Independent Auditors Review Report
Stockholders and Board of Directors
Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of
Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation as of July 31, 1994, and the related condensed
consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the 13 and 26 week
periods ended July 31, 1994 and August 1, 1993. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures
to financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial
and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit
conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, which will
be performed for the full year with the objective of expressing an opinion
regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not
express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements
referred to above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation
as of January 30, 1994, and the related consolidated statements of income,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented
herein) and in our report dated March 17, 1994, we expressed an unqualified
opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the
information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet
as of January 30, 1994, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in
relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
(In Thousands)
GENERAL
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not contain all
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. Reference should be made to the annual financial
statements, including the footnotes thereto, included in the Company's Annual
Report to Stockholders for the year ended January 30, 1994.
The results of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 31,
1994 and August 1, 1993 are not necessarily indicative of those for a full
fiscal year because of seasonal factors. The data contained in these
financial statements are unaudited and are subject to year-end adjustments;
however, in the opinion of management, all known adjustments (which consist
only of normal recurring accruals) have been made to present fairly the
consolidated operating results for the unaudited periods.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the segment information for the
thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 1993 to present that information
on a basis consistent with the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 31,
1994.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are summarized as follows:
July 31, January 30,
1994 1994
Raw materials $ 19,905 $ 16,710
Work in process 19,449 13,941
Finished goods 255,558 239,220
Total $294,912 $269,871
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost for the apparel
business is determined principally using the last-in first-out method (LIFO).
Cost for the footwear business is determined using the first-in first-out
method (FIFO). Inventories would have been $13,691 and $11,500 higher than
reported at July 31, 1994 and January 30, 1994, respectively, if the FIFO
method of inventory accounting had been used for the apparel business.
The determination of cost of sales and inventories under the LIFO method can
only be made at the end of each fiscal year based on inventory cost and
quantities on hand. Interim LIFO determinations are based on management's
estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Such estimates are
subject to revision at the end of each quarter. Since estimates of future
inventory levels and costs are subject to external factors, interim financial
results are subject to year-end LIFO inventory adjustments.

SEGMENT DATA
The Company operates in two industry segments: (i) apparel - the manufacture,
procurement for sale and marketing of a broad range of men's and women's
apparel to traditional wholesale accounts as well as through Company-owned
retail stores, and (ii) footwear - the manufacture, procurement for sale and
marketing of a broad range of men's, women's and children's shoes to
traditional wholesale accounts as well as through Company-owned retail stores.
Operating income represents net sales less operating expenses. Excluded from
operating results of the segments are interest expense, net, corporate
expenses and income taxes.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL
CONDITION
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Thirteen Weeks Ended July 31, 1994 Compared to Thirteen Weeks Ended
August 1, 1993
APPAREL
Net sales of the Company's apparel segment in the second quarter were $191.1
million in 1994 and $170.5 million last year, an increase of approximately
12.1%. Growth of the Company's retail operations and the expanded offering of
apparel in the Company's Bass stores accounted for this increase.
Operating income of the apparel segment decreased to $3.9 million in the
second quarter of 1994 from $8.0 million in the second quarter of 1993. The
12.1% increase in sales and an ongoing expense reduction program were offset
by significant costs associated with the introduction of the Company's new
"Wrinkle-Free" dress shirts and reduced margins from a generally weak dress
shirt market. The prior year's quarter also included the reversal of certain
fringe benefit accruals. In addition, the second quarter LIFO charge was $1.8
million in 1994 compared to $47,000 last year. This increase was caused, in
large part, by a 35% increase in cotton prices.
FOOTWEAR
Net sales of the Company's footwear segment, conducted through its Bass
division, were $92.6 million in the second quarter of 1994 and $93.5 million
last year, a decrease of approximately 1.0%. Increased sales of sandals were
offset by reduced sales of canvas and "Buc" shoes and the closing of several
unprofitable Bass retail stores.
Operating income of the footwear segment decreased to $10.4 million in the
second quarter of 1994 from $10.7 million in the second quarter of 1993. The
benefits from the Company's expense reduction program were offset by reduced
margins on sales to traditional wholesale customers.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Net interest expense was $3.4 million in the second quarter of 1994 compared
with $4.4 million last year. This decrease resulted from the Company's
issuance of $100 million of 7.75% Debentures due 2023 in the fourth quarter of
1993 and the use of the net proceeds to redeem higher cost long-term debt.
INCOME TAXES
Income tax was estimated at rates of 35.9% and 35.3% for the second quarter
and year of 1994 compared with last year's rates of 31.2% and 32.0% for the
second quarter and year, respectively. The increase in rates is due to
normally taxed income increasing more rapidly than tax exempt income from
operations in Puerto Rico.
-7-
CORPORATE EXPENSES
Corporate expenses were $2.1 million in the second quarter of 1994 compared to
$3.1 million in 1993. A modest increase in Corporate expenses was offset by a
reduction to the Company's unfunded supplemental savings plan liability.
Twenty-Six Weeks Ended July 31, 1994 Compared to Twenty-Six Weeks Ended
August 1, 1993
APPAREL
Net sales of the Company's apparel segment were $350.2 million during the
first six months of 1994, an increase of 10.1% from the prior year's $318.0
million. Growth of the Company's retail operations and the expanded offering
of apparel in the Company's Bass stores accounted for this increase.
Operating income of the apparel segment was $2.3 million in the six month
period, compared to $5.8 million in the prior year. The 10.1% increase in
sales and an ongoing expense reduction program were offset by significant
costs associated with the introduction of the Company's new "Wrinkle-Free"
dress shirts and reduced margins from a generally weak dress shirt market.
The prior year also included the reversal of certain fringe benefit accruals.
In addition, the current year includes a LIFO charge of $2.2 million compared
with a charge of $1.6 million in the prior year. This increase was caused, in
large part, by a 35% increase in cotton prices.
FOOTWEAR
Net sales of the Company's footwear segment were $172.4 million, an increase
of 2.7% over the prior year's $167.9 million. Increased sales of sandals were
offset, in part, by weaker sales of canvas and "Buc" shoes and the closing of
several unprofitable Bass retail stores.
Operating income of the footwear segment decreased 20.5% to $12.4 million
compared with $15.5 million in the prior year. The benefits from the
Company's expense reduction program were offset by reduced margins on sales to
traditional wholesale customers and from first quarter promotional selling in
the Company's Bass stores to remove slower moving merchandise from inventory.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Net interest expense was $6.7 million in the first half of 1994 compared with
$8.5 million last year. This decrease resulted from the Company's issuance of
$100 million of 7.75% Debentures due 2023 in the fourth quarter of 1993 and
the use of the net proceeds to redeem higher cost long-term debt.
INCOME TAXES
Income tax was estimated at a rate of 35.3% for the first half and year of
1994 compared with last year's rates of 31.5% and 32.0% for the first half and
year, respectively. The increase in rate is due to normally taxed income
increasing more rapidly than tax exempt income from operations in Puerto Rico.
-8-
CORPORATE EXPENSES
Corporate expenses were $4.6 million in the first half of 1994 compared to
$4.8 million in 1993. A modest increase in Corporate expenses was offset by a
reduction to the Company's unfunded supplemental savings plan liability.
SEASONALITY
The Company's business is seasonal, with higher sales and income during its
third and fourth fiscal quarters. This reflects primarily the Company's
significantly higher sales and operating margins during the Company's two peak
retail selling seasons: the first running from the start of the summer
vacation period in late May and continuing through September; the second being
the Christmas selling season beginning with the weekend following Thanksgiving
and continuing through the week after Christmas.
Also contributing to the strength of the third fiscal quarter is the high
volume of fall shipments to customers of each wholesale division. Fall
shipments are larger in volume and profitability than first fiscal quarter
spring shipments. The slower spring selling season at wholesale combined with
retail seasonality makes the first fiscal quarter particularly weak. As the
Company continues to expand its retail business, these seasonal differences
are expected to become more significant.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The seasonal nature of the Company's business typically requires the use of
cash to fund a build up in the Company's inventory in the first half of each
fiscal year. During the third and fourth quarters, the Company's higher level
of sales tends to reduce its inventory and generate cash from operations.
Cash used by operations in the first half totalled $33.4 million in 1994 and
$73.3 million last year. This improvement was achieved as a result of the
Company's focus on inventory management. Although the Company anticipates
double-digit percentage sales growth in the second half of 1994, inventories
are 10.9% lower at the end of the current quarter compared to the end of last
year's second quarter.
For short-term liquidity, the Company has a revolving credit agreement under
which the Company may, at its option, borrow and repay amounts up to a maximum
of $85 million, except that for the Company's third quarter, during which
period its borrowings peak, the maximum amount available to the Company is
$100 million. The Company does not presently have any outstanding borrowings
from its revolving credit facility and does not contemplate borrowing from
this facility in the immediate future.
The Company's ability to generate earnings has enabled it to reduce its long-
term debt (net of invested cash) as a percentage of total capital to 38.7% at
the end of the current quarter compared to 42.3% at the end of last year's
second quarter.
