investments in new initiatives such as new store openings and remodels, new marketing campaigns, website upgrades and the introduction of new brands and expansion of existing brands. The combination of these long term investments combined with our
holiday results being lower than plan resulted in the Company recognizing a net loss for the year of $5.8 million. Furthermore, following the last two years of investment and strategic transition, we are beginning to realize the benefits of our
initiatives as demonstrated by the 16% comparable store sales growth in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2014.&#148; </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Fiscal 2014 Results </U></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Comparable store sales grew by 4% in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013, comprised of a 2% increase in Canada and a 6% increase in the U.S. The increases in
comparable store sales in both regions were primarily related to an increase in our average sale transaction. Net sales decreased by $11.6 million to $281.2 million in fiscal 2014 compared to $292.8 million in fiscal 2013, primarily driven by $10.6
million of lower sales associated with the closure of ten retail store locations in fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, $7.6 million of lower sales related to translating the sales of our Canadian operations into U.S. dollars with a relatively weaker
Canadian dollar and $7.0 million of decreased revenues related to non-retail activities (corporate sales, refining activities and internet sales) partially offset by the comparable store sales growth of 4% and sales at our two new mono-brand stores
in Canada which opened during fiscal 2014. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Gross profit for fiscal 2014 was $114.7 million, or 40.8% of net sales, as compared to $126.2 million, or
43.1% of net sales, in fiscal 2013. The 230 basis point decrease in gross margin was primarily attributable to a 170 basis point decrease in retail gross margin associated with product sales mix and more aggressive selling of discontinued watch
brands which are no longer part of the Company&#146;s assortment. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">SG&amp;A expenses were $105.5 million, or 37.5% of net sales, for fiscal 2014 compared
to $110.8 million, or 37.8% of net sales, for fiscal 2013. The $5.3 million decrease in SG&amp;A during fiscal 2014, as compared to fiscal 2013, was primarily driven by $4.0 million of lower expenses related to the closure of ten store locations in
fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 and $3.1 million of lower expenses related to foreign currency translation, partially offset by $0.9 million of higher expenses related to the two new mono-brand stores and $0.7 million of higher marketing expenses. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Inventory totaled $144.6 million at March&nbsp;29, 2014, as compared to $137.0 million at March&nbsp;30, 2013, an increase of $7.6 million, or 5.6%. Excluding
the impact of $6.6 million of foreign currency translation, the Company&#146;s inventory increased by $14.2 million compared to the prior year end. The increase in inventory was primarily due to an increase in comparable store inventory and the
opening of two new mono-brand locations partially offset by the closure of four stores in fiscal 2014. The increase in comparable store inventory reflects the initial stocking of new brands, and the expansion of existing third-party brands and of
the new Birks collections. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Interest bearing debt totaled $128.7 million at the end of fiscal 2014, as compared to $109.2 million at the end fiscal 2013,
an increase of $19.5 million. The increase in debt is primarily attributable to higher inventory, the net loss during the period and capital expenditures. The Company&#146;s excess borrowing capacity under its senior secured revolving credit
facility was $17.2 million as of March&nbsp;29, 2014 compared to $16.4 million at the end of fiscal 2013. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Fiscal 2015 First Quarter Sales Results

was primarily driven by higher average sales as well as a higher number of sales transactions associated with an increase in traffic reflecting both the success of the Company&#146;s watch brand
sales strategy in the U.S. as well as the impact of higher sales in stores renovated in the past year. In Canada, the increase in comparable store sales was primarily related to a higher average sale transaction reflecting higher sales in both the
Birks brand fine jewelry and bridal jewelry and the success of the Company&#146;s strategy to introduce new watch brands while expanding its offering of select watch and fine jewelry brands. Net sales for the first quarter fiscal 2015 increased 5.9%
or $4.1 million, to $74.2 million, as compared to $70.1 million during the first quarter of last fiscal year. The increase in sales reflects higher comparable store sales of 16% and $0.8 million of sales at our two new mono-brand stores in Canada
opened during fiscal 2014 partially offset by $2.3 million of lower sales related to translating the sales of the Company&#146;s Canadian operations into U.S. dollars due to the weaker Canadian dollar, $3.8 million of lower sales associated with the
closure of five underperforming stores and the temporary closure of two stores being relocated, and $1.0 million of decreased revenues related to refining activities. </P>

implementation. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Conference Call Information </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A
