    For the year ended December 28, 2013

    FOCUS ON STRATEGIC GROWTH IN 2013 since the corporate structure of New Look Eyewear was successfully converted from an income trust back into a publicly listed corporation (TSX: BCI) in March 2010.

    As noted at this time last year, a key focus for New Look in 2013 was strategic growth. With the acquisition

    of Vogue Optical in December and other developments during the year, this was well achieved.

    OVERVIEWHighlights for the year were as follows:

    a) With the acquisition of Vogue Optical, New Look becomes the pre-eminent integrated optical retailer in Qubec, the Atlantic Provinces and Eastern Ontario.

    b) Other initiatives included the acquisition of two strategic independent

    distribution centre in Ville St. Laurent, Qubec.

    c) and invest in independent optical clinics serving markets or market segments not previously served under the New Look or Vogue banners and concluded two such arrangements, one in Qubec and one in Ontario.

    d) Revenues for the year increased by 10.5% to reach a record $91 million. Comparable store sales growth for the year was solid, with a 3% increase over the previous year.

    e) EBITDA(a) for 2013, after adjustment for the expenses of the Vogue and other acquisitions amounted to $16.1 million, a 4.8% increase over last year.

    f) Company was able to maintain a quarterly dividend policy of $0.15 per share ($0.60 per annum).

    The above contributed to a very strong performance in the trading value of New Look Eyewears common shares during the year.

    TRADING PERFORMANCEFrom January 1st through December 31st, the Companys shares traded in the range of $9.16 to $16.05 per share and closed at $15.02. New Looks !Composite Index and the Small Cap Index (TSX Smallcap Index).

    OUTLOOK2014 and beyond holds many challenges and opportunities for the Company. An immediate focus will be on coordinating, for maximum result, the various activities and efforts of New Look and Vogue. Intelligent management of capital resources, capital expenditures, debt repayment and development initiatives will remain a key internal driver through this period.

    The ongoing objective continues to be to build New Looks business, "the business as well as sustainable dividends for its shareholders.

    New Look, with its successful business model, is well positioned to continue to play a key role into the evolution of the eye care industry in Qubec, the Atlantic Provinces, Eastern Ontario and throughout Canada.

    MANAGEMENT TEAM AND BOARD MEMBERSCongratulations are in order for Martial Gagn, Antoine Amiel and the senior management team at New Look Eyewear Inc., Jean-Luc Deschamps, Mario Pageau, France Reimnitz, Caroline Rouleau, Claire Boulanger and Marie-Jose Mercier.

    For the year ended December 28, 2013

    STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENTSJohn has asked me to do an update on strategic factors impacting the retail optical industry and New Looks development outlook. There are currently three major trends underpinning the Canadian optical industry that New Look and Vogue have positioned themselves well to leverage.

    DEMOGRAPHICSThe optical industrys primary growth driver is demographics. Presbyopia, the decreasing ability to focus at reading distance, is a natural part of the eyes aging process and becomes noticeable in the early to mid-"Z?
