NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

(1) Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring deferrals and accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(2) Current Relevant Accounting Standards
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes: an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN 48"). FIN 48, which clarifies SFAS 109, establishes the criteria that an individual tax position has to meet for some or all of the benefits of that position to be recognized in the company's financial statements. The company adopted FIN 48 on December 31, 2006, the first day of the 2007 fiscal year, and, as a result, recognized a $452,000 decrease to opening retained earnings from the cumulative effect of adoption. As of December 31, 2006, the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits is $692,000. Of this amount, approximately $240,000 would impact our effective tax rate over time, if recognized. The company continues to follow the practice of recognizing interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a part of the provision for income taxes. As of December 31, 2006, the company had $189,000 of accrued interest and penalties.

The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") recently completed its examination of the company's federal income tax returns for 2003 and 2004. The IRS has proposed one tax deficiency to which the company has agreed. The company or one of its subsidiaries files tax returns in various states. The tax years subject to examination in Pennsylvania, where the majority of the company's revenues are generated, are 2002 to 2006.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurement" ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS 157 on its financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115" ("SFAS 159"). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value at specified election dates. The fair value option may be applied instrument by instrument (with a few exceptions), is irrevocable and is applied only to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are to be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS 159 on its financial statements.

(3) Comprehensive Income
The components of comprehensive income, net of related tax, for the periods ended June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006 are as follows:

			13 Weeks Ended				26 Weeks Ended

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW
Weis Markets, Inc. was founded in 1912 by Sigmund and Harry Weis in Sunbury, Pennsylvania. Today, the company ranks among the top 50 food and drug retailers in the United States in revenues generated. As of June 30, 2007, the company operated 157 retail food stores in Pennsylvania and four surrounding states: Maryland, New Jersey, West Virginia and New York. In addition to its retail food stores, the company operates 31 SuperPetz pet supply stores in ten states: Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Tennessee.

Company revenues are generated in its retail food stores from the sale of a wide variety of consumer products including groceries, dairy products, frozen foods, meats, seafood, fresh produce, floral, prescriptions, deli/bakery products, prepared foods, fuel, general merchandise, health and beauty care and household products. The company supports its retail operations through a centrally located distribution facility, transportation fleet, four manufacturing facilities and its administrative offices. The company's operations are reported as a single reportable segment.

The following analysis should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as the cautionary statement captioned "Forward-Looking Statements" immediately following this analysis.

OPERATING RESULTS
Total sales for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007 increased 3.0% to $578.8 million compared to sales of $561.9 million in the same quarter of 2006. Comparable store sales in the second quarter increased 3.2% compared to a 3.8% increase in 2006. Sales for the first half of this year increased 3.7% to $1.15 billion compared to $1.11 billion in 2006. Through the first half of the year, the company experienced a strong comparable store sales growth of 3.6% compared to a 1.4% increase for the same period a year ago. The company attributed its sales increase to successful sales building strategies and aggressive promotional pricing.

When calculating the percentage change in comparable store sales, the company defines a new store to be comparable the week following one full year of operation. Relocated stores and stores with expanded square footage are included in comparable sales since these units are located in existing markets and are open during construction. When a store is closed, sales generated from that unit in the prior year are subtracted from total company sales starting the same week of closure in the prior year and continuing from that point forward.

Although the company experienced some product inflation, management does not feel it can accurately measure the full impact of product inflation and deflation on retail pricing due to changes in the types of merchandise sold between periods, shifts in customer buying patterns and the fluctuation of competitive factors.

Cost of sales consists of direct product costs (net of discounts and allowances), warehouse costs, transportation costs and manufacturing facility costs. In recent years, many vendors have converted promotional incentives to reimbursements based upon sales movement data recorded at the point of sale rather than for cases purchased. Management expects this trend to have no discernible impact on the company's overall gross profit results.

Gross profit of $154.2 million at 26.6% of sales, increased $3.0 million or 2.0% versus the same quarter last year and the gross profit rate decreased 0.3%. The year-to-date gross profit at 26.6% of sales increased $6.6 million or 2.2%, while the gross profit rate decreased 0.4%. The company's gross profit rate was adversely impacted by aggressive promotional activity.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(continued)

OPERATING RESULTS (continued)
The company is in the second phase of its implementation of an exception reporting and performance management application and anticipates completion in 2007. This rules-based exception-monitoring tool provides store management with real-time information, which is expected to improve shrink control and gross profit margin results.

The second quarter operating, general and administrative expenses of $126.6 million at 21.9% of sales, decreased $1.8 million or 1.4% compared to the same quarter in 2006. As a percentage of sales, operating expenses were 0.9% lower than the second quarter last year. Year-to-date operating, general and administrative expenses increased $4.1 million compared to the first half of last year, these expenses decreased to 22.5% of sales from 22.9% in 2006. The quarter and year-to-date percent of sales decrease is attributable to a pre-tax gain on the sale of a closed store facility and an undeveloped parcel of land for a total of $5.3 million. Interchange fees for accepting credit/debit cards increased 13.9% in the quarter compared to the same period in 2006. The company remains extremely concerned about the continuing rise in interchange fees for accepting credit/debit card transactions. Consequently, the company is working with a wide variety of corporations and associations to reduce interchange rates through legislative and regulatory initiatives.

In the second quarter, the company's investment income totaled $773,000 at 0.1% of sales, a decrease of $372,000 or 32.5% compared to the same period a year ago. Year-to-date, the company's investment income decreased $990,000 or 40.3% to $1.5 million. The company realized a long-term gain of $431,000 on the sale of equities from its investment portfolio during the first quarter of 2006.

The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2007 and 2006 was 36.1% and 35.6%, respectively. Year-to-date, the effective tax rate was 35.4% for 2007 compared to 35.8% for the first half of last year. The effective income tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the effect of state taxes.

For the three-month period ending June 30, 2007, net income of $18.2 million increased 17.2% compared to the same period last year. Basic and diluted earnings per share of $.67 for the quarter increased $.10 or 17.5% compared to 2006. Year-to-date earnings increased 3.7% from $30.4 million to $31.6 million. Basic and diluted earnings per share in the first half of 2007 increased 3.5% to $1.17 compared to $1.13 generated in the first half of last year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the first twenty-six weeks of 2007, the company generated $51.5 million in cash flows from operating activities compared to $58.1 million for the same period in 2006. Working capital increased $8.9 million or 6.0% since the beginning of the year. First half 2006 cash flows from operating activities benefited from a $2.3 million reimbursement for prepaid associate medical benefits because of contract changes.

Net cash used in investing activities in the first half of 2007 amounted to $13.4 million compared to the $48.8 million used in 2006. Capital expenditures for the first half totaled $33.3 million compared to $49.9 million in 2006. The company estimated that its capital expenditure plans would require an investment of $72.5 million in 2007. This plan includes construction of new superstores, the expansion and remodeling of existing units, the acquisition of sites for future expansion, new technology purchases and the continued upgrade of company processing and distribution facilities.

Net cash used in financing activities during the first twenty-six weeks of 2007 was $15.9 million compared to $15.7 million in 2006. In 2007, treasury stock purchases amounted to $528,000 in the period compared to $183,000 in the first half last year. The Board of Directors' 2004 resolution authorizing the purchase of one million shares of treasury stock has a remaining balance of 852,108 shares.

(continued)

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (continued)
Cash dividends of $15.7 million were paid to shareholders in the first half of 2007, approximately the same amount as a year ago. At its regular meeting held in July, the Board of Directors unanimously approved a quarterly dividend of $.29 per share, payable on August 17, 2007 to shareholders of record on August 3, 2007.

The company has no other commitment of capital resources as of June 30, 2007, other than the lease commitments on its store facilities under operating leases that expire at various dates through 2027. The company anticipates funding its working capital requirements and its $72.5 million capital expansion program through internally generated cash flows from operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

The company has chosen accounting policies that it believes are appropriate to accurately and fairly report its operating results and financial position, and the company applies those accounting policies in a consistent manner. The Significant Accounting Policies are summarized in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no changes to the Critical Accounting Policies since the company filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2006.
