NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Movado Group, Inc. (the “Company”) in a manner consistent with that used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s fiscal 2011 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the aforementioned Annual Report. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

NOTE 1 – RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain reclassifications were made to prior year’s financial statement amounts and related note disclosures to conform to the fiscal 2012 presentation. In fiscal 2011, certain receivables were reclassified from accounts receivables to other current assets to conform to fiscal 2012 presentation. In addition, certain prior year financial statement amounts have been adjusted to reflect the Company’s change in inventory accounting discussed in Note 5.

NOTE 2 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels as follows:

•

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•

Level 2 - Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.

•

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions.

The guidance requires the use of observable market data if such data is available without undue cost and effort. The Company’s adoption of the guidance did not result in any changes to the accounting for its financial assets and liabilities. Therefore, the primary impact to the Company upon its adoption of this guidance was to expand its fair value measurement disclosures.

The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of July 31, 2011 (in thousands):


	Fair Value at July 31, 2011
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets:
Available-for-sale securities	$	314	$	—	$	—	$	314
SERP assets - employer		499		—		—		499
SERP assets - employee		15,153		—		—		15,153
Foreign currency derivatives		—		2,978		—		2,978

Total	$	15,966	$	2,978	$	—	$	18,944

Liabilities:
SERP liabilities - employee	$	15,153	$	—	$	—	$	15,153
Commodity derivatives		—		431		—		431

	$	15,153	$	431	$	—	$	15,584

The fair values of the Company’s available-for-sale securities are based on quoted prices. The commodity derivatives are entered into by the Company principally to reduce its exposure to the changing value of gold. Fair values of the Company’s commodity derivatives are calculated based on the quoted market price of gold. The foreign currency derivatives are entered into by the Company principally to reduce its exposure to the Swiss franc exchange rate risk. Fair values of the Company’s foreign currency derivatives are calculated based on quoted foreign exchange rates, quoted interest rates and market volatility factors. The assets related to the Company’s defined contribution supplemental executive retirement plan (“SERP”) consist of both employer (employee unvested) and employee assets which are invested in investment funds with fair values calculated based on quoted market prices. The SERP liability represents the Company’s liability to the employees in the plan for their vested balances.

NOTE 4 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company follows accounting guidance related to disclosures about segments of an enterprise and related information. This guidance requires disclosure of segment data based on how management makes decisions about allocating resources to segments and measuring their performance.

With the exception of Total Assets and Long-Lived Assets, the Retail segment and United States segment information presented below no longer include amounts related to the Movado boutiques, which were closed during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and subsequently reported as discontinued operations.

addition to revenue generated from after sales service activities and shipping. The Retail segment includes the Company’s outlet stores and the Movado brand flagship store located at Rockefeller Center in New York City.

The Company divides its business into two major geographic segments: United States operations, and International, which includes the results of all other Company operations. The allocation of geographic revenue is based upon the location of the customer. The Company’s international operations are principally conducted in Europe, Asia, Canada, the Middle East, South America and the Caribbean.

NOTE 5 – INVENTORIES

Effective February 1, 2011, the Company changed its method of valuing its U.S. inventories to the average cost method. In prior years, primarily all U.S. inventories were valued using first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. With this change, all of the Company’s inventories are valued using the average cost method. The Company believes that the average cost method of inventory valuation is preferable because (1) it permits the Company to use a single method of accounting for all of the Company’s U.S. and international inventories, (2) the method aligns costing with the Company’s forecasting and procurement decisions, and (3) since a number of the Company’s key competitors use the average cost method, it improves comparability of the Company’s financial statements. The comparative consolidated financial statements of prior periods presented have been adjusted to apply the new accounting method retroactively. The change in accounting principle was applied retroactively as described in the applicable accounting guidance for accounting changes and error corrections.

NOTE 6 – DEBT AND LINES OF CREDIT

On July 17, 2009, the Company, together with Movado Group Delaware Holdings Corporation, Movado Retail Group, Inc. and Movado LLC, each a wholly owned domestic subsidiary of the Company (together with the Company, the “Borrowers”), entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. and Bank Leumi USA, as lenders, and Bank of America, N.A., as agent (in such capacity, the “Agent”). The parties amended the Loan Agreement by entering into Amendment No. 1 thereto (the “First Amendment”) on April 5, 2011. The Loan Agreement, as amended, provides a $55.0 million asset based senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”), including a $15.0 million letter of credit subfacility. The maturity date of the Facility is July 17, 2012.

Availability under the Facility is determined by reference to a borrowing base which is based on the sum of a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory of the Borrowers. $10.0 million in availability is blocked until the date (the “Block Release Date”) on which the Borrowers have achieved for a four fiscal quarter period a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.25 to 1.0 and have domestic EBITDA greater than $10.0 million. The availability block must remain in place for at least one year. The amount of the availability block will be reduced by the amount by which the borrowing base exceeds $55.0 million, up to a maximum reduction of $5.0 million. Availability under the Facility may be further reduced by certain reserves established by the Agent in its good faith credit judgment. As of July 31, 2011, total availability under the Facility, giving effect to the availability block, no outstanding borrowings and the letters of credit outstanding under the subfacility, was $48.4 million.

The initial applicable margin for LIBOR rate loans was 4.25% and for base rate loans was 3.25%. After July 17, 2010, the applicable margins decreased or increased by 0.25% per annum from the initial applicable margins depending on whether average availability for the most recently completed fiscal quarter was either greater than $12.5 million, or was $5.0 million or less, respectively. Beginning with the third quarter of fiscal 2011, the applicable margin decreased to 4.00% for LIBOR loans and 3.00% for base rate loans. The First Amendment reduced the applicable margin for both LIBOR rate loans and base rate loans by 1.25%. Accordingly, as of July 31, 2011 and based on current availability, the applicable margins were 2.75% and 1.75% for LIBOR and base rate loans, respectively.

Prior to the Block Release Date, if borrowing availability is less than $10.0 million (which threshold may be reduced to the extent the borrowing base exceeds $55.0 million, up to a maximum $5.0 million reduction), the Borrowers will be subject to a minimum EBITDA covenant. After the Block Release Date, the Borrowers will be subject to a minimum EBITDA covenant if borrowing availability is less than $15.0 million. As of July 31, 2011, the Borrowers were not subject to the minimum EBITDA covenant.

In addition, after the Block Release Date, if borrowing availability is less than $15.0 million, the Borrowers will be subject to a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio.

The Borrowers’ deposit accounts will be subject to cash dominion prior to the Block Release Date if borrowing availability is less than $7.5 million, but such threshold may be reduced to the extent the borrowing base exceeds $55.0 million, up to a maximum $5.0 million reduction. After the Block Release Date, cash dominion will be imposed if borrowing availability is less than $15.0 million. As of July 31, 2011, the Borrowers were not subject to cash dominion nor do the Borrowers expect to be subject to such a requirement in the foreseeable future.

The Loan Agreement, as amended, contains additional affirmative and negative covenants binding on the Borrowers and their subsidiaries that are customary for asset based facilities, including, but not limited to, restrictions and limitations on the incurrence of debt for borrowed money and liens, dispositions of assets, capital expenditures, dividends and other payments in respect of equity interests, the making of loans and equity investments, prepayments of subordinated and certain other debt, mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, and transactions with affiliates. As amended, the Loan Agreement permits the Borrowers to pay dividends through July 17, 2012 in an aggregate amount not to exceed (a) $4.0 million during any four fiscal quarters or (b) $5.5 million during the entire period from February 1, 2011 through July 17, 2012, provided that no event of default has occurred and that, for the four fiscal quarter period most recently ended prior to the proposed dividend payment date, the Borrowers have achieved an adjusted consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.25 to 1.0 and have pro forma availability greater than $12.5 million. As of July 31, 2011, the Company believes it was in compliance with these financial covenants and had achieved the requisite adjusted consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio necessary to pay dividends. The Company presently expects that it will be able to pay dividends through the remaining term of the Facility.

The Loan Agreement, as amended, contains events of default that are customary for facilities of this type, including, but not limited to, nonpayment of principal, interest, fees and other amounts when due, failure of any representation or warranty to be true in any material respect when made or deemed made, violation of covenants, cross default, material judgments, material ERISA liability, bankruptcy events, material loss of collateral in excess of insured amounts, asserted or actual revocation or invalidity of the loan documents, change of control and events or circumstances having a material adverse effect. The borrowings under the Facility are joint and several obligations of the Borrowers and also cross-guaranteed by each Borrower. In addition, the Borrowers’ obligations under the Facility are secured by first priority liens, subject to permitted liens, on substantially all of the Borrowers’ U.S. assets (other than certain excluded assets).

A Swiss subsidiary of the Company maintains unsecured lines of credit with an unspecified length of time with a Swiss bank. As of July 31, 2011 and 2010, these lines of credit totaled 10.0 million Swiss francs for both periods, with dollar equivalents of $12.7 million and $9.6 million, respectively. As of July 31, 2011 and 2010, there were no borrowings against these lines. As of July 31, 2011, two European banks have guaranteed obligations to third parties on behalf of two of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries in the amount of $2.1 million in various foreign currencies.

NOTE 7 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company presents net income per share on a basic and diluted basis. Basic earnings per share are computed using weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding adjusted for dilutive common stock equivalents.

The weighted-average number of shares outstanding for basic earnings per share was 24,913,000 and 24,747,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. For the three months ended July 31, 2011, the number of shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share was increased by 272,000, due to potentially dilutive common stock equivalents issuable under the Company’s stock compensation plans. For the

three months ended July 31, 2010, the number of shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share was the same as the number outstanding for basic earnings per share because the Company generated a net loss.

For the three months ended July 31, 2011 and July 31, 2010, approximately 560,000 and 788,000 of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive.

The weighted-average number of shares outstanding for basic earnings per share was 24,894,000 and 24,709,000 for the six months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. For the six months ended July 31, 2011, the number of shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share was increased by 246,000, due to potentially dilutive common stock equivalents issuable under the Company’s stock compensation plans. For the six months ended July 31, 2010, the number of shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share was the same as the number outstanding for basic earnings per share because the Company generated a net loss.

For the six months ended July 31, 2011 and July 31, 2010, approximately 629,000 and 839,000 of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, respectively, were excluded from the computation of dilutive earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive.

NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

As of July 31, 2011, one bank in the domestic bank group had issued five irrevocable standby letters of credit for retail and operating facility leases to various landlords, for the administration of the Movado boutique private-label credit card and Canadian payroll to the Royal Bank of Canada. As of July 31, 2011, the Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $0.7 million with expiration dates through March 10, 2013.

As of July 31, 2011, two European banks have guaranteed obligations to third parties on behalf of two of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries in the amount of $2.1 million in various foreign currencies.

The Company is involved from time to time in legal claims involving trademarks and other intellectual property, contracts, employee relations and other matters incidental to the Company’s business. Although the outcome of such matters cannot be determined with certainty, the Company’s general counsel and management believe that the final outcome would not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES

The Company recorded a tax expense of $0.9 million and a tax expense of $0.4 million for the three months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three month period ended July 31, 2011 was 16.0%. The effective tax rate for the three month period ended July 31, 2010 was (13.2%) for continuing operations.

The Company recorded a tax expense of $1.6 million and a tax expense of $0.8 million for the six months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The effective tax rate for the six month period ended July 31, 2011 was 23.8%. The effective tax rate for the six month period ended July 31, 2010 was (9.2%) for continuing operations.

All periods include the effects of changes to the valuation allowances on net deferred tax assets and the application of accounting for income taxes in interim periods.

NOTE 10 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company accounts for its derivative financial instruments in accordance with guidance which requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial condition and measure those instruments at fair value. A significant portion of the Company’s purchases are denominated in Swiss francs. The Company reduces its exposure to the Swiss franc exchange rate risk through a hedging program. Under the hedging program, the Company manages most of its foreign currency exposures on a consolidated basis, which allows it to net certain exposures and take advantage of natural offsets. In the event these exposures do not offset, the Company uses various derivative financial instruments to further reduce the net exposures to currency fluctuations, predominately forward and option contracts. When entered into, the Company designates and documents these derivative instruments as a cash flow hedge of a specific underlying exposure, as well as the risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transactions. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated and documented as a cash flow hedge and is highly effective, are recorded in other comprehensive income until the underlying transaction affects earnings, and then are later reclassified into earnings in the same account as the hedged transaction. The Company formally assesses, both at the inception and at each financial quarter thereafter, the effectiveness of the derivative instrument hedging the underlying forecasted cash flow transaction. Any ineffectiveness related to the derivative financial instruments’ change in fair value will be recognized in the period in which the ineffectiveness was calculated.

The Company uses forward exchange contracts to offset its exposure to certain foreign currency receivables and liabilities. These forward contracts are not designated as qualified hedges and, therefore, changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recognized into earnings, thereby offsetting the current earnings effect of the related foreign currency receivables and liabilities.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year ended January 31, 2011, the Company concluded it would significantly reduce its offering of gold watches, as it relates to non-core gold inventory. The Company decided to melt the non-core gold inventory because the current salvage value of the gold was adequate and could be easily and quickly realized, while significant excessive time, effort and costs would be required to sell the gold watches. As a result, the Company entered into commodity futures contracts to offset its exposure to the fluctuating value of gold. These futures contracts are not designated as qualified hedges and, therefore, changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recognized into earnings, thereby offsetting the earnings effect of fluctuations in the sale price of gold.

All of the Company’s derivative instruments have liquid markets to assess fair value. The Company does not enter into any derivative instruments for trading purposes.

As of July 31, 2011, the Company’s entire net forward contracts hedging portfolio consisted of 24.0 million Swiss francs equivalent with various expiry dates ranging through November 18, 2011.

As of July 31, 2011, the Company’s entire commodity futures contracts hedging portfolio consisted of approximately 4,400 ounces of gold equivalent with various expiry dates ranging through November 30, 2011.

The following table summarizes the fair value and presentation in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for derivatives as of July 31, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands):


	Asset Derivatives					Liability Derivatives
	Balance	2011		2010		Balance	2011		2010
	Sheet	Fair		Fair		Sheet	Fair		Fair
	Location	Value		Value		Location	Value		Value
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments:
Foreign Exchange Contracts	Other Current Assets	$	—	$	1,667	Accrued Liabilities	$	—	$	—
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments:
Foreign Exchange Contracts	Other Current Assets	$	2,978	$	967	Accrued Liabilities	$	—	$	—
Commodity Future Contracts	Other Current Assets		—		—	Accrued Liabilities		431		—

Total Derivative Instruments		$	2,978	$	2,634		$	431	$	—

As of July 31, 2011, the balance of deferred net gains on derivative financial instruments documented as cash flow hedges included in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) was $0.8 million in net losses, net of tax of $1.0 million, compared to $0.5 million in net gains, net of tax of $1.0 million as of July 31, 2010. The Company estimates that a substantial portion of the deferred net gains as of July 31, 2011 will be realized into earnings over the next 12 months as a result of transactions that are expected to occur over that period. The Company’s sell through of inventory purchased in Swiss francs will primarily cause the amount in AOCI to affect cost of goods sold. The maximum length of time the Company hedges its exposure to the fluctuation in future cash flows for forecasted transactions is 24 months. For the three months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company reclassified from AOCI to earnings $0.3 million of net gains, net of tax of $0 and $0.2 million of net gains, net of tax of $0, respectively. For the six months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company reclassified from AOCI to earnings $0.6 million of net gains, net of tax of $0 and $0.3 million of net gains, net of tax of $0, respectively.

During the three and six months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded no charge related to its assessment of the effectiveness of its derivative hedge portfolio because of the high degree of effectiveness between the hedging instrument and the underlying exposure being hedged. Changes in the contracts’ fair value due to spot-forward differences are excluded from the designated hedge relationship. The Company records these transactions in the cost of sales of the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

NOTE 11 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The Company closed its Movado boutique division effective the second quarter of fiscal 2011. As a result of that action, the Company is reporting the Movado boutiques’ financial activity as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

The following is a summary of the operating results of the Company’s discontinued operations:

Movado Boutiques	$	8,168	$	17,703	$	17,703	$	14,252	$	23,675	$	23,675

For the three and six months ended July 31, 2010, the Company had no tax provision for its discontinued operations.

As a result of the Movado boutiques’ closing, the Company recorded $20.0 million of expenses primarily for occupancy charges, asset impairments, inventory write-downs and severance. The Company expects that the majority of the remaining liabilities will be paid during fiscal 2012.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. These estimates and assumptions also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Estimates by their nature are based on judgments and available information. Therefore, actual results could materially differ from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and the results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company’s most critical accounting policies have been discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011.

As of July 31, 2011, except as noted below, there have been no material changes to any of the critical accounting policies as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011.

Effective February 1, 2011, the Company changed its method of valuing its U.S. inventories to the average cost method. In prior years, primarily all U.S. inventories were valued using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. With this change, all of the Company’s inventories are now valued using the average cost method. The Company believes that the average cost method of inventory valuation is preferable because (1) it permits the Company to use a single method of accounting for all of the Company’s U.S. and international inventories, (2) the method aligns costing with the Company’s forecasting and procurement decisions, and (3) since a number of the Company’s key competitors use the average cost method, it improves comparability of the Company’s financial statements. The comparative consolidated financial statements of prior periods presented have been adjusted to apply the new accounting method retroactively. The change in accounting principle was applied retroactively as described in the applicable accounting guidance for accounting changes and error corrections.

Recent Developments

As announced on May 27, 2010, the Company’s subsidiary, Movado Retail Group, Inc., closed its Movado boutique division during the Company’s second quarter ended July 31, 2010. All of the Movado boutiques were located in the United States. The Company incurred a charge of approximately $20.0 million in connection with the closing of the boutiques. This charge was primarily comprised of occupancy charges, asset impairments, inventory write-downs and severance. Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the financial results of the boutiques are reported as discontinued operations and presented in a separate section on the face of the Consolidated Statements of Operations and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for all periods presented.

On April 5, 2011, the Company amended its Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated July 17, 2009, with Bank of America, N.A. and Bank Leumi USA to modify certain covenants related to the payment of dividends and to reflect more favorable current market rate conditions. As a result of the Company’s strong financial position, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) decided to reinstate a quarterly cash dividend subject, in each quarter, to the Board’s review of the Company’s financial performance and other factors as determined by the Board. The Company anticipates a total annualized dividend of $0.12 per share of common stock and class A common stock, or approximately $3 million based on the current number of outstanding shares. However, the decision of whether to declare any future cash dividend, including the amount of any such dividend and the establishment of record and payment dates, will be determined, in each quarter, by the Board, in its sole discretion.

Overview

The Company conducts its business primarily in two operating segments: Wholesale and Retail. The Company’s Wholesale segment includes the designing, manufacturing and distribution of quality watches. The Retail segment includes the Company’s outlet stores and the Movado brand flagship store. The Company also operates in two major geographic segments: United States and International.

Net sales for the three months ended July 31, 2011 were $113.2 million, above prior year by $27.8 million or 32.6%. For the three months ended July 31, 2011, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted net sales by $6.1 million when compared to the prior year period.

Net sales for the three months ended July 31, 2011 in the wholesale segment were $99.3 million, above the prior year period by $27.3 million or 37.9%. The increase in wholesale net sales was driven by growth in both the U.S. and the international segments.

Net sales for the three months ended July 31, 2011 in the U.S. wholesale segment were $46.6 million, above the prior year period by $16.5 million or 55.1%, driven by sales increases in both the accessible luxury and licensed brand categories. Net sales in the accessible luxury category were above prior year by $10.3 million or 59.8%, primarily due to strong sell-through in the Company’s distribution channels, resulting from product innovation, such as Movado Bold, and the increased focus and spending on marketing and advertising. Net sales in the licensed brand category were above the prior year period by $6.0 million or 57.3%, primarily due to increased demand driven by innovative product designs at key price points that are resonating well with customers. Net sales in the luxury category were relatively flat year-over-year.

Net sales for the three months ended July 31, 2011 in the international wholesale segment were $52.8 million, above the prior year period by $10.7 million or 25.5%, with increases recorded in all watch brand categories. Net sales in the licensed brands category were above the prior year period by $7.1 million or 30.5%, primarily due to growth in existing markets resulting from higher demand. Net sales in the luxury category were above the prior year period by $2.2 million, or 24.9%, primarily as the result of sales of select non-core gold watch offerings of the category. Net sales in the accessible luxury category were above the prior year period by $0.4 million, or 5.6%, primarily driven by higher sales in China. For the three months ended July 31, 2011, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted net sales by $6.1 million when compared to the prior year period.

Net sales for the three months ended July 31, 2011 in the retail segment were $13.9 million, above the prior year period by $0.6 million or 4.2%. The increase in sales was attributable to an increase in the number of stores operated when compared to the prior year. As of July 31, 2011, the Company operated 33 outlet stores and the Movado brand flagship store.

Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended July 31, 2011 was $60.9 million or 53.8% of net sales as compared to $44.4 million or 52.0% of net sales for the three months ended July 31, 2010. The increase in gross profit of $16.5 million was primarily due to higher net sales and, to a lesser extent, the higher gross margin percentage achieved. The gross margin percentage for the three months ended July 31, 2011 was favorably impacted by approximately 220 basis points due to a shift in channel and product mix. The gross margin percentage for the three months ended July 31, 2011 was also favorably impacted by approximately 100 basis points resulting from leverage gained on certain fixed costs due to the increase in sales volume year-over-year. When compared to the prior year period, the gross margin for the three months ended July 31, 2011 was unfavorably impacted by approximately 120 basis points due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Additionally, the gross margin for the three months ended July 31, 2011 was unfavorably impacted by approximately 40 basis points resulting from sales in the current period of excess watch movements as part of the Company’s inventory reduction initiative.

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”). SG&A expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2011 were $55.9 million, representing an increase of $9.3 million or 20.0%. The increase in SG&A expense includes higher marketing expense of $2.8 million resulting from expenses associated with the Company’s decision to increase spending in this area to drive sales growth. Additionally, higher compensation and benefit expense of $3.0 million was recorded during the current year period resulting from salary increases, the reinstatement of certain employee benefits and performance-based compensation. The effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates unfavorably impacted SG&A expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2011 by $3.1 million, of which $2.7 million was the result of increases from the translation of foreign subsidiary results and $0.4 million was the result of higher transactional losses recorded year-over-year related to foreign denominated assets held in weakening currencies.

Wholesale Operating Income / (Loss). Operating income of $2.7 million was recorded in the wholesale segment for the three months ended July 31, 2011, compared to an operating loss of $4.7 million recorded for the three months ended July 31, 2010. The $7.4 million increase in operating income was the net result of an increase in gross profit of $16.1 million, partially offset by an increase in SG&A expenses of $8.7 million. The increase in gross profit of $16.1 million was primarily attributed to higher net sales, and to a lesser extent, a higher gross margin percentage achieved year-over-year. The increase in SG&A expenses of $8.7 million was driven by higher marketing expenses of $2.8 million, higher compensation and benefit expenses of $2.6 million, as well as the unfavorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations of $3.1 million when compared to the prior year period.

Retail Operating Income. Operating income of $2.3 million and $2.5 million was recorded in the retail segment for the three months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The $0.2 million decrease in operating income was the net result of an increase in gross profit of $0.5 million, more than offset by an increase in SG&A expenses of $0.7 million. The increase in gross profit of $0.5 million was primarily attributed to the increase in sales volume year-over-year and, to a lesser extent, a higher gross margin percentage achieved. The increase in SG&A expenses of $0.7 million was primarily due to expenses for stores that were not open in the prior year period.

Other Income. The Company recorded other income of $0.7 million for the three months ended July 31, 2011 resulting from the pre-tax gain on the sale of a building.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended July 31, 2011 was $0.3 million which primarily consisted of the amortization of deferred financing costs. Interest expense for the three months ended July 31, 2010 was $0.7 million which primarily consisted of amortization of deferred financing costs, as well as interest on outstanding borrowings under the Company’s credit facility. For the three months ended July 31, 2011, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its credit facility.

Interest Income. Interest income for both three month periods ended July 31, 2011 and 2010 was immaterial.

Income Taxes. The Company recorded a tax expense of $0.9 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three month period ended July 31, 2011 was 16.0%. The effective tax rate for the three month period ended July 31, 2010 was (13.2%) for continuing operations. The effective tax rates for both periods include changes to valuation allowances on net deferred tax assets and the application of accounting for income taxes in interim periods.

Loss From Discontinued Operations. The Company records the financial results of its Movado boutique division as discontinued operations, which ceased doing business during the quarter ended July 31, 2010. For the three months ended July 31, 2010, the Company recorded a loss from discontinued operations of $17.7 million.

Net Income / (Loss) Attributed to Movado Group, Inc. For the three months ended July 31, 2011, the Company recorded net income of $4.4 million, as compared to a net loss of $20.9 million recorded for the three months ended July 31, 2010.

Additionally, prior year sales in the accessible luxury category were negatively impacted by the Company’s decision to limit sales to customers the Company believed to have heightened credit risk. Net sales in the licensed brand category were above the prior year period by $7.6 million or 38.1%, primarily due to increased demand driven by innovative product designs at key price points that are resonating well with customers.

The increase in gross profit of $26.7 million was primarily due to higher net sales and, to a lesser extent, the higher gross margin percentage achieved. The gross margin percentage for the six months ended July 31, 2011 was favorably impacted by approximately 110 basis points resulting from leverage gained on certain fixed costs due to the increase in sales volume year-over-year. The gross margin percentage for the six months ended July 31, 2011 was also favorably impacted by approximately 60 basis points due to a shift in channel and product mix. Additionally, the gross margin for the six months ended July 31, 2011 was unfavorably impacted by approximately 20 basis points resulting from sales in the current period of excess watch movements as part of the Company’s inventory reduction initiative.

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”). SG&A expenses for the six months ended July 31, 2011 were $103.0 million, representing an increase of $12.7 million or 14.1%.

The effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates unfavorably impacted SG&A expenses for the six months ended July 31, 2011 by $3.6 million, of which $4.0 million was the result of increases from the translation of foreign subsidiary results, partially offset by lower transactional losses recorded year-over-year of $0.4 million related to foreign denominated assets held in weakening currencies.

Wholesale Operating Income / (Loss). Operating income of $3.7 million was recorded in the wholesale segment for the six months ended July 31, 2011, compared to an operating loss of $10.4 million recorded for the six months ended July 31, 2010.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash provided by operating activities was $12.4 million for the six months ended July 31, 2011 compared to cash used of $12.7 million for the six months ended July 31, 2010. Cash provided by operating activities of $12.4 million for the fiscal 2012 period was primarily the result of net income for the period of $5.1 million and favorable non-cash items of $6.1 million. Cash used in operating activities for the fiscal 2011 period was $12.7 million, resulting from cash used in continuing operations of $1.9 million and cash used of $10.8 million attributed to discontinued operations related to the Movado boutiques. The cash used in continuing operating activities of $1.9 million for the fiscal 2011 period was primarily the result of the loss from continuing operations for the period of $9.4 million, partially offset by favorable non-cash items of $7.2 million.

Cash used in investing activities amounted to $2.1 million for the six months ended July 31, 2011 compared to cash used of $3.4 million for the six months ended July 31, 2010. The cash used during both periods consisted of capital expenditures which included integration of computer hardware and software in conjunction with the SAP enterprise resource planning system, as well as spending for tooling and design. For the six months ended July 31, 2011, the cash used in investing activities of $2.1 million also included proceeds from a sale of an asset held for sale of $1.2 million.

Cash used in financing activities amounted to $1.4 million for the six months ended July 31, 2011 compared to cash provided by financing activities of $0.3 million for the six months ended July 31, 2010. Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended July 31, 2011 was primarily to pay dividends. Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended July 31, 2010 was the result of stock option exercises for the quarter.

On July 17, 2009, the Company, together with Movado Group Delaware Holdings Corporation, Movado Retail Group, Inc. and Movado LLC each a wholly owned domestic subsidiary of the Company (together with the Company, the “Borrowers”), entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. and Bank Leumi USA, as lenders, and Bank of America, N.A., as agent (in such capacity, the “Agent”). The parties amended the Loan Agreement by entering into Amendment No. 1 thereto (the “First Amendment”) on April 5, 2011. The Loan Agreement, as amended, provides a $55.0

million asset based senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”), including a $15.0 million letter of credit subfacility. The maturity date of the Facility is July 17, 2012.

In addition, after the Block Release Date, if borrowing availability is less than $15.0 million, the Borrowers will be subject to a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio.

consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio necessary to pay dividends. The Company presently expects that it will be able to pay dividends through the remaining term of the Facility.

As a result of the Company’s strong financial position, the Board decided to reinstate a quarterly cash dividend subject, in each quarter, to the Board’s review of the Company’s financial performance and other factors as determined by the Board. The Company anticipates a total annualized dividend of $0.12 per share of common stock and class A common stock, or approximately $3 million based on the current number of outstanding shares. In April 2009, considering the economic environment at that time, the Board discontinued the payment of cash dividends in order to retain additional capital.

The Company paid dividends of $0.06 per share or approximately $1.5 million, for the six months ended July 31, 2011. No cash dividend was paid for the six months ended July 31, 2010.

On April 15, 2008, the Board authorized a program to repurchase up to one million shares of the Company’s common stock. Under this authorization, the Company has the option to repurchase shares over time, with the amount and timing of repurchases depending on market conditions and corporate needs. The Company may suspend or discontinue the repurchase of stock at any time. Under this share repurchase program, the Company had repurchased a total of 937,360 shares of common stock in the open market during the first and second quarters of fiscal 2009 at a total cost of approximately $19.5 million or $20.79 average per share. During the six months ended July 31, 2011, the Company did not repurchase shares of common stock under this program.

Cash at July 31, 2011 amounted to $128.8 million compared to $54.3 million at July 31, 2010. The increase in cash is primarily the result of cash provided by operations.

Management believes that the cash on hand in addition to the expected cash flow from operations and the Company’s short-term borrowing capacity will be sufficient to meet its working capital needs for at least the next twelve months.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have off-balance sheet financing or unconsolidated special-purpose entities.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company’s primary market risk exposure relates to foreign currency exchange risk. A significant portion of the Company’s purchases are denominated in Swiss francs. The Company reduces its exposure to the Swiss franc exchange rate risk through a hedging program. Under the hedging program, the Company manages most of its foreign currency exposures on a consolidated basis, which allows it to net certain exposures and take advantage of natural offsets. In the event these exposures do not offset, the Company uses various derivative financial instruments to further reduce the net exposures to currency fluctuations, predominately forward and option contracts. When entered into, the Company designates and documents these derivative instruments as a cash flow hedge of a specific underlying exposure, as well as the risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transactions. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated and documented as a cash flow hedge and is highly effective, are recorded in other comprehensive income until the underlying transaction affects earnings, and then are later reclassified into earnings in the same account as the hedged transaction. The earnings impact is partially offset by the effects of currency movements on the underlying hedged transactions. If the Company does not engage in a hedging program, any change in the Swiss franc to local currency would have an equal effect on the Company’s cost of sales.

The Company uses forward exchange contracts to offset its exposure to certain foreign currency liabilities. These forward contracts are not designated as qualified hedges and, therefore, changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recognized into earnings, thereby offsetting the current earnings effect of the related foreign currency liabilities.

As of July 31, 2011, the Company’s entire net forward contracts hedging portfolio consisted of 24.0 million Swiss francs equivalent with various expiry dates ranging through November 18, 2011 compared to a portfolio of 58.0 million Swiss francs equivalent for various expiry dates ranging through January 27, 2011 as of July 31, 2010. If the Company were to settle its Swiss franc forward contracts at July 31, 2011, the net result would be a gain of $1.8 million, net of tax of $1.1 million. The Company had no Swiss franc option contracts related to cash flow hedges as of July 31, 2011 and 2010.

The Board authorized the hedging of the Company’s Swiss franc denominated investment in its wholly-owned Swiss subsidiaries using purchase options under certain limitations. These hedges are treated as net investment hedges under the relevant accounting guidance regarding derivative instruments. As of July 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not hold a purchased option hedge portfolio related to net investment hedging.

Commodity Risk

The Company considers its exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices to be primarily related to gold used in the manufacturing of the Company’s watches. Under its hedging program, the Company can purchase various commodity derivative instruments, primarily future contracts. These derivatives are documented as qualified cash flow hedges, and gains and losses on these derivative instruments are first reflected in other comprehensive income, and later reclassified into earnings, partially offset by the effects of gold market price changes on the underlying actual gold purchases. The Company did not hold any future contracts in its gold hedge portfolio related to cash flow hedges as of July 31, 2011 and 2010, thus any changes in the gold price will have an equal effect on the Company’s cost of sales.

As a result, the Company entered into commodity futures contracts to offset its exposure to the fluctuating value of gold. These futures contracts are not designated as qualified hedges and, therefore, changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recognized into earnings, thereby offsetting the earnings effect of fluctuations in the sale price of gold.

As of July 31, 2011, the Company’s commodity futures contracts consisted of approximately 4,400 ounces of gold equivalent with various expiry dates ranging through November 30, 2011 compared to no commodities futures contracts as of July 31, 2010. If the Company were to settle its commodity future contracts at July 31, 2011, the net result would be a loss of $0.3 million, net of tax benefit of $0.1 million.

Debt and Interest Rate Risk

The Company has the capability to have certain debt obligations with variable interest rates, which are based on LIBOR plus a fixed additional interest rate. The Company does not hedge these interest rate risks. As of July 31, 2011, the Company had no outstanding debt. For additional information concerning potential changes to future interest obligations, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level. However, it should be noted that a control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met and may not prevent all errors or instances of fraud.

The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as such terms are defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act, as amended. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the six months ended July 31, 2011, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On April 15, 2008, the Board authorized a program to repurchase up to one million shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Under this authorization, the Company has the option to repurchase shares over time, with the amount and timing of repurchases depending on market conditions and corporate needs. The Company may suspend or discontinue the repurchase of stock at any time. Under this share repurchase program, the Company had repurchased a total of 937,360 shares of Common Stock in the open market during the first and second quarters of fiscal year 2009 at a total cost of approximately $19.5 million or $20.79 per share. During the six months ended July 31, 2011, the Company has not repurchased shares of Common Stock under this program.

An aggregate of 13,388 shares have been repurchased during the six months ended July 31, 2011 as a result of the surrender of shares in connection with the vesting of certain restricted stock awards. At the election of an employee, shares having an aggregate value on the vesting date equal to the employee’s withholding tax obligation may be surrendered to the Company.
