PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Fab Industries, Inc. was incorporated on April 21, 1966, under the laws
of the State of Delaware and is a successor by merger to previously existing
businesses. References in this Annual Report to "Fab" or "us" or "our" or "the
Company" mean Fab Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis,
unless the context otherwise requires.
We have been a leader in the domestic textile industry since we were
founded. We are a major manufacturer of warp and circular knit fabrics, raschel
laces, and laminated fabrics. We also produce comforters, sheets, blankets and
other bedding products.
Recently, our Board of Directors has determined that it is in the best
interests of our stockholders to sell our textile business as a going concern.
In order to maximize stockholder value, the Board of Directors adopted
resolutions dated March 1, 2002 which authorized, subject to stockholder
approval, the sale of our business pursuant to a Plan of Liquidation and
Dissolution (the "Plan"). The Plan provides that if the requisite stockholder
approval is received, our officers and directors will continue to operate our
textile business in its current fashion, pursue a sale of the business as a
going concern and, if our Board of Directors deems it advisable, engage
financial advisors to assist with the sale of the business. The Board of
Directors will present the Plan for approval by stockholders at our annual
meeting, which we expect will occur in April 2002. If the Plan is not approved
by our stockholders, we will continue to operate the Company in the ordinary
course while our Board of Directors explores the alternatives then available for
the future of our Company.
We currently operate in three segments: Apparel Fabrics, Home Fashions
and Accessories, and Others.
APPAREL FABRICS
Our textile fabrics are sold to a wide variety of manufacturers of
ready-to-wear and intimate apparel for men, women and children, including
dresses and sportswear, children's sleepwear, activewear and swimwear, and
recreational apparel. Fabrics are sold primarily in piece dyed form, as well as
"PFP" (Prepared For Printing), and heat transfer printed configurations.
Our raschel lace products are sold to manufacturers of intimate apparel
through our Raval Designers and Wiener Lace divisions. The Raval Lace division
also produces raschel laces for sale to manufacturers and jobbers of sportswear,
dress, blouse and other related outerwear industries.
Our subsidiary, SMS Textiles, Inc., specializes in wide raschel elastic
fabrics for sale to manufacturers of intimate apparel, swimwear, athleticwear
and sportswear.
Our Lida Stretch Fabrics Division specializes in circular knit products
utilizing spandex to create stretch fabrics. A wide variety of constructions and
fibers are combined with spandex fiber to create a diversified product line.
These fabrics are sold as piece dyes and yarn dyes to the ready-to-wear, aerobic
wear, swimwear, and intimate apparel markets.
We also offer a comprehensive line of heat transfer prints for
sleepwear, robewear, outerwear, and activewear applications in both traditional
and contemporary patterns.
HOME FASHIONS AND ACCESSORIES
While sales are primarily to manufacturers of home furnishings, we also
use our own textile fabrics internally to produce flannel and satin sheets,
blanket products, comforters and other bedding products which we sell to
specialty stores, catalogue and mail order companies, airlines and cruise lines,
and health care institutions.
1
OTHER
Our subsidiary, Gem Urethane Corporation, produces a line of
ultrasonically, hot melt adhesive, flame and adhesive bonded products for
apparel, environmental, health care, industrial, and consumer markets. In
addition, Gem Urethane does toll laminating and converting for these markets as
well as a fire resistant fabric, Sandel(R), through its subsidiary Sandel
International, to the seating, transportation and military markets.
Our textiles are sold to manufacturers servicing the residential and
contract markets. We also sell fabrics to vendors in the over the counter
markets.
GENERAL
We engage in research and product development activities to create new
fabrics and styles to meet the continually changing demands of our customers.
Direct expenditures in this area aggregated $3,478,000 in fiscal 1999,
$3,206,000 in fiscal 2000, and $1,999,000 in fiscal 2001. Through these efforts,
we have developed a full line of proprietary knitted fabrics for sale to
manufacturers of men's, women's, and children's apparel in both domestic and
foreign markets. Similarly, we have also developed a full line of flannel and
satin sheets and blankets, including specialty blankets for the airline and
cruise lines, and health care institutions.
While we use various trademarks and trade names in the promotion and
sale of our products, we do not believe that the loss or expiration of any such
trademark or trade name would have a material adverse effect on our operations.
We market our products primarily through our full-time sales personnel,
as well as independent representatives located throughout the United States and
abroad.
We do not believe our backlog of firm orders is a material indicator of
future business trends, because goods subject to such orders are shipped within
two to ten weeks, depending on the availability of yarn and other raw materials.
On average, orders are filled within six weeks.
During fiscal 2001, no single customer or group of affiliated customers
accounted for more than 10% of the year's net sales. Our export sales are not
material.
SUPPLIES OF RAW MATERIALS
We have not experienced difficulties in obtaining sufficient yarns,
chemicals, dyes and other raw materials and supplies to maintain full
production. We do not depend upon any single source of supply, and alternative
sources are available for most of the raw materials used in our business.
INVENTORIES
We maintain adequate inventories of yarns and other raw materials to
insure an uninterrupted production flow. Greige and finished goods are
maintained as inventory to meet varying customer demand and delivery
requirements. We must maintain adequate working capital, because credit terms
available to customers normally exceed credit terms extended to us by suppliers
of raw materials.
COMPETITION
We are engaged in a highly competitive global business which is based
largely upon product quality, service and price, and general consumer demand for
the finished goods utilizing our products. We believe that we are one of the
major manufacturers of warp and circular knit, raschel lace, and ultrasonic and
hot melt laminated products in the United States. However, there are a great
number of other domestic and foreign manufacturers producing products that
compete with our products. The proportion of imported textile goods sold in the
United States has increased substantially in the past few years, adversely
impacting domestically manufactured textile products and the number of domestic
2
manufacturers of such products. Although we continue to maintain a strong
financial position, our sales have declined from approximately $161,000,000 in
1997 to approximately $80,000,000 in 2001, largely as a result of increased
foreign competition.
SEGMENT INFORMATION
See Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
EMPLOYEES
We employ approximately 650 people, of whom approximately 600 are
employed by our subsidiaries. The employees are not represented by unions. We
consider relations with our employees to be satisfactory. The number of our
employees has declined from approximately 1,100, 1,300 and 1,600 at the end of
2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
We conduct our manufacturing operations in owned facilities located in
Lincolnton and Salisbury, North Carolina, and in a leased facility located in
Amsterdam, New York. Our facilities are operated in general on a five day-a-week
basis.
We conduct our knitting, dyeing-finishing and printing operations at
the Lincolnton facility. These operations include warp and raschel knitting,
circular single and double knitting, various types of dyeing, framing, lace
separating, sueding, shearing, napping, calendaring, and heat-transfer printing.
The Lincolnton facility also processes and serves as a warehouse for greige
goods.
The Salisbury facility is the site of our consumer and institutional
products manufacturing, retail and over- the-counter operations. We use
approximately 106,000 square feet in Amsterdam for the production of a line of a
variety of flame retarding, adhesive, and ultrasonically bonded items.
In an on-going effort to restore operations to acceptable levels of
profitability by eliminating over-capacities, during the first week of July 2001
we closed two of our manufacturing plants, Travis Knits in Cherryville, North
Carolina and Adirondack Knitting in Amsterdam, New York. In addition, on
November 16, 2001, we closed our manufacturing plant in Maiden, North Carolina.
The manufacturing operations of each of these facilities were consolidated into
Fab's Mohican Mills facility located in Lincolnton, North Carolina.
In July 2000, we surrendered to our landlord approximately half of the
floor space of our executive offices and showroom facilities in our New York
City headquarters. As a result of this decision, we realized a substantial
annual savings.
The following table sets forth the location of each of our
manufacturing facilities, our current principal use, if any, approximate floor
space and, where leased, the lease expiration date. There are no mortgages or
other encumbrances on any of our facilities.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
During the fall of 1999, San Francisco Network ("SFN") commenced an
action in the Superior Court of California, Marin County, against us and our
Salisbury Manufacturing Corporation ("Salisbury") subsidiary. The action relates
to an agreement between SFN and Salisbury (whose performance we guaranteed),
pursuant to which Salisbury was licensed to use the Karen Neuburger trademark
for branded bedding products. The complaint alleges that Salisbury failed to
perform its obligations under the agreement, and asserts claims for an
unspecified amount of damages for breach of written contract, breach of the
implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, intentional misrepresentation,
and negligent misrepresentation, as well as a claim against us on the guarantee.
We removed this action to the United States District Court for the Northern
District of California. Salisbury filed an answer and counterclaim on March 16,
2000 and an amended answer and counterclaim on August 28, 2000. Salisbury
asserts claims against SFN for breach of contract, negligent and intentional
misrepresentation, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair
dealing, unfair business practices, and violations of the California Franchise
Investment Act, the California Franchise Relations Act, and New York Franchises
Law. Currently, we are engaged in the final stages of the discovery stage of
this action. We intend to vigorously defend this action and prosecute our
affirmative claims. Trial of this matter is currently set for March 18, 2002.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FISCAL 2001 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2000
As discussed in Item 1. Business, our Board of Directors has determined
to sell our textile business as a going concern. In order to maximize
stockholder value, the Board of Directors adopted resolutions dated March 1,
2002 which authorized, subject to stockholder approval, the sale of our business
pursuant to a Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution.
Net sales for fiscal 2001 were $80,036,000 as compared to $118,185,000
in fiscal 2000, a decrease of 32.3% (fiscal 2000 had 53 weeks). Such decreases
were caused substantially by lower volume as continued weakness in the economy,
market conditions and unfair foreign competition have adversely affected the
domestic textile industry.
Apparel external sales for fiscal 2001 were $60.9 million, a decrease
of $33 million or 35%, as compared to $93.9 million for fiscal 2000.
6
Home Fashions and Accessories external sales for fiscal 2001 were $10.4
million, a decrease of $3.9 million or 27%, as compared to $14.3 million for
fiscal 2000.
Other external sales for fiscal 2001 were $8.8 million, a decrease of
$1.2 million or 12%, as compared to $10 million for fiscal 2000.
The decreases across our segments were due to the current economic
downturn, continued weakness in the domestic textile industry and foreign
competition.
Gross margins as a percentage of sales declined from 9.7% to 1.9%.
Lower sales volume and the consolidation of three of our manufacturing
facilities reduced operating rates at production facilities. Due to lower
average FIFO cost levels, LIFO inventory reserves decreased by $1,518,000 in
fiscal 2001, compared to an increase in LIFO inventory reserve of $228,000 due
to higher FIFO unit material costs in fiscal 2000. With the Company's decrease
in costs relating to employee terminations, and the future decrease in
depreciation expenses and other related costs, management is hopeful that gross
margins will show an improvement over last year's performance tempered, however,
by the continuing deterioration in domestic textile manufacturing due to foreign
imports and currency valuation issues.
The Company, in an on-going effort to restore operations to acceptable
levels of profitability by eliminating over-capacities, during the first week of
July 2001, closed two of its manufacturing plants, Travis Knits in Cherryville,
North Carolina and Adirondack Knitting in Amsterdam, New York. The knitting,
dyeing and finishing activities of these two operations were consolidated into
Fab's Mohican Mills facility in Lincolnton, North Carolina. The Company also
completed the closure of its Maiden, North Carolina facility as of November 16,
2001 and also transferred its knitting and warping operations to the Mohican
Mills facility.
As a result of the consolidation of the manufacturing facilities and
the announcement to pursue a sale of the business as part of a plan of
liquidation, the results for fiscal year ended December 1, 2001 include asset
impairment and restructuring charges of $14,530,000, including $13,230,000 for
the writedown of fixed assets to fair value less costs of disposal. Such fixed
assets are comprised of machinery and equipment from the knitting, dyeing, and
finishing activities of the business, and also include the building facilities
in North Carolina. Management believes that the assets held for disposal will be
sold within six to twelve months; however, the sale of used textile machinery is
subject to worldwide economic conditions which can affect the sale of such
machinery. Additionally, for the fiscal year ended December 1, 2001, the Company
expended approximately $1,300,000 to remove and transfer machinery and equipment
to the Company's Mohican Mills facility which was included in the asset
impairment and restructuring charges. The Company expects to incur expenditures
to maintain the facilities to be disposed of until such sales occur. The above
charges for the asset impairment and restructuring charges apply mainly to the
apparel segment with a small portion to the other segment.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $2,717,000,
or 21.8% as compared to fiscal year 2000. Reduced expenses related primarily to
the reduced number of employees and a reduction of half of the floor space of
the Company's executive offices and showroom facilities in the New York City
headquarters. In addition, expenses decreased as a result of the continued
effectiveness of expense and cost containment programs.
Apparel operating loss for fiscal 2001 was $22.3 million, a decrease of
$20.2 million or 957%, as compared to $2.1 million for fiscal 2000. Lower sales
volume and the consolidation of three of our manufacturing facilities reduced
operating rates at production facilities. In addition, the financial results
include a charge for impairment of fixed assets and restructuring charges of
approximately $13.8 million. Lower selling margins also contributed to the
increase in operating loss, notwithstanding a reduction in selling, general and
administrative expenses.
Home Fashions and Accessories operating income for fiscal 2001 was
$674,000, a decrease of $443,000 or 40%, as compared to $1.1 million for fiscal
2000. These decreases were due primarily to lower sales volume and a lower gross
margin decreased operating gains.
7
Other operating loss for fiscal 2001 was $1.1 million, a decrease of
$1.0 million or 2,689%, as compared to $39,000 for fiscal 2000. These decreases
were due primarily to lower sales volume and a charge of approximately $750,000
for impairment of fixed assets and a restructuring charge.
Interest and dividend income increased by $289,000, or 7.2% as compared
to fiscal year 2000, because of higher invested balances. We realized gains from
the sale of investment securities of $3,025,000 in fiscal 2001 as compared to
$1,300,000 in fiscal 2000.
We realized a tax benefit for fiscal 2001 which had an effective tax
rate of (44.3%), as compared to an effective income tax rate of 27.4% in fiscal
2000. Fiscal 2001's tax benefit includes approximately $1.5 million of certain
tax reserves recorded in prior years, which were reversed in the fourth quarter
of fiscal 2001 due to changes in estimates for tax contingency items.
As a result of these factors, the Company had a net loss of $8,623,000
including the asset impairment and restructuring charges of $9,590,000 net of
income tax benefit in fiscal 2001, compared to net income of $3,033,000 in
fiscal 2000. For fiscal 2001, basic and diluted losses per share were $1.64,
including asset impairment and restructuring charges of $1.82 per share,
compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.57 in fiscal 2000.
FISCAL 2000 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1999
Net sales for fiscal 2000 were $118,185,000 as compared to $128,889,000
in fiscal 1999, a decrease of 8.3% (Fiscal 2000 had 53 weeks). Since 1998, a
flood of low cost imports from Asia continued to take a sustained toll on the
U.S. manufacturing sector and negatively impacted segment decline in sales and
production. The Company evaluated steps to reduce costs including plant
consolidation in light of market conditions.
Gross margins as a percentage of sales increased to 9.7% from 7.8%.
Margins were aided by increased efficiencies and extensive cost control
programs. Higher FIFO unit material costs resulted in an increase in LIFO
inventory reserves of $228,000 as compared to a decrease in the comparable
period in 1999 of $1,595,000, arising principally from lower average FIFO cost
levels.
The apparel and home fashion segments have taken measures to reduce
operating costs, including a reduction in the number of employees, which have
had a positive effect and have reduced fixed overhead. This was partially offset
by rising raw material costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $2,926,000,
or 19.0% in fiscal 2000 as compared to fiscal 1999. Reduced expenses related
primarily to the reduced number of employees on the payroll. In addition,
expenses decreased as a result of the continued effectiveness of expense and
cost containment programs.
Interest and dividend income increased by $1,049,000, or 35.5% in
fiscal 2000 as compared to fiscal 1999 as a result of both higher average
invested balances and higher average rates. As a result of a change in our
investment policy, in order to maximize total return, a major portion of our
portfolio was transferred from tax-free municipals to high quality, investment
grade, taxable bonds. We realized gains from the sale of investment securities
of $1,300,000 in fiscal 2000 as compared to $2,087,000 in fiscal 1999.
The effective income tax rate for fiscal 2000 was 27.4% as against a
tax benefit in the comparative period in 1999. In fiscal 2000, the provision for
income taxes differed from the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% due to
tax free investment income and state and local income taxes.
As a result of these factors, net income increased to $3,033,000 in
fiscal 2000 from $517,000 in fiscal
8
1999 and loss from operations decreased to $1,036,000 in fiscal 2000 from
$5,275,000 in fiscal 1999. For fiscal 2000 and fiscal 1999, basic and diluted
earnings per share were $0.57 and $0.10, respectively.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2001 amounted to
$10,074,000, as compared to $16,162,000 in fiscal 2000. Of this decrease,
$11,656,000 relates to comparative changes in net income, $6,890,000 to deferred
taxes, $1,255,000 to depreciation, $2,563,000 to accounts payable and other
current liabilities, $450,000 to provision for doubtful accounts, $1,725,000 to
net gain on investment securities, and $155,000 to gain on disposition of
assets. These decreases were offset by increases of $2,511,000 in accounts
receivable, $2,499,000 in inventories, $355,000 to current and other assets and
$13,241,000 in non-cash asset impairment and restructuring charges.
For the fiscal year ended December 1, 2001, net acquisitions of
investment securities were $15,681,000 as compared to net acquisitions of
$3,023,000 for the fiscal year ended December 2, 2000. In the fiscal year ended
December 1, 2001, approximately $12,000,000 of the net acquisitions of
investment securities was in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has invested
these funds in high quality investment grade, taxable bonds. Our investment
securities, all classified as available-for-sale, had a fair market value of
$82,021,000 and $62,264,000 at fiscal year-end 2001 and 2000, respectively. See
Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details
about the investment portfolio.
Capital expenditures for fiscal 2001 were $703,000 as compared to
$1,403,000 in fiscal 2000. During fiscal 2001, we repurchased 73,116 shares of
our common stock at a cost of $1,050,000 (an average price of $14.36).
Stockholders' equity was $120,503,000, or $23.14 book value per share
at the end of fiscal 2001, as compared to $130,855,000, or $24.78 book value per
share, at the previous fiscal year end.
Management believes that our current financial position is adequate to
satisfy working capital requirements and to internally fund any future
expenditures to maintain our manufacturing facilities for the next twelve
months.
INFLATION
Management does not believe that the effects of inflation have had a
significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All
forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. In particular, any
statement contained herein, in press releases, written statements or other
documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or in our
communications and discussions with investors and analysts in the normal course
of business including, but not limited to, meetings, phone calls and conference
calls, regarding the sale of our assets pursuant to a plan of liquidation and
dissolution, as well as expectations with respect to future sales and operating
efficiencies prior to a sale of the company, are subject to known and unknown
risks, uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and
which may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially
from anticipated results, performances or achievements. Factors that might
affect such forward-looking statements include, among other things: our

plan of liquidation and dissolution for the company; if the plan is approved,
our ability to find qualified buyers for our assets; overall economic and
business conditions; our continuing ability to support the demand for our goods

See "Summary of Accounting Policies - Risks And Uncertainties" and
"-Investments" in the Consolidated Financial Statements attached hereto. See
also Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.
See the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements and the Consolidated Financial Statements Schedules
attached hereto.
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
By letter dated September 11, 2001, Ernst & Young, LLP ("Ernst &
Young") resigned as our independent accountant. Ernst & Young's resignation
became effective on September 25, 2001, the date that we engaged BDO Seidman,
LLP as our new independent public accountants. The Audit Committee made no
recommendation or approval with respect to the resignation of Ernst & Young.
There were no disagreements with the former accountants on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing
scope or procedure in connection with the audits of our two most recent fiscal
years or any subsequent interim period through September 25, 2001, which
disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of the former accountants
would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the
disagreements in connection with their reports on the financial statements for
such years. None of the principal accountants' reports on the financial
statements for the two years preceding such resignation contained an adverse
opinion or a disclaimer of opinion or were qualified or modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the two most recent
fiscal years and the subsequent interim periods through September 25, 2001, the
Company was not advised of any of the matters referred to in Item 304 (a)(1)(v)
of Regulation S-K.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Fab Industries, Inc.
New York, New York
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Fab Industries,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 1, 2001, and the related consolidated
statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the fiscal year
then ended. Our audit also included the 2001 schedule listed in the index on
page S-2. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and schedule based on our audit.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements and schedule are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements and schedule. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and schedule.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As discussed in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements, on March 1,
2002, the Company's Board of Directors adopted resolutions, which authorize,
subject to shareholder approval, the sale of the business pursuant to a plan of
liquidation.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fab Industries, Inc.
and subsidiaries at December 1, 2001, and the consolidated results of their
operations and their cash flows for the fiscal year then ended, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Also, in our opinion, the related 2001 schedule presents fairly, in all material
respects, the information set forth therein.

SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
================================================================================
BUSINESS Fab Industries, Inc. (the "Company") is a major
manufacturer of knitted apparel fabrics,
including laces and finished home products, as
well as laminated fabrics. The Company's sales
in fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999 were primarily
made to United States customers.
PRINCIPLES OF The financial statements include the accounts of
CONSOLIDATION the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which
are wholly owned. Significant intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated.
FISCAL YEAR The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday
closest to November 30. Fiscal 2001 and 1999 had
fifty-two weeks and fiscal 2000 had fifty-three
weeks.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates and assumptions.
Financial instruments which potentially subject
the Company to concentrations of credit risk
consist principally of cash and cash
equivalents, investment securities, and trade
receivables. The Company places its cash and
cash equivalents with high credit quality
financial institutions. By policy, the Company
limits the amount of credit exposure to any one
financial institution and receives confirmation
indicating that, with respect to investment
securities, each custodian (with the exception
of one custodian, which held equity securities
during fiscal 2001 and had no such equity
securities at December 1, 2001 but will continue
to invest in such equities in the future)
maintains appropriate insurance coverage to
protect the Company's investment portfolio.
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to
trade receivables are limited due to the diverse
group of manufacturers, wholesalers

================================================================================
and retailers to whom the Company sells (see
Note 14). The Company reviews a customer's
credit history before extending credit. The
Company further reduces its credit risk by
factoring, without recourse, a variable amount
of trade receivables. As of December 1, 2001 and
December 2, 2000, 18% and 23%, respectively, of
the accounts receivable outstanding were due
from factors. The Company has established an
allowance for doubtful accounts based upon
factors surrounding the credit risk of specific
customers, historical trends and other
information.
CASH EQUIVALENTS For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the
Company considers all highly liquid debt
instruments with original maturities of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.
INVESTMENTS The Company follows Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities" ("SFAS No. 115"). SFAS No.
115 addresses accounting and reporting for
investments in equity securities that have
readily determinable fair values and for all
investments in debt securities. Investments in
such securities are to be classified as either
held-to-maturity, trading, or
available-for-sale. The Company classifies all
of its investments as available-for-sale. The
investments are recorded at their fair value and
the unrealized gain or loss, net of income
taxes, is recorded in stockholders' equity.
Gains and losses on sales of investment
securities are computed using the specific
identification method.
INVENTORIES Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or
market. For a portion of the inventories, cost
is determined by the last-in, first-out (LIFO)
method with the balance being determined by the
first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
================================================================================
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL The Company is party to equity option contracts
INSTRUMENTS HELD OR as part of its investing activities. Option
ISSUED contracts are contractual agreements that give
the purchaser the right, but not the obligation,
to purchase or sell a financial instrument at a
predetermined exercise price. In return for this
right, the purchaser pays a premium to the
seller of the option. By selling or writing
options, the Company receives a premium and
becomes obligated during the term of the option
to purchase or sell a financial instrument at a
predetermined exercise price if the option is
exercised, and assumes the risk of not being
able to enter into a closing transaction if a
liquid secondary market does not exist.
During fiscal 2001, the Company adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities". In
accordance with SFAS 133, the Company's policy
is to recognize all derivatives instruments as
either assets or liabilities on the balance
sheet at fair value. Changes in fair value are
recognized in the income statement in the period
in which they occur. Derivatives are not used
for trading purposes. Derivatives are used to
hedge against fluctuations in the market value
of equity securities. The adoption of SFAS 133
did not result in a material impact on the
Company's consolidated financial statements.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment are stated at
cost. Depreciation is computed using principally
the straight-line method. The range of estimated
useful lives is 15 to 33 years for buildings and
building improvements, 4 to 10 years for
machinery and equipment, 10 years for leasehold
improvements and 5 years for trucks and
automobiles.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS The Company reviews the carrying values of its
long-lived and identifiable intangible assets
for possible impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of the assets may not be
recoverable. Any long-lived assets held for
disposal are reported at the lower of their
carrying amounts or fair value less cost to
sell. During fiscal 2001, the Company recorded
asset impairment and restructuring charges. See
Note 12 of the notes to the financial
statements.

================================================================================
RESEARCH AND Research and development costs are charged to
DEVELOPMENT COSTS expenses in the year incurred and amounted to
$1,999,000, $3,206,000, and $3,478,000 in fiscal
2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
STOCK-BASED In fiscal 1997, the Company became subject to
COMPENSATION SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"), which allows
either the intrinsic or fair value method. SFAS
No. 123 encourages, but does not require,
entities to adopt the fair value method in place
of the intrinsic value method as provided for in
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB
No. 25"), for all arrangements under which
employees receive shares of stock or other
equity instruments of the employer or the
employer incurs liabilities to employees in
amounts based on the price of its stock. When
the Company adopted SFAS No. 123, it elected to
retain the intrinsic value method. The required
fair value disclosures are included in the notes
to the consolidated financial statements.
TAXES ON INCOME The Company follows the liability method of
accounting for income taxes. Accordingly,
deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect
of temporary differences between the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
reporting purposes and for income tax purposes.
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER Basic earnings (loss) per share is based on the
SHARE weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the fiscal year. Diluted
earnings per share is based on the weighted
average number of common shares and dilutive
potential common shares outstanding during the
fiscal year. The Company's dilutive potential
common shares outstanding during fiscal 2001,
2000 and 1999 resulted entirely from dilutive
stock options. For fiscal 2001 and 2000,
potentially dilutive securities that related to
shares issuable upon the exercise of stock
options granted by the Company were excluded, as
their effect was antidilutive. See Note 13 of
notes to the financial statements.
REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company recognizes its revenues upon
shipment of the related goods. Allowances for
estimated returns are provided when sales are
recorded.

SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
================================================================================
NEW ACCOUNTING In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standard
STANDARDS Board (FASB) issued FASB Statements Nos. 141 and
142 (FAS 141 and FAS 142), "Business
Combinations" and "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets." FAS 141 replaces APB 16 and eliminates
pooling-of-interests accounting prospectively.
It also provides guidance on purchase accounting
related to the recognition of intangible assets
and accounting for negative goodwill. FAS 142
changes the accounting for goodwill from an
amortization method to an impairment-only
approach. FAS 141 and FAS 142 are effective for
all business combinations completed after June
30, 2001. Companies are required to adopt FAS
142 for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2001, but early adoption is permitted. The
Company will adopt FAS 142 on December 2, 2002,
the beginning of fiscal 2003. The Company does
not believe the adoption of FAS 142 will impact
its results of operations or financial position.
In August 2001, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting
for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets," which addresses financial accounting
and reporting for the impairment or disposal of
long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121
and the accounting and reporting provisions of
APB Opinion No. 30 for a disposal of a segment
of a business. SFAS 144 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2001, with
earlier application encouraged. The Company
expects to adopt SFAS 144 as of December 2,
2002, the beginning of fiscal 2003, and it does
not expect that the adoption of the Statement
will have a significant impact on the Company's
financial position and results of operations.

During Fiscal 2001, the Company invested a
portion of their securities in equity consisting
of a portfolio of Standard and Poor's 100 ("S&P
100") common stocks, the fair value of which
varies consistently with changes in the S&P 100
index. To hedge against fluctuations in the
market value of the portfolio, the Company has
purchased short-term S&P 100 index put options
and sold short-term S&P 100 call options. At
December 1, 2001 and December 2, 2000, the
Company had no such investments, but will
continue to invest in such equities in the
future.
Realized gains or (losses) on purchased
short-term S&P 100 index put options and sold
short-term S&P 100 call options during fiscal
2001, 2000, and 1999 were approximately

6. STOCK STOCK OPTION PLAN
COMPENSATION
PLANS Under the Company's 1987 stock option plan,
which terminated in May 1997, the Company was
able to grant to key employees either
nonqualified or incentive stock options to
purchase up to a maximum of 650,000 shares of
common stock at the fair market value at the
date of the grant.
In May 2001 and May 1997, the Board of Directors
adopted and the shareholders approved two new
stock option plans providing for the grant of up
to 200,000 shares and 175,000 shares of common
stock respectively at any time over the next ten
years. In general, the terms of the 2001 and
1997 plans are similar to the Company's previous
stock option plans.

================================================================================
The Company has adopted the disclosure-only
provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation." Accordingly, no
compensation cost has been recognized for the
Company's stock option plans. If the Company had
elected to recognize compensation costs based on
the fair value of the options granted at grant
date as prescribed by SFAS No. 123, net income
(loss) and earnings (loss) per share would have
been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated
below.
Since pro forma compensation expense from stock
options is recognized over the future years'
vesting period, and additional awards generally
are made from time to time, pro forma amounts
for 2001 may not be representative of future
years' amounts.

RESTRICTED STOCK PLAN
The Company has a restricted stock plan which
awards shares of common stock previously held in
its treasury to key employees. Shares are
awarded in the name of the employee, who has all
rights of a shareholder, subject to certain
restrictions or forfeiture. Vesting occurs over
a five-year period from the date the shares were
awarded. Dividends associated with the shares
are held by the Company and vest over the same
five-year period. The compensation element
related to such shares is recognized ratably
over the five-year restriction period.
Compensation expense related to the above
restricted shares for fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999
was $0, $0 and $1,000, respectively. No
restricted stock was awarded in Fiscal 2001,
2000, or 1999.
7. BENEFIT PLANS PROFIT SHARING PLANS
A qualified plan, which covers the majority of
salaried employees, provides for discretionary
contributions up to a maximum of 15% of eligible
salaries. The distribution of the contribution
to the Plan's participants is based upon their
annual base compensation. Contributions for
fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999 were $181,000,
$241,000 and $195,000, respectively.
The Company also has a nonqualified, defined
contribution retirement plan for key employees
who are ineligible for the salaried employees'
qualified profit sharing plan. Contributions for
fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999 were $52,000, $57,000
and $38,000, respectively. Benefits payable
under this plan amounting to $2,107,000 and
$2,397,000 at December 1, 2001 and December 2,
2000, respectively, are included in other
noncurrent liabilities. These liabilities are
fully funded by plan assets of equal amounts,
which are included in other assets.
PENSION PLAN
The Company maintains a non-contributory defined
benefit pension plan (Fab Industries, Inc.
Hourly Employees' Retirement Plan) which covers
substantially all hourly employees. The Plan
provides benefits based on the participants'
years of service.

EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN
The Company has an Employee Stock Ownership Plan
("ESOP") which covers all full-time employees
who have completed one year of service. In 1991,
the ESOP purchased 340,000 shares of common
stock from the Chairman of the Board of
Directors and President of the Company for
$34.875 per share, which represented 5.5% of the
Company's then outstanding common stock. The
ESOP was funded by the Company, pursuant to a
loan pledge agreement for $11,857,000. The loan
is payable by the ESOP to the Company from
contributions to be made in fifteen equal annual
principal installments plus interest at the
prime rate. Employee rights to the common shares
vest over a seven-year period and are payable at
retirement, death, disability or termination of
employment.
Annual principal installments of $790,000 plus
interest at prime are paid by the ESOP to the
Company. The balance on the ESOP indebtedness at
December 1, 2001 of $3,957,000 is reflected as a
reduction of the Company's stockholders' equity
in the consolidated balance sheets.
The Company accounts for the ESOP shares in
accordance with the provisions of the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants'
Statement of Position No. 76-3. ESOP
contributions are recorded for financial
reporting purposes as the ESOP shares become
allocable to the plan participants. All ESOP
shares are considered outstanding in the
determination of earnings (loss) per share.
The portion of the common stock dividends
declared relating to ESOP shares totaled
$104,000, $161,000 and $213,000 for fiscal 2001,
2000 and 1999, respectively. Of these amounts,
$65,000, $90,000 and $110,000 for fiscal 2001,
2000 and 1999, respectively, related to
allocated shares and $39,000, $71,000 and
$103,000 for fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999,
respectively, related to unallocated shares. The
dividends related to the unallocated shares are
being applied towards the $790,000 annual
principal installments referred to above.

LITIGATION
During the fall of 1999, San Francisco Network
("SFN") commenced an action in the Superior
Court of California, Marin County, against the
Company and the Company's Salisbury
Manufacturing Corporation ("Salisbury")
subsidiary. The action relates to an agreement
between SFN and Salisbury (whose performance the
Company guaranteed), pursuant to which Salisbury
was licensed to use the Karen Neuburger
trademark for branded bedding products. The
complaint alleges that Salisbury failed to
perform its obligations under the agreement, and
asserts claims for an unspecified amount of
damages for breach of written contract, breach
of the implied covenant of good faith and fair
dealing, intentional misrepresentation, and
negligent misrepresentation, as well as a claim
against the Company on the guarantee. The
Company removed this action to the United States
District Court for the Northern District of
California. Salisbury filed an answer and
counterclaim on March 16, 2000 and an amended
answer and counterclaim on August 28, 2000.
Salisbury asserts claims against SFN for breach
of contract, negligent and

================================================================================
intentional misrepresentation, breach of the
implied, covenant of good faith and fair
dealing, unfair business practices, and
violations of the California Franchise
Investment Act, the California Franchise
Relations Act, and New York Franchises Law.
Currently, the Company is engaged in the final
stages of the discovery stage of this action.
The Company intends to vigorously defend this
action and prosecute the Company's affirmative
claims. Trial of this matter is currently set
for March 18, 2002.
A number of other claims and lawsuits seeking
unspecified damages and other relief are pending
against the Company. It is impossible at this
time for the Company to predict with any
certainty the outcome of such litigation.
However, management is of the opinion based upon
information presently available, that it is
unlikely that any liability, to the extent not
provided for through insurance or otherwise,
would be material in relation to the Company's
consolidated financial position, or results of
operations.

12. ASSET IMPAIRMENT In the second quarter of fiscal 2001, the
AND RESTRUCTURING Company implemented a restructuring plan to
CHARGES consolidate several manufacturing facilities. As
a result the Company's fiscal year ended
December 1, 2001 financial results include a
charge for impairment of fixed assets held for
sale of $5,958,000 for the writedown of fixed
assets held for disposal to their fair value
less costs to dispose. The consolidation of
manufacturing facilities is an effort to restore
the operations to an acceptable level of
profitability by eliminating over-capacities at
the manufacturing level in response to the
continued weakness in the economy and market
conditions that have adversely affected the
domestic textile industry.
The fixed assets held for disposal are comprised
of buildings, machinery and equipment from the
knitting, dyeing and finishing activities of the
business. Management believes that such assets
will be sold within six to twelve months;
however, the sale of used textile machinery is
subject to worldwide economic conditions which
can affect the sale of such machinery.
During the fiscal year ended December 1, 2001,
the Company has expended approximately
$1,300,000 to remove and transfer machinery and
equipment to the Company's Mohican Mills
facility as part of the consolidation of the
Company's manufacturing facilities.

14. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company adopted SFAS No. 131 "Disclosure About Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information" in fiscal 1999. SFAS No. 131 requires
companies to report information on segments using the way management organizes
segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing
financial performance.
The Company's chief operating decision-maker is considered to be the
Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The Company's CEO evaluates both consolidated and
disaggregated financial information in deciding how to allocate resources and
assess performance. The Company has identified three reportable segments based
upon the primary markets it serves: Apparel Fabrics, Home Fashions, Industrial
Fabrics and Accessories.
Apparel Fabrics: The Company is a major manufacturer of warp and circular knit
fabrics and raschel laces. The Company's textile fabrics are sold to a wide
variety of manufacturers of ready-to-wear and intimate apparel for men, women,
and children, including dresses and sportswear, children's sleepwear,
activewear, swimwear, and recreational apparel.
Home Fashions and Accessories: While sales primarily to manufacturers of home
furnishings, we also use our own textile fabrics internally to produce flannel
and satin sheets, blanket products, comforters, and other bedding products which
we sell to specialty stores, catalogue and mail order companies, airlines and
cruise lines, and health care institutions.
Other: The Company produces a line of ultrasonically, hot melt adhesive, flame
and adhesive bonded products for apparel, environmental, health care, industrial
and consumer markets. The Company's textile fabrics are sold to manufacturers
servicing the residential and contract markets. We also sell fabrics to vendors
in the over the counter markets.
The accounting policy of the reportable segments are the same as those
described in Summary of Accounting Policies (Business F-9). The Company neither
allocates to the segments nor bases segment decisions on the following:
- Interest and dividend income
- Interest expense
- Net gain on investment securities
- Income tax expense or benefit
Many of the Company's assets are used by multiple segments. While
certain assets such as Inventory and Property, Plant and Equipment are
identifiable by segment, an allocation of the substantial remaining assets is
not meaningful.
For the 52 weeks ending December 1, 2001, charges for the asset
impairment and restructuring charges apply mainly to the apparel segment with a
small portion to the other segment.

16. SUBSEQUENT EVENT Recently, the Company's Board of Directors has
determined that it is in the best interests of
our stockholders to sell the Company's textile
business as a going concern. In order to
maximize stockholder value, the Board of
Directors adopted resolutions dated March 1,
2002 which authorized, subject to stockholder
approval, the sale of the Company's business
pursuant to a Plan of Liquidation and
Dissolution (the "Plan"). The Plan provides that
if the requisite stockholder approval is
received, the Company's officers and directors
will continue to operate the Company's textile
business in its current fashion, pursue a sale
of the business as a going concern and, if the
Company's Board of Directors deems it advisable,
engage financial advisors to assist with the
sale of the business. The Board of Directors
will present the Plan for the approval by
stockholders at the Company's annual meeting,
which is expected to occur in April 2002. If the
Plan is not approved by the Company's
stockholders, the Company will continue to
operate in the ordinary course while the
Company's Board of Directors explores
alternatives then available for the future of
the Company.
