1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and therefore do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete annual financial statements. The accompanying financial information reflects all
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The results of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six
week periods ended August 28, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Fiscal 2010 10-K.
2. Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were
exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the income of the Company subject to anti-dilution limitations.

Impairment charges
Impairment charges include non-cash charges of $1,312 and $2,010 for the thirteen week periods ended August 28, 2010
and August 29, 2009, for the impairment of long-lived assets at seven stores in each fiscal quarter. Impairment charges include non-cash charges of $2,446 and $5,494 for
the twenty-six week periods ended August 28, 2010 and August 29, 2009, for the impairment of long-lived assets at 23 and 30 stores, respectively. These amounts
include the write-down of
long-lived assets at stores that were assessed for impairment because of management's intention to relocate or close the stores or because of changes in circumstances that indicated the
carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable.
Facility and equipment lease exit charges
During the thirteen week periods ended August 28, 2010 and August 29, 2009, the Company recorded charges for 12 and 20
stores, respectively, that were closed or relocated under long term

leases.
During the twenty-six week periods ended August 28, 2010 and August 29, 2009, the Company recorded charges for 20 and 84 stores, respectively, that were closed or
relocated under long term leases. Charges to close a store, which principally consist of lease termination costs, are recorded at the time the store is closed and all inventory is liquidated. The
Company calculates the liability for closed stores on a store-by-store basis. The calculation includes the discounted effect of future minimum lease payments and related
ancillary costs, from the date of closure to the end of the remaining lease term, net of estimated cost recoveries that may be achieved through subletting properties or through favorable lease
terminations. The Company evaluates these assumptions each quarter and adjusts the liability accordingly.
As
part of our ongoing business activities, the Company assesses stores for potential closure. Decisions to close stores in future periods would result in charges for store lease exit
costs and liquidation of inventory, as well as impairment of assets at these stores. The following table reflects the closed store charges that relate to new closures, changes in assumptions and
interest accretion:

The
above results are not necessarily indicative of the impact that these closures will have on revenues and operating results of the Company in the future, as the Company often
transfers the business of a closed store to another Company store, thereby retaining a portion of these revenues. The loss from operations does not include any allocation of corporate level overhead
costs.
The
Company prioritizes inputs used in measuring the fair value of its nonfinancial assets and liabilities into a hierarchy of three levels: Level 1—quoted prices
(unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2—inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly
observable; and Level 3—unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions that
market participants would use in pricing.
Long-lived
assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis for purposes of calculating impairment using Level 3 inputs as defined in the fair value
hierarchy. The fair value of long-lived assets is determined by estimating the amount and timing of net future cash
flows and discounting them using a risk-adjusted rate of interest. The Company estimates future cash flows based on its experience and knowledge of the market in which the store is
located.
The
table below sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the long-lived assets as of August 28, 2010 and August 29, 2009 for which an impairment
assessment was performed.

4. Income Taxes
The Company recorded an income tax expense from continuing operations of $2,826 and $3,989 for the thirteen week periods and $9,967 and $9,316 for the twenty-six week periods
ended August 28, 2010 and August 29, 2009, respectively. The income tax expense for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended August 28, 2010 is primarily due to
the need for an accrual of additional state taxes resulting from the receipt of a final audit determination and adjustments to unrecognized tax benefits. The income tax expense for the thirteen and
twenty-six week periods ended August 29, 2009 is primarily attributable to the accrual of state and local taxes and adjustments to unrecognized tax benefits.
The
Company is indemnified by Jean Coutu Group for certain tax liabilities incurred for all years ended up to and including June 4, 2007, related to the Brooks Eckerd acquisition.
Although the Company is indemnified by Jean Coutu Group, the Company remains the primary obligor to the tax authorities with respect to any tax liability arising for the years prior to the Brooks
Eckerd acquisition. Accordingly, as of August 28, 2010 the Company had a corresponding recoverable indemnification asset of $150,487 from Jean Coutu Group, included in the 'Other Assets' line
of the Consolidated Balance Sheets, to reflect the indemnification for such liabilities.
The
Company files U.S. federal income tax returns as well as income tax returns in those states where it does business. The federal income tax returns are closed to examination by
the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) through fiscal 2005. However, any net operating losses that were generated in these prior closed years may be subject to examination by the IRS upon utilization. The
IRS is currently examining the consolidated U.S. income tax return for Brooks Eckerd for the last pre-acquisition period of 2007. In fiscal 2010, the IRS completed the examination of the
consolidated U.S. income tax return for Rite Aid Corporation and subsidiaries for fiscal year 2008 and issued a no change report. Additionally the IRS completed the examination of the consolidated
U.S. income tax returns for Brooks Eckerd for the fiscal years 2004 through 2007. A revenue agent report (RAR) was received in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 relating to the examination of fiscal
years 2004 and 2005 and an RAR was received in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 relating to the examination of fiscal years 2006 and 2007. The company is appealing these audit results. Management
believes that the

Company
has adequately provided for any potential adverse results. Furthermore, the tax indemnification referenced above would reimburse the company for any assessment that may arise. State income tax
returns are generally subject to examination for a period of three to five years after filing of the respective return. However, as a result of reporting IRS audit adjustments, the Company has
statutes open in some states from fiscal 2003.
The
valuation allowances as of August 28, 2010 and February 27, 2010 apply to the net deferred tax assets of the Company. The Company continues to maintain a full valuation
allowance of $2,071,406 and $1,984,468 against net deferred tax assets at August 28, 2010 and February 27, 2010, respectively.
5. Sale Leaseback Transactions
During the twenty-six week period ended August 28, 2010, the Company had no sale leaseback transactions.
During
the twenty-six week period ended August 29, 2009, the Company sold two owned properties to independent third parties. Net proceeds from these sales were $6,532.
Concurrent with these sales, the Company entered into agreements to lease the stores back from the purchasers over minimum lease terms of 10 years. The Company accounted for both of these
leases as operating leases. A gain on the sale of these stores of $5,301 was deferred and is being recorded over the minimum term of these leases.
6. Intangible Assets
The Company's intangible assets are finite-lived and amortized over their useful lives. Following is a summary of the Company's amortizable intangible assets as August 28, 2010
and February 27, 2010.

Refinancing
In August 2010, the Company repaid all borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit facility due September 2012 and cancelled all
of its commitments thereunder and replaced such facility with a new $1,175,000 revolving credit facility (the "New Revolver") due 2015 (or such earlier date as noted below). The Company also repaid
and retired all borrowings and accrued interest due under its $647,726 Tranche 4 Term Loan due June 2015. The Company financed these repayments with the net proceeds from an issuance of
$650,000 of new 8.00% Senior Secured Notes due August 2020 (the "New Notes" the New Revolver and the New Notes are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Refinancing"), together with cash on
hand. The prepayment of the Tranche 4 Term Loan occurred prior to the second anniversary of the borrowing and therefore a 3.0% penalty of the principal amount outstanding was paid totaling
$19,432, which is included in the loss on debt modifications. The loss on debt modifications and retirements also included the write-off of debt issue costs of $13,142 and net unamortized
original issuance discounts of $11,429. Additionally, the Company incurred fees and expenses of $34,028 to consummate the Refinancing, which are being deferred and amortized over the terms of the
related debt instruments.
The
Company entered into these refinancing transactions to extend maturities and to lower interest expense. As part of the Refinancing, the Company also entered into amendments to make
certain other changes to its senior secured credit facility, including a revision to the fixed charge coverage ratio test and to permit the mandatory repurchase of its outstanding 8.5% convertible
notes due 2015. These amendments give the Company the ability to consummate a mandatory repurchase of the 8.5% convertible notes due 2015, so long as, before and after such transaction, no default or
event of default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Company's senior secured credit facility and there is more than $100,000 of availability under the new revolving credit facility.

7. Indebtedness and Credit Agreements (Continued)
Credit Facility
The New Revolver is included within the Company's senior secured credit facility. Borrowings under the New Revolver bear interest at
LIBOR plus 3.50%, if the Company chooses to make LIBOR borrowings, or at Citibank's base rate plus 2.50%. After November 27, 2010, the interest rate can fluctuate between LIBOR plus 3.25% and
LIBOR plus 3.75%, if the Company chooses to make LIBOR borrowings, or between Citibank's base rate plus 2.25% and Citibank's base rate plus 2.75%, based upon the amount of revolver availability, as
defined in the senior secured credit facility. The Company is required to pay fees between 0.50% and 0.75% per annum on the daily unused amount of the New Revolver, depending on the amount of revolver
availability. Amounts drawn under the New Revolver become due and payable on August 19, 2015, provided that such maturity date shall instead be April 18, 2014 in the event that on or
prior to April 18, 2014 the Company does not repay, refinance or otherwise extend the maturity date of its existing term loans to a date that is at least 90 days after August 19,
2015 and, in the case of a repayment or refinancing, the Company must have at least $500,000 of availability under the New Revolver.
The
Company's ability to borrow under the New Revolver is based upon a specified borrowing base consisting of accounts receivable, inventory and prescription files. At August 28,
2010, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the New Revolver and had letters of credit outstanding thereunder of $143,298, which gave the Company additional borrowing capacity of $1,031,702.
On
June 4, 2007, the Company amended its senior secured credit facility to establish a new senior secured term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $1,105,000 and borrowed
the full amount thereunder. A portion of the proceeds from the borrowings under this senior secured term loan (the "Tranche 2 Term Loan") were used to fund the acquisition of Brooks Eckerd. The
Tranche 2 Term Loan will mature on June 4, 2014 and currently bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.75%, if the Company chooses to make LIBOR borrowings, or at Citibank's base rate plus 0.75%.
The Company must make mandatory prepayments of the Tranche 2 Term Loan with the proceeds of asset dispositions (subject to certain limitations), with a portion of any excess cash flow generated
by the Company (as defined in the senior secured credit facility) and with the proceeds of certain issuances of equity and debt (subject to certain exceptions). If at any time total debt outstanding
under the senior secured credit facility exceeds the borrowing base, prepayment of the Tranche 2 Term Loan may also be required.
In
July 2008, the Company issued a new senior secured term loan (the "Tranche 3 Term Loan") of $350,000 under the Company's existing senior secured credit facility. The
Tranche 3 Term Loan was issued at a discount of 90% of par. The Tranche 3 Term Loan matures on June 4, 2014 and bears interest at LIBOR (with a minimum LIBOR rate of 3.00%) plus
3.00%, if the Company chooses to make LIBOR borrowings, or at Citibank's base rate (with a minimum base rate of 4.00%) plus 2.00%. The Company must make mandatory prepayments of the Tranche 3
Term Loan with the proceeds of asset dispositions (subject to certain limitations), with a portion of any excess cash flow generated by the Company (as defined in the senior secured credit facility)
and with the proceeds of certain issuances of equity and debt (subject to certain exceptions). If at any time total debt outstanding under

the
senior secured credit facility exceeds the borrowing base, prepayment of the Tranche 3 Term Loan may also be required.
The
senior secured credit facility restricts the Company and the subsidiary guarantors from accumulating cash on hand in excess of $200,000 at any time when revolving loans are
outstanding (not including cash located in the Company's store deposit accounts, cash necessary to cover the Company's current liabilities and certain other exceptions) and from accumulating cash on
hand with revolver borrowings in excess of $100,000 over three consecutive business days. The senior secured credit facility also states that if at any time (other than following the exercise of
remedies or acceleration of any senior obligations or second priority debt and receipt of a triggering notice by the senior collateral agent from a representative of the senior obligations or the
second priority debt) either (a) an event of default exists under the Company's senior secured credit facility or (b) the sum of revolver availability under the Company's senior secured
credit facility and certain amounts held on deposit with the senior collateral agent in a concentration account is less than $100,000 for three consecutive business days (a "cash sweep period"), the
funds in our deposit accounts will be swept to a concentration account with the senior collateral agent and will be applied first to repay outstanding revolving loans under the senior secured credit
facility, and then held as Collateral for the senior obligations until such cash sweep period is rescinded pursuant to the terms of the Company's senior secured credit facility.
The
senior secured credit facility allows the Company to have outstanding, at any time, up to $1,500,000 in secured second priority debt and unsecured debt in addition to borrowings
under the senior secured credit facility and existing indebtedness, provided that not in excess of $750,000 of such secured second priority debt and unsecured debt shall mature or require scheduled
payments of principal prior to three months after June 4, 2014. The senior secured credit facility allows the Company to incur an unlimited amount of unsecured debt with a maturity beyond three
months after June 4, 2014; however other outstanding debentures limit the amount of unsecured debt that can be incurred if certain interest coverage levels are not met at the time of incurrence
of said debt. The senior secured facility also allows, so long as the senior secured credit facility is not in default, for the repurchase of any debt with a maturity on or before June 4, 2014,
the voluntary repurchase of debt with a maturity after June 4, 2014 and the mandatory repurchase of the Company's 8.5% convertible notes due 2015 if the Company maintains availability on the
revolving credit facility of at least $100,000.
The
senior secured credit facility contains covenants, which place restrictions on the incurrence of debt beyond the restrictions described above, the payment of dividends, sale of
assets, mergers and acquisitions and the granting of liens. The Company's credit facility has a financial covenant which is the maintenance of a fixed charge coverage ratio. The covenant requires
that, if availability on the revolving credit facility is less than $150,000, the Company maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 0.95 to 1.00 for the second and third quarters of fiscal
2011, which increases to 1.00 for the following four quarters and increases to 1.05 thereafter. As of August 28, 2010, the Company had availability under its revolving credit facility of
$1,031,702 and was in compliance with the senior secured credit facility's financial covenant.

7. Indebtedness and Credit Agreements (Continued)
The
senior secured credit facility provides for events of default including nonpayment, misrepresentation, breach of covenants and bankruptcy. It is also an event of default if the
Company fails to make any required payment on debt having a principal amount in excess of $50,000 or any event occurs that enables, or which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time would
enable, the holder of such debt to accelerate the maturity or require the repurchase of such debt. The August 2010 amendments to the senior secured credit facility exclude the mandatory repurchase of
the 8.5% convertible notes due 2015 from this event of default.
Other Indebtedness
In August 2010, as part of the Refinancing, the Company issued $650,000 of 8.00% senior secured notes due August 15, 2020. These
notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of Rite Aid Corporation and rank equally in right of payment with all other unsubordinated indebtedness. The Company's obligations under these notes are
guaranteed, subject to certain limitations, by the same subsidiaries that guarantee the obligations under the senior secured credit facility. These guarantees are shared, on a senior basis, with debt
outstanding under the senior secured credit facility. The indenture that governs the 8.00% notes contains covenant provisions that, among other things, allow the holders of the notes to participate
along with the term loan holders in the mandatory prepayments resulting from the proceeds of certain asset dispositions (at the option of the noteholder) and include limitations on the Company's
ability to pay dividends, make investments or other restricted payments, incur debt, grant liens, sell assets and enter into sale-leaseback transactions.
Substantially
all of Rite Aid Corporation's wholly-owned subsidiaries guarantee the obligations under the senior secured credit facility. The subsidiary guarantees of the senior secured
credit facility; the 9.75% senior secured notes due 2016 and the 8.00% senior secured notes due 2020 are secured by a senior lien on, among other things, the inventory, accounts receivable and
prescription files of the
subsidiary guarantors. Rite Aid Corporation is a holding company with no direct operations and is dependent upon dividends, distributions and other payments from its subsidiaries to service payments
due under the senior secured credit facility. The Company's 10.375% senior secured notes due 2016, the 7.5% senior secured notes due 2017 and the 10.25% senior secured notes due 2019 are guaranteed by
substantially all of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries, which are the same subsidiaries that guarantee the senior secured credit facility, the 9.75% senior secured notes due 2016 and the 8.00%
senior secured notes due 2020, and are secured on a second priority basis by the same collateral as the senior secured credit facility, the 8.00% senior secured notes due 2020 and the 9.75% senior
secured notes due 2016. The 8.625% senior notes due 2015, the 9.375% senior notes due 2015 and the 9.5% senior notes due 2017 are also guaranteed by all of the same subsidiaries on an unsecured basis.
The
subsidiary guarantees related to the Company's senior secured credit facility and secured notes and on an unsecured basis the guaranteed indentures are full and unconditional and
joint and several, and there are no restrictions on the ability of the parent to obtain funds from its subsidiaries. Also, the parent company has no independent assets or operations, and subsidiaries
not guaranteeing the credit facility and applicable indentures are minor. Accordingly, condensed consolidating financial information for the parent and subsidiaries is not presented.

7. Indebtedness and Credit Agreements (Continued)
The
indentures that govern the Company's secured and guaranteed unsecured notes contain restrictions on the amount of additional secured and unsecured debt that can be incurred by the
Company. As of August 28, 2010, the amount of additional secured and unsecured debt that could be incurred under these indentures was $1,097,361 (which does not include the ability to enter
into certain sale and leaseback transactions or incur debt under the interest coverage ratio test). However, the Company could not incur any additional secured debt assuming a fully drawn revolver and
the outstanding letters of credit. The ability to issue additional unsecured debt under these indentures is subject to an interest coverage ratio test.
Convertible Notes
In July 2010, the Company repurchased $93,812 of its $158,000 outstanding 8.5% convertible notes with cash on hand and recorded a gain
on debt modification of $26. The Company's remaining 8.5% convertible notes require that the Company maintains a listing on the NYSE or certain other exchanges. In the event of a NYSE delisting,
holders of these notes could require the Company to repurchase them, which the Company has the ability to do if it meets certain conditions under its senior credit facility. The Company has received a
notice of non-compliance from the NYSE because the price of the Company's common stock has fallen below the NYSE's minimum share price rule. Per NYSE rules, the Company has six months from
the receipt of the notice to regain compliance or until its next annual stockholder's meeting in June 2011 if the Company chooses an action that needs stockholder approval to cure the minimum share
price deficiency. The Company's Board of Directors has approved a reverse stock split of the Company's common stock, subject to stockholder approval, if such a split is necessary to cure the minimum
share price deficiency. During this period, the Company's stock continues to be listed on the NYSE and trade as usual. The Company is in compliance with all other listing rules.
Maturities
The aggregate annual principal payments of long-term debt for the remainder of fiscal 2011 and thereafter are as follows:
2011—$11,619; 2012—$14,655; 2013—$14,664; 2014—$205,402; 2015—$1,369,450 and $4,507,188 thereafter.

8. Financial Instruments (Continued)
Cash, trade receivables and trade payables are carried at market value, which approximates their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
The
following methods and assumptions were used in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
LIBOR-based borrowings under credit facilities:
The carrying amounts for LIBOR-based borrowings under the credit facilities, term loans and term notes are estimated based on the
quoted market price of the financial instruments.
Long-term indebtedness:
The fair values of long-term indebtedness are estimated based on the quoted market prices of the financial instruments. If
quoted market prices were not available, the Company estimated the fair value based on the quoted market price of a financial instrument with similar characteristics.
9. Stock Options and Stock Awards
The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the award, net of an estimate for the impact of forfeitures. Operating results for the
twenty-six week periods ended August 28, 2010 and August 29, 2009 include $9,735 and $12,509, respectively, of compensation costs related to the company's stock-based

10. Retirement Plans (Continued)
During
the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended August 28, 2010 the Company contributed $378 and $784, respectively, to the Nonqualified Executive Retirement
Plan and contributed $0 to the Defined Benefit Pension Plan. During the remainder of fiscal 2011, the Company expects to contribute $784 to the Nonqualified Executive Retirement Plans and $0 to the
Defined Benefit Pension Plan.
11. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is currently a defendant in several putative collective or class action lawsuits filed in federal or state courts in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Maryland, Ohio and
Oregon, purportedly on behalf of, in some cases (i) current and former assistant store managers, or (ii) current and former store managers and assistant store managers, respectively,
working in the Company's stores at various locations. The lawsuits allege violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act and of certain state wage and hour statutes. The lawsuits seek various combinations
of unpaid compensation (including overtime compensation), liquidated damages, exemplary damages, pre- and post-judgment interest as well as attorneys' fees and costs. In one of
the cases, Craig et al v. Rite Aid Corporation et al, pending in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, brought on
behalf of current and former assistant store managers, the Court, on December 9, 2009, conditionally certified a nationwide collective group of individuals who worked for the Company as
assistant store managers since December 9, 2006. Notice of the Craig action has been sent to the purported members of the collective group
(approximately 6,700 current and former store managers) and approximately 1,100 have joined the Craig action. In another of the cases, Indergit v. Rite Aid Corporation et
al, pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York, brought on behalf of current and former store managers and assistant store managers, the Court, on April 2, 2010, conditionally certified a nationwide collective group of individuals who
worked for the Company as store managers since March 31, 2007. The Court ordered that Notice of the Indergit action be sent to the purported
members of the collective group (approximately 7,000 current and former store managers) and to date, approximately 1,550 have joined the Indergit
action. At this time, the Company is not able to predict the outcome of these lawsuits, or any possible monetary exposure associated with the lawsuits. The Company's management believes, however, that
the lawsuits are without merit and not appropriate for collective or class action treatment. The Company is vigorously defending all of these claims.
The
Company is currently a defendant in several putative class action lawsuits filed in state courts in California alleging violations of California wage and hour laws pertaining
primarily to pay for missed meals and rest periods. These suits purport to be class actions and seek substantial damages. At this time, the Company is not able to predict the outcome of these
lawsuits, or any possible monetary exposure associated with the lawsuits. The Company's management believes, however, that the plaintiffs' allegations are without merit and that their claims are not
appropriate for class action treatment. The Company is vigorously defending all of these claims.
The
Company does not believe that any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on its business or financial condition. The Company cannot give assurance, however, that an
unfavorable outcome in one or more of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations for the period in which they are resolved.

11. Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)
The
Company was served with a United States Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General ("OIG") Subpoena dated March 5, 2010 in connection with an
investigation being conducted by the OIG, the United States Attorney's Office for the Central District of California and the United States Department of Justice Commercial Litigation Branch. The
subpoena requests records related to any gift card or similar programs for customers who transferred prescriptions for drugs or medicines to the Company's pharmacies, and whether any customers who
receive federally funded prescription benefits (e.g. Medicare and Medicaid) may have benefited from those programs. The Company is in the process of producing records in response to the
subpoena and is unable to predict with certainty the timing or outcome of the investigation.
The
Company is subject from time to time to various claims and lawsuits and governmental investigations arising in the ordinary course of business. While the Company's management cannot
predict the outcome of these claims with certainty, the Company's management does not believe that the outcome of any of these legal matters will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated
results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
Net loss for the thirteen week period ended August 28, 2010 was $197.0 million compared to the net loss of
$116.0 million for the thirteen week period ended August 29, 2009. The increase in net loss was primarily driven by lower revenues and a loss on debt modifications related to refinancing
activities. Revenues decreased in the current quarter due to store closures and declines in both front-end and pharmacy same store sales. There was also a slight decrease in gross margin rate, due to
pharmacy reimbursement rate pressures on prescription sales, among other factors, as described in detail in the following sections.
Net
loss for the twenty-six week period ended August 28, 2010 was $270.7 million compared to the net loss of $214.5 million for the
twenty-six week period August 29, 2009. Revenues decreased due to store closures and decreases in both front-end and pharmacy same store sales, driven by the continued
recessionary environment, including the impact of high unemployment. Gross margins decreased, due primarily to pharmacy reimbursement rate pressures on prescription sales. These items are described in
detail in the following sections.

Revenues declined 2.5% and 2.7% in the thirteen week periods ended August 28, 2010 and August 29, 2009, respectively.
Revenues declined 2.3% and 2.0% in the twenty-six week periods ended August 28, 2010 and August 29, 2009, respectively. Revenue declines in the thirteen and
twenty-six week periods ended August 28, 2010 were driven by a reduction in the store base and a decline in same store sales. We operated 65 fewer stores than in the same period
last year.

Table of Contents
Pharmacy
same store sales declined by 1.8% and 1.3% in the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended August 28, 2010. Same store prescription decline was 2.1% and
1.9% in the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended August 28, 2010. The decrease was primarily driven by a same store scripts decline which was impacted by an increase in
90-day prescriptions, maturation of the Rx savings card, and cycling some H1N1 benefit in the prior year.
Front-end
same store sales decreased by 0.9% and 1.1% in the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended August 28, 2010. The decrease was largely due to
softness in our seasonal and general merchandise categories.
We
include in same store sales all stores that have been open or owned at least one year. Relocated stores are not included in the same store sales for one year. Stores in liquidation
are considered closed.

Gross margin was 26.6% for the thirteen week period ended August 28, 2010 compared to 26.7% of sales for the thirteen week
period ended August 29, 2009. The decrease in gross margin was due primarily to a reduction in pharmacy reimbursement rates, from both government and private third party payors and fewer new
generics. Furthermore, there continues to be a negative impact from the reductions in Medicaid reimbursements resulting from the AWP rollback which we will fully cycle in September. The year over year
decline in pharmacy margin as a percent of sales was approximately 0.3% better than last quarter. The pharmacy margin pressure slowed as we began to cycle the more significant reductions in maximum
allowable costs (MAC) of new generics which occurred last year. Front-end gross margin was slightly higher due to improvements in core categories, lower markdowns and high seasonal sell through,
partially offset by higher LIFO charges (discussed below) and increased deferred revenue due to the growth in membership in our wellness+ loyalty card program.
Gross
margin rate was 26.7% for the twenty-six week period ended August 28, 2010 compared to 26.9% for the twenty-six week period ended August 29,
2009. Pharmacy margin declined due to reductions in reimbursement rates that were not fully offset by the benefit of new generic drug introductions. Front-end gross margin was worse as a
result of increased deferred revenue due to the growth in membership in our wellness+ loyalty card program partially offset by improvements in markdowns.
We
use the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of inventory valuation, which is determined annually when inflation rates and inventory levels are finalized.
Therefore, LIFO costs for interim period financial statements are estimated. Cost of sales includes LIFO charges of $20.5 million and
25
Table of Contents
$41.1 million
for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended August 28, 2010 compared to LIFO charges of $14.8 million and $29.5 million for the thirteen
and twenty-six week periods ended August 29, 2009. The increased LIFO charges in the current year are due to higher expected prescription inflation rates.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
SG&A as a percentage of revenues was 26.4% in the thirteen week period ended August 28, 2010 compared to 26.0% in the thirteen
week period ended August 29, 2009. SG&A as a percentage of revenues was 25.9% in the twenty-six week period ended August 28, 2010 compared to 26.1% in the
twenty-six week period ended August 29, 2009. The increase in SG&A as a percentage of revenues for the thirteen week period is primarily due to an increase in workers' compensation
and general liability costs of $17 million and approximately $26 million of expenses related to the costs to rollout our customer loyalty card program, the expansion of our pharmacist
immunization capabilities and the shift in holiday pay expenses due to Memorial Day falling in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 versus the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The decrease in SG&A for the
twenty-six week period is due primarily to decreases in salaries and benefit costs due to better labor control, lower depreciation and amortization and the elimination of the receivables
securitization costs in the current fiscal year.

Impairment Charges: Impairment charges include non-cash charges of $1.3 million and $2.0 million in the thirteen week
periods ended August 28, 2010 and August 29, 2009, respectively, for the impairment of long-lived assets at seven stores in each fiscal quarter. Impairment charges include
non-cash charges of $2.5 million and $5.5 million for the twenty-six week periods ended August 28, 2010 and August 29, 2009, respectively, for the
impairment of long-lived assets at 23 and 30 stores, respectively. These amounts include the write-down of long-lived assets at stores that were assessed for
impairment because of management's intention to relocate or close the store or because of changes in circumstances that indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable.
Facility and Equipment Lease Exit Charges: During the thirteen week periods ended August 28, 2010 and August 29, 2009, we
recorded
charges for 12 and 20 stores, respectively, to be closed or relocated under long-term leases. During the twenty-six week periods ended August 28, 2010 and
August 29, 2009, we recorded charges for 20 and 84 stores, respectively, to be closed or relocated under long-term leases. Charges to close a store, which principally consist of
lease termination costs, are recorded at the time the store is closed and all inventory is liquidated. We calculate our liability for closed stores on a store-by-store basis.
The calculation includes the discounted effect of future minimum lease payments and related ancillary costs, from the date of closure to the end of the remaining lease term, net of estimated cost
recoveries that may be achieved through subletting properties or through favorable lease terminations. We evaluate these assumptions each quarter and adjust the liability accordingly. The decrease in
the facility and equipment lease exit charge for the
26
Table of Contents
twenty-six
week period ended August 28, 2010 is primarily due to a lower number of stores closed during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 as compared to fiscal 2010.
As
part of our ongoing business activities, we assess stores for potential closure. Decisions to close stores in future periods would result in charges for store lease exit costs and
liquidation of inventory, as well as impairment of assets at these stores.
Interest expense was $139.7 million and $281.3 million for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended
August 28, 2010, compared to $128.8 million and $238.3 million for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended August 29, 2009. The increase in interest
expense for the twenty-six week period ended August 28, 2010 was primarily due to the refinancing of our senior credit facility and elimination of our securitization facilities
during our last fiscal year. The weighted average interest rates on our indebtedness for the twenty-six week period ended August 28, 2010 and August 29, 2009 were 7.5% and
6.8%, respectively. The refinancing that occurred during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 is expected to reduce our interest expense by approximately $13 million per year.
We recorded an income tax expense of $2.8 million and $4.0 million for the thirteen week periods and $10.0 million
and $9.3 million for the twenty-six week periods ended August 28, 2010 and August 29, 2009, respectively. The income tax expense for the thirteen and
twenty-six week periods ended August 28, 2010 is primarily due to the need for an accrual of additional state taxes resulting from the receipt of a final audit determination and
adjustments to unrecognized tax benefits. The income tax expense for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended August 29, 2009 is primarily attributable to the accrual of state
and local taxes and adjustments to unrecognized tax benefits.
We
recognize tax liabilities in accordance with the guidance for uncertain tax positions and management adjusts these liabilities with changes in judgment as a result of the evaluation
of new information not previously available. Due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from the current
estimate of the tax liabilities.
We
evaluate our deferred tax assets on a regular basis to determine if a valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets is required. A cumulative loss in recent years is
significant negative evidence in considering whether deferred tax assets are realizable. Based on the negative evidence, we are precluded from relying on projections of future taxable income to
support the recognition of deferred tax assets. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the existence of sufficient taxable income generated in the carryforward periods.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have three primary sources of liquidity: (i) cash and cash equivalents, (ii) cash provided by operating activities and
(iii) borrowings under the revolving credit facility under our senior secured credit facility. Our principal uses of cash are to provide working capital for operations, to service our
obligations to pay scheduled interest and principal on debt, to fund capital expenditures and to provide funds for the voluntary repurchase of debt. Total liquidity at August 28, 2010, was
$1.082 billion which consisted of revolver borrowing capacity of $1.032 billion and invested cash of $50.6 million.
27
Table of Contents
In August 2010, we repaid all borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility due September 2012 and cancelled all of our
commitments thereunder and replaced such facility with a new $1.175 billion revolving credit facility (the "New Revolver") due 2015 (or such earlier date as noted below). We also repaid and
retired all borrowings and accrued interest due under our $647.7 million Tranche 4 Term Loan due June 2015. We financed these repayments with the net proceeds from an issuance of
$650.0 million of new 8.00% Senior Secured Notes due August 2020 (collectively, the "Refinancing"), together with cash on hand. The prepayment of the Tranche 4 Term Loan occurred prior
to the second anniversary of the borrowing and therefore a 3.0% penalty of the principal amount outstanding was paid totaling $19.4 million which is included in the loss on debt modifications.
The loss on debt modifications and retirements also included the write-off of debt issue costs of $13.1 million and net unamortized original issuance discounts of
$11.4 million. Additionally, we incurred fees and expenses of $34.0 million to consummate the Refinancing, which are being deferred and amortized over the terms of the related debt
instruments.
We
entered into these refinancing transactions to extend maturities and to lower interest expense. As part of the Refinancing, we also entered into amendments to make certain other
changes to our senior secured credit facility, including a revision to the fixed charge coverage ratio test and to permit the mandatory repurchase of our outstanding 8.5% convertible notes due 2015.
These amendments give us the ability to consummate a mandatory repurchase of the 8.5% convertible notes due 2015, so long as, before and after such transaction, no default or event of default shall
have occurred and be continuing under our senior secured credit facility and there is more than $100.0 million of availability under the new revolving credit facility.
Borrowings under the New Revolver bear interest at LIBOR plus 3.50%, if we choose to make LIBOR borrowings, or at Citibank's base rate
plus 2.50%. After November 27, 2010, the interest rate can fluctuate between LIBOR plus 3.25% and LIBOR plus 3.75%, if we choose
to make LIBOR borrowings, or between Citibank's base rate plus 2.25% and Citibank's base rate plus 2.75%, based upon the amount of revolver availability, as defined in the senior secured credit
facility. We are required to pay fees between 0.50% and 0.75% per annum on the daily unused amount of the new revolving credit facility, depending on the amount of revolver availability. Amounts drawn
under the New Revolver become due and payable on August 19, 2015, provided that such maturity date shall instead be April 18, 2014 in the event that on or prior to April 18, 2014
we do not repay, refinance or otherwise extend the maturity date of our existing term loans to a date that is at least 90 days after August 19, 2015 and, in the case of a repayment or
refinancing, we must have at least $500.0 million of availability under the New Revolver.
Our
ability to borrow under the New Revolver is based upon a specified borrowing base consisting of accounts receivable, inventory and prescription files. As a result, decreases in the
value of the collateral could result in a reduction of availability under the New Revolver. At August 28, 2010, we had no borrowings outstanding under the New Revolver and had letters of credit
outstanding thereunder of $143.3 million which gave us additional borrowing capacity of $1.032 billion.
On
June 4, 2007, we amended our senior secured credit facility to establish a new senior secured term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $1.105 billion and borrowed
the full amount thereunder. A portion of the proceeds from the borrowings under this senior secured term loan (the "Tranche 2 Term Loan") were used to fund the acquisition of Brooks Eckerd. The
Tranche 2 Term Loan will mature on June 4, 2014 and currently bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.75%, if we choose to make LIBOR borrowings, or at Citibank's base rate plus 0.75%. We must
make mandatory prepayments of the Tranche 2 Term Loan with the proceeds of asset dispositions (subject to certain
28
Table of Contents
limitations),
with a portion of any excess cash flow generated by us (as defined in the senior secured credit facility) and with the proceeds of certain issuances of equity and debt (subject to
certain exceptions). If at any time total debt outstanding under the senior secured credit facility exceeds the borrowing base, prepayment of the Tranche 2 Term Loan may also be required.
In
July 2008, we issued a senior secured term loan (the "Tranche 3 Term Loan") of $350.0 million under our existing senior secured credit facility. The Tranche 3
Term Loan was issued at a discount of 90% of par. The Tranche 3 Term Loan matures on June 4, 2014 and bears interest at LIBOR (with a minimum LIBOR rate of 3.00%) plus 3.00%, if we
choose to make LIBOR borrowings, or at Citibank's base rate (with a minimum base rate of 4.00%) plus 2.00%. We must make mandatory prepayments of the Tranche 3 Term Loan with the proceeds of
asset dispositions (subject to certain limitations), with a portion of any excess cash flow generated by us (as defined in the senior secured credit facility) and with the proceeds of certain
issuances of equity and debt (subject to certain exceptions). If at any time total debt outstanding under the senior secured credit facility exceeds the borrowing base, prepayment of the
Tranche 3 Term Loan may also be required.
The
senior secured credit facility restricts us and the subsidiary guarantors from accumulating cash on hand in excess of $200.0 million at any time when revolving loans are
outstanding (not including cash
located in our store deposit accounts, cash necessary to cover our current liabilities and certain other exceptions) and from accumulating cash on hand with revolver borrowings in excess of
$100.0 million over three consecutive business days. The senior secured credit facility also states that if at any time (other than following the exercise of remedies or acceleration of any
senior obligations or second priority debt and receipt of a triggering notice by the senior collateral agent from a representative of the senior obligations or the second priority debt) either
(a) an event of default exists under our senior secured credit facility or (b) the sum of revolver availability under our senior secured credit facility and certain amounts held on
deposit with the senior collateral agent in a concentration account is less than $100.0 million for three consecutive business days (a "cash sweep
period"), the funds in our deposit accounts will be swept to a concentration account with the senior collateral agent and will be applied first to repay outstanding revolving
loans under the senior secured credit facility, and then held as collateral for the senior obligations until such cash sweep period is rescinded pursuant to the terms of our senior secured credit
facility.
The
senior secured credit facility allows us to have outstanding, at any time, up to $1.5 billion in secured second priority debt and unsecured debt in addition to borrowings
under the senior secured credit facility and existing indebtedness, provided that not in excess of $750.0 million of such secured second priority debt and unsecured debt shall mature or require
scheduled payments of principal prior to three months after June 4, 2014. The senior secured credit facility allows us to incur an unlimited amount of unsecured debt with a maturity beyond
three months after June 4, 2014; however other outstanding indebtedness limits the amount of unsecured debt that can be incurred if certain interest coverage levels are not met at the time of
incurrence of said debt. The senior secured facility also allows, so long as the senior secured credit facility is not in default, for the repurchase of any debt with a maturity on or before
June 4, 2014 and for the voluntary repurchase of debt with a maturity after June 4, 2014 and the mandatory repurchase of our 8.5% convertible notes due 2015 if we maintain availability
on the revolving credit facility of at least $100.0 million.
Our
senior secured credit facility contains covenants, which place restrictions on the incurrence of debt beyond the restrictions described above, the payment of dividends, sale of
assets, mergers and acquisitions and the granting of liens. Our credit facility has a financial covenant which is the maintenance of a fixed charge coverage ratio. The covenant requires that, if
availability on the revolving credit facility is less than $150.0 million, we maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 0.95 to 1.00 for the second and third quarters of fiscal 2011,
which increases to 1.00 for the following four quarters and increases to 1.05 thereafter. As of August 28, 2010, we had availability under the
29
Table of Contents
New
Revolver of $1.032 billion and were in compliance with the senior secured credit facility's financial covenant.
Our
senior secured credit facility provides for events of default including nonpayment, misrepresentation, breach of covenants and bankruptcy. It is also an event of default if we fail
to make any required payment on debt having a principal amount in excess of $50.0 million or any event occurs that enables, or which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time would enable,
the holder of such debt to accelerate the maturity or require the repurchase of such debt. The August 2010 amendments
to the senior secured credit facility exclude the mandatory repurchase of the 8.5% convertible notes due 2015 (the "Convertible Notes") from this event of default.
In August 2010, as part of the Refinancing, we issued $650.0 million of 8.00% senior secured notes, due August 15, 2020.
These notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of Rite Aid Corporation and rank equally in right of payment with all other unsubordinated indebtedness. Our obligations under these notes are
guaranteed, subject to certain limitations, by the same subsidiaries that guarantee the obligations under the senior secured credit facility. These guarantees are shared, on a senior basis, with debt
outstanding under the senior secured credit facility and the 9.75% senior secured notes due 2016. The indenture that governs the 8.00% notes contains covenant provisions that, among other things,
allow the holders of the notes to participate along with the term loan holders in the mandatory prepayments resulting from the proceeds of certain asset dispositions (at the option of the noteholder)
and include limitations on our ability to pay dividends, make investments or other restricted payments, incur debt, grant liens, sell assets and enter into sale-leaseback transactions.
In
July 2010, we repurchased $93.8 million of our $158.0 million outstanding Convertible Notes with cash on hand. Our remaining Convertible Notes require that we maintain
listing on the NYSE or certain other exchanges. In the event of a NYSE delisting, holders of these notes could require us to repurchase them. We have received a notice of non-compliance
from the NYSE because the price of our common stock has fallen below the NYSE's minimum share price rule. Per NYSE rules, we have six months from the receipt of the notice to regain compliance or
until our next annual stockholder's meeting in June 2011 if we choose an action that needs stockholder approval to cure the minimum share price deficiency. Our Board of Directors has approved a
reverse stock split of our common stock, subject to stockholder approval, if such a split is necessary to cure the minimum share price deficiency. During this period, our stock continues to be listed
on the NYSE and trade as usual. We are in compliance with all other listing rules.
The
indentures that govern our secured and guaranteed unsecured notes contain restrictions on the amount of additional secured and unsecured debt that can be incurred by us. As of
August 28, 2010, the amount of additional secured and unsecured debt that could be incurred under these indentures was $1.1 billion (which does not include the ability to enter into
certain sale and leaseback transactions or incur debt under the interest coverage ratio test). However, we could not incur any additional secured debt assuming a fully drawn revolver and the
outstanding letters of credit. The ability to issue additional unsecured debt under these indentures is subject to an interest coverage ratio test.
During the twenty-six week period ended August 28, 2010 we had no sale leaseback transactions.
During
the twenty-six week period ended August 29, 2009 we sold two owned stores to independent third parties. Net proceeds from these sales were $6.5 million.
Concurrent with these sales, we entered into agreements to lease the stores back from the purchasers over minimum lease terms of 10 years. We accounted for both of these leases as operating
leases. Gains on these transactions of $5.3 million have been deferred and are being recorded over the related minimum lease terms.

Net Cash Provided by/Used in Operating, Investing and Financing Activities
Cash flow provided by operating activities was $513.8 million and $210.7 million in the twenty-six week
periods ended August 28, 2010 and August 29, 2009, respectively. Cash flow was positively impacted by an increase in accounts payable due to the timing of purchases as well as rent,
pension funding and interest payments. Additionally reductions in accounts receivables are no longer offset by repayments to the receivables securitization facility which was eliminated in the third
quarter of fiscal 2010.
Cash
used in investing activities was $73.8 million and $42.4 million for the twenty-six week periods ended August 28, 2010 and August 29, 2009,
respectively. Cash used for the purchase of property, plant, equipment and prescription files is flat compared to prior year however proceeds from the sale of assets were significantly lower in the
current year.
Cash
used in financing activities was $411.2 million and $199.4 million for the twenty-six week periods ended August 28, 2010 and August 29, 2009,
respectively. Cash used in financing activities for the twenty-six weeks ended August 28, 2010 was primarily due to the refinancing activity that occurred during the second quarter
of fiscal 2011, the repurchase of $93.8 million of the
Convertible Notes, other scheduled debt repayments, and the significant decrease in our zero balance cash accounts.
During the twenty-six week period ended August 28, 2010, we spent $82.7 million on capital expenditures,
consisting of $24.2 million related to new store construction, store relocation and store remodel projects, $48.4 million related to backstage, infrastructure and maintenance
requirements, and $10.1 million related to the purchase of prescription files from independent pharmacists. We plan on making total capital expenditures of approximately $250 million
during fiscal 2011, consisting of approximately 33% related to new store construction, store relocation and remodels, 47% related to backstage, infrastructure and maintenance requirements and 20%
related to prescription file purchases. Management expects that these capital expenditures will be financed primarily with cash flow from operating activities.
We are highly leveraged. Our high level of indebtedness: (i) limits our ability to obtain additional financing;
(ii) limits our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry; (iii) places us at a competitive disadvantage relative to our competitors with less
debt; (iv) renders us more vulnerable to general adverse economic and industry conditions; and (v) requires us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow to service our debt.
Based upon our current levels of operations and planned improvements in our operating performance, we believe that cash flow from operations together with available borrowings under the senior secured
credit facility, and other sources of liquidity will be adequate to meet our requirements for working capital, debt service and capital expenditures for the next twelve months. We will continue to
assess our liquidity position and potential sources of supplemental liquidity in light of our operating performance, and other relevant circumstances. Should we determine, at any time, that it is
necessary to obtain additional short-term liquidity, we will evaluate our alternatives and take appropriate steps to obtain sufficient additional funds. There can be no assurance that any
such supplemental funding, if sought, could be obtained or if obtained, would be on terms acceptable to us. From time to time, we may enter into transactions to exchange debt for shares of common
stock to reduce our outstanding debt and voluntarily repurchase debt.

Adjusted EBITDA
In addition to net income determined in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP measures, such as "Adjusted EBITDA",
in assessing our operating performance. We believe the non-GAAP measure serves as an appropriate measure to be used in evaluating the performance of our business. We define Adjusted EBITDA
as net loss excluding the impact of income taxes, interest expense and securitization costs, depreciation and amortization, LIFO adjustments, charges or credits for facility closing and impairment,
inventory write-down liquidation expenses, stock-based compensation expense, debt modifications and retirements, sale of assets and investments, revenue deferrals related to our customer
loyalty card programs, and other items. We reference this non-GAAP financial measure frequently in our decision-making because it provides supplemental information that facilitates
internal comparisons to the historical operating performance of prior periods and external comparisons to competitors' historical operating performance and gives a better indication of our core
operating performance. In addition, we base incentive compensation and our forward-looking estimates on Adjusted EBITDA to facilitate quantification of planned business activities and enhance
subsequent follow-up. We include this non-GAAP financial measure in our earnings announcement and guidance in order to provide transparency to our investors and enable
investors to better compare our operating performance with the operating performance of our competitors. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA also facilitates comparisons of our results of
operations with those of our competitors having different capital structures. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, and is not intended to represent an alternative measure of,
operating results or of cash flows
from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our future earnings, cash flow and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevalent market rates. Market risk
is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. Our major market risk exposure is changing interest rates. Increases in interest rates would increase our interest
expense. We enter into debt obligations to support capital expenditures, acquisitions, working capital needs and general corporate purposes. Our policy is to manage interest rates through the use of a
combination of variable-rate credit facilities, fixed-rate long-term obligations and derivative transactions. We currently do not have any derivative transactions
outstanding.
The
table below provides information about our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. The table presents principal payments and the related weighted
average interest rates by expected maturity dates for each fiscal year as of August 28, 2010.

As of September 27, 2010, 23.2% of our total debt is exposed to fluctuations in variable interest rates. The interest rate on our variable
rate borrowings, which include our revolving credit facility, our Tranche 2 Term loan and Tranche 3 Term loan, are all based on LIBOR. However, the interest rate on the Tranche 3
Term loan has a LIBOR floor of 300 basis points.

Our
ability to satisfy interest payment obligations on our outstanding debt will depend largely on our future performance, which, in turn, is subject to prevailing economic conditions
and to financial, business and other factors beyond our control. If we do not have sufficient cash flow to service our interest payment obligations on our outstanding indebtedness and if we cannot
borrow or obtain equity financing to satisfy those obligations, our business and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. We cannot assure you that any such borrowing or equity
financing could be successfully completed.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
- (a)
- Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our
management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is
defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
- (b)
- Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the
Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
See Item 3 to Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 27, 2010 relating to
material pending legal proceedings. Set forth below is a summary of material developments involving material legal proceedings that occurred subsequent to the filing of our fiscal 2010
Form 10-K.
- 1.
- In
connection with the Craig action, approximately 1,100 current and former assistant store managers (out of
approximately 6,700 current and former assistant store managers comprising the purported collective group) have joined the Craig action.
- 2.
- In
connection with the Indergit action, approximately 1,550 current and former assistant store managers (out
of approximately 7,000 current and former assistant store managers comprising the purported collective group) have joined the Indergit action.
- 3.
- The
Company was served with a United States Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General ("OIG") Subpoena dated March 5,
2010 in connection with an investigation being conducted by the OIG, the United States Attorney's Office for the Central District of California and the United States Department of Justice Commercial
Litigation Branch. The subpoena requests records related to any gift card or similar programs for customers who transferred prescriptions for drugs or medicines to the Company's pharmacies, and
whether any customers who receive federally funded prescription benefits (e.g. Medicare and Medicaid) may have benefited from those programs. The Company is in the process of producing records
in response to the subpoena and is unable to predict with certainty the timing or outcome of the investigation.
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
Refer to "Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended
February 27, 2010, in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the thirteen week period ended May 29, 2010 which could materially affect our business, financial condition
or future results.
If we do not meet the New York Stock Exchange continued listing requirements, our common stock may be delisted. Upon such event, we may be required to repurchase or
refinance our Convertible Notes.
The Company's Board of Directors has approved a reverse stock split of the Company's common stock, subject to stockholder approval, if
such a split is necessary to cure the minimum share price deficiency. The objective of a reverse stock split would be to ensure that we
regain compliance with the NYSE's minimum share price rule and maintain our listing on the NYSE. Per the NYSE rules, we are required to bring our closing share price and average closing share price
for a 30 trading-day period back above $1.00 within six months following the notification. We can cure our share price deficiency by attaining a closing share price and average closing
share price for a trailing 30 trading-day period on the last trading day of any calendar month during the cure period or on the last day of the cure period. If we opt to cure the price
condition by taking action that will require a stockholder vote, such as a reverse stock split, the NYSE will generally permit us to wait until our next annual meeting, even if such meeting occurs
after the expiration of the six-month period. Our average closing share price over the 30 consecutive trading-day period ended September 27, 2010, was $0.96. We intend
to seek stockholder approval for the reverse stock split at or prior to our next annual meeting of stockholders, if necessary to bring our share price over $1.00 and to cure the share price
deficiency. The terms of the reverse stock split, including selection of appropriate reverse split ratios and setting the date for the meeting of stockholders, will be determined at a later date by
our Board of Directors. The Board of Directors will base its decision regarding the reverse stock split upon its evaluation of when, and on what terms, such action would be most advantageous to us and
our stockholders. Our common stock continues to be listed on the NYSE and trade as usual.

We
are in compliance with all other NYSE listing rules, have actively been taking steps to maintain our listing and expect our efforts will be successful. However, there can be no
assurance that we will regain or maintain compliance with the NYSE continued listing requirements. If our common stock is not listed on the NYSE or another national exchange, holders of our
$64.2 million of outstanding Convertible Notes would be entitled to require us to repurchase their Convertible Notes. Our senior credit facility permits us to make such a repurchase the
Convertible Notes; provided that, before and after such transaction, no default or event of default shall have occurred and be continuing under the senior credit facility and we have at least
$100.0 million of availability under our revolving credit facility. Our ability to pay cash to holders of the Convertible Notes may be limited by our financial resources at the time of such
repurchase. We cannot assure you that sufficient funds will be available on terms acceptable to us if necessary to make any required repurchase of the Convertible Notes.
