NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

As used in these financial statements, the term “Company” or “G-III” refers to G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. and its subsidiaries. The Company designs, manufactures and markets an extensive range of apparel, including outerwear, dresses, sportswear, swimwear, women’s suits and women’s performance wear, as well as footwear, luggage and women’s handbags, small leather goods and cold weather accessories. The Company also operates retail stores.

The Company consolidates the accounts of all its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Vilebrequin International SA (“Vilebrequin”), a Swiss corporation, and the Company’s joint venture that operates Calvin Klein Performance retail stores in mainland China and Hong Kong, G-T (International) Fashion Company Limited (“G-T Fashion”), report results on a calendar year basis rather than on the January 31 fiscal year basis used by the Company. Accordingly, the results of Vilebrequin and G-T Fashion are and will be included in the financial statements for the quarter ended or ending closest to the Company’s fiscal quarter. For example, in this Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 30, 2014, the results of Vilebrequin and G-T Fashion are included for the three month period ended March 31, 2014.

The results for the three month period ended April 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the entire fiscal year, given the seasonal nature of the Company’s business. The accompanying financial statements included herein are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim period presented have been reflected.

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, 2014 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Note 2 – Acquisition of G.H. Bass

On November 4, 2013, G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. and its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, AM Retail Group, Inc (“AM Retail Group”) entered into an asset purchase agreement with PVH Retail Stores LLC, PVH Corp. and PVH of Puerto Rico, Inc., providing for the sale to AM Retail Group of substantially all of the assets of the G.H. Bass & Co. (“G.H. Bass”) business, including approximately 160 G.H. Bass & Co. outlet stores. The purchase price was $49.2 million in cash.

G.H. Bass & Co. is a well-known heritage brand that embodies classic American style. The Company sells G.H. Bass & Co. footwear, apparel and accessories primarily through approximately 160 outlet stores located in the United States. The Company also licenses the brand for the wholesale distribution of men’s and women’s footwear and men’s sportswear.

The results of G.H. Bass have been included in these consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition.

Note 3 – Inventories

Wholesale inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined by the first-in, first out method) or market which comprises a significant portion of the Company’s inventory. Retail inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market as determined by the retail inventory method. Vilebrequin inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined by the weighted average method) or market. Inventories consist of:

Note 4 – 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 is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and potential dilutive common shares, consisting of unvested restricted stock awards and stock options outstanding, during the period. In addition, all share based payments outstanding that vest based on the achievement of performance conditions, and for which the respective performance conditions have not been achieved, have been excluded from the diluted per share calculation. Approximately 325,500 shares of common stock have been excluded from the diluted net income per share calculation for the three months ended April 30, 2014. For the three months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013, 97,687 and 118,170 shares of common stock, respectively, were issued in connection with the exercise or vesting of equity awards.

 The reconciliation between basic and diluted net income per share is as follows: 

Note 5 – Notes Payable and Other Liabilities

The Company’s credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent for a group of lenders, is a five year senior secured credit facility through August 2017 providing for borrowings in the aggregate principal amount of up to $450 million. Amounts available under the credit agreement are subject to borrowing base formulas and over advances as specified in the credit agreement. As of April 30, 2014, there was $160.9 million available under the credit agreement.

Borrowings bear interest, at the Company’s option, at LIBOR plus a margin of 1.5% to 2.0% or prime plus a margin of 0.5% to 1.0%, with the applicable margin determined based on availability under the credit agreement. The credit agreement requires the Company to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined, under certain circumstances and prohibited payments for cash dividends, stock redemptions and share repurchases until February 2014, after which such payments may be made subject to compliance with certain covenants. As of April 30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

The credit agreement is secured by all of the assets of G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. and its subsidiaries, G-III Leather Fashions, Inc., Riviera Sun, Inc., CK Outerwear, LLC, Andrew & Suzanne Company Inc., AM Retail Group, Inc., G-III Apparel Canada ULC, G-III License Company, LLC and AM Apparel Holdings, Inc.

Amounts payable under the Company’s credit agreement were $63.0 million at April 30, 2014 and $76.1 million at April 30, 2013.

In August 2012, as part of the purchase price in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Vilebrequin, the Company issued to the seller €15.0 million (approximately $18.6 million using the exchange rate on the date of acquisition) principal amount of unsecured promissory notes due December 31, 2017, with interest payable at the rate of 5% per year. The promissory notes were recorded at stated value, which approximated fair value, on the date of issuance. The fair value of these promissory notes was $20.5 million at April 30, 2014 (using the exchange rate on that date), which approximated their carrying value.

Due to noncontrolling shareholder consists of amounts loaned to G-T Fashion and its subsidiary by the other joint venture partner. These loans, in the aggregate principal amount of $5.1 million as of April 30, 2014, are unsecured and have maturities of less than one year.

Note 6 – Segments

The Company’s reportable segments are business units that offer products through different channels of distribution and are managed separately. The Company has three reportable segments; licensed products, non-licensed products and retail operations. The G.H. Bass business was added to the retail operations segment upon its acquisition in November 2013. There is substantial intersegment cooperation, cost allocations and sharing of assets between the licensed and non-licensed products segments. 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 month periods indicated below:

The total assets for each of the Company’s reportable segments are as follow:

Note 7 – Investment in Joint Venture

The Company owns 51% of a joint venture that operates Calvin Klein Performance retail stores in mainland China and Hong Kong and consolidates its accounts in the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s share of net loss of this investment is included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The joint venture’s loss from continuing operations was $410,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2014.

Note 8 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued the Accounting Statement Update (“ASU”) 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” (“ASU 2013-11”). The amendments in ASU 2013-11 require companies to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion thereof, as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward, unless the uncertain tax position is not available to reduce, or would not be used to reduce, the net operating loss or tax credit carryforward under the tax law in the same jurisdiction; otherwise, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a gross liability and should not be combined with a deferred tax asset. ASU 2013-11 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013 and should be applied to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist as of the effective date. Companies may choose to apply this guidance retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant, and Equipment,” (ASU 2014-08). This ASU changes the threshold for reporting discontinued operations and adds new disclosures. The new guidance defines a discontinued operation as a disposal of a component or group of components that is disposed of or is classified as held for sale and “represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results.” For disposals of individually significant components that do not qualify as discontinued operations, the Company must disclose pre-tax earnings of the disposed component. This guidance is effective for the Company prospectively for all disposals (or classifications as held for sale) of components of an entity that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted, but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its 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 its results of operations.

Unless the context otherwise requires, “G-III”, “us”, “we” and “our” refer to G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. and its subsidiaries. References to fiscal years refer to the year ended or ending on January 31 of that year. For example, our fiscal year ending January 31, 2015 is referred to as “fiscal 2015”. Vilebrequin and G-T Fashion report results on a calendar year basis rather than on the January 31 fiscal year basis used by G-III. Accordingly, the results of Vilebrequin and G-T Fashion are and will be included in our financial statements for the quarter ended or ending closest to G-III’s fiscal quarter. For example, in this Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 30, 2014, the results of Vilebrequin and G-T Fashion are included for the three month period ended March 31, 2014.

Various statements contained in this Form 10-Q, in future filings by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), in our press releases and in oral statements made from time to time by us or on our behalf constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and are indicated by words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “will,” “project,” “we believe,” “is or remains optimistic,” “currently envisions,” “forecasts,” “goal” and similar words or phrases and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from the future results, performance or achievements expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements also include representations of our expectations or beliefs concerning future events that involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to:

These forward-looking statements are based largely on our expectations and judgments and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are unforeseeable and beyond our control. A detailed discussion of significant risk factors that have the potential to cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations is described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2014. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Overview

G-III designs, manufactures and markets an extensive range of apparel, including outerwear, dresses, sportswear, swimwear, women’s suits and women’s performance wear, as well as footwear, luggage and women’s handbags, small leather goods and cold weather accessories. We sell our products under our own proprietary brands, which include Vilebrequin, Bass, G.H. Bass, Andrew Marc and Marc New York, licensed brands and private retail labels. G-III operates retail stores under the Wilsons Leather, G.H Bass, Vilebrequin, Calvin Klein Performance and Andrew Marc names.

Our business is dependent on, among other things, retailer and consumer demand for our products. We believe that economic conditions continue to negatively impact the level of consumer spending for discretionary items. The current uncertain economic environment has been characterized by 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 of operations.

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 geographic areas 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 have three reportable segments, licensed products, non-licensed products and retail operations. The licensed products segment includes sales of products under brands licensed by us from third parties. The non-licensed products segment includes sales of products under our own brands and private label brands. The retail operations segment consists primarily of our Wilsons and G.H. Bass stores, as well as a limited number of Andrew Marc stores and Calvin Klein Performance stores.

We have expanded our portfolio of proprietary and licensed brands through acquisitions and by entering into license agreements for new brands or for additional products under previously licensed brands. Our acquisitions 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.

The G.H. Bass business acquired in November 2013 adds a well-known heritage brand that developed the iconic original penny loafer (known as “Weejuns”). We sell G.H. Bass footwear, apparel and accessories primarily through G.H. Bass outlet stores located in the Unites States. This acquisition doubled the size of our retail footprint and is expected to enable us to leverage our Wilsons infrastructure to operate our Bass stores.

The Vilebrequin business acquired in August 2012 provides us with a premier brand, selling status products worldwide. Vilebrequin is a well-known brand and we expect to add more company owned and franchised retail locations and increase our wholesale distribution throughout the world, as well as develop the business beyond its heritage in men’s swimwear, resort wear and related accessories.

The sale of licensed products is a key element of our strategy and we have continually expanded our offerings of licensed products for the past 20 years. In December 2012, we entered into a license agreement covering a broad range of women’s apparel under the Ivanka Trump brand and, in April 2013, we entered into a license agreement for Calvin Klein men’s and women’s swimwear that became effective on December 1, 2013. We launched Ivanka Trump product in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and began shipping Calvin Klein swimwear for the Spring 2014 season. In November 2013, we expanded our relationship with Tommy Hilfiger to include a license for women’s outerwear. We expect to launch Tommy Hilfiger women’s outerwear for the Fall 2014 season. We have ten different license agreements relating to a variety of products sold under the Calvin Klein brand. In March 2014, the current term of each of these ten license agreements was extended to December 31, 2023.

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 can 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. It is our objective to continue to expand our product offerings and we are continually discussing new licensing opportunities with brand owners.

Our retail operations segment consists primarily of our Wilsons and G.H. Bass stores, substantially all of which are operated as outlet stores. As of April 30, 2014, we operated 168 Wilsons stores, 156 G.H. Bass stores and 72 Vilebrequin stores, as well as 5 Andrew Marc stores.

We have a license agreement granting us the retail rights to distribute and market Calvin Klein women’s performance apparel in the United States and China. We currently operate Calvin Klein Performance stores in Scottsdale, Arizona, San Francisco, California, and Las Vegas, Nevada. We have a joint venture agreement, with Finity Apparel Retail Limited to open and operate Calvin Klein Performance retail stores in mainland China and Hong Kong. As of April 30, 2014, we operated 25 stores pursuant to this joint venture. We own 51% of this joint venture and consolidate its results of operations in our financial statements.

Trends

Significant trends that affect the apparel industry include increases in raw material, manufacturing and transportation costs, the continued consolidation of retail chains and the desire on the part of retailers to consolidate vendors supplying them.

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 and exclusive merchandise. Exclusive brands are only made available to a 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 April 30, 2014 compared to three months ended April 30, 2013

Net sales for the three months ended April 30, 2014 increased to $366.2 million from $272.6 million in the same period last year. Net sales of licensed products increased to $216.7 million from $180.5 million primarily as a result of a $34.7 million increase in net sales of our Calvin Klein licensed products, with the largest increases occurring in the women’s sportswear ($17.3 million) and handbag ($7.9 million) categories. We also had net sales of $6.4 million from our new Calvin Klein women’s and men’s swimwear lines and from our new Ivanka Trump lines. Net sales of non-licensed products in the three months ended April 30, 2014 increased to $67.7 million from $60.7 million in the same period last year principally due to a $2.9 million increase in net sales by Vilebrequin and a $1.9 million increase in net sales from our Jessica Howard division. Net sales of our retail operations segment increased to $95.6 million for the three months ended April 30, 2014 from $45.3 million in April 30, 3013 primarily due to net sales of $44.2 million by our G.H. Bass business that was acquired in November 2013.

Gross profit increased to $130.2 million, or 35.5% of net sales, for the three months ended April 30, 2014, from $92.4 million, or 33.9% of net sales, in the same period last year. The gross profit percentage in our licensed products segment was 28.1% for the three months ended April 30, 2014 compared to 27.8% for the same period last year. The gross profit percentage in our non-licensed products segment was 35.8% for the three-month period ended April 30, 2014 compared to 31.6% for the same period last year. This increase was primarily attributable to improved gross margins in our Vilebrequin, Eliza J. and Jessica Howard divisions. The gross profit percentage in our retail operations segment was 47.0% for the three months ended April 30, 2014 compared to 50.9% for the comparable period last year. This decrease in gross profit percentage is primarily due to our new G.H. Bass business, which had a lower gross profit percentage than the rest of our retail business, as well as due to a decrease in the gross margins at Wilsons resulting from higher markdowns in the current year period.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $122.4 million, or 33.4% of net sales, in the three months ended April 30, 2014 from $85.8 million, or 31.6% of net sales, in the three months ended April 30, 2013. This increase is primarily a result of increases in personnel costs ($17.2 million), facility costs ($12.4 million) and advertising costs ($2.0 million). Personnel costs increased primarily as a result of the additional costs related to the newly acquired G.H. Bass business, as well as due to an increase in personnel to staff additional Wilsons’ retail stores. Facility costs increased as a result of the rent expense associated with the newly acquired G.H. Bass stores, as well as due to new leases entered into for additional Wilsons retail stores. Advertising costs increased due to an increase in net sales of licensed products, as well as due to advertising expenses related to our G.H. Bass business. We typically pay an advertising fee and are required to participate in customer cooperative advertising pursuant to many of our license agreements based on a percentage of net sales of licensed products.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $4.2 million in the three months ended April 30, 2014 from $3.1 million in the same period last year primarily as a result of fixturing costs associated with the opening of additional retail stores, as well as additional depreciation and amortization expense related to the G.H. Bass business.

Interest and financing charges, net, were $1.8 million for each of the three months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013.

Income tax expense was $668,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2014 compared to $633,000 for the same period last year. The effective tax rate was 38.0% for each of the three months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary operating cash requirements are to fund our seasonal buildup in inventories and accounts receivable, primarily during the second and third fiscal quarters each year. Due to the seasonality of our business, we generally reach our peak borrowings under our asset-based credit facility during our third fiscal quarter. The primary sources to meet our operating cash requirements have been borrowings under this credit facility and cash generated from operations.

On April 30, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $23.6 million and outstanding borrowings of $83.5 million. On April 30, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $20.6 million and outstanding borrowings of $95.3 million. The principal amount of the outstanding promissory notes issued in connection with the acquisition of Vilebrequin was €15.0 million which equaled $20.5 million on April 30, 2014 and $19.2 million on April 30, 2013 based on exchange rates in effect at those dates.

Our contingent liability under open letters of credit was approximately $25.6 million as of April 30, 2014 compared to $30.0 million as of April 30, 2013.

Credit Agreement

We have a five year senior secured credit facility through August 2017 with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent for a group of lenders providing for borrowings in the aggregate principal amount of up to $450 million. Amounts available under the credit agreement are subject to borrowing base formulas and over advances as specified in the credit agreement. Borrowings bear interest, at our option, at LIBOR plus a margin of 1.5% to 2.0% or prime plus a margin of 0.5% to 1.0%, with the applicable margin determined based on availability under the credit agreement. The credit agreement requires us to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined, and prohibited payments for cash dividends, stock redemptions and share repurchases until February 2014, after which such payments may be made subject to compliance with certain covenants. As of April 30, 2014, we were in compliance with these covenants.

The credit agreement is secured by all of the assets of G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. and its subsidiaries, G-III Leather Fashions, Inc., Riviera Sun, Inc., CK Outerwear, LLC, Andrew & Suzanne Company, Inc., AM Retail Group, Inc., G-III Apparel Canada ULC, G-III License Company, LLC and AM Apparel Holdings, Inc.

Amounts payable under our credit agreement were $63.0 million at April 30, 2014 compared to $76.1 million at April 30, 2013.

Cash from Operating Activities

We used $3.3 million of cash in operating activities during the three months ended April 30, 2014, primarily as a result of a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $50.8 million and an increase in prepaid income taxes of $9.7 million offset by a decrease of $37.0 million in inventory and $14.9 million in accounts receivable.

The changes in these operating cash flow items are generally consistent with our seasonal pattern. The decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses is primarily attributable to vendor payments related to inventory purchases and the payment of accrued year-end bonuses in our first fiscal quarter. Our inventory decreased because we experience lower sales levels in our first and second fiscal quarters than in our third and fourth fiscal quarters.

Cash from Investing Activities

We used $10.1 million of cash in investing activities in the three months ended April 30, 2014 for the expansion of Wilsons’ distribution center to accommodate the G.H. Bass business acquired in November 2013, the conversion of the G.H. Bass point of sale system, leasehold improvements for new Wilsons and Vilebrequin stores and fixturing costs at department stores.

Cash from Financing Activities

Cash from financing activities provided $15.1 million in the three months ended April 30, 2014, primarily as a result of a $14.1 million increase in our net borrowings under our credit agreement and a $4.3 million tax benefit from the exercise or vesting of equity awards offset by $4.3 million in taxes paid in connection with the net share settlement of certain exercised or vested equity awards. We increased our borrowings primarily to pay for purchases of inventory.

Financing Needs

We believe that our cash on hand and cash generated from operations, together with funds available under our credit agreement, are sufficient to meet our expected operating and capital expenditure requirements. We may seek to acquire other businesses in order to expand our product offerings. 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, 2014 are those that depend most heavily on these judgments and estimates. As of April 30, 2014, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies.

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, 2014.

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

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, 2014, 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.
