Administrative Committee of the Plan
Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation
Associates Investment Plan for Hourly Associates
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation Associates Investment Plan for Hourly Associates as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2003, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation
Associates Investment Plan for Hourly Associates
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2003
A. Description of the Plan
The following description of the Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation (the "Company") Associates Investment Plan for Hourly Associates (the "Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan Document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.
The Plan was amended effective January 1, 2002 in order to comply with changes permitted or required by the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 and to modify certain administrative provisions. Following the issuance of a favorable determination letter by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the Plan was amended again on September 24, 2003 to comply with IRS requests pertaining to its continuous tax-qualified status.
Change in Trustee and Recordkeeper
Effective March 28, 2002, the Plan's Trustee changed from State Street Bank (the "Predecessor Trustee") to UMB Bank (the "Trustee" or "Successor Trustee"). On the same date, the Plan's recordkeeper changed from PricewaterhouseCoopers/Unifi Network (the "Predecessor Recordkeeper") to Strong Retirement Plan Services (the "Recordkeeper" or "Successor Recordkeeper").
Master Trust
On March 28, 2002, the Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation Associates Investment Plans Master Trust (the "Master Trust") was established for the investment of the Company's Common Stock Fund. The Plan is one of three plans participating in the Master Trust.
General
The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering hourly production, warehouse, distribution and U.S. retail field employees of the Company who have at least one year of service (1,000 hours in a year) and are age 21 or older. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). Effective April 1, 2002, the Plan covers hourly production, warehouse, distribution and U.S. retail field employees who are at least age 21 or older, have completed at least three consecutive months of service and are regularly scheduled to work at least 20 hours per week. Effective September 24, 2003, the Plan covers leased employees.
F-5
A. Description of the Plan (continued)
Contributions
Until March 31, 2002, participants were able to contribute up to 15% of pre-tax annual compensation, as defined by the Plan. Effective April 1, 2002, participants may contribute up to 25% of pre-tax annual compensation, limited to $12,000 and $11,000 per annum in 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Company matches 100% of the first 2% of eligible compensation that a participant contributed to the Plan plus 25% of the next 4% of eligible compensation contributed by the participant.
Participant Accounts
Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions and allocations of (a) the Company's contributions and (b) Plan earnings. Forfeited balances of terminated participants' nonvested accounts are used to reduce future Company contributions.
Vesting
Amounts attributable to employee contributions and the allocated earnings thereon are immediately vested. Participants become 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% vested in Company contributions after two, three, four and five years of service, respectively. Upon death, permanent disability or reaching age 65, participants or their beneficiaries become 100% vested in Company contributions.
Investment Options
Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct employee contributions into any of eight investment options. A participant may contribute a maximum of 25% of employee contributions into the Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation Common Stock Fund.
The Company contributions are invested in any fund offered by the Plan as elected by the participant. However, existing balances contributed to the Company's Common Stock Fund as of March 31, 1999 must remain in the fund until participants are age 55 or older, at which time they may choose to transfer their investment.
F-6
A. Description of the Plan (continued)
Participant Loans Receivable
Participants may borrow from the Plan, with certain restrictions, using their vested account balance as collateral. The minimum loan amount is $1,000 and the maximum loan amount is the lesser of (i) $50,000 reduced by the participant's highest outstanding loan balance during the previous 12 months, or (ii) 50% of the vested value of the participant's account. Interest is fixed for the term of the loan at the prime rate as of the first business day of the month of application as published in The Wall Street Journal, plus 1%. Loan repayments are made through payroll deductions which may be specified for a term of 1 to 5 years or up to 15 years for the purchase of a primary residence.
Forfeitures
Contributions made on behalf of non-vested or partially vested employees who have terminated are retained by the Plan and are used to reduce the Company's future matching contributions. At December 31, 2003, $11,222 was held by the Plan as forfeitures of non- vested or partially vested, terminated employees.
Payment of Benefits
Participants entitled to final distributions generally will receive payment in the form of a lump sum amount equal to the value of their vested account.
Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.
B. Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting records of the Plan are maintained on the accrual basis.
Substantially all administrative expenses are paid by the Company.
F-7
B. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
In accordance with the Rules and Regulations of the Department of Labor, investments are included in the accompanying financial statements at market value as determined by quoted market prices or at fair value as determined by the trustee. Purchases and sales of securities are reflected on a trade date basis.
All assets of the Plan are held by the Trustee and are segregated from the assets of the Company. The Master Trust holds the investments in Employers Common Stock. The Plan shares in the Master Trust interest and investment income based upon its participants' shares of the Master Trust net assets available for benefits.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2002 financial statements to conform with the 2003 presentation.
C. Transactions with Parties-in-Interest
During the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Master Trust purchased 12,631 and -0- shares, respectively, of the Company's common stock and received $172,798 and $131,563, respectively, from the Company as payment of dividends on its common stock. The AIP Master Trust also sold 25,016 and 20,519 shares of the Company's common stock during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

D. Investments
During 2003 and 2002, the Plan's investments (including investments purchased, sold, as well as held during the year) appreciated (depreciated) in fair value as determined by quoted market prices as follows:

F. Income Tax Status
The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated September 2, 2003, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its
F-11
F. Income Tax Status (continued)
qualification. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter and a new determination letter has been applied for. The plan administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax-exempt.
G. Transfer Out
The prior Recordkeeper proposed a reallocation of assets among the plans in the predecessor Master Trust in 2001 by adjusting the opening balances. A final determination on the correct reallocation was made in March 2002 when the assets in the predecessor Master Trust were distributed to separate trusts for the plans and the Recordkeeper conversion process was complete. This transfer out adjustment was made to reflect this reallocation.

Associates Investment Plan for Salaried Associates
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation Associates Investment Plan for Salaried Associates as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2003, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation
Associates Investment Plan for Salaried Associates
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2002
A. Description of the Plan
The following description of the Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation (the "Company") Associates Investment Plan for Salaried Associates (the "Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan Document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.
The Plan was amended effective January 1, 2002 in order to comply with changes permitted or required by the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 and to modify certain administrative provisions. Following the issuance of a favorable determination letter by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the Plan was amended again on September 24, 2003 to comply with IRS requests pertaining to its continuing tax-qualified status.
Change in Trustee and Recordkeeper
Effective March 28, 2002, the Plan's Trustee changed from State Street Bank (the "Predecessor Trustee") to UMB Bank (the "Trustee" or "Successor Trustee"). On the same date, the Plan's recordkeeper changed from PricewaterhouseCoopers/Unifi Network (the "Predecessor Recordkeeper") to Strong Retirement Plan Services (the "Recordkeeper" or "Successor Recordkeeper").
Master Trust
On March 28, 2002, the Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation Associates Investment Plans Master Trust (the "Master Trust") was established for the investment of the Company's Common Stock Fund. The Plan is one of three plans participating in the Master Trust.
General
The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering salaried or clerical employees of the Company who have at least one year of service (1,000 hours in a year) and are age 21 or older. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). Effective April 1, 2002, the Plan covers salaried or clerical employees who are at least age 21 or older, have completed at least three consecutive months of service and are regularly scheduled to work at least 20 hours per week. Effective September 24, 2003, the Plan covers leased employees.
F-18
A. Description of the Plan (continued)
Contributions
Until March 31, 2002, participants were able to contribute up to 15% of pre-tax annual compensation, as defined by the Plan. Effective April 1, 2002, participants may contribute up to 25% of pre-tax annual compensation, limited to $12,000 and $11,000 per annum in 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Company matches 100% of the first 2% of eligible compensation that a participant contributed to the Plan plus 25% of the next 4% of eligible compensation contributed by the participant.
Participant Accounts
Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions and allocations of (a) the Company's contributions and (b) Plan earnings. Forfeited balances of terminated participants' nonvested accounts are used to reduce future Company contributions.
Vesting
Amounts attributed to employee contributions and the allocated earnings thereon are immediately vested. Participants become 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% vested in Company contributions and the allocated earnings thereon after two, three, four and five years of service, respectively. Upon death, permanent disability, or reaching age 65, participants or their beneficiaries become 100% vested in Company contributions.
Investment Options
Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct employee contributions into any of eight investment options. A participant may contribute a maximum of 25% of employee contributions into the Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation Common Stock Fund.
The Company contributions are invested in any fund offered by the Plan as elected by the participant. However, existing balances contributed to the Company's Common Stock Fund as of March 31, 1999 must remain in the fund until participants are age 55 or older, at which time they may choose to transfer their investment.
F-19
A. Description of the Plan (continued)
Participant Loans Receivable
Participants may borrow from the Plan, with certain restrictions, using their vested account balance as collateral. The minimum loan amount is $1,000 and the maximum loan amount is the lesser of (i) $50,000 reduced by the participant's highest outstanding loan balance during the previous 12 months, or (ii) 50% of the vested value of the participant's account. Interest is fixed for the term of the loan at the prime rate as of the first business day of the month of application as published in The Wall Street Journal, plus 1%. Loan repayments are made through payroll deductions, which may be specified for a term of 1 to 5 years or up to 15 years for the purchase of a primary residence.
Forfeitures
Contributions made on behalf of non-vested or partially vested employees who have terminated are retained by the Plan and are used to reduce the Company's future matching contributions. At December 31, 2003, $74,871 was held by the Plan as forfeitures of non- vested or partially vested, terminated employees.
Payment of Benefits
Participants entitled to final distributions generally will receive payment in the form of a lump-sum amount equal to the value of their vested account.
Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.
B. Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting records of the Plan are maintained on the accrual basis.
Substantially all administrative expenses are paid by the Company.
F-20
B. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
In accordance with the Rules and Regulations of the Department of Labor, investments are included in the accompanying financial statements at market value as determined by quoted market price or at fair value as determined by the trustee. Purchase and sales of securities are reflected on a trade date basis.
All assets of the Plan are held by the Trustee and are segregated from the assets of the Company. The Master Trust holds the investments in Employers Common Stock. The Plan shares in the Master Trust interest and investment income based upon its participants' shares of the Master Trust net assets available for benefits.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2002 financial statements to conform with the 2003 presentation.
C. Transactions with Parties-in-Interest
During the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Master Trust purchased 12,631 and -0- shares, respectively, of the Company's common stock and received $172,798 and $131,563, respectively, from the Company as payment of dividends on its common stock. The AIP Master Trust also sold 25,016 and 20,519 shares of the Company's common stock during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

F. Income Tax Status
The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated September 2, 2003, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The plan administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax-exempt.
F-24
G. Transfers In
The prior Recordkeeper proposed a reallocation of assets among the plans in the predecessor Master Trust in 2001 by adjusting the opening balances. A final determination on the current reallocation was made in March 2002 when the assets in the predecessor Master Trust were distributed to separate trusts for the plans and the Recordkeeper conversion process was complete. This transfer in adjustment was made to reflect this reallocation.
