##### Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies

Business. Pathmark Stores, Inc. (the Company or
Pathmark) operated 142 supermarkets as of July 30, 2005, primarily in the
New York-New Jersey and Philadelphia metropolitan areas.

Basis of Presentation. The unaudited consolidated financial
statements included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). In the
opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all
adjustments which are of a normal and recurring nature and are necessary to present fairly
the results of operations and financial position of the Company. This report should be
read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in
the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 29, 2005.

Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of

##### Note 2. Yucaipa Investment

On June 9, 2005, the Company, pursuant to a securities
purchase agreement dated as of March 23, 2005 (the Purchase Agreement), among
the Company, the Yucaipa Companies LLC (Yucaipa) and certain investment funds
affiliated with Yucaipa (the Investors), issued to the Investors: (i)
20,000,000 shares (the Shares) of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share,
of Pathmark (the Common Stock), (ii) Series A warrants (the Series A
Warrants) to purchase 10,060,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of
$8.50 per share, and (iii) Series B warrants (the Series B Warrants) to
purchase 15,046,350 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $15.00 per share (the
Shares, the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants are collectively referred to as
the Purchased Securities) for an aggregate purchase price of $150 million in
cash. When issued, the shares represented 39.8% of the outstanding Common Stock. Upon
issuance, the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants will represent approximately
9.9% and 10.0%, respectively, of the outstanding Common Stock. At the closing of the
Purchase Agreement, the Company and the Investors entered into a stockholders
agreement, pursuant to which the board of directors of the Company (the Board)

Directors), who were the independent directors on the Board prior to closing, and
five directors designated by the Investors. The Independent Directors have the right to
nominate their successors and the Investors have the right to designate one less than a
majority of the Board.

The Company received $137.5 million for the Purchased
Securities, net of $12.5 million of costs directly attributable to the offering, including
a closing fee and transaction expenses of $6.2 million paid to Yucaipa. At closing, the
Company used $40.3 million of the net proceeds to pay down its Working Capital Facility
borrowings and subsequently used $23.3 million to defease its mortgage borrowings,
including a redemption premium of $2.3 million. The remaining net proceeds were invested
in short-term cash investments and will be used for general corporate purposes, including
capital expenditures.

##### Note 4. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation plans
using the intrinsic value recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles
Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees. Since the exercise price of all stock options granted under the
Companys stock-based compensation plans was equal to the market price of the
underlying common stock on the grant date, no stock-based compensation expense is
recognized in the Companys operating results.

The following proforma disclosure illustrates the effect
on the net loss and net loss per share as if the Company had applied the fair value
recognition provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB)
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, as amended by SFAS
No. 148 (in millions, except per share amounts):

For purposes of the proforma disclosures, the estimated
fair value of the options issued is assumed to be expensed over the options vesting
period. Due to the Yucaipa Investment (see Note 2), the Investors own 39.8% of the
outstanding Common Stock. Under the terms of both the 2000 Employee Equity Plan (the
EEP) and the 2000 Non-Employee Directors Equity Plan (the
DEP), the purchase by the Investors of the Shares constituted a change in
control (Change in Control), whereby all unvested awards in the form of stock
options became vested immediately prior to the Change in Control, except as described
below. As a result of the Change in Control, the proforma net loss for the 13 weeks and
the 26 weeks ended July 30, 2005 include a stock-based compensation expense of $2.5
million, net of taxes.

On June 9, 2005, the Company awarded 229,000 nonqualified
stock options and 171,850 restricted stock units payable in shares of Common Stock to
various officers and other employees pursuant to the EEP. The stock options have an
exercise price of $8.60 per share (the fair market value on the award date), have a term
of ten years and vest pro rata over a four-year period commencing on the first anniversary
of the award date. The restricted stock units had a market value at date of grant of $1.5
million, which is being amortized as compensation expense over the four-year vesting
period. Neither the stock options nor the restricted stock units awarded on June 9, 2005
were subject to immediate vesting in connection with the Change in Control.

The Company will adopt SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004),
Share-Based Payment, effective with the first quarter reporting period ending
April 29, 2006 (see New Accounting Pronouncementsin Item 2).

The Company has outstanding $350 million aggregate
principal amount of 8.75% Senior Subordinated Notes, due 2012 (the Senior
Subordinated Notes), including $150 million issued at a premium, which pay cash
interest semi-annually on February 1 and August 1. The indenture relating to the Senior
Subordinated Notes (the Indenture) contains a number of restrictive covenants,
including a restriction on our ability to declare cash dividends on our Common Stock. The
Company was in compliance with all related covenants as of July 30, 2005.

On October 1, 2004, the Company entered into an amended
and restated $250 million senior secured credit facility (the Secured
Facility) with a group of lenders led by Fleet Retail Group, a Bank of America
company. On June 6, 2005, the Company entered into a first amendment (the First
Amendment) to the Secured Facility which became effective on June 9, 2005 (the
Secured Facility and First Amendment are hereinafter collectively referred to as the
Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement expires on October 1, 2009 and
consists of a $180 million revolving working capital facility, including letters of credit
(the Working Capital Facility) and a $70 million term loan (the Term
Loan).

##### Note 6. Long-Term Debt  (Continued)

The First Amendment provides that the sale of the
Purchased Securities to the Investors did not constitute a Change of Control or a
prohibited asset sale and that the Company was not required to use the net proceeds
thereof to prepay amounts under the Credit Agreement. The First Amendment also provides
that (1) the Company may, from time to time, request the issuance of letters of credit, up
to an aggregate of $150 million, an increase of $25 million, (2) the Working Capital
Facility be increased by an additional $25 million, subject to
certain conditions, and (3) the Company may repay and subsequently reborrow
any portion of the Term Loan, subject to certain conditions. The First Amendment
eliminated the requirement that the Company maintain a minimum Consolidated
EBITDA. This covenant was replaced with a covenant providing that the Company
maintain a ratio of Credit Extensions to Consolidated EBITDA at or below 1.9:1.0
(calculated on a trailing four-fiscal-quarters basis). Under the Credit
Agreement, Credit Extensions mean the sum of the principal balance of all
outstanding borrowings thereunder and the amount of outstanding letters of
credit. The definition of Consolidated EBITDA was also amended in the First Agreement
to include, as an addback to Consolidated Net Income (as defined in the Credit
Agreement), (i) all fees and expenses payable by the Company to Yucaipa on the
closing date, (ii) any other fees payable under the MSA, by and between the
Company and Yucaipa, and (iii) fees and expenses (up to $2.5 million)
incurred by the Company in the last quarter of fiscal 2004 and in the first six months of
fiscal 2005 in connection with the Companys review of strategic alternatives.
Additionally, the amount of cash capital expenditures in a fiscal year
was increased from $110 million to the lesser of $150 million or an amount equal
to the Companys Consolidated EBITDA in the immediate preceding fiscal year
plus any unused cash capital expenditures in the immediate preceding fiscal year
up to a maximum of $20 million. The minimum inventory level covenant of $150
million remains in effect. The Company was in compliance with all Credit
Agreement covenants as of July 30, 2005.

Interest on borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear
interest at floating rates equal to LIBOR plus a premium that ranges between 1.50% to
2.25%, depending on the average availability under the Credit Agreement, and at July 30,
2005, was at LIBOR plus 1.75%.

There are no credit agency ratings-related triggers in
either the Indenture or the Credit Agreement that would adversely impact the cost of
borrowings, annual amortization of principal or related debt maturities.

The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the
issuance of the Purchased Securities to pay down its Working Capital Facility borrowings
and defease its mortgage borrowings.

##### Note 7. Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net is comprised of the following (in

action complaint (the Complaint) against the Company and its directors (the
Individual Defendants the Company and the Individual Defendants hereinafter
collectively referred to as the Defendants). The Complaint asserts on behalf
of a purported class of stockholders of the Company a claim against the Defendants for
issuing a proxy statement in connection with the Purchase Agreement, that was allegedly
materially false and misleading. The Complaint additionally asserts a claim against the
Individual Defendants for alleged breach of fiduciary duties in connection with the
Purchase Agreement. The Complaint seeks an award of damages for the alleged wrongs
asserted in the Complaint. The lawsuit is in its preliminary stage. On August 19, 2005,
the Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Complaint. The Company believes that the
lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend vigorously against it.

Guarantees.In the normal course of business, the
Company has assigned to third parties various leases related to former businesses that the
Company sold as well as former operating Pathmark supermarkets (the Assigned
Leases). When the Assigned Leases were assigned, the Company generally remained
secondarily liable with respect to these lease obligations. As such, if any of the
assignees were to become unable to continue making payments under the Assigned Leases, the
Company could be required to assume the lease obligation. As of July 30, 2005, 64 Assigned
Leases remain in place. Assuming that each respective assignee became unable to continue
to make payments under an Assigned Lease, an event the Company believes to be remote,
management estimates its maximum potential obligation with respect to the Assigned Leases
to be approximately $102 million, which could be partially or totally offset by
reassigning or subletting such leases. The Company has recognized a liability on its
consolidated balance sheet as of July 30, 2005 of $2.6 million, which represents certain
guarantees attributable to the Companys secondary liability in connection with
Assigned Leases.

##### Results of Operations

The following table sets forth selected consolidated
statements of operations data (dollars in millions):

Sales. Sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2005
were $1,000.7 million, down 1.1% from $1,011.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal
2004. The sales decrease in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 was due to a 2.0% decrease
in same-store sales (stores open the entire second quarter in both fiscal 2005 and fiscal
2004, including replacement stores) and a 0.4% decrease from closed stores, partially
offset by a 1.3% increase from new stores. Sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2005
continued to be negatively affected by a decrease in
customer traffic, in spite of an increase in average order size. Sales in the first six
months of fiscal 2005 were $2,003.2 million, up 0.1% from $2,001.8 million in the first
six months of fiscal 2004. The sales increase in the first six months of fiscal 2005 was
due to a 1.5% increase from new stores, partially offset by a 0.9% decrease in same-store
sales and a 0.5% decrease from closed stores. Sales in the first six months of fiscal 2005
benefited from an increase in average order size, but continued to be negatively affected
by a decrease in customer traffic. The Company
operated 142 stores at the end of the second quarters of fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004.

Gross Profit. Gross profit represents the
difference between sales and cost of goods sold, which includes the cost of inventory sold
and the related purchase and distribution costs, net of vendor allowances and rebates.
Gross profit in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 was $285.9 million or 28.6% of sales
compared to $283.7 million or 28.0% of sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2004. The
increase in gross profit dollars in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 was primarily due to
higher gross margins and lower inventory shrink, partially offset by lower sales and
higher logistic costs. Gross profit margin in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 increased
by 0.6% over the second quarter of fiscal 2004 primarily due to improved departmental mix
and lower inventory shrink. Gross profit in the first six months of fiscal 2005 was $570.9
million or 28.5% of sales compared to $563.1 million or 28.1% of sales in the first six
months of fiscal 2004. The increase in gross profit dollars in the first six months of
fiscal 2005 was primarily due to lower inventory shrink. The gross profit margin in the
first six months of fiscal 2005 increased by 0.4% over the first six months of fiscal 2004,
primarily due to improved departmental mix and lower inventory shrink.

16

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
(SG&A). SG&A in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 was $254.9
million or 25.5% of sales compared to $248.2 million or 24.5% of sales in the second
quarter of fiscal 2004. The increase in SG&A in the second quarter of fiscal 2005
compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2004 was primarily due to (1) higher store labor
expenses resulting from contractual increases, (2) higher supply and utility charges
resulting from higher oil prices, and (3) higher rent and real estate taxes. SG&A in
the first six months of fiscal 2005 was $505.8 million or 25.3% of sales compared to
$492.8 million or 24.6% of sales in the first six months of fiscal 2004. SG&A in the
first six months of fiscal 2005 included $1.1 million in expenses related to our review of
strategic alternatives. SG&A in the first six months of fiscal 2004 included a $1.2
million gain from the disposition of real estate. Excluding the aforementioned items,
SG&A in the first six months of fiscal 2005 increased by $10.7 million compared to the
first six months of fiscal 2004 primarily due to (1) higher store labor expenses resulting
from contractual increases, (2) higher supply and utility charges resulting from higher
oil prices, and (3) higher rent and real estate taxes.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and
amortization in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 were $22.3 million compared to $21.5
million in the second quarter of fiscal 2004. Depreciation and amortization in the first
six months of fiscal 2005 were $44.5 million compared to $43.0 million in the first six
months of fiscal 2004. The increase in depreciation and amortization in the second quarter
and in the first six months of fiscal 2005 was primarily due to an increase in related
property and equipment.

Operating Earnings. Operating earnings in the
second quarter of fiscal 2005 were $8.7 million compared to $14.0 million in the second
quarter of fiscal 2004. Operating earnings in the first six months of fiscal 2005 were
$20.6 million compared to $27.3 million in the first six months of fiscal 2004. The
decrease in operating earnings in the second quarter and in the first six months of fiscal
2005 was primarily due to higher SG&A.

Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense was $18.2
million in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to $16.3 million in the second
quarter of fiscal 2004. Interest expense was $34.5 million in the first six months of
fiscal 2005 compared to $32.8 million in the first six months of fiscal 2004. The increase
in interest expense in the second quarter and in the first six months of fiscal 2005 was
primarily due to the early extinguishment of debt charge of $2.8 million, partially offset
by lower debt resulting from the Yucaipa investment.

Income Tax Benefit.The income tax benefit was
$4.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to $0.7 million in the second
quarter of fiscal 2004 and was based on an effective tax rate of 46.7% in the second
quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to 30.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 2004. The income
tax benefit was $6.7 million in the first six months of fiscal 2005 compared to $2.1
million in the first six months of fiscal 2004 and was based on an effective tax rate of
48.6% in the first six months of fiscal 2005 compared to 38.0% in the first six months of
fiscal 2004. The higher effective tax rate in the second quarter and in the first six
months of fiscal 2005 was primarily due to the Work Opportunity Tax Credit
(WOTC), which increased the tax benefit. The effective tax rate in the second
quarter and in the first six months of fiscal 2004 did not include the WOTC due to its
expiration on December 31, 2003. The WOTC was reinstated in September 2004, retroactive to
January 1, 2004.

Summary of Operations. The net loss was $5.1
million in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to $1.6 million in the second
quarter of fiscal 2004. The net loss in the first six months of fiscal 2005 was $7.2
million compared to $3.4 in the first six months of fiscal 2004. The increase in the net
loss in the second quarter and in the first six months of fiscal 2005 was primarily due to
lower operating earnings and higher interest expense, primarily due to the early
extinguishment of debt charge, partially offset by higher income tax benefits.

##### Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows. The following table sets forth certain
consolidated statements of cash flow data (in millions):

|                             | 26 Weeks Ended
|---------------------------- | --------------
|
|Cash provided by (used for): |               
|Operating activities         |               
|Investing activities         |               
|Financing activities         |               

The decrease in cash provided by operating activities in
fiscal 2005 compared to fiscal 2004 was primarily due to a higher net loss. The decrease
in cash used for investing activities in fiscal 2005 compared to fiscal 2004 was due to
lower capital expenditures, partially offset by lower proceeds from the sale of real
estate. The increase in cash provided by financing activities in fiscal 2005 compared to
fiscal 2004 was primarily due to the proceeds related to the issuance of the Purchased
Securities, net of debt repayments (see Debt Service and Liquiditybelow).

17

Debt Service and Liquidity. Our liquidity
significantly improved on June 9, 2005, when pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we issued
the Purchased Securities to the Investors for an aggregate purchase price of $150 million
in cash. We received $137.5 million for the Purchased Securities, net of $12.5 million of
costs directly attributable to the offering. The Company used $40.3 million of the net
proceeds to pay down its Working Capital Facility borrowings and $23.3 million to defease
its mortgage borrowings. The remaining net proceeds were invested in short-term cash
investments and will be used for general corporate purposes, including capital
expenditures.

Also, on June 9, 2005, the First Amendment to the Credit
Agreement became effective. The First Amendment provides that the sale of the Purchased
Securities to the Investors did not constitute a Change of Control or a prohibited asset
sale and that we are not required to use the net proceeds thereof to prepay amounts under
the Credit Agreement. The First Amendment also provides that (1) we may, from time to
time, request the issuance of letters of credit, up to an aggregate of $150 million, an
increase of $25 million, (2) the Working Capital Facility be increased by an additional
$25 million, subject to certain conditions, and (3) we may repay and subsequently reborrow
any portion of the Term Loan, subject to certain conditions. As of July 30, 2005,
borrowings under the Term Loan were $70.0 million, there were no borrowings under the
Working Capital Facility and outstanding letters of credit were $81.0 million with
borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement of $99.0 million.

The Credit Agreement contains certain covenants which,
among other things, place limits on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, issuance of
cash-pay preferred stock, repurchase of Company stock, incurrence of liens, sale-leaseback
transactions, hedging activities, sale or discount of receivables, investments, loans,
advances, guarantees with affiliates, asset sales, acquisitions, capital expenditures,
mergers and consolidations, changing lines of business, repayments of other indebtedness,
amendments to organizational documents and other matters customarily restricted in such
agreements. Also, the Credit Agreement prohibits the payment of cash dividends. The Credit
Agreement contains customary events of default, including without limitation, payment
defaults, material breaches of representations, warranties and covenants, certain events
of bankruptcy and insolvency, and a change of control. The First Amendment eliminated the
requirement that we maintain a minimum Consolidated EBITDA. This covenant was replaced
with a covenant providing that we maintain a ratio of Credit Extensions to Consolidated
EBITDA at or below 1.9:1.0 (calculated on a trailing four-fiscal-quarters basis). Under
the Credit Agreement, Credit Extensions mean the sum of the principal balance of all
outstanding borrowings thereunder and the amount of outstanding letters of credit.
The definition of Consolidated EBITDA was also amended in the First Agreement
to include, as an addback to Consolidated Net Income (as defined in the Credit
Agreement), (i) all fees and expenses payable by us to Yucaipa on the
closing date, (ii) any other fees payable under the MSA, by and between us
and Yucaipa, and (iii) fees and expenses (up to $2.5 million)
incurred by us in the last quarter of fiscal 2004 and in the first six months of
fiscal 2005 in connection with our review of strategic alternatives.
Additionally, the amount of cash capital expenditures in a fiscal year was increased from
$110 million to the lesser of $150 million or an amount equal to our Consolidated EBITDA
in the immediate preceding fiscal year plus any unused cash capital expenditures in the
immediate preceding fiscal year up to a maximum of $20 million. The minimum inventory
level covenant of $150 million remains in effect. We were in compliance with all Credit
Agreement covenants as of July 30, 2005.

We believe that cash flows generated from operations
supplemented by the unused borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement, the availability
of capital lease financing and our cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to provide
for our debt service requirements, working capital needs and capital expenditure program.

There are no credit agency ratings-related triggers in
either the Credit Agreement or in the Indenture relating to the Senior Subordinated Notes
that would adversely impact the cost of borrowings, annual amortization of principal or
related debt maturities.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at
floating rates equal to LIBOR plus a premium that ranges between 1.50% to 2.25%, depending
on the average remaining availability under the Credit Agreement. Our interest rate on
borrowings under the Credit Agreement is currently at LIBOR plus 1.75%. Under the Term
Loan, we are required to make a balloon payment of $70 million on October 1, 2009. The
Working Capital Facility also expires on October 1, 2009. The weighted-average interest
rate in effect on all borrowings under the Term Loan was 5.0% during the first six months
of fiscal 2005.

18

All of the obligations under the Credit Agreement are
guaranteed by the Companys 100% owned subsidiaries, except our nonguarantor
subsidiaries, which are comprised of four 100% owned and consolidated single-purpose
entities. Each of these single-purpose entities owns the real estate on which a
supermarket leased to Pathmark is located. The obligations under the Credit Agreement and
those of the subsidiaries guaranteeing the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially
all of the Companys tangible and intangible assets including, without limitation,
intellectual property, real property, including leasehold interests, and the capital stock
in each of these subsidiaries.

We have outstanding $350 million aggregate principal
amount of Senior Subordinated Notes, including $150 million issued at a premium, which pay
cash interest semi-annually on February 1 and August 1. The Indenture contains a number of
restrictive covenants, including a restriction on our ability to declare cash dividends on
our common stock. We were in compliance with all Senior Subordinated Notes covenants as of
July 30, 2005.

Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures in the
second quarter of fiscal 2005, including technology investments, were $8.7 million
compared to $29.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2004. Capital expenditures in
the first six months of fiscal 2005, including technology investments, were $15.4 million
compared to $64.5 million in the first six months of fiscal 2004. During the first six
months of fiscal 2005, we renovated one store and closed one store. During the remainder
of fiscal 2005, we expect to open two new stores, close one store and complete seven store
renovations. One of the new stores is a replacement for the store being closed. Capital
expenditures for fiscal 2005, including property acquired under capital leases and
technology investments, are expected to be approximately $75 million.

##### Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion of results of operations and financial
condition relies on our consolidated financial statements that are prepared based on
certain critical accounting policies that require management to make judgments and
estimates that are subject to varying degrees of uncertainty. We believe that investors
need to be aware of these policies and how they impact our financial statements as a
whole, as well as our related discussion and analysis presented herein. While we believe
that these accounting policies are based on sound measurement criteria, actual future
events can and often do result in outcomes that can be materially different from these
estimates or forecasts. The accounting policies and related risk described in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 29, 2005 are those that depend most heavily
on these judgments and estimates. As of July 30, 2005, there have been no material changes
to any of the critical accounting policies contained therein.

##### New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised
2004), Share-Based Payment, which replaced SFAS No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation, and superseded APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees. This statement requires compensation costs relating to
share-based payment transactions, including grants of employee stock options, be
recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The proforma disclosure
previously permitted under SFAS No. 123 will no longer be an acceptable alternative to
recognition of expenses in the financial statements. The effective date of this statement
was deferred until the beginning of the annual reporting period that begins after June 15,
2005, i.e., for the Companys first quarterly reporting period ending April 29, 2006.
As a result, the Company will adopt this statement in fiscal 2006. The Company currently
measures compensation costs related to share-based payments under APB No. 25, as allowed
by SFAS No. 123, and provides the required disclosure in the notes to financial
statements. This statement provides for two transition alternatives: modified-prospective
transition or modified-retrospective transition. The Company is currently evaluating the
transition alternatives and the impact on the Companys financial statements.

19

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154,
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, which replaced APB Opinion No. 20,
Accounting Changes, and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in
Interim Financial Statements, and changed the requirements for the accounting for
and reporting of a change in accounting principle. The 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. When a pronouncement includes specific transition provisions, those
provisions should be followed. 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 periods 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. When it is impracticable
to determine the period-specific effects of an accounting change on one or more individual
prior periods presented, this statement requires that the new accounting principle be
applied to the balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest
period for which retrospective application is practicable and that a corresponding
adjustment be made to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate
components of equity or net assets in the statement of financial position) for that period
rather than being reported in an income statement. When it is impracticable to determine
the cumulative effect of applying a change in accounting principle to all prior periods,
this statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied as if it were adopted
prospectively from the earliest date practicable. This statement requires that
retrospective application of a change in accounting principle be limited to the direct
effects of the change. Indirect effects of a change in accounting principle, such as a
change in nondiscretionary profit-sharing payments resulting from an accounting change,
should be recognized in the period of the accounting change. This statement also requires
that a change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method for long-lived,
nonfinancial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected by a
change in accounting principle. This statement carries forward without change the guidance
contained in APB Opinion No. 20 for reporting the correction of an error in previously
issued financial statements and a change in accounting estimate. This statement also
carries forward the guidance in APB Opinion No. 20 requiring justification of a change in
accounting principle on the basis of preferability. The provisions of SFAS No. 154 are
required to be adopted effective with the Companys first quarterly reporting period in fiscal
2006. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this statement will have an impact
on its financial position or results of operations.

In June 2005, the FASB ratified the recommendation of the
staff of the Emerging Issues Task Force (the EITF) on EITF Issue No. 05-3,
Accounting for Rental Costs Incurred During the Construction Period that an
entity may not capitalize rental costs associated with either ground or building operating
leases that are incurred during the construction period. The guidance in this issue is
effective for the Companys fourth quarterly reporting period ending January 28, 2006 and its adoption is not
expected to have any impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations.

In June 2005, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue
No. 05-06, Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements Purchased
After Lease Inception or Acquired in a Business Combination. This issue states that
leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination and leasehold improvements
purchased significantly after, and not contemplated at the beginning of the lease term,
should both be amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the assets or a term that
includes renewals that are reasonably assured at the date of acquisition. The guidance in
this issue is effective for leasehold improvements that are purchased or acquired in
reporting periods beginning after June 29, 2005, i.e., for the Companys third quarterly reporting period ending
October 29, 2005. The Companys accounting policies already reflect adoption of this
guidance.

##### Forward-Looking Information

This report contains both historical and
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. These statements appear in a number of places in
this report and include statements regarding our intent, belief and current expectations
with respect to, among other things, capital expenditures and technology initiatives, the
ability to borrow funds under our credit facility, the ability to successfully implement
our operating strategies, including trends affecting our business, financial condition and
results of operations. The words anticipate, believe,
expect, forecast, guidance, intend,
may, plan, project, will and other similar
expressions generally identify forward-looking statements. While these forward-looking
statements and the related assumptions are made in good faith and reflect our current
judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary,
sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other
future performance suggested herein. These statements are based upon a number of
assumptions and estimates which are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and
contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and reflect future business decisions
which are subject to change. Some of these assumptions inevitably will not materialize,
and unanticipated events will occur which will affect our results.

20

Some important factors (but not necessarily all factors)
that could negatively affect our revenues, growth strategies, future profitability and
operating results, or that otherwise could cause actual results to differ materially from
those expressed in or implied by any forward-looking statement, include the following:

- changes in business and economic conditions and other adverse  conditions in our
markets;
- unanticipated environmental damages;
- increased competition;
- increased labor and labor related (e.g., health and welfare  and pension) costs
and/or labor disruptions;
- reliance on third-party suppliers;
- our ability to successfully implement our operating,  marketing, renovation and
expansion strategies; and
- natural disasters.

For a discussion of these factors, see Item 1 
Business  Factors Affecting Our Business and Prospects in our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended January 29, 2005.

#### Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Our financial results are subject to risk from interest
rate fluctuations on debt which carries variable interest rates. Variable rate debt
outstanding under our Term Loan was $70.0 million on July 30, 2005. The interest rate in
effect on all borrowings under our Term Loan was 5.0% during the first six months of
fiscal 2005. A 1% change in interest rates applied to the $70.0 million balance of
floating-rate Term Loan debt would affect pre-tax annual results of operations by
approximately $0.7 million. Our Senior Subordinated Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of
8.75%, and are, therefore, not subject to risk from interest rate fluctuations. The
principal objective of our investment management activities is to maintain acceptable
levels of interest rate and liquidity risk to facilitate our funding needs. As part of our
risk management, we may use derivative financial products such as interest rate hedges and
interest rate swaps in the future.

#### Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

The Companys management, with the participation of
the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the
effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule
13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act as of July 30, 2005. Based on that evaluation, the
Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as
of July 30, 2005, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective in
timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company required to be
included in the Companys Exchange Act reports.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company
remediated a material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting, which was
reported in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 29,
2005, by implementing a more extensive analysis and review over the accounting for book
overdrafts.

There has been no other change during the Companys
fiscal quarter ended July 30, 2005 in the Companys internal controls over financial
reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange
Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Companys internal controls over financing reporting.

### Part II. Other Information

#### Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On June 15, 2005, Rick Hartman filed in the United States
District Court for the District of Delaware the Complaint against the Company and the
Individual Defendants. The Complaint asserts on behalf of a purported class of
stockholders of the Company a claim against the Defendants for issuing a proxy statement
in connection with the Purchase Agreement, that was allegedly materially false and
misleading. The Complaint additionally asserts a claim against the Individual Defendants
for alleged breach of fiduciary duties in connection with the Purchase Agreement. The
Complaint seeks an award of damages for the alleged wrongs asserted in the Complaint. The
lawsuit is in its preliminary stage. On August 19, 2005, the Defendants filed a motion to
dismiss the Complaint. The Company believes that the lawsuit is without merit and intends
to defend vigorously against it.
