VF CORPORATION

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

Note A – Basis of Presentation

VF Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries (“VF”) operate and report using a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31 of each year. Similarly, the fiscal second quarter ends on the Saturday closest to June 30. For presentation purposes herein, all references to periods ended June 2007, December 2006 and June 2006 relate to the fiscal periods ended on June 30, 2007, December 30, 2006 and July 1, 2006, respectively.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. Similarly, the December 2006 consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to make a fair statement of the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of VF for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three months and six months ended June 2007 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 29, 2007. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in VF’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 2006 (“2006 Form 10-K”).

In December 2006, management and the Board of Directors decided to dispose of VF’s intimate apparel business consisting of its domestic and international women’s intimate apparel business units. Accordingly, the Consolidated Statements of Income and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have been reclassified to present the intimate apparel business as discontinued operations for all periods. General interest expense has not been allocated to the discontinued operations. Similarly, the assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations held for sale have been separately presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts presented herein, unless otherwise stated, relate to continuing operations. See Note C.

Note B — Changes in Accounting Policies

Defined benefit pension plans – In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Statement No. 158,Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans(“Statement 158”). Statement 158, effective as of December 2006, requires that the funded status of a defined benefit plan, measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and projected benefit obligations, be recorded in the balance sheet. Statement 158 also requires that gains and losses for differences between actuarial assumptions and actual results and that unrecognized prior service costs be recorded as components of accumulated other comprehensive income. In accordance with Statement 158, financial statements prior to December 2006 were not restated.

Under the prior accounting rules, VF had been using a September measurement date for valuation of its defined benefit pension plans’ assets and projected benefit obligations for its December year-end balance sheet. Under Statement 158, VF was required to change its September measurement date to a December year-end measurement date by no later than December 2008. VF elected, effective at the beginning of 2007, to change its plans’ measurement date to December. In accordance with Statement 158, pension expense of

6

$3.8 million, net of $2.4 million income tax effect, for the period October to December 2006 (determined using the September 2006 measurement date) was recorded as a charge to Retained Earnings at the beginning of 2007. Plan assets, projected benefit obligations, adjustments to other comprehensive income, and expense in the 2007 financial statements were determined using the beginning of 2007 measurement date. See Note H.

Accrued income taxes – In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109(“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income tax positions. FIN 48 prescribes the recognition threshold an income tax provision is required to meet before being recorded in the financial statements and provides guidance on classification and disclosures of tax positions. VF adopted FIN 48 in the first quarter of 2007 by recording a cumulative effect charge of $2.3 million, net of $0.2 million income tax effect, to Retained Earnings at the beginning of 2007 in accordance with the provisions of FIN 48. See Note L.

Note C–Acquisitions

On January 26, 2007, VF acquired Eagle Creek, Inc. (“Eagle Creek”), maker ofEagle Creek^â brand adventure travel gear that includes accessories, luggage and daypacks. Eagle Creek, with revenues of $30 million in its latest fiscal year, will be operated as part of the Outdoor coalition. On February 28, 2007, VF acquired substantially all the operating assets of Majestic Athletic, Inc. (“Majestic”) and related companies. Majestic currently holds on-field uniform rights for all 30 major league baseball teams, including exclusively supplying each team with on-fieldMLB Authentic Collection™ outerwear, batting practice jerseys, T-shirts, shorts and fleece. Majestic markets baseball-related consumer apparel to numerous wholesale accounts. Majestic, with 2006 revenues of $179 million, will be operated as part of the Imagewear coalition’s Activewear division. The Eagle Creek and Majestic acquisitions are consistent with VF’s goal of acquiring strong lifestyle brands that have global growth potential within their target markets. On April 2, 2007, VF acquired the license-related assets of a former licensee who had rights to market VF’sThe North Face^â brand in China and Nepal (“The North Face – China”). Because the preexisting license was an arms-length contract, no settlement gain or loss was recognized at the acquisition date. This acquisition gives VF control of one of its leading brands in one of the fastest growing markets in the world. Eagle Creek, Majestic and The North Face – China are together referred to as the “2007 Acquisitions.”

The total cash purchase price for the 2007 Acquisitions was $178.6 million. Management, with assistance from independent valuation specialists, has allocated the purchase price to acquired tangible and intangible assets, and assumed liabilities, based on their respective fair values. The purchase price allocations are substantially complete, except for income tax and certain other matters. Management expects to complete the purchase price allocations during the second half of 2007.

The purchase price of Eagle Creek and The North Face – China exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired. The excess was recorded as Goodwill, which was attributed to expected growth rates and profitability of the acquired businesses, the ability to expand theEagle Creek^® brand globally andThe North Face^® brand in Asia, and expected synergies with existing VF operations. Contingent consideration for Eagle Creek is payable at the end of 2008 and 2009 based on a measure of profitability over those periods. Any contingent consideration earned will be recorded as additional Goodwill. In the Majestic acquisition, the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeded the purchase price by $14.0 million. Since there is contingent consideration based on growth in revenues that may result in the recognition of additional cost at the end of 2007, 2008 and 2009, the maximum amount of contingent consideration was recorded as a deferred credit of $1.5 million in Accrued Liabilities and $8.5 million in Other Liabilities. The remaining $4.0 million excess fair value was applied to reduce noncurrent assets on a pro rata basis. When the contingent consideration is known, any amount of payments less than the $10.0 million maximum will be recognized as a pro rata reduction of amounts initially assigned to noncurrent assets.

7

TheEagle Creek^â andMajestic^â trademarks and tradenames, which management believes have indefinite lives, have been valued at $18.4 million. Amounts assigned to amortizable intangible assets for the 2007 Acquisitions totaled $85.8 million and consisted primarily of $49.0 million of licensing contracts and $36.5 million of customer relationships. Licensing contracts are being amortized using straight-line and accelerated methods over their estimated weighted average useful lives of 18 years, and customer relationships are being amortized using accelerated methods over their estimated weighted average useful lives of 15 years.

Operating results of the 2007 Acquisitions have been included in the consolidated financial statements since their respective acquisition dates. Pro forma operating results for the 2007 and 2006 acquisitions, for periods prior to their respective dates of acquisition, are not provided because the amounts are not significant.

Note D – Discontinued Operations; Sale ofH.I.S^® Brand

In December 2006, management and the Board of Directors decided to exit the women’s intimate apparel business. VF entered into a definitive agreement on January 22, 2007 to sell all of its domestic and international women’s intimate apparel business units (formerly referred to as the Intimate Apparel Coalition, a reportable business segment). The transaction is consistent with VF’s stated objective of focusing on lifestyle businesses having higher growth and profit potential. The results of operations and cash flows of the intimate apparel business are separately presented as discontinued operations for all periods in accordance with FASB Statement No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets(“Statement 144”). Similarly, the assets and liabilities of this business have been reclassified and reported as held for sale for all periods presented.

VF recorded a charge of $42.2 million in 2006, computed in accordance with Statement 144, for the difference between the recorded book value of the intimate apparel business and the expected net sales proceeds. The recorded book value included $32.0 million of foreign currency translation losses, net of income tax benefit, deferred in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). The impact of the $42.2 million charge and a partial pension plan curtailment charge of $5.6 million, less income tax benefit of $10.9 million, resulted in an estimated loss on disposal of $36.8 million ($0.33 per share) in 2006. Included in the determination of the $42.2 million impairment charge was a $17.2 million unrealized gain on an investment in marketable securities of one of our intimate apparel suppliers.

The sale closed on April 1, 2007, with net sales proceeds received in the second quarter of $348.7 million plus $28.8 million related to the business unit’s Cash and Equivalents. The transaction excluded the marketable securities discussed above, which remained unsold at the end of the second quarter. Because the anticipated gain on these securities will not be recognized until sold, the loss on disposal was increased by the amount of the unrealized gain included in the recorded 2006 impairment. Accordingly, in the second quarter, the loss on disposal was increased by $24.3 million ($0.21 per share) consisting of (i) a $17.2 million loss related to the unsold marketable securities, (ii) finalization of the purchase price allocation for income tax purposes and (iii) final determination of the sales price in June 2007. Since the marketable securities were unsold at the end of the second quarter, they continue to be classified as available for sale and recorded at market value, with their unrealized appreciation of $13.9 million recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. Future adjustments to the loss on disposal will result from the sale of the marketable securities and the impact, if any, of settling retained liabilities. All adjustments to the loss on disposal will be recorded when realized.

Summarized operating results for the discontinued intimate apparel business are as follows:

On June 29, 2007, VF sold certainH.I.S^®trademarks and related intellectual property for $11.4 million.H.I.S^®is a female jeans and casual apparel brand marketed primarily in Germany. Remaining inventories and other operating assets of theH.I.S^® brand (which are not material) will be liquidated through the end of the year. Net foreign currency translation gains totaling $5.8 million on theH.I.S^®net operating assets, previously deferred in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, are being recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income as the sale and liquidation proceeds are realized. The sale proceeds and recognition of the deferred foreign currency translation gains, less employee termination and other exit costs, resulted in a $7.5 million gain, recorded as $2.3 million of additional expense in Cost of goods sold and a reduction of Marketing, administrative and general expenses of $9.8 million in the second quarter. Revenues of theH.I.S^®brand totaled $14 million in the first half of 2007 and $34 million and $45 million annually in 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Note G – Long-term Debt

At June 2007, there was $127.9 million in borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit portion of the international bank credit agreement. These short-term notes can be continued until October 2010. Of this

11

amount, $67.3 million was classified as Long-term Debt because VF has the ability and intent to retain that amount as outstanding for the next 12 months.

Note H–Pension Plans

As discussed in Note B, VF adopted the balance sheet provisions of Statement 158 at the end of 2006 but continued to use a September 2006 measurement date, as permitted by the prior accounting rules. Effective at the beginning of 2007, VF elected to early adopt the measurement date provisions of Statement 158 by changing its annual measurement date from September to December. Accordingly, VF, along with its independent actuary, prepared a valuation of its pension plans’ assets and benefit obligations as of the beginning of 2007. The following summarizes the funded status of the plans included in the June 2007 balance sheet as measured at the beginning of 2007, compared with the funded status as reported in the December 2006 balance sheet (based on the September 30, 2006 valuation):

During the first half of 2007, VF made contributions totaling $1.6 million to fund benefit payments for the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”). VF currently anticipates making an additional $4.5 million of contributions to fund benefit payments for the SERP during the remainder of 2007. VF is not required under applicable regulations, and does not currently intend, to make a contribution to the qualified pension plan during 2007.

Note I – Business Segment Information

VF’s businesses are grouped into four product categories, and by brands within those product categories, for management and internal financial reporting purposes. These groupings of businesses within VF are referred to as “coalitions.” These coalitions represent VF’s reportable business segments.

Note K–Stock-based Compensation

During the first quarter of 2007, VF granted options for 1,708,150 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $76.10, equal to the market value of VF Common Stock on the date of grant. The options vest in equal annual installments over a three year period. The fair value of these options was estimated using a lattice valuation model for employee groups having similar exercise behaviors, with the following assumptions: expected volatility ranging from 22% to 30%, with a weighted average of 24%; expected term of 4.7 to 7.3 years; expected dividend yield of 3.2%; and risk-free interest rate ranging from 5.2% at six months to 4.8% at 10 years. The resulting weighted average fair value of these options at the date of grant was $16.80 per option.

Also during the first quarter of 2007, VF granted 238,680 performance-based restricted stock units. Participants are eligible to receive shares of VF Common Stock at the end of a three year performance period. The actual number of shares, if any, that will be earned will be based on VF’s performance over that period. The grant date fair value of the restricted stock units was $77.00 per unit.

Note L – Income Taxes

VF files a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return, as well as separate and combined income tax returns in numerous state and foreign jurisdictions. With limited exceptions, VF is not subject to examination by tax authorities for years prior to 2001. In the United States, Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) examinations for tax years 1995 through 1999 are tentatively agreed upon, the statutes of limitations have expired for tax years 2000 and 2001, and tax years 2002 and 2003 are in the appeals process with the IRS. In addition, tax years 1998 to 2002 are under examination by the State of North Carolina.

As discussed in Note B, VF adopted FIN 48 effective at the beginning of 2007. In accordance with the new rules, VF recognized (i) a decrease of $0.5 million in the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits, (ii) a charge of $2.3 million, net of a $0.2 million income tax effect, to Retained Earnings and (iii) a reduction of $2.8 million of Goodwill. As of the beginning of 2007, VF had recognized total liabilities of $113.0 million for unrecognized income tax benefits, which included $11.6 million of interest (net of tax benefit). The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect income tax expense in future periods was $72.0 million, which included interest of $9.6 million (net of tax benefit).

16

During the first quarter of 2007, the amount of unrecognized income tax benefits was decreased by $6.2 million due to a favorable audit outcome on certain matters outside of the United States related to an acquired business for years prior to its acquisition by VF. Accordingly, the income tax benefit associated with the decrease in the unrecognized tax benefit was recorded as a reduction of Goodwill associated with the acquisition. Similarly during the second quarter of 2007, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits was reduced by $1.8 million, with a corresponding reduction in deferred income tax assets, due to settlement of a tax audit. Neither of these reductions affected Net Income. During the remainder of 2007, management believes that it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized income tax benefits may decrease by an additional $13 million, which includes $10 million that would reduce income tax expense, due primarily to settlement of tax audits and expiration of statutes of limitations.

Note N – Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157,Fair Value Measurements(“Statement 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Statement 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of Statement 157 are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. VF is currently evaluating the impact of adopting Statement 157.

In February 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115(“Statement 159”). This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. VF is currently evaluating the impact of adopting Statement 159.

Note O – Subsequent Events

In July 2007, VF agreed to acquire Seven For All Mankind, LLC for $775 million in cash.7 For All Mankind^® is a rapidly growing premium denim-based lifestyle brand sold through luxury retail stores and upscale specialty boutiques and through the internet. In a separate transaction, VF agreed to acquire lucy activewear, inc. for $110 million in cash.lucy^® is a rapidly growing women’s activewear lifestyle brand sold through 50 company-owned retail stores and the internet. These transactions are subject to regulatory approval and other customary conditions and are expected to be completed during the third quarter. The acquisitions will be financed by existing cash balances, commercial paper borrowings and placement of long-term debt.

Also in July 2007, the VF Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.55 per share, payable on September 20, 2007 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 10, 2007.

Item 2 –Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

Highlights of the second quarter of 2007 included:

• Revenues, income and earnings per share from continuing operations for the second quarter were each at record levels.

• Revenues increased 12% over the prior year quarter to $1,517 million, driven by higher revenues across all of our business coalitions, with an 8% increase coming from organic growth and 4% from acquisitions.

• Income from continuing operations increased 18% to $105.8 million, compared with $89.6 million in the prior year quarter, resulting from the strong performance of our Outdoor and Jeanswear Coalitions and the benefit of the gain on sale of theH.I.S^® trademarks and related intellectual property discussed below. Earnings per share increased 16% to $0.93. (All per share amounts are presented on a diluted basis.)

• VF sold certainH.I.S^® trademarks and related intellectual property for $11.4 million. The sale benefited second quarter earnings by $0.04 per share.

• VF acquired the license-related operations of its former licensee who held the rights to marketThe North Face^® brand in China and Nepal. This acquisition and the first quarter 2007 acquisitions of Eagle Creek, Inc. (“Eagle Creek”) and substantially all the operating assets of Majestic Athletic, Inc. (“Majestic”) are collectively referred to as the “2007 Acquisitions.”

• VF completed the sale of its domestic and international intimate apparel business for $348.7 million in cash. The proceeds were used to fund the purchase of 4.1 million shares of VF Common Stock during the first half of 2007 for a total cost of $350.0 million.

Discontinued Operations

In December 2006, management and the Board of Directors decided to exit the women’s intimate apparel business. VF entered into a definitive agreement on January 22, 2007 to sell all of its domestic and international women’s intimate apparel business units (formerly referred to as the Intimate Apparel Coalition, a reportable business segment). The transaction, which closed on April 1, 2007, is consistent with VF’s stated objective of focusing on lifestyle businesses having higher growth and profit potential. The results of operations and cash flows of the intimate apparel business are separately presented as discontinued operations for all periods in accordance with FASB Statement No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets(“Statement 144”). Similarly, the assets and liabilities of this business have been reclassified and reported as held for sale for all periods presented.Unless otherwise stated, the remaining sections of this discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations relate only to continuing operations.

We recorded a charge of $42.2 million in 2006, computed in accordance with Statement 144, for the difference between the recorded book value of the intimate apparel business and the expected net sales proceeds. The impact of the $42.2 million charge and a partial pension plan curtailment charge of $5.6 million, less income tax benefit of $10.9 million, resulted in an estimated loss on disposal of $36.8 million ($0.33 per share) in 2006. Included in the determination of the $42.2 million impairment charge was a $17.2 million unrealized gain on an investment in marketable securities of one of our intimate apparel suppliers.

The sales transaction excluded these marketable securities, which remained unsold at the end of the second quarter. Because the anticipated gain on these securities will not be recognized until sold, the loss on disposal was increased by the amount of the unrealized gain included in the recorded 2006 impairment. Accordingly, in the second quarter, the loss on disposal was increased by $24.3 million ($0.21 per share) consisting of (i) a $17.2 million loss related to the unsold marketable securities, (ii) finalization of the

19

purchase price allocation for income tax purposes and (iii) final determination of the purchase price in June 2007.

Future adjustments to the loss on disposal will result from the sale of the marketable securities and the impact, if any, of settling retained liabilities. All adjustments to the loss on disposal will be recorded when realized. Management intends to complete the sale of the remaining intimate apparel assets and settle all remaining liabilities by the end of 2007.

See Note D to the consolidated financial statements.

Analysis of Results of Continuing Operations

       Consolidated Statements of Income

The following table presents a summary of the changes in our Total Revenues from 2006:

	Second Quarter		Six Months
	2007 Compared		2007 Compared
(In millions)	with 2006		with 2006
Total revenues - 2006	$	1,351	$	2,807
Organic growth		104		278
Acquisitions in current year		56		89
Acquisition in prior year (to anniversary date)		6		17
Total revenues - 2007	$	1,517	$	3,191

The increase in Total Revenues in the second quarter and first half of 2007 was due primarily to organic sales growth within the Outdoor and Jeanswear coalitions. The 2007 Acquisitions added revenues of $56 million in the second quarter and $89 million during the first six months of 2007. In addition, the joint venture in India, formed in 2006, contributed an additional $6 million in the 2007 quarter and $17 million in the six month period of 2007. Additional details on revenues are provided in the section titled “Information by Business Segment.”

Approximately 26% of Total Revenues in 2006 were in international markets. In translating foreign currencies into the U.S. dollar, a weaker U.S. dollar in relation to the functional currencies where VF conducts the majority of its international business (primarily the European euro countries) positively impacted revenue comparisons by $21 million in the second quarter of 2007 and $56 million in the first half of 2007, compared with the 2006 periods. The average translation rate for the euro was $1.32 per euro during the first half of 2007, compared with $1.22 during the first half of 2006. The U.S. dollar has continued to weaken in recent months, resulting in a translation rate of $1.35 per euro at the end of June 2007. Reported revenues for the remainder of 2007 would be positively affected by currency translation rates when compared with 2006 if the current translation rate were to continue.

The following table presents the percentage relationship to Total Revenues for components of our Consolidated Statements of Income:

20

	Three Months Ended June						Six Months Ended June
	2007			2006			2007			2006
Gross margin (total revenues less cost of goods sold)		42.9	%		43.3	%		43.2	%		43.3	%
Marketing, administrative and general expenses		31.8	%		32.6	%		31.2	%		31.5	%
Operating income		11.1	%		10.8	%		12.0	%		11.9	%

Gross margin as a percentage of Total Revenues for the second quarter of 2007 decreased 0.4% from the prior year quarter to 42.9%, with 0.2% due to restructuring charges related to theH.I.S^® sale and the remainder primarily driven by a less favorable business mix in the Imagewear coalition.

Marketing, Administrative and General Expenses as a percentage of Total Revenues decreased 0.8% in the second quarter of 2007 and 0.3% in the first six months of 2007 from the prior year periods, with 0.6% of the improvement in the quarter and all of the improvement in the first six months due to the net gain on theH.I.S^® sale.

Net Interest Expense decreased by $2.3 million in the quarter and by $2.1 million in the first half of 2007. Interest income increased $2.6 million in the first six months of 2007 due to an increase in interest rates and higher cash levels resulting primarily from the proceeds of the sale of the global intimate apparel business received in April 2007. Interest expense increased $0.5 million in the first half of 2007, reflecting higher interest rates on short-term borrowings in domestic and international markets. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding debt increased to 6.4% for the first six months of 2007 from 6.0% for the comparable period of 2006. Average interest-bearing debt outstanding totaled $812 for the first half of 2007 and $868 million for the comparable period of 2006.

The effective income tax rate was 34.1% for the first half of 2007 and 33.1% for the comparable period in 2006. The effective income tax rate for the second quarter and first half of 2007 was based on the expected rate of approximately 34% for the full year, adjusted for discrete events arising during the respective periods. The lower tax rate in the first half of 2006 resulted primarily from favorable tax audit settlements.

Income from Continuing Operations increased 18% to $105.8 million from $89.6 million in the second quarter of 2006. Earnings per share from continuing operations increased 16% to $0.93 from $0.80 in the prior year quarter. In the first six months of 2007, Income from Continuing Operations increased 15% to $239.9 million compared with $207.7 million in the prior year period, with earnings per share increasing 14% to $2.10 from $1.85. The lower percentage increases in earnings per share reflected the effect of greater diluted shares outstanding in the 2007 periods resulting from a higher level of stock option exercises and greater dilutive impact of stock-based compensation in 2007. The sale of theH.I.S^® trademarks and related intellectual property benefited the second quarter of 2007 by $0.04 per share. Remaining costs of $0.01 to $0.02 per share are expected to be recognized in the second half of 2007 related to the exit of theH.I.S^® brand. In addition, in translating foreign currencies into the U.S. dollar, there was a $0.01 favorable impact on earnings per share in the 2007 quarter and a $0.06 favorable impact on earnings per share in the 2007 six months compared with the prior year.

After considering the operating results of our discontinued global intimate apparel businesses and the loss on disposal of this business, we reported net income of $81.7 million for the second quarter of 2007, an 18% decrease from the prior year period.

          Information by Business Segment

VF’s businesses are grouped into four product categories, and by brands within those product categories, for management and internal financial reporting purposes. These groupings of businesses within VF are referred to as “coalitions.” These coalitions represent VF’s reportable business segments.

See Note I to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of our results of operations by coalition, along with a reconciliation of Coalition Profit to Income from Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes. Also, as explained in Note A to the Consolidated Financial Statements, amounts for 2006 have been reclassified to conform with the 2007 presentation.

The following tables present a summary of the changes in our Total Revenues by coalition for the second quarter and first six months of 2007:

	Second Quarter
(In millions)	Jeanswear		Outdoor		Imagewear			Sportswear		Other
Revenues - 2006	$	638	$	371	$	188		$	141	$	13

          Jeanswear:

Overall Jeanswear Coalition revenues increased 3% in the quarter, with revenues flat across all domestic branded businesses and a 13% increase in the combined international businesses led by continued strong performance of ourLee^âbrand in Europe and rapid growth in emerging markets such as China, Russia and India. For the six month period ended June 2007, Jeanswear Coalition revenues increased 6%, with domestic jeanswear revenues increasing 2% and international revenues increasing 14%. The joint venture in India contributed $6 million to revenues in the second quarter of 2007 and $17 million in the first six months of 2007. Foreign currency also positively impacted 2007 revenues by $10 million, or 1%, in the quarter and $25 million, or 2%, in the six month period.

22

Jeanswear Coalition Profit increased 14% in the second quarter of 2007, with operating margins increasing to 15.5% from 13.9% in the second quarter of 2006. In addition, operating margins increased to 16.3% in the first six months of 2007 from 15.8% in the prior period. Approximately 1.1% of the improvement in the quarter and all of the increase in the six month period were driven by theH.I.S^® sale. Operating margins in the second quarter of 2007 also benefited from restructuring actions taken in prior periods and reduced advertising spending.

          Outdoor:

Revenues in our Outdoor businesses increased 20% in the second quarter of 2007 and 30% in the six month period, compared with the prior year periods. Organic revenue growth was 18% in the second quarter of 2007 and 28% in the six month period, consisting of strong global unit volume gains ofThe North Face^â,Vans^â,Kipling^â,Reef^â,Napapijri^âandEastpak^â brands. The acquisition of Eagle Creek added $10 million to revenues in the quarter and $15 million in the six month period. Foreign currency translation positively impacted 2007 revenues by $11 million, or 3%, in the quarter and $31 million, or 4%, in the first six months.

Operating margins increased in the quarter to 11.9% from 11.4% in the prior year quarter, and margins for the six months ended June 2007 increased to 13.9% from 12.3% in the prior year period. The margin improvement in the quarter and six month period of 2007 was attributed to revenue growth, especially in our international operations where margins are higher. The six month period in 2007 benefited from improved leverage of certain operating expenses, including administrative, advertising, distribution and product development costs. Due to the seasonal nature of several of the businesses comprising this coalition, the level of first half profitability is not indicative of expected full year results.

          Imagewear:

Coalition Revenues increased 22% in the second quarter of 2007 and 16% for the six month period due to the Majestic acquisition, which added $45 million in the quarter and $72 million in the six month period. Revenues for the remainder of the Imagewear businesses were relatively flat in the quarter and down 3% in the six month period of 2007 due to large new program rollouts in the prior year that were not repeated, and the exit of our underperforming commodity fleece and T-shirt business. Operating margins declined to 11.3% from 15.4% in the prior year quarter and 12.7% from 15.5% for the six month period. These declines resulted from business and product mix changes and additional advertising spending in the current year, compared with very strong operating results in the prior year periods. Operating income and margin comparisons for the second half of the year are expected to improve.

          Sportswear:

Coalition Revenues increased 9% in the quarter and were flat for the six month period of 2007 compared with the prior year. Revenues in our coreNautica^â brand sportswear business increased 6% in the quarter, while revenues declined 4% for the six month period of 2007 due primarily to a shift in allowed shipping dates to most of the brand’s department store customers. OurKipling^â andJohn Varvatos^â businesses experienced double-digit gains in both periods. Operating margins were relatively consistent in the second quarter of 2007 and 2006, but declined to 9.5% from 12.6% for the six month period due primarily to increased retail and administrative spending in 2007 and continued investments to build our women’s sportswear business.

          Other:

The Other business segment consists of our VF Outlet business. VF Outlet’s retail sales and profit of non-VF products are reported in this business segment, while VF Outlet’s retail sales and profit of VF products are reported as part of the operating results of the respective coalitions. Prior to the second quarter of 2007, VF Outlet’s sales of intimate apparel products were reported as part of VF’s former Intimate Apparel Coalition presented as discontinued operations. The majority of VF Outlet’s intimate apparel sales during the second quarter were products acquired from VF’s discontinued intimate apparel business prior to its sale,

23

now reported in the Other business segment. Today, VF Outlet is obtaining intimate apparel products for future sale primarily from VF’s formerly owned intimate apparel business on an arms-length negotiated basis. The sale of the intimate apparel business did not include any VF product purchase commitments.

          Reconciliation of Coalition Profit to Income before Income Taxes:

There are two types of costs necessary to reconcile total Coalition Profit, as discussed in the preceding paragraphs, to Income from Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes. These costs are (i) Corporate and Other Expenses, discussed below, and (ii) Interest, Net, which was discussed in the previous “Consolidated Statements of Income” section.

Corporate and Other Expenses consist of corporate headquarters expenses that are not allocated to the coalitions and certain other expenses related to but not allocated to the coalitions for internal management reporting, including development costs for management information systems, certain costs of maintaining and enforcing VF’s trademarks and miscellaneous consolidating adjustments. Also included are costs of transition services for VF’s intimate apparel business sold in April 2007, and related reimbursements.

Analysis of Financial Condition

          Balance Sheets

Accounts Receivable increased 20% at June 2007 over June 2006 due primarily to a 12% increase in revenues. The remainder of the change resulted primarily from a 33% increase in revenues over the prior year in our European and Asian businesses, where payment terms are substantially longer than those of our U.S. businesses. Receivables are higher at the end of June 2007 than at the end of 2006 due to seasonal sales patterns.

Inventories at June 2007 increased 17% over the prior year due primarily to an expected 12% growth in revenues in the third quarter of 2007. In addition, we increased our inventory levels to better service our customers in the upcoming heavy shipping period, particularly for our Outdoor Coalition businesses. Inventory levels at June 2007 also increased over December 2006 due to higher seasonal requirements of our businesses and the impact of recent acquisitions.

Property, Plant and Equipment increased at June 2007 over June 2006 because capital spending, including investments in distribution and retail, exceeded depreciation expense.

Intangible Assets and Goodwill increased as a result of the 2007 Acquisitions, investment in a joint venture in India in the third quarter of 2006 and foreign currency translation. The increase in Intangible Assets was offset in part by amortization. See Notes E and F to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other Assets declined since June 2006 due to the elimination of an intangible asset recognized under previous pension accounting rules (see Notes B and H to the Consolidated Financial Statements), offset in part since December 2006 by an increase in assets held under deferred compensation plans.

Short-term Borrowings at June 2007 consisted of (i) $75.0 million of domestic commercial paper borrowings and (ii) $32.6 million of international borrowings. Overall, the extent of short-term borrowings varies throughout the year in relation to changes in working capital requirements and other investing and financing cash flows. There is typically more need for external borrowings at the end of the second quarter of the fiscal year than at our fiscal year-end.

Accounts Payable at June 2007 are comparable with June 2006 but higher than December 2006 due to the timing of inventory buying patterns.

24

Accrued Liabilities increased at June 2007 from December 2006 due to seasonal increases and growth-related factors in our businesses.

Total Long-term Debt, including the current portion, decreased from the level at June 2006 due to the repayment of a $33.0 million note payable in August 2006. VF does not intend to pay down $67.3 million of borrowings under the international bank credit agreement in the next 12 months, and accordingly, that amount is classified as Long-term Debt. The Current Portion of Long-term Debt at June 2007 includes a $33.0 million note payable in August 2007 and a $60.6 million U.S. dollar equivalent borrowed under the international bank credit agreement.

Other Liabilities declined since June 2006 due primarily to changes in the recognition of defined benefit pension liabilities (see Notes B and H to the Consolidated Financial Statements), offset in part since December 2006 by an increase in deferred compensation liabilities and the Majestic earnout liability (see Note C to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

          Liquidity and Cash Flows

The financial condition of VF is reflected in the following:

	June			December			June
(Dollars in millions)	2007			2006			2006
Working capital	$	1,468.7		$	1,563.2		$	1,354.1
Current ratio		2.4 to 1			2.5 to 1			2.1 to 1
Debt to total capital ratio		20.3	%		19.5	%		24.7	%

For the ratio of debt to total capital, debt is defined as short-term and long-term borrowings, and total capital is defined as debt plus common stockholders’ equity.

On an annual basis, VF’s primary source of liquidity is its strong cash flow provided by operating activities. Cash provided by operating activities is primarily dependent on the level of net income and changes in investments in inventories and other working capital components. Our cash flow from operations is typically low in the first six months of the year as we build working capital to service our operations for the balance of the year. Cash provided by operating activities is substantially higher in the second half of the year due to reduced working capital requirements, driven by higher collection of accounts receivable on sales during that period. For the six months through June 2007, cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was $92.6 million, compared with cash used by operating activities of $18.9 million in the comparable 2006 period. The increase in operating cash flow resulted primarily because the prior year period included a $75.0 million pension plan contribution that did not recur in 2007. In addition, net changes in working capital components were a usage of funds of $222.6 million for the six months ended June 2007, a reduction of $32.0 million from the usage of funds for the period ended June 2006.

In addition to cash provided by operating activities, VF has significant liquidity based on its available debt capacity supported by its strong credit rating. VF has a $750.0 million unsecured committed bank facility that expires in September 2008. This bank facility is available to support up to a $750.0 million commercial paper program. Any issuance of commercial paper reduces the amount available under the bank facility. At the end of June 2007, $665.7 million was available for borrowing under the credit agreement, with $75.0

25

million of commercial paper outstanding and $9.3 million of standby letters of credit issued under the agreement. In addition, VF has a $235.7 million U.S. dollar equivalent unsecured committed revolving credit facility under an international bank credit agreement that expires in October 2010. At the end of June 2007, a U.S. dollar equivalent of $107.8 was available for borrowing under the agreement, with $127.9 million outstanding. Further, under a registration statement filed in 1994 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, VF has the ability to offer, on a delayed or continuous basis, up to $300.0 million of additional debt, equity or other securities.

The principal investing activities in the first six months of 2007 included the receipt of $348.7 million of net proceeds from the sale of our intimate apparel business, partially offset by cash outlays of $178.6 million for funding the 2007 Acquisitions and $50.4 million for capital expenditures. Capital spending was comparable with the prior year period, with spending primarily related to distribution and retail investments. We continue to expect that capital spending could reach $145 million for the full year of 2007, which will be funded by operating cash flows.

During the first half of 2007, VF purchased 4.1 million shares of its Common Stock in open market transactions at a cost of $350.0 million (average price of $85.03 per share) and in the first half of 2006 purchased 2.0 million shares at a cost of $118.6 million (average price of $59.29 per share). Share repurchase activity during the first half of 2007 reduced the total approved authorization to 5.2 million shares as of the end of June 2007. The primary objective of our share repurchase program is to reduce the impact of dilution caused by the issuance of stock under stock compensation programs. The 4.1 million shares purchased in the first six months of 2007 completed our plan to repurchase shares using the proceeds from the sale of our intimate apparel business. Management will evaluate future share repurchases from time-to-time depending on market conditions, stock option exercises and funding required to support business acquisitions and other opportunities.

The Board of Directors increased the quarterly dividend rate by 90%, from $0.29 to $0.55 per share, starting with the dividend paid in June 2006. The higher quarterly dividend rate in 2007, compared with 2006, resulted in a $29 million increased usage of funds in the first half of 2007 over the comparable period in the prior year.

In July 2007, Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services affirmed its ‘A minus’ long-term corporate credit and senior unsecured debt rating, ‘A-2’ commercial paper rating and ‘stable’ outlook for VF. Standard & Poor’s also stated that the ratings and outlook would not be affected by the decisions to acquire Seven For All Mankind, LLC and lucy activewear, inc. (see Note O to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Also in July 2007, Moody’s Investors Service affirmed that these acquisitions would not affect VF’s long-term debt rating of ‘A3’, commercial paper rating of ‘Prime-2’ and ‘stable’ outlook. Existing debt agreements do not contain acceleration of maturity clauses based on changes in credit ratings.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis in our 2006 Form 10-K provided a table summarizing VF’s contractual obligations and commercial commitments at the end of 2006 that would require the use of funds. Since the filing of our 2006 Form 10-K, there have been no material changes, except as noted below, relating to VF’s contractual obligations that require the use of funds or other financial commitments that may require the use of funds:

• Minimum royalty and related advertising obligations. These obligations increased by approximately $370 million from 2006 year-end primarily due to commitments in our 2007 Acquisitions.

• Inventory purchase obligations represent binding commitments to purchase finished goods, raw materials and sewing labor in the ordinary course of business. These commitments increased by approximately $40 million at the end of the second quarter, compared with the 2006 year-end, to support seasonal sales expectations in succeeding months.

26

Management believes that VF’s cash balances and funds provided by operating activities, as well as unused committed bank credit lines, additional borrowing capacity and access to equity markets, taken as a whole, provide (i) adequate liquidity to meet all of its current and long-term obligations when due, including the acquisitions of Seven For All Mankind, LLC and lucy activewear, inc., (ii) adequate liquidity to fund capital expenditures and to maintain our dividend payout policy and (iii) flexibility to meet investment opportunities that may arise.

VF does not participate in transactions with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships established to facilitate off-balance sheet arrangements or other limited purposes.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We have chosen accounting policies that we believe are appropriate to accurately and fairly report VF’s operating results and financial position in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We apply these accounting policies in a consistent manner. Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note A to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2006 Form 10-K.

The application of these accounting policies requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical and other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and may retain outside consultants to assist in our evaluation. If actual results ultimately differ from previous estimates, the revisions are included in results of operations in the period in which the actual amounts become known. The accounting policies that involve the most significant management judgments and estimates used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements, or are the most sensitive to change from outside factors, are discussed in Management’s Discussion in our 2006 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in these policies, except for those mentioned in Note B to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Statements

From time to time, we may make oral or written statements, including statements in this Quarterly Report that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These include statements concerning plans, objectives, projections and expectations relating to VF’s operations or economic performance, and assumptions related thereto.

Forward-looking statements are made based on our expectations and beliefs concerning future events impacting VF and therefore involve a number of risks and uncertainties. We caution that forward-looking statements are not guarantees and actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements.

Potential risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results of operations or financial condition of VF to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include VF’s reliance on a small number of large customers; the financial strength of VF’s customers; changing fashion trends and consumer demand; increasing pressure on margins; VF’s ability to implement its growth strategy; VF’s ability to successfully integrate and grow acquisitions; VF’s ability to maintain information technology systems; stability of VF’s manufacturing facilities and foreign suppliers; continued use by VF’s suppliers of ethical business practices; VF’s ability to accurately forecast demand for products; continuity of members of VF’s management; VF’s ability to protect trademarks and other intellectual property rights; maintenance by VF’s licensees and distributors of the value of VF’s brands; the

27

overall level of consumer spending; general economic conditions and other factors affecting consumer confidence; fluctuations in the price, availability and quality of raw materials and contracted products; foreign currency fluctuations; and legal, regulatory, political and economic risks in international markets. More information on potential factors that could affect VF’s financial results is included from time to time in VF’s public reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including VF’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 3 –Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There have been no significant changes in VF’s market risk exposures from what was disclosed in Item 7A in our 2006 Form 10-K.

Item 4 –Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures:

Under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, a Disclosure Committee comprising various members of management has evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures at VF and its subsidiaries as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded as of the Evaluation Date that such controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting:

There have been no changes during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, VF’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II – Other Information

Item 1A –Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to our risk factors from those disclosed in our 2006 Form 10-K.

(1) Management will evaluate future share repurchases from time-to-time depending on stock option exercises and funding required to support business acquisitions and other opportunities. Also, under the Mid-Term Incentive Plan implemented under VF’s 1996 Stock Compensation Plan, VF must withhold from the shares of Common Stock issuable in settlement of a participant’s performance restricted stock units the number of shares having an aggregate fair market value equal to any federal, state and local withholding or other tax that VF is required to withhold, unless the participant has made other arrangements to pay such amounts. There were no shares withheld under the Mid-Term Incentive Plan during the second quarter of 2007.
