     Item 1.   Business.

         (a)   General development of business.

               (a)(1)  The registrant was incorporated on December 4, 1957.
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995, there were no material changes
or developments in the business done by the registrant or its subsidiaries or in
the manner in which it conducted its business during the prior five fiscal
years.
               (a)(2)  Not applicable.

         (b)   Financial information about industry segments.

               The registrant produces only apparel and, accordingly,
information relative to industry segments is not applicable.

         (c)   Narrative description of business.

               (c)(i)  The registrant is engaged in the design, manufacture, and
sale of apparel for men, women, and children including boys, girls, toddlers,
and infants.  The percentage of registrant's net sales in each of the foregoing
categories in the last three fiscal years is as follows:

</TABLE>

The registrant produces apparel primarily sold to regional mass merchandisers,
major national chain stores, department stores, and specialty stores.  Sales are
made primarily by the registrant's salaried sales staff.

               (c)(ii)  Not applicable.

               (c)(iii)  Raw materials essential to the registrant are readily
available from various alternate sources of supply.

               (c)(iv)  The registrant distributes: children's apparel under
various of its own trademarks including, principally, GARAN, GARANIMALS, and
ROB ROY, men's apparel under various of its own trademarks including,
principally, GARAN, and women's apparel under various of its own trademarks
including, principally, GARAN.  Sales of branded apparel under the registrant's
own trademarks accounted for approximately 6%, 9%, and 7% of the registrant's
net sales in fiscal 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.

                                        4

               Since 1975, registrant has been a non-exclusive licensee of
professional sports leagues and teams for T-shirts, knit shirts, sweatshirts,
and sweaters for boys and men, and since 1990, registrant has been a
non-exclusive licensee of various colleges and universities for sweatshirts
and knit shirts.  Sales of such apparel by registrant accounted for
approximately 12%, 19%, and 26% of the registrant's net sales in fiscal 1995,
1994, and 1993, respectively.  Since 1986, the registrant has been the
exclusive licensee of the trademark BOBBIE BROOKS for girls' and women's
apparel, and sales of apparel by registrant bearing the BOBBIE BROOKS
trademark accounted for approximately 7%, 3%, and 6% of the registrant's net
sales in fiscal 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.  (The registrant also
sublicenses the BOBBIE BROOKS trademark to non-affiliates.)  Since fiscal
1991, registrant has been a non-exclusive licensee of The Walt Disney Company
for various trademarks and for characters, scenes, and logos from various
animated television series and motion pictures for children's apparel, and
sales of apparel bearing such trademarks accounted for approximately 8%, 11%,
and 9% of registrant's net sales for fiscal 1995, 1994, and 1993,
respectively.  In 1995, the registrant became the exclusive licensee of the
trademark EVERLAST for men's, boys', and girls' activewear, and of the
trademark HANG TEN for boys' sportswear, although the registrant's sales of
articles bearing either such trademark were insignificant in fiscal 1995.
Total sales of apparel bearing licensed trademarks and logos, some of which
apparel also bears the registrant's trademarks LONG GONE, TEAM
RATED, GLORY DAYS, and G.T.S., accounted for approximately 27%, 35%, and 41%
of the registrant's

                                        5

<PAGE>

net sales in fiscal 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.  The terms of the
foregoing license agreements range from 1 to 3 years, royalty rates range from
2% to 12% of net sales, each license agreement has a minimum royalty commitment,
and certain license agreements impose an advertising commitment.  Shortfalls
between earned royalties and minimum royalties have not been material.  Except
for certain license agreements with The Walt Disney Company for characters,
scenes, and logos relating to motion pictures no longer in general release, the
registrant anticipates that it will be able to renew each license agreement
when it expires upon substantially the same terms.

               (c)(v)  The registrant operates primarily on the basis of two
seasons - Spring/Summer and Fall/Holiday.  Shipments for the Spring/Summer
season are generally made from December through July and for the Fall/Holiday
season from June through December.  Registrant has been able to keep production
levels relatively constant throughout the year.  However, because of long
production runs and short shipping periods, the registrant's inventory levels
fluctuate during the year.

               (c)(vi)  Not applicable.

               (c)(vii)  Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. accounted for 63%, 62%, and 54%
of the registrant's net sales during fiscal 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.
During the same periods, J.C. Penney Company, Inc. accounted for 20%, 18%, and
16% of the registrant's net sales.  The registrant has had a business
relationship with Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. for more than the past 18


                                        6

<PAGE>

years and with J.C. Penney Company, Inc. for more than the past 30 years.  The
registrant knows of no circumstance that would have a material adverse effect on
its future business relationships with Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. or J.C. Penney
Company, Inc.  The balance of the registrant's sales are made to approximately
3,500 accounts, none of which is responsible for more than 10% of the
registrant's net sales.

               (c)(viii)  The registrant has been consistently able to secure
substantial orders from its customers to insure that production levels are kept
relatively constant throughout the year.  As of December 1, 1995, firm backlog
orders amounted to $37,000,000, and firm backlog orders as of December 1, 1994,
amounted to $34,000,000.  Registrant expects that all of its backlog orders at
December 1, 1995, will be filled during the 1996 fiscal year.  Registrant's firm
backlog orders at any given time represent orders taken throughout the year and
vary throughout the year.  The registrant believes that year to year variations
are immaterial to an understanding of its business.

               (c)(ix)  Not applicable.

               (c)(x)  The men's, women's, and children's apparel business in
the United States is highly competitive primarily in price, style, and delivery
and consists of many domestic and foreign manufacturers, importers, and
distributors.  The registrant does not compete solely on a price basis with low
cost foreign sources; the registrant competes by relying on style, programs, and
delivery as well as price.  No single enterprise


                                        7

<PAGE>

sells more than a small portion of the total apparel sold in the United States,
and there are no reliable figures available from which the registrant's relative
position in the United States apparel industry can be determined or from which
the effect of foreign competition can be assessed.

               (c)(xi)  No material expenditures are made by the registrant for
research activities relating to the development of new services or products or
the improvement of existing services or products.

               (c)(xii)  The registrant's compliance with Federal, state, and
local environmental laws and regulations had no material effect upon its capital
expenditures, earnings, or competitive position during the fiscal year ended
September 30, 1995.  The registrant does not anticipate any material capital
expenditures for environmental control in either its present or succeeding
fiscal years.

               (c)(xiii)  The registrant employed approximately 2,600 persons at
September 30, 1995.

         (d)   Financial information about foreign and domestic operations and
export sales.

               The registrant has operated a manufacturing facility in Costa
Rica since 1984, and in fiscal 1995, began operating two manufacturing
facilities in El Salvador, but it was not otherwise engaged in business within
any foreign country during the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995.


                                        8

<PAGE>

               During fiscal 1995, 1994, and 1993, export sales by registrant
amounted to less than 1% of total sales and are not considered to be significant
to an understanding of registrant's business.

          (1)  The registrant or a wholly-owned subsidiary of the registrant has
the option to purchase the facilities and/or to renew each of the current leases
for terms which vary between 2 and 69 years.

          (2)  One continuous building consisting of a 63,000 square foot
section leased to 1999, a 22,500 square foot section leased to 2002, and a
19,800 square foot section leased to 2004.

          (3)  One continuous building consisting of a 15,000 square foot

          (4)  One continuous building consisting of a 72,000 square foot
section leased to 1999 and a 15,900 square foot section leased to 2005, which
was expanded by a 43,000 square foot section owned by a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the registrant and financed with the proceeds of Industrial Revenue Bonds
issued in September, 1990.  The entire building is located on land owned by a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the registrant.

          (5)  The registrant determined that it no longer required the
manufacturing capacity of its plant in Lambert, Mississippi, and that facility
was closed in 1995.  The carrying value of the Lambert facility has been written
down to its net realizable value.

          (6)  One continuous building consisting of a 78,000 square foot
section leased to 2000 and a 29,920 square foot section leased to 2004.

          The registrant believes that its manufacturing facilities are suitable
and adequate for its foreseeable needs, and except as otherwise noted, each was
fully utilized and operated at virtually 100% of capacity during fiscal 1995.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NET SALES

Net  sales in 1995  were $141,330,000, a  decrease of $31,672,000  from 1994
net sales of  $173,002,000. The  sales decreases  occurred primarily  in the
Sports Licensing divisions due to ongoing competitive conditions in the
marketplace, in the Disney division as a result of not participating in a
film property in 1995, and  in the Women's  Sweaters division, which ceased
operations early in fiscal 1995.

Net sales in  1994 were $173,002,000,  a decrease of  $16,579,000 from 1993  net
sales  of $189,581,000. The 1994 sales  decrease of 9% resulted from competitive
conditions in the marketplace which caused  a decline in total units shipped  of
approximately  4% and a decline in the  average unit selling price in our Sports
Licensing division.

GROSS MARGIN

Gross margin for  1995 was  $29,876,000, or  21% of  net sales,  as compared  to
$41,315,000  or 24% of net sales, in  1994. Gross margin was $55,369,000, or 29%
of net sales, in 1993. The declines in gross margin from year to year  primarily
resulted  from  (A)  reduced volume  in  our Sports  Licensing  divisions, which
historically maintain higher gross margins  than our other divisions (the  gross
margin  for the Sports  Licensing divisions is higher  than for other divisions,
but net sales  of these  divisions are  subject to  a royalty  expense which  is
included  in selling and  administrative expenses), which  affected product mix,
and (B) customer orders taken at lower margins to maintain market share.

SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES; INTEREST INCOME

Selling and administrative  expenses in  1995 were  $23,270,000, or  16% of  net
sales,  as compared to  $27,320,000, or 16%  of net sales,  in 1994. Selling and
administrative expenses were  $29,319,000, or  16% of  net sales,  in 1993.  The
dollar  amount decreases primarily resulted  from reduced royalty and commission
expense associated with the reduced sales volume in our Sports Licensing
divisions.

Interest income in 1995 was $2,534,000, which increased from interest income  of
$1,491,000  in 1994. Interest  income was $1,592,000 in  1993. The increase from
1994 to 1995 was the  result of more favorable  rates of returns throughout  the
year and higher levels of investments.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The  Company's financial position remained strong  through 1995. At September
30, 1995 working capital was $68,448,000,  a decrease of $11,929,000 from
September 30, 1994 working capital of $80,377,000. As is noted in footnote
1h, the Company adopted  Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards No.
115 (SFAS 115), which requires that investments held to  maturity be
classified based on  contractual maturities. As such, at September 30, 1995,
$12,015,000 of investments have been classified  as long  term and
transferred  from working  capital. (In accordance with SFAS  115, prior
years  financial statements  have  not been  restated  to reflect the change
in accounting method.)

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CON'T)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The  Company's primary source of cash during the three years ended September 30,
1995 has  been its  operating  activities. In  1995,  1994 and  1993,  operating
activities provided $6,727,000, $17,113,000, and $12,377,000, respectively.

The  primary uses of cash during the three year period ended September 30, 1995,
have been additions to property, plant and equipment, payment of dividends,  and
repayment of capitalized lease obligations.

In fiscal 1995 the Company continued its year end special dividend payment which
it initiated in fiscal 1988.

At September 30, 1995, shareholders' equity was $94,315,000 or $18.60 per share,
up  from $93,896,000, or $18.52  per share, at September  30, 1994. At September
30, 1993 shareholders' equity was $93,669,000, or $18.48 per share.

Management believes that the Company  has sufficient working capital to  finance
its  operations  and  projected  growth. There  were  no  short  term borrowings
outstanding  during  fiscal  1995,  1994  and  1993,  and  management  does  not
anticipate  the need for any such borrowings.  If necessary, the Company has the
ability to obtain funds from a number  of sources to meet its seasonal and  long
term requirements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 1--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The  consolidated financial statements  include the accounts  of the Company and
its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. All inter-company accounts  and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

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

b. REVENUE RECOGNITION

Sales are recognized upon shipment of merchandise. The Company does not  provide
for  allowances or return of goods except for cause. When an allowance or return
occurs, it is accounted for  as a reduction of  sales. Sales allowances are  not
significant to the operations of the Company.

c. INVENTORIES

Inventories  are stated  at the lower  of cost (principally  standard cost which
approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis) or market.

d. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation and amortization
for financial accounting purposes are provided by using the straight line method
over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Leases of manufacturing facilities which are in substance financing arrangements
have been capitalized, with the corresponding liability included in  capitalized
lease obligations.

e. INCOME TAXES

Deferred  income  taxes  are  provided  to  reflect  the  tax  effect  of timing
differences in reporting income and  deductions for tax and financial  statement
purposes.  During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1993 the Company adopted the
Statement of  Financial Accounting  Standards No.  109, "Accounting  for  Income
Taxes"  (SFAS 109). SFAS  109 provides for accounting  for deferred income taxes
using the liability method rather than the deferred method.

f. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share are calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the year. All share and per share amounts  give
effect to a two-for-one stock split on December 7, 1992.

g. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

For  purposes of the statements of cash  flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid investments purchased with an original  maturity of three months or  less
to be cash equivalents.

h. INVESTMENTS

Short-term  investments at  September 30, 1994  consist of  highly liquid direct
obligations of the United States Government  with a maturity of more than  three
months  when  purchased.  Such  investments  are  stated  at  cost  plus accrued
interest, which approximates market value.

Effective  December  31,  1994,  the  Company  adopted  Statement  of  Financial
Standards  No.  115,  "Accounting for  Certain  Investments in  Debt  and Equity
Securities" (SFAS 115), under which the Company's investments are designated  as
trading or held-to-maturity. Trading securities are reported at fair value, with
changes  in fair value included in earnings. When the Company has the intent and
ability  to   hold  the   securities  to   maturity  they   are  classified   as
held-to-maturity  securities and reported at  amortized cost. In accordance with
SFAS 115, prior years'  financial statements have not  been restated to  reflect
the  change in accounting method. There was  no cumulative effect as a result of
adopting SFAS 115 and the  impact on net earnings  for the year ended  September
30, 1995 was not material.

NOTE 2--INVESTMENTS

Investments  in the  trading category amounted  to $19,427,000  at September 30,
1995 and consisted of  U.S. Treasury Bills maturing  from November 1995  through
September  1996.  Gross  unrealized holding  gains  at September  30,  1995 were
approximately $83,000.


                                       19
<PAGE>

Investments  in  the  held-to-maturity  category  amounted  to  $13,012,000   at
September  30,  1995  and  consisted of  U.S.  Treasury  Notes  with contractual
maturities as follows:

</TABLE>

The estimated fair value  of investments approximates  the amortized cost,  and,
therefore, there are no unrealized gains or losses as at September 30, 1995.

</TABLE>

The  weighted average discount rate and  rate of increase in future compensation
levels used in determining the actuarial present value of the projected  benefit
obligation  for the Company's plans was 7.0% in  1995 and 7.5% in 1994 and 1993.
The expected long-term rate of return on assets used for the Company's plans was
7.5% in 1995 and 9.5% in 1994 and 1993.

The Board  of  Directors adopted  on  April  1, 1989  a  Supplemental  Executive
Retirement  Plan  for certain  executive employees  to restore  pension benefits
which have been  reduced by  legislative action. The  Company purchases  annuity
contracts   to   fund   its   obligation   for   the   four   participants  (all
officers-directors  of  the  Company)  under   such  plan  and  reimburses   the
participants  for the current tax recognition resulting from such purchases. The
respective costs are  being amortized  over the  remaining estimated  employment
lives  of the participants.  The 1995, 1994  and 1993 expense  for such plan was
$705,000, $736,000 and $847,000, respectively.

The Board  of Directors  adopted  on January  1,  1995, a  Supplemental  Benefit
Restoration Plan for certain employees not covered by the Supplemental Executive
Retirement  Plan  to  restore  pension  benefits  which  have  been  reduced  by
legislative action. The Company is currently funding its obligations to the five
participants, and the 1995 expense for such plan was $75,000.

NOTE 10--MAJOR CUSTOMERS

The Company operates within one industry  segment - the manufacture of  apparel.
Sales  to  one national  retail  chain accounted  for  approximately 63%  of the
Company's net sales in 1995, 62% in


                                       22
<PAGE>

1994 and 54% in 1993. Another national retail chain accounted for  approximately
20%,  18%  and  16%  of  the  Company's  net  sales  in  1995,  1994  and  1993,
respectively. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's net
sales in each of the three years ended 1995.

NOTE 11--SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

In April 1993, the Company's Board of Directors restructured the Rights Plan  it
had  adopted in 1988  by amending and restating  its rights agreement, redeeming
its outstanding preferred  stock rights,  and paying  a dividend  of new  common
stock  rights to shareholders of record on May 17, 1993. In the event any person
acquires 20 percent of the Company's common stock, each new right will give  the
holder  the option to purchase one share  of the Company's common stock for $90.
The new rights expire May 16, 2003, and may be redeemed by the Company for  $.01
per  right. As of September  30, 1995, 5,069,892 shares  of the Company's common
stock were reserved for issuance under the Shareholders Rights Plan.

NOTE 12--COMMON STOCK SPLIT

On November 9, 1992, the Board of Directors authorized a two-for-one stock split
of the Company's $1 par value common stock which was paid on December 7, 1992 to
shareholders of record on November 19,  1992. In addition, common stock  changed
to  no par  value. As  a result  of the  split, the  additional 2,534,446 shares
issued did not change the common  stock or additional paid-in capital  accounts.
All  references in the accompanying financial statements to the number of common
shares and per share amounts give effect to the stock split.

NOTE 13--EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

The Company maintains employment agreements  with four directors, three of  whom
are  also officers of  the Company. The employment  agreements contain change in
control provisions that would entitle each  of the four directors to receive  up
to  2.99 times his five year average  annual salary plus continuation of certain
benefits if there  is a  change in  control in the  Company (as  defined) and  a
termination  of  his employment.  The maximum  contingent liability  under these
agreements in such event is approximately $5,800,000. The employment  agreements
also  provide for severance  benefits, disability and death  benefits and, as to
one officer-director, consulting services under certain circumstances.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Board of Directors and Shareholders
Garan, Incorporated

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  of   Garan,
Incorporated  and its  subsidiaries as  at September 30,  1995 and  1994 and the
related consolidated statements of earnings, shareholders' equity and cash flows
for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended September 30, 1995. These
financial statements are  the responsibility  of the  Company's management.  Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion  on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted   auditing
standards.  Those standards 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. An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles used  and  significant estimates  made  by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the aforementioned  financial statements present fairly, in  all
material  respects, the  consolidated financial position  of Garan, Incorporated
and its subsidiaries  as at  September 30,  1995 and  1994, and  the results  of
consolidated operations, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for each
of  the three fiscal years in the  period ended September 30, 1995 in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.
