Management Opinion In the opinion of management the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of results for such periods. The results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1994. 2. Other Expense, Net Included in other expense, net are: currency transactions, $.1 million income in 1995 and $.5 million expense in 1994, pre-receivable sales, $.2 million in 1994, amortization of debt issuance costs and loan origination fees of $.4 million in 1995 and $.2 million in 1994, interest rate protection agreements, $.3 million income in 1995, and other miscellaneous expenses none of which are significant in 1995 and 1994. 3. Earnings Per Share Earnings per share on common stock are computed using the weighted average number of shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock outstanding during each year. Options granted under the Company's stock option plans were not dilutive at March 31, 1995 and 1994. The convertible subordinated debentures are not common stock equivalents and will not affect primary earnings per share. Further, the convertible subordinated debentures were not dilutive at March 31, 1995 and 1994. 4. Income Taxes The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 1995 was 40.0% as compared to 43.0% for the same period last year and approximates the anticipated effective tax rate for the full year 1995. The decrease is due principally to the fact that the 1994 rate included an accrual of net charges associated with prior years resulting from both U.S. and non-U.S. examinations. 5. Debt In March 1995, the Company amended its existing $125 million revolving credit agreement, with its principal banks in the United States, to increase the banks' commitment to $150 million and to extend the maturity to the year 2000 with more favorable terms. Pricing will be based on a margin over floating rate cost of banks' funding and varies depending upon the Company's performance. 6. Supplementary Cash Flow Information Interest paid for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 was $6.8 million and $3.4 million, respectively. Taxes paid for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 were $.6 million and $5.7 million, respectively. -4- ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995 The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: Net sales increased to $154.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1995 compared with $131.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1994. The effect of the weaker U.S. dollar as compared to the first quarter of 1994 was to increase net sales by $3.0 million. Excluding this effect, 1995 net sales increased 15.0%. All geographic regions reported sales increases with the exception of Mexico, which was affected by the peso devaluation. The Company continues to gain market share in Forming Fabrics and Dryer Fabrics and retain its Press Fabrics market share. During the three months ended March 31, 1995, price increases of 5% for the United States, 6% for Canada and for selective European markets and Mexico became effective. It is expected that the average effect of price increases for the full year will be approximately 3%. Gross profit was 40.8% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1995 as compared to 38.2% for the three months ended March 31, 1994. Year to date variable costs as a percent of net sales increased from 31.2% in 1994 to 31.9% for the same period in 1995, due mainly to increased sales of product lines with higher cost to sales dollar ratios. Selling, technical, general and research expenses increased 13.8% for the three months ended March 31, 1995 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1994. The translation of non-U.S. currencies into more U.S. dollars increased those expenses by $1.2 million. Excluding this effect, expenses would have increased 10.8%. Temporary increases associated with the introduction of a new Press Fabric product and exchange losses on trade receivables, principally in Europe, accounted for a significant portion of the increase. Operating income as a percentage of net sales increased to 11.8% for the three months ended March 31,1995 from 8.3% for the comparable period in 1994 due to items discussed above. Management anticipates that operating income as a percentage of net sales should continue to improve in 1995. Interest expense increased compared to the three months ended March 31, 1994 due to higher interest rates and higher total debt. The tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 1995 is 40.0% as compared to 43.0% for the comparable period in 1994 and approximates the anticipated effective rate for the full year 1995. The rate decrease is due principally to the fact that the 1994 rate included an accrual of net charges associated with prior years resulting from both U.S. and non-U.S. examinations. 5 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES: Inventories increased $5.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 1995 due to the weakening U.S. dollar and high orders which resulted in some building of inventory in anticipation of future sales. In March 1995, the Company amended its existing $125 million revolving credit agreement, with its principal banks in the United States, to increase the banks commitment to $150 million and to extend the maturity to the year 2000 with more favorable terms. Pricing will be based on a margin over floating rate cost of banks funding and varies depending upon the Company's performance. Management believes that the unused line, in combination with expected free cash flows, should be sufficient to meet operating requirements and for business opportunities and acquisitions which support corporate strategies to enhance value to customers and shareholders. Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 1995 were $8.9 million as compared to $8.0 million for the same period last year. The Company anticipates that capital expenditures for the full year will be approximately $40 million. The Company will finance these expenditures with cash from operations and existing credit facilities. A cash dividend of $.0875 per share, which was declared for the fourth quarter of 1994, was paid in the first quarter of 1995. The Company also declared a cash dividend of $.0875 per share for the first quarter of 1995 which will be paid in the second quarter of this year. 6 Part II - Other Information ITEM 6.

The calculation includes all options whose exercise price is below the higher of the average or ending stock price. (5) The subordinated debentures are convertible into 5,712,450 shares of the Company's Class A common stock. There were no conversions as of March 31, 1995. Upon any conversion, the Company would realize an after-tax income adjustment based on the effective interest expense on the bonds less the corresponding income tax deduction. The full amount of the shares and the income adjustment will be included in the calculation only when they cause dilution to net income per share.
