BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTS
On August 17, 2006, we signed an asset purchase agreement to acquiredesigning, manufacturing, marketing, and selling private labeled knitted custom t-shirts (the “FunTees Acquisition”). The assets acquired included substantially all of the netequipment, inventories, and accounts receivable of the FunTees business. The aggregate consideration paid for substantially all of the assets of privately held Fun-Tees,FunTees, Inc. (“Fun-Tees”). The acquisition is expected to close on or around Monday, October 2, 2006, subject to the satisfaction of various closing conditions. The purchase price for the transaction is $20was $21.8 million in cash, subject to certain post-closing adjustments, includingconsisting of $20.0 million paid at closing and an additional $1.8 million paid on April 12, 2007 as an adjustment based onfor the actual working capital purchased.
We expect to financefunded the purchaseFunTees Acquisition through an amendment todraws under our asset-based secured revolving credit facility. The agreement can be terminated under various circumstances, including, among others, by us if we are unablefacility, which was amended in conjunction with the FunTees Acquisition. Pursuant to obtain satisfactory financingthe amendment, Wachovia, N.A. consented to the acquisition of FunTees and by either party if the transaction fails to close by October 31, 2006.assets of FunTees were included as collateral on the loan.
Fun-Tees,FunTees, Inc. iswas founded in 1972 and was headquartered in Concord, North Carolina. We integrated the businessFunTees textile operations into our Maiden, North Carolina facility during fiscal year 2007 and have maintained the FunTees off-shore cutting, sewing and decorating facilities located in El Salvador and Campeche, Mexico. FunTees, a division of designing, manufacturing, marketing,our Delta Activewear Apparel segment, designs, manufactures, markets, and sellingsells private labeled custom knit t-shirts primarily to major branded sportswear companies. We believe that the strength of Fun-TeesFunTees is its flexibility to custom-manufacture products in a variety of garment styles, fabrics and colors. Fun-Tees was foundedcolors and its ability to decorate and package products for retail in 1972 and is headquartered in Concord, North Carolina. We expect to integrateits offshore facilities.
In connection with the Fun-Teesintegration of the textile operations of the FunTees business into our Maiden, North Carolina textile facility, duringin our fourth fiscal year 2007quarter we expensed start-up and excess manufacturing costs totaling $5.4 million, or $0.40 per diluted share. The integration is essentially complete and therefore we do not anticipate any further significant charges related to maintain the Fun-Tees off-shore cutting, sewing and decorating facilities located in El Salvador and Campeche, Mexico.
We have also begun our offshore textile manufacturing initiative in which we plan to open Ceiba Textiles, a state-of-the-art facility located in the Green Valley Industrial Park in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. The facility will knit, dye, finish, cut and sew fabrics into apparel, primarily for the Activewear segment of our business. We expect the facility will be completed during fiscal year 2007 and production will begin during the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. Production levels are expected to build to 500,000 pounds per week during fiscal year 2008 and increase to one million pounds per weekit in fiscal year 2009. We expect the total capital investment in Ceiba Textiles will be approximately $25 million, which includes the cost of constructing the building, which we plan to lease from the Green Valley Industrial Park. In addition to transferring some of our existing equipment from the United States to Honduras, we expect to invest approximately $15 million over the next three years in new equipment for the facility. The new capital is expected to be financed through a local Honduran bank.2008.

Soffe Co during annual periods beginning on September 28, 2003 and ending on September 30, 2006 (the “Earnout Amounts”). In fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005 we paid approximately $2.3 million, $1.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively in Earnout Amounts.
Offshore Textiles

We expect production to begin during the second quarter of fiscal year 2008 and anticipate reaching 500,000 pounds of production per week by our fourth fiscal quarter. We will continue to increase production levels at the facility, and believe we can produce around a million pounds per week level by the second half of fiscal year 2009.

Closing of Fayette, Alabama Operations
On July 18, 2007, we announced plans to restructure our U. S. textile operations by closing our manufacturing facility in Fayette, Alabama. We are continuing production in the facility during the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, but anticipate production to cease by the end of September. The restructuring will leave us with two remaining U.S. textile operations, one located in Maiden, North Carolina and the other in Fayetteville, North Carolina. During our fourth fiscal quarter of 2007 we took a $1.5 million impairment charge, or $0.11 per diluted share, related to the reduction of textile operations in the U.S. We anticipate incurring costs of approximately $0.8 million, or approximately $0.06 per diluted share, associated with the closing of the Fayette, Alabama facility in the first quarter of fiscal 2008.
BUSINESS SEGMENTS
We operate our business in two distinct segments: Activewear Apparel and Retail-Ready Apparel. Although the two segments are similar in their production processes and regulatory environment, they are distinct in their economic characteristics, products and distribution methods.
The Activewear Apparel segment comprisesconsists of our business units primarily focused on garment styles that are characterized by low fashion risk. We market, distribute and manufacture unembellished knit apparel under the brands of “Delta Pro Weight®Weight®”, “Delta Magnum Weight™” and “Quail Hollow™.” The products are primarily sold to screen printing companies. In addition, we manufacture products under private labels for retailers, branded sportswear companies, corporate industry programs and sports licensed apparel marketers. The custom knit unembellished and embellished private label apparel products that Fun-Tees manufactures will bein the FunTees business are included in the Activewear Apparel segment upon acquisition.since the Fun-Tees Acquisition on October 2, 2006.
The Retail-Ready Apparel segment comprisesconsists of our business units primarily focused on more specialized apparel garments to meet consumer preferences and fashion trends. TheseWe sell these embellished and unembellished products are sold through specialty and boutique stores, high-end and mid-tier retail stores and sporting goods stores. In addition to these retail channels, we also supply college bookstores and produce products for the U.S. Military.

See Note 14 of the Notes to Financial Statements for financial information regarding segment reporting, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
PRODUCTS

Our Activewear Apparel segment markets high quality knit apparel garments for the entire family.

Quail Hollow also offers a trendy slim fitting tee for all adults. New for the 2008 line is an ultra soft Ringspun tee line for the whole family. Through the acquisition of FunTees, we have increased our business of designing, manufacturing, marketing, and selling private labeled custom knit t-shirts, including embellished products, primarily to major branded sportswear companies. Also with FunTees we have added full retail put-up capabilities, meaning the ability to provide our customers with a product that they can direct ship to the retailer without further packaging enhancements (hangers, tags, wrappings).
Our Retail-Ready Apparel segment designs and produces shorts, T-shirts,t-shirts, jersey and fleece apparel that are available in a wide variety of colors and sizes, including toddlers, boys’, girls’, men’s, women’s and big & tall.

The Junkfood®Junkfood® product line, including Junk Mail® and Sweet and Sour®Sour®, has experienced significant growth over the last several years through itsdistinct and innovative designs and style.styles.

Dri-release™ is a microblend performance fiber that is engineered to offer cotton-like comfort with quick dry properties to wick perspiration away from the skin. Our recent additions to this line include the new Soffe performance apparel line offering WicAway fabrics, a new fabric with quick-drying properties.

MARKETING
Our marketing is performed by both employed sales personnel and independent sales representatives located throughout the country. Our sales force services the retail direct, sporting goods, military, private label, department store and college bookstore customer bases. During fiscal year 2006,2007, we served approximately 15,00016,000 customers. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of our sales in fiscal years 2007, 2006 2005 or 2004.2005. Part of our strategy is not to become dependent on any single customer. Substantially all of our revenues for the past three fiscal years have been generated from domestic sales. With the acquisition of Junkfood Clothing, we hope to expandhave expanded our international presence in Canada, Europe, and Asia and expectAustralia and hope our international sales couldcan become a larger portion of our revenue in future years. Revenue attributable to foreign countries are approximately 1% or less of consolidated net revenue for fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005.
The majority of our knit apparel products are produced based on forecasts to permit quick shipment and to level production schedules. Specialty knit apparel products and private label knit apparel styles are generally made only to order. Some customers place multi-month orders and request shipment at their discretion. We offer same-day shipping inon our catalog goods within our Activewear Apparel segment and both segments use third party carriers to ship products to our customers. In order to better serve our customers, we allow our customers to order products by the piece, by the dozen, or in full case quantities. As a significant portion of our business consists of at-once EDI orders and direct catalog orders, we believe that backlog order levels do not give a general indication of future sales.
Our sales reflect some seasonality, with sales during our first and fourth fiscal quarters generally being the highest, and sales during our second fiscal quarter generally being the lowest. The apparel industry is characterized by rapid shifts in fashion, consumer demand and competitive pressures, resulting in both price and demand volatility. The demand for any particular product varies from time to time based largely upon changes in consumer preferences and general economic conditions affecting the apparel industry, such as consumer expenditures for non-durable goods.
MANUFACTURING
We knit, dye, finish and cut our fabric in company-owned plants located in Fayette, Alabama, Maiden, North Carolina, and Fayetteville, North Carolina. Our garments are primarily sewn in our company-owned plants in Fayetteville, North Carolina, and Rowland, North Carolina, in a leased facility in La Paz, El Salvador, in two leased facilities in Campeche, Mexico and in two leased facilities in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. At the 2007, 2006 2005 and 20042005 fiscal year ends, our long-lived assets in Honduras, El Salvador and Mexico collectively comprised 5.2%27.3%, 6.2%5.2% and 7.9%6.2%, respectively, of our total net property, plant and equipment. In addition, duringAt the past three2007, 2006 and 2005 fiscal years, garments were sewn throughyear ends, our joint venturelong-lived assets in Costa Rica. Our joint venture in Costa Rica wasHonduras comprised 18.9%, 2.4% and 2.4%, respectively, of a 50% equity ownership interest in SOHA, S.A. held by Soffe’s subsidiary SAIM, LLC that was carried on our balance sheet under the equity method of accounting. SOHA’s management was independent from us,total net property, plant and the other 50% of SOHA S.A. was owned by a group of individual Costa Rican shareholders. SOHA’s assets did not constitute a material portionequipment. The percentage of our long-lived assets. In June 2006, we sold our equity in the joint ventureassets located offshore has increased from previous years due to the other shareholders,FunTees Acquisition and on July 6, 2006 we dissolved SAIM, LLC.the Ceiba Textiles initiative. In fiscal yearyears 2007, 2006 and 2005, approximately 70%, 74% and 73%, respectively, of our manufactured products were sewn in company-operated locations and 1% was sewn by our joint venture in Costa Rica.locations. The remaining products were sewn by outside contractors located in the Caribbean basin.
Along with our internal manufacturing, we source undecorated products and full-package products through independent sources. In fiscal yearyears 2007, 2006 and 2005, we sourced from third parties approximately 6%, 7% and 2%, respectively, of our products.
RAW MATERIALS
In conjunction with the sale of our yarn spinning facility located in Edgefield, South Carolina in January 2005, we entered into a five-year agreement with Parkdale America to supply our yarn requirements. During this five-year period, we will purchase exclusively from Parkdale all yarn required by Delta Apparel and our wholly owned subsidiaries for use in our manufacturing operations (excluding yarns that Parkdale did not manufacture as of the date of the agreement in the ordinary course of its business)business or due to temporary Parkdale capacity restraints). The purchase price of yarn is based upon the cost of cotton plus a fixed conversion cost. If Parkdale’s operations are disrupted and it is not able to provide us with our yarn requirements, we may need to obtain yarn from alternative sources. Although alternative sources are available, we may not

be able to enter into arrangements with substitute suppliers on terms as favorable as our current terms with Parkdale. As there can be no assurance that we would be able to pass along our own higher cost of yarn to our customers, this could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
We also purchase greige fabric to supplement our own production when required or when it is cost-effective to do so. These products are available from a number of suppliers. Our dyes and chemicals are also purchased from several suppliers. Dyes

and chemicals are available from a large number of suppliers and we have not experienced any difficulty in obtaining sufficient quantities.
COMPETITION
We sell our products in a highly competitive market in which numerous distributors and manufacturers compete, some of which are larger, more diversified and have greater financial resources than we do. Competition in the Activewear Apparel segment for catalog goods is generally based upon price, service, delivery time, quality and flexibility, with the relative importance of each factor depending upon the needs of particular customers and the specific product offering. For the private label market, quality and service are greater factors for customer choice. With respect to branded product lines in our Retail-Ready segment, competition is mainly based upon consumer recognition and preference. Our strategy for Soffe includes sustaining the strong reputation of Soffe and adapting our product offerings to the changes in fashion trends and consumer preferences. Our strategy for Junkfood is to continue buildingto build strong brand recognition, increase our product offerings by addingwith the men’s, boy’s and children’s lines, and increase our customer base. In addition, with respect to both the Activewear and Retail-Ready Apparel segments, we want to provide the best overall value to our customers. OurWe believe that our favorable competitive aspects include the high consumer recognition and loyalty to the Soffe and Junkfood brands, the high quality of our products, and our flexibility and process control, which leads to product consistency. Our ability to remain competitive in the areas of quality, price, design, marketing, product development, manufacturing, and distribution will, in large part, determine our future success.
TRADEMARKS
We own trademarks which are important to our business. We believe that Soffe®Soffe®, which has been in existence since 1946, has stood for quality and value in the Activewearactivewear market for more than fiftysixty years. Soffe®Soffe® has been a registered trademark since 1992. Junkfood®Junkfood® has been a registered trademark since 1999, and is a recognized brand primarily in the vintage apparel marketplace. In addition to the Soffe®Soffe® and Junkfood®Junkfood® trademarks, we also rely on the strength of our Sweet and Sour®Sour®, DELTA®Junk Mail®, QUAIL HOLLOW™Delta®, Quail Hollow™, and Intensity Athletics®Athletics® brands.
LICENSES
We have the right to use trademarks under license agreements. Soffe is an official licensee for over 300 colleges and universities, and Junkfood licenses over 60 trademarks for its vintage apparel products.several hundred trademarks. Our license agreements are primarily non-exclusive in nature and typically have terms that range from one to three years. Historically, we have been able to renew our license agreements and do not anticipate difficulty in renewing our license agreements in the future. Although we are not dependent on any single license, we believe our license agreements in the aggregate are of significant value to our business.
EMPLOYEES
As of July 1, 2006June 30, 2007, we employed approximately 4,0006,200 full time employees, of whom approximately 1,6001,800 were employed in the United States. We have never had a strike or work stoppage and believe that our relations with our employees are good. We have invested significant time and resources in ensuring that the working conditions in all of our facilities meet or exceed the standards imposed by the governing laws. We have obtained WRAP (Worldwide Responsible Apparel Production) certification for all of our existing sewing plants that we operate in Honduras, El Salvador and Mexico. We also obligate our third party manufacturing contractors to follow our employment policies.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND REGULATORY MATTERS
We are subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations concerning, among other things, wastewater discharges, storm water flows, air emissions and solid waste disposal. Our plants generate very small quantities of hazardous waste, which are either recycled or disposed of off-site. Most of our plants are required to possess one or more discharge permits and we are currently in compliance with the requirements of these permits.
We incur capital and other expenditures each year that are aimed at achieving compliance with current and future environmental standards. Generally, the environmental rules applicable to us are becoming increasingly stringent. We do not expect that the amount of these expenditures in the future will have a material adverse effect on our operations, financial condition or liquidity. There can be no assurance, however, that future changes in federal, state, or local regulations, interpretations of existing regulations or the discovery of currently unknown problems or conditions will not require substantial additional expenditures. Similarly, the extent of our liability, if any, for past failures to comply with laws, regulations and permits applicable to our operations cannot be determined.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
We operate in a rapidly-changing, highly competitive business environment that involves substantial risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risks identified below. The risks described below are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently do not view as material, may become material, and may impair our business operations. Any of these risks could cause, or contribute to causing, our actual results to differ materially from expectations.
ACQUISITION.We anticipate closing on the acquisition of Fun-Tees, Inc. on or around October 2, 2006; however, the closing of the acquisition is subject to the satisfaction of various closing conditions, including obtaining all necessary consents. The agreement can be terminated under various circumstances, including, among others, by us if we are unable to obtain satisfactory financing and by either party if the transaction fails to close by October 31, 2006. The success of the acquisition is dependent on our ability to integrate Fun-Tees into our existing textile operations, and to achieve the anticipated synergies with our activewear division. If we are unable to successfully integrate our operations, it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
OUR INDUSTRY IS SUBJECT TO PRICING PRESSURES.Prices in certain segments of our industry have generally been dropping over the past several years, even though demand for our products has increased since fiscal year 1998.years. The price declines have resulted from factors largely outside of our control, such as the industry’s transfer of manufacturing out of the United States, excess supply capacity, and changing raw material prices. In addition, intense competition to gain market share has led some competitors to sell substantial amounts of goods at prices against which we cannot profitably compete. Demand for our products is dependent on the general demand for Activewear Apparelactivewear apparel and the availability of alternative sources of supply. Our strategy in this market environment is to be a low-cost producer and to differentiate ourselves by providing quality service to our customers. Even if this strategy is successful, its results may be offset by reductions in demand or price declines. In addition, a slow-down in the economy could cause changes in the demand for apparel products, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
COMPETITION.OUR INDUSTRY IS COMPETITIVE.We sell our products in a highly competitive market in which numerous distributors and manufacturers compete, some of which are larger, more diversified and have greater financial resources than we do. Competition in the Activewear Apparelactivewear apparel industry for catalog goods is generally based upon price, service, delivery time, quality and flexibility, with the relative importance of each factor depending upon the needs of particular customers and the specific product offering. For the private label market, quality and service are greater factors for customer choice. With respect to branded product lines in the retail industry, competition is mainly based upon consumer recognition and preference. If we are unable to remain competitive in the areas of quality, price, design, marketing, product development, manufacturing, and distribution, it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
FASHIONWE MUST IMPLEMENT OUR COST REDUCTION BUSINESS STRATEGIES AND PLANS TO BE SUCCESSFUL.We operate in a highly competitive, price sensitive industry that requires off-shore production for a significant portion of manufacturing. We have previously announced our plans to construct a new production plant in Honduras, known as Ceiba Textiles, and also the restructuring of our U.S. operations with the closure of the Fayette, Alabama facility. Additionally, we continue the integration of the Fun-Tee’s operations into our existing Maiden, N.C. manufacturing facility, seeking improvements in our production and delivery of goods. These three significant projects are expected to improve our production efficiency and results of operations. If we are unable to complete these plans in a timely and cost effective manner, however, it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

OUR SUCCESS DEPENDS, IN PART, ON OUR ABILITY TO ANTICIPATE EVOLVING CONSUMER PREFERENCES AND TRENDS.The Retail-Ready Apparel segment comprisesconsists of our business units primarily focused on more specialized apparel garments to meet consumer preferences and fashion trends. The Soffe and Junkfood brands are recognized in the retail market for their high quality and fashion products. The popularity, supply and demand for particular apparel products can change significantly from year to year based on prevailing fashion trends and other factors. Our ability to adapt to fashion trends in designing our products is important to the success in the Retail-Ready Apparel segment. As an example, a significant percentage of our sales in this segment is one particular product item, the Soffe cheer short. If consumer demand for this product decreases significantly or if we are unable to quickly adapt to consumer preferences in the design of our other products, it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. In addition, a slow-down in the economy could cause changes in the demand for apparel products, which could have a material adverse effectaffect on our results of operations.
YARN PRICINGTHE PRICE OF OUR PURCHASED RAW MATERIALS IS PRONE TO SIGNIFICANT FLUCTUATIONS AND AVAILABILITY.VOLATILITY.Yarn is the primary raw material used in our manufacturing processes. As described above in “Raw Materials”, in conjunction with the sale of our yarn spinning facility, we entered into a five-year agreement with Parkdale to supply our yarn requirements. During this five-year period, we will purchase from Parkdale all yarn required by Delta Apparel and our wholly owned subsidiaries for use in our manufacturing operations (excluding yarns

7


that Parkdale did not manufacture as of the date of the agreement in the ordinary course of its business or due to temporary Parkdale capacity restraints). The purchase price of yarn is based upon the cost of cotton plus a fixed conversion cost. We fix theset future cotton prices with purchase commitments as a component of the purchase price of yarn in advance of the shipment of finished yarn from Parkdale. Prices are set according to prevailing prices, as reported by the New York Cotton Exchange, at the time we elect to fix specific cotton prices.enter into the commitments. Thus, we are subject to the commodity risk of cotton prices and cotton price movements which could result in unfavorable yarn pricing for us. While we believe that we will be competitive with other companies in setting the price of cotton purchased for future production, any significant increase in the price of cotton, or any significant decrease in the price of cotton where we have previously fixed the price of cotton, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. In addition, if Parkdale’s operations are disrupted and it is not able to provide us with our yarn requirements, we may need to obtain yarn from alternative sources. We may not be able to enter into arrangements with substitute suppliers on terms as favorable as our current terms with Parkdale, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
DISRUPTION INWE RELY ON OUR DISTRIBUTION OPERATIONS.OPERATIONS TO DELIVER PRODUCT TO CUSTOMERS.We have company-owned and leased distribution facilities located throughout the United States. Any significant interruption in the operation of any of these facilities may delay shipment of merchandise to our customers or damage our reputation, or otherwisewhich could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, a failure to successfully coordinate the operations of these facilities in planning and distribution activities also could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS RELY ON OUR INFORMATION SYSTEMS.We depend on information systems to manage our inventory, process transactions, respond to customer inquiries, purchase, sell and ship goods on a timely basis and maintain cost-effective operations. We may experience operational problems with our information systems as a result of system failures, viruses, or other causes. Any material disruption or slowdown of our systems could cause operational delays that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
CREDIT RISK.WE ARE EXPOSED TO THE RISK OF FINANCIAL NON-PERFORMANCE BY OUR CUSTOMERS ON A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF OUR SALES.We are exposed to the risk of financial non-performance by our customers on a significant amount of our sales. Our extension of credit involves considerable judgment and is based on an evaluation of each customer’s financial condition and payment history. We monitor our credit risk exposure by periodically obtaining credit reports and updated financials on our customers. In addition, we mitigate our risk of loss by obtaining credit insurance on a portion of our accounts receivable. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for potential credit losses based upon our historical trends and other available information. However, the inability to collect on sales to significant customers or a group of customers could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
OUR BUSINESS INCURS SIGNIFICANT FREIGHT AND TRANSPORTATION COSTS.We incur significant freight costs to transport our goods from our domestic textile plants to off-shore sewing facilities and then to bring our goods back into the United States. In addition, we incur transportation expenses to ship our products to our customers. Transportation costs significantly increased during fiscal year 2006, have remained high in fiscal year 2007, and, accordingly, had an unfavorable impact on our results of operations. Further significant increases in the costs of freight and transportation could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, as there can be no assurance that these increased costs could be passed to our customers.
THE PRICE OF ENERGY CONSUMPTIONIS PRONE TO SIGNIFICANT FLUCTUATIONS AND PRICES.VOLATILITY.Our manufacturing operations require high inputs of energy, and therefore changes in energy prices directly impact on our gross profits. Energy costs significantly increased during fiscal year 2006 and remained high in fiscal year 2007, and thus had an unfavorable impact on our results of operations. We are focusing on manufacturing methods that will reduce the amount of energy used in the production of our apparel products to mitigate the rising costs of energy. However, further significant increases in energy prices could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, as there can be no assurance that these increased costs could be passed to our customers.

GOODWILL ANDWE MAY BE SUBJECT TO THE IMPAIRMENT OF ACQUIRED INTANGIBLE ASSETS.When we acquire a business, a portion of the purchase price of the acquisition may be allocated to goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets. The amount of the purchase price whichthat is allocated to goodwill and other intangible assets is determined by the excess of the purchase price over the net identifiable assets acquired. At June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006, our goodwill and other intangible assets was approximately $13.9 million.$22.3 million and $22.5 million, respectively. Under current accounting standards, if we determine goodwill or intangible assets are impaired, we would be required to write down the value of these assets. We conduct an annual review to determine whether goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets are impaired. We completed such an impairment analysis for our fiscal year ended July 1, 2006,June 30, 2007, and concluded that no impairment charge was necessary. There can, however, be no assurance that we will not be required to take an impairment charge in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
AVAILABILITY OF CASH.WE MAY BE RESTRICTED IN OUR ABILITY TO BORROW UNDER OUR CREDIT AGREEMENT.Significant operating losses or significant uses of cash in our operations could cause us to be unable to pay our debts as they become due and to default on our credit facility, which would have an adverse effect on the value of our common shares. Our credit agreement contains customary representations and warranties, funding conditions and events of default. A breach of one or more covenants or any otherAn event of default under the credit agreement could result in an acceleration of our obligations under the agreement, in the foreclosure on any assets subject to liens in favor of

8


the credit agreement’s lenders, and in the inability of us to borrow additional amounts under the credit agreement. In addition, our agreement is an asset-based revolving credit facility. Our ability to borrow under the agreement depends on our accounts receivable and inventory levels. A significant deterioration in our accounts receivable or inventory levels could restrict our ability to borrow funds.
THE COST TO BORROW UNDER OUR CREDIT AGREEMENT MAY IMPACT OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.Although we have entered into an interest rate swap agreement that effectively converts $15.0 million of floating rate debt under our credit facility to a fixed obligation and have entered into a separate $15.0 million interest rate collar agreement that provides a cap and a floor on our rates, we have a significant amount of debt subject to variable interest rates. At June 30, 2007, we had an aggregate of $41.4 million of variable interest rate debt outstanding that was not covered by these agreements. If the cost to borrow under our credit agreement increases, it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
THE MARKET PRICE OF DELTA APPAREL SHARES.SHARES IS AFFECTED BY ITS ILLIQUIDITY.Various investment banking firms have informed us that public companies with relatively small market capitalizations have difficulty generating institutional interest, research coverage or trading volume. This illiquidity can translate into price discounts as compared to industry peers or to the shares’ inherent value. We believe that the market perceives us to have a relatively small market capitalization. This could lead to our shares trading at prices that are significantly lower than our estimate of their inherent value.
As of August 18, 2006,2007, we had outstanding 8,540,7518,398,395 shares of common stock. We believe that approximately 59.1%64.9% of our stock is beneficially owned by persons who beneficially own more than 5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock and related individuals, and that ofindividuals. Additionally, within this group approximately 34.9%35.8% of the outstanding stock is beneficially owned by institutional investors whothat own more than 5% of the outstanding shares. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market by any of these large holders could adversely affect the market price of the common stock.
OUR PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS MAY EXERT SUBSTANTIAL INFLUENCE.As of August 18, 2006, two2007, three members of our board of directors and related individuals had or shared the voting power with respect to approximately 24.2%29.1% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. These individuals will exert substantial influence with respect to all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders, including the election of our directors. In addition, our directors, executive officers and related individuals, as a group (comprised of 1216 people), owned 29.0%32.3% of our outstanding stock as of August 18, 2006,2007, and therefore will exert substantial influence with respect to all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders, including the election of directors.
OUR OPERATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTYRISKS IN MEXICO, HONDURAS AND MEXICO.EL SALVADOR.We have two company-operated sewing facilities in each of Mexico and Honduras and one company-operated sewing facility in Mexico. In conjunction with the acquisition of FunTees in fiscal year 2007, we will be adding a facility in El Salvador. If the labor markets tighten in any of these countries, it could have adverse effects on the industries located in the applicable country. In addition, economic or legal changes could occur that affect the way in which we conduct our business in any of these countries. For example, a growing economy could lower unemployment which could increase wage rates or make it difficult to retain employees or employ enough people to meet demand. The applicable government could also decide to add additional holidays or change employment lawlaws, thereby increasing our costs to operate in that country. Domestic unrest or political instability in any of these countries could also disrupt our operations. Any of these political, social or economic conditions could adversely affect our results of operations.
U.S.WE ARE SUBJECT TO INTERNATIONAL TRADE REGULATIONS.Our products are subject to foreign competition, which in the past has been faced with significant U.S. government import restrictions. Foreign producers of apparel often have significant labor cost advantages. Given the number of these foreign producers, the substantial elimination of import protections that protect

9


domestic apparel producers could materially adversely affect our business. The extent of import protection afforded to domestic apparel producers has been, and is likely to remain, subject to political considerations.
The North American Free Trade Agreement or “NAFTA” became effective on January 1, 1994 and has created a free-trade zone among Canada, Mexico and the United States. NAFTA contains a rule of origin requirement that products be produced in one of the three countries in order to benefit from the agreement. NAFTA has phased out all trade restrictions and tariffs among the three countries on apparel products competitive with ours. During fiscal 2001, we completed ourWe have sewing expansion intooperations in Mexico in order to take advantage of the NAFTA benefits. Subsequent repeal or alteration of NAFTA could seriously adversely affect our results of operations.
Under the United States-Caribbean Basin Trade Partnership Act (often referred to as the “CBI Parity Bill”), effective October 1, 2000, quotas and duties were eliminated on apparel imported from certain Caribbean basin countries, provided such apparel is made from U.S. fabric (made from U.S. yarn) formed and cut in the United States. The same exemption from quotas and duties applies to apparel made from U.S. fabric (made from U.S. yarn) cut in a Caribbean basin country if U.S. thread is used. This Act also exempts a limited amount of knit apparel (other than outerwear T-shirts) made from regional fabric (made from U.S. yarn), and T-shirts (other than underwear T-shirts) using fabric (made from U.S. yarn) formed in a Caribbean basin country. We believe that the CBI Parity Bill gives us a competitive advantage relative to apparel manufacturers outside of the Caribbean and improves our competitive position relative to apparel manufacturers inside the non-NAFTA countries. Subsequent repeal or adverse alteration of the CBI Parity Bill could put us at a competitive disadvantage relative to such manufacturers.
On August 2, 2005, the Central America Free Trade Agreement (“CAFTA”) was signed into law. CAFTA creates a free-trade zone among the United States, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Honduras, and Costa Rica. Although we are currently operating duty-freeWe have cutting and sewing operations in our Central American facilities throughHonduras and El Salvador to take advantage of the CBI Parity Bill, CAFTA provides further

9


assurance that this will continue.benefits. Subsequent repeal or alteration of CAFTA could seriously adversely affect our results of operations. In addition, several of our competitors have established textile production in Central America, which could result in lower manufacturing costs for them. This might cause the selling prices of our products to decline, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
The World Trade Organization or “WTO”, a multilateral trade organization, was formed in January 1995 and is the successor to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade or “GATT”. This multilateral trade organization, has set forth mechanisms by which world trade in clothing is being progressively liberalized by phasing-out quotas and reducing duties over a period of time that began in January of 1995. As it implements the WTO mechanisms, the U.S. government is negotiating bilateral trade agreements with developing countries (which are generally exporters of textile and apparel products) that are members of the WTO to encourage them to reduce their tariffs on imports of textiles and apparel in exchange for reductions by the United States in tariffs on imports of textiles and apparel. The remaining quotas were eliminated on January 1, 2005, significantly changing the competitiveness of many countries as apparel sourcing locations. As we believe that we are a low-cost producer of high quality apparel, we do not expect this to have a material impact on our results of operations in future years if NAFTA CBI Parity and CAFTA remain in place. In addition, the U.S. Government may take other action to improve the impact of a possible influx of textile and apparel products from China. There is, however, no assurance that our future results will not be impacted by increased global competition.
OUR OPERATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO ENVIRONMENTAL RULES.REGULATION.Our operations must meet extensive federal, state and local regulatory standards in the areas of safety, health and environmental pollution controls. There can be no assurance that interpretations of existing regulations, future changes in existing laws, or the enactment of new laws and regulations will not require substantial additional expenditures. Similarly, the extent of our liability, if any, for the discovery of currently unknown problems or conditions, or past failures to comply with laws, regulations and permits applicable to our operations, cannot be determined.
OUTSIDEWE HAVE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF INDEPENDENT CONTRACT PRODUCTION.We have historically relied upon third party suppliers for up to 40%30% of our sewing production. Any shortage of supply or significant price increases from our suppliers could adversely affect our results of operations.
WE RELY ON THE STRENGTH OF OUR TRADEMARKS.We rely onOur trademarks include the strength of our trademarks, including the Soffe®Soffe®, Intensity Athletics®Athletics®, DELTA®Delta®, QUAIL HOLLOWQuail HollowTM, Junkfood®Junkfood®, Junk Mail® and Sweet and Sour®Sour® brands. We have incurred legal costs in the past to establish and protect these trademarks, but these costs have not been significant. We may in the future be required to expend resources to protect these trademarks. The loss or limitation of the exclusive right to use our trademarks could adversely affect our sales and results of operations.
A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF OUR BUSINESS RELIES UPON LICENSE AGREEMENTS.Our Retail-Ready Apparel segment relies on its licensed products for a substantial part of its sales. Although we are not dependent on any single license, we believe our license agreements in the aggregate are of significant value to our business. The loss or failure to obtain license agreements could adversely affect our sales and results of operations.
WE DEPEND ON KEY MANAGEMENT.Our success depends upon the talents and continued contributions of our key management, many of whom would be difficult to replace. The loss or interruption of the services of these executives could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Although we maintain employment agreements with certain members of key management, we cannot be assured that the services of such personnel will continue. We do not, however, maintain an employment agreement with Robert W. Humphreys, President and Chief Executive Officer. We believe our future success depends on our ability to retain and motivate our key management, our ability to integrate new members of management into our operations and the ability of all personnel to work together effectively as a team.

During fiscal year 20062007 our manufacturing facilities operated at less than full capacity. WeWith the shutdown of our Fayette, Alabama facility in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2008, we may be slightly inventory constrained in the first half of fiscal 2008 in our Activewear segment. However, as our new facility in Honduras begins production in the second quarter of fiscal 2008, we expect our existing manufacturing facilities to have adequate manufacturing capacity in fiscal year 2007. During fiscal year 2006, we moved our two individual distribution facilities located in California into one larger consolidated facility.ongoing capacity. We believe all of our facilities are suitable for the purposes for which they are designed and are generally adequate to allow us to remain competitive with our principal competitors. In June 2007, we disposed of our former Knoxville, Tennessee warehouse which we had no longer been using to distribute products. Substantially all of our assets are subject to liens in favor of our credit agreement lender.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On May 17, 2006, adversary proceedings were filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina against both Delta Apparel, Inc. and M. J. Soffe Co. in which the bankruptcy trustee, on behalf of the debtor National Gas Distributors, LLC, alleges that Delta and Soffe each received avoidable “transfers” of property from the debtor. The amount of the claim is approximately $0.7 million plus interest against Delta, and approximately $0.2 million plus interest against Soffe. We contend that the claims of the trustee have no merit, and have filed counterclaims, totaling approximately $0.4 million, in the adversary proceedings.

All other pending litigation to which we are a party is litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. We believe that, as a result of legal defenses, insurance arrangements, and indemnification provisions with parties believed to be financially capable, any such actions should not have a material effect on our operations, financial condition, or liquidity.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
BUSINESS OUTLOOK
As we begin fiscal year 2008, we continue to see weak overall demand for apparel at retail. Despite this macro trend, we are encouraged by the demand for products from our Retail-Ready segment. Our Junkfood business experienced strong growth in our fiscal 2007 fourth quarter and our current indications are that this will continue into the first part of fiscal 2008. We believe we endedthis growth is due, to some extent, from retailers looking for new, fresh product to stimulate the consumer. Junkfood also has new licenses and customer opportunities that should allow us to build on the sales momentum established in the second half of fiscal year 2006 well positioned2007. Our Soffe business had record revenue for fiscal 2007, although fourth quarter sales were below our expectations. We are seeing good sell through of Soffe products and expect to continue increasing our sales and earningsfurther grow this business in fiscal year 2007. During2008 in all channels of distribution.

While we will be somewhat capacity constrained in our Activewear segment during the first half of fiscal year 2006,2008, we implementedalso expect record sales in this business for the year due primarily to having a full year of FunTees revenue. As our new merchandising and branding strategies at Soffe that appear to be increasing brand recognition, as evidenced bylower cost production comes on stream in the strong sell-throughsecond half of the Soffeyear we expect to have more products at retail. We continued to improve our manufacturing processesfully participate in the Soffe business, which we hopemarketplace. We believe demand for our off shore decorating capabilities will improve our margins and allow us to better serve our customers. Sell-through of the Junkfood product line at retail has also been solid,be strong and we are seeing an increase in orders from several traditional customers for early fall delivery. We continueshould be able to expand our Junkfood product offerings in men’s, boy’s and children’s apparel, which we believe will continue to grow ourbuild private label business inover the future. Overall we are pleased with the fiscal year 2006 performance of our Retail-Ready segment and are looking forward to continued sales growth and further improvement in operating margins in fiscal year 2007.long term.
Over the past years, we have used the cash flow from our Activewear segment to fund acquisitions to build our Retail-Ready segment. In fiscal year 2007, we will bebegan reinvesting in our Activewear segment with the acquisition of Fun-Tees.FunTees and the openingconstruction of Ceiba Textiles, our offshore textile facility. These two initiatives are expected to be key drivers in the future growth of our Activewear segment.
We expect that the anticipated acquisition of Fun-Tees will significantly increase our private label business by adding long-term, well-established relationships with national brands. The customer relationships and off-shore full package offerings are two key competencies of the Fun-Tees operations, and were the driving factors in our decision to acquire the business. We plan to migrate the Fun-Tees fabric production into our current facilities, which is expected to improve the overall cost structure in our Activewear segment.
On an annual basis we expect this acquisition to add approximately $70 million in revenue, and once integrated, to improve the operating margins in our Activewear segment. The acquisition is expected to be accretive to earnings in fiscal year 2007, despite the costs associated with moving fabric production and equipment into our existing facilities. We expect to see the results of the integration cost improvements in fiscal year 2008. We will not be acquiring any real property as a part of the FunTees transaction, and do not anticipate there will be any goodwill recorded. The acquisition of Fun-Tees will increase our employee base by approximately two thousand personnel located in North Carolina, Alabama, Mexico and El Salvador.
In fiscal year 2007, we are also beginning our off-shore textile initiativefacility in Honduras. With the recent passage of CAFTA, we believe it is important for us to take advantage of the opportunity to lower our fabric cost on basic products. The building and utility infrastructure will be leased from the Green Valley Industrial Park. We expect our total capital expenditure for this project will be approximately $15 million and will be incurred over three fiscal years.million. The facility is expected to ultimately produce approximately one million pounds of fabric per week and is expected to reduce our cost by approximately $7 million annually once at full production levels.
We The FunTees and Ceiba Textiles initiatives are pleasedexpected to be ablekey drivers in the future growth of our Activewear segment.
In July 2007, we announced our plans to reinvestrestructure our U.S. textile operations by closing our manufacturing facility in Fayette, Alabama. The closing of this facility is expected to occur in our Activewear segmentfirst quarter of fiscal year 2008 and will leave us with two U.S. textile operations, one located in Maiden, North Carolina and the acquisitionother in Fayetteville, North Carolina. In conjunction with our overall textile initiatives, including the integration of Fun-Tees andFunTees into our Maiden, North Carolina facility, the opening of Ceiba Textiles,our Honduran textile facility, and look forwardthe closing of our Fayette, Alabama facility, we expect to realizingincur total costs of approximately $10.0 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, associated with the additional salesrestructuring. The expenses impacted our fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, and profits that these twoare expected to impact our first half of fiscal year 2008, as follows:

We expect our restructuring initiatives should generate.will result in costs savings per diluted share of approximately $0.26 in fiscal year 2008, $0.62 in fiscal year 2009, and $0.80 in fiscal year 2010.
EARNINGS GUIDANCE
We will continue to issue earnings guidance of our sales and earnings expectations in fiscal year 2007. We have decided to change our earnings guidance to diluted earnings per share from the prior practice of issuing guidance based on basic earnings per share. Our earnings guidance includes the anticipated acquisition of Fun-Tees on or around October 2, 2006. In addition, we expect to record an extraordinary gain in our first fiscal quarter associated with the final earn-out payment made to the former M. J. Soffe shareholders. This anticipated extraordinary gain is also included in the earnings guidance for the first fiscal quarter and fiscal year guidance.
For the first fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2006,29, 2007, we expect sales to be in the range of $64$74 to $68$78 million and diluted per share results to be in the range of ($0.04) to $0.00. This compares to our fiscal year 2007 first quarter sales of $62.7 million and diluted earnings of $0.26 per share.
For the 2008 fiscal year ending June 28, 2008, we expect sales to be in the range of $335 to $350 million and diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $0.41$1.36 to $0.45.$1.52. This includes the $3.2 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, of anticipated expenses associated with the start-up of the new Honduran textile facility and the shutdown of the Fayette, Alabama facility that will impact results in the first two quarters of fiscal year 2008. This compares to our fiscal year 2006 first quarter2007 sales of $60.6$312.4 million and diluted earnings of $0.39$0.73 per share.
For the 2007 fiscal year ending June 30, 2007, we expect sales to be in the range of $325 to $340 million and diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $1.91 to $2.05. This compares to our fiscal year 2006 sales of $270.1 million and diluted earnings of $1.71 per share.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
For the fiscal year, sales reached an all-time record of $270.1$312.4 million, an 18.4%a 15.7% increase from $228.1$270.1 million in sales in the prior year.year as the FunTees acquisition provided significant additional sales in our private label business in the Activewear segment, partially offset by sales declines in our catalog business in the Activewear segment. Gross margins for the year improved 590decreased 620 basis points to 29.6%23.4% compared to 23.6%29.6% in the prior year driven primarily from increased salesexcess manufacturing and startup costs of $5.4 million associated with the integration of the higher margin branded apparel products and improved manufacturing costs and lower raw material pricing. This was offset partially by higher energy and transportation costs.
In fiscal year 2006 we began expensing stock option compensation costs in compliance with Statement No. 123 (revised 2004),Share-Based Payment(“Statement 123(R)”). During the year, we expensed approximately $800,000 in stock compensation related toFunTees operations into our Stock Option Plan that in prior years we would not have expensed.existing Maiden, North Carolina facility. In addition, we were required to comply with Section 404the inclusion of FunTees also reduced overall gross margins as sales from its private label business carry lower margins than our branded business, and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for fiscal year 2006. We estimateJunkfood business, which carries higher margins, had lower sales than in the cost expensed this year, including internal and external resources, as well as audit fees to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, was approximately $900,000, or approximately $0.07 earnings per share.prior year.

Net income for the year ended July 1, 2006June 30, 2007 was $14.8$6.3 million, a 32% increase57.3% decrease from the prior year.year, due primarily to lower gross margins described above, restructuring charges including $1.5 million for impairment charges related to the U.S. textile operations restructuring and higher interest charges on the debt incurred for the Fun-Tees Acquisition. Earnings were $0.75 per basic share and $0.73 per diluted share, including the $0.51 per diluted share of restructuring related charges, compared to $1.73 per basic share and $1.71 per diluted share compared to $1.35 per basic share and $1.33 per diluted share in the prior year. When comparing fiscal year 2006 to fiscal year 2005 results, the following chart highlights our fiscal year 2005 basic earnings per share, adjusted for the impact of the sale of our Edgefield, South Carolina yarn spinning facility and the reversal of the tax liability associated with our decision to permanently reinvest our foreign earnings in Honduras.
     
Actual FY05 Basic Earnings Per Share $1.35 
Sale of Edgefield Plant  (0.26)
Reversal of Foreign Earnings Tax Liability  (0.08)
    
Adjusted FY05 Basic Earnings per Share $1.01 
Fiscal year 2006 basic earnings per share improved 71.3%, or $0.72 per share, compared to fiscal year 2005 adjusted basic earnings per share of $1.01. The adjusted basic earnings per share, a non-GAAP financial measure, will not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We are presenting adjusted basic earnings per share for the fiscal year ended July 2, 2005 because we believe it provides a more complete understanding of our business results than could be obtained absent this disclosure. The sale of our yarn spinning plant and the reversal of the foreign earnings tax liability are infrequent and unusual transactions. We believe it is a useful tool for investors to assess the operating performance of the business without the effect of these transactions.
We ended fiscal year 20062007 with $47.5$46.4 million in total receivables, an increasea decrease of $10.9$1.1 million from the prior year, primarily due to an increase in sales during the quarter. Weour improved our days sales outstanding, endingwhich ended the year at 4744 days compared to 4947 days at the end of fiscal year 2005.2006. Our inventories on July 1, 2006June 30, 2007 were $103.7$124.6 million, an increase of $4.6$20.9 million from the prior year, primarily due to the JunkfoodFunTees acquisition. Although we ended the year with inventory levels slightly above our projections, weWe believe our year-end inventory levels are appropriate to support our sales growth expectations for the fiscal 20072008 first quarter and full fiscal year. Additionally, our accounts payable balance at June 30, 2007 was $35.9 million, an increase of $8.0 million from the prior year, primarily due to the FunTees acquisition.
We reduced our debt levels by $13.6$5.0 million during the fourth quarter, ending the year with $50.7$73.4 million in total debt. We had $32.4$19.3 million of availability under our revolving credit facility at year end.
Quarterly Financial Data

Fiscal Year 2007 versus Fiscal Year 2006
Net sales for fiscal year 2007 were $312.4 million, an increase of $42.3 million, or 15.7%, from net sales of $270.1 million in fiscal year 2006. Net sales in the Activewear segment were $178.2 million, an increase of $41.6 million, or 30.4%, due to the acquisition of the FunTees business, which contributed $55.6 million, offset partially by a decline of $14.0 million, or 10.2%, in the core Delta activewear business. In the Delta catalog business, unit volume declined from the prior year by lower volumes in the basic t-shirt products, which were partially offset by average selling prices improving by 1.4%. Higher average selling prices contributed $1.7 million in revenue while reduced unit volumes had a negative impact of $15.7 million. The industry’s pricing for basic t-shirts declined due to competition in the marketplace, which Delta chose not to match resulting in decreased volume but increased selling prices. The Retail-Ready segment contributed $134.2 million in net sales, compared to $133.4 million in fiscal year 2006. Sales increased slightly by $0.8 million, or 0.6%, due to increased sales in the Soffe business of $7.2 million, or 7.3%, offset by lower sales in the Junkfood business of $6.4 million, or 18.9%.
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 23.4% in fiscal year 2007 from 29.6% in the prior year. The margin decline of 620 basis points was primarily the result of the restructuring charges of $5.4 million from the expensing of start-up and excess manufacturing costs associated with the integration of FunTees into our existing facility in Maiden, N.C.. The Retail-Ready segment had flat gross margins from the prior year. The addition of FunTees reduced our overall gross margins in fiscal year 2007 as sales from its private label business generally carry lower gross margins than our branded business. Our gross margins may not be comparable to other companies, since some companies include costs related to their distribution network in cost of goods sold and we exclude a portion of them from gross margin and include them in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal year 2007 were $59.2 million, or 18.9% of sales, compared to $53.5 million, or 19.8% of sales, for fiscal year 2006. The increase of $5.7 million in additional expenses is due primarily from the addition of the FunTees business. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales declined 90 basis points due to the lower costs associated with the FunTees business and lower management incentive expenses. Selling costs as a percentage of net sales are higher in the Retail-Ready segment primarily due to the additional staffing, higher commissions, royalty expense on licensed products, and increased advertising expenses associated with selling branded apparel products.
Restructuring costs of $1.5 million recognized in 2007 consist of noncash impairment charges related to the reduction of textile operations in the U.S.
Operating income for fiscal year 2007 was $12.4 million, a decrease of $14.0 million, or 53.0%, from $26.4 million in fiscal year 2006. The decrease was primarily the result of the factors described above. For fiscal year 2007, the Retail-Ready segment contributed $17.1 million in operating income and the Activewear segment had a $4.8 million operating loss, which included $6.9 million in restructuring related expenses described above.
Other income for fiscal year 2006 was $0.7 million, primarily related to insurance proceeds received as a result of losses of inventory during the 2005 hurricane season. Other income for fiscal year 2007 is insignificant.

16


Net interest expense for fiscal year 2007 was $5.2 million, an increase of $1.3 million, or 35.0%, from $3.8 million for fiscal year 2006. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to the higher debt levels resulting from the acquisition of FunTees. Interest rates also increased during fiscal year 2007 from fiscal year 2006 by approximately 90 basis points, contributing to the higher interest expense.
Our effective income tax rate for fiscal year 2007 was 20.6%, compared to 36.0% for fiscal year 2006. Our effective income tax rate for fiscal year 2007 is lower than for fiscal year 2006 primarily as a result of the donation of our old Knoxville, Tennessee distribution facility to a charitable organization. From this donation, we recognized a $0.7 million tax benefit. In addition, due to our lower earnings this year, a higher proportion of our earnings are in the tax-free zone of Honduras, driving a lower overall effective tax rate.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, we recorded an extraordinary gain associated with the final earn-out payment made to the former M. J. Soffe shareholders. This extraordinary gain, net of taxes, was $0.7 million, or $0.08 per diluted share.
Due to the factors described above, net income for fiscal year 2007 was $6.3 million, a decrease of $8.5 million, or 57.3%, from net income of $14.8 million for fiscal year 2006.
Fiscal Year 2006 versus Fiscal Year 2005
Net sales for fiscal year 2006 were $270.1 million, an increase of $42.0 million, or 18.4%, from net sales of $228.1 million in fiscal year 2005. Net sales in the Activewear segment were $136.7 million, a decrease of $6.8 million, or 4.7%, from net sales of $143.4 million in fiscal year 2005. Lower fiscal year 2006 net sales in the Activewear segment were the result of lower average selling prices (down 6.6%, accounting for $9.6 million), offset partially by increased unit sales (up 2.0%, accounting for $2.8 million). The unit growth was driven primarily from basic tee shirt volume, offset slightly by a decrease in specialty and private label units. The shift in sales mix, along with slight declines in selling prices across the product categories, drove the lower average selling prices. The Retail-Ready segment contributed $133.4 million in net sales, compared to $84.6 million in the fiscal year 2005, an increase of 57.7%, primarily due to the acquisition of Junkfood.

Gross margins for the year ended July 1, 2006 improved 590 basis points to 29.6% compared to 23.6% in the prior year as a result of the higher gross margins associated with the Retail-Ready business and improved manufacturing costs. These increases were partially offset by higher energy and transportation costs. Gross margins as a percentage of sales are higher in the Retail-Ready segment than the Activewear segment due to the higher average selling prices achieved on the branded products, partially offset by higher manufacturing costs. Our gross margins may not be comparable to other companies, since some entities include costs related to their distribution network in cost of goods sold and we exclude a portion of them from gross margin, including them in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal year 2006 were $53.5 million, or 19.8% of net sales, an increase of $15.6 million from $37.9 million, or 16.6% of net sales, in fiscal year 2005. The 320 basis point increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the increased selling costs associated with the Junkfood business. Selling costs as a percentage of net sales are higher in the Retail-Ready segment primarily due to the additional staffing, higher commissions, royalty expense on licensed products, and increased advertising expenses associated with selling branded apparel products. Distribution expenses were also higher in fiscal year 2006, resulting from the additional costs associated with the move and duplication of expense associated with moving into our new consolidated distribution center in California. Bad debt expense improved from fiscal year 2005, primarily because in the prior year we took approximately $0.8 million in expense resulting from non-payment by a single customer.
Operating income for fiscal year 2006 was $26.4 million, an increase of $10.3$10.4 million, or 64.4%, from $16.0 million in fiscal year 2005. The increase is primarily the result of the higher gross profit in fiscal year 2006, partially offset by higher distribution and selling, general and administrative expenses described above. The Activewear and Retail-Ready segments contributed $6.9 million and $19.1 million in operating income, respectively.
Other income for fiscal year 2006 was $0.7 million, compared to other income of $4.1 million in fiscal year 2005. Other income in fiscal year 2006 is primarily related to insurance proceeds received as a result of losses of inventory during the 2005 hurricane season. The 2005 other income was a result of the sale of our yarn manufacturing plant in Edgefield, South Carolina to Parkdale America, LLC for $10 million in cash in January 2005. The sale of the Edgefield Plant resulted in a pre-tax financial gain of $3.6 million. In addition, in May 2005, we sold our Bladenboro, North Carolina building, resulting in a pre-tax financial gain of $0.4 million.
Net interest expense for fiscal year 2006 was $3.8 million, an increase of $0.8 million from fiscal year 2005. The increase in interest expense resulted from an increase in interest rates and higher average debt levels.

17


Our effective tax rate for the year ended July 1, 2006 was 36.0% compared to 34.3% for the year ended July 2, 2005. During fiscal year 2006, we took the Section 199 deduction for qualified production activity income as part of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, which had the effect of reducing our effective income tax rate by approximately 1%. During fiscal year 2005, we decided to permanently reinvest our foreign earnings in Honduras and therefore reversed a $0.7 million tax liability associated with the foreign earnings, resulting in the lower effective tax rate during fiscal year 2005.
Due to the factors described above, net income for fiscal year 2006 was $14.8 million, an increase of $3.6 million, or 32.0%, from net income of $11.2 million for fiscal year 2005.
Fiscal Year 2005 versus Fiscal Year 2004
Net sales for fiscal year 2005 were $228.1 million, an increase of $20.0 million, or 9.6%, from net sales of $208.1 million in fiscal year 2004. Net sales in the Activewear Apparel segment were $143.4 million, an increase of $6.0 million, or 4.4%, from net sales of $137.4 million in fiscal year 2004. Higher fiscal year 2005 net sales in the Activewear Apparel segment were the result of higher average unit prices (up 6.6%, accounting for $8.8 million), partially offset by lower unit sales (down 2.0%, accounting for $2.8 million). The Retail-Ready segment, entered into with the acquisition of M. J. Soffe Company in October 2003, contributed $84.6 million in net sales for fiscal year 2005, compared to $70.7 million in the nine months of fiscal year 2004. Fiscal year 2005 included 52-weeks of operations compared to 53-weeks of operations in fiscal year 2004.
Gross margins for the year ended July 2, 2005 improved 40 basis points to 23.6% compared to 23.2% in the prior year as a result of the higher gross margins associated with the Retail-Ready business, which was included in the results for the full year in fiscal 2005 and only for nine months of the 2004 fiscal year. The higher average selling prices in the Activewear Apparel segment were offset by higher raw material costs, partially offset by lower conversion costs. Gross margins as a percentage of sales are higher in the Retail-Ready Apparel segment than the Activewear Apparel segment due to the higher average selling prices achieved on the branded products, partially offset by higher manufacturing costs. Our gross margins may not be comparable to other companies, since some entities include costs related to their distribution network in cost of goods sold and we exclude a portion of them from gross margin, including them in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal year 2005 were $37.9 million, or 16.6% of net sales, an increase of $6.8 million from $31.0 million, or 14.9% of net sales, in fiscal year 2004. The 170 basis point increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily the result of having the Retail-Ready segment included for the full year in fiscal year 2005, compared to nine months in fiscal year 2004. Selling costs as a percentage of net sales are higher in the Retail-Ready Apparel segment primarily due to the additional staffing, higher commissions, royalty expense on licensed products, and increased advertising expenses associated with selling branded apparel products. General and administrative expenses increased primarily as a result of costs associated with the sale of our Edgefield facility. In addition, distribution expenses increased as a result of the startup costs associated with our new Clinton, Tennessee and Cranbury, New Jersey distribution facilities. Bad debt expense increased in fiscal year 2005 primarily as a result of non-payment from one customer.
Operating income for fiscal year 2005 was $16.0 million, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 7.0%, from $17.2 million in fiscal year 2004. The decrease is primarily the result of the higher general and administrative, distribution and bad debt expenses, as described above. The Activewear Apparel and Retail-Ready Apparel segments contributed $6.5 million and $9.8 million in operating income, respectively.
Other income for fiscal year 2005 was $4.1 million, compared to other expense of $0.2 million in fiscal year 2004. In January 2005, we completed the sale of our yarn manufacturing plant in Edgefield, South Carolina, resulting in a pre-tax financial gain of $3.6 million. In addition, in May 2005, we sold our Bladenboro, North Carolina building, resulting in a pre-tax financial gain of $0.4 million. Other expense in fiscal year 2004 is primarily related to $0.1 million in net losses on cotton options and $0.1 million loss related to the sales or disposal of certain machinery and equipment.
Net interest expense for fiscal year 2005 was $3.0 million, an increase of $0.4 million from fiscal year 2004. The increase in interest expense resulted primarily from the increase in interest rates, partially offset by lower average outstanding debt.
Our effective tax rate for the year ended July 2, 2005 was 34.3% compared to 32.4% for the year ended July 3, 2004. During fiscal year 2005, we decided to permanently reinvest our foreign earnings in Honduras and therefore reversed a $0.7 million tax liability associated with the foreign earnings, resulting in the lower effective tax rate during fiscal year 2005. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2001, we created a tax liability in the amount of approximately $0.9 million with respect to our tax sharing agreement between Delta Woodside Industries, Inc. (our former parent company) and the Company. During fiscal year 2004, we determined that it was no longer probable that a tax liability might occur as a result of this tax sharing agreement. Therefore, we reversed the $0.9 million tax liability that had been created at that time.
Net income for fiscal year 2005 was $11.2 million, an increase of $1.5 million, or 15.5%, from net income of $9.7 million for fiscal year 2004, due to the factors described above.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Credit Facility and Other Financial Obligations
On August 22, 2005, Delta Apparel, Junkfood, and M. J. Soffe Co. refinanced Delta Apparel’s $42.75 million credit facility and consolidated M. J. Soffe Co.’s $38.5 million credit facility with it pursuant towe entered into a Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amended Loan Agreement”) with Wachovia Bank, National Association, (the successor by merger to Congress Financial Corporation (Southern)), as Agent, and the financial institutions named in the Amended Loan Agreement as Lenders.
On October 2, 2006, in conjunction with the acquisition of FunTees, we entered into the First Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement and Consent. Pursuant to the First Amendment, Wachovia N.A. consented to the acquisition of FunTees and the assets of FunTees were included as collateral on the loan. In addition, the First Amendment eliminated certain limitations or restrictions with regards to dividend payments and stock repurchases.
On February 26, 2007, we entered into the Second Amendment to the Amended Loan Agreement. The Second Amendment increased our line of credit to $90 million.
Pursuant to the Amended Loan Agreement, Delta Apparel, Junkfood, and M. J. Soffe Co. became co-borrowers under a singleour credit facility the maturity of the loans under the credit facility was extended to August 2008, and theprovides a line of credit available to us was increased to $85of $90 million (subject to borrowing base limitations based on the value and type of collateral provided), which represents an increase of $3.75 million that matures in the aggregate amount that was available under the prior two credit facilities.
Within the credit facility, there is a Fixed Asset Loan Amortization Amount requiring monthly installment payments of $0.3 million, which reduces the amount of availability under the facility. The Fixed Asset Loan Amortization Amount under the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement was $16.8 million initially. At July 1, 2006, the Fixed Asset Loan Amortization Amount was $14.2 million.
August 2008. The credit facility is secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the real and personal property of Delta Apparel, Junkfood, and M. J. Soffe Co. All loans under the credit agreement bear interest at rates based on an adjusted LIBOR raterates plus an applicable margin or the bank’s prime rate plus an applicable margin. Within the credit facility, there is a Fixed Asset Loan Amortization Amount requiring monthly installment payments of $0.2 million, which reduces the amount of availability under the facility. Under the credit facility, after subtracting the

17


Fixed Asset Loan Amortization Amounts, we were able to borrow at June 30, 2007, up to $70.8$74.8 million ($53.4 million of which we had borrowed at June 30, 2007) subject to borrowing base limitations based on the accounts receivable and inventory levels. Annual facility fees wereare .25% of the amount by which $70.8$90.0 million exceeds the average daily principal balance of the outstanding loans and letter of credit accommodations during the immediately preceding month. At June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006 we had the ability to borrow an additional $19.3 million and $32.4 million, respectively, under the credit facility. At June 30, 2007, we had $2.1 million outstanding pursuant to letters of credit included in the Amended Loan Agreement.
The credit facility contains a subjective acceleration clause and a “springing” lockbox arrangement (as defined in EITF 95-22), whereby remittances from customers will be forwarded to our general bank account and will not reduce the outstanding debt until and unless a specified event or an event of default occurs. Pursuant to EITF 95-22, we will classify borrowings under the new facility as noncurrentnon-current debt.
At June 30, 2007, we had $68.4 million outstanding under our credit facility, at an average interest rate of 6.6%.
On April 2, 2007, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement and interest rate collar agreement to manage our interest rate exposure and effectively reduce the impact of future interest changes. Both agreements mature (or expire) on April 1, 2010. By entering into the interest rate swap agreement, we effectively converted $15.0 million of floating rate debt under our credit facility to a fixed obligation with a LIBOR rate at 5.06%. By entering into the interest rate collar agreement, we effectively provided a cap of 5.5% and a floor of 4.33% on LIBOR rates on $15.0 million of floating rate debt under our credit facility. We have assessed these agreements and elected to account for each as a hedge.
In addition to ourthe credit facility with Wachovia Bank, National Association, we have a seller note payable to the former Junkfood shareholders pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of August 22, 2005. The $2.5 million seller note bears interest at 9%, is payable quarterly, and requires principal payments of $750,000 and $1.25 million for each of the periods ending August 22, 2007 and 2008, respectively. At June 30, 2007, we had $2.0 million outstanding under the note.

18


In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007 we entered into a loan agreement with Banco Ficohsa, a Honduran bank, for our capital expansion in Honduras. The loan is secured by a first-priority lien on the assets of our Honduran operations. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 2%, is payable monthly, and has a three-yearfive year term. At June 30, 2007, we had $3.0 million outstanding on this loan.
In conjunctionPursuant to the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Stock Purchase Agreement related to the October 2003 Soffe acquisition, amounts were payable to the prior shareholders of M. J. Soffe if specified financial performance targets were met by M. J. Soffe Co. during the annual period beginning on October 2, 2005 and ending on September 30, 2006 (the “Earnout Amount”). The Earnout Amount was capped at a maximum aggregate amount of $4.0 million and was payable five business days subsequent to the filing of the Form 10-Q for the first fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2007. Based on the financial performance achieved, we paid the final Earnout Amount of $2.3 million to the prior shareholders of M. J. Soffe in November 2006. We recorded an extraordinary gain of $0.7 million, net of taxes, or $0.08 per diluted share, associated with the final earnout payment.
As part of the consideration of the acquisition of Junkfood, additional amounts are payable to the Junkfood sellers during each of fiscal years 2007, 2008, 2009, and entry into2010 if financial performance targets are met by Junkfood during the Amended Loan Agreement,period beginning on August 23,22, 2005 M. J. Soffe Co.and ending on July 1, 2006 and during each of the three fiscal years thereafter (ending on June 27, 2009). During the three months ended September 30, 2006, we paid approximately $5$3.3 million to satisfy in full the Promissory Note of M. J. Soffe Co. dated as of October 3, 2003, which wasformer Junkfood shareholders related to the earnout period ended July 1, 2006. Based on the financial performance, no earnout payment will be made in connection with our acquisition of M. J. Soffe Co. The Promissory Note was made in favor ofrelated to the Soffe sellers, James F. Soffe, John D. Soffe, and Anthony M. Cimaglia.earnout period ended June 30, 2007.
Our primary cash needs are for working capital and capital expenditures. In addition, we use cash to fund our dividend payments and share repurchases under our Stock Repurchase Program.
Operating Cash Flows
Net cash provided by operating activities was $20.5 million and $20.2 million and $19.3 million infor fiscal years 20062007 and 2005,2006, respectively. Our cash flow from operating activities in fiscal year 2007 was primarily due to net income plus depreciation and amortization and non-cash charges for stock compensation, asset impairment and deferred taxes, together with the change in working capital. The change in working capital provided $6.2 million in cash, primarily from increased collections of accounts receivable from our improved days sales outstanding, offset by an unfavorable change in income taxes of $3.2 million. Our cash flow from operating activities in fiscal year 2006 iswas primarily due to net income plus depreciation, amortization and noncashnon-cash compensation and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, partially offset by a decrease in other liabilities primarily from the payment of the Soffe earn-out payment. Our cash flow from operating activities in fiscal year 2005 is primarily due to net income plus depreciation and a decrease in inventory and an increase in accounts payable, partially offset by a decrease in other liabilities from the termination of our deferred compensation programs.payable. Changes in working capital are primarily monitored by analysis of the investment in accounts receivable and inventories and by the amount of accounts payable.
Investing Cash Flows
During fiscal year 2007, we used $10.9 million in cash for purchases of property, plant and equipment, primarily related to the Ceiba Textiles initiative and the integration of the FunTees operations and upgrades in information technology systems. We spent a total of $4.9 million on our Ceiba Textiles facility during fiscal year 2007, and anticipate spending an additional $10.1 million on the project. On October 2, 2006, we completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Fun-Tees, Inc. paying $21.8 million in cash. In addition, we paid $3.3 million to the former Junkfood shareholders related to the earn-out period ended July 1, 2006 and paid $2.3 million to the prior shareholders of M. J. Soffe based on the financial performance achieved for the twelve months ended September 30, 2006. This is the final earn-out payment due to the former M. J. Soffe shareholders. During fiscal year 2006, our investing activities used $35.6 million in cash. We used $28.2 million related to the acquisitions of Junkfood Clothing Company and Intensity Athletics. In addition, we spent $5.4 for capital expenditures, and we invested $2.2 million in the Green Valley Industrial Park joint venture. The joint venture was created to construct and operate an industrial park near San Pedro Sula, Honduras. This was offset by $0.1 million in cash proceeds received upon sale of our Costa Rica joint venture. In fiscal year 2005, investing activities used $0.7 million in cash. We used $11.0 million in cash for capital expenditures, primarily related to our distribution facilities and our Edgefield yarn spinning facility.
During fiscal year 2005,2008, we received $10.3expect to spend a total of approximately $14.0 million primarily from the saleon capital expenditures, which includes approximately $8.6 million of our Edgefield yarn spinning facilitycapital investment in Ceiba Textiles, $2.9 million for upgrades in information technology systems and our Bladenboro sewing plant.$2.5 million for production equipment.
Financing Activities
Our financing activities in fiscal year 20062007 provided $15.8$18.0 million in cash as compared to $18.7$15.8 million cash usedprovided in fiscal year 2005.2006. In fiscal year 2007, the cash provided by financing activities primarily came from our credit facility and such proceeds were primarily used for the acquisition of FunTees, and to pay $0.5 million of the Junkfood seller note. Additionally, $3.0 million was secured from Banco Ficohsa for the investment in Ceiba Textiles in Honduras. In fiscal year 2006, the cash provided by financing activities primarily came from our credit facility. During fiscal year 2006, we also borrowed $2.5 million in a seller note from the former Junkfood shareholders pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of August 22, 2005. The $2.5 million seller note bears interest at 9% and has a three-year term. In conjunction with the acquisition of

19


Junkfood and entry into the Amended Loan Agreement, on August 23, 2005, we paid approximately $5 million to satisfy in full the Promissory Note of M. J. Soffe Co. dated as of October 3, 2003, which was made in connection with our acquisition of M. J. Soffe Co. The Promissory Note was made in favor of the Soffe sellers, James F. Soffe, John D. Soffe, and Anthony M. Cimaglia. The cash used in financing activities in fiscal year 2005 primarily related to the repayment of debt under our credit facilities. We paid dividends to our shareholders totaling $1.5$1.7 million and $1.2$1.5 million in fiscal years 20062007 and 2005,2006, respectively.
Our credit facility contains limitations on cash dividends. We are allowed to make cash dividends in amounts such that the aggregate amount paid to shareholders since May 16, 2000 does not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of our cumulative net income calculated from May 16, 2000 to the date of determination. We used $3.4 million and $1.3 million in fiscal years 2007 and 2006, respectively, for share repurchases. At June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006 there was $10.6 million and $10.8 million, respectively, of retained earnings free of restrictions for the payment of dividends. The credit facility contains limitations on, or prohibitions of, cash dividends, stock purchases,repurchases, related party transactions, mergers, acquisitions, sales of assets, indebtedness and investments. We are allowed under our credit facility to make

18


purchases of our own stock up to an aggregate of $23.0 million provided that no event of default exists or would result from that action and after the purchase at least $3.0 million remains available to borrow under the facility. We used $1.3 million and $0.3 million in fiscal years 2006 and 2005, respectively, for share repurchases.
Future Liquidity and Capital Resources
Based on our expectations, we believe that our credit facility should be sufficient to satisfy our foreseeable working capital needs, and that the cash flow generated by our operations and funds available under our credit line should be sufficient to service our debt payment requirements, to satisfy our day-to-day working capital needs, to fund our planned capital expenditures and to pay dividends under our dividend program. We do, however, expect to amend our current credit facility with Wachovia Bank, National Association in conjunction with the acquisition of Fun-Tees on or around October 2, 2006, although there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so. Any material deterioration in our results of operations, however, may result in us losing our ability to borrow under our revolving credit facility and to issue letters of credit to suppliers or may cause the borrowing availability under our facility to be insufficient for our needs.
The following table summarizes our contractual cash obligations, as of July 1, 2006,June 30, 2007, by future period.

(a) We exclude interest payments from these amounts as the cash outlay for the interest is unknown and could not be reliably estimated as the majority of the debt is under a revolving credit facility. Interest payments will be determined based upon the daily outstanding balance of the revolving credit facility and the prevailing interest rate during that time. The interest on the Junkfood Seller Note is immaterial and therefore was excluded.
(b)Represents the amount expected to be paid to the former shareholders of M. J. Soffe Co., pursuant to the earn-out provisions of the Amended and Restated Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of October 3, 2003 among Delta Apparel, Inc., MJS Acquisition Company, M. J. Soffe Co., James F. Soffe, John D. Soffe, and Anthony M. Cimaglia. In addition, represents the amount expected to be paid to the former shareholders of Liquid Blaino, pursuant to the earn-out provisions of the Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of August 22, 2005 among Delta Apparel, Inc., Junkfood Clothing Company, Liquid Blaino Designs, Inc., Natalie Grof, and Blaine Halvorson.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2007, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are material to our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows as defined by Item 303(a) (4) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC other than the letters of credit described above. We have entered into derivative interest rate contracts as described and included below in “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in Item 7A of this report.
Dividends and Purchases of our Own Shares
Our ability to pay cash dividends or purchase our own shares will largely be dependent on our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, compliance with loan covenants and other relevant factors. Our credit facility permits the payment of cash dividends in anamounts such that the aggregate amount uppaid to 25%shareholders since May 16, 2000 does not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of our cumulative net income (excluding extraordinary or unusual non-cash items); provided that no eventcalculated from May 16, 2000 to the date of default exists or would result from that payment and afterdetermination. At June 30, 2007 there was $10.6��million of retained earnings free of restrictions for the payment at least $6.0 million remains available under the revolving credit facility. At July 1, 2006, the total amount permitted for payment of cash dividends under our credit agreement was $10.8 million.
Purchases of our own stock are permitted provided that no event of default exists or would result from that action and after the purchase at least $3.0 million remains available to borrow under the revolving credit facility. Our amended credit facility allows for an aggregate of $23.0 million in share repurchases.dividends.
During the fiscal year ended July 1, 2006,June 30, 2007, we purchased 72,477196,770 shares of our common stock pursuant to our Stock Repurchase Program for an aggregate of $1.3$3.4 million. Since the inception of the program, we’ve purchased 828,0011,024,771 shares of our stock under the program for a total cost of $5.7$9.1 million. We currently have authorization from our Board of Directors to spend up to $11.0$15.0 million for share repurchases under the Stock Repurchase Program.Program of which $5.9 million remains available for share repurchases. All purchases were made at the discretion of our management.

Dividend Program
On April 18, 2002, our Board of Directors adopted a quarterly dividend program. We paid $1.5$1.7 million and $1.2$1.5 million in dividends during fiscal years 20062007 and 2005,2006, respectively. Although our Board may terminate or amend the dividend program at any time, we currently expect to continue the quarterly dividend program.
Stock Split
On April 21, 2005, our Board of Directors approved a 2-for-1 stock split of our common stock. On May 31, 2005, shareholders received one additional share of common stock for each share held of record on May 18, 2005. All references in the financial statements with regard to the number of shares or average number of shares of common stock and related prices, dividends and per share amounts have been restated to reflect the 2-for-1 stock split.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant estimates and assumptions relate to the adequacy of receivable and inventory reserves, self-insurance accruals and the accounting for income taxes.
Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements includes a summary of the significant accounting policies or methods used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable
We consider revenue realized or realizable and earned when the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, title has transferred to the customer, the price is fixed and determinable and the collectibility is reasonably assured. The majority of our sales are shipped FOB shipping point and revenue is therefore recognized when the goods are shipped to the customer. For the sales that are shipped FOB destination point, we do not recognize the revenue until the goods are received by the customer. Sales are recorded net of discounts and provisions for estimated returns and allowances. We estimate returns and allowances on an ongoing basis by considering historical and current trends. We record these costs as a reduction to net revenue. We estimate the net collectibility of our accounts receivable and establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon this assessment. Specifically, we analyze the aging of accounts receivable balances, historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms. Significant changes in customer concentration or payment terms, deterioration of customer credit-worthiness or weakening in economic trends could have a significant impact on the collectibility of receivables and our operating results.
Inventories
Our inventory is carried at the lower of FIFO cost or market. We regularly review inventory quantities on hand and record a provision for damaged, excess and out of style or otherwise obsolete inventory based primarily on our historical selling prices for these products and our estimated forecast of product demand for the next twelve months. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected, or if liquidation of the inventory is more difficult than anticipated, additional inventory write-downs may be required.
Self Insurance
Our medical, prescription and dental care benefits are primarily self-insured. Our self-insurance accruals are based on claims filed and estimates of claims incurred but not reported. We develop estimates of claims incurred but not reported based upon the historical time it takes for a claim to be reported and historical claim amounts. While the time it takes for a claim to be reported has been declining, if claims are greater than we originally estimate, or if costs increase beyond what we have anticipated, our recorded reserves may not be sufficient, and it could have a significant impact on our operating results. We had self insurance reserves of approximately $445,000 and $478,000 for June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006, respectively.

Share-Based Compensation
We adopted the fair value based method prescribed in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004),Share-Based Payment, effective July 3, 2005. Under the fair value based method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the award vesting period. We determine the fair value of each stock option at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes options pricing model. This model requires that we estimate a

21


risk-free interest rate, the volatility of the price of our common stock, the dividend yield, and the expected life of the options. The use of a different estimate for any one of these components could have a material impact on the amount of calculated compensation expense.
Income Taxes
We use the liability method of accounting for income taxes, which requires recognition of temporary differences between financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities measured by enacted tax rates. We have recorded deferred tax assets for certain state operating loss carryforwards and nondeductible accruals. We established a valuation allowance related to certain of the state operating loss carryforward amounts in accordance with the provisions of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. We continually review the adequacy of the valuation allowance and recognize the benefits of deferred tax assets if reassessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized based on earnings forecasts in the respective tax locations. As of July 1, 2006, weWe had operating loss carryforwards of approximately $7.5 million and $7.5 million for state tax purposes. Thepurposes and a related valuation allowance against the operating loss carryfowards wasof $255 thousand and $146 thousand at June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006.2006, respectively. These carryforwards expire at various intervals through 2020.
RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In November 2004,February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 151 (“155,Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140(“SFAS 151”155”),Inventory Costs. SFAS 151 amends the guidance in Accounting Research Bulletin155 permits an entity to measure at fair value any financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would be required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately under FASB Statement No. 43,Inventory Pricing, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material (spoilage).133. SFAS 151 requires that those items be recognized as current period charges and that the allocation of fixed production overheads to the cost of converting work in process to finished goods be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS 151155 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after JuneSeptember 15, 2005.2006. We adopted Statement 151 effective July 3, 2005. After revieware currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS 155 will have on our cost allocation procedures, we determined thatfinancial position and results of operations and do not expect the adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Staff Position (“FSP”) Nos. 109-1,Application of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Actof 2004 (“FSP 109-1”), and 109-2,Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004(“FSP 109-2”). The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “Jobs Creation Act”) was enacted on October 22, 2004. Under guidance in FSP 109-1, the qualified production activities deduction will be treated as a “special deduction” as described in FASB Statement No. 109. As such, the special deduction has no effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities existing at the enactment date of the Jobs Creation Act. We have determined that our production activities will qualify under the Jobs Creation Act and expect that this deduction could reduce our effective income tax rate for fiscal year 2006 by up to 1%. FSP 109-2 states that an enterprise is allowed time beyond the financial reporting period of enactment to evaluate the effect of the Jobs Creation Act on its plan for reinvestment or repatriation of foreign earnings for purposes of applying SFAS 109. Based on our analysis and evaluation of the impact of the repatriation provisions, we did not repatriate any foreign earnings pursuant to the Jobs Creation Act.
On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 123 (revised 2004),Share-Based Payment (“Statement 123(R)”), which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation(“Statement 123”). Statement 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees(“APB 25”), and amends FASB Statement No. 95,Statements of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in Statement 123(R) is similar to the approach described in Statement 123. However, Statement 123(R)requiresall share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. Statement 123(R) is effective for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Accordingly, effective July 3, 2005, we adopted the fair-value recognition provisions of Statement 123(R).
On November 10, 2005, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 123(R)-3,Transition Election Related to Accounting for Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards. This provides for a simplified method to establish the beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool related to the tax effects of share-based compensation. Since our adoption of Statement 123, we had not recorded any excess tax benefits associated with our stock options and therefore we had no initial pool of excess

21


tax benefits upon adoption of Statement 123(R).
In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission released SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 107,Share-Based Payment. SAB No. 107 provides the SEC staff’s position regarding the implementation of Statement 123(R). SAB No. 107 contains interpretive guidance related to the interaction between Statement 123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations, as well as provides the staff’s views regarding the valuation of share-based payment transactions. Effective July 3, 2005, we adopted the fair-value recognition provisions of Statement 123(R) and SAB No. 107 using the modified-prospective transition method; therefore, prior periods have not been restated.
In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47,Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations(“Interpretation 47”), which is an interpretation of Statement No. 143,Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations(“SFAS 143”). Interpretation 47 clarifies terminology within SFAS 143 and requires an entity to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liability’s fair value can be reasonably estimated. Interpretation was effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. We evaluated our asset retirement obligations, determining we had no significant obligations with respect to conditional asset retirements. Accordingly, the adoption of Interpretation 47 did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement No. 154,Accounting Changes and Error Corrections(“SFAS 154”). This Statement requires retrospective application for voluntary changes in accounting principle unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS 154’s retrospective application requirement replaces APB Opinion No. 20’s,Accounting Changes,requirement to recognize most voluntary changes in accounting principle by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Effective July 3, 2005, we early adopted the accounting changes and corrections of errors provisions contained in Statement 154. For the year ended July 1, 2006, we determined that we had no accounting changes or corrections of errors that would be impacted by this statement. Accordingly, the adoption of Statement 154 did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“Interpretation 48”). Interpretation 48 provides clarifying guidance on the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109,Accounting for Income Taxesand prescribes recognition and measurement guidance in determining amounts to be recorded in the financial statements. This Interpretation applies to all income basedincome-based tax items and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We are currently evaluating the effect that the adoption will have on our financial position and results of operations and do not expect that the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on our financial statements.
In September 2006, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108,Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements(“SAB 108”). SAB 108 provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of determining whether the current year’s financial statements are materially misstated. SAB 108 is effective for the fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities(“SFAS 159”), which permits companies to adopt Interpretation 48choose to measure certain financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The standard requires that unrealized gains and losses on July 2, 2006.items for which the fair value option has been elected be reported in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of Interpretation 48SFAS 159 will have on our financial position and results of operations butand do not expect the adoption of this statement towill have a material impact on our financial statements.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Commodity Risk Sensitivity
On January 5, 2005, in conjunction with the sale of our yarn spinning facility in Edgefield, South Carolina, we entered into a five-year agreement with Parkdale to supply our yarn requirements. During this five-year period, we will purchase from Parkdale all yarn required by Delta Apparel and our wholly owned subsidiaries for use in our manufacturing operations (excluding yarns that Parkdale did not manufacture as of the date of the agreement in the ordinary course of its business or due to temporary Parkdale capacity restraints). The purchase price of yarn is based upon the cost of cotton plus a fixed conversion cost. Thus, we are subject to the commodity risk of cotton prices and cotton price movements which could result

22


in unfavorable yarn pricing for us. We fix theset future cotton prices with purchase commitments as a component of the purchase price of yarn with Parkdale, pursuant to the supply agreement, in advance of the shipment of finished yarn from Parkdale. Prices are set according to prevailing prices, as reported by the New York Cotton Exchange, at the time we elect to fix specific cotton prices.enter into the commitments.
Yarn with respect to which we have fixed cotton prices at July 1, 2006June 30, 2007 was valued at $24.7$19.7 million, and is scheduled for delivery between July 20062007 and MarchDecember 2007. At July 1, 2006,June 30, 2007, a 10% decline in the market price of the cotton covered by our fixed price yarn would have had a negative impact of approximately $1.7$1.3 million on the value of the yarn. This compares to a negative impact of $1.7 million at the 2006 fiscal year end based on the yarn with fixed cotton prices at July 1, 2006. The effect of a 10% decline in the market price of covered cotton had a larger impact as of July 1, 2006 than as of June 30, 2007 due to the higher levels of fixed cotton outstanding on July 1, 2006.
We may use derivatives, including cotton option contracts, to manage our exposure to movements in commodity prices. We do not designate our options as hedge instruments upon inception. Accordingly, we mark to market changes in the fair market value of the options as other income or other expense in the statements of income. We did not own any cotton options contracts on July 1,June 30, 2007 or July1, 2006.

22


Interest Rate Sensitivity
Our credit agreements provide that the outstanding amounts owed shall bear interest at variable rates. If the amount of outstanding indebtedness at July 1, 2006June 30, 2007 under the revolving credit facilities had been outstanding during the entire year and the interest rate on this outstanding indebtedness werewas increased by 100 basis points, our expense would have increased by approximately $0.5$0.7 million, or 12.6%13.2%, for the fiscal year. This compares to an increase of $0.3$0.5 million, or 10.7%12.6%, for the 20052006 fiscal year based on the outstanding indebtedness at July 2, 2005.1, 2006. The effect of a 100 basis point increase in interest rates has a larger impact as of July 1, 2006June 30, 2007 than as of July 2, 20051, 2006 due to the higher debt levels outstanding on July 1, 2006,June 30, 2007, resulting primarily from the acquisition of the JunkfoodFunTees business. 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.
Derivatives
On April 2, 2007, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement and interest rate collar agreement to manage our interest rate exposure and effectively reduce the impact of future interest changes. Both agreements mature (or expire) on April 1, 2010. By entering into the interest rate swap agreement, we effectively converted $15.0 million of floating rate debt under our credit facility to a fixed obligation with a LIBOR rate at 5.06%. By entering into the interest rate collar agreement, we effectively provided a cap of 5.5% and a floor of 4.33% on LIBOR rates on $15.0 million of floating rate debt under our credit facility. We have assessed these agreements and elected to account for each as a hedge.
Changes in the derivatives’ fair values are deferred and recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) until the underlying transaction is recorded. When the hedged item affects income, gains or losses are reclassified from AOCI to the Consolidated Statements of Income as interest income/expense. Any ineffectiveness, if material, in the Company’s hedging relationships is recognized immediately in the statement of income. The changes in fair value of the interest rate swap and collar agreement resulted in AOCI, net of taxes, of $0.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2007. There were no outstanding derivative instruments at July 1, 2006 or July 2, 2005.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management of Delta Apparel, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of July 1, 2006June 30, 2007 based on the framework inInternal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). The scope of our efforts to comply with the Section 404 Rules with respect to fiscal year 20062007 included all of our operations other than those of our wholly owned subsidiary, Junkfood Clothingoperations associated with the October 2, 2006 acquisition of Fun-Tees, Inc. where the Company formed to purchasepurchased substantially all of the assets of Liquid Blaino Designs,Fun-Tees, Inc. d/b/a Junkfood Clothing. In accordance with the SEC’s published guidance, because we acquired these operations during the fiscal year, we excluded these operations from our efforts to comply with Section 404 Rules with respect to fiscal year 2006.2007. As of July 1, 2006,June 30, 2007, total assets for Junkfood Clothing Companythe operations of the former Fun-Tees, Inc. were $31.3approximately $28.3 million and total revenues for these operations for the period ending July 1, 2006June 30, 2007 were $34.2approximately $55.6 million. Based on that evaluation, excluding our operations discussed above, our management has concluded that, as of July 1, 2006,June 30, 2007, our internal control over financial reporting is effective.
Management’s assessment of theThe effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of July 1, 2006June 30, 2007 has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, who also audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Ernst & Young’s attestation report on management’s assessment of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting follows this report.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Delta Apparel, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Delta Apparel, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006, and July 2, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended July 1, 2006.June 30, 2007. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the index of Item 15 (a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company at June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006, and July 2, 2005, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended July 1, 2006,June 30, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, for the three years ended July 1, 2006, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Delta Apparel, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of July 1, 2006June 30, 2007 based on criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and our report dated September 6, 2006August 30, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Delta Apparel, Inc.
We have audited management’s assessment, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that Delta Apparel, Inc. maintained effective’s internal control over financial reporting as of July 1, 2006,June 30, 2007, based on criteria established inInternal Control — Control—Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Delta Apparel, Inc.'s’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’scompany’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment,assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provideprovides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
As indicated in the accompanying report of Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, management’s assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of Junkfood Clothing Company,the former Fun-Tees, Inc., which is included in the 20062007 consolidated financial statements of Delta Apparel, Inc. and constituted $31.3$28.3 million and $4.4$20.1 million of total assets and net assets, respectively, as of July 1, 2006June 30, 2007 and $34.2$55.6 million and $4.4$1.3 million of revenues and net income,loss, respectively, for the year then ended. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting at July 1, 2006of Delta Apparel, Inc. also did not include an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Junkfood Clothing Company.the former Fun-Tees, Inc.
In our opinion, management’s assessment that Delta Apparel, Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of July 1, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO criteria. Also in our opinion, Delta Apparel, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of July 1, 2006,June 30, 2007, based on the COSO criteria.criteria.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Delta Apparel, Inc. as of June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006, and July 2, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended July 1, 2006June 30, 2007 of Delta Apparel, Inc. and our report dated September 6, 2006August 30, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Delta Apparel, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Amounts in thousands, unless otherwise noted and excluding share and per share amounts)
NOTE 1—THE COMPANY
We are a marketer, manufacturer and distributor of high quality branded and private label Activewear Apparel.activewear apparel. We specialize in selling a variety of casual and athletic Activewearactivewear tops and bottoms, embellished and unembellished T-shirts,t-shirts, and fleece products for the ever-changing apparel market. We focus on our broad distribution of apparel products toon specialty and boutique stores, high-end and mid-tier retail stores, sporting goods stores, screen printers, and private label accounts. In addition, we sell certain products are sold in college bookstores and to the U.S. Military. We design and manufacture the majority of our products ourselves, allowing us to provide our customers consistent, high quality products. Our manufacturing operations are located in the Southeastern United States, El Salvador, Honduras, and Mexico. In addition, we use foreign and domestic contractors as additional sources of production.
We were incorporated in Georgia in 1999 and our principal executive offices are located at 2750 Premiere Parkway, Suite 100, Duluth, Georgia 30097 (telephone number: 678-775-6900). Our common stock trades on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol “DLA”.
NOTE 2—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of Presentation:Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Delta Apparel and its wholly owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The equity method of accounting is used for investments in companies where we have a 20% to 50% ownership interest. We do not exercise control over these companies, nor do we have substantive participating rights. Accordingly, they are not variable interest entities and these investments are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
We manage our business in two distinct segments: Activewear Apparel and Retail-Ready Apparel. Although the two segments are similar in their production processes and regulatory environment, they are distinct in their economic characteristics, products and distribution methods.
(b) Fiscal Year:We operate on a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to June 30. The 2007, 2006 and 2005 fiscal years were 52-week years and ended on June 30, 2007, July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005, respectively. The 2004 fiscal year was a 53-week year and ended on July 3, 2004.
(c) Use of Estimates:The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are adjusted to reflect actual experience when necessary. Significant estimates and assumptions affect many items in our financial statements, for example: allowance for doubtful trade receivables, sales returns and allowances, inventory obsolescence, income tax assets and liabilities and related valuation allowances, and self-insurance reserves. Our actual results may differ from our estimates.
(d) Revenue Recognition:We recognize sales when the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, title has transferred to the customer, the price to the buyer is fixed and determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. The majority of our sales are shipped FOB shipping point and revenue is therefore recognized when the goods are shipped to the customer. For the sales that are shipped FOB destination point, we do not recognize the revenue until the goods are received by the customer. Shipping and handling charges billed to our customers are included in net revenue, and the related shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold. We estimate returns and allowances on an ongoing basis by considering historical and current trends. We record these costs as a reduction to net revenue.
(e) Cash:Cash consists of cash and temporary investments with original maturities of three months or less.
(f) Accounts Receivable:Accounts receivable consists primarily of receivables from our customers and we generally do not require collateral. We actively monitor our exposure to credit risk through the use of credit approvals and credit limits. We assign a portion of our trade accounts receivable at our Junkfood Clothing Companydivision under a factorfactoring agreement. We account for our agreement as a sale in accordance with FASB Statement No. 140,Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. The assignment of these receivables is without recourse, provided that the customer orders are approved by the factor prior to shipment of the goods, up to a maximum for each individual account. The agreement does not include provisions for advances from the factor against the assigned receivables. The factor funds the accounts receivable upon collection, or, exclusive of disputed claims, upon 90 days after the due date. The amount due from the factor is included in our accounts receivable on our balance sheet and changes in the amount due from factor is included in our cash flow from operations. At June 30, 2007, our trade accounts receivable less allowances was $45.3

F- 9


upon 90 days after themillion, consisting of $43.1 million in unfactored accounts receivable, $4.1 million due date. We providefrom factor, and $1.9 million in allowances. At July 1, 2006 our accounts receivable less allowances for merchandise returns, claimswas $45.8 million, consisting of $45.5 million in unfactored accounts receivable, $2.5 million due from factor, and markdowns, and bad debts based on historical credits issued as a percentage of sales and periodic evaluations of the aging of accounts receivable.$2.2 million in allowances.
(g) Inventories:We state inventories at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Estimated losses on inventories represent reserves for obsolescence, excess quantities, irregulars and slow moving inventory. We estimate the losses on the basis of our assessment of the inventory’s net realizable value based upon current market conditions and historical experience. The majority of our raw materials are readily available, and thus we are not dependent on a single supplier.
(h) Property, Plant and Equipment:Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. We depreciate and amortize our assets on a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to twenty years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvements. Assets that we acquire under non-cancelable leases that meet the criteria of capital leases are capitalized in property, plant and equipment and amortized over the useful lifelives of the related assets. When we retire or dispose of assets, the costs and accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the respective accounts and we recognize any related gain or loss. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred. Major replacements that substantially extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated.
(i) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets:In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, “AccountingAccounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”Assets, our long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. When evaluating assets for potential impairment, we would compare the carrying amount of the asset to the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If impairment is indicated, the asset would beis permanently written down to its estimated fair market value (based upon future discounted cash flows) and an impairment loss would beis recognized. We recorded $1.5 million in impairment losses for fiscal year 2007. See Note 16 for a further discussion on these impairment losses.
(j) Goodwill and Intangibles:Certain intangibles and goodwill were recorded upon the acquisition of Junkfood Clothing Company as further described in Note 3—Acquisitions.fiscal year 2006. Intangible assets associated with the Junkfood business, including the trade name and trademarks, customer relationships, non-compete agreements and goodwill, were recorded at the acquisition date.
Earnout payments made in fiscal year 2007 associated with the acquisition increased the balance of goodwill by $334,000. Intangible assets are amortized based on their estimated useful lives, ranging from five to twenty years, as detailed in Note 3—Acquisitions.
6 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets. Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of net identified tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired. We doacquired and is not amortize goodwill, but instead test goodwill for impairment on at least an annual basis. Goodwill and intangibles totaled $22,888 at July 1, 2006.amortized. The total amount of goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
(k) Impairment of Goodwill:We evaluate the carrying value of goodwill annually as of December 31 and between annual evaluations if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change in business climate or unanticipated competition. When evaluating whether the goodwill is impaired, we compare the fair value of the reporting unit to which the goodwill is assigned to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the amount of the impairment loss must be measured. The impairment loss would beis calculated by comparing the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill to its carrying amount. In calculating the implied fair value of goodwill, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the other assets and liabilities, including intangible assets, of that unit based on their fair values. The excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amount assigned to its other assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. We completed our annual test of goodwill as of December 31, 20052006 and we did not identify any impairment as a result of the review.
(l) Self Insurance Reserves:Our medical, prescription and dental care benefits are primarily self-insured. Our self-insurance accruals are based on claims filed and estimates of claims incurred but not reported. We develop estimates of claims incurred but not reported based upon the historical time it takes for a claim to be reported and historical claim amounts. We had self insurance reserves of approximately $445,000 and $478,000 for June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006, respectively.
(m) Internally Developed Software Costs.We account for internally developed software in accordance with SOP98-1,SOP 98-1,Accounting for Computer Software Developed for or obtained for Internal Use. After technical feasibility has been established, we capitalize the cost of our software development process, including payroll and payroll benefits, by tracking the software development hours invested in the software projects. We amortize our software development costs in accordance with the estimated economic life of the software, which is generally three to five years.
(m)(n) Income Taxes:We account for income taxes under the 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.

F- 10


(n)(o) Costs of Goods Sold:We include in cost of goods sold all manufacturing and sourcing costs incurred prior to the receipt of finished goods at our distribution facilities. The costs of goods sold principally include product cost, purchasing costs, inbound freight charges, insurance, and inventory write-downs. Our gross margins may not be comparable to other companies, since some entities include costs related to their distribution network in cost of goods sold and we exclude a portion of them from gross margin, including them in selling, general and administrative expenses.
(o)(p) Selling, General and Administrative Expense:We include in selling, general and administrative expenses, costs incurred subsequent to the receipt of finished goods at our distribution facilities, such as the cost of stocking, warehousing, picking and packing, and shipping goods for delivery to our customers. Distribution costs included in selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $13,847, $9,073$14.1 million, $13.8 million and $7,426$9.1 million in fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005, and 2004, respectively. The Retail-Ready Apparel segment was included in our results beginning on October 3, 2004. In addition, selling, general and administrative expenses include costs related to sales associates, administrative personnel cost, advertising and marketing expenses, royalty payments on licensed products and general and administrative expenses.
(p)(q) Advertising Costs:All costs associated with advertising and promoting our products are expensed during the year in which they are incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income. We participate in cooperative advertising programs with our customers. Depending on the customer, our defined cooperative programs allow the customer to use from 1% to 4%5% of its net purchases from us towards advertisements of our products. As our products are being specifically advertised, we are receiving an identifiable benefit resulting from the consideration for cooperative advertising. Therefore, pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force 01-9,Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products), we record our cooperative advertising costs as a selling expense based on the net sales sold under the cooperative program and the related cooperative advertising reserve balances are recorded as accrued liabilities. Advertising costs totaled $4,357, $3,860,$4.5 million, $4.4 million and $2,961$3.9 million in fiscal years 2007, 2006 2005 and 2004,2005, respectively. Included in these costs were $1,437, $1,303$1.8 million, $1.4 million and $1,040$1.3 million in fiscal years 2007, 2006 2005 and 2004,2005, respectively, related to our cooperative advertising programs.
(q)(r) Foreign Currency Translation:Our functional currency for our owned foreign manufacturing facilities is the United States dollar. We remeasure those assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies using exchange rates in effect on theat each balance sheet date. Fixed assets and the related depreciation or amortization charges are recorded at the exchange rates in effect on the date we acquired the assets. Revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured using average exchange rates for all periods presented. We recognize the resulting foreign exchange gains and losses as a component of other income and expense in the consolidated statements of income. These gains and losses are immaterial for all periods presented.
(r)(s) Earnings Perper Share:We compute basic earnings per share by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The computation of diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of stock options and non-vested stock awards. The weighted-average shares do not include securities that would be anti-dilutive for each of the periods presented.
(s)(t) Yarn and Cotton Procurements:On January 5, 2005, in conjunction with the sale of our yarn spinning facility in Edgefield, South Carolina, we entered into a five-year supply agreement with Parkdale America LLC to supply our yarn requirements. During this five-year period, we will purchase from Parkdale all yarn required by Delta Apparel and our wholly owned subsidiaries, for use in our manufacturing operations (excluding yarns that Parkdale did not manufacture as of the date of the agreement in the ordinary course of its business or due to temporary Parkdale capacity restraints). The purchase price of yarn is based upon the cost of cotton plus a fixed conversion cost. Thus, we are subject to the commodity risk of cotton prices and cotton price movements which could result in unfavorable yarn pricing for us. We fix the cotton prices as a component of the purchase price of yarn with Parkdale, pursuant to the supply agreement, in advance of the shipment of finished yarn from Parkdale. Prices are set according to prevailing prices, as reported by the New York Cotton Exchange, at the time we elect to fix specific cotton prices.
Prior to the sale of our yarn spinning facility on January 5, 2005, we contracted to buy cotton with future delivery dates at fixed prices in order to reduce the effects of fluctuations in the prices of cotton used in the manufacture of our products. These contracts permitted settlement by delivery and were not used for trading purposes. We committed to fixed prices on a percentage of our cotton requirements up to eighteen months in the future. The contracts were considered a normal purchase and the fair value of the contracts were not recorded on the balance sheet. If market prices for cotton fell below our committed fixed costs and we estimated that the costs of cotton were not recoverable in future sales of finished goods, the differential was charged to income at that time.
(t)(u) Stock Option and Incentive Award Plans:
As of July 3, 2005, we adopted the fair-value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004),Share-Based Payment(“Statement 123(R)”) and the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, (“Share-Based Payment(“SAB

F- 11


107”) using the modified-prospective transition method; therefore, prior periods have not been restated. Statement 123(R) requires all share-based payments to

F- 11


employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative.
Prior to July 2,3, 2005, we accounted for stock plans under Statement 123. As permitted under this standard, compensation cost was recognized using the intrinsic value method described in APB 25 and related Interpretations. Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share was required by Statement 123 to be determined as if we had accounted for our employee stock options under the fair value method of that Statement. For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options under the Option Plan and the Award Plan were amortized to expense over the options’ vesting period. Our pro forma information follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

We determine at inception whether the derivative instruments will be accounted for as hedges.
The Company accounts for derivatives and hedging activities in accordance with SFAS No. 133Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and hedging activities. It requires the recognition of all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and measurement of those instruments at fair value. The accounting treatment of changes in fair value is dependent upon whether or not a derivative instrument is designated as a hedge and, if so, the type of hedge. For derivative financial instruments not designated as a hedge, changes in fair value are recognized in income. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, to the extent effective, changes in fair value are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) until the hedged item is recognized in income. Ineffectiveness is recognized immediately in income. The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking various hedge transactions, at the inception of such transactions.
No raw material option agreements were purchased during fiscal year 2007, 2006 or 2005. All optionOn April 2, 2007, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement and interest rate collar agreement to manage our interest rate exposure and effectively reduce the impact of future interest changes.

By entering into the interest rate collar agreement, we effectively provided a cap of 5.5% and a floor of 4.33% on LIBOR rates on $15.0 million of floating rate debt under our credit facility. We have assessed these agreements and elected to account for each as hedges. As such, on a quarterly basis we marked to marketcash flow hedge.

(y) Recent Accounting Pronouncements:In November 2004,February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 151 (“155,Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140(“SFAS 151”155”),Inventory Costs. SFAS 151 amends the guidance in Accounting Research Bulletin155 permits an entity to measure at fair value any financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would be required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately under FASB Statement No. 43,Inventory Pricing, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material (spoilage).133. SFAS 151 requires that those items be recognized as current period charges and that the allocation of fixed production overheads to the cost of converting work in process to finished goods be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS 151155 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after JuneSeptember 15, 2005.2006. We adopted Statement 151 effective July 3, 2005. After revieware currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS 155 will have on our cost allocation procedures, we determined thatfinancial position and results of operations and do not expect the adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Staff Position (“FSP”) Nos. 109-1,Application of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Actof 2004 (“FSP 109-1”), and 109-2,Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004(“FSP 109-2”). The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “Jobs Creation Act”) was enacted on October 22, 2004. Under guidance in FSP 109-1, the qualified production activities deduction will be treated as a “special deduction” as described in FASB Statement No. 109. As such, the special deduction has no effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities existing at the enactment date of the Jobs Creation Act. We have determined that our production activities will qualify under the Jobs Creation Act and expect that this deduction could reduce our effective income tax rate for fiscal year 2006 by up to 1%. FSP 109-2 states that an enterprise is allowed time beyond the financial reporting period of enactment to evaluate the effect of the Jobs Creation Act on its plan for reinvestment or repatriation of foreign earnings for purposes of applying SFAS 109. Based on our analysis and evaluation of the impact of the repatriation provisions, we did not repatriate any foreign earnings pursuant to the Jobs Creation Act.
On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 123 (revised 2004),Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation(“Statement 123”). Statement 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees(“APB 25”), and amends FASB Statement No. 95,Statements of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in Statement 123(R) is similar to the approach described in Statement 123. However, Statement 123(R)requiresall share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. Statement 123(R) is effective for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Accordingly, effective July 3, 2005, we adopted the fair-value recognition provisions of Statement 123(R). See Note 13, Stock Options and Incentive Stock Awards, for further information on the implementation of Statement 123(R).
On November 10, 2005, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 123(R)-3,Transition Election Related to Accounting for Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards. This provides for a simplified method to establish the beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool related to the tax effects of share-based compensation. Since our adoption of Statement 123, we have not recorded any excess tax benefits associated with our stock options and therefore we have no initial pool of excess tax benefits upon adoption of Statement 123(R).
In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission released SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 107,Share-Based Payment. SAB No. 107 provides the SEC staff’s position regarding the implementation of Statement 123(R). SAB No. 107 contains interpretive guidance related to the interaction between Statement 123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations, as well as provides the staff’s views regarding the valuation of share-based payment transactions. Effective July 3, 2005, we adopted the fair-value recognition provisions of Statement 123(R) and SAB No. 107 using the modified-prospective transition method; therefore, prior periods have not been restated. See Note 13, Stock Options and Incentive Stock Awards, for further information on the implementation of SAB No. 107.
In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47,Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations(“Interpretation 47”), which is an interpretation of Statement No. 143,Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations(“SFAS 143”). Interpretation 47 clarifies terminology within SFAS 143 and requires an entity to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liability’s fair value can be reasonably estimated. Interpretation was effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. We evaluated our asset retirement obligations, determining we had no significant obligations with respect to conditional asset retirements. Accordingly, the adoption of Interpretation 47 did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement No. 154,Accounting Changes and Error Corrections(“SFAS 154”). This Statement requires retrospective application for voluntary changes in accounting principle unless it is impracticable to do so. Statement 154’s retrospective application requirement replaces APB Opinion No. 20’s,Accounting Changes,requirement to recognize most voluntary changes in accounting principle by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Effective July 3, 2005, we early adopted the accounting changes and corrections of errors provisions contained in Statement 154. For the year ended July 1, 2006, we determined that we had no accounting changes or corrections of errors that would be impacted by this statement. Accordingly, the adoption of Statement 154 did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“Interpretation 48”). Interpretation 48 provides clarifying guidance on the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109,Accounting for Income Taxesand prescribes recognition and measurement guidance in determining amounts to be recorded in the financial statements. This Interpretation applies to all income basedincome-based tax items and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We expect to adopt Interpretation 48 on July 2,

2006. We are currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of Interpretation 48 will have on our financial position and results of operations butand do not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on our financial statements.
In September 2006, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108,Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements(“SAB 108”). SAB 108 provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of determining whether the current year’s financial statements are materially misstated. SAB 108 is effective for the fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities(“SFAS 159”), which permits companies to choose to measure certain financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The standard requires that unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected be reported in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS 159 will have on our financial position and results of operations and do not expect the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on our financial statements.

On August 22, 2005, Delta Apparel, Junkfood, and M. J. Soffe Co. refinanced Delta Apparel’s $42.75 million credit facility and consolidated M. J. Soffe Co.’s $38.5 million credit facility with it pursuant towe entered into a Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amended Loan Agreement”) with Wachovia Bank, National Association, (the successor by merger to Congress Financial Corporation (Southern)), as Agent, and the financial institutions named in the Amended Loan Agreement as Lenders.
On October 2, 2006, in conjunction with the acquisition of FunTees, we entered into the First Amendment to the Amended Loan Agreement. Pursuant to the First Amendment, Wachovia N. A. consented to the acquisition of FunTees and the assets of FunTees were included as collateral on the loan. In addition, the First Amendment eliminated certain limitations or restrictions with regards to dividend payments and stock repurchases.
On February 26, 2007, we entered into the Second Amendment to the Amended Loan Agreement. The Second Amendment increased our line of credit to $90 million.
Pursuant to the Amended Loan Agreement, Delta Apparel, Junkfood, and M. J. Soffe Co. became co-borrowers under a singleour credit facility the maturity of the loans under the credit facility was extended to August 2008, and theprovides a line of credit available to us was increased to $85of $90 million (subject to borrowing base limitations based on the value and type of collateral provided), which represents an increase of $3.75 million that matures in the aggregate amount that was available under the prior two credit facilities.
Within the credit facility, there is a Fixed Asset Loan Amortization Amount requiring monthly installment payments of $0.3 million, which reduces the amount of availability under the facility. The Fixed Asset Loan Amortization Amount under the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement was $16.8 million initially. At July 1, 2006, the Fixed Asset Loan Amortization Amount was $14.2 million.
August 2008. The credit facility is secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the real and personal property of Delta Apparel, Junkfood, and M. J. Soffe Co. All loans under the credit agreement bear interest at rates based on an adjusted LIBOR raterates plus an applicable margin or the bank’s prime rate plus an applicable margin. Within the credit facility, there is a Fixed Asset Loan Amortization Amount requiring monthly installment payments of $0.2 million, which reduces the amount of availability under the facility. Under the credit facility, after subtracting the Fixed Asset Loan Amortization Amounts, we were able to borrow up to $70.8$74.8 million subject to borrowing base limitations based on the accounts receivable and inventory levels. Annual facility fees were .25% of the amount by which $70.8$90.0 million exceeds the average daily principal balance of the outstanding loans and letter of credit accommodations during the immediately preceding month. At June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006 we had the ability to borrow an additional $19.3 million and $32.4 million, respectively, under the credit facility.
Our credit facility contains limitations on cash dividends. We are allowed to make cash dividends in amounts such that the aggregate amount paid to shareholders since May 16, 2000 does not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of our cumulative net

F- 16


income calculated from May 16, 2000 to the date of determination. At June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006 there was $10.6 million and $10.8 million, respectively, of retained earnings free of restrictions for the payment of dividends. The credit facility contains limitations on, or prohibitions of, cash dividends, stock purchases,repurchases, related party transactions, mergers, acquisitions, sales of assets, indebtedness and investments. We were allowed to make purchases of our own stock up to an aggregate of $23.0 million provided that no event of default existed or would result from that action and after the purchase at least $3.0 million remains available to borrow under the facility.
The credit facility contains a subjective acceleration clause and a “springing” lockbox arrangement (as defined in EITF 95-22), whereby remittances from customers will be forwarded to our general bank account and will not reduce the outstanding debt until and unless a specified event or an event of default occurs. Pursuant to EITF 95-22, we will classify borrowings under the new facility as noncurrentnon-current debt.

F- 17


In addition to the credit facility with Wachovia Bank, National Association, we have a seller note payable to the former Junkfood shareholders pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of August 22, 2005. The $2.5 million seller note bears interest at 9%, is payable quarterly, and requires annual principal payments of $500, $750,$750,000 and $1,250 for each of$1.25 million in the periods ending August 22, 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively. At July 1, 2006,June 30, 2007, we had $2.5$2.0 million outstanding under the note.
In conjunctionthe fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007 we entered into a loan agreement with Banco Ficohsa, a Honduran bank, for our capital expansion in Honduras. The loan is secured by a first-priority lien on the acquisitionassets of Junkfoodour Honduran operations. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 2%, is payable monthly, has a five year term and entry into the Amended Loan Agreement,is denominated in U. S. dollars. At June 30, 2007, we had $3.0 million outstanding on August 23, 2005, M. J. Soffe Co. paid approximately $5 million to satisfy in full the Promissory Note of M. J. Soffe Co. dated as of October 3, 2003, which was made in connection with our acquisition of M. J. Soffe Co. The Promissory Note was made in favor of the Soffe sellers, James F. Soffe, John D.

NOTE 9—SALE OF YARN MANUFACTURING PLANT
On January 5, 2005, we completed the sale of our yarn manufacturing plant in Edgefield, South Carolina to Parkdale America, LLC for $10 million in cash. In conjunction with the sale transaction, we entered into a five-year agreement with Parkdale to supply our yarn requirements. During this five-year period, we will purchase exclusively from Parkdale all yarn required by Delta Apparel and our wholly owned subsidiary, M. J. Soffe Co.,subsidiaries for use in our manufacturing operations (excluding yarns that Parkdale did not manufacture as of the date of the agreement in the ordinary course of its business)business or due to temporary Parkdale capacity restraints). The purchase price of yarn is based upon the cost of cotton plus a fixed conversion cost.
The sale of the Edgefield Plant resulted in a pre-tax financial gain of $3.6 million in the fiscal year ended July 2, 2005.

As of June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006, we had operating loss carryforwards of approximately $7.5 million and $7.5 million, respectively, for state purposes. These carryforwards expire at various intervals through 2020. Our deferred tax asset related to state net operating loss carryforwards is reduced by a valuation allowance to result in deferred tax assets we consider more likely than not to be realized. There was noThe net change in the total valuation allowance for the year ended July 1, 2006.June 30, 2007 was an

increase of $109,000. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.
During the year ended July 2, 2005, we decided to indefinitely reinvest our foreign earnings in Honduras. Therefore, we reversed the $0.7 million tax liability associated with the foreign earnings, as no provision for the U. S. federal and state tax ramifications of repatriating the earnings is necessary.

NOTE 12—EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
We sponsor and maintain a 401(k) retirement savings plan (the “401(k) Plan”) for our employees who meet certain service and age requirements. The 401(k) Plan permits participants to make pre-tax contributions by salary reduction pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The 401(k) Plan provides for us to make a guaranteed match of the employee’s contributions. We contributed approximately $651, $450$846,000, $651,000 and $323$450,000 to the 401(k) Plan during fiscal years 2007, 2006, 2005 and 2004,2005, respectively.
During fiscal year 2005, our Board of Directors terminated our nonqualified deferred compensation plans pursuant to the exit strategy guidelines of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. Deferred compensation plans had been maintained to permit certain management employees to defer a portion of their compensation. Under the deferred compensation plan available to the Delta employees, deferred compensation accounts were credited with interest at a fixed interest rate. Under the deferred compensation plan available for the Soffe employees, deemed investment earnings based upon the stock market were added to each participant’s account. We expensed approximately $450, and $383$450,000 related to the deferred compensation plans during fiscal years 2005, and 2004, respectively.year 2005. We terminated both deferred compensation plans in June 2005 for a total cash disbursement of $6.2 million, which was partially offset by $2.0 million received from the termination of life insurance policies that had been maintained in conjunction with the deferred compensation plans.
We provide postretirement life insurance benefits for certain retired employees. The plan is noncontributory and is unfunded. Benefits and expenses are paid from our general assets as they are incurred. All of the employees in the plan are fully vested and the plan was closed to new employees in 1990. The discount rate used in determining the liability was 5.15%, 5.15% and 7.25% for fiscal years 2007, 2006 2005 and 2004 respectively.2005.

NOTE 13—STOCK OPTIONS AND INCENTIVE STOCK AWARDS
Effective in June 2000, we established the Delta Apparel Stock Option Plan (the “Option Plan”) and the Delta Apparel Incentive Stock Award Plan (the “Award Plan”). Effective July 3, 2005, we adopted the fair-value recognition provisions of Statement 123(R) and the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) using the modified-prospective transition method; therefore, prior periods have not been restated. Compensation cost recognized during the year ended July 1, 2006 includes compensation cost for all share-based payments granted, but not yet vested as of July 3, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of Statement 123, and compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequentPrior to July 3, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of Statement 123(R).

F- 20


Prior to July 2, 2005, we accounted for these plans under Statement 123. As permitted under this standard, compensation cost was recognized using the intrinsic value method described in APB 25 and related Interpretations. Effective July 3, 2005, we adopted the fair-value recognition provisions of Statement 123(R) and the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) using the modified-prospective transition method; therefore, prior periods have not been restated. Compensation cost recognized for the year endedsubsequent to July 1, 20062, 2005, includes compensation cost for all share-based payments granted, but not yet vested as of July 3,2, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of Statement 123, and compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to July 3, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of Statement 123(R).
Option Plan
Under the Option Plan, we authorized the grant of options for up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock. Options are granted by the compensation grants committee of our board of directors to officers and key and middle level executives for the purchase of our stock at prices not less than the fair market value of the shares on the dates of grant, with an exercise term (as determined by the Compensation Committee) not to exceed 10 years. The Compensation Committee determines the vesting period for our stock options. Generally, such stock options become exercisable over four years. Certain option awards provide for accelerated vesting upon meeting specific retirement, death or disability criteria. During the yearyears ended June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006, we granted options for 88,000 and 734,000 shares, respectively, of our common stock. At June 30, 2007, we had 437,000 shares available for grant under the Option Plan.
No stock-based compensation cost related to stock options was recognized in the statementsstatement of income for the yearsyear ended July 2, 2005 and July 3, 2004, as all options granted in these periods had an exercise price equal to the market price at the date of grant. As a result of adopting Statement 123(R), our operating income for theeach year ended June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006 is $0.8 million lower than if we had continued to account for stock-based compensation under APB No. 25. Compensation expense is allocated between our cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expense line items ofin our statements of income on a straight-line basis over the vesting periods. Associated with the compensation cost for the Option Plan are recognized tax benefits of $0.3 million for each fiscal year 2007 and 2006.
The following table summarizes the weighted average grant date fair values and assumptions that were used to estimate the grant date fair values of the options granted during the first quarter of fiscal years 2006 and 2005 were estimated on the dates of their grants using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model on the basis of the following assumptions:share options granted during the fiscal years ended 2007, 2006 and 2005:
                    
 2006 2005  2007 2006 2005
Risk-free interest rate  4.00%  3.46%  4.84%  4.00%  3.46%
Expected life           7 yrs                10 yrs 6 yrs 7 yrs 10 yrs
Expected volatility  35.8%  35.0%  31.7%  35.8%  35.0%
Expected dividend yield  1.30%  1.30%  1.13%  1.30%  1.30%
Weighted-average fair value of options granted $5.182 $4.234 
Weighted-average per share fair value of options granted $5.29 $5.18 $4.23 
The risk-free interest rate for the periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. In fiscal year 2005, the expected life was based on historical exercises and terminations. Due to minimal exercising of stock options historically, in 2007 and 2006, we have estimated the expected life of options granted to be the midpoint between the average vesting term and the contractual term as permitted under SAB 107. The expected volatility for the periods withof the expected life of the option is determined using historical volatilities based on historical stock prices. The expected dividend yield is based on our annual dividend in relation to our historical average stock price.

The total intrinsic value of options underexercised during the Option Plan were $0.5 million.years ended June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006 was $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Shares are issued from treasury stock upon exercise of the options. Prior to the adoption of Statement 123(R), we presented all tax benefits of deductions resulting from the exercise of stock options as operating cash flows in the statements of cash flows. Statement 123(R) requires that cash flows from tax benefits attributable to tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options (excess tax benefits) be classified as financing cash flows. We did not have any significant excess tax benefits for the fiscal year ended July 1,years 2007 and 2006.

In December 2005, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 123R-3 (“FSP123R”),Transition Election Related to Accounting for the Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards, which provides for a simplified method of calculating the initial pool of excess tax benefits upon adoption of Statement 123(R). The Option Plan meets the requirements of IRC Section 422 to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option (“ISO”). plan. We had no knowledge of any disqualifying dispositions, and accordingly, we did not have any tax deductions and there were no excess tax benefits, associated with our Option Plan. As such, we havehad no initial pool of excess tax benefits upon the adoption of Statement 123(R).
During fiscal year 2006, we have recorded expense associated with our Option Plan pursuant to Statement 123(R). Prior to March 2006 our Option Plan qualified as an ISO, and therefore the related expense was not tax deductible and resulted in a

F- 22


permanent tax difference, thus increasing our effective income tax rate. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2006 we amended all of our outstanding unvested options to convert them from ISO options to nonqualified options. Prior to March 2006 our Option Plan qualified as an ISO plan, and therefore the related expense was not tax deductible and resulted in a permanent tax difference, thus increasing our effective income tax rate. Upon the future exercise of these options we will be able record a tax benefit equal to the lesser of the actual benefit of the tax deduction or the cumulative compensation cost previously recognized in earnings. Any excess benefit will be recognized as an increase to additional paid-in capital.

Award Plan
Under the Award Plan, the compensation grants committee of our board of directors has the discretion to grant awards for up to an aggregate maximum of 800,000 shares of common stock. The Award Plan authorizes the compensation grants committee to grant to our officers and key and middle level executives rights to acquire shares at a cash purchase price of $0.01 per share. The Award Plan contains certain provisions that require it to be accounted for as a liability under Statement 123(R) and previously required it to be accounted for as a variable plan under APB 25. In fiscal year 2003, a three-year performance award was granted. These awards vested when we filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2005 based on the achievement of performance criteria for the three-year period ended July 2, 2005. In fiscal year 2006, awards for 125,000 shares of our common stock were granted. These awards will vest upon the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2007 based on the achievement of performance criteria for the two-year period ended June 30, 2007. Awards provide for accelerated vesting upon meeting specific retirement, death or disability criteria. At June 30, 2007, we had 209,342 shares available for grant under the Award Plan. Compensation expense recorded under the Award Plan was $2,154, $1,864$0.9 million, $2.2 million and $1,835$1.9 million in fiscal years 2007, 2006 2005 and 2004,2005, respectively. Compensation expense is allocated between our cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expense line items of our statements of income on a straight-line basis over the vesting periods.as incurred.
A summary of the status of our nonvested awards as of July 1, 2006,June 30, 2007, and changes during the year ended July 1, 2006,June 30, 2007, is presented below:

NOTE 14—BUSINESS SEGMENTS
We operate our business in two distinct segments: Activewear Apparel and Retail-Ready Apparel. Although the two segments are similar in their production processes and regulatory environment, they are distinct in their economic characteristics, products and distribution methods.
The Activewear Apparel segment comprises our business units primarily focused on garment styles that are characterized by low fashion risk. We market, distribute and manufacture unembellished knit apparel under the brands of “Delta Pro Weight®Weight®”, “Delta Magnum Weight™” and “Quail Hollow™.” The products are primarily sold to screen printing companies. In addition, we manufacture products under private labels for retailers, corporate industry programs and sports licensed apparel marketers. The unembellished and embellished private label apparel products, including custom knit t-shirts to major branded sportswear companies, that Fun-Tees manufactures will bethe former FunTees operations manufacture are included in the Activewear Apparel segment upon our anticipatedsince the acquisition on or around October 2, 2006.
The Retail-Ready Apparel segment comprises our business units primarily focused on more specialized apparel garments to meet consumer preferences and fashion trends. These embellished and unembellished products are sold through specialty and boutique stores, high-end and mid-tier retail stores and sporting goods stores. In addition to these retail channels, we also supply college bookstores and produce products for the U.S. Military. Junkfood Clothing Company is included in the Retail-Ready Apparel segment as of August 22, 2005. Our products in this segment are marketed under the “Soffe®“Soffe®” label, and as of October 3, 2005, includes the “Intensity Athletics®Athletics®” label and, as of August 22, 2005, the “Junkfood®“Junkfood®”, “Junk Mail®” and “Sweet and Sour®Sour®” labels.

NOTE 15—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
(a) Litigation
On May 17, 2006, adversary proceedings were filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina against both Delta Apparel, Inc. and M. J. Soffe Co. in which the bankruptcy trustee, on behalf of the debtor National Gas Distributors, LLC, alleges that Delta and Soffe each received avoidable “transfers” of property from the debtor. The amount of the claim is approximately $0.7 million plus interest against Delta, and approximately $0.2 million plus interest against

F- 23


Soffe. We contend that the claims of the trustee have no merit, and have filed counterclaims, totaling approximately $0.4 million, in the adversary proceedings.
In addition, at times we are a party to various legal claims, actions and complaints. We believe that, as a result of legal defenses, insurance arrangements, and indemnification provisions with parties believed to be financially capable, any such actions should not have a material effect on our operations, financial condition, or liquidity.

F- 24


(b) Purchase Contracts
We have entered into agreements, and have fixed prices, to purchase natural gas, yarn, finished fabric and finished apparel products for use in our manufacturing operations. At July 1, 2006,June 30, 2007, minimum payments under these contracts were as follows:follows (in thousands):
        
Natural gas 614  1,404 
Yarn 24,800  19,717 
Finished fabric 298  602 
Finished apparel products 2,573  5,503 
      
 $28,285  $27,226 
      
(c) Letters of Credit
As of July 1, 2006,June 30, 2007, we had outstanding standby letters of credit totaling $575$575,000 and outstanding commercial letters of credit totaling $346.$1.6 million.
NOTE 16—RESTRUCTURING PLAN
On July 18, 2007, we announced plans to restructure our U.S. textile operations by closing our manufacturing facility in Fayette, Alabama, as part of our overall restructuring of our textile manufacturing operations. Related to this restructuring plan, in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007, we evaluated the ongoing value of our production building and associated machinery, equipment and parts in Fayette. Based on this evaluation, we concluded that the long-lived assets at the Fayette plant with a carrying value of $1.9 million were no longer recoverable and were in fact impaired, and therefore wrote them down to their estimated fair value of $0.4 million. Fair value was based on expected future cash flows to be generated. This resulted in a $1.5 million write-down of the assets which is reflected on the income statement line item “Restructuring costs.” These assets are included in the Activewear Apparel segment. The restructuring plan also includes fiscal year 2007 charges to cost of sales of $5.4 million related to expensing excess manufacturing costs associated with the integration of the FunTees business into our existing Maiden, NC facility. Additionally, we expect to incur $3.1 million in fiscal year 2008 associated with the completion of the restructuring plan, with charges of $0.8 million for the closing of the facility and $2.3 million associated with the start-up of Ceiba Textiles. These charges will be recorded in our Activewear segment.
NOTE 17—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On October 3, 2004,2003, we entered into a lease agreement by and between M. J. Soffe Co. and Middle Road Properties, LLC to lease the distribution center that was used by M. J. Soffe Co. prior to its acquisition by us. The previous shareholders of M. J. Soffe Co. own Middle Road Properties, LLC. The lease commenced on October 3, 2003 and expires on October 2, 2008, with an option to extend the lease for an additional five years. The annual base rent on the building is $565$566,000 per year.

NOTE 18—19—STOCK SPLIT
On April 21, 2005, our Board of Directors approved a 2-for-1 stock split of our common stock.

NOTE 19—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS20—EXTRAORDINARY GAIN
On August 17, 2006, we signed an asset purchase agreement to acquire substantially all of the net assets of privately held Fun-Tees, Inc. (“Fun-Tees”). The acquisition is expected to close on or around October 2, 2006, subject to the satisfaction of various closing conditions. The purchase price for the transaction is $20 million in cash, subject to certain post-closing adjustments, including an adjustment based on the actual working capital purchased. We expect to finance the purchase through an amendment to our asset-based secured revolving credit facility. The agreement can be terminated under various

F- 25


circumstances, including, among others, by us if we are unable to obtain satisfactory financing and by either party if the transaction fails to close by October 31, 2006.
Fun-Tees, Inc. is in the business of designing, manufacturing, marketing, and selling private labeled custom knit t-shirts primarily to major branded sportswear companies. We believe that the strength of Fun-Tees is its flexibility to custom-manufacture products in a variety of garment styles, fabrics and colors. Fun-Tees was founded in 1972 and is headquartered in Concord, North Carolina. We expect to integrate the Fun-Tees textile operations into our Maiden, North Carolina facility during fiscal year 2007 and to maintain the Fun-Tees off-shore cutting, sewing and decorating facilities located in El Salvador and Campeche, Mexico.
We have also begun our offshore textile manufacturing initiative in which we plan to open Ceiba Textiles, a state-of-the-art facility located in the Green Valley Industrial Park in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. The facility will knit, dye, finish, cut and sew fabrics into apparel, primarily for the Activewear segment of our business. We expect the facility will be completed during fiscal year 2007 and production will begin duringDuring the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. Production levels are expected2007, we recorded an extraordinary gain associated with the final earn-out payment made to build to 500,000 pounds per week during fiscal year 2008 and increase to one million pounds per weekthe former M.

We expect the total capital investment in Ceiba Textiles will be approximately $25 million, which includes the cost of constructing the building, whichOctober 2003, we will be leasing from the Green Valley Industrial Park. In addition to transferring some of our existing equipment from the United States to Honduras, we expect to invest approximately $15 million over the next three years in new equipmentrecorded a liability for the facility.contingent earn-out payments. Based on the final outcome of the payments, we had a $1.1 million accrual remaining. The new capital is expected to be financed through a local Honduran bank.reversal of this accrual created an extraordinary gain, net of taxes, of $0.7 million.
