              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) 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 March 30, 1996. Operating results
      for interim periods may not be indicative of results for the full fiscal
      year. The Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet at July 6, 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 is for 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
      7.7% at April 5, 1997). 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 had 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 had recorded valuation allowances equal to
      such future benefits at July 6, 1996. The Company's provision for income
      taxes for the nine month period ended April 5, 1997 reflects an income tax
      rate of 36% which represents the Company's expected income tax rate for
      the full 1997 fiscal year. In addition, the Company has recognized the
      benefit related to its net operating loss carryforward in the third
      quarter of fiscal 1997.

6.    On January 1, 1997, 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 April 5, 1997, the Company had recorded a $20.2 million receivable
      from the insurance company related to this claim representing $9.5 million
      for the cost of inventory damaged in the flood, $7.5 million of lost
      profit on orders that were that were lost due to the flood and $3.2
      million of other covered expenses. As of April 5, 1997 the Company had
      received $12.0 million from the insurance Company against such claim
      receivable.

7.    During the second quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company realized a gain of
      approximately $3 million from the sale of certain barter assets to the
      issuing barter company. The barter assets had an original face value of
      $12.3 million of which approximately $2.8 million had been utilized by the
      Company through December 1996 and an adjusted net book value of
      approximately $5.5 million. The Company received $8.5 million from the
      sale. The sale of the barter asset was negotiated by certain officers and
      directors of the Company who also serve as officers and directors of
      Warnaco.

8.    In fiscal 1996, the Company discussed with its auditors certain weaknesses
      in the Company's internal accounting and control procedures primarily
      related to the timely analysis of balance sheet and income statement
      accounts in connection with the preparation of interim financial
      statements and specifically the valuation and adjustment of inventory and
      other account balances. These items involved the allocation of overhead
      costs to inventory, the valuation of certain prior and current season
      inventory, certain book to physical inventory adjustments and the interim
      analysis of certain accrual, prepaid and reserve accounts.

      Commencing in 1996, the Company effected improvements in its internal
      accounting controls and procedures by improving its inventory
      monitoring systems and controls including the development of a cycle count
      program for its raw material and trim inventory, implementing supplemental
      procedures to review and adjust interim balance sheets and income
      statements and by appointing additional financial and accounting
      personnel. In addition, the Company has effected certain structural
      changes in its business and operations which the Company believes
      eliminates certain inventory control issues including subcontracting
      substantially all manufacturing and production control functions,
      closing its Company-owned outlet stores and exiting the skiwear business.
      The Company believes that these systems improvements, personnel changes
      and structural changes have significantly enhanced the Company's internal
      control structure and operations.

9.    On  May  9th  1997,  the  Company's  Board  of  Directors  authorized the
      repurchase of up to $10.0 million of the Company's Common Stock.

      Net revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 increased 6.2% to $105.0
million from $98.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1996. Net revenues for
the third quarter of fiscal 1997 were negatively impacted by approximately
$15.5 million reflecting orders cancelled due to the previously announced flood
and consequent lost shipping in January. Adjusting for the impact of the
flood, net revenues would have increased over 21% compared to last year. Speedo
Division net revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 were $56.3 million,
10.5% ahead of last year's net revenues of $51.0 million. Adjusting for
the lost shipments related to the flood, net revenues for the Speedo Division
would have increased over 40% in fiscal 1997 compared to fiscal 1996.
Designer swimwear division net revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 1997
were $34.3 million, 14.2% ahead of last year of $30.0 million. Net revenues
for the Authentic Fitness Retail Stores for the third quarter of fiscal
1997 increased 26.6% to $10.5 million from $8.3 million in the third quarter of
fiscal 1996. The Company currently has 146 stores, an increase of 42 stores
since the end of fiscal 1996. Net revenues for the first nine months of fiscal
1997 were $214.1 million a decrease of 2.3% from $219.1 million reported in the
first nine months of fiscal 1996. The decrease in net revenues for the first
nine months of fiscal 1997 compared to fiscal 1996 is primarily attributable the
loss of revenue due to the flood of approximately $24.1 million, discontinuance
of the outlet store and skiwear businesses of approximately $7.0 million and the
loss of net revenues attributable to Herman's of $4.6 million. Adjusting net
revenues for the discontinued operations and the flood, net revenues would have
increased approximately 10.4% in the first nine months of fiscal 1997 compared
to fiscal 1996.

      Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 increased 54.1% to $46.6
million from the $30.2 million reported in the third quarter of fiscal 1996.
Gross profit for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 increased to $84.4 million
from $71.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 1996. Gross profit as a
percentage of net revenues (after adjusting for the flood ) was 41.9% in the
third quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to 38.0% (before charges) in the third
quarter of fiscal 1996. The increase reflects strong regular

price selling and the positive impact of discontinuing the outlet store and
skiwear businesses. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues for the first
nine months of fiscal 1997 was 39.4%,compared to 32.4% for the same period of
fiscal 1996.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $25.2 million
(24.0% of net revenues) in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 from $33.7 million
(34.0% of net revenues) in the third quarter of fiscal 1996. Selling, general
and administrative expenses decreased to $63.7 million (29.7% of net revenues)
in the first nine months of fiscal 1997 from $68.1 million (31.0% of net
revenues) in the first nine months of fiscal 1996. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal
1996 includes an $11.7 million bad debt write off related to the Herman's
bankruptcy. Selling, general and administrative expenses before the impact of
the Herman's bankruptcy for fiscal 1996 were $22.0 million and $51.7 million for
the quarter and nine months, respectively. The increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to fiscal
1996 reflects the impact of opening over 40 additional Authentic Fitness Retail
Stores since the end of the third quarter of fiscal 1996. The increase in
selling, general and administrative expenses for the first nine months of
fiscal 1997 compared to fiscal 1996 reflects approximately $3.6 million of
additional advertising expenses incurred in the first half 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 $0.8 million and severance costs of $1.3 million related to a
reduction in force that is expected to save the Company approximately $3 million
per year.

      Income (loss) before interest and income taxes was $17.9 million in the
third quarter of fiscal 1997 an increase of $24.7 million compared to the loss
of $6.8 million reported in fiscal 1996. Income (loss) before interest and
income taxes for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 was $11.0 million compared
to a loss of $5.4 million in the comparable fiscal 1996 period. The increase in
income before interest and income taxes in fiscal 1997 compared to fiscal 1996
reflects the increased gross profit and lower selling, general and
administrative expenses, as noted above.

      Interest expense was $3.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1997
compared to $3.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1996. Interest expense
for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 was $9.7 million compared to $8.3
million in the first nine months of fiscal 1996. The increase in interest
expense compared to last year for both the quarter and the first nine months
resulted primarily from borrowing to support the expansion of the Company's
Authentic Fitness Retail Stores and the increase in the interest rate of the
Company's outstanding borrowings.

      The Company did not record an income tax provision or benefit for the
first six months of fiscal 1997. The Company's provision for income taxes for
the nine months period ended April 5, 1997 reflects an income tax rate of 36%
which represents the Company's expected income tax rate for the full 1997 fiscal

                                        8

year.  The Company  recognized benefit  related to its net  operating  loss
carryforward in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 of approximately $3.0 million.

      Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 was $13.9 million compared
to a net loss of $5.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1996. Net income
for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 was $7.0 million compared to a net loss
of $4.6 million in fiscal 1996. The improved net income reflects the higher
gross profit and lower selling, general and administrative expenses, 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 $0.0125 per share, equivalent to an annual rate of $0.05 per
share. The Company has since declared seven successive quarterly cash dividends
of $0.0125 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 is for 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 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 May 15,
1997 was approximately $103 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 Authentic Fitness 
retail stores. The Company currently has 146 stores open. 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 rapid roll-out of the Authentic Fitness
Retail Stores.

      Net cash used in operating activities was $12.6 million in the first nine
months of fiscal 1997 compared to a use of $71.7 million in the first nine
months of fiscal 1996. The improvement in cash flow from operations reflects
improved working capital usage, primarily prepaid expenses and accounts payable.
The improvement in prepaid expenses reflects the increased spending last year
leading up to the Olympic Games. The improvement in accounts payable and accrued
liabilities reflects the timing of certain payments for goods purchased
offshore.

                                        9

      Cash used in investing activities for the first nine months of fiscal 1997
was $21.6 million compared to $14.9 million in fiscal 1996. Capital expenditures
were $15.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 1997 compared to $13.3
million in the first nine 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 $33.7 million in the first nine
months of fiscal 1997 compared to $87.1 million in the first nine months of
fiscal 1996. Total debt increased by $39.4 million in the first nine months of
fiscal 1997 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 $51.7 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.

      In fiscal 1996, the Company discussed with its auditors certain weaknesses
in the Company's internal accounting and control procedures primarily related to
the timely analysis of balance sheet and income statement accounts in connection
with the preparation of interim financial statements and specifically the
valuation and adjustment of inventory and other account balances. These items
involved the allocation of overhead costs to inventory, the valuation of certain
prior and current season inventory, certain book to physical inventory
adjustments and the interim analysis of certain accrual, prepaid and reserve
accounts.

      Commencing in 1996, the Company effected improvements in its internal
controls and procedures by improving its inventory monitoring systems
and controls including the development of a cycle count program for its raw
material and trim inventory, implementing supplemental procedures to review
and adjust interim balance sheets and income statements and by appointing
additional financial and accounting personnel. In addition, the Company has
effected certain structural changes in its business and operations which the
Company believes eliminate certain inventory control issues including
subcontracting substantially all manufacturing and production control functions
and closing its company-owned outlet stores and exiting the skiwear business.
The Company believes that these systems improvements, personnel changes and
structural changes have significantly enhanced the Company's internal control
structure and operations.
