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, 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 finished and unfinished
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 31 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 branded and non-branded
apparel operations through the "Duck Head" and "Delta Apparel"
(Reg. trademarks) divisions, respectively. 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 under the overall direction of the Company's executive
officers. Intersegment sales accounted for no more than
approximately 4% of total sales for fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995.

Fabrics produced by the Company 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 fibers and synthetic filament yarns
are purchased from a smaller number of competitive suppliers. The
Company spins the major portion of the yarns used in its weaving
and knitting operations. In manufacturing these yarns, the cotton
and synthetic fiber, either separately or in blends, are carded
(fibers straightened and oriented) and then spun into yarn. The
Company combs (removing short fibers) some cotton fiber to make
higher quality

Item 1 (Continued)

yarns. In other fabrics, filament yarns are used. The spun or
filament yarn is then woven into fabric on looms or knitted into
fabric on knitting machines. The unfinished fabric at this stage
is referred to as greige goods. Finished fabric refers to fabric
that has been treated by washing, bleaching, dyeing and applying
certain chemical finishes. Finished fabrics generally have
significantly higher margins than greige goods.

The Company sells its woven fabrics primarily to numerous
apparel manufacturers and apparel resellers. 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 Company sells a broad range of fabrics primarily to
branded apparel manufacturers and resellers, including Levi
Strauss, Haggar Corp., the Wrangler(R) and Lee(R) divisions of
V.F. Corporation, Farah Incorporated, Kellwood Company and Liz
Claiborne, Inc., and private label apparel manufacturers for J.C.
Penney Company, Inc., Sears, Roebuck & Co. and other retailers.
The Company believes that it is a leading producer of cotton
pants-weight woven fabric used in the manufacture of casual
slacks such as Levi Strauss' Dockers(R) and Haggar Corp.'s
Wrinkle-Free(R). Other apparel items manufactured with the
Company's woven fabrics include women's chinos pants, women's
blazers, career apparel (uniforms) and battle dress camouflage
military uniforms. Apparel items manufactured with the Company's
knitted fabrics include polo-type or golf shirts, career apparel,
children's apparel, specialty athletic wear and ladies' tops.

Net sales of woven fabrics were $336 million, $294 million
and $291 million and net sales of knitted fabrics were $98
million, $83 million and $103 million, during fiscal 1997, 1996
and 1995, respectively.

The woven fabrics division began a capital improvement
program during fiscal year 1992 that was designed to modernize
certain fiber opening, carding, spinning, weaving and fabric
finishing processes to focus on the production of heavier-weight,
higher-margin goods. By the end of fiscal year 1997, expenditures
for this six-year program totaled $112.8 million. As a result,
the division has reduced its manufacturing square footage by
approximately 18% and the number of employees by 26%. In the
modernization program, the woven fabrics division reduced its
capacity to produce lower price greige goods but increased its
capacity to finish fabrics. As a consequence, the woven fabrics
division has increased its outside purchases of greige goods. The
Company believes that these changes provide it with the
opportunity to increase its overall sales levels and to expand
its operating margins.

The knitted fabrics division began a consolidation and
modernization project in fiscal year 1992 to consolidate the
number of its manufacturing facilities from four spinning, two
knitting and two finishing plants to two spinning, one knitting
and one finishing plant. During the past
Item 1 (Continued)

five fiscal years, capital expenditures for the program totaled
$42.1 million. Simultaneously, certain knitting, dyeing and
finishing processes were modernized. With the successful
completion of this project, manufacturing square footage was
reduced by 37% and the number of employees was reduced by 26%,
with no material change in total knitted fabric capacity.

These initiatives have resulted in a significant reduction
in the costs in the textile segment.


Delta Mills Marketing Company (Woven Fabrics).

The woven fabrics division produces finished and unfinished
woven fabrics used in the production of apparel, home furnishings
and other products. Finished apparel fabric is ready to be cut
and sewn into garments. Greige goods are typically sold to
converters who enhance the fabric through finishing techniques
and sell it to manufacturers of apparel, home furnishings and
other products.

Finished woven fabrics produced by the division are
primarily sold directly to major apparel manufacturers. The
woven fabrics division has focused its marketing efforts on
building close relationships with major apparel companies that
have broad distribution channels and that the Company believes
have positioned themselves for long-term growth. 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 woven fabrics division sells
and distributes its fabrics through a marketing office based in
New York City (which serves the United States, Canadian and
Mexican markets), with sales agents also operating from Atlanta,
Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles and San Francisco. The division also
has international sales agents in the United Kingdom and Hong
Kong.

Approximately 70% of the division's finished woven fabric
sales are of fabrics made from cotton or cotton/synthetic blends,
while approximately 30% of such sales are of fabrics made from
spun synthetics and other natural fibers, including various
blends of rayon, polyester and wool. During fiscal year 1997, the
woven fabrics division sold finished fabrics at a cost of $239.6
million and unfinished fabrics at a cost of $31.6 million. Woven
fabrics are generally produced and shipped pursuant to specific
purchase orders, which minimizes the Company's uncommitted
inventory levels. The division's production of cotton and
cotton/synthetic blend finished woven fabrics is largely
vertically integrated, with the division performing most of its
own spinning, weaving and finishing. The production of spun
synthetic finished woven fabrics is fully vertically integrated,
with various plants in the division performing spinning, weaving
and finishing operations. In the production of military fabrics,
the Company purchases a portion of its greige goods needs and
finishes this fabric to specifications. The woven fabrics
division is currently operating its manufacturing facilities at
near full capacity.



Item 1 (Continued)

The division also produces a variety of unfinished
light-weight woven fabrics that are ultimately used in the
manufacture of apparel (including blouses, dresses and suit
linings), home furnishings (including shower curtains) and
medical tape. Fabrics include filament acetate, textured
polyester and other "semi-fancy" fabrics of more complicated
construction.

Stevcoknit (Knitted Fabrics).

The knitted fabrics division spins yarn and knits and
finishes a wide range of circular knit fabrics for use in the
manufacture of knit apparel. The division also provides yarn to
the Company's apparel segment.

The knitted fabric division's marketing resources are
focused on the following segments: (i) major apparel companies
that market casual wear such as knit polo-type shirts, (ii)
children's wear manufacturers and (iii) career apparel. The
knitted fabric division's products are marketed to numerous
apparel manufacturers through marketing staffs employed by the
Company in New York City and Los Angeles, with sales personnel
also located in North Carolina, Georgia and Texas. To promote
further the sales of the knitted fabrics division's fabrics to
apparel manufacturers, the marketing staff of the division 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 principally through a single broker.
The Company believes that, because of the competitive brokerage
environment, the loss of this broker would not have a material
adverse effect on the Company. There can be no assurance,
however, that this would be the case.

The operations within the knitted fabrics division are
largely vertically integrated. Various plants are equipped to
perform all stages of the manufacturing process, from carding and
spinning the raw fiber stock to knitting, dyeing and finishing
the final fabric product. The fabrics produced by this division
are manufactured primarily by using 100% cotton and
polyester/cotton blends. Knitting and finishing of the fabrics
are performed to specific customer orders in the case of orders
representing the majority of the dollar volume of this division.
The knitted fabrics division is currently operating its
manufacturing facilities at near full capacity.

Raw Materials

The textile segment's principal raw material is cotton,
although it also spins polyester, wool, linen fiber, acrylic,
nylon and rayon fibers and weaves filament acetate and textured
polyester. Polyester is obtained primarily from three major
suppliers, all of whom provide competitive prices. Polyester and
rayon are currently at the lowest prices the Company has paid
since fiscal year 1993. There can be no assurance, however, that
this trend will continue. During fiscal year 1997, the Company's
average delivered price per pound of cotton purchased and
consumed (including freight, carrying costs and costs for the
relatively high amount of premium

Item 1 (Continued)

cotton that the Company uses) was $.833, as compared to $.944 in
fiscal year 1996 and $.817 in fiscal year 1995. In fiscal year
1998, the Company expects to use approximately 92 million pounds
of cotton (including approximately 17 million pounds of premium
cotton) and 23 million pounds of polyester in its manufacture of
yarn for woven and knitted textiles. The Company has contracted
to purchase, at average delivered prices lower than in the
preceding fiscal year, about 71% of its expected cotton
requirements for fiscal year 1998 and 14% of its expected cotton
requirements for fiscal year 1999. The percentage of the
Company's cotton requirements that the Company fixes each year
varies depending upon the Company's forecast of future cotton
prices. The Company believes that recent cotton prices have
enabled it to contract for cotton at prices that will permit it
to be competitive with other companies in the United States
textile industry when the cotton purchased for future use is put
into production. To the extent that cotton prices decrease before
the Company uses these future purchases, the Company could be
materially and adversely affected. In addition, to the extent
that cotton prices increase, the Company may be materially and
adversely affected as there can be no assurance that it would be
able to pass along these increased costs to its customers.

Apparel Segment

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

"Duck Head" Apparel. The division produces collections 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, through an affiliated
company.

"Duck Head" labeled products are primarily marketed by
employed sales staff to regional and national retailers. The
"Duck Head" trademark has been associated with apparel since 1865
and has been historically distributed in the Southeastern United
States. The company acquired the brand in February 1989. The
company has recently capitalized on the rise in popularity of the
brand and expanded its marketing efforts in department stores
nationwide. The division opened its first in-store Duck Head Shop
in April 1997 and now has installed over 200 men's and 150 boys'
shops in major department stores. The "shop" display format of
the entire Duck Head line utilizes dedicated retail floorspace in
the sportswear department positioned with other prominent
national brands. Gross sales of "Duck Head" labeled products were
approximately $90 million, $79 million and $81 million during
fiscal 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively.



Item 1 (Continued)

"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"
currently acquires 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 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 31 outlet stores in 10 states
that sell principally closeout and irregular "Duck Head"
products. These stores also sell a small amount of apparel items
manufactured by Duck Head licensees.

"Delta Apparel". "Delta Apparel", which is headquartered in
Duluth, Georgia, operates a total of 5 facilities and produces
knitted T-shirts, polo-type 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 $112 million, $123 million and $102 million during
fiscal 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively.

The division's knit apparel marketing is performed by
employed sales personnel located throughout the country. Sales
personnel call directly on the retail trade, contacting
department stores, distributors, screen printing companies and
the mass marketers such as discount houses. This operation also
utilizes independent sales representatives to sell to
distributors and screen printing companies. Most 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.



Item 1 (Continued)

Fitness Equipment

"Nautilus" Fitness Equipment. Nautilus manufactures
strength-training and aerobic exercise equipment for commercial
club, institutional facility and home-use fitness markets. The
newest strength product line is called "2ST" and consists of
machines intended for the commercial club market. The previous
model "Next Generation" product line is currently still
available. Nautilus also produces a line of weight resistance
machines for women called "Nautilus for Women", and the Power
Plus and Free Weight line of equipment. As a supplement to the
weight resistance line, Nautilus produces multi-station machines
that serve those markets that have space and budget limitations.
Nautilus also produces aerobic machines for the institutional
market, including recumbent bikes, stairclimbers, treadmills
and a skate machine. Home products include a multi-station
"Personal Circuit" and lower priced bike and stepper machines.

Nautilus' historical strength has been in the
commercial/institutional market where it targets health clubs,
YMCAs, medical rehabilitation, and corporate facilities. The
manufacturing operations at Nautilus are vertically integrated,
including metal fabrication, metal preparation/painting
facilities, fabrication, and plastic vacuum forming operations.
Fabrication is predominately made-to-stock with customer orders
painted and filled on an assembly-to-order basis. The Company
believes that the manufacturing operation is currently operating
at approximately 75% of capacity.

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.

The Company sells textiles primarily to domestic apparel
manufacturers, many of which operate offshore sewing operations
and it sells to apparel customers in the domestic market. The
Company competes with numerous domestic and foreign
manufacturers, including companies larger in size and having
greater financial resources than the Company. The principal
competitive factors are price, service, delivery time, quality
and flexibility, with the relative importance of each factor
depending upon the needs of particular customers and the specific
product offering

The woven fabrics division's competitive position varies by
product line. There are several major domestic competitors in the
finished cotton and cotton/polyester blend woven fabrics




Item 1 (Continued)

business, none of which dominates the market. The Company
believes, however, that it has a strong competitive position in
the all cotton pants-weight fabrics business, as well as the spun
synthetic slack-weight and skirt-weight woven fabrics businesses.
In addition, the Company is one of several major domestic
suppliers of acetate unfinished fabric used in apparel linings
and surgical tapes. Additional competitive strengths of the woven
fabrics division include: knowledge of its customers' business
needs; its ability to produce special fabrics such as textured
blends; state-of-the-art spinning, weaving and fabric finishing
equipment at most of its facilities; substantial vertical
integration; and its ability to communicate electronically with
its customers.

The United States knitted fabrics industry is highly
decentralized and is characterized by fierce competition among
many companies. Recently, however, Dyersburg Corporation and West
Point-Stevens, Inc. announced the proposed acquisition by
Dyersburg Corporation of the Alamac (knitted fabrics) division of
West Point-Stevens, Inc. If this acquisition were consummated,
the Company believes that the combined entity would be the
largest circular knitted fabrics manufacturer in the United
States with substantially greater resources than the Company's
knitted fabrics division. This may have a material adverse effect
upon the Company. There can be no assurance that there will not
be further consolidation in this industry. The significant
vertical integration of the knitted fabrics division's
manufacturing operations, its modern production facilities and
its experience in performing the more complicated manufacturing
techniques required in the production of 100% cotton fabrics
enable the Company to compete in the knitted fabric market.

Foreign competition is a significant factor in the United
States fabric market. The Company believes that its relatively
small manual labor component, highly-automated manufacturing
processes and domestic manufacturing base allow the Company to
compete on a price basis and to respond more quickly than foreign
producers to changing fashion trends and to its domestic
customers' delivery schedules. In addition, the Company benefits
from protections afforded to apparel manufacturers based in
certain Latin American and Caribbean countries that ship finished
garments into the United States. NAFTA has effectively eliminated
or substantially reduced tariffs on goods imported from Mexico if
such goods are made from fabric originating in Canada, Mexico or
the United States. Section 807 provides for the duty-free
treatment of United States origin components used in the assembly
of imported articles. The result is that duty is assessed only on
the value of any foreign components that may be present and the
labor costs incurred offshore in the assembly of apparel using
United States origin fabric components. Because Section 807
creates an incentive to use fabric manufactured in the United
States, it is beneficial to the Company and other domestic
producers of apparel fabrics. In addition, pursuant to Section
807A, apparel articles assembled in a Caribbean country, in which
all fabric components have been wholly formed and cut in the
United States, are subject to preferential quotas with respect to
access into the United States for such qualifying apparel, in
addition to the significant tariff reduction pursuant to Section
807. A similar program, enacted as a result of NAFTA and referred
to as the Special Regime Program, provides even greater benefits
(complete duty-free, quota-free treatment) for apparel assembled
in Mexico from fabric components formed and cut in the United
States. In contrast, apparel not meeting the criteria of Section
807, Section
Item 1 (Continued)

807A, or the Special Regime Program, is subject to quotas and/or
relatively higher tariffs. If Section 807, Section 807A or the
Special Regime Program were repealed or altered in whole or in
part, the Company believes that it could be at a serious
competitive disadvantage relative to textile manufacturers in
other parts of the world seeking to enter the United States
market, which would have a material and adverse effect on the
Company. Moreover, there can be no assurance that the current
favorable regulatory environment will continue or that other
geographic areas will not be afforded similar regulatory
advantages.
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-
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 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 various 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 information contained under the subheading
"Environmental Matters" under the heading "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial
Condition" incorporated into item 7 of this form 10-K is
incorporated herein for reference.

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 in the future will have a material adverse effect on
its operations or financial condition. There can be no
assurance, however, that future changes in federal, state or
local regulations, interpretations of existing regulations 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.

(2) Titles to these facilities and substantially all of the
equipment located in such facilities are held by three South
Carolina counties under a fee-in-lieu-of-taxes arrangement,
which has the effect of substantially reducing the Company's
property taxes in South Carolina. Although the Company can
reacquire such property at a nominal price, this would
currently cause a significant increase in the amount of
property taxes paid by the Company.
(3) The Honduras plant has a lease that expires in November
2000. The San Jose plant is leased on a month-to-month
basis.
(4) The "Duck Head " Outlet Stores lease a portion of the
facility for retail sales.
(5) The "Duck head" Outlet Stores Operation leases 31
facilities in 10 states, which leased
space is approximately 173,000 square feet. These leases
expire at various dates through 2005.

Except as noted above all of the above facilities are owned
by Delta Woodside or one of its subsidiaries, subject in certain
cases to various outstanding mortgages and security interests.

Delta Woodside leases corporate offices in Greenville, South
Carolina. The lease on the corporate offices expires December
1997. 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 that its weaving and knitting plants are operating near
full production capacity. 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 the majority of its internal
production capacity. The fitness equipment operation is
operating at approximately 75% of its production capacity.

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

The Company's accounts receivable and inventory, and certain
other intangible property (including the capital stock of the
Company's major united states subsidiaries), secure the company's
credit facility or the credit facility of the company's indirect
wholly owned subsidiary, Delta Mills, Inc.
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 is
reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on its
results of operations or financial condition taken as a whole.

Item 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY-HOLDERS

No matter was submitted to a vote of security holders during
the fourth quarter of the Company's 1997 fiscal year.
