NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include
all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six
months ended June 29, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of results that may
be expected for the year ending January 4, 1997. For further information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 1995.
NOTE B - EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Primary earnings per share are computed by dividing net income, after
deducting preferred dividends, by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding. Fully diluted earnings per share assume the conversion of
Preferred Stock and the exercise of stock options that have a dilutive effect.

capital $1 a share. At June 29, 1996, there were 63,546,886 shares

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales decreased 4% for the second quarter and 3% for the first six months
of 1996 compared with the same periods of 1995. Earnings per share increased
by 7% for the quarter and 2% for the first six months of 1996. The decline in
sales resulted from a decline in unit sales. Earnings increased, however, due
to higher operating margins and reduced net interest expense.
Sales and operating income by business group are summarized as follows:

============= ============= ============ =============
The Jeanswear business group includes the Lee, Wrangler, Rustler, Riders and
Girbaud brands in the United States and the Lee and Wrangler brands in
international markets, primarily in Europe. Despite modest declines in sales
in the second quarter and six months of 1996, lower product costs resulted in
an increase in operating margins. Other cost reductions helped to offset the
impact of additional advertising spending both domestically and abroad.
7
The sales increase in the Decorated Knitwear business group resulted from
higher unit volumes in decorated and undecorated fleece and T-shirts. The
benefits of additional production volume in fleece and T-shirt manufacturing
plants, as well as improvements in operating margins within the sports apparel
businesses, resulted in better profitability within this category for the first
half of the year.
The Intimate Apparel business group includes the Vanity Fair and Vassarette
brands as well as a private label business domestically. The Company also
has intimate apparel operations in Europe, primarily in France and Spain.
The sales and profit decline resulted from reductions in sales unit volumes
both in the United States and in Europe.
The Playwear business group consists of the Healthtex brand, the preschool
sizes of Lee and Wrangler, and products imprinted with characters licensed from
The Walt Disney Company and others. Sales and operating margins declined in the
quarter and six months due to operating difficulties related to changes in the
manufacturing structure at Healthtex.
The Specialty Apparel business group includes Red Kap occupational apparel,
Jantzen swim and casual apparel and JanSport brand equipment. Sales and
profits remained relatively stable during the quarter and six month periods.
Gross margins improved to 32.5% of sales in the quarter and 32.7% in the six
months of 1996, compared with 31.5% and 32.1% in 1995. These increases
resulted from lower manufacturing costs attributable to the cost reduction
initiatives of late 1995 and lower inventory write-down requirements.
Marketing, administrative and general expenses were 21.9% of sales during the
quarter and 22.6% for the six month period, compared with 21.4% and 22.2%,
respectively, in 1995. For the current quarter and first half of 1996,
marketing expenses increased as a percent of sales due to higher advertising,
but administrative and general expenses declined in amount and as a percent of
sales. Marketing, administrative and general expenses as a percent of sales in
the first half are historically at higher levels than annual amounts and are
not necessarily representative of the level expected for the year.
Net interest expense declined in 1996 due to improved cash flows from
operations, primarily from lower inventory levels, and the resulting reduction
in the Company's borrowings.
The effective income tax rate for the six months of 1996 was 40.6%, compared
with 39.7% for the 1995 period, based on the expected effective rate for the
year. The rate increase is due to expected higher levels of foreign operating
losses with no current tax benefit.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
The financial condition of the Company is reflected in the following:
JUNE 29 DECEMBER 30 JULY 1
1996 1995 1995
-------------- --------------- ------------
(Dollars in millions)
Working capital $918.8 $799.3 $801.6
Current ratio 2.1 to 1 1.9 to 1 1.7 to 1
Debt to total capital 29.3% 32.3% 38.0%
Days sales outstanding in accounts receivable are up slightly from the level at
the end of 1995 and are consistent with the level at the end of the 1995 second
quarter.
The significant reduction in inventories from the 1995 second quarter resulted
from specific efforts to reduce inventory levels in a somewhat unstable retail
environment.
Short-term borrowings declined during the first half of 1996 due to strong cash
flow from operations resulting from reduced inventory levels.
During the second quarter of 1996, the Company purchased 692,000 shares of its
Common Stock in open market transactions, thus completing its authorization
from the Board of Directors to purchase up to three million shares. In July
1996, the Board authorized the purchase of an additional five million shares.
On August 2, 1996, the Company acquired the common stock of Bulwark Protective
Apparel Inc. for $20.4 million. Bulwark, based in Edmonton, Alberta, is
Canada's leading manufacturer and marketer of premium flame retardant apparel
for the petrochemical, chemical and utility industries throughout North
America. Bulwark will be managed as a business unit of the Company's Red Kap
occupational apparel division.
