            Competitive and promotional pressures from other manufacturers 
         of wrinkle resistant product had a negative impact on first 
         quarter 1995 branded sales.  First quarter 1994 sales of Savane 
         products were higher due to initial stocking of base products by a 
         large number of customers, compared to first quarter 1995 
         which consisted mainly of replenishment of existing inventories.  
         Sales were also adversely affected by unfilled orders which 
         resulted from certain manufacturing inefficiencies associated with 
         new private label programs.  The overall average unit selling 
         price decreased as a result of a higher proportion of private 
         label sales which carry a lower selling price compared to the 
         Company's branded product and were also negatively impacted by 
         higher levels of promotional sales in 1995 than in 1994.
         
            Farah International sales were $9,320,000 in the first quarter 
         of 1995 compared to $5,655,000 in the first quarter of 1994.  Unit 
         volume was up 51% while the average selling price increased 9%.  
         Sales at Farah U.K. were up 64% due to the introduction of new 
         products, increased promotional sales and higher private label 
         sales.  Sales at Farah Australia and New Zealand combined were up 
         75% in the first quarter of 1995 compared to the same period in 
         1994.  This increase resulted mainly from an increase in sales of 
         Savane and Private Label products which were only in the start-up 
         phase in the first quarter of 1994.  Also favorably impacting U.S. 
         Dollar sales was the effect of the weakening U.S. Dollar compared 
         to the British Pound Sterling and the Australian Dollar.  The 
         average exchange rate of the British Pound Sterling was 
         approximately 5% higher in the first quarter of 1995 compared to 
         the same period of 1994 and the average exchange rate of the 
         Australian Dollar was approximately 13% higher for the same

         period.  The higher exchange rate resulted in higher sales when 
         translated into U.S. Dollars.
         
            Value Slacks sales were $4,295,000 in the first quarter of 1995 
         compared to $4,305,000 in the first quarter of 1994.  Unit sales 
         increased by 4% while the average selling price per unit decreased 
         by 4%.  Sales in Puerto Rico decreased by 49%, while sales in the 
         U.S. increased by 33%.  The Company has continued to close stores 
         in Puerto Rico while opening new stores in the United States.  In 
         the first quarter of 1995 the Company had 29 U.S. stores and 5 
         Puerto Rican stores in operation compared to 21 U.S. stores and 11 
         Puerto Rican stores in the first quarter of 1994.

            Consolidated gross profit decreased by $2,573,000 (16.7%) in 
         the first quarter of 1995 compared to the first quarter of 1994.  
         As a percent of sales, gross profit was lower at 25.6% in 1995 
         compared to 30.0% in the first quarter of 1994.
         
            At Farah U.S.A. gross profit as a percent of sales was 20% in 
         the first quarter of 1995 compared to 27% in the same period of 
         1994.  As a result of the overall sales decrease at Farah U.S.A., 
         production levels also decreased in the first quarter which 
         resulted in higher fixed costs per unit produced.  The shift in 
         sales mix to more private label products which carry a lower 
         margin combined with higher promotional sales activities 
         negatively impacted margins in the first quarter.  Margins were 
         also negatively affected by lower efficiencies and start-up costs 
         on new private label production.  Partially offsetting these 
         increased costs was the favorable effect of the devaluation of the 
         Mexican Peso.  
         
            At Farah International gross profit as a percent of sales was 
         down from 38% in the first quarter of 1994 to 35% in the first 
         quarter of 1995.  Higher promotional sales in Farah U.K., combined 
         with manufacturing inefficiencies in the Irish factories, reduced 
         margins.  At Value Slacks gross profit as a percent of sales 
         increased from 45% in the first quarter of 1994 to 53% in the 
         first quarter of 1995.  The shift in sales to U.S. stores from 
         Puerto Rican stores had a favorable impact on margins, as overall 
         margins earned are higher at U.S. locations.  Margins were also up
         as a result of increased sales of certain higher margin casual and
         Savane product.
         
            Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") as a 
         percent of sales increased from 25.1% in the first quarter of 1994 
         to 28.9% in the first quarter of 1995.  At Farah U.S.A. SG&A 
         increased from 22% to 26%.  This increase was mainly attributable 
         to higher computer systems implementation costs, combined with the 
         effect of fixed costs that did not decrease in relation to the 
         lower sales levels. Conversely, at Farah International, SG&A as a 
         percent of sales decreased from 36% in the first quarter of 1994 
         to 31% in the same period of 1995 due to fixed costs that did not 
         increase in relation to the higher sales levels.  At Value Slacks 
         SG&A increased from 44% in the first quarter of 1994 to 49% in the 
         first quarter of 1995.  The increased percentage was related to 
         higher employee benefit expenses as well as costs related to the 
         closing of two stores in Puerto Rico.
         
            Other expense was $124,000 lower in the first 
         quarter of 1995 compared to the first quarter of 1994.  Net 
         interest expense was comparable in both periods; however, it was 
         partially offset in the first quarter of 1995 by higher currency 
         gains related to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar compared to 
         the Mexican Peso.

            An income tax benefit was recorded in the first quarter of 1995 
         compared to an expense in the first quarter of 1994.  In 1994 the 
         effective tax rate was lower than statutory rates due to the 
         effect of recognition of net operating loss carryforwards in 1994.  
         
         Financial Condition
         
            The Company's primary Credit Agreement provides up to 
         $40,000,000 of credit through November 3, 1995.  Farah U.S.A., 
         Value Slacks and Farah U.K. are parties to the Credit Agreement.  
         Availability under the Agreement is limited by formulas derived 
         from accounts receivable, inventory and fixed assets. As of 
         February 3, 1995, usage under the agreement was $28,917,000 and 
         available credit was $11,083,000.

              In the first quarter of 1995, the Company entered into a 
         $10,000,000 lease line of credit which will be used to finance the 
         purchase of laundry, finishing, sewing and cutting equipment in 
         Mexico, Costa Rica and the United States.  Usage under this 
         line totaled $4,664,000 as of February 3, 1995. The Company was in 
         compliance with all financial covenants under this agreement as of 
         February 3, 1995. 

              In addition, the Company's primary credit facilities contain 
         certain financial covenants including, in one instance a quartely
         profitability covenant.  Compliance with the profitability covenant 
         has been waived for the fiscal quarter ended February 3, 1995.  The
         Company intends to seek amendments to the credit facilities to
         establish new covenants which are consistent with managements
         current business plan.  In the event the credit facilities are not
         amended, management believes it can obtain waivers from its lenders
         if it fails to comply with the covenants in the future.  However, 
         there can be no assurance such waivers will be obtained.
                  
            Net cash used in operations in the first quarter of 1995 was 
         approximately $10 million as a result of higher inventory levels 
         and a decrease in trade payables and accrued expenses.  The higher 
         inventories were due to lower than expected sales and the 
         reduction in trade payables and accrued expenses was consistent 
         with the normal seasonality of the Company's business.  These uses 
         of funds were financed through accounts receivable collections and 
         increases in short term borrowings.  The Company is currently 
         attempting to reduce inventory levels to match anticipated sales 
         levels.  To the extent inventory levels cannot be reduced, it may 
         be necessary to request additional credit from the Company's 
         lender.  There can be no assurance that additional credit will be 
         extended.
         
            Capital expenditures through February 3, 1995 approximated 
         $4,485,000.  Expenditures were mainly for manufacturing equipment 
         and improvements to our new laundry and cutting facilities.  As of 
         February 3, 1995 the Company had commitments for future capital 
         expenditures of approximately $2,270,000.

         STATEMENT REGARDING COMPUTATION OF NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
         
         
         Net income per share is based on weighted average shares of common 
         stock and common stock equivalents outstanding.  Stock options are 
         included as common stock equivalents under the treasury stock 
         method, where dilutive. Additional dilution from the Company's 
         convertible subordinated debentures, which are not common stock 
         equivalents, is not material.  Net loss per share is based only on 
         weighted average shares of common stock outstanding.
