	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Jones Group Inc. and its subsidiaries.  The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial information and in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  The consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the footnotes thereto included within our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
	In our opinion, the information presented reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of interim results.  All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.  The foregoing interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year ending December 31, 2013.
	Distribution costs.  Our cost of sales may not be comparable to those of other entities, since some entities include all of the costs associated with their distribution functions in cost of sales while we include these costs in selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses.  Distribution costs included in SG&A expenses for the fiscal quarters ended October 5, 2013 and September 29, 2012 were $23.7 million and $23.4 million, respectively.  Distribution costs included in SG&A expenses for the fiscal nine months ended October 5, 2013 and September 29, 2012 were $70.6 million and $68.1 million, respectively.

	Brian Atwood
	On July 2, 2012, we acquired an 80% interest in Brian Atwood-related intellectual property (the "intellectual property") from BA Holding Group, Inc., BKA International, Inc. and Brian Atwood, we acquired 100% of the equity interests in Atwood Italia S.r.l., and we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Brian Atwood, Ltd. (collectively, "Brian Atwood").  The purchase price was $5.5 million, of which $5.0 million was paid in 2012.  We deferred $0.5 million of the purchase price, with payment subject to an indemnification holding period as set forth in the acquisition agreement, which was paid during the fiscal nine months ended October 5, 2013.
	The remaining 20% interest in the intellectual property was recorded as a noncontrolling interest, with the fair value based on projected cash flows related to that property.  Brian Atwood has the right, under certain conditions, to require us to repurchase a portion of his noncontrolling ownership interest at a predetermined multiple of the previous year's distributable cash flows generated by the intellectual property.
	We pursued the acquisition of Brian Atwood to increase our international presence and further extend our reach into the designer footwear business.  Brian Atwood's luxury wholesale footwear business is reported in our international wholesale segment.
	The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Brian Atwood on July 2, 2012.

	Total liabilities assumed				6.7
	Fair value of noncontrolling interest				1.2
	Total purchase price			$	5.5
	The gross contractual accounts receivable acquired from Brian Atwood was $0.5 million.
	The fair values of the acquired intangibles were determined using discounted cash flow models using a discount factor based on an estimated risk-adjusted weighted average cost of capital.  The customer relationships were valued using a "with and without" model, the trademarks using a relief-from-royalty model and the order backlog using multi-period excess earnings model.
	The acquisition resulted in the recognition of $3.2 million of goodwill, which will not be deductible for tax purposes.  Goodwill largely consists of expected synergies resulting from the leveraging of the combined networks of partners, infrastructure and customer relationships to expand product distribution worldwide, as well as the acquired assembled workforce, which does not qualify as an amortizable intangible asset, and the potential for both product extensions, such as apparel, and the introduction of Brian Atwood retail locations.  The goodwill has been assigned to our domestic wholesale footwear and accessories segment, as we pursued the acquisition to acquire majority ownership interest in the Brian Atwood-related trademarks, under which our existing B Brian Atwood domestic footwear business is licensed.  Pro forma total revenues and results of operations reflecting the acquisition of Brian Atwood are not presented, as the acquisition is not material to our financial position or our results of operations.

	On June 20, 2008, we acquired a 10% equity interest in GRI Group Limited ("GRI"), an international accessories and apparel brand management and retail-distribution network, for $20.2 million.  On June 24, 2009, we increased our equity interest to 25% for an additional $15.2 million.  The selling shareholders of GRI were entitled to receive an additional cash payment equaling 60% of the amount of GRI's fiscal year 2011 net income that exceeded a certain threshold, and on June 21, 2012, we made a cash payment to them of $3.5 million in satisfaction of the obligation.  On August 30, 2013, we increased our equity interest to 34.25% for an additional $14.7 million.  GRI is the exclusive licensee of several of our brands in Asia, including Nine West, Anne Klein, AK Anne Klein, Easy Spirit, Enzo Angiolini and Joan & David.  GRI also distributes other women's apparel, shoes and accessory brands not owned by us.  See "Related Party Transactions" for additional information regarding GRI.

	During 2009, we decided to discontinue the domestic manufacturing, product development and sourcing activities of our jewelry business, and also announced the closing of our jewelry distribution center during 2010.  We accrued $0.2 million of lease termination costs in the fiscal nine months ended September 29, 2012.  The details of the jewelry restructuring accruals are as follows:
	(In millions)	Lease

	Balance, January 1, 2013	$	1.4
	Payments and reductions		(0.3	)
	Balance, October 5, 2013	$	1.1
	The net accrual of $1.3 million at September 29, 2012 is reported as $0.4 million of accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $0.9 million of other noncurrent liabilities.  The net accrual of $1.1 million at October 5, 2013 is reported as $0.4 million of accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $0.7 million of other noncurrent liabilities.
	Retail Stores
	We continue to review our domestic retail operations for underperforming locations.  As a result of these reviews, we have decided to close retail locations that no longer provide strategic benefits.  During the fiscal nine months ended October 5, 2013, we decided to close 120 underperforming domestic retail locations throughout 2013 and 2014 in addition to the 50 store closings announced in the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2012.  We expect to operate a smaller and more productive chain of domestic locations, with outlet stores comprising a significantly higher percentage of the overall retail portfolio.  We will continue to critically assess individual store profitability, including consideration of converting certain locations to brands that offer the greatest opportunity for revenue growth.
	During the first fiscal nine months of 2013 and 2012, we closed 66 and 85 locations, respectively, under this plan.  Total termination benefits and associated employee costs for all locations closed since 2009 and identified to be closed are expected to be $14.3 million for approximately 3,000 employees, including both store employees and administrative support personnel.  We accrued $3.4 million and $1.6 million of termination benefits and associated employee costs during the first fiscal nine months of 2013 and 2012, respectively.  We also incurred $3.2 million and $0.4 million in the fiscal nine months ended October 5, 2013 and September 29, 2012, respectively, for costs to terminate leases.  In connection with our decision to close these locations, we reviewed the associated long-term assets for impairments.  As a result of these reviews, we recorded $6.1 million and $0.4 million of impairment losses in the fiscal nine months ended October 5, 2013 and September 29, 2012, respectively, on leasehold improvements and furniture and fixtures present in the locations to be closed.  These costs are reported as SG&A expenses in the domestic retail segment.

	The net accrual of $1.1 million at September 29, 2012 is reported as $1.0 million of accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $0.1 million of other noncurrent liabilities.  The net accrual of $2.9 million at October 5, 2013 is reported as accrued expenses and other current liabilities.
	Other Cost Reduction Initiatives
	During the fiscal nine months ended October 5, 2013, we implemented actions to reduce costs in certain selling, supply chain and corporate back office functions (primarily through headcount reductions) and to optimize our wholesale sportswear channel by streamlining our structure to support a brand-focused organization, including the consolidation of certain production, design and selling divisions and consolidation of distribution and supply chain facilities.  We recorded $4.3 million of employee termination costs in the fiscal nine months ended October 5, 2013 for approximately 100 employees.  These costs are reported as SG&A expenses and affect all of our reportable segments.  Additional actions may be taken during 2013 as we continue to assess our operations for opportunities to reduce costs and improve profitability.

	FAIR VALUES
	ASC Subtopic 820-10 defines fair value 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.  ASC Subtopic 820-10 outlines a valuation framework, creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements, and details the disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value.  We are permitted to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value, although we did not elect the fair value measurement option for any of our financial assets or liabilities.  Our financial assets and liabilities are to be measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy, which are as follows:
	·	Level 1 - inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access at the measurement date;
	·	Level 2 - inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs); and
	·	Level 3 - unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing assets or liabilities based on the best information available.
	Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
	We have certain financial assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value.  These include:
	·	the assets and liabilities of The Jones Group Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Rabbi Trust"), which represent deferred employee compensation invested in mutual funds and which fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy;
	·	deferred director fees, which represent phantom units of our common stock that have a fair value based on the market price of our common stock and which fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy;
	·	foreign currency forward contracts, which have fair values calculated by comparing foreign exchange forward rates to the contract rates discounted at our incremental borrowing rate,   which fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy;
	·	interest rate swap and cap contracts, which have fair values calculated by comparing current yield curves and LIBOR rates to the stated contract rates adjusted for estimated risk of counterparty nonperformance,  which fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy;
	·	long-term debt that is hedged by interest rate swaps as a fair-value hedge, calculated by comparing current yield curves and LIBOR rates to the stated contract rates of the associated interest rate swaps, which falls within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; and
	·	consideration liabilities recorded as a result of the acquisition of Moda Nicola International, LLC ("Moda") and Stuart Weitzman Holdings, LLC ("SWH"), which have fair values based on our projections of financial results and cash flows for the acquired business and a discount factor based on our weighted average cost of capital, and which fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
	In accordance with the fair value hierarchy described above, the following table shows the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 29, 2012, December 31, 2012 and October 5, 2013.

					Discount rate	12.00%
The valuation processes for the contingent consideration liability for the acquisition of Moda is based on the associated acquisition agreement.  Our inputs include probability-weighted projections of financial results for the acquired business and a discount rate based on our weighted average cost of capital.  We internally calculate the estimated liability using projected financial information provided by the operating divisions.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Moda contingent consideration liability are net sales growth, a gross margin multiplier (as defined in the acquisition agreement) and a discount factor.  An increase in the net sales or gross margin multiplier inputs would increase the fair value of the liability, while an increase in the discount rate would decrease the fair value of the liability.  There is no interrelationship between the unobservable inputs.  Changes in the fair value of the Moda contingent consideration liability are reported as adjustments to SG&A expenses in the domestic wholesale sportswear segment.
The remaining contingent consideration liability related to the acquisition of SWH is $1.0 million.  Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability for SWH are reported as adjustments to interest expense.  Payment of the remaining liability will be deferred until certain conditions are met.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
In accordance with the fair value hierarchy described above, the following table shows the fair value of our non-financial assets and liabilities that were required to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at September 29, 2012 and October 5, 2013, and the total losses recorded as a result of the remeasurement process.

During the fiscal nine months ended September 29, 2012 and October 5, 2013, property and equipment utilized in our retail operations with a carrying amount of $0.4 million and $6.9 million, respectively, were written down to fair values of zero and $0.8 million, respectively, primarily as a result of our decision to close underperforming retail locations.  These losses were recorded as SG&A expenses in the domestic retail segment.  We consider long-term assets utilized in a retail location to be impaired when a pattern of operating losses at or a decision to close the location indicate that future operating losses are probable and that the resulting cash flows will not be sufficient to recover the carrying value of the associated long-term assets.  During the fiscal nine months ended October 5, 2013, leasehold improvements with a carrying value of $0.8 million in facilities to be sublet were written down to a fair value of zero, as we will incur a loss on the subleases.  This loss was recorded as an SG&A expense in the domestic wholesale footwear and accessories segment.
Financial Instruments
As a result of our global operating and financing activities, we are exposed to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates which may adversely affect results of operations and financial condition.  In seeking to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with such activities, we manage exposure to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates through our regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments.  The instruments eligible for utilization include forward, option and swap agreements.  We do not use financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.  At October 5, 2013, we had outstanding foreign exchange contracts to exchange Canadian Dollars for a total notional value of US$5.4 million at a weighted-average exchange rate of 1.012 maturing through January 2014 and to exchange 6.0 million British Pounds for U.S. Dollars at an exchange rate of 1.623 maturing in December 2013.
At October 5, 2013, September 29, 2012 and December 31, 2012, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable approximated their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.  The estimated fair values of other financial instruments subject to fair value disclosures were valued using market comparable inputs.  These inputs include broker quotes, quoted market prices, interest rates and exchange rates for the same or similar instruments.  The fair value and related carrying amounts for items not disclosed elsewhere are as follows:
(In millions)	5-Oct-13												29-Sep-12							31-Dec-12

Notes receivable			2				7.1				6.3				-				-			-			-
Financial instruments expose us to counterparty credit risk for nonperformance and to market risk for changes in interest and currency rates.  We manage exposure to counterparty credit risk through specific minimum credit standards, diversification of counterparties and procedures to monitor the amount of credit exposure.  Our financial instrument counterparties are substantial investment or commercial banks with significant experience with such instruments.

	CREDIT FACILITIES
	We have a secured revolving credit agreement expiring on April 28, 2016 (the "Credit Facility") with several lending institutions to borrow an aggregate principal amount of up to $650 million.  The terms and conditions of our Credit Facility provide for, among other things: (1) a $350 million U.S. commitment which may be drawn by the U.S. borrowers as revolving loans in U.S. Dollars or letters of credit in Canadian Dollars, U.S. Dollars, or an "LC Alternative Currency" (namely Euros, sterling, or any other currency acceptable to the lenders); and (2) a $300 million international commitment which may be drawn by the U.S. borrowers or by any Canadian or European borrowers as revolving loans or letters of credit in Canadian Dollars, U.S. Dollars, or an LC Alternative Currency.  Up to the entire amount of the Credit Facility is available for cash borrowings, with an overall sublimit of up to $350 million for all letters of credit.  All of the overall $350 million sublimit may be used for trade letters of credit; and within that overall sublimit, there are additional sublimits, including (but not limited to) $50 million for standby letters of credit and $150 million for letters of credit under the U.S. commitment denominated in an LC Alternative Currency.
	Borrowings under the Credit Facility may be used to refinance certain existing indebtedness, to make certain investments (including acquisitions), and for general corporate purposes in the ordinary course of business.  Such borrowings bear interest either based on the alternate base rate, as defined in the Credit Facility, or based on Eurocurrency rates, each with a margin that depends on the availability remaining under the Credit Facility.  The Credit Facility contains customary events of default.
	Availability under the Credit Facility is determined with reference to a borrowing base consisting of a percentage of eligible inventory, accounts receivable, credit card receivables and licensee receivables, minus reserves determined by the joint collateral agents.  At October 5, 2013, we had $78.0 million in cash borrowings and $18.3 million of letters of credit outstanding, and our remaining availability was $448.3 million.  If availability under the Credit Facility falls below a stated level, we will be required to comply with a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio.  The Credit Facility also contains affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, will limit or restrict our ability to (1) incur indebtedness, (2) create liens, (3) merge, consolidate, liquidate or dissolve, (4) make investments (including acquisitions), loans or advances, (5) sell assets, (6) enter into sale and leaseback transactions, (7) enter into swap agreements, (8) make certain restricted payments (including dividends and other payments in respect of capital stock), (9) enter into transactions with affiliates, (10) enter into restrictive agreements, and (11) amend material documents.  The Credit Facility is secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our personal property.

	We recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value.  Additionally, the fair value adjustments will affect either equity or net income, depending on whether the derivative instrument qualifies as a hedge for accounting purposes and, if so, the nature of the hedging activity.
	Interest Rate Swaps and Caps
	On December 14, 2010, we entered into three interest rate swap transactions to effectively convert the entire amount of our $250 million fixed-rate 5.125% Senior Notes due 2014 (the "2014 Notes") to variable-rate debt.  Under the terms of the transactions, we were required to make semiannual variable-rate payments to the counterparties calculated based on three-month LIBOR rates (which were reset on the 15th day of each calendar quarter) plus 3.46%, and the counterparties were obligated to make semiannual fixed-rate payments to us of 5.125%.  The swap transactions had an effective date of December 17, 2010 and a termination date of November 15, 2014, the date the 2014 Notes mature.  On June 8, 2012, we de-designated the hedging relationship between the swaps and the 2014 Notes and received $5.7 million upon termination of the swaps.  The related fair market valuation adjustment to the 2014 Notes is being amortized as a reduction of interest expense over the remaining life of the 2014 notes.
	On March 19, 2012, we entered into three interest rate swap transactions to effectively convert $150 million of our 2019 Notes to variable-rate debt.  Under the terms of the transactions, we were required to make semiannual variable-rate payments to the counterparties calculated based on one-month LIBOR rates (which were reset on the 15th day of each calendar quarter) plus 5.195%, and the counterparties were obligated to make semiannual fixed-rate payments to us of 6.875%.  The swap transactions had an effective date of March 21, 2012 and a termination date of March 15, 2019, the date the 2019 Notes mature.  On May 31, 2012, we de-designated the hedging relationship between the swaps and the 2019 Notes and received $3.5 million upon termination of the swaps.  The related fair market valuation adjustment to the 2019 Notes is being amortized as a reduction of interest expense over the remaining life of the 2019 Notes.
	During 2013, we entered into various interest rate swap transactions to effectively convert a portion of our 2019 Notes to variable-rate debt.  Under the terms of the transactions, we are required to make semiannual variable-rate payments to the counterparties (which are reset in arrears on each payment date) as shown in the table below, and the counterparties are obligated to make semiannual fixed-rate payments to us of 6.875%.  The swap transactions all have a termination date of March 15, 2019, the date the 2019 Notes mature.

	We have an outstanding interest rate cap that was used in conjunction with previous interest rate swaps on our $250 million 5.125% Senior Notes due 2014 to limit our floating rate exposure.  The cap has a termination date of November 15, 2014.
	The swap transactions are designated as hedges of the fair value of the related notes.  The fair values of the swaps are recorded either as an asset or a liability, with changes in their fair values recorded through interest expense.  The changes in fair value of the notes related to the hedged portion of the notes are also recorded through interest expense.  As these changes in fair value do not exactly offset each other, the net effect on earnings represents the ineffectiveness of the hedging instruments.  We evaluate effectiveness under the "long haul" method of accounting.  The interest rate cap has not been designated as a hedging instrument; as a result, all changes in the fair value of the cap are recorded through interest expense.
	We recorded net increases in interest expense related to the ineffectiveness of the swaps and the changes in the fair value of the cap as follows.

	Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
	We use foreign currency forward contracts for the specific purpose of hedging the exposure to variability in forecasted cash flows associated primarily with inventory purchases.  Fair values of foreign currency forward contracts are calculated by comparing each agreement's contractual exchange rate with the currency exchange forward and spot rates at the reporting date.
	We have outstanding forward contracts to exchange Canadian Dollars for U.S. Dollars.  These contracts are designated as cash flow hedges, as the principal terms of the contracts are the same as the underlying forecasted foreign currency cash flows.  Therefore, changes in the fair value of these forward contracts are highly effective in offsetting changes in the expected foreign currency cash flows.  Changes in the fair value of these contracts are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of related tax effects, with the corresponding asset or liability recorded in the balance sheet.  Amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income are reflected in current-period earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings.
	Since the foreign currency derivatives we use in our risk management strategies are highly effective hedges because all the critical terms of the derivative instruments match those of the hedged item, we record no ineffectiveness related to our cash flow hedges.  If foreign currency exchange rates do not change from their October 5, 2013 amounts, we estimate that any reclassifications from other comprehensive income to earnings within the next 12 months will not be material.
	We also currently have outstanding forward contracts to exchange British Pounds for U.S. Dollars.  These contracts have not been designated as hedges.  Therefore, changes in the fair value of these contracts are recorded through earnings, with the corresponding asset or liability recorded in the balance sheet.
	The notional amounts of our foreign exchange contracts outstanding at October 5, 2013, September 29, 2012 and December 31, 2012 are as follows.  For additional information, see "Fair Values."

SEGMENT INFORMATION [Abstract]	'
SEGMENT INFORMATION	'
	SEGMENT INFORMATION
	We identify operating segments based on, among other things, differences in products sold and the way our management organizes the components of our business for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance.  Our operations are comprised of six reportable segments: domestic wholesale sportswear, domestic wholesale jeanswear, domestic wholesale footwear and accessories, domestic retail, international wholesale and international retail.  Segment revenues are generated from the sale of apparel, footwear and accessories through wholesale channels and our own retail locations.  The wholesale segments include wholesale operations with third party department and other retail stores, the retail segments include operations by our own stores, concession locations and e-commerce web sites, and income and expenses related to trademarks, licenses and general corporate functions are reported under "licensing, other and eliminations."
	We define segment income as operating income before net interest expense, goodwill impairment charges, gains or losses on sales of subsidiaries, equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates and income taxes.  Sales and transfers between segments generally are recorded at cost and treated as transfers of inventory, which are not reviewed by management when evaluating segment performance.  The wholesale segments allocate to the retail segments a portion of their SG&A costs related to the inventory transferred to those divisions where the retail operations benefit from those costs.
	Summarized below are our revenues and income by reportable segment for the fiscal quarters and nine months ended October 5, 2013 and September 29, 2012.  We are an integrated enterprise, characterized by substantial intersegment cooperation, cost allocations, and sharing of assets.  Therefore, we do not represent that these segments, if operated independently, would report the operating profit and other financial information shown below.

	In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05, "Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity."  ASU 2013-05 requires an entity to release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income when it ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided.  For an equity method investment that is a foreign entity, a pro rata portion of the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income upon a partial sale of such an equity method investment.  Additionally, the amendments clarify that the sale of an investment in a foreign entity includes both (1) events that result in the loss of a controlling financial interest in a foreign entity (that is, irrespective of any retained investment) and (2) events that result in an acquirer obtaining control of an acquiree in which it held an equity interest immediately before the acquisition date (sometimes also referred to as a step acquisition).  Accordingly, the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income upon the occurrence of those events.  For public entities, the amendments are effective prospectively for fiscal years (and interim reporting periods within those years) beginning after December 15, 2013.  Early adoption is permitted.  If an entity elects to early adopt the amendments, it should apply them as of the beginning of the entity's fiscal year of adoption.  The adoption of ASU 2013-05 will not have a material impact on our results of operations or our financial position.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists."  ASU 2013-11 requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, in the financial statements 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 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 amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years (and interim periods within those years) beginning after December 15, 2013.  The adoption of ASU 2013-11 will not have a material impact on our results of operations or our financial position.
