                     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 May 2, 1999, and the related condensed
consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the thirteen week
periods ended May 2, 1999 and May 3, 1998.  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 31, 1999, 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 9, 1999, 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 31, 1999, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in
relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

See accompanying notes. -4- PHILLIPS-VAN HEUSEN CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (In thousands) 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 January 31, 1999. 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 thirteen weeks ended May 2, 1999 and May 3, 1998 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 weeks ended May 3, 1998 to present them on a basis consistent with the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 1999. INVENTORIES Inventories are summarized as follows: May 2, January 31, 1999 1999 Raw materials $ 8,270 $ 8,529 Work in process 11,848 12,834 Finished goods 233,632 211,332 Total $253,750 $232,695 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 $8,400 higher than reported at May 2, 1999 and January 31, 1999, 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 $150,000 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 $325,000 senior secured credit facility. In connection therewith, the Company paid a yield maintenance premium of $1,446 and wrote off certain debt issue costs of $185. These items have been classified as an extraordinary loss, net of tax benefit of $571, in the first quarter of 1998. ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITION OF BUSINESSES On March 12, 1999, PVH entered into a license agreement to market dress shirts under the John Henry and Manhattan brands. In connection therewith, the Company acquired $17,212 of inventory from the licensor. On February 26, 1999, PVH sold the Gant trademark and certain related assets associated with the Company's Gant operations for $71,000 in cash to Pyramid Sportswear AB ("Pyramid"), which was the brand's international licensee. Pyramid is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pyramid Partners AB, in which PVH has a minority interest. PVH has realized no gain or loss in connection with this transaction, after writing off certain assets associated with its Gant operations, including goodwill. 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, PVH evaluated its operating divisions and product offerings. 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 and Geoffrey Beene, John Henry, Manhattan, and, until February 26, 1999, Gant. 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. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition" for additional segment data. -6- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION The following adjusted statements of operations and segment data segregate Year 2000 computer conversion costs (Y2K costs) from the Company's ongoing operations:
Statements of Operations (In thousands) Thirteen Weeks Ended May 2, May 3, 1999 1998 Net sales $289,699 $295,765 Cost of goods sold 188,891 193,257 Gross profit 100,808 102,508 Selling, general and administrative expenses 99,384 101,954 Income before interest, taxes and Y2K costs 1,424 554 Interest expense, net 6,143 5,466 Loss before taxes and Y2K costs (4,719) (4,912) Income tax benefit 1,182 1,718 Loss before Y2K costs and extraordinary item (3,537) (3,194) Y2K costs, net of tax benefit 1,088 1,291 Extraordinary loss on debt retirement, net of tax benefit 1,060 Net loss $ (4,625) $ (4,485) Segment Data Thirteen Weeks Ended May 2, May 3, 1999 1998 Net sales-apparel $202,058 $205,389 Net sales-footwear and related products 87,641 90,376 Total net sales $289,699 $295,765 Operating income - apparel $ 3,763 $ 3,226 Operating income-footwear and related products 1,191 581 Total operating income 4,954 3,807 Corporate expenses 3,530 3,253 Income before interest, taxes and Y2K costs $ 1,424 $ 554
Excluding Y2K costs (net of tax benefit), net loss per share before extraordinary item for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 1999 and May 3, 1998, was $0.13 and $0.12, respectively. -7- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Thirteen Weeks Ended May 2, 1999 Compared with Thirteen Weeks Ended May 3, 1998 APPAREL Net sales of the Apparel segment in the first quarter were $202.1 million in 1999 and $205.4 million last year, a decrease of 1.6%. Gross profit on apparel sales in the first quarter was 33.4% in 1999 compared with 33.6% in the prior year. This decrease is due principally to lower gross margins related to winding down the Company's Gant operations in connection with the sale of Gant in February 1999. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of apparel sales in the first quarter decreased to 31.5% this year from 32.0% last year. The improved expense level is due principally to reduced goodwill amortization and operating expenses relating to the sale of Gant. FOOTWEAR AND RELATED PRODUCTS Net sales of the Footwear and Related Products segment in the first quarter were $87.6 million in 1999 and $90.4 million last year, a decrease of 3.1%. This decrease was expected as the prior year's first quarter included higher levels of promotional selling at Bass resulting from the liquidation of excess inventory. Gross profit on footwear and related products sales in the first quarter was 37.4% in 1999 compared with 36.8% in the prior year. The improvement is principally because last year's higher levels of promotional selling did not recur. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of footwear and related products sales in the first quarter were 36.0% this year compared with 36.1% last year. INTEREST EXPENSE Interest expense in the first quarter was $6.1 million in 1999 compared with $5.5 million last year. This increase resulted from the effects of the refinancings the Company completed late in the first quarter of 1998 which, in addition to extending the maturities of long-term debt, also increased overall borrowing costs. INCOME TAXES Income taxes were estimated at a rate of 25.0% for the current year compared with 35.1% last year. The actual full year tax rate for 1998 was 25.8% The Company believes the current quarter's rate better estimates its expected full year rate. -8- CORPORATE EXPENSES Corporate expenses in the first quarter were $3.5 million in 1999 compared with $3.3 million last year. YEAR 2000 The Year 2000 (Y2K) issue is the result of computer programs using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Such computer systems will be unable to interpret dates beyond the year 1999, which could cause a system failure or other computer errors, leading to disruptions in operations. PVH has initiated a comprehensive Y2K Project to address this issue and is utilizing both internal and external resources to complete it. The Company completed an assessment of Y2K requirements for the systems supported by its Information Technology Department which included contacting its software suppliers. The impacted systems, including those that are part of the Company's data processing infrastructure, are now Y2K compliant as a result of modification or replacement. The systems have been tested and are in use. They have been fully implemented in all areas, except the Company still needs to implement certain Y2K compliant retail systems for a number of its retail outlet stores. In addition, the Company is addressing the Y2K issue as it relates to its end user computing area. These are expected to be compliant by June 30, 1999. The Company has communicated with suppliers, equipment vendors, service providers and customers to determine the extent to which it is vulnerable to the failure of these parties to remedy any Y2K issues. Most of these parties have stated that they intend to be Y2K compliant by 2000. In conjunction with this, the Company has developed contingency plans for its major suppliers and merchandise carriers, where feasible, to mitigate Y2K risks. The Company's electronic commerce systems, used by many of its major customers, are Y2K compliant and are being installed in accordance with each customer's schedule. The total cost of the Y2K Project is estimated to be $22 million and is being funded through operating cash flows. Of the total Project cost, approximately $3 million is attributable to the purchase of new software, which will be capitalized, with the remaining cost expensed as incurred. Expenses incurred through May 2, 1999 were $10 million. Future expenses for the Y2K project include testing with customers and suppliers, as well as additional contingency planning and testing, and includes consulting fees and other administrative costs. PVH presently believes that the Y2K issue will not pose significant operational problems for its computer systems. However, no assurance can be given that this issue, as it relates to PVH's internal systems or those of other companies on which it relies, will not have a material adverse impact on PVH's operations. SEASONALITY PVH's business is seasonal, with higher sales and income during its third and fourth quarters, which coincide with PVH'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, and the second being the Christmas selling season beginning with the weekend following Thanksgiving and continuing through the week after Christmas. -9- 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 PVH's business typically requires the use of cash to fund a build-up in the Company's inventory in the first half of each 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 quarter totalled $16.8 million in 1999 and $36.2 million last year. This decrease is due to a smaller build-up of inventory in the current year and reduced spending for restructuring initiatives as compared to the prior year's first quarter. The Company has a $325 million credit agreement which includes a revolving credit facility under which the Company may, at its option, borrow and repay amounts within certain limits. The agreement 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 1999 peak seasonal needs. * * * ****************************************************************************** * Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act * * of 1995 * * * * Forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q report including, * * without limitation, statements relating to PVH's plans, strategies, * * objectives, expectations and intentions, are made pursuant to * * the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform * * Act of 1995.
