6. Litigation:
As previously reported, Inter Parfums S.A., the Company's majority owned
French subsidiary ("IP France"), is a party to litigation with Jean
Charles Brosseau, S.A. ("Brosseau"), the licensor of the Ombre Rose
trademark. The licensor has claimed damages of approximately $7.0 million
and is seeking termination of the license agreement.
In October 1999, IP France received notice of a judgement in favor of
Brosseau, which awarded damages of approximately $600,000, and which
directed IP France to turn over its license to Brosseau within six months.
IP France is appealing the judgment as it vigorously and categorically
denies the claims of Brosseau, and believes that it has meritorious
defenses to such claims. The payment of the judgement has been stayed, and
IP France can continue to operate under the license agreement during the
appeal process. The Company has been advised by its special litigation
counsel that, in its opinion, it is unlikely that the monetary judgment
will be sustained on appeal, or that any final, substantial monetary
judgement will be entered against IP France. Management does not believe
that such litigation will have any material adverse effect on the
financial condition or operations of the Company.

Item 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The Company is a leading manufacturer and distributor of fragrances, cosmetics
and personal care products, where innovation and creativity are combined to
produce quality products for our customers around the world.
The Company specializes in prestige fragrances (62% of net sales for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999) and consumer fragrances and cosmetics:
o Prestige products -- For each prestige brand, owned or licensed, the
Company creates an original concept for the perfume consistent with world
market trends;
o Consumer products -- The Company designs, markets and distributes
inexpensive fragrances and personal care products including alternative
designer fragrances and mass market cosmetics. The Company also designs,
markets and distributes a broad range of inexpensive fragrances,
highlighting the "Made in France" label.
Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 as Compared to the Three
and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 1999 were $21.7 million, as
compared to $22.5 million for the corresponding period of the prior year. Net
sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 were $63.4 million, as
compared to $67.4 million for the corresponding period of the prior year. At
comparable foreign currency exchange rates, net sales for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 were virtually unchanged from that of the corresponding
period of the prior year.
For the three months ended September 30, 1999, net sales within the Company's
prestige fragrance lines declined 3.5%, as compared to the corresponding period
of the prior year. Theses results were in line with management's expectations as
no new product launches were scheduled for the period. While several new
prestige fragrance projects are on the drawing board, with the exception of the
Company's Christian Lacroix product line which was launched in October 1999, all
have target launch dates in the year 2000. These projects include, the launch of
the Company's Paul Smith fragrance line, two new perfume lines under the
Burberry name, as well as two new perfume lines under the S.T. Dupont name.
Page 7
<PAGE>
INTER PARFUMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
In October 1999, the Company launched its first Christian Lacroix product line,
pursuant to an exclusive license agreement entered into with the Christian
Lacroix Company, a division of LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton S.A. ("LVMH").
In addition, as previously reported LVMH has taken a significant equity position
in the Company. This new association, with the worlds largest luxury goods
manufacturer is expected to further strengthen the Company's position in
prestige fragrance distribution. (See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" for
further discussion of the contemplated transaction with LVMH).
Management is also actively pursuing new license agreements to build upon the
strength of its existing portfolio.
Net sales within the Company's consumer products lines declined only 4.2% for
the three months ended September 30, 1999, as compared to the corresponding
period of the prior year. This result is a significant improvement from the
decline of 23% reported for the six months ended June 30, 1999. As previously
reported, the downward trend resulted from the economic situation in Eastern
Europe, Brazil and other Latin American countries. Further, the market for the
Company's consumer products has been very price sensitive and the consolidation
of customers through numerous announced mergers of mass market customers also
affected sales as customers reduced inventory levels and eliminated duplicate
vendors. This trend appears to be leveling off, and we may see a gradual
reversal of this trend over the next several quarters.
Gross profit margins increased to 46% and 47% of net sales for the three and
nine month periods ended September 30, 1999, respectively, as compared to 45%
and 46% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1998,
respectively. Gross profit margins have remained relatively constant for the
past two years. However, the Company has seen some gross profit margin
improvement as a result of the strength of the US dollar relative to the French
franc, as certain European sales are denominated in US dollars. The Company's
prestige fragrance lines continue to generate a slightly higher gross profit
margin than the Company's consumer product lines and these gross profit margin
benefits have offset the negative affect of lower margin consumer product sales
and closeout sales.
Selling, general and administrative expenses declined to $7.6 million for the
three months ended September 30, 1999, as compared to $8.0 million for the
corresponding period of the prior year and declined to 35% of sales in the 1999
period, as compared to 36% in the 1998 period. Selling, general and
administrative expenses declined to $23.0 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, as compared to $24.4 million for the corresponding period of
the prior year and aggregated 36% of sales in both periods.
Page 8
<PAGE>
INTER PARFUMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Domestic selling, general and administrative expenses declined to $2.3 million
for the three months ended September 30, 1999, as compared to $2.9 million for
the corresponding period of the prior year. Selling, general and administrative
expenses declined to 30% of net sales for the three months ended September 30,
1999, as compared to 38% of net sales for the corresponding period of the prior
year. As a result of weak domestic consumer product sales, management has
instituted extraordinarily tight controls in an effort to keep spending in line
with sales.
Selling, general and administrative expenses incurred by IP France were $5.3
million for the three months ended September 30, 1999, as compared to $5.2
million for the corresponding period of the prior year. Some savings have been
achieved in distribution and freight costs. However, a reasonable level of
advertising is necessary to support the Company's growing portfolio of prestige
fragrance brands and to build upon each brand's awareness.
Interest expense was $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1999, respectively, which is consistent with that
incurred in the corresponding 1998 periods. The Company uses its credit lines,
as needed, to finance its working capital needs.
On occasion, the Company enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts
as a hedge for short-term inter company borrowings, and for receivables to be
collected in a foreign currency. Such investments did not have any material
effect on the Company's results of operations for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998.
The Company's effective income tax rate was 39% and 40% for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 1999, respectively, as compared to 37% and 40%
for the corresponding periods of the prior year. The effective tax rate for the
three months ended September 30, 1998 reflects the tax benefit to be realized as
a result of the Company's decision to close its Brazilian subsidiary.
Net income increased 12% to $1.2 million for the three months ended September
30, 1999, as compared to $1.1 million for the corresponding period of the prior
year. Earnings per diluted share increased 25% to $0.15 for the three months
ended September 30, 1999, as compared to $0.12 for the corresponding period of
the prior year.
Net income was $3.45 million for both the nine months ended September 30, 1999
and the corresponding period of the prior year. Earnings per diluted share
increased 13% to $0.43 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, as compared
to $0.38 for the corresponding period of the prior year.
Page 9
<PAGE>
INTER PARFUMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Weighted average shares outstanding aggregated 7.4 million and 7.6 million for
the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999, respectively, as
compared to 8.7 million and 8.8 million for the three and nine month periods
ended September 30, 1998, respectively. On a diluted basis, average shares
outstanding were 8.2 million and 8.0 million for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1999, respectively, as compared to 8.9 million and
9.0 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1998,
respectively. Such decline is the result of the Company's ongoing stock
repurchase program.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As a result of continued profitable operating results, the Company's financial
position remains very strong. At September 30, 1999, working capital aggregated
$45 million with a working capital ratio of almost 3 to 1. The Company had cash
and cash equivalents on hand of $18 million, and its net book value aggregated
$6.43 per outstanding share as of September 30, 1999. Furthermore, the Company
had virtually no long-term debt.
In addition, and as previously reported, LV Capital USA, Inc. ('LV Capital"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of LVMH, and the two principal shareholders of the
Company, reached an agreement in principle for LV Capital to increase its equity
ownership of the Company to approximately 20% of the outstanding shares at
$12.00 per share, by purchasing outstanding shares held by the principal
shareholders, and shares underlying outstanding options. LV Capital has already
purchased, in the open market, approximately 10.5% of the outstanding shares of
the Company. At closing, which is expected to occur prior to December 31, 1999,
the Company is to receive proceeds of approximately $4.0 million, as a result of
the exercise of stock options.
The agreement in principle, is subject to the execution and delivery of formal,
written agreements, and routine closing conditions, including regulatory
compliance.
The contemplated agreements acknowledge that the Company has become a successful
player and competitor in the prestige fragrance industry, which has been
evidenced in large part by its success in the upscale fragrance market with
Burberry and ST Dupont, and the recent licenses signed with the British
designer, Paul Smith and the French couture designer Christian Lacroix. The
Company is hopeful that this strategic alliance with LVMH will bring further
opportunities to the Company in licensing and distribution.

INTER PARFUMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
The Company is confident in the long-term growth potential of its business. As
such, it has consistently used its common stock repurchase program in an effort
to increase shareholder value. During the nine month period ended September 30,
1999, the Company continued to repurchase its shares. During such period the
Company repurchased 1,145,200 shares of its common stock at an average purchase
price of $6.76.
The Company's short-term financing requirements are expected to be met by
available cash at September 30, 1999, cash generated by operations and
short-term credit lines provided by domestic and foreign banks. The principal
credit facilities for 1999 are a $12.0 million unsecured revolving line of
credit provided by a domestic commercial bank and approximately $12.0 million in
credit lines provided by a consortium of international financial institutions.
Cash provided by operating activities aggregated $2.9 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to a use of cash for operating
activities of $0.5 million for the corresponding period of the prior year. Cash
provided by operating activities continues to be the primary source of funds to
finance operating needs, investments in new ventures, as well as to finance the
Company's stock repurchase program.
Management of the Company believes that funds generated from operations,
supplemented by its present cash position and available credit facilities, will
provide it with sufficient resources to meet all present and reasonably
foreseeable future operating needs.
The Company has substantially completed all projects to address "Year 2000"
compliance with respect to its internal information systems. As such, management
believes that "Year 2000" transition will not have a material adverse effect on
future results.
In January 1999, certain member countries of the European Union established
permanent fixed rates between their existing currencies and the European Union's
common currency ("the Euro"). The transition period for the introduction of the
Euro is scheduled to phase in over a period ending January 1, 2002. The
introduction of the Euro and the phasing out of the other currencies should not
have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Inflation rates in the U.S. and foreign countries in which the Company operates
have not had a significant impact on operating results for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999.

Company's majority owned French subsidiary ("IP France"), regarding the Ombre
Rose fragrance license in the French Commercial Court of Paris in February 1997
by the licensor, Jean Charles Brosseau, S.A. ("Brosseau"). IP France asserted
claims against Brosseau for interference with its distributors. In response,
Brosseau then claimed damages of approximately $7 million against IP France,
allegedly for the decreased value of his fragrance brands.
In October 1999, IP France received notice of a judgement in favor of Brosseau,
which awarded damages of approximately $600,000, and which directed IP France to
turn over its license to Brosseau within six months.
IP France is appealing the judgment as it vigorously and categorically denies
the claims of Brosseau, and believes that it has meritorious defenses to such
claims. Payment of the judgement has been stayed, and IP France can continue to
operate under the license agreement during the appeal process. The Company has
been advised by its special litigation counsel that, in its opinion, it is
unlikely that the monetary judgment will be sustained on appeal, or that any
final, substantial monetary judgement will be entered against IP France.
Management does not believe that such litigation will have any material adverse
effect on the financial condition or operations of the Company.
