UNI-MARTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

A.    FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

The consolidated balance sheet as of January 2, 2003, the consolidated statements of operations
and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the quarters ended January 2, 2003 and
January 3, 2002, respectively, have been prepared by Uni-Marts, Inc. (the "Company") without
audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at January 2,
2003 and the results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have
been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002. Certain reclassifications have
been made to the September 30, 2002 financial statements to conform to classifications used in
fiscal year 2003. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be obtained for the full year.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company increased its valuation allowance against the
deferred tax asset because it has been determined that it is more likely than not that the Company
will not be able to utilize the Net Operating Loss carryforwards ("NOL's"). The increase in
reserve has resulted in a 5% tax benefit in the first quarter of fiscal 2003.

B.    FUTURE OPERATIONS:

The Company continues to evaluate existing stores based on their historical contribution. The
Company will consider closing underperforming stores or investing in facility upgrades to
enhance their performance. The Company retained financial advisors in fiscal year 2002, and
entered into a new contractual arrangement with one of these financial advisors in January 2003,
to evaluate operating strategies which included the potential divestiture of certain store locations
and non-operating assets. As a result of its analysis with its financial advisor, the Company
intends to intensify its divestiture strategy. The Company is currently working with its financial
advisor to assist in negotiations with its lenders to facilitate this divestiture program.

Management believes that cash from operations, available credit facilities and asset sales will be
sufficient to meet the Company's obligations for the foreseeable future. In the event that the
Company is unable to amend covenants under its revolving credit agreement (See Note D), obtain
required consents from its lenders to permit the sales of various store locations, or consummate
proposed asset sales, on acceptable terms, there is a risk that the Company will not be able to meet
future cash obligations. There can be no assurance that the Company's lenders will cooperate with
the Company's efforts to pay down debt through the divestiture of assets.

=====

   

=====

Goodwill represents the excess of costs over the fair value of net assets acquired in business
combinations. As discussed within this report under "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Critical Accounting Policies and
Estimates," the Company will complete an impairment analysis during the second quarter of fiscal
2003 and anticipates that the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 142 could result in a material write-off of goodwill. Lease acquisition costs are the
bargain element of acquired leases and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the related
lease terms.

The Company's adoption of SFAS No. 142 eliminates the amortization of goodwill beginning in
the first quarter of fiscal 2003 (see Note G). Goodwill amortization in the first quarter of fiscal
2002 was $96,600, or $0.01 per share. The following table adjusts net earnings (loss) and net
earnings (loss) per share for the adoption of SFAS No. 142 (in thousands, except per share data):

D.    REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT:

On April 20, 2000, the Company executed a 3-year secured $10.0 million revolving credit
agreement (the "Agreement") with $3.5 million available for letters of credit. Provisions of the
Agreement require the maintenance of certain covenants relating to minimum tangible net worth,
interest and fixed-charge coverage ratios, as measured on a quarterly basis. In addition, the
Agreement places limitations on capital expenditures, additional debt and payment of dividends.
In the second quarter of fiscal year 2001, the Agreement was amended to increase the total credit
line to $13.0 million, with $3.5 million available for letters of credit, and to amend certain
financial covenants. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2002, the Agreement was amended to
extend the maturity date to April 20, 2004, to amend certain covenants and to provide an
additional $2.0 million for borrowing on a seasonal basis for the months January through April.
As of September 30, 2002, the Agreement was amended to revise covenants relating to fixed-
charge coverage and interest coverage ratios for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2002 and the first
quarter of fiscal year 2003. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of January
2, 2003. However, the Company does not expect to be in compliance with the fixed charge and
interest coverage covenants as of the end of its 2003 second fiscal quarter, unless it is successful
in negotiating amendments to these covenants. The Company and the bank are currently
evaluating revisions to the fixed-charge coverage covenant and interest coverage covenant levels
for the second, third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2003 that will be consistent with the
Company's strategic course. While the bank has given indications that it intends to renegotiate, in
good faith, revisions to the Agreement that may be necessary, there can be no assurance that such
revisions will be agreed to or that the Company will be in compliance with the existing or
amended covenants under the Agreement during the remainder of fiscal year 2003. Borrowings of
$9.2 million and letters of credit of $3.2 million were outstanding under the Agreement at January
2, 2003. The $9.2 million borrowing has been classified as a current liability since the interest
and fixed-charge coverage ratios have been amended only through the first quarter of fiscal year
2003. This facility bears interest at the Company's option based on a rate of either prime plus
1.0% or LIBOR plus 3.0%. The blended interest rate at January 2, 2003 was 4.9%. The
Agreement is collateralized by substantially all of the Company's inventories, receivables, other
personal property and selected real properties. At January 2, 2003, the net book value of these
selected real properties that are pledged as collateral was $2.5 million.

F.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

Certain directors and officers of the Company are also directors, officers or controlling
shareholders of other entities from which the Company leases its corporate headquarters and
various store and other locations under agreements classified as operating leases. In addition, the
Company leases store locations from entities controlled by, or from persons related to, certain
directors and officers of the Company. Aggregate rentals in connection with all such leases for
the quarters ended January 2, 2003 and January 3, 2002 were $370,100 and $231,900,
respectively.

The Company charges an affiliate for general and administrative services provided. Such charges
amounted to $2,800 and $2,800 in the quarters ended January 2, 2003 and January 3, 2002,
respectively.

During the first quarters of fiscal years 2003 and 2002, the Company made payments of
$0 and $19,800, respectively, to a director of the Company for consulting fees and
reimbursement of expenses.

G.   RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," which requires that such assets with indefinite lives not
be amortized but be tested annually for impairment and provides specific guidance for such
testing. This statement also requires disclosure of information regarding goodwill and other assets
that was previously not required. The Company has discontinued the amortization of goodwill as
of October 1, 2002 and will finish its impairment test during the second fiscal quarter. The
Company believes that it could write-off its total goodwill balance of $5,857,000.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 143, " Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," effective
for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2003. Under the statement's provisions, (1) entities must
record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is
incurred, (2) when the liability is initially recorded, the entity must capitalize a cost by increasing
the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset, (3) over time, the liability is accreted to its
present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related
asset and (4) upon settlement of the liability, the entity either settles the obligation for its recorded
amount or incurs a gain or loss upon settlement. There was no impact on the Company's
consolidated financial position or results of operations as a result of the adoption of SFAS No.
143.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-
Lived Assets," effective October 1, 2002. SFAS No. 144 addressed the financial accounting and
reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. There was no impact on the
Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations as a result of the adoption of
SFAS No. 144.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64,
Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections," effective October 1, 2002.
SFAS No. 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt,"
and an amendment of that Statement, and SFAS No. 64, "Accounting for Leases," to eliminate an
inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required
accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-
leaseback transactions. SFAS No. 145 also amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to
make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed
conditions. There was no impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of
operations as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 145.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal
Activities," effective January 1, 2003. SFAS No. 146 requires companies to recognize costs
associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a
commitment to an exit or disposal plan. Previous accounting guidance was provided by EITF No.
94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit
an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring),"which required that a liability
for costs associated with an exit plan or disposal activity be recognized at the date of an entity's
commitment to an exit plan. There was no impact on the Company's consolidated financial
position or results of operations as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 146.

PAGE 14

G.   RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED):

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
- - Transition and Disclosure - an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123." SFAS No. 148
amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative
methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for
stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure
requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim
financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and
the effect of the method used on reported results. The disclosure requirements apply to all
companies for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The interim disclosure provisions are
effective for financial reports containing financial statements for interim periods beginning after
December 15, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 148 is not expected to have a material impact on
the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In September 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") released Issue No. 02-16,
"Accounting by a Reseller for Cash Consideration Received from a Vendor," which has two parts.
The first part of the pronouncement requires that vendor allowances be categorized as a reduction
of cost of sales unless they are a reimbursement of costs incurred to sell the vendor's products, in
which case, the cash consideration should be characterized as a reduction of that cost. If the
amount of cash consideration paid by a vendor exceeds the estimated fair value of the benefit
received, that excess should be characterized as a reduction of the cost of sales when recognized in
the customer's income statement. This portion of the pronouncement must be implemented by
fiscal 2004.

The second part of the pronouncement requires that rebates or refunds that are payable only if the
customer completes a specified cumulative level of purchases should be recognized as a reduction
of cost of sales based on a systematic and rational allocation over the purchase period. This
portion of the pronouncement must be implemented by the second quarter of fiscal 2003.

The Company believes it is currently in compliance with EITF No. 02-16 and does not expect the
adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In November of 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation ("FIN") No. 45, "Guarantor's
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees Including Indirect Guarantees of
Indebtedness of Others." FIN No. 45 requires entities to establish liabilities for certain types of
guarantees, and expands financial statement disclosures for others. The accounting requirements
of FIN No. 45 are effective for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002, and the
disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending
after December 15, 2002. There was no impact on the Company's consolidated financial position
or results of operations as a result of the adoption of FIN No. 45.

I.     CHANGES IN SECURITIES:

On February 6, 2002, the Company adopted a shareholder rights plan and declared a dividend
distribution of one Common Stock Purchase Right on each outstanding share of its common stock.
Pursuant to the rights plan, the Company distributed to all shareholders of record on February 19,
2002, as a dividend on each outstanding share of common stock, a right to purchase two-thirds of
a share of common stock for a purchase price of $10.67. The rights, however, are exercisable
(subject to limited grandfathering provisions for certain shareholders who currently beneficially
own more than 15% of the Company's stock) only if: (1) a person or group acquires 15% or more
of the Company's common stock, other than through an offer for all shares of the common stock at
a price and on terms determined by the Board of Directors to be fair to all shareholders, or (2) a
person or group commences a tender or exchange offer for 15% or more of the Company's
common stock. If the rights become exercisable, the rights will be modified automatically to
entitle the rightholders (other than the acquiring person or group) to purchase shares of the
Company's common stock at a 50% discount from the then market value. In addition, if the
Company is acquired in a merger or other transaction after such person or group has acquired a
15% common stock interest, the rightholders (other than such person or group) will be entitled to
purchase shares of common stock of the surviving company at the same discount from market
value. Initially, the rights will be represented by existing Uni-Marts stock certificates. Should the
rights become exercisable, the Company will issue separate rights certificates to all holders. Uni-
Marts can redeem the rights at any time before (but not after) a person or group has acquired 15%
or more of the Company's common stock as described above. If not redeemed prior to January 31,
2012, the rights will expire on that date. Terms of the Shareholder Rights Plan are set forth in a
Rights Agreement dated as of February 6, 2002 between the Company and Mellon Investor
Services LLC, as Rights Agent, which was filed as an exhibit to an amendment to the Registration
Statement on Form 8-A pursuant to which the Company's common stock, par value $0.10, is
registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

Risks That Could Affect Future Results

A number of the matters and subject areas discussed in this Item 2 "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q that are
not historical or current facts, including statements regarding the Company's plans and strategies or
future financial performance, deal with potential future circumstances and developments. These
forward-looking statements frequently can be identified by the use of terminology such as "believes,"
"expects," "may," "will," "should" or "anticipates" (or the negative or other variations thereof) or
comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy that involve risks and uncertainties. Although
the Company believes that its expectations are based on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of
its knowledge, investors and prospective investors are cautioned that such statements are only
projections and that actual events or results may differ materially from those expressed in any such
forward-looking statements. In addition to other factors described elsewhere in this report, the
Company's actual consolidated quarterly or annual operating results have been affected in the past, or
could be affected in the future, by factors, including, without limitation, general economic, business
and market conditions; environmental, tax and tobacco legislation or regulation; volatility of gasoline
prices, margins and supplies; competition and ability to maintain merchandising margins; the ability to
obtain required consents from lenders and otherwise successfully consummate the Company's
divestiture program; the ability to renegotiate the Company's revolving credit agreement; the
sufficiency of cash balances, cash from operations and cash from asset sales to meet future cash
obligations; volume of customer traffic; weather conditions; labor costs; and the level of capital
expenditures.

Overview

Matters discussed below should be read in conjunction with "Operating Data (Retail Locations Only)"
on the preceding page.

In the last twelve months, the Company continued its store evaluation and strategic initiative program.
During that period, two convenience stores and one Choice Cigarette Discount Outlet ("Choice") were
closed, two convenience stores were sold, and one non-operating location was sold. The Company
also constructed two Choice stores during this period.

From April 2002 until December 2002, the Company had retained financial advisors to assist in the
exploration and evaluation of all of its strategic alternatives to enhance stockholder value. As a result
of its analysis with its financial advisors, the Company intends to intensify a divestiture strategy of
certain underperforming store locations and non-operating assets. In January 2003, the Company
entered into a new financial advisory agreement with one of these financial advisors to assist in
negotiations with the Company's debt holders to permit the Company's ongoing divestiture plan. If the
disposition of assets is successful and is in excess of certain amounts, the Company's executive officers
will be eligible to receive bonuses pursuant to a Transaction Success Bonus Plan adopted by the
Company. The aggregate amount of such bonuses will be based upon the total consideration received
for such assets. If the Company is unsuccessful in consummating its disposition strategy, whether due
to lack of cooperation from its lenders or otherwise, the Company could encounter liquidity problems
during fiscal year 2003. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources."

PAGE 19

Quarters Ended January 2, 2003 and January 3, 2002

At January 2, 2003, the Company operated 298 stores, which were comprised of 230 Uni-Mart
convenience stores and 68 Choice stores. Of these locations, four were franchised and 239 offered
self-service gasoline. The Company had four less convenience stores and one additional Choice store
in operation in the fiscal quarter ended January 2, 2003 compared to the quarter ended January 3, 2002.

For the first quarter of fiscal 2003, total revenues were $109.9 million, an increase of $10.9 million, or
11.0%, compared to total revenues of $99.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The growth in
revenues was primarily due to a $10.6 million increase in gasoline sales due to a 23.5 cent per gallon,
or 25.1%, increase in the average retail price per gallon of petroleum sold in the Company's market
area in comparison to the first quarter of fiscal 2002. Gasoline sales were $52.9 million, or 25.0%
higher than gasoline sales of $42.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. Merchandise sales
increased by $300 thousand, to $56.6 million, from $56.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002.
The addition of the Power Ball lottery game in Pennsylvania, as well as higher retail cigarette prices,
contributed to higher merchandise sales levels in the first quarter of fiscal 2003; however, these sales
increases were offset by fewer stores and fewer branded fast-food units in operation during this period.
At comparable stores, merchandise sales increased by 1.3%, while gasoline gallons sold were relatively
flat, from fiscal 2002 first quarter levels. Other income was $465 thousand, an increase of 5.6% when
compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2002.

Gross profits on merchandise sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 declined by $400 thousand, or
2.0%, to $17.4 million, compared to $17.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The merchandise
gross profit rate declined by 0.8% in the current fiscal quarter due in part to fewer branded fast-food
units in operation in the Company's stores. Gross profits on gasoline sales declined by $100 thousand,
or 2.6%, to $4.6 million in the current fiscal quarter compared to $4.7 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 2002. Gasoline gallons sold declined by less than 1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2003, while
gross profits per gallon sold were relatively the same as the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The Company
maintained relatively the same level of gasoline gross margins per gallon sold in the current fiscal
quarter in response to competitive petroleum market conditions in its market area, while gasoline
gallons sold declined slightly as higher retail petroleum prices negatively affected consumer usage.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2003, selling expense increased by $400 thousand, or 2.6%, to $17.4
million, compared to $17.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002, due to slight increases in credit
card fees resulting from higher retail petroleum prices and a full year of equipment rent expense for
leases which were added in fiscal 2002. General and administrative expense was unchanged at $1.9
million for the comparable periods as increased legal and professional fees, primarily the result of the
Company's initiatives with its financial advisors and an increase in audit fees, were offset by a
reduction in the number of employees in the current fiscal quarter compared to the first quarter of fiscal
2002. Depreciation and amortization expense declined by $100 thousand, or 5.3%, to $1.9 million
from $2.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002, as the result of fewer new equipment installations
in comparison to the activity in the prior year's first fiscal quarter. Lower interest rates resulted in a
$200 thousand, or 9.6%, decline in interest expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 to $1.6 million
from $1.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002.

Losses before income taxes were $446 thousand in the first quarter of fiscal 2003, compared to a pre-
tax profit of $166 thousand in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The net loss is primarily the result of
lower gasoline and merchandise gross margin levels, offset slightly by higher comparable store
merchandise sales. The Company received a benefit for income taxes in the first quarter of fiscal 2003

PAGE 20

of $24 thousand compared to a provision for income taxes of $56 thousand in the first quarter of fiscal
2002. During the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company increased its valuation allowance against
the deferred tax asset because it has been determined that it is more likely than not that the Company
will not be able to fully utilize the NOL's. This increase in the reserve has resulted in a
5% tax benefit in comparison to a 34% tax provision in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. Net losses for
the first fiscal quarter ended January 2, 2003 were $422 thousand, or $0.06 per share, compared to a net
profit of $110 thousand, or $0.02 per share, for the quarter ended January 3, 2002.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

Most of the Company's sales are for cash and its inventory turns over rapidly. As a result, the
Company's daily operations generally do not require large amounts of working capital. From time to
time, the Company utilizes portions of its cash to construct new stores and renovate
existing locations.

As of September 30, 2002, the Company amended its revolving credit agreement (the "Agreement") to
revise covenants relating to interest and fixed-charge coverage ratios for the fourth quarter of fiscal
year 2002 and the first quarter of fiscal year 2003. The Company and the bank are currently evaluating
revisions to its Agreement that will be consistent with the Company's strategic course. While the bank
has indicated that it intends to negotiate revisions to the Agreement, in good faith, that may be
necessary, there can be no assurance that such revisions will be agreed to or that the Company will
be in compliance with the existing or amended covenants under the Agreement during the remainder of
fiscal year 2003. At January 2, 2003, $2.6 million was available for borrowing under this Agreement.
See Footnote D to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for additional
information regarding the Agreement. In addition, the Company's liquid fuels tax bond expires in the
third fiscal quarter of 2003, and the Company is currently negotiating the renewal of this bond with the surety company.

Capital requirements for debt service and capital leases for the balance of fiscal year 2003 are
approximately $11.3 million, which includes $9.2 million in revolving credit that has been classified as
current pending renegotiation of the covenants. The Company anticipates capital expenditures in the
remainder of fiscal year 2003 of $1.6 million, funded from cash flows from operations. These capital
expenditures include replacement of store equipment and gasoline-dispensing equipment and
upgrading of the Company's in-store and corporate data processing systems.

Operating lease commitments for the remainder of fiscal year 2003 are approximately $4.7 million.
These commitments for fiscal years 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 are approximately $6.0 million, $4.4
million, $3.2 million, and $3.0 million, respectively.

Management believes that cash from operations, available credit facilities and asset sales will be
sufficient to meet the Company's obligations for the foreseeable future. In the event that the Company
is unable to renew the liquid fuels tax bond, amend covenants under its revolving credit agreement or
cannot obtain required consents from lenders and otherwise successfully consummate proposed asset sales, there is a substantial risk that the Company will not be able to meet future cash obligations.

PAGE 21

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES:


The discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of operations are based
upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements
requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-
going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to self-insured liabilities,
impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill and income taxes. The Company bases its estimates on
historical experience, current and anticipated business conditions, the condition of the financial
markets, and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under existing conditions.
Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The Company believes that the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant
judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements:

Self-insurance liabilities -- The Company records estimates for self-insured worker's compensation and
general liability insurance coverage. Should a greater amount of claims occur compared to what was
estimated, or costs increase beyond what was anticipated, reserves recorded may not be sufficient, and
additional expense may be recorded.

Impairment -- The Company evaluates long-lived assets, including stores, for impairment quarterly, or
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets may not be recoverable. The
impairment is measured by calculating the estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by the
store, and comparing this amount to the carrying value of the store's assets. Cash flows are calculated
utilizing individual store forecasts and total company projections for the remaining estimated lease
lives of the stores being analyzed. Should actual results differ from those forecasted and projected, the
Company may be subject to future impairment charges related to these facilities.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2003, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") Nos. 142 and 144. SFAS No. 142 requires that assets with indefinite lives not be
amortized but tested annually for impairment and provides specific guidance for such testing. SFAS
No. 144 provides additional guidance for impairment testing and determination of when an asset is
considered to be for sale. The Company will finish its impairment test during the second quarter of
fiscal 2003 and believes the adoption of SFAS No. 142 could result in a material write-off of goodwill.
Goodwill at January 2, 2003 was $5,857,000.

Income taxes -- The Company currently has NOL's that can be utilized to offset future income for
federal and state tax purposes. These NOL's generate a significant deferred tax asset. However, the
Company has recorded a valuation allowance against this deferred tax asset as it has determined that it
is more likely than not that it will not be able to fully utilize the NOL's. Should the Company's
assumptions regarding the utilization of these NOL's change, it may reduce some or all of this

ITEM 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company uses its revolving credit facility and its mortgage and equipment loans to finance a
significant portion of its operations. These on-balance sheet financial instruments, to the extent they
provide for variable rates of interest, expose the Company to interest rate risk resulting from changes in
the LIBOR or prime rate.

To the extent that the Company's financial instruments expose the Company to interest rate risk, they
are presented in the table below. The table presents principal cash flows and related interest rates by
year of maturity for the Company's revolving credit facility, mortgage loans and equipment loans at
January 2, 2003.

The carrying amounts of cash and short-term debt approximate fair value. The Company estimates the
fair value of its long-term, fixed-rate debt generally using discounted cash flow analysis based on the
Company's current borrowing rates for debt with similar maturities. The Company estimates the fair
value of its long-term, variable-rate debt based on carrying amounts plus unamortized loan fees
associated with the debt.

ITEM 4 - Controls and Procedures

CEO and CFO Certifications. Appearing immediately following the Signatures section of this
Quaterly Report are two certifications, one by each of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief
Financial Officer (the "Section 302 Certifications"). This Item 4 of our Quarterly Report contains
information concerning the evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and
matters regarding our internal controls that are referred to in the Section 302 Certifications. This
information should be read in conjunction with the Section 302 Certifications for a more complete
understanding of the topics presented.

Evaluation of the Company's Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") requires that within 90 days prior to the filing of this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q, the CEO and the CFO evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Company's "disclosure controls and procedures" and report their conclusions on the effectiveness of
the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures in this report.

"Disclosure controls and procedures" mean the controls and other procedures that are designed with the
objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms promulgated by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Disclosure controls and procedures are also
designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.

Evaluation of the Company's Internal Controls. The SEC also requires that the CEO and CFO
certify certain matters regarding the Company's "internal controls."

"Internal controls" mean our procedures which are designed with the objective of providing reasonable
assurance that (1) our transactions are properly authorized; (2) our assets are safeguarded against
unauthorized or improper use; and (3) our transactions are properly recorded and reported, all to permit
the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our internal controls are evaluated quarterly by the Company.

Among the matters our CEO and CFO must certify in the Section 302 Certifications are whether all
"significant deficiencies" or "material weaknesses" in the Company's internal controls have been
disclosed to the Company's auditors and the audit committee of the Company's Board of Directors. In
the professional auditing literature, "significant deficiencies" are referred to as "reportable conditions";
these are control issues that could have a significant adverse effect on an entity's ability to record,
process, summarize and report financial data in the financial statements. A "material weakness" is
defined in the auditing literature as a particularly serious reportable condition where the design or
operation of one or more internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk
that misstatements caused by error or fraud may occur in amounts that would be material in relation to
the financial statements and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course
of performing their assigned functions.

PAGE 24

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. The Company's management, including the CEO and
CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent
all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only
reasonable, as opposed to absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the
benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all
control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and
instances of fraud, if any, within an entity have been detected. These inherent limitations include the
realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of
simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some
persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of
any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future
events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under
all potential future conditions; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of

the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may
occur and not be detected.

CEO/CFO Conclusions about the Effectiveness of the Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Based upon their evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures, our CEO and CFO have
concluded that, subject to the limitations noted above, our disclosure controls and procedures are
effective to provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to the Company and its
consolidated subsidiaries is made known to management, including the CEO and CFO, on a timely
basis.

Changes in Internal Controls. There were no significant changes to our internal controls or in other
factors that could significantly affect our internal controls, subsequent to the date of our last evaluation
of our internal controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and
material weaknesses.
