              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       The attached  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  have been
         prepared  pursuant to the rules and  regulations  of the Securities and
         Exchange  Commission.  As a result,  certain  information  and footnote
         disclosures  normally  included  in  financial  statements  prepared in
         accordance  with generally  accepted  accounting  principles  have been
         condensed or omitted.  The Company  believes that the disclosures  made
         are adequate to make the information  presented not  misleading.  These
         condensed   consolidated   financial   statements  should  be  read  in
         conjunction  with the  consolidated  financial  statements  and related
         notes included in the Company's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

2.       The foregoing  financial  information  reflects all adjustments  (which
         consist only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion
         of  management,  necessary to present a fair statement of the financial
         position and the results of  operations  and cash flows for the interim
         periods.

3.       On June 7, 1996, the Company sold its Piedras Negras, Mexico sewing and
         finishing  facility  to  Galey & Lord,  Inc.  for a  purchase  price of
         approximately  $22,250,000  in cash.  A  non-recurring  pre-tax gain of
         $9,300,000 was recognized in the third quarter of 1996.

         Proceeds  from the sale were used to retire a long-term  capital  lease
         obligation   of   approximately   $7,224,000   plus   other   long-term
         obligations.  The balance of the proceeds of approximately  $13,250,000
         was applied to the Company's credit line.

         In  conjunction  with this sale,  the Company  entered into a long-term
         supply  agreement  whereby Galey & Lord,  Inc. will continue to produce
         products for Farah at the Piedras Negras  facility.  In addition to the
         long-term  supply  agreement,  the  Company  expects to invest in joint
         ventures or other similar  arrangements  to meet its future  production
         requirements.

         Consolidated sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1996 were $4,892,000
(8.0%)  lower  than in the third  quarter  of fiscal  1995.  For the first  nine
months,  sales  increased by  $3,945,000  (2.4%)  compared to the same period of
1995.  Sales  in the  third  quarter  of 1995  benefited  by  delayed  shipments
scheduled for the second quarter of  approximately  $4,125,000.  Excluding these
shipments, the decrease in third quarter sales was 1.2%.

         Farah  U.S.A.   sales  for  the  third  quarter  of  fiscal  1996  were
$41,173,000  compared  to  $46,281,000  in the third  quarter of 1995,  an 11.0%
decline.  (Excluding the effect of the delayed shipments  previously  discussed,
Farah U.S.A. sales were down  approximately  2.3%.) Unit sales also decreased by
approximately  the  same  percentage,   while  the  average  selling  price  was
comparable in both periods. In the first nine months of 1996, Farah U.S.A. sales
were  $126,306,000  compared to  $123,702,000  in the same period of 1995.  Unit
sales increased 4.1% while the average selling price declined 1.9%.

         Third  quarter 1996 sales of Savane were  comparable to the same period
of 1995 after giving effect to the delayed shipments last year. However,  Savane
continues  to maintain  strong  market share with year to date sales 12.7% above
last  year's  level.  The  Company  introduced  its new  Deep Dye  products  and
Womenswear  late in the third  quarter  and  early  information  indicates  good
consumer  acceptance.  Initial shipments of John Henry product to Sears began in
the third quarter of 1996, resulting in an increase in this category,  partially
offset by decreases  in sales of Farah  product as Sears phased out of the Farah
label  program.  In late August,  the Company  made  initial  shipments of Farah
branded  product to  Wal-Mart.  Sales of  private  label  product  showed a 2.4%
increase  in the  third  quarter,  excluding  the  effect  of the  1995  delayed
shipments previously  discussed,  and a 24.6% increase for the first nine months
of 1996 compared to 1995.

         Sales at Farah  International  were $10,149,000 in the third quarter of
1996 compared to $9,905,000  in the third quarter of 1995, a 2.5%  increase.  In
the first nine months of fiscal 1996,  sales were also up 2.5%,  increasing from
$31,722,000 in 1995 to  $32,519,000 in the same period of 1996.  Unit volume and
the average  selling price both increased 1.2% during the quarter.  For the nine
month  period,  units sales  increased  2.7%,  while the average  selling  price
remained  comparable.  Combined  sales at Farah  Australia and Farah New Zealand
increased by 30.3% in the third  quarter of 1996  compared to 1995,  and were up
13.7 % in the nine month period. This increase in sales was mainly attributed to
higher sales of Savane no wrinkle product and increased  private label business.
At Farah  U.K.  sales were down 7.1% in the  quarter  and 1.2% in the first nine
months.  Farah U.K. sales have been adversely affected by soft retail conditions
as well as the  strengthening  of the U.S.  dollar compared to the British Pound
Sterling.

         Value  Slacks  sales in the third  quarter of 1996 were  comparable  to
sales in the third quarter of 1995 at $4,651,000 and $4,679,000 respectively. In
the first nine months of 1996,  sales  increased by 4.5%,  from  $12,172,000  to
$12,716,000.  As of the end of the third  quarter,  the Company was operating 40
U.S.  stores  compared to 32 U.S.  stores and 5 Puerto  Rican stores at the same
time in 1995.  Same store sales were 11.5%  lower in the third  quarter and 6.9%
lower in the nine month period  compared to the same periods in 1995.  Increased
competition in the retail outlet market has resulted in softer sales. Offsetting
the decrease in same store sales,  were  increased  revenues  from new stores as
well as revenues  received from three  "satellite sale" programs held during the
second and third quarters of 1996.

         As a percent of sales,  gross profit was 26.0% in the third  quarter of
1996 compared to 22.9% in the third quarter of 1995.  For the nine month period,
gross  profit as a percent of sales was 25.9% in 1996  compared  to 23.3% in the
same period of 1995.

         Farah U.S.A.  gross profit as a percent of sales was 22.4% in the third
quarter of 1996  compared  to 17.8% in the third  quarter  of 1995.  In the nine
month period,  gross profit  increased from 17.9% in 1995 to 22.1% in 1996. Cost
reduction  efforts,  combined with lower dollar costs in Mexico,  as a result of
the peso devaluation, favorably impacted unit production costs. In addition, the
third  quarter  and  first  nine  months  of 1995  were  adversely  affected  by
transitional problems related to the start up of new production facilities.

         At  Farah  International,  gross  profit  as a  percent  of  sales  was
comparable  in both the third  quarter  and first nine  months of 1996 and 1995,
averaging approximately 34.0%.

         At Value  Slacks,  gross  profit as a percent of sales  decreased  from
50.1% in the third  quarter of 1995 to 41.3% in the third  quarter of 1995.  For
the nine month  period,  gross  profit  decreased  from  51.3% to 45.4%.  Higher
promotional  sales,  combined with a lower mix of irregulars  and closeout goods
were the  principal  factors  contributing  to the  lower  margins  in 1996.  In
addition,  during the 1996 second and third  quarter,  margins  were  negatively
impacted by below normal  sales  prices of product  sold through the  "satellite
sale" programs.

         Selling,  general and administrative  expenses ("SG&A") as a percent of
sales decreased from 29.8% in the third quarter and first nine months of 1995 to
25.4% in the third  quarter and first nine months of 1996.  The decrease in SG&A
resulted mainly from cost reduction  efforts at Farah U.S.A,  where  advertising
costs  were down  approximately  50%,  combined  with lower  professional  fees,
commission expenses and other operating costs.

         Other income in 1996 included a gain of approximately $9,300,000 on the
sale of the Company's  Piedras Negras,  Mexico facility.  Proceeds from the sale
were used to reduce the  Company's  short  term and long term  debt,  which also
resulted  in a 42%  decrease in  interest  expense in the third  quarter of 1996
compared to the same period in 1995. For the nine month period, interest expense
was slightly  higher in 1996 due to higher average  borrowings in the first half
of the year. Also included in the nine month period was a gain of  approximately
$590,000  recognized by Farah  International in the second quarter of 1996, as a
result of the sale of one of the Company's  manufacturing  facilities located in
Galway, Ireland.

         Income tax  expense was  recorded  in the third  quarter and first nine
months  of  1996,  principally  as a result  of the gain on the sale of  Piedras
Negras, Mexico facility.

Financial Condition

         The Company's  primary Credit  Agreement  provides up to $50,000,000 of
credit through July 1, 1998, for the Company's  United States and United Kingdom
operations for either  borrowings or letters of credit.  Availability  under the
Credit  Agreement is limited by formulas  derived from accounts  receivable  and
inventory.  As of August 4, 1996,  usage under the Agreement was $20,152,000 and
the excess credit line  available  was  $28,757,000.  As of August 4, 1996,  the
Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.

         Net  cash  from  operations  in the  first  nine  months  of  1996  was
$15,403,000,  primarily  as a result of a decrease in  inventories  and accounts
receivable.  Increased  promotional sales and reduced production levels resulted
in bringing  inventory  levels more in line with current demand.  Cash flow from
operations  together with  proceeds  from the sale of the Piedras  Negras Mexico
facility of  approximately  $22,250,000  were used to reduce both short term and
long term borrowings.

         Capital  expenditures  through August 4, 1996 approximated  $2,691,000.
Expenditures were mainly for manufacturing equipment and information systems. As
of August 4, 1996, the Company had commitments  for future capital  expenditures
of approximately $1,040,000. The Company expects to incur additional commitments
for capital expenditures of approximately  $2,000,000 over the next three months
to add  additional  laundry and finishing  facilities to meet future  production
requirements.  These capital expenditures will be financed through the Company's
existing Credit Agreement and/or alternative financing arrangements.

         STATEMENT REGARDING COMPUTATION OF NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE


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 on  weighted
average shares of common stock outstanding.
