Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Participants and Administrator
of the Genesco Employee Stock Purchase Plan
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of the
Genesco Employee Stock Purchase Plan as of January 29, 2005 and January 31, 2004
and the related statements of income and changes in plan equity for each of the
three fiscal years in the period ended January 29, 2005. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an
audit of the Plan's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits
include consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis
for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan's
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly we express no such
opinion. An audit also 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 our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Genesco Employee Stock
Purchase Plan at January 29, 2005 and January 31, 2004, and the changes in
income and plan equity for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended
January 29, 2005, in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting
principles.

Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 1
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The records of the Genesco Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan") are
prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
All expenses incurred in administration of the Plan are paid by Genesco Inc.
(the "Company") and are excluded from these financial statements.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles requires Plan management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of Plan assets and liabilities and
disclosure of any contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of changes in Plan equity during the period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be
material.
NOTE 2
THE PLAN
BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY
The following description of the Plan provides only general information.
Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description
of the Plan's provisions.
The Plan became effective October 1, 1995 to advance the interests of the
Company and its shareholders by attracting and retaining qualified employees and
by encouraging them to identify with shareholder interests through the
acquisition of shares of the Company's common stock.
ELIGIBILITY
Each employee whose total annual base salary is less than $90,000 and whose
customary employment is greater that 20 hours per week and greater than five
months per year is eligible to participate in the Plan if the employee has been
employed by the Company for at least six months prior to the grant date. The
Plan excludes statutory insiders and five percent shareholders.
CONTRIBUTIONS
Contributions to the Plan are solely from participating employees of the Company
who, through after-tax payroll deductions, may use their contributions to
purchase common stock of the Company at the end of a one-year option period. The
maximum number of shares available to any participant is the lesser of 2,000 a
year or that number of shares equal to $10,000 divided by the closing market
price of the common stock on the grant date or the exercise date. The maximum
contribution is the lesser of $8,500 a year or 15% of the participant's base pay
as of October 1. The minimum contribution is $250 per participant per year.
Shares will be purchased September 30 of the year following the October 1 grant
date with the initial grant date being October 1, 1995.

NOTE 2
THE PLAN, CONTINUED
CONTRIBUTIONS (CONTINUED)
An option enables the participant to purchase shares of the Company's common
stock at the lesser of 85% of the market value on the grant date or the exercise
date. Options are to be granted each year through and including October 1, 2005,
unless the board of directors, at its discretion, determines in advance that no
options are to be granted. The cumulative number of shares which may be
purchased under the Plan is 1,000,000. The options granted and rights thereto
may not be sold, assigned, pledged or otherwise transferred.
PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS
Periodically throughout the year, each participant is provided with statements
reflecting the value of his or her account. Participant contributions are held
by the Company, which has an unsecured obligation to the Plan.
At the exercise date, the Company issues stock that is transferred to a
brokerage firm and distributed according to the number of options exercised by
each participant.
VESTING
Participants are 100% vested in the value of their account and may withdraw from
the Plan at any time except during the period September 15 through September 30
which is the time that preparations are made for the issuance of the stock each
year.
If a participant is terminated for any reason other than retirement, disability
or death, the participant's involvement in the Plan and any unexercised options
automatically terminate, and the participant will receive the account balance in
cash.
TERMINATION OF THE PLAN
The Company reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time. In the event
of Plan termination, the balance of each participant's account shall be paid in
cash as soon as is reasonably practical.
PLAN ADMINISTRATOR
The Plan is to be administered by the compensation committee of the Company's
board of directors or another designee of the board of directors.
INCOME TAX STATUS
The Plan is intended to qualify as an Employee Stock Purchase Plan within the
meaning of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 ("the Code"), as
amended. Issuance of shares under this Plan are not intended to result in
taxable income to participants in the Plan based on provisions of the Code.
Accordingly, no income will result for federal income tax purposes when an
option is granted or exercised; however, income may result upon disposition of
the stock. Management believes that the Plan is operating in compliance with the
Code and, therefore, no provision for income taxes has been reflected in the
accompanying financial statements.

At the beginning of each option period, the Company estimates the number of
options to be granted based on participant contributions and the current stock
price. At the end of the option period, the Company grants options to each plan
participant. In the event plan contributions, withdrawals or the stock price are
different than originally estimated, additional or fewer options may be granted
at the end of the option period (exercise date).
