See accompanying Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. VILLAGE SUPER MARKET, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ---------------------------------------------------- 1. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position as of October 27, 2001 and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended October 27, 2001 and October 28, 2000. The significant accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 1 to the Company's consolidated financial statements in the July 28, 2001 Village Super Market, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K, which should be read in conjunction with this Form 10-Q. 2 The results of operations for the period ended October 27, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. 3. At both October 27, 2001 and July 28, 2001, approximately 65% of merchandise inventories are valued by the LIFO method while the balance is valued by FIFO. If the FIFO method had been used for the entire inventory, inventories would have been $9,509,000 and $9,309,000 higher than reported at October 27, 2001 and July 28, 2001, respectively. 4. The number of common shares outstanding for calculation of net income per share is as follows:
October 27, October 28, 2001 2000 ---------- ---------- Weighted average shares outstanding - basic 3,037,479 3,013,476 Dilutive effect of employee stock options 71,451 34,516 --------- --------- Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted 3,108,930 3,047,992 ========= =========
5. Adoption of New Accounting Standards Effective July 29, 2001, the Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement No. 141, "Business Combinations", and Statement No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". Statement 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Statement 141 also specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. Statement 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually. Statement 142 also requires that intangible assets with definite useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment. The implementation of Statement 141 and 142 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements since there was no indication of goodwill impairment, and no reclassifications or changes to the useful lives of intangibles were deemed necessary. As of the date of adoption, the Company had unamortized goodwill in the amount of $10,605,000 and unamortized identifiable intangible assets in the amount of $200,000. Amortization expense related to goodwill was $341,000 for the year ended July 28, 2001. As a result of adopting Statement 142, the Company no longer amortizes goodwill. The Company's net income for the thirteen weeks ended October 28, 2000 would have been $2,273,000 versus $2,220,000 as previously reported had this amortization expense not been reported in that period. The Company's basic and diluted earnings per share for the thirteen weeks ended October 28, 2000 would have been $.75 and $.75 versus $.74 and $.73 as previously reported had this amortization expense not been reported in that period. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ----------------------------------------------------------- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - --------------------- Sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 were $210,831,000, an increase of 6.5% from the prior year. On September 26, 2001, the Company opened a 59,000 square foot store in Garwood, N.J. Excluding the new Garwood store and a store closed one year ago, sales increased 5.8%. Excluding the results of the replacement store in West Orange, which opened August 10, 2000, sales increased 4.0%. Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased to 24.9% in the first quarter from 24.2% in the prior year. Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased due to improved sales in higher margin departments, improved gross profit percentages in several departments and incentives received in connection with the opening of the new Garwood store. Operating and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased to 21.4% in the first quarter compared to 21.1% in the prior year. The increase was a result of higher fringe benefit and occupancy costs. The Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $640,000 in the first quarter to write off the book value of the equipment of the Ventnor store. The sublessor of this property rejected its lease in March 2001 pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy code. Since that time, the Company has negotiated with the property owner to remain in this location under new lease terms. The property owner recently ended negotiations for a new lease and notified the Company that the store location would need to be vacated sometime in early 2002. Accordingly, the Company has written off the remaining assets of this store. Depreciation and amortization expense declined in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to the prior year as the company no longer amortizes goodwill in accordance with FASB 142. Interest expense declined in the first quarter due to interest cost capitalized in the current fiscal year relating to the construction of the Garwood store. Net income was $2,621,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2002, an increase of 18% from the prior year. Excluding a non-cash impairment charge, net income was $3,020,000, an increase of 36%. This increase is attributable to the substantial sales increase and higher gross profit percentages, partially offset by increased operating expenses. LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES - --------------------------------- Working capital was $16,646,000 at October 27, 2001 compared to $17,087,000 at July 28, 2001. The working capital ratio was 1.29 to one at October 27, 2001 compared to 1.33 to one at July 28, 2001. The Company's working capital needs are reduced since inventory is generally sold by the time payments to Wakefern and other suppliers are due. During the quarter, the Company had capital expenditures of $5,394,000. The major expenditure was the completion of construction and equipment for the new store in Garwood. The Company has budgeted approximately $20 million for capital expenditures in fiscal 2002. The construction of a new superstore in Hammonton, N.J. began during the first quarter. The Company's primary sources of liquidity are expected to be cash on hand, operating cash flow and equipment financing. OTHER MATTERS - ------------- On November 22, 2000, Big V Supermarkets, Inc., the largest member of the Wakefern Food Cooperative, filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In addition, Big V announced its intention to depart from the Wakefern Cooperative. Wakefern has publicly stated that it will take all appropriate actions to enforce its rights under the Wakefern Stockholder's Agreement. The Company's Form 10-K includes a comprehensive description of the Company's relationship with Wakefern and the rights and obligations of the Company and other members under the Wakefern Stockholder's Agreement. A recent decision by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court has upheld that Big V would be required to pay substantial withdrawal fees to Wakefern to make up for the loss of volume to the cooperative in the event Big V departs from the Wakefern Cooperative. These matters are subject to further legal proceedings. At this time, the ultimate impact, if any, on Wakefern and the Company from these proceedings cannot be ascertained, although any significant loss of volume from a termination of the Wakefern supply agreement by Big V, without payment of the aforementioned withdrawal fees, could result in increased costs to the Company for product purchases and services. In November 2001, it was publicly announced that Wakefern and Big V entered into a preliminary agreement for the purchase of substantially all of Big V's assets. This agreement requires the approval of the Bankruptcy Court. At this time, the outcome of this potential transaction is uncertain.

The Company opened a new store in Garwood, New Jersey on September 26, 2001. Excluding this new store and a store closed one year ago, sales increased 5.8%. Net income increased due to the substantial increase in sales and improved gross profit percentages, partially offset by increased operating costs. The company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $640,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 to write off the book value of fixed assets of a store expected to be closed later in the fiscal year.
