TOPS HOLDING II CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. THE COMPANY, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company

Tops Holding II Corporation (“Holding II” or “Company”), the parent of Tops Holding LLC (“Holding I”), formerly Tops Holding Corporation, was incorporated on May 7, 2013. Holding I is the parent of Tops Markets, LLC (“Tops Markets”), a supermarket retailer with supermarkets in Upstate New York, Northern Pennsylvania and Vermont. As of July 12, 2014, the Company operated 157 supermarkets under the banners of Tops and Orchard Fresh, with an additional five supermarkets operated by franchisees. Holding II has no business operations other than the ownership of Holding I and as the issuer of the Holding II Notes (see Note 6).

On November 14, 2013, each of the sellers named therein (including Morgan Stanley Global Private Equity (“MSPE”)) (the “Sellers”), Tops MBO Corporation (“Tops MBO Co”) and Holding II signed a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”) pursuant to which Tops MBO Co agreed to purchase substantially all of the outstanding common stock of Holding II (together with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the “Management Purchase”). Tops MBO Co is owned and controlled by current members of management. The Management Purchase closed effective December 1, 2013. The consummation of the Management Purchase was the result of arms’ length negotiations. Prior to the Management Purchase, members of management owned approximately 7% of the outstanding common stock in Holding II, with MSPE and other private funds and individuals owning the remaining common stock. As a result of the Management Purchase, through their ownership of Tops MBO Co and through direct ownership of six shares of Holding II, members of management now beneficially own all of the outstanding common stock of Holding II.

The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and “push down” accounting was required to be applied, with the result that purchase accounting adjustments were reflected in the Company’s financial statements. The application of “push down” accounting resulted in a new basis of accounting in which the total cost of the Management Purchase was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed using estimates of fair values based on a preliminary allocation of the purchase price. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements refer to the Company in the period prior to the acquisition as “Predecessor” and in the period subsequent to the acquisition as “Successor.” For more information, see Note 2.

Holding II is the reporting entity for the Holding I Notes and Holding II Notes (see Note 6). Tops MBO Co is neither a co-issuer nor guarantor of these notes. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared for Holding II and exclude the net assets and results of operations of Tops MBO Co. Tops MBO Co’s assets and liabilities consist solely of its investment in Holding II, the remaining outstanding principal amount of a $12.3 million term loan (“MBO Co Loan”) entered into to partially fund the Management Purchase, and related deferred financing costs. Tops MBO Co has no operations other than as the borrower under the MBO Co Loan and the equity owner of Holding II.

Accounting Policies

A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 to the audited consolidated financial statements of Holding II contained in its 2013 Special Report on Form 10-K.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

The Company operates on a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 30. Fiscal years include 13 four-week reporting periods, with an additional week in the thirteenth reporting period for 53-week fiscal years. The first quarter of each fiscal year includes four reporting periods, while the remaining quarters include three reporting periods.

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the 12-week and 28-week periods ended July 12, 2014 and July 13, 2013 are unaudited, and, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments that are of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of financial position and results of operations for such periods.

Segments

The Company’s supermarkets offer grocery, produce, frozen, dairy, meat, floral, seafood, health and beauty care, general merchandise, deli and bakery goods. The Company operates one supermarket format where each supermarket offers the same general mix of products with similar pricing to similar categories of customers. As of July 12, 2014, 76 corporate supermarkets offered pharmacy services and 51 corporate fuel centers were in operation. The Company’s retail operations, which represent substantially all of the Company’s consolidated sales, earnings and total assets, are its only operating segment and reportable segment. The Company’s retail operations as a whole reflect the level at which the business is managed and how the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who acts as the Company’s chief operating decision maker, assesses performance internally.

The following table presents sales revenue by type of similar product (dollars in thousands):

(3)	Other primarily consists of franchise income and service commission income, such as lottery, money orders and money transfers.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. The most significant estimates used by management are related to the accounting for vendor allowances, valuation of long-lived assets including goodwill and intangible assets, acquisition accounting, lease classification, self-insurance reserves, inventory valuation and income taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” establish a framework for measuring fair value and a hierarchy that categorizes and prioritizes the sources to be used to estimate fair value as follows:

Level 1 – observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2 – inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs); and

Level 3 – unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s determination of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are developed based on the best information available, including the Company’s own data.

- 5 -

Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and long-term debt. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments. At July 12, 2014 and December 28, 2013, the carrying value and the estimated fair value of the Company’s debt instruments were as follows (dollars in thousands):


	July 12, 2014		December 28, 2013
Carrying value of long-term debt:
Current portion of long-term debt	$	1,938	$	2,309
Long-term debt		663,012		664,186

Total carrying value of long-term debt		664,950		666,495
Fair value of long-term debt		713,563		719,861

Excess of fair value over carrying value	$	48,613	$	53,366

The fair value of the Company’s Holding I Notes and Holding II Notes (see Note 6), which are included in long-term debt, was based on quoted market prices, a Level 2 source. The fair value of the Company’s other long-term debt was based on the net present value of future cash flows using estimated applicable market interest rates for the Company at July 12, 2014 and December 28, 2013, a Level 3 measurement technique.

Fair value measurements of non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities are primarily used in the impairment analysis of long-lived assets, goodwill and intangible assets. Long-lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using Level 3 inputs. Goodwill and the Tops tradename are reviewed annually for impairment on December 1, or more frequently, if impairment indicators arise.

2. BUSINESS ACQUISITION

On December 1, 2013, the Management Purchase was consummated. Following the Management Purchase, primarily through their ownership of Tops MBO Co, management now beneficially owns all of the outstanding common stock of Holding II. Accordingly, the Company was required to apply “push down” accounting, with the results of the Management Purchase reflected in Holding II’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The application of “push down” accounting has resulted in a new basis of accounting in which the total purchase price paid by Tops MBO Co has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed using preliminary estimates of their fair values under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”). In addition to the cash consideration of $20.9 million paid to the Sellers, the Company incurred $15.8 million of transaction costs during late Fiscal 2013.

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the aggregate purchase price is allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets based upon their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The Company engaged a third party valuation specialist to assist with the valuation of assets acquired. As the values of certain assets and liabilities are preliminary in nature, the fair values for inventory, property and equipment, favorable and unfavorable lease rights, the tradename, customer relationships, franchise agreements, deferred income taxes and goodwill are subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained. For purposes of a preliminary allocation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net tangible and intangible assets has been assigned to goodwill, which is not tax deductible. The purchase price allocations will be finalized within twelve months of the closing of the Management Purchase. When the valuations are finalized, changes to the preliminary valuation of assets acquired or liabilities assumed may result in material adjustments to the fair value of property and equipment, identifiable intangible assets acquired, including the tradename, deferred income taxes and any related goodwill initially recorded.

The preliminary fair value of inventory was determined based upon the Company’s estimated selling prices, less estimated costs to sell, disposition costs and normal profit margin. The preliminary fair values of buildings, personal property and site improvements, all of which are included in property and equipment in the succeeding table, were determined using the cost approach. The preliminary fair value of land was determined using the market approach. The preliminary fair values of intangible assets were primarily determined using the income approach which, for the tradename, is based upon the present value of the economic royalty savings and revenue projections attributed to the tradename. The discount rates applied to the value of intangible assets ranged between 14% and 16%, which were benchmarked with reference to the implied rate of return from the transaction model as well as an estimate of a market participant’s weighted average cost of capital on the capital asset pricing model.

The Company had gross deferred tax assets of $50.1 million as of the closing date, of which $24.4 million related to historical net operating losses (“NOLs”). These historical deferred tax assets were offset by deferred tax liabilities of $11.5 million, as well as a valuation allowance of $43.9 million.

- 6 -

The Company conducted an analysis to determine the impact of the acquisition on its ability to utilize the NOLs. The analysis concluded that the Company incurred a change in ownership within the meaning of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC Section 382”). In general, IRC Section 382 places annual limitations on the use of certain tax attributes such as NOLs in existence as of the ownership change date. The IRC Section 382 calculation indicates that the change in ownership will not impact the Company’s ability to use certain tax attributes.

Goodwill resulting from the Management Purchase is not tax deductible. Acquisition accounting adjustments to the fair value of intangible assets, property and equipment and certain other assets and liabilities will also not be deductible for tax purposes. In accordance with ASC 805, preliminary incremental net deferred tax liabilities of $86.4 million related to acquisition accounting adjustments have been established as of the closing date with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill.

Due to preliminary net deferred tax liabilities recognized in conjunction with definite-lived intangible assets, property and equipment and certain other assets acquired and liabilities assumed, it was determined that it was more likely than not that the Company will be able to utilize deferred tax assets related to future tax deductions, and as such, the Company reversed the valuation allowance of $43.9 million related to acquired deferred tax assets, including NOLs, with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill.

The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the transaction date (dollars in thousands):


Assets acquired:
Cash	$	25,149
Accounts receivable		66,244
Inventory		149,911
Prepaid expenses		14,905

The factors contributing to the recognition of goodwill were based upon the Company’s determination that several strategic and synergistic benefits are expected to be realized from the Management Purchase. Goodwill represents the purchase price paid in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed at December 1, 2013.

Previously reported results have been retroactively adjusted to reflect revised useful life estimates for property and equipment assets revalued in connection with the Management Purchase. These revised estimates resulted in reductions of depreciation expense of $4.7 million and $1.3 million in the 16-week period ended April 19, 2014 and the 4-week period ended December 28, 2013 (“Fiscal 2013 Successor Period”), respectively. These depreciation expense adjustments resulted in related reductions of income tax benefit of $0.1 million and $0.5 million in the 16-week period ended April 19, 2014 and the Fiscal 2013 Successor Period, respectively.

The following table summarizes the change in the Company’s goodwill balance during the 28-week period ended July 12, 2014 (dollars in thousands):


Balance – December 28, 2013	$	217,406

Balance – July 12, 2014	$	217,406

Goodwill is reviewed annually for impairment on December 1, or more frequently upon the occurrence of trigger events. Based on the Company’s assessment, no goodwill impairments were recorded during the 12-week and 28-week periods ended July 12, 2014 and July 13, 2013.

Intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, consist of the following (dollars in thousands):

	$	194,300	$	(961	)	$	193,339

The Tops tradename is reviewed annually for impairment on December 1, or more frequently, if impairment indicators arise. Based on the Company’s assessment, no impairment was recorded during the 12-week and 28-week periods ended July 12, 2014 and July 13, 2013.

During the 12-week periods ended July 12, 2014 and July 13, 2013, amortization expense related to intangible assets was $2.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively. During the 28-week periods ended July 12, 2014 and July 13, 2013, amortization expense related to intangible assets was $6.5 million and $4.5 million, respectively. Such amortization is included in depreciation and amortization in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

Depreciation and amortization in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss during the 12-week periods ended July 12, 2014 and July 13, 2013 includes $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of contra-expense related to the amortization of unfavorable lease rights which are classified in other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated

- 8 -

balance sheets. During the 28-week periods ended July 12, 2014 and July 13, 2013, depreciation and amortization in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss includes $0.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of contra-expense related to the amortization of unfavorable lease rights. Expected future amortization of these unfavorable lease rights is contra-expense of $0.2 million in the remaining period of Fiscal 2014, $0.4 million in Fiscal 2015, $0.4 million in Fiscal 2016, $0.4 million in Fiscal 2017, $0.4 million in Fiscal 2018 and $1.4 million thereafter.

As of July 12, 2014, expected future amortization of intangible assets is as follows (dollars in thousands):


2014 (remaining period)	$	5,593
2015		10,729
2016		7,724
2017		6,557
2018		5,633
Thereafter		19,577

4. ACCRUED EXPENSES AND OTHER CURRENT LIABILITIES

Accrued expenses and other current liabilities consist of the following (dollars in thousands):


	July 12, 2014		December 28, 2013
Wages, taxes and benefits	$	16,978	$	18,391
Lottery		11,301		10,519

Repairs and maintenance		1,882		2,539
Money orders		1,861		1,456
Other		11,828		12,988

	$	77,599	$	98,231

The decrease in accrued professional and legal fees as of July 12, 2014 compared with December 28, 2013 is largely due to $15.2 million of transaction fees incurred in the Management Purchase that were accrued as of December 28, 2013 and paid during the 28-week period ended July 12, 2014.

5. CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS

The Company has a number of capital leases in effect for store properties and equipment. The initial lease terms generally range up to twenty-five years and will expire at various times through 2035, with options to renew for additional periods. The majority of the store leases provide for base rental, plus real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance and other operating expenses applicable to the leased premises. Some leases contain escalation clauses for future rents and contingent rents based on sales volume.

As of July 12, 2014, future minimum lease rental payments applicable to non-cancelable capital lease obligations were as follows (dollars in thousands):


2014 (remaining period)	$	13,643
2015		27,361
2016		26,041
2017		22,886
2018		19,641

Present value of net minimum lease payments		68,884
Less current obligations		(8,511	)

Long-term cash obligations		60,373
Non-cash obligations		68,552

Total long-term capital lease obligations	$	128,925

- 9 -

The Company has entered into build-to-suit and sale-leaseback transactions in various years involving certain properties that did not qualify for sale-leaseback accounting as the lease agreements included various forms of continuing involvement. Such transactions include the sale-leaseback of three properties for cash proceeds of $12.8 million during the 28-week period ended July 12, 2014. These transactions have been classified as financing transactions in accordance with ASC Topic 840, “Leases,” due to the existence of forms of continuing involvement.

Under the financing method, the assets remain on the consolidated balance sheet and proceeds received by the Company from these transactions are recorded as capital lease obligations, allocated between land, as applicable, and building. Payments under these leases are applied as payments of imputed interest and deemed principal on the underlying building obligations, with no underlying cash payments deemed attributable to the land obligations and the estimated net book value of the buildings at the conclusion of the lease terms. The related land assets are not depreciated, and at the end of the lease terms, the remaining capital lease obligations will equal the combined net book values of the land and buildings. At the expiration of the lease terms, which range from 2023 to 2068, or when the Company’s continuing involvement under the lease agreements ends, the related land, buildings and capital lease obligations will be removed from the consolidated balance sheet, with no underlying cash payments. These capital lease obligations are reflected as non-cash obligations in the preceding table.

6. DEBT

Long-term debt is comprised of the following (dollars in thousands):


	July 12, 2014			December 28, 2013
Holding I Notes	$	460,000		$	460,000

Current portion		(1,938	)		(2,309	)

Total long-term debt	$	663,012		$	664,186

On May 15, 2013, Holding II issued $150.0 million of unsecured senior notes, bearing cash interest of 8.75% (the “Holding II Notes”). If certain conditions are met, Holding II may be entitled to pay interest on the Holding II Notes by increasing the principal of the notes or by issuing new notes as pay-in-kind interest. Such interest would accrue at a rate of 9.50%. The $148.5 million proceeds from the Holding II Notes issuance, net of a $1.5 million original issue discount, were used to pay a $141.9 million, or $980 per share, dividend to the Holding II shareholders. The Holding II Notes mature June 15, 2018 and require semi-annual interest payments on June 15 and December 15. To the extent permitted by the agreements governing the Holding I Notes (see below) and the 2017 ABL Facility (see below), Holding I may make dividend payments to Holding II to fund the semi-annual interest payments related to the Holding II Notes. The Holding II Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time on or after June 15, 2015 at specified redemption prices. Prior to June 15, 2015, the Company may redeem some or all of the Holding II Notes at a specified “make-whole” premium.

On December 20, 2012, Holding I and Tops Markets (collectively, the “Issuers”) issued $460.0 million of senior secured notes, bearing interest of 8.875% (the “Holding I Notes”). Effective May 15, 2013, Tops Markets II Corporation was added as a co-issuer of the Holding I Notes. On August 20, 2013, Holding II was added as a guarantor of the Holding I Notes. The proceeds from the Holding I Notes were used to redeem the previously outstanding $350.0 million senior secured notes, pay a $100.0 million dividend to the Holding I shareholders and pay fees and expenses related to the notes issuance. The Holding I Notes mature December 15, 2017 and require semi-annual interest payments on June 15 and December 15. The Holding I Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time on or after June 15, 2015 at specified redemption prices. Prior to June 15, 2015, the Issuers may redeem some or all of the Holding I Notes at a specified “make-whole” premium.

The Holding I Notes are collateralized by (i) first priority interests, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens, in the stock held by Holding II, the Issuers, Tops Markets II Corporation and the guarantor subsidiaries, Tops PT, LLC and Tops Gift Card Company, LLC (collectively, the “Guarantors”), the Company’s warehouse distribution facility in Lancaster, New York, the Company’s retail facility located in Fayetteville, New York and certain owned real property acquired by the Issuers and the Guarantors following the issue date of the Holding I Notes, equipment, intellectual property, and substantially all other assets of the Issuers and the Guarantors, other than assets securing the Company’s asset-based revolving credit facility (the “2017 ABL Facility”) on a first priority basis (collectively, the “Holding I Notes Priority Collateral”), and (ii) second priority interests, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens, in the assets of the Issuers and the Guarantors that secure the 2017 ABL Facility on a first priority basis, including present and future receivables, deposit accounts, inventory, prescription lists, and certain rights and proceeds relating thereto (collectively, the “ABL Priority Collateral”).

- 10 -

On December 14, 2012, Tops Markets entered into an amended and restated asset-based revolving credit facility, the 2017 ABL Facility, with Bank of America, N.A., as collateral agent and administrative agent. The 2017 ABL Facility allows a maximum borrowing capacity of $125.0 million, subject to a borrowing base calculation, with an option for up to $50.0 million of additional borrowing capacity if certain conditions are met. The borrowing base includes inventory, pharmacy prescription files and certain receivables. On November 14, 2013, certain provisions of the 2017 ABL Facility were amended in conjunction with the Management Purchase. The amended provisions are in effect until May 14, 2015 which: (1) limit permitted acquisitions to no more than $10.0 million annually, (2) limit total capital expenditures to no more than $60.0 million per year for each of the 2014 and 2015 fiscal years, and (3) require minimum excess availability of $10.0 million as of the amendment effective date, reduced by $2.25 million per quarter thereafter. The 2017 ABL Facility will mature on December 14, 2017.

As of July 12, 2014, the unused availability under the 2017 ABL Facility was $37.1 million, after giving effect to the borrowing base calculation, $22.3 million of letters of credit outstanding and $50.0 million borrowings outstanding. As of December 28, 2013, $17.6 million of letters of credit were outstanding under the 2017 ABL Facility. Revolving loans under the 2017 ABL Facility, at the Company’s option, bear interest at either i) LIBOR plus a margin of 150 to 200 basis points, determined based on levels of borrowing availability, or ii) the prime rate plus a margin of 50 to 100 basis points, determined based on levels of borrowing availability. As of July 12, 2014 and December 28, 2013, the weighted average interest rates on borrowings under the 2017 ABL Facility were 1.96% and 1.90%, respectively. The 2017 ABL Facility is collateralized primarily by (i) first priority interests, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens, in the ABL Priority Collateral and (ii) second priority interests, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens, in the Holding I Notes Priority Collateral.

The instruments governing the Holding II Notes, Holding I Notes and the 2017 ABL Facility impose customary affirmative and negative covenants on the Company, including restrictions on indebtedness, liens, type of business, acquisitions, investments, sale or transfer of assets, payment of dividends, transactions involving affiliates, and obligations on a change in control. Failure to meet any of these covenants would be an event of default. On August 19, 2014, the 2017 ABL Facility was amended to reduce specified restrictions on the Company’s ability to make certain payments, including dividends.

On November 29, 2013, Tops MBO Co entered into the $12.3 million MBO Co Loan to partially fund the Management Purchase. The MBO Co Loan bears cash interest of LIBOR plus a margin of 300 basis points, with six quarterly principal and interest payments that began March 31, 2014. Holding II and its subsidiaries are neither co-issuers nor guarantors of the MBO Co Loan, and none of the assets or stock of Holding II are pledged as collateral for the MBO Co Loan. Accordingly, the MBO Co Loan has not been pushed down to the condensed consolidated financial statements of Holding II. If certain conditions are met related to the Holding II Notes, Holding I Notes and the 2017 ABL Facility, Holding II may pay dividends to Tops MBO Co to fund the principal and interest payments required by the MBO Co Loan.

7. INCOME TAXES

Income tax (expense) benefit was as follows (dollars in thousands):


	12-week periods ended						28-week periods ended
	July 12, 2014			July 13, 2013			July 12, 2014			July 13, 2013
	(Successor)			(Predecessor)			(Successor)			(Predecessor)
Current	$	(2	)	$	(1	)	$	(19	)	$	—

Total income tax (expense) benefit	$	(432	)	$	(378	)	$	2,021		$	(805	)

The income tax expense for the 12-week period ended July 12, 2014 primarily reflects the recognition of additional valuation allowance associated with the Company’s indefinite-lived tradename and goodwill deferred tax liabilities. The overall effective tax rate was (158.2)%. The effective tax rate would have been 23.2% without the impact of the valuation allowance establishment.

The income tax expense for the 12-week period ended July 13, 2013 primarily reflects the recognition of additional valuation allowance associated with the Company’s indefinite-lived tradename and goodwill deferred tax liabilities. The overall effective tax rate was (7.7)%. The effective tax rate would have been 43.0% without the impact of adjustments to the valuation allowance.

The income tax benefit for the 28-week period ended July 12, 2014 primarily reflects the loss before income taxes, net of the recognition of valuation allowance associated with the Company’s indefinite-lived tradename and goodwill deferred tax liabilities. The overall effective tax rate was 17.2%. The effective tax rate would have been 41.5% without the impact of the valuation allowance establishment.

- 11 -

The income tax expense for the 28-week period ended July 13, 2013 primarily reflects the recognition of additional valuation allowance associated with the Company’s indefinite-lived tradename and goodwill deferred tax liabilities. The overall effective tax rate was (9.2)%. The effective tax rate would have been 19.5% without the impact of adjustments to the valuation allowance.

8. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

On March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, the Company paid dividends of $2.4 million and $2.3 million, respectively, to Tops MBO Co to fund the quarterly principal and interest payments under the MBO Co Loan.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Multiemployer Pension Plan

On December 22, 2013, Tops Markets acquired all of the membership interests of Erie Logistics, LLC (“Erie Logistics”) and certain other assets from C&S. Erie Logistics operates the Company’s warehouse distribution facilities located in Lancaster and Cheektowaga, New York and employs the warehouse and driver personnel at such facilities, all of whom are represented by Teamsters Local 264. Under its supply agreement with Tops Markets, C&S, through Erie Logistics, had operated such facilities since 2002.

In late January 2014, the Company received notice that the New York State Teamsters Conference Pension and Retirement Fund (the “Fund”) had suspended Erie Logistics as a participating employer in the Fund pending the Fund’s investigation into the acquisition. This suspension was retroactive to the effective date of the acquisition of Erie Logistics from C&S. During this “suspension” the Company continued to make contributions to the Fund as required by the collective bargaining agreements with Teamsters Local 264. The Fund rejected and returned these contributions. During the 12-week and 28-week periods ended July 12, 2014, these rejected contributions totaled $1.1 million and $2.3 million, respectively. On May 27, 2014, the Fund provided Erie Logistics and C&S with notice of its determination that Erie Logistics incurred employer withdrawal liability as a result of the acquisition. The notice provides that Erie Logistics owes withdrawal liability of $183.7 million, payable in a lump sum or in monthly installments of $641,514 for 240 months.

The Company believes that the Fund’s determination of a withdrawal violates the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”), the existing participation agreements between Erie Logistics and the Fund, and the fiduciary duties of the trustees of the Fund. The Company intends to vigorously contest this determination initially through mandatory arbitration under ERISA.

The Company has not recorded any reserve for this matter as a loss is not considered probable. If it were ultimately determined that Erie Logistics has incurred a withdrawal liability to the Fund, the Company would bear financial responsibility for this liability. Under the terms of the purchase agreement for the acquisition, and as a continuation of our prior contractual obligations, the Company retains the obligation to indemnify C&S in the event withdrawal liability is imposed on Erie Logistics for which C&S is jointly liable. During the pendency of the proceeding to contest the withdrawal determination, ERISA requires that conditional monthly payments of withdrawal liability be made, which began July 28, 2014. The monthly conditional payments of withdrawal liability are in addition to pension contributions the Company is required to make for the benefit of Erie Logistics’ associates under the collective bargaining agreements with Teamsters Local 264 which, as noted, the Fund has refused to accept.

On July 28, 2014, Teamsters Local 264 filed a grievance charging a violation of its collective bargaining agreements with the Company by reason of the Company’s failing to participate in the Fund.

Purchase Commitments

Effective December 22, 2013, the Company modified its existing supply agreement with C&S Wholesale Grocers, Inc. (“C&S”) whereby Tops Markets resumed warehousing and transportation functions while C&S continued to provide procurement and purchasing services in support of the majority of the Company’s supply chain. This modified supply agreement, which expires on September 24, 2016, sets out the parties’ respective responsibilities for the procurement and purchase of merchandise intended for use or resale in the Company’s supermarkets. In consideration for the services it provides under the agreement, C&S is paid a fee based on all merchandise procured and also has incentive income opportunities.

On September 24, 2012, the Company entered into a supplemental supply agreement with C&S to provide similar services in support of the 21 supermarkets acquired from Grand Union Markets, LLC in October 2013. This agreement expires on September 23, 2022.

Effective May 1, 2013, Tops Markets entered into a member participation agreement with Topco Associates, LLC (“Topco”), a procurement cooperative for food retailers and wholesalers, for the supply of substantially all of the Company’s prescription drugs. Tops Markets must purchase 95% of its branded and generic prescription merchandise through Topco. This agreement expires February 28, 2017. The Company’s previous supply agreement for these products with McKesson Corporation was terminated without penalty.

- 12 -

Effective July 24, 2010, the Company extended its existing IT outsourcing agreement with HP Enterprise Services, LLC (“HP”) through December 31, 2017 to provide a wide range of information systems services. Under the agreement, HP provides data center operations, mainframe processing, business applications and systems development to enhance the Company’s customer service and efficiency. The charges under this agreement are based upon the services requested at predetermined rates.

The costs of these purchase commitments are not reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Environmental Liabilities

The Company is contingently liable for potential environmental issues of some of its properties. As the Company is unaware of environmental issues that are expected to materially impact the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as a whole, no amounts were accrued as of July 12, 2014 or December 28, 2013.

Collective Bargaining Agreements

The Company employs approximately 15,100 associates. Approximately 83% of these associates are members of United Food and Commercial Workers, or UFCW, District Union Local One, or Local One, or two other UFCW unions. Approximately 4% are members of Teamsters Local 264, working within our warehouse and distribution facilities. All other associates are non-union. The Company is a party to five collective bargaining agreements with Local One expiring between October 2015 and July 2017. The Company has a non-Local One UFCW collective bargaining agreement expiring in February 2015, and another non-Local One UFCW collective bargaining agreement that expires in April 2016. The Company is also a party to three collective bargaining agreements with Teamsters Local 264 expiring in August 2019.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is unaware of legal proceedings that are expected to materially impact the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as a whole. No amounts related to legal proceedings were accrued as of July 12, 2014 or December 28, 2013.

10. GUARANTOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The obligations of Holding I, Tops Markets and Tops Markets II Corporation under the Holding I Notes are jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Holding II, the parent of Holding I, Tops Gift Card Company, LLC and Tops PT, LLC (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”), all of which are 100% owned subsidiaries of Tops Markets. Holding II was established in May 2013, Tops Gift Card Company, LLC was established in October 2008 and Tops PT, LLC was established in January 2010. Tops Markets and Tops Markets II Corporation are joint issuers of the Holding I notes and are 100% owned by Holding I. Separate financial statements of Holding II, Holding I, Tops Markets, Tops Markets II Corporation and of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented as the guarantees are full and unconditional and Holding II and the Guarantor Subsidiaries are jointly and severally liable thereon.

The following supplemental financial information sets forth, on a condensed consolidating basis, balance sheets as of July 12, 2014 and December 28, 2013 for Holding II, Holding I, Tops Markets, the Guarantor Subsidiaries, and for the Company, statements of comprehensive loss for the 12-week and 28-week periods ended July 12, 2014 and July 13, 2013, and statements of cash flows for the 28-week periods ended July 12, 2014 and July 13, 2013.

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this 10-Q.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

We are a leading supermarket retailer in Upstate New York, Northern Pennsylvania and Vermont. Introduced in 1962, our Tops brand is widely recognized as a strong retail supermarket brand name in our market area, supported by strong customer loyalty and attractive supermarket locations. As of July 12, 2014, we operated 157 full-service supermarkets under the banners of Tops and Orchard Fresh, with an additional five supermarkets operated by franchisees.

On November 14, 2013, Morgan Stanley Private Equity and other stockholders of Holding II, Tops MBO Corporation (“Tops MBO Co”) and Holding II signed a Purchase and Sale Agreement pursuant to which Tops MBO Co agreed to purchase substantially all of the common stock of Holding II (the “Management Purchase”). Tops MBO Co is owned and controlled by members of our management. The Management Purchase closed effective December 1, 2013. The Management Purchase was the result of arms’ length negotiations between the parties. Prior to the Management Purchase, members of management owned approximately 7% of the outstanding common stock of Holding II. As a result of the Management Purchase, management now beneficially owns all of the outstanding common stock of Holding II.

Forward-Looking Statements

This 10-Q contains forward-looking statements, which are generally statements about future events, plans, objectives and performance. Generally, the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “project,” “will” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations, based on currently available information, and are not guarantees. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, these expectations could prove inaccurate as such statements involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our ability to control or predict. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties, or other risks or uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial, materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to the following:

•

current economic conditions and the impact of those conditions on consumer demand and spending and our pricing strategy;

•

pricing and market strategies and expansion, consolidation and other activities of competitors, and our ability to respond to the promotional practices of competitors;

•

our ability to effectively increase or maintain our profit margins;

•

the success of our acquisition and remodel plans;

•

fluctuations in utility, fuel and commodity prices which could impact consumer spending and buying habits and the cost of doing business;

•

risks inherent in our fuel station operations;

•

our exposure to local economies and other adverse conditions due to our geographic concentration;

•

risks of natural disasters and severe weather conditions;

•

supply problems with our suppliers and vendors;

•

our relationships with unions and unionized employees, and the terms of future collective bargaining agreements or labor strikes;

•

increased operating costs resulting from increase in minimum wage, rising employee benefit costs or pension funding obligations, including potential and asserted withdrawal liability under multiemployer pension plans;

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

We operate on a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 30. Our fiscal years include 13 four-week reporting periods, with an additional week in the thirteenth reporting period for 53-week fiscal years. Our first quarter of each fiscal year includes four reporting periods, while the remaining quarters include three reporting periods.

As a result of the Management Purchase, members of management now beneficially own all of the outstanding common stock of Holding II. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and “push down” accounting was required to be applied, with the result that purchase accounting adjustments were reflected in the Company’s financial statements. The application of “push down” accounting resulted in a new basis of accounting in which the total cost of the purchase of Holding II was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed using estimates of fair values based on a preliminary allocation of the Tops MBO Co purchase price. Accordingly, our financial statements refer to the Company in the period prior to the acquisition as “Predecessor” and in the period subsequent to the acquisition as “Successor.”

Our condensed consolidated financial statements for the 12-week and 28-week periods ended July 12, 2014 and July 13, 2013 are unaudited, and, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments that are of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of financial position and results of operations for such periods.

RECENT EVENTS AFFECTING OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND THE COMPARABILITY OF REPORTED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

May 2013 Financing and Dividend Activities

On May 15, 2013, we issued $150.0 million of unsecured senior notes, bearing yearly cash interest of 8.75% (“Holding II Notes”). The proceeds from these notes were used to pay a $141.9 million dividend to our former shareholders. The dividend amount was determined based upon the amount of debt issuable on reasonable credit terms while maintaining acceptable leverage and interest coverage levels.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

12-Week Period Ended July 12, 2014 Compared with 12-Week Period Ended July 13, 2013

Summary

The results of operations during the 12-week period ended July 12, 2014 when compared with the 12-week period ended July 13, 2013 were impacted by a $5.1 million decrease in net sales, primarily attributable to a 2.8% decrease in same store sales. Additionally, we experienced a $10.7 million reduction in operating expenses, largely related to a decrease in administrative expenses due to $6.8 million of bonuses paid during the 12-week period ended July 13, 2013 to stock option holders following the May 2013 dividend, and incremental stock-based compensation expense of $3.5 million during the 2013 period associated with stock option modifications.

Net Sales

The following table includes the components of our net sales for the 12-week periods ended July 12, 2014 and July 13, 2013.

(Dollars in thousands)


	12-week periods ended
	July 12, 2014		July 13, 2013		$ Change			% Change
	(Successor)		(Predecessor)
Inside sales	$	537,996	$	548,224		(10,228	)		(1.9	)%
Fuel sales		58,204		53,051		5,153			9.7	%

Net sales	$	596,200	$	601,275		(5,075	)		(0.8	)%

Inside sales, which are net sales excluding fuel sales, decreased due to a 2.8% decrease in same store sales. Same store sales is the change in period-over-period inside sales, excluding franchise revenue, for “same stores,” which are supermarkets that have been operating for at least 13 full four-week periods. The decrease in same store sales was partially attributable to the timing of the Easter holiday. The week following Easter, historically a poor sales week, occurred during the 2014 period versus the week prior to the 2013 period. This had an estimated 100 basis points impact on same store sales. The remaining same store sales decrease largely occurred in the first eight weeks of the 2014 period with improvement in the sales trend throughout the period. The decrease in same store sales was partially offset by the $4.4 million incremental contribution of four acquired supermarkets and two new supermarkets opened since May 2013.

Fuel sales increased due to a 6.2% increase in the number of gallons sold, primarily due to the addition of nine new fuel stations since May 2013. Additionally, the sales increase was impacted by a 3.3% increase in the average retail price.

Gross Profit

The following table includes a comparison of cost of goods sold, distribution costs and gross profit for the 12-week periods ended July 12, 2014 and July 13, 2013.

	12-week period ended July 12, 2014			% of Net Sales			12-week period ended July 13, 2013			% of Net Sales			$ Change			% Change
	(Successor)						(Predecessor)
Cost of goods sold	$	(417,981	)		70.1	%	$	(418,934	)		69.7	%	$	953			0.2	%
Distribution costs		(11,064	)		1.9	%		(11,763	)		2.0	%		699			5.9	%

Gross profit	$	167,155			28.0	%	$	170,578			28.4	%	$	(3,423	)		(2.0	)%

The decrease in cost of goods sold was due to the decrease in net sales. As a percentage of net sales, the increase was largely due to a greater proportion of lower gross margin fuel sales, as well as a $0.6 million increase in last-in first-out (LIFO) inventory valuation expense. Distribution costs remained relatively consistent during the 12-week period ended July 12, 2014 compared with the 12-week period ended July 13, 2013.

Total	$	148,107		24.8	%	$	158,774		26.4	%	$	(10,667	)		(6.7	)%

Wages, Salaries and Benefits

Wages, salaries and benefits remained relatively consistent during the 12-week period ended July 12, 2014 compared with the 12-week period ended July 13, 2013.

Selling and General Expenses

Selling and general expenses remained relatively consistent during the 12-week period ended July 12, 2014 compared with the 12-week period ended July 13, 2013.

Administrative Expenses

The decrease in administrative expenses is due to $6.8 million of bonuses paid during the 12-week period ended July 13, 2013 to stock option holders following the May 2013 dividend, and incremental stock-based compensation expense of $3.5 million during the 2013 period associated with stock option modifications. Additionally, normal bonus expense decreased $1.2 million based upon performance against budget metrics.

Rent Expense, Net

Rent expense reflects our rental expense for our supermarkets under operating leases, net of income we receive from various entities that rent space in our supermarkets under subleases. Rent expense remained relatively consistent during the 12-week period ended July 12, 2014 compared with the 12-week period ended July 13, 2013.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization remained relatively consistent during the 12-week period ended July 12, 2014 compared with the 12-week period ended July 13, 2013.

Advertising

Advertising remained relatively consistent during the 12-week period ended July 12, 2014 compared with the 12-week period ended July 13, 2013.

Interest Expense, Net

The $2.6 million increase in interest expense is partially attributable to a $1.2 million increase in interest related to higher long-term debt levels, primarily the result of our May 2013 financing activities. Also, there was a $1.4 million increase in interest related to capital lease obligations due to acquisition accounting for the Management Purchase that resulted in the reset of repayment amortization schedules.

- 25 -

Income Tax (Expense) Benefit

The income tax expense for the 12-week period ended July 12, 2014 primarily reflects the recognition of additional valuation allowance associated with indefinite-lived tradename and goodwill deferred tax liabilities. The overall effective tax rate was (158.2)%. The effective tax rate would have been 23.2% without the impact of the valuation allowance establishment.

The income tax expense for the 12-week period ended July 13, 2013 primarily reflects the recognition of additional valuation allowance associated with indefinite-lived tradename and goodwill deferred tax liabilities. The overall effective tax rate was (7.7)%. The effective tax rate would have been 43.0% without the impact of adjustments to the valuation allowance.

Net Loss

Our net loss decreased $4.6 million during the 12-week period ended July 12, 2014 compared with the 12-week period ended July 13, 2013 for the reasons described above.

28-Week Period Ended July 12, 2014 Compared with 28-Week Period Ended July 13, 2013

Summary

The results of operations during the 28-week period ended July 12, 2014 when compared with the 28-week period ended July 13, 2013 were impacted by four acquired supermarkets and three new supermarkets opened since April 2013. Operating income was negatively impacted by an increase in utility costs of $4.4 million. Additionally, our 2013 results reflect $6.8 million of bonuses paid to stock option holders following the May 2013 dividend, and incremental stock-based compensation expense of $3.5 million associated with stock option modifications.

Net Sales

The following table includes the components of our net sales for the 28-week periods ended July 12, 2014 and July 13, 2013.

(Dollars in thousands)


	28-week periods ended
	July 12, 2014		July 13, 2013		$ Change		% Change
	(Successor)		(Predecessor)
Inside sales	$	1,226,452	$	1,217,415	$	9,037		0.7	%
Fuel sales		126,287		119,669		6,618		5.5	%

Net sales	$	1,352,739	$	1,337,084	$	15,655		1.2	%

Inside sales, which are net sales excluding fuel sales, increased due to the $14.5 million incremental contribution of four acquired supermarkets and three new supermarkets opened since April 2013. The increase was partially offset by a 0.6% decrease in same store sales. Same store sales is the change in period-over-period inside sales, excluding franchise revenue, for “same stores,” which are supermarkets that have been operating for at least 13 full four-week periods.

Fuel sales increased due to a 6.3% increase in the number of gallons sold, primarily due to the addition of nine new fuel stations since May 2013. This was partially offset by a 0.7% decrease in the average retail price.

Total	$	348,633		25.8	%	$	351,717		26.3	%	$	(3,084	)		(0.9	)%

Wages, Salaries and Benefits

As a percentage of net sales, wages, salaries and benefits remained relatively consistent during the 28-week period ended July 12, 2014 compared with the 28-week period ended July 13, 2013.

Selling and General Expenses

The increase in selling and general expenses is largely the result of a $4.4 million increase in utility costs, attributable to higher electricity commodity costs, as well as greater usage given colder than normal winter temperatures. Elevated utility costs are not expected to continue as commodity costs have returned to more normalized levels.

Administrative Expenses

The decrease in administrative expenses is due to $6.8 million of bonuses paid during the 28-week period ended July 13, 2013 to stock option holders following the May 2013 dividend, and incremental stock-based compensation expense of $3.5 million during the 2013 period associated with stock option modifications. Additionally, normal bonus expense decreased $1.3 million based upon year-to-date performance against budget metrics.

Rent Expense, Net

Rent expense reflects our rental expense for our supermarkets under operating leases, net of income we receive from various entities that rent space in our supermarkets under subleases. Rent expense remained relatively consistent during the 28-week period ended July 12, 2014 compared with the 28-week period ended July 13, 2013.

- 27 -

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization remained relatively consistent during the 28-week period ended July 12, 2014 compared with the 28-week period ended July 13, 2013.

Advertising

Advertising remained relatively consistent during the 28-week period ended July 12, 2014 compared with the 28-week period ended July 13, 2013.

Interest Expense, Net

The $8.7 million increase in interest expense is attributable to a $6.1 million increase in interest related to higher long-term debt levels, primarily the result of our May 2013 financing activities. Also, there was a $2.6 million increase in interest related to capital lease obligations due to acquisition accounting for the Management Purchase that resulted in the reset of repayment amortization schedules.

Income Tax Benefit (Expense)

The income tax benefit for the 28-week period ended July 12, 2014 primarily reflects the loss before income taxes, net of the recognition of valuation allowance associated with indefinite-lived tradename and goodwill deferred tax liabilites. The overall effective tax rate was 17.2%. The effective tax rate would have been 41.5% without the impact of the valuation allowance establishment.

The income tax expense for the 28-week period ended July 13, 2013 primarily reflects the recognition of additional valuation allowance associated with indefinite-lived tradename and goodwill deferred tax liabilities. The overall effective tax rate was (9.2)%. The effective tax rate would have been 19.5% without the impact of adjustments to the valuation allowance.

Net Loss

Our net loss increased $0.2 million during the 28-week period ended July 12, 2014 compared with the 28-week period ended July 13, 2013 for the reasons described above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary sources of cash are cash flows generated from our operations and borrowings under our 2017 ABL Facility. Our 2017 ABL Facility allows a maximum borrowing capacity of $125.0 million, subject to a borrowing base calculation, with an option for future upsizing with up to $50.0 million of incremental commitments if certain conditions are met. As of July 12, 2014, the unused availability under our 2017 ABL Facility was $37.1 million, after giving effect to the borrowing base calculation, $22.3 million of letters of credit outstanding and $50.0 million borrowings outstanding. We expect that cash generated from operations and availability under our 2017 ABL Facility will permit us to fund our debt service requirements, investments in working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. We do not expect to make dividends of significant size in the near future; however, we may pay dividends to our stockholders from time to time. Our financial flexibility will depend upon our future operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions in the grocery industry and financial, business, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. Although unforeseen, if faced with limited financial flexibility, we could readily respond through the control of variable operating expenses (for example, by adjusting employment levels) and through the scale back of planned capital expenditure and acquisition activities.

On December 1, 2013, the Management Purchase was consummated. Of the total cash consideration of $20.9 million, $4.3 million was funded through the use of available Company cash. Additionally, we incurred $15.8 million of transaction costs, of which $0.6 million had been paid as of December 28, 2013, with substantially the entire remaining amount paid during the 28-week period ended July 12, 2014. On May 15, 2013, Holding II issued the Holding II Notes. The proceeds from these notes were used to pay a $141.9 million dividend to Holding II’s former stockholders.

On December 15, 2014, semi-annual cash interest payments totaling $27.0 million are payable related to our Holding I Notes and Holding II Notes. We expect these payments will be funded through cash from operations and availability under our 2017 ABL Facility. No principal amounts are payable related to these senior notes until their respective maturities on December 15, 2017 and June 15, 2018.

Cash Flows Information

The following is a summary of cash provided by or used in each of the indicated types of activities:

(Dollars in thousands)


	28-week periods ended
	July 12, 2014			July 13, 2013
	(Successor)			(Predecessor)
Cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	27,190		$	31,727
Investing activities		(21,162	)		(33,584	)
Financing activities		(4,455	)		(2,119	)

Cash provided by operating activities for the 28-week period ended July 12, 2014 decreased $4.5 compared with the 28-week period ended July 13, 2013 due to a $5.9 million decrease in earnings, adjusted for non-cash income and expenses. This decrease was partially due to a $4.4 million increase in utility costs, primarily attributable to higher commodity costs for electricity. Additionally, we experienced a $6.1 million increase in interest expense attributable to higher long-term debt levels as a result of our May 2013 financing activities. Changes in operating assets and liabilities represented a use of cash of $2.5 million during the 28-week period ended July 12, 2014, compared with $3.9 million during the 28-week period ended July 13, 2013. We paid transaction costs of $15.2 million during the 28-week period ended July 12, 2014 related to the Management Purchase. This was largely offset by the timing of vendor payments and the resulting changes in accounts payable during the respective periods. Our cash provided by operating activities for the 28-week period ended July 12, 2014 of $27.2 million was less than our cash-based interest expense during the same period of $42.0 million due to the factors previously described.

Cash used in investing activities during the 28-week period ended July 12, 2013 decreased $12.4 million compared with the 28-week period ended July 12, 2013 due to cash consideration of $6.0 million paid in connection with the acquisition of four independent supermarkets during May 2013 and decreased capital expenditure investments. We expect to invest $35 million to $40 million in capital expenditures during Fiscal 2014, excluding potential acquisitions.

Cash used in financing activities increased $2.3 million during the 28-week period ended July 12, 2014 compared with the 28-week period ended July 13, 2013. The increase reflects an $11.6 million change in revolving credit facility activity from net borrowings of $6.8 million during the 2013 period to net repayments of $4.8 million during the 2014 period. The 2014 period also includes $4.7 million of dividends to Tops MBO Co. Largely offsetting these impacts were $12.8 million of proceeds from the sale of three supermarket locations during March 2014 as part of a sale-leaseback financing transaction.

Multiemployer Pension Plans

We contribute to the Local One plan, a defined benefit multiemployer pension plan, under our collective bargaining agreements with Local One. The Local One plan generally provides retirement benefits to participants based on their service to contributing employers. We are contingently liable for withdrawal liability in the event that we withdraw from the Local One plan. The actuary for the Local One plan has estimated that, as of December 31, 2012, our withdrawal liability would have been approximately $334.4 million in the event of our complete withdrawal from the Local One plan during the 2013 plan year. We have not yet received an estimate for a withdrawal occurring in 2014. In accordance with applicable accounting rules, our contingent withdrawal liability is not included in our consolidated financial statements. We do not intend to withdraw from the Local One plan. During the 28-week periods ended July 12, 2014 and July 13, 2013, we made contributions of $5.7 million and $5.4 million, respectively, to this plan. We are required to increase our annual contributions to the Local One plan pursuant to our current collective bargaining agreements and the Local One plan’s current rehabilitation plan.

As a result of our acquisition of Erie Logistics from C&S in December 2013, we became obligated to contribute to the New York State Teamsters Conference Pension and Retirement Fund (the “Fund”). During the 28-week period ended July 12, 2014, we tendered contributions of $2.3 million to the Fund. We are required to increase our annual contributions to the Fund pursuant to the collective bargaining agreements with Teamsters Local 264 and the Fund’s current rehabilitation plan. As discussed in Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this 10-Q, the Fund rejected and returned these payments.

We are also contingently liable for withdrawal liability in the event of a withdrawal from the Fund, which includes any withdrawal liability imposed on Erie Logistics for which C&S is jointly liable. In late January 2014, we received notice that the Fund had suspended Erie Logistics as a participating employer in the Fund pending the Fund’s investigation into the acquisition.

- 29 -

Notwithstanding the suspension, we continued to tender contributions to the Fund for the Erie Logistics associates as required by the collective bargaining agreements with Teamsters Local 264. The Fund has rejected and returned these contributions to date. We have established a separate interest bearing account to hold these contributions.

On May 27, 2014, the Fund provided notice to Erie Logistics and C&S of its determination that Erie Logistics’ incurred employer withdrawal liability as a result of the acquisition. The notice provides that Erie Logistics owes withdrawal liability of $183.7 million, payable in a lump sum or in monthly installments of $641,514 for 240 months. If it were ultimately determined that Erie Logistics incurred a withdrawal liability to the Fund, the Company would bear financial responsibility for this liability. Although we will vigorously contest the withdrawal determination, during the pendency of the proceeding to contest such determination, ERISA requires that conditional monthly payments of withdrawal liability be made that began July 28, 2014. These monthly conditional payments of withdrawal liability are in addition to pension contributions the Company may make in replacement of the contributions formerly made to the Fund for the benefit of the Erie Logistics’ associates.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our financial condition, net sales, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Inflation

Product cost inflation could vary from our estimates due to general economic conditions, weather, availability of raw materials and ingredients in the products that we sell and their packaging, and other factors beyond our control.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods.

Refer to Holding II’s audited consolidated financial statements as of December 28, 2013 for a description of certain critical accounting policies, including those related to vendor allowances, inventory valuation, valuation of tradename, valuation of long-lived assets, acquisition accounting, leases, self-insurance programs and income taxes.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We use derivative financial instruments from time to time primarily to manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and, to a lesser extent, adverse fluctuations in commodity prices and other market risks. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. As a matter of policy, all of our derivative positions are intended to reduce risk by hedging an underlying economic exposure. Because of the high correlation between the hedging instrument and the underlying exposure, fluctuations in the value of the instruments generally are offset by reciprocal changes in the value of the underlying exposure. The interest rate derivatives we use are straightforward instruments with liquid markets.

We manage our exposure to interest rates and changes in the fair value of our debt instruments primarily through the strategic use of variable and fixed rate debt, and interest rate swaps. As of July 12, 2014, we did not have any outstanding interest rate swaps designated as fair value or cash flow hedges.

The table below provides information about our outstanding debt as of July 12, 2014. The amounts shown for each year represent the contractual maturities of long-term debt, excluding capital lease obligations. Interest rates reflect the weighted average rates for the outstanding instruments. The Fair Value column includes the fair value of our debt instruments as of July 12, 2014. Refer to Note 1 of our condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this 10-Q for information about our accounting policy for financial instruments.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

There are no material changes from risk factors for the Company disclosed in the Company’s Special Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013 except as follows:

A determination that there has been a withdrawal from the New York State Teamsters Conference Pension and Retirement Fund (the “Fund”), or that the Company has violated the collective bargaining agreements with Teamsters Local 264 by failing to participate in the Fund could result in significant financial exposure to us.

On December 22, 2013, Tops Markets acquired all of the membership interests of Erie Logistics and certain other assets from C&S. Erie Logistics operates the Company’s warehouse distribution facilities located in Lancaster and Cheektowaga, New York and employs the warehouse and driver personnel at such facilities, all of whom are represented by Teamsters Local 264. Under its supply agreement with Tops Markets, C&S, through Erie Logistics, had operated the facilities since 2002.

In late January 2014, the Company received notice that the New York State Teamsters Conference Pension and Retirement Fund (the “Fund”) had suspended Erie Logistics as a participating employer in the Fund pending the Fund’s investigation into the acquisition. This suspension was retroactive to the effective date of the acquisition of Erie Logistics from C&S. During this “suspension” the Company continued to make contributions to the Fund as required by the collective bargaining agreements with Teamsters Local 264. The Fund rejected and returned these contributions. During the 28-week period ended July 12, 2014, these rejected contributions totaled $2.3 million. On May 27, 2014, the Fund provided Erie Logistics and C&S of its determination that Erie Logistics incurred employer withdrawal liability as a result of the acquisition. The notice provides that Erie Logistics owes withdrawal liability of $183.7 million, payable in a lump sum or in monthly installments of $641,514 for 240 months.

The Company believes that the Fund’s determination of a withdrawal violates ERISA, the existing participation agreements between Erie Logistics and the Fund, and the fiduciary duties of the trustees of the Fund. The Company intends to vigorously contest this determination initially through mandatory arbitration under ERISA.

The Company has not recorded any reserve for this matter as a loss is not considered probable. If it were ultimately determined that Erie Logistics has incurred a withdrawal liability withdrawal to the Fund, the Company would bear financial responsibility for the liability. Under the terms of the purchase agreement for the acquisition, and as a continuation of our prior contractual obligations, the Company retains the obligation to indemnify C&S in the event withdrawal liability is imposed on Erie Logistics for which C&S is jointly liable. During the pendency of the proceeding to contest the withdrawal determination, ERISA requires that conditional monthly payments of withdrawal liability be made, which began July 28, 2014. The monthly conditional payments of withdrawal liability are in addition to pension contributions the Company is required to make for the benefit of Erie Logistics’ associates under the collective bargaining agreements with Teamsters Local 264 which, as noted, the Fund has refused to accept.

On July 28, 2014, Teamsters Local 264 filed a grievance charging a violation of its collective bargaining agreements with the Company by reason of the Company’s failing to participate in the Fund. An adverse disposition of this grievance could have a significant impact on the Company.
