These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, which will be performed for the full year with the objective of expressing an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation as of January 28, 1996, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein) and in our report dated March 12, 1996, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 28, 1996, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Accordingly, they do not contain all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Reference should be made to the annual financial statements, including the footnotes thereto, included in the Company's Annual Report to Stockholders for the year ended January 28, 1996. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from the estimates. The results of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 28, 1996 and July 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year due, in part, to seasonal factors. The data contained in these financial statements are unaudited and are subject to year-end adjustments; however, in the opinion of management, all known adjustments (which consist only of normal recurring accruals) have been made to present fairly the consolidated operating results for the unaudited periods. Certain reclassifications have been made to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 1995 to present that information on a basis consistent with the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 28, 1996. INVENTORIES Inventories are summarized as follows: July 28, January 28, 1996 1996 Raw materials $ 19,111 $ 14,194 Work in process 15,555 13,145 Finished goods 291,007 249,434 Total $325,673 $276,773 Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost for the apparel business is determined principally using the last-in, first-out method (LIFO), except for certain sportswear inventories which are determined using the first-in, first-out method (FIFO). Cost for the footwear business is determined using FIFO. Inventories would have been $13,564 and $12,923 higher than reported at July 28, 1996 and January 28, 1996, respectively, if the FIFO method of inventory accounting had been used for the entire apparel business. -5- The final determination of cost of sales and inventories under the LIFO method can only be made at the end of each fiscal year based on inventory cost and quantities on hand. Interim LIFO determinations are based on management's estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Such estimates are subject to revision at the end of each quarter. Since estimates of future inventory levels and costs are subject to external factors, interim financial results are subject to year-end LIFO inventory adjustments. SEGMENT DATA The Company operates in two industry segments: (i) apparel - the manufacture, procurement for sale and marketing of a broad range of men's and women's apparel to wholesale customers as well as through Company-owned retail stores, and (ii) footwear - the manufacture, procurement for sale and marketing of a broad range of men's, women's and children's shoes to wholesale customers as well as through Company-owned retail stores. Operating income represents net sales less operating expenses. Excluded from operating results of the segments are interest expense, net, corporate expenses and income taxes.

(Gant and Izod) for $114,503 in cash, net of cash acquired, and subject to certain adjustments. This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. The acquired operations are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements since February 17, 1995. -6- OTHER The Company is a party to certain litigation which, in management's judgement based in part on the opinion of legal counsel, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position. -7- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Thirteen Weeks Ended July 28, 1996 Compared to Thirteen Weeks Ended July 30, 1995 APPAREL Net sales of the Company's apparel segment in the second quarter were $223.2 million in 1996 and $255.9 million last year, a decrease of 12.8%. The decrease in sales was due principally to the previously announced closing of factory outlet retail stores and a planned reduction in lower margin private label business, as well as the prior year's high level of clearance activity related to the closing of the Company's private label outlet stores. These strategic initiatives more than offset sales gains made this year in the Company's branded product lines. Gross profit on apparel sales was 31.4% in the second quarter of 1996 compared to 32.7% in last year's second quarter. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of apparel sales in the second quarter was 29.9% in 1996 and 30.3% in 1995. FOOTWEAR Net sales of the Company's footwear segment were $90.6 million in the second quarter of 1996 and $93.5 million last year, a decrease of 3.1%. The decrease was due principally to the previously announced closing of factory outlet retail stores. Gross profit on footwear sales was 38.5% in the second quarter of 1996 compared to 38.3% in last year's second quarter. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of footwear sales in the second quarter was 29.5% in 1996 and 29.3% in 1995. INTEREST EXPENSE Net interest expense was $5.9 million in the second quarter of 1996 and 1995. INCOME TAXES Income tax was estimated at a rate of 30.2% for the second quarter of 1996 compared to 34.6% in last year's second quarter. The decrease in the 1996 rate is due principally to a lower proportion of U.S. income taxed at normal rates versus tax exempted income from operations in Puerto Rico. CORPORATE EXPENSES Corporate expenses were $2.6 million in the second quarter of 1996 compared to $2.9 million in 1995. -8- Twenty-Six Weeks Ended July 28, 1996 Compared to Twenty-Six Weeks Ended July 30, 1995 APPAREL Net sales of the Company's apparel segment were $423.4 million during the first six months of 1996, a decrease of 8.1% from the prior year's $460.9 million. The decrease in sales was due principally to the previously announced closing of factory outlet retail stores and a planned reduction in lower margin private label business, as well as the prior year's high level of clearance activity related to the closing of the Company's private label outlet stores. These strategic initiatives more than offset sales gains made this year in the Company's branded product lines. Gross profit on apparel sales was 32.4% in the first half of 1996 compared to 32.7% in last year's first half. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of apparel sales in the first half was 32.1% in 1996 and 31.6% in 1995. FOOTWEAR Net sales of the Company's footwear segment were $164.0 million during the first six months of 1996, a decrease of 4.4% from the prior year's $171.5 million. The decrease was due principally to the previously announced closing of factory outlet retail stores. Gross profit on footwear sales was 37.3% in the first half of 1996 compared to 38.7% in last year's first half. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of footwear sales in the first half was 31.0% in 1996 and 31.8% in 1995. INTEREST EXPENSE Net interest expense was $12.1 million in the first half of 1996 compared with $10.7 million last year. The increase is directly related to the timing of the Gant and Izod acquisition and the funding of the cash portion of the Company's prior year $27 million restructuring initiatives. INCOME TAXES Income tax was estimated at a rate of 30.5% for the first half and year of 1996 compared with last year's rate of 34.8% for the first half and year. The decrease in the 1996 rate is due principally to a lower proportion of U.S. income taxed at normal rates versus tax exempted income from operations in Puerto Rico. CORPORATE EXPENSES Corporate expenses were $5.8 million in the first half of 1996 compared to $5.3 million in 1995. The increase is due solely to timing as expenses are expected to be substantially flat for the year. -9- SEASONALITY The Company's business is seasonal, with higher sales and income during its third and fourth quarters, which coincide with the Company's two peak retail selling seasons: the first running from the start of the back to school and fall selling seasons beginning in August and continuing through September; the second being the Christmas selling season beginning with the weekend following Thanksgiving and continuing through the week after Christmas. Also contributing to the strength of the third quarter is the high volume of fall shipments to wholesale customers which are generally more profitable than spring shipments. The slower spring selling season at wholesale combined with retail seasonality makes the first fiscal quarter particularly weak. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The seasonal nature of the Company's business typically requires the use of cash to fund a build up in the Company's inventory in the first half of each fiscal year. During the third and fourth quarters, the Company's higher level of sales tends to reduce its inventory and generate cash from operations. Cash used by operations in the first half totalled $8.7 million in 1996 and $115.9 million last year. The decrease is principally related to the reduction in working capital requirements due to the downsizing of the Company's retail business. Capital spending was $10.6 million in the first half of 1996 as compared with $19.5 million last year. The decrease is in line with the Company's planned capital spending reduction. The Company has a credit agreement which includes a revolving credit facility under which the Company may, at its option, borrow and repay amounts within certain limits. The credit agreement also includes a letter of credit facility. The total amount available to the Company under each of the revolving credit and the letter of credit facility is $250 million provided, however, that the aggregate maximum amount outstanding at any time under both facilities is $400 million. The Company believes that its borrowing capacity under this facility is adequate for its 1996 peak seasonal needs. At the end of the current and prior year's second quarter, the Company estimated that $70 million of the outstanding borrowings under this facility were non-current. The Company's long-term debt (net of invested cash) as a percentage of total capital is 45.4% at the end of the current quarter compared with 45.7% at the end of last year's second quarter. -10- * * * ****************************************************************************** * * * Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act * * of 1995: Except for the historical information contained herein, the * * matters discussed in this Form 10-Q report may be deemed to consist of * * forward-looking statements that may involve risks to and uncertainties in * * the Company's business.
