Matters discussed in this document and in our public disclosures, whether written or oral, relating to future events or our
future performance, including any discussion, express or implied, of our anticipated growth, operating results, future earnings
per share, or plans and objectives, contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act
of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements are often identified by the words “will,”
“believe,” “positioned, ” “estimate,” “project,” “target,” “continue,” “intend,” “expect,” “future,” “anticipates,” and similar
expressions that are not statements of historical fact. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve
certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Our actual results and timing of certain events could
differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not
limited to, those set forth under ``Risk Factors'' in our Form 10-K’s and Form 10-Q’s, and in our other subsequent public filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such factors include, but are not limited to: risks associated with the
execution of our strategic plan; changes in economic conditions; loss of market share due to competition; changes in our
pension funding obligations; failure to forecast demand or anticipate or respond to changes in consumer tastes and fashion
trends; failure to achieve projected mix of product sales; business failures of large customers; distribution realignments;
manufacturing realignments and cost savings programs; increased reliance on offshore (import) sourcing of various products;
fluctuations in the cost, availability and quality of raw materials; product liability uncertainty; environmental regulations; future
acquisitions; loss of key personnel; impairment of intangible assets; anti-takeover provisions which could result in a decreased
valuation of our common stock; loss of funding sources or our inability to secure additional financing to meet our operating
and capital needs; and our ability to open and operate new retail stores successfully. It is routine for internal projections and
expectations to change as the year or each quarter in the year progresses, and therefore it should be clearly understood that
all forward-looking statements and the internal projections and beliefs upon which we base our expectations included in this
report or other periodic reports are made only as of the date made and may change. While we may elect to update forward-
looking statements at some point in the future, we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Past Retail Strategy Added Legacy Costs
• In 2002, FBN launched a program to open more single-brand stores
• FBN provided either lease guarantees or sub-leases to independent
operators of Lane, Broyhill, Thomasville or Drexel Heritage stores
• Beginning in 2007, FBN abandoned the Lane/Broyhill retail concept
• FBN remains liable for 21 “dark store” leases with a remaining net
expense burden of approximately $13.4 million
Dark Stores
2013 4.9
2014 4.7
2015 2.7
Thereafter 1.1
Total Obligation 13.4$
Dark store expenses are offset by sublease
income. Current income stream is estimated
to be $1.7 in 2013, $1.5mm in 2014,
$0.8mm in 2015 and $0.3mm after 2015.
30
Note: Dark store expenses are offset by sublease income in some cases
Thomasville Lease Roll-off Provides Opportunity
31
As legacy store leases expire, FBN can:
• Renew existing lease at lower, market rates
• Move to a smaller store in a comparable location
• Move to a better location within that market
• Close the store
