	Business Organization and Basis of Presentation
	Description of Business
	Coldwater Creek Inc., a Delaware corporation, together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, headquartered in Sandpoint, Idaho, is a multi-channel specialty retailer of women's apparel, jewelry and accessories. We conduct business in two operating segments: retail and direct. The retail segment consists of our premium retail stores, factory stores and day spas. The direct segment consists of sales generated through our e-commerce website and mobile applications as well as orders taken from customers over the phone and through the mail.
	Company Plans
	During the nine months ended November 2, 2013 and October 27, 2012, we have incurred a net loss of $59.6 million and $61.8 million, respectively, and used cash from operations of $23.1 million and $34.9 million, respectively. As of November 2, 2013, February 2, 2013, and October 27, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $6.8 million, $21.7 million, and $31.3 million, respectively. As of November 2, 2013, we had $15.0 million of borrowing outstanding under our revolving line of credit with no outstanding borrowings as of February 2, 2013 and October 27, 2012. As of November 2, 2013, we had $42.6 million available for borrowing under our revolving line of credit.
	Our turnaround has taken longer than expected and we have yet to experience consistent improvement in our sales. Despite the benefits from our previous merchandising and marketing initiatives, cost cutting initiatives and real estate optimization activities, we have continued to report significant net losses and negative year-to-date operating cash flows. As a result, we have implemented or plan to implement the following:
	•	In October 2013, the Board of Directors announced it would evaluate strategic alternatives to enhance value for stockholders. The Executive Committee of the Board of Directors is leading this process and intends to consider a broad range of alternatives, including, but not limited to, partnerships, joint ventures or a sale or merger of the Company. An independent financial advisor will assist the Board of Directors in the evaluation of possible strategic alternatives. There can be no assurance that the exploration of strategic alternatives will result in a transaction or that any transaction we enter into will prove to be beneficial to our stockholders.
	•	In October 2013, we announced that we are implementing further cost reduction initiatives that are expected to generate $20.0 million to $25.0 million in incremental pre-tax savings in fiscal year 2014. This program is designed to improve the financial and competitive position of the Company by streamlining the organization, reducing expenses, and positioning us for enhanced efficiency and profitability. During the three months ended November 2, 2013, as part of this cost reduction program, we have reduced our full-time corporate workforce and recorded a charge to selling, general and administrative expenses of $2.3 million for severance and other expenses associated with the restructuring program with only an immaterial impact to our segments.
	•	We are evaluating approximately 70 store lease actions for fiscal 2014 that could result in additional savings. The expected outcome of these lease actions is for potential additional store closures, downsizing to smaller spaces, or amending leases at more favorable terms, all of which we expect would result in additional savings. We will continue to actively manage our store fleet to optimize our structure for the current environment.
	Our financial statements have been prepared on the basis that our business will continue as a going concern. We believe, based on our current projections, that we have sufficient sources of liquidity, including cash and cash equivalents and availability under our revolving line of credit, to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months. Our ability to fund our operations and to continue as a going concern depends upon meeting our projected future operating results, including the achievement of improvements from our merchandising and marketing initiatives, cost reduction program, store optimization program and other strategic initiatives, and the availability under our revolving line of credit, as well as the absence of any significant deterioration in consumer spending as a result of uncertain macroeconomic conditions. The ability to achieve our projected future operating results is based on a number of assumptions which involve significant judgment and estimates, which cannot be assured. If we are unable to achieve our projected operating results, we could violate one or more of our debt covenants, our liquidity could be adversely impacted and we may need to seek additional sources of liquidity. Our current level of debt could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations and there is no assurance that debt or equity financing will be available in sufficient amounts or on acceptable terms. Therefore, a continuation of our recent historical operating results could result in our inability to continue as a going concern. Additional actions may include further reducing our expenditures, curtailing our operations, significantly restructuring our business, or restructuring our debt.
	Interim Financial Information
	The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared by management pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in our annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of February 2, 2013 was derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date. The condensed consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2013.
	The condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the financial position, results of operations or cash flows to be realized in future periods.

Significant Accounting Policies	'
	Significant Accounting Policies
	Accounting Policies
	The complete summary of significant accounting policies is included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements as presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2013.
	Principles of Consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Coldwater Creek Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
	Fiscal Periods
	References to a fiscal year refer to the calendar year in which the fiscal year begins. Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest January 31st.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and timing of revenue and expenses, the reported amounts and classification of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and assumptions are embodied in our sales returns accrual, gift card breakage, inventory adjustments, derivative liability, stock-based compensation, impairment of long-lived assets, contingent liabilities and income taxes. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical results as well as management's future expectations. Actual results may vary from these estimates and assumptions.
	Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
	Accumulated other comprehensive loss is made up entirely of unrecognized net actuarial loss, net of tax, for the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the "SERP"). See Note 10. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, for amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to net periodic benefit costs due to the amortization of net actuarial loss to selling, general and administrative expenses.
	Fair Value
	Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are categorized using defined hierarchical levels related to the subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair value measurements as follows:
	•	Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
	•	Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable; and
	•	Level 3 — Unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists.
	On July 9, 2012, as disclosed in Note 8, we issued 1,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The fair value of the Series A Preferred Stock is recorded as a derivative liability and is measured on a recurring basis at fair value with Level 3 inputs using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following inputs:
		November 2,			February 2,			October 27,
		2013			2013			2012
	Closing price of Company's common stock	$	0.98		$	3.69		$	3.99
	Exercise price	$	3.4		$	3.4		$	3.4
	Risk-free interest rate	2.4		%	1.9		%	1.7		%
	Expected volatility	88.9		%	84.9		%	82.2		%
	Expected life	8.7 years			9.4 years			9.7 years
	Expected dividends	$	—		$	—		$	—
	The valuation model and the assumptions used in the model were determined based on the Series A Preferred Stock features and Company specific historical experience, taking into consideration expected future activity. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury strip rates in effect at the time of measurement with an equivalent remaining term. The expected volatility of our stock price is based on a combination of historical volatility and the implied volatility of our exchange traded options. Expected life is based on the remaining term of the Series A Preferred Stock. To the extent any of these assumptions increases or decreases in isolation, the fair value of the derivative liability increases or decreases accordingly. Other assumptions based on the Series A Preferred Stock features, including anti-dilution provisions, were considered and determined to be insignificant to the valuation.
	Changes in the fair value are recorded as other gain or loss, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive operations. Activity for the derivative liability was as follows:
		Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
		November 2,			October 27,			November 2,			October 27,
		2013			2012			2013			2012

	Balance at beginning of period	$	12,125		$	13,395		$	18,683		$	—
	Issuance of Series A Preferred Stock	—			—			—			15,744
	Loss (gain) on change in fair value	(7,975		)	6,783			(14,533		)	4,434
	Balance at end of period	$	4,150		$	20,178		$	4,150		$	20,178
	Based on our review of the operating results for each of our premium retail stores for each of the fiscal years presented, we evaluated certain stores for impairment. During the nine months ended November 2, 2013, certain long-lived assets, primarily premium store leasehold improvements, with a net carrying amount of $3.0 million were written down to their fair value of $0.3 million, resulting in impairment charges of $2.7 million. These impairment charges were measured at fair value using discounted cash flows for each premium retail store based on Level 3 inputs, including projected sales, margins, and operating expenses over the estimated remaining useful life. During the nine months ended October 27, 2012, there were no impairment charges recorded.
	We have financial assets and liabilities, not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, which primarily consist of cash, receivables, payables and debt. The carrying value of cash, receivables, payables and borrowing on our revolving line of credit approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. As of November 2, 2013, February 2, 2013 and October 27, 2012, the fair value of our senior secured term loan was $66.8 million, $56.2 million and $54.4 million, respectively. The carrying value of our senior secured term loan as of November 2, 2013, February 2, 2013, and October 27, 2012, was $58.6 million, $52.5 million and $50.3 million, respectively, which includes accrued PIK interest and net of the loan discount. The fair value of the senior secured term loan was estimated using Level 3 inputs by discounting the cash flows with an assumed interest rate that considers credit and liquidity risk.
	Income Taxes
	Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to utilize existing deferred tax assets and, if not, to record a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated includes cumulative pre-tax losses (adjusted for permanent differences) incurred over the last three years, with current or previous losses given more weight than projected future results. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence. We have a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Consequently, based on all available evidence, we continue to record a valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets generated during the fiscal year. Also, for the three months ended November 2, 2013, we recorded an additional valuation allowance of $2.6 million related to previously recorded net deferred tax assets resulting in a valuation allowance for all of our net deferred tax assets. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight may be given to subjective evidence.
	Reclassifications
	Certain prior period reclassifications were made to conform with the current period presentation. On the condensed consolidated balance sheets, prepaid and deferred marketing costs was combined with prepaid and other current assets, income taxes payable was combined with accrued liabilities, and deferred marketing fees and revenue sharing was combined with other liabilities. On the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, deferred income taxes and valuation allowance adjustments were combined and income taxes payable was combined with accrued liabilities.

	On July 9, 2012, we obtained a five-year, $65.0 million senior secured term loan (the "Secured Term Loan") provided by an affiliate of Golden Gate Capital. The Secured Term Loan bears interest at a rate of 5.5% to be paid in cash quarterly and 7.5% due and payable in kind ("PIK") upon maturity. The Secured Term Loan is collateralized by a second lien on our inventory and credit card receivables, and a first lien on our remaining assets. The Secured Term Loan is scheduled to mature upon the earlier of July 9, 2017 or the date that the obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank dated May 16, 2011 (the "Credit Agreement") mature or are accelerated. Upon maturity (including as a result of an acceleration) of the Secured Term Loan, the principal balance and any unpaid interest, including $29.8 million of PIK interest, will become due and payable. As of November 2, 2013, $6.8 million of PIK interest has been accrued. Also on July 9, 2012 in conjunction with the Secured Term Loan, we issued 1,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the initial fair value of $15.7 million was recorded as a discount to the Secured Term Loan. This discount is being amortized to interest expense based on the effective interest rate method. The Secured Term Loan contains default events that, if triggered and not remediated, could result in acceleration of our obligation to repay the Secured Term Loan with additional premium and interest payments that could be material. Certain of these default events are non-financial, such as a change in control of the Company, non-financial cross-default provisions of other debt-like instruments and failure to provide required information to the lenders, and are considered embedded derivatives. We have evaluated these embedded derivatives and determined that they are immaterial based on our current assessment of the likelihood of these events resulting in additional payments.
	In May 2011, we entered into the Credit Agreement with a maturity date of May 16, 2016, which is secured primarily by our inventory, credit card receivables and certain other assets. The Credit Agreement provides a revolving line of credit of up to $70.0 million, with subfacilities for the issuance of up to $70.0 million in letters of credit and swingline advances of up to $10.0 million. The amount of credit that is available under the revolving line of credit is limited to a borrowing base that is determined according to, among other things, a percentage of the value of eligible inventory and credit card receivables, as reduced by certain reserve amounts required by Wells Fargo Bank. The actual amount that is available under our revolving line of credit fluctuates due to factors including, but not limited to, eligible inventory and credit card receivables, reserve amounts, outstanding letters of credit, and borrowing under our revolving line of credit. Consequently, it is possible that, should we need to access any additional funds from our revolving line of credit, it may not be available in full.  In connection with the closing of the Secured Term Loan, we amended the Credit Agreement and repaid the separate term loan previously provided by Wells Fargo Bank. The amendment did not materially change the terms of the Credit Agreement. As of November 2, 2013, the revolving line of credit was limited to a borrowing base of $70.0 million with $15.0 million in borrowings and $12.4 million in letters of credit issued, resulting in $42.6 million available for borrowing under our revolving line of credit.
	Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, borrowings issued under the revolving line of credit will generally accrue interest at a rate ranging from 1.00% to 2.50% (determined according to the average unused availability under the credit facility (the "Availability")) over a reference rate of, at our election, either LIBOR or a base rate (the "Reference Rate") with an interest rate of 2.20% as of November 2, 2013. Letters of credit issued under the revolving line of credit will accrue interest at a rate ranging from 1.50% to 2.50% (determined according to the Availability) with an interest rate of 2.00% as of November 2, 2013. Commitment fees accrue at a rate ranging from 0.375% to 0.50% (determined according to the Availability), which is assessed on the average unused portion of the credit facility maximum amount.
	Both the Secured Term Loan and Credit Agreement have restrictive financial covenants, all of which we were in compliance with as shown below:

	The Secured Term Loan and Credit Agreement also contain various other covenants, such as capital expenditure limitations, restrictions on indebtedness, liens, investments, acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, dividends and other customary conditions. Our current store closure plans under our store optimization program and the related transfer or disposition of store assets is not limited by our Secured Term Loan or Credit Agreement. Both the Secured Term Loan and Credit Agreement contain customary events of default. Upon an event of default that is not cured or waived within any applicable cure periods, in addition to other remedies that may be available to the lenders, the obligations may be accelerated, outstanding letters of credit may be required to be cash collateralized and remedies may be exercised against the collateral.

	Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
	Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the combination of other potentially dilutive common shares and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Other potentially dilutive weighted average common shares include the dilutive effect of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and shares to be purchased under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") for each period using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the exercise price of a share, the amount of compensation expense, if any, for future service that has not yet been recognized, and the amount of excess tax benefits, if any, that would be recorded in additional paid-in-capital when the share is exercised are assumed to be used to repurchase shares in the current period.
	The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per common share:

During the nine months ended November 2, 2013 and October 27, 2012, 2.3 million and 1.3 million, respectively, of stock options, RSUs and shares to be purchased under our ESPP were outstanding but were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect would be antidilutive. The conversion rights available to outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock were also excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect would be antidilutive.

	Reverse Stock Split
	On October 4, 2012, we effected a reverse stock split of the Company's common stock following stockholder approval. As a result of the split, every four shares of common stock outstanding were consolidated into one share, reducing the number of common shares outstanding on the effective date from 122.0 million shares to 30.5 million shares. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding remained the same. However, the number of shares of common stock each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into and the related exercise price has been adjusted proportionally. The Reverse Stock Split did not affect the registration of our common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the listing of our common stock under the symbol "CWTR."
	Series A Preferred Stock
	On July 9, 2012 in conjunction with the Secured Term Loan, we issued 1,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to an affiliate of Golden Gate Capital which gives that affiliate the right to purchase up to 6.1 million shares of our common stock through July 9, 2022. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock have an initial exercise price of $3.40 per share of underlying common stock. The Series A Preferred Stock is considered a derivative liability due to the net settlement features and is included in accrued liabilities.

	Commitments and Contingencies
	Operating Leases
	As of November 2, 2013, our minimum operating lease payment requirements, which include the predetermined fixed escalations of the minimum rentals and exclude contingent rental payments, common area maintenance costs ("CAM"), real estate taxes, and the amortization of lease incentives for our operating leases, totaled $376.5 million.
	Legal Proceedings
	We are, from time to time, involved in various legal proceedings incidental to the conduct of business. Actions filed against us from time to time include commercial, intellectual property infringement, customer and employment claims, including class action lawsuits alleging that we violated federal and state wage and hour and other laws. We believe that we have meritorious defenses to all lawsuits and legal proceedings currently pending against us. Though we will continue to vigorously defend such lawsuits and legal proceedings, we are unable to predict with certainty whether or not we will ultimately be successful. However, based on management's evaluation, we believe that the resolution of these matters, taking into account existing contingency accruals and the availability of insurance and other indemnifications, will not materially impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	Tax Contingencies
	Our multi-channel business model subjects us to state and local taxes in numerous jurisdictions, including franchise, and sales and use tax. We collect these taxes in jurisdictions in which we have a physical presence. While we believe we have paid or accrued for all taxes based on our interpretation of applicable law, tax laws are complex and interpretations differ from state to state. In the past, we have been assessed additional taxes and penalties by various taxing jurisdictions, asserting either an error in our calculation or an interpretation of the law that differed from our own. It is possible that taxing authorities may make additional assessments in the future. In addition to taxes, penalties and interest, these assessments could cause us to incur legal fees associated with resolving disputes with taxing authorities.
	Additionally, changes in state and local tax laws, such as temporary changes associated with "tax holidays" and other programs, require us to make continual changes to our collection and reporting systems that may relate to only one taxing jurisdiction. If we fail to update our collection and reporting systems in response to these changes, any over collection or under collection of sales taxes could subject us to interest and penalties, as well as private lawsuits and damage to our reputation. In the opinion of management, resolutions of these matters will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

	As of November 2, 2013, we had non-cancelable inventory purchase commitments of $100.6 million.

	Credit Card Program
	On July 26, 2013, we entered into a Credit Card Program Agreement (the "Program Agreement") with Comenity Bank, a bank subsidiary of Alliance Data Systems Corporation ("ADS"). Under the Program Agreement, ADS will issue co-branded credit cards and private label credit cards to approved new and existing customers. ADS will also purchase the existing co-branded credit card portfolio at a future date from Chase Bank USA, N.A. ("Chase"). During the nine months ended November 2, 2013, we received up-front incentive payments of $23.0 million, which was deferred and will be amortized over the term of the Program Agreement. We are entitled to receive an additional $2.0 million upon the launch of a new private label credit card program. We will also be entitled to future payments after ADS begins issuing credit cards under the Program Agreement for revenue sharing based on a percentage of credit card sales, certain new credit card accounts opened and activated, and profit sharing based on certain profitability measures of the program. The term of the Program Agreement is seven years from ADS's purchase of the co-branded credit card portfolio from Chase, which is expected to close in the first half of fiscal 2014, with automatic extensions for successive one year terms.

	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and timing of revenue and expenses, the reported amounts and classification of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and assumptions are embodied in our sales returns accrual, gift card breakage, inventory adjustments, derivative liability, stock-based compensation, impairment of long-lived assets, contingent liabilities and income taxes. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical results as well as management's future expectations. Actual results may vary from these estimates and assumptions.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss	'
	Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
	Accumulated other comprehensive loss is made up entirely of unrecognized net actuarial loss, net of tax, for the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the "SERP"). See Note 10. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, for amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to net periodic benefit costs due to the amortization of net actuarial loss to selling, general and administrative expenses.
Fair Value	'
	Fair Value
	Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are categorized using defined hierarchical levels related to the subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair value measurements as follows:
	•	Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
	•	Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable; and
	•	Level 3 — Unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists.
	On July 9, 2012, as disclosed in Note 8, we issued 1,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The fair value of the Series A Preferred Stock is recorded as a derivative liability and is measured on a recurring basis at fair value with Level 3 inputs using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following inputs:
		November 2,			February 2,			October 27,
		2013			2013			2012
	Closing price of Company's common stock	$	0.98		$	3.69		$	3.99
	Exercise price	$	3.4		$	3.4		$	3.4
	Risk-free interest rate	2.4		%	1.9		%	1.7		%
	Expected volatility	88.9		%	84.9		%	82.2		%
	Expected life	8.7 years			9.4 years			9.7 years
	Expected dividends	$	—		$	—		$	—
	The valuation model and the assumptions used in the model were determined based on the Series A Preferred Stock features and Company specific historical experience, taking into consideration expected future activity. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury strip rates in effect at the time of measurement with an equivalent remaining term. The expected volatility of our stock price is based on a combination of historical volatility and the implied volatility of our exchange traded options. Expected life is based on the remaining term of the Series A Preferred Stock. To the extent any of these assumptions increases or decreases in isolation, the fair value of the derivative liability increases or decreases accordingly. Other assumptions based on the Series A Preferred Stock features, including anti-dilution provisions, were considered and determined to be insignificant to the valuation.
	Changes in the fair value are recorded as other gain or loss, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive operations. Activity for the derivative liability was as follows:
		Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
		November 2,			October 27,			November 2,			October 27,

	Balance at end of period	$	4,150		$	20,178		$	4,150		$	20,178
	Based on our review of the operating results for each of our premium retail stores for each of the fiscal years presented, we evaluated certain stores for impairment. During the nine months ended November 2, 2013, certain long-lived assets, primarily premium store leasehold improvements, with a net carrying amount of $3.0 million were written down to their fair value of $0.3 million, resulting in impairment charges of $2.7 million. These impairment charges were measured at fair value using discounted cash flows for each premium retail store based on Level 3 inputs, including projected sales, margins, and operating expenses over the estimated remaining useful life. During the nine months ended October 27, 2012, there were no impairment charges recorded.
	We have financial assets and liabilities, not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, which primarily consist of cash, receivables, payables and debt. The carrying value of cash, receivables, payables and borrowing on our revolving line of credit approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. As of November 2, 2013, February 2, 2013 and October 27, 2012, the fair value of our senior secured term loan was $66.8 million, $56.2 million and $54.4 million, respectively. The carrying value of our senior secured term loan as of November 2, 2013, February 2, 2013, and October 27, 2012, was $58.6 million, $52.5 million and $50.3 million, respectively, which includes accrued PIK interest and net of the loan discount. The fair value of the senior secured term loan was estimated using Level 3 inputs by discounting the cash flows with an assumed interest rate that considers credit and liquidity risk.
Income Taxes	'
	Income Taxes
	Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to utilize existing deferred tax assets and, if not, to record a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated includes cumulative pre-tax losses (adjusted for permanent differences) incurred over the last three years, with current or previous losses given more weight than projected future results. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence. We have a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Consequently, based on all available evidence, we continue to record a valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets generated during the fiscal year. Also, for the three months ended November 2, 2013, we recorded an additional valuation allowance of $2.6 million related to previously recorded net deferred tax assets resulting in a valuation allowance for all of our net deferred tax assets. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight may be given to subjective evidence.

	Reclassifications
	Certain prior period reclassifications were made to conform with the current period presentation. On the condensed consolidated balance sheets, prepaid and deferred marketing costs was combined with prepaid and other current assets, income taxes payable was combined with accrued liabilities, and deferred marketing fees and revenue sharing was combined with other liabilities. On the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, deferred income taxes and valuation allowance adjustments were combined and income taxes payable was combined with accrued liabilities.
