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. Warnaco Group, Warnaco and certain of Warnaco’s subsidiaries were reorganized under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. Sections 101-1330, as amended, effective February 4, 2003.

Basis of Consolidation and Presentation:    The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (‘‘GAAP’’) have been condensed or omitted from this report, as is permitted by such rules and regulations; however, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company ’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the annual period ended December 30, 2006 (‘‘Fiscal 2006’’).

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In addition, results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for any other interim period or the full year.

All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Periods Covered:    The period from July 1, 2007 to September 29, 2007 (the ‘‘Three Months Ended September 29, 2007’’), and the period from July 2, 2006 to September 30, 2006 (the ‘‘Three Months Ended September 30, 2006’’) each contained thirteen weeks of operations. The period from December 31, 2006 to September 29, 2007 (the ‘‘Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007’’) and the period from January 1, 2006 to September 30, 2006 (the ‘‘Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006’’) each contained twenty-six weeks of operations.

Reclassifications:    Prior period items on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations have been reclassified to give effect to the Company’s discontinued operations.

Stock-Based Compensation:    No stock options were granted during the Three Months Ended September 29, 2007. The fair values of stock options granted during the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 and the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006, respectively, were estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model with the following assumptions:

(a) The terms of the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the terms of the indenture governing its Senior Notes (each as defined below) 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.

Financial Instruments:    The Company enters into foreign currency exchange contracts which 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 9. In addition, during the Three Months Ended September 29, 2007, the Company entered into foreign currency exchange contracts which are designed to fix the number of euros required to satisfy certain dollar denominated royalty expenses incurred by certain of the Company’s European subsidiaries. Changes in the fair values of foreign currency exchange contracts that are designated as 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. Changes in the fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts that are not designated as cash flow hedges are recorded immediately in selling, general and administrative expenses. Commissions and fees related to foreign currency exchange contracts are expensed as incurred.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:    In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (‘‘FASB’’) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (‘‘SFAS’’) No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments – an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140 (‘‘SFAS 155’’). SFAS 155 amends SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. SFAS 155 permits an entity to measure at fair value certain financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. SFAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The adoption of SFAS 155 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets – an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 (‘‘SFAS 156’’). SFAS 156 requires recognition of a servicing asset or liability at fair value each time an obligation is undertaken to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract. SFAS 156 also provides guidance on subsequent measurement methods for each class of servicing assets and liabilities and specifies financial statement presentation and disclosure requirements. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. The adoption of SFAS 156 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of SFAS No. 109 (‘‘FIN 48’’). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in an enterprise’s tax return. In addition, FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest, penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure related to uncertain income tax pos itions. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. See Note 6.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (‘‘SFAS 157’’). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands the definition of fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. Accordingly, SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurement. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will be required to adopt SFAS 157 in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (‘‘SFAS 159’’). SFAS 159 provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. SFAS 159’s objective is to reduce both complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. Generally accepted accounting principles have required different measurement attributes for different assets and liabilities that can create artificial volatility in earnings. SFAS 159 helps to mitigate this type of accounting-induced volatility by enabling companies to report related assets and liabilities at fair value, which would likely reduce the need for co mpanies to comply with detailed rules for hedge accounting. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 requires companies to provide additional information that will help investors and other users of financial statements to more easily understand the effect of a company’s choice to use fair value on its earnings. It also requires entities to display the fair value of those assets and liabilities for which a company has chosen to use fair value on the face of its balance sheet. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of SFAS 159 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (‘‘FSP’’) FIN 48-1, Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48 (‘‘FSP FIN 48-1’’). FSP FIN 48-1 provides guidance on how to determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. FSP FIN 48-1 is effective retroactively to January 1, 2007. The adoption of FSP FIN 48-1 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements.

Note 2 — Acquisitions

Note 3 — Discontinued Operations

As disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2006, the Company discontinued certain operations in prior periods. These businesses included the OP sportswear, men’s swimwear and licensing businesses (sold in the fourth quarter of 2006), the Company’s J. Lo by Jennifer Lopez® and Lejaby Rose businesses (shutdown in the fourth quarter of 2006) and three of the Company’s Speedo outlet retail stores in the United States (shut down in the fourth quarter of 2006).

On September 18, 2007 the Company announced its intention to exit the Swimwear Group’s private label and designer swimwear businesses (except Calvin Klein swimwear). As part of the September 18, 2007 announcement, the Company also disclosed that it would be exploring strategic alternatives for its Lejaby business and, as of September 29, 2007, it was actively engaged in the marketing of this business for sale. As a result, the OP women’s and junior’s, Anne Cole, Catalina, Cole of California and Lejaby business units have been classified as discontinued operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 and September 30, 2006.

The Company expects to incur additional restructuring expenses of approximately $15,700 in the fourth quarter of 2007 of which approximately $13,700 relates to the sale of the Mexican manufacturing facilities and approximately $2,000 relates to further rationalization of its brands and workforce in the Swimwear Group. As relates the sale of the Mexican manufacturing facilities, on October 1, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with a local business partner (the ‘‘Buyer’’) whereby the Company transferred the facilities to the Buyer.

Note 6 — Income Taxes

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

The provision for income taxes was $10,966, or an effective tax rate of 49.1% for the Three Months Ended September 29, 2007, compared to $7,288, or an effective tax rate of 22% for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2006. The effective tax rate for the Three Months Ended September 29, 2007 reflects the Company’s inability to recognize certain tax benefits related to domestic restructuring

expenses at this time. The 22% tax rate for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 included a domestic benefit from the filing of the Company’s 2005 tax return and the favorable retroactive effect of the Netherlands tax ruling.

The provision for income taxes was $30,898, or an effective tax rate of 33.7% for the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007, compared to $15,646, or an effective tax rate of 28.2% for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006. The effective tax rate for the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 reflects the Company’s inability to recognize certain tax benefits related to domestic restructuring expenses at this time.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. The Company provides a valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. Valuation allowances are determined on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. The Company records a full valuation allowance against its net domestic deferred tax assets exclusive of indefinite lived intangible assets. The valuation allowance as of September 29, 2007 was approximately $140,000 of which up to approximately $2,500 will provide an income statement benefit upon the realization of the deferred tax assets to which the valuation allowance applies and the remainder will be applied to reduce other intangible assets.

In foreign jurisdictions, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets of approximately $11,000 of which approximately $6,000 will be recorded as an income statement benefit upon the realization of the deferred tax assets to which the valuation allowance applies and the remainder will be applied to reduce other intangible assets.

The Company is required to file tax returns in multiple domestic and foreign jurisdictions and these tax returns are subject to audit by taxing authorities. Taxing authorities may challenge the Company’s interpretation of tax law and additional tax may be assessed. The Company and its subsidiaries generally file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 1999. The IRS has not commenced examinations of the Company’s U.S. income tax returns for the 1999 through 2006 tax years. The Company has been examined in various state and local and foreign jurisdictions in the last several years and has a variety of open tax years remaining in those jurisdictions. Management does not believe the outcome of any examinations will be material to the Compa ny’s financial statements.

The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 as of December 31, 2006 (the beginning of fiscal 2007). In accordance with FIN 48, the Company recognized, as of December 31, 2006, the cumulative-effect adjustment of decreasing unrecognized tax benefits by $500 and reducing retained earnings and intangible assets by approximately $1,000 and $1,500 respectively. Additionally, the Company’s deferred tax assets and related valuation allowance was reduced by approximately $41,000. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $65,000, of which $7,000 will reduce the effective income tax rate when recognized.

Also upon the adoption of FIN 48, the Company reclassified approximately $17,000 from current tax liabilities to non-current tax liabilities. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will be reduced by between $2,000 and $4,000 by the end of 2007 due to the expiration of statutes of limitations and the resolution of tax examinations.

The Company recognizes penalties and interest related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense and had accrued interest and penalties as of September 29, 2007 and December 31, 2006 of approximately $900 and $500, respectively.

For the Three Months Ended September 29, 2007 the Company reduced uncertain tax positions by approximately $500 resulting from the settlement of an audit in one of the Company’s foreign jurisdictions. This uncertain tax position was initially recorded as an increase to other intangible assets. For the Three Months Ended September 29, 2007 the Company increased uncertain tax positions by $400, also in a foreign jurisdiction, and this amount has been recorded to income tax expense.

Note 7 — Employee Benefit and Retirement Plans

Defined Benefit Pension Plans

The Company has a defined pension benefit plan which covers substantially all full-time domestic employees, a defined benefit plan for certain of its Lejaby employees and a defined benefit plan for certain of its United Kingdom employees (‘‘Pension Plans’’). The Company follows SFAS No. 87, Employers’ Accounting for Pensions (‘‘SFAS 87’’) and SFAS No. 158, Employer’s Accounting for Pensions, in regard to accounting for its Pension Plans. Pursuant to SFAS 87, each quar ter 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 actuaries 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 actuaries (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 components of net periodic benefit cost are as follows:

Total accumulated other comprehensive income $ 58,652 $ 31,453 $ 13,794
(a) The foreign currency translation adjustments reflect the change in the U.S. dollar relative to functional currencies where the Company conducts certain of its operations.

The Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2006 included the effect of adopting SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Post Retirement Plans (‘‘SFAS 158’’) as a component of Other Comprehensive Income for Fiscal 2006. The effect of adopting SFAS 158 should have been classified as a separate component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, not as a component of Other Comprehensive Income within the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity for Fiscal 2006. The cumulative effect of adopting SFAS 158 was $2,350. Other Comprehensive Income for Fiscal 2006 should have been reported as $79,885, not $77,535 as originally reported. The Company will correct its presentation of Other Comprehensive Income for Fiscal 20 06 in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 29, 2007. The correction of Other Comprehensive Income for Fiscal 2006 has no effect on Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, Stockholders’ Equity, Total Assets or Net Income for any period previously reported.

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 Company’s 2003 Swap Agreement and 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 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 summ arizes the unrealized loss of the Company’s outstanding swap agreements:

The Company is not aware of any non-compliance with the covenants under the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as of September 29, 2007, December 30, 2006 and September 30, 2006.

Note 15 — Legal Matters

SEC Inquiry:    As disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2006, the Company announced, on August 8, 2006, that it would restate its previously reported financial statements for the fourth quarter of 2005, fiscal 2005 and the first quarter of 2006. The restatements were required as a result of certain irregularities discovered by the Company during the Company’s 2006 second quarter closing review and certain other errors. The irregularities primarily related to the accounting for certain returns and customer allowances at the Company’s Chaps menswear division. These matters were reported to the Company’s Audit Committee, which engaged outside counsel, who in turn retained independent forensic accountants, to investigate and report to the Audit Committee. Based on information obtained in that investigation, and also to correct for an error which resulted from the implementation of the Company’s new systems infrastructure at its Swimwear Group during the first quarter of 2006, and certain immaterial errors, the Audit Committee accepted management’s recommendation that the Company restate its financial statements.

In connection with the restatements, the Company contacted the SEC staff to inform them of the restatements and the Company’s related investigation. The SEC staff has initiated an informal inquiry with respect to such matters. The Company is cooperating fully with the SEC in its informal inquiry.

Other:    From time to time, the Company is involved in arbitrations or legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. The Company cannot predict the timing or outcome of these claims and proceedings. Currently, the Company is not involved in any such arbitration and/or legal proceeding that it expects to have a material effect on its financial condition, results of operations or business.

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 and that could affect the market value of the Company’s 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 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 December 30, 2006 (‘‘Fiscal 2006’’).

The period July 1, 2007 to September 29, 2007 (the ‘‘Three Months Ended September 29, 2007’’) and the period July 2, 2006 to September 30, 2006 (the ‘‘Three Months Ended September 30, 2006’’) both contained thirteen weeks of operations. The period December 31, 2006 to September 29, 2007 (the ‘‘Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007’’) and the period January 1, 2006 to September 30, 2006 (the ‘‘Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006’’) both contained thirty-nine weeks of operations. References to ‘‘Core Intimates’’ refer to the Intimate Apparel Group’s Warner’s®, Olga® and Body Nancy Ganz/Bodyslimmers® brand names and intimate apparel private labels. References to ‘‘Designer’’ refer to the Swimwear Group’s fashion brands, including Lifeguard®, Nautica®, Calvin Klein®and Michael Kors®.

Overview

The Company designs, sources, manufactures, markets, licenses and distributes sportswear, intimate apparel, and swimwear worldwide through a broad line of highly recognized brand names. The Company’s products are distributed domestically and internationally, primarily to wholesale customers through various distribution channels, including major department stores, independent retailers, chain stores, membership clubs, specialty and other stores, mass merchandisers and the Internet, including such leading retailers as Macy’s and other units of Federated Department Stores, J.C. Penney, Kohl’s, Sears, Target, Costco and Wal-Mart Stores. As of September 29, 2007, the Company operated: (i) 704 Calvin Klein retail stores worldwide (consisting of 113 free-standing stores (including one on-line sto re) and 591 shop-in-shop/concession stores); (ii) 79 Lejaby® (considered held for sale as of September 29, 2007 and included in discontinued operations) retail stores (consisting of one free-standing store and 78 shop-in-shop stores); and (iii) one Speedo® on-line store. As of September 29, 2007, there were also 365 Calvin Klein retail stores operated by third parties under retail licenses or franchise and distributor agreements.

On September 18, 2007 the Company announced its intention to exit the Swimwear Group’s private label and designer swimwear businesses (except Calvin Klein swimwear). As part of the September 18, 2007 announcement, the Company also disclosed that it would be exploring strategic alternatives for its Lejaby business and, as of September 29, 2007, it was actively engaged in the marketing of this business for sale. As a result, the OP women’s and junior’s, Anne Cole, Catalina, Cole of California and Lejaby business units have been classified as discontinued operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 and September 30, 2006. The Company’s Nautica, Lifeguard, Michael Kors and private label swimwear businesses will be classified as discontinued operations when those businesses have ceased operations, which operations are expected to cease in the first half of 2008. In addition, on October 1, 2007, pursuant to its previously disclosed strategy to undertake supply chain initiatives in order to increase efficiencies, the Company transferred the ownership of its Mexican manufacturing facilities to a local business partner. In connection with these and other restructuring activities, the Company has classified all the financial data in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (‘‘MD&A’’), including all restructuring charges, in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in the United States (‘‘U.S.’’). Restructuring charges are included in the operating results of the related business segments and are summarized in Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and are noted in this MD&A, where applicable.

(a) Includes $357.8 million, $290.2 million, $920.0 million and $719.7 million related to the Company’s total Calvin Klein businesses for the Three Months Ended September 29, 2007, the Three Months Ended September 30, 2006, the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 and the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006, respectively.

Three Months Ended September 29, 2007 compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2006

Net revenues increased $55.1 million, or 13.1%, to $474.8 million for the Three Months Ended September 29, 2007 compared to $419.6 million for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2006. This increase reflects a $32.3 million increase in the Sportswear Group (due primarily to expansion of Calvin Klein Jeans in Europe) and a $27.8 million increase in the Intimate Apparel Group (due primarily to expansion of Calvin Klein Underwear in Europe). Offsetting these increases was a decline in the Swimwear Group’s net revenues of $5.0 million. In translating foreign currencies into the U.S. dollar, the weakness of the U.S. 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 $14.1 million increase in net revenues for the Three Months Ended September 29, 2007 compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2006.

Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006

This increase reflects a $125.1 million increase in the Sportswear Group (due primarily to expansion of Calvin Klein Jeans in Europe) and a $58.4 million increase in the Intimate Apparel Group (due primarily to expansion of Calvin Klein Underwear in Europe). Offsetting these increases was a decline in the Swimwear Group’s net revenues of $5.8 million. In translating foreign currencies into the U.S. dollar, the weakness of the U.S. dol lar 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 $32.6 million increase in net revenues for the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006.

The $65.6 million increase in CKJEA wholesale business net revenues primarily reflects an additional month of operations, the Company’s expansion initiatives in Europe and Asia and the positive effect of foreign currency translation.

The increase in Europe was due mainly to strong performance in both men’s and women’s (driven primarily by the launch of the new Steel line in August 2007) and the positive effect of foreign currency translation.

The $8.7 million increase in Calvin Klein Underwear retail net revenues reflects a $6.3 million increase in Europe, a $1.3 million increase in Asia, a $0.7 million increase in the U.S. and a $0.4 million increase in Canada.

The $13.2 million decrease in net revenues for Speedo wholesale reflects a $14.9 million decrease in the U.S., partially offset by a $1.1 million increase in Mexico and a $0.6 million increase in Canada. The decrease in the U.S. reflects a $15.0 million decrease in sales to membership clubs (primarily due to the initial launch of shoes and accessories lines into this channel during the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006), a $6.4 million decrease in sales to chain stores (primarily due to lower than expected sell-through of the Company’s branded swimwear products at retail), a $0.4 million decrease in sales to mass merchandisers and a $0.3 million decrease in sales to department stores, partially offset by a $5.9 million increase in the off-price channel o f distribution and a $1.3 million increase in sales to specialty stores.

The $4.5 million increase in Designer wholesale net revenues reflects a $6.7 million increase in Europe and a $0.3 million increase in Mexico, partially offset by a $2.3 million decrease in the U.S. and a $0.2 million decrease in Canada. The increase in Europe reflects the positive reception of current year collections in this market and the positive effect of foreign currency translation. As previously disclosed, the Company intends to exit its Designer swim brands (except for Calvin Klein swimwear) by the end of the second quarter in fiscal 2008.

The $2.8 million increase in Swimwear retail net revenues reflects an increase in sales attributable to the Company’s Speedo Internet retail website, SpeedoUSA.com.

Three Months Ended September 29, 2007 compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2006

Gross profit was $192.0 million, or 40.4% of net revenues, for the Three Months Ended September 29, 2007 compared to $169.5 million, or 40.4% of net revenues, for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2006. The $22.5 million increase in gross profit was due to increases in the Sportswear Group and the Intimate Apparel Group, partially offset by a decrease in the Swimwear Group. Included in gross profit for the Three Months Ended September 29, 2007 is $9.3 million of restructuring expenses included in cost of goods sold (see Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements). In translating foreign currencies into the U.S. dollar, the weakness of the U.S. dollar relative to the functional currencies where the Company conducts certain of its operations (prim arily the euro in Europe and Canadian dollar in Canada) resulted in a $7.5 million increase in gross profit for the Three Months Ended September 29, 2007 compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2006.

Sportswear Group gross profit increased $19.5 million and gross margin increased 250 basis points for the Three Months Ended September 29, 2007 compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2006. The increase in gross profit reflects an $11.8 million increase in Calvin Klein Jeans wholesale (including a $9.3 million increase in the CKJEA Business) and a $7.9 million increase in Sportswear retail, partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in Chaps. The increase in gross margin was due primarily to a decrease in customer allowances related to the Chaps business.

Intimate Apparel Group gross profit increased $18.6 million and gross margin increased 380 basis points for the Three Months Ended September 29, 2007 compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2006. The increase in gross profit reflects an $11.1 million increase in Calvin Klein Underwear wholesale (due primarily to the increase in net revenues, discussed above), a $6.4 million increase in Calvin Klein Underwear retail (due to the increase in net revenues, discussed above) and a $1.1 million increase in Core Intimates (due to a favorable change in sales mix despite a decrease in net revenues, as discussed above). The increase i n gross margin reflects a 330 basis point increase in Core Intimates (due to more favorable inventory markdowns and customer allowances), a 300 basis point increase in Calvin Klein Underwear retail (due primarily to savings experienced as a result of the Company’s sourcing initiatives) and a 250 basis point increase in Calvin Klein Underwear wholesale (due primarily to lower customer allowances and a more favorable product mix).

Swimwear Group gross profit decreased $15.6 million and gross margin decreased from a gain of 32.1% for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 to a loss of 7.9% for the Three Months Ended September 29, 2007.

Gross profit was $565.1 million, or 40.8% of net revenues, for the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 compared to $463.5 million, or 38.4% of net revenues, for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006. The $101.6 million increase in gross profit and the 240 basis point increase in gross margin were due to increases in the Sportswear Group and the Intimate Apparel Group, partially offset by a decrease in the Swimwear Group. Included in gross profit for the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 is $12.3 million of restructuring expenses included in cost of goods sold (see Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements). In translating foreign currencies into the U.S. dollar, the weakness of the U.S. 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 $17.4 million increase in gross profit for the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006.

Sportswear Group gross profit increased $79.6 million and gross margin increased 470 basis points for the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006.

The majority of the increase in gross margin was due to increases in the wholesale Calvin Klein Jeans and Chaps businesses.

in sales mix reflecting increased off-price and private label sales, as discussed above). The increase in gross margin reflects a 330 basis point increase in Calvin Klein Underwear wholesale (due primarily to lower customer allowances in the U.S. combined with a more favorable sales mix in Europe), a 300 basis point increase in Calvin Klein Underwear retail (due primarily to savings experienced as a result of the Company’s sourcing initiatives) and a 40 basis point increase in Core Intimates (due to more favorable inventory markdowns and customer allowances).

Swimwear Group gross profit decreased $18.1 million and gross margin decreased from 34.3% for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 compared to 27.7% for the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007.

In translating foreign currencies into the U.S. dollar, the weakness of the U.S. dollar relative to the functional currencies where the Company conducts certain of its operations (primarily the euro in Europe and Canadian dollar in Canada) had a $4.6 million unfavorable effect which increased SG&A expenses for the Three Months Ended September 29, 2007 compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2006.

Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006

In translating foreign currencies into the U.S. dollar, the weakness of the U.S. dollar relative to the functional currencies where the Company conducts certain of its operations (primarily the euro in Europe and Canadian dollar in Canada) had an $11.9 million unfavorable effect which increased SG&A expenses for the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006.

Three Months Ended September 29, 2007 compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2006

Operating income was $30.7 million (6.5% of net revenues) for the Three Months Ended September 29, 2007 compared to $37.3 million (8.9% of net revenues) for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2006.

Partially offsetting these in creases was a $25.4 million decrease in operating income of the Swimwear Group (including approximately $20.1 million of restructuring expenses during the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007) and a $10.2 million increase in unallocated corporate expenses (due primarily to an increase in incentive-based employee compensation expense). In translating foreign currencies into the U.S. dollar, the weakness of the U.S. 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 $5.5 million increase in operating income for the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006.

The i ncrease in Chaps reflects a $0.2 million decrease in gross profit (discussed above), more than offset by a $1.4 million decrease in SG&A expenses (due primarily to a reduction in selling and distribution expenses associated with the decrease in sales volume).

Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006

Sportswear Group operating income increased $40.7 million, or 97.0%.

The increase in Calvin Klein Jeans wholesale without the CKJEA Business reflects a $14.9 million increase in gross profit (discussed above) combined with a $0.7 million decrease in SG&A expenses (due primarily to a decrease in selling expenses attributable to reduced headcount associated with certain discontinued lines, combined with a reduction in warehousing and distribution expenses associated with an increase in the ratio of ‘‘drop shipments’’ (product shipped directly from a supplier to a customer) to total shipments). The increase in Chaps reflects a $6.6 million increase in gross profit (discussed above), combined with a $3.8 million decrease in SG&A expenses (due primarily to a reduction in selling and distribu tion expenses associated with the decrease in sales volume described in net revenues above).

The increase in Calvin Klein Underwear wholesale reflects an $11.1 million increase in gross profit (discussed above), partially offset by a $5.0 million increase in SG&A expenses (due mainly to an increase in marketing expenses associated with the launch of the new Steel line). The increase in Calvin Klein Underwear retail reflects a $6.4 million increase in gross profit (discussed above), partially offset by a $4.4 million increase in SG&A expenses (due primarily to increased selling expenditures related to increased sales and the negative effect of foreign currency translation).

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006

The increase in Calvin Klein Underwear wholesale reflects a $24.4 million increase in gross profit (discussed above), partially offset by a $4.8 million increase in SG&A expenses. The increase in SG&A expenses for < font style="opacity:100; position:relative; font-weight: normal; font-style: italic;">Calvin Klein Underwear wholesale was due primarily to an increase in marketing expenditures (due primarily to the launch of the new Steel line) combined with an increase in administrative expenses (mainly in foreign operations due to the negative effect of foreign currency translation). The increase in Calvin Klein retail reflects a $16.0 million increase in gross profit (discussed above), partially offset by a $9.7 million increase in SG&A expenses (due primarily to increased selling expenditures related to increased sales and the negative effect of foreign currency translation). The increase in Core Intimates reflects a $0.4 million decrease in gross profit (discussed above), more than offset by a $1.3 million decrease in SG&A expenses. The decrease in Core Intimates SG&A expenses was due primarily to decreased marketing expenses related to a reduced number of product launches in the current year. The Company notes increased marketing expenses are expected in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to the fourth quarter of 2006 in connection with a planned national print advertising campaign.

Three Months Ended September 29, 2007 compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2006

Swimwear Group operating income decreased $21.1 million, or 245.6%, reflecting an $18.3 million decrease in Speedo wholesale and a $3.0 million decrease in Designer wholesale, partially offset by a $0.2 million increase in Swimwear retail. Operating income for the Three Months Ended September 29, 2007 includes restructuring expenses of $16.6 million related to management initiatives undertaken to improve the profitability of the Swimwear Group. See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. The decrease in Speedo operating income reflects a $12.6 million decrease in gross profit (discussed above), combined with a $5.7 million increase in SG&A expenses (including $6.9 million of restructuring costs). The decrease in operating income in Designer reflects a $3.4 million decrease in gross profit (discussed above) and a $0.1 million increase in SG&A expenses (including $0.5 million of restructuring costs), partially offset by a $0.5 million decrease in amortization expense related to intangible assets. The increase in Swimwear retail reflects a $0.4 million increase in gross profit (discussed above), partially offset by a $0.2 million increase in SG&A expenses.

Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006

Swimwear Group operating income decreased $25.4 million, or 256.1%, reflecting a $23.4 million decrease in Speedo wholesale and a $3.1 million decrease in Designer wholesale, partially offset by a $1.2 million increase in Swimwear retail. Operating income for the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 includes restructuring expenses of $20.1 million related to management initiatives undertaken to improve the profitability of the Swimwear Group.

(including $6.9 million of restructuring costs). The decrease in operating income in Designer reflects a $1.8 million decrease in gross profit (discussed above) and a $1.8 million increase in SG&A expenses (including $0.9 million of restructuring costs), partially offset by a $0.5 million decrease in amortization expense related to intangible assets. The increase in Swimwear retail reflects a $1.8 million increase in gross profit (discussed above), partially offset by a $0.6 million increase in SG&A expenses.

Other (Income) Loss

Other loss of $0.4 million for the Three Months Ended September 29, 2007 primarily reflects net losses on the current portion of intercompany loans denominated in currency other than that of the foreign subsidiaries’ functional currency. Other income of $4.4 million for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 primarily reflects a gain of $4.4 million on the current portion of intercompany loans denominated in a currency other than that of the foreign subsidiaries’ functional currency. Other income of $6.5 million for the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 primarily reflects net gains on the current portion of intercompany loans denominated in currency other than that of the foreign subsidiaries’ functional currency. Other income of $3.1 million for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 primarily reflects a gain of $5.2 million on the current portion of intercompany loa ns denominated in a currency other than that of the foreign subsidiaries’ functional currency, partially offset by a $1.6 million net currency loss related to the purchase of the CKJEA Business (which price was denominated in euros) combined with a $0.5 million loss on the repurchase of debt (described below).

Interest Expense

Three Months Ended September 29, 2007 compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2006

Interest expense decreased $0.3 million to $9.2 million for the Three Months Ended September 29, 2007 from $9.5 million for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2006. The decrease in interest expense was due primarily to lower interest related to the Term B Note (as defined below), partially offset by an increase in interest related to the CKJEA short-term debt (due to an increase in the average interest rate on outstanding debt from 3.62% at September 30, 2006 to 4.81% at September 29, 2007). The Company has paid down approximately $41.4 million against the Term B Note since the end of Fiscal 2006.

Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006

Interest expense was $28.0 million for the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 compared to $28.6 million for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006. The decrease in interest expense was due primarily to lower interest related to the Term B Note (as defined below), partially offset by an increase in interest related to the CKJEA short-term debt (due to an increase in the average interest rate on outstanding debt from 3.62% at September 30, 2006 to 4.81% at September 29, 2007). The Company has paid down approximately $41.4 million against the Term B Note since the end of Fiscal 2006.

Interest Income

Three Months Ended September 29, 2007 compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2006

Interest income increased $0.5 million to $1.3 million for the Three Months Ended September 29, 2007 from $0.8 million for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2006. The increase in interest income was due primarily to an increase in interest earned on outstanding cash balances.

Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006

Interest income increased $0.3 million to $2.3 million for the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 from $2.0 million for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006. The increase in interest income was due primarily to an increase in interest earned on outstanding cash balances.

Income Taxes

Three Months Ended September 29, 2007 compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2006

The provision for income taxes was $11.0 million, or an effective tax rate of 49.1%, for the Three Months Ended September 29, 2007, compared to $7.3 million, or an effective tax rate of 22%, for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2006. The higher effective tax rate for the Three Months Ended September 29, 2007 is primarily driven by the Company’s inability to recognize certain future tax benefits related to domestic restructuring expenses at this time. In contrast, the lower 22% tax rate for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 included a domestic benefit from the filing of the Company’s 2005 tax return and the favorable retroactive effect of the Netherlands tax ruling.

Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006

The provision for income taxes was $30.9 million, or an effective tax rate of 33.7%, for the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007, compared to $15.6 million, or an effective tax rate of 28.2%, for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006. The higher effective tax rate for the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 is primarily driven by the Company’s inability to recognize certain future tax benefits related to domestic restructuring expenses at this time.

Discontinued Operations

Three Months Ended September 29, 2007 compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2006

Loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes, was $6.9 million for the Three Months Ended September 29, 2007 compared to $11.2 million for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2006. See Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Financing Arrangements

Senior Notes

On June 12, 2003, Warnaco Inc., 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 87/8% 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 Inc.’s domestic subsidiaries (all of which are 100% owned, either directly or indirectly, by Warnaco Inc.). On June 2, 2006, the Company purchased $5.0 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding $210.0  ;million Senior Notes for total consideration of $5.2 million in the open market.

The aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Senior Notes was $205.0 million as of September 29, 2007, December 30, 2006 and September 30, 2006.

The indenture pursuant to which the Senior Notes were issued contains covenants which, among other things, restrict the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, pay dividends and make restricted payments, create or permit certain liens, use the proceeds of sales of assets and subsidiaries’ stock, create or permit restrictions on the ability of certain of Warnaco Inc.’s subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to Warnaco Group or to Warnaco Inc., enter into transactions with affiliates,

50





engage in certain business activities, engage in sale and leaseback transactions and consolidate or merge or sell all or substantially all of its assets. The Company is not aware of any non-compliance with the covenants of the Senior Notes as of September 29, 2007, December 30, 2006 and September 30, 2006.

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 87/8% and pay a variable rate of interest based upon six month London Interbank Offered Rate (‘‘LIBOR’’) plus 4.11% (9.52% at September 29, 2007). 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 of 87/8% and pay a variable rate of interest based upon six months LIBOR plus 4.34% (9.75% at September 29, 2007). 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 9.14% as of September 29, 2007, 9.12% as of December 30, 2006 and 9.14% as of September 30, 2006.

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 Company’s 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 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:

Revolving Credit Facility; Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

On February 4, 2003, the date the Company emerged from bankruptcy, the Company entered into a $275 million Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, which was amended on November 12, 2003, August 1, 2004 and September 15, 2005. On January 31, 2006, the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility was amended and restated (the ‘‘Amended and Restated Credit Agreement’’) in connection with the closing of the acquisition of the CKJEA Business to, among other things, add a $180 million term loan facility (the ‘‘Term B Note’’) which was used to finance a portion of the acquisition of the CKJEA Business. Generally, the loans under the Term B Note bear interest at Citibank N.A.’s base rate plus 0.50% or at LIBOR plus 1.50%, in each case, on a per annum basis. As of September 29, 2007, the weighted average interest rate for the loans outstanding under the Term B Note was 6.89%. The Term B Note matures on January 31, 2013. As of September 29, 2007, principal payments due

51





under the Term B Note were: (i) quarterly installments of $0.45 million through March 31, 2012; (ii) $42.3 million on each of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2012; and (iii) $34.6 million on December 31, 2012. Loans under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement may be required to be repaid upon the occurrence of certain events, including certain types of asset sales, insurance recoveries, and issuances of debt. In addition, the Term B Note requires the Company to repay term loan principal in amounts equal to 25% of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement), if any, subject to certain conditions.

In addition to the amendments under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement relating to the Term B Note, on January 31, 2006, the Company also increased the revolving credit facility commitment under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to $225 million. The $225 million revolving credit facility commitment under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement matures on February 3, 2009. The revolving credit facility includes a provision which allows the Company to increase the maximum available borrowings under the revolving credit facility from $225 million to $375 million. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at Citibank N.A.’s base rate plus 0.50% (8.75% at December 30, 2006 and September 30, 2006) or at LIBOR plus 1.50% (6.86% at December 30, 2006 and September 30, 2006), in each case, on a per annum basis. In accordance with the Amended and Restat ed Credit Agreement, effective April 3, 2007, rates for the revolving credit facility were adjusted to the Citibank N.A.’s base rate plus 0.25% (8.00% at September 29, 2007) or at LIBOR plus 1.25% (6.48% at September 29, 2007), in each case, on a per annum basis. The rates of interest payable on outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility may change based on the Company’s financial 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 revolving credit facility contains financial covenants that, among other things, require the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio above a minimum level and a leverage ratio below a maximum level and limit the amount of the Company’s capital expenditures. In addition, the revolving credit facility contains certain covenants that, among othe r things, limit investments and asset sales, prohibit the payment of dividends (subject to limited exceptions) and limit the incurrence of material additional indebtedness. As part of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, certain covenants were modified, including financial covenants and the covenants relating to indebtedness, acquisitions, asset sales and investments. Further, certain terms and conditions under which an Event of Default (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) may be declared were amended.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is guaranteed by the Company and its domestic subsidiaries (other than Warnaco Inc.) and the obligations under such guaranty, together with Warnaco Inc.’s obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, are secured by a lien for the benefit of the lenders on substantially all the assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was amended on November 6, 2006 in connection with the sale of the Company’s OP businesses.

As of September 29, 2007, under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company had $127.8 million outstanding under the Term B Note and no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility. The Company is not aware of any non-compliance with the covenants under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as of September 29, 2007, December 30, 2006 and September 30, 2006.

Foreign Revolving Credit Facility

During fiscal 2005, certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries (the ‘‘Foreign Subsidiaries’’) entered into a $25 million revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. (the ‘‘Foreign Revolving Credit Facility’’). The Foreign Revolving Credit Facility provides for a four year, non-amortizing revolving credit facility. Borrowings under the Foreign Revolving Credit Facility accrue interest at LIBOR or, if applicable, Bank of America, N.A.’s base rate, in each case, plus 2.25% or 2.00% (depending on the level of EBITDA (as defined in the Foreign Revolving Credit Facility) of

52





the Foreign Subsidiaries). The Foreign Revolving Credit Facility is secured by first priority security interests on the assets of the Foreign Subsidiaries and the Foreign Subsidiaries guarantee each others’ obligations under the Foreign Revolving Credit Facility. The Company has never had any borrowings outstanding under the Foreign Revolving Credit Facility.

The Foreign Revolving Credit Facility contains covenants that require the Foreign Subsidiaries to maintain certain financial ratios and limit the amount of the Foreign Subsidiaries’ capital expenditures. In addition, the Foreign Revolving Credit Facility contains certain restrictive covenants which, among other things, limit investments by the Foreign Subsidiaries and prohibit the Foreign Subsidiaries from incurring additional indebtedness. The Company’s ability to borrow under the Foreign Revolving Credit Facility is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Company is not aware of any non-compliance with the covenants of the Foreign Revolving Credit Facility as of September 29, 2007 and September 30, 2006.

CKJEA Notes Payable

The total CKJEA notes payable of $49.8 million at September 29, 2007 consists of short-term revolving notes with a number of banks at various interest rates (primarily Euro LIBOR plus 1.0%). As of September 29, 2007 and September 30, 2006, the weighted average interest rate for the CKJEA notes payable outstanding was approximately 4.81% and 3.62%, respectively. All of the CKJEA notes payable were renewed for an additional one-year term in February 2007.

Liquidity

As of September 29, 2007, the Company had working capital of $578.2 million, cash and cash equivalents of $188.9 million, short-term debt of $51.9 million and no borrowings under either the revolving credit facility under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or the Foreign Revolving Credit Facility. As of September 29, 2007, the Company had $243.6 million of credit available under the revolving credit facility of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement which included available borrowings of $208.1 million (based upon the borrowing base calculations at September 29, 2007) plus $85.5 million of cash collateral, less outstanding letters of credit of $50.0 million.

The Company’s total debt as of September 29, 2007 was $382.9 million, consisting of $205.0 million of the Senior Notes, $127.8 million of the Term B Note under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, $49.8 million of the CKJEA short-term notes payable and $0.3 million of other outstanding debt. The Company repaid $40.0 million of the Term B Note in January 2007 from the proceeds of the sale of the OP businesses (the Company also repaid $10.0 million of the Term B Note in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2006).

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

Accounts receivable decreased $6.9 million to $288.0 million at September 29, 2007 from $295.0 million at December 30, 2006. The balance at December 30, 2006 includes approximately $28.3 million related to operations discontinued during the Three Months Ended September 29, 2007. Excluding these discontinued operations, accounts receivable increased $21.4 million reflecting a $48.2 million increase in the Sportswear Group (due mainly to Calvin Klein Jeans reflecting the growth in sales both domestically and internationally) and a $16.9 million increase in the Intimate Apparel Group (due mainly to Calvin Klein Underwear reflecting the growth in sales both domestically and internationally), partially offset by a $43.7 million decrease in the Swimwear Group (reflecting the seasonality of sales of swimwear products).

Excluding these discontinued operations, inventories increased approximately $31.3 million primarily related to the expansion of the Company’s Calvin Klein Jeans business.

Share Repurchase Program

In July 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the ‘‘2005 Share Repurchase Program’’) for the repurchase of up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock. During the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007, the Company repurchased 911,548 shares of its common stock in the open market at a total cost of $30.5 million (an average cost of $33.5 per share) under its 2005 Share Repurchase Program. During the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006, the Company repurchased 1,200,000 shares of its common stock in the open market at a total cost of $23.1 million (an average cost of $19.28 per share) under its 2005 Share Repurchase Program. As of September 29, 2007, the Company had purchased an aggregate of 2,932,633 shares of common stock in the open market at a total cost of approximately $74.6 million (an average cost of $25.45 per share) under the 2005 Share Repu rchase Program.

In May 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program (the ‘‘2007 Share Repurchase Program’’) for the repurchase of up to an additional 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company expects that, in order to comply with the terms of applicable debt instruments, purchases under the 2007 Share Repurchase Program will be made over a period of four years from the date the program was approved. During the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007, the Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock under the 2007 Share Repurchase Program.

Each of the 2005 and 2007 Share Repurchase Programs may be modified or terminated by the Company’s Board of Directors at any time.

Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $101.6 million for the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 compared to $46.8 million for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006. This $54.8 million increase was due primarily to the $24.3 million increase in net income, a $16.0 million decrease in cash used for net working capital and a $15.5 million increase in depreciation and amortization (which is an adjustment to net income in calculating cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations). The Company experienced net working capital outflows of $16.4 million for the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 compared to net working capital outflows of $32.4 million during the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006. The net working capital outflows for the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 were due to a $22.1 million outflow for accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, a $10.0 million outflow for accounts receivable and a $4.5 million outflow from accrued income taxes, partially offset by a $17.2 million inflow from inventories and a $3.0 million inflow from prepaid expenses. The net working capital outflows for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 were due primarily to a $37.2 million outflow for accounts receivable; a $18.0 million outflow for prepaid expenses and other assets; and a $1.4 million outflow for accrued income taxes, partially offset by a $22.9 million inflow from accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities and a $1.3 million inflow from inventories.

Cash provided by operating activities from discontinued operations was $25.2 million for the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 compared to $27.0 million for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006. This $1.8 million increase was due primarily to a reduction of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of the discontinued operations during the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007.

Cash used in investing activities from continuing operations was $24.5 million for the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 compared to $233.1 million in the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006. This $208.6 million decrease was due primarily to $208.5 million used for business acquisitions during the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 (primarily the CKJEA Business which was acquired on January 31, 2006).

For the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007, cash used in financing activities was $84.3 million compared to cash provided by financing activities of $107.7 million in the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006. The $192.0 million increase in cash used in financing activities was due primarily to $180.0 million of debt issued in connection with the acquisition of the CKJEA Business on January 31, 2006 combined with a $24.7 million net decrease in CKJEA Business short-term notes payable, partially offset by a $8.3 million increase in proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options.

Cash in operating accounts primarily represents lockbox receipts not yet cleared or available to the Company, cash held by foreign subsidiaries and compensating balances required under various trade, credit and other arrangements.

Significant Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Contractual obligations and commitments as of September 29, 2007 were not materially different from those disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2006, with the exception of certain operating leases and other contractual obligations pursuant to agreements entered into during the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 (see Note 17 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements). Please refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2006 for a description of those obligations and commitments outstanding as of December 30, 2006. In addition, as of September 29, 2007, in connection with the implementation of FIN 48, the Company had a liability of approximately $21.0 million related to uncertain tax positions of which ap proximately $3.0 million is expected to be settled and paid in 2007 and approximately $18.0 million is expected to be settled and paid in 2008 and beyond.

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’’ that are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. 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,’’ ‘‘a nticipate,’’ ‘‘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, including those described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2006 (as filed with the SEC on March 7, 2007), under the heading Item 1A. Risk Factors (as such disclosure may be modified or supplemented from time to time), could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by it: the Company’s ability to execute its repositioning and sale initiatives (including achieving enhanced productivity and profitability) announced on September 18, 2007; economic conditions that affect the apparel industry; the Company’s failure to anticipate, identify or promptly react to changing trends, styles, or brand preferences; further declines in prices in the apparel i ndustry; declining sales resulting from increased competition in the Company’s markets; increases in the prices of raw materials; events which result in difficulty in procuring or producing the Company’s products on a cost-effective basis; the effect of laws and regulations, including those relating to labor, workplace and the environment; changing international trade regulation, including as it relates to the imposition or elimination of quotas on imports of textiles and apparel; the Company’s ability to protect its intellectual property or the costs incurred by the Company related thereto; the Company’s dependence on a limited number of customers; the effects of consolidation in the retail sector; the Company’s dependence on license agreements with third parties; the Company’s dependence on the reputation of its brand names, including, in particular, Calvin Klein; the Company’s exposure to conditions in overseas markets in connection with the Company’s foreign operations and the sourcing of products from foreign third-party vendors; the Company’s foreign currency exposure; the Company’s history of insufficient disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls and restated financial statements;

56





unanticipated future internal control deficiencies or weaknesses or ineffective disclosure controls and procedures; the effects of fluctuations in the value of investments of the Company’s pension plan; the sufficiency of cash to fund operations, including capital expenditures; the Company’s ability to service its indebtedness, the effect of changes in interest rates on the Company’s indebtedness that is subject to floating interest rates and the limitations imposed on the Company’s operating and financial flexibility by the agreements governing the Company’s indebtedness; the Company’s dependence on its senior management team and other key personnel; disruptions in the Company’s operations caused by difficulties with the new systems infrastructure; the limitations on purchases under the Company’s share repurchase programs contained in the Company’s debt instruments, the number of shares that the Company purchases under such programs and the prices paid f or such shares; the Company’s inability to achieve its strategic objectives, including gross margin, SG&A and operating profit margin goals, as a result of one or more of the factors described above or otherwise; the failure of acquired businesses to generate expected levels of revenues; the failure of the Company to successfully integrate such businesses with its existing businesses (and, as a result, not achieving all or a substantial portion of the anticipated benefits of such acquisitions); and such acquired businesses being adversely affected, including by one or more of the factors described above, and thereby failing to achieve anticipated revenues and earnings growth.

The Company encourages investors to read the section entitled Item 1A. Risk Factors and the discussion of the Company’s critical accounting policies under ‘‘Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies’’ included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2006, as such discussions 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 ma de, and, except for the Company’s ongoing obligation under the U.S. 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. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculation or for trading purposes.

Market Risk

During fiscal 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. The total liability accrued attributable to participants’ accounts was $1.3 million and $0.7 million as of September 29, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively. 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 have had an unfavorable effect of $0.1 million for the Nine Months Ended Septe mber 29, 2007 and less than $0.1 million for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 on the Company’s income from continuing operations before provision for income taxes.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company has market risk from exposure to changes in interest rates on its 2003 and 2004 Swap Agreements with notional amounts totaling $75.0 million and the $127.8 million of loans outstanding at September 29, 2007 under the Term B Note. The Company is not exposed to interest

57





rate risk on its Senior Notes or revolving credit facility under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement because the interest rate on the Senior Notes is fixed at 87/8% per annum and the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility as of September 29, 2007. With respect to the 2003 and 2004 Swap Agreements, a hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates would have had an annual unfavorable impact of $0.6 million during the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 and $0.5 million during the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 on the Company’s income from continuing operations before provision for income taxes. A hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates for the loans outstanding under the Term B Note would have had an unfavor able effect of $0.7 million for the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 and $0.9 million the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006, on the Company’s income from continuing operations before provision for income taxes.

Foreign Exchange Risk

The Company has foreign currency exposures primarily related to buying in currencies other than the functional currency in which it operates. These exposures are primarily concentrated in the Company’s Canadian, Central and South American and European operations, which collectively accounted for approximately 34.0% of the Company’s total net revenues for the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007. These foreign operations of the Company purchase products from suppliers denominated in U.S. dollars. Total purchases of products made by foreign subsidiaries denominated in U.S. dollars amounted to approximately $114.5 million and $97.0 million for the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively. A hypothetical decrease of 10% in the value of these foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar would have increased cost of goods sold (which would decrease operating income) by $11.5 mi llion and $9.7 million for the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007 and the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006, respectively.

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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such 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 were effective.

(b)    Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no 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 Three Months Ended September 29, 2007 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors.

Please refer to Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2006, filed with the SEC on March 7, 2007, for a description of certain significant risks and uncertainties to which the Company’s business, operations and financial condition are subject. There have been no material changes to these risk factors during the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007.

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

The following table summarizes repurchases of the Company’s common stock during the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007.

In July 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the Company to enter into the 2005 Share Repurchase Program for the repurchase of up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock. The 2005 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 that may be made in a given period), the Company expects that purchases under the 2005 Share Repurchase Program will be made over a period of three years from the date the program was approved. Under the 2005 Share Repurchase Program, the Company has repurchased a total of 2,932,633 shares in the open market, of which 911,548 shares where repurchased during the Three Months Ended September 29, 2007. In May 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new 2007 Share Repurchase Program for the repurchase of up to an additional 3,000,000 shares of common stock. The Company did not repurchase any shares under the 2007 Share Repurchase Program during the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2007. The share repurchase programs may be modified or terminated by the Company’s Board of Directors at any time.

An aggregate of 9,096 shares included below as repurchased during the Three Months Ended September 29, 2007 reflect the surrender of shares in connection with the vesting of certain restricted stock awarded by the Company to its employees. At the election of an employee, shares having an aggregate value on the vesting date equal to the employee’s withholding tax obligation may be surrendered to the Company in satisfaction thereof.
