NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE A--BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of Delta
Mills, Inc. ("the Company") have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments consisting of only normal recurring accruals
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating
results for the three months ended September 28, 2002 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 28,
2003. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements
and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for
the year ended June 29, 2002.
NOTE B--SUMMARIZED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF SUBSIDIARY
Delta Mills Marketing, Inc. (the "Guarantor") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Company and has fully and unconditionally guaranteed (the "Guarantee") the
Company's payment of principal, premium, if any, interest and certain liquidated
damages, if any, on the Company's Senior Notes. The Guarantor's liability under
the Guarantee is limited to such amount, the payment of which would not have
left the Guarantor insolvent or with unreasonably small capital at the time its
Guarantee was entered into, after giving effect to the incurrence of existing
indebtedness immediately prior to such time.
The Guarantor is the sole subsidiary of the Company and does not comprise a
material portion of the Company's assets or operations. All future subsidiaries
of the Company will provide guarantees identical to the one described in the
preceding paragraph unless such future subsidiaries are Receivables Subsidiaries
(as defined in the indenture relating to the Notes). Such additional guarantees
will be joint and several with the Guarantee of the Guarantor.
The Company has not presented separate financial statements or other disclosures
concerning the Guarantor because Company management has determined that such
information is not material to investors.
Summarized financial information for the Guarantor is as follows (in thousands):

NOTE C-LONG-TERM DEBT, CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS, AND NOTES PAYABLE
On August 25, 1997 the Company issued $150 million of unsecured ten-year Senior
Notes at an interest rate of 9.625%. These notes will mature in August 2007. At
September 28, 2002, the outstanding balance of the notes was $46,266,000, a
decrease of $1,553,000 from the balance at June 29, 2002.
Delta Mills has a secured $50 million revolving credit facility that expires on
March 31, 2004. Borrowings under this credit facility are based on eligible
accounts receivable and inventory of the Company, subject to a maximum $37.5
million availability limit. The facility is secured by the accounts receivable,
inventory and capital stock of the Company. The interest rate on the credit
facility is based on a spread over either LIBOR or a base rate. Borrowings under
this facility were $7.8 million and $11.4 million as of September 28, 2002 and
June 29, 2002, respectively.
The Delta Mills' credit facility contains restrictive covenants that restrict
additional indebtedness, dividends, and capital expenditures, and includes a
minimum availability requirement. The payment of dividends with respect to Delta
Mills, Inc. stock is permitted if there is no event of default and there is at
least $1 of availability under the facility. During the quarter ended September
28, 2002 and the year ended June 29, 2002, Delta Mills did not pay any dividends
to Delta Woodside Industries, Inc. Under the minimum availability requirement,
Delta Mills' availability for borrowings cannot exceed $37.5 million. The
revolver availability was approximately $25 million at September 28, 2002.
Management believes the availability under Delta Mills' credit facility is
adequate.
The Company assigns a substantial portion of its trade accounts receivable to
GMAC Commercial Credit LLC (the Factor) under a factor agreement. The assignment
of these receivables is primarily without recourse, provided that customer
orders are approved by the Factor prior to shipment of goods, up to a maximum
for each individual account. The assigned trade accounts receivables are
recorded on the Company's books at full value and represent amounts due the
Company from the Factor. There are no advances from the Factor against the
assigned receivables. All factoring fees are recorded on the Company's books as
incurred as a part of General and Administrative Expense.
NOTE D - RESTRUCTURING AND IMPAIRMENT CHARGES
During the year ended June 29, 2002, the Company took an impairment and
restructuring charge of $8.7 million, on a pretax basis, associated with the
closing of the Furman Plant as announced on August 22, 2001. Pursuant to SFAS
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of", the
Company recorded an $8.2 million non-cash asset write-down to reflect the
property and equipment at the Furman Plant at its estimated fair value, less
selling costs. The carrying amount of these assets was reduced to approximately
$3,923,000. The balance of the charge was approximately $.5 million of accrued
expenses for involuntary termination costs associated with the 122 employees
terminated as a result of the plant closing. Production at the Furman facility
ceased on October 21, 2001 and the Company is in the process of liquidating the
assets associated with this facility. The Company expects to complete the sale
of these assets in fiscal year 2003.
NOTE E - GAIN ON EXTINGUISHMENT OF DEBT
In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements
Nos. 4 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections".
Among other things, Statement No. 145, through the rescission of Statement No.
4, will no longer require extraordinary item treatment for gains and losses from
the extinguishment of debt, unless the debt extinguishment meets the unusual in
nature and infrequency of occurrence criteria established in APB 30. The
Statement was effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002 and
requires the reclassification of prior period items that do not meet the
extraordinary item classification criteria in APB 30. Upon adoption, the Company
reclassified all extraordinary gains recognized for the early extinguishment of
debt as a component of income before income taxes for all financial statement
periods presented. During the quarter ended September 28, 2002, the Company
purchased $1,553,000 face amount of its 9.625% Senior Notes for $815,000. The
Company recognized a gain of $738,000 as a result of this purchase, which is
included in income before income taxes in the accompanying statement of
operations.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion contains certain "forward-looking statements". All
statements, other than statements of historical fact, that address activities,
events or developments that the Company expects or anticipates will or may occur
in the future, including such matters as future revenues, future cost savings,
future capital expenditures, business strategy, competitive strengths, goals,
plans, references to future success and other such information are
forward-looking statements. The words "estimate", "project", "anticipate",
"expect", "intend", "believe" and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report are based on the
Company's expectations and are subject to a number of business risks and
uncertainties, any of which could cause actual results to differ materially from
those set forth in or implied by the forward-looking statements. These risks and
uncertainties include, among others, changes in the retail demand for apparel
products, the cost of raw materials, competitive conditions in the apparel and
textile industries, the relative strength of the United States dollar as against
other currencies, changes in United States trade regulations and the discovery
of unknown conditions (such as with respect to environmental matters and similar
items). The Company does not undertake publicly to update or revise the
forward-looking statements even if it becomes clear that any projected results
will not be realized.
Delta Mills, Inc. ("the Company") sells a broad range of woven, finished apparel
fabric primarily to branded apparel manufactures and resellers. The Company also
sells camouflage fabric and other fabrics used in apparel sold to the United
States Department of Defense.
Net sales for the three months ended September 28, 2002 were $46.2 million as
compared to $37.0 million in the same quarter of the prior fiscal year, an
increase of 24.9%. The increase in sales was due principally to a 23.0% increase
in unit volume resulting from increased market demand. The average sales price
increased 1.6% in the current quarter as compared to the previous year quarter.
Gross profit was $5.5 million and 12.0% of sales in the first quarter of fiscal
year 2003. This compares to gross profit of $1.1 million and 2.9% of sales in
the prior year first quarter. For the current quarter, the increase in gross
profit was due to sales volume increases, improved product mix, increased
production schedules and lower operating costs. The first three factors were
primarily the result of increased market demand in all product categories. Also
contributing to the increase in gross profit was the cost reduction program
implemented during fiscal year 2002.
Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) was $2.9 million and 6.3% of
net sales for the first quarter of fiscal year 2003 compared to SG&A of $2.6
million and 7.0% of net sales for the prior year first quarter. As a percentage
of sales, SG&A decreased over the previous year quarter. The increase in the
SG&A dollar amount over the previous year's quarter expense represents increases
in expenses associated with increased sales volume and increased operating
schedules.
The Company reported operating income of $3.1 million in the current year first
quarter compared to an operating loss of $10.2 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 2002. The previous year quarter's operating loss included impairment and
restructuring charges of $8.7 million related to the closing of the Company's
Furman facility. Excluding impairment and restructuring charges of closed
facilities, the Company's operating loss would have been $1.5 million for the
three months ended September 29, 2001. The improvement in operating income is
due to the factors described above.
8
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED
Interest expense was $1.5 million for the quarter ended September 28, 2002,
compared to $2.5 million for the prior year quarter. The reduction in interest
expense was primarily due to the reduction in the balance of the Senior Notes.
There was no interest income in the current quarter compared to interest income
of $0.1 million in the previous year quarter.
Included in other (expense) income for the quarter ended September 28, 2002 was
$0.7 million resulting from the repurchase by the Company of a portion of its
9.625% Senior Notes. There was no similar income or expense reported in this
category in the previous year quarter.
The income tax expense for the quarter was $0.9 million. This compares to an
income tax benefit of $4.4 million in the previous year quarter. The effective
tax rate for the current period was the statutory rate of 38.5%. The tax rate
for the benefit for the previous year quarter was estimated at 35%.
The Company reported net income of $1.4 million for the quarter ended September
28, 2002 compared to a net loss of $8.2 million for the quarter ended September
29, 2001. Net income for the current year quarter included a gain of $0.5 on an
after tax basis from the repurchase of a portion of the Company's 9.625% Senior
Notes. The net loss for the three months ended September 29, 2001 included asset
impairment and restructuring costs associated with closed facilities of $5.6
million on an after tax basis.
For the current quarter, the Company generated $6.2 million and used $5.7
million in cash for a net increase in cash of $0.5 million. Cash generated from
operations was $5.5 million. The Company also generated $0.7 million in cash
from various machinery and equipment sales. Cash uses for the quarter were $1.3
million for capital expenditures, $0.8 million for the repurchase of Senior
Notes, and $3.6 million for revolver debt reduction. The Company believes that
the cash flow generated by its operations combined with the availability on its
revolving credit facility will be sufficient to service its debt, to satisfy its
day to day working capital requirements and to fund its planned capital
expenditures.
On November 6, 2002, the Company announced that it had started a major capital
project to modernize its Delta 3 cotton finishing plant in Wallace SC. The
Company expects that the first phase of this project will be complete by June of
2003. During fiscal year 2004 and 2005, the Company plans additional capital
expenditures for this project to make the finishing facility better prepared for
growth and improved product quality.
On August 25, 1997 Delta Mills issued $150 million of unsecured ten-year Senior
Notes at an interest rate of 9.625%. These notes will mature in August 2007. At
September 28, 2002, the outstanding balance of the notes was $46,266,000, a
decrease of $1,553,000 from the balance at June 29, 2002.
Delta Mills has a secured $50 million revolving credit facility that expires on
March 31, 2004. Borrowings under this credit facility are based on eligible
accounts receivable and inventory of the Company, subject to a maximum $37.5
million availability limit. The facility is secured by the accounts receivable,
inventory and capital stock of the Company. The interest rate on the credit
facility is based on a spread over either LIBOR or a base rate. Borrowings under
this facility were $7.8 million and $11.4 million as of September 28, 2002 and
June 29, 2002, respectively.
The Delta Mills' credit facility contains restrictive covenants that restrict
additional indebtedness, dividends, and capital expenditures, and includes a
minimum availability requirement. The payment of dividends with respect to Delta
Mills, Inc. stock is permitted if there is no event of default and there is at
least $1 of availability under the facility. During the quarter ended September
28, 2002 and the year ended June 29, 2002, Delta Mills did not pay any dividends
to Delta Woodside Industries, Inc. Under the minimum availability requirement,
Delta Mills' availability for borrowings cannot exceed $37.5 million. The
revolver availability was approximately $25 million at September 28, 2002.
Management believes the availability under Delta Mills' credit facility is
adequate.
9
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED
In August of 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations". SFAS 143 requires an enterprise to record the fair value of an
asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a
legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets,
which assets result from the acquisition, construction, development and or
normal use of the assets. The enterprise also is to record a corresponding
increase to the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset (i.e. the
associated asset retirement costs) and to depreciate that cost over the life of
the asset. The liability is changed at the end of each period to reflect the
passage of time (i.e. accretion expense) and changes in the estimated future
cash flows underlying the initial fair value measurement. This statement is
effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company has
adopted the Statement effective for fiscal 2003. The adoption of this standard
has not materially impacted the Company.
On October 3, 2001 the FASB issued statement No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" that is applicable to financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The FASB's
new rules on asset impairment supersede FASB statement No. 121, "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
Of", and provide a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed
of. The Company has adopted the Statement effective for fiscal 2003. The
adoption of this standard has not materially impacted the Company.
In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements
Nos. 4 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections".
Among other things, Statement No. 145, through the rescission of Statement No.
4, will no longer require extraordinary item treatment for gains and losses from
the extinguishment of debt, unless the debt extinguishment meets the unusual in
nature and infrequency of occurrence criteria established in APB 30. The
Statement was effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002 and
requires the reclassification of prior period items that do not meet the
extraordinary item classification criteria in APB 30. Upon adoption, the Company
reclassified all extraordinary gains recognized for the early extinguishment of
debt as a component of income before income taxes for all financial statement
periods presented.
In July 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 146, "Accounting for Obligations
Associated with Disposal Activities". Statement No. 146 addresses financial
reporting and accounting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities.
It nullifies EITF Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee
Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain
Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)". Statement 146 requires that a liability be
recognized for such costs only when the liability is incurred, which is in
contrast to EITF No. 94-3, which requires the recognition of a liability upon
the commitment to an exit plan. The Statement is effective for exit or disposal
activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company believes the
adoption of Statement No. 146 will not have a material impact on its financial
statements.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of
significant judgements and uncertainties, and potentially result in materially
different results under different assumptions and conditions.
Impairment of Long - Lived Assets: When required by circumstances, the Company
evaluates the recoverability of its long - lived assets by comparing estimated
future undiscounted cash flows with the asset's carrying amount to determine if
a write - down to fair value is required.
10
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Commodity Risk Sensitivity
As a part of the Company's business of converting fiber to finished fabric, the
Company makes raw cotton purchase commitments and then fixes prices with cotton
merchants who buy from producers and sell to textile manufacturers. Daily price
fluctuations are minimal, yet long-term trends in price movement can result in
unfavorable pricing of cotton. Before fixing prices, the Company looks at supply
and demand fundamentals, recent price trends and other factors that affect
cotton prices. The Company also reviews the backlog of orders from customers as
well as the level of fixed price cotton commitments in the industry in general.
As of September 28, 2002, a 10% decline in market price of the Company's fixed
price contracts would have had a negative impact of approximately $1.1 million
on the value of the contracts. As of June 29, 2002, such a 10% decline would
have had a negative impact of $1.5 million. The decline in the potential
negative impact from June 29, 2002 to September 28, 2002 is due principally to a
decline in the quantity of cotton with fixed prices as compared to the previous
period.
Interest Rate Sensitivity
The $50 million secured four-year revolving credit facility expiring in 2004 is
sensitive to changes in interest rates. Interest is based on a spread over LIBOR
or a base rate. An interest rate increase would have a negative impact to the
extent the Company borrows against the revolving credit facility. The impact
would be dependent on the level of borrowings incurred. As of September 28,
2002, an increase in the interest rate of 1% would have a negative impact of
approximately $77,500. As of June 29, 2002, an increase in the interest rate of
1% would have had a negative impact of approximately $114,000. The decline in
the potential negative impact from June 29, 2002 to September 28, 2002 is due to
the decrease in borrowings from the facility.
An interest rate change would not have an impact on the payments due under the
fixed rate ten year Senior Notes.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including
the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures within 90 days of the filing date of this quarterly report, and,
based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer have concluded that these controls and procedures are effective. There
were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that
could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their
evaluation.
Disclosure controls and procedures are our controls and other procedures that
are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the
reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and
Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures
include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit
under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
