NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCLUDING SHARE DATA)
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
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 adjustments (all of
which were of a normal recurring nature) necessary to present fairly the
financial position of the Company as of April 3, 1999 as well as its results of
operations and cash flows for the periods ended April 3, 1999 and April 4, 1998.
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 2, 1999.
Start-Up Costs: In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998, retroactive to the
beginning of fiscal 1998, the Company early adopted the provisions of SOP 98-5
requiring that pre-operating costs relating to the start-up of new manufacturing
facilities, product lines and businesses be expensed as incurred. The Company
recognized $46,250, after taxes, as the cumulative effect of a change in
accounting to reflect the new accounting and write-off the balance of
unamortized deferred start-up costs as of the beginning of 1998. In addition,
the Company recognized in first quarter 1998 earnings approximately $14,322,
before taxes, related to 1998 costs that would have been deferred under the
Company's start-up accounting policy prior to the adoption of SOP 98-5. Prior to
the early adoption of SOP 98-5, start-up costs were deferred and amortized using
the straight line method, principally over five years.
Adjustments, Reclassifications and Revisions: As noted above, the Company early
adopted SOP 98-5 in fiscal 1998. In connection with the adoption of the new
accounting standard, an extensive effort was undertaken to identify all start-up
related production and inefficiency costs that had previously been deferred.
Over the last six years, the Company has opened or expanded 10 manufacturing
facilities. In addition, to support anticipated future growth, the Company
opened 2 new manufacturing facilities during 1998 for a total of 12 new
facilities. This resulted in the Company incurring plant inefficiencies and
other start-up related costs resulting from high turnover and related training
and other costs. Such start-up related production and inefficiency costs had
been classified in other assets and inventories. Because certain such costs
identified in this process related to prior period activities, such prior period
consolidated financial statements have been revised to reflect additional costs
of goods sold. The amount of the revision affecting the fiscal 1998 first
quarter was $14,481. For additional information, see Notes 1 and 18 to the
consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 1999.
Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to be comparable with
the current period presentation.

NOTE 2 - EQUITY
As of April 3, 1999 and January 2, 1999, Class A common stock outstanding was
65,176,608 shares and 65,172,608 shares, respectively. On March 1, 1999, the
Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional 10.0 million
shares of the Company's common stock to supplement its previously authorized
12.42 million share stock repurchase program. During the three months ended
April 3, 1999, the Company repurchased 425,700 shares under equity option
arrangements at a cost of approximately $17,000 and 890,600 shares in open
market purchases at a cost of approximately $21,900. A total of approximately
7.3 million shares have been repurchased under the current authorization of
22.42 million shares leaving approximately 15.1 million shares available to
repurchase. The Company has options outstanding on approximately 1.1 million
shares at an average forward price of $33.51 per share at April 3, 1999. These
option arrangements expire between May 1999 and August 1999. If the arrangements
were settled on a net cash basis at April 3, 1999, the Company would be
obligated to pay $9,200 based on the closing price of the Company's common
stock. After accounting for these options, the Company has approximately 14.0
million shares available to repurchase. As of April 3, 1999, treasury stock
includes approximately 7.4 million shares at a cost of $210,500.
NOTE 3 - 1998 RESTRUCTURING AND SPECIAL CHARGES
In the fiscal 1998 fourth quarter, the Company recorded restructuring and other
special charges related to costs to exit certain facilities and activities,
including charges related to inventory write-downs and valuations, asset
impairments and employee termination and severance benefits. Through April 3,
1999, the reduction in force has been substantially completed and two retail
outlet stores were closed. Factory shutdowns and realignments along with related
headcount reductions are anticipated to be completed by July 1999 and the retail
outlet store restructuring is expected to be complete by the end of the second
quarter of 1999.

NOTE 4 - INVESTMENTS
During the first quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company received shares of common
stock in exchange for the early termination of a non-compete agreement with the
former principal stockholder of its Designer Holdings subsidiary. The fair
market value of the common stock on the date of issuance was $875, which was
recorded as a reduction of goodwill associated with the Designer Holdings
acquisition. The investment is classified as an available-for-sale security
and recorded at fair value. Unrealized gains at April 3, 1999 of $616 (net of
deferred income taxes of $346), were included as a separate component of
stockholders' equity. The Company did not have any marketable securities at
January 2, 1999. Marketable securities are included in other current assets at
April 3, 1999.
NOTE 5 - SUMMARIZED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following is summarized unaudited financial information of the Company's
wholly-owned subsidiary, Designer Holdings, as of April 3, 1999 and January 2,
1999 and for the fiscal quarters ended April 3, 1999 and April 4, 1998,
respectively. Designer Holdings, acquired by the Company in the fourth quarter
of 1997, develops, manufactures and markets designer jeanswear and sportswear
for men, women and juniors and holds a 40-year extendable license from Calvin
Klein, Inc. to develop, manufacture and market designer jeanswear and jeans

added $18.8 million to net revenues in the current fiscal quarter. The
improvement was principally due to increased Calvin Klein Jeanswear net
revenues. Chaps net revenues were flat as systems implementation problems
disrupted approximately $10.0 million of shipments. The systems issues have
since been resolved.
Intimate Apparel division net revenues decreased $6.4 million or 2.9% to
$211.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 from $218.0 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 1998. Discontinued product lines accounted for $7.6
million of the decrease during the quarter. Excluding discontinued product
lines, net revenues increased $1.2 million or 0.6%. Net revenues in the Calvin
Klein Underwear segment improved $6.9 million or 10.6% to $71.7 million in the
first quarter. The strong results were due to improved international revenues,
particularly Europe and Asia. Lejaby net revenues also improved 7.6% to $31.3
million. The core Warner's/Olga businesses were lower during the quarter,
reflecting a lower level of off-price sales. International sales accounted for
34.7% of total divisional net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 compared
with 33.0% of total divisional net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1998,
with the increase due to the improvements noted earlier for Calvin Klein Europe
and Asia.
The Retail Outlet Store division net revenues were essentially flat at
$24.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 compared with $24.4 million in
fiscal 1998.

Gross profit increased $34.5 million or 28.9% to $154.1 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 1999 compared with $119.6 million in the first quarter
of fiscal 1998. Gross margin was 34.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 1999
compared with 28.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 1998. The improvement in
gross margin is a result of a decline in start-up related costs, a decrease in
off-price sales and lower costs resulting from the Company's 1998 restructuring.
As part of the 1998 restructuring, the Company realigned factories, consolidated
facilities and reduced headcount, resulting in a more favorable cost structure.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $5.7 million or 5.9%
to $101.9 million (22.9% of net revenues) in the first quarter of fiscal 1999
compared with $96.2 million (22.9% of net revenues) in the first quarter of
fiscal 1998. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses
primarily reflects an increase in marketing expenses for the Sportswear and
Accessories division and higher corporate expenses related to information
systems and year 2000 remediation expenses.
Interest expense increased $3.2 million to $16.8 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 1999 compared with $13.6 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 1998. The increase reflects the funding of the Company's recent
acquisitions and stock buyback program.
The provision for income taxes for the first quarter of fiscal 1999
reflects an estimated effective income tax rate of 35.3%.
Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 was $22.9 million,
compared with income of $6.1 million before the cumulative effect of a change
in accounting principle in the first quarter of fiscal 1998. The increase in
income reflects the higher net revenues and associated gross profit mentioned
above.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY.
The Company's liquidity requirements arise primarily from its debt service
requirements and the funding of its 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 was $(127.0) million in the first quarter of fiscal
1999 compared with $(145.4) million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998. The
increase in cash from operating activities reflects higher net income partially
offset by higher seasonal working capital usage primarily due to the 6% higher
sales.
Cash used in investing activities was $(12.0) million for the first
quarter of fiscal 1999 compared with $(48.1) million in the first quarter of
fiscal 1998. Capital expenditures were $1.8 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 1999 compared with $31.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998.
Fiscal

<PAGE>
1999 included amounts for information systems implementations (net of
reimbursements received of $24.0 million) and store fixture programs.
Cash provided from financing activities was $149.5 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 1999 compared with $193.0 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 1998. The increase in the Company's revolving credit balance during the
first quarter of the fiscal year of $197.6 million was lower than the $245.9
million increase in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 due to the favorable cash
flows from operating and investing activities as previously discussed. The
Company paid approximately $38.9 million for the repurchase of shares in the
first quarter of fiscal 1999 compared with $47.5 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 1998. The Company repaid $3.5 million of long term debt in the first
quarter of fiscal 1999 compared with $1.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal
1998.
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 the working capital, share repurchase 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.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE.
The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using
two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the Company's
computer programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date using
"00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. These programs, including some
that are critical to the Company's operations, could fail to properly process
data that contain dates after 1999 unless they are modified or replaced.
Following a comprehensive review of current systems and future requirements
to support international growth, the Company initiated a program to replace
existing capabilities with enhanced hardware and software applications. The
objectives of the program are to achieve competitive benefits for the Company,
as well as assuring that all information systems will meet Year 2000 compliance.
Full implementation of this program is expected to require expenditures of
approximately $7.0 million over the next three to six months, primarily for Year
2000 compliance and system upgrades. Funding requirements have been incorporated
into the Company's capital expenditure planning and are not expected to have a
material adverse impact on financial condition, results of operations or
liquidity. The implementation and testing processes are approximately 70%
complete and are anticipated to be completed in the third quarter of fiscal
1999.
As a part of its Year 2000 process, the Company intends to test its Year
2000 readiness for critical business processes and application systems. The
Company anticipates that minor issues will be identified during this test period
and intends to address such issues during the first half of fiscal 1999. The
Company has contacted key suppliers and vendors in order to determine the status
of such third parties' Year 2000 remediation plans. Evaluation of suppliers' and
vendors' readiness is currently on-going. The Company recognizes the need for
Year 2000 contingency plans in the event that remediation is not fully
successful or that the remediation efforts of its vendors, suppliers and
governmental/regulatory agencies are not timely completed. This process was
begun in fiscal 1998
- 13 -
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
and is essentially complete at this time. The Company's contingency planning
includes upgrading current information systems operating and application
software to Year 2000 compliance. Such remediation costs will be charged to
operations as incurred.
The Company recognizes that issues related to Year 2000 constitute a material
known uncertainty. The Company also recognizes the importance of ensuring its
operations will not be adversely affected by Year 2000 issues. It believes that
the processes described above will be effective to manage the risks associated
with the problem. However, there can be no assurance that the process can be
completed on the timetable described above or that the remediation process will
be fully effective. The failure to identify and remediate Year 2000 problems or,
the failure of key third parties who do business with the Company or
governmental regulatory agencies to timely remediate their Year 2000 issues
could cause system failures or errors and business interruptions.
This Year 2000 update should be read in conjunction with the Company's
disclosure under "Statement Regarding Forward-looking Disclosures".
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS No.
133). This statement, which is effective for the fiscal year beginning January
3, 2000, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments and hedging activities. SFAS No. 133 requires the recognition of all
derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial
position along with the measurement of such instruments at fair value.
Management believes, based on current activities, that the implementation of
SFAS No. 133 will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated
financial position, liquidity, cash flows or results of operations.
STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING DISCLOSURE
This Report includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
Section 27A of Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended which represent the Company's
expectations or beliefs concerning future events that involve risks and
uncertainties, including those associated with the effect of national and
regional economic conditions, the overall level of consumer spending, the
performance of the Company's products within the prevailing retail environment,
customer acceptance of both new designs and newly-introduced product lines, and
financial difficulties encountered by customers. All statements other than
statements of historical facts included in this quarterly report, including,
without limitation, the statements under Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition, are forward-looking statements. Although the Company
believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are
reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have
been correct.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates
and foreign currency exchange rates, and selectively uses financial instruments
to manage these risks. The Company does not enter into financial instruments for
speculation or for trading purposes.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company is subject to market risk from exposure to changes in interest
rates based primarily on its financing activities. The Company enters into
interest rate swap agreements to reduce the impact of interest rate fluctuations
on cash flow and interest expense. As of April 3, 1999, approximately $610.0
million of interest-rate sensitive obligations were swapped to achieve a fixed
rate of 5.99%, limiting the Company's risk to any future shift in interest
rates. As of April 3, 1999, the net fair value liability of all financial
instruments (primarily interest rate swap agreements) with exposure to interest
rate risk was approximately $10.8 million. The potential decrease in fair value
resulting from a hypothetical 10% shift in interest rates would be approximately
$15.3 million.
Foreign Exchange Risk
The Company has foreign currency exposures related to buying, selling and
financing in currencies other than the functional currency in which it operates.
These exposures are primarily concentrated in the Canadian dollar, Mexican peso,
Hong Kong dollar, British pound and the Euro. The Company enters into foreign
currency forward and option contracts to mitigate the risk of doing business in
foreign currencies. The Company hedges currency exposures of firm commitments
and anticipated transactions denominated in non-functional currencies to protect
against the possibility of diminished cash flow and adverse impacts on earnings.
As of April 3, 1999, the net fair value asset of financial instruments with
exposure to foreign currency risk, which included primarily currency option
contracts, was $0.4 million. The potential decrease in fair value resulting
from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in quoted foreign currency exchange rates
would be limited to $0.4 million, the fair value of these options.
