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 ended January 31, 2007 is referred to as ‘‘fiscal 2007’’.
The following presentation of management’s discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, the accompanying notes and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Report.
Overview
G-III designs, manufactures, imports and markets an extensive range of outerwear and sportswear, including coats, jackets, pants, skirts, suits, dresses and other sportswear items under licensed labels, our own proprietary labels and private retail labels. Our products are distributed through a broad mix of retail partners at a variety of price points. The concentration of sales to our largest customers has increased over the past few years. Sales to our ten largest customers were 60.7% of our net sales in fiscal 2006 and 61.0% of our net sales in fiscal 2007.
We operate in fashion markets that are intensely competitive. Our ability to continuously evaluate and respond to changing consumer demands and tastes, across multiple market segments, distribution channels and geographies, is critical to our success. Although our portfolio of brands is aimed at diversifying our risks in this regard, misjudging shifts in consumer preferences could have a negative effect on our business. Our success in the future will depend on our ability to design products that are accepted in the markets we serve, source the manufacture of our products on a competitive basis, particularly in light of the impact of the elimination of quota for apparel products, and continue to diversify our product portfolio and the markets we serve.
We operate our business in two segments, licensed apparel and non-licensed apparel. The licensed apparel segment includes sales of apparel brands licensed by us from third parties. The non-licensed apparel segment includes sales of apparel under our own brands and private label brands.
The sale of licensed product has been a key element of our business strategy for many years. As part of this strategy, we added several new fashion and sports apparel licenses over the past few years. 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 wider array of products and at a variety of price points. The sale of licensed product accounted for 63.0% of our net sales in fiscal 2007 compared to 60.8% of our net sales in fiscal 2006 and 63.6% of our net sales in fiscal 2005.
On July 11, 2005, we acquired the business of Marvin Richards. Marvin Richards has been an outerwear manufacturer and supplier for over 20 years under the Marvin Richards brand name. As a result of this acquisition, we have licenses under the Calvin Klein and ck Calvin Klein brand names. Marvin Richards also conducts a variety of private label programs.
On July 11, 2005, we also acquired specified operating assets of Winlit Group, Ltd. Winlit has been a supplier of outerwear for over 35 years. As a result of acquiring Winlit’s assets, we have licenses for
21
Table of Contentsmen’s and women’s outerwear under the Guess? brand, leather outerwear under the Tommy Hilfiger brand, and ladies outerwear under the Ellen Tracy brand. Winlit also sells apparel under the Winlit, LNR, and NY 10018 owned names and through private label programs.
The operating results of Marvin Richards and Winlit, which we acquired on July 11, 2005, have been included in our financial statements since the date of acquisition. Marvin Richards and Winlit are in the wholesale outerwear business and are subject to the same seasonality that we are. Our results for the first three quarters of fiscal 2006 and for the full 2006 fiscal year exclude the seasonal losses that were incurred by the acquired companies in the first half of fiscal 2006. Results for fiscal 2007 include the operations of the acquired companies for the entire year, as well as interest expense and amortization expense for the entire year relating to the acquisitions.
These acquisitions are consistent with our strategy to increase the portfolio of brands that we offer through different tiers of retail distribution, for a wider array of products and at a variety of price points. Both transactions have complemented our existing group of licensed brands, G-III owned labels and private label programs.
We continue to believe that brand owners will look to consolidate the number of licensees they engage to develop product and they will continue to look for licensees with a successful track record of developing brands. We are continually having discussions with licensors regarding new opportunities. It is our objective to continue to expand our product offerings. As a result of our acquisition of Marvin Richards, we have licenses for men’s and women’s outerwear with Calvin Klein. In September 2005, we entered into a license agreement to manufacture and distribute women’s better suits under the Calvin Klein label and in April 2006, we entered into a license agreement to manufacture and distribute women’s dresses under the Calvin Klein label. We began shipping the women’s suit line in January 2006.
We have had a license agreement with Sean John for men’s outerwear for over five years. In March 2006, we added license agreements to manufacture women’s sportswear and outerwear under Sean John labels. We began shipping Sean John women’s outerwear in October, 2006 and expect to launch the Sean John sportswear line for Fall 2007. We also design and produce a line of urban sportswear for Wal-Mart under their Exsto label, which began shipping during the second quarter of fiscal 2007.
Significant trends that are affecting the apparel industry include the continuing consolidation of retail chains, the desire on the part of retailers to consolidate vendors supplying them, the increased focus by department stores on their own private label brands and a shift in consumer shopping preferences away from traditional department stores to other mid-tier and specialty store venues. There has also been significant downward pressure on average retail prices for many categories of apparel. We have responded 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 believe that our broad distribution capabilities help us to respond to the various shifts by consumers between distribution channels. We also believe that our operational capabilities will enable us to continue to be a vendor of choice for our retail partners.
Use of Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant accounting policies employed by us, including the use of estimates, are presented in the notes to our consolidated financial statements.
Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and our 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. Our most critical accounting estimates, discussed below, pertain to revenue recognition, accounts receivable, inventories, income taxes, goodwill and intangible assets and stock-based compensation. In determining these estimates, management must use amounts that are based upon its informed judgments and best estimates. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those
22
Table of Contentsrelated to customer allowances and discounts, product returns, bad debts and inventories, and carrying values of intangible assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The results of these estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize a sale at the time merchandise is shipped to the customer. We also act as an agent in brokering sales between our customers and overseas factories. On these transactions, we recognize commission fee income on the sales that are financed by and shipped directly to our customers. This income is also recorded at the time the merchandise is shipped. Net sales take into account reserves for returns and allowances. We estimate the amount of reserves and allowances based on current and historical information and trends. Sales are reported net of returns, discounts and allowances. Discounts, allowances and estimates of future returns are recognized when the related revenues are recognized.
Accounts Receivable
In the normal course of business, we extend credit to our customers based on pre-defined credit criteria. Accounts receivable, as shown on our consolidated balance sheet, are net of allowances and anticipated discounts. In circumstances where we are aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligation (such as in the case of bankruptcy filings or substantial downgrading of credit sources), a specific reserve for bad debts is recorded against amounts due to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount reasonably expected to be collected. For all other customers, an allowance for doubtful accounts is determined through analysis of the aging of accounts receivable at the date of the financial statements, assessments of collectability based on historical trends and an evaluation of the impact of economic conditions.
An allowance for discounts is based on reviews of open invoices where concessions have been extended to customers. Costs associated with allowable deductions for customer advertising expenses are charged to advertising expenses in the selling, general and administrative section of our consolidated statements of income. Costs associated with markdowns and other operational charge backs, net of historical recoveries, are included as a reduction of net sales. All of these are part of the allowances included in accounts receivable. We reserve against known charge backs, as well as for an estimate of potential future deductions by customers. These provisions result from seasonal negotiations with our customers as well as historical deduction trends, net of historical recoveries and the evaluation of current market conditions.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at lower of cost (determined by the first-in, first-out method) or market. We continually evaluate the composition of our inventories, assessing slow-turning, ongoing product as well as fashion product from prior seasons. The market value of distressed inventory is based on historical sales trends of our individual product lines, the impact of market trends and economic conditions, and the value of current orders for this type of inventory.
Income Taxes
As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating our actual current tax exposure, together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within our consolidated balance sheet.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
On July 11, 2005, we acquired Marvin Richards and specified operating assets of Winlit. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite life be tested for impairment at least
23
Table of Contentsannually. Goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite life are required to be written down when impaired, rather than amortized as previous accounting standards required. Goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite life are tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying value. Fair value is generally determined using discounted cash flows, market multiples and market capitalization. Significant estimates used in the fair value methodologies include estimates of future cash flows, future short-term and long-term growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and estimates of market multiples of the reportable unit. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record impairment charges for our goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite life.
The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill is subjective and requires significant judgment at many points during the analysis. In estimating the fair value of a reporting unit for the purposes of our annual or periodic analyses, we make estimates and judgments about the future cash flows of that reporting unit. Although our cash flow forecasts are based on assumptions that are consistent with our plans and estimates we are using to manage the underlying businesses, there is significant exercise of judgment involved in determining the cash flows attributable to a reporting unit over its estimated remaining useful life. In addition, we make certain judgments about allocating shared assets to the estimated balance sheets of our reporting units. We also consider our and our competitor’s market capitalization on the date we perform the analysis. Changes in judgment on these assumptions and estimates could result in a goodwill impairment char ge.
We allocated the purchase price of the companies we acquired in fiscal 2006 to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their estimate fair values. These valuations require management to make significant estimations and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. The amount allocated to goodwill was increased with respect to each of fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2007 as a result of additional payments made based on the performance of these companies.
Critical estimates in valuing intangible assets include future expected cash flows from license agreements, trade names and customer relations. In addition, other factors considered are the brand awareness and market position of the products sold by the acquired companies and assumptions about the period of time the brand will continue to be used in the combined company’s product portfolio. Management’s estimates of fair value are based on assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable.
If we did not appropriately allocate these components or we incorrectly estimate the useful lives of these components, our computation of depreciation and amortization expense may not appropriately reflect the actual impact of these costs over future periods, which will affect our net income.
Stock-based Compensation
Effective February 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, ‘‘Share Based Payment’’ (‘‘SFAS 123R’’). We elected to use the modified prospective transition method; therefore, prior period results were not restated. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, stock-based compensation expense related to stock options was not recognized in our results of operations if the exercise price was at least equal to the market value of our common stock on the grant date. As a result, the recognition of stock-based compensation expense in prior periods was generally limited to the expense attributed to restricted stock awards.
SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized as compensation expense over the service period (generally the vesting period) in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values. We utilize the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock-based compensation at the date of grant. The Black-Scholes model requires subjective assumptions regarding dividend yields, expected volatility, expected life of options and risk-free interest rates. These assumptions reflect management’s best estimates. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the estimate of fair value and the amount of our stock-based compensation expenses. We recognized approximately $425,000 of stock-based compensation expense in fiscal 2007. As of February 1, 2007, there was approximately $1.2 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expe nse related to non-vested stock-based compensation granted by us. These expenses are expected to be recognized by us through January 31, 2013.

Results of Operations
Year ended January 31, 2007 (‘‘fiscal 2007’’) compared to year ended January 31, 2006 (‘‘fiscal 2006’’)
Net sales for fiscal 2007 increased to $427.0 million from $324.1 million in the prior year. Net sales of licensed apparel increased to $268.9 million from $197.0 million as a result of increases of $46.4 million in net sales of Calvin Klein licensed product, including outerwear and the addition of suits and dresses, $10.2 million in net sales of our sports apparel division, $10.2 million of net sales of Kenneth Cole licensed product and $5.9 million in net sales of Guess? licensed product. Net sales of non-licensed apparel increased to $158.1 million from $127.1 million, primarily due to increases in new and existing private label programs.
Gross profit increased to $115.5 million, or 27.1% of net sales, for fiscal 2007, from $84.8 million, or 26.2% of net sales, in the prior year. The gross profit percentage in our licensed apparel segment was 29.4% in fiscal 2007 compared to 27.9% in the prior year. Sales of Kenneth Cole outerwear, Calvin Klein licensed products, including outerwear, suits and dresses, and sports apparel accounted for the increase in both margin dollars and gross profit as a percentage of sales in our licensed apparel segment. The improved gross profit percentage is primarily a result of more retail sales of our product being at or close to full price resulting in lower markdown allowances being granted by us, as well as increased sales of Calvin Klein product which generally has higher average gross margins than our other licensed product. In fiscal 2007, the gross profit percentage in our non-licensed segment was 23.1% compared to a gross profit percentage of 23.5% in the prior year. The gross profit percentage in our non-licensed segment decreased as a result of a decrease in commission fee income offset, in part, by higher margin sales in our private label business due to product mix. Commission fee income in our non-licensed segment, which has no cost of goods sold component, was approximately $690,000 in the current year compared to $2.2 million in the prior year.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $19.8 million to $87.7 million in fiscal 2007 from $67.9 million in the prior year. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased primarily as a result of increases in personnel costs ($6.7 million), advertising and promotion ($4.8 million), facility costs ($3.3 million) and depreciation and amortization ($1.3 million). Personnel and facility costs increased primarily due to costs related to the businesses we acquired in July 2005, which were included for a full year in fiscal 2007 compared to approximately a half the year in fiscal 2006, as well as an increase in management bonuses. In addition, there were increases in personnel costs with respect to the staffing of our new initiatives, including Calvin Klein women’s suits and dresses, Sean John women’s sportswear and Exsto. Facility costs also increased as a result of the use of third party wareh ouses to accommodate increased shipping volume and additional space leased in our Secaucus warehouse facility that was added in August 2005. Advertising and promotion increased primarily due to national and co-operative
25
Table of Contentsadvertising required under the license agreements we added as a result of our acquisitions, as well as additional licenses we have entered into. The amount of advertising required is generally based on a percentage of net sales of licensed product. Depreciation and amortization expense increased as a result of the amortization of the identifiable intangibles we acquired in July 2005. A full year of amortization was included in fiscal 2007 compared to approximately a half year of amortization in fiscal 2006.
Interest and finance charges, net, for fiscal 2007 were $6.4 million compared to $4.3 million for the prior year. Interest expense increased primarily as a result of debt incurred in connection with the acquisitions and, to a lesser extent, due to an increase in interest rates.
Income tax expense for fiscal 2007 was $8.3 million compared to $5.5 million in the prior year. The effective rate for the current year was 38.6% compared to 43.8% for the prior year. The effective tax rate in the current year was lower because income tax expense in the current year includes the reversal of tax reserves of approximately $950,000 as a result of the completion of a Federal income tax audit.
Year ended January 31, 2006 (‘‘fiscal 2006’’) compared to year ended January 31, 2005 (‘‘fiscal 2005’’)
Net sales for fiscal 2006 increased by $109.8 million to $324.1 million from $214.3 million in the prior year. Net sales from our new Marvin Richards and Winlit divisions accounted for $99.5 million of this increase. Net sales of licensed apparel increased $60.7 million to $197.0 million from $136.3 million in the prior year. The increase was primarily a result of sales of $47.2 million of licensed apparel by our two new divisions. Sales under new licenses for Kenneth Cole Men’s and IZOD ($11.7 million) and an increase in our sports licensing division ($8.2 million) were partially offset by a decrease in sales in our fashion sports apparel business ($8.8 million). Net sales of non-licensed apparel increased $49.1 million to $127.1 million from $78.0 million in the prior year. This increase was the result of sales of non-licensed apparel of $52.5 million by our new Marvin Richards an d Winlit divisions offset, in part by decreases in sales of non-licensed apparel under our pre-existing owned labels and private label programs.
Gross profit increased $32.1 million to $84.8 million, or 26.2% of net sales, for fiscal 2006 from $52.7 million, or 24.6% of net sales, for the prior year. Gross profit from our two new divisions accounted for $28.6 million of this increase. The gross profit percentage of our licensed apparel segment increased to 27.9% ($55.0 million) in fiscal 2006 from 25.1% ($35.1 million) in the prior year. The gross profit percentage in our licensed apparel increased primarily due to the higher gross margins in connection with sales in our new Calvin Klein division and improved gross margins in our Cole Haan and Sean John divisions. In addition, we had commission fee income of $843,000 in our licensed apparel segment. There was no commission fee income in this segment in last year’s comparable period. There is no cost of goods sold component associated with these commission transactions. The gross profit percentage in our non-licensed ap parel segment increased to 23.5% ($29.8 million) during fiscal 2006 compared to 22.6% ($17.6 million) in the prior year due to higher gross margins in connection with sales of non-licensed apparel in our two new divisions offset by a decrease in commission fee income. Commission fee income in the non-licensed apparel segment decreased to $2.1 million during fiscal 2006 from $2.2 million in the comparable period of the prior year.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2006 were $67.9 million compared to $48.8 million for the prior year. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased primarily as a result of increases in personnel costs ($9.7 million), advertising and promotion ($3.0 million), facility costs ($2.2 million) and depreciation and amortization ($1.8 million). Personnel costs increased due to the additional personnel from the acquired businesses and an increase in management bonuses, as well as a non-cash compensation charge of $1.6 million incurred as a result of the vesting of 141,000 shares of restricted stock granted to key management. Advertising and promotion increased due to contractual advertising under the licenses that we added as a result of the acquisitions and contractual advertising under our existing license agreements. Facility costs increased primarily as a result of the additional rent under leases a ssumed in connection with the acquisitions. Amortization expense increased as a result of the amortization of the identifiable intangibles of Marvin Richards and Winlit that we acquired.
26
Table of ContentsInterest and finance charges, net were $4.3 million for fiscal 2006 compared to $1.1 million in the prior year. Interest expense increased primarily due to the additional debt incurred to finance the cash portion of the purchase price of our two acquisitions and the write-off of deferred costs associated with our prior credit agreement that was terminated, as well as due to an increase in average interest rates from approximately 4.25% to 7.25%, representing approximately $100,000 of the increase.
We had an income tax expense of $5.5 million for fiscal 2006 compared to $1.3 million in the prior year. Our effective tax rate was 43.8% for fiscal 2006 compared to 64.5% in the prior year. The higher effective tax rate in fiscal 2005 reflected the charge of $882,000 associated with the sale of our joint venture interest in a factory in China for which we did not record a tax benefit.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary cash requirements are to fund our seasonal build up in inventories and accounts receivable, primarily during the second and third fiscal quarters each year. Due to the seasonality or our business, we generally reach our maximum borrowing under our asset-based credit facility during our third fiscal quarter. The primary sources to meet our operating cash requirements have been borrowings under this credit facility and cash generated from operations. We also raised cash from two offerings of our common stock during the past year as described below.
We are required to make principal payments of at least $6.6 million during fiscal 2008 under our term loan. During fiscal 2006, we used $23.9 million of cash to fund the purchase of Marvin Richards and specified assets from Winlit. We also used $3.3 million of cash in fiscal 2007 to pay additional purchase price based on the operating results of these two divisions. We expect to use additional cash during the next two years to pay additional purchase price in connection with our two acquisitions based on their operating results.
Public Offering
In March 2007, we completed a public offering of 4,500,000 shares of common stock, of which 1,621,000 shares were offered by us and 2,879,000 shares were offered by selling stockholders at a public offering price of $20.00 per share. We received net proceeds of $30.3 million from this offering after payment of the underwriting discount and expenses of the offering. In April, 2007, we received additional net proceeds of $6.0 million in connection with the sale of 313,334 shares pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option. The net proceeds received by us will be used for general corporate purposes.
Private Placement
On July 13, 2006, we completed a private placement of our common stock and five-year warrants to purchase our common stock pursuant to a securities purchase agreement between us and a group of investors resulting in net proceeds to us of $15.0 million. The net proceeds of this placement were used to temporarily repay a portion of our outstanding balance under our revolving credit line.
We issued 1,500,000 shares of our common stock to the investors at a price of $10.11 per share. We also issued to the investors warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 375,000 shares of our common stock, exercisable beginning six months after the closing date of the private placement, at an exercise price of $11.00 per share, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified events, including customary weighted average price anti-dilution adjustments.
The investors will, subject to exceptions and qualifications specified in the purchase agreement, have a right of first refusal until July 13, 2008 with respect to the proposed sale by us of our equity or equity equivalent securities at an effective price per share of $10.00 or less.
We also entered into a registration rights agreement with the investors, in which we agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, resales from time to time of the 1,500,000 shares purchased from us, any warrant shares issued upon exercise of the warrants and an additional 500,000 shares of our common stock sold

Table of Contentsto the investors at the same time by Mr. Aron Goldfarb, our founder and father of our Chief Executive Officer. We filed the registration statement within the required time period and the registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC. These investors sold an aggregate of 878,333 shares of our common stock in our recent public offering.
Financing Agreement
We have a financing agreement with The CIT Group/Commercial Services, Inc., as Agent, for a consortium of banks that was entered into in July 2005. The financing agreement is a three year, senior secured credit facility providing for borrowings in the aggregate principal amount of up to $195 million. The facility consists of a revolving line of credit and a term loan. This financing agreement replaced our prior financing agreement that was a revolving line of credit that provided a maximum line of credit in amounts that ranged from $35 million to $110 million at specific times during the year.
The revolving line of credit provides for a maximum line ranging from $45 million to $165 million at specific times during the year, provided that there are no borrowings outstanding for at least 45 days during the period from December 1 through April 30 each year. We have satisfied this requirement for the most recent period. Amounts available under the line are subject to borrowing base formulas and over advances as specified in the financing agreement. Borrowings under the line of credit during fiscal 2007 bore interest, at our option, at the prime rate (8.25% at January 31, 2007) or LIBOR plus 2.25% (7.61% at January 31, 2007).
The amount borrowed under the line of credit varies based on our seasonal requirements. The maximum amount outstanding, including open letters of credit, under our line of credit was approximately $64.9 million in fiscal 2005, $129.6 million in fiscal 2006 and $138.3 million in fiscal 2007. As of January 31, 2006, there were no direct borrowings and no banker’s acceptances outstanding. At January 31, 2007, there were direct borrowings in the amount of $1.6 million and no banker’s acceptances outstanding. Our contingent liability under open letters of credit was approximately $2.8 million at January 31, 2006 and 2007.
The term loan in the original principal amount of $30 million is payable over three years with eleven quarterly installments of principal in the amount of $1,650,000 and a balloon payment due on July 11, 2008, the maturity date of the loan. Mandatory prepayments are required under the term loan commencing with fiscal 2007 to the extent of 50% of excess cash flow, as defined. The required prepayment for the year ended January 31, 2007 was $2.0 million and has been classified as current portion of notes payable on our consolidated balance sheet. As a result of this prepayment, the amount of the balloon payment is currently $9.8 million. During fiscal 2007, the term loan bore interest, at our option, at prime plus 1% (9.25% at January 31, 2007) or LIBOR plus 3.25% (8.61% at January 31, 2007).
The financing agreement requires us, among other things, to maintain tangible net worth at specified levels, achieve specified earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and maintain minimum fixed charge coverage ratios as defined. It also limits payments for cash dividends and stock redemption to $1.5 million plus an additional amount based on the proceeds of sales of equity securities. The financing agreement is secured by all of our assets.
On March 5, 2007, the financing agreement was amended to set forth covenants for the year ending January 31, 2008 related to net worth, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, fixed charge coverage ratio and capital expenditures. The amendment also specifies the maximum amounts that may be borrowed during the year, revised permitted over-advances and lowers the applicable interest rates by 0.25%. Beginning April 1, 2007, borrowings under the line of credit will bear interest, at our option, at the prime rate less 0.25% (8.0% at April 1, 2007) or LIBOR plus 2.0% (7.36% at April 1, 2007), and borrowings under the term loan will bear interest, at our option, at prime plus 0.75% (9.0% at April 1, 2007) or LIBOR plus 3.0% (8.36% at April 1, 2007).
Subsidiary Debt
PT Balihides, our Indonesian subsidiary, had a separate credit facility with an Indonesian bank. In December 2002, we closed the manufacturing facility operated by this subsidiary. The notes payable under
28
Table of Contentsthis facility represent borrowings as of January 31, 2006 of approximately $770,000. The loan is collateralized by the property, plant and equipment of this subsidiary. No other G-III entity has guaranteed this loan. We continue to be in discussions with the bank regarding settlement of this debt.
Cash from Operating Activities
SFAS 123R requires that income tax benefits related to stock option exercises be reported in the cash from financing activities section of the Statements of Cash Flows. Accordingly, $176,000 of tax benefits in fiscal 2006 and $133,000 of tax benefits in fiscal 2005 were reclassified to cash from financing activities from cash from operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and this reclassification has been reflected in the following discussion.
At January 31, 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents of $12.0 million. We used $1.4 million of cash from operating activities in fiscal 2007. Cash generated from our net income of $13.2 million, an increase in accounts payable of $5.9 million and non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization of $4.4 million was more than offset by increases in our accounts receivable of $15.2 million, inventory of $7.7 million and prepaid expenses of $2.8 million. The increase in accounts receivable is due to a 43% increase in sales in our fourth fiscal quarter. The increases in inventory and in accounts payable are attributable to inventory purchases for our new sportswear, suits and dress businesses. The increase in prepaid expenses is primarily a result of contractual advance payments made to licensors in accordance with some of our license agreements.
At January 31, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7.0 million. We generated $3.6 million of cash from operating activities in fiscal 2006. Cash was generated primarily from our net income of $7.1 million, non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization ($3.1 million) and for shares of common stock issued as compensation ($1.7 million) and a net decrease in inventory of $12.0 million. The decrease in inventory resulted from the sale of $18.3 million of inventory that we acquired from Marvin Richards and Winlit that was not on our balance sheet at the beginning of the year, offset, in part, by an increase of $6.3 million in our year-end inventory. We realized cash from acquired accounts receivable of $5.5 million during the year. The cash generated from these items was offset primarily by an increase in accounts receivable of $21.0 million and an increase in prepaid expenses of $4.3 millio n. The increase in accounts receivable was primarily attributable to the increase in net sales in the fourth quarter fiscal 2006 sales compared to the prior year. The increase in prepaid expenses is primarily a result of contractual advance payments made to licensors in accordance with some of our license agreements.
At January 31, 2005, we had cash and cash equivalents of $16.6 million. We generated $257,000 of cash from operating activities in fiscal 2005, resulting primarily from a decrease in inventory of $4.3 million and non cash charges for depreciation and amortization expense of $1.3 million and the write-down of $882,000 in our joint venture interest, offset in part by an increase in accounts receivable of $5.5 million. The decrease in inventory in fiscal 2005 resulted primarily from reduced fashion sports apparel inventory. Accounts receivable increased primarily due to increased sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 as compared to fiscal 2004.
Cash from Investing Activities
We used $5.7 million of cash for investing activities in fiscal 2007. We paid $3.3 million in connection with contingent payments earned as a result of the operating results of the two businesses we acquired in 2005. We also used $2.5 million for capital expenditures, primarily renovating new warehouse space and renovating existing showroom space. In fiscal 2006, we used $21.8 million of cash for investing activities, primarily in connection with the acquisitions of Marvin Richards ($19.9 million) and Winlit ($596,000). We used the balance of $1.3 million in investing activities for capital expenditures, primarily to renovate existing and additional warehouse space that we leased. In fiscal 2005, capital expenditures, which were primarily for leasehold improvements for office and showroom space and computer equipment, amounted to $1.1 million, partially offset by the proceeds of $200,000 from the sale of our joint venture inter est, resulting in a net use of $865,000 of cash for investing activities.
Cash from Financing Activities
Cash from financing activities provided $12.1 million in fiscal 2007 primarily as a result of net proceeds of $15.0 million from the private placement of our common stock offset by scheduled quarterly
29
Table of Contentsrepayments of our term loan in the aggregate amount of $6.6 million. As of January 31, 2007, there was $21.8 million outstanding under the term loan. In fiscal 2006, cash from financing activities provided $8.9 million primarily as a result of $30.0 million of borrowing under the term loan that is part of our financing agreement, offset in part by the repayment of $12.5 million under our terminated credit facility and repayment of $8.1 million under our new credit facility. We used the proceeds of the term loan primarily to pay the cash portion of the purchase price for the acquisitions of Marvin Richards and Winlit and expenses incurred in connection with the acquisitions and the new financing agreement. As of January 31, 2006, there was $28.4 million outstanding under the term loan. Cash flows generated by financing activities in fiscal 2005 were primarily from financing obtained under a capital lease arrangement ($600,000) and the exercise of stock op tions ($523,000).
Financing Needs
We believe that our cash on hand and cash generated from operations, together with funds available from our line of credit and from the net proceeds of our public offering, 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.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, ‘‘Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes’’ (‘‘FIN 48’’). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in our financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109 ‘‘Accounting for Income Taxes.’’ FIN 48 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a return, as well as guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties and financial statement reporting disclosures. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We are currently evaluating the requirements and impact of FIN 48 on our consolidated financial statements, and will adopt the provisions on February 1 , 2007. Management does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 154 to have a material effect on our results of operations or our financial position.
In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, ‘‘Fair Value Measurements’’ (‘‘FAS 157’’), which addresses how companies should measure fair value when they are required to use a fair value measure for recognition or disclosure purposes under generally accepted accounting principles. The FASB believes that the new standard will make the measurement of fair value more consistent and comparable and improve disclosures about those measures. FAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the requirements and impact of FAS 157 on our consolidated financial statements, and will adopt the provisions on February 1, 2008. FAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any ‘‘off-balance sheet arrangements’’ as such term is defined in Item 303 of Regulation S-K of the SEC rules.

ITEM 7A. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. |
Impact of Inflation and Foreign Exchange
Our results of operations for the periods discussed have not been significantly affected by inflation or foreign currency fluctuation. We negotiate our purchase orders with foreign manufacturers in United States dollars. Thus, notwithstanding any fluctuation in foreign currencies, our cost for any purchase order is not subject to change after the time the order is placed. However, if the value of the United States dollar against local currencies were to decrease, manufacturers might increase their United States dollar prices for products.
We believe that inflation has not had a material effect on our costs and net revenues during the past three years.
Interest Rate Exposure
We are subject to market risk from exposure to changes in interest rates relating primarily to our line of credit. We borrow under the line of credit to support general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures and working capital needs. All of our debt will mature in less than two years and carries variable rates. We do not expect changes in interest rates to have a material adverse effect on income or cash flows in fiscal 2008. Based on our average borrowings during fiscal 2007, we estimate that each 100 basis point increase in our borrowing rates would result in additional interest expense to us of approximately $570,000.

INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULES
(Item 15(a))
All other schedules for which provision is made in the applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission are not required under the related instructions or are inapplicable and, accordingly, are omitted.

Table of ContentsREPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of G-III Apparel Group, Ltd.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. and subsidiaries as of January 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 2007. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. and subsidiaries at January 31, 2007 and 2006, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
January 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005
NOTE A — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows:
| | |
| 1. | Business Activity and Principles of Consolidation |
As used in these financial statements, the term ‘‘Company’’ or ‘‘G-III’’ refers to G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company designs, manufactures, imports, and markets an extensive range of outerwear and sportswear apparel which is sold to retailers primarily throughout the United States.
The Company consolidates the accounts of all its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
References to fiscal years refer to the year ended or ending on January 31 of that year.
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Goods are shipped in accordance with specific customer orders. The Company recognizes sales when the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to its customer, determined by the Company to be when title to the merchandise passes to its customer. In addition, the Company acts as an agent in brokering sales between its customers and overseas factories. On these transactions, the Company recognizes commission fee income on sales that are financed by and shipped directly to its customers. Title to goods shipped from the Company’s overseas vendors transfers to customers when the goods have been delivered to the customer. The Company recognizes commission income upon the completion of the delivery by its vendor to its customer.
| | |
| 4. | Returns and Allowances |
We reserve against known chargebacks, as well as for an estimate of potential future deductions and returns by customers. The Company establishes these reserves for returns and allowances based on current and historical information and trends. Allowances are established for trade discounts, markdowns, customer advertising agreements and operational chargebacks, which include shipping violations and freight charges. Estimated costs associated with allowable deductions for customer advertising expenses are reflected as selling, general and administrative expenses. Estimated costs associated with trade discounts and markdowns, net of historical recoveries, operational chargebacks and reserves for returns are reflected as a reduction of net sales. All of these reserves are part of the allowances netted against accounts receivable.
The Company estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the creditworthiness of its customers as well as general economic conditions. Consequently, an adverse change in those factors could affect the Company’s estimate. The Company writes off uncollectible trade receivables once collection efforts have been exhausted and third parties confirm the balance is not recoverable.
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined by the first-in, first-out method) or market.

| 6. | Goodwill and Other Intangibles |
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not amortized, but are subject to annual impairment tests, using a discounted cash flow approach. Other intangibles with determinable lives, including license agreements, are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets (currently ranging from 3.5 to 15 years). Impairment losses, if any, on intangible assets with finite lives are recorded when indicators of impairment are present and the discounted cash flows estimated to be derived from those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts.
| | |
| 7. | Depreciation and Amortization |
Depreciation and amortization are provided for by straight-line methods in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated useful lives.
The following are the estimated lives of the Company’s fixed assets:
| | | |
Machinery and equipment | | | 5 to 7 years |
Furniture and fixtures | | | 5 years |
Computer equipment and software | | | 2 to 5 years |
Building | | | 20 years |
|
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lease term of the respective leases or the useful lives of the improvements; whichever is shorter.
| | |
| 8. | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets |
In accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (‘‘SFAS’’) No. 144, the Company annually evaluates the carrying value of its long-lived assets to determine whether changes have occurred that would suggest that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable based on the estimated future undiscounted cash flows of the businesses to which the assets relate. Any impairment loss would be equal to the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeded its fair value.
Deferred income tax assets reflect the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
| | |
| 10. | Net Income Per Common Share |
Basic net income per share has been computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net income per share amounts have been computed using the weighted average number of common shares and potential dilutive common shares, consisting of stock options, stock purchase warrants and unvested restricted stock awards, outstanding during the period. There were no anti-dilutive securities for the year ended January 31, 2007. Options to acquire an aggregate of approximately 78,000 and 36,000 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted income per common share for the years ended January 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, as including them would have been anti-dilutive.

| 11. | Stock-based Compensation |
Effective February 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, ‘‘Share Based Payment’’ (‘‘SFAS 123R’’). The Company elected to use the modified prospective transition method; therefore, prior period results were not restated. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, stock-based compensation expense related to stock options was not recognized in the results of operations if the exercise price was at least equal to the market value of the common stock on the grant date, in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, ‘‘Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.’’ As a result, the recognition of stock-based compensation expense in prior periods was generally limited to the expense attributed to restricted stock awards.
SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized as compensation expense over the service period (generally the vesting period) in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values. Under the modified prospective method, awards that were granted, modified, or settled on or after February 1, 2006 are measured and accounted for in accordance with SFAS 123R. Unvested equity-based awards that were granted prior to February 1, 2006 will be accounted for in accordance with SFAS 123R and recognized in the results of operations over the remaining vesting periods. The impact of forfeitures that may occur prior to vesting is estimated and considered in the amount recognized. The realization of tax benefits in excess of amounts recognized for financial reporting purposes will be recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as a financing activity rather than a n operating activity as it was classified in the past.
It is the Company’s policy to grant stock options at prices not less than the fair market value on the date of the grant. Option terms, vesting and exercise periods vary, except that the term of an option may not exceed ten years.

The fair value of stock options was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model requires the input of subjective assumptions that will usually have a significant impact on the fair value estimate. The assumptions for the current period grants were developed based on SFAS 123R and Securities and Exchange Commission guidance contained in Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107, ‘‘Share-Based Payment.’’ The following table summarizes the weighted average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model for grants in fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively:
| | | | | | | | | |
| | | 2007 | | | 2006 | | | 2005 |
Expected stock price volatility | | | 48.4% | | | 48.7% | | | 67.5% |
Expected lives of options | | | | | | | | | |
Directors and officers | | | 7 years | | | 7 years | | | 7 years |
Employees | | | 6 years | | | 6 years | | | 6 years |
Risk-free interest rate | | | 5.0% | | | 3.9% | | | 3.9% |
Expected dividend yield | | | 0% | | | 0% | | | 0% |
|
The weighted average volatility for the current period was developed using historical volatility for periods equal to the expected term of the options. An increase in the weighted average volatility assumption will increase stock compensation expense.
The risk-free interest rate was developed using the U.S. Treasury yield curve for periods equal to the expected term of the options on the grant date. An increase in the risk-free interest rate will increase stock compensation expense.
The dividend yield is a ratio that estimates the expected dividend payments to shareholders. The Company has not declared a cash dividend and has estimated dividend yield at 0%.
The expected term of stock option grants was developed after considering vesting schedules, life of the option, and historical experience. An increase in the expected holding period will increase stock compensation expense.
SFAS 123R requires the recognition of stock-based compensation for the number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. As a result, for most awards, recognized stock compensation was reduced for estimated forfeitures prior to vesting primarily based on an historical annual forfeiture rate. Estimated forfeitures will be reassessed in subsequent periods and may change based on new facts and circumstances.

The weighted average remaining term for stock options outstanding was 4.7 years at January 31, 2007. The aggregate intrinsic value at January 31, 2007 was $26.0 million for stock options outstanding and $20.0 million for stock options exercisable. The intrinsic value for stock options is calculated based on the exercise price of the underlying awards and the market price of our common stock as of January 31, 2007, the reporting date.
In June 2005, the Company granted 211,500 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock to key employees. These shares vested in October 2005 based on the market price of the Company’s common stock exceeding a certain target for at least ten days. Compensation expense of $1.6 million was recorded as an expense on the date the restriction lapsed.
In connection with an acquisition in July 2005, the Company granted 225,000 shares of common stock subject to vesting based on the future market price of the common stock through January 31, 2009. In August 2005, 37,500 shares vested and in February 2006, an additional 37,500 shares vested as a result of the market price conditions being met. In November 2006, the remaining 150,000 unvested shares vested as a result of the market price conditions being met. The cost for the restricted stock was measured and reflected as additional purchase consideration based on the quoted market price on the date the shares vested and the restrictions lapsed.
The following table summarizes unvested restricted stock activity for the years ended January 31, 2007 and 2006:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | 2007 | | | 2006 |
Unvested at beginning of year | | | | | 187,500 | | | | | | 0 | |
Granted | | | | | — | | | | | | 436,500 | |

Unvested at end of year | | | | | 0 | | | | | | 187,500 | |
|
Proceeds received from the exercise of stock options were approximately $983,000 and $432,000 during the years ended January 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $3.8 million and $679,000 for the years ended January 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. A portion of this amount is currently deductible for tax purposes.
As of January 31, 2007, approximately $1.2 million of unrecognized stock compensation related to unvested awards (net of estimated forfeitures) is expected to be recognized through the year ended January 31, 2013.
The weighted average fair value at date of grant for options granted during fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $5.43, $3.40 and $3.28 per option, respectively. The fair value of each option at date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Cost of goods sold includes the expenses incurred to acquire, produce and prepare inventory for sale, including product costs, warehouse staff wages, freight in, import costs, packaging materials, the cost of operating our overseas offices and royalty expense. Our gross margins may not be directly comparable to those of our competitors, as income statement classifications of certain expenses may vary by company.

Shipping and handling costs consist of warehouse facility costs, third party warehousing, freight out costs, and warehouse supervisory wages and are included in selling, general and administrative expense. Shipping and handling costs included in selling, general and administrative expenses were $13.2 million, $9.1 million and $7.8 million for the years ended January 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred and includes these costs in selling, general and administrative expense. Advertising expense was $13.5 million, $8.9 million and $5.9 million for the years ended January 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Prepaid advertising, which represents advance payments to licensors for contractual advertising, was $3.1 million and $2.2 million at January 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Certain amounts in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the years ended January 31, 2006 and 2005 have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. See Note A[11].
In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

| 17. | Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
Based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for bank loans with similar terms and maturities, the fair value of the Company’s debt approximates the carrying value. Furthermore, the carrying value of all other financial instruments potentially subject to valuation risk (principally consisting of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable) also approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of their maturity.
| | |
| 18. | Foreign Currency Translation |
The financial statements of subsidiaries outside the United States, other than Indonesia, are measured using local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at average monthly rates of exchange. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions of these subsidiaries are included in net earnings.

| 19. | Effects of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements |
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, ‘‘Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes’’ (‘‘FIN 48’’). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertain income tax positions recognized in the Company’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109 ‘‘Accounting for Income Taxes.’’ FIN 48 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a return, as well as guidance on derecognition of uncertain positions, financial statement classification, accounting for interest

and penalties and financial statement reporting disclosures. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements and impact of FIN 48 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Management believes the adoption of FIN 48 will not have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position.
In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, ‘‘Fair Value Measurements’’ (‘‘FAS 157’’), which addresses how companies should measure fair value when they are required to use a fair value measure for recognition or disclosure purposes under generally accepted accounting principles. The FASB believes that the new standard will make the measurement of fair value more consistent and comparable and improve disclosures about those measures. FAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements and impact of FAS 157 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and will adopt the provisions on February 1, 2008. FAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE E — NOTES PAYABLE
The Company has a financing agreement with The CIT Group/Commercial Services, Inc., as Agent, for a consortium of banks. The financing agreement, which expires on July 11, 2008, is a senior collateralized credit facility providing for borrowings in the aggregate principal amount of up to $195 million. The facility consists of a revolving line of credit and a term loan.
The revolving line of credit provides for a maximum line ranging from $45 million to $165 million at specific times during the year, provided that there are no borrowings outstanding for at least 45 days during the period from December 1 through April 30 each year. This condition has been met for the current year. Amounts available under the line are subject to borrowing base formulas and over advances as specified in the financing agreement. Borrowings under the line of credit bore interest during the year ended January 31, 2007 at the Company’s option at the prime rate or LIBOR plus 2.25%.
The term loan in the original principal amount of $30 million is payable over three years with eleven quarterly installments of principal in the amount of $1,650,000 and a balloon payment due on July 11, 2008, the maturity date of the loan. Mandatory prepayments are required under the term loan commencing with the fiscal year ended January 31, 2007 to the extent of 50% of excess cash flow, as defined. The prepayment amount for the year ended January 31, 2007 was $2.0 million and has been classified as current portion of notes payable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
The financing agreement requires the Company, among other covenants, to maintain certain earnings, tangible net worth and minimum fixed charge coverage ratios as defined. It also limits payments for cash dividends and stock redemption to $1.5 million plus an additional amount based on the proceeds of sales of equity securities and limits annual capital expenditures. As of January 31, 2007, we were in compliance with these covenants. The financing agreement is collateralized by all of the assets of the Company.
Notes payable also includes a foreign note payable ($770,000) by PT Balihides, the Company’s inactive Indonesian subsidiary.
On March 5, 2007, the credit facility was amended to set forth covenants for the year ended January 31, 2008 related to net worth, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, fixed charge coverage ratio and capital expenditures. The amendment also specifies the maximum amounts that may be borrowed during the year, revised permitted over-advances and lowers the applicable interest rates. Beginning April 1, 2007, borrowings under the line of credit will bear interest at the Company’s option at the prime rate less 0.25% or LIBOR plus 2.0% and borrowings under the term loan will bear interest, at the Company’s option, at prime plus 0.75% or LIBOR plus 3.0%.
The weighted average interest rate for amounts borrowed under the credit facility was 8.5% and 6.5% for the years ended January 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
