       Company, Inc. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been
       prepared  pursuant to the rules and  regulations  of the  Securities  and
       Exchange   Commission.   Certain  information  and  footnote  disclosures
       normally  included in financial  statements  prepared in accordance  with
       accounting  principles generally accepted in the U.S. have been condensed
       or omitted  pursuant to such rules and  regulations of the Securities and
       Exchange  Commission  relating to interim  financial  statements.  In the

       of its operations and its cash flows for the three months ended September

       The Company has two reportable segments: Wholesale and Outlet Retail. The
       Company's  reportable  segments are strategic  business  units that offer
       similar products through different  distribution  channels. The Wholesale
       segment designs,  markets,  manufactures,  sources and distributes casual
       wear  and  sportswear  for  men  and  boys  and  licenses  the  Company's
       trademarks for specified products. The Outlet Retail segment operates the
       Company's outlet and clearance stores.

       Summarized  segment  information  as of September 30, 2000 and October 2,
       1999 and for the three  months  ended  September  30, 2000 and October 2,

ITEM 2. 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.  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).
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.

------------------------------- ----------------------- -------------------------- --------------------------
</TABLE>

         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,  and to reduced volume at other  accounts,
which were partially  offset by lower sales returns and allowances.  As a result
of  Duck  Head  reducing  margin  support  agreement  commitments  with  two key
accounts,  those  accounts  chose to reduce the categories of Duck Head product,
namely men's tops and boys'  products,  that they carry.  This  reduction in the
categories of Duck Head product carried by these two key accounts  resulted in a
$2.1 million reduction in sales to these accounts in the first quarter of fiscal
year 2001 as compared with the first quarter of fiscal year 2000.  Men's bottoms
continue to be carried at these two accounts.  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 $0.2 million lower in the
first  quarter of fiscal year 2001 as  compared  to the first  quarter of fiscal
year  2000 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
comparable  store sales  decrease of 8%  partially  offset by more stores on the
average being open during the first quarter of fiscal year 2001 as compared with
the first  quarter of fiscal year 2000.  The  comparable  store  sales  decrease
accounted for $0.3 million while the increase in sales due to more stores on the
average  being open  accounted  for $0.2  million.  During the first  quarter of
fiscal 2001 Duck Head did not open or close any  stores,  and at  September  30,
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 or three new  retail  stores in the  middle to
later part of fiscal 2001.

         Gross Profit

         Consolidated gross profit and gross profit margin for the first quarter
of fiscal year 2001 were $5.1  million and 38.9%,  respectively,  as compared to
$4.9 million and 30.4%, respectively, for the first quarter of fiscal year 2000,
an increase in consolidated gross profit of 4.1%.

         Gross  profit was $3.0  million  and gross  profit  margin was 34.5% on
wholesale  sales for the first  quarter of fiscal year 2001, as compared to $3.0
million and 25.9%, respectively,  for the first quarter of fiscal year 2000. The
increase in gross profit  margin was primarily due to lower product cost and, as
described above, lower sales returns and allowances.  Product costs were reduced
due to better  product  sourcing  arrangements  with domestic  fabric,  offshore
contractors  and offshore  package good vendors and more efficient use of leased
offshore  production  capacity  due to the  completion  of the  downsizing  of a
manufacturing  facility in the first  quarter of fiscal year 2000.  Gross profit
remained flat due to increased  gross profit margin offset by lower sales.  Duck
Head expects the improved gross profit margin to continue.

         Gross  profit was $2.1  million  and gross  profit  margin was 47.7% on
retail  sales for the first  quarter  of fiscal  year 2001 as  compared  to $1.9
million and 42.2%, respectively, for the first quarter of fiscal year 2000. This
$0.2 million  increase in gross profit was  primarily due to higher gross profit
margins,  partially  offset by lower sales.  The increase in gross profit margin
was primarily due to better margins in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 on goods
produced  by Duck Head.  In  addition,  gross  profit  margins  were  negatively
affected  during the first  quarter of fiscal  year 2000 by the  liquidation  of
goods purchased from Duck Head's  womenswear  licensee.  The womenswear  license
agreement was terminated  during fiscal year 1999 and the remaining  products in
Duck Head's retail stores  purchased  from this licensee were sold at poor gross
profit margins. Duck Head expects the improved gross profit margin to continue.

         Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

         During the first  quarter of fiscal  year 2001,  consolidated  selling,
general  and  administrative  expenses  were $4.8  million,  as compared to $5.3
million  during the first  quarter of fiscal year 2000, a decrease of 9.4%.  For
the first  quarter of fiscal year 2001,  expenses in this category were 36.6% of
net sales as compared to 32.9% of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal year
2000.

         Wholesale selling,  general and  administrative  expenses for the first
quarter of fiscal year 2001  decreased  by $0.6 million as compared to the first
quarter of fiscal year 2000. The dollar decrease was primarily due to reductions
in marketing,  product development and distribution expenses.  Duck Head expects
this lower selling, general and administrative expense level to continue.

         Retail  selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  for the first
quarter of fiscal year 2001  increased  by $0.1 million as compared to the first
quarter of fiscal year 2000.  The increase was primarily  due to higher  selling
costs due to more  stores  being  open on average  during  the first  quarter of
fiscal  year 2001 as  compared  to the first  quarter of fiscal  2000  partially
offset by lower home office costs.  Based on the current number of stores,  Duck
Head  expects  this new  level of retail  selling,  general  and  administrative
expenses to continue.

         Operating Income

         Consolidated  operating  income for the first  quarter  of fiscal  year
2001 was $0.7 million, as  compared  to $0.4  million  operating income  for the
first quarter of fiscal year 2000.

         Wholesale  operating  income for the first  quarter of fiscal year 2001
was $0.3  million,  as  compared  to  operating  losses of $50,000 for the first
quarter of fiscal year 2000.  Included in the wholesale operating income for the
first  quarter  of  fiscal  year  2001 and in the  operating  loss for the first
quarter  of fiscal  year 2000 was $0.4  million  of  royalty  income on  license
agreements.  The first  quarter of fiscal year 2000 also included a $0.4 million
gain on an insurance settlement.

         Primarily as a result of the factors described above,  retail operating
income  for the  first  quarter  of both  fiscal  years  2001  and 2000 was $0.4
million.

         Net Interest  Expense.  For the first quarter of fiscal year 2001,  net
interest  expense was $0.2  million,  as compared to $2.1  million for the first
quarter of fiscal year 2000. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 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.

                                       8

         Taxes.  The  effective tax rate was 4.9% expense on a pretax profit for
the first quarter of fiscal year 2001 as compared to (0.1)%  expense on a pretax
loss for the first quarter of fiscal year 2000. The tax expense in both quarters
represents various state minimum alternative taxing systems.

         Net Income/ Loss.  Net income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2001
was $0.5  million,  as  compared  to a net loss of $1.8  million  for the  first
quarter of fiscal year 2000. The  improvement  was due to the factors  described
above.

         Inventories.  Inventories  decreased to $14.3  million at September 30,
2000 from $17.8  million at July 1, 2000,  a decrease of $3.5  million or 19.7%.
The decrease in  inventories  reflects  decreases in finished  goods and work in
process  inventories  offset by  increases  in raw  material  inventories.  This
overall  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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         At September 30, 2000, $5.4 million was  outstanding  under Duck Head's
term loan at a weighted interest rate of 9.28%. At September 30, 2000, Duck Head
had $0.1 of loans outstanding and had  approximately  $9.6 million of borrowings
available to it under its revolving credit facility.

         Duck  Head's  operating  activities  resulted  in $1.7  million of cash
provided  during  the first  quarter  of fiscal  year 2001 as  compared  to $3.3
million of cash provided  during the first quarter of fiscal year 2000. The cash
provided in the first  quarter of both fiscal year 2001 and fiscal year 2000 was
primarily the result of reductions in inventories  partially offset by increases
in accounts receivable.

         Capital  expenditures of $0.3 million were made in the first quarter of
fiscal  year 2001,  as compared  to $14,000 of capital  expenditures  during the
first  quarter of fiscal year 2000.  The  expenditures  in the first  quarter of
fiscal year 2001 were  primarily for fixtures for in-store shops and focal areas
placed in major  retailers and for hardware and software  related to Duck Head's
information technology programs.


ITEM 3.  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. Based on the amount of Duck Head's indebtedness during the first quarter
of fiscal 2001, if the interest rate on this  outstanding  indebtedness had been
increased by 1%, Duck Head's interest expense during the quarter would have been
approximately  $16,000 higher than the actual  expense.  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.

ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         On October 24, 2000,  the Company  filed a lawsuit in the United States
Federal  District Court for the Northern  District of Georgia  against Bettis C.
Rainsford and Talmadge  Knight  alleging that Messrs.  Rainsford and Knight have
violated  Section 13(d) of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange  Act"),  and rules  promulgated  thereunder  by,  among other  things,
failing to disclose  that Messrs.  Rainsford and Knight are and have been acting
as a "group"  under  the  federal  securities  laws and by  failing  to make the
appropriate filings under Section 13(d) disclosing the actions and intentions of
the  Rainsford-Knight  group. The lawsuit requests that the Court enter an order
against  Messrs.  Rainsford and Knight  finding that they have violated  Section
13(d) of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated  thereunder and ordering them to
make the required  filings and  disclosures  and for such other relief as may be
appropriate.
