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 wholly-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 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Note 3 — Net Income per Common Share
Basic net income per common share has been computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net income per share, when applicable, is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and potential dilutive common shares, consisting of stock options, stock purchase warrants and unvested restricted stock awards outstanding during the period. For the six months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010, 199,240 and 347,568 shares of common stock, respectively, were issued in connection with the exercise or vesting of equity awards.
A reconciliation between basic and diluted net income per share is as follows:

Note 4 — Notes Payable
The Company has a financing agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Agent for a consortium of banks. The Company’s financing agreement, which extends through July 31, 2013, is a senior secured revolving credit facility providing for borrowings in the aggregate principal amount of up to $300 million. Borrowings under this credit facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at the prime rate plus 0.50% or LIBOR plus 2.75%. Amounts available under this facility are subject to borrowing base formulas and over advances as specified in the financing agreement.
The financing agreement requires the Company, among other things, to maintain a maximum senior leverage ratio and minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined, and also limits payments for cash dividends and stock redemptions. As of July 31, 2011, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. The financing agreement is secured by all of the Company’s assets. Amounts payable under the Company’s revolving credit facility were $142.0 million and $77.4 million at July 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Note 5 — Segments
The Company’s reportable segments are business units that offer products through different channels of distribution and are managed separately. The Company operates in three segments: wholesale licensed products, wholesale non-licensed products and retail operations. There is substantial intersegment cooperation, cost allocations and sharing of assets. As a result, the Company does not represent that these segments, if operated independently, would report the operating results set forth in the table below. The following information, in thousands, is presented for the three and six month periods indicated below:

Substantially all of the Company’s other assets are commingled.
Note 6 — Fair Value Measurements
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), provides guidance requiring the use of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands the disclosure about such fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
 	 	 	
Level 1:	 	Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;	
 	 	 	
Level 2:	 	Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and	
 	 	 	
Level 3:	 	Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data and require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.	
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term trade receivables, accounts payable and notes payable under the Company’s credit facility. The carrying values on the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, short-term trade receivables, and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of such items and are classified as level 1. The carrying value on the balance sheet for the Company’s notes payable approximate their fair value due to the variable interest rate, and as such is classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company evaluates long-lived assets for recoverability in accordance with ASC 360, “Property Plant and Equipment” whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset may have been impaired. In evaluating an asset for recoverability, the Company estimates the future cash flow expected to result from the use of the asset and eventual disposition and market data assumptions. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss, equal to the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset, is recognized.
Note 7 — Investment in Joint Venture
In August 2010, AM Retail Group, Inc. (“AM Retail”), a wholly owned subsidiary, formed a joint venture with VCS Group LLC to open and operate footwear and accessory outlet stores under the name “Vince
9

 
Camuto.” Each company owns a 50% share in the joint venture and will provide 50% of the capital costs of the joint venture. The Company accounted for AM Retail’s investment in the joint venture using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company’s share of the loss from the joint venture for the six months ended July 31, 2011 was recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.
Note 8 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2011, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income. Under the amendments to Topic 220, Comprehensive Income, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. This eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The amendments do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The guidance in ASU 2011-05 is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company expects that ASU 2011-05 will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Note 9 — Subsequent Events
The Company has considered subsequent events up to the filing date and does not believe there are any occurrences that would have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations.

Overview
G-III designs, manufactures and markets an extensive range of apparel, including outerwear, dresses, sportswear, women’s suits and women’s performance wear, as well as luggage, women’s handbags, men’s bags and small leather goods. We sell our products under our own proprietary brands, which include Andrew Marc, Marc New York and Marc Moto, licensed brands and private retail labels. G-III also operates outlet stores under the Wilsons Leather name and is a party to a joint venture that operates outlet stores under the Vince Camuto name. While our products are sold at a variety of price points through a broad mix of retail partners and our own outlet stores, a majority of our sales are concentrated with our ten largest customers.
Our business is dependent on, among other things, retailer and consumer demand for our products. We believe that economic uncertainty and a slowdown in the global macroeconomic environment could continue to negatively impact the level of consumer spending for discretionary items. The current uncertain economic environment has been characterized by high unemployment which could result in a decline in consumer discretionary spending that may affect retailers and sellers of consumer goods, particularly those whose goods are viewed as discretionary purchases, such as fashion apparel and related products, such as ours. We cannot predict the direction in which the current economic environment will move. Continued uncertain macroeconomic conditions may have a negative impact on our results for fiscal 2012.
We operate in fashion markets that are intensely competitive. Our ability to continuously evaluate and respond to changing consumer demands and tastes, across multiple market segments, distribution channels and geographies, is critical to our success. Although our portfolio of brands is aimed at diversifying our risks in this regard, misjudging shifts in consumer preferences could have a negative effect on our business. Our success in the future will depend on our ability to design products that are accepted in the marketplace, source the manufacture of our products on a competitive basis, and continue to diversify our product portfolio and the markets we serve.
We operate our business in three segments: wholesale licensed products, wholesale non-licensed products and retail operations. The wholesale licensed segment includes sales of product under brands licensed by us from third parties. The wholesale non-licensed segment includes sales of product under our own brands and private label brands. The retail operations segment consists almost entirely of the operations of our Wilsons outlet stores.
We have expanded our portfolio of proprietary and licensed brands for more than 15 years through acquisitions and by entering into license agreements for new brands or for additional products under previously licensed brands. We have made five acquisitions since July 2005 that have helped to broaden our product offerings, expand our ability to serve different tiers of distribution and add a retail component to our business.
Our acquisitions are part of our strategy to expand our product offerings and increase the portfolio of proprietary and licensed brands that we offer through different tiers of retail distribution and at a variety of price points. We believe that both Andrew Marc and the Wilsons outlet business leverage our core strength in outerwear and provide us with new avenues for growth. We also believe that these acquisitions complement our other licensed brands, G-III owned labels and private label programs.
When we acquired Andrew Marc in February 2008, Andrew Marc was a supplier of fine outerwear and handbags for both men and women to upscale specialty and department stores. We have since expanded our product categories for Andrew Marc both in house and through licensing arrangements. We have expanded the distribution of outerwear by penetrating additional doors and selling new channels of distribution. We enhanced our website for Andrew Marc ( www.andrewmarc.com ) to further expand our product offerings. We launched Andrew Marc and Marc New York dress lines which began shipping in Fall 2009, leveraging our G-III dress capabilities and our manufacturing sources. We added to the Andrew Marc family of brands by creating the Marc Moto brand. The Marc Moto offering contains vintage inspired product that embraces legendary style. It is a denim lifestyle collection targeted toward young, independent men.
We began a program to license our Andrew Marc and Marc New York brands and entered into agreements to license these brands for women’s footwear, men’s accessories, women’s handbags, men’s cold weather accessories and men’s denim and related sportswear. We have entered into agreements to terminate the license agreements with respect to women’s handbags and men’s denim and related sportswear, and intend to pursue these initiatives in house. We also entered into Andrew Marc license agreements for eyewear in July 2010, men’s
12

 
dress shirts in September 2010, men’s tailored clothing in September 2010, watches in March 2011 and neckwear in April 2011. Andrew Marc men’s eyewear began shipping for the Spring 2011 season and men’s tailored clothing and men’s dress shirts for the Fall 2011 season. We expect first shipments of Andrew Marc neckwear to be made for the Holiday 2011 season and of Andrew Marc watches to be made for the Spring 2012 season.
We acquired the outlet store business of Wilsons The Leather Experts in July 2008. Our retail operations segment, which consists almost entirely of our Wilsons outlet store business, had an operating loss during fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2010. In fiscal 2011, the retail operations segment achieved an operating profit and we expect that it will also achieve an operating profit in fiscal 2012. We continue to believe that operation of the Wilsons outlet stores is part of our core competency, as outerwear comprised about one-half of our net sales at Wilsons in fiscal 2011. We expect to continue to implement and refine these initiatives with a view to creating a store concept that is capable of building growth and profitability over the long-term. In addition, we plan to open four Andrew Marc outlet stores this year. We expect to add a total of 10 to 15 new outlet stores in fiscal 2012. As of August 31, 2011, five new Wilsons outlet stores were in operation.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, we formed a joint venture with The Camuto Group to operate footwear and accessory outlet stores under the name “Vince Camuto.” The Camuto Group provides product and merchandises the stores. Through our Wilsons team, we provide the infrastructure and expertise for operation of the stores, including real estate, distribution, information systems, finance and administration. Both companies share equally in the capital costs of the joint venture. We opened our first Vince Camuto outlet store in April 2011 and, as of August 31, 2011, 10 of these stores were in operation. We expect to have 11 Vince Camuto stores in operation by year end. We are accounting for this joint venture under the equity method.
The sale of licensed product has been a key element of our business strategy for many years. As part of this strategy, we continue to add new fashion and sports apparel licenses. In May 2010, we added licenses for Calvin Klein luggage and for Calvin Klein women’s handbags and small leather goods. First shipment of these products commenced for the Spring 2011 season.
In September 2010, we entered into an extended and expanded license agreement with the National Football League to manufacture and market men’s and women’s outerwear, sportswear, and swimwear products in the United States under a variety of NFL trademarks. This license agreement is for five additional years and commences April 1, 2012. In October 2010, we expanded our relationship with Guess pursuant to a new license agreement for dresses. First shipments of our Guess dresses began for the Spring 2011 season. In May 2011, we entered into two new license agreements with the Camuto Group, expanding our product offerings with Camuto to include dresses and men’s outerwear. In June 2011, we also expanded our product categories with Tommy Hilfiger to include luggage. We expect to begin shipping the Hilfiger luggage for the Holiday 2011 season. Dresses under the Camuto label are expected to begin shipping for Spring 2012.
We believe that consumers prefer to buy brands they know and we have continually sought licenses that would increase the portfolio of name brands we offer through different tiers of retail distribution, for a wide array of products at a variety of price points. We believe that brand owners will look to consolidate the number of licensees they engage to develop product and they will seek licensees with a successful track record of expanding brands into new categories. We continually discuss new licensing opportunities with brand owners.
Trends
Significant trends that affect the apparel industry include increases in raw material, manufacturing and transportation costs, the continued consolidation of retail chains, the desire on the part of retailers to consolidate vendors supplying them and a shift in consumer shopping preferences away from traditional department stores to other retail venues.
During fiscal 2011, we and other apparel manufacturers began to experience increases in raw material prices and other costs. These conditions have continued into fiscal 2012. We expect to partially mitigate cost increases in fiscal 2012 and their effect on gross margins through a combination of alternate sourcing initiatives, shifting the fabrics we utilize, advantageous purchase of raw materials and price increases.
Retailers are seeking to expand the differentiation of their offerings by devoting more resources to the development of exclusive products, whether by focusing on their own private label products or on products produced exclusively for a retailer by a national brand manufacturer. Retailers are placing more emphasis on building strong images for their private label merchandise. Exclusive brands are only made available to a
13

 
specific retailer, and thus customers loyal to their brands can only find them in the stores of that retailer.
A number of retailers are experiencing financial difficulties, which in some cases has resulted in bankruptcies, liquidations and/or store closings. The financial difficulties of a retail customer of ours could result in reduced business with that customer. We may also assume higher credit risk relating to receivables of a retail customer experiencing financial difficulty that could result in higher reserves for doubtful accounts or increased write-offs of accounts receivable. We attempt to lower credit risk from our customers by closely monitoring accounts receivable balances and shipping levels, as well as the ongoing financial performance and credit standing of customers.
We have attempted to respond to these trends by continuing to focus on selling products with recognized brand equity, by attention to design, quality and value and by improving our sourcing capabilities. We have also responded with the strategic acquisitions made by us and new license agreements entered into by us that have added additional licensed and proprietary brands and helped diversify our business by adding new product lines, additional distribution channels and a retail component to our business. We believe that our broad distribution capabilities help us to respond to the various shifts by consumers between distribution channels and that our operational capabilities will enable us to continue to be a vendor of choice for our retail partners.
Results of Operations
Three months ended July 31, 2011 compared to three months ended July 31, 2010
Net sales for the three months ended July 31, 2011 increased to $230.0 million from $189.0 million in the same period last year. Net sales of wholesale licensed products increased to $158.1 million from $129.7 million primarily as a result of an increase of $9.6 million in net sales of Calvin Klein licensed product, mainly due to the introduction of our Calvin Klein handbag and luggage lines, $6.8 million in net sales of Kenneth Cole outerwear and $5.0 million in net sales of licensed sports apparel. Net sales of wholesale non-licensed products in the three months ended July 31, 2011 increased to $50.7 million from $40.7 million in the same period last year primarily due to an increase of $7.6 million in sales of private label outerwear. Net sales of our retail operations were $28.3 million for the three months ended July 31, 2011 compared to $23.8 million in the same period last year, as a result of an increase in the number of stores, as well as an 11% increase in comparable store sales.
Gross profit increased to $65.6 million, or 28.5% of net sales, for the three months ended July 31, 2011, from $60.8 million, or 32.2% of net sales, in the same period last year. The gross profit percentage in our wholesale licensed segment was 25.5% in the three months ended July 31, 2011 compared to 30.4% in the same period last year. The gross profit percentage in our wholesale non-licensed segment was 24.7% in the three month period ended July 31, 2011 compared to 26.5% in the same period last year. Gross profit for the wholesale licensed segment was impacted by greater promotional activity which resulted in lower initial selling prices as well as higher allowance support by us to our retailers. Gross profit for the wholesale non-licensed segment was impacted by lower initial selling prices as well as the sale of a higher proportion of lower margin product. The gross profit percentage for our retail operations segment was essentially flat at 45.1% for the three months ended July 31, 2011 compared to 44.5% for the comparable period last year.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $59.8 million in the three months ended July 31, 2011 from $53.8 million in the same period last year. This increase is primarily a result of increases in personnel costs ($2.3 million), facility costs ($1.0 million) and advertising and promotional expenses ($805,000). Personnel costs increased primarily due to the growth in the staffing of our Calvin Klein division, including the addition of two new product categories, as well as an increase in the number of Wilsons outlet stores. Facility costs increased as a result of rent expense associated with new leases entered into for additional showroom and office space to accommodate sales growth, as well as rent for additional retail stores. Advertising and promotional expenses increased because of the increase in sales of licensed product in the second quarter.
Depreciation and amortization increased to $1.9 million in the three months ended July 31, 2011 from $1.3 million in the same period last year primarily as a result of leasehold improvements made and fixtures added during fiscal 2011 for the additional showroom and office space we have leased.
Equity in loss of joint venture of $376,000 in the three months ended July 31, 2011 represents our share of the loss in the joint venture relating to the operation of Vince Camuto outlet stores. As this joint venture commenced operations in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, there is no amount for this item in the prior year’s comparable period.
14

 
Interest and financing charges, net for the three months ended July 31, 2011, were $952,000 compared to $634,000 for the same period last year. Our interest charges were higher because of higher average borrowings under our credit facility during the second quarter as a result of significantly higher inventory levels.
Income tax expense for the three months ended July 31, 2011 was $1.0 million compared to $2.0 million for the same period last year. The effective tax rate for the three months ended July 31, 2011 was 39.0% compared to an effective tax rate of 40.0% in the same period last year. The effective tax rate in the prior comparable period is higher primarily because we were not able to recognize the benefit of certain state losses incurred by our AM Retail Group, Inc. subsidiary that operates our Wilsons outlet stores.
Six months ended July 31, 2011 compared to six months ended July 31, 2010
Net sales for the six months ended July 31, 2011 increased to $426.8 million from $343.2 million in the same period last year. Net sales of wholesale licensed products increased to $285.8 million from $222.1 million primarily as a result of an increase of $33.9 million in net sales of Calvin Klein licensed product, mainly due to increased sales of our Calvin Klein women’s dresses and the introduction of Calvin Klein handbag and luggage lines, $8.4 million in net sales of Kenneth Cole outerwear and a $7.7 million in net sales of licensed sports apparel. Net sales of wholesale non-licensed products in the six months ended July 31, 2011 increased to $97.5 million from $81.0 million in the same period last year primarily due to an increase of $9.9 million in sales of private label outerwear. Net sales of our retail operations were $60.8 million for the six months ended July 31, 2011 compared to $53.8 million in the same period last year as a result of an increase in the number of stores, as well as an increase of 10% in comparable store sales.
Gross profit increased to $125.0 million, or 29.3% of net sales, for the six months ended July 31, 2011, from $109.8 million, or 32.0% of net sales, in the same period last year. The gross profit percentage in our wholesale licensed segment was 25.6% in the six months ended July 31, 2011 compared to 28.6% in the same period last year. The gross profit percentage in our wholesale non-licensed segment was 25.0% in the six month period ended July 31, 2011 compared to 27.7% in the same period last year. Gross profit for the wholesale licensed segment was impacted by greater promotional activity which resulted in lower initial selling prices as well as higher allowance support by us to our retailers. Gross profit for the wholesale non-licensed segment was impacted by lower initial selling prices as well as the sale of a higher proportion of lower margin product. The gross profit percentage for our retail operations segment was 45.0% for the six months ended July 31, 2011 compared to 44.2% for the comparable period last year.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $117.8 million in the six months ended July 31, 2011 from $103.5 million in the same period last year. This increase is primarily a result of increases in personnel costs ($5.1 million), facility costs ($2.8 million), outside warehousing expenses ($2.3 million) and advertising and promotional expenses ($1.5 million). Personnel costs increased primarily due to the growth in the staffing of our Calvin Klein division, including the addition of two new product categories, as well as an increase in the number of Wilsons outlet stores. Facility costs increased as a result of rent expense associated with new leases entered into for additional showroom and office space to accommodate sales growth, as well as rent for additional retail stores. Outside warehousing costs increased because of the increased sales volume compared to last year. Advertising and promotional expenses increased because of the increase in sales of licensed product compared to the first six months of last year.
Depreciation and amortization increased to $3.4 million in the six months ended July 31, 2011 from $2.6 million in the same period last year primarily as a result of leasehold improvements made and fixtures added during fiscal 2011 for the additional showroom and office space we have leased.
Equity in loss of joint venture of $475,000 in the six months ended July 31, 2011 represents our share of the loss in the joint venture relating to the operation of Vince Camuto outlet stores. As this joint venture commenced operations in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, there is no amount for this item in the prior year’s comparable period.
Interest and financing charges, net for the six months ended July 31, 2011, were $1.7 million compared to $996,000 for the same period last year. Our interest charges were higher because of higher average borrowings under our credit facility as a result of significantly higher inventory levels.
Income tax expense for the six months ended July 31, 2011 was $668,000 compared to $1.1 million for the same period last year. The effective tax rate for the six months ended July 31, 2011 was 39.0% compared to an effective tax rate of 40.0% in the same period last year. The effective tax rate in the prior comparable period is higher primarily because we were not able to recognize the benefit of certain state losses incurred by our AM Retail Group, Inc. subsidiary that operates our Wilsons outlet stores.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary cash requirements are to fund our seasonal build up in inventories and accounts receivable, primarily during our second and third fiscal quarters each year. Due to the seasonality of our business, we generally reach our maximum borrowing under our asset-based credit facility during our third fiscal quarter. The primary sources to meet our cash requirements have been borrowings under our credit facility, cash generated from operations and proceeds from offerings of our common stock.
The amount borrowed under our line of credit varies based on our seasonal requirements. At July 31, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $8.6 million and outstanding borrowings of $142.0 million. At July 31, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $6.1 million and outstanding borrowings of $77.4 million.
Our contingent liability under open letters of credit was approximately $31.3 million as of July 31, 2011 compared to $25.4 million as of July 31, 2010.
Financing Agreement
We have a financing agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Agent for a consortium of banks. The financing agreement, which extends through July 31, 2013, is a senior secured revolving credit facility providing for borrowings in the aggregate principal amount of up to $300 million. Borrowings under this credit facility bear interest, at our option, at the prime rate plus 0.50% (3.75% at July 31, 2011) or LIBOR plus 2.75% (2.94% at July 31, 2011). Amounts available under this facility are subject to borrowing base formulas and over advances as specified in the financing agreement.
The financing agreement requires us, among other things, to maintain a maximum senior leverage ratio and minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined, and also limits payments for cash dividends and stock redemptions. As of July 31, 2011, we were in compliance with these covenants. The financing agreement is secured by all of our assets.
Cash from Operating Activities
We used $135.4 million of cash in operating activities during the six months ended July 31, 2011, primarily as a result of an increase of $117.4 million in inventory, $33.2 million in accounts receivable and $11.5 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets, offset in part by an increase of $22.4 million in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other items.
The increases in inventory and payables are consistent with our seasonal pattern of building up inventory for the fall shipping season. The increase in accounts receivable is associated with sales increases in the period. Prepaid expenses and other current assets increased as a result of advance payments made to licensors under our licensing agreements.
Cash from Investing Activities
We used $10.5 million of cash in investing activities in the six months ended July 31, 2011 of which $8.0 million were for capital expenditures and $2.5 million was for an investment in the joint venture relating to the Vince Camuto outlet stores. The capital expenditures related primarily to build out and renovation costs with respect to the amended leases we entered into in March 2010 relating to our existing corporate showrooms and offices to extend the leases and add additional office space. We expect our capital expenditures and investments in joint venture for fiscal 2012 to aggregate approximately $15.0 million for the build out and renovation of the additional showroom and office space, the addition of approximately 10 — 15 outlet stores and the funding of the joint venture.
Cash from Financing Activities
Cash from financing activities provided $144.5 million in the six months ended July 31, 2011, primarily as a result of $142.0 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility and $2.0 million in tax benefits recognized from the exercise or vesting of equity awards. We increased our borrowings as a result of payments for purchases of inventory. Inventory levels compared to the prior year are higher primarily as a result of our replenishment programs in our suits and sportswear product lines, our purchase of inventory for our new luggage and handbag product lines and the seasonal build up of product for our fall outerwear shipping season.

Financing Needs
We believe that our cash on hand and cash generated from operations, together with funds available from our revolving credit facility, will be sufficient to meet our expected operating and capital expenditure requirements, as well as to fund the cost of any shares that we may repurchase. We may seek to acquire other businesses in order to expand our product offerings or to otherwise add complementary businesses. We may need additional financing in order to complete one or more acquisitions. We cannot be certain that we will be able to obtain additional financing, if required, on acceptable terms or at all.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion of results of operations and financial condition relies on our consolidated financial statements that are prepared based on certain critical accounting policies that require management to make judgments and estimates that are subject to varying degrees of uncertainty. We believe that investors need to be aware of these policies and how they impact our financial statements as a whole, as well as our related discussion and analysis presented herein. While we believe that these accounting policies are based on sound measurement criteria, actual future events can and often do result in outcomes that can be materially different from these estimates or forecasts. The accounting policies and related estimates described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2011 are those that depend most heavily on these judgments and estimates. As of July 31, 2011, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
There are no material changes to the disclosure made with respect to these matters in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2011.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and thus, are effective in making known to them material information relating to G-III required to be included in this report.
During our last fiscal quarter, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2011, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. There have been no material changes to the risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
