NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, excluding per share amounts)
(Unaudited)

Note 1—Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Organization:    The Warnaco Group, Inc. ("Warnaco Group" and, collectively with its subsidiaries, the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware on March 14, 1986 and on May 10, 1986, acquired substantially all of the outstanding shares of Warnaco Inc. ("Warnaco"). Warnaco is the principal operating subsidiary of Warnaco Group. Warnaco Group, Warnaco and certain of Warnaco's subsidiaries were reorganized under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C.§§101-1330, as amended, effective February 4, 2003 (the "Effective Date").

Basis of Consolidation and Presentation:    The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (all of which were of a normal recurring nature, except for the adjustments recorded in connection with the adoption of fresh start accounting on the Effective Date to adjust the Company's assets and liabilities to fair value and to record the discharge of indebtedness) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 3, 2004, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 18, 2004.

All inter-company accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

References in these consolidated condensed financial statements to the "Predecessor" refer to the Company prior to the Effective Date. References to the "Successor" refer to the Company on and after the Effective Date, after giving effect to the implementation of fresh start accounting.

The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements of the Predecessor for the period January 5, 2003 to February 4, 2003 have been presented in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 90-7, Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code.

Periods Covered:    The period January 4, 2004 to April 3, 2004 (the "First Quarter of Fiscal 2004") contained thirteen weeks of operations of the Successor. The period February 5, 2003 to April 5, 2003 contained nine weeks of operations of the Successor and the period January 5, 2003 to February 4, 2003 contained four weeks of operations of the Predecessor.

Restatement:    As previously disclosed, the Company restated its consolidated condensed statements of operations for the period February 5, 2003 to April 5, 2003 and for the second and third quarters of fiscal 2003 to reflect amortization expense related to the reclassification of the Calvin Klein® jeans license from an indefinite lived intangible asset to a finite lived intangible asset. The effect of the restatement was to increase amortization expense (which consequently decreased net income or increased net loss) by $378 ($0.01 per share), $567 ($0.01 per share) and $567 ($0.01 per share) for the period February 5, 2003 to April 5, 2003 and for the second and third quarters of fiscal 2003, respectively. See Note 18 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Notes 28 and 29 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2004.

Reclassifications:    Certain prior period items have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, including the reclassifications necessary to account for the Company's discontinued operations.

Note 2—Stock-Based Compensation

Effective February 5, 2003, the Company adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock options for all options granted by the Company after February 4, 2003 pursuant to the prospective

method provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, Transition and Disclosure. The Company uses the Black-Scholes model to calculate the fair value of stock option awards at the time the awards are granted. The Black-Scholes model requires the Company to make significant judgments regarding the assumptions used within the Black-Scholes model, including the stock price volatility assumption, the expected life of the option award and the risk-free rate of return. In determining the stock price volatility assumption used, the Company considered the volatility of the stock prices of selected companies in the apparel industry, the nature of those companies, the Company's stock price volatility since its emergence from bankruptcy and other factors. The Company based its estimate of the expected life of a stock option of five years upon the vesting period and the option term of ten years for outstanding and issued options. The Company's risk-free rate of return assumption for options granted in 2003 and the First Quarter of 2004 was equal to the quoted yield for five-year U.S. treasury bonds as of the date of grant.

On March 2, 2004, the Company granted 819,600 stock options and 142,100 shares of restricted stock to employees pursuant to the Company's 2003 Stock Incentive Plan. Each of these equity awards will vest annually with respect to 1/3 of the shares on each March 2 beginning in 2005 provided that the grantee is employed by the Company on each date. Compensation expense related to restricted stock grants is determined based on the fair value of the underlying stock on the grant date and recognized over the vesting period of the grants on a straight-line basis.

Prior to February 5, 2003, the Company followed the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. The Company accounted for stock-based compensation for employees using the intrinsic value method as prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees ("APB 25"), and related interpretations. Under APB 25, no compensation expense was recognized for employee share option grants because the exercise price of the options granted equaled the market price of the underlying shares on the date of grant. Compensation expense related to restricted stock grants prior to February 4, 2003 was recognized over the vesting period of the grants. The following table illustrates the effect that stock-based compensation would have had on net income and net income per share of the Predecessor if such compensation expense had been included in its net income and net income per share for the period January 5, 2003 to February 4, 2003:

Note 3—Discontinued Operations

A description of discontinued operations is presented below:

Sale of ABS:    In November 2003, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the assets of its A.B.S. by Allen Schwartz® ("ABS") business unit. The sale of the ABS business unit was finalized on January 30, 2004. The sale price was $15,000 in cash plus the assumption of $2,000 in liabilities. In the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company recorded a loss related to the sale of its ABS business unit of $3,143 which was included in loss from discontinued operations. The loss included an impairment charge of $3,019, before income taxes, related to the write-down of the ABS trademark to net realizable value. Cash proceeds from the sale, net of related expenses, were $14,844.

Closure of 44 Speedo Authentic Fitness Retail Stores:    During the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company announced its intention to close its 44 remaining Speedo Authentic Fitness® retail stores. As of April 3, 2004, 39 of these 44 stores had been closed and the Company had recorded a charge of $2,720 related to future lease commitments and proposed landlord settlements in connection with the 39 closed Speedo Authentic Fitness retail stores, net of assumed sub-lease rental income that could be obtained from subleasing the properties. The Company has determined that future operating lease commitments relating to the remaining five stores is approximately $285, representing the aggregate lease commitments for the rental periods that will remain on such stores' rental agreements following the stores' expected closure dates (after considering possible reductions in lease commitments that could be obtained from subleasing the properties or settling with the lessors).

Rationalization of Warner's Europe Operations:    During the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company announced its plan to exit its Warner's® business in Europe. The Company is currently engaged in the search for a buyer of this business and expects that any sale of this business will be completed by the end of fiscal 2004.

Note 4—Restructuring Items

Continuing Operations:    During the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $2,323. The restructuring charges relate to the continuation of activities commenced in prior periods associated with the closure and consolidation of certain facilities and the sale of the Company's manufacturing facility in Honduras, as well as restructuring charges related to the February 2004 sale of the Company's San Luis, Mexico manufacturing facility. In connection with the sale of its manufacturing facility in Honduras, the Company entered into a production agreement with the buyer, pursuant to which the Company has guaranteed to certain suppliers the open purchase order obligations of the buyer. Such guarantees expire on July 1, 2004. The production agreement with the buyer allows the Company to set-off its payment obligations to the buyer against any payments the Company has made to a supplier pursuant to any guaranty in the event the buyer defaults on its payment obligations to the supplier. The amount of future payments that the Company could be obligated to make under the guarantees existing at April 3, 2004 was $561. The Company may incur additional guarantee obligations through July 1, 2004. The estimated fair value of the guarantees is not material to the Company's financial statements. In connection with the sale of its manufacturing facility in San Luis, Mexico, the Company sold certain property and machinery for $148.

Discontinued Operations:    During the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $3,451 related to the continuation of restructuring activities associated with the rationalization of its Warner's operations in Europe and its decision, in 2003, to close its remaining 44 Speedo Authentic Fitness retail stores located in the United States and Canada.

Note 6—Income Taxes

Successor Company

The provision for income taxes of $15,771 for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004 consists of an income tax expense of $8,955 on domestic earnings and $6,816 on foreign earnings. The provision for income taxes of $16,180 for the period February 5, 2003 to April 5, 2003 consists of an income tax expense of $12,454 on domestic earnings and $3,726 on foreign earnings.

During the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004, the Company decreased its valuation allowance by $6,332 to $123,967 as a result of the realization of a deferred tax asset. This decrease in the Company's valuation allowance has been recorded against goodwill. The Company has not provided for any tax benefit for certain foreign losses incurred during the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2003 where it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the income tax benefit for these losses.

During the period February 5, 2003 to April 5, 2003, the Company generated sufficient taxable income to realize a portion of the deferred tax asset of $3,302 on which a valuation allowance was previously established. This decrease in the Company's valuation allowance has been recorded against goodwill. In addition, goodwill was further reduced by $8,373 as a result of the use of net operating loss carry forwards for tax reporting purposes.

Under U.S. tax law, a company that realized cancellation of debt income ("COD") while in bankruptcy is entitled to exclude such income from taxable income for U.S. tax reporting purposes. A company that excludes COD income will be required to reduce certain tax attributes in an amount equal to the COD excluded from taxable income. If the attribute reduction is applied on a consolidated basis, all of the Company's U.S. consolidated net operating loss carryovers will be eliminated and certain of its other U.S. tax attributes will be substantially reduced or eliminated. However, by applying the attribute reduction rules on a separate company basis, the Company believes that it will likely retain U.S. net operating loss carryforwards in the range of $160,000 to $190,000, which can be used to reduce U.S. taxable income, if any, by approximately $23,000 per year. The actual amount of U.S. consolidated net operating loss carryovers that the Company will claim for U.S. income tax reporting purposes will not be determined until the Company files its U.S. consolidated income tax return for fiscal 2003. There can be no assurance that the Company's position with respect to separate company attribute reduction will be sustained upon review by the Internal Revenue Service. Any tax benefit from the utilization of consolidated U.S. net operating losses that existed as of February 4, 2003 will reduce goodwill when realized and will not affect the Company's future results of operations.

Predecessor Company

The provision for income taxes of $78,150 for the period January 5, 2003 to February 4, 2003 consists of a deferred income tax provision of $77,584 related to the increase in the carrying value of certain assets to fair value recorded in connection with the Company's adoption of fresh start accounting and an income tax expense related to foreign earnings of $566.

(a) The Company was in compliance with the covenants of the Senior Notes at April 3, 2004 and January 3, 2004.
(b) On September 18, 2003, the Company entered into an Interest Rate Swap Agreement (the "Swap Agreement") with respect to the Company's Senior Notes for a total notional amount of $50,000. The Swap Agreement provides that the Company will receive interest of 8 7/8% and pay a variable rate of interest based upon the six month London Interbank Offered Rate plus 4.11% (5.34% at April 3, 2004 and January 3, 2004). As a result of the Swap Agreement, the weighted average effective interest rate of the Senior Notes was reduced to 8.03% as of April 3, 2004 and January 3, 2004. The Swap Agreement expires on June 15, 2013 (the date on which the Senior Notes mature).

Note 16—Legal Matters

SEC Investigation:    The Company has reached a settlement with the SEC on the previously disclosed proposed allegations related to matters that had been under investigation. Pursuant to the settlement, on May 11, 2004, the SEC issued an administrative order requiring that the Company cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and future violations of Sections 10(b), 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A) and 13(b)(2)(B) of the Exchange Act and Rules 10b-5, 12b-20, 13a-1 and 13a-13 thereunder. The cease-and-desist order, in which the Company neither admits nor denies the findings, was pursuant to the Company's offer of settlement. The Company will pay no fine under the SEC settlement. As part of the settlement, the Company has agreed to certain undertakings, including retention of an independent consultant to perform a review of the Company's internal controls and policies relating to its inventory systems, internal audit, financial reporting and other accounting functions. In addition, the Company has agreed that for a period of two years its Chief Administrative Officer (who previously served as General Counsel) shall not sign any documents to be filed with the SEC by or on behalf of the Company and shall not participate in or be responsible for the preparation or review of such filings except under limited circumstances. The Company has also agreed that for a period of two years its General Counsel shall continue to report directly to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors on any matters relating to the Company's financial reporting obligations. The Company does not expect the settlement with the SEC to have a material effect on its financial condition, results of operations or business.

Other:    In addition to the above, from time to time, the Company is involved in arbitrations or legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. The Company cannot predict the timing or outcome of these claims and proceedings. Currently, the Company is not involved in any arbitration and/or legal proceeding that it expects to have a material effect on its financial condition, results of operations or business.

Note 18—Restatement of 2003 Quarterly Financial Statements

As previously disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 3, 2004, in the course of finalizing the Company's 2003 financial statements, the Company, after consultation with its auditors, determined that its Calvin Klein jeans license, which had been classified as an indefinite lived intangible asset and thus not amortized, should be classified as a finite lived intangible asset and amortized over the remaining license period of 42 years commencing February 5, 2003. As a result, the Company restated its statements of operations for the period February 5, 2003 to April 5, 2003 and for the second and third quarters of fiscal 2003 to reflect amortization expense related to the Calvin Klein jeans license. The restatement reduced net income (or increased net loss) and had no effect on cash flows from operations and will not affect cash flows in the future. See Notes 28 and 29 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2004.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The Warnaco Group, Inc. ("Warnaco Group" and, collectively with its subsidiaries, the "Company") is subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause its future results of operations to differ materially from its historical results of operations and those expected in the future. The Company generally is subject to certain risks that could affect the market value of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"). Except for the historical information contained herein, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the following discussion, contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See "Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Disclosure."

As previously disclosed, the Company restated its consolidated condensed statements of operations for the period February 5, 2003 to April 5, 2003 and for the second and third quarters of fiscal 2003 to reflect amortization expense related to the change in classification of the Company's Calvin Klein jeans license from an indefinite lived intangible asset to a finite lived intangible asset. See Notes 28 and 29 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2004. The effect of the restatement was to increase amortization expense (which consequently decreased net income or increased net loss) by $0.4 million, $0.6 million and $0.6 million for the period February 5, 2003 to April 5, 2003 and for the second and third quarters of fiscal 2003, respectively. The restatement had no effect on cash flows from operations and will not affect cash flows in the future. The accompanying Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations gives effect to the restatement of the consolidated financial statements for the period February 5, 2003 to April 5, 2003. See Note 18 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is a summary and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated condensed financial statements and related notes thereto which are included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2004. References to the "Predecessor" refer to the Company prior to February 4, 2003. References to the "Successor" refer to the Company on and after February 4, 2003 after giving effect to the implementation of fresh start accounting. References to the "First Quarter of Fiscal 2004" refer to results of operations of the Successor for the thirteen-week period from January 4, 2004 to April 3, 2004. References to the "First Quarter of Fiscal 2003" refer to the results of operations of the Successor for the nine-week period from February 5, 2003 to April 5, 2003 combined with the results of operations of the Predecessor for the four-week period from January 5, 2003 to February 4, 2003.

Overview

The Company designs, sources, manufactures and markets a broad line of intimate apparel, sportswear and swimwear worldwide. The Company sells its products under several highly recognized brand names. The Company's products are distributed, domestically and internationally, primarily to wholesale customers through multiple distribution channels, including major department stores, independent retailers, chain stores, membership clubs, specialty and other stores and mass merchandisers.

    Financial Highlights

Net income for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004 was $20.2 million, or $0.44 per diluted share. Net revenues were $393.3 million and income from continuing operations was $23.7 million, or $0.51 per diluted share. The Company emerged from bankruptcy on February 4, 2003, and therefore the prior year results of the Successor are for the two-month period commencing February 5, 2003 and ending April 5, 2003. For that period, net income was $22.3 million, or $0.49 per diluted share. Net revenues were $313.3 million and income from continuing operations was $22.4 million or, $0.49 per diluted share.

The Company's balance sheet improved in part due to a decrease in inventory of $38.6 million, or 13.8%, from $279.8 million at January 3, 2004 to $241.2 million at April 3, 2004. The decrease in

29




inventory was due primarily to better inventory management. Cash increased by $15.5 million, or 29.0%, to $69.0 million at April 3, 2004 compared to $53.5 million at January 3, 2004. The increase in cash reflects proceeds from the January 2004 sale of the assets of the Company's A.B.S. by Allen Schwartz ("ABS") business unit of $14.8 million. Accounts receivable increased by $62.4 million, or 29.8%, to $271.9 million compared to $209.5 million at January 3, 2004. The increase in accounts receivable primarily reflects the seasonal sale of swimwear products in the first quarter of the fiscal year.

    Operating Highlights

The Company's net revenues for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004 decreased 7.1% compared to the First Quarter of Fiscal 2003, in line with the Company's expectations. The decrease in net revenues in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004 compared to the First Quarter of Fiscal 2003 reflects declines in revenues from Calvin Klein jeans and Warner's, Olga, BodyNancyGanz and Bodyslimmers ("Warner's/Olga/Body") brands, partially offset by growth in the Calvin Klein underwear business (particularly in Europe and Asia) and the Swimwear Group. The Company notes that net revenues in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2003 benefited from the timing of certain Calvin Klein jeans net revenues of approximately $21.8 million related to sales to certain membership clubs and off-price retailers. Additionally, the early sales of approximately $4 million of Speedo swimwear in December 2003 negatively affected Speedo sales for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004. The Company's preliminary orders for Calvin Klein jeans for the fall season are up in excess of 14% compared to preliminary orders received at this time last year and the Company expects that the sales trend in CalvinKlein jeans will begin to improve in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2004. The Company continues to experience difficulty in its Warner's/Olga/Body intimate apparel brands. Management is in the process of improving product quality and developing and repositioning the Warner's/Olga/Body brands and is also seeking to eliminate certain unprofitable styles. The Company recently introduced a new line of lingerie under the JLO by Jennifer Lopez® brand name and a new sub-brand of its Lejaby brand called Lejaby Rose®. The Company expects both launches to contribute to increases in the sales of intimate apparel in the second half of 2004. The Company continues to expand its distribution of Calvin Klein underwear in Asia and Europe through expanded wholesale distribution and by expanding its Calvin Klein underwear full price retail business.

The Company continues to improve its cash flow through more efficient operations. Cash flow provided by operating activities improved $40.1 million in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004 compared to the First Quarter of Fiscal 2003 primarily due to better working capital management and the decrease in cash expenditures for bankruptcy related fees and expenses and the Company's restructuring initiatives. The improved operating cash flows and the proceeds from asset sales contributed to the Company's strong liquidity position. The Company had approximately $224.0 million of credit available under its $275 million Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (the "Exit Financing Facility") and had $69.0 million of cash on hand at April 3, 2004.

During the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004, the Company continued to streamline its operations and position its businesses to improve its operating margins, while also improving product lead times and quality, reducing product costs and reducing the Company's investment in working capital. In addition, and in furtherance of certain of those goals, the Company restructured certain divisions and rationalized certain non-core or underperforming assets.

During the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004, the Company focused on:

•  Continuing the restructuring initiatives begun in fiscal 2003.    In the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004, the Company: (i) sold the ABS business unit, a non-core asset, generating net proceeds of $14.8 million; (ii) closed 39 of the 44 remaining Speedo Authentic Fitness retail stores (the remaining five stores were closed in April 2004); (iii) closed its Warner's brand operation in Europe, which had a history of losses; (iv) sold its San Luis, Mexico manufacturing facility for $0.2 million; and (iv) sold its Honduran manufacturing facility for $0.5 million.
•  Continuing the focus on its internal control and corporate oversight initiatives.    The Company has engaged BDO Seidman LLP to assist it in completing its documentation and testing of

30




  internal control procedures in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related rules and regulations. In addition, since the end of fiscal 2003 the Company has recruited two additional independent directors, increasing the number of independent directors on its Board to seven. The Company expects to continue to seek and hire talented individuals for the organization and its Board of Directors.

The Company believes that, although there are many opportunities available to it, the Company also faces a number of risks in its business. These risks include downturns in the economies of the Company's principal markets, weakness in the department store channel of distribution in the United States, changes in import regulations and import tariffs and the uncertainties relating to the Company's ability to design and source fashionable, high quality products that generate excitement and consumer demand and to import the materials and products it needs to satisfy the demands of its customers. The Company attempts to address these risks by offering a wide variety of products at various price points through multiple channels of distribution as well as through its conservative inventory management, conservative capital structure and its strong foundation of basic products that are less susceptible to changes in demand.

Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain 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 for the reporting period. Estimates by their nature are based on judgments and available information and therefore, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results of operations and require difficult, subjective and complex judgments by management in order to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. As previously reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2004, the Company's most critical accounting policies pertain to revenue recognition, cost of goods sold, accounts receivable, inventories, long-lived assets, income taxes, pension plan, stock-based compensation, advertising costs, goodwill and reorganization and restructuring items. In applying such policies, management must record income and expense amounts that are based upon informed judgments and best estimates. Because of the uncertainty inherent in these estimates, actual results could differ from estimates used in applying the critical accounting policies. Changes in such estimates, based on more accurate future information, may affect amounts reported in future periods. Management is not aware of any reasonably likely events or circumstances which would result in different amounts being reported that would materially affect the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

    Inventories

The Company values its inventories at the lower of cost (determined on a first-in, first-out basis) or market. The Company evaluates its inventories to identify excess units or slow-moving styles based upon quantities on hand, orders in house and expected future orders. For those items for which the Company believes it has an excess supply or for styles or colors that are obsolete, the Company estimates the net amount that it expects to realize from the sale of such items. The Company's objective is to recognize projected inventory losses at the time the loss is evident rather than when the goods are ultimately sold. The Company's calculation of the reduction in carrying value necessary for the disposition of excess inventory is highly dependent on its projections of future sales of those products and the prices it is able to obtain for such products. The Company reviews its inventory position monthly and adjusts its reserves for excess or obsolete goods based on revised projections and current market conditions for the disposition of excess and obsolete inventory. If economic conditions worsen, the Company may have to increase its reserve estimates substantially.

At April 3, 2004, the Company had inventory with a carrying value of approximately $26.0 million that was potentially excess and/or obsolete. Based upon the estimated recoveries related to

31




such inventory, as of April 3, 2004, the Company had reduced the carrying value of such inventory by $14.6 million for excess, obsolete and other inventory adjustments. At January 3, 2004, the Company had inventory with a carrying value of approximately $18.5 million that was potentially excess and/or obsolete. Based upon the estimated recoveries related to such inventory, as of January 3, 2004, the Company had reduced the carrying value of such inventory by approximately $11.0 million for excess, obsolete and other inventory adjustments. At February 4, 2003, the Company had identified inventory with a carrying value of approximately $57.2 million that was potentially excess and/or obsolete. Based upon the estimated recoveries related to such inventory, as of February 4, 2003, the Company reduced its inventory by $32.8 million to reflect such inventory at fair value.

Intimate Apparel Group net revenues decreased $5.6 million, or 3.8%, to $141.2 million for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004 from $146.8 million for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2003. Warner's/Olga/Body net revenues decreased $10.9 million, or 24.7%, to $33.2 million for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004, from $44.1 million for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2003, reflecting a decrease in the rate of product reorders from the prior year period. Management is in the process of improving product quality and developing and repositioning the Warner's/Olga/Body brands and is also seeking to eliminate certain unprofitable styles. Additionally, in March 2004, the Company presented a new line of lingerie under the JLO by Jennifer Lopez brand name. Sales of JLO by Jennifer Lopez lingerie have been scheduled for the second half of fiscal 2004. Calvin Klein underwear net revenues increased $5.7 million, or 8.4%, to $73.9 million for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004, from $68.2 million for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2003 reflecting a $5.8 million and $0.5 million increase in net revenues in Europe and the United States, respectively, offset by a $0.6 million combined decrease in net revenues in Canada and Asia. The increase in net revenues in Europe primarily reflects growth in the men's underwear business in Spain coupled with the positive impact of a stronger euro. The Company experienced volume increases in men's and women's underwear sales in the United States of approximately $2.8 million which were partially offset by an increase in sales allowances and returns of approximately $2.3 million. Lejaby net revenues increased $0.1 million, or 0.4%, to $32.0 million for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004, from $31.9 million for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2003, reflecting an increase of $0.9 million in net revenues related to the launch of Lejaby Rose in March 2004 in the United States offset by a decrease in sales in Europe of $0.8 million. The decrease in Lejaby net revenues in Europe primarily reflects an unfavorable reception of certain product lines at retail partially offset by the positive impact of a stronger euro.

Sportswear net revenues declined by $31.5 million, or 24.5%, to $96.8 million for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004 from $128.3 million from the First Quarter of Fiscal 2003. Chaps net revenues decreased $1.2 million, or 3.6%, to $32.3 million for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004 from $33.5 million for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2003, reflecting a decrease of $1.7 million and $0.1 million in the United States and Mexico, respectively, partially offset by an increase of $0.6 million in Canada. The decrease in Chaps domestic net revenues reflects a reduction of approximately $2.5 million in sales to military co-ops in the United States. Calvin Klein jeans net revenues decreased $28.9 million, or 33.3%, to $57.9 million for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004, from $86.8 million for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2003 due primarily to a $28.8 million decrease in net revenues in the United States. The decrease in net revenues in the United States reflects a reduction in sales volume of approximately $32.1 million primarily attributable to the timing of sales to membership clubs, a planned reduction of sales to low margin off-price channels and a decline in department store sales. This reduction in net revenues in the United States was partially offset by better sales and markdown allowances of approximately $3.3 million. Mass sportswear licensing net revenues decreased $2.1 million, or 48.8%, to $2.2 million for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004, from $4.3 million for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2003. This decrease was primarily due to the sale of the White Stag® trademark to Wal-Mart in 2003. The mass sportswear net revenues earned in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004 included fees earned for design services related to White Stag of $1.2 million and royalty income from the sale of Catalina sportswear product by Wal-Mart of $1.0 million. In the First Quarter of Fiscal 2003, royalty income related to the White Stag and Catalina trademarks was approximately $4.3 million.

Speedo net revenues decreased $3.7 million, or 3.7%, to $98.0 million for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004, from $101.7 million for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2003. The decline in Speedo net revenues primarily reflects the timing of

35




certain swimwear sales which took place in December 2003, resulting in a decrease of approximately $4 million in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004 when compared to the First Quarter of Fiscal 2003. Designer Swimwear net revenues increased $10.6 million, or 23.2%, to $56.2 million for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004 from $45.6 million for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2003, reflecting increased sales of Catalina swimwear to Wal-Mart, increases related to the expansion of product offerings to Target and increases related to the Company's Nautica line of swimwear which was introduced in the second half of fiscal 2003.

Intimate Apparel Group $ 51,278     36.3 $ 55,395     37.7
Sportswear Group   29,479     30.5   37,799     29.5
Swimwear Group   60,740     39.1   60,846     41.0
Total Gross Profit $ 141,497     36.0 $ 154,040     36.4

Gross profit decreased $12.5 million, or 8.14%, to $141.5 million (36.0% of net revenues) for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004 from $154.0 million (36.4% of net revenues) for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2003 primarily reflecting lower sales volumes. Gross profit for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004 includes approximately $5.4 million related to the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, primarily as a result of a stronger euro and Canadian dollar.

Intimate Apparel Group gross profit decreased $4.1 million, or 7.4%, to $51.3 million for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004 from $55.4 million for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2003. The decrease in gross profit primarily reflects the effect of lower sales volumes. Gross margin decreased from 37.7% for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2003 to 36.3% for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004, reflecting inefficiencies related to production and sourcing primarily due to the decrease in sales volume, coupled with an increase of approximately $0.9 million in design and development costs primarily related to the Company's new Lejaby Rose and JLO by Jennifer Lopez brands.

Sportswear Group gross profit decreased $8.3 million, or 22.0%, to $29.5 million for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004 from $37.8 million for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2003. Gross margin increased from 29.5% for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2003 to 30.5% for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004. The decrease in gross profit reflects the effect of lower sales volumes. The increase in gross margin reflects favorable sourcing variances related primarily to the Calvin Klein jeans business and higher gross margins achieved in the Chaps business in Mexico as a result of an improved sales mix.

Swimwear Group gross profit decreased $0.1 million, or 0.2%, to $60.7 million for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004 from $60.8 million for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2003. Gross margin decreased from 41.0% for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2003 to 39.1% for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004. The decrease in gross profit and gross margin reflects the effect of competitive pricing, specifically at certain chain stores and membership clubs, partially offset by increased sales volumes and lower manufacturing costs due to efficiencies realized with the consolidation of certain manufacturing facilities in 2003.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses decreased $0.8 million, or 0.8%, to $95.7 million (24.3% of net revenues) for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004 from $96.4 million (22.8% of net revenues) for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2003. SG&A expenses for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004 includes approximately $3.3 million related to the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, primarily as a result of a stronger euro and Canadian dollar. Included in SG&A expenses in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2003 are certain legal and professional fees and employee

36




related costs of approximately $1.3 million related to the Company's emergence from bankruptcy. Comparable expenses were not incurred in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004. Stock-based compensation expenses recorded in SG&A expense increased $1.2 million from $0.2 million in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2003 to $1.4 million in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004. The increase in stock-based compensation expenses recorded in SG&A expense was due to the Company's issuance of stock options and restricted shares beginning in March 2003 such that stock options and restricted stock awards were outstanding for a longer period in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004 than in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2003.

Amortization of Sales Order Backlog

Results of operations in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2003 included $3.9 million of expenses related to the amortization of sales order backlog which were recorded in conjunction with the adoption of fresh start accounting on February 4, 2003. No comparable expenses were recorded in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004.

Restructuring Items

    Continuing Operations

During the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $2.3 million. The restructuring charges relate to the continuation of activities commenced in prior periods associated with the closure and consolidation of certain facilities and the sale of the Company's manufacturing facility in Honduras, as well as restructuring charges related to the February 2004 sale of the Company's San Luis, Mexico manufacturing facility. In connection with the sale of its manufacturing facility in Honduras, the Company entered into a production agreement with the buyer, pursuant to which the Company has guaranteed to certain suppliers the open purchase order obligations of the buyer. Such guarantees expire on July 1, 2004. The production agreement with the buyer allows the Company to set-off its payment obligations to the buyer against any payments the Company has made to a supplier pursuant to any guaranty in the event the buyer defaults on its payment obligations to the supplier. The amount of future payments that the Company could be obligated to make under the guarantees existing at April 3, 2004 was $0.6 million. The Company may incur additional guarantee obligations through July 1, 2004. The estimated fair value of the guarantee is not material to the Company's financial statements. In connection with the sale of its manufacturing facility in San Luis, Mexico, the Company sold certain property and machinery for $0.2 million.

    Discontinued Operations

During the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $3.5 million related to the continuation of restructuring activities associated with the rationalization of its Warner's operations in Europe and its decision, in 2003, to close its remaining 44 Speedo Authentic Fitness retail stores located in the United States and Canada.

Operating income increased $19.4 million to $43.2 million for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004 compared to $23.8 million for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2003, reflecting a decrease in restructuring and reorganization items of $27.6 million and a decrease in unallocated corporate expenses of $0.5 million partially offset by a decrease in group operating income of $8.6 million. Operating income for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004 includes approximately $2.0 million related to the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, primarily as a result of a stronger euro and Canadian dollar.

The Intimate Apparel Group's operating income decreased $4.4 million to $13.2 million (9.3% of net revenues) for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004 compared to operating income of $17.6 million (12.0% of net revenues) for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2003. The decrease in operating income and operating margin is attributable to weakness in the Warner's/Olga/Body and Lejaby brands partially offset by strength in Calvin Klein underwear. The operating loss in Warner's/Olga/Body reflects the decline in Warner's/Olga/Body net revenues described above and an increase in SG&A expenses as a

39




percentage of sales due primarily to the reduction in net revenues. SG&A expenses in Warner's/Olga/Body declined approximately $0.4 million due to cost cutting initiatives undertaken by management in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004; however, as a percentage of net revenues, SG&A expenses increased from approximately 24.2% in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2003 to approximately 31.0% in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004. A portion of the above mentioned percentage increase relates to costs of approximately $0.5 million associated with the Company's new line of JLO by Jennifer Lopez lingerie, which the Company expects to launch in the second half of fiscal 2004. Management is in the process of addressing product issues and developing and repositioning the Warner's/Olga/Body brands. The decrease in Lejaby operating income reflects relatively flat net revenues coupled with an increase in SG&A expenses. A portion of the increase in SG&A expenses relates to an increase of $0.6 million in marketing costs associated with a new European advertising campaign and the launch of Lejaby Rose. The increase in operating income and operating margin in Calvin Klein underwear reflects the growth in net revenues described above, the positive effect of a stronger euro and a decrease in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net revenues (from 24.2% in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2003 to 22.1% in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004) due primarily to the Calvin Klein underwear net revenue growth described above.

Sportswear Group operating income decreased $5.3 million, or 29.8%, to $12.3 million (12.7% of net revenues) for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004 compared to operating income of $17.6 million (13.7% of net revenues) for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2003, reflecting decreases in Calvin Klein jeans and mass sportswear licensing offset by increases in Chaps and Calvin Klein accessories. Chaps experienced a modest increase in operating income and operating margin despite a slight decrease in net revenues, primarily due to improved gross margins achieved in Mexico as a result of an improved sales mix and a slight increase in Chaps operating income in Canada due to the positive effects of a stronger Canadian dollar. The decrease in operating income in Calvin Klein jeans is due primarily to the decrease in Calvin Klein jeans net revenues described above. The decrease in operating margin in Calvin Klein jeans reflects an increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net revenues from 15.8% in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2003 to 17.8% in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004, due primarily to the decrease in Calvin Klein jeans net revenues described above. The decrease in operating income of mass sportswear licensing is primarily attributable to the sale of the White Stag trademark in 2003, as discussed above.

Swimwear Group operating income increased $1.0 million, or 2.8%, to $36.9 million (23.8% of net revenues) for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004 compared to operating income of $35.9 million (24.2% of net revenues) for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2003 primarily reflecting a decrease of $0.1 million in gross profit offset by a decrease in SG&A expenses of $1.1 million. The decrease in SG&A expenses reflects reduced amortization expense of $2.8 million related to sales order backlog, partially offset by an increase in SG&A expenses of approximately $1.7 million reflecting expenses associated with the introduction of new Designer Swimwear lines, marketing activities in advance of the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece and the development of a new Speedo activewear line which the Company expects to launch in fiscal 2005.

    Reorganization Items—Gain on Cancellation of Debt and Fresh Start Adjustments

The First Quarter of Fiscal 2003 includes a gain of $1,692.7 million related to the cancellation of the Company's pre-petition debt and other liabilities subject to compromise net of the fair value of cash and securities distributed to the pre-petition creditors. Fresh start adjustments of $765.7 million represent adjustments to the carrying amount of the Company's assets and liabilities to fair value in accordance with the provisions of American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position No. 90-7, Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code.

    Other Income (Loss)

Other income (loss) for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004 primarily reflects gains of $1.4 million on the current portion of inter company loans to foreign subsidiaries that are denominated in United States dollars, offset by realized gains and losses on sales of marketable securities obtained by the Company as part of certain bankruptcy settlements and distributions. Other income (loss) for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2003 reflects realized losses on sales of marketable securities.

    Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense decreased $0.9 million, or 15.0%, to $5.2 million for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004 from $6.1 million for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2003. Interest expense in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004 included interest on the Company's 8 7/8% Senior Notes due 2013 ("Senior Notes") of $4.2 million net of interest income of approximately $0.4 million on the Swap Agreement (as described below), unused commitment fees and letters of credit charges of $0.5 million related to the Exit Financing Facility and deferred financing fees and other items of $0.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Interest income related primarily to cash balances on collateral accounts was $0.4 million in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004. Interest expense for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2003 included approximately $1.1 million of interest for one month on foreign debt (repaid as part of the Company's emergence from bankruptcy), interest expense of $0.1 million related to the settlement of certain operating leases, interest on the New Warnaco Second Lien Notes due 2008 (the "Second Lien Notes") of $3.3 million, interest on the Exit Financing Facility of approximately $1.1 million and other interest, net, of approximately $0.5 million.

41




    Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes of $15.8 million for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004 consists of an income tax expense of $9.0 million on domestic earnings and $6.8 million on foreign earnings. The income tax provision of $94.3 million for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2003 consists of a deferred income tax provision of $77.6 million related to the increase in the carrying value of certain assets to fair value recorded in connection with the Company's adoption of fresh start accounting, income tax expenses of $12.5 million on domestic earnings and income tax expenses of $4.3 million on foreign earnings.

During the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004, the Company decreased its valuation allowance by $6.3 million to $124.0 million as a result of the realization of a deferred tax asset. This decrease in the Company's valuation allowance has been recorded against goodwill. The Company has not provided any tax benefit for certain foreign losses incurred during the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2003 where it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the income tax benefit for these losses.

Under U.S. tax law, a company that realized cancellation of debt income ("COD") while in bankruptcy is entitled to exclude such income from taxable income for U.S. tax reporting purposes. A company that excludes COD income will be required to reduce certain tax attributes in an amount equal to the COD excluded from taxable income. If the attribute reduction is applied on a consolidated basis, all of the Company's U.S. consolidated net operating loss carryovers will be eliminated and certain of its other U.S. tax attributes will be substantially reduced or eliminated. However, by applying the attribute reduction rules on a separate company basis, the Company believes that it will likely retain U.S. net operating loss carryforwards in the range of $160 million to $190 million, which can be used to reduce U.S. taxable income, if any, by approximately $23 million per year. The actual amount of U.S. consolidated net operating loss carryovers that the Company will claim for U.S. income tax reporting purposes will not be determined until the Company files its U.S. consolidated income tax return for Fiscal 2003. There can be no assurance that the Company's position with respect to separate company attribute reduction will be sustained upon review by the Internal Revenue Service. Any tax benefit from the utilization of consolidated U.S. net operating losses that existed as of February 4, 2003 will reduce goodwill when realized and will not affect the Company's future results of operations.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

    Financing Arrangements

    Senior Notes

On June 12, 2003, Warnaco Inc. ("Warnaco"), which is the principal operating subsidiary of Warnaco Group, completed the sale of $210.0 million of Senior Notes at par value, which notes mature on June 15, 2013 and bear interest at a rate of 8 7/8% payable semi-annually on December 15 and June 15 of each year. No principal payments prior to the maturity date are required. The Senior Notes are unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by Warnaco and substantially all of Warnaco's domestic subsidiaries (all of which are 100% owned, either directly or indirectly, by Warnaco). The Senior Notes are effectively subordinate in right of payment to existing and future secured debt (including the Company's Exit Financing Facility) and to the obligations (including trade accounts payable) of the subsidiaries that are not guarantors of the Senior Notes. The guarantees of each guarantor are effectively subordinate to that guarantor's existing and future secured debt (including guarantees of the Exit Financing Facility) to the extent of the value of the assets securing that debt. There are no restrictions that prevent the guarantor subsidiaries from transferring funds or paying dividends to the Company. The indenture pursuant to which the Senior Notes were issued contains covenants which, among other things, restrict the Company's ability to incur additional debt, pay dividends and make restricted payments, create or permit certain liens, use the proceeds of sales of assets and subsidiaries' stock, create or permit restrictions on the ability of certain of Warnaco's

42




subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to Warnaco Group or to Warnaco, enter into transactions with affiliates, engage in certain business activities, engage in sale and leaseback transactions and consolidate or merge or sell all or substantially all of its assets. The Company was in compliance with the covenants of the Senior Notes at April 3, 2004. Redemption of the Senior Notes prior to their maturity is subject to premiums as set forth in the indenture. Proceeds from the sale of the Senior Notes were used to repay the outstanding principal balance on the Second Lien Notes of $200.9 million and accrued interest thereon of $2.0 million. The proceeds were also used to pay underwriting fees, legal and professional fees and other expenses associated with the offering in an aggregate amount of approximately $7.1 million. In connection with the offering of the Senior Notes, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers of the Senior Notes, which, among other things, required Warnaco and the guarantor subsidiaries to complete a registration and exchange of the Senior Notes. In accordance with the registration rights agreement, the Company completed the registration and exchange of the Senior Notes in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004.

    Interest Rate Swap Agreement

On September 18, 2003, the Company entered into an Interest Rate Swap Agreement (the "Swap Agreement") with respect to the Senior Notes for a total notional amount of $50 million. The Swap Agreement provides that the Company will receive interest at 8 7/8% and pay a variable rate of interest based upon six month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 4.11% (5.34% at April 3, 2004). As a result of the Swap Agreement, the weighted average effective interest rate of the Senior Notes was reduced to 8.03% as of April 3, 2004. The Swap Agreement expires on June 15, 2013 (the date on which the Senior Notes mature). The Company designated the Swap Agreement a fair value hedge of the changes in fair value of $50 million aggregate principal amount of the $210 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes outstanding. As of April 3, 2004, the fair value of the Swap Agreement was a gain of $0.8 million, which is offset by a corresponding loss on the hedged debt. No hedge ineffectiveness is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations, as the provisions of the Swap Agreement match the provisions of the hedged debt.

    Exit Financing Facility

On February 4, 2003, the date the Company emerged from bankruptcy, the Company entered into the Exit Financing Facility. The Exit Financing Facility provides for a four-year, non-amortizing revolving credit facility. The Exit Financing Facility includes provisions that allow the Company to increase the maximum available borrowings from $275.0 million to $325.0 million, subject to certain conditions (including obtaining the agreement of existing or new lenders to commit to lend the additional amount). Borrowings under the Exit Financing Facility bear interest at Citibank N.A.'s base rate plus 1.25% (5.25% at April 3, 2004) or at LIBOR plus 2.25% (approximately 3.48% at April 3, 2004). The Company purchases LIBOR contracts when it expects borrowings to be outstanding for more than 30 days. The remaining balances bear interest at the base rate plus 1.25%. Pursuant to the terms of the Exit Financing Facility, the interest rate the Company will pay on its outstanding loans will decrease by as much as 0.25% in the event the Company achieves certain defined ratios. The Exit Financing Facility contains financial covenants that, among other things, require the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio above a minimum level and a leverage ratio below a maximum level and to limit the amount of the Company's capital expenditures. In addition, the Exit Financing Facility contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit investments and asset sales, prohibit the payment of dividends (subject to limited exceptions) and prohibit the Company from incurring material additional indebtedness. As of April 3, 2004, the Company was in compliance with the covenants of the Exit Financing Facility. The Exit Financing Facility is guaranteed by Warnaco Group and substantially all of the domestic subsidiaries of Warnaco and the obligations under such guarantee, together with the Company's obligations under the Exit Financing Facility, are secured by a lien on substantially all of the domestic assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries. As of April 3, 2004, the Company had repaid all amounts owing under the Exit Financing Facility, had not borrowed under the Exit Financing Facility in 2004 and had approximately $49.3 million of cash

43




available as collateral against outstanding letters of credit of $59.3 million. At April 3, 2004, the Company had $223.9 million of credit available under the Exit Financing Facility.

On November 12, 2003, the Company's lenders approved an amendment to the Exit Financing Facility to modify certain definitions and covenants and to permit certain asset sales, permit the use of cash balances to fund acquisitions and allow the Company to repurchase up to $10 million of the Company's outstanding Senior Notes after June 30, 2004.

    Liquidity

At April 3, 2004, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the Exit Financing Facility and had $49.3 million of cash available to collateralize $59.3 million of letters of credit outstanding.

At April 3, 2004, the Company's total debt was $211.8 million (including $0.8 million of unrealized loss on the underlying debt attributable to the Company's outstanding Swap Agreement) compared to $211.1 million at January 3, 2004. Cash at April 3, 2004 had increased $15.5 million to $69.0 million from $53.5 million at January 3, 2004.

At April 3, 2004, the Company had working capital of $418.5 million, including $69.0 million of cash.

The Company believes that cash available under the Exit Financing Facility and cash to be generated from future operating activities will be sufficient to fund its operations, including capital expenditures, for the next three years. If the Company requires additional sources of capital, it will consider reducing capital expenditures, seeking additional financing or selling assets to meet such requirements.

    Cash Flows

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Rule 3b-6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Rule 175 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and relevant legal decisions. The forward-looking statements reflect, when made, the Company's expectations or beliefs concerning future events that involve risks and uncertainties, including general economic conditions affecting the apparel industry, changing fashion trends, pricing pressures which may cause the Company to lower its prices, increases in the prices of raw materials the Company uses, changing international trade regulation and elimination of quotas on imports of textiles and apparel, the Company's history of losses, the Company's ability to protect its intellectual property rights, the Company's dependency on a limited number of customers, the Company's dependency on the reputation of its brand names, the Company's exposure to conditions in overseas markets, the competition in the Company's markets, the comparability of financial statements for periods before and after the Company's adoption of fresh start accounting, the Company's history of insufficient disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls and restated financial statements, the Company's future plans concerning guidance regarding its results of operations, the effect of the settlement with the SEC, the effect of local laws and regulations, shortages of supply of sourced goods or interruptions in the Company's manufacturing, the Company's level of debt, the Company's ability to obtain additional financing, the restrictions on the Company's operations imposed by its revolving credit facility and the indenture governing the Senior Notes and the Company's ability to service its debt. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Company is exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company is subject to market risk from exposure to changes in interest rates based primarily on its financing activities. During the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004, the Company did not have any borrowings outstanding under the Exit Financing Facility. However, the Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its outstanding $50.0 million Swap Agreement. The variable interest rate portion of the Company's outstanding Swap Agreement is determined semi-annually on December 15 and June 15 for the ensuing six-month period. A hypothetical adverse change in interest rates of 100 basis points as of January 4, 2004 (i.e., an increase from the Company's actual interest rate of 5.34% at April 3, 2004 to 6.34%) would have resulted in an increase in interest expense of approximately $0.1 million for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2004. A hypothetical adverse change in interest rates of 100 basis points would not have had any effect on interest related to the Senior Notes, as the interest rate on the Senior Notes is fixed at 8 7/8% per annum.

Foreign Exchange Risk

The Company has foreign currency exposures related to buying, selling and financing in currencies other than the functional currency in which it operates. These exposures are primarily concentrated in the Canadian dollar, Mexican peso, British pound and the euro.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company's management, led by the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
