CASUAL MALE CORP. (THE "COMPANY") IS UNABLE TO MEET THE FILING DATE
FOR ITS ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED FEBRUARY 3,
2001 WITHOUT UNREASONABLE EFFORT OR EXPENSE. THE COMPANY IS CURRENTLY IN

WHICH, IF NOT CONSUMMATED, MAY HAVE A MATERIAL EFFECT ON THE COMPANY'S
FINANCIAL CONDITION, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND/OR OTHER DISCLOSURES
REQUIRED BY FORM 10-K. THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THESE TRANSACTIONS
WILL BE CONSUMMATED. IN ADDITION, THE COMPANY HAS EMPLOYED ITS INTERNAL AND
EXTERNAL FINANCIAL RESOURCES TOWARDS THE CONSUMMATION OF THESE
TRANSACTIONS, WHICH HAS DELAYED THE PREPARATION OF INFORMATION NECESSARY TO
COMPLETE THE REPORT. THE COMPANY CURRENTLY INTENDS TO FILE ITS ANNUAL
REPORT ON FORM 10-K WITHIN THE TIME PERIOD SPECIFIED BY RULE 12(b)-25(b)(2)
OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.
