<div><br>
</div>

<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">The Company has two operating segments &#8211; mattress fabrics and upholstery fabrics. The mattress fabric segment markets primarily knitted and woven fabrics, and sewn covers made from those fabrics, which are used in the production of bedding products, including mattresses, foundations, and mattress sets. The upholstery fabric segment markets a variety of fabric products that are used principally in the production of residential and commercial upholstered furniture, including sofas, recliners, chairs, loveseats, sectionals, sofa-beds, and office seating. Because the Company manufactures and contracts to manufacture products from materials and components acquired from third parties, it must rely on its direct suppliers (and they in turn rely upon their suppliers) to determine whether any of the materials and components included in our products include any &#8220;conflict minerals&#8221; (as defined in Section 1, Item 1.01(d)(3) of Form SD) (collectively, the &#8220;Subject Minerals&#8221;) and, if any of the Subject Minerals are included in any product, the source of the Subject Mineral.</div>
