sales increase partially offset by $0.9 million of lower sales related to 4 fewer store locations than the prior year, $1.3 million of lower sales related to translating the Company&#146;s Canadian sales into U.S. dollars due to the weaker Canadian
dollar and $1.9 million of decreased revenues related to non-retail activities (corporate sales, refining activities and internet sales). The comparable store sales increase of 11% reflects a 2% comparable store sales increase in Canada and a 20%
increase in the U.S. The increases in comparable store sales in both Canada and the U.S. were primarily attributable to increases in average sales, mainly driven by the success of the Company&#146;s timepiece strategy. </P>

related to translating the Company&#146;s Canadian sales into U.S. dollars due to the weaker Canadian dollar and $3.7 million of decreased revenues related to non-retail activities (corporate sales, refining activities and internet sales). The
comparable store sales increase of 10% reflects a 4% comparable store sales increase in Canada and a 17% increase in the U.S. The increases in comparable store sales in both regions were primarily attributable to increases in average sales
consistent with the Company&#146;s current merchandising and marketing strategies. The increase in comparable store sales in the U.S. reflects the success of the Company&#146;s timepiece strategy while the increase in comparable store sales in
Canada was primarily driven by the Company&#146;s fine jewelry businesses as well as upgrades to the Company&#146;s timepiece offering partially offset by lower sales associated with the decision to discontinue selling certain brands and product
lines. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Gross profit was $52.2 million, or 40.9% of net sales in the first six months of fiscal 2014, as compared to $53.9 million, or 43.2% of net sales,
in the prior year period. The $1.8 million decrease in gross profit included $0.8 million of lower gross profit resulting from the impact of translating the gross profit of the Canadian operation to U.S. dollars and $2.1 million of lower gross
profit related to non-retail activities. The decrease in gross profit was also negatively impacted by a 200 basis point decrease in retail gross margin primarily attributable to a higher mix of sales of higher priced products which have a lower
margin rate representing a larger percentage of the overall sales. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Selling, general and administrative expenses (&#147;SG&amp;A&#148;) for the period
were $52.7 million, or 41.4% of net sales, as compared to $52.7 million, or 42.2% of net sales, in the prior-year period. SG&amp;A expenses remained relatively consistent with the prior year as a $0.9 million decrease in expenses related to foreign
currency translation resulting from the translation of Canadian expenses into U.S. dollars with a relatively weaker Canadian dollar and $1.0 million of lower expenses primarily related to operating six less stores were offset by $1.3 million of
higher marketing costs and $0.2 million of higher costs related to the Company&#146;s planned expansion into China. The higher marketing expense is consistent with the Company&#146;s strategy to relaunch the Birks brand as Maison Birks. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Inventory totaled $158.2 million at September&nbsp;28, 2013, as compared to $153.9 million at September&nbsp;29, 2012, an increase of $4.3 million, or 2.8%.
The increase in inventory reflected the Company&#146;s strategy to upgrade its timepieces and fine jewelry businesses. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Interest bearing debt totaled
$132.1 million at September&nbsp;28, 2013 as compared to $126.6 million at September&nbsp;29, 2012, an increase of $5.6 million. Despite the increase in interest bearing debt, the Company&#146;s excess borrowing capacity under its senior secured
revolving credit facility was $21.6 million at September&nbsp;28, 2013 compared to $16.8 million at September&nbsp;29, 2013. The increase in excess borrowing capacity reflects the Company&#146;s successful efforts during the first half of the
current fiscal year to raise capital and funding resources to provide the Company with the additional liquidity to pursue its growth and rebranding strategies. </P>

&#147;We are extremely pleased with our comparable store sales growth during the second quarter and first half of the fiscal year as they partially offset the impact of reducing our gold refining revenues as well as the significant investments and
costs being made by the Company to reposition itself for long term growth and improved profitability in the months and years to come.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company

States and Canada. As of November&nbsp;2, 2013, we operated 30 stores under the Maison Birks brand in most major metropolitan markets of Canada (signage reflecting this new trade name will be changed at our current retail stores over time while
signage at our new stores already reflects this change), 20 stores in the Southeastern U.S. under the Mayors brand, one store under the Rolex brand name and two retail locations in Calgary and Vancouver under the Brinkhaus brand. Maison Birks was
founded in 1879 and developed over the years into Canada&#146;s premier retailer, designer and manufacturer of fine jewelry, timepieces, sterling and plated silverware and gifts. Mayors was founded in 1910 and has maintained the intimacy of a
family-owned boutique while becoming renowned for its fine jewelry, timepieces, giftware and service. Additional information can be found on Birks Group web site, <U>www.birksgroup.com</U>. </P>
