	1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

	The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Kate Spade & Company 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 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Information presented as of December 28, 2013 is derived from audited financial statements.

	Effective February 25, 2014, the Company completed its previously announced corporate name change from Fifth & Pacific Companies, Inc. to reflect the Company’s mono-brand focus following the sales of the Lucky Brand business and the sale of its JUICY COUTURE brandname and related intellectual property assets (the “Juicy Couture IP”). The Company’s stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) as Kate Spade & Company under the symbol “KATE.”

	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, e-commerce, concessions, wholesale apparel, wholesale non-apparel and licensing. The three 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 chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to evaluate performance and allocate resources. In identifying the Company’s reportable segments, the Company considered economic characteristics, as well as products, customers, sales growth potential and long-term profitability. As such, the Company reports its operations in three reportable segments, as follows:

	· KATE SPADE segment – consists of the specialty retail, outlet, e-commerce, concession, wholesale apparel, wholesale non-apparel (including accessories, jewelry and handbags) and licensing operations of the kate spade new york, KATE SPADE SATURDAY and JACK SPADE brands.
	· Adelington Design Group segment – consists of: (i) exclusive arrangements to supply jewelry for the 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.
	· JUICY COUTURE segment – consists of the specialty retail, outlet, wholesale apparel, wholesale non-apparel, e-commerce and licensing operations of the JUICY COUTURE brand. The Company continues wind-down operations of the JUICY COUTURE brand, pursuant to the license agreement with ABG – Juicy LLC, an affiliate of Authentic Brands Group (“ABG”), as discussed below.

	On February 5, 2014, the Company, through its Kate Spade, LLC and Kate Spade Hong Kong Ltd. subsidiaries, reacquired existing KATE SPADE businesses in Southeast Asia from Globalluxe Kate Spade HK Limited (“Globalluxe”) for $32.3 million, including $2.3 million for working capital and other previously agreed adjustments (see Note 2 – Acquisition).

	On February 3, 2014, the Company sold 100.0% of the capital stock of Lucky Brand Dungarees, Inc. (“Lucky Brand”) to LBD Acquisition Company, LLC (“LBD Acquisition”), a Delaware limited liability company and affiliate of Leonard Green & Partners, L.P. (“Leonard Green”), for an aggregate payment of $225.0 million, comprised of $140.0 million cash consideration and a three-year $85.0 million note (the “Lucky Brand Note”) issued by Lucky Brand Dungarees, LLC (“Lucky Brand LLC”) at closing, subject to working capital and other adjustments (the “Lucky Brand Transaction”). The assets and liabilities of the former Lucky Brand business were segregated and reported as held for sale as of December 28, 2013 (see Note 3 – Discontinued Operations). The Lucky Brand Note matures in February 2017 and is guaranteed by substantially all of Lucky Brand LLC’s subsidiaries. The Lucky Brand Note is secured by second-priority lien on all accounts receivable and inventory of Lucky Brand LLC and the guarantor subsidiaries and a first-priority lien on all other collateral of Lucky Brand LLC and the guarantors. The accounts receivable and inventory secure Lucky Brand LLC’s asset-based revolving loan facility on a first-priority basis, and the other collateral secures that loan facility on a second-priority basis. The principal amount of the Lucky Brand Note increases by $5.0 million per year in equal monthly increments and bears cash interest of $8.0 million per year, payable semiannually in arrears. The Lucky Brand Note is prepayable at any time by Lucky Brand LLC without a prepayment premium, subject to certain restrictions as to the minimum amount that may be prepaid without the Company’s consent.

	On November 6, 2013, the Company completed the sale of the Juicy Couture IP to ABG for a total purchase price of $195.0 million. An additional payment may be payable to the Company in an amount of up to $10.0 million if certain conditions regarding future performance are achieved. The Juicy Couture IP is licensed back to the Company until December 31, 2014 to accommodate the wind-down of operations. JUICY COUTURE will pay guaranteed minimum royalties to ABG of $10.0 million during the term of the wind-down license. On March 29, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its JUICY COUTURE business in Europe to an operating partner of ABG for $8.6 million, subject to working capital adjustments. The transaction closed on April 7, 2014.

	The activities of the Company’s former Lucky Brand business and its JUICY COUTURE business in Europe have been segregated and reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The Company continues activities with certain JUICY COUTURE operations and therefore the remaining activities of that brand have not been presented as discontinued operations.

	Summarized financial data for the aforementioned brands that are classified as discontinued operations are provided in Note 3 – 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

	Kate Spade & Company is engaged primarily in the design and marketing of a broad range of accessories and apparel. The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to December 31. The 2014 fiscal year, ending January 3, 2015, reflects a 53-week period, resulting in a 14-week, three-month period for the first quarter. The 2013 fiscal year, ending December 28, 2013, reflects a 52-week period, resulting in a 13-week, three-month period for the first 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 28, 2013.

	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 first quarter of 2014, 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 28, 2013.

	RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

	On December 29, 2013, the first day of the Company’s 2014 fiscal year, the Company adopted new accounting guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits, which requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows: to the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or that the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use; and the entity does not intend to use the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The adoption of the new accounting guidance did not affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

	On February 5, 2014, the Company, through its Kate Spade, LLC and Kate Spade Hong Kong Ltd. subsidiaries, reacquired existing KATE SPADE businesses in Southeast Asia from Globalluxe for a purchase price of $32.3 million, including $2.3 million for working capital and other previously agreed adjustments.

	In Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, the Company directly owns and operates the related businesses previously operated by Globalluxe. The Company’s distribution partner operates the KATE SPADE businesses in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia through distribution agreements and funded approximately $1.5 million to Globalluxe to acquire operating assets in certain regions. Globalluxe and its distribution partners operated six stores and one concession in Hong Kong, one concession in Taiwan, one store in Macau, two stores and one concession in Singapore, two stores in Malaysia, three stores and one concession in Indonesia, and two stores and six concessions in Thailand. Prior to the transaction, the Company maintained wholesale distribution to Globalluxe. Following the transaction, the Company maintains wholesale distribution to distributors who operate the businesses in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand and recognizes direct-to-consumer sales in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.

	The allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based upon the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets is reflected as goodwill. Accordingly, the Company recorded $21.8 million of goodwill, which is reflected in the KATE SPADE reportable segment. The recorded goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes.

	The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired as of the acquisition date:

	(b)	The decrease in the balance compared to March 30, 2013 primarily reflected the sale of the former Lucky Brand business and non-cash impairment charges recorded in the fourth quarter of 2013 associated with the wind-down of the JUICY COUTURE operations.

	Depreciation and amortization expense on property and equipment for the three months ended April 5, 2014 and March 30, 2013 was $16.2 million and $14.0 million, respectively, which included depreciation for property and equipment under capital leases of $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Property and equipment under capital leases was $9.3 million, $9.3 million and $22.6 million as of April 5, 2014, December 28, 2013 and March 30, 2013, respectively.

	During the third quarter of 2013, the Company sold the Ohio Facility for net proceeds of $20.3 million and entered into a sale-leaseback arrangement with the buyer for a 10-year term, which was classified as an operating lease. The Company realized a gain of $9.5 million associated with the sale-leaseback, which has been deferred and will be recognized as a reduction to Selling, general & administrative expenses (“SG&A”) over the lease term.

	During the second quarter of 2013, the Company sold its North Bergen, NJ office for net proceeds of $8.7 million. The Company entered into a sale-leaseback arrangement with the buyer for a 12-year term with two five-year renewal options, which was classified as a capital lease (see Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies).

	8. INCOME TAXES

	During the first quarter of 2014 and 2013, 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 three months ended April 5, 2014 and March 30, 2013 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, Japan, United Kingdom, Canada and Brazil. 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 2009. As a result of a 2009 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. In addition, the IRS and other taxing authorities can also subject the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards to further review when such net operation loss carryforwards are utilized.

	The Company expects a reduction in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits by an amount between $71.7 million and $73.8 million within the next 12 months due to either settlement or the expiration of the statute of limitations. As of April 5, 2014, uncertain tax positions of $84.1 million exist, which would provide an effective rate impact in the future if subsequently recognized.

(a)

The decrease in the balance compared to March 30, 2013 reflected the exchange of the remaining aggregate principal amount of the 6.0% Convertible Senior Notes due June 2014 (the “Convertible Notes”) during 2013. The balance at March 30, 2013 represented principal of $8.8 million and an unamortized debt discount of $0.6 million.

(b)

The increase in the balance compared to March 30, 2013 primarily reflected the sale-leaseback for the office building in North Bergen, NJ during the second quarter of 2013, partially offset by the expiration of a capital lease for machinery and equipment during the fourth quarter of 2013.

(c)

At April 5, 2014, December 28, 2013 and March 30, 2013, the balance consisted of outstanding borrowings under the Company’s amended and restated revolving credit facility (as amended to date, the “Amended Facility”) and obligations under capital leases.

(d)

The Convertible Notes were reflected as a current liability since they were convertible at March 30, 2013.

Convertible Notes

During the first quarter of 2013, a holder of $11.2 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes converted all of such outstanding Convertible Notes into 3,171,670 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company recognized $1.1 million pretax loss on the extinguishment of debt related to the Convertible Notes in the first quarter of 2013.

Senior Notes

On April 7, 2011, the Company completed an offering of $220.0 million principal amount of 10.5% Senior Secured Notes (the “Original Notes,” together with the June 2012 issuance of $152.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10.5% Senior Notes (the “Additional Notes”), the “Senior Notes”). The Company used the net proceeds of $212.9 million from such issuance of the Original Notes primarily to fund a tender offer of 128.5 million euro aggregate principal amount of 5.0% Euro Notes due July 8, 2013 (the “Euro Notes”) on April 8, 2011. 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 amount of Euro Notes on July 12, 2012. The Company used the remaining proceeds to fund a portion of the acquisition of a 51.0% interest in Kate Spade Japan Co., Ltd (“KSJ”).

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 registration rights agreements executed as part of the offering of Original Notes and the Additional Notes, the Company was required to complete SEC-registered offers to issue new Senior Notes (with substantially the same terms and principal amount) in exchange for the Original Notes and the Additional Notes. The Company was required to pay additional interest on the Senior Notes through the completion of the exchange offers on March 20, 2013. All accrued and unpaid additional interest was paid (together with regular interest on the Senior Notes) on April 15, 2013.

On March 14, 2014, the Company issued a conditional redemption notice (the “Notice”) with respect to the Senior Notes. Pursuant to the Notice, the Company gave holders of the Senior Notes notice that it would redeem up to $37.2 million aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes (the “Redemption Notes”) at a price equal to 103.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Redemption Notes, plus accrued interest. Such redemption occurred on April 14, 2014. The remaining principal amount of the Senior Notes of $334.8 million was redeemed in the second quarter of 2014 with the proceeds for a term loan issuance (see Note 20 – Subsequent Events).

Amended Facility

In April 2013, the Company completed a third amendment to and restatement of its revolving credit facility (as amended to date, the “Amended Facility”), which extended the maturity date from August 2014 to April 2018. Availability under the Amended Facility shall be the lesser of $350.0 million and a borrowing base that is computed monthly and comprised of the Company’s eligible cash, accounts receivable and inventory. The Amended Facility also includes a swingline subfacility of $55.0 million, a multicurrency subfacility of $100.0 million and the option to expand the facility by up to $100.0 million under certain specified conditions. A portion of the facility provided under the Amended Facility of up to $200.0 million is available for the issuance of letters of credit, and standby letters of credit may not exceed $65.0 million in the aggregate. 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 is guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries and secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and the other borrowers and guarantors (other than certain trademark collateral in which the holders of the Company’s Senior Notes have a first priority lien, which trademark collateral secures the obligations under the Amended Facility on a second priority lien basis).

The Amended Facility restricts the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur indebtedness, grant liens, issue cash dividends, enter into mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, change lines of business, make investments and acquisitions and sell assets, in each case subject to certain designated exceptions. In addition, the amended terms and conditions: (i) provide for a decrease in fees and interest rates (including eurocurrency spreads of 1.75% to 2.25% over LIBOR, depending on the level of availability); (ii) provide improved advance rates on eligible inventory; (iii) require the Company to maintain pro forma compliance with a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0:1.0 on a trailing 12 month basis if minimum aggregate borrowing availability falls below $35.0 million, or 10.0% of the commitments then in effect; (iv) require the Company to apply substantially all cash collections to reduce outstanding borrowings under the Amended Facility when availability under such facility falls below the greater of $40.0 million and 12.5% of the lesser of the borrowing base and aggregate commitments; (v) permit the acquisition of certain joint venture interests and certain distribution territories; (vi) decrease specified aggregate availability conditions to making certain other investments; and (vii) permit certain other acquisitions, investments, restricted payments, debt prepayments and incurrence of unsecured indebtedness if the Company is able to satisfy specified payment conditions.

Effective November 6, 2013, the Company entered into an amendment to the Amended Facility to permit the sale of the Juicy Couture IP and permit the Company to add back to Adjusted EBITDA such cash restructuring and transition charges associated with that transaction in the calculation of certain covenants included in the Company’s debt and credit facilities.

Effective February 3, 2014, the Company entered into an amendment to the Amended Facility to permit the sale of the former Lucky Brand business.

The funds available under the Amended Facility may be used for working capital and for general corporate purposes, including refinancing, repayment, repurchase and cash settlement of certain existing indebtedness. Acquisitions and other investments are permitted, subject to certain payment conditions. The Amended Facility contains customary events of default clauses and cross-default provisions with respect to the Company’s other outstanding indebtedness, including the Senior Notes.

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 April 5, 2014, availability under the Company’s Amended Facility was as follows:

Capital Lease Obligations

In the second quarter of 2013, the Company entered into a sale-leaseback agreement for its office building in North Bergen, NJ, which included a sale price of $8.7 million and total lease payments of $26.9 million over a 12-year lease term. The Company’s capital lease obligations of $8.9 million and $9.0 million as of April 5, 2014 and December 28, 2013, respectively, included $0.4 million within Short-term borrowings on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	'
	10. 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 following table presents the financial assets and liabilities the Company measured at fair value on a recurring basis, based on the fair value hierarchy:

			Level 2
	In thousands		April 5, 2014			December 28, 2013				March 30, 2013
	Financial Assets:
	Derivatives		$	1,052		$	1,701			$	608
	Financial Liabilities:
	Derivatives		$	--		$	--			$	(157	)

	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 2013, based on such fair value hierarchy:

			Net Carrying		Fair Value Measured and Recorded at								Total Losses

	Property and equipment		$	27	$	--		$	--		$	27	$	667


	As a result of a decision to revise the Company’s plan to outsource its distribution function (see Note 12 - Streamlining Initiatives), an impairment analysis was performed on certain property and equipment. The Company determined that a portion of the assets exceeded their fair values, resulting in an impairment charge, which was recorded in SG&A on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

	The fair values of the Company’s Level 3 Property and equipment are based on either a market approach or an income approach using the Company’s forecasted cash flows over 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:

			April 5, 2014					December 28, 2013					March 30, 2013
	In thousands		Fair Value		Carrying			Fair Value			Carrying		Fair Value		Carrying
	In thousands		Fair Value		Value			Fair Value			Value		Fair Value		Value
	6.0% Convertible Senior Notes, due June 2014 (a)		$	--	$	--		$	--		$	--	$	46,312	$	8,150

	Revolving credit facility (b)		4,900		4,900			2,997			2,997		44,084		44,084


	(a) Carrying values include unamortized debt discount or premium.
	(b) Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest based on market rate; accordingly its fair value approximates its carrying value.

	The fair values of the Company’s debt instruments were estimated using market observable inputs, including quoted prices in active markets, market indices and interest rate measurements. Within the hierarchy of fair value measurements, these are Level 2 fair values. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The estimated fair value of the Lucky Brand Note approximates its carrying value.

	Buying/Sourcing
	During the first quarter of 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with Hong Kong-based, global consumer goods exporter 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. Since 2009, the Company has completed various disposition transactions, including the licensing arrangements with J.C. Penney Corporation, Inc. (“JCPenney”) in the US and Puerto Rico and with QVC, Inc. (“QVC”), the sales of the KENSIE, KENSIE GIRL and MAC & JAC trademarks, the sale of the Juicy Couture IP and the sale of Lucky Brand, which resulted in the removal of buying/sourcing for such products from the Li & Fung buying/sourcing arrangement. As a result, the Company refunded $24.3 million of the closing payment in the second quarter of 2010 and $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2012 and settled $6.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. The Company was not required to make any payments to Li & Fung as a result of the sale of Lucky Brand. 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.

	In connection with the disposition of the Lucky Brand business, LIZ CLAIBORNE Canada retail stores, the LIZ CLAIBORNE branded outlet stores in the US and Puerto Rico and certain Mexx Canada retail stores, an aggregate of 277 store leases were assigned to or assumed by third parties, for which the Company remains secondarily liable for the remaining obligations on 208 such leases. As of April 5, 2014, the future aggregate payments under these leases amounted to $195.9 million and extended to various dates through 2025.

	On November 19, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to terminate the lease of its JUICY COUTURE flagship store on Fifth Avenue in New York City in exchange for $51.0 million, which is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2014.

	During the second quarter of 2013, the Company entered into a sale-leaseback agreement for its North Bergen, NJ office with a 12-year term and two five-year renewal options. This leaseback was classified as a capital lease and recorded at fair value. As of April 5, 2014, the estimated future minimum lease payments under the noncancelable capital lease were as follows:

	In millions
	2014	$	1,495

	The Company is a party to various 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.

	2014 Actions
	In connection with the sale of the Juicy Couture IP and former Lucky Brand business, the Board of Directors of the Company approved various changes to its senior management, which resulted in charges related to severance in the first quarter of 2014. As discussed in Note 17 – Share-Based Compensation, the Company’s Compensation Committee approved the continued vesting of unvested options and restricted stock awards without any required service period or the accelerated vesting of such awards for former employees, including former executive officers. In addition, as a result of the reduction of office space in the Company’s former New York office, the Company recorded charges related to contract terminations and other charges in the first quarter of 2014.

	2013 Actions
	In connection with the sale of the Juicy Couture IP, the Company initiated actions to reduce staff at JUICY COUTURE during the fourth quarter of 2013. Also, as a result of the requirement to wind down the JUICY COUTURE operations, the Company expects to close JUICY COUTURE offices and retail locations that will not be converted to KATE SPADE stores. These actions resulted in charges related to asset impairments, severance and other items and are expected to be substantially completed by the end of the second quarter of 2014.

	2011 Actions
	In the second quarter of 2011, the Company initiated actions to close its Ohio distribution center (the “Ohio Facility”), which were expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2012. In August 2012, the Company encountered systems and operational issues that delayed the planned migration of the Company’s product distribution function out of the Ohio Facility. Subsequently, the Company determined that it would continue to use the Ohio Facility and discontinue the migration of the product distribution function to Li & Fung, and the Company mutually agreed with Li & Fung to allow the distribution agreement with Li & Fung to expire as of January 31, 2013. On February 5, 2013, the Company entered into a contract with a third-party distribution center operations and labor management company to provide distribution operations services at the Ohio Facility. These actions resulted in charges related to contract terminations, severance, asset impairments and other charges and were substantially completed in the second quarter of 2013.

	For the three months ended April 5, 2014, the Company recorded pretax charges totaling $33.8 million related to these initiatives. The Company expects to pay approximately $16.7 million of accrued streamlining costs in the next 12 months. For the three months ended March 30, 2013, the Company recorded pretax charges of $4.7 million related to these initiatives, including $2.4 million of payroll and related costs, $0.2 million of contract termination costs, $0.7 million of asset write-downs and disposals and $1.4 million of other costs. Approximately $17.5 million and $0.7 million of these charges were non-cash during the three months ended April 5, 2014 and March 30, 2013, respectively.

	For the three months ended April 5, 2014 and March 30, 2013, expenses associated with the Company’s streamlining actions were primarily recorded in SG&A on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and impacted reportable segments and Corporate as follows:

	15. 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, e-commerce, concessions, wholesale apparel, wholesale non-apparel and licensing. The three 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 three reportable segments, each reflecting the different financial missions, cultural profiles and focal points appropriate for these three reportable segments:

	· KATE SPADE segment – consists of the specialty retail, outlet, e-commerce, concession, wholesale apparel, wholesale non-apparel (including accessories, jewelry and handbags) and licensing operations of the kate spade new york, KATE SPADE SATURDAY and JACK SPADE brands.
	· Adelington Design Group segment – consists of: (i) exclusive arrangements to supply jewelry for the 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 CLAIBORE NEW YORK brand.
	· JUICY COUTURE segment – consists of the specialty retail, outlet, wholesale apparel, wholesale non-apparel, e-commerce and licensing operations of the JUICY COUTURE brand. The Company continues wind-down operations of the JUICY COUTURE brand, pursuant to the license agreement with ABG.

	As discussed in Note 1 – Basis of Presentation, on February 3, 2014, the Company completed the sale of Lucky Brand.

	The Company’s Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the CODM. The Company’s measure of segment profitability is Adjusted EBITDA of each reportable segment. Accordingly, the CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources based primarily on Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Segment Adjusted EBITDA excludes: (i) depreciation and amortization; (ii) charges due to streamlining initiatives, brand-exiting activities and acquisition related costs; and (iii) losses on asset disposals and impairments. Unallocated Corporate costs also exclude non-cash share-based compensation expense. In addition, Segment Adjusted EBITDA does not include Corporate expenses associated with the following functions: corporate finance, investor relations, communications, legal, human resources and information technology shared services and costs of corporate facilities and the Company’s former executive offices, which are included in Unallocated Corporate costs. The Company does not allocate amounts reported below Operating loss to its reportable segments, other than equity income (loss) in the Company’s equity method investee. The Company’s definition of Segment Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

	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 and e-commerce sites). 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.

In order to reduce exposures related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company utilizes 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 KSJ. As of April 5, 2014, the Company had forward contracts maturing through March 2015 to sell 2.1 billion yen for $20.6 million.

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts outside the cash flow hedging program to manage currency risk associated with intercompany loans. As of April 5, 2014, the Company had forward contracts to sell 4.0 billion yen for $39.2 million maturing through June 2014. Transaction (losses) gains of $(0.6) million and $4.0 million related to these derivative instruments were reflected within Other expense, net for the three months ended April 5, 2014 and March 30, 2013, respectively.

	17. 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.

	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.

	During the first quarter of 2014, the Company’s Compensation Committee approved the continued vesting of unvested options and restricted stock awards without any required service period or the accelerated vesting of such awards for former employees, including former executive officers, upon their separation from the Company. Compensation expense related to the Company’s share-based payment awards totaled $20.3 million, which included $16.5 million that was classified as restructuring, and $1.8 million for the three months ended April 5, 2014 and March 30, 2013, 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.

			Three Months Ended
	Valuation Assumptions:		March 30, 2013
	Weighted-average fair value of options granted		$9.39
	Historic volatility		63.30%
	Weighted-average volatility		63.30%
	Expected term (in years)		5.1
	Dividend yield		—
	Risk-free rate		0.2% to 3.8%
	Expected annual forfeiture		13.50%

	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 2013. 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 April 5, 2014 and changes therein during the three month period then ended are as follows:

	As of April 5, 2014, there were approximately 0.9 million nonvested stock options. The weighted average grant date fair value per award for nonvested stock options was $6.54.

	As of April 5, 2014, there was $1.5 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 1.2 years. The total fair value of shares vested during the three month periods ended April 5, 2014 and March 30, 2013 was $1.4 million and $2.7 million, respectively.

	Restricted Stock
	In the first quarter of 2014, the Company granted 1,239,639 market share units (“MSUs”) to a group of key executives with an aggregate grant date fair value of $62.0 million as staking grants (“Staking Grants”) and as part of an annual long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”). The Staking Grants have a grant date fair value of $52.2 million and vest 50% on the third anniversary of grant and 50% on the fifth anniversary of grant. The MSUs included in the LTIP represent a portion of the awards granted under that plan, have a grant date fair value of $9.8 million and vest 50% on each of the second and third anniversaries of the grant date. The MSUs issued as Staking Grants and as part of the LTIP have a minimum earnout of 30% of target. The MSUs earned will vary from 30% to 200% of the number of MSUs awarded depending on the actual performance of the Company’s stock price over the vesting periods.

	The fair value for the MSUs granted was calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation model. For the three months ended April 5, 2014, the following assumptions were used in determining fair value:

		Three Months Ended
	Valuation Assumptions:	April 5, 2014
	Weighted-average fair value	$49.98
	Expected volatility	52.3%
	Dividend yield	—
	Risk-free rate	1.68%
	Weighted-average expected annual forfeiture	4.60%

	The other portion of the LTIP consists of an award of 196,416 performance shares that vests on the third anniversary of the grant date. The number of performance shares earned will vary from zero to 200% of the number of awards granted depending on the Company’s Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) relative to the TSR of the S&P Mid-Cap 400 Index. The performance shares have a grant date fair value of $8.6 million that was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. For the three months ended April 5, 2014, the following assumptions were used in determining fair value:

		Three Months Ended
	Valuation Assumptions:	April 5, 2014
	Weighted-average fair value	$43.85
Expected volatility	44.2%
Dividend yield	—
Risk-free rate	—
Weighted-average expected annual forfeiture	3.90%

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 included certain earnings metrics for consecutive periods through December 2013. These awards were determined to be unearned by the Compensation Committee based upon the review of performance at the conclusion of fiscal 2013, and were cancelled according to their terms.

A summary of award activity under restricted stock plans as of April 5, 2014 and changes therein during the three month period then ended are as follows:

	Shares	Weighted
		Average Grant
		Date Fair Value
Nonvested stock at December 28, 2013	1,035,250	$	14.93
Granted	1,525,805	48.31
Vested	-367,750	17.4
Cancelled (a)	-475,500	12.24
Nonvested stock at April 5, 2014	1,717,805	$	44.79

Expected to vest as of March April 5, 2014	1,420,665	$	45

(a) 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. These shares which were contingently issuable based on 2013 performance were deemed not earned and cancelled.

As of April 5, 2014, there was $60.1 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 3.4 years. The total fair value of shares vested during the three month periods ended April 5, 2014 and March 30, 2013 was $6.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

	In April 2014, new accounting guidance on the reporting of discontinued operations was issued, which revises the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted but only for disposals that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued. The adoption of the new guidance is not expected to affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

	On April 10, 2014, the Company entered into a term loan credit agreement which provides for term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million (collectively, the “Term Loan”) maturing in April 2021. The Term Loan is subject to amortization payments of $1.0 million per quarter, with the balance due at maturity. Interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan accrues at a rate equal to LIBOR (with a floor of 1.0%) plus 3.0% per annum, payable in cash. The Company used the net proceeds to redeem all of the Company’s remaining outstanding Senior Notes on May 12, 2014 as discussed below.

	On April 10, 2014, the Company issued a conditional redemption notice (the “Second Notice”) with respect to its Senior Notes. Pursuant to the Second Notice, the Company gave holders of the Senior Notes notice that, subject to certain conditions, it would redeem up to $334.8 million aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes at a price equal to 105.25% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Such redemption occurred on May 12, 2014, and no Senior Notes remain outstanding.

	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	'
	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 28, 2013.

	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 first quarter of 2014, 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 28, 2013.

	RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

	On December 29, 2013, the first day of the Company’s 2014 fiscal year, the Company adopted new accounting guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits, which requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows: to the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or that the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use; and the entity does not intend to use the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The adoption of the new accounting guidance did not affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
