EXPLANATORY NOTE
 
Respect Your Universe, Inc. ("RYU") is filing this Amendment No. 2 on Form 8-K/A ("Form 8-K/A") to our Current Report on Form 8-K originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 10, 2011, as amended by Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on September 6, 2011 (“collectively the “Original Filing”).

The items of the Original Filing which are amended and restated by this Form 8-K/A as a result of the foregoing are Sub-Section (a) of Item 3.02: Sale of Unregistered Securities.

The Original Filing erroneously stated that on August 5, 2011, pursuant to the terms of a private placement, RYU had sold 2,132,607 shares of restricted common stock to 53 accredited investors for proceeds of $2,156,607.  This amount understated the amounts private placement by $114,311 from twelve additional investors. The correct figures are that on August 5, 2011, pursuant to the terms of a private placement, RYU had sold 2,270,918 shares of restricted common stock to 65 accredited investors for proceeds of $2,270,918.

Other than as described above, none of the other disclosures in the Original Filing have been amended or updated.

The filing of this Form 8-K/A shall not be deemed an admission that the Original Filing when made included any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make a statement not misleading.

ITEM 3.02             UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.

On August 5, 2011, pursuant the terms of a private placement (“Offering”), RYU issued 2,270,918 shares of restricted common stock to 65 accredited investors for proceeds of $2,270,918.

The securities sold in the Offering were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
