     Item 5. Other Events
             ------------

     On March 31, 2000, Delta Mills,  Inc. ("Delta Mills") replaced its existing
bank credit facility with a new revolving credit facility.  Borrowings under the
new credit facility will be based on eligible accounts  receivable and inventory
of Delta Mills, subject to a maximum availability limit. The new credit facility
has a three-year term and is secured by the accounts  receivable,  inventory and
capital  stock of Delta  Mills and Delta Mills  Marketing,  Inc.  (Delta  Mill's
wholly-owned subsidiary).  The interest rate on the new credit facility is based
on a spread over either LIBOR or a base rate. In connection with this new credit
facility,  Delta Mills terminated its prior bank credit  facility.  On March 31,
2000, there were no borrowings under either the prior credit facility or the new
credit facility.

     The new credit facility contains  restrictive  covenants which, among other
matters,  require that Delta Mills' Maximum  Leverage Ratio not exceed specified
ratios.  The agreement also  restricts  additional  indebtedness,  dividends and
capital  expenditures.   The  new  credit  facility  does  not  contain  certain
restrictions  that were present in the credit  facility  that it  replaces.  The
payment of dividends with respect to Delta Mills' stock is permitted if there is
no event of default and there is at least $1 of undrawn  availability  under the
facility.
