PRG - Toronto

Peerless Carpet Corp. (T.PRG), Montreal, said the 1997 revenue figures

include revenues from discontinued operations, totalling C$4 million in the

quarter and C$9 million for the six months.

The company said a revenue shortfall in the broadloom business, mainly in the

commercial segment, hurt profitability. "The high fixed operating cost of the

company relative to the manufacturing volume renders the business very

sensitive to such changes in volumes," he said.

In the residential segment, it said delays in meeting sample delivery

schedules to retailers created by a four-month strike of the company's sample

makers, coupled with the on-going construction workers strike in Ontario,

prevented Peerless from achieving planned growth in the second quarter.

It said it expects the softness in shipments to continue into the third

quarter, with improvement in the fourth quarter from the commercial segment and

in the residential segment from pent-up demand in new housing.
