ITEM 1.01   ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

         On January 27, 2005, Delta Mills,  Inc. ("Delta Mills") entered into an
Asset Purchase  Agreement with Gibbs  International,  Inc. ("Gibbs") pursuant to
which Delta Mills agreed to sell to Gibbs its Furman plant,  its Catawba  plant,
its Estes plant (collectively, the "Plants"), a portion of the equipment located
at those Plants, and a portion of the equipment  associated with yarn production
located at its Beattie plant (the  "Equipment") for an aggregate  purchase price
of $7,000,000. The closing of the sale of the Plants and Equipment is subject to
customary closing  conditions.  The closing of the sale of the Plants is further
subject to completion by Gibbs of due diligence  with respect to title,  survey,
and environmental  matters. The closing of the sale of the Equipment is expected
to occur on or prior to February  11,  2005,  and the closing of the sale of the
Plants is expected to occur on or prior to April 12, 2005.

         Also on January 27,  2005,  the Board of  Directors  of Delta  Woodside
Industries,  Inc.  ("Delta  Woodside"),  of which Delta Mills is a  wholly-owned
subsidiary,  upon the recommendation of the Compensation  Committee of the Board
of  Directors of Delta  Woodside  Industries,  Inc.,  adopted a Fiscal Year 2005
Incentive Bonus Plan pursuant to which cash bonuses will,  subject to conditions
set forth in the plan,  be awarded to employees if Delta Mills exceeds a minimum
EBITDA target during fiscal year 2005. If Delta Mills exceeds the minimum EBITDA
target, a bonus pool is established,  the amount of which is calculated based on
varying  portions  of the amount of EBITDA in excess of the  target,  from which
bonus pool the cash bonuses will,  subject to conditions  set forth in the plan,
be paid to employees,  in the  discretion of the  Compensation  Committee of the
Board of Directors of Delta Woodside Industries, Inc.. For purposes of the bonus
plan,  EBITDA will be calculated in accordance  with the definition of that term
set forth in Delta Mills'  Revolving  Credit and Security  Agreement dated as of
March 31, 2000, as amended.
