recognized in full at the time of shipment.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less
to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount of cash equivalents approximates
fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market. Cost is computed,
in the case of machines, on an identified cost basis and, in the case of other
inventories, on an average cost basis.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed over
the estimated useful lives of the assets by the straight-line method for
financial reporting purposes and by accelerated methods for income tax purposes.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONTRACTS
The Company enters into foreign currency contracts to reduce the foreign
currency exchange risks. Foreign currency hedging contracts obligate the Company
to buy a specified amount of a foreign currency at a fixed price in specific
future periods. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are recognized in net
income in the period of the underlying transaction. As of July 3, 1999, the
Company had contracts maturing through June 2000 to purchase approximately 93.2
billion Lira for approximately $49.3 million, which approximates the spot rate
on that date.
TAXES ON INCOME
Deferred tax assets or liabilities at the end of each period are
determined using the tax rate expected to be in effect when taxes are actually
paid or recovered. Income tax expense will increase or decrease in the same
period in which a change in tax rates is enacted.
INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic net income per share includes no dilution and is calculated by
dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
for the period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution of
securities that could share in the net income of the Company which consists of
stock options (using the treasury stock method).
FISCAL YEAR
The Company maintains its accounting records on a 52-53 week fiscal year.
The fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to June 30. The year ending July 3,
1999 included 53 weeks. Years ending June 27, 1998 and June 28, 1997 included 52
weeks.
F-6
SPEIZMAN INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (CONTINUED)
ADVERTISING
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Total advertising
expense approximated $145,000, $97,000 and $95,000 for fiscal years 1999, 1998
and 1997, respectively.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial instruments of the Company include long-term debt and line of
credit agreements. Based upon the current borrowing rates available to the
Company, estimated fair values of these financial instruments approximate their
recorded carrying amounts.
USE OF ESTIMATES IN PREPARING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications were made to the prior years' financial
statements to conform to the current year presentation.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES (SFAS No. 133), as amended by SFAS
No. 137, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts, and for hedging activities. This statement is effective for all
fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Management is
presently assessing the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 133 on its
consolidated financial statements.
In May, 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
issued Statement of Position 98-5, REPORTING ON THE COSTS AT START-UP
ACTIVITIES. SOP 98-5 requires that entities expense start-up costs and
organization costs as they are incurred. SOP 98-5 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1998. Management does not anticipate SOP 98-5
having a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
F-7
SPEIZMAN INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 -- BUSINESS AND CREDIT RISK CONCENTRATION
The Company is engaged in the distribution of machinery for the textile
and commercial laundry industries. With operations in the United States, Canada,
Mexico and formerly the United Kingdom, the Company primarily sells to customers
located within the United States. Export sales from the United States were
approximately $13,941,000, $15,992,000 and $12,433,000 during fiscal 1999, 1998
and 1997, respectively. There were no export sales by the Canadian operations or
the commercial laundry operations.
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to credit
risk consist principally of temporary cash investments and trade receivables.
The Company places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality
financial institutions and, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure to
any one financial institution.
The Company reviews a customer's credit history before extending credit.
An allowance for doubtful accounts is established based upon factors surrounding
the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.
To reduce credit risk the Company generally requires a down payment on large
equipment orders.
A substantial amount of the Company's revenues are generated from the
sale of sock knitting and other machines manufactured by Lonati, S.p.A. and one
of its wholly owned subsidiaries (Santoni). Sales by the Company in the United
States and Canada of machines manufactured by Lonati, S.p.A., generated the
following percentages of the Company's net revenues: 22.5% in 1999, 41.1% in
1998 and 60.1% in 1997. In addition, sales of Santoni machines in the United
States and Canada generated 20.3%, 5.3%, and 7.0% of the Company's net revenues
in fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. In 1999, there were no sales to
customers in excess of 10% of revenues. In 1998, sales to one customer
approximated 12% of revenues. In 1997, approximately 11% and 10% of revenues
consisted of sales to the Company's two largest customers. Generally, the
customers contributing the most to the Company's net revenues vary from year to
year.

NOTE 4 - GOODWILL
Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the cost of purchased businesses
over the value of their underlying net assets and is amortized on a
straight-line basis over fifteen years. Goodwill is net of accumulated
amortization of $767,500 at July 3, 1999 and $327,500 at June 27, 1998.
SPEIZMAN INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)

NOTE 5 -- LEASES
The Company conducts its operations from leased real properties, which
include offices, warehouses and a manufacturing facility.
The former primary operating facility of the textile operations and
corporate offices is leased from a partnership in which Mr. Robert S. Speizman,
the Company's President, has a 50% interest. In April 1999, the Company
relocated these functions to a newly renovated facility. Warehouse space at the
former location continues to be leased on a monthly basis pending completion
(projected as December 1999) of additional warehouse space at the new facility.
Lease payments to the partnership approximated $336,000, $356,000 and $356,000
in fiscal years 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
In April 1999, several textile machinery warehouses and the corporate
offices were located into a new facility. This new facility is leased from The
Speizman LLC, a limited liability company owned by Mr. Speizman, his wife and
their children. This lease, which extends through October 2012, has been
accounted for as a capital lease. Lease payments to the LLC, net of sublease
payments received in 1998 from the former lessor, approximated $659,000 in
fiscal 1999 and $307,000 in fiscal 1998.
SFAS No. 13, ACCOUNTING FOR LEASES, states that if the fair value of the
land is 25% or more of the total fair value, the land and building elements
should be accounted for separately. Accordingly, the company recognizes two
components of this lease. The portion of the lease payments applicable to the
land is treated as an operating lease. Under SFAS No. 13, the annual rental rate
attributable to the land is calculated using the fair value of the land at the
Company's incremental borrowing rate. The remaining portion of the minimum lease
payments are attributed to the building component. The building component is
treated as a capital lease with an imputed interest rate based on the fair value
of the building, lease term and the allocated building component of the lease
payments. The capital lease components applicable to the building are:
Lease term........................................................ 180 months
Allocated value of the building ................................. $ 1,900,000
Portion of monthly lease payments allocated to building ......... $ 40,500
Imputed interest rate............................................. 25%
The Speizman LLC is adding an additional 100,000 square feet of warehouse
space to the facilities currently being leased. This construction is expected to
be completed in December 1999. Speizman Industries, Inc. expects to lease this
property also, at which time the Company will consolidate the remaining textile
equipment warehouses to this single location.
The primary operating facility and certain sales offices of the laundry
equipment and services operations are leased from a partnership in which Mr. C.
Alexander Davis, President of Wink Davis, has a 50% interest. The leases extend
through 2001. Lease payments to the partnership were approximately $216,000 and
$216,000 in fiscal 1999 and 1998, respectively.
As of July 3, 1999, future net minimum lease payments under capital and
operating leases that have initial or remaining noncancelable term in excess of
one year are as follows:

NOTE 7 -- LINE OF CREDIT
The Company has a credit facility with Bank of America, opened on
August 1, 1997, in conjunction with the purchase of Wink Davis, amended on
February 6, 1998, in conjunction with the purchase of TMC and expiring on July
31, 2000. This facility furnished term loan financing for these acquisitions and
also provides a line of credit for direct borrowings and issuance of documentary
letters of credit. The credit facility provides up to $38.3 million, subject to
current collateral balances, including up to a maximum of $8.5 million for
direct borrowings, with the balance available for documentary letters of credit
and term debt. Amounts outstanding under the line of credit bear interest at the
greater of prime plus 1.0% or the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.5% for base rate
loans and the Eurodollar Rate plus 2.0% for Eurodollar loans. At July 3, 1999,
the Company had borrowed $4,900,000 under this line of credit. $4,000,000 was
fixed under a 30-day Eurodollar facility expiring July 28, 1999 bearing interest
of 7.14%. The remaining $900,000 bears interest of 9.0%.
The credit facility contains certain covenants that require, among other
things, the Company to maintain levels of current assets to current liabilities,
working capital, tangible net worth, restrictions on dividends, and certain
fixed charge coverage. The credit facility is secured by accounts receivable and
inventory.

NOTE 8 -- LONG-TERM DEBT
Long-term debt consists primarily of a term loan with Bank of America and
an obligation under capital lease with the Speizman LLC.
The term loan with Bank of America provided $8.3 million used for
financing the acquisitions of Wink Davis and TMC. The repayment schedule
requires quarterly principal payments of $380,000, a single annual prepayment
calculated as a percentage of the prior year's adjusted earnings, and the
balance due on the loan's expiration date, July 31, 2000. The Company expects to
refinance the loan prior to the expiration date.
The term loan agreement permits the Company to select either a base
interest rate or a Eurodollar interest rate plus 2.0%. The base interest is the
greater of prime plus 1.0% or the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 1.5%. At
July 3, 1999, $5,300,000 of the term loan was borrowed under the Eurodollar
selection bearing interest at 7.096% and the balance of $20,000 was borrowed
under the base rate selection bearing interest at 9.0%.
The term loan agreement requires that the Company enter an interest rate
swap agreement for a portion of the outstanding principal. The swap agreement is
an interest rate hedge which, in effect, converts the interest rate from a
variable to a fixed rate over a three-month period. At July 3, 1999, $5,300,000
was fixed at an interest rate of 7.096% through September 10, 1999.
The obligation under the capital lease represents the building component
of the Company's lease of its corporate offices and textile machinery
warehouses. The obligation is based on allocated monthly principal and interest
payments of $40,500, for fifteen years ending October 2012 at an imputed
interest rate of 25%.
Long-term debt consists of:

SPEIZMAN INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
The Company has adopted the disclosure only provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
(SFAS No. 123). Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the
stock option plans. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date
of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following
weighted-average assumptions for grants: expected lives of 10.0 years, expected
volatility of 0.574, risk-free interest rate of 6.5% and dividend yield of 0.0%.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for estimating the
fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. Because option valuation models require the use of subjective
assumptions and changes in these assumptions can materially impact the fair
value of the options and the Company's options do not have the characteristics
of traded options, the option valuation models do not necessarily provide a
reliable measure of the fair value of its options. The estimated fair value of
stock options granted during fiscal 1998 and 1997 was $4.69 and $4.46 per share,
respectively.
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the
options is amortized to expense over the options vesting period. Had
compensation cost for the Company's stock option plans been determined based on
the fair value at the grant date for awards consistent with the provisions of
SFAS No. 123, the Company's net earnings and earnings per share would have been
changed to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

NOTE 10 -- STOCK REDEMPTION AGREEMENTS
The Company has an agreement with its principal stockholder whereby, upon
his death, the Company is obligated to redeem a portion of the stock in the
Company held by his estate. The redemption price for common stock is to be the
fair market value of common stock, less 5%, plus any accrued dividends. In no
case will the Company pay out more than the amount of life insurance proceeds
received by the Company as a result of the death of the stockholder, nor will
the Company redeem a number of shares that would reduce the principal holder's
estate's percentage of the outstanding common stock of the Company to less than
16%.
At July 3, 1999, there were 334,000 common shares covered by the above
agreement. The face value of life insurance carried by the Company under this
agreement amounts to $1,150,000.

NOTE 11 -- DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS
The Company has deferred compensation agreements with three employees
providing for payments amounting to $3,371,580 upon retirement and from
$1,546,740 to $2,181,600 upon death prior to retirement. One agreement, as
modified, has been in effect since 1972, the second agreement was effective
October 1989 and the third agreement effective June 1999. The earliest of the
agreements matured in December 1998. The agreements provide for monthly payments
on retirement or death benefits over fifteen year periods. The agreements are
funded under trust agreements whereby the Company pays to the trust amounts
necessary to pay premiums on life insurance policies carried to meet the
obligations under the deferred compensation agreements.
Charges to operations applicable to those agreements were approximately
$113,000, $50,000 and $49,000 for the fiscal years 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.
NOTE 12 -- EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT PLAN
The Company adopted a 401(k) retirement plan, effective October 1, 1989,
for all qualified employees of the Company to participate in the plan. Employees
may contribute a percentage of their pretax eligible compensation to the plan,
and the Company matches 50% (25% prior to September 13, 1996) of each employee's
contribution up to 4% of pretax eligible compensation. The Company's matching
contributions totaled approximately $160,000, $107,000 and $47,000 in fiscal
years 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
NOTE 13 -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company had outstanding commitments backed by letters of credit of
approximately $11,825,000 and $8,220,000 at July 3, 1999 and June 27, 1998,
respectively, relating to the purchase of machine inventory for delivery to
customers.
In the normal course of business, the Company is often named in various
lawsuits. The Company vigorously defends such lawsuits, none of which are
expected to have a material impact on operations, either individually or in the
aggregate.
NOTE 14 - BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS AND EXPANSION
On August 1, 1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of
Wink Davis, a Georgia corporation. The acquisition was accounted for as a
purchase and accordingly, Wink Davis' results for the eleven months since the
date of acquisition are included in the consolidated financial statements for
the year ended June 27, 1998. The aggregate purchase price was approximately
$9,468,000. There is a possible additional conditional payment of up to $1.5
million in cash over a five-year period based on certain pre-tax earnings
calculations. The aggregate purchase price, which was financed through available
cash resources, borrowings on the revolving line of credit and issuance of a
term loan, has been allocated to the assets acquired based upon their respective
fair market values. The excess of the purchase price over assets acquired
(goodwill) approximated $4,344,000 and is being amortized over fifteen years.
On February 6, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of
TMC, a North Carolina corporation. For financial statement purposes the
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, TMC's results are
included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition.
The aggregate purchase price was approximately $1,841,000. The aggregate
purchase price, which was financed through available cash resources, borrowings
on the revolving line of credit and issuance of a term loan, has been allocated
to the assets acquired based upon their respective fair market values. The
excess of the purchase price over assets acquired (goodwill) approximated
$2,094,000 and is being amortized over fifteen years.

NOTE 15 - SEGMENT INFORMATION
During fiscal 1999, the Company adopted Standard of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 131, DISCLOSURES ABOUT SEGMENTS OF AN ENTERPRISE and RELATED
INFORMATION (SFAS No. 131). SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the way that
public companies report information about operating segments in annual financial
statements and requires reporting of selected information about operating
segments in interim financial statements issued to the public. SFAS No. 131
defines operating segments as components of a company about which separate
financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief
operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing
performance. Adoption of SFAS No. 131 did not alter the Company's reportable
segments.
The Company operates primarily in two segments of business, textile
equipment and laundry equipment and services. Prior to the acquisition of Wink
Davis on August 1, 1997, the Company operated only in the textile segment. TMC
is included in the textile equipment classification. The table below summarizes
financial data by segment.
