of luxury jewelry stores in the United States and Canada. As of October&nbsp;31, 2014, the Company operated 28 stores under the Birks brand in most major metropolitan markets in Canada, 18 stores in Florida and Georgia under the Mayors brand, one
store under the Rolex brand name and two retail locations in Calgary and Vancouver under the Brinkhaus brand. 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>

conditions, including the economies of the U.S. and Canada, which could adversely affect our business, operating results or financial condition, including our revenue and profitability, through the impact of changes in the real estate markets
(especially in the state of Florida), changes in the equity markets and decreases in consumer confidence and the related changes in consumer spending patterns, the impact on store traffic, tourism and sales; (ii)&nbsp;the impact of fluctuations in
foreign exchange rates, increases in commodity prices and borrowing costs and their related impact on the Company&#146;s costs and expenses; and (iii)&nbsp;the Company&#146;s ability to maintain and obtain sufficient sources of liquidity to fund its
