Note A – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

[1]	Organization:

	Steven Madden, Ltd. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, design, source, market and sell name brand and private label women’s, men’s and children’s shoes, for sale worldwide through its wholesale and retail channels under the Steve Madden Women’s, Steven and Madden Men’s brand names and through its wholesale channels under the Stevies, Madden Girl, Madden, l.e.i. (under license), Elizabeth and James (under license), Report, Superga (under license), Betsey Johnson and Big Buddha brand names. In addition, the Company designs, sources, markets and sells name brand and private label fashion handbags and accessories to customers worldwide through its Wholesale Accessories segment. The Wholesale Accessories segment includes Big Buddha, Betsey Johnson, Betseyville, Cejon, Steve Madden and Steven by Steve Madden and, through license agreements, Daisy Fuentes and Olsenboye accessories brands. Revenue is generated predominantly through the sale of the Company’s brand name and private label merchandise and certain licensed products. At both December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company operated 84 retail stores (including its e-commerce website as a store). Revenue is subject to seasonal fluctuations. See Note Q for operating segment information.

[2]	Principles of consolidation:

	The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Steven Madden, Ltd. and its wholly owned subsidiaries Steven Madden Retail, Inc., Diva Acquisition Corp., Adesso Madden, Inc., Stevies, Inc., Daniel M. Friedman and Associates, Inc., Big Buddha, Inc., the Topline Corporation and Cejon, Inc. (collectively referred to as the “Company”). The accounts of Madlove LLC, a joint venture in which the Company is the primary beneficiary, is included in the Consolidated Financial Statements with the other members’ interests reflected in “Net loss attributable to noncotnrolling interests” in the Consolidated Statement of Income and “Noncontrolling interests” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

[3]	Stock split:

	On May 5, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors announced a three-for-two stock split of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, effected in the form of a stock dividend on the Company’s outstanding common stock. Stockholders of record at the close of business on May 20, 2011 received one additional share of the Company’s common stock for every two shares of common stock owned on this date. The additional shares were distributed on May 31, 2011. Stockholders received cash in lieu of any fractional shares of common stock they otherwise would have received in connection with the dividend. All share and per share data provided herein gives effect to this stock split, applied retroactively.

[4]	Use of estimates:

	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

	Significant areas involving management estimates include allowances for bad debts, returns and customer chargebacks and contingent payment liabilities. The Company provides reserves on trade accounts receivables and due from factor for future customer chargebacks and markdown allowances, discounts, returns and other miscellaneous compliance related deductions that relate to the current period sales. The Company evaluates anticipated chargebacks and these other credits, by reviewing several performance indicators of its major customers. These performance indicators, which include retailers’ inventory levels, sell-through rates and gross margin levels, are analyzed by management to estimate the amount of the anticipated customer allowance.
