|   | · | Growth      and Profitability – While      the company focuses on store sales growth, expense control and positive      cash flow, it will continue to identify opportunities with new stores,      additions to existing stores, remodels and acquisitions.  The      company believes successfully planned growth will increase market share      and operating profits, resulting in enhanced shareholder value. |
|--------|--------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | · | Merchandising      and Operational Differentiation – The      company has identified product pricing, shopping experience and customer      focus to maintain its differentiation versus its      competitors.  Management is committed to providing a clean,      efficient customer shopping experience, while offering competitive prices      on both branded and private label products to meet and exceed our      customers’ expectations. |

|   | · | Talent      Management – To keep pace with the company’s growth and profitability      focus, management is committed to developing future leaders utilizing its      associates to increase bench strength, ensure succession preparedness, and      improve overall associate performance. |
|--------|--------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | · | Supply      Chain – Management will continue to reshape and streamline its supply      chain by improving inventory turns, cost per case, in stock position and      overall service level, thereby building store sales capabilities. |
|--------|--------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | · | Information      Technology Initiatives – The company will increase its investment in      information technology to improve associate productivity with user      friendly, support driven systems. |
|--------|--------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | · | Competition      - The retail food industry is intensely price competitive.  The      company’s financial results may be adversely impacted by a competitive      environment which could cause the company to reduce retail prices without      a corresponding reduction in its product cost to maintain market share,      resulting in lower sales and gross profit  margins. |
|--------|--------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | · | Trade      Area - The company’s stores are concentrated in central and northeast      Pennsylvania, central Maryland, suburban Baltimore regions and New York’s      Southern Tier.  Changes in economic and social conditions in the      company’s operating regions, including the rate of inflation, population      demographics and employment and job growth, affect customer shopping      habits.  Business disruptions due to weather and catastrophic      events historically have been few, but the company’s geographic regions do      receive varying amounts of snow annually.  Such conditions could      materially affect sales and expenseresults. |

|   | · | Food      Safety - Customers count on the company to provide them with wholesome      food products.  Concerns regarding the safety of food products      sold in its stores could cause shoppers to avoid purchasing certain      products from the company, or to seek alternative sources of supply for      all of their food needs, even if the basis for the concern is outside of      the company’s control.  Any lost confidence on the part of its      customers would be difficult and costly to reestablish.  As      such, any issue regarding the safety of any food items sold by the      company, regardless of the cause, could have a substantial and adverse      effect on operation. |
|--------|--------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | · | Execution      of Expansion Plans - Circumstances outside the company’s control could      negatively impact anticipated capital investments.  The company      cannot determine with certainty whether its new stores will be      successful.  The failure to expand by successfully opening new      stores as planned, or the failure of a significant number of these stores      to perform as planned, could have a material adverse effect on the      company’s business and results of its  operations. |
|--------|--------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | · | Data      and Technology - The company’s business is increasingly dependent on      information technology systems that are complex and vital to continuing      operations.  If the company was to experience difficulties      maintaining existing systems or implementing new systems, significant      losses could be incurred due to disruptions in its      operations.  Additionally, these systems contain valuable      proprietary data that, if breached, would have an adverse effect on the      company. |
|--------|--------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | · | Operating      Costs - The company is affected by certain operating costs which could      increase or fluctuate considerably.  Associate expenses      contribute to the majority of its operating costs and therefore, the      company's financial performance is greatly influenced by increasing wage      and benefit costs, a competitive labor market, regulatory wage increases      and the risk of unionized labor disruptions of its non-union      workforce.  In addition, the rising rate of associate medical      insurance costs continue to outpace the company’s expenses as a      whole.  The company's profit is particularly sensitive to the      cost of oil.  Oil prices directly affect the company's product      transportation costs, as well as its utility and petroleum-based supply      costs. The company is extremely concerned about the continuing rise in      bank interchange fees for accepting payment cards at the point of      sale.  As the use of payment cards grow and banks continue to      raise their rates, this expense continues to decrease profit      margins. |

|   | · | Federal,      state and local laws and regulations - Various aspects of the company’s      business are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations. The      company’s compliance with these regulations may require additional capital      expenditures and could adversely affect the company’s ability to conduct      the company’s business as planned.   The company is subject      to various federal, state and local laws, regulations and administrative      practices that affect the company’s business. The company must comply with      numerous provisions regulating health and sanitation standards, food      labeling, equal employment opportunity, minimum wages and licensing for      the sale of food, drugs and alcoholic beverages.  Management      cannot predict either the nature of future laws, regulations,      interpretations or applications, or the effect either additional      government regulations or administrative orders, when and if promulgated,      or disparate federal, state, and local regulatory schemes would have on      the company’s future business. They could, however, require the      reformulation of certain products to meet new standards, the recall or      discontinuance of certain products not able to be reformulated, additional      record keeping, expanded documentation of the properties of certain      products, expanded or different labeling and/or scientific substantiation.      Any or all of such requirements could have an adverse effect on the      company’s results of operations and financial  condition. |
|--------|--------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | · | Self-Insurance      Exposure - The company uses a combination of insurance and self-insurance      to provide for potential liabilities for workers' compensation, general      liability, vehicle accident, property and associate medical benefit      claims.  Management estimates the liabilities associated with      the risks retained by the company, in part, by considering historical      claims experience, demographic and severity factors and other actuarial      assumptions which, by their nature, are subject to a high degree of      variability. Any projection of losses concerning workers’ compensation and      general liability is subject to a high degree of variability. Among the      causes of this variability are unpredictable external factors affecting      future inflation rates, discount rates, litigation trends, legal      interpretations, benefit level changes and claim settlement      patterns.  The company is liable for associate health claims up      to a lifetime aggregate of $1,000,000 per member and for workers'      compensation claims up to $2,000,000 per claim. Property and casualty      insurance coverage is maintained with outside carriers at deductible or      retention levels ranging from $100,000 to $1,000,000.  Although      the company has minimized its exposure on individual claims, the company,      for the benefit of cost savings, has accepted the risk of an unusual      amount of independent multiple material claims arising, which could have a      significant impact on earnings. |
