              GARAN, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
            MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Certain statements included in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations and elsewhere in this report
contain "forward-looking statements" based upon management's expectations and
beliefs concerning future events impacting the registrant.  Actual results of
operations or financial condition may differ because of business conditions in
the apparel industry generally, competition, the addition or loss of a
significant customer or personnel, the timing of orders placed by the
registrant's customers, and such other risk factors as may be identified from
time to time in the registrant's filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

At June 30, 1998, working capital was $70,484,000, an increase of $ 2,077,000
from September 30, 1997, working capital of $68,407,000.  The increase was due
primarily to a seasonal increase in inventory offset by decreases in accounts
receivable and cash and cash equivalents.  Shareholders' equity at June 30,
1998, was $105,263,000, or $20.52 book value per share, as compared to
$100,786,000, or $19.88 book value per share, at September 30, 1997.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three and Nine Month Periods Ended June 30, 1998, and June 30, 1997.

Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1998 were $43,706,000, compared to
$29,568,000 for the same period last year.  Net earnings for the third quarter
were $3,071,000, equal to $0.60 per share, compared to $1,833,000, or $0.36
per share, last year.  Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 1998 were
$122,515,000 compared to $98,172,000 last year.  Net earnings for the nine
month period were $8,567,000, equal to $1.68 per share, compared to
$5,811,000, or $1.14 per share, last year.  The increase in net sales for both
periods was principally attributable to an increase in units sold.

Gross margin for the three month period ended June 30, 1998, was $10,439,000,
or 23.9% of net sales, compared to $7,480,000, or 25.3% of net sales, for the 
comparable period last year.  Gross margin for the nine months ended June 30, 
1998, was $29,157,000, or 23.8% of net sales, compared to $23,715,000, or 
24.2% of net sales, for the comparable period last year.  The increase in 
gross margin dollars was due to the increased sales volume.  The slight
reduction in the gross profit percentage was due to changes in the product
mix.

Selling and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1998,
were $5,980,000, or 13.7% of net sales, as compared to $5,095,000, or 17.2% of
net sales, for the comparable period last year.  Selling and administrative
expenses for the nine-months ended June 30, 1998, were $17,074,000, or 13.9%
of net sales, as compared to $16,068,000, or 16.4% of net sales, for the
comparable period last year. The increase in selling and administrative
expenses was a result of increased volume related expenses and advertising
costs. The decrease in selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of
net sales resulted from the increased sales volume.


YEAR 2000

The registrant's principal computer systems consist of (i) management
information software ("MIS"), such as payroll, accounts receivable, and
general ledger, (ii) electronic data interchange ("EDI") for order-taking,
invoicing, and the like between the registrant and its major customers and
suppliers, and (iii) systems involved in the registrant's manufacturing
operations.  The registrant has either purchased or plans to purchase new
software to replace all of the components of its MIS systems which were not
Year 2000 compliant, has purchased and is implementing new, Year 2000
compliant EDI software, and does not require any material change to its
manufacturing systems for Year 2000 compliance.  Although the registrant could
incur operating problems if it were unable to receive orders from its
customers through EDI if the customer is not EDI compliant, the registrant
believes that its major customers either have completed or are in the process
of completing Year 2000 compliance projects with respect to their EDI systems. 
The entire cost of the registrant's Year 2000 compliance program is not
material to the registrant, and the registrant anticipates that all of its
computer systems will be Year 2000 compliant by June 30, 1999.
