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 management, 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 July 3, 1999 as well as its results of
operations and cash flows for the periods ended July 3, 1999 and July 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/A for the fiscal year ended January 2, 1999. Certain amounts for prior
periods have been reclassified to be comparable with the current period
presentation.

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 ($71,484, pre-tax), 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 1998 earnings for the three- and six-month periods
ended July 4, 1998 approximately $8,263 and $22,585, before taxes, respectively,
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.


NOTE 2 - EQUITY

As of July 3, 1999 and January 2, 1999, Class A common stock outstanding was
55,650,003 shares, net of 9,785,497 shares held in treasury and 59,084,934
shares, net of 6,087,674 shares held in treasury, 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 six months
ended July 3, 1999, the

              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                  (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCLUDING SHARE DATA)


Company repurchased 1,355,002 shares under equity option arrangements at a cost
of approximately $49,419 and 2,287,700 shares in open market purchases at a cost
of approximately $61,687. A total of approximately 9.5 million shares have been
repurchased under the current authorization of 22.42 million shares leaving
approximately 12.9 million shares available to repurchase. The Company has
options outstanding on 142,200 shares at an average forward price of $24.61 per
share at July 3, 1999. These option arrangements expire in August 1999. If the
arrangements were settled on a net cash basis at July 3, 1999, the Company would
be entitled to receive $260 based on the closing price of the Company's common
stock. After accounting for these options, the Company has approximately 12.8
million shares available to repurchase. As of July 3, 1999, treasury stock
includes approximately 9.8 million shares at a cost of $284,256.

In May 1999, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 190,680
shares of restricted stock to certain employees, including officers and
directors of the Company. The restricted shares vest ratably over four years and
will be fully vested in May 2003. The fair market value of the restricted shares
was approximately $5.4 million at the date of grant. The Company recognizes
compensation expense equal to the fair value of the restricted shares on the
date of grant over the vesting period.



NOTE 3 - RESTRUCTURING

As a result of a strategic review of the Company's businesses, manufacturing and
other facilities, product lines and styles and worldwide operations following
significant acquisitions in 1996 and 1997, in the fourth quarter of 1998 the
Company initiated the implementation of programs designed to streamline
operations and improve profitability. These programs resulted in pre-tax charges
of approximately $40,000 related to costs to exit certain product lines and
styles, as well as facilities and realignment of Manufacturing and Distribution
activities, including charges related to inventory write-downs and employee
termination and severance benefits.


The details of the charges to these reserves in fiscal 1999, including costs
incurred and reserves remaining for costs estimated to be incurred through
completion of the aforementioned program, anticipated by the end of fiscal
1999, are summarized below:

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

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 July 3, 1999 of $392 (net of
deferred income taxes of $210), were included as a separate component of

                             THE WARNACO GROUP, INC.
              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                  (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCLUDING SHARE DATA)


    Prior to its acquisition by the Company, Designer Holdings experienced
substantial sales growth. A significant portion of this sales growth was
achieved through distribution to jobbers and off-price retailers. Additionally,
Designer Holdings had also announced a significant increase in the number of its
outlet stores. The Company viewed this growth and expansion as detrimental to
the long-term integrity and value of the brand. To sustain its growth strategy,
Designer Holdings committed to large quantities of inventories. When the primary
department store distribution channel was unable to absorb all of Designer
Holdings' committed production, it increased sales to the secondary and tertiary
distribution channels, including sales to jobbers, off-price retailers and
Designer Holdings' own outlet stores, which were expanded to serve as an
additional channel of distribution. The Company's post-acquisition strategy did
not embrace the outlet store expansion or expansion of secondary channels of
distribution, thereby significantly eliminating product distribution, resulting
in excess inventory.

    The Company had a different plan from that of Designer Holdings for
realization of inventories and accounts receivable, as follows: Based upon its
strategy for the business, it had to quickly dispose of significantly higher
than desirable levels of inventory. It had to stabilize relationships with its
core department store customers. It had to collect receivable balances from
customers with whom the Company would no longer do business, and had to respond
to challenges from the core department store customers who were adversely
impacted by channel conflict and brand image issues. Finally, the Company began
a complete redesign of the product, the impact of which would not be immediately
felt at retail due to the fact that Designer Holdings had already committed to
inventory that was in production to be delivered for the ensuing seasons.

    The consequences related not only to the receivables and inventory acquired,
but also to the design, fabric and inventory purchases to which Designer
Holdings had previously committed. Immediately following the acquisition, the
Company began quickly liquidating excess inventories. Most of these sales were
below original cost. Not only did the Company fail to recover cost (including
royalties payable to the licensor), it was deprived of the 'reasonable gross
profit' contemplated by APB Opinion 16 in valuing acquired inventory.
Accordingly, the Company reduced the historical carrying value of inventory by
$18 million. The $18 million fair value adjustment recorded addressed all of
these issues and represented the fair value of inventory pursuant to APB Opinion
16.

    The Company offered significant discounts (by negotiating settlements on a
customer by customer basis) to collect outstanding receivable balances in light
of product related issues raised, as well as the decision to discontinue certain
channels of distribution, realizing that these balances would become
increasingly more difficult to collect with the passage of time. In addition,
the core retail customers took substantial deductions against current invoices
for the Designer Holdings inventory in the stores, unilaterally revising the
economics of the initial sale transaction entered into by Designer Holdings.
Although these deductions relate to both the inventory acquired and
pre-acquisition accounts receivable, the decrease in asset value manifested
itself through accounts receivable as a result of these deductions. Accordingly,
the Company reduced the historical carrying value of accounts receivable by $31
million. The $31 million fair value adjustment, which was recorded pursuant to
APB Opinion 16, addresses these issues.

    The Company believes that these strategies should enhance future results of
operations and cash flows, however, these fair value adjustments will result in
additional annual goodwill amortization of approximately $1.2 million.

In conjunction with the allocation of purchase price of Designer Holdings to
assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the Company recorded accruals of
approximately $48,313 pursuant to EITF 95-3. These charges relate generally to
employee termination and severance benefits, facility exit costs, including
lease termination costs (representing future lease payments on abandoned
facilities) and contract termination costs. The detail of the charges
to these reserves in fiscal 1999, including costs incurred and reserves
remaining for costs estimated to be incurred through completion of the
aforementioned programs, anticipated by the end of fiscal 1999, are
summarized below:

     Net revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 were $484.7 million,
$45.8 million or 10.4% higher than the $438.9 million recorded in the second
quarter of fiscal 1998. For the six-month period, net revenues increased $70.7
million or 8.2% over the comparable 1998 period.



     Net revenues in the Sportswear and Accessories division increased $46.1
million or 24.9% to $230.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 compared
with $184.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1998. The improvement was
principally due to increased Calvin Klein Jeanswear of $34.3 million and Chaps
by Ralph Lauren of $10.1 million. For the six-month period, net revenues
increased $77.6 million or 21.5% to $439.2 million compared with $361.6 million
in the comparable 1998 period. The improvement was due to increased net revenues
in the Calvin Klein Jeanswear and Kidswear businesses of $67.2 million.

     Intimate Apparel division net revenues increased $0.5 million or 0.2% to
$221.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 from $220.5 million in the
second quarter of fiscal 1998. Net revenues in the Calvin Klein Underwear
segment improved $9.1 million or 14.7% to $70.8 million in the second quarter.
The strong results were due to improved international revenues, primarily in
Asia. In addition, the division reported strong growth in the Sleepwear segment
of $1.7 million, due to the addition of several new accounts, and in the
Shapewear segment which increased $9.0 million, where the Weight Watchers brand
was launched during the second quarter. Partially offsetting these improvements
was a decrease in the core Warner's/Olga businesses of $16.4 million, reflecting
a lower level of off-price sales and the discontinuation of certain product
lines in the last quarter of fiscal 1998. International sales accounted for
approximately 30% of total divisional net sales in the second quarter of fiscal
1999 and 1998. For the six month period, net revenues declined $5.9 million or
1.3% to $432.6 million compared with $438.5 million in the comparable 1998
period, with Warner's /Olga brands down $27.8 million shipping a better mix of
product with fewer closeouts than the previous year and lower sales due to
discontinued product lines of $9.7 million favorably offset by strong growth in
the Calvin Klein Underwear, up $15.9 million and Bodyslimmers and Shapewear, up
$12.2 million.



     The Retail Outlet Store division net revenues decreased in both the second
quarter and six month period of fiscal 1999

                                      -12-



<PAGE>


compared with fiscal 1998, the result of the closing of approximately 10
underperforming stores in connection with the 1998 restructuring.



     Gross profit increased $41.8 million or 31.8% to $173.2 million in the
second quarter of fiscal 1999 compared with $131.5 million in the second quarter
of fiscal 1998. Gross margin was 35.7 % in the second quarter of fiscal 1999
compared with 30.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 1998. For the six-month
period, gross profit increased $76.3 million or 30.4% to $327.3 million compared
with $251.0 million in the comparable 1998 period. Gross margins improved to
35.2% in the 1999 six month period compared with 29.3% in 1998. The improvement
in gross margin is a result of a decline in start-up of $8.3 million and
$22.6 million and production and inefficiency costs of $11.2 million and
$25.6 million which were included in the fiscal 1998 second quarter and
six-month results respectively, a decrease in off-price sales in the
Intimate Apparel division and lower costs in both the Intimate Apparel and
Sportswear and Accessories divisions resulting from the Company's 1998
restructuring where the Company realigned factories, consolidated facilities
and reduced headcount, resulting in a more favorable cost structure.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $14.7 million or
15.3% to $110.7 million (22.8% of net revenues) in the second quarter of fiscal
1999 compared with $96.0 million (21.9% of net revenues) in the second quarter
of fiscal 1998. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses
primarily reflects higher corporate expenses of $3.8 million, primarily related
to information systems and Year 2000 remediation expenses. For the six month
period, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $20.4 million or
10.6% to $212.6 million (22.9% of net revenues) compared with $192.1 million
(22.4% of net revenues) in the comparable 1998 period. The increase is the
result of higher corporate expenses of $6.8 million, primarily related to
information systems and Year 2000 remediation expenses and increased marketing
costs of $5.0 million, primarily in the Sportswear and Accessories division.

Operating Profit

Intimate Apparel Division. Operating profit before special charges increased
$2.2 million or 5.2% to $44.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1999
compared with $42.2 million in 1998, attributable to higher gross profit. For
the six-month period, operating profit before special charges increased $1.4
million or 1.6% to $87.7 million compared with $86.3 million for the 1998
six-month period, due to higher gross profit. Fiscal 1998 includes $8.3 million
in the second quarter and $22.6 million for the six months of SOP 98-5 start up
costs and $11.2 million and $25.6 million of other production and inefficiency
costs, in the same periods.

Sportswear and Accessories Division. Operating profit increased $10.5 million or
37.7% to $39.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 compared with $28.4
million in fiscal 1998, attributable to the 24.9% sales increased mentioned
above. For the six-month period, operating profit increased $16.5 million or
30.4% to $70.7 million compared with %54.2 million for the 1998 six-month
period, due to the 21.5% sales increase mentioned above.

Retail Outlet Store Division. Operating profit decreased $600,000 to $2.9
million in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 compared with $3.5 million in the
second quarter last year. For the six months, operating profit decreased $1.4
million to $3.1 million compared with $4.5 million last year. The decrease is
attributable to additional markdowns required to lower inventory.


     Interest expense increased $3.5 million to $18.7 million in the second
quarter of fiscal 1999 compared with $15.2 million in the second quarter of
fiscal 1998. For the six month period, interest expense was up $6.7 million over
the comparable 1998 period to $35.5 million. The increase reflects the funding
of the Company's recent acquisitions and stock buyback program.

     The  provision  for income taxes for the second  quarter of fiscal 1999 was
36.6% which reflects an estimated effective income tax rate for the full year of
1999 of 36.0%.

     Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 1999 was $27.8 million compared
with net income of $12.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1998. For the
six-month period, net income before the cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle in the first quarter of 1998 grew by $31.7 million to $50.7
million. The increase in net 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

                                      - 13-



<PAGE>



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 $(171.0) million in the first half of fiscal
1999 compared with $ (122.9) million in the first half of fiscal 1998. The
increase in cash used by operating activities reflects higher seasonal working
capital requirements primarily in finished goods inventories to allow for a
better order match rate in the second half of the year. Partially offsetting the
increase in working capital was a higher level of net income compared with the
first half of fiscal 1998.

     Cash used in investing activities was $ (67.1) million for the first half
of fiscal 1999 compared with $ (159.8) million in the first half of fiscal 1998.
Capital expenditures were $ 33.1 million in the first half of fiscal 1999
compared with $ 72.1 million in the first half of fiscal 1998. Fiscal 1999
included amounts for information systems implementations (net of reimbursements
received of $24.0 million) and store fixture programs. During the second quarter
of fiscal 1999, the Company acquired certain inventory along with the Canadian
license for Chaps by Ralph Lauren for $10.2 million.


     Cash provided from financing activities was $245.2 million in the first
half of fiscal 1999 compared with $285.0 million in the first half of fiscal
1998. The increase in the Company's revolving credit balance during the first
half of the fiscal year of $371.2 million was higher than the $329.0 million
increase in the first half of fiscal 1998 due to the increase in cash used by
operating activities as previously discussed. The Company paid approximately
$111.1 million for the repurchase of shares in the first half of fiscal 1999
compared with $15.7 million in the first half of fiscal 1998. In 1998, in
exchange for shares received from option holders with a fair market value of
$38.1 million, the Company paid $38.1 million of withholding taxes on options
that were exercised during the year. In the first half of fiscal 1998, in
exchange for shares received from option holders with a fair value of $38.1
million, the Company paid $38.1 million of withholding taxes on options that
were exercised during the year. The Company repaid $3.5 million of long term
debt in the first half of fiscal 1999 compared with $4.7 million in the first
half 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 $3.7 million over the next three 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 complete for the Calvin
Klein underwear and Chaps by Ralph Lauren businesses and are anticipated to be
completed by October 1999 for the remainder of the Company's businesses.

     As a part of its Year 2000 compliance program, the Company is in the
process of testing its Year 2000 readiness for critical business processes and
application systems. The Company has addressed issues identified during this
test period. 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 and is essentially complete at
this time. The Company's contingency planning includes upgrading current
information

                                      - 14-


<PAGE>

systems operating and application software to Year 2000 compliance. Such
remediation costs have been 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 a standard on accounting for derivative
instruments and hedging activities. This standard, which is effective for the
fiscal year beginning January 3, 2001, establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities and 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 this standard 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, which have the effect of converting the Company's
variable rate obligations to fixed rate obligations, to reduce the impact of
interest rate fluctuations on cash flow and interest expense. As of July 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 July 3, 1999, the net fair value asset of
all financial instruments (primarily interest rate swap agreements) with
exposure to interest rate risk was approximately $ 6.4 million. As of July 3,
1999, the Company had approximately $628.5 million of obligations subject to
variable interest rates in excess of such obligations that had been swapped to
achieve a fixed rate. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in interest rates as of
July 3, 1999 would have had a $0.9 million unfavorable impact on the Company's
pre-tax earnings and cash flow over the three-month period. The fair value of
the Company's interest rate swap agreements are based upon quotes from brokers
and represent the cash requirement if the existing agreements had been settled
at quarter-end.

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 July 3, 1999, the net fair value asset of financial instruments with
exposure to foreign currency risk, which included primarily currency option
contracts, was $0.2 million. The potential decrease in fair value resulting from
a hypothetical 10% adverse change in quoted foreign currency exchange rates
would be limited to $0.2 million, the fair value of these options.

Equity Price Risk

   The Company entered into combination put-call contracts to facilitate the
repurchase of its common stock. At July 3, 1999, the Company has contracts
covering approximately 142,000 shares of common stock with an average forward
price of $24.61 per share. At July 3, 1999, the net fair value of these
contracts was approximately $0.3 million.
