                                 DAN RIVER INC.
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
     include the accounts of Dan River Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary,
     Dan River Factory Stores, Inc. (together, the "Company").  In the opinion
     of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)  
     considered necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim
     periods presented have been included.  Interim results are not necessarily
     indicative of results for a full year.  For further information, refer to
     the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
     Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 1996.

2.   Earnings per share

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings
     per Share," which is required to be adopted in the fourth quarter of
     fiscal 1997.  At that time, the Company will be required to change the
     method currently used to compute earnings per share and to restate all
     prior periods.  Under the new requirements for calculating basic earnings
     per share, the dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded.  The
     Company does not expect SFAS 128 to have a significant effect on the
     calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share, except the
     antidilutive effect of the convertible subordinated junior notes will not
     be included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the year
     ended December 30, 1995.

3.   Inventories

     The components of inventory are as follows:

5.   Other Operating Costs, Net

     During the quarter ended June 28, 1997, the Company recorded a pre-tax
     charge of $7,875,000 as a result of its decision to close its Riverside
     apparel fabrics weaving operation in Danville, Virginia.  The charge
     includes $373,000 for severance and other benefits related to approximately
     200 employees. The remainder of the charge relates principally to
     writedowns and other costs associated with the divestitures of real estate
     and equipment. The Company will close the facility during the fourth
     quarter of 1997 and anticipates substantially all of the facility's assets
     will be relocated or disposed of within a 2-year period.

6.   Income Taxes 

     At December 28, 1996, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of
     $900,000, which expire in 2005.  In addition, the Company had available a
     minimum tax credit carryforward of $8,100,000, and investment credit and
     other general business credit carryforwards of $5,300,000.  If not used,
     substantially all of the investment credit and other general business
     credit carryforwards will expire in the years 1997 through 2000.

     On September 3, 1991, the Company completed a financial restructuring (the
     "Restructuring") which involved issuing common and preferred stock to
     various parties.  The Company believes that the Restructuring did not 
<PAGE>
 
9


     result in a "change in ownership" under Section 382 of the Internal
     Revenue Code.  However, Section 382 and related regulations promulgated by
     the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) are extremely complex, and the
     Company's assessment of whether or not a "change in ownership" occurred
     involves judgments as to certain factual issues and interpretations as to
     certain legal issues for which there is little guidance.

     From the date of the Restructuring through December 28, 1996, the Company
     utilized an aggregate of $16,876,000 in net operating loss carryforwards
     and $1,723,000 in general business credit carryforwards for federal income
     tax purposes that are subject to review by the IRS.  The utilization of
     these carryforwards and related tax benefits could be significantly
     restricted or eliminated if the Restructuring is ultimately deemed to
     constitute a "change in ownership."

7.   Acquisition

     On February 3, 1997, the Company acquired substantially all the assets of
     The New Cherokee Corporation ("TNCC") for $65 million in cash, subject to
     a working capital adjustment, and the assumption of certain operating
     liabilities.  The purchase price and associated fees and expenses of
     approximately $2 million were funded at closing with $12.1 million of cash
     on hand, and borrowings under a new working capital line of credit and
     term loan of $19.9 million and $35 million, respectively.  In July 1997,
     as a result of the working capital adjustment, the Company received $1.7
     million from an escrow deposit.  The acquisition has been accounted for
     using the purchase method of accounting and the preliminary allocation of
     the purchase price did not result in the recording of goodwill.

     The following summarized, unaudited pro forma results of operations assume
     the acquisition of TNCC had occurred at the beginning of each period
     presented.  The pro forma information is presented for informational
     purposes and is not indicative of results which would have occurred or
     which may occur in the future.

8.   Public Offering and Recapitalization

     On September 26, 1997, the Company filed a registration statement for the
     sale of Class A Common Stock to the public (the "Offering"). 

     In connection with the Offering, the shareholders of the Company approved
     a multi-step recapitalization plan which became effective on November 3,
     1997 (the "Recapitalization"). Prior to the Recapitalization, the Company's
     outstanding capital stock included 1,500,000 authorized shares of voting
     stock, par value $.01 per share ("Old Voting Stock") (726,454 shares of
     which were outstanding as of 
     December 28, 1996), and 1,500,000 authorized shares of non-voting common
     stock, par value $.01 per share ("Old Nonvoting Stock") (82,413 shares of
     which were outstanding as of December 28, 1996).

     The Company first amended and restated its Articles of Incorporation (the
     "Restated Articles"). Upon filing of the Restated Articles: (i) Class A
     Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, entitled to one vote per share,
     Class B Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, entitled to 4.39 votes per
     share, and Class C Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, nonvoting, were
     created; (ii) each outstanding share of Old Voting Stock was reclassified
     and exchanged for 17.5 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company
     ("Class A Common") and (iii) each outstanding share of Old Nonvoting Stock
     was reclassified and exchanged for 17.5 shares of Class C Common Stock of
     the Company ("Class C Common") (the "Reclassification"). Shares of Class C
     Common will automatically convert into shares of Class A Common on a share-
     for-share basis upon consummation of the Offering.

     Upon consummation of the Offering, the Company will complete an exchange
     offer (the "Exchange Offer") pursuant to which certain members of senior
     management of the Company (and certain of their family members) that held
     Old Voting Stock prior to the Reclassification will exchange 2,062,070
     shares of Class A Common for shares of supervoting Class B Common Stock
     ("Class B Common") on a share-for-share basis.

     All share and per share amounts in the accompanying financial statements
     and the related notes have been adjusted to reflect the impact of the
     Reclassification on the number of shares outstanding and the per share
     amounts. No adjustment has been made in the accompanying financial
     statements and the related notes for the Exchange Offer or the automatic
     conversion of Class C Common into Class A Common upon the consummation of
     the Offering.
 
9.   Recent Accounting Pronouncement

     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
     Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, (SFAS 131), "Disclosures about
     Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", effective for years
     beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS 131 requires that a public company
     report financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating
     segments pursuant to criteria that differ from SFAS 14, "Financial
     Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise". Operating segments, as
     defined, are components of an enterprise about which separate financial
     information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating
     decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing
     performance. The financial information to be reported includes segment
     profit or loss, certain revenue and expense items and segment assets and
     reconciliations to corresponding amounts in the general purpose financial
     statements. SFAS 131 also requires information about products and services,
     geographic areas of operation, and major customers. The Company is required
     to adopt SFAS 131 at the end of its 1998 fiscal year. The Company has not
     completed its analysis of the effect of adoption on its financial statement
     disclosure, however, the adoption of SFAS 131 will not affect results of
     operations or financial position.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
          Results of Operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Acquisition of The New Cherokee Corporation

The Company acquired substantially all the assets and assumed certain
liabilities of The New Cherokee Corporation ("TNCC") for $63.3 million in cash. 
TNCC manufactured and sold substantially the same types of light weight yarn
dyed apparel fabrics as the Company.  The results of TNCC have been included
since the date acquired, February 3, 1997.

The purchase included the inventory, receivables, property, plant, and
equipment of TNCC, including the Sevierville Plant located in Sevierville,
Tennessee, the Spindale Plant in Spindale, North Carolina, and the Harris
Finishing Plant in Harris, North Carolina.  The Company also assumed certain
liabilities of TNCC including trade payables and some accrued liabilities.
Funding for the acquisition is described in the Liquidity and Capital Resources
portion of this section.

General

Net sales for the third quarter of 1997 were $116.3 million, an increase of
$21.2 million (22.3%) compared to the third quarter of 1996.  For the quarter,
sales of home fashions products were up $6.2 million (10.3%) and sales of
apparel fabrics products were up $14.9 million (42.9%).

The increase in sales of home fashions products resulted from higher unit
volumes and higher average pricing reflecting a better sales mix of products. 
The increase in sales of apparel fabrics resulted from the acquisition of TNCC
on February 3, 1997.  Unit volume of apparel fabrics more than doubled, offset
by lower average pricing reflecting a less rich sales mix that included lower
price greige fabrics and higher levels of commission finishing.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 1997 was $28.2 million, 24.3% of sales, up
$9.0 million or 47.1% from the second quarter of 1996, during which gross
profit represented 20.2% of sales.  The increase in gross profit was due to
higher unit volumes, lower raw material prices and reduced manufacturing costs
for the production of apparel fabrics as a result of the acquisition of TNCC.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 1997 were
$14.1 million (12.1% of sales) as compared to $10.9 million (11.5% of sales)
during the third quarter of 1996.  The increase relates to higher incentive
compensation expense, increased selling and administrative expense as a result
of the acquisition of TNCC and increased product design and other costs
associated with the Company's new line of Nautica(R) brand home fashions
products.

Due to the factors described above, operating income of $14.1 million was up
$5.8 million or 70.6% from the second quarter of 1996.

Interest expense for the third quarter of 1997 was $5.6 million, an increase of
$1.1 million or 23.5% from the third quarter of 1996.  The increase in interest
expense was due to higher debt levels reflecting the acquisition of TNCC offset
<PAGE>
 
11


somewhat by lower average rates.  The lower average rates reflect the
acquisition debt related to TNCC, most of which is financed at floating rates
which are lower than the Company's fixed rate public debt, thereby reducing the
average interest rate.

An income tax provision of $3.1 million was recorded in the third quarter of
1997 (38.5% of pretax income) compared to a provision of $1.5 million (39.6% of
pretax income) for the third quarter of 1996.  The increased provision was due
to higher levels of pretax income.  Accordingly, the Company recorded net
income of $5.0 million for the third quarter of 1997 compared to $2.3 million
in the third quarter of 1996.

Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 were $344.2 million, an
increase of $72.2 million or 26.5% compared to $272.0 million for the first
nine months of fiscal 1996. Net sales of home fashions products during the
first nine months of fiscal 1997 were $183.0 million, an increase of $9.9
million or 5.7% compared to $173.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal
1996. Net sales of apparel fabrics during the first nine months of fiscal 1997
were $161.2 million, an increase of $62.3 million or 63.0% compared to $98.9
million for the first nine months of fiscal 1996. The increase in net sales of
home fashions products was due to higher unit volume aided somewhat by higher
average pricing reflecting an improved product mix. The increase in net sales
of apparel fabrics resulted primarily from the acquisition of TNCC, which was
consummated on February 3, 1997. Apparel fabrics unit volumes were almost
double the levels of the corresponding period in fiscal 1996. This was offset
somewhat by lower average pricing reflecting a sales mix that included a
higher proportion of lower priced greige fabrics that were sold to the
converter trade (purchasers of unfinished fabric who contract out the
finishing to third parties) and higher commission finishing sales.

Gross profit for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 was $75.5 million
(21.9% of net sales), an increase of $24.4 million or 47.8% from gross profit
of $51.1 million (18.8% of net sales) for the first nine months of fiscal
1996. The increase in gross profit was due to higher unit volumes, lower raw
material prices, and better manufacturing performance in apparel fabrics where
there was increased activity levels and reduced costs as a result of the
acquisition of TNNC. 

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first nine months of
fiscal 1997 were $39.2 million (11.4% of net sales), an increase of $5.3
million or 15.8% from $33.9 million (12.4% of net sales) for the first nine
months of fiscal 1996. The increase was caused by higher incentive
compensation expense, increased selling and administrative expense as a result
of the acquisition of TNCC, and increased product design and roll-out costs
associated with the introduction of the "Nautica" brand of home fashions
products. 

The Company incurred a one-time charge in the second quarter of fiscal 1997
as a result of the decision to close its Riverside apparel fabrics weaving
operation in Danville, Virginia. The production from this facility will be
moved to other Company facilities. Accordingly, its closure will reduce fixed
costs without any decrease in production. The $7.9 million pre-tax charge
($4.8 million after tax; $0.34 per share), reflected under "Other operating
costs, net", includes $0.4 million for severance and other employee benefit
costs. The remainder of the charge relates principally to writedowns and other
costs associated with the divestiture of real estate and equipment. 

For the reasons described above, operating income during the first nine
months of fiscal 1997 was $28.4 million (8.2% of net sales), an increase of
$11.2 million or 65.0% from $17.2 million (6.3% of net sales) for the first
nine months of fiscal 1996. Excluding the one-time charge related to the
closure of the Riverside facility, operating income would have been $36.2
million, an increase of $19.0 million or 110.8% compared to the first nine
months of 1996. 

Other income (expense), net for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 includes
$0.6 million of costs related to fees and expenses incurred in connection with a
proposed business combination that did not materialize, offset in part by
miscellaneous items of income.

Interest expense was $16.2 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1997,
an increase of $2.2 million or 15.9% from $14.0 million for the first nine
months of fiscal 1996. The increase in interest expense was due to higher debt
levels arising from the acquisition of TNCC offset somewhat by lower average
interest rates. The lower average interest rates reflect the debt incurred to
finance the acquisition of TNCC, most of which was financed at floating rates
which are lower than the Company's fixed rate public debt, thereby reducing
the average interest rate. 

The income tax provision was $4.6 million (38.5% of pre-tax income) for the
first nine months of fiscal 1997, an increase of $3.2 million compared to an
income tax provision of $1.4 million (39.5% of the pre-tax income) recorded
for the first nine months of fiscal 1996. Accordingly, the Company recorded
net income of $7.3 million (2.1% of net sales) or $0.52 per share for the
first nine months of fiscal 1997 compared to a net income of $2.2 million
(0.8% of net sales) or $0.16 per share for the first nine months of fiscal
1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

General

The Company believes that internally generated cash flow, supplemented by
borrowings under its revolving credit facility and vendor financing, will be
sufficient to meet its foreseeable debt service requirements, capital
expenditures, and working capital needs.  The Company is considered highly
leveraged, with a total debt to total capital ratio of 69.7% at September 27,
1997.

The Company filed a Preliminary Registration Statement Form S-1 with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on September 26, 1997.  Upon the
SEC declaring the Registration Statement effective, the Company intends to
offer for sale common stock which will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange
(the "Offering").  If such Offering is consummated, it is anticipated that the
Company will receive approximately $65 million in net proceeds during the
fourth quarter, 1997.  However, there can be no assurance that the Offering
will be consummated or that the net proceeds will approximate $65 million. 
Should the Offering be consummated, the Company plans to use the net proceeds
to reduce its debt.

Credit Facilities and Vendor Financing

The total cash requirement on February 3, 1997 to consummate the acquisition of
TNCC's assets was $67 million including an escrow deposit of $6.5 million and
approximately $2 million for fees, expenses and certain closing items.  The
funds were provided by using $12.1 million of cash on hand and borrowings of
$19.9 million and $35 million, respectively, under a new working capital credit
line and term loan, described as follows.  The Company received $1.7 million
from the escrow deposit in July 1997.

On February 3, 1997, in order to finance the acquisition of TNCC, the
Company replaced its $60.0 million revolving credit facility with a working 
capital line of credit (the "Working Capital Facility") under which the Company
has $90.0 million aggregate borrowing availability, subject to a borrowing base
limitation, and a four-year term loan (the "Term Loan Facility"), under which
the Company has $35.0 million of aggregate borrowing availability. The Working
Capital Facility and Term Loan Facility (together, the "Credit Facilities") are
secured by the Company's accounts receivable and inventories, the personal
property located at the three former Cherokee manufacturing facilities, and the
real property of the TNCC North Carolina manufacturing facilities.

The Working Capital Facility bears interest at the Base Rate, as defined
(8.50% as of October 27, 1997) or LIBOR plus 2% (7.78% as of October 27, 1997)
for periods of one, two, three or six months, at the Company's option. The
Working Capital Facility is non-amortizing and any amounts outstanding are due
at the final maturity of February 3, 2001. At October 27, 1997, the Company
had an aggregate of $11.5 million of borrowings and $0.2 million in letters of
credit outstanding under the Working Capital Facility and had $71.5 million in
unused and available borrowings under the Working Capital Facility. 

The Term Loan Facility bears interest at the Base Rate or LIBOR plus 2.50%
(8.28% as of October 27, 1997) for periods of one, two, three or six months,
at the Company's option. Principal payments are required in the following
amounts for each fiscal year: 1997, $1.75 million; 1998, $4.25 million; 1999,
$5.0 million, and 2000, $24.0 million, of which $20.25 million is due November
2000. At October 27, 1997, the Company had an aggregate of $34.1 million of
borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan Facility. 
 
The Credit Agreement relating to the Credit Facilities contains certain
covenants including requirements for the maintenance of a certain cash
interest coverage ratio and a minimum net worth and limitations on mergers and
consolidations, affiliated transactions, incurring liens, making restricted
payments, entering into sale and leaseback transactions, disposing of assets
and owning, purchasing or acquiring margin securities. An event of default
under the Credit Agreement includes a Change in Control (as defined) as well
as the Company's default on certain of its other indebtedness. Borrowings
under the Working Capital Facility are tied to a borrowing base formula which
is dependent on the level of eligible accounts receivable and inventories,
less $10 million.
 
  In addition, the Company finances certain capital improvements through
vendors of the capital assets, and will continue to utilize this method of
financing where it deems appropriate.

Working Capital

Net cash generated from operating activities was $27.3 million in the nine
months ended September 27, 1997.  Included in that amount is a use of cash for
operating assets and liabilities of $8.2 million, primarily comprised of a
$10.1 million use for operating working capital (accounts receivable - $1.6
million source, inventories - $16.3 million use, and accounts payable and
accrued expenses - $4.7 million source).  

During the comparable nine month period ended September 28, 1996, net cash
generated from operating activities was $27.8 million.  Included in that amount
is a source of cash from operating assets and liabilities of $8.5 million,
primarily comprised of a $8.5 million source from operating working capital
(accounts receivable - $2.8 source, inventories - $7.3 million source, and
accounts payable and accrued expenses - $1.5 million use).

Capital Improvements

During the first nine months of 1997, the Company purchased $13.7 million in
equipment and manufacturing improvements.  The Company expects to continue
modernizing and making capital improvements over the next several years, which
are anticipated to be financed through cash generated by operations, vendor
financing, and borrowings under the credit agreement.

                          PART II - OTHER INFORMATION 



Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

        Dan River has registered the "Bed-in-a-Bag" name as a trademark. In 
February 1997, a competitor filed a Petition for Cancellation of the trademark
in the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the "U.S. Patent Office"). Dan
River filed its answer to the Petition for Cancellation and intends to
vigorously defend the action. The Petition Challenges only the exclusivity of
the trademark and not the Company's right to continue to use the phrase in
connection with its products. Therefore, while the Company cannot predict the
outcome of this matter, the Company believes that the loss of such exclusivity
would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business or prospects.

Items 2-5. No disclosure required.

Item 6.        Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K.

               None.
