Basis of Presentation and Summary Accounting Policies	'
	NOTE A — BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Organization and business
	Lifetime Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) designs, sources and sells branded kitchenware, tableware and other products used in the home and markets its products under a number of brand names and trademarks, which are either owned or licensed by the Company or through retailers’ private labels. The Company markets and sells its products principally on a wholesale basis to retailers. The Company also markets and sells a limited selection of its products directly to consumers through its Pfaltzgraff®, Mikasa®, Housewares Deals® and Lifetime Sterling® Internet websites.
	Basis of presentation
	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013.
	The Company’s business and working capital needs are highly seasonal, with a majority of sales occurring in the third and fourth quarters. In 2012 and 2011, net sales for the third and fourth quarters accounted for 58% and 59% of total annual net sales, respectively. In anticipation of the pre-holiday shipping season, inventory levels increase primarily in the June through October time period.
	Revenue recognition
	The Company sells products wholesale, to retailers and distributors, and retail, directly to consumers. Wholesale sales and retail sales are recognized when title passes to the customer, which is primarily at the shipping point for wholesale sales and upon delivery to the customer for retail sales. Shipping and handling fees that are billed to customers in sales transactions are included in net sales and amounted to $266,000 and $281,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $918,000 and $868,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Net sales exclude taxes that are collected from customers and remitted to the taxing authorities.
	The Company offers various sales incentives and promotional programs to its customers from time to time in the normal course of business. These incentives and promotions typically include arrangements such as cooperative advertising, buydowns, volume rebates and discounts. These arrangements and an estimate of sales returns are reflected as reductions in net sales in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.
	Cost of sales
	Cost of sales consist primarily of costs associated with the production and procurement of product, inbound freight costs, purchasing costs, royalties and other product procurement related charges.
	Distribution expenses
	Distribution expenses consist primarily of warehousing expenses and freight-out expenses.
	Inventory
	Inventory consists principally of finished goods sourced from third-party suppliers. Inventory also includes finished goods, work in process and raw materials related to the Company’s manufacture of sterling silver products. Inventory is priced using the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market method. The Company estimates the selling price of its inventory on a product by product basis based on the current selling environment. If the estimated selling price is lower than the inventory’s cost, the Company reduces the value of the inventory to its net realizable value.
	The components of inventory are as follows:
		September 30,		December 31,
		2013		2012
		(in thousands)
	Finished goods		127,413	$	101,021
	Work in process		2,742		2,046
	Raw materials		2,897		1,517
	Total	$	133,052	$	104,584
	Fair value of financial instruments
	The Company determined the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are reasonable estimates of their fair values because of their short-term nature. The Company determined that the carrying amounts of borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit facility and senior secured term loan approximate fair value since such borrowings bear interest at variable market rates.
	Derivatives
	The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with ASC Topic No. 815, Derivatives and Hedging. ASC Topic No. 815 requires that all derivative instruments be recognized on the balance sheet at fair value as either an asset or liability. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that qualify as hedges and have been designated as part of a hedging relationship for accounting purposes have no net impact on earnings to the extent the derivative is considered highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the risk being hedged, until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. If the derivative which is designated as part of a hedging relationship is considered ineffective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the risk being hedged, the changes in fair value are recorded in operations. For derivatives that do not qualify or are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes, changes in fair value are recorded in operations.
	The Company is a party to an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $30.6 million to manage interest rate exposure in connection with its variable interest rate borrowings. The hedge period in the agreement commenced in March 2013 and expires in June 2018 and the notional amount amortizes over this period. The interest rate swap agreement was designated as a cash flow hedge under ASC Topic No. 815. The effective portion of the fair value gain or loss on this agreement is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. The effect of recording this derivative at fair value resulted in an unrealized loss of $48,000, net of taxes, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and an unrealized gain of $196,000, net of taxes, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. No amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss are expected to be reclassified to interest expense in the next twelve months.
	The fair value of the derivative has been obtained from the counterparty to the agreement and was based on Level 2 observable inputs using proprietary models and estimates about relevant future market conditions. The aggregate fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments was a liability of $127,000 at September 30, 2013 and is included in accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities.
	Employee Healthcare
	The Company self-insures certain portions of its health insurance plan. The Company maintains an accrual for unpaid claims and estimated claims incurred but not yet reported (“IBNR”). Although management believes that it uses the best information available to estimate IBNR, actual claims may vary significantly from estimated claims.
	Restructuring Expenses
	Costs associated with restructuring activities are recorded at fair value when a liability has been incurred. A liability has been incurred at the point of closure for any remaining operating lease obligations and at the communication date for severance.
	In April 2013, the Company commenced a plan to close the Fred® & Friends distribution center and eliminate certain employee positions in conjunction with the closure. The Company recorded $79,000 of restructuring expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and $367,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 related to the execution of this plan. The Company does not expect to incur any further restructuring expenses related to this closure.
	Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements
	Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted ASU No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income (e.g., net periodic pension benefit cost), an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. In connection with the adoption of this standard, the Company added additional disclosure about the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive income to Note J of its financial statements.

	NOTE B — INVESTMENTS
	The Company owns approximately a 30% interest in Grupo Vasconia S.A.B. (“Vasconia”), an integrated manufacturer of aluminum products and one of Mexico’s largest housewares companies. Shares of Vasconia’s capital stock are traded on the Bolsa Mexicana de Valores, the Mexican Stock Exchange (www.bmv.com.mx). The Quotation Key is VASCONI. The Company accounts for its investment in Vasconia using the equity method of accounting and records its proportionate share of Vasconia’s net income in the Company’s statement of operations. Accordingly, the Company has recorded its proportionate share of Vasconia’s net income (loss) (reduced for amortization expense related to the customer relationships acquired) for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The value of the Company’s investment balance has been translated from Mexican Pesos (“MXN”) to U.S. Dollars (“USD”) using the spot rate of MXN 13.15 and MXN 12.97 at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The Company’s proportionate share of Vasconia’s net income (loss) has been translated from MXN to USD using the average exchange rate of MXN 12.90 and MXN 13.15 during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and MXN 12.41 to MXN 12.77 and MXN 13.21 to MXN 13.24 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The effect of the translation of the Company’s investment resulted in a decrease to the investment of $0.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and an increase to the investment of $1.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 (also see Note J). These translation effects are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Included in prepaid expenses and other current assets at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are amounts due from Vasconia of $73,000 and $71,000, respectively. Included in accrued expenses at September 30, 2013 are amounts due to Vasconia of $98,000.
	Summarized statement of income (loss) information for Vasconia in USD and MXN is as follows:

	Net Income		1,794			22,273			6,918		91,482
	The Company recorded equity in losses of Vasconia, net of taxes, of $5.3 million (including a charge of $5.0 million, net of tax, for the reduction in its fair value, as discussed in the following paragraph) for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and equity in earnings of Vasconia, net of taxes, of $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, and equity in losses of Vasconia, net of taxes, of $4.7 million and equity in earnings of Vasconia, net of taxes, of $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	As a result of a decline in the quoted stock price and the 2013 quarterly decline in the operating results of Vasconia, the carrying amount of the Company’s investment in Vasconia exceeded its fair value and, therefore, the Company reduced its investment value by $5.0 million, net of tax, to its fair value. As of September 30, 2013, the fair value (based upon the quoted stock price) and carrying value of the Company’s investment in Vasconia was $29.5 million.
	The Company has a 40% equity interest in GS Internacional S/A (“GSI”), a leading wholesale distributor of branded housewares products in Brazil, which the Company acquired in December 2011. The Company recorded equity in losses of GSI of $132,000 and $45,000, net of taxes, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $398,000 and $217,000, net of taxes, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

	The Company performed its 2013 annual impairment test for its indefinite-lived intangible assets as of October 1, 2013. The test, which is required to be performed annually, involved the assessment of the fair market value of the Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets based on Level 2 observable inputs, using a discounted cash flow approach, assuming a discount rate of 12.5%-14.0% and an average annual growth rate of 2.0%-3.5%. The result of the assessment of the Company’s indefinite-lived intangibles indicated that the fair values exceeded the carrying values as of October 1, 2013. In addition, the Company assessed the carrying value of its goodwill and determined based on qualitative factors that no impairment existed.
	In the third quarter of 2012, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1.1 million in its statement of operations which reduced the book value of its Elements® trade name as of September 30, 2012.

Debt

Debt	'
	NOTE D — DEBT
	Revolving Credit Facility
	The Company has a $175.0 million secured credit agreement (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), maturing on July 27, 2017, with a bank group led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.
	Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at one of the following rates: (i) the Alternate Base Rate, defined as the greater of the Prime Rate, Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% or the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.0%, plus a margin of 1.0% to 1.75%, or (ii) the Eurodollar Rate, defined as the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus a margin of 2.0% to 2.75%. The respective margins are based upon availability. Interest rates on outstanding borrowings at September 30, 2013 ranged from 2.4375% to 4.50%. In addition, the Company pays a commitment fee of 0.375% to 0.50% on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility.
	At September 30, 2013, borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility were $65.1 million and open letters of credit were $1.1 million. Availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was approximately $102.2 million, or 58.4% of the total loan commitment at September 30, 2013.
	The Company classifies a portion of the Revolving Credit Facility as a current liability if the Company’s intent and ability is to repay the loan from cash flows from operations which are expected to occur within the next 12 months. Repayments and borrowings under the facility can vary significantly from planned levels based on cash flow needs and general economic conditions. The Company expects that it will continue to borrow and repay funds, subject to availability, under the facility based on working capital and other corporate needs.
	Senior Secured Term Loan
	The Company has a second lien credit agreement (the “Senior Secured Term Loan”), which matures on July 27, 2018, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. At September 30, 2013, the Senior Secured Term Loan balance was $31.5 million.
	The Senior Secured Term Loan bears interest, at the Company’s option, at the Alternate Base Rate (as defined) plus 4.00%, or the Adjusted LIBOR Rate (as defined) plus 5.00%. The Company is a party to an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $30.6 million to manage interest rate exposure in connection with its variable interest rate borrowings. The hedge period in the agreement commenced in March 2013 and expires in June 2018, and the notional amount amortizes over this period.

Business Segments	'

	The Company operates in two reportable business segments: the Wholesale segment, the Company’s primary business segment, in which the Company designs, markets and distributes products to retailers and distributors, and the Retail Direct segment, in which the Company markets and sells a limited selection of its products directly to consumers through its Pfaltzgraff®, Mikasa®, Housewares Deals® and Lifetime Sterling® Internet websites. The operating results of Fred® & Friends since December 20, 2012, the date of the acquisition, are included in the Wholesale segment.
	The Company has segmented its operations to reflect the manner in which management reviews and evaluates the results of its operations. While both segments distribute similar products, the segments have been distinct due to the different methods the Company uses to sell, market and distribute the products. Management evaluates the performance of the Wholesale and Retail Direct segments based on net sales and income from operations. Such measures give recognition to specifically identifiable operating costs such as cost of sales, distribution expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses. Certain general and administrative expenses, such as senior executive salaries and benefits, stock compensation, director fees and accounting, legal and consulting fees, are not allocated to the specific segments and are reflected as unallocated corporate expenses.

	Wallace Silversmiths de Puerto Rico, Ltd. (“Wallace de Puerto Rico”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, operates a manufacturing facility in San Germán, Puerto Rico that is leased from the Puerto Rico Industrial Development Company (“PRIDCO”). In March 2008, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) announced that the San Germán Ground Water Contamination site in Puerto Rico (the “Site”) had been added to the Superfund National Priorities List due to contamination present in the local drinking water supply.
	In May 2008, Wallace de Puerto Rico received from the EPA a Notice of Potential Liability and Request for Information Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. Sections 9607(a) and 9604(e) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, Liability Act. The Company responded to the EPA’s Request for Information on behalf of Wallace de Puerto Rico. In July 2011, Wallace de Puerto Rico received a letter from the EPA requesting access to the property that it leases from PRIDCO, and the Company granted such access. In February 2013, the EPA requested access to conduct further environmental investigation at the property. The Company granted such access and further EPA investigation is pending.
	The Company is not aware of any determination by the EPA that any remedial action is required for the Site, and, accordingly, is not able to estimate the extent of any possible liability.
	The Company is, from time to time, involved in other legal proceedings. The Company believes that other current litigation is routine in nature and incidental to the conduct of the Company’s business and that none of this litigation, individually or collectively, would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Basis of Presentation	'
	Basis of presentation
	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013.
	The Company’s business and working capital needs are highly seasonal, with a majority of sales occurring in the third and fourth quarters. In 2012 and 2011, net sales for the third and fourth quarters accounted for 58% and 59% of total annual net sales, respectively. In anticipation of the pre-holiday shipping season, inventory levels increase primarily in the June through October time period.
Revenue Recognition	'
	Revenue recognition
	The Company sells products wholesale, to retailers and distributors, and retail, directly to consumers. Wholesale sales and retail sales are recognized when title passes to the customer, which is primarily at the shipping point for wholesale sales and upon delivery to the customer for retail sales. Shipping and handling fees that are billed to customers in sales transactions are included in net sales and amounted to $266,000 and $281,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $918,000 and $868,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Net sales exclude taxes that are collected from customers and remitted to the taxing authorities.
	The Company offers various sales incentives and promotional programs to its customers from time to time in the normal course of business. These incentives and promotions typically include arrangements such as cooperative advertising, buydowns, volume rebates and discounts. These arrangements and an estimate of sales returns are reflected as reductions in net sales in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Cost of Sales	'
	Cost of sales
	Cost of sales consist primarily of costs associated with the production and procurement of product, inbound freight costs, purchasing costs, royalties and other product procurement related charges.
Distribution Expenses	'
	Distribution expenses
	Distribution expenses consist primarily of warehousing expenses and freight-out expenses.
Inventory	'
	Inventory
	Inventory consists principally of finished goods sourced from third-party suppliers. Inventory also includes finished goods, work in process and raw materials related to the Company’s manufacture of sterling silver products. Inventory is priced using the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market method. The Company estimates the selling price of its inventory on a product by product basis based on the current selling environment. If the estimated selling price is lower than the inventory’s cost, the Company reduces the value of the inventory to its net realizable value.
	The components of inventory are as follows:
		September 30,		December 31,
		2013		2012
		(in thousands)
	Finished goods		127,413	$	101,021

	Total	$	133,052	$	104,584
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	'
	Fair value of financial instruments
	The Company determined the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are reasonable estimates of their fair values because of their short-term nature. The Company determined that the carrying amounts of borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit facility and senior secured term loan approximate fair value since such borrowings bear interest at variable market rates.
Derivatives	'
	Derivatives
	The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with ASC Topic No. 815, Derivatives and Hedging. ASC Topic No. 815 requires that all derivative instruments be recognized on the balance sheet at fair value as either an asset or liability. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that qualify as hedges and have been designated as part of a hedging relationship for accounting purposes have no net impact on earnings to the extent the derivative is considered highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the risk being hedged, until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. If the derivative which is designated as part of a hedging relationship is considered ineffective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the risk being hedged, the changes in fair value are recorded in operations. For derivatives that do not qualify or are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes, changes in fair value are recorded in operations.
	The Company is a party to an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $30.6 million to manage interest rate exposure in connection with its variable interest rate borrowings. The hedge period in the agreement commenced in March 2013 and expires in June 2018 and the notional amount amortizes over this period. The interest rate swap agreement was designated as a cash flow hedge under ASC Topic No. 815. The effective portion of the fair value gain or loss on this agreement is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. The effect of recording this derivative at fair value resulted in an unrealized loss of $48,000, net of taxes, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and an unrealized gain of $196,000, net of taxes, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. No amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss are expected to be reclassified to interest expense in the next twelve months.
	The fair value of the derivative has been obtained from the counterparty to the agreement and was based on Level 2 observable inputs using proprietary models and estimates about relevant future market conditions. The aggregate fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments was a liability of $127,000 at September 30, 2013 and is included in accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities.
Employee Healthcare	'
	Employee Healthcare
	The Company self-insures certain portions of its health insurance plan. The Company maintains an accrual for unpaid claims and estimated claims incurred but not yet reported (“IBNR”). Although management believes that it uses the best information available to estimate IBNR, actual claims may vary significantly from estimated claims.
Restructuring Expenses	'
	Restructuring Expenses
	Costs associated with restructuring activities are recorded at fair value when a liability has been incurred. A liability has been incurred at the point of closure for any remaining operating lease obligations and at the communication date for severance.
	In April 2013, the Company commenced a plan to close the Fred® & Friends distribution center and eliminate certain employee positions in conjunction with the closure. The Company recorded $79,000 of restructuring expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and $367,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 related to the execution of this plan. The Company does not expect to incur any further restructuring expenses related to this closure.
Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements	'
	Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements
	Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted ASU No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income (e.g., net periodic pension benefit cost), an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. In connection with the adoption of this standard, the Company added additional disclosure about the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive income to Note J of its financial statements.

Segment Reporting Information	'
	The Company has segmented its operations to reflect the manner in which management reviews and evaluates the results of its operations. While both segments distribute similar products, the segments have been distinct due to the different methods the Company uses to sell, market and distribute the products. Management evaluates the performance of the Wholesale and Retail Direct segments based on net sales and income from operations. Such measures give recognition to specifically identifiable operating costs such as cost of sales, distribution expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses. Certain general and administrative expenses, such as senior executive salaries and benefits, stock compensation, director fees and accounting, legal and consulting fees, are not allocated to the specific segments and are reflected as unallocated corporate expenses.
