Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation Associates Investment Plan for Hourly Associates Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 1998 A. Description of the Plan The following description of the Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation (the "Company") Associates Investment Plan for Hourly Associates (the "Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan Document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. On October 1, 1997, the net assets of the Associates Investment Plan of Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation (Crystal Brands Division) (the "Crystal Brands Plan") associated with hourly associates merged into the Plan. All assets of the Crystal Brands Plan were held by State Street Bank (trustee of the Crystal Brands Plan through September 30, 1997). All assets of the Plan are held by Chase Manhattan Bank (trustee of the Plan through September 30, 1997) and Wachovia Bank, N.A. (successor trustee of the Plan effective October 1, 1997) in the Company's Associates Investment Plan Master Trust (the "AIP Master Trust"). General The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering hourly production and retail field employees of the Company who have at least one year of service (1,000 hours in a year) and are age 21 or older. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). Contributions Each year, participants may contribute up to 15% of pretax annual compensation, as defined by the Plan. The Company contributes 50% of the first 6% of base compensation that a participant contributes to the Plan. Participant Accounts Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions and allocations of (a) Company's contributions, and (b) Plan earnings. Forfeited balances of terminated participants' nonvested accounts are used to reduce future Company contributions. One hundred percent of the Company contributions are automatically invested in the common stock of the Company. In accordance with the provisions of the Plan, participants age 55 or older may direct the Company contribution into any of the Plan's investment options. F-5
Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation Associates Investment Plan for Hourly Associates Notes to Financial Statements (continued) A. Description of the Plan (continued) Vesting Amounts attributable to Company contributions become vested on the participant's 65th birthday or if the participant's employment by the Company terminates by reason of the participant's death or permanent disability or the participant has completed five years of service with the Company. Investment Options Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct employee contributions into any of six investment options. A participant may contribute a maximum of 25% of employee contributions into the Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation Common Stock Fund. Participant Loans Receivable Participants may borrow from the Plan, with certain restrictions, using their vested account balance as collateral. The minimum loan amount is $1,000 and the maximum loan amount is the lesser of (i) $50,000 reduced by the participant's highest outstanding loan balance during the previous 12 months, or (ii) 50% of the vested value of the participant's account. Interest is fixed for the term of the loan at the prime rate as of the first business day of the month of application as published in The Wall Street Journal, plus 1%. Loan repayments are made through payroll deductions which may be specified for a term of 1 to 5 years or up to 15 years for the purchase of a primary residence. Payment of Benefits Participants entitled to final distributions generally will receive payment in the form of a lump sum amount equal to the value of their vested account. Plan Termination Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts. B. Significant Accounting Policies F-6
Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation Associates Investment Plan for Hourly Associates Notes to Financial Statements (continued) The accounting records of the Plan are maintained on the accrual basis. Substantially all administrative expenses are paid by the company. In accordance with the Rules and Regulations of the Department of Labor, investments are included in the accompanying financial statements at market value as determined by quoted market prices or at fair value as determined by Wachovia Bank, N.A. ("Wachovia") for the applicable Wachovia investment funds. Purchases and sales of securities are reflected on a trade date basis. All assets of the Plan are held by Wachovia in the AIP Master Trust and are segregated from the assets of the Company. The Plan shares in AIP Master Trust interest and investment income based upon its participants' shares of AIP Master Trust net assets available for plan benefits. The AIP Master Trust's investments include an interest contract with an insurance company that has been placed into conservatorship in 1991. In November 1998, the AIP Master Trust received its principal in the interest contract plus accrued interest, as defined in the conservatorship agreement. The Plan does not have a beneficial interest in this interest contract. 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 these estimates. C. Transactions with Parties-in-Interest During the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, the AIP Master Trust purchased 56,702 and 41,891 shares, respectively, of the Company's common stock and received $197,777 and $205,332, respectively, from the Company as payment of dividends on its common stock. The AIP Master Trust also sold 14,961 and 58,705 shares of the Company's common stock during the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. In connection with the merger of the Crystal Brands Plan on October 1, 1997, 52,112 shares of the Company's common stock were transferred into the AIP Master Trust. F-7

Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation Associates Investment Plan for Hourly Associates Notes to Financial Statements (continued) E. Income Tax Status The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated April 27, 1995, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Once qualified, the plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The Plan Administrator believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax exempt. F. Assets of the Plan Assets of the Plan are included in the assets of the AIP Master Trust held by the trustees. The assets of the AIP Master Trust are presented in the following table.

F-11
Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation Associates Investment Plan for Hourly Associates Notes to Financial Statements (continued) H. Year 2000 (Unaudited) The Plan Sponsor has determined that it will be necessary to take certain steps in order to ensure that the Plan's information systems are prepared to handle year 2000 dates. The Plan Sponsor is taking a two phase approach. The first phase addresses internal systems that must be modified or replaced to function properly. Both internal and external resources are being utilized to replace or modify existing software applications, and test the software and equipment for the year 2000 modifications. The Plan Sponsor anticipates substantially completing this phase of the project by the end of 1999. Costs associated with modifying software and equipment are not estimated to be significant and will be paid by the Plan Sponsor. For the second phase of the project, Plan management established formal communications with its third party service providers to determine that they have developed plans to address their own year 2000 problems as they relate to the Plan's operations. All third party service providers have indicated that they will be year 2000 compliant by the end of 1999. If modification of data processing systems of either the Plan, the Plan Sponsor, or its service providers are not completed timely, the year 2000 problem could have a material impact on the operations of the Plan. Plan management has not developed a contingency plan, because they are confident that all systems will be year 2000 ready. F-12

A participant may contribute a maximum of 25% of employee contributions into the Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation Common Stock Fund. Participant Loans Receivable Participants may borrow from the Plan, with certain restrictions, using their vested account balance as collateral. The minimum loan amount is $1,000 and the maximum loan amount is the lesser of (i) $50,000 reduced by the participant's highest outstanding loan balance during the previous 12 months, or (ii) 50% of the vested value of the participant's account. Interest is fixed for the term of the loan at the prime rate as of the first business day of the month of application as published in The Wall Street Journal, plus 1%. Loan repayments are made through payroll deductions which may be specified for a term of 1 to 5 years or up to 15 years for the purchase of a primary residence. Payment of Benefits Participants entitled to final distributions generally will receive payment in the form of a lump-sum amount equal to the value of their vested account. Plan Termination Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts. F-18
Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation Associates Investment Plan for Salaried Associates Notes to Financial Statements (continued) B. Significant Accounting Policies The accounting records of the Plan are maintained on the accrual basis. Substantially all administrative expenses are paid by the company. In accordance with the Rules and Regulations of the Department of Labor, investments are included in the accompanying financial statements at market value as determined by quoted market price or at fair value as determined by Wachovia for the applicable Wachovia investment funds. The interest contract is stated at cost plus accumulated interest. Purchase and sales of securities are reflected on a trade date basis. All assets of the Plan are held by Wachovia in the AIP Master Trust and are segregated from the assets of the Company. The Plan shares in AIP Master Trust interest and investment income based upon its participants' shares of AIP Master Trust net assets available for plan benefits. 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 these estimates. C. Transactions with Parties-in-Interest During the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, the AIP Master Trust purchased 56,702 and 41,891 shares, respectively, of the Company's common stock and received $197,777 and $205,332, respectively, from the Company as payment of dividends on its common stock.

Non-Performing Interest Contract On July 16, 1991, on application of the Insurance Commissioner of the State of New Jersey, the Superior Court of New Jersey placed the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company ("MBLIC") into rehabilitation. Effective June 30, 1991, allocation of interest on MBLIC interest contracts to participants was suspended, and on January 1, 1992, the interest accrual rate on all MBLIC contracts was reduced to 3% in accordance with the recommendation of the Deputy Rehabilitator of MBLIC. F-22
Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation Associates Investment Plan for Salaried Associates Notes to Financial Statements (continued) F. Non-Performing Interest Contract (continued) On November 10, 1993, the court approved a plan of rehabilitation for MBLIC. The rehabilitation plan provides investors with two alternatives consisting of either (1) participating ("opt-in") in the plan, or (2) not participating ("opt-out") in the plan. Investors electing to opt-in are projected to receive 100% of their July 16, 1991 investment balance over a four-year period from December 31, 1999 to December 31, 2003. Investors who elected to opt-out received approximately 55% of their July 16, 1991 investment balance no later than mid-1996. The Plan's interest contract with MBLIC is not covered by state guaranty associations. For certain investments not covered by state guaranty associations, including the Plan's interest contract, the rehabilitation provides, for those investors electing to opt-in, reinsurance by a consortium of insurance companies including the Prudential Insurance Company of America and the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. State Street Bank, the former trustee of the Crystal Brands Plan, elected to opt-in to the MBLIC rehabilitation plan. State Street Bank made this decision after review and analysis of the rehabilitation plan and the financial strength of the reinsurers. Based on the MBLIC rehabilitation plan, including the reinsurance provision, no adjustment to the carrying value of the MBLIC interest contract was made. The Plan's MBLIC interest contract was credited with interest at 6.35% from January 1, 1997 through June 30, 1997 and 9.75% for July 1, 1997 through November 2, 1998. On November 2, 1998, the Plan received as final settlement from MBLIC of $4,802,967, which includes principal and accrued interest of $4,425,443 and $377,524, respectively. G. Income Tax Status The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated April 27, 1995, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Once qualified, the plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The Plan Administrator believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax exempt.

Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation Associates Investment Plan for Salaried Associates Notes to Financial Statements (continued) I. Year 2000 (Unaudited) The Plan Sponsor has determined that it will be necessary to take certain steps in order to ensure that the Plan's information systems are prepared to handle year 2000 dates. The Plan Sponsor is taking a two phase approach. The first phase addresses internal systems that must be modified or replaced to function properly. Both internal and external resources are being utilized to replace or modify existing software applications, and test the software and equipment for the year 2000 modifications. The Plan Sponsor anticipates substantially completing this phase of the project by the end of 1999. Costs associated with modifying software and equipment are not estimated to be significant and will be paid by the Plan Sponsor. For the second phase of the project, Plan management established formal communications with its third party service providers to determine that they have developed plans to address their own year 2000 problems as they relate to the Plan's operations. All third party service providers have indicated that they will be year 2000 compliant by the end of 1999. If modification of data processing systems of either the Plan, the Plan Sponsor, or its service providers are not completed timely, the year 2000 problem could have a material impact on the operations of the Plan. Plan management has not developed a contingency plan, because they are confident that all systems will be year 2000 ready. F-25
