NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Note 1 Basis of Presentation
-------------------------------
The unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements as of or for the
period ending January 29, 2005, have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and rule 10-01. 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 January 29, 2005 and October 30, 2004, approximately 81% and 82%,
respectively, of merchandise inventories are 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 $3,978,000 and
$3,740,000 higher than reported at January 29, 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 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 the fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company has not yet assessed the impact on
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. The new standard will be effective for the Company in the first
interim or annual reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005, which is the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2005. The Company has not yet assessed the impact on
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
required to record a nonmonetary asset exchange using carryover basis. SFAS No.
7
153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring after July 1, 2005.
The Company will adopt this statement in the third quarter of fiscal 2005 and it
is not expected to have a material effect on the financial statements when
adopted.
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.
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:

===== =====
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 $311,000
during the thirteen weeks ended January 29, 2005, and anticipates contributing
approximately $935,000 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 13 weeks ended January 29, 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 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 January 29, 2005 there have been no material changes to
any of the critical accounting policies contained therein.
10
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
January 29, 2005 the Company owed $13,750,000 on the Term Loan and $20,000,000
under the Capex Facility.
The Company's compliance with the major financial covenants under the Credit
Agreement was as follows as of January 29, 2005:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actual
(As defined in the
Financial Covenant Credit Agreement Credit Agreement)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adjusted EBITDA (1) Greater than $26,000,000 $ 27,318,000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leverage Ratio (1)(2) Less than 3.0 to 1.00 2.34 to 1.00
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Debt Service Coverage
Ratio (3) Greater than 1.10 to 1.00 1.79 to 1.00
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adjusted Capex (4) Less than $4,117,000 (5) (7) $ 1,272,000 (6)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Store Project Capex Less than $27,269,000 (5) (7) $ 75,000 (6)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Excludes obligations under capitalized leases, interest expense and
depreciation expense attributable to capitalized leases, non-cash write
downs and changes in the LIFO reserve.
(2) The Leverage Ratio is calculated by dividing the current and non-current
portions of Long-Term Debt 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
regularly scheduled principal payments, which exclude 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 ($286,000 in the first quarter of fiscal
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.
11
Working Capital
---------------
At January 29, 2005, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $4,606,000
as compared to working capital of $4,294,000 at October 30, 2004 and a working
capital deficiency of $8,343,000 at January 31, 2004. Since the end of fiscal
2004, working capital declined and a deficiency was created as a result of the
collection of related party receivables from Wakefern related to the fiscal 2004
patronage dividend receivable and the increase in related party accounts payable
to Wakefern resulting from increased sales and the deferral of payment for
Wakefern promotional programs. Funds used to pay these accounts payable will
come from the revolving credit facility thereby increasing the Revolving Note
which is classified as long-term borrowings. This will result in a corresponding
increase in working capital.
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:
January 29, 2005 .95 to 1.0
October 30, 2004 1.05 to 1.0
January 31, 2004 .90 to 1.0
Cash flows (in millions) were as follows:

the Credit Agreement will adequately meet our operating needs, scheduled capital
expenditures and debt service for fiscal 2005.
For the 13 weeks ended January 29, 2005 depreciation was $5,494,000 while
capital expenditures totaled $1,347,000, compared to $4,685,000 and $5,119,000,
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 quarter of fiscal 2005 decreased as
compared to capital expenditures in the first quarter of fiscal 2004 when two
new locations were under construction and the remodeling and expansion of the
East Brunswick New Jersey location was substantially completed.

Results of Operations (13 weeks ended January 29, 2005 compared to 13 weeks
------------------------ ended January 31, 2004)
Sales:
------
Sales for the current period totaled $317.6 million as compared to $293.8
million in the prior year period. This represents an increase of 8.1%. Sales for
the current quarter 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
increased .3%. Comparable store sales increases were partially offset by
decreased sales in certain of the Company's stores affected by competitive store
openings and the impact from the opening of our new locations.
Gross Profit:
-------------
Gross profit as a percent of sales decreased to 25.2% in the first quarter of
fiscal 2005 compared to 25.9% for the comparable period in fiscal 2004. Cost of
goods sold includes the costs of inventory sold and the related purchase,
13
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 $2.5
million in the current year period compared to $2.4 million in the prior year
period.
The decrease in gross profit was the result of programs implemented in certain
of the Company's stores to address competitive store openings (.36%) and an
increase in shrink (.36%). 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 $75.1 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to $70.5 million for the comparable period in
fiscal 2004. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of sales
were 23.6% versus 24.0% in the prior year period. Decreases in labor and
administration and an increase in miscellaneous income were partially offset by
increases in fringe benefits, depreciation and occupancy costs. Although labor
decreased as a percent of sales, labor expense increased from $28,212,000 to
$29,389,000. The decrease in labor as a percent of sales was due to improved
efficiency in the locations opened in fiscal 2003 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 quarter. Administration
costs declined from $5,184,000 to $4,769,000. The increase in miscellaneous
income was due to increased baling and coupon handling income. Miscellaneous
income increased from $549,000 to $778,000. The increase in fringe benefits was
the result of contractual increases. Fringe benefits increased from$12,215,000
to $13,733,000. 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 and 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 $4,685,000 to
$5,494,000. The increase in occupancy costs was primarily the result of
increases in utility costs, real estate tax expense and common area maintenance
expense. Occupancy increased from $8,958,000 to $10,070,000.
As a percentage of sales, labor decreased .35%, administration decreased .26%
and miscellaneous income increased .05%. These decreases were partially offset
by an increase in fringe benefits of .16%, depreciation, including depreciation
on capitalized leases, of .14% and occupancy of .12%.
Interest Expense:
-----------------
Interest expense increased to $4,660,000 from $3,784,000, while interest income
was $36,000 compared to $27,000 for the prior year period. The increase in
interest expense for the current year period was due to a net increase in
average outstanding debt, including capitalized lease obligations, and an
increase in the average interest rate paid on debt.
14
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 $253,000 in the current year period compared to $1,240,000 in the
prior year period. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization ("EBITDA") for the current period were $10,737,000 as compared to
$10,569,000 in the prior year period. Net income per common share on a diluted
basis was $.24 in the current year period compared to $1.22 in the prior year
period. Per share calculations are based on 1,035,753 shares outstanding in the
current year period and 1,013,049 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:

Item 3. 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,
15
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. 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.
