NOTES  TO  CONDENSED  CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS  (UNAUDITED)

January  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 six months ended January 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.

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):

NOTE  C-INCOME  TAXES

The  effective  income tax rate on income from continuing operations for the six
months ended January 1, 2000 is a negative 8%, compared to a negative 3% for the
fiscal  year  ended  July 3, 1999.  The Company currently has tax expense due to
state  income  taxes  and  from  valuation  allowance  increases.

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, October 2, 1999, and January 1, 2000, no amounts were outstanding under
this  bank  credit  facility.  The  subsidiary's  first  and  second fiscal 2000
quarter  operating results have caused the subsidiary not to be in compliance at
the  end  of  those  quarters  with  the  credit facility's covenants respecting
minimum interest coverage ratio, maximum leverage ratio and minimum consolidated
tangible  net  worth.  The  same  covenants  are  contained  in, and therefore a
default  also  exist under, operating leases of the subsidiary with an aggregate
outstanding  lease  balance  of  approximately  $5.5  million.

In  February  2000,  the Delta Mills, Inc. subsidiary acquired for $15,619,744 a
portion  of its 9 5/8% Senior Notes.  The aggregate principal face amount of the
acquired Senior Notes was $20,260,000.  This transaction was an event of default
under  the  subsidiary's  bank  credit  facility  with  respect  to repayment of


                                        8

indebtedness  while  in default (see the preceding paragraph).  The subsidiary's
intent  is  to  replace  the  existing  bank  credit  facility with a new credit
facility  that provides for a lower level of borrowing availability that is more
consistent  with  the  subsidiary's needs and plans.  The subsidiary has largely
negotiated  the  terms of a new facility and the Company believes the subsidiary
will  be able to enter into the new agreement on terms satisfactory to it before
the  end of the third fiscal quarter.  The financial covenants in the new credit
facility will automatically replace the current financial covenants incorporated
into the operating leases.  Accordingly, the Company does not believe that these
credit  facility  or  operating  lease  covenant  defaults  will have a material
adverse  effect  on  the  Company.

NOTE  E-COMMITMENTS  AND  CONTINGENCIES

On  January  10,  2000, the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources  requested that Delta Mills, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, accept
responsibility  for  investigating  the  discharge of hazardous substances at an
inactive  hazardous  waste  site  known  as  the  Glen  Raven  Mills Site, Kings
Mountain,  North Carolina (the "Site").  A predecessor by merger of Delta Mills,
Inc.,  Park  Yarn  Mills  Company,  Inc.  ("Park  Yarn"),  owned  the  Site  for
approximately  six (6) years, from approximately 1977 to 1983 (prior to the time
Delta  Mills,  Inc.  became  a  subsidiary  of Delta Woodside Industries, Inc.).
Delta Mills, Inc. is aware of no evidence that Park Yarn discharged or deposited
any  hazardous  substance  at the Site or is otherwise a "responsible party" for
the  Site.  Further,  Park  Yarn  filed  bankruptcy  and was discharged in 1983.
Although  no  assurance can be provided, any liability of Park Yarn for the Site
may  have  been  discharged  by the bankruptcy order.  Accordingly, Delta Mills,
Inc.  has  denied  any responsibility at the Site, has declined to undertake any
activities  concerning the Site, and has not provided for any reserves for costs
or  liabilities  attributable  to  Park  Yarn.

On  January  13,  2000,  Marion  Mills, LLC, a supplier to the Delta Mills, Inc.
subsidiary  of the Company, brought an action against Delta Mills, Inc. in North
Carolina  Superior  Court  in  McDowell County, North Carolina.  Plaintiff seeks
actual  damages  in  excess  of  $1.8  million  and consequential and incidental
damages  in  excess  of  $7.4  million.  The actual damages claim is based on an
alleged failure by Delta Mills, Inc. to pay in excess of $1.8 million of invoice
amounts.  The  consequential  and  incidental  damages  claim  is  based  on the
allegation  that  Delta Mills, Inc.'s failure to pay caused Marion Mills, LLC to
shut  down  its business.  The Company's position is that Delta Mills, Inc. paid
some  of  the  invoices  claimed to be unpaid and did not pay the other invoices
because  of defects in the goods supplied by the plaintiff, (which were returned
per  the  plaintiff's  authorization).  The  Company  and  Delta  Mills,  Inc.,
therefore  deny  and  are  vigorously  contesting  the  claims.

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).  The
Company currently anticipates that the record date for these spin-offs will be a
date  in  April  2000  and  that  the spin-offs will be completed in April 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 second quarter of fiscal year 2000
were  $58.1  million  as  compared to $78.9 million in the second quarter of the
prior fiscal year, a decrease of 26%.  For the six months ended January 1, 2000,
net  sales were $115.4 million a decline of 29% from $162.1 million in the first
six  months  of  the  prior  fiscal  year.

Gross profit from continuing operations declined to $6.3 million for the quarter
ended  January  1,  2000  from  $15.5 million in the second quarter of the prior
fiscal  year  and  the  gross  margin declined to 10.8% from 19.6%.  For the six
months  ended  January 1, 2000, gross profit from continuing operations declined
to  $12.4  million  or  10.7%  of sales as compared to $32.4 million or 20.0% of
sales  in  the  same  period  of  the  prior  fiscal  year.

Operating profits from continuing operations in the current quarter decreased to
$1.2  million  as  compared  to  $10.6  million in the same quarter of the prior
fiscal  year.  Operating  profits  from  continuing  operations in the first six
months  of fiscal 2000 decreased to $3.6 million as compared to $22.6 million in
the  first six months of fiscal 1999.  The declines were due to the gross margin
declines described above for both the quarter and the six month period, somewhat
offset,  in  the  six  months  period,  by  reductions  in  selling, general and
administrative  costs  compared  to  the  six  months  of the prior fiscal year.

Income  (loss)  from continuing operations declined to a loss of $3.9 million in
the current quarter as compared to a profit of  $4.2 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 was $.16 on
23,864,000 average shares outstanding as compared to income of $.17 per share on
the  24,190,000  average  shares  outstanding  in  the same quarter of the prior
fiscal  year.  For  the  six  months  ended  January  1, 2000 income (loss) from
continuing operations declined to a loss of $5.4 million as compared to a profit
of  $11.2  million  in the same period of the prior fiscal year.  On a per share
basis,  loss from continuing operations for the six months of the current fiscal
year  was  $.22 per share on 23.8 million average shares outstanding as compared
to  a  profit  of $.46 per share on 24.4 million shares in the six months of the
prior  year.

During the prior year quarter, the Company recognized a net loss of $3.5 million
on  disposal  of  discontinued  operations,  which  reflected a reduction in the
estimated net proceeds from the sale of Nautilus.  The prior year six month $7.9
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.

Income from operations of discontinued operations, net of income taxes, was $1.6
million  in  the  current  quarter  as compared to a loss of $3.6 million in the
prior  year  quarter.  Income from operations of discontinued operations, net of
income  taxes,  was $3.1 million in the current six months as compared to a loss
of  $2.5  million  in  the  prior  year  six  months.  Included in operations of
discontinued operations, for each of the current year quarter and six months and
the  prior year quarter and six months, 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 $1.2 million, Duck Head
Apparel  had  operating  losses of $.6 million, and total income tax benefit was
$.9  million.  For  the  same  quarter  in the prior fiscal year in discontinued
operations,  Delta  Apparel  had  operating  losses  of  $1.3 million, Duck Head
Apparel  had  operating losses of $3.4 million, and total income tax benefit was
$1.7  million.  For  the  six  months  ended  January  1,  2000  in discontinued
operations,  Delta  Apparel  had  operating  profits of $3.0 million , Duck Head
Apparel had operating losses of $.2 million and total income tax benefit was $.3
million.  For  the  six  months  in  the  prior  fiscal  year  in  discontinued
operations, Delta Apparel had operating losses of $.8 million, Duck Head Apparel
had  operating  losses  of  $1.9  million, and total income tax benefit was $1.3
million.


                                       10
<PAGE>
Net loss in the latest quarter was $2.4 million or $.10 per share as compared to
net  loss  of  $2.8  million  or $.12 per share in the same quarter of the prior
fiscal year.  Net loss for the six months ended January 1, 2000 was $2.2 million
or $.09 per share as compared to net income of $.8 million or $.03 per share for
the  six  months  ended  December  26,  1998.

Delta  Mills  Marketing  Company,  which  manufactures  and sells finished woven
fabrics,  had  net  sales  for  the  second quarter of fiscal year 2000 of $58.1
million  as  compared  to  $78.8 million in the same quarter of the prior fiscal
year,  a  decrease  of 26%.  For the six months ended January 1, 2000, net sales
were  $115.4 million as compared to $161.9 million for the same period of fiscal
1999,  a  decrease  of  28.7%.  Sales declines were in both cotton and synthetic
product  categories  and  were  primarily attributable to lower unit sales.  The
synthetic  product  sales  decline was a result of changing market demand due to
increased import pressure.  In order to match capacity to current market demand,
the  Company  has  downsized  this portion of the business.  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 in part the result
of garment manufacturers 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 10.9% for the second quarter of fiscal year 2000 compared
to  19.8%  in the prior year quarter.  Gross profit as a percentage of sales was
10.8% for the six months ended January 1, 2000 as compared to 20.0% for the same
period  of  fiscal  1999.  These  declines  were  primarily  due  to these three
factors:  1)  A  decline  in  sales  volume and related manufacturing efficiency
losses,  2)  the absence of the USDA cotton rebate program for the major part of
the first six months of the current fiscal year, and 3) the cost associated with
the  downsizing  of  the  synthetic  product  operation.  Selling,  general  and
administrative  costs for the second quarter were $2.8 million and 4.8% of sales
compared  to  $4.2 million and 5.3% of sales in the prior year quarter.  Year to
date selling, general and administrative costs for fiscal 2000 were $5.6 million
or  4.9%  of  sales  as  compared  to $8.0 million or 4.9% of sales for the same
period  of  fiscal  1999.  The  division's,  and the Company's, order backlog at
January  1, 2000 was $66.8 million, down from the $85.4 million order backlog at
December  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  second  quarter  of  fiscal year 2000 of $21.6 million as compared to $18.0
million  in the same quarter of the prior fiscal year.  Sales for the six months
ended  January  1,  2000  were $50.2 million as compared to $42.8 million in the
same period of the prior fiscal year.  The increases in both the quarter and the
six  month  period were due to significantly higher unit volume at lower average
selling  prices.  Gross profit and gross profit margin for the second quarter of
fiscal  year 2000 were $3.0 million and 14.0%, respectively, as compared to $1.1
million  and  6.4%,  respectively,  in  the prior year quarter. Gross profit and
gross profit margin for the first six month period of fiscal year 2000 were $6.7
million  and  13.4%  respectively,  as  compared  to  $5.3  million  and  12.6%
respectively,  in  the  prior  year  six month period. The lower average selling
prices  described  above  were  offset  by  lower manufacturing costs, driven by
improved  manufacturing  efficiencies  and  higher  capacity  utilization in the
quarter as well as the six month period.  For the second quarter of fiscal 2000,
Delta Apparel's selling, general, and administrative expenses were $1.8 million,
or  8.3% of sales, a decrease of $0.4 million from the prior year second quarter
of  $2.2  million, or 12.2% of sales.  For the six month period ended January 1,
2000, selling, general and administrative expenses were $3.7 million, or 7.3% of
sales,  a  decrease of $2.0 million from the prior year six month period of $5.7
million,  or  13.3%  of sales.  These decreases were due to a number of factors,
including a reduction in head count, lower allocated corporate overhead, reduced
bad  debt  expense,  lower  selling  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  at Delta Apparel for the second quarter and first six months
of  fiscal  year  2000  were  $1.2  million  and  $3.0 million, respectively, as
compared  to  operating  losses  of  $1.3  million and $.8 million in the second
quarter  and  first  six  months,  respectively,  of  fiscal  year  1999.


In  Duck  Head  Apparel  Company,  the Company's branded apparel business, sales
totaled  $13.3  million  and  $29.7  million in the second quarter and first six
months  of  fiscal  2000,  respectively, a decrease of 22% and 25%, respectively
from  $17.0  million in the same quarter in fiscal 1999 and $39.5 million in the
first  six months of the prior year.  The dollar decreases reflect a decrease in
unit  sales,  which  was the result of the loss of three key "Duck Head" branded
customers,  reduced  volume at other accounts, the exit from certain portions of
the  Company's  private  label  business,  and  lower sales at the company's own
retail  outlet  stores.   There  were  no  sales to the three key lost customers
during  either  the  second  quarter  or  first  six months of fiscal year 2000.
During  the  second  quarter and first six months of fiscal year 1999 there were
sales  of  $.7  million and $2.5 million, respectively, to these three accounts.
Reduced  volume  at  other  accounts  was due to inventory levels at several key
accounts being reduced, reflecting a change in merchandise mix, and to the first


                                       11
<PAGE>
six  months  of  fiscal  1999  including  the  start-up of several new Duck Head
in-store  shops.  Private label sales decreased by  $.7 million and $1.7 million
in  the  second  quarter  and  first  six  months  of fiscal 2000, respectively.
Additionally,  there  were decreases in sales at the company's own retail outlet
stores,  which resulted from a combination of a comparable store sales decreases
of  4%  and  8%  in  the  second  quarter  and  first six months of fiscal 2000,
respectively,  and  fewer  stores  being open in the both the second quarter and
first six months of fiscal year 2000 as compared with the same periods in fiscal
year 1999.  During the second quarter of fiscal year 2000 the Company opened one
new  store  and  did  not  close  any  stores and at January 1, 2000 the Company
operated 26 retail outlet stores.  Gross profit for the second quarter and first
six  months of fiscal year 2000 was $4.0 million and $8.9 million, respectively,
as  compared  to  $3.3  million and $10.7 million for the same periods in fiscal
1999.  Gross  profit  margin  was  30% for both the second quarter and first six
months  of fiscal 2000 as compared to gross profit margin of 20% and 27% for the
second  quarter  and  first  six months, respectively, of fiscal year 1999.  The
increase in gross profit and gross profit margin in the second quarter of fiscal
year  2000  as  compared  to  the  second 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 six
months  of  fiscal  year 2000 as compared to the first six months of fiscal year
1999  was  due  to  lower sales partially offset by higher gross profit margins.
Selling,  general and administrative expenses were $4.7 million and $9.5 million
in  the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2000, respectively as
compared  to  $6.7 million and $12.7 million during the second quarter and first
six  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 second quarter and first six months of fiscal
year  2000 were $.6 million and $.2 million, respectively, as compared operating
losses  of  $3.4  million  and  $1.9 million in the second quarter and first six
months,  respectively,  of  fiscal  year  1999.

Inventories  were  unchanged  at  $44  million at January 1, 2000 as compared to
inventories  at  July  3,  1999.  Accounts receivable declined to $53 million at
January  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 income from continuing operations for the six
months ended January 1, 2000 is a negative 8%, compared to a negative 3% for the
fiscal  year  ended  July 3, 1999.  The Company currently has tax expense due to
state  income  taxes  and  from  valuation  allowance  increases.

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 completed a remediation plan.  The
Company's Year 2000 plan included 1) Identifying year 2000 issues, 2) Assessment
and  prioritization  of  issues,  3)  Remediation,  and 4) Testing for Year 2000
compliance.  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 were in place prior to the end of
1999,  was  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  six  months  of fiscal year 2000.  No further spending is anticipated for
remediation  and  software improvements.  Through the month of January 2000, the
Company  has  experienced no material problems associated with Year 2000 issues.
The Company believes that its Year 2000 remediation efforts were successful, and
that  no  further  remediation  efforts  are  necessary.

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, October 2, 1999, and January 1, 2000, no amounts were outstanding under
this  bank  credit  facility.  The  subsidiary's  first  and  second fiscal 2000
quarter  operating results have caused the subsidiary not to be in compliance at
the  end  of  those  quarters  with  the  credit facility's covenants respecting
minimum interest coverage ratio, maximum leverage ratio and minimum consolidated
tangible  net  worth.  The  same  covenants  are  contained  in, and therefore a
default  also  exist under, operating leases of the subsidiary with an aggregate
outstanding  lease  balance  of  approximately  $5.5  million.

In  February  2000,  the Delta Mills, Inc. subsidiary acquired for $15,619,744 a
portion  of its 9 5/8% Senior Notes.  The aggregate principal face amount of the
acquired Senior Notes was $20,260,000.  This transaction was an event of default
under  the  subsidiary's  bank  credit  facility  with  respect  to repayment of


                                       12
<PAGE>
indebtedness  while  in default (see the preceding paragraph).  The subsidiary's
intent  is  to  replace  the  existing  bank  credit  facility with a new credit
facility  that provides for a lower level of borrowing availability that is more
consistent  with  the  subsidiary's needs and plans.  The subsidiary has largely
negotiated  the  terms of a new facility and the Company believes the subsidiary
will  be able to enter into the new agreement on terms satisfactory to it before
the  end of the third fiscal quarter.  The financial covenants in the new credit
facility will automatically replace the current financial covenants incorporated
into the operating leases.  Accordingly, the Company does not believe that these
credit  facility  or  operating  lease  covenant  defaults  will have a material
adverse  effect  on  the  Company.

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.  No
shares  were repurchased during the first six months of fiscal 2000.  Subsequent
to  January  1,  2000  and  through  February 10, 2000 the Company had purchased
approximately  498,000  shares  at  a  cost  of  approximately  $927,000.

The  Company  believes  that  cash  flow  generated  by its operations and funds
available  under  its  current credit facility 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  January  1,  2000,  a 10% decline in market price of the Company's fixed
price  contracts  would have had a negative impact of approximately $5.0 million
on  the  value  of  the  contracts.

PART  II.  OTHER  INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

     On January 10, 2000,  the North  Carolina  Department  of  Environment  and
     Natural  Resources  requested  that Delta Mills,  Inc., a subsidiary of the
     Company, accept responsibility for investigating the discharge of hazardous
     substances  at an  inactive  hazardous  waste  site known as the Glen Raven
     Mills Site, Kings Mountain,  North Carolina (the "Site").  A predecessor by
     merger of Delta Mills,  Inc., Park Yarn Mills Company,  Inc. ("Park Yarn"),
     owned the Site for approximately six (6) years, from  approximately 1977 to
     1983 (prior to the time Delta  Mills,  Inc.  became a  subsidiary  of Delta
     Woodside Industries,  Inc.). Delta Mills, Inc. is aware of no evidence that
     Park Yarn discharged or deposited any hazardous substance at the Site or is
     otherwise  a  "responsible  party" for the Site.  Further,  Park Yarn filed
     bankruptcy  and was  discharged  in  1983.  Although  no  assurance  can be
     provided,  any liability of Park Yarn for the Site may have been discharged
     by the  bankruptcy  order.  Accordingly,  Delta Mills,  Inc. has denied any
     responsibility  at the Site,  has  declined  to  undertake  any  activities
     concerning  the Site,  and has not  provided  for any reserves for costs or
     liabilities attributable to Park Yarn.

     On January 13, 2000, Marion Mills, LLC, a supplier to the Delta Mills, Inc.
     subsidiary of the Company,  brought an action against Delta Mills,  Inc. in
     North Carolina Superior Court in McDowell County, North Carolina. Plaintiff
     seeks  actual  damages  in excess of $1.8  million  and  consequential  and
     incidental  damages in excess of $7.4 million.  The actual damages claim is
     based on an alleged  failure by Delta Mills,  Inc. to pay in excess of $1.8
     million of invoice amounts.  The consequential and incidental damages claim
     is based on the allegation  that Delta Mills,  Inc.'s failure to pay caused
     Marion Mills, LLC to shut down its business. The Company's position is that
     Delta Mills,  Inc.  paid some of the invoices  claimed to be unpaid and did
     not pay the other invoices  because of defects in the goods supplied by the
     plaintiff,  (which were returned per the  plaintiff's  authorization).  The
     Company and Delta Mills, Inc., therefore deny and are vigorously contesting
     the claims.

Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

     On  December 9, 1999,  the Board of  Directors  of the  Company  declared a
     dividend  distribution  of one common stock  purchase right (a "Right") for
     each  outstanding  share of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per
     share  (the  "Common  Stock"),  to  stockholders  of record at the close of
     business on December 22, 1999. Each Right entitles the registered holder to
     purchase from the Company one quarter share of the Common Stock,  at a cash
     exercise  price of $5.00 per quarter share  (equivalent to $20.00 per whole
     share), subject to adjustment.  The description and terms of the Rights are
     set forth in a Shareholder  Rights  Agreement  dated December 10, 1999 (the
     "Rights  Agreement")  between the Company and First Union National Bank, as
     Rights Agent. For a description of the Rights Agreement,  see the Company's
     Current  Report on Form 8-K  dated  December  9,  1999 and  filed  with the
     Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  on December  16,  1999 (the  "Rights
     Agreement  8-K"). A copy of the Rights Agreement is included as Exhibit 4.1
     to the Rights  Agreement 8-K. The  description of the Rights  Agreement and
