We primarily contract for themanufacture of our products through a worldwide network of qualitymanufacturers. We have capitalized on our nationally known brand names byentering into various licenses for several of our trademarks, including *JonesNew York*, *Evan-Picone,**Anne Klein New York, Nine West, GloriaVanderbilt* and *l.e.i.*, with select manufacturers of women's and men'sproducts which we do not manufacture. Celebrating more than 30 years of service,we have built a reputation for excellence in product quality and value and inoperational execution.

**Licensed Brands; Termination as of December 31, 2003 of License for *Lauren*and *Ralph* Brands**
    As a result of the acquisition of Sun, we obtained theright to sell *Polo Jeans Company* products under long-term license anddesign agreements which Sun entered into with Polo in 1995 (collectively, the "*Polo Jeans*License"). Under the *Polo Jeans* License, Polo has granted us anexclusive license for the design, manufacture and sale of men's and women'sjeanswear, sportswear, and related apparel under the *Polo Jeans Company byRalph Lauren* trademarks in the United States, its territories and Mexico.The agreements expire on December 31, 2005 and may be renewed by us in five-yearincrements for up to 25 additional years, provided that we achieve certainminimum sales levels. Renewal of the *Polo Jeans* License after 2010requires a one-time payment by us of $25.0 million or, at our option, a transferof a 20% interest in our *Polo Jeans Company* business to Polo (with nofees required for subsequent renewals). Polo also has an option, exercisable onor before June 1, 2010, to purchase our *Polo Jeans Company* business atthe end of 2010 for a purchase price, payable in cash, equal to 80% of the thenfair value of the business as a going concern, assuming continuation of the *PoloJeans* License through 2030. The agreements provide for the payment by us ofa percentage of net sales against guaranteed minimum royalty and design servicepayments as set forth in the agreements.

    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. The agreements provide for the payment by us of a percentageof net sales against guaranteed minimum royalty and design service payments asset forth in the agreements.

    In May 1998, we acquired an exclusive license tomanufacture and market women's dresses, shirts, blouses, skirts, jackets, suits,sweaters, pants, vests, coats, outerwear and hats under the *Ralph by RalphLauren* ("*Ralph*") trademark in the United States, Canada andMexico pursuant to license and design service agreements with Polo (the "*Ralph*License"). The agreements were scheduled to end on December 31, 2003. Theagreements provide for the payment by us of a percentage of net sales againstguaranteed minimum royalty and design service payments as set forth in theagreements.

    In June 2000, we acquired an exclusive license tomanufacture and market in Canada certain products under the *Polo JeansCompany* and *Polo Ralph Lauren* trademarks pursuant to license anddesign service agreements with Polo (collectively, the "CanadaLicenses"). The agreements were scheduled to expire on December 31, 2005and were renewable for an additional five years, provided that we achievedcertain

9

minimum sales levels. The agreements provide for the payment by us of apercentage of net sales against guaranteed minimum royalty and design servicepayments as set forth in the agreements.

    During the course of discussions concerning the *Ralph*License, Polo asserted that the expiration of the *Ralph* contract onDecember 31, 2003 would cause the *Lauren* License to end on December 31,2003, instead of December 31, 2006. We believe that this is an improperinterpretation and that the expiration of the *Ralph* License did not causethe *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 (see "LegalProceedings"). The complaint alleges that Polo breached the *Lauren*License by claiming that the license ends at the end of 2003. We asked the courtto enter a judgment for compensatory damages of $550 million as well as punitivedamages. On June 3, 2003, Polo also filed a complaint in the New York StateSupreme Court against us, seeking among other things a declaratory judgment thatthe *Lauren* License terminated as of December 31, 2003. On July 25, 2003,we served papers opposing Polo's motion and also served upon Polo a motionseeking summary judgment in Polo's action for a declaratory judgment. On August12, 2003, Polo filed a cross-motion for summary judgment in that action. Thesemotions were argued on September 30, 2003, and the parties are awaitingdecisions.

    We assert within the complaint that Polo's actions fullydischarged our obligations under the *Lauren* License for lines to be soldafter 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 the year ended December 31, 2003. Thetermination of our exclusive right to manufacture and market clothing under thistrademark in the United States, Canada and elsewhere will have a materialadverse effect on our results of operations after 2003. While we are pursuingother opportunities, including internal brands (including the new lifestylebrand under the *Jones New York Signature* label), acquisitions (includingthe Kasper acquisition) and licensing options, some of which we previously wereprecluded from exploring under agreements with Polo, there is no guarantee thatwe will be able to replace all of the net sales of the *Lauren* brand.However, the loss of the *Lauren* License will not materially adverselyimpact our liquidity, and we will continue to have a strong financial position.

    The expiration of the *Ralph* License will not bematerial to us in any respect. Net sales of *Ralph* products were $30.7million for the year ended December 31, 2003.

    We and Polo have agreed that, in connection with theexpiration of the *Ralph* License, the Canada Licenses terminated as ofDecember 31, 2003. The termination of the Canada Licenses will not be materialto us in any respect. Net sales of all products under the Canada Licenses were$41.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The dispute between us andPolo does not relate to the *Polo Jeans* License in the United States, andan end to the Canada Licenses does not end our longer term *Polo Jeans*License in the United States or otherwise adversely affect the *Polo Jeans*License in the United States.

    As a result of the acquisition of Victoria, we obtainedthe exclusive license to produce and sell costume jewelry in the United Statesand Canada under the *Tommy Hilfiger* trademark pursuant to an agreementwith Hilfiger. This agreement, which was recently amended to include the *HHilfiger* trademark, expires on March 31, 2008. The agreement provides forpayment by us of a percentage of net sales against guaranteed minimum royaltyand advertising payments as set forth in the agreement. We also obtained theexclusive license to produce, market and distribute costume jewelry in theUnited States, Canada, Mexico and Japan under the *Givenchy* trademarkpursuant to an agreement with Givenchy, which expires on December 31, 2005. Theagreement provides for the payment by us of a percentage of net sales againstguaranteed minimum royalty and advertising payments as set forth in theagreement.

    In July 2002, we obtained the exclusive license to produceand sell women's and young women's footwear, luggage, handbags and small leathergoods bearing a diversified complement of *ESPRIT* trademarks pursuant tolicense and design service agreements with Esprit Europe, a subsidiary ofEsprit 

10

 Holdings Limited. These branded products are distributed exclusively byNine West to department stores, retail specialty stores and other direct to consumer venues throughout theUnited States and Puerto Rico. The agreement expires on December 31, 2007 and isrenewable for an additional five years provided that we achieve certain minimumsales levels.
**Design**
    Each of our apparel product lines has a design team whichis responsible for the creation, development and coordination of the productgroup offerings within each line. We believe our design staff is recognized forits distinctive styling of garments and its ability to update fashion classicswith contemporary 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's shoeshows.

    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.

    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. EspritEurope, Hilfiger and Givenchy also provide design services to us for ourlicensed products and have the right to approve our designs for the *ESPRIT,Tommy Hilfiger* and *Givenchy* 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 severalmanufacturing facilities of our own in Mexico and China. Approximately 24% ofour apparel products were manufactured in the United States and Mexico and 76%in other parts of the world (primarily Asia) during 2003. We source a portion ofour products in Central America, enabling us to take advantage of shorter leadtimes than other offshore locations due to proximity. Sourcing in this regionenables us to utilize exemptions under "807" customs regulations, 

11

which provide that certain articles assembled abroad from United Statescomponents are exempt from United States duties on the value of thesecomponents.

    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, in certain instances, a sampling of production garments uponreceipt at our warehouse facilities to ensure compliance with ourspecifications.

    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, buyingagents located in other countries and independent contractors and inspectionservices. Finished goods are generally shipped to our warehouses for finalinspection 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.

    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. Wegenerally order piece goods concurrently with concept development. The purchaseof piece goods is controlled and coordinated on a divisional basis. Whenpossible, we limit our exposure to specific colors and fabrics by committing topurchase only a portion of total projected demand with options to purchaseadditional volume if demand meets the plan.

    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 with footwear and accessoriesmanufacturers in Brazil and Asia and by Victoria with jewelry manufacturers inAsia. We work through independent buying agents for footwear and our own officesfor accessories and

12

jewelry. Allocation of production among our manufacturingresources is determined based upon a number of factors, including manufacturingcapabilities, delivery requirements and pricing.

    During 2003, approximately 83% of our footwear productswere manufactured by independent footwear manufacturers located in Asia(primarily China) and approximately 17% were manufactured by independently ownedfootwear manufacturers in Brazil. Our handbags and small leather goods aresourced through our own buying offices in Korea and Hong Kong, which utilizeindependent third party manufacturers located primarily in China. Products havehistorically been purchased from the Brazilian and Asian manufacturers inpre-set United States dollar prices, and therefore, we generally have not beenadversely affected by fluctuations in exchange rates. We do not have contractswith any of our footwear, handbag or small leather goods manufacturers but, withrespect to footwear imported from Brazil and China, we rely on establishedrelationships with our Brazilian and Chinese manufacturers directly and throughour independent buying agent. Quality control reviews are done on-site in thefactories by our third-party buying agents primarily to ensure that material andcomponent qualities and fit of the product are in accordance with ourspecifications. Our quality control program includes approval of prototypes, aswell as approval of final production samples to ensure they meet our highstandards.

    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 ofthese manufacturers, individual production lines can be quickly changed from onestyle to another, and production of certain styles can be completed in as few asfour hours, from uncut leather to boxed footwear.

    Historically, periodic instability in Brazil's politicaland economic environment has not had a material adverse effect on Nine West'sfinancial condition or results of operations. We cannot predict, however, theeffect that future changes in economic or political conditions in Brazil couldhave on the economics of doing business with our Brazilian manufacturers.Although we believe that we could source in China a portion of those productswhich we currently source in Brazil and find alternative manufacturing sourcesfor the remainder of those products, the establishment of new manufacturingrelationships would involve various uncertainties, and the loss of a substantialportion of our Brazilian manufacturing capacity before the alternative sourcingrelationships were fully developed could have a material adverse effect on ourfinancial condition or results of operations.

    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 and Judith Jack havehistorically experienced little difficulty in satisfying finished goodsrequirements, and we consider their source of supplies adequate. Products have historically been purchased from Asianmanufacturers in preset U. S. dollar prices, effectively minimizing the effectsof adverse fluctuations in exchange rates.

    During 2003, 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

13

control costs and avoid significant capital expenditures, work inprocess inventory, and costs of managing a larger production workforce. Victoria'sand Judith Jack's history as manufacturers gives them the requisite experienceand knowledge to manage 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 Manufacturers Compliance Program. Under that program, and throughindependent agreements with domestic and foreign manufacturers that produceproducts for us, we regularly audit for compliance with our Factory Standardsand require corrective action when appropriate. In 2003, we also initiated amore active training program for contractors.

    Our Factory Standards, which we have posted on our website(www.jny.com), 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. OurCompliance Department staff consists of 15 auditors based in three countries.Twelve auditors claim English as a second language, and virtually all aremulti-lingual and have at least a bachelor's degree from a four-year institutionin the United States or abroad. In addition to our own staff, we retain severalrecognized, unaffiliated workplace compliance audit firms to conduct factoryaudits on our behalf and to report on such findings, including recommendationsfor remediation.

    During 2003, 1,308 audits were conducted (including over900 by independent auditors), including domestic and foreign factories forapparel, footwear, handbag and jewelry products. Also, during 2003, we initiateda more training-based approach with our contract manufacturers. In China, wefunded a mobile training van program run by an independent monitoring firm, inwhich approximately 20 factories were visited several times during the year,providing worker training in the following topics: nutrition, reproductivehealth for female workers, psychology and interpersonal relationships, socialskills, our Factory Standards, prevention and cure of SARS, calculation of wageand working hours entitlements, and occupational health and safety. These topicswere addressed through lectures, group discussions and group exhibits performedby the independent monitor's staff or local experts with relationships to themonitor.

    At our expense, the monitor also delivered aninterpersonal relationship training program to workers at two facilities inVietnam on our behalf, and a general code of conduct informational session forrepresentatives of all footwear factories in China (some of the same factoriesbeing visited by the mobile van), bringing in local government representativesto provide detailed information on the local labor code requirements for workinghours and wages.

    We are also funding on-going training for factories inLesotho through a local industrial relations expert from South Africa; thistraining is addressing the creation of personnel policies and procedures,grievance procedures and interpersonal relationship management at thosefactories.

    We are providing ongoing support (but not funding) for twofactories that have engaged a China-based labor compliance consultingorganization, which is assisting the factories in exploring ways to decreaseworking hours in those factories by improving efficiencies in the factories,using industrial engineering and 

14

production planning. In February 2004, we commenced funding the same training(which will take place over a period of six months) with ten footwear factories inChina. We have funded remediation training for approximately ten factories inGuatemala to address previously unfavorable audit results, specifically verbalharassment of workers.

    In all cases, the organization that provided the trainingwas not the organization providing the compliance monitoring of the samefacility, to avoid any real or perceived conflicts of interest.

    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 that 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 do believe that progress and improvement,although incremental, is quite real.

**Marketing**
    During 2003, 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 eight departmentstore customers currently owned by Federated Department Stores, Inc.("Federated") accounted for approximately 13% of 2003 sales, and salesto six department store customers currently owned by The May Department StoresCompany ("May") accounted for approximately 12% of 2003 sales. Our tenlargest customer groups accounted for approximately 61% of sales in 2003. Whilewe believe that purchasing decisions are generally made independently by eachdepartment store customer (including the stores in the Federated and Maygroups), in some cases the trend is toward more centralized purchasingdecisions. We attempt to minimize our credit risk from our concentration ofcustomers by closely monitoring accounts receivable balances and shipping levelsand the ongoing financial performance and 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 and consumers about our products and bycoordinating our marketing activities with those of the stores. In addition, theretail sales specialists provide us with firsthand information concerningconsumer reactions to our products. In addition, we have a program of designatedsales personnel in which a store agrees to designate certain sales personnel whowill devote a substantial portion of their time to selling our products inreturn 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, luggage and small leathergoods businesses with certain department stores and specialty retail stores bybringing our retail and sales planning expertise to those retailers. Under this program, members of branded division management who have extensiveretail backgrounds work with

15

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, for handbags and small leathergoods, field merchandising associates, recommend how to display our products,assist with merchandising displays and educate store personnel about us and ourproducts. The goal of this approach is to promote high retail sell-throughs ofour 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 *Jones NewYork*Collection*, Jones New York Sport* and *Jones New York Signature*(primarily in the print media encompassing both our products and products of ourlicensees), *Nine West* (footwear, apparel, handbags, jewelry and licensedproducts, primarily in fashion magazines), *Easy Spirit* (primarily infashion, lifestyle, health and fitness magazines), *Norton McNaughton*(infashion, lifestyle and ethnic magazines)*, Erika* and *Erika Sport*(inlifestyle magazines),*Nine & Company*(in fashion magazines throughco-op advertising efforts),*Bandolino*(in fashion magazines)*, GloriaVanderbilt*(in fashion and trade magazines)*, GLO*(in fashionmagazines)*,**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 and trademagazines) and the licensed *Polo Jeans Company* line (in fashion andlifestyle 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 *Norton McNaughton*, *Erika,**Erika Sport* and *l.e.i.*, our in-house creative services departmentsoversee the conception, production and execution of virtually all aspects ofthese activities. We also believe that our retail network promotes brand namerecognition and supports the merchandising of complete lines by, and themarketing 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 minimum royaltypayments, which typically increase over the term of the agreement.

We vigorously monitor and protect our trademarks and patentsagainst infringement and 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. These agreements impose quotas on the amount and typeof goods which can be imported into the United States from these countries. Suchagreements also allow the United States to impose, at any time, restraints onthe importation of categories of merchandise that, under the terms of theagreements, are not subject to specified limits. Our imported products are alsosubject to United States customs duties and, in the ordinary course of business,we are from time to time subject to claims by the United States Customs Servicefor duties and other charges.

    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 $1.4billion at both December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002. These amounts includeboth confirmed and unconfirmed orders which we believe, based on industrypractice and past experience, will be confirmed. The amount of unfilled ordersat a particular time is affected by a number of factors, including the mix ofproduct, the timing of the receipt and processing of customer orders andscheduling of the manufacture and shipping of the product, which in someinstances is dependent on the desires of the customer. Backlog is also affectedby a continuing trend among customers to reduce the lead time on their orders.Due to these factors, as well as the acquisition of Kasper during 2003, acomparison of unfilled orders from period to period is not necessarilymeaningful and may not be indicative of eventual actual shipments.
**Competition**
    Competition is intense in the sectors of the apparel,footwear and accessory industries in which we participate. We compete with manyother manufacturers and retailers, some of which are larger and have greaterresources.

    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.

20

    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.
**Employees**
    At December 31, 2003, we had approximately 17,095full-time employees. This total includes approximately 10,885 in qualitycontrol, production, design and distribution positions, approximately 3,210 inadministrative, sales, clerical and office positions and approximately 3,000 inour retail stores. We also employ approximately 4,750 part-time employees, ofwhich approximately 4,635 work in our retail stores.

    Approximately 215 of our employees located in Bristol,Pennsylvania are members of the Teamsters Union, which has a collectivebargaining agreement with us expiring in March 2006. Approximately 80 of ouremployees located in Vaughan, Ontario are members of the Laundry and LinenDrivers and Industrial Workers Union, which has a collective bargainingagreement with us expiring in March 2006. Approximately 1,185 of our employeeslocated in Mexico are members of an affiliate of the Cofederacion deTrabajadores Mexicanos, which has a collective bargaining agreement expiring onJanuary 1, 2005. Approximately 225 of our employees are members of the Union ofNeedletrades, Industrial and Textile Employees, which has a one-year laboragreement with Kasper expiring on May 31, 2004. We consider our relations withour employees to be satisfactory.

    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 Torreon, Mexico, a 67,000 square foot production facility inJuarez, Mexico and a 111,000 square foot distribution facility in El Paso, Texaswhich 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 and tenyears for footwear and accessories and apparel specialty stores. Certain leasesallow us to terminate our obligations after a predetermined period (generallyone to three years) in the event that a particular location does not achievespecified sales volume and some leases have options to renew. Many leasesinclude clauses that provide for contingent payments based on sales volumes, andmany leases contain escalation clauses for increases in operating costs and realestate 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**
    The *Ralph* License with Polo was scheduled to end onDecember 31, 2003. During the course of the discussions concerning *Ralph*,Polo asserted that the expiration of the *Ralph* contract would cause the *Lauren*License agreements to end on December 31, 2003, instead of December 31, 2006. Webelieve that this is an improper interpretation and that 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 July 3, 2003, Ms. Nemerov filed a motion to stay ourclaims against her and to compel arbitration of those claims. We have opposedthat motion. Additionally, on July 3, 2003, Polo served a motion on us todismiss our breach of contract claim, and to stay our claim regarding inducementof Ms. Nemerov's breach of her employment agreement pending the outcome ofarbitration. On July 8, 2003, we served papers opposing Nemerov's motion. OnJuly 25, 2003, we served papers opposing Polo's motion and also served upon Poloa motion seeking summary judgment in Polo's action for a declaratory judgment.On August 12, 2003, Polo filed a cross-motion for summary judgment in thataction. The four motions were argued on September 30, 2003, and the parties areawaiting decisions.

    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 2001 through 2003, 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. Wealso believe 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*Judith Jack, Norton McNaughton, Energie, Erika, Gloria Vanderbilt,l.e.i., Kasper, Albert Nipon, AK Anne Klein* and *Anne Klein New York*brands). Through this diversification, we have evolved into a multidimensionalresource in apparel, footwear and accessories. We have leveraged the strength ofour brands to increase both the number of locations and amount of selling spacein which our products are offered, to introduce product extensions such as the *JonesNew York Signature, Nine West, Nine & Company, EasySpirit* and *Bandolino* apparel labels and the *Jones New York*accessory label, and to reposition the *Bandolino* and *Evan-Picone*labels to the moderate market segment.

**Acquisitions**

    We completed our acquisitions of Judith Jack on April 26,2001, McNaughton on June 19, 2001, Gloria Vanderbilt on April 8, 2002, l.e.i. onAugust 15, 2002 and Kasper on December 1, 2003. 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. Judith Jack operates in the wholesale footwear and accessories segment,Kasper operates in the wholesale better apparel and retail segments andMcNaughton, Gloria Vanderbilt and l.e.i. operate in the wholesale moderateapparel segment.

**Restructuring and Other Charges**

    During 2002 and 2003, we restructured several of ourexisting operations to reduce both excess capacity and overhead costs, includingthe closing 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. As a result, werecorded restructuring charges of $8.8 million in 2002, including $5.0 millionof employee severance and related costs, $3.3 million of asset impairments(based on estimated market values of the affected properties) and $0.5 millionof other costs. Of these charges, $0.9 million is reported as a selling, generaland administrative expense in the wholesale better apparel segment, $6.9 millionis reported as a selling, general and administrative expense in the wholesalemoderate apparel segment and $1.0 million is reported as a selling, general andadministrative expense in the wholesale

25

footwear and accessories segment. In 2003, we recorded an additionalrestructuring charge of $0.7 million related to employee severance and relatedcosts in the wholesale better segment and reversed $0.3 million of employeeseverance costs in the wholesale footwear and accessories segment.

    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.

    The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and subsequentincreases in unemployment and reduced consumer spending clearly had a negativeimpact on the United States economy during 2001 and 2002. Retailers in thosedistribution channels to which we sell our products responded to the generalsense of economic uncertainty with order reductions and extremely aggressivepromotional activity. As a result, we had the challenge in late 2001 and early2002 of liquidating inventory above our normal plan, as well as working with ourretail customers to flow inventories through the normal retail distributionchannels. Accordingly, we recorded a pre-tax charge of $86.8 million (the"special charge") in the third fiscal quarter of 2001 to provide forthe writedown of inventories and receivables. Of the special charge, $61.7million was to write down to net realizable value merchandise that we eitherowned or were committed for and needed to dispose of through off-price channels.The charge to receivables of $24.1 million was to record an incrementalprovision for customer allowances, which we anticipated we needed to provide toour retail customers in order to effectively flow goods through the retailchannels.
**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 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 *RenaRowan* line, we recorded additional trademark impairment charges of $18.6million in 2002 and$4.5 million in 2003. These charges are reported as aselling, general and administrative expense in the other and eliminationssegment.
**Termination as of December 31, 2003 of Licenses with Polo Ralph LaurenCorporation for *Lauren* and *Ralph* Brands**
    The *Ralph* License with Polo was scheduled to end onDecember 31, 2003. During the course of discussions concerning *Ralph*,Polo asserted that the expiration of the *Ralph* contract would cause the *Lauren*

 26

License agreements to end on December 31, 2003, instead of December 31, 2006.We believe that this is an improper interpretation and that the expiration ofthe *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 (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 25, 2003, we served papers opposing Polo's motion and alsoserved 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. These motions were argued on September 30, 2003, andthe parties are awaiting decisions.

    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 the year ended December 31, 2003. Thetermination of our exclusive right to manufacture and market clothing under thistrademark in the United States, Canada and elsewhere will have a materialadverse effect on our results of operations after 2003. While we are pursuingother opportunities, including internal brands (including the new lifestylebrand under the *Jones New York Signature* label), acquisitions (includingthe Kasper acquisition) and licensing options, some of which we previously wereprecluded from exploring under agreements with Polo, there is no guarantee thatwe will be able to replace all of the net sales of the *Lauren* brand.However, the loss of the *Lauren* License will not materially adverselyimpact our liquidity, and we will continue to have a strong financial position.

    The expiration of the *Ralph* License will not bematerial to us in any respect. Net sales of *Ralph* products were $30.7million for the year ended December 31, 2003.

    We and Polo have agreed that, in connection with theexpiration of the *Ralph* License, the Canada Licenses terminated as ofDecember 31, 2003. The termination of the Canada Licenses will not be materialto us in any respect. Net sales of all products under the Canada Licenses were$41.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The dispute between us andPolo does not relate to the *Polo Jeans* License in the United States, andan end to the Canada Licenses does not end our longer term *Polo Jeans*License in the United States or otherwise adversely affect the *Polo Jeans*License in the United 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.

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

Revenues by segment were as follows:

28
(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%)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.

    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*

29

footwear product lines due to a higher level of customer allowances and ahigher percentage 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.

***    Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.***Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses of $1.06billion in 2003 represented a decrease of $36.4 million from the $1.09 billionreported for 2002. In 2003, Kasper added $6.7 million to the wholesale betterapparel 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 other and eliminations segment related primarily to thediscontinuance of our *Rena Rowan* product line. The prior period reflected$31.9 million of executive compensation costs and a $24.4 million writedown of *EnzoAngiolini* footwear and costume jewelry trademarks in the other andeliminations 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.
**    2002 Compared to 2001**
***    Revenues.*** Total revenues for 2002 were $4.34billion compared to $4.10 billion for 2001, an increase of 5.9%. Excluding theeffect of the special charge mentioned above, total revenues for 2002 increased$218.2 million, or 5.3%, over 2001.

    Revenues by segment were as follows:

    As a result of the difficult economic environmentexperienced in 2001 and uncertainty as to the extent and duration of anycontinuing impact into 2002, we planned reductions across most of our wholesalebusinesses in coordination with many of our wholesale customers. In ourwholesale better apparel segment, these planned reductions significantlyimpacted shipments of our *Jones New York* and *Rena Rowan* careercollection businesses (which had experienced difficult performance at retailduring 2001) and, to a lesser extent, also affected our *Lauren by RalphLauren* collection business. Wholesale better apparel revenues for 2001 werenegatively impacted by $11.6 million relating to the special charge.

    Wholesale moderate apparel revenues increased primarily asa result of the product lines obtained as a result of the McNaughton, GloriaVanderbilt and l.e.i. acquisitions, which accounted for $528.5 million of theincrease. Increases in our *Evan-Picone* and *Nine & Company*businesseswere offset by lower sales in the *Jones Wear* and private label jeansbusinesses. Wholesale moderate apparel revenues for 2001 were negativelyimpacted by $1.0 million relating to the special charge.

    We also planned reductions in our wholesale footwear andaccessories business as a result of the uncertain retail environment. The mostsignificant decreases were experienced in *Nine West* accessories and in *EnzoAngiolini*and *Easy Spirit* footwear. The decrease is also due tomarkdowns recognized in the costume jewelry business to more aggressivelyliquidate inventories in both the wholesale and retail channels. Shipments ofthe *Nine West* footwear line increased as a result of the positivebusiness initiatives of focusing inventory on tested and proven footwear styles,as well as shortened production lead times and a broadening of productclassifications to provide more options to the consumer. Wholesale footwear andaccessories revenues for 2001 were negatively impacted by $11.5 million relatingto the special charge.

    Retail revenues decreased primarily as a result of areduction of 18 stores in 2002 compared to the prior period. Comparable storesales were down approximately 0.5% for footwear and accessories stores and downapproximately 6.0% for apparel outlet stores as compared to 2001. The decreasein the apparel stores was due to a concentration of career product locationswhich experienced difficult selling throughout 2002.

***    Gross Profit.*** The gross profit marginincreased to 38.8% in 2002 compared to 37.3% in 2001. Cost of sales included$23.1 million and $17.7 million in 2002 and 2001, respectively, related toadjustments required under purchase accounting to write up acquired inventoriesto market value upon acquisition and $61.7 million in 2001 related to thespecial charge reflected in cost of sales.

    Wholesale better apparel gross profit margins were 41.3%and 36.0% for 2002 and 2001, respectively. Wholesale better apparel cost ofsales for 2001 included $23.0 million related to the special charge. The primaryreasons for the margin increase were more favorable production costs realizedfrom offshore production and a continued focus on inventory management, whichresulted in lower off-price sales to discounters, partially offset by highercustomer allowances granted to retailers to clear product.

    Wholesale moderate apparel gross profit margins were 27.0%and 23.0% for 2002 and 2001, respectively. Wholesale moderate apparel cost ofsales for 2002 included $23.1 million in purchase accounting adjustments. Costof sales for 2001 included $16.7 million in purchase accounting adjustments and$8.2 million related to the special charge. The margin increase was primarilythe result of the addition of higher-margin businesses realized from theinclusion of McNaughton for the full year in 2002 compared to only 28 weeks in2001, as well as the addition of Gloria Vanderbilt.

    Wholesale footwear and accessories gross profit marginswere 32.0% and 32.5% for 2002 and 2001, respectively. Wholesale footwear andaccessories cost of sales for 2001 included $1.0 million in purchase accountingadjustments and $23.1 million related to the special charge. The decrease in themargin was driven by significant markdowns in the costume jewelry business tomore aggressively liquidate inventories in both the wholesale and retailchannels, and higher off-price sales to discounters and higher customerallowances in the *Nine West* accessories line. Our wholesale footwearbusiness realized a significant improvement in margins resulting primarily froma continued focus on inventory management, which resulted in lower off-pricesales to discounters.

31

    Retail gross profit margins were 53.2% and 51.7% for 2002and 2001, respectively. Retail cost of sales for 2001 included $7.4 millionrelated to the special charge. Margins in our *Nine West*retail businessbenefitted from better inventory planning and improved product assortments inour stores. This improvement was offset by more promotional activity in ourapparel outlet stores, impacted by the difficulty experienced in our *JonesNew York* career business.

***    SG&A expenses.*** SG&A expenses of$1.09 billion in 2002 represented an increase of $89.2 million from the $1.0billion reported for 2001. During 2002, SG&A expenses included $24.4 millionof trademark impairment charges. During 2001, SG&A expenses included $16.3million of trademark amortization and $1.0 million related to the specialcharge. McNaughton, Gloria Vanderbilt and l.e.i. added a total of $71.0 millionto 2002. Also contributing to the increase in SG&A expenses were the $31.9million of executive compensation costs in the other and eliminations segment,$1.9 million of costs related to the closing of a Canadian production facilityin the wholesale better apparel segment and $6.9 million of costs related to theclosing of administrative and production facilities in Mexico and Texas in thewholesale moderate apparel segment. These increases were somewhat offset by costsavings resulting from the restructuring of our costume jewelry business and acontinued focus on cost controls and efficiencies that can be realized byleveraging common functions across all divisions.

***    Operating Income.*** The resulting operatingincome for 2002 of $590.6 million increased 23.1%, or $110.7 million, from the$479.9 million for 2001 due to the factors described above.

***    Net Interest Expense.*** Net interest expensewas $58.1 million in 2002 compared to $80.1 million in 2001, resulting fromlower average borrowings, lower interest rates, the effects of interest rateswaps and using the proceeds from zero coupon convertible senior debt securitiesissued in February 2001 to repay higher-rate borrowings under our creditfacilities.

***    Provision for Income Taxes*.** The effectiveincome tax rate was 37.7% for 2002 compared to 40.9% for 2001. The decrease wasprimarily due to the elimination of nondeductible goodwill amortizationresulting from the adoption of SFAS No. 142.

***    Net Income and Earnings Per Share.*** Netincome was $318.5 million in 2002, an increase of $82.3 million from the netincome of $236.2 million earned in 2001. Diluted earnings per share for 2002 was$2.36 compared to $1.82 for 2001, on a 4.0% increase in 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, 2003, totalcash and cash equivalents were $350.0 million, an increase of $66.7 million fromthe $283.3 million reported as of December 31, 2002.

   Operatingactivities provided $455.0 million, $716.5 million and $562.4 million in 2003,2002 and 2001, respectively. 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*. The change in cashprovided by operating activities from 2001 to 2002 was primarily due to loweraccounts receivable and inventory levels, the result of a significantimprovement in both accounts receivable and inventory turns.

    Investing activities used $274.5 million, $368.7 millionand $160.3 million in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease for 2003from 2002 was primarily due to lower acquisition-related payments in

 32

2003 than in 2002. The increase for 2002 from 2001 was primarily due to theacquisitions of Gloria Vanderbilt and l.e.i.

    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 $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 Subordinated Notes Due 2007 in September 2002at 104.5% of par. These uses of funds were partially offset by $118.4 million inproceeds from the issuance of common stock to our employees exercising stockoptions.

    Financing activities used $387.2 million in 2001. Theprincipal uses of cash were to repay in full $234.7 million of our 6.25% SeniorNotes that matured on October 1, 2001. In addition, we redeemed all $0.5 millionof Nine West Group's 5-1/2% Convertible Subordinated Notes Due 2003 on December1, 2001 at 100.92% of par. In connection with the McNaughton acquisition, werepurchased all $125.0 million of McNaughton's outstanding 12-1/2% Senior Notesdue 2005, Series B. We also refinanced $146.9 million of assumed McNaughton debtand accrued interest using cash on hand and borrowings under our Senior CreditFacilities.

    In February 2001, we issued Zero Coupon Convertible SeniorNotes due 2021. Net proceeds of the offering were $392.8 million, which wereused to repay amounts then outstanding under our Senior Credit Facilities,repurchase $30.3 million of our outstanding 6.25% Senior Notes at par, and forgeneral corporate purposes. On February 2, 2004, we redeemed all of theoutstanding notes at a redemption price (inclusive of issue price plus accruedoriginal issue discount) of $554.41 per $1,000 of principal amount at maturityfor a total payment of $446.6 million, which was financed primarily through ourSenior Credit Facilities. As a result of this transaction, we will record acharge of $8.2 million in the first fiscal quarter of 2004, representing thewriteoff of unamortized bond discounts and debt issuance costs. The securitiescarried a 3.5% yield to maturity with a face value of $805.6 million ($1,000 pernote) and were convertible into common stock at a conversion rate of 9.8105shares per note.

    In January 2001, we realized $8.3 million in proceeds fromterminating interest rate swap agreements that we had entered into in June 1999,and in October 2002, we realized $21.6 million in proceeds from terminatinginterest rate swap agreements that we had entered into in April 2002 (see"Derivatives" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

    We repurchased $108.7 million, $129.2 million and $68.9million of our common stock on the open market during 2003, 2002 and 2001,respectively. As of December 31, 2003, $6.6 million of stock repurchases had notsettled and is accrued under accounts payable. As of December 31, 2003, a totalof $663.7 million had been expended under announced programs to acquire up to$800.0 million of such shares. We may make additional share repurchases in thefuture depending on, among other things, market conditions and our financialcondition. Proceeds from the issuance of common stock to our employeesexercising stock options amounted to $20.5 million, $118.4 million and $85.8million in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

    At December 31, 2003, we had credit agreements withseveral lending institutions to borrow an aggregate principal amount of up to$1.4 billion under Senior Credit Facilities. These facilities, of which theentire amount is available for letters of credit or cash borrowings, provide fora $700.0 million three-year revolving credit facility (which expires in June2006 and replaced a similar $850.0 million 364-day revolving credit facility inJune 2003) and a $700.0 million five-year revolving credit facility (whichexpires in June 2004). At December 31, 2003, $212.9 million was outstandingunder the three-year revolving credit facility (comprised solely of outstandingletters of credit) and no amounts were outstanding under our five-year revolvingcredit

facility. Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities may also be used forworking 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 McNaughton and Kasper. As of December 31,2003, $72.0 million in letters of credit were outstanding under these lines ofcredit.

    At December 31, 2003, we also had a C$25.0 millionunsecured line of credit in Canada, under which no amounts were outstanding.

    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. There are no present intentions to enter into any further transactions.  See "Short Term Bond Transactions" in Notes to Consolidated FinancialStatements.

    In 2003 and 2002, we recorded minimum pension liabilityadjustments of $3.1 million and $10.8 million, respectively, to othercomprehensive income resulting from the lowering of the discount rate from 6.5%to 6.1% in 2003 and both the negative returns on our investments and thelowering of the anticipated rate of future returns from 9.0% to 8.0% in 2002.Our plans are currently underfunded by a total of $15.9 million. As the benefitsunder our defined benefit plans are frozen with respect to service credits, theeffects on future pension expense are not anticipated to be material to ourresults of operations or to our liquidity.

    On December 1, 2003, we completed the acquisition ofKasper. The aggregate cash purchase price was $259.3 million, of which $37.6million was paid in January 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 18, 2004, we announced that the Board ofDirectors had declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share to allcommon stockholders of record as of March 1, 2004 for payment on March 12, 2004.

**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 contractualcash obligations for the periods indicated that existed as of December 31, 2003,and, except for purchase obligations and other long-term liabilities, is basedon information appearing in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(amounts in millions).

(2) Includes outstanding letters of credit of $284.9 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. On August 31, 2004, we are obligated to contribute approximately $1.0million of additional capital to the joint ventures in the form of cash orassets. As of December 31, 2003, we have committed to purchase $17.3 million inservices 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 AU$7.0 million of borrowings under the jointventure's uncommitted credit facility and up to AU$0.4 million ofpresettlement risk associated with foreign exchange transactions. Sutton isrequired to reimburse us for 50% of any payments made under these guarantees. AtDecember 31, 2003, the outstanding balance subject to these guarantees wasapproximately AU$1.0 million.

    We believe that funds generated by operations, proceedsfrom the issuance of notes, the Senior Credit Facilities and the McNaughton,Kasper and Canadian lines of credit will provide the financial resourcessufficient to meet our foreseeable working capital, dividend, capitalexpenditure and stock repurchase requirements and fund our contractualobligations and contingent liabilities and commitments.

**New Accounting Standards**
    In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149,"Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and HedgingActivities," which amends and clarifies financial accounting and reportingfor derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded inother contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedgingactivities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments andHedging Activities." The adoption of SFAS No. 149 had no impact on ourresults of operations or our financial position.

35

    In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150,"Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of bothLiabilities and Equity," which establishes standards for how an issuerclassifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics ofboth liabilities and equity. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 had no impact on ourresults of operations or our financial position.
**ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUTMARKET RISK****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 $92.6 million at December 31, 2003. We employan interest rate hedging strategy utilizing swaps to effectively float a portionof our interest rate exposure on our fixed rate financing arrangements.

    The primary interest rate exposures on floating ratefinancing arrangements are with respect to United States and Canadian short-termrates. We had approximately $1.4 billion in variable rate financing arrangementsat December 31, 2003. As of December 31, 2003, a hypothetical immediate 10%adverse change in interest rates, as they relate to the maximum availableborrowings under our variable rate financial instruments, would have a $2.5million 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 related to international subsidiaries. At December31, 2003, we had outstanding foreign exchange contracts in Canada to purchaseUS$11.0 million at a weighted-average settlement price of C$1.3489 through April2004. We believe that these financial instruments should not subject us to unduerisk due to foreign exchange movements because gains and losses on thesecontracts should offset losses and gains on the assets, liabilities, andtransactions being hedged. We are exposed to credit-related losses if thecounterparty to the financial instruments fails to perform its obligations.However, we do not expect the counterparty, which presently has high creditratings, to fail to meet its obligations.

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 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.

    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.
*Derivative Financial Instruments    Our primary objectives for holding derivative financialinstruments have historically been to manage foreign currency and interest raterisks. We do not use financial instruments for trading or other speculativepurposes. We currently use foreign currency-based derivatives to hedge both thefair value of recognized assets or liabilities (a "fair value" hedge)and the variability of anticipated cash flows of a forecasted transaction (a"cash flow" hedge). Fair value hedges are entered into in order tohedge the fair value of recognized assets or liabilities denominated innon-functional currencies. Cash flow hedges are entered into in order to hedgeforecasted inventory purchases and royalty payments that are denominated innon-functional currencies. The terms of foreign currency-based derivativeinstruments are generally less than 12 months; the terms of interest rate swapsare matched to the maturity date of the underlying debt instrument.

    On the date the derivative contract is entered into, wedesignate the derivative as either a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge.Changes in derivative fair values that are designated as fair value hedges arerecognized in earnings as offsets to the changes in fair value of the relatedhedged assets and liabilities. Changes in derivative fair values that aredesignated as cash flow hedges are deferred and recorded as a component ofaccumulated other comprehensive income until the associated hedged transactionsimpact the income statement, at which time the deferred gains and losses arereclassified to either cost of sales for inventory purchases or to selling,general and administrative expenses for all other items. Any ineffective portionof a hedging derivative's change in fair value will be immediately recognizedin selling, general and administrative expenses. Differentials to be paid orreceived under interest rate contracts are recognized in income over the life ofthe contracts as adjustments to interest expense.

43

*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 an allowancefor estimated sales returns.
*Inventories    Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market.Approximately 58% and 65% of inventories were determined by using the FIFO(first in, first out) method of valuation as of December 31, 2003 and 2002,respectively; the remainder were determined by the weighted average cost andretail methods. We make provisions for obsolete or slow moving inventories asnecessary to properly reflect inventory value.
*Property, Plant, Equipment and Depreciation    Depreciation and amortization are computed by thestraight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging fromone to 40 years.
*Leased Property Under Capital Leases    Property under capital leases is amortized over the livesof the respective leases or the estimated useful lives of the assets.
*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.
*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.
*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.

44

*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. Advertising costs associated with our cooperative advertisingprograms are accrued as the related revenues are recognized. Net advertisingexpense was $74.2 million, $75.4 million and $62.5 million in 2003, 2002 and2001, 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 stockwere outstanding during a portion of each year but were not included in thecomputation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise prices of theoptions were greater than the average market price of the common shares and,therefore, would be antidilutive.
2003      2002      2001      Number of options (in millions) 10.4 3.2 2.4Weighted average exercise price $32.88 $38.97 $39.35
* 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.

45

    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.

46

*New Accounting Standards   * In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149,"Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and HedgingActivities," which amends and clarifies financial accounting and reportingfor derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded inother contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedgingactivities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments andHedging Activities." The adoption of SFAS No. 149 had no impact on ourresults of operations or our financial position.

    In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150,"Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of bothLiabilities and Equity," which establishes standards for how an issuerclassifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics ofboth liabilities and equity. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 had no impact on ourresults of operations or our financial position.

**ACQUISITIONS**
    On December 1, 2003, we acquired 100% of the common stockof Kasper. Kasper designs, markets, sources, manufactures and distributes women'ssuits, sportswear and dresses.

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 other andeliminations segment.

    The aggregate purchase price was $259.3 million, whichincluded $221.7 million in cash payments made in 2003 and $37.6 million payablein 2004. The purchase price was allocated to Kasper'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 $57.0 million being recorded as goodwill.

    The following table summarizes the estimated fair valuesof the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. Theallocation of the purchase price has not been finalized and is subject torefinement. We do not expect any additional adjustments to be material. Anyadditional adjustments will affect the amount assigned to goodwill.

    In connection with the acquisitions of Sun, Nine WestGroup, Judith Jack, McNaughton, Gloria Vanderbilt and Kasper, 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:

    Estimated severance payments and other employee costs of$6.9 million accrued at December 31, 2003 relate to the remaining estimatedseverance for an estimated 244 employees at locations to be closed. Employeegroups affected (totaling an estimated 1,000 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 $6.4 million net addition during 2003 represents a$5.9 million increase in severance accruals related to acquisitions, which wasrecorded as goodwill, and a net $0.5 million accrual charged to operationsrelating to severance costs related to the closing and consolidation of existingfacilities.

    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, and a $5.0 million accrual of severance andother employee costs charged to operations related to the closing andconsolidation of existing facilities, including $0.4 million for the closing ofthe Canadian facility and $3.6 million for the closing of the Mexican and ElPaso facilities. The $9.1 million net addition in 2001 represents accrualsrelated to the closing of acquired administrative and plant locations, which wasrecorded as goodwill.

    During 2003, 2002 and 2001, $6.9 million, $7.1 million and$5.5 million, respectively, of the reserve was utilized (relating to partial orfull severance and related costs for 575, 270 and 225 employees, respectively).

    The $3.7 million accrued at December 31, 2003 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, as well asthe closing of the Canadian production facility.

    The $2.1 million additional accrual for 2003 relates $2.2million related to the closing of acquired facilities and retail stores, whichwas recorded as an increase to goodwill, offset by a $0.1 reduction of prioraccruals, which was recognized in operations.

    The $4.2 million additional accrual for 2002 consists of$0.4 million related to the closing of acquired facilities, which was recordedas an increase to goodwill, $0.5 million charged to operations related to theclosing of the Canadian facility and $3.3 million charged to operations relatedto the closing of the Mexican and El Paso facilities. The net reversal of $9.0million for 2001 represents a net reversal of accruals related to acquisitions,which was recorded as a reduction of goodwill.

    Other amounts reported include a net addition of $0.9million in 2001 related to the closing of certain foreign operations. Thisamount were recorded as an adjustment to goodwill.

    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 Kasper before December 1, 2004 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 Kasper will be charged to operations in theperiod in which they occur.
**PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT**
    Major classes of property, plant and equipment are asfollows:

    Depreciation and amortization expense relating toproperty, plant and equipment was $56.9 million, $52.2 million and $48.5 millionin 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

    Included in property, plant and equipment are thefollowing capitalized leases:
                  December 31,                          2003                           2002         Useful         lives         (years)        (In millions)                           Buildings $74.2               $ 48.6               15 - 20         Machinery and equipment 11.5               13.4        3 - 7     85.7       62.0               Less: accumulated amortization24.9       22.9       $ 60.8       $ 39.1       **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 secondfiscal quarter of 2002, we recorded an additional impairment charge of $5.8million related to two trademarks due to a decrease in projected accessoryrevenues resulting from a further evaluation of our 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* line, we recorded additional trademark impairment charges of$18.6 million in 2002 and $4.5 million in 2003. All trademark impairment chargesare reported as selling, general and administrative expenses in the other andeliminations segment.

    The components of other intangible assets are as  follows:

    During 2003, we acquired $19.3 million of third-partylicense agreements that have a weighted-average amortization period ofapproximately 84 months, $9.1 million of existing customer orders that have anamortization period of approximately eight months, and $0.5 million inbelow-market leases that have an amortization period of approximately 109months. Amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization was$18.5 million, $9.8 million and $5.1 million for the years ended December 31,2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

**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 and, whendeemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. Theinstruments eligible for utilization include forward, option and swapagreements. We do not use financial instruments for trading or other speculativepurposes.

    At December 31, 2003 and 2002, 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,          2003         2002        (In millions)          Carrying        Amount Fair        ValueCarrying        Amount Fair        Value         Long-term debt, including current portion $ 966.3        $ 1,018.9        $ 957.2        $ 1,027.2       Foreign currency exchange contracts 0.5        0.5        -        -       Interest rate swaps -        -        (0.7)       (0.7)      $ 966.8       $ 1,019.4       $ 956.5       $ 1,026.5       
    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.
**CREDIT FACILITIES**
    At December 31, 2003, we had credit agreements withseveral lending institutions to borrow an aggregate principal amount of up to$1.4 billion under Senior Credit Facilities. These facilities, of which theentire amount is available for letters of credit or cash borrowings, provide fora $700.0 million three-year revolving credit facility (which expires in June2006 and replaced a similar $850.0 million 364-day revolving credit facility inJune 2003) and a $700.0 million five-year revolving credit facility (whichexpires in June 2004). At December 31, 2003, $212.9 million was outstandingunder the three-year revolving credit facility (comprised solely of outstandingletters of credit) and no amounts were outstanding under our five-year revolvingcredit facility. Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities may also be usedfor working 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 McNaughton and Kasper. As of December 31,2003, $72.0 million in letters of credit were outstanding under these lines ofcredit.

    At December 31, 2003, we also had a C$25.0 millionunsecured line of credit in Canada, under which no amounts were outstanding.

    The weighted-average interest rate for cash borrowingsunder our credit facilities was 1.7% at December 31, 2003.

**LONG-TERM DEBT**
    Long-term debt consists of the following:
 December 31,        2003         2002         (In millions)     3.50% Zero Coupon Convertible Senior        Notes due 2021, net of unamortized discount of $7.7 and $8.2 $ 437.7  $ 422.0 7.50% Senior Notes due 2004, net of unamortized discount of $0.1 and $0.4 174.9  174.6 8.375% Series B Senior Notes due 2005, net of unamortized discount of $0.1 and $0.2 129.5  129.4 7.875% Senior Notes due 2006, net of unamortized discount of $0.8 and $1.1 224.2  223.9 6.98% Industrial revenue bonds, final payment due 2007 -  7.3  966.3       957.2       Less: current portion174.9       1.5        $ 791.4       $ 955.7       
    Long-term debt maturities for each of the next five yearsare $175.0 million in 2004, $129.6 million in 2005 and $225.0 million in 2006.All of our notes contain certain covenants, including, among others,restrictions on liens, sale-leaseback transactions, and additional secured debtand all except the zero coupon convertible senior debt securities pay interestsemiannually. The weighted-average interest rate of our long-term debt was 5.9%at December 31, 2003.

    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.
**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.

    During 2003, no material amounts were reclassified fromother comprehensive income to earnings relating to cash flow hedges. If foreigncurrency exchange rates or interest rates do not change from their December 31,2003 amounts, we estimate that any reclassifications from other comprehensiveincome to earnings within the next 12 months also will not be material. Theactual amounts that will be reclassified to earnings over the next 12 monthscould vary, however, as a result of changes in market conditions.

    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, with approximately $7.8 million ofpre-tax income to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months.

**OBLIGATIONS UNDER CAPITAL LEASES**
    Obligations under capital leases consist of the following:
 December 31,        2003         2002         (In millions)                 Warehouses, office facilities and equipment $ 49.6        $ 27.2       Less: current portion 5.9        4.8        Obligations under capital leases - noncurrent$ 43.7        $ 22.4

Three ten-year net leases run until February2004, July 2005 and May 2006, respectively, and require minimum annual rentpayments of $0.5 million each plus accrued interest. In connection with theseleases, we guaranteed $15.0 million of Industrial Development Bonds issued inorder to construct the facilities, $2.1 million of which remained unpaid as ofDecember 31, 2003. The financing agreement with the issuing authority requiresus to comply with the same financial covenants required by our Senior CreditFacilities (see "Credit Facilities").

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 three to seven-yearleases at an aggregate annual rental of $2.8 million. The equipment has beencapitalized at its fair market value of $10.5 million, which approximates thepresent value of the minimum lease payments.

    As of December 31, 2003, we had federal and state netoperating loss carryforwards of $28.4 million and $178.9 million, respectively,which expire through 2022. We also had capital loss carryforwards of $22.6million, which expire in 2006, and state tax credit carryforwards of $2.9million, which expire through 2019.

    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 as of December 31, 2003.

**STOCK OPTIONS AND RESTRICTED STOCK**
    Under two stock option plans, we may grant stock optionsand other awards from time to time to key employees, officers, directors,advisors and independent consultants to us or to any of our subsidiaries. Ingeneral, options become exercisable over either a three-year or five-year periodfrom the grant date and expire 10 years after the date of grant for optionsgranted on or before May 28, 2003 and seven years after the date of grantthereafter. In certain cases for non-employee directors, options becomeexercisable six months after the grant date. Shares available for future optiongrants at December 31, 2003 totaled 2.0 million. Total compensation costrecorded for stock-based employee compensation awards (including awards tonon-employee directors) was $12.2 million, $12.9 million (of which $11.3 millionwas related to executive compensation obligations) and $1.1 million for 2003,2002 and 2001, respectively.

    In connection with our acquisition of McNaughton, stockoptions for McNaughton common stock held by McNaughton employees andnon-employee directors were converted into fully-vested options to purchase ourcommon stock. Under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, each optionto purchase one share of McNaughton's common stock was converted into anoption to purchase 0.282 shares of our common stock and a cash payment averagingapproximately $5.89. Options to purchase 5.1 million shares of McNaughton commonstock were converted into options to purchase 1.4 million shares of our commonstock at a weighted average value of $17.85 per share.

    During 2003, 626,500 shares of restricted common stockwere issued to 31 employees and six executive officers under the 1999 StockIncentive Plan. The restrictions generally lapse on one-third of the number ofrestricted shares on each of the first three anniversary dates of issue or, inthe case of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Operating and FinancialOfficer, one-third of the number of restricted shares on the first dayimmediately following the end of the trading restrictions imposed by us on thegrantee with respect to the public announcement of fourth quarter financialresults for each of 2003, 2004 and 2005, provided we meet certain target levelsof free cash flow (cash flow from operations less capital expenditures) for theyear immediately preceding the lapse date. The value of this stock based onquoted market values was $18.8 million, which we are amortizing over the periodin which the restrictions lapse. The restrictions do not affect voting anddividend rights.

    During 2002, 293,000 shares of restricted common stockwere issued to 75 employees and two executive officers under the 1999 StockIncentive Plan. The restrictions lapse on one-third of the number of restrictedshares on each of the third, fourth and fifth anniversary dates of issue or, inthe case of the executive officers, one-third of the number of restricted shareson the first day immediately following the end of the trading restrictionsimposed by us on the grantee with respect to the public announcement of fourthquarter financial results for each of 2003, 2004 and 2005, provided we meetcertain target levels of free cash flow for the year immediately preceding thelapse date. The value of this stock based on quoted market values was $10.8million, which we are amortizing over the period in which the restrictionslapse. The restrictions do not affect voting and dividend rights.

    During 2001, 100,000 shares of restricted common stockwere issued to an executive officer under the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan. Therestrictions originally were to lapse on one-third of the number of restrictedshares on each of the first three anniversary dates of issue; however, allrestrictions were lifted upon the executive officer's retirement in 2002. Thevalue of this stock based on quoted market values was $3.7 million, of which$1.1 million was recorded in 2001 and $2.6 million was recorded in 2002.
**EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS***Defined Contribution Plans*
    We maintain the Jones Apparel Group, Inc. Retirement Plan(the "Jones Plan") under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code(the "Code"). Employees not covered by a collective bargainingagreement and meeting certain other requirements are eligible to participate inthe Jones Plan. Under the Jones Plan, participants may elect to have up to 15%of their salary (subject to limitations imposed by the Code) deferred anddeposited with a qualified trustee, who in turn invests the money in a varietyof investment vehicles as selected by each participant. All employeecontributions into the Jones Plan are 100% vested.

    We have elected to make the Jones Plan a "Safe HarborPlan" under Section 401(k)(12) of the Code. As a result of this election,we make a fully-vested safe harbor matching contribution for all eligibleparticipants amounting to 100% of the first 3% of the participant's salarydeferred and 50% of the next 2% of salary deferred, subject to maximums set bythe Department of the Treasury. We may, at our sole discretion, contributeadditional amounts to all employees on a pro rata basis. Matching contributionsmade prior to 2000 continue to vest over their original five-year period.

    In connection with the acquisitions of Nine West Group,Victoria, McNaughton and Gloria Vanderbilt we assumed additional plans in whichcertain employees participate.

    Nine West Group and Victoria maintained definedcontribution plans and McNaughton maintained two such plans under Section 401(k)of the Code. Certain employees not covered by a collective bargaining agreementand meeting certain other requirements were eligible to participate in theseplans. Participants could elect to have a portion (typically up to 15%) of theirsalary deferred and deposited with a qualified trustee, who in turn invested themoney in a variety of investment vehicles as selected by each participant. Allemployee contributions into these plans were 100% vested. We matched a portionof the participant's contributions subject to subject to maximums set by theDepartment of the Treasury. The Nine West Group, Victoria and two McNaughtonplans were merged into the Jones Plan on December 16, 2002, April 2, 2002,November 22, 2002 and December 20, 2002, respectively.

    Gloria Vanderbilt maintained a defined contribution planunder Section 401(k) of the Code. Gloria Vanderbilt employees meeting certainrequirements were eligible to participate in the plan. Under the plan,participants could elect to have up to 15% of their salary (subject tolimitations imposed by the Code) deferred and deposited with a qualifiedtrustee, who in turn invested the money in a variety of investment vehicles asselected by each participant. Gloria Vanderbilt's matching contributionamounted to 25% of the first 6% of the participant's salary deferred, subjectto maximums set by the Department of the Treasury. All participant contributionsinto the plan are 100% vested; employer contributions vested over a six-yearperiod. This plan was merged into the Jones Plan on January 26, 2004.

    Kasper maintains a defined contribution plan under Section401(k) of the Code. Kasper employees meeting certain requirements are eligibleto participate in the plan. Under the plan, participants can elect to have up to50% of their salary (subject to limitations imposed by the Code) deferred anddeposited with a qualified trustee, who in turn invests the money in a varietyof investment vehicles as selected by each participant. Kasper's matching andprofit sharing contributions are discretionary, with recent matchingcontributions amounting to 50% of the first 3% of the participant's salarydeferred, subject to maximums set by the Department of the Treasury. Allparticipant contributions into the plan are 100% vested; employer contributionsvest over a three-year period and profit sharing contributions vest over afive-year period.

    We contributed approximately $6.4 million, $6.9 millionand $5.1 million to our defined contribution plans during 2003, 2002 and 2001,respectively.

    Prior to June 30, 2002, McNaughton maintained a profitsharing plan covering certain employees with more than one year of continuousservice. Vesting occurred at a rate of 25% per year and employees were fullyvested after four years. Profit sharing plan assets consisted primarily ofstocks, bonds and U.S. Government securities. The plan provided for an accrualof up to 15% of each employee's gross compensation plus bonus, up to a maximumcontribution of approximately $25,500 per employee. Our cost related to thisplan was $0.3 million and $0.6 million in 2002 and 2001, respectively. On June30, 2002, this plan was terminated, with the participants having the choice ofeither receiving their balances in cash or having their balances transferredinto the Jones Plan.
*Defined Benefit Plans*
    We maintain several defined benefit plans, including thePension Plan for Associates of Nine West Group Inc. (the "Cash BalancePlan") and The Napier Company Retirement Plan for certain associates ofVictoria (the "Napier Plan"). The Cash Balance Plan expressesretirement benefits as an account balance which

 increases each year through interest credits. All benefits under the NapierPlan are frozen at the amounts earned by the participants as of December 31,1995. Our funding policy is to make the minimum annual contributions required byapplicable regulations. We plan to contribute $5.5 million to our definedbenefit plans in 2004. The measurement date for all plans is December 31.

Theinvestment managers have full discretion to manage their portion of theinvestments subject to the objectives and policies of the respective plans. Theperformance of the investment managers is reviewed on a regular basis. Theprimary objectives are to achieve a rate of return sufficient to meet currentand future plan cash requirements and to emphasize long-term growth of principalwhile avoiding excessive risk and maintaining fund liquidity. At December 31,2003, the weighted-average target allocation percentages for fund investmentswere 34% fixed income securities, 51% U. S. Equity securities, and 15%international securities.

    To determine the overall expected long-termrate-of-return-on-assets assumption, we add an expected inflation rate to theexpected long-term real returns of our various asset classes, taking intoaccount expected volatility and correlation between the returns of the assetclasses as follows: for equities and real estate, a historical averagearithmetic real return; for government fixed-income securities, current yieldson inflation-indexed bonds; and for corporate fixed-income securities, the yieldon government fixed-income securities plus a blend of current and historicalcredit spreads.

**BUSINESS SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC AREA INFORMATION**
    We identify operating segments based on, among otherthings, the way our management organizes the components of our business forpurposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. With the addition ofMcNaughton in 2001 and the recent acquisitions of Gloria Vanderbilt and l.e.i.,we redefined our reportable operating segments effective January 1, 2002. Ouroperations are comprised of four reportable segments: wholesale better apparel,wholesale moderate apparel, wholesale footwear and accessories, and retail.Segment revenues are generated from the sale of apparel, footwear andaccessories through wholesale channels and our own retail locations. Thewholesale segments include wholesale operations with third party department andother retail stores, the retail segment includes operations by our own stores,and income and expenses related to trademarks, licenses and general corporatefunctions are reported under "other and eliminations." We definesegment profit as operating income before net interest expense, equity inearnings of unconsolidated affiliates, income taxes and (for periods prior toJanuary 1, 2002) amortization of goodwill. Summarized below are our revenues,income and total assets by reportable segments.

    In September 2001, we recorded a pre-tax charge of $86.8million to write down inventory and receivables resulting from the change in theeconomic climate in the aftermath of the events of September 11, 2001. Of thecharge, $61.7 million was to write down to net realizable value goods that weeither owned or were committed for and needed to dispose of through off-pricechannels. The charge to receivables of $24.1 million was to record anincremental provision for customer allowances, which we anticipated we needed toprovide to our retail customers in order to effectively flow goods through theretail channels.

**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 controls can provide absolute assurance that allcontrol issues and instances of fraud (if any) within the company have beendetected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments indecision-making can be faulty and that simple errors or mistakes can occur.Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, bycollusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. Thedesign of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptionsabout the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that anydesign will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential futureconditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes inconditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures maydeteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective controlsystem, misstatements due to error 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

71

information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings and thatinformation required to be disclosed by us in these periodic filings isrecorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specifiedin the SEC's rules and forms and that our internal controls are effective toprovide reasonable assurance that our financial statements are fairly presentedin 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.
