Recent Accounting Pronouncements	'
	2	Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
	In July 2013, new accounting guidance was issued regarding financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit exists. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of this new guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	There are no other recent accounting pronouncements issued but not yet adopted that would have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Termination of Burberry License	'
		3	Termination of Burberry License:
	Burberry exercised its option to buy-out the license rights effective December 31, 2012. On October 11, 2012, the Company and Burberry entered into a transition agreement that provided for certain license rights and obligations to continue through March 31, 2013. The Company continued to operate certain aspects of the business for the brand including product development, testing, and distribution. The transition agreement provided for non-exclusivity for manufacturing, a cap on sales of Burberry products, a reduced advertising requirement and no minimum royalty amounts.
	The transition agreement provided that Burberry inventories at March 31, 2013 should be less than $20.0 million in the aggregate. Actual Burberry inventory as of March 31, 2013 aggregated approximately $18 million. During the second quarter of 2013, the Company and Burberry reached an agreement regarding inventory and Burberry agreed to purchase $7.8 million of inventory at cost. Remaining inventories were sold off in the ordinary course of business pursuant to our sell-off rights, destroyed or given to Burberry at no charge.
	As of September 30, 2013, the $10 million inventory reserve, recorded in December upon recognition of the license termination gain of $198.8 million, was fully consumed by the costs incurred for inventories given to Burberry at no charge, sold below cost and destroyed, together with commercial rebates and free merchandise given to customers over the sell-off period.
	Accounts receivables and accounts payables were collected and paid in the ordinary course of business. In addition, Burberry purchased fixed assets for $2.8 million as agreed in the transition agreement.

	The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents including money market funds, short-term investments, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value due to the short terms to maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of loans payable approximates fair value as the interest rates on the Company's indebtedness approximate current market rates.
	Foreign currency forward exchange contracts are valued based on quotations from financial institutions.

		6	Derivative Financial Instruments:
	The Company enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge exposure related to receivables denominated in a foreign currency and occasionally to manage risks related to future sales expected to be denominated in a foreign currency. The Company had no cash flow hedges during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
	The following table presents gains and losses in derivatives not designated as hedges and the location of those gains and losses in the financial statements (in thousands):
	Derivatives Not Designated		Location of Gain (Loss)	Nine months ended			Nine months ended

			Derivative
	Interest rate swaps		Interest expense	$	-		$	12
	Foreign exchange contracts		Gain (loss) on foreign currency	$	(27	)	$	(733	)
	All derivative instruments are reported as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet measured at fair value. The valuation of foreign currency forward exchange contracts not accounted for using hedge accounting as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, resulted in an asset and is included in other current assets on the accompanying balance sheets. Generally, increases or decreases in the fair value of derivative instruments will be recognized as gains or losses in earnings in the period of change. If the derivative instrument is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge, the changes in fair value of the derivative instrument will be recorded as a separate component of shareholders' equity.
	At September 30, 2013, we had foreign currency contracts in the form of forward exchange contracts in the amount of approximately U.S. $11 million and GB pounds £6.5 million which all have maturities of less than one year.

	Goodwill		$	954	$	-	$	-	$	954
	The goodwill and trademarks referred to above relate to the Company's Nickel skin care business which is primarily a component of our European operations. The Company has determined that it may be inclined to sell the Nickel business within the next few years. As a result, the Company has determined that as of December 31, 2012, the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeded fair value resulting in an impairment loss of $1.8 million. Accumulated impairment losses relating to goodwill aggregated $6.1 million as of December 31, 2012.
	To determine fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets, the Company uses an income approach, including the relief-from-royalty method. This method assumes that, in lieu of ownership, a third party would be willing to pay a royalty in order to obtain the rights to use the comparable asset. The relief-from-royalty calculations require us to make a number of assumptions and estimates concerning future sales levels, market royalty rates, future tax rates and discount rates. The Company uses this method to determine if an impairment charge is required relating to the Nickel trademarks. Although impairment charges have been taken in the past, no impairment charge relating to the Nickel trademarks was required in 2012, 2011 or 2010. The Company assumed a market royalty rate of 6% and a discount rate of 7.6%.

	9	Share-Based Payments:
	The Company maintains a stock option program for key employees, executives and directors. The plans, all of which have been approved by shareholder vote, provide for the granting of both nonqualified and incentive options. Options granted under the plans typically have a six year term and vest over a four to five year period. The fair value of shares vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 aggregated $0.04 million and $0.52 million, respectively. Compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. It is generally our policy to issue new shares upon exercise of stock options.
	The following table sets forth information with respect to nonvested options for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013:
			Number of Shares			Weighted Average
						Grant  Date Fair Value
	Nonvested options - beginning of period			346,075		$	5.02
	Nonvested options granted			9,000		$	6.17
	Nonvested options vested or forfeited			(12,855	)	$	4.29
	Nonvested options - end of period			342,220		$	5.07
	Share-based payment expense decreased income before income taxes by $0.21 million and $0.63 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013, respectively, as compared to $0.20 million and $0.63 million for the corresponding periods of the prior year. Share-based payment expense decreased income attributable to Inter Parfums, Inc. by $0.12 million and $0.34 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 respectively, as compared to $0.11 million and $0.35 million for the corresponding periods of the prior year.
	The following table summarizes stock option information as of September 30, 2013:
			Shares			Weighted Average
						Exercise Price
	Outstanding at January 1, 2013			716,235		$	14.41
	Options granted			9,000			21.95

	Options exercisable			264,135		$	12.64
	Options available for future grants			586,175
	As of September 30, 2013, the weighted average remaining contractual life of options outstanding is 2.94 years (1.49 years for options exercisable), the aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and options exercisable is $9.0 million and $4.6 million, respectively and unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options outstanding of Inter Parfums, Inc. aggregated $1.3 million. The amount of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options outstanding of our majority-owned subsidiary, Interparfums SA, was $0.19 million. Options under Interparfums SA plans vest over a four-year period.
	Cash proceeds, tax benefits and intrinsic value related to stock options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012 were as follows:
	(In thousands)		September 30,			September 30,

	Cash proceeds from stock options exercised		$	1,319		$	416
	Tax benefits			317			55
	Intrinsic value of stock options exercised			1,963			154
	The weighted average fair values of the options granted by Inter Parfums, Inc. during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were $6.17 and $4.99 per share, respectively, on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of options granted. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes pricing model for the periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are set forth in the following table:
			September  30,			September 30,
			2013			2012
	Weighted-average expected stock-price volatility			38	%		40	%
	Weighted-average expected option life			5 years			4.5 years
	Weighted-average risk-free interest rate			0.89	%		0.84	%
	Weighted-average dividend yield			2	%		1.7	%
	Expected volatility is estimated based on historic volatility of the Company's common stock. The expected term of the option is estimated based on historic data. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant of the option and the dividend yield reflects the assumption that the dividend payout as authorized by the Board of Directors would increase as the earnings of the Company and its stock price increases.

	10	Net Income Attributable to Inter Parfums, Inc. Common Shareholders:
	Net income attributable to Inter Parfums, Inc. per common share ("basic EPS") is computed by dividing net earnings attributable to Inter Parfums, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Net earnings attributable to Inter Parfums, Inc. per share assuming dilution ("diluted EPS"), is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding, plus the incremental shares outstanding assuming the exercise of dilutive stock options using the treasury stock method.
	The reconciliation between the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted EPS computations is as follows:
