DAN RIVER INC. ACQUIRES THE BIBB COMPANY


Today, Dan River Inc. (NYSE:DRF) and The Bibb Company (AMEX:BIB) announced that
their shareholders have approved the acquisition of Bibb by Dan River,
headquartered in Danville, Virginia, in a transaction valued at approximately
$250 million. Preliminary results indicate that holders of 9,853,182 shares of
the 10,061,576 Bibb shares outstanding elected to receive their merger
consideration in cash and holders of 6,207 shares elected to receive stock. In
accordance with the merger agreement, the cash elections will be prorated to
result in a 50% cash/50% stock transaction.

Following this transaction Dan River Inc. will have annual sales of
approximately $750 million and approximately 8,000 associates. The combination
makes Dan River one of the largest vertical manufacturers and marketers of bed
products in the United States.

Joseph L. Lanier, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Dan River said,
"The acquisition of Bibb permits us to continue growing our home fashions
business while enhancing our market position by adding three new bedding
segments; the juvenile, health care and hospitality markets. This creates a
stronger more competitive home fashions company. "

Mr. Lanier further stated, "Now that the acquisition has taken place we can get
about the business of putting these two fine companies together. We will be
rationalizing the administrative functions and aligning the manufacturing
operations very quickly, as well as embarking on an expanded modernization
program. The results of these actions should provide significant cost
reductions to be realized over the next year. We are excited by the opportunity
to create this stronger, more competitive company and the benefits it will
bring to our shareholders, associates and customers."

Dan River Inc. is a leading manufacturer and marketer of textile products for
the home fashions and apparel fabrics markets. The company designs,
manufactures and markets a coordinated line of value-added home fashions
products consisting of packaged bedroom furnishings such as comforters, sheets,
pillowcases, shams bed skirts, decorative pillows and draperies. These home
fashions products are sold under the Dan River trade name as well as Alexander
Julian, D. Porthault, John Wilman, and Nautica licenses. Dan River also
manufactures and markets a broad range of high quality woven cotton and cotton
blend fabrics for apparel and is the leading supplier of men's dress shirting
fabrics in North America. Dan River operates manufacturing facilities in
Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee.

Bibb is a manufacturer and marketer of consumer products for the home,
principally sheets, bedding and bath accessories; textile products for the
hospitality and healthcare industries; and specialty engineered textile
products used in making high-pressure hoses and other industrial products. Bibb
operates manufacturing facilities in Georgia, South Carolina, and Virginia.

Note: This press release contains statements regarding the expectations of Bibb
and Dan River concerning future events and future performance of the combined
companies. These statements constitute forward-looking statements under
applicable securities laws. Dan River's performance after the consummation of
the merger could be materially and adversely affected by, among other things,
its inability to achieve cost savings or other anticipated benefits from the
Bibb acquisition as planned, decreases in demand for Dan River's products, the
failure to remain competitive with respect to factors such as price, product
styling and customer service, fluctuations in the price and availability of
cotton, deterioration of relationships with material customers, and adverse
changes in general market and industry conditions. Management believes these
forward looking statements are reasonable; however, undue reliance should not
be placed on such statements, which are based on current expectations. For a
more detailed discussion of risks associated with Dan River's business, see Dan
River's Current Report on Form 8-K which was filed with the Securities and

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
The Bibb Company:

  We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of THE BIBB COMPANY (a
Delaware corporation) as of January 3, 1998 and December 28, 1996 and the
related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit),
and cash flows for the year ended January 3, 1998, the three months ended
December 28, 1996, the nine months ended September 28, 1996, and the year ended
December 30, 1995. These financial statements and the schedule referred to
below, are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements and the schedule
referred to below, based on our audits.

  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

  In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of The Bibb Company as of January
3, 1998 and December 28, 1996 and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the year ended January 3, 1998, the three months ended December 28,
1996, the nine months ended September 28, 1996, and the year ended December 30,
1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

  As discussed in Note 1, the Company's reorganization plan was confirmed by
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court on September 12, 1996 and became effective September
27, 1996 (effective September 28, 1996 for financial reporting purposes). In
accordance with Statement of Position 90-7 of the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants, "Financial Reporting by Entities in
Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code," the Company was required to account
for the reorganization using fresh start reporting. Accordingly, all financial
statements prior to September 28, 1996 are not comparable to the financial
statements for periods after the implementation of fresh start reporting.

  Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The schedule included in the index to
financial statements is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities
and Exchange Commission's rules and is not a required part of the basic
financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in our audits of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
           JANUARY 3, 1998, DECEMBER 28, 1996, AND DECEMBER 30, 1995

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

  The Bibb Company (the "Company") is engaged in the manufacturing and
marketing of consumer products for the home, principally sheets, pillowcases,
and other bedding accessories, as well as apparel fabrics and other specialty
engineered textile products used in making high-pressure hoses and other
industrial products. The Company operates manufacturing plants in Georgia,
South Carolina, and Virginia and has been engaged in the manufacturing and
marketing of textile products since 1876. The Company's major customers are
primarily retailers and hose manufacturers located throughout the United
States.

  In 1993, the Company entered into an agreement of limited partnership with an
affiliate whereby the Company agreed to contribute receivables to BF Funding,
L.P. ("BF Funding" or the "Partnership"), a Georgia limited partnership, in
exchange for limited partnership interests representing 98.5% of the total
capital of BF Funding. The primary purpose of BF Funding was to acquire
receivables of the Company which were transferred to a trust and sold to
third-party investors. Under the agreement, the profits and losses of BF
Funding were allocated in proportion to each partner's share of capital
contributions. On July 5, 1996, the Company repurchased the receivables from BF
Funding for par plus accrued interest, in the total amount of $50,155,000. The
repurchase liquidated the limited partnership interests. The financial
statements for the year ended December 30, 1995 include the accounts of the
Company and the Partnership.

CONSUMMATION OF THE RESTRUCTURING

  On July 3, 1996, the Company filed a voluntary petition for reorganization
under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Court.

  On September 12, 1996, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware issued an order confirming the reorganization plan (the "Plan"). The
Plan was consummated on September 27, 1996 (the "Effective Date") (effective
September 28, 1996 for financial reporting purposes).

  The consummation of the Plan resulted in, among other things, (i) the
discharge of approximately $197 million in long-term debt, including accrued
interest, and (ii) the issuance of 9,500,000 shares of common stock to the
holders of the 14% and 13 7/8% senior subordinated notes and 500,000 shares to
the holders of old common stock. The Plan did not alter, adjust, or reduce the
Company's obligations to its other creditors.

  Upon consummation of the Plan, the Company recognized an extraordinary gain
on the discharge of debt of approximately $112 million, which represented
forgiveness of debt principal and interest, reduced by the estimated fair value
of common stock issued to the holders of the 14% and 13 7/8% senior
subordinated notes.

  Pursuant to the Plan, the Company obtained financing from lending
institutions to repay its senior revolving credit facility (Note 6) and finance
additional capital expenditures (the "Loan and Security Agreement"). Under the
Loan and Security Agreement, the Company is entitled to make borrowings in the
form of a term loan and revolving loans available to the extent that a
sufficient borrowing base, calculated based on eligible receivables and
inventory, exists.

  As of the Effective Date, in accordance with the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position 90-7, "Financial Reporting
by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code," the Company adopted
fresh start reporting (see discussion below).

SALE OF THE TERRY PRODUCTS BUSINESS

  In connection with the restructuring, management approved a plan to sell the
Company's terry products business (the "Terry Sale"), which designs and
manufactures bath towels and other terry products sold primarily to retail
chains, specialty chains, and mass merchants, as well as to hotels, hospitals,
and others serving the hospitality market.

  On February 21, 1997, the Company sold the business to WestPoint Stevens,
Inc. for approximately $38.8 million.

  Assets included in the Terry Sale are recorded in the balance sheet as of
December 28, 1996 as "assets held for sale" based on the net proceeds of the
sale, including losses related to the terry products business from December 29,
1996 through February 21, 1997. Terry products business losses for this period
have been eliminated from the statement of operations.

  Net sales of the terry products business for the three months ended December
28, 1996 were approximately $20 million. Net losses of the terry products
business for the three months ended December 28, 1996 were approximately $1.8
million.

FRESH START REPORTING

  For accounting purposes, the Company assumed that the Plan was consummated on
September 28, 1996. Under the principles of fresh start reporting, the
Company's reorganization value was allocated to identifiable assets on the
basis of their estimated fair values. The total reorganization value assigned
to the Company's assets was estimated by calculating projected cash flows
before debt service requirements for a four-year period, plus an estimated
terminal value of the Company (calculated using a multiple of approximately six
on projected earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization
("EBITDA")), each discounted back to its present value using a discount rate of
14% (representing the estimated after-tax weighted cost of capital). The above
calculations resulted in an estimated reorganization value of approximately
$238 million and a resulting $88.4 million of stockholders' equity after
deducting current liabilities of approximately $60 million and long-term debt
of approximately $90 million.

  As a result of the implementation of fresh start reporting, the financial
statements of the Company after the consummation of the Plan are not comparable
to the Company's financial statements of prior periods. The effect of the Plan,
the reclassification of assets associated with the Terry Sale, and the
implementation of fresh start reporting on the Company's balance sheet as of
September 28, 1996 was as follows (in thousands) (unaudited):

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

  The Company's annual reporting period is the 52 or 53-week period ending on
the Saturday nearest December 31. The Company's results of operations and cash
flows are presented for the year ended January 3, 1998 (53 weeks), the three
months ended December 28, 1996 (13 weeks), the nine months ended September 28,
1996 (39 weeks), and the year ended December 30, 1995 (52 weeks).

  For accounting purposes, the Company treated the consummation of the Plan as
if it occurred on September 28, 1996. The financial statements as of and for
the three months ended December 28, 1996 and the year ended January 3, 1998 are
presented for the Company after the consummation of the Plan. As discussed
previously, these statements were prepared under the principles of fresh start
reporting and are not comparable to the statements of prior periods.
Accordingly, a line has been used to separate the financial statements of the
Company after the consummation of the Plan from those of the Company prior to
the consummation of the Plan.

USE OF ESTIMATES

  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

  The Company considers all short-term deposits with an original maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.

INVENTORIES

  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined
using the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method except for certain supplies, for
which cost is determined using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method. Market
is defined as net realizable value. Cost includes raw materials, direct labor,
and manufacturing overhead. Approximately 96% of total inventories were valued
using the LIFO method at January 3, 1998 and December 28, 1996.

PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT

  As a result of the adoption of fresh start reporting, property, plant, and
equipment were adjusted to their estimated fair values as of September 28, 1996
and historical accumulated depreciation was eliminated. Depreciation is
provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful asset lives.
Upon implementation of fresh start reporting, existing buildings and
improvements are depreciated over a remaining life of 20 years, and existing
machinery and equipment is depreciated over a remaining life of 5 years.
Buildings and machinery and equipment placed in service subsequent to the
implementation of fresh start reporting are depreciated over estimated useful
lives of 30 and 15 years, respectively. Leasehold improvements are depreciated
over the shorter of the estimated useful asset life or the term of the related
lease.

  During 1997, the Company entered into three equipment leases which qualify as
capital leases under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
13, "Accounting for Leases." Accordingly, the equipment under capital lease
obligations has been recorded at the net present value of the estimated minimum
required lease payments at the inception of the lease using the Company's
incremental borrowing rate.


                                       9
<PAGE>   10
                                      
  Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred, and major renewals and
betterments are capitalized. Construction in progress is transferred to
machinery and equipment when the asset is complete and placed in service. When
property or equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the related carrying
value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any
resulting gain or loss is recorded in the statement of operations.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

  SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-
Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," requires that long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles held and used by a Company be reviewed for possible
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. SFAS No. 121 also requires
that long-lived assets and certain identifiable assets held for sale, be
reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less cost to sell. The
Company adopted SFAS No. 121 during 1996. Impairment losses of $750 were
recorded in 1997 related to closed facilities, and no impairment losses were
recorded in 1996 (See Note 3).

PENSIONS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

  SFAS No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions," requires that a company
record an additional minimum pension liability to the extent that a company's
accumulated pension benefit obligation exceeds the fair value of pension plan
assets and accrued pension liabilities. This additional minimum pension
liability is offset by an intangible asset, not to exceed prior service costs
of the pension plan. Amounts in excess of prior service costs are reflected as
a reduction in stockholders' equity. As a result of the adoption of fresh start
reporting, all previously unrecognized amounts relating to the projected
benefit obligation as of September 28, 1996 were recognized in the nine months
ended September 28, 1996.

  Prior to 1993, the Company accounted for retiree health care and life
insurance benefits on a pay-as-you-go basis. Effective January 2, 1993, the
Company adopted SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other Than Pensions." As a result of the adoption of fresh start
reporting, all previously unrecognized amounts relating to the projected
benefit obligation as of September 28, 1996 were recognized in the nine months
ended September 28, 1996.

STOCK OPTIONS

  In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." This new standard defines a
fair value-based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar
equity instrument. This statement gives entities a choice of recognizing
related compensation expense by adopting the new fair value method or to
continue to measure compensation using the intrinsic value approach under
Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25. Although Opinion No. 25 has
been elected for measurement purposes, SFAS No. 123 requires supplemental
disclosure to show the effects of using the new measurement criteria (See Note
8).

EXTRAORDINARY ITEM

  In connection with the restructuring, as described in Note 1, during the nine
months ended September 28, 1996, the Company recorded an extraordinary gain of
approximately $111,650,000 on the discharge of debt.

NET LOSS PER SHARE

  Basic loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding, which was 10,061,576 and 9,986,413 for the year ended
January 3, 1998 and the three months ended December 28, 1996, respectively.
Diluted loss per share is calculated treating all potentially dilutive
securities such as stock options as outstanding during the entire period, or
from grant date if granted during the period. All such options (744,000 at
January 3, 1998 and 200,000 at December 28, 1996) were anti-dilutive for the
year ended January 3, 1998, and for the three months ended December 28, 1996,
and therefore, were excluded from the earnings per share calculation for such
periods.

<PAGE>   11
                                   
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

  The following summarizes the major methods and assumptions used in estimating
the fair values of financial instruments:

  CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS, AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

    The carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity
  period of these instruments.

  DEBT

    The carrying amounts of the debt under the Loan and Security Agreement and
  the industrial development revenue bonds approximate fair value based on
  current interest rates for similar financial instruments.

CERTAIN RISKS

  The Company is subject to certain risks in the ordinary course of business.
Among those is the risk of an increase in cotton prices that significantly
affects the cost of production and cash flows. Historically, the Company has
been able to pass on a portion of any such price increases to its customers.

  The Company is self-insured for worker's compensation liability in the state
of Georgia, and was previously self-insured in North Carolina, through November
1997. Provisions for losses expected under these self-insurance programs are
recorded based on the Company's estimates of the aggregate liability for claims
incurred. These estimates utilize the Company's prior experience. The total
estimated liability for these losses at January 3, 1998 and December 28, 1996
was approximately $1,646,000 and $2,300,000, respectively, and is included in
other accrued liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

  In July 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income ("SFAS No. 130"), which establishes
standards for reporting and display of "comprehensive income," which is the
total of net income and all other non-owner changes in stockholder's equity,
and its components. The Company is in the process of evaluating SFAS No. 130
and its impact and will adopt the standard in the first quarter of its 1998
fiscal year.

  In July 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS No. 131"). SFAS No. 131, which
supersedes SFAS No. 14, 18, 24, and 30, establishes new standards for segment
reporting, using the "management approach," in which reportable segments are
based on the same criteria on which management disaggregates a business for
making operating decisions and assessing performance. The Company is in the
process of evaluating SFAS No. 131 and its impact and will adopt the standard
for its 1998 fiscal year.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

  Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in order to conform to the
current year presentation.

3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

  In December 1997, the Company sold its napery business, which consisted of
the manufacturing and marketing of damask table linen products serving the
hospitality market (the "Napery Business"), and related inventory, to Mount
Vernon Mills, Inc. In connection therewith, the Company has closed its Roanoke
Rapids, North Carolina napery manufacturing plant and will actively seek a
buyer. The Company classified the assets of the Napery Business as of January
3, 1998 as net assets of discontinued operations, and the results of operations
of the Napery Business are excluded from the Company's continuing operations.


                                      11
<PAGE>   12
  In December 1997, the Company announced that it intends to exit the apparel
business, which consisted of the manufacturing and marketing of apparel
fabrics, principally chambray, sold primarily to converters (the "Apparel
Business") during the first quarter of 1998. As a result, the Company announced
that its Columbus, Georgia apparel manufacturing facility will be closed during
the first quarter of 1998. The assets of the Apparel Business will be
liquidated subsequent to cessation of operations. The Company classified the
assets, except for real estate, of the Apparel Business as net current assets
of discontinued operations, and the results of operations for the Apparel
Business are excluded from the Company's continuing operations.

  The table below sets forth net sales and income (loss) of the discontinued
Apparel Business and the discontinued Napery Business (in thousands):

Napery and Apparel, respectively, for the year ended January 3, 1998, and $75
and $170 for Napery and Apparel, respectively, for the three months ended
December 28, 1996. Such interest expense has been allocated based on the net
assets of the respective discontinued businesses, applying the Company's
incremental borrowing rate. Estimated losses on disposal of discontinued
businesses exclude an interest allocation.

  Upon the discontinuation of the Napery Business, the Company recorded a 
reserve for future claims of $100,000 related to inventory which remained 
subject to inspection by the buyer. Through the sale agreement with the buyer 
of the Napery inventory, the buyer had the ability to reject a portion of the 
inventory purchased, which at the time of purchase had not been woven from 
greige cloth into napery. The reserve recorded approximates the book value of 
this greige cloth which could be rejected by the buyer.

  In addition, the Company recorded a reserve for future severance of the 
Napery Business employees in the amount of $1,031,000. This accrual 
was calculated based on the union contract in place at the Roanoke Rapids, 
North Carolina facility, which was closed as a result of the discontinuance of 
the Napery Business. The contract required severance ranging from two weeks to 
three months, depending on employee classifications. The Company also recorded 
a reserve for future overhead costs of $200,000 representing estimated fixed 
overhead costs at the closed facility, primarily consisting of property taxes 
and security, between the measurement date and the estimated disposal date.

  With respect to the announcement of the Company's exiting of the Apparel 
Business, the Company recorded a reserve for future claims of $225,000. This 
reserve represents an estimate of future quality claims of specific products 
that had been sold prior to January 3, 1998.

  In addition, the Company recorded a reserve for future severance of its 
Columbus, Georgia apparel manufacturing facility employees of $1,150,000. This 
accrual was calculated based on the Company's normal severance policy. The 
policy required severance pay of approximately five weeks, depending on 
employee classification. In addition, to the extent that salaried personnel 
were due severance, such amounts were included in the reserve recorded. The 
Company also recorded a reserve for future overhead costs of $350,000, 
representing estimated fixed overhead costs at the closed facility, primarily 
property taxes, electricity and security between the measurement date and the 
estimated disposal date.

LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

  As part of the Plan, the Company obtained financing from lending institutions
to repay the old senior revolving credit facility and finance additional
capital expenditures. Under the Loan and Security Agreement, as amended, the
Company is entitled to borrow up to a maximum of $75 million. Borrowings in the
form of a term loan of $25 million and in the form of revolving loans are only
available to the extent that a sufficient borrowing base, calculated on
eligible receivables and inventory, exists. Borrowings under this credit
facility bear interest at prime rate, as defined, (8.5% at January 3, 1998)
plus 1%, or, at the Company's option, the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, as defined,
(5.9% at January 3, 1998) plus 3%. This credit agreement is for a minimum of
three years, subject to one-year extensions unless terminated by the lenders or
the Company. Substantially all of the Company's assets are pledged as
collateral under the Loan and Security Agreement.


                                      13
<PAGE>   14
         The agreement contains restrictive financial and other covenants,
including maintaining certain levels of tangible net worth and working capital,
as defined, as well as restrictions on the incurrence of indebtedness, liens,
mergers, acquisitions, asset sales, capital expenditures, and dividends, among
others. The annual interest rate will be reduced by up to a maximum of one-half
of 1% if certain financial performance requirements in the Loan and Security
Agreement are met. In addition, the Company pays an annual service fee of
$100,000, a monthly facility fee of one-half of 1% per annum of the average
daily unused portion of the facility and a monthly letter of credit fee of 2.5%
per annum of the daily outstanding balance of each letter of credit.

         Financing fees incurred associated with the Loan and Security
Agreement, as amended, were approximately $3,668,000, and are being amortized
over the term of the agreement.

AMENDMENT NO. 4 TO LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

         Effective March 6, 1998, the Company entered into a new amendment to
the Loan and Security Agreement, significant provisions of the new amendment are
as follows:

         (i) increase of the term loan to $21.3 million, (ii) extension of the
renewal date from September 16, 1999 to November 1, 2000, (iii) reduction of the
tangible net worth covenant from a minimum of $70 million to a minimum of $50
million, (iv) reduction of the prepayment fees for replacing the credit
agreement after September 16, 1998, from $575,000 to $300,000, and (v) reduction
of the revolving loan limit to $60 million.

         As of March 9, 1998, the Company had the ability to borrow an
additional $6 million under the revolver associated with the Loan and Security
Agreement, as amended.

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT REVENUE BONDS

         Industrial development revenue bonds were issued and sold to refinance
the purchase of certain plants from WestPoint Stevens, Inc. These bonds were
backed by letters of credit issued under the old senior revolving credit
facility in the amount of approximately $11,141,000, including interest. The
bonds' maturity dates were December 2003 and October 2004.

         In January 1996, the Company closed the plants that were purchased in
connection with the issuance of the industrial development revenue bonds. On
December 10, 1996 and February 3, 1997, the Company redeemed the bonds for
$8,000,000 and $3,000,000, respectively.

7. INCOME TAXES

         Prior to September 28, 1996, the Company was an S corporation and was
generally not subject to corporate-level taxes on its net income because such
income was attributed to the Company's stockholders and taxes on such income was
directly payable by them. Effective and pursuant to the Plan, the Company became
a C corporation for income tax purposes.

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires the use of the liability method in
accounting for income taxes. Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial
reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in
effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred
income taxes also reflect the value of net operating losses and an offsetting
valuation allowance. There was no net income tax expense or benefit recorded in
the year ended January 3, 1998 or the three months ended December 28, 1996.

</TABLE>

         Under federal income tax laws, the Company was not required to include
in its federal taxable income any gain on the discharge of debt pursuant to the
Plan. Accordingly, no income taxes have been provided on the $112 million
extraordinary gain on discharge of debt in the statement of operations for the
nine months ended September 28, 1996.

         SFAS No. 109 requires that a valuation allowance be recorded against
deferred tax assets which are not likely to be realized. The Company's
utilization of net operating losses carried forward may be limited to specific
amounts each year. However, due to the uncertain nature of their ultimate
realization based upon past performance, the Company has established a valuation
allowance against these carryforward benefits and will recognize the benefits
only when a reassessment demonstrates they are realizable. Realization is
entirely dependent upon future earnings. While the need for this valuation
allowance is subject to periodic review, if the allowance is reduced, the tax
benefits of the carryforwards will be recorded in future operations as a
reduction of the Company's income tax expense.

8. BENEFIT PLANS

         Pursuant to the Plan, all stock option agreements related to the old
common stock of the Company were effectively terminated.

         The Company maintains an incentive compensation plan for its salaried
employees, which provides for incentive awards based on certain levels of
earnings. The amounts awarded under the plan and charged to expense in the
accompanying statements of operations were $350,000 for the year ended January
3, 1998 and $0 for the three months ended December 28, 1996, the nine months
ended September 28, 1996 and the year ended December 30, 1995.

         The Company maintains a separate defined contribution 401(k)
profit-sharing plan covering substantially all hourly and salaried employees.
Under this plan, the Company contributes a specified percentage of each eligible
employee's contributions. Amounts contributed under the plan were approximately
$586,000 for the year ended January 3, 1998, $196,000 for the three months ended
December 28, 1996, $506,000 for the nine months ended September 28, 1996, and
$786,000 for the year ended December 30, 1995.

         The Company also maintains an executive deferred compensation plan
under which eligible executives may elect to defer up to 50% of their
compensation. Amounts deferred are paid to the executives or their beneficiaries
following retirement, termination, or death. A liability for amounts deferred
under this plan of approximately $2,395,000 and $2,814,000 at January 3, 1998
and December 28, 1996, respectively, is included in accrued payroll and other
compensation in the accompanying balance sheets.

         On September 27, 1996, September 30, 1997, and December 8, 1997, the
Company granted 200,000, 404,000, and 20,000 stock options, respectively,
related to the new common stock to employees of the Company. The option prices
of $7.10, $7.25, and $6.81 per share represented the Board's estimates of the
approximate fair values of the common stock at these times. The shares are
exercisable beginning one year after the date granted.

         On September 30, 1997, the Company granted 120,000 stock options
related to the new common stock to nonemployee directors of the Company at an
option price of $7.25 per share. The shares are exercisable beginning one year
after the date granted.

         During 1996 and 1997, no options related to the new common stock were
exercised, cancelled, or forfeited.

         The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123.
Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the stock options
granted. Had compensation cost for the Company's stock options granted been
determined consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net
loss and loss per share would have been increased to the pro forma amounts
indicated below for the year ended January 3, 1998, and the three months ended
December 28, 1996 (in thousands, except share data):

         The assumption for the stock options issued to employees on September
27, 1996 and December 8, 1997 was that 33% of the options vested each year over
a three-year period from the dates of the grants. The assumption for the stock
options issued on September 30, 1997 was that 33% of the options vested over the
first nine months from the date of grant, and 33% each year thereafter. The fair
values of options granted are estimated on the dates of the grants using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions for 1997 and
1996: dividend yield and forfeiture rate of 0%; expected volatility of 30% and
35%, respectively; risk free interest rate of 5.88% and 6.58%, respectively; and
expected life of three years and five years, respectively.

POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

         The Company provides reduced life insurance benefits to retired
employees who were employed prior to January 1, 1974. On January 3, 1993, the
Company adopted SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits
Other Than Pensions." This standard requires that the expected cost of these
benefits be charged to expense during the years that the employees render
service. This was a change from the Company's prior policy of recognizing
postretirement benefits on a cash basis. Based on actuarial estimates using
currently available data, the postretirement benefit obligation at January 3,
1993, measured in accordance with SFAS No. 106, was approximately $2,400,000.
The Company elected to amortize the obligation over a 10.5-year period, the
average remaining life expectancy of the participants, beginning January 3,
1993. The Company recognized the unamortized transition obligation associated
with the adoption of SFAS No. 106 in the nine months ended September 28, 1996 as
a result of the implementation of fresh start reporting.

         Components of the net periodic postretirement benefit cost for the year
ended January 3, 1998, the three months ended December 28, 1996, the nine months
ended September 28, 1996, and the year ended December 30, 1995, are as follows

PENSION PLAN

         The Company maintains a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan
covering substantially all of its hourly employees. The benefits under the plan
are based on years of service during which the employees participate in the
plan. The Company's funding policy is to contribute an amount based on
actuarially determined values required to sustain the plan on a sound financial
basis.

         The Company recognized previously unrecognized and deferred items such
as the net transition obligation, prior service cost, and (gains) losses in the
nine months ended September 28, 1996 as a result of the implementation of fresh
start reporting.

         The weighted average discount rate used in determining the actuarial
present value of the projected benefit obligation in fiscal years 1997 and 1996
was 7.5% and 8.25%, respectively. The expected long-term rate of return on
assets used for the year ended January 3, 1998, the three months ended December
28, 1996, the nine months ended September 28, 1996, and the year ended December
30, 1995 was 9%.

9. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

         In 1996, the Company received approximately $10,700,000 in
consideration for a related party subordinated promissory note and recorded a
loss, reflected in additional paid-in capital, of $5,016,000.

         Pursuant to a management services agreement dated April 1, 1989, The
NTC Group, Inc. ("NTC") provided certain management, corporate development, and
financial consulting services to the Company. The management services agreement
provided that NTC receive a management fee equal to the lesser of 2% of the
Company's average equity book value plus interest-bearing debt, as defined, or
$4,000,000. The Company incurred expenses of $1,993,000 and $3,368,000 for the
nine months ended September 28, 1996 and for the year ended December 30, 1995,
respectively, which is shown as management fees to affiliate in the accompanying
statements of operations. Pursuant to the Plan, $1,830,000 of accrued management
fees were forgiven by NTC as of September 28, 1996, and the management services
agreement was terminated.

10. SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS

         The Company's ten largest customers accounted for less than 40% of net
sales for the year ended January 3, 1998, the three months ended December 28,
1996, the nine months ended September 28, 1996, and the year ended December 30,
1995. Of these, one customer accounted for approximately 12.3% of total net
sales for the three

months ended December 28, 1996, 12.3% for the nine months ended September 28,
1996, and 11.5% for the year ended December 30, 1995. For the year ended
January 3, 1998, no single customer accounted for more than 7% of total net
sales.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LITIGATION

         The Company is subject to certain legal actions arising in the ordinary
course of its business. In management's opinion, the outcome of these actions
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or
results of operations.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

         The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act of 1980, as amended by Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986
("CERCLA") (commonly known as Superfund), provides for responses to and
liability for releases of hazardous substances into the environment. These
obligations are imposed on the current owner or operator of a facility, the
owner or operator of a facility at the time of the disposal of hazardous
substances at the facility, on anyone who arranged for the treatment or disposal
of hazardous substances at the facility, and on any person who accepted
hazardous substances for transport to a facility selected by such person.
Generally, liability to the government under CERCLA is joint and several.

         The Company has been named as one of approximately 180 third-party
defendants in connection with litigation relating to the Keystone Sanitary
Landfill (located in Adams County, Pennsylvania), a federal Superfund matter.
The Company is alleged to have disposed of 1,800 cubic yards of material at this
site. The United States Environmental Protection Agency reportedly has estimated
the total volume of wastes allegedly disposed of at the site by viable
potentially responsible parties to be in excess of a half a million cubic yards.
The Company disputed its allocated volume, and the toxicity of its waste. On
October 20, 1997, the Company entered into a Consent Decree along with
approximately 140 other defendants. It is anticipated that the Consent Decree
will be entered by the United States District Court for the Middle District of
Pennsylvania. If entered, the Consent Decree should satisfy any liability that
the Company has in this litigation. The Company believes that its maximum
exposure is less than $5,000.

         The Company has not accrued for any material environmental liabilities
as of January 3, 1998, due to management's belief that an unfavorable outcome
from the ongoing proceedings would not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial position or results of operations. However, the Company has
budgeted and expects to incur approximately $1.2 million in environmental
capital expenditures in fiscal year 1998 for the continued construction of new
wastewater treatment facilities at the Brookneal, Virginia plant to comply with
a Special Order on Consent with the Virginia Water Control Board.

LEASES

         The Company leases office space, office equipment, and other items
under noncancelable operating leases. Rental expense under these noncancelable
operating leases was approximately $6,194,000 for the year ended January 3,
1998, $2,426,000 for the three months ended December 28, 1996, $7,279,000 for
the nine months ended September 28, 1996, and $9,407,000 for the year ended
December 30, 1995.

         At January 3, 1998, future minimum lease payments under noncancelable
operating leases are as follows (in thousands):

OTHER


         The Company had contractual commitments to make minimum guaranteed
payments under various product licensing agreements expiring through December
31, 2000 of approximately $2,864,000. These commitments are not expected to
result in future losses.

12. NONRECURRING CHARGES

         During 1997, the Company incurred $4.1 million in operating charges of
a nonrecurring nature relating to losses to be incurred under a sublease
agreement, severance, impairment of previously closed manufacturing facilities
(Rockingham, North Carolina and Abbeville, South Carolina) and losses associated
with the Terry Division, subsequent to its sale.

         The losses incurred as a result of a New York sublease agreement 
approximate $1,050,000. These losses are the result of the Company abandoning 
and subleasing, in the fourth quarter of 1997, a portion of the Company's New 
York sales office at a rate below the Company's existing lease payment. The 
lease and sublease expire in December 2000.

         The Company also recorded impairment charges associated with the
closure of its facilities in Rockingham, North Carolina and Abbeville, South
Carolina of approximately $750,000. These properties have been closed for
several years, and as a result of unsuccessful attempts to sell these facilities
during 1997, management concluded that an asset impairment under the provisions
of SFAS No. 121 had occurred, and thus obtained a third party appraisal for the
Abbeville, South Carolina property. The impairment of the Rockingham, North
Carolina property was based on the price arrived at in negotiations for the
sale of the facility subsequent to January 3, 1998.         

         In addition, corporate severance of approximately $350,000 was 
recorded resulting from the termination in late 1997 of a small group of 
corporate employees as a result of cost cutting and reduced operations with the 
discontinuance of the Napery and Apparel Businesses. As of the end of February 
1998, approximately $180,000 of these charges had been paid.

         As a part of the Company's reorganization plan effective September 
1996, as previously described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Terry 
division was sold to West Point Stevens and closed in February 1997. Assets and 
liabilities of the Terry division were classified as "assets held for sale" as 
of December 28, 1996 at an amount equal to the price plus the operating results 
of the Terry business for the period from December 28, 1996 through the 
effective date of the sale, February 21, 1997. Subsequent to February 21, 1997, 
$1,983,000 of costs and expenses, such as product returns, warranty claims, and 
losses on the sale of products which were not purchased by West Point Stevens, 
were included as "nonrecurring charges" in the Company's January 3, 1998 
financial statements. There is no expected future cost related to these issues, 
as they represent costs already incurred rather than amount accrued in 
anticipation of future costs.

                                THE BIBB COMPANY
                    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)


1.  BASIS OF INTERIM PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with Rule 10-01 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 normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of
July 4, 1998, the results of its operations for three month periods ended and
the six month periods ended July 4, 1998 and June 28, 1997 and cash flows for
the six month periods ended July 4, 1998 and June 28, 1997, have been included.
Operating results for the three month and six month periods ended July 4, 1998
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending January 2, 1999. Certain information and note disclosures normally
included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the
Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations. The condensed
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited
financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended January 3, 1998. The
condensed balance sheet at January 3, 1998, has been derived from these
statements.

         Unless the context otherwise requires, the "Company" means The Bibb
Company, a Delaware corporation.

         Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified in order to conform
to current period presentation.

On June 29, 1998, the Company and Dan River Inc., a leading manufacturer and
marketer of textile products for the home fashions and apparel fabrics markets,
("Dan River"), announced a definitive merger agreement, as subsequently amended,
under which Dan River will acquire the Company for a combination of cash and Dan
River stock in a tax-free transaction valued in excess of $250 million,
including assumed debt (the "Merger"). Each of the Company's shareholders will
be entitled to elect whether to receive $16.50 in cash, .84615 shares of Dan
River Class A common stock, or a combination thereof, for each of the Company's
shares held, subject to proration. The closing of the Merger is expected to
occur in the third quarter of 1998, subject to the fulfillment of certain
customary closing conditions.


2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  Discontinued Operations

         In December 1997, the Company sold its napery business, which consisted
of the manufacture and marketing of damask table linen products serving the
hospitality market (the "Napery Business"), and related inventory, to Mount
Vernon Mills, Inc. In connection therewith, the Company closed its Roanoke
Rapids, North Carolina manufacturing plant during the three month period ended
April 4, 1998 and is actively seeking a buyer for the property. As the assets of
the Napery Business are currently being liquidated, they have been classified,
as of July 4, 1998 and January 3, 1998, as net assets of discontinued
operations, and the results of operations of the Napery Business are excluded
from the Company's continuing operations.

         During the three month period ended April 4, 1998, the Company exited
the apparel business, which consisted of the manufacture and marketing of
apparel fabrics, principally chambray, which is sold primarily to garment
manufacturers (the "Apparel Business"). As a result, the Company discontinued
its manufacturing operations at the Company's Columbus, Georgia facility. The
assets

                                        5



<PAGE>   6



of the Apparel Business are currently being liquidated. As a result, the Company
classified the assets, except for real estate, of the Apparel Business as net
assets of discontinued operations, and the results of operations for the Apparel
Business are excluded from the Company's continuing operations. The table below
sets forth net sales, net losses, and net loss per common share for the
discontinued Apparel Business and Napery Business for the three months ended
July 4, 1998 and June 28, 1997 (in thousands, except per share data):

  Recent Accounting Pronouncements

         The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"), Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information" ("SFAS 131"), Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures About Pensions and Other Postretirement
Benefits -an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, and 106" ("SFAS 132"), and
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"), effective January 4, 1998.
SFAS 130 establishes standards to measure all changes in equity that result from
transactions and other economic events other than transactions with owners.
Comprehensive income is the total of net income and all other nonowner changes
in equity. SFAS 131 introduces a new segment reporting model called the
"management approach." The management approach is based on the manner in which
management organizes segments within a company for making operating decisions
and assessing performance. The management approach replaces the notion of
industry and geographic segments. SFAS 132 revises disclosures about pension and
other postretirement benefit plans, yet it does not change the measurement or
recognition of those plans. SFAS 133 establishes accounting standards for
derivative instruments and hedging activities. The Company does not currently
engage in hedging activities or utilize derivative instruments. The disclosures
relative to SFAS's 130, 131, 132 and 133 do not significantly affect the
Company's current disclosures.

         Effective March 6, 1998, the Company entered into an amendment to the
Loan and Security Agreement dated as of September 12, 1996, by and among
Congress Financial Corporation, as agent, and the lenders party thereto and the
Company (the "New Credit Agreement"). Significant provisions of the new
amendment are as follows:



                                       7



<PAGE>   8




         (i) increase of the term loan to $21.3 million, (ii) extension of the
         renewal date from September 16, 1999 to November 1, 2000, (iii)
         reduction of the tangible net worth covenant from a minimum of $70
         million to a minimum of $50 million, (iv) reduction of the prepayment
         fees for replacing the credit agreement after September 16, 1998, from
         $575,000 to $300,000, and (v) reduction of the revolving loan limit to
         $60 million.

6. INCOME TAXES

         The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires the use of the liability method in
accounting for income taxes. Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial
reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in
effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred
income taxes also reflect the value of net operating losses and an offsetting
valuation allowance. There was no net income tax expense or benefit recorded in
the three months ended and the six months ended July 4, 1998 or the three months
ended and the six months ended June 28, 1997.

7. EARNINGS PER SHARE

         The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
128, "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS 128") during 1997. SFAS 128 replaces primary
earnings per share with basic earnings per share. Basic earnings per share
excludes the effect of any potentially dilutive common equivalent shares. Basic
earnings per share is calculated based on weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding, which was 10,061,576 for all periods presented herein.
Fully diluted earnings per share, now called diluted earnings per share, is
still required. Diluted earnings per share is calculated treating all
potentially dilutive securities such as stock options as outstanding during the
entire period, or from grant date if granted during the period. For the three
months ended and the six months ended July 4, 1998, 697,000 options were
included in the calculation. For the three months ended and the six months ended
June 28, 1997, all options (200,000) were anti-dilutive and thus were not
included in the calculation.

        UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF DAN RIVER
 
     On February 3, 1997 Dan River acquired substantially all of the assets of
Cherokee for $65 million in cash, subject to a working capital adjustment, and
the assumption of certain operating liabilities. On November 20, 1997 Dan River
completed an initial public offering of the Dan River Class A Common Stock.
 
     The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Income (Pre-Merger) for the
fiscal year ended January 3, 1998 gives effect to the acquisition of Cherokee
and the initial public offering of Dan River Class A Common Stock, as if each
had occurred on the first day of the 1997 fiscal year. The Unaudited Pro Forma
Combined Statement of Income (Merger) for the fiscal year ended January 3, 1998
is based upon the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Income (Pre-Merger)
for the same period and gives effect to the Merger and financing thereof as if
they had also occurred on the first day of the 1997 fiscal year.
 
     The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet as of July 4, 1998 gives
effect to the Merger and financing thereof as if they had occurred at July 4,
1998. The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Income for the six months
ended July 4, 1998 gives effect to the Merger and financing thereof as if they
had occurred on the first day of the period presented.
 
     The Merger has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.
The total cost of the Merger has been preliminarily allocated to the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair values as
determined through internal estimates that Dan River believes are reasonable.
The actual allocation of purchase cost, however, and the resulting effect on
income may differ from the pro forma amounts included herein.
 
     The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not
purport to reflect the financial position or results of operations that actually
would have resulted had the above transactions occurred as of the dates
indicated or to project the results of operations for any future period. The
unaudited pro forma combined financial information should be read in conjunction
with the historical financial statements of Dan River, Cherokee and Bibb and in
each case the notes thereto which are incorporated herein by reference.

              NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED BALANCE SHEET
 
     (1) In connection with the Merger, each outstanding share of Bibb Common
Stock will be converted into the right to receive, at the holder's election,
0.84615 shares of Dan River Class A Common Stock or $16.50 in cash. As
necessary, holders' elections will be prorated such that the total number of
stock election shares equals 50% of the total outstanding shares of Bibb Common
Stock. For purposes of the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet, the fair
market value of Dan River Common Stock is assumed to be $17.30 per share, which
approximates the average closing market price of the stock for the 10 business
days surrounding June 29, 1998, the date the Merger Agreement was announced to
the public.
 
     Also in connection with the Merger, certain nonqualified options to
purchase Bibb Common Stock held by employees and directors of Bibb will be
cancelled, and the holders will receive 50% of the value of their options in
cash, and the remainder in Dan River Class A Common Stock. For purposes of the
options buyout, (i) the value of each option is measured as the difference
between $16.50 and the exercise price and (ii) the value of Dan River Class A
Common Stock is assumed to be $19.50 per share.

     elimination of overlapping administrative functions;
 
    - manufacturing cost savings from certain plant alignment and capacity
     utilization synergies, and manufacturing practices expected to result in
     improved operating efficiencies;
 
    - cost savings relating to manufacturing techniques and specifications; and
 
    - savings expected to be realized through volume purchasing of certain raw
     materials, such as polyester and packaging materials.
 
    The projected cost savings are based on estimates and assumptions believed
    to be reasonable by management. Due to the inherent uncertainty associated
    with such estimates and assumptions, there can be no assurance that these
    cost savings will actually be realized.

(1) Reflects the increase in cost of sales attributable to the assumed
    adjustments necessary to state Bibb's inventories at fair market value as of
    the beginning of 1998, principally the elimination of the last-in, first-out
    reserve.
(2) Reflects the elimination of duplicate administrative expenses, principally
    management compensation and related fringe benefits.
(3) Reflects amortization of goodwill based on an estimated life of 40 years.
(4) Includes interest expense and loan fee amortization and related expense.
(5) Reflects additional interest expense, consisting of the following:

Interest expense on new floating rate bank debt incurred in
  connection with (i) the refinancing of all Bibb
  outstanding indebtedness, (ii) the refinancing of Dan
  River's existing working capital facility, and (iii) the
  funding of the cash portion of the buyout of Bibb
  outstanding Common Stock and stock options, and other
  transaction costs. For each  1/8% change in the assumed
  interest rate on new floating rate bank debt, interest
  would change by $116......................................  $6,570

(6) Adjustment of pro forma income tax expense to reflect an assumed effective
    tax rate of 38.6%.
(7) The pro forma adjustments do not include the impact of certain
    merger-related cost savings initiatives that Dan River intends to implement.
    The additional cost savings, which are expected to total $15.5 million
    (pre-tax) on an annual basis, include:
 
    - reduced selling, general and administrative expense, principally from the
      elimination of overlapping administrative functions;
 
    - manufacturing cost savings from certain plant alignment and capacity
      utilization synergies, and manufacturing practices expected to result in
      improved operating efficiencies;
 
    - cost savings relating to manufacturing techniques and specifications; and
 
    - savings expected to be realized through volume purchasing of certain raw
      materials, such as polyester and packaging materials.
 
    The projected cost savings are based on estimates and assumptions believed
    to be reasonable by management. Due to the inherent uncertainty associated
    with such estimates and assumptions, there can be no assurance that these
    cost savings will actually be realized.
