NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Company’s wholesale business consists of recognized brands for department and specialty stores located in China, Europe, Japan and the United States.

(“Catch-Luck”), Nanjing New-Tailun Garments Co. Ltd (“New-Tailun”), Ever-Glory International Group Apparel Inc.(“Ever-Glory Apparel”) and Nanjing Tai Xin Garments Trading Company Limited (“Tai Xin”) (formed on March 19, 2012), and the Company’s wholly-owned Samoa subsidiary, Ever-Glory International Group (HK) Ltd. (“Ever-Glory HK”). The Company’s retail operations are provided through its wholly- owned subsidiary, Shanghai LA GO GO Fashion Company Limited (“LA GO GO”).

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2012, the condensed consolidated statements comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they have been condensed and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Wholesale revenues are generally higher in the third and fourth fiscal quarters, while retail revenues are generally higher in the first and fourth fiscal quarters. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

NOTE 2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Financial Instruments

Management has estimated that the carrying amounts of non-related party financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities. The fair value of amounts due from (to) related parties is not practicable to estimate due to the related party nature of the underlying transactions.

Fair Value Accounting

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below:

	Level 1	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
	Level 2	Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;
	Level 3	Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

At March 31, 2012, the Company’s financial assets (all Level 1) consist of cash placed with financial institutions that management considers to be of a high quality.

As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, The Company has a derivative liability subject to recurring fair value measurement ( Level 3) with the change in fair value recognized in earnings (Note 5).

Foreign Currency Translation and Other Comprehensive Income

The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the Company, Ever-Glory HK and Perfect Dream Limited, British Virgin Islands incorporated subsidiary of the Company (“Perfect Dream”) is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of Goldenway, New Tailun, Catch-luck, Ever-Glory Apparel, Tai Xin and LA GO GO is the Chinese RMB.

For subsidiaries whose functional currency is the RMB, all assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate at the balance sheet date; equity was translated at historical rates and items in the statement of comprehensive income were translated at the average rate for the period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income. The resulting translation gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred. Items in the cash flow statement are translated at the average exchange rate for the period.

NOTE 3 INVENTORIES

Jiangsu Ever-Glory engages in importing/exporting, apparel-manufacture, real-estate development, car sales and other activities. Jiangsu Ever-Glory is controlled by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Because of restrictions on its ability to directly import and export products, the Company utilizes Jiangsu Ever-Glory as its agent to assist the Company with its import and export transactions and its international transportation projects. Import transactions primarily consist of purchases of raw materials and accessories designated by the Company’s customers for use in garment manufacture. Export transactions consist of the Company’s sales to foreign markets such as Japan, Europe and the United States. As the Company’s agent, Jiangsu Ever-Glory’s responsibilities include managing customs, inspection, transportation, insurance and collections on behalf of the Company. Jiangsu Ever-Glory also manages transactions denominated in currencies other than the Chinese RMB at rates of exchange agreed between the Company and Jiangsu Ever-Glory and based upon rates of exchange quoted by the People’s Bank of China. In return for these services, Jiangsu Ever-Glory charged the Company a fee of approximately 3% of export sales manufactured in China and 1% of export sales manufactured overseas. For import transactions, the Company may make advance payments, through Jiangsu Ever-Glory, for the raw material purchases, or Jiangsu Ever-Glory may make advance payments on the Company’s behalf. For export transactions, accounts receivable for export sales are remitted by the Company’s customers through Jiangsu Ever-Glory, who forwards the payments to the Company. The Company and Jiangsu Ever-Glory have agreed that balances from import and export transactions may be offset. Amounts due to (from) Jiangsu Ever-Glory are typically settled within 60-90 days. Interest of 0.5% is charged on net amounts due at each month end. Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $272,736 and $19,116, respectively. Following is a summary of import and export transactions for the three months ended March 31, 2012:

	Accounts Receivable		Accounts Payable		Net
As of January 1, 2012	$	19,999,373	$	2,399,226	$	17,600,147
Sales	$	3,446,505		2,586,316		-
Payments Received/Made	$	41,720	$	9,407		-
As of March 31,2012	$	23,404,158	$	4,976,135	$	18,428,023

Approximately 8.5% of the receivable balance at March 31, 2012 was settled by May 8, 2012.

Loan from Related Party

As of January 1, 2010 the Company owed $1.0 million to Blue Power Holdings Limited, a company controlled by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Interest was charged at 6% per annum on the amounts due. The loans were paid in full in April 2011.

NOTE 10 CONCENTRATIONS AND RISKS

The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the normal course of business and generally does not require collateral. As a result, management performs ongoing credit evaluations, and the Company maintains an allowance for potential credit losses based upon its loss history and its aging analysis. Based on management’s assessment of the amount of probable credit losses, if any, in existing accounts receivable, management has concluded that no allowance for doubtful accounts is necessary at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. Management reviews the allowance for doubtful accounts each reporting period based on a detailed analysis of accounts receivable. In the analysis, management primarily considers the age of the customer’s receivable and also considers the credit worthiness of the customer, the economic conditions in the customer’s industry, and general economic conditions and trends, among other factors. If any of these factors change, the Company may also change its original estimates, which could impact the level of the Company’s future allowance for doubtful accounts. If judgments regarding the collectability of accounts receivables are incorrect, adjustments to the allowance may be required, which would reduce profitability.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, the Company had two wholesale customers that represented approximately 15% and 13% of the Company’s revenues. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, the Company had two wholesale customers that represented approximately 19% and 16% of the Company’s revenues.

For the wholesale business, the Company did not rely on any one raw material supplier during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

For the retail business, the Company relied on two raw materials suppliers that represented approximately 24% and 11% of raw material purchases during the three months ended March 31, 2012. The Company relied on two raw materials suppliers that represented approximately 11% each of raw materials purchases during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

For the wholesale business, during the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company relied on three manufacturers for 15%, 12% and 11% of purchased finished goods, and during the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company relied on one manufacturer for 11% of purchased finished goods.

For the retail business, the Company did not rely on any one supplier of purchased finished goods during the three months ended March 31, 2012, and during the three months ended March 31, 2011 the Company relied on one supplier for approximately 11% of purchased finished goods.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and corresponding notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations, and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the Risk Factors and Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements in this report. We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “target”, “forecast” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.

Overview

Our Business

We are a leading apparel supply-chain manager and retailer in China. We are listed on the NYSE Amex under the symbol of “EVK”.

We classify our businesses into two segments: Wholesale and Retail. Our wholesale business consists of wholesale-channel sales made principally to famous brands and department stores located throughout Europe, the U.S., Japan and the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). We focus on well-known, middle-to-high grade casual wear, sportswear, and outerwear brands. Our retail business consists of retail-channel sales directly to consumers through retail stores located throughout the PRC.

Although we have our own manufacturing facilities, we currently outsource most of the manufacturing to our long-term contractors as part of our overall business strategy. We believe outsourcing allows us to maximize our production capacity and maintain flexibility while reducing capital expenditures and the costs of keeping skilled workers on production lines during low seasons. We oversee our long-term contractors with our advanced management solutions and inspect products manufactured by them to ensure that they meet our high quality control standards and timely delivery.

Wholesale Business

We conduct our original design manufacturing (“ODM”) operations through six wholly-owned subsidiaries which are located in the Nanjing Jiangning Economic and Technological Development Zone and Shang Fang Town in the Jiangning District in Nanjing, China: Ever-Glory International Group Apparel Inc. (“Ever-Glory Apparel”), Goldenway Nanjing Garments Company Limited (“Goldenway”), Nanjing New-Tailun Garments Company Limited (“New Tailun”), Nanjing Catch-Luck Garments Co., Ltd. (“Catch-Luck”), Ever-Glory International Group (HK) Ltd. (“Ever-Glory HK”), and Nanjing Tai Xin Garments Trading Company Limited (“Tai Xin”).

Retail Business

We conduct our retail operations through Shanghai LA GO GO Fashion Company Limited (“LA GO GO”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ever-Glory Apparel.

Business Objectives

Wholesale Business

We believe the enduring strength of our wholesale business is mainly due to our consistent emphasis on innovative and distinctive product designs that stand for exceptional styling and quality. We maintain long-term, satisfactory relationships with a portfolio of well-known, mid-class global brands.

The primary business objective for our wholesale segment is to expand our portfolio into higher-class brands, expand our customer base and improve our profit. We believe that our growth opportunities and continued investment initiatives include:

	Ÿ	Expand the global sourcing network

	Ÿ	Expand our overseas low-cost manufacturing base (outside of mainland China);

Focus on high value-added products and continue our strategy to produce mid to high end apparel

Continue to emphasize on product design and technology utilization.

	Ÿ	Seek strategic acquisitions of international distributors that could enhance global sales and our distribution network

	Ÿ	Maintain stable revenue increase in the markets while shifting focus to higher margin wholesale markets such as mainland China.

Retail Business

The business objective for our retail segment is to establish a leading brand of women’s apparel and to build a nationwide retail network in China. As of March 31, 2012, we have 484 stores (including store-in-stores) which included 26 stores that were opened and 9 stores that were closed in first quarter of 2012.

We believe that our growth opportunities and continued investment initiatives include:

	Ÿ	Build the LA GO GO brand to be recognized as a major player in the mid-end women's apparel market in China;

	Ÿ	Expand the LA GO GO retail network throughout China

	Ÿ	Improve the LA GO GO retail stores’ efficiency and increase same-store sales

	Ÿ	Continue to launch LA GO GO flagship stores in Tier-1 Cities and increase penetration and coverage in Tier-2 and Tier-3 Cities

	Ÿ	Become a multi-brand operator by seeking opportunities for long-term cooperation with reputable international brands and by facilitating international brands entry into the Chinese market.

Seasonality of Business

Our business is affected by seasonal trends, with higher levels of wholesale sales in our third and fourth quarters and higher retail sales in our first and fourth quarters. These trends primarily result from the timing of seasonal wholesale shipments and holiday periods in the retail segment.

Collection Policy

Wholesale business

For our new customers, we generally require orders placed to be backed by letters of credit. For our long-term and established customers with a good payment track record, we generally provide payment terms between 30 to 120 days following delivery of finished goods.

Retail business

For store-in-store shops, we generally receive payments from the stores between 60 and 90 days following the date of the register receipt. For our own flagship stores, we receive payments at the same time of the register receipt.

Global Economic Uncertainty

Our business is dependent on consumer demand for our products. We believe that the significant uncertainty in the global economy and a slowdown in the United States and European economies have increased our clients’ sensitivity to the cost of our products. We have experienced continued pricing pressure. If the global economic environment continues to be weak, these worsening economic conditions could have a negative impact on our sales growth and operating margins in our wholesale segment in 2012.

In addition, economic conditions in the United States and in foreign markets in which we operate could substantially affect our sales and profitability and our cash position and collection of accounts receivable. Global credit and capital markets have experienced unprecedented volatility and disruption. Business credit and liquidity have tightened in much of the world. Some of our suppliers and customers may face credit issues and could experience cash flow problems and other financial hardships. These factors currently have not had an impact on the timeliness of receivable collections from our customers. We cannot predict at this time how this situation will develop and whether accounts receivable may need to be allowed for or written off in the coming quarters.

Despite the various risks and uncertainties associated with the current global economy, we believe our core strengths will continue to allow us to execute our strategy for long-term sustainable growth in revenue, net income and operating cash flow.

Summary of Critical Accounting Policies

We have identified critical accounting policies that, as a result of judgments, uncertainties, uniqueness and complexities of the underlying accounting standards and operation involved could result in material changes to our financial position or results of operations under different conditions or using different assumptions.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize wholesale revenue from product sales, net of value-added taxes, upon delivery for local sales and upon shipment of the products for export sales, at such time title passes to the customer provided however that (i) there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance (ii) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists (iii) the sales price is fixed and determinable, and (iv) collectability is deemed probable. We recognize wholesale revenue from manufacturing fees charged to buyers for the assembly of garments from materials provided by the buyers upon completion of the manufacturing process and shipment of the products for export sales, provided that (i)there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance (ii) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists (iii) the sales price is fixed and determinable, and (iv) collectability is deemed probable. Retail sales are recorded at the time of register receipt.

Estimates and Assumptions

In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we use estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Our estimates are often based on complex judgments, probabilities and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable, but that are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. We are also subject to other risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ from estimated amounts. Significant estimates in 2012 and 2011 include the assumptions used to value warrants and the estimates of the allowance for deferred tax assets.

The following table summarizes our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. The table and the discussion below should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

Total	$	53,226,173		100.0	%	$	53,208,237		100.0	%		0.0	%

Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were both $53.2 million.

Sales generated from our wholesale business contributed 57.6% or $30.7 million of our total sales for the three months ended March 31, 2012, a decrease of 24.5% compared to $40.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2011. This decrease was primarily attributable to decreased sales in the PRC, Germany, and the United States. The reduced sales in the wholesale segment was primarily due to the following factors (i) due to the worsening European debt crisis, high unemployment rates in the United States, and global economic uncertainty and instability, the advanced economies represented by Europe and the US are recovering slowly, which seriously impacted China's apparel exports, so, our overseas wholesale business also faced declining orders; (ii) domestic apparel market demand was hurt by the warmer than expected weather in the typical peak season in the fourth quarter of 2011 and the first quarter of 2012, which caused purchases by retailers to drop significantly in the first quarter of 2012. Therefore, our wholesale business declined in the first quarter of 2012.

Sales generated from our retail business contributed 42.4% or $22.6 million of our total sales for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of 79.1% compared to 23.7% or $12.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2011. This increase was primarily due to the increase in same store sales and new stores opened. We had 484 LA GO GO stores as of March 31, 2012, compared to 305 LA GO GO stores at March 31, 2011.

This decrease was primarily attributable to: (i) the outsourced manufacturing costs in the PRC decreased because we had available domestic capacity in the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared with limited capacity in the three months ended March 31, 2011, and our Chinese suppliers were willing to lower their prices due to their excess production capacity (ii) outsourced orders to our related entities in Vietnam and Cambodia, which have lower labor costs compared to orders outsourced to Chinese factories.

Overhead and other expenses for our wholesale business accounted for 0.8% of our total wholesale business sales for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of 0.3% compared to 0.5% of total sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011. This increase was mainly because of decreased outsourced production.

For our wholesale business gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $5.6 million, a decrease of 2.4% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. Gross margin was 18.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of 4.2% compared to 14.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase was mainly due to decreased raw materials prices and outsourced manufacturing costs.

Production costs for our retail business were $7.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $4.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011. As a percentage of retail sales, retail production costs accounted for 34.9% of our total retail sales in the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to 34.3% of total retail sales in the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase was due to reduced sales prices for increased sales volume.

Rent costs for our retail business were $8.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. As a percentage of sales, rent costs accounted for 38.7% of our total retail sales for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to 39.3% of total retail sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Total rent costs increased as a result of the increase in the number of our stores. The decrease in rent costs as a percentage of total retail sales was due to an increase in same store sales in 2012.

Gross profit in our retail business for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $6.0 million and gross margin was 26.4%. Gross profit in our retail business for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $3.3 million and gross margin was 26.4%.

Total cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $41.6 million, compared to $44.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of 5.6%. As a percentage of total sales, cost of sales decreased to 78.2% of total sales for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to 82.9% of total sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Consequently, gross margin increased to 21.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from 17.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Our selling expenses consist primarily of local transportation, unloading charges, product inspection charges, salaries for retail staff and decoration and marketing expenses associated with our retail business.

Our general and administrative expenses include administrative salaries, office expense, certain depreciation and amortization charges, repairs and maintenance, legal and professional fees, warehousing costs and other expenses that are not directly attributable to our revenues.

Costs of our distribution network that are excluded from cost of sales consist of local transportation and unloading charges, and product inspection charges. Accordingly our gross profit amounts may not be comparable to those of other companies who include these amounts in cost of sales.

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2012					2011					Increase
	(in U.S. Dollars, except for percentages)
Gross Profit		$	11,602,988	21.8	%		$	9,112,012	17.1	%		27.3	%
Operating Expenses:
Selling Expenses			5,834,192	11.1	%			3,589,105	6.7			62.6
General and Administrative Expenses			3,005,276	5.6	%			2,211,842	4.2			35.9

Income from Operations		$	2,763,520	5.2	%		$	3,311,065	6.2	%		(16.5	)%

Selling expenses increased 62.6% to $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase was attributable to the increased number of retail employees and increased average salaries, as well as increased store decoration and marketing expenses associated with the promotion of the LA GO GO brand.

General and administrative expenses increased 35.9% to $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. As a percentage of total sales, general and administrative expenses increased to 5.6% of total sales for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to 4.2% of total sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase was attributable to an increase in payroll for additional management and design and marketing staff as a result of our business expansion.

Income from Operations

Income from operations decreased 16.5% to $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. As a percentage of sales, income from operations accounted for 5.2% of our total sales for the three months ended March 31, 2012, a decrease of 1.0% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011 as a result of increasing selling expenses and general and administrative expenses, as well as reduced retail sales prices.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of 108.2% compared to the same period in 2011. The increase was due to the increased bank loans as a result of our business expansion, from $19.5 million at March 31, 2011 to $25.0 million at March 31, 2012.

Change in fair value of derivative liability

Change in fair value of derivative liability was a gain of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, based on the Binnomial Lattice model, for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Income Tax Expenses

Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $0.5 million, a decrease of 22.7% compared to the same period of 2011. The decrease was primarily due to lower taxable income.

Our PRC subsidiaries are governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC concerning Foreign Investment Enterprises and Foreign Enterprises and various local income tax laws. Each of our consolidated entities files its own separate income tax return.

Below is a summary of the income tax rate for each of our PRC subsidiaries in 2011 and 2012:

	Goldenway			New-Tailun			Catch-Luck			LA GO GO			Ever-Glory Apparel			Tai Xin
2011		25.0	%		25.0	%		25.0	%		25.0	%		25.0	%		-	%
2012		25.0	%		25.0	%		25.0	%		25.0	%		25.0	%		25.0	%

Perfect Dream Limited was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on July 1, 2004, and has no income tax.

Ever-Glory International Group (HK) Ltd was incorporated in Samoa on September 15, 2009, and has no liabilities for income tax.

The Company was incorporated in the United States and has incurred net operating losses for income tax purposes through 2010. The net operating loss carries forwards for United States income taxes may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income. These carry forwards will expire, if not utilized, through 2031. Management believes that the realization of the benefits from these losses is uncertain due to our limited operating history and continuing losses for United States income tax purposes. Accordingly, we provided a 100% valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset to reduce the asset to zero.

Net Income

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $2.1 million, a decrease of 18.8% compared to the same period in 2011. Our diluted earnings per share were $0.14 and $0.18 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in our net income.

Summary of Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities was $ 8.9 million and $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. This increase was mainly due to decreased inventories and accounts receivable offset by decreased accounts payable.

Net cash used in investing activities was $0.7 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. This increase was mainly due to the renovation and construction of LA GO GO’s headquarters.

Net cash used in financing activities was $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared with net cash provided by financing activities of $1.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we repaid $17.8 million of bank loan and received bank loan proceeds of $13.5 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $12.8 million, other current assets of $91.5 million and current liabilities of $66.9 million. We presently finance our operations primarily from cash flows from operations and we anticipate that this will continue to be our primary source of funds to finance our short-term cash needs.

Bank Loans

On August 2, 2010, Goldenway entered into a two-year revolving line of credit agreement with Nanjing Bank, which allows the Company to borrow up to approximately $7.86 million (RMB50 million). As of March 31, 2012, under this agreement, the Company had borrowed approximately $5.38 million (RMB34 million) with annual interest rates of 7.02%, and due on various dates from May to July 2012. These loans are guaranteed by Jiangsu Ever-Glory International Group Corp.(“Jiangsu Ever-Glory”), an entity controlled by Mr. Kang, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. These loans are also collateralized by the Company’s property and equipment.

Total interest expense on bank loans for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 amounted to $546,041 and $261,271, respectively.

All bank loans are used to fund our daily operations.

Loans from related party

As of March 31, 2011 the Company owed $0.9 million to Blue Power Holdings Limited, a company controlled by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Interest was charged at 6% per annum on the amounts due. The loans were paid in full in April 2011. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company incurred interest expense of $909.

Capital Commitments

We have a continuing program for the purpose of improving our manufacturing facilities and extending our LA GO GO stores. We anticipate that cash flows from operations and borrowings from banks will be used to pay for these capital commitments.

Uses of Liquidity

Our cash requirements for the next twelve months will be primarily to fund daily operations and the growth of our business.

Sources of Liquidity

Our primary sources of liquidity for our short-term cash needs are expected to be from cash flows generated from operations, and cash equivalents currently on hand. We believe that we will be able to borrow additional funds if necessary.

We believe our cash flows from operations together with our cash and cash equivalents currently on hand will be sufficient to meet our needs for working capital, capital expenditure and other commitments for the next twelve months. No assurance can be made that additional financing will be available to us if required, and adequate funds may not be available on terms acceptable to us. If funding is insufficient at any time in the future, we will develop or enhance our products or services and expand our business through our own cash flows from operations.

As of March 31, 2012, we had access to $22.7 million in lines of credit, of which $16.3 million was unused and is currently available. These credit facilities do not include any covenants.

Foreign Currency Translation Risk

Our operations are, for the most part, located in the PRC, which may give rise to significant foreign currency risks from fluctuations and the degree of volatility in foreign exchange rates between the United States dollar and the Chinese RMB. Most of our sales are in dollars. During 2003 and 2004, the exchange rate of RMB to the dollar remained constant at 8.26 RMB to the dollar. On July 21, 2005, the Chinese government adjusted the exchange rate from 8.26 to 8.09 RMB to the dollar. From that time, the RMB continued to appreciate against the U.S. dollar. As of March 31, 2012, the market foreign exchange rate had increased to 6.33 RMB to one U.S. dollar. We are continuously negotiating price adjustments with most of our customers based on the daily market foreign exchange rates, which we believe will reduce our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations in the future, and will pass some of the increased cost to our customers.

In addition, the financial statements of Goldenway, New-Tailun, Catch-Luck, Ever-Glory Apparel, Tai Xin and LA GO GO (whose functional currency is the RMB) are translated into US dollars using the current rate method. The balance sheet items are translated into US dollars using the exchange rates at the respective balance sheet dates. The capital and various reserves are translated at historical exchange rates prevailing at the time of the transactions while income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. All exchange differences are recorded within equity. Foreign currency translation gain for the three and three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $0.40 million and $0.24 million respectively.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our investors.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio and have no foreign exchange contracts. Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, bank loans and long-term obligations. We consider investments in highly-liquid instruments purchased with a remaining maturity of 90 days or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Interest Rates: Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our short-term investments and short-term obligations; thus, fluctuations in interest rates would not have a material impact on the fair value of these securities. On March 31, 2012, we had $12.8 million in cash and cash equivalents. A hypothetical 5% increase or decrease in either the short term or long term interest rates would not have any material impact on our earnings or loss, or the fair market value or cash flows of these instruments.

Foreign Exchange Rates: We pay our suppliers and employees in Chinese RMB, however, most of our wholesales customers are located in the U.S., Japan and Europe and we generate sales from them in U.S. Dollars, Euros and British Pounds. Accordingly, our business has substantial exposure to changes in exchange rates between and among the Chinese RMB, the U.S. Dollar, the Euro and the British Pound. In the last decade, the RMB has been pegged at 8.26 RMB to one U.S. Dollar. On July 21, 2005 it was revalued to 8.09 per U.S. Dollar. Following the removal of the peg to the U.S. Dollar and pressure from the United States, the People’s Bank of China also announced that the RMB would be pegged to a basket of foreign currencies, rather than being strictly tied to the U.S. Dollar, and would be allowed to float trade within a narrow 0.3% daily band against this basket of currencies. The PRC government has stated that the basket is dominated by the U.S. Dollar, Euro, Japanese Yen and South Korean Won, with a smaller proportion made up of the British Pound, Thai Baht, Russian Ruble, Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar and Singapore Dollar. There can be no assurance that the relationship between the RMB and these currencies will remain stable over time, especially in light of the significant political pressure on the Chinese government to permit the free flotation of the RMB, which could result in greater and more frequent fluctuations in the exchange rate between the RMB, the U.S. Dollar and the Euro. On March 31, 2012, the exchange rate between the RMB and U.S. Dollar was 6.33 RMB to one U.S. Dollar. For additional discussion regarding our foreign currency risk, see the section titled Risk Factors in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended on December 31, 2011. Fluctuation in the value of Chinese RMB relative to other currencies may have a material adverse effect on our business and/or an investment in our shares.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ( the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of March 31, 2012, the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were operating effectively as of March 31, 2012.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls. Readers are cautioned that our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. An internal control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any control design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management has worked, and will continue to work to improve our internal controls over financial reporting. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, there were no other 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 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are from time to time, during the normal course of our business operations, subject to various litigation claims and legal disputes. We do not believe that the ultimate disposition of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
