INTERIM STATEMENT - UNAUDITED
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30TH JUNE 1999


Financial highlights

The  results  are presented on a consolidated basis which  reflects  the
results of the group companies.

Turnover  for  the six months to 30th June 1999 increased  by  GBP  0.19
million  to GBP 8.534 million compared to GBP 8.34 million reported  for
the  comparable  interim period of 1998 mainly due to  the  acquisitions
made during 1998.  The overall loss for the financial period before  tax
was  GBP 5.195 million - due to extraordinary expenses - compared  to  a
profit before taxation of GBP 176,000 in 1998.

Losses  per share were 3.1 pence compared to earnings per share of  0.12
pence  in  1998.   The extraordinary expenses are mainly provisions  for
stock,  redundancies and restructuring costs we have  been  particularly
hit  by  the cancellation of orders and lack of call-off by some of  our
contract customers which are big high-street retailers.

Trading overview

Following  a review of its current position and prospect, the Board  has
decided it appropriate to take the provisions already reflected  in  the
interim results.

The outcome for the second half of 1999

According to the above Pex expect that the results for the year will  be
a significant loss.

Pex  is  further  reviewing its strategic options in the  light  of  its
current  level of debt and lack of liquidity as well as in the  strategy
of  reshaping the business after the decision to stop with  -  immediate
effect  -  all  its  British (except Northern Ireland) manufacturing  of
socks.   Pex will become a pure English trading company dealing  in  its
branded (Pex and Polisox) imported socks.

Bridgedale trades profitably (net profit after tax GBP 262,000) and will
continue  to  manufacture in Northern Ireland.  It has won the  Northern
Ireland "exporter of the year" award.

Our  budget for 2000 - after the restructuring - shows only for  English
based companies (i.e. except Bridgedale) a turnover of approximately GBP
4 million and a profit of GBP approx. 500,000.
