Administrative Committee of the Plan

Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation

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, 2008 and 2007, 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 audit.

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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also 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, 2008 and 2007 and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of investments held at year end at fair value as of December 31, 2008 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 audit 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Years Ended December 31, 2008 and 2007

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. On December 31, 2008, the Phillips-Van Heusen Associates Investment Plan for Hourly Associates (the “Hourly Plan”) was merged with and into the Plan. In connection with the merger, the Plan was renamed the PVH Associates Investment Plan (the “Successor Plan”). All information presented below pertains to the individual Plan prior to the merger as well as to the Successor Plan.

Change in Trustee and Recordkeeper

Effective May 14, 2007, the Plan’s Trustee changed from Nationwide Trust Company to The Charles Schwab Trust Company (the “Trustee”). The Plan’s Recordkeeper is the 401(k) Company (a Charles Schwab Company).

Master Trust

The Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation Associates Investment Plan’s Master Trust (the “Master Trust”) was established for the investment of the Phillips-Van Heusen Stock Fund (the “PVH Stock Fund”). Until the Plans merged on December 31, 2008, all of the investments of the Plan and the Hourly Plan were held in the Master Trust held by The Charles Schwab Trust Company. A Master Trust, under ERISA laws, must hold the assets for more than one plan sponsored by a single employer. Therefore, the Company’s trust no longer qualifies as a Master Trust. The Master Trust was effectively dissolved as of December 31, 2008. The Successor Plan’s assets will still be held by the Charles Schwab Company.

General

The Plan was a defined contribution plan covering salaried or clerical employees of the Company who were at least age 21 or older, had completed the earlier of: at least three consecutive months of service and were regularly scheduled to work at least 20 hours per week; or had completed at least 1,000 hours of service during the first 12 months of employment. The Plan was subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Contributions

Participants were able to contribute up to 25% of pre-tax annual compensation, limited to $15,500 per annum. In addition, pursuant to EGTRRA of 2001, all participants who attained the age of 50 before the close of the plan year were eligible to make “catch-up” contributions up to $5,000 for each plan year. Effective January 1, 2008, the Company matched 100% of the first 1% of eligible compensation that a participant contributed to the Plan plus 50% of the next 5% of eligible compensation contributed by the participant. Prior to January 1, 2008, the Company matched 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 was 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 were used to reduce future Company contributions.

Vesting

Amounts attributed to employee contributions and the allocated earnings thereon were immediately vested. Effective January 1, 2008, participants became 100% vested in Company contributions and the allocated earnings thereon after two years of service. Upon death, permanent disability, or reaching age 65, participants or their beneficiaries became 100% vested in Company contributions. Prior to January 1, 2008, participants became 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% vested in Company contributions and the allocated earnings thereon after two, three, four and five years of service, respectively. Effective in 2009, participants in the Successor Plan terminated due to the Company’s restructuring initiative will become 100% vested. The merger of the Plan with the Hourly Plan had no effect on participants’ vesting.

Investment Options

Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant could direct employee or Company contributions into any one of four pre-mixed asset allocation models or any of 10 individual investment options. A participant could contribute a maximum of 25% of employee contributions into the PVH Stock Fund.

Participant Loans Receivable

Participants could borrow from the Plan, with certain restrictions, using their vested account balance as collateral. The minimum loan amount was $1,000 and the maximum loan amount was

ASSOCIATES INVESTMENT PLAN FOR SALARIED ASSOCIATES

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 was fixed for the term of the loan at the prime rate plus 1% or 2%. Loan repayments were 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. Participant loan balances were a component of the Hourly Plan’s Plan Assets merged with the Plan.

At December 31, 2008, participant loans outstanding totaled $3,566,728, with maturity dates through 2023 at interest rates ranging from 5% to 10.5%.

Forfeitures

Contributions made on behalf of non-vested or partially vested employees who have terminated were retained by the Plan and were used to reduce the Company’s future matching contributions. In 2008 and 2007, forfeitures of $34,505 and $101,173, respectively, were used by the Plan to reduce the Company’s matching contributions.

Payment of Benefits

Participants electing final distributions received payment in the form of a lump sum amount equal to the value of their vested account unless the participant notified the Company of their intent to receive all or a portion of their balance attributable to the PVH Stock Fund paid in the form of shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

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. Participant account balances and terms were not affected by the merger of the Plans.

Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The accounting records of the Plan were maintained on the accrual basis.

As described in Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Staff Position AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, “Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-

F-6

PHILLIPS-VAN HEUSEN CORPORATION

ASSOCIATES INVESTMENT PLAN FOR SALARIED ASSOCIATES

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans” (FSP), investments in benefit-responsive

investment contracts must be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. The Plan invested in investment contracts though a common/collective trust. As required by the FSP, the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits presents the fair value of the investments in the common/collective trust as well as the adjustment of the investment in the common/collective trust from fair value to contract value relating to the investment contracts. As required by the FSP, the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits is prepared on a contract value basis.

Use of Estimates

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.

Administrative Expenses

Substantially all administrative expenses were paid by the Company.

Investments

Investments are included in the accompanying financial statements at fair value in accordance with SFAS 157. Purchase and sales of securities are reflected on a trade date basis.

Until the Plans merged on December 31, 2008, all assets of the Plan were held by the Trustee in the Master Trust and were segregated from the assets of the Company. The Plan shared in the Master Trust interest and investment income based upon its participants’ shares of the Master Trust net assets available for benefits. The Successor Plan’s assets will still be held by the Trustee and segregated from the assets of the Company.

Reclassifications

For comparative purposes, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

Transactions with Parties-in-Interest

During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Master Trust purchased 86,090 and 50,218 shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock and received $122,841 and $127,428, respectively, from the Company as payment of dividends on its common stock. The Plan’s share in this dividend income was $114,489 and $121,515, respectively. The AIP Master Trust also sold 106,333 and 74,684 shares of the Company’s common stock during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

4.

Fair Value Measurements

Beginning fiscal 2008, the Master Trust measured and reported its investments in accordance with SFAS 157. The standard defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It also establishes a three level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows:

Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. This category includes active exchange traded funds, money market funds and equity securities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. This category includes two common collective trust funds whose values are determined using the Net Asset Value (NAV) provided by the administrator of the fund. NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, and then divided by the number of shares.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Participant loans are included in this category and valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

If the inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material impact on the financial statements of the Plan.

Interest in the Master Trust

Until the Plans merged on December 31, 2008, the Plan’s investments, with the exception of participant loans, were held in a Master Trust with the assets of the Hourly Plan. The assets of the Master Trust were held by The Charles Schwab Trust Company. Prior to December 31, 2008, the plan participated in the Master Trust for the investment of the pooled assets of various funds. Each participating plan had an undivided interest in the Master Trust. Income and assets of the Master Trust were allocated to the Plan based on participant balances. The 2008 year end asset balance will be reported on the Master Trust’s final Form 5500 for tax filing purposes. The assets of the Master Trust at December 31, 2008 (prior to the plan merger) and 2007 consist of the following reported at fair value:

Income Tax Status

The Plan had received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated September 2, 2003, stating that the Plan was qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and, therefore, the related trust was exempt from taxation. Once qualified, the Plan was required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The plan administrator believed that the Plan was designed and operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believed hat the Plan was qualified and the related trust tax-exempt.

Associates Investment Plan for Hourly Associates

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits of the Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation Associates Investment Plan for Hourly Associates as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statement 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 audit.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the auditing 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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also 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, 2008 and 2007, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

1.

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. On December 31, 2008, the Plan was merged with and into the Phillips-Van Heusen Associates Investment Plan for Salaried Associates (the “Salaried Plan”). The resulting plan is known as the PVH Associates Investment Plan (the “Successor Plan”). The information presented below pertains to the individual Plan prior to the merger as well as to the Successor Plan.

Change in Trustee

Effective May 14, 2007, the Plan’s Trustee changed from Nationwide Trust Company to The Charles Schwab Trust Company (the “Trustee”). The Plan’s Recordkeeper is the 401(k) Company (a Charles Schwab Company).

Master Trust

The Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation Associates Investment Plan’s Master Trust (the “Master Trust”) was established for the investment of the Phillips-Van Heusen Stock Fund (the “PVH Stock Fund”). Until the Plan merged on December 31, 2008, all of the investments of the Plan and the Salaried Plan were combined in the Master Trust held by The Charles Schwab Company. A Master Trust, under ERISA laws, must hold the assets for more than one plan sponsored by a single employer. Therefore, the Company’s trust no longer qualifies as a Master Trust. The Master Trust was effectively dissolved as of December 31, 2008. The Successor Plan’s assets will still be held by The Charles Schwab Trust Company.

General

The Plan was a defined contribution plan covering hourly production, warehouse, distribution and U.S. retail field employees of the Company, who were at least age 21 or older, had completed the earlier of: at least three consecutive months of service and are regularly scheduled to work at least 20 hours per week; or had completed at least 1,000 hours of service during the first 12 months of employment. The Plan was subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).

Contributions

Participants were able to contribute up to 25% of pre-tax annual compensation, limited to $15,500 per annum. In addition, pursuant to EGTRRA of 2001, all participants who attained the age of 50 before the close of the plan year were eligible to make “catch-up” contributions up to $5,000 for each plan year. Effective January 1, 2008, the Company matched 100% of the first 1% of eligible compensation that a participant contributed to the Plan plus 50% of the next 5% of eligible compensation contributed by the participant. Prior to January 1, 2008, the Company matched 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 was 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 were used to reduce future Company contributions.

Vesting

Amounts attributable to employee contributions and the allocated earnings thereon were immediately vested. Effective January 1, 2008, participants became 100% vested in Company contributions and the allocated earnings thereon after two years of service. Upon death, permanent disability, or reaching age 65, participants or their beneficiaries became 100% vested in Company contributions. Prior to January 1, 2008, participants became 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% vested in Company contributions and the allocated earnings thereon after two, three, four and five years of service, respectively. Effective in 2009, participants in the Successor Plan terminated due to the Company’s restructuring initiative will become 100% vested. The merger of the Plan with the Salaried Plan had no effect on participants’ vesting.

Investment Options

Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant could direct employee or Company contributions into any one of four pre-mixed asset allocation models or any of 10 individual investment options. A participant could contribute a maximum of 25% of employee contributions into the PVH Stock Fund.

F-18

Participant Loans Receivable

Participants could borrow from the Plan, with certain restrictions, using their vested account balance as collateral. The minimum loan amount was $1,000 and the maximum loan amount was 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 was fixed for the term of the loan at the prime rate plus 1% or 2%. Loan repayments were 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. Participant loan balances were a component of the Plan Assets merged with the Salaried Plan.

Forfeitures

Contributions made on behalf of non-vested or partially vested employees who have terminated were retained by the Plan and were used to reduce the Company’s future matching contributions. In 2008 and 2007, forfeitures of $39,247 and $23,885, respectively were used by the Plan to reduce the Company’s matching contributions.

Payment of Benefits

Participants electing final distributions received payment in the form of a lump sum amount equal to the value of their vested account unless the participant notified the Company of their intent to receive all or a portion of their balance attributable to the PVH Stock Fund paid in the form of shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

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. Participant account balances and terms were not affected by the merger of the Plans.

Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The accounting records of the Plan were maintained on the accrual basis.

As described in Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Staff Position AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, “Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans” (FSP), investments in benefit-responsive investment contracts must be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. The Plan invested in investment contracts though a common/collective trust. As required by the FSP, the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits presents the fair value of the investments in the common/collective trust as well as the adjustment of the investment in the common/collective trust from fair value to contract value relating to the investment contracts. As required by the FSP, the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits is prepared on a contract value basis. As of December 31, 2008, the investment in the common/collective trust was a component of the Net Assets merged with the Salaried Plan, and is being reported as required by the FSP on the Salaried Plan’s financial statements.

Use of Estimates

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.

Administrative Expenses

Substantially all administrative expenses were paid by the Company.

F-20

PHILLIPS-VAN HEUSEN CORPORATION ASSOCIATES INVESTMENT PLAN FOR HOURLY ASSOCIATES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Investments

The Plan was merged with and into the Salaried Plan on December 31, 2008. The investments included in the merged assets were reported at fair value in accordance with SFAS 157. Purchases and sales of securities were reflected on a trade date basis.

Until the Plans merged on December 31, 2008, all assets of the Plan were held by the Trustee in the Master Trust and were segregated from the assets of the Company. The Plan shared in the Master Trust interest and investment income based upon its participants’ shares of the Master Trust net assets available for benefits. The Successor Plan’s assets will still be held by the Trustee and segregated from the assets of the Company.

Reclassifications

For comparative purposes, certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

3.

Transactions with Parties-in-Interest

During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Master Trust purchased 86,090 and 50,218 shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock and received $122,841 and $127,428, respectively, from the Company as payment of dividends on its common stock. The Plan’s share in this dividend income was $8,352 and $5,913, respectively. The AIP Master Trust also sold 106,333 and 74,684 shares of the Company’s common stock during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Income Tax Status

The Plan had received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated September 2, 2003, stating that the Plan was qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and, therefore, the related trust was exempt from taxation. Once qualified, the Plan was required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The plan administrator believed that the Plan was designed and operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believed that the Plan was qualified and the related trust tax-exempt.
