Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

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

The Company consolidates the accounts of all its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Vilebrequin, an entity acquired in August 2012, reports results on a calendar year basis rather than on the January 31 fiscal year basis used by the Company. Accordingly, the results of Vilebrequin are and will be included in the financial statements for the quarter ended or ending closest to the Company’s fiscal quarter.

The results for the three month period ended April 30, 2013 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 periods presented have been reflected.

Investments in entities that the Company does not control but has the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Equity method investments are recorded initially at cost in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Those amounts are adjusted to recognize the Company’s proportional share of the investee’s net income or loss after the date of the investment. In October 2012, the Company sold its interest in the joint venture that operated outlet stores under the Vince Camuto name, which had been accounted for by the equity method. During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company entered into a joint venture, of which the Company owns 51%, to operate Calvin Klein Performance retail stores in mainland China and Hong Kong, and the Company consolidates the accounts of this joint venture. The Company’s 2013 share of net income or loss of this investment is included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
