Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.	Significant Accounting Policies:

The accounting policies we follow are set forth in the notes to our financial statements included in our Form 10-K which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2007. 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. Certain prior year amounts in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, including majority-owned Inter Parfums, S.A. (“IPSA”), a subsidiary whose stock is publicly traded in France. In June 2008, IPSA formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary, Inter Parfums (Suisse) SA, to hold and manage certain of its brand names. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

2.	New Accounting Pronouncements:

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as an amendment to SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS 161 requires that objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation. The fair value of derivative instruments and their gains and losses will need to be presented in tabular format in order to present a more complete picture of the effects of using derivative instruments. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS 161 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes requirements for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the Company (sometimes called “minority interests”) be clearly identified, presented, and disclosed in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity. All changes in the parent’s ownership interests are required to be accounted for consistently as equity transactions and any noncontrolling equity investments in deconsolidated subsidiaries must be measured initially at fair value. SFAS 160 is effective, on a prospective basis, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. However, presentation and disclosure requirements must be retrospectively applied to comparative financial statements and upon implementation, the Company will be required to classify its minority interests in equity in accordance with SFAS 160.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141(revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R provides revised guidance on how acquirers recognize and measure the consideration transferred, identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, noncontrolling interests, and goodwill acquired in a business combination. SFAS 141R also expands required disclosures surrounding the nature and financial effects of business combinations. SFAS 141R is effective, on a prospective basis, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS 141R on its consolidated financial statements. However, if additional minority interests are acquired after adoption of SFAS 141R, such transactions will be accounted for as equity transactions and not subject to purchase accounting.

3.	Shareholders’ Equity:

In May 2008, the board of directors of the Company authorized a three-for-two stock split effected in the form of a 50% stock dividend distributed on May 30, 2008 to shareholders of record as of May 15, 2008. As a result of the stock split, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect an increase in the number of outstanding shares of common stock and the transfer of the par value of these additional shares from paid-in capital. All share and per share amounts have been restated for all periods to reflect the retroactive effect of the stock split.

In February 2008, the board of directors of the Company had authorized a stock repurchase program and in February 2008, the Company repurchased 194,286 shares of its common stock at an average price of $11.35 per common share. In June 2008, the board of directors of the Company terminated the remainder of the February 2008 authorization and authorized a new stock repurchase program whereby the Company is authorized to repurchase a maximum of 500,000 shares of its common stock in the open market.

4.	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. Compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. 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 $0.59 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to $0.28 million and $0.56 million for the corresponding periods of the prior year. Employee stock-based compensation reduced net income by $0.16 million and $0.33 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to $0.14 million and $0.28 million for the corresponding periods of the prior year.

The following table summarizes stock option information as of June 30, 2008:

	Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price

Outstanding at January 1, 2008		1,206,600		$	12.29
Granted		165,000			11.30
Exercised		(27,150	)		7.80

Options available for future grants		1,027,694

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

4.	Share-Based Payments (continued):

As of June 30, 2008, the weighted average remaining contractual life of options outstanding is 2.8 years (1.44 years for options exercisable), the aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding is $3.8 million ($2.5 million for options exercisable) and unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options outstanding on Inter Parfums, Inc. stock aggregated $1.8 million. The amount of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options outstanding of our majority owned subsidiary, Inter Parfums S.A., was €0.7 million. Options under Inter Parfums, S.A. plans vest over a four year period and no options were granted by Inter Parfums, S.A. during the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007.

Cash proceeds, tax benefits and intrinsic value related to stock options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 were as follows:

(In thousands)	June 30, 2008		June 30, 2007

Cash proceeds from stock options exercised	$	212	$	20
Tax benefits		–		–
Intrinsic value of stock options exercised		136		29

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 six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $5.53 and $5.18 per share, respectively, on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: dividend yield 1.2% in 2008 and 1.0% in 2007; volatility of 39% in 2008 and 26% in 2007; risk-free interest rates at the date of grant, 2.7% in 2008 and 5.0% in 2007; and an expected life of the option of 4.5 years in 2008 and 4.0 years in 2007. The Company uses the simplified method in developing its estimate of the expected term of the option and expected volatility is estimated using historical volatility.

10.

Acquisition of Minority Interests:

In January, February and May 2008, we acquired an additional 3.6% interest in Inter Parfums S.A., our majority owned French subsidiary, from its minority shareholders for approximately $18.5 million in cash. The allocation of the purchase price was as follows:

Trademarks	$	15,458
Minority interest		8,356
Deferred tax liability		(5,321	)
Total	$	18,493

The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method and brings our ownership interest in Inter Parfums S.A. to approximately 75%.

11.

Entry Into Definitive Agreements:

[1] In April 2008, we expanded our current relationship with Gap Inc. with the signing of a licensing agreement for international distribution of personal care products through Gap and Banana Republic stores as well as select specialty and department stores outside the United States, including duty-free and other travel related retailers. The agreement is effective through December 31, 2011.

[2] In July 2008, we entered into an exclusive six year worldwide agreement with bebe stores, inc. under which we will design, manufacture and supply fragrance, bath and body products and color cosmetics for company-owned bebe stores in the United States and Canada as well as select specialty and department stores worldwide.

[3] In July 2008, our license to create, produce and distribute perfumes and cosmetics under the Paul Smith brand, originally signed in December 1998, was extended for an additional seven years through December 31, 2017 on comparable terms and conditions.

12.

Fair Value Measurement:

The Company has certain instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and believes that these instruments fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. As of June 30, 2008, the Company held foreign currency forward exchange contracts which had a net fair value of $1.0 million based on quotations from financial institutions and interest rate swaps with a fair value liability of $0.5 million based on the discounted net present value of the swaps using third party quotes obtained from financial institutions.

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 75% owned subsidiary in Paris, Inter Parfums, S.A., which is also a publicly traded company as 25% of Inter Parfums, S.A. shares trade on the Euronext. Prestige cosmetics and prestige skin care products represent less than 3% of consolidated net sales.

We produce and distribute our prestige products primarily under license agreements with brand owners and European based prestige product sales represented approximately 88% of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2008. 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 60% and 58% of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Our specialty retail and mass-market fragrance and fragrance related products are marketed through our United States operations and represented 12% of net sales for the six month period ended June 30, 2008. 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, Brooks Brothers and Jordache trademarks.

Prior to 2007, seasonality was not a major influence to our sales. However, with the establishment in 2007 of our four majority-owned European distribution subsidiaries and our growing specialty retail product lines, sales have been, and are expected to continue to be more concentrated in the second half of the year.

INTER PARFUMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

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

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 the finished goods for us and ship them back to our distribution center.

Recent Important Events

bebe stores, inc.

In July 2008, we entered into an exclusive six year worldwide agreement with bebe stores, inc. under which we will design, manufacture and supply fragrance, bath and body products and color cosmetics for company-owned bebe stores in the United States and Canada as well as select specialty and department stores worldwide.

Gap and Banana Republic International

In April 2008, we expanded our current relationship with Gap Inc. with the signing of a licensing agreement for international distribution of personal care products through Gap and Banana Republic stores as well as select specialty and department stores outside the United States, including duty-free and other travel related retailers. The agreement is effective through December 31, 2011.

Acquisition of Minority Interests

During the period December 2007 through May 2008, we acquired an additional 4.8% interest in Inter Parfums, S.A., our majority owned French subsidiary, from its minority shareholders for approximately $24.8 million in cash. The allocation of the aggregate purchase price was as follows:

Trademarks	$	20,927
Minority interest		11,080
Deferred tax liability		(7,204	)
Total	$	24,803

The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method and brings our ownership interest in Inter Parfums, S.A. to approximately 75%.

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.

Page 12

INTER PARFUMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

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 we incur for performance based arrangements, shelf replacement costs and slotting fees are netted against revenues on our 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.

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.

Page 13

INTER PARFUMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

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 Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 as Compared to the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2007

Net sales	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,
(In millions)	2008		% Change		2007		2008		% Change		2007

European based product sales	$	83.9		19%	$	70.5	$	194.4		33%	$	146.0

United States based product sales		15.2		23%		12.3		27.8		27%		21.9

Total net sales	$	99.1		20%	$	82.8	$	222.2		32%	$	167.9

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2008 increased 20% to $99.1 million, as compared to $82.8 million for the corresponding period of the prior year. At comparable foreign currency exchange rates, net sales increased 12% for the period. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased 32% to $222.2 million, as compared to $167.9 million for the corresponding period of the prior year. At comparable foreign currency exchange rates, net sales increased 24% for the period. The 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 19% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 33% for the six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year. Burberry fragrances continued to drive sales growth with an increase of 19% and 37% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year. Such growth is the result of the successful launch of Burberry The Beat coupled with good performance by the brand’s existing lines. Despite the challenging economic environment, European based prestige product sales showed strong growth in both mature markets like Western Europe increasing 21% in local currency and newer markets like Asia, up 30% in local currency for the six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year.

In January 2007, we began operations pursuant to our exclusive, worldwide license with Van Cleef & Arpels Logistics SA. Sales of products under the Van Cleef & Arpels brand also contributed to growth in European based product sales and aggregated $6.0 million and $13.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to $3.3 million and $6.1 million for the corresponding periods of the prior year.

We are in the midst of a very active launch schedule for 2008 which began in the first quarter with a new fragrance family for Burberry fragrances. In addition to several limited edition flankers that were launched during the first six months of 2008, beginning in September, we plan to launch new families of fragrances under the Lanvin, Van Cleef & Arpels, and ST Dupont brand names. Our license with Quiksilver, which launched a suncare collection in the spring of 2008, was amended to include men’s fragrances; the debut of the first Quiksilver fragrance is scheduled for an early 2009 debut.

With respect to our United States specialty retail and mass-market products, net sales were up 23% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 27% for the six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year. After launching products for Banana Republic’s North American stores in 2006, in May 2007, over 150 Gap Body stores in the United States and Canada unveiled more than 70 new bath and body products we created for them. The bath and body line was followed in August 2007 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. In addition, we prepared a complete assortment of holiday programs for Gap and Banana Republic North American stores.

The increase in United States based product sales also reflects international distribution of Gap and Banana Republic product. As recently announced, we have expanded our current relationship with Gap Inc. with the signing of a licensing agreement for international distribution of personal care products through Gap and Banana Republic stores as well as select specialty and department stores outside the United States, including duty-free and other travel related retailers. The agreement is effective through December 31, 2011.

New product introductions are in the works for New York & Company, and pursuant to our exclusive agreement with Brooks Brothers, we are well under way in our plans to design, manufacture and supply personal care products for men and women to be sold at Brooks Brothers locations in the United States as well as Brooks Brothers stores and specialty retail and department stores outside the United States, including duty free and other travel-related retailers. We anticipate having new products available for Brooks Brothers US stores in time for the 2008 holiday season and internationally in 2009.

Sales of mass market fragrance 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. Sales to this market aggregated approximately $5.0 million and $9.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to $6.5 million and $11.6 million for the corresponding periods of the prior year. We have no plans to discontinue sales to this market, because such sales continue to contribute to the absorption of the overhead of our United States based operations. However, we have and will continue to consolidate our product offerings.

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

Gross margin	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,
(In millions)	2008			2007			2008			2007

Net sales	$	99.1		$	82.8		$	222.2		$	167.9
Cost of sales		43.1			34.7			92.2			67.8

Gross margin	$	56.0		$	48.1		$	130.0		$	100.1

Gross margin as a percent of net sales		57	%		58	%		59	%		60	%

Gross profit margin was 57% and 59% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to 58% and 60% for the corresponding periods of the prior year. Sales of product from our European based prestige fragrance operations, consistently generate higher gross profit margins than sales of our United States based specialty retail and mass-market products. Gross margins were relatively consistent with that of the prior year among all of our product lines. The small decline in 2008 is the effect the decline of the US dollar against the euro has on our European based product sales to United States customers. Sales to these customers are denominated in dollars while our costs are incurred in euros.

Generally, we do not bill customers for shipping and handling costs and such costs, which aggregated $1.6 million and $3.2 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to $1.4 million and $2.8 million for the corresponding periods 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.

Selling, general & administrative expenses	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,
(In millions)	2008			2007			2008			2007

Selling, general & administrative expenses	$	49.1		$	41.4		$	104.1		$	81.5

Selling, general & administrative expenses as a percent of net sales		50	%		50	%		47	%		49	%

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 19% and 28% for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 50% and 47% of sales for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to 50% and 49% for the corresponding periods of the prior year.

Promotion and advertising included in selling, general and administrative expenses aggregated $18.5 million and $35.1 million for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to $13.2 million and $25.7 million for the corresponding periods of the prior year. Although our 2008 first quarter sales include a significant contribution from the launch of Burberry, The Beat, the advertising expenditure requirements pursuant to our license with Burberry does not require such spending to be incurred until our distributors sell such product to retailers. As a result, promotion and advertising represented 18.7% of sales for the three month period ended June 30, 2008 as compared to 13.5% of net sales for the three month period ended March 31, 2008. Royalty expense, included in selling, general, and administrative expenses, aggregated $7.9 million and $20.1 million for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to $7.9 million and $17.5 million for the corresponding periods of the prior year.

INTER PARFUMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Income from operations was $6.8 million for both the three-month period ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. Income from operations increased 39% to $26.0 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $18.6 million for the corresponding period of the prior year. Operating margins were 6.9% and 11.7% of net sales for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to 8.2% and 11.1% for the corresponding periods of the prior year.

Interest expense aggregated $0.4 million and $1.4 million for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to $0.6 million and $1.2 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. An €18 million and a €22 million five-year credit facility 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 (losses) aggregated $0.2 million and ($0.2) million for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to ($0.0) million and ($0.1) million for the corresponding periods of the prior year. We enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage exposure related to certain foreign currency commitments.

Our effective income tax rate was 38% and 39% for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to 31% and 33% for the corresponding periods of the prior year. Our effective tax rates differ from statutory rates due to the effect of state and local taxes and tax rates in foreign jurisdictions which are slightly higher than those in the United States. The increase in our effective rate in 2008 resulted primarily from valuation allowances that have been provided in 2008 on deferred tax assets relating to foreign net operating loss carryforwards, as future profitable operations from our four European based distribution subsidiaries is not assured. No significant changes in tax rates were experienced nor were any expected in jurisdictions where we operate.

Net income was $3.8 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $3.7 million for the corresponding period of the prior year. Net income increased 31% to $12.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $9.5 million for the corresponding period of the prior year.

Diluted earnings per share were $0.12 for both the three month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 and diluted earnings per share were $0.40 and $0.31 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Weighted average shares outstanding aggregated 30.6 million and 30.7 million for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to 30.7 million for both corresponding periods of the prior year. On a diluted basis, average shares outstanding were 30.9 million for both the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008, as compared to 31.1 million and 31.0 million for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007, respectively. In May 2008, our board of directors authorized a three-for-two stock split effected in the form of a 50% stock dividend distributed on May 30, 2008 to shareholders of record as of May 15, 2008. All share and per share amounts have been restated for all periods to reflect the retroactive effect of the stock split.

INTER PARFUMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our financial position remains strong. At June 30, 2008, working capital aggregated $175 million and we had a working capital ratio in excess of 2.0 to 1. Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments aggregated $49 million.

Cash used in operating activities aggregated $16.1 million and $1.8 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. In terms of cash flows, for the six month period ended June 30, 2008, inventories grew 37%. As previously mentioned, 2008 is one of the most aggressive years for our company in terms of new product launches. Although Burberry, The Beat initially launched during the first quarter of 2008, additional geographic expansion is still underway. In addition, we are preparing for the third quarter 2008 new fragrance family launches for Lanvin, Van Cleef & Arpels, ST Dupont and Nickel.

Cash flows used in investing activities in 2008, reflects the purchase of an additional 3.6% interest in Inter Parfums, S.A., our majority owned French subsidiary, from its minority shareholders for approximately $18.5 million in cash. The acquisition brings our ownership interest in Inter Parfums, S.A. to approximately 75%.

Cash flows used in investing activities in 2008 also reflects payments of approximately $1.9 million 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 2008 are expected to be in the range of $2.5 million to $3.5 million, considering our 2008 launch schedule.

In December 2007, our board of directors authorized the continuation of our cash dividend of $0.132 per share for 2008, aggregating approximately $4.1 million per annum, payable $.033 per share on a quarterly basis. Our next cash dividend for 2008 will be paid on October 15, 2008 to shareholders of record on September 30, 2008. Dividends paid, including dividends paid once per year to minority shareholders of Inter Parfums, S.A., aggregated $3.8 million and $3.4 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The cash dividend for 2008 represents a small part of our cash position and is not expected to have any significant impact on our financial position.

Page 19

INTER PARFUMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

In February 2008, our board of directors authorized a stock repurchase program whereby our Company is authorized to repurchase a maximum of 750,000 shares of its common stock in the open market. In February 2008, we repurchased 194,286 shares of our common stock at an average price of $11.35 per common share.

Our short-term financing requirements are expected to be met by available cash and short-term investments on hand at June 30, 2008, cash generated by operations and short-term credit lines provided by domestic and foreign banks. The principal credit facilities for 2008 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 three month period ended June 30, 2008.

Contractual Obligations

We lease our office and warehouse facilities under operating leases which are subject to escalation clauses and expire at various dates through 2014. Minimum future annual rental payments for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and thereafter are $6.7 million, $6.8 million, $6.6 million, $5.1 million, $1.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

Our company is party to a number of license agreements for the use of trademarks and rights in connection with the manufacture and sale of our products expiring at various dates through 2018. In connection with certain of these license agreements, we are subject to minimal annual advertising commitments, minimum annual royalties and other commitments which for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and thereafter are $143 million, $151 million, $159 million, $155 million, $163 million and $763 million, respectively. Future advertising commitments are estimated based on planned future sales for the license terms that were in effect at December 31, 2007, without consideration for potential renewal periods. The figures included above do not reflect the fact that historically our distributors have shared in our advertising obligations.

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 20

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 June 30, 2008, we had foreign currency contracts in the form of forward exchange contracts in the amount of approximately U.S. $39.0 million and GB Pounds 1.8 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 €3.2 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%. The remaining balance owed pursuant to this facility is €18.7 million. These derivative instruments are recorded at fair value and changes in fair value are reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on their review and evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our Company's disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective to ensure that material information relating to our Company and its consolidated subsidiaries would be made known to them by others within those entities, so that such material information is recorded, processed and reported in a timely manner, particularly during the period in which this quarterly report on Form 10-Q was being prepared, and that no changes were required at this time.

Changes in Internal Controls

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarterly period covered by this report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information

Items 1. Legal Proceedings, 1A. Risk Factors, 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities and 5. Other Information, are omitted as they are either not applicable or have been included in Part I.

For the period consisting of the date of the filing, May 6, 2008, of our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, through the date of this report, we issued the following unregistered equity securities.
