Amortized intangible assets are being amortized by the
straight-line method over periods ranging from 3 to 20 years and amortization expense is reflected throughout operating expenses. Intangible assets of $500,000 were acquired in the retail supermarkets segments in the three months ended December 24, 2011.  Aggregate amortization expense of intangible assets for the three months ended December 24, 2011 and December 25, 2010 was $1,132,000 and $1,293,000, respectively.
Estimated amortization expense for the next five fiscal years is approximately $4,500,000 in 2012, $4,400,000 in 2013 and 2014, $4,300,000 in 2015 and $4,100,000 in 2016. The weighted average amortization period of the intangible assets is 10.1 years.
