Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.	Significant Accounting Policies:

The accounting policies we follow are set forth in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2006. We also discuss such policies in Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, included in this Form 10-Q.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, including majority-owned Inter Parfums, S.A. (“IPSA”), a subsidiary whose stock is publicly traded in France. In January 2007, IPSA formed and began operations of four new majority-owned distribution subsidiaries, Inter Parfums Limited, Inter Parfums Deutschland GMBH, Inter Parfums srl and Inter España Parfums et Cosmetiques, SL, covering territories in The United Kingdom, Germany, Italy and Spain, respectively. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

2.	New Accounting Pronouncements:

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement 115.” SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS 159 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). While the statement does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances, it defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS 157 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB No. 109 (“FIN 48”), which prescribes accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax positions. This interpretation defines the criteria that must be met for the benefits of a tax position to be recognized in the financial statements and the measurement of tax benefits recognized. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective as of the beginning of the Company’s 2007 fiscal year, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The adoption by the Company of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2006, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets (“SFAS 156”), to simplify accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS 156 amends SFAS 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. SFAS 156 permits an entity to choose either the amortization method or the fair value measurement method for measuring each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities after they have been initially measured at fair value. SFAS 156 applies to all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The adoption by the Company of SFAS 156 did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.

5.	Earnings Per Share:

We computed basic earnings per share using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. We computed diluted earnings per share using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period, plus the incremental shares outstanding assuming the exercise of dilutive stock options.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

(In thousands)	Three months ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,
	2007		2006		2007		2006
Numerator:
Net income	$	5,660	$	4,645	$	15,202	$	12,257

Denominator:
Weighted average shares - basic		20,437		20,322		20,437		20,302
Effect of dilutive securities:
Stock options and warrants		241		224		237		249

Weighted average shares - diluted		20,678		20,546		20,674		20,551

Not included in the above computations is the effect of antidilutive potential common shares which consist of outstanding options to purchase 357,000 and 297,000 shares of common stock for the three and nine month periods ended September 30 2007, respectively, and 202,000 and 215,000 shares for the three and nine month periods ended September 30 2006, respectively, as well as outstanding warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock for all periods presented.

6.	Inventories:

Inventories consist of the following:

(In thousands)	September 30, 2007		December 31, 2006

Raw materials and component parts	$	37,387	$	27,179
Finished goods		63,985		42,358

	$	101,372	$	69,537

7.	Long-term Debt:

In September 2007, Inter Parfums, S.A. entered into a €22 million five-year credit agreement. The long-term credit facility, which bears interest at 0.40% above the three month EURIBOR rate or 5.19% as of September 30 2007, provides for principal to be repaid in 20 equal quarterly installments and requires the maintenance of certain financial covenants. In connection with this credit agreement, the Company entered into a swap transaction effectively exchanging the variable interest rate referred to above to a fixed rate of 4.42%. This derivative instrument is recorded at fair value and changes in fair value are reflected in the consolidated statements of income.

In January 2007, Inter Parfums, S.A. entered into an €18 million five-year credit agreement. The long-term credit facility, which bears interest at 4.1% provides for principal to be repaid in 20 equal quarterly installments and requires the maintenance of certain financial covenants.

In July 2004, Inter Parfums, S.A. entered into a €16 million five-year credit agreement. The long-term credit facility, which bears interest at 0.60% above the three month EURIBOR rate, provides for principal to be repaid in 20 equal quarterly installments and requires the maintenance of certain financial covenants. In connection with this credit agreement, the Company entered into a swap transaction effectively exchanging the variable interest rate referred to above to a variable rate based on the 12 month EURIBOR rate with a floor of 3.25% and a ceiling of 3.85%. This derivative instrument is recorded at fair value and changes in fair value are reflected in the consolidated statements of income.

At September 30, 2007 exchange rates, maturities of long-term debt on a calendar year basis subsequent to September 30, 2007 are as follows (in thousands):

2007	$	2,694
2008		15,619
2009		13,552
2010		11,493
2011		11,712
2012		6,083

8.	Share-Based Payments:

The Company maintains a stock option program for key employees, executives, and directors. The plans, all of which have been approved by shareholder vote, provide for the granting of both nonqualified and incentive options. Options granted under the plans vest over a period of four to five years and are exercisable for a period of up to six years. It is generally the Company’s policy to issue new shares upon exercise of stock options.

Employee stock-based compensation reduced income before income taxes by $0.28 million and $0.84 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, respectively, as compared to $0.24 million and $0.69 million for the corresponding periods of the prior year. Employee stock-based compensation reduced net income by $0.14 million and $0.42 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, respectively, as compared to $0.12 million and $0.34 million for the corresponding periods of the prior year.

8.	Share-Based Payments (continued):

The following table summarizes stock option information as of September 30, 2007 and does not include information relating to options of Inter Parfums, S.A. granted by Inter Parfums, S.A., our majority owned subsidiary:

No tax benefit was realized or recognized from stock options exercised as valuation reserves were allocated to those potential benefits.

The weighted average fair values of the options granted by Inter Parfums, Inc. during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 were $5.18 and $6.63 per share, respectively, on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: dividend yield 1.0% in 2007 and 0.9% in 2006; volatility of 26% in 2007 and 40% in 2006; risk-free interest rates at the date of grant, 5.0% in 2007 and 4.6% in 2006; and an expected life of the option of four years in 2007 and 2006. Expected volatility is estimated using historical volatility.

9.	Entry Into Definitive Agreements:

[1]

In July 2007, we acquired the worldwide rights to the Lanvin brand names and international trademarks listed in Class 3 from Jeanne Lanvin, S.A. (“Lanvin”). Among other items, Class 3 of the international classification of trademarks goods and services include: soaps, perfumery, essential oils, cosmetics and hair lotions. In July, we paid €22 million (approximately $29.7 million) in cash for the brand names and trademarks and simultaneously terminated our existing license agreement. We also agreed to pay to Lanvin a sales based fee for technical and creative assistance in new product development to be rendered by Lanvin in connection with our use of the trademarks through June 30, 2019. In addition, Lanvin has the right to repurchase the brand names and trademarks in 2025 for the greater of €70 million or one times the average of the annual sales for the years ending December 31, 2023 and 2024.

Prior to this acquisition, the amount paid to secure the license agreement with Lanvin was being amortized over the life of the license agreement. At June 30, 2007, that intangible asset, net of accumulated amortization aggregated €13.2 million. The €22 million paid in July 2007 for the brand names and trademarks together with the carrying value related to the license agreement represents the total cost of acquiring the brand names and trademarks. Such total amount is included in trademarks, licenses and other intangible assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2007.

Since the estimated residual value of the Lanvin brand names and trademarks exceeds its carrying amount, no further amortization expense has been, or is expected to be, recorded after June 30, 2007.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward Looking Information

Statements in this report which are not historical in nature are forward-looking statements. Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved. In some cases you can identify forward-looking statements by forward-looking words such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "should," "will" and "would" or similar words. You should not rely on forward-looking statements because actual events or results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of important factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties discussed under the headings “Forward Looking Statements” and "Risk Factors" in Inter Parfums' annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, and the reports Inter Parfums files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Inter Parfums does not intend to and undertakes no duty to update the information contained in this report.

Overview

We operate in the fragrance business, and manufacture, market and distribute a wide array of fragrances and fragrance related products. We manage our business in two segments, European based operations and United States based operations. Our prestige fragrance products are produced and marketed by our European operations through our 71% owned subsidiary in Paris, Inter Parfums, S.A., which is also a publicly traded company as 29% of Inter Parfums, S.A. shares trade on the Euronext.

We produce and distribute our prestige products primarily under license agreements with brand owners and prestige product sales represented approximately 87% of net sales for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007. We have built a portfolio of brands, which include Burberry, Lanvin, Paul Smith, S.T. Dupont, Christian Lacroix, Quiksilver/Roxy, Van Cleef & Arpels and Nickel whose products are distributed in over 120 countries around the world. Burberry is our most significant license; sales of Burberry products represented 56% and 59% of net sales for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Prestige cosmetics and prestige skin care products represent less than 3% of consolidated net sales.

Our specialty retail and mass-market fragrance and fragrance related products are marketed through our United States operations and represented 13% of sales for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007. These products are sold under trademarks owned by us or pursuant to license or other agreements with the owners of the Gap, Banana Republic, New York & Company, Aziza and Jordache trademarks.

We grow our business in two distinct ways. First, we grow by adding new brands to our portfolio, either through new licenses or out-right acquisitions of brands. Second, we grow through the creation of fragrance family extensions within the existing brands in our portfolio. Every two to three years, we create a new family of fragrances for each brand in our portfolio.

Page 12

INTER PARFUMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Our business is not capital intensive, and it is important to note that we do not own any manufacturing facilities. We act as a general contractor and source our needed components from our suppliers. These components are received at one of our distribution centers and then, based upon production needs, the components are sent to one of several third party fillers which manufacture finished goods for us and deliver them to the respective distribution center.

Recent Important Events

Lanvin

In July 2007, we acquired the worldwide rights to the Lanvin brand names and international trademarks listed in Class 3 from Lanvin. Among other items, Class 3 of the international classification of trademarks goods and services include: soaps, perfumery, essential oils, cosmetics and hair lotions. We paid €22 million (approximately $29.7 million) in cash for the brand names and trademarks and simultaneously terminated our existing license agreement. We also agreed to pay to Lanvin a sales based fee for technical and creative assistance in new product development to be rendered by Lanvin in connection with our use of the trademarks through June 30, 2019. In addition, Lanvin has the right to repurchase the brand names and trademarks in 2025 for the greater of €70 million or one times the average of the annual sales for the years ending December 31, 2023 and 2024.

In September 2007, in connection with the acquisition, we entered into a €22 million five-year credit agreement. The long-term credit facility, which bears interest at 0.40% above the three month EURIBOR rate provides for principal to be repaid in 20 equal quarterly installments.

New York & Company

Van Cleef & Arpels

In September 2006, we entered into an exclusive, worldwide license agreement with Van Cleef & Arpels Logistics SA, for the creation, development and distribution of fragrance and related bath and body products under the Van Cleef & Arpels brand and related trademarks. Van Cleef & Arpels is a prestigious and legendary world-renowned jewelry designer. The agreement runs through December 31, 2018. As an inducement to enter into this license agreement, in January 2007 we paid €18 million (approximately $23.8 million) to Van Cleef & Arpels Logistics SA in a lump sum, up front payment, which amount is included in trademarks, licenses, and other intangible assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and we purchased existing inventory held by YSL Beauté, the former licensee. The license agreement became effective on January 1, 2007.

Page 13

INTER PARFUMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

In January 2007, the up front payment was financed with an €18 million five-year credit agreement. The long-term credit facility, which bears interest at 4.1% provides for principal to be repaid in 20 equal quarterly installments.

Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies

We make estimates and assumptions in the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We believe the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations. These accounting policies generally require our management’s most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. The following is a brief discussion of the more critical accounting policies that we employ.

Revenue Recognition

We sell our products to department stores, perfumeries, specialty retailers, mass-market retailers, supermarkets and domestic and international wholesalers and distributors. Sales of such products by our domestic subsidiaries are denominated in U.S. dollars and sales of such products by our foreign subsidiaries are primarily denominated in either Euros or U.S. dollars. Accounts receivable reflect the granting of credit to these customers. We generally grant credit based upon our analysis of the customer’s financial position as well as previously established buying patterns. We recognize revenues when merchandise is shipped and the risk of loss passes to the customer. Net sales are comprised of gross revenues less returns, and trade discounts and allowances.

Sales Returns

Generally, we do not permit customers to return their unsold products. However, on a case-by-case basis we occasionally allow customer returns. We regularly review and revise, as deemed necessary, our estimate of reserves for future sales returns based primarily upon historic trends and relevant current data. We record estimated reserves for sales returns as a reduction of sales, cost of sales and accounts receivable. Returned products are recorded as inventories and are valued based upon estimated realizable value. The physical condition and marketability of returned products are the major factors we consider in estimating realizable value. Actual returns, as well as estimated realizable values of returned products, may differ significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from our estimates, if factors such as economic conditions, inventory levels or competitive conditions differ from our expectations.

Promotional Allowances

We have various performance-based arrangements with certain retailers. These arrangements primarily allow customers to take deductions against amounts owed to us for product purchases. The costs that the Company incurs for performance based arrangements, shelf replacement costs and slotting fees are netted against revenues on the Company’s consolidated statement of income. Estimated accruals for promotions and advertising programs are recorded in the period in which the related revenue is recognized. We review and revise the estimated accruals for the projected costs for these promotions. Actual costs incurred may differ significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from estimates if factors such as the level and success of the retailers’ programs or other conditions differ from our expectations.

Page 14

INTER PARFUMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is principally determined by the first-in, first-out method. We record adjustments to the cost of inventories based upon our sales forecast and the physical condition of the inventories. These adjustments are estimates, which could vary significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from actual requirements if future economic conditions or competitive conditions differ from our expectations.

Equipment and Other Long-Lived Assets

Equipment, which includes tools and molds, is recorded at cost and is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of such assets. Changes in circumstances such as technological advances, changes to our business model or changes in our capital spending strategy can result in the actual useful lives differing from our estimates. In those cases where we determine that the useful life of equipment should be shortened, we would depreciate the net book value in excess of the salvage value, over its revised remaining useful life, thereby increasing depreciation expense. Factors such as changes in the planned use of equipment, or market acceptance of products, could result in shortened useful lives.

Long-lived assets, including trademarks, licenses, goodwill and other rights, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any such asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest) is less than the carrying value, then we recognize an impairment loss, measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. The estimate of undiscounted cash flows is based upon, among other things, certain assumptions about expected future operating performance. Our estimates of undiscounted cash flows may differ from actual cash flows due to, among other things, economic conditions, changes to our business model or changes in consumer acceptance of our products. In those cases where we determine that the useful life of long-lived assets should be shortened, we would depreciate the net book value in excess of the salvage value (after testing for impairment as described above), over the revised remaining useful life of such asset thereby increasing amortization expense.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. Tax benefits recognized are reduced by a valuation allowance where it is more likely than not that the benefits may not be realized.

Results of Operations

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 as Compared to the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006

	Three months ended September 30,							Nine months ended September 30,
	2007		2006		% Change			2007		2006		% Change
	(in millions)
European based product sales	$	88.1	$	76.1		16	%	$	234.1	$	199.7		17	%
United States based product sales		14.2		13.6		4	%		36.1		31.2		16	%
	$	102.3	$	89.7		14	%	$	270.2	$	230.9		17	%

Consolidated net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2007 increased 14% to $102.3 million, as compared to $89.7 million for the corresponding period of the prior year. At comparable foreign currency exchange rates, net sales increased 9% for the period.

Consolidated net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased 17% to $270.2 million, as compared to $230.9 million for the corresponding period of the prior year. At comparable foreign currency exchange rates, net sales increase 12% for the period. The continued weakness of the US dollar relative to the euro gave rise to the difference between constant dollar and reported net sales.

European based prestige product sales increased 16% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 17% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year. Sales growth for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was driven by launches of our first Roxy fragrance and our new Paul Smith Rose fragrance line. Despite the high threshold set in 2006 with the launch of Burberry London, Burberry fragrance achieved sales growth of 5% and 11% (0% and 4% in constant dollars) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year.

In January 2007, we began operations pursuant to our exclusive, worldwide license with Van Cleef & Arpels Logistics SA, a prestigious and legendary world-renowned jewelry designer. The agreement runs through December 31, 2018, and the integration of the brand is now underway. Sales of existing products under the Van Cleef & Arpels brand aggregated approximately $4.0 million and $10.1 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, respectively.

During the first half of 2007 we began operations of our four newly established majority-owned European distribution subsidiaries. Shipments to these subsidiaries are not recognized as sales until that merchandise is sold by the distribution subsidiary to its customers. Sales have been slightly below expectations due to a slower than expected startup of our distribution subsidiaries and their build-up inventory in preparation for the new product launches and the holiday season.

Page 16

INTER PARFUMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

We are now preparing for a very active launch schedule for 2008 which begins in the first quarter of 2008, with a new fragrance family for Burberry fragrances. Our license with Quiksilver was recently amended to include men’s fragrance; the debut of the first Quiksilver fragrance is scheduled for September 2008. Other brands expecting new products include: Lanvin, Roxy, Paul Smith and Van Cleef & Arpels.

With respect to our United States specialty retail and mass-market products, net sales were up 4% and 16% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year. In early 2006, we began shipping Gap, Gap Outlet, Banana Republic and Banana Republic Factory Stores, their existing fragrance and personal care products. In August 2006 we launched the Banana Republic Discover Collection, a family of five fragrances which debuted in all Banana Republic North American stores in September. The initial collection consisted of three scents for women and two for men. Bath and body products as well as home fragrance products were also created to complement the fragrance selection. The Discover Collection was enlarged by two new scents in the fall of 2007, and the Banana Republic product selection continues to grow

In May 2007, over 150 Gap Body stores in the United States and Canada unveiled the more than 70 new bath and body products we created for them. The bath and body line was followed in the third quarter by new Gap eau de toilette products and men’s fragrance and grooming products. All product lines were rolled-out to approximately 200 Gap stores in August and approximately 300 Gap stores in October. Finally, we are in process of shipping a complete assortment of holiday programs for both Gap and Banana Republic North American stores.

Sales of mass market fragrances and fragrance related products have been in a decline for several years. We believe that rising oil and gas prices are a significant cause for declining sales in the dollar store markets, as dollar store customers have less disposable cash. Although we have no plans to discontinue sales to this market, we have been and continue to consolidate our product offerings.

In April 2007, we entered into an exclusive agreement with New York & Company, Inc. under which we design and manufacture personal care products to be sold at the New York & Company retail locations and on their website. The initial line of bath and body products designed and developed for New York & Company stores will be in their stores for the 2007 Holiday season.

In addition, we are actively pursuing other new business opportunities. However, we cannot assure you that any new license or acquisitions will be consummated.

	Three months ended September 30,						Nine months ended September 30,
	2007			2006			2007			2006

Net sales	$	102.3		$	89.7		$	270.2		$	230.9

INTER PARFUMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Gross profit margin was 59% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, respectively, as compared to 54% and 56% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006, respectively. The gross margin increases for both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 are the result of the commencement of operations of our newly established majority-owned European distribution subsidiaries. Sales of products from our European based prestige fragrances generate significantly higher gross profit margins than sales of our United States based specialty retail and mass-market products.

Generally, we do not bill customers for shipping and handling costs and such costs, which aggregated $1.8 million and $4.6 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, respectively, as compared to $1.4 million and $3.5 million for the corresponding period of the prior year, are included in selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of income. As such, our Company’s gross profit may not be comparable to other companies which may include these expenses as a component of cost of goods sold.

	Three months ended September 30,						Nine months ended September 30,
	2007			2006			2007			2006
	(in millions)

Selling, general & administrative	$	47.7		$	39.3		$	129.2		$	103.7
Selling, general & administrative as a percent of net sales		47	%		44	%		48	%		45	%

Selling, general and administrative expense increased 21% and 25% for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expense was 47% and 48% of sales for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007, respectively, as compared to 44% and 45% for the corresponding periods of the prior year.

Promotion and advertising included in selling, general and administrative expenses aggregated $15.9 million and $41.6 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, respectively, as compared to $13.1 million and $35.1 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods of the prior year. Royalty expense, included in selling, general, and administrative expenses, aggregated $9.1 million and $26.6 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, respectively, as compared to $10.5 million and $23.4 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods of the prior year. As previously reported, royalty expense for the three months ended September 30, 2006 includes a catch up amount of approx-imately $1.5 million resulting from the September 2006 Burberry license amendment which, among other matters, simplified the method of calculating royalties retroactive to January 1, 2006.

The balance of the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales for the 2007 periods as compared to the 2006 periods is the result of operating expenses related to our newly established majority-owned European distribution subsidiaries.

Income from operations increased 31% to $12.4 million for the for the three month period ended September 30, 2007, as compared to $9.4 million for the corresponding period of the prior year. Income from operations increased 24% to $31.0 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007, as compared to $25.0 million for the corresponding period of the prior year. Operating margins were 12.1% and 11.5% of net sales for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, respectively, as compared to 10.5% and 10.8% for the corresponding periods of the prior year.

Page 18

INTER PARFUMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Interest expense aggregated $0.9 million and $2.2 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, as compared to $0.3 million and $0.8 million for the corresponding periods of the prior year. We use the credit lines available to us, as needed, to finance our working capital needs. In addition, an €18 million and a €22 million long-term credit agreements were entered into in January 2007 and September 2007, respectively to finance payments required for the Van Cleef & Arpels license agreement and the acquisition of the Lanvin trademarks.

Foreign currency gains or (losses) aggregated $0.02 million and ($0.10) million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, respectively, as compared to gains of $0.07 million and $0.40 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006, respectively. We enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage exposure related to certain foreign currency commitments.

Our effective income tax rate was 34% and 33% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, respectively, as compared to 34% for both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006. Jurisdictions in which our new distribution subsidiaries operate carry slightly lower effective tax rates than France and the United States thereby reducing our overall effective tax rate. No significant changes in tax rates were experienced nor were any expected in the jurisdictions where we operate.

Net income increased 22% to $5.7 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2007, as compared to $4.6 million for the corresponding period of the prior year. Net income increased 24% to $15.2 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007, as compared to $12.3 million for the corresponding period of the prior year.

Diluted earnings per share were $0.27 and $0.23 for the three month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively and diluted earnings per share were $0.74 and $0.60 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Weighted average shares outstanding aggregated 20.4 million for both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, as compared to 20.3 million for both corresponding periods of the prior year. On a diluted basis, average shares outstanding were 20.7 million for both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, as compared to 20.5 million and 20.6 million for the corresponding periods of the prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our financial position remains strong. At September 30, 2007, working capital aggregated $172 million and we had a working capital ratio of 2.4 to 1. Cash and cash equivalents aggregated $54 million.

Page 19

INTER PARFUMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

In June 2007, the minority shareholders if Nickel S.A., a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, exercised their rights to sell their remaining 32.5% interest in Nickel S.A. to the Company for approximately $4.7 million in cash. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method.

In September 2006, we entered into an exclusive, worldwide license agreement with Van Cleef & Arpels Logistics SA, for the creation, development and distribution of fragrance and related bath and body products under the Van Cleef & Arpels brand and related trademarks. As an inducement to enter into this license agreement, in January 2007 we paid €18 million (approximately $23.8 million) to Van Cleef & Arpels Logistics SA in a lump sum, up front payment and we purchased existing inventory of approximately $2.1 million held by YSL Beauté, the former licensee. In January 2007, the up front payment was financed with an €18 million five-year credit agreement. The long-term credit facility, which bears interest at 4.1% provides for principal to be repaid in 20 equal quarterly installments.

Cash used in operating activities aggregated $8.7 million and $6.6 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. A significant inventory build up during the first nine months of 2007 (up 39% from December 31, 2006 without currency effect) is required to support the 2007 product launch schedule as well as the anticipated debut of the newest Burberry fragrance planned for the first quarter of 2008.

Cash flows used in investing activities in 2007, reflects the payment of $4.7 million for the remaining portion of Nickel S.A. and the $57.1 million payments required in connection with our acquisition of the Van Cleef & Arpels license agreement and the Lanvin trademarks. The proceeds from long-term debt facilities entered into in connection with these acquisitions are reflected in financing activities.

Cash flows used in investing activities in 2007 also reflects net proceeds of approximately $13 million from the sale of short-term investments which was used to finance our working capital needs. Approximately $1.8 million was spent for capital items. Our business is not capital intensive as we do not own any manufacturing facilities. We typically spend between $2.0 and $3.0 million per year on tools and molds, depending on our new product development calendar. The balance of capital expenditures is for office fixtures, computer equipment and industrial equipment needed at our distribution centers. Capital expenditures in 2007 are expected to be in the range of $2.5 million to $3.5 million, considering our 2007 launch schedule and the renovation of our United States corporate offices.

INTER PARFUMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

In December 2006, our board of directors authorized an increase of our cash dividend for 2007 from $0.16 to $0.20 per share, aggregating approximately $4.1 million per annum, payable $.05 per share on a quarterly basis. Our next cash dividend of $.05 per share will be paid on January 15, 2008 to shareholders of record on December 31, 2007. Dividends paid, including dividends paid once per year to minority shareholders of Inter Parfums, S.A., aggregated $4.5 million and $3.7 million for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The cash dividend for 2007 represents a small part of our cash position and is not expected to have any significant impact on our financial position.

Our short-term financing requirements are expected to be met by available cash on hand at September 30, 2007, cash generated by operations and short-term credit lines provided by domestic and foreign banks. The principal credit facilities for 2007 consist of a $12.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit provided by a domestic commercial bank and approximately $45.0 million in credit lines provided by a consortium of international financial institutions.

We believe that funds generated from operations, supplemented by our present cash position and available credit facilities, will provide us with sufficient resources to meet all present and reasonably foreseeable future operating needs.

Inflation rates in the U.S. and foreign countries in which we operate did not have a significant impact on operating results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007.

Contractual Obligations

We lease our office and warehouse facilities under operating leases expiring through 2013. Obligations pursuant to these leases for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and thereafter are $6.0 million, $6.1 million, $6.2 million, $6.0 million, $4.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively.

We are obligated under a number of license agreements for the use of trademarks and rights in connection with the manufacture and sale of our products. Royalty obligations pursuant to these license agreements for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and thereafter are $32.2 million, $33.3 million, $34.9 million, $35.4 million, $34.3 million and $201.0 million, respectively. Advertising commitments pursuant to license agreements for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and thereafter are $103.1 million, $111.5 million, $118.0 million, $114.0 million, $112.0 million and $707.3 million, respectively. Future advertising commitments were estimated based on planned future sales for the license terms that were in effect at December 31, 2006, without consideration for potential renewal periods. The figures included above do not reflect the fact that historically our distributors have shared our advertising obligations on an approximate 50/50 basis.

Item 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

General

We address certain financial exposures through a controlled program of risk management that primarily consists of the use of derivative financial instruments. Our French subsidiary primarily enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts in order to reduce the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. We do not engage in the trading of foreign currency forward exchange contracts or interest rate swaps.

Page 21

INTER PARFUMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Foreign Exchange Risk Management

We periodically enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge exposure related to receivables denominated in a foreign currency and to manage risks related to future sales expected to be denominated in a foreign currency. We enter into these exchange contracts for periods consistent with our identified exposures. The purpose of the hedging activities is to minimize the effect of foreign exchange rate movements on the receivables and cash flows of Inter Parfums, S.A., our French subsidiary, whose functional currency is the Euro. All foreign currency contracts are denominated in currencies of major industrial countries and are with large financial institutions, which are rated as strong investment grade.

All derivative instruments are required to be reflected as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet measured at fair value. Generally, increases or decreases in fair value of derivative instruments will be recognized as gains or losses in earnings in the period of change. If the derivative is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge, the changes in fair value of the derivative instrument will be recorded in other comprehensive income.

Before entering into a derivative transaction for hedging purposes, we determine that the change in the value of the derivative will effectively offset the change in the fair value of the hedged item from a movement in foreign currency rates. Then, we measure the effectiveness of each hedge throughout the hedged period. Any hedge ineffectiveness is recognized in the income statement.

We believe that our risk of loss as the result of nonperformance by any of such financial institutions is remote and in any event would not be material. The contracts have varying maturities with none exceeding one year. Costs associated with entering into such contracts have not been material to our financial results. At September 30, 2007, we had foreign currency contracts in the form of forward exchange contracts in the amount of approximately U.S. $40.1 million and GB Pounds 3.1 million.

Interest Rate Risk Management

We mitigate interest rate risk by continually monitoring interest rates, and then determining whether fixed interest rates should be swapped for floating rate debt, or if floating rate debt should be swapped for fixed rate debt. We have entered into two (2) interest rate swaps to reduce exposure to rising variable interest rates. The first swap, entered into in 2004, effectively exchanged the variable interest rate of 0.6% above the three month EURIBOR to a variable rate based on the 12 month EURIBOR rate with a floor of 3.25% and a ceiling of 3.85%. The remaining balance owed pursuant to this facility is €5.6 million. The second swap entered into in September 2007 on €22 million of debt, effectively exchanged the variable interest rate of 0.6% above the three month EURIBOR to a fixed rate of 4.42%. These derivative instruments are recorded at fair value and changes in fair value are reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
