The Holders’ responses to Items 7 through 13 of the cover pages of the statement are incorporated herein by reference. Cover pages have been included in this filing only to the extent a Holder’s beneficial ownership in the securities of the Issuer has changed since the most recent filing of a Schedule 13D amendment to which this statement is an amendment.

According to the Issuer’s most recent Form 10-Q filing with the SEC, the Issuer had 25,941,475shares of Common Stock outstanding as of July 23, 2003. The Holders, as of August 20, 2003, collectively beneficially own 2,459,260 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock and options to purchase 2,000 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock, constituting, in the aggregate, approximately 9.5% of the Issuer’s outstanding voting Common Stock.

This Schedule 13D amendment is filed for the purpose of correcting information previously provided with regard to holdings of and transaction by Robert C. Klas, Sr. First, Amendments No. 21 and 22 to the group’s Schedule 13D indicated that Mr. Klas owned 550,100 shares. This number should have been 550,000 in each instance. Second, Mr. Klas owned an additional 10,000 shares of Cone Mills’ common stock at the time he joined the Section 13(d) filing group. These shares were not reflected in the Committee’s Schedule 13D amendments prior to Amendment No. 21. In Amendment No. 21, the 10,000 shares were included in Mr. Klas’

aggregate holdings without explanation as to their acquisition. These shares were acquired prior to the time that Mr. Klas joined the filing group and continue to be held by him. Finally, Mr. Klas purchased 19,900 shares of Cone Mills’ common stock on May 2, 2003. This transaction was inadvertently not reported on a prior Schedule 13D amendment, although the shares were included in aggregate holdings information both for Mr. Klas and the group. Information regarding this transaction is set forth below.

Name	Date	Type of Transaction	Number of Shares	Price/ Share

Robert C. Klas, Sr.	05/02/03	Buy	19,900	1.448
