Business and Basis of Presentation	Business and Basis of Presentation Michael Kors Holdings Limited (“MKHL,” and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) on December 13, 2002. The Company is a leading designer, marketer, distributor and retailer of branded women’s apparel and accessories and men’s apparel bearing the Michael Kors tradename and related trademarks “MICHAEL KORS,” “MICHAEL MICHAEL KORS,” and various other related trademarks and logos. The Company’s business consists of retail, wholesale and licensing segments. Retail operations consist of collection stores and lifestyle stores, including concessions and outlet stores, located primarily in the Americas (United States, Canada and Latin America), Europe and Japan, as well as e-commerce. Wholesale revenues are principally derived from major department and specialty stores located throughout the Americas and Europe. The Company licenses its trademarks on products such as fragrances, beauty, eyewear, leather goods, jewelry, watches, coats, men’s suits, swimwear, furs and ties, as well as through geographic licenses. The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements as of September 26, 2015, and for the three and six months ended September 26, 2015 and September 27, 2014, are unaudited. In addition, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The interim financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended March 28, 2015, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 27, 2015, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the interim periods should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The Company has historically accounted for its investment in its Latin American joint venture, MK (Panama) Holdings, S.A. and subsidiaries (“MK Panama”), under the equity method of accounting. During the second quarter of Fiscal 2016, the Company made a series of capital contributions to the joint venture, obtaining a controlling interest in MK Panama. As such, the Company consolidated MK Panama into its operations beginning with the second quarter of Fiscal 2016. See Note 3 for additional information. The Company utilizes a 52 to 53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to March 31. As such, the term “Fiscal Year” or “Fiscal” refers to the 52-week or 53-week period, ending on that day. The results for the three and six months ended September 26, 2015 and September 27, 2014, are based on 13-week and 26-week periods, respectively.
