                        Report of Independent Accountants

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index
appearing under Item 14 on page 71, presents fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of Genesco Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") at
February 3, 2001 and January 29, 2000, and the results of their operations and
their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended February 3,
2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule
listed in the index appearing under Item 14 on page 71 presents fairly, in all
material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction
with the related consolidated financial statements. These financial statements
and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted
our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

NOTE 1

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

The Company's businesses include the manufacture or sourcing, marketing and
distribution of footwear principally under the Johnston & Murphy and Dockers
brands and the operation at February 3, 2001 of 779 Jarman, Journeys, Johnston &
Murphy and Underground Station retail footwear stores and leased departments.
The Company entered into an agreement with Nautica Apparel, Inc. to end its
license to market footwear under the Nautica label, effective January 31, 2001.
The Company will continue to sell Nautica - branded footwear for the first six
months of Fiscal 2002 in order to fill existing customer orders and sell
existing inventory. (See Note 2). The Company also sold certain assets of its
Volunteer Leather business on June 19, 2000, and has discontinued all Leather
segment operations. (See Note 2). Because of the acquisition of Mercantile by
Dillards Inc., the Company ended its operation of the Jarman Leased departments
in Fiscal 2000. The Company had 78 Jarman Leased departments at January 30,
1999. The Company transferred the remaining Jarman Leased departments to
Dillards Inc. and Saks Inc. during the first quarter ended May 1, 1999. The
Jarman Leased departments business contributed sales of approximately $1.2
million and $47.4 million and operating earnings (loss) of $(0.3) million and
$2.1 million in Fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

All subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements. All
significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

FISCAL YEAR

The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to January 31. As a
result, Fiscal 2001 was a 53-week year with 371 days and Fiscal 2000 and 1999
were 52-week years with 364 days. Fiscal Year 2001 ended on February 3, 2001,
Fiscal Year 2000 ended on January 29, 2000 and Fiscal Year 1999 ended on January
30, 1999.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior years' data to the
current presentation.

CASH AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

Included in cash and short-term investments at February 3, 2001 and January 29,
2000, are short-term investments of $53.3 million and $47.1 million,
respectively. Short-term investments are highly-liquid debt instruments having
an original maturity of three months or less.

NOTE 1

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED

INVENTORIES

Inventories of wholesaling and manufacturing companies are stated at the lower
of cost or market, with cost determined principally by the first-in, first-out
method. Retail inventories are determined by the retail method.

PLANT, EQUIPMENT AND CAPITAL LEASES

Plant, equipment and capital leases are recorded at cost and depreciated or
amortized over the estimated useful life of related assets. Depreciation and
amortization expense are computed principally by the straight-line method over
estimated useful lives:


                                                   
                  Buildings And building equipment    20-45 years
                  Machinery, furniture and fixtures    3-15 years


Leasehold improvements and properties under capital leases are amortized on the
straight-line method over the shorter of their useful lives or their related
lease terms.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-TERM ASSETS

The Company periodically assesses the realizability of its long-lived assets and
evaluates such assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Asset
impairment is determined to exist if estimated future cash flows, undiscounted
and without interest charges, are less than carrying amount.

HEDGING CONTRACTS

In order to reduce exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in
connection with inventory purchase commitments, the Company enters into foreign
currency forward exchange contracts for Italian Lira and Euro. At February 3,
2001 and January 29, 2000, the Company had approximately $31.3 million and $30.1
million, respectively, of such contracts outstanding. Forward exchange contracts
have an average term of approximately four and one half months. The gain from
these contracts for Fiscal 2001 was $1.3 million and the loss from these
contracts for Fiscal 2000 was $2.5 million. The Company monitors the credit
quality of the major national and regional financial institutions with whom it
enters into such contracts.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company's financial instruments at
February 3, 2001 and January 29, 2000 are:

Carrying amounts reported on the balance sheet for cash, short-term investments,
receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term
maturity of these instruments.

The fair value of the Company's long-term debt was based on dealer prices on the
respective balance sheet dates.

POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

Substantially all full-time employees are covered by a defined benefit pension
plan. The Company also provides certain former employees with limited medical
and life insurance benefits. The Company funds at least the minimum amount
required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.

The Company implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 132,
"Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits" in the
fourth quarter of Fiscal 1999. This statement standardizes the disclosure
requirements for pensions and other postretirement benefits to the extent
practicable, requires additional information on changes in the benefit
obligations and fair values of plan assets that will facilitate financial
analysis, and eliminates certain disclosures that are no longer as useful (see
Note 14).

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Retail sales are recorded net of actual returns, and exclude all taxes, while
wholesale revenue is recorded net of estimated returns when the related goods
have been shipped and legal title has passed to the customer.

PREOPENING COSTS

Costs associated with the opening of new stores are expensed as incurred.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


NOTE 1

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED

ADVERTISING COSTS

Advertising costs are predominantly expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were
$23.0 million, $19.1 million and $19.4 million for Fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.

ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS

Environmental expenditures relating to current operations are expensed or
capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures relating to an existing condition
caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future
revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental
assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably
estimated and are evaluated independently of any future claims for recovery.
Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with completion of a
feasibility study or the Company's commitment to a formal plan of action. Costs
of future expenditures for environmental remediation obligations are not
discounted to their present value.

INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes are provided for all temporary differences and operating
loss and tax credit carryforwards limited, in the case of deferred tax assets,
to the amount the Company believes is more likely than not to be realized in the
foreseeable future.

EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income
available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential
dilution that could occur if securities to issue common stock were exercised or
converted to common stock. (see Note 15).

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

The Company implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income" in the first quarter of Fiscal 1999. This
statement establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive
income. SFAS 130 requires, among other things, the Company's minimum pension
liability adjustment to be included in other comprehensive income.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Company implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 131,
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" in the
fourth quarter of Fiscal 1999. The standard requires that companies disclose
"operating segments" based on the way management disaggregates the company for
making internal operating decisions. (see Notes 2 and 18).

RESTRUCTURINGS

Nautica Footwear License Cancellation

The Company entered into an agreement with Nautica Apparel, Inc. to end its
license to market footwear under the Nautica label, effective January 31, 2001.
The Company will continue to sell Nautica - branded footwear for the first six
months of Fiscal 2002 in order to fill existing customer orders and sell
existing inventory.

In connection with the termination of the Nautica Footwear license agreement,
the Company recorded a pretax charge to earnings of $4.4 million ($2.7 million
net of tax) in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2001. The charge includes
contractual obligations to Nautica Apparel for the license cancellation and
other costs, primarily severance. Included in the charge is a $1.0 million
inventory write-down which is reflected in gross margin on the income statement.
All of these costs are expected to be incurred in the next twelve months.

The Nautica footwear business contributed sales of approximately $18.8 million,
$28.4 million and $29.7 million and operating losses of ($2.5) million, ($2.2)
million and ($0.3) million in Fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Volunteer Leather Divestiture

On May 22, 2000, the Company's board of directors approved a plan to sell its
Volunteer Leather finishing business and liquidate its tanning business, to
allow the Company to be more focused on the retailing and marketing of branded
footwear.

Certain assets of the Volunteer Leather business were sold on June 19, 2000. The
plan resulted in a pretax charge to second quarter earnings of $4.9 million
($3.0 million net of tax). Because Volunteer Leather constitutes the entire
Leather segment of the Company's business, the charge to earnings is treated for
financial reporting purposes as a provision for discontinued operations.

The provision for discontinued operations included $1.3 million for asset
write-downs and $3.6 million for other costs, of which $2.3 million are expected
to be incurred in the next twelve months. As of February 3, 2001, $1.1 million
of such other costs had been incurred. Other costs include primarily employee
severance and facility shutdown costs. The approximately $1.3 million of other
costs expected to be incurred beyond twelve months are classified as long-term
liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. The Volunteer Leather business
employed approximately 160 people.

* Results for the four months ended May 2000.

Discontinued operations' sales subsequent to the decision to discontinue were

Workforce Reduction

In connection with the exit of the western boot business and the closing of the
Jarman Leased departments, the Company reviewed the structure and level of
staffing in all of its operations during the third and fourth quarters of Fiscal
1999. Upon completion of the review, the Company recorded a $1.3 million charge
to earnings, included in selling and administrative expenses, during the fourth
quarter of Fiscal 1999 for a workforce reduction of 66 positions, of which
substantially all were eliminated by January 29, 2000. Twenty-six of the
positions eliminated related to the Jarman Leased departments business, with the
remainder being primarily employed at corporate headquarters.

===========================================================================================


The Company's footwear wholesaling business sells primarily to independent
retailers and department stores across the United States. Receivables arising
from these sales are not collateralized. Credit risk is affected by conditions
or occurrences within the economy and the retail industry. The Company
establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding
the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.
One customer accounted for slightly less than 20% of the Company's trade
receivables balance as of February 3, 2001 and no other customer accounted for
more than 10% of the Company's trade receivables balance as of February 3, 2001.

REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT:

On September 24, 1997, the Company entered into a revolving credit agreement
with three banks providing for loans or letters of credit of up to $65 million
which, as amended, expires September 24, 2002. This agreement replaced a $35
million revolving credit agreement providing for loans or letters of credit.
Outstanding letters of credit at February 3, 2001 were $9.8 million; no loans
were outstanding at that date.

Under the revolving credit agreement, the Company may borrow at the prime rate
or LIBOR plus 1.25% which may be changed if the Company's pricing ratio (as
defined in the credit agreement) changes. Facility fees are 0.375% per annum on
$65.0 million and also vary based on the pricing ratio. The revolving credit
agreement requires the Company to meet certain financial ratios and covenants,
including minimum tangible net worth, fixed charge coverage and debt to equity
ratios. The Company is required by the credit agreement to reduce the
outstanding principal balance of the revolving loans to zero for 30 consecutive
days during each period beginning on December 15 of any fiscal year and ending
on April 15 of the following fiscal year. The revolving credit agreement, as
amended, contains other covenants which restrict the payment of dividends and
other payments with respect to capital stock. In addition, annual capital
expenditures are limited to $36.0 million for Fiscal 2001 and thereafter,
subject to possible carryforwards from the previous year of up to $3.0 million
if less is spent in the current year. The Company was in compliance with the
financial covenants contained in the revolving credit agreement at February 3,
2001.

10 3/8% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2003:

On February 1, 1993, the Company issued $75 million of 10 3/8% senior notes due
February 1, 2003. These notes were redeemed on May 8, 1998, resulting in a $3.7
million extraordinary loss ($2.2 million net of tax) for early retirement of
debt recognized in the second quarter of Fiscal 1999.

LONG-TERM DEBT, CONTINUED

5 1/2% CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES DUE 2005:

On April 9, 1998, the Company issued $103.5 million of 5 1/2% convertible
subordinated notes due April 15, 2005. The notes are convertible into 47.5172
shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (equivalent to a
conversion price of $21.045 per share of common stock), subject to adjustment.
During the second quarter of Fiscal 1999 the Company used: 1) $79.9 million of
the proceeds to repay all of the Company's 10 3/8% senior notes including
interest and expenses incurred in connection therewith, resulting in an
extraordinary loss of $3.7 million ($2.2 million net of tax), 2) $1.3 million of
the proceeds to pay preferred dividends in arrears because of certain covenants
in the indenture relating to the senior notes, and 3) the remaining proceeds for
general corporate purposes. Expenses incurred relating to the issuance were
capitalized and are being amortized over the term of the notes.

The indenture pursuant to which the convertible subordinated notes were issued
does not restrict the incurrence of Senior Debt by the Company or other
indebtedness or liabilities by the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

NOTE 12
SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY, CONTINUED

The Company's shareholders' rights plan grants to common shareholders the right
to purchase, at a specified exercise price, a fraction of a share of
subordinated serial preferred stock, Series 6, in the event of an acquisition
of, or an announced tender offer for, 15% or more of the Company's outstanding
common stock. Upon any such event, each right also entitles the holder (other
than the person making such acquisition or tender offer) to purchase, at the
exercise price, shares of common stock having a market value of twice the
exercise price. In the event the Company is acquired in a transaction in which
the Company is not the surviving corporation, each right would entitle its
holder to purchase, at the exercise price, shares of the acquiring company
having a market value of twice the exercise price. The rights expire in August
2010, are redeemable under certain circumstances for $.01 per right and are
subject to exchange for one share of common stock or an equivalent amount of
preferred stock at any time after the event which makes the rights exercisable
and before a majority of the Company's common stock is acquired.

$1.50 SUBORDINATED CUMULATIVE PREFERRED STOCK:
Stated and liquidation values and redemption price--$30 per share.

Stated and liquidation values--$30 per share.

NOTE 12
SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY, CONTINUED

RESTRICTIONS ON DIVIDENDS AND REDEMPTIONS OF CAPITAL STOCK:
The Company's charter provides that no dividends may be paid and no shares of
capital stock acquired for value if there are dividend or redemption arrearages
on any senior or equally ranked stock. Exchanges of subordinated serial
preferred stock for common stock or other stock junior to such exchanged stock
are permitted.

The Company's revolving credit agreement restricts the payment of dividends and
other payments with respect to capital stock. At February 3, 2001, $30.7 million
was available for such payments.

The April 9, 1998 indenture, under which the Company's 5 1/2% convertible
subordinated notes due 2005 were issued, does not restrict the payment of
dividends.

Dividends declared for Fiscal 2001 for the Company's Subordinated Serial
Preferred Stock, $2.30 Series 1, $4.75 Series 3 and $4.75 Series 4, and the
Company's $1.50 Subordinated Cumulative Preferred Stock were $299,000.

NOTE 13
INCOME TAXES, CONTINUED

The Company establishes valuation allowances in accordance with the provisions
of FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The Company
continually reviews the adequacy of the valuation allowance and is recognizing
these benefits only as the Company believes that it is more likely than not that
the benefits will be realized.

The Company previously limited the recognition of deferred tax assets to an
amount no greater than the amount of tax refunds the Company could claim as loss
carrybacks. In the fourth quarter of Fiscal 1999, due to increased levels of
profitability, future income projections and the substantial removal of
uncertainties surrounding the Company's divestitures, the valuation allowance
was reduced by a net $40.0 million resulting in a net tax benefit of $24.1
million. In Fiscal 2000, the valuation allowance related primarily to the
Company's capital loss carryforward which could only be used to offset capital
gains. The expiration and partial use of the Company's capital loss carryforward
in Fiscal 2001 eliminated the need for the valuation allowance.

Reconciliation of the United States federal statutory rate to the Company's
effective tax rate is as follows:

NOTE 14
RETIREMENT AND OTHER BENEFIT PLANS

The Company sponsors a non-contributory, defined benefit pension plan. Effective
January 1, 1996, the Company amended the plan to change the pension benefit
formula to a cash balance formula from the existing benefit calculation based
upon years of service and final average pay. The benefits accrued under the old
formula were frozen as of December 31, 1995. Upon retirement, the participant
will receive this accrued benefit payable as an annuity. In addition, the
participant will receive as a lump sum (or annuity if desired) the amount
credited to their cash balance account under the new formula.

Under the amended plan, beginning January 1, 1996, the Company credits each
participants' account annually with an amount equal to 4% of the participant's
compensation plus 4% of the participant's compensation in excess of the Social
Security taxable wage base. Beginning December 31, 1996 and annually thereafter,
the account balance of each active participant will be credited with 7% interest
calculated on the sum of the balance as of the beginning of the plan year and
50% of the amounts credited to the account, other than interest, for the plan
year. The account balance of each participant who is inactive will be credited
with interest at the lesser of 7% or the 30 year Treasury interest rate.

The Company provides health care benefits for early retirees and life insurance
benefits for certain retirees not covered by collective bargaining agreements.
Under the health care plan, early retirees are eligible for limited benefits
until age 65. Employees who meet certain requirements are eligible for life
insurance benefits upon retirement. The Company accrues such benefits during the
period in which the employee renders service.

The weighted average discount rate used to measure the benefit obligation for
the pension plan decreased from 8.00% to 7.875% from Fiscal 2000 to Fiscal 2001.
The decrease in the rate increased the accumulated benefit obligation by $1.2
million and increased the projected benefit obligation by $1.2 million. The
weighted average discount rate used to measure the benefit obligation for the
pension plan increased from 6.75% to 8.00% from Fiscal 1999 to Fiscal 2000. The
increase in the rate decreased the accumulated benefit obligation by $11.3
million and decreased the projected benefit obligation by $12.4 million.

For measurement purposes, a 7.50% increase in the health care cost trend rate
was used for Fiscal 2001. The trend rate is assumed to decrease gradually to
5.00% by Fiscal 2013. The effect on disclosure information of one percentage
point change in the assumed health care cost trend rate for each future year is
shown below.

SECTION 401(K) SAVINGS PLAN

The Company has a Section 401(k) Savings Plan available to employees who have
completed one full year of service and are age 21 or older.

Concurrent with the January 1, 1996 amendment to the pension plan (discussed
previously), the Company amended the 401(k) savings plan to make matching
contributions equal to 50% of each employee's contribution of up to 5% of
salary. Matching funds vest after five years of service with the Company. Years
of service earned prior to the adoption of this change contribute toward the
vesting requirement. The contribution expense to the Company for the matching
program was approximately $0.9 million for Fiscal 2001 and $1.0 million for
Fiscal 2000 and 1999.

(1) These options are contingent upon service to the Company and the Company's
    common stock trading at various prices. See Note 16 to the Consolidated
    Financial Statements under "Restricted Stock Options."

(2) The Company's Employees' Subordinated Convertible Preferred Stock is
    convertible one for one to the Company's common stock. Because there are no
    dividends paid on this stock, these shares are assumed to be converted.

The amount of the dividend on the convertible preferred stock per common share
obtainable on conversion of the convertible preferred is higher than basic
earnings per share for the period. Therefore, conversion of the convertible
preferred stock is not reflected in diluted earnings per share, because it would
have been antidilutive. The shares convertible to common stock for Series 1, 3
and 4 preferred stock would have been 30,675, 38,324 and 24,946, respectively.

There were no options excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per
share for Fiscal 2001 because all the options' exercise prices were lower than
the average market price of the common shares.

Options to purchase 343,500 shares of common stock at $13.19 per share, 123,000
shares of common stock at $12.75 per share, 28,000 shares of common stock at
$13.69 per share and 10,000 shares of common stock at $13.06 per share were
outstanding at the end of Fiscal 2000 but were not included in the computation
of diluted earnings per share because the options' exercise price was greater
than the average market price of the common shares.

Options to purchase 284,000 shares of common stock at $11.00 per share, 157,250
shares of common stock at $12.75 per share and 250,000 shares of common stock at
$6.06 per share were outstanding at the end of Fiscal 1999 but were not included
in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options' exercise
price was greater than the average market price of the common shares.


The weighted shares outstanding reflects the effect of the stock buy back
program of up to 6.8 million shares announced by the Company in Fiscal 1999,
2000 and 2001. The Company has repurchased 6.4 million shares as of February 3,
2001.

STOCK OPTION PLANS

The Company's stock-based compensation plans, as of February 3, 2001, are
described below. The Company applies APB Opinion 25 and related Interpretations
in accounting for its plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been
recognized other than for its restricted stock options. The compensation cost
that has been charged against income for its restricted plans was $3.8 million,
$0.6 million and $1.1 million for Fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The
compensation cost that has been charged against shareholders' equity for its
directors' restricted stock plan was $110,000, $105,000 and $89,000 for Fiscal
2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Had compensation cost for all of the
Company's stock-based compensation plans been determined based on the fair value
at the grant dates for awards under those plans consistent with the methodology
prescribed by FAS 123, the Company's net income and earnings per share would
have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

FIXED STOCK OPTION PLANS

The Company has two fixed option plans. Under the 1987 Stock Option Plan, the
Company may grant options to its management personnel for up to 2.2 million
shares of common stock. Under the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan, the Company may
grant options to its officers and other key employees of and consultants to the
Company for up to 2.3 million shares of common stock, which excludes 200,000
shares reserved for issuance to outside directors. Under both plans, the
exercise price of each option equals the market price of the Company's stock on
the date of grant and an option's maximum term is 10 years. Options granted
under both plans vest 25% at the end of each year with the exception of shares
granted February 20, 1995 which vest 20% at the end of each year.

NOTE 16

STOCK OPTION PLANS, CONTINUED

With regard to the 200,000 shares reserved for issuance to outside directors, an
automatic grant of restricted stock will be given to outside directors on the
date of the annual meeting of shareholders at which an outside director is first
elected. The outside director restricted stock shall vest with respect to
one-third of the shares each year as long as the director is still serving as a
director. Once the shares have vested, the director is restricted from selling,
transferring, pledging or assigning the shares for an additional two years.
There were 926 shares and 1,139 shares of restricted stock issued to directors
for Fiscal 2001 and 2000, respectively. There were no shares issued in Fiscal
1999. An outside director may elect irrevocably to receive all or a specified
portion of his annual retainers for board membership and any committee
chairmanship for the following fiscal year in a number of shares of restricted
stock (the "Retainer Stock"). Shares of the Retainer Stock shall be granted as
of the first business day of the fiscal year as to which the election is
effective, subject to forfeiture to the extent not earned upon the Outside
Director's ceasing to serve as a director or committee chairman during such
fiscal year. Once the shares are earned, the director is restricted from
selling, transferring, pledging or assigning the shares for an additional four
years. There were 9,116 shares, 9,157 shares and 4,555 shares of Retainer Stock
issued to directors for Fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Annually on
the date of the annual meeting of shareholders, each outside director shall
receive the automatic grant of options to purchase 4,000 shares of common stock
at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the
date of grant. These stock options become exercisable six months after their
respective dates of grant, and expire in ten years. There were 32,000 and 28,000
shares of stock options issued to directors for Fiscal 2001 and 2000,
respectively.

The weighted-average fair value of each option granted in the fixed stock option
plans described above is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model -average assumptions used for grants in Fiscal 2001, 2000
and 1999, respectively: expected volatility of 62, 62 and 62 percent; risk-free
interest rates of 5.3, 6.7 and 5.0 percent; and expected lives of 6.7, 7.6 and
7.0 years, respectively.

RESTRICTED STOCK OPTIONS

On January 10, 1997, 200,000 shares of restricted stock were granted to the
chairman of the board under the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan. The stock price at
the date of grant was $9 per share. The restrictions lapsed for one third of the
shares (66,667 shares) on January 31, 1998 and the second one third of the
shares on January 31, 1999. The restrictions would lapse for the last one third
of the shares on January 31, 2000 if (1) the chairman remains on the board of
the Company and serves as chairman or in such other capacity as the board may
request through that date and (2) the Company's common stock trades at or above
$15.00 per share for 20 consecutive trading days during Fiscal 2000. The
chairman resigned in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2000. The last one third of
the shares were not issued since the above conditions were not met. There was
compensation income of $0.5 million for these options in Fiscal 2000.
Compensation cost charged against income for these options was $0.8 million in
Fiscal 1999.

As of the beginning of the first quarter of Fiscal 1999, a three year long term
incentive plan was approved for the president - CEO (at that time) which covered
Fiscal 1999 through Fiscal 2001. The incentive plan provides a maximum of
300,000 performance shares of stock to be awarded based on cumulative revenue
growth, cumulative earnings before income taxes to sales ratio and cumulative
assets to sales ratio. There were 118,449 and 34,344 shares issued in Fiscal
2001 and 2000, respectively. Compensation cost charged against income for these
options was $3.7 million, $1.1 million and $0.4 million in Fiscal 2001, 2000 and
1999, respectively.

STOCK OPTION PLANS, CONTINUED

On October 16, 2000, another three year long term incentive plan was approved
for the Chairman and CEO which covers Fiscal 2002 through Fiscal 2004. The
incentive plan provides a target payout of $470,000 in stock if the Company's
total return to shareholders equals the average of two published indices, the
Bloomberg U.S. Apparel Index and the S & P 500 Consumer Cyclical Index. The
number of shares to be issued is based on the closing price of the stock on
October 16, 2000 or $16.63 per share which totals 28,262 shares. These shares
vest 100% at the end of three years as long as the Chairman and CEO has either
remained an employee or director, or (if he has retired) has not violated the
terms of a non-compete provision. Compensation cost charged against income for
these options was $39,000 in Fiscal 2001.

EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

Under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, the Company is authorized to issue up to
1.0 million shares of common stock to those full-time employees whose total
annual base salary is less than $100,000. Under the terms of the Plan, employees
can choose each year to have up to 15 percent of their annual base earnings
withheld to purchase the Company's common stock. The purchase price of the stock
is 85 percent of the closing market price of the stock on either the exercise
date or the grant date, whichever is less. Under the Plan, the Company sold
54,582 shares, 122,362 shares and 106,800 shares to employees in Fiscal 2001,
2000 and 1999, respectively. Compensation cost is recognized for the fair value
of the employees' purchase rights, which was estimated using the Black-Scholes
model with the following assumptions for Fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999,
respectively: an expected life of 1 year for all years; expected volatility of
58, 47 and 82 percent; and risk-free interest rates of 5.1, 6.1 and 4.6 percent.
The weighted-average fair value of those purchase rights granted in Fiscal 2001,
2000 and 1999 was $6.86, $4.26 and $2.47, respectively.

STOCK PURCHASE PLANS

Stock purchase accounts arising out of sales to employees prior to 1972 under
certain employee stock purchase plans amounted to $226,000 and $250,000 at
February 3, 2001 and January 29, 2000, respectively, and were secured at
February 3, 2001, by 12,107 employees' preferred shares. Payments on stock
purchase accounts under the stock purchase plans have been indefinitely
deferred. No further sales under these plans are contemplated.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

New York State Environmental Proceedings

The Company is a defendant in a civil action filed by the State of New York
against the City of Gloversville, New York, and 33 other private defendants. The
action arose out of the alleged disposal of certain hazardous material directly
or indirectly into a municipal landfill and seeks recovery under a federal
environmental statute and certain common law theories for the costs of
investigating and performing remedial actions and damage to natural resources.
The environmental authorities have selected a plan of remediation for the site
with a total estimated cost of approximately $12.0 million. The Company was
allocated liability for a 1.31% share of the remediation cost in non-binding
mediation with other defendants and the State of New York. The State has offered
to release the Company from further liability related to the site in exchange
for payment of its allocated share plus a small premium, and the Company has
accepted. Assuming the settlement is completed as proposed, the Company believes
it has fully provided for its liability in connection with the site.

The Company has received notice from the New York State Department of
Environmental Conservation (the "Department") that it deems remedial action to
be necessary with respect to certain contaminants in the vicinity of a knitting
mill operated by a former subsidiary of the Company from 1965 to 1969, and that
it considers the Company a potentially responsible party. In August 1997, the
Department and the Company entered into a consent order whereby the Company
assumed responsibility for conducting a remedial investigation and feasibility
study ("RIFS") and implementing an interim remediation measure with regard to
the site, without admitting liability or accepting responsibility for any future
remediation of the site. In conjunction with the consent order, the Company
entered into an agreement with the owner of the site providing for a release
from liability for property damage and for necessary access to the site, for
payments totaling $400,000. The Company estimates that the cost of conducting
the RIFS and implementing the interim remedial measure will be in the range of
$2.2 million to $2.6 million. The Company believes that it has adequately
reserved for the costs of conducting the RIFS and implementing the interim
remedial measure contemplated by the consent order, but there is no assurance
that the consent order will ultimately resolve the matter. The Company has not
ascertained what responsibility, if any, it has for any contamination in
connection with the facility or what other parties may be liable in that
connection and is unable to predict whether its liability, if any, beyond that
voluntarily assumed by the consent order will have a material effect on its
financial condition or results of operations.

WHITEHALL ENVIRONMENTAL SAMPLING

Pursuant to a work plan approved by the Michigan Department of Environmental
Quality ("MDEQ") the Company has performed sampling and analysis of soil,
sediments, surface water, groundwater and waste management areas at the
Company's Volunteer Leather Company facility in Whitehall, Michigan. On June 29,
1999, the Company submitted a remedial action plan (the "Plan") for the site to
MDEQ. The Plan proposed no direct remedial action with respect to soils at the
site, which are in compliance with applicable regulatory standards, or lake
sediments, which the Company believes do not pose a threat to human health or
the environment and do not violate any applicable regulatory standard. The Plan
included the filing of certain restrictive covenants encumbering the tannery
property to prevent activities disturbing the lake sediments and uses of the
property inconsistent with the applicable regulatory standards. The Company,
with the approval of MDEQ, previously installed horizontal wells to capture
groundwater from a portion of the site and treat it by air sparging. The Plan
proposed continued operation of this system for an indefinite period and
monitoring of groundwater samples to ensure that the system is functioning as
intended. The Plan is subject to MDEQ approval. In December 1999, MDEQ responded
to the Plan with a request for further information.

On June 30, 1999, the City of Whitehall filed an action against the Company in
the circuit court for the City of Muskegon alleging that the Company's and its
predecessors' past wastewater management practices have adversely affected the
environment, and seeking injunctive relief under Parts 17 and 201 of the
Michigan Natural Resources Environmental Protection Act ("MNREPA") to require
the Company to correct the alleged pollution. Further, the City alleges
violations of City ordinances prohibiting blight and litter, and that the
Whitehall Volunteer Leather plant constitutes a public nuisance. The Company
filed an answer denying the material allegations of the complaint and asserting
affirmative defenses and counterclaims against the City. The Company also moved
to join the State of Michigan as a party to the action, since it has primary
responsibility for administration of the environmental statutes underlying most
of the City's claims. The State moved to dismiss the Company's action against it
and to intervene in the case on a limited basis, seeking declaratory and
injunctive relief regarding the restrictive covenants on the property, the
State's jurisdiction under MNREPA Part 201 and its right of access to the
property. On May 5, 2000, the court dismissed the Company's action against the
State; the cross actions between the City and the Company remain.

In connection with its decision during the second quarter of Fiscal 2001 to exit
the leather business and to shut down the Whitehall facility, the Company
formally proposed a compromise remediation plan (the "Compromise Proposal"),
including limited sediment removal and additional upland remediation to bring
the property into compliance with regulatory standards for non-industrial uses.
The Company estimated that the Compromise Proposal would include incremental
costs of approximately $2.2 million, which were fully provided for during the
quarter.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS, CONTINUED

If the Compromise Proposal is approved and the litigation's outcome does not
require additional remediation of the site, the Company does not expect
remediation to have a material impact on its financial condition or results of
operations. However, there can be no assurance that the Compromise Proposal will
be approved, and the Company is unable to predict whether any further
remediation that may ultimately be required will have a material effect on its
financial condition or results of operations.

WHITEHALL ACCIDENT

On June 4, 1999, a truck driver working under contact with a carrier for a
chemical vendor died after inhaling a toxic vapor produced when he deposited a
chemical compound that he was delivering to the Company's Whitehall, Michigan
leather tannery into a tank containing another chemical solution. Regulatory
authorities, including the National Transportation Safety Board and the Michigan
Occupational Safety and Health Administration, investigated the incident. The
Michigan agency issued six citations alleging regulatory infractions identified
in the course of a general compliance review following the accident. Proposed
monetary penalties associated with the citations total $15,100. The Company
contested the citations; ultimately, the monetary penalties were reduced to
$7,600, which the Company has paid. On March 14, 2000, the estate of the
deceased truck driver brought an action against the Company in Michigan state
court alleging that the Company's negligent acts and omissions caused his death
and seeking unspecified damages. In February 2001, the Company reached a
settlement of the action, which was funded by insurance. The Company does not
expect any additional material effects related to the accident.

Threatened Contribution Claim

The Company has been advised by the current owner of an adhesives manufacturing
business formerly owned by the Company that the owner has been named a
third-party defendant in a suit brought under CERCLA relating to an Alabama
solvent recycling facility allegedly used by the business. According to the
owner, it would in turn seek contribution from the Company against any portion
of its liability arising out of the Company's operation of the business prior to
its 1986 divestiture. The current owner has advised the Company that available
information on volumes of contaminants at the site indicates that the entire
share of liability related to the adhesives business is de minimis, not likely
to exceed $50,000. Based on information concerning its relative contribution of
wastes to the site the Company has agreed to accept approximately 40% of up to
$50,000 in liability imposed on the adhesives business and the current owner and
one other former owner have agreed to accept the balance of such liability up to
$50,000. The Company does not expect this threatened claim to have a material
adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company currently operates four reportable business segments (not including
corporate): Journeys; Jarman, comprised primarily of the Jarman and Underground
Station retail footwear chains; Johnston & Murphy, comprised of Johnston &
Murphy retail stores, direct marketing and wholesale distribution; and Licensed
Brands, comprised of Dockers and Nautica Footwear. The Company has ended the
license agreement with Nautica Apparel, Inc. to market Nautica footwear
effective January 31, 2001. In Fiscal 2000 the Company operated the Other Retail
segment, comprised of General Shoe Warehouse and the Jarman Leased departments,
both of which were closed in Fiscal 2000. All the Company's segments sell
footwear products at either retail or wholesale. The Company also operated the
Leather segment in Fiscal 2000 and some of Fiscal 2001. The Company sold certain
assets of its Volunteer Leather business on June 19, 2000, and has discontinued
all Leather segment operations.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the
summary of significant accounting policies.

The Company's reportable segments are based on the way management organizes the
segments in order to make operating decisions and assess performance along types
of products sold. Journeys and Jarman sells primarily branded products from
other companies while Johnston & Murphy and Licensed Brands sells primarily the
Company's owned and licensed brands.

Corporate assets include cash, deferred income taxes, prepaid pension cost and
deferred note expense. The Company does not allocate certain costs to each
segment in order to make decisions and assess performance. These costs include
corporate overhead, restructuring gains and losses, interest expense, interest
income, and other charges. Other includes severance, litigation and
environmental charges.
