In connection with the Distribution, Delta Woodside contributed, as contributions to capital, all net debt amounts owed to it by the Company, with certain exceptions. Borrowings related to the Company under Delta Woodside's credit agreement were repaid with the proceeds from borrowings under the Company's new credit agreement. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months and six months ended SeptemberDecember 30, 2000 and October 2, 1999,January 1, 2000, included herein, have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.

Based on results to date and projections for the remainder of fiscal year 2001, the Company expects to use its remaining federal net operating loss carryforwards and be subject to income taxes on a portion of its income. Based on these projections, management estimates that the valuation allowances on the tax benefit resulting from net operating loss carryforwards will be reduced or eliminated, resulting in an annualized forecasted effective income tax rate of 18.0%.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion contains various "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 are forward-looking statements. Examples are statements that concern future revenues, future costs, future capital expenditures, business strategy, competitive strengths, competitive weaknesses, goals, plans, references to future success or difficulties and other similar information. The words "estimate", "project", "forecast", "anticipate", "expect", "intend", "believe" and similar expressions, and discussions of strategy or intentions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report are based on the Company's expectations and are necessarily dependent upon assumptions, estimates and data that the Company believes are reasonable and accurate but may be incorrect, incomplete or imprecise. Forward-looking statements are also 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. The 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). Accordingly, any forward-looking statements do not purport to be predictions of future events or circumstances and may not be realized. 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. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net sales in the firstsecond quarter of fiscal year 2001 were $30.6increased 22.3% to $26.4 million an increase of $2.0 million, or 6.9%, from net sales of $28.7 million in the firstsecond quarter of the prior fiscal year. The increase in net sales was almost entirely the result of increased unit sales (up 8.5%21.6%, accounting for $2.4$4.7 million). For the six months ended December 30, 2000, net sales were $57.0 million, an increase of $6.8 million, or 13.5%, from net sales in the six months ended January 1, 2000. The increase in net sales for the six month period is the result of increased unit sales (up 14.4%, accounting for $7.2 million) offset by slightly lower unit prices (down 1.4%0.7%, accounting for $0.4 million). The pricing declines were dueAs part of the marketing strategy to an average 8.0-10.0% decline in same style pricing, partially offset by an increase inunit sales and increase the sales of higher priced products.margin products, the Company lowered the sales prices of some key products to generate increased sales volume. For fiscal year 2001, the Company currently projects a sales growth at an annualized rate approachingof approximately 10% and an operating earningsprofit growth at a multiple of approximately 20% over the sales growth rate.prior fiscal year. The Company's midrange sales expectations for the balance of fiscal year 2001 are dependent on no additional significantmaterial declines in same style pricing. Gross profit increased to $7.2$4.7 million, or 23.6%17.9% of sales, in the first three months of fiscal 2001ended December 30, 2000 from $3.7$3.0 million, or 12.9%14.0% of sales, in the same period of fiscal 2000. For the first six months of fiscal year 2001, gross profit was $12.0 million, or 21.0% of sales, an increase of $5.2 million from the first six months of fiscal year 2000. The increased gross profit resulted fromin the three and six months ended December 30, 2000 was the result of increased volume and the change of the product mix towards the sale of higher margin products. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended December 30, 2000 were $2.8 million, or 10.5% of sales, an increase of $1.0 million, or 8.2% of sales, in the same quarter of last year. During the threesecond quarter of fiscal year 2001, the Company incurred $0.2 million in legal and other fees successfully defending itself against a proxy contest and increased bad debt reserves by $.3 million due to the Chapter 11 filing of a customer. Commissions also increased by $0.2 million resulting from the increased sales of higher margin products. For the six months ended SeptemberDecember 30, 2000, selling, general and administrative expenses were $2.7 million, as compared to $1.9 million during the three months ended October 2, 1999,9.5% of sales, an increase from 7.3% of $0.8 million or 39.6%. For the first quarter of fiscal 2001, expenses in this category were 8.7% of net sales as compared to 6.6% of net sales for the first quarter of fiscalsix months ended January 1, 2000. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was driven by an increase of $0.6 million in administrative costs and an increase of bad debt expense of $0.2 million. The higher administrative costs resulted fromprimarily due to the move of the corporate headquarters, the proxy contest, higher commission expense resulting from the increased sales of higher margin products, public reporting expenses, and an increase in distribution expense and increased bad debt expense. Bad debt expense in thisThe Company's operating income increased $0.7 million to $2.0 million for the second quarter was 0.7% of sales and is consistent with our expectations. Thefiscal year 2001, an increase of 57.9% from the same quarter of fiscal year 2000. For the six months ended December 30, 2000, was due to bad debt expense being unusually low in that quarter. The Company's operating income was $4.6increased 116.9% to $6.5 million forfrom the first quarter of fiscal 2001, compared to $1.8 million in fiscal 2000, an increase of $2.8 million or 158.1%. Delta Apparel's improvedsix months ended January 1, 2000. Improved gross profit, offset by slightly higher selling, general and administrative costs contributed to the improvement in operating income in the first quarter of fiscal year 2001 due to the factors described above. The Company's operating income as a percentage of net sales increased to 15.0% for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to 6.2% for the first quarter of fiscal 2000.income. For the three months ended SeptemberDecember 30, 2000, net interest expense was $0.3 million, as compared to $2.2$2.1 million for the three months ended October 2, 1999. January 1, 2000. Net interest expense for the six months ended December 30, 2000 was $0.6 million, a decrease of $3.7 million from the same period of fiscal year 2000. This reduction was a result of the contribution to equity of the intercompany debt in connection with the spin-off from Delta Woodside Industries, Inc. on June 30, 2000. The effective income tax rate on pretax income for the three months and six months ended SeptemberDecember 30, 2000 was 18.0%, compared to 1.3% for the fiscal year ended July 1, 2000. Based on results to date and projections for the remainder of fiscal year 2001, the Company expects to use its remaining federal net operating loss carryforwards and be subject to income taxes on a portion of its income. Based on these projections, management estimates that the valuation allowances on the tax benefit resulting from net operating loss carryforwards will be reduced or eliminated, resulting in an annualized forecasted effective income tax rate of 18.0%. Net income for the firstsecond quarter of fiscal year 2001 was $3.5$1.4 million, asor 5.3% of sales compared to a net loss of $0.5$0.7 million for the firstsecond quarter of fiscal year 2000. For the six months ended December 30, 2000, net income increased $6.1 million to $4.9 million from the loss in the six months ended January 1, 2000. The improved net income was due to the factors described above. Delta Apparel's order backlog at SeptemberDecember 30, 2000 was $13.0$12.8 million, a $7.2$0.4 million decrease from the $20.2$13.2 million order backlog at October 2, 1999.January 1, 2000. The decrease in backlog is due to the reduction of forward purchase commitments given by distributors and the increase in short notice orders from catalog customers. This is due tothe result of the decrease in sales to distributors from approximately 38%34% of sales in the first quartersix months of fiscal 2000 to 25%24% of sales in the first quartersix months of fiscal 2001. As a growing percentage of the Company's business isgoods are sold on an immediate shipment basis, Delta Apparel believes that backlog order levels may no longer give a general indication of future sales. Inventories at SeptemberDecember 30, 2000 totaled $32.0$39.5 million, compared to $28.2 million at July 1, 2000. The increase in inventories is due to an increase in manufacturing capacity which will allow the Company to meet its projected sales growth. The Company will continue to build its inventory levels as it prepares for its anticipated sales growth for the balance of the fiscal year. Capital expenditures in the three months ended SeptemberDecember 30, 2000 were $0.4$0.7 million as compared to $0.1$0.9 million in the three months ended October 2, 1999. These investmentsJanuary 1, 2000. For the first six months of fiscal year 2001, capital expenditures were $1.1 million which was consistent with the first six months of fiscal year 2000. The expenditures in fiscal year 2001 were primarily related to E-commerce and the Company's expansion into Mexico. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Delta Apparel's operating activities providedused cash of $4.4 million and $13.1$1.1 million in the first quartersix months of fiscal year 2001 and the first quarter of fiscal year 2000, respectively.2001. The cash provided in the first quarter of fiscal year 2001used was primarily due tothe result of an increase in inventory and a decrease in accrued expenses, offset by net income and a reduction in accounts receivable, offset by an increase in inventory. The cash provided in the first quarter of fiscal year 2000 was primarily due to a reduction in accounts receivable and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses.receivables. In mid-May 2000, Delta Apparel entered into a credit agreement with a lending institution, under which the lender provided Delta Apparel with a $10 million term loan and a 3-year $25 million revolving credit facility. All loans under the credit agreement bear interest at rates based on an adjusted LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin or a bank's prime rate plus an applicable margin. Delta Apparel granted the lender a first mortgage lien on or security interest in substantially all of its assets. Delta Apparel has the option to increase the revolving credit facility from $25 million to $30 million, provided that no event of default exists under the facility. Delta Apparel expects that its peak borrowing needs will be in its third and fourth fiscal quartersquarter and that during those quartersthat quarter it may need to draw on the revolver or set aside for letters of credit approximately $7.0$10.0 million under its revolving credit facility for working capital purposes and letters of credit. At December 30, 2000, the Company had $3.0 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility at an interest rate of 9.5%. The interest rate at December 30, 2000 on the term loan at September 30, 2000 was 8.63%8.74%. Based on these expectations, Delta Apparel believes that its $25 million revolving credit facility should be sufficient to satisfy its foreseeable working capital needs, and that the cash flow generated by its operations and funds available under its revolving credit line should be sufficient to service its debt payment requirements, to satisfy its day-to-day working capital needs and to fund its planned capital expenditures. Any material deterioration in Delta Apparel's results of operations, however, may result in Delta Apparel losing its ability to borrow under its revolving credit facility and to issue letters of credit to suppliers or may cause the borrowing availability under that facility to be insufficient for Delta Apparel's needs. On November 1, 2000, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase by the Company in open market transactions of up to $3.0 million of Delta Apparel common stock ("Stock Repurchase Program"). All purchases are made at the discretion of management in accordance with IRS guidelines for share repurchases after a spin-off. In connection with the Stock Repurchase Program, during the three months ended December 30, 2000, the Company purchased 3,300 shares of Delta Apparel common stock for an aggregate of $52,000. The Company has authorization to spend up to $3 million under its bank credit agreement for share repurchases. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market RisksRisk COMMODITY RISK SENSITIVITY The Company purchases cotton from approximately seven established merchants with whom it has long standing relationships. The majority of the Company's purchases are executed using "on-call" contracts. These on-call arrangements are used to insure that an adequate supply of cotton is available for the Company's requirements. Under on-call contracts, the Company agrees to purchase specific quantities for delivery on specific dates, with pricing to be determined at a later time. Prices are set according to prevailing prices, as reported by the New York Cotton Exchange, at the time of the Company's election to fix specific contracts. Cotton on-call with a fixed price at SeptemberDecember 30, 2000 was valued at $9.8$9.9 million, and is scheduled for delivery between October, 2000January, 2001 and March,September, 2001. At SeptemberDecember 30, 2000, the Company had unpriced contracts for deliveries between January,April, 2001 and September, 2001. Based on the prevailing price at SeptemberDecember 30, 2000, the value of these unpriced commitments is approximately $8.2$4.3 million. Daily price fluctuations are minimal, yet long-term trends in price movement can result in unfavorable pricing of cotton for Delta Apparel. Delta Apparel does not use financial instruments to hedge commodity price risk. At SeptemberDecember 30, 2000, a 10% decline in the market price of the cotton covered by Delta Apparel's fixed price contracts would have had a negative impact of approximately $1.0 million on the value of the contracts. INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY Delta Apparel's credit agreement provides that the interest rate on outstanding amounts owed shall bear interest at variable rates. If the amount of outstanding indebtedness at SeptemberDecember 30, 2000 under the revolver and term loan had been the amount outstanding during the entire three months ended SeptemberDecember 30, 2000 and the interest rate on this outstanding indebtedness had been increased by 1%, Delta Apparel's expense would have been approximately $0.1 million$29,000, or 11.1%, higher during the quarter. The actual increase in interest expense resulting from a change in interest rates would depend on the magnitude of the increase in rates and the average principal balance outstanding. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings The Company previously reported a product liability and wrongful death lawsuit, captioned Scelza, et al. v. Caldor, Inc., et al. This case was settled and the full amount of the settlement and legal fees were covered by insurance. On December 4, 2000, the Company was notified about a product liability lawsuit, captioned Holly Shipp, et al. v. Chico Unified School District, et al. that was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California in Butte County, California, against the Company and other parties. The lawsuit seeks an unknown amount of damages plus punitive damages and attorneys' fees for the injury sustained by Holly Shipp in September, 1999 caused by her shirt catching fire while she was in welding class. The case is still in the preliminary stages and very little discovery has been completed. Delta Apparel believes that any reasonably likely judgment in the lawsuit would be covered by insurance and, therefore, does not believe that the lawsuit will have a material adverse effect on Delta Apparel's operations, financial condition or liquidity. Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds Pursuant to the Company's incentive stock award plan, on July 31,On November 28, 2000 the Company issued an aggregate of 11,780100 shares of the Company's common stock to officers and key and middle management employees of the Company in exchangeappreciation for $117.80 aggregate consideration ($0.01 per share, as provided bytheir service to the incentive stock award plan). IssuanceCompany. The Company believes that the issuance of these shares to such officers and key and middle management employees was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by reason of Section 4(2) of that Act. On November 30, 2000, the Company redeemed (the "Redemption") all of its outstanding rights (the "Rights"), the terms of which are set forth in that certain Shareholder Rights Agreement dated January 27, 2000 (the "Rights Agreement"), by and between the Company and First Union National Bank, as rights agent. The Rights Agreement and the Rights are commonly referred to as a "poison pill." Prior to their redemption, one Right was attached to each share of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock, and the Rights were exercisable only upon the occurrence of certain events as provided in the Rights Agreement. The Redemption occurred pursuant to resolutions adopted by the Company's Board of Directors on November 1, 2000, which set the record date for the Redemption at November 16, 2000. Pursuant to the provisions of the Rights Agreement, the redemption price was $0.001 per Right. The effect of the Redemption is that the Rights are no longer outstanding or exercisable. Item 4.
