	1.DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Description of Business and Organization
	Fairway Group Holdings Corp. was incorporated in the State of Delaware on September 29, 2006 and is controlled by investment funds managed by Sterling Investment Partners L.P. and affiliates (collectively, “Sterling”).
	Fairway Group Holdings Corp. and subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Fairway”) operates in the retail food industry, selling fresh, natural and organic products, prepared foods and hard to find specialty and gourmet offerings along with a full assortment of conventional groceries.  The Company operates fourteen stores in the Greater New York metropolitan area, three of which include Fairway Wine & Spirits locations. We opened  two stores in fiscal 2012: the store on the Upper East side of Manhattan, New York, which opened in July 2011, and the store in Douglaston, New York, which opened in November 2011; we opened three stores in fiscal 2013: the store in Woodland Park, New Jersey, which opened in June 2012, the store in Westbury, New York, which opened in August 2012 and the store in Kips Bay Manhattan, New York, which opened in December 2012; and we opened two stores in fiscal 2014: the store in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, NY, which opened in late July 2013, and the store in Nanuet, NY, which opened in mid-October 2013. Seven of the Company’s food stores, which the Company refers to as “urban stores,” are located in New York City and the remainder, which the Company refers to as “suburban stores” are located in New York (outside of New York City), New Jersey and Connecticut. The Company has determined that it has one reportable segment.  Substantially all of the Company’s revenue comes from the sale of items at its retail food stores.
	In January 2007, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets and assumed substantially all of the liabilities of the four retail food store operations operated by the Company’s predecessor.  The consideration paid for the acquisition consisted of $97.4 million in cash, $2.4 million paid approximately two years from the date of the acquisition, 10% subordinated promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $22 million, recorded by the Company at fair value of $20 million, 19.9% of the issued and outstanding common and preferred stock of the Company having a value of approximately $12.7 million and transaction costs of approximately $7.2 million.
	On April 12, 2013, the Company amended and restated its certificate of incorporation to increase the number of shares the Company is authorized to issue to 150,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, 31,000,000 shares of Class B common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The amendment and restatement of the certificate of incorporation effected an internal recapitalization pursuant to which the Company effected a 118.58-for-one stock split on its outstanding common stock and reclassified its outstanding common stock into shares of Class A common stock. Accordingly, all common share and per share amounts in these financial statements and the notes thereto have been adjusted to reflect the 118.58-for-one stock split as though it had occurred at the beginning of the initial period presented.
	On April 22, 2013, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 15,697,500 shares of its Class A common stock at a price of $13.00 per share, which included 13,407,632 new shares sold by Fairway and the sale of 2,289,868 shares by existing stockholders (including 2,047,500 sold pursuant to the underwriters exercise of their over-allotment option). The Company received approximately $158.8 million in net proceeds from the IPO after deducting the underwriting discount and expenses related to the IPO. The Company used the net proceeds that it received from the IPO to (i) pay accrued but unpaid dividends on its Series A preferred stock totaling approximately $19.1 million, (ii) pay accrued but unpaid dividends on its Series B preferred stock totaling approximately $57.7 million, (iii) pay $9.2 million to an affiliate of Sterling Investment Partners in connection with the termination of the Company’s management agreement with such affiliate and (iv) pay contractual initial public offering bonuses to certain members of the Company’s management totaling approximately $8.1 million. During fiscal 2014, the Company used approximately $55.4 million of the net proceeds in connection with the opening of three new stores, its centralized production facility and capital expenditures on its other stores.  The Company intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds, approximately $9.3 million, for new store growth and other general corporate purposes.  The Company did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholders. In connection with the IPO, the Company issued 15,504,296 shares of Class B common stock (of which 33,576 shares automatically converted into 33,576 shares of Class A common stock) in exchange for all outstanding preferred stock and all accrued dividends not paid in cash with the proceeds of the IPO.
	Principles of Consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Fairway Group Holdings Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Fiscal Year
	The Company has selected a fiscal year ending on the Sunday closest to March 31.  These financial statements are presented for the fiscal years ended April 1, 2012 (52 weeks) (“fiscal 2012”), March 31, 2013 (52 weeks) (“fiscal 2013”) and March 30, 2014 (52 weeks) (“fiscal 2014”).
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.  Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash on deposit with banks and receipts from credit and debit card sales transactions which settle within a few days.  The amount of credit and debit card sales transactions included within cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2013 and March 30, 2014 was approximately $8.9 million and $9.1 million, respectively.
	Merchandise Inventories
	Perishable inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first in, first out) or market. Non-perishable inventories are stated principally at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined under the retail method, which approximates average cost. Under the retail method, the valuation of inventories at cost and resulting gross margins are determined by applying a cost-to-retail ratio for various groupings of similar items to the retail value of inventories.  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.
	Vendor Allowances
	The Company recognizes vendor allowances including merchandise cost adjustments and merchandise volume related rebate allowances as a reduction of the cost of inventory when earned and as a reduction of cost of sales when the related inventory is sold.
	Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
	Accounts receivable are composed primarily of vendor rebates from the purchase of goods and are stated at historical cost. Included in accounts receivable are amounts due from employees totaling approximately $143,000 and $112,000 at March 31, 2013 and March 30, 2014, respectively.  Management evaluates accounts receivable to estimate the amount that will not be collected in the future and records the appropriate provision.  The provision for doubtful accounts is recorded as a charge to operating expense and reduces accounts receivable.
	Allowance for doubtful accounts is calculated based on historical experience, vendor credit risk and application of the specific identification method and totaled approximately $180,000 and $444,000 at March 31, 2013 and March 30, 2014, respectively.  During fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2014, the Company wrote off $611,000 and $247,000 of accounts receivable balances, respectively.
	Property and Equipment
	Additions to property and equipment are stated at cost.
	Renewals and improvements that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized.  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
	Depreciation is computed under the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
	Upon retirement or disposition of property and equipment, the applicable cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gains or losses are included in the results of operations.  The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:
	Equipment		3 — 7 years
	Furniture and fixtures		5 years
	Leasehold improvements		The shorter of 10 years or the remaining term of the lease
	Goodwill and Other Intangibles Assets
	The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 350 — Intangibles — Goodwill and Other.  Accordingly, goodwill and identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but instead are subject to annual testing for impairment. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company changed the date of its annual impairment test from the last day of its fiscal year to the first day of its fiscal fourth quarter. The change was made to more closely align the impairment testing date with the Company’s long-range planning and forecasting process. The Company believes the change in its annual impairment testing date did not delay, accelerate or avoid an impairment charge. The Company has determined that this change in accounting principle is preferable under the circumstances and does not result in adjustments to its financial statements when applied retrospectively.
	Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis, on the first day of the Company’s fiscal fourth quarter for fiscal 2014 and at the end of each fiscal year prior to fiscal 2014 or between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.  To the extent the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, the Company is required to perform a second step, as this is an indication that the reporting unit goodwill may be impaired.  In this step, the Company compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of the reporting unit goodwill.  The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit to all of the assets (recognized and unrecognized) and liabilities of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation.  The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill.
	The Company tests intangible assets that are not subject to amortization for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.  The Company tests indefinite-lived assets using a two-step approach.  The first step screens for potential impairment while the second step measures the amount of impairment.  The Company uses a discounted cash flow analysis to complete the first step in the process.  The amount of the impairment loss, if any, is measured as the difference between the net book value of the asset and its estimated fair value.
	The Company’s detailed impairment analysis involves the use of discounted cash flow models.  Significant management judgment is necessary to evaluate the impact of operating and macroeconomic changes on existing and forecasted results.  Determining market values using a discounted cash flow method requires that we make significant estimates and assumptions, including long-term projections of cash flows, market conditions and appropriate market rates.  The Company’s judgments are based on historical experience, current market trends and other information.  In estimating future cash flows, the Company relies on internally generated forecasts for operating profits and cash flows, including capital expenditures.  Critical assumptions include projected comparable store sales growth, timing and number of new store openings, gross profit rates, general and administrative expenses, direct store expenses, capital expenditures, discount rates and terminal growth rates.  The Company determines discount rates based on the weighted average cost of capital of a market participant.  Such estimates are derived from an analysis of peer companies and considers the industry weighted average return on debt and equity from a market participant perspective.  The Company also uses comparable market earnings multiple data and market capitalization to corroborate the reporting unit valuation.  Factors that could cause Company management to change estimates of future cash flows include a prolonged economic crisis, successful efforts by competitors to gain market share in the Company’s core markets, the Company’s inability to compete effectively with other retailers or its inability to maintain price competitiveness.  The Company believes its assumptions are consistent with the plans and estimates used to manage the business; however, if actual results are not consistent with these estimates or assumptions, the Company may be exposed to an impairment charge that could be material.
	Based upon the results of the annual impairment review, it was determined that the fair value of the Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets and reporting unit substantially exceeded the carrying value of the assets, and no impairment existed as of March 31, 2013 and March 30, 2014.
	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
	ASC 360, “Impairment of Long-Lived Assets” requires that long-lived assets other than goodwill and other non-amortizable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events such as adjustments to lease terms or other adverse changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.  Additionally, on an annual basis, the recoverability of the carrying values of individual stores is evaluated.  In reviewing for impairment, the Company compares the carrying value of such assets with finite lives to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. When the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are less than their carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the difference between the assets’ fair value and their carrying value.
	When reviewing long-lived assets for impairment, the Company groups long-lived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities.  For long-lived assets used at store locations, the review for impairment is done at the individual store level.  These reviews involve comparing the carrying value of all leasehold improvements, machinery and equipment, computer equipment and furniture and fixtures located at each store to the net cash flow projections for each store.  In addition, the Company conducts separate impairment reviews at other levels as appropriate.  For example, a shared asset, such as a centralized production center, would be evaluated by reference to the aggregate assets, liabilities and projected cash flows of all areas of the business using that shared asset.
	The Company’s impairment loss calculations include uncertainty because they require management to make assumptions and to apply judgment to estimate future cash flows and asset fair values, including estimating the useful lives of assets and estimating the discount rate inherent in future cash flows, as discussed above under “—Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”.  If actual results are not consistent with the Company’s estimates and assumptions used in estimating future cash flows and asset fair values, the Company could be exposed to losses that could be material.
	Based upon the Company’s analysis, the estimated future cash flows substantially exceeded the Company’s value of the assets, and no impairment existed as of March 31, 2013 and March 30, 2014.
	Deferred Rent
	The Company leases stores, storage and production facilities and an administrative office under operating leases.  These lease agreements generally include rent escalation clauses, renewal options, rent holidays and incentives.  The Company recognizes scheduled rent increases, incentives and rent holidays on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective leases.
	Revenue Recognition
	Revenue is recognized at point of sale which is the time of sale.  All discounts provided to customers by the Company are recorded as reductions of sales at the time of sale.  Net sales exclude sales taxes.
	Cost of Sales and Occupancy Costs
	Cost of sales includes the cost of merchandise inventories sold during the period (net of discounts and allowances), distribution and food preparation costs and shipping and handling costs.  The Company receives various rebates from third party vendors in the form of purchase or sales volume discounts.  Purchase volume discounts are calculated based on actual purchase volumes and are recognized as a reduction of cost of sales when the related merchandise is sold.  Occupancy costs include store rental costs and property taxes.
	Direct Store Expenses
	Direct store expenses consist of store-level expenses such as salaries and benefit costs for the store work force, supplies, store depreciation and store-specific marketing costs.  Store-level labor costs are generally the largest component of direct store expenses.
	General and Administrative Expenses
	General and administrative expenses consist primarily of non-store specific employee costs, corporate and marketing expenses (including pre-opening advertising costs beginning in fiscal 2013), management fees, depreciation and amortization expense as well as other expenses associated with corporate headquarters, and expenses for accounting, information systems, legal, business development, human resources, purchasing and other administrative departments.
	Store Opening Costs
	Store opening costs include rent expense incurred during construction of new stores and costs related to new location openings, including costs associated with hiring and training personnel, supplies and other miscellaneous costs.  Rent expense is recognized upon taking possession of a store site, which generally ranges from three to six months before the opening of a store, although in some situations, the possession period can exceed twelve months.  Store opening costs are expensed as incurred.
	Income Taxes
	Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities for a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
	A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying value of deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will expire before the realization of the benefit or that the future deductibility is not probable.  The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets depends upon the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character in the future.  In forecasting future taxable income, management uses estimates and makes assumptions regarding significant future events, including the timing and number of new store openings, same store sales growth, suburban and urban mix of stores, corporate operating leverage, industry trends and competition.  In evaluating the recoverability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers and weighs all available positive and negative evidence, including past operating results, the existence of cumulative losses in the most recent years and the forecast of future taxable income.  When the likelihood of the realization of existing deferred tax assets changes, adjustments to the valuation allowance are charged in the period in which the determination is made.  If estimates and assumptions change in the future, the Company may be required to record additional valuation allowances against its deferred tax assets, resulting in additional income tax expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations, or conversely to reduce the existing valuation allowance resulting in less income tax expense.
	The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained by the taxing authorities based on technical merits of the position.  The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement.  Significant accounting judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes and related accruals, deferred tax assets and liabilities.  The Company believes that its tax positions are consistent with applicable tax law, but certain positions may be challenged by taxing authorities.  In the ordinary course of business, there are transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain.  In addition, the Company is subject to periodic audits and examinations by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and other state and local taxing authorities.  Although management believes that the estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from these estimates.
	The Company does not have any material uncertain tax positions for the fiscal years ended April 1, 2012, March 31, 2013 and March 30, 2014.
	The Company recorded a partial valuation allowance of $41.0 million against its deferred tax assets in fiscal 2013 and recorded a full valuation allowance against the remainder of its deferred tax assets in fiscal 2014.  The Company does not believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that any portion of the valuation allowance will be reversed in the Company’s five year planning horizon ending in fiscal 2019 and therefore no sensitivity analysis was deemed necessary.
	Advertising
	Advertising and display costs are expensed as incurred and approximated $6.5 million, $9.5 million and $6.6 million for the fiscal years ended April 1, 2012, March 31, 2013 and March 30, 2014, respectively.  Marketing costs are expensed as incurred and approximated $2.4 million, $1.2 million and $1.5 million for the fiscal years ended April 1, 2012, March 31, 2013 and March 30, 2014, respectively.
	Concentrations of Credit Risks
	The Company’s customers are consumers located primarily in the New York metropolitan area who purchase products at the Company’s stores.  Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of accounts receivable.  As of March 31, 2013 and March 30, 2014, there were no significant concentrations of accounts receivable or related credit risk.
	The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions.  Accounts at U.S. financial institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000.  At March 31, 2013 and March 30, 2014, the balances exceeding this insurable limit approximated $16.4 million and $54.1 million, respectively.
	Approximately 15% of accounts payable at March 31, 2013 and March 30, 2014 is due to one supplier.
Concentrations of Supplier Risks
The Company’s single largest third-party supplier in fiscal 2012, 2013 and 2014 was White Rose, Inc., accounting for approximately 13%,  15% and 16% of its total purchases, respectively. Under the Company’s agreement with White Rose, it is obligated to purchase substantially all of its requirements for specified products, principally conventional grocery, dairy, frozen food and ice cream products, which are available from White Rose, for its existing stores. In addition, United Natural Foods, Inc. (“UNFI”), which is the Company’s primary supplier of specified natural and organic products, principally dry grocery, frozen food, vitamins/supplements and health, beauty and wellness, accounted for approximately 9% of its total purchases in each of fiscal 2012, 2013 and 2014. The use of White Rose and UNFI gives the Company purchasing power through the volume discounts they receive from manufacturers.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Effective April 2, 2012, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP” (“ASU 2011-04”), which establishes common requirements for measuring fair value and related disclosures in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The adoption of ASU 2011-04, which primarily consists of clarification and wording changes to existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements, did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The Company applies the FASB guidance for “Fair Value Measurements.”  Under this standard, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches.  The hierarchy of those valuation approaches is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:
Level 1 -	Inputs that are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.  An active market for the asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.  The valuation under this approach does not entail a significant degree of judgment.
Level 2 -	Inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.  Level 2 inputs include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals or current market) and contractual prices for the underlying financial instrument, as well as other relevant economic measures.
Level 3 -	Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability.  Unobservable inputs are used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.
The Company’s non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include goodwill and intangible assets.  To estimate fair value for such assets, the Company uses techniques including discounted expected future cash flows (“DCF”) (Level 3 input).  A discounted cash flow analysis calculates the fair value by estimating the after-tax cash flows attributable to a reporting unit or asset and then discounting the after-tax cash flows to a present value using a risk-adjusted discount rate.  Assumptions used in the DCF require the exercise of significant judgment, including judgment about appropriate discount rates and terminal values, growth rates and the amount and timing of expected future cash flows.
The carrying amount of the Company’s interest rate cap agreement, which expired on July 19, 2013, was measured at fair value, on a recurring basis, using a standard valuation model that incorporates inputs other than quoted prices that are observable.  The Company’s interest rate cap agreement was classified as Level 2 as of March 31, 2013.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to short term maturities as of March 31, 2013 and March 30, 2014.  The long-term debt (Note 8 - Long-Term Debt) approximated fair value as of March 31, 2013 and March 30, 2014, because it has variable interest rates which reflect market changes to interest rates and contain variable risk premiums based on current market conditions.
Deferred Financing Fees
The Company incurred approximately $0.7 million, $3.4 million and $0.5 million of financing fees in the fiscal years ended April 1, 2012, March 31, 2013 and March 30, 2014, respectively, in conjunction with the debt refinancing discussed in Note 8.  These costs are being deferred and amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the related debt instrument.
Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic and diluted net loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the fiscal year.  Diluted net loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the fiscal year plus the effect of any potential common shares that have been issued if these additional shares are dilutive.  For all periods presented, basic and diluted net loss per common share are the same, as any additional common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive.
For the fiscal year ended April 1, 2012, there were 2,115,924 additional potentially dilutive shares of common stock, consisting of 1,930,822 outstanding warrants and 185,102 shares of unvested restricted stock.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, there were 2,076,793 additional potentially dilutive shares of common stock, consisting of 1,930,822 outstanding warrants and 145,971 shares of unvested restricted stock.
For the fiscal year ended March 30, 2014, there were 3,548,941 additional potentially dilutive shares of common stock, consisting of 109,920 shares of unvested restricted stock, 1,071,362 unvested options to purchase shares of Class A common stock and unvested restricted stock units covering 2,367,659 shares of Class A common stock.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures and recognizes stock-based compensation expense for all equity-based payment awards made to employees, including grants of employee stock options and restricted stock units, using estimated fair values.  The fair value of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period.  For awards with a change of control condition, an evaluation is made at the grant date and future periods as to the likelihood of the condition being met.  Compensation expense is adjusted in future periods for subsequent changes in the expected outcome of the change of control conditions until the vesting date.  Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
To determine the fair value of equity-based payment awards, valuation methods are used which require management to make assumptions and apply judgments. These assumptions and judgments include estimating the future volatility of the Company’s stock price, the expected term of the share-based award, dividend yield, risk-free interest rates, future employee turnover rates and future employee stock option exercise behaviors.  Since there is limited trading history of the Company’s common stock, the volatility is estimated based on historical price data of publicly traded companies within the Company’s peer group having similar characteristics.  Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and the amount of compensation expense recognized within individual periods.  To the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from the Company’s current estimates, such amounts are recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. Estimates and assumptions are based upon information currently available, including historical experience and current business and economic conditions. However, if actual results are not consistent with the Company’s estimates or assumptions, the Company may be exposed to changes in stock-based compensation expense that could be material.
Stock-based compensation awards that provide for accelerated vesting in the event of a change in control, which the Company believes in the near future is unlikely, could have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations. To date, stock-based compensation awards covering approximately 867,000 shares of our Class A common stock provide for accelerated vesting in the event of a change in control. Additionally, while the Company’s forfeiture assumption represents a particularly sensitive estimate that could affect stock-based compensation expense, the Company does not believe that it is likely to significantly change in the foreseeable future.
Insurance Recoveries
Insurance recoveries related to impairment losses recorded and other recoverable expenses are recognized up to the amount of the related loss or expense in the period that recoveries are deemed probable.  Insurance recoveries under business interruption coverage and insurance gains in excess of amounts written off related to impaired merchandise inventories and property and equipment are recognized when they are realizable and all contingencies have been resolved.  The evaluation of insurance recoveries requires estimates and judgments about future results which affect reported amounts and certain disclosures.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Refer to Note 15 to these financial statements for additional discussion.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Significant estimates include net realizable value of merchandise inventories, valuation of long-lived assets (including goodwill and intangible assets), useful lives associated with amortization and depreciation of intangible assets, property and equipment, stock compensation and valuation of deferred tax assets.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior fiscal years’ amounts to conform to the current fiscal year’s presentation.
Derivative Instruments
The Company does not currently utilize derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to changes in interest rates, although it has done so in prior years and will be required to do so under its senior credit facility if requested by the administrative agent at any time after the one month LIBO Rate (as defined in the senior credit facility) exceeds 1.50%.  The Company does not use financial instruments or derivatives for any trading or other speculative purposes.  Hedge effectiveness is measured by comparing the change in fair value of the hedged item to the change in fair value of the derivative instrument.  The effective portion of the gain or loss of the hedge is recorded as other comprehensive income (loss) in the periods presented, if applicable.  Any ineffective portion of the hedge, as well as amounts not included in the assessment of effectiveness, is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations under the caption “interest expense.”  The Company has not applied hedge accounting on its interest rate cap agreement.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on its accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Treasury Stock
Treasury shares repurchased are recorded at cost.

	2013 Senior Credit Facility
	In February 2013, Fairway Group Holdings Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Fairway Group Acquisition Company, as the borrower, entered into a senior secured credit facility consisting of a $275 million term loan (the “2013 Term Facility”) and a $40 million revolving credit facility, which includes a $40 million letter of credit sub-facility (the “2013 Revolving Facility” and together with the 2013 Term Facility, the “2013 Senior Credit Facility”) with the 2013 Term Facility maturing in August 2018 and the 2013 Revolving Facility maturing in August 2017. The Company used the proceeds from the 2013 Term Facility to repay the $264.5 million of outstanding borrowings (including accrued interest) under the 2012 Senior Credit Facility and pay fees and expenses. On May 3, 2013, the 2013 Senior Credit Facility was amended to, among other things, lower the interest rate margins and eliminate the interest coverage ratio financial covenants.
	Borrowings under the 2013 Senior Credit Facility, as amended, bear interest, at the option of the Company, at (i) adjusted LIBOR (subject to a 1.00% floor) plus 4.0% or (ii) an alternate base rate plus 3.0%. In addition, there is a fee payable quarterly in an amount equal to 1% per annum of the undrawn portion of the 2013 Revolving Facility, calculated based on a 360-day year. Interest is payable quarterly in the case of base rate loans and on the maturity dates or every three months, whichever is shorter, in the case of adjusted LIBOR loans. The 4.0% and 3.0% margins will each be reduced by 50 basis points at any time when the Company’s corporate family rating from Moody’s Investor Services Inc. is B2 or higher and the Company’s corporate rating from Standard & Poors Rating Service is B or higher, in each case with a stable outlook, and as long as certain events of default have not occurred. Prior to the May 2013 amendment, borrowings under the 2013 Senior Credit Facility bore interest, at the option of the Company, at (i) adjusted LIBOR (subject to a 1.25% floor) plus 5.50% or (ii) an alternate base rate plus 4.50%.
	All of the borrower’s obligations under the 2013 Senior Credit Facility are unconditionally guaranteed (the “Guarantees”) by Fairway Group Holdings Corp. and subsidiaries (other than the borrower and any future unrestricted subsidiaries as the Company may designate, at its discretion, from time to time) (the “Guarantors”). Additionally, the 2013 Senior Credit Facility and the Guarantees are secured by a first-priority perfected security interest in substantially all present and future assets of the borrower and each Guarantor, including accounts receivable, property and equipment, merchandise inventories, general intangibles, leases, intellectual property, investment property and intercompany notes among Guarantors.
	Mandatory prepayments under the 2013 Senior Credit Facility are required with: (i) 50% of adjusted excess cash flow (which percentage shall be reduced to 25% upon achievement and maintenance of a leverage ratio of less than 5.0:1.0, and to 0% upon achievement and maintenance of a leverage ratio of less than 4.0:1.0); (ii) 100% of the net cash proceeds of asset sales or other dispositions of property by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions and reinvestment provisions); and (iii) 100% of the net cash proceeds of issuances, offerings or placements of debt obligations (subject to certain exceptions).  In addition, the 2013 Senior Credit Facility required that by May 15, 2013, the Company either fully repay its outstanding subordinated note or make a $7.7 million repayment of the outstanding term loan.  On March 7, 2013, the Company repaid in full its then outstanding subordinated promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $7.3 million, together with all accrued interest aggregating $440,000.
	The 2013 Senior Credit Facility contains negative covenants, including restrictions on: (i) the incurrence of additional debt; (ii) liens and sale-leaseback transactions; (iii) loans and investments; (iv) guarantees and hedging agreements; (v) the sale, transfer or disposition of assets and businesses; (vi) dividends on, and redemptions of, equity interests and other restricted payments, including dividends and distributions to the Company by its subsidiaries; (vii) transactions with affiliates; (viii) changes in the business conducted by the Company; (ix) payment or amendment of subordinated debt and organizational documents; and (x) maximum capital expenditures. The Company is also required to comply with a maximum total leverage ratio financial covenant.
	The Company was in compliance with all applicable affirmative, negative and financial covenants of the 2013 Senior Credit Facility at March 30, 2014.
	The 2013 Senior Credit Facility resulted in the Company capitalizing new deferred financing fees of approximately $800,000 in fiscal 2013, to be amortized over the life of the loan on the effective interest method. These costs included administrative fees, advisory fees, title fees, and legal and accounting fees.
	The Company reviewed the terms of the 2013 Senior Credit Facility and ascertained that the conditions had been met, pursuant to the FASB’s guidance, to treat the transaction as a debt modification.  In connection with the modification of the 2012 Senior Credit Facility described below, (i) the unamortized original issue discount of approximately $11.8 million relating to the 2012 Senior Credit Facility and (ii) debt placement fees of approximately $3.6 million in connection with the 2013 Senior Credit Facility are collectively reflected as original issue discount, to be amortized over the life of the loan on the effective interest method. In addition, approximately $2.1 million of debt related expenses to third parties, pertaining to the 2013 Senior Credit Facility, were expensed as incurred in “General and administrative expenses” during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013.
	The amendment of the 2013 Senior Credit Facility in May 2013 resulted in the Company capitalizing new deferred financing fees of approximately $500,000 in fiscal 2014, to be amortized over the remaining life of the loan using the effective interest method. Additionally, as a result of the accounting treatment applied to this amendment of debt modification, (i) the unamortized original issue discount of approximately $14.7 million relating to the 2013 Senior Credit Facility and (ii) debt placement fees of approximately $3.4 million in connection with the amendment, are collectively reflected as original issue discount, to be amortized over the life of the loan using the effective interest method.
	At March 30, 2014, the Company had $16.4 million of availability under the 2013 Revolving Facility, all of which was available for letters of credit.  At March 30, 2014, the Company had $23.6 million of letters of credit outstanding.
	2012 Senior Credit Facility
	In August 2012, Fairway Group Holdings Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Fairway Group Acquisition Company, as the borrower, entered into a senior secured credit facility consisting of a $260 million term loan (the “2012 Term Facility”) and a $40 million revolving credit facility, which included a $40 million letter of credit sub-facility (the “2012 Revolving Facility” and together with the 2012 Term Facility, the “2012 Senior Credit Facility”) with the 2012 Term Facility maturing in August 2018 and the 2012 Revolving Facility maturing in August 2017. The Company used the net proceeds from the 2012 Term Facility to finance growth.
	Borrowings under the 2012 Senior Credit Facility bore interest, at the option of the Company, at (i) adjusted LIBOR (subject to a 1.5% floor) plus 6.75% or (ii) an alternate base rate plus 5.75%. In addition, there was a fee payable quarterly in an amount equal to 1% per annum of the undrawn portion of the 2012 Revolving Facility, calculated based on a 360-day year. Interest was payable quarterly in the case of base rate loans and on the maturity dates or every three months, whichever was shorter, in the case of adjusted LIBOR loans. The 6.75% and 5.75% margins would each have been reduced by 50 basis points at any time following completion of the Company’s initial public offering when the Company’s corporate family rating from Moody’s Investor Services Inc. was B2 or higher and the Company’s corporate rating from Standard & Poor’s Rating Service is B or higher, in each case with a stable outlook, and as long as certain events of default had not occurred.
	All of the borrower’s obligations under the 2012 Senior Credit Facility were unconditionally guaranteed (the “Guarantees”) by Fairway Group Holdings Corp. and subsidiaries (other than the borrower ) (the “Guarantors”). Additionally, the 2012 Senior Credit Facility and the Guarantees were secured by a first-priority perfected security interest in substantially all present and future assets of the borrower and each Guarantor, including accounts receivable, property and equipment, merchandise inventories, general intangibles, leases, intellectual property, investment property and intercompany notes among Guarantors.
	Mandatory prepayments under the 2012 Senior Credit Facility were required with: (i) 50% of adjusted excess cash flow (which percentage would have been reduced to 25% upon achievement and maintenance of a leverage ratio of less than 5.0:1.0, and to 0% upon achievement and maintenance of a leverage ratio of less than 4.0:1.0); (ii) 100% of the net cash proceeds of asset sales or other dispositions of property by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions and reinvestment provisions); and (iii) 100% of the net cash proceeds of issuances, offerings or placements of debt obligations (subject to certain exceptions).
	The 2012 Senior Credit Facility contained negative covenants, including restrictions on: (i) the incurrence of additional debt; (ii) liens and sale-leaseback transactions; (iii) loans and investments; (iv) guarantees and hedging agreements; (v) the sale, transfer or disposition of assets and businesses; (vi) dividends on, and redemptions of, equity interests and other restricted payments, including dividends and distributions to the Company by its subsidiaries; (vii) transactions with affiliates; (viii) changes in the business conducted by the Company; (ix) payment or amendment of subordinated debt and organizational documents; and (x) maximum capital expenditures. The Company was also required to comply with the following financial covenants: (i) a maximum total leverage ratio and (ii) a minimum cash interest coverage ratio.
	The 2012 Senior Credit Facility resulted in the Company capitalizing new deferred financing fees of approximately $2.1 million in fiscal 2013, to be amortized over the life of the loan on the effective interest method. These costs included administrative fees, advisory fees, title fees, and legal and accounting fees.
	The Company reviewed the terms of the 2012 Senior Credit Facility and ascertained that the conditions had been met, pursuant to the FASB’s guidance, to treat the transaction as a debt modification.  In connection with the modification of the 2011 Senior Credit Facility described below, (i) the unamortized original issue discount of approximately $1.8 million relating to the 2011 Senior Credit Facility and (ii) debt placement fees of approximately $7.2 million and new original issue discount of approximately $3.9 million in connection with the 2012 Senior Credit Facility were collectively reflected as original issue discount, to be amortized over the life of the loan on the effective interest method. In addition, approximately $2.8 million of debt related expenses to third parties, pertaining to the 2012 Senior Credit Facility, were expensed as incurred in “General and administrative expenses” during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013.
	All outstanding balances of the 2012 Senior Credit Facility were fully paid at the closing of the 2013 Senior Credit Facility on February 14, 2013.
	2011 Senior Credit Facility
	In March 2011, Fairway Group Holdings Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Fairway Group Acquisition Company, as the borrower, entered into a senior secured credit facility consisting of a $175 million term loan, which was increased to $200 million in December 2011 (the “2011 Term Facility”) and a $25 million revolving credit facility which was increased to $35 million in July 2012.  The Revolving Credit Facility included a $15 million letter of credit sub-facility (the “2011 Revolving Facility” and together with the Term Facility, the “2011 Senior Credit Facility”) with the 2011 Term Facility maturing in March 2017 and the 2011 Revolving Facility maturing in March 2016.  The Company used the proceeds from the 2011 Term Facility to repay its existing senior debt, the subordinated notes issued in connection with the acquisition of the four Fairway stores in 2007 and to finance growth.  Borrowings under the 2011 Senior Credit Facility bore interest, at the option of the Company, at (i) adjusted LIBOR (subject to a 1.5% floor) plus 6% or (ii) an alternate base rate plus 5%.  In addition, there was a fee payable quarterly in an amount equal to 1% per annum of the undrawn portion of the 2011 Revolving Facility, calculated based on a 360-day year.  Interest was payable quarterly in the case of base rate loans and on the maturity dates or every three months, whichever was shorter, in the case of adjusted LIBOR loans.
	All of the borrower’s obligations under the 2011 Senior Credit Facility were unconditionally guaranteed (the “Guarantees”) by Fairway Group Holdings Corp. and subsidiaries (other than the borrower) (the “Guarantors”).  Additionally, the 2011 Senior Credit Facility and the Guarantees were secured by a first-priority perfected security interest in substantially all present and future assets of the borrower and each Guarantor, including accounts receivable, property and equipment, merchandise inventories, general intangibles, leases, intellectual property, investment property and intercompany notes among Guarantors.
	Mandatory prepayments under the 2011 Senior Credit Facility were required with:  (i) 50% of adjusted excess cash flow (which percentage would have been reduced to 25% upon achievement and maintenance of a leverage ratio of less than 2.5:1.0, and to 0% upon achievement and maintenance of a leverage ratio of less than 2.0:1.0); (ii) 100% of the net cash proceeds of asset sales or other dispositions of property by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions and reinvestment provisions); and (iii) 100% of the net cash proceeds of issuances, offerings or placements of debt obligations (subject to certain exceptions).
	The 2011 Senior Credit Facility contained negative covenants, including restrictions on:  (i) the incurrence of additional debt; (ii) liens and sale-leaseback transactions; (iii) loans and investments; (iv) guarantees and hedging agreements; (v) the sale, transfer or disposition of assets and businesses; (vi) dividends on, and redemptions of, equity interests and other restricted payments; (vii) transactions with affiliates; (viii) changes in the business conducted by the Company; (ix) payment or amendment of subordinated debt and organizational documents; and (x) maximum capital expenditures.  The Company was also required to comply with the following financial covenants:  (i) a maximum total leverage ratio and (ii) a minimum cash interest coverage ratio.
	The 2011 Senior Credit Facility resulted in the Company capitalizing deferred financing fees of approximately $6.0 million and $563,000 during the fiscal years ended April 3, 2011 and April 1, 2012, respectively, to be amortized over the life of the loan on the effective interest method.  These costs included administrative fees, advisory fees, title fees, and legal and accounting fees.
	All outstanding balances of the 2011 Senior Credit Facility were fully paid at the closing of the 2012 Senior Credit Facility on August 17, 2012.
	Subordinated Promissory Notes Payable to Related Parties
	On January 18, 2007, the Company entered into two subordinated promissory notes which were amended on January 10, 2010 and April 1, 2010 (the “Notes”) for a total of $22 million with two corporations owned by the owners of the four retail food store operations acquired by the Company in January 2007,  two of whom became preferred stockholders of the Company at the time of issuance.  The Notes were subordinated to the Company’s senior debt and bore 10% interest per annum through March 31, 2010 and 12% interest per annum from April 1, 2010.  The interest accrued equal to 10% of the principal amount was payable in cash on the last day of each quarter commencing from March 31, 2007.  The interest accrued equal to 2% of the principal amount was payable on the Notes’ maturity date.  The outstanding principal balance of the Notes and accrued, unpaid interest was payable on the maturity date of January 18, 2015.
	In January 2007, the fair market value of these Notes was determined to be approximately $20 million, net of a discount of approximately $2.0 million, by using a discount rate yielding an interest rate of return of 13%.  The amortization of the discount approximated $21,000 during the fiscal year ended April 1, 2012 and is reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as interest expense.
	On May 3, 2011, the Company prepaid, in full, the principal balance and accrued interest on the Notes, amounting to approximately $22 million and $700,000, respectively.  Consequently, the unamortized discount of the Notes as of May 3, 2011 approximating $958,000 was reversed directly through accumulated deficit (net of income taxes) in fiscal 2012 as the debt between related entities emanated from a capital transaction.
	On May 13, 2011, for consideration received of approximately $7.3 million, the Company issued a subordinated promissory note to its then chief executive officer who was one of the individuals that owned the entities to which the Notes had been issued.  The note was subordinated to the 2011 Senior Credit Facility and bore 12% interest per annum.  The interest equal to 10% of the principal amount was payable in cash on the last day of each quarter commencing June 30, 2011.  The interest equal to 2% of the principal amount was payable on the note’s maturity date.  The outstanding principal balance of the note and accrued, unpaid interest was payable on March 3, 2018.  On March 7, 2013, the Company fully repaid the subordinated promissory note in the amount of $7.3 million and accrued interest in the amount of $133,000 and deferred interest due in the amount of $267,000.
	Interest Rate Cap Agreement
	In accordance with the terms of the 2011 Senior Credit Facility, the Company was required no later than the 180th day after the closing date of the agreement, and for a minimum of two years thereafter, to enter into agreements reasonably acceptable to the administrative agent that resulted in at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of its funded long-term indebtedness being effectively subject to a fixed or maximum interest rate acceptable to the administrative agent.
	On June 14, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with the administrative agent to cap the LIBOR interest on $50.1 million of its then outstanding term loan.  The LIBOR interest rate was capped at 5% for the period June 4, 2010 through June 14, 2011, and was capped at 4% from June 14, 2011 through June 14, 2012.  The Company paid a fee of $118,000 for this agreement. This agreement expired and has not been renewed.
	On July 19, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with the administrative agent to cap the LIBOR interest rate at 4% on a portion of the outstanding term loan under the 2011 Senior Credit Facility.  The notional amount of the agreement was  $70 million for the period July 19, 2011 through June 14, 2012, and $120 million from June 14, 2012 through July 19, 2013.  The Company paid a fee of $98,000 for this agreement. This agreement expired and has not been renewed.

REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK	'
	9.REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK
	The Series A and B Preferred Stock was classified as redeemable preferred stock at March 31, 2013 since the shares were redeemable at the option of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) which was controlled by the holders of the preferred stock.
	In connection with the Company’s IPO, the Company issued 15,504,296 shares of Class B common stock (of which 33,576 shares automatically converted into 33,576 shares of Class A common stock) in exchange for all outstanding preferred stock and all accrued dividends not paid in cash with the proceeds of the IPO. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from its IPO to repay approximately $19.1 million of accrued but unpaid dividends on its Series A preferred stock and approximately $57.7 million of accrued but unpaid dividends on its Series B preferred stock. Because the Company and the preferred stockholders had entered into an agreement to exchange the preferred stock for a fixed number of shares of Class B common stock based on (i) an assumed IPO price of $11.00 per share, (ii) an assumption that $65.0 million of accrued dividends would be paid in cash with the proceeds of the IPO and (iii) the fact that the number of shares of Class B common stock to be issued in the exchange would not change if the Company decreased or increased the amount of accrued dividends that it paid in cash with the net proceeds of the offering, and because the IPO price was greater than $11.00 per share and the amount of dividends paid in cash with the proceeds of the offering increased, the Company recognized an incremental dividend of approximately $42.8 million, consisting of $11.8 million, representing the additional cash proceeds used to pay dividends, and $31.0 million, representing an amount equal to the number of shares of Class B common stock the Company issued multiplied by $2.00, the difference between the $13.00 IPO price and the $11.00 price the Company used to calculate the number of shares of Class B common stock to be issued by the Company in exchange for the preferred stock and accrued but unpaid dividends.
	Series B Preferred Stock
	In January 2007, the Company issued 64,016.98 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and received net proceeds of approximately $51.2 million net of issuance costs.  In addition, approximately $12.7 million was considered the fair value of the preferred stock issued to the sellers as part of the consideration paid for the four retail food store operations acquired by the Company in January 2007.
	The Series B Preferred Stock was nonvoting and was entitled to receive dividends payable in cash at an annual rate of $140 per share from the date of issuance (January 18, 2007) of such shares.  All dividends with respect to Series B Preferred Stock (i) accrued on a daily basis, (ii) were cumulative, whether or not earned or declared, (iii) were compounded quarterly from the date of issuance of such shares and (iv) were payable when declared by the Board.  In addition, the Series B Preferred Stock was redeemable at the option of a majority of the Board at a price of $1,000 per share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends (the “Series B Liquidation Value”), whether or not declared.  Upon a liquidation event, each share of a Series B Preferred Stock was entitled to receive an amount equal to the Series B Liquidation Value before any payments could be made in respect of the Common Stock.  At March 31, 2013 and March 30, 2014, the Series B Preferred Stock cumulative deemed dividends were approximately $85.9 million, and $0, respectively.  At March 31, 2013 and March 30, 2014 the total liquidation preference, including dividends, was approximately $149.9 million and $0, respectively.
	Series A Preferred Stock

	On October 29, 2009, the Company issued 9,650 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to existing stockholders in consideration for cash proceeds of approximately $9.4 million, net of issuance costs of $241,000.
	In October and December 2010, the Company issued a total of 12,788 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in consideration for cash proceeds of approximately $12.5 million, net of issuance costs of $321,000.
	The Series A Preferred Stockholders were entitled to receive dividends at an annual rate of $150 per share from the date of issuance of such shares.  All dividends with respect to Series A Preferred Stock (i) accrued on a daily basis until paid, (ii) were cumulative, whether or not earned or declared, (iii) were compounded quarterly from the date of issuance of such shares and (iv) were payable when declared by the Board.  In addition, the Series A Preferred Stock was redeemable at the option of a majority of the Board at a price of $1,300 per share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends (the “Series A Liquidation Value”), whether or not declared.  Upon a liquidation event, each share of a Series A Preferred Stock was entitled to receive an amount equal to the Series A Liquidation Value before any payments can be made with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock or the Common Stock.  At March 31, 2013 and March 30, 2014, the Series A Preferred Stock cumulative deemed dividends were approximately $28.4 million and $0, respectively.  At March 31, 2013 and March 30, 2014, the total liquidation preference, including dividends, was approximately $84.3 million and $0, respectively.
	The warrants were exercisable at any time on or before March 26, 2016, or the consummation of a liquidation event, as defined.  Any warrants that were not exercised in full before the last day of the exercise period would have been automatically exercised, without further action on the part of the holder, on and as of that date.  There were no warrants issued or exercised during the fiscal years ended April 1, 2012 and March 31, 2013; all warrants were exercised in fiscal 2014.
	On February 9, 2010, certain stockholders surrendered warrants to purchase an aggregate of 232,059 shares of common stock to the Company for no consideration and the Board increased the number of shares available for issuance pursuant to the Company’s 2007 Equity Compensation Plan by that number of shares.

	2007 Equity Compensation Plan
	Effective January 2007, the Board adopted an Equity Compensation Plan (the “2007 Plan”) to provide the Company’s employees, certain consultants and advisors who perform services for the Company and non-employee members of the Board with an opportunity to receive grants of options to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock and grant restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock.
	The 2007 Plan is administered by the Board or a committee appointed by the Board.  The Board may grant incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options or any combination of these two and make restricted stock awards.  Incentive stock options may be granted only to employees of the Company and non-qualified stock options and restricted stock shares may be granted to employees, non-employee directors and advisors.
	The term of any option shall not exceed ten years from the date of grant.  However, an incentive stock option that is granted to an employee who, at the time of grant, owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, may not have a term that exceeds five years from the date of grant.
	As of March 31, 2013 and March 30, 2014,  1,828,254 and 1,825,289 restricted shares had been issued pursuant to the 2007 Plan.  The shares vest over a period of four to five years.

	As of March 30, 2014, there was approximately $390,000 of unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested stock-based compensation awards granted under the 2007 Plan.  The compensation expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.0 years.
	The status of the Company’s unvested restricted stock grants for the fiscal years ended April 1, 2012,  March 31, 2013 and March 30, 2014 is summarized as follows:
					Weighted

	Outstanding unvested awards at March 30, 2014		109,920			3.55
	As of March 30, 2014,  no options have been granted under the Plan.
	The 2007 Plan terminated in connection with the Company’s IPO and the adoption of the Company’s 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan, and no further awards will be granted under the 2007 Plan. However, all outstanding awards will continue to be governed by their existing terms.
	2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan
	Effective April 2013 the Company adopted a 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2013 Plan"). The purpose of the 2013 Plan is to enable the Company to grant equity-based incentive awards intended to attract, motivate and retain qualified employees, directors and other eligible service providers, and to align their financial interests with those of the Company's stockholders. The 2013 Plan permits the grant of incentive stock options, within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, to the Company's employees, and the grant of non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units, performance shares and other forms of equity-based awards to the Company's employees, directors, consultants and advisors.
	The Company has reserved 5,472,136 shares of Class A common stock for issuance under its 2013 Plan, of which 608,015 shares may only be issued in the form of options having an exercise price per share that is at least 120% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. The following unissued shares covered by awards granted under our 2013 Plan will remain available for issuance under new awards: (a) shares covered by an option or stock appreciation right that is forfeited or otherwise terminated or canceled for any reason other than exercise; (b) shares covered by an award that is forfeited or that are repurchased by the Company at the original purchase price; (c) shares covered by an award that is settled in cash or that otherwise terminates without shares being issued; and (d) shares covered by an award that are used to pay the exercise price or satisfy the tax withholding obligations under the award. No more than 1,000,000 shares may be issued pursuant to awards granted in any calendar year to any person.
	In general, the 2013 Plan will be administered by the compensation committee of the Board. In the case of awards intended to qualify for the "performance-based compensation" exemption from Section 162(m) of the Code, the committee will consist of at least two "outside directors" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. Subject to the terms of the 2013 Plan, the committee (or its designee) may select the persons who will receive awards, the types of awards to be granted, the purchase price (if any) to be paid for shares covered by the awards, and the vesting, forfeiture and other terms and conditions of the awards, and will have the authority to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the 2013 Plan.
	Restricted Stock Units
	As of March 30, 2014, there was $21.9 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to the restricted stock unit compensation awards granted under the 2013 Plan.  The compensation expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.4 years.
	The status of the Company's unvested restricted stock units for the year ended March 30, 2014 is summarized as follows:
					Weighted
			Restricted		Average Grant
			Stock Units		Date Fair Value
	Balance at March 31, 2013		—		$	—
	Granted		2,620,163			13.38
	Forfeited		-114,881			13.17
	Vested		-137,623			10.70
	Outstanding unvested awards at March 30, 2014		2,367,659		$	13.55
	During fiscal 2014, 122,000 restricted stock units were modified and their vesting was accelerated in connection with two executives leaving the Company.  The acceleration of the vesting resulted in incremental non-cash stock based compensation expense of approximately $987,000.  The total fair value of these restricted stock units was $1.3 million based upon the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the vesting dates.
	Stock Options
	As of March 30, 2014, there was $3.7 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to the stock option compensation awards granted under the 2013 Plan.  The compensation expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.3 years.
	A summary of stock option activity for the year ended March 30, 2014 is as follows:
							Weighted
					Weighted		Average
					Average		Remaining
			Stock		Exercise		Contractual
			Options		Price		Life (years)
	Balance at March 31, 2013		—		$	—	—
	Granted		1,424,691			13.74	10.0
	Forfeited		-328,329			13.96	9.1
	Exercised		—			—	—
	Outstanding unvested awards at March 30, 2014		1,096,362		$	13.68	9.3
	Stock options outstanding as of March 30, 2014 had no aggregate intrinsic value. Aggregate intrinsic value represents the value of the Company's closing stock price on the last trading day of the fiscal period in excess of the weighted average exercise price multiplied by the number of options outstanding or exercisable. No options vested or were exercised during the year ended March 30, 2014. No options were exercisable as of March 30, 2014.
	The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the weighted average assumptions noted in the following table:
		FY 2014
	Expected volatility		35.6	%
	Expected dividend yield		-	%
	Expected term (in years)		6.25
	Risk-free interest rate		1.2	%
	Weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the period	$	4.46
Weighted-average grant-date fair value of options forfeited during the period	$	4.76
The Company estimates the expected volatility of its common stock on the dates of grant based on the average historical stock price volatility of a group of publicly-traded companies within the Company’s peer group having similar characteristics.  Expected dividend yield is zero percent as the Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying dividends on the common stock.  The Company estimates the expected term of stock options granted based on the simplified method.  The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.  ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company assumed an annualized forfeiture rate of 5% for both stock options and restricted stock units. The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of options granted are evaluated and revised for new awards, as necessary, to reflect market conditions and experience.
During the fiscal years ended April 1, 2012, March 31, 2013 and March 30, 2014, the Company charged to operations approximately $437,000, $109,000,  and $11.0 million respectively, for non-cash stock based compensation expense.

	Management Agreement
	Prior to the Company’s IPO, pursuant to a management agreement, the Company paid Sterling Investment Partners Advisers, LLC (“Sterling Advisers”), an affiliate of the Company’s controlling stockholders, an annual management fee (the “management fee”) and fees in connection with certain debt and equity financings (other than the IPO).
	The management fee amounted to approximately $2.6 million, $3.5 million and $877,000 in the fiscal years ended April 1, 2012,  March 31, 2013 and March 30, 2014, respectively, and is recorded as part of general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	As a result of the debt financings in in fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2013, further described in Note 8, the Company paid Sterling Advisers debt financing fees of approximately $500,000 and $4.2 million, respectively.  The current and noncurrent unamortized portions of the debt financing fees are capitalized and classified as deferred financing fees and other assets, respectively.
	This management agreement terminated upon the Company’s IPO.  The Company paid Sterling Advisors $9.2 million in connection with the termination of this agreement.
	Separation Agreement
	On February 5, 2014, the Company and its Chief Executive Officer entered into a separation agreement in connection with that individual’s retirement as Chief Executive Officer.  The separation agreement contains substantially the same rights and obligations as are provided for under his employment agreement.

He remains subject to his confidentiality, non-solicitation and non-competition obligations contained in his employment agreement. Pursuant to the separation agreement, he will provide assistance and advisory services to the Company’s Executive Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Presidents for a period of two years.  Mr. Ruetsch will receive an annual consulting fee of $125,000.
	In March 2013, the Company entered into a separation agreement in connection with an executive stepping down as a director and officer to pursue other opportunities; this executive was, prior to the IPO, a 5% stockholder of the Company.  Pursuant to the separation agreement, the Company agreed, among other things, to pay him severance through January 2015 of $325,000, pay him a bonus of $145,000 upon consummation of the IPO, pay him a bonus of between $60,000 and $75,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 and continue certain of his benefits for a specified period of time.

MULTIEMPLOYER PLAN AND EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN	'
	12.MULTIEMPLOYER PLAN AND EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN
	The Company contributes to a multiemployer defined benefit pension plan under the terms of a collective-bargaining agreement that covers certain of its union-represented employees.  The risks of participating in this multiemployer plan are different from single-employer plans.  Assets contributed to the multiemployer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers.  If a participating employer stops contributing to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers.  Additionally, if the Company chooses to stop participating in its multiemployer plan, it will be required to pay this plan an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan, referred to as a withdrawal liability.
	The Company’s participation in this plan for the plan years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013 is outlined in the table below.  The “EIN/Pension Plan Number” column provides the Employer Identification Number (“EIN”) and the three-digit plan number, if applicable.  The most recent Pension Protection Act (“PPA”) zone status available as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2013 is indicated below.  The zone status is based on information that the Company received from the plan and is certified by the plan’s actuary.  Among other factors, plans in the red zone are generally less than 65 percent funded, plans in the yellow zone are less than 80 percent funded, and plans in the green zone are at least 80 percent funded.  The “FIP/RP Status Pending/Implemented” column indicates plans for which a financial improvement plan (“FIP”) or a rehabilitation plan (“RP”) is either pending or has been implemented.  In addition to regular plan contributions, the Company may be subject to a surcharge if the plan is in the red zone.  The “Surcharge Imposed” column indicates whether a surcharge has been imposed on contributions to the plan.  The last column lists the expiration date of the collective-bargaining agreement to which the plan is subject and any minimum funding requirements.  There have been no significant changes that affect the comparability of total employer contributions of fiscal years 2012, 2013 and 2014.
	Under federal pension law, a plan is considered “endangered” if, at the beginning of the plan year, the funding percentage is less that 80% or in “critical” status if the funding is less than 65 percent (other factors may apply).  If a pension plan enters the “endangered” status, the trustees of the plan are required to adopt a funding improvement plan.  The Plan was in an “endangered” status in the Plan Year ending December 31, 2013 because the Plan’s funded percentage  was less than 80% on the first day of the Plan Year and was not projected to experience a funding deficiency within the next seven years.  In an effort to improve the Plan’s funding situation, the trustees adopted a Funding Improvement Plan which is reviewed and updated annually as required.

	The Company also offers a noncontributory, defined contribution 401(k) profit sharing plan to all of its nonunion employees.  Employees become eligible when they attain both age 18 and complete one half year of service.  Employee contributions are based on annual salary with a contribution rate ranging up to 15%.  Employer contributions can range up to 3% of an employee’s annual salary, as determined by management, on a discretionary basis.  The Company did not make employer contributions to the plan for fiscal 2012, 2013 and 2014.
	As of March 30, 2014, approximately 81% of the Company’s employees were covered by four collective bargaining agreements.  Two of these collective bargaining agreements, covering 89.9% of the Company’s unionized employees, are scheduled to expire March 29, 2015, and one, covering 0.8% of the Company’s unionized employees , is scheduled to expire February 28, 2015.  The remaining collective bargaining agreement, covering 9.3% of the Company’s unionized employees, was scheduled to expire on April 25, 2014; however, a new collective bargaining agreement covering these employees has been entered into that is scheduled to expire on April 26, 2015.

	At March 30, 2014, the Company had available U.S. federal net operating losses of approximately $151 million.  These federal net operating loss carry forwards expire at various times beginning in calendar year 2027 through fiscal 2034.  In addition, the Company had various state net operating losses that expire in varying amounts through fiscal 2034.  The Company expects to incur additional pre-tax losses through fiscal 2018 before generating future taxable income.  These cumulative net operating losses were primarily attributable to the Company’s expansion including the building of new stores, increased production and corporate overhead and associated costs of capital.
	The Company had total deferred tax assets of approximately $92.7 million as of March 30, 2014, the most significant of which was the deferred tax asset for net operating losses of $64.3  million.  In assessing the realizability of the deferred tax assets, management considered whether it is “more likely than not” that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset would be realized.  Ultimately, the realization of the deferred tax asset is dependent upon the generation of sufficient taxable income in those periods in which temporary differences become deductible and net operating loss carry forwards can be utilized.
The Company evaluated both positive and negative evidence, including the historical levels of taxable income, scheduled reversals of temporary differences, tax planning strategies, the targeted number of new store openings and forecasts of the Company’s future operating performance and taxable income, adjusted by varying probability factors, in making a determination as to whether it is “more likely than not” that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The Company also considered cumulative losses as well as the impact of its expansion in assessing its core pretax earnings.
Assumptions regarding future taxable income require significant analysis and judgment. This analysis includes financial forecasts based on the historical performance of the business, the targeted number of new store openings and measurement of the year in which taxable income from existing stores exceeds the future costs and losses incurred from new store openings. The Company’s projections are updated on a quarterly basis and cover a five year period. Our analyses as of April 1, 2012, July 1, 2012 and September 30, 2012 included factors such as consideration of the Company’s predecessor’s historical pre-tax income through December 2006, the Company’s core operating earnings that remained strong through April 1, 2012, and the Company’s projections that it would generate future taxable income beginning in fiscal 2015, which would utilize all prior years’ net operating losses by no later than fiscal 2018. The Company also considered how the losses the Company had sustained in recent years were attributed to its initial acquisition in 2007 of the four stores operated by its predecessor and continued expansion. Based on the above factors, with a heavier weighting towards the Company’s forecast of future taxable income, the Company concluded that no valuation allowance was required as of April 1, 2012, July 1, 2012 and September 30, 2012.
During the thirteen week period ended December 30, 2012, the Company revised its forecast of taxable income through 2018 to take into account its results of operations during the quarter, as this quarter is traditionally the strongest sales quarter for the business because of the number of holidays, which provides management with the most insight needed to forecast future profitability.  Additionally, the forecast was revised for changes in the Company’s expansion plans, in order to give appropriate weight to future uncertainties involving economic conditions, the competitive environment, Company-specific issues and other risk factors. The revised forecast reflected the Company’s consideration of this new evidence, both positive and negative, giving appropriate weight to future uncertainties involving economic conditions, the competitive environment, Company-specific issues and other risk factors.  As a result of such new evidence and uncertainties, the Company believed it prudent to reduce the projected sales and taxable income growth in the latter years of its projection. The primary negative factor evaluated as of December 30, 2012 was an overall decrease in projected future operating income.  As a result, the Company concluded it was not “more likely than not” that all of its deferred tax assets would be realized by the end of fiscal year 2018. Accordingly, the Company recorded a partial valuation allowance of approximately $39 million against deferred tax assets during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2012. The partial valuation allowance was determined based on the Company’s estimate of being able to utilize approximately $60 million of its net operating losses by the end of fiscal 2018.
Between December 30, 2012 and September 29, 2013 there were no significant circumstances or developments in the Company’s operating results which impacted its projections through fiscal 2018.  Accordingly, the Company determined that, other than providing a valuation allowance of $2 million, $12.9 million and $5.9 million for the deferred tax asset for the loss incurred in the quarters ended March 31, 2013, June 30, 2013 and September 29, 2013, respectively, no additional valuation allowance was required for the remaining deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2013, June 30, 2013 or September 29, 2013.
During the thirteen week period ended December 29, 2013, the Company revised its forecast of taxable income to take into account the results of operations during the quarter, as this quarter is traditionally the strongest sales quarter for the business because of the number of holidays, which provides the Company with the insight needed to forecast future profitability. Additionally, the forecast was revised to account for the timing of new stores that opened in fiscal 2014 and their operating trends, and changes in stores planned to be opened in future years, as well as equity compensation charges and initial public offering costs that occurred earlier in the fiscal year and changes in the competitive environment. The revised forecast reflected the Company’s consideration of this new evidence, both positive and negative, giving appropriate weight to future uncertainties involving economic conditions, the competitive environment, Company-specific issues and other risk factors. As a result of such new evidence and uncertainties, the Company believed it prudent to reduce its taxable income projections. The Company concluded it was not “more likely than not” that its deferred tax assets will be realized by fiscal 2019. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a charge of approximately $25.9 million to reflect a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets at December 29, 2013. Although net operating losses can be carried forward for tax purposes through at least calendar 2027, the Company’s ability to reliably forecast taxable income is generally limited to its five year planning horizon.
Between December 29, 2013 and March 30, 2014 there were no significant circumstances or developments in the Company’s operating results which impacted its projections through fiscal 2019.  Accordingly, the Company determined that, other than providing a valuation allowance of $3.8 million for the deferred tax assets for the loss incurred in the quarter ended March 30, 2014, no additional valuation allowance was required for the remaining deferred tax assets as of March 30, 2014.
For its fiscal year ending March 30, 2014, the Company recorded an increase to its valuation allowance of $49.7 million. This increase was attributable to the charge of approximately $25.9 million to reflect a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets at December 29, 2013 and $23.8 million against deferred tax assets attributable to losses incurred during its fiscal year ended March 30, 2014.

	Other Contingencies
	The Company obtains its utility services for the Red Hook store from an entity which is 16.67% owned by Mr. Glickberg. a Company director and executive officer.  The Company believes that the entity has overcharged for utilities since its initial occupancy of the premises.  Since November 2008, with the exception of the post-Hurricane Sandy period through fiscal 2014, when the Company received utilities from the local utility provider because the co-generation plant was not operational,  the Company has taken deductions from the utility invoices based on the methodology that the Company believes represents the parties’ original intentions with respect to the utility calculations.  The Company believes that it will be successful in negotiating an amicable resolution of this matter between the parties.  The Company also believes that the resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.
	In February and March 2014, three purported securities class action lawsuits alleging violation of the federal securities laws were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and certain of its current and former officers, certain of its directors and the underwriters for its initial public offering. The suits assert claims for allegedly misleading statements in the registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering and in subsequent communications regarding its business and financial results. In April 2014, a purported stockholder derivative action was filed against certain of the Company’s directors in New York state court asserting claims for breach of fiduciary duties and gross mismanagement substantially similar allegations as in the securities class actions. While the Company believes the claims are without merit and intends to defend these lawsuits vigorously, the Company cannot predict the outcome of these lawsuits.
	In May 2014, a purported wage and hour class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and certain of its current and former officers and employees.  This suit alleges, among other things, that certain of the Company’s past and current employees were not properly compensated in accordance with the overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act.  While the Company believes that these claims are without merit and intend to defend the matter vigorously, the Company cannot predict the outcome of this litigation.
	The Company, from time to time, is and may be subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of its business.  The Company has not accrued any amounts in connection with the uncertainties discussed above as the Company has determined that losses from these uncertainties are not probable. For all matters, including unasserted claims, where a loss is reasonably possible, the aggregate range of estimated losses is not material to the financial position, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows of the Company.
	Regardless of the outcome, these matters or future litigation may require significant attention from management and could result in significant legal expenses, settlement costs or damage awards that could have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

	The Company’s Red Hook store sustained substantial damages from the effects of Hurricane Sandy on October 29, 2012, which resulted in its temporary closing.  Red Hook reopened for business during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. The Company also sustained property and equipment damages and losses on merchandise inventories at certain other stores resulting from this storm. As a result of these damages, during fiscal 2013 the Company wrote off approximately $2.1 million of unsalable merchandise inventories and approximately $3.4 million of impaired property and equipment.
	In fiscal 2013, the Company received advances totaling $10.5 million in partial settlement of its insurance claims.  The insurance carriers designated $5.0 million of these advances as non-refundable reimbursement for business interruption losses sustained at Red Hook, which has been recorded as business interruption insurance recoveries in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013.  The remaining $5.5 million, which represents the carrying values of the damaged inventory and property and equipment, was recorded as a reduction of general and administrative expenses, a direct offset to the associated carrying values written off, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013.  Additionally, the Company has recorded approximately $5.2 million for reimbursable ongoing business expenses and remediation costs incurred in connection with Red Hook as a reduction in general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 as the realization of the claim for loss recovery has been deemed to be probable.
	The Company received an additional advance of $3.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 in partial settlement of its insurance claims. In the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company and its insurers settled the remaining insurance claims related to Hurricane Sandy and the Company received final payments totaling $4.4 million, bringing total insurance payments to $18.7 million. At the time of claim settlement the Company had an insurance receivable of $1.3 million. The settlement resulted in a $3.1 million gain, which represents the difference between the replacement cost and carrying value of the assets lost to Hurricane Sandy. The gain is recorded in Business interruption and gain on storm-related insurance recoveries in our consolidated statements of operations.

	Description of Business and Organization
	Fairway Group Holdings Corp. was incorporated in the State of Delaware on September 29, 2006 and is controlled by investment funds managed by Sterling Investment Partners L.P. and affiliates (collectively, “Sterling”).
	Fairway Group Holdings Corp. and subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Fairway”) operates in the retail food industry, selling fresh, natural and organic products, prepared foods and hard to find specialty and gourmet offerings along with a full assortment of conventional groceries.  The Company operates fourteen stores in the Greater New York metropolitan area, three of which include Fairway Wine & Spirits locations. We opened  two stores in fiscal 2012: the store on the Upper East side of Manhattan, New York, which opened in July 2011, and the store in Douglaston, New York, which opened in November 2011; we opened three stores in fiscal 2013: the store in Woodland Park, New Jersey, which opened in June 2012, the store in Westbury, New York, which opened in August 2012 and the store in Kips Bay Manhattan, New York, which opened in December 2012; and we opened two stores in fiscal 2014: the store in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, NY, which opened in late July 2013, and the store in Nanuet, NY, which opened in mid-October 2013. Seven of the Company’s food stores, which the Company refers to as “urban stores,” are located in New York City and the remainder, which the Company refers to as “suburban stores” are located in New York (outside of New York City), New Jersey and Connecticut. The Company has determined that it has one reportable segment.  Substantially all of the Company’s revenue comes from the sale of items at its retail food stores.
	In January 2007, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets and assumed substantially all of the liabilities of the four retail food store operations operated by the Company’s predecessor.  The consideration paid for the acquisition consisted of $97.4 million in cash, $2.4 million paid approximately two years from the date of the acquisition, 10% subordinated promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $22 million, recorded by the Company at fair value of $20 million, 19.9% of the issued and outstanding common and preferred stock of the Company having a value of approximately $12.7 million and transaction costs of approximately $7.2 million.
	On April 12, 2013, the Company amended and restated its certificate of incorporation to increase the number of shares the Company is authorized to issue to 150,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, 31,000,000 shares of Class B common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The amendment and restatement of the certificate of incorporation effected an internal recapitalization pursuant to which the Company effected a 118.58-for-one stock split on its outstanding common stock and reclassified its outstanding common stock into shares of Class A common stock. Accordingly, all common share and per share amounts in these financial statements and the notes thereto have been adjusted to reflect the 118.58-for-one stock split as though it had occurred at the beginning of the initial period presented.
	On April 22, 2013, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 15,697,500 shares of its Class A common stock at a price of $13.00 per share, which included 13,407,632 new shares sold by Fairway and the sale of 2,289,868 shares by existing stockholders (including 2,047,500 sold pursuant to the underwriters exercise of their over-allotment option). The Company received approximately $158.8 million in net proceeds from the IPO after deducting the underwriting discount and expenses related to the IPO. The Company used the net proceeds that it received from the IPO to (i) pay accrued but unpaid dividends on its Series A preferred stock totaling approximately $19.1 million, (ii) pay accrued but unpaid dividends on its Series B preferred stock totaling approximately $57.7 million, (iii) pay $9.2 million to an affiliate of Sterling Investment Partners in connection with the termination of the Company’s management agreement with such affiliate and (iv) pay contractual initial public offering bonuses to certain members of the Company’s management totaling approximately $8.1 million. During fiscal 2014, the Company used approximately $55.4 million of the net proceeds in connection with the opening of three new stores, its centralized production facility and capital expenditures on its other stores.  The Company intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds, approximately $9.3 million, for new store growth and other general corporate purposes.  The Company did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholders. In connection with the IPO, the Company issued 15,504,296 shares of Class B common stock (of which 33,576 shares automatically converted into 33,576 shares of Class A common stock) in exchange for all outstanding preferred stock and all accrued dividends not paid in cash with the proceeds of the IPO.
Principles of Consolidation	'
	Principles of Consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Fairway Group Holdings Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Fiscal Year	'
	Fiscal Year
	The Company has selected a fiscal year ending on the Sunday closest to March 31.  These financial statements are presented for the fiscal years ended April 1, 2012 (52 weeks) (“fiscal 2012”), March 31, 2013 (52 weeks) (“fiscal 2013”) and March 30, 2014 (52 weeks) (“fiscal 2014”).
Cash and Cash Equivalents	'
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.  Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash on deposit with banks and receipts from credit and debit card sales transactions which settle within a few days.  The amount of credit and debit card sales transactions included within cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2013 and March 30, 2014 was approximately $8.9 million and $9.1 million, respectively.
Merchandise Inventories	'
	Merchandise Inventories
	Perishable inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first in, first out) or market. Non-perishable inventories are stated principally at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined under the retail method, which approximates average cost. Under the retail method, the valuation of inventories at cost and resulting gross margins are determined by applying a cost-to-retail ratio for various groupings of similar items to the retail value of inventories.  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.
Vendor Allowances	'
	Vendor Allowances
	The Company recognizes vendor allowances including merchandise cost adjustments and merchandise volume related rebate allowances as a reduction of the cost of inventory when earned and as a reduction of cost of sales when the related inventory is sold.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts	'
	Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
	Accounts receivable are composed primarily of vendor rebates from the purchase of goods and are stated at historical cost. Included in accounts receivable are amounts due from employees totaling approximately $143,000 and $112,000 at March 31, 2013 and March 30, 2014, respectively.  Management evaluates accounts receivable to estimate the amount that will not be collected in the future and records the appropriate provision.  The provision for doubtful accounts is recorded as a charge to operating expense and reduces accounts receivable.
	Allowance for doubtful accounts is calculated based on historical experience, vendor credit risk and application of the specific identification method and totaled approximately $180,000 and $444,000 at March 31, 2013 and March 30, 2014, respectively.  During fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2014, the Company wrote off $611,000 and $247,000 of accounts receivable balances, respectively.
Property and Equipment	'
	Property and Equipment
	Additions to property and equipment are stated at cost.
	Renewals and improvements that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized.  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
	Depreciation is computed under the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
	Upon retirement or disposition of property and equipment, the applicable cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gains or losses are included in the results of operations.  The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:
	Equipment		3 — 7 years
	Furniture and fixtures		5 years
	Leasehold improvements		The shorter of 10 years or the remaining term of the lease
Goodwill and Other Intangibles Assets	'
	Goodwill and Other Intangibles Assets
	The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 350 — Intangibles — Goodwill and Other.  Accordingly, goodwill and identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but instead are subject to annual testing for impairment. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company changed the date of its annual impairment test from the last day of its fiscal year to the first day of its fiscal fourth quarter. The change was made to more closely align the impairment testing date with the Company’s long-range planning and forecasting process. The Company believes the change in its annual impairment testing date did not delay, accelerate or avoid an impairment charge. The Company has determined that this change in accounting principle is preferable under the circumstances and does not result in adjustments to its financial statements when applied retrospectively.
	Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis, on the first day of the Company’s fiscal fourth quarter for fiscal 2014 and at the end of each fiscal year prior to fiscal 2014 or between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.  To the extent the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, the Company is required to perform a second step, as this is an indication that the reporting unit goodwill may be impaired.  In this step, the Company compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of the reporting unit goodwill.  The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit to all of the assets (recognized and unrecognized) and liabilities of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation.  The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill.
	The Company tests intangible assets that are not subject to amortization for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.  The Company tests indefinite-lived assets using a two-step approach.  The first step screens for potential impairment while the second step measures the amount of impairment.  The Company uses a discounted cash flow analysis to complete the first step in the process.  The amount of the impairment loss, if any, is measured as the difference between the net book value of the asset and its estimated fair value.
	The Company’s detailed impairment analysis involves the use of discounted cash flow models.  Significant management judgment is necessary to evaluate the impact of operating and macroeconomic changes on existing and forecasted results.  Determining market values using a discounted cash flow method requires that we make significant estimates and assumptions, including long-term projections of cash flows, market conditions and appropriate market rates.  The Company’s judgments are based on historical experience, current market trends and other information.  In estimating future cash flows, the Company relies on internally generated forecasts for operating profits and cash flows, including capital expenditures.  Critical assumptions include projected comparable store sales growth, timing and number of new store openings, gross profit rates, general and administrative expenses, direct store expenses, capital expenditures, discount rates and terminal growth rates.  The Company determines discount rates based on the weighted average cost of capital of a market participant.  Such estimates are derived from an analysis of peer companies and considers the industry weighted average return on debt and equity from a market participant perspective.  The Company also uses comparable market earnings multiple data and market capitalization to corroborate the reporting unit valuation.  Factors that could cause Company management to change estimates of future cash flows include a prolonged economic crisis, successful efforts by competitors to gain market share in the Company’s core markets, the Company’s inability to compete effectively with other retailers or its inability to maintain price competitiveness.  The Company believes its assumptions are consistent with the plans and estimates used to manage the business; however, if actual results are not consistent with these estimates or assumptions, the Company may be exposed to an impairment charge that could be material.
	Based upon the results of the annual impairment review, it was determined that the fair value of the Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets and reporting unit substantially exceeded the carrying value of the assets, and no impairment existed as of March 31, 2013 and March 30, 2014.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	'
	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
	ASC 360, “Impairment of Long-Lived Assets” requires that long-lived assets other than goodwill and other non-amortizable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events such as adjustments to lease terms or other adverse changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.  Additionally, on an annual basis, the recoverability of the carrying values of individual stores is evaluated.  In reviewing for impairment, the Company compares the carrying value of such assets with finite lives to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. When the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are less than their carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the difference between the assets’ fair value and their carrying value.
	When reviewing long-lived assets for impairment, the Company groups long-lived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities.  For long-lived assets used at store locations, the review for impairment is done at the individual store level.  These reviews involve comparing the carrying value of all leasehold improvements, machinery and equipment, computer equipment and furniture and fixtures located at each store to the net cash flow projections for each store.  In addition, the Company conducts separate impairment reviews at other levels as appropriate.  For example, a shared asset, such as a centralized production center, would be evaluated by reference to the aggregate assets, liabilities and projected cash flows of all areas of the business using that shared asset.
	The Company’s impairment loss calculations include uncertainty because they require management to make assumptions and to apply judgment to estimate future cash flows and asset fair values, including estimating the useful lives of assets and estimating the discount rate inherent in future cash flows, as discussed above under “—Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”.  If actual results are not consistent with the Company’s estimates and assumptions used in estimating future cash flows and asset fair values, the Company could be exposed to losses that could be material.
	Based upon the Company’s analysis, the estimated future cash flows substantially exceeded the Company’s value of the assets, and no impairment existed as of March 31, 2013 and March 30, 2014.
Deferred Rent	'
	Deferred Rent
	The Company leases stores, storage and production facilities and an administrative office under operating leases.  These lease agreements generally include rent escalation clauses, renewal options, rent holidays and incentives.  The Company recognizes scheduled rent increases, incentives and rent holidays on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective leases.
Revenue Recognition	'
	Revenue Recognition
	Revenue is recognized at point of sale which is the time of sale.  All discounts provided to customers by the Company are recorded as reductions of sales at the time of sale.  Net sales exclude sales taxes.
Cost of Sales and Occupancy Costs	'
	Cost of Sales and Occupancy Costs
	Cost of sales includes the cost of merchandise inventories sold during the period (net of discounts and allowances), distribution and food preparation costs and shipping and handling costs.  The Company receives various rebates from third party vendors in the form of purchase or sales volume discounts.  Purchase volume discounts are calculated based on actual purchase volumes and are recognized as a reduction of cost of sales when the related merchandise is sold.  Occupancy costs include store rental costs and property taxes.
Direct Store Expenses	'
	Direct Store Expenses
	Direct store expenses consist of store-level expenses such as salaries and benefit costs for the store work force, supplies, store depreciation and store-specific marketing costs.  Store-level labor costs are generally the largest component of direct store expenses.
General and Administrative Expenses	'
	General and Administrative Expenses
	General and administrative expenses consist primarily of non-store specific employee costs, corporate and marketing expenses (including pre-opening advertising costs beginning in fiscal 2013), management fees, depreciation and amortization expense as well as other expenses associated with corporate headquarters, and expenses for accounting, information systems, legal, business development, human resources, purchasing and other administrative departments.

	Store opening costs include rent expense incurred during construction of new stores and costs related to new location openings, including costs associated with hiring and training personnel, supplies and other miscellaneous costs.  Rent expense is recognized upon taking possession of a store site, which generally ranges from three to six months before the opening of a store, although in some situations, the possession period can exceed twelve months.  Store opening costs are expensed as incurred.
Income Taxes	'
	Income Taxes
	Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities for a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
	A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying value of deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will expire before the realization of the benefit or that the future deductibility is not probable.  The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets depends upon the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character in the future.  In forecasting future taxable income, management uses estimates and makes assumptions regarding significant future events, including the timing and number of new store openings, same store sales growth, suburban and urban mix of stores, corporate operating leverage, industry trends and competition.  In evaluating the recoverability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers and weighs all available positive and negative evidence, including past operating results, the existence of cumulative losses in the most recent years and the forecast of future taxable income.  When the likelihood of the realization of existing deferred tax assets changes, adjustments to the valuation allowance are charged in the period in which the determination is made.  If estimates and assumptions change in the future, the Company may be required to record additional valuation allowances against its deferred tax assets, resulting in additional income tax expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations, or conversely to reduce the existing valuation allowance resulting in less income tax expense.
	The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained by the taxing authorities based on technical merits of the position.  The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement.  Significant accounting judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes and related accruals, deferred tax assets and liabilities.  The Company believes that its tax positions are consistent with applicable tax law, but certain positions may be challenged by taxing authorities.  In the ordinary course of business, there are transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain.  In addition, the Company is subject to periodic audits and examinations by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and other state and local taxing authorities.  Although management believes that the estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from these estimates.
	The Company does not have any material uncertain tax positions for the fiscal years ended April 1, 2012, March 31, 2013 and March 30, 2014.
	The Company recorded a partial valuation allowance of $41.0 million against its deferred tax assets in fiscal 2013 and recorded a full valuation allowance against the remainder of its deferred tax assets in fiscal 2014.  The Company does not believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that any portion of the valuation allowance will be reversed in the Company’s five year planning horizon ending in fiscal 2019 and therefore no sensitivity analysis was deemed necessary.
Advertising	'
	Advertising
	Advertising and display costs are expensed as incurred and approximated $6.5 million, $9.5 million and $6.6 million for the fiscal years ended April 1, 2012, March 31, 2013 and March 30, 2014, respectively.  Marketing costs are expensed as incurred and approximated $2.4 million, $1.2 million and $1.5 million for the fiscal years ended April 1, 2012, March 31, 2013 and March 30, 2014, respectively.
Concentrations of Credit Risks	'
	Concentrations of Credit Risks
	The Company’s customers are consumers located primarily in the New York metropolitan area who purchase products at the Company’s stores.  Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of accounts receivable.  As of March 31, 2013 and March 30, 2014, there were no significant concentrations of accounts receivable or related credit risk.
	The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions.  Accounts at U.S. financial institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000.  At March 31, 2013 and March 30, 2014, the balances exceeding this insurable limit approximated $16.4 million and $54.1 million, respectively.
	Approximately 15% of accounts payable at March 31, 2013 and March 30, 2014 is due to one supplier.
Concentrations of Supplier Risks	'
	Concentrations of Supplier Risks
	The Company’s single largest third-party supplier in fiscal 2012, 2013 and 2014 was White Rose, Inc., accounting for approximately 13%,  15% and 16% of its total purchases, respectively. Under the Company’s agreement with White Rose, it is obligated to purchase substantially all of its requirements for specified products, principally conventional grocery, dairy, frozen food and ice cream products, which are available from White Rose, for its existing stores. In addition, United Natural Foods, Inc. (“UNFI”), which is the Company’s primary supplier of specified natural and organic products, principally dry grocery, frozen food, vitamins/supplements and health, beauty and wellness, accounted for approximately 9% of its total purchases in each of fiscal 2012, 2013 and 2014. The use of White Rose and UNFI gives the Company purchasing power through the volume discounts they receive from manufacturers.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	'
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	Effective April 2, 2012, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP” (“ASU 2011-04”), which establishes common requirements for measuring fair value and related disclosures in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The adoption of ASU 2011-04, which primarily consists of clarification and wording changes to existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements, did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	The Company applies the FASB guidance for “Fair Value Measurements.”  Under this standard, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
	In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches.  The hierarchy of those valuation approaches is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:
	Level 1 -	Inputs that are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.  An active market for the asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.  The valuation under this approach does not entail a significant degree of judgment.
	Level 2 -	Inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.  Level 2 inputs include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals or current market) and contractual prices for the underlying financial instrument, as well as other relevant economic measures.
	Level 3 -	Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability.  Unobservable inputs are used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.
	The Company’s non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include goodwill and intangible assets.  To estimate fair value for such assets, the Company uses techniques including discounted expected future cash flows (“DCF”) (Level 3 input).  A discounted cash flow analysis calculates the fair value by estimating the after-tax cash flows attributable to a reporting unit or asset and then discounting the after-tax cash flows to a present value using a risk-adjusted discount rate.  Assumptions used in the DCF require the exercise of significant judgment, including judgment about appropriate discount rates and terminal values, growth rates and the amount and timing of expected future cash flows.
	The carrying amount of the Company’s interest rate cap agreement, which expired on July 19, 2013, was measured at fair value, on a recurring basis, using a standard valuation model that incorporates inputs other than quoted prices that are observable.  The Company’s interest rate cap agreement was classified as Level 2 as of March 31, 2013.
	The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to short term maturities as of March 31, 2013 and March 30, 2014.  The long-term debt (Note 8 - Long-Term Debt) approximated fair value as of March 31, 2013 and March 30, 2014, because it has variable interest rates which reflect market changes to interest rates and contain variable risk premiums based on current market conditions.
Deferred Financing Fees	'
	Deferred Financing Fees
	The Company incurred approximately $0.7 million, $3.4 million and $0.5 million of financing fees in the fiscal years ended April 1, 2012, March 31, 2013 and March 30, 2014, respectively, in conjunction with the debt refinancing discussed in Note 8.  These costs are being deferred and amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the related debt instrument.
Net Loss Per Common Share	'
	Net Loss Per Common Share
	Basic and diluted net loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the fiscal year.  Diluted net loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the fiscal year plus the effect of any potential common shares that have been issued if these additional shares are dilutive.  For all periods presented, basic and diluted net loss per common share are the same, as any additional common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive.
	For the fiscal year ended April 1, 2012, there were 2,115,924 additional potentially dilutive shares of common stock, consisting of 1,930,822 outstanding warrants and 185,102 shares of unvested restricted stock.
	For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, there were 2,076,793 additional potentially dilutive shares of common stock, consisting of 1,930,822 outstanding warrants and 145,971 shares of unvested restricted stock.
	For the fiscal year ended March 30, 2014, there were 3,548,941 additional potentially dilutive shares of common stock, consisting of 109,920 shares of unvested restricted stock, 1,071,362 unvested options to purchase shares of Class A common stock and unvested restricted stock units covering 2,367,659 shares of Class A common stock.
Stock-Based Compensation	'
	Stock-Based Compensation
	The Company measures and recognizes stock-based compensation expense for all equity-based payment awards made to employees, including grants of employee stock options and restricted stock units, using estimated fair values.  The fair value of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period.  For awards with a change of control condition, an evaluation is made at the grant date and future periods as to the likelihood of the condition being met.  Compensation expense is adjusted in future periods for subsequent changes in the expected outcome of the change of control conditions until the vesting date.  Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
	To determine the fair value of equity-based payment awards, valuation methods are used which require management to make assumptions and apply judgments. These assumptions and judgments include estimating the future volatility of the Company’s stock price, the expected term of the share-based award, dividend yield, risk-free interest rates, future employee turnover rates and future employee stock option exercise behaviors.  Since there is limited trading history of the Company’s common stock, the volatility is estimated based on historical price data of publicly traded companies within the Company’s peer group having similar characteristics.  Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and the amount of compensation expense recognized within individual periods.  To the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from the Company’s current estimates, such amounts are recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. Estimates and assumptions are based upon information currently available, including historical experience and current business and economic conditions. However, if actual results are not consistent with the Company’s estimates or assumptions, the Company may be exposed to changes in stock-based compensation expense that could be material.
	Stock-based compensation awards that provide for accelerated vesting in the event of a change in control, which the Company believes in the near future is unlikely, could have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations. To date, stock-based compensation awards covering approximately 867,000 shares of our Class A common stock provide for accelerated vesting in the event of a change in control. Additionally, while the Company’s forfeiture assumption represents a particularly sensitive estimate that could affect stock-based compensation expense, the Company does not believe that it is likely to significantly change in the foreseeable future.
Insurance Recoveries	'
	Insurance Recoveries
	Insurance recoveries related to impairment losses recorded and other recoverable expenses are recognized up to the amount of the related loss or expense in the period that recoveries are deemed probable.  Insurance recoveries under business interruption coverage and insurance gains in excess of amounts written off related to impaired merchandise inventories and property and equipment are recognized when they are realizable and all contingencies have been resolved.  The evaluation of insurance recoveries requires estimates and judgments about future results which affect reported amounts and certain disclosures.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Refer to Note 15 to these financial statements for additional discussion.
Use of Estimates	'
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Significant estimates include net realizable value of merchandise inventories, valuation of long-lived assets (including goodwill and intangible assets), useful lives associated with amortization and depreciation of intangible assets, property and equipment, stock compensation and valuation of deferred tax assets.
Reclassifications	'
	Reclassifications
	Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior fiscal years’ amounts to conform to the current fiscal year’s presentation.
Derivative Instruments	'
	Derivative Instruments
	The Company does not currently utilize derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to changes in interest rates, although it has done so in prior years and will be required to do so under its senior credit facility if requested by the administrative agent at any time after the one month LIBO Rate (as defined in the senior credit facility) exceeds 1.50%.  The Company does not use financial instruments or derivatives for any trading or other speculative purposes.  Hedge effectiveness is measured by comparing the change in fair value of the hedged item to the change in fair value of the derivative instrument.  The effective portion of the gain or loss of the hedge is recorded as other comprehensive income (loss) in the periods presented, if applicable.  Any ineffective portion of the hedge, as well as amounts not included in the assessment of effectiveness, is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations under the caption “interest expense.”  The Company has not applied hedge accounting on its interest rate cap agreement.
