PART I -- FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1 - Financial Statements

Stockholders and Board of Directors

Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation as of July 30, 2000, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended July 30, 2000 and August 1, 1999. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, which will be performed for the full year with the objective of expressing an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, the consolidated balance sheet of Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation as of January 30, 2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein) and in our report dated March 7, 2000, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 30, 2000, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands, except share and per share data)

GENERAL

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not contain all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Reference should be made to the audited consolidated financial statements, including the footnotes thereto, included in the Company's Annual Report to Stockholders for the year ended January 30, 2000.

The preparation of interim financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from the estimates.

The results of operations for the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2000 and August 1, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year due, in part, to seasonal factors. The data contained in these financial statements are unaudited and are subject to year-end adjustments; however, in the opinion of management, all known adjustments (which consist only of normal recurring accruals) have been made to present fairly the consolidated operating results for the unaudited periods.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 1999 to present that information on a basis consistent with the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2000.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are summarized as follows:

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost for certain apparel inventories is determined using the last-in, first-out method (LIFO). Cost for footwear and other apparel inventories is determined using the first-in, first-out method (FIFO). Inventories would have been approximately $5,600 higher than reported at July 30, 2000 and January 30, 2000, if the FIFO method of inventory accounting had been used for all apparel.

-5-

The final determination of cost of sales and inventories under the LIFO method can only be made at the end of each fiscal year based on inventory cost and quantities on hand. Interim LIFO determinations are based on management's estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Such estimates are subject to revision at the end of each quarter. Since estimates of future inventory levels and costs are subject to external factors, interim financial results are subject to year-end LIFO inventory adjustments.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company computed its basic and diluted earnings per share by dividing net income or loss by:

ACQUISITION OF NET ASSETS ASSOCIATED WITH ARROW AND KENNETH COLE LICENSE AGREEMENTS

On July 24, 2000, the Company acquired the license to market dress shirts and sportswear under the Arrow brand and the license to market dress shirts under the Kenneth Cole brand. These transactions are being accounted for as an acquisition using the purchase method of accounting. In connection with these transactions, the Company acquired $56,765 of net assets (principally inventory) including $13,932 of goodwill. The goodwill is being amortized over 17 years, which is the expected life of the license agreements.

Pro forma financial information for the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2000 will be provided in the Company's report on Form 8-K to be amended by October 10, 2000.

SEGMENT DATA

The Company manages and analyzes its operating results by its two vertically integrated business segments: (i) Apparel and (ii) Footwear and Related Products. In identifying its reportable segments, the Company evaluated its operating divisions and product offerings. The Company aggregates the results of its apparel divisions into the Apparel segment. This segment derives revenues from marketing dresswear, sportswear and accessories, principally under the brand names Van Heusen, Izod, Geoffrey Beene, John Henry, Manhattan, DKNY, FUBU, Regis by the Van Heusen Company, Arrow and Kenneth Cole. The Company's footwear business has been identified as the Footwear and Related Products segment. This segment derives revenues from marketing casual footwear, apparel and accessories under the Bass brand name. Sales for both segments occur principally in the United States.

Corporate expenses for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 1999 include Year 2000 computer conversion costs of $2,710 and $4,160, respectively.

Thirteen Weeks Ended July 30, 2000 Compared With Thirteen Weeks Ended

Net sales of the Company's apparel segment in the second quarter were $229.5 million in 2000 compared with $212.7 million last year, a 7.9% increase. Included in the second quarter of 1999 were $25.2 million of sales related to the Gant and Izod Club businesses, which were disposed of in 1999. Excluding sales of Gant and Izod Club, apparel sales increased 22.5% over the prior year. This improvement was due to strong sales of both sportswear and dress shirts. All apparel divisions had significant sales increases with Izod in particular experiencing very strong sales growth.

Gross profit on apparel sales was 33.7% in the second quarter compared with 33.6% last year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of apparel sales were 28.7% in the second quarter compared with 29.1% last year. The improvement resulted principally from the additional leveraging of expenses on increased sales.

Net sales of the Company's footwear and related products segment in the second quarter were $98.3 million in 2000 compared with $104.1 million last year. Weak consumer demand for footwear in general and, particularly, seasonally important sandals, resulted in sales declines.

Gross profit on footwear and related products sales was 39.1% in the second quarter of 2000 compared with 38.6% last year. This expected increase was due principally to the closing of manufacturing operations in 1999 which has continued to lower product costs and improve gross margins.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of footwear and related products sales in the second quarter were 31.6% in 2000 compared with 31.5% in 1999. This increase resulted principally from the sales decrease, as actual expenses decreased from the prior year.

Interest expense in the second quarter was $5.2 million in 2000 compared with

$6.0 million last year. Interest expense decreased principally from the cash generated in 1999 associated with the liquidation of the Gant and Izod Club businesses.

-8-

Income taxes were estimated at a rate of 38.0% for the current year compared with the 1999 full year rate of 34.8%. The increased rate in the current year results principally from closing the Company's Bass manufacturing operations in Puerto Rico in the third quarter of 1999, resulting in a higher percentage of pre-tax income being subject to U.S. tax.

Corporate expenses in the second quarter were $4.1 million in 2000 compared with $6.2 million in 1999. This decrease relates principally to the absence of Year 2000 computer conversion costs.

Twenty-Six Weeks Ended July 30, 2000 Compared With Twenty-Six Weeks Ended

Net sales of the Company's apparel segment in the first half were $452.1 million in 2000, an increase of 9.0% from the prior year's $414.7 million. Included in the first half of 1999 were $57.0 million of sales related to the Gant and Izod Club businesses, which were disposed of in 1999. Excluding sales of Gant and Izod Club, apparel sales increased 26.4% over the prior year. This improvement was due to strong sales of both sportswear and dress shirts. All apparel divisions had significant sales increases over the prior year, with Izod, in particular, experiencing very strong sales growth, and the Dress Shirt division benefiting from sales of John Henry and Manhattan brand dress shirts, which the Company began marketing in last year's second quarter.

Gross profit on apparel sales was 33.2% in the first half of 2000 compared with 33.5% last year. This decrease was due principally to a change in product mix as the impact of John Henry and Manhattan brand dress shirts was to reduce gross margins in the current year's first quarter. The current year's second quarter was relatively flat with the prior year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of apparel sales in the first half were 29.5% in 2000 compared with 30.3% in 1999. The improvement resulted principally from the additional leveraging of expenses on increased sales.

Net sales of the Company's footwear and related products segment in the first half were $186.0 million in 2000 compared with $191.8 million last year. This decrease was due to the second quarter decrease explained above, as first quarter sales of this segment were relatively flat compared with the prior year.

Gross profit on footwear and related products sales was 38.8% in the first half of 2000 compared with 38.1% last year. This expected increase was due principally to the closing of manufacturing operations in 1999 which has continued to lower product costs and improve gross margins.

-9-

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of footwear and related products sales in the first half were 34.1% in 2000 and 33.6% in 1999. This increase resulted principally from the sales decrease, as actual expenses decreased from the prior year.

Interest expense in the first half was $10.4 million in 2000 compared with $12.2 million last year. This decrease was due principally from the cash generated in 1999 associated with the liquidation of the Gant and Izod Club businesses.

Corporate expenses in the first half were $8.1 million in 2000 compared with $11.2 million in 1999. This decrease relates principally to the absence of Year 2000 computer conversion costs.

The Company's business is seasonal, with higher sales and income during its third and fourth quarters, which coincide with the Company's two peak retail selling seasons: the first running from the start of the back to school and Fall selling seasons beginning in August and continuing through September; the second being the Christmas selling season beginning with the weekend following Thanksgiving and continuing through the week after Christmas.

Also contributing to the strength of the third quarter is the high volume of Fall shipments to wholesale customers which are generally more profitable than Spring shipments. The slower Spring selling season at wholesale combines with retail seasonality to make the first quarter particularly weak.

The seasonal nature of the Company's business typically requires the use of cash to fund a build-up in the Company's inventory in the first half of each fiscal year. During the third and fourth quarters, the Company's higher level of sales tends to reduce its inventory and generate cash from operations.

Net cash used by operations in the second half was $31.7 million in 2000 and $21.6 million in the prior year. This increase was due principally to the use of working capital, principally inventories, associated with the apparel segment's planned sales increases in the second half of the year.

The Company has a $325 million credit agreement which includes a revolving credit facility under which the Company may, at its option, borrow and repay amounts within certain limits. The agreement also includes a letter of credit facility with a sub-limit of $250 million, provided, however, that the aggregate maximum amount outstanding under both the revolving credit facility and the letter of credit facility is $325 million. The Company believes that its borrowing capacity under these facilities is adequate for its peak seasonal needs for the foreseeable future.
