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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:    Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks, demand deposits and investments in short-term marketable securities with maturities of 90 days or less.

Periods Covered:     The period April 4, 2004 to July 3, 2004 (the "Three Months Ended July 3, 2004") and the period January 4, 2004 to July 3, 2004 (the "Six Months Ended July 3, 2004") contained thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks, respectively, of operations of the Successor. The period April 6, 2003 to July 5, 2003 (the "Three Months Ended July 5, 2003") and the period February 5, 2003 to July 5, 2003 contained thirteen weeks and twenty-two weeks, respectively, of operations of the Successor. 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 change in classification 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), $945 ($0.02 per share), $567 ($0.01 per share) and $567 ($0.01 per share) for the period February 5, 2003 to April 5, 2003, for the period February 5, 2003 to July 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 during the Six Months Ended July 3, 2004 was equal to the quoted yield for five-year U.S. treasury bonds as of the date of grant.

During the Six Months Ended July 3, 2004, the Company granted, net of cancellations, 1,015,700 stock options and 170,950 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 anniversary of the grant date 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:

The restructuring charges related to the continuation of activities commenced in prior periods associated with the closure and consolidation of certain facilities, the January 2004 sale of the Company's manufacturing facility in Honduras and 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 guaranteed open purchase order obligations to certain suppliers of the buyer. The Company's obligation to enter into such guarantees expired on July 1, 2004 but may, under certain circumstances, be extended by the Company. 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 the related 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 guaranties existing at July 3, 2004 was $3,092. The estimated fair value of the guaranties was not material to the Company's financial statements at July 3, 2004.

Discontinued Operations:    During the Three Months Ended July 3, 2004 and the Six Months Ended July 3, 2004, the Company recorded, as a component of income (loss) from discontinued operations, a net restructuring gain of $120 and restructuring charges of $3,331, respectively, 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. The net gain of $120 for the Three Months Ended July 3, 2004 is comprised of restructuring expenses of $342 offset by reductions of $389 and $73 related to better than anticipated lease termination settlements with landlords and a higher than expected realization on the disposition of inventory, respectively. During the Three Months Ended July 5, 2003 and for the period February 5, 2003 to July 5, 2003, the Company recorded, as a component of income (loss) from discontinued operations, restructuring charges of $116.

The provision for income taxes of $9,787 for the period February 5, 2003 to July 5, 2003 consists of an income tax expense of $2,800 on domestic earnings and $6,987 on foreign earnings.

The Company has not provided for any tax benefit for certain foreign losses incurred during the Three Months Ended July 3, 2004 and the Three Months Ended July 5, 2003 where it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the income tax benefit for these losses.

During the Three Months Ended July 5, 2003, the Company increased its valuation allowance by $33,448 and reduced its deferred tax asset by $5,717 to an amount that will, more likely than not, be realized. Both the increase in the Company's valuation allowance and the decrease in the deferred tax asset have been recorded against goodwill.

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 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.

In December 2003, the Medicine Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the "Act") was passed and signed into law. The Act provides for the reimbursement of certain costs related to prescription drug benefits to sponsors of post retirement healthcare plans that provide prescription drug benefits to retirees. The Company's accumulated benefit obligation and net periodic benefit cost related to post retirement healthcare benefits do not reflect any amount associated with reimbursement the Company may ultimately be entitled to. The Company is in the process of evaluating whether benefits available to participants are eligible for reimbursement under the Act. The Company may amend its existing plans so that benefits payable to participants qualify for reimbursement under the Act. These determinations, when made, may require the Company to change its previously reported post retirement obligation and the amount of expense recognized for post retirement benefit obligations in prior or future periods.

Note 12—Debt

Debt was as follows:


  July 3,

8 7/8% Senior Notes due 2013 (a) $ 210,000   $ 210,000  
Capital lease obligations   913     1,132  
  $ 210,913   $ 211,132  
(a) The Company was in compliance with the covenants of the Senior Notes at July 3, 2004 and January 3, 2004. 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% (5.97% at July 3, 2004 and 5.34% at January 3, 2004). As a result of the Swap Agreement, the weighted average effective interest rate of the Senior Notes was reduced to 8.18% as of July 3, 2004 and 8.03% as of January 3, 2004. The Swap Agreement expires on June 15, 2013 (the date on which the Senior Notes mature). The Company designated the Swap Agreement as a hedge against the changes in fair value of $50,000 aggregate principal amount of the $210,000 aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes outstanding. As of July 3, 2004 and January 3, 2004, the fair value of the Swap Agreement was a loss of $865 and $536, respectively, offset by a corresponding gain on the hedged debt. No hedge ineffectiveness is recognized in the consolidated condensed statements of operations as the provisions of the Swap Agreement match the provisions of the hedged debt.

On November 12, 2003, the Exit Financing Facility was amended to: (i) modify certain definitions and covenants; (ii) permit certain asset sales; (iii) permit the use of cash balances to fund acquisitions; and (iv) allow the Company to repurchase up to $10,000 of the Company's outstanding Senior Notes.

On August 1, 2004, the Exit Financing Facility was further amended to: (i) reduce the maximum available borrowings from $275,000 to $175,000; (ii) permit the Company to upsize the maximum available borrowings by up to $150,000; (iii) increase the amount of indebtedness and liens the Company can incur to $10,000 in each instance; (iv) increase the Company's ability to make investments in foreign subsidiaries to $10,000; (v) permit investments in investment grade securities; (vi) allow the Company to pay dividends, repurchase indebtedness and repurchase common stock in an aggregate of $50,000, provided that after such payment or repurchases the Company has $50,000 of

"cash on hand" (as defined in the Exit Financing Facility); and (vii) permit the cash portion of asset sales to be as low as fifty percent of the total sales price (the remainder to be paid by note), provided that there are no borrowings outstanding under the Exit Financing Facility.

The Company's ability to pay dividends, repurchase indebtedness and repurchase common stock is limited by certain provisions of the indenture governing the Senior Notes.

As of July 3, 2004, the Company had approximately $145,608 of cash and cash equivalents available as collateral against outstanding letters of credit of $76,587, cash in foreign operations of $17,082 and had $263,938 of credit available under its Exit Financing Facility. The Company was in compliance with the covenants of the Exit Financing Facility at July 3, 2004 and January 3, 2004.

Note 13—Preferred Stock

The Company has authorized an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, of which 112,500 shares are designated as Series A preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. There are no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.

Options to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price greater than the average market price of the underlying shares are anti-dilutive and therefore not included in the computation of diluted income per common share from continuing operations. In addition, the effect of all potentially dilutive securities has been excluded from the computation of loss per common share for the Three Months Ended July 5, 2003 because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. Dilutive securities at July 5, 2003 included 2,608,000 employee stock options and 652,000 shares of unvested restricted stock.

Note 16—Legal Matters

SEC Investigation:    As previously disclosed, the Company has reached a settlement with the SEC on the 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, for the second and third quarters of fiscal 2003 and for the period February 5, 2003 to July 5, 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. 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.

As a result of the restatement, the Company recorded a non-cash amortization charge of $567, or $0.01 of net income per diluted share, and $945, or $0.02 of net income per diluted share, for the Three Months Ended July 5, 2003 and for the period February 5, 2003 to July 5, 2003, respectively. The Company notes that due to this restatement, its previously filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended July 5, 2003 should not be relied upon by investors and should be read in conjunction with the restated results appearing in 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.

(a) The Company emerged from bankruptcy on February 4, 2003, and therefore the prior year results of the Successor are for the five-month period commencing February 5, 2003 and ending July 5, 2003. For that period, income from continuing operations was $14.6 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, and net income was $13.2 million, or $0.29 per diluted share.

Net revenues increased $12.8 million, or 4.0%, to $332.1 million for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2004, compared to $319.3 million for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2003. Revenue gains in the Swimwear and Sportswear Groups were partially offset by a decline in the Intimate Apparel Group's net revenues. Calvin Klein jeans reported increased revenue and Chaps continued its positive performance from the first quarter. In the Intimate Apparel Group, Calvin Klein underwear net revenues increased. The Company's Warner's, Olga, Body Nancy Ganz/Bodyslimmers ("Warner's/Olga/Body") brands remain challenged as management continues its efforts to reposition these brands. Initial shipments of the Company's JLO by Jennifer Lopez® brand intimate apparel were made in July 2004. The Company continues to increase its distribution of Calvin Klein underwear in Asia and Europe through expansion of its wholesale distribution business and its Calvin Klein underwear retail business.

Net revenues decreased $17.5 million, or 2.4%, to $725.3 million for the First Half of Fiscal 2004 compared to $742.8 million in the First Half of Fiscal 2003. The decrease was in line with the Company's expectations. The decrease in net revenues primarily reflects declines in Warner's/Olga/Body, Calvin Klein jeans and mass sportswear licensing (due to the sale of the White Stag® trademark in December 2003), partially offset by increases in Calvin Klein underwear, Lejaby, Chaps and Swimwear. The Company notes that net revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 benefited from the timing of certain Calvin Klein jeans shipments of approximately $21.8 million to certain membership clubs and off-price retailers. As noted above, the sales trend in Calvin Klein jeans has improved in the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2004. The Company believes that the strong turnaround in Calvin Klein jeans reflects reinvigorated designs and extended product offerings.

Gross profit was $103.4 million, or 31.1% of net revenues, for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2004 compared to $90.3 million, or 28.3% of net revenues, for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2003. An improved mix of regular to off-price sales contributed to the 280 basis point rise in gross profit as a percentage of net revenues.

Gross profit was $244.9 million, or 33.8% of net revenues, for the First Half of Fiscal 2004 compared to $244.4 million, or 32.9% of net revenues, for the First Half of Fiscal 2003. An improved mix of regular to off-price sales contributed to the 90 basis point rise in gross profit as a percentage of net revenues.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $89.2 million, or 26.8% of net revenues, for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2004 compared to $88.4 million, or 27.7% of net revenues, for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2003. The Company continues to invest in the marketing of new and existing brands. During the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2004, the Company incurred an additional $1.8 million for marketing spend over the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2003 to support, among other efforts, ongoing Calvin Klein jeans, Lejaby and Speedo marketing programs as well as the launches of Choice Calvin Klein, Sensual Support and Chaps denim.

SG&A expenses were $184.8 million, or 25.5% of net revenues, for the First Half of Fiscal 2004 compared to $184.9 million, or 24.9% of net revenues, for the First Half of Fiscal 2003. During the First Half of Fiscal 2004 the Company incurred an additional $2.0 million for marketing spend over the First Half of Fiscal 2003 to support the above-mentioned marketing programs and launches.

Net income increased to $4.4 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2004 compared to a net loss of $9.0 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2003, primarily as a result of increased net revenues, lower restructuring related expenses in the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2004 and lower amortization expense related to sales order backlog recorded upon the adoption of fresh start accounting on February 4, 2003.

Net income for the First Half of Fiscal 2004 was $24.7 million, or $0.53 per diluted share. The Company emerged from bankruptcy on February 4, 2003, and therefore the prior year results of the Successor are for the five-month period commencing February 5, 2003 and ending July 5, 2003. For that period, net income was $13.2 million, or $0.29 per diluted share.

The Company's balance sheet improved in part due to a decrease in inventory of $51.5 million, or 18.4%, from $279.8 million at January 3, 2004 to $228.3 million at July 3, 2004. The decrease in

33




inventory was due to the seasonal sale of Swimwear products in the first quarter of 2004, the sale of the Company's remaining Intimate Apparel manufacturing operations and improved inventory management. Cash increased by $109.2 million, or 204%, to $162.7 million at July 3, 2004 compared to $53.5 million at January 3, 2004.

The Company continues to improve its cash flow through more efficient operations. Cash flow provided by operating activities improved $28.4 million in the First Half of Fiscal 2004 compared to the First Half of Fiscal 2003 primarily due to better working capital management, the decrease in cash expenditures for bankruptcy-related fees and a reduction in cash payments related to 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 $263.9 million of credit available under its $275 million Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (the "Exit Financing Facility") and had $162.7 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand at July 3, 2004.

During the Second 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.

During the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2004, the Company continued the following initiatives:

•  Restructuring initiatives begun in fiscal 2003.    In the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2004, the Company: (i) ceased all remaining operations related to its 44 Speedo Authentic Fitness retail stores and, (ii) on May 21, 2004, entered into an agreement to license the Warner's trademark in Europe.
•  Internal control and corporate oversight initiatives.    The Company has engaged BDO Seidman LLP to assist it in completing its documentation and testing of 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 recruit and hire talented individuals for the organization and its Board of Directors.

    Risks and Uncertainties

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.

The Company has foreign currency exposures related to buying, selling and financing in currencies other than the United States dollar. These exposures are primarily related to the Company's operations in Canada, Mexico and Europe. These operations accounted for approximately 25% of the Company's net revenues for the Three Months and Six Months Ended July 3, 2004.

The Company's exposure to changes in interest rates is mitigated because the Company does not have any borrowings outstanding under the Exit Financing Facility and the interest rate on the Senior Notes is fixed. The Company's exposure to changes in interest rates is limited to changes in short-term interest rates related to the Company's $50 million interest rate swap agreement. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Capital Resources and Liquidity" for a discussion of the Company's interest rate swap agreement.

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

34




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, reorganization items 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 July 3, 2004, the Company had inventory with a carrying value of approximately $39.8 million that was potentially excess and/or obsolete. Based upon the estimated recoveries related to such inventory, as of July 3, 2004, the Company had reduced the carrying value of such inventory by $22.7 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. The carrying value of the Company's inventories was adjusted to fair value at February 4, 2003 in connection with the adoption of fresh start accounting.

Second Quarter

Intimate Apparel Group net revenues decreased $3.1 million, or 2.3%, to $128.4 million for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2004 from $131.5 million for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2003. Warner's/Olga/Body net revenues decreased $10.5 million, or 24.2%, to $32.9 million for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2004, from $43.5 million for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2003, reflecting a decrease in the rate of product reorders.

Calvin Klein underwear net revenues increased $5.4 million, or 9.0%, to $65.2 million for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2004, from $59.8 million for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2003 primarily reflecting a $3.3 million and $1.8 million increase in net revenues in Europe and the United States, respectively. The increase in net revenues in Europe reflects growth in both the men's and women's underwear business coupled with the positive impact of a stronger euro. The increase in Calvin Klein underwear net revenues in the United States reflects an increase in gross shipments and a decrease in sales allowances and returns. The Company believes the growth in both the men's and women's underwear business is due to improvements and innovations in product design and an increase in marketing spend. Lejaby net revenues increased $3.0 million, or 12.3%, to $27.8 million for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2004, from $24.8 million for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2003, reflecting an increase of $1.0 million in net revenues related to the launch of Lejaby Rose in March 2004 in the United States coupled with an increase of $2.0 million in Europe. The increase in Lejaby net revenues in Europe primarily reflects the positive impact of a stronger euro of $1.6 million and an increase of $0.4 million related to shipments.

First Half

Intimate Apparel Group net revenues decreased $8.7 million, or 3.1%, to $269.5 million for the First Half of Fiscal 2004 from $278.3 million for the First Half of Fiscal 2003.

As noted above, management is in the process of repositioning the Warner's/Olga/Body brands and has eliminated certain unprofitable styles. Additionally, in March 2004, the Company presented a new line of lingerie under the JLO by Jennifer Lopez brand name. Initial sales of JLO by Jennifer Lopez lingerie commenced in July 2004. Calvin Klein underwear net revenues increased $11.1 million, or 8.7%, to $139.1 million for the First Half of Fiscal 2004, from $128.0 million for the First Half of Fiscal 2003, reflecting a $9.1 million and $2.4 million increase in net revenues in Europe and the United States, respectively, offset by a $0.4 million combined decrease in net revenues in Canada and Asia. The increase in net revenues in Europe reflects growth in both the men's and women's underwear business coupled with the positive impact of a stronger euro. The Company experienced increases in shipments of both men's and women's underwear sales in the United States of approximately $3.8 million partially offset by an increase in sales allowances and returns of approximately $1.4 million.

39




The Company believes the increase in sales volumes is a result of improvements and innovations in product design and an increase in marketing spend. Lejaby net revenues increased $3.1 million, or 5.6%, to $59.8 million for the First Half of Fiscal 2004, from $56.7 million for the First Half of Fiscal 2003, reflecting an increase of $1.8 million in net revenues related to the launch of Lejaby Rose in March 2004 in the United States and an increase in net revenues of $1.3 million in Europe. The increase in Lejaby net revenues in Europe primarily reflects the positive effect of a stronger euro of $5.6 million partially offset by a decrease of $4.3 million in shipments.

Second Quarter

Sportswear Group net revenues increased by $8.7 million, or 10.5%, to $91.6 million for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2004 from $82.9 million from the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2003. Chaps net revenues increased $3.7 million, or 14.5%, to $29.0 million for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2004 from $25.3 million for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2003, reflecting an increase of $4.9 million and $0.2 million in the United States and Mexico, respectively, partially offset by a decrease of $1.4 million in Canada. The increase in Chaps domestic net revenues includes $3.8 million of net revenues related to the launch of the new denim line in June 2004 and an increase in department store sales of $1.1 million. Calvin Klein jeans net revenues increased $6.4 million in the United States and Mexico, partially offset by a decrease of $0.4 million in Canada, resulting in a total net increase of $6.0 million, or 11.5%, to $58.3 million for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2004 from $52.3 million for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2003. The increase in net revenues in the United States ($3.2 million) primarily relates to a reduction in sales and markdown allowances which management believes is the result of reinvigorated designs and extended product offerings. The increase in Mexico ($3.2 million) relates to volume increases in sales of certain men's basic lines to department stores coupled with increased sales to membership clubs. Mass sportswear licensing net revenues decreased $1.4 million, or 40.0%, to $2.1 million for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2004 from $3.4 million for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2003. This decrease in licensing revenues reflects the sale of the White Stag trademark to Wal-Mart in December 2003.

First Half

Sportswear net revenues declined by $22.8 million, or 10.8%, to $188.4 million for the First Half of Fiscal 2004 from $211.2 million from the First Half of Fiscal 2003. Chaps net revenues increased $2.5 million, or 4.2%, to $61.3 million for the First Half of Fiscal 2004 from $58.8 million for the First Half of Fiscal 2003, reflecting an increase of $3.2 million and $0.1 million in the United States and Mexico, respectively, partially offset by a decrease of $0.8 million in Canada. The increase in Chaps domestic net revenues includes $3.8 million of net revenues related to the launch of a new denim line in June 2004 coupled with an increase in department store sales of $2.2 million, partially offset by a decrease of $2.8 million in sales to military base exchanges in the United States.

revenues decreased $22.9 million, or 16.5%, to $116.2 million for the First Half of Fiscal 2004 from $139.1 million for the First Half of Fiscal 2003 due to a $26.5 million and $0.4 million decrease in net revenues in the United States and Canada, respectively, partially offset by an increase in net revenues of $4.0 in Mexico. The decrease in net revenues in the United States reflects a reduction in sales volume of approximately $34.0 million primarily attributable to a decline in department store sales and a planned reduction of sales to low margin off-price channels. This reduction in net revenues in the United States was partially offset by better sales and markdown allowances, primarily in the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2004, of approximately $7.5 million which management believes is the result of reinvigorated designs and extended product offerings. The increase in Mexico net revenues relates to volume increases in sales of certain men's basic lines to department stores coupled with increased sales to membership clubs. Mass sportswear licensing net revenues decreased $3.5 million, or 44.9%, to $4.3 million for the First Half of Fiscal 2004, from $7.7 million for the First Half of Fiscal 2003. This decrease reflects the sale of the White Stag trademark to Wal-Mart in December 2003.

Second Quarter

Swimwear Group net revenues increased $7.2 million, or 6.8%, to $112.1 million for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2004 from $105.0 million for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2003. Speedo net revenues increased $10.0 million, or 16.1%, to $72.1 million for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2004 from $62.1 million for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2003. The increase in Speedo net revenues reflects increased sales volumes, primarily in the off-price channel, of approximately $5.2 million and increases in sales of approximately $2.3 million across all other channels coupled with a reduction of $2.5 million in sales allowances and returns. Management believes the reduction in sales allowances and returns is due to the poor weather conditions that prevailed during the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2003, which resulted in higher than anticipated sales allowances and returns in that year. Designer Swimwear net revenues decreased $3.1 million, or 7.5%, to $38.5 million for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2004 from $41.6 million for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2003, reflecting a net decrease in sales volumes of $1.4 million coupled with less favorable sales allowances and returns of $1.7 million. The net decrease in sales volumes primarily related to a decrease in sales of Catalina swimwear to Wal-Mart partially offset by increases in sales to Target and increases in the Company's Nautica line of swimwear (which was introduced in the second half of fiscal 2003). The decrease in sales of Catalina swimwear to Wal-Mart was primarily due to the timing of certain sales that occurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2004, while comparable sales occurred in the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2003.

First Half

Swimwear Group net revenues increased $14.1 million, or 5.6%, to $267.4 million for the First Half of Fiscal 2004, from $253.3 million for the First Half of Fiscal 2003. Speedo net revenues increased $6.3 million, or 3.9%, to $170.1 million for the First Half of Fiscal 2004, from $163.8 million for the First Half of Fiscal 2003. The increase in Speedo net revenues reflects a moderate increase in sales volumes of $0.7 million coupled with better sales allowances and returns experience of $5.6 million. The $0.7 million increase in sales reflects an increase in off-price sales of $5.1 million, partially

41




offset by a decrease of $14.1 million in sales to membership clubs coupled with a net increase of $9.7 million across all other channels. Designer Swimwear net revenues increased $7.5 million, or 8.5%, to $94.7 million for the First Half of Fiscal 2004 from $87.3 million for the First Half of Fiscal 2003, primarily reflecting an increase of $7.1 million related to a new private label swimwear program with Target.

Gross profit for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2004 includes approximately $1.9 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 increased $0.6 million, or 1.3%, to $46.2 million for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2004 from $45.7 million for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2003 reflecting a favorable regular to off-price sales mix of $4.3 million partially offset by less favorable production and manufacturing variances of $3.7 million. Gross margin increased from 34.7% for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2003 to 36.0% for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2004, primarily reflecting an improved regular to off-price sales mix coupled with a reduction in allowances and markdowns as a percentage of net revenues of 410 basis points.

Gross margin increased from 14.7% for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2003 to 26.5% for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2004.

Swimwear Group gross profit increased $0.4 million, or 1.2%, to $32.9 million for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2004 from $32.5 million for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2003 reflecting sales volume increases primarily in the off-price channel. Gross margin decreased from 31.0% for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2003 to 29.3% for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2004 due to a less favorable regular to off-price sales mix, as noted above.

First Half

Gross profit increased $0.6 million, or 0.2%, to $244.9 million (33.8% of net revenues) for the First Half of Fiscal 2004 from $244.4 million (32.9% of net revenues) for the First Half of Fiscal 2003, primarily reflecting improved performance in Sportswear partially offset by weakness in Intimate Apparel.

Intimate Apparel Group gross profit decreased $3.6 million, or 3.6%, to $97.5 million for the First Half of Fiscal 2004 from $101.1 million for the First Half of Fiscal 2003, reflecting a favorable regular

42




to off-price sales mix of $1.5 million offset by less favorable production and manufacturing variances of $5.1 million. Gross margin decreased from 36.3% for the First Half of Fiscal 2003 to 36.2% for the First Half of Fiscal 2004. The decrease in gross profit and gross margin primarily reflects the effect of lower sales volumes in Warner's/Olga/Body, which also resulted in production and sourcing inefficiencies, partially offset by strength in Calvin Klein underwear due to increased sales volume and a favorable regular to off-price sales mix.

Sportswear Group gross profit increased $3.8 million, or 7.6%, to $53.8 million for the First Half of Fiscal 2004 from $50.0 million for the First Half of Fiscal 2003.

Swimwear Group gross profit increased $0.2 million, or 0.3%, to $93.6 million for the First Half of Fiscal 2004 from $93.4 million for the First Half of Fiscal 2003, reflecting sales volume increases primarily in the off-price channel. Gross margin decreased from 36.8% for the First Half of Fiscal 2003 to 35.0% for the First Half of Fiscal 2004 primarily due to a less favorable regular to off-price sales mix.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Second Quarter

SG&A expenses increased $0.7 million, or 1.0%, to $89.2 million (26.9% of net revenues) for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2004 from $88.4 million (27.7% of net revenues) for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2003 reflecting a planned increase of $2.8 million in selling and marketing expenses reflecting the Company's investment in the marketing of new and existing brands, partially offset by a net decrease of $2.1 in administrative expenses. The decrease in administrative expenses in the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2004 reflects approximately $2.7 million in legal and professional fees and certain employee-related costs incurred in the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2003 that were not incurred in the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2004, which costs were associated with the Company's emergence from bankruptcy on February 4, 2003, as well as other net administrative cost savings of $0.9 million. This decrease in administrative expenses was partially offset by an increase of $1.5 million related to the documentation and testing of the Company's internal control procedures in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related rules and regulations. SG&A expenses for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2004 include approximately $1.2 million related to the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, primarily as a result of a stronger euro and Canadian dollar.

First Half

SG&A expenses decreased $0.1 million, or 1.0%, to $184.8 million (25.5% of net revenues) for the First Half of Fiscal 2004 from $184.9 million (24.9% of net revenues) for the First Half of Fiscal 2003, reflecting a planned increase of $3.1 million in selling and marketing expenses reflecting the Company's investment in new and existing brands, offset by a decrease of $3.2 in administrative expenses. The decrease in administrative expenses in the First Half of Fiscal 2004 reflects approximately $4.0 million in legal and professional fees and certain employee-related costs incurred in the First Half of Fiscal 2003 that were not incurred in the First Half of Fiscal 2004, which costs were associated with the Company's emergence from bankruptcy on February 4, 2003, as well as other net administrative cost savings of $1.8 million. This decrease in administrative expenses was partially offset by an increase of $2.0 million related to the documentation and testing of the Company's internal control procedures in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related rules and regulations and an increase of $0.6 million in stock-based compensation expenses.

Second Quarter

Intimate Apparel Group operating income decreased $1.8 million to $8.3 million (6.5% of Intimate Apparel net revenues) for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2004 compared to operating income of $10.1 million (7.7% of Intimate Apparel net revenues) for the Second 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 $2.3 million decrease in Warner's/Olga/Body operating income reflects the decline in Warner's/Olga/Body gross profit of $5.6 million as a result of the decrease in net revenues, partially offset by a decrease of $3.3 million in SG&A expenses due to cost cutting initiatives undertaken by management in 2004. Management is in the process of repositioning the Warner's/Olga/Body brands. The decrease in Lejaby operating income of $2.3 million primarily reflects a $3.3 million increase in SG&A expenses, primarily related to an increase in marketing costs of $2.3 million associated with a new European advertising campaign, offset by a $1.0 million increase in gross profit. The $2.6 million increase in Calvin Klein underwear operating income reflects a $5.3 million increase in gross profit as a result of increased net revenues and the positive effect of a stronger euro, partially offset by a $2.7 million increase in SG&A expenses related to the increase in sales volumes and a stronger euro. Operating income as a percentage of Calvin Klein underwear net revenues increased from 12.4% for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2003 to 15.4% for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2004 due to a 510 basis point increase in gross margin coupled with a decrease in SG&A expenses as a percentage of Calvin Klein underwear net revenues of 200 basis points related to efficiencies realized as a result of the growth in Calvin Klein underwear net revenues.

First Half

Intimate Apparel Group operating income decreased $6.2 million to $21.5 million (8.0% of Intimate Apparel net revenues) for the First Half of Fiscal 2004 compared to operating income of $27.7 million (10.0% of Intimate Apparel net revenues) for the First Half 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 $8.2 million decrease in Warner's/Olga/Body operating income reflects a decline in Warner's/Olga/Body gross profit of $12.0 million as a result of a decrease in net revenues, partially offset by a decrease of $3.7 million in SG&A expenses due to cost cutting initiatives undertaken by management in 2004. However, as a percentage of net revenues, SG&A expenses increased from approximately 24.5% in the First Half of Fiscal 2003 to approximately 26.8% in the First Half of Fiscal 2004. A portion of the above-mentioned

47




percentage increase relates to costs of approximately $1.2 million associated with the Company's new line of JLO by Jennifer Lopez lingerie. Initial shipments of JLO by Jennifer Lopez lingerie were made in July 2004. Management is in the process of repositioning the Warner's/Olga/Body brands. The decrease in Lejaby operating income of $3.8 million reflects a $4.5 million increase in SG&A expenses, primarily related to increased marketing costs of approximately $2.0 million associated with a new European advertising campaign and costs of approximately $1.1 million related to the launch of LejabyRose, offset by a $0.7 million increase in gross profit as a result of the increase in net revenues. The $5.4 million increase in Calvin Klein underwear operating income reflects a $7.9 million increase in gross profit as a result of increased net revenues and the positive effect of a stronger euro, partially offset by a $2.5 million increase in SG&A expenses related primarily to the increase in sales volumes and the effect of a stronger euro. Operating income as a percentage of Calvin Klein underwear net revenues increased from 13.0% for the First Half of Fiscal 2003 to 15.9% for the First Half of Fiscal 2004 due primarily to a 2.7% increase in gross margin as a result of the growth in Calvin Klein underwear net revenues.

Sportswear Group operating income increased $13.5 million to $8.2 million (8.9% of Sportswear net revenues) for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2004 from an operating loss of $5.4 million (–6.5% of Sportswear net revenues) for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2003, reflecting increases in Calvin Klein jeans, Chaps and Calvin Klein accessories, partially offset by a decrease in mass sportswear licensing. The increase of $2.5 million in Chaps operating income reflects an increase of $1.4 million in gross profit coupled with a $1.1 million reduction in SG&A expenses. The improvement in SG&A expenses includes a reduction of $0.3 million in marketing expenses due to the timing of certain marketing programs which will be incurred in the third quarter of fiscal 2004. The increase of $12.0 million in Calvin Klein jeans operating income reflects an increase in gross profit of $11.5 million due to an increase in net revenues primarily as a result of a favorable sales mix and better markdown and allowance experience. The Calvin Klein jeans business also experienced a reduction of $0.5 million in SG&A expenses primarily related to a decrease in warehouse and distribution expenses as a result of relocating its distribution center in 2003 from a third-party operated facility to the Company's facility in Duncansville, Pennsylvania. The increase of $0.6 million in Calvin Klein accessories operating income resulted primarily from growth in Europe. The decrease in operating income of mass sportswear licensing is primarily attributable to the sale of the White Stag trademark in December 2003.

First Half

Sportswear Group operating income increased $8.3 million, or 68.0%, to $20.5 million (10.9% of Sportswear net revenues) for the First Half of Fiscal 2004 compared to operating income of $12.2 million (5.8% of Sportswear net revenues) for the First Half of Fiscal 2003, reflecting increases in Calvin Klein jeans, Chaps and Calvin Klein accessories, partially offset by decreases in mass

48




sportswear licensing. The increase of $3.0 million in Chaps operating income reflects an increase in gross profit of $1.5 million due to an increase in net revenues coupled with a $1.5 million reduction in SG&A expenses. The improvement in SG&A expenses includes a reduction of $0.7 million in marketing expenses due to the timing of certain marketing programs which will be incurred in the third quarter of fiscal 2004. The increase of $8.3 million in Calvin Klein jeans operating income reflects an increase in gross profit of $5.2 million due primarily to a favorable sales mix and better markdown and allowance experience coupled with a reduction of $3.1 million in SG&A expenses, primarily related to a decrease in warehouse and distribution expenses as a result of relocating its distribution center in 2003 from a third-party operated facility to the Company's facility in Duncansville, Pennsylvania. The increase of $1.0 million in Calvin Klein accessories operating income resulted primarily from growth in sales volume in Europe. The decrease in operating income of mass sportswear licensing reflects the sale of the White Stag trademark in December 2003.

Second Quarter

Swimwear Group operating income increased $5.2 million, or 51.9%, to $15.2 million (13.5% of Swimwear net revenues) for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2004 compared to operating income of $10.0 million (9.5% of net revenues) for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2003, primarily reflecting an increase of $0.4 million in gross profit as a result of increased net revenues coupled with a decrease in SG&A expenses of $4.8 million. The decrease in SG&A expenses primarily reflects reduced amortization expenses of $4.2 million related to the sales order backlog coupled with cost savings of $0.6 million.

First Half

Swimwear Group operating income increased $5.0 million, or 10.6%, to $52.1 million (19.5% of Swimwear net revenues) for the First Half of Fiscal 2004 compared to operating income of $47.1 million (18.6% of net revenues) for the First Half of Fiscal 2003 primarily reflecting an increase of $0.3 million in gross profit as a result of increased net revenues coupled with a decrease in SG&A expenses of $4.7 million. The decrease in SG&A expenses reflects reduced amortization expenses of $7.1 million related to the sales order backlog partially offset by increases in marketing expenses and volume related selling expenses.

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

The First Half 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 cash equivalents 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 Second Quarter of Fiscal 2004 and First Half of Fiscal 2004 primarily reflects gains of $0.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively, on the current portion of inter-company

49




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 Second Quarter of Fiscal 2003 and the First Half of Fiscal 2003 reflects realized losses on sales of marketable securities.

Interest Expense, Net

Second Quarter

Interest expense decreased $0.5 million, or 8.6%, to $5.0 million for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2004 from $5.5 million for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2003. Interest expense in the Second 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 the benefit of approximately $0.4 million from the Swap Agreement, as described below), unused commitment fees and letters of credit charges of $0.6 million related to the Exit Financing Facility, amortization of deferred financing fees of $0.6 million and other items of $0.1 million, offset by interest income of $0.5 million. Interest income primarily reflects income earned on the note receivable relating to the sale of White Stag and income earned on excess cash balances. Interest expense for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2003 includes interest on the New Warnaco Second Lien Notes due 2008 ("Second Lien Notes") of $3.5 million, interest on the Exit Financing Facility of approximately $0.8 million, interest on the Senior Notes of $1.2 million and amortization of deferred financing fees of $0.4 million, partially offset by interest income of $0.4 million.

First Half

Interest expense decreased $1.4 million, or 11.3%, to $10.1 million for the First Half of Fiscal 2004 from $11.5 million for the First Half of Fiscal 2003. Interest expense in the First Half of Fiscal 2004 included interest on the Company's 8 7/8% Senior Notes due 2013 ("Senior Notes") of $8.4 million (net of the benefit of approximately $0.8 million from the Swap Agreement, as described below), unused commitment fees and letters of credit charges of $1.1 million related to the Exit Financing Facility and deferred financing fees and other items of $1.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively, offset by interest income of $1.0 million. Interest income primarily reflects income earned on the note receivable relating to the sale of White Stag and income earned on excess cash balances. Interest expense for the First Half of Fiscal 2003 includes interest on foreign debt for one month of $0.9 million, interest on the Second Lien Notes of $6.7 million, interest on the Exit Financing Facility of $1.8 million, interest on the Senior Notes of approximately $1.2 million and amortization of deferred financing fees of $1.0, partially offset by interest income of approximately $0.1 million.

Income Taxes

Second Quarter

The provision for income taxes of $3.9 million for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2004 consists of an income tax expense of $0.4 million on domestic earnings and $3.5 million on foreign earnings. The income tax benefit of $6.4 million for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2003 consists of an income tax benefit of $9.7 million on domestic losses partially offset by an income tax expense of $3.3 million on foreign earnings. The Company has not provided for any tax benefit for certain foreign losses incurred during the Second 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.

First Half

The provision for income taxes of $19.6 million for the First Half of Fiscal 2004 consists of an income tax expense of $9.3 million on domestic earnings and $10.3 million on foreign earnings. The provision for income taxes for the First Half of Fiscal 2003 of $87.9 million reflects accrued income taxes of $2.8 million on domestic earnings and $7.5 million on foreign earnings, as well as deferred income taxes of $77.6 million related to the increase in asset values recorded as part of the Company's adoption of fresh start reporting. The Company recorded a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets created in the First Half of Fiscal 2003 as a result of the fresh start adjustments, as well as against certain foreign net operating losses, to the amount that will, more likely than not, be realized.

50




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.

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 $15.4 million in cash plus the assumption of $2.0 million in liabilities. In the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company recorded a loss related to the sale of its ABS business unit of $3.1 million which was included in loss from discontinued operations. The loss included an impairment charge of $3.0 million, 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 $15.2 million.

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 July 3, 2004, the Company had ceased all operations related to its 44 stores. During the First Half of Fiscal 2004, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $2.3 million, included as part of loss from discontinued operations, related to future operating lease commitments and landlord settlements, net of possible sublease rental income.

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. On May 21, 2004, the Company entered into a licensing agreement for its Warner's business in Europe. According to the terms of the agreement, the licensee is not required to pay minimum royalties until fiscal 2007.

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 aggregate principal amount 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 Group 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

51




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 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 July 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 guarantors 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% (5.97% at July 3, 2004). As a result of the Swap Agreement, the weighted average effective interest rate of the Senior Notes was reduced to 8.18% as of July 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 July 3, 2004, the fair value of the Swap Agreement was a loss of $0.9 million, which is offset by a corresponding gain 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% (5.50% at July 3, 2004) or at LIBOR plus 2.25% (approximately 3.85% at July 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

52




material additional indebtedness. As of July 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 July 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 $145.6 million of cash and cash equivalents available as collateral against outstanding letters of credit of $76.6 million. At July 3, 2004, the Company had $263.9 million of credit available under the Exit Financing Facility.

On November 12, 2003, the Exit Financing Facility was amended to: (i) modify certain definitions and covenants; (ii) permit certain asset sales; (iii) permit the use of cash balances to fund acquisitions; and (iv) allow the Company to repurchase up to $10 million of the Company's outstanding Senior Notes.

On August 1, 2004, the Exit Financing Facility was further amended to: (i) reduce the maximum available borrowings from $275.0 million to $175.0 million; (ii) permit the Company to upsize the maximum available borrowings by up to $150.0 million; (iii) increase the amount of indebtedness and liens the Company can incur to $10.0 million in each instance; (iv) increase the Company's ability to make investments in foreign subsidiaries to $10.0 million; (v) permit investments in investment grade securities; (vi) allow the Company to pay dividends, repurchase indebtedness and repurchase common stock in an aggregate of $50.0 million, provided that after such payment or repurchases the Company has $50.0 million of "cash on hand" (as defined in the Exit Financing Facility); and (vii) permit the cash portion of asset sales to be as low as fifty percent of the total sales price (the remainder to be paid by note), provided that there are no borrowings outstanding under the Exit Financing Facility.

The Company's ability to pay dividends, repurchase indebtedness and repurchase common stock is limited by certain provisions of the indenture governing the Senior Notes.

Liquidity

As of July 3, 2004, the Company had approximately $145.6 million of cash and cash equivalents available as collateral against outstanding letters of credit of $76.6 million, approximately $17.1 million of cash in foreign subsidiaries and had approximately $263.9 million of credit available under its Exit Financing Facility. At July 3, 2004, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the Exit Financing Facility.

At July 3, 2004, the Company's total debt was $210.9 million compared to $211.1 million at January 3, 2004. Cash and cash equivalents at July 3, 2004 increased $109.2 million to $162.7 million from $53.5 million at January 3, 2004.

At July 3, 2004, the Company had working capital of $438.4 million, including $162.7 million of cash and cash equivalents.

The Company believes that cash and cash equivalents available under the Exit Financing Facility and cash and cash equivalents 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.

For the First Half of Fiscal 2004, cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $96.8 million compared to cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations of $72.9 million in the First Half of Fiscal 2003. Cash provided by operating activities in the First Half of Fiscal 2004 reflects improved operating income, improvements in inventory management and the seasonal reduction in Swimwear inventories.

For the First Half of Fiscal 2004, cash provided by investing activities from continuing operations was $17.3 million compared to cash used in investing activities from continuing operations of $6.5 million in the First Half of Fiscal 2003. Cash provided by investing activities in the First Half of Fiscal 2004 primarily reflects proceeds from the sale of the assets of the ABS business unit of $15.2 million, collection of notes receivable related to asset sales of $2.7 million (primarily related to the sale of the White Stag trademark), proceeds from the disposal of certain assets of $1.6 million and reimbursement of amounts expended for leasehold improvements of $5.3 million partially offset by capital expenditures of $7.5 million. Cash used in investing activities for the First Half of Fiscal 2003 primarily reflects capital expenditures of $6.7 million.

Cash provided by financing activities in the First Half of Fiscal 2004 reflects proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $2.4 million partially offset by the repayments of capital lease obligations of $0.2 million and the payment of deferred financing fees of $0.6 million. Cash used in financing activities in the First Half of Fiscal 2003 includes the realization of proceeds of $210.0 million from the issuance of the Senior Notes in June 2003 offset by the repayment of the principal balance of the Second Lien Notes of $200.9 million, and the payment of underwriting and professional fees associated with the issuance of the Senior Notes of approximately $7.1 million. In addition, cash used in financing activities in the First Half of Fiscal 2003 includes the payment of $106.1 million to the pre-petition lenders as part of the Company's bankruptcy settlement, lease-related debt repayments of $4.2 million and deferred financing charges of $8.3 million.

Cash flows from discontinued operations primarily reflect losses incurred by the ABS business unit, the Company's Warner's operations in Europe and the Company's 44 remaining Speedo Authentic Fitness retail stores.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company is not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements through unconsolidated limited purpose entities.

Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Disclosure

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

54




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. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. These forward-looking statements may contain the words "believe," "anticipate," "expect," "estimate," "project," "will be," "will continue," "will likely result," or other similar words and phrases. Forward-looking statements and the Company's plans and expectations are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated, and the Company's business in general is subject to certain risks that could affect the value of its stock.

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's market risk from exposure to changes in interest rates is limited because the Company did not have any borrowings outstanding under the Exit Financing Facility and the interest rate on the Company's Senior Notes is fixed. 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 5.97% at July 3, 2004 to 6.97%) would have resulted in an increase in interest expense of approximately $0.1 million for the Second 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 Company's Canadian, Mexican and European operations which accounted for approximately 25% of the Company's total net revenues for the First Half of Fiscal 2004.

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

55




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.
