MARKET INFORMATION FOR COMMON STOCK AND DIVIDENDS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The common stock of the Company is listed on the American Stock Exchange
under the symbol DHA. The common stock was first traded on the Exchange on June
30, 2000 concurrent with the spin-off of Duck Head. On that date, the high and
low sales prices for Duck Head's common stock were $3.00 and $2.25,
respectively. Prior to the spin-off of Duck Head, Duck Head was a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Delta Woodside Industries, Inc. and there was no established
public trading market for the Company's shares.
At September 21, 2000, there were approximately 1,700 holders of record of
the Company's common stock.
No dividends were declared on the Company's common stock in fiscal 2000.
Subject to the provisions of any outstanding blank check preferred stock, the
holders of Duck Head common stock are entitled to receive whatever dividends,
if any, may be declared from time to time by the Duck Head board of directors
in its discretion from funds legally available for that purpose. Duck Head's
credit agreement permits the payment of cash dividend in an amount up to 25% of
cumulative net income (excluding extraordinary or unusual non-cash items),
provided that no event of default exists or would result from that payment and
after the payment at least $6.0 million remains available under the revolving
credit facility.
Duck Head currently anticipates that it will pay no cash dividends to its
stockholders for the foreseeable future. In general, any future cash dividend
payments will depend upon Duck Head's earnings, financial condition, capital
requirements, compliance with loan covenants and other relevant factors.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To Our Shareholders:
The Company reported a net loss of $7.4 million or $3.15 pro forma per
share for Fiscal Year 2000 compared to a net loss of $47.7 million or $19.88 pro
forma per share for the prior year. The fourth quarter 2000 operating profit was
$419 thousand versus an operating loss of $33.3 million during the fourth
quarter of the prior year.
Several key issues dominated Duck Head's management focus during our
fiscal 2000 turn-around year. These issues were:
* Repositioning the Duck Head Brand
* Reducing and Effectively Managing Finished Goods Inventory
* Developing More Cost-Effective Product Sourcing
* Reducing Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
* Opening New Retail Doors Outside the Southeastern U.S.
* Reducing Sales Allowances and Adjustments which resulted from Margin
Support Agreements with Key Accounts
* Completing the Spin-Off of Duck Head Apparel Company, Inc. from Delta
Woodside Industries, Inc.
We are pleased to report that significant progress was made this year on
each of these issues. The Duck Head brand has been refocused on 18-24 year old
collegiate males as the key target consumer. With the assistance of our
Marketing Agency, 360 THINC, LTD., a creative and cost effective marketing
program began in November 1999, and carried through the collegiate school year
utilizing new and targeted consumer focused media such as (CTN) College
Television Network, LINK Magazine and various specially selected Web sites
impactful with college aged consumers. Early research indicates an uplift in
college age consumer awareness of the Duck Head brand and an enhanced level of
purchase intent.
We began the year with $24.7 million of inventory and ended the year with
$17.8 resulting in a $6.9 million or 28% decrease. While we are higher than our
target levels, substantial progress was made. We expect to continue to make
progress in reducing our inventory levels in fiscal year 2001.
We completed the transition to off-shore sourcing for all products during
fiscal year 2000. This transition, in addition to improving the sourcing
contractor relationships in Latin America, Asia and Eastern Europe and reducing
costs and improving output in our leased production facilities in Costa Rica
has resulted in per unit cost reductions of over $.50 per unit and enhanced
gross margin on sales of 3 to 5%. Further work with contractors and the recent
passage of the Caribbean Basin Initiative should enable further cost and margin
improvement in 2001.
An all inclusive effort throughout the Company was made based on doing
more for less, resulting in the reduction of total selling, general and
administrative expenses of $14.0 million.
Duck Head set a strategic target of opening a minimum of 300 new points
of sale outside the Southeastern U.S. over a two-year time frame. The first
effort against this objective kicked-off in the 3rd & 4th quarters of fiscal
year 2000 with customer commitments to open 127 new doors. Of these new door
commitments, 41 began receiving shipments either in late fiscal 2000 or in the
first two months of fiscal 2001. The remaining 86 doors will begin initial
shipments between December 2000 and February 2001. We believe we will gain
additional new points of sale in the 4th fiscal quarter of 2001.
Significant progress was also achieved in renegotiating margin support
agreements with several key customers. These newly structured agreements should
provide results which significantly reduce sales adjustment exposures for the
Company in 2001, and beyond. There are on-going negotiations in progress with
the last few of our customers where more progress is necessary to further limit
the Company's risk.
A very significant amount of management's time and effort was devoted to
the process and ultimate consummation of the spin-off of the Company as a
separate public entity from Delta Woodside Industries, Inc. This objective was
achieved with an effective first trade date of June 30, 2000, for Duck Head
Apparel Company, Inc. (American Stock Exchange Symbol DHA). In connection with
this spin-off, the intercompany debt was either repaid or contributed to
equity. Interest bearing debt, which included substantial loans from Delta
Woodside for most of the year averaged $125.2 million during fiscal year 2000.
After the recapitalization, interest bearing debt has been reduced to $5.6
million and Duck Head has $21.2 million of stockholders' equity.
There are always unanticipated events which cause progress to be less
than would otherwise be anticipated. Fiscal year 2000 presented some
unanticipated challenges such as one major account making the decision to
voluntarily close their business, resulting in a net sales loss to Duck Head of
$1.2 million. A second
2
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
major account went through a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Petition. While we were able
to minimize the accounts receivable write-down, our previous hope to increase
sales to this account did not materialize. As part of the margin support
renegotiations with two accounts, product segment reductions were agreed upon
which resulted in lost sales of $5.8 million. However, we were able to reduce
our provisions for sales returns and allowances partially due to margin support
renegotiations with both these accounts and selected other key accounts.
The Company additionally made the decision to discontinue unprofitable
private label sales which resulted in a reduction of $3.0 million of revenue.
The ongoing benefit from these actions, either complete or still work in
progress, during these past twelve (12) months should contribute to improved
business and financial performance for fiscal year 2001 and beyond.
Sincerely,
Robert D. Rockey
Chairman of the Board, President & CEO

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Fiscal year 2000 versus fiscal year 1999
Net Sales.
Consolidated net sales for the year ended July 1, 2000 totaled $53.3
million, as compared to $70.6 million for the year ended July 3, 1999, a
decrease of 24.5%. A summary of Duck Head's net sales for the years ended July
1, 2000 and July 3, 1999 follows:
Net Sales (in millions)
Wholesale Retail Total
----------- ----------- ------------
Fiscal year 2000 ($) 38.3 15.0 53.3
Fiscal year 1999 ($) 54.1 16.5 70.6
(Decrease)($) (15.8) (1.5) (17.3)
Percent (decrease) (29.2%) (9.1%) (24.5%)
The decrease in wholesale sales dollars reflected a decrease in unit
shipments, which was primarily due to the reduction in categories of Duck Head
product carried at two key accounts, the loss of three key accounts, the exit
from certain segments of Duck Head's private label business and reduced volume
at other accounts partially offset by lower sales returns and allowances. As
Duck Head reduced margin support agreement commitments with two key accounts,
these accounts chose to reduce the categories of Duck Head product, namely
men's tops and boys' product, that it carries. This reduction in the categories
of Duck Head product carried by these two key accounts resulted in a $5.8
million reduction in sales to these accounts in the year ended July 1, 2000 as
compared to the year ended July 3, 1999. Men's bottoms continue to be carried
at these two accounts. Three key accounts were lost as a result of the closure
of Uptons, Inc. (a subsidiary of American Retail Group, Inc.) and the
acquisition of Mercantile Stores Company, Inc. by other key accounts, including
Dillard's, Inc. Dillard's, Inc. made the decision to discontinue from its
merchandise mix any brands (such as the Duck Head brand) that are prominently
featured by certain of Dillard's, Inc.'s competitors. During the year ended
July 1, 2000 there were no sales to Uptons, Inc., Mercantile Stores Company,
Inc. or Dillard's, Inc., while sales during the year ended July 3, 1999 to
these three accounts were $3.9 million. Private label sales decreased by $3.0
million during the year ended July 1, 2000 as compared with the year ended July
3, 1999 as certain unprofitable segments of the private label business were
discontinued. Reduced volume at other accounts was due to the reduction of
inventory levels at several key accounts. These reductions reflected a change
in merchandise mix, including a reduction in fashion inventory, which is
delivered in one-shot deliveries, and an increase in core and key item
replenishment inventories which require lower in-stock levels on the retail
floor. Sales returns and allowances were $1.8 million lower in the year ended
July 1, 2000 as compared to the year ended July 3, 1999 as a result of the
reduction or elimination of margin support arrangements with several customers
and the elimination of many seasonal product return arrangements.
The decreases in Duck Head retail store sales resulted from a combination
of a comparable store sales decrease of 4%, fewer stores on the average being
open during the year ended July 1, 2000 as compared with the year ended July 3,
1999 and the year ended July 1, 2000 containing fifty-two weeks as compared to
the year ended July 3, 1999 containing fifty-three weeks.
4
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The comparable store sales decrease accounted for $0.6 million, lower sales due
to fewer stores on the average being open accounted for $0.5 million and the
fewer number of weeks in the year ended July 1, 2000 as compared to the year
ended July 3, 1999 accounted for $0.5 million of the total retail store sales
decrease during the year ended July 1, 2000, as compared to the year ended July
3, 1999. During the year ended July 1, 2000 Duck Head opened 2 stores late in
the year and did not close any stores, and at July 1, 2000 Duck Head operated
26 retail outlet stores. Duck Head believes that the number of stores currently
open is an appropriate number given the geographic distribution of the "Duck
Head" brand through its current wholesale channels. Duck Head's strategy
continues to include closing poor performing stores, the investigation of new
store openings in better outlet malls in the Southeastern and Southwestern
United States, and the geographic expansion of retail stores to the extent that
wholesale distribution expands outside the Southeastern and Southwestern United
States. Duck Head plans to close two underperforming stores in fiscal year 2001
and open two to three new retail store locations in the middle to later part of
fiscal 2001.
Gross Profit.
Consolidated gross profit and gross profit margin for the year ended July
1, 2000 were $18.0 million and 33.8%, respectively, as compared to $8.2 million
and 11.6%, respectively, for the year ended July 3, 1999, an increase in
consolidated gross profit of 119.5%.
Gross profit was $11.4 million and gross profit margin was 29.8% on
wholesale sales for the year ended July 1, 2000, as compared to $1.8 million
and 3.3%, respectively, for the year ended July 3, 1999. The increase in gross
profit was primarily due to lower provisions for obsolete or slow-moving
inventory, more efficient use of production capacity, lower sales returns and
allowances and a charge in the year ended July 3, 1999 to reduce production
capacity, partially offset by lower sales. Included in gross profit were
provisions for potentially obsolete or slow-moving inventory of $0.8 million
for the year ended July 1, 2000 and $10.2 million for the year ended July 3,
1999, respectively. Inventory is evaluated for potentially obsolete or
slow-moving items based on management's analysis of inventory levels, sales
forecasts and historical sales trends, and additions to cost of sales are
recorded as required. Unfavorable manufacturing variances were $3.0 million
lower in the year ended July 1, 2000 as compared to the year ended July 3,
1999, primarily due to a reduction in fiscal year 1999 of production capacity
which included the closure of one manufacturing facility and the downsizing of
another. A charge of $1.5 million was recorded in the year ended July 3, 1999
associated with this reduction in production capacity. The fiscal year 1999
provision for potentially obsolete or slow-moving inventory was due primarily
to higher levels of excess fashion goods acquired during the year. The company
reduced its production capacity as a result of reduced sales levels and shifts
in product sourcing strategy to take advantage of more favorable product costs
available through outside contractors versus producing in Duck Head's own
facilities.
Gross profit was $6.6 million and gross profit margin was 44.0% on retail
sales for the year ended July 1, 2000 as compared to $6.4 million and 38.7%,
respectively, for the year ended July 3, 1999. This $0.2 million increase in
gross profit was primarily due to higher gross profit margin, partially offset
by lower sales. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to better
gross profit margins in the year ended July 1, 2000 on product produced by Duck
Head and the negative effect on gross profit margins in the year ended July 3,
1999 caused by the liquidation of goods purchased from Duck Head's womenswear
licensee and the closure of a large clearance store. The womenswear license
agreement was terminated during the year ended July 3, 1999 and the remaining
product in Duck Head's retail stores purchased from this licensee were sold at
poor gross profit margins. The inventory at the large clearance store that was
closed was also sold at poor gross profit margins in the year ended July 3,
1999. Duck Head expects the improved gross profit margin to continue.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.
During the year ended July 1, 2000, consolidated selling, general and
administrative expenses were $20.0 million, as compared to $34.0 million during
the year ended July 3, 1999, a decrease of 41.2%. For the year ended July 1,
2000, expenses in this category were 37.5% of net sales as compared to 48.1% of
net sales for the year ended July 3, 1999.
Wholesale selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended
July 1, 2000 decreased by $13.1 million as compared to the year ended July 3,
1999. The dollar decrease was due to reductions in all selling, general and
administrative expense categories, including lower product development costs
and more
5
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
cost-effective marketing programs. Duck Head expects this lower selling,
general and administrative expense level to continue.
Retail selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended
July 1, 2000 declined by $0.9 million as compared to the year ended July 3,
1999. The decrease was primarily due to home office expense reductions and
fewer stores being open on average in the year ended July 1, 2000 as compared
to the year ended July 3, 1999. Duck Head expects this lower selling, general
and administrative expense level to continue.
Impairment Charges.
Wholesale operations recognized impairment charges of $13.7 million
during the year ended July 3, 1999, of which $12.6 million related to the
impairment of goodwill and $1.1 million related to store fixtures taken out of
service. No impairment charges were recorded during the year ended July 1,
2000.
During fiscal year 1999 Duck Head experienced an adverse change in its
business climate. Net sales declined significantly, mainly due to the loss of
two major accounts. At fiscal year end there were excessive levels of unsold
fashion goods, which resulted in a $7.3 million inventory write-down. During
the second quarter of fiscal year 1999, the Duck Head Apparel Company division
was put up for sale by Delta Woodside, which in the third quarter generated
offers significantly below the net book value of the business. Due to the
diminished fair value of Duck Head and the amounts of the recent offers, during
the third fiscal quarter Delta Woodside suspended its efforts to sell the
business and hired new senior management to develop a new business plan and
restructure its operations. At the end of the fourth fiscal quarter, an
additional major account announced its decision to close all of its doors. As a
result of these events, an impairment analysis was completed during the fourth
quarter of fiscal year 1999 and it was determined that an impairment loss
should be recognized. Based upon the offers received for the business and the
continuing decline in sales, Duck Head determined that its goodwill was
impaired by $12.6 million and, accordingly, recognized the impairment loss. The
store fixtures taken out of service during fiscal 1999 related primarily to the
loss of two major accounts.
Operating Losses.
Consolidated operating losses for the year ended July 1, 2000 were $0.2
million, as compared to $39.2 million operating losses for the year ended July
3, 1999.
Wholesale operating losses for the year ended July 1, 2000 were $0.7
million, as compared to operating losses of $38.5 million for the year ended
July 3, 1999. Included in the wholesale operating losses for the year ended
July 1, 2000 was $1.4 million of royalty income on license agreements and a
$0.4 million gain on an insurance settlement. Included in the wholesale
operating losses for the year ended July 3, 1999 was $1.0 of royalty income. No
management fees from Delta Woodside Industries, Inc. were included in the
wholesale operating losses for the year ended July 1, 2000. For the year ended
July 3, 1999, wholesale operating losses included $0.6 million of management
fees from Delta Woodside Industries, Inc.
Primarily as a result of the factors described above, retail operating
income for the year ended July 1, 2000 was $0.5 million, as compared to $0.7
million of operating losses for the year ended July 3, 1999. Retail operating
losses for the year ended July 3, 1999 included $0.2 million of management fees
from Delta Woodside Industries, Inc. No management fees from Delta Woodside
Industries, Inc. were included in the retail operating income for the year
ended July 1, 2000.
Net Interest Expense. For the year ended July 1, 2000 net interest
expense was $7.2 million, as compared to $8.2 million for year ended July 3,
1999. In the later part of the year ended July 1, 2000, pursuant to the
Distribution Agreement to which the Company and Delta Woodside Industries, Inc.
are parties related to the spin-off of the Company by Delta Woodside, the
affiliated debt was contributed to equity or repaid and replaced with
significantly lower levels of third party debt. This decreased the Company's
interest expense. This decrease was partially offset by a higher average
principal balance outstanding on affiliated debt during the year ended July 1,
2000 as compared to the year ended July 3, 1999.
Taxes. The effective tax rate was (0.6)% for both the year ended July 1,
2000 and the year ended July 3, 1999.
Net Loss. Net loss for the year ended July 1, 2000 was $7.4 million, as
compared to $47.7 million for the year ended July 3, 1999. The decreased loss
was due to the factors described above.
Inventories. Inventories decreased to $17.8 million at July 1, 2000 from
$24.7 million at July 3, 1999, a decrease of $6.9 million or 27.9%. The net
decrease in inventories reflects decreases in all categories of inventory. This
decrease was due to

Duck Head's inventory control strategy which includes aggressive sales of
close-out inventories and reductions in the production levels at Duck Head's
own sewing facility.
Fiscal year 1999 versus fiscal year 1998
Net Sales.
Consolidated net sales for the year ended July 3, 1999 totaled $70.6
million, as compared to $84.0 million for the year ended June 27, 1998, a
decrease of 16%. A summary of Duck Head's net sales for the years ended July 3,
1999 and June 27, 1998 follows:
Net Sales (in millions)
Wholesale Retail Total
----------- ------------ ------------
Fiscal year 1999 ($) 54.1 16.5 70.6
Fiscal year 1998 ($) 64.0 20.0 84.0
(Decrease)($) ( 9.9) ( 3.5) (13.4)
Percent (decrease) (15.5%) (17.5%) (16.0%)
The decrease in wholesale sales dollars reflected a decrease in unit
shipments and was primarily due to the loss of two key accounts and higher
returns and allowances. The loss of key accounts was the result of the
acquisition of Mercantile Stores Company, Inc. by other key accounts, including
Dillard's, Inc. Dillard's, Inc. made the decision to discontinue from its
merchandise mix any brands (such as the Duck Head brand) that are prominently
featured by certain of Dillard's, Inc.'s competitors. Sales in fiscal year 1999
to Mercantile Stores Company, Inc. and Dillard's, Inc. were $2.6 million
compared to fiscal 1998 sales of $8.4 million. Higher returns and allowances
were due to increased levels of returns primarily related to arrangements with
several customers to return basic pants and replace them with basic shorts
during the spring season and to return basic shorts and replace them with basic
pants during the fall season, deductions taken by customers due to not adhering
to customer routing guide instructions and gross margin assistance given to
customers under gross margin support agreements. The majority of the gross
margin assistance was related to poor retail margins on Duck Head fashion
products.
The decreases in Duck Head retail store sales resulted from a combination
of a comparable store sales decrease of 2% and fewer stores being open in Duck
Head's fiscal year 1999 as compared with its fiscal year 1998. The comparable
store sales decrease accounted for $0.4 million and lower sales due to fewer
stores being open accounted for $3.1 million, respectively, of the total retail
store sales decrease during fiscal year 1999 as compared to fiscal year 1998.
During 1999, Duck Head opened 2 stores and closed 7 stores. At July 3, 1999,
Duck Head operated 24 retail outlet stores. The net reduction in the number of
stores was the result of the continuation of Duck Head's strategy to close
unprofitable stores, to reduce the total number of outlet stores and to open
new stores in better outlet centers.
Gross Profit.
Consolidated gross profit and gross profit margin for the year ended July
3, 1999 were $8.2 million and 11.6%, respectively, as compared to $26.9 million
and 32.0%, respectively, for the year ended June 27, 1998, a decrease in
consolidated gross profit of 69.5%.
Gross profit and gross profit margin on wholesale sales for the year
ended July 3, 1999 were $1.8 million and 3.3% respectively, as compared to
$18.8 million and 29.3%, respectively, for the year ended June 27, 1998. The
$17.0 million decrease in gross profit was primarily due to provisions for
potentially obsolete or slow-moving inventory of $10.2 million being recorded
for the year ended July 3, 1999 as compared to $0.7 million being recorded for
the year ended June 27, 1998, lower sales volume, higher returns and allowances
and charges totaling $1.5 million to reduce production capacity including the
closure of one manufacturing facility and the downsizing of another. Fiscal
year 1998 included a $0.6 million charge related to the closing of two of Duck
Head's sewing facilities in Costa Rica. The decrease in gross profit margin was
primarily due to the higher provision for potentially obsolete or slow-moving
inventory, higher returns and allowances and charges taken to reduce production
capacity.
Gross profit and gross profit margin on retail sales for the year ended
July 3, 1999 were $6.4 million and 38.7% respectively, as compared to $8.1
million and 40.6%, respectively, for the year ended June 27, 1998. This $1.7
million decrease in gross profit was due to lower sales and a decrease in gross
profit margin. The decrease in gross profit margin was due to the percentage of
goods purchased from Duck Head licensees, which are generally sold at lower
gross profit margins, being a higher percentage of total sales in fiscal 1999
than they were in fiscal 1998 and a $0.2 million provision taken on potentially
slow-moving inventory.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.
During the year ended July 3, 1999, consolidated selling, general and
administrative expenses were $34.0 million, as compared to $29.0 million during
the year ended June 27, 1998, an increase of 17%. For the year ended July 3,
1999, expenses in this category were 48.1% of net sales as compared to 34.5% of
net sales for the year ended June 27, 1998.
Wholesale selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended
July 3, 1999 increased by $7.9 million as compared to the year ended June 27,
1998. This increase was primarily due to $3.9 million of increased marketing
expenses, $1.6 million of additional amortization of in-store shops and of
certain computer equipment as a result of the shortening of the expected future
useful lives of these assets to reflect business conditions and technological
changes, a $1.2 million charge to write-off fixtures that were abandoned or no
longer in service primarily due to lost accounts, and increased administrative
costs. The increase in marketing expenses was primarily the result of a heavy
consumer marketing campaign. The results of this advertising campaign were not
considered successful and Duck Head has since reduced its expenditures of this
nature to a level it considers more reasonable based on current sales levels.
Duck Head has also reduced selling, general and administrative expenses in
other categories which Duck Head believes will result in expenses of this
nature in the foreseeable future being lower than the fiscal year 1999 or
fiscal 1998 levels.
Retail selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended
July 3, 1999 declined by $2.9 million as compared to the year ended June 27,
1998. The decrease was primarily due to the closing of several stores during
fiscal years 1998 and 1999. The stores that were closed generally had higher
selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales than the
stores that have remained opened. The year ended June 27, 1998 included $0.9
million of charges related primarily to the closing of retail outlet stores.
Impairment Charges.
Wholesale operations recognized impairment charges of $13.7 million
during the year ended July 3, 1999, of which $12.6 million related to the
impairment of goodwill and $1.1 million related to store fixtures taken out of
service. No impairment charges were recorded during the year ended June 27,
1998.
Operating Losses.
Consolidated operating losses for the year ended July 3, 1999 were $39.2
million, as compared to $1.3 million of operating losses for the year ended
June 27, 1998.
Wholesale operating losses for the year ended July 3, 1999 were $38.5
million, as compared to $0.1 million of operating losses for the year ended
June 27, 1998. The wholesale operating losses include other income of $1.0
million in fiscal year 1999 and $1.7 million in fiscal year 1998, respectively,
primarily related to royalties on the license of the Duck Head brand. The
decrease in royalty income was due to fewer licenses being active in fiscal
year 1999 and reduced royalties from one licensee due to the licensee's filing
for protection under the US bankruptcy code during fiscal year 1999.
As a result of the factors described above, retail operating losses for
the year ended July 3, 1999 were $0.7 million, as compared to $1.2 million of
operating losses for the year ended June 27, 1998.
Net Interest Expense. For the year ended July 3, 1999, net interest
expense was $8.2 million, as compared to $7.0 million for the year ended June
27, 1998. The increase in interest expense was primarily a result of the higher
average principal balance outstanding on affiliated debt.
Taxes. The effective tax rate for the year ended July 3, 1999 was (0.6)%
as compared to the (1.9)% effective tax rate for the year ended June 27, 1998.
The higher tax rate for fiscal 1998 was primarily due to the different effects
that permanent non-deductible tax items had on the pre-tax losses in fiscal
1998, as compared to the effect on pre-tax losses in fiscal 1999.
Net Loss. Net loss for the year ended July 3, 1999, was $47.7 million, as
compared to $8.4 million for the year ended June 27, 1998. The increased loss
was due to the factors described above.
Inventories. Inventories decreased to $24.7 million at the end of fiscal
year 1999, from $28.3 million at the end of fiscal year 1998, a decrease of
$3.6 million. This net decrease in inventories is primarily due to the
following:
o A $5.0 million increase in inventory reserves, primarily due to higher
levels of fashion goods in excess of anticipated in-season sales;
o A $2.9 million decrease in older obsolete inventory (primarily fashion
goods from fiscal year 1997 and earlier)
8
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
from $3.7 million at the end of fiscal year 1998 to $0.8 million at
the end of fiscal year 1999;
o A $1.9 million decrease in inventory in Duck Head's retail stores from
$3.9 million at the end of fiscal year 1998 to $2.0 million at the end
of fiscal year 1999; this decrease was due to fewer stores being open
at the end of fiscal year 1999 than there were at the end of fiscal
year 1998 and to lower inventory levels in the stores that were open at
the end of fiscal year 1999; and
o A $1.1 million decrease in work in process inventory from $3.6 million
at the end of fiscal year 1998 to $2.5 million at the end of fiscal
year 1999, which reduction is related to lower production levels as
part of the inventory reduction program;
partially offset by the following:
o A $6.6 million increase in both recent season closeouts and in active
inventory from $20.7 million at the end of fiscal year 1998 to $27.3
million at the end of fiscal year 1999; and
o An increase in raw materials of $0.8 million.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Until May 2000 and in fiscal years 1999 and 1998, Duck Head's source of
liquidity and capital was the informal borrowing arrangement it had with its
parent company, Delta Woodside. As funds were needed, the affiliated debt was
increased, and as funds were generated, the affiliated debt was decreased.
Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement among Delta Woodside, Duck Head
and Delta Apparel, Inc., a Georgia corporation ("Delta Apparel"), the following
transactions, among others, were completed in May 2000:
(a) Delta Woodside and its subsidiaries (other than Delta Mills)
contributed, as contributions to capital, all net debt amounts owed to
any of them by the corporations that had been conducting the Duck Head
Apparel Company division's business, with certain exceptions. These
intercompany contributions of debt did not, however, affect any
obligation that Delta Woodside, Duck Head or Delta Apparel may have
under the Distribution Agreement or the tax sharing agreement (the
"Tax Sharing Agreement") among Delta Woodside, Duck Head and Delta
Apparel. Prior to completion of the Intercompany Reorganization, the
Duck Head Apparel Company division's assets were owned by Delta
Woodside and several of its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
(b) All the assets used in the operations of the Duck Head Apparel Company
division's business were transferred to Duck Head or a subsidiary of
Duck Head to the extent not already owned by Duck Head or its
subsidiaries.
(c) Duck Head assumed all of the liabilities of the Duck Head Apparel
Company division of Delta Woodside, and caused all holders of
indebtedness for borrowed money that were part of the assumed Duck
Head liabilities and all lessors of leases that were part of the
assumed Duck Head liabilities to agree to look only to Duck Head or a
subsidiary of Duck Head for payment of that indebtedness or lease
(except where Delta Woodside or Delta Apparel, as applicable,
consented to not being released from the obligations).
As a result of this action, Duck Head no longer owes any amounts to Delta
Woodside, other than as specifically provided in the Distribution Agreement or
the Tax Sharing Agreement.
Also in connection with the spin-off by Delta Woodside of Duck Head, Duck
Head entered into the following financing arrangements:
o Duck Head entered into a credit agreement with a lending institution,
under which the lender provided Duck Head with a term loan in the
approximate amount of $5.8 million and a 3-year $15 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. Duck Head granted the
lender a first mortgage lien on or security interest in substantially
all of its assets.
o The credit agreement contains limitations on, or prohibitions of, cash
dividends, stock purchases, related party transactions, mergers,
acquisitions, sales of assets, indebtedness and investments.
o Principal of the term loan will be repaid in monthly installments of
principal based on a 72 month amortization, with payment of all
outstanding principal and interest required upon earlier termination
of the credit facility. At July 1, 2000, $5.6 million was outstanding
under the term loan at a weighted interest rate of 9.81%.
9
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o Under the revolving credit facility, Duck Head is able to borrow up to
$15 million (including a $10 million letter of credit subfacility)
subject to borrowing base limitations based on accounts receivable and
inventory levels. At July 1, 2000, Duck Head had no loans outstanding
and had approximately $11.6 million of borrowings available to it
under this revolving credit facility.
Duck Head's operating activities resulted in $2.4 million of cash
provided in fiscal year 2000 as compared to $16.0 million and $5.8 million of
net cash used in fiscal years 1999 and 1998, respectively. The cash provided in
fiscal 2000 was primarily the result of reductions in inventories and
receivables and was after the charge of $6.7 million of interest due to Delta
Woodside on affiliated debt. The uses of cash in fiscal years 1999 and 1998
were primarily associated with net losses incurred in each of these years.
These net losses included interest charges on the affiliated debt of $7.3
million and $6.3 million, respectively.
Capital expenditures of $2.7 million were made in the year ended July 1,
2000, as compared to $2.4 million and $8.0 million of capital expenditures
during fiscal years 1999 and 1998, respectively. The expenditures in the year
ended July 1, 2000 included $1.4 million for the purchase of distribution and
office equipment that had previously been leased under an operating lease.
Other expenditures during the year ended July 1, 2000 and expenditures for
fiscal years 1999 and 1998 were primarily for fixtures for in-store shops and
focal areas placed in major retailers and hardware and software related to Duck
Head's information technology programs. Fiscal 1998 capital expenditures
contained the primary rollout of the in-store fixture program. Duck Head
expects fiscal 2001 capital expenditures, primarily for in-store fixtures and
hardware and software, to approximate $1.4 million.
Duck Head operates a distribution facility and a small manufacturing
repair unit in Winder, Georgia and a leased sewing and finishing plant in Costa
Rica. At 2000, 1999 and 1998 fiscal year ends, Duck Head's long-lived assets in
Costa Rica comprised 5.1%, 4.3% and 6.3%, respectively, of Duck Head's total
net property, plant and equipment.
Typically, Duck Head's peak borrowing needs are in the third fiscal
quarter. When Duck Head entered into its new credit facility, it owed amounts
to the lender on Delta Woodside's existing credit facility or to Delta Woodside
for certain borrowings made to fund Duck Head's needs after January 1, 2000.
These borrowings were refinanced by proceeds of Duck Head's new credit
facility.
As Duck Head shifts its sourcing strategy to more package goods and less
internally manufactured and contracted goods, Duck Head will be required to
provide its suppliers with more letters of credit. Duck Head expects that its
peak borrowing needs for working capital purposes, including use of its credit
facility for letters of credit, will be approximately $4.5 million in fiscal
2001. Approximately forty percent of the face amount of outstanding documentary
letters of credit will reduce the amount available under the revolving credit
facility for working capital loans.
Based on these expectations, Duck Head believes that its $15 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
Duck Head's results of operations, however, may result in Duck Head 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 Duck Head's needs.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Sensitivity
Duck Head's credit agreement provides that the interest rate on
outstanding amounts owed shall bear interest at variable rates. An interest
rate increase would have a negative impact on Duck Head to the extent that it
has borrowings outstanding under either its term loan or its revolving line of
credit. If the amounts of outstanding indebtedness at July 1, 2000 under the
term loan were outstanding for the entire year and the interest rate on this
outstanding indebtedness were increased by 1%, Duck Head's expense would be
approximately $56,000 higher than at the current interest rate. 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.
10
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIVIDENDS AND PURCHASES BY DUCK HEAD OF ITS OWN SHARES
Duck Head's ability to pay cash dividends or purchase its own shares will
largely be dependent on Duck Head's earnings, financial condition, capital
requirements, compliance with loan covenants and other relevant factors. Duck
Head's credit agreement permits the payment of cash dividends in an amount up
to 25% of cumulative net income (excluding extraordinary or unusual non-cash
items), provided that no event of default exists or would result from that
payment and after the payment at least $6.0 million remains available under the
revolving credit facility. Duck Head's credit agreement also permits up to an
aggregate of $3.0 million of purchases by Duck Head of its own stock provided
that no event of default exists or would result from that action and after the
purchase at least $6.0 million remains available under the revolving credit
facility.
Duck Head currently anticipates that it will pay no cash dividends to its
stockholders for the foreseeable future. If Duck Head's board of directors
determines at any time that the purchase of its own stock is in the best
interests of its stockholders and that the purchase complies with its loan
covenants, Duck Head may purchase its own shares in the market or in privately
negotiated transactions.

Three Years ended July 1, 2000 (Amounts in thousands, except share data)
(1) Basis of Presentation
Prior to June 30, 2000, Duck Head Apparel Company, Inc. (together with its
predecessors, the "Company") was a wholly owned subsidiary of Delta Woodside
Industries, Inc. ("Delta Woodside" or the "Parent"). In connection with a plan
to separate its two apparel businesses, Delta Woodside transferred to the
Company the assets, liabilities, and operations of its apparel business
previously conducted by the following divisions or subsidiaries of Delta
Woodside: Duck Head Apparel Company, Duck Head Outlet Stores, Private Label,
International Apparel Marketing Corporation, and Duck Head Marketing Company
(collectively the "Predecessor Operations"). Effective June 30, 2000, Delta
Woodside distributed all the common stock of the Company to the Delta Woodside
stockholders (the "Distribution"). 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 accompanying financial statements for periods prior to the
Distribution reflect the operations and accounts of the Predecessor Operations
and are for periods when the Company did not operate as a separate stand-alone
company.
The following balance sheet as of July 1, 2000 details the adjustments
made related to the spin-off of Duck Head Apparel Company Inc.

(2) Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Description of Business
The Company sells woven and knit apparel, including the "Duck Head" line
of casual wear, which is marketed primarily in the southeastern and
southwestern United States to department stores and specialty apparel
retailers. The Company operates a manufacturing facility in Central America.
The Company also operates retail apparel outlet stores that sell primarily
closeout and irregular "Duck Head" products. In addition, the Company licenses
various categories of apparel and accessories.
(b) Fiscal Year
The Company's operations are based upon a fifty-two or fifty-three-week
fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to June 30. Fiscal years 2000 and
1998 each consisted of 52 weeks. Fiscal year 1999 consisted of 53 weeks.
(c) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or
market. The Company's management evaluates inventory for potentially obsolete
or slow-moving items based on management's analysis of inventory levels, sales
forecasts and historical sales trends, and records provisions to cost of sales
as required.
(d) Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and
amortization are provided for using the straight-line method over estimated
useful lives of 2 to 20 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the
shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvements.
At the beginning of fiscal 1999, the Company revised its estimate of the
useful lives of certain active store fixtures from five years to two years and
certain computer equipment from five to seven years to two to three years. The
Company also revised salvage values of store fixtures. The reduction in the
useful life of the active store fixtures was based on the actual time these
assets were expected to be in the stores. The reduction in salvage value
reflected actual losses the Company experienced on store fixtures that were
returned, damaged or disposed of by customers. The reduction in the useful life
of the computer equipment reflected current technological changes. These
changes increased the operating loss for 1999 by $2,857.
(e) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles are reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to
be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset
to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets
are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by
the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of
the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying
amount or fair value less costs to sell.
In fiscal 1999, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1,069, which
is reflected in impairment charges in the statement of operations, relating to
store fixtures that were abandoned due to the loss of two of the Company's
major accounts. This loss was determined based on the estimated salvage value
of the store fixture. The loss was reflected in the Company's wholesale
operations segment.
(f) Goodwill
Goodwill, which represented the excess purchase price over net assets
originally acquired, was amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years.
During 1999, the Company experienced an adverse change in its business climate;
and net sales declined significantly mainly due to the loss of two major
accounts. At July 3, 1999, there were excessive levels of unsold fashion goods
which resulted in an additional $7.3 million inventory write-down. Total
inventory write-downs for fiscal 1999 were $10.4 million. In October 1998, the
Company was put up for sale by its Parent, which generated offers significantly
below the net book value of the Company. Due

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(2) Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
to the diminished fair value of the Company, the Parent suspended its efforts
to sell the Company and hired new senior management to develop a new business
plan and restructure its operations. As a result, the Company determined that
an impairment loss should be recognized. Based upon the Company's business plan
for fiscal year 2000 and projected future cash flows for the next ten years,
the assets were determined to be impaired by $12,581 and, accordingly, the
Company recognized the impairment loss in fiscal 1999.
(g) Revenue Recognition
Sales are recorded upon shipment. The Company estimates merchandise
returns based on historical returns as a percent of sales which is applied to
current accounts receivable. The Company computes allowances for markdowns
based on actual margins incurred by customers. Royalty income is recorded when
earned.
(h) Related Party Transactions
Until mid-May 2000, the Company participated in a cash management system
maintained by Delta Woodside. Under this system, excess cash was forwarded to
Delta Woodside each day, reducing the due to Parent, and cash requirements were
funded daily by Delta Woodside, increasing the current due to Parent. Interest
was charged on loan payable balances to Delta Woodside based on the
weighted-average cost of Delta Woodside's borrowings. In addition, Delta
Woodside billed the Company each month for charges related to group health
insurance, tax payments and payments for the Company's benefit. After mid-May,
the Company established its own cash management system with cash requirements
funded by an unrelated lender.
(i) Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a
change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date.
The Company's operations were included in the consolidated Federal tax
return of Delta Woodside. Under the tax sharing agreement, the allocation of
tax liabilities and benefits is as follows:
-- With respect to federal income taxes:
(a) For each taxable year ending July 3, 1999 and prior, Delta Woodside
shall be responsible for paying any increase in federal income
taxes, and shall be entitled to receive the benefit of any refund
of or saving in federal income taxes, that results from any tax
proceeding with respect to any returns relating to federal income
taxes of the Delta Woodside consolidated federal income tax group.
(b) For the taxable period ending July 1, 2000, Delta Woodside shall be
responsible for paying any federal income taxes, and shall be
entitled to any refund of or saving in federal income taxes, with
respect to the Delta Woodside consolidated federal income tax
group.
-- With respect to state income, franchise or similar taxes, for each
taxable year ending July 1, 2000 and prior, each corporation that is a
member of the Delta Woodside tax group, the Duck Head tax group or the
Delta Apparel tax group shall be responsible for paying any of those
state taxes, and any increase in those state taxes, and shall be
entitled to receive the benefit of any refund of or saving in those
state taxes, with respect to that corporation (or any predecessor by
merger of that corporation) or that results from any tax proceeding
with respect to any returns relating to those state taxes of that
corporation (or any predecessor by merger of that corporation)

(j) Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were $3,312
in fiscal 2000, $7,128 in fiscal 1999 and $3,229 in fiscal 1998.
(k) Computation of Pro Forma Net Loss Per Share
Pro forma net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the
weighted-average common shares outstanding assuming that shares distributed in
the Distribution were outstanding the entire year. The weighted-average shares
do not include securities that would be anti-dilutive for each of the periods
presented.
(l) Use of Estimates
Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions
relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
(m) Stock Option Plan
The Company applies the intrinsic value-based method of accounting
prescribed by Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, in accounting for
its fixed plan stock options. As such, compensation expense would be recorded
on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock
exceeded the exercise price. SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, established accounting and disclosure requirements using a fair
value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans.
As allowed by SFAS No. 123, the Company has elected to continue to apply the
intrinsic value-based method of accounting described above, and has adopted the
disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123.
(n) Comprehensive Income (Loss)
No statements of comprehensive income have been included in the
accompanying financial statements since comprehensive income (loss) and net
income (loss) would be the same.
(o) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, which was subsequently deferred by SFAS No.
137 and amended by SFAS No. 138. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments, including derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. SFAS No.
133 is effective for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The
Company does not believe the applicability of SFAS No. 133 will have a material
impact on its financial statements.
On December 31, 1999, the SEC issued SAB No. 101, Revenue Recognition in
Financial Statements. On June 26, 2000, the SEC issued SAB 101B which delays
the implementation date of SAB 101 to the fourth quarter of 2000. The Company
does not believe the applicability of SAB 101 will have a material impact on
its financial statements.
In April 2000, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for
Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation ("FIN 44") which contains
rules designed to clarify the application of APB Opinion No. 25. FIN 44 is
effective July 1, 2000 and has been applied by the Company.

In May 2000, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a lending
institution, under which the lender has provided the Company with a $5.8
million term loan and a three-year $15.0 million revolving credit facility. All
loans under the credit agreement will bear interest at rates based on an
adjusted LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin or the bank's prime rate plus an
applicable margin. The Company has granted the lender a first mortgage lien on
or security interests in substantially all of its assets.
The credit agreement contains limitations on, or prohibitions of, cash
dividends, stock purchases, related party transactions, mergers, acquisitions,
sales of assets, indebtedness and investments.
Principal of the term loan will be repaid in monthly installments of
principal based on a 72-month amortization, with a payment of all outstanding
principal and interest required upon the earlier termination of the credit
facility.
Under the revolving credit facility, the Company is able to borrow up to
$15.0 million (including a $10.0 million letter of credit subfacility) subject
to borrowing base limitations based on the accounts receivable and inventory
levels. The Company had no borrowings under the revolving credit facility at
July 1, 2000.
The aggregate maturities of long-term debt are as follows:

(7) Income Taxes
The Company reports Federal income taxes in the consolidated return of
Delta Woodside and had taxable losses of $14 million which will be reported in
the fiscal 2000 consolidated Federal income tax return of Delta Woodside. The
Federal income tax obligation or refund under the corporate tax-sharing
arrangement that is allocated to the Company is substantially determined as if
the Company was filing a separate Federal income tax return. Until mid-May
2000, the Company's Federal tax liability or receivable was paid to or was
received from Delta Woodside. As a result of the Distribution, the Company will
not be included in the consolidated tax returns of Delta Woodside in future
years.

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of July 1, 2000 and
July 3, 1999 was $5,697 and $9,973, respectively. The net change in the total
valuation allowance for the year ended July 1, 2000 was a decrease of $4,276.
The Company's gross deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to
net deferred tax assets considered by management to be more likely than not
realizable. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon
the generation of future taxable income during the period in which the
temporary differences become deductible.
As of July 1, 2000, the Company had regular tax loss carryforwards of
approximately $2.1 million for Federal purposes. The Company also has state net
operating loss carryforwards of approximately $18.6 million. These
carryforwards expire at various intervals through 2019.

and 401(k) Plans. On September 27, 1997, the Delta Woodside Industries Employee
Retirement Plan ("Retirement Plan") merged into the Delta Woodside Employee
Savings and Investment Plan ("401(k) Plan"). The Retirement Plan qualified as
an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") under the Internal Revenue Code as a
defined contribution plan. The Company contributed approximately $57, $152, and
$84 to the 401(k) Plan during fiscal 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. The

(10) Employee Benefit Plans (continued)
The Company also participated in a 501(c)(9) trust, the Delta Woodside
Employee Benefit Plan and Trust ("Trust"). The Trust collects both employer and
employee contributions from the Company and makes disbursements for health
claims and other qualified benefits.
Effective with the spin-off transaction, the Company established its own
Retirement and 401(K) Plans, with benefits similar to the Delta Woodside
Retirement Plan.
The Company also participated in the Delta Woodside Industries, Inc.
Incentive Stock Award Plan and Stock Option Plan. Under both Plans, the Company
recognized expenses of approximately $164, $190, and $108 for fiscal years
2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively.
Effective with the spin-off transaction, the Company established the Duck
Head Stock Option Plan (the "Option Plan") and the Duck Head Incentive Stock
Award Plan (the "Award Plan").
Under the Option Plan, the compensation grants committee of the Company's
board of directors will have the discretion to grant options for up to an
aggregate maximum of 500,000 common shares. Participation in the Plan is
limited to key and middle level executives.
Under the Award Plan, the compensation grants committee of the Company's
board of directors will have the discretion to grant awards for up to an
aggregate maximum of 200,000 common shares. The Award Plan authorizes the
compensation grants committee to grant to officers and other key management
employees or the middle level management employees of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries rights to acquire common shares at a cash purchase price of $0.01
per share. Awards may be made to reward past performance or to induce
exceptional future performance.
As of July 1, 2000 the Company has not granted any options or awards under
the Option Plan or Award Plan.
(11) Employment Agreement
The Company has an Employment Agreement ("Agreement") with the chief
executive officer of the Company that provides for the officer's salary and
bonus through March 8, 2001. In addition, the officer will be granted incentive
stock awards under the Award Plan covering the lesser of:
(a) 75,000 common shares, or
(b) Common shares with a value on the date of grant of $200.
These amounts will vest to the extent of 60% of the shares covered thereby
on March 8, 2001, if he is still employed by the Company and to the extent of
up to the remaining 40% of the shares covered thereby if specified performance
criteria through March 31, 2001 are satisfied and he is still employed by the
Company. If the number of common shares covered by the award have a value less
than $200 on the date of grant, the difference between that value and $200,
plus a gross up income tax amount, will be payable in cash by the Company to
the officer, subject to the same vesting criteria.
The officer will also receive options to purchase 125,000 shares under the
Plan, which will vest ratably over the period ending March 8, 2001.
Under a separate agreement, the Company has granted the officer an option
to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company at an average price for which
these shares trade over the first six months after the Distribution. This
option expires six months from the Distribution date.
(12) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company uses financial instruments in the normal course of its
business. The carrying values approximate fair values for financial instruments
that are short-term in nature, such as cash, accounts receivable, accounts
payable and accrued expenses. The Company estimates that the carrying value of
the Company's long-term debt approximates fair value based on the current rates
offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities.

during the same fiscal years, 48%, 46%, and 45%, respectively, of the Company's
sales were made to its five largest customers.
(15) Plant and Store Closure Costs
During the third quarter of fiscal 1998, management adopted a plan to
close several retail outlet stores and to close two plants in Costa Rica. The
closure of the retail outlet stores was completed in the third quarter of
fiscal 1999. The closure of the plants in Costa Rica was completed during the
first quarter of fiscal 1999. Accordingly, during the third quarter of fiscal
