NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unless otherwise noted, all amounts are in thousands, except per share amounts)

(Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Fifth & Pacific Companies, Inc. and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”) included herein have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted from this report, as is permitted by such rules and regulations; however, the Company believes that its disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Information presented as of December 31, 2011 is derived from audited financial statements.

Effective May 14, 2012, the Company completed its previously announced corporate name change from Liz Claiborne, Inc. to better communicate its strategic focus on growing its three global lifestyle brands (JUICY COUTURE, KATE SPADE and LUCKY BRAND) and reflect the sale of the LIZ CLAIBORNE brand to J.C. Penney Corporation, Inc. (“JCPenney”), among other recent transactions. The Company’s stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) as Fifth & Pacific Companies, Inc. under the symbol “FNP.”

·	JUICY COUTURE segment – consists of the specialty retail, outlet, concession, wholesale apparel, wholesale non-apparel (including accessories, jewelry and handbags), e-commerce and licensing operations of the JUICY COUTURE brand.
·	KATE SPADE segment – consists of the specialty retail, outlet, wholesale apparel, wholesale non-apparel, e-commerce and licensing operations of the KATE SPADE and JACK SPADE brands.
·	LUCKY BRAND segment – consists of the specialty retail, outlet, wholesale apparel, wholesale non-apparel, e-commerce and licensing operations of LUCKY BRAND.
·	Adelington Design Group & Other segment – consists of: (i) exclusive arrangements to supply jewelry for the DANA BUCHMAN, LIZ CLAIBORNE and MONET brands; (ii) the wholesale non-apparel operations of the TRIFARI brand and licensed KENSIE brand; (iii) the wholesale apparel and wholesale non-apparel operations of the licensed LIZWEAR brand and other brands; and (iv) the licensed LIZ CLAIBORNE NEW YORK brand.

The operations of the Company’s AXCESS brand concluded with Kohl’s Corporation (“Kohl’s”) in Fall 2011 and the operations of its former licensed DKNY® Jeans family of brands concluded in January 2012. Each was included in the results of the Adelington Design Group & Other segment.

On November 2, 2011, the Company sold the global trademark rights for the LIZ CLAIBORNE family of brands and the trademark rights in the US and Puerto Rico for the MONET brand to JCPenney for $267.5 million. The transaction provided for the sale of domestic and international trademark rights for LIZ CLAIBORNE, CLAIBORNE, LIZ, LIZ & CO., CONCEPTS BY CLAIBORNE, LC, ELISABETH, LIZGOLF, LIZSPORT, LIZ CLAIBORNE NEW YORK and LIZWEAR and the sale of the trademark rights in the US and Puerto Rico for MONET. The LIZ CLAIBORNE NEW YORK and LIZWEAR trademarks are licensed back royalty-free to the Company until July 2020. Further, the Company serves as the exclusive supplier of jewelry to JCPenney for the LIZ CLAIBORNE and MONET brands. The transaction also included receipt by the Company of an advance of $20.0 million (refundable to JCPenney under certain circumstances) in exchange for its agreement to develop exclusive brands for JCPenney by Spring 2014.

On October 31, 2011, the Company completed a transaction (the “MEXX Transaction”) with affiliates of The Gores Group, LLC (“Gores”), pursuant to which the Company sold its global MEXX business to a company (“NewCo”) in which the Company indirectly

holds an 18.75% interest and affiliates of Gores hold an 81.25% interest, for cash consideration, subject to working capital adjustments, of $85.0 million, including revolving credit facility debt that was assumed by NewCo. The assets and liabilities of the global MEXX business were reported as held for sale as of October 1, 2011. The operating loss associated with the Company’s former International-Based Direct Brands segment included allocated corporate expenses that could not be reported as discontinued operations and therefore were reported in the Company’s segment results.

On October 24, 2011, the Company sold its KENSIE, KENSIE GIRL and MAC & JAC trademarks to an affiliate of Bluestar Alliance LLC (“Bluestar”). On October 11, 2011, the Company sold its DANA BUCHMAN trademark to Kohl’s. The aggregate cash proceeds of these two transactions were $39.8 million. The Company will serve as the exclusive supplier of jewelry to Kohl’s for the DANA BUCHMAN brand through October 11, 2013. The Company also entered an exclusive license agreement to produce and sell jewelry under the KENSIE brand name.

In December 2011, the Company substantially completed the exit of its 277 MONET concessions in Europe.

During the first quarter of 2011, the Company completed the closure of 82 LIZ CLAIBORNE concessions in Europe, which included the exit and transfer of title to property and equipment of certain locations in exchange for a nominal fee.

In January 2011, the Company completed the closure of 87 LIZ CLAIBORNE branded outlet stores in the US and Puerto Rico.

The activities of the Company’s global MEXX business, its KENSIE, KENSIE GIRL and MAC & JAC brands, its closed LIZ CLAIBORNE outlet stores in the US and Puerto Rico, closed LIZ CLAIBORNE concessions in Europe and closed MONET concessions in Europe have been segregated and reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The Company continues activities with the LIZ CLAIBORNE family of brands, MONET brand and DANA BUCHMAN brand and therefore the activities of those brands have not been presented as discontinued operations.

Summarized financial data for the aforementioned brands that are classified as discontinued operations are provided in Note 2 – Discontinued Operations.

In the opinion of management, the information furnished reflects all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the reported interim periods. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Management has evaluated events or transactions that have occurred from the balance sheet date through the date the Company issued these financial statements.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Fifth & Pacific Companies, Inc. is engaged primarily in the design and marketing of a broad range of apparel and accessories. The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to December 31. The 2012 fiscal year, ending December 29, 2012, reflects a 52-week period, resulting in a 13-week, three-month period and a 39-week, nine-month period for the third quarter. The 2011 fiscal year, ending December 31, 2011, reflects a 52-week period, resulting in a 13-week, three-month period and a 39-week, nine-month period for the third quarter.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

USE OF ESTIMATES AND CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company’s critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of its financial condition and results of operations in conformity with US GAAP. These critical accounting policies are applied in a consistent manner. The Company’s critical accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

The application of critical accounting policies requires that the Company make estimates and assumptions about future events and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Estimates by their nature are based on judgments and available information. Therefore, actual results could materially differ from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. The Company continues to monitor the critical accounting policies to ensure proper application of current rules and regulations. During the third quarter of 2012, there were no significant changes in the critical accounting policies discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2011, new accounting guidance on fair value measurements was issued, which requires updates to fair value measurement disclosures to conform US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. This guidance includes additional disclosure requirements about Level 3 fair value measurements and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of the new guidance did not affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows, but required additional disclosure (see Note 9 – Fair Value Measurements).

2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The Company has completed various disposal transactions including: (i) the closure of the LIZ CLAIBORNE branded outlet stores in the US and Puerto Rico in January 2011; (ii) the closure of its LIZ CLAIBORNE concessions in Europe in the first quarter of 2011; (iii) the closure of its MONET concessions in Europe in December 2011; (iv) the sale of an 81.25% interest in the global MEXX business in October 2011; and (v) the sale of the KENSIE, KENSIE GIRL and MAC & JAC trademarks in October 2011.

That transaction resulted in the liquidation of certain of the Company’s former euro-denominated functional currency subsidiaries and other non-US dollar denominated functional currency subsidiaries. As a result, in the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company recorded a charge of $62.2 million within Loss on

disposal of discontinued operations to write off the cumulative translation adjustment related to the liquidated subsidiaries, the Euro Notes and other instruments.

(a)		The decrease in the balance compared to October 1, 2011 primarily reflected the write-off of the customer relationships associated with the Company’s former KENSIE and MAC & JAC brands.
(b)		The decrease in the balance compared to October 1, 2011 included non-cash impairment charges within the Company’s Adelington Design Group & Other segment related to the merchandising rights of its former MONET and former licensed DKNY® Jeans brands (see Note 1 – Basis of Presentation).
(c)		The decrease in the balance compared to October 1, 2011 primarily reflected the sale of the MONET trademark rights in the US and Puerto Rico and the sale of the KENSIE, KENSIE GIRL and MAC & JAC trademarks (see Note 1 – Basis of Presentation).

Amortization expense of intangible assets was $2.4 million and $3.4 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2012 and October 1, 2011, respectively, and $0.7 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended September 29, 2012 and October 1, 2011, respectively.

Fiscal Year	Amortization Expense
(In millions)
2012		$	3.0
2013		2.5
2014		2.1
2015		1.4
2016		0.7

7. INCOME TAXES

During the third quarter of 2012 and 2011, the Company continued to record a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets in most jurisdictions due to the combination of its history of pretax losses and its inability to carry back tax losses or credits.

The Company’s provision for income taxes for the nine and three months ended September 29, 2012 and October 1, 2011 primarily represented increases in deferred tax liabilities for indefinite-lived intangible assets, current tax on operations in certain jurisdictions and an increase in the accrual for interest related to uncertain tax positions.

The number of years with open tax audits varies depending upon the tax jurisdiction. The major tax jurisdictions include the US, Canada and the United Kingdom. The Company is no longer subject to US Federal examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for the years before 2006 and, with a few exceptions, this applies to tax examinations by state authorities for the years before 2007. As a result of a US Federal tax law change extending the carryback period from two to five years and the Company’s carryback of its 2009 tax loss to 2004 and 2005, the IRS has the ability to re-open its past examinations of 2004 and 2005.

The Company expects a reduction in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits by an amount between $17.4 million and $18.5 million within the next 12 months due to the expiration of various statutes of limitation and potential tax settlements. The change in the expected reduction in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits compared to the Company’s previous disclosure is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. As of September 29, 2012, uncertain tax positions of $103.8 million existed, of which $87.9 million would provide an effective rate impact in the future if subsequently recognized.

The change in the balance primarily reflected the conversion of $58.4 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes into 17.0 million shares of common stock since October 1, 2011.
(c)		The increase in the balance reflected the issuance of $152.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes (the “Additional Notes”) at 108.25% of par value on June 8, 2012.

(e)		The Convertible Notes were reflected as a current liability since they were convertible at September 29, 2012, December 31, 2011 and October 1, 2011.

Euro Notes

On July 6, 2006, the Company completed the issuance of the 350.0 million euro (or $446.9 million based on the exchange rate in effect on such date) Euro Notes. Prior to the sale of an 81.25% interest in the global MEXX business in October 2011 (see Note 1 – Basis of Presentation), a portion of the Euro Notes was designated as a hedge of the Company’s net investment in certain of the Company’s euro-denominated functional currency subsidiaries (see Note 15 – Derivative Instruments).

On April 8, 2011, the Company completed a tender offer (the “Tender Offer”), whereby it repurchased 128.5 million euro aggregate principal amount of the Euro Notes for total early tender and consent consideration of 123.1 million euro, plus accrued interest. The Company recognized a $6.5 million pretax gain on the extinguishment of debt in the second quarter of 2011. On December 15, 2011,

the Company repurchased 100.0 million euro aggregate principal amount of the Euro Notes in a privately-negotiated transaction for total consideration of 100.5 million euro, plus accrued interest.

In the first quarter of 2012, in a privately-negotiated transaction, the Company repurchased 40.0 million euro aggregate principal amount of the Euro Notes for total consideration of 40.6 million euro, plus accrued interest. The Company recognized a $0.8 million pretax loss on the extinguishment of debt in the first quarter of 2012.

On June 6, 2012, in a privately-negotiated transaction, the Company repurchased 28.6 million euro aggregate principal amount of the Euro Notes for total consideration of 29.6 million euro, plus accrued interest. The Company recognized a $1.3 million pretax loss on the extinguishment of debt in the second quarter of 2012.

On July 12, 2012, the Company completed the optional redemption of the remaining 52.9 million euro aggregate principal amount of Euro Notes for 55.4 million euro, plus accrued interest. The redemption was funded by a portion of the net proceeds from the Company’s issuance of Additional Notes in June 2012. The Company recognized a $3.0 million pretax loss on the extinguishment of debt in the third quarter of 2012.

Convertible Notes

On June 24, 2009, the Company issued $90.0 million Convertible Senior Notes (the “Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.0% per year and mature on June 15, 2014. The Company used the net proceeds from this offering to repay $86.6 million of outstanding borrowings under its amended and restated revolving credit facility (as amended to date, the “Amended Facility”).

The Convertible Notes are convertible at an initial conversion rate of 279.6421 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes (representing an initial conversion price of $3.576 per share of common stock), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. If the Convertible Notes are surrendered for conversion, the Company may settle the conversion value of each of the Convertible Notes in the form of cash, stock or a combination of cash and stock, at its discretion. Holders may convert the Convertible Notes at their option prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding March 15, 2014 only under the following circumstances: (i) during any fiscal quarter commencing after October 3, 2009, if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to $4.2912 (which is 120% of the applicable conversion price) on each applicable trading day; (ii) during the five business day period after any 10 consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes for each day of such measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the applicable conversion rate on each such day; or (iii) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. In addition, on or after March 15, 2014 until the close of business on the third scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their Convertible Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. As a result of stock price performance, the Convertible Notes were convertible during the third quarter of 2012 and are convertible during the fourth quarter of 2012.

The Company separately accounts for the liability and equity components of the Convertible Notes in a manner that reflects the Company’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest is recognized in subsequent periods. The Company allocated $20.6 million of the $90.0 million principal amount of the Convertible Notes to the equity component and to debt discount. The debt discount is amortized into interest expense through June 2014 using the effective interest method. The Company’s effective interest rate on the Convertible Notes is 12.25%. The non-cash interest expense that will be recorded will increase as the Convertible Notes approach maturity and accrete to face value. Interest expense associated with the semi-annual interest payment and non-cash amortization of the debt discount was $3.9 million and $6.9 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2012 and October 1, 2011, respectively, and $0.9 million and $2.3 million for three months ended September 29, 2012 and October 1, 2011, respectively.

On December 21, 2011, a holder of $20.8 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes converted all of such outstanding Convertible Notes into 6,163,221 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company paid accrued interest on the holder’s Convertible Notes through the settlement date in cash. The Company allocated $18.3 million of the consideration to the liability component and $5.2 million to the equity component.

On April 3, 2012, holders of $22.6 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes converted all such outstanding Convertible Notes into 6,493,144 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company paid accrued interest on the holders’ Convertible Notes through the settlement date in cash. The Company allocated $21.7 million of the consideration to the liability component and $3.4 million to the equity component. The Company recognized a $2.1 million pretax loss on the extinguishment of debt in the first quarter of 2012.

On June 25, 2012, a holder of $15.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes converted all of such outstanding Convertible Notes into 4,346,376 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company paid accrued interest on the holder’s Convertible Notes through the settlement date in cash. The Company allocated $14.7 million of the consideration to the liability component and $1.9 million to the equity component. The Company recognized a $1.4 million pretax loss on the extinguishment of debt in the second quarter of 2012.

Senior Notes

On April 7, 2011, the Company completed an offering of $220.0 million principal amount of 10.5% Senior Secured Notes (the “Existing Senior Notes,” together with the Additional Notes, the “Senior Notes”). The Company used the net proceeds of $212.9 million from such issuance of the Existing Senior Notes primarily to fund the Tender Offer. The remaining proceeds were used for general corporate purposes. On June 8, 2012, the Company completed the offering of the Additional Notes, at 108.25% of par value. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds of $160.6 million from the offering of the Additional Notes to repay outstanding borrowings under its Amended Facility and to fund the redemption of 52.9 million euro aggregate principal of Euro Notes on July 12, 2012. The Company will use the remaining proceeds to fund all or a portion of the anticipated purchase of a 51.0% interest in Kate Spade Japan Co., Ltd. (“KSJ”), which is a joint venture that was formed between Sanei International Co., LTD (“Sanei”), a Japanese entity, and Kate Spade LLC, one of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries (see Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies). Any remaining net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.

The Senior Notes mature on April 15, 2019 and are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by certain of the Company’s current and future domestic subsidiaries. The Senior Notes and the guarantees are secured on a first-priority basis by a lien on certain of the Company’s trademarks and on a second-priority basis by the other assets of the Company and of the guarantors that secure the Company’s Amended Facility.

The indenture governing the Senior Notes contains provisions that may require the Company to offer to repurchase the Senior Notes at 101% of their aggregate principal amount upon certain defined “Change of Control” events. In addition, the indenture may require that the proceeds from sales of the Company’s assets (subject to various exceptions and the ability of the Company to apply the proceeds to repay indebtedness or reinvest in its business) be used to offer to repurchase the Senior Notes at 100% of their aggregate principal amount. The indenture also contains other standard high-yield debt covenants, which limit the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, incur additional liens, make asset sales, make dividend payments and investments, make payments and other transfers between itself and its subsidiaries, enter into affiliate transactions and merge or consolidate with other entities.

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement executed as part of the April 7, 2011 offering, the Company agreed, on or before April 7, 2012, (i) to use reasonable best efforts to consummate an exchange offer for new notes registered with the SEC with substantially identical terms; and (ii) if required, to have a shelf registration statement declared effective with respect to resales of the April 7, 2011 offering of Existing Senior Notes. As of the date of this filing, the registration statement has not been filed, and the Company is currently required to pay additional interest to the holders of the Existing Senior Notes issued on April 7, 2011 until the obligations under the registration rights agreement are fulfilled. The Company was required to pay additional interest of 0.50% during the 90-day period subsequent to July 8, 2012 and is required to pay additional interest of 0.75% during the 90-day period subsequent to October 6, 2012. If the Company does not complete the exchange offer by January 5, 2013, the interest rate will increase by 1.0%, which is the maximum required by the indenture governing the Existing Senior Notes.

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement executed as part of the Additional Notes offering, the Company agreed, on or before October 15, 2012, (i) to use reasonable best efforts to consummate an offer, in exchange for the Existing Senior Notes, for new notes registered with the SEC with substantially identical terms as the Existing Senior Notes; (ii) to use reasonable best efforts to consummate an offer, in exchange for the Additional Notes, new notes registered with the SEC with substantially identical terms as the Additional Notes and to include the Additional Notes in any exchange offer registration statement for the Existing Senior Notes; and (iii) if required, to have a shelf registration statement declared effective with respect to resales of the Additional Notes. The Company will be required to pay additional interest to the holders of the Additional Notes if the obligations under the registration rights agreement are not fulfilled. The Company is required to pay additional interest of 0.25% during the 90-day period subsequent to October 15, 2012; the interest rate increases by 0.25% at the end of each subsequent 90-day period, up to a maximum of 1.0%.

Amended Facility

In May 2010, the Company completed a second amendment to and restatement of its Amended Facility, which was subsequently amended in March 2011, September 2011 and November 2011 to permit the various corporate, debt financing, disposal and other transactions that the Company completed. Availability under the Company’s Amended Facility is the lesser of $350.0 million or a borrowing base that is computed monthly and comprised primarily of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable and inventory. A portion of the funds available under the Amended Facility not in excess of $200.0 million is available for the issuance of letters of credit, whereby standby letters of credit may not exceed $65.0 million. The Amended Facility is secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets and includes a $200.0 million multi-currency revolving credit line and a $150.0 million US

Dollar credit line. The Amended Facility allows two borrowing options: one borrowing option with interest rates based on euro currency rates and a second borrowing option with interest rates based on the alternate base rate, as defined in the Amended Facility, with a spread based on the aggregate availability under the Amended Facility.

The Amended Facility restricts the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur indebtedness, grant liens, repurchase stock, issue cash dividends, make investments and acquisitions and sell assets, in each case subject to certain designated exceptions. In addition, the Amended Facility (i) requires the Company to maintain minimum aggregate borrowing availability of not less than $45.0 million; (ii) requires the Company to apply substantially all cash collections to reduce outstanding borrowings under the Amended Facility when availability under the Amended Facility falls below the greater of $65.0 million and 17.5% of the then-applicable aggregate commitments; (iii) adjusts certain interest rate spreads based upon availability; (iv) provided for the inclusion of an intangible asset value of $30.0 million in the borrowing base which declined in value over two years; (v) permitted the incurrence of liens and sale of assets in connection with the grant and exercise of the purchase option under the 2009 license agreement with JCPenney; and (vi) permitted the acquisition of certain joint venture interests and the indebtedness and guarantees by certain parties arising in connection with such acquisition, subject to certain capped amounts and meeting certain borrowing availability tests.

The funds available under the Amended Facility may be used to refinance or repurchase certain existing debt, provide for working capital and for general corporate purposes, and back both trade and standby letters of credit. The Amended Facility contains customary events of default clauses and cross-default provisions with respect to the Company’s other outstanding indebtedness, including the Convertible Notes and Senior Notes. The Amended Facility will expire in August 2014, provided that in the event that the remaining Convertible Notes are not refinanced, purchased or defeased prior to March 15, 2014, then the maturity date shall be March 15, 2014. If any such refinancing or extension provides for a maturity date that is earlier than 91 days following August 6, 2014, then the maturity date shall be the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity date of such notes.

On June 5, 2012, the Company entered into a fifth amendment (the “Fifth Amendment”) to the Amended Facility. The Fifth Amendment, among other things, permits the Company (i) to issue the Additional Notes, (ii) to pay the consideration for the June 6, 2012 Euro Notes repurchase and the July 12, 2012 Euro Notes redemption and (iii) to fund all or a portion of the KSJ buyout, subject to certain tests and conditions.

The Company currently believes that the financial institutions under the Amended Facility are able to fulfill their commitments, although such ability to fulfill commitments will depend on the financial condition of the Company’s lenders at the time of borrowing.

As of September 29, 2012, availability under the Company’s Amended Facility was as follows:

In thousands	Total Facility (a)	Borrowing Base (a)	Outstanding Borrowings	Letters of Credit Issued	Available Capacity	Excess Capacity (b)

Revolving credit facility (a)	$350,000	$327,693	$ --	$26,480	$301,213	$256,213

(a) Availability under the Amended Facility is the lesser of $350.0 million or a borrowing base comprised primarily of eligible accounts receivable and inventory.

(b) Excess capacity represents available capacity reduced by the minimum required aggregate borrowing availability under the Amended Facility of $45.0 million.

9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company utilizes the following three level hierarchy that defines the assumptions used to measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value:

Level 1 –	Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 –	Inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
Level 3 –	Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions developed by the Company, which reflect those that a market participant would use.

The fair values of the Company’s Level 2 derivative instruments were primarily based on observable forward exchange rates. Unobservable quantitative inputs used in the valuation of the Company’s derivative instruments included volatilities, discount rates and estimated credit losses.

The following table presents the non-financial assets the Company measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis in 2012, based on such fair value hierarchy:

								Total Losses
	Net Carrying Value as of September 29,		Fair Value Measured and Recorded at Reporting Date Using:					Nine Months Ended September 29,		Three Months Ended September 29,
In thousands	2012		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3	2012		2012
Property and equipment	$	23,687	$	--	$	--	$ 23,687	$	27,905	$	--

In connection with a change in the pattern of use and likely disposal of the Company’s New Jersey corporate office, an impairment analysis was performed on the associated property and equipment. As a result of a decline in the estimated fair value of the Company’s Ohio distribution center, as well as the decisions to exit certain retail locations of JUICY COUTURE and LUCKY BRAND, impairment analyses were performed on the associated property and equipment. The Company determined that a portion of the assets exceeded their fair values, resulting in impairment charges, which were recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The following table presents the non-financial assets the Company measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis in 2011, based on the fair value hierarchy:

								Total Losses
	Net Carrying Value as of		Fair Value Measured and Recorded at Reporting Date Using:					Nine Months Ended		Three Months Ended
In thousands	October 1, 2011		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3	October 1, 2011		October 1, 2011

Intangible assets		12,116		--		--	12,116		814		814

As a result of the decisions to close the Company’s Ohio distribution center and exit certain JUICY COUTURE and LUCKY BRAND retail locations, impairment analyses were performed on the associated property and equipment.

The Company determined that a portion of the assets exceeded their fair values, resulting in impairment charges, which were recorded in SG&A on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

During the third quarter of 2011, the Company recorded a pretax charge of $191.3 million in Discontinued operations, net of income taxes on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations to reduce the net carrying value of the MEXX assets and liabilities that were held for sale to fair value, less estimated costs to dispose.

The fair values of the Company’s Level 3 Property and equipment, Intangible assets and Assets and liabilities held for sale are based on either a market approach or an income approach using unobservable inputs including the Company’s forecasted cash flows and the estimated useful lives of such assets, as appropriate.

The fair values and carrying values of the Company’s debt instruments are detailed as follows:

	September 29, 2012				December 31, 2011				October 1, 2011

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Acquisition

On July 13, 2012, the Company announced that Kate Spade, LLC exercised, on a conditional basis, an option to acquire the remaining 51.0% interest in KSJ from Sanei. The exercise of the option is subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions, including completion of financial and other due diligence and the execution of a mutually satisfactory joint venture termination agreement. If the conditions are satisfied, the resulting purchase is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2012. The expected purchase price, including debt repayment and related transaction fees, is estimated to be between $45.0 and $50.0 million. Any purchase will be funded by a portion of the net proceeds from the Company’s issuance of Additional Notes in June 2012, together with cash on hand.

Buying/Sourcing

During the first quarter of 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with Hong Kong-based, global consumer goods exporter Li & Fung Limited (“Li & Fung”), whereby Li & Fung was appointed as the Company’s buying/sourcing agent for all of the Company’s brands and products (other than jewelry) and the Company received a payment of $75.0 million at closing and an additional payment of $8.0 million in the second quarter of 2009 to offset specific, incremental, identifiable expenses associated with the transaction. The Company’s agreement with Li & Fung provides for a refund of a portion of the closing payment in certain limited circumstances, including a change of control of the Company, the divestiture of any current brand, or certain termination events. The Company is also obligated to use Li & Fung as its buying/sourcing agent for a minimum value of inventory purchases each year through the termination of the agreement in 2019. The 2009 licensing arrangements with JCPenney in the US and Puerto Rico and QVC, Inc. (“QVC”) resulted in the removal of buying/sourcing for a number of LIZ CLAIBORNE branded products sold under these licenses from the Li & Fung buying/sourcing arrangement. As a result, under its agreement with Li & Fung, the Company refunded $24.3 million of the closing payment received from Li & Fung in the second quarter of 2010. The 2011 sales of the KENSIE, KENSIE GIRL and MAC & JAC trademarks resulted in the removal of buying/sourcing for such products sold from the Li & Fung buying/sourcing arrangement. As a result, under its agreement with Li & Fung, the Company refunded $1.8 million of the closing payment received from Li & Fung in the second quarter of 2012. In addition, the Company’s agreement with Li & Fung is not exclusive; however, the Company is required to source a specified percentage of product purchases from Li & Fung.

Leases

In connection with the disposition of the LIZ CLAIBORNE Canada retail stores, the LIZ CLAIBORNE branded outlet stores in the US and Puerto Rico and MEXX Canada retail stores (see Note 1 – Basis of Presentation), an aggregate of 153 store leases were assigned to third parties, for which the Company remains secondarily liable for the remaining obligations on 135 such leases. As of September 29, 2012, the future aggregate payments under these leases amounted to $203.1 million and extended to various dates through 2025.

Other

In the second quarter of 2011, the Company initiated actions to close its Ohio distribution center, which will result in the termination of all or a significant portion of its union employees (see Note 11 – Streamlining Initiatives). During the third quarter of 2011, the Company ceased contributing to a union-sponsored multi-employer defined benefit pension plan (the “Fund”), which is regulated by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). Under ERISA, cessation of employer contributions to a multi-employer defined benefit pension plan is likely to trigger an obligation by such employer for a “withdrawal liability” to such plan, with the amount of such withdrawal liability representing the portion of the plan’s underfunding allocable to the withdrawing employer. The Company incurred such a liability in the second quarter of 2011 and recorded a $17.6 million charge to SG&A related to its estimate of the withdrawal liability. Under applicable statutory rules, this withdrawal liability is payable over a period of time, and the Company previously estimated that it would pay such liability in equal quarterly installments over a period of eight to 12 years, with payments commencing in 2012. In February 2012, the Company was notified by the Fund that the Fund calculated the total withdrawal liability to be $19.1 million, a difference of approximately $1.5 million, and that 17 quarterly payments of $1.2 million would commence on March 1, 2012, and continue for four years, with a final payment of $1.0 million on June 1, 2016.

The Company’s initiative to outsource its distribution function and close the Ohio distribution center has encountered delays, and the Company expects to continue to ship a portion of its merchandise from the Ohio distribution center past the end of the 2012 fiscal year.

In June 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with Globalluxe Kate Spade HK Limited (“Globalluxe”) to, among other things, reacquire the existing KATE SPADE businesses in Southeast Asia from Globalluxe (see Note 13 – Additional Financial Information).

On June 27, 2012, the Company received notification of Gores’ calculation of the working capital adjustments related to the MEXX Transaction, pursuant to the terms of the agreement. The Company has disputed such calculation and has notified Gores that the adjustment should result instead in a payment to the Company. The Company does not expect that any amount that may be payable to Gores related to such adjustments will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows.

The Company is a party to several pending legal proceedings and claims. Although the outcome of any such actions cannot be determined with certainty, management is of the opinion that the final outcome of any of these actions should not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows (see Notes 8 and 21 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Notes 10 and 17 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s June 30, 2012 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).

11. STREAMLINING INITIATIVES

In the third quarter of 2012, the Company initiated actions to reduce staff at JUICY COUTURE. These actions resulted in charges related to severance and are expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2012.

In the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company commenced streamlining initiatives that impacted all of its reportable segments and included rationalization of office space and staff reductions, which are expected to be completed by the end of 2012. In connection with this initiative, in the second quarter of 2012, the Company commenced a reduction of the workforce in its corporate centers in New Jersey and New York. These actions resulted in charges related to severance and asset impairments and are expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2012.

In the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company agreed to terminate its agreement with an affiliate of DKI, which ended the exclusive license agreement for the DKNY® Jeans and DKNY® Active brands. These actions included contract terminations and staff reductions and concluded in the first quarter of 2012.

In the second quarter of 2011, the Company initiated actions to close its Ohio distribution center, which were previously expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2012. However, due to delays in completing the outsourcing of the Company’s distribution function, the Ohio distribution center will remain open past the end of the 2012 fiscal year, with related restructuring actions completed coincident with the closure of such facility. In the first quarter of 2011, the Company initiated actions to reduce staff at JUICY COUTURE. These actions resulted in charges related to contract terminations, severance, asset impairments and other charges.

For the nine months ended September 29, 2012, the Company recorded pretax charges totaling $43.2 million related to these initiatives. The Company expects to pay approximately $16.1 million of accrued streamlining costs in the next 12 months. For the nine months ended October 1, 2011, the Company recorded pretax charges of $49.5 million related to these initiatives, including $2.6 million of contract termination costs, $17.2 million of asset write-downs and disposals, $9.3 million of payroll and related costs and $20.4 million of other costs. Approximately $24.6 million and $17.2 million of these charges were non-cash during the nine months ended September 29, 2012 and October 1, 2011, respectively.

For the nine and three months ended September 29, 2012 and October 1, 2011, expenses associated with the Company’s streamlining actions were primarily recorded in SG&A in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and impacted reportable segments as follows:

14. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company’s segment reporting structure reflects a brand-focused approach, designed to optimize the operational coordination and resource allocation of the Company’s businesses across multiple functional areas including specialty retail, retail outlets, concessions, wholesale apparel, wholesale non-apparel, e-commerce and licensing. During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company determined that it would disaggregate its former Domestic-Based Direct Brands segment into three reportable segments, JUICY COUTURE, KATE SPADE and LUCKY BRAND. The operations of the Company’s former Partnered Brands segment have become the Company’s Adelington Design Group & Other segment. The four reportable segments described below represent the Company’s brand-based activities for which separate financial information is available and which is utilized on a regular basis by the Company’s CODM to evaluate performance and allocate resources. In identifying the Company’s reportable segments, the Company considers economic characteristics, as well as products, customers, sales growth potential and long-term profitability. As such, the Company configured its operations into the following four reportable segments, each reflecting the different financial missions, cultural profiles and focal points appropriate for these four reportable segments:

· JUICY COUTURE segment – consists of the specialty retail, outlet, concession, wholesale apparel, wholesale non-apparel (including accessories, jewelry and handbags), e-commerce and licensing operations of the JUICY COUTURE brand.

· KATE SPADE segment – consists of the specialty retail, outlet, wholesale apparel, wholesale non-apparel, e-commerce and licensing operations of the KATE SPADE and JACK SPADE brands.

· LUCKY BRAND segment – consists of the specialty retail, outlet, wholesale apparel, wholesale non-apparel, e-commerce and licensing operations of LUCKY BRAND.

· Adelington Design Group & Other segment – consists of: (i) exclusive arrangements to supply jewelry for the DANA BUCHMAN, LIZ CLAIBORNE and MONET brands; (ii) the wholesale non-apparel operations of the TRIFARI brand and licensed KENSIE brand; (iii) the wholesale apparel and wholesale non-apparel operations of the licensed LIZWEAR brand and other brands; and (iv) the licensed LIZ CLAIBORNE NEW YORK brand.

As discussed in Note 1 – Basis of Presentation, on October 31, 2011, the Company completed the sale of 81.25% of its global MEXX business, which was represented by the Company’s former International-Based Direct Brands reportable segment. The operating loss associated with the Company’s former International-Based Direct Brands segment included allocated corporate expenses that could not be reported as discontinued operations and are reflected in the Company’s 2011 segment results.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the CODM. The CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources based primarily on the operating income of each reportable segment. The accounting policies of the Company’s reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1 – Basis of Presentation. There are no inter-segment sales or transfers. The Company also presents its results on a geographic basis based on selling location, between Domestic (wholesale customers, Company-owned specialty retail and outlet stores located in the United States and e-commerce sites) and International (wholesale customers and Company-owned specialty retail, outlet and concession stores located outside of the United States). The Company, as licensor, also licenses to third parties the right to produce and market products bearing certain Company-owned trademarks; the resulting royalty income is included within the results of the associated segment.

15. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

In order to reduce exposures related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company previously utilized foreign currency collars, forward contracts and swap contracts for the purpose of hedging the specific exposure to variability in forecasted cash flows associated primarily with inventory purchases mainly by the Company’s European and Canadian entities, substantially all of which related to the global MEXX business. As of September 29, 2012, December 31, 2011 and October 1, 2011, the Company had no significant outstanding forward contracts.

The following table summarizes the effect of foreign currency exchange contracts on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements:

In thousands	Amount of Gain or (Loss) Recognized in Accumulated OCI on Derivative (Effective Portion)			Location of Gain or (Loss) Reclassified from Accumulated OCI into Operations (Effective and Ineffective Portion)	Amount of Gain or (Loss) Reclassified from Accumulated OCI into Operations (Effective Portion)			Amount of Gain or (Loss) Recognized in Operations on Derivative (Ineffective Portion)
Nine months ended October 1, 2011	$	(4,192	)	Discontinued operations, net of income taxes	$	(4,535	)	$	164
Three months ended October 1, 2011	2,447			Discontinued operations, net of income taxes	(2,478		)	(6		)

The Company hedged its net investment position in certain euro-denominated functional currency subsidiaries by designating a portion of the outstanding Euro Notes as the hedging instrument in a net investment hedge. To the extent the hedge was effective, related foreign currency translation gains and losses were recorded within Other comprehensive loss. Translation gains and losses related to the ineffective portion of the hedge were recognized in current operations within Other income (expense), net.

As of October 1, 2011, the Company dedesignated an aggregate 131.5 million euro of its outstanding Euro Notes as a hedge of its net investment in certain euro-denominated functional currency subsidiaries.

In connection with the sale of an 81.25% interest in the global MEXX business on October 31, 2011, the Company dedesignated the remaining amount of the Euro Notes that had been previously designated as a hedge of the Company’s net investment in certain euro-denominated functional currency subsidiaries. Accordingly, all foreign currency transaction gains or losses related to the remaining Euro Notes were recorded in earnings beginning on November 1, 2011 until the Euro Notes were fully repurchased by the Company in the third quarter of 2012.

The Company recognized the following foreign currency translation gains (losses) related to the net investment hedge:

	Nine Months Ended			Three Months Ended
In thousands	October 1, 2011 (39 weeks)			October 1, 2011 (13 weeks)
Effective portion recognized within Accumulated OCI	$	(3,357	)	$	10,253
Ineffective portion recognized within Other income (expense), net	(10,924		)	14,976

Also, as a result of the sale of an 81.25% interest in the global MEXX business, the Company’s net investment in certain euro-denominated functional currency subsidiaries was substantially liquidated, and the cumulative translation adjustment recognized on the Company’s Euro Notes through October 31, 2011 was written off.

The Company occasionally uses short-term foreign currency forward contracts to manage currency risk associated with certain expected transactions. In order to mitigate the exposure related to the Tender Offer, the Company entered into forward contracts to sell $182.0 million for 128.0 million euro, which settled in the second quarter of 2011. During the second quarter of 2011, the Company entered into forward contracts designated as non-hedging derivative instruments maturing in July 2011 to sell $15.7 million for 11.0 million euro. The transaction gains of $2.5 million related to these derivative instruments were reflected within Other income (expense), net for the nine months ended October 1, 2011.

16. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company recognizes the cost of all employee share-based awards on a straight-line attribution basis over their respective vesting periods, net of estimated forfeitures.

The Company issues stock options and restricted shares as well as shares with performance features to employees under share-based compensation plans. Stock options are issued at the current market price, have a three-year vesting period and a contractual term of 7-10 years. In March 2012, the Company’s Compensation Committee approved the accelerated vesting of a former executive officer’s unvested 2010 and 2011 semiannual option grants, as well as his sign-on restricted stock and special retention stock awards, upon his separation from the Company.

Compensation expense for restricted shares, including shares with performance features, is measured at fair value on the date of grant based on the number of shares granted and the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock. Such value is recognized as expense over the vesting period of the award, net of estimated forfeitures.

Compensation expense for restricted share units with performance features and a market condition is measured at fair value, subject to the market condition on the date of grant and based on the number of shares expected to vest subject to the performance condition. Such value is recognized as expense over the vesting period of the award, net of estimated forfeitures.

Compensation expense related to the Company’s share-based payment awards totaled $7.2 million and $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2012 and October 1, 2011 and $1.6 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended September 29, 2012 and October 1, 2011, respectively.

Stock Options

The Company utilizes the Binomial lattice pricing model to estimate the fair value of options granted. The Company believes this model provides the best estimate of fair value due to its ability to incorporate inputs that change over time, such as volatility and interest rates and to allow for actual exercise behavior of option holders.

	Nine Months Ended
Valuation Assumptions:	September 29, 2012	October 1, 2011
Weighted-average fair value of options granted	$5.99	$2.73
Expected volatility	63.3%	73.0%
Weighted-average volatility	63.3%	65.7%
Expected term (in years)	5.1	5.1
Dividend yield	—	—
Risk-free rate	0.2% to 3.8%	0.1% to 4.1%
Expected annual forfeiture	13.5%	12.0%

Expected volatilities are based on a term structure of implied volatility, which assumes changes in volatility over the life of an option. The Company utilizes historical optionee behavioral data to estimate the option exercise and termination rates that are used in the valuation model. The expected term represents an estimate of the period of time options are expected to remain outstanding. The expected term provided in the above table represents an option weighted-average expected term based on the estimated behavior of distinct groups of employees who received options in 2012 and 2011. The range of risk-free rates is based on a forward curve of interest rates at the time of option grant.

A summary of award activity under stock option plans as of September 29, 2012 and changes therein during the nine month period then ended are as follows:

	Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term	Aggregate Intrinsic Value (In thousands)
Outstanding at December 31, 2011	7,002,238		$	11.22	4.7	$	19,206
Granted	535,000		11.38
Exercised	(1,305,525	)	4.63			9,732
Cancelled/expired	(364,388	)	20.13
Outstanding at September 29, 2012	5,867,325		$	12.14	4.2	$	30,592

Vested or expected to vest at September 29, 2012	5,547,039		$	12.42	4.1	$	28,854

Exercisable at September 29, 2012	3,412,325		$	15.97	3.3	$	15,931

As of September 29, 2012, there were approximately 2.5 million nonvested stock options. The weighted average grant date fair value per award for nonvested stock options was $3.58.

As of September 29, 2012, there was $6.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock options granted under the Company’s stock option plans. That expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.5 years. The total fair value of shares vested during the nine month periods ended September 29, 2012 and October 1, 2011 was $4.0 million and $3.4 million, respectively.

Restricted Stock

In 2012, the Company granted 535,000 performance share units with a two year performance period and a three year service period, subject to a market condition adjustment, to a group of key executives. The performance criteria include certain earnings metrics for consecutive periods through December 2013 with the number of shares to be earned ranging from 0 to 150% of the target amount. At December 31, 2014, the total units earned, if any, will be adjusted by applying a modifier, ranging from 50%-150%. The amount of such modifier will be determined by comparing the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) to the relative TSR of the S&P SmallCap 600 companies over the three year period, where the Company’s TSR is based on the change in its stock price.

The fair value for the performance share units granted is calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation model for the TSR modifier market condition. For the nine months ended September 29, 2012, the following assumptions were used in determining fair value:

		Nine Months Ended
Valuation Assumptions:		September 29, 2012
Weighted-average fair value		$12.18
Historic volatility		76.4%
Expected term (in years)		2.86
Dividend yield		--
Risk-free rate		0.41%
Expected annual forfeiture		13.5%

A summary of award activity under restricted stock plans as of September 29, 2012 and changes therein during the nine month period then ended are as follows:

	Shares		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Nonvested stock at December 31, 2011 (a)	1,570,101		$	6.23
Granted (b)	706,100		11.91
Vested	(322,142	)	6.54
Cancelled	(252,425	)	6.68
Nonvested stock at September 29, 2012 (a)(b)	1,701,634		$	8.46

Expected to vest as of September 29, 2012	697,107		$	8.97

(a)	Includes performance shares granted to a group of key executives with certain performance conditions measured through July 2013.
(b)	Includes performance shares granted to a group of key executives with certain performance conditions measured through December 2013 and a market and service condition through December 2014.

As of September 29, 2012, there was $3.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock awards granted under restricted stock plans. That expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.4 years. The total fair value of shares vested during the nine month periods ended September 29, 2012 and October 1, 2011 was $2.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively.
