(1)  Basis of Presentation  -
     ---------------------

  The accompanying  unaudited condensed  consolidated  financial statements 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.  The balance sheet at September 30, 1995 has been derived
from  the  audited  financial  statements  at  that  date.  In  the  opinion  of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the
three-month  and  six-month  periods  ended March 30,  1996 are not  necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended  September 28,
1996. For further  information,  refer to the consolidated  financial statements
and footnotes  thereto  included in the Company's  annual report to shareholders
for the year ended September 30, 1995.

(2)  Inventories  -
     -----------
  The  Company  has  implemented  a plan to reduce  inventories  levels  and has
recorded  appropriate  write-downs  in the second fiscal quarter to reflect this
decision.

(3)  Long-term debt obligations in technical default classified as
     current -
     -------------------------------------------------------------
     At March 30, 1996, the Company was not in compliance with certain financial
covenants  arising under its January 1996 revolving credit agreement and under a
loan agreement with an  institutional  lender.  Accordingly  these  obligations,
$55,000 and $6,154, respectively, are subject to acceleration by the lenders and
have been classified as current.  Also  classified as current  pursuant to cross
default  provisions  are  subordinated  notes  in the  amount  of  $15,000.  See
liquidity discussion below.

(4)  Income Taxes -
     ------------
     An income tax benefit has been  provided  for the three month and six month
periods ended March 30, 1996 to the extent of income taxes  previously  paid and
refundable and to the extent of deferred income taxes previously provided.
<PAGE>

(5)  Restructuring charges -
     ---------------------
     The  operating  results for the three and six month periods ended March 30,
1996 reflect a pretax  charge of $5,301 for the write down of  facilities to the
fair market value and the  estimated  personnel  transitional  costs  related to
staff reductions recently implemented.


(6)  Net Income Per Share   -
     ---------------------
     Earnings  per share are  calculated  using the weighted  average  number of
shares of common stock, and where dilutive, common stock equivalents outstanding
during each period.  Shares used in computing per share  results were  6,883,695
and  7,029,326  for the three  months  ended  March 30,  1996 and April 1, 1995,
respectively and 6,883,647 and 7,027,664 for the six months ended March 30, 1996
and April 1, 1995, respectively.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
           
Results of Operations
- ---------------------

     The Company  incurred a loss in its second fiscal  quarter ending March 30,
1996 of $25.3  million  compared  to net  income of $2.1  million  in the second
quarter of last  year.  Included  in the second  quarter  loss are  charges  and
expenses of approximately  $19.8 million including charges to write down certain
inventories  to  their  net  realizable  value  ($14.5  million,  see  liquidity
discussion  below),  and  restructuring  costs  ($5.3  million)  related  to the
shutdown  of  two  facilities  located  in  South  Carolina  and  reductions  in
administrative and supervisory staff. The operating loss of $5.5 million, before
these charges, for the second quarter was caused by previously  announced  price
decreases,  reduced unit sales and by high production  costs caused primarily by
reduced and curtailed operating  schedules.  In May 1996 the Company reduced its
administrative  and  supervisory  staff by  approximately  100 persons  which is
expected to yield an estimated annual savings of approximately $4 million.

     Net sales for the three months  ended March 30, 1996 were $43.2  million as
compared to $52.0 million in the comparable period of the prior year, a decrease
of $8.8 million or 16.9%. The decrease was due to a reduction of customer orders
as well as reduced  prices.  Net sales of activewear  were $34.9 million for the
three months ended March 30, 1996 as compared to $43.3 million in the comparable
period of the prior year, a decrease of $8.4 million or 19.4%.  The decrease was
principally  due to lower unit sales of $4.1  million as well as $4.3 million of
reduced  revenues  attributable  to reduced  sales  prices.  Net sales to retail
customers  were $8.3 million for the three months ended March 30, 1996  compared
to $8.7 million last year.

     Gross  profit for the  quarter  ended  March 30,  1996 of  $(13.5)  million
decreased $23.5 million from the comparable  period of the prior year due to the
reduced  pricing  mentioned  above and reduced  unit sales as well as  increased
operating  costs.  Gross  profit,  as a  percentage  of net sales,  decreased to
(31.2%) compared to 19.2% in the comparable  period of the prior year due to the
price  decreases  mentioned  above,  costs  associated  with reduced  production
schedules, inventory valuation reserves, and increased per unit operating costs.

     Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  for the three months ended
March 30, 1996 increased  $0.2 million from the  comparable  period of the prior
year due to higher sales related costs.


<PAGE>

     Interest  expense,  net of interest income,  for the second quarter of 1996
was $1.6  million  compared to $0.9  million for the  corresponding  period last
year.  The  increase  was due to  higher  average  borrowings  as well as higher
borrowing rates.

     Net sales for the six months  ended  March 30,  1996 were $78.4  million as
compared to $92.1 million in the comparable period of the prior year, a decrease
of $13.7 million or 14.9%.

     Net sales of  activewear  were $62.4 million for the six months ended March
30,  1996 as  compared to $76.3  million in the  comparable  period of the prior
year,  a  decrease  of  $13.9  million  or  18.2%.  Net  sales of  T-shirts  and
sweatshirts  decreased  by $13.8  million and $0.1  million,  respectively.  The
T-shirt  decrease  was  principally  due to lower unit sales of T-shirts of $6.1
million as well as $7.4 million of reduced revenues  attributable to promotional
pricing.  Sales of sweatshirts decreased slightly due to $0.7 million of reduced
revenues  attributable to promotional pricing partially offset by increased unit
sales of $0.6 million.  Net sales to retail customers were $16.0 million for the
six months ended March 30, 1996 compared to $15.8 million last year.

     Gross  profit for the six months  ended March 30,  1996 of $(12.9)  million
decreased  $30.8  million from the  comparable  period of the prior year.  Gross
profit, as a percentage of net sales,  decreased to (16.5%) compared to 19.4% in
the comparable period of the prior year due to the reasons set forth above.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended March
30, 1996 decreased $0.2 million from the comparable period of the prior year.

     Interest  expense,  net of interest income,  for the six months ended March
30, 1996 was $2.9 million compared to $1.4 million for the corresponding  period
last year. The increase was due to higher  average  borrowings as well as higher
interest rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

     Working  capital  was $3.3  million  at March 30,  1996  compared  to $72.9
million at  September  30,  1995.  The  incurrence  of  additional  indebtedness
pursuant to a new revolving credit  agreement and subordinated  notes during the
second fiscal quarter was offset by the  reclassification of this long-term debt
as  current  due to the  technical  default  mentioned  below  resulting  in the
decrease in working capital.

     In January  1996,  the Company  issued 10%  subordinated  notes to Avondale
Mills, Inc. and Robert Gintel in the aggregate principal amount of $15.0 million
maturing  February 26, 1999,  concurrently with the funding of the Company's new
bank credit  facility.  The notes are subordinate to the Company's bank debt and
certain other senior debt.

     Subordinated  notes in the  amount of $7.5  million to  Avondale  and $3.75
million to Gintel  were to be prepaid  from the  proceeds  of a proposed  rights
offering under which  stockholders  were to be given the opportunity to maintain
their current ownership percentage by receiving the right to subscribe to shares
at $7.00 per share on the  basis of one  share of Oneita  common  stock for each
four shares of stock  presently  held.  In light of the  operating  loss for the
quarter and the decrease in the market price per share of the  Company's  common
stock,  the Board of  Directors  has  determined  to defer the  proposed  rights
offering indefinitely. In connection with the $3.75 million subordinated note to
Gintel which was not to be repaid from the proceeds of the rights offering,  the
Company has issued Gintel  warrants to purchase  125,000 shares of Oneita Common
Stock at $7.00 per share. The proceeds from issuance of the  subordinated  notes
have been used for working capital and capital expenditures.

<PAGE>

     In January 1996,  the Company  borrowed $60.0 million under a new revolving
credit  agreement with its banks of which $55.0 million was outstanding on March
30,  1996.  The  proceeds of the new debt were used to pay off an existing  bank
credit facility and existing  short-term bank lines totaling $50.0 million.  The
additional proceeds were used for working capital and capital expenditures.  The
new  revolving  line of credit is  collateralized  by  inventories  and accounts
receivable  and has a maturity date of January 26, 1999. At March 30, 1996,  the
Company was not in compliance with certain financial covenants arising under the
new revolving  credit agreement and under a loan agreement with an institutional
lender.  Accordingly,   these  obligations,  $55.0  million  and  $6.2  million,
respectively,  are  subject  to  acceleration  by  the  lenders  and  have  been
classified as current liabilities.  Also classified as current liabilities under
a  cross  default   provision  with  the  revolving  credit  agreement  are  the
subordinated notes discussed above in the amount of $15 million. The Company has
received a letter  from its banks  expressing  a  willingness  to  negotiate  an
amendment  to the new  credit  facility  by  modifying  the  financial  covenant
requirements and extend the collateral to include the Company's property,  plant
and equipment; however, there is no assurance that any proposed amendment can be
finalized  on  terms   satisfactory  to  the  Company  or  otherwise.   No  such
communication   has  been  received  from  the   institutional   lender  or  the
subordinated note holders.

     Capital  expenditures  were $ 4.2 million for the three month  period ended
March 30, 1995 and $6.7  million for the six month  period  ended March 30, 1996
and  primarily  were  directed to the  expansion  of the  Company's  new textile
manufacturing  plant in  Fayette,  Alabama.  Cost to  complete  this  project of
approximately  $2.5  million is  expected  to be  incurred in the second half of
fiscal 1996.

     During  fiscal 1995 and the first six months of fiscal 1996,  the Company's
inventories  increased by $24.4 million to $69.0 million.  While $5.0 million of
the  increase  was  planned  due  to  new  styles  and  other  customer  service
requirements,  most of the  increase  was due to reduced  deliveries  because of
reduced  customer  demand and is in excess of  requirements  to support  current

<PAGE>

levels of customer demand.  Because of the continued  operating losses resulting
from lower than  expected  unit sales and selling  prices,  the  Company's  bank
financing is not sufficient to continue to carry this inventory  until it can be
sold in the  ordinary  course of  business  while  continuing  acceptable  plant
operating  schedules.  The  Company  has  implemented  a plan  to  reduce  these
inventories  and has  recorded  appropriate  write-downs  in the  second  fiscal
quarter.

     The  Company's  liquidity  requirements,  consisting  primarily  of capital
expenditures  and  seasonal  working  capital  requirements,  are expected to be
financed from operating cash flow and existing debt arrangements,  as amended or
refinanced.  However,  no assurance can be given that  sufficient debt financing
will be  available  to the  Company  on  satisfactory  terms.  In the event debt
financing is not available, the Company may be forced to reduce inventory levels
even further by either additional  curtailment of production or the acceleration
of customer deliveries by offering additional discounts.  It is anticipated that
these  actions  will  generate  sufficient   liquidity  to  meet  the  Company's
obligations; however no assurance can be given in this regard.

<PAGE>

     Except for historical  information  contained herein, the matters set forth
are forward looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties that
could  cause  actual  results to differ  materially  from  those in the  forward
looking  statements.  Potential risks and uncertainties  include such factors as
the Company's ability to obtain  amendments to its existing lending  agreements,
the level of consumer spending for apparel, the amount of sales of the Company's
activewear   products,   the  competitive   pricing  and  promotional   campaign
environment within the basic apparel segment of the apparel industry, yarn price
fluctuations and the financial strength of the retail industry.
 
Effects of Inflation
- --------------------

     The Company  believes that the  relatively  moderate  rates of inflation in
recent years have not had a significant impact on its sales and profitability.
