</I></B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our business depends on consumer demand for our products and, consequently, is sensitive to a number of factors that influence
consumer spending, including general economic conditions, disposable consumer income, fuel prices, recession and fears of recession, war and fears of war, inclement weather, consumer debt, conditions in the housing market, interest rates, sales tax
rates and rate increases, inflation, consumer confidence in future economic conditions and political conditions, and consumer perceptions of personal well-being and security. In particular, an economic downturn leads to decreased discretionary
spending, which adversely impacts the luxury retail business. Jewelry purchases are discretionary for consumers and may be particularly and disproportionately affected by adverse trends in the general economy and the equity markets. Adverse changes
in factors affecting discretionary consumer spending could reduce consumer demand for our products, thus reducing our sales and harming our business and operating results. 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 an increase in interest rates, fewer people may use or be approved for credit which could result in a reduction in
net sales and an unfavorable impact on our overall profitability. Our belief that we currently have sufficient liquidity to fund our operations is based on certain assumptions about the state of the economy, the availability of borrowings to fund
our operations and our operating performance relative to prior fiscal periods. To the extent that the economy and other conditions affecting our business are worse than we anticipate, we may not achieve our projected level of financial performance
and we may determine that we do not have sufficient capital to fund our operations. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>We may require additional financing or capital, which may not be
available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Capital raised through the sale or issuance of equity securities may result in dilution to our shareholders. Failure to obtain such additional financing or capital could have an adverse impact
on our liquidity and financial condition. </I></B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Recently, the general economic and capital market conditions in the United States and
other parts of the world have deteriorated significantly and have adversely affected access to and the cost of capital.&nbsp;There is a possibility that our existing cash, cash generated from operations and funds available under our credit
agreements&nbsp;could be&nbsp;insufficient to fund our future operations, including capital expenditures, or to repay debt when it becomes due,&nbsp;and as a result, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt
financing, including funding from governmental sources which may not be possible. The sale of additional equity securities could result in significant dilution to our shareholders, and the securities issued in future financings may have rights,
preferences and privileges that are senior to those of our common stock. The incurrence of additional indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that may restrict our
operations. Financing may be unavailable in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all, which could have a&nbsp;material adverse impact on our business, including our ability to continue as a going concern. </FONT></P> <P

Conversely, for the operations located in the U.S., non-U.S. currency transactions and assets and liabilities subject us to foreign currency risk. Material fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates resulting in a weakening of the Canadian
dollar could significantly reduce our borrowing availability under our secured revolving credit facility which is denominated in U.S. dollars and limit our ability to finance our operations. 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 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

the Company to their parent company, Montrovest. Following the 1993 acquisition of Birks, Birks&#146; operations were evaluated and a program of returning Birks to its historic core strength as the leading Canadian luxury jeweler was initiated.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">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 was incurring significant losses. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">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&nbsp;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 director&#146;s inefficiencies with managing intercompany issues, and possibly increase shareholder liquidity. Upon the consummation
of the merger on November&nbsp;14, 2005, each outstanding share of Mayors common stock not then owned by Birks was converted into 0.08695 Class&nbsp;A voting shares of Birks. As a result of the merger, Mayors common stock ceased trading on the
American Stock Exchange (&#147;AMEX&#148;) and Birks&nbsp;&amp; Mayors began trading on the AMEX, which is now known as the NYSE Amex LLC (&#147;NYSE Amex&#148;), under the trading symbol &#147;BMJ.&#148; Since the merger, Birks&nbsp;&amp; Mayors
has worked very diligently to fully integrate the Birks business with Mayors and believes the integration process is 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. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Since the beginning of fiscal 2007, we invested approximately $22.1
million of capital expenditures primarily associated with leasehold improvements, fixturing, and the opening of new stores. We expect to invest an additional $3 million to $4&nbsp;million of capital expenditures in the fiscal year ending
March&nbsp;27, 2010 of which approximately two-thirds will be in the U.S. and one-third will be in Canada. We expect to finance these expenditures mainly from draws against our senior secured credit facility. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">During fiscal 2009, we closed one of our Mayors stores located in Atlanta, Georgia, and in May 2009 we discontinued production at our Rhode Island
manufacturing facility in order to reduce operating expenses and operate more efficiently by consolidating more of our production activities into our Montreal facility. During fiscal 2008, we opened two new Mayors stores located in Weston, Florida
and Jacksonville, Florida and acquired the assets of Brinkhaus, a privately-owned jewelry company that operated two stores in Western Canada for cash and notes of approximately $13.0 million. </FONT></P> <P

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We established a product development process that supports our strategy to further develop and enhance our product offering in support of the Birks brand
development. The centerpiece of this process is our Design Review Committee, which ultimately approves all new product designs and introductions. During fiscal 2009, fiscal 2008, and fiscal 2007, approximately 34%, 29%, and 40%, respectively, of our
jewelry product acquired for sale were internally designed, sourced or manufactured. Products which are not designed and internally manufactured are sourced from suppliers worldwide, enabling us to sell an assortment of 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. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">We have manufacturing facilities in Montreal, Vancouver, 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. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Montreal facility is the largest in volume 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 Florida and Vancouver facilities focus on specific types of
stone set jewelry and hand-made one of a kind jewelry pieces. During fiscal 2009, 2008, and 2007, we previously had a Rhode Island factory that was involved in the production of silver and gold jewelry, as well as stone set jewelry, however,
production was discontinued at this facility in May 2009 with much of the production transferred to our Montreal facility. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Availability of Products
</B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Although purchases of several critical raw materials, notably platinum, gold, silver, diamonds, pearls 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. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In fiscal 2009, we purchased jewelry, timepieces and giftware for sale in our stores from over 200&nbsp;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 key 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 2009, merchandise supplied by Rolex and sold through our stores operating under the Mayors and Brinkhaus brands accounted for approximately
24% of our total net sales. If Rolex terminated its distribution agreement with us, such termination would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. We believe that current relationships with our key
vendors are good. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Seasonality </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our

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. </FONT></P> <P

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

highly motivated, professional and customer-oriented individuals. All new sales professionals 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. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

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)&nbsp;enhance the quality and professionalism of all sales professionals, (ii)&nbsp;measure the level of knowledge of each sales professional, and (iii)&nbsp;identify needs for
additional training. We also provide all management team members with more extensive training that emphasizes leadership skills, general management skills, &#147;on-the-job&#148; coaching and training instruction techniques. </FONT></P> <P

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
&#147;Birks&#148; and &#147;Mayors&#148; brands with internationally recognized brand names such as Cartier, Patek Philippe, Rolex, and Van Cleef and Arpels, among others. Advertising and promotions for all stores are developed by our personnel in
conjunction with outside creative professionals. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">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 consist of advertising campaigns on television, billboards, print, catalog mailings, special events, media and public relations, distinctive store design,
elegant displays, partnerships with key suppliers and associations with prestige institutions. The key goals of our marketing initiatives are 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, client acquisition and retention and net sales. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

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 10% of our net sales during fiscal 2009. Sales under the Mayors

American retail jewelry industry is approximately a $63.5 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. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Regulation </B></FONT></P> <P

Montreal, Qu&eacute;bec. On December&nbsp;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 pursuant to which we lease the office building, including the Montreal flagship store, for a term of 20 years ending December&nbsp;11, 2020. The current net annual rental rate is
Cdn$1,663,750 (approximately $1.3 million U.S. dollars) for the period terminating on December&nbsp;11, 2009, 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&nbsp;30, 2040. Subject to specific terms and conditions, we

Birks brand retail stores in Canada was approximately 3,200, the average square footage of our two Brinkhaus brand locations was 1,800, while the average square footage of our Mayors brand retail stores in the Southeastern U.S. was approximately

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. The level of our sales is impacted by the number of transactions we generate and the size of our average retail sale. For the fiscal years ended March&nbsp;28, 2009,&nbsp;March&nbsp;29,
2008 and March&nbsp;31, 2007, our total average retail sale was $1,172, $1,200 and $1,049, respectively, which excludes service and repair transactions. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

marketing expenses which include marketing, public relations and advertising costs (net of amounts received from vendors for cooperative advertising) incurred to increase customer awareness of both the Company&#146;s retail brands and the Birks

</TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The decrease in comparable store sales during fiscal 2009 primarily reflects the difficulties
associated with decreased consumer confidence and spending in an extremely challenging economic environment, especially for luxury jewelry retailers and most apparent through a decrease in store traffic in both our Canadian and U.S. markets and a
decline in the average sale transaction in the U.S. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">During fiscal 2008, comparable store sales remained flat with sales from the prior
year reflecting difficulties associated with operating in a challenging economic environment in the latter half of fiscal 2008 and the resulting decrease in customer traffic in our Canadian and U.S. stores. Additionally, we believe the decrease in
store traffic in many of our Canadian markets was partly due to the strengthening of the Canadian dollar, which in turn, resulted in a significant number of Canadians travelling and shopping outside of Canada. The decrease in customer traffic was
partially offset by an increase in our average sale transaction both in Canada and the U.S. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The increase in comparable store sales of 4%
for fiscal 2007 was primarily the result of the successful execution of our strategy of increasing our average sale made possible also by the continued strength in the Canadian market. In the U.S., the increase in the level of the average sales
transaction was partially offset by a downturn in customer traffic patterns during fiscal 2007 compared to the previous fiscal year, which marked the beginning of the impact of the current economic cycle in our U.S. operations. Contributing to the
same store sales growth in both countries during fiscal 2007 was our continued success in the execution of our retail, merchandising and marketing strategies, which include increasing the offering of merchandise at higher price points while
increasing spending on the targeted use of catalogs, outdoor and print advertising, as well as other marketing programs to promote brand awareness. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

to fiscal 2008. The decrease in net sales was primarily driven by a 14% decline in comparable store sales and $11.7 million of lower net sales due to the impact of translating the sales of our Canadian operations to U.S. dollars with a weaker
Canadian dollar, partially offset by $10.4 million of additional sales generated by two Mayors stores opened during the prior fiscal year and the two Brinkhaus stores acquired in November 2007. </FONT></P> <P

for fiscal 2008. The gross profit margin as a percentage of net sales was 42.7% for fiscal 2009 compared to 46.5% for fiscal 2008. The 380 basis point decline was primarily attributable to our decision in November 2007 to lower the retail prices of

reduced production and under utilization of manufacturing resources due to the lower production demand related to slower retail sales. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

million decrease in SG&amp;A during fiscal 2009 as compared to fiscal 2008, was primarily driven by a $4.0 million reduction in marketing expenses, $6.1 million of lower compensation expenses associated with lower sales commissions due to reduced
sales and savings related to the Company&#146;s strategic downsizing initiated in January 2009, $2.3 million of lower general operating expenses resulting from our continued efforts to reduce general corporate overhead costs, as well decreased
variable costs associated with a lower net sales volume, and $4.8 million of lower expenses related to foreign currency translation, partially offset by an increase in operating costs due to the opening of two new Mayors stores and acquisition of
the two Brinkhaus stores in November 2007. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Impairment of Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets.</I> During fiscal 2009, we recorded an $11.2
million non-cash goodwill impairment charge and $2.3 million of non-cash charges associated with the impairment of long-lived assets at certain of our U.S. retail locations and our manufacturing facility in Rhode Island. No impairment charges were
recorded during fiscal 2008. For further discussion, see Note 3 &#147;Significant Accounting Policies&#148; to our consolidated financial statements. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Depreciation and Amortization.</I> Depreciation and amortization expense during fiscal 2009 was $6.2 million compared to $6.9 million during fiscal 2008. This $0.7 million decrease is primarily attributable to $0.3
million of lower expenses related to the translation of Canadian dollar expenses to U.S. dollars at a lower foreign exchange rate than in the comparable period last year and a reduction in capital spending. </FONT></P> <P

2008. This $0.7 million decrease is primarily explained by a $0.6 million reduction in financing costs resulting from lower interest rates during fiscal 2009, as compared to fiscal 2008, and a decrease in expenses associated with the translation of
interest costs of our Canadian operations to U.S. dollars at a lower exchange rate than in the prior year due to a weaker Canadian dollar. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

recognition of a non-cash valuation allowance against the full value of our net deferred tax assets in the U.S. and Canada resulting from management&#146;s determination that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be
realized in the future. The $9.8 million of income tax benefits recognized during fiscal 2008 is primarily the result of our reduction of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets related to our U.S. operations. </FONT></P> <P

imposed such a restriction, it is uncertain whether conditions could change and cause such a reserve to be imposed in the future. In addition, the value of our inventory is periodically assessed by our lenders and based upon these reviews our
borrowing capacity could be significantly increased or decreased. Other factors impacting our excess availability include, among others, changes in the U.S. and Canadian dollar exchange rate, which could increase or decrease our borrowing

of March&nbsp;28, 2009, which primarily consisted of a $0.5 million term loan from Investissement Qu&eacute;bec that bears interest at a rate of prime plus 1.5%&nbsp;per annum, which equated to 4.0% at March&nbsp;28, 2009, and is repayable until
February 2010 in equal monthly capital repayments; $0.1 million loan payable to the Small Business Loan Fund Corporation, bearing interest at 6.0%&nbsp;per annum repayable in monthly installments maturing in April 2010 and a $5.1 million
non-interest bearing note payable associated with our acquisition of two Brinkhaus stores in November 2007 which is to be paid in three installment payments of $1.7 million, the first of which was paid in May 2009 and the remaining two installments

2009 as compared to $11.2 million during fiscal 2008. The reduction in net cash provided by operating activities during fiscal 2009 is primarily attributable to a decrease in cash earnings of approximately $15.5 million from fiscal 2008, offset by a
decrease in the level of inventory net of corresponding decrease in accounts payable associated with management&#146;s efforts to reduce the level of inventory and increase the productivity of inventory on hand in response to the expected weakness
in sales associated with the current economic downturn. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We generated net cash flows from operating activities of $11.2 million in fiscal
2008, as compared to net cash used in operating activities during fiscal 2007 of $10.6 million, respectively. The increase in cash flows generated from operations in fiscal 2008 as compared to fiscal 2007, was primarily the result of a higher level
of accounts payable and a reduction in the level of inventories, offset by a higher level of accounts receivable. The net use of cash in operating activities in fiscal 2007 was primarily related to the increase in cash used to invest in inventory
associated with our internalization strategies resulting in higher levels of inventory including raw material and work-in-process as more products are being made internally, higher inventory related to the opening of a new retail store in Florida
during the year and the decision to maintain higher levels of core inventory items in timepieces and bridal jewelry. Also contributing to the use of cash in operations was a decrease in the level of accounts payable as more inventory purchases were
made earlier in the fiscal year and their corresponding invoices paid prior to the year end. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">During fiscal 2009, net cash used in
investing activities was $5.0 million, as compared to $16.5 million during fiscal 2008. This $11.5 million decrease is primarily related to the acquisition of the two Brinkhaus stores and the opening of two new Mayors&#146; stores during fiscal
2008, as well as a decrease in store renovations and related capital expenditures during fiscal 2009 as a result of the economic slowdown in the U.S. and Canada. In fiscal 2008, we used $16.5 million in investing activities compared to $6.9 million
used during fiscal 2007. This $9.6 million increase was primarily due to the acquisition of the net assets of two new Brinkhaus stores located in Western Canada for approximately $7.0 million, and the purchase of leasehold improvements and other
fixed assets related to the opening of two new retail stores in Florida for approximately $2.2 million. Net cash used in investing activities was $6.9 million in fiscal 2007 and was primarily related to capital expenditures for store remodeling, new
store locations and information technology enhancements. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

million in fiscal 2007. This $13.3 million decrease was primarily due to a reduction in the level of funding under our senior secured credit facility used to finance day-to-day operations resulting from a higher level of cash flows generated from

including capital expenditures, or repay debt when it becomes due,&nbsp;and as a result, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financing, including funding from governmental sources which may not be possible.
The sale of additional equity securities could result in significant dilution to our shareholders, and the securities issued in future financings may have rights, preferences and privileges that are senior to those of our common stock. The
incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that could restrict our operations. Financing may be unavailable in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all,

sufficient availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed financing is necessary for us to fund our day-to-day operations. Our ability to make scheduled payments of principal, or to pay the interest or additional interest, if any,
or to fund planned capital expenditures and store operations will depend on our ability to maintain adequate levels of available borrowing and our future performance, which to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive,
legislative and regulatory factors, as well as other events that are beyond our control. We believe that we currently have sufficient liquidity to fund our operations. This belief is based on certain assumptions about the state of the economy, the

Montreal store which is under a capital lease. Additionally, we have operating leases for certain equipment. During fiscal 2009 and 2008, we financed $2.9 million and $4.9 million of capital leases, respectively, under the terms of our Master Lease
Agreement which was used to fund capital asset purchases and leasehold improvements. No additional borrowings will be made under this agreement. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">Operating leases for store locations are expensed over the term of the initial lease period. While lease renewal periods are available on most leases, renewal periods are not included in the accounting lease term because we believe 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 and the rental payments are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease
term. All reasonably assured rent escalations, rent holidays, 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.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">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&#146; 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 </FONT>

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 and sales taxes. We generally give our customers the right to return merchandise purchased by them within 10

which have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements based on our estimated ability to realize such assets which is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and tax planning strategies. Additionally, foreign and domestic
tax authorities periodically audit the Company&#146;s income tax returns. These audits often examine and test the factual and legal basis for positions the Company has taken in its tax filings with respect to its tax liabilities, including the
timing and amount of deductions and the allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions (&#147;tax filing positions&#148;). The Company&#146;s management believes that its tax filing positions are reasonable and legally supportable. However, in
specific cases, various tax authorities may take a contrary position. In evaluating the exposures associated with the Company&#146;s various tax filing positions, management records reserves using a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold for
income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in accordance with FASB Interpretation No.&nbsp;48, &#147;Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes &#150; an interpretation of SFAS No.&nbsp;109.&#148; Earnings could be affected to the extent the
Company prevails in matters for which reserves have been established or is required to pay amounts in excess of established reserves. Management judgment is required in determining the valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets and the
Company records valuation allowances when management determines that it is more-likely-than-not that such deferred tax assets will not be realized in the future. Due to continued and expected future losses, we recorded a $47.8 million valuation
allowance against the full value of deferred tax assets as of March&nbsp;28, 2009 (see Note 10(a) to the consolidated financial statements in this Form 20-F). This valuation allowance could be reduced in the future based on sufficient evidence
indicating that it is more likely than not that a portion of our deferred tax assets will be realized. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Recent Accounting Pronouncements </I></B>

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In 2007, the Board of Directors approved the Executive Management Long-term Cash Incentive Plan, effective April&nbsp;1, 2007 (the &#147;LTCIP&#148;). The
purpose of the LTCIP is to encourage certain senior executives to reach goals that not only achieve the Company&#146;s short-term performance objectives, but also align the Company&#146;s goals with the creation of long-term shareholder value. The
plan consists of the following three components: (i)&nbsp;a target incentive compensation percentage; (ii)&nbsp;a payout percentage of the target compensation determined by the achievement of predetermined performance measures in accordance with a
matrix; and (iii)&nbsp;a performance evaluation cycle comprised of three-year intervals with the first cycle being the period of three years ending March&nbsp;28, 2009 and the second cycle being the period of three years ending March&nbsp;27, 2010.
The average sales growth rate and average return on equity of the Company during this three year period will determine whether and to what extent any payout under this plan will be. The achievement level will then be applied against a targeted
compensation amount for each member of senior management covered in the plan. The first two cycles were approved by the Board of Directors. The Company did not meet the targeted performance requirements under the first cycle and does not expect to
meet the requirements of the second cycle and no payout is expected to be made. With respect to each subsequent cycle, the goals and the matrix are subject to the approval of the Company&#146;s Board of Directors. To be eligible, an executive
officer must be employed through the completion of the cycle and at the date of payment. Payments under this plan will only be made following the approval by the Company&#146;s Board of Directors of the audited financial statements for the last
fiscal year of the cycle. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Employee Stock Purchase Plan </I></B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

Directors may from time to time also create special committees of the Board as needed. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">1. <I>Audit Committee</I>. We have a
separately-designated standing audit committee established in accordance with Section&nbsp;3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act. The audit committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors. The audit committee reviews the scope
and results of the annual audit of our consolidated financial statements conducted by our independent auditors, the scope of other services provided by our independent auditors, proposed changes in our financial accounting standards and principles,
and our policies and procedures with respect to its internal accounting, auditing and financial controls. The audit committee also examines and considers other matters relating to our financial affairs and accounting methods, including selection and
retention of our independent auditors. During the 2009 fiscal year, the audit committee held seven meetings and all members of the audit committee attended all of the audit committee meetings during such period. During fiscal 2009, the audit
committee was comprised of Alain Benedetti (Chair), Emily Berlin and Ann Spector Lieff, each of whom was financially literate and an independent, non-employee director of Birks&nbsp;&amp; Mayors. Effective May&nbsp;31, 2009, Alain Benedetti resigned
from our board of directors and as a member and chair of our audit committee. On June&nbsp;3, 2009, our board of directors named Louis Roquet a member and the chair of our audit committee. We have determined that Louis Roquet is financially
sophisticated and we waived the requirement for the present time under the audit committee&#146;s charter that at least one member of the audit committee be designated as an &#147;audit committee financial expert&#148; as this term is defined under
SEC rules. Neither the SEC nor the NYSE Amex require us to designate an &#147;audit committee financial expert&#148; and we have not determined that any of our current directors would qualify as such. </FONT></P> <P

Board of Directors. The purpose of the compensation committee is to recommend to the Board of Directors executive compensation, including base salaries, bonuses and long-term incentive awards for the Chief Executive Officer and certain other
executive officers of Birks&nbsp;&amp; Mayors. Certain decisions regarding compensation of certain other executive officers are reviewed by the compensation committee. During fiscal 2009, the compensation committee held five meetings and all of the

Committee</I>. We have a standing corporate governance committee which has also assumed the functions of a nominating committee in accordance with the SEC rules and NYSE Amex listing requirements on nominating committees. The corporate governance
committee is responsible for overseeing all aspects of our corporate governance policies. The corporate governance committee is also responsible for the oversight and review of all related party transactions and for nominating potential nominees to
the Board of Directors. Our policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by a shareholder is that we will consider such candidates and evaluate such candidates by the same process as candidates identified by the
corporate governance committee. During fiscal 2009, the corporate governance committee held six meetings and all members of the corporate governance committee attended all of the committee meetings during such period. Our corporate governance
committee is comprised of three directors and operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors. Emily Berlin (Chair), Peter O&#146;Brien, and Louis Roquet, each of whom is an independent, non-employee director of Birks&nbsp;&amp;
Mayors, currently constitute the corporate governance committee. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">4. <I>Executive Committee</I>. We have a standing executive committee.
The executive committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors. The purpose of the executive committee is to provide a simplified review and approval process in between Board of Director&#146;s meetings for certain
corporate actions. The intent of the executive committee is to facilitate our efficient operation with guidance and direction from the Board of Directors. The goal is to provide a mechanism that can assist in our operations, including but not
limited to, the monitoring of the implementation of policies, strategies and programs. In addition, the Executive Committee&#146;s mandate is to assist the Board with respect to the development, continuing assessment and execution of the
Company&#146;s strategic plan. The executive committee is comprised of at least three members of the Board of Directors. Vacancies on the committee are filled by majority vote of the Board of Directors at the next meeting of the Board of Directors
following the occurrence of the vacancy. The current members of the executive committee are: Filippo Recami (Chair), Thomas A. Andruskevich, Dr.&nbsp;Lorenzo Rossi di Montelera, Elizabeth Eveillard and Margherita Oberti. During fiscal 2009, the
executive committee held seven meetings. Four of the five members of the executive committee attended 100% of the executive committee meetings during such period and one member attended 86% of the meetings. </FONT></P> <P

The inclusion in this Annual Report of such voting shares, however, does not constitute an admission that the named individual is a direct or indirect beneficial owner of such voting shares. The voting shares that a person has the right to acquire
within 60 days of May&nbsp;31, 2009 are deemed outstanding for the purpose of calculating the percentage ownership of such person, but are not deemed outstanding for the purpose of calculating the percentage owned by any other person listed. For

Birks&nbsp;&amp; Mayors in the preceding year set forth in our annual profit plan and strategic plan. Under the agreement, Mr.&nbsp;Andruskevich&#146;s minimum base salary is $662,000 and provides for a performance based opportunity to increase his
base salary by $2,000. Additionally, Mr.&nbsp;Andruskevich will receive an annual performance bonus based upon the achievement of specific performance criteria, which are set each year by our compensation committee. Mr.&nbsp;Andruskevich is also
entitled to certain benefits such as life insurance, health and dental insurance, financial planning expenses and other reasonable expenses. Under his employment agreements since May&nbsp;15, 1996, Mr.&nbsp;Andruskevich has received three separate
grants of stock options, each of which is confirmed in his current employment agreement as remaining exercisable for 24 months after termination of his employment or ten years after the date of his retirement. In 1996, Mr.&nbsp;Andruskevich was
given the option to subscribe for a number of our Class&nbsp;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&nbsp;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 November&nbsp;14, 2005, for a compensatory purpose to employees, officers, or directors 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 of our shares at that time. Also in 1998, Mr.&nbsp;Andruskevich was given a second option to subscribe for a number of Class&nbsp;A voting shares which, immediately following their issue, would represent 2% of

suitable employment after March&nbsp;31, 2011, the Company must compensate Mr.&nbsp;Andruskevich for an additional period of up to 12 months by continuing to pay him a base salary, a monthly bonus calculated by taking the average bonus for the three

portion of the term in a lump sum and be entitled to benefits and will continue to pay his base salary and the said average annual bonus on a monthly basis for an additional period of up to 12 months should Mr.&nbsp;Andruskevich be unable to find
another suitable employment position. In the event Mr.&nbsp;Andruskevich&#146;s employment terminates as a result of his death, for cause, as a result of disability or due to his resignation without good reasons, he will receive his base salary

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Subject to the passive foreign investment company (PFIC) rules discussed below, the gross amount of dividends paid to U.S. Holders of our Class&nbsp;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 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. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">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&#146;s U.S. federal income tax liability. For purposes of calculating the foreign tax credit, dividends paid on our Class&nbsp;A voting shares will be treated as income from sources outside the U.S. and
generally will constitute &#147;passive income.&#148; Special rules apply to certain individuals whose foreign source income during the taxable year consists entirely of &#147;qualified passive income&#148; and whose creditable foreign taxes paid or
accrued during the taxable year do not exceed $300 ($600 in the case of a joint return). U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors to determine their eligibility to use foreign tax credits. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">To the extent that the amount of any distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits for a taxable year, the distribution first
will be treated as a tax-free return of capital, causing a reduction in the adjusted basis of our Class&nbsp;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&nbsp;A voting shares), and the balance in excess of adjusted basis will be taxed as capital gain recognized on a sale or exchange. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">With respect to certain U.S. Holders who are not corporations, including individuals, certain dividends received before January&nbsp;1, 2011 from a qualified foreign corporation may be subject to reduced rates of
taxation. A &#147;qualified foreign corporation&#148; 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 U.S. meets these requirements, and we believe we are 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 U.S. Our Class&nbsp;A voting
shares, which are listed on the NYSE Amex, should be considered readily tradable on an established securities market in the U.S. 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 &#147;investment income&#148; pursuant to Section&nbsp;163(d)(4) of the Code will not be eligible for the reduced rates of taxation regardless of the trading status of our Class&nbsp;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&nbsp;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. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Sale or Exchange of Class&nbsp;A Voting Shares </B></FONT></P> <P

on any sale or exchange of our Class&nbsp;A voting shares in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized for our Class&nbsp;A voting shares and the U.S. Holder&#146;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 of
currently 15%. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

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&#146;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 of the other company. Based on the nature of our income, assets and activities, and the manner in which we plan to operate our business in

risk exposure is interest rate risk. Borrowing under the senior secured credit facility and the term loan from Investissement Qu&eacute;bec bear interest at floating rates, which are based on LIBOR plus a fixed additional interest rate. As of
March&nbsp;28, 2009, we have not hedged these interest rate risks. As of March&nbsp;28, 2009, we had approximately $108.4 million of floating-rate debt. Accordingly, our net income will be affected by changes in interest rates. Assuming a 100 basis
point increase or decrease in the interest rate under our floating rate debt, our interest expense on an annualized basis would have increased or decreased, respectively, by approximately $1.0 million. </FONT></P> <P

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 U.S., non-U.S. currency transactions and assets and liabilities subject us to foreign currency risk. Material fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates resulting in a weakening of the Canadian dollar could
significantly reduce our borrowing availability under our secured credit facility which is denominated in U.S. dollars and limit our ability to finance our operations. 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 U.S. 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 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. As of March&nbsp;28, 2009, we had not hedged these foreign exchange rate risks. As of March&nbsp;28, 2009, we had approximately $4.8 million of net liabilities subject to transaction
foreign exchange rate risk related to changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar, which would impact the level of our earnings if there were fluctuations in U.S. and Canadian dollar exchange rate. Assuming a 10 percent
strengthening or weakening of the Canadian dollar in relationship to the U.S. dollar, as of March&nbsp;28, 2009, our earnings would have increased or decreased, respectively, by approximately $0.5 million. This analysis does not consider the impact
of fluctuations in U.S and Canadian dollar exchange rates on the translation of Canadian dollar results into U.S. dollars. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

Birks&nbsp;&amp; Mayors and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mayor&#146;s Jewelers, Inc. (&#147;Mayors&#148;), and are prepared in U.S. dollars and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. 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 upon consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include certain reclassifications of prior period

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. The going
concern basis of presentation assumes that the Company will continue its operations for the foreseeable future and be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The recent banking and
financial crisis, surging home foreclosure rates in the U.S. and more specifically, Florida (where the Company derives a significant portion of its revenues), and the global economic recession has created an extremely challenging retail and economic
environment in the U.S. and Canada, especially for luxury retailers. These unprecedented conditions have negatively impacted not only the Company&#146;s operating performance, but its availability to sources of financing to fund its operations and
its cost of capital. In December of 2008, the Company negotiated an amendment and extension of its senior secured revolving credit facility, which extended its borrowing terms through December 2011, albeit at a higher interest cost and a $27 million
decrease in its borrowing line. The Company also obtained additional financing through a $13 million secured term loan that is subordinated in lien priority to its senior secured revolving credit facility. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company&#146;s ability to fund its operations and meet its cash flow requirements in order to fund its operations is dependant upon its ability to
maintain positive excess availability under its senior credit facilities. Both its senior secured revolving credit facility lender and its senior secured term loan lender may impose, at any time, discretionary reserves, which would lower the level
of borrowing availability under our senior secured revolving credit facility (customary for asset based loans), at their reasonable discretion, to: i) ensure that the Company maintains adequate liquidity for the operation of its business, ii) cover
any deterioration in the amount or value of the collateral and iii) reflect impediments to the lenders to realize upon the collateral. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

senior secured revolving credit facility lender may impose using reasonable discretion, however, the Company&#146;s senior secured term loan lender&#146;s ability to impose discretionary reserves at its reasonable discretion is limited to 5% of the
senior secured credit facility availability. From February&nbsp;11, 2009 to February&nbsp;23, 2009, the senior secured term loan lender imposed a discretionary reserve of $4 million. While the Company&#146;s senior secured revolving credit facility
lender has not historically imposed such a restriction, it is uncertain whether conditions could change and cause such a reserve to be imposed in the future. In addition, the value of the Company&#146;s inventory is periodically assessed by its
lenders and based upon these reviews the Company&#146;s borrowing capacity could be significantly increased or decreased. Other factors impacting the Company&#146;s excess availability include, among others, changes in the U.S. and Canadian dollar
exchange rate, which could increase or decrease the Company&#146;s borrowing availability. Furthermore, a $15 million and a $ 7.5&nbsp;million seasonal availability block is imposed by the senior secured revolving credit facility lender and the

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In February 2009, the Company entered into a secured term loan agreement with Investissement Qu&eacute;bec to finance up to Cdn$2.9 million of expenses
and inventory costs related to its sponsorship of the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. In addition, in February 2009, the Company entered into a seven year secured term loan agreement with Investissement Qu&eacute;bec in the amount of
Cdn$10 million. This secured term loan is being used to fund the working capital needs of the Company and for general corporate purposes. Also in February 2009, the Company received a $2.0 million advance from its controlling shareholder, Montrovest
BV, to finance the Company&#146;s liquidity needs. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition to obtaining this additional financing, since January 2009, the Company
implemented a cost reduction program, whereby it eliminated 150 full-time positions or 15% of its workforce, suspended its traditional management cash bonus program effective the beginning of fiscal 2010, reduced other operating expenses and
implemented a salary reduction program which reduces the salary for all employees of the Company. In addition, the Company has taken steps to continue to manage working capital, which involves significant reductions in the amount of inventory it
carries. The Company believes that with the additional financing, planned reductions in operating expenses, inventory and capital expenditures, that it will be able to adequately fund its operations and meet its cash flow requirements for the next
twelve months. This determination, however, could be impacted by economic, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors, as well as other events that are beyond the Company&#146;s control. If any of the factors or events described
previously result in operating performance being significantly lower than currently forecasted or if the Company&#146;s senior lenders impose additional restrictions on its ability to borrow on the Company&#146;s collateral, there could be
significant uncertainty about the Company&#146;s ability to continue as a going-concern, and its capacity to realize the carrying value of its assets and repay its existing and future obligations as they generally become due without additional
financing which may not be available. These financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the going concern assumptions were not appropriate. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;

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&#146;s fiscal year-end as the measurement date for the impairment test,
which was performed at the end of fiscal 2008 and the goodwill amount was not considered impaired. During the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and due to a combination of factors, including a significant decline in the Company&#146;s stock price and its
impact on the Company&#146;s market capitalization as compared to its net book value, as well as the impact of economic downturn on customer demand especially during the holiday season, illiquidity in the overall credit markets and continued
forecasted declines in customer demand in the luxury retail market, the Company performed a two-step impairment analysis as required under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (&#147;SFAS&#148;) No.&nbsp;142, &#147;Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets,&#148; which required the Company to estimate the fair value of its retail reporting unit based upon its projection of revenues, operating costs, and cash flows considering historical and anticipated future results. The valuation
employs a combination of present value techniques to measure fair value and considers market factors. The key assumptions used to determine the fair value of our reporting units were: (a)&nbsp;expected cash flow for a period of five years;
(b)&nbsp;terminal values based upon terminal growth rate of 3%; and (c)&nbsp;a discount rate of 11% which was based on the Company&#146;s best estimate during the period of the weighted average cost of capital adjusted for risks associated with its
retail reporting unit. Based on its analysis, the Company determined that the entire carrying amount of the goodwill recorded on its books was impaired and therefore, the Company recognized an $11.2 million impairment charge during the third quarter
of fiscal 2009. Goodwill was $11.9 million at March&nbsp;29, 2008 all of which was allocated to the Company&#146;s retail segment. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

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. During fiscal 2009, the Company evaluated its long-lived

of the consolidated statement of earnings; changes in ownership interest be accounted for similarly, as equity transactions; and when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary and the gain

December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No.&nbsp;141 (revised 2007) &#147;Business Combinations&#148; (&#147;SFAS No.&nbsp;141R&#148;).&nbsp;SFAS No.&nbsp;141R states that all business combinations will result in all assets and liabilities of an
acquired business being recorded at their acquisition date fair values.&nbsp;Earn-outs and other forms of contingent consideration and certain acquired contingencies will also be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date.&nbsp;SFAS
No.&nbsp;141R also states acquisition costs will generally be expensed as incurred; in-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset at the acquisition date; changes in deferred tax asset
valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense; and restructuring costs will be expensed in periods after the acquisition date.&nbsp;This statement is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2008 or at the beginning of the Company&#146;s fiscal year ended March&nbsp;27, 2010.&nbsp;The Company has evaluated the provisions of SFAS No.&nbsp;141R and determined that its

<TD ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">During fiscal 2009, the Company executed an amendment and extension of its senior secured revolving credit facility. The Company&#146;s $160 million senior secured revolving credit
facility, which was set to expire on January&nbsp;19, 2009, was amended and extended for a total of $133 million and bears interest in the range of LIBOR plus 2.5% to LIBOR plus 3.0% (based on excess availability thresholds) for up to a $124 million
tranche of the facility and in the range LIBOR plus 4.5% to LIBOR plus 5.0% (based on excess availability thresholds) for a $9 million tranche of the facility. This credit facility has a three-year term expiring in December 2011 and is primarily to
be used to finance inventory, capital expenditures, working capital and provide liquidity for other general corporate purposes. </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">As of March&nbsp;28, 2009 and March&nbsp;29, 2008, bank indebtedness consisted solely of the Company&#146;s senior secured revolving capital credit facility which had an outstanding balance of $85.8 million and $120.1 million, respectively.
The senior secured revolving credit facility is collateralized by substantially all of the Company&#146;s assets. The Company&#146;s ability to fund its operations and meet its cash flow requirements in order to fund its operations is dependant upon
its ability to maintain positive excess availability under its senior credit facilities. Both its senior secured revolving credit facility lender and its senior secured term loan lender may impose, at any time, discretionary reserves (customary for
asset based loans), at their reasonable discretion, to: i) ensure that the Company maintains adequate liquidity for the operation of its business, ii) cover any deterioration in the amount or value of the collateral and iii) reflect impediments to
the lenders to realize upon the collateral. There is no limit to the amount of discretionary reserves that the Company&#146;s senior secured revolving credit facility lender may impose using reasonable discretion, however, the Company&#146;s senior
secured term loan lender&#146;s ability to impose discretionary reserves at its reasonable discretion is limited to 5% of the senior secured credit facility availability. From February&nbsp;11, 2009 to February&nbsp;23, 2009, the senior secured term
loan lender imposed a discretionary reserve of $4 million. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

historically imposed such a restriction, it is uncertain whether conditions could change and cause such a reserve to be imposed in the future. In addition, the value of the Company&#146;s inventory is periodically assessed by its lenders and based
upon these reviews the Company&#146;s borrowing capacity could be significantly increased or decreased. Other factors impacting the Company&#146;s excess availability include, among others, changes in the U.S. and Canadian dollar exchange rate,
which could increase or decrease the Company&#146;s borrowing availability. Furthermore, a $15 million and a $ 7.5&nbsp;million seasonal availability block is imposed by the senior secured revolving credit facility lender and the senior secured term
loan lender each year from December&nbsp;20</FONT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP STYLE="vertical-align:baseline; position:relative; bottom:.8ex">th</SUP></FONT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"> to January&nbsp;20</FONT><FONT

cross default provisions with all other loans, by which if the Company is in default with any other loan the default will immediately apply to both the senior secured revolving credit facility and the senior secured term loan. As of March&nbsp;28,
2009, a 100 basis strengthening or weakening of the Canadian versus the U.S. dollar would cause an approximate $0.2 million increase or decrease in the amount of excess availability. The Company&#146;s excess borrowing capacity was $9.2 million as
of March&nbsp;28, 2009. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The amended senior secured credit facility also contains limitations on the Company&#146;s ability to pay
dividends, more specifically, among other limitations, the Company 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. Additionally, the terms of this facility provide that no financial covenants are required to be met. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT

substantial responsibility, to provide additional incentive to employees and to promote the success of the Company. 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 units or share awards. The Long-Term Incentive Plan authorizes the issuance of 900,000
Class&nbsp;A voting shares, which consist of authorized but unissued Class&nbsp;A voting shares. The Company is restricted from issuing Class&nbsp;A voting shares or equity based awards under this program without the approval of the shareholders of
the Company if such issuance, when combined with the Class&nbsp;A voting shares issuable under this plan or any of the Company&#146;s other equity incentive award plans exceeds 1,304,025 Class&nbsp;A voting shares. Based on the current number of
awards outstanding under all of the Company&#146;s plans, no additional equity incentive awards are currently issuable without shareholder approval. Cash settled awards, however, are permitted. The Company has outstanding employee stock options
issued under the Birks Employee Stock Option Plan (the &#147;Birks ESOP&#148;). The Birks ESOP was authorized to issue 237,907 shares or 10% of non-voting common stock. The granting of options, the exercise price and the related vesting period were
determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The lives of the options issued under the Birks ESOP were not to exceed 10 years with options vesting generally pro-rata over four years. Effective November&nbsp;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 issued under the plan terminate or expire by their terms. As of March&nbsp;28, 2009,&nbsp;March&nbsp;29, 2008 and March&nbsp;31,
2007, there were 72,281, 136,467, and 162,437 Class&nbsp;A voting shares underlying options granted under the Birks ESOP, respectively. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="font-size:6px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>

the year ended March&nbsp;31, 2007, the Board of Directors approved the Executive Management Long-term Cash Incentive Plan (&#147;LTCIP&#148;), a cash-based performance plan for members of senior management. The intention of this LTCIP is to reward
members of senior management based on the performance of the Company over two performance measurement periods which are comprised of three-year cycles, the first of which began with the fiscal year ended March&nbsp;31, 2007 through March&nbsp;28,
2009 and the second cycle being the period from the beginning of the fiscal year ended March&nbsp;29, 2008 through March&nbsp;27, 2010. The average sales growth rate and average Return on Equity of the Company during this three year period will
determine whether and to what extent any payout under this plan will be. The achievement level will then be applied against a targeted compensation amount for each member of senior management covered in the plan. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">For a member of senior management to be entitled to a payout under the LTCIP, they must be employed through the completion of the cycle and at the date of
payment. In addition, the salary that will be used for each executive in determining their payout will be the salary in force on the first day of the eligibility period for the first cycle and the first day of the third year in the measurement
period for the second cycle. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company did not meet the required targeted performance levels for the period which began March&nbsp;31,
2007 through March&nbsp;28, 2009 and as a result, there will be no payout made under the first cycle. The maximum payout for all executives under the second cycle of LTCIP, if certain financial performance levels are met, is estimated to be
approximately $2.4 million, however, based on cumulative performance and estimates of future performance, the Company does not believe there will be a payout under the second cycle and accordingly, no liability related to this plan was recorded as
of March&nbsp;28, 2009. In fiscal 2008, the Company recorded $0.8 million of expense in selling, general and administrative expenses associated with this plan. During fiscal 2009, these expenses were reversed due to the Company&#146;s three-year
performance not meeting the targeted performance requirements of the plan. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

No.&nbsp;109 (&#147;SFAS 109&#148;) at the beginning of fiscal 2008. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of March&nbsp;28, 2009, the Company had no accrued interest related to
uncertain tax positions due to available tax loss carry forwards. The tax years 2006 through 2009 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject. </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE> <P

No.&nbsp;109, &#147;Accounting for Income Taxes.&#148; As a result of the severe economic downturn and its significant impact on customer demand and on the Company&#146;s profitability during the current fiscal year, the Company reevaluated the
recoverability of its deferred tax assets. As part of this analysis, the Company reviewed its pre-tax earnings or losses during the current fiscal year and two prior fiscal years in both its Canadian and U.S. operations as well as forecasted usage
in future years. This analysis showed the Company incurred a cumulative pre-tax loss associated with its U.S. operations during the current and prior two fiscal years primarily associated with the level of pre-tax losses incurred during the current
fiscal year. For the same period, the Canadian operations showed pre-tax income, however, due to the level of pre-tax loss estimated for the current fiscal year in Canada along with the uncertainty of positive financial results in both its U.S. and
Canadian operations for the next fiscal year, in light of the current economic slow down and the uncertainty of its length, the Company could not reach the required conclusion that it would be able to more likely than not recognize the recorded
value of both its U.S. and Canadian deferred tax assets in the future. Accordingly, the Company recorded a non-cash valuation allowance of $47.8 million against the full value of the Company&#146;s net deferred tax assets, which resulted in an
associated non-cash charge to tax expense of $39.0 million during fiscal 2009. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The significant items comprising the Company&#146;s net
