                         AUTHENTIC FITNESS CORPORATION
              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
     1.  The accompanying 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 of the adjustments (all
of which were of a normal recurring nature, except as noted below) necessary  to
present  fairly the financial position of the  Company as of January 4, 1997, as
well as its results of operations and  cash flows for the periods ended  January
4,  1997, and December 30,  1995, except that the  results of operations for the
quarter and  six  months  ended  December 30,  1995,  reflect  certain  reserves
(including  adjustments) which  were recorded  in the  fourth quarter  of fiscal
1996. Such reserves and adjustments reduced gross profit as originally  reported
by  $6.7 million, pretax income as originally  reported by $10.9 million and net
income as originally  reported by  $6.7 million. Operating  results for  interim
periods  may  not  be  indicative  of results  for  the  full  fiscal  year. The
Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet at July 5, 1996, has been derived from  the
audited  Consolidated Balance Sheet included in  the Company's Form 10-K for the
year then ended. 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 July 6, 1996.
 
     2.  Certain  amounts  for  prior  periods  have  been  reclassified  to  be
comparable with the current period presentation.
 
     3. On September  6, 1996, the  Company entered into  a $200 Million  Credit
Agreement  (the '$200  Million Credit Agreement')  with GE Capital,  The Bank of
Nova Scotia, The  Bank of California  and Societe Generale,  which replaced  the
Company's  previous $250  Million Credit  Agreement. The  decrease in  the total
amount of the loan commitment reflects  the Company's decision not exercise  its
option  to purchase the  remaining portion of the  Series A Warrant representing
approximately 1.8  million shares  at $24  per share.  The $200  Million  Credit
Agreement  has a  term of  five years and  provides for  a term  loan (the 'Term
Loan') in  the  amount  of  $50  million and  a  revolving  loan  facility  (the
'Revolving  Loan')  in the  amount  of $150  million.  Borrowing under  the $200
Million Credit Agreement accrues interest at  the lenders base rate or at  LIBOR
plus  1.5% (approximately 7.2% at October 5, 1996). The Company is also required
to pay a commitment  fee on the  unused portion of the  Revolving Loan equal  to
 .50%  per  annum  on the  average  daily  unused revolving  loan  commitment. In
addition, the $200 Million Credit Agreement allows the Company to repurchase  up
to  $10 million  of its  own common  stock after  March 31,  1997, under certain
conditions. The Term Loan is payable in nine semi-annual installments commencing
on June 30, 1997 and a final installment of $7,500,000 due September 1, 2001.
 
     4. During the first quarter of fiscal 1997 GE Capital exercised the  Series
A Warrant and acquired 1,809,109 shares of the Company's common stock.
 
     5.  As of July 6,  1996, the Company has  approximately $3.5 million of net
operating loss carryforwards ($1.2 million  of income tax benefit) available  to
offset  future provisions for income taxes for financial reporting purposes. The
Company incurred a net  loss in fiscal  1996 and has  incurred a cumulative  net
loss  through the  first six months  of fiscal 1997,  and as a  result, will not
record future  benefits  from its  net  operating loss  carryforward  until  the
Company  realizes cumulative  net income for  the current fiscal  year, which is
expected to occur in the third quarter of fiscal 1997.
 
     6. On January  1, 1996, one  of the Company's  three distribution  centers,
located in Sparks, Nevada, was flooded destroying certain inventory owned by the
Company.  The Company is insured for such losses as well as for profits lost due
to business interruption.  As of  January 4, 1997,  the Company  had recorded  a
$15.7  million  receivable  from its  insurance  carrier related  to  this claim
representing $12.7 million  for the value of inventory damaged  in the flood and
$2.9  million of lost profit  on $8.6 million of orders  that were ready to ship
prior to incurring damage caused by the flood.

</TABLE>
 
     Net  revenues  for  the  second  quarter of  fiscal 1997 were $70.4 million
compared  to $77.3 million  in the second quarter  of fiscal 1996. Net  revenues
were  negatively  impacted by  $8.6 million  for  orders that  were ready  to be
shipped just prior to the flood. (See Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated  Condensed
Financial  Statements). The impact of the lost shipments was offset by insurance
claim  revenue  of  $2.9  million. Net revenues for the second quarter of fiscal
1996 also includes $3.3 million  of  net  revenue  related  to the insured value
of  damaged   inventory   partially   offset   by  $2.0  million  of incremental
reserves  for potential  future sales  returns  and allowances. Net revenues for
fiscal 1996 include $2.8 million  of  net  revenues from the discontinued outlet
stores   and  skiwear businesses  and $2.0 million of Herman's shipments. Speedo
Division net revenues for the second quarter  of fiscal 1997 were $36.6 million,
compared to last year's net revenues of $41.8 million. The  decrease  in  Speedo
net revenues is primarily attributable to the impact of the flood, lost Herman's
orders and the loss of  net  revenues  attributable  to  the discontinued outlet
stores. Designer swimwear division net revenues for the second quarter of fiscal
1997 were $17.3 million, compared to $20.2 million last  year primarily  due  to
the timing of  certain  Catalina  shipments  to Wal-Mart. Net revenues  for  the
Authentic Fitness Retail Stores for the second quarter of fiscal  1997 increased
25.6% to $12.7 million from $10.1 million in the  second quarter of fiscal 1996.
The Company currently has 144 stores, an increase of  30 stores from the  end of
the  first  quarter  of  fiscal  1997.  Net revenues for the first six months of
fiscal 1997 were $109.1 million compared  to  $120.2  million  reported  in  the
first six months of fiscal 1996. The decrease in net revenues for the first half
is  primarily  attributable to the loss of revenue due  to  the  flood  of  $8.6
million,  discontinuance of the outlet  store  and  skiwear  businesses  of $8.4
million, the timing of certain  designer swimwear shipments   to   Wal-Mart  and
the loss of net  revenues attributable  to  Herman's  of $4.6 million  partially
offset  by  the increase in Authentic Fitness Retail Stores net revenues of $5.4
million.
 
     Gross  profit  for  the  second   quarter  of  fiscal   1997  increased  to
$26.6  million from the $23.5  million reported in the  second quarter of fiscal
1996. Gross profit for the  first six months of  fiscal 1997 decreased to  $37.8
million  from $40.8 million in the first six months of fiscal 1996. Gross profit
for both the quarter and first six  months of fiscal 1996 includes $6.7  million
of  additional  reserves  (including  adjustments)  related  to  inventory.  The
decrease in gross profit  for the six months  of fiscal 1997 primarily  reflects
the lower  sales  volume noted above and the final markdowns of excess inventory
resulting  from  the  impact  of  the  Herman's  Liquidation.  Gross profit as a
percentage  of  net  revenues increased to 37.7% in the second quarter of fiscal
1997 compared to 30.3% in the second  quarter of fiscal 1996. Gross profit as  a
percentage of net revenues for the  first  six months of fiscal 1997  was 34.6%,
slightly higher than the  34.0% reported  last year.

     Selling,  general and  administrative expenses  decreased to  $18.5 million
(26.8% of net revenues) in the second quarter of fiscal 1997 from $22.6  million
(29.2%  of net revenues) in the second  quarter of fiscal 1996. Selling, general
and administrative expenses increased to  $38.5 million (35.7% of net  revenues)
in  the  first  six months  of  fiscal 1997  from  $34.4 million  (28.6%  of net
revenues) in  the  first  six  months  of  fiscal  1996.  Selling,  general  and
administrative   expenses  for  the  second  quarter  of  fiscal  1996  includes
approximately $4.2  million  of  additional  reserves  (including  adjustments),
primarily  related  to accounts  receivable.  Without these  additional charges,
selling, general and  administrative expenses  are approximately  equal to  last
year  for  the  quarter. Selling,  general  and  administrative expenses for the
second  quarter of fiscal 1997 includes approximately $3 million  of  gain  from
the  realization  of  certain  non-monetary  assets.  The  increase  in selling,
general  and  administrative  expenses  for  the  six months  primarily reflects
approximately $5.6 million  of additional  advertising expenses  incurred in the
first quarter  of fiscal 1997 related to the Olympics and Inner-City Games,  the
higher mix of Retail division sales which require a higher level  of selling and
administrative  expenses  than the wholesale divisions, higher depreciation  and
amortization  expenses  of  $0.2  million  and  $1.0  million of severance costs
related to a reduction  in work force  that  is  expected to  save  the  Company
approximately $3 million per year.
 
     Income  (loss) before  interest and  income taxes  was $8.1  million in the
second quarter of fiscal 1997 an increase  of $7.3 million compared to the  $0.8
million  reported in fiscal 1996. Income (loss) before interest and income taxes
for the first  six months of  fiscal 1996  was $(0.7) million  compared to  $6.4
million  in the comparable fiscal 1996 period. Income before interest and income
taxes for the second quarter and first  six months of fiscal 1996 include  $10.9
million of additional reserves (including adjustments), as noted above.
 
     Interest  expense was  $3.5 million  in the  second quarter  of fiscal 1997
compared to $2.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1996. Interest  expense
for  the  first six  months of  fiscal 1997  was $6.2  million compared  to $4.9
million in the first six months of fiscal 1996. The increase in interest expense
compared to last year  for both the  quarter and the  first six months  resulted
primarily  from borrowing  to support the  expansion of  the Company's Authentic
Fitness Retail Stores.
 
     The Company  did not  record an  income tax  provision or  benefit for  the
quarter  or  the  first six  months  of  fiscal 1997.  The  Company  expects its
effective income tax rate to be approximately 36% for fiscal 1997, equal to  the
rate  for the first six months of fiscal 1996.The Company incurred a net loss in
fiscal 1996 and has incurred a cumulative net loss through the first six  months
of  fiscal 1997, and as  a result, will not record  future benefits from its net
operating loss carryforward until the Company realizes cumulative net income for
the current fiscal  year, which is  expected to  occur in the  third quarter  of
fiscal 1997.
 
     Net  income for the second quarter of fiscal 1997 was $4.6 million compared
to a net loss of $1.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1996. The improved
net income  reflects the  higher gross  profit and  lower selling,  general  and
administrative  expenses. Net loss for  the first six months  of fiscal 1997 was
$6.9 million compared to net income of $1.0 million in fiscal 1996. The net loss
for the six  months reflects  lower gross  profit, higher  selling, general  and
administrative expenses and higher interest expense, all as noted above.
 
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
 
     On  August  16,  1995,  consistent with  the  Company's  goal  of providing
increased shareholder  value,  the Company  declared  its first  quarterly  cash
dividend  of 1.25[c] per share, equivalent of  an annual rate of 5[c] per share.
The Company  has  since declared  six  successive quarterly  cash  dividends  of
1.25[c]  per share. The Company believes that the payment of a regular quarterly
cash dividend helps broaden the Company's shareholder base.
 
     On September  6, 1996,  the  Company entered  into  a $200  million  Credit
Agreement  (the '$200  Million Credit Agreement')  with GE Capital,  The Bank of
Nova Scotia, The  Bank of  California and  Societe Generale  which replaced  the
Company's  previous $250  Million Credit  Agreement. The  decrease in  the total
amount of the Credit Agreement commitment  reflects the Company's intent not  to
exercise  their  option to  repurchase  the remaining  portion  of the  Series A
Warrant from GE Capital  representing 1.8 million shares  at $24 per share.  The
$200  Million Credit Agreement has a term of  five years and provides for a term
loan (the  'Term Loan')  in  the amount  of $50  million  and a  revolving  loan
facility in
 
                                       6

the  amount of  $150 million  (the 'Revolving  Loan'). Borrowing  under the $200
Million Credit Agreement accrues interest at  the lenders base rate or at  LIBOR
plus 1.5%. In addition, the agreement allows the Company to repurchase up to $10
million  of its own common stock after  March 1, 1997, under certain conditions.
The outstanding balance on the Company's Revolving Loan at February 12, 1997 was
approximately $98 million and  the outstanding balance under  the Term Loan  was
$50 million.
 
     The Company plans to expand its channels of distribution and provide growth
in  its operations by  opening additional Speedo'r'  Authentic Fitness'r' retail
stores. The  Company currently  has  144 stores  open  (including 20  stores  in
Bally's  Health  and  Fitness  Centers).  The  cost  of  leasehold improvements,
fixtures and the additional  working capital associated with  the opening of  an
average   new  store  is  expected  to   be  approximately  $250,000,  which  is
approximately equal to the average for fiscal 1997.
 
     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  arising  at the  end of  the third
quarter and beginning  of the  fourth 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. The Company meets  its
seasonal  working  capital  needs  by  utilizing  amounts  available  under  its
revolving line of  credit. The Company  has amended and  increased its lines  of
credit  several times in the last two  years, primarily to support the growth in
its swimwear divisions and to fund the  growth of its swimwear divisions and  to
fund the rapid rollout of the Authentic Fitness Retail Stores.
 
     Net cash used in  operating activities was  $10.9 million in  the first six
months of fiscal 1997 compared to a use of $43.3 million in the first six months
of fiscal  1996. The  improvement  in cash  flow  from operations  reflects  (i)
improved  accounts  receivable (after the flood claims) and  inventory primarily
due to the Company's decision to exit  the outlet store  and skiwear businesses,
(ii) lower prepaid expenses  of $12.3 million due to the increased spending last
year  leading  up  to  the  Olympic Games,  (iii)  improved accounts payable and
accrued  liabilities  of  $11.5  million  primarily  reflecting  the  timing  of
certain payments  for goods purchased offshore.
 
     Cash used in investing activities for  the first six months of fiscal  1997
was $14.1 million compared to $12.4 million in fiscal 1996. Capital expenditures
were  $12.2 million  in the first  six months  of fiscal 1997  compared to $10.4
million in  the  first six  months  of  fiscal 1996.  Capital  expenditures  are
primarily  related  to the  opening of  the  Company's Authentic  Fitness Retail
Stores.
 
     Cash flow from  financing activities  was $24.5  million in  the first  six
months  of fiscal  1997 compared  to $55.8  million in  fiscal 1996.  Total debt
increased by $30.2 million  in fiscal 1997 compared  to $42.3 million in  fiscal
1996  (not including  the issuance of  the Bridge Loan)  reflecting the seasonal
usage of working  capital as discussed  above. In fiscal  1996 the Company  sold
2,500,000  shares of its common stock  which generated approximately $50 million
of cash  proceeds  to the  Company.  In addition,  in  fiscal 1996  the  Company
purchased  one-half of the Series  A Warrant from GE  Capital for $36.5 million.
The Company utilized proceeds from the  issuance of the Bridge Loan to  complete
the Series A Warrant purchase.
 
     The  Company believes that  funds available under  its current $200 Million
Credit Agreement, as noted above, combined  with cash flow to be generated  from
future  operations  will  be  sufficient  for  the  operations  of  the Company,
including  debt  service,  dividend  payments  and  costs  associated  with  the
expansion  of its Authentic Fitness Retail Division for at least the next twelve
months. Although the Company believes that its current credit agreement and cash
flow to be  generated from  future operations will  also be  sufficient for  its
long-term  operations (periods beyond the  next twelve months) circumstances may
arise that would  require the  Company to  seek additional  financing. In  those
circumstances  the Company expects to evaluate  additional sources of funds, for
example, sales of additional common stock and expanded or additional bank credit
facilities.
