BURLINGTON, N.J. -- Burlington Coat Factory Investments Holdings, Inc. and its operating subsidiaries (the "Company"), a nationwide retailer based in Burlington, New Jersey, today announced its results for the second quarter ended December 2, 2006.

To participate in the call, please dial 888-294-1314.

For the three months ended December 2, 2006 compared with the three months ended November 26, 2005, net sales increased $39.4 million (4.2%). Comparative store sales decreased 2.4% during the quarter. Comparative store sales increased 5.0% in September, decreased 1.3% in October and decreased 8.8% in November compared with the same months last year. The decrease in comparative store sales in October and November is primarily attributed to unseasonably warm weather in certain regions of the United States. For the three month period ended December 2, 2006, net income amounted to $11.7 million compared with $45.4 million during the three month period ended November 25, 2006. The decrease in net income is primarily attributable to increases in depreciation, interest and amortization expenses.

For the six months ended December 2, 2006 Burlington Coat Factory experienced an increase in net sales compared with the six months ended November 26, 2005. Net sales were $1,641.6 million for the six months ended December 2, 2006 and $1,596.3 million for the six months ended November 26, 2005, a 2.8% increase. The Company's 2006 fiscal year ended June 3, 2006 was a 53 week year. As a result, each of the fiscal quarters in this fiscal 2007 year begins and ends one week later than the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. Because the last week of November is traditionally a strong week for sales given the onset of the holiday shopping season, the inclusion of the last week of November in this fiscal year's six and three month periods ended December 2, 2006 resulted in net sales of $45.4 million over last fiscal year's six month period ended November 26, 2005. However, in comparing the 26 week period ended December 2, 2006 with the 26 week period ended December 3, 2005, net sales were up only slightly, i.e., $1,641.6 million compared with $1,641.4 million, and the Company experienced a 1.7% comparative store sales decrease.

During the first six months of fiscal 2007, the Company opened eleven Burlington Coat Factory Stores. Two stores previously closed due to Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma were reopened during the six month period. An additional Burlington Coat Factory store was relocated to a location within the same trading market. During the six months ended December 2, 2006, three Burlington Coat Factory stores, one MJM designer shoe store and one Super Baby Depot store were closed. Two stores were remodeled during the six month period ended December 2, 2006. As of December 2, 2006, the Company operated 373 stores under the names "Burlington Coat Factory Warehouse" ("BCF"), (348 stores), "Cohoes Fashions"(7 stores), "MJM Designer Shoes" (17 stores), and "Super Baby Depot" (1 store). The Company plans to open eight Burlington Coat Factory stores during remainder of fiscal 2007. Two remodels of existing Burlington Coat Factory stores and the reopening of the remaining store damaged by Hurricane Katrina are planned for the remainder of fiscal 2007. The Company plans to close three Cohoes stores and to convert two Cohoes stores to BCF stores during fiscal 2007 and is reviewing operational alternatives for the remaining two Cohoes stores.

*On April 13, 2006, affiliates of Bain Capital Partners, LLC consummated a $2.1 billion take-private transaction of Burlington Coat Factory Warehouse Corporation ("BCFWC") through the merger of BCFWC with a merger sub (the "Merger Transaction"). As a result of the Merger Transaction, the Company's assets and liabilities have been preliminarily adjusted to their fair value as of the closing date, April 13, 2006. Results for the six and three months ended November 26, 2005 are for BCFWC and its subsidiaries ("Predecessor") and results for the six and three months ended December 2, 2006 are for Burlington Coat Factory Investments Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries after the Merger Transaction (which include BCFWC and its subsidiaries) ("Successor"). Depreciation and amortization expenses are higher in successor accounting periods due to these fair value assessments resulting in increases to the carrying value of our property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

The following table calculates the Company's EBITDA (earnings from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA, both of which are considered Non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a Non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide investors helpful information with respect to our operations and cash flows. The Company has included them to provide additional information with respect to our ability to meet our future debt service, fund our capital expenditures and working capital requirements and to comply with various covenants in each indenture governing our outstanding notes, as well as various covenants related to our senior secured credit facilities. The adjustments to EBITDA are not in accordance with regulations adopted by the SEC that apply to periodic reports presented under the Exchange Act. Accordingly, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be presented differently in filings made with the SEC than as presented in this report or not presented at all.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are calculated as follows:
