*    Luxury stores.* At December 31, 2004, we operatedthree *Barneys New York* flagship stores in prime retail locations in NewYork City, Beverly Hills and Chicago. The flagship stores, which average 136,667square feet, establish and promote *Barneys New York* as a leading retailerof men's and women's fashion. These stores offer customers a wide variety ofmerchandise, including apparel, accessories, cosmetics and items for the home,catering to affluent, fashion-conscious customers. We also seek to ensure thatthe ambience of our flagship stores reflects the luxury and distinct style ofthe merchandise that we sell. The flagship stores in New York and Beverly Hillsalso include restaurants managed by third-party contractors.

    At December 31, 2004, we operated three *Barneys NewYork* regional stores in Manhasset, NY, Seattle, WA and Chestnut Hill, MA.The regional stores, which average 12,133 square feet, provide a limitedselection of the merchandise offered in the flagship stores and cater to similarcustomers as our flagship stores in more localized markets.

    At December 31, 2004, we operated three *Barneys NewYork CO-OP* stores in New York City and one in Miami. These free-standingstores, which average 7,569 square feet, are an extension of the CO-OPdepartments in our flagship stores and focus on providing customers with aselection of high-end, contemporary, urban casual apparel and accessories, oftenat price points that are slightly lower than our non-CO-OP merchandise. CO-OPstores provide us with the opportunity to develop one of Barneys' fastestgrowing merchandise categories in a less capital intensive manner, relative toBarneys' other luxury stores. These stores give us the opportunity to enternew markets and expand in our existing markets, while broadening our client baseby targeting the younger designer customer. In addition, since we will beattracting our Barneys customer earlier in their life cycle, we also believethis format can serve as the initial entree for the shopper who will ultimatelydevelop into our regional and flagship store customer. Similar to our CO-OPdepartments, our CO-OP stores offer merchandise from established and emergingdesigners, as well as our *Barneys* label.

*    Outlet Stores.* At December 31, 2004, we operated atotal of 625 outlet stores. Our shoe stores focus on breadth of product line, aswell as value pricing, and offer a distribution channel for our residualinventories. The majority of the shoe stores' merchandise consists of newproduction of current and proven prior season's styles, with the remainder ofthe merchandise consisting of discontinued styles from our specialty retailfootwear stores and wholesale divisions. The apparel stores focus on breadth ofproduct line, customer service and value pricing. In addition to our brand namemerchandise, these stores also sell merchandise produced by our licensees. The *BarneysNew York* outlet stores leverage the *Barneys New York* brand to reach awider audience by providing a lower priced version of the sophistication, styleand quality of the retail experience provided in the luxury stores and alsoprovide a clearance vehicle for residual merchandise from the luxury stores.

The agreements provide for the payment by us of a percentage ofnet sales against guaranteed minimum royalty payments as set forth in theagreements.
**Design**
    Our apparel product lines have design teams that areresponsible for the creation, development and coordination of the product groupofferings within each line. We believe our design staff is recognized for itsdistinctive styling of garments and its ability to update fashion classics withcontemporary trends. Our apparel designers travel throughout the world forfabrics and colors, and stay continuously abreast of the latest fashion trends.In addition, we actively monitor the retail sales of our products to determineand react to changes in consumer trends.

    For most sportswear lines, we will develop several groupsin a season. A group typically consists of an assortment of skirts, pants,jeans, shorts, jackets, blouses, sweaters, t-shirts and various accessories. Webelieve that we are able to minimize design risks because we often will not havestarted cutting fabrics until the first few weeks of a major selling season.Since different styles within a group often use the same fabric, we canredistribute styles and, in some cases, colors, to fit current market demand. Wealso have a key item replenishment program for certain lines which consists ofcore products that reflect little variation from season to season.

    Our footwear and accessories product lines are developedby a combination of our own design teams and third-party designers, whichindependently interpret global lifestyle, clothing, footwear and accessoriestrends. To research and confirm such trends, the teams travel extensively inAsia, Europe and major American markets, conduct extensive market research onretailer and consumer preferences, and subscribe to fashion and colorinformation services. Each team presents styles that maintain each brand'sdistinct personality. Samples are refined and then produced. After the samplesare evaluated, lines are modified further for presentation at each season'sshoe shows and accessory markets.

    Our jewelry brands are developed by separate design teams.Each team presents styles that maintain each brand's distinct personality. Aprototype is developed for each new product where appropriate. Most prototypesare produced by our contractors based on technical drawings that we supply.These prototypes are reviewed by our product development team, who negotiatecosts with the contractors. After samples are evaluated and cost estimates arereceived, the lines are modified as needed for presentation for each sellingseason.

    We complement the designer merchandise in our luxurystores with a diverse selection of comparable quality *Barneys* labelmerchandise, including ready-to-wear apparel, handbags, shoes, dress shirts,ties and sportswear. *Barneys* label merchandise is manufactured byindependent third parties according to our specifications. We are intensivelyinvolved in all aspects of the design and manufacture of this collection.

    In accordance with standard industry practices forlicensed products, we have the right to approve the concepts and designs of allproducts produced and distributed by our licensees. Similarly, Polo Ralph Laurenprovides design services to us for our licensed products and has the right toapprove our designs for the *Polo Jeans Company* product line. Hilfiger,Givenchy and Levi Strauss & Co. also provide design services to us for ourlicensed products and have the right to approve our designs for the *TommyHilfiger,**Givenchy* and *Dockers Women* product lines,respectively.

**Manufacturing and Quality Control***Apparel*
    Apparel sold by us is produced in accordance with ourdesign, specification and production schedules through an extensive network ofindependent factories located in the United States and its territories, Mexico,China and other locations throughout the world. We also operate manufacturingfacilities of our own in Mexico. Approximately 18% of our apparel products weremanufactured in the United States and Mexico and 82% in other parts of the world(primarily Asia) during 2004. We source a portion of our products in CentralAmerica, enabling us to take advantage of shorter lead times than other offshorelocations due to proximity. Sourcing in this region enables us to utilizeexemptions under "807" customs regulations, which provide that certainarticles assembled abroad from United States components are exempt from UnitedStates duties on the value of these components.

    We believe that outsourcing a majority of our productsallows us to maximize production flexibility, while avoiding significant capitalexpenditures, work-in-process inventory build-ups and costs of managing a largerproduction work force. Our fashion designers, production staff and qualitycontrol personnel closely examine garments manufactured by contractors to ensurethat they meet our high standards.

    Our comprehensive quality control program is designed toensure that raw materials and finished goods meet our exacting standards.Substantially all of the fabric purchases for garments manufactureddomestically, in Mexico and in Central America are inspected upon receipt ineither our warehouse facilities (where they are stored prior to shipment forcutting) or at the contractor's warehouse. Fabrics for garments manufacturedoffshore are inspected by either independent inspection services or by ourcontractors upon receipt in their warehouses. Our quality control programincludes inspection of both prototypes of each garment prior to cutting by thecontractors and a sampling of production garments upon receipt at our warehousefacilities to ensure compliance with our specifications.

    Domestic contractors are supervised by our quality controlstaff based primarily in Pennsylvania. Our Mexican contractors are monitored byan in-house contractor operations group located in Mexico and other foreignmanufacturers' operations are monitored by our Hong Kong-based personnel,buying agents located in other countries and independent contractors andinspection services. Finished goods are generally shipped to our warehouses forfinal inspection and distribution.

    For our sportswear business, we generally supply the rawmaterial to our domestic manufacturers and occasionally to foreignmanufacturers. Otherwise, the raw materials are purchased directly by themanufacturer in accordance with our specifications. Raw materials, which are inmost instances made and/or colored especially for us, consist principally ofpiece goods and yarn and are purchased by us from a number of domestic andforeign textile mills and converters. Our foreign finished goods purchases aregenerally purchased on a letter of credit basis, while our domestic purchasesare generally purchased on open account.

    Our primary raw material in our jeanswear business isdenim, which is primarily purchased from leading mills located in the UnitedStates, Mexico, the Pacific Rim and Pakistan. Denim purchase commitments andprices are negotiated on a quarterly or semi-annual basis. We perform our ownextensive testing of denim, cotton twill and other fabrics to ensure consistencyand durability.

    We do not have long-term arrangements with any of oursuppliers. We have experienced little difficulty in satisfying our raw materialrequirements and consider our sources of supply adequate. Products havehistorically been purchased from foreign manufacturers in pre-set United Statesdollar prices, and therefore, we generally have not been adversely affected byfluctuations in exchange rates.

    Our apparel products are manufactured according to plansprepared each year which reflect prior years' experience, current fashiontrends, economic conditions and management estimates of a line's performance.We generally order piece goods concurrently with concept development. Thepurchase of piece goods is controlled and coordinated on a divisional basis.When possible, we limit our exposure to specific colors and fabrics bycommitting to purchase only a portion of total projected demand with options topurchase additional volume if demand meets the plan.

12

    We believe our extensive experience in logistics andproduction management underlies our success in coordinating with contractors whomanufacture different garments included within the same product group. We alsocontract for the production of a portion of our products through a network offoreign agents. We have had long-term mutually satisfactory businessrelationships with many of our contractors and agents but do not have long-termwritten agreements with any of them.
*Footwear and Accessories*
    To provide a steady source of inventory, we rely onlong-standing relationships developed by Nine West and Maxwell with footwearmanufacturers in Asia and Brazil, by Nine West with accessories manufacturers inAsia and by Victoria with jewelry manufacturers in Asia. We work throughindependent buying agents for footwear and our own offices for accessories andjewelry. Allocation of production among our manufacturing resources isdetermined based upon a number of factors, including manufacturing capabilities,delivery requirements and pricing.

    During 2004, approximately 88% of our footwear productswere manufactured by independent footwear manufacturers located in Asia(primarily China) and approximately 12% were manufactured by independently ownedfootwear manufacturers in Brazil. Our handbags and small leather goods aresourced through our own buying offices in Korea, China and Hong Kong, whichutilize independent third party manufacturers located primarily in China.Products have historically been purchased from the Brazilian and Asianmanufacturers in pre-set United States dollar prices, and therefore, wegenerally have not been adversely affected by fluctuations in exchange rates. Wedo not have contracts with any of our footwear, handbag or small leather goodsmanufacturers but, with respect to footwear imported from Brazil and China, werely on established relationships with our Brazilian and Chinese manufacturersdirectly and through our independent buying agents. For footwear, qualitycontrol reviews are done on-site in the factories by our third-party buyingagents primarily to ensure that material and component qualities and fit of theproduct are in accordance with our specifications. For accessories, qualitycontrol reviews are done on-site in the factories by our own locally-basedinspection technicians. Our quality control program includes approval ofprototypes, as well as approval of final production samples to ensure they meetour high standards.

    We believe that our relationships with our Brazilian andChinese manufacturers provide us with a responsive and adequate source of supplyof our products and, accordingly, give us a significant competitive advantage.We also believe that purchasing a significant percentage of our products inBrazil and China allows us to maximize production flexibility while limiting ourcapital expenditures, work-in-process inventory and costs of managing a largerproduction work force. Because of the sophisticated manufacturing techniques offootwear manufacturers, individual production lines can be quickly changed fromone style to another, and production of certain styles can be completed in asfew as four hours, from uncut leather to boxed footwear.

    We place our projected orders for each season's styleswith our manufacturers prior to the time we have received all of our customers'orders. Because of our close working relationships with our third partymanufacturers (which allow for flexible production schedules and production oflarge quantities of footwear within a short period of time), most of our ordersare finalized only after we have received orders from a majority of ourcustomers. As a result, we believe that, in comparison to our competitors, weare better able to meet sudden demands for particular designs, more quicklyexploit market trends as they occur, reduce inventory risk and more efficientlyfill reorders booked during a particular season.

    We do not have contracts with any of our jewelrymanufacturers but rely on long-standing relationships, principally withthird-party Asian manufacturers. We also have our own manufacturing facility tosatisfy demand for products manufactured domestically (such as cosmeticcontainers) and to provide product samples, prototypes, small quantities of testmerchandise and a small amount of production capacity in the event of adisruption of certain outsourced manufacturing. Victoria has historicallyexperienced little difficulty in satisfying finished goods requirements, and weconsider their source of supplies adequate. Products have historically beenpurchased from Asian manufacturers in pre-set United States dollar prices, andtherefore, we generally have not been adversely affected by fluctuations inexchange rates.

13

    During 2004, our jewelry products were manufacturedprimarily by independently-owned jewelry manufacturers in Asia. We believe thatthe quality and cost of products manufactured by our suppliers provide us withthe ability to remain competitive. Sourcing the majority of our products enablesus to better control costs and avoid significant capital expenditures, work inprocess inventory, and costs of managing a larger production workforce. Victoria'shistory as manufacturers gives them the requisite experience and knowledge tomanage their vendors effectively.

    Forecasts for basic jewelry products are produced on arolling 12-week basis and are adjusted based on point of sale information fromretailers. Manufacturing of fashion jewelry products is based on marketingforecasts and sales plans; actual orders are received several weeks after suchforecasts are produced. Quality control testing is performed either by privatefirms in the country of manufacture or on-site by domestic employees or our ownlocally-based inspection technicians. Quality assurance checks are alsoperformed upon receipt of finished goods at our distribution facilities.
**Workplace Compliance Program**
    We have an active program in place to monitor complianceby our contract manufacturers (in all product categories) with the Jones ApparelGroup Standards for Contractors and Suppliers ("Factory Standards").In 1996, we became a participant in the United States Department of Labor'sApparel Manufacturer's Compliance Program Agreement. Under that agreement, andthrough independent agreements with domestic and foreign manufacturers thatproduce products for us, we regularly audit for compliance with our FactoryStandards and require corrective action when appropriate. In 2003, we alsoinitiated a more active training program for contractors.

    Our Factory Standards, which we have posted on ourwebsite, apply to conditions of employment, such as child labor, wages andbenefits, working hours and days off, health and safety conditions in theworkplace and housing, forced labor, discrimination, disciplinary practices andfreedom of association.

    We have a vigorous factory-auditing program. During 2004,1,364 audits were conducted (including 915 by independent auditors), includingdomestic and foreign factories for apparel, footwear, handbag and jewelryproducts. Our Compliance Auditing staff consists of 15 auditors based in threecountries. Thirteen auditors claim English as a second language, and virtuallyall are multi-lingual and have at least a bachelor's degree from a four-yearinstitution in the United States or abroad. In addition to our own staff, weretain several recognized, unaffiliated workplace compliance audit firms toconduct factory audits on our behalf and to report on such findings, includingrecommendations for remediation.

    During 2003, we initiated a more training-based approachwith our contract manufacturers. In China, we funded a mobile training vanprogram run by an independent monitoring firm, in which approximately 20factories were visited several times during the year, providing worker trainingin the following topics: nutrition, reproductive health for female workers,psychology and interpersonal relationships, social skills, our FactoryStandards, prevention and cure of SARS, calculation of wage and working hoursentitlements, and occupational health and safety. These topics were addressedthrough lectures, group discussions and group exhibits performed by theindependent monitor's staff or local experts with relationships to themonitor.

    Expanding on our introduction in 2003 of a moretraining-based approach, in 2004 we funded training for an initial period of sixmonths with ten footwear factories. This training is being conducted by aChina-based labor compliance consulting organization. It addresses setting uppolicies and procedures with the factories and communicating their policies andprocedures throughout the factory workforce. Examples of their policies andprocedures are grievance procedures and hiring, promotion, termination andharassment prevention policies. The ten factories have committed to another sixmonths of additional training, focusing on production planning to reduce thenumber of working hours. Jones is funding one-half of the second six months oftraining in these ten factories. In addition to the ten footwear factories, wehave funded training for 14 accessories factories for an initial six months thatis similar to the footwear factory initial training program. These trainingprograms began in October and November 2004.

14

    Jones is also providing ongoing support (but not funding)for six apparel factories that have engaged the same China-based laborcompliance consulting organization. For 2005, eight additional factories are inthe process of engaging the same compliance consulting organization for aninitial six months of consulting services.

    Jones utilizes five factories in Lesotho which have beenpart of an Employee Relations Improvement Program conducted by a localIndustrial Relations expert from South Africa. The program was presented at aconference for textile and apparel industries in Lesotho in May 2004, co-hostedby the Commark Trust and the Lesotho National Development Corporation. Thesefive factories and any other factories we may use in Lesotho in the future areeligible for public funding through the Commark Trust to continue the EmployeeRelations Improvement Program. The Commark Foundation Trust received its initialfunding from the UK's Department for International Development.

    In 2003, we funded remediation training for approximatelyten factories in Guatemala to address previously unfavorable audit results,specifically verbal harassment of workers. Also at our expense in 2003, amonitor provided an interpersonal relationship training program to workers attwo facilities in Vietnam on our behalf, and a general code of conductinformational session for representatives of all footwear factories in China(some of the same factories being visited by the mobile van), bringing in localgovernment representatives to provide detailed information on the local laborcode requirements for working hours and wages.

    Obtaining compliance with our Factory Standards is, inmany instances, a very challenging process. We deal with many factories in manycountries, each with legal systems and cultures far different from those of theUnited States. Our auditing program invariably reports problems of varyingdegrees in almost all factories. Our approach, in virtually all cases, has beento attempt to improve conditions through directions to remediate the citedconditions and to conduct follow-up audits, rather than to cease using a givenfactory, which would assuredly result in severe hardship for the employeesworking at those factories. We believe that progress and improvement, althoughincremental, is quite real.
**Marketing**
    During 2004, no single customer accounted for more than10% of sales; however, certain of our customers are under common ownership. Whenconsidered together as a group under common ownership, sales to seven departmentstore customers currently owned by The May Department Stores Company("May") accounted for approximately 14% of 2004 sales, and sales toeight department store customers currently owned by Federated Department Stores,Inc. ("Federated") accounted for approximately 12% of 2004 sales. Ourten largest customer groups accounted for approximately 59% of sales in 2004. Webelieve that purchasing decisions are generally made independently by individualdepartment stores within a commonly controlled group. There has been a trend,however, toward more centralized purchasing decisions. As such decisions becomemore centralized, the risk to us of such concentration increases. Furthermore,we believe a trend exists among our major customers to concentrate purchasingamong a narrowing group of vendors. In addition, in recent years the retailindustry has experienced consolidation and other ownership changes. In thefuture, retailers may have financial problems or consolidate, undergorestructurings or reorganizations, or realign their affiliations, any of whichcould increase the concentration of our customers. We attempt to minimize ourcredit risk from our concentration of customers by closely monitoring accountsreceivable balances and shipping levels and the ongoing financial performanceand credit status of our customers.

    Sportswear products are marketed to department stores andspecialty retailing customers during "market weeks," which aregenerally four to six months in advance of the corresponding industry sellingseasons. While we typically will allocate a six-week period to market asportswear line, most major orders are written within the first three weeks ofany market period.

    We believe retail demand for our apparel products isenhanced by our ability to provide our retail accounts and consumers withknowledgeable sales support. In this regard, we have an established program toplace retail sales specialists in many major department stores for many of ourbrands, including *Jones New York*, *Jones New York Sport,**JonesNew York Signature, Polo Jeans Company, Kasper* and *Anne Klein*. Theseindividuals have been trained by us to support the sale of our products byeducating other store personnel

15

and consumers about our products and by coordinating our marketing activitieswith those of the stores. In addition, the retail sales specialists provide uswith firsthand information concerning consumer reactions to our products. Inaddition, we have a program of designated sales personnel in which a storeagrees to designate certain sales personnel who will devote a substantialportion of their time to selling our products in return for certain benefits.

    We introduce new collections of footwear at industry-wideshoe shows, held semi-annually in both New York City and Las Vegas. We alsopresent an interim line to customers during the fall and spring of each year. Weintroduce new handbag and small leather goods collections at market shows thatoccur five times each year in New York City. Jewelry products are marketed inNew York City showrooms through individual customer appointments and at fiveindustry-wide market shows each year. Retailers visit our showrooms at thesetimes to view various product lines and merchandise.

    We market our footwear, handbag and small leather goodsbusinesses with certain department stores and specialty retail stores bybringing our retail and sales planning expertise to those retailers. Under thisprogram, members of branded division management who have extensive retailbackgrounds work with the retailer to create a "focus area" or"concept shop" within the store that displays the full collection of asingle brand in one area. These individuals assist the department and specialtyretail stores by: providing advice about appropriate product assortment andproduct flow; making recommendations about when a product should be re-ordered;providing sales guidance, including the training of store personnel; anddeveloping advertising programs with the retailer to promote sales of ourproducts. In addition, our sales force and field merchandising associates forfootwear, handbags and small leather goods recommend how to display ourproducts, assist with merchandising displays and educate store personnel aboutus and our products. The goal of this approach is to promote high retail sell-throughsof our products. With this approach, customers are encouraged to devote greaterselling space to our products, and we are better able to assess consumerpreferences, the future ordering needs of our customers, and inventoryrequirements.

    We work closely with our wholesale jewelry customers tocreate long-term sales programs, which include choosing among our diverseproduct lines and implementing sales programs at the store level. A team ofsales representatives and sales managers monitor product performance againstplan and are responsible for inventory management, using point-of-saleinformation to respond to shifts in consumer preferences. Management uses thisinformation to adjust product mix and inventory requirements. In addition, fieldmerchandising associates recommend how to display our products, assist withmerchandising displays and educate store personnel about us and our products.Retailers are also provided with customized displays and store-levelmerchandising designed to maximize sales and inventory turnover. By providingretailers with in-store product management, we establish close relationshipswith retailers, allowing us to maximize product sales and increase floor spaceallocated to our product lines. We have also placed retail sales specialists inmajor department stores to support the sale of our *Napier, Nine West,Givenchy, Tommy Hilfiger* and *Judith Jack* jewelry products*.*
**Advertising and Promotion**
    We employ a cooperative advertising program for ourbranded products, whereby we share the cost of certain wholesale customers'advertising and promotional expenses in newspapers, magazines and other media upto either a preset maximum percentage of the customer's purchases or anagreed-upon rate of contribution. An important part of the marketing programincludes prominent displays of our products in wholesale customers' salescatalogs as well as in-store shop displays.

    We have national advertising campaigns for the followingbrands:
- Jones New York  Collection , Jones New York Sport  and  Jones    New York Signature  (in fashion and lifestyle magazines),
- Nine West  (footwear, apparel, handbags, jewelry and licensed    products, primarily in fashion magazines),
- Easy Spirit  (primarily in fashion, lifestyle, health and fitness    magazines),
- Nine & Company  (in fashion magazines through co-op advertising  efforts),
- Bandolino  (in fashion magazines) ,

16
- Gloria Vanderbilt  (in fashion and trade magazines),
- Glo  (in fashion magazines),
- l.e.i.  (in lifestyle and fashion magazines and radio),
- Anne Klein New York  and  AK Anne Klein  (in fashion magazines),
- Kasper  (in fashion magazines),
- Jeanstar  (in fashion magazines) and
- the licensed  Polo Jeans Company  line (in fashion and lifestyle    magazines).

    Given the strong recognition and brand loyalty alreadyafforded our brands, we believe these campaigns will serve to further enhanceand broaden our customer base. Except for *Polo Jeans Company*, ourin-house creative services departments oversee the conception, production andexecution of virtually all aspects of these activities. We also believe that ourretail network promotes brand name recognition and supports the merchandising ofcomplete lines by, and the marketing efforts of, our wholesale customers.
**Licensing of Company Brands**
    We have entered into various license agreements underwhich independent licensees either manufacture, market and sell certain productsunder our trademarks in accordance with designs furnished or approved by us ordistribute our products in certain countries where we do not do business. Theselicenses, the terms of which (not including renewals) expire at various datesthrough 2015, typically provide for the payment to us of a percentage of thelicensee's net sales of the licensed products against guaranteed minimumroyalty payments, which typically increase over the term of the agreement. Weare also a party to licensing arrangements pursuant to which two retail storesare operated in Japan and a single in-store department is operated in Singaporeunder the name *Barneys New York*.

    We carefully monitor trademark expiration dates to provideuninterrupted registration of our material trademarks. We also license the *PoloJeans Company by Ralph Lauren, Givenchy, Tommy Hilfiger, Dockers Women, J. G.Hook*and *Hook Sport* trademarks (see "Licensed Brands"above).

    We also hold numerous patents expiring at various datesthrough 2019 (subject to payment of annuities and/or periodic maintenance fees)and have additional patent applications pending in the United States Patent andTrademark Office. We regard our trademarks and other proprietary rights asvaluable assets which are critical in the marketing of our products. Wevigorously monitor and protect our trademarks and patents against infringementand dilution where legally feasible and appropriate.
**Imports and Import Restrictions**
    Our transactions with our foreign manufacturers andsuppliers are subject to the risks of doing business abroad. Imports into theUnited States are affected by, among other things, the cost of transportationand the imposition of import duties and restrictions. The United States, China,Brazil and other countries in which our products are manufactured may, from timeto time, impose new quotas, duties, tariffs or other restrictions, or adjustpresently prevailing quotas, duty or tariff levels, which could affect ouroperations and our ability to import products at current or increased levels. Wecannot predict the likelihood or frequency of any such events occurring.

    Our import operations are subject to constraints imposedby bilateral textile agreements between the United States and a number offoreign countries, including Hong Kong, Taiwan, the Philippines, Thailand,Indonesia and South Korea. In certain cases, these agreements impose quotas onthe amount and type of goods which can be imported into the United States fromthese countries. Such agreements also allow the United States to impose, at anytime, restraints on the importation of categories of merchandise that, under theterms of the agreements, are not subject to specified limits. Our importedproducts are also subject to United States customs duties and, in the ordinarycourse of business, we are from time to time subject to claims by the UnitedStates Customs Service for duties and other charges.

20

    We monitor duty, tariff and quota-related developments andcontinually seek to minimize our potential exposure to quota-related risksthrough, among other measures, geographical diversification of our manufacturingsources, the maintenance of overseas offices, allocation of overseas productionto merchandise categories where more quota is available and shifts of productionamong countries and manufacturers.

    Because our foreign manufacturers are located at greatergeographic distances from us than our domestic manufacturers, we are generallyrequired to allow greater lead time for foreign orders, which reduces ourmanufacturing flexibility. Foreign imports are also affected by the high cost oftransportation into the United States and the effects of fluctuations in thevalue of the dollar against foreign currencies in certain countries.

    In addition to the factors outlined above, our futureimport operations may be adversely affected by political instability resultingin the disruption of trade from exporting countries and restrictions on thetransfer of funds.
**Backlog**
    We had unfilled customer orders of approximately $1.5billion and $1.4 billion at December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003,respectively. These amounts include both confirmed and unconfirmed orders whichwe believe, based on industry practice and past experience, will be confirmed.The amount of unfilled orders at a particular time is affected by a number offactors, including the mix of product, the timing of the receipt and processingof customer orders and scheduling of the manufacture and shipping of theproduct, which in some instances is dependent on the desires of the customer.Backlog is also affected by a continuing trend among customers to reduce thelead time on their orders. Due to these factors, as well as the acquisition ofMaxwell during 2004, a comparison of unfilled orders from period to period isnot necessarily meaningful and may not be indicative of eventual actualshipments.
**Competition**
    Apparel, footwear and accessories companies facecompetition on many fronts, including the following:
- establishing and maintaining favorable brand recognition;
- developing products that appeal to consumers;
- pricing products appropriately; and
- obtaining access to retail outlets and sufficient floor space.

    Competition is intense in the sectors of the apparel,footwear and accessory and retail industries in which we participate. We competewith many other manufacturers and retailers, some of which are larger and havegreater resources than we do.

    We compete primarily on the basis of fashion, price andquality. We believe our competitive advantages include our ability to anticipateand respond quickly to changing consumer demands, our brand names and range ofproducts and our ability to operate within the industries' production anddelivery constraints. Furthermore, our established brand names and relationshipswith retailers have resulted in a loyal following of customers.

    While new entrants come into markets we serve on a regularbasis, we consider the risk of formidable new competitors to be low due tobarriers to entry, such as significant startup costs, the long-term nature ofsupplier and customer relations and the need to develop both adequate financialresources and an efficient operational infrastructure.

    We believe that, during the past few years, majordepartment stores and specialty retailers have been increasingly sourcingproducts from suppliers who are well capitalized or have established reputationsfor delivering quality merchandise in a timely manner. However, there can be noassurance that significant new competitors will not develop in the future.

    We sublease approximately 200,000 square feet of our WhitePlains facilities and a 220,000 square foot warehouse facility in Teterboro, NewJersey to independent companies. Our Australian joint venture company leasesoffice and distribution facilities in Australia.

    We also own two production facilities totaling 101,000square feet in Durango, Mexico which are currently not in service.

    Our retail stores are leased pursuant to long-term leases,typically five to seven years for apparel and footwear outlet stores, ten yearsfor footwear and accessories and apparel specialty stores and ten to 20 yearswith multiple ten-year renewal options for our luxury stores. Certain leasesallow us to terminate our

22

obligations after a predetermined period (generally one to three years) inthe event that a particular location does not achieve specified sales volume,and some leases have options to renew. Many leases include clauses that providefor contingent payments based on sales volumes, and many leases containescalation clauses for increases in operating costs and real estate taxes.

    We believe that our existing facilities are wellmaintained, in good operating condition and that our existing and plannedfacilities will be adequate for our operations for the foreseeable future.
**ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS**
    In October 1995, we acquired an exclusive license tomanufacture and market women's shirts, blouses, skirts, jackets, suits,sweaters, pants, vests, coats, outerwear and hats under the *Lauren by RalphLauren* ("*Lauren*") trademark in the United States, Canadaand Mexico pursuant to license and design service agreements with Polo(collectively, the "*Lauren* License"), which were to expire onDecember 31, 2006. In May 1998, we acquired an exclusive license to manufactureand market women's dresses, shirts, blouses, skirts, jackets, suits, sweaters,pants, vests, coats, outerwear and hats under the *Ralph by Ralph Lauren*("*Ralph*") trademark in the United States, Canada and Mexicopursuant to license and design service agreements with Polo (the "*Ralph*License"). The *Ralph* License was scheduled to end on December 31,2003.

    During the course of the discussions concerning the *Ralph*License, Polo asserted that the expiration of the *Ralph* License wouldcause the *Lauren* License agreements to end on December 31, 2003, insteadof December 31, 2006. We believe that this is an improper interpretation andthat the expiration of the *Ralph* License did not cause the *Lauren*License to end.

    On June 3, 2003, we announced that our discussions withPolo regarding the interpretation of the *Lauren* License had reached animpasse and that, as a result, we had filed a complaint in the New York StateSupreme Court against Polo and its affiliates and our former President, JackwynNemerov. The complaint alleges that Polo breached the *Lauren* Licenseagreements by claiming that the license ends at the end of 2003. The complaintalso alleges that Ms. Nemerov breached the confidentiality and non-competeprovisions of her employment agreement with us. Additionally, Polo is alleged tohave induced Ms. Nemerov to breach her employment agreement and Ms. Nemerov isalleged to have induced Polo to breach the *Lauren* License agreements. Weasked the court to enter a judgment for compensatory damages of $550 million, aswell as punitive damages, and to enforce the confidentiality and non-competeprovisions of Ms. Nemerov's employment agreement. On June 3, 2003, Polo alsofiled a complaint in the New York State Supreme Court against us, seeking amongother things a declaratory judgment that the *Lauren* License terminated asof December 31, 2003. On June 25, 2003, we filed an amended complaint adding aclaim against Ms. Nemerov for conversion, which alleges that Ms. Nemerovwrongfully took and possesses documents containing confidential informationregarding us.

    On October 2, 2003, Ms. Nemerov filed a motion to stay ourclaims against her and to compel arbitration of those claims. We opposed thatmotion. Additionally, on July 3, 2003, Polo served a motion on us to dismiss ourbreach of contract claim, and to stay our claim regarding inducement of Ms.Nemerov's breach of her employment agreement pending the outcome ofarbitration. On July 8, 2003, we served papers opposing Nemerov's motion. OnJuly 23, 2003, we served papers opposing Polo's motion and also served uponPolo a motion seeking summary judgment in Polo's action for a declaratoryjudgment. On August 12, 2003, Polo filed a cross-motion for summary judgment inthat action.

    On March 15, 2004, the Court issued a decision resolvingthe motions. The Court denied Polo's motion to dismiss our breach of contractclaim, granted our motion for summary judgment in Polo's action for adeclaratory judgment, and denied Polo's cross-motion for summary judgment inthe same action. As a result, the Court dismissed Polo's action for adeclaratory judgment and entered judgment in our favor in that action, whilepermitting our action against Polo to proceed.

    The Court also denied Nemerov's motion to compelarbitration of our claim against her for inducing Polo to breach the *Lauren*Agreements, but granted her motion to compel arbitration of our remaining claimsagainst her. The Court granted Polo's motion for a stay of proceedingsrelating to our claim against Polo for

23

inducing Nemerov to breach her employment agreement while those claims arearbitrated by us and Nemerov. We dismissed our claims against Nemerov in thelitigation and are pursuing our claims against her in the arbitration.

    Polo and Nemerov have appealed from these rulings. Inaddition, Polo filed a motion for leave to reargue and to renew its previousmotions to dismiss and for summary judgment, which we opposed. On April 16,2004, the Court heard oral argument on Polo's motion. On August 16, 2004, thecourt denied Polo's motions to reargue and renew its previous motions. Polohas appealed from this ruling.

    On May 12, 2004, we initiated a Demand for Arbitrationwith the American Arbitration Association against Ms. Nemerov. The demandalleges Ms. Nemerov breached her employment agreement with us, violated herfiduciary duties and converted our property. Ms. Nemerov has denied theseallegations and asserted counterclaims for defamation and breach of thenon-disparagement and indemnification clauses of her employment agreement. OnAugust 24, 2004, we amended our demand to add a claim for misappropriation oftrade secrets. Ms. Nemerov continues to deny our claims and to pursue hercounterclaims.

    We have been named as a defendant in various actions andproceedings arising from our ordinary business activities. Although the amountof any liability that could arise with respect to these actions cannot beaccurately predicted, in our opinion, any such liability will not have amaterial adverse financial effect on us.

**ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'SDISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**
    The following discussion provides information and analysisof our results of operations from 2002 through 2004, and our liquidity andcapital resources. The following discussion and analysis should be read inconjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhereherein.
**Overview**
    We design, contract for the manufacture of, manufactureand market a broad range of women's collection sportswear, suits and dresses,casual sportswear and jeanswear for men, women and children, and women'sfootwear and accessories. We sell our products through a broad array ofdistribution channels, including better specialty and department stores and massmerchandisers, primarily in the United States and Canada. We also operate ourown network of retail and factory outlet stores. In addition, we license the useof several of our brand names to select manufacturers and distributors of women'sand men's apparel and accessories worldwide.
**Trends**
    We believe that two significant trends are occurring inthe women's apparel, footwear and accessories industry. We believe that atrend exists among our major retail accounts to concentrate their women'sapparel, footwear and accessories buying among a narrowing group of vendors andto differentiate their product offerings through exclusivity of brands. We alsobelieve that consumers in the United States and Canada are shopping less indepartment stores (our traditional distribution channel) and more in otherchannels, such as specialty shops and mid-tier locations where value isperceived to be higher. We have responded to these trends by enhancing the brandequity of our labels through our focus on design, quality and value, and throughstrategic acquisitions which provide significant diversification to the businessby successfully adding new distribution channels, labels and product lines (suchas the*Gloria Vanderbilt,**l.e.i., Kasper, Albert Nipon, AK Anne Klein*,*Anne Klein New York, Joan & David, Mootsies Tootsies*and*Sam &Libby* brands and the *Barneys New York* retail stores). Through thisdiversification, we have evolved into a multidimensional resource in apparel,footwear and accessories. We have leveraged the strength of our brands toincrease both the number of locations and amount of selling space in which ourproducts are offered, to introduce product extensions such as the *Jones NewYork Signature*, *Nine West*, *Nine & Company,**Easy Spirit*and *Bandolino* apparel labels and the *Jones New York* accessorylabel, and to reposition the *Bandolino* and *Evan-Picone* labels tothe moderate market segment.

    On January 1, 2005, the World Trade Organization's 148member nations lifted all quotas on apparel and textiles. As a result, alltextiles and textile apparel manufactured in a member nation and exported on orafter January 1, 2005 will no longer be subject to quota restrictions. This willallow retailers, apparel firms and others to import unlimited quantities ofapparel and textile items from China, India and other low-cost countries. Theeffects of this action could lead to lower production costs or allow us toimprove the quality of our products for a given cost and could also allow us toconcentrate production in the most efficient markets. China, however, hasimplemented an export tax on many of the items previously subject to quotarestriction. In addition, litigation and political activity has been initiatedby interested parties seeking to re-impose quotas. As a result, we are unable topredict the long-term effects of the lifting of quota restrictions and relatedevents on our results of operations.
**Risk Factors**
    There are certain risks and uncertainties that could causeactual results and events to differ materially from those anticipated. Risks anduncertainties that could adversely affect us include, without limitation, thefollowing factors:
- the apparel, footwear and accessories industries are highly competitive,    and any increased competition could result in reduced sales or prices (or    both);       
- we may not be able to respond to changing fashion and retail trends in a    timely manner;

28
- a prolonged period of depressed consumer spending;       
- the loss of any of our largest customers;       
- the loss or infringement of our trademarks or other proprietary rights;       
- the extent of our foreign operations and manufacturing;       
- fluctuations in the price, availability and quality of raw materials; and       
- damage to our customer relationships resulting from delays or quality    issues, or damage to our reputation resulting from any failure to comply    with our factory workplace standards, caused by our reliance on independent    manufacturers.
**Acquisitions**
    We completed our acquisitions of Gloria Vanderbilt onApril 8, 2002, l.e.i. on August 15, 2002, Kasper on December 1, 2003, Maxwell onJuly 8, 2004 and Barneys on December 20, 2004. The results of operations of theacquired companies are included in our operating results from the respectivedates of acquisition. Accordingly, the financial position and results ofoperations presented and discussed herein are not directly comparable betweenyears. Kasper operates primarily in the wholesale better apparel and retailsegments, Gloria Vanderbilt and l.e.i. operate in the wholesale moderate apparelsegment, Maxwell operates in the wholesale footwear and accessories segment andBarneys operates in the retail segment.
**Restructuring and Other Charges**
    During 2002, we recorded a $31.9 million charge relatingto contractual obligations under employment contracts, primarily for formerPresident Jackwyn Nemerov and former Vice Chairman Irwin Samelman. The chargesunder these contracts are comprised of pre-tax amounts totaling $11.8 millionfor contractual salary and bonus obligations and $18.1 million for non-cashcompensation expense resulting from contractual vesting of outstanding stockoptions and restricted stock. Also included is a pre-tax amount of $2.0 millionrelated to certain obligations under the employment agreement that we enteredinto with Peter Boneparth when we acquired McNaughton in 2001. These obligationswere satisfied in March 2002 when Mr. Boneparth was elected President anddesignated to become our Chief Executive Officer on May 22, 2002.

    Also during 2002 we restructured several of our existingoperations to reduce both excess capacity and overhead costs, including theclosing of Canadian and Mexican production facilities and the closing of anadministrative, warehouse and preproduction facility in El Paso, Texas. As aresult, we recorded restructuring charges of $8.8 million, including $5.0million of employee severance and related costs, $3.3 million of assetimpairments (based on estimated market values of the affected properties) and$0.5 million of other costs. Of these charges, $0.9 million is reported as aselling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense in thewholesale better apparel segment, $6.9 million is reported as an SG&Aexpense in the wholesale moderate apparel segment and $1.0 million is reportedas an SG&A expense in the wholesale footwear and accessories segment.

    During 2003, we further restructured our operations byannouncing the closing of a warehouse facility in Rural Hall, North Carolina,which resulted in a charge of $0.7 million for employee severance and relatedcosts which is reported as an SG&A expense in the wholesale better segment.This charge was offset by a reversal of $0.2 million of employee severance costaccruals in the wholesale footwear and accessories segment.

    In 2004, we recorded an additional net restructuringcharge of $1.5 million as an SG&A expense in the wholesale better apparelsegment, which reflects a $1.7 million lease termination payment related to theNorth Carolina facility offset by a $0.2 million reduction in accruals for theclosing of the Canadian facility.

**Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets**
    In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwilland Other Intangible Assets," which changed the accounting for goodwill andother intangible assets from an amortization method to an impairment-onlyapproach. Upon our adoption of SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002, we ceasedamortizing our trademarks without determinable lives and our goodwill. Asprescribed under SFAS No. 142, we had our goodwill and trademarks tested forimpairment during the first fiscal quarter of 2002.

    Due to market conditions resulting from a sluggish economycompounded by the aftereffects of the events of September 11, 2001, we revisedour earnings forecasts for future years for several of our trademarks andlicenses. As a result, the fair market value of these assets (as appraised by anindependent third party) was lower than their carrying value as of December 31,2001. We accordingly recorded an after-tax impairment charge of $13.8 million,which is reported as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principleresulting from the adoption of SFAS No. 142.

    In the second fiscal quarter of 2002, we recorded anadditional impairment charge of $5.8 million related to two trademarks due to adecrease in projected accessory revenues resulting from a further evaluation ofour costume jewelry business. We have our annual impairment test for goodwilland trademarks performed in the fourth fiscal quarter of the year. As a resultof continuing decreases in projected revenues in our costume jewelry lines, theconversion of a portion of our *Enzo Angiolini* retail stores to the moremoderately-priced *Bandolino* brand and the discontinuance of our *RenaRowan* better apparel line, we recorded additional trademark impairmentcharges of $18.6 million in 2002, $4.5 million in 2003 and $0.2 million in 2004.These charges are reported as an SG&A expense in the licensing, other andeliminations segment.
**Termination as of December 31, 2003 of Licenses with Polo for *Lauren*and *Ralph* Brands**
    The *Ralph* License with Polo was scheduled to end onDecember 31, 2003. During the course of the discussions concerning the *Ralph*License, Polo asserted that the expiration of the *Ralph* License wouldcause the *Lauren* License to end on December 31, 2003, instead of December31, 2006. We believe that this is an improper interpretation and that theexpiration of the *Ralph* License did not cause the *Lauren* Licenseto end.

    On June 3, 2003, we announced that our discussions withPolo regarding the interpretation of the *Lauren* License had reached animpasse and that, as a result, we had filed a complaint in the New York StateSupreme Court against Polo and its affiliates (see "LegalProceedings"). The complaint alleges that Polo breached the *Lauren*License agreements by claiming that the license ends at the end of 2003. Weasked the Court to enter a judgment for compensatory damages of $550 million aswell as punitive damages. On June 3, 2003, Polo also filed a complaint in theNew York State Supreme Court against us, seeking among other things adeclaratory judgment that the *Lauren* License terminated as of December31, 2003. On July 3, 2003, Polo served a motion to dismiss our breach ofcontract claim. On July 23, 2003, we served papers opposing Polo's motion andalso served upon Polo a motion seeking summary judgment in Polo's action for adeclaratory judgment. On August 12, 2003, Polo filed a cross-motion for summaryjudgment in that action.

    On March 15, 2004, the Court issued a decision resolvingthe motions. The Court denied Polo's motion to dismiss our breach of contractclaim, granted our motion for summary judgment in Polo's action for adeclaratory judgment, and denied Polo's cross-motion for summary judgment inthe same action. As a result, the Court dismissed Polo's action for adeclaratory judgment and entered judgment in our favor in that action, whilepermitting our action against Polo to proceed. Polo has appealed from theserulings. In addition, Polo filed a motion for leave to reargue and to renew itsprevious motions to dismiss and for summary judgment, which we opposed. OnAugust 16, 2004, the court denied Polo's motions to reargue and renew itsprevious motions. Polo has appealed from this ruling.

    We assert within the complaint that Polo's actions fullydischarged our obligations under the *Lauren* License agreements for linesto be sold after December 31, 2003. Therefore, we ceased development of *Lauren*products effective with the Spring 2004 season. Our *Lauren* businessrepresented a significant portion of our sales and profits. Net sales of *Lauren*products were $476.4 million for 2003. The termination of our exclusive right tomanufacture and market clothing under this trademark in the United States,Canada and elsewhere will have a material adverse effect on our results ofoperations after 2003. To replace the sales of the *Lauren*

30

brand, we have pursued other opportunities, including internal brands(including the new lifestyle brand under the *Jones New York Signature*label), acquisitions (including the Kasper acquisition) and licensing options,some of which we previously were precluded from exploring under agreements withPolo. The loss of the *Lauren* License has not materially adverselyimpacted our liquidity, and we continue to have a strong financial position.

    The expiration of the *Ralph* License has not beenmaterial to us in any respect. Net sales of *Ralph* products were $30.7million for 2003.

    We and Polo have agreed that, in connection with theexpiration of the *Ralph* License, related licenses to produce certain *PoloJeans Company* and *Polo Ralph Lauren* products in Canada terminated asof December 31, 2003. The termination of these Canadian licenses has not beenmaterial to us in any respect. Net sales of all products under these Canadianlicenses were $41.3 million for 2003. The dispute between us and Polo does notrelate to the *Polo Jeans* License in the United States, and an end to theCanada Licenses does not end our longer term *Polo Jeans* License in theUnited States or otherwise adversely affect the *Polo Jeans* License in theUnited States.
**Stock-Based Compensation**
    Effective January 1, 2003, we adopted the fair valuemethod of accounting for employee stock options for all options granted afterDecember 31, 2002 pursuant to the guidelines contained in SFAS No. 123,"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" using the "prospectivemethod" set forth in SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-BasedCompensation - Transition and Disclosure." Under this approach, the fairvalue of the option on the date of grant (as determined by the Black-Scholesoption pricing model) is amortized to compensation expense over the option'svesting period. Since the expense to be recorded is dependent on both the timingand the number of options to be granted, we cannot estimate the effect on futureresults of operations at this time. Prior to January 1, 2003, pursuant to aprovision in SFAS No. 123 we had elected to continue using the intrinsic-valuemethod of accounting for stock options granted to employees in accordance withAccounting Principles Board Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued toEmployees." Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options had beenmeasured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of our stock at thedate of the grant over the amount the employee must pay to acquire the stock.Under this approach, we had only recognized compensation expense for stock-basedawards to employees for options granted at below-market prices. For moreinformation, see "Summary of Accounting Policies - Stock Options" inNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
**Critical Accounting Policies**
    Several of our accounting policies involve significantjudgements and uncertainties. The policies with the greatest potential effect onour results of operations and financial position include the estimatedcollectibility of accounts receivable, the recovery value of obsolete oroverstocked inventory and the estimated fair values of both our goodwill andintangible assets with indefinite lives.

    For accounts receivable, we estimate the netcollectibility, considering both historical and anticipated trends of tradediscounts and co-op advertising deductions taken by our customers, allowances weprovide to our retail customers to flow goods through the retail channels, andthe possibility of non-collection due to the financial position of ourcustomers. For inventory, we estimate the amount of goods that we will not beable to sell in the normal course of business and write down the value of thesegoods to the recovery value expected to be realized through off-price channels.Historically, actual results in these areas have not been materially differentthan our estimates, and we do not anticipate that our estimates and assumptionsare likely to materially change in the future. However, if we incorrectlyanticipate trends or unexpected events occur, our results of operations could bematerially affected.

    We utilize independent third-party appraisals to estimatethe fair values of both our goodwill and our intangible assets with indefinitelives. These appraisals are based on projected cash flows and interest rates;should interest rates or our future cash flows differ significantly from theassumptions used in these projections, material impairment losses could resultwhere the estimated fair values of these assets become less than their carryingamounts.

**2004 Compared to 2003**

***    Revenues.*** Total revenues for 2004 were $4.65billion compared to $4.38 billion for 2003, an increase of 6.3%.

    Revenues by segment were as follows:
(In millions)            2004     2003     Increase     Percent  Change     Wholesale better apparel$ 1,493.2   $ 1,475.0   $ 18.2   1.2%   Wholesale moderate apparel1,315.3   1,310.2   5.1   0.4%   Wholesale footwear and accessories1,002.4   868.3   134.1   15.4%   Retail 780.3 685.6 94.7 13.8% Licensing and other58.5   36.2   22.3   61.6%      Total revenues$ 4,649.7  $ 4,375.3  $ 274.4  6.3%  
    Wholesale better apparel revenues were impacted by thediscontinuance of the *Lauren* and *Ralph* businesses (a decrease of$535.9 million including the Canadian *Polo* business) which was offset byshipments of the new *Jones New York Signature* line ($176.3 million) andthe product lines added as a result of the Kasper acquisition ($349.2 million).Planned decreases in shipments of the *Polo Jeans Company*product line andthe discontinuance of the *Rena Rowan* better product line were partiallyoffset by increased shipments of *Jones New York* Collection and *NineWest* products, as well as the initial shipments of the *AK Sport*product line.

    Wholesale moderate apparel revenues increased as a resultof higher shipments of our *Energie,**Gloria Vanderbilt* and *Bandolino*product lines and the initial shipments of our *A|Line* product, mostlyoffset by reduced shipments of our *Norton McNaughton,**Evan-Picone*and *l.e.i.* product lines as well as planned decreases in our privatelabel denim businesses.

    Wholesale footwear and accessories revenues increasedprimarily due to the product lines added as a result of the Maxwell acquisition($92.5 million) as well as higher shipments of our *Nine West* and *Bandolino*footwear and our *Nine West* accessories product line, the introduction of *Bandolino*accessories, and the inclusion of the *Anne Klein* accessories product lineobtained in the Kasper acquisition, as well as an increase in our internationalfootwear business. These increases were partially offset by reductions inshipments of our *Easy Spirit* footwear product line.

32

    Retail revenues increased primarily due to same storesales increasing 1.6% for footwear and accessories stores and 3.8% forready-to-wear outlet stores as compared to 2003, $14.2 million from the additionof the *Jones New York Signature* product line to our apparel outlet storesand $62.5 million and $19.3 million, respectively, in sales from locations addedas a result of the Kasper and Barneys acquisitions. We began 2004 with 990retail locations, added 21 locations as a result of the Barneys acquisition andhad a net addition of 26 apparel and footwear locations during 2004 to end theperiod with 1,037 locations.

***    Gross Profit.*** The gross profit margindecreased to 36.7% in 2004 compared to 37.4% in 2003.

    Wholesale better apparel gross profit margins were 34.2%and 38.0% for 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease was a result of thediscontinuance of the *Lauren* product line (which carried higher marginsthan the historical segment average) and the addition of the acquired Kasperbusiness (which generated lower margins than the historical segment average),partially offset by shipments of the new *Jones New York Signature* line(which carries higher margins than the historical segment average). Margins werealso negatively impacted by a higher level of markdowns and lower off-pricerecoveries than the prior year. Cost of sales for 2004 included $4.1 millionrelated to adjustments required under purchase accounting to write up acquiredKasper inventories to market value.

    Wholesale moderate apparel gross profit margins were 26.1%and 26.0% for 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase is primarily the resultof increased shipping in the higher-margin *Gloria Vanderbilt*productline.

    Wholesale footwear and accessories gross profit marginswere 33.5% and 33.8% for 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease was drivenprimarily by the increase in our lower-margin international business and $6.0million of adjustments required under purchase accounting to write up acquiredMaxwell inventories to market value. The negative impact of these items waspartially offset by improved margins in our wholesale accessories and costumejewelry businesses.

    Retail gross profit margins were 53.3% and 54.5% for 2004and 2003, respectively. The decrease was primarily the result of the effects ofthe addition of the acquired Kasper apparel retail outlets and Barneys retaillocations, which generate lower margins than the historical segment average, aswell as a higher level of promotional activity in our domestic retail stores andlower margins in our Canadian retail outlets.

***    SG&A Expenses.*** SG&A expenses of$1.18 billion in 2004 represented an increase of $120.0 million from the $1.06billion reported for 2003. In 2004, Kasper added $96.8 million to the wholesalebetter apparel segment, which includes $8.0 million of amortization of thepurchase price assigned to acquired customer orders, and $22.4 million to theretail segment; Maxwell added $26.8 million to the wholesale footwear andaccessories segment, which includes $13.9 million of amortization of thepurchase price assigned to acquired customer orders; and Barneys added $5.7million to the retail segment. We also recorded an $8.4 million writeoff ofunamortized bond discounts and debt issuance costs in the wholesale betterapparel segment resulting from the redemption of all of our outstanding ZeroCoupon Notes. Increases in expenses in our *Gloria Vanderbilt* and retailbusinesses were related to the volume growth of these business over the prioryear. These increases were offset by a $66.2 million reduction in royalty andadvertising expenses resulting from the discontinuance of the *Lauren* and *Ralph*businesses.

***    Operating Income.*** The resulting operatingincome for 2004 of $528.4 million decreased 8.9%, or $51.4 million, from the$579.8 million for 2003, due to the factors described above.

***    Net Interest Expense.*** Net interest expensewas $49.3 million in 2004 compared to $55.3 million in 2003. This was primarilya result of lower overall borrowings during 2004 and a favorable interest ratedifferential resulting from replacing our Zero Coupon Notes and 7.50% SeniorNotes due 2004 with short-term borrowings under our Senior Credit Facilities.

***    Provision for Income Taxes.*****Theeffective income tax rate was 37.5% for 2004 and 37.65% for 2003. The differenceis primarily driven by a favorable change in the state and local effective taxrate resulting from various legal entity reorganizations and businessinitiatives.

***    Net Income and Earnings Per Share.*** Netincome was $301.8 million in 2004, a decrease of $26.8 million from the netincome of $328.6 million earned in 2003. Diluted earnings per share for 2004 was$2.39 compared to $2.48 for 2003, on 7.3% fewer shares outstanding.
**2003 Compared to 2002

*    Revenues.* Total revenues for 2003 were $4.38 billion compared to $4.34 billion for 2002,an increase of 0.8%.

    Revenues by segment were as follows:
****(In millions)            2003     2002     Increase/(Decrease)     Percent  Change     Wholesale better apparel$ 1,475.0   $ 1,636.4   $ (161.4)  (9.9%)  Wholesale moderate apparel1,310.2   1,093.5   216.7   19.8%   Wholesale footwear and accessories868.3       882.3   (14.0)  (1.6%)  Retail 685.6  700.0 (14.4)(2.1%)Licensing and other36.2   28.7   7.5   26.1%      Total revenues$ 4,375.3  $ 4,340.9  $ 34.4  0.8%  
    Wholesale better apparel revenues declined primarily asthe result of a decrease in shipments and increased customer allowances of our *PoloJeans,**Lauren* and *Ralph* businesses. Planned decreases in *JonesNew York* career and decreased shipments in our *Jones New York Sport*and *Rena Rowan* products were partially offset by increases in our *NineWest, Jones New York Suit*and *Easy Spirit* apparel product lines aswell as the product lines added as a result of the Kasper acquisition.

    Wholesale moderate apparel revenues increased primarily asa result of the product lines obtained as a result of the Gloria Vanderbilt andl.e.i. acquisitions. Increases were also realized in the *Nine & Company*business during 2003, which were offset by reduced shipments of our *JonesWear, Energie, Evan-Picone* and *Erika* products.

    The wholesale footwear and accessories business wasplanned conservatively in light of the uncertain retail climate. These plannedreductions significantly impacted shipments of our *Nine West* accessoriesand *Enzo Angiolini*footwear product lines, which were somewhat offset bynew product lines, including *ESPRIT* and *Gloria Vanderbilt* in boththe footwear and accessories product categories, as well as the growth of our *Bandolino*footwear line and our *Nine West* international business.

    Retail revenues decreased primarily due to comparablestore sales decreasing approximately 2.3% for footwear and accessories storesand 4.3% for ready-to-wear outlet stores as compared to 2002. The overalldecreases were a result of a lack of consumer traffic and the challenging retailenvironment for most of 2003, although consumer traffic in our footwear storesimproved considerably during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2003, and a netreduction of five footwear stores and a consolidation of 12 apparel stores from2002.

***    Gross Profit.*** The gross profit margindecreased to 37.4% in 2003 compared to 38.8% in 2002.

    Wholesale better apparel gross profit margins were 38.0%and 41.3% for 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease was a result of higherlevels of sales through the off-price channel and increased discounts andcustomer allowances provided to our retail customers in relation to thediscontinuance of our *Lauren* business. This decrease was partially offsetby improved performance of the *Jones New York* career products at retail,resulting in lower levels of customer allowances, as well as a higher percentageof sales of our product lines to regular customers at full-price and a lowerpercentage of sales through the off-price channel. Cost of sales for 2003included $3.4 million related to adjustments required under purchase accountingto write up acquired inventories to market value.

34

    Wholesale moderate apparel gross profit margins were 26.0%and 27.0% for 2003 and 2002, respectively. The margin for the current period wasimpacted by a higher level of customer allowances as a result of higherpromotions at our retail customers, as well as a higher ratio of off-price tofull-price sales during the period. Cost of sales for 2002 included $23.1million related to adjustments required under purchase accounting to write upacquired inventories to market value.

    Wholesale footwear and accessories gross profit marginswere 33.8% and 32.0% for 2003 and 2002, respectively. The margin increase, whichoccurred principally in our costume jewelry business, was driven by ourinventory liquidation plan in 2002 and an emphasis on maintaining lowerinventory levels, which resulted in lower sales through the off-price channel.This increase was partially offset by challenges in our *Nine West*accessories business that resulted in a higher level of customer allowances tomaintain the flow of inventory through the retail channel. Margins alsodecreased in the *Nine West*, *Easy Spirit* and *Bandolino*footwear product lines due to a higher level of customer allowances and a higherpercentage of sales through the off-price channel.

    Retail gross profit margins were 54.5% and 53.2% for 2003and 2002, respectively. The increase was primarily the result of improvedinventory planning which resulted in a higher percentage of full-price sales andlower promotional activity in our retail stores.

***    SG&A Expenses.*** SG&A expenses of$1.06 billion in 2003 represented a decrease of $36.4 million from the $1.09billion reported for 2002. In 2003, Kasper added $6.7 million to the wholesalebetter apparel segment, which includes $1.1 million in amortization of acquiredcustomer orders, and $2.7 million to the retail segment. Gloria Vanderbilt andl.e.i. added a total of $28.2 million to the wholesale moderate apparel segmentto 2003, which was somewhat offset by a $26.1 million reduction in our privatelabel denim business (a result of restructuring and integrating its operationsinto l.e.i.). The reorganization of our costume jewelry business also reducedoverhead costs by $17.6 million from the prior year. The remaining declinerepresents tighter cost controls across the wholesale businesses and leveragingthe corporate infrastructure across the organization, eliminating duplicativeexpenses in our new acquisitions. In 2003 we recorded trademark impairments of$4.5 million in the licensing, other and eliminations segment related primarilyto the discontinuance of our *Rena Rowan* better product line. The priorperiod reflected $31.9 million of executive compensation costs and a $24.4million writedown of *Enzo Angiolini* footwear and costume jewelrytrademarks in the licensing, other and eliminations segment.

***    Operating Income.*** The resulting operatingincome for 2003 of $579.8 million decreased 1.8%, or $10.8 million, from the$590.6 million for 2002, due to the factors described above.

***    Net Interest Expense.*** Net interest expensewas $55.3 million in 2003 compared to $58.1 million in 2002. This was primarilya result of both lower interest rates and lower average borrowings in 2003 ascompared to 2002.

***    Provision for Income Taxes.*****Theeffective income tax rate was 37.65% for 2003 and 37.7% for 2002. The differenceis primarily the result of an $8.5 million deferred valuation allowanceestablished in 2003 for capital loss carryforwards that will likely expireunused, offset by an $8.7 million reversal of prior year tax accruals as theresult of the completion of Internal Revenue Service audits of our federal taxreturns through 2000.

***    Net Income and Earnings Per Share.*** Netincome was $328.6 million in 2003, an increase of $10.1 million from the netincome of $318.5 million earned in 2002. Diluted earnings per share for 2003 was$2.48 compared to $2.36 for 2002, on 1.8% fewer shares outstanding.
**Liquidity and Capital Resources**
    Our principal capital requirements have been to fundacquisitions, pay dividends, working capital needs, capital expenditures andrepurchases of our common stock on the open market. We have historically reliedon internally generated funds, trade credit, bank borrowings and the issuance ofnotes to finance our operations and expansion. As of December 31, 2004, totalcash and cash equivalents were $45.0 million, a decrease of $305.0 million fromthe $350.0 million reported as of December 31, 2003.

35

    Operating activities provided $461.9 million, $455.0million and $716.5 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

    The change from 2003 to 2004 was primarily due to higherlevels of non-cash expenses in 2004 (such as depreciation, amortization anddeferred taxes) as compared to the prior year. The level of accounts receivable(net of acquisitions) did not significantly change in 2004 compared to thedecrease reported for 2003, due to lower wholesale shipments in some of ourmoderate businesses, the loss of the Polo Licenses in our Canadian business, andseasonal differences related to our Maxwell acquisition, offset by an increasein our Kasper business. Inventories decreased in 2004 compared to an increase in2003 due to improved inventory management in several of our moderate businessesalong with seasonal differences related to our Maxwell and Barneys acquisitions.

    The change from 2002 to 2003 was primarily due to asmaller decrease in accounts receivable in 2003 than in 2002 and a smallincrease in inventory in 2003 compared to a decrease in 2002. While accountsreceivable turns improved in 2003 compared to 2002, the reduction in 2003 wasless than in 2002 due primarily to the collection of acquired l.e.i. receivablesin 2002. The change in inventory was due to increases required for new productlaunches (including *Jones New York Signature, Gloria Vanderbilt Career*and*Bandolino*apparel) and planned increases in certain wholesalemoderate and accessories businesses, which were offset by improved inventoryturns in our wholesale better apparel segment and by reductions resulting fromthe discontinuance of *Lauren* and *Ralph*.

    Investing activities used $629.4 million, $274.5 millionand $368.7 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increase for 2004from 2003 was primarily due to higher payments for acquisitions related toMaxwell and Barneys. The decrease for 2003 from 2002 was primarily due to loweracquisition-related payments in 2003 than in 2002.

    During 2003, we entered into a sale-leaseback agreementfor our Virginia warehouse facility. The gross sale price was $25.9 million,which resulted in a net gain of $7.5 million that has been deferred and is beingamortized over the 20-year term of the lease agreement (which has been recordedas a capital lease). In connection with this transaction, we repaid $7.4 millionof long-term debt related to the Virginia warehouse facility.

    Financing activities used $138.1 million in 2004. OnFebruary 2, 2004, we redeemed all of our outstanding Zero Coupon Notes at aredemption price (inclusive of issue price plus accrued original issue discount)of $554.41 per $1,000 of principal amount at maturity for a total payment of$446.6 million, which was financed primarily through our Senior CreditFacilities. As a result of this transaction, we recorded an SG&A expense of$8.4 million in 2004, representing the writeoff of unamortized bond discountsand debt issuance costs. The securities carried a 3.5% yield to maturity with aface value of $805.6 million ($1,000 per note) and were convertible into commonstock at a conversion rate of 9.8105 shares per note. On June 15, 2004, weredeemed at maturity all our 7.50% Senior Notes due 2004 at par for a totalpayment of $175.0 million.

    In November 2004, we issued $250.0 million of 4.250%Senior Notes due 2009, $250.0 million of 5.125% Senior Notes due 2014 and $250.0million of 6.125% Senior Notes due 2034. Net proceeds of the offerings were$743.5 million, which were used to fund the acquisition of Barneys, to redeem$102.3 million of Barneys' outstanding 9% Senior Secured Notes due 2008 and torepay amounts then outstanding under our Senior Credit Facilities. In connectionwith the 4.250% Senior Notes due 2009 and the 5.125% Senior Notes due 2014, wehad entered into two interest rate lock agreements which were terminated uponthe issuance of the notes. These terminations resulted in a gain of $0.2million, which is being amortized as a reduction of interest expense over theterm of the related notes.

    Financing activities used $114.7 million in 2003. Theprimary uses of cash were to repurchase our common stock and pay dividends toour common shareholders.

    Financing activities used $141.1 million in 2002,primarily to refinance $43.7 million and $83.2 million of debt assumed as partof the acquisitions of Gloria Vanderbilt and l.e.i., respectively, and torepurchase our common stock. In addition, we redeemed the remaining $0.1 millionof Nine West Group's 9% Senior

36

Subordinated Notes Due 2007 in September 2002 at 104.5% of par. These uses offunds were partially offset by $118.4 million in proceeds from the issuance ofcommon stock to our employees exercising stock options.

    We repurchased $194.9 million, $108.7 million and $129.2million of our common stock on the open market during 2004, 2003 and 2002,respectively. As of December 31, 2004, a total of $858.6 million had beenexpended under announced programs to acquire up to $1.0 billion of such shares.We may make additional share repurchases in the future depending on, among otherthings, market conditions and our financial condition. Proceeds from theissuance of common stock to our employees exercising stock options amounted to$35.5 million, $20.5 million and $118.4 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002,respectively.

    At December 31, 2004, we had credit agreements withseveral lending institutions to borrow an aggregate principal amount of up to$1.5 billion under Senior Credit Facilities. These facilities, of which theentire amount is available for letters of credit or cash borrowings, provide fora $500.0 million three-year revolving credit facility (which was reduced from$700.0 million in June 2004 and expires in June 2006) and a $1.0 billionfive-year revolving credit facility (which replaced a similar $700.0 millionfive-year revolving credit facility in June 2004). At December 31, 2004, $69.2million in cash borrowings was outstanding under the three-year revolving creditfacility and $367.8 million in outstanding letters of credit was outstandingunder our five-year revolving credit facility. Borrowings under the SeniorCredit Facilities may also be used for working capital and other generalcorporate purposes, including permitted acquisitions and stock repurchases. TheSenior Credit Facilities are unsecured and require us to satisfy both a coverageratio of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent tointerest expense plus rents and a net worth maintenance covenant, as well asother restrictions, including (subject to exceptions) limitations on our abilityto incur additional indebtedness, prepay subordinated indebtedness, makeacquisitions, enter into mergers and pay dividends.

    In addition to these committed facilities, we haveunsecured uncommitted lines of credit for the purpose of issuing letters ofcredit and bankers' acceptances for Kasper and Maxwell. As of December 31,2004, $27.9 million in letters of credit were outstanding under these lines ofcredit.

    At December 31, 2004, we also had a C$15.0 millionunsecured line of credit in Canada, under which no amounts were outstanding.

    Our credit ratings of BBB from Standard & Poor's andBaa2 from Moody's contribute to our ability to successfully access globalcapital markets. Each rating is considered investment grade. While we havemaintained these ratings since our first public debt offering in 1998, Moody'shas recently revised our rating outlook to negative as a result of the Barneysacquisition. Any downgrade of our debt rating by Moody's could increase theinterest rates charged under our Senior Credit Facilities and could impact ourability to access capital markets in the future.

    In July 2001, December 2001 and August 2002, we enteredinto transactions relating to the short sale of $139.0 million, $157.9 millionand $190.5 million, respectively, of U. S. Treasury securities. Thesetransactions were intended to address interest rate exposure and generatecapital gains that could be used to offset previously incurred capital losses.These transactions closed in November 2001, August 2002 and May 2003,respectively. There are no present intentions to enter into any furthertransactions. See "Short Term Bond Transactions" in Notes toConsolidated Financial Statements.

    We recorded minimum pension liability adjustments of $2.6million, $3.1 million and $10.8 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, toother comprehensive income resulting from the lowering of the discount rate from6.1% to 5.8% in 2004 and from 6.5% to 6.1% in 2003 and both the negative returnson our investments and the lowering of the anticipated rate of future returnsfrom 9.0% to 8.0% in 2002. Our plans are currently underfunded by a total of$14.8 million. As the benefits under our defined benefit plans are frozen withrespect to service credits, the effects on future pension expense are notanticipated to be material to our results of operations or to our liquidity.

    On December 20, 2004, we completed the acquisition ofBarneys. The aggregate cash purchase price was $294.5 million (of which $3.1million was paid in January 2005), which included $19.00 for each outstandingshare of Barneys (for a total of $264.5 million) and $26.7 million related toBarneys' employee stock options,

37

preferred stock and stock warrants. We also assumed approximately $106.0million of Barneys funded debt, $102.2 million of which we subsequentlyrefinanced.

    On July 8, 2004, we completed the acquisition of Maxwell.The aggregate cash purchase price was $377.1 million, which included $23.25 foreach outstanding share of Maxwell common stock (for a total of $345.8 million)and $24.1 million related to Maxwell's employee stock options.

    On December 1, 2003, we completed the acquisition ofKasper. The aggregate cash purchase price was $259.5 million, of which $37.8million was paid in the first fiscal quarter of 2004.

    On August 16, 2002, we completed the acquisition of l.e.i.The aggregate purchase price was approximately $309.7 million, which includedpayments to the selling shareholders of $272.5 million in cash and the issuanceof approximately 1.0 million shares of our common stock. We also assumedapproximately $84.0 million of l.e.i.'s funded debt and accrued interest,$83.2 million of which we subsequently refinanced. Pursuant to the AmendedAcquisition Agreement, the selling shareholders were entitled to a $2.2 millionpayment as additional consideration, which was made in 2003.

    On April 8, 2002, we completed the acquisition of GloriaVanderbilt. The aggregate purchase price was approximately $100.9 million, whichincluded payments to the selling shareholders of $80.9 million in cash and theissuance of approximately 0.6 million shares of our common stock. We alsoassumed approximately $43.7 million of Gloria Vanderbilt's funded debt andaccrued interest, which we subsequently refinanced. The terms of the acquisitionagreement for Gloria Vanderbilt required us to pay the former Gloria Vanderbiltshareholders additional consideration of $4.50 for each $1.00 of GloriaVanderbilt's earnings before interest and taxes (as defined in the stockpurchase agreement) that exceeded certain targeted levels for the 12 monthsfollowing the completion of the acquisition, up to a maximum of $54.0 million.The maximum additional consideration was paid in cash on July 7, 2003 and wasrecorded first as a reduction of the liability resulting from the fair value ofassets acquired exceeding the purchase price, with the remaining balance beingrecorded as goodwill.

    On February 16, 2005, we announced that the Board ofDirectors had declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share to allcommon stockholders of record as of March 2, 2005 for payment on March 11, 2005.
**Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements**
    We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements withinthe meaning of SEC Regulation S-K Item 303(a)(4).
**Contractual Obligations and Contingent Liabilities and Commitments**
    The following is a summary of our significant contractualobligations for the periods indicated that existed as of December 31, 2004, and,except for purchase obligations and other long-term liabilities, is based oninformation appearing in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (amountsin millions).

                     (1) Future rental commitments for leases have not been reduced by        minimum non-cancelable sublease rentals aggregating $40.8 million.                    (2) Includes outstanding letters of credit of $395.7 million, which        primarily represent inventory purchase commitments which typically        mature in two to six months.                    (3) Under exclusive licenses to manufacture certain items under        trademarks not owned by us pursuant to various license and design        service agreements, we are obligated to pay the licensors a percentage        of our net sales of these licensed products, subject to minimum        scheduled royalty and advertising payments.
    We have two joint ventures with HCL Technologies Limitedto provide us with computer consulting, programming and associated supportservices. As of December 31, 2004, we have committed to purchase $10.5 millionin services from these joint venture companies through June 30, 2007.

    We also have a joint venture with Sutton Developments Pty.Ltd. ("Sutton") to operate retail locations in Australia. We haveunconditionally guaranteed up to $7.0 million of borrowings under the jointventure's uncommitted credit facility and up to $0.4 million of presettlementrisk associated with foreign exchange transactions. Sutton is required toreimburse us for 50% of any payments made under these guarantees. At December31, 2004, the outstanding balance subject to these guarantees was approximately$0.8 million.

    We occupy warehouse and office facilities leased from theCity of Lawrenceburg, Tennessee. Two ten-year net leases run until July 2005 andMay 2006, respectively, and require minimum annual rent payments of $0.5 millioneach plus accrued interest. In connection with these leases, we guaranteed $10.0million of Industrial Development Bonds issued in order to construct thefacilities, $1.0 million of which remained unpaid as of December 31, 2004. Weobtain title to these facilities upon expiration of the leases.

    We believe that funds generated by operations, proceedsfrom the issuance of notes, the Senior Credit Facilities and the Kasper, Maxwelland Canadian lines of credit will provide the financial resources sufficient tomeet our foreseeable working capital, dividend, capital expenditure and stockrepurchase requirements and fund our contractual obligations and our contingentliabilities and commitments.

**New Accounting Standards**
    In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151,"Inventory Costs," which clarifies the accounting for abnormal amountsof idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material(spoilage) by requiring these items to be recognized as current-period charges.SFAS No. 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal yearsbeginning after June 15, 2005, with earlier application permitted. The adoptionof SFAS No. 151 will have no impact on our results of operations or ourfinancial position.

    In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153,"Exchanges of Monetary Assets," which addresses the measurement ofexchanges of nonmonetary assets and eliminates the exception from fair valuemeasurement for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replacesit with an exception for exchanges that do not have commercial substance. SFASNo. 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periodsbeginning after June 15, 2005, with earlier application permitted. The adoptionof SFAS No. 153 will have no impact on our results of operations or ourfinancial position.

    In December 2004, the FASB issued a revision of SFAS No.123, "Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised2004)," which requires that the cost resulting from all share-based paymenttransactions be recognized in the financial statements. This Statementestablishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting forshare-based payment arrangements and requires all entities to apply afair-value-based measurement method in accounting for share-based paymenttransactions with employees except for equity instruments held by employee shareownership plans. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of the firstinterim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. The adoptionof SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) will not have a material effect on our results ofoperations or our financial position.

**Market Risk Sensitive Instruments**

    The market risk inherent in our financial instrumentsrepresents the potential loss in fair value, earnings or cash flows arising fromadverse changes in interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates. We managethis exposure through regular operating and financing activities and, whendeemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. Ourpolicy allows the use of derivative financial instruments for identifiablemarket risk exposures, including interest rate and foreign currencyfluctuations. We do not enter into derivative financial contracts for trading orother speculative purposes. The following quantitative disclosures were derivedusing quoted market prices, yields and theoretical pricing models obtainedthrough independent pricing sources for the same or similar types of financialinstruments, taking into consideration the underlying terms, such as the couponrate, term to maturity and imbedded call options. Certain items such as leasecontracts, insurance contracts, and obligations for pension and otherpost-retirement benefits were not included in the analysis.
*Interest Rates*
    Our primary interest rate exposures relate to our fixedand variable rate debt. The potential decrease in fair value of our fixed ratelong-term debt instruments resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change ininterest rates was approximately $101.8 million at December 31, 2004.

    The primary interest rate exposures on floating ratefinancing arrangements are with respect to United States and Canadian short-termrates. We had approximately $1.5 billion in variable rate financing arrangementsat December 31, 2004. As of December 31, 2004, a hypothetical immediate 10%adverse change in interest rates, as they relate to the cash borrowings thenoutstanding under our variable rate financial instruments, would have a $0.4million unfavorable impact over a one-year period on our earnings and cashflows.
*Foreign Currency Exchange Rates*
    We are exposed to market risk related to changes inforeign currency exchange rates. We have assets and liabilities denominated incertain foreign currencies and purchase products from foreign suppliers whorequire payment in funds other than the U.S. Dollar. At December 31, 2004, wehad outstanding foreign exchange contracts to exchange Canadian Dollars for atotal of US$12.0 million at a weighted-average exchange rate of 1.2291 throughJune 2005, US $24.7 million for Euros at a weighted-average exchange rate of1.3683 through December 2005 and US $1.6 million for British Pounds at aweighted-average exchange rate of 1.9138 through October 2005. We believe thatthese financial instruments should not subject us to undue risk due to foreignexchange movements because gains and losses on these contracts should offsetlosses and gains on the assets, liabilities, and transactions being hedged. Weare exposed to credit-related losses if the counterparty to a financialinstrument fails to perform its obligation. However, we do not expect thecounterparties, which presently have high credit ratings, to fail to meet theirobligations.

Jones Apparel Group, Inc.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

**SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
*Basis of Presentation   * The consolidated financial statements include theaccounts of Jones Apparel Group, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. Allsignificant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Theresults of operations of acquired companies are included in our operatingresults from the respective dates of acquisition.

    We design, contract for the manufacture of, manufactureand market a broad range of women's collection sportswear, suits and dresses,casual sportswear and jeanswear for men, women and children, and women'sfootwear and accessories. We sell our products through a broad array ofdistribution channels, including better specialty and department stores and massmerchandisers, primarily in the United States and Canada. We also operate ourown network of luxury, retail and factory outlet stores. In addition, we licensethe use of several of our brand names to select manufacturers and distributorsof women's and men's apparel and accessories worldwide.

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity withaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States requiresmanagement to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts ofassets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities atthe date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues andexpenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from theseestimates.
*Credit Risk    Financial instruments which potentially subject us toconcentration of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investmentsand accounts receivable. We place our cash and cash equivalents ininvestment-grade, short-term debt instruments with high quality financialinstitutions and the U.S. Government and, by policy, limit the amount of creditexposure in any one financial instrument. We perform ongoing credit evaluationsof our customers' financial condition and, generally, require no collateralfrom our customers. The allowance for non-collection of accounts receivable isbased upon the expected collectibility of all accounts receivable.

    We also provide credit to certain retail customers throughan in-house *Barneys New York* credit card program. We perform ongoingcredit reviews of our credit card accounts. Accounts are generally written offautomatically after 180 days have passed without receipt of a full scheduledmonthly payment and are written off sooner in the event of bankruptcy or otherfactors that make collection seem unlikely. We estimate an allowance foruncollectibility using a model that considers the current aging of the accounts,historical write-off and recovery rates and other portfolio data. Concentrationof credit risk is limited because of the large number of credit card accounts.
*Derivative Financial Instruments    Our primary objectives for holding derivative financialinstruments are to manage foreign currency and interest rate risks. We do notuse financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes. We havehistorically used derivative financial instruments to hedge both the fair valueof recognized assets or liabilities (a "fair value" hedge) and thevariability of anticipated cash flows of a forecasted transaction (a "cashflow" hedge). Our strategies related to derivative financial instrumentshave been:
- the use of foreign currency forward contracts to hedge a portion of    anticipated future short-term inventory purchases to offset the effects of    changes in foreign currency exchange rates (primarily between the U.S.    Dollar and the Canadian Dollar, the Euro and the British Pound);       
- the use of interest rate swaps to effectively convert a portion of our    outstanding fixed-rate debt to variable-rate debt to take advantage of lower    interest rates; and       
- the use of treasury rate locks to fix forward the treasury rate component    of a portion of our November 2004 debt offering that was priced based on the    prevailing applicable treasury rate and credit spread at the time the debt    offering was finalized.

46

    The derivatives we use in our risk management strategiesare highly effective hedges because all the critical terms of the derivativeinstruments match those of the hedged item. On the date the derivative contractis entered into, we designate the derivative as either a fair value hedge or acash flow hedge. Changes in derivative fair values that are designated as fairvalue hedges are recognized in earnings as offsets to the changes in fair valueof the related hedged assets and liabilities. Changes in derivative fair valuesthat are designated as cash flow hedges are deferred and recorded as a componentof accumulated other comprehensive income until the associated hedgedtransactions impact the income statement, at which time the deferred gains andlosses are reclassified to either cost of sales for inventory purchases or to SG&Aexpenses for all other items. Any ineffective portion of a hedging derivative'schange in fair value will be immediately recognized in SG&A expenses.Differentials to be paid or received under interest rate contracts arerecognized in income over the life of the contracts as adjustments to interestexpense. Gains or losses generated from the early termination of interest ratecontracts and treasury locks are amortized to earnings over the remaining termsof the contracts as adjustments to interest expense. The fair values of thederivatives are reported as other current assets or accrued expenses and othercurrent liabilities, as appropriate.
*Accounts Receivable    Accounts receivable are reported at amounts we expect tobe collected, net of trade discounts and deductions for co-op advertisingnormally taken by our customers, allowances we provide to our retail customersto effectively flow goods through the retail channels, an allowance fornon-collection due to the financial position of our customers and credit cardaccounts, and an allowance for estimated sales returns.
*Inventories    Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market.Approximately 50%, 37% and 13% of inventories were determined by using the FIFO(first in, first out), weighted average cost and retail methods of valuation,respectively, as of December 31, 2004 and approximately 58%, 40% and 2% ofinventories were determined by using the FIFO, weighted average cost and retailmethods of valuation, respectively, as of December 31, 2003. We make provisionsfor obsolete or slow moving inventories as necessary to properly reflectinventory value.
*Property, Plant, Equipment and Depreciation and Amortization    Depreciation and amortization are computed by thestraight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leaseholdimprovements are amortized using the straight-line method over the life of thelease or the useful life of the improvement, whichever is shorter. Propertyunder capital leases is amortized over the lives of the respective leases or theestimated useful lives of the assets.
*Operating Leases    Total rent payments under operating leases that includescheduled payment increases and rent holidays are amortized on a straight-linebasis over the term of the lease. Rent expense on our buildings and retailstores is classified as an SG&A expense and, for certain stores, includescontingent rents that are based on a percentage of retail sales over statedlevels. Landlord allowances are amortized by the straight-line method over theoriginal term of the lease as a reduction of rent expense.
*Goodwill and Other Intangibles    Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over thefair value of net assets acquired in business combinations accounted for underthe purchase method of accounting. Goodwill recorded in connection withacquisitions had been amortized using the straight-line method over 30 yearsprior to December 31, 2001. Other intangibles with determinable lives, includinglicense agreements, are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimateduseful lives of the assets. Other intangible assets without determinable lives,such as trademarks, had been amortized using the straight-line method overperiods primarily ranging from 15 to 30 years prior to December 31, 2001. SFASNo. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," changed theaccounting for goodwill and other intangible assets without determinable livesfrom an amortization method to an impairment-only approach and, accordingly, weannually test goodwill and other intangibles without determinable lives forimpairment through the use of independent third-party appraisals.

47

*Foreign Currency Translation   * The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries aretranslated into U.S. dollars in accordance with SFAS No. 52, "ForeignCurrency Translation." Where the functional currency of a foreignsubsidiary is its local currency, balance sheet accounts are translated at thecurrent exchange rate and income statement items are translated at the averageexchange rate for the period. Gains and losses resulting from translation areaccumulated in a separate component of stockholders' equity. Where the localcurrency of a foreign subsidiary is not its functional currency, financialstatements are translated at either current or historical exchange rates, asappropriate. These adjustments, along with gains and losses on currencytransactions, are reflected in the consolidated statements of income. Netforeign currency gains (losses) reflected in the consolidated statements ofincome were $(1.9) million, $1.3 million and $(0.6) million in 2004, 2003 and2002, respectively.
*Defined Benefit Plans    Our funding policy is to make the minimum annualcontributions required by applicable regulations.
*Treasury Stock    Treasury stock is recorded at net acquisition cost. Gainsand losses on disposition are recorded as increases or decreases to additionalpaid-in capital with losses in excess of previously recorded gains chargeddirectly to retained earnings.
*Revenue Recognition    Wholesale apparel and footwear and accessories sales arerecognized either when products are shipped or, in certain situations, uponacceptance by the customer. Retail sales are recorded at the time of registerreceipt. Allowances for estimated returns are provided when sales are recorded.
*Shipping and Handling Costs    Shipping and handling costs billed to customers arerecorded as revenue. Freight costs associated with shipping goods to customersare recorded as a cost of sales.
*Advertising Expense    We record national advertising campaign costs as anexpense when the advertising takes place and we expense advertising productioncosts as incurred, net of reimbursements for cooperative advertising.Advertising costs associated with our cooperative advertising programs areaccrued as the related revenues are recognized. Net advertising expense was$77.6 million, $74.2 million and $75.4 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002,respectively.
*Income Taxes    We use the asset and liability method of accounting forincome taxes. Current tax assets and liabilities are recognized for theestimated Federal, foreign, state and local income taxes payable or refundableon the tax returns for the current year. Deferred tax assets and liabilities arerecognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differencesbetween the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities usingenacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expectedto reverse. Deferred income tax provisions are based on the changes to therespective assets and liabilities from period to period. Valuation allowancesare recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when uncertainty regarding theirrealizability exists.
*Earnings per Share    Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and iscomputed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weightedaverage number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings pershare reflect, in periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the effect ofcommon shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and the conversion of anyconvertible bonds. The difference between reported basic and dilutedweighted-average common shares results from the assumption that all dilutivestock options outstanding were exercised and all convertible bonds have beenconverted into common stock.

The following options to purchase shares of common stock were outstandingduring a portion of each year but were not included in the computation ofdiluted earnings per share because the exercise prices of the options weregreater than the average market price of the common shares and, therefore, wouldbe antidilutive.

48
2004      2003      2002      Number of options (in millions) 3.9 10.4 3.2Weighted average exercise price $37.44 $32.88 $38.97
*Stock Options   * Effective January 1, 2003, we adopted the fair valuemethod of accounting for employee stock options for all options granted afterDecember 31, 2002 pursuant to the guidelines contained in SFAS No. 123,"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" using the "prospectivemethod" set forth in SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-BasedCompensation - Transition and Disclosure." Under this approach, the fairvalue of the option on the date of grant (as determined by the Black-Scholesoption pricing model) is amortized to compensation expense over the option'svesting period. Since the expense to be recorded is dependent on both the timingand the number of options to be granted, we cannot estimate the effect on futureresults of operations at this time. Prior to January 1, 2003, pursuant to aprovision in SFAS No. 123 we had elected to continue using the intrinsic-valuemethod of accounting for stock options granted to employees in accordance withAccounting Principles Board Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued toEmployees." Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options had beenmeasured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of our stock at thedate of the grant over the amount the employee must pay to acquire the stock.Under this approach, we had only recognized compensation expense for stock-basedawards to employees for options granted at below-market prices. The adoption ofthe fair value method did not have a material effect on our results ofoperations.

    Had we elected to adopt the fair value approach of SFASNo. 123 upon its effective date, our net income would have decreasedaccordingly. Both the stock-based employee compensation cost included in thedetermination of net income as reported and the stock-based employeecompensation cost that would have been included in the determination of netincome if the fair value based method had been applied to all awards, as well asthe resulting pro forma net income and earnings per share using the fair valueapproach, are presented in the following table. These pro forma amounts may notbe representative of future disclosures since the estimated fair value of stockoptions is amortized to expense over the vesting period, and additional optionsmay be granted in future years. For further information, see "Stock Optionsand Restricted Stock."

R*estricted Stock   * Compensation cost for restricted stock is measured as theexcess, if any, of the quoted market price of our stock at the date the commonstock is issued over the amount the employee must pay to acquire the stock. Thecompensation cost is recognized over the period between the issue date and thedate any restrictions lapse.
*Long-Lived Assets    We review certain long-lived assets for impairmentwhenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amountmay not be recoverable. In that regard, we assess the recoverability of suchassets based upon estimated non-discounted cash flow forecasts. If an assetimpairment is identified, the asset is written down to fair value based ondiscounted cash flow or other fair value measures.
*Cash Equivalents    We consider all highly liquid short-term investments tobe cash equivalents.
*Presentation of Prior Year Data    Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prioryear data with the current presentation.
*New Accounting Standards    In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151,"Inventory Costs," which clarifies the accounting for abnormal amountsof idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material(spoilage) by requiring these items to be recognized as current-period charges.SFAS No. 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal yearsbeginning after June 15, 2005, with earlier application permitted. The adoptionof SFAS No. 151 will have no impact on our results of operations or ourfinancial position.

    In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153,"Exchanges of Monetary Assets," which addresses the measurement ofexchanges of nonmonetary assets and eliminates the exception from fair valuemeasurement for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replacesit with an exception for exchanges that do not have commercial substance. SFASNo. 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periodsbeginning after June 15, 2005, with earlier application permitted. The adoptionof SFAS No. 153 will have no impact on our results of operations or ourfinancial position.

    In December 2004, the FASB issued a revision of SFAS No.123, "Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised2004)," which requires that the cost resulting from all share-based paymenttransactions be recognized in the financial statements. This Statementestablishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting forshare-based payment arrangements and requires all entities to apply afair-value-based measurement method in accounting for share-based paymenttransactions with employees except for equity instruments held by employee shareownership plans. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of the firstinterim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. The adoptionof SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) will not have a material effect on our results ofoperations or our financial position.

**ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS**
Accounts receivable consist of the following:
December 31,        2004         2003         (In millions)                 Trade accounts        receivable      $ 458.3             $ 424.1       Credit card receivable      36.2             -       Allowances for doubtful        accounts, returns, discounts and co-op advertising      (46.2)            (38.3)        $        448.3        $ 385.8       
    A significant portion of our sales are to retailersthroughout the United States and Canada. We have two significant customers inour wholesale apparel and wholesale footwear and accessories operating segments.

50

Sales to department stores owned by The May Department Stores Companyaccounted for 14%, 12% and 14% of consolidated total revenues for the yearsended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Sales to department storesowned by Federated Department Stores, Inc. accounted for 12%, 13% and 14% ofconsolidated total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and2002, respectively. May and Federated accounted for approximately 18% ofaccounts receivable at December 31, 2004.
**ACQUISITIONS**
    On July 8, 2004, we acquired all the outstanding shares ofMaxwell. Maxwell designs and markets casual and dress footwear for women andchildren under multiple brand names, each of which is targeted to a distinctsegment of the footwear market. Maxwell markets its products nationwide tonational chains, department stores and specialty retailers. Maxwell offersfootwear for women in the moderately priced market segment under the *MootsiesTootsies,**Sam & Libby* and *Dockers Women* brands, in thebetter market segment under the *AK Anne Klein* and *Circa Joan &David* brands and in the bridge segment under the *Joan and David* and*Albert Nipon* brands. Maxwell also sells moderately priced children'sfootwear under both the *Mootsies Tootsies* and *Sam & Libby*brands and licenses the *J. G. Hook* trademark from J. G. Hook, Inc. tosource and develop private label products for retailers who require brandidentification. Maxwell operates in the wholesale footwear and accessoriessegment.

    The acquisition of Maxwell is intended to provide furtherdiversification in our footwear business and strengthen our positions in boththe moderate and children's distribution channels. We also expect to benefitfrom the cross-branding opportunities that exist with our other lines ofbusiness.

    The aggregate purchase price was $377.1 million, whichincluded $23.25 per share in cash for each outstanding share of Maxwell (for atotal of $345.8 million) and $24.1 million related to Maxwell's employee stockoptions. The purchase price was allocated to Maxwell's assets and liabilities,tangible and intangible (as determined by an independent appraiser), with theexcess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired ofapproximately $206.1 million being recorded as goodwill in the wholesalefootwear and accessories segment. The acquired goodwill relating to Maxwell willnot be deductible for tax purposes.

    On December 20, 2004, we acquired 100% of the common stockof Barneys. Barneys is a luxury retailer that provides its customers with a widevariety of merchandise across a broad range of prices, including a diverseselection of *Barneys* label merchandise. Barneys' preferred arrangementswith established and emerging designers, combined with creative merchandising,store designs and displays, advertising campaigns, publicity events and emphasison customer service, has positioned it as a leading retailer of men's andwomen's fashion, cosmetics, jewelry and home furnishings. Barneys complementsits merchandise offerings from designers such as Giorgio Armani, Manolo Blahnik,Marc Jacobs, Prada, Jil Sander and Ermenegildo Zegna with a diverse selection of*Barneys* label merchandise, including ready-to-wear apparel, handbags,shoes, dress shirts, ties and sportswear. *Barneys* label merchandise ismanufactured by independent third parties according to Barneys' specificationsand is of comparable quality to the designer merchandise. Barneys operates inthe retail segment.

    As our growth strategy has focused on diversification toprovide a well-balanced portfolio of businesses, the acquisition of Barneysprovides additional diversification by introducing a new competency in luxuryspecialty retailing. With an inherent diversified portfolio comprised of its ownbrand, as well as numerous other brands from new designers and classic designhouses, Barneys provides entry into the high-growth, resilient luxury goodsmarket.

    The aggregate cash purchase price was $294.5 million (ofwhich $3.1 million was paid in January 2005), which included $19.00 for eachoutstanding share of Barneys (for a total of $264.5 million) and $26.7 millionrelated to Barneys' employee stock options, preferred stock and stockwarrants. We also assumed approximately $106.0 million of Barneys funded debt,$102.2 million of which we subsequently refinanced. The purchase price wasallocated to Barneys' assets and liabilities, with the excess of the purchaseprice over the fair value of the net assets acquired of approximately $276.3million being recorded as goodwill in the retail segment. Of the acquiredgoodwill relating to Barneys, approximately $83.1 million will be deductible fortax purposes. Barneys' intangible assets (including trademarks, customer listsand vendor relationships)

51

are currently being valued by independent appraisers; the appraised valueswill be reclassified from goodwill to other intangible assets during the firstquarter of 2005.

    The following table summarizes the estimated fair valuesof the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition forboth Maxwell and Barneys. The allocations of the respective purchase prices havenot been finalized and are subject to refinement.

    Of the $40.3 million of acquired Maxwell intangibleassets, $24.7 million was assigned to registered trademarks that are not subjectto amortization, $1.1 million was assigned to third-party license agreements,which had a useful life of approximately 18 months on the acquisition date, and$14.5 million was assigned to existing customer orders, which had a useful lifeof approximately eight months on the acquisition date. The amortization of thelicense agreements and customer orders is included in SG&A expenses. Theamortization of Barneys intangible assets will also be included in SG&Aexpenses.

    On December 1, 2003, we acquired 100% of the common stockof Kasper. Kasper designs, markets, sources, manufactures and distributes women'ssuits, sportswear and dresses. Kasper's brands include such well-recognizednames as *Albert Nipon, Anne Klein New York, AK Anne Klein, Kasper* and *LeSuit*. In addition, Kasper has granted licenses for the manufacture anddistribution of certain other products including, but not limited to, women'swatches, jewelry, handbags, small leather goods, footwear, coats, eyewear andswimwear and men's apparel. Kasper also operates retail outlet stores underthe *Kasper* and *Anne Klein* names, which not only sell companyproduced apparel, but also showcase and sell licensed products. The acquisitionof Kasper is intended to partially replace the business in the better marketlost by the termination of the *Lauren* and *Ralph* agreements andincreases our penetration into the better market distribution channel. We alsoexpect to benefit from the cross-branding opportunities of Kasper's brandsthat exist with our other lines of business. Kasper operates in both thewholesale better apparel and retail segments and the licensing of acquiredKasper trademarks to independent third parties is reported in the licensing,other and eliminations segment.

    The aggregate purchase price was $259.5 million. Thepurchase price was allocated to Kasper's assets and liabilities, tangible andintangible (as determined by an independent appraiser), with the excess of thepurchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired of approximately$57.0 million being recorded as goodwill, of which $9.4 million was assigned tothe retail segment and the balance assigned to the wholesale better apparelsegment. Of the acquired goodwill, approximately $22.1 million will bedeductible for tax purposes.

    Of the $107.6 million of acquired Kasper intangibleassets, $79.5 million was assigned to registered trademarks that are not subjectto amortization, $18.5 million was assigned to third-party license agreements,which had a weighted-average useful life of approximately 86 months on theacquisition date, $9.1 million was assigned to existing customer orders, whichhad a useful life of approximately eight months on the acquisition date, and$0.5 million was assigned to a below-market lease, which had a useful life ofapproximately 109 months on the acquisition date. The amortization of thecustomer orders and the below-market lease is included in SG&A expenses andthe amortization of the license agreements is included in net licensing income.

    On August 15, 2002, we acquired 100% of the common stockof l.e.i., a leading designer, manufacturer and distributor of girls' andyoung women's moderately-priced jeanswear. l.e.i.'s products are marketednationwide to national chains, department stores and specialty retailers. Theacquisition of l.e.i. is intended to enhance our competitive position in themoderate market. We also expect to benefit from the cross-branding opportunitiesthat exist with our other lines of business, by leveraging l.e.i.'s strengthsin design, production, merchandising and logistics, and by achieving costsynergies and economies of scale in the manufacturing process. l.e.i. isreported under our wholesale moderate apparel segment.

    The aggregate purchase price was $312.1 million, whichincluded payments to the selling shareholders of $274.8 million in cash and theissuance of 1,035,854 shares of our common stock valued for financial reportingpurposes at $35.04 per share (the average closing price for the week containingJuly 10, 2002, the date the acquisition was announced). The number of our commonshares delivered was based upon the average of the high and low sales price forthe ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding the signing date.

    The purchase price was allocated to l.e.i.'s assets andliabilities, tangible and intangible (as determined by an independentappraiser), with the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the netassets acquired of approximately $172.7 million being recorded as goodwill. Thegoodwill was assigned to the wholesale moderate apparel segment and will bedeductible for tax purposes. We also assumed approximately $84.0 million ofl.e.i.'s funded debt and accrued interest, $83.2 million of which wesubsequently refinanced.

    Of the $113.6 million of acquired l.e.i. intangibleassets, $106.0 million was assigned to registered trademarks that are notsubject to amortization and $7.6 million was assigned to third-party licenseagreements, which had a weighted-average useful life of approximately 20 monthson the acquisition date. The amortization of these agreements is included in netlicensing income.

    Pursuant to the Amended Acquisition Agreement, the sellingshareholders of l.e.i. were entitled to a $2.25 million payment as additionalconsideration, which was made in 2003 and recorded as goodwill.

    On April 8, 2002, we acquired 100% of the common stock ofGloria Vanderbilt and also the *Gloria Vanderbilt, Glo*and othertrademarks and third-party licenses from Gloria Vanderbilt Trademark B.V. GloriaVanderbilt is a leading designer, marketer and distributor of women'smoderately priced stretch and twill jeanswear. Gloria Vanderbilt markets itsproducts nationwide to national chains, department stores, mass merchants, andspecialty retailers.

The purchase price wasallocated to Gloria Vanderbilt's assets and liabilities, tangible andintangible (as determined by an independent appraiser).

    The terms of the acquisition agreement for GloriaVanderbilt required us to pay the former Gloria Vanderbilt shareholdersadditional consideration of $4.50 for each $1.00 of Gloria Vanderbilt'searnings before interest and taxes (as defined in the stock purchase agreement)that exceeded certain targeted levels for the 12 months following the completionof the acquisition, up to a maximum of $54.0 million. The maximum additionalconsideration was paid in cash on July 7, 2003 and was recorded first as areduction of the liability resulting from the fair value of assets acquiredexceeding the purchase price, with the remaining balance of $45.1 million beingrecorded as goodwill in the wholesale moderate segment in the third fiscalquarter of 2003. The acquired goodwill relating to Gloria Vanderbilt will not bedeductible for tax purposes.

    Of the $83.9 million of acquired Gloria Vanderbiltintangible assets, $75.3 million was assigned to registered trademarks that arenot subject to amortization and $8.6 million was assigned to third-party licenseagreements, which had a weighted-average useful life of approximately 30 monthson the acquisition date.

**ACCRUED RESTRUCTURING COSTS**

    In connection with the acquisitions of Nine West Group,Judith Jack, McNaughton, Gloria Vanderbilt, Kasper and Maxwell, we assessed andformulated plans to restructure certain operations of each company. These plansinvolved the closure of manufacturing facilities, certain offices, foreignsubsidiaries, and selected domestic and international retail locations.

    The objectives of the plans were to eliminate unprofitableor marginally profitable lines of business and reduce overhead expenses. During2002 and 2003, we also restructured several of our operations, including theclosing of Canadian and Mexican production facilities, the closing of anadministrative, warehouse and preproduction facility in El Paso, Texas and theclosing of a warehouse facility in Rural Hall, North Carolina. The accrual ofthese costs and liabilities, which are included in accrued expenses and othercurrent liabilities, is as follows:
                           (In millions)                  Severance        and other        employee        costs        Closing of  retail        stores and consolidation        of facilities                                            Total        Balance, January 1, 2002$ 11.2       $ 4.2       $ 15.4               Net additions (reversals)3.3       4.2               7.5               Payments and reductions        (7.1)              (6.3)              (13.4)      Balance, December 31,        20027.4       2.1       9.5               Net additions6.4       2.1       8.5               Payments and reductions(6.9)      (0.5)      (7.4)      Balance, December 31,        20036.9       3.7       10.6               Net additions16.9       17.4       34.3               Payments and reductions(17.3)      (3.0)      (20.3)      Balance, December 31,        2004$ 6.5       $ 18.1       $ 24.6       
    Estimated severance payments and other employee costs of$6.5 million accrued at December 31, 2004 relate to the remaining estimatedseverance for an estimated 177 employees at locations to be closed. Employeegroups affected (totaling an estimated 1,129 employees) include accounting,administrative, customer service, manufacturing, production, warehouse andmanagement personnel at locations closed or to be closed and duplicate corporateheadquarters management and administrative personnel.

    The $16.9 million net addition during 2004 representsseverance accruals related to acquisitions, which was recorded as an increase togoodwill.

    The $6.4 million net addition during 2003 represents a$5.9 million increase in severance accruals related to acquisitions, which wasrecorded as an increase to goodwill, a $0.7 million severance accrual related tothe closing of the North Carolina facility recorded as an SG&A expense inthe wholesale better apparel segment and a $0.2 million reduction of severanceaccruals recorded as a reduction of SG&A expenses in the wholesale footwearand accessories segment.

    The $3.3 million net addition in 2002 represents a netreversal of $1.7 million of the accrual related to acquisitions, which wasrecorded as a reduction of goodwill, a $3.6 million severance accrual related tothe closing of the Mexico and Texas facilities recorded as an SG&A expensein the wholesale moderate apparel segment, a $0.4 million severance accrualrelated to the closing of the Canadian facility recorded as an SG&A expensein the wholesale better apparel segment and a $1.0 million severance accrualrecorded as an SG&A expense in the wholesale footwear and accessoriessegment.

    During 2004, 2003 and 2002, $17.3 million, $6.9 millionand $7.1 million, respectively, of the reserve was utilized (relating to partialor full severance and related costs for 231, 575 and 270 employees,respectively).

    The $18.1 million accrued at December 31, 2004 for theconsolidation of facilities relates to expected costs to be incurred, includinglease obligations, for closing certain acquired facilities in connection withconsolidating their operations into our other existing facilities.

    The $17.4 million addition for 2004 represents a $15.9million accrual for the closing of certain Kasper and Maxwell facilities, whichwas recorded as an increase to goodwill, and a $1.7 million lease terminationpayment for the North Carolina facility offset by a $0.2 million reduction inaccruals related to the closing of the Canadian facility, both of which wererecorded as SG&A expenses in the wholesale better apparel segment.

    The $2.1 million additional accrual for 2003 represents a$2.2 million accrual related to the closing of acquired facilities and retailstores, which was recorded as an increase to goodwill, offset by a $0.1 millionreduction in accruals related to the closing of the Canadian facility recordedas a reduction of SG&A expenses in the wholesale better apparel segment.

    The $4.2 million additional accrual for 2002 consists of a$0.4 million accrual related to the closing of acquired facilities, which wasrecorded as an increase to goodwill, a $0.5 million accrual related to theclosing of the Canadian facility recorded as an SG&A expense in thewholesale better apparel segment and a $3.3 million accrual related to theclosing of the Texas facility recorded as an SG&A expense in the wholesalemoderate apparel segment.

    Our plans have not been finalized in all areas, andadditional restructuring costs may result as we continue to evaluate and assessthe impact of duplicate responsibilities, warehouses and office locations. We donot expect any final adjustments to be material. Any additional costs relatingto Maxwell before July 8, 2005 will be recorded as goodwill; after that date,additional costs will be charged to operations in the period in which theyoccur. Any costs not related to Maxwell will be charged to operations in theperiod in which they occur.

    Included in property, plant and equipment are thefollowing capitalized leases:

    In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwilland Other Intangible Assets," which changed the accounting for goodwill andother intangible assets from an amortization method to an impairment-onlyapproach. Upon our adoption of SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002, we ceasedamortizing our trademarks without determinable lives and our goodwill. Asprescribed under SFAS No. 142, we had our goodwill and trademarks tested forimpairment during the first fiscal quarter of 2002.

    Due to market conditions resulting from a sluggish economycompounded by the aftereffects of the events of September 11, 2001, we revisedour earnings forecasts for future years for several of our trademarks andlicenses. As a result, the fair market value of these assets (as appraised by anindependent third party) was lower than their carrying value as of December 31,2001. We accordingly recorded an after-tax impairment charge of $13.8 million,which is reported as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principleresulting from the adoption of SFAS No. 142.

    In the second fiscal quarter of 2002, we recorded anadditional impairment charge of $5.8 million related to two trademarks due to adecrease in projected accessory revenues resulting from a further evaluation ofour costume jewelry business.

    We perform our annual impairment test for goodwill andtrademarks during the fourth fiscal quarter of the year. As a result ofcontinuing decreases in projected accessory revenues in our costume jewelrylines, the conversion of a portion of our *Enzo Angiolini* retail stores tothe more moderately-priced *Bandolino* brand, and the discontinuance of our*Rena Rowan* better product line, we recorded additional trademarkimpairment

charges of $18.6 million in 2002, $4.5 million in 2003 and $0.2 million in  2004. All trademark impairment charges are reported as SG&A expenses in  the licensing, other and eliminations segment.

    The components of other intangible assets are as  follows:

    During 2004, we acquired $14.5 million of existingcustomer orders that have an amortization period of eight months and $2.3million of license agreements that have a weighted-average amortization periodof 21.1 months. Amortization expense for intangible assets subject toamortization was $32.6 million, $18.5 million and $9.8 million for the yearsended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

    Goodwill was initially tested for impairment upon adoptionof SFAS No. 142 and is further tested for impairment during the fourth fiscalquarter of each year. There have been no impairments to the carrying amount ofgoodwill.
**FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS**
    As a result of our global operating and financingactivities, we are exposed to changes in interest rates and foreign currencyexchange rates which may adversely affect results of operations and financialcondition. In seeking to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with suchactivities, we manage exposure to changes in interest rates and foreign currencyexchange rates through our regular operating and financing activities

57

and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financialinstruments. The instruments eligible for utilization include forward, optionand swap agreements. We do not use financial instruments for trading or otherspeculative purposes.

    At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the fair values of cash andcash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable approximated carrying valuesdue to the short-term nature of these instruments. The estimated fair values ofother financial instruments subject to fair value disclosures, determined basedon broker quotes or quoted market prices or rates for the same or similarinstruments, and the related carrying amounts are as follows:
December 31,          2004         2003        (In millions)Carrying        Amount Fair        ValueCarrying        Amount Fair        Value         Long-term debt, including current portion $        1,106.6        $        1,119.8        $        966.3        $        1,018.9       Foreign currency exchange contracts, net        asset (liability) 2.0        2.0        (0.5)       (0.5)      
    Financial instruments expose us to counterparty creditrisk for nonperformance and to market risk for changes in interest and currencyrates. We manage exposure to counterparty credit risk through specific minimumcredit standards, diversification of counterparties and procedures to monitorthe amount of credit exposure. Our financial instrument counterparties aresubstantial investment or commercial banks with significant experience with suchinstruments. We also have procedures to monitor the impact of market risk on thefair value and costs of our financial instruments considering reasonablypossible changes in interest and currency rates.

    We are exposed to market risk related to changes inforeign currency exchange rates. We have assets and liabilities denominated incertain foreign currencies and purchase products from foreign suppliers whorequire payment in funds other than the U.S. Dollar. At December 31, 2004, wehad outstanding foreign exchange contracts to exchange Canadian Dollars for atotal of US$12.0 million at a weighted-average exchange rate of 1.2291 throughJune 2005, US $24.7 million for Euros at a weighted-average exchange rate of1.3683 through December 2005 and US $1.6 million for British Pounds at aweighted-average exchange rate of 1.9138 through October 2005.

    We recorded amortization of net gains resulting from thetermination of interest rate swaps and locks of $7.8 million, $7.6 million and$3.5 million during 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, as a reduction ofinterest expense. We reclassified $0.9 million and $1.9 million of net lossesfrom foreign currency exchange contracts to cost of sales in 2004 and 2003,respectively. There has been no material ineffectiveness related to our foreigncurrency exchange contracts as the instruments are designed to be highlyeffective in offsetting losses and gains transactions being hedged. As ofDecember 31, 2004, the estimated net amount of existing gains and lossesreported in accumulated other comprehensive income that will be reclassifiedinto earnings in the next 12 months include amortization of $6.4 million of netgains resulting from the termination of interest rate swaps as a reduction ofinterest expense and no material reclassification of net gains from currencyexchange contracts to cost of sales.

**CREDIT FACILITIES**
    At December 31, 2004, we had credit agreements withseveral lending institutions to borrow an aggregate principal amount of up to$1.5 billion under Senior Credit Facilities. These facilities, of which theentire amount is available for letters of credit or cash borrowings, provide fora $500.0 million three-year revolving credit facility (which was reduced from$700.0 million in June 2004 and expires in June 2006) and a $1.0 billionfive-year revolving credit facility (which replaced a similar $700.0 millionfive-year revolving credit facility in June 2004). At December 31, 2004, $69.2million in cash borrowings was outstanding under the three-year revolving creditfacility and $367.8 million in outstanding letters of credit was outstandingunder our five-year revolving credit facility. Borrowings under the SeniorCredit Facilities may also be used for working

58

capital and other general corporate purposes, including permittedacquisitions and stock repurchases. The Senior Credit Facilities are unsecuredand require us to satisfy both a coverage ratio of earnings before interest,taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent to interest expense plus rents and anet worth maintenance covenant, as well as other restrictions, including(subject to exceptions) limitations on our ability to incur additionalindebtedness, prepay subordinated indebtedness, make acquisitions, enter intomergers and pay dividends.

    In addition to these committed facilities, we haveunsecured uncommitted lines of credit for the purpose of issuing letters ofcredit and bankers' acceptances for Kasper and Maxwell. At December 31, 2004,$27.9 million in letters of credit were outstanding under these lines of credit.

    At December 31, 2004, we also had a C$15.0 millionunsecured line of credit in Canada, under which no amounts were outstanding.

    The weighted-average interest rate for outstanding cashborrowings under our credit facilities was 5.25% at December 31, 2004.

**LONG-TERM DEBT**
    Long-term debt consists of the following:
 December 31,        2004         2003         (In millions)     7.50% Senior Notes due 2004, net of unamortized discount of $0.1 $         -  $ 174.9 8.375% Series B Senior Notes due 2005, net of unamortized discount of        $0.0 and $0.1 129.6  129.5 7.875% Senior Notes due 2006, net of unamortized discount of        $0.5 and $0.8 224.5  224.2 9% Senior Secured Notes due 2008, net of        unamortized discount of $0.5 3.3  - 4.250% Senior Notes due        2009, net of unamortized discount of $0.2 249.8  - 5.125% Senior Notes due 2014, net of        unamortized discount of $0.2 249.8  - 3.50% Zero Coupon Convertible Senior        Notes due 2021, net of unamortized discount of $7.7 -  437.7 6.125% Senior Notes due 2014, net of        unamortized discount of $0.4 249.6  -  1,106.6       966.3       Less: current portion129.6       174.9        $ 977.0       $ 791.4       
    Long-term debt maturities for each of the next five yearsare $129.6 million in 2005, $225.0 million in 2006, $3.8 million in 2008 and$250.0 million in 2009. All of our notes contain certain covenants, including,among others, restrictions on liens, sale-leaseback transactions and additionalsecured debt, and pay interest semiannually. The weighted-average interest rateof our long-term debt was 6.1% at December 31, 2004.

    In November 2004, we issued $250.0 million of 4.250%Senior Notes due 2009, $250.0 million of 5.125% Senior Notes due 2014 and $250.0million of 6.125% Senior Notes due 2034. Net proceeds of the offering were$743.5 million, which were used to fund the acquisition of Barneys, to redeemBarneys' outstanding 9% Senior Secured Notes and to repay amounts thenoutstanding under our Senior Credit Facilities.

    On February 2, 2004, we redeemed all our outstanding ZeroCoupon Convertible Senior Notes due 2021 at a redemption price (inclusive ofissue price plus accrued original issue discount) of $554.41 per $1,000 ofprincipal amount at maturity for a total payment of $446.6 million. As a resultof this transaction, we recorded an SG&A expense of $8.4 million in 2004,representing the writeoff of unamortized bond discounts and debt issuance costs.On June 15, 2004, we redeemed at maturity all our 7.50% Senior Notes due 2004for a total payment of $175.0 million.

**ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME**
    Accumulated other comprehensive income is comprised of thefollowing:
 December 31,        2004         2003         (In millions)     Foreign currency        translation adjustments $         5.6  $ 2.6 Minimum pension liability adjustments (10.3) (8.7)Unrealized gains on        hedge contracts 5.5  9.9  $ 0.8       $ 3.8       
**DERIVATIVES**
    SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instrumentsand Hedging Activities," subsequently amended by SFAS No. 138,"Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain HedgingActivities" (as amended, hereinafter referred to as "SFAS 133"),establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments.Specifically, SFAS 133 requires us to recognize all derivatives as either assetsor liabilities on the balance sheet and to measure those instruments at fairvalue. Additionally, the fair value adjustments will affect either stockholders'equity or net income, depending on whether the derivative instrument qualifiesas a hedge for accounting purposes and, if so, the nature of the hedgingactivity.

    We use foreign currency forward contracts for the specificpurpose of hedging the exposure to variability in forecasted cash flowsassociated primarily with inventory purchases. These instruments are designatedas cash flow hedges as the principal terms of the forward exchange contracts arethe same as the underlying forecasted foreign currency cash flows. Therefore,changes in the fair value of the forward contracts should be highly effective inoffsetting changes in the expected foreign currency cash flows, and accordingly,changes in the fair value of forward exchange contracts are recorded inaccumulated other comprehensive income, net of related tax effects, with thecorresponding asset or liability recorded in the balance sheet. Amounts recordedin accumulated other comprehensive income are reflected in current-periodearnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings.

    The following summarizes, by major currency, the U.S.Dollar equivalent amount of our foreign currency forward exchange contracts.
 December 31,        2004        2003        (In millions)                  Notional         Amount                   Fair Value -         Asset/        (Liability)                 Notional         Amount                   Fair Value -         Asset/        (Liability)                 Canadian Dollar - U.S. Dollar         $ 12.0               $ (0.3)               $ 11.0               $ (0.5)      U.S. Dollar - Euro 24.7        2.2        -        -       U.S. Dollar - British        Pound         1.6        0.1                -        -              $ 38.3       $ 2.0               $ 11.0       $ (0.5)      
    During 2004, no material amounts were reclassified fromother comprehensive income to earnings and there was no material ineffectivenessrelated to our cash flow hedges. If foreign currency exchange rates or interestrates do not change from their December 31, 2004 amounts, we estimate that anyreclassifications from other comprehensive income to earnings within the next 12months also will not be material. The actual amounts that will be reclassifiedto earnings over the next 12 months could vary, however, as a result of changesin market conditions.

    In connection with the $250.0 million of 4.250% SeniorNotes due 2009 and $250.0 million of 5.125% Senior Notes due 2014 issued inNovember 2004, we had entered into two interest rate lock agreements which were

60

terminated upon the issuance of the notes. These terminations generatedpre-tax gains of $0.2 million, which is being amortized as a reduction ofinterest expense over the term of the related notes.

    For the periods April 2002 through October 2002 and June1999 through January 2001, we had employed an interest rate hedging strategyutilizing swaps to effectively float a portion of our interest rate exposure onour fixed rate financing arrangements. The termination of these interest rateswaps generated pre-tax gains of $21.6 million and $8.3 million, respectively,which is being amortized as a reduction of interest expense over the remainingterms of the interest rate swap agreements.

    Approximately $6.4 million of pre-tax income will bereclassified into earnings within the next 12 months related to these terminatedagreements.

**COMMON STOCK**
    The Board of Directors has authorized several programs torepurchase our common stock from time to time in open market transactionstotaling $1.0 billion. As of December 31, 2004, 32.4 million shares had beenacquired at a cost of $858.6 million. There is no time limit for the utilizationof the amounts remaining under any uncompleted programs.
**OBLIGATIONS UNDER CAPITAL LEASES**
    Obligations under capital leases consist of the following:
 December 31,        2004         2003         (In millions)                 Warehouses, office facilities and equipment $ 44.0        $ 49.6       Less: current portion 4.4        5.9        Obligations under capital leases - noncurrent$ 39.6       $ 43.7        
    We occupy warehouse and office facilities leased from theCity of Lawrenceburg, Tennessee. Two ten-year net leases run until July 2005 andMay 2006, respectively, and require minimum annual rent payments of $0.5 millioneach plus accrued interest. In connection with these leases, we guaranteed $10.0million of Industrial Development Bonds issued in order to construct thefacilities, $1.0 million of which remained unpaid as of December 31, 2004. Weobtain title to these facilities upon expiration of the leases. The financingagreement with the issuing authority requires us to comply with the samefinancial covenants required by our Senior Credit Facilities (see "CreditFacilities").

    We also lease warehouse and office facilities in Bristol,Pennsylvania. Two 15-year net leases run until March and October 2013,respectively, and require minimum annual rent payments of $1.3 million and $0.9million, respectively.

    In 2003, we entered into a sale-leaseback agreement forour Virginia warehouse facility. This transaction resulted in a net gain of $7.5million that has been deferred and is being amortized over the lease term, whichruns until April 2023 and requires minimum annual rent payments of $2.4 million.The building has been capitalized at $25.6 million, which approximates thepresent value of the minimum lease payments.

    We also lease various equipment under two to six-yearleases at an aggregate annualized rental of $3.4 million. The equipment has beencapitalized at its fair market value of $10.5 million, which approximates thepresent value of the minimum lease payments.

    The following is a schedule by year of future minimumlease payments under capital leases, together with the present value of the netminimum lease payments as of December 31, 2004:

    As of December 31, 2004, we had federal and state netoperating loss carryforwards of $35.7 million and $214.7 million, respectively,which expire through 2023. We also had capital loss carryforwards of $22.6million, which expire in 2006, and state tax credit carryforwards of $4.2million, which expire through 2020.

    During the fourth fiscal quarter of 2003, the InternalRevenue Service completed its audits of our returns through 2000. As a result,we reversed $8.7 million of tax accruals established in years prior to 2001.

    We have determined that the $22.6 million of capital losscarryforwards expiring in 2006 may not be utilized; therefore, we established avaluation allowance of $8.5 million in 2003.

**ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ONACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE**
    Not Applicable.

**ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**
    As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), we carried outan evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Presidentand Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Operating and Financial Officer, ofthe effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls andprocedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.

    The purpose of disclosure controls is to ensure thatinformation required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the SEC isrecorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specifiedin the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with theobjective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated toour management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Operatingand Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.The purpose of internal controls is to provide reasonable assurance that ourtransactions are properly authorized, our assets are safeguarded againstunauthorized or improper use and our transactions are properly recorded andreported to permit the preparation of our financial statements in conformitywith generally accepted accounting principles.

    Our management does not expect that our disclosurecontrols or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. Acontrol system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide onlyreasonable rather than absolute assurance that the objectives of the controlsystem are met. The design of a control system must also reflect the fact thatthere are resource constraints, with the benefits of controls consideredrelative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all controlsystems, no evaluation of

75

controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instancesof fraud (if any) within the company have been detected. These inherentlimitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can befaulty and that simple errors or mistakes can occur. Controls can also becircumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or morepeople, or by management override of the control. The design of any system ofcontrols also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood offuture events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed inachieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time,controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degreeof compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of theinherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due toerror or fraud may occur and not be detected.

    Our internal controls are evaluated on an ongoing basis byDeloitte & Touche, LLP, to whom we outsource our internal audit function, byother personnel in our organization and by our independent auditors inconnection with their audit and review activities. The overall goals of thesevarious evaluation activities are to monitor our disclosure and internalcontrols and to make modifications as necessary, as disclosure and internalcontrols are intended to be dynamic systems that change (including improvementsand corrections) as conditions warrant. Part of this evaluation is to determinewhether there were any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in ourinternal controls, or whether we had identified any acts of fraud involvingpersonnel who have a significant role in the our internal controls. Significantdeficiencies are control issues that could have a significant adverse effect onthe ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data in thefinancial statements; material weaknesses are particularly serious conditionswhere the internal control does not reduce to a relatively low level the riskthat misstatements caused by error or fraud may occur in amounts that would bematerial in relation to the financial statements and not be detected within atimely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assignedfunctions.

    Based upon this evaluation, our President and ChiefExecutive Officer and our Chief Operating and Financial Officer concluded that,subject to the limitations noted above, both our disclosure controls andprocedures and our internal controls and procedures are effective in timelyalerting them to material information required to be included in our periodicSEC filings and that information required to be disclosed by us in theseperiodic filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the timeperiods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that our internal controlsare effective to provide reasonable assurance that our financial statements arefairly presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

    There have been no changes in our internal controls overfinancial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that havematerially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internalcontrol over financial reporting.

MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL

February 11, 2005

To the Stockholders of Jones Apparel Group, Inc.

    The management of Jones Apparel Group, Inc. is responsiblefor the preparation, integrity, objectivity and fair presentation of thefinancial statements and other financial information presented in this report.The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accountingprinciples generally accepted in the United States of America and reflect theeffects of certain judgments and estimates made by management.

    In order to ensure that our internal control overfinancial reporting is effective, management regularly assesses such controlsand did so most recently for our financial reporting as of December 31, 2004,except for Barneys, acquired on December 20, 2004, which represents 10.2% ofassets at December 31, 2004 and 0.4% of revenue and 0.6% of income fromoperations for the year ended December 31, 2004. This assessment was based oncriteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described inInternal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of SponsoringOrganizations of the Treadway Commission, referred to as COSO. Our assessmentincluded the documentation and understanding of our internal control overfinancial reporting. We have evaluated the design effectiveness and tested theoperating effectiveness of internal controls to form our conclusion.

    Our internal control over financial reporting is a processdesigned to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financialreporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes inaccordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal controlover financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that pertain tomaintaining records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflecttransactions and dispositions of assets, providing reasonable assurance thattransactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financialstatements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, assuringthat receipts and expenditures are being made in accordance with authorizationsof our management and directors and providing reasonable assurance regardingprevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or dispositionof assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

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

    Based on this assessment, the undersigned officersconcluded that our internal controls and procedures are effective in timelyalerting them to material information required to be included in our periodicSEC filings and that information required to be disclosed by us in theseperiodic filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the timeperiods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that our internal controlsare effective to provide reasonable assurance that our financial statements arefairly presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

    The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, whichconsists of independent, non-executive directors, meets regularly withmanagement, the internal auditors and the independent accountants to reviewaccounting, reporting, auditing and internal control matters. The committee hasdirect and private access to both internal and external auditors.

    BDO Seidman, LLP, independent auditors of our financialstatements, has reported on management's assertion with respect to theeffectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December31, 2004.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and StockholdersJones Apparel Group, Inc.Bristol, Pennsylvania

    We have audited management's assessment, included in theaccompanying Management's Report on Internal Control, that Jones ApparelGroup, Inc. and Subsidiaries maintained effective internal control overfinancial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on the criteria establishedin Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of SponsoringOrganizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management isresponsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reportingand for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financialreporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management'sassessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internalcontrol over financial reporting based on our audit.

    We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards ofthe Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standardsrequire that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained inall material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internalcontrol over financial reporting, evaluating management's assessment, testingand evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, andperforming such other procedures as we considered necessary in thecircumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for ouropinion.

    A company's internal control over financial reporting isa process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability offinancial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for externalpurposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company'sinternal control over financial reporting includes those policies and proceduresthat (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets ofthe company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded asnecessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance withgenerally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures ofthe company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of managementand directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regardingprevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or dispositionof the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financialstatements.

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

    In our opinion, management's assessment that JonesApparel Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries maintained effective internal control overfinancial reporting as of December 31, 2004, is fairly stated, in all materialrespects, based on the criteria established in Internal Control-IntegratedFramework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the TreadwayCommission (COSO). Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all materialrespects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,2004, based on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

    We have also audited, in accordance with the standards ofthe Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidatedbalance sheets of Jones Apparel Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31,2004 and 2003 and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders'equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December31, 2004 and our report dated February 11, 2005 expressed an unqualifiedopinion.
