PART III – NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Management of International Textile Group, Inc. (the “Company”) is in the process of finalizing the financial statements and related disclosures to be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. As part of that process, management is engaged in discussions with lenders under its credit facilities with respect to, among other things, completing a proposed realignment of certain of the Company’s operating entities and agreeing to related modifications to the financial and operating covenants under the terms of its credit facilities. As previously disclosed, the Company has been engaged in negotiations with certain of its lenders with respect to the completion of an operational realignment, on terms satisfactory to the lenders under the credit facilities to which the Company’s subsidiary BST US Holdings LLC (f/k/a BST US Holdings, Inc.) is a party (the “BST Credit Facility”), on or before January 14, 2008, which date was subsequently extended to April 14, 2008. The process of completing the financial statements and related information required to be included in the Form 10-K cannot be finalized until the terms, conditions and structure of the realignment are agreed upon, which process could not be completed prior to the scheduled filing deadline for the Form 10-K. In the event that the Company and the lenders under the BST Credit Facility are unable to reach agreement on the terms, conditions and structure of the realignment, including the related covenant modifications, by a mutually agreed upon deadline, such circumstances could give rise to an event of default under the BST Credit Facility, in which event the lenders thereunder would have the right to seek acceleration of the maturity of the debt obligations under that facility. Accordingly, our independent registered accounting firm has informed us that if their opinion on the Company’s financial statements were to be issued as of


the date hereof it would contain a modification of its opinion regarding uncertainty with respect to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern with respect to the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007. While the Company believes that the realignment can be completed by April 14, 2008, or that the requisite number of lenders will waive or modify that requirement, there can be no assurance that it will be so completed or that such a waiver or modification will be obtained.
