PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Introduction. Salant Corporation ("Salant"), which was incorporated in Delaware
in 1987, is the successor to a business founded in 1893 and incorporated in New
York in 1919. Salant designs, manufactures, imports and markets to retailers
throughout the United States brand name and private label apparel products
primarily in three product categories: (i) menswear; (ii) children's sleepwear
and underwear; and (iii) other products, as described below. Salant sells its
products to department and specialty stores, national chains, major discounters
and mass volume retailers throughout the United States. (As used herein, the
"Company" includes Salant and its subsidiaries, but excludes Salant's Vera Scarf
division.)
Men's Apparel. The men's apparel business is comprised principally of the Perry
Ellis, Texas Apparel, Thomson, Manhattan Apparel, Accessories, Fashion Shirt and
JJ. Farmer divisions. The Perry Ellis division markets dress shirts and
sportswear under the PERRY ELLIS, PORTFOLIO BY PERRY ELLIS and PERRY ELLIS
AMERICA trademarks. The Texas Apparel division markets men's and boy's jeans
under Sears, Roebuck & Co.'s ("Sears") CANYON RIVER BLUES trademark, various
other private labels and under the PERRY ELLIS AMERICA trademark. The Thomson
division markets slacks primarily under the THOMSON and PERRY ELLIS trademarks
and under various private labels. The Manhattan Apparel division markets dress
shirts and sportswear under the MANHATTAN trademark as well as sportswear under
private label. The Accessories division markets neckwear, belts and suspenders
and the Fashion Shirt division markets dress shirts under a number of different
trademarks, primarily JOHN HENRY. The JJ. Farmer division markets collection
sportswear under the JJ.
FARMER trademark.
Children's Sleepwear and Underwear. The children's sleepwear and underwear
business is conducted by the Company's Children's Apparel Group (the "Children's
Group"). The Children's Group markets licensed character blanket sleepers
primarily using a number of well-known, licensed cartoon characters, such as the
various DISNEY characters. The Children's Group also markets pajamas under the
OSHKOSH B'GOSH trademark, and sleepwear and underwear under the JOE BOXER
trademark.
Other Businesses. The other businesses of the Company consist of (i) the women's
junior apparel business, conducted by the Company's Made in The Shade division
("Made In the Shade") and (ii) a chain of factory outlet stores (the "Stores
division"), through which the Company sells its own products and those of other
apparel manufacturers.
Licensing Income. The Company receives royalty income from the licensing
of certain of its owned trademarks to other manufacturers.
Principal Product Lines. The following table sets forth, for fiscal years 1995
through 1993, the percentage of the Company's total net sales contributed by
each category of product:
Fiscal Year
1995 1994 1993
Men's Apparel 85% 82% 80%
Children's Sleepwear and Underwear 8% 8% 10%
Other Businesses 7% 10% 10%
For more detailed information regarding the Company's product categories see
Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Approximately 12% of the Company's net sales in the year ended December 30, 1995
were made to Federated Department Stores, Inc. ("Federated"), which includes all
1995 net sales to Macy's Department Stores ("Macy's"), which was acquired by
Federated in 1994, and the Broadway Stores, Inc. ("Broadway"), which was
acquired by Federated in February 1996. In 1994 and 1993, net sales to a
combined Federated/Macy's and Broadway would have represented approximately 15%
and 12% of the Company's net sales, respectively. In 1995, approximately 11% of
the Company's net sales were made to TJX Corporation ("TJX"), which includes all
1995 net sales to Marshall's Corporation ("Marshall's"), which was acquired by
TJX in February 1996. In 1994 and 1993, net sales to a combined TJX/Marshall's
would have represented approximately 11% and 12% of the Company's net sales,
respectively. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's net
sales during 1995, 1994 or 1993.
In 1995, approximately 13% of the Children's Group's net sales were made to
various divisions of the Dayton Hudson Corporation. In addition, approximately
16% of the Children's Group net sales were equally divided between two
customers: JC Penney Company and WalMart Stores, Inc. In 1995, approximately 19%
of the net sales of Other Businesses were made to JC Penney Company.
The markets in which the Company operates are highly competitive. The Company
competes primarily on the basis of brand recognition, quality, fashion, price
and customer service.
A significant factor in the marketing of the Company's products is the consumer
perception of the trademark or brand name under which those products are
marketed. Approximately 73% of the Company's net sales for 1995 was attributable
to products sold under Company owned or licensed designer trademarks and other
internationally recognized brand names and the balance was attributable to
products sold under retailers' private labels. The following table lists the
principal owned or licensed trademarks under which the Company's products were
sold in 1995 and the product lines associated with those trademarks. Trademarks
used under license are indicated with an asterisk; all other listed trademarks
are owned by the Company.

During 1995, approximately 31% of the Company's net sales was attributable to
products sold under the PERRY ELLIS, PORTFOLIO BY PERRY ELLIS and PERRY ELLIS
AMERICA trademarks; these products are sold through leading department and
specialty stores. Products sold under the MANHATTAN label accounted for
approximately 10% of the Company's net sales during 1995; these products are
marketed primarily through mass volume retailers. Products sold under the JOHN
HENRY label accounted for approximately 8% of the Company's net sales during
1995; these products are marketed primarily through department and specialty
stores. Products sold to Sears under its exclusive brand CANYON RIVER BLUES
accounted for 8% of the Company's net sales during 1995. Products sold under the
THOMSON label accounted for approximately 5% of the Company's net sales during
1995; these products are sold primarily through department and specialty stores.
No other line of products accounted for more than 5% of the Company's net sales
during 1995.
Trademarks Owned by the Company and Related Licensing Income. The Company
owns the DR. DENTON, JJ. FARMER, JOHN HENRY, LADY MANHATTAN,
MADE IN THE SHADE, MANHATTAN and THOMSON trademarks, among others.
All of the significant brand names owned by the Company have been
registered or are pending registration with the United States Patent
and Trademark Office.
The Company has sought to capitalize on consumer recognition of and interest in
its trademarks by licensing various of those trademarks to others. As of the end
of 1995, licenses were outstanding to approximately 63 licensees to make or sell
apparel products and accessories in the United States and to 36 licensees in 28
other countries under the MANHATTAN, LADY MANHATTAN, JOHN HENRY and VERA
trademarks, which produced royalty income of approximately $6.6 million in 1995.
Products under license include men's activewear, dress shirts, gloves, hats,
leather accessories, neckwear, optical frames, outerwear, pajamas, robes,
scarves, slacks, socks, sportcoats, sportshirts, sunglasses, sweaters, swimwear
and underwear, and women's blouses and tops, handbags, intimate apparel,
lingerie, optical frames, pants, scarves, shirts and socks.
Trademarks Licensed to the Company. The name Perry Ellis and related trademarks
are licensed to the Company under a series of license agreements with Perry
Ellis International, Inc. ("PEI"). The license agreements contain renewal
options which, subject to compliance with certain conditions contained therein,
permit the Company to extend the terms of such license agreements. Assuming the
exercise by the Company of all available renewal options, the license agreements
covering men's apparel and accessories will expire on December 31, 2015. The
Company also has rights of first refusal worldwide for any new licenses granted
by PEI for men's apparel and accessories.
The Company is also a licensee of various trademarks, including BATMAN, GANT,
LIBERTY OF LONDON, NINO CERRUTI, OSH KOSH B'GOSH, PEANUTS, RON CHERESKIN, SALTY
DOG, SAVE THE CHILDREN, WORLD WILDLIFE FUND, certain DISNEY characters, POWER
RANGERS, JOE BOXER and UNICEF, for various categories of products under license
agreements expiring between 1996 and 2003.
The agreements under which the Company is licensed to use trademarks owned by
others typically provide for royalties at varying percentages of net sales under
the licensed trademark, subject to a minimum annual royalty payable irrespective
of the level of net sales. The Company anticipates that it will be able to
extend, if it so desires, the term of any material licenses when they expire.
Design and Manufacturing. Products sold by the Company's various divisions are
manufactured to the designs and specifications (including fabric selections) of
designers employed by those divisions. In limited cases, the Company's designers
may receive input from one or more of the Company's licensors on general themes
or color palettes.
During 1995, approximately 18% of the products produced by the Company (measured
in units) were manufactured in the United States, with the balance manufactured
in foreign countries. Facilities operated by the Company accounted for
approximately 78% of its domestic-made products and 26% of its foreign-made
products; the balance in each case was attributable to unaffiliated contract
manufacturers. In 1995, approximately 42% of the Company's foreign production
was manufactured in Mexico, approximately 12% was manufactured in the Dominican
Republic and approximately 11% was manufactured in Guatemala.
The Company's foreign sourcing operations are subject to various risks of doing
business abroad, including currency fluctuations (although the predominant
currency used is the U. S. dollar), quotas and, in certain parts of the world,
political instability. Although the Company's operations have not been
materially adversely affected by any of such factors to date, any substantial
disruption of its relationships with its foreign suppliers could adversely
affect its operations. Some of the Company's imported merchandise is subject to
United States Customs duties. In addition, bilateral agreements between the
major exporting countries and the United States impose quotas, which limit the
amounts of certain categories of merchandise that may be imported into the
United States. Any material increase in duty levels, material decrease in quota
levels or material decrease in available quota allocations could adversely
affect the Company's operations.
As discussed in Item 2. Properties, the Company has manufacturing facilities
located in Mexico. The adoption of the North American Free Trade Agreement
(NAFTA) has benefited the Company by (i) reducing and/or eliminating United
States Customs duties on merchandise manufactured in the Company's leased
facilities in Mexico, (ii) eliminating quotas on this merchandise, and (iii)
eliminating restrictions on the export of merchandise from the United States for
sale in both Mexico and Canada. Also, the devaluation in 1995 of the Mexican
peso against the U.S. dollar benefited the Company as a result of employees
being paid in Mexican pesos which the Company purchases with U.S. dollars.
However, the benefit of the devaluation (gross amount of $5.0 million) was
offset by increased expenses relating to the devaluation in Mexico; the
estimated net benefit was $2.5 million.
Raw Materials. The raw materials used in the Company's manufacturing operations
consist principally of finished fabrics made from natural, synthetic and blended
fibers. These fabrics and other materials, such as leathers used in the
manufacture of various accessories, are purchased from a variety of sources both
within and outside the United States. The Company believes that adequate sources
of supply at acceptable price levels are available for all such materials.
Substantially all of the Company's foreign purchases are denominated in U.S.
currency. No single supplier accounted for more than 10% of Salant's raw
material purchases during 1995. The Company has not engaged in financial
activities through the use of derivatives or otherwise to hedge or diminish
currency risks or fluctuations.
Seasonality of Business. Although the Company typically introduces and withdraws
various individual products throughout the year, the Company's principal
products are organized into seasonal lines for resale at the retail level during
the spring, fall and Christmas seasons. The Company's products are designed as
much as one year in advance and manufactured approximately one season in advance
of the related retail selling season.
Backlog of Orders. The Company does not consider the amount of its backlog of
orders to be significant to an understanding of its business primarily due to
increased utilization of EDI technology, which provides for the electronic
transmission of orders from customers' computers to the Company's computers. As
a result, orders are placed closer to the required delivery date than had been
the case prior to EDI technology. As of March 2, 1996, the Company's backlog of
orders was approximately $114 million, 17% less than the backlog of orders of
approximately $137 million that existed as of March 4, 1995. This decrease is
primarily related to a planned shift in the focus of sales of men's slacks, away
from branded and private label sales and toward sales under the PERRY ELLIS
trademark.
Employees. As of the end of 1995, the Company employed approximately 4,200
persons, of whom 3,600 were engaged in manufacturing and distribution operations
and the remainder were employed in executive, marketing and sales, product
design, engineering and purchasing activities and in the operation of the
Company's factory outlet stores. Certain manufacturing employees are covered by
collective bargaining agreements with various unions, which expire between
August 31, 1996 and November 30, 1997. The Company believes that its relations
with its employees are satisfactory.
Competition. The apparel industry in the United States is highly competitive and
characterized by a relatively small number of multi-line manufacturers (such as
the Company) and a larger number of specialty manufacturers. The Company faces
substantial competition in its markets from manufacturers in both categories.
Many of the Company's competitors have greater financial resources than the
Company. The Company seeks to maintain its competitive position in the markets
for its branded products on the basis of the strong brand recognition associated
with those products and, with respect to all of its products, on the basis of
styling, quality, fashion, price and customer service.
Environmental Regulations. Current environmental regulations have not had, and
in the opinion of the Company, assuming the continuation of present conditions,
will not have a material effect on the business, capital expenditures, earnings
or competitive position of the Company.
Bankruptcy Court Cases. On June 27, 1990 (the "Filing Date"), Salant and its
wholly owned subsidiary, Denton Mills, Inc. ("Denton Mills"), each filed with
the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the
"Bankruptcy Court") a separate voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of
title 11 of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") (Case Nos. 90-B-12037
(CB) and 90-B-12038 (CB)) (the "Chapter 11 Cases"). The Company's other United
States subsidiaries on the Filing Date did not seek relief under the Bankruptcy
Code. On July 30, 1993, the Bankruptcy Court issued an order confirming the
Third Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of Salant and Denton Mills (the
"Reorganization Plan"). The Reorganization Plan was consummated on September 20,
1993 (the "Consummation Date"), as further described in Item 3. Legal
Proceedings and in Note 18 to the financial statements.
Vera Scarf Division - Discontinued Operation. In February 1995, the Company
discontinued its Vera Scarf division, which imported and marketed women's
scarves under (i) the Company-owned trademarks VERA and ACUTE, (ii) trademarks
licensed to the Company, including PERRY ELLIS, and (iii) retailers' private
labels. The Company closed the Vera Scarf division in 1995. The financial
statements of the Company included in this report treat the Vera Scarf division
as a discontinued operation.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company's principal executive offices are located at 1114 Avenue of the
Americas, New York, New York 10036. The Company's principal properties consist
of six domestic manufacturing facilities located in Alabama, Georgia (2), New
York, Tennessee and Texas, four manufacturing facilities located in Mexico, and
six distribution centers located in Georgia, New York, South Carolina (2) and
Texas (2). The Company owns approximately 1,279,000 square feet of space devoted
to manufacturing and distribution and leases approximately 570,000 square feet
of such space. The Company owns approximately 34,000 square feet of combined
office, design and showroom space and leases approximately 172,000 square feet
of such space. The Children's Group has exclusive use of the Tennessee
manufacturing facility, shares one of the Mexican manufacturing facilities with
the Texas Apparel division and has its distribution center in a building in
Texas which it shares with the Texas Apparel division. As of the end of 1995,
the Company's Stores division operated 71 factory outlet stores, comprising
approximately 214,000 square feet of selling space, all of which are leased.
Except as noted above, substantially all of the owned and leased property of the
Company is used in connection with its men's apparel business or general
corporate administrative functions.
The Company believes that its plant and equipment are adequately maintained, in
good operating condition, and are adequate for the Company's present needs.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
(a) Chapter 11 Cases. On June 27, 1990, Salant and Denton Mills each filed with
the Bankruptcy Court a separate voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11
of the Bankruptcy Code. On July 30, 1993, the Bankruptcy Court issued an order
confirming the debtors' Reorganization Plan.
The Reorganization Plan was consummated on September 20, 1993. From that date
through December 30, 1995 (approximately 27 months), the Company made cash
payments of $8.8 million, issued $111.9 million of new 10-1/2% senior secured
notes, and issued 10.9 million shares of common stock in settlement of certain
undisputed and disputed claims in the chapter 11 proceedings. Salant anticipates
that an additional $4.8 million in cash and an additional 376 thousand shares of
common stock may ultimately be distributed in connection with the resolution of
all remaining claims. Provisions for such distributions had previously been made
in the consolidated financial statements at the time of emergence from the
bankruptcy during the year ended January 1, 1994. The process of resolving
claims is continuing and, pursuant to the Reorganization Plan, remains under the
jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court.
(b) Other. The Company is a defendant in several other legal actions. In the
opinion of the Company's management, based upon the advice of the respective
attorneys handling such cases, such actions will not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of
operations.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
During the fourth quarter of 1995, no matter was submitted to a vote of security
holders of Salant by means of the solicitation of proxies or otherwise.
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS
Salant's Common Stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE")
under the trading symbol SLT.
The high and low sale prices per share of Common Stock (based upon the NYSE
composite tape as reported in published financial sources) for each quarter of
1995 and 1994 are set forth below. The Company did not declare or pay any
dividends during such years. Both (i) the indenture governing Salant's 10-1/2%
Senior Secured Notes due December 31, 1998 (the "Senior Notes"), and (ii) the
revolving credit, factoring and security agreement, dated September 20, 1993
(the "Credit Agreement"), with the CIT Group/Commercial Services, Inc. require
the satisfaction of certain net worth tests prior to the payment of any cash
dividends by Salant. As of December 30, 1995, Salant was prohibited from paying
cash dividends by the most restrictive of these provisions.

Company owned of record by others to satisfy local laws) of record by the
Company.

obligations and (iv) an accrual for payment pursuant to a severance agreement
with the previous chief executive officer of Salant, (b) the write-off of
certain intangible and other assets of $6,587 ($1.90 per share; tax benefit not
available) and (c) management fee income of $1,962 ($0.57 per share) as a result
of a settlement of certain litigation.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of the consolidated results of operations
and financial condition should be read in conjunction with the accompanying
Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes to provide additional
information concerning the financial activities and condition of Salant
Corporation ("Salant") and its subsidiary companies (collectively, the
"Company").
Results of Operations
The following discussion compares the operating results of the Company for the
year ended December 30, 1995 with the operating results for the years ended
December 31, 1994 and January 1, 1994. In February 1995, the Company
discontinued its Vera Scarf division. The financial statements included in this
Annual Report, consistent with the 1994 Annual Report, treat the Vera Scarf
division as a discontinued operation, the effect of which is to exclude the
results of operations of the Vera Scarf division from the Company's results from
continuing operations for each year presented. See Note 17 of the Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements. As announced in March 1994, the Company
determined to retain and continue to operate its Children's Apparel Group.
Consequently, the Company's financial statements for all periods presented
include the results of operations of that division.

1995 1994 1994
Net sales $501.5 $419.3 $402.1

Fiscal 1995 Compared with Fiscal 1994
For the 1995 fiscal year, net sales amounted to $501.5 million, a 19.6% increase
over net sales of $419.3 million in fiscal year 1994. The increase was primarily
attributable to significant sales increases in the men's apparel business.
(dollars in millions)
Net sales and percentage of total Percentage
for the year ended Increase/
December 30, 1995 December 31, 1994 (Decrease)
Men's Apparel $423.9 85% $343.5 82% 23.4%
Children's Sleepwear and Underwear 39.9 8% 35.5 8% 12.5%
Other Businesses (a) 37.7 7% 40.3 10% (6.5%)
Total $501.5 100% $419.3 100% 19.6%
(a) Includes the Made in the Shade division (a women's junior sportswear
business) and the Stores division.
Net sales of men's apparel increased $80.4 million, or 23.4%. This increase was
primarily attributable to (a) the introduction of Canyon River Blues, an
exclusive brand program for Sears, Roebuck & Co., which accounted for $41.7
million of the increase, (b) the growth of the Company's Perry Ellis sportswear
business, which increased $18.2 million, or 30.1%, in 1995, (c) an increase in
the Company's dress shirt sales of $11.2 million, or 8.8%, in 1995, and (d) an
increase in sportswear sales by the Manhattan Sportswear division of $6.0
million, or 39.3%, in 1995. Excluding dress shirt net sales under the GANT
label, which was licensed in June 1994, the Company's dress shirt net sales
increased 7.4% in 1995.
Net sales of Children's sleepwear and underwear increased $4.4 million, or
12.5%, in 1995. This increase was primarily a result of the expansion of the JOE
BOXER product line, which began shipping in 1994.
Net sales of the other businesses decreased $2.6 million, or 6.5%, in 1995,
primarily as a result of lower shipments by the Made in the Shade division due
to the lack of orders at acceptable margins.
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 20.7% in 1995 from 22.2%
in 1994. The reduction in gross profit as a percentage of net sales was
primarily a result of continuing pressure on selling prices in all product
categories and at all levels of distribution which are, in large part, a result
of the slow retail economy. In addition, certain businesses entered into and
expanded in 1995 (Canyon River Blues and Manhattan Sportswear) yield a lower
gross margin than traditionally earned by the Company's merchandise.
The Company's gross margin was also negatively affected by higher than expected
costs associated with the start-up of the Canyon River Blues program which are
not anticipated to continue in 1996.

Gross profit and gross margin

December 30, 1995 December 31, 1994
Men's Apparel $79.1 18.7% $70.9 20.6%
Children's Sleepwear and Underwear 10.8 26.9% 7.9 22.2%
Other Businesses (a) 14.0 37.1% 14.4 35.7%
Total $103.9 20.7% $ 93.2 22.2%
(a) Includes the Made in the Shade division (a women's junior sportswear
business) and the Stores division.
Selling, general and administrative ("S,G&A") expenses for 1995 amounted to
$85.4 million, or 17.0% of net sales, as compared to $79.3 million, or 18.9% of
net sales, for 1994. The reduced S,G&A expenses as a percentage of net sales
relates, in part, to certain businesses entered into and expanded in 1995 (as
indicated above) which required minimal incremental expenses.
The provision for restructuring of $3.6 million related primarily to the planned
closing in 1996 of a manufacturing facility in Thomson, Georgia, as well as
certain expenses related to the discontinuation of several dress shirt lines,
including Liberty of London, Nino Cerruti and Ron Chereskin. It is anticipated
that additional charges totalling approximately $1.5 to $2.0 million relating to
the closure in Thomson, Georgia will be incurred in 1996.
Income from continuing operations before interest, income taxes and
extraordinary gain as a percentage of net sales decreased to 3.8% in 1995 from
4.6% in 1994. This percentage reduction was primarily a result of the gross
margin decrease, S,G&A expense changes and the provision for restructuring as
discussed above.

(a) Includes the Made in the Shade division (a women's junior sportswear
business) and the Stores division.
Net interest expense for 1995 amounted to $19.4 million as compared to $15.6
million in the prior year, an increase of $3.8 million. Of this amount, $2.7
million was attributable to a higher average outstanding loan balance in 1995.
$1.1 million of this increase related to an increase in the weighted average
interest rate on borrowings from 7.8% in 1994 to 9.9% in 1995, of which the
majority related to an increase in the average prime rate.
The loss from continuing operations before extraordinary gain was $0.5 million,
or $0.03 per share, versus income from continuing operations before
extraordinary gain of $3.5 million, or $0.23 per share, a year earlier. At the
end of 1995, the Company had 15,102,000 weighted average common and common
equivalent shares outstanding versus 14,954,000 weighted average common shares
outstanding at the end of the prior year.
For 1994, the Company recognized a charge of $11.4 million, or $0.76 per share
for the discontinuance of the Vera Scarf division (inclusive of approximately
$300 thousand of losses incurred by the division in the first three quarters of
1994). The Vera Scarf division had net sales of $5.1 million in 1994.
In the fourth quarter of 1995, the Company recorded an extraordinary gain of $1
million related to the reversal of excess liabilities previously provided for
the anticipated settlement of claims arising from the chapter 11 proceeding.
As a result of the above, net income for 1995 was $0.5 million, or $0.03 per
share, compared with a net loss of $7.9 million, or
$0.53 per share in 1994.
As of December 30, 1995, there were 15,042,000 shares of the Company's common
stock outstanding. The weighted average number of common and common equivalent
shares outstanding for the 1995 fiscal year was 15,102,000, including 376,000
shares that the Company anticipates will be issued to creditors.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, restructuring
charges, discontinued operations and extraordinary gain was $30.5 million in
1995, compared to $27.0 million in 1994, an increase of $3.5 million, or 13.1%.
The Company believes this information is helpful in understanding cash flow from
operations that is available for debt service, taxes and capital expenditures.
This measure is not contained in Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and is
not a substitute for operating income, net income or net cash flows from
operating activities.
Inflation and Recent Legislation
Management believes that the rate of inflation over the past three years has not
had a material impact on Salant's operating results.
The adoption of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), enacted in
1993, has benefited the Company's business by (i) reducing and/or eliminating
United States Customs duties on merchandise manufactured in the Company's leased
facilities in Mexico, (ii) eliminating quotas on this merchandise, and (iii)
eliminating restrictions on the export of merchandise from the United States for
sale in both Mexico and Canada. Also, the devaluation of the Mexican peso
against the U.S. dollar throughout 1995 benefited the Company as a result of
employees being paid in Mexican pesos which the Company purchases with U.S.
dollars. However, the benefit of the devaluation (gross amount of $5.0 million)
was offset by increased expenses relating to the devaluation in Mexico; the
estimated net benefit was $2.5 million.
Fiscal 1994 Compared with Fiscal 1993
For the 1994 fiscal year, net sales amounted to $419.3 million, a 4.3% increase
over net sales of $402.1 million in fiscal year 1993. The increase was
attributable to significant sales increases in the men's apparel business
achieved by the Company's Perry Ellis, Thomson, Manhattan Apparel and JJ. Farmer
divisions. Manhattan Apparel commenced shipping men's sportswear in September
1993, and JJ. Farmer is a label which was acquired in June 1994. These increases
were partially offset by reductions in net sales of denim-based products and
men's accessories. Notwithstanding the popularity of the casualwear trend in
offices which contributed to a slight decrease in the overall dress shirt
market, the Company's dress shirt net sales increased slightly in 1994 as
compared to 1993. In 1994, the Company signed a new license agreement for dress
shirts to be produced and sold under the GANT label. This label accounted for
net sales of $2.8 million in 1994.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 22.2% ($93.2 million) in
1994 from 24.4% ($98.1 million) in 1993. The reduction in gross profit as a
percentage of net sales was incurred primarily in men's apparel. The cause of
the reduction was (a) continuing pressure on selling prices, (b) a change in the
Company's mix to lower priced sportswear, which carries a lower gross profit
margin, as a result of the introduction of Manhattan label sportswear late in
the third quarter of 1993, and (c) certain cost increases related to the
introduction of wrinkle-free dress shirts.

S,G&A expenses for 1994 amounted to $79.2 million, or 18.9% of net sales, as
compared to $73.9 million, or 18.4% of net sales, for 1993. The increase in
S,G&A expenses was primarily attributable to (a) costs of $2.2 million
associated with new product lines (JJ. Farmer which was acquired in June 1994
and Manhattan sportswear, which began shipping in September 1993) and (b)
payroll and occupancy costs of $1.3 million related to an increase in the number
of factory outlet stores in operation in 1994.
Royalty income in 1994 was $6.7 million. During 1993, royalty income was $8.0
million. The decrease in royalty income was primarily the result of the
termination of a significant license agreement in 1993, and the absence of the
related licensing revenue in 1994. The product for which royalties previously
were received became the basis of the Company's Manhattan Sportswear division,
which commenced shipping in the third quarter of 1993. The license for this
product had contributed income of $580 thousand in 1993.
In 1993, the Company recorded a $5.5 million provision for restructuring, which
included $5.0 million related to the restructuring of the Children's Apparel
Group.
Income from continuing operations before interest, income taxes and
extraordinary gain increased as a percentage of net sales from 3.9% in 1993 to
4.6% in 1994. This percentage increase was primarily as a result of the absence
of the provision for restructuring of $5.5 million and the bankruptcy
administration expenses of $8.9 million which were recorded in 1993, as offset
by the lower gross margins achieved in 1994, as discussed above.

Net interest expense for 1994 amounted to $15.6 million compared to $7.5 million
in the prior year. Until September 20, 1993, Salant was operating under chapter
11 of the Bankruptcy Code and, accordingly, was not accruing interest on its
prepetition debt.
Income from continuing operations before extraordinary gain was $3.5 million, or
$0.23 per share, compared to $7.8 million, or $1.10 per share, a year earlier.
At the end of 1994, the Company had 14,954,000 weighted average shares
outstanding versus 7,104,000 weighted average shares and share equivalents
outstanding at the end of the prior year. The increase in the number of shares
outstanding was related to the Company's emergence from bankruptcy in September
1993.
For 1994, the Company recognized a charge of $11.4 million, or $0.76 per share,
reflecting the discontinuance of the Vera Scarf division (inclusive of
approximately $300 thousand of losses incurred by the division in the first
three quarters of 1994). The Vera Scarf division had net sales of $5.1 million
in 1994.
For 1993, the Company recognized an extraordinary gain of $24.7 million, or
$3.48 per share, related to the Company's emergence from bankruptcy, a loss from
discontinued operations of $589,000, or $0.08 per share, and a reversal of
estimated loss on disposal of discontinued operations of $11.8 million, or $1.65
per share.
As a result of the above, the net loss for 1994 was $7.9 million,
or $0.53 per share, compared with net income of $43.7 million, or
$6.15 per share in 1993.
As of December 31, 1994, there were 14,218,000 shares of the Company's common
stock outstanding, including 10,504,000 shares issued to creditors in connection
with the Company's reorganization, consummated on September 20, 1993. The
weighted average number of shares outstanding for 1994 was 14,954,000 shares,
including 789,000 shares that the Company anticipated would be issued to
creditors.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, bankruptcy
administration expenses, restructuring charges, discontinued operations and
extraordinary gain was $27.0 million in 1994, compared to $37.8 million in 1993,
a decrease of $10.8 million, as described above. The Company believes that this
information is helpful in understanding cash flow from operations that is
available for debt service, taxes and capital expenditures. This measure is not
contained in Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and is not a substitute
for operating income, net income or net cash flows from operating activities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company entered into a revolving credit, factoring and security agreement,
as amended (the "Credit Agreement"), with The CIT Group/Commercial Services,
Inc. ("CIT"), to provide seasonal working capital financing, in the form of
direct borrowings and letters of credit, up to an aggregate of $135 million,
subject to an asset based borrowing formula (the "Maximum Credit"). On March 27,
1996, the Company and CIT executed the Seventh Amendment to the Credit Agreement
(the "Amendment"). The Amendment extends the term of the Credit Agreement to
March 31, 1997 and provides the Company with the ability to cease factoring at
September 20, 1996. The Amendment also increased the Maximum Credit to $135
million during certain periods of 1996, which was consistent with the Maximum
Credit provided in 1995. In addition, the Amendment also modified certain
financial covenants relating to working capital and stockholders' equity. In the
absence of the Amendment, Salant would not have been able to satisfy the
stockholders' equity covenant for its 1995 fiscal year. Interest on direct
borrowings is charged monthly at an annual rate of one percent in excess of the
base rate of Chemical Bank (the "Prime Rate") (which Prime Rate was 8.5% at
December 30, 1995). As collateral for borrowings under the Credit Agreement,
Salant has granted to CIT a security interest in substantially all of the assets
of the Company. At the end of 1995, direct borrowings and letters of credit
outstanding under the Credit Agreement were $14.4 million and $31.4 million,
respectively, and the Company had unused availability of $27.5 million. At the
end of 1994, direct borrowings and letters of credit outstanding under the
Credit Agreement were $23.9 million and $50.5 million, respectively, and the
Company had unused availability of $4.1 million.
In September 1993, the Company issued $111.9 million principal amount of 10 1/2%
Senior Secured Notes due December 31, 1998 (the "Secured Notes") in connection
with the consummation of its plan of reorganization, as referenced in Exhibit
4.3. In May 1994, the Company purchased and retired $3.6 million of the Secured
Notes in an open market transaction at a price below the principal amount
thereof.
The Credit Agreement and the indenture governing the Secured Notes contain
numerous financial and operating covenants, including restrictions on incurring
indebtedness and liens, making investments in or purchasing the stock of all or
a substantial part of the assets of another person, selling property, making
capital expenditures, and paying cash dividends. In addition, under the Credit
Agreement, the Company is required to maintain minimum levels of working capital
and stockholders' equity and to satisfy a ratio of total liabilities to
stockholders' equity, a fixed charge coverage ratio, and a maximum cumulative
net loss test. At December 30, 1995, the Company was in compliance with all
financial covenants as indicated below:
Covenant December 30, 1995
Credit Agreement Covenants Level (a) Actual Level
Working Capital $ 85.0 million $ 97.4 million
Stockholders' Equity $ 60.0 million $ 70.9 million
Liabilities/Equity less than 3.0 2.6
Fixed Charge Ratio greater than 1.5 1.6
Maximum Loss $(10.0) million positive income
(a) The covenant levels reflect all modifications in the Credit Agreement made
pursuant to the Amendment.
The Company is also required to reduce its indebtedness (excluding outstanding
letters of credit) to $20 million or less for fifteen consecutive days during
each twelve month period commencing February 1, 1994. The Company has complied
with this covenant for all periods through January 31, 1997.
At the end of 1995, the Company's short term borrowings were $9.5 million lower
than such borrowings at the end of 1994.
The Company's cash flow from operating activities (the Company's primary source
of cash) was $13.5 million. This represented a $36.5 million improvement over
1994 and was primarily a result of asset management improvements primarily
relating to inventory and accounts receivable. The lower inventory balances
resulted from supply and demand process improvements made during the year.
Cash used in 1995 for investing activities was $4.2 million, primarily related
to capital expenditures.
Cash used in financing activities in 1995 was $9.4 million, which represented
repayments of short-term borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Cash flow
generated from operations was used to make these repayments.
Capital expenditures in 1995 amounted to $4.3 million as compared to $4.9
million in 1994. Capital expenditures for 1996 are anticipated to be
approximately $7.7 million.
The Company's business is seasonal in nature. As a result, Salant's working
capital requirements increase significantly during the first three quarters of
each year.
Salant's principal sources of liquidity, both on a short-term and a long-term
basis, are provided by operations and borrowings under the Credit Agreement.
Based upon its analysis of its consolidated financial position, its cash flow
during the past twelve months, and its cash flow anticipated from future
operations, Salant believes that its future cash flow and the funds available
under the Credit Agreement will be adequate to meet the financing requirements
it anticipates in the next twelve months. There can be no assurance, however,
that future developments and general economic trends will not adversely affect
the Company's operations and, hence, its anticipated cash flow.
Effective in 1995, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits",
which requires the accrual method of accounting for certain of these benefits.
SFAS No. 112 was adopted as a result of the implementation of a formal short
term disability policy for employees. Prior to 1995, the Company recognized the
cost of providing these benefits on a cash basis.
SFAS No. 121 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may no longer be
recoverable. Adoption of SFAS No. 121, which is effective for years beginning
after December 15, 1995, is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company.
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". The standard encourages, but does not
require, companies to recognize compensation expense of grants for stock, stock
options and other equity instruments to employees based on fair value accounting
rules. SFAS No. 123 requires companies that choose not to adopt the new fair
value accounting rules to disclose pro forma net income and earnings per share
under the new method. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1995. The Company has not yet determined if it will adopt the
accounting provisions of SFAS No. 123 or only the disclosure provision. However,
the Company does not believe that adoption of SFAS No. 123 will have a
significant effect on its results of operations.
Factors that May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition.
The Company's future operating results and financial condition are dependent on
the Company's ability to successfully design, manufacture, import and market
apparel. Inherent in this process are many factors that the Company must
successfully manage in order to achieve favorable operating results and
financial condition including, without limitation, the following:
Competition. The apparel industry in the United States is highly competitive and
characterized by a relatively small number of multi-line manufacturers (such as
the Company) and a large number of specialty manufacturers. The Company faces
substantial competition in its markets from manufacturers in both categories.
Many of the Company's competitors have greater financial resources than the
Company.
Apparel Industry Cycles and other Economic Factors. The apparel industry
historically has been subject to substantial cyclical variation, with consumer
spending on apparel tending to decline during recessionary periods. A decline in
the general economy or uncertainties regarding future economic prospects may
affect consumer spending habits, which, in turn, could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's results of operations and its financial condition.
Retail Environment. Various retailers, including some of the Company's
customers, have experienced declines in revenue and profits in recent periods
and some have been forced to file for protection under the Bankruptcy Code. To
the extent that these financial difficulties continue, there can be no assurance
that the Company's financial condition and results of operations would not be
adversely affected.
Seasonality of Business and Fashion Risk. The Company's principal products are
organized into seasonal lines for resale at the retail level during the Spring,
Fall and Christmas Seasons. Typically, the Company's products are designed as
much as one year in advance and manufactured approximately one season in advance
of the related retail selling season. Accordingly, the success of the Company's
products is often dependent on the ability of the Company to successfully
anticipate the needs of the Company's retail customers and the tastes of the
ultimate consumer up to a year prior to the relevant selling season.
Substantial Level of Indebtedness. The Company had indebtedness of $124.5
million as of December 30, 1995. This level of indebtedness could adversely
affect the Company's operations because a substantial portion of the Company's
cash flow from operations must be dedicated to the payment of interest and
would, therefore, not be available for other purposes. Further, this level of
indebtedness might inhibit the Company's ability to obtain financing in the
future for working capital needs, capital expenditures, acquisitions,
investments, general corporate purposes or other purposes.
Foreign Operations. The Company's foreign sourcing operations are subject to
various risks of doing business abroad, including currency fluctuations
(although the predominant currency used is the U.S. dollar), quotas and, in
certain parts of the world, political instability. Any substantial disruption of
its relationship with its foreign suppliers could adversely affect the Company's
operations. Some of the Company's imported merchandise is subject to United
States Customs duties. In addition, bilateral agreements between the major
exporting countries and the United States impose quotas which limit the amount
of certain categories of merchandise that may be imported into the United
States. Any material increase in duty levels, material decrease in quota levels
or material decrease in available quota allocation could adversely affect the
Company's operations.
Dependence on Contract Manufacturing. The Company currently produces 64% of all
of its products (in units) through arrangements with independent contract
manufacturers. The use of such contractors and the resulting lack of direct
control could subject the Company to difficulty in obtaining timely delivery of
products of acceptable quality. In addition, as is customary in the industry,
the Company does not have any long-term contracts with its fabric suppliers or
product manufacturers. While the Company is not dependent on one particular
product manufacturer or fabric supplier, the loss of several such product
manufacturers and/or fabric suppliers in a given season could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's performance.
Because of the foregoing factors, as well as other factors affecting the
Company's operating results and financial condition, past financial performance
should not be considered to be a reliable indicator of future performance, and
investors are cautioned not to use historical trends to anticipate results or
trends in the future. In addition, the Company's participation in the highly
competitive apparel industry often results in significant volatility of the
Company's common stock price.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
Independent Auditors' Report
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Salant Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Salant
Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, and
the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders'
equity/deficiency and cash flows for the years ended December 30, 1995, December
31, 1994 and January 1, 1994. Our audits also included the financial statement
schedule listed in the index at Item 14(a)(2). These financial statements and
financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial statement schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Salant Corporation and subsidiaries as of
December 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, and the results of their operations and
their cash flows for the years ended December 30, 1995, December 31, 1994 and
January 1, 1994 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Also, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule, when considered in
relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole,
presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

SALANT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Amounts in Thousands of Dollars, Except Share and Per Share Data)
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Salant Corporation
("Salant") and subsidiaries. (As used herein, the "Company" includes Salant and
its subsidiaries but excludes Salant's Vera Scarf division.) In February 1995,
Salant discontinued its Vera Scarf division. As further described in Note 17,
the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto reflect the Vera
Scarf division as a discontinued operation, and the financial results of the
Vera Scarf division are not included in the presentation of income/(loss) from
continuing operations. In addition, the net liabilities of the discontinued Vera
Scarf division operations have been separately classified in the Consolidated
Balance Sheets. Significant intercompany balances and transactions are
eliminated in consolidation.
The Company's principal business is the designing, manufacturing, importing and
marketing of apparel. The Company sells its products to retailers, including
department and specialty stores, national chains, major discounters and mass
volume retailers, throughout the United States.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
On June 27, 1990 (the "Filing Date"), Salant and one of its subsidiaries, Denton
Mills, Inc. ("Denton Mills"), filed separate voluntary petitions for relief
under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code")
with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York
(the "Bankruptcy Court"). On July 30, 1993, the Bankruptcy Court issued an order
confirming the Third Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of Salant and Denton
Mills, Inc. (the "Reorganization Plan"). The Reorganization Plan was consummated
on September 20, 1993 (the "Consummation Date"), as further described in Note
18.
Fiscal Year
The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to December 31. The 1995,
1994 and 1993 fiscal years were each comprised of 52 weeks.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications were made to the 1994 and 1993 Consolidated Financial
Statements to conform with the 1995 presentation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers cash on hand and deposits in banks as cash and cash
equivalents for the purposes of the statements of cash flows.
Accounts Receivable
The Company has entered into an agreement with a factor, as further described in
Note 8, whereby it sells, without recourse, certain eligible accounts
receivable. The credit risk for such accounts is thereby transferred to the
factor. The amounts due from the factor have been offset against advances from
the factor in the accompanying balance sheets. The amounts which have been
offset were $33,792 at December 30, 1995 and $9,324 at December 31, 1994. This
increase in the amounts which have been offset results from a change in the
agreement with the factor.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (principally determined on a
first-in, first-out basis for apparel operations and the retail inventory method
on a first-in, first-out basis for outlet store operations) or market.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated or
amortized over their estimated useful lives, or for leasehold improvements, the
lease term, if shorter. Depreciation and amortization are computed principally
by the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and by accelerated
methods for income tax purposes.
The annual depreciation rates used are as follows:
Buildings and improvements 2.5% - 10.0%
Machinery, equipment and autos 6.7% - 33.3%
Furniture and fixtures 10.0% - 50.0%
Leasehold improvements Over the life of the asset or the term of the lease, whichever is
shorter
Other Assets
Intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their
respective useful lives. Costs in excess of fair value of net assets acquired,
which relate to the acquisition of the net assets of Manhattan Industries, Inc.
("Manhattan") and JJ. Farmer Clothing, Inc. are assessed for recoverability on
an annual basis. In evaluating the value and future benefits of these intangible
assets, their carrying value would be reduced by the excess, if any, of the
intangibles over management's best estimate of undiscounted future operating
income of the acquired businesses before amortization of the related intangible
assets over the remaining amortization period. Intangible assets are being
amortized over periods ranging from 7 1/2 to 40 years.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
For financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable and payable, and accruals, it was assumed that the carrying amount
approximated fair value because of their short maturity. Long-term debt, which
was issued at the market rate of interest, currently trades at approximately 85%
of the principal amount.
Income/(Loss) Per Share
Income/(loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares
(including, as of December 30, 1995, 375,889 shares anticipated to be issued
pursuant to the Reorganization Plan) and common stock equivalents outstanding,
if applicable. Loss per share for 1994 did not include common stock equivalents,
inasmuch as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized at the time the merchandise is shipped. Retail factory
outlet store revenues are recognized at the time of sale.
Accounting Changes
Effective in 1995, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits,"
which requires the accrual method of accounting for certain of these benefits.
SFAS No. 112 was adopted as a result of the implementation of a formal short
term disability policy for employees. Prior to 1995, the Company recognized the
cost of providing these benefits on a cash basis.
SFAS No. 121 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may no longer be
recoverable. Adoption of SFAS No. 121, which is effective for years beginning
after December 15, 1995, is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company.
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". The standard encourages, but does not
require, companies to recognize compensation expense of grants for stock, stock
options and other equity instruments to employees based on fair value accounting
rules. SFAS No. 123 requires companies that choose not to adopt the new fair
value accounting rules to disclose pro forma net income and earnings per share
under the new method. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1995. The Company has not yet determined if it will adopt the
accounting provisions of SFAS No. 123 or only the disclosure provision. However,
the Company does not believe that adoption of SFAS No. 123 will have a
significant effect on its results of operations.
Note 2. Restructuring Costs
In the fourth quarter of 1995, the Company recorded a $3,550 restructuring
provision, which included (i) fixed asset write-downs at locations to be closed
and (ii) inventory markdowns for discontinued product lines.
In the fourth quarter of 1993, the Company recorded a $5,500 restructuring
provision, of which $5,000 related to the restructuring of the Children's
Apparel Group, as more fully described in Note 19.
Note 3. Extraordinary Gain
In the fourth quarter of 1995, the Company recorded an extraordinary gain of
$1,000 related to the reversal of excess liabilities previously provided for the
anticipated settlement of claims arising from the chapter 11 proceeding.
In September 1993, the Company recorded an extraordinary gain of $24,707
consisting of (i) an extraordinary gain of $45,974 from the settlement and
anticipated settlement of claims arising from the chapter 11 proceeding for less
than their full amount and (ii) an extraordinary loss of $21,267 arising from
the settlement of accrued interest and fees in respect of the Company's secured
bank debt during the pendency of the Company's chapter 11 cases.

these agreements, the Company purchased inventory from the licensor, made
advance royalty payments to the licensor, and is required to make future minimum
royalty payments.

Other accrued liabilities 7,960 7,768
$ 20,397 $ 18,848
Note 8. Financing and Factoring Agreements
The Company entered into a revolving credit, factoring and security agreement,
as amended (the "Credit Agreement"), with The CIT Group/Commercial Services,
Inc. ("CIT") to provide seasonal working capital financing, including direct
borrowings and letters of credit, of up to $135,000, subject to an asset based
borrowing formula (the "Maximum Credit"). On March 27, 1996, the Company and CIT
executed the Seventh Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the "Amendment"). The
Amendment extends the term of the Credit Agreement to March 31, 1997 and
provides the Company with the ability to cease factoring at September 20, 1996.
The Amendment also increased the Maximum Credit to $135,000 during certain
periods of 1996, which was consistent with the Maximum Credit provided in 1995.
In addition, the Amendment also modified certain financial covenants relating to
working capital and stockholders' equity. In the absence of the Amendment,
Salant would not have been able to satisfy the stockholders' equity covenant for
its 1995 fiscal year. As of December 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, $27,500 and
$4,085, respectively, was available under this facility. Interest on direct
borrowings is charged monthly at an annual rate of one percent in excess of the
base rate of Chemical Bank (the "Prime Rate") (8.5% at December 30, 1995). As
collateral for borrowings under the Credit Agreement, the Company granted to CIT
a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company. As of
December 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, direct borrowings were $14,422 and
$23,906, respectively. As of December 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, letters of
credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement were $31,415 and $50,515,
respectively. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings under the Credit
Agreement for the years ended December 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994 was 9.9%
and 7.8%, respectively.
The Credit Agreement contains numerous financial and operating covenants,
including restrictions on incurring indebtedness and liens, making investments
in or purchasing the stock of all or a substantial part of the assets of another
person, selling property, incurring capital expenditures, and paying cash
dividends. In addition, the Company is required to maintain minimum levels of
working capital and stockholders' equity and to satisfy a ratio of total
liabilities to stockholders' equity, a fixed charge coverage ratio and a maximum
cumulative net loss test. At December 30, 1995, Salant was in compliance with
all financial covenants, as contained in the Credit Agreement.
Note 9. Long-Term Debt
On September 20, 1993, Salant issued $111,851 principal amount of 10 1/2% Senior
Secured Notes (the "Secured Notes") due December 31, 1998. The Secured Notes may
be redeemed at any time prior to maturity, in whole or in part, at the option of
the Company, at a premium to the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest.
The premium on redemption declines annually from 4.2% in 1996 to 2.1% in 1997
and to 0% in 1998. The Secured Notes are secured by a first lien (subordinated
to the lien securing borrowings under the Credit Agreement to the extent of
$15,000) on certain accounts receivable, certain intangible assets, the capital
stock of Salant's subsidiaries and certain real property of the Company, and by
a second lien on substantially all of the other assets of the Company.
The Secured Notes contain various restrictions pertaining to the incurrence of
indebtedness, the purchase of capital stock and the payment of dividends. Under
the most restrictive of these provisions, the Company currently may not purchase
or redeem any shares of its capital stock, or declare or pay cash dividends.
In May 1994, the Company purchased and retired $3,600 of the Secured Notes in an
open market transaction at a price below the principal amount thereof. As a
result of this transaction, the Company recorded an extraordinary gain of $63 in
1994.
Note 10. Segment Information and Significant Customers
The Company's principal business is the designing, manufacturing, importing and
marketing of apparel. The Company sells its products to retailers, including
department and specialty stores, national chains, major discounters and mass
volume retailers, throughout the United States. As an adjunct to its apparel
manufacturing operations, the Company operates 71 factory outlet stores in
various parts of the United States. Foreign operations are not significant.
These products have been classified in the following industry segments: (i)
men's apparel, (ii) children's sleepwear and underwear and (iii) other products,
consisting of women's junior apparel and retail factory outlet store operations.
Information concerning the Company's business segments in 1995, 1994 and 1993 is

Approximately 12% of the Company's net sales in the year ended December 30, 1995
were made to Federated Department Stores, Inc. ("Federated") which includes all
1995 net sales to The Broadway Stores, Inc., ("Broadway") which was acquired by
Federated in February 1996. In 1994 and 1993, net sales to Federated, including
all net sales to Broadway and to Macy's Department Stores ("Macy's"), which was
acquired by Federated in 1994, represented approximately 15% and 12% of the
Company's net sales, respectively. In 1995, approximately 11% of the Company's
net sales were made to TJX Corporation ("TJX"), which includes all 1995 net
sales to Marshall's Corporation ("Marshall's"), which was acquired by TJX in
February 1996. In 1994 and 1993, net sales to TJX, including all net sales to
Marshall's, represented approximately 11% and 12% of the Company's net sales,
respectively. In 1995, approximately 13% of the Children's Group's net sales
were made to various divisions of the Dayton Hudson Corporation. In addition, in
1995 approximately 16% of the Children's Group net sales were equally divided
between two customers: JC Penney Company and WalMart Stores, Inc. In 1995,
approximately 19% of the net sales of Other Businesses were made to JC Penney
Company. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's net
sales during 1995, 1994 or 1993.

The adoption of SFAS No. 109, as of January 3, 1993, had no cumulative effect on
earnings or effect on income tax expense for the year ended January 1, 1994, as
the Company recognized a net deferred tax asset of $64,364, offset in full by a
valuation allowance as of the date of adoption.
The tax effects of significant items comprising the Company's net deferred
tax asset consists of the following:
December 30, December 31,

At December 30, 1995, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs")
for income tax purposes of approximately $105,000, which can be used to offset
future taxable income, expiring from 1999 to the year 2008. Approximately
$51,000, which arose from the acquisition of Manhattan in April 1988, will
offset goodwill when utilized. The implementation of the Reorganization Plan and
transactions that have occurred within the three-year period preceding the
consummation of the Reorganization Plan have caused an "ownership change" for
federal income tax purposes as of the date the Reorganization Plan was
consummated. As a result of such ownership change, the use of the NOLs to offset
future taxable income has been limited by the requirements of section 382 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The annual limit under section 382 is
approximately $7,200 over a fifteen year carryover period. Upon consummation of
the Reorganization Plan, the Company realized cancellation of indebtedness
income of approximately $917 and the NOLs have been reduced or limited
accordingly.
In addition, at December 30, 1995, the Company had available investment tax and
other credits of $3,092 which expire between 1996 and 1999, of which $1,986 will
reduce goodwill and the balance will reduce income tax expense when utilized.
Utilization of these credits may be limited in the same manner as the NOLs, as
described above.
On the Filing Date, the Internal Revenue Service of the United States of America
(the "IRS") was in the process of examining the tax returns of Manhattan for the
years ended January 31, 1982 through January 31, 1986 and January 31, 1988. By
proof of claim, as amended, the IRS had asserted a claim (the "IRS Claim")
against Salant of approximately $5,200. The IRS Claim included approximately
$3,200 of Excise Taxes. Pursuant to an interim agreement and formal written
agreement, which was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on May 26, 1995, Salant
will pay $100 to the IRS in full settlement of such Excise Tax claims. The
balance of the IRS Claim sought the payment of (i) income taxes that were
claimed to be owing for prior tax periods; (ii) withholding and FICA taxes for
the tax period ended March 31, 1990; (iii) interest and penalties with respect
to those taxes; and (iv) FUTA taxes for the period from January 1 through June
27, 1990. On September 25, 1995, Salant and the IRS executed a final agreement
relating to such non-Excise Taxes. Pursuant to this agreement, the IRS Claim was
withdrawn, and the IRS will pay Salant a net refund of approximately $875, plus
net interest from June 1, 1995.
Note 12. Employee Benefit Plans
Pension and Retirement Plans
The Company has several defined benefit plans for virtually all full-time
salaried employees and certain nonunion hourly employees. The Company's funding
policy for its plans is to fund the minimum annual contribution required by
applicable regulations.
The Company also has a nonqualified supplemental retirement and death benefit
plan covering certain employees. The funding for this plan is based on premium
costs of related insurance contracts.
Pension expense includes the following components:
1995 1994 1993
Service cost-benefit earned
during the period $ 1,029 $ 1,125 $ 1,183
Interest cost on projected benefit obligation 2,714 2,626 2,555
Loss/(return) on assets (4,697) 1,331 (2,008)
Net amortization 2,286 (3,437) 169
Net periodic pension cost $ 1,332 $ 1,645 $ 1,899
The reconciliation of the funded status of the plans at December 30, 1995
and December 31, 1994 is as follows:

Assets of the Company's qualified plans are invested in directed trusts. Assets
in the directed trusts are invested in common and preferred stocks, corporate
bonds, money market funds and U.S. government obligations. The nonqualified
supplemental plan assets consist of the cash surrender value of certain
insurance contracts.
The Company also contributes to certain union retirement and insurance funds
established to provide retirement benefits and group life, health and accident
insurance for eligible employees. The total cost of these contributions was
$4,263, $4,693, and $5,060 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The actuarial
present value of accumulated plan benefits and net assets available for benefits
for employees in the union administered plans are not determinable from
information available to the Company.
Long Term Savings and Investment Plan
Salant sponsors the Long Term Savings and Investment Plan, under which eligible
salaried employees may contribute up to 15% of their annual compensation,
subject to certain limitations, to a money market fund, a fixed income fund
and/or an equity fund. Salant contributes a minimum matching amount of 20% of
the first 6% of a participant's annual compensation and may contribute an
additional discretionary amount in cash or in the Company's common stock. In
1995, 1994 and 1993 Salant's aggregate contributions to the Long Term Savings
and Investment Plan amounted to $239, $239 and $208, respectively.
Note 13. Stock Options, Warrants and Shareholder Rights
On September 20, 1993, pursuant to the Reorganization Plan, the Company adopted
the 1993 Stock Plan under which directors receive an automatic grant of stock
options pursuant to a formula contained in such plan and options or awards may
be granted to key employees of the Company for the purchase of an aggregate of
600,000 shares of the Company's common stock.
The 1988 and 1987 Stock Plans authorized the Company to grant stock options or
stock awards aggregating 1,200,000 shares of Salant common stock to officers,
key employees and, in the case of the 1988 Stock Plan, directors.
The 1993, 1988 and 1987 Stock Plans authorized such grants (subject to certain
restrictions applicable to 1993 Stock Plan stock options granted to directors)
at such prices and pursuant to such other terms and conditions as the Stock Plan
Committee may determine. Options may be nonqualified stock options or incentive
stock options and may include stock appreciation rights. Exercise prices of
options are ordinarily equal to 100% of the fair market value of the Company's
shares on the date of grant of the options. Options expire no later than ten
years from the date of grant and become exercisable in varying amounts over
periods ranging from the date of grant to five years from the date of grant.
The following table summarizes stock option transactions during
1993, 1994 and 1995:
Shares Price Range
Options outstanding at January 2, 1993 1,050,240 $1.00-15.125

Options outstanding at December 30, 1995 1,263,573 $1.00-15.125
Options exercisable at December 30, 1995 904,209 $1.00-15.125
Options exercisable at December 31, 1994 809,672 $1.00-15.125
At December 30, 1995, there were 176,342 shares of Salant common stock reserved
for future grants of stock options or stock awards.
Pursuant to the Reorganization Plan, the Company issued 2,371,182 Salant B
Warrants (the "Warrants") to holders of the Company's common stock immediately
prior to the consummation date. Each Warrant expires three years from the date
of issuance and entitles the registered holder thereof to purchase one share of
common stock of the Company at prices of $16 during the first year after
issuance, $18 during the second year after issuance and $20 thereafter. No
Warrants were exercised in 1993, 1994, or 1995.
The Company has a shareholder rights plan (the "Rights Plan"), which provides
for a dividend distribution of one right for each share of Salant common stock
to holders of record at the close of business on December 23, 1987. The rights
will expire on December 23, 1997. With certain exceptions, the rights will
become exercisable only in the event that an acquiring party accumulates 20
percent or more of the Company's voting stock, or if a party announces an offer
to acquire 30 percent or more of such voting stock. Each right, when
exercisable, will entitle the holder to buy one one-hundredth of a share of a
new series of cumulative preferred stock at a price of $30 per right or upon the
occurrence of certain events, to purchase either Salant common stock or shares
in an "acquiring entity" at half the market value thereof. The Company will
generally be entitled to redeem the rights at three cents per right at any time
until the 10th day following the acquisition of a 20 percent position in its
voting stock. In July 1993, the Rights Plan was amended to provide that an
acquisition or offer by Apollo Apparel Partners, L.P., or any of its
subsidiaries, will not cause the rights to become exercisable.
In summary, as of December 30, 1995, there were 1,263,573 shares of Common Stock
reserved for the exercise of stock options, 176,342 shares of Common Stock
reserved for future grants of stock options or awards and 2,371,182 shares of
Common Stock reserved for the Warrants, for a total of 3,811,097 shares of
Common Stock reserved for the future issuance of stock options, stock awards and
warrants.

Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies
(a) Lease Commitments
The Company conducts a portion of its operations in premises occupied under
leases expiring at various dates through 2012. Certain of the leases contain
renewal options. Rental payments under certain leases may be adjusted for
increases in taxes and operating expenses above specified amounts. In addition,
certain of the leases for outlet stores contain provisions for additional rent
based upon sales.
In 1995, 1994 and 1993, rental expense was $7,265, $5,914 and $5,478,
respectively. As of December 30, 1995, future minimum rental payments under
noncancelable operating leases (exclusive of renewal options, percentage
rentals, and adjustments for property taxes and operating expenses) were as
follows:
Fiscal Year
1996 $6,759
1997 5,584
1998 5,113
1999 3,989
2000 2,328
Thereafter 11,001
Total $34,774
(b) Employment Agreements
The Company has employment agreements with certain executives, which provide for
the payment of compensation aggregating approximately $4,742 in 1996, $1,070 in
1997 and $250 in 1998. In addition, such employment agreements provide for
incentive compensation based on various performance criteria.
Note 16. Acquisition
On June 10, 1994, the Company acquired all the capital stock of JJ. Farmer
Clothing Inc. (a Canadian corporation) and the assets of JJ. Farmer
International Limited (a Hong Kong corporation) (collectively "JJ. Farmer") for
approximately $5,311 in cash. The purchase price is subject to adjustment based
on a number of items, including the future profitability of JJ. Farmer. Through
December 30, 1995, the Company made additional payments of $463. The acquisition
has been accounted for as a purchase, and accordingly, JJ. Farmer's operating
results have been included in the Company's consolidated results of operations
commencing June 11, 1994. Pro forma results of operations have not been
presented as the effect would not be significant. JJ. Farmer's net sales for the
five months ended May 31, 1994 and the twelve months ended December 31, 1993
were $3,392 and $13,104, respectively. The excess of cost over the book value of
net assets acquired ($4,589 subject to adjustment) is being amortized over a
period of not more than 15 years on a straight-line basis.
As part of the acquisition, the Company agreed to pay to the sellers of JJ.
Farmer, certain minimum amounts in the years 1996 through 1999. The present
value of such future payments is $1,789, and is included in long-term debt.
Note 17. Discontinued Operations
In February 1995, the Company discontinued the operations of the Vera Scarf
division, which imported and marketed women's scarves. The loss from operations
of the division in 1994 was $9,639, which included a fourth quarter charge of
$9,004 for the write-off of goodwill and other intangible assets. The loss from
operations of the division in 1993 was $589.
Additionally, in 1994 the Company recorded a fourth quarter charge of $1,796 to
accrue for expected operating losses during the phase-out period through June
1995. No income tax benefits have been allocated to the division's 1994 or 1993
losses. Such losses are included in the Company's net operating loss
carryforward disclosed in Note 11.
Net sales of the division were $1,673, $5,087, and $5,138 in 1995, 1994, and
1993 respectively. The net assets and/or net liabilities of the discontinued
operations have been reclassified on the balance sheets as net assets or net
liabilities of discontinued operations, and consist principally of accounts
receivable, inventory and accrued losses for the phase-out period.
Note 18. Consummation of the Plan of Reorganization
From the Consummation Date through December 30, 1995, pursuant to the
Reorganization Plan, the Company made cash payments of $8,800, issued $111,851
of new 10-1/2% senior secured notes and issued 10.9 million shares of common
stock to creditors in settlement of certain claims in the chapter 11
proceedings. Salant anticipates that an additional $4,761 in cash and an
additional 376 thousand shares of common stock ultimately will have been
distributed to creditors by the time all remaining claims have been resolved.
Provisions for such distributions had previously been made in the consolidated
financial statements. As further described in Note 3, upon consummation of the
Reorganization Plan, the Company recorded an extraordinary gain of $24,707
relating to the settlement of indebtedness pursuant to the Reorganization Plan.
Note 19. Discontinued Operations Subsequently Retained
In March 1993, the Company adopted a formal plan to restructure and sell its
Children's Apparel Group. Consequently, the division was accounted for as a
discontinued operation for 1992 and the first three quarters of 1993. In March
1994, the Company concluded that the value of the division would be maximized by
retaining the Children's Apparel Group as part of its continuing operations. As
a result, the assets, liabilities and results of operations for all periods
presented have been presented as part of continuing operations. In the fourth
quarter of 1993, a previous estimated loss on disposal charge was reversed in
its entirety and the Company recorded a provision of $5,000 for restructuring
costs, including (i) the costs of closure of certain unprofitable product lines,
(ii) inventory markdowns associated with those product lines, and (iii) fixed
asset write-downs at closed locations.
