                   G-III APPAREL GROUP, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Note 1 - General Discussion

As used in these financial statements, the term "Company" refers to G-III
Apparel Group, Ltd. and its majority-owned subsidiaries. The results for the
three month period ended April 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the
results expected for the entire fiscal year, given the seasonal nature of the
Company's business. The accompanying financial statements included herein are
unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only
normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim period presented
have been reflected.

Certain amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of April 30,
2005 and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three
months ended April 30, 2005 have been reclassified to conform to the current
period presentation.

The Company consolidates the accounts of all its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The
Company accounts for its 50% interest in the operations of Fabio Licensing, LLC,
which is not material, using the equity method of accounting. All material
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

All share and per share data have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to a
three-for-two split of our Common Stock effected on March 28, 2006.

The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended
January 31, 2006.


Note 2 - 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 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 continue to be accounted
for in accordance with SFAS 123, except that all awards are recognized in the
results of operations over the remaining vesting periods. The impact of
forfeitures that may occur prior to vesting is also estimated and considered in
the amount recognized. Also, 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 an
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.


                                       6



The following table summarizes the pro forma effect of stock-based compensation
as if the fair value method of accounting for stock compensation had been

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 Commision guidance contained in Staff Accounting
Bulletin (SAB) No. 107, "Share-Based Payment." The following table summarizes
the assumptions used to compute the weighted average fair value of stock option
grants.

The following weighted average assumptions were used in the Black-Scholes option
pricing model for grants in fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively:

                                                 2006            2005
                                             ----------      ------------

Expected stock price volatility                 48.7%           67.5%
Expected lives of options
   Directors and officers                     7 YEARS          7 years
   Employees                                  6 YEARS          6 years
Risk-free interest rate                         3.9%             3.9%
Expected dividend yield                          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.
Prior to fiscal 2006, historical volatility was also used. 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 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 of 3.6% for
stock options. 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 4.2 years
at April 30, 2006. The aggregate intrinsic value at April 30, 2006 was $8.8
million for stock options outstanding and $7.3 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 the reporting date.

In connection with the acquisition, 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 conditions
being met. The cost for the restricted stock was measured and reflected as
additional goodwill based on the quoted market price on the date the shares
vested and the restrictions lapsed.

The following table summarizes unvested restricted stock unit activity for the
three months ended April 30, 2006:

Unvested as of February 1, 2006                           187,500

                                                          =======

Proceeds received from the exercise of stock options were approximately $62,000
and $39,000 during the three months ended April 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
The intrinsic value related to the exercise of stock options was $365,000 and
$41,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, which
is currently deductible for tax purposes.

Tax benefits were attributed to the stock-based compensation expense. The
Company elected to adopt the alternative method of calculating the historical
pool of windfall tax benefits as permitted by FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. SFAS
123R-c, "Transition Election Related to Accounting for the Tax Effects of
Share-Based Payment Awards." This is a simplified method to determine the pool
of windfall tax benefits that is used in determining the tax effects of stock
compensation in the results of operations and cash flow reporting for awards
that were outstanding as of the adoption of SFAS 123R.

As of April 30, 2006, approximately $966,000 of unrecognized stock compensation
related to unvested awards (net of estimated forfeitures) is expected to be
recognized through April 30, 2010.

Note 6 - 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
matures on July 11, 2008, is a 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.

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 bear interest 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 of $11,850,000 due on July 11, 2008, the
maturity date of the loan. Mandatory prepayments are required under the term
loan commencing with the fiscal year ending January 31, 2007 to the extent of
50% of excess cash flow, as defined. The term loan bears interest, at the
Company's option, at prime plus 1% or LIBOR plus 3.25%.

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 for stock redemptions based on the proceeds of
sales of equity securities and limits annual capital expenditures. 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.


Note 7 - Closing of Manufacturing Facility

The unpaid portion of the non-recurring charge associated with the closing of
our Indonesian manufacturing facility in December 2002 is included in "Accrued
expenses" in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The balance in the
reserve at April 30, 2006 and January 31, 2006 is $398,000, and represents
accrued expenses and other miscellaneous costs. Based on current estimates,
management believes that existing accruals are adequate.

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, dependence on licensed product, 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, possible business disruption from acquisitions, 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.


OVERVIEW

         G-III designs, manufactures and markets an extensive range of outerwear
and sportswear, including coats, jackets, pants, suits, dresses and other
sportswear items under licensed brands, our own proprietary brands 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 and we expect that our ten largest customers will
continue to represent a majority of our sales.

         We operate in fashion markets that are highly 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, deliver
products in a timely manner 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 private label brands and our own proprietary
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 new apparel licenses
in the past year. 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 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. As a result, our results for the first two quarters of fiscal
2006 and 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 will include the full year of operations of the acquired companies,
as well as a full year of interest expense and amortization expense relating to
the acquisitions. Accordingly, we expect that our seasonal net loss in the
second quarter of fiscal 2007 ending July 31, 2006 will be higher than in the
second quarter of fiscal 2006, as was the case with our seasonal net loss in the
first quarter of fiscal 2007 that ended April 30, 2006.

         These acquisitions are consistent with our strategy to increase the
portfolio of brands that we offer through different tiers of retail
distribution. Both transactions are expected to complement our existing group of
licensed brands, G-III owned labels and private label programs.


                                       12



                  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 and expect to begin
shipping women's dresses for holiday 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 expect to launch the Sean John sportswear line in 2007. We will
also be designing and producing a line of urban sportswear for Wal-Mart under
their Exsto label, with shipments expected to begin 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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2006 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2005

Historically, we have our lowest net sales during our first fiscal quarter. Net
sales for the three months ended April 30, 2006 increased to $14.4 million from
$13.8 million in the same period last year. Net sales of licensed apparel
increased to $13.1 million from $11.1 million, primarily as a result of sales of
Calvin Klein women's suits. Net sales of non-licensed apparel decreased to $1.3
million from $2.7 million, primarily due to lower closeout sales of women's
outerwear.

Gross profit decreased to $679,000, or 4.7% of net sales, for the three month
period ended April 30, 2006, from $915,000, or 6.6% of net sales, in the same
period last year. The seasonally low gross profit in the first quarter is
primarily due to the impact of spreading fixed costs over the smaller amount of
net sales generated in the first quarter. The gross profit percentage in our
licensed apparel segment was 14.3% in the three month period ended April 30,
2006 compared to 9.9% in the same period last year. The increase was primarily
due to sales of Calvin Klein women's suits. The gross loss in the non-licensed
segment increased due to comparable fixed costs being allocated over lower sales
volume than in the prior year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $6.3 million to $15.4
million in the three month period ended April 30, 2006 from $9.1 million in the
same period last year. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased
primarily as a result of increases in personnel costs ($2.5 million), facility
costs ($906,000), depreciation and amortization ($784,000) and advertising and
promotion ($658,000). Personnel and facility costs increased primarily due to
costs related to the businesses we acquired in July 2005. Facility costs also
increased as a result of the additional space leased in our Secaucus warehouse
facility that was added in August 2005. Depreciation and amortization expense
increased as a result of the amortization of the identifiable intangibles we
acquired. Advertising and promotion increased due to contractual advertising
under the licenses that we added as a result the acquisitions and contractual
advertising under our existing license agreements.

Interest and finance charges, net for the three month period ended April 30,
2006 were $647,000 compared to $3,000 for the comparable period last year.
Interest expense increased due to the term loan entered into in connection with
the financing of our two acquisitions and less interest income due to lower
average cash balances than in the comparable period in the prior year.

Income tax benefit for the three months ended April 30, 2006 was $6.5 million
compared to $3.5 million in the comparable period last year. The effective rate
for the current period was 42.5% compared to 43.0% for the comparable prior
period.


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 of 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 cash requirements are borrowings under
this credit facility and cash generated from operations. At April 30, 2006, we
had cash and cash equivalents of $8.2 million and had no outstanding borrowings
compared to cash and cash equivalents of $22.7 million and no outstanding
borrowings at April 30, 2005.

Financing Agreement

We have a financing agreement with The CIT Group/Commercial Services, Inc., as
Agent, for a consortium of banks. The financing agreement, which matures on July
11, 2008, is a senior secured credit facility providing for borrowings in the
aggregate principal amount of up to $195.0 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. We 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


                                       14



financing agreement. Borrowings under the line of credit bear interest at our
option at the prime rate or LIBOR plus 2.25%.

The amount borrowed under the line of credit varies based on our seasonal
requirements. As of April 30, 2006 and 2005, there were no direct borrowings and
our contingent liability under open letters of credit was approximately $13.5
million and $14.1 million, respectively.

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. Payment of quarterly installments began on December 31, 2005, with
the remaining balance of $11,850,000 due on maturity of the loan. Mandatory
prepayments are required under the term loan commencing with the fiscal year
ending January 31, 2007 to the extent of 50% of excess cash flow, as defined.
The term loan bears interest, at our option, at prime plus 1% or LIBOR plus
3.25%. As of May 1, 2006, the term loan bore interest at prime plus 1%, or 8.75%
per year. The balance due on the term loan at April 30, 2006 was $26,700,000.

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 capital expenditures and payments for cash
dividends and stock redemption to $1.5 million plus an additional amount for
stock redemptions based on the proceeds of sales of equity securities. The
financing agreement is secured by all of our assets.

Loan to Subsidiary

PT Balihides, our inactive 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 this facility represent
borrowings as of April 30, 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

We generated $4.8 million of cash from operating activities in the three months
ended April 30, 2006, primarily as a result of decrease of $31.8 million in
accounts receivable, offset in part by our net loss of $8.9 million, a decrease
in income taxes payable and an increase in prepaid income taxes of $7.8 million,
a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $7.6 million and an
increase in prepaid expenses of $5.8 million. The decrease in accounts
receivable in the quarter resulted primarily from the collection of accounts
receivable related to net sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 which were
much higher than net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. This is
consistent with our seasonal pattern in prior years. The decrease in income
taxes payable is attributable to income taxes paid subsequent to year end as a
result of our fiscal 2006 income and the increase in prepaid taxes is a result
of the tax benefit recorded for our first quarter 2007 loss. The decrease in
accounts payable and accrued expenses is primarily due to accrued bonuses ($1.8
million) and accrued royalties ($2.2 million) being paid in the first quarter.
The increase in prepaid expenses is primarily a result of prepaid royalties and
advertising under our license agreements.

During the three months ended April 30, 2005, we generated $6.3 million of cash
from operating activities, resulting primarily from a decrease in our accounts
receivable of $17.0 million, offset in part by our net loss of $4.7 million, an
increase in our income tax receivable of $3.8 million and an increase in our
prepaid expenses of $3.4 million. The decrease in accounts receivable in the
quarter resulted primarily from the collection of accounts receivable related to
net sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 which were much higher than net
sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, which is consistent with our seasonal
pattern in prior years. The increase in prepaid expenses is primarily a result
of prepaid royalties and purchases of samples for the fall season.

Cash from Investing Activities

We used $2.0 million of cash in investing activities in the three months ended
April 30, 2006. We paid $1.7 million to the sellers of the acquired companies as
contingent purchase price based on attaining performance goals as defined in the
respective purchase agreements. The sellers are entitled to earn-out payments
through the year ended January 31, 2009. We had capital expenditures of $289,000
in the three months ended April 30, 2006 compared to $197,000 in the comparable
period in the prior year.


                                       15



Cash from Financing Activities

Our primary use of cash in financing activities in the three months ended April
30, 2006 was to pay the quarterly installment of $1.65 million under our term
loan. The remaining financing activity consisted of repayments on capital lease
obligations and cash received from the exercise of stock options.

Proposed Public Offering

         On May 8, 2006, we filed a registration statement with the Securities
and Exchange Commission for a proposed offering of 4,000,000 shares of our
common stock pursuant to which we would offer 3,000,000 shares and selling
stockholders would offer 1,000,000 shares. We would also grant the underwriters
a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 600,000 shares for
over-allotment purposes. We would not receive any proceeds from the sale of
shares of common stock by the selling stockholders. If the offering is
completed, as to which there is no assurance, we intend to use the net proceeds
to repay the outstanding balance under our term loan and for general corporate
purposes.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our discussion of results of operations and financial condition relies on our
consolidated financial statements that are prepared based on certain critical
accounting policies that require management to make judgments and estimates that
are subject to varying degrees of uncertainty. We believe that investors need to
be aware of these policies and how they impact our financial statements as a
whole, as well as our related discussion and analysis presented herein. While we
believe that these accounting policies are based on sound measurement criteria,
actual future events can and often do result in outcomes that can be materially
different from these estimates or forecasts. The accounting policies and related
estimates described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January
31, 2006 are those that depend most heavily on these judgments and estimates. As
of April 30, 2006, there have been no material changes to our critical
accounting policies.


EFFECTS OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

We adopted SFAS 123R on February 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method.
Under this method, we are required to recognize compensation cost, on a
prospective basis, for the portion of outstanding awards for which the requisite
service has not yet been rendered as of February 1, 2006, based upon the
grant-date fair value of those awards calculated under SFAS 123 for pro forma
disclosure purposes. Under SFAS 123R, we are required to measure the cost of
services received in exchange for stock options and similar awards based on the
grant-date fair value of the award and recognize this cost in the income
statement over the period during which an award recipient is required to provide
service in exchange for the award. The pro forma disclosures previously
permitted under SFAS 123 no longer will be an alternative to financial statement
recognition.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There are no material changes to the disclosure made with respect to these
matters in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2006.


ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management, including
the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an
evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e)
under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by
us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded,
processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the
Commission's rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers,
as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. During
our last fiscal quarter, there were no changes in our internal control over
financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

                                     PART II
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should
carefully consider the factors discussed in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2006, which could
materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks
described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our
company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we
currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our
business, financial condition and/or operating results.
