The balance sheet at October 30, 2004 has been taken 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 and Form 10-K/A for the year ended October 30, 2004. At both July 30, 2005 and October 30, 2004, approximately 82% of merchandise inventories were valued by the Last-In-First-Out ("LIFO") method of inventory valuation while the balance of inventories is valued by the First-In-First-Out ("FIFO") method. If the FIFO method had been used for the entire inventory, inventories would have been $4,303,000 and $3,740,000 higher than reported at July 30, 2005 and October 30, 2004, 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 --------------------------------------------- In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued SFAS No. 151, "Inventory Costs", an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. SFAS No. 151 amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, "Inventory Pricing," to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and spoilage. This statement requires that those items be recognized as current period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of "so abnormal" which was the criterion specified in ARB No. 43. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not expect an impact from adopting this new standard. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment", which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and amends SFAS No. 95, "Statement of Cash Flows." Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted a final rule amending Rule 4-01(a) of Regulation S-X amending the compliance date for FASB Statement No. 123(R) to be effective starting with the first interim or annual reporting period of the first fiscal year beginning on or after June 15, 2005. The provisions of FASB Statement No. 123(R) will be effective for the Company's first quarter of fiscal year 2006 beginning October 30, 2005. The Company has not yet assessed the impact of adopting this new standard. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, "Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29." SFAS No. 153 specifies the criteria 8 required to record a nonmonetary asset exchange using carryover basis. SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring after July 1, 2005. The Company adopted this statement in the third quarter of fiscal 2005 and the adoption of this standard did not have any impact on our financial statements. In December 2004, the FASB issued FSP FAS 109-1, Application of FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," to the "Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004" to provide accounting guidance on the appropriate treatment of tax benefits generated by the enactment of the Act. The FSP requires that the manufacturer's deduction be treated as a special deduction in accordance with SFAS 109 and not as a tax rate reduction. The Company is awaiting final tax regulations from the Internal Revenue Service before completing its assessment of the impact of adopting FSP FAS 109-1 on its financial statements. In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 47, "Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations - an Interpretation of Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) No. 143, `Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.'" FIN No. 47 clarifies the requirements to record liabilities stemming from a legal obligation to clean up and retire fixed assets, when retirement depends on a future event. FASB believes this interpretation will result in more consistent recognition of liabilities relating to asset retirement obligations, more information about expected future cash outflows associated with the obligations and investments in long-lived assets because additional asset retirement costs will be recognized as part of the carrying amounts of the assets. FIN No. 47 will be effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The adoption of this standard does not have an impact on the Company's financial statements. In March 2005, the FASB issued FSP No. 46(R)-5, "Implicit Variable Interests under FASB Interpretation No.46, or FIN 46 (Revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," or FSP FIN 46(R)-5. FSP FIN 46(R)-5 provides guidance for a reporting enterprise on whether we hold an implicit variable interest in Variable Interest Entities, or VIEs, or potential VIEs when specific conditions exist. This FSP is effective in the first period beginning after March 3, 2005 in accordance with the transition provisions of FIN 46 (Revised 2003), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities -- an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51," or FIN 46(R). The adoption of FSP FIN 46(R)-5 did not have any impact on our results of operations and financial condition. In May 2005, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 154 "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3." This Statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. APB Opinion No. 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. This Statement requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. FASB Statement No.154 will be effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. In June 2005, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 05-06, "Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements." EITF Issue No. 05-06 indicates that for operating leases, leasehold improvements that are placed in service significantly after and not contemplated at or near the beginning of the lease term should be amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the assets or a term that includes required lease periods and renewals that are deemed to be reasonably assured at the date the leasehold improvements are purchased. Leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination should be amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the assets or a term that includes required lease periods and renewals that are deemed to be reasonably 9 assured at the date of acquisition. EITF Issue No. 05-06 is effective for leasehold improvements that are purchased or acquired in reporting periods beginning after June 28, 2005. Earlier application is permitted in periods for which financial statements have not been issued. The adoption of this Issue is not expected to have an impact on the Company's financial statements. Note 3 Stock-Based Compensation --------------------------------- The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," ("APB 25") and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options. Under this method, compensation cost is measured as the amount by which the market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the stock option at the date at which both the number of options granted and the exercise price are known. 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: Thirteen Weeks Thirty Nine Weeks Ended Ended --------------------------------------------- (In thousands, except (In thousands, except per share amounts) per share amounts) --------------------------------------------- July 30, July 31, July 30, July 31, 2005 2004 2005 2004 --------------------------------------------- Net income - as reported $ 553 $ 496 $ 860 $ 2,692 Add: Stock-based employee compensation expense, determined under the intrinsic value method, included in reported net income, net of related tax effects 52 54 156 162 Deduct: Adjustment to total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under the fair value based method, net of related tax effects (71) (74) (213) (222) ------------------------------------------ Pro forma net income $ 534 $ 476 $ 803 $ 2,632 ========================================== Earnings per share: Basic, as reported $ .56 $ .50 $ .87 $ 2.73 ========================================== Basic, pro forma $ .54 $ .48 $ .81 $ 2.67 ========================================== Diluted, as reported $ .54 $ .48 $ .83 $ 2.62 ========================================== Diluted, pro forma $ .52 $ .46 $ .78 $ 2.56 ========================================== 10 Note 4 Employee Benefit Plans ------------------------------ The following tables summarize the components of the net periodic pension expense for the Company sponsored defined benefit pension plans (both funded and unfunded postretirement plans) for the 13 and 39 weeks ended July 30, 2005 and July 31, 2004 (in thousands): Components of Net Periodic Benefit Cost: Pension Plans 13 Weeks Ended 39 Weeks Ended ------------- -------------- -------------- July 30, July 31, July 30, July 31, 2005 2004 2005 2004 ---- ---- ---- ---- Service cost $ 123 $ 85 $ 369 $ 254 Interest cost 132 125 396 401 Expected return on plan assets (134) (121) (402) (356) Settlement (gain) loss recognized - 265 - 265 Amortization of prior service cost 11 10 33 32 Recognized net actuarial loss 95 77 285 275 ------ ------ ------ ------ Net periodic benefit cost $ 227 $ 441 $ 681 $ 871 ====== ====== ====== ====== Other Postretirement Plan 13 Weeks Ended 39 Weeks Ended ------------------------- -------------- -------------- July 30, July 31, July 30, July 31, 2005 2004 2005 2004 ---- ---- ---- ---- Service cost $ 46 $ 43 $ 138 $ 46 Interest cost 83 81 249 238 Amortization of prior service cost 21 22 63 62 Recognized net actuarial loss 46 24 138 126 ----- ---- ----- ---- Net periodic benefit $ 196 $ 170 $ 588 $ 554 ===== ==== ===== ===== As previously disclosed in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on February 28, 2005, the Company's current funding policy for its qualified pension plans is to contribute annually the amount required by regulatory authorities to meet minimum funding requirements. The Company presently anticipates contributing approximately $1,246,000 to its pension plans during fiscal 2005. This amount is based on preliminary information and the actual amount contributed will be determined based on the final actuarial calculations, plan asset performance, possible changes in law and other factors. The Company has contributed $862,000 during the thirty nine weeks ended July 30, 2005, and anticipates contributing approximately $384,000 more for expected future benefit payments during the remainder of fiscal 2005. Since the Company's Other Post Retirement Plan is unfunded, the contributions to this plan are equal to the benefit payments made during the year. There were no benefit payments made during the 39 weeks ended July 30, 2005. Note 5 Long-term Debt ----------------------- As of August 22, 2005, in order to better accommodate the Company's cash requirements, the Credit Agreement was amended to allow the Company to borrow under the revolving credit facility up to $7,000,000 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 lenders. The overall borrowing limit under the revolving credit facility remains at $35,000,000. 11 Note 6 Long-Lived Assets ------------------------ In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the Company recorded a non-cash pre-tax charge for the impairment of long-lived assets of $163,000 in the third quarter of 2005. These charges are included as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. This loss resulted from the difference between the book value and expected sale price of assets at a location having a lease which expires in November 2005. PART I - Item 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Results of Operations --------------------- OVERVIEW -------- We operate a chain of 26 ShopRite supermarkets in Central New Jersey. We believe it is important to maintain a modern, one stop competitive shopping environment for our customers and therefore have invested heavily in new, expanded and remodeled facilities. We have incorporated upscale service departments in our World Class supermarket concept. We are the largest member of Wakefern, the largest retailer owned food cooperative warehouse in the United States. Since we purchase from Wakefern most of the product we sell, participate in advertising, supply, insurance and technology programs with Wakefern, and receive 13.5% of Wakefern's patronage dividend, our success is integrally tied to the success of Wakefern. We operate in a highly competitive geographic area. Certain of our competitors are non-union and therefore may have lower labor and related fringe benefit costs. In the past five years a non-union competitor, Wegmans, has opened five stores in our trading area. We expect Wegmans to continue to open additional locations in our marketing area in the future. Additionally, another non-union operator, Wal-Mart, is expected to open Super Centers, which include extensive food operations, in our trading area. Certain categories of selling, general and administrative expenses have increased disproportionately in comparison to our sales growth and to inflation in the last three years. We have experienced substantial increases in employee health and pension costs under union contracts and for non-union associates. Additionally, the cost of utilities to operate our stores increased dramatically in fiscal 2004. This trend has continued in fiscal 2005. We look at a variety of indicators to evaluate our performance, such as same store sales; sales per store; sales per selling square foot; percentage of total sales by department; shrink by department and store; departmental gross profit margins; sales per man hour; hourly labor rates; and percent of overtime. 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 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, inventory valuation, patronage dividends earned as a stockholder of 12 Wakefern, pension plans and workers' compensation insurance are described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 30, 2004. As of July 30, 2005 there have been no material changes to any of the critical accounting policies contained therein. In addition, the Company believes its policy with regard to long-lived assets is a critical accounting policy. The Company reviews the carrying values of its long-lived assets, such as property, equipment and fixtures and intangibles subject to amortization, for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. Such review analyzes the undiscounted estimated future cash flows from such assets to determine if the carrying value of such assets are recoverable from their respective cash flows. If an impairment is indicated, it is measured by comparing the discounted cash flows for the long-lived asset held for use to its carrying value. 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 serves as our primary funding source for working capital and capital expenditures. 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. As of July 30, 2005, the Company owed $11,250,000 on the Term Loan and $18,571,000 under the Capex Facility. As of August 22, 2005, in order to better accommodate the Company's cash requirements, the Credit Agreement was amended to allow the Company to borrow under the revolving credit facility up to $7,000,000 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 lenders. The overall borrowing limit under the revolving credit facility remains at $35,000,000. The Company's compliance with the major financial covenants under the Credit Agreement was as follows as of July 30, 2005: Actual (As defined in the Financial Covenant Credit Agreement Credit Agreement) ------------------ ---------------- ----------------- Adjusted EBITDA (1) Greater than $26,000,000 $ 26,648,000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Leverage Ratio (2) Less than 3.0 to 1.00 2.23 to 1.00 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debt Service Coverage Ratio (3) Greater than 1.10 to 1.00 1.61 to 1.00 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adjusted Capex (4) Less than $4,117,000 (5) (7) $ 3,118,000 (6) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Store Project Capex Less than $27,269,000 (5) (7) $ 74,000 (6) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) EBITDA adjusted for non-cash write downs and changes in the LIFO reserve, less minimum lease payments due under capitalized leases. (2) The Leverage Ratio is calculated by dividing the current and non-current portions of Long-Term Debt, excluding obligations under capitalized leases, and Long-Term Debt Related Party by Adjusted EBITDA. (3) The Debt Service Coverage Ratio is calculated by dividing Operating Cash Flow by the sum of adjusted net interest expense, which excludes interest on capitalized leases, the current provision for income taxes and 13 regularly scheduled principal payments, which excludes principal payments on capitalized leases. Operating Cash Flow is calculated by subtracting amounts expended for property and equipment which are not used for projects in excess of $500,000 ($2,121,000 for the thirty nine weeks ended July 30, 2005) from Adjusted EBITDA. (4) Adjusted Capex is all capital expenditures other than New/Replacement Store Project Capex. (5) Represents limitations on capital expenditures for fiscal 2005. For fiscal 2005 the Company has budgeted $8,117,000 for capital expenditures. Any unused amounts available under the Credit Agreement will be carried forward to future periods. (6) Represents capital expenditures for fiscal 2005. (7) Includes amounts available but not used in the prior fiscal year and available to be carried forward to fiscal 2005: $117,000 for Adjusted Capex and $1,251,000 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 July 30, 2005, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $398,000 as compared to working capital of $4,294,000 at October 30, 2004 and a working capital deficiency of $3,359,000 at July 31, 2004. Since the end of fiscal 2004, working capital declined as a result of the collection of related party receivables from Wakefern related to the fiscal 2004 patronage dividend receivable and a decline in inventory, partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable-others related to the payment of monies due at the end of fiscal 2004 for construction costs and equipment for new stores and major remodels. These transactions resulted in a net decrease in the Revolving Note which is classified as long-term borrowings. 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: July 30, 2005 .99 to 1.0 October 30, 2004 1.05 to 1.0 July 31, 2004 .96 to 1.0 Cash flows (in millions) were as follows: Thirty Nine Weeks Ended ----------------------- July 30, 2005 July 31, 2004 ------------- ------------- Operating activities $ 19.5 $ 24.1 Investing activities (2.4) (22.9) Financing activities (17.8) (.4) ------- ------- Totals $ (.7) $ .8 ======== ======= 14 The Company had $10,809,000 of available credit, at July 30, 2005, under its revolving credit facility. The Company has no capital commitments for leasehold improvements or equipment as of July 30, 2005. The amounts available under the Credit Agreement will adequately meet our operating needs, scheduled capital expenditures and debt service for fiscal 2005. For the 39 weeks ended July 30, 2005 depreciation was $16,487,000 while capital expenditures, excluding capitalized leases, totaled $3,192,000, compared to $15,146,000 and $24,484,000, respectively, in the prior year period. The increase in depreciation was the result of depreciation for the equipment and leasehold improvements for the two new locations opened in fiscal 2004 as well as the additional capitalized real estate lease and the modified capitalized real estate lease related to these locations. Capital expenditures in the first thirty nine weeks of fiscal 2005 decreased as compared to capital expenditures in the first thirty nine weeks of fiscal 2004 when two new locations were opened and the remodeling and expansion of the East Brunswick, New Jersey location was completed. Additionally, a non-cash impairment charge of $163,000 was recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2005. This loss resulted from the difference between the book value and expected sale price of assets at a location having a lease which expires in November 2005. The following table summarizes our contractual obligations at July 30, 2005, and the effect such obligations are expected to have on liquidity and cash flow in future periods. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Payments Due By Period Less Than 2-3 4-5 After 5 Contractual Obligations Total 1 Year Years Years Years -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Dollars In Thousands) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Long-term debt $ 55,600 $ 8,991 $37,464 $ 9,145 $ - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest on Long Term Debt (1) 12,967 4,095 6,140 2,725 7 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Related party debt, non interest bearing 3,813 925 1,627 1,089 172 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capital lease obligations (2) 342,452 15,989 31,285 32,096 263,082 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating leases (2) 56,795 8,909 14,704 10,299 22,883 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Liabilities (3) 4,056 550 734 1,690 1,082 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Purchase obligations - leaseholds and equipment - - - - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lease commitments - stores under construction - - - - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $ 475,683 $39,459 $91,954 $57,044 $287,226 ========= ======= ======= ======== ======== (1) Includes interest expense at estimated interest rates of 7.50% to 8.50% on variable rate debt of $50,722 and interest expense at interest rates of 6.20% to 6.44% on fixed rate debt of $4,878. (2) Lease obligation figures do not include insurance, common area maintenance charges and real estate taxes for which the Company is obligated. (3) Other liabilities include estimated unfunded pension liabilities, and estimated post-retirement and post-employment obligations based on available actuarial data. 15 Results of Operations (13 weeks ended July 30, 2005 compared to 13 weeks ended July 31, 2004) Sales: ------ Sales for the current period totaled $304.4 million as compared to $302.8 million in the prior year period. This represents an increase of 0.5%. Sales for the current quarter included the operations of a new location opened in May 2004 in Aberdeen, New Jersey, as well as the location in Bordentown, New Jersey purchased from Wakefern in June 2004. The location in Aberdeen replaced an older, smaller store in the same location. Same store sales from the twenty four stores in operation in both periods decreased 1.0%. Decreased sales in certain of the Company's stores affected by competitive store openings and the impact from the opening of our new locations were partially offset by comparable store sales increases in locations not affected by competitive openings. Gross Profit: ------------- Gross profit as a percent of sales was 26.5% in both the third quarter of fiscal 2005 and the comparable period in fiscal 2004. Cost of goods sold includes the costs of inventory sold and the related purchase, inbound freight and distribution costs including those costs charged by Wakefern for operation of warehouses, distribution and delivery of product to our stores. Vendor allowances and rebates and Wakefern patronage dividends are reflected as a reduction of cost of goods sold. Any costs to us related to other services which Wakefern provides are not included in cost of goods sold. Patronage dividends, applied as a reduction of the cost of goods sold, were $2.4 million in the current period compared to $2.5 million in the prior year period. As a percentage of sales, gross profit was impacted by a .23% increase in costs for programs implemented in certain of the Company's stores to address competitive store openings, a net decrease of .11% in promotional programs, offset by a decrease in shrink of 30%. Shrink is the difference between expected gross profit, based on the difference between the cost and expected selling price of merchandise purchased, and actual gross profit. Shrink results from theft, spoilage, breakage, mark ups and mark downs. Operating Expenses: ------------------- Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $75.2 million in both the third quarter of fiscal 2005 and the comparable period in fiscal 2004. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of sales were 24.7% versus 24.9% in the prior year period. Decreases in labor and pre-opening expense were partially offset by increases in fringe benefits, occupancy costs, miscellaneous expense and impairment charges. The decrease in labor was due to improved efficiency in the locations opened in fiscal 2004. Labor expense decreased from $31,439,000 to $30,589,000. Pre-opening expense decreased as no new stores were opened in fiscal 2005. One new location was opened in the third quarter of fiscal 2004. Pre-opening costs decreased from $364,000 to zero. The increase in fringe benefits was the result of contractual increases in pension and welfare. Fringe benefits increased from $12,996,000 to $13,187,000. The increase in occupancy costs was primarily the result of increases in utility costs, real estate tax expense and common area maintenance expense. Occupancy costs increased from $9,694,000 to $10,511,000. The increase in miscellaneous expense was primarily the result of increases in Wakefern support services, debit/credit card and bank service fees and services provided by outside vendors, including floor care and sanitation. Miscellaneous expense increased from $4,988,000 to $5,125,000. The impairment charge relates to the recording of a non-cash write down. This loss resulted from the difference between the book value and expected sale price of assets at a location having a lease which expires in November 2005. Impairment charges increased from zero to $163,000. 16 As a percentage of sales, labor decreased .33% and pre-opening expense decreased .12%. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in fringe benefits of .03%, occupancy costs of .25%, miscellaneous expense of .03% and impairment charges of .05%. Interest Expense: ----------------- Interest expense increased to $4,573,000 from $4,248,000, while interest income was $26,000 compared to $24,000 for the prior year period. The increase in interest expense for the current year period was due to an increase in the average interest rate paid on debt partially offset by a net decrease in average outstanding debt, including capitalized lease obligations. Income Taxes: ------------- An income tax rate of 38% has been used in both the current and the prior year periods. The tax rate used is based on the expected effective tax rates. Net Income: ----------- Net income was $553,000 in the current year period compared to $496,000 in the prior year period. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for the current period were $11,196,000 as compared to $10,756,000 in the prior year period. Net income per common share on a diluted basis was $.54 in the current year period compared to $.48 in the prior year period. Per share calculations are based on 1,027,862 weighted average diluted shares outstanding in the current year period and 1,038,041 weighted average diluted shares outstanding in the prior year period. 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 -------------------- July 30, 2005 July 31, 2004 ------------- ------------- Net income $ 553,000 $ 496,000 Add: Interest expense, net 4,547,000 4,224,000 Income tax provision 339,000 304,000 Depreciation 5,495,000 5,580,000 Impairment loss 163,000 - Amortization 99,000 152,000 ------------ ------------ EBITDA $11,196,000 $10,756,000 ============ ============ Results of Operations (39 weeks ended July 30, 2005 compared to 39 weeks ended July 31, 2004) Sales: ------ Sales for the current thirty nine week period totaled $914.1 million as compared to $875.3 million in the prior year period. This represents an increase of 4.4%. 17 Sales for the current thirty nine week period included the operations of the new locations opened in April and May 2004 in Lawrenceville and Aberdeen, New Jersey, respectfully, as well as the location in Bordentown, New Jersey purchased from Wakefern in June 2004. The location in Aberdeen replaced an older, smaller store in the same location. Same store sales from the twenty three stores in operation in both periods decreased 1.4%. Decreased sales in certain of the Company's stores affected by competitive store openings and the impact from the opening of our new locations were partially offset by comparable store sales increases in locations not affected by competitive openings. Gross Profit: ------------- Gross profit as a percent of sales decreased to 26.0% in the first thirty nine weeks of fiscal 2005 compared to 26.3% for the comparable period in fiscal 2004. Cost of goods sold includes the costs of inventory sold and the related purchase, inbound freight and distribution costs including those costs charged by Wakefern for operation of warehouses, distribution and delivery of product to our stores. Vendor allowances and rebates and Wakefern patronage dividends are reflected as a reduction of cost of goods sold. Any costs to us related to other services which Wakefern provides are not included in cost of goods sold. Patronage dividends, applied as a reduction of the cost of goods sold, were $7.2 million in both the current and prior year periods. The decrease in gross profit was primarily the result of a .28% increase, measured as a percentage of sales, in costs for programs implemented in certain of the Company's stores to address competitive store openings. Operating Expenses: ------------------- Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $222.6 million in the first thirty nine weeks of fiscal 2005 compared to $214.4 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2004. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of sales were 24.4% versus 24.5% in the prior year period. Decreases in labor, administration and pre-opening expense were partially offset by increases in fringe benefits, depreciation, miscellaneous expense and occupancy costs. Although labor decreased as a percent of sales, labor expense increased from $89,895,000 to $91,152,000. The decrease in labor as a percent of sales was due to improved efficiency in the locations opened in fiscal 2003 and 2004 and the increase in labor expense was due to two additional locations, the replacement of a smaller store and the enlargement of an additional location in fiscal 2004. Administration decreased as several components increased at a slower rate than the increase in sales and the incentive compensation accrual for administrative personnel decreased based upon operating results for the current thirty nine week period. Administration costs declined from $14,906,000 to $14,458,000. Pre-opening expense decreased as no new stores were opened in fiscal 2005. Two new locations were opened in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2004. Pre-opening costs decreased from $1,154,000 to zero. The increase in fringe benefits was the result of contractual increases. Fringe benefits increased from $36,908,000 to $39,643,000. Depreciation increased as the result of the purchase of equipment and leasehold improvements for two new locations opened during 2004 in Lawrenceville and Aberdeen, New Jersey, the completion in January 2004 of the expansion and remodeling of the East Brunswick store, the remodeling of the Neptune location in October 2004, the purchase of the Bordentown, New Jersey location in June 2004, as well as the addition of one new capitalized real estate lease and the increase in obligations under a capitalized real estate lease for a replacement store. Depreciation increased from $15,146,000 to $16,487,000. The increase in occupancy costs was primarily the result of increases in utility costs, repairs and maintenance, real estate tax expense and common area maintenance expense. Occupancy costs increased from $27,825,000 to $30,980,000. The increase in miscellaneous expense was primarily the result of 18 increases in Wakefern support services, debit/credit card and bank service fees and services provided by outside vendors, including floor care and sanitation. Miscellaneous expense increased from $13,768,000 to $14,787,000. As a percentage of sales, labor decreased .30%, administration decreased .12% and pre-opening expense decreased .13%. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in fringe benefits of .12%, depreciation, including depreciation on capitalized leases, of .07%, occupancy of .21% and miscellaneous expense of .05%. Interest Expense: ----------------- Interest expense increased to $13,870,000 from $11,886,000, while interest income was $93,000 compared to $88,000 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 38% has been used in both the current and the prior year periods. The tax rate used is based on the expected effective tax rates. Net Income: ----------- Net income was $860,000 in the current year period compared to $2,692,000 in the prior year period. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for the current period were $32,228,000 as compared to $31,666,000 in the prior year period. Net income per common share on a diluted basis was $.83 in the current period compared to $2.62 in the prior year period. Per share calculations are based on 1,031,904 weighted average diluted shares outstanding in the current period and 1,027,760 weighted average diluted shares outstanding in the prior year period. 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.

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 President 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 Director of Internal Audit and Principal Accounting Officer also participated in this evaluation. During the Company's last fiscal quarter, there has been no significant 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. 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.
