ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS.
Fifth & Pacific Companies, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Form 8-K to reflect the retrospective application of new accounting guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income in financial statements, which was adopted on January 1, 2012, the first day of the Company’s 2012 fiscal year. This guidance requires, among other things, that the Company disclose the total of comprehensive income (loss), the components of net income (loss) and the components of other comprehensive income (loss), either in (i) a single continuous statement of comprehensive income (loss) or (ii) as two separate but consecutive statements.
The retrospective application of the new accounting guidance was not material and has not yet been reflected in the Company’s annual financial statements. The following presents the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss for the Company for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011, which was filed under the Company’s former name, Liz Claiborne, Inc. and should be read in conjunction with the information in the Company’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
