NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

December 27, 1997

NOTE A--BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited combined condensed financial statements of Delta
Mills, Inc. ("the Company") have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with
the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of
only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included.  Operating results for the quarter and six
months ended December 27, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending  June 27, 1998.  For
further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Company's Registration Statement on Form
S-4 (File No. 333-376-17).

The financial statements for the periods or portions of periods prior to
August 2, 1997, consist of the combined accounts of Delta Mills, Inc. and
the Delta Mills, Inc. marketing divisions of Delta Consolidated
Corporation.  On August 2, 1997, the assets of the Delta Mills, Inc.
marketing divisions of Delta Consolidated Corporation were contributed to a
new corporation, Delta Mills Marketing Company, Inc., a subsidiary of Delta
Mills, Inc.

NOTE B-DEBT AND EQUITY

On August 25, 1997, the Company issued $150 million of unsecured ten-year
senior notes at an interest rate of 9.625%, and obtained a secured five-
year $100 million revolving line of credit.  The net proceeds of the senior
notes, the initial borrowings under the new revolving line of credit and a
capital contribution of $49.7 million were used to repay the long-term debt
and current amounts payable to affiliate.   Other assets are deferred loan
costs primarily attributable to the unsecured senior notes.  These costs
are being amortized over the life of the debt.


DELTA MILLS, INC.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 1998 totaled $115 million, as
compared to $119 million for the second quarter of fiscal 1997, a decrease
of 3%.  Net sales in the woven fabrics division were down slightly at $85
million in the second quarter of fiscal 1998 as compared to the second
quarter of fiscal 1997, primarily due to a decline in sales of commercial
fabrics. Net sales in the knitted fabrics division were $30 million in the
second quarter of fiscal 1998, down from $33 million in the second quarter
of fiscal 1997, a decrease of 9%.  Units sold as sell as unit prices
decreased in the knitted fabrics division, primarily in sales to related
parties.
     
Net sales for the first six months of fiscal year 1998 totaled $235
million, as compared to $219 million for the  first six months of fiscal
year 1997, an increase of 7%.  Sales of the woven fabrics division were
$174 million in the first six months of fiscal year 1998 as compared to
$158 million in the first six months of fiscal year 1997, an increase of
10% resulting from an increase in unit sales and unit prices.  Sales of the
knitted fabrics division were $61 million for the first six months of
fiscal year 1998, approximately the same as for the first six months of the
prior fiscal year.
     
The gross profit margin in the second quarter of fiscal 1998 was 13%, down
slightly compared to the second quarter of fiscal 1997.  During the second
quarter of fiscal 1998, the woven fabrics division's gross profit was $15
million, approximately the same when compared to the second quarter of
fiscal 1997.  Gross profit in the knitted fabrics division decreased from a
profit of $.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1997 to a loss of $.4
million in the second quarter of fiscal 1998.  This decline was due to
reduced sales as described above and to an increase of off-quality
production.

The gross profit margin in the first six months of fiscal year 1998 was
13%, a slight increase compared to the first six months of the prior fiscal
year.  During the first six months of fiscal year 1998, woven fabrics
division gross profit was $32 million, compared to $28 million for the
first six months of the prior fiscal year, a 13% increase. The gross profit
increase was due principally to an increase in demand for both government
and commercial fabrics supported by increased capacity in cotton fabric
production.   Gross profit in the knitted fabrics division declined from a
profit of $.5 million for the first six months of fiscal 1998 to a loss of
$.6 million for the first six months of fiscal year 1998.  This decline was
due to an increase in off-quality production, and certain non-recurring
accrual adjustments in fiscal 1997.

Operating earnings for the second quarter of fiscal 1998 were $8 million,
as compared to $11 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1997.  Operating
earnings in the woven fabrics division declined to $11 million in the
second quarter of fiscal 1998, from $13 million in the second fiscal
quarter 1997.   Operating earnings in the second quarter of the prior
fiscal year included  a $1.2 million gain on the sale of a warehouse in the
woven fabrics division.  The knitted fabrics division reported operating
losses in the second quarter of fiscal 1998 and in the second quarter of
fiscal 1997.


MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS--Continued

Operating earnings for the six months ended December 27, 1997 were $18
million, approximately the same as in the first six months of the prior
fiscal year.  Operating earnings in the woven fabrics division were $24
million in the six months ended December 27, 1997, up from $22 million for
the first six months of the prior fiscal year.   Earnings for the first six
months of the prior fiscal year included a $1.2 million gain described in
the preceding paragraph.  Operating losses in the knitted fabrics division
increased in the current six months compared to the same period of the
prior fiscal year.

Interest expense for the quarter and six-months ended December 27, 1997 was
up compared to the same periods of the prior fiscal year.  The increase in
interest expense is primarily a result of the refinancing described in Note
B to the accompanying financial statements.

With respect to certain South Carolina plants, the Company is working with
the appropriate state agency in developing a corrective action plan for
addressing toxicity and other permit-related issues including upgrades at
the Company's Delta 2 and 3 finishing plants.  A Delta 2 and 3 consent
order (#97-109W) became effective on December 2, 1997.  The order included
a $4,000 penalty, which has been paid.  The order requires correction of
waste treatment plant deficiencies by November 1, 1998.  Construction to
upgrade the treatment process has commenced.  The upgrades are estimated to
cost between $2.0 million and $2.5 million. Management believes
construction will be complete, deficiencies corrected, and the upgraded
treatment process in operation before the November 1, 1998 deadline.

The Company believes that cash flow generated by its operations and funds
