Independent Accountants 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 August 2, 1998, and the related
condensed consolidated statements of operations for the thirteen and twenty-
six week periods ended August 2, 1998 and August 3, 1997, and the related
condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the twenty-six week
periods ended August 2, 1998 and August 3, 1997. 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 February 1, 1998, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented
herein) and in our report dated March 10, 1998, except for the long-term debt
note, which is as of April 22, 1998, 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 February
1, 1998, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the
consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

PHILLIPS-VAN HEUSEN CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except per share data)
GENERAL
The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 February 1, 1998.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from the estimates.
The results of operations for the twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 1998 and
August 3, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year
due, in part, to 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 condensed consolidated
financial statements for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 3,
1997 to present that information on a basis consistent with the twenty-six
weeks ended August 2, 1998.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are summarized as follows:
August 2, February 1,
1998 1998
Raw materials $ 14,452 $ 15,964
Work in process 14,192 15,216
Finished goods 274,138 218,354
Total $302,782 $249,534
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost for apparel
inventories, excluding certain sportswear inventories, is determined using the
last-in, first-out method (LIFO). Cost for footwear and certain sportswear
inventories is determined using the first-in, first-out method (FIFO).
Inventories would have been approximately $12,200 higher than reported at
August 2, 1998 and February 1, 1998, if the FIFO method of inventory
accounting had been used for all apparel.
-5-
The final 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.
EXTRAORDINARY LOSS
On April 22, 1998, PVH issued $150 million of 9.5% senior subordinated notes
due May 1, 2008 and used the net proceeds to retire its intermediate term
7.75% senior notes and to repay a portion of the borrowings under its prior
revolving credit facility. On the same day, PVH refinanced its revolving
credit facility by entering into a new $325 million senior secured credit
facility. In connection therewith, the Company paid a yield maintenance
premium of $1.4 million and wrote off certain debt issue costs of $0.2
million. These items have been classified as an extraordinary loss, net of
tax benefit of $0.5 million, in the first quarter of 1998.
FACILITY AND STORE CLOSING AND RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER EXPENSES
On July 31, 1997, the Company announced that it would take a series of actions
to accelerate the execution of its ongoing strategy to build its brands.
Included in these actions were the closing of approximately 150 outlet stores,
repositioning the Gant brand in the United States to be consistent with its
highly successful positioning in Europe and Asia, exiting the sweater
manufacturing business and restructuring warehousing and distribution
facilities as well as other logistical and administrative areas in order to
reduce costs and improve efficiencies. As a result, the Company recorded a
non-recurring pre-tax charge of $57,000 ($36,800 after tax, or $1.36 a diluted
share) in the second quarter of 1997.
SEGMENT DATA
PVH manages and analyzes its operating results by its two vertically
integrated business segments: (i) Apparel and (ii) Footwear and Related
Products. In identifying its reportable segments under the provisions of FASB
Statement No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information", PVH evaluated its operating divisions and product offerings.
Under the aggregation criteria of Statement No. 131, PVH aggregated the
results of its apparel divisions into the Apparel segment. This segment
derives revenues from marketing dresswear, sportswear and accessories,
principally under the brand names Van Heusen, Izod, Izod Club, Gant and
Geoffrey Beene. PVH's footwear business has been identified as the Footwear
and Related Products segment. This segment derives revenues from marketing
casual and weekend footwear, apparel and accessories under the Bass brand
name.
Sales for both segments occur principally in the United States. There are no
inter-segment sales. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of
Operations and Financial Condition" for additional segment data.

respectively.
Thirteen Weeks Ended August 2, 1998 Compared With Thirteen Weeks Ended
August 3, 1997
APPAREL SEGMENT
Net sales of the Company's apparel segment in the second quarter increased to
$203.6 million in 1998 compared with $201.8 million last year, a 0.9%
increase. In the current quarter, branded wholesale apparel sales increased
13.1%, which was largely offset by the planned reduction in retail outlet
stores and the divestment of the Company's private label sweater manufacturing
business.
Gross profit on apparel sales was 34.0% in the current quarter compared with
33.5% last year (before the non-recurring charge), the fifth consecutive
quarter of increased gross margin in this segment. Strength in dress shirts
and Van Heusen sportswear were the primary factors in this increase.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of apparel sales
was 29.5% in the current quarter compared with 29.8% last year (before the
non-recurring charge). The improved expense level relates principally to the
Company's program of closing underperforming retail outlet stores.
-8-
FOOTWEAR AND RELATED PRODUCTS SEGMENT
Net sales of the Company's footwear and related products segment in the second
quarter were $102.8 million in 1998 compared with $111.6 million last year, a
decrease of 7.9%. This decrease was expected as Bass' sales and gross margins
continued to be impacted negatively by the unsuccessful repositioning in Fall
1997 of the Bass brand to higher price points.
Gross profit on footwear and related products sales was 38.5% in the second
quarter of 1998 compared with 39.1% last year (before the non-recurring
charge). As noted above, this decreased was expected. The correction of the
Bass inventory level was completed ahead of schedule in the second quarter,
paving the way for an expected turnaround at Bass for the balance of the year.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of footwear and
related products sales in the second quarter was 31.6% in 1998 compared with
32.2% in 1997 (before the non-recurring charge). The decrease is due to a
reduction in the Bass wholesale division's operating expenses.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense in the second quarter was $6.7 million in 1998 compared with
$5.3 million last year. This increase resulted from higher debt levels
associated with funding the Company's 1997 restructuring initiatives and from
increased borrowing costs associated with the refinancings completed by the
Company in the current year's first quarter, which extended the maturities of
its long-term debt.
INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense in the second quarter of 1998 includes an adjustment to
bring the year-to-date tax rate to the full year estimated rate of 30.0%. The
1998 tax rate is higher than the full year 1997 rate of 23.9% (before non-
recurring charges) due to tax exempted income from operations in Puerto Rico
comprising a smaller percentage of 1998 pre-tax income than in the prior year,
due principally to the divestment of the Company's Puerto Rico sweater
manufacturing operations.
CORPORATE EXPENSES
Corporate expenses in the second quarter were $2.9 million in 1998 compared
with $4.6 million in 1997. The decrease relates to the timing of certain
expenses, as corporate expenses for the full year are expected to approximate
the 1997 total.
-9-
Twenty-Six Weeks Ended August 2, 1998 Compared With Twenty-Six Weeks Ended
August 3, 1997
APPAREL SEGMENT
Net sales of the Company's apparel segment in the first half were $409.0
million in 1998, an increase of 3.5% from the prior year's $395.1 million.
Sales of the Company's wholesale branded apparel business increased 16.4% in
the current year's first half compared with last year. This was offset, in
part, by the planned reduction in retail outlet stores and the divestment of
the Company's private label sweater manufacturing business.
Gross profit on apparel sales was 33.8% in the first half of 1998 compared
with 33.2% last year (before the non-recurring charge). Strength in dress
shirts, Van Heusen sportswear and Geoffrey Beene were the primary factors in
this increase.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of apparel sales
in the first half was 30.8% in 1998 compared with 31.5% in 1997 (before the
non-recurring charge). The improved expense level relates principally to the
Company's program of closing underperforming retail outlet stores.
FOOTWEAR AND RELATED PRODUCTS SEGMENT
Net sales of the Company's footwear and related products segment in the first
half were $193.2 million in 1998, a 5.4% decrease from $204.3 million last
year. This decrease was expected as Bass' sales and gross margins continued
to be impacted negatively by the unsuccessful repositioning in Fall 1997 of
the Bass brand to higher price points.
Gross profit on footwear and related products sales was 37.7% in the first
half of 1998 compared with 38.8% last year (before the non-recurring charge).
As noted above, this decrease was expected. The correction of the Bass
inventory level was completed ahead of schedule in the second quarter, paving
the way for an expected turnaround at Bass for the balance of the year.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of footwear and
related products sales in the first half was 33.7% in both 1998 and 1997
(before the non-recurring charge).
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense in the first half was $12.1 million in 1998 compared with
$10.3 million last year. This increase resulted from higher debt levels
associated with funding the Company's 1997 restructuring initiatives and from
increased borrowing costs associated with the refinancings completed by the
Company in the current year's first quarter, which extended the maturities of
its long-term debt.
-10-
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes in the first half were estimated at a rate of 30.0% in 1998
compared with last year's full year rate of 23.9% (before non-recurring
charges). The 1998 tax rate is higher due to tax exempted income from
operations in Puerto Rico comprising a smaller percentage of 1998 pre-tax
income than in the prior year, due principally to the divestment of the
Company's Puerto Rico sweater manufacturing operations.
CORPORATE EXPENSES
Corporate expenses in the first half were $6.2 million in 1998 compared with
$8.4 million in 1997. The decrease relates to the timing of certain expenses,
as corporate expenses for the full year are expected to approximate the 1997
total.
YEAR 2000
The Company incurred $2.3 million and $4.3 million of computer conversion
expenses in the current quarter and first half of 1998, respectively, in
connection with making its computer systems Year 2000 compliant. The Company
expects to incur additional Year 2000 computer conversion expenses of
approximately $4.2 million in the current year and $8.5 million in 1999. The
Company is utilizing both internal and external resources to remediate, or
replace, and test the software for Year 2000 modifications.
The Company has identified three phases of its Year 2000 Project:
(i) Inventory, (ii) Assessment and (iii) Remediation and Testing. As of
September 1, 1998 the Inventory and Assessment phases have been completed,
and significant progress has been made in the remediation and testing phase.
The Company anticipates completing the Year 2000 Project by June 30, 1999.
The cost of the project and the date on which the Company believes it will
complete the Year 2000 modifications are based on management's estimates. The
Company presently believes that the Year 2000 issue will not pose significant
operational problems for its computer systems. The Company has also
communicated with its customers and suppliers in order to determine whether
the Year 2000 issue will impact the ability of those companies' computer
systems to interface with the Company's systems or will otherwise impact the
ability of those companies to transact business with the Company. The Company
is not aware of any such material issues with its customers and suppliers.
However, due to uncertainties inherent in the Year 2000 issue, the Company has
developed various courses of action to mitigate the effect of any unforeseen
disruptions resulting from non-compliance either by the Company's computer
systems, or those of other companies on which the Company's systems and
operations rely. Notwithstanding such contingency plans, if the required
modifications and conversions are not made, or are not completed timely, or
the systems of other companies on which the Company's systems and operations
rely are not converted on a timely basis, the Year 2000 issue could have a
material adverse impact on the Company's operations.

FACILITY AND STORE CLOSING AND RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER EXPENSES
On July 31, 1997, the Company announced that it would take a series of actions
to accelerate the execution of its ongoing strategy to build its brands.
Included in these actions were the closing of approximately 150 outlet stores,
repositioning the Gant brand in the United States to be consistent with its
highly successful positioning in Europe and Asia, exiting the sweater
manufacturing business and restructuring warehousing and distribution
facilities as well as other logistical and administrative areas in order to
reduce costs and improve efficiencies. As a result, the Company recorded a
non-recurring pre-tax charge of $57 million ($36.8 million after tax or $1.36
a diluted share) in the second quarter of 1997.

The Company's business is seasonal, with higher sales and income during its
third and fourth quarters, which coincide with the Company's two peak retail
selling seasons: the first running from the start of the back to school and
fall selling seasons beginning in August 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 quarter is the high volume of
fall shipments to wholesale customers which are generally more profitable than
spring shipments. The slower spring selling season at wholesale combines with
retail seasonality to make the first quarter particularly weak.
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.
Net cash used by operations in the first half was $56.3 million in 1998 and
$64.5 million last year. The Company's seasonal inventory build-up was less
than in the prior year due principally to a lower Bass inventory build-up than
in the prior year, and to a lesser extent, the divestment of the Company's
private label sweater manufacturing business. Partially offsetting this
decrease was spending in 1998 associated with the Company's 1997 restructuring
initiatives.
Capital spending in the first half was $8.0 million in 1998 compared with $6.8
million last year. The Company anticipates a significant increase in overall
capital spending levels in 1998 due principally to the anticipated
consolidation of its New York City offices into one location.

On April 22, 1998, the Company issued $150 million of 9.5% senior subordinated
notes due May 1, 2008, and used the net proceeds to retire its intermediate
term 7.75% senior notes and reduce its revolving credit debt. At the same
time, the Company re-syndicated and refinanced its revolving credit facility
with a new $325 million senior secured credit facility with a group of 12
banks. While these refinancings will increase the overall cost of the
Company's borrowings, the Company believes they should provide a secure
financial base which will allow the Company to focus its attention on the
execution of its strategic business plan. The new revolving credit facility
also includes a letter of credit facility with a sub-limit of $250 million
provided, however, that the aggregate maximum amount outstanding under both
the revolving credit facility and the letter of credit facility is $325
million. The Company believes that its borrowing capacity under these
facilities is adequate for its peak seasonal needs in the foreseeable future.
In addition, the retirement of the Company's intermediate term 7.75% senior
notes eliminates all long-term debt repayment requirements for the next 10
years.

PHILLIPS-VAN HEUSEN CORPORATION
1998 SENIOR MANAGEMENT BONUS PROGRAM
For fiscal year 1998, Phillips-Van Heusen (the "Company") implemented
a senior management bonus program under which 17 senior management executives
may receive a bonus based on (a) for executives with corporate responsibility,
earnings targets for the Company as a whole and (b) for executives responsible
for a division or divisions, earnings targets for such division(s).
Threshold, budget and maximum earnings targets were set by the
Company, and bonus payments will be calculated in relation to the extent to
which earnings fall within the target range. The amount of the bonus payment
will be a varying percentage of a participant's base salary.
The amount of a participant's bonus payment, if any, for the 1998
fiscal year will be determined by the end of the first quarter of the 1999
fiscal year. Payment of such bonus will be subject to a vesting period,
ending the last day of the 1999 fiscal year. Payment of such bonus will be
made on the first day of the 2000 fiscal year, together with interest
accruing from the first day of the second quarter of the 1999 fiscal year.
In the event of the death or disability of a participant during the
1998 fiscal year, the participant or his or her estate will receive the bonus,
if any, which would otherwise have been payable to the participant for the
fiscal year, pro rated to reflect the portion of the fiscal year worked by the
participant. In order to remain eligible to receive a bonus, a participant must
be employed by the Company on the last day of the vesting period or must have
died or become disabled during the 1999 fiscal year.
The Compensation Committee reserves the right to amend this Program
for the benefit of any participant or waive any of its provisions (including
the vesting period).
