Selected Financial Data The selected historical financial data presented below for 1996, 1995 and 1994 were derived from the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 (the "Consolidated Financial Statements"), and should be read in conjunction therewith, including the notes thereto and the other financial information included elsewhere herein. Information for periods subsequent to September 30, 1992 was prepared under the principles of "Fresh Start" reporting and is not comparable to the information for prior periods. Accordingly, a bold vertical line has been used to separate such information. The statement of operations data reflect the discontinuance of all operations other than Home Fashions and the Alamac Knits Subsidiary.

See footnotes on following page. 3 (1)The results for the year ended December 31, 1993 include restructuring expense of $200 million ($117.8 million after minority interest and income taxes). The charge related to (a) the closing and consolidation of certain facilities; (b) the write-off of certain equipment; and (c) severance, outplacement and other costs associated with plant closures and overhead reductions. (2)Upon the consummation of a "prepackaged" plan of reorganization, the Company established a new basis of accounting ("Fresh Start"). In Fresh Start reporting, the Company's assets and liabilities were evaluated and stated at their fair values as of September 30, 1992. The resulting adjustments to the Company's consolidated assets and liabilities, primarily reflecting reorganization expenses of approximately $612.5 million and an extraordinary gain on debt discharge of approximately $1,142 million, increased the Company's stockholders' equity by approximately $1,800 million. The total reorganization value of the Company was based on management's estimate of the fair value of the Company's debt and Common Stock. These estimates resulted in management's estimated reorganization value of approximately $1 billion, of which the Excess Reorganization Value was $637.5 million. (3)Operating earnings (loss) for the year ended December 31, 1995 includes amortization of excess reorganization value of $177.7 million, for the year ended December 31, 1994 includes amortization of excess reorganization value of $236.9 million, for the year ended December 31, 1993 includes restructuring expense of $200 million, amortization of excess reorganization value of $221.6 million and, for the three months ended December 31, 1992 includes amortization of excess reorganization value of $31.9 million. (4)Per share amounts for periods prior to October 1, 1992, have not been presented because they are not meaningful due to the implementation of "Fresh Start" reporting. (5)Working capital (deficiency) for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995, 1994, 1993 and 1992 includes the current portion of bank indebtedness and other long-term debt of $24.0 million, $73.0 million, $48.0 million, $18.0 million, and $998.1 million, respectively. (6)Excludes amortization of excess reorganization value. (7)Such amounts are presented to facilitate comparisons between periods since there were no charges in the 1996 period for amortization of excess reorganization value, goodwill amortization or restructuring expense. (8)Operating margin before amortization of excess reorganization value, goodwill amortization and restructuring expense represents operating earnings before amortization of excess reorganization value, goodwill amortization and restructuring expense as a percentage of net sales for the periods presented. 4 PART IV ITEM 14.
