PART I

Item 1. Business

VF Corporation, organized in 1899, is a worldwide leader in the manufacturing and marketing of branded apparel and related products. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term “VF” used herein means VF Corporation and its subsidiaries.

For over 100 years, VF has grown by offering consumers high quality, high value branded apparel and other products . VF follows an overall strategy of identifying specific brands to market to a specific channel of distribution. Accordingly, products and brands are sold through specialty store, department store, chain store and discount store channels. In addition, many products are available through VF-owned retail stores, as well as through licensees and distributors dedicated to offering these products directly to consumers. To provide these products across this broad distribution network, VF has implemented a strategy that combines efficient and flexible internally-owned manufacturing with externally-owned sourcing of raw materials and finished goods. As a result, VF satisfies the needs of millions of apparel consumers around the world.

VF’s businesses are organized into five product categories, and by brands within those product categories, for both management and internal financial reporting purposes. These groupings of businesses are called “coalitions” and consist of the following: Jeanswear, Outdoor Apparel and Equipment, Intimate Apparel, Imagewear and Sportswear. These coalitions are treated as reportable segments for financial reporting purposes. Coalition management has the responsibility to build and develop brands within guidelines established by VF management. Corporate management at VF headquarters oversees the operations of these individual businesses and provides them with financial and administrative resources.

The following table summarizes VF’s primary owned and licensed brands by coalition:

Financial information regarding VF’s coalitions, as well as geographic information and sales by product category, is included in Note R to the consolidated financial statements in VF’s Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended December 2004 (the “2004 Annual Report”), which is incorporated herein by reference.

Jeanswear Coalition

Jeanswear and related shirts and casual products are marketed in the United States and in many international markets. LeeÒ and WranglerÒ products are sold in nearly every developed country. In fact, including all of its jeanswear brands, VF has the largest jeanswear market share of any company in the world. The LeeÒ and WranglerÒ brands also have longstanding traditions, as they were established in 1889 and 1947, respectively.

In addition to these brands, Wrangler Hero®, RustlerÒ and RidersÒ are the other primary brands marketed in the United States. VF also markets cotton casual pants under the Lee CasualsÒ, Timber Creek by WranglerÒ and Wrangler KhakisÒ brands.

In domestic markets, LeeÒ products are sold through department stores, national chain stores and specialty stores. WranglerÒ westernwear is marketed through western specialty stores. The

4

Wrangler HeroÒ, RustlerÒ and RidersÒ brands are marketed to mass merchant and national and regional discount chains.

In international markets, VF’s largest jeanswear business is located in Western Europe. LeeÒ, WranglerÒ and H.I.SÒ jeanswear products are sold through department stores and specialty stores, while the Hero by WranglerÒ, MaverickÒ and Old AxeÒ brands are sold to mass market and discount stores. Jeanswear in Europe and in most international markets is fashion-oriented and has a higher relative price than similar products in the United States. VF’s first Lee® retail store opened in London during 2003.

VF also markets the LeeÒ and WranglerÒ brands in Canada and Mexico, as well as South America, through businesses based in Chile, Brazil and Argentina. These products are sold through department and specialty stores. In addition, VF operates retail stores in Latin America. VF also markets LeeÒ and Wrangler® products to retailers in China, Russia, Turkey and Israel.

LeeÒ products are also manufactured and marketed through a 50%-owned joint venture in Spain and Portugal. In foreign markets where VF does not have owned operations, LeeÒ and WranglerÒ jeanswear and related products are marketed through distributors, agents or licensees.

Outdoor Apparel and Equipment Coalition

The Outdoor Apparel and Equipment Coalition is a group of outdoor-related businesses that represent a collection of lifestyle brands. Product offerings include outerwear, sportswear, footwear, equipment, luggage, backpacks and daypacks.

The North FaceÒ brand of high performance outdoor apparel, equipment and footwear is sold across the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia. The North FaceÒ apparel products consist of outerwear, snowsports gear and functional sportswear. Equipment consists of tents, sleeping bags, backpacks, daypacks and accessories. The North FaceÒ products are designed for extreme applications, such as high altitude mountaineering and ice and rock climbing, although many consumers who purchase those products use them for less extreme activities. The North FaceÒ products are marketed through specialty outdoor and premium sporting goods stores in the United States, Canada and Europe and select department stores in the United States. In addition, these products are sold through VF-operated full price retail and outlet stores in the United States, as well as stores operated by licensees and distributors dedicated to selling The North FaceÒ brand in Europe and Asia. These products are marketed throughout Asia by licensees and distributors, except in Japan and South Korea where rights to the brand are owned by a third party.

JanSportÒ daypacks and luggage are sold through department and sports specialty stores and college bookstores in the United States. JanSportÒ daypacks have a leading market share in the United States. EastpakÒ and JanSportÒ daypacks are sold primarily through department and specialty stores in Europe. A technical line of JanSportÒ backpacks is sold through outdoor and sporting goods stores. JanSportÒ fleece casualwear and T-shirts imprinted with college logos are sold through college bookstores and department stores in the United States. The JanSportÒ and EastpakÒ brands are also marketed throughout Asia by licensees and distributors. In addition, VF is planning to launch a complete Eastpak® branded apparel collection in Europe in 2005.

During the second quarter of 2004, VF acquired three outdoor apparel businesses. See Note B of the consolidated financial statements in the 2004 Annual Report for financial information related to these acquisitions.

The most significant of these transactions was the acquisition on June 30, 2004 of Vans, Inc. (“Vans”), a manufacturer and marketer of Vans® performance and casual footwear and apparel for skateboarders and other action sports participants and enthusiasts. In its most recent fiscal year prior to VF ownership, Vans had sales of $344 million with sales being split approximately equally among domestic wholesale accounts, domestic retail stores and international operations. The retail strategy of Vans includes full price retail stores and outlet stores. These retail stores carry a wide variety of Vans® footwear products, along with apparel and accessory items, most of which bear the Vans® brand name and logo. Vans currently operates full-price retail stores in the United States located in a mix of mall and freestanding locations. The first flagship retail store in Europe opened in London at the end of 2003. In addition, a prototype store concept has been developed, which will be used to retrofit many of the existing retail stores and improve retail sell-through. In addition to full-price retail stores, Vans operates outlet stores in the United States, the United Kingdom, Austria, Spain and Puerto Rico.

On May 31, 2004, VF acquired the Napapijri® (“Napapijri”) brand of premium casual outdoor apparel. Napapijri® products are primarily in the mid-to-high price range and sold in the wholesale channel, primarily to specialty shops such as sport stores and fashion boutiques. In addition, these products are sold in Europe through owned stores and stores operated by licensees and distributors. Napapijri has very strong brand awareness in Italy, where the operations are based, and is also well-known across Europe. In addition to anticipated growth in European markets, there are plans to develop a business in upper-tier department stores and add VF-owned retail stores in the United States. Napapijri had sales of $76 million in its most recent fiscal year prior to VF ownership.

VF acquired Kipling® (“Kipling”) bags, backpacks and accessories on June 14, 2004. Kipling® products are sold in Europe, Asia, the United States, and South America. Products are sold through VF-owned as well as externally-owned retail establishments. In addition to global retail expansion, there are plans for developing a department store distribution in the United States. Based in Belgium, Kipling had sales of $69 million in its most recent fiscal year prior to VF ownership.

Vans, Napapijri and Kipling add lifestyle brands that have global growth potential to VF’s Outdoor Apparel and Equipment Coalition. These brands are targeted to specific consumer groups, and their products extend across multiple product categories. Vans and Kipling provide expertise and growth opportunities in two new product categories for VF — footwear and women’s accessories. In addition, the sportswear design talent at Napapijri will be utilized to launch Nautica® apparel in Europe. Each of the businesses should benefit from VF’s existing systems and infrastructure, which supports VF’s growing portfolio of international brands.

Intimate Apparel Coalition

VF markets women’s intimate apparel under the Vanity FairÒ, Lily of FranceÒ and Exquisite FormÒ brands and the licensed Tommy HilfigerÒ brand to department and specialty stores located in the United States. Products in the Intimate Apparel Coalition include bras, panties, daywear, shapewear and sleepwear. Women’s intimate apparel is also marketed under the VassaretteÒ and BestformÒ brands for sale to the mass market channel of distribution. Also, VF successfully launched the CurvationÔ brand in 2003 for the full-figured woman shopping in the mass channel. VF has a significant private label lingerie business with various speciality, national chain and discount stores in the United States. This business strengthened in 2004 with one of its largest

6

customers supporting a major new product launch.

VF acquired 51% ownership of a newly created intimate apparel marketing company in Mexico during 2004. This new company markets several of VF’s intimate apparel brands, as well as the Ilusión® brand owned by the minority partner, to discount stores and department stores in Mexico. Business operations began in the third quarter of 2004 and are managed as part of the U.S. intimate apparel business.

In the European market, women’s intimate apparel is marketed to department and specialty stores under the LouÒ, BoleroÒ, GemmaÒ, Intima CherryÒ, Vanity FairÒ and BelcorÒ brands. Intimate apparel is marketed in discount stores under the VarianceÒ, VassaretteÒ and BestformÒ brands. In addition, VF markets women’s swimwear under the MajesticÒ and licensed NikeÒ labels in Europe.

Management believes that VF is one of the top two marketers of branded intimate apparel in the United States. In international markets, management believes that VF’s brands occupy the number two market share positions in France and Spain.

Imagewear Coalition

VF produces workwear, career and safety apparel sold under the Red KapÒ, Horace Small Apparel CompanyÒ, Penn State Textile™ and BulwarkÒ brands. Over one-half of these sales are to industrial laundries that in turn supply work clothes to employers, primarily on a rental basis, for on-the-job wear by production, service and white-collar personnel. Products include work pants, slacks, work and dress shirts, overalls, jackets and smocks. Since industrial laundries maintain minimal inventories of work clothes, a supplier’s ability to offer rapid delivery is an important factor in this market. VF’s commitment to customer service, supported by an automated central distribution center with satellite locations, has enabled customer orders to be filled within 24 hours of receipt and has helped the Red KapÒ brand obtain a significant share of the industrial laundry rental business.

VF also markets corporate image uniforms and casual apparel through its VF Solutions business unit. To better service its national accounts, VF operates a number of catalog web sites for major business customers and for governmental organizations such as U.S. Customs & Border Protection and the Bureau of Land Management. These web sites give more than 400,000 employees of these customers the convenience of shopping and paying for their work and career apparel via the internet.

This coalition includes VF’s activewear apparel businesses. VF designs and markets decorated sports apparel under licenses granted by the four major American professional sports leagues, NASCAR, most major colleges and universities, and other organizations. These sports apparel products for adults and youth are distributed through department, sporting goods and athletic specialty stores under the Lee SportÒ and the licensed Chase AuthenticsÒ brands. Growth in recent years has been driven by a five year agreement signed in 2002 with the National Football League. Under this agreement, VF is the exclusive supplier for selected men’s and boy’s tops and bottoms decorated with NFL team logos marketed to mid-tier department stores, specialty stores and mass merchandisers. In addition, 2004 was the first year of a new five year contract with Major League Baseball.

In early 2003 and early 2005, VF acquired two businesses that have rights to manufacture and market apparel products under license from Harley-Davidson Motor Company, Inc.

The remaining component of this coalition is the marketing of blank knitted fleecewear and other knit

7

and woven tops to wholesalers principally under the LeeÒ brand.

Sportswear Coalition

In August 2003, VF acquired Nautica Enterprises, Inc. (“Nautica”). The Nautica® branded sportswear business provided broad product capabilities related to a lifestyle brand and a significantly greater presence in the department store and specialty store channels of distribution.

The principal product line for Nautica is men’s sportswear, noted for its classic styling. Nautica Jeans CompanyÒ brand features fashionable jeanswear and related tops for younger male consumers. The Nautica CompetitionÒ brand is a line of casual apparel for active consumers. Other product lines sold by VF under the NauticaÒ brand include men’s outerwear, underwear and sleepwear, and women’s sleepwear. The unprofitable women’s jeans business in the department store channel was closed in 2004, but will be evaluated for a potential relaunch. VF expects to make substantial progress toward defining its strategy and direction for the women’s sportswear business in 2005. Plans are also underway to launch NauticaÒ branded apparel in Europe beginning in late 2005.

Nautica operates outlet stores in better outlet malls across the United States. These stores carry Nautica^® merchandise for men, boys and girls. Products sold in the outlet stores are different from those sold by Nautica to its department and specialty store wholesale customers. In addition, the stores carry Nautica^® merchandise from licensees to complete the desired product assortment.

As part of the Nautica acquisition, VF acquired the John VarvatosÒ, Earl JeanÒ and E. MagrathÒ brand businesses. The John Varvatos® brand is a luxury apparel and accessory collection for men and women including tailored clothing, sportswear, leather accessories and footwear. These products are sold through upscale department and specialty stores, as well as through four John Varvatos retail locations. The Earl JeanÒ brand is a premium line of jeans and sportswear marketed in the United States, Europe and Asia. This brand will be managed and reported with the Jeanswear Coalition beginning in 2005. E. MagrathÒ golf apparel is sold through pro shops in the United States and is managed as part of the Imagewear Coalition.

Playwear Business

The Playwear business consisted primarily of VF’s Healthtex® childrenswear. Trademarks and certain operating assets of this business were sold in May 2004, and retained inventories and other assets were liquidated during the balance of the year.

Retail Operations

VF-owned retail stores are an integral part of VF’s strategy for building its brands, providing visibility for its products and brands and enabling VF to stay close to the needs of core consumers. In addition, outlet stores serve an important role in VF’s overall inventory management by allowing VF to effectively sell a significant portion of discontinued and out-of-season products at better prices than otherwise available.

VF currently operates approximately 180 full-price stores and 320 outlet stores around the world that sell specific brands, including The North Face®, Vans®, Napapijri®, Kipling®, Nautica®, Lee® and Wrangler®. Also, some of VF’s brands, including JanSport®, Eastpak®, The North Face®, Vans®, Napapijri® and Kipling®, are offered through over 150 independently-owned stores located primarily in Europe and Asia.

8

In addition to the retail operations discussed above, VF operates approximately 100 outlet stores across the United States and Europe that sell a broad selection of VF products. Sales and profits of VF products sold through these outlet stores are reported as part of the operating results of the respective coalitions.

Retail sales accounted for approximately 10% and 9% of VF’s consolidated Net Sales in 2004 and 2003, respectively. VF management expects the retail business to continue to grow and is planning a capital investment of approximately $40 million in retail space during 2005.

In addition, VF offers other products directly to the consumer via the internet consisting of the corporate uniform business in the Imagewear Coalition and Vans® products. Internet sales in 2004 were approximately 1% of VF’s consolidated Net Sales.

Licensing Arrangements

In connection with VF’s business strategy of expanding market penetration of its owned brands, VF enters into licensing agreements for certain products and geographic regions if such arrangements provide more effective manufacturing, distribution and marketing of such products than could be achieved internally. These licensing arrangements relate to a broad range of VF products and are for fixed terms that may include renewal options. In addition, certain foreign licensees are granted the right to open retail stores under the licensed brand name and sell only licensed branded products in these stores. Each licensee pays royalties to VF based upon its sales of branded products, with most agreements providing for a minimum royalty. These payments generally range from 3% to 7% of the licensing partners’ net sales of the licensed products. In addition, licensees are generally required to spend an amount between 1% and 5% of their sales to advertise VF’s products. In some cases, these advertising amounts are remitted to VF for advertising on behalf of the licensees. VF provides support to these business partners and seeks to preserve the integrity of brand names by taking an active role in the design, quality control, advertising, marketing and distribution of each licensed product, most of which are subject to VF’s prior approval and continuing oversight. Net licensing income was $50 million and $29 million in 2004 and 2003, respectively, with the increase attributed to the inclusion of the Nautica licensing business for a full year in 2004.

While licensing activities exist for all coalitions, the largest component of this business, approximately 42% of net licensing income, is in the Sportswear coalition. The NauticaÒ brand is licensed in the United States for apparel categories not produced by VF (e.g., tailored clothing, dress shirts, neckwear, accessories, women’s swimwear) and for nonapparel categories (e.g., home furnishings, fragrances, watches, eyewear). In addition, NauticaÒ apparel and certain nonapparel products are licensed for sale in over 100 countries. Wholesale sales of NauticaÒ branded products by licensees are in excess of $400 million annually.

VF has also entered into license agreements to use the trademarks of others. Apparel is marketed under licenses granted by the National Football League, Major League Baseball, the National Basketball Association, the National Hockey League, NASCAR, NIKE, Inc., Tommy Hilfiger Corporation, Harley-Davidson Motor Company, Inc. and others. Some of these license arrangements contain minimum annual licensing and advertising requirements. Some are for a short term and may not contain specific renewal options. Management believes that the loss of any license would not have a material adverse effect on VF.

Raw Materials and Sourcing

Raw materials include fabrics made from cotton, synthetics and blends of cotton and synthetic yarn, as well as thread and trim (product identification, buttons, zippers, snaps and lace). These raw materials are purchased from numerous suppliers. While in some cases VF has obtained fixed price commitments for up to one year, specific purchase obligations with suppliers are typically limited to the succeeding two to six months. VF does not have any long-term supplier contracts for the purchase of raw materials. However, in connection with the sale of VF’s childrenswear business in 2004, VF has committed to purchase $15 million of finished goods per year through 2013.

For most domestic operations, VF purchases fabric from several domestic and international suppliers in conjunction with scheduled production. Purchased fabric is cut and sewn into finished garments in VF-owned domestic and offshore manufacturing facilities located in Mexico and the Caribbean Basin. In addition, VF contracts the sewing of VF-owned raw materials to independent contractors, primarily in Mexico and the Caribbean Basin. To an increasing extent, VF is using contractors in Asia and the Caribbean Basin who own the raw materials and provide only finished, ready-for-sale products to VF.

Over the last five years, VF closed a significant number of manufacturing facilities in the United States and shifted production to lower cost locations. As a result of this shift in sourcing, the amount of sales in the United States derived from products manufactured in lower cost locations outside the United States has increased each year over the last three years. During 2004, 3% of the units VF sold in the United States were manufactured in VF-owned plants in the United States. In contrast, at the end of 2000, approximately one-third of VF’s products sold in the United States were manufactured in VF-owned plants in the United States. Today, of the total products supporting sales to customers in the United States, 38% were manufactured in VF-owned facilities in Mexico and the Caribbean Basin and 59% were obtained from contractors, primarily in Asia.

The current sourcing strategy for products sold in the United States allows VF to balance its needs with a mix of VF-owned and contracted production in the Western Hemisphere, combined with contracted production primarily from Asia. Product obtained from the Western Hemisphere has somewhat higher cost but gives VF greater flexibility, shorter lead times and lower inventory levels as compared with production obtained from the Far East and other more distant resources. This combination of VF-owned and contracted production, along with different geographic regions and cost structures, provides a balanced approach to product sourcing. In 2005, a new sourcing hub will be opening in Miami. This facility is expected to handle all of the sourcing for the Western Hemisphere.

For VF’s international businesses, fabric, thread and trim are purchased from several international suppliers. In the European jeanswear operations, fabric is cut and sewn into finished garments in owned plants located in Malta, Poland and Turkey, with the balance sourced from independent contractors in the Middle East, Africa and the Far East. In the international intimate apparel businesses, fabric is sewn into finished garments in owned plants in Spain, France and Tunisia, with the remainder manufactured by independent contractors. To obtain a more balanced sourcing mix, European jeanswear and intimate apparel sourcing has been shifting from owned plants in Western Europe to lower cost owned and contracted production outside of Western Europe. For the European outdoor coalition businesses, nearly all products are sourced from contractors located in Asia.

All contracted production must meet VF’s high quality standards. Further, all independent contractors who manufacture products for VF must be pre-certified and adhere to the VF Contractor Terms of Engagement. These requirements provide strict standards covering hours of work, age of

10

workers, health and safety conditions and conformity with local laws. Each new contractor must be inspected and sign a Terms of Engagement agreement prior to performance of any production on VF’s behalf. VF periodically audits compliance with these standards.

VF did not experience difficulty in obtaining its raw material and contracting production needs during 2004. Management does not anticipate difficulties in obtaining its raw materials and contracting production requirements during 2005. The loss of any one supplier or contractor would not have a significant adverse effect on VF’s business.

Imports and Import Restrictions

VF is exposed to certain risks of doing business outside of the United States. VF imports goods from VF-owned facilities in Mexico and the Caribbean Basin and from suppliers in those areas and in Asia, Europe and Africa. These import transactions had been subject to the constraints imposed by bilateral agreements between the United States and a number of governments. These agreements were negotiated either under the framework established by the World Trade Organization (“WTO”) or other applicable statutes, and they imposed quotas that limited the amount of certain categories of merchandise from these countries that could be imported into the United States and the European Union. Restrictions under these agreements ended on December 31, 2004.

Pursuant to a 1995 Agreement on Textiles and Clothing under the WTO, effective January 1, 2005 the United States and other WTO member countries were required, with few exceptions, to remove quotas on goods from WTO member countries. The complete removal of quotas would benefit VF as well as other apparel companies by allowing them to source products without quantitative limitation from any countries. The only significant exceptions to the removal of quota that could affect VF are Vietnam and China. Vietnam is not a WTO member and is therefore still subject to quota on certain products to various countries. It is possible for countries to restrict China with safeguard quotas pursuant to the terms of China’s Accession Agreement to the WTO. The United States is expected to use the safeguard quota mechanisms on certain products sometime during 2005. Any of these actions could impact VF’s ability to import products but are monitored closely by our management to evaluate the possible business impact. Any effect of the imposition of safeguards is not expected to have a material impact on VF.

Management continually monitors new developments and risks related to duties, tariffs and quotas. In response to the changing import environment resulting from the elimination of quotas, management has chosen to continue its balanced approach to manufacturing and sourcing. VF limits its sourcing exposure through, among other measures, (1) extensive geographic diversification with a mix of VF-owned and contracted production, (2) allocation of production to merchandise categories where the free flow of product is available and (3) shifts of production among countries and contractors. VF will continue to manage its supply chain from a global perspective and adjust as needed to changes in the global production environment.

Seasonality

The apparel industry in the United States has four primary retail selling seasons — Spring, Summer, Back-to-School and Holiday, while international markets typically have Spring and Fall selling seasons. Sales to retail customers generally precede the retail selling seasons, although demand peaks have been reduced as more products are being sold on a replenishment basis.

Overall, with its diversified product offerings, VF’s operating results are somewhat seasonal. On a quarterly basis, consolidated Net Sales for 2004 ranged from a low of approximately 21% of full year

11

sales in the second quarter to a high of 30% in the third quarter. This disparity results primarily from the sales of outdoor apparel and equipment, which are more seasonal in nature. Assuming we had owned Vans, Napapijri, and Kipling for the full year in 2004, approximately 37% of outdoor apparel and equipment sales would have occurred in the third quarter. In addition, consolidated Net Sales for 2004 would have ranged from a low of approximately 22% in the second quarter to a high of 29% in the third quarter. These percentages are relatively consistent with prior years.

Working capital requirements vary throughout the year. Working capital increases during the first half of the year as inventory builds to support peak shipping periods and, accordingly, decreases during the second half. Cash provided by operations is substantially higher in the second half of the year due to higher net income and reduced working capital requirements during that period.

Advertising

VF supports its brands through extensive advertising and promotional programs. VF advertises on national and local radio and television and in consumer and trade publications and participates in cooperative advertising on a shared cost basis with major retailers in radio, television and various print media. VF sponsors various sporting, music and other special events. In addition, point-of-sale fixtures and signage are used to promote products at the retail level. VF spent $314.1 million advertising and promoting its products in 2004, an increase of 21% from the 2003 level.

VF also participates in various retail customer incentive programs. These incentive programs with retailers include stated discounts, discounts based on the retailer agreeing to advertise or promote the products, or margin support funds. VF also offers sales incentive programs directly to consumers in the form of rebate and coupon offers. These sales incentive offers with retailers and with consumers are recognized as sales discounts in arriving at reported Net Sales.

Other Matters

     Competitive Factors

VF’s business depends on its ability to stimulate consumer demand for its brands and products. VF is well-positioned to compete in the apparel industry by developing consumer-driven and innovative products at competitive prices, producing high quality merchandise, providing high levels of service, ensuring product availability to the retail sales floor and enhancing recognition of its brands. VF continually strives to improve on each of these areas. Many of VF’s brands have long histories and enjoy high recognition within their respective consumer segments.

Although VF is one of the largest apparel companies in the world, the apparel industry is highly competitive and consists of a number of domestic and foreign companies. In most product categories, there are numerous competing branded products, and in many product categories, there are competing specialty retailer branded products and private label products. In certain product categories and geographic areas in which VF operates, there may be several competitors that have more sales and assets than VF in those specific categories or geographic areas.

     Trademarks

Trademarks have substantial value in the marketing of VF’s products. VF has registered these trademarks in the United States and with governmental agencies in other countries where VF’s products are manufactured and/or sold. VF vigorously monitors and protects these trademarks against infringement and dilution where legally feasible and appropriate. In addition, VF grants

12

licenses to other parties to manufacture and sell products with our trademarks in product categories and in geographic areas in which VF does not operate.

     Customers

VF products are primarily sold through VF’s sales force and independent sales agents. VF’s customers are primarily department, chain, specialty and discount stores in the United States and in international markets, primarily in Europe. Sales to VF’s ten largest customers, all of which are retailers based in the United States, amounted to 38% of total sales in 2004, 41% in 2003 and 42% in 2002. Sales to the five largest of those customers amounted to approximately 29% of total sales in 2004, 33% in 2003 and 34% in 2002. Sales to VF’s largest customer, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., totaled 15.2% of total sales in 2004, 16.5% in 2003 and 16.2% in 2002, substantially all of which were in the Jeanswear and Intimate Apparel coalitions.

     Employees

VF employed approximately 53,200 men and women as of the end of 2004, of which 17,500 were located in the United States. Approximately 500 employees in the United States are covered by various collective bargaining agreements. In international markets, a significant percentage of employees are covered by trade-sponsored or governmental bargaining arrangements. Employee relations are considered to be good.

     Backlog

The dollar amount of VF’s order backlog as of any date is not material for an understanding of the business of VF taken as a whole.

Executive Officers of VF

The following are the executive officers of VF Corporation as of February 18, 2005. The officers are generally elected annually and serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. There is no family relationship among any of the VF Corporation executive officers.

13

Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that VF’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that material information required to be disclosed by VF in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Additionally, the disclosure controls and procedures were adequate to ensure that information is accumulated and communicated to VF’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

VF’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). VF’s management conducted an assessment of VF’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework described in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, VF’s management has determined that VF’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of January 1, 2005.

Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of VF’s internal control over financial reporting as of January 1, 2005 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is incorporated herein by reference to the 2004 Annual Report, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 13 to this report.
