DELTA  WOODSIDE  INDUSTRIES,  INC.

NOTES  TO  CONDENSED  CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS  (UNAUDITED)

October  2,  1999

NOTE  A--BASIS  OF  PRESENTATION

The  accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Delta
Woodside  Industries, Inc. ("the Company") have been prepared in accordance with
generally  accepted  accounting principles for interim financial information and
with  the  instructions  to  Form  10-Q  and  Article  10  of  Regulation  S-X.
Accordingly,  they  do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by  generally  accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In  the  opinion  of  management,  all  adjustments  (consisting  of only normal
recurring  accruals)  considered  necessary  for  a  fair presentation have been
included.  Operating  results for the three months ended October 2, 1999 are not
necessarily  indicative  of the results that may be expected for the year ending
July  1,  2000.  For  further  information,  refer to the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form
10-K  for  the  year  ended  July  3,  1999.

NOTE  B--DISCONTINUED  OPERATIONS

On  March 3, 1998, the Company made the decision to close its Stevcoknit Fabrics
division  and  sell  its  Nautilus  International  division (fitness equipment).
Accordingly,  results  of  those  segments  have  been  reported as discontinued
operations. The Stevcoknit Fabrics division was closed during the fourth quarter
of  fiscal  1998 and the Company sold the Nautilus International division during
the third quarter of fiscal 1999.  During the first quarter of fiscal year 1999,
the  Company increased the estimate of the cost to close discontinued businesses
and  recognized a charge of $4.4 million in discontinued operations, including a
tax  benefit  of  $.6  million.

On  October  4,  1999,  the  Company  announced  its decision to spin-off to its
current  shareholders,  as separate public companies, its Delta Apparel and Duck
Head  Apparel divisions.  Since these businesses will no longer be a part of the
Company,  the  results  of these segments have been reclassified and reported as
discontinued  operations.

The  net  assets  of  discontinued  businesses  are  as  follows (in thousands):

</TABLE>

Amortization  in  the  quarter ended September 26, 1999 included $8.9 million in
impairment charges at the Nautilus International division.  Changes in operating
assets  in  the  quarter  ended  September  26,  1999  included $10.9 million in
reductions  of  accounts  receivable  and  inventory  at  the Stevcoknit Fabrics
division.

NOTE  C-INCOME  TAXES

The effective income tax rate on income from continuing operations for the three
months  ended  October  2, 1999 is 27%, compared to a negative 3% for the fiscal
year  ended July 3, 1999.  The Company expects that any earnings for fiscal year
2000  will  permit  it  to  reduce  the valuation allowance against deferred tax
assets,  resulting  in  a  lower  income  tax  expense  for  fiscal  year  2000.

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

On  August  25,  1997 a subsidiary of the Company, Delta Mills, Inc., obtained a
secured  five-year $100 million revolving bank credit facility.  At each of July
3,  1999  and  October 2, 1999, no amounts were outstanding under this facility.
The  subsidiary's  first  fiscal  2000 quarter operating results have caused the
subsidiary  not  to  be in compliance at the end of that quarter with the credit
facility's  covenants  respecting  minimum  interest  coverage  ratio,  maximum
leverage ratio and minimum tangible net worth.  The same covenants are contained
in,  and  therefore  a  default  also  exists  under,  operating  leases  of the
subsidiary  with  an  aggregate  outstanding lease balance of approximately $5.5
million.  The  subsidiary  intends to negotiate with its bank lenders amendments
of  the  applicable  covenants  (which  will correspondingly amend the operating
lease  covenants)  together with a reduction in the borrowing availability under
the  bank credit facility to a level more consistent with the subsidiary's needs
and  plans.  The Company believes that the subsidiary will be able to enter into
such  an  agreement  on terms satisfactory to it.  Accordingly, the Company does
not believe that these credit facility or operating lease covenant defaults will
have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  the  Company.

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

The  following  discussion  contains  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  Quarterly  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.

On  October  4,  1999,  the  Company  announced  its decision to spin-off to its
current  shareholders,  as separate public companies, its Delta Apparel and Duck
Head  Apparel divisions.  Since these businesses will no longer be a part of the
Company,  the  results  of these segments have been reclassified and reported as
discontinued  operations.  Accordingly,  for  financial  reporting  purposes the
Delta  Mills Marketing Company division is the only continuing operating segment
of  the  Company.

Net  sales  from  continuing operations in the first quarter of fiscal year 2000
were  $57.3  million  as  compared  to $83.3 million in the first quarter of the
prior  fiscal  year,  a  decrease  of  31%.

Gross  profit  from  continuing  operations  declined to $6.1 million from $16.9
million  and  the  gross  margin  declined  to  10.7%  from  20.3%.

Operating profits from continuing operations in the current quarter decreased to
$2.4  million  as  compared  to  $12.0  million in the same quarter of the prior
fiscal  year.  This decline was due to the gross margin decline described above,
somewhat  offset  by  reductions  in  selling,  general and administrative costs
compared  to  the  same  quarter  of  the  prior  fiscal  year.

Income  (loss)  from continuing operations declined to a loss of $1.4 million in
the current quarter as compared to a profit of  $7.0 million in the same quarter
of  the prior fiscal year.  The decline in operating profits was somewhat offset
by  a  decrease  in  interest  expense  due to lower debt levels. On a per share
basis,  loss  from  continuing  operations  for the current quarter were $.06 on
23,799,000 average shares outstanding as compared to income of $.28 per share on
the  24,657,000  average  shares  outstanding  in  the same quarter of the prior
fiscal  year.

During the prior year quarter, the Company recognized a net loss of $4.4 million
on  disposal  of  discontinued  operations,  which included the recognition of a
reduction  in  the estimated net proceeds from the anticipated sale of Nautilus,
and  a  reduction  in  the  estimated  costs  to  close  the  Stevcoknit Fabrics
operation.

Income from operations of discontinued operations, net of income taxes, was $1.6
million  in  the  current  quarter as compared to $1.0 million in the prior year
quarter.  Included  in  operations  of  discontinued operations, for each of the
current  year  quarter  and the prior year quarter, are the results of the Delta
Apparel  and  Duck  Head  Apparel  divisions.  For  the  current  quarter  in
discontinued  operations,  Delta  Apparel had operating profits of $1.8 million,
Duck  Head  Apparel  had  operating profits of $.4 million, and total income tax
expense  of  $.6  million.  For  the  same  quarter  in the prior fiscal year in
discontinued  operations,  Delta  Apparel  had operating profits of $.6 million,
Duck  Head  Apparel  had operating profits of $1.5 million, and total income tax
expense  was  $1.0  million.  The improvement from the same quarter in the prior
year  was  due  to  lower  selling,  general,  and administrative costs at Delta
Apparel  and  a  lower effective tax rate offsetting a lower gross profit at the
Duck  Head  division  caused  by  lower  sales.


<PAGE>
Net  income  in the latest quarter was $.1 million or $.01 per share as compared
to net income of $3.7 million or $.15 per share in the same quarter of the prior
fiscal  year.

Delta  Mills  Marketing  Company,  which  manufactures  and sells finished woven
fabrics,  had  net  sales  for  the  first  quarter of fiscal year 2000 of $57.3
million  as  compared  to  $83.3 million in the same quarter of the prior fiscal
year,  a  decrease  of  31%.  Sales  decreases were in both cotton and synthetic
fabric  volume  with  the  principal decline in synthetic fabric unit sales. The
change in synthetic fabric sales is related to weak market demand as a result of
increased  import  pressure.  The  Company  is in the process of downsizing this
portion of the business in order to match capacity to current market demand.  To
a  lesser  extent,  market  demand  for  cotton  twill fabric has also declined.
Management  believes  this decline in cotton twills, the Company's core product,
is  the  result of garment manufacturers and the related sector moving through a
backlog of inventory that has resulted in a slow down of replenishment orders to
the  fabric supplier. Gross profit as a percent of sales was 10.7% for the first
quarter  of  fiscal year 2000 compared to 20.3% in the prior year quarter.  This
decline was due primarily to the sales volume declines and related manufacturing
efficiency  losses.  Also  contributing  to  this  decline  in gross profit were
losses  incurred  in  the first quarter of fiscal year 2000 as downsizing of the
synthetic  fabric  facilities  continued in order to match capacity with reduced
demand.  In  addition,  the  prior  year  quarter included an approximately $1.4
million  gain  from the USDA cotton rebate program that was not in effect during
the  first quarter of the current year. Selling, general and administrative cost
were  $2.7  million and 4.8% of sales compared to $3.8 million and 4.6% of sales
in  the prior year quarter.  The division's, and the Company's, order backlog at
October  2, 1999 was $59.2 million, down from the $93.2 million order backlog at
September  26,  1998.  The  decline  was  spread  throughout  all product lines.

Delta  Apparel, the Company's T-shirt and fleece apparel division, had sales for
the  first  quarter  of  fiscal  year 2000 of $28.7 million as compared to $24.9
million  in the same quarter of the prior fiscal year, an increase of 15%.  This
increase  was  due to higher unit volume at lower average selling prices.  Gross
profit  and  gross  profit margin for the first quarter of fiscal year 2000 were
$3.7  million  and  13.0%,  respectively, as compared to $4.1 million and 16.5%,
respectively,  in the prior year quarter.  The lower average selling prices were
largely  offset  by  lower  manufacturing  costs although the prior year quarter
included  an  approximately $.9 million gain from the USDA cotton rebate program
that  was  not  in effect during the first quarter of the current year.  For the
first  quarter  of  fiscal  2000,  Delta  Apparel's  selling,  general,  and
administrative  expenses were $1.9 million or 44% lower than the same quarter of
the  prior  year.  This  reduction  is  the  result  of significant cost cutting
initiatives.  These  cost  reductions  more  than  offset  the  decline in gross
profit, resulting in an improvement in operating profits from $.6 million in the
first  quarter  of  fiscal  year  1999  to  $1.8 million in the first quarter of
fiscal  2000.

In  Duck Head Apparel Company, the Company's branded apparel business, sales for
the  three months ended October 2, 1999 totaled $ 16.4 million, as compared to $
22.5  million for the three months ended September 26, 1998, a decrease of  27%.
The dollar decrease reflected a decrease in unit shipments, which was the result
of  the loss of three key "Duck Head" branded customers, reduced volume at other
accounts  and  the  exit  from  certain  segments of the Company's private label
business.  There  were no sales to the three key lost customers during the three
months  ended October 2, 1999.  During the three months ended September 26, 1998
sales  to  these  three  customers were $1.8 million.  Additionally, there was a
decrease  in  retail  sales,  which  resulted from a combination of a comparable
store sales decrease of 8% and fewer stores being open in the three months ended
October  2,  1999  as  compared  with the three months ended September 26, 1998.
During  the three months ended October 2, 1999 the Company did not open or close
any  stores and at October 2, 1999 the Company operated 24 retail outlet stores.
Gross  profit and gross profit margin for the three months ended October 2, 1999
were  $4.8  million and 29%, respectively, as compared to $7.4 million and 32 %,
respectively, for the three months ended September 26, 1998, a decrease in gross
profit  of  35%.  This  decrease  in gross profit was due primarily to the lower
sales  described  above. During the three months ended October 2, 1999, selling,
general  and  administrative  expenses  were  $ 4.8 million, as compared to $6.0
million  during  three  months  ended  September  26,  1998, a decrease of  $1.2
million.  The  dollar  decrease  was primarily due to reductions in all selling,
general  and  administrative  expense  categories,  except for marketing related
expenses,  which  increased.  Sales decreased at a higher rate than did selling,
general  and  administrative  expenses,  resulting  in  selling,  general  and
administrative  expenses  as  a  percentage  of sales being higher.  The Company
expects  this  lower  selling,  general  and  administrative  expense  level  to
continue. As a result of the factors described above, operating earnings for the
division  for  the  three  months  ended  October  2,  1999 were $.4 million, as
compared to $ 1.5 million of operating earnings for three months ended September
26,  1998.

Inventories  were  unchanged  at  $44  million at October 2, 1999 as compared to
inventories  at  July  3,  1999.  Accounts receivable declined to $56 million at
October  2,  1999  as  compared to $67 million at July 3, 1999.  This decline is
directly  related  to  the  decline  in  sales.

The effective income tax rate on income from continuing operations for the three
months  ended  October  2, 1999 is 27%, compared to a negative 3% for the fiscal
year  ended July 3, 1999.  The Company expects that any earnings for fiscal year
2000  will  permit  it  to  reduce  the valuation allowance against deferred tax
assets,  resulting  in  a  lower  income  tax  expense  for  fiscal  year  2000.

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
properly  recognize  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 a remediation plan.  The
Company's Year 2000 plan includes 1) Identifying 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
compliance, and testing contingency plans. 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,
which  should  be  in  place  prior  to  the  end of 1999, is approximately $1.2
million.  In  addition,  the  Company  spent  approximately $150,000 on software
improvements  and  remediation  work in fiscal year 1998, $1.5 million in fiscal
year  1999  and  an  additional  $.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal year
2000.  No  further  significant  spending  is  anticipated  for  remediation and
software improvements.  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
of  October  2,  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.

On  August  25,  1997 a subsidiary of the Company, Delta Mills, Inc., obtained a
secured  five-year $100 million revolving bank credit facility.  At each of July
3,  1999  and  October 2, 1999, no amounts were outstanding under this facility.
The  subsidiary's  first  fiscal  2000 quarter operating results have caused the
subsidiary  not  to  be in compliance at the end of that quarter with the credit
facility's  covenants  respecting  minimum  interest  coverage  ratio,  maximum
leverage ratio and minimum tangible net worth.  The same covenants are contained
in,  and  therefore  a  default  also  exists  under,  operating  leases  of the
subsidiary  with  an  aggregate  outstanding lease balance of approximately $5.5
million.  The  subsidiary  intends to negotiate with its bank lenders amendments
of  the  applicable  covenants  (which  will correspondingly amend the operating
lease  covenants)  together with a reduction in the borrowing availability under
the  bank credit facility to a level more consistent with the subsidiary's needs
and  plans.  The Company believes that the subsidiary will be able to enter into
such  an  agreement  on terms satisfactory to it.  Accordingly, the Company does
not believe that these credit facility or operating lease covenant defaults will
have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  the  Company.

The  Company  believes  that  cash  flow  generated  by its operations and funds
available  under its current credit facilities will be sufficient to service its
debt,  to  satisfy  its day-to-day working capital requirements, and to fund its
planned  capital  expenditures.

Item  3.  QUANTITATIVE  AND  QUALITATIVE  DISCLOSURES  ABOUT  MARKET  RISK

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.  Daily price
fluctuations  are  minimal, yet long-term trends in price movement can result in
unfavorable pricing of cotton. 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.
As  of  October  2,  1999,  a 10% decline in market price of the Company's fixed
price  contracts  would have had a negative impact of approximately $3.9 million
on  the  value  of  the  contracts.
