The balance sheet at November 2, 2002 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date. In the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the period have been made. Certain financial information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. The reader is referred to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 2, 2002. At August 2, 2003 and November 2, 2002, approximately 83% and 82%, respectively, of merchandise inventories are valued by the Last-In-First-Out ("LIFO") method of inventory valuation while the balance of inventories are valued by the First-In-First-Out ("FIFO") method. Effective November 3, 2002, the Company changed from the 80% LIFO method to the 100% LIFO method. The effect of this change on the thirty nine weeks ended August 2, 2003 was to decrease net income $54,000 ($.05 per diluted share). If the FIFO method had been used for the entire inventory, inventories would have been $2,576,000 and $2,020,000 higher than reported at August 2, 2003 and November 2, 2002, respectively. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial statements in order to conform to the current year presentation. These results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year. Note 2 Adoption of New Accounting Standards Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations Effective November 3, 2002 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143 ("SFAS 143"), "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations". SFAS 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. There was no significant impact from the adoption of SFAS 143 in the thirteen and thirty nine weeks ended August 2, 2003. Recission of FASB Statements Nos. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections Effective November 3, 2002 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145 ("SFAS 145"), "Recission of FASB Statements Nos. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections". Under SFAS 145, gains and losses from extinguishment of debt will no longer be aggregated and classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect, on the statement of earnings. There was no significant impact from the adoption of SFAS 145 in the thirteen and thirty nine weeks ended August 2, 2003. 8 Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities Effective November 3, 2002 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146 ("SFAS 146"), "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities". SFAS No. 146 requires recognition of a liability for the costs associated with an exit or disposal activity when the liability is incurred, as opposed to when the entity commits to an exit plan as required under EITF Issue No. 94-3. SFAS 146 will primarily impact the timing of the recognition of costs associated with any future exit or disposal activities. There was no significant impact from the adoption of SFAS 146 in the thirteen and thirty nine weeks ended August 2, 2003. Accounting for Stock Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148 ("SFAS 148"), "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - an amendment of SFAS No. 123," which amends SFAS No. 123 ("SFAS 123") to provide alternative methods of transition for an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair value method of accounting for stock based compensation. It also amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosure about the effects on reported net income of an entity's accounting policy decisions with respect to stock based employee compensation. Finally, SFAS 148 amends APB Opinion No. 28, "Interim Financial Reporting", to require disclosure of those effects in interim financial statements. SFAS 148 is effective for fiscal years ended after December 15, 2002. Accordingly, the Company has adopted the applicable disclosure requirements of this Statement within this report (See Note 4). The Company continues to account for stock-based compensation to its employees and directors using the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, and related interpretations. Note 3 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Effective November 3, 2002, the Company implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 ("SFAS 142"), "Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." Goodwill and other intangibles that have indefinite useful lives will not be amortized, but instead will be tested at least annually for impairment at the reporting unit level. The Company has determined that it is contained within one reporting unit and as such, impairment is tested at the company level. During the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company completed goodwill transition and annual impairment tests prescribed by SFAS 142 and concluded that no impairment of goodwill existed. The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of the Company's other intangible assets as of August 2, 2003 and November 2, 2002 are as follows: August 2, 2003 November 2, 2002 -------------- ---------------- (in thousands) Gross Gross Carrying Accumulated Carrying Accumulated Amount Amortization Amount Amortization -------- ------------ -------- ------------ Amortized Intangible Assets Bargain Leases $3,918 $ 3,005 $3,918 $ 2,848 Unamortized Intangible Assets Liquor Licenses 220 - 220 - ---------------------------------------------------- Total $4,138 $ 3,005 $4,138 $ 2,848 ==================================================== 9 Amortization expense recorded on the intangible assets for the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2003 and August 3, 2002 was $52,000 and $53,000, respectively, and was $157,000 and $158,000, respectively, for the thirty nine weeks ended August 2, 2003 and August 3, 2002. As a result of the adoption of SFAS 142, there were no changes to amortizable lives or amortization methods. The estimated amortization expense for the Company's other intangible assets for the current fiscal year and each of the four succeeding fiscal years is as follows: Fiscal Year (In thousands) ----------- -------------- 2003 $192 2004 106 2005 106 2006 106 2007 106 The following tables illustrate net income available to common shareholders and earnings per share, exclusive of goodwill amortization expense in the prior periods: Thirteen Weeks Ended ------------------------------------------------------- August 2, 2003 August 3, 2002 -------------- -------------- (in thousands, except per share data) Diluted Diluted Basic earnings Basic earnings Net earnings per Net earnings per Income per share share Income per share share ------ --------- -------- ------ --------- -------- Reported net income $ 576 $.58 $.57 $ 1,203 $ 1.22 $1.15 Goodwill amortization - - - 35 .04 .03 ------------------------------------------------------------ Adjusted net income $576 $.58 $ .57 $ 1,238 $ 1.26 $ 1.18 ============================================================ Thirty Nine Weeks Ended ------------------------------------------------------------ August 2, 2003 August 3, 2002 -------------- -------------- (in thousands, except per share data) Diluted Diluted Basic earnings Basic earnings Net earnings per share Net earnings per Income per share share Income per share share ------------------------------------------------------------ Reported net income $ 1,053 $1.07 $1.04 $ 2,653 $ 2.56 $2.43 Goodwill amortization - - - 105 .10 .09 ------------------------------------------------------------ Adjusted net income $ 1,053 $1.07 $ 1.04 $ 2,758 $2.66 $2.52 ============================================================ Note 4 - Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock option plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations. In accordance with SFAS 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure," the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to stock-based employee compensation is as follows: 10 Thirteen Weeks Thirty Nine Weeks Ended Ended --------------------------------------------------- August 2, August 3, August 2, August 3, 2003 2002 2003 2002 ------------------------ ------------------------ Net income - as reported $ 576,000 $1,203,000 $1,053,000 $2,653,000 Deduct: Adjustment to total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under the intrinsic value method for expense determined under the fair value based method, net of related tax effects 20,000 19,750 60,000 59,250 ------------------------ ----------------------- Pro forma net income $556,000 $1,183,250 $993,000 $2,593,750 ======================== ======================== Earnings per share: Basic, as reported $ .58 $ 1.22 $ 1.07 $ 2.56 ======================== ======================== Basic, pro forma $ .56 $ 1.20 $ 1.01 $ 2.50 ======================== ======================== Diluted, as reported $ .57 $ 1.15 $ 1.04 $ 2.43 ======================== ======================== Diluted, pro forma $ .55 $ 1.13 $ .98 $ 2.37 ======================== ======================== Note 5 - Related Party Transactions As required by Wakefern's By-laws, all members of the cooperative are required to make an investment in the common stock of Wakefern for each supermarket operated, with the exact amount per store computed in accordance with a formula based on the volume of each store's purchases from Wakefern. During the thirty nine weeks ended August 2, 2003, the Company was required to make an additional investment in Wakefern for a new store. In addition, on June 19, 2003 Wakefern increased the amount that each shareholder is required to invest in Wakefern's capital stock to a maximum of $650,000 for each store operated by such shareholder member. Previously, the maximum was $550,000 per store. The above changes in the amounts of required investment increased our investment in Wakefern by $2,703,000, which will be paid weekly, without interest, over a four year period starting September 16, 2003. 11 Note 6 - Commitments and Contingencies The Company has engaged in settlement discussions with one of its landlords, Levin Properties, L.P., with respect to certain previously reported litigation wherein the correct commencement date for the payment of occupancy expense under the lease for the Company's new Woodbridge, New Jersey location is disputed. The proposed settlement contemplates an amendment to the lease which increases the minimum rent payments approximately $550,000 over the term of the lease. The effective date for the commencement of the amended lease payments is expected to be October 1, 2003. The Company believes that the proposed settlement will be consummated; however, there can be no assurance in this regard inasmuch as definitive settlement agreements have not yet been executed and delivered. In addition, the Company previously reported that the Superior Court of New Jersey approved the settlement of a pending shareholder derivative action. The plaintiffs' application for an award of legal fees of $975,000 in connection with settlement of the derivative action was not acted upon by the Court. The Company believes that the amount of the award of attorneys fees sought by the plaintiffs' is unreasonable based upon the outcome of the litigation, and the Company will vigorously contest the plaintiffs' fee application. The Company's directors and officers liability insurance carrier has reserved its rights under the Company's directors and officers liability insurance policy with respect to the claims made in the derivative action, including claims for the plaintiffs' attorneys' fees and costs of the defense, and has preliminarily advised the Company that certain of the claims made in the derivative action and related legal expenses are not, in the insurance carrier's view, covered by the policy. It is not possible, at this juncture, to predict the amount of fees that may be awarded to plaintiffs or whether or to what extent any such fees and the Company's legal expenses for defending the derivative action will be covered by its directors and officers liability insurance policy. Accordingly, the Company has not accrued for legal fees and expenses which may be incurred in connection with this matter in the statements of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended August 2, 2003, nor is it possible to predict, at this juncture, when such fees and expenses, if any, will be payable by the Company. Part I - Item 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Critical accounting policies are those accounting policies that management believes are important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results of operations and require management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company's critical accounting policies relating to the impairment of goodwill, patronage dividends earned as a shareholder of Wakefern and workers' compensation insurance are described in the Company's Annual 12 Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 2, 2002. As of August 2, 2003 there have been no material changes to any of the critical accounting policies contained therein. Financial Condition and Liquidity --------------------------------- The Company is a party to a Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with four financial institutions. The Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets and provided for a total commitment of up to $80,000,000, including a revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Note") of up to $35,000,000, a term loan ("the Term Loan") in the amount of $25,000,000 and a capital expenditures facility (the "Capex Facility") of up to $20,000,000. The Credit Agreement expires December 31, 2007. As of August 2, 2003 the Company owed $21,250,000 on the Term Loan and $8,000,000 under the Capex Facility. On July 16, 2003 the Credit Agreement was amended to allow the Company to borrow under the revolving credit facility, on any Tuesday or Wednesday, up to $3,000,000 in excess of the availability under the borrowing base limitation of 65% of eligible inventory as long as a like amount of cash and cash equivalents are on hand at store level or in transit to the Company's banks. This provision expires December 31, 2003. Additionally, the number of LIBOR contracts allowed to be outstanding at any one time was increased from three to five. During the thirty nine weeks ended August 2, 2003, the Company was required to make an additional investment in Wakefern for a new store. In addition, on June 19, 2003 Wakefern increased the amount that each shareholder is required to invest in Wakefern's capital stock to a maximum of $650,000 for each store operated by such shareholder member. Previously, the maximum was $550,000 per store. The above changes in the amounts of required investment increased our investment in Wakefern by $2,703,000, which will be paid weekly, without interest, over a four year period starting September 16, 2003. On January 31, 2003, the Company financed the purchase of $4,000,000 of equipment for the new store location in Woodbridge, New Jersey. The note bears interest at 6.45% and is payable in monthly installments over its seven year term. The Company's compliance with the major financial covenants under the Credit Agreement was as follows as of August 2, 2003: Actual Financial Credit (As defined in the Covenant Agreement Credit Agreement) -------- --------- ------------------ Adjusted EBITDA (1) Greater than $18,500,000 $ 21,111,000 Leverage Ratio (1) Less than 3.2 to 1.00 2.72 to 1.00 Debt Service Coverage Ratio Greater than 1.10 to 1.00 1.89 to 1.00 Adjusted Capex (2) Less than $8,329,000 (3)(5) $ 6,753,000 (4) Store Project Capex Less than $31,366,000 (3)(5) $ 16,471,000 (4) (1) Excludes obligations under capitalized leases, interest expense and depreciation expense attributable to capitalized leases and changes in the LIFO reserve. 13 (2) Adjusted Capex is all capital expenditures other than New/Replacement Store Project Capex. (3) Represents limitations on capital expenditures for fiscal 2003. (4) Represents capital expenditures for the 39 weeks ended August 2, 2003. (5) Includes amounts available but not used in the prior fiscal year and available to be carried forward to fiscal 2003: $2,589,000 for Adjusted Capex and $8,191,000 for Store Project Capex. No cash dividends have been paid on the Common Stock since 1979, and the Company has no present intentions or ability to pay any dividends in the near future on its Common Stock. The Credit Agreement does not permit the payment of any cash dividends on our Common Stock. Working Capital At August 2, 2003, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $752,000 compared to deficiencies of $590,000 at November 2, 2002 and $3,060,000 at August 3, 2002. Receivables and other current assets include receivables due from the landlord for construction allowances for the Woodbridge, New Jersey location. These receivables are currently in dispute resulting in litigation with the landlord over the correct commencement date of the lease for the new Woodbridge location. The Company denies the landlord's allegations, and the amount and timing of collection of the construction allowances will depend upon the outcome of the litigation. When collected, the proceeds from these receivables will be used to reduce the Revolving Note which is classified as long-term borrowings. This will result in a corresponding decrease in working capital. See Part II - Other Information - Item 1. Legal Proceedings. During fiscal year 2002, the Business Tax Reform Act was passed in the State of New Jersey. This legislation is effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2002 (fiscal 2003). Corporate taxpayers are subject to an Alternative Minimum Assessment ("AMA"), which is based upon either New Jersey gross receipts or New Jersey gross profits, if the AMA exceeds the tax based on net income. The Company has reflected in its current tax provision the effect of the AMA. The AMA increased the Company's Federal and State current tax liability by $955,000. Additionally, in March 2002 and May 2003 The Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act of 2002 and The Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003 ("Tax Acts") were passed by the United States Congress. The current Federal tax benefit for accelerated depreciation resulting from the Tax Acts will be approximately $2,175,000 for fiscal 2003 and is reflected in the Company's prepaid and refundable income taxes. The Company normally requires small amounts of working capital since inventory is generally sold at approximately the same time that payments to Wakefern and other suppliers are due and most sales are for cash or cash equivalents. Working capital ratios were as follows: August 2, 2003 .99 to 1.0 November 2, 2002 .99 to 1.0 August 3, 2002 .95 to 1.0 14 Cash flows (in millions) were as follows: Thirty Nine Weeks Ended ----------------------------------- August 2, 2003 August 3, 2002 -------------- -------------- Operating activities... $ 14.0 $ 10.0 Investing activities... (21.4) ( 8.6) Financing activities... 9.1 (.5) ----- ------ Totals $ 1.7 $ .9 ======= ======= The Company had $8,300,000 of available credit, at August 2, 2003, under its revolving credit facility. The Company has capital commitments (net of landlord contributions) of $14,225,000 for equipment and $5,050,000 for leasehold improvements related to four stores which are under construction. One of these is a replacement store, two are new stores and one is an expansion and remodeling of an existing store. All of these projects are in central New Jersey, will be World Class stores and are expected to open in fiscal 2004. The amounts available under the Credit Agreement will adequately meet our operating needs, scheduled capital expenditures and debt service for fiscal 2003. For the 39 weeks ended August 2, 2003, depreciation was $12,613,000 while capital expenditures, excluding capitalized leases, totaled $23,224,000, compared to $10,496,000 and $8,611,000, respectively, in the prior year period. The increase in depreciation was the result of the purchase of equipment and leasehold improvements for the three new locations opened in Woodbridge, Ewing and North Brunswick, New Jersey in December 2002, January 2003 and May 2003, respectively, as well as five additional capitalized real estate leases. The increase in capital expenditures was due to the acquisition of equipment and leasehold improvements for the locations opened in the first and third quarters of fiscal 2003, the construction of and equipment for our new bakery commissary and three of the stores under construction, as compared with only one new location opened in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. Results of Operations (13 weeks ended August 2, 2003 compared to 13 --------------------- weeks ended August 3, 2002) Sales: Same store sales from the twenty stores in operation in both periods increased 3.1%. This increase in comparable store sales was partially offset by the effect of the soft economy, and decreased sales in certain of the Company's stores affected by competitive store openings. Sales for the current period totaled $271.3 million as compared to $241.5 million in the prior year period. Sales for the current quarter included the operations of the new locations opened in December 2002, January 2003 and May 2003 in Woodbridge, Ewing and North Brunswick, New Jersey, respectfully. The location in Woodbridge replaced an older, smaller store in the same shopping center and the location in North Brunswick replaced an older, smaller store in Franklin Township. 15 Gross Profit: Gross profit as a percent of sales was 25.8% of sales for both the current and prior year periods. Patronage dividends, applied as a reduction of the cost of merchandise sold, were $2.0 million in the current period compared to $1.7 million in the prior year period. Gross profit as a percentage of sales remained unchanged. Gross profit improvement resulting from improved product mix and the contribution of the new Woodbridge, Ewing and North Brunswick locations was offset by the costs associated with programs implemented in certain of the Company's stores to address competitive store openings. Operating Expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of sales were 24.2% versus 24.1% in the prior year period. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of sales was primarily due to increases in certain expense categories as a percentage of sales. As a percentage of sales, labor and related fringe benefits increased .43%, depreciation, including depreciation on capitalized leases, increased .21%, pre-opening costs increased .06% and miscellaneous expense increased .05%. These increases were partially offset by decreases in occupancy expense of .34% and administration of .28%. The increase in labor and related fringe benefits was the result of additional personnel for the new Woodbridge, Ewing and North Brunswick stores, increased sales in service intensive departments and contractual increases in fringe benefits. Pre-opening costs were for the new North Brunswick, New Jersey store opened on May 7, 2003. The decrease in occupancy was primarily the result of several leases which were accounted for as operating leases being replaced by capitalized leases and the decrease in certain fixed costs as a percentage of sales. Fixed and semi-variable administrative expenses also declined as a percentage of sales. Interest Expense: Interest expense increased to $3,415,000 from $2,051,000, while interest income was $39,000 compared to $23,000 for the prior period. The increase in interest expense for the current year period was due to an increase in average outstanding debt, including increased capitalized lease obligations, and an increase in the average interest rate paid on debt. Income Taxes: An income tax rate of 40% has been used in both the current and prior year periods based on the expected effective tax rates. Net Income: ----------- Net income was $576,000 in the current year period compared to $1,203,000 in the prior year period. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for the current period were $8,947,000 as compared to $7,790,000 in the prior year period. Net income per common share on a diluted basis was $.57 in the current period compared to $1.15 in the prior year period. Per share calculations are based on 1,010,586 shares outstanding in the current year period and 1,042,571 shares outstanding in the prior year period. 16 EBITDA is presented because management believes that EBITDA is a useful supplement to net income and other measurements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States since it is a meaningful measure of a company's performance and ability to meet its future debt service requirements, fund capital expenditures and meet working capital requirements. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should not be considered as an alternative to (i) net income (or any other measure of performance under generally accepted accounting principles) as a measure of performance or (ii) cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as an indicator of cash flows or as a measure of liquidity. The following table reconciles reported net income to EBITDA: Thirteen Weeks Ended August 2, 2003 August 3, 2002 --------------- --------------- Net income $ 576,000 $ 1,203,000 Add: Interest expense, net 3,376,000 2,028,000 Income tax provision 384,000 802,000 Depreciation 4,492,000 3,644,000 Amortization 119,000 113,000 ----------- ---------- EBITDA $ 8,947,000 $ 7,790,000 =========== =========== Results of Operations (39 weeks ended August 2, 2003 compared to 39 weeks ended August 3, 2002) Sales: Same store sales from the nineteen stores in operation in both periods increased .9%. This increase in comparable store sales was partially offset by a softening in the economy, the effect of competitive store openings and the impact of deflation in certain product categories. Sales for the current thirty nine week period totaled $783.0 million as compared to $728.8 million in the prior year period. Sales for the current thirty nine week period included the operations of four new locations opened in Middletown, New Jersey in November 2001, Woodbridge, New Jersey in December 2002, Ewing, New Jersey in January 2003 and North Brunswick, New Jersey in May 2003. The locations in Middletown and Woodbridge replaced older, smaller stores in the same shopping centers and the location in North Brunswick replaced an older, smaller store in Franklin Township, New Jersey. 17 Gross Profit: Gross profit as a percent of sales increased to 25.7% of sales compared to 25.3% in the prior year period. Patronage dividends, applied as a reduction of the cost of merchandise sold, were $5.6 million in the current period compared to $5.0 million in the prior year period. Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased primarily as a result of improved product mix and the contribution of the new locations. This increase was offset in part by the costs associated with programs implemented in certain of the Company's stores to address competitive store openings. Operating Expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of sales were 24.4% versus 23.9% in the prior year period. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of sales was primarily due to increases in certain expense categories as a percentage of sales. As a percentage of sales, labor and related fringe benefits increased .31%, depreciation, including depreciation on capitalized leases, increased .17%, and pre-opening costs increased .14%. These increases were partially offset by decreases in occupancy expense of .11%. The increase in labor and related fringe benefits was the result of additional personnel for the new Woodbridge, Ewing and North Brunswick stores, increased sales in service intensive departments and contractual increases in fringe benefits. Pre-opening costs were for the new Woodbridge, Ewing and North Brunswick stores opened in December 2002, January 2003 and May 2003, respectively. The decrease in occupancy was primarily the result of several leases which were accounted for as operating leases being replaced by capitalized leases and the decrease in certain fixed costs as a percentage of sales. Interest Expense: Interest expense increased to $8,746,000 from $6,038,000, while interest income was $116,000 compared to $94,000 for the prior year period. The increase in interest expense for the current year period was due to an increase in average outstanding debt, including increased capitalized lease obligations, and an increase in the average interest rate paid on debt. Income Taxes: An income tax rate of 40% has been used in both the current and prior year periods based on the expected effective tax rates. Net Income: Net income was $1,053,000 in the current year period compared to $2,653,000 in the prior year period. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for the current period were $23,303,000 as compared to $21,196,000 in the prior year period. Net income per common share on a diluted basis was $1.04 in the current period compared to $2.43 in the prior year period. Per share calculations are based on 1,013,751 shares outstanding in the current period and 1,092,395 shares outstanding in the prior year period. 18 EBITDA is presented because management believes that EBITDA is a useful supplement to net income and other measurements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States since it is a meaningful measure of a company's performance and ability to meet its future debt service requirements, fund capital expenditures and meet working capital requirements.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Except for indebtedness under the Credit Agreement which is variable rate financing, the balance of our indebtedness is fixed rate financing. We believe that our exposure to market risk relating to interest rate risk is not material. The Company believes that its business operations are not exposed to market risk relating to foreign currency exchange risk, commodity price risk or equity price risk. Item 4. Controls and Procedures As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer along with the Company's Chief Financial Officer, who concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective. The Company's Vice President-Internal Audit and Principal Accounting Officer also participated in this evaluation. During the Company's last fiscal quarter, there has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. 19 Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings The Company previously reported that Levin Properties, L.P. (the "Plaintiff") initiated litigation against the Company in the Superior Court of New Jersey. In its complaint, the Plaintiff alleges that it entered into a lease with the Company providing for the construction of a supermarket on property owned by the Plaintiff located in Hamilton, New Jersey, and that the Company failed to comply with its contractual obligations under the lease by refusing to negotiate open lease terms. In addition, the Plaintiff alleges that the Company breached its implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing by refusing to provide construction specifications, failing to proceed with the construction of the building and by contemplating the operation of a supermarket in competition with the Plaintiff. The Company has filed an answer denying the Plaintiff's allegations and asserted counterclaims. The Company has engaged in settlement discussions with the Plaintiff regarding the litigation described above and a separate litigation with the Plaintiff wherein the correct commencement date for the payment of occupancy expense under the Company's lease with the Plaintiff for the Company's new Woodbridge, New Jersey location is disputed. The proposed settlement contemplates, among other things, (a) an amendment to the lease for the Company's Woodbridge store which increases the future minimum rent payments by approximately $550,000 over the term of the lease, with the effective date for the commencement of the amended lease payments expected to be October 1, 2003;(b) the payment by the Plaintiff to the Company of construction allowances for the Woodbridge, New Jersey location of approximately $1,755,000; and (c) the execution and delivery of a lease between the Plaintiff and the Company for a new store location on property owned by the Plaintiff in Hamilton, New Jersey. The Company believes that the proposed settlement will be consummated; however, there can be no assurance in this regard inasmuch as definitive settlement agreements have not yet been executed and delivered. 20 Item 6.
