DELTA  WOODSIDE  INDUSTRIES,  INC.

NOTES  TO  CONDENSED  CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS  (UNAUDITED)

April  1,  2000

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  nine months ended April 1, 2000 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.  The Company increased the estimate of the
after-tax cost to close discontinued businesses and recognized after tax charges
on discontinued businesses 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.

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.  In  the  quarter  ended  April  1,  2000, the Company
recorded  pre-tax  expenses related to the spin-off totaling $4.4 million.  $1.9
million  of  those  expenses  were  deferred  until the fourth quarter to offset
projected  operating  profits  of  Delta  Apparel  and  Duck  Head.

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

division.  Proceeds  from  dispositions  in the nine months ended March 27, 1999
included  $10.2  million  from  the sale of assets of the Nautilus International
division.

NOTE  C-INCOME  TAXES

The  effective income tax rate on losses from continuing operations for the nine
months  ended  April  1, 2000 is an 11% benefit, compared to a 3% expense on the
losses  from  continuing  operations  for  the  fiscal  year ended July 3, 1999.
Although  both  periods  reflect a pretax loss, a higher benefit results for the
nine  months  ended  April 1, 2000 due to the release of the valuation allowance
which  was  originally  set  up  against  deferred  tax  assets.

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

On  March  31, 2000 a subsidiary of the Company, Delta Mills, Inc., replaced its
existing  bank  credit  facility with a new revolving bank facility.  Borrowings
under  the new credit facility will be based on eligible accounts receivable and
inventory  of  Delta  Mills,  subject  to a maximum availability limit, which is
initially  $65  million.  The  new  credit facility has a three year term and is
secured  by  the accounts receivable, inventory and capital stock of Delta Mills
and  Delta  Mills  Marketing,  Inc. (Delta Mills' wholly owned subsidiary).  The


                                        8
<PAGE>
interest  rate on the new credit facility is based on a spread over either LIBOR
or  a  base  rate.  In  connection  with  this  new credit facility, Delta Mills
terminated  its  prior  bank  credit  facility.  On  April 1, 2000 there were no
borrowings  under  either  the prior credit facility or the new credit facility.

The  new  credit  facility  contains  restrictive  covenants  which, among other
matters,  requires that Delta Mills' Maximum Leverage Ratio not exceed specified
ratios.  The  agreement  also  restricts  additional indebtedness, dividends and
capital  expenditures.  The  new  credit  facility  does  not  contain  certain
restrictions  that  were  present  in  the  credit  facility  it  replaces.

During  the  three  months ended April 1, 2000, the Delta Mills, Inc. subsidiary
acquired  for  $20,897,279  a portion of its 9 5/8% Senior Notes.  The aggregate
principal  face amount of the acquired Senior Notes was $27,495,000.  Subsequent
to  the  end of the third fiscal quarter, Delta Mills acquired additional senior
notes  with  an  aggregate  principal  face  value  of $2,926,000 for the sum of
$2,069,598.


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 costs, future
capital  expenditures,  business  strategy,  competitive  strengths, competitive
weaknesses, goals, plans, references to future success or difficulties and other
similar  information,  are  forward-looking  statements.  The  words "estimate",
"project",  "anticipate", "expect", "intend", "believe" and similar expressions,
and  discussions  of  strategy  and  intentions,  are  intended  to  identify
forward-looking  statements.

The  forward-looking  statements  in  this  Quarterly  Report  are  based on the
Company's expectations and are necessarily dependent upon assumptions, estimates
and  data  that  the  Company  believes  are  reasonable and accurate but may be
incorrect, incomplete or imprecise.  Forward looking statements are also 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, and similar items).
Accordingly,  any forward-looking statements do not purport to be predictions of
future  events  or  circumstances  and  may  not  be  realized.

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.  On  December  30, 1999 the Company announced that the
corporations  that  will conduct each of these businesses had filed registration
statements  under  the  Securities Exchange  Act  of  1934, as amended, with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (File  Numbers 1-15583 and 1-15585).  Amended
Registration  statements have also been filed on March 30, 2000 and May 3, 2000.
The Company currently anticipates that  the record date for these spin-offs will
be a date in June 2000 and that the spin-offs will be completed  in  June  2000.

Since the Duck Head and Delta Apparel 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 third quarter of fiscal year 2000
were  $62.1  million  as  compared  to $72.9 million in the third quarter of the
prior  fiscal year, a decrease of 15%.  For the nine months ended April 1, 2000,
net sales were $177.5 million, a decline of 24% from $235.0 million in the first
nine  months  of  the  prior  fiscal  year.

Gross profit from continuing operations declined to $9.5 million for the quarter
ended  April 1, 2000 from $12.5 million in the third quarter of the prior fiscal
year  and  the  gross  margin declined to 15.3% from 17.1%.  For the nine months


                                        9
<PAGE>
ended  April  1, 2000, gross profit from continuing operations declined to $21.9
million  or 12.3% of sales as compared to $44.9 million or 19.1% of sales in the
same  period  of  the  prior  fiscal  year.

Operating profits from continuing operations in the current quarter decreased to
$5.2 million as compared to $8.2 million in the same quarter of the prior fiscal
year.  Operating  profits from continuing operations in the first nine months of
fiscal  2000 decreased to $8.9 million as compared to $30.8 million in the first
nine  months of fiscal 1999.  The declines were due to the gross margin declines
described above for both the quarter and the nine month period, somewhat offset,
in  the third quarter and nine months periods, by reductions in selling, general
and  administrative costs compared to the comparable periods in the prior fiscal
year.

Income  from  continuing operations increased to a profit of $1.9 million in the
current  quarter as compared to a profit of  $0.2 million in the same quarter of
the  prior fiscal year.  The decline in operating profits was offset in the most
recent  quarter  by  a decrease in net interest expense due to lower debt levels
and by a tax benefit as compared to tax expense in the same quarter of the prior
year.  On  a  per share basis, income from continuing operations for the current
quarter  was $.08 on 23,514,000 average shares outstanding as compared to income
of  $.01  per  share  on  the  24,057,000 average shares outstanding in the same
quarter  of  the  prior  fiscal  year.  For  the nine months ended April 1, 2000
income  (loss)  from continuing operations declined to a loss of $3.4 million as
compared  to  a  profit  of $11.4 million in the same period of the prior fiscal
year.  On a per share basis, loss from continuing operations for the nine months
of  the  current  fiscal  year was $.14 per share on 23.7 million average shares
outstanding  as  compared  to a profit of $.47 per share on 24.3 million average
shares  in  the  nine  months  of  the  prior  year.

During  the  quarter  ended  April  1,  2000,  the  Company's  Delta Mills, Inc.
subsidiary  acquired  for $20,897,279 a portion of its 9 5/8% Senior Notes.  The
aggregate  principal  face  amount of the acquired Senior Notes was $27,495,000.
These  acquisitions  resulted in an extraordinary gain on the retirement of debt
in  the  amount  of $5.6 million, or $.24 per share.  Included in this amount is
the  write  off  of deferred loan cost of $0.7 million and income tax expense of
$0.3  million.  Subsequent  to  the end of the third fiscal quarter, Delta Mills
acquired  additional  senior  notes  with  an  aggregate principal face value of
$2,962,000 for the sum of $2,069,598.

During the prior year quarter, the Company recognized net income of $1.6 million
on  disposal  of  discontinued  operations,  which  reflected an increase in the
anticipated  proceeds  from  the liquidation of Stevcoknit Fabrics Company.  The
prior  year  nine month $6.2 million loss on disposal of discontinued operations
included  reductions in the estimated net proceeds from the sale of Nautilus and
a  reduction  in  the estimated costs to close the Stevcoknit Fabrics operation.

Loss  from  operations of discontinued operations, net of income taxes, was $0.5
million  in  the  current  quarter  as compared to a loss of $4.5 million in the
prior  year  quarter.  Income from operations of discontinued operations, net of
income  taxes, was $2.6 million in the current nine months as compared to a loss
of  $7.0  million  in  the  prior  year  nine months.  Included in operations of
discontinued  operations,  for  each of the current year quarter and nine months
and the prior year quarter and nine months, are the results of the Delta Apparel
and  Duck  Head  Apparel  divisions.  For  the  current  quarter in discontinued
operations,  the  Company recognized in expense $2.5 million in costs associated
with  the spin-off.  Excluding this expense, Delta Apparel had operating profits
of  $2.9  million  and  Duck  Head Apparel had operating losses of $0.4 million.
Total income tax expense for the quarter was $0.5 million.  For the same quarter
in the prior fiscal year in discontinued operations, Delta Apparel had operating
losses  of $3.4 million, Duck Head Apparel had operating losses of $4.1 million,
and  total income tax benefit was $2.9 million.  For the nine months ended April
1,  2000 in discontinued operations, Delta Apparel had operating profits of $5.9
million,  Duck  Head  Apparel  had operating losses of $0.6 million, the Company
recognized  spin-off  expenses  of $2.5 million and total income tax expense was
$0.2  million.  For  the  nine  months  in the prior fiscal year in discontinued
operations,  Delta  Apparel  had  operating  losses  of  $4.1 million, Duck Head
Apparel  had  operating losses of $5.9 million, and total income tax benefit was
$3.0  million.

Net  income in the latest quarter was $7.0 million or $.30 per share as compared
to  net  loss of $2.7 million or $.11 per share in the same quarter of the prior
fiscal  year.  Net  income  for  the  nine  months  ended April 1, 2000 was $4.7
million  or  $.20  per share as compared to the net loss of $1.9 million or $.08
per  share  for  the  nine  months  ended  March  27,  1999.

Delta  Mills  Marketing  Company,  which  manufactures  and sells finished woven
fabrics,  had  net  sales  for  the  third  quarter of fiscal year 2000 of $62.1
million  as  compared  to  $72.9 million in the same quarter of the prior fiscal
year,  a  decrease  of  15%.  For the nine months ended April 1, 2000, net sales
were  $177.5 million as compared to $235.4 million for the same period of fiscal
1999,  a  decrease  of  25%.  The  decrease  in  sales  over last year's quarter


                                       10
<PAGE>
reflects the elimination of the Company's greige business, the downsizing of the
synthetic  product  line,  and  some downward adjustment in cotton product sales
that  started  in  the  first half of the year due to lower than expected demand
from certain customers.  Sales of  cotton products have decreased 15 % over last
year's  quarter  but  are improved over the previous two quarters of the current
year.  The  improvement  in  the cotton product sales began in the third quarter
and  production for cottons was at or near full capacity for the last two months
of  the  quarter.  The synthetic product lines were running at approximately 90%
of the downsized capacity.  Synthetic sales were down approximately 15% over the
last  year's  quarter.  Sales  decreases  for first nine months of the year were
primarily  caused  by the same factors discussed above, except that the downward
adjustments  were  more  dramatic  in  the first half of the year.  For the nine
months ended April 1, 2000, cotton sales were down 19% and synthetics sales were
down  44%  from the nine months ended March 27, 1999.  Gross profit as a percent
of  sales  was 15.3% for the third quarter of fiscal year 2000 compared to 17.1%
in  the prior year quarter.  Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 12.3% for
the  nine months ended April 1, 2000 as compared to 19.1% for the same period of
fiscal  1999.  In  addition  to the sales volume declines described above, gross
profit  declined  as  a  result  of  some  raw  material  price increases in the
synthetic  product  line  and  increased  price  pressure  in the cotton product
category.  Selling,  general and administrative costs for the third quarter were
$3.0 million and 4.8% of sales compared to $4.0 million and 5.5% of sales in the
prior  year quarter.  Year to date selling, general and administrative costs for
fiscal  2000  were $8.5 million or 4.8% of sales as compared to $12.0 million or
5.1%  of  sales  for  the  same  period of fiscal 1999.  The division's, and the
Company's, order backlog at April 1, 2000 was $79.9 million, down from the $83.7
million  order backlog at March 27, 1999.  The decline was spread throughout all
product  lines.

Delta  Apparel, the Company's T-shirt and fleece apparel division, had sales for
the  third  quarter  of  fiscal  year 2000 of $27.3 million as compared to $20.5
million in the same quarter of the prior fiscal year.  Sales for the nine months
ended  April  1, 2000 were $77.5 million as compared to $63.3 in the same period
of  the prior fiscal year.  The increases in both the quarter and the nine month
period  were  due  to  significantly higher unit volume at lower average selling
prices.  Gross  profit  and  gross profit margin for the third quarter of fiscal
year  2000  were  $5.0 million and 18.3%, respectively, as compared to a loss of
$0.7 million and a negative 3.4%, respectively, in the prior year quarter. Gross
profit  and  gross  profit margin for the first nine month period of fiscal year
2000 were $11.7 million and 15.1%, respectively, as compared to $4.6 million and
7.3%  respectively,  in  the  prior  year  nine month period.  The third quarter
improvement  is  partially  due  to  a  $2.6  million adjustment to fixed assets
recorded  in  the third quarter of fiscal 1999. The lower average selling prices
were  largely  offset  by  lower  costs of raw materials and lower manufacturing
costs,  driven  by  improved  manufacturing  efficiencies  and  higher  capacity
utilization  in  the  quarter,  as well as the nine month period.  For the third
quarter  of fiscal 2000, selling, general, and administrative expenses were $2.0
million,  or 7.3% of sales, a decrease of $0.8 million from the prior year third
quarter's selling, general and administrative expenses of $2.8 million, or 13.7%
of  sales.  For  the  nine  month  period  ended  April 1, 2000, Delta Apparel's
selling,  general,  and  administrative  expenses  were $5.7 million, or 7.4% of
sales,  a  decrease  of  $2.8  million  from  the prior year nine month period's
selling,  general and administrative expenses of $8.5 million or 13.4% of sales.
These  decreases  were  due  to  a  number of factors, including lower corporate
overhead,  reduced bad debt expense, lower commission expense and a reduction in
distribution  expense.  This  lower level of selling, general and administrative
spending  is  expected  to  continue  in the future.  As a result of the factors
described  above,  operating profits for the third quarter and first nine months
of  fiscal  year  2000  were  $2.9  million  and  $5.9 million, respectively, as
compared  to  operating  losses  of  $3.4  million and $4.1 million in the third
quarter  and  first  nine  months,  respectively,  of  fiscal  year  1999.

In  Duck  Head  Apparel  Company,  the Company's branded apparel business, sales
totaled  $13.9  million  and  $43.7  million in the third quarter and first nine
months  of  fiscal  2000,  respectively,  a  decrease  of  13.7%  and  21.4%,
respectively,  from  $16.1  million in the same quarter in fiscal 1999 and $55.6
million  in  the  first  nine  months  of  the prior year.  The dollar decreases
reflect  a  decrease  in unit sales, which was the result of the loss of certain
key  "Duck  Head"  branded customers, reduced volume at other accounts, the exit
from  certain portions of the Company's private label business, and higher sales
for  the quarter and lower sales for the nine months at the Company's own retail
outlet  stores.   Gross  profit  for  the third quarter and first nine months of
fiscal  year 2000 were $4.6 million and $13.4 million, respectively, as compared
to  $3.5  million  and $14.2 million for the same periods in fiscal 1999.  Gross
profit  margin  was  33.1%  for  the  third quarter and 30.7% for the first nine
months  of fiscal 2000 as compared to gross profit margin of 21.7% and 25.5% for
the third quarter and first nine months, respectively, of fiscal year 1999.  The
increase  in gross profit and gross profit margin in the third quarter of fiscal
year 2000 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal year 1999 was due to higher
gross profit margins on both wholesale sales and sales through the company's own
retail  outlet  stores.  The  lower gross profit during the first nine months of
fiscal  year  2000  as compared to the first nine months of fiscal year 1999 was
due  to  lower  sales partially offset by higher gross profit margins.  Selling,
general  and  administrative expenses were $5.0 million and $14.5 million in the


                                       11
<PAGE>
third  quarter  and  first  nine  months  of  fiscal  year 2000, respectively as
compared  to  $7.5  million and $20.2 million during the third quarter and first
nine  months,  respectively, of fiscal year 1999.   The decreases were primarily
due to reductions in all selling, general and administrative expense categories.
The Company expects this lower selling, general and administrative expense level
to  continue.   As  a result of the factors described above, operating losses at
Duck  Head Apparel Company for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal
year  2000  were  $0.4  million  and  $0.6  million,  respectively,  as compared
operating losses of $4.1 million and $5.9 million in the third quarter and first
nine  months,  respectively,  of  fiscal  year  1999.

Inventories increased to $47 million at April 1, 2000 as compared to inventories
of  $44 million at July 3, 1999.  Accounts receivable declined to $60 million at
April  1,  2000  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 losses from continuing operations for the nine
months  ended  April  1, 2000 is an 11% benefit, compared to a 3% expense on the
losses  from  continuing  operations  for  the  fiscal  year ended July 3, 1999.
Although  both  periods  reflect a pretax loss, a higher benefit results for the
nine  months  ended  April 1, 2000 due to the release of the valuation allowance
which  was  originally  set  up  against  deferred  tax  assets.

On  March  31, 2000 a subsidiary of the Company, Delta Mills, Inc., replaced its
existing  bank  credit  facility with a new revolving bank facility.  Borrowings
under  the new credit facility will be based on eligible accounts receivable and
inventory  of  Delta  Mills,  subject  to a maximum availability limit, which is
initially  $65  million.  The  new  credit facility has a three year term and is
secured  by  the accounts receivable, inventory and capital stock of Delta Mills
and  Delta  Mills  Marketing,  Inc. (Delta Mills' wholly owned subsidiary).  The
interest  rate on the new credit facility is based on a spread over either LIBOR
or  a  base  rate.  In  connection  with  this  new credit facility, Delta Mills
terminated  its  prior  bank  credit  facility.  On  April 1, 2000 there were no
borrowings  under  either  the prior credit facility or the new credit facility.

The  new  credit  facility  contains  restrictive  covenants  which, among other
matters,  requires that Delta Mills' Maximum Leverage Ratio not exceed specified
ratios.  The  agreement  also  restricts  additional indebtedness, dividends and
capital  expenditures.  The  new  credit  facility  does  not  contain  certain
restrictions  that  were  present  in  the  credit  facility  it  replaces.

On December 13, 1999 the Company announced that its board had approved a plan to
purchase  from  time  to  time  up  to  an  aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of the
Company's  outstanding  stock  at  prices  and at times at the discretion of the
Company's  top  management.  This  stock  repurchase plan replaced the 2,500,000
stock  purchase  plan  announced  by  the Company in September 1998, pursuant to
which  the  Company  had  acquired an aggregate of approximately 979,000 shares.
During  the  quarter  ended  April  1,  2000 the Company purchased approximately
556,000  shares  at  a  cost  of  approximately  $1,030,000.

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 April 1, 2000, a 10% decline in market price of the Company's fixed price
contracts  would have had a negative impact of approximately $3.2 million on the
value  of  the  contracts.

RESOLUTIONS  REGARDING  AMENDMENT  OF  STOCK  OPTIONS  AND  STOCK  OPTION  PLAN
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHEREAS,  the  Company  has  granted  stock  options  under  the  Delta Woodside
Industries,  Inc.  Stock  Option  Plan (the "DWI Stock Option Plan") that remain
outstanding  and  have  not  yet  expired;

WHEREAS,  the DWI Stock Option Plan is unclear as to the effect of a spin-off of
a  subsidiary  of  the  Company  as  an independent company on outstanding stock
options held by individuals who are employed by the subsidiary that is spun-off;

WHEREAS,  the  Board  has  determined  that  it  is in the best interests of the
Company  and  its shareholders to amend the DWI Stock Option Plan to clarify the
effect  of a spin-off on outstanding options held by employees of the subsidiary
that  is  spun-off;

NOW,  THEREFORE,  BE  IT  RESOLVED  AS  FOLLOWS:

RESOLVED,  that  Section  10.,  Exercise  of  Options, is amended  by adding the
following  to  the  end  of  the  third  paragraph:

          "If a Subsidiary  of the Company is spun-off from the Company by means
     of (i) a distribution of the stock of the Subsidiary to the shareholders of
     the Company or (ii) the  distribution  of the stock of a direct or indirect
     parent corporation of the Subsidiary to the shareholders of the Company, no
     employee  of such  Subsidiary  shall be  treated  as having  had his or her
     employment with a Subsidiary of the Company  terminated  solely as a result
     of such spin-off."

RESOLVED, that the officers of the Company, and each of them, are authorized and
directed to execute such documents and take such actions as any of them may deem
necessary  or  appropriate  to  amend the terms of any and all outstanding stock
options  granted  pursuant  to  the  DWI  Stock  Option  Plan  to conform to the
substance  of  the  foregoing  amendment  to  the  DWI  Stock  Option  Plan.

Adopted  April  25,  2000.
