NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, excluding per share amounts)
(Unaudited)

Note 1—Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Organization: The Warnaco Group, Inc. ("Warnaco Group" and, collectively with its subsidiaries, the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware on March 14, 1986 and, on May 10, 1986, acquired substantially all of the outstanding shares of Warnaco Inc. ("Warnaco"). Warnaco is the principal operating subsidiary of Warnaco Group.

Basis of Consolidation and Presentation: The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (all of which were of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2005, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 17, 2005.

All inter-company accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Periods Covered: The period from July 3, 2005 to October 1, 2005 (the "Three Months Ended October 1, 2005") and the period July 4, 2004 to October 2, 2004 (the "Three Months Ended October 2, 2004") each contained thirteen weeks of operations. The period from January 2, 2005 to October 1, 2005 (the "Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005") and the period January 4, 2004 to October 2, 2004 (the "Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004") each contained thirty-nine weeks of operations.

Reclassifications: Certain prior period balance sheet items have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Financial Instruments: During the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005, the Company entered into foreign currency exchange contracts which mature through March 2006 and are designed to fix the number of euros required to satisfy the first one-third of dollar denominated purchases of inventory by certain of the Company's European subsidiaries. See Note 10. The foreign currency exchange contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. Changes in the fair values of the aforementioned cash flow hedges are deferred and recorded as a component of other comprehensive income until the associated inventory is sold, at which time the deferred gains or losses are recorded in cost of goods sold. The Company also utilizes interest rate swaps to convert a portion of the interest obligation related to its long-term debt from a fixed rate to floating rates. See Note 12. A number of international financial institutions are counterparties to the Company's outstanding letters of credit, interest rate swap agreements and foreign exchange contracts. The Company monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, these counterparty financial institutions and does not anticipate nonperformance by these counterparties. Management believes that the Company would not suffer a material loss in the event of nonperformance by these counterparties. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment ("SFAS 123R"). SFAS 123R requires compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements. With limited exceptions, the amount of compensation cost will be measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. In addition, liability awards will be remeasured each reporting period. Compensation cost will be recognized ratably over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award. SFAS 123R replaces SFAS No. 123, Accounting for

THE WARNACO GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, excluding per share amounts)
(Unaudited)

Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Among other matters, SFAS 123R requires companies to estimate the forfeiture rate of stock-based compensation awards. On April 14, 2005, the SEC announced the adoption of a rule that defers the required effective date of SFAS 123R. The SEC rule provides that SFAS 123R is now effective for registrants as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005. Effective February 5, 2003, the Company adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock options for all options granted by the Company after February 4, 2003 pursuant to the prospective method provisions of SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, Transition and Disclosure. Since February 5, 2003, the Company has recorded stock-based compensation expense based on actual forfeitures of stock-based compensation awards. The Company is in the process of evaluating the effect of SFAS 123R on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections ("SFAS 154"). SFAS 154 replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. SFAS 154 requires that a voluntary change in accounting principle be applied retrospectively with all prior period financial statements presented reflecting the new accounting principle as if it had been adopted at the beginning of the earliest period presented. SFAS 154 also requires that a change in method of depreciating or amortizing a long-lived nonfinancial asset be accounted for prospectively as a change in estimate and that the correction of errors in previously issued financial statements be termed a restatement. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.

In June 2005, the FASB issued Emerging Issue Task Force Abstract No. 05-6, Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements Purchased after Lease Inception or Acquired in a Business Combination ("EITF 05-6"). EITF 05-6 requires that leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination or purchased subsequent to the inception of a lease be amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the assets or a term that includes the remaining lease term and renewals that are deemed to be reasonably assured at the date of acquisition or purchase. EITF 05-6 is effective for leasehold improvements that are purchased or acquired in reporting periods beginning after June 29, 2005. Adoption of EITF 05-6 did not have an effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Note 2—Stock-Based Compensation

At the annual meeting of stockholders of the Company held on May 23, 2005, the Company's stockholders approved The Warnaco Group, Inc. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2005 Stock Incentive Plan") for directors, executive officers and other key employees and consultants of the Company and its affiliates.

The 2005 Stock Incentive Plan permits the granting of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, stock awards and other stock-based awards (including but not limited to restricted stock units), some of which may require the satisfaction of performance-based criteria in order to become vested or payable to participants. Subject to adjustment for dividends, distributions, recapitalizations, stock splits, reverse stock splits, reorganizations, mergers, consolidations, split-ups, spin-offs, combinations, repurchases or exchanges of shares or other securities of the Company, issuances of warrants or other rights to purchase shares of common stock or other securities of the Company and other similar events, the aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan is 3,000,000 shares of common stock; provided, however, that the aggregate number of shares that may be subject to restricted stock awards and other stock-based awards shall be

750,000. The Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors is responsible for administering the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan. The Company has reserved 3,000,000 shares of its common stock for stock-based compensation awards granted pursuant to the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan.

Pursuant to the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan, during the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005, the Company granted 952,100 stock options to employees and 12,100 stock options were cancelled. In addition, the Company granted 169,736 shares of restricted stock to employees. Substantially all of these equity awards will vest annually with respect to one-third of the shares or options, as applicable, on each anniversary of the grant date beginning in 2006 provided that the grantee is employed by the Company on each such anniversary date.

Pursuant to The Warnaco Group, Inc. 2003 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2003 Stock Incentive Plan"), during the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005, the Company granted 14,400 stock options to employees and 113,900 stock options were cancelled. In addition, the Company granted 163,100 shares of restricted stock to employees and 28,796 shares of restricted stock were cancelled. Each of these equity awards will vest annually with respect to one-third of the shares or options, as applicable, on each anniversary of the grant date beginning in 2006 provided that the grantee is employed by the Company on each such anniversary.

The fair values of the stock options were estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model with the following assumptions:

The terms of the Company's $175,000 Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, as amended (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and the terms of the indenture governing its 8 7/8% Senior Notes due 2013 (the "Senior Notes") limit the Company's ability to make certain payments, including dividends, and require the Company to meet certain financial covenants. The Company has not paid dividends on its common stock in any of the last three fiscal years. See Note 12.

During the Three Months Ended October 1, 2005 and the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005, the Company recorded net gains related to restructuring items of $1,251 and $524, respectively, related primarily to the reversal of accruals due to reductions in the estimated amounts required for employee terminations, partially offset by expenses incurred in connection with the continuation of activities commenced in prior periods associated with the closure, consolidation or sale of certain facilities. During the Three Months Ended October 2, 2004 and the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004, the Company incurred restructuring expense of $403 and $3,866, respectively, primarily related to the continuation of activities commenced in prior periods associated with the closure, consolidation or sale of certain facilities.

(a)

For the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005, includes a gain of $1,509 related to the reversal of accruals due to reductions in the estimated amounts required for employee terminations, partially offset by severance and other benefits of $187 payable to 38 employees. During the Three Months Ended October 1, 2005, the Company determined that certain employee termination accruals of $1,415 related to the Company's formalized plan, initiated in the fourth quarter of the 2002 fiscal year, to consolidate its European manufacturing operations (the "Social Plan"), were no longer required. Total costs related to the Social Plan were approximately $16,000. The Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004 includes severance and other benefits of approximately $1,050 payable to approximately 587 employees whose jobs were eliminated as part of the Company's restructuring initiatives and includes severance and other benefits of approximately $992 payable to employees at the Company's San Luis, Mexico manufacturing facility (which was sold during the first quarter of fiscal 2004).


(b)	For the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005 and the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004, amounts include $641 and $392, respectively, of net losses on disposal / writedowns of assets related to facilities that had been either closed or sold in prior periods.


(c)	For the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005, amount includes the reversal of an accrual no longer required related to the closure of a technical production support center located in Van Nuys, California. The accrual was no longer required because the Company settled the lease with the landlord earlier than anticipated.

The Company does not include unallocated corporate expenses, restructuring expense (income) or depreciation and amortization of corporate assets in its determination of segment operating income. Unallocated corporate expenses include general corporate overhead and certain shared corporate services. The Company evaluates the business groups' results without allocating these corporate/other items. Other companies may allocate these costs to their operating divisions and, as a result, the operating results of the Company's operating groups may not be directly comparable to the results of other companies. The table below summarizes corporate/other expenses for each period presented:

Note 6—Income Taxes

The following presents the domestic and foreign components of the Company's provision (benefit) for income taxes included in income from continuing operations:


	For the Three Months Ended						For the Nine Months Ended
	October 1, 2005			October 2, 2004			October 1, 2005		October 2, 2004

Total	$	2,669		$	988		$	24,998	$	20,633

The effective tax rate for the Three Months Ended October 1, 2005 was approximately 28% compared to approximately 35% for the Three Months Ended October 2, 2004. The Company's tax provision for the quarter reflects a reduction of approximately $800 as a result of the filing of its 2004 tax return. The effective tax rate for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005 was approximately 37% compared to approximately 41% for the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004. The decrease in the effective tax rate is the result of a change in the mix of U.S. and international profits as the Company's U.S. tax rate is generally higher than that of the Company's international locations.

(Unaudited)

During the Three Months Ended October 1, 2005, the Company increased its valuation allowance by $1,892 to $154,928. The change primarily reflects the utilization of foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $1,713 (which has been recorded against goodwill), offset by other valuation allowance increases of $3,605. Of the $3,605 increase in the Company's valuation allowance, $3,404 has been recorded as an increase in goodwill consistent with changes in estimates for interim periods and $201 has been recorded to the tax provision.

During the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005, the Company decreased its valuation allowance by $10,907 to $154,928. The decrease reflects the utilization of domestic net operating loss carryforwards of $5,676 and the utilization of foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $5,589 (both of which have been recorded against goodwill), partially offset by other increases in foreign valuation allowances of $358 (which has been recorded to the tax provision).

On February 4, 2003, the Company emerged from bankruptcy and realized a gain on the cancellation of pre-petition indebtedness of $1,693,000 for the 2003 tax year. Under U.S. tax law, a company that realized cancellation of debt income ("COD") while in bankruptcy is entitled to exclude such income from taxable income for U.S. tax reporting purposes. A company that excludes COD will be required to reduce certain tax attributes in an amount equal to the COD excluded from taxable income. If the attribute reduction is applied on a consolidated basis, all of the Company's U.S. consolidated net operating loss carryovers would be eliminated and certain of its other U.S. tax attributes will be substantially reduced or eliminated. However, by applying the attribute reduction rules on a separate company basis, the Company retained U.S. net operating loss carryforwards of $246,235, which can be used to reduce U.S. taxable income, if any, by approximately $23,415 per year. There can be no assurance that the Company's position with respect to separate company attribute reduction will be sustained upon review by the Internal Revenue Service. Therefore, in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, the Company has recorded a tax reserve of $5,676 against goodwill for the portion of the U.S. net operating loss carryforwards utilized in the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005.

Any tax benefit from the utilization of consolidated U.S. net operating losses that existed as of February 4, 2003 will reduce goodwill when realized and will not affect the Company's future results of operations.

On October 22, 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the "AJC Act") was signed into law. The AJC Act provides for a special one-time dividends received tax deduction of 85 percent of certain foreign earnings that are repatriated in either a company's last tax year that began before the enactment date, or the first tax year that begins during the one-year period beginning on the date of enactment. The AJC Act would require the payment of U.S. tax on the portion of the dividend not subject to the dividends received deduction, even though the Company has U.S. net operating loss carryforwards. All of the Company's foreign earnings are permanently reinvested for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005. The Company does not expect to utilize the benefits available under the AJC Act; however, it will continue to evaluate the opportunity to utilize the 85 percent dividends received deduction during the remainder of the 2005 fiscal year. The Company will evaluate any income tax effect should circumstances result in a change in the Company's plans.

Note 7—Employee Benefit and Retirement Plans

Defined Benefit Pension Plan

The Company has a defined benefit pension plan, which covers substantially all full-time domestic employees (the "Pension Plan"). Effective January 1, 2003, the Pension Plan was amended such that

THE WARNACO GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, excluding per share amounts)
(Unaudited)

participants in the Pension Plan will not earn any additional pension benefits after December 31, 2002. The Pension Plan is noncontributory and benefits are based upon years of service. The Company also has defined benefit health care, life insurance and other plans that provide post-retirement benefits to retired employees ("Other Benefit Plans"). The Other Benefit Plans are, in most cases, contributory with retiree contributions adjusted annually.

The Company follows SFAS No. 87, Employers' Accounting for Pensions ("SFAS 87"), in regard to accounting for the Pension Plan. Pursuant to SFAS 87, each quarter the Company recognizes interest cost offset by the expected return on Pension Plan assets. In addition, the Company obtains a report from the Pension Plan actuary to measure Pension Plan assets and liabilities at year-end. The Company records the effect of actual gains and losses exceeding the expected return on Pension Plan assets and any other changes determined by the actuary (including changes in actuarial assumptions) in the fourth quarter of each year. This accounting results in volatility in pension expense or income; therefore, the Company reports pension expense/income on a separate line of its statement of operations in each period.

The Company's contributions to the Pension Plan were $3,183 through October 1, 2005 and are expected to be $4,978 in total through December 31, 2005.

The components of net periodic benefit cost were as follows:


	Pension Benefit Plans						Other Benefit Plans

Deferred Compensation Plan

On April 25, 2005, the Company adopted a deferred compensation plan (the "Deferred Compensation Plan") for the benefit of certain employees eligible to participate in the Company's Incentive Compensation Plan. The Deferred Compensation Plan allows participating employees to make pre-tax deferrals of up to 50% of their annual base salary and up to 100% (but no less than 10%) of their annual bonus. A bookkeeping account is established for each participant, and each account is increased or decreased by the deemed positive or negative return based on hypothetical investment alternatives approved by the Company and selected by the participating employee. In the case of a change of control, the Company will establish a "rabbi" trust in connection with the

Deferred Compensation Plan and will make contributions to the rabbi trust equal to the Deferred Compensation Plan's aggregate benefit obligations. As of October 1, 2005, the Company has a liability of $112 for employee contributions and investment activity to date, which is recorded in other long-term liabilities.

Revolving Credit Facility

On September 15, 2005, the Company entered into a third amendment to its Revolving Credit Facility to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity date from February 3, 2007 to February 3, 2009; (ii) reduce the applicable margins used to determine interest rates for both base rate and LIBOR borrowings (such that borrowings bear interest at Citibank N.A.'s base rate plus 0.5% (7.25% at October 1, 2005) or LIBOR plus 1.5% (approximately 5.57% at October 1, 2005) although the Revolving Credit Facility provides that the interest rate the Company will pay on outstanding loans may change based on certain defined ratios); (iii) revise financial covenants relating to minimum fixed charge coverage ratios, maximum leverage ratios and limits on capital expenditures so that such covenants are tested only when available credit (as defined in the amendment) falls below $50,000; (iv) replace the previously fixed unused commitment fee with a commitment fee structure that varies based upon the Company's leverage ratio; (v) eliminate dollar limitations on certain acquisitions of entities and assets and repurchases of the Company's common stock so long as available credit is at least $50,000 after giving effect to such acquisition or repurchase and provided certain other terms and conditions are met; (vi) permit payment of cash dividends on the Company's common stock in amounts up to 25% of the Company's net income for the most recent completed fiscal year; (vii) allow for additional indebtedness of up to $30,000, provided such indebtedness is incurred solely to finance the construction of a new distribution facility; and (viii) reduce the pricing of certain letters of credit that are cash collateralized. The Company's ability to take certain of the foregoing actions under the Revolving Credit Facility, as amended, is limited by certain provisions of the indenture governing the Senior Notes.

The Revolving Credit Facility, as amended, and the terms of the indenture governing the Senior Notes contain certain restrictions and require the Company to meet certain financial and other covenants. The Company was in compliance with the covenants of both the Revolving Credit Facility and the Senior Notes at October 1, 2005, January 1, 2005 and October 2, 2004.

As of October 1, 2005, the Company had approximately $118,899 of cash and cash equivalents available as collateral against outstanding letters of credit of $51,179 and approximately $33,112 of other cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries. As of October 1, 2005, the Company had $242,720 of credit available under its Revolving Credit Facility which included available borrowings of $175,000 and cash and cash equivalents, net of outstanding letters of credits, of $67,720. At October 1, 2005, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Company earned interest income of $1,284 and $558 for the Three Months Ended October 1, 2005 and the Three Months Ended October 2, 2004, respectively, and $2,346 and $1,530 for the Nine

Note 18—	Restatement of Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet at October 2, 2004 and Consolidated Condensed Statement of Cash Flows for the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004

As previously disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2005, the Company restated its consolidated balance sheet at January 3, 2004 and its consolidated statement of cash flows for the period February 5, 2003 to January 3, 2004. The Company reviewed its accounting for operating leases and determined that its method of accounting for rent that was deferred during the pre-occupancy renovation period and its netting of cash received from the landlord against the cost of leasehold improvements, in each case, related to the lease for the Company's New York headquarters, did not conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The consolidated condensed balance sheet as of October 2, 2004 and the consolidated condensed statement of cash flows for the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004 have been restated accordingly. A summary of the effects of the restatement is presented below:

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The Warnaco Group, Inc. ("Warnaco Group" and, collectively with its subsidiaries, the "Company") is subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause its future results of operations to differ materially from its historical results of operations and those expected in the future or that could affect the value of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"). Except for the historical information contained herein, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the following discussion, contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See "Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Disclosure."

The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is a summary and should be read in conjunction with: (i) the consolidated condensed financial statements and related notes thereto which are included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q; and (ii) the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2005. The period July 3, 2005 to October 1, 2005 (the "Third Quarter of Fiscal 2005"), the period January 2, 2005 to October 1, 2005 (the "Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005"), the period July 4, 2004 to October 2, 2004 (the "Third Quarter of Fiscal 2004") and the period January 4, 2004 to October 2, 2004 (the "Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004") contained thirteen weeks, thirty-nine weeks, thirteen weeks, and thirty-nine weeks, respectively, of operations. References to "Core Brands" in the context of the Company's Intimate Apparel Group refer to the Company's Warner's^®, Olga^®, and Body Nancy Ganz/Bodyslimmers^® brand names. References to "Fashion Brands" in the context of the Company's Intimate Apparel Group refer to the Company's Lejaby^®, Axcelerate engineered by Speedo^® ("Axcelerate") and J. Lo by Jennifer Lopez^® ("JLO") brand names. References to "Designer" in the context of the Swimwear Group refer to the Company's Cole of California^®, Catalina^®, Anne Cole^®, Lifeguard^®, Nautica^®, Calvin Klein^® and Michael Kors^® brand names.

Overview

The Company designs, sources, manufactures, markets, licenses and distributes intimate apparel, sportswear and swimwear worldwide through a broad line of highly recognized brand names. The Company's products are distributed primarily to wholesale customers through multiple distribution channels, including major department stores, independent retailers, membership clubs, chain stores, specialty and other stores and mass merchandisers. There are also 92 Calvin Klein retail stores worldwide (consisting of 51 stores directly operated by the Company, including one on-line store, and 41 stores operated under retail licenses or distributorship agreements). The Company's Swimwear Group also operates two Speedo^® outlet stores which opened in July 2005 and one on-line store.

During the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005, the Company saw improvements in its operations and results which the Company believes were driven in part by the effectiveness of its merchandising and brand strategies. Strength in the Sportswear Group resulted in an 18.6% increase in Sportswear Group net revenues for Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005 compared to the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004, which the Company believes demonstrates the successful execution of its expanded product and distribution strategies. In the Intimate Apparel Group, Calvin Klein underwear net revenues increased 10.1% for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005 compared to the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004. In addition, Core Brands net revenues increased 1.7% for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005 compared to the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004.

The Company continues to plan for its long-term growth and profitability by investing in its operating platform and infrastructure. During the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005, the Company continued the implementation of SAP's Apparel and Footwear Solution (an enterprise-wide computer software platform encompassing finance, sales and distribution and materials management) ("SAP") in both its Swimwear Group and certain corporate shared services departments. The Company expects to complete implementation of SAP in its Swimwear Group and certain corporate shared services departments in the first quarter of 2006. The Company believes that this enterprise software solution will enable management to better and more efficiently gather, analyze and assess information worldwide.

The Company has identified many near-term opportunities for growth and operational improvement, as well as challenges and uncertainties relating to certain of its businesses. In particular,

management believes that there are many factors influencing the manufacturing and procurement business cycle of the apparel industry, including but not limited to uncertainty surrounding ongoing import restrictions (including recently established limits on imports of certain intimate apparel products from Asia), overall deflation in the selling prices of apparel products and consolidation of its retail customers. See "Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Disclosure." The Company will continue to address these and other challenges by, among other things, seeking to: (i) improve its procurement process and identify and utilize lower cost, high quality reliable sourcing partners; (ii) focus on operational controls and efficiency by continuing its investment in its infrastructure; (iii) continue to develop and invest in its portfolio of desirable brands while maintaining a diverse product offering at competitive price points across multiple channels of distribution; (iv) expand its product offerings with existing customers; (v) introduce new products in new channels of distribution; and (vi) identify strategic acquisition opportunities.

On July 12, 2005, the Company announced the election of Donald L. Seeley to the Board of Directors. With the addition of Mr. Seeley, seven of the eight directors of the Company are independent.

Financial and Operating Highlights

Third Quarter

Net revenues increased $3.2 million, or 1.0%, to $327.7 million for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2005 as compared to $324.4 million for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2004, reflecting an increase of $6.7 million in the Swimwear Group, partially offset by declines of $1.7 million and $1.8 million in the Intimate Apparel Group and Sportswear Group, respectively. The decline in Sportswear Group net revenues reflects the timing of certain shipments of Calvin Klein jeans products to membership clubs which occurred in the first half of fiscal 2005 while comparable sales occurred in the second half of fiscal 2004, partially offset by increases in Chaps^® net revenues. Calvin Klein underwear revenues were up 9.9% while revenues in the remainder of the Intimate Apparel Group's businesses declined due in part to challenging comparisons as a result of the 2004 JLO launch. In translating foreign currencies into the United States dollar, the net weakness of the United States dollar relative to the functional currencies where the Company conducts certain of its operations (primarily the euro in Europe and Canadian dollar in Canada) resulted in a $1.6 million increase in net revenues for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2005 compared to the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2004.

Gross profit increased $10.0 million, or 9.7%, to $112.7 million for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2005 compared to $102.7 million for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2004, attributable to increases in the Company's Sportswear and Intimate Apparel Groups, partially offset by a slight decrease in the Swimwear Group. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues ("gross margin") increased from 31.6% for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2004 to 34.4% for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2005 primarily reflecting cost savings resulting from sourcing initiatives implemented in the 2004 fiscal year coupled with an improved regular to off-price sales mix. In translating foreign currencies into the United States dollar, the net weakness of the United States dollar relative to the functional currencies where the Company conducts certain of its operations (primarily the euro in Europe and Canadian dollar in Canada) resulted in a $0.7 million increase in gross profit for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2005 compared to the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2004.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased $5.9 million, or 6.2%, to $100.0 million (30.5% of net revenues) for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2005 from $94.1 million (29.0% of net revenues) for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2004. Selling and marketing expenses (including distribution expenses) increased $2.3 million, primarily reflecting the full period effect and vertical integration of the Ocean Pacific^® business (acquired in August 2004) coupled with expenses associated with the launches of Michael Kors and Calvin Klein swimwear. Administrative expenses increased $3.5 million reflecting an increase in administrative expenses related to operating groups of $2.5 million coupled with an increase in unallocated corporate expenses of $1.0 million. The increase in operating group administrative expenses primarily reflects increases related to a full period of operations of the

Company's Ocean Pacific business coupled with increases related to the Company's expansion of its retail business, partially offset by net cost savings across other groups. The increase in unallocated corporate expenses includes an increase in employee benefits ($0.8 million) as a result of planned enhancements to employee benefit programs, charges related to the Company's SAP implementation (which commenced in the fourth quarter of the 2004 fiscal year) ($0.7 million) and other net increases ($0.6 million), partially offset by a reduction in professional fees of $1.1 million associated with Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("SOX") compliance and an internal control review conducted in connection with the Company's previously disclosed settlement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on May 11, 2004. In translating foreign currencies into the United States dollar, the net weakness of the United States dollar relative to the functional currencies where the Company conducts certain of its operations (primarily the euro in Europe and Canadian dollar in Canada) resulted in a $0.2 million increase in SG&A expenses for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2005 compared to the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2004.

Operating income increased to $13.7 million (4.2% of net revenues) for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2005 compared to $7.8 million (2.4% of net revenues) for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2004 primarily reflecting an increase in group operating income combined with a reversal of restructuring accruals, partially offset by an increase in unallocated corporate expenses. The improvement in operating margin reflects the reversal of certain restructuring accruals and a 280 basis point increase in gross margin, partially offset by a 150 basis point increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net revenues. In translating foreign currencies into the United States dollar, the net weakness of the United States dollar relative to the functional currencies where the Company conducts certain of its operations (primarily the euro in Europe and Canadian dollar in Canada) resulted in a $0.5 million increase in operating income for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2005 compared to the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2004.

Net income increased to $6.9 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2005 compared to $1.6 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2004. The improvement in net income resulted primarily from the increase in gross profit, the increase in restructuring income, lower interest expense and lower tax expense. The Company's tax provision for the quarter benefited from the reconciliation of its tax accounts related to the filing of the Company's 2004 tax returns.

Nine Months

Net revenues increased $92.1 million, or 8.8%, to $1,141.9 million for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005 as compared to $1,049.8 million for the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004. The majority of the increase was attributable to expanded distribution of the Sportswear Group's Chaps brand and the continued strength of the Calvin Klein jeans brand. Net revenues for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005 benefited from the timing of certain sales of Calvin Klein jeans products to membership clubs. The increase in sales to membership clubs reflects the timing of certain shipments which occurred in the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005 while comparable sales occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004. The increase in net revenues also reflects increases in the Intimate Apparel Group, primarily in the Company's Warner's brand and Calvin Klein underwear brand. In addition, net revenues increased in the Swimwear Group reflecting revenues of $7.7 million for Ocean Pacific (acquired on August 19, 2004) for the full Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005 and revenues of Calvin Klein swimwear in Europe and the United States, partially offset by a decrease in Speedo. In translating foreign currencies into the United States dollar, the weakness of the United States dollar relative to the functional currencies where the Company conducts certain of its operations (primarily the euro in Europe and Canadian dollar in Canada) resulted in an $11.4 million increase in net revenues for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005 compared to the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004.

Gross profit increased $35.0 million, or 10.1%, to $382.6 million for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005 compared to $347.6 million for the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004, attributable to increases in the Sportswear and Intimate Apparel Groups, partially offset by a decrease in the Swimwear Group. Gross margin increased from 33.1% for the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004 to

33.5% for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005 primarily reflecting an improved regular to off-price sales mix, partially offset by less favorable markdown and allowance experience. Gross profit also includes the effect of design and merchandising expenses related to the introduction of new products, primarily Op^®, Calvin Klein swimwear, Michael Kors and Axcelerate. In translating foreign currencies into the United States dollar, the weakness of the United States dollar relative to the functional currencies where the Company conducts certain of its operations (primarily the euro in Europe and Canadian dollar in Canada) resulted in a $4.7 million increase in gross profit for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005 compared to the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004.

SG&A expenses increased $21.4 million, or 7.7%, to $300.4 million (26.3% of net revenues) for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005 from $279.0 million (26.6% of net revenues) for the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004. Selling and marketing expenses (including distribution expenses) increased $14.1 million, primarily as a result of the associated increase in net revenues, a full period of operations in the Company's Ocean Pacific business which was acquired in August 2004 and expenses associated with the launches of Michael Kors and Calvin Klein swimwear. Administrative expenses increased $7.3 million reflecting an increase in expenses related to operating groups of $4.5 million coupled with an increase in unallocated corporate expenses of $2.8 million. The increase in administrative expenses related to the operating groups reflects the full period effect and vertical integration of the Ocean Pacific business (acquired in August 2004), increases related to the Company's expansion of its retail business and the provision for an uncollectible non-trade receivable balance (totaling $1.5 million, $0.3 million of which is included in restructuring items) in the Intimate Apparel segment, partially offset by net cost savings across other groups. The increase in unallocated corporate expenses includes an increase in employee benefits ($1.6 million) as a result of planned enhancements to employee benefit programs, charges related to the Company's SAP implementation (which commenced in the fourth quarter of the 2004 fiscal year) ($2.0 million) and other items, net, of $0.7 million, partially offset by a reduction in professional fees of $1.5 million primarily associated with SOX compliance and an internal control review conducted in connection with the Company's previously disclosed settlement with the SEC on May 11, 2004. In translating foreign currencies into the United States dollar, the weakness of the United States dollar relative to the functional currencies where the Company conducts certain of its operations (primarily the euro in Europe and Canadian dollar in Canada) resulted in a $2.8 million increase in SG&A expenses for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005 compared to the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004.

Operating income increased to $82.2 million (7.2% of net revenues) for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005 compared to $63.8 million (6.1% of net revenues) for the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004, primarily reflecting an increase in gross profit combined with a decrease in restructuring expenses, partially offset by an increase in SG&A expenses. The improvement in operating margin reflects the decrease in restructuring costs coupled with a 40 basis point increase in gross margin and a 30 basis point decline in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net revenues. In translating foreign currencies into the United States dollar, the weakness of the United States dollar relative to the functional currencies where the Company conducts certain of its operations (primarily the euro in Europe and Canadian dollar in Canada) resulted in a $1.9 million increase in operating income for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005 compared to the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004.

Net income increased to $42.6 million, or $0.92 per diluted share, for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005 compared to $26.3 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, for the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004. The improvement in net income resulted primarily from the increase in gross profit, the increase in restructuring income, lower interest expense and lower tax expense.

Accounts receivable decreased $7.5 million from $219.8 million at January 1, 2005 to $212.3 million at October 2, 2005. The decrease primarily reflects initial shipments of Chaps into the mid-tier channel of distribution at the end of December 2004 which resulted in an unusually high level of accounts receivable for the Chaps division at the end of fiscal 2004. In addition, the Company has improved its rate of collections, improving its nine month average days sales outstanding from 57 days at October 2, 2004 to 55 days at October 1, 2005. Accounts receivable were flat at $212.3 million as of October 1, 2005 compared to $212.3 million as of October 2, 2004.

Inventories decreased $23.0 million from $335.6 million at January 1, 2005 to $312.6 million at October 1, 2005, primarily related to a $17.8 million decrease in Swimwear Group inventory reflecting the seasonal shipment of swimwear products, combined with a $15.3 million decrease in Intimate Apparel inventory due primarily to a decrease in the Intimate Apparel Group's level of excess and obsolete inventory, partially offset by a $10.1 million increase in Sportswear Group inventory due primarily to the expansion of the Chaps brand into the mid-tier channel of distribution. Inventories at October 1, 2005 increased $8.0 million to $312.6 million from $304.6 million at October 2, 2004, primarily related to a $10.6 million increase in Sportswear Group inventory reflecting the expansion of the Chaps brand into the mid-tier channel of distribution, combined with a $9.3 million increase in Swimwear Group inventory due primarily to a challenging swimwear season, partially offset by a $11.9 million decrease in Intimate Apparel inventory due primarily to a decrease in the Intimate Apparel Group's level of excess and obsolete inventory. The Company has identified inventory having a carrying value of $63.3 million as potentially excess at October 1, 2005 compared to inventory having a carrying value of $53.5 million as potentially excess at January 1, 2005. The increase in excess inventory reflects increases in Swimwear ($9.8 million), Chaps ($4.9 million), Calvin Klein underwear in Europe ($5.8 million) and other divisions, net ($0.9 million), partially offset by decreases in Intimate Apparel (exclusive of Calvin Klein underwear in Europe) of $11.6 million. Reductions to reduce the carrying value of excess inventory to estimated net realizable value totaled $24.3 million (38.3% of carrying value) at October 1, 2005 compared to $22.4 million (41.9% of cost) at January 1, 2005. The decrease in inventory carrying value as a percentage of potentially excess inventory reflects the mix of inventory and historical realization rates for the sales of goods by type and location.

Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to use judgment in making certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses in its consolidated condensed financial statements and accompanying notes.

Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results of operations and require difficult, subjective and complex judgments by management in order to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. As previously reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2005, the Company's most critical accounting policies pertain to revenue recognition, cost of goods sold, accounts receivable, inventories, long-lived assets, income taxes, pension plan, stock-based compensation, advertising costs, goodwill, and restructuring items. In applying such policies, management must record income and expense amounts that are based upon informed judgments and best estimates. Because of the uncertainty inherent in these estimates, actual results could differ from estimates used in applying the critical accounting policies. Changes in such estimates, based on more accurate future information, may affect amounts reported in future periods. Management is not aware of any reasonably likely events or circumstances which would result in different amounts being reported that would materially affect the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

Accounts Receivable

The Company maintains reserves for estimated amounts that the Company does not expect to collect from its trade customers. Accounts receivable reserves include amounts the Company expects its customers to deduct for returns, allowances, trade discounts, markdowns, amounts for accounts that go out of business or seek the protection of the Bankruptcy Code and amounts related to charges in dispute with customers. The Company's estimates of the allowance amounts that are necessary are updated on a monthly basis and include amounts for specific deductions the Company has authorized and an amount for other estimated losses. Adjustments to accounts receivable reserves for specific account allowances and negotiated settlements of customer deductions are recorded in the period the specific adjustment is identified. The provision for accounts receivable allowances is affected by general economic conditions, the financial condition of the Company's customers, the inventory

position of the Company's customers and many other factors. The determination of accounts receivable reserves is subject to significant levels of judgment and estimation by the Company's management. If circumstances change or economic conditions deteriorate, the Company may need to increase the reserve significantly. The Company has purchased credit insurance to help mitigate the potential losses it may incur from the bankruptcy, reorganization or liquidation of some of its customers.

As of October 1, 2005, January 1, 2005 and October 2, 2004, the Company had $260.5 million, $271.9 million and $255.2 million of open trade invoices and other receivables and $4.5 million, $2.8 million and $8.0 million of open debit memos, net of credit memos, respectively. Based upon the Company's analysis of estimated recoveries and collections associated with the related invoices and debit memos, as of October 1, 2005, January 1, 2005 and October 2, 2004, the Company recorded $52.7 million, $54.9 million and $50.9 million of accounts receivable reserves, respectively.

Inventories

The Company records purchases of inventory when it assumes title and the risk of loss. The Company values its inventories at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, or market. The Company evaluates its inventories to determine excess units or slow-moving styles based upon quantities on hand, orders in house and expected future orders. For those items for which the Company believes it has an excess supply or for styles or colors that are obsolete, the Company estimates the net amount that it expects to realize from the sale of such items. The Company's objective is to recognize projected inventory losses at the time the loss is evident rather than when the goods are ultimately sold. The Company's calculation of the reduction in carrying value necessary for the disposition of excess inventory is highly dependent on its projections of future sales of those products and the prices it is able to obtain for such products. The Company reviews its inventory position monthly and adjusts its carrying value for excess goods based on revised projections and current market conditions for the disposition of excess inventory. If economic conditions worsen, the Company may have to decrease its carrying value of excess goods substantially.

The Company has identified inventory with a carrying value of $63.3 million as potentially excess at October 1, 2005 compared to $53.5 million at January 1, 2005 and $43.1 million at October 2, 2004. Reductions to reduce the carrying value of excess inventory to estimated net realizable value totaled $24.3 million (38.3% of carrying value) at October 1, 2005 compared to $22.4 million (41.9% of carrying value) at January 1, 2005 and $23.2 million (53.8% of carrying value) at October 2, 2004. The decrease in inventory carrying value as a percentage of potentially excess inventory reflects the mix of inventory and historical realization rates for the sales of excess goods by type and location.

(a)	Includes net revenues from Intimate Apparel Group operated retail and on-line stores of approximately $7.5 million, $5.6 million, $20.3 million and $14.2 million in the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2005, Third Quarter of Fiscal 2004, Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005 and Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004, respectively.

Third Quarter

The increase in Calvin Klein underwear net revenues reflects increases of $5.4 million in Europe, $3.1 million in Asia and $0.3 million in Mexico, partially offset by a combined decrease of $0.2 million in the United States and Canada. The increase in Europe primarily reflects increases in the men's and women's business and increased sales in the Company's retail stores. The increase in Asia reflects the effects of the Company's expansion initiatives in China, Korea, Taiwan and Japan combined with increases in existing distribution channels. Net revenues in the United States declined $0.1 million; however, the sales mix improved, as evidenced by a $2.0 million increase in regular price sales and a $2.1 million decrease in sales through off-price channels.

The decrease in Core Brands net revenues reflects a $4.7 million decrease in the United States, partially offset by a combined net increase of $0.2 million in foreign countries. The decrease in the United States reflects volume related decreases, primarily in the off-price and club channels of distribution. Despite the decrease in volumes, sales mix improved as evidenced by the reduction in the ratio of off-price sales to total sales.

The decrease in Fashion Brands net revenues primarily reflects a $7.2 million decrease in the United States, partially offset by a combined net increase of $1.5 million in foreign countries. The decrease in net revenues in the United States primarily reflects a comparison to the initial launch period of JLO in the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2004. The increase in foreign net revenues primarily reflects an increase in Lejaby net revenues related primarily to volume and price increases in Europe.

Nine Months

The increase in Calvin Klein underwear net revenues reflects increases of $10.5 million in Europe, $7.6 million in Asia, $3.1 million in the United States, $1.6 million in Mexico and $0.4 million in Canada. The increase in Europe reflects volume increases in the men's and women's business and increased sales in the Company's retail stores combined with the positive translation impact of a stronger euro relative to the United States dollar. The increase in Asia reflects the effects of the Company's expansion initiatives in China, Korea, Taiwan and Japan combined with increases in existing distribution channels. The increase in the United States primarily reflects continued strength in the men's business (increase of $9.5 million) combined with increases in other lines, net, of $2.8 million, partially offset by continued declines in the women's business (decrease of $9.2 million). The increase in the men's business reflects increases in sales to retail stores operated by Calvin Klein Inc. and increases in sales to customers in the off-price channel, partially offset by a decrease in department store sales. In an effort to address the weakness in the women's business, the Company launched its Perfectly Fit line of women's intimate apparel. The increase in Mexico primarily reflects volume increases related to improved customer service levels.

The increase in Core Brands net revenues primarily reflects increases of $1.6 million and $1.3 million in Canada and Mexico, respectively, partially offset by decreases of $0.8 million and $0.3 million in the United States and Asia, respectively. The increase in revenues in Canada primarily reflects the positive translation impact of a stronger Canadian dollar relative to the United States dollar. The increase in revenues in Mexico primarily reflects volume increases related to improved customer service levels. The decrease in the United States primarily reflects an increase in Warner's net revenues and an increase in sales to membership clubs as a result of the Company's expansion into the clubs distribution channel, more than offset by declines in the Olga and Body Nancy Ganz/Bodyslimmers brands and the private label business. Management believes the improved performance of the Warner's brand is the result of its ongoing efforts to reinvigorate this brand. The declines in the Olga and Body Nancy Ganz/Bodyslimmers brands were due to the limited success of new product introductions in fiscal 2004 and fewer new product launches in 2005.

The decrease in Fashion Brands net revenues primarily reflects a $4.2 million decrease in the United States, partially offset by a $3.1 million increase in foreign countries. The decline in the United States reflects declines in JLO ($2.4 million) and in Lejaby Rose ($2.2 million). Declines in JLO reflect a comparison to the initial launch period of the JLO brand in the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2004. Declines in Lejaby Rose reflect the repositioning of that brand to a limited, upscale department store distribution. The increase in foreign countries primarily relates to the introduction of JLO in Europe in the first quarter of the 2005 fiscal year.

Sportswear Group

Sportswear Group net revenues were as follows:


	Third Quarter of Fiscal 2005		Third Quarter of Fiscal 2004		Increase (Decrease)			% Change	Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005		Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004		Increase (Decrease)			% Change

(a)	The Calvin Klein accessories license will expire on December 31, 2005; the Company does not anticipate renewing this license.

Third Quarter

Calvin Klein jeans net revenues decreased $10.2 million and $0.1 million in United States and foreign operations, respectively. The decrease in net revenues in the United States primarily reflects a decrease in sales to membership clubs ($12.8 million) coupled with a planned reduction of sales to customers in the off-price channel ($3.9 million), partially offset by increases in department store sales ($6.0 million) and net increases across all other channels of distribution ($0.5 million). The decrease in sales to membership clubs reflects the timing of certain shipments which occurred in the second quarter of the 2005 fiscal year while comparable shipments occurred in the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2004.

The increase in Chaps net revenues reflects an increase of $8.1 million in the United States coupled with a $0.3 million net increase in foreign countries. The increase in Chaps net revenues in the United States primarily reflects the Company's expansion into the mid-tier channel of distribution (increase of $16.4 million), partially offset by declines of $6.4 million and $1.9 million, respectively, in department store sales and all other channels of distribution. The decrease in department store sales reflects Chaps' planned exit from certain department store accounts in 2005.

Nine Months

Calvin Klein jeans net revenues increased $18.9 million reflecting increases of $14.5 million, $3.1 million and $1.3 million in the United States, Mexico and Canada, respectively. The increase in net revenues in the United States primarily reflects an increase in sales to membership clubs ($7.2 million), increases in sales to department stores ($8.0 million) and increases in sales to stores operated by the Calvin Klein jeans licensor ($3.9 million), partially offset by a planned decrease of sales to customers in the off-price channel ($2.9 million) and net decreases across all other channels of distribution ($1.7 million). The increase in sales to membership clubs reflects the Company's expansion into the clubs distribution channel coupled with the effects of timing related to certain shipments which occurred in the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005 while comparable sales occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004.

The increase in Chaps net revenues reflects an increase of $39.6 million in the United States coupled with a $1.5 million net increase in foreign countries. The increase in Chaps net revenues in the United States primarily reflects the Company's expansion into the mid-tier channel of distribution (increase of $43.7 million) coupled with an increase in sales to off-price customers ($12.2 million), partially offset by declines of $13.5 million and $2.8 million, respectively, in department store sales and all other channels of distribution. Sales to mid-tier customers included sales of Chaps denim products which were introduced in June 2004 and which generated incremental net revenues of $16.4 million for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005 compared to the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004. The decrease in department store sales reflects Chaps' planned exit from certain department store accounts in 2005.

Swimwear Group

Swimwear Group net revenues were as follows:


	Third Quarter of Fiscal 2005		Third Quarter of Fiscal 2004		Increase (Decrease)		% Change			Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005		Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004		Increase (Decrease)			% Change

(a)	Consists of licensing revenues.

Third Quarter

The increase in Speedo net revenues primarily reflects the timing of certain shipments of girls' products to membership clubs ($4.5 million) and a $0.6 million volume related increase attributable to sales of Speedo activewear, partially offset by a reduction in off price sales. The increase in Designer net revenues reflects higher early seasonal shipments of Nautica and Anne Cole swimwear, and timing of deliveries to mass merchandisers. The increase in Ocean Pacific net revenues relates to the acquisition of Ocean Pacific in August 2004 and represents royalty revenues.

Nine Months

The decrease in Speedo net revenues reflects a $12.1 million increase in sales to membership clubs and team dealers, more than offset by a $17.0 million decrease across all other channels of distribution reflecting lower order levels which the Company believes is due to poor weather in the first half of the 2005 fiscal year. The increase in Designer net revenues reflects approximately $6.8 million related to the introduction of CK Choice™ swimwear in Europe and the United States and $9.2 million of additional revenues related to private label brands in the U.S, partially offset by a decrease of $11.5 million across all other Designer brands. The Company believes that the decrease in other Designer brands is related to poor weather conditions experienced in the first half of the 2005 fiscal year. The increase in Ocean Pacific net revenues relates to the acquisition of Ocean Pacific in August 2004 and represents royalty revenues.

Gross Profit

Gross profit was as follows:


	Third Quarter of Fiscal 2005		% of Segment Net Revenues			Third Quarter of Fiscal 2004		% of Segment Net Revenues			Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005		% of Segment Net Revenues			Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004		% of Segment Net Revenues

Third Quarter

Intimate Apparel Group gross profit increased $8.7 million, or 15.8%, and gross margin increased 600 basis points. The increase in gross profit and gross margin reflects strength in the Company's Calvin Klein underwear business (increased gross profit of $7.9 million) and strength in the Core Brands business (increased gross profit of $3.5 million), partially offset by a decrease in Fashion Brands (decreased gross profit of $2.7 million). The increase in gross margin in the Company's Calvin Klein underwear business and Core Brands business primarily reflects an improved sales mix as a result of a reduction in off-price sales coupled with more favorable markdowns and allowances experience and a reduction in other costs due to sourcing initiatives and improved inventory control. The Company believes that the improved sales mix reflects a more favorable reception of the Intimate Apparel Group's Core Brands products at retail, primarily Warner's. The decrease in Fashion Brands gross profit reflects a comparison to the initial launch period of JLO in the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2004.

Sportswear Group gross profit increased $1.4 million, or 3.5%, for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2005 compared to the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2004. Calvin Klein jeans gross profit decreased $1.4 million; however, Calvin Klein jeans gross margin increased 240 basis points, primarily reflecting an improved regular to off-price sales mix. Chaps gross profit increased $2.6 million and Chaps gross margin increased 100 basis points reflecting the increase in net revenues described previously and an improved sales mix.

Swimwear Group gross profit decreased $0.1 million, or 1.0% for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2005 compared to the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2004. The decrease primarily reflects increases in manufacturing costs and design and development costs related to the development of new lines such as Op, Michael Kors and Calvin Klein, partially offset by increased gross profit on higher net revenues as described above.

Nine Months

Intimate Apparel Group gross profit increased $17.5 million, or 11.5%, and gross margin increased 200 basis points. The increase in gross profit reflects strength in the Company's Calvin Klein underwear business (increased gross profit of $15.6 million) and strength in the Core Brands business (increased gross profit of $6.4 million), partially offset by a decrease in Fashion Brands (decreased gross profit of $4.5 million). The increase in gross margin primarily reflects an improved regular to off-price sales mix, coupled with more favorable markdowns and allowances experience in the Company's Core Brands business and a reduction in other costs due to the transition to an outsourced model and improved product procurement and inventory control. The Company believes that the improved sales mix reflects a more favorable reception of the Intimate Apparel Group's products at retail. The decrease in gross profit in Fashion Brands reflects a comparison to the initial launch period of the JLO brand in the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2004.

Sportswear Group gross profit increased $21.0 million, or 22.6%, for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005 compared to the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004. The increase in gross profit

primarily reflects strength in Calvin Klein jeans ($9.4 million increase in gross profit) and Chaps ($11.3 million increase in gross profit). Sportswear Group gross margin increased 100 basis points, primarily reflecting an improved regular to off-price sales mix in the Calvin Klein jeans business.

Swimwear Group gross profit decreased $3.4 million, or 3.4%, for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005 compared to the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004. The decrease primarily reflects increases in manufacturing costs and design and development costs related to the development of new lines such as Op, Michael Kors, Calvin Klein and CK Choice, partially offset by increased gross profit on higher net revenues described above.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Third Quarter

SG&A expenses increased $5.9 million, or 6.2%, to $100.0 million (30.5% of net revenues) for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2005 from $94.1 million (29.0% of net revenues) for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2004. Selling and marketing expenses (including distribution expenses) increased $2.3 million primarily reflecting the full period effect and vertical integration of the Ocean Pacific business (acquired in August 2004) coupled with expenses associated with the launches of Michael Kors and Calvin Klein swimwear. Administrative expenses increased $3.5 million reflecting an increase in administrative expenses related to operating groups of $2.5 million coupled with an increase in unallocated corporate expenses of a $1.0 million. The increase in operating group administrative expenses primarily reflects increases related to the full period of operations in the Company's Ocean Pacific business coupled with increases related to the Company's expansion of its retail business, partially offset by net cost savings across other groups. The increase in unallocated corporate expenses includes an increase in employee benefits ($0.8 million) as a result of planned enhancements to employee benefit programs, charges related to the Company's SAP implementation (which commenced in the fourth quarter of the 2004 fiscal year) ($0.7 million) and other net increases ($0.6 million), partially offset by a reduction in professional fees of $1.1 million associated with SOX compliance and an internal control review conducted in connection with the Company's previously disclosed settlement with the SEC on May 11, 2004. In translating foreign currencies into the United States dollar, the net weakness of the United States dollar relative to the functional currencies where the Company conducts certain of its operations (primarily the euro in Europe and Canadian dollar in Canada) resulted in a $0.2 million increase in SG&A expenses for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2005 compared to the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2004.

Nine Months

SG&A expenses increased $21.4 million, or 7.7%, to $300.4 million (26.3% of net revenues) for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005 from $279.0 million (26.6% of net revenues) for the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004. Selling and marketing expenses (including distribution expenses) increased $14.1 million, primarily as a result of the increase in net revenues, a full period of operations in the Company's Ocean Pacific business which was acquired in August 2004 and new product introductions. Administrative expenses increased $7.3 million reflecting an increase in expenses related to operating groups of $4.5 million coupled with an increase in unallocated corporate expenses of $2.8 million. The increase in administrative expenses related to the operating groups reflects the full period effect and vertical integration of the Ocean Pacific business (acquired in August 2004), increases related to the Company's expansion of its retail business and the provision for an uncollectible non-trade receivable balance (totaling $1.5 million, $0.3 million of which is included in restructuring items) in the Intimate Apparel segment, partially offset by net cost savings across other groups. The increase in unallocated corporate expenses includes an increase in employee benefits ($1.6 million) as a result of planned enhancements to employee benefit programs, charges related to the Company's SAP implementation (which commenced in the fourth quarter of the 2004 fiscal year) ($2.0 million) and other items, net, of $0.7 million, partially offset by a reduction in professional fees of $1.5 million primarily associated with SOX compliance and an internal control review conducted in connection with the Company's previously disclosed settlement with the SEC on May 11, 2004. In

translating foreign currencies into the United States dollar, the weakness of the United States dollar relative to the functional currencies where the Company conducts certain of its operations (primarily the euro in Europe and Canadian dollar in Canada) resulted in a $2.8 million increase in SG&A expenses for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005 compared to the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004.

Restructuring Expense (Income)

During the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2005 and Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005, the Company recorded restructuring income of $1.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, related primarily to a reversal of accruals due to a reduction in the estimated amounts required for employee terminations, partially offset by expenses incurred in connection with the continuation of activities commenced in prior periods associated with the closure, consolidation or sale of certain facilities. During the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2004 and Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004, the Company recorded restructuring expense of $0.4 million and $3.9 million, respectively. See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

Third Quarter

Intimate Apparel Group operating income increased $5.2 million, or 30.1%, reflecting increases in Calvin Klein underwear and Core Brands, partially offset by decreases in Fashion Brands. The $5.9 million increase in Calvin Klein underwear operating income reflects a $7.9 million increase in gross profit (as described above), partially offset by a $2.0 million increase in SG&A expenses. The increase

in SG&A expenses primarily reflects increases in variable selling expenses as a result of the increase in net revenues ($3.2 million) coupled with an increase in administrative costs, partially offset by a decrease in marketing expenses as a result of the timing of certain advertising programs. The $2.8 million increase in Core Brands operating income reflects an increase in gross profit of $3.5 million (as described above), partially offset by an increase in SG&A expenses of $0.7 million. The increase in SG&A expenses primarily reflects an increase in marketing expenses. Fashion Brands operating income decreased $3.5 million primarily reflecting a $2.7 million decrease in gross profit (as described above) coupled with a $0.8 million increase in SG&A expenses. The increase in SG&A expenses reflects an increase of $1.6 million and $0.2 million related to Lejaby and Axcelerate, respectively, partially offset by a reduction of $1.0 million related to JLO. The increase in Lejaby SG&A expenses reflects an increase in marketing expenses coupled with an increase in selling and administrative expenses, primarily associated with increased net revenues in Europe and timing of advertising. The decrease in JLO SG&A expenses reflects increased marketing expense in the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2004 associated with the launch of this brand in July 2004.

Nine Months

Intimate Apparel Group operating income increased $10.0 million, or 25.7%, reflecting increases in Calvin Klein underwear and Core Brands, partially offset by decreases in Fashion Brands. The $8.2 million increase in Calvin Klein underwear operating income reflects a $15.6 million increase in gross profit (as described above), partially offset by a $7.4 million increase in SG&A expenses (primarily reflecting an increase in variable selling expenses as a result of the increase in net revenues described above and SG&A increases in Europe primarily related to the unfavorable effect of currency translation coupled with a $1.2 million provision for an uncollectible non-trade receivable). The $7.5 million increase in Core Brands operating income reflects an increase in gross profit of $6.4 million coupled with a $1.0 million decrease in SG&A expenses, primarily as a result of cost cutting initiatives undertaken by management. Management believes the improved performance of the Core Brands in the United States is the result of its ongoing efforts to reinvigorate these brands coupled with expansion of these brands into the membership clubs distribution channel. The $5.7 million decrease in Fashion Brands operating income reflects the decrease in gross profit of $4.5 million described previously, coupled with a $1.2 million increase in SG&A expenses. The increase in SG&A expenses reflects a reduction in marketing expenses of $2.1 million primarily related to the launches, in the 2004 fiscal year, of JLO and Lejaby Rose in the United States, more than offset by an increase in variable selling and distribution expenses of $2.8 million as a result of the increase in net revenues in Europe.

(a)	The Calvin Klein accessories license will expire on December 31, 2005.

Third Quarter

Sportswear Group operating income increased $3.4 million, or 17.8%. Operating income for Calvin Klein jeans remained relatively flat. The $2.1 million increase in Chaps operating income reflects an increase in gross profit of $2.6 million, partially offset by a $0.5 million increase in SG&A

expenses. The increase in SG&A expenses reflects a $0.2 million decline in marketing expenses (marketing expenses in the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2004 included incremental advertising expenses related to the launch of the denim line) and a $0.2 million decrease in administrative expenses, more than offset by a $0.9 increase in variable selling expenses due to increased sales volumes. The $1.7 million increase in Calvin Klein accessories operating income reflects an increase of $0.4 million in gross profit combined with a $1.3 million decrease in SG&A expenses.

Nine Months

Sportswear Group operating income increased $19.1 million, or 48.2%, primarily due to increases in operating income in Calvin Klein jeans and Chaps.

The $6.0 million increase in Chaps operating income is attributable to an $11.3 million increase in gross profit, partially offset by a $5.3 million increase in SG&A expenses. The increase in Chaps SG&A expenses primarily reflects a $2.9 million increase in marketing expenses coupled with an increase in variable selling expenses as a result of the increase in net revenues.

Third Quarter

Due to the seasonality of the swimwear business, the Swimwear Group is generally not profitable in the third quarter of the fiscal year. Swimwear Group operating loss increased $3.3 million, or 34.6%. The higher loss reflects a decrease of $0.1 million in gross profit (described above) combined with a $3.2 million increase in SG&A expenses. The increase in SG&A expenses reflects a $1.0 million decrease in marketing expenses (the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2004 included increased marketing costs related to the Olympics), more than offset by a $4.2 increase in selling and administrative expenses. The increase in selling and administrative expenses was due primarily to a full period of operations in the Company's Ocean Pacific business (acquired in August of 2004) combined with expenses associated with the launches of Michael Kors and Calvin Klein swimwear.

Nine Months

Swimwear Group operating income decreased $11.5 million, or 27.2%. The decrease reflects a $3.4 million decrease in gross profit (described above) combined with an $8.1 million increase in SG&A expenses.

The increase in selling and administrative expenses was due primarily to a full period of operations in the Company's Ocean Pacific business (acquired in August of 2004) combined with expenses associated with the launches of Michael Kors and Calvin Klein swimwear.

Other (Income) Loss

Other (income) loss for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2005 and Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005 primarily reflects a gain of $0.1 million and a net loss of $0.7 million, respectively, on the current

portion of inter-company loans to foreign subsidiaries that are denominated in United States dollars. Other (income) loss for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2004 and Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004 primarily reflects gains of $0.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively, on the current portion of inter-company loans to foreign subsidiaries that are denominated in United States dollars, offset by realized gains and losses on sales of marketable securities obtained by the Company as part of certain bankruptcy settlements and distributions.

Interest Expense, Net

Third Quarter

Interest expense decreased $0.9 million to $4.1 million for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2005 from $5.0 million for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2004. Interest expense in the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2005 included interest on the Company's 8 7/8% Senior Notes due 2013 ("Senior Notes") of $4.5 million (net of benefit related to the 2003 and 2004 Swap Agreements of approximately $0.2 million (as described below)), unused commitment fees and letter of credit charges of $0.4 million related to the $175.0 million Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, as amended (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), amortization of deferred financing fees of $0.5 million and other items of $0.3 million, partially offset by interest income of $0.2 million related to interest earned on the note receivable associated with the sale of the White Stag trademark and $1.1 million of interest earned on cash investments and cash collateral accounts. In addition, during the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2005, $0.3 million of interest expense was capitalized to fixed assets. Interest expense in the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2004 included interest on the Company's Senior Notes of $4.3 million (net of benefit of approximately $0.3 million related to the 2003 Swap Agreement), unused commitment fees and letters of credit charges of $0.6 million related to the Revolving Credit Facility, amortization of deferred financing fees of $0.6 million and other items of $0.2 million, offset by interest income of $0.5 million primarily related to interest earned on the note receivable associated with the sale of the White Stag trademark and income related to cash balances on collateral accounts.

Nine Months

Interest expense decreased $1.5 million to $13.7 million for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005 from $15.2 million for the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004.

Income Taxes

Third Quarter

The provision for income taxes of $2.7 million for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2005 consists of an income tax benefit of $4.3 million on domestic earnings and a $7.0 million income tax expense on foreign earnings. The provision for income taxes of $1.0 million for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2004 consists of an income tax benefit of $4.4 million on domestic losses and a $5.4 million income tax expense on foreign earnings.

During the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2005, the Company increased its valuation allowance by $1.9 million to $154.9 million. The change primarily reflects the utilization of foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $1.7 million (which has been recorded against goodwill) offset by other valuation allowance increases of $3.6 million. Of the $3.6 million increase in the Company's valuation allowance, $3.4 million has been recorded as an increase in goodwill consistent with changes in estimates for interim periods, and $0.2 million has been recorded to the tax provision. See Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

The effective tax rate for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2005 was approximately 28% compared to approximately 35% for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2004. The effective tax rate for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2005 reflects a benefit of approximately $0.8 million in the Company's income tax provision as a result of the filing of its 2004 tax returns.

Nine Months

The provision for income taxes of $24.9 million for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005 consists of an income tax expense of $5.8 million on domestic earnings and a $19.1 million income tax expense on foreign earnings. The provision for income taxes of $20.6 million for the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004 consists of an income tax expense of $4.9 million on domestic earnings and $15.7 million on foreign earnings.

During the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005, the Company decreased its valuation allowance by $10.9 million to $154.9 million. The decrease reflects the utilization of domestic net operating loss carryforwards of $5.7 million and the utilization of foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $5.6 million (both of which have been recorded against goodwill) partially offset by other increases in valuation allowances of $0.4 million (which has been recorded to the tax provision). See Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

The effective tax rate for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005 was approximately 37% compared to approximately 41% for the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004. The decrease in the effective tax rate is the result of a change in the mix of U.S. and international profits, as the Company's U.S. tax rate is generally higher than that of the Company's international locations.

Discontinued Operations

Third Quarter

The Company recorded a loss from discontinued operations of less than $0.1 million for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2005 and $0.3 million for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2004. See Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

Nine Months

The Company recorded a loss from discontinued operations of $0.2 million for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005 and $3.7 million for the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004. See Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

Financial Position, Capital Resources and Liquidity

Financing Arrangements

Senior Notes

On June 12, 2003, Warnaco Inc. ("Warnaco"), the principal operating subsidiary of Warnaco Group, completed the sale of $210.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes at par value, which notes mature on June 15, 2013 and bear interest at a rate of 8 7/8% payable semi-annually on December 15 and June 15 of each year. No principal payments prior to the maturity date are required. The Senior Notes are unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by Warnaco Group and substantially all of Warnaco's domestic subsidiaries (all of which are 100% owned, either directly or indirectly, by Warnaco). The amount outstanding under the Senior Notes was $210.0 million as of October 1, 2005, January 1, 2005 and October 2, 2004, respectively.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

On September 18, 2003, the Company entered into an Interest Rate Swap Agreement (the "2003 Swap Agreement") with respect to the Senior Notes for a total notional amount of $50 million. The 2003 Swap Agreement provides that the Company will receive interest at 8 7/8% and pay a variable rate of interest based upon six month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 4.11% (7.73% at October 1, 2005 and 6.80% at January 1, 2005). The 2003 Swap Agreement expires on June 15, 2013 (the date on which the Senior Notes mature).

On November 5, 2004, the Company entered into a second Interest Rate Swap Agreement (the "2004 Swap Agreement") with respect to the Company's Senior Notes for a total notional amount of $25 million. The 2004 Swap Agreement provides that the Company will receive interest at 8 7/8% and pay a variable rate of interest based upon six months LIBOR plus 4.34% (7.96% at October 1, 2005 and 7.03% at January 1, 2005). The 2004 Swap Agreement expires on June 15, 2013 (the date on which the Senior Notes mature).

As a result of the 2003 and 2004 Swap Agreements, the weighted average effective interest rate of the Senior Notes was reduced to 8.49% as of October 1, 2005.

The fair value of the Company's outstanding interest rate swap agreements reflect the termination premium (unrealized loss) or termination discount (unrealized gain) that the Company would realize if such swaps were terminated on the valuation date. Since the provisions of the 2003 Swap Agreement and the 2004 Swap Agreement match the provisions of the Company's outstanding Senior Notes (the "hedged debt"), changes in the fair value of the outstanding swaps do not have any effect on the Company's results of operations but are recorded in the Company's consolidated condensed balance sheets. Unrealized gains on the outstanding interest rate swap agreements are included in other assets with a corresponding increase in the hedged debt. Unrealized losses on the outstanding interest rate swap agreements are included as a component of long-term debt with a corresponding decrease in the hedged debt. The table below summarizes the fair value (unrealized gains (losses)) of the Company's outstanding swap agreements:


	October 1, 2005			January 1, 2005			October 2, 2004
	(in thousands of dollars)
Unrealized gain (loss)
2003 Swap Agreement	$	(676	)	$	81		$	497
2004 Swap Agreement		(668	)		(310	)		—
Net Unrealized gain (loss)	$	(1,344	)	$	(229	)	$	497

Revolving Credit Facility

On February 4, 2003, the date the Company emerged from bankruptcy, the Company entered into the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility provides for a non-amortizing revolving credit facility that matures on February 3, 2009. The Revolving Credit Facility includes provisions that allow the Company to increase the maximum available borrowings from $175.0 million to $325.0 million. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at Citibank N.A.'s base rate plus 0.5% (7.25% at October 1, 2005) or at LIBOR plus 1.5% (approximately 5.57% at October 1, 2005). The rates of interest payable on outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility vary pursuant to a variable fee structure based upon certain defined ratios. The Company enters into contracts to elect the LIBOR option when it expects borrowings to be outstanding for more than 30 days. The remaining balances bear interest based upon Citibank N.A.'s base rate.

The Company had paid down all outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as of January 3, 2004 and did not borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility during the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005 or the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004.

LIBOR borrowings (such that borrowings bear interest at Citibank N.A.'s base rate plus 0.5% or LIBOR plus 1.5%, although the Revolving Credit Facility provides that the interest rate the Company will pay on outstanding loans may change based on certain defined ratios); (iii) revise financial covenants relating to minimum fixed charge coverage ratios, maximum leverage ratios and limits on capital expenditures so that such covenants are tested only when available credit (as defined in the amendment) falls below $50.0 million; (iv) replace the previously fixed unused commitment fee with a commitment fee structure that varies based upon the Company's leverage ratio; (v) eliminate dollar limitations on certain acquisitions of entities and assets and repurchases of the Company's common stock so long as available credit is at least $50.0 million after giving effect to such acquisition or repurchase and provided certain other terms and conditions are met; (vi) permit payment of cash dividends on the Company's common stock in amounts up to 25% of the Company's net income for the most recent completed fiscal year; (vii) allow for additional indebtedness of up to $30.0 million, provided such indebtedness is incurred solely to finance the construction of a new distribution facility; and (viii) reduce the pricing of certain letters of credit that are cash collateralized. The Company's ability to take certain of the foregoing actions under the Revolving Credit Facility, as amended, is limited by certain provisions of the indenture governing the Senior Notes.

The Revolving Credit Facility, as amended, and the terms of the indenture governing the Senior Notes contain certain restrictions and require the Company to meet certain financial and other covenants. The Company was in compliance with the covenants of both the Revolving Credit Facility and Senior Notes as of October 1, 2005, January 1, 2005 and October 2, 2004.

Liquidity

As of October 1, 2005, the Company had approximately $118.9 million of cash and cash equivalents available as collateral against outstanding letters of credit of $51.2 million and approximately $33.1 million of other cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries. As of October 1, 2005, the Company has $242.7 million of credit available under its Revolving Credit Facility which included available borrowings of $175.0 million and cash and cash equivalents, net of outstanding letters of credit, of $67.7 million. At October 1, 2005, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

At October 1, 2005, January 1, 2005 and October 2, 2004, the Company had working capital of $491.1 million, $434.2 million and $415.9 million, including $152.0 million, $65.6 million and $75.9 million of cash and cash equivalents, respectively.

The Company's total debt as of October 1, 2005, January 1, 2005 and October 2, 2004 was $210.5 million, $210.8 million and $211.4 million, respectively, consisting primarily of the Senior Notes.

The Company believes that cash available under the Revolving Credit Facility and cash to be generated from future operating activities will be sufficient to fund its operations, including capital expenditures, for the next three years. If the Company requires additional sources of capital, it will consider reducing capital expenditures, seeking additional financing or selling assets to meet such requirements.

Share Repurchase Program

In July 2005, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the Company to enter into a share repurchase program of up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock. In order to comply with the terms of applicable debt instruments (which contain certain limitations on share repurchases), the Company expects that purchases under the share repurchase program will be made over the course of the next three years. During the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2005, the Company repurchased 9,151 shares of its common stock in the open market at a total cost of $0.2 million (an average cost of $24.25 per share) under the share repurchase program. The share repurchase program may be modified or terminated by the Company's Board of Directors at any time. See Part II – Item 2 – Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes the cash flows from the Company's operating, investing and financing activities for Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005 and the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004:


	For the Nine Months Ended
	October 1, 2005			October 2, 2004
				(AsRestated)(a)
	(in thousands of dollars)
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities:
Continuing operations	$	113,740		$	60,404
Discontinued operations		1,069			(4,036	)
Net cash used in investing activities		(25,951	)		(33,319	)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities		(374	)		450
Translation adjustments		(2,061	)		(999	)
Increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	86,423		$	22,500


(a)	The amounts include the effects of the restatement described in Note 18 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. The effect of the restatement was to reflect $5.3 million received from a landlord as a component of net cash provided by (used in) operating activities rather than as a component of net cash provided by (used in) investing activities.

Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $113.7 million in the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005 compared to $60.4 million in the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004. The $53.3 million increase in cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was due primarily to a $42.8 million improvement in cash required for net working capital (primarily inventory, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities). Net working capital improvements resulted in $26.1 million of net operating cash flows in the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005 compared to $16.7 million of net operating cash outflows in the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004. Net inventory decreased by $23.0 million in the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005 as compared to an increase of $24.7 million in the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004. The improvement in inventory reflects the Company's efforts to improve the timing of inventory receipts to match shipping requirements more closely. Accounts receivable decreased $7.5 million reflecting initial shipments of Chaps into the mid-tier channel of distribution at the end of December 2004 which resulted in an unusually high level of accounts receivable for the Chaps business unit at the end of fiscal 2004.

Cash used in investing activities was $26.0 million in the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005 compared to $33.3 million in the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004. This $7.3 million decrease was due primarily to a decrease in cash used for business acquisitions. During the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004, the Company used $40.0 million for the purchase of Ocean Pacific. During the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005, the Company used $0.8 million for business acquisitions. The decrease in cash used was partially offset by the sale of the assets of the A.B.S. by Allen Schwartz^® business unit in January 2004 for $15.2 million (the Company did not sell any business units during the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005). Cash used in investing activities for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005 included the $4.3 million purchase of the Calvin Klein swimwear license (See Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements). In addition, purchases of property, plant and equipment increased $10.3 million for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005 as compared to the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004, due primarily to capitalized costs associated with the implementation of the SAP system.

Cash used in financing activities was $0.4 million in the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005 compared to cash provided by financing activities of $0.5 million in the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004. The $0.9 million increase was due primarily to an increase in payments of deferred financing costs related to the amendments to the Company's Revolving Credit Facility.

Significant Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Contractual obligations and commitments as of October 1, 2005 were not materially different from those disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2005, except as follows:

In May 2005, the Company acquired a Calvin Klein swimwear license (See Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements).

During the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2005, the Company committed to purchase approximately $1.0 million of store fixtures in the first quarter of the 2006 fiscal year.

During the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2005, the Company entered into agreements to guarantee certain purchase orders by one of its finished goods contractors with vendors of raw materials (to a maximum of $3.7 million). As of October 28, 2005, the Company had made payments of $2.4 million (recorded in inventory) related to these guarantees and approximately $1.3 million of the guarantees was still outstanding. The guarantees expire at various times through December 2005. The estimated fair value of the guarantees was not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements as of October 1, 2005.

During the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005, the Company entered into certain (and amended certain other) employment agreements with its executive officers. The agreements provide for the payment of base salary and bonus and the granting of long-term incentive and supplemental awards to the executives. Minimum guaranteed compensation payable to the executives under the agreements is $4.7 million, $5.6 million, $3.9 million and $1.3 million with respect to fiscal 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively.

Please refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2005 for a description of those obligations and commitments outstanding as of January 1, 2005.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company is not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements through unconsolidated limited purpose entities.

Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Disclosure

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as certain other written, electronic and oral disclosures made by the Company from time to time, contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Rule 3b-6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), Rule 175 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and relevant legal decisions. The forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and reflect, when made, the Company's estimates, objectives, projections, forecasts, plans, strategies, beliefs, intentions, opportunities and expectations. Actual results may differ materially from anticipated results or expectations and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements may be identified by, among other things, the use of forward-looking language, such as the words "believe," "anticipate," "expect," "estimate," "intend," "may," "project," "scheduled to," "seek," "should," "will be," "will continue," "will likely result," or the negative of those terms, or other similar words and phrases or by discussions of intentions or strategies.

The following factors, among others, could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by it:


•	The impact of general economic conditions that affect the apparel industry, the highly cyclical nature of the apparel industry and the apparel industry's dependence upon the overall level of consumer spending;


•	The Company's failure to anticipate, identify or promptly react to changing trends, styles or brand preferences, which may reduce demand for the Company's products and/or result in excess inventories and markdowns;


•	Further declines in prices in the apparel industry resulting from, among others, the trend to move manufacturing operations offshore, the elimination of trade quotas for certain products originating in China, the introduction of new manufacturing technologies, growth of the mass retail channel of distribution, increased competition and consolidation in the retail industry;


•	Declining sales resulting from competition in the Company's markets and the ability of the Company to effectively compete with domestic and foreign apparel manufacturers and distributors, some of which are larger, more diversified and have greater financial and other resources than it;

•

Increases in the prices of raw materials used in the manufacture of the Company's products (which consist primarily of cotton and chemical components of synthetic fabrics) resulting from general changes in market prices for raw materials, price volatility caused by weather, supply conditions, government regulations, energy costs, economic climate or other unpredictable factors, coupled with the Company's inability to correspondingly increase the prices it charges its customers;


•	Shortages of sourced goods or the Company's inability to secure and/or sustain favorable sourcing relationships, and interruptions in the Company's manufacturing or distribution or other events resulting in difficulty in procuring or producing the Company's products on a cost-effective basis;


•	The effect on the Company's domestic and foreign operations and sourcing arrangements of federal, state and local laws and regulations, including, without limitation, labor, workplace and environmental laws and regulations;

•

Changing international trade regulation, including the imposition of quotas on imports of textiles and apparel from countries from which the Company procures raw materials, such as yarn, or where the Company's sourcing arrangements or manufacturing facilities are located, or the elimination of quotas on certain products from countries which historically have had lower labor costs, including China and Taiwan, resulting in increased competition from such countries;


•	The Company's ability to protect its registered and common law owned trademarks, as well as certain of its licensed trademarks, or the costs incurred by the Company in bringing claims against, or defending challenges by, third parties with respect to such intellectual property;


•	The Company's dependence on a limited number of customers, the loss of a significant customer or group of customers which, in the aggregate, would be considered significant, or the potential loss of customers resulting from additional consolidation in the retail industry;


•	The Company's ability to maintain favorable relationships with its licensors and licensees, including the risk that the deterioration in these relationships could impair the Company's ability to market its brands and distribute its products;


•	The Company's dependence on the reputation of its brand names, including the possibility that the value of the Company's brands could be diminished by actions taken by licensors or by others who have rights to use the brands for other products and/or in other territories;


•	The Company's exposure to conditions in overseas markets in connection with the Company's foreign operations and the sourcing of many of its products from foreign third-party vendors, including the effects of social, political and economic conditions in or affecting such foreign countries;


•	The Company's foreign currency exposure relating to buying, selling and financing in currencies other than the United States dollar;


•	Unanticipated internal control deficiencies or weaknesses, or the Company's inability to maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures, in each case, which could impair the Company's ability to provide timely and reliable financial information;


•	The sufficiency of cash generated from the Company's future operating activities, together with cash available under the Revolving Credit Facility, to fund operations, including capital expenditures, or, if such sources of capital are not sufficient, the Company's ability to secure additional financing, sell assets or reduce capital expenditures;


•	The limitations on purchases of shares under the Company's share repurchase program contained in the Company's debt instruments, the number of shares that the Company purchases under such program and the prices paid for such shares.

In addition, the Company encourages investors to read the discussion of the Company's critical accounting policies under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies" contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2005, as such discussion may be modified or supplemented by subsequent reports that the Company files with the SEC, including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion of forward-looking statements is not exhaustive but is designed to highlight important factors that may affect actual results. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and, except for the Company's ongoing obligation under the United States federal securities laws, the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Company is exposed to market risk primarily related to changes in hypothetical investment values under certain of the Company's employee benefit plans, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

Market Risk

During 2005, the Company adopted a non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Liabilities accrued for the plan's participants are based on the participants' contributions and the market values of hypothetical investments approved by the Company that are selected by the participants. Increases and decreases in liabilities attributable to changes in the market values of the participants, hypothetical investments are reflected in the Company's statement of operations. As of October 1, 2005, the total liability accrued attributable to participants' accounts was less than $0.1 million. A hypothetical increase of 10% in the value of participants' hypothetical investment accounts (which would increase the accrued liability related to the deferred compensation plan) would not have had a material effect on the Company's balance sheet or statement of operations for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company's market risk from exposure to changes in interest rates is limited because the Company does not have any borrowings outstanding under its Revolving Credit Facility and the interest rate on the Company's Senior Notes is fixed at 8 7/8% per annum. However, as of October 1, 2005, the Company was exposed to interest rate risk on its 2003 and 2004 Swap Agreements with notional amounts totaling $75 million. The variable interest rate portion of the Company's outstanding swap agreements is determined semi-annually on December 15 and June 15 for the ensuing six-month period. A hypothetical adverse change in interest rates of 100 basis points as of January 2, 2005 (i.e., an increase from the Company's actual interest rate of 6.8% for the 2003 Swap Agreement and 7.03% for the 2004 Swap Agreement at January 1, 2005 to 7.8% and 8.03%, respectively) would have resulted in an increase in interest expense related to the 2003 and 2004 Swap Agreements of approximately $0.6 million for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005.

Foreign Exchange Risk

The Company has foreign currency exposures related to buying, selling and financing in currencies other than the functional currency in which it operates. These exposures are primarily concentrated in the Company's Canadian, Mexican and European operations (which accounted for approximately 26% of the Company's total net revenues for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005) to the extent such operations purchase products denominated in United States dollars. Total purchases of products by foreign subsidiaries denominated in United States dollars amounted to approximately $84.0 million for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005. A hypothetical decrease of 10% in the value of these foreign currencies relative to the United States dollar would have increased cost of goods sold (which would decrease operating income) by $8.4 million for the Nine Months Ended October 1, 2005.

As of October 1, 2005, the Company had foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding to purchase, through March 2006, approximately $5.2 million for a total of approximately €4.3 million at a weighted-average exchange rate of 1.216. The foreign currency exchange contracts mature through March 2006 and are designed to fix the number of euros required to satisfy the first one-third of dollar denominated purchases of inventory by certain of the Company's European subsidiaries. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in the foreign currency exchange rate between the euro and the United States dollar (i.e., an increase in the euro/dollar exchange rate from 1.21 to 1.33) would have decreased the unrealized gain on outstanding foreign exchange contracts by approximately $0.5 million at October 1, 2005. The change would not have had any effect on the Company's results of operations because such unrealized gains are recorded in other comprehensive income until the related inventory is sold.

The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculation or for trading purposes.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on management's evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act), during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

The information required by this Item 1 of Part II is incorporated herein by reference to Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 16 Legal Matters.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

The Company's repurchases of its outstanding common stock for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2005 were as follows:


Period	Total Number of Shares Purchased		Average Price Paid per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plan		Maximum Number of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Announced Plans

July 31, 2005 – September 3, 2005		—		—		—		3,000,000
September 4, 2005 – October 1, 2005		9,151	$	24.25		9,151		2,990,849

In July 2005, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the Company to enter into a share repurchase program of up to three million shares of common stock. The share repurchase program does not have an expiration date. In order to comply with the terms of applicable debt instruments (which contain certain limitations on share repurchases), the Company expects that purchases under the share repurchase program will be made over the course of the next three years. All shares repurchased during the period covered by this report were purchased in the open market under a publicly announced plan. The share repurchase program may be modified or terminated by the Company's Board of Directors at any time.

I, Joseph R. Gromek, certify that:

1. I have reviewed this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of The Warnaco Group, Inc.;

2. Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;

3. Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;
