Tropical Sportswear Int'l Corporation (the "Company") includes the accounts of

5. SUPPLEMENTAL COMBINING CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company's Senior Subordinated Notes, due 2008 (the "Notes") are jointly and
severally guaranteed by the Company's domestic subsidiaries. The wholly-owned
foreign subsidiaries are not guarantors with respect to the Notes and do not
have any credit arrangements senior to the Notes except for their local
overdraft facility and capital lease obligations.
The following is the supplemental combining condensed balance sheet as of
January 1, 2000 and the supplemental combining condensed statement of
operations and cash flows for the thirteen weeks ended January 1, 2000 and the
thirteen weeks ended January 2, 1999. The only intercompany eliminations are
the normal intercompany sales, borrowings and investments in wholly-owned
subsidiaries. Separate complete financial statements of the guarantor
subsidiaries are not presented because management has determined that they are
not material to investors.

============== ===============
Thirteen weeks ended January 1, 2000 compared to the thirteen weeks ended
January 2, 1999
Net Sales. Net sales increased 8.0% to $101.7 million for the first
quarter of fiscal 2000 from $94.2 million in the comparable prior year quarter.
This increase was primarily due to an increase in units sold offset, in part, by
a slight reduction in the average selling price per unit.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased to $29.6 million, or 29.1% of net
sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2000, from $27.3 million, or 29.0% of net
sales, for the comparable prior-year quarter. The dollar increase was primarily
due to the increase in sales volume.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased to $20.0 million, or 19.7% of net sales, for
the first quarter of fiscal 2000, from $18.9 million, or 20.1% of net sales, for
the comparable prior year quarter. The improvement in operating expenses as a
percent of sales is due primarily to cost cutting measures offset, in part, by
an increase in advertising expenditures and the Company expects this trend to
continue during the remainder of fiscal 2000.
Severance Cost Charge. In the first quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company
recorded a pre-tax charge of $1.0 million for severance payments to the former
CEO of Farah/Savane who resigned as an officer and director of the Company
effective December 30, 1999.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased to $4.3 million for the
first quarter of fiscal 2000, from $4.6 million for the comparable prior year
quarter. The decrease was due to lower average outstanding borrowings under the
Company's credit facility. The Company's need to borrow under the credit
facility decreased because of better working capital management including a
$12.7 million or 15% reduction in inventory over the same time last year.
Income Taxes. The Company's effective income tax rate for the first
quarter of fiscal 2000 was 40.1% compared to 37.4% in the comparable prior year
quarter. These rates are based on the Company's expected effective annual tax
rate and were lower last year due to the anticipated annual pretax income at the
time and the relative impact of non-deductible goodwill amortization expense.
Net Income. As a result of the above factors, net income was $2.3
million for the first quarter of fiscal 2000, which is comparable to net income
of $2.3 million in the prior-year quarter.
<PAGE>
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's senior credit facility (the "Facility") provides for borrowings of
up to $110 million, subject to certain borrowing base limitations. Borrowings
under the Facility bear variable rates of interest (9.6% at January 1, 2000) and
are secured by substantially all of the Company's domestic assets. The Facility
matures in June 2003. As of January 1, 2000, excluding the impact of outstanding
letters of credit, an additional $52.0 was available for borrowings under the
Facility.
During the thirteen weeks ended January 1, 2000, the Company generated $13.2
million of cash from its operations. This was primarily the result of net income
of $2.3 (which included non cash expenses of $2.3 million), a $5.2 million
reduction in accounts receivable, a $1.1 million reduction in inventory, a $7.0
million reduction in prepaid expenses and other assets, offset in part, by a
$4.8 million reduction in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Capital expenditures totaled $2.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2000
and are expected to approximate $12.0 million for the entire fiscal year. The
expenditures expected for the remainder of the fiscal year primarily relate to
the upgrade or replacement of the Company's existing computer systems and
equipment.
The Company believes that its existing working capital, the Facility, and
internally generated funds are adequate for its working capital needs for the
remainder of the fiscal year.
Seasonality
Historically, the Company's business has been seasonal, with slightly higher
sales and income in the second and fourth fiscal quarters, just prior to and
during the two peak retail selling seasons for spring and fall merchandise. In
addition, certain of the Company's products, such as shorts and corduroy pants,
tend to be seasonal in nature. In the event such products represent a greater
percentage of the Company's sales in the future, the seasonality of the
Company's sales may be increased.
Factors Affecting the Company's Business and Prospects
This report contains forward-looking statements subject to the safe harbor
created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Management
cautions that these statements represent projections and estimates of future
performance and involve certain risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual
results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking
statements as a result of certain factors including, without limitation, a
continuation of the trend toward luxury fabrics which has supported the
Company's increase in selling prices; the continued commitment to the Company's
products by its major customers; the financial strength of the Company's major
customers; the ability of the Company to continue to use certain licensed
trademarks and tradenames, including John Henry(R), Bill Blass(R), and Van
Heusen(R); general economic conditions, including the price and availability of
raw materials and global manufacturing costs and restrictions; continued
improvements in operating efficiencies and cost savings such that the Company's
operating income margins continue to improve; and other risk factors listed from
time to time in the Company's SEC reports and announcements. In addition, the
estimated financial results for any period do not necessarily indicate the
results that many be expected for any future period.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Company's market risk is limited to fluctuations in interest rates as it
pertains to the Company's borrowings under the Facility and the Construction
Loan. There has been no significant change in this market risk since the
previous fiscal year end of October 2, 1999.
