Selected Financial Data

The following financial data as of March 25, 2006 and March 26, 2005 and for each of the three years ended March 25, 2006, March 26, 2005 and March 27, 2004 have been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements, which are included elsewhere in this annual report. The following financial data as of March 27, 2004, March 29, 2003 and March 30, 2002 and for each of the two years ended March 29, 2003 and March 30, 2002 have been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements not included in this annual report. The historical results included below and elsewhere in this annual report are not necessarily indicative of our future performance.

We acquired approximately 72% of the voting control in Mayors on August 20, 2002. Since that date, the results of Mayors have been consolidated in our financial statements. Specifically, our results of operations for the periods after the acquisition of Mayors include Mayors revenues and expenses, while Mayors net losses have been allocated between us and the minority stockholders of Mayors prior to the merger based on their residual equity interests in Mayors. As a result, our results in prior periods are not directly comparable.

The data presented below are only a summary and should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements, including the notes thereto, included elsewhere in this annual report. You should also read the following summary data in conjunction with Item 5, “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” included elsewhere in this annual report.

(1) | Minority interest in loss of subsidiary relates to the allocation of Mayors loss from continuing operations to the minority stockholders of Mayors based on their common stock ownership.

(2) | The loss from discontinued operations for fiscal 2002 relates to the discontinued operations of the store at Tysons Galleria in McLean, Virginia which was closed in March 2003. Costs related to the discontinued operation include operating losses, costs to exit the lease, write-off of fixed assets and severance costs offset by the write-off of deferred revenue from landlord inducements. The net assets of the store are not significant.

(3) | The extraordinary gain for fiscal 2002 relates to the acquisition of Mayors. Specifically, on August 20, 2002, Birks made an investment of $15.05 million in Mayors. The investment consisted of 15,050 shares of Mayors preferred stock, originally convertible into 3,333.33 shares of common stock for each preferred share with an allocated fair value of $11.2 million at the acquisition date. Birks also received 37,273,787 warrants to purchase shares of common stock, one-third at $0.30, one-third at $0.35 and one-third at $0.40. A fair value of $3.8 million has been allocated to the warrants. At the investment date the conversion of these preferred shares would have given Birks an approximately 72% equity interest in the common stock of Mayors. The excess of the fair value assigned to the preferred shares over 72% of the net book value of Mayors, net of the fair value assigned to the warrants, amounting to $21.2 million has been determined to be negative goodwill. The negative goodwill has been accounted for by reducing property and equipment by $12.2 million with the balance of $9.0 million recorded as an extraordinary gain.

Dividends and Dividend Policy

We have not paid dividends since 1998 and do not currently intend to pay dividends on our Class A voting shares or Class B multiple voting shares in the foreseeable future. Our ability to pay dividends on our Class A voting shares and Class B multiple voting shares are restricted by our credit agreements. See Item 5, “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Liquidity and Capital Resources.” If dividends were declared by our Board of Directors, shareholders would receive a dividend equal to the per share dividend we would pay to holders of our Class A voting shares or holders of Class B multiple voting shares. Dividends we would pay to U.S. holders would generally be subject to withholding tax. See Item 10, “Additional Information—Taxation.”

RISK FACTORS

Risks Related to the Company

We are controlled by a single shareholder whose interests may be different from yours.

Dr. Lorenzo Rossi di Montelera beneficially owns or controls 68.9% of all classes of our outstanding voting shares. Under our amended charter, Dr. Rossi, as holder of Class B multiple voting shares, has the ability to control most actions requiring shareholder approval, including electing the members of our Board of Directors and the issuance of new equity.

Dr. Rossi may have different interests than you have and may make decisions that do not correspond to your interests. In addition, the fact that Birks & Mayors is controlled by one shareholder may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in the management or voting control of Birks & Mayors.

If we are unable to implement our business strategy, our net sales and profitability may be adversely affected.

Our future financial performance and success are dependent on our ability to implement our business strategy successfully. Our present business strategy is to leverage our merchandising, marketing and sales expertise to increase net sales and profits, design, make and introduce innovative new products, utilize our manufacturing capabilities to improve gross margins, raise additional capital and make selective acquisitions to grow our revenue base. We may not successfully implement our business strategy. Furthermore, implementing our business strategy may not sustain or improve our results of operations.

Our business could be adversely affected if our relationships with any primary vendors are terminated or if the delivery of their products are delayed or interrupted.

We compete with other jewelry retailers for access to vendors that will provide us with the quality and quantity of merchandise necessary to operate our business, and our merchandising strategy depends upon our ability to maintain good relations with significant vendors. Certain brand name watch manufacturers, including Rolex, have distribution agreements with our subsidiary Mayors that, among other things, provide for specific sales locations, yearly renewal terms and early termination provisions at the manufacturer’s discretion. In the fiscal year ended March 25, 2006, merchandise supplied by Rolex and sold through our stores operating under the Mayors brand accounted for approximately 22% of our total net sales. Our relationships with primary suppliers, like Rolex, are generally not pursuant to long-term agreements.

We obtain materials and manufactured items from third-party suppliers. Any delay in our suppliers’ abilities to provide us with necessary materials and components may affect our manufacturing capabilities or may require us to seek alternative supply sources. Any delay in receiving supplies could impair our ability to supply products to our stores and, accordingly, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. The abrupt loss of any of our third-party suppliers, especially Rolex, or a decline in the quality or quantity of materials supplied by any third-party suppliers could cause significant disruption in our business.

We are exposed to currency exchange risk that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

While we report financial results in U.S. dollars, a substantial portion of our sales are recorded in Canadian dollars. For our operations located in Canada, non-Canadian currency transactions and assets and liabilities subject us to foreign currency risk. Conversely, for the operations located in the United States, non-U.S. currency transactions and assets and liabilities subject us to foreign currency risk. For purposes of financial reporting, our financial statements are reported in U.S. dollars by translating, where necessary, net sales and expenses from Canadian dollars at the average exchange rates prevailing during the period, while assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates, with the effect of such translation recorded in accumulated other

5

comprehensive income. As a result, for purposes of financial reporting, foreign exchange gains or losses recorded in earnings relate to non-Canadian dollar transactions of the operations located in Canada and non-U.S. dollar transactions of the operations located in the United States. We expect to continue to report our financial results in U.S. dollars in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Consequently, our reported earnings could fluctuate materially as a result of foreign exchange translation gains or losses. To mitigate the impact of foreign exchange volatility on our earnings, from time to time we may enter into agreements to fix the exchange rate of U.S. dollars to Canadian dollars. For example, we may enter into agreements to fix the exchange rate to protect the principal and interest payments on our Canadian dollar denominated debt and other liabilities. If we do so, we will not benefit from any increase in the value of the Canadian dollar compared to the U.S. dollar when these payments become due. There were no contracts outstanding at the end of fiscal 2005.

Fluctuations in the availability and prices of our merchandise may adversely affect our results of operations.

We offer a large selection of distinctive high quality merchandise, including diamond, gemstone and precious metal jewelry, rings, wedding bands, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, charms, timepieces and gifts. Accordingly, significant changes in availability or prices of diamonds, gemstones, and precious metals we require for our products could adversely affect our earnings. Further, both the supply and price of diamonds are significantly influenced by a single entity, the Diamond Trading Corporation. We do not maintain long-term inventories or otherwise currently hedge against fluctuations in the cost of the majority of these materials. A significant increase in the price of these materials could adversely affect our net sales and gross margins.

A significant disruption at our jewelry manufacturing facilities could have a material adverse effect on our results.

Our manufacturing facilities could be damaged or disrupted by, among other things, a natural disaster, war, terrorism, fire, or mechanical failure. Although we have obtained property damage and business interruption insurance, a major event could result in a prolonged interruption. Any significant disruption could cause significant delays. Similarly, unexpected downtime at our manufacturing facilities as a result of unanticipated failures or scheduled maintenance may lead to production curtailments and leave us in short supply of certain products. In addition, our manufacturing processes are dependent on critical skilled workers. A loss of such workers without adequate replacements could result in material curtailment of production. Such shutdowns or curtailments may materially reduce production and impair our ability to supply our stores, which could adversely affect our productivity and results of operations.

Hurricanes and other severe weather conditions could cause a disruption in our operations, which could have an adverse impact on our results of operations.

Our U.S. operations are located in Georgia and Florida, regions which are susceptible to hurricanes. In the past, hurricanes have forced the closure of some stores, resulting in a reduction in net sales during such periods. Future hurricanes could significantly disrupt our U.S. operations and could have a material adverse effect on our overall results of operations. In addition, severe weather such as ice storms, snow storms and blizzards in Canada can cause conditions whereby peak holiday shopping could be materially affected.

We may not be able to adequately protect our intellectual property and may be required to engage in costly litigation as a protective measure.

To establish and protect our intellectual property rights, we rely upon a combination of trademark and trade secret laws, together with licenses, exclusivity agreements and other contractual covenants. In particular, the “Birks” and “Mayors” trademarks are of significant value to our retail operations. The measures we take to protect our intellectual property rights may prove inadequate to prevent misappropriation of our intellectual property. Monitoring the unauthorized use of our intellectual property is difficult. Litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Litigation of this type could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, may result in counterclaims or other claims against us and could significantly harm our results of operations.

6

We may not successfully manage our inventory, which could have an adverse effect on our net sales, profitability and liquidity.

As a retail business, our results of operations are dependent on our ability to manage our inventory. To properly manage our inventory, we must be able to accurately estimate customer demand and supply requirements and purchase new inventory accordingly. If we fail to sell the inventory we manufacture or purchase, we may be required to write-down our inventory, which would have an adverse impact on earnings. Additionally, a substantial portion of the merchandise we sell is carried on a consignment basis prior to sale or is otherwise financed by vendors, which reduces our required capital investment in inventory. Any significant change in these consignment relationships could have a material adverse effect on our net sales and cash flows.

The retail jewelry industry is highly competitive and we may not be able to grow or maintain our market share.

The retail jewelry business is mature and highly competitive in the United States and Canada. We compete with foreign and domestic guild and leading luxury jewelers, specialty stores, national and regional jewelry chains, department stores, warehouse clubs and, to a lesser extent, catalog showrooms, discounters, direct mail suppliers, television home shopping networks and jewelry retailers who make sales through Internet sites. We believe that competition in our markets is based primarily on trust, quality craftsmanship, product design and exclusivity, product selection, service excellence, and, to a certain extent, price. Many competitors are substantially larger than us and have greater financial resources than we do. We may not be able to compete successfully with such competitors. Competition could cause us to lose customers, increase expenditures or reduce pricing, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our earnings and stock price.

As a luxury retail jeweler, our business is particularly susceptible to adverse economic conditions.

Jewelry purchases are discretionary for consumers and may be particularly and disproportionately affected by adverse trends in the general economy and the equity markets. The success of our operations depends to a significant extent upon a number of factors relating to discretionary consumer spending within the economy as a whole and in regional and local markets where we operate, including economic conditions (and perceptions of such conditions) affecting disposable consumer income such as employment wages and salaries, the performance of the stock market, business conditions, interest rates, availability and cost of credit and taxation. In addition, our stores operating under the Mayors brand are more dependent upon tourism, and many of our stores are dependent on the continued popularity of malls as a shopping destination and the ability of malls or tenants and other attractions to generate customer traffic for such stores.

A substantial portion of our customers use credit, either from our proprietary credit cards or another consumer credit source, to purchase jewelry. When there is a downturn in the general economy or increases in interest rates, fewer people may use credit. A downturn in the general economy could also adversely affect our ability to collect outstanding accounts receivable, and an increase in interest rates could result in reduced consumer spending, which could have a material adverse affect on our financial condition.

We have significant indebtedness, which could adversely affect our operations and financial condition.

We currently have a significant amount of indebtedness and significant debt service obligations. Our debt levels fluctuate from time to time based on seasonal working capital needs. The following table sets forth our estimated total indebtedness, total shareholders’ equity, total capitalization and ratio of total indebtedness to total capitalization as of March 25, 2006.

Total indebtedness |  | $ | 106,394,000 |
Total shareholders’ equity |  |  | 67,367,000 |
Total capitalization |  | $ | 173,761,000 |
Ratio of total indebtedness to total capitalization |  |  | 61.2 | %

This high degree of leverage could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. For example, it could:

| • |  | make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our indebtedness;

| • |  | increase our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions;

| • |  | require us to dedicate a substantial portion of cash from operations to the payment of debt service, thereby reducing the availability of cash to fund working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes;

| • |  | limit our ability to obtain financing for working capital, capital expenditures, general corporate purposes or acquisitions;

| • |  | place us at a disadvantage compared to competitors that have a lower degree of leverage; and

| • |  | negatively affect the price of our stock.

Our credit business may be adversely affected by changes in applicable laws and regulations.

The operation of our credit business subjects us to substantial regulation relating to disclosure and other requirements upon origination, servicing, debt collection and particularly upon the amount of finance charges we can impose. Any adverse change in the regulation of consumer credit could adversely affect our earnings. For example, new laws or regulations could limit the amount of interest or fees we could charge on consumer loan accounts, or restrict our ability to collect on account balances, which could have a material adverse effect on our earnings. Compliance with existing and future laws or regulations could require material expenditures or otherwise adversely affect our business or financial results. Failure to comply with these laws or regulations, even if inadvertent, could result in negative publicity, and fines, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

We may not be able to retain key personnel or replace them if they leave.

Our success is largely dependent on the personal efforts of Thomas A. Andruskevich, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and other key members of the senior management team. Although we have entered into employment agreements with Mr. Andruskevich and other key members of the senior management team, the loss of any of their services could cause our business to suffer. Our success is also dependent upon our ability to continue to hire and retain qualified financial, operations, development and other personnel. Competition for qualified personnel in the retail industry is intense, and we may not be able to hire or retain the personnel necessary for our planned operations.

Our business could be adversely affected if we are unable to successfully negotiate favorable lease terms.

As of March 25, 2006, we had 67 leased stores, which includes the capital lease of our Canadian headquarters and Montreal flagship store. The leases are generally for a term of five to ten years, with rent being a fixed minimum base plus, for a majority of the stores, a percentage of the store’s sale volume (subject to some adjustments) over a specified threshold. We have generally been successful in negotiating leases for new stores and lease renewals as our current leases near expiration. However, our business, financial condition, and operating results could be adversely affected if we are unable to continue to negotiate profitable lease and renewal terms.

Terrorist acts or other catastrophic events could have a material adverse effect on Birks & Mayors.

Additional terrorist acts, acts of war or hostility, natural disasters or other catastrophic events could have an immediate disproportionate impact on discretionary spending on luxury goods upon which our operations are dependent. For example, in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks carried out on September 11, 2001, tourism was significantly reduced in all of our markets, which had an adverse impact on net sales. Similarly, the SARS epidemic in Toronto, Ontario in the spring of 2003 had an adverse impact on net sales in our stores in that region. Similar future events could have a material adverse impact on our business and results of operations.

Risks Related to Class A Voting Shares

Our share price could be adversely affected if a large number of Class A voting shares are offered for sale or sold.

Future issuances or sales of a substantial number of our Class A voting shares by Birks & Mayors, Dr. Lorenzo Rossi di Montelera, or another significant shareholder in the public market could adversely affect the price of our Class A voting shares, which may impair Birks & Mayors’ ability to raise capital through future issuances of equity securities. We have approximately 3,489,753 Class A voting shares issued and outstanding. Sales of restricted securities in the public market, or the availability of these Class A voting shares for sale, could adversely affect the market price of Class A voting shares.

As a retail jeweler with a limited public float, the price of the Class A voting shares may fluctuate substantially, which could negatively affect the value of the Class A voting shares and could result in securities class action claims against us.

The price of the Class A voting shares may fluctuate substantially due to, among other things, the following factors: (1) fluctuations in the price of the shares of the small number of public companies in the retail jewelry business; (2) additions or departures of key personnel; (3) announcements of legal proceedings or regulatory matters; and (4) the general volatility in the stock market. The market price of the Class A voting shares could also fluctuate substantially if we fail to meet or exceed expectations for our financial results or if there is a change in financial estimates or securities analysts’ recommendations.

Significant price and value fluctuations have occurred in the past with respect to the securities of retail jewelry and related companies. In addition, because the public float of the Class A voting shares is relatively small, the market price of the Class A voting shares is likely to be volatile. There is limited trading volume in the Class A voting shares, rendering them subject to significant price volatility. In addition, the stock market has experienced volatility that has affected the market prices of equity securities of many companies, and that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of such companies. A number of other factors, many of which are beyond our control, could also cause the market price of the Class A voting shares to fluctuate substantially. In the past, following periods of downward volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, class action litigation has often been pursued against the respective company. If the Class A voting shares were similarly volatile and similar litigation were pursued against us, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources.

Birks & Mayors is governed by the laws of Canada, and, as a result, it may not be possible for shareholders to enforce civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States.

Birks & Mayors is governed by the laws of Canada. A substantial portion of our assets are located outside the United States, and some of our directors and officers are residents outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service within the United States upon Birks & Mayors or its directors and officers, or to realize in the United States upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon civil liability of Birks & Mayors and such directors or officers under the United States federal securities laws. There is doubt as to the enforceability in Canada by a court in original actions, or in actions to enforce judgments of United States courts, of the civil liabilities predicated upon the United States federal securities laws.

We expect to maintain our status as a “foreign private issuer” under the rules and regulations of the SEC and, thus, are exempt from a number of rules under the Exchange Act and are permitted to file less information with the SEC than a company incorporated in the U.S.

As a “foreign private issuer” we are exempt from rules under the Exchange Act that impose certain disclosure and procedural requirements for proxy solicitations under Section 14 of the Exchange Act. In addition, our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and “short-swing” profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules under the Exchange Act with respect to their purchases and sales of our Class A voting shares. Moreover, we are not required to file periodic reports and

9

financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act; nor are we required to comply with Regulation FD, which restricts the selective disclosure of material information. Accordingly, there may be less publicly available information concerning Birks & Mayors than there is for U.S. public companies.

If we were treated as a passive foreign investment company, or a PFIC, some holders of the Class A voting shares would be subject to additional taxation, which could cause the price of the Class A voting shares to decline.

We believe that the Class A voting shares should not be treated as stock of a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and we expect to continue operations in such a manner that we will not be a PFIC. If, however, we are or become a PFIC, some holders of the Class A voting shares could be subject to additional U.S. federal income taxes on gains recognized with respect to the Class A voting shares and on certain distributions, plus an interest charge on certain taxes treated as having been deferred under the PFIC rules.

Item 4. | Information on the Company

THE COMPANY

Corporate History and Overview

Birks & Mayors is a leading North American luxury jewelry brand which designs, develops, makes and retails fine jewelry, time pieces, sterling silver and gifts. As of June 30, 2006, Birks & Mayors operated 67 luxury jewelry stores, 39 stores under the Birks brand, located in all major cities across Canada, and 28 stores under the Mayors brand, located in Florida and Georgia. As a luxury jeweler, most of our jewelry products are constructed of 18 karat gold, platinum or sterling silver, with or without precious gemstones, with significant emphasis on quality craftsmanship and distinctive design. For the fiscal year ended March 25, 2006, we had net sales of $274.3 million.

Birks’ predecessor company was founded in Montreal in 1879 and developed over the years into Canada’s premier retailer, designer and manufacturer of fine jewelry, timepieces, sterling and plated silverware and gifts. In addition to being a nationwide retailer with a strong brand identity, we are also highly regarded in Canada as a designer and maker of jewelry and a provider of recognition programs, service awards and business gifts. We believe that operating our stores, under the Birks and Mayors brands, distinguishes us from many competitors because we offer distinctively designed, exclusive products, a larger selection of distinctive higher quality merchandise at many different price points, and place substantial emphasis on the professionalism and training of our sales force.

From 1950 through 1990, Birks expanded significantly and by the early 1990s had approximately 220 stores in Canada and the United States. Birks undertook a period of rapid expansion in the 1980s, followed in the early 1990s by a period of declining margins and a significant erosion in consumer spending coupled with significantly higher indebtedness resulting from a family buy-out, which combined to cause Birks to experience significant financial losses. These financial difficulties ultimately led to the purchase of Birks by Borgosesia Acquisitions Corporation in 1993, a predecessor company of Regaluxe Investment S.á.r.l., which is referred to in this annual report as “Regaluxe.” Effective March 28, 2006, Regaluxe was acquired by merger by Iniziativa S.A., which is referred to in this annual report as “Iniziativa S.A.” Following the 1993 acquisition of Birks, Birks’ operations were rationalized and a program of returning Birks to its historic core strength as the leading Canadian luxury jeweler was initiated. In August 2002, Birks invested $15.05 million to acquire approximately 72% of the voting control in Mayors, which was experiencing an unsuccessful expansion beyond its core markets and significant losses.

Between August 2002 and November 2005 it became apparent to both Mayors and Birks management that it was in the best interest of the shareholders to combine the two companies. Management believed that such combination would create a stronger capital base, improve operating efficiencies, reduce the impact of regional

10

issues, simplify the corporate ownership of Mayors, eliminate management and Board of Directors inefficiencies with managing intercompany issues, and possibly increase shareholder liquidity. Upon the consummation of the merger on November 14, 2005, each outstanding share of the Mayors common stock not currently owned by Birks was converted into 0.08695 Class A voting shares of Birks. As a result of the merger, Mayors common stock ceased trading on the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) and Birks & Mayors began trading on the AMEX under the trading symbol “BMJ.” Since the merger, Birks & Mayors has worked very diligently to fully integrate the Birks business with Mayors and believes the integration process is substantially complete. As a result of the merger, we believe the combined company has a stronger capital base, improved operational efficiencies and diversity and depth of its products and distribution capabilities.

We signed a lease to open a new Mayors store in Bonita Springs, Florida which is expected to open prior to the fiscal 2006 holiday season. We also signed a lease for a second new Mayors store location in Weston, Florida which we plan to open in the spring of 2007.

Since the beginning of fiscal 2003, we invested approximately $16.5 million of capital expenditures in our business. This was comprised of capital expenditures in our stores of $4.8 million (primarily associated with leasehold improvements and fixturing) and approximately $11.7 million in our corporate operations (primarily associated with our information technology infrastructure, head offices and the addition of our Rhode Island manufacturing facility). We expect to invest an additional $10 million to $11 million of capital expenditures in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007 of which approximately half will be in the U.S. and half will be in Canada. We expect to finance these expenditures mainly from operating cash flow.

Our sales are divided into two principal product categories; jewelry and timepieces. Jewelry also includes sales of other product offerings we sell such as giftware, as well as repair and custom design services.

The following table compares our sales of each product category for the last three fiscal years (dollars in thousands):

Birks & Mayors is a Canadian corporation. Our corporate headquarters are located at 1240 Phillips Square, Montreal, Quebec, Canada H3B 3H4. Our telephone number is (514) 397-2511. Our website is www.birksandmayors.com.

Products

We offer distinctively designed, exclusive products and a large selection of distinctive high quality merchandise at many different price points. This merchandise includes designer jewelry, diamond, gemstone, and precious metal jewelry, rings, wedding bands, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, charms, baby jewelry, timepieces and giftware. Part of our strategy is to increase our exclusive offering of internally designed and/or produced goods to our customers, primarily through bridal, diamond and other fine jewelry as well as gold and sterling silver jewelry and timepieces to leverage the Birks and Mayors brands’ loyalty in their respective markets and to differentiate our products with unique and exclusive designs. In addition, we sell many of the finest brand name Swiss timepieces that are often not available from other jewelers in our markets.

Our Canadian stores, operating under the Birks brand, carry a large selection of brand name timepieces, including our own proprietary watch line as well as timepieces made by Cartier, Baume & Mercier, Omega, Tag Heuer, Breitling, Jaeger Le Coultre, Gucci, Concorde, Rado, Longines, Mont Blanc and Tissot. We also carry an exclusive collection of high quality jewelry and timepieces that we manufacture. We emphasize our own jewelry offerings and particularly our signature designers, Toni Cavelti, Michele della Valle and Esty but also include designer jewelry made by Roberto Coin, Kwiat, Ladyheart, which are exclusive to our stores in Canada. We also offer a variety of high quality giftware, including writing instruments and giftware made by Mont Blanc and Cartier.

Our U.S. stores, operating under the Mayors brand, carry a large selection of brand name timepieces, including timepieces made by Rolex, Cartier, Patek Philippe, Baume & Mercier, Omega, Charriol, Tag Heuer, Breitling, Corum, Rado, Chopard, Jaeger Le Coultre and Raymond Weil. Designer jewelry offerings in our stores operating under the Mayors brand include jewelry made by David Yurman, Aaron Basha, Charriol, Roberto Coin and DiModolo and a variety of high quality giftware, including writing instruments and giftware made by Cartier, Correia and Mont Blanc. In addition, stores operating under the Mayors brand carry Birks brand timepieces and jewelry products on an exclusive basis in the United States.

We have two primary channels of distribution: the retail division, which accounts for approximately 96% of sales, and the corporate sales division, which accounts for approximately 4% of sales.

Product Design, Development and Sourcing

We established a product development process that supports our strategic mission to further develop and enhance our product offering in support of brand development. The centerpiece of this process is the Design Review Committee, which ultimately approves all new product designs and introductions. Products which are not designed and internally manufactured are sourced from suppliers worldwide, enabling us to sell fine quality merchandise often not available from other jewelers in our markets. Our staff of buyers procure distinctive high quality merchandise directly from manufacturers, diamond cutters, and other suppliers worldwide. Our gemstone acquisition team, product sourcing team and category managers specialize in sourcing merchandise in categories such as diamonds, precious gemstones, pearls, timepieces, gold jewelry, and giftware. Retail and merchandising personnel frequently visit our stores and those of competitors to compare value, selection, and service, as well as to observe client reaction to merchandise selection and determine future needs and trends.

Diamond, Gemstone, Pearl and Precious Metal Jewelry

In fiscal 2005, revenues from sales of diamond and precious gemstone and metal jewelry represented approximately 47% of our total net sales. We purchase and consign loose diamonds, gemstones and precious

12

jewelry directly from cutters and dealers in international markets, such as Antwerp, Bangkok, Tel Aviv, and New York, gold jewelry from Italy and pearls from suppliers in Japan and Canada. The loose diamonds and other gemstones are frequently furnished to our in-house jewelry studios for setting, polishing and finishing in order to deliver a distinctive high quality finished product at the best possible value.

Manufacturing

We have manufacturing facilities in Montreal, Vancouver, Rhode Island and Florida that enable us to offer unique, exclusive and high-quality products through an efficient supply chain. Our manufacturing capabilities provide quality control; image enhancement by enabling us to promote our craftsmanship and exclusive design and manufacturing capabilities; improved economics by retaining the margin that would otherwise be paid to a third party provider; and capability to provide customized and/or special design jewelry for customers.

The Montreal facility is the largest of our manufacturing facilities and is involved in all aspects of manufacturing fine jewelry with the exception of the cutting of rough diamonds and other precious stones. Its focus is on manufacturing stone set jewelry. The Rhode Island factory is involved in the production of silver and gold jewelry as well as in stone set jewelry, while each of the Vancouver and Florida facilities focus on specific types of stone set jewelry.

Availability of Products

Although purchases of several critical raw materials, notably gold, diamonds and gemstones, are made from a relatively limited number of sources, we believe that there are numerous alternative sources for all raw materials used in the manufacture of our finished jewelry, and that the failure of any principal supplier would not have a material adverse effect on our operations. Any material changes in foreign or domestic laws and policies affecting international trade may have a material adverse effect on the availability of the diamonds, other gemstones, precious metals and non-jewelry products we purchase.

In fiscal 2005, we purchased jewelry, timepieces and giftware for sale in our stores from over 200 suppliers. Many of these suppliers have long-standing relationships with us. We compete with other jewelry retailers for access to vendors that will provide us with the quality and quantity of merchandise necessary to operate our business. Our relationships with primary suppliers, like Rolex, are generally not pursuant to long-term agreements. Although we believe that alternative sources of supply are available, the abrupt loss of any of our vendors, especially Rolex, or a decline in the quality or quantity of merchandise supplied by our vendors could cause significant disruption in our business. In fiscal 2005, merchandise supplied by Rolex and sold through our stores operating under the Mayors brand accounted for approximately 22% of our total net sales. If Rolex terminated its distribution agreement, such termination would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. We believe that currently our relationships with our vendors are good.

Seasonality

Our sales are highly seasonal, with the third fiscal quarter (which includes the holiday shopping season) historically contributing significantly higher sales than any other quarter during the year. Sales by quarter in fiscal 2005 were 21%, 19%, 40% and 20%, respectively.

Retail Operations, Merchandising and Marketing

General

We believe we are distinguished from most of our competitors because we offer distinctively designed, exclusive products and a selection of distinctive high quality merchandise at a wide range of price points. We keep the majority of our inventory on display in our stores rather than at our distribution facility. Although each store stocks a representative selection of jewelry, timepieces, giftware and other accessories, certain inventory is tailored to meet local tastes and historical merchandise sales patterns of specific stores.

13

We believe that our stores’ elegant surroundings and distinctive merchandise displays play an important role in providing an atmosphere that encourages sales. We pay careful attention to detail in the design and layout of each store, particularly lighting, colors, choice of materials and placement of display cases. We also use window displays as a means of attracting walk-in traffic and reinforcing our distinctive image. Our Visual Display department designs and creates window and store merchandise case displays for all of our stores. Window displays are frequently changed to provide variety and to reflect seasonal events such as Christmas, Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day.

Personnel and Training

We place substantial emphasis on the professionalism of our sales force to maintain our position as a leading luxury jeweler. We strive to hire only highly motivated, professional and customer-oriented individuals. All new sales professionals will attend an intensive training program where they are trained in technical areas of the jewelry business, specific sales and service techniques and our commitment to client service. Management believes that attentive personal service and knowledgeable sales professionals are key components to our success.

As part of our commitment to continuous, on-the-job training, we have established “Birks University” and “Mayors University,” a formalized system of in-house training with a primary focus on client service, selling skills and product knowledge that involves extensive classroom training, the use of detailed operational manuals, in-store mentorship programs and product knowledge testing. In addition, we conduct in-house training seminars on a periodic basis and administer training modules with audits to (i) enhance the quality and professionalism of all sales professionals, (ii) measure the level of knowledge of each sales professional, and (iii) identify needs for additional training. We also provide store management with more extensive management and client service training that emphasizes leadership skills, general management skills, “on-the-job” coaching and training instruction techniques.

Advertising and Promotion

One of our key marketing goals is to build on our reputation in our core markets as a leading luxury jewelry brand offering high quality merchandise in an elegant, sophisticated environment. For example, we frequently run advertisements that associate the “Birks” and “Mayors” brands with internationally recognized brand names such as Cartier, Patek Philippe and Rolex. Advertising and promotions for all stores are developed by our personnel in conjunction with outside creative professionals.

Our advertising reinforces our role as a world class luxury brand that aims to deliver a total shopping experience that is as memorable as our merchandise. Our marketing efforts, which consist of advertising, billboards, direct mailings, special events, media relations, public relations, distinctive store design and elegant displays, are shaped in large part by the brand positioning strategies as well as demographic and consumer trends affecting both the jewelry industry generally and the markets in which we operate.

Credit Operations

We have two private label credit cards, one for each of our brands. The Canadian operation for stores operating under the Birks brand is administered by Wells Fargo Canada, a wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary of Wells Fargo. The U.S. operation for stores operating under the Mayors brand is administered, principally, by Wells Fargo. In addition, stores operating under the Mayors brand also have a Mayors private label credit card which we administer.

Our credit programs are intended to complement our overall merchandising and sales strategy by encouraging larger and more frequent sales to a loyal customer base. Sales under the Birks credit card, which are made with less than 20% recourse to us, accounted for approximately 9% of our net sales during fiscal 2005. Sales under Mayors proprietary credit card and Mayors private label credit card, which are made without recourse to us, together accounted for approximately 17% of our net sales during fiscal 2005.

14

Distribution

Our retail locations receive the majority of their merchandise directly from our distribution warehouses located in Tamarac, Florida and Montreal, Québec. Merchandise is shipped from the distribution warehouse utilizing various air and ground carriers. We also transfer merchandise between retail locations to balance inventory levels and to fulfill client requests, and a very small portion of merchandise is delivered directly to the retail locations from suppliers.

Competition

The North American retail jewelry industry is a $59.4 billion industry and is highly competitive and fragmented, with a few very large national and international competitors and many medium and small regional and local competitors. The market is also fragmented by price and quality. Although Birks and Mayors are luxury jewelry brands, we compete with companies within and outside of this segment. Our competitors include national and international jewelry chains as well as independent regional and local jewelry retailers. We also compete with other types of retailers such as specialty stores and, to a lesser extent, catalog showrooms, discounters, direct mail suppliers, televised home shopping networks, and Internet sites. Many of these competitors have greater financial resources than we do. We believe that competition in our markets is based primarily on the total brand experience including trust, quality craftsmanship, product design and exclusivity, product selection, service excellence, including after sales service, and, to a certain extent, price. With the consolidation of the retail industry that is occurring, we believe that competition with other general and specialty retailers and discounters will continue to increase. Our success will depend on various factors, including general economic and business conditions affecting consumer spending, the performance of national and international retail operations, the acceptance by consumers of our merchandising and marketing programs, store locations and our ability to properly staff and manage our stores.

Regulation

Our operations are affected by numerous federal, provincial and state laws that impose disclosure and other requirements upon the origination, servicing and enforcement of credit accounts and limitations on the maximum amount of finance charges that may be charged by a credit provider. In addition to our proprietary private label credit cards, credit to our clients is primarily available through credit cards such as American Express®, Visa®, MasterCard® and Discover®, without recourse to us in the case of a client’s failure to pay. Any change in the regulation of credit that would materially limit the availability of credit to our traditional customer base could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

We generally utilize the services of independent customs agents to comply with U.S. and Canadian customs laws in connection with our purchases of gold, diamond and other jewelry merchandise from foreign sources.

Trademarks and Copyrights

The designations Birks and Mayors, and the Birks and Mayors logos, are our principal trademarks and are essential to our ability to maintain our competitive position in the luxury jewelry segment. We maintain a program to protect our trademarks and will institute legal action where necessary to prevent others from either registering or using marks that are considered to create a likelihood of confusion with our trademarks. We are also the owner of the original jewelry designs created by our in-house designers and have entered into agreements with several outside designers pursuant to which these designers have assigned to us the rights to use copyrights of designs and products created for us.

Properties

Our head office is in Montreal, Québec. On December 12, 2000, we sold our head office building for Cdn$14,250,000 to Anglo Canadian Investments, L.P. As a condition of the transaction, we agreed that we would lease, on a net basis, the entire property from the purchaser, acting as landlord. We entered into a lease agreement

15

pursuant to which we lease the office building including the Montreal flagship store for a term of 20 years ending December 11, 2020. The current net annual rental rate is Cdn$1,512,500 (approximately $1.3 million U.S. dollars) for the period terminating on December 11, 2006, and increases on a compounded basis by 10% on each third annual anniversary date thereafter (except for the last two years when no increase will take place). The lease is an absolute triple net lease to the landlord, and we are responsible for any and all additional expenses, including, without limitation, taxes and structural expenses. Subject to specific terms and conditions, we have four options to renew and extend the term of the lease for four further terms of five years each, except for the last option which is five years less eleven days, terminating on November 30, 2040. Subject to specific terms and conditions, we also have two options to purchase the premises, which may be exercised no later than six months prior to the end of the fifteenth year of the term of the lease and the end of the twentieth year of the term of the lease, respectively. Our U.S. operations are managed though a local headquarters located in Tamarac, Florida. We entered into a lease agreement for this location for a term of 15 years terminating on November 30, 2020. The current net annual rental rate is $478,510 for the period ending November 30, 2006. We have two options to renew for 5 years each.

We lease all of our store locations. We believe that all of our facilities are well maintained and in good condition and are adequate for our current needs. We are actively negotiating all leases that expire in the next 12 months. Following is a listing of all our properties as of June 30, 2006:

The facility was acquired from Scojen Limited Partnership with a $1.3 million loan from the Rhode Island Industrial Facilities Corporation, the RIIFC, and a loan guaranty from the Rhode Island Industrial-Recreational Building Authority, the IRBA. The IRBA and RIIFC are quasi-public corporations created by the State of Rhode Island to promote economic development in Rhode Island. The loan was effected through a structure consisting of capital lease financing and mortgage insurance. The term of the lease is 20 years at an interest cost of 5% per annum plus a 1% guarantee fee per annum. At the end of the 20 year lease we will have the option to purchase the property for $1,000. For tax purposes, we are considered the current owner of the property.

Item 5. | Operating and Financial Review and Prospects

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified by, our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this annual report. The following discussion includes certain forward-looking statements. For a discussion of important factors, including the continuing development of our business, actions of regulatory authorities and competitors and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from the results referred to in the forward-looking statements, see Item 3., “Key Information” under the heading “Risk Factors” and the discussion under the heading “Forward-Looking Information” at the beginning of this annual report.

Throughout this annual report, we refer to our fiscal years ended March 25, 2006, March 26, 2005 and March 27, 2004 as fiscal 2005, fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2003, respectively. Our fiscal year consists of 52 weeks (reported in four 13-week periods) or 53 weeks (reported in three 13-week periods and one 14-week period), and ends on the last Saturday in March of each year. Fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003 included 52 weeks.

We acquired approximately 72% of the voting control in Mayors on August 20, 2002. Since that date, the results of Mayors have been consolidated in our financial statements, subject to the deduction of the minority interest prior to the merger. As a result, our results in prior periods are not directly comparable.

Between August 2002 and November 2005 it became apparent to both Mayors and Birks management that it was in the best interests of the shareholders to combine the two companies. Management believed that such combination would create a stronger capital base, improve operating efficiencies, reduce the impact of regional issues, simplify the corporate ownership of Mayors, eliminate management and Board of Directors’ inefficiencies with managing intercompany issues, and possibly increase shareholder liquidity. Upon the consummation of the merger on November 14, 2005, each outstanding share of the Mayors common stock not currently owned by Birks was converted into 0.08695 Class A voting shares of Birks. As a result of the merger, Mayors common stock ceased trading on the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) and Birks & Mayors began trading on the AMEX under the trading symbol “BMJ.” Since the merger, Birks & Mayors has worked very diligently to fully integrate the Birks business with Mayors and believes the integration process is substantially complete.

Overview

Birks & Mayors is a leading designer, maker and purveyor of luxury jewelry, timepieces and giftware in the United States and Canada. As of March 25, 2006, we operated 39 stores under the Birks brand in most major metropolitan markets of Canada and 28 stores under the Mayors brand in Florida and Georgia. Our operations increased significantly as a result of our acquisition of approximately 72% of the voting power in Mayors in August 2002. Prior to the merger, we controlled Mayors through our ownership of Mayors preferred stock and common stock. Mayors was a majority-owned subsidiary of Birks and its results were consolidated in our results,

18

subject to the deduction of the minority interest. Specifically, our results of operations for the periods after the acquisition of Mayors in August 2002 include 100% of Mayors revenues and expenses, with Mayors net loss allocated between Birks and the minority stockholders of Mayors based on their respective common stock ownership.

Because the acquisition of Mayors took place in August 2002, our results of operations include the results of U.S. operations for the entire period in fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2003.

We operate our business in two geographic areas, Canada and the Southeast United States. We have two reportable segments, retail and other. Retail is comprised of all our retail operations in the U.S. and Canada. In Canada, we operate stores under the Birks brand. In the Southeast United States, we operate stores under the Mayors brand. Other consists primarily of our corporate sales division which services the business customer by providing them unique items for recognition programs, service awards and business gifts and also includes manufacturing which manufactures unique products for the retail segment of our business.

Our net sales are comprised of revenues (including retail, corporate, catalogue and internet sales), net of discounts, and service operations, in each case, excluding sales tax. Sales are recognized at the point of sale when merchandise is taken or shipped. Sales of consignment merchandise are recognized on a full retail basis at such time that the merchandise is sold. Revenues for gift certificates and store credits are recognized upon redemption. Customers use cash, checks, debit cards, third-party credit cards, proprietary credit cards and house accounts (primarily for corporate sales customers) to make purchases.

Our operating costs and expenses are primarily comprised of cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses. Cost of sales includes cost of merchandise, direct inbound freight, direct labor related to repair services, design and creative, the jewelry studio, manufacturing costs, inventory shrink, inventory thefts, jewelry, watch and giftware boxes as well as depreciation and amortization of production facilities and production tools, dies and molds and, in addition, product development costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) include, but are not limited to, all non-production payroll and benefits (including non-cash compensation expense), store and head office occupancy costs, overhead, marketing (net of amounts received from vendors for cooperative advertising), credit card fees, information systems, professional services, consulting fees, repairs and maintenance, travel and entertainment, insurance, legal and public relations expenses. Depreciation includes depreciation and amortization of our stores and head office, including buildings, leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures, computer hardware and software and automobiles and trucks. Occupancy, overhead and depreciation are generally less variable relative to net sales than other components of SG&A such as credit card fees and certain elements of payroll, such as commissions. Additionally, SG&A includes indirect costs such as freight, including inter-store transfers, receiving costs, distribution costs, warehousing costs and quality control costs. The amounts of these indirect costs in selling, general and administrative expenses are approximately $2.7 million, $2.7 million and $2.6 million for fiscal years 2005, 2004 and 2003 respectively.

We believe that the key drivers of our performance are our ability to:

| • |  | execute our merchandising strategy to increase net sales and expand gross margin in existing stores by developing and marketing higher margin exclusive and unique products, and developing our internal capability to design, develop, manufacture or source products;

| • |  | execute our marketing strategy to enhance customer awareness and appreciation of our two retail brands, Birks and Mayors as well as the Birks product brand, and to increase customer traffic and net sales through regional and national advertising campaigns on television, billboards, and print, catalog mailings, in-store client events, community relations, media and public relations, partnerships with key suppliers, such as Mayors relationship with Rolex, and associations with prestige institutions;

| • |  | provide a superior client experience through consistent outstanding customer service that will ensure customer satisfaction and promote the frequency and value of customer spending; and

| • |  | expand distribution by selective new store openings in existing and new markets.

Foreign Currency

Because we have operations in the United States and Canada, our results are affected by foreign currency changes. Revenue and expenses incurred in Canadian dollars are translated into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes. Changes in the value of the Canadian dollar compared to the U.S. dollar between periods impact our results and affect period over period comparison. Over the past two years the value of the Canadian dollar has increased significantly compared to the U.S. dollar which, for reporting purposes, has increased our net sales and expenses from Canadian operations.

Comparable Store Sales

We use comparable store sales as a key performance measure for our business. We classify stores as new or comparable stores and do not include our non-retail store sales in comparable store calculations. New stores are stores that have been open for less than 12 full months. Stores enter the comparable store calculation in their thirteenth full month of operation. Stores that have been resized and stores that are relocated are evaluated on a case by case basis to determine if they are functionally the same store or a new store and then are included or excluded from comparable store sales, accordingly. Comparable store sales is calculated in local currency terms and measures the percentage change in net sales for comparable stores in a period compared to the corresponding period in the previous year. If a comparable store is not open for the entirety of both periods, comparable store sales measures the change in net sales for the portion of time that such store was open in both periods.

The percentage increase in comparable stores sales for the periods presented below is as follows:

|  | Fiscal Year Ended |
|  | March 25, 2006 |  |  | March 26, 2005 |  |  | March 27, 2004 |
Canada |  | 7 | % |  | 0 | % |  | 2 | %
U.S. |  | 13 | % |  | 12 | % |  | 16 | %
Total |  | 11 | % |  | 7 | % |  | 10 | %

We believe the increase in overall comparable store sales for fiscal 2003 through fiscal 2005 is primarily the result of three factors: improvements in the U.S. and Canadian economies, successful execution of retail merchandising strategies which include increasing the level of exclusive merchandise and enhanced brand awareness as a result of implementation of targeted use of catalogs, television, outdoor and print advertising as well as other marketing programs. In particular, the comparable store sales increase in the U.S. of 13% and 12% for fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively, was primarily attributable to the resurgence of the economy in Florida and Georgia during this period as well as the improved merchandising of the stores combined with effective marketing programs and retail store initiatives. The comparable store sales increase of 16% in the U.S. during fiscal 2003 was primarily a result of the stabilization and effective management of the retail businesses after the investment in Mayors by Birks. The comparable store sales in Canada of 7% during fiscal 2005 were the result of the strong Canadian economy and also the result of effective marketing programs and retail store initiatives. By comparison, the comparable store sales were unchanged in Canada in fiscal 2004 since sales increases achieved by effective marketing and merchandising programs were offset by lower January sales in 2005 compared with 2004.

Fiscal 2005 Compared to Fiscal 2004

The following table sets forth, for fiscal 2005 and for fiscal 2004, the amounts for certain items in our consolidated statements of operations.

|  | Fiscal Year Ended |
|  | March 25, 2006 |  |  | March 26, 2005 |

Net Sales

|  | Fiscal Year Ended
|  | March 25, 2006 |  | March 26, 2005
|  | (Amounts in thousands)
Net sales – Retail |  | $ | 261,750 |  | $ | 228,350
Net sales – Other |  |  | 12,573 |  |  | 10,951
Total Net Sales |  | $ | 274,323 |  | $ | 239,301

Net sales were $274.3 million for fiscal 2005 compared to $239.3 million for fiscal 2004. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by higher comparable store sales growth of 11%. The increase in comparable store sales growth was primarily driven by an increase in the average sales amount per transaction. The sales growth of $35.0 million was also impacted by $7.6 million related to translating the sales of the Canadian operations to U.S. dollars with a relatively stronger Canadian dollar.

Cost of Sales

|  | Fiscal Year Ended
|  | March 25, 2006 |  | March 26, 2005
|  | (Amounts in thousands)
Cost of sales – Retail |  | $ | 134,830 |  | $ | 119,639
Cost of sales – Other |  |  | 9,979 |  |  | 10,398
Total Cost of Sales |  | $ | 144,809 |  | $ | 130,037

21

Costs of sales were $144.8 million for fiscal 2005 compared to $130.0 million for fiscal 2004. This increase was primarily the result of the increased volume of sales. Of the $14.8 million increase, $3.8 million was the result of the impact of translating the cost of sales of the Canadian operations to U.S. dollars with a relatively stronger Canadian dollar. Included in cost of sales for fiscal 2005 and 2004 was approximately $0.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively of depreciation expense associated with manufacturing operations.

Gross Profit. Gross profit was $129.5 million for fiscal 2005 compared to $109.3 million for fiscal 2004. Gross margin was 47.2% for fiscal 2005 compared to 45.7% for fiscal 2004. Of the $20.2 million increase in gross profit, $3.8 million was the result of the impact of translating the net sales and cost of sales of the Canadian operations to U.S. dollars with a relatively stronger Canadian dollar. The balance of the increase in gross profit and the gross margin percentage improvement was primarily due to the continued successful execution of retail and merchandising strategies aimed at increasing the sales of higher margin merchandise we design and make or source as well as improved inventory management.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $109.7 million, or 40.0% of net sales, for fiscal 2005 compared to $95.9 million, or 40.1% of net sales, for fiscal 2004. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2005 includes an increase of $3.6 million resulting from the impact of translating Canadian dollar expenses to U.S. dollars. The remaining increase in selling, general and administrative expense was primarily a result of higher variable costs associated with the higher level of sales and expanded marketing efforts. Included in SG&A for fiscal 2005 is $0.6 million of non-cash compensation income compared to $1.0 million of non-cash compensation expense in fiscal 2004. Also included in SG&A for fiscal 2005 are approximately $1.2 million of expenses incurred related to our decision to merge with Mayors that, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, were not capitalized as well as certain other legal expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $5.6 million for fiscal 2005 compared to $4.7 million for fiscal 2004. This $0.9 million increase was primarily due to an additional investment in fixed assets of $7.8 million.

Other items. Other items of approximately $0.5 million of income for fiscal 2005 were primarily related to adjustment of sales tax contingency estimates. The $1.2 million in other items in fiscal 2004 consists primarily of income as a result of a settlement of a sales tax audit for less than the amount accrued as well as the adjustment of other sales tax contingency estimate.

Interest and Other Financial Costs. Interest and other financial costs were $8.9 million for fiscal 2005 compared to $8.7 million for fiscal 2004. This increase was primarily due to the impact of the increase in value of the Canadian dollar compared to the U.S. dollar.

Fiscal 2004 Compared to Fiscal 2003

The following table sets forth, for fiscal 2004 and for fiscal 2003, the amounts for certain items in our consolidated statements of operations.

|  | Fiscal Year Ended |
|  | March 26, 2005 |  |  | March 27, 2004 |
|  | (Amounts in thousands) |
Net sales |  | $ | 239,301 |  |  | $ | 216,256 |

Net Sales

|  | Fiscal Year Ended
|  | March 26, 2005 |  | March 27, 2004
|  | (Amounts in thousands)
Net sales – Retail |  | $ | 228,350 |  | $ | 206,351
Net sales – Other |  |  | 10,951 |  |  | 9,905
Total Net Sales |  | $ | 239,301 |  | $ | 216,256

Net sales were $239.3 million for fiscal 2004 compared to $216.3 million for fiscal 2003. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by a 7% increase in comparable store sales. Of the $23.0 million of net sales increase, $5.3 million was the result of the impact of translating the sales of the Canadian operations to U.S. dollars with a relatively stronger Canadian dollar. The balance of the increase in overall net sales for fiscal 2004 was driven by internal growth, primarily the result of an effective mix of successful retail merchandising strategies, increased focus on core inventory, effective new product development, enhanced marketing initiatives and customer events, and the continued increase in consumer confidence and spending compared to fiscal 2003.

Cost of Sales

|  | Fiscal Year Ended
|  | March 26, 2005 |  | March 27, 2004
|  | (Amounts in thousands)
Cost of sales – Retail |  | $ | 119,639 |  | $ | 108,187
Cost of sales – Other |  |  | 10,398 |  |  | 10,674
Total Cost of Sales |  | $ | 130,037 |  | $ | 118,861

Cost of sales were $130.0 million for fiscal 2004 compared to $118.9 million for fiscal 2003. This increase was primarily the result of the increased volume of sales. Of the $11.1 million increase, $2.7 million was the

23

result of the impact of translating the cost of sales of the Canadian operations to U.S. dollars with a relatively stronger Canadian dollar. Included in cost of sales for fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2003 was approximately $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively of depreciation expense associated with manufacturing operations.

Gross Profit. Gross profit was $109.3 million for fiscal 2004 compared to $97.4 million for fiscal 2003. Gross margin was 45.7% for fiscal 2004 compared to 45.0% for fiscal 2003. Of the $11.9 million increase in gross profit, $2.7 million was the result of the impact of translating the net sales and cost of sales of the Canadian operations to U.S. dollars with a relatively stronger Canadian dollar. The balance of the increase in gross profit and gross margin was primarily due to the continued successful execution of merchandising strategies aimed at increasing the level of exclusive merchandise designed and made by us as well as the reduction of product markdowns in our stores.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $95.9 million, or 40.1% of net sales, for fiscal 2004 compared to $94.2 million, or 43.5% of net sales, for fiscal 2003. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2004 was primarily a result of an increase of $2.4 million resulting from the impact of translating Canadian dollar expenses to U.S. dollars, and an increase in expenses related to the increase in sales. Also impacting the increase were additional expenses related to our expanded marketing efforts. Selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2004 also included $0.7 million of expenses incurred related to the restatement of certain reports previously filed by Mayors with the Securities and Exchange Commission and approximately $0.8 million of merger related expenses incurred by Mayors offset by $0.6 million related to the reduction of actuarial based health care accruals as a result of lower than expected health care claims and a net reduction of all other selling, general and administrative expenses of $0.8 million as well as by a decrease in non-cash compensation expense of $1.1 million due to a decrease in Mayors stock price. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales for fiscal 2004 was primarily due to the positive impact of leveraging the incremental increase in net sales against that portion of the operating expenses that are fixed, such as fixed occupancy, overhead and depreciation, and a slight percentage decrease in variable expenses combined with cost savings and efficiencies.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $4.7 million for fiscal 2004 compared to $4.3 million for fiscal 2004. This $0.4 million increase was primarily due to an additional investment in fixed assets and, to a lesser extent, to the impact of the increase in the value of the Canadian dollar compared to the U.S. dollar on the depreciation expense of the Canadian property and equipment.

Other items. Other items of approximately $1.2 million of income for fiscal 2004 consists primarily of income as a result of a settlement of a sales tax audit for less than the amount accrued as well as the adjustment of other sales tax contingency estimate.

Interest and Other Financial Costs. Interest and other financial costs were $8.7 million for fiscal 2004 compared to $8.0 million for fiscal 2003. This increase was primarily due to higher average interest bearing debt and by the impact of the increase in value of the Canadian dollar compared to the U.S. dollar on Canadian dollar interest expense offset partially by lower interest rates on that debt.

Minority Interest in Loss of Subsidiary. Minority interest in loss of subsidiary includes amounts attributed to the minority interest in Mayors and results from Birks consolidating the results of operations of Mayors, with losses from Mayors operations being allocated on a pro rata basis between Birks and Mayors minority stockholders based on their relative ownership of Mayors common stock, which represents Mayors residual equity. The minority interest in loss of Birks’ subsidiary was $7.2 million in fiscal 2003. Due to the significant losses by Mayors subsequent to the investment by Birks, the minority interest portion of the losses reduced the minority net assets to below zero. However, their investment is limited to nil since there is no guarantee of the

24

losses by minority stockholders. In fiscal 2004, even though Mayors recorded a profit, the minority portion did not generate sufficient profit to bring the minority net assets to zero. Therefore, there is no recognition of the minority portion of the income on the statement of operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have a $135 million revolving working capital credit facility from Bank of America N.A. and GMAC Commercial Finance LLC, which matures on January 19, 2009.

We also have a $11.7 million junior secured term loan with Back Bay Capital. The junior secured term loan has a maturity date of August 18, 2007 and can be prepaid without penalty effective August 18, 2006, subject to the achievement of certain excess borrowing capacity thresholds on our revolving working capital facility. The junior secured term loan bears an effective interest rate of 12.75%.

Our working capital credit facility bears interest at a floating rate of prime or prime plus .25% depending on the excess borrowing capacity, or, at our election, at a LIBOR based rate plus 1.25%, or LIBOR based rate plus 1.50%, or, LIBOR based rate plus 2.00% depending on the excess borrowing capacity and fixed coverage ratio. On March 25, 2006 the borrowing was at Prime and at LIBOR plus 1.50%. Borrowing availability under our facility is determined based on the valuation of certain inventory, accounts receivable and, more specifically, by applying a certain advance rate to the net orderly liquidation value (NOLV) of such assets. The advance rates applied to the NOLV of the inventory will be adjusted higher concurrently with the prepayment of the junior secured term loan, if prepaid.

If after the prepayment of the junior secured term loan, we will need to use advance rates over 85% of the NOLV of inventory, the interest rate for the portion of the working capital credit facility supported by the advance rate over 85% will bear interest at LIBOR plus 4.50% or at prime plus 2.75%.

Our working capital credit facility is secured by a first priority lien over substantially all of our assets, including our subsidiaries assets. Under our facility, we must test two financial covenants at the end of each quarter if and when the average excess borrowing capacity for the last month of the quarter is lower than $8.75 million or the excess borrowing capacity is lower than $6.25 million at any time. The two financial covenants are:

| i) | Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1 to 1.

| ii) | Minimum EBITDA at least equal to 80% of the planned EBITDA.

As of March 25, 2006, our excess borrowing capacity was $24.1 million.

Our working capital credit facility also contains limitations on our ability to pay dividends, more specifically, among others, we can pay dividends only at certain excess borrowing capacity thresholds and the aggregate dividend payment for the twelve month period ended as of any fiscal quarter cannot exceed 33% of the consolidated net income for such twelve month period.

We are currently in compliance with all the covenants contained in our credit facilities. We rely on borrowings under our working capital credit facility to fund our day-to-day operations.

25

Borrowings under our working capital credit facility for the periods indicated in the table below were as follows:

|  | Fiscal Year Ended |
|  | March 25, 2006 |  |  | March 26, 2005 |
|  | (Amounts in thousands) |
Working capital credit facility availability |  | $ | 100,498 |  |  | $ | 91,587 |
Borrowing at period end |  |  | 76,381 |  |  |  | 74,254 |
Excess borrowing capacity at period end |  | $ | 24,117 |  |  | $ | 17,333 |
Average outstanding balance during the period |  | $ | 81,298 |  |  | $ | 75,098 |
Weighted average interest rate for period |  |  | 5.67 | % |  |  | 5.02 | %

In addition to the working capital credit facility and the junior secured term loan, we have several other outstanding loans as of March 25, 2006: (1) a $2.2 million term loan from La Financière du Québec that bears interest at a rate of prime plus 1.5% per annum, which equated to 7.0% at March 25, 2006, and repayable in monthly installments through maturity in June 2010, (2) a $ 0.2 million loan payable to the Small Business Loan Fund Corporation, bearing interest at 6% per annum repayable in monthly installments maturing in April 2010, (3) a $0.1 million term loan with Sovereign Bank which bears interest at a rate of 6.75% and matures in February 2009 and (4) a $0.1 million non-revolving demand loan from Bank of Montreal bearing interest at an annual rate of prime plus 1% maturing in May 2009.

We had net cash flows from continuing operations of $14.0 million in fiscal 2005 and $6.4 million in fiscal 2004. In fiscal 2003, we used $3.0 million in cash flow from continuing operations to fund operations. The increase in cash flows from operations in fiscal 2005 was primarily the result of an increase in net earnings after adjustment for non-cash items, and higher level of accounts payable. The improvement in cash flow activity in fiscal 2004 was primarily result of increased earnings and decreased inventory compared to fiscal 2003.

Net cash used in investing activities was $6.8 million in fiscal 2005 and primarily related to capital expenditures for store renovations, one new store, and information technology and lease hold improvements for the new corporate office in Florida. Net cash used in investing activities was $4.9 million in fiscal 2004, primarily related to capital expenditures for information technology, the purchase of the Rhode Island manufacturing facility and store remodeling. Net cash used by investing activities was $3.6 million in fiscal 2003, primarily related to capital expenditures for leasehold improvements for our head office, one new store and information systems.

Net cash used in financing activities was $7.1 million for fiscal 2005, primarily related to payment of term loans and other debt instruments Net cash used in financing activities was $1.4 million in fiscal 2004, primarily related to the payment of bank indebtedness and term loans. Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $7.3 million in fiscal 2003, primarily related to net borrowings under credit facilities less payment of other debt.

The following table discloses capital expenditures in fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003.

|  | Fiscal Year Ended
|  | March 25, 2006 |  | March 26, 2005 |  | March 27, 2004
|  | (Amounts in thousands)

(1) | Includes capital expenditures financed by capital leases of $1.5 million in fiscal 2005, $1.6 million in fiscal 2004 and $0.4 million in fiscal 2003.

26

Capital expenditures for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007 are projected to be approximately $10 million to $11 million.

Management believes that barring a significant external event that materially adversely affects our current business or the current industry trends as a whole, borrowing capacity under the working capital credit facility, projected cash flows from operations and other short term borrowings will be sufficient to support our working capital needs, capital expenditures and debt service for at least the next 12 months.

Commitments and Contractual Obligations

The following table discloses aggregate information about our contractual cash obligations as of March 25, 2006 and the periods in which payments are due:

|  | Payment Due by Period
|  | Total |  | Less Than 1 Year |  | 1-3 Years |  | 3-5 Years |  | More than 5 Years
|  | (Amounts shown in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Debt maturities |  | $ | 90,575 |  | $ | 12,302 |  | $ | 77,662 |  | $ | 611 |  | $ | —

Employment agreements(1) |  |  | 4,658 |  |  | 2,230 |  |  | 2,428 |  |  | — |  |  | —
Operating lease obligations(2) |  |  | 63,502 |  |  | 12,858 |  |  | 22,094 |  |  | 13,561 |  |  | 14,989

Total |  | $ | 211,442 |  | $ | 31,746 |  | $ | 109,378 |  | $ | 20,329 |  | $ | 49,989

(1) | Employment agreements do not include any open-ended employment contracts.

(2) | The operating lease obligations do not include insurance, taxes and common area maintenance (CAM) charges to which we are obligated. CAM charges were $2,926 in fiscal 2005, $2,751 in fiscal 2004 and $2,448 in fiscal 2003.

(3) | The fixed rate interest expenses do not include floating rate interest payable on $78.6 million of floating rate debt, which as of March 25, 2006 bore interest at an average annual rate of 5.9%.

From time-to-time, the Company guarantees a portion of its private label credit card sales to its credit card vendor. As at March 25, 2006, the amount guaranteed under such arrangements is approximately $2,000,000. The bad debt experience under these guarantees has been minimal and it is not probable that the Company will be required to make significant payments under these guarantees.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 25, 2006, our only off-balance sheet arrangement was a letter of credit, in the amount of $0.3 million, issued under our credit facility to Wells Fargo. We do not believe that this letter of credit has or is reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, results of operation or liquidity.

Leases

We lease all of our retail locations under operating leases with the exception of our Montreal store which is under a capital lease. Additionally, we have operating leases for certain equipment. The costs of no single lease are significant to us.

Operating leases for store locations are expensed over the term of the initial lease period. Lease renewal periods are available on most leases, however are not included in the accounting lease term because we believe

27

there are no punitive terms or circumstances associated with non-renewal that would reasonably assure renewal. The accounting lease term typically includes a fixturing period which is expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term. All reasonably assured rent escalations, rent holidays, contingent rent and rent concessions are included when considering the straight-line rent to be expensed. Lease incentives are recorded as deferred rent and amortized as reductions to lease expense over the lease term. Contingent rent payments are expensed as incurred, vary by lease and are based on a percentage of revenue above a predetermined sales level. This level is different for each location and includes and excludes various types of sales.

Leasehold improvements are capitalized and typically include fixturing and store renovations. Amortization of leasehold improvements begins on the date the asset was placed in service and extends to the lesser of the economic life of the leasehold improvement and the initial lease term. Our lease of our Montreal headquarters’ land and building is accounted for as a capital lease. We entered into a sale-leaseback transaction on the building which resulted in gross proceeds of $9,474,000 based on the foreign exchange rate on the day of the transaction (Cdn$14,250,000). The lease is for a 20-year period from the date of inception, December 12, 2000. The lease allows for several additional term extensions of the lease; however, management has only committed for the initial 20-year period. The implicit interest rate of the long-term debt associated with the capital lease is 10.74%.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions about future events and their impact on amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes. Since future events and their impact cannot be determined with certainty, the actual results may differ from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions are evaluated on an on-going basis and are based on historical experience and on various factors that are believed to be reasonable.

We have identified certain critical accounting policies as noted below.

Revenue recognition

Sales are recognized at the point of sale when merchandise is taken or shipped. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are included in net sales. Revenues for gift certificate sales and store credits are recognized upon redemption. Prior to recognition as a sale, gift certificates are recorded as accrued liabilities on the balance sheet. Certificates outstanding for more than 24 months and not subject to unclaimed property laws are recorded as income. Certificates outstanding for more than 24 months and subject to unclaimed property laws are maintained as accrued liabilities until remitted in accordance with local ordinance. Sales of consignment merchandise are recognized at such time as the merchandise is sold and are recorded on a gross basis in accordance with EITF 99-19 because we are the primary obligor of the transaction, have general latitude on setting the price, have discretion as to the suppliers, are involved in the selection of the product and have inventory loss risk. Sales are reported net of returns. We generally give our customers the right to return merchandise purchased by them within 10 to 30 days and record a provision at the time of sale for the effect of the estimated returns. Repair sales are recorded at the time the service is rendered.

Allowance for inventory shrink and slow moving inventory

The allowance for inventory shrink is estimated for the period from the last physical inventory date to the end of the reporting period on a store by store basis and at our factories and distribution centers. Such estimates are based on experience and the shrink results from the last physical inventory. The shrink rate from the most recent physical inventory, in combination with historical experience, is the basis for providing a shrink allowance.

We write down inventory for estimated slow moving inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based on assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.

28

Allowance for doubtful accounts

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets held and used by us are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Measurement of an impairment loss for such long-lived assets would be based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Staff Position (“FSP” No FAS 13-1), Accounting for Rental Costs Incurred during a Construction Period, which requires that rental costs associated with ground or building operating leases incurred during a construction period be recognized as rental expense and included in income from continuing operations. FSP No FAS 13.1 is effective for the Company as of its fiscal year beginning March 26, 2006. The adoption of FSP No FAS 13-1 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R) “Share-Based Payments” which addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. SFAS No. 123(R) requires an entity to recognize the grant-date fair-value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees in the income statement. SFAS No. 123(R) generally requires that an entity account for those transactions using the fair-value-based method, and eliminates an entity’s ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method of accounting in APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” which was permitted under SFAS No. 123, as originally issued. SFAS No. 123(R) is effective for us as of our fiscal year beginning March 26, 2006. We believe the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs,” to amend the guidance in Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing,” of FASB Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, “Restatement and Revision of Accounting Research Bulletins.” SFAS No. 151 clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). The Statement requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges. Additionally, SFAS No. 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS No. 151 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Non-Monetary Assets — an Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29,” to address the accounting for nonmonetary exchanges of productive assets. SFAS No. 153 amends APB No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Exchanges,” which established a narrow exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets from fair value measurement. SFAS No. 153 eliminates that exception and replaces it with an exception for exchanges that do not have commercial substance. Under SFAS No. 153 nonmonetary exchanges are required to be accounted for at fair value, recognizing any gains or losses, if the fair value is determinable within reasonable limits and the transaction has commercial substance. It specifies that a nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS No. 153 is effective prospectively for nonmonetary asset exchange transactions in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 153 is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

29

In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47 (“FIN 47”), Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligation to clarify that an entity must recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liability’s fair value can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 also defines when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. FIN 47 is effective for fiscal 2005 and did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections — a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. SFAS No. 154 replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to do so, in which case other alternatives are required. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We have not yet determined the impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 154 will have on our financial position or results of operations.

Inflation

The impact of inflation on our operations has not been significant to date.

Birks & Mayors Equity Incentive Plans

Long-Term Incentive Plan

In 2006, Birks & Mayors adopted a Long-Term Incentive Plan to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility, to provide additional incentive to employees and consultants and to promote the success of Birks & Mayors business. As of June 30, 2006, there were 9,000 cash-based stock appreciation rights that were granted under the Long-Term Incentive Plan. The stock appreciation rights outstanding under the Long-Term Incentive Plan have a weighted average exercise price of $6.12.

In general, the Long-Term Incentive Plan will be administered by Birks & Mayors Board of Directors or a committee designated by the Board of Directors. Any employee or consultant selected by the administrator is eligible for any type of award provided for under the Long-Term Incentive Plan, except that incentive stock options may not be granted to consultants. The selection of the grantees and the nature and size of grants and awards will be wholly within the discretion of the administrator. The Long-Term Incentive Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options that qualify under Section 422 of the Code and non-statutory options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and performance unit or share awards, as such terms are defined in the Long-Term Incentive Plan.

The Long-Term Incentive Plan authorizes the issuance of 900,000 Class A voting shares, which will consist of authorized but unissued Class A voting shares. In the event of a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, combination or reclassification or similar transaction or other change in corporate structure affecting Class A voting shares, adjustments will be made to the Long-Term Incentive Plan.

34

We cannot issue Class A voting shares or awards under the Long-Term Incentive Plan if such issuance, when combined with the Class A voting shares issuable under any of our other equity incentive award plans and all other Class A voting shares issuable under the Long-Term Incentive Plan would exceed 1,304,025 Class A voting shares, unless the issuance of such shares or awards in excess of this limit is approved by the shareholders of the Company. This limit shall not restrict however, the Company to issue awards under the Long-Term Incentive Plan that are payable other than in shares, including cash-settled stock appreciation rights.

In the event of a change in control of Birks & Mayors, the administrator, at its sole discretion, may determine that all outstanding awards will become fully and immediately exercisable and vested. In the event of dissolution or liquidation of Birks & Mayors, the administrator may, at its sole discretion, declare that any stock option or stock appreciation right shall terminate as of a date fixed by the administrator and give the grantee the right to exercise such option or stock option right.

In the event of a merger or asset sale or other change in control, as defined by the Long-Term Incentive Plan, the administrator may, in its sole discretion, take any of the following actions or any other action the administrator deems to be fair to the holders of the awards:

| • |  | Provide that all outstanding awards upon the consummation of such a merger or sale shall be assumed by, or an equivalent option or right shall be substituted by, the successor corporation or parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation;

| • |  | Prior to the occurrence of the change in control, provide that all outstanding awards to the extent they are exercisable and vested shall be terminated in exchange for a cash payment equal to the change in control price; or

| • |  | Prior to the occurrence of the change in control, provide for the grantee to have the right to exercise the award as to all or a portion of the covered stock, including, if so determined by the administrator, in its sole discretion, shares as to which it would not otherwise be exercisable.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In 2006, Birks & Mayors adopted an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), which was approved in February 2006. The ESPP permits eligible employees, which do not include executives of Birks & Mayors Inc., to purchase our Class A voting shares from Birks & Mayors at 85% of its fair market value through regular payroll deductions. A total of 100,000 shares of our Class A voting shares are reserved for issuance under the ESPP. As of June 30, 2006, no shares have been issued under the ESPP.

Birks’ Employee Stock Option Plan

Effective May 1, 1997, Birks adopted an Employee Stock Option Plan (the “Birks ESOP”) designed to attract and retain the services of selected employees or non-employee directors of Birks or its affiliates who are in a position to make a material contribution to the successful operation of our business. The Birks ESOP was amended as of June 20, 2000. Effective as of November 15, 2005, no awards will be granted under the Birks ESOP. However, the Birks ESOP will remain in effect until the outstanding awards thereunder terminate or expire by their terms. As of June 30, 2006 there were 162,637 Class A voting shares underlying options granted under the Birks ESOP.

Ms. Federighi is the daughter-in-law of Dr. Rossi, who is our Chairman of the Board and controlling shareholder. Our Board of Directors, on February 10, 2006, approved a waiver of our Code of Conduct in allowing Ms. Federighi to provide us her consulting services.

Arrangements with Directors

On April 23, 2004, four of our directors, Lorenzo Rossi di Montelera, Peter R. O’Brien, Shirley A. Dawe and Margherita Oberti, and one former director, Rosamond Ivey, were each awarded 5,000 options to purchase Birks & Mayors stock in lieu of directors’ fees and fees for attending committee meetings. On July 9, 2005, Ms. Dawe relinquished the 5,000 options and received as consideration a cash payment in respect of directors’ fees (Cdn$15,000) and committee fees (Cdn$4,000) for the year ending March 26, 2005.

We retain Pheidias Project Management and Oberti Architectural & Urban Design for project management and architectural services. Pheidias Project Management and Oberti Architectural have been involved in almost all renovations and our new stores since 1993, as well as in the renovation of our executive offices. The principal of Pheidias Project Management and Oberti Architectural is the spouse of Margherita Oberti, one of our directors. For fiscal 2005, Pheidias Project Management and Oberti Architectural & Urban Design as project managers and architects charged us approximately $532,000 for services rendered.

On a continuing basis, we receive Canadian legal services from the law firm Stikeman Elliott LLP, of which Peter R. O’Brien is a former senior partner since December 2005. Peter R. O’Brien is also one of our directors. For fiscal 2005, Stikeman Elliott LLP charged us approximately $373,000 for legal services rendered and expenses.

Separation Agreement

On January 18, 2005, Birks & Mayors and John D. Ball, our former Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, entered into a separation Agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, John D. Ball benefited from a six-and-a-half month working notice period during which he continued to be a Birks employee and continued to receive his salary and benefits. In addition, we repurchased 8,093 Class A voting shares that Mr. Ball beneficially owns, at Cdn$10.00 a share. All of Mr. Ball’s stock options vested on March 25, 2005. On May 12, 2005, Mr. Ball and Birks entered into an agreement whereby Birks recommended that Mayors repurchase Mr. Ball’s 501,348 warrants to purchase Mayors common stock for a price of US$150,000. Upon payment, Mr. Ball waived certain rights that he had or may have had including payout of salary after July 1, 2005 otherwise due under his agreement. On May 26, 2005, Mayors entered into a Warrant Redemption Agreement with Mr. Ball. Under the terms and conditions of the agreement, Mayors agreed to repurchase all of Mr. Ball’s warrants to purchase common stock of Mayors for US$150,000. Additionally, Mr. Ball agreed to release Mayors from any and all claims arising from or related to the warrants. In connection with the purchase of the warrants, Mayors received a waiver from its lenders under the Mayors credit facility then in place.

Convertible Notes

On August 20, 2002, Henry Birks & Sons Holdings Inc. issued a convertible note of $2.5 million to Iniziativa S.A. secured by our investment in Mayors capital stock. The note was non-interest bearing until September 29, 2007 and bore 6.0% interest per annum thereafter, payable on the principal repayment dates. The convertible note was convertible into common shares of Birks, at the option of the holder. On March 14, 2005, the convertible note was cancelled, and we issued a new convertible note to Iniziativa S.A. The new convertible note had the same terms and conditions as the cancelled convertible note except that the new convertible note issued to Iniziativa S.A. bears 0.25% interest per annum from the date of issuance until September 29, 2007 and is convertible into 504,876 Class B multiple voting shares. Pursuant to the merger, the convertible note was converted into Class B multiple voting shares.

41

On September 30, 2002, Birks issued a convertible note of $2.5 million to Prime Investments SA secured by our investment in Mayors capital stock. The note was non-interest bearing until September 29, 2007 and bore 6.0% interest per annum thereafter, payable on the principal repayment dates. The convertible note issued to Prime Investments SA was, pursuant to an amendment made on March 14, 2005, convertible into 512,015 Class A voting shares, at the option of the holder. Pursuant to the merger, this convertible note to Prime Investments was converted into Class A voting shares.

Loans from Iniziativa S.A.

Iniziativa S.A. issued us a loan pursuant to a loan agreement, dated as of February 16, 2004, as amended as of February 23, 2004, for Cdn$2.5 million. The loan was secured by an interest in our moveable property. It was subordinated and bore net interest, after withholding taxes, of 12.0% per annum until September 2005, and increased to 14.0% per annum thereafter. The loan was pre-payable by us without penalty, but principal and interest was repayable only if authorized by GMAC. The loan was completely repaid by us on January 19, 2006.

On March 1, 2002, Regaluxe also issued Birks a loan for Cdn$823,695, to be repaid in four annual installment of Cdn$205,924, and bearing interest, payable semi-annually, at a rate of 3.55% per annum. The loan was completely repaid on March 1, 2006.

Letter of Credit from Iniziativa S.A.

On May 19, 2005, Iniziativa S.A. issued a $370,279 (Cdn$450,000) letter of credit to Investissement Québec (formerly Financière du Québec) on our behalf. The letter of credit is a required security for our term loan from Investissement Québec (formerly Financière du Québec), bearing interest at an annual rate of prime plus 1.5%, repayable to June 2010 in 84 equal monthly capital repayments of $44,100 (Cdn$53,600), secured by our assets (in addition to the letter of credit). The letter of credit expires on May 19, 2007 and requires renewal on an annual basis during the term of the loan.

Legal Proceedings

We are from time to time involved in litigation incident to the conduct of our business. Although such litigation is routine and incidental, and such litigation can result in large monetary awards for compensatory or punitive damages, we believe that no litigation that is currently pending or threatened will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. On December 1, 2004, Mayors, then a public company, was notified that the SEC was conducting an informal inquiry regarding Mayors. The SEC has requested documents primarily relating to the warrants that Mayors issued to Birks in connection with Birks’ equity investment in Mayors in August 2002. The SEC has not made any further requests of the Company since September of 2005. Birks has fully cooperated with the SEC investigation.

Significant Changes

No significant changes have occurred since the date of the annual financial statements included in this annual report.

Employment Agreements

Thomas A. Andruskevich

Thomas A. Andruskevich is employed by Birks & Mayors, as well as by its subsidiary Mayors. Accordingly, we have two employment agreements with Mr. Andruskevich, one of which is through Mayors.

Effective April 1, 2005, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Andruskevich under which Mr. Andruskevich serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of Birks & Mayors for a term continuing until March 31, 2008, unless terminated in accordance with the agreement. This agreement superseded prior employment agreements with Mr. Andruskevich, the first of which was entered into on May 15, 1996. Under this agreement, Mr. Andruskevich receives an annual base salary and a special net income bonus, which, in both cases, will be adjusted based upon the achievement of certain net income goals by Birks & Mayors in the preceding year. The goals are set forth in our annual profit plan and strategic plan and are approved annually by

43

the Board of Directors. Mr. Andruskevich’s base salary is currently $545,090 and can increase up to $614,000 based on our performance, and the special net income bonus will be up to $150,000. Additionally, Mr. Andruskevich will receive an annual performance bonus based upon the achievement of specific performance criteria, which are set each year by our compensation committee and a shareholder representative. The performance bonus will range from 0% to 150% of his base salary in a given year. Under his employment agreement, Mr. Andruskevich is also entitled to certain benefits such as life insurance, health and dental insurance, moving expenses and other reasonable expenses. Under his employment agreements since May 15, 1996, Mr. Andruskevich has received three separate grants of stock options, each of which is confirmed in his current employment agreement. In 1996, Mr. Andruskevich was given the option to subscribe for a number of our Class A voting shares which, immediately following their issue, would represent 2% of our issued and outstanding shares of capital stock (on a fully diluted basis). The number of shares will be adjusted to represent 2% of the issued and outstanding Class A voting shares, except that any new stock options or other new securities exercisable for, convertible into or exchangeable into capital stock (or shares issued upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof), new restricted stock or other new equity granted or issued following the consummation of the merger, for a compensatory purpose to employees, officers, directors or consultants shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating 2% of our issued and outstanding shares of our capital stock (on a fully diluted basis). In 1998, the option granted in 1996 was substituted for an option on the same terms except that the exercise price of the options was fixed at Cdn$6.00 per share, considered to be the fair market value at that time. Also in 1998, Mr. Andruskevich was given a second option to subscribe for a number of Class A voting shares which, immediately following their issue, would represent 2% of our issued and outstanding shares of capital stock as of January 1, 1999, namely, 126,272 out of a total of 6,313,618 shares then issued and outstanding. The exercise price of these options was fixed at Cdn$6.25 per share, considered to be the fair market value at that time. In 2001, Mr. Andruskevich was given a third option to subscribe for a number of Class A voting shares which, immediately following their issue, would represent 2% of our issued and outstanding shares of capital stock as of April 1, 2002, namely, 126,266 out of a total of 6,313,300 shares then issued and outstanding. The exercise price of these options was fixed at Cdn$7.00 per share, considered to be the fair market value at that time. Mr. Andruskevich agreed that in the event that he exercised his second or third option, he will vote the shares issued pursuant thereto only in accordance with the instructions of Dr. Rossi. Each of the options Mr. Andruskevich received under these agreements is exercisable for a period of twenty-four months after the termination of his employment, which period was extended from three months effective April 1, 2005. Additionally, each option is exercisable for a period of 10 years following retirement.

We may terminate Mr. Andruskevich’s employment agreement with just and sufficient cause for such termination. If we desire not to renew the agreement, we must provide Mr. Andruskevich with notice 12 months prior to the end of the term of the agreement. In the event that the agreement terminates as a result of death or non-renewal of the agreement, Mr. Andruskevich is entitled to the base salary which shall have accrued to the date of such termination, any accrued but unpaid vacation pay, and any special net income bonus and performance bonus earned in connection with each year ending prior to the date of such termination, as well as pro-rated bonuses for the number of months in which services were rendered in the year of the termination. Additionally, after our non-renewal of the agreement, we will continue to pay Mr. Andruskevich his base salary for a period of up to 12 months after the end of his employment should Mr. Andruskevich be unable to find another suitable employment position. If we terminate Mr. Andruskevich’s employment without just and sufficient cause, Mr. Andruskevich will be entitled to compensation and benefits provided under the remainder of the term of the agreement. The agreement prohibits Mr. Andruskevich from competing with us in our business for or on behalf of any entity whose operations are located primarily in Canada for a period of up 12 months following the termination of the agreement by Mr. Andruskevich prior to the expiry of the term or a period terminating on December 31, 2008 following the non-renewal of the agreement by either Mr. Andruskevich or us upon expiry of the term.

Mayors entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Andruskevich, effective October 1, 2002, which agreement was amended on June 24, 2004 and February 1, 2005. Under the amended agreement, Mr. Andruskevich serves as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Mayors, and as President and Chief

44

Executive Officer of Mayors for a term continuing until March 31, 2008, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the agreement. His employment agreement allows him to continue his employment with Birks & Mayors. Under this agreement, Mr. Andruskevich receives an annual base salary from Mayors of $500,000 and has the opportunity to receive an annual cash bonus based upon the achievement of objective performance criteria, which are set each year by the compensation committee and approved by the Board of Directors. Under the amendment Mr. Andruskevich’s base salary was increased to $600,000 on April 1, 2006. The amendment further provides that his target bonus opportunity will increase annually beginning in Mayors fiscal 2005 and that he will receive an additional long-term incentive compensation award. Pursuant to the amendment, Mayors also granted Mr. Andruskevich 1,000,000 stock appreciation rights with an exercise price of $0.54 on August 9, 2005. The amendment allows Mayors to terminate Mr. Andruskevich’s employment with or without cause. In the event Mr. Andruskevich’s employment is terminated without cause or if he resigns for good reason, he will receive his annual base salary and financial planning, health, and dental benefits until March 31, 2008, plus up to an additional 12 months if he is unable to find another suitable employment position. Mr. Andruskevich will also be entitled to a lump sum cash payment equal to the average annual bonus paid to him for any of the 3 fiscal years ending prior to the date of the resignation or termination multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from the date of resignation or termination until the end of the term, and the denominator of which is 365, plus a lump sum cash payment of $24,000 for disability and life insurance. In the event Mr. Andruskevich’s employment terminates as a result of his death, Mr. Andruskevich is entitled to get all the payments he is entitled to if his employment is terminated without cause or if he resigns for good reason as described above except the lump sum cash payment of $24,000 for disability and life insurance. The amendment prohibits Mr. Andruskevich from competing with Mayors in certain markets for a period of twelve months after the termination of the agreement. If Mr. Andruskevich’s employment is terminated without cause or if he resigns for good reason within the two year period following a change of control, Mr. Andruskevich will receive his annual base salary, annual bonus and financial planning, health, and dental benefits for the greater of two years or the unexpired portion of the term plus one year, and Mr. Andruskevich will also be entitled to certain bonus compensation and a lump sum cash payment of $24,000 for disability and life insurance.

EXCHANGE CONTROLS

There are currently no laws, decrees, regulations or other legislation in Canada that restricts the export or import of capital or that affects the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to non-resident holders of our securities other than withholding tax requirements. There is no limitation imposed by Canadian law or by our Articles of Incorporation or our other organizational documents on the right of a non-resident of Canada to hold or vote our Class A voting shares, other than as provided in the North American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act (Canada) and in the Investment Canada Act, as amended by the World Trade Organization Agreement Implementation Act.

The Investment Canada Act requires notification and, in certain cases, advance review and approval by the Government of Canada of the acquisition by a “non-Canadian” of “control of a Canadian business”, all as defined in the Investment Canada Act. Generally, the threshold for review will be higher in monetary terms, and in certain cases an exemption will apply, for an investor ultimately controlled by persons who are nationals of a WTO Member or have the right of permanent residence in relation thereto.

TAXATION

Dividends and Distributions

Subject to the passive foreign investment company (PFIC) rules discussed below, the gross amount of dividends paid to U.S. Holders of our Class A voting shares, including amounts withheld to reflect Canadian withholding taxes, will be treated as dividend income to these U.S. Holders, to the extent paid out of current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. This income will be

45

includable in the gross income of a U.S. Holder on the day actually or constructively received by the U.S. Holder. Dividends generally will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to corporations upon the receipt of dividends distributed by U.S. corporations.

Subject to certain conditions and limitations, Canadian withholding taxes on dividends may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability. For purposes of calculating the foreign tax credit, dividends paid on our Class A voting shares will be treated as income from sources outside the United States and generally will constitute “passive income.” Special rules apply to certain individuals whose foreign source income during the taxable year consists entirely of “qualified passive income” and whose creditable foreign taxes paid or accrued during the taxable year do not exceed $300 ($600 in the case of a joint return). Further, in certain circumstances, a U.S. Holder that (1) has held our Class A voting shares for less than a specified minimum period during which it is not protected from risk of loss, (2) is obligated to make payments related to the dividends with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property or (3) holds our Class A voting shares in arrangements in which the U.S. Holder’s expected economic profit, after non-U.S. taxes, is insubstantial will not be allowed a foreign tax credit for foreign taxes imposed on dividends paid on Class A voting shares.

To the extent that the amount of any distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits for a taxable year, the distribution will first be treated as a tax-free return of capital, causing a reduction in the adjusted basis of our Class A voting shares (thereby increasing the amount of gain, or decreasing the amount of loss, to be recognized by the U.S. Holder on a subsequent disposition of the Class A voting shares), and the balance in excess of adjusted basis will be taxed as capital gain recognized on a sale or exchange. Consequently, under the Code, a distribution in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits would not give rise to foreign source income and a U.S. Holder would not be able to use the foreign tax credit arising from any Canadian withholding tax imposed on that distribution unless that credit can be applied (subject to applicable limitations) against U.S. tax due on other foreign source income in the appropriate category for foreign tax credit purposes. Under the U.S.-Canada income tax treaty, however, the gain may be treated as foreign source income and therefore a different result may be achieved.

With respect to certain U.S. Holders who are not corporations, including individuals, certain dividends received before January 1, 2011 from a qualified foreign corporation may be subject to reduced rates of taxation. A “qualified foreign corporation” includes a foreign corporation that is eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive income tax treaty with the United States which the U.S. Treasury determines to be satisfactory for these purposes and which includes an exchange of information program. U.S. Treasury guidance indicates that the current income tax treaty between Canada and the United States meets these requirements, and we believe it is eligible for the benefits of that treaty. In addition, a foreign corporation is treated as a qualified foreign corporation with respect to dividends received from that corporation on shares that are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. U.S. Treasury guidance indicates that our Class A voting shares, which are expected to be listed on the American Stock Exchange in connection with the merger, would, when so listed, be readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. Individuals that do not meet a minimum holding period requirement during which they are not protected from the risk of loss or that elect to treat the dividend income as “investment income” pursuant to Section 163(d)(4) of the Code will not be eligible for the reduced rates of taxation regardless of the trading status of our Class A voting shares. In addition, the rate reduction will not apply to dividends if the recipient of a dividend is obligated to make related payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property. This disallowance applies even if the minimum holding period has been met. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of these rules given their particular circumstances. The rules governing the foreign tax credit are complex. Certain U.S. Holders of our Class A voting shares may not be able to claim a foreign tax credit with respect to amounts withheld for Canadian withholding taxes. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.

46

Sale or Exchange of Class A Voting Shares

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, subject to the rules relating to PFICs described below, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize taxable gain or loss on any sale or exchange of our Class A voting shares in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized for our Class A voting shares and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in such shares. This gain or loss will be capital gain or loss and generally will be treated as U.S. source gain or loss. Long-term capital gains recognized by certain U.S. Holders who are not corporations, including individuals, generally will be subject to a maximum rate of U.S. federal income tax or 15%. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Passive Foreign Investment Company

We believe that our Class A voting shares should not be treated as stock of a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and we expect to continue our operations in such a manner that it will not be a PFIC. In general, a company is considered a PFIC for any taxable year if either (i) at least 75% of its gross income is passive income or (ii) at least 50% of the value of its assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income. The 50% of value test is based on the average of the value of our assets for each quarter during the taxable year. If we own at least 25% by value of another company’s stock, we will be treated, for purposes of the PFIC rules, as owning our proportionate share of the assets and receiving our proportionate share of income. Based on the nature of our income, assets and activities, and the manner in which we plan to operate our business in future years, we do not expect that we will be classified as a PFIC for any taxable year.

If, however, we are or become a PFIC, U.S. Holders could be subject to additional U.S. federal income taxes on gain recognized with respect to our Class A voting shares and on certain distributions, plus an interest charge on certain taxes treated as having been deferred by the U.S. Holder under the PFIC rules.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

In general, information reporting requirements will apply to dividends in respect of our Class A voting shares or the proceeds received on the sale, exchange, or redemption of our Class A voting shares paid within the United States (and in certain cases, outside of the United States) to U.S. Holders other than certain exempt recipients (such as corporations), and a 28% backup withholding tax may apply to these amounts if the U.S. Holder fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number, to report dividends required to be shown on its U.S. federal income tax returns or, in certain circumstances, to comply with applicable certification requirements. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a U.S. Holder will be allowed as a refund or credit against the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that the required information or appropriate claim for refund is furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.

47

MATERIAL CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR CLASS A VOTING SHARES

The following discussion is a summary of the material Canadian federal income tax considerations under the Income Tax Act (Canada) (referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus as the Canadian Tax Act) of the ownership of our Class A voting shares, generally applicable to holders of our Class A voting shares who, for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act and at all relevant times are resident or deemed residents of the United States and are not and are not deemed to be resident in Canada, hold our Class A voting shares as capital property, deal at arm’s length with Birks and Mayors and who do not use or hold and are not deemed to use Class A voting shares in connection with carrying on business in Canada and for who our Class A voting shares are not “designated insurance property” under the Canadian Tax Act (referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus as Non-resident Holders). This discussion does not apply to a non-resident insurer that carries on business in Canada and elsewhere.

This summary is based upon the current provisions of the Canadian Tax Act, the regulations under the Canadian Tax Act, all specific proposals to amend the Canadian Tax Act and the regulations publicly announced by the Minister of Finance prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus and the current published administrative and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency. This summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any change in law, whether by legislative, governmental or judicial action, nor does it take into account or consider any provincial, territorial or foreign income tax legislation or considerations.

This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to holders of our Class A voting shares. Accordingly, holders of our Class A voting shares should consult their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances.

Dividends on Our Class A Voting Shares

Dividends paid or credited (or deemed to have been paid or credited) on our Class A voting shares to a Non-resident Holder will be subject to non-resident withholding tax under the Canadian Tax Act of 25% of the gross amount of those dividends (subject to reduction in accordance with an applicable international tax treaty between Canada and the Non-resident Holder’s country of residence). Where the Non-resident Holder is a resident of the United States for purposes of the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (1980) (referred to as the Convention), the rate of this withholding tax is (i) 5% if the Non-resident Holder is a company which owns at least 10% of our voting shares and (ii) 15% in all other cases. Under the Convention, dividends paid to certain religious, scientific, literary, educational or charitable organizations and certain pension organizations that are resident in, and generally exempt from taxation by, the United States, are generally exempt from Canadian non-resident withholding tax. Provided that certain administrative procedures are observed by such an organization, Birks & Mayors would not be required to withhold tax from dividends paid or credited to the organization.

Disposition of Our Class A Voting Shares

A Non-resident Holder will not be subject to tax under the Canadian Tax Act in respect of any capital gain realized by that Non-resident Holder on a disposition of a Class A voting share, unless the Class A voting share constitutes “taxable Canadian property” of the Non-resident Holder for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act and the Non-resident Holder is not entitled to relief under the Convention. Provided that, at the time of disposition, the Class A voting shares are listed on a prescribed stock exchange (which includes the American Stock Exchange), the Class A voting shares will generally not constitute taxable Canadian property to a Non-resident Holder unless, at any time during the 60-month period immediately preceding the disposition of the Class A voting shares, the holder, persons with whom the holder does not deal at arm’s length or the holder together with those persons, owns not less than 25% of the issued shares of any class or any series of shares of our capital stock. A Non-resident Holder who disposes of our Class A voting shares that are taxable Canadian property will be required to fulfill the requirements of Section 116 of the Canadian Tax Act unless such shares are listed on a prescribed stock exchange (which includes the American Stock Exchange) at the time of the disposition.

Even if our Class A voting shares are taxable Canadian property to a Non-resident Holder, the Convention will generally exempt a Non-resident Holder who is a resident of the United States for purposes of the Convention from tax under the Canadian Tax Act on any capital gain arising on the disposition of a Class A voting share unless the value of the Class A voting shares at the time of disposition is derived principally from real property situated in Canada.

Item 11. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to various market risks. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market prices and rates. We do not enter into derivative or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Interest rate risk

Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. Borrowing under the working capital credit facility, the term loan from La Financiere du Quebec and the non-revolving demand loan from Bank of Montreal, bear interest at floating rates. As of March 26, 2005, we had approximately $78.6 million of floating-rate debt. Accordingly, our net income will be affected by changes in interest rates. Assuming a 1% increase in the interest rate under our floating rate debt, our interest expense for the 52 weeks ended March 25, 2006 would have increased by approximately $0.8 million.

Currency Risk

While we report our financial results in U.S. dollars, a substantial portion of our sales are earned in Canadian dollars. For our operations located in Canada, non-Canadian currency transactions and assets and liabilities subject us to foreign currency risk. Conversely, for the operations located in the United States, non-U.S. currency transactions and assets and liabilities subject us to foreign currency risk. For purposes of our financial reporting, our financial statements are reported in U.S. dollars by translating, where necessary, net sales and expenses from Canadian dollars at the average exchange rates prevailing during the period, while assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates, with the effect of such translation recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. As a result, for purposes of our financial reporting, foreign exchange gains or losses recorded in earnings relate to non-Canadian dollar transactions of the operations located in Canada and non-U.S. dollar transactions of the operations located in the United States. We expect to continue to report our financial results in U.S. dollars in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Consequently, our reported earnings could fluctuate materially as a result of foreign exchange translation gains or losses. To mitigate the impact of foreign exchange volatility on its earnings, from time to time we may enter into agreements to fix the exchange rate of U.S. dollars to Canadian dollars. For example, we may enter into agreements to fix the exchange rate to protect the principal and interest payments on its Canadian dollar denominated debt and other liabilities. If we do so, we will not benefit from any increase in the value of the Canadian dollar compared to the U.S. dollar when these payments become due.

Commodity Risk

The nature of our operations results in exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices, specifically gold. We monitor and, when appropriate, utilize derivative financial instruments and physical delivery contracts to hedge our exposure to risks related to the change in gold price. We are exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counter-parties to the financial instruments. In addition, if gold prices decrease below those levels specified in our various hedging agreements, we would lose the value of a decline in the price of gold. At March 25, 2006, March 26, 2005 and March 27, 2004 our hedging had resulted in an unrealized gain of approximately $0, $15,740 and $40,690 respectively for outstanding contracts due to strong gold prices. However, such gains may not be realized in future periods and our hedging activities may result in losses, which could be material. For accounting purposes, the hedging agreements do not qualify to be treated as accounting hedges and, accordingly, are marked to market at the end of every quarter.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors

Birks & Mayors Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Birks & Mayors Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 25, 2006 and March 26, 2005 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for the years ended March 25, 2006, March 26, 2005 and March 27, 2004. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Birks & Mayors Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 25, 2006 and March 26, 2005 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended March 25, 2006, March 26, 2005 and March 27, 2004 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

BIRKS & MAYORS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Years ended March 25, 2006, March 26, 2005 and March 27, 2004

Birks & Mayors Inc. (“Birks & Mayors”) (formerly Henry Birks & Sons Inc. (“Birks”)) or (the “Company”) is incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act. The principal business activities of the Company and its subsidiaries are the manufacture and retail sale of luxury jewelry, timepieces and giftware. The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using a fiscal year which consists of 52 or 53 weeks and ends on the last Saturday in March of each year. The fiscal years ended March 25, 2006, March 26, 2005 and March 27, 2004 include fifty-two weeks.

1. | Basis of presentation:

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Canadian parent company (Birks & Mayors) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Henry Birks & Sons U.S. Inc., and Mayor’s Jewelers, Inc. (“Mayors”), are prepared in U.S. dollars and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and related notes. The most significant estimates include valuation of inventories and accounts receivable, provisions for income taxes, and the recoverability of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Periodically, the Company reviews all significant estimates and assumptions affecting the financial statements relative to current conditions and records the effect of any necessary adjustments. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include certain reclassifications of prior period amounts in order to conform with current year presentation.

2. | Acquisition of subsidiary:

In August 2002, the Company invested $15.1 million to acquire approximately 72% of the voting control in Mayors and received 15,050 of Series A convertible preferred stock and 37,273,787 of warrants to purchase common stock of Mayors. On November 6, 2003, the Company exercised 32,523,787 of the warrants on a cashless basis based on an average market price of $0.77, as defined in the warrant agreements. The exercise of the cashless feature resulted in the acquisition of 17,352,997 shares of common stock and the forfeiture of 15,170,790 warrants. As a result of this transaction, the Company acquired an additional 5.6% voting interest in Mayors common stock increasing its voting control to 77.5% which it accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. This also increased its equity interest to 46.9%. The fair value of the consideration paid of $13,292,000 was determined based on the market price of the shares received by Birks.

In February 2004, the Company negotiated the early payment of the cumulative dividends on the Series A preferred stock of Mayors earned by the Company through February 28, 2004, resulting in intercompany dividend income to the Company of $1,880,000, net of certain incremental costs incurred by Mayors, but paid for by the Company, related to its early dividend payment. These costs of $338,000 are included in other items in the consolidated statement of operations. The dividend income has been eliminated on consolidation, which resulted in increasing the minority interest in loss of subsidiary in the prior years by approximately $511,000 for the year ended March 26, 2005 and $874,000 for the year ended March 27, 2004. As a concession for the early dividend payment, the Company agreed to reduce its entitlement to all future dividends from $95 per share to $80 per share and to waive the dividend for one year on the preferred stock. To effect the transaction, the Company exchanged its shares of Series A preferred stock of Mayors to a newly created Series A-1 convertible preferred stock (Series A-1 preferred) of Mayors which are substantially identical to the Series A preferred with the exception of certain changes, primarily related to the provisions regarding the payment of dividends, future dividend rates and the conversion rate.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued

Years ended March 25, 2006, March 26, 2005 and March 27, 2004

On March 22, 2004, the Company sold 1,000,000 shares of Mayors common stock at $0.50 per share in a private placement sale to the spouse of one of Mayors Directors. The sale of stock resulted in non-cash compensation expense of $200,000, which represented the difference between the market value of the stock and the selling price at the date of the sale and was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in 2004. Additionally, the sale of stock resulted in a loss of $176,000 which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses and decreased the Company’s voting control of Mayors by 1.2%.

On June 15, 2004, Birks sold 500,000 and 250,000 shares of Mayors common stock to one of the Company’s directors and a consultant of Birks, who later became an employee of Birks, respectively, for $0.50 per share in a private placement sale. The sale of the 750,000 shares of common stock resulted in non-cash compensation expense of $135,000, recorded by Mayors which represented the difference between the market value of the stock and the selling price at the date of the sale, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the 2005 consolidated statement of operations. Additionally, the sale of stock resulted in a gain of $232,000 which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses and decreased the Company’s voting control of Mayors by 0.8%.

At March 26, 2005, the Series A-1 preferred of Mayors were convertible into 51,499,525 shares of common stock of Mayors which amount included adjustments for the anti-dilution provision of the Series A-1 preferred. If the preferred stock of Mayors would have been converted to common stock on March 26, 2005, Birks & Mayors would have owned approximately 75.8% of the outstanding common stock of Mayors.

On November 14, 2005, the Company acquired the remaining minority shares of Mayors, representing approximately 24.2% of Mayors outstanding shares through the issuance of 1,866,000 of the Company’s Class A common stock with an allocated fair value of $12.3 million and $1.7 million of acquisition costs. The Company also recorded an additional $132,000 of purchased value related to the acquisition associated with the Company’s exchange of outstanding stock options, warrants and stock appreciation rights (SARs) both vested and unvested with the same type of equity based awards of the Company. In accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” the Company applied the purchase method of accounting to record this transaction. As a result of cumulative losses which eliminated the value of minority interests associated with Mayors, $727,000 of the purchase price was allocated to trade name with the remaining $13.4 million of purchase price being allocated to goodwill.

3. | Significant accounting policies:

(a) | Revenue recognition:

Sales are recognized at the point of sale when merchandise is taken or shipped to a customer. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are included in net sales. Revenues for gift certificate sales and store credits are recognized upon redemption. Prior to recognition as a sale, gift certificates are recorded as accrued liabilities on the balance sheet. Certificates outstanding for more than 24 months and not subject to unclaimed property laws are recorded as income. Certificates outstanding for more than 24 months and subject to unclaimed property laws are maintained as accrued liabilities until remitted in accordance with local ordinances. Sales of consignment merchandise are recognized at such time as the merchandise is sold and are recorded on a gross basis because the Company is the primary obligor of the transaction, has general latitude on setting the price, has discretion as to the suppliers, is involved in the selection of the product and has inventory loss risk. Sales are reported net of returns. The Company generally gives its customers the

right to return merchandise purchased by them from 10 to 30 days and records a provision at the time of sale for the effect of the estimated returns. Revenues for repair services are recognized when the service is delivered to and accepted by the customer.

(b) | Cost of sales:

Cost of sales includes direct inbound freight, direct labor related to repair services, design and creative, the jewelry studio, inventory shrink, inventory thefts, and boxes (jewelry, watch and giftware). Indirect freight including inter-store transfers, purchasing and receiving costs, distribution costs, warehousing costs and quality control costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Purchase discounts are recorded as a reduction of inventory cost and are recorded to cost of sales as the items are sold. Mark down dollars received from vendors are recorded as a reduction of inventory costs to the specific items to which they apply and are recognized in cost of sales once the items are sold. Other vendor allowances, primarily related to the achievement of certain milestones, are infrequent and insignificant and are recognized upon achievement of the specified milestone in cost of sales. Included in cost of sales is depreciation related to manufacturing machinery, equipment and facilities of $585,000, $440,000 and $307,000 for the years ended March 25, 2006, March 26, 2005 and March 27, 2004, respectively.

(c) | Cash and cash equivalents:

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less and amounts receivable from external credit card issuers to be cash equivalents. Amounts receivable from credit card issuers are included in cash and cash equivalents and are typically converted to cash within 2 to 4 days of the original sales transaction. These amounts totaled $1.6 million at March 25, 2006 and March 26, 2005.

(d) | Accounts receivable:

Accounts receivable arise primarily from customers’ use of the Mayors credit card and sales to Birks & Mayors corporate customers. Several installment sales plans are offered to the Mayors credit card holders which vary as to repayment terms and finance charges assessed. Finance charges, when applicable, accrue at rates ranging from 9.9% to 18% per annum. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments.

(e) | Inventories:

Retail inventories and inventories of raw materials are valued at the lower of average cost or net realizable value. Inventories of work in progress and Company manufactured finished goods are valued at the lower of average cost (which includes material, labor and overhead costs) or net realizable value. The Company records provisions for lower of cost or market, damaged goods, and slow-moving inventory. The cost of inbound freight is included in the carrying value of the inventories.

(f) | Property and equipment:

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to selling, general and administrative expenses as incurred, while expenditures for major renewals and improvements are capitalized. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Asset |  | Period
Buildings |  | 20 years
Leasehold improvements |  | Lesser of term of the lease or the useful life of assets
Software and electronic equipment |  | 3 - 10 years
Molds |  | 5 - 20 years
Furniture and fixtures |  | 5 - 8 years
Equipment and vehicles |  | 3 - 8 years

(g) | Goodwill and intangible assets:

Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company has selected the Company’s fiscal year-end as the measurement date for the impairment test, which was performed and the goodwill amount was not considered impaired. Goodwill was $29.1 million and $15.5 million at March 25, 2006 and March 26, 2005, respectively, all of which was allocated to the Company’s retail segment.

Trademarks and the fair value attributable to Mayors trade name are being amortized using the straight-line method over a period of 15 to 20 years. The Company had $1.1 million and $262,000, respectively, of unamortized intangible assets at March 25, 2006 and March 26, 2005. The Company had $87,000 and $35,000 of accumulated amortization of intangibles at March 25, 2006 and March 26, 2005, respectively.

(h) | Deferred financing costs:

The Company amortizes deferred financing costs incurred in connection with its financing agreements using the effective interest method over the related period of the financing. Such deferred costs are included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

(i) | Warranty accrual:

The Company generally warranties its jewelry and watches for periods extending up to three years and has a battery replacement policy for its private label watches. The Company accrues a liability based on its historical repair costs for such warranties.

(j) | Income taxes:

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under SFAS 109, deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of (a) temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial statement reporting purposes and the bases for income tax purposes, and (b) operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred income tax assets are evaluated and, if realization is not considered to be more likely than not, a valuation allowance is provided.

(k) | Foreign exchange:

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Other balance sheet items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the respective transaction dates. Revenue and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated at average rates prevailing during the year. Gains on foreign exchange of $308,000, $176,000 and $503,000 are recorded in cost of goods sold, and $172,000, $401,000 and $552,000 are recorded in interest and other financial costs for the years ended March 25, 2006, March 26, 2005 and March 27, 2004, respectively.

Birks & Mayors’ Canadian operations’ functional currency is the Canadian dollar while the reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The assets and liabilities denominated in Canadian dollars are translated for reporting purposes at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet dates. Revenue and expense items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the periods. The resulting gains and losses are accumulated in other comprehensive income.

(l) | Accounting for stock-based compensation:

The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related interpretations in accounting for its stock-based compensation plans. Accordingly, compensation expense has been recognized for such plans where variable accounting applies. Had compensation expense for the Company’s stock-based compensation plans been determined using the fair value method described in SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS No. 148 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure, the Company’s net income (loss) would have been increased or reduced to the proforma amounts presented below for the years ended:

The fair value of options granted under the Birks employee stock option plan were estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following weighted average assumptions were utilized for valuing options issued under the Birks employee stock option plan for the years ended March 25, 2006 and March 26, 2005: expected volatility of 54% and 59%, respectively, risk-free interest rate of 3.98% and 3.74%, respectively, and expected lives of 6 years and a dividend yield of zero for both years. The weighted average fair values of options granted during the year ended March 25, 2006 and March 26, 2005 from this plan were $3.56 and $3.32, respectively. No options were granted from this program in the year ended March 27, 2004.

The following weighted average assumptions were used to value stock option grants in the years ended March 26, 2005 and March 27, 2004 under the Mayors plan: expected volatility of 94% and 97%, respectively; risk-free interest rate of 3.61% and 2.80%, respectively; expected lives of approximately five years and a dividend yield of zero for both years. The weighted average fair values of awards granted during the years ended March 26, 2005 and March 27, 2004 were $5.17 and $5.87, respectively. The weighted average fair values have been adjusted to reflect the exchange rate of 0.08695 used for Birks & Mayors purchase of the minority shares of Mayors in November 2005. No options were granted from this program during the year ended March 25, 2006.

The fair value of warrants and SARs granted under the Mayors plan were estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The weighted average assumptions used to value the warrants and SARs issued during the year ended March 25, 2006 were as follows: expected volatility 54.64%; risk-free interest rate 3.94%; expected lives of 6 years and a dividend yield of zero. The weighted average fair value of the warrants and SARs issued during the year were $4.26 and $3.55, respectively.

(m) | Long-lived assets:

Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Measurement of an impairment loss for such long-lived assets is based on the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

(n) | Advertising costs:

Advertising costs are generally charged to expense as incurred. However, certain expenses such as those related to catalogs are expensed at the time such catalogs are shipped to recipients. The Company and its vendors participate in cooperative advertising programs in which the vendors reimburse the Company for a portion of certain specific advertising costs which are netted against advertising expense in selling, general and administrative expenses and amounted to $3.2 million, $3.3 million and $2.8 million in the years ended March 25, 2006, March 26, 2005 and March 27, 2004, respectively. Advertising expense, net of vendor cooperative advertising allowances, amounted to $10.7 million, $9.1 million and $10.0 million in the years ended March 25, 2006, March 26, 2005 and March 27, 2004, respectively.

(o) | Pre-opening expenses:

Pre-opening expenses related to the opening of new and relocated stores are expensed as incurred.

(p) | Comprehensive income (loss):

Comprehensive income (loss) includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners.

(q) | Operating leases:

All material lessor incentive amounts on operating leases are deferred and amortized as a reduction of rent expense over the term of the lease. Rent expense is recorded on a straight-line basis, which takes into effect any rent escalations, rent holidays and fixturing periods. Lease terms are from the inception of the fixturing period until the end of the initial lease term and generally exclude renewal periods.

(r) | Earnings per common share:

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the years ended March 25, 2006, March 26, 2005 and March 27, 2004:

antidilutive effect. In addition, for the year ended March 27, 2004, the dilutive impact from the conversion of preferred stock into 1.0 million shares of common stock and the conversion of convertible notes into 1.0 million shares of common stock was not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common shares as such amounts would have had an antidilutive effect.

(s) | Commodity and currency risk:

The Company has exposure to market risk related to gold, silver, platinum and diamond purchases and foreign exchange risk. The Company periodically enters into gold futures contracts and foreign exchange forward contracts to economically hedge a portion of these risks. The Company has elected not to apply hedge accounting and, therefore, the contracts have been market to market each period, with changes recorded in the statement of operations. At March 25, 2006, there were no contracts outstanding.

(t) | Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In October 2005, the FASB issued Staff Position (“FSP”) No FAS 13-1, Accounting for Rental Costs Incurred during a Construction Period, which requires that rental costs associated with ground or building operating leases incurred during a construction period be recognized as rental expense and included in income from continuing operations. FSP No FAS 13-1 is effective for the Company as of its fiscal year beginning March 26, 2006. The adoption of FSP No FAS 13-1 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payments, which addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. SFAS No. 123(R) requires an entity to recognize the grant-date fair-value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees in the income statement. SFAS No. 123(R) generally requires that an entity account for those transactions using the fair-value-based method, and eliminates an entity’s ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method of accounting in APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, which was permitted under SFAS No. 123, as originally issued. SFAS No. 123(R) is effective for the Company as of its fiscal year beginning March 26, 2006. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) should not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs, to amend the guidance in Chapter 4, Inventory Pricing, of FASB Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, Restatement and Revision of Accounting Research Bulletins. SFAS No. 151 clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). SFAS No. 151 requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges. Additionally, SFAS No. 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS No. 151 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Non-Monetary Assets—an Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, to address the accounting for non-monetary exchanges of productive

F-14

BIRKS & MAYORS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued

Years ended March 25, 2006, March 26, 2005 and March 27, 2004

assets. SFAS No. 153 amends APB No. 29, Accounting for Non-Monetary Exchanges, which established a narrow exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets from fair value measurement. SFAS No. 153 eliminates that exception and replaces it with an exception for exchanges that do not have commercial substance. Under SFAS No. 153 non-monetary exchanges are required to be accounted for at fair value, recognizing any gains or losses, if the fair value is determinable within reasonable limits and the transaction has commercial substance. It specifies that a non-monetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS No. 153 is effective prospectively for non-monetary asset exchange transactions in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 153 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47 (“FIN 47”), Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligation, to clarify that an entity must recognize a liability for fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liability’s fair value can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 also defines when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. FIN 47 became effective for the Company for fiscal year ended March 25, 2006. Retrospective application of interim financial information is permitted but is not required. The adoption of FIN 47 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections—a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. SFAS 154 replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principles, unless it is impracticable to do so, in which case other alternatives are required. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 154 will have on its financial position or results of operations.

Availability under the working capital credit facility is determined based upon a percentage formula applied to certain inventory, accounts receivable and other assets and has certain restrictions regarding borrowing availability. This percentage formula relating to inventory will be adjusted concurrently with the repayment of the junior secured term loan in order to facilitate the repayment of such loan.

The working capital credit facility has certain financial covenants, which are tested only at certain net excess borrowing capacity thresholds. As at March 25, 2006, the Company did not need to test the financial covenants. The working capital credit facility also contains limitations on the Company’s ability to pay dividends. Under the terms of the facility, the Company can only pay dividends at certain excess borrowing capacity thresholds and the aggregate dividend payment for the twelve month period ended as of any fiscal quarter cannot exceed 33% of the consolidated net income for such twelve month period.

The interest rate under the working capital facility at March 25, 2006 was 5.9%. The junior secured term loan bears an effective interest rate of 12.75%.

At March 25, 2006 the Company had excess borrowing capacity of $24.1 million.

11. | Benefit plans and stock-based compensation:

(a) | Stock option plans and arrangements:

| (i) | In 2006, Birks & Mayors adopted a Long-Term Incentive Plan to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility, to provide additional incentive to employees and to promote the success of Birks & Mayors. Any employee or consultant selected by the administrator is eligible for any type of award provided for under the Long-Term Incentive Plan, except that incentive stock options may not be granted to consultants. The Long-Term Incentive Plan provides for the grant of units and performance unit or share awards. The Long-Term Incentive Plan authorizes the issuance of 900,000 Class A voting shares, which will consist of authorized but unissued Class A voting shares. The Company is restricted from issuing Class A voting shares or equity based awards under this program if such issuance, when combined with the Class A voting shares issuable under this plan or any of the Company’s other equity incentive award plans exceeds 1,304,025 Class A voting shares without the approval of the shareholders of the Company. Cash settled awards however are permitted. No awards have been granted under this program during the year ended March 25, 2006.

The Company has outstanding employee stock options issued under the Birks Employee Stock Option Plan (the “Birks ESOP”). This plan was authorized to issue 237,907 shares or 10% of non-voting common stock for issuance under this plan. The granting of options, the price and the related vesting period were at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The life of the options issued under this plan were not to exceed 10 years with options vesting generally pro-rata over four years. Effective November 15, 2005, no awards are permitted to be granted under the Birks ESOP. However, the Birks ESOP will remain in effect until the outstanding awards thereunder terminate or expire by their terms. At March 25, 2006 there were 162,837 Class A voting shares underlying options granted under the Birks ESOP.

| (ii) | The Company has also entered into separate agreements to issue options to purchase 439,532 shares of common stock (not specifically defined) of the Company to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and 143,339 non-voting common shares to a director of the Company and a director of the parent company. The options are at prices ranging from CAN$6.00 to CAN$7.00 per share. As a result of antidilution provisions associated with some of the options issued to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, the number of Class A voting shares of common stock eligible to be purchased under stock options by the Chief Executive Officer increased by approximately 74,096 during the year ended March 25, 2006 with an exercise price of CAN$6.00. At March 26, 2005, all these options are exercisable and expire over a period of ten years from the grant date. The life of the options issued to a director of the Company and a director of the parent company are not permitted to exceed a period of three months after service terminates, except in certain specific situations. The options issued to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer were modified, effective April 1, 2005, to extend the post-termination exercise period from the original three months to two years or 10 years after retirement. Compensation income of $731,000 associated with these awards was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended March 25, 2006 and $495,565 and $2,857 of expense was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses for the years ended March 26, 2005 and March 27, 2004, respectively.

| (iii) | On April 23, 2004, the Company granted to members of its Board of Directors in lieu of directors fees and committee attendance fees, 25,000 options to acquire non-voting common stock of the Company for a purchase price of CAN$7.73 exercisable at any time to April 23, 2014. One director waived the options and subsequently resigned. Compensation income of $31,000 was recorded for the year ended

| (iv) | The Company has outstanding employee stock options and SARs issued to employees and members of the Board of Directors of Mayors under the 1991 Stock Option Plan and the Long-Term Incentive Plan approved by the former Board of Directors of Mayors. Under these plans, the option price was required to equal the market price of the stock on the date of the grant or in the case of an individual who owned 10% or more of the common stock of Mayors, the minimum price was to be set at 110% of the market price at the time of issuance. Options granted under these programs generally became exercisable from six months to three years after the date of grant, provided that the individual was continuously employed by Mayor’s, or in the case of directors, remained on the Board of Directors. All options generally expired no more than ten years after the date of grant. Outstanding options under these programs were replaced by options issued by the Company as part of the Company’s acquisition of the minority shares of Mayors in November 2005 at an exchange rate equivalent to those offered to outstanding shareholders. This resulted in a new measurement date for approximately 248,261 stock options and the Company recorded an expense of $693,000. Effective November 15, 2005, no further awards will be granted under these plans. However, these plans will remain effective until the outstanding awards thereunder terminate or expire by their terms. At March 25, 2006, there were 370,000 of Class A voting stock underlying options granted under this plan.

During the year ended March 25, 2006, 113,034 of SARs were granted under these plans to the Company’s chief executive officer and other members of senior management. The SARs entitle the grantee the right to receive the value of the appreciation in the market value of the Company’s stock over the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant of the SARs. The grantees’ interests in the SARs generally vest ratably over a 3 year period and expire 10 years after grant. At March 25, 2006, there were 113,034 of SARs outstanding. While these awards were considered variable awards, no expense was recognized related to these awards as the underlying stock of the company was lower than the strike price of the SARs. The following is a summary of the activity of Mayors stock option plans. The number of options and exercise price in the table below have been adjusted to reflect the conversion rate of .08695 related to Birks & Mayors purchase of the minority shares of Mayors on November 14, 2005:

(b) | The Company has issued warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s stock. During the year ended March 25, 2006, the company issued 10,935 of additional warrants. On May 26, 2005, Mayors purchased 43,595 of these warrants, adjusted to reflect the merger exchange of .08695, from one of the holders for $150,000, the estimated fair value. The right to receive these warrants is contingent upon fulfillment of certain time-based employment vesting requirements. The exercise price of the warrants was $3.45 per share. The warrants granted to employees are subject to variable accounting due to their cashless exercise feature, which requires compensation expense (credit) calculated as the increase or decrease in intrinsic value of the warrants, to the extent vested, based on the change in market value of the underlying Birks & Mayors common stock. Non-cash compensation expense (credit) included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended March 25, 2006, March 26, 2005 and March 27, 2004 related to these warrants was approximately $(487,454), ($60,200) and, $1,541,700. At March 25, 2006, the number of warrants was 382,722 all of which were vested, and the exercise price was $3.34.

On November 14, 2005, the amount of options were increased to 99,428 with the option price for these options adjusted to $3.87 (CAN$4.52) per share. At March 25, 2006, each option had a fair value of $3.61 (CAN$4.21) for a total value of $359,000 (CAN$419,000). Total expense associated with these options and recorded in interest on long-term debt for the years ended March 25, 2006, March 26, 2005 and March 27, 2004 was $70,328, $70,140 and $39,500, respectively.

(d) | The Company has granted to a lending institution the option to purchase approximately 11,896 shares of common stock of the Company (adjusted so as to equal 0.50% of all then issued and outstanding shares of all classes and categories in the Company’s share capital) for the purchase price of CAN$1.00 per share, to a maximum of CAN$12,000, exercisable by the lending institution prior to April 30, 2008.

| On March 14, 2005, the option agreement was amended whereby this lending institution received from the Company 46,845 options to acquire common stock of the Company for a purchase price of CAN$0.26 per share, exercisable at any time on or prior to April 30, 2008 and the original option was cancelled. The fair value of the options resulted in compensation expense of $342,483, included in interest and other financial costs for the year ended March 26, 2005.

(e) | Employee stock purchase plan:

In February 2006, Birks & Mayors adopted an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”).

A total of 100,000 shares of the Company’s Class A voting shares are reserved for issuance under the ESPP. As of March 25, 2006, no shares have been issued under this plan.

Prior to the November purchase by Birks & Mayors of the remaining minority shares of Mayors, Mayors had an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), which permitted eligible employees, not including executives of Mayors, to purchase common stock from Mayors at 85% of its fair market value through regular payroll deductions. This plan was cancelled as of November 14, 2005. Prior to that time

Due to Section 382 limitations from the change in ownership for the year ended March 29, 2003, the utilization of approximately $41.3 million of the pre-acquisition net operating loss carry forward is limited to $953,490 on an annual basis, resulting in a valuation allowance of approximately $23 million for pre-acquisition net operating loss carry forwards that will more than likely not be realized. The federal net operating loss carry forward expires beginning in fiscal 2009 through fiscal 2025 and the state net operating loss carry forward expires beginning in fiscal 2008 through fiscal 2025. Mayors also has an alternative minimum tax credit carry forward of approximately $0.8 million to offset future federal income taxes.

(d) | Henry Birks & Sons U.S. Inc. has non-capital losses totaling $635,103 at March 25, 2006 which will expire between 2020 and 2023.

13. | Capital stock:

(a) | On November 14, 2005, the Company issued 1,866,109 of Class A voting shares to the minority shareholders of Mayors in exchange for all their outstanding common shares on a 0.08695 for 1 basis. In addition, the Company converted outstanding Series A preferred shares into Class A voting shares on a 1 for 1.01166 basis and issued 512,015 of Class A common stock and 504,876 of Class B common stock to convert a $2.5 million convertible note issued to a preferred shareholder and a $2.5 million of convertible note issued to Regaluxe Investment S.à.r.l, respectively.

(b) | In March 2005, the Company merged with its parent, Henry Birks & Sons Holdings Inc., and reorganized such that the Company became the surviving entity. The consolidated financial statements reflect the merger as if it occurred prior to the beginning of March 30, 2003. The impact of the merger was not significant. In conjunction with this merger, the Company amended its articles of incorporation and created three new classes of common stock; Class A, Class B and Class C. The Class B common stock has substantially the same rights as the Class A common stock except that each share of Class B common stock receives 10 votes per share. The Class C common shares receive 100 votes per share. Upon the creation of these new classes of common stock, the Company converted all common stock outstanding into Class A voting shares

Regaluxe Investments S.à.r.l. and Montrolux S.A. subscribed for Class C shares and transferred their respective Class A shares of Henry Birks and Sons Holdings Inc. to the Company for consideration equal to Class B multiple voting shares. In March 2005, the Company amended its Series A preferred share conversion feature to provide for the conversion of these preferred shares into Class A common stock on a 1 for 1.01166 basis rounded to the nearest whole number. The conversion feature of the convertible notes was also amended to provide for conversion into Class A voting and Class B multiple voting shares instead of common shares. The Company then cancelled all Class A voting shares as well as the Series A preferred shares held by Henry Birks and Sons Holdings Inc. and by a member of management and cancelled the Class C shares held by Regaluxe Investment S.à.r.l. and Montrolux S.A.

14. | Commitments:

Operating leases:

The Company leases all of its retail stores under operating leases with the exception of one Birks & Mayors location. The rental costs are based on minimum annual rentals and a percentage of sales. Such percentage of sales varies by location. In addition, most leases are subject to annual adjustment for increases in real estate taxes and common area maintenance costs.

Future minimum lease payments for the next five years and thereafter are as follows (in thousands):

Year ending March: |  |  |
2007 |  | $ | 12,858
2008 |  |  | 12,141
2009 |  |  | 9,953
2010 |  |  | 7,724
2011 |  |  | 5,837
Thereafter |  |  | 14,989
|  | $ | 63,502

Rent expense for the Company was approximately $20.8 million, including $1.1 million of contingent rent for the year ended March 25, 2006, $19.0 million, including $1.0 million of contingent rent for the year ended March 26, 2005 and $17.4 million, including $0.8 million of contingent rent for the year ended March 27, 2004.

15. | Contingencies:

(a) | The Company and its subsidiaries, in the normal course of business, become involved from time to time in litigation and claims. While the final outcome with respect to claims and legal proceedings pending at March 25, 2006 cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that adequate provisions have been recorded in the accounts where required and that the financial impact, if any, from claims related to normal business activities will not be material.

(b) | From time to time, the Company guarantees a portion of its private label credit card sales to its credit card vendor. At March 25, 2006, the amount guaranteed under such arrangements is approximately $2.0 million. The bad debt experience under these guarantees has been minimal and it is not probable that the Company will be required to make significant payments under these guarantees.

(c) | The Company and its subsidiary have employment agreements with the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer for a term continuing until March 31, 2008, unless terminated in accordance with the agreement. The contractual obligation under these agreements aggregated to between $4.7 million and $7.9 million at March 25, 2006.

(d) | On December 1, 2004, Mayors was notified that the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) was conducting an informal inquiry regarding Mayors. The SEC has requested documents primarily relating to the warrants that Mayors issued to the Company in connection with the Company’s equity investment in Mayors in August 2002. The SEC has not made any further requests of Mayors since September of 2005. The Company has fully cooperated with the SEC investigation.

16. | Segmented information:

The Company has two reportable segments: Retail and Other. Retail operates 39 stores across Canada under the Birks brand, and 28 stores in the Southeast U.S. under the Mayors brand. Other includes Corporate sales and Manufacturing operations. Corporate sales provide companies with corporate gifts for employees. The manufacturing operations manufacture jewelry and other products for the retail segment.

The two segments are managed and evaluated separately based on gross profit. The accounting policies used for each of the segments are the same as those used for the consolidated financial statements. Inter-segment sales are made at amounts of consideration agreed upon between the two segments.

fair value amounts have been determined by the Company, using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data and/or estimation methodologies which may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

The Company has determined that the carrying value of its accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates fair values as at the balance sheet date because of the short-term maturity of those instruments. For bank indebtedness bearing interest at variable rates, the fair value is considered to approximate the carrying value.

The fair value of the long-term debt approximates their carrying value. The fair value was calculated using the present value of future payments of principal and interest discounted at the current market rates of interest available to the Company for the same or similar debt instruments with the same remaining maturities.
