Item  I  Business
- -----------------

GENERAL

     Delta  Woodside  Industries,  Inc. ("Delta Woodside" or the "Company") is a
South  Carolina  corporation with its principal executive offices located at 233
North  Main  Street,  Suite  200,  Greenville,  South  Carolina 29601 (telephone
number:  864-232-8301).  All  references herein to Delta Woodside or the Company
refer  to  Delta  Woodside  Industries,  Inc.  and  its  subsidiaries.

     The  Company  has three operating divisions.  Delta Mills Marketing Company
produces  a range of cotton, synthetic and blended finished and unfinished woven
products  which  are  sold  for  the  ultimate  production  of  apparel,  home
furnishings,  and  other  products.  Duck  Head  Apparel produces woven and knit
apparel,  including the "Duck Head" (Reg. Trademark) line of casualwear marketed
primarily  in  the Southeastern United States to department stores and specialty
apparel  retailers.  Duck  Head  Apparel  also operates 24 retail apparel outlet
stores  that  sell primarily closeout and irregular "Duck Head" products.  Delta
Apparel  manufactures  and  sells  T-shirts,  fleece  goods  and  sportswear  to
distributors,  screen  printers  and  private  label  accounts.  The Company has
operations  in  12  states, Costa Rica and Honduras, and has approximately 5,000
employees.

     During  fiscal  1998 the Company made the decision to exit the knit textile
market  by  closing  its  Stevcoknit  Fabrics  Company operating division.  Also
during  fiscal  1998 the Company made the decision to exit the fitness equipment
(Nautilus  International)  business.  Stevcoknit  Fabrics  Company  and Nautilus
International  have  been  classified  and  reported as discontinued operations.
Most  of  the  liquidation of Stevcoknit Fabrics Company was completed in fiscal
1998.  The  Nautilus  International  business  was  sold  in  January  1999.

     Delta  Woodside  Industries,  Inc.  is  the  successor  by  merger to Delta
Woodside  Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation that was incorporated in 1986
and  whose  subsidiaries'  businesses  were  acquired  beginning  in  1984.  The
corporation  that  is  now  Delta  Woodside Industries, Inc. was incorporated in
1972.

PRODUCTS,  MARKETING  AND  MANUFACTURING

     The  Company  produces  woven  textile  fabrics  through  its  Delta  Mills
Marketing  Company  operating division.  It conducts its branded and non-branded
apparel operations through the "Duck Head" and "Delta Apparel" (Reg. Trademarks)
divisions  respectively.  The  Company  also licenses the use of the "Duck Head"
trademark.   Each  division  has  its  own management and employees and operates
independently  of  the  other  divisions  under  the  overall  direction  of the
Company's  executive  officers.  Intersegment  sales  accounted for no more than
approximately  2%  of  net sales in any segment for fiscal 1999, 1998, and 1997.

     Woven  textile  fabrics  produced  for sale by the Company are manufactured
from  cotton,  wool  or  synthetic fibers or from synthetic filament yarns. Knit
fabrics  are manufactured by the Company using cotton and polyester cotton blend
yarns  for  use  in  its knit apparel operations.  Cotton and wool are purchased
from  numerous  suppliers.  Synthetic  fibers  and  synthetic filament yarns are

                                        3
<PAGE>
purchased from a smaller number of competitive suppliers.  The Company spins the
major  portion  of  the spun yarns used in its weaving  and knitting operations.
In manufacturing these yarns, the cotton and synthetic fibers, either separately
or  in  blends, are carded (fibers straightened and oriented) and then spun into
yarn.  The  Company combs (removing short fibers) some cotton fiber to make high
quality yarns.  In other fabrics, filament yarns are used.  The spun or filament
yarn  is  then  woven  into  fabric  on looms or knitted into fabric on knitting
machines.  The  unfinished  fabric at this stage is referred to as greige goods.
If  sold  at  this  stage, greige goods are typically sold to converters who, in
turn,  enhance  the  fabric  through  finishing  techniques  and  sell  it  to
manfacturers  of apparel, home furnishings and other products.   Finished fabric
refers  to  fabric  that  has  been  treated  by  washing, bleaching, dyeing and
applying  certain  chemical finishes. Finished apparel fabric is ready to be cut
and  sewn  into  garments.  Finished fabrics generally have significantly higher
margins  than  greige  goods.

     The  Company  sells  its  woven  fabrics  primarily  to  numerous  apparel
manufacturers  and  apparel  resellers.  Apparel  products are sold primarily to
department stores and specialty retailers under the Company's "Duck Head" label,
to  private  label  apparel  resellers, and to distributors and screen printers.

     DELTA  MILLS  MARKETING  SEGMENT

     Delta  Mills  Marketing  Company  sells  a  broad range of finished apparel
fabrics primarily to branded apparel manufacturers and resellers, including Levi
Strauss,  Haggar  Corp.,  the  Wrangler  and Lee  divisions of V.F. Corporation,
Farah  Incorporated, Kellwood Company and Liz Claiborne, Inc., and private label
apparel  manufacturers  for  J.C.  Penney  Company,  Inc.,  Sears Roebuck & Co.,
Wal-Mart  Stores,  Inc., and other retailers.  The Company believes that it is a
leading  producer of cotton pants-weight woven fabric used in the manufacture of
casual  slacks  such as Levi Strauss' Dockers  and Haggar Corp.'s Wrinkle-Free .
Other  apparel  items  manufactured  with  the  Company's  woven fabrics include
women's  chinos  pants,  women's  blazers,  career apparel (uniforms) and battle
dress  camouflage  military  uniforms.   Net  sales  of  woven fabrics were $314
million,  $342  million,  and  $336  million  during fiscal 1999, 1998, and 1997
respectively.  Sales  of  woven fabric to Levi Strauss & Co., Inc. accounted for
approximately 15%, 12% and 15% of the Company's total net sales for fiscal 1999,
1998  and  1997,  respectively.  The  loss of this account could have a material
adverse  effect  on  the  results  of  the  Company.

     Delta Mills Marketing Company has focused its marketing efforts on building
close  relationships  with  major apparel companies that have broad distribution
channels  and that the Company believes have positioned themselves for long term
growth.  The  woven fabrics division sells and distributes its fabrics through a
marketing  office  based  in  New  York  City  (which  serves the United States,
Canadian  and  Mexican  markets), with sales agents also operating from Atlanta,
Chicago,  Dallas,  Los  Angeles,  San  Francisco  and  Mexico.

     During  fiscal  years 1999, 1998, and 1997, approximately 78%, 70% and 70%,
respectively, of the division's finished woven fabric sales were of fabrics made
from  cotton  or  cotton/synthetic blends, while approximately 22%, 30% and 30%,
respectively,  of such sales were of fabrics made from spun synthetics and other

                                        4
<PAGE>
natural  fibers,  including  various  blends of rayon, polyester and wool. Woven
fabrics are generally produced and shipped pursuant to specific purchase orders,
which  minimizes  the  Company's  uncommitted  inventory levels.  The division's
production  of  cotton  and  cotton/synthetic  blend and spun synthetic finished
woven  fabrics  is  largely  vertically integrated, with the division performing
most  of its own spinning, weaving and finishing.  In the production of military
fabrics,  the Company purchases a portion of its greige goods needs and finishes
this  fabric to specifications.  The woven finished fabrics plants are currently
operating  at  less  than  full  capacity.

     The  division  also  produces  a  variety  of unfinished light-weight woven
fabrics  that  are  sold  to  converters  of  finished  products.  Due to import
pressure,  the  unfinished  fabrics  business is being discontinued and is being
replaced with more profitable product lines.  This move away from the unfinished
fabric  production will be substantially complete in the first quarter of fiscal
2000.


     DUCK  HEAD  APPAREL  SEGMENT

     Duck Head produces collections of men's and boy's casual apparel sold under
the  "Duck  Head"  label, including pants, shorts and shirts.  In addition, this
division  sells  a  relatively  small  amount of men's and boy's woven uniforms,
sportswear  and  casualwear  under  the  private  labels  of its customers.  The
division  also  licenses  various  other  categories of apparel and accessories.

     "Duck Head" labeled products are primarily marketed by employed sales staff
to  regional  and  national  retailers.  The  "Duck  Head"  trademark  has  been
associated  with apparel since 1865 and has been historically distributed in the
Southeastern  United  States.  The Company  acquired the brand in February 1989.
The  division  has  over  400  men's  and  200  boy's  Duck  Head shops in major
department  stores.  The  "shop" display format of a large part of the Duck Head
line  utilizes  dedicated  retail  floor  space  in  the  sportswear  department
positioned  with other national brands.  Net sales of  "Duck Head" products were
approximately  $72  million,  $86  million,  and $81 million during fiscal 1999,
1998,  and  1997,  respectively.

     Duck  Head Apparel operates 2 facilities located in Georgia and Costa Rica.
The  division  purchases  the  fabrics  used  in  its  products from a number of
producers.  "Duck  Head"  also  currently  acquires  a substantial amount of its
finished  products  from  other  sourcing  companies throughout the world.  This
outside  production  takes  the  form of sewing fabric parts cut at contractor's
facilities,  cutting  and sewing with fabric and patterns supplied by Duck Head,
or  providing  finished garments made to Duck Head specifications.  The division
maintains  a  staff  of  quality  specialists  who  consistently monitor work in
process at outside companies.  The Company believes that there is ample capacity
among  outside contractors worldwide to meet its future production requirements.
All  of  the  products are warehoused in the division's distribution facility in
Georgia.

     Duck Head labeled apparel items are generally required to be inventoried to
permit  reorder  shipment  and  to level production schedules.  Customer private

                                        5
<PAGE>
label  apparel  items are generally made only to order.  The division's products
are manufactured primarily from 100% cotton.  The division's marketing office is
based  in  Winder,  Georgia  with  a  showroom  in  New York, New York and sales
personnel  located  throughout  the  country.

     The  Duck  Head division has 24 outlet stores located in 9 states that sell
principally closeout and irregular Duck Head products.  These stores also sell a
small amount of apparel and accessory items manufactured by Duck Head licensees.


     DELTA  APPAREL  SEGMENT

     Delta  Apparel  Company, headquartered in Duluth, Georgia, operates a total
of 5 facilities and produces knitted T-shirts, polo-type shirts and sweatshirts.
The  division  markets  its  products  primarily  to companies that screen print
shirts  for  resale  and  to distributors.  Net sales in this division were $106
million,  $106  million  and  $112  million  during fiscal 1999, 1998, and 1997,
respectively.

     The  division's  marketing is performed by employed sales personnel located
throughout  the  country.  Sales  personnel  call  directly on the retail trade,
contacting  department  stores,  distributors, screen printing companies and the
mass  marketers  such  as  discount  houses.  This  operation  also  utilizes
independent  sales  representatives  to sell to distributors and screen printing
companies.  Demand  for  the  division's products is strongest during the spring
and  summer  months.  Most  knit  apparel  items are inventoried to permit quick
shipment  and  to  level production schedules during the months of lower demand.
Special  knit  apparel  items  and  customer  private  label knit apparel styles
generally  are  made  only  to  order.

     The  division  spins  the  majority  of  its  yarn  at the Company's modern
facility  in Edgefield , South Carolina, with the remainder being purchased from
outside  vendors.  The  division  knits,  dyes,  finishes,  and cuts fabric in a
company  owned  plant  in  Maiden, North Carolina and sews garments in a company
owned  plant in Georgia and in leased facilities in Honduras.  The division also
uses  outside  sewing  contractors  when  demand  exceeds  internal  production
capacities.  Fabrics  used  by  the  division  are  primarily  100%  cotton  and
polyester/cotton  blends.


RAW  MATERIALS  FOR  YARN

     The  Company's  principal raw material for yarn is cotton, although it also
spins polyester, wool, linen fiber, acrylic, lyocell, nylon and rayon fibers and
weaves  textured polyester filament.  Polyester is obtained primarily from three
major  suppliers,  all  of  whom  provide  competitive  prices.  For fiscal 1999
polyester  prices  were  at  the lowest prices the Company has paid since fiscal
year 1993. However, management expects that trend to be reversed in fiscal 2000.
The  Company's  average  price  per  pound  of  cotton  purchased  and  consumed
(including  freight,  carrying  cost  and cost for the relatively high amount of
premium  cotton  the  Company uses) was $.770 in fiscal year 1999 as compared to
$.817  in  fiscal  year  1998,  and,  as  compared to $.833 in fiscal year 1997.
Management  expects  the  downward  trend in cotton prices to continue in fiscal
2000.  In  fiscal year 2000, the Company expects to use approximately 97 million

                                        6
<PAGE>
pounds  of  cotton (including approximately 15 million pounds of premium cotton)
and  6  million pounds of polyester in its manufacture of yarn.  The Company has
contracted  to purchase about 61% of its expected cotton requirements for fiscal
year 2000.  The percentage of the Company's cotton requirements that the Company
fixes  each  year  varies depending upon the Company's forecast of future cotton
prices.  The  Company  believes  that  recent  cotton  prices have enabled it to
contract  for  cotton at prices that will permit it to be competitive with other
companies  in  the  United States textile industry when the cotton purchased for
future  use  is  put into production.  To the extent that cotton prices decrease
before  the Company uses these future purchases, the Company could be materially
and  adversely  affected,  as there can be no assurance that it would be able to
pass  along  its higher costs to its customers.  In addition, to the extent that
cotton  prices  increase  and  the Company has not provided for its requirements
with fixed price contracts, the Company may be materially and adversely affected
as there can be no assurance that it would be able to pass along these increased
costs  to  its  customers.


COMPETITION

     The cyclical nature of the textile and apparel industries, characterized by
rapid  shifts  in fashion, consumer demand and competitive pressures, results in
both  price and demand volatility.  The demand for any particular product varies
from time to time based largely upon changes in consumer preferences and general
economic  conditions  affecting  the  textile  and  apparel  industries, such as
consumer expenditures for non-durable goods.  The textile and apparel industries
are  also  cyclical  because  the  supply  of  particular  products  changes  as
competitors  enter  or  leave  the  market.

     Delta  Mills  Marketing  Company  sells  primarily  to  domestic  apparel
manufacturers,  many  of which operate offshore sewing operations.  The division
competes  with  numerous  domestic  and  foreign fabric manufacturers, including
companies  larger  in  size  and  having  greater  financial  resources than the
Company.  The  principal  competitive  factors  in the woven fabrics markets are
price,  service,  delivery  time,  quality  and  flexibility,  with the relative
importance  of  each factor depending upon the needs of particular customers and
the  specific product offering.  Management believes that the division maintains
its ability to compete effectively by providing its customers with a broad array
of  high-quality  fabrics  at  competitive  prices  on  a  timely  basis.

     Delta  Mills  Marketing  Company's  competitive  position varies by product
line.  There  are  several major domestic competitors in the finished cotton and
cotton/polyester  blend  woven  fabrics  business,  none  of which dominates the
market.  The  Company  believes,  however,  that  it  has  a  strong competitive
position  in  the  all  cotton  pants-weight fabrics business.  In addition, the
Company  believes  that  it  is one of only two finishers successful in printing
camouflage  for  sale  to  apparel suppliers of the U.S. Government and the only
supplier  that  is  vertically integrated for camouflage production.  Additional
competitive  strengths  of  the woven fabrics division include: knowledge of its
customers'  business  needs;  its  ability  to  produce  special fabrics such as
textured  blends;  state  of  the  art  spinning,  weaving  and fabric finishing
equipment  at  most of its facilities; substantial vertical integration; and its
ability  to  communicate  electronically  with  its  customers.

                                        7
<PAGE>
     Foreign  competition  is  a  significant factor in the United States fabric
market.  The  Delta  Mills Marketing division believes that its relatively small
manual  labor  component,  highly-automated manufacturing processes and domestic
manufacturing base allow the division to compete on a price basis and to respond
more  quickly  than  foreign  producers  to  changing  fashion trends and to its
domestic customers' delivery schedules.  In addition, the division benefits from
protections  afforded  to  apparel manufacturers based in certain Latin American
and  Caribbean  countries  that  ship  finished garments into the United States.
NAFTA  has  effectively  eliminated  or  substantially  reduced tariffs on goods
imported  from  Mexico if such goods are made from fabric originating in Canada,
Mexico,  or the United States.  Section 807 provides for the duty free treatment
of  United  States  origin components used in the assembly of imported articles.
The  result is that duty is assessed only on the value of any foreign components
that  may  be  present  and  the labor cost incurred offshore in the assembly of
apparel  using  United  States  origin  fabric  components.  Because Section 807
creates  an  incentive  to  use  fabric manufactured in the United States, it is
beneficial  to the division and other domestic producers of apparel fabrics.  In
addition,  pursuant  to  Section 807A, apparel articles assembled in a Caribbean
country,  in  which all fabric components have been wholly formed and cut in the
United  States,  are  subject to preferential quotas with respect to access into
the  United  States  for such qualifying apparel, in addition to the significant
tariff  reduction  pursuant  to  Section  807.  A  similar program, enacted as a
result  of  NAFTA  and  referred to as the Special Regime Program, provides even
greater  benefits  (complete  duty  free,  quota  free  treatment)  for  apparel
assembled  in Mexico from fabric components formed and cut in the United States.
In  contrast,  apparel not meeting the criteria of Section 807, Section 807A, or
the  Special  Regime  Program,  is  subject  to  quotas and/or relatively higher
tariffs.  If  Section  807,  Section  807A  or  the  Special Regime Program were
repealed  or  altered in whole or in part, the Company believes that it could be
at a serious competitive disadvantage relative to textile manufacturers in other
parts of the world seeking to enter the United States market, which would have a
material  adverse  effect  on the division.  Moreover, there can be no assurance
that  the  current  favorable regulatory environment will continue or that other
geographic  areas  will  not  be  afforded  similar  regulatory  advantages.

     Duck  Head  Apparel  Company  competes  with  numerous domestic and foreign
manufacturers  of  branded  and  private label apparel.  Foreign competition has
been  an  increasingly significant factor in the apparel manufacturing industry,
particularly with respect to items that require labor-intensive production, such
as  shirts  and  jackets, and high cost luxury items.  Although domestic apparel
companies must compete to some extent on a price basis with foreign competition,
the  Company's  management  believes  that  domestic  apparel companies can best
compete  by  selling  branded  products, by manufacturing off-shore, by offering
product  flexibility, by responding quickly to changes in consumer demand and by
providing  more  timely deliveries.  The latter characteristics permit retailers
to reduce their inventory cost and lower the risk that product availability will
not  match  consumer  demand.  The  division  is  oriented towards supplying its
customers  with  all  or  some  of  these  competitive  advantages.

     Delta  Apparel  Company  competes  with  a  number  of domestic branded and
private  label  manufacturers  of T-shirts, Fleece products, and Placket shirts.
Many  of these companies are larger in size and have greater financial resources
than the Company.  The division also competes with imported garments to a lesser
extent.  The  division,  along  with  all of its major competition, makes use of

                                        8
<PAGE>
Section  807  and Section 807A  of the tariff code and/or NAFTA  and assembles a
substantial  amount  of  its  garment  production  in  certain Latin American or
Caribbean  countries and Mexico.  If  Section 807 or Section 807A or any similar
program  were  repealed or altered in whole or in part, the division believes it
would  be  at a serious competitive disadvantage relative to textile and apparel
manufacturers  in  the  rest  of  the  world  seeking to enter the United States
market,  which  would  have  a  material  and  adverse  effect  on the division.
Moreover,  there  can  be  no  assurance  that  the current favorable regulatory
environment  will  continue  or that other geographic areas will not be afforded
similar  regulatory  advantages.

EMPLOYEES

     The Company has approximately 5,000 employees.  The Company's employees are
not  represented  by  unions.  The  Company believes that its relations with its
employees  are  good.

ENVIRONMENTAL  AND  REGULATORY  MATTERS

     Delta Woodside is subject to various federal, state and local environmental
laws  and  regulations  concerning,  among  other things, wastewater discharges,
storm  water  flows,  air  emissions,  ozone depletion and solid waste disposal.
Delta  Woodside's plants generate very small quantities of hazardous waste which
are either recycled or disposed of off-site.  Most of its plants are required to
possess  one  or  more  discharge  permits.

     The  information  contained  under  the  subheading "Environmental Matters"
under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
and  Financial  Condition"  incorporated  into  Item  7  of  this  Form  10-K is
incorporated  herein  by  reference.

     Generally,  the  environmental rules applicable to the Company are becoming
increasingly  stringent.  The  Company  incurs capital and other expenditures in
each  year  that  are  aimed  at  achieving  compliance  with current and future
environmental  standards.

     The  Company  does  not  expect that the amount of such expenditures in the
future  will  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on its operations or financial
condition.  There  can  be  no  assurance,
however,  that  future  changes  in  federal,  state,  or  local  regulations,
interpretations  of  existing  regulations or the discovery of currently unknown
problems  or  conditions  will  not require substantial additional expenditures.
Similarly,  the  extent of Delta Woodside's liability, if any, for past failures
to comply with laws, regulations and permits applicable to its operations cannot
be  determined.

     The  Company's  previously  owned  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
hazardous  waste 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  sold in 1990
pursuant  to  the  terms  of  an  order of the United States Bankruptcy Court to
another corporation, the stock of which was subsequently acquired by the Company
in  January  1993.

                                        9
<PAGE>
     At  the  North  Carolina  site, the Selling Corporations is listed as a "de
Minimis" party, and at the South Carolina site, the Selling Corporation has been
listed  as  an  "insolvent"  party and would appear to qualify as a "de Minimis"
party.  The  Company  believes  that  the  Selling  Corporation's  share  of the
liabilities  at  either  of  these sites will be immaterial.  At the Mississippi
site,  the  PRP  group  has  completed  the  surface  removal  action  and  is
investigating  soil  and  groundwater contamination, both at the site and in the
surrounding  area.  The  Company's  latest  information  is  that  the  Selling
Corporation  is ranked eleventh out of a total of over 300 PRPs in contributions
of  material  to  the  site,  and,  based  on  volume,  the  Selling Corporation
contributed  approximately  3%  of  the  site's  material.  To  the  Company's
knowledge,  latest  estimates  of  costs  to  clean  up  the site range up to $4
million.  Trichlomethane,  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  no  assurance  can  be  provided, the Company believes that it is
shielded  from  liability at these three sites by the order of the United States
Bankruptcy  Court  pursuant  to which the Selling Corporation sold its assets to
the  corporation  subsequently  acquired by the Company.  The Company has denied
any responsibility at these three sites, has declined to participate as a member
of the respective PRP groups, and has not provided for any reserves for costs or
liabilities  attributable  to  the  Selling  Corporation.

- -------  ----------

(1)     Lease expires in December 2003 with the right to renew for an additional
        five-year  period.
(2)     Titles  to  these  facilities  and  substantially  all  of the equipment
        located  in  such  facilities  are held by three South Carolina counties
        under  a  fee-in-lieu-of-taxes  arrangement, which  has  the  effect  of
        substantially reducing the  Company's  property taxes in South Carolina.
        Although  the Company can reacquire  such  property  at a nominal price,
        this  would currently cause a significant  increase  in  the  amount  of
        property  taxes  paid  by  the  Company.
(3)     The  Honduras  plant  has a lease that expires in November 2000. The San
        Jose  plant  is  leased  on  a  month-to-month  basis.
(4)     The  "Duck  Head"  Outlet  Stores  operation  leases  24 facilities in 9
        states,  which  leased  space is approximately 75,000 square feet. These
        leases expire at various dates  through 2006.
(5)     The  Rainsford  Plant  is  owned  by  Delta  Mills, Inc., a wholly-owned
        indirect  subsidiary  of  Delta Woodside.  The plant is managed by Delta
        Apparel Company.

     Except  as  noted  above  all  of  the  above facilities are owned by Delta
Woodside  or  one  of  its  subsidiaries,  subject  in  certain cases to various
outstanding  mortgages  and  security  interests.

     Delta Woodside leases corporate offices in Greenville, South Carolina.  The
lease  on  the  corporate  offices  expires September 1, 2003. Sales offices are
leased  in  or  near New York, Chicago, Newport Beach, San Francisco, Dallas and
Los  Angeles  with  leases  expiring  through  December  2004.

     At  the  date of execution of this Form 10-K, the Company believes that its
plants  in  the  Delta  Mills Marketing division are operating at less than full
production  capacity.  Various  factors affect the relative use by the Company's
apparel divisions of their own facilities and outside contractors in the various
apparel  production  phases.  The  Delta Apparel division is currently using the
majority  of  its internal production capacity.  The Duck Head Apparel operation
is  operating  at  approximately  50%  of  its  internal  production  capacity.

     The  Company  believes  that  its  equipment  and  facilities are generally
adequate  to  allow  it  to  remain  competitive with its principal competitors.

     The  Company's  accounts  receivable  and  inventory,  and  certain  other
intangible  property  (including the capital stock of the Company's major United
States  subsidiaries),  secure  the  Company's  credit  facility  or  the credit
facility  of  the  Company's indirect wholly owned subsidiary, Delta Mills, Inc.

Item 3.  LEGAL  PROCEEDINGS
- ------   ------------------

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

Item 4.  SUBMISSION  OF  MATTERS  TO  A  VOTE  OF  SECURITY-HOLDERS

     No  matter  was  submitted  to a vote of security holders during the fourth

on  the  inside front cover of the Company's annual shareholders' report for the
year  ended  July  3,  1999  is  incorporated  herein  by  reference.

     The  following  table shows the issuances by the Company during fiscal 1999
of  its shares of common stock that were not registered under the Securities Act
of  1933,  as amended, and were not previously reported by the Company in a Form
10-Q.

    Date of         Type of         Amount of       Class of        Nature of

          The Company believes that these issuances are exempt from registration
under the Securities Act of 1933 by reason of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act
of  1933  and  as     not  constituting  a  "sale".

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
           RISK
           ----

COMMODITY  RISK  SENSITIVITY
- ----------------------------

     As a part of the Company's business of converting fiber to finished fabric,
the  Company  makes  raw  cotton purchase commitments and then fixes prices with
cotton  merchants who buy from producers and sell to textile manufacturers.  The
Company  may  seek  to fix prices up to 18 months in advance of delivery.  Daily
price  fluctuations  are  minimal,  yet  long-term  trends in price movement can
result  in unfavorable pricing of cotton for the Company.  Before fixing prices,
the  Company  looks  at  supply and demand fundamentals, recent price trends and
other  factors  that affect cotton prices.  The Company also reviews the backlog
of  orders from customers as well as the level of fixed price cotton commitments
in  the industry in general.  At July 3, 1999, a 10% decline in the market price
of  the  cotton  covered  by  the  Company's  fixed price contracts would have a
negative impact of approximately $4.2 million on the value of the contracts.  At
the end of fiscal 1998, a 10% decline in the market price of the Company's fixed
price  contracts  would have had a negative impact of approximately $5.6 million
on  the  value  of  the contracts.  The decline in the potential negative impact
from  1998  to  1999  is  due principally to current cotton commitments being at
significantly lower average prices than in fiscal 1998.  The Company has changed
to the current disclosure format from the format in the fiscal year 1998 10-K in
an  effort  to improve the comparability of its disclosure to other companies in
its  industry.


INTEREST  RATE  SENSITIVITY
- ---------------------------

     The following debt obligations are sensitive  to changes in interest rates:

        $150 million of unsecured  ten  year senior  notes  due 2007  at a fixed
        rate of 9.625%.

        $100  million  of secured five year revolving credit  facility  expiring
        2002 with interest of 6.93% at July 3, 1999. Interest is based on LIBOR.

        $30  million  of  short-term secured revolving credit facility  expiring
        December 2000  with  interest of  7.22%  at  July  3, 1999.  Interest is
        based on LIBOR.

An  interest  rate  change  would  not have an impact on the fixed rate ten year
senior  notes  totaling  $150  million.  An  interest  rate  change would have a
negative  impact  to  the  extent  the  Company increases borrowings against the
revolving  credit  facilities.  The  impact  would  be dependent on the level of
borrowings  incurred.  During  fiscal  years 1999 and 1998, based on the average
principal  balance  outstanding,  a  1%  increase  in  interest rates would have
resulted  in  increased interest expense of approximately $533,000 and $879,000,
respectively.  In  fiscal  year  2000,  as  of  this  date,  the  Company has no
outstanding  borrowings  against  the  revolving  credit  facilities.

NOTES  TO  CONDENSED  FINANCIAL  STATEMENTSDelta  Woodside  Industries,  Inc.
The  accompanying financial statements of Delta Woodside Industries, Inc. should
be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  consolidated financial statements of Delta
Woodside  Industries  and  its  consolidated  subsidiaries.

BASIS  OF  PRESENTATION:  Delta  Woodside  Industries, Inc. is the top parent of
various  wholly-owned  subsidiaries  which are engaged in the manufacture, sale,
and  distribution of textile and apparel products.  Delta Woodside's investments
in  its  wholly  owned  subsidiaries  are  reported in these condensed financial
statements  using  the  equity  method  of  accounting.

LONG  TERM DEBT: A subsidiary of Delta Woodside has unsecured senior notes and a
bank credit facility outstanding.  See Note D of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements  and  "Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
and  Financial  Condition - Liquidity and Sources of Capital".  The senior notes
and  the  credit  facility contain restrictions which, among other things, limit
the  subsidiary  from  paying cash dividends to Delta Woodside.  Generally, with
certain  exceptions, dividends and certain other restricted payments are limited
to  $12.5  million  plus 50% of the cumulative net income of the subsidiary from
the  beginning  of  fiscal  1998.  Additionally,  dividends and other restricted
payments  are  not  permitted  in  any  instance  where such payment would cause
non-compliance  with  any  other  restrictive  covenant.  As  of  July  3,  1999
approximately  $900 thousand was available under the cumulative net income test;
however,  payment  of  any  further  dividend would have caused a violation of a
covenant regarding minimum tangible net worth. As of July 3, 1999, net assets of
the  subsidiary  totaling  approximately  $50  million  were  restricted  from
distribution.

except  that  which  is  the  responsibility of the Association under the Master
Deed.  Tenant agrees to employ a suitable contractor approved by Landlord, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, to perform Tenant's obligations for
maintenance  of the heating, cooling and ventilating units serving the Premises,
including at least annual inspections and cleaning , if necessary, of the system
together  with  such  servicing  as  each  such  inspection  discloses  as being

                                        4
<PAGE>
reasonably  necessary  or  as  shall be reasonably required by Landlord.  Tenant
shall  promptly  repair,  at  its  expense, any damage to the Premises caused by
bringing into the Premises any property for Tenant's use, or by the installation
or  removal  of  such property regardless of fault or by whom such damage may be
caused,  unless caused solely by the affirmative acts of negligence of Landlord,
its  agents  or  employees.  In  the  event  Tenant  fails to make such repairs,
Landlord  may,  at  its option, but need not, make same and Tenant agrees to pay
Landlord  as additional rent the reasonable cost thereof promptly upon demand by
Landlord.  Tenant  shall  not  overload  the  floor  slab,  electric  wiring  or
utilities serving the Premises and shall install at Tenant's sole expense, after
first  obtaining  Landlord's  written  approval,  which  approval  shall  not be
unreasonably  withheld,  any  additional  electric wiring that may reasonably be
required  in  connection  with  Tenant's  apparatus,  equipment  or  fixtures.

     5.3  Liens.     Tenant  hereby indemnifies Landlord against, and shall keep
          -----
the  Premises  and  the  Regime free from liens for any work performed, material
furnished,  or  obligations  incurred  by the Tenant.  Should liens or claims be
filed  against  the  Premises  or  the  Regime  by  reason  of  Tenant's acts or
omissions,  Tenant shall cause same to be discharged by bond or otherwise within
fifteen  (15)  days  after  filing.

     5.4  Signs  and  Displays.     Tenant  shall  not  place or have placed and
          --------------------
maintained  on  or  within  the Premises any sign, awning or advertising visible
from  the  exterior  of  the Premises not first approved in writing by Landlord,
which  approval  shall  not  be  unreasonably withheld.  Landlord shall have the
exclusive right to use the roof and Tenant shall not affix any sign or aerial to
the  roof  of  the  Premises.

                                    SECTION 6
                       DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION OR CONDEMNATION

     6.1  Casualty.     Except as otherwise provided herein, if the Premises are
          --------
damaged  by  fire  or  other  insured  casualty, the damage shall be repaired by
Landlord  or  the  Association to the extent of the insurance proceeds available
therefor and the extent to which the Association is otherwise required to repair
pursuant to the Master Deed.  Tenant shall restore Tenant's improvements thereto
to the extent of the insurance proceeds therefor immediately upon the completion
of  Landlord's  work or simultaneously with such work to the extent practicable.
Until  repairs  to  the  Premises  are completed by the Association or Landlord,
Rentals shall be abated in proportion to the part of the Premises, if any, which
is  unusable  by Tenant in the conduct of its business, but if the damage is due
to  the  fault  or neglect of Tenant or its employees, agents or invitees, there
shall be no abatement of rent.  In the event that the Premises or other portions
of  the  Regime  are damaged to the extent that the Association, pursuant to the
terms  of  the Master Deed, is not obligated to repair or restore the damage and
the  condominium owners do not elect to repair or restore, then this lease shall
be  terminated  as  of  the  date  of  such  damage.

                                        5
<PAGE>
     If  the  Association  and Landlord should elect or be obligated pursuant to
this  Section  6.1  to  repair  or rebuild because of any damage or destruction,
their  obligation  shall  be limited to the basic building and any other work or
improvements which may have been originally performed or installed at Landlord's
or Association's expense.  If the cost of performing Landlord's or Association's
obligation  exceeds the actual proceeds of insurance paid or payable to Landlord
or  the  Association on account of such casualty, together with any contribution
which might be required of the Association or unit owners pursuant to the Master
Deed,  Landlord may terminate this Lease unless Tenant, within fifteen (15) days
after  demand  therefor, deposits with Landlord a sum of money sufficient to pay
the  difference  between  the  cost  of  repair  and  the  proceeds of insurance
available  for  such  purpose.  Provided  that Landlord or the Association shall
fulfill  its  repair obligations, Tenant shall replace all work and improvements
originally  installed or performed by Tenant at its expense to the extent of the
insurance  proceeds  therefor.

     Upon  the  termination  of  this  Lease  pursuant to the provisions of this
Section  6.1,  the parties shall be released thereby without further obligations
to  the  other party coincident with the surrender of possession of the Premises
to Landlord, except for items which have theretofore accrued and be then unpaid.
In  the  event  of such termination, all of Tenant's insurance proceeds covering
Tenant's  leasehold  improvements  in  excess  of  the  book  value  (net  of
amortization)  to  Tenant of such improvements, but excluding proceeds for trade
fixtures, merchandise, signs and other personal property, shall be disbursed and
paid  to  Landlord.  Any  security  deposit  paid by Tenant shall be refunded to
Tenant.

     6.2  Condemnation.     If  the whole of the Premises, or so much thereof as
         -------------
to  render the balance unusable by Tenant, shall be taken under power of eminent
domain, or otherwise transferred in lieu thereof, or if so much of the Regime is
taken  that  the  Regime  is  not  restored, then this Lease shall automatically
terminate  as  of  the date possession is taken by the condemning authority.  In
the  event  of a total or partial taking, Landlord agrees to pay to Tenant, from
the  award  allocable  to  the  Premises,  a sum equal to the book value (net of
depreciation) of Tenant's improvements which are taken or rendered unusable.  In
addition,  in  the  event  of a total taking, there shall be subtracted from the
award  allocable  to  the Premises (a) all indebtedness of Landlord allocable to
the Premises and (b) the book value of the Tenant's improvements.  The remaining
balance,  if  any,  shall  be  divided  between  Landlord  and  Tenant  as their
respective  interests would have appeared prior to any deduction from the award.
Except  for  payment  of the book value of improvements referred to above, there
shall be no apportionment in the event of a partial taking which does not result
in termination of this lease but Rent shall be apportioned according to the part
of  the  Premises  remaining  usable  by  Tenant.

                                    UTILITIES

     7.1  Payment.     Tenant  shall  promptly pay all charges for utilities and
          -------
other  services  furnished to the Premises whether by Landlord or the applicable
utility  Company.  Landlord  shall  not  be  liable  for  any  interruptions  or
curtailment in utility services due to causes beyond the control of Landlord or,
unless  avoidable  by  the  exercise of due care by Landlord, due to alteration,
repair  or  improvement  of  the  Premises  or  the  Regime.

     7.2  Utilities.     Landlord  and  the  Association shall have the right to
          ---------
run  utility  lines,  pipes,  roof  drainage  pipes,  conduit, wire, ductwork or
sprinkler  systems  where  necessary, through, in or beneath the Premises and to
maintain  the same in a manner which does not unduly interfere with Tenant's use
thereof.

                                    SECTION 8
                                 INDEMNIFICATION

     Tenant  hereby  agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any and
all  claims,  damages, liabilities or expenses (not covered by insurance payable
to  Landlord) arising out of (a) Tenant's use of the Premises or the Common Area
of  the Regime, (b) any and all claims arising from any breach or default in the
performance  of  any  obligation  hereunder  of Tenant, (c) any act, omission or
negligence of Tenant, its agents or employees.  Tenant further releases Landlord
and  the  Association  from liability for any damages sustained by Tenant or any
other  person  claiming  by,  through  or  under Tenant due to the Premises, the
Common  Area,  or  any part thereof or any appurtenances thereto becoming out of
repair,  or  due  to the happening of any accident, including but not limited to
any  damage  caused  by  water, snow, windstorm, tornado, gas, steam, electrical
wiring,  sprinkler  system, plumbing, heating and air conditioning apparatus and
from any acts or omissions of owners or other tenants within the Regime, except,
in  all  cases,  to  the  extent  such  damages  are  caused  by  Landlord's  or
Association's  negligence.  Landlord  shall  not  be liable for any damage to or
loss  of  Tenant's  personal property, inventory, fixtures or improvements, from
any  cause  whatsoever  except  the negligence of Landlord, and then only to the
extent  not  covered  by  insurance  to be obtained by Tenant in accordance with
Section  10 hereof.  Except for matters released by Tenant hereinabove, Landlord
agrees  to  indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from any and all claims, damages,
liabilities  or  expenses, not covered by insurance, arising from any default by
Landlord  under  this  lease  or from the portion of any claim against Tenant by
third  parties  resulting  from  the  negligence  of  Landlord.

                                    SECTION 9
                                    INSURANCE

     Tenant  shall  maintain  at its sole expense during the term hereof, public
liability  insurance  covering  the  Premises  in an amount of $1,000,000.00 for
injury  or  death to any one person and $3,000,000.00 for injury and/or death to
any  number  of  persons in any one accident and property damage insurance in an
amount  of $1,000,000.00 in companies reasonably satisfactory to Landlord in the

                                        7
<PAGE>
joint  names  of  Landlord and Tenant.  Tenant shall also keep in force fire and
extended  coverage  insurance  for  the  full  replacement  value  of  Tenant's
improvements  and  Tenant's property located in the Premises, including personal
property.  If  available  at  reasonable  cost, Tenant will cause such insurance
policies  to  name  Landlord as an additional insured and to be written so as to
provide  that  the  insurer  waives  all right of recovery by way of subrogation
against  Landlord  in  connection with any loss or damage covered by the policy.
In  addition,  Tenant  shall  keep  in  force  workman's compensation or similar
insurance  to the extent required by law.  Tenant shall deliver said policies or
certificates thereof to Landlord within ten (10) days of the commencement of the
term.  Should  Tenant  fail  to effect the insurance called for herein, Landlord
may,  at its sole option, procure said insurance and pay the requisite premiums,
in which event, Tenant shall pay all sums so expended to Landlord, as additional
rent  following  invoice.  To  the  extent  such  endorsement  is  obtainable at
reasonable  cost, each insurer under the policies required hereunder shall agree
by endorsement on the policy issued by it or by independent instrument furnished
to  Landlord  that  it will give Landlord fifteen (15) days prior written notice
before  the  policy  or  policies  in  question  shall  be  altered or canceled.
Landlord  agrees to use its best efforts to see that all insurance to be carried
by  the  Association  pursuant  to the Master Deed is continually maintained and
that  such  insurance provides that the insurer waives all rights of recovery by
way  of  subrogation  against  Tenant.

                                   SECTION 10
                              REMEDIES OF LANDLORD

     10.1  Default.     In  the  event  that  Tenant (a) fails to pay all or any
           -------
portion  of  any sum due from Tenant hereunder or pursuant to any exhibit hereto
within  five  (5)  days  following  notice,  (b)  fails  to cease al all conduct
prohibited  hereby immediately upon receipt of written notice from Landlord, (c)
fails  to  take actions in accordance with the provisions of written notice from
Landlord  to  remedy Tenant's failure to perform any of the terms, covenants and
conditions  hereof; (d) commits an act in violation of this Lease which Landlord
has  previously notified Tenant to cease more than once in any year; (e) becomes
bankrupt,  insolvent  or  files  any  debtor  proceeding,  makes any petition of
bankruptcy;  takes action for the appointment of a receiver for all or a portion
of Tenant's assets, files a petition for a corporate reorganization by reason of
insolvency;  or  makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors (any or all of
the  occurrences  in  this  said  Section  10.1 (f) shall be deemed a default on
account  of  bankruptcy  for  the purposes hereof and such default on account of
bankruptcy  shall  apply to and include any Guarantor of this Lease; (f) commits
waste  to  the  Premises;  or (g) is otherwise in breach of Tenant's obligations
hereunder  and  shall not have cured same within ten (10) days following written
notice  from  Landlord;  then  Tenant shall be in default hereunder and Landlord
may,  at  its  option  and  without further notice to Tenant, terminate Tenant's
right  to possession of the Premises and without terminating this Lease re-enter
and  resume possession of the Premises and/or declare this Lease terminated, and
may thereupon in either event remove all persons and property from the Premises,
with  or  without  resort to process of any court, either by force or otherwise.
Provided,  however,  that  with respect to any non-monetary default mentioned in
Items  10.1(c) - (g) herein the period for curing such default shall be extended

                                        8
<PAGE>
to  thirty  (30)  days  provided  Tenant  is diligently attempting to cure same.
Notwithstanding  such  re-entry by Landlord, Tenant hereby indemnifies and holds
Landlord  harmless  from  any  and  all loss or damage which Tenant may incur by
reason  of  the  termination  of  this Lease and/or Tenant's right to possession
hereunder  pursuant  to  this  Section  10.1.  In  no  event  shall  Landlord's
termination  of  this  Lease and/or Tenant's right to possession of the Premises
abrogate Tenant's agreement to pay rent and additional charges due hereunder for
the  full  term  hereof.  Following re-entry of the Premises by Landlord, Tenant
shall  continue  to  pay all such rent and additional charges as same become due
under  the  terms  of  this  Lease,  together with all other reasonable expenses
incurred  by  Landlord  in  regaining  possession  until  such  time, if any, as
Landlord relates same and the Premises are occupied by such successor.  Landlord
agrees  to  use  reasonable efforts to relet the premises.  Upon reletting, sums
received  from  such new lessee by Landlord shall be applied first to payment of
reasonable  costs incident to reletting; any excess shall then be applied to any
indebtedness to Landlord from Tenant other than for Minimum Rent; and any excess
shall  then be applied against the deficiency between all amounts to be received
hereunder  and  sums  received by Landlord on reletting, which deficiency Tenant
shall  pay  to  Landlord  in  full,  within five (5) days of notice of same from
Landlord.  Tenant  shall  have no right to any proceeds of reletting that remain
following  application  of  same  in  the  manner  set  forth  herein.

     10.2  Cumulative  Remedies.     The  various  rights  and  remedies  herein
           --------------------
granted  to  Landlord shall be cumulative and in addition to any others Landlord
may  be  entitled to by law or in equity, and the exercise of one or more rights
or  remedies  shall  not  impair Landlord's right to exercise any other right or
remedy.  In  all  events, Landlord shall have the right upon notice to Tenant to
cure  any  breach  by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense, and Tenant shall
reimburse  Landlord  for  such  expense  upon  demand.

     10.3  Bankruptcy.   If  Landlord  shall  not be permitted to terminate this
          -----------
Lease  as  hereinabove  provided  because  of  the provisions of Title 11 of the
United  States Code relating to Bankruptcy, as amended ("Bankruptcy Code"), then
Tenant  as  a  debtor  in  possession of any trustee for Tenant agrees promptly,
within no more than fifteen (15) days upon request by Landlord to the Bankruptcy
Court,  to  assume  or  reject this Lease and Tenant on behalf of itself and any
trustee  agrees  not  to  seek  or  request  any extension or adjournment of any
application to assume or reject this Lease by Landlord with such Court.  In such
event,  Tenant  or  any trustee for Tenant may only assume this Lease if (A)  it
cures  or  provides  adequate assurance that the trustees will promptly cure any
default  hereunder,  (B)  compensates or provides adequate assurance that Tenant
will  promptly  compensate  Landlord  for  any actual pecuniary loss to Landlord
resulting  from  Tenant's  defaults,  and  (C)  provides  adequate  assurance of
performance  during the fully stated term hereof of all of the terms, covenants,

                                        9
<PAGE>
and  provisions  of this Lease to be performed by Tenant.  In no event after the
assumption  of  this  Lease shall any then-existing default remain uncured for a
period  in  excess  of the earlier of ten (10) days or the time period set forth
herein.  Adequate  assurance  of  performance  of  this  Lease  as  set  forth
hereinabove  shall  include,  without  limitation, adequate assurance (1) of the
source of rent provided for hereunder, and (2) the assumption of this Lease will
not  breach  any  provision  hereunder.  In  the event of a filing of a petition
under  the Bankruptcy Code, Landlord shall have not obligation to provide Tenant
with  any services or utilities as herein required, unless Tenant shall have aid
and  be  current  in all payments of Operating Costs, utilities or other charges
therefor.

                                   SECTION 11
                      TRANSFERS, ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

     11.1  Assignment  and  Subletting.     Tenant shall not, either voluntarily
           ---------------------------
or  by  operation  of  law, sell, assign, hypothecate or otherwise transfer this
Lease,  or  sublet  the  Premises  or  any  part  thereof  (all of the foregoing
collectively  referred  to  as  a  "Transfer"),  except that Tenant may, without
violating  this  Lease, do any of the following:  (a) merge or consolidate with,
or  transfer  all  or  substantially  all  of its assets to, another corporation
incorporated  in  any  state  of  the United States or the District of Columbia,
provided  that the resulting or transferee corporation shall have a net worth of
not  less than $10,000,000.00 and further provided that such corporation assumes
all the obligations of Tenant hereunder, in which event Tenant shall be relieved
of its obligations hereunder, or (b) sublease all or any part of the Premises to
any  other  person(s) or entity(ies).  Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree
that  the  foregoing  restriction on Transfers has been freely negotiated by the
parties  hereto and that Landlord would not have entered into this Lease without
Tenant's  consent  to the terms of this Section 11.2.  Any attempted Transfer in
violation  hereof  shall  be  void  ab  initio and, except as otherwise provided
herein,  Tenant  shall  remain  primarily  liable  on this Lease and shall not e
released  from  performing  any  of  the terms, covenants and conditions of this
Lease.  The  acceptance  by  Landlord  or  payments  of  Rent or additional rent
following  any  assignment  or  transfer prohibited by this Section shall not be
deemed to be a consent by Landlord to any such assignment or other transfer, nor
shall  the  same  be  deemed  to  be a waiver of any right or remedy of Landlord
hereunder.

                                   SECTION 12
                        SUCCESSION TO LANDLORD'S INTEREST

     12.1  Attornment.     Tenant shall attorn and be bound to any of Landlord's
           ----------
successors  under  all the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease for the
balance  of  the  remaining  term.

                                       10
<PAGE>
     12.2  Subordination.     This Lease shall be subordinate to the lien of any
           -------------
mortgage  or  security  deed  or  the  lien  resulting  from any other method of
financing  or  refinancing  now  or hereafter in force against the Premises, any
portion  thereof,  and  to any and all advances to be made under such mortgages,
and  all  renewals,  modifications,  extensions, consolidations and replacements
thereof.  The  aforesaid  provisions  shall  be  self-operative  and  no further
instrument  of  subordination  shall be required to evidence such subordination.
Tenant  covenants  and  agrees to execute and deliver, upon demand, such further
instrument or instruments subordinating this Lease on the foregoing basis to the
lien  of  any such mortgage or mortgages as shall be desired by Landlord and any
mortgages  or  proposed  mortgages, and hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord the
attorney-in-fact of Tenant to execute and deliver such instrument or instruments
within ten (10) days after written notice to do so.  Provided, however, that the
subordination  described  in  this  Section  12.2 shall be effective only in the
event  that  the  Mortgagee  of  lien holder shall have agreed in writing not to
disturb  the  peaceful possession of the Premises by Tenant and to recognize the
Tenant's rights under this lease so long as Tenant is not in default thereunder.

     12.3  Mortgagee's  Approval.     If  any mortgagee of the Premises requires
           ---------------------
any  modification  of  the  terms and provisions of this Lease as a condition to
such  financing  as  Landlord  may desire, then Landlord shall have the right to
cancel  this  Lease  if  Tenant  fails  or  refuses  to approve and execute such
modification(s)  within  thirty  (30)  days  after  Landlord's request therefor,
provided  said  request  is  made  prior  to  the  Commencement Date.  Upon such
cancellation  by  Landlord,  this Lease shall be null and void and neither party
shall  have any liability either for damages or otherwise to the other by reason
of  such cancellation.  In no event, however, shall Tenant be required to agree,
and  Landlord  shall  not have any right of cancellation for Tenant's refusal to
agree,  to  any  modification  of the provisions of this Lease relating to:  the
amount of rent or other charges reserved herein; the size and/or location of the
Premises; the duration and/or Commencement Date of the term; or the construction
of  the improvements to be made by Landlord to the Premises prior to delivery of
possession.

                                   SECTION 13
                              SURRENDER OF PREMISES

     At  the  expiration  or  earlier  termination  of  this Lease, Tenant shall
surrender the Premises to Landlord broom clean and in the same condition as when
tendered  by  Landlord,  reasonable wear and tear and insured casualty excepted,
subject  to  Section  6  hereof.  Tenant shall promptly repair any damage to the
Premises  caused  by  the  removal  of  any  furniture,  trade fixtures or other
personal  property  placed  in  the  Premises.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

     14.1  Attorney's  Fees.     In  the  event  that  it  shall  be  reasonably
          -----------------
necessary  for  any  party to engage attorneys for the enforcement of any of the
terms  of  this lease the defaulting party shall pay to the non-defaulting party
all  costs  reasonably  incurred  in  connection  therewith including reasonable
attorneys  fees.

     14.2  Late  Charges.     All  sums not paid when due shall bear interest at
          --------------
the highest legal rate not to exceed eighteen percent (18%) per annum calculated
from  said  due  date.

     14.3  Accord  and  Satisfaction.     No  payment  by  Tenant  or receipt by
           -------------------------
Landlord  of  a lesser amount than the charges herein stipulated shall be deemed
to  be  other  than on account of the earliest stipulated charges, nor shall any
endorsement  or  statement  on  any  check  or  letter accompanying any check or
payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check
or  payment  without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of any
amounts  due  hereunder  or  to  pursue  any  other  remedy  provided  herein.

     14.4  Time  of  Essence.     TIME  IS  OF  THE  ESSENCE  OF  THIS  LEASE.
           -----------------

     14.5  Holding  Over.     Should  Tenant,  with  Landlord's written consent,
          --------------
hold  over  at the end of the term, Tenant shall become a Tenant at will and any
such  holding  over shall not constitute an extension of this Lease. During such
holding  over,  Tenant  shall  pay rent and other charges at the highest monthly
rate  provided  for herein.  If Tenant holds over at the end of the term without
Landlord's  written  consent, Tenant shall pay Landlord as liquidated damages, a
sum  equal  to  twice  the  rent which would be paid under the prior sentence by
Tenant  to  Landlord  for  all the time Tenant shall so retain possession of the
Premises;  provided  that  the  exercise  of Landlord's rights under this clause
shall  not  be  interpreted  as  a  grant of permission to Tenant to continue in
possession.

     14.6  Severability.     In  the  event  any  provision of this Lease to any
           ------------
extent  be  invalid  or  unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease shall not be
affected  thereby,  and  the  Lease  and  its  provisions  shall  be  valid  and
enforceable  to  the  full  extent  permitted  by  law.

     14.7  Brokers.     Tenant  indemnifies  Landlord  against  any  claims  for
           -------
brokerage  commissions  agreed  to  by  Tenant  in  connection  herewith.

     14.8  Waiver.     No  waiver  by  Landlord  of  any provision of this Lease
           ------
shall  be  deemed  to  be  a  waiver  of  any  other  provision hereof or of any
subsequent  breach  by  Tenant  of the same provision.  Landlord's consent to or
approval  of  any  act  by  Tenant shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the
obtaining  of  Landlord's  consent  to  or  approval  of any subsequent act.  No

                                  KEY MANAGERS

                 AMENDED AND RESTATED EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 1998


                                    PREAMBLE

The  Participating  Companies  have established this Plan to contribute to their
long-range  growth. It is the intention of the parties that the Plan be unfunded
for  tax  purposes  and for purposes of Title I of ERISA. Except as specifically
set forth in Section 10.5 below with respect to Delta Woodside Industries, Inc.,
a  Participating  Company  shall  be  liable  only  with  respect to obligations
incurred  pursuant  to this Plan for its own Employees; no Participating Company
shall  be  liable  with  respect  to  benefits  due  an  Employee  of  any other
Participating  Company.  Under  the  Plan, each year, each Participating Company
awards  a  select group of its key Employees with deferred benefits based on the
Employee's  Elective  and  Deemed  Deferrals  for  the  year.  Such benefits are
normally  payable  by  that  Participating  Company  to  its  Employees or their
beneficiaries  upon  Retirement,  Disability,  death,  or  other  Termination of
Service. By providing key Employees and their families with additional financial
security,  the Plan enables the Participating Companies to attract and to retain
superior key personnel and provides an additional incentive to such Employees to
continue  to  make  that  company  prosperous.

2.4  LIMITATIONS ON ELECTIVE DEFERRALS. The maximum amount of Elective Deferrals
a  Participant  may  make for a Plan Year shall be One Hundred percent (100%) of

Committee  for  such  purpose  whether  the  benefits  pursuant to such Deferral
Election  are to be paid in a single sum or installments, as provided in SECTION
5.1(A).  If  a  Participant  fails  to make such method-of-payment election, the
Participant  shall  be  deemed  to  have  elected  installment  payments.


                      ARTICLE III. ACCOUNTS OF PARTICIPANTS

3.1  ACCOUNTS.  The  Committee  shall  establish  and cause to be maintained two
separate  accounts  for  each  Participant  to  be  known  respectively  as  the
Participant's  "LUMP  SUM  ACCOUNT"  and  "INSTALLMENT  ACCOUNT".

3.2  ACCOUNTING  OF  LUMP SUM ACCOUNT. As of each Adjustment Date, the Committee

     (e) ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. The Committee, in the exercise of its sole and
absolute  discretion,  shall  determine  the  amount  of  the  expenses  each

paid  in  installments,  then there shall be credited the Participant's Elective
Deferrals  made  pursuant to such Deferral Election for the "current Plan Year."

expenses  as  the Committee determines, in the exercise of its sole and absolute
discretion,  to  be  equitable.


                               ARTICLE IV. VESTING

Participants  are  always  One  Hundred  percent (100%) vested in the portion of
their  Deferral  Accounts  attributable  to Elective Deferrals. Each Participant
shall vest in that portion of the Participant's Deferral Account attributable to
Deemed  Deferrals  (the  "DEEMED  DEFERRAL  BENEFIT")  at  the  same rate as the
Participant  vests  in  the  Participant's  account balance in the Savings Plan,
except  that  upon, and at all times following, a Trigger Event, Participants of
the  Participating  Company  which  has incurred such Trigger Event shall be One
Hundred  percent  (100%)  vested  in  their Deemed Deferral Benefits. If as of a
Participant's  Termination of Service the Participant is not fully vested in the
Participant's  account in the Savings Plan and a Trigger Event has not occurred,
then  the  Participant  shall forfeit the percentage of the Participant's Deemed
Deferral  Benefit  equal to the percentage of the account in the Savings Plan in
which  the  Participant  is  not  vested  as  of  such  Termination  of Service.


                               ARTICLE V. BENEFITS

5.1  METHOD  AND  TIMING.

     (A)  RETIREMENT,  DISABILITY  OR  DEATH.

          (i)  LUMP  SUM PAYMENT. On the January 1st following the Participant's
Retirement  or  Termination  of  Service  on account of Disability or death, the
Participating  Company  which is the employer of such Participant shall pay in a
single  sum to the Participant or the Participant's Beneficiary, as the case may
be,  an amount equal to the vested amount credited to the Participant's Lump Sum
Account  adjusted  in accordance with SECTION 3.1 as of the last Adjustment Date
preceding  such  payment.

          (ii)  INSTALLMENTS.  After the Participant's Retirement or Termination
of Service on account of Disability or death, the Participating Company which is
the  employer  of  such  Participant  shall  pay in 120 monthly installments the
vested  amount  credited to the Participant's Installment Account. Payment shall
commence  on  the  first January 1st following such Retirement or Termination of

<PAGE>
Service,  and shall continue on the first day of each month thereafter until 120
monthly  payments have been made. The amount of each monthly installment payable
during a Plan Year shall equal the quotient obtained by DIVIDING (1) the balance
credited to the Participant's Installment Account as of the Adjustment Date next
preceding  the  Plan Year BY (2) the number of installments remaining as of such
Adjustment  Date.  As provided by and in accordance with ARTICLE III, during the
period  of  payment  of  such installments the Participant's Installment Account
shall  continue  to  be  credited  with  its  Interest  Equivalent.

          (iii) DISCRETIONARY PAYMENT UPON DEATH. Notwithstanding the provisions
of  SECTIONS  5.1(A)(I)  and  (II)  above,  upon  a  Participant's  death,  the
Participating  Company  which  is  the  employer of such Participant may, in the
exercise  of  its  absolute  and  sole  discretion,  pay  in a single sum to the
Participant's  Beneficiary  an amount equal to the vested amount credited to the
Participant's  Lump  Sum  Account and Installment Account adjusted in accordance
with  SECTION  3.1  as  of the Adjustment Date next preceding such payment. Such
lump  sum  payment shall discharge the Participating Company's obligation to pay
benefits  under  this  Plan  to  such  Beneficiary.

     (b)  OTHER  TERMINATION  OF SERVICE. On the first January 1st following the
Participant's  Termination  of  Service  other  than  on  account of Retirement,
Disability  or  death,  the  Participating Company which is the employer of such
Participant  shall  pay  in a single sum to the Participant or the Participant's
Beneficiary,  as  the case may be, an amount equal to the vested amount credited
to the Participant's Lump Sum Deferral Account and Installment Deferral Account,
both  adjusted  in  accordance  with  ARTICLE III as of the last Adjustment Date
preceding  such  January  1st.

     (c) TRIGGER EVENT. Upon the happening of a Trigger Event, the Participating
Company  which  is  subject  to such Trigger Event shall immediately pay to each
Participant  which  is its Employee, in a single sum, the amount credited to the
Participant's Deferral Account adjusted in accordance with ARTICLE III as of the
date  of  the  Trigger  Event.

5.2  PAYMENTS  TO  BENEFICIARY.  In  the  event a Participant dies prior to full
payment  of  the  Participant's  Deferral  Account  under  this  ARTICLE  V, all
remaining  payments  due  hereunder  shall  be  made  to  such  Participant's
Beneficiary;  provided,  however, if the Committee so directs in the exercise of
its  sole  discretion,  the Participating Company shall pay the remainder of the

<PAGE>
Deferral  Account  in  one single sum. In the event the Beneficiary survives the
Participant  but dies prior to full payment of benefits hereunder, all remaining
payments  shall  be  made  to  the  Beneficiary's  estate.

5.3  WITHHOLDING  TAXES;  EMPLOYMENT TAXES. Any amounts paid to a Participant or
Beneficiary  shall  be  reduced  by  the  amount  of taxes required by law to be
withheld.  The  Participating  Company  which is the employer of the Participant
shall  timely  furnish  the Participant and Beneficiary with the appropriate tax
information  form  evidencing  such  payment  and  the  amount  thereof.  Each
Participating  Company  shall  be solely responsible for paying employment taxes
(e.g.,  FICA,  FUTA,  state  unemployment),  if any, attributable to payments to
Participants  and  Beneficiaries  which  are  its  Employees.

5.4  PAYMENTS  TO  RELIEVE  FINANCIAL HARDSHIP. Notwithstanding any provision in
this  Plan  to  the  contrary,  the  Committee  in  the exercise of its sole and
absolute discretion shall have the power and authority to direct a Participating
Company  to pay to a Participant or the Participant's Beneficiary such amount as
is  necessary to enable the Participant or Beneficiary to relieve or mitigate an
"unforeseeable  emergency".  For  purposes  of  the foregoing, an "UNFORESEEABLE
EMERGENCY"  shall have the meaning set forth in Internal Revenue Code Regulation
1.457-2(h)(4)  and  (5)  and  shall  include  a severe financial hardship to the
Participant  or  Beneficiary  resulting  from a sudden and unexpected illness or
accident of the Participant or Beneficiary or of a dependent (as defined in Code
152(a))  of  the  Participant  or  Beneficiary,  loss  of  the  Participant's or
Beneficiary's  property  due  to  casualty,  or  other similar extraordinary and
unforeseeable  circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of
the  Participant  or  Beneficiary.  The  circumstances  that  will constitute an
"unforeseeable  emergency"  will depend upon the facts of each case, but, in any
case,  payment  may  not  be  made to the extent that such hardship is or may be
relieved  --

     (a)  through  reimbursement  or  compensation  by  insurance  or otherwise;

     (b)  by  liquidation  of  the Participant's or Beneficiary's assets, to the
extent  the  liquidation  of such assets would not itself cause severe financial
hardship;  or

     (c)  by  cessation  of  deferrals  under  this  Plan.

<PAGE>
College  tuition  or  the  costs  of  purchasing  a  home  are  not  considered
"unforeseeable emergencies." Withdrawals of amounts because of an "unforeseeable
emergency" will only be permitted to the extent reasonably needed to satisfy the
emergency  need.  The  amount  of  any  such  payment  shall  be  debited to the
Participant's  Lump  Sum  Account  and  Installment Account in such order as the
Committee  elects  and  shall  not  exceed  the  amount credited to the Deferral
Account  determined  as  of  the Adjustment Date next following such payment and
without  regard  to  such  payment.


                    ARTICLE VI. DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARIES

6.1  BENEFICIARY  DESIGNATION. Every Participant shall file with the Committee a
written  designation  of  one  or  more  persons as the Beneficiary who shall be
entitled to receive the amount, if any, payable under the Plan upon his death. A
Participant  may  from time to time revoke or change his Beneficiary designation
without  the  consent  of any prior Beneficiary by filing a new designation with
the  Committee.  The  last  such  designation received by the Committee shall be
controlling;  provided,  however,  that  no designation, or change or revocation
thereof,  shall  be  effective  unless  received  by  the Committee prior to the
Participant's death, and in no event shall it be effective as of a date prior to
such receipt. All decisions of the Committee concerning the effectiveness of any
Beneficiary designation and the identity of any Beneficiary shall be final. If a
Beneficiary  shall die after the death of the Participant and prior to receiving
the  distribution  that  would  have  been  made  to  such  Beneficiary had such
Beneficiary's  death  not  occurred,  and  no  alternate  Beneficiary  has  been
designated,  then  for the purposes of the Plan the distribution that would have
been  received  by  such  Beneficiary shall be made to the Beneficiary's estate.

6.2  FAILURE TO DESIGNATE BENEFICIARY. Subject to SECTION 6.1, if no Beneficiary
designation  is  in  effect at the time of a Participant's death, the payment of
the  amount,  if any, payable under the Plan upon his death shall be made to the
Participant's  surviving  spouse, if any, or if the Participant has no surviving
spouse,  to  the  Participant's  estate.  If the Committee is in doubt as to the
right  of  any  person  to  receive  such  amount,  the Committee may direct the
Participating  Company  to  withhold  payment without liability for any interest
thereon,  until  the  rights thereto are determined, or the Committee may direct
the  Participating  Company to pay any such amount into any court of appropriate
jurisdiction, and such payment shall be a complete discharge of the liability of
the  Participating  Company  therefor.

<PAGE>
                             ARTICLE VII. COMMITTEE

7.1  AUTHORITY.  The  Committee  shall be responsible for the administration and
interpretation  of  the Plan, shall act as the Plan Administrator and shall have
all  powers necessary to enable it to carry out its duties in the administration
and  interpretation of the Plan, and shall have the duty and power to determine,
in  the  exercise  of  its  sole and absolute discretion, all questions that may
arise hereunder as to the status and rights of Participants and Beneficiaries in
the  Plan  and  as  to  the  right  of  any  individual  to  a  benefit.

 7.2  VOTING.  The  Committee  shall  act  by  a  majority  of  the  number then
constituting  the  Committee,  and  such action may be taken either by vote at a
meeting  or  in  writing  without  a  meeting.

 7.3  RECORDS. The Committee shall keep a complete record of all its proceedings
and  all  data  relating  to the administration of the Plan. The Committee shall
make such rules and regulations for the conduct of its business as it shall deem
advisable.

7.4  LIABILITY.  No  member  of the Committee shall be personally liable for any
actions taken or omitted by the Committee unless the member's action or inaction
involves  willful  misconduct.  To  the extent permitted by applicable law, each
Participating  Company  shall  indemnify  and  hold  harmless each member of the
Committee  and each employee of the Participating Company acting pursuant to the
direction  of  the  Committee  from  and  against any and all liability, claims,
demands,  costs  and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out
of  or  incident  to  any  act  or  failure  to  act  in  connection  with  the
administration  of  the  Plan,  except  for  any such act or failure to act that
involves  willful  misconduct.


7.5  MINISTERIAL DUTIES. The Committee may appoint one of its members to perform
such  ministerial  duties  as  the  Committee  delegates.


                     ARTICLE VIII. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

Each  Participating  Company  reserves  the  right, at any time and from time to
time,  by  action  of  its  Board to amend or terminate the Plan with respect to
itself and the Participants employed by it; provided, however, no such amendment
<PAGE>
or  termination  shall  either  (a)  reduce  the amount of any Deferral Account,
determined  as  of  the  Adjustment  Date  coincident with or next preceding the
amendment  or  termination,  or  (b)  defer  payment  of  such Deferral Account.


                          ARTICLE IX. CLAIMS PROCEDURE

The  following  claims  procedure  shall  apply  with  respect  to  the  Plan:
9.1  FILING  OF  A  CLAIM  FOR  BENEFITS.  If  a Participant or Beneficiary (the
"CLAIMANT")  believes  that  he is entitled to benefits under the Plan which are
not  being  paid  to  him,  he shall file a written claim therefor with the Plan
Administrator.  In  the  event  a  member of the Plan Administrator shall be the
claimant,  all  actions which are required to be taken by the Plan Administrator
pursuant  to  this ARTICLE IX shall be taken instead by the remaining members of
the  Plan  Administrator.

9.2  NOTIFICATION  TO CLAIMANT OF DECISION. The following provisions are part of
this  Plan  and  are  intended  to meet the requirements of Part 5 of Title I of
ERISA.  Within  90  days  after receipt of a claim by the Plan Administrator (or
within 180 days if special circumstances require an extension of time), the Plan
Administrator  shall  notify  the  claimant  of  his decision with regard to the
claim.  In  the  event  of  such special circumstances requiring an extension of
time,  there  shall  be  furnished  to  the  claimant prior to expiration of the
initial  90-day  period  written notice of the extension, which notice shall set
forth  the  special  circumstances  and  the date by which the decision shall be
furnished.  If  such  claim  shall be wholly or partially denied, notice thereof
shall  be  in  writing and worded in a manner calculated to be understood by the
claimant,  and  shall  set  forth:  (a)  the  specific reason or reasons for the
denial;  (b) specific reference to pertinent provisions of the Plan on which the
denial  is  based;  (c)  a description of any additional material or information
necessary  for  the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such
material  or  information  is necessary; and (d) an explanation of the procedure
for review of the denial. If the Plan Administrator fails to notify the claimant
of  the  decision  in  timely manner, the claim shall be deemed denied as of the
close  of  the  initial  90-day period (or the close of the extension period, if
applicable).

9.3  PROCEDURE  FOR  REVIEW. Within 60 days following receipt by the claimant of
notice  denying  his  claim  in whole or in part or, if such notice shall not be
given,  within 60 days following the latest date on which such notice could have
been  timely  given,  the  claimant shall appeal denial of the claim by filing a
written  application  for  review  with  the  Plan Administrator. Following such

<PAGE>
request  for  review,  the  Plan Administrator shall fully and fairly review the
decision denying the claim. Prior to the decision of the Plan Administrator, the
claimant  shall  be  given  an  opportunity to review pertinent documents and to
submit  issues  and  comments  in  writing.

9.4  DECISION ON REVIEW. The decision on review of a claim denied in whole or in
part  by  the  Plan  Administrator  shall  be  made  in  the  following  manner:

     (A)  Within  60  days  following  receipt  by the Plan Administrator of the
request  for  review  (or  within  120  days if special circumstances require an
extension  of time), the Plan Administrator shall notify the claimant in writing
of  its  decision  with  regard  to  the  claim.  In  the  event of such special
circumstances  requiring  an  extension of time, written notice of the extension
shall  be  furnished to the claimant prior to the commencement of the extension.
If  the  decision on review is not furnished in a timely manner, the claim shall
be  deemed  denied as of the close of the initial 60-day period (or the close of
the  extension  period,  if  applicable).

     (B)  With  respect  to  a  claim  that  is  denied in whole or in part, the
decision  on  review shall set forth specific reasons for the decision, shall be
written  in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, and shall cite
specific  references  to  the pertinent plan provisions on which the decision is
based.

     (C)  The  decision of the Plan Administrator shall be final and conclusive.

9.5  ACTION  BY  AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF CLAIMANT. All actions set forth in
this  ARTICLE  IX  to  be  taken  by  the  claimant  may  likewise be taken by a
representative  of  the  claimant duly authorized by him to act in his behalf on
such  matters.  The  Plan  Administrator  may  require  such  evidence as it may
reasonably  deem  necessary  or  advisable  of  the authority to act of any such
representative.


                            ARTICLE X. MISCELLANEOUS

10.1  NONALIENATION  OF  BENEFITS.  No  right or benefit under the Plan shall be
subject  to  anticipation,  alienation,  sale,  transfer,  assignment,  pledge,
encumbrance,  attachment,  garnishment or charge, and any attempt to anticipate,
alienate,  sell,  transfer,  assign, pledge, encumber, attach, garnish or charge
any right or benefit under the Plan shall be void. No right or benefit hereunder
shall  in  any  manner  be  liable  for  or  subject  to  the  debts, contracts,
liabilities or torts of the person entitled to such benefit. If a Participant or
Beneficiary  hereunder  shall  become  bankrupt,  or  attempt  (voluntarily  or

<PAGE>
involuntarily)  to  anticipate,  alienate,  sell,  transfer,  assign,  pledge,
encumber,  or  charge  any  right hereunder, or if any creditor shall attempt to
attach, garnish, levy on or otherwise alienate or affect the right or benefit of
any  Participant  or Beneficiary hereunder, then such right or benefit shall, in
the  discretion  of  the  Committee, cease and terminate, and in such event, the
Committee  may  hold  or apply the same, or any part thereof, for the benefit of
the  Participant  or  Beneficiary  in  such  manner  and  in  such  amounts  and
proportions  as  the  Committee  may  deem  proper.

10.2  NO  TRUST  CREATED. The Plan constitutes a mere promise by a Participating
Company  to  make  benefit  payments  in  the  future.  The  obligation  of  a
Participating  Company  to  make  a  payment  hereunder  shall constitute only a
liability of such Participating Company to the Participant, and no Participating
Company  shall  be  liable  to  make a payment to any Participant who is not its
Employee.  Each  such  payment  shall  be  made  from  the  general funds of the
Participating  Company,  and  no  Participating  Company  shall  be  required to
establish  or  maintain  any special or separate fund, or to purchase or acquire
life  insurance  on  a  Participant's  life, or otherwise to segregate assets to
assure that such payments shall be made. Neither a Participant nor a Beneficiary
shall  have  any  interest in any particular asset of a Participating Company by
reason  of  its obligations hereunder, and the right of a Participant to receive
payments  under  this  Plan  shall  be  merely  the right of a general unsecured
creditor  of  the Participating Company which is his employer. Nothing contained
in  the Plan shall create or be construed as creating a trust of any kind or any
other  fiduciary  relationship between a Participating Company and a Participant
or  Beneficiary.

10.3  NO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT. Neither the execution of this Plan nor any action
taken  by  a  Participating  Company  pursuant  to  this  Plan  shall be held or
construed  to  confer  on  a  Participant  any legal right to be continued as an
employee  of  the  Participating  Company.  This  Plan  shall  not  be deemed to
constitute  a  contract  of  employment  between  a  Participating Company and a
Participant,  nor  shall  any  provision  herein  restrict  the  right  of  any
Participant  to  terminate  his  employment  with  a  Participating  Company.

10.4  FUNDING POLICY. This Plan is unfunded, and benefits shall be paid from the
general  assets  of  the  Participating  Company  which  is  the employer of the
Participant.  However, a Participating Company may reserve such funds, make such
investments  or  purchase  such  insurance  policies as it may from time to time
choose  to  provide  a  source for payments under the Plan. The Participants and
Beneficiaries  shall  have no claims to any such funds, investments or policies.

<PAGE>
10.5     BINDING  EFFECT.  A  Participating  Company  shall  be liable only with
respect  to obligations incurred pursuant to this Plan for its own Employees; no
Participating  Company  shall be liable with respect to benefits due an Employee
of  any  other  Participating  Company.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  Delta
Woodside  Industries,  Inc.,  as  direct or indirect parent of each of the other
Participating  Companies,  guarantees payment and performance of the obligations
of  each of the other Participating Companies hereunder. Benefits under the Plan
shall inure to the benefit of the Participant and the Participant's Beneficiary.

10.6  ENTIRE PLAN. This document and any amendments hereto contain all the terms
and  provisions  of  the  Plan  and  shall constitute the entire Plan, any other
alleged  terms  or  provisions  being  of  no  effect.

10.7  MERGER  OR CONSOLIDATION. In the event of a merger or a consolidation of a
Participating  Company with another corporation or entity, or the acquisition of
substantially  all of the assets or outstanding stock of a Participating Company
by  another  corporation  or  entity, then and in such event the obligations and
responsibilities of such merged or acquired corporation under this Plan shall be
assumed by any such successor or acquiring corporation or entity, and all of the
rights,  privileges  and  benefits of the Participants hereunder shall continue.

10.8  PAYMENT  TO  INCOMPETENT. Payments of benefits shall be made directly to a
Participant  or  Beneficiary  entitled  thereof,  or  if  such  Participant  or
Beneficiary  has  been  determined  by  a  court of competent jurisdiction to be
mentally  or  physically  incompetent,  then  payment  shall be made to the duly
appointed  guardian,  conservator  or  other  authorized  representative of such
Participant  or  Beneficiary.  The Participating Company shall have the right to
make  payment  directly  to  a  Participant or Beneficiary until it has received
actual  notice  of  the  physical  or  mental  incapacity of such Participant or
Beneficiary and notice of the appointment of a duly authorized representative of
his  estate. Any such payment to an authorized representative for the benefit of
a  Participant  or Beneficiary shall be a complete discharge of all liability of
the  Participating  Company  therefor.

10.9  NO  CONTRIBUTIONS.  The  Participant  shall  not  be permitted to make any
contributions  to  this  plan.

Mr.  Robert  W.  Humphreys
Delta  Woodside  Industries,  Inc.
233  N.  Main  Street,  Suite  200
Greenville,  SC  29601

Dear  Bob:

This  letter  is  to  confirm  our  discussion concerning your new assignment as
President  &  Chief  Executive  Officer  of Delta Apparel.  Congratulations.  We
believe that you are the right person to lead Delta Apparel, and begin getting a
proper  return  for  our  stockholders.

Your  salary  will  be  $300,000,  and  will  be  effective  with the pay period
beginning  April  26,  1999.

You  will  be  guaranteed a bonus of $300,000 for the fiscal year July 4, 1999 -
July  1,  2000.  You  must be on this job during this period.   For fiscal 1999,
you  will  be  on the corporate bonus plan for the first ten months, then at the
guaranteed  annual  $300,000  rate for the eleventh and twelfth months of fiscal
1999.  As  the  CEO  of  Delta  Apparel, we will want you to develop a year 2000
bonus  plan  for the division, to be approved by the new Board of Delta Apparel.
Beginning  with  the  2001  fiscal  year, you will be a participant in the Delta
Apparel  Bonus  Plan.  To  receive  any  of the above, you must be on the job as
President  &  CEO  of  Delta  Apparel  at  that  time.

You  do  not  want to move to the Duluth area.  If you change your mind, we will
move  you.  In  the interim, we will pay your commutation costs from Greenville.
It  may make economic sense to rent an apartment in Duluth rather than pay motel
rates,  or  lease  a  car  for  you  rather  than  pay  mileage.

April  22,  1999

The  post spin-off Delta Apparel will have an Incentive Shares Plan that will be
the  same  as,  or  very  similar  to,  the  existing  Delta  Woodside  Plan.

In addition, the new company will have an initial performance based Stock Option
Plan,  with  500,000  shares  (assuming  a  10-1  reverse  split on the existing
shares).  Twenty-five  percent  of  these  shares  will be reserved for you.  To
exercise  this  option,  you  must  be  on  the  job as President & CEO of Delta
Apparel.  The  remaining shares will be available for you to distribute to other
members  of  the  Delta  Apparel  management  employees.

On  December  14,  1998,  I gave you a letter advising you that, "if your job is
eliminated  because  of downsizing, restructuring, or a change of control before
December  2000, you will be paid a bonus to stay of two years' salary, plus your
regular  severance.  Since  you  have satisfactorily completed your part of this
agreement,  we  will  pay you the two years bonus to stay at your Financial Vice
President's  salary  rate  of  $200,000.  Since  you  are  now employed at Delta
Apparel,  your regular severance will not be paid.  With this payment, my letter
of  December  14,  1998,  will  no  longer  be  in  effect.

This  letter is written in anticipation of the restructuring/spin-offs occurring
as  planned.  If  they  do  not,  then  you will be the President & CEO of Delta
Apparel,  a  division  of  Delta Woodside, and you will be elected a Director of
Delta  Woodside.

Bob,  congratulations, again.  We are looking forward to working with you in the
future.

Best  regards.

                                   Sincerely  yours,



                                   E.  Erwin  Maddrey,  II

Mr.  Douglas  J.  Stevens
Delta  Woodside  Industries,  Inc.
233  N.  Main  St.,  Suite  200
Greenville,  SC  29601

Dear  Doug:

This  letter is to cover your planned work schedule/beginning of retirement over
the  next  three  years.

Starting with the 1999 fiscal year which begins June 28, 1998, you will begin to
work  about  "half  time".  Because of the scheduling that may be required for a
lengthy  trip,  "half time" could have several definitions.  For example, if you
are  in town a week, you may prefer to work 2-1/2 days that week.  If you take a
trip  that  requires you to be gone for a week, you may want to take a week off,
etc.  In  other  words,  this  is  a flexible schedule.  You will be a full time
employee  of  Delta  Woodside  and will serve as Vice President - International.
You  will  report to me, but will be responsible for assisting the Presidents of
Delta  Mills  Marketing,  Duck  Head  and  Delta  Apparel in their international
efforts.  We  expect your work schedule and plans to be developed in conjunction
with  these  Division  Presidents.

Your  salary  will  be  $87,500  per  year.  All  benefit  programs in which you
participate  will  remain  in  place.  It  is  our  intention  to  extend  your
participation  in  the  Incentive Shares Plan and Stock Option Program when they
come  up  for  renewal  at  one-half  the  current  level.
An  annual  bonus  plan  for you for international development will be developed
between  the  three  Division  Presidents,  you  and  me.

If the workload becomes such that the job cannot be done on a "half time" basis,
then  we will pay you at the rate of $85.00 per hour for the time required above
"half  time".  All  expenses  will  be paid by Delta Woodside.  We expect you to
have  all  time, expenses, etc., approved in advance by the appropriate Division
President.

June  8,  1998


If  you  decide not to continue with this work schedule, or if you are unable to
do  so  due to disability or death, or if Delta Woodside decides not to continue
it,  then  you  will be paid a severance of $150,000 if this should occur at the
end  of the first year, or $75,000 if this should occur at the end of the second
year.  We  would  pro-rate  for  months  in  between.

If  this  should  occur,  you will be allowed to continue your insurance for one
year  as  an  active employee, then be covered under the Retiree Insurance Plan.

As  a  corporate  officer,  we  would  like  for  you to attend the two Managers
Meetings,  the  Planning  Meetings  and have an open invitation to the Quarterly
Review  Meetings and the Presidents Meetings.  You can attend when your schedule
permits or at your convenience.  We'll probably want you to brief the Board once
a  year  on  our  international  progress.

Although your schedule will be "half time", you know that we consider you a full
time  member  of  our  corporate  management  group.

Best  regards.

                                   Sincerely  yours,



                                   E.  Erwin  Maddrey,  II
                                   President  &  CEO

TO OUR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS


To Our Shareholders:

Fiscal 1999 was a difficult  year for the  Company.  Sales volume was down 8% to
$493 million and the Company reported a pre-tax loss from continuing  operations
of $31.7 million as compared to a pre-tax profit of $3.5 million in fiscal 1998.

Sales volume at Duck Head Apparel,  our branded apparel  division,  was down 16%
from fiscal 1998, and operating losses in this division increased by $38 million
from fiscal 1998.  The decrease in sales at Duck Head was  primarily  due to the
loss of a key account due to its acquisition by another  retailer.  The increase
in operating  losses was due  primarily  to a write-off  of goodwill,  increased
advertising  expenses,  increased inventory reserves necessitated by the reduced
volume,  and changes in the estimated useful lives of certain asset  categories.
During the year, the Company  announced  plans to seek a buyer for the Duck Head
division.  The efforts to market this business  resulted in no offers reflecting
the  value of this  business,  so the  decision  was made to retain  Duck  Head.
Subsequent to the decision to retain the business, we hired Mr. Robert D. Rockey
as President of Duck Head.  Mr. Rockey has  extensive  experience in the branded
apparel  industry,  primarily  with Levi Strauss.  We believe that Mr.  Rockey's
experience and expertise will enable Duck Head to return to profitability.

<PAGE>
Delta Mills Marketing  Company,  our woven textile  division,  had sales of $314
million,  down from a record $342 million in fiscal 1998. Operating profits also
fell to $40 million from $46 million in fiscal 1998. The reduction in both sales
and  operating  profits  was due  primarily  to a  reduction  in  volume  in the
synthetics portion of this business.  Volume also continued to fall in the sales
of unfinished  fabrics.  We are in the process of converting certain assets used
in the  production of unfinished  fabrics to the  production of finished  cotton
fabrics,  where demand  remains good. We expect the results of the conversion of
these assets to begin favorably  impacting  results in the second fiscal quarter
of 2000. We have also reduced  overhead  costs  associated  with the  synthetics
business to more  closely  reflect our ongoing  reduced  volume in that  product
category.

Delta Apparel,  our knit activewear division,  had sales of $106 million,  which
was unchanged from fiscal 1998.  Operating losses in fiscal 1999 narrowed to $10
million  from $18  million in fiscal  1998.  While  these  results  are far from
satisfactory, we are encouraged by the improvements in this business. During the
year,  Mr.  Robert  W.  Humphreys  was named  President  of Delta  Apparel.  Mr.
Humphreys  has been with the  Company for over 12 years,  most  recently as Vice
President  of Finance of Delta  Woodside  Industries.  We are  confident  in Mr.
Humphreys' ability to continue the improvement in this business.

During the year,  we completed  the  previously  announced  sale of the Nautilus
International  business,  our fitness  equipment  division,  and we  essentially
completed the liquidation of the Stevcoknit  Fabrics division.  These disposals,
combined with our continued focus on inventory  management,  allowed the Company
to reduce outstanding debt by nearly $37 million during fiscal 1999.

During the third  quarter of fiscal  1999,  the  Company  announced  that it was
exploring alternatives to its current structure and capitalization. This process
has led to the  elimination of several  options,  but our review  continues.  It
remains our belief that the best  strategy for the Company and its  shareholders
will involve the separation of our three businesses into independent  companies.
Accordingly,  we are in the  process of  developing  a plan of action to address
this concern. It is our belief that in the coming months, a definitive plan will
be announced and implemented.

Effective  October 1, 1999,  Mr.  Bettis C.  Rainsford  resigned his position as
Executive  Vice  President,  Treasurer  and Chief  Financial  Officer  to pursue
personal  business  interests.  Mr.  Rainsford  will remain as a Director of the
Company.

Bettis  and I founded  the  Company  in 1983.  Since  that time he has  provided
invaluable  service  in a wide  range of areas  including  the  development  and
implementation of appropriate  capitalization and business structures. The board
and I will miss Bettis' contributions as an officer and we want to thank him for
his years of service with Delta Woodside. We wish him well in his new endeavors.

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

The  foregoing  letter to  shareholders  and the  following  discussion  contain
certain "forward-looking  statements".  All statements, other than statements of
historical  fact, that address  activities,  events,  or  developments  that the
Company expects or anticipates  will or may occur in the future,  including such
matters as future revenues,  future cost savings,  future capital  expenditures,
business strategy,  competitive  strengths,  goals, plans,  references to future
success and other such  information are  forward-looking  statements.  The words
"estimate", "project", "anticipate",  "expect", "intend", "believe", and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking  statements in this Annual Report are based on the Company's
expectations  and are subject to a number of business  risks and  uncertainties,
any of which  could cause  actual  results to differ  materially  from those set
forth  in or  implied  by  the  forward  looking  statements.  These  risks  and
uncertainties  include,  among others,  changes in the retail demand for apparel
products,  the cost of raw materials,  competitive conditions in the apparel and
textile industries, the relative strength of the United States dollar as against
other  currencies,  changes in United States trade regulations and the discovery
of unknown conditions (such as with respect to environmental  matters, Year 2000
readiness, and similar items). The Company does not undertake publicly to update
or revise  the  forward-looking  statements  even if it  becomes  clear that any
projected results will not be realized.

CONSOLIDATED COMPANY RESULTS
FISCAL 1999 VERSUS FISCAL 1998

During  the third  quarter  of fiscal  1999,  the  Company  announced  a plan to
spin-off the Duck Head and Delta Apparel divisions to the Company's shareholders
and to sell for cash the remaining company. Due to a lack of adequate offers for
the remaining company, this plan was subsequently terminated. At the time of the
announcement of the termination of that plan, the Company  announced that it was
exploring other alternatives,  including a recapitalization of Delta Mills which
would involve a spin-off of the Duck Head and Delta Apparel divisions and a cash
distribution to the Company's shareholders. Due to softness in the bond markets,
particularly for textile and apparel issuers, this plan was also terminated.  It
is the  Company's  belief  that  the  best  strategy  for  the  Company  and its
shareholders  will involve the separation of the Company's  three divisions into
independent companies.  Accordingly, the Company is in the process of developing
a plan of action to address this concern.

During fiscal 1999 the Company recognized  impairment of the excess of cost over
assigned value of net assets  acquired in the Duck Head Apparel  division and of
certain real property in the Delta Apparel division, resulting in pretax charges
totaling $14 million.  Also in fiscal 1999, the Duck Head Apparel  division took
pretax  charges of $14.7 million  resulting  from reducing the estimated  useful
lives of certain  categories of assets to more closely reflect current  industry
standards,  increasing inventory reserves due to poor sales levels,  writing off
store fixtures at former customers'  premises,  and reducing production capacity
to more closely  match  reduced  sales  levels.  During  fiscal 1999,  the Delta
Apparel  division  took pretax  charges of $3.1 million to increase  reserves on
certain  discontinued  and slow  moving  inventory  categories,  and to increase
accounts receivable reserves and recorded a $2.6 million pretax charge to adjust
the carrying value of certain plant assets.

<PAGE>
Consolidated  net sales for fiscal year 1999 were $493 million  compared to $535
million from continuing  operations for the fiscal year ended June 27, 1998. Net
sales  decreased in Delta Mills  Marketing and in Duck Head  Apparel,  while net
sales in Delta Apparel were unchanged.

Consolidated  gross profit margin for fiscal 1999 was down from the prior fiscal
year. Margins decreased  significantly in Duck Head Apparel,  increased in Delta
Apparel, and were down slightly in Delta Mills Marketing.

Consolidated  selling,  general,  and  administrative  expense  for fiscal  1999
totaled $ 69 million, or 14% of net sales compared to $ 61 million or 11% of net
sales in the prior fiscal year.  These expenses  increased at Duck Head Apparel,
decreased at Delta Mills  Marketing,  and were  unchanged at Delta  Apparel.  In
addition,  the Company  incurred  expenses  totaling  $3.6 million that were not
allocated to the segments. These expenses include severance costs,  professional
fees,  and other costs  associated  with the  Company's  actions  regarding  the
previously discussed plans for restructuring of the Company.

For fiscal year 1999, the Company reported an operating loss of $12 million,  as
compared  to an  operating  profit  of $26  million  in the prior  fiscal  year.
Operating results were lower due to lower sales volume, lower margins, increased
selling,  general,  and administrative  expenses,  and as a result of impairment
charges at Duck Head Apparel and Delta Apparel.

Interest expense was down 15% in fiscal year 1999 compared to fiscal 1998 due to
a decrease in net borrowings.

The effective tax rate on income from continuing  operations for fiscal 1999 was
a  negative  3% as  compared  to 25% for fiscal  1998.  The 1999 tax rate is the
result of valuation allowances  offsetting the tax benefit of the pretax losses,
and state franchise and income tax expenses.

Inventories  were $96 million at July 3, 1999  compared to $114  million at June
27, 1998. Inventories decreased at all divisions.

The Company's  order backlog at July 3, 1999 was $98 million as compared to $158
million at June 27,1998.  Order  backlogs were down at all  divisions,  with the
largest decline occurring at the Delta Mills Marketing  division,  primarily due
to a decline in blanket  contracts when specific color  requirements are unknown
related to a change in customer practices and a decline in orders as a result of
market conditions, particularly in the synthetics business.

CONSOLIDATED COMPANY RESULTS
FISCAL 1998 VERSUS FISCAL 1997

As a result of the history of operating losses at Stevcoknit  Fabrics'  knitting
and knit finishing plants, and at the Nautilus fitness equipment  business,  the
Company  made the  decision  on March 3,  1998 to close its  Stevcoknit  Fabrics
division and to sell its Nautilus  International  division (fitness  equipment).
Accordingly,  operating  results  for  those  segments  have  been  reported  as
discontinued  operations.  Most of the  liquidation  of the  Stevcoknit  Fabrics
business  was   completed  in  fiscal  1998.   The  Company  sold  its  Nautilus
International business in January 1999.

<PAGE>
Net sales from  continuing  operations  for fiscal  year 1998 were $535  million
compared  to $530  million for the fiscal  year ended June 28,  1997.  Net sales
increases in Delta Mills Marketing and in Duck Head Apparel were offset somewhat
by a sales decrease at Delta Apparel.

Gross margin for fiscal 1998 was down slightly,  from the prior fiscal year. All
of the Company's businesses experienced a decline in gross margin.

Selling,  general,  and  administrative  expense  for fiscal  1998  totaled  $61
million,  or 11% of net sales compared to $53 million or 10% of net sales in the
prior fiscal year. SG&A cost increased at Delta Mills  Marketing  Company due to
increased spending on data processing  systems, at Duck Head Apparel Company due
to higher cost of in store shops and management  salaries,  and at Delta Apparel
due to several factors including an increase in bad debt expense.

The  Company  reported  operating  earnings  of $26  million  or 5% of net sales
compared  to $47  million  or 8.8% of sales for the prior  fiscal  year.  During
fiscal 1998, operating profits decreased in all of the Company's segments due to
lower  margins,  increased  selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  and
certain restructuring charges at Delta Apparel and Duck Head Apparel.

Interest expense increased  slightly in fiscal 1998 compared to fiscal 1997; net
borrowings  decreased,  but interest rates  increased.  The interest rate on the
senior notes  issued on August 25, 1997 is higher than the interest  rate on the
prior revolving credit facility.

The effective tax rate on income from continuing  operations for fiscal 1998 was
25% as  compared  to 38% for fiscal  1997.  The lower tax rate was a result of a
reduction in valuation allowances recognized in the prior fiscal year.

Inventories  were $114 million at June 27, 1998 compared to $134 million at June
28, 1997. The decrease in inventory  occurred primarily at Duck Head Apparel and
at Delta Apparel.

SEGMENT RESULTS

DELTA MILLS MARKETING COMPANY
FISCAL 1999 VERSUS FISCAL 1998

Delta Mills Marketing  manufactures and sells finished woven fabrics principally
to manufacturers of apparel products.  The segment also sells unfinished fabrics
to converters for various end uses. Delta Mills Marketing  operated at less than
full  capacity  during  fiscal 1999  primarily  due to less demand for synthetic
finished apparel fabrics and unfinished fabrics sold to converters. These trends
are  expected to  continue at least  through the first half of fiscal year 2000.
Consequently, the synthetic operations have been downsized to more closely match
capacity  with market  demand and the  unfinished  fabrics  production  is being
replaced with the more profitable  finished cotton fabrics product lines.  These
changes are expected to position this segment to maintain  profitability  in the
future. Generally, profitability of this segment is enhanced by increases in the
use of its manufacturing capacity and is affected by the relative mix of more or
less  profitable  goods  being  produced  and the cost and  availability  of raw
materials.

Net sales for fiscal year 1999 totaled $314 million, as compared to $342 million
for fiscal 1998 a decrease of 8.2%. Sales of synthetic  fabrics declined 30% and
accounted  for the  majority  of the decline in sales.  Sales of finished  woven
cotton  fabrics to  commercial  accounts  increased  while  government  accounts

<PAGE>
decreased  due  to  decreased  demand.  Sales  of  unfinished  fabrics  sold  to
converters  continued  to  decline  and will be  replaced  with more  profitable
product lines in fiscal year 2000.

Gross profit in fiscal year 1999 was $57 million,  as compared to $63 million in
fiscal year 1998 and was  approximately  the same as a percent of sales for both
fiscal years. The gross profit decline was due principally to the decline in the
finished synthetic fabric business in both volume and capacity utilization.

Operating  earnings  for fiscal  year 1999 were $40  million as  compared to $46
million in fiscal year 1998.  The decline in  operating  earnings is primarily a
result of the decline in gross profit and was somewhat  offset by a reduction in
selling, general and administrative expenses.

Inventories at July 3, 1999 totaled $44.4 million,  compared to $53.4 million at
June 27, 1998.

Capital  expenditures  in fiscal  1999 were $8.7  million  as  compared  to $5.2
million in fiscal 1998.

DELTA MILLS MARKETING COMPANY
FISCAL 1998 VERSUS FISCAL 1997

Net sales for fiscal year 1998 totaled $342 million, as compared to $336 million
for fiscal  year 1997,  an increase of 2%.  Sales of finished  woven  fabrics to
commercial  accounts and government  accounts increased due to increased demand.
These  increases  were  largely  offset  by a  sharp,  32%  decline  in sales of
unfinished woven fabrics due to decreased demand.

Gross profit in fiscal year 1998 was $63 million,  as compared to $65 million in
fiscal year 1997. The gross profit decline was due principally to the decline in
the unfinished woven fabrics business in both volume and price.

Operating  earnings  for fiscal year 1998 were $46  million,  as compared to $51
million in fiscal year 1997.  The decline in  operating  earnings is primarily a
result of the decline in gross  margins and due to increased  selling,  general,
and  administrative  expenses  attributable  in part to  information  technology
project expenditures.

Inventories at June 27, 1998 totaled $53.4 million, compared to $53.6 million at
June 28, 1997.

Capital  expenditures  in fiscal  1998 were $5.2  million as  compared  to $12.0
million in fiscal 1997.

DELTA APPAREL COMPANY
FISCAL 1999 VERSUS FISCAL 1998

Delta Apparel  manufactures  and sells T-shirts,  fleece goods and sportswear to
distributors,  screen printers and private label accounts. Operating results are
dependent  in large  part on orders  from  retailers,  distributors,  and screen
printers who supply finished garments to retailers. Generally, when retail sales
of apparel are strong,  Delta Apparel  benefits.  Its operating results are also
dependent on the  utilization  of its  manufacturing  facilities.  Delta Apparel
operated its  facilities  near full  capacity  during  fiscal 1999.  The Company
believes that Delta Apparel will operate its facilities at or near full capacity
during fiscal 2000.

<PAGE>
Net sales for fiscal year 1999 were $106 million,  which was consistent with net
sales of $106  million in fiscal year 1998.  Fiscal year 1999 net sales were the
result of increased unit sales offset by lower unit prices as compared to fiscal
year 1998.

Gross profit  increased from $3.9 million in fiscal year 1998 to $5.7 million in
fiscal  year  1999  as  a  result  of  lower  raw  material   costs  and  better
manufacturing  efficiencies.  In fiscal  year 1999 a charge of $2.6  million  is
included in gross profit to adjust the carrying  value of certain  plant assets.
Also  included  in  fiscal  year 1999 is a charge of $1.7  million  to  increase
reserves on certain discontinued and slow moving inventory categories.

The fiscal year 1999  operating  loss was $10 million,  compared to an operating
loss of $18  million in fiscal  1998.  Delta  Apparel's  improved  gross  profit
contributed to the reduction in operating  losses for fiscal year 1999. The 1999
operating  loss  includes  an  impairment  charge of $1.4  million to write down
certain real  property.  The 1999  operating loss also includes a charge of $1.4
million to selling,  general and  administrative  expenses to increase  accounts
receivable  reserves.  The fiscal 1998  operating  loss  includes an  impairment
charge of $7.5  million  that was  recorded to write off the excess of cost over
assigned value of net assets acquired.

Inventories  at Delta  Apparel at July 3, 1999 totaled $27 million,  compared to
$32 million at June 27, 1998.

Capital  expenditures  in fiscal  1999 were $3.6  million  as  compared  to $4.1
million in fiscal 1998.

DELTA APPAREL COMPANY
FISCAL 1998 VERSUS FISCAL 1997

Net sales for fiscal year 1998 were $106  million,  a decline of 5.4% from sales
of $112 million in fiscal year 1997.  The decline in sales was due both to lower
unit prices and to fewer units being shipped as compared to fiscal year 1997.

Gross profit  declined  from $4.3 million in fiscal year 1997 to $3.9 million in
fiscal year 1998, as a result of increased competition.

During the third  quarter of fiscal  1998,  Delta  Apparel  determined  that the
excess  of  cost  over  assigned  value  of  net  assets  acquired  in  a  prior
acquisition,  was impaired.  Accordingly,  a charge of $7.5 million was taken to
write-off the excess of cost over assigned value of net assets acquired at Delta
Apparel.

The fiscal year 1998 operating  loss,  including the impairment of the excess of
cost over assigned value of net assets acquired,  was $18 million compared to an
operating loss of $5.4 million in the prior fiscal year. The increased operating
loss was  primarily a result of the  impairment  charge,  but was also due to an
increase in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Inventories  at Delta Apparel at June 27, 1998 totaled $32 million,  compared to
$41 million at June 28, 1997.

<PAGE>
Capital  expenditures  in fiscal  1998 were $4.1  million  as  compared  to $2.4
million in fiscal 1997.


DUCK HEAD APPAREL COMPANY
FISCAL 1999 VERSUS FISCAL 1998

The Company's Duck Head Apparel segment manufactures and sells woven and knitted
apparel  under the Duck Head  label  primarily  to  retailers  and  through  the
company's own outlet stores.  Duck Head's  operating  results are dependent in a
large part on orders from retailers.  Generally,  Duck Head benefits when retail
sales of  apparel  are  strong.  Operating  results  are also  dependent  on the
utilization of its leased  manufacturing  facility.  This facility was not fully
utilized in fiscal 1999 and the Company does not believe that the facility  will
be fully utilized  during fiscal 2000.  Duck Head Apparel closed a manufacturing
facility in fiscal 1999 and in fiscal 1999 two  facilities  which were closed in
fiscal 1998 were sold. The facility closed in fiscal 1999 is expected to be sold
in fiscal 2000.

Net sales in the Duck Head Apparel  segment  decreased by $14.1 million to $72.3
million in fiscal 1999.  Sales to retail  accounts and sales from the  Company's
own stores both decreased.  The decrease in sales to retailers was due primarily
to the loss of a key account due to its being acquired by another retailer.  The
decrease in sales  through the  Company's  own stores was due primarily to fewer
stores being open in fiscal 1999 versus fiscal 1998.

Gross profit in the Duck Head Apparel segment decreased by $18.9 million to $9.9
million in fiscal  1999.  This  change was  principally  due to $7.7  million of
increased  reserve charges taken on excess  inventories and the decline in sales
volume from fiscal year 1998. Also included in fiscal 1999 are charges  totaling
$1.5 million to reduce production capacity to more closely reflect reduced sales
levels.

Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses in the Duck Head Apparel segment
totaled $35.4  million in fiscal 1999, an increase of 27% from fiscal 1998.  The
increase was primarily due to increased  marketing  expenses and $5.6 million in
accelerated amortization of in-store shops and computer equipment.

Fiscal 1999  operating  losses in Duck Head  Apparel  totaled  $39.3  million as
compared to a $.9 million operating loss in fiscal 1998.  Included in the fiscal
1999 operating losses is a $12.6 million charge for the impairment of the excess
of cost over assigned value of net assets acquired.  Included in the fiscal 1998
operating  losses  are $1.4  million  of  restructuring  charges  related to the
closing of two of the division's  sewing plants in Costa Rica and for closing of
additional retail outlet stores.

Inventories at Duck Head Apparel at July 3, 1999 totaled $24.7 million  compared
to $28.3  million at June  26,1998.  The net  decrease in  inventories  reflects
decreases in older  obsolete  inventory,  partially  offset by increases in both
recent season closeouts and in the core inventory.

Capital expenditures at Duck Head were $ 2.4 million and $7.4 million for fiscal
years 1999 and 1998, respectively.  The expenditures were primarily for fixtures
for in-store  shops and focal areas placed in major  retailers  and for hardware
and software related to the company's information technology programs.

DUCK HEAD APPAREL COMPANY
FISCAL 1998 VERSUS FISCAL 1997

Net sales in the Duck Head  Apparel  segment  increased  by $5.0  million to $86
million in fiscal 1998. Sales to retail accounts  increased while sales from the
company's  own stores  decreased.  The  increase in sales to  retailers  was due
primarily  to  increases  in sales to the same  accounts,  as compared to fiscal
1997.

Gross profit margins at Duck Head Apparel decreased slightly in fiscal 1998, due
principally to inventory reduction programs.

Fiscal  1998  operating  losses at Duck Head  Apparel  totaled  $.9  million  as
compared to a $1.4  million  operating  profit in fiscal  1997.  Included in the
fiscal 1998 operating losses are $1.4 million of  restructuring  charges related
to the  closing  of two sewing  plants in Costa Rica and the  closing of certain
retail outlet stores. Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased 9%
from  fiscal  1997,  primarily  due to  increased  merchandising  and  marketing
expenses.

Inventories  at Duck Head  Apparel  decreased  $8.6 million  during  fiscal 1998
resulting from a reduction in older obsolete  inventory and lower levels of core
and recent season close-outs.

Higher capital expenditures during fiscal 1998 were primarily for in-store shops
and focal areas placed in major retailers.


LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL

During  fiscal  1999,  the Company  financed  its capital  expenditures  through
proceeds  from the sale of  discontinued  operations  and  cash  generated  from
operations.  In  addition,  during  fiscal 1999,  proceeds  from the sale of the
assets of Nautilus  International  and the proceeds  from the current  assets of
Stevcoknit Fabrics, both discontinued operations, were used to reduce debt.

The Company  generated  operating cash flows of $54, $51 and $26 million for the
1999, 1998 and 1997 fiscal years,  respectively.  Cash generated from operations
has been used primarily to finance capital expenditures and to reduce debt.

On August 25, 1997 a subsidiary of the Company,  Delta Mills, Inc., "DMI" issued
$150  million  of  unsecured  ten-year  senior  notes,  and  obtained  a secured
five-year  $100  million  revolving  line of credit  subject to  borrowing  base
limitations. At the same time, the Company obtained a separate, $20 million line
of credit due October 31,  1998.  The $100 million  revolving  line of credit is
backed by certain accounts receivable and inventory of DMI with a carrying value
of $129 million at July 3, 1999.  At July 3, 1999  interest  rates on the senior
notes and the $100  million  revolving  line of  credit  were  9.625%  and 6.93%
respectively.

In May 1998,  the Company  replaced  the above  referenced  $20 million  line of
credit with a  short-term  $30 million  revolving  credit  facility  (subject to
borrowing base limitations) which was originally due in May of 1999. The term of
this facility has  subsequently  been extended until December 1999.  This credit
facility is backed by certain accounts receivable and inventory of Delta Apparel
and Duck Head Apparel with a carrying value of $79 million at July 3, 1999. This
credit facility carries an interest rate that is two percentage points above the
London Interbank Borrowing Rate.

<PAGE>
Loan covenants in the senior notes and the DMI revolving credit facility,  among
other matters,  limit the Company's ability to use cash generated by DMI to fund
operations in the rest of the Company.  At July 3, 1999, the most restrictive of
these covenants required DMI's tangible net worth to be $45 million.  At July 3,
1999, pursuant to this covenant, no funds were available for distribution by DMI
to the rest of the  Company.  At July 3,  1999  approximately  $99  million  was
available under the DMI revolving credit agreement and approximately $25 million
was  available  under the  Company's  separate  short-term  $30 million  line of
credit.  The  revolving  credit  facilities  and the senior notes  contain other
restrictive  covenants  which include certain other required  minimum  financial
ratios. The agreements also restrict  additional  indebtedness,  dividends,  and
capital expenditures.

On September 15, 1998, the Company announced a plan to repurchase,  from time to
time, up to 2.5 million shares of the Company's  outstanding stock at prices and
at times in the  discretion  of the Company's  top  management.  Through July 3,
1999, the Company had purchased for retirement  approximately one million shares
of its common stock at a total cost of about $4.5 million.

During  fiscal 2000,  the Company plans to spend  approximately  $12 million for
capital improvements and new equipment.  The Company believes that its equipment
and facilities are generally  adequate to remain  competitive with its principal
competitors.

The Company has  entered  into  agreements,  and has fixed  prices,  to purchase
cotton for use in its manufacturing operations. At July 3, 1999 minimum payments
under these  contracts  with  noncancelable  contract  terms were $42 million in
fiscal 2000.

The Company  believes that cash flow generated from its  operations,  along with
funds  available  under its credit  lines,  should be  sufficient to service its
debt, to satisfy its day-to-day  working capital needs,  and to fund its planned
capital expenditures.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Commodity Risk Sensitivity

As a part of the Company's  business of converting fiber to finished fabric, the
Company makes raw cotton purchase  commitments and then fixes prices with cotton
merchants who buy from producers and sell to textile manufacturers.  The Company
may seek to fix  prices up to 18 months in  advance  of  delivery.  Daily  price
fluctuations  are minimal,  yet long-term trends in price movement can result in
unfavorable pricing of cotton for the Company. Before fixing prices, the Company
looks at supply and demand  fundamentals,  recent price trends and other factors
that affect cotton  prices.  The Company also reviews the backlog of orders from
customers as well as the level of fixed price cotton commitments in the industry
in general.  At July 3, 1999,  a 10%  decline in the market  price of the cotton
covered by the Company's  fixed price  contracts would have a negative impact of
approximately  $4.2 million on the value of the contracts.  At the end of fiscal
1998, a 10% decline in the market price of the Company's  fixed price  contracts
would have had a negative impact of  approximately  $5.6 million on the value of
the contracts. The decline in the potential negative impact from 1998 to 1999 is
due  principally  to current cotton  commitments  being at  significantly  lower
average prices than in fiscal 1998.

<PAGE>
Interest Rate Sensitivity

     The following debt obligations are sensitive to changes in interest rates:

         $150  million of  unsecured  ten year  senior  notes  due  2007  at  a
         fixed rate of 9.625%.

        $100 million of secured five  year revolving  credit  facility  expiring
        2002 with interest of 6.93% at July 3, 1999. Interest is based on LIBOR.

        $30 million of short-term  secured  revolving credit facility  expiring
        December 2000 with interest of 7.22% at July 3, 1999. Interest is based
        on LIBOR.

An  interest  rate  change  would not have an impact on the fixed  rate ten year
senior  notes  totaling  $150  million.  An interest  rate  change  would have a
negative  impact to the extent the  Company  increases  borrowings  against  the
revolving  credit  facilities.  The impact  would be  dependent  on the level of
borrowings  incurred.  During  fiscal years 1999 and 1998,  based on the average
principal  balance  outstanding,  a 1%  increase  in  interest  rates would have
resulted in increased  interest expense of approximately  $533,000 and $879,000,
respectively.  In  fiscal  year  2000,  as of  this  date,  the  Company  has no
outstanding borrowings against the revolving credit facilities.


YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

The Company has a variety of computers and systems that are subject to Year 2000
issues.  The Year 2000 problem arose because many existing computer programs use
only the last two digits to refer to a year.  Therefore,  these  programs do not
differentiate between a year that begins with "20" instead of the familiar "19".
If not  corrected,  many computer  applications  could fail, or cause  erroneous
results.  The  Company  has  considered  the  impact of Year 2000  issues on the
Company's  computer  information  systems and other  equipment that use embedded
technology  such as  micro-controllers,  and has  developed  and  implemented  a
remediation  plan.  The Company's Year 2000 plan includes 1)  Identification  of
year 2000 issues,  2) Assessment and  prioritization  of issues, 3) Remediation,
and 4) Testing for Year 2000 compliance.  Because the Company has a wide variety
of systems and equipment at various  locations  affected by the Year 2000 issue,
various  aspects of the Company's  Year 2000 efforts are at different  stages of
progress.  Most of the  work  now  being  done  involves  testing  of Year  2000
solutions,  tracking key vendor Year 2000  compliance,  and testing  contingency
plans.  Expenditures  in  fiscal  1998 for the Year  2000  project  amounted  to
approximately  $150,000.  As a part of its plan to achieve Year 2000 compliance,
the Company  decided to accelerate  the schedule for  implementation  of certain
data  collection  systems.  The  cost of these  systems  is  approximately  $1.2
million.  The Company spent approximately $1.5 million on software  improvements
and remediation work in fiscal year 1999, and expects to spend an additional $.4
million in fiscal year 2000,  with  completion  expected by the first quarter of
fiscal year 2000.  Most key vendors and customers have  documented  assurance of
current  or planned  readiness  for the year 2000.  The most  likely  worst-case
scenario is that certain  non-critical  business systems might fail. The Company
has developed  contingency plans for all systems that had not been remediated as

<PAGE>
of July 3, 1999. Contingency plans include the option to disable certain systems
or to use  alternate  methods  of  providing  the same or similar  service.  The
Company  does not believe that these  non-critical  systems will have a material
adverse impact on the Company's ability to generate  revenue.  In the event that
the  Company is unable to  implement  all or a part of its Year 2000 plan,  then
some of the Company's computer systems could fail. Any liability or lost revenue
associated with systems failure cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.


ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

The Company is subject to various federal,  state, and local  environmental laws
and regulations  concerning,  among other things,  wastewater discharges,  storm
water flows,  air emissions,  ozone  depletion,  and solid waste  disposal.  The
Company's  plants  generate very small  quantities of hazardous  waste which are
either  recycled  or disposed  of off site.  Most of its plants are  required to
possess one or more discharge permits.

The Company  believes  that it is in  compliance  in all material  respects with
federal, state, and local environmental statutes and requirements.

Two of Delta Mills Marketing  Company's South Carolina plants, the Delta 2 and 3
finishing  plants,  have been unable to comply with  certain  toxicity and other
permit-related  limits contained in a National Pollutant  Discharge  Elimination
System ("NPDES") permit held by the Company.  Additionally,  high nitrate levels
have been  observed at the spray field for these  plants.  To attempt to achieve
compliance  with the  non-toxicity  NPDES permit limits,  the Company  completed
certain upgrades in October 1998 at a cost of approximately $2.3 million.  Since
then, the Company has had two non-toxicity  permit  violations  resulting in the
payment of a de minimis  penalty.  The Company  believes that it will be able to
comply with the  non-toxicity  permit  limits.  The Company is working  with the
appropriate  state agency to address the toxicity and nitrate  issues.  Although
there is no  assurance  that the Company will be  successful,  and it could face
additional administrative penalties if it is not, the Company does not currently
believe that these matters will have a material adverse impact on the Company.

The Company is currently assessing groundwater contamination at its discontinued
Greensboro, North Carolina plant. The Company believes, however, that the source
of the  contamination  was removed  several years ago by the prior owner and the
Company  currently  has no plans to  remediate  any  groundwater  contamination.
Although no assurance can be provided,  the Company does not  currently  believe
that this matter will have a material adverse impact on the Company.

OPERATIONS BY INDUSTRY SEGMENT

In the third  quarter of fiscal  year 1998,  the  Company  adopted  the  segment
reporting  provisions  of  Financial  Accounting  Standard  131.  This  standard
requires the Company to report segment information for divisions which engage in
business  activity,  whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief
operating  officer.  The Company has three  segments in  continuing  operations:
Delta Mills Marketing Company,  Delta Apparel and Duck Head Apparel. Delta Mills
Marketing  Company  manufactures  and sells  woven  fabrics for apparel and home
furnishing manufacturers.  Delta Apparel manufactures and sells T-shirts, fleece

<PAGE>
goods, and sportswear.  Duck Head Apparel  manufactures and sells casual apparel
under the brand name "Duck Head" to department  stores and specialty  retailers.
Operating  profit does not include  interest  expense or  interest  income.  The
Company  had two  segments  which  are  presented  as  discontinued  operations:
Stevcoknit  Fabrics  Company  and  Nautilus  International.  Stevcoknit  Fabrics
Company  manufactured  and sold  knitted  fabrics,  and  Nautilus  International
manufactured and sold fitness equipment.

Intersegment  sales and profit are not  significant  and are not included in the
accompanying segment information. Delta Mills Marketing Company had intersegment
sales of $662,000,  $417,000  and $5,000 for fiscal  years 1999,  1998 and 1997,
respectively.   Delta  Apparel  Company  had  intersegment  sales  of  $467,000,
$2,192,000 and $403,000 for fiscal years 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Operating profit is total revenue less operating  expenses,  excluding  interest
expense and interest income. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999, Duck Head
Apparel took a $12.6 million  impairment  charge to write off the excess of cost
over assigned value of net assets acquired and Delta Apparel took a $1.4 million
impairment  charge  to  write  down  certain  real  property.  Depreciation  and
amortization  include certain  write-downs of property,  equipment and excess of
cost over assigned value of net assets acquired.  Identifiable  assets are those
assets that are used in the operations of each segment.  At July 3, 1999,  other
identifiable  assets  include cash and  insurance  policies of $15.4 million and
deferred loan costs of $4.8 million.

During the third  quarter of fiscal  1998,  Delta  Apparel  took a $7.5  million
impairment  charge to write-off  the excess of cost over  assigned  value of net
assets acquired.  In the same quarter,  Duck Head Apparel recognized a charge of
$1.4  million  primarily  associated  with the closing of two of the  division's
sewing plants in Costa Rica and the closing of certain retail stores.

Capital expenditures include related accounts payable of $2,154,000, $2,321,000,
and $1,228,000 for the 1999, 1998 and 1997 fiscal years, respectively.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS
DELTA WOODSIDE INDUSTRIES, INC.

We have audited the accompanying  consolidated  balance sheets of Delta Woodside
Industries,  Inc.  as of July  3,  1999  and  June  27,  1998  and  the  related
consolidated statements of operations,  shareholders' equity, and cash flows for
each  of  the  years  in  the  three-year  period  ended  July  3,  1999.  These
consolidated  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of the  Company's
management.  Our  responsibility is to express an opinion on these  consolidated
financial statements based on our audit.

<PAGE>
We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Delta Woodside Industries, Inc.

NOTE A -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION:  The consolidated  financial statements include the
accounts of Delta Woodside Industries, Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries
(all of which are  wholly-owned,  except  for  International  Apparel  Marketing
Corporation  which was 70% owned for the two years  ending  June 27,  1998,  and
wholly owned for the period ended July 3, 1999).  All  significant  intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain amounts for the 1998 and
1997 fiscal years have been reclassified to conform to the 1999 presentation.

CASH  EQUIVALENTS:  The Company  considers  all highly liquid  investments  with
maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

INVENTORIES:  Inventories  are stated at the lower of cost or market  determined
using both first-in, first-out (FIFO) and last-in, first-out (LIFO) methods.

PROPERTY,  PLANT AND EQUIPMENT:  Property,  plant and equipment is stated on the
basis  of  cost.  Depreciation  is  computed  by the  straight-line  method  for
financial  reporting based on estimated useful lives of two to thirty-two years,
but predominantly over seven to ten years, and by accelerated methods for income
tax reporting.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS:  Amortization is computed using the straight-line method. The
excess of cost over assigned  value of net assets  acquired  relating to certain
business combinations has been amortized to expense over 40 years. As of July 3,
1999, all such assets had been either  disposed of or written down to zero value
due to impairment. Other intangible assets are being amortized over periods of 5
to 10 years, but primarily over 10 years.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED  ASSETS:  When required by  circumstances,  the Company
evaluates the  recoverability  of its long-lived  assets by comparing  estimated
future  undiscounted cash flows with the asset's carrying amount to determine if
a write-down to market value or discounted cash flow is required.

REVENUE RECOGNITION: Sales are recorded upon shipment or designation of specific
goods for later  shipment at  customers'  request with related risk of ownership
passing to such customers.

INCOME TAXES:  Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax  consequences of
"temporary  differences" by applying  enacted  statutory tax rates applicable to
future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and
the tax bases of existing assets and  liabilities.  The effect on deferred taxes
of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date.

EARNINGS PER COMMON  SHARE:  Per share data are  computed  based on the weighted
average  number  of  shares  of  Common  Stock  and  Common  Stock   Equivalents
outstanding  during each  period.  The Company  adopted  Statement  of Financial
Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS")  No. 128,  during  fiscal  1998.  The  statement
requires companies to present basic and diluted earnings per share. Common stock
equivalents are approximately .2% to .3% of weighted average shares  outstanding
for the periods  presented,  and do not affect the  calculation  of earnings per
share.  These common stock equivalents are attributable to the stock option plan
where the options have vested, but have not yet been exercised.

ENVIRONMENTAL   COSTS:   Environmental   compliance  costs,   including  ongoing
maintenance,   monitoring   and  similar   costs,   are  expensed  as  incurred.
Environmental  remediation costs are accrued,  except to the extent costs can be
capitalized,  when remedial efforts are probable, and the cost can be reasonably
estimated.

<PAGE>
COTTON  PROCUREMENT:  The Company  contracts to buy cotton with future  delivery
dates at fixed  prices in order to reduce  the  effects of  fluctuations  in the
prices of cotton used in the manufacture of its products. These contracts permit
settlement  by  delivery  and are not used for  trading  purposes.  The  Company
commits  to fixed  prices  on a  percentage  of its  cotton  requirements  up to
eighteen  months in the  future.  If market  prices  for  cotton  fall below the
Company's committed fixed costs and it is estimated that the costs of cotton are
not recoverable in future sales of finished goods,  the  differential is charged
to income at that time.

ESTIMATES:  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and
assumptions  that  affect the  reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities  and
disclosure of  contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
statements  and the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

FISCAL YEAR:  The Company's  operations  are based on a fifty-two or fifty-three
week fiscal year ending on the  Saturday  closest to June 30.  Fiscal years 1998
and 1997 each consisted of 52 weeks and 1999 consisted of 53 weeks.

NOTE B -- ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Delta  Mills  Marketing  assigns a  substantial  portion  of its trade  accounts
receivable  to a  bank  under  a  factor  agreement.  The  assignment  of  these
receivables is primarily  without  recourse,  provided that customer  orders are
approved  by the bank  prior to  shipment  of goods,  up to a  maximum  for each
individual account.

The Company's  accounts  receivable  are due from many customers that market and
produce apparel, home furnishings and other products, and from department stores
and specialty apparel retailers located  throughout the United States.  The many
customers  represented in the Company's accounts  receivable limits to a certain
extent the  concentration of credit risk. The Company generally does not require
collateral for its accounts receivable. One customer accounted for 15%, 12%, and
15% of sales for fiscal years 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.


NOTE C -- INVENTORIES

As of July 3, 1999 and June 27,  1998,  cost for  certain  inventories  at Delta
Apparel and Duck Head Apparel is determined  under the LIFO method  representing
41% and 44%, respectively,  of the cost of consolidated inventories. The balance
of the cost of consolidated  inventories is determined under the FIFO method. If
these  inventories had been determined by the FIFO method,  they would have been
approximately the same as the reported amounts.

NOTE D -- LONG-TERM DEBT, CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS AND NOTES PAYABLE

                                                          ============  ============
</TABLE>

On August 25, 1997 a subsidiary of the Company,  Delta Mills, Inc., "DMI" issued
$150  million  of  unsecured  ten-year  senior  notes,  and  obtained  a secured
five-year $100 million revolving line of credit. The $100 million revolving line
of credit is backed by certain  accounts  receivable and inventory of DMI with a
carrying value of $129 million at July 3, 1999.

In May 1998,  the Company  obtained a short-term  $30 million  revolving  credit
facility  (subject to borrowing  base  limitations)  which is due in December of
1999.  This  credit  facility  is  backed by  certain  accounts  receivable  and
inventory of Delta  Apparel and Duck Head  Apparel with a carrying  value of $79
million at July 3, 1999. This credit  facility  carries an interest rate that is
two percentage points above the London Interbank Borrowing Rate.

Loan covenants in the senior notes and the DMI revolving  credit  facility limit
the  Company's  ability to use cash  generated by DMI to fund  operations in the
rest of the Company.  On July 3, 1999  approximately  $99 million was  available
under the DMI revolving  credit  agreement,  and  approximately  $25 million was
available under the separate  short-term $30 million line of credit.  The credit
facilities and the senior notes also contain other  restrictive  covenants which
include  required  minimum tangible net worth and certain other required minimum
financial  ratios.  The  agreements  also  restrict   additional   indebtedness,
dividends  and  capital  expenditures.  At July 3,  1999,  the net assets of the
Company include net assets of the wholly owned  subsidiary DMI of  approximately
$50 million which are subject to the restrictions described above.

Total interest expense incurred by the Company was $19,929,000,  $23,395,000 and
$23,656,000 in fiscal years 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, of which $302,000
was  capitalized  in fiscal year 1997.  Total  interest paid during fiscal years
1999,  1998  and  1997  was   $18,021,000,   $  21,568,000,   and   $17,546,000,
respectively.

During fiscal year 1997, the Company  acquired  certain  machinery and equipment
under  non-cancelable  operating  leases in  connection  with the  modernization
project  in the woven  fabrics  division.  The  terms  provide  for total  lease
payments of $14 million over a period of five years.

Rent expense relating to all operating  leases of the Company was  approximately
$6,820,000, $7,471,000, $7,179,000 for fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

The carrying value of the Company's revolving credit agreements approximate fair
value since the rates are tied to floating  rates.  At July 3, 1999 the carrying
value of the senior notes was $150,000,000  and the fair value,  based on quoted
market prices was $142,500,000.

The weighted  average  exercise price for all options  outstanding was $3.20 per
share at July 3, 1999.  These options expire on various dates  beginning  August
1999 and ending in August 2003.  The options  generally  become  exercisable  in
equal amounts on the first through fourth anniversaries of the date of grant and
remain  exercisable until the fifth anniversary of the date of grant. The excess
of the fair  market  value of the stock over the  exercise  price at the date of

<PAGE>
grant is  recognized  as  compensation  expense over the period during which the
options become exercisable.  Related compensation expense was $308,000,$223,000,
and $223,000 during fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  Options available
for grant at July 3, 1999,  June 27,  1998 and June 28,  1997 and were  127,887,
221,700, and 72,450, respectively.

The Incentive Stock Award Plan was approved by the  shareholders in fiscal 1991,
and amended in fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1998. The Plan gives the Company the right
to grant awards for up to 1,100,000  shares of Common Stock to employees.  Prior
to the fiscal 1996 and 1998 amendments, the Company could grant awards for up to
300,000 and 800,000 shares, respectively.

Under the  Incentive  Stock  Award  Plan  awards  are  granted  for the right to
purchase shares for $.01 per share. Awards were granted to purchase up to 2,950,
36,791,  and 282,481  during fiscal 1999,  1998 and 1997,  respectively.  During
fiscal 1999,  rights to purchase 24,833 shares were cancelled.  Generally,  each
award  vests  based in part on  service  and in part on  achievement  of certain
performance goals over a three-year period. Compensation expense for the service
portion  is  based on the  market  price  of the  stock  on the  date of  award.
Compensation  expense  for the  performance  portion is based on the  prevailing
market price of the stock.  Tax benefits  arising from the  difference in market
value  between the date of grant and the date of  issuance  of Common  Stock are
recorded as an adjustment to additional  paid-in capital.  Compensation  expense
for the Company's  incentive  stock award plan including  related tax assistance
was  $977,000,  $775,000 and $612,000 for the fiscal years 1999,  1998 and 1997,
respectively. Shares available for grant at July 3, 1999 were 180,002.

The Company has adopted the disclosure only provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting  Standards No. 123,  "Accounting  for Stock-Based  Compensation."  If
compensation  cost for the Company's two stock plans,  described above, had been
determined  based on the  provisions of SFAS No. 123, net income would have been
approximately the same as that reported by the Company.

On September 15, 1998, the Company announced a plan to repurchase,  from time to
time, up to 2.5 million shares of the Company's  outstanding stock at prices and
at times in the  discretion  of the Company's  top  management.  Through July 3,
1999, the Company had purchased for retirement  approximately one million shares
of its common stock at a total cost of about $4.5 million.


The  shareholders  have  authorized  the  Board of  Directors  to issue up to 10
million  shares of preferred  stock with a maximum  aggregate  par value of $250
million,  and to  establish  the  particular  terms  including  dividend  rates,
conversion  prices,  voting rights,  redemption  prices and similar matters.  No
shares of preferred stock have been issued.

NOTE F -- INCOME TAXES

For fiscal  1999,  the  Company  had a regular  tax loss of $11  million  and an
alternative  minimum  tax (AMT) tax loss of $12  million.  At July 3, 1999,  the
Company had regular tax loss  carry-forwards of $66 million for federal purposes
and $157 million for state  purposes.  Of the federal loss  carry-forward,  $9.2
million  resulted from the 1988  acquisition  of Stanwood  Corporation  and will
expire in years 2002 and 2003.

<PAGE>
The Company's gross deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation  allowance to
net  deferred tax assets  considered  by  management  to be more likely than not
realizable.  The ultimate  realization  of deferred tax assets is dependent upon
the  generation  of future  taxable  income  during the  periods in which  those
temporary  differences  become  deductible.  The valuation  allowance  increased
$8,744,000 during fiscal 1999.

Significant  components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities are
as follows:

The Company made no estimated income tax payments for fiscal 1999, 1998 or 1997.
The carry-back of net operating  losses for fiscal 1997 resulted in a tax refund
of $2.2 million in fiscal  1998.  A tax refund of $600  thousand was received in
fiscal 1999 as a result of a federal examination of previous tax years.

NOTE G -- OPERATIONS BY INDUSTRY SEGMENT

Industry segment  information for the Company presented on page 8 of this Annual
Report is an integral part of these financial statements.

NOTE H -- DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND RESTRUCTURING AND IMPAIRMENT CHARGES

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

As a result of the history of operating losses at Stevcoknit  Fabrics'  knitting
and knit finishing plants, and at the Nautilus  International  fitness equipment
business, the Company made the decision on March 3, 1998 to close its Stevcoknit
Fabrics  division  and to sell  its  Nautilus  International  division  (fitness
equipment).   Accordingly,  operating  results  for  those  segments  have  been
reclassified and reported as discontinued operations.

In connection with the decision to discontinue these businesses, the Company, in
fiscal 1998, recognized an estimated loss on disposal of discontinued operations
of $37  million  including  a provision  of $8.0  million for losses  during the
phase-out period and an income tax benefit of $1.2 million.  In fiscal 1999, the
Company  increased  the  estimate of the  after-tax  cost to  discontinue  these
businesses  and  recognized  after tax charges of $4.4  million and $3.5 million
during the first and second  quarters  of fiscal  year 1999,  respectively,  and
decreased  the estimate by $1.6 million in the third  quarter of fiscal 1999. In
the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999, the company adjusted the estimated tax impact
of  these  disposals,  resulting  in a $.7  million  charge.  Proceeds  from the
liquidation of these divisions have been used to reduce indebtedness and to make
capital expenditures.

The assets of discontinued  businesses at July 3, 1999 and June 27, 1998, are as
follows:

NOTE I -- EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

On September 27, 1997 the Delta Woodside  Industries  Employee  Retirement  Plan
merged into the Delta Woodside  Employee  Savings and Investment  Plan (401(k)).
Future  contributions  to the  401(k)  plan  in lieu  of a  contribution  to the
Retirement  Plan  will be made in cash  and not in  stock.  In the  401(k)  plan
employees may elect to convert Delta Woodside  Industries  stock to other funds,
but may not increase the amount of stock in their account.  Each participant has
the right to direct the trustee as to the manner in which  shares held are to be
voted.  The  Retirement  Plan  qualified  as an Employee  Stock  Ownership  Plan
("ESOP")  under  the  Internal  Revenue  Code as a  defined  contribution  plan.
Contributions  of $328,000 and $400,000 were allocated to participants in fiscal
1998 and fiscal  1997,  respectively.  During  fiscal 1999,  1998 and 1997,  the
Company contributed $736,000, $615,000 and $648,000, respectively, to the 401(k)
plan to match employee contributions. In addition to the matching contributions,
the Company  also made a  discretionary  contribution  of $434,000 to the 401(k)
plan in fiscal 1999.

The Company  also  maintains  a 501(c)(9)  trust,  the Delta  Woodside  Employee
Benefit Plan and Trust ("Trust").  The Trust collects both employer and employee
contributions  from the Company and makes  disbursements  for health  claims and
other qualified benefits.

The Company has a Deferred  Compensation  Plan which permits certain  management
employees  to defer a  portion  of  their  compensation.  Deferred  compensation
accounts are credited  with  interest and are  distributable  after  retirement,
disability or employment termination.  As of July 3, 1999 and June 27, 1998, the
total liability amounted to $7,862,000 and $7,204,000, respectively. The Company
insured the lives of certain  management  employees  to assist in funding of the
deferred compensation liability. The Company is the owner and beneficiary of the
insurance policies.


NOTE J -- AFFILIATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company leases its corporate office space from a corporation  whose stock is
owned  one-half  each by the  president  and a vice  president  of the  Company.
Additional office space and retail store space is leased from the executive vice
president.  Under  the  leases,  the  Company  made  payments  of  approximately
$169,000,  $248,000  and  $254,000  for the 1999,  1998 and 1997  fiscal  years,
respectively.



NOTE K -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company has  entered  into  agreements,  and has fixed  prices,  to purchase
cotton for use in its manufacturing operations. At July 3, 1999 minimum payments
under these contracts with non-cancelable contract terms were $42 million.

During  fiscal 2000,  the Company plans to spend  approximately  $12 million for
capital improvements and to maintain its existing facilities.

The  Company's   previously  owned  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
hazardous waste 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  sold in 1990
pursuant  to the  terms of an order of the  United  States  Bankruptcy  Court to
another corporation, the stock of which was subsequently acquired by the Company
in January 1993.

<PAGE>
At the North Carolina site, the Selling Corporations is listed as a "de Minimis"
party,  and at the South Carolina site, the Selling  Corporation has been listed
as an "insolvent" party and would appear to qualify as a "de Minimis" party. The
Company  believes that the Selling  Corporation's  share of the  liabilities  at
either of these sites will be immaterial. At the Mississippi site, the PRP group
has  completed  the  surface  removal  action  and  is  investigating  soil  and
groundwater  contamination,  both at the site and in the  surrounding  area. The
Company's latest information is that the Selling  Corporation is ranked eleventh
out of a total of over 300 PRPs in  contributions  of material to the site, and,
based on volume,  the Selling  Corporation  contributed  approximately 3% of the
site's material. To the Company's knowledge,  latest estimates of costs to clean
up the  site  range  up to $4  million.  Trichlomethane,  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 no assurance can be provided,  the Company believes that it is shielded
from liability at these three sites by the order of the United States Bankruptcy
Court  pursuant  to  which  the  Selling  Corporation  sold  its  assets  to the
corporation  subsequently  acquired by the  Company.  The Company has denied any
responsibility  at these three sites, has declined to participate as a member of
the  respective  PRP groups,  and has not provided for any reserves for costs or
liabilities attributable to the Selling Corporation.

Two of Delta Mills Marketing  Company's South Carolina plants, the Delta 2 and 3
finishing  plants,  have been unable to comply with  certain  toxicity and other
permit-related  limits contained in a National Pollutant  Discharge  Elimination
System ("NPDES") permit held by the Company.  Additionally,  high nitrate levels
have been  observed at the spray field for these  plants.  To attempt to achieve
compliance  with the  non-toxicity  NPDES permit limits,  the Company  completed
certain upgrades in October 1998 at a cost of approximately $2.3 million.  Since
then, the Company has had two non-toxicity  permit  violations  resulting in the
payment of a de minimis  penalty.  The Company  believes that it will be able to
comply with the  non-toxicity  permit  limits.  The Company is working  with the
appropriate  state agency to address the toxicity and nitrate  issues.  Although
there is no  assurance  that the Company will be  successful,  and it could face
additional administrative penalties if it is not, the Company does not currently
believe these matters will have a material adverse impact on the Company.

The Company is currently assessing groundwater contamination at its discontinued
Greensboro, North Carolina plant. The Company believes, however, that the source
of the  contamination  was removed  several years ago by the prior owner and the
Company  currently  has no plans to  remediate  any  groundwater  contamination.
Although no assurance can be provided,  the Company does not  currently  believe
that this matter will have a material adverse impact on the Company.

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

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company  recognized  impairment of
the excess of cost over assigned  value of net assets  acquired in the Duck Head
Apparel  division and of certain real  property in the Delta  Apparel  Division,
resulting in pretax charges totaling $14 million. In the same quarter,  the Duck
Head Apparel  division also took pretax charges of $14.7 million  resulting from
reducing  the  estimated  useful lives of certain  categories  of assets to more
closely reflect current industry standards, increasing inventory reserves due to
poor sales levels, writing off store fixtures at former customers' premises, and
reducing production capacity to more closely match reduced sales levels. Also in
the fourth  quarter,  the Delta  Apparel  division  took pretax  charges of $3.1
million to increase  reserves on certain  discontinued and slow moving inventory
categories, and to increase accounts receivable reserves.

During the third  quarter of fiscal  1999,  the Company  recorded a $2.6 million
pre-tax charge to adjust the carrying value of certain plant assets.

The quarterly impact of discontinued operations is discussed in Note H above.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998,  the Company made certain  adjustments
resulting  from changes in estimates of inventory  losses that were  material to
the results of operations.  These changes  resulted in a reduction in net income
of $1.7 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998.

<PAGE>
During the third quarter of fiscal 1998,  the Company  recognized  restructuring
and impairment charges of $37 million in connection with discontinued operations
described in Note H. In addition, the Company recognized impairment of cost over
assigned value of net assets in the Delta Apparel  division by charging  pre-tax
income for $7.5  million.  In the same  quarter,  the  Company  also  recognized
pre-tax  restructuring  charges of $1.6 million  primarily related to closure of
certain facilities at Duck Head Apparel.
