                        Report of Independent Accountants


Blue Bell Pension and Profit Sharing Committee
Blue Bell Savings, Profit Sharing and Retirement Plan

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of the Blue Bell Savings, Profit Sharing and Retirement Plan (the "Plan") at
December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, and the changes in net assets available
for benefits for the three years ended December 31, 2000 in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 of these statements in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America which
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, 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.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held
for investment purposes and of reportable transactions are presented for the
purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements but are 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. These supplemental
schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

              BLUE BELL SAVINGS, PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

General - The Plan is an employee contributory defined contribution plan
covering all salaried employees of former Blue Bell, Inc. and certain
subsidiaries (the "Company") who met age and service requirements and were
employed prior to September 30, 1988. VF Corporation ("VF") assumed
responsibility for sponsorship of the plan following VF's acquisition of Blue
Bell, Inc. The Plan is a frozen plan, under which participants no longer accrue
benefits but that will remain in existence as long as necessary to pay accrued
benefits. It is subject to provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). Details of the Plan are available in the booklet "Blue
Bell Savings, Profit Sharing and Retirement Plan".

Vesting - The Plan is frozen, and all participants are fully vested. No further
contributions have or will be made by either the Company or participants.

Participant Accounts - Each participant's account is credited with earnings.
Earnings are based upon the balance each of the participants has in each of the
respective funds.

Employee accounts are invested at the direction of the employee in one or more
of the funds administered by the Plan's trustees. All Plan assets are trusteed
by Fidelity Management Trust Company with the exception of the Fixed Income Fund
which is trusteed by UMB Bank, n.a. Members have the opportunity to change
investment elections daily. A member's investment election will continue in
effect until changed by the member pursuant to a subsequent investment election.
The investment programs of the Plan are as follows:

         (a)      Money Market Fund: Monies are invested in a money market fund.

         (b)      Fixed Income Fund: Monies are invested in investments that
                  provide a fixed rate of return.

         (c)      Balanced Fund: Monies are invested in investments to obtain as
                  much income as possible, consistent with the preservation and
                  conservation of capital.

         (d)      Equity Growth & Income Fund: Monies are invested in
                  investments that are currently paying dividends and/or offer
                  prospects for growth of capital and future income, with
                  emphasis on capital appreciation.

         (e)      Index 500 Fund: Monies are invested in the 500 stocks that
                  make up the S&P 500 Stock Price Index.

         (f)      Dividend Growth Fund: Monies are invested in stocks of
                  companies that have the potential to increase the amount of
                  their dividends or begin paying them if none are being paid
                  now.

         (g)      Small-Cap Value Fund: Monies are invested in U.S. common
                  stocks of small companies whose price is undervalued.

         (h)      Small-Cap Growth Fund: Monies invested in small and medium
                  size companies with undervalued assets or favorable growth
                  prospects.

         (i)      Foreign Fund: Monies are invested in stocks and debt

The total number of participants in the Plan was less than the sum of
participants shown above because many were participating in more than one fund.

Distributions - Distributions to participants or their beneficiaries are payable
at the time of normal retirement, early retirement for those who qualify,
qualifying layoff, death, or disability while employed by the Company. In
addition, participants are entitled annually to withdraw the lesser of up to 25%
of their individual account balance or $10,000, for any reason. Various methods
are available for settlement of a participant's vested account balance including
lump-sum cash settlement, periodic payments, and purchase of an annuity.
Distributions are recorded when paid.

Plan Termination - Although it has no intent to do so, the Board of Directors of
the Company may amend, modify, or terminate the Plan at any time. In the event
the Plan is terminated, each member is entitled to his or her proportionate
share of net assets available for benefits as of the termination date.

NOTE B - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General - Administrative expenses of the Plan are charged to the Plan. Purchases
and sales of securities are recorded on a trade date basis.

Investments are stated at fair value. Securities traded on a national securities
exchange are valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of
the plan year. The fair value of the participation units owned by the Plan in
mutual funds and bank common trust funds is based on quoted redemption values on
the last business day of the plan year. Dividends are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.

The Plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets the net appreciation
(depreciation) in the fair value of its investments, which consists of realized
gains or losses and unrealized appreciation or depreciation on those
investments. Realized gains or losses are calculated on an average cost basis.

Use of Estimates: In preparing financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, management makes estimates and assumptions that
affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Payment of Benefits:  Benefits are recorded when paid.


Reclassifications: Certain amounts included in the prior year financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

NOTE C - INCOME TAXES

The Internal Revenue Service has ruled by letter dated March 5, 1987 that the
Plan qualifies under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and is,
therefore, not subject to tax under present income tax law. Once qualified, the
Plan is required to operate in conformity with the IRC to maintain its
qualification. The Plan has been amended since receiving a tax determination
letter. However, the Blue Bell Pension and Profit Sharing Committee is not aware
of any course of action or series of events that have occurred that might
adversely affect the Plan's qualified status. The Plan has been amended since
receiving the determination letter. However, the Plan administrator and the
Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan is currently designed and is currently
being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.


NOTE D - INVESTMENTS

The fair value of individual investments that represent 5% or more of the Plan's
net assets available for benefits are as follows:
