JONES APPAREL GROUP, INC.
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

        The following unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of April 3, 2010 and the unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the fiscal three months ended April 3, 2010 are based on the historical financial statements of Jones Apparel Group, Inc. ("Jones") and Stuart Weitzman Holdings, LLC ("SWH") after giving effect to the acquisition of SWH by Jones (as described below) and after applying the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements.

        Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, the acquisition will occur in two stages. Jones acquired 55% of the membership interests in SWH on June 2, 2010 (the "Initial Closing") for a cash payment of $180.3 million. The required purchase of the remaining 45% will occur on December 31, 2012 or sooner, under certain circumstances as defined in the agreement. The remaining purchase price will be determined under a formula set forth in the agreement, which is based upon the financial results of SWH from 2010 through 2012. For accounting purposes, the transaction is treated as an acquisition of 100% of the membership interests of SWH at the Initial Closing, with an acquisition consideration liability of $181.8 million recorded for the current value of the projected payments for the remaining 45% interest, based on probability-weighted projected earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), as defined in the agreement, of the acquired business and cash distributions that are required by the agreement to be disbursed for 2010 through 2012, using a discount factor based on an estimated weighted average cost of capital. The total consideration is as follows (in millions).

Cash paid at Initial Closing $ 180.3
Liability recorded for purchase of remaining 45% interest   181.8
Total consideration recorded $ 362.1

        The acquisition has been accounted for in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board guidance for business combinations. Accordingly, the total purchase price has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the acquisition based on their estimated fair values as of the Initial Closing. These allocations reflect various assumptions, estimates, and analyses. The following table summarizes the fair values of the SWH assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the Initial Closing.


(In millions)   Fair Value
Cash $ 21.0
Accounts receivable   20.1
Inventories   18.9
Other current assets   1.5
Property, plant and equipment   19.4
Intangible assets:    
     Trademarks   154.1
     Goodwill   115.1
     Customer relationships   20.2
     Covenant not to compete   3.5
     Order backlog   10.5
     Favorable lease agreements   6.1
     Licensing agreements   3.6
Other noncurrent assets   0.7
Total assets acquired   36.8
Cash distributions payable   19.0
Current liabilities   10.6
Unfavorable lease agreements   2.7
Other long-term liabilities   0.3
Total liabilities assumed   32.6
Total purchase price $ 362.1

The goodwill resulting from the acquisition of SWH is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

        The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with Jones' historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes contained in Jones' Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for its fiscal quarter ended April 3, 2010 and SWH's historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for its fiscal year ended January 2, 2010 and the unaudited fiscal quarter ended April 3, 2010, which are included as Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3, respectively, to this Form 8-K/A.

Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

        The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of April 3, 2010 is presented as if the acquisition and its related expenses had occurred on April 3, 2010. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the fiscal three months ended April 3, 2010 are presented as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2009. The pro forma adjustments presented for the combined statements of operations give effect to the events that are directly attributable to the transaction and are expected to have a continuing impact on the financial results of the combined companies.

        Jones and SWH have different fiscal year ends. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009 combines the historical results of Jones for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, which began on January 1, 2009, and the historical results of SWH for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2010, which began on January 4, 2009. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the fiscal quarter ended April 3, 2010 combines the unaudited historical results of Jones for the fiscal quarter ended April 3, 2010, which began on January 1, 2010, and the unaudited historical results of SWH for the fiscal quarter ended April 3, 2010, which began on January 3, 2010.

        Jones has prepared the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements only for illustrative purposes. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements do not represent the consolidated results of operations or financial condition of Jones had the acquisition been completed as the dates presented and should not be viewed as representative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial condition of Jones. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements do not reflect any operating efficiencies and cost savings that Jones may achieve with respect to the merged operations.
