                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have
   been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and
   Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations for interim
   financial information. Accordingly, they do not contain all of the
   information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
   principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company,
   the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements contain all the
   adjustments (all of which were of a normal recurring nature) necessary to
   present fairly the financial position of the Company as of April 5, 1997 as
   well as its results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended April
   5, 1997 and April 6, 1996. Operating results for interim periods may not be
   indicative of results for the full fiscal year. For further information,
   refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included
   in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January
   4, 1997.

2. Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to be comparable
   with the current period presentation.

3. On May 14, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors  authorized the  repurchase
of  an additional 420,000 shares to  supplement its  previously  authorized  two
million share stock repurchase program.

4. In February 1997, the  Financial Accounting Standards Board  issued Statement
of  Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128,  "Earnings per Share,"  which
requires  the  dual  presentation of  Basic and  Diluted Earnings per share. Pro
Forma Basic  and  Diluted Earnings  per share calculated in accordance with this
standard would have been income of $0.35 and $0.34, respectively, for the  three
months ended April 5, 1997 and income of $0.30 and $0.29, respectively, for  the
three months ended April 6, 1996. The Company will adopt this standard as of
January 3, 1998 as required. Early adoption is not permitted.

Net revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 were $251.5 million, 21.8%
higher than the $206.5 million recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 1996.

Intimate apparel division net revenues increased 24.2% to $194.8 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 1997 from $156.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal
1996. The increase in net revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 compared
to fiscal 1996 reflects $32.5 million related to the acquisitions of Lejaby, GJM
and Bodyslimmers and an increase in Calvin Klein net revenues. International
shipments in the first quarter of fiscal 1997, including Calvin Klein and
Lejaby, increased 63.9% to $65.4 million from $39.9 million in the first quarter
of fiscal 1996.

International sales accounted for  33.6% of total  Divisional  Net sales in  the
first quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to 25.4% of total Divisional Net sales in
the first quarter of fiscal 1996, reflecting the Company's continuing expansion
outside the United States.

Menswear division net revenues increased 11.2% to $47.5 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 1997 from $42.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1996.
Excluding discontinued operations, net revenues increased 36.1% in fiscal 1997
compared to fiscal 1996, primarily due to an increase of 41% in Chaps.

Gross profit increased 27.2% to $92.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal
1997 from $72.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1996. Gross margin was
36.9% in the first quarter of fiscal 1997, 160 basis points higher than
the 35.3% recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 1996. The increase in gross
profit reflects the higher net revenues, as noted above. The increase in
gross profit as a percentage of net revenues reflects a higher mix of regular
price sales, manufacturing efficiencies and the positive impact of discontinuing
the Hathaway brand.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $53.2 million (21.1%
of net revenues) in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 from $40.6 million (19.6%
of net revenues) in the first quarter of fiscal 1996. The increase in selling,
general and administrative expenses primarily reflects the higher sales volume,
as noted above. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as
a percentage of net revenues reflects higher advertising to support the Marilyn
Monroe and Calvin Klein businesses (increasing from 3.7% to 4.8% of net
revenues) and higher amortization expense related to intangible assets from the
acquisitions completed in fiscal 1996, partially offset by cost savings from the
consolidation implemented in 1996.

Interest expense increased $2.6 million to $9.8 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 1997 compared to $7.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1996. The
increase reflects interest costs attributable to the three acquisitions
completed in fiscal 1996.

The provision for income taxes for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 reflects an
estimated effective income tax rate of 39.0% for the 1997 fiscal year.

Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 was $18.1 million, an increase
of 19.1% compared to net income of $15.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal
1996. The increase in net income reflects the increased operating income noted
above partially offset by higher interest expense.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY.

On May 11, 1995, consistent with the Company's goal of providing increased
shareholder value, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.07 per
share. The Company has since declared nine successive quarterly cash dividends.
In fiscal 1997, the Company increased its quarterly cash dividend from $0.07
per share to $0.08 per share.

The Company's liquidity requirements arise primarily from its debt service
requirements and the funding of the Company's working capital needs, primarily
inventory and accounts receivable. The Company's borrowing requirements are
seasonal, with peak working capital needs generally arising at the end of the
second quarter and during the third quarter of the fiscal year. The Company
typically generates nearly all of its operating cash flow in the fourth quarter
of the fiscal year reflecting third and fourth quarter shipments and the sale of
inventory built during the first half of the fiscal year.

Cash used in operations before the payment of accruals related to exiting the
Hathaway business, consolidation and realignment of the intimate apparel
division and other items was $75.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997
compared to $71.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1996. The increase in
cash used in operating activities reflects higher seasonal working capital usage
primarily due to higher sales. Net cash used in operations for the first
quarter of fiscal 1997 also includes $1.6 million of the payment of accruals
related to exiting the Hathaway business, consolidating and realigning the
intimate apparel division and other items which were completed in fiscal 1996.

Cash used in investing activities was $25.0 million for the first quarter of
fiscal 1997 compared to $21.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1996.
Capital expenditures were $9.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997
compared to $8.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1996. Payment for the
purchase of acquired assets and acquisition accruals includes $14.0 million
related to the purchase of GJM in fiscal 1996 and $6.2 million related to the
payment of acquisition accruals, primarily Lejaby, in fiscal 1997. In addition,
$8.9 million was paid related to intangibles and other assets in the first
quarter of fiscal 1997.

Cash provided from financing activities was $99.9 million in the first quarter
of fiscal 1997 compared to $92.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1996.
The balance under the Company's revolving credit agreements which normally
increases during the first quarter of the fiscal year was $116.5 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to $96.3 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 1996. The Company repaid $8.3 million of long term debt in the first
quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to $0.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal
1996. The Company repurchased 162,800 shares of its common stock in the first
quarter of fiscal 1997 at a total purchase price of approximately $5.3 million.
The Company has purchased approximately $12.4 million of its common stock under
the current repurchase program, representing 412,800 shares of its common stock.

The Company believes that funds available under its existing credit arrangements
and cash flow to be generated from future operations will be sufficient to meet
working capital and capital expenditure needs of the Company, including
dividends and interest and principal payments on outstanding debt obligations
for the next twelve months and for the next several years.
