Note 3 - Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic earnings per share amounts have been computed using the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during each period. When applicable, diluted
earnings per share amounts are computed using the weighted average number of
common shares and the dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the
period.
Note 4 - Notes Payable
The Company's loan agreement, which expires on May 31, 2002, is a collateralized
working capital line of credit with six banks that provides for a maximum line
of credit in amounts that range from $45 million to $85 million at specific
times during the year. The line of credit provides for maximum direct borrowings
ranging from $30 million to $64 million during the year. The unused balance may
be used for letters of credit. Amounts available for borrowing are subject to
borrowing base formulas and overadvances specified in the agreement. There was
$23.8 million outstanding at April 30, 2001 and no loan balance outstanding at
January 31, 2001 under this agreement.
-6-
Notes payable also includes borrowings by PT Balihides, the Company's Indonesian
subsidiary, under a credit facility with an Indonesian bank. During the three
month period ended April 30, 2001, the Company began to reduce the amount of
this foreign debt. There were notes payable outstanding under this facility of
$950,000 as of April 30, 2001 and $1.5 million as of January 31, 2001.
Subsequent to April 30, 2001, notes payable outstanding under this facility were
further reduced to $800,000.
Note 5 - Nonrecurring Charge
The nonrecurring charge refers to the reserve associated with the closure of the
Company's domestic factory that was completed by January 31, 1995. The balance
of $204,000 at April 30, 2001 and $228,000 at January 31, 2001 relates to the
remaining obligation under an operating lease obligation. Based on current
estimates, management believes that existing accruals are adequate. Other
long-term liabilities include $105,000 and $131,000 of nonrecurring charges at
April 30, 2001 and January 31, 2001, respectively.
Note 6 - Segments
The Company's reportable segments are business units that offer different
products and are managed separately. The Company operates in two segments,
licensed and non-licensed apparel. The following information is presented for

Item 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
Unless the context otherwise requires, "G-III", "us", "we" and "our" refer to
G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. and its subsidiaries. References to fiscal years refer
to the year ended or ending on January 31 of that year.
Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q concerning our business outlook
or future economic performance; anticipated revenues, expenses or other
financial items; product introductions and plans and objectives related thereto;
and statements concerning assumptions made or expectations as to any future
events, conditions, performance or other matter, are "forward-looking
statements" as that term is defined under the Federal securities laws.
Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors
which could cause actual results to differ materially from those stated in such
statements. Such risks, uncertainties and factors include, but are not limited
to, reliance on foreign manufacturers, risks of doing business abroad, the
nature of the apparel industry, including changing consumer demand and tastes,
seasonality, customer acceptance of new products, the impact of competitive
products and pricing, dependence on existing management, general economic
conditions, as well as other risks detailed in the Company's filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, including this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q.
Results of Operations
Traditionally, the three month period ending April 30 has been the quarter with
the lowest sales volume during our fiscal year. Net sales for the three months
ended April 30, 2001 were $17.2 million compared to $10.6 million for the same
period last year. The increase in net sales during the quarter was attributable
to a $5.0 million increase in sales of non-licensed apparel and a $1.6 million
increase in sales of licensed apparel.
Gross profit was $3.0 million, or 17.2% of net sales, for the three month period
ended April 30, 2001 compared to $2.2 million, or 20.6% of net sales, for the
same period last year. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased due
to selling a greater proportion of lower-margin product than last year and an
increase in close-out sales for inventory management purposes compared to the
same period last year.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $7.5 million for the three
month period ended April 30, 2001 compared to $6.3 million for the same period
last year. The increase over the prior year is primarily the result of increased
personnel and advertising expenses incurred in connection with our new product
lines for Jones New York, Cole Haan and Caterpillar.
Interest expense and finance charges for the three month period ended April 30,
2001 were $305,000 compared to $85,000 for the comparable period last year. The
increase in interest expense resulted primarily from higher borrowings needed to
support the increase in our inventory compared to last year as orders for fall
merchandise deliveries are at a higher level than in the prior year.
Income tax benefit of $1.9 million reflects an effective tax rate of 40% for the
three months ended April 30, 2001 compared to an income tax benefit of $1.7
million which reflected the same effective tax rate in the comparable period
last year.
As a result of the foregoing, for the three months ended April 30, 2001, we had
a net loss of $2.9 million, or $0.44 per share, compared to a net loss of $2.5
million, or $0.38 share, for the comparable period last year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our loan agreement, which expires on May 31, 2002, is a collateralized working
capital line of credit with six banks that provides for a maximum line of credit
in amounts that range from $45 million to $85 million at specific times during
the year. The line of credit provides for maximum direct borrowings ranging from
$30 million to $64 million during the year. The unused balance may be used for
letters of credit. Amounts available for borrowing are subject to borrowing base
formulas and overadvances specified in the agreement. There was $23.8 million
outstanding at April 30, 2001 and no loan balance outstanding at January 31,
2001 under this agreement.
Direct borrowings under the line of credit bear interest at our option at either
the prevailing prime rate (7.0% as of June 1, 2001) or LIBOR plus 225 basis
points (6.3% at June 1, 2001). All borrowings are collateralized by the assets
of our Company. The loan agreement requires us, among other covenants, to
maintain specified earnings and tangible net worth levels, and prohibits the
payment of cash dividends. The amount borrowed under the line of credit varies
based on our seasonal requirements. As of April 30, 2001, direct borrowings were
$23.8 million and contingent liability under open letters of credit was
approximately $15.7 million compared to direct borrowings of $7.0 million and
contingent liability under open letters of credit of approximately $21.8 million
as of April 30, 2000. The increase in borrowings under our credit facility
compared to last year resulted primarily from the increase in our inventories.
PT Balihides, our Indonesian subsidiary, has a separate credit facility with an
Indonesian bank. During the three month period ended April 30, 2001, the Company
began to reduce the amount of this foreign debt. There were notes payable
outstanding under this facility of approximately $950,000 as of April 30, 2001
and $1.5 million as of January 31, 2001. Subsequent to April 30, 2001, notes
payable outstanding under this facility were further reduced to $800,000.
In November 1999, along with Black Entertainment Television ("BET"), we decided
to discontinue our BET Design Studio joint venture. The joint venture was
started in February 1997 to provide a BET-branded clothing and accessory line.
BET and us each contributed $3.8 million to this joint venture, of which $1.0
million was contributed during the quarter ended April 30, 2000. The final
distribution from the joint venture company was made in January, 2001.
On December 20, 1999, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to
$1,000,000 worth of our common stock. We purchased 244,817 shares of our common
stock at a total cost of $970,000. We concluded this buyback program in the
quarter ended April 30, 2000, when we expended $540,000 to purchase our shares.
Effect of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Derivatives
Effective February 1, 2001, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." Due to the immaterial amount of derivative
and hedging activity within the Company, the effect of adopting SFAS 133 on the
Company's results of operations and financial position was immaterial.
