company. Our strategy is to develop unique, innovative, Brookstone-branded products and offer them to customers via our proprietary distribution channels, which consist of our retail stores, our internet website and our catalogs. Our products are
intended to make some aspect of our customer&#146;s life easier, better, more enjoyable or more fun, qualities that we believe make our products particularly well suited for gift giving. Our portfolio is composed of the Brookstone and Hard-to-Find
Tools brands. The Brookstone brand includes products in four main categories: home and office, travel and auto, outdoor living and health and fitness, and it consists of approximately 950 stock-keeping units, or SKUs. Approximately half of
Brookstone products are priced at $40.00 or less, although items in our stores range in price from less than $5.00 to approximately $4,300.00. The Hard-to-Find Tools brand, which operates primarily through catalogs and the internet, features
products that offer innovative solutions to common problems and tasks around the home and garden. In fiscal year 2005, Brookstone accounted for approximately 93% of sales, while Hard-to-Find Tools contributed 7% of sales. </FONT></P> <P

airport-based stores and three outlet stores) as of December 31, 2005, our internet website and our catalogs. Our Brookstone store prototype is approximately 3,500 sq. ft. with approximately 670 SKUs and our stores are located in many of the
preeminent retail shopping malls around the country. Our airport-based stores generally range in size from approximately 600 to 2,000 sq. ft. and carry approximately 260 to 465 SKUs. In addition to these full-year stores, we operate approximately 65
Brookstone seasonal stores per year, which are typically open during the winter holiday selling season. We also market directly to customers via catalogs under both of our brands and via the internet at <I>www.brookstone.com.</I> Over the last four
years, we have initiated a multi-channel marketing strategy to maximize synergies among our proprietary distribution channels and to cost effectively present a unified brand to the customer. From fiscal year 2002 to fiscal year 2005, we increased
the Brookstone catalog circulation from approximately 7.5 million to approximately 30 million, while simultaneously decreasing the cost per circulated catalog. The total catalog circulation for both of our brands during fiscal year 2005 was
approximately 51 million. From fiscal year 2001 to fiscal year 2005, catalog and internet combined revenues grew at a compounded annual growth rate, or CAGR, of 15.1%, and accounted for 17.7% of net sales in fiscal year 2005. </FONT></P> <P

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:5%"><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2">We believe our strength is identifying, developing and selling products that are functional in purpose, distinctive
in quality and design and not widely available from other retailers. We believe our success is dependent to a large degree on our expertise in product development and our ability to introduce new or updated products in a timely manner. To maintain a
fresh and appealing selection of products, we strive to replace or update approximately 30% of the items in our merchandising assortment every year. Significantly, a key element of our strategy has been, and will continue to be, to increase the mix
of Brookstone-branded products, which generate higher gross margins. Over the last ten years, the proportion of our net sales derived from Brookstone-branded products has significantly increased, and as of the end of December, 2005, more than 70% of
our net sales for the current fiscal year was derived from Brookstone-branded products. We believe that in part because of this strategy, our consolidated gross margins, which includes occupancy costs, increased over the last ten fiscal years. We
source our products internationally through an efficient network of third party manufacturers and vendors; however, we own most of our proprietary product molds and also protect our intellectual property by obtaining patents on our products as
appropriate. We believe that selling Brookstone-branded products reinforces our franchise value and generates and strengthens customer loyalty. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

January&nbsp;30, 2005 through October&nbsp;3, 2005 and our successor audited consolidated financial statements for the period from October&nbsp;4, 2005 through December 31, 2005. The summary financial data for fiscal years 2003 and 2004 are all

the intended sale of which was announced by us on June 29, 2005, as a discontinued operation. Because of the revaluation of certain assets and liabilities acquired as part of the transactions and the related impact to the financial data, the
consolidated financial statements of our predecessor for the periods prior to October&nbsp;4, 2005 are not comparable to our consolidated financial statements subsequent to that date. The summary unaudited pro forma consolidated financial data gives
pro forma effect to the transactions. The summary unaudited pro forma consolidated financial data does not purport to represent what the results of operations or financial position would have been had the transactions occurred on the dates indicated
above or to project results of operations or financial position for any future period or at any future date. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

to assess the performance of our business, the use of EBITDA is limited because it does not include certain material costs, such as interest and taxes, necessary to operate our business. The presentation of EBITDA included in this prospectus should
be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, net income in accordance with U.S. GAAP as a measure of performance or net cash provided by operating activities as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP as a measure of liquidity.

STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:5%"><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2">A high percentage of our annual sales and substantially all of our annual income from operations have historically been attributable to the winter holiday selling
season. In addition, our sales in our second fiscal quarter are generally higher than sales during the first and third quarters as a result of sales in connection with Father&#146;s Day. Like many retailers, we must make merchandising and inventory
decisions for the winter holiday selling season and the Father&#146;s Day selling season well in advance of actual sales. Accordingly, unfavorable economic conditions, weather conditions and/or deviations from projected demand for products during
these seasons could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations for the entire fiscal year. While we have implemented certain measures to improve our results during periods outside of the winter holiday selling season and the
Father&#146;s Day selling season, such as the opening of stores in airports, we expect that our annual results of operations will remain dependent on our performance during the winter holiday selling season, and to a lesser extent, on our
performance during the Father&#146;s Day selling season. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2"><B><I>Our ability to introduce

FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2">Successful implementation of our merchandising strategy depends on our ability to introduce in a timely manner new or updated products, which are affordable, functional in purpose, distinctive in quality and design and not
widely available from other retailers. We expect that the popularity of a product or group of related products of the types we typically offer will be limited in time due to the continual changing nature of consumer preferences. In addition, if our
products or substitutes for such products become widely available from other retailers (including mass-retailers, department stores or discount retailers), demand for these products from us may decline or we may be required to reduce our retail
prices. If a competitor of our company were to offer for sale new and innovative products that we did not offer for sale, customer demand for our goods could decline. A decline in the demand for, or a reduction in the retail prices of, our important
existing products can cause declines in our sales and profitability if we are unable to introduce in a timely fashion new or replacement products of similar sales levels and profitability. Even with innovative merchandising, there remains a risk
that the products will not sell at planned levels. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2"><B><I>Changes in consumer preferences

indenture governing the notes is likely to be significantly impaired by applicable bankruptcy law if a bankruptcy case were to be commenced by or against us before the collateral agent repossessed and disposed of the collateral. Upon the
commencement of a case for relief under Title 11 of the United States Code, a secured creditor such as the collateral agent is prohibited from repossessing its security from a debtor in a bankruptcy case, or from disposing of security repossessed
from such debtor, without bankruptcy court approval. Moreover, the bankruptcy code permits the debtor to continue to retain and use collateral even though the debtor is in default under the applicable debt instruments, provided that the secured
creditor is given &#147;adequate protection&#148; to the extent the debtor&#146;s use, sale or lease of collateral diminishes the value of such creditor&#146;s collateral. Moreover, the meaning of the term &#147;adequate protection&#148; may vary
according to circumstances, but it is intended in general to protect the value of the secured creditor&#146;s interest in the collateral as of the commencement of the bankruptcy case and may include cash payments or the granting of additional
security if and at such times as the bankruptcy court in its discretion determines that the value of the secured creditor&#146;s interest in the collateral is declining as a result of such debtor&#146;s use, sale or lease of such collateral. A
bankruptcy court may determine that a secured creditor may not require compensation for a diminution in the value of its interest in the collateral if the value of the collateral exceeds the debt it secures. </FONT></P> <P

to us, we believe that, with the exceptions set forth below, exchange notes issued pursuant to the exchange offer in exchange for initial notes may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by holders thereof, other than any holder
which is our affiliate within the meaning of Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act, or a broker-dealer who purchased initial notes directly from us to resell pursuant to Rule 144A or any other available exemption promulgated under the
Securities Act, without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that the exchange notes are acquired in the ordinary course of business of the holder and the holder is not participating,
does not intend to participate and does not have an arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of such exchange notes. Any holder who tenders in the exchange offer for the purpose, or with the intention, of
participating in a distribution of the exchange notes, or who is our affiliate, cannot rely on this interpretation by the SEC&#146;s staff and must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection
with a secondary resale transaction and such secondary resale transaction must be covered by an effective registration statement under the Securities Act containing the selling securityholder&#146;s information required by Regulation S-K under the
Securities Act, unless an exemption from registration is otherwise available. The foregoing is based on existing interpretations of the Securities Act by the SEC. We do not intend to seek our own no-action letter, and there is no assurance that the
SEC staff would make a similar determination with respect to the exchange notes. If this interpretation is inapplicable, and you transfer any exchange note without delivering a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act or without an
exemption from such requirements, you may incur liability under the Securities Act. We do not assume, or indemnify holders of notes against, any such liability. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

to assess the performance of our business, the use of EBITDA is limited because it does not include certain material costs, such as interest and taxes, necessary to operate our business. The presentation of EBITDA included in this prospectus should
be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, net income in accordance with U.S. GAAP as a measure of performance or net cash provided by operating activities as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP as a measure of liquidity.

the Saturday closest to the end of January to the Saturday closest to the end of December. The following Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations is presented on a combined basis, in which predecessor company operations
through October 3, 2005 and successor company operations from October 4, 2005 to December 31, 2005 are combined as one. We have prepared our discussion of the results of operations by comparing the combined successor and predecessor results for the
forty-eight week period ended December 31, 2005 to the fifty-two week period ended January 29, 2005 as presented below. We did not recast our financial statements for Fiscal 2004 to disclose financial information for the eleven-months ended
December&nbsp;31, 2004 because it was not cost justifiable or practicable to compile such information and believe that these period to period comparisons will be informative given the fact that the Fiscal fourth quarter periods of 2004 and 2005 both
encompass the Holiday selling season. We consider a retail store that has been open for the entire prior fiscal year a &#147;same store&#148; and such store will remain in the same store base until it closes permanently. Retail locations that were
remodeled or relocated are not removed from this calculation. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2"><B>Introduction

Our products are intended to make some aspect of our customer&#146;s life easier, better, more enjoyable or more fun, qualities that we believe make our products particularly well suited for gift giving. Our portfolio is composed of the Brookstone
and Hard-to-Find Tools brands. The Brookstone brand includes products in four main categories: home and office, travel and auto, outdoor living and health and fitness, and it consists of approximately 950 stock-keeping units, or SKUs. Approximately
half of Brookstone products are priced at $40.00 or less, although items in our stores range in price from less than $5.00 to approximately $4,300.00. The Hard-to-Find Tools brand, which operates primarily through catalogs and the internet, features
products that offer innovative solutions to common problems and tasks around the home and garden. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="ARIAL"

reflecting the results of operations from the Gardeners Eden business as a discontinued operation. For the forty-eight week period ended December 31, 2005 and the fifty-two week period ended January 30, 2005, the Gardener&#146;s Eden net loss
totaled $6.1 million (net of tax benefit of $3.2 million) and $2.1 million (net of tax benefit of $1.5 million), respectively. Included in discontinued operations for the forty-eight weeks ended December 31, 2005 is a pre-tax impairment charge of

impact on overall financial position. The impact of adoption of SFAS 123R will depend on various factors including the achievement of certain performance based incentives as stated in class B restricted interest awards. For the time-based vesting
instruments, we believe the future impact of SFAS 123R is likely to approximate the pro forma compensation expense reported under SFAS 123 as described in the disclosure of pro forma net earnings to the Consolidated Financial Statements. For the
performance-based vesting instruments, we are unable to determine the future impact of SFAS 123R at this time. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

on the market interest rates in effect at December 31, 2005. The sensitivity analysis indicated that a hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates would result in an $80,000 gain in the fair value of the interest rate swap. This gain in fair value
on the swap is offset by an equal amount increase in interest expense from the unhedged portion of the real estate loan. The opposite results occurred with a hypothetical 10% decrease in interest rates, which resulted in an </FONT>

products are intended to make some aspect of our customer&#146;s life easier, better, more enjoyable or more fun, qualities that we believe make our products particularly well suited for gift giving. Our portfolio is composed of the Brookstone and
Hard-to-Find Tools brands. The Brookstone brand includes products in four main categories: home and office, travel and auto, outdoor living and health and fitness, and it consists of approximately 950 SKUs. Approximately half of Brookstone products
are priced at $40.00 or less, although items in our stores range in price from less than $5.00 to approximately $4,300.00. The Hard-to-Find Tools brand, which operates primarily through catalogs and the internet, features products that offer
innovative solutions to common problems and tasks around the home and garden. In fiscal year 2005, Brookstone accounted for approximately 93% of sales, while Hard-to-Find Tools contributed 7% of sales. </FONT></P> <P

Brookstone seasonal stores per year, which are typically open during the winter holiday selling season. We also market directly to customers via catalogs under both of our brands and via the internet at<I> www.brookstone.com</I>. Over the last four

the Brookstone catalog circulation from approximately 7.5 million to approximately 30 million, while simultaneously decreasing the cost per circulated catalog. The total catalog circulation for both of our brands during fiscal 2005 was approximately

appealing selection of products, we strive to replace or update approximately 30% of the items in our merchandising assortment every year. Significantly, a key element of our strategy has been, and will continue to be, to increase the mix of
Brookstone-branded products, which generate higher gross margins. Over the last ten years, the proportion of our net sales derived from Brookstone-branded products has significantly increased, and as of the end of December 2005, more than 70% of our
net sales for the current fiscal year was derived from Brookstone-branded products. We believe that in part because of this strategy, our consolidated gross margins, which includes occupancy costs, increased over the last ten fiscal years. We source
our products internationally through an efficient network of third- party manufacturers and vendors; however, we own most of our proprietary product molds and also protect our intellectual property by obtaining patents on our products as
appropriate. We believe that selling Brookstone-branded products reinforces our franchise value and generates and strengthens customer loyalty. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

offer a compelling value proposition to the consumer. Based on a study by Leo J. Shapiro and Associates, LLC, an independent market research agency, we believe that an estimated 76% of the U.S. population recognizes the Brookstone brand name. Our
brand is not closely linked with a particular product category, which we believe gives us a strategic advantage in that we can develop and market products across a wide array of product categories. We are also one of a limited number of brands that
focus on men as end users. The combination of these factors makes our products particularly well suited for gift giving, and based on market research, approximately two-thirds of our customers&#146; purchases are made by women, we believe frequently
as gifts for men. Our brand&#146;s reputation for quality and customer service is enhanced by our policy of 100% customer satisfaction, 100% of the time. Our brand recognition is further reinforced by our nationwide footprint of 305 Brookstone
stores as of December 31, 2005, our distribution of approximately 30 million Brookstone catalogs last year and our internet site. We also market our brand and products to consumers via an aggressive public relations campaign aimed at the news media.
Certain of our key products have appeared prominently in a variety of national publications including <I>The New York Times, The Wall St. Journal, USA Today, Time</I> and <I>Newsweek</I>, as well as on some of the country&#146;s top television

derived from Brookstone-branded products has significantly increased, and more than 70% of our net&nbsp;sales for fiscal year 2005 was derived from Brookstone-branded products. Increasing sales&nbsp;from our branded products provides several key
competitive advantages, including strengthening brand identity and limiting product level competition, particularly on price, as our proprietary products are recognizable and not widely available elsewhere. Given that a high proportion of our sales
are from proprietary products, we have a limited need for temporary and seasonal promotions, which has helped limit our markdowns to an average of approximately of 3.5% of net sales over the last five fiscal years. We employ 25 merchandise
professionals who focus on developing and selecting new products that differentiate us in the marketplace. Brookstone Labs, our in-house design group based in New Hampshire, helps translate the strategies of our merchandising professionals into a
consistent and unique design esthetic. We are also focused on developing cutting edge audio and video products through Advanced Audio Concepts, Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary located in Hong Kong. Our success in developing innovative products is
evidenced by the numerous functional and design patents that we have received. We aggressively pursue parties that have violated our intellectual property rights and collect royalties on several products designed by us. </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE> <P

and the internet) is an effective marketing and distribution channel; however, we aggressively seek opportunities to increase sales through synergies among these channels. This strategy is particularly important, as we believe that a customer who
purchases via multiple channels tends to shop more frequently, spend more per transaction and be more responsive to marketing. Accordingly, after extensive testing and the calculation of incremental sales resulting from mailing catalogs to select
customer groups, we increased the circulation of the Brookstone catalog on a targeted basis from 7.5 million books to 30 million books over the last four fiscal years. Based on the incremental sales generated with these additional mailings through
phone and mail orders, the internet and retail stores, we believe that this marketing strategy has proven to be a cost-effective way to increase revenue across our distribution channels. This is further evidenced by the fact that our cost per
circulated catalog has decreased over the last three fiscal years. </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:-6px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

thereby maintaining customer interest through the freshness of our product selections and further establishing Brookstone as a leader in identifying and offering high quality, functional products which are not widely available from other retailers.
While the average sales life of our products is between two and four years, the sales life of certain products may be significantly shorter. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

attract shoppers into our stores by highlighting products that are anticipated to be of particular interest to customers and are appropriate for the season. Both our Brookstone catalog and our website identify our retail store locations, and the
stores advertise our website and supply customers with catalogs. Our merchandising strategy does not depend on price discounting. Over the last three years, we have initiated a multi-channel marketing strategy to maximize synergies among our
proprietary distribution channels and to cost effectively present a unified brand to the customer. From fiscal year 2002 to fiscal year 2005, we increased the Brookstone catalog circulation from approximately 7.5 million catalogs to approximately 30

suppliers in the region. Our merchandise directors develop relationships with contract manufacturers and coordinate with our sourcing teams in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, China and Paris and our quality control teams in China. We also own the
manufacturing molds for most of our Brookstone-branded products. Our sourcing network allows us to monitor and maintain quality standards throughout the development and manufacturing process and provides us with the flexibility to match
manufacturing capacity with demand. Brookstone Labs, our in-house design group based in New Hampshire, helps translate the strategies of our merchandising professionals into a consistent and unique design esthetic. We are also focused on developing
cutting edge audio and video products through Advanced Audio Concepts, Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary located in Hong Kong. Our success in developing innovative products is evidenced by the numerous functional and design patents that we have

SIZE="2">Concurrently with the closing of the offering, on October 4, 2005, we entered into a new senior secured credit facility with Bank of America, N.A., Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P. and a syndicate of other financial institutions. Our new
senior secured credit facility, subject to a borrowing base limitation, provides for loans in an aggregate amount of up to $100.0 million, which include a letter of credit subfacility, a swingline subfacility and a stretch loan subfacility providing
for increased advance rates on the borrowing base assets. Our new senior secured credit facility has a maturity of five years. The following is a description of the principal terms of our new senior secured credit facility. </FONT></P> <P

SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:5%"><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2">Our borrowings under our new senior secured credit facility bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of LIBOR (London Interbank Offer
Rate) plus the applicable margin or, at our option, the alternate base rate (which will be the higher of (x) the Bank of America, N.A. prime rate and (y) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%) plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin is
initially 1.50% per annum in the case of LIBOR rate advances (or in the case of the stretch loan subfacility, 5.0% per annum) and 0.25% per annum in the case of alternate base rate advances (or in the case of the stretch loan subfacility, 3.75% per
annum). Commencing with the first day of fiscal year 2006, the applicable margin (other than with respect to the stretch loan subfacility) will be adjusted from time to time in accordance with a pricing grid based on our average availability
(defined as the lesser of (i) the total commitments of the lenders under our new senior secured credit facility and (ii) the amount of the borrowing base under our new senior secured credit facility, in each case minus the aggregate outstanding
amount of revolving loans and other credit extensions under our new senior secured credit facility) during the preceding fiscal quarter. The applicable margin (other than with respect to the stretch loan subfacility) ranges from 1.25% to 1.75% per
annum in the case of LIBOR rate advances and from 0.00% to 0.50% per annum in the case of alternate base rate advances. The default rate on our new senior secured credit facility is 2% above the otherwise applicable interest rate. </FONT></P> <P

Issuer upon a Change of Control or an Asset Sale could cause a default under these other agreements, even if the Change of Control or Asset Sale itself does not, due to the financial effect of such repurchases on the Issuer. In the event a Change of
Control or Asset Sale occurs at a time when the Issuer is prohibited from purchasing notes, the Issuer could seek the consent of its other lenders to the purchase of notes or could attempt to refinance the borrowings that contain such prohibition.
If the Issuer does not obtain a consent or repay those borrowings, the Issuer will remain prohibited from purchasing notes. In that case, the Issuer&#146;s failure to purchase tendered notes would constitute an Event of Default under the indenture
which, in turn, may constitute a default under the other indebtedness. Finally, the Issuer&#146;s ability to pay cash to the holders of notes upon a repurchase may be limited by the Issuer&#146;s then existing financial resources. See &#147;Risk

SIZE="2">The following discussion is a summary of the material United States federal income tax consequences relevant to the purchase, ownership and disposition of the notes, but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax
effects. The discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &#147;Code&#148;), United States Treasury Regulations issued thereunder, Internal Revenue Service (&#147;IRS&#148;) rulings and pronouncements and judicial
decisions now in effect, all of which are subject to change at any time. Any such change may be applied retroactively in a manner that could adversely affect a holder of the notes. This discussion does not address all of the United States federal
income tax consequences that may be relevant to a holder in light of such holder&#146;s particular circumstances or to holders subject to special rules, such as banks, financial institutions, U.S. expatriates, insurance companies, dealers in
securities or currencies, traders in securities, partnerships or other pass-through entities, U.S. Holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, tax-exempt organizations and persons holding the notes as part of a
&#147;straddle,&#148; &#147;hedge,&#148; &#147;conversion transaction&#148; or other integrated transaction. In addition, this discussion is limited to persons who purchased the notes for cash at original issue and at their &#147;issue price&#148;
within the meaning of Section 1273 of the Code (i.e., the first price at which a substantial amount of notes are sold to the public for cash). Moreover, the effect of any applicable state, local or foreign tax laws is not discussed. The discussion
deals only with notes held as &#147;capital assets&#148; within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

inventory reserves, the useful life of property, plant and equipment, valuation of long-lived assets, accounting for income taxes, pension and other post retirement benefit plans and workers&#146; compensation and general liability insurance

the company identified and corrected an error in its accounting policy related to the timing of rent expense for certain locations. Previously, the Company followed a practice in which it began recording rent expense at the time a store opened and
the lease term commenced. The Company now records rent expense when it takes possession of a store, which occurs before the contractual commencement of the lease term and approximately 60 days prior to the opening of the store. This results in an
earlier recognition of rent expense for each lease, as the Company begins recording rent expense during the pre-opening period, but a reduction in monthly rent expense as the total rent due under the lease is amortized over a greater number of
months. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:5%"><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2">To correct this error, the Company recorded a cumulative,

stock options, using a fair-value-based method and the recording of such expense in the Company&#146;s consolidated statement of operations. The accounting provisions of SFAS No.&nbsp;123R are effective for Fiscal years beginning after June&nbsp;15,
2005. The Company will be required to adopt SFAS&nbsp;123R for its Fiscal quarter beginning January&nbsp;1, 2006. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS No.&nbsp;123 no longer will be an alternative to financial statement
recognition. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:5%"><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2">The Company expects to follow the &#147;modified
prospective&#148; method of adoption of SFAS 123R whereby earnings for prior periods will not be restated as though stock-based compensation has been expensed, rather than the &#147;modified retrospective&#148; method of adoption which would entail
restatement of previously published earnings. The Company plans to adopt SFAS 123R for its 2006 Fiscal year. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

no compensation cost for employee stock options. Accordingly, the adoption of the SFAS 123R fair value method will impact the Company&#146;s results of operations, although it will have no impact on overall financial position. The impact of adoption
of SFAS 123R will depend on various factors including the achievement of certain performance based incentives as stated in class B restricted stock grants. For the time-based vesting instruments, the Company believes the future impact of SFAS 123R
is likely to approximate the pro forma compensation expense reported under SFAS 123 as described in the disclosure of pro forma net earnings to the Consolidated Financial Statements. For the performance-based vesting instruments, the Company is
unable to determine the future impact of SFAS 123R at this time. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="ARIAL"

Predecessor Company&#146;s stock option plans (see Note 9) gives rise to compensation, which is includable in the taxable income of the optionees and deductible by the Predecessor Company for federal and state income tax purposes. Such compensation
considers increases in the fair value of the Predecessor Company&#146;s common stock subsequent to the date of the grant. For financial reporting purposes, the tax effect of this deduction is accounted for as a credit to additional paid-in capital
rather than as a reduction of income tax expense. Such exercises resulted in a tax benefit to the Predecessor Company of approximately $8.4 million, $1.6 million, and $1.8 million in Fiscal 2005, Fiscal 2004 and Fiscal 2003, respectively.

from a variable rate to a fixed rate in order to hedge against the possibility of rising interest rates during the term of the loan. The fair value of the swap, as of December&nbsp;31, 2005 and January&nbsp;29, 2005 was $11,996 favorable and
$106,000 unfavorable which is included in other assets and long-term liabilities, respectively. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="ARIAL"

for retirement as of February&nbsp;1, 1992 will be required to contribute the amount of premium in excess of $4,200 pre-65 and $2,225 post-65. The plan is not funded. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

against liability incurred in the proceeding if: (1)&nbsp;he conducted himself in good faith; and (2)&nbsp;he reasonably believed (i)&nbsp;in the case of conduct in his official capacity with the corporation, that his conduct was in its best
interests; and (ii)&nbsp;in all other cases, that his conduct was at least not opposed to its best interests; and (3)&nbsp;in the case of any criminal proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. A corporation may pay
for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by a director who is a party to a proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding if: (1)&nbsp;the director furnishes the corporation a written affirmation of his good faith belief
that he has met the standard of conduct described in the preceding sentence; and (2)&nbsp;the director furnishes the corporation an undertaking, executed personally or on his behalf, to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that he did
not meet the standard of conduct; and (3)&nbsp;a determination is made that the facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude indemnification. Unless a corporation&#146;s articles of incorporation provide otherwise, the
corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee or agent of the corporation who is not a director to the same extent as to a director. A corporation may not indemnify a director (x)&nbsp;in connection with a proceeding by or
in the right of the corporation in which the director was adjudged liable to the corporation; or (y)&nbsp;in connection with any other proceeding charging improper personal benefit to him, whether or not involving action in his official capacity, in
which he was adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him. Unless limited by its articles of incorporation, a New Hampshire corporation must indemnify a director or officer who was wholly successful, on the
merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he was a party because he is or was a director or officer of the corporation against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with the proceeding. </FONT></P> <P

may indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents and its former directors, officers, employees and agents and those who serve, at the corporation&#146;s request, in such capacities with another enterprise, against expenses, including
attorneys&#146; fees, as well as judgments, fines and settlements in nonderivative lawsuits, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding in which they or any of them were or are made parties or
are threatened to be made parties by reason of their serving or having served in such capacity. The DGCL provides, however, that such person must have acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to,
the best interests of the corporation and, in the case of a criminal action, such person must have had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In addition, the DGCL does not permit indemnification in an action or suit by or
in the right of the corporation, where such person has been adjudged liable to the corporation, unless, and only to the extent that, a court determines that such person fairly and reasonably is entitled to indemnity for costs the court deems proper.
Indemnity is mandatory to the extent a claim, issue or matter has been successfully defended. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="ARIAL"

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised
that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification
by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions
in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or by such indemnified party, and the parties&#146; relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section&nbsp;6(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the holders or any
agents or underwriters or all of them were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section&nbsp;6(d). The amount paid or payable by
an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in
connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section&nbsp;6(d), no holder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the dollar amount of the proceeds
received by such holder from the sale of any Registrable Securities (after deducting any fees, discounts and commissions applicable thereto) exceeds the amount of any damages which such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such
untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, and no underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Registrable Securities underwritten by it and distributed

generality of the foregoing, it should be noted that on 1&nbsp;July 1997 Hong Kong became the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (the &#147;<B>HKSAR</B>&#148;) of the People&#146;s Republic of China (the &#147;<B>PRC</B>&#148;) and the Basic
Law of HKSAR (the &#147;<B>Basic Law</B>&#148;) adopted on 4&nbsp;April 1990 by the National Peoples&#146; Congress (the &#147;<B>NPC</B>&#148;) of the PRC is now applicable to Hong Kong. Article 8 of the Basic Law provides that the laws previously
in force in Hong Kong, that is, the common law, rules of equity, ordinances, subordinate legislation and customary law shall be maintained, except for any that contravene the Basic Law, and subject to any amendment by the legislature of the HKSAR.
Under Article 160 of the Basic Law, the laws of Hong Kong in force at 30&nbsp;June 1997 were adopted as laws of the HKSAR except for those which the Standing Committee of the NPC (the &#147;<B>Standing Committee</B>&#148;) declared to be in
contravention of the Basic Law. On 23&nbsp;February 1997 the Standing Committee on its 24th sitting decided that the laws previously in force in Hong Kong, including the common law, rules of equity, ordinances, subsidiary legislation and customary
law shall, unless they contravene the Basic Law, be adopted as the laws of the HKSAR. However, the Standing Committee also decided that certain laws and provisions (namely those listed in Schedules 1 and 2 of the decision) will not be so adopted as
they contravene the Basic Law. These unadopted laws however appear to us to have no bearing on those laws of Hong Kong which are relevant to what is stated in this opinion. </FONT></P> <P

legislature on 1&nbsp;July 1997. Section&nbsp;7 of this Ordinance reiterates in essence what is stated in the decision of the Standing Committee, namely: &#147;the laws previously in force in Hong Kong, that is the common law, rules of equity,

<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">subsidiary legislation and customary law, which have been adopted as the laws of the HKSAR, shall continue to apply&#148;. The Hong Kong Reunification
Ordinance also introduced an amendment to the Interpretation and General Clauses Ordinance (Cap. 1 of the Laws of Hong Kong) by inserting a new Article 2A which provides (inter alia) that &#147;all laws previously in force shall be construed with
such modifications, adaptations, limitations and exceptions as may be necessary so as not to contravene the Basic Law and to bring them into conformity with the status of Hong Kong as a Special Administrative Region of the People&#146;s Republic of
China&#148;. The expression &#147;laws previously in force&#148; was defined thereunder to mean &#147;the common law, rules of equity, Ordinances, subsidiary legislation and customary law in force immediately before 1&nbsp;July 1997 and adopted as
laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region&#148;. The laws of Hong Kong which are relevant to what is stated in this opinion do not appear to us to contravene the Basic Law nor do they appear to require any modifications, adaptations,
limitations and exceptions in any material manner in order to bring them in conformity with the status of Hong Kong as a Special Administrative Region of the PRC. Furthermore, we are not aware of any other determination, declaration or decision made
by the Standing Committee or of any other amendment made by the legislature of the HKSAR to those laws of Hong Kong which are relevant to what is stated in this opinion, which would require us to opine otherwise. </FONT></P> <P

broker-dealer who acquires such Exchange Notes directly from Brookstone for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act or any other available exemption under the Securities Act or any such Holder that is an &#147;affiliate&#148; of
Brookstone or of any of the guarantors under the indenture relating to the Notes within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act), without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided
that such Exchange Notes are acquired in the ordinary course of such Holder&#146;s business and such Holder is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, a distribution of such Exchange Notes and has no arrangement with any person to
participate in the distribution of such Exchange Notes. The SEC has not, however, considered the Exchange Offer in the context of a no-action letter, and there can be no assurance that the staff of the SEC would make a similar determination with
respect to the Exchange Offer as in the SEC No-Action Letters. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>
