CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1999, and the consolidated 
statements of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended 
March 31, 1999, have been prepared by Haggar Corp. (the "Company") without 
audit.  In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments (which 
include only normal recurring adjustments) to present fairly the consolidated 
financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company at 
March 31, 1999, and for all other periods presented, have been made.  Certain 
information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial 
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles have been omitted.  These financial statements should be read in 
conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying footnotes in the 
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1998.

ACQUISITION

On January 13, 1999, the Company acquired Jerell Inc., a company engaged in 
the design and marketing of women's apparel, for an aggregate acquisition 
cost of $42.7 million. The acquisition cost consists of $36.9 million paid to 
the shareholders of Jerell, $0.4 million as consideration for a covenant not 
to compete to an executive officer, $4.7 million paid to a third party 
factor, and $0.7 million in expenses attributable to the acquisition.  In 
conjunction with the acquisition, the Company received payments of notes 
receivable due from former stockholders of Jerell Inc. of $2.8 million and 
payments of $0.7 million from former stockholders of Jerell Inc. for tax 
withholdings, resulting in a net acquisition cost of $39.2 million.  The 
acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method.  Based on 
preliminary estimates, which may be revised at a later date, the excess 
consideration paid over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired of 
approximately $28.7 million was recorded as goodwill and is being amortized 
on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 20 years.  The 
Company's consolidated financial statements have incorporated Jerell's 
operating results from the effective date of the acquisition.  The following 
unaudited pro forma financial information combines the results of operations 
of the Company and Jerell Inc. as if the acquisition had taken place at the 
beginning of fiscal 1998. These results are not intended to be a projection 
of future results.

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of
credit risk, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
No. 105, "Disclosure of Information about Financial Instruments with Off-Balance
Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments with Concentrations of Credit Risk,"
consist primarily of trade accounts receivable.  The Company's customers are not
concentrated in any specific geographic region but are concentrated in the
apparel industry. The Company's largest current customer, J.C. Penney Company,
Inc., accounted for 26.3% and 28.9% of the Company's net sales for the six
months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.  The Company's second
largest current customer, Kohl's Department Stores, Inc., accounted for 11.4%
and 10.4% of the Company's net sales for the six months ended March 31, 1999 and
1998, respectively.  No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the
Company's net sales.   The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its
customers' financial condition and establishes an allowance for doubtful
accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers,
historical trends, and other information.

DUE FROM FACTOR

Jerell Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, has a factoring agreement with a
factor for the purpose of providing credit administration.  Under the terms of
the factoring agreement, the factor purchases substantially all of Jerell's
trade accounts receivable without recourse.

Net assets mortgaged or subject to lien under the Industrial Development Revenue
Bonds totaled approximately $1,009,620 at March 31, 1999.

As of March 31, 1999, the Company had a revolving credit line agreement (the
"Agreement") with certain banks.  During the first quarter, the Company amended
the Agreement to accommodate the acquisition of Jerell in the second quarter. 
As of March 31, 1999, the Company had additional available borrowing capacity of
approximately $62,000,000.  The Company incurred approximately $78,000 in
commitment fees related to the available borrowing capacity for the six month
period ended March 31, 1999.  The interest rates for the six months period ended
March 31, 1999, ranged from 5.58% to 7.75%.  The facility will mature June 30,
2001, with a one year renewal at the option of the banks and is unsecured,
except that the Company is prohibited from pledging its accounts receivable and
inventories during the term of the Agreement.  The Agreement contains
limitations on incurring additional indebtedness and requires the maintenance of
certain financial ratios.  In addition, the agreement requires the Company and
Haggar Clothing Co., the Company's main operating subsidiary, to maintain
tangible net worth, as defined, in excess of $145,000,000 and $55,000,000,
respectively, as of March 31, 1999. The Agreement requires the Company to
maintain a tangible net worth in excess of the tangible net worth of the
preceding fiscal year plus 50% of the Company's consolidated net income.  The
Agreement prohibits the payment of any dividend if a default exists.


CONTINGENCIES

On September 22, 1998, Hurricane Georges damaged two of the Company's leased
manufacturing facilities.  Both facilities are insured for damage to the
building, equipment, and inventory, for business interruption.  Although the
total assessment of damage has not been completed, the range of loss is
estimated to be $6.0 to $8.0 million, substantially all of which is expected to
be covered by insurance.  Insurance proceeds are expected to be used to repair
the roofs, fix equipment, and cover the inventory losses.  The deductibles for
the insurance claims are not considered significant.

NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE - BASIC AND DILUTED

Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net
income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the
period.  Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the
sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period
and the number of equivalent shares assumed outstanding under the Company's
stock based compensation plans.

Options to purchase 1,240,183 and 899,683 common shares at prices ranging from
$11.00 to $23.00 were not dilutive and were outstanding for the three and six
months ended March 31, 1999. Options to purchase 254,106 and 335,019 common
shares at prices ranging from $15.88 to $23.00 were not dilutive and were
outstanding for the three and six months ended March 31, 1998.  These shares for
the aforementioned periods were not included in the diluted earnings per share
calculation because the options' exercise prices were greater than the average
market price of the common shares.  Diluted earnings per share was calculated as
follows (in thousands, except per share data):

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

LAWSUIT.  On April 28, 1999, a jury returned an approximate $3.6 million 
verdict against Haggar Clothing Co. and in favor of a former employee 
relating to claims for wrongful discharge and common law tort. Although the 
jury returned a verdict, the court has not yet rendered judgment on such 
verdict. Therefore, the case is presently neither final nor appealable.

The Company believes the verdict in this lawsuit was both legally and factually
incorrect.  The Company intends to file a motion requesting the court to render
judgement in favor of the Company notwithstanding the jury verdict.  If the jury
verdict is not set aside or modified by the trial court, the Company presently
intends to appeal the judgment after it is rendered by the court.  The Company,
however, is presently unable to determine the likelihood of an unfavorable
outcome to such motion or appeals.

DIVIDENDS.  On April 27, 1999, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.05 per
share payable to the stockholders of record on May 10, 1999.  The dividend of
approximately $359,000 will be paid on or before May 24, 1999.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached
consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto and with the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

On January 13, 1999, the Company completed its acquisition of Jerell Inc., a
company engaged in the design and marketing of women's apparel.  The Company's
consolidated financial statements incorporate Jerell's activity from the
effective date of the acquisition.

The Company's second quarter of fiscal 1999 net income of $1.9 million compares
to net income of $1.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1998.  Net income
to common stockholders for the six months ended March 31, 1999, was $2.4 million
compared to $2.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 1998.  The increase
in net income for the three and six months ended March 31, 1999, from 1998
relates to the increase in net sales from Haggar and the inclusion of Jerell's
net sales.  

Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, increased 27.0% to $120.3
million from $94.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal 1998.  The increase
in net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 1999 is the combined result of an
18.7% increase in unit sales, a 2.3% decrease in the average sales price, and
the inclusion of Jerell's net sales activities since the acquisition.  Net sales
for the six months ended March 31, 1999, increased 4.0% to $205.1 million
compared to $197.2 million in the prior fiscal year.  The 4.0% increase in the
first six months of fiscal 1999 is the result of an increase in unit sales and
the inclusion of Jerell's net sales activities since the acquisition.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 31.4% in the second
quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to 31.1% in the second quarter of the prior
fiscal year.  Gross profit for the first six months of fiscal 1999 increased to
32.9% compared to 30.6% in the first six months of fiscal 1998.  The increase in
gross profit is primarily the result of fewer inventory markdowns and an
improved manufacturing mix, which reduced the Company's cost per unit.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales
increased slightly to 28.9% in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to
28.8% in the second quarter of fiscal 1998.  Actual selling, general and
administrative expenses increased to $34.8 million in the second quarter of
fiscal 1999 compared to $27.3 million in the same quarter in fiscal 1998.  The
$7.5 million increase relates to the inclusion of Jerell expenses since the
acquisition, the opening and operating of new retail stores, and an increase in
benefit costs.  For the six months ended March 31, 1999, selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 31.0% compared
to 28.5% in the first six months of the prior fiscal year.  Actual selling,
general and administrative expenses increased to $63.6 million for the six
months ended March 31, 1999 compared to $56.2 million in the first six months of
the prior fiscal year.  The increase of $7.4 million in selling, general and
administrative expenses for the first six months of fiscal 1999 compared to
fiscal 1998 includes a $2.8 million increase in advertising expenses, a $1.0
million increase related to the opening and operating of new retail stores, and
the inclusion of Jerell expenses since the acquisition.  These increases are
offset by $1.3 million in lower shipping expenses.  At the end of the second
quarter of fiscal 1999, 60 retail stores were open and operational as compared
to 49 stores at the end of the same period one year ago.
 
Other income increased to $0.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1999
compared to $0.1 million in the same quarter last year.  For the first six
months of fiscal 1999, other income increased to $0.9 million 

                               10
<PAGE>

compared to $0.3 million for the same period last year.  The increase was 
primarily the result of gains from the sales of miscellaneous equipment.

In the second quarter of fiscal 1999, the provision for income taxes increased
as a percentage of income before taxes to 40.9% from 38.7% for the same quarter
last year.  For the six months ended March 31, 1999, the provision for income
taxes increased as a percentage of income before taxes to 40.5% from 38.6% for
the same period last year.  The increases are a result of the nondeductibility
of goodwill amortization related to the Jerell acquisition, thereby increasing
the Company's effective tax rate.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's trade accounts receivable potentially expose the Company to
concentrations of credit risk because most of its customers are in the retail
apparel industry.  The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its
customers' financial condition and establishes an allowance for doubtful
accounts based upon the factors related to the credit risk of specific
customers, historical trends and other information.  The Company's trade
accounts receivable, including amounts due from factor, decreased approximately
$4.0 million to $59.6 million at March 31, 1999, from $63.6 million at September
30, 1998.  This decrease in trade accounts receivable is primarily the result of
seasonal reductions in sales partially offset by the inclusion of Jerell's trade
receivables.

Inventories as of March 31, 1999, increased to $95.3 million from $92.2 million
at September 30, 1998.  The increase in inventory levels during the first six
months of fiscal 1999 is due to the 
inclusion of Jerell's inventory.

As of December 31, 1998, the Company had a revolving credit line facility with
certain banks.  During the first quarter, the Company amended the credit
agreement to accommodate the acquisition of Jerell in the second quarter.  As of
March 31, 1999, the Company had additional available borrowing capacity of
approximately $62.0 million.  The Company incurred approximately $78,000 in
commitment fees related to the available borrowing capacity for the six months
ended March 31, 1999.  The interest rates for the quarter ended March 31, 1999,
ranged from 5.58% to 7.75%.  The facility will mature June 30, 2001, with a one
year renewal at the option of the banks.

At the end of September 30, 1998, the Company's UK subsidiary, Haggar Apparel,
Ltd., maintained a $4.2 million line of credit with a bank in the United Kingdom
to fund its operating activities.  This line of credit was paid and closed in
the second quarter of fiscal 1999.

For the six months ended March 31, 1999, the Company provided cash from 
operating activities of approximately $18.3 million (net of effects from the 
purchase of Jerell Inc.).  The cash provided is primarily the result of a 
$15.0 million decrease in accounts receivable and a $6.1 million decrease in 
inventories, offset by a $3.4 million decrease in accounts payable.  For the 
same period last year, the Company provided cash from operating activities of 
$21.3 million primarily from a $18.0 million decrease in accounts receivable, 
a $7.1 million decrease in inventories, and a $5.8 increase in accrued 
liabilities, offset by a $17.5 million decrease in accounts payable.

The Company used approximately $42.2 million in investing activities for the six
months ended March 31, 1999.  The Company purchased property, plant and
equipment of $3.3 million and acquired Jerell for $39.2 million during the six
months ended March 31, 1999.  For the six months ended March 31, 1998,
approximately $5.3 million in cash flow was used by investing activities
primarily as the result of purchasing  property, plant and equipment.  

Cash flows provided from financing activities of $14.9 million for the six
months ended March 31, 1999, were primarily the result of a net increase in
long-term debt of $25.3 million, the $3.5 million payment of short-term
borrowings and the purchase of $6.2 million in treasury stock.  Comparatively,
cash flows used 

                                   11
<PAGE>

in financing activities for the same period last year, were primarily the 
result of a $3.2 million net decrease in long-term debt.

The Company believes that the cash flow generated from operations and the funds
available under the foregoing credit facilities will be adequate to meet its
working capital and related financing needs for the foreseeable future.

YEAR 2000 CONSIDERATIONS

GENERAL.  The Year 2000 issue concerns the inability of some computerized
systems to properly process date-sensitive information on and after January 1,
2000, because of the use of only the last two digits to identify a year.  The
Company has a full-time project manager coordinating the assessment and
remediation of Year 2000 issues affecting the Company.  The project manager and
team leaders from various areas within the Company continue to implement a plan
to accomplish the remediation necessary to prepare the Company for the Year
2000.  The Year 2000 steering committee, composed of members from various
functional groups, provides oversight by reviewing and evaluating the progress
of the Year 2000 program.  The Company presently expects that all of its core
operations and essential functions will be ready for the Year 2000 transition.

STATE OF READINESS.  The Company's Year 2000 program classifies all of its
computerized systems into the following categories:

        BUSINESS SYSTEMS: This category consists of computer programs that run
        the Company's primary business functions (e.g., manufacturing, order
        processing, inventory control and accounting).
        
        HARDWARE/PC SOFTWARE: This category consists of all computer hardware
        and operating systems (including networking, telecommunications and
        other PC-based software applications).
        
        ENGINEERING SYSTEMS: This category consists of manufacturing,
        distribution and laboratory equipment (including sewing equipment,
        cutters, conveyors and scanners) that control the manufacturing process.
        
        FACILITIES SYSTEMS: This category consists of systems that support the
        physical infrastructure of the Company's facilities (including
        forklifts, ovens, boilers, HVAC and security systems).
        
In order to establish priorities for assessment and remediation of Year 2000
issues, each of the systems within these categories has been further classified
as follows:

        CRITICAL:  These are systems without which the Company's business would
        be severely adversely affected (e.g., manufacturing, distribution and
        retail point of sale).
        
        PRIORITY:  These are systems that the Company could do without for only
        a few days without materially adversely affecting operations (e.g.,
        telecommunications and energy management).
        
        REQUIRED:  These are systems needed to remain competitive or in
        compliance with regulatory requirements (e.g., voice mail and executive
        information systems).
        
        DESIRABLE:  These systems enable employees to work more efficiently
        (e.g., pagers, fax machines and postage meters).
                 
                                        12

The approximate percentage of completion of remediation within each system 
category and priority level as of April 28, 1999, are set forth in the table 
below for the Company, excluding Jerell.

Overall, the Company's Year 2000 compliance program was approximately 74%
complete as of April 28, 1999, which was substantially on schedule with the
program plan, as compared to 48% complete as of January 20, 1999.

During the second quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company acquired Jerell Inc.  The
Company's Year 2000 project manager has worked with a team from Jerell to
integrate their remediation plans and classify their systems using the
categories and priorities discussed above.  The approximate percentage of
completion of remediation within each system category and priority level as of
April 28, 1999, are set forth in the table below for Jerell.

</TABLE>


Overall, Jerell's Year 2000 compliance program was approximately 43% complete as
of April 28, 1999, which was substantially on schedule with the program plan. 

In addition to its internal Year 2000 compliance program, the Company has
requested information from a majority of its customers and vendors concerning
their Year 2000 compliance.  Responses have been received from most key
customers indicating that they do not presently anticipate any significant Year
2000 problems.  The Company received responses from many of its key vendors and
is continuing to collect and review responses from vendors.  The Company intends
to continue to communicate with its key customers and vendors as more
information becomes available in order to further evaluate potential risks to
the Company's business operations.

COSTS TO ADDRESS YEAR 2000 ISSUES.  The Company is executing its Year 2000
program primarily with existing internal resources.  The principal costs
associated with these internal resources are payroll and employee benefits of
the information systems group.  However, the Company does not separately track
the internal costs attributable to the Year 2000 program.

The Company has also incurred costs for contract programmers and systems
upgrades in connection with its Year 2000 program.  As a result of Year 2000
issues, the Company has elected to upgrade its accounting, order processing,
manufacturing, and electronic data interchange software; retail store systems;
distribution conveyor systems; and most PC hardware and software systems.  No
other significant projects have been accelerated or deferred due to Year 2000
issues.  The costs of these programmers and upgrades have not been, and are not
expected to be in the future, material to the results of operations or the
financial condition of the Company.  All costs of Year 2000 compliance are
recorded in the period incurred.  

RISKS OF YEAR 2000 ISSUES.  The Company does not presently anticipate any
considerable delays or exceptions to the scheduled substantial completion of its
Year 2000 program by the end of August 1999 for Haggar and September 1999 for
Jerell.  Therefore, any adverse consequences from Year 2000 issues would result
from presently unforeseen circumstances.  Although, the Company has not yet
developed any worst case Year 2000 scenarios, the Company has begun to analyze
potential risks and adverse scenarios.

Although the Company believes that it is adequately addressing the Year 2000
issue, there can be no assurance that Year 2000 problems will not have a
material adverse affect on its business, financial condition or results of
operations.  In addition, disruptions in the economy generally resulting from
Year 2000 failures or the public's perceptions of failures could have a material
adverse affect on the Company.

CONTINGENCY PLANS.  To date, the Company has focused on the conversion or
replacement of its systems and the evaluation of the Year 2000 compliance of its
significant customers and vendors.  During the third quarter of fiscal 1999, the
Company expects to further develop contingency plans for potential risks such as
interruptions in the supply chain, transportation delays and communications
breakdowns with customers and vendors.  These contingency plans may include the
use of substitute vendors or alternate product designs that do not use raw
materials from non-compliant vendors.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates, which may
adversely affect it financial position, results of operations and cash flows. 
In seeking to minimize the risks from interest rate fluctuations, the Company
manages exposures through its regular operating and financing activities.  The
Company does not use financial instruments for trading or other speculative
purposes and is not party to any derivative financial instruments.  The Company
is exposed to interest rate risk primarily though its borrowing activities.  As
of March 31, 1999, the Company had outstanding $29 million under its revolving
credit line agreement and $21 million in senior notes payable.  See Item 1. -
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Long-term Debt for additional
discussion of the terms of the Company's credit facility and the senior notes
payable.  The fair values of the borrowings under the revolving credit line and
the senior notes approximate the carrying values of the respective obligations.
