G-III APPAREL GROUP, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1 - General Discussion The results for the three month period ended April 30, 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: April 30, January 31, 2001 2001 ---------- ----------- (in thousands) Finished products $ 33,958 $ 17,605 Work-in-process 8,090 1,707 Raw materials 30,015 23,138 -------- -------- $ 72,063 $ 42,450 ======== ======== Note 3 - Net Loss 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 $64 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 $23.8 million outstanding at April 30, 2001 and no loan balance outstanding at January 31, 2001 under this agreement. -6-

Notes payable also includes borrowings by PT Balihides, the Company's Indonesian subsidiary, under a credit facility with an Indonesian bank. During the three month period ended April 30, 2001, the Company began to reduce the amount of this foreign debt. There were notes payable outstanding under this facility of $950,000 as of April 30, 2001 and $1.5 million as of January 31, 2001. Subsequent to April 30, 2001, notes payable outstanding under this facility were further reduced to $800,000. 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 $204,000 at April 30, 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 $105,000 and $131,000 of nonrecurring charges at April 30, 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.

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. Results of Operations Traditionally, the three month period ending April 30 has been the quarter with the lowest sales volume during our fiscal year. Net sales for the three months ended April 30, 2001 were $17.2 million compared to $10.6 million for the same period last year. The increase in net sales during the quarter was attributable to a $5.0 million increase in sales of non-licensed apparel and a $1.6 million increase in sales of licensed apparel. Gross profit was $3.0 million, or 17.2% of net sales, for the three month period ended April 30, 2001 compared to $2.2 million, or 20.6% of net sales, for the same period last year. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased due to selling a greater proportion of lower-margin product than last year and an increase in close-out sales for inventory management purposes compared to the same period last year. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $7.5 million for the three month period ended April 30, 2001 compared to $6.3 million for the same period last year. The increase over the prior year is primarily the result of increased personnel and advertising expenses incurred in connection with our new product lines for Jones New York, Cole Haan and Caterpillar. Interest expense and finance charges for the three month period ended April 30, 2001 were $305,000 compared to $85,000 for the comparable period last year. The increase in interest expense resulted primarily from higher borrowings needed to support the increase in our inventory compared to last year as orders for fall merchandise deliveries are at a higher level than in the prior year. Income tax benefit of $1.9 million reflects an effective tax rate of 40% for the three months ended April 30, 2001 compared to an income tax benefit of $1.7 million which reflected the same effective tax rate in the comparable period last year. As a result of the foregoing, for the three months ended April 30, 2001, we had a net loss of $2.9 million, or $0.44 per share, compared to a net loss of $2.5 million, or $0.38 share, for the comparable period last year. -8-

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 $64 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 $23.8 million outstanding at April 30, 2001 and no loan balance outstanding at January 31, 2001 under this agreement. Direct borrowings under the line of credit bear interest at our option at either the prevailing prime rate (7.0% as of June 1, 2001) or LIBOR plus 225 basis points (6.3% at June 1, 2001). All borrowings are collateralized by the assets of our Company. The loan agreement requires us, among other covenants, to maintain specified earnings and tangible net worth levels, and prohibits the payment of cash dividends. The amount borrowed under the line of credit varies based on our seasonal requirements. As of April 30, 2001, direct borrowings were $23.8 million and contingent liability under open letters of credit was approximately $15.7 million compared to direct borrowings of $7.0 million and contingent liability under open letters of credit of approximately $21.8 million as of April 30, 2000. The increase in borrowings under our credit facility compared to last year resulted primarily from the increase in our inventories. PT Balihides, our Indonesian subsidiary, has a separate credit facility with an Indonesian bank. During the three month period ended April 30, 2001, the Company began to reduce the amount of this foreign debt. There were notes payable outstanding under this facility of approximately $950,000 as of April 30, 2001 and $1.5 million as of January 31, 2001. Subsequent to April 30, 2001, notes payable outstanding under this facility were further reduced to $800,000. 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, the Company 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 derivative and hedging activity within the Company, the effect of adopting SFAS 133 on the Company's results of operations and financial position was immaterial. -9-
