The most significant estimates used by management are related to the accounting for vendor allowances, valuation of long-lived assets including intangible assets, acquisition accounting, lease classification, self-insurance reserves, inventory valuation and income taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

	Segments																							Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand that is highly liquid with original maturities at the date of purchase of 90 days or less. As of December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, outstanding checks in excess of cash balances with the same institution totaled $2.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively. These amounts are recorded as a bank overdraft and classified as accounts payable in the consolidated balance sheets and as a financing activity in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
	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 October 5, 2013, 79 supermarkets offered pharmacy services and 49 fuel centers were in operation, inclusive of the Company’s franchise locations. 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.

																								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:
	-1	Non-perishables consist of grocery, dairy, frozen, general merchandise, health and beauty care and other non-perishable related products.																						Level 1 – observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
	-2	Perishables consist of produce, meat, seafood, bakery, deli, floral, prepared foods and other perishable related products.																						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
	-3	Other primarily consists of franchise income and service commission income, such as lottery, money orders and money transfers.																						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.
	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.																							Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, capital lease obligations 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 December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the estimated fair value and the carrying value of our debt instruments were as follows (dollars in thousands):

																								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. As described in Note 10, the Company recorded long-lived asset impairment charges of $2.8 million within the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income during Fiscal 2011. Goodwill and the Tops tradename are reviewed annually for impairment on December 1, or more frequently, if impairment indicators arise.

As of December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the LIFO balance sheet reserves were $11.1 million and $10.7 million, respectively. The Company’s inventory balances consist primarily of finished goods. Inventory costs include the purchase price of the product and freight charges to deliver the product and are net of certain cash or non-cash consideration received from vendors (see ‘‘Vendor Allowances’’).
																								Cost is determined using the retail method for inventory. Under the retail method, the valuation of inventory at cost and the resulting gross margins are determined by applying a cost-to-retail ratio for various groupings of similar items to the retail value of inventory. Inherent in the retail inventory method calculations are certain management judgments and estimates which could impact the ending inventory valuation at cost, as well as the resulting gross margins.

The fair value of the Company’s other long-term debt and capital lease obligations was based on the net present value of future cash flows using estimated applicable market interest rates for the Company at October 5, 2013 and December 29, 2012, a Level 3 measurement technique.																							Property and Equipment
	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.																							Property and equipment is stated at historical cost or, if acquired in a business acquisition, at fair value at the acquisition date, less accumulated depreciation and impairments. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the item, including shipping charges and sales tax. Interest incurred during the construction period is capitalized as part of the related asset. Expenditures for betterments are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance expenditures are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the remaining lease terms. The estimated useful lives of the principal categories of property and equipment are as follows:
																								Asset		Useful Lives
																								Land and land improvements		Indefinite
																								Buildings		30 – 40 years
																								Leasehold improvements		Lesser of 3 – 20 years or remaining lease term
																								Equipment		2 – 10 years
																								Automobiles		3 – 10 years
																								IT software and equipment		3 – 5 years
																								Long-Lived Assets
																							Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, the Company compares the carrying value of the asset or asset group to the estimated, undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the long-lived asset or asset group, as required by the provisions of ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment.” Impairment charges are recorded as the excess of the net book value over its fair value, which is calculated using the discounted cash flows associated with that asset or assets. As discussed in Note 10, the Company recorded impairment charges of $2.8 million within the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income during Fiscal 2011. There were no impairment charges recorded during Fiscal 2012 or Fiscal 2010.
																							Goodwill
																							The Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually on December 1, and also upon the occurrence of trigger events. Generally, fair value is determined using a multiple of earnings, or discounted projected future cash flows, and is compared to the carrying value of the Company for purposes of identifying potential impairment. Projected future cash flows are based on management’s knowledge of the current operating environment and expectations for the future. If potential for impairment is identified, the fair value of the Company is measured against the fair value of its underlying assets and liabilities, excluding goodwill, to estimate an implied fair value of the Company’s goodwill. Goodwill impairment is recognized for any excess of the carrying value of the Company’s goodwill over the implied fair value. There were no goodwill impairment charges recorded during Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2011 or Fiscal 2010.
																							Intangible Assets
																							The Company’s intangible assets include favorable lease rights, tradenames, franchise agreements and customer relationships. The franchise agreements consist of two franchisees which own five stores, and the customer relationships represent a source of repeat business for the Company. The fair values of the Company’s franchise agreements and customer relationships were estimated using an excess earnings income approach. The principle behind the excess earnings income approach is that the value of an intangible asset is equal to the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable to that intangible asset. Customer relationships are being amortized on an accelerated basis based upon the level of expected attrition.
																							The fair values of the tradenames were estimated by utilizing the ‘‘relief from royalty’’ method. This method involves determining the present value of the economic royalty savings associated with the tradenames and revenue projections attributed to the tradenames. The Tops tradename is not amortized due to its indefinite life. All other tradenames are being amortized on an accelerated basis based upon a brand obsolescence assumption.
																							For intangible assets, the Company amortizes the assets as presented in the table below:
																							Asset		Weighted Average Amortization Period
																							Tradename – indefinite		Indefinite life
																							Customer relationships		8.4
																							Favorable lease rights		9.8
																							Franchise agreements		11
																							Tradenames – finite		8.8
																							Other		5
																							Deferred Financing Costs
																							The Company records deferred financing costs incurred in connection with entering into its debt obligations. These costs are capitalized and included in other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The deferred financing costs are amortized to interest expense over the terms of associated debt on a straight-line basis or using the effective interest method, as appropriate. As discussed in Note 6, the Company capitalized deferred financing costs of $13.0 million and wrote off unamortized deferred financing costs of $8.3 million in connection with the Company’s December 2012 financing activities.
																							Leases
																							Classification
																							The Company leases buildings and equipment under operating and capital lease arrangements. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 840, “Leases” (“ASC 840”), the Company classifies its leases as capital leases when the lease agreement transfers substantially all risks and rewards of ownership to the Company. For leases determined to be capital leases, the asset and liability are recognized at an amount equal either to the fair value of the leased asset or the present value of the minimum lease payments during the lease term, whichever is lower. Leases that do not qualify as capital leases are classified as operating leases, and the related lease payments are expensed on a straight-line basis (taking into account rent escalation clauses) over the lease term, including, as applicable, any rent free period during which the Company has the right to use the asset. For leases with renewal options where the renewal is reasonably assured, the lease term is used to (i) determine the appropriate lease classification, (ii) compute periodic rental expense and (iii) depreciate leasehold improvements (unless their economic lives are shorter) includes the periods of expected renewals. Determining whether a lease is a capital or an operating lease requires judgment on various aspects that include the fair value of the leased asset, the economic life of the leased asset, whether or not to include renewal options in the lease term and determining an appropriate discount rate to calculate the present value of the minimum lease payments.
																							Operating Leases
																							Store lease agreements generally include rent holidays, rent escalation clauses and contingent rent provisions for a percentage of sales in excess of specified levels. Most of the Company’s lease agreements include renewal periods at the Company’s option. The Company recognizes rent holiday periods and scheduled rent increases on a straight-line basis over the lease term beginning with the date the Company takes possession of the leased space for construction and other purposes. The Company records tenant improvement allowances and rent holidays as deferred rent liabilities which are amortized over the related lease terms to rent expense. The Company records rent liabilities for contingent percentage of sales lease provisions when it is probable that the specified levels will be reached during the fiscal year.
																							Lease Incentives
																							For leases classified as operating leases, the Company recognizes rent starting when possession of the property is taken from the landlord, which normally includes a construction period prior to store opening. Payments made to the Company representing incentives to sign a new lease or representing reimbursements for leasehold improvements are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease as reductions of rent expense. Such payments received for leases classified as capital leases are recorded as increases to the related capital leases obligations, reducing the portion of future rent payments classified as interest expense.
																							Rental Income
																							For certain properties, the Company subleases either a portion or all of the property. The sublease income of the properties is recognized as rental income. In certain cases, the Company subleases store locations to third parties. Rental income was $4.2 million, $3.5 million and $3.4 million for Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2011 and Fiscal 2010, respectively, and is recorded as an offset to rent expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income.
																							Asset Retirement Obligations
																							Asset retirement obligations (“AROs”) are legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets (i.g., gas tank removal and removal of store equipment upon store closure). These liabilities are initially recorded at fair value and the related asset retirement costs are capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related assets by the same amount as the liability in accordance with the provisions of ASC 410, “Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations.” Asset retirement costs are subsequently depreciated over the useful lives of the related assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Company records changes in the ARO liability resulting from the passage of time and revisions to either the timing or the amount of the original estimate of undiscounted cash flows. The Company derecognizes ARO liabilities when the related obligations are settled. The ARO liabilities recognized at December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were $3.3 million and $2.6 million, respectively. Accretion expense attributable to ARO liabilities was $0.2 million during Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2011 and Fiscal 2010 (see Note 15).
																							Guarantees
																							The Company has been party to a variety of contractual agreements under which it may be obligated to indemnify the other party for certain matters. Additionally, the Company guarantees certain other contractual arrangements. Under these agreements, the Company may provide certain routine indemnifications relating to representations and warranties (i.g., ownership of assets and environmental or tax indemnifications). The terms of these indemnifications range in duration and may not be explicitly defined.
																							The Company has applied the provisions of ASC 460, “Guarantees” to its agreements that contain guarantee or indemnification clauses. These provisions require the Company to recognize and disclose certain types of guarantees, even if the likelihood of requiring the Company’s performance is remote. Historically, the Company has not been required to make payments related to its agreements that contain guarantee or indemnification clauses.
																							Insurance Programs
																							The Company is insured by a third-party carrier, subject to certain deductibles and self-insured retentions ranging from $0.1 million to $1.0 million. The Company maintains an insurance program covering primarily fleet, general liability inclusive of druggist liability, workers’ compensation, property, environmental and other executive insurance policies. The Company accrues an estimated ultimate liability for its insurance programs based on known claims and past claims history. These accruals are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
																							Employee Benefits
																							The Company accounts for its participation in a multiemployer pension plan by recognizing as net pension cost the required contributions for the period and recognizing as a liability any contributions due and unpaid (see Note 14).
																							Revenue Recognition
																							The Company generates and recognizes revenue at the point of sale in its stores, net of sales tax collected. Discounts, earned by customers through agreements or by using their bonus or loyalty cards, are recorded by the Company as a reduction of revenue as they are earned by the customer. Franchise revenue consists of net revenue on wholesale sales to franchisees, and income from franchise fees and administrative fees. Franchise revenues were $4.2 million, $4.1 million and $3.8 million for Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2011, and Fiscal 2010, respectively, and are included in net sales in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income.
																							For certain products or services, such as the sales of lottery tickets, third-party prepaid phone cards, third-party gift cards, stamps and public transportation tickets, the Company acts as an agent. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition” (“ASC 605”), the Company records the amount of the net margin or commission in its net sales. Commission income was $2.7 million, $2.2 million and $2.0 million for Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2011, and Fiscal 2010, respectively, and is included in net sales in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income.
																							The Company records a deferred revenue liability when it sells gift cards, recording revenue when customers redeem the gift cards. These gift cards do not expire. The Company has completed an analysis of the historical redemption patterns of gift cards. As a result of this analysis, the Company has determined that the likelihood of redemption after two years is remote. Therefore, the Company reduces the liability and recognizes ‘‘breakage’’ income for the unused portion of gift cards after two years. The Company recognized pre-tax gift card breakage income of $0.3 million, $0.2 million and $0.3 million during Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2011 and Fiscal 2010, respectively.
																							Cost of Goods Sold and Distribution Costs
																							Cost of goods sold and distribution costs include the purchase price of products sold and other costs incurred in bringing inventories to the location and condition ready for sale, including costs of purchasing, storing and transportation. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 605, cash consideration received from vendors is recognized as a reduction of cost of goods sold. During Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2011 and Fiscal 2010, depreciation expense of $2.9 million, $3.4 million and $3.5 million, respectively, is included in distribution costs in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income.
																							Vendor Allowances
																							The Company receives allowances from many of the vendors whose products the Company buys for resale in its stores. Allowances are received for a variety of merchandising activities, which consist of the inclusion of vendor products in the Company’s advertising, placement of vendor products in prominent locations in the Company’s stores, introduction of new products, exclusivity rights for certain categories of products and temporary price reductions offered to customers on products held for sale. The Company also receives vendor funds associated with buying activities such as volume purchase rebates and rebates for purchases made during specific periods.
																							The Company records a receivable for vendor allowances for which the Company has fulfilled its contractual commitments but has not yet received payment from the vendor. When payment for vendor allowances is received prior to fulfillment of contractual terms or before the programs necessary to earn such allowances are initiated, the Company records such amounts as deferred income or vendor funds received in advance, respectively, which are classified within accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Once all contractual commitments have been met, the Company records vendor allowances as a reduction of the cost of inventory. Accordingly, when the inventory is sold, the vendor allowances are recognized as a reduction of the cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income.
																							The amount of vendor allowances reducing the Company’s inventory (“inventory offset”) as of December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $1.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively.
																							Selling and General Expenses
																							Selling and general expenses consist of repairs and maintenance charges, utilities, supplies, real estate taxes, insurance, bank and credit card fees and other general expenses. Depreciation expense included in selling and general expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income was $0.2 million during Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2011 and Fiscal 2010.
																							Administrative Expenses
																							Administrative expenses consist of charges for services performed by outside vendors, salaries and wages of support office employees, rent and depreciation of support offices and assets, and other administrative expenses. During Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2011 and Fiscal 2010, depreciation expense of $11.4 million, $11.5 million and $10.4 million, respectively, was included in administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income.
																							Effective December 28, 2012, following the December 20, 2012 dividend (see Note 12), the Company awarded payments to holders of stock options under the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan in amounts equal to the difference between the per share dividend paid to shareholders and the reductions in exercise prices associated with the stock options (see Note 12). The payments totaled $5.0 million and were recorded within administrative expenses in the Fiscal 2012 consolidated statement of comprehensive (loss) income.
																							Advertising
																							Advertising includes newspaper inserts, direct mail and radio commercials, promotional prizes, as well as the expenses of the Company’s advertising department. The Company recognizes advertising expenses as incurred.
																							Income Taxes
																							Tops Markets is a single member LLC whose operations are included in the Holding tax return, as Tops Markets is a disregarded entity for income tax purposes. The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, including net operating loss carry forwards, and are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. The Company uses the provisions of ASC 740 to assess and record income tax uncertainties. In relation to recording the provision for income taxes, management must estimate the future tax rates applicable to the reversal of temporary differences, make certain assumptions regarding whether book/tax differences are permanent or temporary and if temporary, the related timing of expected reversal. Also, estimates are made as to whether taxable operating income in future periods will be sufficient to fully recognize any gross deferred tax assets. If recovery is not likely, the Company must increase its provision for taxes by recording a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets that the Company estimates will not ultimately be recoverable. Alternatively, the Company may make estimates about the potential usage of deferred tax assets that decrease its valuation allowances. Tax positions are recognized when they are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not of being realized upon settlement. The Company is subject to periodic audits by the Internal Revenue Service and other foreign, state and local taxing authorities. These audits may challenge certain of the Company’s tax positions such as the timing and amount of income and deductions and the allocation of taxable income to various tax jurisdictions. The Company evaluates its tax positions and establishes liabilities in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance on uncertainty in income taxes. These tax uncertainties are reviewed as facts and circumstances change and are adjusted accordingly. This requires significant management judgment in estimating final outcomes. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates and could significantly affect the Company’s effective tax rate and cash flows in future years. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.
																							Stock-Based Compensation
																							The Company applies the Black-Scholes valuation model at the date of grant to determine the fair value of stock options granted to participants. The fair value of stock options are then amortized on a straight-line basis to compensation expense over the applicable vesting period, which is generally between three and five years. Compensation expense is recognized only for those options expected to vest, with forfeiture estimates based on the Company’s historical experience and future expectations. The Company’s outstanding stock options represent non-qualified stock options for income tax purposes. As such, the stock option grants result in the creation of a deferred tax asset until the time that such stock option is exercised.
																							Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
																							There are no recent accounting pronouncements that have had or are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of the date of this report.
																							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 December 29, 2012, 78 supermarkets offered pharmacy services and 47 fuel centers were in operation, inclusive of the Company’s franchise locations. As a result of recent acquisition activity, including the GU Acquisition, the Company reevaluated its conclusions regarding its operating and reportable segments. 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 believes the acquisition creates significant strategic value due to the expansion it provides to the Company’s supermarket base with minimal incremental general and administrative expenses.
	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. The fair value of inventory was determined based upon the Company’s estimated replacement cost. The 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 fair value of land was determined using the market approach. The fair values of intangible assets were primarily determined using the income approach which, for the tradenames, is based upon the present value of the economic royalty savings associated with the tradenames and revenue projections attributed to the tradenames. Tradenames are being amortized on an accelerated basis based upon a brand obsolescence assumption.

	The Company entered into 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. As a result, the transactions have been classified as financing transactions in accordance with ASC 840.
	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 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. The related land assets are not depreciated, and at the end of the lease terms, the remaining capital lease obligations will equal the net book value of the land. The capital lease obligations as of December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011 include $48.8 million of obligations related to land. 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 and obligations will be removed from the balance sheet, with no underlying cash payments.
	The Company incurred rental expense related to operating leases associated with its supermarkets of $25.4 million, $22.3 million and $22.5 million, net of sublease rental income of $4.2 million, $3.5 million and $3.4 million during Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2011 and Fiscal 2010, respectively, that is included in rent expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income. In addition, the Company incurred rental expense related to equipment recorded in selling and general expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income of $0.4 million, $0.8 million and $0.7 million during Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2011 and Fiscal 2010, respectively. The Company also incurred rental expense related to equipment and office rent recorded in administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income of $1.4 million, $2.1 million and $2.1 million during Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2011 and Fiscal 2010, respectively.

	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 stockholders. The Holding II Notes mature June 15, 2018 and require semi-annual interest payments on June 15 and December 15 beginning on December 15, 2013. To the extent permitted by the agreements governing the Holding I Notes (see below) and the 2017 ABL Facility (see below), Holding I is expected to 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 Issuers’ 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.							During Fiscal 2009, the Company and Tops Markets (collectively, the “Issuers”) issued $275.0 million of senior secured notes, bearing interest of 10.125% (the “2015 Notes”). During Fiscal 2010, the Issuers issued an additional $75.0 million of 2015 Notes on the same terms as the Fiscal 2009 issuance. The 2015 Notes were scheduled to mature October 15, 2015.
	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”).							On December 20, 2012, the Issuers issued $460.0 million of senior secured notes, bearing interest of 8.875% (the “2017 Notes”). The proceeds from the 2017 Notes were used to redeem the 2015 Notes, pay a $100.0 million dividend to the Company’s shareholders and pay fees and expenses related to the notes issuance. The 2017 Notes mature December 15, 2017 and require semi-annual interest payments on June 15 and December 15 beginning on June 15, 2013. The 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 notes at a specified “make-whole” premium.
	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 future upsizing with up to $50.0 million of additional commitments if certain conditions are met. The borrowing base includes inventory, pharmacy prescription files and certain receivables. The 2017 ABL Facility will mature on December 14, 2017.							Also on December 20, 2012, the Company satisfied and discharged its obligations under the 2015 Notes by depositing $377.3 million in irrevocable trust to repay the $350.0 million notes, and pay a $17.7 million redemption premium and $9.6 million of unpaid interest calculated through January 22, 2013, the settlement date of the redemption with bondholders. The redemption premium, prepaid interest for the period between the December 20, 2012 discharge date and the January 22, 2013 settlement date of $3.2 million, the write off of unamortized deferred financing costs of $7.8 million (see Note 6) and the write off of the unamortized net discount on the 2015 Notes of $2.0 million were recorded within loss on debt extinguishment in the Fiscal 2012 consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.
	Based upon the borrowing base calculation as of October 5, 2013, the unused availability under the 2017 ABL Facility was $46.6 million, after giving effect to $15.4 million of letters of credit outstanding thereunder. As of December 29, 2012, $14.8 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 October 5, 2013 and December 29, 2012, the effective interest rates on borrowings under the 2017 ABL Facility were 2.07% and 2.06%, 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 2017 Notes are collateralized by (i) first priority interests, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens, in the stock held by the Issuers 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 2017 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 “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”).
	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.
								During Fiscal 2009, Tops Markets entered into an asset-based revolving credit facility (the “2013 ABL Facility”), which was scheduled to expire on October 9, 2013. The 2013 ABL Facility, as amended, allowed a maximum borrowing capacity of $100.0 million, including a sub-limit for the issuance of letters of credit, subject to a borrowing base calculation. Based upon the borrowing base calculation as of December 31, 2011, the unused availability under the 2013 ABL Facility was $70.4 million, after giving effect to $13.1 million of letters of credit outstanding thereunder.
								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 future upsizing with up to $50.0 million of incremental commitments if certain conditions are met. The borrowing base includes inventory, pharmacy prescription files and certain receivables. The 2017 ABL Facility will mature on or before December 14, 2017.
								Based upon the borrowing base calculation as of December 29, 2012, the unused availability under the 2017 ABL Facility was $54.5 million, after giving effect to $14.8 million of letters of credit outstanding thereunder. 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 December 29, 2012, the effective interest rate on borrowings under the 2017 ABL Facility was 2.06%.

	The income tax expense for the 12-week period ended October 5, 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 158.8%. The effective tax rate would have been (1,826.4)% without the impact of adjustments to the valuation allowance.

										The Company has U.S. federal and state net operating losses of $59.1 million and $50.0 million, respectively, which expire beginning in 2027. In addition, the Company has federal tax credits of $3.2 million which expire beginning in 2027.
										The Company has performed the required assessment of positive and negative evidence regarding the realization of the net deferred income tax assets in accordance with ASC 740. The Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing temporary differences, projected future taxable income and recent financial operations, to determine whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance is needed for some portion or all of a net deferred income tax asset. Judgment is used in considering the relative impact of negative and positive evidence. In arriving at these judgments, the weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence is commensurate with the extent to which such evidence can be objectively verified. In evaluating the objective evidence provided by historical results, the Company considers the past three years.
										Based on an assessment of the available positive and negative evidence, including the Company’s historical results, the Company determined that there are uncertainties relating to its ability to utilize the net deferred tax assets. In recognition of these uncertainties, the Company provided a valuation allowance of $13.9 million on the net deferred income tax assets during Fiscal 2009. During Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2011 and Fiscal 2010, the Company established additional valuation allowance of $10.5 million, $0.2 million and $11.9 million, respectively, with offsetting charges to income tax expense (benefit). Additionally, during Fiscal 2012, the Company established additional valuation allowance of $1.5 million related to amounts recorded in other comprehensive loss. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that it can realize its deferred tax assets in the future, the Company will make an adjustment to the valuation allowance.
										During 2007, the Company adopted new standards for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. As of the adoption, the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions, including positions impacting only the timing of tax benefits, was $0.9 million. In connection with the completion of the IRS’s examination of the Company’s federal income tax returns for the 2007 and 2008 tax years, this unrecognized tax benefit was settled during Fiscal 2010, with no resulting income tax amounts payable. As part of the settlement, the Company paid interest and penalties of $0.2 million, which was accrued during Fiscal 2008 and Fiscal 2009. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. The Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits during Fiscal 2012 and Fiscal 2011, and the Company does not expect significant unrecognized tax benefits over the next twelve months.
										The Company files U.S. federal income tax returns and income tax returns in various state jurisdictions. The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for tax years 2009 and beyond remain subject to examination by the IRS. State returns remain subject to examination for tax years 2007 and beyond depending on each state’s statute of limitations.

12. SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

On May 15, 2013, the Company paid a dividend to its shareholders totaling $141.9 million, or $980 per share.

Effective January 27, 2010, the Board of Directors increased the number of common shares that the Company has the authority to issue from 200,000 shares to 300,000 shares. On January 29, 2010, the Company received $30.0 million of proceeds from the issuance of 44,776 shares of common stock to its shareholders. On July 26, 2010, the Company paid a dividend to its shareholders totaling $30.0 million, or $207.22 per share of common stock outstanding. On December 20, 2012, the Company paid a dividend to its shareholders totaling $100.0 million, or $690.72 per share of common stock outstanding.

Effective May 14, 2013, Holding I’s Board of Directors accelerated the vesting of stock options granted under its 2007 Stock Incentive Plan such that all outstanding and unvested stock options became immediately and fully vested. The 11,340 total outstanding stock options were then contributed by the option holders to Holding II in exchange for options to acquire shares of common stock of Holding II. Following the May 15, 2013 Holding II dividend, the exercise prices of all outstanding stock options were reduced by $380, from $400 to $20 per share. As a result of the acceleration of vesting and exercise price reductions of outstanding stock options, the Company recognized incremental stock-based compensation expense of $3.3 million within administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive (loss) income during the 40-week period ended October 5, 2013.

Effective January 24, 2008, the Company adopted the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (‘‘Stock Plan’’) pursuant to which the Company’s Board of Directors, or a committee appointed by the Board of Directors (‘‘Committee’’), may grant at its discretion non-qualified stock options to directors, employees, consultants or independent contractors of the Company. Under the terms of the stock options granted to date, options that have not vested prior to a participant’s termination of employment with the Company are forfeited. The Stock Plan reserves 13,600 shares of common stock for issuance under the plan.

On May 16, 2013, following the May 15, 2013 dividend, the Company awarded make-whole payments to holders of stock options under the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan in amounts of $600 per stock option, representing the difference between the per share dividend paid to Holding II stockholders and the reduction in the exercise price of the stock options. These payments, totaling $6.8 million, were recorded within administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive (loss) income during the 40-week period ended October 5, 2013. Additionally, between May 20 and May 22, 2013, all outstanding stock options were exercised, which resulted in cash proceeds of $0.2 million.

Stock options generally vest over a period of three to five years, and expire ten years from the grant date. Awards granted may be subject to other vesting terms as determined by the Committee. For stock options granted to date, the payments of the option prices are to be made in cash. In addition, an option holder will be required to satisfy the tax liability associated with the exercise of stock options by a method provided in the Stock Plan, as directed by the Committee.

Effective December 28, 2012, following the December 20, 2012 dividend, the Company reduced the exercise price of 4,645 stock option grants, representing all outstanding options with exercise prices in excess of $400, to $400 per share. No other terms of the awards were modified. The exercise price reductions resulted in an expected $0.6 million of incremental stock-based compensation expense, of which $0.3 million was recorded during Fiscal 2012. The remaining $0.3 million is expected to be recorded over the remaining vesting periods of the awards.

The intrinsic value is calculated based on the difference between the weighted average exercise price per share and the fair market value of the Company’s common stock as of December 29, 2012 of $472 per share.

Compensation expense recognized in connection with the Stock Plan amounted to $1.1 million, $1.1 million and $0.7 million for Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2011 and Fiscal 2010, respectively, and is included in administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income.

The Company determines the fair value of each option award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The determination of fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires a number of complex and subjective variables. Key assumptions in the Black-Scholes option pricing model include the value of the common stock, the expected life, expected volatility of the stock, the risk-free interest rate, and estimated forfeitures. The value of the common stock related to the current year option grants was determined by management with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm. The estimated life was equal to the award’s expected term which was estimated using the simplified method. Expected stock price volatility was based on the expected volatility of a peer group that had actively traded stock during the period immediately preceding the share-based award grant. The risk-free rate of interest was based on the zero coupon U.S. Treasury rates appropriate for the expected term of the award. Estimated forfeitures are based on historical data, as well as management’s current expectations, the Company does not expect any forfeitures.

For options granted during Fiscal 2010, the weighted average fair values of the stock options granted, estimated on the dates of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, were $407.07 using the following assumptions.

The Company’s outstanding stock options represent non-qualified stock options for income tax purposes. As such, the stock option grants result in the creation of a deferred tax asset until the time that such stock option is exercised.

The total unrecognized non-vested stock-based compensation expense relating to the options is $1.3 million at December 29, 2012, with $0.7 million expected to be recorded as compensation expense in Fiscal 2013. The remaining weighted average vesting period for the stock options is 1.5 years at December 29, 2012.

	Defined Benefit Plans
	Certain former members of management of Tops Markets receive benefits under a nonqualified, unfunded supplemental executive retirement plan (“SERP”). In addition, the Company maintains post-employment benefit plans providing life insurance, disability and medical benefits for certain employees which are included in other post-retirement plans.
	The components of net pension cost related to the SERP and other post-retirement plans are as follows (dollars in thousands):
			Fiscal 2012				Fiscal 2011			Fiscal 2010

	Additionally, net actuarial losses of $1.9 million and $1.4 million related to the SERP were included in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Net actuarial (loss) gain of $(1.6) million and $0.2 million related to other post-retirement plans were included in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
	Discount rate assumptions used to determine benefit obligations are as follows:
	SERP									Other Post-Retirement Plans
	December 29, 2012				December 31, 2011					December 29, 2012			December 31, 2011

	SERP			3.4	%			4.7	%		4.9	%
	Other post-retirement plans			4.1	%			4.7	%		5.2	%
	The measurement date for the SERP and other post-retirement plans was December 31, 2012.
	For guidance in determining the discount rate, the Company calculates the implied rate of return by matching the cash flows from the plans to a yield curve of returns available on high-quality corporate bonds at the measurement date. The discount rate assumption is reviewed annually and revised as deemed appropriate. After the purchase of Tops by Holding, the Company ceased participation in the SERP and other post-retirement plans.
	Assumed health care cost trend rates used in the calculation of benefit obligations related to the medical benefits portion of other post-retirement plans are as follows:
			December 29, 2012				December 31, 2011
	Initial health care cost trend rate			6.5	%			7	%
	Ultimate health care cost trend rate			5	%			5	%
	Year to reach ultimate trend rate			2016				2016
	Other Benefit Plans
	During 2008, the Company established a defined contribution 401(k) plan that provides that under certain circumstances the Company will make matching contributions of up to 100% of the first 3%, and 50% of the next 2%, of a participant’s eligible compensation. The Company incurred $2.5 million, $2.5 million and $2.1 million of expense related to this 401(k) plan during Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2011 and Fiscal 2010, respectively.
	Multiemployer Pension Plan
	The Company contributes to the Local One plan, a defined benefit multiemployer pension plan, covering union-represented employees under its collective bargaining agreements with Local One. The Local One plan generally provides retirement benefits to participants based on their years of service to contributing employers. The retirement benefits provided by the Local One plan are generally not negotiated by participating employers. During Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2011 and Fiscal 2010, the Company made contributions of $9.4 million, $8.9 million and $8.3 million, respectively, to this plan. The risks of participating in a multiemployer pension plan are different from a single-employer pension plan in the following respects:
a)	Assets contributed to the multiemployer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers;
b)	If a participating employer stops contributing to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers; and
c)	If the Company stops participating in the multiemployer pension plan, it may be required to pay the plan an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan, referred to as a withdrawal liability.
The Company’s participation in this plan is outlined in the following table. The “EIN / Plan Number” column provides the Employer Identification Number, or EIN, and the Plan Number. The most recent Pension Protection Act Zone Status available in 2012 and 2011 is for the Local One plan’s years ending December 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010, respectively. The zone status is based on information that the Company received from the plan. Among other factors, generally, plans in critical status (“red zone”) are less than 65 percent funded, plans in endangered or seriously endangered status (“yellow zone” or “orange zone”, respectively) are less than 80 percent funded, and plans at least 80 percent funded are said to be in the “green zone.” The “FIP/RP Status Pending / Implemented” column indicates plans for which a funding improvement plan, or FIP, or a rehabilitation plan, or RP, is either pending or has been implemented by the trustees of the plan.

	On November 14, 2013, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Tops MBO Corporation (“Tops MBO”) and the sellers party thereto pursuant to which Tops MBO will acquire substantially all of the outstanding shares of the Company (“the “Acquisition”). Tops MBO is owned and controlled by the current management team of the Company. Total consideration for the outstanding shares is estimated $681 million and includes the assumption of all of the Company’s assets and liabilities including outstanding debt, as of the closing date.	Effective March 8, 2013, Tops Markets entered into an asset purchase agreement for the acquisition of four independent supermarkets for an estimated purchase price of $7.0 million. The transaction is expected to close during the Company’s second quarter of Fiscal 2013.
	Also on November 14, 2013, the Company announced that it is soliciting holders of its Holding I Notes for their contents to amend the indenture governing the Holding I Notes (as amended, the “Indenture”) so that consummation of the Acquisition does not constitute a “Change of Control” (as defined in the Indenture) (the “Consent Solicitation”). Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, if a Change of Control occurs, holders of the Holding I Notes will have the right to require the Company to purchase any or all of their Holding I Notes at a price of 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus any accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the date of purchase. Also, on November 14, 2013, the Company commenced an offer to purchase the Holding I Notes in accordance with the terms of the Indenture (the “Offer”), conditioned on the consummation of the Acquisition. If the Consent Solicitation is successful, the Company intends to terminate the Offer. In addition, the Company has received consents from the lenders under its 2017 ABL Facility to the Acquisition. In connection with the Acquisition, the Company may pay various fees and expenses in an approximate amount of $15.0 million, which will be funded with borrowings under its 2017 ABL Facility, and may use up to $5.0 million of cash on hand to repurchase outstanding capital stock of the Company.	The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (“the Act”) was signed into law on January 2, 2013. The Act retroactively restored several expired business tax provisions, including certain bonus depreciation and the Work Opportunity Tax Credit as of January 1, 2012, with a new expiration date of December 31, 2013. Because a change in tax law is accounted for in the period of enactment, the retroactive effect renewing certain bonus depreciation and the Work Opportunity Tax Credit for 2012 is not reflected in the Company’s Fiscal 2012 income tax expense. Instead, an estimated benefit of $1.0 million related to additional bonus depreciation will be recorded as a discrete item in the Company’s first quarter of Fiscal 2013. The Company has not yet quantified the effect of the restoration of the Work Opportunity Tax Credit.
	The Acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including the Company having either received the requisite consents in the Consent Solicitation or drawing on a credit facility for which it has received a customary commitment from Bank of America, N.A. to finance its purchase obligations pursuant to the Offer, and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2013.
	The Acquisition will be accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations.” Due to the proximity of the timing of signing the definitive purchase agreement and the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the initial allocation of the cost of the acquisition to assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the close of the Acquisition has not been completed. The Company will engage the assistance of an independent third-party appraiser to assist with the valuation of the tangible and intangible assets acquired. The purchase price allocations will be finalized within twelve months of the closing of the Acquisition. The more significant identifiable assets expected to be allocated value include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, and intangible assets including tradenames, customer relationships, franchise agreements and favorable/unfavorable lease rights. It is expected that the purchase price will exceed the fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities, with such excess allocated to goodwill.

Capital Lease Obligations	'
	6. 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 2032, 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 October 5, 2013, future minimum lease rental payments applicable to capital lease obligations follow (dollars in thousands):
	2013 (remaining period)	$	6,730
	2014		28,137

	Long-term cash obligations		90,875
	Obligations related to land with no cash payments		48,829
	Total long-term capital lease obligations	$	139,704
	The Company entered into 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. As a result, the transactions have been classified as financing transactions in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 840, “Leases.”
	Under the financing method, the assets remain on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and proceeds received by the Company from these transactions are recorded as capital lease obligations, allocated between land 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. The related land assets are not depreciated, and at the end of the lease terms, the remaining capital lease obligations will equal the net book value of the land. These capital lease obligations are reflected as obligations related to land with no cash payments in the preceding table. 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 and obligations will be removed from the balance sheet, with no underlying cash payments.

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.

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows Supplemental Disclosures

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand that is highly liquid with original maturities at the date of purchase of 90 days or less. As of December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, outstanding checks in excess of cash balances with the same institution totaled $2.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively. These amounts are recorded as a bank overdraft and classified as accounts payable in the consolidated balance sheets and as a financing activity in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Concentration of Credit Risk

'

'

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash in commercial banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), up to $250,000 per depositor. At times, such cash in banks exceeds the FDIC insurance limit. At December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had cash in banks exceeding the FDIC insurance limit of $11.6 million and $2.6 million, respectively.

Accounts Receivable

'

'

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are carried at net realizable value. Allowances are recorded, if necessary, in an amount considered by management to be sufficient to meet future losses related to the collectability of accounts receivable. The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable based on the age of the receivable and knowledge of customers’ financial positions. At December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

The fair value of the Company’s senior notes, 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 and capital lease obligations was based on the net present value of future cash flows using estimated applicable market interest rates for the Company at October 5, 2013 and December 29, 2012, 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.

Long-lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using Level 3 inputs. As described in Note 10, the Company recorded long-lived asset impairment charges of $2.8 million within the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income during Fiscal 2011. Goodwill and the Tops tradename are reviewed annually for impairment on December 1, or more frequently, if impairment indicators arise.

Inventory

'

'

Inventory

The Company values inventory at the lower of cost or market using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. As of December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the LIFO balance sheet reserves were $11.1 million and $10.7 million, respectively. The Company’s inventory balances consist primarily of finished goods. Inventory costs include the purchase price of the product and freight charges to deliver the product and are net of certain cash or non-cash consideration received from vendors (see ‘‘Vendor Allowances’’).

Cost is determined using the retail method for inventory. Under the retail method, the valuation of inventory at cost and the resulting gross margins are determined by applying a cost-to-retail ratio for various groupings of similar items to the retail value of inventory. Inherent in the retail inventory method calculations are certain management judgments and estimates which could impact the ending inventory valuation at cost, as well as the resulting gross margins.

Physical inventory counts are taken on a cycle basis. The Company records an estimated inventory shrinkage reserve for the period between each store’s last physical inventory and the latest consolidated balance sheet date.

Property and Equipment

'

'

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at historical cost or, if acquired in a business acquisition, at fair value at the acquisition date, less accumulated depreciation and impairments. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the item, including shipping charges and sales tax. Interest incurred during the construction period is capitalized as part of the related asset. Expenditures for betterments are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance expenditures are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the remaining lease terms. The estimated useful lives of the principal categories of property and equipment are as follows:

Asset

Useful Lives

Land and land improvements

Indefinite

Buildings

30 – 40 years

Leasehold improvements

Lesser of 3 – 20 years or remaining lease term

Equipment

2 – 10 years

Automobiles

3 – 10 years

IT software and equipment

3 – 5 years

Long-Lived Assets

'

'

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, the Company compares the carrying value of the asset or asset group to the estimated, undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the long-lived asset or asset group, as required by the provisions of ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment.” Impairment charges are recorded as the excess of the net book value over its fair value, which is calculated using the discounted cash flows associated with that asset or assets. As discussed in Note 10, the Company recorded impairment charges of $2.8 million within the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income during Fiscal 2011. There were no impairment charges recorded during Fiscal 2012 or Fiscal 2010.

Goodwill

'

'

Goodwill

The Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually on December 1, and also upon the occurrence of trigger events. Generally, fair value is determined using a multiple of earnings, or discounted projected future cash flows, and is compared to the carrying value of the Company for purposes of identifying potential impairment. Projected future cash flows are based on management’s knowledge of the current operating environment and expectations for the future. If potential for impairment is identified, the fair value of the Company is measured against the fair value of its underlying assets and liabilities, excluding goodwill, to estimate an implied fair value of the Company’s goodwill. Goodwill impairment is recognized for any excess of the carrying value of the Company’s goodwill over the implied fair value. There were no goodwill impairment charges recorded during Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2011 or Fiscal 2010.

Intangible Assets

'

'

Intangible Assets

The Company’s intangible assets include favorable lease rights, tradenames, franchise agreements and customer relationships. The franchise agreements consist of two franchisees which own five stores, and the customer relationships represent a source of repeat business for the Company. The fair values of the Company’s franchise agreements and customer relationships were estimated using an excess earnings income approach. The principle behind the excess earnings income approach is that the value of an intangible asset is equal to the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable to that intangible asset. Customer relationships are being amortized on an accelerated basis based upon the level of expected attrition.

The fair values of the tradenames were estimated by utilizing the ‘‘relief from royalty’’ method. This method involves determining the present value of the economic royalty savings associated with the tradenames and revenue projections attributed to the tradenames. The Tops tradename is not amortized due to its indefinite life. All other tradenames are being amortized on an accelerated basis based upon a brand obsolescence assumption.

For intangible assets, the Company amortizes the assets as presented in the table below:

Deferred Financing Costs

'

'

Deferred Financing Costs

The Company records deferred financing costs incurred in connection with entering into its debt obligations. These costs are capitalized and included in other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The deferred financing costs are amortized to interest expense over the terms of associated debt on a straight-line basis or using the effective interest method, as appropriate. As discussed in Note 6, the Company capitalized deferred financing costs of $13.0 million and wrote off unamortized deferred financing costs of $8.3 million in connection with the Company’s December 2012 financing activities.

The Company leases buildings and equipment under operating and capital lease arrangements. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 840, “Leases” (“ASC 840”), the Company classifies its leases as capital leases when the lease agreement transfers substantially all risks and rewards of ownership to the Company. For leases determined to be capital leases, the asset and liability are recognized at an amount equal either to the fair value of the leased asset or the present value of the minimum lease payments during the lease term, whichever is lower. Leases that do not qualify as capital leases are classified as operating leases, and the related lease payments are expensed on a straight-line basis (taking into account rent escalation clauses) over the lease term, including, as applicable, any rent free period during which the Company has the right to use the asset. For leases with renewal options where the renewal is reasonably assured, the lease term is used to (i) determine the appropriate lease classification, (ii) compute periodic rental expense and (iii) depreciate leasehold improvements (unless their economic lives are shorter) includes the periods of expected renewals. Determining whether a lease is a capital or an operating lease requires judgment on various aspects that include the fair value of the leased asset, the economic life of the leased asset, whether or not to include renewal options in the lease term and determining an appropriate discount rate to calculate the present value of the minimum lease payments.

Operating Leases

Store lease agreements generally include rent holidays, rent escalation clauses and contingent rent provisions for a percentage of sales in excess of specified levels. Most of the Company’s lease agreements include renewal periods at the Company’s option. The Company recognizes rent holiday periods and scheduled rent increases on a straight-line basis over the lease term beginning with the date the Company takes possession of the leased space for construction and other purposes. The Company records tenant improvement allowances and rent holidays as deferred rent liabilities which are amortized over the related lease terms to rent expense. The Company records rent liabilities for contingent percentage of sales lease provisions when it is probable that the specified levels will be reached during the fiscal year.

Lease Incentives

For leases classified as operating leases, the Company recognizes rent starting when possession of the property is taken from the landlord, which normally includes a construction period prior to store opening. Payments made to the Company representing incentives to sign a new lease or representing reimbursements for leasehold improvements are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease as reductions of rent expense. Such payments received for leases classified as capital leases are recorded as increases to the related capital leases obligations, reducing the portion of future rent payments classified as interest expense.

Rental Income

For certain properties, the Company subleases either a portion or all of the property. The sublease income of the properties is recognized as rental income. In certain cases, the Company subleases store locations to third parties. Rental income was $4.2 million, $3.5 million and $3.4 million for Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2011 and Fiscal 2010, respectively, and is recorded as an offset to rent expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income.

Asset Retirement Obligations

'

'

Asset Retirement Obligations

Asset retirement obligations (“AROs”) are legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets (i.g., gas tank removal and removal of store equipment upon store closure). These liabilities are initially recorded at fair value and the related asset retirement costs are capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related assets by the same amount as the liability in accordance with the provisions of ASC 410, “Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations.” Asset retirement costs are subsequently depreciated over the useful lives of the related assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Company records changes in the ARO liability resulting from the passage of time and revisions to either the timing or the amount of the original estimate of undiscounted cash flows. The Company derecognizes ARO liabilities when the related obligations are settled. The ARO liabilities recognized at December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were $3.3 million and $2.6 million, respectively. Accretion expense attributable to ARO liabilities was $0.2 million during Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2011 and Fiscal 2010 (see Note 15).

Guarantees

'

'

Guarantees

The Company has been party to a variety of contractual agreements under which it may be obligated to indemnify the other party for certain matters. Additionally, the Company guarantees certain other contractual arrangements. Under these agreements, the Company may provide certain routine indemnifications relating to representations and warranties (i.g., ownership of assets and environmental or tax indemnifications). The terms of these indemnifications range in duration and may not be explicitly defined.

The Company has applied the provisions of ASC 460, “Guarantees” to its agreements that contain guarantee or indemnification clauses. These provisions require the Company to recognize and disclose certain types of guarantees, even if the likelihood of requiring the Company’s performance is remote. Historically, the Company has not been required to make payments related to its agreements that contain guarantee or indemnification clauses.

Insurance Programs

'

'

Insurance Programs

The Company is insured by a third-party carrier, subject to certain deductibles and self-insured retentions ranging from $0.1 million to $1.0 million. The Company maintains an insurance program covering primarily fleet, general liability inclusive of druggist liability, workers’ compensation, property, environmental and other executive insurance policies. The Company accrues an estimated ultimate liability for its insurance programs based on known claims and past claims history. These accruals are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Employee Benefits

'

'

Employee Benefits

The Company accounts for its participation in a multiemployer pension plan by recognizing as net pension cost the required contributions for the period and recognizing as a liability any contributions due and unpaid (see Note 14).

Revenue Recognition

'

'

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates and recognizes revenue at the point of sale in its stores, net of sales tax collected. Discounts, earned by customers through agreements or by using their bonus or loyalty cards, are recorded by the Company as a reduction of revenue as they are earned by the customer. Franchise revenue consists of net revenue on wholesale sales to franchisees, and income from franchise fees and administrative fees. Franchise revenues were $4.2 million, $4.1 million and $3.8 million for Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2011, and Fiscal 2010, respectively, and are included in net sales in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income.

For certain products or services, such as the sales of lottery tickets, third-party prepaid phone cards, third-party gift cards, stamps and public transportation tickets, the Company acts as an agent. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition” (“ASC 605”), the Company records the amount of the net margin or commission in its net sales. Commission income was $2.7 million, $2.2 million and $2.0 million for Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2011, and Fiscal 2010, respectively, and is included in net sales in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income.

The Company records a deferred revenue liability when it sells gift cards, recording revenue when customers redeem the gift cards. These gift cards do not expire. The Company has completed an analysis of the historical redemption patterns of gift cards. As a result of this analysis, the Company has determined that the likelihood of redemption after two years is remote. Therefore, the Company reduces the liability and recognizes ‘‘breakage’’ income for the unused portion of gift cards after two years. The Company recognized pre-tax gift card breakage income of $0.3 million, $0.2 million and $0.3 million during Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2011 and Fiscal 2010, respectively.

Cost of Goods Sold and Distribution Costs

'

'

Cost of Goods Sold and Distribution Costs

Cost of goods sold and distribution costs include the purchase price of products sold and other costs incurred in bringing inventories to the location and condition ready for sale, including costs of purchasing, storing and transportation. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 605, cash consideration received from vendors is recognized as a reduction of cost of goods sold. During Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2011 and Fiscal 2010, depreciation expense of $2.9 million, $3.4 million and $3.5 million, respectively, is included in distribution costs in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income.

Vendor Allowances

'

'

Vendor Allowances

The Company receives allowances from many of the vendors whose products the Company buys for resale in its stores. Allowances are received for a variety of merchandising activities, which consist of the inclusion of vendor products in the Company’s advertising, placement of vendor products in prominent locations in the Company’s stores, introduction of new products, exclusivity rights for certain categories of products and temporary price reductions offered to customers on products held for sale. The Company also receives vendor funds associated with buying activities such as volume purchase rebates and rebates for purchases made during specific periods.

The Company records a receivable for vendor allowances for which the Company has fulfilled its contractual commitments but has not yet received payment from the vendor. When payment for vendor allowances is received prior to fulfillment of contractual terms or before the programs necessary to earn such allowances are initiated, the Company records such amounts as deferred income or vendor funds received in advance, respectively, which are classified within accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Once all contractual commitments have been met, the Company records vendor allowances as a reduction of the cost of inventory. Accordingly, when the inventory is sold, the vendor allowances are recognized as a reduction of the cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income.

The amount of vendor allowances reducing the Company’s inventory (“inventory offset”) as of December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $1.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

Selling and General Expenses

'

'

Selling and General Expenses

Selling and general expenses consist of repairs and maintenance charges, utilities, supplies, real estate taxes, insurance, bank and credit card fees and other general expenses. Depreciation expense included in selling and general expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income was $0.2 million during Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2011 and Fiscal 2010.

Administrative Expenses

'

'

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses consist of charges for services performed by outside vendors, salaries and wages of support office employees, rent and depreciation of support offices and assets, and other administrative expenses. During Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2011 and Fiscal 2010, depreciation expense of $11.4 million, $11.5 million and $10.4 million, respectively, was included in administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income.

Effective December 28, 2012, following the December 20, 2012 dividend (see Note 12), the Company awarded payments to holders of stock options under the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan in amounts equal to the difference between the per share dividend paid to shareholders and the reductions in exercise prices associated with the stock options (see Note 12). The payments totaled $5.0 million and were recorded within administrative expenses in the Fiscal 2012 consolidated statement of comprehensive (loss) income.

Advertising

'

'

Advertising

Advertising includes newspaper inserts, direct mail and radio commercials, promotional prizes, as well as the expenses of the Company’s advertising department. The Company recognizes advertising expenses as incurred.

Income Taxes

'

'

Income Taxes

Tops Markets is a single member LLC whose operations are included in the Holding tax return, as Tops Markets is a disregarded entity for income tax purposes. The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, including net operating loss carry forwards, and are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. The Company uses the provisions of ASC 740 to assess and record income tax uncertainties. In relation to recording the provision for income taxes, management must estimate the future tax rates applicable to the reversal of temporary differences, make certain assumptions regarding whether book/tax differences are permanent or temporary and if temporary, the related timing of expected reversal. Also, estimates are made as to whether taxable operating income in future periods will be sufficient to fully recognize any gross deferred tax assets. If recovery is not likely, the Company must increase its provision for taxes by recording a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets that the Company estimates will not ultimately be recoverable. Alternatively, the Company may make estimates about the potential usage of deferred tax assets that decrease its valuation allowances. Tax positions are recognized when they are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not of being realized upon settlement. The Company is subject to periodic audits by the Internal Revenue Service and other foreign, state and local taxing authorities. These audits may challenge certain of the Company’s tax positions such as the timing and amount of income and deductions and the allocation of taxable income to various tax jurisdictions. The Company evaluates its tax positions and establishes liabilities in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance on uncertainty in income taxes. These tax uncertainties are reviewed as facts and circumstances change and are adjusted accordingly. This requires significant management judgment in estimating final outcomes. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates and could significantly affect the Company’s effective tax rate and cash flows in future years. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.

Stock-Based Compensation

'

'

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company applies the Black-Scholes valuation model at the date of grant to determine the fair value of stock options granted to participants. The fair value of stock options are then amortized on a straight-line basis to compensation expense over the applicable vesting period, which is generally between three and five years. Compensation expense is recognized only for those options expected to vest, with forfeiture estimates based on the Company’s historical experience and future expectations. The Company’s outstanding stock options represent non-qualified stock options for income tax purposes. As such, the stock option grants result in the creation of a deferred tax asset until the time that such stock option is exercised.
