Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


Administrative Committee of the Plan

Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation

Associates Investment Plan for Residents

of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation Associates Investment Plan for Residents of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, 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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plan's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and 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, 2004 and 2003, 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, 2004, 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 Residents

of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico


Notes to Financial Statements


December 31, 2004



A.  Description of the Plan


The following description of the Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation (the “Company”) Associates Investment Plan for Residents of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (the “Plan”) provides only general information.  Participants should refer to the Plan Document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.


Change in Trustee and Recordkeeper


Effective January 1, 2004, the Plan’s Trustee changed from UMB Bank (the “Predecessor Trustee”) to State Street Bank (the “Trustee” or “Successor Trustee”).  Subsequent to 2004, on January 1, 2005, Wells Fargo acquired Strong Retirement Plan Services and as a result, Wells Fargo Retirement Solutions became the “Recordkeeper” and Wells Fargo Bank became the “Trustee”.


Master Trust


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 and hourly retail field workers who are residents of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico 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. The Plan is subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).  


Contributions


Each year, participants may contribute up to 10% of pre-tax annual compensation, as defined by the Plan, limited to $8,000 per annum in 2004 and 2003, 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.


F-5







A.  Description of the Plan (continued)


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.  Effective July 1, 2004, three new investment options were added to the Plan, for a total of eleven 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 were required to remain in the fund until participants reach the age of 55 or older.  Effective December 30, 2004, all restrictions on Company Match invested in the PVH Stock Fund were removed and participants are allowed to transfer all Company Match monies to other investment options in the Plan.

















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 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.


Payment of Benefits


Participants electing final distributions 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.


C.  Transactions with Parties-in-Interest


During the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Master Trust purchased 15,616 and 12,631 shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock and received $ 168,641 and $172,798, respectively, from the Company as payment of dividends on its common stock.  The AIP Master Trust also sold 64,342 and 25,016 shares of the Company’s common stock during the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

F.  Income Tax Status


The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated April 27, 1995 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 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.
