PART I



|ITEM 1. | BUSINESS
|------- | --------

General

We are the third largest operator of optical retail stores in the United States as measured by net revenues. We currently operate 408 stores in 36 states, offering a broad assortment of high-quality eyeglasses and other eye care products.
We believe our value oriented pricing strategy differentiates us from our competitors in the optical retail industry. Substantially all of our stores carry between 1,100 and 1,500 different styles of branded, private label and non-branded frames,
which we pair with advanced eyeglass lens and lens treatment technologies and offer to our customers at attractive prices. We provide extensive in-house lens processing capabilities in most of our stores, allowing those stores to offer our customers
one-hour services on most prescriptions. Optometrists located within or adjacent to all of our stores provide convenient eye exams, which we believe results in strong customer loyalty and a consistent source of optical retail customers. We believe
this comprehensive eye care offering, in combination with our value-oriented pricing strategy and marketing tag line Why Pay More?, represents a compelling value proposition to consumers.

Our stores are located primarily in the Southwest, Midwest and Southeast, along the Gulf Coast and Atlantic Coast and in the Pacific Northwest regions of the United
States. Our strategy of clustering stores within targeted markets allows us to build local market leadership and strong consumer brand awareness, as well as achieve economies of scale in advertising and field management. We believe that we hold
either the number one or two market share position as measured by net revenues in each of our top 10 markets, compromised of Washington, D.C., Houston, Dallas, Louisville, Phoenix, Tampa/St. Petersburg, Nashville, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Milwaukee and
Atlanta.

In December 2004, Thomas H. Lee Partners agreed to sell all of its equity interests in us to ECCA Holdings Corporation (ECCA
Holdings), a company controlled by Moulin Global Eyecare Holdings Limited (provisional liquidators appointed), which we refer to as Moulin, and Golden Gate Capital, which we refer to as Golden Gate (the GGC Moulin Acquisition) for
a purchase price of $458.1 million. In this filing, a reference to Moulin shall, where applicable, include Offer High Investments, Ltd., a subsidiary of Moulin. Upon consummation of the GCC Moulin Acquisition in March 2005, we became a wholly owned
subsidiary of ECCA Holdings.

On April 25, 2006, HVHC Inc. (HVHC), a subsidiary of Highmark Inc. (Highmark), and ECCA
Holdings Corporation entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) pursuant to which ECCA Holdings was merged with a wholly-owned subsidiary of HVHC, with ECCA Holdings being the surviving corporation and becoming a
wholly-owned subsidiary of HVHC (the Highmark Acquisition). Eye Care Centers of America, Inc. is owned by ECCA Holdings and as a result of the merger became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Highmark. The transaction closed on
August 1, 2006. The aggregate merger consideration paid to the shareholders of ECCA Holdings to redeem all common stock consisted of $308.6 million in cash. Approximately $8.6 million in fees were incurred related to the acquisition, resulting
in a total purchase price of $317.2 million. We obtained a waiver on our New Credit Facility for the change of control provisions related to the Merger Agreement. In addition, we concluded a mandatory change of control offer on our Notes (defined
later in this document) on August 11, 2006 without any redemptions.

Through its investment in us and combined with its other two vision subsidiaries,
Davis Vision and Viva Optique, HVHC has a comprehensive offering of optical retail products, vision benefits and services, and the design and distribution of eyewear. From its path of vertical integration and through its three vision subsidiaries,
HVHC had combined revenue exceeding $1.0 billion in 2007.

On October 29, 2007, we announced the retirement of David McComas as Chief Executive
Officer effective December 31, 2007. On November 1, 2007, David Holmberg became our Chief Executive Officer  Elect and on January 1, 2008, Mr. Holmberg became our Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Holmberg formerly was
Executive Vice President of Operations for Jo-Ann Stores, Inc. (JAS). His previous experience includes three years as President, Cole Licensed Businesses, a provider of retail optical services for Sears Optical, Target Optical, and Pearle Vision
Canada, based in Cleveland. In addition, Mr. Holmberg held several key management positions at Zales Corporation (ZLC) in Dallas including Executive Vice President, Zale U.S., and President, Zale Canada.

Eye Care Centers of America, Inc. is incorporated in Texas. Our principal executive offices are located at 11103 West Avenue, San Antonio, Texas 78213-1392 and our
telephone number at that address is (210) 340-3531.

Our competitive strengths

We believe we have the following competitive strengths:

Differentiated value strategy. We believe our value
strategy, which combines our comprehensive service with a broad product selection and low prices, helps to distinguish us from our competition. We believe we offer a broader product selection, lower prices and faster turnaround time than independent
optometrists, and a broader product selection, faster turnaround time, better-trained customer service professionals and better doctor availability than mass merchandisers and warehouse clubs. Substantially all of our stores feature between 600 and
800 different styles of high-quality branded, private label and non-branded frames, with between 1,500 and 2,000 stock-keeping units, which we believe represent two to three times the assortment typically provided by independent practitioners, mass
merchandisers and warehouse clubs. We focus our marketing efforts around the tag line Why Pay More? and have

implemented a value-oriented pricing strategy concentrating primarily on private label and non-branded frames, which has resulted in an increase in the
volume of private label and non-branded frames to 79.2% of our units sold in fiscal 2007 from 65.5% in fiscal 2001.

Comprehensive service offering.
We provide an integrated, comprehensive service offering in our optical retail stores through our proximity to optometrists, our well-trained employees and our in-house lens processing capabilities. In our experience, the location of optometrists
within or adjacent to each of our stores is attractive to our customers because of the convenience it provides, and also benefits us by providing consistent customer traffic and high levels of customer loyalty. In 2007, we believe that over 68% of
these optometrists regular eye exam patients purchased eyewear from our optical retail stores. We also provide extensive training to our employees to maximize productivity of our lab professionals and to ensure that our in-store customer
service professionals can advise customers effectively in choosing among our broad frame selection and wide range of value-added products, including technologies such as specialty lenses and lens treatments. The final component of our service
offering is our extensive in-house lens processing capabilities, which we provide in 83% of our store locations, allowing those stores to process most prescriptions within one hour. Our remaining stores utilize our centralized lab located in San
Antonio, Texas, which is typically able to process and return glasses within three to five days.

Diverse geographic presence with a leading competitive
position. We are the third largest operator of optical retail stores in the United States as measured by revenue. We currently operate 406 stores in 36 states, and conduct business under nine regional trade names. We believe all of our trade
names have strong, established brand awareness among customers in their respective markets driven by our differentiated value strategy and targeted regional marketing. We believe this has given us either the number one or two market share position
in each of our top 10 markets as measured by net revenues. Our broad geographic reach also makes us an attractive partner for managed vision care providers who seek retailers that deliver superior customer service, have strong local brand awareness,
offer competitive prices, provide multiple convenient locations with flexible hours of operation and possess sophisticated management information and billing systems. In addition, we believe our geographic diversification enhances our cash flow
stability because we are less vulnerable to slow downs in customer traffic and sales due to local economic conditions or weather.

Affiliation with
HVHC.We are achieving and continuing to pursue opportunities from our relationship with our sister companies owned by HVHC. Davis Vision has the ability to sell managed care vision benefits and services throughout the country. Our stores are
benefiting through increased participation on the Davis managed care network. Viva Optique is a frame wholesaler and is a licensee for several major brand names such as Guess, Tommy Hilfiger and Gant. We are leveraging their expertise in sourcing
branded product in our stores. We are also leveraging our combined HVHC purchasing strength to achieve savings, the first of which has been product purchasing which has resulted in anticipated savings of $8.0 million over 2008 and 2009 for the HVHC
group as whole.

Favorable industry trends. Our industry is characterized by stable demand. The medical and nondiscretionary nature of eye care
purchases provides optical retailers with a consistent source of customers and moderate seasonal fluctuations. Over the period from 2003 to 2007, the optical retail industry grew from $24.1 billion to $25.6 billion according to Jobson Optical
Research (Jobson), with growth in each year. However, as a result of customers desire for broad product selection, convenience, strong customer service and competitive prices, the largest optical retailers have gained market share
at the expense of independent practitioners. For example, the total market share of the 10 largest optical retailers in the United States as measured by revenue increased from 20.6% in 2003 to 22.0% in 2006.

Stable financial performance. Our net revenues have increased from $237.9 million in fiscal 1999 to $477.8 million
in fiscal 2007, or 100.8%. In the same period, our comparable store sales increased at an average of 2.7% per year, and for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2007 our comparable store sales increased by 5.7%. Historical financial
performance is not necessarily indicative of future financial performance.

Experienced management team. Our senior management team has an average
of 27 years of experience in the retail industry and an average of nine years of experience in the optical retail industry, and has worked together at ECCA since 1998, with the exception of James J. Denny, our Chief Operating Officer, who joined us
in 2003 and David L. Holmberg, our Chief Executive Officer, who joined us in 2007. In 2001, our senior management team initiated our current value strategy across all of our stores, which has helped grow our net revenues while maintaining stable
operating margins. Management has also reduced overhead and working capital levels, which has enabled us to consistently reduce our debt levels. In addition, because we have operated in a high-leverage environment since 1993, our management team has
a strong track record of managing our company to generate cash flows for debt repayment.

Our business strategy

Our business strategy consists of the following:

Execute on sourcing
initiative.As of December 31, 2004, we purchased 100% of our frames from U.S.-based distributors, despite the fact that the value and private label frames we purchased were primarily manufactured in China. In late 2004, we commenced an
internal initiative to purchase frames directly from Chinese manufacturers. We currently source almost all our value and private label product directly from suppliers in China. We continue to achieve significant cost savings through our
merchandising initiatives and by purchasing directly from sources in China.

Pursue selective store base expansion opportunities. We intend to
continue our disciplined new store-opening program to take advantage of opportunities to improve our competitive position in our existing markets and potentially to enter attractive new markets where we believe we can achieve a leading market share
position. In managing our store base, we use a site selection model utilizing proprietary software, which incorporates industry and internally generated data (such as competitive market factors, demographics and customer specific information) to
evaluate the attractiveness of new store openings. In general, our new stores require low capital expenditures to outfit and open, reducing the risk of our new store-opening program. In 2006, we opened fourteen new stores. In 2007, we opened
twenty-five new stores. Consistent with our strategic objectives, management believes the opportunity exists to open approximately 25 new stores in both 2008 and 2009 in existing and new markets. Our 2008 and 2009 new market openings will focus
primarily in the Chicago area, where we plan to open ten stores in 2008 and an additional five in 2009.

Capitalize on managed vision care plans. We
primarily participate in fee-for-service funded managed vision care plans, from which we receive set fees for services provided to participants of a plan. As part of our ongoing efforts to further develop our managed vision care business,
(i) we have developed significant relationships with insurance companies, which have resulted in our participation as an authorized provider for numerous regional and national managed vision

care plans and (ii) we have implemented information systems necessary to compete for managed vision care business. While the average ticket price on
products purchased under a managed vision care plan is typically slightly lower than a non-managed vision care sale, we believe managed vision care plan transactions generally earn comparable operating profit margins as they require less promotional
spending and advertising support. We believe that the increased volume resulting from managed vision care plans also compensates for the lower average ticket price. We believe that managed vision care will continue to benefit large optical retail
chains like us that have strong local market shares, broad geographic coverage and sophisticated management information and billing systems. Optical sales from managed vision care plans totaled 30% of our optical sales for the fiscal year ended
December 29, 2007, compared to approximately 20% in 1997.

Store operations

Overview. As of March 1, 2008, we operated 408 stores in 36 states under separate trade names in each of our local markets, including EyeMasters, Visionworks, Doctors
Vision Works, Vision World, Dr. Bizers VisionWorld, Dr. Bizers ValuVision, Doctors ValuVision, Hour Eyes, Stein Optical, Eye DRx and
Binyons. Our stores are located primarily in the Southwest, Midwest and Southeast, along the Gulf Coast and Atlantic Coast and in the Pacific Northwest regions of the United States. Our strategy of clustering our stores within
targeted geographic markets has allowed us to build local market leadership and strong consumer brand awareness, as well as achieve economies of scale in advertising, management and overhead. Historically, optical retail chains that have changed
their trade names after an acquisition have suffered a loss in revenues. We believe changing the names under which our stores operate in each market could result in a significant loss of customer traffic. As a result, we have maintained distinct
trade names in the local markets in which we operate.

While all of our stores sell frames and lenses, we operate various store formats. Our superstores
carry a broad product offering, have an optometrist adjacent to or within the store and have in-house lens processing capabilities. Our conventional stores, which are generally smaller than our superstores, also carry a broad product offering and
have an optometrist adjacent to or within the store, but either have more limited or no in-house lens processing capabilities. As of March 1, 2008, we operated 338 superstores and 68 conventional stores.

As a result of our targeted approach to local markets, we believe that we hold a leading market position in all of
our top 10 markets. We estimate that our market share ranking is either number one or two in each of these markets. The following table sets forth our top 10 markets as measured by our net revenues as of December 29, 2007.

Locations. We believe that the location of our stores is an essential element of our strategy to compete
effectively in the optical retail market. We emphasize locations within regional shopping malls, strip shopping centers, power centers (which are strip shopping centers anchored by leading national retailers) and freestanding locations. We generally
target retail space that is close to high volume retail anchor stores. Of our 408 stores, 204 are located in enclosed regional malls, 145 are in power or strip shopping centers and 59 are freestanding locations.

Store layout and design. The average size of our stores is approximately 4,050 square feet. We have recently developed and implemented a smaller and more
efficient new store prototype, which ranges in size from approximately 2,800 square feet to 3,500 square feet depending upon the optometrists location within the store or in an adjacent location. Our new store prototype typically has
approximately 450 square feet dedicated to the in-house lens processing area and 1,750 square feet devoted to product display and fitting areas. The optometrists office is generally 600 square feet if located within the store or 1,300 square
feet if located adjacent to the store. Each store follows a uniform merchandise layout plan with the frames organized by gender suitability and frame style. Frames are displayed in self-serve cases along the walls and on tabletops located throughout
the store. We believe our self-serve displays are more effective and customer friendly, and enhance the customers shopping experience compared to the locked glass cases or under-shelf trays used by some of our competitors. Above the display
racks are photographs of men and women wearing our eyeglasses which are designed to help customers coordinate frame shape and color with their facial features. In-store displays and signs are rotated periodically to emphasize key vendors and new
styles.

In-house lens processing. We offer extensive in-house lens processing capabilities in 83% of our store locations, which allows those stores
to process most prescriptions within one hour. Lens processing involves grinding, coating and edging lenses. Each of our superstores has a full-service in-house lens-processing laboratory of approximately 450 square feet, which allows each
superstore to process 80% to 85% of its prescriptions in one hour or less. Our conventional stores generally have smaller in-house lens processing laboratories with more limited capabilities. Our stores without in-house lens processing capabilities
utilize our main laboratory in San Antonio, Texas, which has a typical turnaround of three to five days and also fills unusual or difficult prescriptions from all of our stores.

In-house optometrist. Adjacent to or within all of our stores is an optometrist who performs eye examinations and
in some cases dispenses contact lenses. The optometrists generally have the same operating hours as our stores. The optometrists offer customers convenient eye exams and provide a consistent source of optical retail customers. In 2007, we believe
that over 68% of these optometrists regular eye exam patients purchased eyewear from our adjacent optical retail stores. In addition, we believe proficient optometrists help to generate repeat customers and reinforce the quality and
professionalism of each store.

To comply with various applicable state optometric laws related to the control of the practitioners of optometry, we have a
variety of operating structures and financial reporting requirements. Generally, the applicable optometric and other laws and regulations governing the practice of optometry prohibit or restrict us from controlling the professional practice of the
optometrist or the professional corporations or other entities controlled by optometrists, which we refer to as OD PCs (e.g., scheduling, employment of optometrists, protocols, examination fees and other matters requiring the professional judgment
of the optometrist). See Government regulation.

At 299 of our 408 stores, including the 67 OD PC-owned stores, the optometrists operate
optometry independently, and at the remaining 109 stores, the optometrists are our employees or independent contractors.



| |  |  | At 188 of our stores, the optometrists operate independently from us and lease space within or adjacent to each store to operate their eye examination practices. At
133 of these locations that operate within or adjacent to our EyeMasters stores we license the use of our trademark Master Eye Associates to the optometrists. At the other 55 locations the optometrists operate under their own trade
names. Most of these independent optometrists pay us monthly rent consisting of a percentage of gross receipts or base rental, and those that use our trademark also pay us a licensing fee. For these locations, we consolidate only the results of the
optical retail stores.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | At 44 of our stores, the optometrists operate independently from us and lease space within or adjacent to each store to operate their eye examination practice, and
we provide management services to the optometrists professional eye exam practice for which we receive a management fee under long-term management agreements. For these locations, we consolidate both the results of the optical retail stores
and the results of the optometrists professional practices.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 67 of our stores are owned by an OD PC. Each OD PC owns both the retail store and the professional eye examination practice. Each OD PC employs the optometrists and
we provide management services to these stores (including the retail store and the professional practice) under long-term management agreements. The fees we earn under the long-term management agreements approximate substantially all of the cash
flows from the OD PCs. Under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we are required to consolidate the results of 54 of these stores with the results of our 340 directly-owned stores. The remaining 13 stores are not
consolidated and we recognize as management fee revenue only the cash flows we earn pursuant to the terms of the management agreements for those 13 OD PC-operated stores. At most of these locations, we lease the premises to the OD PC and provide the
staff (other than the optometrists), furniture, fixtures and equipment. We have an option to purchase the OD PC (or its assets) utilizing an agreed upon calculation to determine the purchase price. As of December 29, 2007, these prices in the
aggregate were approximately $6.9 million. The long-term management agreements specifically prohibit us from engaging in activities that would constitute controlling the OD PCs practice under state optometric law and reserve such rights and
duties for the OD PC.

Store management. Each store has an operating plan that
dictates appropriate staffing levels to maximize store profitability. In addition, a general manager is responsible for the day-to-day operations of each store. At higher volume stores, a retail manager supervises the merchandising area and the
eyewear specialists. A lab manager trains the lab technicians and supervises eyewear manufacturing. Sales associates are trained to assist customers in making purchase decisions. The stores are open during normal retail hours, typically 10 a.m. to 9
p.m., Monday through Saturday and 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Sundays. Each major market is supervised by a territory director who is responsible for 10 to 20 stores. A portion of each store managers and territory directors compensation
is based on sales and profitability at their stores, as well as the results of customer satisfaction surveys, as described below.

Customer satisfaction
surveys. We place a high value on customer service and monitor it by location and sales associate through the use of customer satisfaction surveys. Each month, we mail out customer satisfaction surveys to 40,000 to 60,000 of our customers who
have purchased eyeglasses or contact lenses. The surveys consist of 10 questions relating to topics that we believe are critical to customer service. We receive 4,000 to 6,000 responses to the surveys each month and compile the results into a
monthly performance report. The report describes the results of the survey for each region, territory, store and sales associate. We use these results to evaluate employee performance, and the results are integral to our decisions with respect to
management bonuses and promotion. We believe that the stores that integrate the data collected through the surveys into their daily operations realize increased customer satisfaction, retention and referrals.

Merchandising

Our merchandising strategy is to offer our customers a
wide selection of high-quality and fashionable frames, with particular emphasis on offering a broad selection of competitively priced branded, private label and non-branded frames. Our product offering is supported by strong customer service and
retail promotion. The key elements of our merchandising strategy are described below.

Breadth and depth of selection. Our stores offer customers
high-quality frames, lenses, contact lenses, accessories and sunglasses, including branded, private label and non-branded frames. Frame assortments are tailored to match the demographic composition of each stores market. Substantially all of
our stores feature between 2,300 and 3,000 stock-keeping units with between 1,000 and 1,500 different styles of frames. We believe these inventory levels represent two to three times the assortment typically provided by independent practitioners,
mass merchandisers, warehouse clubs and other smaller optical retailers. Approximately 21% of our frame inventory consists of national brand names such as Nine West, Polo/Ralph Lauren, Guess, Eddie Bauer and Laura Ashley, or branded frames, with an
additional 28% manufactured specifically for us under our proprietary brands, or private label frames. The balance of our frame inventory is comprised of frames that have no brand, or non-branded frames. We believe that our broad selection of
high-quality, lower-priced private label and non-branded frames allows us to offer more value to customers while improving our gross margin. In addition, we offer customers a wide variety of value-added eyewear features and services which generate
higher gross margins. These include thinner and lighter lenses, progressive lenses and custom lens features, such as tinting, anti-reflective coatings, scratch-resistant coatings, ultra-violet protection and edge polishing.

Pricing strategy. Our frames and lenses are generally comparably priced or priced lower than our optical retail
chain competitors, with prices varying based on geographic region. We employ a comprehensive pricing strategy on a wide selection of frames and/or lenses, offering discounts and buy one, get one free promotions and a promotion of two
complete pairs of single vision eyewear for $99. While the pricing strategy is fairly common for optical retail chains, independent optometric practitioners tend to offer fewer promotions and mass merchandisers generally adhere to an every day
low price strategy.

Marketing

We actively
support our stores with frequent local advertising in individual markets. Advertising expenditures totaled $40.0 million, or 8.4% of net revenues, in fiscal 2007. We generally expect advertising expenditures to remain consistent as a percentage of
net revenues. We utilize a variety of advertising media and promotions in order to establish our image as a high-quality, cost competitive eyewear provider with a broad product offering. Our brand positioning is supported by a marketing campaign,
which features the phrase Why Pay More?. In addition, we believe that our strategy of clustering stores in each targeted market area maximizes the benefit of our advertising expenditures.

Managed vision care

Managed vision care has grown in importance in
the optical retail industry. Health insurers have sought a competitive advantage by offering a full range of health insurance options, including coverage of primary eye care. Due to the benefits offered by managed vision care plans, including
routine annual eye examinations and eyewear (or discounts on eyewear), managed vision care plans are utilized by a growing number of consumers. Since regular eye examinations may assist in the identification and prevention of more serious
conditions, managed vision care plans encourage members to have their eyes examined more regularly, which in turn typically results in more frequent eyewear replacement. We have historically found that managed vision care participants who take
advantage of the eye exam benefit under the managed vision care plan have typically had their prescriptions filled at adjacent optical stores and are a strong source of repeat business.

Managed vision care plans include funded managed vision care plans and discount managed vision care plans. Funded managed vision care plans include fee-for-service insurance contracts, under which the provider
receives set fees for services provided, and capitated insurance contracts, under which the provider receives a set fee per participant. We do not pursue capitated insurance contracts. Discount managed vision care plans consist of relationships
under which participants receive an agreed upon discount on products and services provided. The typical managed vision care benefit covers an annual wellness exam and eyeglasses (or discounts for eyeglasses), while treatment of eye diseases is not
covered. Even though managed vision care plans typically limit coverage to a certain dollar amount or discount for an eyewear purchase, the members eyewear benefit generally allows the member to contribute his or her own money to purchase more
expensive glasses, or trade up. We believe that the growing consumer perception of eyewear as a fashion accessory, as well as the consumers historical practice of paying for eyewear purchases out-of-pocket, contributes to the
frequency of trading-up.

##### Table of Contents

We believe that the role of managed vision care will continue to benefit us and other large optical retail chains. We
believe that managed vision care is likely to accelerate industry consolidation as payors look to contract with large optical retail chains that have brand awareness, offer competitive prices, provide multiple convenient locations and convenient
hours of operation and possess sophisticated management information and billing systems. We believe that large optical retail chains are well positioned to capitalize on this trend because we believe that the everyday low price model employed by
warehouse clubs and mass merchandisers and the resulting low margins are not compatible with discounts to listed retail prices currently required to participate in managed vision care plans.

As part of our ongoing effort to further develop our managed vision care business, we have (i) developed significant relationships with insurance companies, which
has resulted in our participation as an authorized provider on numerous regional and national managed vision care plans, and (ii) we have implemented information systems necessary to compete for fee-for-service funded managed vision care
business. We have made a strategic decision to pursue fee-for-service funded managed vision care plans rather than discount programs because we believe this strategy offers better growth potential. For the fiscal year ended December 29, 2007,
30% of our net revenues were derived from managed vision care plans. We believe our total managed vision care business will continue to account for approximately 30% of sales going forward, with the percentage attributable to funded programs
increasing as net revenues from discount programs decline. None of our managed vision care plans account for 10% or more of our revenues.

Included in our
managed vision care plans are affinity plans and Medicare and Medicaid. Affinity plans are established with organizations and, like discount managed vision care plans, provide members of such organization with a set discount on eye care products.
Medicare and Medicaid are government funded medical assistance plans. Affinity plans, Medicare and Medicaid are a small and declining part of our business.

While the average ticket price on products purchased under managed vision care plans is typically lower, managed vision care plan transactions generally earn comparable operating profit margins as they require less promotional spending and
advertising support. We believe that the increased volume resulting from managed vision care plans also compensates for the lower average ticket price.

Vendors

We have developed strategic relationships with key vendors, resulting in improved service and payment terms. We purchase a majority
of our lenses from five principal vendors. In fiscal 2007, two vendors supplied over 61% of our lens materials. While these vendors supplied a significant share of the lenses used by us, lenses are a generic product and can be purchased from a
number of other vendors on comparable terms. We do not believe that we are dependent on these vendors or any other single vendor for lenses. We purchase frames from over 9 different vendors. In fiscal 2007, five vendors collectively supplied
approximately 67% of our frames. Private label and non-branded frames can be sourced from multiple vendors, whereas any particular branded frame can only be obtained from a single vendor. We are not dependent on a single vendor of branded frames
and, if necessary, we believe we could replace any of our branded frames with alternative brands available from different vendors. We believe that our relationships with our existing vendors are satisfactory and that significant disruption in the
delivery of merchandise from one or more of our current principal vendors would not have a material adverse effect on our operations.

Competition

The
optical retail industry is fragmented and highly competitive. We compete with (i) independent practitioners (including opticians, optometrists and ophthalmologists who operate an optical dispensary within their practice), (ii) other
optical retail chains and (iii) mass merchandisers and warehouse clubs. We compete on the basis of our differentiated value strategy, which combines product selection, customer service and speed of delivery at competitive prices. Our largest
optical retail chain competitors are LensCrafters and Cole National Corporation (Pearle Vision and Cole Licensed Brands), which are both owned by Luxottica Group SpA and had combined sales of approximately $2.6 billion in 2006. Our largest mass
merchandiser competitor is Wal-Mart, which had sales of approximately $1.3 billion from its optical retail outlets in 2006. We also compete with practitioners offering corrective eye surgery procedures such as Laser-Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis,
or LASIK, which was introduced in 1996 as an alternative to eyeglasses and contacts.

Government regulation

The availability of professional optometry services within or adjacent to our stores is critical to our business. In addition, we employ opticians at our stores to assist
in dispensing eyeglasses and other optical goods. The delivery of health care, including the relationships between optical retailers and health care providers such as optometrists and opticians, is subject to extensive federal and state regulation.
Our relationships with optometrists are subject to these laws and regulations.

We believe our operations are in material compliance with federal and state
laws and regulations. However, these laws and regulations are subject to interpretation and amendment, and a finding that we are not in compliance could have a material adverse effect upon our revenues and cash flows. We cannot predict the impact of
future developments or changes to the regulatory environment or the impact such developments or changes would have on our operations, our compliance costs, our relationships with optometrists or the implementation of our business plan. Regulation of
the healthcare industry is constantly changing, which affects our opportunities, competition and other aspects of our business. From time to time we receive inquiries from state optometric boards and other regulatory authorities surrounding our
corporate practices. Because the nature of these inquiries are fact and circumstance specific, we review and respond to such inquiries as necessary based upon the given facts and circumstances.

State optometric laws. The laws and regulations governing the relationship between optometrists and optical retailers vary from state to state and are enforced by
both courts and regulatory authorities, each with broad discretion. In certain circumstances, private parties may also be able to bring actions for violations of these laws and regulations. Except in states which allow us to employ optometrists, the
state optometric laws generally prohibit us from controlling the practice of optometry or from practicing optometry, which may include, among other things, exercising control over practice hours, patient scheduling, employment of
optometrists, protocols, examination fees and other matters requiring the professional judgment of the optometrist. In most states where we are located, the activities constituting control or the practice of optometry are not described or enumerated
in the statutes or the regulations and there is limited written guidance issued by the applicable regulatory authorities, resulting in uncertainty as to the proper interpretation and application of such laws and regulations. Additionally, many
states have laws protecting the confidentiality of patients records and other specific restrictions

##### Table of Contents

and requirements applicable to the relationships between optometrists and optical retailers. For instance, some states require that a wall separate the
optometrists office from the optical retail store, while other states may simply require that signage and the location of the optometric practice clearly indicate that the optometrist is independent.

We have the following operating structures in place to address these and other regulatory issues:



| |  |  | At 232 of our stores, the optometrists are independent optometrists, who sublease space within or adjacent to each store to operate their eye examination practices
and pay us monthly rent consisting of a percentage of gross receipts or base rental. The subleases contain standard provisions that would be common in most landlord/tenant relationships, but also include certain provisions that are unique to the
optical retailer/optometrist relationship, including restrictions on selling optical goods and maintaining licensing. Substantially all of our subleases with the optometrists located within or adjacent to our stores are for a term of one year. We
also license the use of our trademark Master Eye Associates at the 133 locations operating within or adjacent to our EyeMasters stores. Some of these licenses are royalty free, while others contain a license fee based on a percentage of
gross receipts. At 44 of these stores, we also provide management services to the optometrists professional eye exam practice for a management fee. The management agreements specifically prohibit us from engaging in activities that would
constitute controlling the optometrists practice for state law purposes and reserve such rights and duties to the optometrist.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 67 of our stores are owned by an OD PC. Each OD PC owns both the retail store and the professional eye examination practice. Each OD PC employs the optometrists and
we provide management services to these stores (including the retail store and the professional practice) under long-term management agreements. At most of these locations, we provide the leased premises, staff (other than the optometrists),
furniture, fixtures and equipment. In addition, we have an option to purchase the OD PC (or its assets) utilizing an agreed upon calculation to determine the purchase price. The long-term management agreements specifically prohibit us from engaging
in activities that would constitute controlling the OD PCs practice for state law purposes and reserve such rights and duties for the OD PC. In the event that, among other things, any of these relationships are found not to comply with state
optometric law, state optometric law makes these relationships economically less advantageous or if we experience certain events of bankruptcy, these long-term management agreements may be terminated at the option of the respective OD PCs.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | At 109 of our stores, the optometrists are our employees or are independent contractors.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

See Store operations-In-house optometrist for more information.

Courts and regulatory authorities are likely to look at all of the agreements relating to our operating structures and the actual day-to-day operating procedures employed at each store location. While we regularly review our arrangements
with optometrists and our operating procedures for compliance with applicable laws and regulations, we have not requested, and have not received, from any governmental agency any advisory opinion finding that such relationships are in compliance
with applicable laws and regulations, and it is possible that any of these relationships may be found not to comply with such laws and regulations. Upon contact with the boards, we review the specifics of the inquiries and ensure that our actions
are either further explained to the boards satisfaction or we cease the practice or advertisement. For example, a court or regulatory authority could conclude that our relationships and our operations result in

##### Table of Contents

the improper control of an optometric practice or otherwise do not comply with applicable laws and regulations. Violations of these laws and regulations may
result in censure or delicensing of optometrists, substantial civil or criminal damages and penalties, including penalties, double and triple monetary damages and, in the case of violations of federal laws and regulations, exclusion from the
Medicare and Medicaid programs, or other sanctions. In addition, a determination in any state that we are controlling an optometric practice or engaged in the corporate practice of medicine or any unlawful fee-splitting arrangement could render any
sublease, management or service agreement between us and optometrists located in such state unenforceable or subject to modification, or necessitate a buyout of an OD PC.

Fraud and abuse and anti-referral laws. We and the optometrists with whom we have relationships receive payments from the federal Medicare and the federal and state Medicaid programs for certain goods and
services. The Medicare and Medicaid fraud and abuse provisions and the anti-kickback laws and regulations adopted in many states prohibit the solicitation, payment, receipt, or offering of any direct or indirect remuneration in return for, or as an
inducement to, certain referrals of patients, items or services. Provisions of the federal law also impose significant penalties for false or improper billings to Medicare and Medicaid, and many states have adopted similar laws applicable to any
payor of health care services. This law has been interpreted broadly by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the Office of Inspector General in the Department of Health and Human Services (OIG), and the Justice Department, as well as the
State Medicaid Fraud Control Units. Courts have generally upheld a broad interpretation of the law. Consequently, the law has been interpreted by regulatory authorities to prohibit the payment of anything of value if any purpose of the payment is to
influence the referral of Medicare or Medicaid business. Therefore, many commonplace commercial transactions, such as the rental of office space, between providers and referral sources, can be subject to Medicare and Medicaid fraud and abuse
provisions or the anti-kickback laws and regulations adopted in many states.

The OIG has from time to time promulgated so-called Safe Harbor
regulations that specify categories of activities that are deemed permissible under the fraud and abuse laws, despite the fact that the activities might otherwise constitute technical violations. Currently, there are safe harbors for a number of
commercial activities between providers and referral sources, including, but not limited to: investment interests, space and equipment rental, personal services agreements, and management contracts. The fact that conduct or a business arrangement
does not fall within a specific safe harbor will not automatically render the conduct or arrangement unlawful. There is a risk, however, that the conduct or arrangement will be subjected to increased scrutiny.

As indicated above, we have certain business arrangements with optometrists, including space rental agreements and administrative services and long-term management
agreements. We attempt to structure these arrangements to ensure that these financial relationships take advantage of safe harbor protection where possible, and, if not, that the arrangements are commercially reasonable and in no way valued on the
basis of a flow of business between us and the optometrists. We also attempt to structure the referral relationships generally with our independent optometrists, so as to further limit the possibility of a violation. Nonetheless, we cannot guarantee
that such relationships could not be found to be a violation of the Medicare or Medicaid fraud and abuse laws or the anti-kickback laws and regulations adopted in many states. Such a determination could subject us and our independent optometrists to
the risk of criminal penalties and fines, civil monetary penalties, and exclusion from participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs, and other federal health care programs, for a number of years.

In addition, the Stark Self-Referral Law (the Stark Law) imposes restrictions on physicians referrals
for designated health services reimbursable by Medicare or Medicaid to entities with which the physicians have financial relationships, including the rental of space, if certain requirements have not been satisfied. Many states have adopted similar
self-referral laws which are not limited to Medicare or Medicaid reimbursed services. We seek to structure our financial relationships with independent optometrists to meet certain specified exceptions set out in the Stark Law and regulations,
including those related to space rental and personal service and long-term management agreements. Further, as a result of this law, at our stores with independent optometrists within or adjacent to our stores, we do not (i) refer customers to
the independent optometrists located within or adjacent to our stores, or (ii) request such independent optometrists to refer their patients to our stores. Violations of any of these laws may result in substantial civil or criminal penalties,
including double and treble civil monetary penalties, and, in the case of violations of federal laws, exclusion from participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs.

Licensure of opticians. We must obtain licenses or certifications to operate our business in certain states. To obtain and maintain such licenses, we must satisfy certain licensure standards. In addition, we
employ opticians in our stores to assist in dispensing eyeglasses and other optical goods. The laws and regulations governing opticians and their relationship with optical retailers vary from state to state. Some states require a licensed optician
to be on the premises, while other states do not require licensed opticians or permit the licensed optician (or an optometrist) to supervise other unlicensed opticians. Generally, licensed opticians demand a higher salary so we staff our stores with
unlicensed opticians as permitted by applicable law. We regularly review the applicable laws governing the opticians.

Insurance licensure. Most
states impose strict licensure requirements on health insurance companies, HMOs and other companies that engage in the business of insurance. In the event that we are required to become licensed under these laws, the licensure process can be lengthy
and time consuming. In addition, many of the licensing requirements mandate strict financial and other requirements which we may not be able to meet.

Any willing provider laws. Some states have adopted, and others are considering, legislation that requires managed vision care payors to include any provider who is willing to abide by the terms of the managed vision care
payors contracts and/or prohibit termination of providers without cause. These types of laws limit our ability to develop effective managed vision care provider networks in such states.

Antitrust laws. We are subject to a range of antitrust laws that prohibit anti-competitive conduct, including price-fixing, concerted refusals to deal and
divisions of markets. There may be a challenge to our operations on the basis of an antitrust violation in the future.

HIPAA. The Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) covers a variety of subjects which impact our businesses and the business of the optometrists. Some of those subjects include the privacy of patient health care information, the security
of such information and the standardization of electronic data transactions for purposes of medical billing. The Department of Health and Human Services promulgated HIPAA regulations which became effective during 2003. We have devoted, and continue
to devote, resources to implement operating procedures within the stores and the corporate office to ensure compliance with the HIPAA regulations, and we believe we are in compliance with the privacy provisions of the law that became effective in
April 2003. Violations of HIPAA may result in substantial criminal and civil penalties.

Advertising. The laws and regulations governing advertising in general, and with respect to optometrist and
optical retailers in particular, vary from state to state and are also governed by various federal regulations, including regulations promulgated by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Many states prohibit an optometrist from allowing
his or her name to be directly or indirectly used by a commercial or mercantile establishment in advertising for that establishment. The optometric laws of some states also restrict our ability to advertise for independent optometrists subleasing
space from us. While our advertisements generally include the name, address and telephone numbers of the optometrists located within or adjacent to our stores, in many states we are restricted from providing additional information, such as the cost
of the eye examination, or offering promotions tied to the performance of optometric services. Additionally, the FTC has promulgated regulations which limit the frequency of free offers in order to avoid potential deceptive advertising.
While we believe that our advertising practices are in compliance with applicable state and federal laws, courts and regulatory agencies could conclude that our advertising practices do not comply with applicable laws and regulations.

Optical retail industry

We operate in the U.S. optical retail industry, which generated $25.6 billion in sales in 2007.

The following chart sets forth expenditures
(based upon products sold) in the optical retail market over the decade 2003 to 2007, based on Jobson research reports:

We believe that the optical retail market is characterized by the following trends:



| |  |  | Favorable demographics. As of 2007, approximately 75% of the U.S. population age 18 and over (or more than 170 million individuals), including 94% of
people over the age of 55, required some form of corrective eyewear. In addition to their higher utilization of corrective eyewear, the over-55 segment spends more per pair of glasses purchased due to their need for premium priced products like
bifocals and progressive lenses and their generally higher levels of discretionary income. As the baby boom generation ages and life expectancies increase, we believe that this demographic trend is likely to increase the number of
eyewear customers.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Increasing role of managed vision care. Managed vision care plans, such as those offered by insurance companies and Medicare, have become an important factor
in the optical retail industry, with approximately 50% of all patients having some form of vision coverage in 2006. Managed vision care, including the benefits of routine annual eye examinations and eyewear discounts, is being utilized by a growing
number of consumers. Since regular eye examinations may assist in the identification and prevention of more serious conditions, managed vision care plans encourage members to have their eyes examined more regularly, which in turn typically results
in more frequent eyewear replacement. We believe that large optical retail chains are well positioned to capitalize on the growth in participation in managed vision care plans as payors look to develop relationships with chains who deliver superior
customer service, have strong local brand awareness, offer competitive prices, provide multiple convenient locations with flexible hours of operation and possess sophisticated management information and billing systems.

| |  |  | New product innovations. Since the late 1980s, several technological innovations have led to the introduction of new optical lenses and lens treatments,
including progressive addition lenses (no-line bifocal lenses), high-index and aspheric lenses (thinner and lighter
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | lenses), polycarbonate lenses (shatter resistant lenses) and anti-reflective lens coatings. These innovative products are popular among consumers, generally
command premium prices and yield higher margins. The average retail price for all lenses and lens treatments has increased from $88 to $102 between 1995 and 2007, reflecting, in part, the rising popularity of these products.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | LASIK surgery. Laser In-Situ Keratomileusis, or LASIK, was introduced in 1996 as an alternative to eyeglasses and contacts. In 2007, the number of procedures
declined 5% from 2006 to 1.5 million adults, resulting in a similar 5% decline in dollars spent to $3.0 billion. Over the last five years, the number of people that have had the LASIK procedure has averaged approximately 958,000 people per
year. The LASIK procedure is relatively expensive and is generally not covered by health insurance. We believe LASIK is unlikely to significantly impact the eyeglass market in the near future, although it could have a long-term cumulative impact,
particularly if the LASIK procedure is later covered by health insurance or the cost of the procedure decreases.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We
believe the optical retail industry differs in many respects from other traditional retailing sectors. The medical and non-discretionary nature of eye care purchases provides optical retailers with a consistent source of customers and moderate
seasonal fluctuations in sales relative to other sectors of the retail industry. In addition, we believe annual wellness exams provided by optometrists result in repeat business and customer loyalty. The stability of the optical retail industry is
also reinforced by the frequency of the replacement of eyeglasses by customers. In its survey, Jobson estimated that on average customers replaced their eyeglasses once every 2.1 years.

The optical retail industry is highly fragmented and primarily consists of national and regional optical retail chains, mass merchandisers, independent
optometry practitioners and warehouse clubs. However, as a result of customers desire for broad product selection, convenience, strong customer service and competitive prices, the largest optical retailers have gained market share at the
expense of independent practitioners. For example, the total market share of the 10 largest optical retailers in the United States as measured by revenue increased from 20.6% in 2003 to 22.0% in 2006. We believe the largest optical retailers are
well-positioned to further increase their market share. Below is a description of the types of retailers that compete in the optical retail industry.

| |  |  | Optical retail chains. Optical retail chains include both traditional independent optical retail chains such as ourselves and operators of licensed optical
retail departments, such as Sears Optical. Optical retail chains generally offer proximity to optometrists conveniently located in or adjacent to the stores and tend to carry broader product lines. In addition, optical retail chains often have
in-house lens processing capabilities that allow them to process eyeglasses more rapidly than independent practitioners, mass merchandisers or warehouse clubs. We believe that optical retail chains are generally able to offer better value and
service through a reduced cost structure, sophisticated merchandising and displays, greater volume and economies of scale. Furthermore, optical retail chains can generate greater market awareness than the fragmented independent practitioners due to
their general ability to invest in advertising and promotions more economically.

| |  |  | Warehouse clubs and mass merchandisers. Mass merchandisers, such as Wal-Mart, and warehouse clubs, such as Costco, usually provide eyewear in a host
environment, which is typically a larger general merchandise store. While warehouse clubs and mass merchandisers typically provide some of the service elements of optical retail chains such as eye exams, they tend to have a narrower selection
consisting mainly of low margin, lower-priced optical products, have slower turnaround on eyeglasses and compete primarily on price. We believe that the everyday low price model employed by warehouse clubs and mass merchandisers, and the resulting
low margins, are not compatible with the discounts to listed retail prices currently required to participate in managed vision care plans.

| |  |  | Independent practitioners. Independent practitioners include optometrists, opticians, and ophthalmologists who, in each case, operate less than four stores.
Independent practitioners typically cannot provide quick turnaround of eyeglasses because they often do not have in-house lens processing capabilities, and generally charge higher prices than optical retailers. Moreover, their eyewear product
offering is usually narrower. For these reasons, we believe that independent practitioners will continue to lose market share to large optical retailers over the next several years.

Risks relating to our business and the optical retail industry

The optical retail industry is highly competitive, and if we do not compete successfully our business will be adversely affected.

The optical retail market is highly competitive and is continuing to undergo consolidation. We compete directly with national, regional and local retailers, including
other optical retail chains, warehouse clubs and mass merchandisers, and independent practitioners located in our markets. Many potential competitors for our products and services have substantial competitive advantages, including the following:



| |  |  | greater name recognition;
| | - |  | -------------------------



| |  |  | greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | lower cost structure;
| | - |  | ---------------------



| |  |  | more extensive knowledge of the optical retail business and industry; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | well-established relationships with a larger base of current and potential customers, suppliers and managed vision care providers.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some of our competitors are much larger than us. For example, LensCrafters and Cole Vision, which are owned by Luxottica Group SpA, had combined sales of approximately
$2.6 billion in 2006 and the optical outlets contained in Wal-Mart stores had sales of approximately $1.3 billion in 2006. These and other competitors have greater financial resources than we do and may be able to compete more effectively in an
aggressive pricing environment. For example, when our major competitors offer significantly lower prices for their products we often adopt similar pricing strategies, which may reduce our revenues, gross margins and cash flows, and render us less
able to compete with our largest competitors.

##### Table of Contents

We may also encounter increased competition in the future from industry consolidation, increased use of LASIK procedures
and from new competitors that enter our market. Increased competition could result in lower sales or downward price pressure on our products and services, which may adversely affect our revenues, gross margins and cash flows.

Adverse changes in economic conditions generally or in our markets, and changes in consumer tastes, could reduce demand for our products and services which could
adversely affect our results of operations.

The optical retail industry may be affected by economic cycles. Downturns in general economic conditions or
uncertainties regarding future economic prospects, which affect consumer disposable income, have historically adversely affected consumer spending habits in our principal markets. Therefore, such future economic downturns or uncertainties could
reduce demand and have a material adverse effect on our revenues and cash flows.

The optical retail industry is also subject to rapidly changing consumer
preferences. Such changes in consumer preferences could adversely affect us or the optical retail industry as a whole.

We are subject to extensive
state, local and federal laws and regulations that govern our relationships with optometrists and affect the health care industry generally, and these laws and regulations may affect our ability to generate revenue or subject us to additional
expenses.

Our relationships with optometrists are subject to state optometric laws that generally prohibit us from controlling the practice
of optometry or from practicing optometry. Accordingly, we have adopted different contractual arrangements with optometrists to comply with the various regulations in the states in which we operate. For example, we sublease 67 of our stores pursuant
to contracts with professional corporations or other entities controlled by optometrists, which we refer to as OD PCs. The OD PCs own the optical dispensary and the professional eye examination practice and employ the optometrists. We manage the OD
PC stores under long-term management agreements, including management of the professional practice and optical retail business. Notwithstanding our efforts to comply with applicable law, a court or regulatory authority could conclude that any of our
contractual arrangements with optometrists, including our long-term management agreements with OD PCs, subleases and trademark license agreements, and our day-to-day operational practices in managing these relationships, result in the improper
control of an optometric practice or otherwise do not comply with applicable laws and regulations. A finding that we are in violation of these laws and regulations may result in censure or delicensing of optometrists, substantial civil or criminal
damages and penalties, including double and triple monetary damages and penalties, and, in the case of violations of federal laws and regulations, exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs, or other sanctions. In addition, a determination in
any state that we are controlling an optometric practice or engaged in the corporate practice of medicine or any unlawful fee-splitting arrangement could render any sublease, management or service agreement between us and optometrists located in
such state unenforceable or subject to modification, or, for example, could necessitate a buy-out of an OD PC. Each of these events could adversely impact our revenues and cash flows.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) covers a variety of subjects which impact our businesses and the business of the optometrists, including the privacy and security of
patient health care information and the standardization of electronic data



23

##### Table of Contents

transactions for purposes of medical billing. We have devoted, and continue to devote, resources to implement operating procedures within the stores and our
corporate office to facilitate compliance with HIPAA regulations which became effective in 2003. Penalties under HIPAA, if applied to us, or a determination that we or any affiliated optometrists or OD PCs are not in compliance with such laws, could
have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Regulation of the healthcare industry is constantly changing, which affects our
opportunities, competition and other aspects of our business. Future developments or changes to the regulatory environment could adversely impact our operations, our compliance costs, our relationships with optometrists and the implementation of our
business plan. For a more detailed discussion of these laws and regulations, see Item 1. Business-Government regulation.

Any events
resulting in a change in our relationship with the optometrist located in or adjacent to our stores could have a material adverse effect on our business.

The location of optometrists within or adjacent to our stores is an important part of our operating strategy. No assurances can be given as to the likelihood of events adversely affecting the relationship with these optometrists or our
ability to locate optometrists within or adjacent to our stores including, without limitation (i) a dispute with an optometrist or group of optometrists controlling multiple practice locations, (ii) a government or regulatory authority
challenging our operating structure or our relationship with the optometrists, or (iii) other changes to applicable laws or regulations (or interpretations of the same), resulting in changes to our operating structures. Any of these events
affecting our relationships with optometrists could affect our ability to attract and retain customers, and thus may have a material adverse affect on our business. See Item 1. Business-Government regulation.

While most of these optometrists operate one practice location, five optometrists operate an aggregate of 110 locations, which includes OD PCs. Due to this concentration
of locations operated by these optometrists, disputes or regulatory issues with any of these optometrists could have a greater impact on our business.

We could be subject to franchise claims by optometrists that could limit our ability to conduct our business in the manner we deem appropriate.

We sublease office space to certain optometrists who enter into Trademark License Agreements with Enclave Advancement Group, Inc., one of our subsidiaries (Enclave). In the past we have been, and in the future may be, subject to
claims that this leasing of space from us, coupled with the license from Enclave of trademarks, constitutes a franchise and thereby gives the tenant optometrists rights as franchisees. No assurance can be given that a claim, action or proceeding
will not be brought against us or Enclave asserting that a franchise exists or that the success of any such claim would not impair the way in which we currently structure our relationships with optometrists.

Our future success will depend in part on our ability to build and maintain managed vision care relationships, most of which are not subject to contractual
arrangements.

As an increasing percentage of patients enter into health care coverage arrangements with managed vision care payors, we believe that our
success will be, in part, dependent upon our ability to participate in the managed vision care plans of employer groups and other private third



24

##### Table of Contents

party payors. Our existing managed vision care plans are, for the most part, not contractual and may be terminated with little or no notice. We may not be
able to establish or maintain satisfactory relationships with managed vision care and other third party payors, many of which have existing provider structures in place and may not be able or willing to change their provider networks. Some states
have adopted, and others are considering, legislation that requires managed vision care payors to include any provider who is willing to abide by the terms of the managed vision care payors contracts and/or prohibit termination of providers
without cause. These types of laws limit our ability to develop effective managed vision care provider networks in such states. This could adversely affect our ability to implement our business plan. Our inability to maintain our current
relationships or enter into such arrangements in the future could have a material adverse effect on our revenue and cash flows.

We rely on third-party
reimbursement, including government programs, for a portion of our net revenues, the future reduction of which could adversely affect our results of operations.

A significant portion of medical care in the United States is funded by government and private insurance plans, including managed vision care plans. For the fiscal year ended December 30, 2006, and December 29, 2007, approximately
32% and 30%, respectively, of our net revenues were derived from managed vision care plans. The health care industry is experiencing a trend toward cost-containment with government and private insurance plans seeking to impose lower reimbursement,
utilization restrictions and risk-based compensation arrangements. Payments made under such programs may not remain at levels comparable to the present levels or be sufficient to cover the cost of the services we provide to plan beneficiaries. In
addition, many private insurance plans may base their reimbursement rates on the government rates. Private insurance plans are also developing increasingly sophisticated methods of controlling health care costs through redesign of benefits and
explorations of more cost-effective methods of delivering health care. Accordingly, reimbursement for purchase and use of eye care services may be limited or reduced, thereby adversely affecting our revenues and cash flows. Furthermore, government
or private insurance plans may retrospectively and/or prospectively adjust payments to us in amounts which would have a material adverse effect on our cash flows and financial condition.

Our controlling shareholders have the ability to direct our operations and their interests may conflict with the interests of noteholders.

Highmark is an independent licensee of the Blue Cross Blue Shield association. In addition, Highmark owns a managed vision care and a frame wholesale company. We are currently controlled by Highmark. Highmarks
control of us could be exercised in a manner that may be in conflict with the interests of noteholders.

Technological advances may reduce the demand
for our products or allow other optical retailers to offer eyewear at a lower cost than we can, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Corneal refractive surgery procedures such as radial-keratotomy, photo-refractive keratotomy, LASIK, and future drug development, may change the demand for our products. As traditional eyewear users undergo laser
vision correction procedures or other vision correction techniques, the demand for certain contact lenses and eyeglasses will decrease. A decrease in customer



25

##### Table of Contents

demand for these products could have a material adverse effect on sales of prescription eyewear. In addition, technological developments such as wafer
technology and lens casting may render our current lens manufacturing method uncompetitive or obsolete. Future medical advances and technological developments may have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

We may be exposed to a significant risk from malpractice and other related claims if we are unable to obtain adequate insurance, at acceptable costs, to protect us
against potential liability claims.

The provision of professional eye care services entails an inherent risk of professional malpractice and other
related claims. As a result of the relationship between affiliated optometrists and us, we may become subject to professional malpractice actions or claims under various theories relating to the professional services provided by these individuals.
In addition, as a manufacturer of lenses, we are subject to claims for alleged defects in our products sold. Premiums for medical malpractice and other insurance may significantly increase which could adversely affect our results of operations and
cash flows or force us to self insure against these potential claims. We may not be able to continue to obtain adequate liability insurance to cover claims asserted against us, in which event, our financial condition and results of operations could
be adversely affected.

We depend on the ability and experience of certain members of our management team and their departure may have a material
adverse effect on our results of operations.

To guide our operations, we rely on the skills of certain members of our senior management team, including
our Chief Executive Officer, David L. Holmberg, the loss of whom could have an adverse effect on our operations. Furthermore, other members of our senior management team have employment agreements with us that are terminable annually upon at least
thirty days notice. Accordingly, key executives may not continue to work for us, and we may not be able to hire qualified replacements in a timely manner or at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to implement our strategy
and on our business operations.

Our goodwill is subject to annual impairment assessments.

Goodwill is the amount of excess purchase price over the fair market value of acquired net assets and identified intangibles. We perform an annual assessment of goodwill
that involves the comparison of the fair value of the company with its carrying amount. Fair value is estimated using discounted cash flows and earnings multiples comparable to asset market values. If the fair value is less than the carrying value,
goodwill is considered impaired. Impairment would adversely affect our results of operations. At December 29, 2007, our goodwill of $523,377 represents 78.2% of our total assets. We performed the necessary evaluation and no impairment exists.

Risks relating to the Notes

Our level of
indebtedness could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations, limit our ability to react to changes in the economy or our industry and prevent us from meeting our obligations under the Notes.

Notedollar amounts shown in thousands

Our substantial degree of leverage could have important consequences for our creditors, including the following:



| |  |  | it may limit our ability to obtain additional debt or equity financing for working capital, capital expenditures, store expansion, debt service requirements,
acquisitions and general corporate or other purposes;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations will be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness and will not be available for
other purposes, including our operations, capital expenditures and future business opportunities;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the debt service requirements of our other indebtedness could make it more difficult for us to satisfy our financial obligations, including those related to the
Notes;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | certain of our borrowings, including borrowings under our New Credit Facility, are at variable rates of interest, exposing us to the risk of increased interest
rates;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | it may place us at a disadvantage compared to our competitors that have a lower degree of leverage;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | it may limit our ability to adjust to changing market conditions and place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | we may be vulnerable in a downturn in general economic conditions or in our business, or we may be unable to carry out capital spending and research and development
activities that are important to our growth.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We may be able to incur more debt in the future, which may intensify the risks described in
this filing. The indenture governing the Notes and our New Credit Facility do not prohibit us from so incurring more debt in the future. As of December 29, 2007, we were able to borrow up to an additional $25.0 million (excluding $2.6 million
of letters of credit) under the revolving portion of our New Credit Facility. All of those borrowings would have been secured by substantially all of our assets and would have ranked senior to the Notes and the guarantees.

In addition, we will have substantial obligations under our non-cancelable operating leases relating to substantially all of our retail facilities as well as our
corporate offices and distribution center. For fiscal 2008, our minimum operating lease payments are $34.2 million.

##### Table of Contents

We are a holding company and may not have access to sufficient cash to make payments on the Notes.

We are a holding company with no direct operations. Our principal assets are the equity interests we hold in our subsidiaries. As a result, we will be dependent upon
dividends and other payments from our subsidiaries to generate the funds necessary to meet our outstanding debt service and other obligations. Our subsidiaries earnings will depend on their financial and operating performance, which will be
affected by prevailing economic and competitive conditions and by financial, business and other factors beyond our control. Our subsidiaries may not generate sufficient cash from operations to enable us to make principal and interest payments on our
indebtedness, including the Notes, or to fund our other cash obligations. In addition, any payments of dividends, distributions, loans or advances to us by our subsidiaries could be subject to restrictions on dividends under applicable local law in
the jurisdictions in which our subsidiaries operate.

Our subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and, except for our existing and future
subsidiaries that are and will be the guarantors of the Notes, will have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay amounts due under the Notes or to make any funds available to pay those amounts, whether by dividend, distribution, loan or other
payment. In addition, any guarantee of the Notes is and will be subordinated to any senior indebtedness of a guarantor to the same extent that the Notes are subordinated to our senior indebtedness.

If we are unable to service our debt, we will be forced to take actions such as revising or delaying our strategic plans, reducing or delaying capital expenditures,
selling assets, restructuring or refinancing our debt, including the Notes, or seeking additional equity capital. We may be unable to affect any of these remedies on satisfactory terms, or at all. Our New Credit Facility and the indenture that
governs the Notes restrict our ability to dispose of assets and use the proceeds from such dispositions. We may not be able to consummate those dispositions or to use those proceeds to meet any debt service obligations then due. See Note 9
Long-Term Debt in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

If we cannot make scheduled payments on our debt, we will be
in default and, as a result:



| |  |  | our debt holders could declare all outstanding principal and interest to be due and payable;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the lenders under our New Credit Facility could terminate their commitments to loan us money and foreclose against the assets securing their borrowings; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation, which could result in investors losing their investment in the Notes.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our variable rate indebtedness subjects us to interest rate risk, which could cause our debt service obligations to increase significantly.

All of our borrowings under our New Credit Facility bear interest at a floating rate. As of December 29, 2007, we had approximately $106.9 million of long-term,
floating-rate debt under our New Credit Facility. Accordingly, our net income will be affected by changes in interest rates. Assuming a one percentage point increase in the interest rate under our New Credit Facility, our pro forma interest expense
for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2007 would have increased by approximately $1.1 million.

Covenants in our debt agreements restrict our
business in many ways.

The indenture governing the Notes contains various covenants that limit our ability and/or our restricted subsidiaries
ability to, among other things:



| |  |  | incur, assume or guarantee additional indebtedness;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | make other restricted payments including, without limitation, paying dividends and making investments;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | redeem debt that is junior in right of payment to the Notes;

| |  |  | enter into agreements that restrict dividends from subsidiaries;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | merge, consolidate and sell or otherwise dispose of substantially all our assets;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | - |  | ----------------------------------------



| |  |  | guarantee indebtedness; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------



| |  |  | enter into new lines of business.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------

In addition, we
have pledged a significant portion of our assets as collateral under our New Credit Facility. Our New Credit Facility also contains restrictive covenants and requires us to maintain specified financial ratios and satisfy other financial condition
tests. Our ability to meet those financial ratios and tests can be affected by events beyond our control, and we may be unable to meet those tests. A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under our New Credit Facility and/or the
Notes. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under our New Credit Facility, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under our New Credit Facility to be immediately due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend
further credit, which would occur automatically in the case of certain bankruptcy and insolvency events with respect to us. If we were unable to repay those amounts, the lenders under our New Credit Facility could foreclose against the assets
securing the obligations under the New Credit Facility. If the lenders under our New Credit Facility accelerate the repayment of borrowings, we may not have sufficient assets to repay our New Credit Facility and our other indebtedness, including the
Notes. See Note 9 Long-Term Debt in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

If we default on our obligations to pay our
indebtedness we may not be able to make payments on the Notes.

Any default under the agreements governing our indebtedness, including a default under
our New Credit Facility that is not waived by the required lenders, and the remedies sought by the holders of such indebtedness could render us unable to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and substantially decrease the market
value of the Notes. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows and are otherwise unable to obtain funds necessary to meet required payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness, or if we otherwise fail to comply
with the various covenants, including financial and operating covenants, in the instruments governing our indebtedness (including covenants in the indenture governing the Notes and our New Credit Facility), we could be in default under the terms of
the agreements governing such indebtedness, including our New Credit Facility and the indenture governing the Notes. In the event of such default, the holders of such indebtedness could elect to declare all the funds borrowed thereunder to be due
and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest, the lenders under our New Credit Facility could elect to terminate their commitments thereunder, cease making further loans and foreclose against the assets securing their loans, and we could
be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation. If our operating performance declines, we may in the future need to obtain waivers from the required lenders under our New Credit Facility to avoid being in default. If we breach our covenants under our New
Credit Facility and seek a waiver, we

##### Table of Contents

may not be able to obtain a waiver from the required lenders. If this occurs, we would be in default under our New Credit Facility, the lenders could
exercise their rights, as described above, and we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation. See Note 9 Long-term Debt in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The right to receive payments on the Notes and the guarantees is junior to the obligations under our New Credit Facility and possibly all our future borrowings.

The Notes and the related guarantees rank behind all of our and our guarantors existing and future senior obligations, including indebtedness and guarantees under
our New Credit Facility. As a result, upon any distribution to our creditors or the creditors of the guarantors in bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization or similar proceeding relating to us or the guarantors or our or their property, the holders
of senior indebtedness of ours and the guarantors will be entitled to be paid in full in cash before any payment may be made with respect to the Notes or the related guarantees.

All payments on the Notes and the guarantees will be blocked in the event of a payment default on our senior indebtedness and may be blocked for up to 179 consecutive days in the event of certain nonpayment defaults
on designated senior indebtedness.

In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or similar proceeding relating to us or the
guarantors, holders of the Notes will participate with all other holders of senior subordinated indebtedness in the assets remaining after we and the guarantors have paid all of our senior indebtedness. However, because the indenture requires that
amounts otherwise payable to holders of the Notes in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding be paid to holders of senior indebtedness instead, holders of the Notes may receive less, ratably, than holders of trade payables in any bankruptcy or similar
proceeding. In any of these cases, we and the guarantors may not have sufficient funds to pay all of our creditors, and holders of the Notes may receive less, ratably, than the holders of senior indebtedness.

As of December 29, 2007, the Notes and the guarantees were subordinated to approximately $106.9 million of senior indebtedness and an additional $25.0 million was
available for borrowing (excluding $2.6 million of letters of credit) as additional senior indebtedness under the revolving credit portion of our New Credit Facility, subject to certain conditions. We may be permitted to borrow substantial
additional indebtedness, including senior indebtedness, in the future under the terms of the indenture and the New Credit Facility.

Our obligations
under our New Credit Facility are secured by certain of our assets.

In addition to being contractually subordinated to all existing and future senior
indebtedness, our obligations under the Notes are unsecured while our obligations under our New Credit Facility are secured by first-priority or equivalent security interests in substantially all of our assets, including all the capital stock of, or
other equity interests in, each of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of, or other equity interests in, each of our future foreign subsidiaries. If we or one of our subsidiaries are declared bankrupt or
insolvent or if we default under our New Credit Facility, all of the funds borrowed thereunder may immediately become due and payable, which would occur automatically in the case of certain bankruptcy and insolvency events with respect to us. If we
were unable to repay those amounts, the lenders could foreclose on the assets (including the stock of our subsidiaries) in which they have been granted a security interest, in each case to the exclusion of investors in the Notes, even if an event of
default exists under the indenture governing the Notes at that time.

Creditors will not have any claim as a creditor against any professional corporations or other entities controlled by
an optometrist.

In order to comply with regulations in certain states regarding the practice of optometry, we sublease 67 stores to professional
corporations or other entities controlled by optometrists, which we refer to as OD PCs. We manage these stores pursuant to long-term agreements with the OD PCs, and although we do not own any of the OD PCs, under GAAP we consolidate the assets,
liabilities, results of operations and cash flows of 54 of the 67 stores owned by OD PCs. However, our rights to the cash flow from the OD PCs are limited to our rights under the management agreements governing our relationship with the respective
OD PCs. As of December 29, 2007, approximately $9.8 million, or 1.5%, of our total consolidated assets were owned by OD PCs. The OD PCs do not guarantee and will not guarantee the Notes investors in the Notes will not have any claim as a
creditor against any assets owned by an OD PC. For additional information on the OD PCs see Note 9 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this filing.

We may not be able to repurchase the Notes upon a change of control.

Upon the occurrence of a change of control or
other specific kinds of change of control events, we will be required to offer to repurchase all outstanding Notes at 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. We may not be able to repurchase the Notes upon a change of
control because we may not have sufficient funds. Further, we are contractually restricted under the terms of our New Credit Facility or other future senior indebtedness from repurchasing all of the Notes tendered by holders upon a change of
control. Accordingly, we may not be able to satisfy our obligations to purchase the Notes unless we are able to refinance or obtain waivers under our New Credit Facility. Our failure to repurchase the Notes upon a change of control would cause a
default under the indenture and a cross-default under our New Credit Facility. Our New Credit Facility also provides that a change of control, as defined in such agreement, will be a default that permits the lenders to accelerate the maturity of
borrowings thereunder and, if such debt is not paid, to enforce security interests in the collateral securing such debt, thereby limiting our ability to raise cash to purchase the Notes, and reducing the practical benefit of the offer-to-purchase
provisions to the holders of the Notes. Any of our future debt agreements may contain similar provisions.

In addition, the change of control provisions in
the indenture may not protect investors in the Notes from certain important corporate events, such as a leveraged recapitalization (which would increase the level of our indebtedness), reorganization, restructuring, merger or other similar
transaction, unless such transaction constitutes a Change of Control under the indenture. Such a transaction may not involve a change in voting power or beneficial ownership or, even if it does, may not involve a change that constitutes
a Change of Control as defined in the indenture that would trigger our obligation to repurchase the Notes. Therefore, if an event occurs that does not constitute a Change of Control as defined in the indenture, we will not be
required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes and investors in the Notes may be required to continue to hold their Notes despite the event.

The ability to transfer the Exchange Notes may be limited by the absence of an active trading market, and an active
trading market may not develop for the Exchange Notes.

The Notes are securities for which there is no established trading market. We do not intend to
have the Notes listed on a national securities exchange or to arrange for quotation on any automated dealer quotation systems. The liquidity of the Notes will depend on a number of factors, including:



| |  |  | the number of holders of Notes;
| | - |  | -------------------------------



| |  |  | our operating performance and financial condition;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the market for similar securities;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------



| |  |  | the interest of securities dealers in making a market in the Notes; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | prevailing interest rates.
| | - |  | --------------------------

Historically, the market
for non-investment grade debt has been subject to disruptions that have caused substantial volatility in the prices of securities similar to the Notes. The market, if any, for the Notes may face similar disruptions that may adversely affect the
prices at which investors may sell their Notes. Therefore, investors may not be able to sell their Notes at a particular time and the price that they receive when they sell may not be favorable.

Federal and state fraudulent transfer laws permit a court to void the Notes and the guarantees, and, if that occurs, note holders may not receive any payments on the
Notes.

The issuance of the Notes and the guarantees may be subject to review under federal and state fraudulent transfer and conveyance statutes. While
the relevant laws may vary from state to state, under such laws the payment of consideration will be a fraudulent conveyance if (i) we paid the consideration with the intent of hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors or (ii) we or any
of our guarantors, as applicable, received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration in return for issuing either the Notes or a guarantee, and, in the case of (ii) only, one of the following is also true:



| |  |  | we or any of our guarantors were or was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of the incurrence of the indebtedness; or
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | payment of the consideration left us or any of our guarantors with an unreasonably small amount of capital to carry on the business; or
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | we or any of our guarantors intended to, or believed that we or it would, incur debts beyond our or its ability to pay as they mature.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If a court were to find that the issuance of the Notes or a guarantee was a fraudulent conveyance, the court could void the payment obligations under the Notes or
such guarantee or further subordinate the Notes or such guarantee to presently existing and future indebtedness of ours or such guarantor, or require the holders of the Notes to repay any amounts received with respect to the Notes or such guarantee.
In the event of a finding that a fraudulent conveyance occurred, investors in the Notes may not receive any repayment on the Notes. Further, the voidance of the Notes could result in an event of default with respect to our other debt and that of our
guarantors that could result in acceleration of such debt.

Generally, an entity would be considered insolvent if, at the time it incurred
indebtedness:



| |  |  | the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, was greater than the fair saleable value of all its assets; or
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the present fair saleable value of its assets was less than the amount that would be required to repay its existing debts and liabilities, including contingent
liabilities, as they become absolute and mature; or
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | it could not pay its debts as they become due.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------

We cannot be certain as to the standards a court would use to determine whether or not we or the guarantors were solvent
at the relevant time, or regardless of the standard that a court uses, that the issuance of the Notes and the guarantees would not be subordinated to our or any guarantors other debt.

If the guarantees were legally challenged, any guarantee could also be subject to the claim that, since the guarantee was incurred for our benefit, and only indirectly
for the benefit of the guarantor, the obligations of the applicable guarantor were incurred for less than fair consideration. A court could thus void all or a part of the obligations under the guarantees, subordinate them to the applicable
guarantors other debt or take other action detrimental to the holders of the Notes.



|ITEM 2. | PROPERTIES
|------- | ----------

As of December 29, 2007, we operated 411 retail locations in the United States. We believe our
properties are adequate and suitable for our purposes. We lease all of our retail locations, the majority of which are under leases that in addition to our base rent require payment by us of our pro rata share of real estate taxes, utilities and
common area maintenance charges. These leases range in terms of up to 15 years and generally have a 10 year duration, and we renew approximately 40 to 50 leases annually. In substantially all of our stores that we operate, we sublease (or the
landlord leases) a portion of such stores or an adjacent space to an independent optometrist (or its wholly-owned operating entity). With respect to the OD PCs, we sublease the entire premises of the store to the OD PC. The terms of these leases or
subleases range from one to 15 years, with rentals consisting of a percentage of gross receipts or base rental. The general location and character of our stores are described in Item 1. BusinessStore operations.

We lease combined corporate offices and a retail location in San Antonio, Texas, pursuant to a 15-year lease executed in August 1997. In addition, we lease a combined
distribution center and central laboratory in San Antonio pursuant to a five-year lease which expires in June 2009. We believe central distribution improves efficiency through better inventory management and streamlined purchasing.



|ITEM 3. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
|------- | -----------------

We are a party to routine litigation in the ordinary course of our business. We do not believe
that any such pending matters, individually or in the aggregate, are material to our business or financial condition. Nevertheless, we cannot predict the impact of future developments affecting our pending or future claims and lawsuits.



|ITEM 4. | SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
|------- | ---------------------------------------------------

None in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2007.

|(2) | Comparable store sales growth is calculated comparing net revenues for the period indicated to net revenues of the equivalent prior period for all stores open at least twelve months
during such prior period. Note fiscal 2004 was a 53 week year. Comparable store sales growth of 3.0% for 2004 is based on inclusion of incremental week. If excluded, comparable store sales grow for fiscal 2004 was 4.9%. Fiscal 2005 comparable store
sales growth was calculated excluding the incremental week for fiscal 2004.

Non GAAP Information

Adjusted EBITDAThe Companys operating performance is evaluated using several
measures. One of those measures, Adjusted EBITDA, is derived from the Operating Income GAAP measurement. Adjusted EBITDA has historically been used by the Companys credit facility lenders to measure compliance with certain financial debt
covenants and by certain investors as one measure of the Companys historical ability to fund operations and meet its financial obligations. The Companys credit facility agreement defines Adjusted EBITDA as consolidated net income (loss)
before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, recapitalization and other expenses, extraordinary loss (gain) and store closure expense. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than,
operating income or net income (loss) in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as an indicator of the Companys operating performance or cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA presented may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The following table is a reconciliation of operating income to Adjusted EBITDA for each of the fiscal periods presented:

Combined Fiscal periods. In order to provide the most beneficial performance
comparison, the results of our predecessors for the period January 2, 2005 to March 1, 2005 have been combined with the predecessor period March 2, 2005 to December 31, 2005 to represent a total fiscal year. Similarly, the
results of our predecessor for the period January 1, 2006 to August 1, 2006 have been combined with the period August 2, 2006 to December 30, 2006 to represent a total fiscal year. Such combination does not comply with GAAP,
which requires the successor period be presented separately from the predecessor periods, because purchase accounting adjustments may make the successor period not comparable to the predecessor period.

|ITEM 7. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Introduction

We are the third largest operator of optical retail stores in the United States as measured by net revenue. We currently operate 408 stores in 36 states,
including 341 directly-owned stores and 67 stores owned by an optometrists professional entity (an OD PC), which we manage under long-term management agreements. Our consolidated financial information includes the results of our
341 directly-owned stores, as well as the results of 54 of the 67 stores operated by an OD PC. The remaining 13 stores operated by an OD PC are not consolidated and we recognize as management fee revenue only the cash flows we earn pursuant to the
terms of management agreements for those 13 OD PC-operated stores.

Our net revenues are comprised of optical sales, net of discounts and promotions, from
our 395 consolidated stores as well as management fees from the 13 stores owned by OD PCs that are not consolidated in our results. Optical sales include sales of frames, lenses (including lens treatments), contact lenses and eyeglass warranties at
all of our 395 consolidated stores, as well as the professional fees of the optometrists at 207 of the stores. These 207 stores include 109 stores where the optometrist is our employee or an independent contractor, the 54 stores operated by an OD PC
that are consolidated in our results and the 44 stores with independent optometrists for whom we provide management services. The management fees from the 13 unconsolidated OD PC-operated stores are based on the performance of the stores.

Our operating costs and expenses are comprised of costs of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses. Cost of goods sold primarily
includes the cost of eyeglass frames, opthamalic lenses, contact lenses, lab manufacturing costs and buying, warehousing, distribution, shipping and delivery costs and doctor payroll. Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily include
retail payroll, occupancy, overhead, advertising and depreciation. Occupancy, overhead and depreciation are less variable relative to sales levels than other components of selling, general and administrative expenses.

In this managements discussion and analysis we use the terms gross profit, gross margin, comparable store sales,
comparable transaction volume and average ticket price to compare our period-over-period performance. Gross profit is defined as optical sales less cost of goods sold in a period. Gross margin is defined as gross profit as a
percentage of optical sales in a period. Comparable store sales is calculated by comparing net revenues for a period to net revenues of the equivalent prior period for all stores open at least twelve months during such prior period. Comparable
transaction volume is based on the number of comparable store sales in a period. Average ticket price is calculated by dividing net revenues by transaction volume in a period.

We believe that the key driver of our performance is our ability to grow revenue without increasing costs at the same rate by (i) increasing comparable transaction volume by offering value and convenience,
(ii) actively managing our store base in targeted markets and (iii) pursuing fee-for-service funded managed vision care relationships. Our performance is also affected by general economic conditions and consumer confidence.

We primarily grow optical sales by offering value and convenience to our customers. Since fiscal 2001, we have focused on our value strategy, which includes a promotion
of two complete pairs

of single vision eyewear for $99. We believe our value strategy results in increased comparable transaction volume and also believe it encourages customers
to purchase higher margin lenses, lens treatments and accessories, which increases average ticket price.

We also grow optical sales and leverage costs
through selective store base expansion by opening new stores in targeted markets. Until a new store matures, its operating costs as a percentage of optical sales are generally higher than that of an established store. Accordingly, the expenses
related to opening new stores adversely affect our results in that period. Over the longer term, opening a new store in an existing market allows us to leverage existing advertising, field management and overhead to mitigate margin pressure. When
entering a new market, we seek to achieve sufficient market penetration to generate brand awareness and economies of scale in advertising, field management and overhead. Consistent with our strategic objectives, management believes the opportunity
exists to open approximately 25 new stores in both 2008 and 2009 in existing and new markets. We also manage costs by closing stores that do not meet our performance expectations. Store openings and store closures affect period over period
comparisons.

We have made a strategic decision to pursue fee-for-service funded managed vision care plans. Fee-for-service funded managed vision care
plans consist of insurance relationships where we receive set fees for services provided to participants of a plan as opposed to capitated funded managed vision care plans where we receive a set fee per plan participant to provide any and all
services requested by participants of such plan. Under a fee-for-service funded managed vision care plan, we benefit from participants utilization of the plan, whereas under a capitated funded managed vision care plan we bear risk related to
the level at which participants utilize such plan. Substantially all of our current funded managed vision care plans are fee-for-service funded managed vision care plans. Our managed vision care plans also include discount managed vision care plans
where participants receive a set discount on eye care products. We believe that participation in managed vision care plans will continue to benefit us and other large optical retail chains with strong local market shares, broad geographic coverage
and sophisticated management information and billing systems. We expect that optical revenues derived from managed vision care plans will continue to account for approximately 30% of our net revenues, but that the percentage attributable to
fee-for-service funded managed vision care plans will increase as revenues from discount managed vision care plans decline. While the average ticket price on products purchased under managed vision care plans is typically slightly lower than a
non-managed vision care sale, managed vision care plan transactions generally earn comparable operating profit margins as they require less promotional spending and advertising support. We believe that the increased volume resulting from managed
vision care plans also compensates for the lower average ticket price.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth the percentage relationship to net revenues of certain income statement data. In order to provide the most beneficial performance comparison, the period January 2, 2005 to
March 1, 2005 of the THLee Predecessor and the period March 2, 2005 to December 31, 2005 of the GGC Moulin Predecessor have been combined to represent a total fiscal year. In addition, the period January 1, 2006 to August 1,
2006 of the GGC Moulin Predecessor and the period August 2, 2006 to December 30, 2006 of the Company have been combined to represent a total fiscal year. The year-to-year comparisons of financial results are not necessarily indicative of
future results. We believe this presentation provides the most meaningful information about our results of operations. This approach is not consistent with GAAP, may yield results that are not strictly comparable on a period-to-period basis, and may
not reflect the actual results we would have achieved.

The following is
a discussion of certain factors affecting our results of operations and our liquidity and capital resources. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this
filing.

Fiscal 2007 compared to Fiscal 2006.

Net Revenues. Net revenues increased to $477.8 million in fiscal 2007 from $437.7 million in fiscal 2006. The increase was largely the result of a comparable store sales increase of 5.7% compared to fiscal
2006. We opened twenty-five stores and closed one store in fiscal 2007. Net revenues attributable to the new stores opened in fiscal 2007 were $10.4 million. The increase in net revenues attributable to the effect of stores opened in fiscal 2006
being open all of fiscal 2007 was $7.7 million. Comparable transaction volume increased by 4.8% compared to fiscal 2006 while average ticket prices increased by 0.9% compared to fiscal 2006. The increase in comparable store sales and average ticket
prices was the result of a continued increase in the

sales mix of premium lenses, strong acceptance of our value offering and $7.1 million from our participation in a new managed vision care contract through
our sister company, Davis Vision, Inc. The new Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP) commenced on December 31, 2006 which provides supplemental dental and vision benefits to federal employees, retirees and their
dependents. Davis Vision was selected by the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association to administer vision benefits under the FEP BlueVision program.

Gross Profit.Gross profit increased to $314.2 million in fiscal 2007 from $286.9 million in fiscal 2006. Gross profit as a percentage of optical sales increased to 66.2% in fiscal 2007 as compared to 66.0% in fiscal 2006. This
increase was largely the result of the sale of lower cost frames purchased from China, an increase in the sales mix of higher margin premium lenses and an increase in the sales mix of high margin private label and value frames. These increases were
offset by an increase in lab operating expenditures.

Selling General & Administrative Expenses (SG&A).SG&A
increased to $249.6 million in fiscal 2007 from $228.0 million in fiscal 2006. SG&A, as a percentage of optical sales, increased to 52.6% in fiscal 2007 from 52.4% in fiscal 2006. This percentage increase was largely due to an increase in retail
payroll expenditures as compared to fiscal 2006. This increase was related to our entry into the Chicago market and the non-recurring expenses for personnel training and occupancy. Slight increases in advertising, depreciation and overhead expenses
were offset by the leveraging of occupancy expenditures during fiscal 2007.

Transaction Expenses.Transaction expenses were $7.5
million in fiscal 2006, all of which were incurred in the period ended August 1, 2006. The 2006 transaction expenses relate to the Highmark Acquisition and include seller expenses, management bonuses and write off of prepaid management fees.

Net Interest Expense.Net interest expense decreased to $26.0 million in fiscal 2007 from $31.6 million in fiscal 2006. This
decrease was primarily due to lower outstanding debt balances as a result principal payments during 2007 and a decrease in interest rates as compared to fiscal 2006.

Income Tax Expense.Income tax expense increased to $16.5 million in fiscal 2007 from $11.9 million in fiscal 2006. Fiscal 2006 expense was affected by our transaction expenses and losses incurred by our OD PCs
that are not deductible by us, resulting in an effective tax rate of 52.5% of pretax income. Fiscal 2007s effective rate was 39.5% of pretax income.

Net Income.Net income was $25.2 million in fiscal 2007 compared to $10.8 million in fiscal 2006. This was primarily a result of the transaction expenses.

Fiscal 2006 compared to Fiscal 2005.

Net Revenues. Net revenues increased to $437.7 million in fiscal 2006 from $406.2 million in fiscal 2005. The increase was largely the result of a comparable store sales increase of 6.0% compared to fiscal 2005. We opened fourteen
stores and closed seven stores in fiscal 2006. Net revenues attributable to the new stores opened in fiscal 2006 were $6.3 million. The increase in net revenues attributable to the effect of stores opened in fiscal 2005 being open all of fiscal 2006
was $3.5 million. Comparable transaction volume increased by 4.1% compared to fiscal 2005 while average ticket prices increased by 1.9% compared to fiscal 2005. The increase in comparable store sales and average ticket prices was the result of a
continued increase in the

##### Table of Contents

sales mix of premium lenses. The increase in transactions was aided by 285 less store closure days than in fiscal 2005 when severe hurricane activity
generated multiple store closure days during the one of the seasonal peaks in sales. Total managed vision care sales increased by 7.4% compared to fiscal 2005. The total managed vision care sales increase was primarily due to an increase in plans
offered by our two largest managed vision care partners. The growth is from both new and existing accounts which they administer.

Gross
Profit.Gross profit increased to $316.4 million in fiscal 2006 from $282.2 million in fiscal 2005. Gross profit as a percentage of optical sales increased to 72.8% in fiscal 2006 as compared to 70.0% in fiscal 2005. This increase was largely
the result of the sale of lower cost frames purchased from China, an increase in the sales mix of higher margin premium lenses and an increase in the sales mix of high margin private label and value frames. Savings from our Chinese direct importing
were approximately $5.6 million in fiscal 2006.

Selling General & Administrative Expenses (SG&A).SG&A increased
to $257.5 million in fiscal 2006 from $239.5 million in fiscal 2005. SG&A, as a percentage of optical sales, decreased to 59.2% in fiscal 2006 from 59.4% in fiscal 2005. We were able to leverage doctor payroll expenses and some of our fixed
expenditures such as occupancy which were offset by increased overhead expenditures in fiscal 2006.

Transaction Expenses.Transaction expenses were $7.5 million in fiscal 2006, all of which were incurred in the period ended August 1, 2006. The 2006 transaction expenses relate to the Highmark Acquisition and include seller expenses, management bonuses and write
off of prepaid management fees. Transaction expenses were $15.6 million in fiscal 2005, all of which were incurred in the period ended March 1, 2005. The 2005 transaction expenses relate to the GGC Moulin Acquisition and include seller
expenses, management bonuses, write off of debt financing costs and call premium on the redemption of the old Notes.

Net Interest
Expense.Net interest expense increased to $31.6 million in fiscal 2006 from $29.0 million in fiscal 2005. This increase was primarily due to larger outstanding debt balances as a result of the GGC Moulin Acquisition and an increase in interest
rates as compared to fiscal 2005.

Income Tax Expense.Income tax expense increased to $11.9 million in fiscal 2006 from $4.2
million in fiscal 2005. Both fiscal 2005 and 2006 expense was affected by our transaction expenses and losses incurred by our OD PCs that are not deductible by us.

Net Income.Net income was $10.8 million in fiscal 2006 compared to net loss of $2.8 million in fiscal 2005. This was primarily a result of the transaction expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of capital

Our short-term and long-term liquidity needs will arise primarily from: (i) interest payments primarily related to our New Credit Facility and the
Notes; (ii) capital expenditures, including those for opening new stores; and (iii) working capital requirements as may be needed to support our business. We intend to fund our operations, interest expense, capital expenditures and working
capital requirements principally from cash from operations. We are a holding company with no direct operations. Our principal assets are the equity interests we hold in our

subsidiaries. As a result, we are dependent upon dividends and other payments from our subsidiaries to generate the cash necessary to fund our operations,
interest expense, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. There are currently no restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to transfer funds to us.

Cash flows from operating activities provided net cash for fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005 of $44.7, $41.5 and $34.5 million, respectively. Our other sources of capital are cash on hand and funding from our revolving
credit facility. As of December 29, 2007 we had $5.6 million of cash and cash equivalents available to meet our obligations. We had $25.0 million of borrowings available under the $25.0 million revolving portion of our New Credit Facility,
excluding $2.6 million letters of credit outstanding.

Payments on debt and issuance of debt, as well as equity transactions related to the Highmark and
GGC Moulin Acquisitions have been our principal financing activities. Cash used in financing activities for fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005 were $30.7 million, $28.0 million and $6.4 million, respectively.

Our working capital primarily consists of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and accrued expenses and was a deficit of $1.6
million as of December 29, 2007.

Capital expenditures for fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005 were $22.2 million, $17.5 million and $13.5 million,
respectively, and were our principal uses of cash for investing activities. The table below sets forth the components of these capital expenditures for fiscal 2005, 2006 and 2007.

Capital expenditures for fiscal 2008 are projected to be approximately $21.8 million. Of the planned 2008 capital
expenditures, approximately $12.6 million is related to commitments to new stores and approximately $9.2 million is expected to be for improvement of existing facilities and systems.

Credit Facilities

In December 2002, we entered into a credit agreement which provided for $117.0 million in
term loans and $25.0 million in revolving credit facilities (the Old Credit Facility). In connection with the GGC Moulin Acquisition, we entered into a new senior secured credit facility which consists of (i) the $165.0 million term
loan facility (the Term Loan Facility); and (ii) the $25.0 million secured revolving credit facility (the Revolver and together with the Term Loan Facility, the New Credit Facility). The borrowings of the New
Credit Facility together with the

net proceeds from the offering of the Initial Notes and the equity investment of Moulin and Golden Gate were used to pay a cash portion of the purchase price
of the GGC Moulin Acquisition, to repay debt outstanding under the Old Credit Facility, to retire our 91/8% Senior Subordinated
Notes due 2008 and our Floating Interest Rate Subordinated Term Securities due 2008, pay the related tender premium and accrued interest and to pay the related transaction fees and expenses. Thereafter, the New Credit Facility is available to
finance working capital requirements and general corporate purposes.

On December 21, 2006, we obtained an amendment and consent to our New
Credit Facility. The amendment primarily reduce the interest rate on the credit agreement as well as changes several covenants. A prepayment of $25 million in principal was made in conjunction with the lenders approval and a prepayment of $9.0
million in principal was made in conjunction with the filing of the 2006 10-K in March, 2007, as required under the amendment. Additional voluntary prepayments of $20.0 million were made throughout Fiscal 2007.

Amortization payments. Prior to the maturity date, funds borrowed under the Revolver may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed, without premium or penalty. The Term
Loan Facility quarterly amortization began in the third quarter of fiscal 2005 and continues through the date of maturity in fiscal 2012 according to the following schedule:



|     |  |               |       
|---- |  | ------------- | ------
|     |  | Amount       
|Year |  | (in millions)

|     |  |               |       

Interest.Each borrowing under the New Credit Facility bears interest at a floating rate,
which can either be, at our option, a base rate or a Eurodollar rate, in each case plus an applicable margin. The base rate is defined as the higher of (i) the JPMorgan Chase Bank prime rate or (ii) the federal funds effective rate, plus
one half percent (0.5%) per annum. The Eurodollar rate is defined as the rate for Eurodollar deposits for a period of one, two, three, six, nine or twelve months (as selected by us). The applicable margins, as amended in the December 2006 amendment,
are:



|                   |  |                  |   |  |                   |  
|------------------ |  | ---------------- | - |  | ----------------- | -
|New Facility       |  | Base Rate Margin |   |  | Eurodollar Margin |  
|Term Loan Facility |  | 1.50             | % |  | 2.50              | %
|Revolver           |  | 1.75             | % |  | 2.75              | %

In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the New Credit Facility, we are required to pay a
commitment fee to the lenders under the Revolver in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder at a rate equal to 0.50%. We will also pay customary letter of credit fees.

Security and guarantees. The New Credit Facility is secured by a valid first-priority perfected lien or pledge on
(i) 100% of the capital stock of each of our present and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries, (ii) 65% of the capital stock of each of our future first-tier foreign subsidiaries, (iii) 100% of our capital stock and
(iv) substantially all our present and future property and assets and those of each guarantor, subject to certain exceptions. Our obligations under the New Credit Facility are guaranteed by each of our existing and future direct and indirect
domestic subsidiaries and ECCA Holdings.

Covenants. The New Credit Facility documentation contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and
financial covenants. During the term of the New Credit Facility, the negative covenants restrict our ability to do certain things, including but not limited to:



| |  |  | incur additional indebtedness, including guarantees;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | create, incur, assume or permit to exist liens on property and assets;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | make loans and investments and enter into any Moulin or Golden Gate acquisitions and joint ventures;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | engage in sales, transfers and other dispositions of our property or assets;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | prepay, redeem or repurchase our debt (including the Notes), or amend or modify the terms of certain material debt (including the Notes) or certain other
agreements;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | declare or pay dividends to, make distributions to, or make redemptions and repurchases from, equity holders; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | agree to restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends and make distributions.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following financial covenants are included:



| |  |  | maximum consolidated leverage ratio;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------



| |  |  | maximum capital expenditures; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------



| |  |  | minimum rent-adjusted interest coverage ratio.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------

As of December 29, 2007, we were in compliance with all of our financial covenants.

Mandatory prepayment. Our
mandatory prepayment for Fiscal 2006 was waived by the December 2006 amendment which required a $25 million prepayment at the time of the amendment, as well as a $9.0 million prepayment in March 2007. Beginning with Fiscal 2007, we are required to
make a mandatory annual prepayment of the Term Loan Facility in an amount based on our leverage ratio of excess cash flows as defined in the New Credit Facility, which percentage we expect to be reduced upon our achieving certain consolidated
leverage ratios. Due to our voluntary prepayments during Fiscal 2007, no excess cash flow prepayment will be necessary. In addition, we are required to make a mandatory prepayment of the Term Loan Facility with:



| |  |  | 100% of the net cash proceeds of any property or asset sale or casualty, subject to certain exceptions and reinvestment rights;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 100% of the net cash proceeds of certain debt issuances, subject to certain exceptions; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 50% of the net cash proceeds from the issuance of additional equity interests, subject to certain exceptions.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mandatory prepayments will be applied to the Term Loan Facility, first to the scheduled installments of the term loan occurring within the next 12 months in direct order
of maturity, and

second, ratably to the remaining installments of the term loan. In conjunction with the December 2006 amendment, we prepaid $25.0 million. We may voluntarily
repay outstanding loans under the New Credit Facility at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage costs with respect to Eurodollar loans.

Notes

On February 4, 2005, we issued $152.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 10 3/4% Senior
Subordinated Notes (the Initial Notes) due 2015. We filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to an offer to exchange the Initial Notes for notes which have terms substantially identical in
all material respects to the Initial Notes, except such notes are freely transferable by the holders thereof and are issued without any covenant regarding registration (the "Notes"). The registration statement was declared effective on
September 26, 2005. The exchange period ended October 31, 2005. The Notes are the only notes of the Company which are currently outstanding.

The
Notes:



| |  |  | are general unsecured, senior subordinated obligations of the Company;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | mature on February 15, 2015;
| | - |  | ----------------------------



| |  |  | are subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the Indenture) of the Company, including the New Credit Facility;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | rank equally in right of payment to any future Senior Subordinated Indebtedness (as defined in the Indenture) of the Company;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by each existing Subsidiary (as defined in the Indenture) of the Company and any future Restricted
Subsidiary (as defined in the Indenture) of the Company that is not a Foreign Subsidiary (as defined in the Indenture);
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | are effectively subordinated to any future Indebtedness and other liabilities of Subsidiaries of the Company that are not guaranteeing the notes;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | may default in the event there is a failure to make an interest or principal payment under the New Credit Facility.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Interest.Interest on the Notes compounds semi-annually and:



| |  |  | accrues at the rate of 10.75% per annum;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------



| |  |  | is payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | is payable to the holders of record on February 1 and August 1 immediately preceding the related interest payment dates; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | is computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Optional redemption.At any time prior to February 15, 2010, we may redeem all or part of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior notice at a redemption price equal
to the sum of (i) 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus (ii) the Applicable Premium (as defined in the Indenture) as of the date of redemption, plus (iii) accrued and unpaid interest on the notes, if any, to the date of
redemption (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

On or after February 15, 2010, we may redeem all or, from time to time, a part of the notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice, at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount)
plus accrued and unpaid interest on the notes, if any, to the

applicable redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment
date), if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on February 15 of the years indicated below:

|2012                |  | 101.792          | %
|2013 and thereafter |  | 100.000          | %

Covenants. The Notes contain customary affirmative and negative covenants including but not limited to:



| |  |  | payment of securities
| | - |  | ---------------------



| |  |  | limitation on indebtedness;
| | - |  | ---------------------------



| |  |  | limitation on restricted payments;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------



| |  |  | limitation on liens;
| | - |  | --------------------



| |  |  | initial and future subsidiary guarantors; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------



| |  |  | change of control.
| | - |  | ------------------

In connection with the
borrowings made under the Initial Notes, we incurred approximately $10.3 million in debt issuance costs. In conjunction with the Highmark Acquisition, the unamortized amount of debt issuance costs was included in goodwill and thus is no longer being
amortized.

On May 8, 2006, the Company commenced a tender offer for the Notes related to the Highmark Acquisition. The offer expired on May 25
with no redemptions.

Preferred Stock.During 1998, the Company issued 300,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share. Dividends
on shares of Preferred Stock were cumulative from the date of issue (whether or not declared) and payable when and where declared from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Company. Such dividends accrued on a daily basis from the original
date of issue at an annual rate per share equal to 13% of the original purchase price per share, with such amount compounded quarterly. Cumulative preferred dividends in arrears were $40.8 million and $42.3 million as of January 1, 2005 and
March 1, 2005, respectively. The Preferred Stock had no voting rights. The Preferred Stock was redeemed at $100 per share in conjunction with the GGC Moulin Acquisition and all accumulated and unpaid dividends were paid in full.

Future Capital Resources.Based upon current operations, anticipated cost savings and future growth, the Company believes that its cash flow from
operations, together with borrowings currently available under the Revolver, are adequate to meet its anticipated requirements for working capital, capital expenditures and scheduled principal and interest payments through the next twelve months.
The ability of the Company to satisfy its financial covenants within its New Credit Facilities, meet its debt service obligations and reduce its debt will be dependent on the future performance of the Company, which in turn, will be subject to
general economic conditions and to financial, business, and other factors, including factors beyond the Companys control. See Item 1A. Risk Factors  Risks relating to the Notes  We may not be able to repurchase the Notes upon
a change of control. The Company believes that its ability to repay

##### Table of Contents

the Notes and amounts outstanding under the New Credit Facilities at maturity will likely require additional financing. The Company cannot provide assurance
that additional financing will be available to it. A portion of the Companys debt bears interest at floating rates; therefore, its financial condition is and will continue to be affected by changes in prevailing interest rates.

Contractual Obligations. The Company is committed to make cash payments in the future on the following types of agreements:



| |  |  | Long-term debt
| | - |  | --------------



| |  |  | Operating leases for stores and office facilities
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------

Off-balance sheet arrangements

As of December 29, 2007, our only off-balance sheet arrangements were letters of credit, in the amount of $2.6 million, issued under our old credit
facility primarily to insurance companies and remain outstanding under our New Credit Facility.

Critical accounting policies

Critical accounting policies are those that require us to make assumptions that are difficult or complex about matters that are uncertain and may change
in subsequent periods, resulting in changes to reported results.

##### Table of Contents

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 Summary of significant accounting
policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financials Statements. The majority of these accounting policies do not require us to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments or estimates or the variability of the estimates is not material.
However, the following policies could be deemed critical and require us to make judgments and estimates. We have discussed these critical accounting policies with the audit committee of the board of directors.



| |  |  | Accounts receivable are primarily from third-party payors related to the sale of eyewear and include receivables from insurance reimbursements, optometrist
management fees, credit card companies, merchandise, rent and license fee receivables. Our allowance for doubtful accounts requires significant estimation and primarily consists of amounts owed to us by third party insurance payors. This estimate is
based on the historical ratio of collections to billings and adjustments to estimates of contractual reimbursement arrangements from third-party payors. Our allowance for doubtful accounts was $2.1 million and $2.2 million at December 30, 2006
and December 29, 2007, respectively. Revenues from third-party payors under managed vision care plans include estimated adjustments based on historical experience under the terms of the payor contracts with such third-party payors.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Inventory consists principally of eyeglass frames, ophthalmic lenses and contact lenses and is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the
weighted average method which approximates the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Our inventory reserves require significant estimation and are based on product with low turnover or deemed by us to be unsaleable and an estimate of shrinkage, which
is the variance between the expected balance and the actual physical counts of inventory. Our inventory reserve was $2.1 million at December 30, 2006 and December 29, 2007, respectively.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | In accordance with SFAS No. 142, we have defined our reporting unit as the consolidated Company and performed our annual assessment of goodwill on a
consolidated basis as of December 29, 2007, and based upon our analysis, we believe that no impairment of goodwill exists. We have also performed our annual assessment of trade names and believe no impairment exists as of December 29,
2007. There have been no indicators of impairment for goodwill or trade names since this assessment.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Valuation allowances for deferred tax assets reduce deferred tax assets when it is deemed more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets
will expire before realization of the benefit or that future deductibility is not probable due to taxable losses. Although realization is not assured, due to historical taxable income and the probability of future taxable income, we believe it is
more likely than not that all of the deferred tax asset will be realized.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We maintain our own self-insurance group health plan. The plan provides medical benefits for participating employees. We have an employers stop loss insurance
policy to cover individual claims in excess of $200,000 per employee. The amount charged to health insurance expense is based on estimates of future liabilities under the plan obtained from an independent actuarial firm. We believe the accrued
liability of approximately $0.9 million and $1.0 million, which is included in other accrued expenses, as of December 30, 2006 and December 29, 2007, respectively, is adequate to cover future benefit payments for claims that occurred prior
to December 29, 2007.

Inflation

The impact
of inflation on our operations has not been significant to date. While we do not believe our business is highly sensitive to inflation, there can be no assurance that a high rate of inflation would not have an adverse impact on our operations.

Seasonality and Annual Results

The Companys
sales fluctuate seasonally. Historically, the Companys highest sales and earnings occur in the first and third quarters. In addition, annual results are affected by the Companys growth.



|ITEM 7A. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
|-------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

We are exposed to various market risks. Market risk
is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market prices and rates. We do not enter into derivative or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. All of our borrowings under our New
Credit Facility bear interest at a floating rate. As of December 29, 2007, we had approximately $106.9 million of long-term floating-rate debt under our New Credit Facility. Accordingly, our net income will be affected by changes in interest
rates. Assuming a 1% point change in the interest rate under our New Credit Facility, our annual interest expense would change by approximately $1.1 million. See Liquidity and Capital Resources under Item 7. Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. In the event of changes in interest rates, we may take actions to mitigate our exposure by effectively fixing the interest rate on all or a portion of our floating rate debt.
However, due to the uncertainty of the actions that would be taken and their possible effects, this analysis assumes no such actions.

Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The management of Eye Care Centers of America, Inc. (the Company) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Companys internal control over financial reporting
is a process designed under the supervision of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and preparation of the Companys financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. As of December 29, 2007, management assessed the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria
for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control  Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. This assessment included review of the documentation
of controls, evaluation of design effectiveness of controls, testing of operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion to this assessment. Based on the assessment, management determined that the Company maintained effective internal control
over financial reporting as of December 29, 2007, based on those criteria.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting
that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by our
registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only managements report in this annual report.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The Compensation Committee determines our incentive compensation objectives for our Principal Officers. The committee reviews key compensation elements for our Principal
Officers. During fiscal 2007, the committee did not receive information from a compensation consultant; however, a review of executive compensation by a third party consultant is in process for fiscal 2008. The following discussion details and
analyzes our executive compensation programs and the amounts shown in the executive compensation tables that follow.

Subsequent to the GGC Moulin Acquisition in March 2005, the material elements to our executive compensation programs are base salary and
incentive based bonuses. The Company does not have, nor does it intend to implement, a stock ownership or stock option plan.

Base Salary.Base
salary is determined by annual evaluation of performance as well as experience.

Fiscal 2007 Incentive Plan for Senior Executive Management. The
incentive based bonus plan for James J. Denny, Douglas C. Shepard and George E. Gebhardt, the senior executive management team, had both a short term and long term element. Both elements were based upon key business drivers and the performance of
the consolidated HVHC group. Approximately 40% of the incentive was based upon pretax earnings targets for the HVHC group with the remaining 60% based upon various key business drivers. For the long term element, the key business drivers were three
year cumulative performance of EBITDA, return on invested capital and Davis Vision managed care enrollment. For the short term element, the key business drivers were fiscal 2007 pretax net income performance, Davis Vision managed care enrollment,
our Chicago stores net revenue and unit sales of Viva branded product. All elements were measured against target numbers agreed to by the Compensation Committee. The compensation payment ranged between 90% to 115% of each senior
executives annual base salary.

Fiscal 2007 Incentive Plan for Key Management.The incentive based bonuses had an incentive for both personal
performance goals and company performance goals. The company performance goals are strictly based upon our companys results and are not affected by the consolidated HVHC group. Personal performance goals represent 10% of the incentive and are
set on an annual basis and relate to the executives principal duties. The overall company performance goal represents 90% of the incentive and is set on an annual basis and is related to adjusted EBITDA results for the fiscal year as compared
to the financial plan approved by the Board of Directors. See Item 6. Selected Financial Data for a discussion of adjusted EBITDA. The compensation payment ranges between 0% and 100% of the executives annual base salary.

Fiscal 2008 Incentive Plan for Senior Executive Management. The incentive based bonus plan for David L. Holmberg, James J. Denny, George E.
Gebhardt, Jennifer L. Kelley and Charles M. Kellstadt, the senior executive management team, has both a short term and long term element. Both elements are based upon key business drivers and the performance of the consolidated HVHC group.
Approximately 40% of the incentive is based upon pretax earnings for the HVHC group with the remaining 60% based upon various key business drivers. For the long term element, the key business drivers are three year cumulative performance of EBITDA,
return on invested capital

and Davis Vision managed care enrollment. For the short term element, the key business drivers are fiscal 2008 pretax net income performance, retail sales to
Davis Vision managed care enrollees, our retail locations net revenues related to progressive lens sales and unit sales of Viva branded product. The compensation payments range between 0% to 100% of each senior executives annual base
salary.

Fiscal 2008 Incentive Plan for Key Management.The incentive based bonuses have an incentive for both personal performance goals and
company performance goals. The company performance goals are strictly based upon our companys results and are not affected by the consolidated HVHC group. Personal performance goals represent 10% of the incentive and are set on an annual basis
and relate to the executives principal duties. The overall company performance goal represents 90% of the incentive and is set on an annual basis and is related to adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year as compared to the financial plan approved
by the Board of Directors. See Item 6. Selected Consolidated Financial Data for discussion of adjusted EBITDA. The compensation payment ranges between 0% and 100% of the executives annual base salary.

Director Compensation.We pay Dr. Blandino and Mr. Springer $1,500 for each board meeting in which they participate. Prior to April 1, 2007, the
payment was $1,200. In addition, we pay these directors $1,000 for each meeting of the Audit committee or Personnel & Compensation committee in which they participate. Effective November 1, 2007, the committee meeting participation fee
was reduced to $500 for certain meetings of the Audit Committee limited to SEC filings. Dr. Blandino and Mr. Springer also serve as directors on the boards of three of our affiliated vision companies that have also authorized the same
meeting participation fees. When our board or committee meetings are held on the same day as the meetings of those affiliates, the director receives a single meeting participation fee for all the meetings capped at the above amounts and the cost is
prorated among each entity. No other directors receive compensation for their attendance at board or committee meetings. The following table sets forth certain information concerning the compensation paid during Fiscal 2007 to our board of
directors.

|-------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------

THL Equity Advisors

In connection with the recapitalization of the Company in 1998, we entered into a management agreement with THL Equity Advisors IV, LLC, or THL Advisors, dated as of
April 24, 1998. We incurred $500 thousand for Fiscal 2004 and $81 thousand for the fifty-nine day period ended March 1, 2005 for management and other consulting services. The management agreement was terminated in conjunction with the GGC
Moulin Acquisition.

During fiscal 1998, Bernard W. Andrews, one of our former directors and who was our Chief Executive Officer at the time, purchased
$1.0 million of our common stock, which was paid for by the delivery by Mr. Andrews of a promissory note payable to us with an original principal amount of $1.0 million. Mr. Andrews' promissory note accrued interest at a fixed annual rate
of 9.0% and was secured by 96,061 shares of our common stock held by Bernard W. Andrews Revocable Trust U/A. The promissory note plus all accrued interest was paid in full in conjunction with the GGC Moulin Acquisition.

GGC Moulin

In connection with the GGC Moulin Acquisition, we became
a party to an advisory agreement with ECCA Holdings and an entity affiliated with Golden Gate, and a separate advisory agreement with ECCA Holdings and Moulin. Pursuant to each advisory agreement, Golden Gate, on the one hand, and Moulin, on the
other hand, were to be compensated for the financial, investment banking, management advisory and other services performed for future financial, investment banking, management advisory and other services they performed on our behalf. Each advisory
agreement was terminated in conjunction with the Highmark Acquisition.

##### Table of Contents

We prepaid $3.0 million to Golden Gate and $1.5 million to Moulin on the date of the GGC Moulin Acquisition as
compensation for advisory services to be rendered through the three-year period and 18-month period, respectively, immediately following the date of the GGC Moulin Acquisition. During the three hundred five day period ended December 31, 2005,
we expensed approximately $1.7 million related to the above arrangements. During the two hundred thirteen day period ended August 1, 2006, we expensed approximately $1.0 million related to the advisory agreements and the remaining balance of
$1.6 million was written off at the time of the Highmark Acquisition.

Highmark

In connection with the Highmark Acquisition, we became a wholly-owned subsidiary of HVHC. HVHC also owns Davis Vision, Inc. (Davis), a national managed vision care and optical retail company, and Viva
Optique, Inc. (Viva), an international designer and distributor of eyewear and sunwear. Prior to the Highmark Acquisition, we were doing business with both Davis and Viva and these relationships have continued. During the one hundred
fifty-one days ended December 30, 2006 and for Fiscal 2007, we recorded revenue of $2.8 million and $13.4 million, respectively, related to managed care reimbursements due from Davis. We have a receivable of $0.5 million and $0.9 million,
related to these revenues at December 30, 2006 and December 29, 2007, respectively. During the one hundred fifty-one days ended December 30, 2006 and for Fiscal 2007, we recorded cost of goods sold of $0.2 million and $7.3 million,
respectively, related to products purchased from Viva that were sold to our customers and purchased subsequent to the Highmark Acquisition. We purchased $3.4 million and $9.5 million of inventory through the one hundred fifty-one days ended
December 30, 2006 and Fiscal 2007, respectively.

Management and Administrative Agreements.On December 15, 2006, we entered into the
Management and Administrative Services Agreement with our parent, HVHC Inc. This agreement allows HVHC to charge us for the costs of its management and administration. We also entered into an Administrative Services Agreement with Highmark,
HVHCs parent. This agreement allows Highmark to allocate the costs of its administrative services to us. In fiscal 2006, there were no transactions. In fiscal 2007, we paid Highmark and its affiliates $0.9 million for management fees. In June
2007, we began contracting with Highmark to manage our employee health insurance benefits. We paid Highmark $0.9 million in administrative fees for plan administration and another $4.6 million was paid for claims reimbursement.

Tax Allocation Agreement.Subsequent to the Highmark transaction, we became part of Highmarks consolidated federal tax return and no longer file a tax
return on our own. On December 15, 2006, we entered into the Tax Allocation Agreement with Highmark. This agreement provides a mechanism to allocate our consolidated federal tax liability or benefit as well as for reimbursing Highmark for
payment of tax liability. In fiscal 2006, there were no transactions. In 2007, we paid Highmark $3.6 million related to federal taxes for the one hundred fifty-one day period ended December 30, 2006 and $9.7 million related to estimated federal
taxes for fiscal 2007. We also paid Highmark $0.5 million related to state taxes in fiscal 2007.

Director Independence

We are not a listed issuer whose securities are listed on a national securities exchange or on an inter-dealer quotation system which has requirements that a majority of the board of directors be independent.

However, if we were a listed issuer whose debt securities were traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and subject to such requirements, we would be entitled to
rely on the debt listings exception contained in the NYSE Listing Manual, Rule 303A.00 for the exception from the requirements of Rule 303A, generally, including the requirement to have a Board of Directors made up of a majority of independent
directors.

Furthermore, because we are not a listed issuer, we are also not subject to the requirements of Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act with respect to
the independence of the members of our audit committee. As a wholly owned subsidiary of ECCA Holdings, we have not adopted any additional set of categorical standards for independence.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Eye Care Centers of America, Inc.

San Antonio, Texas

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, shareholders equity, and cash flows for the three hundred and five day period ended
December 31, 2005 and the fifty-nine day period ended March 1, 2005 of Eye Care Centers of America, Inc. and subsidiaries. Our audit also included the financial statement schedule listed in the index at item 15 (a) (2). These financial statements
and schedule are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audit.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we
express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three hundred and five day period ended December 31, 2005 and the fifty-nine day period ended March 1,
2005 of Eye Care Centers of America, Inc. and subsidiaries in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS

(Dollar amounts in thousands unless indicated otherwise)

The purchase method of accounting was used to record assets and liabilities assumed by the Company. Such accounting generally results in increased depreciation recorded in future periods. Accordingly, the accompanying financial
statements of the THLee Predecessor, the GGC Moulin Predecessor and the Company are not comparable in all material respects since those financial statements report financial position, results of operations and cash flows of these three separate
entities. See Note 1.

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY (DEFICIT)

(Dollar amounts in thousands unless indicated otherwise)

The purchase method of accounting was used to record assets and liabilities assumed by the GGC Moulin Predecessor and the Company. Such accounting generally results in increased depreciation recorded in future
periods. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements of the THLee Predecessor, GGC Moulin Predecessor and the Company are not comparable in all material respects since those financial statements report financial position, results of
operations and cash flows of these three separate entities. See Note 1.

EYE CARE CENTERS OF AMERICA, INC.

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS

(Dollar amounts in thousands unless indicated otherwise)

The purchase method of accounting was used to record assets and liabilities assumed by the Company. Such accounting generally results in increased depreciation recorded in future periods. Accordingly, the accompanying financial
statements of the THLee Predecessor, the GGC Moulin Predecessor and the Company are not comparable in all material respects since those financial statements report financial position, results of operations and cash flows of these two separate
entities. See Note 1.

1. Description of business and organization

Description of business

Eye Care Centers of America, Inc. (the Company, us, we and our) operates optical retail stores that sell prescription eyewear, contact lenses, sunglasses and ancillary
optical products, and feature on-site laboratories. Our operations are located in 36 states, primarily in the Southwest, Midwest and Southeast, along the Gulf Coast and Atlantic Coast and in the Pacific Northwest regions of the United States.

GGC Moulin Acquisition

On December 2, 2004, we entered into a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which Thomas H. Lee Partners agreed to sell all of its equity interests in us to ECCA Holdings Corporation (ECCA
Holdings), a company controlled by Moulin Global Eyecare Holdings Limited, which we refer to as Moulin, and Golden Gate Capital, which we refer to as Golden Gate (the GGC Moulin Acquisition) for a purchase price of $458.1 million.
Upon consummation of the agreement on March 1, 2005, we became a wholly owned subsidiary of ECCA Holdings, which was in turn owned 56.5% by Offer High Investments, Ltd., 42.5% by Golden Gate and 1% by our management. In connection with the GGC
Moulin Acquisition, we issued $152 million aggregate principal amount of 103/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due February 15,
2015, which we refer to as the Initial Notes, and entered into a $190 million senior credit facility, which we refer to as the New Credit Facility. The net proceeds from the Initial Notes together with borrowings under the New Credit Facility and a
$172.7 million equity contribution from Moulin and Golden Gate were used to finance the GGC Moulin Acquisition, including the permanent repayment of our old credit facility and the retirement of our 91/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 and our Floating Interest Rate Subordinated Term Securities due 2008, which together we refer to as the Retired Notes. We also entered
into a long-term supply agreement with Moulin. To consummate the GGC Moulin Acquisition, approximately $43.5 million in fees and expenses were incurred by Moulin and Golden Gate. These fees were included in the Companys additional paid in
capital account. All of these transactions together are collectively referred to as (the transactions); prior to the transactions the company is referred to as the THLee Predecessor and subsequent to the transactions the
company is referred to as the GGC Moulin Predecessor. The purchase method of accounting was used to record assets and liabilities assumed by the GGC Moulin Predecessor. Such accounting generally results in increased depreciation recorded
in future periods. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements of the THLee Predecessor and the GGC Moulin Predecessor are not comparable in all material respects since those financial statements report financial position, results of
operations and cash flows of these two separate entities.

As a result of the GGC Moulin Acquisition, we incurred approximately $15.6 million
of non-recurring expenses. These expenses consisted of professional fees incurred by the selling shareholders, premium paid to retire the Retired Notes and the write off of previously capitalized loan fees related to the Retired Notes and old credit
facility.

The GGC Moulin Acquisition was accounted for using the push-down method of accounting. Accordingly, a portion of the
purchase price was preliminary allocated to the identifiable net assets acquired based on their estimated fair values with the balance of the purchase price, $368.1 million, included in goodwill.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at date of acquisition on March 1, 2005. We obtained
third-party valuations of certain intangible assets and property and equipment:

Highmark Acquisition

On April 25, 2006, HVHC Inc. (HVHC), a subsidiary of Highmark Inc. (Highmark), and ECCA Holdings Corporation entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) pursuant to which ECCA
Holdings was merged with a wholly-owned subsidiary of HVHC, with ECCA Holdings being the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of HVHC (the Highmark Acquisition). Eye Care Centers of America, Inc. is owned by ECCA
Holdings and as a result of the merger became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Highmark. The transaction closed on August 1, 2006.

Prior to the
transaction the company is referred to as the GGC Moulin Predecessor and subsequent to the transaction the company is referred to as the Company. The purchase method of accounting was used to record assets and liabilities
assumed by the Company. Such accounting generally results in increased depreciation and amortization recorded in future periods. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements of the GGC Moulin Predecessor and the Company are not comparable in
all material respects since those financial statements report financial position, results of operations and cash flows of these two separate entities.

The aggregate merger consideration paid to the shareholders of ECCA Holdings to redeem all common stock consisted of
$308.6 million in cash. HVHC incurred approximately $8.6 million in transaction fees to consummate the transaction. We obtained a waiver on our New Credit Facility (defined later in this document) for the change of control provisions related to the
Merger Agreement. In addition, we concluded a mandatory change of control offer on our Notes (defined later in this document) on August 11, 2006 without any redemptions.

In connection with the closing of the Merger Agreement, all ECCA Holdings preferred stock held by the directors and employees of the Company was cancelled and settled out of the proceeds of the merger consideration
discussed above.

As a result of the Highmark Acquisition, we incurred approximately $7.5 million of non-recurring expenses. These expenses consisted of
professional fees incurred by the selling shareholders, management transaction bonuses and the write-off of the balance of prepaid advisory fees to Moulin and Golden Gate.

The Highmark Acquisition was accounted for using the push-down method of accounting. Accordingly, a portion of the purchase price was preliminarily allocated to the tangible identifiable and intangible assets and
liabilities acquired based on their estimated fair values with the balance of the purchase price, $523.4 million included in goodwill. Approximately $54.2 million of this goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition on August 1, 2006 (dollars in
thousands):

We have obtained third-party valuations of our trademarks and our property and equipment. We utilized our
experience in the retail real estate industry to review our leases for appropriate valuation. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142, no amortization of indefinite-lived assets or goodwill will be recorded.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of presentation

The financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries
and certain private optometrists with practices managed under long-term practice management agreements by subsidiaries of the Company (the ODs). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period statements to conform to the current period presentation.

The acquisitions of
the Company (see footnote 1) were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations. The purchase price has been
pushed-down and allocated to the assets and liabilities of the Company. Accordingly, the post-acquisition consolidated financial statements reflect a new basis of accounting. The Companys Consolidated Statements of Operations and
Cash Flows for the fifty-nine days ended March 1, 2005 reflect the operations of the Company prior to the GGC Moulin Acquisition. The Companys Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows for the two hundred five days ended
December 31, 2005 and the two hundred thirteen days ended August 1, 2006 and the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2005 reflect the operations of the Company prior to the Highmark Acquisition. Hence there is a blackline
division on the financial statements, which is intended to signify that the reporting entities shown are not comparable.

Use of estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and
assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Reporting periods

We use a 52/53-week reporting format. Fiscal year 2005 ended December 31, 2005 (Fiscal 2005) and consisted of 52 weeks, which has been divided into the 59 day period ended March 1, 2005 of the
THLee Predecessor and the 305 day period ended December 31, 2005 of the GGC Moulin Predecessor. Fiscal year 2006 ended December 30, 2006 (Fiscal 2006) and consisted of 52 weeks, which has been divided into the 213 day period
ended August 1, 2006 of the GGC Moulin Predecessor and the 151 day period ended December 30, 2006 of the Company. Fiscal year 2007 ended December 29, 2007 (Fiscal 2007) and consisted of 52 weeks.

Cash and cash equivalents

We consider investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents for purposes of disclosure in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of cash flows. The majority of payments due from
banks for third-party credit cards and debit cards process within 24-48 hours, except for transactions occurring on a Friday, which are generally processed the following Monday. All credit card and debit card transactions that process in less than
seven days are classified as cash and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value.

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are primarily from third-party payors related to the sale of eyewear and include receivables from insurance reimbursements, optometrist
management fees, merchandise, rent and license fee receivables. Accounts receivable are stated at carrying value which approximates fair value. Our allowance for doubtful accounts requires significant estimation and primarily relates to amounts owed
to us by third-party insurance payors. This estimate is based on the historical ratio of collections to billings. Management writes off receivable balances when they are deemed uncollectible. Our allowance for doubtful accounts was $2.1 million at
December 30, 2006 and $2.2 million at December 29, 2007.

Inventory

Inventory consists principally of eyeglass frames, ophthalmic lenses and contact lenses and is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the weighted-average method. Our inventory reserves
require significant estimation and are based on product with low turnover or deemed by management to be unsaleable as well as an estimate of shrinkage. Our inventory reserve was $2.1 million at December 30, 2006 and December 29, 2007,
respectively.

Property and equipment

Property and
equipment is recorded at cost. For property and equipment acquired through the GGC Moulin Acquisition and the Highmark Acquisition, balances were adjusted to reflect their fair market value, as determined by an independent appraiser. We utilized our
experience in the retail real estate industry to review our leases for appropriate valuation. For financial statement purposes, depreciation of building, furniture and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line method over the shorter of the life of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciation of capital leased assets is included in depreciation expense and
is calculated using the straight-line method over the term of the lease.

Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for significant betterments are
capitalized.

Goodwill

Goodwill is the amount of
excess purchase price over the fair market value of acquired net assets and identified intangibles. In accordance with SFAS No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, we test for the impairment of goodwill on at least an annual
basis. Our goodwill impairment test involves comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying amount. Fair value is estimated using earnings multiples comparable to asset market values. If the fair value is less than the
carrying value, goodwill is considered impaired. Based on our analysis at December 29, 2007, we believe that no impairment of goodwill exists and there are no indicators of impairment since this assessment.

Other assets

Other assets consist of deferred debt financing costs, trade names and deposits. The deferred debt financing costs are amortized into expense over the life of the associated debt using the effective interest method. The trade names are
being amortized over a 25 year life. As a result of the Highmark Acquisition, the deferred financing costs were eliminated in estimating the fair value of the liabilities of the Company as discussed in Note 1. Other assets are stated net of
accumulated amortization of $0.1 million at December 30, 2006 and $0.4 million at December 29, 2007. Amortization of intangible assets was $127,000 in 2006 and $306,000 in 2007 and is expected to be approximately $306,000 in 2008 through
2012.

Long-lived assets

Long-lived assets consist primarily of store furnishings and lab equipment. Long-lived assets to be held and used and long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are reviewed periodically for indicators of impairment. We believe that no
impairment of long-lived assets exists.

Deferred revenuereplacement certificates and warranty contracts

At the time of a frame sale, some customers purchase a warranty contract covering eyewear defects or damage during the 12-month period subsequent to the date of the sale.
Revenue relating to these contracts is deferred and classified as deferred revenue on the accompanying balance sheet. Such revenue is recognized over the life of the warranty contract (one year) based on our estimate of the cost to fulfill the
warranty obligation. Costs incurred to fulfill the warranty are expensed when incurred.

Income taxes

We record income taxes using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting
and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

In June, 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes  An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109(FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for
uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109 (SFAS 109). FIN 48 clarifies the application of SFAS 109 by defining criteria that an individual tax position must meet for any part of the benefit of that
position to be recognized in the financial statements. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on the measurement, derecognition, classification and disclosure of tax positions, along with accounting for the related interest and penalties. Adoption
of FIN 48, effective December 31, 2006, had no effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Upon the adoption of FIN 48, the Company had a $1.4 million unrecognized tax benefit which, if recognized, would
favorably impact the Companys effective tax rate. The unrecognized tax benefit is classified as other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. There was a $1.4 million adjustment for uncertain state income tax positions
recognized in the forth quarter of fiscal 2007. The Company does not expect to record any material changes within the next twelve months. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax
expenses. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions of $0.9 million were accrued at December 29, 2007.

In conjunction with the
Highmark Acquisition, we are now part of the consolidated Highmark federal tax return and no longer file a stand alone federal tax return. We entered into a tax sharing agreement with Highmark whereas we pay our tax liability directly to Highmark
based upon our results.

Revenue recognition

We
recognize sales and related costs upon the sale of products at company-owned retail locations when the following conditions have been met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) services have been rendered and
(iii) collection of a fixed or determinable fee is considered reasonably assured. Licensing fees collected from independent optometrists for using our trade name Master Eye Associates, insurance premiums and management fees are
recognized when earned. Historically, our highest sales occur in the first and third quarters.

Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold includes the cost of the actual product, buying, warehousing, distribution, shipping, handling, lab, and delivery costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and
administrative expenses consist of all retail and doctor payroll related expenses, advertising, occupancy, depreciation and miscellaneous store expenses not related to costs of goods sold.

Advertising costs

Our advertising costs include costs related to
broadcast and print media advertising expenses. We expense production costs and media advertising costs when incurred. For the fifty-nine day period ended March 1, 2005, for the three hundred five day period ended December 31, 2005, for
the two hundred thirteen day period ended August 1, 2006, for the one hundred fifty-one day period ended December 30, 2006 and for the period ended December 29, 2007 advertising costs amounted to approximately $7,405, $26,999,
$22,259, $14,263 and $39,985 respectively.

Fair value of financial instruments

Our receivables, payables, and accrued liabilities are current assets and obligations and on normal terms and, accordingly, the recorded values are believed by management to approximate fair value. The fair value of
indebtedness differs from its carrying value based on current market interest rate conditions as evidenced by market transactions.

Recent accounting
pronouncements

In the first quarter of 2007 the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities. SFAS 159 permits companies to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible items at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in the determination of net income. The decision to elect the fair value
option is generally applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis, is irrevocable unless a new election date occurs, and is applied to the entire instrument and not to only specified risks or cash flows or a portion of the instrument. Items
eligible for the fair value option include recognized financial assets and liabilities, other than an investment in a consolidated subsidiary, defined benefit pension plans, OPEB plans, leases and financial instruments classified in equity. An
investment accounted for by the equity method is an eligible item. The specified election dates include the date the company first recognizes the eligible item, the date the company enters into an eligible commitment, the date an investment
first becomes eligible to be accounted for by the equity method and the date SFAS No. 159 first becomes effective for the company. If we elect to measure eligible items at fair value under the standard, we would be required to present
certain additional disclosures for each item we elect. SFAS No. 159 became effective for us on December 30, 2007. We do not expect to elect to measure any additional assets or liabilities at fair value that are not already measured at
fair value under existing standards, therefore the adoption of this standard will not have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In September, 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS
No. 157 establishes a single definition of fair value and a framework for measuring fair value, sets out a fair value hierarchy to be used to classify the source of information used in fair value measurements, and requires new disclosures of
assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on their level in the hierarchy. SFAS No. 157 is effective for all fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and is to be applied prospectively. In February, 2008, the FASB issued
Staff Positions No. 157-1 and No. 157-2 which partially defer the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for one year for certain non-financial assets and liabilities and remove certain leasing transactions from its scope. The Company is
currently evaluating the impacts and disclosures of this standard, but would not expect SFAS No. 157 to have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

In December, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations, (SFAS 141R). SFAS 141R establishes
principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. SFAS 141R
also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This statement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is
currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of SFAS 141R on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51, which establishes new standards governing the accounting for and
reporting of non-controlling interests (NCIs) in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and the loss of control of subsidiaries. Certain provisions of this standard indicate, among other things, that NCIs (previously referred to as minority
interests) be treated as a separate component of equity, not as a liability; that increases and decrease in the parents ownership interest that leave control intact be treated as equity transactions, rather than as step acquisitions or
dilution gains or losses; and that losses of a partially owned consolidated subsidiary be allocated to the NCI even when such allocation might result in a deficit balance. This standard also requires changes to certain presentation and disclosure
requirements. SFAS No. 160 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2008. The provisions of the standard are to be applied to all NCIs prospectively, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements,
which are to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the future impacts and disclosures of this standard.

3. Self-insurance

We maintain our own self-insurance group health plan. The plan provides medical benefits for participating employees. We have an employers stop loss insurance policy to cover individual claims in excess of $200 per employee. The
amount charged to health insurance expense is based on estimates obtained from an actuarial firm. Management believes the accrued liability of approximately $0.9 million and $1.0 million, which is included in other accrued expenses as of
December 30, 2006 and December 29, 2007, respectively, is adequate to cover future benefit payments for claims that occurred prior to the period end.

4. Related party transactions

THLee

In
connection with the recapitalization of the Company in 1998, we entered into a management agreement with THL Equity Advisors IV, LLC, or THL Advisors, dated as of April 24, 1998. We incurred $81 for the fifty-nine day period ended March 1,
2005 for management and other consulting services. The management agreement was terminated in conjunction with the GGC Moulin Acquisition.

GGC Moulin

In connection with the GGC Moulin Acquisition, we became a party to an advisory agreement with ECCA Holdings and an entity affiliated with Golden Gate,
and a separate advisory agreement with ECCA Holdings and Moulin. Pursuant to each advisory agreement, Golden Gate, on the one hand, and Moulin, on the other hand, were to be compensated for the financial, investment banking, management advisory and
other services performed for future financial, investment banking, management advisory and other services they performed on our behalf. Each advisory agreement was terminated in conjunction with the Highmark Acquisition.

We prepaid $3.0 million to Golden Gate and $1.5 million to Moulin on the date of the GGC Moulin Acquisition as compensation for advisory services to be rendered through
the three-year period and 18-month period, respectively, immediately following the date of the GGC Moulin Acquisition. During the three hundred five day period ended December 31, 2005, we expensed approximately $1.7 million related to the above
arrangements. During the two hundred thirteen day period ended August 1, 2006, we expensed approximately $1.0 million related to the advisory agreements and the remaining balance of $1.6 million was written off at the time of the Highmark
Acquisition.

Highmark

In connection with the Highmark
Acquisition, we are wholly-owned by HVHC. HVHC also owns Davis Vision, Inc. (Davis), a national managed vision care and optical retail

company, and Viva Optique, Inc. (Viva), an international designer and distributor of eyewear and sunwear. Prior to the Highmark Acquisition, we
were doing business with both Davis and Viva and these relationships have continued. During the one hundred fifty-one days ended December 30, 2006 and for Fiscal 2007, we recorded revenue of $2.8 million and $13.4 million, respectively, related
to managed care reimbursements due from Davis and have a receivable of $0.5 million and $0.9 million, related to these revenues at December 30, 2006 and December 29, 2007, respectively. During the one hundred fifty-one days ended
December 30, 2006 and for Fiscal 2007, we recorded cost of goods sold of $0.2 million and $7.3 million, respectively, related to products purchased from Viva that were sold to our customers and purchased subsequent to the Highmark Acquisition
and purchased $3.4 million and $9.5 million of inventory for the one hundred fifty-one days ended December 30, 2006 and Fiscal 2007, respectively. In June 2007, we began contracting our employees health insurance through Highmark. We paid
Highmark and its affiliates $0.9 million for management fees, $4.8 million for insurance claims and $0.9 million for administrative and other expenses during Fiscal 2007.

9. Long-term debt

Credit facilities

In December 2002, we entered into a credit agreement which provided for $117.0 million in term loans and $25.0 million in
revolving credit facilities (the Old Credit Facility). In connection with the GGC Moulin Acquisition, we entered into a new senior secured credit facility which consisted of (i) the $165.0 million term loan facility (the Term Loan Facility);
and (ii) the $25.0 million secured revolving credit facility (the Revolver and together with the Term Loan Facility, the New Credit Facility). The borrowings of the New Credit Facility together with the net proceeds from the offering of the
Initial Notes and the equity investment of Moulin and Golden Gate were used to pay a cash portion of the purchase price of the GGC Moulin Acquisition, to repay debt outstanding under the Old Credit Facility, to retire the Retired Notes, pay the
related tender premium and accrued interest and to pay the related transaction fees and expenses. Thereafter, the New Credit Facility is available to finance working capital requirements and general corporate purposes. On December 21, 2006, we
obtained an amendment and consent to the credit agreement. The amendment changes several covenants as well as reduces the interest rate on the credit agreement. A prepayment of $25 million in principal was made in conjunction with the lenders
approval.

Amortization payments. Prior to the maturity date, funds borrowed under the Revolver may be borrowed, repaid and
re-borrowed, without premium or penalty. The term loan quarterly amortization began in the third quarter of Fiscal 2005 and continues through the date of maturity in fiscal 2012 for the Term Loan Facility according to the following schedule:



|     |  |                     |       
|---- |  | ------------------- | ------
|Year |  | Amount(in millions)

|2009 |  |                     | 1.65  
|2010 |  |                     | 1.65  
|2011 |  |                     | 1.65  
|2012 |  |                     | 100.28

|     |  |                     |       

Interest.Our borrowings under the New Credit Facility bear interest at a
floating rate, which can either be, at our option, a base rate or a Eurodollar rate, in each case plus an applicable margin. The base rate is defined as the higher of (i) the JPMorgan Chase Bank prime rate or (ii) the federal funds
effective rate, plus one half percent (0.5%) per annum. The Eurodollar rate is defined as the rate for Eurodollar deposits for a period of one, two, three, six, nine or twelve months (as selected by us). The applicable margins are:

In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the New Credit Facility, we are
required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the Revolver in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder at a rate equal to 0.50%. We will also pay customary letter of credit fees.

Security and guarantees. The New Credit Facility is secured by a valid first-priority perfected lien or pledge on (i) 100% of the capital
stock of each of our present and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries, (ii) 65% of the capital stock of each of our future first-tier foreign subsidiaries, (iii) 100% of the capital stock of Eye Care Centers of America, Inc.
and (iv) substantially all our present and future property and assets and those of each guarantor, subject to certain exceptions. Our obligations under the New Credit Facility are guaranteed by each of our existing and future direct and
indirect domestic subsidiaries and ECCA Holdings.

Covenants. The New Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative
covenants and financial covenants. During the term of the New Credit Facility, the negative covenants restrict our ability to do certain things, including but not limited to:



| |  |  | incur additional indebtedness, including guarantees;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------

Mandatory prepayment. We are required to make a mandatory annual prepayment of the Term Loan
Facility based on our excess cash flows which is determined by our leverage ratio as defined in the New Credit Facility. This prepayment was waived for Fiscal 2006 in lieu of the $25.0 million payment made with the December 2006 amendment. In Fiscal
2007, we made voluntary prepayments of $21.3 million and an additional prepayment of $9.0 million related to the December 2006 amendment. Due to this $30.2 million prepayment, no excess cash flow payment is necessary for our Fiscal 2007 results. In
addition, we are required to make a mandatory prepayment of the Term Loan Facility with:



| |  |  | 100% of the net cash proceeds of any property or asset sale or casualty, subject to certain exceptions and reinvestment rights;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 100% of the net cash proceeds of certain debt issuances, subject to certain exceptions; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 50% of the net cash proceeds from the issuance of additional equity interests, subject to certain exceptions.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mandatory prepayments will be applied to the Term Loan Facility, first to the scheduled installments of the term loan occurring within the next 12 months
in direct order of maturity, and second, ratably to the remaining installments of the term loan. We may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the New Credit Facility at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary
breakage costs with respect to Eurodollar loans.

Exchange Notes

On February 4, 2005, we issued $152.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 10.75% Senior Subordinated Notes (the Initial Notes) due
2015. We filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to an offer to exchange the Initial Notes for notes which have terms substantially identical in all material respects to the Initial Notes, except such
notes are freely transferable by the holders thereof and are issued without any covenant regarding registration (the Exchange Notes). The registration statement was declared effective on September 26, 2005. The exchange period ended
October 31, 2005. The Exchange Notes are the only notes of the Company which are currently outstanding.

The Exchange Notes:



| |  |  | are general unsecured, senior subordinated obligations of the Company;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | are limited to an aggregate principal amount of $152.0 million, subject to our ability to issue additional notes;

As of December 30, 2006 and December 29, 2007 the fair value of our New Exchange Notes was approximately
$167.2 million and $161.1 million, respectively. The fair value of the capital lease obligations was approximately $1.4 and $1.0 million, respectively. The estimated fair value of Exchange Notes is based primarily on quoted market prices for the
same or similar issues and the estimated fair value of the capital lease obligation is based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. The carrying amounts of the variable rate credit facilities approximate their fair values.

described in Note 8 were issued by us and are guaranteed by all of our subsidiaries (the Guarantor Subsidiaries) but are not guaranteed by the ODs. The Guarantor Subsidiaries are wholly owned by us and the guarantees are full, unconditional and

The above reconciliation takes into account certain entities that are consolidated for financial accounting
purposes but are not consolidated for tax purposes, therefore, the net operating loss carryforward cannot offset the income from the non-consolidated entities. Likewise, losses from these non-consolidated entities may not be utilized to offset

The components of the net deferred tax assets are as follows:

a $1.4 million unrecognized tax benefit which, if recognized, would favorably impact the Companys effective tax rate. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance for liabilities associated with unrecognized tax benefits is as follows
(in thousands):

The increase in liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits from $1.4 million to $2.8 million primarily is due to
potential audits of state income tax returns. The Company accrues interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations, and the corresponding liability in accrued taxes
or other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The expense for interest and penalties reflected in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 30, 2007 was approximately $0.9 million (interest net
of related tax benefits). The corresponding liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets were $1.4 million and $2.8 million at December 31, 2006 and December 30, 2007, respectively.

An IRS audit of the fifty-nine day period ended March 1, 2005 was completed in fiscal 2006 with no material impact on income taxes. With the exception of this
audit, the tax years 2003 through 2006 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Additionally, the Company operates in multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to various state income tax examinations for the 2003 through 2007
calendar tax years. The Company is not currently under any state income tax examinations.

12. Employee benefits

401(k) Plan

We maintain a defined contribution plan whereby
substantially all employees who have been employed for at least six consecutive months are eligible to participate. Contributions are made by the Company as a percentage of employee contributions. In addition, discretionary contributions may be made
at the direction of our Board of Directors. Total Company contributions to the plan were approximately $760 and $346 for 2006 and 2007, respectively.

13. Leases

The Company is obligated as lessee under operating leases for substantially all of the Companys retail facilities as well
as certain warehouse space. In addition to rental payments, the leases generally provide for payment by the Company of property taxes, insurance, maintenance, and its pro rata share of common area maintenance. These leases range in terms of up to 14
years. Certain leases also provide for additional rent in excess of the base rentals calculated as a percentage of sales.

We sublease a portion of substantially all of the stores to an independent optometrist or a corporation controlled by
an independent optometrist. The terms of these leases or subleases are principally one to seven years with rentals consisting of a percentage of gross receipts, base rentals, or a combination of both. Certain of these leases contain renewal options.

Certain of our lease agreements contain provisions for scheduled rent increases or provide for occupancy periods during which no rent payment is required.
For financial statement purposes, rent expense is recorded based on the total rentals due over the entire lease term and charged to rent expense on a straight-line basis. The difference between the actual cash rentals paid and rent expenses recorded
for financial statement purposes is recorded as a deferred rent obligation. As of December 30, 2006 and December 29, 2007, deferred rent obligations aggregated approximately $0.7 million and $3.4 million, respectively.

Rent expense for all locations, net of sublease income, is presented in the following table. For the purposes of this table, base rent expense includes common area
maintenance costs. Common area maintenance costs were approximately 23% of base rent expense for the fifty-nine day period ended March 1, 2005, for the three hundred five day period ended December 31, 2005, for the two hundred thirteen day
period ended August 1, 2006, for the one hundred fifty-one day period ended December 30, 2006 and for Fiscal 2007, respectively.
