5.  RESTRUCTURING OF SAVANE INTERNATIONAL CORP.

On April 18, 2002, the Company  announced a plan to consolidate the  administrative,  cutting and related functions
of the Savane  division in El Paso,  Texas into the Tampa,  Florida  facility.  The Company intends to complete all
aspects of this  consolidation  by March 2003. As part of the  consolidation,  the Company has vacated its El Paso,
Texas administration building and cutting facility.

As a result of these  initiatives  (internally  referred  to as  "Project  Synergy"),  the  Company  recorded  exit
accruals  related to this  consolidation  during fiscal 2002.  During the first fiscal  quarter of fiscal 2003, the
Company reduced certain of these exit accruals as the consolidation  project is nearing  completion and better cost
estimates were available.  As of December 28, 2002, the Company has  approximately  $2.7 million  accrued,  related
to exit costs, which primarily consist of lease  terminations ($2.1 million),  severance ($0.1 million) and related
expenses  ($0.5  million).  The activity in the exit accruals  related to Project  Synergy during the first quarter
of fiscal 2003 was as follows:


                                                  Thirteen weeks ended

The Company has remaining accrued liabilities related to the 1998 acquisition of Savane International Corp. The
exit costs primarily consist of estimated lease  termination  costs and related  expenses.  The activity in the
exit accruals related to this acquisition during the first quarter of fiscal 2003 was as follows:

6.       RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In October  2001,  the FASB  issued  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standard  No. 144,  "Accounting  for the
Impairment or Disposal of  Long-Lived  Assets"  (Statement  No. 144),  which is effective for financial  statements
issued for fiscal  years  beginning  after  December  15, 2001 and  interim  periods  within  those  fiscal  years.
Statement No. 144 supersedes  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standard No. 121,  "Accounting for the Impairment
of  Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to be Disposed Of," and provides a single  accounting  model for
long-lived  assets to be  disposed  of. The  adoption  of  Statement  No. 144 has not had a material  impact on the
Company's financial position and results of operations.

In  April  2002,  the FASB  issued  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standard  No.  145,  "Rescission  of FASB
Statements No. 4, 44 and 64,  Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical  Corrections"  (Statement No. 145),
which is effective for fiscal years  beginning  after May 15, 2002.  This Statement  rescinds FASB Statement No. 4,
"Reporting  Gains and  Losses  from  Extinguishment  of  Debt," as well as an  amendment  of that  Statement,  FASB
Statement No. 64,  "Extinguishments  of Debt Made to Satisfy  Sinking-Fund  Requirements," as debt  extinguishments
are no longer  classified as extraordinary  items unless they meet the requirements in Accounting  Principles Board
Opinion  No.  30  of  being  unusual  and  infrequently  occurring.  This  Statement  also  amends  other  existing
authoritative  pronouncements  to make various  technical  corrections.  The adoption of Statement  No. 145 has not
had a material impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

In June  2002,  the FASB  issued  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standard  No.  146,  "Accounting  for Costs
Associated  with Exit or  Disposal  Activities"  (Statement  No.  146),  which is  effective  for exit or  disposal
activities  that are initiated  after  December 31, 2002.  Statement No. 146 nullifies  Emerging  Issues Task Force
No. 94-3,  "Liability  Recognition for Certain  Employee  Termination  Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity
(including  Certain Costs Incurred in a  Restructuring)"  (EITF 94-3).  Statement No. 146 requires that a liability
for a cost  associated  with an exit or  disposal  activity  be  recognized  when the  liability  is  incurred  and
eliminates  the definition  and  requirements  of recognition of exit costs in EITF 94-3. The adoption of Statement
No. 146 will affect the timing of recognition of costs associated with any future restructuring activities.

In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards Statement No. 148,  "Accounting for
Stock-Based  Compensation - Transition  and  Disclosure"  (Statement No. 148),  which is effective for fiscal years
beginning  after  December 31, 2002.  Statement No. 148 amends FASB Statement No. 123,  Accounting for  Stock-Based
Compensation,  to provide  alternative methods of transition to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based
employee  compensation.  In addition,  Statement  No. 148 amends the  disclosure  provisions  of  Statement  123 to

8.   SUPPLEMENTAL COMBINING CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company's  Senior  Subordinated  Notes,  due 2008 (the "Notes") are jointly and severally  guaranteed fully and
unconditionally  by the  Company's  domestic  subsidiaries  which  are 100%  owned  by  Tropical  Sportswear  Int'l
Corporation  (the "Parent").  The Company's  wholly-owned  foreign  subsidiaries are not guarantors with respect to
the Notes and do not have any credit arrangements  senior to the Notes except for their local overdraft  facilities
and capital lease obligations.

The following is the unaudited  supplemental  combining  condensed  statement of operations  for the thirteen weeks
ended December 28, 2002 and December 29, 2001, the supplemental  combining  condensed  balance sheet as of December
28,  2002 and  September  28,  2002,  and the  supplemental  combining  condensed  statement  of cash flows for the
thirteen weeks ended December 28, 2002, and December 29, 2001. The only  intercompany  eliminations  are the normal
intercompany  sales,  borrowings  and  investments  in  wholly-owned  subsidiaries.   Separate  complete  financial
statements of the guarantor  subsidiaries are not presented because management  believes that they are not material
to investors.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The  following  discussion  and  analysis  of the  Company's  results of  operations  is based  upon our  unaudited
consolidated  financial  statements,  which have been prepared in accordance with accounting  principles  generally
accepted in the United States.  The  preparation  of financial  statements in conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting  principles  requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities,  revenues and expenses,  and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  These estimates
and  assumptions  are based on historical and other facts believed to be reasonable  under the  circumstances,  the
results of which form the basis for making  judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities  that are
not  readily  apparent  from other  sources.  Actual  results  may differ  materially  from these  estimates  under
different  assumptions  or  conditions.  We have chosen  accounting  policies  that we believe are  appropriate  to
accurately and fairly report our operating results and financial  position,  and we apply those accounting policies
in a consistent  manner.  We have  identified  the policies  below as critical to our business  operations  and the
understanding of our results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

Inventories  -  Inventories  are  stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is  determined  using the  first-in,
first-out  method.  We evaluate our inventory by style,  color and size to determine  excess or slow moving product
based on projected  sales.  We record  provisions for markdowns and losses on excess and  slow-moving  inventory to
the  extent  the cost of  inventory  exceeds  estimated  net  realizable  value.  If actual  market  conditions  or
competitive pressures change, the level of inventory reserves would change.

Reserve for  Allowances  and Doubtful  Accounts - Accounts  receivable  consists of amounts due from our  customers
from our normal business  activities.  We maintain a reserve for allowances and doubtful  accounts,  which is based
on  historical  collection  and  deduction  write-off  experience,  and an estimate  of  potential  sales  returns.
Estimates for sales returns  include  provision for order  shortages,  purchase order  variances and other customer
discrepancies.  For fiscal  2002,  we did not  provide a reserve  for  credit  losses as  substantially  all of our
receivables  were assigned under  factoring  agreements,  without  recourse,  except for credit losses on the first
0.10% of amounts factored.  During fiscal 2003, we intend to discontinue  factoring of our receivables,  but expect
to maintain credit  insurance for those accounts which we deem  necessary.  We will continue to assess the adequacy
of our reserves based on qualitative and quantitative measures.

Long-Lived  Assets - We estimate the  depreciable  lives of our  property,  plant and equipment and review them for
impairment  when  events or  circumstances  indicate  that their  carrying  amounts  may be  impaired.  Most of our
property,  plant and equipment is used in our cutting and  distribution  processes.  We  periodically  evaluate the
carrying value of assets which are held for sale to determine if, based on market  conditions,  the values of these
assets  should be adjusted.  Although we believe we have  appropriately  recorded our assets held for sale at their
estimated  realizable  value,  net of  estimated  disposal  costs,  the actual sale of these assets could result in
gains or losses  which could  differ from our  estimated  amounts.  To assess the  recoverability  of goodwill  and
other intangible assets, we make assumptions  regarding  estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine
whether the carrying values are recoverable from operations.  If these  assumptions or estimates  change, we may be
required to record impairment charges to reduce the value of these assets.

Valuation  Allowances  for Deferred Tax Assets - Valuation  allowances  are recorded to reduce  deferred tax assets
if,  based on the weight of the  evidence,  it is more likely than not that some or all of the  deferred tax assets
will not be realized.  The evidence  considered  in making that  determination  includes,  offsetting  deferred tax
liabilities,  future taxable income, as well as prudent tax planning  strategies.  We have recorded deferred income
tax assets related to state net operating loss  carryforwards,  foreign net operating loss  carryforwards,  foreign
tax credit  carryforwards and certain other accruals.  We have recorded valuation allowances to reduce the deferred
tax assets  relating to these  operating  loss  carryforwards  and accruals  based on an evaluation of the benefits
expected to be  realized.  If we  determine  that we would be able to realize  more of our net  deferred tax assets
than we  currently  expect,  we would reduce the  valuation  allowance,  which would have the effect of  increasing
income in the  period  that we make the  determination.  Conversely,  if we  determine  that we will not be able to
realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, we will increase the valuation  allowance,  which
would have the effect of reducing income in the period that we make the determination.

Contingencies  - The Company  accrues  for  contingent  obligations,  including  estimated  legal  costs,  when the
obligations are probable and the amount is reasonably  estimable.  As facts concerning  contingencies become known,
we reassess  our  position  and make  appropriate  adjustments  to the  financial  statements.  Estimates  that are
particularly  sensitive to future  changes  include  tax,  legal and other  regulatory  matters such as imports and
exports,  which are subject to change as events evolve and as additional  information  becomes available during the
administrative and litigation process.

Results of Operations

On April 18, 2002 we  announced a plan to  consolidate  the  administrative,  cutting and related  functions of the
Savane  division in El Paso,  Texas into the Tampa,  Florida  facility.  We intend to complete  all aspects of this
consolidation by March 2003. As part of the consolidation,  we vacated our El Paso, Texas  administration  building
and cutting  facility.  We have experienced  delays and  difficulties in  consolidating  our El Paso, Texas cutting
functions into our Tampa,  Florida facilities that have resulted in delays in delivering  products to our customers
and lost sales in our first  quarter of fiscal 2003.  In  addition,  during the first  quarter of fiscal  2003,  we
recorded  sales  allowances  of  approximately  $4.3  million  related to  delivery  issues  associated  with these
initiatives  (internally  referred to as "Project  Synergy").  These  difficulties  could impact our second  fiscal
quarter of fiscal 2003, as we may incur additional allowances associated with delivery issues.

On January 20, 2003,  we announced an agreement  with Swiss Army Brands,  Inc.  ("SABI"),  whereby SABI will assume
the operations of our Victorinox(R)apparel  division within the next 90 days. We are working closely  together with
SABI to effect a seamless  transition.  On January 20,  2003,  we also  announced  our  intention  to exit our Duck
Head(R)retail outlet  business as leases expire.  We currently  operate sixteen outlet stores and expect that by the
end of calendar 2003, no more than eight will be in operation.  We believe that exiting these two  businesses  will
free up valuable  resources that can be devoted to our core business.  As a result of exiting these businesses,  we
expect that our revenues will be reduced, but that our profitability will increase.

statements of income expressed as a percentage of net sales:

Thirteen weeks ended December 28, 2002 compared to the thirteen weeks ended December 29, 2001

         Net  Sales.  Net sales  decreased  to $99.0  million  for the first  quarter  of fiscal  2003 from  $110.0
million in the  comparable  prior year quarter.  The decrease was due to a decrease in units sold and a decrease in
the  average  price  per  unit.  Net  sales for the first  quarter  of  fiscal  2003  were also  impacted  by sales
allowances of approximately  $4.3 million related to delivery issues  associated with Project  Synergy,  which were
recorded as a reduction of net sales.

         Gross  Profit.  Gross profit  decreased to $20.8  million,  or 21.0% of net sales for the first quarter of
fiscal 2003 from $31.6  million,  or 28.8% of net sales for the  comparable  prior year  quarter.  The  decrease in
gross  profit as a  percentage  of net sales was due to a reduction  in average  selling  prices as a result of the
highly competitive retail environment, a mix of lower margin sales, and increased sales allowances.

         Selling,  General and Administrative  Expenses.  Selling,  general and administrative expenses decreased to
$22.3  million,  or 22.5% of net sales for the first  quarter of fiscal 2003,  from $24.1  million,  or 21.9% of net
sales,  for the  comparable  prior year quarter.  The decrease in operating  expenses was due to the decrease in net
sales and to cost savings initiatives.

         Other  Charges.  Other  charges  of $3.8  million  was  comprised  of a $5.7  million  charge  related to a
separation  agreement  with our former  chief  executive  officer,  offset in part by a $1.9  million  reduction  of
estimated costs for Project  Synergy as the  consolidation  project is nearing  completion and better cost estimates
were available.

         Interest  Expense.  Interest expense  decreased to $2.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2003, from
$3.6 million for the  comparable  prior year quarter.  The decrease was primarily due to lower average  outstanding
borrowings.

         Other,  net.  During the first  quarter of fiscal  2003,  we recorded  other income of $91,000 as compared
with other income of $724,000 for the first  quarter of fiscal 2002.  The decrease was  primarily due to a decrease
in royalty income.

         Income  Taxes.  The  Company's  effective  income tax rate for the first  quarter of fiscal 2003 was 37.7%
compared to 37.1% in the comparable prior year quarter.

         Net  Income  (Loss).  As a result of the above  factors,  we  incurred a net loss of $5.0  million  for the
first quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to net income of $2.9 million in the comparable prior year quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our  revolving  credit line (the  "Facility")  provides for  borrowings  of up to $110  million,  subject to certain
borrowing  base  limitations.  Borrowings  under the  Facility  bear  variable  rates of interest and are secured by
substantially  all of the  Company's  domestic  assets.  As of December  28,  2002,  the Company had no  outstanding
borrowings  under the  Facility.  The  Facility  matures  in June  2003.  We  believe  we will be able to extend the
Facility or obtain similar financing on comparable terms on or before the maturity date.

In June 2002,  the  Company  completed  a public  offering  of 3.0  million  shares of common  stock.  The  Company
received net proceeds of approximately  $63.2 million,  of which  approximately $32.0 million was used to repay all
outstanding  borrowings  under the Facility,  to pay down a portion of the Company's real estate loan, and to repay
certain  capital lease  obligations.  The remaining $31.2 million is being used for the payment of the cash portion
of the Project  Synergy  charges,  the  construction  of a new  administration  facility in Tampa,  Florida and for
working capital and general corporate purposes, including acquisitions.

Capital  expenditures  totaled  $5.8  million for the  thirteen  weeks ended  December  28, 2002 and are expected to
approximate  $17.0 to $20.0 million for the entire fiscal year. The  expenditures  expected for the remainder of the
fiscal  year  primarily  relate to the  construction  of an  administration  building  in Tampa,  Florida,  which is
expected to be  completed  during the quarter  ended March 2003,  and the upgrade or  replacement  of various  other
equipment and computer  systems  including  hardware and software.  We are currently  exploring the  opportunity for
the leasing of unused space in the new administration building.

During the thirteen  weeks ended  December  28,  2002,  we used $12.4  million of cash in our  operations.  This was
primarily the result of net loss of $5.0 million (which included non-cash  expenses of $1.5 million),  a decrease in
inventories  of $13.4  million,  a decrease in prepaid  expenses and other  current  assets of $1.3  million,  and a
decrease  in  accounts  payable and  accrued  expenses  of $5.0  million,  offset in part by an increase in accounts
receivable of $10.8 million.

We believe that our existing  working  capital,  borrowings  available  under our Facility and internally  generated
funds provide sufficient resources to support current business activities.

Seasonality

Our  business has been  generally  seasonal,  with higher sales and income in the second and third fiscal  quarters.
Also,  some of our products,  such as shorts and corduroy  pants,  tend to be seasonal in nature.  If these types of
seasonal  products  represent a greater  percentage of our sales in the future,  the seasonality of our sales may be
increased.  This could alter the  differences  in sales and income  levels in the second and third  fiscal  quarters
from the first and fourth fiscal quarters.

Factors Affecting the Company's Business and Prospects

This  report  contains  forward-looking  statements  subject to the safe harbor  created by the Private  Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Management  cautions that these statements  represent  projections and estimates of
future  performance and involve certain risks and  uncertainties.  Our actual results could differ  materially from
those  anticipated  in  these  forward-looking  statements  as a  result  of  certain  factors  including,  without
limitation:  difficulties  in achieving  continued  operating  efficiencies;  our  inability  to achieve  projected
revenue and earnings in fiscal 2003;  disruptions in the business  associated with the consolidation of the cutting
and  administrative  functions of the Savane division from El Paso,  Texas to Tampa,  Florida;  loss of programs or
customers as a result of product  delivery  problems in the fiscal second  quarter;  failure to achieve the planned
cost  savings  associated  with the  consolidation  and  reorganization;  failure  of our  customers  to accept our
post-consolidation  integrated  production  and selling of products;  disruptions in the business  associated  with
changes in  management;  negative  effects  from the  termination  of the  Victorinox(R)license  agreement  and the
transition of this business to Swiss Army Brands,  Inc.;  negative effects  resulting from our decision to exit out
of our Duck Head(R)retail  outlet  business;  restrictions  and  limitations  placed on us by our debt  instruments;
general  economic  conditions,  including  but not  necessarily  limited to,  recession or other  cyclical  effects
impacting our  customers in the United  States or abroad,  changes in interest  rates or currency  exchange  rates;
potential  changes  in  demand  in the  retail  market;  reduction  in the  level  of the  consumer  spending;  the
availability and price of raw materials and global  manufacturing  costs and restrictions;  increases in costs; the
continued  acceptance of our existing and new products by our major customers;  the financial strength of our major
customers;  our inability to continue to use certain licensed trademarks and tradenames,  including Bill Blass(R)and
Van Heusen(R);  business  disruptions  and costs arising from acts of terrorism or other military  activities  around
the  globe;  and other  risk  factors  listed  from time to time in our SEC  reports,  filings  and  announcements,
including  our Annual  Report on Form 10-K.  In addition,  the  estimated  financial  results for any period do not
necessarily  indicate the results that may be expected for any future  period,  and we undertake no  obligation  to
update them.


Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our market risk is primarily  limited to fluctuations in interest rates as it pertains to our borrowings  under the
Facility  and the Real Estate  Loan.  There have been no  material  changes to the Item 7A  disclosure  made in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2002.

                Our Chief Executive  Officer and Chief Financial  Officer have evaluated the  effectiveness  of our
                disclosure  controls  and  procedures  (as such term is defined in Rules  13a-14(c)  and  15d-14(c)
                under the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934,  as amended) as of a date within 90 days prior to the
                filing date of this  quarterly  report  (the  "Evaluation  Date").  Based on such  evaluation,  our
                Chief  Executive  Officer and Chief  Financial  Officer have  concluded  that as of the  Evaluation
                Date, our disclosure  controls and procedures  provide  reasonable  assurance that they are alerted
                on a timely  basis to  material  information  relating  to Tropical  Sportswear  Int'l  Corporation
                (including  its  consolidated  subsidiaries)  required  to be  included  in our  reports  filed  or
                submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

        (b)     Changes in Internal Controls

                Since the  Evaluation  Date,  there have not been any  changes in our  internal  controls  or other
                factors that could significantly affect such controls.
