G-III APPAREL GROUP, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1 - General Discussion - --------------------------- The results for the three and six month periods ended July 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the entire fiscal year, given the seasonal nature of the Company's business. The accompanying financial statements included herein are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented have been reflected. The Company consolidates the accounts of all its majority-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended January 31, 2001. Certain reclassifications have been made to conform to the fiscal 2001 presentation. Note 2 - Inventories - -------------------- Inventories consist of: JULY 31, January 31, 2001 2001 -------------- ------------- (in thousands) Finished products $ 46,034 $ 17,605 Work-in-process 8,977 1,707 Raw materials 28,639 23,138 ------- ------- $ 83,650 $ 42,450 ======= ======= Note 3 - Net Income Per Common Share - ------------------------------------ Basic earnings per share amounts have been computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. When applicable, diluted earnings per share amounts are computed using the weighted average number of common shares and the dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Note 4 - Notes Payable - ---------------------- The Company's loan agreement, which expires on May 31, 2002, is a collateralized working capital line of credit with six banks that provides for a maximum line of credit in amounts that range from $45 million to $85 million at specific times during the year. The line of credit provides for maximum direct borrowings ranging from $30 million to $72 million during the year. The unused balance may be used for letters of credit. Amounts available for borrowing are subject to borrowing base formulas and overadvances specified in the agreement. There was $62.8 million outstanding at July 31, 2001 and no loan balance outstanding at January 31, 2001 under this agreement. - 7 -
Notes payable also includes borrowings by PT Balihides, the Company's Indonesian subsidiary, under a credit facility with an Indonesian bank. During the six month period ended July 31, 2001, the Company reduced the amount of this foreign debt. There were notes payable outstanding under this facility of $800,000 as of July 31, 2001 and $1.5 million as of January 31, 2001. Note 5 - Nonrecurring Charge - ---------------------------- The nonrecurring charge refers to the reserve associated with the closure of the company's domestic factory that was completed by January 31, 1995. The balance of $181,000 at July 31, 2001 and $228,000 at January 31, 2001 relates to the remaining obligation under an operating lease obligation. Based on current estimates, management believes that existing accruals are adequate. Other long-term liabilities include $80,000 and $131,000 of nonrecurring charges at July 31, 2001 and January 31, 2001, respectively. Note 6 - Segments - ----------------- The Company's reportable segments are business units that offer different products and are managed separately. The company operates in two segments, licensed and non-licensed apparel.

Item 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- of Operations. -------------- Unless the context otherwise requires, "G-III", "us", "we" and "our" refer to G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. and its subsidiaries. References to fiscal years refer to the year ended or ending on January 31 of that year. Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q concerning our business outlook or future economic performance; anticipated revenues, expenses or other financial items; product introductions and plans and objectives related thereto; and statements concerning assumptions made or expectations as to any future events, conditions, performance or other matter, are "forward-looking statements" as that term is defined under the Federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those stated in such statements. Such risks, uncertainties and factors include, but are not limited to, reliance on foreign manufacturers, risks of doing business abroad, the nature of the apparel industry, including changing consumer demand and tastes, seasonality, customer acceptance of new products, the impact of competitive products and pricing, dependence on existing management, general economic conditions, as well as other risks detailed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Traditionally, we have our highest quarterly sales volume in the quarter ending October 31 of each year. We are unable to predict the effect that the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 will have on our business and related retail sales. The effects of these recent events could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations for the three months ending October 31, 2001 and for the six months and year ending January 31, 2002. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net sales for the three months ended July 31, 2001 were $62.9 million compared to $47.4 million for the same period last year. The increase in net sales during the quarter was attributable to a $10.9 million increase in sales of non-licensed apparel and a $4.7 million increase in sales of licensed apparel. Net sales for the six months ended July 31, 2001 were $80.1 million compared to $58.0 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase in net sales in the six month period was attributable to a $15.8 million increase in sales of non-licensed apparel and a $6.3 million increase in sales of licensed apparel. Gross profit was $16.6 million, or 26.4% of net sales, for the three months ended July 31, 2001 compared to $13.8 million, or 29.1% of net sales, for the same period last year. Gross profit was $19.6 million, or 24.4% of net sales, for the six months ended July 31, 2001 compared to $16.0 million, or 27.6% of net sales, for the same period last year. The decrease in gross profit percentage for the three month period ended July 31, 2001 resulted from a lower gross profit percentage in the non-licensed apparel segment offset, in part, by a higher gross profit percentage in the licensed apparel segment. The gross profit percentage decreased in the non-licensed apparel segment primarily due to sales of lower margin products. In addition, a portion of the decrease resulted from a lower volume of commission fee income. Commission fee income, which is primarily generated in the non-licensed apparel segment, decreased to $1.4 million during the three months ended July 31, 2001 from $1.7 million in the comparable period of the prior year. There is no cost of goods sold component associated with commission transactions. - 9 -
The decrease in gross profit percentage for the six month period ended July 31, 2001 was due primarily to a larger portion of sales at deeper discounts in both the licensed and non-licensed apparel segments. In addition, commission fee income decreased to $1.5 million during the six months ended July 31, 2001 from $2.1 million in the comparable period of the prior year. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2001 were $9.0 million compared to $7.3 million in the three months ended July 31, 2000. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended July 31, 2001 were $16.5 million compared to $13.6 million for the same period last year. The increases in both the three and six month periods were primarily a result of expenses relating to the start-up of the Cole Haan, Caterpillar, and the two Jones New York divisions, which increased expenses in the licensed apparel segment by $1.4 million in the three month period and $1.6 million in the six month period. In addition, during the six month period, personnel expenses increased by $856,000 and facility expenses increased by $314,000 over the comparable period of the prior year. Interest expense and finance charges for the three months ended July 31, 2001 were $1.1 million compared to $787,000 in the same period last year. Interest expense and finance charges for the six month period ended July 31, 2001 were $1.4 million compared to $872,000 in the same period last year. The increase in interest expense in both the three and six month periods resulted primarily from increased inventory investments needed to support our increased sales volume offset, in part, by lower interest rates. Income tax expense was $2.6 million for the three months ended July 31, 2001 compared to $2.3 million in the same period in the prior year. Income tax expense was $662,000 for the six months ended July 31, 2001 compared to $605,000 in the same period last year. Our effective tax rate was 40% in both periods in each fiscal year. For the three months ended July 31, 2001, we had net income of $3.9 million, or $.52 per diluted share, compared to $3.4 million, or $.49 per diluted share, for the same period in the prior year. For the six months ended July 31, 2001, we had net income of $993,000, or $.13 per diluted share, compared to $928,000, or $.13 per diluted share, for the same period in the prior year. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Our loan agreement, which expires on May 31, 2002, is a collateralized working capital line of credit with six banks that provides for a maximum line of credit in amounts that range from $45 million to $85 million at specific times during the year. The line of credit provides for maximum direct borrowings ranging from $30 million to $72 million during the year. The unused balance may be used for letters of credit. Amounts available for borrowing are subject to borrowing base formulas and overadvances specified in the agreement. Direct borrowings under the line of credit bear interest at our option at either the prevailing prime rate (6.5% as of September 1, 2001) or LIBOR plus 225 basis points (5.8% at September 1, 2001). All borrowings are collateralized by our assets. The loan agreement requires us, among other covenants, to maintain specified earnings and tangible net worth levels, and prohibits the payment of cash dividends. - 10 -
The amount borrowed under the line of credit varies based on our seasonal requirements. As of July 31, 2001, direct borrowings were $62.8 million and contingent liabilities under open letters of credit was approximately $13.6 million compared to direct borrowings of $44.9 million and contingent liabilities under open letters of credit of approximately $19.3 million as of July 31, 2000. The increase in borrowings under our credit facility compared to last year resulted primarily from the increase in inventories needed to support our increased sales volume. PT Balihides, our Indonesian subsidiary, has a separate credit facility with an Indonesian bank. During the six month period ended July 31, 2001, we reduced the amount of this foreign debt. There were notes payable outstanding under this facility of approximately $800,000 as of July 31, 2001 and $1.5 million as of January 31, 2001. In November 1999, along with Black Entertainment Television ("BET"), we decided to discontinue our BET Design Studio joint venture. The joint venture was started in February 1997 to provide a BET-branded clothing and accessory line. BET and us each contributed $3.8 million to this joint venture, of which $1.0 million was contributed during the quarter ended April 30, 2000. The final distribution from the joint venture company was made in January 2001. On December 20, 1999, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $1,000,000 worth of our common stock. We purchased 244,817 shares of our common stock at a total cost of $970,000. We concluded this buyback program in the quarter ended April 30, 2000, when we expended $540,000 to purchase our shares. EFFECT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Derivatives Effective February 1, 2001, we adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." Due to the immaterial amount of our derivative and hedging activity, the effect of adopting SFAS 133 on our results of operations and financial position was immaterial. Business Combinations/Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations, and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new rules, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the Statements. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. We will apply the new rules on accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets beginning in the first quarter of the fiscal year ending January 31, 2003. We do not believe the new pronouncements will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations - 11 -
