Item 1 BUSINESS

General

Delta Woodside Industries, Inc. ("Delta Woodside" or the
"Company") is a South Carolina corporation with its principal
executive offices located at 233 North Main Street, Hammond
Square, Suite 200, Greenville, South Carolina 29601 (telephone
number: 864-232-8301). All references herein to Delta Woodside
or the Company refer to Delta Woodside Industries, Inc. and its
subsidiaries.

The Company manufactures and markets woven and knitted
fabrics and apparel. The Company's textile segment produces a
range of cotton, synthetic and blended fabrics, woven and knit,
which are sold for the ultimate production of apparel, home
furnishings and other products. The Company's apparel segment
produces woven and knit apparel, including the "Duck Head" (Reg.
trademark) line of casualwear marketed primarily in the
Southeastern United States to department stores and specialty
apparel retailers. The Company also operates 41 retail apparel
outlet stores that sell primarily closeout and irregular "Duck
Head" products and other woven and knit casualwear produced by
the "Duck Head" division and other manufacturers. The Company
also manufactures and distributes physical fitness equipment
under the "Nautilus" (Reg. trademark) name. The Company has
operations in 13 states, Costa Rica and Honduras, and employs
approximately 7,400 employees.

Delta Woodside Industries, Inc. is the successor by merger
to Delta Woodside Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation that
was incorporated in 1986 and whose subsidiaries' businesses were
acquired beginning in 1984. The corporation that is now Delta
Woodside Industries, Inc. was incorporated in 1972.

Products, Marketing and Manufacturing

The Company conducts its textile fabrics operations through
the Delta Mills Marketing (woven fabrics) and Stevcoknit (knitted
fabrics) divisions. It conducts its woven and knit apparel
operations through the "Duck Head" and "Delta Apparel" (Reg.
trademark) divisions. The Company also manufactures and sells
fitness equipment through the "Nautilus" (Reg. trademark)
division, and licenses the use of both the "Duck Head" and
"Nautilus" trademarks through International Apparel Marketing
Corporation (70% owned). Each division has its own management
and employees and operates independently of the other divisions.
Intersegment sales accounted for no more than approximately 4% of
total sales for fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994.

Fabrics produced by Delta Woodside are either woven or
knitted and are manufactured from cotton, wool or synthetic
fibers or from synthetic filament yarns. Cotton and wool are
purchased from numerous suppliers. Synthetic fiber and synthetic
filament yarns are purchased from a smaller number of competitive
suppliers.

The Company sells its woven fabrics primarily to numerous
apparel manufacturers and apparel resellers, including Levi,
Haggar and Farah and private label apparel manufacturers for J.
Item 1 (Continued)

C. Penney, Sears and other retailers. The Company's knitted
fabrics are sold for production of apparel to other branded and
private label manufacturers. Apparel products are sold primarily
to department and specialty retailers under the Company's "Duck
Head" label, to private label apparel resellers, to distributors
and to screen printers.

Textile Segment

The textile segment manufactures and markets woven and
knitted fabrics to manufacturers of apparel and home furnishings
and other products. The Company's net sales of woven fabrics
were $294 million, $291 million and $289 million and the
Company's net sales of knit fabrics were $83 million, $103
million and $103 million, during fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.

Delta Mills Marketing Company (Woven Fabrics). Delta Mills
Marketing Company produces finished and unfinished woven fabrics
used in the production of apparel, home furnishings and other
products. "Finished" fabric refers to fabric which has been
treated by washing, bleaching, dyeing and applying certain
chemical finishes. Finished apparel fabric is ready to be cut
and sewn into garments and is typically sold to manufacturers of
apparel. Unfinished fabric, commonly referred to as "greige"
(pronounced "gray") goods, is typically sold to converters who
subsequently finish the fabric and sell it to manufacturers of
apparel, home furnishings and other products.

The woven fabrics operation manufactures bottom-weight woven
fabrics sold in a finished state for use in the manufacture of
men's and women's apparel and professional uniforms.

Finished woven fabrics produced by the division are
primarily sold directly to major apparel manufacturers. The
division's marketing efforts focus on four primary apparel
manufacturing groups: women's apparel, including fashion
apparel; men's apparel; career apparel and uniforms; and military
and other government uniforms and apparel. The division also
engages in commission finishing, whereby it finishes fabric for
converters. The woven fabrics operation sells and distributes
its fabrics through Delta Mills Sales Company, a marketing office
based in New York City, with sales agents also operating from
Atlanta, Dallas, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Delta Mills
Sales Company also has international sales agents in the United
Kingdom and Hong Kong.

Approximately 69% of the division's finished woven fabrics
are made from cotton or cotton/synthetic blends, while
approximately 31% are made from spun synthetics, including
varying blends of rayon, polyester and wool. Finished woven
fabrics are principally woven according to projected sales based
on strong indications from major customers, but finished
according to specific purchase orders. The division's production
of cotton and cotton/synthetic blend finished woven fabrics is
largely integrated, with the division performing most of its own
spinning and substantially all of its own weaving and finishing.
The production of spun synthetic finished woven fabrics is fully integrated,
with various plants in the division involved in spinning, weaving and finishing.
With its printing capability, the Company believes that the
division is the only substantially vertically integrated producer
of battle dress camouflage military fabrics in the United
States. The Company expects that its finished woven all cotton
facilities will run at near full capacity during fiscal 1997.
However, woven synthetic facilities are not expected to run full
schedules during fiscal 1997.

At one plant, the division also produces a variety of
unfinished light-weight woven fabrics sold for ultimate use in
manufacturing apparel such as blouses, dresses and linings, in
manufacturing home furnishings, including draperies, curtains and
comforters, and in medical and industrial products. Fabrics
include 100% polyester, 100% rayon, polyester/rayon blends,
textured polyester and other "semi-fancy" fabrics of more
complicated construction. The unfinished operation currently is
running at full production capacity.

Stevcoknit (Knitted Fabrics). Stevcoknit, through 4 plants,
spins yarn, knits and finishes a wide range of circular knit
fabrics for use in the manufacture of knit apparel, and also
provides yarn to the Company's apparel segment.

Stevcoknit products are marketed to numerous apparel
manufacturers through marketing staffs employed by Stevcoknit
Marketing Company in New York City and Los Angeles, with sales
personnel also located in North Carolina, Georgia and Dallas. To
further promote sales of Stevcoknit's fabrics to apparel
manufacturers, the marketing staff of Stevcoknit Marketing
Company also contacts major retailers of products manufactured
from the division's knitted fabrics. Discussions with these
retailers provide information relating to fabric quality and
trends in style and color. In addition to its sales to apparel
manufacturers, the division also sells prepared for print fabrics
to converters and printers through a broker. Certain knitting
operations are scheduled according to projected sales, but most
knitting and finishing of the fabrics are performed to specific
customer orders.

The operations within the knitted fabrics operation are
largely integrated. Various plants are equipped to perform all
stages of the manufacturing process, from carding the raw fiber
stock to dyeing and finishing the final fabric product. The
fabrics produced by this segment are manufactured primarily by
using 100% cotton and polyester/cotton blends. The Stevcoknit
operation is currently running at less than full capacity.

Apparel Segment

The apparel segment produces and markets both woven apparel
and knit apparel. The segment's products include woven apparel
marketed under the "Duck Head" line of men's and boys'
casualwear, which includes pants, shorts and shirts. Knit
apparel products include T-shirts and sweatshirts which are sold
under the labels of "Duck Head", "Delta Apparel", and various
private labels.

"Duck Head" Apparel. The division produces a line of men's
and boys' casual apparel, sold under the "Duck Head" label,
including pants, shorts, shirts and accessories. This division
also sells a relatively small amount of men's and boys' woven
uniform, sportswear and casualwear under the private labels of
its customers. The division also licenses various other
categories of apparel and accessories.

"Duck Head" labeled products are primarily marketed by sales
staff employed by Duck Head Marketing Company to regional and
national retailers with stores in the South and South Atlantic
regions. The "Duck Head" trademark has been associated with
apparel for many decades, but has traditionally been marketed
primarily to a Southeastern customer base. The Company acquired
the brand in February 1989. The division sells its "Duck Head"
products primarily to regional and national department store
groups as well as specialty apparel retailers and through Company-
operated outlet stores. The division currently displays "Duck
Head" products in "Duck Head" shops within some department
stores. The "shop" display format of an entire line of
sportswear in a dedicated section of a store's sportswear
department is used by the major national sportswear brands.
Gross sales of "Duck Head" labeled products were approximately
$79 million, $81 million and $95 million during fiscal 1996,
1995, and 1994, respectively.

"Duck Head" Apparel operates a total of 5 facilities located
in Georgia and Costa Rica. The division purchases the fabrics
used in its products from a number of producers. "Duck Head" is
now acquiring less than one-half of its finished products from
other companies throughout the world. This outside production
takes the form of sewing fabric parts cut at "Duck Head"
facilities, cutting and sewing with fabric and patterns supplied
by "Duck Head", or providing finished garments made to "Duck
Head" specifications. The division maintains a staff of quality
specialists who consistently monitor work in process at outside
companies. The Company believes that there is ample capacity
among outside contractors worldwide to meet its future production
requirements. All of the products are warehoused in the
division's owned facilities.

"Duck Head" labeled apparel items are generally required to
be inventoried to permit quick shipment and to level production
schedules. Customer private label apparel items are generally
made only to order. The division's products are manufactured
primarily from 100% cotton. The division's marketing office is
based in Winder, Georgia with regional sales managers and sales
personnel located throughout the country.

The "Duck Head" division has 41 outlet stores in 11 states that
sell principally closeout and irregular "Duck Head" products.
These stores also sell a small amount of apparel items
manufactured by other companies.

"Delta Apparel". "Delta Apparel", which is headquartered in
Duluth, Georgia, operates a total of 7 facilities and produces
knitted T-shirts and sweatshirts. The division markets its
products primarily to companies that screen print shirts for
resale and to distributors. Net sales in this division were $123 million,
$102 million and $84 million during fiscal 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively.

The division's knit apparel marketing is performed by sales
personnel of Delta Apparel Marketing Company with sales personnel
located throughout the country. Sales personnel call directly on
the retail trade, contacting department stores and the mass
marketers such as discount houses. This operation also utilizes
independent sales representatives to sell to distributors and
screen printing companies. Some knit apparel items are
inventoried to permit quick shipment and to level production
schedules. Special fashion knit apparel items and customer
private label knit apparel styles generally are made only to
order.

Of the yarn used by the Company's knit apparel operation,
approximately one-half is produced by Stevcoknit with the
remainder purchased from outside vendors; the knit apparel
operation is otherwise largely vertically integrated. The
business manufactures its own knitted fabrics, utilizing
knitting, dyeing and finishing processes, and cuts and sews its
finished knitted fabrics into apparel. The fabrics used by the
division are either polyester/cotton blends or 100% cotton.

Private Label Division. During fiscal 1996, the Company
established a new Private Label Division with the intent of
marketing finished garments utilizing fabrics made in our
Stevcoknit division and assembled outside the U.S.

Fitness Equipment

"Nautilus" Fitness Equipment. Nautilus produces weight
resistance and aerobic equipment for the institutional, medical
and home markets. The current product line in the weight
resistance category is called the "Next Generation", which
consists of 39 individual machines that exercise the various
muscle groups. Nautilus also produces an exclusive line of 30
weight resistance machines for women called "Nautilus for Women".
Nautilus also manufactures Power Plus and Free Weight equipment
which consists of 45 Machines. As a supplement to the weight
resistance line, Nautilus produces five versions of a multi-
station machine that serve those markets that have space and
budget limitations. Nautilus currently produces seven aerobic
machines for the institutional market: three recumbent bikes,
two stairclimbers, a treadmill and a skate machine.

Nautilus historically has been focused on the institutional
market and targets health clubs, the public sector, YMCAs and
similar institutions and the medical, amenity and corporate
markets. After extensive review, the Company has decided to
defer its entry into the consumer market.

The manufacturing operations at Nautilus are vertically
integrated, including metal fabrication, upholstery, and a vacuum
formed and injection molded plastics process. Raw material is
inventoried, but finished machines are generally manufactured
against customer orders. All manufacturing is done in
Independence, Virginia. The Company believes that the
manufacturing operation is currently operating at approximately
75% of present capacity, including certain new building space.

Competition

The cyclical nature of the textile and apparel industries,
characterized by rapid shifts in fashion, consumer demand and
competitive pressures, results in both price and demand
volatility. The demand for any particular product varies from
time to time based largely upon changes in consumer preferences
and general economic conditions affecting the textile and apparel
industries, such as consumer expenditures for nondurables. The
textile and apparel industries are also cyclical because the
supply of particular products changes as competitors enter or
leave the market. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition."

The Company sells primarily to domestic customers and
competes with numerous competitors, both domestic and foreign.
The principal competitive factors are price, service, delivery
time, quality and flexibility, with the significance of each
factor depending
upon the product involved. The Company's competitive position
varies among the different goods produced.

There are several major domestic competitors in the finished
cotton and cotton/polyester blend woven fabrics area, none of
which dominates the market. The Company believes that it has a
strong competitive position with respect to the manufacture of
spun synthetic slack-weight and skirt-weight woven fabrics, as
well as all cotton bottom-weight sportswear fabrics.

The unfinished woven fabrics' operation is a major supplier
of both polyester/rayon print cloth used in home furnishings and
women's blouses and acetate fabric used in apparel linings and
surgical tapes. There are several major domestic competitors in
these markets but no company dominates any of these businesses.

The knitted fabrics business in which Stevcoknit competes is
highly competitive with several large competitors. However, the
significant vertical integration of Stevcoknit's manufacturing
operations and its experience in performing the more complicated
manufacturing techniques required in the production of 100%
cotton fabrics provide the Company with certain competitive
advantages. The industry, nevertheless, remains highly
competitive.

The apparel segment competes with numerous domestic and
foreign manufacturers of branded and private label apparel.
Foreign competition has been an increasingly significant factor
in the apparel manufacturing industry, particularly with respect
to items that require labor-
Item 1 (Continued)

intensive production, such as shirts and jackets, and high cost
luxury items. Although domestic apparel companies must compete
to some extent on a price basis with foreign competition, the
Company's management believes that domestic apparel companies can
best compete by selling branded products, by manufacturing off-
shore, by offering product flexibility, by responding quickly to
changes in consumer demand and by providing more timely
deliveries. The latter characteristics permit retailers to
reduce their inventory costs and lower the risk that product
availability will not match consumer demand. The Company's
operations are oriented toward providing its apparel segment and
the customers of its textile segment with all or some of these
competitive advantages. The Company believes that it and its
domestic customers can address quality control problems more
easily than can manufacturers and distributors of foreign
products. Furthermore, the customers of foreign suppliers
generally face letter of credit fees, and occasionally face
delivery delays and claims resolution difficulties.

The Company believes that several aspects of its operations
may mitigate some of the problems posed by competition within the
domestic textile and apparel industries. The variety of the
Company's products offers some degree of protection against the
cyclical nature of the business of individual products.
Management of the Company believes that the percentage of its
production cost attributable to labor is comparable to that of
its domestic competitors. Other competitive strengths include:
the ability to produce special fabrics such as textured blends;
the modern equipment in several of its plants; and the Company's
achievement of substantial vertical integration in its various
divisions.

Nautilus competes in the institutional fitness market which
is fragmented and highly competitive. The fitness equipment
industry generally competes for business on price, quality,
specifications and service. Management of the Company believes
that Nautilus has a strong competitive position because of its
high name recognition in markets and its reputation for high
quality and durable equipment.

Employees

The Company has approximately 7,400 employees. The
Company's employees are not represented by unions. The Company
believes that its relations with its employees are good.

Environmental and Regulatory Matters

Delta Woodside is subject to federal, state and local
environmental laws and regulations concerning, among other
things, wastewater discharges, storm water flows, air emissions,
ozone depletion and solid waste disposal. Delta Woodside's
plants generate very small quantities of hazardous waste which
are either recycled or disposed of off-site. Most of its plants
are required to possess one or more discharge permits.

The subsidiary that conducts the finished woven fabrics
operations is subject to a Consent Order with the South Carolina
Department of Health and Environmental Control dated September
26, 1985, which was executed prior to Delta Woodside's
acquisition of the business. Pursuant to the Consent Order,
which arose from a determination that several private drinking
wells in the area of two of the subsidiary's plants had been
contaminated, the subsidiary has discontinued the operation near
these plants of a large spray field into which waste water sludge
had been disposed and has placed into operation for such purpose
a new and larger spray field. Delta Woodside expects that any
continuing expenditures to comply with the Consent Order will be
immaterial in amount.

Some of the Company's plants have been unable to comply with
the acute toxicity limits contained in the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits held by the Company.
With respect to certain such plants in North Carolina, the
Company signed a Special Order by Consent with the North Carolina
Department of Environmental Health and Natural Resources (DEHNR)
which required the plants to achieve compliance with the acute
toxicity limits . The Special Order by Consent has been amended
to require
the plants to achieve compliance by October 1, 1997. With
respect to certain South Carolina plants, the Company is working
with the appropriate state agency in developing a corrective
action plan for addressing the toxicity issue. The Company has
implemented several courses of action in an effort to achieve
compliance with its NPDES permits. Although there is no
assurance that the Company will be successful in this regard, it
does not currently believe that the matter will have a material
adverse impact on the Company.

Generally, the environmental rules applicable to the Company
are becoming increasingly stringent. The Company incurs capital
and other expenditures in each year that are aimed at achieving
compliance with current and future environmental standards.

The Company does not expect that the amount of such expenditures
will have a material adverse effect on its operations or
financial condition. There can be no
assurance, however, that changes in federal, state or local
regulations, changes in regulatory policy or the discovery of
currently unknown problems or conditions will not require
substantial additional expenditures. Similarly, the extent of
Delta Woodside's liability, if any, for past failures to comply
with laws, regulations and permits applicable to its operations
cannot be determined.

Matters" in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of
Operations and Financial Condition incorporated into Item 7 of

square feet. These leases expire at various dates through
2005.
(4) Title to these facilities are held by the county under a fee-
in-lieu arrangement.

Except as noted above all of the above production and
warehouse facilities are owned by Delta Woodside or one of its
subsidiaries, subject in certain cases to various outstanding
mortgages and security interests. The apparel segment's San Jose
plant in San Jose, Costa Rica is leased on a month-to-month
basis, the Ashburn Plant in Ashburn, Georgia has a lease which
expires in February 1999 and the Honduras Plant has a lease which
expires in November 2000.

Delta Woodside leases corporate and division administrative
offices in Greenville, South Carolina. The lease on the
corporate offices expires December 1997 and leases on the
administrative offices expire in 2008. Sales offices are leased
in or near Charlotte, New York, Chicago, Newport Beach, San
Francisco, Dallas and Los Angeles with leases expiring through
December 2004.

At the date of execution of this Form 10-K, the Company
believes, with the exception of plants affected by the Company's
modernization program, that its finished woven all cotton plants
and finished woven synthetic plants are operating virtually at
full production capacity while its unfinished woven fabrics
operations are operating at slightly less than full production
capacity. Although the Company expects greater utilization of
textile capacity in fiscal 1997 than in fiscal 1996, the Company
expects both the woven and knit operations to run at less than
full capacity in fiscal 1997. During fiscal 1996, the Company
established a new sewing operation for knit apparel items in
Honduras. The plant began producing garments in September 1995.
In June 1996 the plant was running at 55% of capacity with full
capacity expected by February 1997. Various factors affect the
relative use by the Company's apparel segment of its own
facilities and outside contractors in the various apparel
production phases. This segment is currently using all its
internal production capacity. The fitness equipment operation is
operating at approximately 75% of its production capacity as a
result of new building space in excess of the current volume.

The Company believes that its equipment and facilities are
generally adequate to allow it to remain competitive with its
principal competitors.

Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time the Company and its subsidiaries are
defendants in legal actions involving claims arising in the
normal course of its business, including product liability
claims. The Company believes that, as a result of its legal
defenses, insurance arrangements and indemnification provisions
with financially capable parties, none of these actions, if
decided adversely, should have a material adverse effect on its
business or financial condition taken as a whole.
