5.   Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130,
     "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"), at the beginning of
     fiscal year 1998.  SFAS 130 establishes standards for the reporting and
     display of comprehensive income and its components in financial
     statements.  Comprehensive income includes net income and other items,
     such as minimum pension liability adjustments, which previously were
     reported directly in shareholders' equity.  There were no differences
     between net income and comprehensive income during the nine months ended
     October 3, 1998 and September 27, 1997.  In addition, accumulated other
     comprehensive income was $-0- at October 3, 1998 and January 3, 1998.

     In February 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 132, "Employers'
     Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits" ("SFAS
     132").  This standard revises financial statement disclosures about
     pensions and other postretirement benefit plans, but does not change the
     measurement or recognition of costs or obligations under these plans. 
     SFAS 132 is effective for the Company's 1999 fiscal year.  

     In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
     issued Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer
     Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use" ("SOP 98-1"), which
     requires capitalization of certain costs to develop or obtain software
     for internal use.  SOP 98-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning
     after December 15, 1998, with earlier application permitted.  The
     Company has not yet assessed the impact of SOP 98-1, but it will likely
     result in capitalization of certain costs which previously would have
     been expensed.

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
     of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
     Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"), which is required to
     be adopted in years beginning after June 15, 1999.  The Company has not
     yet determined when it will adopt SFAS 133 or what impact, if any, the
     adoption will have on its earnings or financial position. 

6.   Subsequent Events

     Acquisition 

     On October 14, 1998 the Company acquired all of the capital stock of The
     Bibb Company ("Bibb") pursuant to a merger agreement originally entered
     into on June 28, 1998, and as amended through September 23, 1998.  The
     Company paid approximately $83 million in cash and issued approximately
     4,257,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock in consideration for all of
     the outstanding Bibb Common Stock.  The transaction will be accounted
     for as a purchase.  

     In connection with the acquisition of Bibb, the Company entered into a
     new five year secured credit agreement, (the "New Credit Agreement"),
     consisting of a $125 million amortizing term loan and a $150 million
     revolving line of credit.  Borrowings under the New Credit Agreement
     were used to fund the cash portion of the Bibb acquisition, and
<PAGE>
<PAGE>     10


     refinance approximately $78 million of Bibb indebtedness.  In addition,
     $37 million in borrowings under the New Credit Agreement were used to
     retire the Company's existing $90 million working capital line of
     credit.

     Bibb is a manufacturer and marketer of:  consumer products for the home,
     principally sheets, bedding and bedding accessories; textile products
     for the hospitality and healthcare industries; and specialty engineered
     textile products used in making high-pressure hoses and other industrial
     products.

     Plant Closure

     On October 28, 1998, the Board of Directors approved the closure of the
     Company's apparel fabrics weaving plant located in Spindale, North
     Carolina.  The plant closure is expected to result in a pre-tax charge
     of approximately $8.5 million in the fourth quarter of 1998, primarily
     for the writedown of fixed assets. 

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

Net sales for the third quarter of 1998 were $118.6 million, an increase of
$2.3 million or 2.0%, compared to the third quarter of 1997.  Sales of home
fashions products increased $4.9 million or 7.4%, while sales of apparel
fabrics were down $2.6 million or 5.2% (despite the third quarter of 1998
having 13 shipping weeks compared to 12 shipping weeks in 1997).

The increase in sales of home fashions products resulted from higher unit
volumes, particularly complete bed ensembles, offset by lower average pricing
reflecting increased sales to the mass market channels of distribution.  The
decrease in sales of apparel fabrics resulted from the absence of certain
commission dyeing and yarn sales that were included in the third quarter of
1997.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 1998 of $27.8 million or 23.5% of sales
was slightly below gross profit of $28.2 million or 24.3% of sales recorded
for the third quarter of 1997.  Gross profits on sales of home fashions
products were virtually unchanged.  Increased volume and lower raw material
prices were offset by a less profitable mix and higher manufacturing costs as
a result of increased usage of outside suppliers.  Gross profits on sales of
apparel fabrics were slightly lower reflecting lower volumes offset somewhat
by lower raw material costs.  

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 1998
were $14.3 million (12.1% of sales), relatively flat when compared to $14.1
million (12.1% of sales) for the third quarter of 1997.

Due to the factors described above, quarterly operating income was $13.5
million or 11.4% of sales for the third quarter of 1998.  This compares with
$14.1 million or 12.1% of sales for the third quarter of 1997.

<PAGE>
<PAGE>     11


Interest expense for the third quarter of 1998 was $4.0 million, a decrease
of $1.5 million from the third quarter of 1997.  The decrease in interest
expense was due to lower debt levels as a result of the Company's initial
public offering of common stock in November 1997, from which it used the
proceeds of $64.5 million to reduce debt.

An income tax provision of $3.7 million was recorded in the third quarter of
1998 (38.5%  of pre-tax income) compared to an income tax provision of $3.1
million (38.5% of pre-tax income) recorded in the third quarter of 1997.

Accordingly, net income was $5.8 million or $0.31 per basic share on
18,825,000 shares outstanding for the third quarter of 1998 compared to $5.0
million or $0.35 per basic share on 14,155,000 shares outstanding for the
third quarter of 1997.

Net sales for the first nine months of 1998 were $358.1 million up $13.9
million or 4.0% from the corresponding period of 1997.  Sales of home
fashions products were up $28.1 million or 15.4%, while sales of apparel
fabrics were down $14.2 million or 8.8% during the applicable period.

The increase in sales of home fashions products was primarily due to higher
unit volumes of bed ensembles.  The decrease in sales of apparel fabrics
resulted from lower unit volumes across all major product categories caused
by lower demand and the absence of certain commission dyeing and yarn sales
that were included in the first nine months of 1997.

Gross profit for the first nine months of 1998 was $81.0 million (22.6% of
sales) up $5.6 million or 7.4% from the first nine months of 1997, during
which gross margins were 21.9% of sales.  The increase in gross profit was
due to higher volumes in home fashions and lower raw material costs offset by
a less profitable mix and increased costs as a result of using more outside
suppliers to support the sales increase.  There were lower volumes in apparel
fabrics offset by a better sales mix, lower raw material costs, and lower
manufacturing costs as a result of the integration of The New Cherokee
Corporation and the closure of the Riverside weaving plant.

During the first nine months of 1998 the Company recognized a gain of
$400,000 on the early termination of a lease.  This is reflected under "Other
Operating Costs, Net."  This compares to a charge of $7.9 million incurred
during the comparable period in 1997 as a result of the Company's decision to
close the Riverside apparel fabrics weaving operation.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first nine months of
1998 were $2.3 million (5.8%) higher than the corresponding period of 1997.
The increase was caused primarily by increased spending for management
information systems, higher spending to support the Company's Nautica line of
home fashions products and increased color matching activity to support the
fashion trends in the business.  For the first nine months of 1998, these
expenses represented 11.6% of sales compared to 11.4% of sales for the
comparable period in 1997.

For the reasons described above, operating income for the first nine months
of 1998 was $39.9 million, up $11.5 million or 40.7% from the first nine
months of 1997.  Excluding one-time gains and charges, operating income was
$39.5 million for the first nine months of 1998, up $3.3 million or 9.0% from
the $36.2 million recorded for the first nine months of 1997. <PAGE>
<PAGE>     12


Interest expense for the first nine months of 1998 was $11.7 million, a
decrease of $4.5 million from the first nine months of 1997.  The decrease in
interest expense was due to lower debt levels as a result of the Company's
initial public offering of common stock in November 1997, from which it used
the proceeds of $64.5 million to reduce debt.

An income tax provision of $10.9 million was recorded for the first nine
months of 1998 (38.1% of pre-tax income) compared to an income tax provision
of $4.6 million (38.5% of pre-tax income) recorded for the first nine months
of 1997.

Accordingly, net income was $17.7 million or $0.94 per basic share on
18,832,000 shares outstanding for the first nine months of 1998 compared to
$7.3 million or $0.52 per basic share on 14,155,000 shares outstanding for
the first nine months of 1997.

Plant Closure

On October 28, 1998, the Board of Directors approved the closure of the
Company's apparel fabrics weaving plant located in Spindale, North Carolina. 
The plant closure is expected to result in a pre-tax charge of approximately
$8.5 million in the fourth quarter of 1998, primarily for the writedown of
fixed assets. 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

General

The Company believes that internally generated cash flow, supplemented by
borrowings under its working capital line of credit, will be sufficient to
meet its foreseeable debt service requirements, capital expenditures, and
working capital needs.  The Company had a debt to total capital ratio of
46.3% at October 3, 1998.

On October 14, 1998 the Company acquired The Bibb Company in a transaction
where Bibb shareholders received cash and Dan River stock and the Bibb
indebtedness was assumed by the Company. As a result, the Company issued 4.3
million shares of Dan River Class A common stock, paid Bibb shareholders $83
million and assumed $95 million in debt. The transaction also required the
refinancing of $37 million of borrowings outstanding under the Company's $90
million working capital line of credit.  Of the $95 million in Bibb debt
assumed and outstanding on the date of the acquisition $78 million was repaid
on that date. To finance the acquisition, including fees and expenses, the
Company entered into a five year credit agreement with a new syndicate of
banks providing for total borrowings up to $275 million pursuant to a $125
million amortizing term loan and a $150 million revolving line of credit (New
Credit Agreement). The New Credit Agreement is secured by the Company's
accounts receivable and inventories. As of October 22, 1998 $209 million was
outstanding under the New Credit Agreement and $66 million was available for
borrowings. 

Credit Facilities

As of October 3,1998 the Company had a $90 million secured working capital
line of credit (Old Credit Line). The Old Credit Line was tied to a borrowing
<PAGE>
<PAGE>     13


base formula and was secured by the Company's accounts receivable and
inventories.  As of October 3, 1998, $35.0 million was used and $54.9 million
was unused and available for borrowing. The borrowings were repaid and the
Old Credit Line was terminated upon establishing the New Credit Agreement
with a $150 million credit line (New Credit Line) and a $125 million term
loan (Term Loan) in conjunction with the Bibb acquisition on October 14,
1998.

Borrowings under the New Credit Agreement bears interest at the Base Rate
plus 0.125%, as defined (8.13% as of October 23, 1998) or LIBOR plus 1.375%
(6.58% as of October 23, 1998), for periods one, two, three or six months, at
the Company's option.  Each quarter the interest rates are reset subject to a
schedule where the interest rate is determined depending on the Company's
financial performance as measured by a debt-to-cash flow leverage ratio. The
New Credit Line is nonamortizing and any amounts outstanding are due at the
final maturity of the New Credit Agreement, September 30, 2003. The $125
million New Term Loan amortizes with required quarterly principal payments
beginning  March 31, 2000 with $20 million, $33 million, $40 million and $32
million due in 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively. The New Term Loan
terminates on September 30, 2003.

The New Credit Agreement is provided pursuant to a Credit Agreement and a
Security Agreement which contain certain covenants including requirements for
the maintenance of a certain minimum cash flow-to-interest coverage ratio and
a maximum debt-to-cash flow ratio.

Working Capital

Net cash generated from operating activities was $11.3 million in the nine
months ended October 3, 1998.  Included in that amount is a use of cash for
operating assets and liabilities of $35.0 million, comprised of a $33.3
million use for operating working capital (accounts receivable - $4.9 million
source, inventories - $35.1 million use, and accounts payable accrued
expenses - $3.1 million use) and a $1.7 million use of cash for prepaid
expenses and other assets and other liabilities.

During the comparable period 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,
comprised of a $10.1 million use for operating working capital (accounts
receivable - $1.6 million source, inventories - $16.4 million use, and
accounts payable and accrued expenses - $4.7 million source) and a $1.9
million source for prepaid expenses and other assets and other liabilities.

Capital Improvements

During the first nine months of 1998, the Company purchased $29.8 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 and
borrowings under the New Credit Line.

Impact of Year 2000 

The Company presently expects to spend approximately $12.2 million during
1998 and 1999 to modify its computer information systems to ensure the proper
processing of transactions relating to Year 2000 and beyond.  Included in
this amount are expenditures to implement certain new or improved systems
which not only achieve Year 2000 compliance, but significantly improve and
expand operational capabilities of certain of the Company's computer systems.

Specifically, the Company has successfully installed improved financial and
material management systems which are Year 2000 compliant and are
operational.  It is installing a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
System for its home fashions operations and modifying the existing ERP System
for the apparel fabrics operations to ensure Year 2000 compliance.  The
modification of the apparel fabrics ERP System is expected to be completed by
the end of 1998.  The Dan River home fashions ERP System is expected to be
completed by the second quarter of 1999.  Also, as a result of the acquisi-
tion of The Bibb Company, its systems will need to be converted to Dan
River's systems.  The corporate systems of Bibb, i.e., financial, human
resources, etc. are expected to be converted by the end of the first quarter
of 1999 and the ERP systems for the home fashions and engineered products
businesses are expected to be converted by the end of the third quarter of
1999.  

Additionally, the Company is communicating with its suppliers, vendors,
including machinery manufacturers, and customers to determine the status of
their Year 2000 initiatives.

Based on analyses of its own systems and discussions with and surveys of its
key vendors and customers, management currently believes that Company
information systems affected by Year 2000 issues have been or will be timely
identified and that its implementation plans will render all material systems
Year 2000 compliant on a timely basis; however, should other entities upon
whose systems the Company relies fail to properly address Year 2000
compliance issues, or should key resources required to achieve the
initiatives described herein become unavailable or prove to be unreliable,
the Company's effectiveness in achieving Year 2000 compliance could be
delayed, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results
of operations.
