1.    It is the opinion of management that all adjustments necessary for a
      fair presentation of results for the interim periods have been reflected
      in the statements presented.  Such adjustments were normal and recurring
      in nature.

      in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies contained in the
      Company's 1996 Annual Report to Shareowners.  For additional information
      regarding the Company's financial condition, refer to the footnotes
      accompanying the annual financial statements.  Details in those notes have
      not changed significantly except as a result of normal transactions in the
      interim.

5.    A credit facility agreement dated May 31, 1996, in the amount of $300,000
      expires October 30, 1999.  Under the agreement, up to $200,000 can be
      utilized for short-term loans and up to $200,000 can be utilized for
      letters of credit.  Each borrowing under the agreement bears interest at
      one of several specified rates dependent upon several factors including
      the Company's leverage ratio, senior debt rating and the applicable
      Eurodollar margin.  Facility fees can range from .1% to .25% of the
      committed amount. At July 31, 1996, outstanding short-term loans and
      letters of credit under the agreement were $40,000 and $84,000,
      respectively.  Covenants are more flexible than those currently existing
      for Kellwood's notes due insurance companies.

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

OPERATING RESULTS
- -----------------

Kellwood's sales declined 4% for the quarter compared to last year.  This
decline in volume was anticipated as Kellwood has been and will continue to
realign its assets and internal capabilities with the requirements of its
retail customers and the ultimate consumer.

Operating earnings (defined as net sales less cost of products sold and
selling, general and administrative expenses) decreased $0.5 million or 3%
for the quarter as compared to the same period last year.  The drop in
operating earnings was largely due to the decline in volume.  Margins were
also off from last year.  However, the decline in margins was offset by $1.9
million in net proceeds from the sale of certain excess quota rights.

The decrease in interest expense correlates with the decline in average
outstanding debt.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------

The current ratio remained relatively constant at 1.8 to 1 at July 31, 1996
and April 30, 1996 as compared to 1.7 to 1 at July 31, 1995 but the mix has
changed.  Accounts receivable have declined in response to the lower sales
volume and improved collection results.  Inventory levels have increased
because of a shift to more offshore sourcing which results in having to carry
more goods in transit.

The cash used for investing activities was higher last year because in May,
1995 approximately $5 million was used to purchase an office and warehouse
facility for one of Kellwood's existing business units.

Total debt represents 47% of capitalization at July 31, 1996 as compared to
46% at April 30, 1996 and 52% at July 31, 1995. Notes payable have declined
from last year as the Company has utilized some of its cash provided by
operating activities to pay down its short-term debt.  Kellwood maintains a
$300 million credit facility agreement of which up to $200 million can be
utilized for short-term loans and up to $200 million can be utilized for
letters of credit. At July 31, 1996, $176 million was available for future
use.

The combined operating, cash and equity position of the Company should
continue to provide the capital flexibility necessary to fund future
opportunities as well as to meet existing obligations.

OUTLOOK
- -------

The retail apparel climate remains sluggish with continued price deflation
and margin pressure throughout the entire supply chain.  Kellwood has
responded by taking a number of steps to improve its competitive position
during a soft retail environment.  These steps include reducing overhead,
more effective sourcing and a better product mix.  In addition, the Company
has been working on a number of programs and initiatives which should begin
to bear fruit during the later half of the fiscal year.
