designer of fine jewelry and operator of luxury jewelry stores in Canada, with wholesale customers in North America, the U.K., and the E.U. As of September&nbsp;28, 2024, we have two reportable segments, &#147;Retail&#148; and &#147;Other.&#148;
Retail consists of our retail operations whereby we operate 25 stores across Canada, of which 18 retail locations operate under the Maison Birks brand, one retail location in Montreal under the Birks brand, one retail location in Montreal under the
TimeVall&eacute;e brand, one retail location in Calgary under the Brinkhaus brand, two retail locations in Vancouver under the Graff and Patek Philippe brands and two retail locations under the Breitling brand, one in Laval and another in Ottawa.
Other consists primarily of our <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">e-commerce</FONT> business, our wholesale business, and our gold exchange business. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Current Developments </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Economic risk factors </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company believes recent general economic conditions and business and retail climates, which includes heightened inflation, stock market
volatility and high interest rates could lead to a slow-down in certain segments of the global economy and affect customer behaviour and the amount of discretionary income spent by potential consumers to purchase the Company&#146;s products. If
global economic and financial market conditions persist or worsen, the Company&#146;s sales may decrease, and the Company&#146;s financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Compliance with NYSE American LLC Continued Listing Standards </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our common stock is currently listed with NYSE American LLC (&#147;NYSE American&#148;). In order to maintain our listing, we must maintain
certain share prices, financial and share distribution targets, including maintaining a minimum amount of stockholders&#146; equity and a minimum number of public shareholders. NYSE American may delist the securities of any issuer for other reasons
involving the judgment of NYSE American. We have in the past been, and may in the future be, unable to comply with certain listing standards that we are required to meet to maintain the listing of our common shares on NYSE American. For example, on
August&nbsp;13, 2020, the Company was notified by NYSE American that it was not in compliance with the continued listing standards set forth in Section&nbsp;1003(a)(ii) of the NYSE American Company Guide (&#147;Company Guide&#148;) (having a
stockholders&#146; equity of less than U.S. $4.0&nbsp;million and reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of four most recent fiscal years), on December&nbsp;9, 2020, the Company was notified by NYSE American that it
was not in compliance with the continued listing standards set forth in Section&nbsp;1003(a)(i) of the Company Guide (having a stockholders&#146; equity of less than U.S. $2.0&nbsp;million and reported losses from continuing operations and/or net
losses in two of three most recent fiscal years), and on June&nbsp;25, 2021, the Company was notified by NYSE American that it was not in compliance with the continued listing standards as set forth in Section&nbsp;1003(a)(iii) of the Company Guide
(having a stockholders&#146; equity of less than U.S. $6.0&nbsp;million and reported losses from operations and/or net losses in five most recent fiscal years). On February&nbsp;6, 2022, the Company was notified by NYSE American that it was back in
compliance with all of the NYSE American&#146;s continued listing standards set forth in Part 10 of the Company Guide and the Company has not been notified by NYSE American since that date. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">NYSE American does not normally consider suspending dealings with issuers that are below standards (i)&nbsp;through (iii) of
Section&nbsp;1003(a) of the Company Guide if the issuer has a total market capitalization of U.S. $50,000,000 or total assets and revenue of U.S. $50,000,000 each in its last fiscal year or two of its last three fiscal years, and the issuer has at
least 1,100,000 shares publicly held, 400 round lot shareholders, and a market value of publicly held shares of at least U.S. $15,000,000. For the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">twenty-six</FONT> week period ended September&nbsp;28, 2024, the
Company reported total assets of $193.1&nbsp;million (U.S. $143.1 million) and revenues of $80.1&nbsp;million (U.S. $59.4 million). As of November&nbsp;27, 2024, the Company had 5,493,404 publicly listed shares, more than 400 lot shareholders, and a
market value of publicly listed shares of U.S. $8.6&nbsp;million. The Company is currently not meeting the continued listing standards set forth in the Company Guide with respect to minimum stockholders&#146; equity and reported losses from
continuing operations and/or net losses. If NYSE American delists our common stock from trading on the exchange and we are not able to list our securities on another national securities exchange, we expect our common stock would qualify to be quoted
on an <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">over-the-counter</FONT></FONT> market. If this were to occur, we could experience a number of adverse consequences, including: limited availability of market quotations for the
common stock; reduced liquidity for our securities; our common stock being categorized as a &#147;penny stock,&#148; which requires brokers trading in our common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of
trading activity in the secondary trading market for our common stock; decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our net sales are comprised of revenues, net of discounts, in each case, excluding sales tax. Sales are recognized at the point of sale when
merchandise is taken or shipped. Sales of consignment merchandise are recognized on a full retail basis at such time that the merchandise is sold. Revenues for gift certificates and store credits are recognized upon redemption. Customers use cash,
debit cards, third-party credit cards, private label credit cards and proprietary credit cards to make purchases. The level of our sales is impacted by the number of transactions we generate and the size of our average sales transaction. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our operating costs and expenses are primarily comprised of cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses
(&#147;SG&amp;A&#148;). Cost of sales includes cost of merchandise, direct inbound freight and duties, direct labor related to repair services, the costs of our design and creative departments, inventory shrink, damage and inventory reserves,
jewelry, watch and giftware boxes, as well as product development costs. SG&amp;A includes, among other things, all <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-production</FONT> payroll and benefits (including
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-cash</FONT> compensation expense), store and head office occupancy costs, overhead, credit card fees, information systems, professional services, consulting fees, repairs and maintenance, travel and
entertainment, insurance, legal, human resources and training expenses. Occupancy, overhead and depreciation expenses are generally less variable relative to net sales than other components of SG&amp;A such as credit card fees and certain elements
of payroll, such as commissions. Another significant item in SG&amp;A is marketing expenses, which includes marketing, public relations and advertising costs (net of amounts received from vendors for cooperative advertising) incurred to increase
customer awareness of both the Birks product brand and our third-party product brands. Marketing has historically represented a significant portion of our SG&amp;A. As a percentage of net sales, marketing expense represented approximately 2.7% of
sales during the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">twenty-six</FONT> week period ended September&nbsp;28, 2024 and approximately 4.2% of sales during the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">twenty-six</FONT> week period ended September&nbsp;23, 2023.
Additionally, SG&amp;A includes indirect costs such as freight, including inter-store transfers, receiving costs, distribution costs, and warehousing costs. Depreciation and amortization includes depreciation and amortization of our stores and head
office, including leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures, computer hardware and software and amortization of intangibles. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our

new store and then are included or excluded from comparable store sales accordingly. Comparable store sales measure the percentage change in net sales for comparable stores in a period compared to the corresponding period in the previous year. If a
comparable store is not open for the entirety of both periods, comparable store sales measure the change in net sales for the portion of time that such store was open in both periods. We believe that this measure provides meaningful information on

September&nbsp;28, 2024 were $80.1&nbsp;million compared to $87.8&nbsp;million in the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">twenty-six</FONT> week period ended September&nbsp;23, 2023, which is a decrease of $7.7&nbsp;million, or 8.8%. Net retail sales
were $7.3&nbsp;million lower than the comparable prior year period, attributable primarily to the decrease in sales of branded jewelry related mainly to the exit of a brand that occurred at the end of fiscal 2024 and was slightly offset by an
increase in branded timepiece sales. The decrease in Net Sales &#150; Other of $0.4&nbsp;million is primarily driven by a decrease in sales of approximatively 57.4% from our wholesale business due to timing of sales and less initiatives to open
foreign markets, as well as a decrease in the gold exchange business by approximately 8.3% due to a decrease in events throughout the period, offset by an increase in <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">e-commerce</FONT> sales of approximately 25.4%
driven by all product lines, including an increase of approximately 27.3% in Birks product brand, and improvements to our ecommerce website functionalities. </P>

</TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Total gross profit was $31.3&nbsp;million, or 39.0% of net sales, for the
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">twenty-six</FONT> week period ended September&nbsp;28, 2024 compared to $36.1&nbsp;million, or 41.1% of net sales for the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">twenty-six</FONT> week period ended September&nbsp;23, 2023.
The decrease of 2.1% in gross margin is primarily attributable to a decrease in sales volume in the retail segment, specifically in branded jewelry, mainly due to a brand exit as well as an increase in foreign exchange loss of $0.2&nbsp;million
compared to the prior period, and was partially offset by a favourable product mix in branded timepieces. The wholesale and gold exchange channels also experienced lower sales volume and mix, negatively impacting gross profit. This was partially
offset by an increase in sales volume and sales mix across all product lines from the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">e-commerce</FONT> division. In addition, packaging, reserves and other costs were approximately $0.5&nbsp;million greater than the
prior year period. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>SG&amp;A Expenses </I></P>

SG&amp;A expenses in the period included lower marketing costs ($1.5 million) mainly due to lower brand development initiatives, lower occupancy costs ($2.1 million) due to store closures and store lease modifications, lower compensation costs ($0.3
million) due to lower sales volume and head count reduction, lower credit card fees ($ 0.3 million) and lower delivery and transport costs ($0.1 million) due to lower sales volume and a decrease in general and variable operating costs ($0.8
million). This decrease is partially offset by greater stock-based compensation ($0.4 million) mainly related to the fluctuation of the stock price. As a percentage of sales, SG&amp;A expenses in the
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">twenty-six</FONT> week period ended September&nbsp;28, 2024 have decreased by 2.3% as compared to the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">twenty-six</FONT> week period ended September&nbsp;23, 2023. </P>

availability under the Company&#146;s Amended Credit Facility (defined below). As of September&nbsp;28, 2024, bank indebtedness consisted solely of amounts owing under the Company&#146;s Amended Credit Facility, which had an outstanding balance of
$71.2&nbsp;million ($71.5&nbsp;million, net of $0.3&nbsp;million of deferred financing costs) on its maximum amount of $90.0&nbsp;million, which is used to finance working capital and capital expenditures, provide liquidity to fund the
Company&#146;s <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">day-to-day</FONT></FONT> operations and for other general corporate purposes. The sole financial covenant which the Company is required to adhere to under both its
Amended Credit Facility and its Amended Term Loan (defined below) is to maintain minimum excess availability of not less than $8.5&nbsp;million at all times, except that the Company shall not be in breach of this covenant if excess availability
falls below $8.5&nbsp;million for not more than two consecutive business days once during any fiscal month. In the event that excess availability falls below the minimum requirement, this would be considered an event of default under the Amended
Credit Facility and under the Amended Term Loan, that could result in the outstanding balances borrowed under the Company&#146;s Amended Credit Facility and Amended Term Loan becoming due immediately, which would also result in cross defaults on the
Company&#146;s other borrowings. Similarly, both the Company&#146;s Amended Credit Facility and the Amended Term Loan are subject to cross default provisions with all other loans pursuant to which, if the Company is in default of any other loan, the
Company will immediately be in default of both the Amended Credit Facility and the Amended Term Loan. The Company met its excess availability requirements as of and throughout the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">twenty-six</FONT> week period ended
September&nbsp;28, 2024 and as of the date these financial statements were authorized for issuance. In addition, the Company expects to have excess availability of at least $8.5&nbsp;million for at least the next twelve months from the date of
issuance of these financial statements. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On October&nbsp;23, 2017, the Company entered into a credit facility with Wells Fargo Capital
Finance Corporation Canada for a maximum amount of $85.0&nbsp;million. On December&nbsp;24, 2021, the Company entered into an amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility (&#147;Amended Credit Facility&#148;) with Wells Fargo
Capital Finance Corporation Canada. The Amended Credit Facility extended the maturity date of the Company&#146;s preexisting loan from October 2022 to December 2026. The Amended Credit Facility also provides the Company with an option to increase
the total commitments thereunder by up to $5.0&nbsp;million. On June&nbsp;26, 2024, the Company entered into an additional amendment to the Amended Credit Facility with Wells Fargo Capital Finance Corporation Canada. The amendment replaces the
interest rate of Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (&#147;CDOR&#148;) plus a spread ranging from 1.5% - 2% depending on the Company&#146;s excess availability levels for the interest rate of Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (&#147;CORRA&#148;) plus a
CORRA adjustment ranging from 0.30% to 0.32% and a spread ranging from 1.5% - 2% depending on the Company&#146;s excess availability levels. During the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">twenty-six</FONT> week period ended September&nbsp;28, 2024, the
Company was in compliance with the sole financial covenant which the Company is required to adhere to under the Amended Credit Facility (discussed above). On September&nbsp;6, 2024, the Company exercised the option to increase the credit facility by
$5&nbsp;million, bringing the credit facility to a maximum of $90&nbsp;million. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On June&nbsp;29, 2018, the Company secured a
$12.5&nbsp;million term loan with Crystal Financial LLC (dba SLR Credit Solutions) (&#147;SLR&#148;). On December&nbsp;24, 2021, the Company entered into an amended and restated senior secured term loan (&#147;Amended Term Loan&#148;) with SLR. The
Amended Term Loan extended the maturity date of the Company&#146;s <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-existing</FONT> loan from October 2022 to December 2026. The Amended Term Loan is subordinated in lien priority to the Amended Credit Facility
and bears interest at a rate of CDOR plus 7.75%. The Amended Term Loan also allows for periodic revisions of the annual interest rate to CDOR plus 7.00% or CDOR plus 6.75% depending on the Company complying with certain financial covenants. On
June&nbsp;26, 2024, the Company entered into an additional amendment to the Amended Term Loan with SLR. The amendment replaces the interest rate of CDOR plus 7.75% (or CDOR plus 7.00% or CDOR plus 6.75% depending on the Company complying with
certain financial covenants) for the interest rate of CORRA plus a CORRA adjustment of 0.32% and 7.75% (or CORRA plus a CORRA adjustment of 0.32% plus 7.00% or CORRA plus a CORRA adjustment of 0.32% plus 6.75% depending on the Company complying with
certain financial covenants). Under the Amended Term Loan, the Company is required to adhere to the same financial covenant as under the Amended Credit Facility (discussed above), and during the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">twenty-six</FONT>
week period ended September&nbsp;28, 2024, the Company was in compliance with such financial covenant. In addition, the Amended Term Loan includes availability blocks, at all times of not less than the greater of $8.5&nbsp;million and 10% of the
borrowing base, including additional seasonal availability blocks imposed from December 20th to January 20th of each year of $5.0&nbsp;million and from January 21st to January 31st<SUP STYLE="font-size:75%; vertical-align:top"> </SUP>of each year of
$2.0&nbsp;million. The Amended Term Loan is required to be repaid upon maturity. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company&#146;s borrowing capacity under both the
Amended Credit Facility and the Amended Term Loan is based upon the value of the Company&#146;s inventory and accounts receivable, which is periodically assessed by its lenders and based upon these reviews the Company&#146;s borrowing capacity could
be significantly increased or decreased. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company&#146;s Amended Credit Facility and its Amended Term Loan are subject to cross
default provisions with all other loans pursuant to which if the Company is in default of any other loan, the Company will immediately be in default of both its Amended Credit Facility and its Amended Term Loan. In the event that excess availability
falls below $8.5&nbsp;million for more than two consecutive business days once during any fiscal month, this would be considered an event of default under the Company&#146;s Amended Credit Facility and its Amended Term Loan, that provides the
lenders the right to require the outstanding balances borrowed under the Company&#146;s Amended Credit Facility and its Amended Term Loan to become due immediately, which would result in cross defaults on the Company&#146;s other borrowings. The
Company expects to have excess availability of at least $8.5&nbsp;million for at least the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Amended Credit Facility and Amended Term Loan also contain 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. The Company is required to either i) maintain excess availability of at least 40% of the borrowing base in the month preceding payment or
ii) maintain excess availability of at least 25% of the borrowing base and maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.10 to 1.00. Other than these financial covenants related to paying dividends, the terms of the Amended Credit Facility
and Amended Term Loan provide that no financial covenants are required to be met other than already described. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company&#146;s lenders
under its Amended Credit Facility and Amended Term Loan may impose, at any time, discretionary reserves, which would lower the level of borrowing availability under the Company&#146;s credit facilities (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 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 lenders may impose at their reasonable discretion. No discretionary reserves have been imposed by the Company&#146;s senior secured lenders since the
inception of the loans. </P>

period ended September&nbsp;23, 2023. The $4.0&nbsp;million decrease in cash flows provided in operating activities was the result of (i)&nbsp;a $1.6&nbsp;million increase in net loss during the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">twenty-six</FONT>
week period ended September&nbsp;28, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, (ii) $1.0&nbsp;million of cash used by changes in working capital, of which period over period changes included an inventory increase of
$2.9&nbsp;million driven by lower turnover of certain brands and greater purchases of inventory when compared to the prior year period, an accounts receivable and, other receivables (including long term receivables) decrease of $0.5&nbsp;million
driven by lower sales, an accounts payable, and accrued liabilities (including other long term liabilities) increase of $2.2&nbsp;million primarily driven by higher purchases in inventory and an increase in prepayments of $0.19&nbsp;million and

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are exposed to various market risks. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market prices and rates. We have not
entered into derivative or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Interest Rate Risk </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are exposed to market risk from fluctuations in interest rates. Borrowing under our Amended Credit Facility bears interest at floating rates
which is based on CORRA plus a CORRA adjustment and a spread depending on the Company&#146;s excess availability levels. Borrowing under our Amended Term Loan also bears interest at floating rates which is based on CORRA plus a CORRA adjustment
depending on the Company&#146;s compliance with certain financial covenants. As of September&nbsp;28, 2024, we have not hedged these interest rate risks. As of September&nbsp;28, 2024, we had $84.0&nbsp;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 $0.8&nbsp;million. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Currency Risk </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As of September&nbsp;28, 2024, we had $46.3&nbsp;million of net liabilities subject to foreign exchange rate risk related to changes in the
exchange rate between the U.S. dollar, the Euro, the Swiss Franc and the Canadian dollar, which would impact the level of our earnings if there were fluctuations in the U.S. and Canadian dollar exchange rate. Assuming a 100 basis point strengthening
or weakening of the Canadian dollar in relationship to the U.S. dollar, as of September&nbsp;28, 2024, our earnings would have increased or decreased, respectively, by approximately $0.5&nbsp;million. </P>

operations results in exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices, specifically diamonds, platinum, gold and silver. We do not currently use derivatives to hedge these risks. Our retail sales and gross margin could be materially impacted if prices
of diamonds, platinum, gold or silver rise so significantly that our consumers&#146; behavior changes or if price increases cannot be passed onto our customers. </P>

those projected in the forward- looking statements and no assurance can be given that the Company will meet the results projected in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to the following:
(i)&nbsp;heightened inflationary pressure, a decline in consumer discretionary spending, increased cost of borrowing or deterioration in consumer financial position; (ii)&nbsp;the Company&#146;s ability to maintain its listing on the NYSE American

impact on store traffic, tourism and sales; (iv)&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; (v)&nbsp;the
Company&#146;s ability to maintain and obtain sufficient sources of liquidity to fund its operations, to achieve planned sales, gross margin and net income, to keep costs low, to implement its business strategy, maintain relationships with its

on receivables, the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">right-of-use</FONT></FONT> assets and lease liabilities, deferred tax assets, and the recoverability of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from these

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 Company funds its operations primarily through
committed financing under its senior secured credit facility and senior secured term loan described in Note 5. The senior secured credit facility along with the senior secured term loan are used to finance working capital, finance capital
expenditures, provide liquidity to fund the Company&#146;s <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">day-to-day</FONT></FONT> operations and for other general corporate purposes. </P>

volatility and high interest rates could lead to a slow-down in certain segments of the global economy and negatively affect customer behaviour and the amount of discretionary income spent by potential consumers to purchase the Company&#146;s
products. If global economic and financial market conditions persist or worsen, the Company&#146;s sales may decrease, and the Company&#146;s financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected. </P>

Company received a loan forgiveness in the amount of $0.2&nbsp;million that is being recognized over the term of the loan. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On
August&nbsp;24, 2021, the Company entered into a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-year</FONT> loan agreement with Investissement Qu&eacute;bec for an amount of up to $4.3&nbsp;million to be used specifically to finance the digital transformation
of the Company through the implementation of an omni-channel <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">e-commerce</FONT> platform and enterprise resource planning system. In order to obtain the financing, the Company has agreed to maintain a certain number
of employees in Qu&eacute;bec. As of September&nbsp;28, 2024, the Company has $4.3&nbsp;million ($4.2&nbsp;million net of deferred financing costs) outstanding on the loan ($4.2&nbsp;million as at March&nbsp;30, 2024). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Both term loans with Investissement Qu&eacute;bec require the Company on an annual basis to have a working capital ratio (defined as current
assets divided by current liabilities excluding the current portion of operating lease liabilities) of at least 1.01 at the end of the Company&#146;s fiscal year. During fiscal 2024, the Company received a tolerance letter from Investissement
Qu&eacute;bec that allowed the Company, as at March&nbsp;30, 2024 to tolerate a working capital ratio of 0.97. The working capital ratio as of March&nbsp;30, 2024, was 0.96. On July&nbsp;3, 2024, the Company obtained a waiver from Investissement
Qu&eacute;bec with respect to the requirement to meet the working capital ratio as at March&nbsp;30, 2024. Furthermore, on July&nbsp;12, 2024, the Company received a tolerance letter from Investissement Qu&eacute;bec that allows the Company, as at
March&nbsp;29, 2025, to tolerate a working capital ratio of 0.90. As at September&nbsp;28, 2024, the working capital ratio was 0.92. </P>

July&nbsp;15, 2024, the Company obtained a support letter from one if its shareholders, Mangrove Holding S.A., providing financial support in an amount of up to $3.75&nbsp;million that is available until July&nbsp;31, 2025, of which up to
$2.75&nbsp;million is available prior to January&nbsp;1, 2025 and an additional amount of up to $1.0&nbsp;million would be available after January&nbsp;1, 2025. These amounts can be borrowed, if needed, when deemed necessary by the Company, upon
approval by the Company&#146;s Board of Directors, until at least July&nbsp;31, 2025, to assist the Company in satisfying its obligations and debt service requirements as they come due in the normal course of operations, or in meeting its financial
covenant requirements of maintaining minimum excess availability levels of $8.5&nbsp;million at all times as required by its Amended Credit Facility and Amended Term Loan. Amounts drawn under this support letter will bear interest at an annual rate
of 15%. However, there will be no interest or principal repayments prior to July&nbsp;31, 2025. On November&nbsp;27, 2024, the support letter was extended until December&nbsp;31, 2025. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company&#146;s ability to meet its cash flow requirements in order to fund its operations is dependent upon its ability to attain
profitable operations, adhere to the terms of its committed financings, obtain favorable payment terms from suppliers as well as to maintain specified excess availability levels under its Amended Credit Facility and its Amended Term Loan. In
addition to the covenant under both its Amended Credit Facility and its Amended Term Loan to adhere to a daily minimum excess availability of not less than $8.5&nbsp;million at all times, except that the Company will not be in breach of this
covenant if excess availability falls below $8.5&nbsp;million for not more than two consecutive business days once during any fiscal month, other loans have a covenant to adhere to a working capital ratio of 1.01 at the end of each fiscal year. In
the event that excess availability falls below the minimum requirement, this would be considered an event of default under the Amended Credit Facility and under the Amended Term Loan, that would result in the outstanding balances borrowed under the
Company&#146;s Amended Credit facility and its Amended Term Loan becoming due immediately, which would also result in cross defaults on the Company&#146;s other borrowings. Similarly, both the Company&#146;s Amended Credit Facility and its Amended
Term Loan are subject to cross default provisions with all other loans pursuant to which the Company is in default of any other loan, the Company will immediately be in default of both the Amended Credit Facility and the Amended Term Loan. The
Company met its excess availability requirements as of and throughout the&nbsp;twenty six week period ended September&nbsp;28, 2024 and as of the date these financial statements were authorized for issuance. In addition, the Company expects to have
excess availability of at least $8.5&nbsp;million for at least the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. </P>

CDOR plus 7.75% (or CDOR plus 7.00% or CDOR plus 6.75% depending on the Company complying with certain financial covenants) for the interest rate of CORRA plus a CORRA adjustment of 0.32% and 7.75% (or CORRA plus a CORRA adjustment of 0.32% plus

pursuant to which if the Company is in default of any other loan, the Company will immediately be in default of both its Amended Credit Facility and its Amended Term Loan. In the event that excess availability falls below $8.5&nbsp;million for more
than two consecutive business days once during any fiscal month, this would be considered an event of default under the Company&#146;s Amended Credit Facility and its Amended Term Loan, that provides the lenders the right to require the outstanding
balances borrowed under the Company&#146;s Amended Credit Facility and its Amended Term Loan become due immediately, which would result in cross defaults on the Company&#146;s other borrowings. The Company expects to have excess availability of at
least $8.5&nbsp;million for at least the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. </P>

(i)&nbsp;maintain excess availability of at least 40% of the borrowing base in the month preceding payment or (ii)&nbsp;maintain excess availability of at least 25% of the borrowing base and maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.10 to

and any interest thereon is subordinated to the indebtedness of the Company&#146;s Amended Credit Facility and Amended Term Loan. This cash advance bears an annual interest rate of 11%, net of withholding taxes, representing an effective interest
rate of approximately 12%, and is repayable upon demand by Montel once conditions stipulated in the Company&#146;s Amended Credit Facility permit such a payment. In the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">twenty-six</FONT> week period ending
September&nbsp;28, 2024, interest expense of $0.1&nbsp;million was recorded versus $0.1&nbsp;million in the comparative prior period. At both September&nbsp;28, 2024 and September&nbsp;23, 2023, advances payable to Montel amounted to U.S.
$1.5&nbsp;million (approximately Cdn $2.0 million), respectively. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company provides RMBG Retail Vancouver ULC (&#147;RMBG&#148;) with
retail support and administrative services, and charges RMBG for these related services. During fiscal 2025, the Company charged $244,999 to RMBG (nil for the period ended September&nbsp;23, 2023). These fees are reflected as a reduction of selling,
general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of September&nbsp;28, 2024, the Company has $0.07&nbsp;million ($0.2&nbsp;million as at March&nbsp;30, 2024) as a receivable related to these related
services, and is presented in accounts receivable and other receivables on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On July&nbsp;15,
2024, the Company obtained a support letter from one if its shareholders, Mangrove Holding S.A., providing financial support in an amount of up to $3.75&nbsp;million that is available until July&nbsp;31, 2025, of which up to $2.75&nbsp;million is
available prior to January&nbsp;1, 2025 and an additional amount of up to $1.0&nbsp;million would be available after January&nbsp;1, 2025. These amounts can be borrowed, if needed, when deemed necessary by the Company, upon approval by the
Company&#146;s Board of Directors, until at least July&nbsp;31, 2025, to assist the Company in satisfying its obligations and debt service requirements as they come due in the normal course of operations, or in meeting its financial covenant
requirements of maintaining minimum excess availability levels of $8.5&nbsp;million at all times as required by its Amended Credit Facility and Amended Term Loan. Amounts drawn under this support letter will bear interest at an annual rate of 15%.
However, there will be no interest or principal repayments prior to July&nbsp;31, 2025. On November&nbsp;27, 2024, the support letter was extended until December&nbsp;31, 2025. </P>
