SALANT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Amounts in Thousands of Dollars, Except Share Data)

(Unaudited)



Note 1.  Basis of Presentation and Consolidation



The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements include the accounts of Salant Corporation ("Salant")
and subsidiaries. (As used herein, the "Company" includes Salant
and its subsidiaries but excludes Salant's Vera Scarf Division.)
In February 1995, Salant discontinued its Vera Scarf Division. 
As further described in Note 2, the Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements and the Notes thereto treat the Vera Scarf
Division as a discontinued operation, and, consistent with the
financial statements for 1994, the financial results of the Vera
Scarf Division are not included in the presentation of income
from continuing operations.  In addition, the net assets and/or
net liabilities of the discontinued operations have been
separately classified in the Condensed Consolidated Balance
Sheets.



The results of operations for the three and six months ended
July 1, 1995 and July 2, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of
a full year's operations.  In the opinion of management, the
accompanying financial statements include all adjustments which
are necessary to present fairly such financial statements.
Significant intercompany balances and transactions are
eliminated in consolidation.



Certain reclassifications were made to the 1994 unaudited
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet to conform with the 1995
presentation.



Income/(loss) per share is based on the weighted average number
of common shares (including 761,840 shares to be issued pursuant
to the Company's plan of reorganization) and common stock
equivalents outstanding, if applicable.  Loss per share for the
three months ended July 2, 1994 and six months ended July 1,
1995 and July 2, 1994 did not include common stock equivalents,
as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. 



Note 2.   Discontinued Operations



In February 1995, the Company discontinued the Vera Scarf
Division, which imports and markets women's scarves.  The loss
from operations of the Division in the prior year (for the three
and six months ended July 2, 1994) was $219 and $294,
respectively.



Net sales of the Division were $597 and $1,131 for the three
months ended July 1, 1995 and July 2, 1994, respectively.  Net
sales of the Division were $1,513 and $2,619 for the six months
ended July 1, 1995 and July 2, 1994, respectively.  The net
assets and/or net liabilities of the discontinued operations
have been reclassified on the balance sheets as net assets or
net liabilities of discontinued operations and consist
principally of accounts receivable, inventory and accrued losses
for the phase-out period.

Note 3.  Loans Payable and Factor Advances



The Company has entered into an agreement with a factor, whereby
it sells, without recourse, an interest in a defined pool of
eligible accounts receivable.  The credit risk for such accounts
is thereby transferred to the factor.  The amounts due from
factor have been offset against advances from the factor in the
accompanying balance sheets.  The amounts which have been offset
amounted to $31,402 at July 1, 1995, $9,324 at December 31,
1994, and $11,536 at July 2, 1994.

Note 5. Long Term Debt



In May 1994, the Company purchased and retired $3,600 of its 10
1/2% Senior Secured Notes due December 31, 1998 (the "Secured
Notes") in an open market transaction at a price below the
principal amount thereof.  As a result of this transaction, the
Company recorded an extraordinary gain of $63.

ITEM 2.	MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

	CONDITION	 AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.



The following discussion and analysis of the consolidated
results of operations and financial condition should be read in
conjunction with the accompanying unaudited Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes to provide
additional information concerning the financial activities and
condition of Salant Corporation ("Salant") and its subsidiary
companies (collectively, the "Company").



Results of Operations



The following discussion compares the operating results of the
Company for the three and six months ended July 1, 1995 with the
operating results for the three and six months ended July 2,
1994.  In February 1995, the Company discontinued its Vera Scarf
Division.  The financial statements included in this report
treat the Vera Scarf Division as a discontinued operation, the
effect of which is to exclude the results of operations of the
Vera Scarf Division from the Company's results from continuing
operations for each fiscal period presented.  See "Notes to the
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements --- Note 2." 





The following table sets forth certain financial data for the
three and six months ended July 1, 1995 and July 2, 1994:

Second Quarter 1995 Compared to Second Quarter 1994



For the second quarter of 1995, net sales amounted to $122.1
million, a 38.4% increase over net sales of $88.2 million in the
comparable 1994 quarter.  The increase was due to significant
sales increases in each of the Company's major product lines:
dress shirts and accessories; sportswear; slacks, jeans and
shorts; and, other products. 



Sales of the Company's dress shirts and accessories increased
19.2%, notwithstanding the popularity of casualwear, which
contributed to a slight decrease in the overall U.S. dress shirt
market in 1994. The increase in the Company's dress shirt sales
is partly attributable to a new license agreement for dress
shirts produced and sold under the GANT label, which the Company
signed in June 1994.



Sales of the Company's sportswear increased 105.8% due to the
success of the Perry Ellis and Manhattan casual lines. 
Additionally, sportswear sales also reflect the addition of the
JJ. Farmer Division which was acquired in June 1994.



Sales of the Company's slacks, jeans and shorts increased 43.8%
due to the start of shipments to Sears, Roebuck & Co. of the new
Canyon River Blues denim apparel program for men and boys in the
second quarter of 1995.



Sales of the Company's other products increased 16.2% due to the
continued popularity of the Company's children's lines and to an
increase in the number of retail stores operated by the Company
(from 57 at July 2, 1994 to 70 at July 1, 1995).



The following table sets forth net sales by category and
percentage of total net sales for the second quarter of 1995 as
compared to the second quarter of 1994:

(a) Includes the Fashion Shirt Group, the dress shirt portions
of the Manhattan Apparel Group and Perry Ellis Division and the
Salant Accessories Division.

(b) Includes the Sportswear portions of the Perry Ellis Division
and Manhattan Apparel Group and the JJ. Farmer Division.

(d) Includes the Children's Apparel Group, Made in the Shade
Division (a women's junior sportswear business) and the Retail

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 20.1%
($24.5 million) in the second quarter of 1995 from 21.4% of net
sales ($18.9 million) in the comparable 1994 quarter.  The
reduction in gross profit as a percentage of net sales occurred
primarily in men's dress shirts and slacks and in denim-based
products.  The cause of the reduction was (a) ongoing pressure
on selling prices, which is expected to continue and (b)
additional sales at lower gross profit margins, which benefited
income by reducing selling, general and administrative expenses
as a percentage of net sales.  Gross profit was positively
affected by the decrease in certain manufacturing costs due to
the devaluation of the Mexican peso.



Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
net sales decreased to 16.6% ($20.3 million), as compared to the
second quarter of 1994, when such expenses amounted to 20.9% of
net sales ($18.5 million).  The decrease in such expenses as a
percentage of net sales was primarily attributable to fixed
costs which do not vary with sales.



For the second quarter of 1995, income from continuing
operations (before net interest expense of $4.7 million) was
$5.1 million, or 4.2% of net sales. For the second quarter of
1994, income from continuing operations (before net interest
expense of $3.9 million) was $1.5 million, or 1.7% of net sales.
Income from continuing operations as a percentage of net sales
was higher in 1995 primarily as a result of the lower selling,
general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net
sales, as described above, as offset by the continuing gross
margin pressures as indicated above.



Other income for the second quarter of 1995 included a $200
thousand insurance reimbursement for legal fees and expenses
incurred in prior years.



Net interest expense for the second quarter of 1995 amounted to
$4.7 million as compared to $3.9 million in the prior year's
second quarter.  The increase in interest expense was primarily
due to a higher average outstanding loan balance and increases
in the interest rate on the Company's working capital facility. 
Net interest expense includes $400 thousand interest income
receivable from the Internal Revenue Service as interest on
refunds of taxes for prior years.



As a result of the above, net income for the 1995 second quarter
was $0.4 million, or $0.03 per share, compared with a net loss
of $2.7 million, or $0.18 per share, for the second quarter of
1994.



Year to Date 1995 Compared to Year to Date 1994



For the six months ended July 1, 1995, net sales amounted to
$225.9 million, a 26.9% increase over net sales of $178.0
million for the six months ended July 2, 1994.  The increase was
due to significant sales increases in each of the Company's
major product lines: dress shirts and accessories; sportswear;
slacks, jeans and shorts; and, other products. 



The Company experienced sales increases of 11.5% in its dress
shirts and accessories products, 74.9% in its sportswear
products and 34.2% in its slacks, jeans and shorts products. 
The reasons for such increases are substantially the same as the
reasons described above for the increases experienced in the
second quarter of 1995 compared to the same period in 1994.

The following table sets forth net sales by category and
percentage of total net sales for the first half of 1995 as
compared to the first half of 1994:

Total					$ 225.9  100%	 	$178.0	  100%







(a) Includes the Fashion Shirt Group, the dress shirt portions
of the Manhattan Apparel Group and Perry Ellis Division and the
Salant Accessories Division.

(b) Includes the Sportswear portions of the Perry Ellis Division
and Manhattan Apparel Group and the JJ. Farmer Division.

(c) Includes the Thomson and Texas Apparel Divisions.

(d) Includes the Children's Apparel Group, Made in the Shade
Division (a women's junior sportswear business) and the Retail
Stores Division.



Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 20.8%
($47.0 million) in the first half of 1995 from 23.0% of net
sales ($41.0 million) in the comparable 1994 period.  The
reduction in gross profit as a percentage of net sales was
incurred primarily in men's dress shirts, slacks and jeans.  The
cause of the reduction was the same as discussed for the second
quarter above, as well as higher costs of manufacturing in the
first quarter of 1995 in our domestic dress shirt facilities and
our recently closed jeans laundry in Texas.  Based on recent
improvements in our dress shirt facilities as well as a new
laundry facility which commenced operations in Mexico on July 8,
1995, we do not expect the higher manufacturing costs to
continue.  Gross profit was positively affected by the decrease
in certain manufacturing costs due to the devaluation of the
Mexican peso.



Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
net sales decreased to 18.0% ($40.7 million), as compared to the
first half of 1994, when such expenses amounted to 21.0% of net
sales ($37.4 million).  The decrease in such expenses as a
percentage of net sales was primarily attributable to fixed
costs which do not vary with sales.



Other income for the six months ended July 1, 1995 and July 2,
1994, included $200 thousand and $500 thousand, respectively,
for an insurance reimbursement for legal fees and expenses
incurred in prior years.



For the first half of 1995, income from continuing operations
(before net interest expense of $9.2 million) was $8.0 million,
or 3.5% of net sales. For the first half of 1994, income from
continuing operations (before net interest expense of $7.3
million) was $6.1 million, or 3.4% of net sales.  Income from
continuing operations as a percentage of net sales was higher in
1995 primarily for the same reasons as the second quarter.



Net interest expense for the first half of 1995 amounted to $9.2
million as compared to $7.3 million in the prior year's first
half.  The increase in interest expense was due to the same
reasons as discussed for the second quarter.



As a result of the above, the net loss for the six months ended
July 1, 1995 was $1.3 million, or $0.09 per share, compared with
a net loss of $1.6 million, or $0.11 per share, for the six
months ended July 2, 1994.



Liquidity and Capital Resources



 The Company is a party to a revolving credit, factoring and
security agreement, as amended, (the "Credit Agreement") with
The CIT Group/Commercial Services, Inc. ("CIT") to provide
seasonal working capital financing in the form of direct
borrowings and letters of credit, up to an aggregate of $135
million during certain periods of 1995 (subject to an asset
based borrowing formula).  Interest on direct borrowings is
charged monthly at an annual rate of one percent in excess of
the prime rate of Chemical Bank (the "Prime Rate") (which prime
rate was 9.0% at July 1, 1995).  As collateral for borrowings
under the Credit Agreement, Salant has granted to CIT a security
interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company.  As
of July 1, 1995, direct borrowings and letters of credit
outstanding under the Credit Agreement were $61.8 million and
$29.1 million, respectively, and the Company had unused
availability of $5.6 million.  As of July 2, 1994, direct
borrowings and letters of credit outstanding under the Credit
Agreement were $26.5 million and $40.2 million, respectively,
and the unused availability amounted to $23.1 million.  The
average interest rate on borrowings for the six months ended
July 1, 1995 and July 2, 1994 was 9.8% and 6.9%, respectively.



At the end of the first half of 1995, the Company's short term
borrowings were $35.3 million higher than such borrowings at the
end of the first half of 1994.  The increase in borrowings was
primarily the result of an increase in inventories to provide
for businesses entered into in 1994 and in anticipation of
higher sales in the third quarter of 1995, including continuing
shipments of the new Sears' Canyon River Blues program for men
and boys which began in the second quarter of 1995.



As a result of the increase in sales anticipated in the third
quarter of 1995 and the related increase in inventory described
above, the Company entered into an agreement (the "Amendment")
with CIT, as referenced in Exhibit 10.30 to this Form 10-Q,
amending the Credit Agreement.  The Amendment provides for,
among other things, an increase in the aggregate limitation on
direct borrowings and letters of credit for the months of
August, September and October from $132 million, $128 million
and $120 million, respectively, to $135 million, $135 million
and $130 million, respectively.  CIT also agreed to provide the
Company with funds under the Seasonal Overadvance Subfacility
provided for in the Credit Agreement during the month of August
for a one-time fee of $126 thousand and a factoring commission
surcharge of one percent (1%) in excess of the factoring
commission otherwise due under the Credit Agreement up to an
aggregate amount of $224 thousand.  In addition, CIT waived a
default as a result of the Company's reduction of borrowings
based on inventory on July 31, 1995 instead of July 10, 1995.



The Credit Agreement and the indenture governing the Secured
Notes contain numerous financial and operating covenants,
including restrictions on incurring indebtedness and liens,
making investments in or purchasing the stock of all or a
substantial part of the assets of another person, selling
property, making capital expenditures, and paying cash
dividends.  In addition, under the Credit Agreement, the Company
is required (i) during the year, to maintain minimum levels of
working capital and stockholders' equity and to satisfy a
maximum cumulative net loss test and (ii) at year end, to
satisfy a ratio of total liabilities to stockholders' equity and
a fixed charge coverage ratio.  At July 1, 1995, the Company was
in compliance with all financial covenants as indicated below:









	 Covenant	 			 July 1, 1995

Credit Agreement		 Covenants Level 	 	Actual Level

				   				

Working Capital		$    85.0 million		$  94.5 million

Stockholders' Equity		$    65.0 million		$  70.4  million

Maximum Loss		$   (10.0) million		positive income  (a)







(a) In accordance with the Credit Agreement, maximum loss
excludes any write-off of goodwill in the 1994 fiscal year.



The Company is also required to reduce its indebtedness
(excluding outstanding letters of credit) to $20 million or less
for fifteen consecutive days during each twelve month period
commencing February 1, 1994.  The Company has complied with this
covenant for the period February 1, 1994 through January 31,
1995.



Capital expenditures in the first half of 1995 were $4.1
million, relating primarily to the creation of Perry Ellis shops
in department stores, showroom and office space in New York City
and a new jeans laundry facility in Mexico, as compared to $2.5
million in the first half of 1994.  Capital expenditures for
1995 are anticipated to be approximately $6-7 million.



Salant's principal sources of liquidity, both on a short-term
and a long-term basis, are provided by operations and borrowings
under the Credit Agreement.



Based upon its analysis of its consolidated financial position,
its cash flow during the past twelve months, and its cash flow
anticipated from future operations, Salant believes that its
future cash flow, together with the funds available under the
Credit Agreement, will be adequate to meet its financing
requirements for the remainder of 1995.  There can be no
assurance, however, that future developments and general
economic trends will not adversely affect the Company's
operations and, hence, its anticipated cash flow.
