ITEM 9. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.
The table following this narrative sets forth information concerning the
quarterly and annual consolidated operating results of Haggar Corp. (the
"Company") for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2000, together with projected
quarterly and annual consolidated operating results for the fiscal year
commencing October 1, 2000, and ending September 30, 2001. The projections for

The projections set forth in the table constitute forward-looking statements
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995. Although the Company believes that these forward-looking statements
are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its
expectations will in fact occur and cautions that actual results may differ
materially from those in the forward-looking statements. A number of factors
could affect the future results of the Company or the apparel industry generally
and could cause the Company's expected results to differ materially from those
expressed in this filing. These factors include, among other things:
- Changes in general business conditions,
- Impact of competition in the apparel industry,
- Changes in the performance of the retail sector in general and the
apparel industry in particular,
- Seasonality of the Company's business,
- Changes in consumer acceptance of new products and the success of
advertising, marketing, and promotional campaigns,
- Changes in laws and other regulatory actions,
- Changes in labor relations,
- Political and economic events and conditions domestically or in the
foreign jurisdictions in which the Company operates,
- Unexpected judicial decisions,
- Changes in interest rates and capital market conditions,
- Inflation,
- Acquisition or dissolution of business enterprises,
- Natural disasters, and
- Unusual or infrequent items that cannot be foreseen or are not
susceptible to estimation.
The quarterly and annual consolidated operating results for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 2000, do not necessarily indicate the results that may be
expected for any future quarter or for any fiscal year.
The Company cautions that the quarterly and annual projections for fiscal 2001
set forth below are given as of the date hereof based on currently available
information. The Company is not undertaking any obligations to update these
projections as conditions change or other information becomes available.
Investors also should consider other risks and uncertainties discussed in
documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
