Salant Corporation ("Salant" or the "Company"), which was incorporated in Delaware in 1987, is the successor to a business founded in 1893 and incorporated in New York in 1919. The Company designs, produces, imports and markets to retailers throughout the United States brand name and private label menswear apparel products. The Company currently sells its products to department and specialty stores, and for a portion of 1999 made limited sales of certain products to national chains, major discounters and mass volume retailers throughout the United States. In December 1998, the Company determined to discontinue and sell its Salant Children's Apparel Group (the "Children's Group"), which manufactured and marketed blanket sleepers, pajamas and underwear. Also at that time, the Company decided to sell or close its non-Perry Ellis menswear businesses in order to focus on the Perry Ellis brand. During 1999, the Company substantially completed the process of closing or selling these businesses. (As used herein, the "Company" includes Salant and its subsidiaries.) Bankruptcy Court Case. On December 29, 1998 (the "Filing Date"), Salant filed a voluntary petition under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code with the Bankruptcy Court (the "1998 Case") in order to implement a restructuring of its 10-1/2 % Senior Secured Notes due December 31, 1998 (the "Senior Notes"). Salant also filed its plan of reorganization (the "Plan") with the Bankruptcy Court on the Filing Date in order to implement its restructuring. On April 16, 1999, the Bankruptcy Court issued an order confirming the Plan (the "Confirmation Order"). The Plan was consummated on May 11, 1999 (the "Effective Date"). In accordance with the Plan, Salant's focus is primarily on its Perry Ellis men's apparel business and, as a result, Salant has exited its other businesses, including its Children's Group and non-Perry Ellis menswear divisions. To that end, Salant has sold its John Henry and Manhattan businesses. These businesses included the John Henry, Manhattan and Lady Manhattan trade names, the John Henry and Manhattan dress shirt inventory, the leasehold interest in a dress shirt facility located in Valle Hermosa, Mexico, and the equipment located at the Valle Hermosa facility and at Salant's facility located in Andalusia, Alabama. Salant has also sold its Children's Group business. This sale was primarily for inventory related to the Children's Group business and the Dr. Denton trademark. Pursuant to the Plan (i) all of the outstanding principal amount of Senior Notes, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, was converted into 95% of Salant's new common stock, subject to dilution, and (ii) all of Salant's existing old common stock was converted into 5% of Salant's new common stock, subject to dilution. Salant's general unsecured creditors (including trade creditors) were unimpaired under the Plan and were entitled to be paid in full. The Plan was approved by all of the holders of Senior Notes that voted and over 96% of the holders of Salant's old common stock that voted. Salant operates its Perry Ellis businesses under certain licensing agreements (the "Perry Ellis Licenses") between Salant and Perry Ellis International, Inc. ("PEI"). During the 1998 Case, Supreme International Corporation ("Supreme") entered into discussions with PEI to acquire PEI and, thereafter, Supreme acquired PEI. Prior to the hearing on the confirmation of the Plan, Supreme (in its own capacity and on behalf of PEI (collectively, referred to herein as "Supreme-PEI")) filed an objection to the confirmation. In connection with the confirmation of the Plan, Salant and Supreme-PEI settled and resolved their differences and the material terms of such settlement were set forth in a term sheet (the "Term Sheet") attached to and incorporated into the Confirmation Order (the "PEI Settlement"). The PEI Settlement. The following is a summary of the material provisions of the Term Sheet setting forth the terms of the PEI Settlement. The following description is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the Term Sheet. The PEI Settlement provided that: (i) Salant would return to PEI the license to sell Perry Ellis products in Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam and Canada (Salant retained the right to sell its existing inventory in Canada through January 31, 2000); (ii) the royalty rate due PEI under Salant's Perry Ellis Portfolio pants license with respect to regular price sales in excess of $15.0 million annually would be increased to 5%; (iii) Salant would provide Supreme-PEI with the option to take over any real estate lease for a retail store that Salant intends to close; (iv) Salant would assign to Supreme-PEI its sublicense with Aris Industries, Inc. for the manufacture, sale and distribution of the Perry Ellis America brand sportswear and, depending on certain circumstances, Salant would receive certain royalty payments from Supreme-PEI through the year 2005; (v) Salant would pay PEI its pre-petition invoices of $616,844 and post-petition invoices of $56,954 on the later of (a) the Effective Date of the Plan or (b) the due date with respect to such amounts; (vi) Supreme-PEI (a) agreed and acknowledged that the sales of businesses made by Salant during the 1998 Case did not violate the terms of the Perry Ellis Licenses and did not give rise to the termination of the Perry Ellis Licenses and (b) consented to the change of control arising from the conversion of debt into equity under the Plan and acknowledged that such change of control did not give rise to any right to terminate the Perry Ellis Licenses; and (vii) Supreme-PEI withdrew with prejudice, its objection to confirmation of the Plan, and supported confirmation of the Plan. Men's Apparel. In fiscal 2000, the Company's ongoing business was primarily comprised of Perry Ellis products. The Company markets accessories, dress shirts, slacks and sportswear under the PERRY ELLIS and PORTFOLIO BY PERRY ELLIS trademarks and a limited amount of private label products. Retail Outlet Stores. The retail outlet stores business of the Company consists of a chain of outlet stores (the "Stores division"), through which it sells products manufactured by the Company and other Perry Ellis licensed manufacturers. At the end of fiscal 2000, the Company operated 36 Perry Ellis outlet stores. Significant Customers. In 2000 and 1999 approximately 19% of the Company's sales were made to Federated Department Stores, Inc. ("Federated") and approximately 18% of the Company's sales were made to Dillards Corporation ("Dillards"). Also in 2000 and 1999, approximately 17% and 16% of the Company's sales were made to the May Company ("May"), respectively and approximately 13% of the Company's sales were made to Marmaxx Corporation ("Marmaxx") in 2000 and 1999. In 1998 approximately 20% of the Company's sales were made to Sears Roebuck & Company, and approximately 14% of the Company's sales were made to Federated. Also in 1998, approximately 11% of the Company's sales were made to Dillards and approximately 10% of the Company's sales were made to Marmaxx. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the sales during 1998, 1999 or 2000. Trademarks. The markets in which the Company operates are highly competitive. The Company competes primarily on the basis of brand recognition, quality, fashion, price, customer service and merchandising expertise. Approximately 97.9% of the Company's net sales for 2000 were attributable to products sold under Company owned or licensed designer trademarks, primarily PERRY ELLIS and PORTFOLIO BY PERRY ELLIS trademarks (the "Perry Ellis Trademarks"); these products are sold through leading department and specialty stores. The balance was attributable to products sold under retailers' private labels. In January 2001, the Company purchased the assets and trademarks of Tricots St. Raphael, Inc. ("Tricot"). Tricot designs, produces and markets men's designer knitwear and sweaters for better department and specialty stores. Trademarks Licensed to the Company. The Perry Ellis Trademarks are licensed to the Company under the Perry Ellis Licenses with PEI. The license agreements contain renewal options, which, subject to compliance with certain conditions contained therein, permit the Company to extend the terms of such license agreements. Assuming the exercise by the Company of all available renewal options, the license agreements covering men's apparel and accessories will expire on December 31, 2015. The Company also had rights of first refusal worldwide for certain new licenses granted by PEI for men's apparel and accessories through February 1, 2001. On January 28, 1999, PEI and Supreme announced that they had entered into a definitive agreement under which Supreme would acquire for cash all of the stock of PEI for $75 million. On April 7, 1999, Supreme completed the acquisition of PEI and became Salant's licensor under the Perry Ellis Licenses. In the second quarter of 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with Hartz & Company, Inc. ("Hartz") to design, produce and distribute sportswear and furnishings for Hartz's exclusive Tallia brand. No sales for this license were recorded in 2000, however the Company did incur expenses related to the development of the spring 2001 line. Design and Production. Products sold by the Company's various divisions are produced to the designs and specifications (including fabric selections) of designers employed by those divisions. In limited cases, the Company's designers may receive input from the Company's licensors on general themes or color palettes. During 2000, approximately 6.0% of the units produced by the Company were manufactured in the United States, with the balance manufactured in foreign countries. The units produced by the Company were attributable to unaffiliated contract manufacturers. In 2000, approximately 22.6% of the Company's foreign production was manufactured in Guatemala, approximately 21.6% was manufactured in Hong Kong, approximately 20.4% was manufactured in China and approximately 15.3% was manufactured in the Dominican Republic. The Company's foreign sourcing operations are subject to various risks of doing business abroad, including currency fluctuations (although the predominant currency used is the U.S. dollar), quotas and, in certain parts of the world, political instability. Although the Company's operations have not been materially adversely affected by any of such factors to date, any substantial disruption of its relationships with its foreign suppliers could adversely affect its operations. Some of the Company's imported merchandise is subject to United States Customs duties. In addition, bilateral agreements between the major exporting countries and the United States impose quotas, which limit the amounts of certain categories of merchandise that may be imported into the United States. Any material increase in duty levels, material decrease in quota levels or material decrease in available quota allocations could adversely affect the Company's operations. Raw Materials. The raw materials used in the Company's production operations consist principally of finished fabrics made from natural, synthetic and blended fibers. These fabrics and other materials, such as leathers used in the manufacture of various accessories, are purchased from a variety of sources both within and outside the United States. The Company believes that adequate sources of supply at acceptable price levels are available for all such materials. Substantially all of the Company's foreign purchases are denominated in U.S. currency. During fiscal 2000, two suppliers accounted for more than 10%, on an individual basis, of Salant's raw material purchases. Competition. The apparel industry in the United States is highly competitive and characterized by a relatively small number of multi-line manufacturers (such as the Company) and a larger number of specialty manufacturers. The Company faces substantial competition in its markets from companies in both categories. Many of the Company's competitors have greater financial resources than the Company. The Company seeks to maintain its competitive position in the markets for its branded products on the basis of the strong brand recognition associated with those products and, with respect to all of its products, on the basis of styling, quality, fashion, price and customer service. Environmental Regulations. Current environmental regulations have not had, and in the opinion of the Company, assuming the continuation of present conditions, are not expected to have a material effect on the business, capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position of the Company. Seasonality of Business and Backlog of Orders. This information is included under Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Employees. As of the end of 2000, the Company employed 618 persons, of whom 187 were engaged in distribution operations and the remainder were employed in executive, marketing and sales, product design, general and administrative, engineering and purchasing activities and in the operation of the Company's retail outlet stores. The Company believes that its relations with its employees are satisfactory. Pursuant to the business plan implemented in connection with the Plan, the Company no longer engages in manufacturing and has closed all of its distribution facilities, except for its Winnsboro, South Carolina facility, which is covered by a collective bargaining agreement. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES The Company's principal executive offices are located at 1114 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10036. During 1999 and 2000, the Company sold or closed all manufacturing and distribution facilities, except for the owned distribution facility in South Carolina which has 360,000 square feet of space devoted to distribution. The Company leases approximately 97,000 square feet of combined office, design and showroom space. As of the end of 2000, the Company's Stores division operated 36 retail outlet stores, comprising approximately 88,000 square feet of selling space, all of which are leased. Except as noted above, substantially all of the owned and leased property of the Company is used in connection with its men's apparel business or general corporate administrative functions. The Company believes that its facilities and equipment are adequately maintained, in good operating condition, and are adequate for the Company's present needs. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company is a defendant in several legal actions. In the opinion of the Company's management, based upon the advice of the respective attorneys handling such cases, such actions are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow. In addition, the Company notes the following legal proceedings. 1. Bankruptcy Case. On the Filing Date, Salant filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. The Company filed its Plan on the Filing Date and the Plan was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on April 16, 1999. The Plan was consummated on the Effective Date. The 1998 Case is currently pending under the caption In re Salant Corporation, Chapter 11 Case No. 98-10107 (CB). All pre-Filing Date non-disputed and allowed claims against Salant have been or will be satisfied pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Salant has filed, and expects to continue to file, objections to all disputed pre-Filing Date claims asserted against Salant in the 1998 Case. 2. Declaratory Judgement Action. The Company is a defendant in a declaratory judgment action, captioned Hartford Fire Insurance Company v. Salant Corporation, Index No. 60233/98, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York (the "Hartford Action"). The Company's insurers seek a declaratory judgment that the claims asserted against the Company in a lawsuit captioned Maria Delores Rodriguez-Olvera, et al. v. Salant Corp., et al., Case No. 97-07-14605-CV, in the 365th Judicial District Court of Maverick County, Texas (the "Rodriguez-Olvera Action") are not covered under the policies that the insurers had issued. The Company's insurers nevertheless provided a defense to the Company in the Rodriguez-Olvera Action and paid $30 million to settle the case without prejudice to their positions in the Hartford Action. Currently, there are discussions being held with a view to reaching an agreement for the settlement of the Hartford Action; if the settlement proposal is achieved as contemplated, management believes there would be no material impact on the Company's financial position or the results of operations. Pending such a settlement of this action, Salant's insurers have not withdrawn their reservation of rights, and the possibility remains that one or more of such insurers will seek recourse against Salant. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS During the fourth quarter of 2000, no matter was submitted to a vote of security holders of Salant by means of the solicitation of proxies or otherwise. PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS Salant's common stock is currently trading on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the trading symbol SLNT.OB. The high and low sale prices per share of common stock (old and new) for each quarter of 2000 and 1999 are set forth below. The price of the old common stock is reflected for the first two quarters of 1999, while the price of the new common stock is reflected in the third and fourth quarters of 1999 and all of 2000. The Company did not declare or pay any dividends during such years. The Company's financing agreement requires the satisfaction of certain net worth tests and other financial benchmarks prior to having the right to pay any cash dividends. As of December 30, 2000, the Company was prohibited from paying cash dividends by reason of, among other things, these provisions. High and Low Sale Prices Per Share of the New Common Stock * Quarter High Low 2000 Fourth $3.000 $1.875 Third 3.250 2.500 Second 3.060 1.620 First 3.120 1.870 1999 Fourth $4.250 $1.060 Third 6.500 4.120 High and Low Sale Pricese Per Share of the Old Common Stock * Quarter High Low 1999 Second $0.310 $0.125 First 0.200 0.046 * The Company's new common stock was issued in conjunction with the restructuring of the Company's debt pursuant to the Plan on the Effective Date, at which time the Company's old common stock was cancelled. Shareholders of the old common stock received .03337 shares of new common stock for each share of the old common stock. No adjustment has been made to the price of the old common stock reflected above. Although the Effective Date of the Plan was May 11, 1999, trading of the Company's new common stock did not occur until August 11, 1999, therefore no prices are reflected for the second quarter of 1999 for the new common stock. See Note 1 - Financial Reorganization to the Consolidated Financial Statements. On March 23, 2001 there were 968 holders of record of shares of common stock, and the closing market price was $3.25. All of the outstanding voting securities of the Company's subsidiaries are owned beneficially and (except for shares of certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company owned of record by others to satisfy local laws) of record by the Company.

See Note 1. - Financial Reorganization to the Consolidated Financial Statements. ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. Overview In connection with the 1998 Case, Salant filed the Plan with the Bankruptcy Court in order to implement its restructuring. The restructuring consisted of two key components: (i) the conversion of all principal and accrued interest on the Senior Notes into 95% of new common stock of Salant; and (ii) the sale or disposal of substantially all of the Company's businesses other than the businesses conducted under the Perry Ellis Trademarks. In fiscal 2000, the Company's ongoing business was primarily comprised of Perry Ellis products. The Company markets accessories, dress shirts, slacks and sportswear to department stores and better specialty stores primarily under the PERRY ELLIS and PORTFOLIO BY PERRY ELLIS trademarks. Results of Operations Fiscal 2000 Compared with Fiscal 1999 Net Sales In fiscal 2000, net sales of $208.3 million were $40.1 million, or 16.1%, less than net sales of $248.4 million in fiscal 1999. The decrease resulted from the Company's exit from its non-Perry Ellis businesses during 1999, namely its Manhattan, John Henry, Gant and private label dress shirt and accessories businesses and its private label bottoms business. Net sales for these businesses in fiscal 1999 were $44.5 million, compared to none in fiscal 2000. Net sales for the Company's ongoing Perry Ellis and private label businesses for fiscal 2000 were $208.3 million, an increase of $ 4.4 million, or 2.1%, over fiscal 1999 net sales of $203.9 million. Of the increase, net sales of the Company's Perry Ellis retail outlet stores (36 stores at the close of fiscal 2000 compared to 28 stores at the close of fiscal 1999) increased $8.1 million, or 47.0%. Net sales of Perry Ellis men's apparel at wholesale in fiscal 2000 were unchanged at $178 million compared to fiscal 1999. Weakness at retail in the men's accessories business in 2000 and closing the Company's Canadian operations in fiscal year 1999 offset increases in other product lines. Excluding the men's accessories business, the Company's net sales of men's apparel at wholesale increased 5.4% in 2000. Gross Profit In fiscal 2000, gross profit of $55.6 million was $0.4 million less than gross profit of $56.0 million in fiscal 1999. Gross profit margin increased from 22.5% in fiscal 1999 to 26.7% in fiscal 2000. Gross profit for the non-Perry Ellis businesses exited by the Company in fiscal 1999 (as noted above) was $(1.5) million, or (3.5)%, which caused the decline in the Company's overall margin for 1999. Gross profit for the Company's ongoing Perry Ellis and private label businesses decreased to $55.5 million, or 26.7% of net sales, in fiscal 2000 compared to $57.1 million, or 28.1%, in fiscal 1999. The decline in margin was primarily due to the weakness in the men's accessories business, noted above. The Company has also experienced a decline in the margins for closeout sales of prior season Perry Ellis products. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses (S,G&A) for fiscal 2000 were $45.2 million, or 21.7% of net sales, compared to $54.9 million, or 22.1% of net sales, in fiscal 1999, a decrease of $9.7 million, or 17.7%. As part of the Company's restructuring noted above, headcount in S,G&A was reduced resulting in a reduction in salaries and related benefits. In addition, the Company realized savings due to the reduced overhead associated with its reorganization. Royalty Income Royalty income decreased $1.2 million, or 61.4%, to $0.7 million in fiscal 2000 from $1.9 million in fiscal 1999. The decrease in royalties was due to the sale of the John Henry and Manhattan trademarks at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 1999. Provision for Restructuring During fiscal 2000, the Company realized $0.6 million in favorable recoveries on the disposal and sale of buildings and other assets and settlements of previously recorded liabilities, partially offset by an increase in the estimated severance related to the closure of the Company's Mexican manufacturing operations. During 2000, the Company incurred approximately $0.9 million of restructuring costs that were provided for in 1999 and 1998. These costs included severance and employee costs of $0.5 million, lease payments of $0.1 million and the remaining balance for other restructuring costs, offset by $0.3 million of gains from the sale of property, plant and equipment. During the first quarter of 1999, the Company recorded a provision for restructuring of $4.0 million, primarily for severance pay for employees terminated in 1999, as part of the Company's restructuring and exit from its non-Perry Ellis businesses. During 1999, the Company incurred approximately $5.7 million (mostly cash related items) of restructuring costs that were either provided for in 1999 or included in the restructuring reserve balance at January 2, 1999. These costs included severance and employee costs of $4.1 million, lease payments of $0.8 million, royalty payments of $0.5 million and the remaining balance for other restructuring costs, offset by $0.4 million of gains from the sale of fixed assets. Interest Income / Expense, Net In fiscal 2000, net interest income was $1.2 million compared to net interest expense of $0.4 million in fiscal 1999. The change resulted primarily from the sale of the Company's Manhattan and John Henry trademarks for $27 million, as well as the Company's operating cash flow for fiscal 2000 of $8.4 million, both of which have significantly reduced the Company's needs under its existing credit facility. Income/Loss from Continuing Operations In fiscal 2000, the Company's income from continuing operations was $12.7 million, or $1.28 per share, compared to a loss of $2.1 million, or $0.21 per pro forma share, in fiscal 1999. Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization, Reorganization Costs, Debt Restructuring Costs, Restructuring Charges, Discontinued Operations, and Extraordinary Gain Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, reorganization costs, debt restructuring costs, restructuring charges, discontinued operations and extraordinary gain was $15.5 million (7.4% of net sales) in fiscal 2000, compared to $8.6 million (3.5% of net sales) in fiscal 1999, an increase of $6.9 million, or 80.2%. The Company believes this information is helpful in understanding cash flow from operations, which is available for debt service and capital expenditures. This measure is not included in generally accepted accounting principles and is not a substitute for operating income, net income or cash flows from operating activities. Extraordinary Gain In fiscal 1999, the Company recorded an extraordinary gain of $24.7 million, or $2.47 per pro forma share, on the conversion of its Senior Notes and related unpaid interest into new common stock, as part of its restructuring. The holders of the Senior Notes exchanged $104.9 million of Senior Notes and $14.8 million of accrued and unpaid interest for 9.5 million shares of new common stock, representing 95% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. Income / Loss from Discontinued Operations In fiscal 2000, the Company recorded income of $0.6 million related to the discontinuance of the Children's group. The income related primarily to better than anticipated recovery on the sale of assets (primarily the real estate holdings) related to the Children's business. In fiscal 1999, the Company recorded a charge of $2.0 million related to the discontinuance of its Children's Group. The charge of $2.0 million related to additional losses incurred during the phase-out period and additional expenses incurred in disposing of the assets related to the Children's business. Net Income Net income for fiscal 2000 was $13.3 million, or $1.34 per share, compared to income of $20.6 million, or $2.06 per pro forma share for fiscal year 1999. Fiscal 1999 Compared with Fiscal 1998 Net Sales In fiscal 1999, net sales of $248.4 million were $52.2 million, or 17.4%, less than net sales of $300.6 million in fiscal 1998. The decrease resulted from the Company's exit from its non-Perry Ellis businesses during 1999, namely its Manhattan, John Henry, Gant and private label dress shirt and accessories businesses and its private label bottoms business. Net sales for these businesses in fiscal 1999 were $44.5 million, compared to $112.7 million in fiscal 1998, a decrease of $68.3 million, or 60.6%. Net sales for the Company's ongoing Perry Ellis and private label businesses for fiscal 1999 were $203.9 million, an increase of $16.0 million, or 8.5%, over fiscal 1998 net sales of $187.9 million. Of the increase, net sales of the Company's Perry Ellis retail outlet stores (28 stores in fiscal 1999 compared to 20 stores in fiscal 1998) increased $3.4 million, or 25.0%, net sales of Perry Ellis men's apparel at wholesale increased $12.4 million, or 7.5%, and net sales of the Company's private label accessories business increased $0.2 million, or 2.1%. Gross Profit In fiscal 1999, gross profit of $56.0 million was $6.4 million less than gross profit of $62.4 million in fiscal 1998. Gross profit margin increased from 20.8% in fiscal 1998 to 22.5% in fiscal 1999. Gross profit for the Company's ongoing Perry Ellis and private label businesses increased to $57.5 million, or 28.2%, in fiscal 1999 compared to $51.8 million, or 27.6%, in fiscal 1998. Gross profit for the non-Perry Ellis businesses exited by the Company in fiscal 1999, noted above, was $(1.5) million, or (3.5)%, compared to $10.6 million, or 9.4%, in fiscal 1998. The decrease resulted from markdowns required to dispose of the inventories of these businesses. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses (S,G&A) for fiscal 1999 were $54.9 million, or 22.1% of net sales, compared to $72.0 million, or 23.9% of net sales, in fiscal 1998, a decrease of $17.1 million, or 23.7%. As part of the Company's restructuring noted above, headcount in S,G&A was reduced from 525 in fiscal 1998 to 400 in fiscal 1999, resulting in savings of $8.3 million in salaries and related benefits. In addition, the Company realized savings due to the reduced overhead associated with the reorganization of the Company, along with the reduction of consulting fees. Royalty Income Royalty income decreased $3.4 million, or 64.2%, to $1.9 million in fiscal 1999 from $5.3 million in fiscal 1998. The decrease in royalties was due to the sale of the John Henry and Manhattan trademarks, which resulted in royalty income from these trademarks for only the first quarter of 1999 versus the entire year of 1998. Provision for Restructuring During the first quarter of 1999, the Company recorded a provision for restructuring of $4.0 million, primarily for severance pay for employees terminated in 1999, as part of the Company's restructuring and exit from its non-Perry Ellis businesses. During 1999 the Company incurred approximately $5.7 million (mostly cash related items) of restructuring costs that were either provided for in 1999 or included in the restructuring reserve balance at January 2, 1999. These costs included severance and employee costs of $4.1 million, lease payments of $0.8 million, royalty payments of $0.5 million and the remaining balance for other restructuring costs, offset by $0.4 million of gains from the sale of fixed assets. At January 1, 2000 the Company had a building in Andalusia, Alabama still available for sale. Additional costs of $0.1 million were anticipated and accrued due to holding the Andalusia facility and additional employee related expenses of $0.2 million were accrued and anticipated for 2000. The additional employee related expenses are primarily related to increased insurance costs for closed facilities. These additional costs were offset by the favorable results of settlements of royalties and other restructuring costs of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. In fiscal 1998, the Company recorded a provision for restructuring of $24.8 million, also related to the Company's exit from its non-Perry Ellis businesses. The provision included $16.2 million for the loss on sale of the Company's Manhattan and John Henry trademarks, goodwill and related operating assets. The provision also included (i) $6.3 million for write downs of property, plant and equipment of the Company's manufacturing, distribution and office facilities to be disposed of as part of its restructuring, (ii) $2.9 million for the write off of other assets, severance costs, lease termination and other restructuring costs, and (iii) an offset of $0.6 million relating to adjustments of previously recorded restructuring reserves and the gain on sale of a facility in Thomson, Georgia. Interest Expense, Net For fiscal 1999, net interest expense was $0.4 million compared to $13.9 million in fiscal 1998. The decrease resulted primarily from the conversion of $104.9 million aggregate principal face amount of Senior Notes into equity, as part of the Company's restructuring in fiscal 1999. In addition, the sale of the Company's Manhattan and John Henry trademarks for $27 million, as well as the Company's operating cash flow for fiscal 1999 of $45.2 million, has significantly reduced the Company's borrowing needs under its credit facility. At January 1, 2000 there were no borrowings outstanding under the Company's credit facility, compared to $38.5 million at January 2, 1999. Loss from Continuing Operations In fiscal 1999, the Company's loss from continuing operations was $2.1 million, or $0.21 per pro forma share, compared to a loss of $56.8 million, or $5.68 per pro forma share, in fiscal 1998. Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization, Reorganization Costs, Debt Restructuring Costs, Restructuring Charges, Discontinued Operations, and Extraordinary Gain Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, reorganization costs, debt restructuring costs, restructuring charges, discontinued operations and extraordinary gain was $8.6 million (3.5% of net sales) in fiscal 1999, compared to $3.3 million (1.1% of net sales) in fiscal 1998, an increase of $5.3 million, or 160.6%. The Company believes this information is helpful in understanding cash flow from operations which is available for debt service and capital expenditures. This measure is not included in generally accepted accounting principles and is not a substitute for operating income, net income or cash flows from operating activities. Extraordinary Gain In fiscal 1999, the Company recorded an extraordinary gain of $24.7 million, or $2.47 per pro forma share, on the conversion of its Senior Notes and related unpaid interest into new common stock, as part of its restructuring. The holders of the Senior Notes exchanged $104.9 million of Senior Notes and $14.8 million of accrued and unpaid interest for 9.5 million shares of new common stock, representing 95% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. Loss from Discontinued Operations In fiscal 1999, the Company recorded a charge of $2.0 million related to the discontinuance of its Children's Group. The charge of $2.0 million related to additional losses incurred during the phase-out period and additional expenses incurred in disposing of the assets related to the Children's business. In fiscal 1998, the Company recorded a charge of $15.9 million, also relating to the discontinuance of the Children's Group. Of the $15.9 million, $10.2 million related to operating losses of the Children's Group prior to the date of discontinuance, and $5.7 million represented estimated future operating losses and the estimated loss on the sale of the business. The $5.7 million consisted of asset write-offs of $2.9 million, estimated losses from operations during the phase out period of $1.6 million, severance pay of $1.5 million and royalty and lease payments of $1.5 million, offset by $1.8 million for the sale of the Company's Dr. Denton trademark. The Children's Group had net sales of $5.5 million and $42.8 million in fiscal 1999 and 1998, respectively. Net Income/(Loss) Net income for fiscal 1999 was $20.6 million, or $2.06 per pro forma share, compared to a net loss of $72.7 million, or $7.27 per pro forma share for fiscal 1998. In addition to the items noted above, the improvement was due to lower chapter 11 reorganization costs ($.5 million in 1999 as compared to $3.2 million in 1998) and a debt restructuring charge of $8.6 million recorded in 1998. Liquidity and Capital Resources Upon commencement of the 1998 Case, Salant filed a motion seeking the authority of the Bankruptcy Court to enter into a revolving credit facility with The CIT Group/Commercial Services, Inc. ("CIT"), Salant's existing working capital lender pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Ratification and Amendment Agreement, dated as of December 29, 1998 (the "Amendment") which, together with related documents are referred to as the "CIT DIP Facility," effective as of the Filing Date, which would replace the Company's existing working capital facility under its then existing credit agreement. On December 29, 1998, the Bankruptcy Court approved the CIT DIP Facility on an interim basis and on January 19, 1999 the Bankruptcy Court approved the CIT DIP Facility on a final basis. On May 11, 1999, the effective date of the Plan, the Company entered into a syndicated revolving credit facility (the "Credit Agreement") with CIT pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of a commitment letter dated December 7, 1998, which replaced the CIT DIP Facility described above. The Credit Agreement provides for a general working capital facility, in the form of direct borrowings and letters of credit, up to $85 million subject to an asset-based borrowing formula. The Credit Agreement consists of an $85 million revolving credit facility, with at least a $35 million letter of credit subfacility. As collateral for borrowings under the Credit Agreement, the Company granted to CIT and a syndicate of lenders arranged by CIT (the "Lenders") a first priority lien on and security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company. The Credit Agreement has an initial term of three years. The Credit Agreement also provides, among other things, that (i) the Company will be charged an interest rate on direct borrowings of .25% in excess of the Prime Rate or at the Company's request, 2.25% in excess of LIBOR (as defined in the Credit Agreement), and (ii) the Lenders may, in their sole discretion, make loans to the Company in excess of the borrowing formula but within the $85 million limit of the revolving credit facility. The Company is required under the agreement to maintain certain financial covenants relating to consolidated tangible net worth, capital expenditures, maximum pre-tax losses/minimum pre-tax income and minimum interest coverage ratios. The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants at December 30, 2000. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company will pay or paid the following fees: (i) a documentary letter of credit fee of 1/8 of 1.0% on issuance and 1/8 of 1.0% on negotiation; (ii) a standby letter of credit fee of 1.0% per annum plus bank charges; (iii) a commitment fee of $325 thousand; (iv) an unused line fee of .25%; (v) an agency fee of $100 thousand (only for the second and third years of the term of the Credit Agreement); (vi) a collateral management fee of $8,333 per month; and (vii) a field exam fee of $750 per day plus out-of-pocket expenses. At the end of fiscal 2000, there were no direct borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement. Letters of credit outstanding were $30.0 million and the Company had unused availability, based on outstanding letters of credit and existing collateral, of $21.7 million. In addition to the unused availability, the Company had approximately $34.7 million of cash available to fund its operations. At the end of fiscal 1999, there were no direct borrowings outstanding and letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement were $30.1 million, at which time the Company had unused availability of $16.5 million. In addition to the unused availability, the Company had approximately $30.1 million of cash available to fund its operations. During fiscal 2000, the maximum aggregate amount of direct borrowings and letters of credit outstanding at any one time was $36.3 million, at which time the Company had unused availability of $16.9 million. During fiscal 1999, the maximum aggregate amount of direct borrowings and letters of credit outstanding at any one time was $66.9 million, at which time the Company had unused availability of $13.0 million. The Company's cash provided by operating activities for fiscal 2000 was $8.4 million, which primarily reflects (i) income from continuing operations of $12.7 million, (ii) an increase in accounts payable of $2.7 million, and (iii) non-cash charges, such as depreciation and amortization of $ 4.6 million. These items were offset by an increase in inventory of $3.6 million, a decrease in liabilities subject to compromise of $3.0 million, a decrease in accrued liabilities of $2.4 million and a decrease in the reserve for business restructuring of $1.2 million. Cash used by investing activities for fiscal 2000 was $3.8 million, which reflects $1.9 million of capital expenditures and $1.9 million for the installation of store fixtures in department stores. During fiscal 2001, the Company plans to make capital expenditures of approximately $4.1 million and to spend an additional $1.1 million for the installation of store fixtures in department stores. New Accounting Standards In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which is effective for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities. Under SFAS 133, certain contracts that were not formerly considered derivatives may now meet the definition of a derivative. The Company adopted SFAS 133 effective as of December 31, 2000. Management does not expect the adoption of SFAS 133 to have a significant impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company because the Company does not have significant derivative activity. Seasonality Although the Company typically introduces and withdraws various individual products throughout the year, its principal products are organized into the customary retail Spring, Transition, Fall and Holiday seasonal lines. The Company's products are designed as much as one year in advance and manufactured approximately one season in advance of the related retail selling season. Backlog The Company does not consider the amount of its backlog of orders to be significant to an understanding of its business primarily due to increased utilization of EDI technology, which provides for the electronic transmission of orders from customers' computers to the Company's computers. As a result, orders are placed closer to the required delivery date than had been the case prior to EDI technology. At March 20, 2001, the Company's backlog of orders was approximately $44.6 million, which was 6.4% more than the backlog of orders of approximately $41.9 million that existed at March 20, 2000. Factors that May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition This report contains or incorporates by reference forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Where any such forward-looking statement includes a statement of the assumptions or bases underlying such forward-looking statement, the Company cautions that assumed facts or bases almost always vary from the actual results, and the differences between assumed facts or bases and actual results can be material, depending on the circumstances. Where, in any forward-looking statement, the Company or its management expresses an expectation or belief as to future results, there can be no assurance that the statement of the expectation or belief will result or be achieved or accomplished. The words "believe", "expect", "estimate", "project", "seek", "anticipate" and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements. The Company's future operating results and financial condition are dependent upon the Company's ability to successfully design, manufacture, import and market apparel. Taking into account the foregoing, the following are identified as important factors that could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement made by, or on behalf of, the Company: Competition. The apparel industry in the United States is highly competitive and characterized by a relatively small number of multi-line manufacturers (such as the Company) and a large number of specialty manufacturers. The Company faces substantial competition in its markets from manufacturers in both categories. Many of the Company's competitors have greater financial resources than the Company. The Company also competes for private label programs with the internal sourcing organizations of many of its own customers. Strategic Initiatives. During the second quarter of 2000, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with Hartz to design, produce and distribute men's sportswear and furnishings for Hartz's exclusive Tallia brand. In the first quarter of 2001, the Company purchased the assets and trademarks of Tricots which designs, produces, and markets better men's sweaters and sportswear. Management of the Company is continuing to consider various strategic opportunities, including but not limited to, new menswear licenses and/or acquisitions. Management is also exploring ways to increase productivity and efficiency, and to reduce the cost structures of its respective businesses. Through this process management expects to increase its distribution channels and achieve effective economies of scale. No assurance may be given that any transactions resulting from this process will be announced or completed. Apparel Industry Cycles and other Economic Factors. The apparel industry historically has been subject to substantial cyclical variation, with consumer spending on apparel tending to decline during recessionary periods. A decline in the general economy or uncertainties regarding future economic prospects may affect consumer spending habits, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and financial condition. Retail Environment. Various retailers, including some of the Company's customers, have experienced declines in revenue and profits in recent periods and some have been forced to file for bankruptcy protection. To the extent that these financial difficulties continue, there can be no assurance that the Company's financial condition and results of operations would not be adversely affected. Seasonality of Business and Fashion Risk. The Company's principal products are organized into seasonal lines for resale at the retail level during the Spring, Transition, Fall and Holiday Seasons. Typically, the Company's products are designed as much as one year in advance and manufactured approximately one season in advance of the related retail selling season. Accordingly, the success of the Company's products is often dependent on the ability of the Company to successfully anticipate the needs of the Company's retail customers and the tastes of the ultimate consumer up to a year prior to the relevant selling season. Foreign Operations. The Company's foreign sourcing operations are subject to various risks of doing business abroad, including currency fluctuations (although the predominant currency used is the U.S. dollar), quotas and, in certain parts of the world, political instability. Any substantial disruption of its relationship with its foreign suppliers could adversely affect the Company's operations. Some of the Company's imported merchandise is subject to United States Customs duties. In addition, bilateral agreements between the major exporting countries and the United States impose quotas, which limit the amount of certain categories of merchandise that may be imported into the United States. Any material increase in duty levels, material decrease in quota levels or material decrease in available quota allocation could adversely affect the Company's operations. The Company's operations in Asia are subject to certain political and economic risks including, but not limited to, political instability, changing tax and trade regulations and currency devaluations and controls. Although the Company has experienced no material foreign currency transaction losses, its operations in the region are subject to an increased level of economic instability. The impact of these events on the Company's business, and in particular its sources of supply, cannot be determined at this time. Dependence on Contract Manufacturing. As of December 30, 2000, the Company produced all of its products (in units) through arrangements with independent contract manufacturers, as the Company closed its manufacturing facilities during 1999. The use of such contractors and the resulting lack of direct control could subject the Company to difficulty in obtaining timely delivery of products of acceptable quality. In addition, as is customary in the industry, the Company does not have any long-term contracts with its fabric suppliers or product manufacturers. While the Company is not dependent on one particular product manufacturer or raw material supplier, the loss of several such product manufacturers and/or raw material suppliers in a given season could have a material adverse effect on the Company's performance. Because of the foregoing factors, as well as other factors affecting the Company's operating results and financial condition, past financial performance should not be considered to be a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors are cautioned not to use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in the future. In addition, the Company's participation in the highly competitive apparel industry often results in significant volatility in the Company's common stock price. ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company does not engage in the trading of market risk sensitive instruments in the normal course of business. Financing arrangements for the Company are subject to variable interest rates including rates primarily based on the Reference Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), with a LIBOR option. An analysis of the Credit Agreement can be found in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Financing Agreements, included in this report of Form 10-K. On December 30, 2000 there were no direct borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement. ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA Independent Auditors' Report To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Salant Corporation: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Salant Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 30, 2000 and January 1, 2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity/deficiency and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 30, 2000. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the index at Item 14. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Salant Corporation and subsidiaries at December 30, 2000 and January 1, 2000, the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 30, 2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects, the information set forth therein. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Bankruptcy Court has entered an order confirming the Plan of Reorganization which became effective on May 11, 1999. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP March 9, 2001 New York, New York

See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements SALANT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Amounts in Thousands of Dollars, Except Share and Per Share Data) Note 1. Financial Reorganization On December 29, 1998 (the "Filing Date"), Salant Corporation filed a petition under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the "Bankruptcy Court") (the "1998 Case") in order to implement a restructuring of its 10-1/2 % Senior Secured Notes due December 31, 1998 (the "Senior Notes"). Salant also filed its plan of reorganization (the "Plan") with the Bankruptcy Court on the Filing Date in order to implement its restructuring. On April 16, 1999, the Bankruptcy Court issued an order (the "Confirmation Order") confirming the Plan. The effective date of the Plan occurred on May 11, 1999 (the "Effective Date"). Pursuant to the Plan (i) all of the outstanding principal amount of Senior Notes, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, was converted into 95% of Salant's new common stock, subject to dilution, and (ii) all of Salant's existing common stock was converted into 5% of Salant's new common stock, subject to dilution. Salant's general unsecured creditors (including trade creditors) were unimpaired and are entitled to be paid in full. The Plan was approved by all of the holders of Senior Notes that voted and over 96% of the holders of Salant common stock that voted. Salant operates its Perry Ellis businesses under certain licensing agreements (the "Perry Ellis Licenses") between Salant and Perry Ellis International, Inc. ("PEI"). During the 1998 Case, Supreme International Corporation ("Supreme") entered into discussions with PEI to acquire PEI and, thereafter, Supreme acquired PEI. Prior to the hearing on the confirmation of the Plan, Supreme (in its own capacity and on behalf of PEI (collectively, referred to herein as "Supreme-PEI")) filed an objection to the confirmation. In connection with the confirmation of the Plan, Salant and Supreme-PEI settled and resolved their differences and the material terms of such settlement were set forth in a term sheet (the "Term Sheet") attached to and incorporated into the Confirmation Order (the "PEI Settlement"). The following is a summary of the material provisions of the Term Sheet setting forth the terms of the PEI Settlement. The following description is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the Term Sheet. The PEI Settlement provided that: (i) Salant would return to PEI the license to sell Perry Ellis products in Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam and Canada (Salant retained the right to sell its existing inventory in Canada through January 31, 2000); (ii) the royalty rate due PEI under Salant's Perry Ellis Portfolio pants license with respect to regular price sales in excess of $15.0 million annually would be increased to 5%; (iii) Salant would provide Supreme-PEI with the option to take over any real estate lease for a retail store that Salant intends to close; (iv) Salant would assign to Supreme-PEI its sublicense with Aris Industries, Inc. for the manufacture, sale and distribution of the Perry Ellis America brand sportswear and, depending on certain circumstances, Salant would receive certain royalty payments from Supreme-PEI through the year 2005; (v) Salant would pay PEI its pre-petition invoices of $616,844 and post-petition invoices of $56,954 on the later of (a) the Effective Date of the Plan or (b) the due date with respect to such amounts; (vi) Supreme-PEI (a) agreed and acknowledged that the sales of businesses made by Salant during the 1998 Case did not violate the terms of the Perry Ellis Licenses and did not give rise to the termination of the Perry Ellis Licenses and (b) consented to the change of control arising from the conversion of debt into equity under the Plan and acknowledged that such change of control did not give rise to any right to terminate the Perry Ellis Licenses; and (vii) Supreme-PEI withdrew with prejudice its objection to confirmation of the Plan, and supported confirmation of the Plan. As of the Filing Date, Salant had $143,807 (consisting of $14,703 in Senior Note interest, $104,879 of Senior Notes and $24,225 of unsecured pre-bankruptcy claims) of liabilities subject to compromise, in addition to $38,496 of loans payable to CIT. In addition Salant accrued the estimated fees of $3,200 in the 1998 fourth quarter in connection with the administration of the 1998 Case. Pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date, all of Salant's then existing common stock ("Old Common Stock"), $1.00 par value per share, was cancelled. In accordance with the Plan, 10,000,000 shares of new common stock, $1.00 par value per share (the "New Common Stock"), were issued by Salant as follows: (i) 9,500,000 shares of the New Common Stock were distributed to the holders (the "Noteholders") of Salant's Senior Notes, in full satisfaction of all of the outstanding principal amount, plus all accrued and unpaid interest on the Senior Notes and (ii) 500,000 shares of the New Common Stock were distributed to the holders of Salant's Old Common Stock, in full satisfaction of any and all interests of such holders in Salant. Accordingly, under the Plan, as of the Effective Date, Salant's stockholders immediately prior to the Effective Date, who at that time owned 100% of the outstanding Old Common Stock of Salant, received, in the aggregate, 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of New Common Stock, subject to dilution, and the Noteholders received, in the aggregate, 95% of the issued and outstanding shares of New Common Stock, subject to dilution. The Company reserved 1,111,111 shares (10% of the outstanding shares) of New Common Stock for the 1999 Stock Award and Incentive Plan. The authorized capital stock of Salant as of the Effective Date consists of (i) 45,000,000 shares of New Common Stock, $1.00 par value per share and (ii) 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $2.00 par value per share (the "Preferred Stock"). No Preferred Stock has been issued either in connection with the Plan or otherwise. Post-restructuring, Salant has focused primarily on its Perry Ellis men's apparel business and, as a result, Salant exited its other businesses, including its Children's Group and non-Perry Ellis menswear divisions. During 1999, the Company sold its John Henry and Manhattan businesses. These businesses included the John Henry, Manhattan and Lady Manhattan trade names, the John Henry and Manhattan dress shirt inventory, the leasehold interest in the dress shirt facility located in Valle Hermosa, Mexico, and the equipment located at the Valle Hermosa facility and at Salant's facility located in Andalusia, Alabama. During 1999, Salant also sold its Children's Group, which primarily involved the sale of inventory related to the Children's Group. As a result of the above, Salant will now report its business operations as a single segment. Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation and Consolidation The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Salant Corporation ("Salant") and subsidiaries. (As used herein, the "Company" includes Salant and its subsidiaries but excludes Salant Children's Group.) In December 1998, the Company decided to discontinue the operations of the Children's Group, which produced and marketed children's blanket sleepers primarily using a number of well-known licensed characters created by, among others, DISNEY and WARNER BROTHERS. The Children's Group also marketed pajamas under the DR. DENTON and OSHKOSH B'GOSH trademarks, and sleepwear and underwear under the JOE BOXER trademark. As further described in Note 17, the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto reflect the Children's Group division as a discontinued operation. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The Company's principal business is the designing, producing, importing and marketing of men's apparel and as such, management believes that the Company only operates in one reportable segment. The Company currently sells its products to retailers, including department and specialty stores, and for a portion of 1999 made limited sales of certain products to national chains, major discounters and mass volume retailers, throughout the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (such as accounts receivable, inventories, restructuring reserves and valuation allowances for income taxes), 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. Fiscal Year The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to December 31. The 2000, 1999 and 1998 fiscal years were comprised of 52 weeks. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications were made to the 1998 and 1999 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2000 presentation. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company treats cash on hand, deposits in banks and certificates of deposit with original maturities of less than 3 months as cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of the statements of cash flows. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (principally determined on a first-in, first-out basis for apparel operations and the retail inventory method on a first-in, first-out basis for outlet store operations) or market. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated or amortized over their estimated useful lives, or for leasehold improvements, the lease term, if shorter. Depreciation and amortization are computed principally by the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and by accelerated methods for income tax purposes. The annual depreciation rates used are as follows: Buildings and improvements 2.5% - 10.0% Machinery, equipment and autos 6.7% - 33.3% Furniture and fixtures 10.0% - 33.3% Leasehold improvements Shorter of the life of the asset or the lease term Other Assets Intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives of 25 years. Costs in excess of fair value of net assets acquired are assessed for recoverability on a periodic basis. In evaluating the value and future benefits of these intangible assets, their carrying value would be reduced by the excess, if any, of the intangibles over management's best estimate of undiscounted future operating income of the acquired businesses before amortization of the related intangible assets over the remaining amortization period. Income Taxes Deferred income taxes are provided to reflect the tax effect of temporary differences between financial statement income and taxable income in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". Fair Value of Financial Instruments For financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and payable, and accrued expenses, the carrying amounts approximated fair value because of their short maturity. Liabilities subject to compromise are valued based upon the amount the Company plans to pay in accordance with the Plan. In addition, deferred liabilities have carrying amounts approximating fair value. Income/(Loss) Per Share Pro forma basic income/(loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares as if the New Common Stock had been issued at the beginning of the earliest period presented. Common stock equivalents are not considered, as the options for the New Common Stock are anti-dilutive for the periods presented. The following is a comparison of basic and diluted income/(loss) per share using the historical shares outstanding. Common stock equivalents are not considered for the Old Common Stock, as the options were cancelled or anti-dilutive. Such computation does not give retroactive effect to the issuance of the New Common Stock. 1999 1998 Basic and diluted income/(loss) per share: From continuing operations $(0.18) $(3.74) From discontinued operations (0.17) (1.05) From extraordinary gain 2.09 0.00 ------- ------- Basic and diluted income/(loss) per share $ 1.74 $(4.79) ====== ====== Weighted average common stock outstanding 11,830 15,171 ====== ====== Foreign Currency The Company had no forward foreign exchange contracts at the end of fiscal 2000 and 1999. In fiscal 1998, the Company entered into forward foreign exchange contracts, relating to its projected 1999 Mexican peso needs, to fix its cost of acquiring pesos and diminish the risk of currency fluctuations. Gains and losses on foreign currency contracts are included in income and offset the gains and losses on the underlying transactions. On January 2, 1999, the outstanding foreign currency contracts had a cost of $4,886 and a year end market value of $4,851. Subsequent to year-end 1998 and in connection with the restructuring, the outstanding foreign currency contracts were sold without a material gain or loss. Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized at the time merchandise is shipped. Retail outlet store revenues are recognized at the time of sale. New Accounting Standards In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which is effective for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities. Under SFAS 133, certain contracts that were not formerly considered derivatives may now meet the definition of a derivative. The Company adopted SFAS 133 effective as of December 31, 2000. Management does not expect the adoption of SFAS 133 to have a significant impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company because the Company does not have significant derivative activity. Note 3. Restructuring Costs In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company recorded a net reversal of $629 due to favorable recovery on the sale of its Andalusia, Alabama facility and the recovery of other assets and settlement of previously recorded liabilities, partially offset by increased severance costs related to the closure of the Company's Mexican manufacturing operations. During 2000, the Company used approximately $908 of its restructuring reserves related to severance and employee costs of $498, lease payments of $89 and the remaining balance for other restructuring costs, offset by gains from the sale of fixed assets of $299. At the end of fiscal 2000, $1,070 remained in the reserve of which $550 relates to severance and other employee costs, $200 for lease buyouts and $320 for other restructuring items. Activity in the accrued reserve for business restructuring for fiscal 2000 is as follows: Balance Gains from Accrual/ Balance 1/1/00 Uses Sales Reversal 12/30/00 Lease payments and other property costs $ 600 $ (89) $ 264 $ (575) $ 200 Severance 850 (498) -- 198 550 Other 858 (321) 35 (252) 320 -------- -------- ------ -------- -------- $2,308 $ (908) $ 299 $ (629) $1,070 ====== ======= ===== ======= ====== In 1999, the Company recorded a provision for restructuring of $4,039 related the Company's 1998 decision to focus primarily on its Perry Ellis men's apparel business. The restructuring charge related primarily to employee costs of $3,898 that could not be accrued in 1998, as the employees were not notified until 1999. In addition, $161 of the charge was related to the write off of store fixtures and the closing of the Company's operations in Canada. During 1999 the Company used approximately $5,671 of its restructuring reserves related to severance and employee costs of $4,080, lease payments of $753 offset by $389 of gains from the sale of fixed assets, royalties of $452 and the remaining balance for other restructuring costs. At the end of fiscal 1999, $2,308 remained in the reserve of which approximately $850 related to severance and other employee related costs, $600 for lease buy outs and other asset related disposal costs and $858 for other restructuring items. Activity in the accrued reserve for business restructuring for fiscal 1999 is as follows: Balance Balance 1/2/99 Provisions Uses Other 1/1/00 Lease payments and other property costs $ 845 $ (389) $ (753) $ 508 $ 600 Royalties 592 -- (452) (140) -- Severance 840 3,878 (4,080) 212 850 Other 1,274 161 (386) (191) 858 ------ --------- -------- -------- -------- $3,551 $4,039 $(5,671) $ 389 $2,308 ====== ====== ======= ====== ====== Assets held for sale at January 1, 2000 related to the facility in Andalusia, Alabama. Additional costs of $119 were anticipated due to holding the Andalusia facility and additional employee related expenses of $212 were accrued and were anticipated for 2000. These additional costs were offset by the favorable results of settlements of royalties and other restructuring liabilities of $140 and $191, respectively. The Company subsequently sold this facility during fiscal 2000. In 1998, the Company recorded a provision for restructuring of $24,825 related to its decision to focus primarily on its Perry Ellis men's apparel business. As a result, the Company has substantially exited its other businesses. During 1999, Salant sold its John Henry and Manhattan businesses pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated December 28, 1998 (subject to and subsequently approved by the Bankruptcy Court on February 26, 1999). These businesses included the John Henry, Manhattan and Lady Manhattan trade names and the related goodwill, the leasehold interest in a dress shirt facility located in Valle Hermosa, Mexico, and equipment located at the Valle Hermosa facility and at Salant's facility located in Andalusia, Alabama. These assets had a net book value of $43,184 (consisting of $29,979 for goodwill, $9,680 for licenses and $3,525 for fixed assets) and were sold for $27,000, resulting in a loss of $16,184. At the end of fiscal 1998 the net realizable value of $27,000 for these assets was included in the consolidated balance sheet as assets held for sale. The assets not sold in this transaction were also included as assets held for sale and were recorded at their estimated net realizable value of $1,400 at January 2, 1999. In addition to the $16,184 charge noted above, the 1998 restructuring provision consisted of (i) $6,305 of additional property, plant and equipment write-downs, (ii) $2,936 for the write off of other assets, severance costs, lease exit costs and other restructuring costs and (iii) offset by $600 from the reversal of previously recorded restructuring reserves primarily resulting from the settlement of liabilities for less than the carrying amount and the gain on the sale of a manufacturing and distribution facility. Note 4. Extraordinary Gain In the second quarter of 1999, the Company recorded an extraordinary gain of $24,703 related to the conversion of the Senior Notes and the related unpaid interest into equity, as described in Note 1. Pursuant to the Plan, the Noteholders received, in the aggregate, 95% of the issued and outstanding shares of New Common Stock, subject to dilution, in full satisfaction of all of the outstanding principal amount ($104,879), plus all accrued and unpaid interest ($14,824) on the Senior Notes. As a result, pursuant to the Plan, 9,500,000 shares of the New Common Stock, were distributed to the holders of the Senior Notes. Note 5.

Financing Agreements Upon commencement of the 1998 Case, Salant filed a motion seeking the authority of the Bankruptcy Court to enter into a revolving credit facility with The CIT Group/Commercial Services, Inc. ("CIT"), Salant's existing working capital lender pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Ratification and Amendment Agreement, dated as of December 29, 1998 (the "Amendment") which, together with related documents are referred to as the "CIT DIP Facility," effective as of the Filing Date, which would replace the Company's existing working capital facility under its then existing credit agreement. On December 29, 1998, the Bankruptcy Court approved the CIT DIP Facility on an interim basis and on January 19, 1999 the Bankruptcy Court approved the CIT DIP Facility on a final basis. On May 11, 1999, the effective date, the Company entered into a syndicated revolving credit facility (the "Credit Agreement") with CIT pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of a commitment letter dated December 7, 1998 which replaced the CIT DIP Facility. The Credit Agreement provides for a general working capital facility, in the form of direct borrowings and letters of credit, up to $85 million subject to an asset-based borrowing formula. The Credit Agreement consists of an $85 million revolving credit facility, with at least a $35 million letter of credit subfacility. As collateral for borrowings under the Credit Agreement, the Company granted to CIT and a syndicate of lenders arranged by CIT (the "Lenders") a first priority lien on and security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company. The Credit Agreement has an initial term of three years. The Credit Agreement also provides, among other things, that (i) the Company will be charged an interest rate on direct borrowings of .25% in excess of the Reference Rate or 2.25% in excess of LIBOR (as defined in the Credit Agreement), and (ii) the Lenders may, in their sole discretion, make loans to the Company in excess of the borrowing formula but within the $85 million limit of the revolving credit facility. The Company is required under the agreement to maintain certain financial covenants relating to consolidated tangible net worth, capital expenditures, maximum pre-tax losses/minimum pre-tax income and minimum interest coverage ratios. The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants at December 30, 2000. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company paid or will pay the following fees: (i) a documentary letter of credit fee of 1/8 of 1.0% on issuance and 1/8 of 1.0% on negotiation; (ii) a standby letter of credit fee of 1.0% per annum plus bank charges; (iii) a commitment fee of $325 thousand; (iv) an unused line fee of .25%; (v) an agency fee of $100 thousand (only for the second and third years of the term of the Credit Agreement); (vi) a collateral management fee of $8,333 per month; and (vii) a field exam fee of $750 per day plus out-of-pocket expenses On December 30, 2000, there were no direct borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement. Letters of credit outstanding were $30,036 and the Company had unused availability, based on outstanding letters of credit and existing collateral, of $21,716. In addition to the unused availability, the Company had $34,683 of cash available to fund its operations. On January 1, 2000, there were no direct borrowings and letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement were $30,093 and the Company had unused availability of $16,497. In addition to the unused availability, the Company had $30,116 of cash available to fund its operations. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings under the Credit Agreement for the years ended December 30, 2000 and January 1, 2000 was 9.4% and 8.7%, respectively. In addition to the financial covenants discussed above, the Credit Agreement contains a number of other covenants, including restrictions on incurring indebtedness and liens, making investments in or purchasing the stock, or all or a substantial part of the assets of another person, selling property and paying cash dividends. Note 10. Long-Term Debt On September 20, 1993, the Company issued $111,851 principal amount of Senior Notes. The Senior Notes could be redeemed at any time prior to maturity, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, at a premium to the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest. The Senior Notes were due on December 31, 1998 and as of January 2, 1999, $104,879 of principal and $14,703 in interest was outstanding and included in liabilities subject to compromise. In fiscal 1999 pursuant to the Plan, the Company converted the Senior Notes and the outstanding interest into equity. (See additional discussion in Note 1. - Financial Reorganization) On April 22, 1998, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-4 in order to facilitate the debt restructuring of the Senior Notes due December 31, 1998. Thereafter, Salant filed amendments to the registration statement on May 10, 1998, May 26, 1998 and August 31, 1998. In consideration of, among other things, the significant additional time required to consummate such transactions and the occurrence of certain events (including, but not limited to, a reduction in the value of certain of Salant's business units) that caused the Company, its noteholders and shareholders to seek an alternative debt restructuring process through chapter 11 proceedings. In connection with the S-4 filing the Company incurred $8,633 relating to the efforts to restructure the debt through the registration statement process, which were charged to expense in the fourth quarter of 1998. Note 11. Significant Customers The Company's principal business is the designing, producing, importing and marketing of men's apparel. The Company currently sells its products to retailers, including department and specialty stores, and for a portion of 1999 made limited sales of certain products to national chains, major discounters and mass volume retailers throughout the United States. The Company also operates 36 retail outlet stores in various parts of the United States. Foreign operations, other than sourcing, are not significant. In 2000 and 1999 approximately 19% of the Company's sales were made to Federated Department Stores, Inc. ("Federated") and approximately 18% of the Company's sales were made to Dillards Corporation ("Dillards"). Also in 2000 and 1999, approximately 17% and 16% of the Company's sales were made to the May Company ("May"), respectively and approximately 13% of the Company's sales were made to Marmaxx Corporation ("Marmaxx") in 2000 and 1999. In 1998 approximately 20% of the Company's sales were made to Sears Roebuck & Company and approximately 14% of the Company's sales were made to Federated. Also in 1998, approximately 11% of the Company's sales were made to Dillards and approximately 10% of the Company's sales were made to Marmaxx. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of sales during 2000, 1999 or 1998. Note 12. Income Taxes The provision for income taxes consists of the following: December 30, January 1, January 2, 2000 2000 1999 Current: Federal $ -- $ (20) $ (109) Foreign 13 265 249 ------ ------- ------- $ 13 $ 245 $ 140 ===== ====== ======= The following is a reconciliation of the income tax/(benefit) at the statutory Federal and State income tax rates to the actual income tax provision: 2000 1999 1998 ---------- -------- -------- Income tax/(benefit), at 34% $ 4,520 $ (647) $(19,256) State tax/(benefit) 665 (96) (2,832) Loss producing no current tax benefit -- 742 22,088 Reversal of valuation allowance (6,060) -- -- Tax refunds from prior years -- (20) (109) Other 875 -- -- Foreign taxes 13 265 249 ---------- ---------- -------- Income tax provision $ 13 $ 245 $ 140 ========= ========= ========= The following are the tax effects of significant items comprising the Company's net deferred tax asset: December 30, January 1, 2000 2000 Deferred tax assets: Reserves not currently deductible $ 10,365 $ 14,233 Operating loss carryforwards 45,872 43,959 Tax credit carryforwards 138 759 Expenses capitalized into inventory 2,299 5,019 Differences between book and tax basis of property 1,241 2,005 ---------- ----------- $ 59,915 $ 65,975 ======== -======== Net deferred tax asset $ 59,915 $ 65,975 Valuation allowance (59,915) (65,975) -------- --------- Net deferred tax asset $ -- $ -- ========== =========== At December 30, 2000, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") for income tax purposes of approximately $117,620, expiring from 2001 to the year 2020, which can be used to offset future taxable income. To the extent any of these NOLs relate to the acquisition of Manhattan Industries in April 1988, their utilization will reduce the remaining balance of approximately $9,700 of intangible assets recorded in connection with the acquisition. The Manhattan Industries acquisition and the 1990 bankruptcy and subsequent consummation have caused an "ownership change" for federal income tax purposes. As a result, the use of any NOLs existing at the date of the ownership change to offset future taxable income is limited by section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Section 382"). The $117,620 of NOLs reflected above is the maximum the Company may use to offset future taxable income. Of the $117,620 of NOLs, $84,200 is subject to annual usage limitations under Section 382 of approximately $7,200. Additionally, by virtue of the consummation of the Plan, a second ownership change under Section 382 has occurred during fiscal 1999. As a result, the utilization of the NOLs and tax credit carryforwards could be subject to additional limitations, which could reduce their use. In addition, at December 30, 2000, the Company had available tax credit carryforwards of approximately $138, which expire between 2001 and 2011. Utilization of these credits may be limited in the same manner as the NOLs, as described above. Note 13. Employee Benefit Plans Pension and Retirement Plans The Company has several defined benefit plans for virtually all full-time salaried employees and certain non-union hourly employees. The Company's funding policy for its plans is to fund the minimum annual contribution required by applicable regulations. The Company also has a non-qualified supplemental retirement and death benefit plan covering certain employees that was terminated during 1998. The funding for this plan was based on premium costs of related insurance contracts. The reconciliation of the funded status of the plans at December 30, 2000 and January 1, 2000 is as follows: 2000 1999 ---------- ----------- Change in Projected Benefit Obligation (PBO) During Measurement Period PBO, November 30 of previous year $ 45,555 $ 51,151 Service Cost 569 760 Interest Cost 3,311 3,290 Actuarial (Gain)/Loss 1,124 (4,890) Plan Curtailment -- (2,000) Benefits Paid (2,809) (2,756) --------- --------- PBO, November 30 $ 47,750 $ 45,555 ========= ========= Change in Plan Assets During the Measurement Period Plan Assets at Fair Value, November 30 of previous year $ 48,205 $ 45,282 Actual Return on Plan Assets 795 4,560 Employer Contribution 1,753 1,119 Benefits Paid (2,809) (2,756) --------- ---------- Plan Assets at Fair Value, November 30 $ 47,944 $ 48,205 ========= ========= The reconciliation of the Prepaid/(Accrued) plans at December 30, 2000 and January 1, 2000 is as follows: 2000 1999 ----- ---- Reconciliation of Prepaid/(Accrued) Funded Status of the Plan $ 195 $ 2,650 Unrecognized Net (Gain)/Loss 4,400 155 Unrecognized Prior Service Cost (397) (456) Unrecognized Net Transition (Asset)/Obligation 151 178 ---------- ----------- Net Amount Recognized $ 4,349 $ 2,527 ======== ========= Prepaid Benefit Cost $ 3,123 $ 2,227 Accrued Benefit Liability (3,108) (2,501) Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income 4,334 2,801 --------- ---------- Net Amount Recognized $ 4,349 $ 2,527 ======== ========= Components of Net Periodic Benefit Cost for Fiscal Year

2000 1999 1998 1998 Qualified Qualified Non- Qualified Plans Plans Qualified Plans Plan Discount rate 7.5% 7.5% 6.75% 6.75% Rate of increase in compensation levels 5.0% 5.0% N/A 5.0% Expected long-term rate of return on assets 8.5% 8.5% 8.5% 8.5%
Assets of the Company's qualified plans are invested in directed trusts. Assets in the directed trusts are invested in common and preferred stocks, corporate bonds, money market funds and U.S. government obligations. The nonqualified supplemental plan assets consisted of the cash surrender value of certain insurance contracts. The Company also contributes to certain union retirement and insurance funds established to provide retirement benefits and group life, health and accident insurance for eligible employees. The total cost of these contributions was $2,330, $3,985 and $4,597 in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The actuarial present value of accumulated plan benefits and net assets available for benefits for employees in the union administered plans are not determinable from information available to the Company. Long Term Savings and Investment Plan Salant sponsors the Long Term Savings and Investment Plan, under which eligible salaried employees may contribute up to 15% of their annual compensation, subject to certain limitations, to a money market mutual fund, a fixed income fund, the Company's common stock (in 1999 and 1998) and/or selected mutual funds. Salant contributes a minimum matching amount of 20% of the first 6% of a participant's annual compensation and may contribute an additional discretionary amount in cash or in the Company's common stock. In 2000, 1999 and 1998 Salant's aggregate contributions to the Long Term Savings and Investment Plan amounted to $111, $140 and $198, respectively. Note 14. Stock Options and Shareholder Rights Pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date, all existing stock options for the Old Common Stock were cancelled and the Company established, in accordance with the description set forth in the Plan, the Salant Corporation 1999 Stock Award and Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan"). The Plan provides that Salant will reserve 10% of the outstanding New Common Stock, on a fully diluted basis, as of the Effective Date, in order to create new employee stock and stock option plans for the benefit of the members of management and the other employees of Salant. In addition, the Plan provides that, on the Effective Date, a management stock option plan will be authorized pursuant to which options to acquire a certain percentage of such 10% reserve will be granted to (i) the directors of Salant and (ii) those members of management of Salant selected by executive management and approved by the non-management members of the board of directors of Salant. The Plan also provides that the decision to grant any additional stock options from the balance of the 10% reserve referred to above, and the administration of the stock plans, will be at the discretion of the non-management members of the board of directors of Salant. The following table summarizes stock option transactions during 1998, 1999 and 2000:

The 895,609 of options shown in the above table as "surrendered or canceled" during 1999 reflect 890,777 of options that were issued at $5.875 and repriced to $4.125 all within fiscal 1999. The following tables summarize information about outstanding stock options as of December 30, 2000 and January 1, 2000:

In summary, as of December 30, 2000, there were 1,111,111 shares of Common Stock reserved for the exercise of stock options and 297,167 shares of Common Stock reserved for future grants of stock options or awards. All stock options are granted at fair market value of the Common Stock at the grant date. The weighted average fair value of the stock options granted during 2000 and 1999 was $2.64 and $4.99, respectively. The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes multiple option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively: risk-free interest rate of 6.00%, 6.00% and 5.16%; expected dividend yield of 0%, for all years; expected life of 5.25, 5.75 years and 4.46 years; and expected volatility of 98%, 316%, and 106%. The outstanding stock options at December 30, 2000 have a weighted average contractual life of 8.8 years. The Company accounts for the stock option plans in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, under which no compensation cost is recognized for stock option awards. Had compensation cost been determined consistent with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS 123), the Company's pro forma net income/(loss) for 2000, 1999 and 1998 would have been $12,338, $16,687 and ($74,069), respectively. The Company's pro-forma net income per-share for fiscal 2000 would have been $1.25. The Company's pro forma net income/(loss) per share based upon the New Common Stock for 1999 and 1998 would have been $1.67 and ($7.41), respectively. Because the SFAS 123 method of accounting has not been applied to options granted prior to 1995, the resulting pro forma compensation cost may not be representative of that to be expected in future years. Note 15.

Commitments and Contingencies (a) Lease Commitments The Company conducts a portion of its operations in premises occupied under leases expiring at various dates through 2013. Certain of the leases contain renewal options. Rental payments under certain leases may be adjusted for increases in taxes and operating expenses above specified amounts. In addition, certain of the leases for outlet stores contain provisions for additional rent based upon sales. In 2000, 1999 and 1998, rental expense was $3,891, $5,144 and $7,008, respectively. As of December 30, 2000, future minimum rental payments under noncancelable operating leases (exclusive of renewal options, percentage rentals, and adjustments for property taxes and operating expenses) were as follows: Fiscal Year 2001 $ 4,898 2002 4,754 2003 4,813 2004 4,591 2005 3,846 Thereafter 22,773 Total (Not reduced by minimum $ 45,675 sublease rentals of $18,432) (b) Employment Agreements The Company has employment agreements with certain executives, which provide for the payment of compensation aggregating approximately $1,175 in 2001. In addition, such employment agreements provide for incentive compensation based on various performance criteria. Note 17. Discontinued Operations In December 1998, the Company discontinued the operations of the Children's Group, which produced and marketed children's blanket sleepers primarily using a number of well-known licensed characters created by, among others, DISNEY and WARNER BROTHERS. The Children's Group also marketed pajamas under the DR. DENTON and OSHKOSH B'GOSH trademarks, and sleepwear and underwear under the JOE BOXER trademark. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company recorded income of $569 related to better than anticipated recovery on the sale of assets (primarily real estate holdings) related to the Children's business. At the end of fiscal 2000, $550 remained in the reserve of which approximately $350 was for severance and the remaining balance related to the disposal of assets and other costs. For fiscal 1999, the Company recognized a charge of $1,955 for additional expenses incurred during the phase-out period and additional expenses needed to dispose of the assets related to the Children's business. At the end of Fiscal 1999, $941 remained in the reserve of which approximately $300 was for severance and the remaining balance related to the disposal of assets. For Fiscal 1998, the Company recognized a charge of $15,877 reflecting the discontinuance of the Children's Group. Of the $15,877, $10,163 related to the operations prior to the date the decision was made to discontinue the business and $5,724 represented estimated future losses during the phase-out period. The $5,724 was comprised of (i) write-off of assets of $2,929, (ii) estimated loss from operations of $1,597, (iii) severance of $1,450 and (iv) royalty and lease payments of $1,498, offset by $1,750 for the sale of the Dr. Denton trademark. No income tax benefits have been allocated to the division. Pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement dated January 14, 1999, the Company sold all of its right, title and interest in, certain assets (Dr. Denton trademark, selected inventory and machinery and equipment) of the Children's Group. Accounts receivable, prepaids, accounts payable and accrued liabilities will be collected or paid through the normal course of business. Property, plant and equipment was written down to its estimated net realizable value and the Company has disposed of these assets. The Children's division results for 2000, 1999 and 1998 are summarized as follows (no income tax benefits have been allocated to the division): 2000 1999 1998 ---- ---- ---- Net Sales $ -- $ 5,493 $ 42,766 ========= ========= ========== Net Income/(Loss) from Operations $ 569 $ (1,955) $ (10,163) ====== ======== ========= Net (liabilities)/assets of discontinued operations in the 2000 and 1999 consolidated balance sheets include: 2000 1999 ---- ---- Prepaids and other $ 30 $ 24 Assets held for Sale -- 86 -------- -------- Assets $ 30 $ 110 ------ ------ Accounts payable $ -- $ 193 Accrued liabilities 224 285 Reserve for future phase-out losses 550 941 ------- -------- Liabilities $ 774 $ 1,419 ------ -------- Net (Liabilities)/Assets $ (744) $ (1,309) ====== ======== Note 18.

Legal Proceedings The Company is a defendant in several legal actions. In the opinion of the Company's management, based upon the advice of the respective attorneys handling such cases, such actions are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow. In addition, the Company notes the following legal proceedings. 1. Bankruptcy Case. On the Filing Date, Salant filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. The Company filed its Plan on the Filing Date and the Plan was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on April 16, 1999. The Plan was consummated on the Effective Date. The 1998 Case is currently pending under the caption In re Salant Corporation, Chapter 11 Case No. 98-10107 (CB). All pre-Filing Date non-disputed and allowed claims against Salant have been or will be satisfied pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Salant has filed, and expects to continue to file, objections to all disputed pre-Filing Date claims asserted against Salant in the 1998 Case. 2. Declaratory Judgement Action. The Company is a defendant in a declaratory judgment action, captioned Hartford Fire Insurance Company v. Salant Corporation, Index No. 60233/98, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York (the "Hartford Action"). The Company's insurers seek a declaratory judgment that the claims asserted against the Company in a lawsuit captioned Maria Delores Rodriguez-Olvera, et al. v. Salant Corp., et al., Case No. 97-07-14605-CV, in the 365th Judicial District Court of Maverick County, Texas (the "Rodriguez-Olvera Action") are not covered under the policies that the insurers had issued. The Company's insurers nevertheless provided a defense to the Company in the Rodriguez-Olvera Action and paid $30 million to settle the case without prejudice to their positions in the Hartford Action. Currently, there are discussions being held with a view to reaching an agreement for the settlement of the Hartford Action; if the settlement proposal is achieved as contemplated, management believes there would be no material impact on the Company's financial position or the results of operations. Pending such a settlement of this action, Salant's insurers have not withdrawn their reservation of rights, and the possibility remains that one or more of such insurers will seek recourse against Salant.
