FINANCIAL REVIEW
----------------
The following discussion is a summary of the key factors management
considers necessary in reviewing the Company's results of operations,
liquidity, capital resources and operating segment results. The amounts and
disclosures included in management's discussion and analysis of financial
condition and results of operations, unless otherwise indicated, are
presented on a continuing operations basis. This discussion should be read
in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes.

The Company's internal reporting utilizes net earnings, earnings per share
and gross profit excluding the facilities realignment costs discussed below.
Management evaluates each of its business units using these measures in
order to isolate the results of ongoing operations by excluding the charge,
which was infrequent and unusual. Therefore, throughout management's
discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations,
there will be a discussion of operating results both including and excluding
the facilities realignment costs. The amounts that exclude the facilities
realignment costs are non-GAAP measures and may not be comparable to
measures used by other entities.

OPERATING RESULTS
-----------------

On December 1, 2005, the Company concluded to restate herein its previously
issued consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal years ended
January 29, 2005 and January 31, 2004, consolidated statement of cash flows
for the fiscal years ended January 29, 2005 and January 31, 2004, and
consolidated balance sheet at January 29, 2005 and January 31, 2004. This
restatement corrects accounting errors detailed below. Additionally, all
affected amounts described in Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations have been restated.

Accrual of Freight, Duty and Agents' Commission Costs

Prior to the completion of the financial statements for the three and nine
months ended October 29, 2005, the Company determined that it incorrectly
accounted for freight, duty and agents' commission costs related to imports
of goods at a regional accounting center which resulted in the
understatement of accounts payable and cost of products sold. The Company
identified this issue after the regional accounting center was centralized
into the Company's financial services operations in St. Louis and subsequent
review of accounting processes.

After discovering the error, the Company corrected the accounting processes
during the third quarter of 2005 so that there was an appropriate cutoff at
October 29, 2005. Additionally, the Company reviewed the accruals for
freight, duty and agents' commission costs at prior interim and year-end
reporting dates. This review has been completed for the periods necessary to
correctly present all of the periods contained in these financial statements
on a restated basis.

The accounting error caused an understatement of cost of products sold in
prior periods and a cumulative overstatement of earnings before income taxes
of $7.9 ($5.0 after tax) as of January 29, 2005. The Company has determined
that the accounting error overstated earnings before income taxes for the
2004 fiscal year ended January 29, 2005 by $6.0 ($3.8 after tax) and for the
2003 fiscal year ended January 31, 2004 by $4.7 ($2.9 after tax). The
accounting error understated earnings before income taxes for periods prior
to fiscal year 2003, cumulatively, by $2.7 ($1.7 after tax). As discussed
below, this amount was recorded in the first quarter of the 2003 fiscal
year.

Death Benefits Program

In 2004 the Company determined that it had underaccrued for liabilities
related to a Death Benefit Program that covers three present and nine former
senior executives. This program was initiated in the early 1980's and is
being phased out with no new participants since prior to 2000. Beginning in
2004, the Company began to record an annual charge in the amount necessary
to appropriately state expense in each period. The Company did not record
the past underaccrual at January 31, 2004 as it concluded that it was
immaterial.

                (Dollars in Millions, except per share data)


The accounting error resulted in an understatement of selling, general and
administrative expenses and an overstatement of earnings before income taxes
for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004 of $0.3 ($0.2 after tax). The
accounting error resulted in a cumulative understatement of selling, general
and administrative expenses and a cumulative overstatement of earnings
before income taxes for periods prior to fiscal year 2003 of $3.6 ($2.3
after tax). Prior to the 2003 fiscal year, deferred income taxes and other
on the Company's balance sheet was understated by $3.6 ($2.3 after tax). As
discussed below, these amounts were recorded in the first quarter of the
2003 fiscal year.

Amounts for the Years Prior to 2003

The Company determined that the underaccruals of freight, duty and agents'
commission costs and the accrued death benefit liability related to periods
prior to fiscal year 2003 were not material to the fiscal year 2003, 2002 or
prior years' financial statements. As such, the Company recorded the
cumulative amount for periods prior to fiscal year 2003 related to the
freight, duty and agents' commission costs and the death benefit program in
the first quarter of the 2003 fiscal year. These individual and combined
amounts and the related increase (decrease) to earnings are as follows:

Operating Results
The apparel industry has experienced deflation for many years. As a result,
the Company's sales growth has come from acquisitions and investment in new
brands and initiatives. Earnings growth has come from increased sales and
control over costs. Sales for the year ended January 29, 2005 were $2,555.7,
up $209.2 or 8.9% from $2,346.5 in 2003. Sales increases were primarily due
to the acquisition of Phat Fashions, LLC and Phat Licensing, LLC (together
referred to as Phat) on February 3, 2004 of $73.3 for the year and growth in
the base business of $135.9 for the year largely as a result of key new
brands and marketing initiatives put in place during the last nine months of
2003, which included the following new brands:

     o    Calvin Klein(R) for women's sportswear
     o    IZOD(R) for women's sportswear
     o    XOXO(R) for junior's sportswear and dresses
     o    Liz Claiborne(R) for women's dresses and suits
     o    Def Jam University(TM) for men's and women's sportswear

The increase in sales in 2004 from the above items of $170.9 and increased
sales in the base business of $36.4 was partially offset by the planned
elimination of certain brands and programs from the Company's broad and
diversified portfolio due to volume levels, pricing and/or margins that are
no longer acceptable. The planned elimination of certain brands and programs
resulted in a decrease in sales of $71.4.

The Company's gross margin percentage increased to 21.2% in 2004 from 21.0%
in 2003 due to the acquisition of Phat partially offset by decreases in the
gross margin percent in the Women's Sportswear and Other Soft Goods
segments. The decrease in the gross margin percent in the Women's Sportswear
segment was due to a weak and highly promotional women's sportswear market,
along with some fashion missteps and merchandising assortment issues. These
factors resulted in providing a higher level of markdown assistance to the
retailers, which negatively impacted the gross margin percent. In addition,
there was a higher level of off-priced sales related to early Spring 2005
merchandise. The decrease in gross margin at the Other Soft Goods segment
was due to sourcing and logistical execution difficulties resulting in
additional markdowns and inventory reserves.

SG&A as a percent of sales increased to 15.8% in 2004 from 15.2% in 2003 due
to the acquisition of Phat and additional spending on key new brands and
marketing initiatives. Lower than anticipated sales associated with the new
brands and marketing initiatives also had a negative impact on SG&A as a
percent of sales.

Many of these new brands were obtained through licensing agreements, which
commit the Company to certain minimum guaranteed royalty payments during the
term of the license. The investments made in these key new brands and
marketing initiatives are expected to more favorably impact net earnings in
2005 due to the expected growth in sales, improvement in the women's
sportswear market and reduction in markdown assistance for the retailers.

The Company continues to have an active acquisition program with the
acquisition of Phat Fashions, LLC and Phat Licensing, LLC in early 2004
being the latest business to join Kellwood's portfolio of brands and
businesses. Phat is part of the Men's Sportswear segment. The Company
exercised an option to buyout the license for Phat Farm(R) from the menswear
licensee in February 2004, which is also part of the Men's Sportswear
segment.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS. On October 30, 2003 the Company finalized an
agreement to sell their Hosiery operations. As such, the operations of the
Hosiery business are accounted for as discontinued operations. The sale of
the entire Hosiery operations closed in November 2003. Prior to being
classified as discontinued, the Hosiery operations were included in the
Men's Sportswear segment. See financial statement Note 4.

During the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company decided to discontinue their
True Beauty by Emme(R) (True Beauty) operations. This included the
termination of the related license agreement. As such, the operations of
True Beauty ceased in the fourth quarter of 2003 and have been accounted for
as discontinued operations. Prior to being classified as discontinued, True
Beauty was included in the Women's Sportswear segment. See financial
statement Note 4.

<FN>
(1) Operating earnings before amortization is a non-GAAP measure that
differs from operating earnings in that it excludes the amortization of
intangibles. Operating earnings before amortization should not be considered
as an alternative to operating earnings. Operating earnings before
amortization is the primary measure used by management to evaluate the
Company's performance as well as the performance of the Company's business
units and segments. Management believes the comparison of operating earnings
before amortization between periods is useful in showing the interaction of
changes in gross profit and SG&A without inclusion of the amortization of
intangibles, the change in which is explained elsewhere. The subtotal of
operating earnings before amortization may not be comparable to any
similarly titled measure used by another company.

SALES for 2004 were $2,555.7, increasing $209.2 or 8.9% versus last year.
The increase in sales was due to the acquisition of Phat on February 3, 2004
($73.3), sales of key new brands and marketing initiatives of $170.9 and
increased sales in the base business of $36.4 partially offset by
discontinued brands and programs. The discontinued brands and programs
resulted in a decrease of sales of $71.4. The provision for discounts,
returns and allowances, which is accounted for as a reduction of sales,
increased $19.9 in 2004 due to the highly promotional women's sportswear
market along with some fashion missteps and merchandising assortment issues.
There was also a larger proportion of sales to customers who receive higher
allowances, and the acquisition of Phat occurred at the beginning of 2004.
These factors resulted in providing a higher level of allowances to the
retailers.

GROSS PROFIT for 2004 was $542.0 or 21.2% of sales increasing $49.0 or 0.2%
of sales versus $493.0 or 21.0% of sales reported in 2003. The improvement
in the Company's gross margin rate in 2004 resulted from the acquisition of
Phat partially offset by decreases in the gross margin percent in the
Women's Sportswear and Other Soft Goods segments. The decrease in the gross
margin percent in the Women's Sportswear segment was due to the increased
provision for discounts, returns and allowances as discussed in the previous
paragraph, as well as a higher level of off-priced sales related to early
Spring 2005 merchandise. The decrease in gross margin at the Other Soft
Goods segment was due to sourcing and logistical execution difficulties
resulting in additional markdowns and inventory reserves.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES (SG&A) increased $47.6 or 13.3%
to $404.2 in 2004 compared to $356.6 in 2003. Approximately one half of the
increase is due to the acquisition of Phat. The remaining increase is due to
increased spending related to key new brands and marketing initiatives
partially offset by decreases in SG&A related to the base business.

AMORTIZATION of intangible assets for 2004 increased to $13.4 from $9.5 in
2003 as a result of the amortization of identified intangible assets related
to Phat. Identified intangible assets are amortized over their estimated
economic useful lives.

INTEREST EXPENSE, NET increased $1.2 from 2003 primarily due to the issuance
of the convertible debentures during the second quarter of 2004.

INCOME TAXES. The Company's effective tax rate for 2004 was 34.1%. This rate
is consistent with the full-year 2003 effective tax rate. The effective tax
rate was less than the U.S. statutory rate due to lower tax rates on
undistributed foreign earnings considered to be permanently reinvested
abroad.

WEIGHTED AVERAGE DILUTED SHARES outstanding increased due to option
exercises throughout the year.

(1) Operating earnings before amortization and realignment costs is a
non-GAAP measure that differs from operating earnings in that it excludes
realignment costs and amortization of intangibles. Operating earnings before
amortization and realignment costs should not be considered as an
alternative to operating earnings. Operating earnings before amortization
and realignment costs is the primary measure used by management to evaluate
the Company's performance as well as the performance of the Company's
business units and segments. Management believes the comparison of operating
earnings before amortization and realignment costs between periods is useful
in showing the interaction of changes in gross profit and SG&A without
inclusion of the facilities realignment charges and amortization of
intangibles, the changes in which are explained elsewhere. The subtotal of
operating earnings before amortization and realignment costs may not be
comparable to any similarly titled measure used by another company.

SALES for 2003 were $2,346.5, increasing $179.9 or 8.3% versus last year.
The increase in sales was primarily driven by the acquisitions of Gerber on
June 25, 2002 and Briggs on February 4, 2003 (together approximately $247.6)
and increased sales in the Men's Sportswear segment, partially offset by
discontinued brands and programs and sales declines to existing customers in
the Women's Sportswear and Other Soft Goods segments. The provision for
discounts, returns and allowances, which is accounted for as a reduction of
sales, increased to $149.9 in 2003 from $116.5 in 2002 due to activity
associated with the acquisition of Briggs at the beginning of 2003 and
Gerber in June 2002, a larger proportion of the Company's 2003 sales being
to customers who receive higher allowances and a larger proportion of the
Company's 2003 sales being branded merchandise. The level of allowances for
branded merchandise is higher than for the private label sales they
displaced.

GROSS PROFIT for 2003 was $493.0 or 21.0% of sales increasing $60.0 or 1.0%
of sales versus $433.0 or 20.0% of sales reported in 2002. Included in gross
profit for 2002 is $2.9 in facilities realignment costs. Excluding
facilities realignment costs, gross profit for 2003 increased $57.1 or 0.9%
of sales. The improvement in the Company's gross margin rate in 2003
resulted from cost reductions due to reductions in sales of lower-margin
business, expansion of sourcing through the Company's newly established
trading company, having less surplus and obsolete inventory, and
efficiencies resulting from more effective utilization of distribution
facilities.

                    -------------------------------------
                (Dollars in Millions, except per share data)


SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES (SG&A) increased $31.5 or 9.7%
to $356.6 in 2003 compared to $325.1 in 2002. Approximately 70% of the
increase is due to the acquisitions of Briggs and Gerber. The remaining
increase is due to increased spending related to key new brands and
marketing initiatives partially offset by decreases in SG&A related to the
base business.

AMORTIZATION of intangible assets for 2003 increased to $9.5 from $5.8 in
2002 as a result of the amortization of identified intangible assets related
to Briggs and Gerber. Identified intangible assets are amortized over their
estimated economic useful lives.

INTEREST EXPENSE, NET decreased $1.1 from 2002 primarily due to a
combination of lower average debt balances and lower rates.

OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE, NET changed $3.8 to ($2.4) in 2003 from $1.4 in
2002. The increase is primarily due to a $3.0 gain resulting from the
acquisition breakup fee related to Kasper A.S.L., Limited (Kasper).

INCOME TAXES. The Company's effective tax rate for 2003 was 34.1%. This rate
is slightly lower than the full-year 2002 effective tax rate. The effective
tax rate was less than the U.S. statutory rate due to lower tax rates on
undistributed foreign earnings considered to be permanently reinvested
abroad.

WEIGHTED AVERAGE DILUTED SHARES outstanding increased due to the shares
issued in conjunction with the acquisitions of Gerber and Briggs as well as
the increased price of Kellwood common stock, which drove higher option
exercises and increased the dilution from unexercised options.

FACILITIES REALIGNMENT COSTS. In 2002 the Company decided to implement
realignment actions, including the closing of certain domestic warehousing
and Latin American production facilities and the discontinuance of a
licensing agreement. The realignments include the closing of five warehouse
operations and six manufacturing facilities and were anticipated to result
in a reduction of employment by approximately 1,900, primarily production
and warehousing personnel. These actions impacted fiscal 2002 earnings by
$15.0 before tax (approximately $9.7 after tax, or $0.39 per share). These
costs included $2.9 ($0.7 for Women's Sportswear, $0.3 for Men's Sportswear
and $1.9 for Other Soft Goods) recorded in cost of products sold and $12.1
($5.9 for Women's Sportswear, $1.5 for Men's Sportswear and $4.7 for Other
Soft Goods) recorded as a provision for realignment.

Through January 29, 2005 these realignment actions resulted in the Company
closing five warehouse operations and four manufacturing facilities,
reducing employment and terminating a license agreement. These costs related
to these actions include employee severance, vacant facilities costs, and
other cash realignment costs including minimum royalties and customer
markdowns on a discontinued license agreement. The Company completed the
realignment actions during the second quarter of 2004. See financial
statement Note 5.

WOMEN'S SPORTSWEAR. Sales of Women's Sportswear increased $88.9 (6.3%) in
2004 to $1,495.2. The sales increase was primarily due to additional sales
of $162.5 from key new brands and marketing initiatives launched in 2003
including Calvin Klein(R), IZOD(R), XOXO(R) and Lucy Pereda(TM) sportswear
and Liz Claiborne(R) dresses and suits. This increase was partially offset
by the planned elimination of certain low margin business and a decline in
the base business (primarily the dress category).

Women's Sportswear segment earnings for 2004 were $100.2 or 6.7% of net
sales, down $10.5 or 9.5% from last year. The primary reasons for the
decrease in segment earnings during 2004 were increased markdowns and an
increase in SG&A expense as a result of spending on key new brands and
marketing initiatives.

Sales of Women's Sportswear increased $92.9 or 7.1% in 2003 to $1,406.3. The
sales increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Briggs (which had
sales of $194.0 for 2003), sales from new brands launched earlier in the
year and growth from the core popular-to-moderately priced brands, partially
offset by sales decreases in low margin private label merchandise and better
to bridge brands sold to specialty and department stores.

Women's Sportswear segment earnings for 2003 were $110.7 or 7.9% of net
sales, up $8.9 from last year and improved as a percent of sales by 0.2%.
The primary reason for the increase in segment earnings during 2003 was the
acquisition of Briggs, partially offset by decreased earnings in the other
Women's Sportswear business units. The decrease in the other Women's
Sportswear business units was due to lower sales volume and increased costs
for new brands and initiatives.

MEN'S SPORTSWEAR. Sales of Men's Sportswear increased $143.8 or 29.0% in
2004 to $639.0. The acquisition of Phat provided $73.3 of sales for 2004 and
increases in both the branded and private label business sales, including
sales from the key new brands and marketing initiatives, were $70.5 for
2004.

Segment earnings for 2004 were $62.7, up $16.5 from last year. The
improvement in earnings came from higher sales volume and the acquisition of
Phat ($8.1 for 2004) partially offset by increased SG&A spending attendant
with the growth in the base business.

Sales of Men's Sportswear increased $99.7 or 25.2% in 2003 to $495.2. The
increase in sales for 2003 was due to several new brands and marketing
initiatives, including Claiborne(R) and Dockers(R) dress shirts, Def Jam
University(TM) and Run Athletics(TM) activewear, and increased sales in the
private label bottoms business.

Segment earnings for 2003 were $46.2, up $10.0 from last year. The
improvement in earnings came from higher sales volume and gross margin
improvement resulting from better utilization of manufacturing capacity and
improved plant efficiency.

OTHER SOFT GOODS. Sales of Other Soft Goods decreased $23.5 or 5.3% in 2004
to $421.5 primarily due to a decrease in Intimate Apparel resulting from a
lack of newness and fashion in the product offerings, sourcing and
logistical execution difficulties and our customers doing more direct
sourcing.

Segment earnings for 2004 were $20.9 down $5.9 from last year. The decrease
in segment earnings was primarily due to the difficulties at Intimate
Apparel as described above partially offset by an increase in gross margin
percentage resulting from fixed cost absorption and the closing of one
distribution center at Gerber and improvement in bad debt expense.

Sales of Other Soft Goods decreased $12.7 or 2.8% in 2003 to $445.0
primarily due to sales declines at Intimate Apparel and American Recreation
Products related to weak customer demand and softness in the camping
industry partially offset by the Gerber acquisition.

Segment earnings for 2003, including the facilities realignment costs, were
$26.8 up $10.8 from last year. Excluding Gerber, segment earnings were
$12.5, up $7.8 from the prior year. The Company planned for a challenging
year in 2003 and took action to improve gross margins and lower SG&A
spending as well as improve working capital management and return on
capital. As a result of facility consolidations and moving the majority of
sourcing to contractors in the Far East, margins have improved, SG&A
spending has been reduced, and segment earnings have increased. In addition,
facility realignment costs of $1.9 included in 2002 segment earnings did not
recur in 2003.

GENERAL CORPORATE. General corporate expenses decreased $1.4 to $45.9 in
2004 from $47.3 in 2003 primarily as a result of the recording of the Death
Benefits Accrual in 2003 described in financial statement Note 2 to the
financial statements.

General corporate expenses increased $1.3 to $47.3 in 2003 from $46.0 in
2002 primarily as a result of the recording of the Death Benefits Accrual in
2003 described in financial statement Note 2 to the financial statements.

                    -------------------------------------
                (Dollars in Millions, except per share data)

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
------------------------------------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires that management make certain
estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results will differ from those
estimates and assumptions and the differences may be material. Significant
accounting policies, estimates and judgments which management believes are
the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating the reported
financial results are discussed below.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE - RESERVES FOR ALLOWANCES
---------------------------------------------
Accounts receivable are recorded net of allowances for bad debts as well as
existing and expected future chargebacks from customers. It is the nature of
the apparel and soft goods industry that suppliers like the Company face
significant pressure from customers in the retail industry to provide
allowances to compensate for customer margin shortfalls. This pressure often
takes the form of customers requiring the Company to provide price
concessions on prior shipments as a prerequisite for obtaining future
orders. Pressure for these concessions is largely determined by overall
retail sales performance and, more specifically, the performance of the
Company's products at retail. To the extent the Company's customers have
more of the Company's goods on hand at the end of the season, there will be
greater pressure for the Company to grant markdown concessions on prior
shipments. The Company's accounts receivable balances are reported net of
expected allowances for these matters based on the historical level of
concessions required and the Company's estimates of the level of markdowns
and allowances that will be required in the coming season in order to
collect the receivables. The Company evaluates the allowance balances on a
continuing basis and adjusts them as necessary to reflect changes in
anticipated allowance activity.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE - ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
-----------------------------------------------------
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable for
estimated losses resulting from customers that are unable to meet their
financial obligations. Estimation of the allowance for doubtful accounts by
the Company involves consideration of the financial condition of specific
customers as well as general estimates of future collectibility based on
historical experience and expected future trends. The estimation of these
factors involves significant judgment. In addition, actual collection
experience, and thus bad debt expense, can be significantly impacted by the
financial difficulties of as few as one customer.

INVENTORY VALUATION
-------------------
Inventories are recorded at cost. Inventory values are reduced to net
realizable value when there are factors indicating that certain inventories
will not be sold on terms sufficient to recover their cost. The Company's
products can be classified into two types: replenishment and non-replenishment.
Replenishment items are those basics (bras, dress shirts, infant apparel, etc.)
that are not highly seasonal or dependent on fashion trends. The same products
are sold by retailers 12 months a year, and styles evolve slowly. Retailers
generally replenish their stocks of these items as they are sold. Only a
relatively small portion of the Company's business involves replenishment items.

The majority of the Company's products consist of items that are non-
replenishment as a result of being highly tied to a season or fashion look.
These products are economically "perishable". The value of this seasonal
merchandise might be sufficient for the Company to generate a profit over
its cost at the beginning of its season, but by the end of its season a few
months later the same inventory might be salable only at less than cost. For
these products, the selling season generally ranges from three to six months.
The value may rise again the following year when the season in which the
goods sell approaches - or it may not, depending on the level of prior year
merchandise on the market and on year-to-year fashion changes.

While some "prior year" merchandise is sold by the Company through its own
outlet stores, the majority of out-of-season inventories must be sold to off-
price retailers and other customers who serve a customer base that will purchase
prior year fashions. The amount, if any, that these customers will pay for
prior year fashions is determined by the desirability of the inventory itself
as well as the general level of prior year goods available to these customers.
The assessment of inventory value, as a result, is highly subjective and
requires an assessment of the seasonality of the inventory, its future
desirability, and future price levels in the "off-price" sector.

Many of the Company's products are purchased for and sold to specific
customers' orders. Others are purchased in anticipation of selling them to a
specific customer. The loss of a major customer, whether due to the
customer's financial difficulty or other reasons, could have a significant
negative impact on the value of the inventory expected to be sold to that
customer. This negative impact can also extend to purchase obligations for
goods that have not yet been received. These obligations involve product to
be received into inventory over the next one to six months.

MARKET VALUE ASSESSMENTS OF GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS - TIMING AND
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
AMOUNT OF FUTURE IMPAIRMENT CHARGES
-----------------------------------
Before the implementation of SFAS No. 142, the values of goodwill and
intangible assets were written off over the period expected to be benefited
through regular amortization charges. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and
indefinite-lived intangible assets will no longer be written off through
periodic charges to the income statement over the defined period. Future
impairment charges may be required if the value of the reporting unit
becomes less than its book value. The determination of the fair value of the
reporting units is highly subjective, as it is determined largely by
projections of future profitability and cash flows. This evaluation utilizes
discounted cash flow analysis and analyses of historical and forecasted
operating results of the Company's reporting units. The fair value of the
reporting unit as a whole is compared to the book value of the reporting
unit (including goodwill). If a deficiency exists, impairment will be
calculated. Impairment is measured as the difference between the fair value
of the goodwill and its carrying amount. The fair value of goodwill is the
difference between the fair value of the reporting unit as a whole and the
fair value of the reporting unit's individual assets and liabilities. The
annual impairment testing is performed in the fourth quarter, and additional
testing would be necessary if a triggering event were to occur in an interim
period.

Identifiable intangible assets include trademarks, customer base and license
agreements, which are being amortized over their useful lives ranging from 2
to 20 years (weighted average life of 19 years). Impairment testing of these
would occur if and when a triggering event occurs.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
-----------------------------
In October 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the Act) was signed
into law. The Act contains a provision that allows a one-time 85% dividends
received deduction on the repatriation of cash invested outside the U.S.
above a defined base. The Company is evaluating this provision of the Act
and analyzing the provisions as they apply to the Company. Until these items
are analyzed and the Company develops a defined plan for the use of the
funds, it is not possible to determine the amount of dividends the Company
will repatriate to the U.S. or the impact on income taxes or the Company's
effective tax rate.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based
Payment. This statement is effective for all interim and annual reporting
periods beginning after June 15, 2005. SFAS 123R sets accounting
requirements for "share-based" compensation to employees, requires companies
to recognize in the income statement the grant-date fair value of stock
options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees and
disallows the use of the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock
compensation. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this
statement will have on the results of operations. The Company plans to adopt
this statement under the modified prospective transition method, which will
require the recording of stock option expense in the statement of earnings
beginning on July 31, 2005, the first day of the third quarter of 2005. The
Company believes the adoption of this statement will result in stock option
expense of approximately $3.0 in the second half of 2005. The Company
currently accounts for stock-based compensation under Accounting Principles
Board (APB) Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and
related interpretations, and has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of
SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and
Disclosure (see financial statement Note 1).

         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

                    AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
                    -------------------------------------
                (Dollars in Millions, except per share data)


FINANCIAL CONDITION
-------------------
Cash flow from operations is the Company's primary source of funds to
finance operating needs, capital expenditures, debt service and
acquisitions. The Company uses financial leverage to minimize the overall
cost of capital and maintain adequate operating and financial flexibility.
Management monitors leverage through its debt-to-capital ratio (defined as
total debt divided by the sum of total debt and total shareowners' equity,
or total capital). As of January 29, 2005, the Company's debt-to-capital
ratio was 39.7%, up 9.7% from January 31, 2004 due to the privately placed
convertible debt discussed below.

NET CASH PROVIDED BY OPERATING ACTIVITIES was $61.1 for 2004 compared to
$151.6 for 2003. This $90.5 decrease was primarily due to the change in
working capital discussed below.

Working Capital
Working capital management is monitored primarily by analysis of the
Company's investment in accounts receivable and inventories and by the
amount of accounts payable and accrued expenses. The Company's working
capital is significantly influenced by sales patterns, which are highly
seasonal. Inventories, accounts payable and accrued expenses are highly
dependent upon sales levels and order lead times. Receivable levels are
dependent upon recent months' sales and customer payment experience.

The year-to-year changes in the major components of working capital are
discussed below:

     o    Accounts receivable increased $60.2 to $381.7 at January 29, 2005
          from $321.5 at January 31, 2004 due to the acquisition of Phat
          ($11.8) and increased sales.

     o    Inventories increased $15.7 to $331.6 at January 29, 2005 from
          $315.9 at January 31, 2004. Days supply now stands at 58.8 days
          compared to 53.3 days at January 31, 2004. The increase in
          inventory levels relates primarily to the acquisition of Phat and
          the increase in inventory days supply primarily due to early
          receipts of inventory in anticipation of January port and customs
          congestion.

     o    Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased $11.4 to $313.5 at
          January 29, 2005 from $302.1 at January 31, 2004 as a result of
          timing of inventory receipts and related payments.

NET CASH USED IN INVESTING ACTIVITIES increased to $169.7 for 2004 from
$148.5 for 2003. The net cash used in investing activities primarily relates
to acquisitions as discussed below. In addition to those described, the
Company continually evaluates possible acquisition candidates as a part of
its ongoing corporate development process. Various potential acquisition
candidates are in different stages of this process. Capital expenditures
were $27.4 for 2004, $21.8 for 2003 and $14.5 for 2002.

FISCAL 2004. On February 3, 2004 the Company completed the acquisition of
Phat Fashions, LLC and Phat Licensing, LLC (together referred to as Phat).
Phat is a licensor of apparel for men, women and children, athletic shoes
and accessories through the Phat Farm(R) and Baby Phat(R) brands. Phat is
part of the Men's Sportswear segment. The acquisition of Phat adds important
labels to Kellwood's portfolio of brands.

The purchase price (including acquisition costs) for Phat was $141.9 in
cash. Included in this amount was the exercise price for Phat's option to
buyout the license from the menswear licensee for $25.0, which the Company
exercised in February 2004. Additional cash purchase consideration will be
due if Phat achieves certain specified financial performance targets for
2004 through 2010. Such consideration, if earned, would be accounted for as
additional goodwill. This additional cash purchase consideration is
calculated based on a formula applied to annual royalty revenue through
2010. A minimum level of royalty revenue must be earned in order for this
additional consideration to be paid. There is no maximum amount of
incremental purchase price. The additional consideration to be paid with
respect to 2004 is estimated at $3.3, which resulted in an increase to
goodwill and accrued expenses in the fourth quarter.

The Phat acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting. Accordingly, the results of Phat have been included in the
consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date.

                    AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
                    -------------------------------------
                (Dollars in Millions, except per share data)


FISCAL 2003. On February 4, 2003 the Company completed the acquisition of
substantially all the assets of Briggs New York Corp. (Briggs). This
acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
Briggs is a designer and marketer of moderately priced women's apparel. The
results of operations have been included in the Women's Sportswear segment
beginning in 2003.

The purchase price (including acquisition costs) for Briggs was $133.8 in
cash and 0.5 million shares of Kellwood common stock valued at $11.9.
Additional cash purchase consideration will be due if Briggs achieves
certain specified financial performance targets through 2006. Such
consideration, if earned, would be accounted for as goodwill. This
additional cash purchase consideration is calculated based on a formula
applied to annual operating results. A minimum level of performance must be
reached in order for this additional consideration to be paid. At this
minimum level of performance, additional consideration of $2.0 would be paid
for each of the four years after the acquisition (fiscal 2003 through fiscal
2006). The amount of consideration increases with increased levels of
earnings. There is no maximum amount of incremental purchase price. The
amount of consideration paid to Briggs based on their 2003 performance was
$8.2 and was paid in the first quarter of 2004. The additional consideration
to be paid with respect to 2004 is estimated at $8.2, which resulted in an
increase to goodwill and accrued expenses in the fourth quarter of 2004.

FISCAL 2002. On June 25, 2002 the Company completed its acquisition of
Gerber Childrenswear, Inc. (Gerber) for approximately $18.2 in cash, net of
cash acquired of $50.9, and 2.3 million shares of the Company's common stock
valued at $68.2. This acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting. The Hosiery operations of Gerber are included in
discontinued operations (see financial statement Note 4), and the children's
apparel business is included in the Other Soft Goods Segment. See financial
statement Note 3 for more detail.

In April 2002 the Company entered into a transaction with Casual Male Retail
Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: CMRG). Pursuant to this transaction the Company
acquired an $11.0, 5% Subordinated Note and signed a seven-year Sourcing
Agreement under which Kellwood will produce men's sportswear, activewear and
furnishings for the nationwide chain of Casual Male stores. The payment
terms require periodic principal and interest payments through April 2007 at
which time the note expires. During 2004, the Company collected $2.1.

NET CASH PROVIDED BY FINANCING ACTIVITIES increased to $190.8 for 2004 from
($34.2) for 2003. The $225.0 increase was primarily due to proceeds from the
Company's issuance of $200 in convertible debentures.

During the second quarter of 2004, the Company privately placed $200 of
3.50% Convertible Senior Debentures. The debentures will mature on June 15,
2034, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased by the Company. The
Company intends to use the proceeds from the offering for general corporate
purposes, which may include future acquisitions (see financial statement
Note 7).

On October 20, 2004, the Company executed a $400 five-year unsecured,
syndicated credit facility (the New Credit Agreement). The New Credit
Agreement can be used for borrowings and/or letters of credit. Borrowings
under the New Credit Agreement bear interest at LIBOR plus a spread ranging
from .60% to 1.25% with such spread depending on the Company's leverage
ratio. The New Credit Agreement replaces the Company's previous agreement,
dated April 30, 2002, that was set to expire in May 2005 (see financial
statement Note 7).

At January 29, 2005, there were no borrowings outstanding under this
facility. Letters of credit outstanding under the agreement were $59.8. In
addition to this facility, the Company has $1.5 in outstanding letters of
credit used by its foreign subsidiaries.

The Company's credit rating by Standard & Poor's is BBB- rating with a
"stable outlook". The Company's credit rating by Moody's for long-term debt
is "Ba1" with a "stable outlook".

                    -------------------------------------
                (Dollars in Millions, except per share data)


As a result of the above, the Company's cash and cash equivalents increased
to $261.4 at January 29, 2005. This increase was due to the proceeds from
the convertible debt and positive cash flow from operations partially offset
by the acquisition of Phat on February 3, 2004.

Management believes that the operating, cash and equity position of the
Company will continue to provide the capital flexibility necessary to fund
future opportunities and to meet existing obligations.

DISCLOSURES CONCERNING "OFF-BALANCE SHEET" ARRANGEMENTS. A Singaporean
manufacturing joint venture 50% owned by the Company has a $5.3 credit
facility. The Company has guaranteed one half of the amount of any borrowing
under this facility not otherwise paid when due by the joint venture. $2.7
was outstanding under this facility at January 29, 2005.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMERCIAL COMMITMENTS
A summary of the Company's long-term obligations at January 29, 2005 is as

(1) Additional cash purchase consideration will be due if Briggs achieves
certain specified financial performance targets through 2006. Such
consideration, if earned, would be accounted for as additional goodwill.
This additional cash purchase consideration is calculated based on a formula
applied to operating results. A minimum level of performance must be reached
in order for this additional consideration to be paid. At this minimum level
of performance, additional consideration of $2.0 would be paid for each year
through 2006. The amount of consideration increases with increased levels of
earnings. There is no maximum amount of incremental purchase price. The
table includes the estimated obligation based on actual 2004 performance
only.

(2) Additional cash purchase consideration will be due if Phat achieves
certain specified financial performance targets for 2004 through 2010. Such
consideration, if earned, would be accounted for as additional goodwill.
This additional cash purchase consideration is calculated based on a formula
applied to annual royalty revenue through 2010. A minimum level of royalty
revenue must be earned in order for this additional consideration to be
paid. There is no maximum amount of incremental purchase price. The table
includes the estimated obligation based on actual 2004 performance only.

(3) The timing of payment of the deferred compensation is based on the
individual participants' payment elections and the timing of their
retirement or termination. There are 127 participants in the deferred
compensation plan.

(4) The timing of the pension funding obligations associated with the
Company's frozen defined benefit pension plans and exit obligations under
multiemployer pension plans as discussed in financial statement Note 9 is
dependent on a number of factors including investment results and other
factors that contribute to future pension expense.

         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
         -----------------------------------------------------------
                    AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
                    -------------------------------------
                (Dollars in Millions, except per share data)


SHARE REPURCHASES:
In September 2000 the Board of Directors authorized the Company to
repurchase up to an additional ten percent of the outstanding shares of its
Common Stock (up to approximately 2.27 million shares) in the open market or
through privately negotiated transactions at management's discretion and
depending on market conditions. Any purchases pursuant to this authorization
will be financed out of the Company's cash resources. As discussed in
financial statement Note 7, certain debt covenants may limit purchases under
this authorization. No purchases have been made pursuant to this
authorization nor are any planned at this point in time.

MARKET RISK SENSITIVITY AND INFLATION RISKS
-------------------------------------------
FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK. The Company does not believe that it has significant
foreign currency transactional exposures. Almost all of the Company's sales
are denominated in U.S. dollars. Most of the Company's purchases are
denominated in U.S. dollars. A significant amount of the Company's
underlying sourcing and production costs would be impacted by changes in
local currencies. Sourcing is not concentrated in any one foreign country.
The largest single country is approximately twenty percent with all other
countries representing less than 10% each. The impact of a ten percent
unfavorable change in the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against the
prevailing market rates of the foreign currencies in which the Company does
have transactional exposures would be immaterial. In addition, there are
discussions about strengthening the Chinese Renminbi against the U.S.
dollar. If this were to occur and subject to the extent of the revaluation,
the Company does not believe it will have a material impact on the financial
position or results of operations. These foreign currency risks are similar
to those experienced by the Company's competitors.

INTEREST RATE RISK. Interest rate risk is managed through the maintenance of
a portfolio of variable- and fixed-rate debt composed of short-term and
long-term instruments. The objective is to maintain a cost-effective mix
that management deems appropriate. At January 29, 2005, the Company's debt
portfolio was composed of 100% fixed-rate debt. Kellwood's strategy
regarding management of its exposure to interest rate fluctuations did not
change significantly during 2004. Management does not expect any significant
changes in its exposure to interest rate fluctuations or in how such
exposure is managed the coming year.

Various financial instruments issued by the Company are sensitive to changes
in interest rates. Market interest rate changes would result in increases or
decreases in the market value of the Company's fixed-rate debt. With respect
to the Company's fixed-rate debt outstanding at January 29, 2005, a 10%
increase in interest rates would have resulted in approximately a $23.0
decrease in the market value of Kellwood's fixed-rate debt; a 10% decrease
in interest rates would have resulted in approximately a $24.5 increase in
the market value of Kellwood's fixed-rate debt.

COMMODITY PRICE RISK. Kellwood is subject to commodity price risk arising
from price fluctuations in the market prices of sourced garments and the
various raw materials that comprise its manufactured products (synthetic
fabrics, woolens, denim, cotton, etc.). The Company is subject to commodity
price risk to the extent that any fluctuations in the market prices of its
purchased garments and raw materials are not reflected by adjustments in
selling prices of its products or if such adjustments significantly trail
changes in these costs. Historically, there have been no significant risks
due to commodity price fluctuations. Kellwood does not use derivative
instruments in the management of these risks.

INFLATION RISK. Kellwood's inflation risks are managed by each business unit
through selective price increases when possible, productivity improvements,
and cost-containment measures. Management does not believe that inflation
risk is material to the Company's business or its consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.

CAUTIONARY NOTE CONCERNING FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This Annual Report contains statements which, to the extent they are not
statements of historical or present fact, constitute "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. These forward-looking statements represent the Company's expectations
or beliefs concerning future events and are based on various assumptions and
subject to a wide variety of risks and uncertainties. Although the Company
believes that its expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements
are reasonable, it cannot and does not give any assurance that such
expectations will prove to be correct.

The Company's forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions,
and the Company's operations are subject to various risks and uncertainties.
Any one of these factors or any combination of these factors could
materially affect the results of the Company's operations and cause actual
results to differ materially from the Company's expectations. These factors
include but are not limited to:
   o  changes in the retail environment. With the growing trend towards
      retail trade consolidation, the Company is increasingly dependent
      upon key retailers whose bargaining strength and share of the
      Company's business is growing. Accordingly, the Company faces
      greater pressure from these customers to provide more favorable
      trade terms. The Company can be negatively affected by changes in
      the policies or negotiating positions of its customers. The
      inability of the Company to develop satisfactory programs and
      systems to satisfy these customers could adversely affect
      operating results in any reporting period.

   o  the economic effects of the uncertainty through early 2005 caused
      by the elimination of Chinese import quotas and the uncertainty as
      to the effect of safeguards, if any, put in place on Chinese
      imports into the U.S.

   o  changes in the relative performance of the Company's business
      units that could have an adverse impact on the business unit's
      forecasted cash flows, resulting in goodwill impairment charges.

   o  changes in trends in the market segments in which the Company competes;

   o  the performance of the Company's products within the prevailing
      retail environment;

   o  customer acceptance of both new designs and newly introduced
      product lines;

   o  actions of competitors that may impact the Company's business;

   o  financial or operational difficulties encountered by customers or
      suppliers;

   o  the economic impact of uncontrollable factors, such as terrorism
      and war;

   o  disruptions to transportation systems or shipping lanes used by
      the Company or its suppliers;

   o  continued satisfactory relationships with licensees and licensors
      of trademarks and brands;

   o  ability to generate sufficient sales and profitability related to
      licensing agreements that contain significant minimum royalty payments;

   o  the impact of economic changes such as:
      -  the overall level of consumer spending for apparel,
      -  national and regional economic conditions,
      -  inflation or deflation,
      -  changes in oil prices, including their impact on fabric
         prices and/or transportation costs;
      -  currency exchange fluctuations, and
      -  changes in interest rates and other capital market conditions;

   o  stable governments and business conditions in the nations where
      the Company's products are manufactured;

   o  the scope, nature or impact of acquisition activity and the
      ability to effectively integrate acquired operations; and

   o  changes in the Company's plans, strategies, objectives,
      expectations and intentions that may happen at any time at the
      discretion of the Company.

The reader is also directed to the Company's periodic filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission for additional factors that may impact
the Company's results of operations and financial condition.

and others are used by the Company under licensing agreements. Approximately
80% of the Company's products are sourced from contract manufacturers,
primarily in the Eastern Hemisphere. Products are manufactured to meet the
Company's product specifications and labor standards. In addition, the
Company manufactures certain products in its own plants located primarily in
the Eastern Hemisphere.

(B) BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and all majority-owned subsidiaries. Substantially
all foreign subsidiaries are consolidated based upon a fiscal year ending
December 31 due to the timing of receipt of financial information. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The
amounts and disclosures included in the notes to the consolidated financial
statements, unless otherwise indicated, are presented on a continuing
operations basis.

(C) FISCAL YEAR: The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest
January 31. References to the Company's fiscal years represent the
following:
   FISCAL YEAR                      REPRESENTS THE 52 WEEKS ENDED
   -----------                      -----------------------------
   2004                             January 29, 2005
   2003                             January 31, 2004
   2002                             February 1, 2003

(D) USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires that management make
estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those
estimates and assumptions.

(E) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: All highly liquid short-term time deposits
with original maturities of three months or less maintained under cash
management activities are considered cash equivalents. The effect of foreign
currency exchange rate fluctuations on cash and cash equivalents was not
significant for 2004, 2003, or 2002.

(F) ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK: The Company
maintains an allowance for accounts receivable estimated to be
uncollectible. The activity in this allowance is summarized as follows:
                                    2004           2003            2002
                                 -----------    -----------     -----------

Balance, beginning of year       $     4,708    $     6,482     $     8,729
Provision for bad debts                1,204          1,728           2,236
Bad debts written off                   (797)        (3,502)         (4,483)
                                 -----------    -----------     -----------

Balance, end of year             $     5,115    $     4,708     $     6,482
                                 ===========    ===========     ===========

The provision for bad debts is included in selling, general and
administrative expense. Substantially all of the Company's trade receivables
are derived from sales to retailers and are recorded at the invoiced amount
and do not bear interest. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of
its customers' financial condition and requires collateral as deemed
necessary. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when the
Company feels it is probable the receivable will not be recovered.

There was no customer that accounted for more than ten percent of the
Company's consolidated net sales in 2004. Customers that accounted for more
than ten percent of the Company's consolidated net sales during 2003 and
2002 are as follows:
                                           Percent of Sales
                                      --------------------------
                                         2003           2002
                                      -----------    -----------
Customer A                                    10%            11%
Customer B                                     8%            10%

Sales to customer A occurred in the Women's Sportswear, Men's Sportswear and
Other Soft Goods segments. Sales to customer B occurred in the Women's
Sportswear and Other Soft Goods segments.

           ------------------------------------------------------
                (Dollars in thousands, except per share data)


(G) INVENTORIES: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost
is determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. The cost of inventory
includes manufacturing or purchase cost as well as sourcing, pre-production,
transportation, duty and other processing costs associated with acquiring,
importing and preparing inventory for sale. Inventory costs are included in
cost of products sold at the time of their sale. In addition to inventory
costs, other costs included in cost of products sold are royalties for
licensed brand names and distribution costs. Product development costs are
expensed when incurred. Inventory values are reduced to net realizable value
when there are factors indicating that certain inventories will not be sold
on terms sufficient to recover their cost.

Inventories consist of the following:
                                                  2004           2003
                                               -----------    -----------

         Finished goods                        $   258,867    $   240,856
         Work in process                            36,352         36,407
         Raw materials                              36,383         38,672
                                               -----------    -----------

         Total                                 $   331,602    $   315,935
                                               ===========    ===========

         Net of obsolescence reserves of       $    33,651    $    30,424
                                               ===========    ===========

(H) PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT: Property, plant and equipment are stated
at cost. Depreciation is computed generally on the declining balance method
over estimated useful lives of 15 to 40 years for buildings and of 3 to 10
years for machinery and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized
principally on the straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated
useful lives or the remaining lease term, excluding renewal terms.
Capitalized software is amortized on the straight-line basis over the
estimated economic useful life of the software, generally 2 to 7 years.
Depreciation expense was $27,152, $25,703, and $25,330 for 2004, 2003 and
2002, respectively. This includes computer software amortization of $8,149,
$7,007 and $5,976 for 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

(I) IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS: The Company reviews long-lived assets
and other intangibles with a finite life if facts and circumstances exist
which indicate that the asset useful life is shorter than previously
estimated or the carrying amount may not be recoverable from future
operations based on undiscounted expected future cash flows. Impairment
losses are recognized in operating results when discounted expected future
cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset.

(J) GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS: Goodwill is recorded when the
consideration paid for an acquisition exceeds the fair value of identifiable
net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Beginning in 2002,
with the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill and other
indefinite-lived intangible assets were no longer amortized, but will be
reviewed for impairment at least annually and if a triggering event were to
occur in an interim period. Goodwill impairment is determined using a
two-step process. The first step of the impairment test is used to identify
potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to the
book value, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit
exceeds its book value, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered
impaired and the second step of the impairment test is not required. If the
book value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of
the impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss,
if any. The second step of the impairment test compares the implied fair
value of the reporting unit's goodwill with the book value of that goodwill.
If the book value of the reporting unit's goodwill exceeds the implied fair
value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal
to that excess. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same
manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination. The
initial impairment evaluation was completed in the first quarter of 2002,
and no impairment was indicated. The annual impairment testing is performed
in the fourth quarter. In 2004, 2003 and 2002, no impairment was indicated.
There were no triggering events that occurred during the year that required
testing other than the annual test. This evaluation utilized discounted cash
flow analysis and multiple analyses of the historical and forecasted
operating results of the Company's reporting units. See Note 6 for more
information on SFAS No. 142 and accounting for goodwill.

Identifiable intangible assets are valued and assigned lives based on
independent appraisals. Identifiable intangible assets include trademarks,
customer base, and license agreements, which are being amortized over their
useful lives ranging from 2 to 20 years. Impairment testing of these would
occur if and when a triggering event occurs. There were no triggering events
that occurred during the year.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
           ------------------------------------------------------
                (Dollars in thousands, except per share data)


(K) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES: The Company periodically
enters into forward currency exchange contracts to hedge its exposure to
foreign currency fluctuations for purchases of certain inventories and sales
of certain products. Company policy allows for the use of derivatives only
for identifiable exposures, and therefore, the Company does not enter into
derivative instruments for speculative purposes where the objective is to
generate profits. Derivatives used by the Company have an initial term of
less than one year. Management expects these derivatives to be highly
effective in hedging the intended foreign currency fluctuation risks. As of
January 29, 2005 and January 31, 2004 the Company's derivatives have been
designated as hedges of variable cash flows of forecasted transactions. As
such, the fair values of the derivatives have been recorded in the
Consolidated Balance Sheet, with the offset recorded in other comprehensive
income. The fair value of these derivatives on January 29, 2005 and January
31, 2004 was not material. The gain or loss related to these derivatives
will be reclassified to earnings as the forecasted transactions take place
between February 2005 and December 2005.

(L) FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURE FOR FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: The Company's financial
instruments consist of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes
receivable, notes payable, and long-term debt. For cash equivalents,
accounts receivable, notes receivable and notes payable the carrying amount
approximates fair value. Based on quoted market prices obtained through
independent pricing sources for the same or similar types of borrowing
arrangements, the Company's long-term debt has a market value that
approximates its book value at January 29, 2005 and January 31, 2004.

(M) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION: The financial statements of foreign
subsidiaries are translated into United States dollars in accordance with
SFAS No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation. Where the functional currency of
a foreign subsidiary is its local currency, income statement items are
translated at the average exchange rate for the period and balance sheet
accounts are translated using period-end exchange rates. Gains and losses
resulting from translation are reported as a separate component of other
comprehensive income within shareowners' equity.

Where the local currency of a foreign subsidiary is not its functional
currency, financial statements are translated at either current or
historical exchange rates as appropriate. These adjustments, together with
gains and losses on foreign currency transactions, are recognized in the
income statement as incurred.

(N) REVENUE RECOGNITION: Sales are recognized when goods are shipped in
accordance with customer orders. The estimated amounts of sales discounts,
returns and allowances are accounted for as reductions of sales when the
associated sale occurs. These estimated amounts are adjusted periodically
based on changes in facts and circumstances when the changes become known to
the Company. Accrued discounts and allowances are included as an offset to
accounts receivable in the balance sheet. The activity in the accrued
discounts, returns and allowances account is summarized as follows:

Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling costs are not
significant. The Company's stated terms are FOB shipping point. There is no
stated obligation to customers after shipment, other than specifically set
forth allowances or discounts that are accrued at the time of sale. The
rights of inspection or acceptance contained in certain sales agreements are
limited to whether the goods received by the Company's customers are in
conformance with the order specifications.

(O) LICENSE AGREEMENTS: The Company has exclusive license agreements to
market apparel and other soft goods under trademarks owned by other parties.
These agreements contain provisions for minimum guaranteed royalty and
advertising payments based on anticipated sales. If the Company does not
anticipate meeting the minimum sales amounts to satisfy the guaranteed
minimum royalty and advertising amounts, the guaranteed minimum royalty and
advertising amounts are accrued. In 2004, 2003 and 2002 sales of licensed
products were approximately $548,000, $401,000 and $335,000, respectively.
See Note 14 for additional discussion regarding commitments.

(P) ADVERTISING: The Company provides cooperative advertising allowances to
certain of its customers. These allowances are accounted for as reductions
in sales as discussed in "Revenue Recognition" above. In addition, the
Company conducts advertising related to certain products it manufactures and
sells. Production expense related to company-directed advertising is
deferred until the first time at which the advertisement runs. Communication
expense related to company-directed advertising is expensed as incurred.
Company-directed advertising expense was $25,144 in 2004, $9,449 in 2003 and
$6,325 in 2002. There were no significant amounts of production expenses
associated with company-directed advertising deferred at January 29, 2005
and January 31, 2004.

(Q) INCOME TAXES: Income taxes are based upon income for financial reporting
purposes. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the effect of temporary
differences between financial and tax reporting in accordance with the
requirements of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.

(R) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION: The Company has two stock-based employee
compensation plans which are described more fully in Note 10. These plans
are accounted for under the recognition and measurement principles of
Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, and related interpretations. The Company has adopted the
disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation-Transition and Disclosure. No stock-based employee compensation
cost is reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings, as all options
granted under these plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of
the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per
share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of
SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.

Further discussion of the methodology and key assumptions used in developing
the option fair values, as well as other information regarding the option
plans, is included in Note 10.

(S) RECLASSIFICATIONS: Certain amounts in the prior years' financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year's
presentation.

(T) NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
In October 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the Act) was signed
into law. The Act contains a provision that allows a one-time 85% dividends
received deduction on the repatriation of cash invested outside the U.S.
above a defined base. The Company is evaluating this provision of the Act
and analyzing the provisions as they apply to the Company. Until these items
are analyzed and the Company develops a defined plan for the use of the
funds, it is not possible to determine the amount of dividends the Company
will repatriate to the U.S. or the impact on income taxes or the Company's
effective tax rate.

           ------------------------------------------------------
                (Dollars in thousands, except per share data)


In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based
Payment (SFAS No. 123R). This statement is effective for all interim and
annual reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2005. SFAS No. 123R sets
accounting requirements for "share-based" compensation to employees,
requires companies to recognize in the income statement the grant-date fair
value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to
employees and disallows the use of the intrinsic value method of accounting
for stock compensation. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that
this statement will have on the results of operations. The Company plans to
adopt this statement under the modified prospective transition method, which
will require the recording of stock option expense in the statement of
earnings beginning on July 31, 2005, the first day of the third quarter of
2005. The Company believes the adoption of this statement will result in
stock option expense of approximately $3,000 in the second half of 2005. The
Company currently accounts for stock-based compensation under APB Opinion
25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations,
and has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 148, Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure.

NOTE 2. RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. On December 1, 2005, the
Company concluded to restate herein its previously issued consolidated
statement of earnings for the fiscal years ended January 29, 2005 and
January 31, 2004, consolidated statement of cash flows for the fiscal years
ended January 29, 2005 and January 31, 2004, and consolidated balance sheet
at January 29, 2005 and January 31, 2004. This restatement corrects
accounting errors detailed below. Additionally, all affected amounts
described in these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements have been
restated.

Accrual of Freight, Duty and Agents' Commission Costs

Prior to the completion of the financial statements for the three and nine
months ended October 29, 2005, the Company determined that it incorrectly
accounted for freight, duty and agents' commission costs related to imports
of goods at a regional accounting center which resulted in the
understatement of accounts payable and costs of products sold. The Company
identified this issue after the regional accounting center was centralized
into the Company's financial services operations in St. Louis and subsequent
review of accounting processes.

After discovering the error, the Company corrected the accounting processes
during the third quarter of 2005 so that there was an appropriate cutoff at
October 29, 2005. Additionally, the Company reviewed the accruals for
freight, duty and agents' commission costs at prior interim and year-end
reporting dates. This review has been completed for the periods necessary to
correctly present all of the periods contained in these financial statements
on a restated basis.

The accounting error caused an understatement of cost of products sold in
prior periods and a cumulative overstatement of earnings before income taxes
of $7,904 ($4,980 after tax) as of January 29, 2005. The Company has
determined that the accounting error overstated earnings before income taxes
for the 2004 fiscal year ended January 29, 2005 by $5,967 ($3,758 after tax)
and for the 2003 fiscal year ended January 31, 2004 by $4,678 ($2,947 after
tax). The accounting error understated earnings before income taxes for
periods prior to fiscal year 2003, cumulatively, by $2,741 ($1,727 after
tax). As discussed below, this amount was recorded in the first quarter of
the 2003 fiscal year.

Death Benefits Program

In 2004 the Company determined that it had underaccrued for liabilities
related to a Death Benefit Program that covers three present and nine former
senior executives. This program was initiated in the early 1980's and is
being phased out with no new participants since prior to 2000. Beginning in
2004, the Company began to record an annual charge in the amount necessary
to appropriately state expense in each period. The Company did not record
the past underaccrual at January 31, 2004 as it concluded that it was
immaterial.

The accounting error resulted in an understatement of selling, general and
administrative expenses and an overstatement of earnings before income taxes
for the 2003 fiscal year ended January 31, 2004 of $276 ($174 after tax).
The accounting error resulted in a cumulative understatement of selling,
general and administrative expenses and a cumulative overstatement of
earnings before income taxes for periods prior to fiscal year 2003 of $3,650
($2,300 after tax). Prior to the 2003 fiscal year, deferred income taxes and
other on the Company's balance sheet was understated by $3,650 ($2,300 after
tax). As discussed below, these amounts were recorded in the first quarter
of the 2003 fiscal year.

Amounts for the Years Prior to 2003

The Company determined that the underaccruals of freight, duty and agents'
commission costs and the accrued death benefit liability related to periods
prior to fiscal year 2003 were not material to the fiscal year 2003, 2002 or
prior years' financial statements. As such, the Company recorded the
cumulative amount for periods prior to fiscal year 2003 related to the
freight, duty and agents' commission costs and the death benefit program in
the first quarter of the 2003 fiscal year. These individual and combined
amounts and the related increase (decrease) to earnings are as follows:

NOTE 3.  BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
On February 3, 2004 the Company completed the acquisition of Phat Fashions,
LLC and Phat Licensing, LLC (together referred to as Phat). Phat is a
licensor of apparel for men, women and children, athletic shoes and
accessories through the Phat Farm and Baby Phat brands. Phat is part of the
Men's Sportswear segment. The Company believes Phat will add important
labels to Kellwood's portfolio of brands. The purchase price (including
acquisition costs) for Phat was $141,934 in cash. Included in this amount
was the exercise price for Phat's option to buyout the license from the
menswear licensee for $25,000, which the Company exercised in February 2004.
Additional cash purchase consideration will be due if Phat achieves certain
specified financial performance targets for 2004 through 2010. Such
consideration, if earned, would be accounted for as additional goodwill.
This additional cash purchase consideration is calculated based on a formula
applied to annual royalty revenue through 2010. A minimum level of royalty
revenue must be earned in order for this additional consideration to be
paid. There is no maximum amount of incremental purchase price. The
additional consideration for 2004 is estimated at $3,330, which resulted in
an increase to goodwill and accrued expenses in the fourth quarter of 2004.

The Phat acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting. Accordingly, the results of Phat are included in the
consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date.

On February 4, 2003 the Company completed the acquisition of substantially
all of the assets of Briggs New York Corp. (Briggs). Briggs is a leading
provider of women's pants and skirts for the moderate market to department
stores and national chains.

The purchase price (including acquisition costs) for Briggs was $133,823 in
cash and 0.5 million shares of Kellwood common stock valued at $11,891.
Additional cash purchase consideration will be due if Briggs achieves
certain specified financial performance targets through 2006. Such
consideration, if earned, will be accounted for as additional goodwill. This
additional cash purchase consideration is calculated based on a formula
applied to annual operating results. A minimum level of performance must be
reached in order for this additional consideration to be paid. At this
minimum level of performance, additional consideration of $2,000 would be
paid for each of the four years after the acquisition (fiscal 2003 through
fiscal 2006). The amount of consideration increases with increased levels of
earnings. There is no maximum amount of incremental purchase price. The
amount of consideration paid to Briggs based on their 2003 performance was
$8,226 and was paid in the first quarter of 2004. This amount was accrued at
January 31, 2004 and paid out during the first quarter of 2004. The
additional consideration for 2004 is estimated at $8,209, which resulted in
an increase to goodwill and accrued expenses in the fourth quarter of 2004.

The Briggs acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting. Accordingly, the results of Briggs are included in the
consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date. Briggs is part
of the Women's Sportswear Segment.

On June 25, 2002 the Company completed the acquisition of Gerber
Childrenswear, Inc. (Gerber). The Company believes that Gerber provides
Kellwood with a platform for growth into the $25 billion children's apparel
market. Gerber produces infant and toddler apparel under the Gerber(R) and
Curity(R) licensed brand names, as well as under its own Onesies(R) label.
Offerings include sleepwear, underwear, bedding and bath products, which are
sold through mass-market, moderately priced and specialty channels of
distribution.

The purchase price for Gerber was approximately $18,150 in cash, net of cash
acquired of $50,890, and 2.3 million shares of Kellwood common stock valued
at $68,185.

The Gerber acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting. Accordingly, the results of Gerber are included in the
consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date. Gerber's
hosiery business is part of discontinued operations (see Note 4), and the
children's apparel business is part of the Other Soft Goods Segment.

The Company's unaudited consolidated results of operations on a pro-forma
basis for 2002 assuming the acquisitions of Briggs and Gerber had occurred
at the beginning of 2002 are: net sales of $2,425,676, net earnings from
continuing operations of $51,209 and diluted earnings per share from
continuing operations of $1.95. These pro forma results are not necessarily
indicative of the operating results that would have occurred had these
acquisitions been consummated at the beginning of the year or of future
operating results.

NOTE 4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
During the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company decided to discontinue their
True Beauty by Emme(R) (True Beauty) operations. This included the
termination of the related license agreement. The agreement was originally
entered into during the second quarter of 2002. As such, the operations of
True Beauty ceased in the fourth quarter of 2003 and have been accounted for
as discontinued operations. Prior to being classified as discontinued, True
Beauty was included in the Women's Sportswear segment.

On October 30, 2003, the Company finalized an agreement to sell their
domestic and European hosiery (Hosiery) operations for $7,500 plus
reimbursement of $2,800 for costs incurred by the Company in connection with
the closure of certain facilities. As such, the operations of the Hosiery
business are accounted for as discontinued operations. Prior to being
classified as discontinued, the Hosiery operations were included in the
Men's Sportswear segment. The Hosiery operations were acquired in June 2002
as part of the Company's acquisition of Gerber (see Note 3).

For 2004, there was no operating activity for the discontinued operations.
In addition, at January 29, 2005 and January 31, 2004 there were no
significant assets or liabilities remaining related to the discontinued
operations. Operating results for 2003 and 2002 for the True Beauty and
Hosiery operations are as follows:

In connection with the sale of the Hosiery business, an after-tax gain of
approximately $2,580 was recorded and included in discontinued operations.
The income tax benefit recognized in 2003 includes the benefit from a higher
tax basis in the Hosiery operation's assets than that recorded for book
purposes.

NOTE 5.  FACILITIES REALIGNMENT COSTS
In 2002 the Company decided to implement realignment actions, including the
closing of certain domestic warehousing and Latin American production
facilities and the discontinuance of a licensing agreement. The realignments
included the closing of five warehouse operations and six manufacturing
facilities and were anticipated to result in a reduction of employment by
approximately 1,900, primarily production and warehousing personnel. These
actions impacted 2002 earnings by $14,987 before tax ($9,697 after tax, or
$.39 per share). These costs included $2,901 recorded in cost of products
sold and $12,086 recorded as a provision for business and facilities
realignment.

Through January 29, 2005 these realignment actions resulted in the Company
closing five warehouse operations and four manufacturing facilities,
reducing employment and terminating a license agreement. The costs related
to those actions include employee severance, vacant facilities costs, and
other cash realignment costs including minimum royalties and customer
markdowns on a discontinued license agreement. The asset impairments related
primarily to fixed assets that are no longer being used and that have been
reduced to estimated fair value less cost to sell. During 2004, the Company
completed all realignment actions, and the amounts originally provided have
been reduced to $0 as detailed in the table below:

</TABLE>
In connection with the Gerber acquisition the Company made the decision to
implement certain realignment actions within the acquired operations. These
realignments included the closing of one warehouse operation, the closing of
four manufacturing facilities and the downsizing of two domestic
manufacturing facilities and were anticipated to result in a reduction of
employment by approximately 1,350, primarily production and warehousing
personnel. The estimated costs of these actions were accrued in the opening
balance sheet and did not impact 2002 earnings. Through January 29, 2005,
the Company has closed the warehouse operation and two of the four
manufacturing plants and completed the downsizing of the two domestic
manufacturing facilities, resulting in a reduction of employment of
approximately 520. The Company decided that it would not close the third of
the four manufacturing facilities that was originally planned to be closed.
The last of the four manufacturing facilities was one of the two facilities
in Ireland that made up the European Hosiery operations. This facility was
not closed as part of the acquisition implementation but instead is part of
the discontinuance of the European Hosiery operations discussed in Note 4.
As a result of the changes in plans for the third and fourth manufacturing
facilities, the accruals of $3,331 for severance related to those closings
were reversed to the opening balance sheet in fiscal 2003. During 2004, the
Company completed all realignment activities associated with the Gerber
acquisition with the unutilized remaining reserves of $953 being reversed to
goodwill. The amounts originally provided have been reduced to $0 as
detailed in the table below:

Amortization of identifiable intangible assets was $13,434 for 2004, $9,532
for 2003, and $5,775 for 2002. The $3,902 increase in amortization in 2004
from 2003 is due to the identifiable intangible assets related to Phat. The
$3,757 increase in amortization in 2003 from 2002 is due to the identifiable
intangible assets for Briggs and a full-year of amortization related to the
Gerber identifiable intangible assets. Amortization expense for the years
2005 to 2008 is expected to be approximately $13,500 per year.

syndicated credit facility (the Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement can
be used for borrowings and/or letters of credit. Borrowings under the Credit
Agreement bear interest at LIBOR plus a spread ranging from .60% to 1.25%
with such spread depending on the Company's leverage ratio. The Credit
Agreement contains certain customary covenants, which, among other things,
restrict the Company's ability to incur indebtedness, grant liens, make
investments and acquisitions and sell assets. The financial covenants of the
Credit Agreement include requirements that the Company satisfy an interest
coverage ratio and leverage ratio and a net worth maintenance covenant. It
is not expected that any of these provisions will restrict the Company from
normal operations. The Credit Agreement replaces the Company's previous
agreement, dated April 30, 2002, that was set to expire in May 2005.

At January 29, 2005, there were no borrowings outstanding under this
facility. Letters of credit outstanding under the agreement were $59,803. In
addition to this facility, the Company has $1,540 in outstanding letters of
credit used by its foreign subsidiaries.

During 2004 the highest level of borrowings under all lines was $101,000
($52,362 for 2003). The average daily short-term borrowings for 2004 were
$19,155 ($7,343 for 2003), and the weighted average interest rate was 2.4%
(2.9% for 2003).

During 2004 the Company paid off the private placement notes that were set
to expire in 2005.

During the second quarter of 2004, the Company privately placed $200,000 of
3.50% Convertible Senior Debentures due 2034. The debentures are convertible
into shares of Kellwood's common stock at an initial conversion rate of
18.7434 shares per one thousand dollars original principal amount of
debentures (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $53.35 per
share) if the last reported sale price of the common stock is greater than
or equal to $70.05 per share for at least 20 trading days in the period of
30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding
fiscal quarter. The holders may also convert the debentures into shares of
Kellwood common stock prior to the stated maturity if the Company calls the
debentures for redemption and under certain other circumstances. In July
2004, the Company irrevocably elected to satisfy in cash (in lieu of
issuance of stock) 100% of the accreted principal amount of debentures
converted. The Company may still satisfy the remainder of its conversion
obligation to the extent it exceeds the accreted principal amount in cash or
common stock or any combination thereof.

The debentures accrue interest at an annual rate of 3.50%, payable
semi-annually until June 15, 2011. After June 15, 2011 interest will not be
paid, but instead the recorded value of the bonds will increase until
maturity. At maturity, the holder will receive the accreted principal amount
which will be equal to the original principal amount of one thousand dollars
per debenture plus the accreted interest.

The debentures will mature on June 15, 2034, unless earlier converted,
redeemed or repurchased by the Company. The Company may redeem some or all
of the debentures for cash, at any time and from time to time, on or after
June 20, 2011 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the accreted principal
amount of the debentures to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Holders have the right to require the Company to repurchase some or all of
the debentures for cash at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the accreted
principal amount of the debentures to be repurchased, plus accrued and
unpaid interest on June 15, 2011, June 15, 2014, June 15, 2019, June 15,
2024 and June 15, 2029, or if the Company undergoes a fundamental change as
defined in the debentures agreement. The Company intends to use the net
proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, which may include
future acquisitions.

A Singaporean shirt manufacturing joint venture 50% owned by the Company has
a $5,300 credit facility. The Company has guaranteed one half of the
borrowings under this facility. At January 29, 2005, $2,673 was outstanding
under this facility.

NOTE 8.  LEASES
The Company leases substantially all of its office space, certain
distribution facilities, retail outlet stores, and certain machinery and
equipment under operating leases having remaining terms ranging up to 9
years, excluding renewal terms. Rent under leases with scheduled rent
changes or lease concessions is recorded on a straight-line basis over the
lease term. Rent expense under all operating leases for 2004 totaled $37,234
($38,241 for 2003, and $34,781 for 2002).

The future minimum lease payments under capital and operating leases at
January 29, 2005 were as follows:

Defined Contribution Plans:
The Company maintains the Kellwood Company Retirement Plan (the 401(k) Plan)
under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Full-time employees, or
part-time employees working a minimum of 20 hours per week, over the age of
21 are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan after reaching the first
of the month following their one month anniversary of continuous employment.
The 401(k) Plan includes an employer contribution of an amount equal to 100%
of the first 3% of an employee's contribution and 50% of the next 2% of an
employee's contribution. Under the terms of the 401(k) Plan, a participant
is 100% vested in the matching contributions immediately.

The Company's Smart Shirts subsidiary in Hong Kong maintains the Mandatory
Provident Fund (MPF). Both employer and employee contribute 5% of the
employee's gross salary, which is subject to a maximum.

Single-Employer Defined Benefit Plans:
The Company's Smart Shirts subsidiary maintains a defined benefit plan for
certain of its employees. This plan was closed to new hires after December
1, 2000.

The Company's Gerber subsidiary maintains a defined benefit plan for certain
of its employees; this plan was frozen effective December 2002.

The Company is using a December 31 measurement date for these plans.

The market assumptions for the defined benefit plans are developed using
several approaches, including an analysis of historical returns, developing
an inflation expectation and real return risk premiums over inflation for
each asset class, and developing returns based on the drivers of return for
each asset class.

Gerber's retirement assets are invested in a series of broadly diversified
asset class specific portfolios. Assets are allocated to these funds in
accordance with the strategic target allocation as follows: equity of 67%,
debt of 30% and cash of 3%. Smart Shirts investment policies are to maintain
solvency for the future, establish an overall average company contribution
rate and ensure the ability to pay short-term distributions. The target
allocations for the Smart Shirts plan assets are 30 - 40% in equities with a
minimal balance in cash and the remainder of the assets in bonds.

The Company expects to contribute approximately $690 to their pension plans
during 2005.

The Plans expect to make payments ranging from $2,300 to $3,100 for the next
five years and payments totaling $17,700 for the years 2010 through 2014.

Multi-Employer Defined Benefit Plan:
Certain of the Company's subsidiaries make contributions to a multi-employer
defined benefit plan on behalf of their participating employees. The plan
administrator estimates that if the Company were to withdraw from the plan,
its potential liability for unfunded plan benefits would be approximately
$4,754 as of December 31, 2003, the date of the most recent actuarial
valuation report.

NOTE 10.  STOCK PLANS
The amended Restricted Stock Compensation Plan of 1969 and the Corporate
Development Incentive Plan of 1986 provide for the granting of common stock
to key employees as performance and incentive bonuses. The shares granted
may not be transferred, sold, pledged or otherwise disposed of prior to the
lapse of certain restrictions. There was no expense recorded under these
plans for 2004 ($4,505 for 2003 and $2,906 for 2002). At January 29, 2005,
there were 983,968 shares available to be granted under these plans to
qualified employees.

Options to purchase common stock have been granted to key employees under
various plans at option prices not less than the fair market value on the
date of the grant. At January 29, 2005, 214 officers and other key employees
held options to purchase shares. The options expire 10 years after grant on
dates ranging from August 24, 2005 to June 4, 2014 and are exercisable in
cumulative installments only after stated intervals of time and are
conditional upon active employment, except for periods following disability
or retirement.

</TABLE>

On March 10, 2005, the Company's Board of Directors approved an acceleration
of the exercisability of all unvested portions of stock options granted to
employees and executive officers on March 4, 2004, pursuant to the Kellwood
Company 1995 Omnibus Incentive Stock Plan. These options have an exercise
price greatly in excess of current stock price (are underwater), and are not
fully achieving the original objective of incentive compensation. Management
believes that the acceleration will have a positive effect on employee and
executive officer morale, retention and perception of option value. In
addition, the acceleration eliminates future compensation expense the
Company would otherwise recognize in its income statement with respect to
these options once FASB Statement No. 123R (Share-Based Payment) becomes
effective in 2005. Due to the significant difference between the current
stock price and the option exercise price, it is unlikely that the expense
otherwise required will accurately reflect compensation received. The
Company does not view acceleration of the ability to exercise as a grant of
a substantive additional financial benefit to the option holder.

                (Dollars in thousands, except per share data)


There are approximately 455,000 unvested options, having an exercise price
of $42.37 per share subject to this acceleration (approximately 100,000 of
these options are held by the executive officers). These options would have
vested over the next four years at a rate of 25% per year. This acceleration
of vesting approved by the Board of Directors is effective as of March 10,
2005. The maximum future pre-tax expense which would have been recognized
subsequent to the adoption of FASB Statement No. 123R on August 1, 2005 is
approximately $6.1 million (of which approximately $1.4 million is
attributable to options held by executive officers). This amount will
instead be reflected in pro forma footnote disclosure to the first quarter
2005 financial statements, which is in accordance with FASB Statement No.
123.

NOTE 11.  CAPITAL STOCK
The reported outstanding shares of common stock have been reduced by
treasury stock totaling 6,402,435 shares at January 29, 2005 (6,690,299
shares at January 31, 2004).

Authorized capital includes 500,000 shares of preferred stock, none of which
have been issued.

Nonvoting share purchase rights, exercisable only upon satisfaction of
certain conditions, entitle the holder to purchase Series A Junior Preferred
Stock (160,000 shares reserved) or, under certain conditions, common shares
at prices specified in the rights agreement. None of the rights were
exercisable as of January 29, 2005.

In September 2000 the Board of Directors authorized the Company to
repurchase up to an additional ten percent of the outstanding shares of its
Common Stock (up to approximately 2.27 million shares) in the open market or
through privately negotiated transactions at management's discretion and
depending on market conditions. Any purchases pursuant to this authorization
will be financed out of the Company's cash resources. As discussed in Note
7, certain debt covenants may limit purchases under this authorization. No
purchases have been made pursuant to this authorization nor are any planned
at this point in time.

The other deferred tax liability shown above consists substantially of
deferred tax liabilities for undistributed foreign earnings not considered
to be permanently invested, partially offset by deferred tax assets for
accrued expenses not deductible until paid.

Federal income taxes are provided on earnings of foreign subsidiaries except
to the extent that such earnings are currently expected to be permanently
reinvested abroad. Undistributed foreign earnings that we currently consider
to be permanently reinvested abroad totaled approximately $63,600 through
January 29, 2005.

NOTE 13.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

The calculation of diluted earnings per share excludes the impact of the
contingent convertible debt and 601,000 stock options in 2004 and 350,000
stock options in 2002 because to include them would have been antidilutive.

NOTE 14.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is currently party to various legal proceedings. While
management, including internal counsel, currently believes that the ultimate
outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not
have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position or
overall trends in results of operations, litigation is subject to inherent
uncertainties.

The Company has exclusive license agreements to market apparel under
trademarks owned by other parties. These include Calvin Klein(R) and IZOD(R)
for women's sportswear, Def Jam(TM) for men's and women's sportswear, Liz
Claiborne(R) for women's dresses and suits and XOXO(R) for junior's
sportswear and dresses. These agreements contain provisions for minimum
royalty and advertising payments based on anticipated sales in future
periods. In 2004 the royalty and advertising expense for these agreements
totaled $28,182 and $13,242, respectively ($18,941 and $2,231 in 2003 and
$12,335 and $674 in 2002).

Detail of the future minimum payments for all license agreements is as
follows:

NOTE 15.  INDUSTRY SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC AREA INFORMATION
The Company and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in the apparel and
related soft goods industries. The Company's operations are managed in a
number of business units that are organized around individual product lines
and brands. These business units are aggregated into three major consumer
market product groupings along with General Corporate, which represent the
Company's reportable segments. These segments are:

     o    WOMEN'S SPORTSWEAR designs, merchandises and sells women's
          sportswear sold through leading retailers in all channels of
          distribution. The product line includes blazers, dresses,
          sweaters, blouses, vests, other tops, skirts, pants, and skorts.
          The business is primarily branded goods sold at the
          popular-to-moderate price points, but the segment does include
          some better-to-bridge lines -- upper price point women's
          sportswear sold principally to small specialty stores, department
          stores and catalog houses. A partial list of such brands are Sag
          Harbor(R), Koret(R), Jax(R), David Dart(R), Dorby(TM), My
          Michelle(R), Briggs New York(R), Northern Isles(R) and David
          Brooks(R). Calvin Klein(R), XOXO(R), IZOD(R), Liz Claiborne(R)
          Dresses and Suits, David Meister(TM), and Bill Burns(R) are
          produced under licensing agreements.

     o    MEN'S SPORTSWEAR designs, manufactures and sells men's woven and
          knit shirts, pants and jeans sold to leading department stores,
          catalog houses and national chains. The business is primarily
          private label but also includes a number of branded programs such
          as Slates(R) business casual shirts, sweaters and tops,
          Nautica(R), Claiborne(R) and Dockers(R) dress shirts and Phat(R),
          Def Jam University(TM) and Run Athletics(TM) sportswear.

     o    OTHER SOFT GOODS designs, merchandises and sells intimate apparel,
          infant apparel, and recreation products (tents, sleeping bags,
          backpacks and related products). The business is primarily branded
          goods including Kelty(R) and Sierra Design(R) for recreation
          products, Gerber(R) for infant apparel and Oscar de la Renta Pink
          Label(R) for intimate apparel.

     o    GENERAL CORPORATE includes general and administrative expenses at
          the corporate level that are not allocated to the above segments.

Management evaluates the performance of its operating segments separately to
individually monitor the different factors affecting financial performance.
Segment earnings for the three major consumer market product segments
includes substantially all of the segment's costs of production,
distribution and administration.

Segment net assets measures net working capital, net fixed assets and other
noncurrent assets and liabilities of each segment. Goodwill, net intangibles
and certain corporate assets, including capitalized software and debt and
cash balances, are accounted for at the corporate level and as a result are
included in the General Corporate segment net assets. Amortization of
intangibles is accounted for at the corporate level and is not allocated to
the segments. Capital expenditures exclude the cost of long-lived assets
included in acquisitions accounted for under purchase accounting.

NOTE 17.  SELECTED QUARTERLY FINANCIAL DATA (UNAUDITED)
As described in Note 2, the financial statements for fiscal year 2004 and
fiscal year 2003 have been restated due to the correction of an accounting
error that resulted in the understatement of cost of products sold and
current liabilities, and the correction of the underaccrual of liabilities
related to a Death Benefits Program that had resulted in the understatement
of deferred taxes and other and selling, general, and administrative
expenses. The effect of these adjustments to the Company's previously
reported financial statement line items is detailed below.

                         ---------------------------
                (Dollars in thousands, except per share data)


As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the information
presented below for 2004 and 2003 has been restated due to the correction of
an accounting error that resulted in the understatement of cost of products
sold and current liabilities, and the correction of the underaccrual of
liabilities related to a Death Benefits Program that had resulted in the
understatement of deferred taxes and other and selling, general, and
administrative expenses.

MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
----------------------------------------------------

The management of Kellwood Company is responsible for the preparation of the
financial statements and other financial information included in this
report. Management believes that the consolidated financial statements
fairly reflect the form and substance of transactions and that the financial
statements reasonably present the Company's financial position and results
of operations in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Management has also included in the Company's financial statements amounts
that are based on estimates and judgments which it believes are reasonable
under the circumstances.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP audits the Company's consolidated financial
statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States).

The Board of Directors, through its Audit Committee consisting solely of
non-management directors, meets periodically with management, the internal
auditors and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to discuss accounting, control,
auditing and financial reporting matters. Both the internal auditors and
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP have direct access to the Audit Committee.

MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING (RESTATED)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining
adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined
in Exchange Act Rule 13a- 15(f).

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's
management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness
of its internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in
Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) as of January 29,
2005.

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control
deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material
misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be
prevented or detected. As of January 29, 2005, the Company did not maintain
effective controls over the completeness and accuracy of accruals for
freight, duty and agents' commission costs. Specifically, effective controls
were not designed and in place to ensure the complete and accurate
period-end accruals for freight, duty and agents' commission costs by the
regional accounting center, which affected accounts payable and costs of
products sold. This control deficiency resulted in the restatement of the
Company's fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2003 annual consolidated financial
statements and the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for
quarterly periods ended July 30, 2005, April 30, 2005, and all quarterly
periods in the years ended January 29, 2005 and January 31, 2004.
Additionally, this control deficiency, until remediated, could result in a
misstatement to the aforementioned accounts that would result in a material
misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that
would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, management has determined
that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.

In the Company's original filing of the 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K,
management concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control
over financial reporting as of January 29, 2005. However, in connection with
the restatement discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial
statements, management has determined that the material weakness described
above existed as of January 29, 2005. As a result of this material weakness,
management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective
internal control over financial reporting as of January 29, 2005 based on
criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by
the COSO. Accordingly, management has restated its report on internal
control over financial reporting.

Management's assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal
control over financial reporting as of January 29, 2005 has been audited by
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting
firm, as stated in their report which is included in Exhibit 13 to this Form
10-K/A (Amendment No. 2).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
-------------------------------------------------------

To the Shareowners and Board of Directors of Kellwood Company:

We have completed an integrated audit of Kellwood Company's 2004
consolidated financial statements and of its internal control over financial
reporting as of January 29, 2005 and audits of its 2003 and 2002
consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Our opinions,
based on our audits, are presented below.

Consolidated financial statements
---------------------------------

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related
consolidated statements of earnings, of cash flows and of shareowners'
equity present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Kellwood Company and its subsidiaries at January 29, 2005 and January 31,
2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years
ended January 29, 2005, January 31, 2004 and February 1, 2003 in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements
in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). 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 of financial statements includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company
has restated its 2004 and 2003 consolidated financial statements.

Internal control over financial reporting
-----------------------------------------

Also, we have audited management's assessment, included in Management's
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 8
and Item 9A, that the Company did not maintain effective internal control
over financial reporting as of January 29, 2005 because the Company did not
maintain effective controls over the completeness and accuracy of accruals
relating to freight, duty and agents' commission costs at a regional
accounting center, based on criteria established in Internal Control -
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of
the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for
maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on management's
assessment and on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over
financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal
control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. An
audit of internal control over financial reporting includes obtaining an
understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating
management's assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating
effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as
we consider necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed
to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's
internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and
procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in
reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance
that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made
only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the
company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or
timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial
statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM (continued)
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial
reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the
degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control
deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material
misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be
prevented or detected. As of January 29, 2005, the Company did not maintain
effective controls over the completeness and accuracy of accruals for
freight, duty and agents' commission costs. Specifically, effective controls
were not designed and in place to ensure the complete and accurate
period-end accruals for freight, duty and agents' commission costs at the
regional accounting center, which affected accounts payable and costs of
products sold. This control deficiency resulted in the restatement in the
Company's 2004 and 2003 annual consolidated financial statements and the
interim condensed consolidated financial statements for quarterly periods
ended July 30, 2005, April 30, 2005, and all quarterly periods in the years
ended January 29, 2005 and January 31, 2004. Additionally, this control
deficiency could result in a misstatement to the aforementioned accounts
that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim
consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
This material weakness was considered in evaluating the nature, timing and
extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2004 consolidated
financial statements, and our opinion regarding the effectiveness of the
Company's internal control over financial reporting does not affect our
opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Management and we previously concluded that the Company maintained effective
internal control over financial reporting as of January 29, 2005.Management
has determined that the material weakness described above existed as of
January 29, 2005. Accordingly, Management's Report on Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting has been restated and our opinion on internal control
over financial reporting, as presented herein, is different from that
expressed in our previous report.

In our opinion, management's assessment that the Company did not maintain
effective internal control over financial reporting as of January 29, 2005,
is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in
Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the COSO. Also, in our
opinion, because of the effect of the material weakness described above on
the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company did
not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of
January 29, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal
Control--Integrated Framework issued by the COSO.
