AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2001, and the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, have been prepared by Haggar Corp. (the "Company") without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary (which include only normal recurring adjustments) to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company at December 31, 2001, and for all other periods presented, have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying footnotes in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2001. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK. Financial instruments, which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 105, "Disclosure of Information about Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments with Concentrations of Credit Risk," consist primarily of trade accounts receivable. The Company's customers are not concentrated in any specific geographic region but are concentrated in the apparel industry. The Company's largest current customer, J.C. Penney Company, Inc., accounted for 23.1% and 25.4% of the Company's net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Company's second largest current customer, Kohl's Department Stores, Inc., accounted for 15.7% and 11.5% of the Company's net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's net sales. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations", and SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." The adoption of SFAS No. 143 and 144 is not expected to have a material affect on the consolidated financial statements. INVENTORIES. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market and consisted of the following at December 31, 2001, and September 30, 2001 (in thousands): <Table> <Caption> December 31, September 30, 2001 2001 ------------ ------------- Piece goods $ 12,326 $ 11,947 Trimmings & supplies 2,785 2,781 Work-in-process 13,208 14,068 Finished garments 81,748 68,930 --------- --------- $ 110,067 $ 97,726 ========= ========= </Table> Work-in-process and finished garments inventories consisted of materials, labor and manufacturing overhead. 6 <Page> GOODWILL On October 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS No. 142") and recorded a $15.6 million impairment of goodwill related to the 1999 acquisition of Jerell, the Company's women's wear subsidiary. Subsequent to the acquisition, pricing pressures and a weak retail environment for women's apparel have resulted in a revised earnings forecast for Jerell. In order to determine the fair value of goodwill, the Company obtained an independent appraisal which considered both prices of comparable businesses and the discounted value of projected cash flows. The change in the carrying amount of goodwill for the three months ended December 31, 2001 is as follows: <Table> Balance as of October 1, 2001 $ 25,050 Impairment loss under SFAS No. 142 (15,578) --------- Balance as of December 31, 2001 $ 9,472 ========= </Table> The following reflects the Company's income (loss) before cumulative effect of accounting change and net income (loss) adjusted to exclude goodwill amortization for all periods presented. <Table> <Caption> Three Months Three Months Ended Ended 12/31/01 12/31/00 -------- -------- Income (loss) before cumulative effect of accounting change $ 72 $ (145) Add back: goodwill amortization - 375 ------------ ----------- Adjusted income (loss) before cumulative effect of accounting change $ 72 $ 230 ============ =========== Basic and diluted earnings per share: Income (loss) before cumulative effect of accounting change $ 0.01 $ (0.02) Add back: goodwill amortization - 0.06 ------------ ----------- Adjusted income (loss) before cumulative effect of accounting change $ 0.01 $ 0.04 ============ =========== Reported net loss $ (15,506) $ (145) Add back: goodwill amortization - 375 ------------ ----------- Adjusted net income (loss) $ (15,506) $ 230 ============ =========== Basic and diluted earnings per share: Reported net loss $ (2.43) $ (0.02) Add back: goodwill amortization - 0.06 ------------ ----------- Adjusted net income (loss) $ (2.43) $ 0.04 ============ =========== </Table> 7 <Page> LONG-TERM DEBT Long-term debt consisted of the following at December 31, 2001, and September 30, 2001 (in thousands): <Table> <Caption> December 31, September 30, 2001 2001 ------------ ------------- Borrowings under revolving credit line $ 35,000 $ 36,000 Industrial Development Revenue Bonds with interest at a rate equal to that of high-quality, short-term, tax-exempt obligations, as defined (1.8% at December 31, 2001 and 2.4 % at September 30, 2001), payable in annual installments of $100 to $200 and a final payment of $2,000 in 2005, secured by certain buildings and equipment 2,300 2,400 Allstate notes 10,714 14,285 Other 679 674 --------- --------- 48,693 53,359 Less - Current portion 3,993 4,021 --------- --------- $ 44,700 $ 49,338 ========= ========= </Table> Net assets mortgaged or subject to lien under the Industrial Development Revenue Bonds totaled approximately $595,000 at December 31, 2001. As of December 31, 2001, the Company had a revolving credit line agreement (the "Agreement") with certain banks subject to certain borrowing base limitations. The Company had additional available borrowing capacity of approximately $49.0 million under this Agreement at December 31, 2001. The Company incurred approximately $38,000 in commitment fees related to the available borrowing capacity during the quarter ended December 31, 2001. The interest rates for the quarter ended December 31, 2001, ranged from 3.47% to 6.0%. The facility will mature June 30, 2003, unless renewed and is unsecured. The Agreement prohibits the Company from pledging its account receivables and inventories, contains limitations on incurring additional indebtedness and requires the maintenance of certain financial ratios. In addition, the Agreement requires the Company to maintain net worth in excess of the net worth of the preceding fiscal year plus 50% of the Company's consolidated net income ($121.9 million as of December 31, 2001). The Company's main operating subsidiary, Haggar Clothing Co., must maintain net worth of $40.0 million. The Company amended the Agreement on January 9, 2002, to exclude from the computation of Haggar Clothing Co.'s net worth the $15.6 million non-cash cumulative effect of accounting change related to SFAS No. 142. The Agreement prohibits the payment of any dividend if a default exists after giving effect to such dividend. Long-term debt also includes $10.7 million in senior notes. Significant terms of the senior notes include interest payable semi-annually at 8.49% per annum and annual principal payments through 2005. The terms and conditions of the note purchase agreement governing the senior notes include restriction on the sale of assets, limitations on additional indebtedness and the maintenance of certain net worth requirements. 8 <Page> REORGANIZATION On March 26, 2001, the Company announced plans to close its manufacturing facility in Edinburg, Texas, and its operations in Japan. Accordingly, the Company recorded a $20.8 million charge to operations ($14.3 million after taxes) in the quarter ending March 31, 2001. The Company's decision to close its Edinburg facility was made in conjunction with the Company's continuing strategy to source its production internationally. Severance and other employee related payments of $5.3 million have been made as of December 31, 2001, and all other employee termination costs are expected to be paid by the end of fiscal 2003. During the second quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company recorded an $8.6 million charge for legal expenses, of which $1.6 million was due to a cash settlement for certain claims and the remaining $7.0 million was due to management's estimate of the expected loss for unsettled claims against the Company, including two jury verdicts totaling $5.2 million which have been returned against subsidiaries of the Company and are currently on appeal. Many of the legal claims against the Company relate to claims for wrongful discharge and common law tort by former employees of the Company's sewing facilities in south Texas that were closed in previous years. Due to the closure of the Company's last manufacturing facility in south Texas, management believes that the likelihood of adverse outcomes related to such claims has increased significantly. Accordingly, the Company has recorded its best estimate of future costs for such claims. The reorganization costs before tax are summarized as follows (in millions): <Table> <Caption> Balance Balance September 30, 2001 Payments December 31, 2001 ------------------ -------- ----------------- Employee termination and related costs $ 2.0 $ (0.4) $ 1.6 Legal costs 6.3 (0.1) 6.2 ------ ------- ------ Total Reorganization Costs $ 8.3 $ (0.5) $ 7.8 ====== ======= ====== </Table> COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company had approximately $30.0 million in outstanding letters of credit at December 31, 2001, primarily in connection with certain self-insurance agreements and certain inventory purchases of the Company. The Company is involved in various claims and lawsuits incidental to its business. In the opinion of management, these claims and suits in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or the results of operations for future periods. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS WESLACO The Company announced in January 2002 that it will close its Weslaco, Texas cutting facility over the next three to four months. This closure, which impacts 134 employees, is part of the Company's ongoing restructuring of its manufacturing processes due to competitive pressures in the global market place. The Company believes the charge to operations will range from $0.6 million to $1.0 million for the related employee severance costs and equipment write-offs. DIVIDEND DECLARED 9 <Page> On January 22, 2002, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.05 per share payable to the stockholders of record on February 4, 2002. The dividend of approximately $319,000 will be paid on February 18, 2002. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto and with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2001. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company's first quarter fiscal 2002 net loss of $15.5 million was higher than the net loss of $0.1 million in the first quarter fiscal 2001. The variance in the net loss relates mainly to the $15.6 million cumulative effect of the accounting change recorded as a result of adopting SFAS No. 142. Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 were $99.3 million compared to $99.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2001. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 to 30.8% compared to 32.9% in the first quarter of the prior fiscal year. Gross profit decreased mainly due to lower selling prices resulting from continued price pressures at retail. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 30.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to 32.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2001. Actual selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $2.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2001. The overall decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses from fiscal 2001 relates to decreases in selling, marketing, and advertising costs of $5.0 million and reduced expenses of $0.6 million related to the closing of Japan operations in fiscal 2001. The decreases are partially offset by expenses attributable to licensing activities of $0.9 million, increased property insurance, healthcare, and other employee benefit costs of $2.2 million. Royalty income for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 decreased slightly from the first quarter of fiscal 2001, primarily due to reduced domestic licensee sales. GOODWILL On October 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS No. 142") and recorded a $15.6 million impairment of goodwill related to the 1999 acquisition of Jerell, the Company's women's wear subsidiary.

Accordingly, the Company recorded a $20.8 million charge to operations ($14.3 million after taxes) in the quarter ending March 31, 2001. The Company's decision to close its Edinburg facility was made in conjunction with the Company's continuing strategy to source its production internationally. Severance and other employee related payments of $5.3 million have been made as of December 31, 2001, and all other employee termination costs are expected to be paid by the end of fiscal 2003.

Due to the closure of the Company's last manufacturing facility in south Texas, management believes that the likelihood of adverse outcomes related to such claims has increased significantly. Accordingly, the Company has recorded its best estimate of future costs for such claims. 11 <Page> The reorganization costs before tax are summarized as follows (in millions): <Table> <Caption> Balance Balance September 30, 2001 Payments December 31, 2001 ------------------ -------- ----------------- Employee termination and related costs $ 2.0 $ (0.4) $ 1.6 Legal costs 6.3 (0.1) 6.2 ------ ------- ------ Total Reorganization Costs $ 8.3 $ (0.5) $ 7.8 ====== ======= ====== </Table> LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's trade accounts receivable potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risks as most of its customers are in the retail apparel industry. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the factors related to the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information. The Company's trade accounts receivable decreased approximately $28.8 million to $40.2 million at December 31, 2001, from $69.0 million at September 30, 2001. The decreases in trade accounts receivable from September 30, 2001 is primarily the result of seasonality consistent with the same quarter of the prior year. In addition, the Company's due from factor decreased from $2.2 million at September 30, 2001, to $1.6 million at December 31, 2001. The decrease in due from factor relates to decreased sales in the specialty store women's wear division. Inventories as of December 31, 2001, increased to $110.1 million from $97.7 million at September 30, 2001. The increase in inventory levels during the first quarter of fiscal 2002 is due to an increase in finished goods in anticipation of higher forecasted sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2002. The Company has a revolving credit line facility with certain banks. As of December 31, 2001, the Company had available additional borrowing capacity of approximately $49.0 million under that facility. The Company incurred approximately $38,000 in commitment fees related to the available borrowing capacity during the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The interest rates during the first quarter of fiscal 2002 ranged from 3.47% to 6.0%. The facility will mature June 30, 2003, with a one-year renewal at the option of the banks. The Company provided cash from operating activities for the three months ended December 31, 2001, primarily as a result of a net reduction in accounts receivable and due from factor of $29.4 million offset by decreases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $14.8 million and an increase in inventories of $12.3 million. The Company used cash in investing activities of $0.5 million during the first three months of fiscal 2002 mainly for the purchase of property, plant, and equipment of $0.7 million. Cash flows used in financing activities of $5.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2001, were primarily the result of a net decrease in long-term debt of $4.7 million. By comparison, the Company used cash in operating activities for the three months ended December 31, 2000, primarily as a result of an increase in inventories of $8.6 million, decreases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $16.1 million and offset by a reduction in accounts receivable and due from factor of $20.1 million. The Company used cash in investing activities of $1.3 million during the first three months of fiscal 2001 mainly for the purchase of property, plant and equipment of $0.8 million. Cash flows provided by financing activities of $5.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2000, were primarily as the result of a net increase in long-term debt of $6.2 million to fund ongoing operations, offset by dividends and the purchase of treasury stock. 12 <Page> The Company believes that the cash flows generated from operations and the funds available under the foregoing credit facilities will be adequate to meet its working capital and related financing needs for the foreseeable future. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company had approximately $30.0 million in outstanding letters of credit at December 31, 2001, primarily in connection with certain self-insurance agreements and certain inventory purchases of the Company. The Company is involved in various claims and lawsuits incidental to its business. In the opinion of management, these claims and suits in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or the results of operations for future periods. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations", and SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." The adoption of SFAS No. 143 and 144 is not expected to have a material affect on the consolidated financial statements. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS This report contains certain forward-looking statements. In addition, from time to time the Company may issue press releases and other written communications, and representatives of the Company may make oral statements, which contain forward-looking information. Except for historical information, matters discussed in such oral and written communications are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes that any 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 any forward-looking statements. A number of factors could affect the 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.
