This amendment is being filed to include responses to the items required by Part III, which originally were incorporated by reference to the Registrant’s definitive Proxy Statement to be delivered to the Registrant’s stockholders in connection with its 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The original Form 10-K is also amended hereby to revise the cover page thereof to delete the reference to the incorporation by reference of the Proxy Statement in Part III of such report. As required by Rule 12b-15 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are providing Rule 13a-14(a) certifications dated April 26, 2013 in connection with this Form 10-K/A. No other information in the original filing is amended hereby, and this Form 10-K/A does not otherwise reflect events occurring after the original filing date of March 29, 2013.

The Registrant, iParty Corp, has postponed its 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders because of the pending merger transaction described below. On March 1, 2013, iParty Corp. entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, Party City Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Party City”), and Confetti Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Party City (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into iParty Corp., with iParty Corp. being the surviving corporation, becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Party City (the "Merger") and (i) each share of Common Stock of the Company (the "Common Stock") will be converted into the right to receive $0.45; (ii) each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the "Series B Stock") will be converted into the right to receive 100% of its liquidation preference of $20.00 per share; (iii) each share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the "Series C Stock") will be converted into the right to receive 100% of its liquidation preference of $20.00 per share; (iv) each share of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the "Series D Stock") will be converted into the right to receive 100% of its liquidation preference of $20.00 per share; (v) each share of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the "Series E Stock") will be converted into the right to receive the greater of: (A) 100% of its liquidation preference of $3.75 per share and (B) $0.45 per each Series E Common Equivalent Share, which is currently set at 10.359 shares of Common Stock for each share of Series E Stock or $4.66 per share of Series E Stock, and; (vi) each share of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the "Series F Stock", and collectively with the Series B Stock, Series C Stock, Series D Stock and Series E Stock, the "Preferred Stock") will be converted into the right to receive the greater of (A) 100% of its liquidation preference of $4.375 per share and (B) $0.45 per each Series F Common Equivalent Share, which is currently set at 10.367 shares of Common Stock for each share of Series F Stock or $4.67 per share of Series F Stock (collectively, the "Merger Consideration"), in each case, payable net to the selling stockholders in cash, without interest thereon, and less any required withholding taxes.

Many of the required disclosures set forth in this Amendment No. 1 provide information as of December 29, 2012, and with respect to the fiscal year then ended. If the Merger is completed, certain of the director and executive officer compensation and other disclosures herein would be rendered moot as to future periods. The effects of the Merger Agreement and the Merger on our directors and executive officers are set forth in the definitive proxy statement which we have filed with the SEC and delivered to stockholders to seek their adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger. The information in this Amendment No. 1 should be considered in light of such further disclosure.

On June 4, 2008, March 4, 2009, May 27, 2009 and on June 10, 2011, the Board of Directors granted Mr. Robertson additional options to purchase up to 100,000 shares, 200,000 shares, 50,000 shares, and 65,000 shares, respectively, of our common stock at exercise prices equal to the closing prices of our common stock on the dates of grant. The options granted on June 4, 2008, March 4, 2009 and May 27, 2009 vested 25% on their respective anniversary of the grant date, then in equal monthly increments over the subsequent three years, vesting in full on the fourth anniversary of such grant date. The options granted on June 10, 2011 vested 5/36 on the grant date, and then 1/36 monthly thereafter until fully vested. On January 18, 2012 our Board of Directors granted Mr. Robertson additional stock options exercisable for up to 65,000 shares of our common stock, at an exercise price per share equal to the closing price of our common stock on that date. These options vest 1/36 monthly until fully vested.

Other Potential Post Employment Payments

Upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, our past and current employment agreements with each of Mr. Perisano and Ms. Dionne and our letter agreement with Mr. Robertson require us to pay certain amounts related to salary and insurance benefits to or on behalf of those executive officers, as described below. The payments are subject to certain non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality obligations. The following table presents estimates of the amounts that would have been payable under our new agreements upon the occurrence of each such event as of the end of our last fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 (assuming each such agreement had been in effect on such date):

Name	Termination Without Cause or With Good Reason		Change in Control (1)		Disability (2)
Sal V. Perisano	$	379,844	$	932,932	$	249,844
Dorice P. Dionne	$	223,075	$	329,617	$	47,613
David E. Robertson	$	95,588		—		—

(1)	In the event executive is terminated by the Company or executive terminates for good reason within 13 months of a change of control, the salary related amounts would be paid as a lump sum, and the insurance related amounts in monthly installments. The amounts received following a change of control may be reduced to maximize the amount received following the application of 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. For all other triggering events, all amounts would be paid in monthly or weekly installments. In addition, in the event of a change of control, as defined under the Plans, all of the stock options held by these executives would immediately vest.

(2)	The amounts set forth reflect the payment under the respective employment agreement as reduced by amounts payable under the Company’s disability plan.

Pension Benefits

We did not have any plan that provides for payments or other benefits at, following, or in connection with retirement of any of our named executive officers during the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

We did not give any nonqualified deferred compensation to any of our named executive officers during the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During fiscal 2012, Mr. Haydu and Mr. DeWolf served as members of the Compensation Committee. None of the directors is a director or executive officer of any other corporation that has a director or executive officer who is also a director of the Company.

None of our executive officers serves as a member of the compensation committee of any other company that has an executive officer serving as a member of our Board of Directors. None of our executive officers serves as a member of the board of directors of any other company that has an executive officer serving as a member of our Board’s Compensation Committee.

Director Compensation

At the meeting of our Board of Directors held on June 6, 2012, the board (on recommendation of the Compensation Committee) voted that each independent director (determined to be each of Messrs. DeWolf, Haydu and Vassalluzzo) would be granted an option on June 6, 2012 exercisable for the purchase of 40,000 shares of our common stock and be paid a $35,000 cash payment in respect of his service as a director. The Board of Directors approved the Compensation Committee’s recommendation that each such option would vest quarterly over a one-year period and the $35,000 cash payment would be paid quarterly over a one-year period. As a result of these determinations, each of Messrs. DeWolf, Haydu, and Vassalluzzo was granted an option exercisable for 40,000 shares. Each of these stock option grants was made pursuant to the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan, at an exercise price equal to the market price of our common stock at the close of business on the grant date. These options expire on the earlier of 10 years from the date of grant or three years from the date the grantee ceases to serve as a director.

At that same meeting held on June 6, 2012, the Board of Directors also voted to accept the Compensation Committee’s recommendation to engage Mr. Vassalluzzo as a part-time consultant to our company for a one-year period at an annual fee of $61,800. The Board of Directors voted in favor of the Compensation Committee’s recommendation in this regard. Pursuant to this arrangement, our Chairman and CEO, Mr. Perisano, consults with Mr. Vassalluzzo with respect to various retail, operational, strategic, real estate and store location issues, as may from time to time be necessary and appropriate. Such services on occasion require Mr. Vassalluzzo’s presence at our corporate headquarters in Dedham, Massachusetts and/or current or proposed store location sites, principally in New England and Florida.

Also at the June 6, 2012 meeting, the Board of Directors (on recommendation of the Compensation Committee) voted that each independent director would be paid an annual fee of the following amounts in cash, payable in equal quarterly installments, for serving on the various committees of our Board of Directors. This amount is in addition to the annual director fee described above.

Director	Annual Committee Compensation

Frank W. Haydu III	$20,600

Daniel I. DeWolf	$10,300

Joseph S. Vassalluzzo	$25,750

Director Compensation Table

The table below summarizes the compensation that we paid our non-employee, independent directors for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012. Our one employee-director, our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Perisano, earned no compensation for his service as a director in 2012. Mr. Hernon, who was elected to the Board on November 30, 2012 as the Series C Stock Designee, did not receive any director compensation in 2012.

Consequently, as of December 29, 2012, options for the purchase of up to 1,819,504 common shares remain available for future grants.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Director Independence

Each of our directors is an “independent” director as defined under applicable rules of the SEC and NYSE MKT, except for Mr. Perisano, who serves as our Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Hernon, who is the Series C Stock designee. In making this determination for Mr. Vassalluzzo, the Board considered his consulting arrangement with the Company and the fact that the Company leases 8,500 square feet of retail space from Federal Realty Investment Trust, of which Mr. Vassalluzzo is Non-executive Chairman. As a result, a majority of the directors are “independent” under applicable rules of the SEC and NYSE MKT.

Related Party Transactions

Under SEC rules, we are required to disclose transactions in excess of the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year end for the last two completed fiscal years in which iParty was a participant in which ‘related persons’ had or will have a direct or indirect interest. As one percent of the average of our total assets at year end for the last two completed fiscal years is greater than $120,000, we have used $120,000 as the threshold number. Related persons include any of our directors, nominees for director, or executive officers, and any immediate family members of such persons and any person (including any “group” as such term is used in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) who is known to iParty as a beneficial owner of more than 5% of its voting common stock, and any immediate family member of a significant shareholder. The term “transaction” is broadly defined under SEC rules to include any financial transaction, arrangement or relationship, including any indebtedness transaction or guarantee of indebtedness. Based on information available to us and provided to us by our directors and executive officers, we do not believe that there were any such transactions in effect since December 26, 2010, or any such transactions proposed to be entered into during fiscal year 2013, except as follows:

●

On September 15, 2006, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement pursuant to which we raised $2.5 million through a combination of subordinated debt and warrants issued on September 15, 2006 to Highbridge International LLC (“Highbridge”), an institutional accredited investor. Under the terms of the financing, we issued Highbridge a three-year subordinated note (the “Highbridge Note”) that bears interest at an interest rate of prime plus one percent. The note was paid in full on September 15, 2009. In addition, we issued Highbridge a warrant (the “Highbridge Warrant”) exercisable for 2,083,334 shares of iParty common stock at an exercise price of $0.475 per share, or 125% of the closing price of iParty’s common stock on the day immediately prior to the closing of the transaction. The agreements entered into by iParty and Highbridge in connection with the financing granted Highbridge resale registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the Highbridge Warrant and provided for certain anti-dilution rights and other covenants with respect to the listing of our common stock. The Highbridge Warrant expired unexercised in September 2011.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

The following table specifies the fees for professional services rendered by E&Y for the audit of our annual financial statements for fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2012 and fees billed for audit-related services, tax services, and all other services by E&Y in fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2012.

Tax Fees		42,250		31,000
All Other Fees		6,995		1,995
Totals	$	302,649	$	289,983

Audit Fees

These are fees related to professional services rendered in connection with the audit of our annual financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2012, the reviews of the financial statements included in each of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and accounting consultations that relate to the audited financial statements and are necessary to comply with generally accepted auditing standards. E&Y expresses its views concerning, but does not audit, and is not required to audit, our internal control over financial reporting.

Audit-Related Fees

We did not pay E&Y for any audit-related fees in fiscal 2011 or fiscal 2012. Audit-related fees would be fees for things such as assurance and related services, such as audits of employee benefit plans.

Tax Fees

These are fees for professional services related to tax return preparation services and tax compliance services.

Other Fees

These are fees for professional services related to the inclusion of E&Y’s consent letter related to our Registration Statement on Form S-8 covering common stock that may be offered or sold pursuant to our 2009 Stock Incentive Plan, for assistance with respect to an IRS audit, for assistance with respect to an SEC comment letter, and for subscription fees to E&Y’s accounting research service, GAAIT.

Audit Committee’s Pre-approval Policy and Procedures

The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors has adopted policies and procedures for the pre-approval of audit and non-audit services for the purpose of maintaining the independence of our independent auditors. We may not engage our independent auditors to render any audit or non-audit service unless either the service is approved in advance by the Audit Committee or the engagement to render the service is entered into pursuant to the Audit Committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures. The Audit Committee may pre-approve services that are expected to be provided to iParty by the independent auditors during the following 12 months. At the time such pre-approval is granted, the Audit Committee must (1) identify the particular pre-approved services in a sufficient level of detail so that management will not be called upon to make judgment as to whether a proposed service fits within the pre-approved services and (2) establish a monetary limit with respect to each particular pre-approved service, which limit may not be exceeded without obtaining further pre-approval under the policy. At regularly scheduled meetings of the Audit Committee, management or the independent auditors must report to the Audit Committee regarding each service actually provided to iParty.
