"We are pleased to report better than expected net income and earnings per share for a second consecutive quarter," said J. L. Lanier La·nier   , Sidney 1842-1881.

"Our profit improvement came as a result of better manufacturing performance from increased capacity utilization Capacity Utilization measures the rate at which a firm makes use of their capital productive capacities, such as factories and machinery. Capacity Utilization generally rises when the economy is healthy and falls when demand softens. , lower raw material costs, and an improved product mix compared to the second quarter of last year. The sales volume decline in the second quarter of 2002, compared to the same quarter a year ago, was mostly due to lower sales in our home fashions segment. The decline in home fashions sales was due primarily to the fact that the second quarter of 2001 included the rollout of a large juvenile juvenile /ju·ve·nile/ (ju´vin-il)

 program, whereas the second quarter of 2002 had no such introduction. Additionally, sluggish consumer demand and the absence of aggressive inventory reduction efforts contributed to the lower sales in this year's second quarter."

Mr. Lanier continued, "Our focus over the last 18 months has been on inventory, cost and debt reduction. We have been successful in each of these areas. Our current cost structure in home fashions permits us to be reasonably profitable even at the sluggish demand levels we are now experiencing. The return of more traditional demand levels should only improve our profitability going forward.

"I am also encouraged with the progress we've we've

 made in our apparel fabrics business, which returned to profitability in the second quarter. Our product development efforts are resulting in orders for new constructions and designs. These new fabrics, primarily bottom weights, were the source of the segment's growth in sales in the second quarter of this year when compared to a year ago. The primary reasons for its return to profitability were these product development efforts and much better capacity utilization due to the apparel fabrics segment's recent downsizing (1) Converting mainframe and mini-based systems to client/server LANs.

(2) To reduce equipment and associated costs by switching to a less-expensive system.

.

"During the second quarter our engineered fabrics division experienced lower sales caused primarily by soft demand from the industrial sector and a very competitive pricing situation in the automotive sector."

"We continued to strengthen our balance sheet during the quarter," Mr. Lanier stated. "We were able to further reduce debt by $40 million since the end of 2001, almost $35 million of which was repaid in the last three months alone."

Mr. Lanier finished by saying, "Barring something unforeseen with the economy, we should continue the momentum we have shown during the first half. We remain comfortable with our previous guidance of $.30 to $.40 for the back half and we now believe earnings per share should come in at the upper end of that range."

The measurement of the impairment is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2002, and could result in the Company recording a one-time non-cash writedown of up to $21 million. The charge would be reflected as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle and will not affect third quarter earnings.
