INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
AM Apparel Holdings, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of AM Apparel Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. The consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AM Apparel Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Organization and Basis of Presentation

a.

AM Apparel Holdings, Inc. (“AM”), a Delaware corporation, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Andrew & Suzanne Company and A. Marc & Company Inc., designs, imports, markets and distributes better quality men’s and women’s outerwear, consisting principally of leather. Customers consist primarily of department stores and national chains throughout the United States. AM, through its wholly owned subsidiary Ash Retail Corp., sells men’s and women’s outerwear through its own retail store in New Jersey.

b.

On April 20, 2007, the Company merged with AM Merger Corporation, a Delaware corpo­ration, with the Company being the surviving entity. As a result of the merger, all of the issued and outstanding shares of both common and preferred stock of the Company were canceled and the shareholders of AM Merger Corporation became the shareholders of the Company. Prior to the merger, AM Merger Corporation issued $4 million of common stock and $4 million of subordinated notes to GB Holdings I, LLC, the sole shareholder of the Company (the “Shareholder”).

On April 20, 2007, the Company and an affiliate of the Shareholder entered into a second subordinated note agreement (“MPA Subordinated Note”). The MPA Subordinated Note calls for $5.1 million, which was advanced to the Company in 2006, to be due and payable November 30, 2008.

At December 31, 2006, the Company was in default of various covenants on its Factoring and Financing Agreement and Term Loans. On April 20, 2007, waivers for all prior periods were obtained where necessary and the Company’s Factoring and Financing Agreement and Term Loans were amended. Both the Amended Factoring and Financing Agreement and Amended Term Loans called for the Company to explore strategic alternatives, including without limitation, a sale of the assets or equity interest of the Company or to refinance its debt obligations.

On February 11, 2008, the Shareholder sold its 100% interest in the Company. Concurrent with the sale the due to factor, the term loans and the subordinated notes were repaid.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AM and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

2.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

Sales are recognized upon shipment of products, or in the case of retail sales, at the time of register receipt. Allowances for estimated returns, discounts and other allowances are provided when sales are recorded.

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company includes all freight costs associated with shipping goods to customers as part of selling, general and administrative expenses. Shipping and handling costs were $295 and $351 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Accounts Receivable/Due From Factor

Accounts receivable, including factored accounts, are reported at amounts expected to be collected, net of allowance for non-collection due to the financial position of customers, and an allowance for estimated sales returns, discounts and other allowances. It is the Company’s policy to regularly review the accounts receivable aging for specific accounts past due and set up an allowance for accounts when collection is uncertain. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, no allowance for doubtful accounts was considered necessary.

Loan Origination Costs

Included in other assets is approximately $697 and $161 of loan origination costs, net of accumulated amortization of $714 and $139, for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Loan origination costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective loan.

Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with high quality financial institutions and limits the amount of credit exposure to any single financial institution or instrument. As to non-factored accounts receivable, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers and generally requires no collateral. As of December 31, 2007, the Company received a letter of credit of $870 as collateral for a non-factored accounts receivable. The Company drew on this letter of credit in 2008.

Significant Customers

In 2007, sales to a customer totaled $17,848 or 22% of sales for the year. In 2006, sales to two customers aggregated $23,546 or 33% of net sales.

Inventory

Inventory, which consists primarily of finished goods, is stated at the lower of cost or market. For both wholesale and retail inventories, cost is determined by the average cost method.

Property, Equipment and Depreciation

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are being amortized over the life of the lease or the life of the improvement, whichever is lower.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the net of fair value amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed as well as additional consideration paid. Other intangibles consists of trademarks, which management has determined have indefinite lives. The Company applies Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (“SFAS 142”), “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” in accounting for goodwill and other intangibles. In accordance with SFAS 142, the Company does not amortize goodwill and intangibles with indefinite lives but rather applies an impairment approach. Accordingly, goodwill and intangibles with indefinite lives were tested for impairment through the use of an independent third party appraiser.

The fair value of the reporting entity is compared to the carrying value when conducting the impairment test. The fair value is determined by evaluating a combination of the expected present value of future cash flows (income approach), and market and industry factors (market approach). Due to several factors, including higher operating costs, the earnings forecast for the next several years was revised. Based on the Company’s evaluation, an impairment loss on goodwill of $8,000 and $10,000 was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. There were no indications of impairment losses on other intangibles.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are depreciated over their useful lives. In addition, these assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the related asset or group of assets, a loss will be recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, other than the goodwill impairment, no impairment losses have been recognized.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This standard requires recognition of future tax benefits, measured by enacted rates, attributable to deductible temporary differences between financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities to the extent that realization of such benefits is “more likely than not.” Temporary differences between financial statement and income tax reporting relate primarily to net operating loss carryforwards, inventory and receivable reserves, certain accruals and depreciation.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, advertising costs amounted to $2,469 and $3,606, respectively.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid short term investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Included in accounts payable at December 31, 2007 is a cash overdraft of approximately $652.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, if any, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

4.

Factoring and Financing Arrangement

The Company factors substantially all of its accounts receivable with a bank. The bank assumes credit risks for all credit-approved accounts, with the Company responsible for collection on customer claims and charge–backs. The Company pays a factoring fee, which can vary, as defined in the factoring agreement, but in most cases is 0.4% of the gross amount of factored receivables.

In connection with the Factoring Agreement, the Company entered into a Financing Agreement with the same bank. The Financing Agreement provides for revolving loans to the Company in an aggregate maximum amount not to exceed the lower of eligible accounts receivable and inventory, as defined, or $40 million. The Financing Agreement also provides for seasonal over-advances. Interest on borrowings is at the Bank Prime Rate (7.25% at December 31, 2007). The Financing Agreement calls for the Company to maintain certain financial covenants, with which the Company was not in compliance at December 31, 2007. Borrowings are secured by substantially all tangible assets of the Company. The revolving loan outstanding was repaid in full on February 11, 2008 (see Note 1).

Term Loans

Term Loan A matures May 31, 2008. Interest is payable monthly at the Prime Rate plus 5%. The term loan also calls for interest payable in kind (“PIK Interest”) at an annual rate of 1%. The accrued PIK Interest is included in the outstanding loan balance.

Term Loan B matures May 31, 2008. Interest is payable monthly at the Prime Rate plus 5.75% (Prime Rate plus 9.0% prior to April 20, 2007). The Term Loan B also calls for PIK interest at the Prime Rate plus 4.75% (Prime Rate plus 1.5% prior to April 20, 2007). The accrued PIK Interest is included in the outstanding loan balance.

The term loans include a provision for the payment of excess cash flow, as defined.

The Company is subject to various financial covenants, with which the Company was not in compliance at December 31, 2007. The Term Loans are secured by a first priority position in all intangibles of the Company and a second position security interest in all other assets of the Company.

The term loans were paid in full on February 11, 2008 (see Note 1).

Subordinated Notes

The subordinated fourth lien note is payable to the shareholder and matures on May 5, 2010. Interest which accrues quarterly at an annual rate of 20% is payable at loan maturity. The accrued interest is included in the outstanding loan balance.

The subordinated MPA note is payable to an affiliate of the shareholder and matures on November 30, 2008. Interest, which accrues monthly at an annual rate of 18% is payable at loan maturity. The accrued interest is included in the outstanding loan balance.

The subordinated notes were paid in full on February 11, 2008 (see Note 1) and therefore have been presented as current liabilities on the accompanying balance sheet.

Affiliate Loan

An affiliate of the Shareholder advanced approximately $7.6 million to the Company during 2006 primarily for inventory purchases. In April 2007, $5.1 million of those advances were converted to the subordinated MPA note payable. The remaining amount of approximately $2.5 million was paid in 2007. These amounts are subordinate to the Factoring and Financing Arrangement as well as the Term Loan Agreement discussed above.

At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company has deferred tax assets of approximately $4,385 and $2,544, respectively. These assets consist primarily of inventory and receivable reserves, net operating loss carryforwards, and certain accruals. The deferred tax liability at December 31, 2007 and 2006 of $100 and $140, respectively, consists of depreciation differences.

The benefit for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 does not bear a normal relationship to pretax loss because the $8,000 and $10,000 write-off of goodwill, respectively, is not deductible for tax purposes.

At December 31, 2007, the Company has approximately $4.5 million of net operating loss carryforwards expiring through 2027 available to offset future taxable income.

Litigation

During 2007, former shareholders of the Company commenced litigation against the Company regarding various actions taken by the Company’s Board of Directors including the sale of the Company discussed in Note 1. Among other things, the former shareholders claim they are entitled to proceeds from the sale of the Company. Although it is too early to determine the ultimate outcome of this litigation, the Company believes the claims of the former shareholders are without merit and intends to vigorously counter such claims. No adjustment has been made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements in connection with this matter.

Exhibit 99.2

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA

Except as otherwise indicated in the information included in this Exhibit 99.2, or as the context may otherwise require, references to (i) the terms “we,” “us,” “G-III,” and “our” refer to G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. and its subsidiaries; (ii) the term “AM Apparel” refers to AM Apparel Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries; and (iii) the term “Acquisition” refers to our acquisition of the stock of AM Apparel Holdings, Inc.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data as of and for the year ended January 31, 2008 give effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred on the dates indicated below and after giving effect to the pro forma adjustments. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2008 has been derived from G-III’s audited consolidated statement of income for its fiscal year ended January 31, 2008 and AM Apparel’s audited consolidated statement of operations for its year ended December 31, 2007 and gives effect to the consummation of the Acquisition as if it had occurred on February 1, 2007. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2008 has been derived from G-III’s audited consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2008 and AM Apparel’ ;s audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007, as adjusted to give effect to the Acquisition as if it occurred on January 31, 2008.

The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that we consider reasonable. The pro forma results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that we would have achieved had the Acquisition reflected therein been consummated on the date indicated or that we will achieve in the future. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data are based on preliminary estimates and assumptions set forth in the accompanying notes. Pro forma adjustments are necessary to reflect the estimated purchase price and to adjust amounts related to the assets and liabilities of AM Apparel to a preliminary estimate of their fair values. Pro forma adjustments are also necessary to reflect the changes in depreciation and amortization expense resulting from fair value adjustments to assets, interest income due to the us e of cash to acquire AM Apparel, and the taxation of G-III’s and AM Apparel’s combined income as a result of the Acquisition, as well as the effects related to such pro forma adjustments.

The pro forma adjustments and allocation of purchase price are preliminary and are based on our estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The final purchase price allocation will be completed after asset and liability valuations are finalized. This final valuation will be based on the actual assets and liabilities of AM Apparel that existed as of the date of the completion of the Acquisition. Any final adjustments may materially change the allocation of the purchase price, which could affect the fair value assigned to the assets and liabilities and could result in a significant change to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data.
