NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

JANUARY 1, 1994

NOTE--BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements of Delta Woodside Industries, 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
three  and six months ended January 1, 1994 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ending July 2, 1994.  For further information, refer
to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto
included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the
year ended July 3, 1993.

NOTE B--INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense for the prior year includes a cumulative
effect adjustment of $875,000 related to the adoption in
fiscal 1993 of a new standard of accounting for income taxes.
Reserves for litigation and restructuring have resulted in an
increase since July 3, 1993 of approximately $17 million in
current deferred income taxes.

NOTE C--REPURCHASE OF COMMON STOCK

During the first six months of fiscal 1994 the Company
repurchased 2.3 million shares of its Common Stock for $25.3
million.

NOTE D--NOTE PAYABLE

On October 6, 1993 the Company increased a short-term line of
credit with a bank from $15 million to $50 million, and on
October 19, 1993 obtained an additional short-term line of
credit for $25 million.

NOTE E--LITIGATION AND RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

Losses in the quarter ended January 1, 1994 included a charge
to income of $33.0  million to establish a reserve in
connection with an Alabama jury award on November 24, 1993 to
a former Duck Head Apparel Company sales representative and
two of his associates on their claims against Duck Head
regarding disputes as to commissions paid.  The jury award was
for approximately $29.1 million and included approximately
$852,000 for contractual compensatory damages (which was
trebled under an Alabama statute to approximately $2,556,000),
$7.0 million for mental anguish, and $19.5 million as punitive
damages.  The Company is in the process of seeking reversal or
reduction of this jury award.  However, there is no assurance
that these challenges will be successful, and the Company has
established the litigation reserve noted above for this
judgment and costs associated with the post judgment and
appeal process.

In addition to this litigation reserve, the Company also
recorded  a restructuring charge to income of approximately
$12.7 million during the latest quarter to account for asset

                                7
<PAGE>
NOTE E--LITIGATION AND RESTRUCTURING CHARGES--Continued

writedowns and future costs expected to result from decisions
made in light of current market conditions and the performance
of certain of the Company's operating units.  These decisions
include plans to sell the Company's Harper Brothers office
products business, the continued consolidation of Stevcoknit's
plant facilities, and consolidation of Duck Head Apparel
Company's warehouse and distribution operations.  The $12.7
million restructuring charge includes approximately $6.3
million for writedown of assets and approximately $6.4 million
for expenditures to be made during the next 18 months.

NOTE F--CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The Company's Nautilus business has been named as a
"potentially responsible party" ("PRP") under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
Liability Act ("CERCLA") with respect to three sites in North
Carolina, South Carolina, and Mississippi.  To the Company's
knowledge, all of the transactions with these sites were
conducted by a corporation (the "Selling Corporation") whose
assets were acquired in 1990 pursuant to the terms of an order
of the United States Bankruptcy Court by another corporation,
the stock of which was subsequently acquired by the Company in
January 1993.

At the North Carolina sites, the Company's information is that
there are over 500 PRPs, and the Nautilus business is listed
as a "de minimis" party.  The Company currently does not have
information respecting the costs that may be incurred with
respect to this site.

At the South Carolina site, there are over 700 PRPs and the
Company expects that the Selling Corporation will be listed as
a "de minimis" party.  The site's PRP Group has completed a
surface removal action (the removal of drums, equipment and
materials), the Selling Corporation's share of the cost of
which is immaterial.  The PRP Group is investigating soil
and groundwater contamination at the site, but there is
currently insufficient information available to estimate the
cost of remediating that contamination.

At the Mississippi site, the PRP group is in the process of
performing a surface removal action and is investigating soil
and groundwater contamination, both at the site and in the
surrounding area.  Based on its current information, the
Company does not believe that the Selling Corporation's share
of the cost of the surface removal action will be material,
but there is currently insufficient information available to
estimate the cost of remediation of the soil and groundwater
contamination at the site and in the surrounding area.
According to a tentative ranking of the PRPs' respective
contributions of material to the site, the Nautilus business
is ranked 9th out of a total of approximately 35 PRPs.
Trichloroethane, one of the substances delivered by the
Selling Corporation to the site, has been found in the site's
groundwater and at nearby residential drinking water wells.

Although there is uncertainty as to several legal issues, the
Company believes that it has certain defenses to liability at
these sites.  The Company, therefore, has denied any
responsibility at the sites and has declined to participate as
a member of the respective PRP groups.

Two other lawsuits have been brought by individuals who
previously served as salesmen for the Duck Head division,
which suits make allegations similar to those in the Hoots
Suit.  One of the suits was settled during January 1994 with a
payment by Duck Head to the plaintiff of $350,000 and each
party giving general release to the other.  The other suit is
pending in the United States District Court for the Western
District of Kentucky at Owensboro, Kentucky.

The amount of damages claimed in this suit has not yet been
determined, and the ultimate impact of this suit on the
Company is as yet unknown.

From time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries are
defendants in other legal actions involving claims arising in
the normal course of business, including product liability
claims.  The Company believes that, as a result of its legal
defenses, insurance arrangements, reserves and indemnification
provisions with financially capable parties, none of these
other actions should have a material adverse effect on its
operations or financial condition.

Item 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
          CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales for the fiscal quarter ended January 1, 1994 were
$149,344,000, a decrease of 8% from the same quarter last
year.  The Company's fitness equipment division, which was
purchased in January 1993, accounted for approximately $7.3
million in sales for the latest fiscal quarter.  Net losses,
inclusive of certain reserves established during the quarter
ended January 1, 1994 as discussed below, were $31,995,000 as
compared to net income of $6,100,000 in the quarter ended
December 26, 1992.  Losses in the most recent quarter were
$1.31 per share on the  24,498,000 average shares outstanding
as compared to net come per share of $.23 on the 26,408,000
average shares outstanding during the comparable quarter of
fiscal 1993.  Shares outstanding decreased due to the
Company's repurchase of approximately 1.5 million shares in
the first quarter of fiscal 1994 and an additional .8 million
shares during the most recent quarter at a total cost during
the first six months of fiscal 1994 of approximately $25.3
million.

Net sales for the six months ended January 1, 1994, were
$295,770,000 compared to $315,600,000 for the six months ended
December 26, 1992, a decrease of 6%.  The fitness equipment
division accounted for approximately $13.5 million of sales in
the first six months of the current fiscal year.  Net losses
for the six months ended January 1, 1994, were $30,201,000
compared to net income of $12,530,000 in the six months ended
December 26, 1992.  On a per share basis, losses were $1.21
per share on the 24,857,000 average shares outstanding in the
six months ended January 1, 1994, compared to earnings per
share of $.47 per share on the 26,405,000 average shares
outstanding in the six months ended December 26, 1992.

Losses in the quarter ended January 1, 1994 included a charge
to income of $33 million to establish a reserve in connection
with an Alabama jury award on November 24, 1993 to a former
Duck Head Apparel Company sales representative and two of his
associates on their claims against Duck Head regarding
disputes as to commissions paid.  The jury award was for
approximately $29.1 million and included approximately
$852,000 for contractual compensatory damages (which was
trebled under an Alabama statute to approximately $2,556,000),
$7.0 million for mental anguish, and $19.5 million as punitive
damages.  The Company is in the process of seeking reversal or
reduction of this jury award.  However, there is no assurance
that these challenges will be successful, and the Company has
established the litigation reserve noted above for this
judgment and costs, including interest, associated with the
post judgment and appeal process.

In addition to this litigation reserve, the Company also
recorded  a restructuring charge to income of approximately
$12.7 million during the latest quarter to account for asset
writedowns and future costs expected to result from decisions
made in light of current market conditions and the performance
of certain of the Company's operating units.  These decisions
include plans to sell the Company's Harper Brothers office
products business, the continued consolidation of Stevcoknit's
plant facilities, and consolidation of Duck Head Apparel
Company's warehouse and distribution operations.  The $12.7
million restructuring charge includes approximately $6.3
million for writedown of assets and approximately $6.4 million
for expenditures to be made during the next 18 months.  The
Company believes that these restructuring decisions will
enable it to better focus on its core businesses and result in
lower operating costs.

The $45.7 million of pre-tax charges to establish the
litigation and restructuring reserves described above were
equivalent on an after tax basis to approximately $28.3
million or $1.16 per share after taxes on the average number
of shares outstanding during the latest quarter ended January
1, 1994.

Item 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS--Continued

Consolidated gross profit margin was 12% of sales in the
latest fiscal quarter as compared to 16% in the same quarter
of fiscal 1993.

Sales in the textile segment were 14% lower and gross profits
were 33% lower in the quarter ended January 1, 1994 than in
the same quarter a year ago.  Sales of both woven and knitted
textiles were lower than in the previous year, due principally
to weakness in women's wear and unfinished fabric sales of
woven textiles, and to continued disruption in knit fabric
operations caused by the consolidation of the Company's knit
finishing facilities.  Gross profit margins of woven textiles
were slightly lower than those in corresponding quarter of the
prior year.  Gross profit margins of knitted textiles were
substantially lower than in the second fiscal quarter of last
year, due both to disruption costs and to lower sales prices
obtained in a continuing weak knit fabrics market.  The
textile segment accounted for 64% of consolidated sales and
59% of consolidated gross profit in the latest quarter
compared to 68% and 60%, respectively, in the same quarter of
fiscal 1993.

In the apparel segment, sales were 10% lower and gross profits
were 79% lower in the second quarter of fiscal 1994 than in
the second quarter of last year.  Increases in sales by the
Company's retail outlet stores were more than offset by
decreases in sales of knit apparel to screen printers and
private label customers and in sales of Duck Head branded
woven and knit apparel.  Gross profit margins were lower in
knit apparel due principally to lower sale prices caused by
continuing oversupply of T-shirts in the national market.
Gross profit margins were substantially lower in branded
apparel due principally to sales of seasonal closeout
inventory.  During the quarter, the Company charged income in
the apparel segment by approximately $3.6 million to increase
reserves for inventory markdowns.  The apparel segment
accounted for 27% and 10% of the consolidated sales and gross
profit for the current fiscal quarter as compared to 28% and
33%, respectively, for the same period a year ago.

In the quarter ended January 1, 1994, the contribution by the
Company's other businesses--office products and fitness
equipment--to consolidated sales and gross profit was 9% and
31%, respectively.  In the same quarter last year, this
segment consisted only of office products and contributed 4%
of consolidated sales and 7% of gross profits.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by
approximately $8 million in the quarter just ended over the
same period last year.  Expenses related to Nautilus
International which was not acquired until January 1993,
increased expenses caused by the expansion of the number of
Duck Head Retail Outlet stores, and charges related to
increased reserves for bad debts accounted for the major
portion of these increased expenses.

The Company's estimated effective tax rate for fiscal 1994 is
approximately 38%.  The increased federal statutory rate from
34% to 35% was offset by a reduction in the provision for
state income tax expense.

The total order backlog at January 1, 1994 was $139,640,000
compared with the order backlog of $203,879,000 at December
26, 1992.  Order backlogs at both dates include those of
Nautilus International.  Backlogs in both the textile and
apparel segments are lower than at the same time last year.
The current backlog of textile segment orders is also lower
than at the beginning of the current fiscal year, but apparel
segment backlogs are higher than at the beginning of this
fiscal year.
                                11
<PAGE>

Item 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS--Continued

Inventory levels increased from $198.3 million at July 3, 1993
to $208.8 million at January 1, 1994.  Inventories in the
textile segment increased as a result of lower order activity
over the past six months as compared to the same period in the
prior fiscal year.  Inventories in the apparel segment
decreased slightly, and inventories in the office supply and
fitness equipment businesses increased slightly, during the
same period of the current fiscal year.  Although inventories
in the apparel segment have decreased slightly since the
beginning of the current fiscal year, they remain at a level
that management considers too high.  To address this, the
inventory acquisition policies and procedures in the apparel
segment have been improved, and reserves for closeout
inventories have been increased.

During the latest quarter, the Company did not run full
manufacturing schedules in its textile and apparel operations
as it continued to adjust to the current industry inventory
cycle.  The Company does not expect any major production
curtailments in the quarter ending in March 1994.

If apparel sales at retail continue to improve, the Company
believes that its apparel segment's performance will be better
in the third fiscal quarter of the current year than it was
during the first two quarters.  However, the Company believes
that, except for sales of woven wrinkle resistant fabrics, its
textile segment will still face reduced demand for its
products until at least April of 1994.

Cotton fiber prices can significantly affect the Company's
costs.  Cotton prices have increased about 32% since January
1, 1994.  About 82% of the Company's intake of cotton through
the rest of the current fiscal year has been fixed as to
price, at prices approximately 17% lower than current market
but at prices approximately 15% higher than those of cotton
purchased during the first half of the current fiscal year.
The Company believes that cotton prices will continue to
increase over the short term.  There is no assurance that the
Company's textile segment will be able to recover these
additional costs in its prices to customers.

During the six months ended January 1, 1994, the Company's
"Accrued and sundry liabilities" increased by approximately
$34.5 million and its "Prepaid and other current assets" and
"Deferred income taxes" (current) increased by approximately
$23.1 million.  These  balance sheet changes are related
principally to the litigation and restructuring charges
discussed above and related deferred tax benefits.

The Company's Nautilus business has been named as a
"potentially responsible party" ("PRP") under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
Liability Act ("CERCLA") with respect to three sites in North
Carolina, South Carolina, and Mississippi.  To the Company's
knowledge, all of the transactions with these sites were
conducted by a corporation (the "Selling Corporation") whose
assets were acquired in 1990 pursuant to the terms of an order
of the United States Bankruptcy Court by another corporation,
the stock of which was subsequently acquired by the Company in
January 1993.

At the North Carolina site, the Company's information is that
there are over 500 PRPs and the Nautilus business is listed as
a "de minimis" party.  The Company currently does not have
information respecting the costs that may be incurred with
respect to this site.

At the South Carolina site, there are over 700 PRPs and the
Company expects that the Selling Corporation will be listed as
a "de minimis" party.  The site's PRP Group has completed a
surface removal action (the removal of drums, equipment and
materials), the

                                 12
<PAGE>

Item 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS--Continued

Selling Corporation's share of the cost of which is
immaterial.  The PRP Group is investigating soil and
groundwater contamination at the site, but there is currently
insufficient information available to estimate the cost of
remediating that contamination.

At the Mississippi site, the PRP group is in the process of
performing a surface removal action and is investigating soil
and groundwater contamination, both at the site and in the
surrounding area.  Based on its current information, the
Company does not believe that the Selling Corporation's share
of the cost of the surface removal action will be material,
but there is currently insufficient information available to
estimate the cost of remediation of the soil and groundwater
contamination at the site and in the surrounding area.
According to a tentative ranking of the PRPs' respective
contributions of material to the site, the Nautilus business
is ranked 9th out of a total of approximately 35 PRPs.
Trichloroethane, one of the substances delivered by the
Selling Corporation to the site, has been found in the site's
groundwater and at nearby residential drinking water wells.

Although there is uncertainty as to several legal issues, the
Company believes that it has certain defenses to liability at
these sites.  The Company, therefore, has denied any
responsibility at the sites and has declined to participate as
a member of the respective PRP groups.

Two other lawsuits have been brought by individuals who
previously served as salesmen for the Duck Head division,
which suits make allegations similar to those in the Hoots
Suit.  One of the suits was settled during January 1994 with a
payment by Duck Head to the plaintiff of $350,000 and each
party giving a general release to the other.  The other suit
is pending in the United States District Court for the Western
District of Kentucky at Owensboro, Kentucky.  The amount of
damages claimed in this suit has not yet been determined, and
the ultimate impact of this suit on the Company is as yet
unknown.

On February 11, 1994, the Company obtained an amendment of the
Credit Agreement with its principal lenders that among other
matters, lowered to $255 million the amount of Tangible Net
Worth (defined to exclude the effect of the Hoots Suit
described above) that the Company is required currently to
maintain, and obtained a waiver from these lenders respecting
the ratio of the second 1994 fiscal quarter's consolidated net
income before interest expense and income taxes to interest
expense being less than 2.5.

As of January 1, 1994, the Company had the $175 million credit
facility provided by the Credit Agreement and two additional
bank credit lines that aggregate $75 million and will reduce
to $15 million in October 1994.  As a result of the Credit
Agreement amendment described above, the Company's loan
covenants generally limit the Company's total indebtedness to
$225 million plus any amount required to fund the Hoots Suit
described above.  Assuming the Credit Agreement amendment had
been in place on January 1, 1994, the unused amount of the
Company's credit facilities on that date under the limit
described above would have been approximately $46 million.
The amount outstanding under the Company's credit lines
fluctuates from time to time based on, among other factors,
inventory levels and accounts receivable payments.  The
Company's ability to borrow under its credit lines is subject
to various conditions.

The Company intends to continue examining near and long-term
alternatives to strengthen its balance sheet.  Such
alternatives may include debt financings.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.        Legal Proceedings

          On November 24, 1993, a jury in the Circuit Court of
       Montgomery County, Alabama (the "Circuit Court"),
       awarded $29,056,353.60 to a former Duck Head sales
       representative (Ken Hoots) and two of his salesmen
       (Terry Long and Bill Pace) against a subsidiary of
       Delta Woodside Industries, Inc. (the "Company").  The
       Circuit Court entered judgment on such award against
       the Company's subsidiary on November 24, 1993.  The
       suit, which is captioned Ken Hoots, Terry Long and Bill
       Pace v. Duck Head Apparel Company, Inc., et.al. (the
       "Hoots Suit"), was commenced by the filing of a
       Complaint in the Circuit Court on March 17, 1992.

          The Hoots Suit concerns a dispute over sales
       commissions that the plaintiffs claim are owed them by
       the subsidiary.  The Circuit Court jury found in favor
       of the plaintiffs against the subsidiary, awarding:

          (a)  $2,556,353.60 to the plaintiffs on their claim
               of breach of contract under an Alabama treble
               damage statute (which amount represents three
               times the actual damages found by the jury),

          (b)  $4,000,000 to Ken Hoots,$2,000,000 to Terry
               Long and $1,000,000 to Bill Pace for mental
               anguish on their claim for fraud, and

          (c)  $19,500,000 to the plaintiffs as punitive
               damages on their claim of fraud.

          The Company believes that the verdict is
       fundamentally unjust and intends vigorously to seek its
       reversal or reduction, first by making appropriate
       motions before the Circuit Court judge and then, if
       necessary, appealing the matter to the Alabama Supreme
       Court.

          The Company is seeking recovery of a portion of the
       award under certain of its insurance policies.  At this
       time, however, there is no assurance that any portion
       of the award will be recovered by the Company through
       insurance.

          Alabama law permits the plaintiffs to recover
       interest at the rate of 12% per annum on the amount of
       the final adjudicated award from the date the original
       judgment was entered (November 24, 1993) until the date
       that any final adjudicated award is paid to the
       plaintiffs.

          In order to prevent execution of the judgment during
       the post-trial stage, the Company has guaranteed
       payment of the final adjudicated award and may, during
       the post-trial or appellate level stages, be required
       to post bond or other security in the amount of 125% of
       the amount of the jury award after any adjustments that
       may be made by the trial court.  The plaintiffs in the
       Hoots Suit have agreed that execution on the judgment
       in the case shall be stayed until ten days after the
       deadline for filing any appeal has passed and, subject
       to the posting of a bond in the amount of 125% of the
       judgment, shall be further stayed pending any appeal.

          Two other lawsuits have been brought by individuals
       who previously served as salesmen for the Duck Head
       division, which suits make allegations similar to those
       in the Hoots Suit.  One of the suits was settled during
       January 1994 with a

          payment by Duck Head to the plaintiff of $350,000

       Court for the Western District of Kentucky at
       Owensboro, Kentucky.  The amount of damages claimed in
       this suit has not yet been determined, and the ultimate
       impact of this suit on the Company is as yet unknown.

                               to
                        Credit Agreement
                    dated as of June 24, 1992


          WAIVER AND AMENDMENT NO. 2 entered into as of February
11, 1994 among DELTA WOODSIDE INDUSTRIES, INC., a South Carolina
corporation (the "Borrower"), the Lenders (as defined in the
Credit Agreement as hereinafter defined), and THE FIRST NATIONAL
BANK OF BOSTON, a national banking association, as agent (the
"Agent") for the Lenders.

                      Preliminary Statement

          The Borrower, the Lenders and the Agent are parties to
a Credit Agreement dated as of June 24, 1992 as amended by
Amendment No. 1 dated as of September 23, 1993 (said Agreement,
as so amended, the "Credit Agreement"; terms defined therein,
unless otherwise defined herein, being used herein as therein
defined).

          As a result of the entry by the Circuit Court of
Montgomery County, Alabama of a judgment against Alchem Capital
Corporation (as successor to Duck Head Apparel Company, Inc., a
North Carolina corporation) in the case styled Hoots v. Duck Head
Apparel Company, Inc., the Borrower has, in accordance with GAAP,
established certain reserves in respect of such judgment.  The
Borrower has also established reserves in respect of other
matters.  The Borrower has requested that the Agent and the
Lenders agree to grant certain waivers and effect certain
amendments to the Credit Agreement to reflect the effect of such
reserves and of certain other circumstances related to said
litigation, and the Agent and the Lenders have, subject to the
terms, conditions and provisions of this Amendment, agreed to
grant such waivers and effect such amendments, all as more fully
set forth herein.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Credit
Agreement, the mutual covenants set forth therein and herein and
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto

     consensual agreement of the litigants.

          and (ii) amending the definition "Permitted Liens" by

     such last day; provided that (1) prior to Final Disposition,

     Consolidated Subsidiaries of reserves established and
     maintained in an amount not exceeding $36.4 million solely
     in connection with the Alabama Judgment and (2) from and

(iii) inserting therein a new clause (d) to read as follows:

     obligation in respect of any letter of credit, bond or note
     or other similar instrument that may be issued by or for the
     account of the Borrower or one or more Consolidated
     Subsidiaries and deposited with the applicable court as
     security for the Alabama Judgment, and

immediately before the period at the end thereof the phrase "plus

million plus the expenses, if any, of enforcement of such
Guaranty and (b)";

          (e)  amending Section 9.9 Liens by inserting
immediately before the period at the end thereof a new phrase to
read as follows:

     ; except that this Section 9.9 shall not apply, prior to
     Final Disposition, to any Lien affecting property of the
     Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries created solely by the
     filing or recording of the Alabama Judgment in public
     records or an attempt to execute on the Alabama Judgment, in
     either case so long as execution of the Alabama Judgment is
     effectively stayed

          (f)  further amending the Credit Agreement by deleting
therefrom Schedule 6.1(j) Litigation thereto and substituting
therefor as such Schedule 6.1(j), Annex 2 attached hereto.

          Section 2.     Waiver.  Subject to the provisions of
Section 3, the Agent and the Lenders hereby waive compliance and
the effects of non-compliance by the Borrower and its
Consolidated Subsidiaries with the provisions of Section 9.1(d)
of the Credit Agreement for the Fiscal Quarter of the Borrower
ended January 1, 1994 to the extent of the Consolidated net loss
of approximately $51 million (before taxes) reported by the
Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for such Fiscal
Quarter.

          Section 3.  Effectiveness.  The provisions of Sections
1 and 2 hereof shall become effective as of the date hereof on
the date (the "Amendment Effective Date") on which (a)
counterparts of this Amendment duly executed by the Borrower and
the Majority Lenders, and of the Consent attached to this
Amendment duly executed by each of the Subsidiary Guarantors,
shall have been received by the Agent and (b) the Agent shall

supersedes the letter waiver dated December 30, 1993 delivered by
the Lenders and the Agent to the Borrower and from and after the
Amendment Effective Date such letter waiver shall be of no
further force or effect.  This Amendment shall be limited
precisely as written and shall not be deemed to (i) be a consent
to the modification or waiver of any term or condition of the
Credit Agreement not modified or waived herein or of any of the
instruments or agreements referred to therein, or (ii) prejudice
any right or rights which the Lenders or the Agent may now have
under or in connection with the Credit Agreement, as amended by
this Amendment.  Except as expressly modified hereby, all of the
terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement, including, without
being limited to, the provisions of Sections 10.1(j) and 10.1(k),
shall continue in full force and effect and the Borrower hereby
confirms each and every one of its obligations under the Credit
Agreement, as amended by this Amendment.  On and after the
effective date of this Amendment, each reference in the Credit
Agreement to "this Agreement," "hereunder," "hereof" or words of
like import referring to the Credit Agreement, and each reference
in the Notes and the other Loan Documents to "the Credit
Agreement," "thereunder," "thereof" or words of like import
referring to the Credit Agreement, shall mean and be a reference
to the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment.

     Section 5.  General Provisions.

          (a) This Amendment shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia.

          (b) This Amendment may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to
be an original and shall be binding upon all parties, their
successors and assigns, and all of which taken together shall
constitute one and the same agreement.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the undersigned has caused this
Amendment to be executed and delivered by its duly authorized
officer as of the date first above written.
