                       DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES

         On November 21, 1995, Crown Crafts, Inc. ("Crown Crafts") filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-8
(Registration Statement No. 033-64499) (the "Registration Statement")
registering (i) 1,600,000 shares of Crown Crafts' Common Stock, $1.00 par value
(the "Common Stock"), to be issued to participants under (A) the Crown Crafts,
Inc. 1995 Stock Option Plan and (B) The Crown Crafts, Inc. 401(k) Retirement
Savings Plan (the "401(k) Plan"), and (ii) an indeterminate amount of interests
to be offered or sold pursuant to the 401(k) Plan (the "Plan Interests"). Prior
to the date hereof, the terms of the 401(k) Plan were changed such that no
additional shares of the Common Stock of Crown Crafts may be issued under the
401(k) Plan.

         Pursuant to the undertaking contained in the Registration Statement,
Crown Crafts is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to deregister the
Plan Interests that were registered under the Registration Statement and remain
unissued under the 401(k) Plan. The Registration Statement is hereby amended, as
appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of all such Plan Interests.
