Following is a comparison of results for items comprising continuing operations:

Textile products. For the 2005 third quarter, the textile products business segment reported income of $2.6 million on revenue of $30.2 million, compared to income of $4.2 million on revenue of $31.3 million in 2004. For the nine months, income was $9.0 million on revenue of $101.9 million, compared to income of $13.7 million on revenue of $98.1 million in 2004. The declines were principally due to lower gross profit margins, as a result of changes in product mix and increased costs, particularly energy and chemicals.
