(1) On June 11, 2012, Weis Markets, Inc. acquired three former Genuardi’s stores located in Conshohocken, Doylestown and Norristown, Pennsylvania from Safeway Inc. On August 23, 2009, the Company acquired eleven Giant Markets stores located in Broome County, New York including units in Binghamton, Vestal, Endicott, Endwell and Johnson City.

The Company supports its retail operations through a centrally located distribution facility, its own transportation fleet, three manufacturing facilities and its administrative offices. The Compan y is required to use a significant amount of working capital to provide for the necessary amount of inventory to meet demand for its products through efficient use of buying power and effective utilization of space in its distribution facilities. The manufacturing facilities consist of a meat processing plant, an ice cream plant and a milk processing plant.

The Company operates in a highly competitive market place. The number and the variety of competitors vary by market. The Company’s principal competition consists of international, national, regional and local food chains, as well as independent food stores. The Company also faces substantial competition from convenience stores, membership warehouse clubs, specialty retailers, supercenters and large-scale drug and pharmaceutical chains. The Company continues to effectively compete by offering a strong combination of value, quality and service.

The Company currently employs approximately 17,900 full-time and part-time associates.

The Company makes available, free of charge, on the “Corporate Information” section of its web site, its annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company electronically files such material or furnishes it to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) by clicking on the “SEC Information” link.

These materials include the corporate governance guidelines; the charters of the Audit, Compensation and Disclosure Committees; and both the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and the Code of Ethics for the CEO and CFO. A copy of the foregoing corporate governance materials is available upon written request to the Company’s principal executive offices.

Item 1a. Risk Factors:

In addition to risks and uncertainties in the ordinary course of business common to all businesses, important factors are listed below specific to the Company and its industry, which could materially impact its future performance.

The Company’s industry is highly competitive. If the Company is unable to compete effectively, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations could be materially affected.

The retail food industry is intensely price competitive, and the competition the Company encounters may have a negative impact on product retail prices. The financial results may be adversely impacted by a competitive environment that could cause the Company to reduce retail prices without a reduction in its product cost to maintain market share; thus reducing sales and gross profit margins.

The trade area of the Company is located within a region and is subject to the economic, social and climate variables of that region.

The Company’s stores are concentrated in central and northeast Pennsylvania, central Maryland, suburban Baltimore regions and the Southern Tier of New York. Changes in economic and social conditions in the Company’s operating regions, including fluctuations in the inflation rate along with changes in population and employment and job growth rates, affect customer shopping habits. These changes may negatively impact sales and earnings. Business disruptions due to weather and catastrophic events historically have been few. The Company’s geographic regions could receive an extreme variance in the amount of annual snowfall that may materially affect sales and expense results.

The Company may be unable to retain key management personnel.

The Company's success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of senior management. The loss of any key member of management may prevent the Company from implementing its business plans in a timely manner. In addition, employment conditions specifically may affect the Company’s ability to hire and train qualified associates.

Item 1a. Risk Factors: (continued)

Food safety issues could result in the loss of consumer confidence in the Company.

Customers count on the Company to provide them with wholesome food products. Concerns regarding the safety of food products sold in its stores could cause shoppers to avoid purchasing certain products from the Company, or to seek alternative sources of supply for all of their food needs, even if the basis for the concern is outside of the Company’s control. Any lost confidence on the part of its customers would be difficult and costly to reestablish. As such, any issue regarding the safety of any food items sold by the Company, regardless of the cause, could have a substantial and adverse effect on operations.

The failure to execute expansion plans could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of its operations.

Circumstances outside the Company’s control could negatively impact anticipated capital investments in store, distribution and manufacturing projects, information technology and equipment. The Company cannot determine with certainty whether its new stores will be successful. The failure to expand by successfully opening new stores as planned, or the failure of a significant number of these stores to perform as planned, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and results of its operations.

Disruptions or security breaches in the Company’s information technology systems could adversely affect results.

The Company’s business is highly dependent on complex information technology systems that are vital to its continuing operations. If the Company was to experience difficulties maintaining existing systems or implementing new systems, significant losses could be incurred due to disruptions in its operations. Additionally, these systems contain valuable proprietary data as well as receipt and storage o f personal information about its associates and customers, in particular electronic payment data and personal health information that, if breached, would have an adverse effect on the Company. Such an occurrence could adversely affect the Company’s reputation with its customers, associates, and vendors, as well as the Company’s operations, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and could result in litigation against the Company or the imposition of penalties. Moreover, a security breach could require the expenditure of significant additional resources to further upgrade the security measures that the Company employs to guard such important personal information against cyberattacks and other attempts to access such information and could result in a disruption of operations.

The Company is affected by certain operating costs which could increase or fluctuate considerably.

Associate expenses contribute to the majority of the Company’s operating costs. The Company's financial performance is potentially affected by increasing wage and benefit costs, a competitive labor market, regulatory wage increases and the risk of unionized labor disruptions of its non-union workforce. The Company's profit is particularly sensitive to the cost of oil. Oil prices directly affect the Company's product transportation costs, as well as its utility and petroleum-based supply costs. It also affects the costs of its suppliers, which impacts its cost of goods.

Various aspects of the Company’s business are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations.

The Company is subject to various federal, state and local laws, regulations and administrative practices that affect the Company’s business. The Company must comply with numerous provisions regulating health and sanitation standards, food labeling, equal employment opportunity, minimum wages and licensing for the sale of food, drugs and alcoholic beverages. The Company’s compliance with these regulations may require additional capital expenditures and could adversely affect the Company’s ability to conduct the Company’s business as planned. Management cannot predict either the nature of future laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, or the effect either additional government regulations or administrative orders, when and if promulgated, or disparate federal, state, and local regulatory schemes would have on the Company’s future business. They could, however, require the reformulation of certain products to meet new standards, the recall or discontinuance of certain products not able to be reformulated, additional record keeping, expanded documentation of the properties of certain products, expanded or different labeling and/or scientific substantiation. Any or all of such requirements could have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

Item 1a. Risk Factors: (continued)

Unexpected factors affecting self-insurance claims and reserve estimates could adversely affect the Company.

The Company uses a combination of insurance and self-insurance to provide for potential liabilities for workers' compensation, general liability, vehicle accident, property and associate medical benefit claims. Management estimates the liabilities associated with the risks retained by the Company, in part, by considering historical claims experience, demographic and severity factors and other actuarial assumptions which, by their nature, are subject to a high degree of variability. Any projection of losses concerning workers’ compensation and general liability is subject to a high degree of variability. Among the causes of this variability are unpredictable external factors affecting future inflation rates, discount rates, litigation trends, legal interpretations, benefit level changes and claim settlement patterns.

The Company was liable for associate health claims up to an annual maximum of $750,000 per member prior to March 1, 2012, $1,250,000 per member prior to March 1, 2013, $2,000,000 per member prior to March 1, 2014 and an unlimited amount per member as of March 1, 2014. The Company is liable for workers' compensation claims up to $2,000,000 per claim. Property and casualty insurance coverage is maintained with outside carriers at deductible or retention levels ranging from $100,000 to $1,000,000. T he Company, for the benefit of cost savings, has accepted the risk of an unusual amount of independent multiple material claims arising, which could have a significant impact on earnings.

Changes in tax laws may result in higher income tax.

The Company's future effective tax rate may increase from current rates due to changes in laws and the status of pending items with various taxing authorities. Currently, the Company benefits from a combination of its corporate structure and certain state tax laws.

The Company’s investment portfolio may suffer losses from changes in market interest rates and changes in market conditions which could adversely affect results of operations or liquidity.

As of December 28, 2013, the Company had $18.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, $63.1 million in marketable securities and $8.8 million in SERP (Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan) investment (level 1 mutual funds). The Company’s marketable securities consist of municipal bonds and equity securities. These investments are subject to general credit, liquidity, market and interest rate risks. Substantially all of these securities are subject to interest rate and credit risk and will decline in value if interest rates increase or one of the issuers’ credit ratings is reduced. As a result, the Company may experience a reduction in value or loss of liquidity from investments, which may have a negative impact on the Company’s results of operations, liquidity and financial condition. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insures amounts up to $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank, for each account ownership category. The Company has balances in bank accounts that may exceed the insured amount leaving the Company exposed for any amounts over the $250,000 limit.

The Company is a controlled Company due to the common stock holdings of the Weis family.

The Weis family’s share ownership represents approximately 65% of the combined voting power of the Company’s common stock as of December 28, 2013. As a result, the Weis family has the power to elect a majority of the Company’s directors and approve any action requiring the approval of the shareholders of the Company, including adopting certain amendments to the Company’s charter and approving mergers or sales of substantially all of the Company’s assets. Currently, two of the Company’s six directors are members of the Weis family.

Changes in vendor promotions or allowances, including the way vendors target their promotional spending, and the Company's ability to effectively manage these programs could significantly impact margins and profitability.

The Company cooperatively engages in a variety of promotional programs with its vendors. As the parties assess the results of specific promotions and plan for future promotions, the nature of these programs and the allocation of dollars among them changes over time. The Company manages these programs to maintain or improve margins while at the same time increasing sales. A reduction in overall promotional spending or a shift by vendors in promotional spending away from certain types of promotions that the Company and its customers have historically utilized could have a significant impact on profitability.

Strategic Imperatives

The following strategic imperatives will be focused upon by the Company to attempt to ensure the success of the Company in the coming years:

| · |  | Establish a Sales Driven Culture – The Company continues to focus on sales and profits growth, improved operating discipline, increased productivity and positive cash flow. The Company believes disciplined growth will increase its market share and operating profits, resulting in enhanced shareholder value. The Company’s method of driving sales includes focused preparation and execution of sales programs, investing in new stores and remodels, and strategic acquisitions. Communicating clear executable standards and aligning performance measures across the organization will help to instill a sales-driven operating environment.

| · |  | Continuously Upgrade Organizational Talent Pool – In support of the Company’s growth and sales building strategies, the Company is committed to growing leaders at every level throughout the organization through enhanced leadership development programs, succession planning, and establishing rewarding career paths. The Company believes that improved associate talent directly impacts the ability to execute strategic plans and views this as a strategic imperative for future growth.

| · |  | Become More Relevant to Consumers – Understanding the consumer is crucial to the Company’s strategic plan. Research can be done by studying the wants and needs of core consumers and casual consumers. Measuring customer satisfaction and sharing insights across the organization will help communication between management and its consumers. The Company strives to build customer loyalty by purchasing produce from local growers and supporting organizations within the communities it serves. It will continue to invest in new stores, remodels and additions and strategic acquisitions, to help retain and attract new consumers.

| · |  | Create Meaningful Differentiation – The Company has identified product pricing, locally focused store assortments, shopping experience, overall convenience and customer service as critical components of future success. The strategy includes developing improved customer service training and setting customer service measurements and goals. As part of this strategy, management is committed to offering its customers a strong combination of quality, service and value. It will continue to offer competitive prices on name brand and private brand products to exceed customers’ expectations.

| · |  | Significantly Improve Decision Support and Measurement – The Company will continue to make investments in its information technology systems and distribution network. This will help improve associate productivity, store conditions and the overall customer experience with user-friendly, support driven systems. These systems will also continue to play a key role in the measurement of the Company’s strategic decisions and provide valuable insight into customer behavior, shopping trends, and financial returns. Management will continue to streamline its supply chain by focusing on improving inventory turns, cost per case, in-stock position and overall service levels, which will help to improve in-store conditions and result in increased sales and profits.

| · |  | Focus on Sustainability Strategies – The Company continues to focus on green best-practices, conservation, food and agricultural impact and social responsibility. The Company views being good stewards in the communities where we operate as an important component of overall success. In 2013, strategies were implemented to reduce the Company’s carbon footprint. One of these strategies included reducing the number of miles the Company’s transportation fleet travels by mapping more efficient travel routes. During 2012, the fleet traveled 10,483,000 miles, compared to 10,108,000 miles in 2013, a reduction of 375,000 miles or 3.6%. Food sustainability and the impact on the environment will continue to influence the Company’s strategic plans.

Income is earned by selling merchandise at price levels that produce revenues in excess of cost of merchandise sold and operating and administrative expenses. Although the Company may experience short term fluctuations in its earnings due to unforeseen short-term operating cost increases, it historically has been able to increase revenues and maintain stable earnings from year to year.

Net Sales

The Company's revenues are earned and cash is generated as merchandise is sold to customers at the point of sale. Discounts provided to customers by the Company at the point of sale are recognized as a reduction in sales as products are sold or over the life of a promotional program if redeemable in the future. Discounts provided by vendors, usually in the form of paper coupons, are not recognized as a reduction in sales provided the coupons are redeemable at any retailer that accepts coupons.

Total store sales decreased 0.3% in 2013, a 52-week period, compared to 2012, a 52-week period. Excluding fuel sales, total sales decreased 0.4%. Total store sales decreased 1.9% from 2012, compared to 2011, a 53-week period. Excluding fuel sales, total sales decreased 2.3%. Adjusting for the extra week in 2011, there was no change in total sales from 2012 to 2011. Excluding fuel sales and adjusting for the extra week in 2011, total sales decreased 0.4% in 2012 compared to 2011.

When calculating the percentage change in comparable store sales, the Company defines a new store to be comparable when it has been in operation for five full quarters. Relocated stores and stores with expanded square footage are included in comparable store sales since these units are located in existing markets and are open during construction. Planned store dispositions are excluded from the calculation. The Company only includes retail food stores in the calculation.

Results of Operations (continued)

Comparable store sales decreased 2.6% in 2013, a 52-week period, compared to 2012, a 52-week period. Excluding fuel sales, comparable store sales decreased 2.7%. The 2013 sales decline is attributed to increased competition, cycling the 2012 sales impact of Hurricane Sandy and a decline in food stamp/SNAP (the United States Department of Agriculture’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) spending in its stores, which accelerated in the fourth quarter with the reduction in SNAP benefits that went into effect November 1, 2013. Comparable store sales decreased 2.0% in 2012, compared to 2011, a 53-week period. Excluding fuel sales, comparable store sales decreased 2.4% in 2012 compared to 2011. Adjusting for the extra week in 2011, comparable store sales decreased 0.1% in 2012 compared to 2011. Excluding fuel sales and adjusting for the extra week in 2011, comparable store sales decreased 0.5% in 2012 compared to 2011.

The Company's operating regions continue to be hindered by slow economic growth, high unemployment and declining household income, particularly in Northeastern Pennsylvania, New York's Southern Tier and the Lehigh Valley and Pocono areas of Central Pennsylvania. In addition, the Company’s customers were impacted by the reduction in SNAP benefits. Many customers remain cautious in their spending and continue to focus on value and long term savings.

To meet these needs, the Company continued to make significant investments in its "Price Freeze" and "Get Grillin'" promotional programs. The Company ran two "Price Freeze" programs in 2013. The first program froze prices on more than 2,000 products for a thirteen-week period. The second “Price Freeze” program froze prices on over 1,500 items for a thirteen-week period. The Company launched a twel f th round of its "Price Freeze" program on December 29, 2013, which has proven to be an enduring and relevant promotion for our customers during challenging economic times. This program froze prices on more than 2,000 products for a thirteen-week period. The "Get Grillin'" promotional program was a reduced pricing program on top items throughout the store that our customers found to be the most seasonally relevant. This program lowered prices of approximately 1,200 items for a fifteen-week period. In addition, the Company introduced a promotional program in October 2013 which reduced the price of over 300 Weis Quality products by 10% through the end of the year.

In addition to the "Price Freeze" and "Get Grillin'" promotional programs, the Company also offered its “Gas Rewards” program in most markets. The “Gas Rewards” program allows Weis Preferred Shoppers club card members to earn gas discounts resulting from their in-store purchases. Customers can redeem these gas discounts at Sheetz convenience stores, located in most of the Company’s markets, at Manley’s Mighty Mart Valero locations, in the Binghamton, NY market or at any of the twenty-three Weis Gas-n-Go locations.

The Company continued to employ a disciplined marketing and advertising strategy, along with targeted promotional activity in key markets, to help maintain its market share and increase its profits. During 2013, the Company generated a 0.7% increase in average sales per customer transaction, while the number of identical customer store visits declined by 3.3%. In the fourth quarter of 2011, in preparation for the Company’s 100 th anniversary celebration in 2012, the Company launched its Gold Card program, an extension of its existing Preferred Club Shopper program. The Gold Card program targets the Company’s best shoppers with personalized offers and strong values to help them save money. In 2014, the Company started an aggressive sales building program, notably its Three Ways to Save sales initiative, which offers discounts on more than 2,000 products and includes its Prize Freeze, Lowest Price Guarantee and Everyday Lower Price programs.

Comparable center store sales decreased 3.4% in 2013, compared to 2012. Center store was impacted by stagnant sales performance in key center store categories, increased competition and a decline in food stamp/SNAP spending in its stores, which accelerated in the fourth quarter with the reduction in SNAP benefits that went into effect November 1, 2013. Comparable fuel sales declined 8.3% in 2013, compared to 2012. Sales were affected by fuel price deflation in 2013, which resulted in lower retail gas sales.

Results of Operations (continued)

Comparable deli sales decreased 4.6% in 2013, compared to 2012, and 2.8% in 2012 compared to 2011, adjusting for the extra week in 2011. Sales declined in 2013 and 2012 as a result of emergency sales surges in October 2012 and September 2011, respectively, caused by flooding due to Hurricane Sandy in 2012 and Hurricanes Irene and Lee in 2011, which impacted regions of Pennsylvania and southern New York, where the majority of the Company's stores are located. Customers were unable to prepare meals at home for extended periods of time in 2012 and 2011, resulting in increased deli sales. Additionally, 2013 sales were negatively affected by deli salad recalls occurring in September and which continued to impact the fourth quarter, due to a disruption in supply.

Comparable meat sales decreased 2.5% in 2013, compared to 2012. With the cost of meat rising, the Company made the strategic decision to reduce retail prices in order to encourage meat sales. The Company sold 256,084 more pounds of meat in 2013, compared to 2012. Although total tonnage of meat sold increased, comparable meat sales decreased over the previous fiscal year due to the retail price reduction strategy.

Comparable pharmacy sales decreased 2.2% in 2013, compared to 2012. Adjusting for the extra week in 2011, pharmacy sales decreased 3.1% in 2012 compared to 2011. Pharmacy sales were impacted by a $15.3 million and $10.4 million decline in 2013 and 2012, respectively, due to the conversion of brand drugs to generic. Generics are sold at lower retail prices, decreasing total pharmacy sales. While sales dropped significantly in dollars because of the increased utilization of generic pharmaceuticals, the number of units sold in comparable stores decreased 0.4% in 2013 compared to 2012 but increased 0.4% in 2012 compared to 2011. As part of management's strategy to offset this decline, the Company emphasized a continued focus on immunization while implementing in-store pet medications and a medication synchronization program.

Management remains confident in its ability to generate sales growth in a highly competitive environment, but also understands some competitors have greater financial resources and could use these resources to take measures which could adversely affect the Company's competitive position.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit

Cost of sales consists of direct product costs (net of discounts and allowances), distribution center and transportation costs, as well as manufacturing facility operations.

According to the latest U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ report, the annual Seasonally Adjusted Food-at-Home Consumer Price Index increased 0.9% in 2013, 2.4% in 2012 and 4.8% in 2011. The annual Seasonally Adjusted Producer Price Index for Finished Consumer Foods increased 2.3% in 2013, 2.5% in 2012 and 6.3% in 2011. Despite the fluctuation of retail and wholesale prices, the Company maintained a gross profit rate of 27.7% in 2013, 27.5% in 2012 and 26.7% in 2011. Even though the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ index rates may be reflective of a trend, it will not necessarily be indicative of the Company’s actual results.

The Company experienced a LIFO charge of $692,000 for 2013, compared to a charge of $1.2 million for 2012 and a charge of $8.7 million in 2011. Significant wholesale price inflation occurred during 2011. With the exception of pharmacy, the Company expects wholesale price inflation to increase slightly in 2014.

The Company's profitability is impacted by the cost of oil. Fluctuating fuel prices affect the delivered cost of product and the cost of other petroleum-based supplies such as plastic bags. As a percentage of sales, the cost of diesel fuel used by the Company to deliver goods from its distribution center to its stores remained unchanged in 2013 compared to 2012 and in 2012 compared to 2011. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the 52-week average diesel fuel price for the Central Atlantic States decreased $0.09 per gallon to $4.01 per gallon as of December 23, 2013, compared to $4.10 per gallon as of December 24, 2012. Based upon the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s current projections, the Company is expecting diesel fuel prices to slightly decrease during 2014.

Results of Operations (continued)

Although the Company experienced product cost inflation and deflation in various commodities in 2013, 2012 and 2011, management cannot accurately measure the full impact of inflation or deflation on retail pricing due to changes in the types of merchandise sold between periods, shifts in customer buying patterns and the fluctuation of competitive factors.

Operating, General and Administrative Expenses

Business operating costs including expenses generated from administration and purchasing functions, are recorded in "Operating, general and administrative expenses." Business operating costs include items such as wages, benefits, utilities, repairs and maintenance, advertising costs and credits, rent, insurance, equipment depreciation, leasehold amortization and costs for outside provided services.

The Company may not be able to recover rising expenses through increased prices charged to its customers. Any delay in the Company's response to unforeseen cost increases or competitive pressures that prevent its ability to raise prices may cause earnings to suffer. A majority of our associates are paid hourly rates related to federal and state minimum wage laws. Although we have and will continue to attempt to pass along any increased labor costs through food price increases, there can be no assurance that all such increased labor costs can be reflected in our prices or that increased prices will be absorbed by consumers without diminishing consumer spending to some degree. However, to date, we have not experienced a significant reduction in profit margins as a result of changes in such laws, and management does not anticipate any significant related future reductions in gross profit margins.

Employee-related costs such as wages, employer paid taxes, health care benefits and retirement plans, comprise over 60% of the total “Operating, general and administrative expenses.” Employee-related costs increased 1.2% in 2013 compared to 2012 and increased 1.0% in 2012 compared to 2011, inclusive of the extra week in 2011. As a percent of sales, employee-related costs increased 0.2% in 2013 compared to 2012 and increased 0.4% in 2012 compared to 2011. As a percent of sales, direct store labor increased 0.3% in 2013 compared to 2012 and 0.2% in 2012 compared to 2011.

The Company expensed $2.0 million, $1.1 million and $111,000 in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, due to adjustments made to the non-qualified supplemental executive retirement plan resulting from a rise in the equity market. See Note 6 Retirement Plans, of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on the Company’s retirement plans.

The Company’s self-insured health care benefit expenses decreased 14.9% in 2013 compared to 2012 and increased 5.4% in 2012 compared to 2011. During 2013, the Company incurred less expensive health care claims, compared to 2012. The Company remains concerned about the potential impact that The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will have on its future operating expenses.

On September 21, 2013, the Company entered into a separation agreement with the former President and Chief Executive Officer. The Company's "Operating, general and administrative expenses" were negatively impacted by the charge of $6.1 million worth of estimated expenses related to the separation agreement. See Exhibit 10, filed with the quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed on November 7, 2013, for more information pertaining to the separation agreement.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $58.3 million, or 2.2% of net sales, for 2013 compared to $50.7 million, or 1.9% of net sales, for 2012 and $59.4 million, or 2.2% of net sales, for 2011. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense in 2013 compared to 2012 was the result of additional capital expenditures as the Company implements its capital expansion program. In the first quarter of 2012, the Company changed its accounting policy for property and equipment. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense in 2012 compared to 2011 resulted from the Company's change in depreciation method for this group of assets from accelerated methods to straight-line, despite additional capital expenditures as the Company implements its capital e xpansion program. See Note 1 (j) to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on the Company’s change in accounting estimate related to depreciation expense. See the Liquidity and Capital Resources section for further information regarding the Company’s capital expansion program.

Results of Operations (continued)

The Company recognized pre-tax gains of $2.9 million and $1.7 million in 2013 and 2012, respec t ively, from the sale of two properties in 2013 and one property in 2012. In 2013, the Company determined that the asset value of four properties was impaired. As a result, the Company recognized a pre-tax impairment loss of $2.1 million. See Note 1(l) to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on the Company's impairment charges. Earnings were further impacted in 2013 by a $680,000 adjustment to liabilities for future expenses on closed stores.

Retail store profitability is sensitive to volatility in utility costs due to the amount of electricity and gas required to operate the Company's stores and facilities. The Company is responding to this volatility in operating costs by employing conservation technologies, procurement strategies and associate energy awareness programs to manage and reduce consumption. The Company is a member of the EPA GreenChill program for advancing environmentally beneficial refrigerant management systems. The Company was awarded the GreenChill Distinguished Partner Award for leadership in refrigerant management due to the demonstrated extraordinary leadership and initiative in achieving GreenChill’s mission in 2013. This past year, the Company received 3 Gold Level Certified Stores. In total, the Company has nine stores registered under the EPA Green Chill program. In 2012, t he Company replaced its existing lighting system at its 1.1 million square-foot distribution center with low watt fluorescent and LED lighting, reducing energy consumption by 80% and operating costs by 30%. Its new store prototypes contain skylights that harvest natural daylight to reduce lighting costs, LED lighting and motion sensors in its frozen departments and energy management systems. All Company stores have an assigned Energy Captain to promote in-store energy conservation. Through these initiatives, with the added benefit of clement weather and a declining market in electricity costs, the Company’s utility expense decreased by 2.6% in 2013 compared to 2012 and decreased 8.6% in 2012 compared to 2011.

Above average snowfall and significant ice storms struck the Mid-Atlantic states, the Company's operating region, in the first quarter of 2011. In order to hedge the Company's potential snow removal expense against drastic swings and divert the associated risk, the Company entered into a fixed rate three year contractual arrangement for snow and ice removal in November 2011. As a result, these expenses only increased $10,000 in 2013 compared to 2012 and snow removal costs decreased $336,000 in 2012 compared to 2011.

The Company’s income from the sale of cardboard salvage decreased $195,000 in 2013 compared to 2012 and decreased $1.5 million in 2012 compared to 2011. This was due to decreased price per ton of cardboard in 2012 compared to 2011 and a reduction in volume salvaged.

Investment Income

The Company’s investment portfolio consists of marketable securities which currently includes municipal bonds and equity securities. The Company classifies all of its marketable securities as available-for-sale. The Company experienced an $868,000 increase on gains recognized on the sale of equity securities in 2013 compared to 2012.

Other Income

Upon completion, the Company recognized a gain of $414,000 on the bargain purchase of three former Genuardi locations in the Delaware Valley region of Pennsylvania, from Safeway Inc., in the second quarter of 2012.

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate was 38.1%, 37.0% and 35.7% in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The rate increased starting in 2012 due to the decrease in the domestic production deduction also referred to as the Section 199 deduction. The qualifying manufacturing sales decreased during 2011 resulting in a sizeable provision to return adjustment which results in a higher effective tax rate. The 2012 manufacturing sales also decreased. Therefore, the deduction was reduced compared to the 2011 deduction resulting in a higher effective tax rate. The effective income tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the effect of state taxes, net of permanent differences.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operating activities was $142.6 million in 2013 compared to $124.0 million in 2012 and $152.4 million in 2011. In 2013, management implemented new inventory control buying procedures that increased distribution center efficiencies. Under these new buying procedures, a decrease in inventories in the Company's distribution center was expected. The distribution center inventory level decreased an average of $7.0 million during the last nine fiscal months of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. The Company's overall inventory level only decreased by $4.8 million in 2013 compared to 2012 as a result of holding more inventory at year end for the holidays and the addition of larger stores during the year. Working capital decreased 7.9% in 2013, increased 2.7% in 2012 and decreased 4.7% in 2011, in each case compared to the prior year. The 2013 decrease in working capital is primarily due to the utilization of marketable securities to fund the Company’s capital expansion program and the 2011 decrease is a result of the special dividend issued to shareholders in the fourth quarter.

Net cash used in investing act ivities was $106.8 million in 2013, compared to $107.8 million in 2012 and $165.9 million in 2011. These funds were used primarily to purchase marketable securities and property and equipment in the three fiscal years presented. While the Company purchased marketable securities in all three years presented, the Company’s net marketable securities transactions resulted in the disposal of $18.7 million in 2013, compared to the sale of $6.2 million in 2012 and the purchase of $57.2 million in 2011. Property and equipment purchases totaled $128.1 million in 2013 compared to $115.9 million in 2012, which in 2012 included the acquisition of a business, and $110.5 million in 2011. In 2012, the Company acquired three former Genuardi stores for $6.1 million. As a percentage of sales, capital expenditures including the acquisition were 4.8%, 4.3% and 4.0% in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Proceeds from the sale of property and equipment increased $1.9 million in 2013 compared to 2012, primarily due to the sale of two properties for $3.2 million in the second quarter of 2013.

The Company’s capital expansion program includes the construction of new superstores, the expansion and remodeling of existing units, the acquisition of sites for future expansion, new technology purchases and the continued upgrade of the Company’s distribution facilities and transportation fleet. Management estimates that its current development plans will require an investment of approximately $100.0 million in 2014.

Net cash used in financing activities of $32.3 million, $32.3 million and $58.4 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, solely consisted of dividend payments to shareholders. A special dividend was declared during the fourth quarter of 2011. At December 28, 2013, the Company had outstanding letters of credit of $19.2 million. The letters of credit are maintained primarily to support performance, payment, deposit or surety obligations of the Company. The Company does not anticipate drawing on any of them.

Total cash dividend payments on common stock, on a per share basis, amounted to $1.20 in 2013, $1.20 in 2012 and $2.17 in 2011. No treasury stock was purchased in 2013, 2012 or 2011. The Board of Directors’ 2004 resolution authorizing the repurchase of up to one million shares of the Company’s common stock has a remaining balance of 752,468 shares.

The Company has no other commitment of capital resources as of December 28, 2013, other than the lease commitments on its store facilities under operating leases that expire at various dates through 2029. The Company anticipates funding its working capital requirements and its $100.0 million capital expansion program through cash and investment reserves and future internally generated cash flows from operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)

The Company’s earnings and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in interest rates as they relate to available-for-sale securities and any future long-term debt borrowings. The Company’s marketable securities portfolio currently consists of municipal bonds and equity securities. Other short-term investments are classified as cash equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Under its current policies, the Company invests in high-grade marketable debt securities and does not use interest rate derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate fluctuations. Currently, the Company’s investment strategy of obtaining marketable debt securities with maturity dates between one and ten years helps to minimize market risk and to maintain a balance between risk and return. The equity securities owned by the Company consist primarily of stock held in large capitalized companies trading on public security exchange markets. The Company’s management continually monitors the risk associated with its marketable securities. A quantitative tabular presentation of risk exposure is located in “Item 7a. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” of this report.

By their nature, these financial instruments inherently expose the holders to market risk. The extent of the Company’s interest rate and other market risk is not quantifiable or predictable with precision due to the variability of future interest rates and other changes in market conditions. However, the Company believes that its exposure in this area is not material.

The Company experienced unrealized holding losses net of deferred taxes of $36,000 in 2013 and $9,000 in 2012, compared to an unrealized holding gain net of deferred taxes of $1.4 million in 2011 (see Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income). As of December 28, 2013, the Company had $7.9 million in gross unrealized holding gains and $1.2 million in gross unrealized holding losses related to marketable securities. See Note 2 Marketable Securities, of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on the Company’s marketable securities.

Total | $ | 223,060 | $ | 33,651 | $ | 60,757 | $ | 46,445 | $ | 82,207

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company is not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, except for the possibility that the Financial Accounting Standards Board could require the Company's store leases to be recognized on the balance sheet.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company has chosen accounting policies that it believes are appropriate to accurately and fairly report its operating results and financial position, and the Company applies those accounting policies in a consistent manner. The Significant Accounting Policies are summarized in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. In the first quarter of 2012, the Company changed its accounting policy for the depreciation of proper ty and equipment. See Note 1 (j) to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on the Company’s change in accounting estimate related to depreciation expense.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations: (continued)

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates (continued)

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires that the Company makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical and other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company evaluates these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and may retain outside consultants, lawyers and actuaries to assist in its evaluation. The Company believes the following accounting policies are the most critical because they involve the most significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

Vendor Allowances

Vendor allowances related to the Company's buying and merchandising activities are recorded as a reduction of cost of sales as they are earned, in accordance with the underlying agreement. Off-invoice and bill-back allowances are used to reduce direct product costs upon the receipt of goods. Promotional rebates and credits are accounted for as a reduction in the cost of inventory and recognized when the related inventory is sold. Volume incentive discounts are realized as a reduction of cost of sales at the time it is deemed probable and reasonably estimable that the incentive target will be reached. Long-term contract incentives, which require an exclusive vendor relationship, are allocated over the life of the contract. Promotional allowance funds for specific vendor-sponsored programs are recognized as a reduction of cost of sales as the program occurs and the funds are earned per the agreement. Cash discounts for prompt payment of invoices are realized in cost of sales as invoices are paid. Warehouse and back-haul allowances provided by suppliers for distributing their product through the Company’s distribution system are recorded in cost of sales as the required performance is completed. Warehouse rack and slotting allowances are recorded in cost of sales when new items are initially set up in the Company's distribution system, which is when the related expenses are incurred and performance under the agreement is complete. Swell allowances for damaged goods are realized in cost of sales as provided by the supplier, helping to offset product shrink losses also recorded in cost of sales.

Store Closing Costs

The Company provides for closed store liabilities relating to the estimated post-closing lease liabilities and related other exit costs associated with the store closing commitments. The closed store liabilities are usually paid over the lease terms associated with the closed stores having remaining terms ranging from one to five years. At December 28, 2013, closed store lease liabilities totaled $1,193,000. The Company estimates the lease liabilities, net of estimated sublease income, using the undiscounted rent payments of closed stores. Other exit costs include estimated real estate taxes, common area maintenance, insurance and utility costs to be incurred after the store closes over the remaining lease term. Store closings are generally completed within one year after the decision to close. Adjustments to closed store liabilities and other exit costs primarily relate to changes in subtenants and actual exit costs differing from original estimates. Adjustments are made for changes in estimates in the period in which changes become known. Any excess store closing liability remaining upon settlement of the obligation is reversed to income in the period that such settlement is determined. Inventory write-downs, if any, in connection with store closings, are classified in cost of sales. Costs to transfer inventory and equipment from closed stores are expensed as incurred. Store closing liabilities are reviewed quarterly to ensure that any accrued amount that is no longer needed for its originally intended purpose is reversed to income in the proper period.

Self-Insurance

The Company is self-insured for a majority of its workers’ compensation, general liability, vehicle accident and associate medical benefit claims. The self-insurance liability for most of the workers’ compensation claims is determined based on historical data and an estimate of claims incurred but not reported. The other self-insurance liabilities are determined actuarially, based on claims filed and an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported. The Company was liable for associate health claims up to an annual maximum of $750,000 per member prior to March 1, 2012, $1,250,000 per member prior to March 1, 2013, $2,000,000 per member prior to March 1, 2014 and an unlimited amount per member as of March 1, 2014. The Company is liable for workers' compensation claims up to $2,000,000 per claim. Property and casualty insurance coverage is maintained with outside carriers at deductible or retention levels ranging from $100,000 to $1,000,000. Significant assumptions used in the development of the actuarial estimates include reliance on the Company’s historical claims data including average monthly claims and average lag time between incurrence and reporting of the claim.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies utilized in preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements:

(a) Description of Business

Weis Markets, Inc. is a Pennsylvania business corporation formed in 1924. The Company is engaged principally in the retail sale of food in Pennsylvania and surrounding states. There was no material change in the nature of the Company's business during fiscal 2013.

(b) Definition of Fiscal Year

The Company’s fiscal year ends on the last Saturday in December. Fiscal 2013 was comprised of 52 weeks, ending on December 28, 2013. Fiscal 2012 was comprised of 52 weeks, ending on December 29, 2012. Fiscal 2011 was comprised of 53 weeks, ending on December 31, 2011. References to years in this annual report relate to fiscal years.

(c) Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(d) Use of Estimates

Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(e) Reclassifications

The Company has reclassified 2012 balances related to its “SERP investment” (consisting of level 1 mutual funds) out of “Cash and cash equivalents” in the 2012 Consolidated Balance Sheet for a total of $7.1 million. The opening cash impact on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows was $6.8 million and the changes to investing activities in 2012 and 2011, respectively, were immaterial.

(f) Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company maintains its cash balances in the form of core checking accounts and money market accounts. The Company maintains cash deposits with banks that at times exceed applicable insurance limits. The Company reduces its exposure to credit risk by maintaining such deposits with high quality financial institutions that management believes are creditworthy.

The Company considers investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Investment amounts classified as cash equivalents as of December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012 totaled $7.2 million and $992,000, respectively.

(g) Marketable Securities

Marketable securities consist of municipal bonds and equity securities. The Company invests primarily in high-grade marketable debt securities. The Company classifies all of its marketable securities as available-for-sale.

Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value as determined by quoted market price based on national markets. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, are excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity until realized. A decline in the fair value below cost that is deemed other than temporary results in a charge to earnings and the establishment of a new cost basis for the security. Dividend and interest income is recognized when earned. Realized gains and losses are included in earnings and are derived using the specific identification method for determining the cost of securities.

(h) Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are stated net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $1,882,000 and $1,526,000 as of December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively. The reserve balance relates to amounts due from pharmacy third party providers, retail customer returned checks, manufacturing customers and vendors. The Company maintains an allowance for the amount of receivables deemed to be uncollectible and calculates this amount based upon historical collection activity adjusted for current conditions. Customer electronic payments accepted at the point of sale are classified as accounts receivable until collected.

Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(i) Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, using both the last-in, first-out (LIFO) and average cost methods. The Company’s center store and pharmacy inventories are valued using LIFO and the Company’s fresh inventories are valued using average cost. The Company evaluates inventory shortages throughout the year based on actual physical counts in its facilities. Allowances for inventory shortages are recorded based on the results of these counts and to provide for estimated shortages from the last physical count to the financial statement date.

(j) Property and Equipment

In the first quarter of 2012, the Company changed its accounting policy for property and equipment. Property and equipment continue to be recorded at cost. Prior to January 1, 2012, the Company provided for depreciation of buildings and improvements and equipment using accelerated methods. Effective January 1, 2012, the Company changed its method of depreciation for this group of assets from the accelerated methods to straight-line. Management deemed the change preferable because the straight-line method will more accurately reflect the pattern of usage and the expected benefits of such assets. Management also considered that the change will provide greater consistency with the depreciation methods used by other companies in the Company's industry. The change was accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. The net book value of assets acquired prior to January 1, 2012 with useful lives remaining will be depreciated using the straight-line method prospectively. If the Company had continued using accelerated methods, depreciation expense would have been $11.5 million greater in 2012. Had accelerated methods continued to be used, after considering the impact of income taxes, the effect would decrease net income by $6.8 million or $.25 per share in 2012.

Leasehold improvements are unaffected by the change noted above. Leasehold improvements continue to be amortized using the straight line method over the terms of the leases or the useful lives of the assets, whichever is shorter.

Maintenance and repairs are expensed and renewals and betterments are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the assets and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any profit or loss on the disposition is credited or charged to “Operating, general and administrative expenses.”

(k) Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are not amortized until their useful life is determined to be no longer indefinite and are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment for each reporting unit, on an annual basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances.

To derive the fair value of the Company’s sole reporting unit, the Company uses an income approach along with an analysis of its stock value. Under the income approach, fair value of a reporting unit is determined based on estimated future cash flows discounted by an estimated weighted-average cost of capital, which reflects the overall level of inherent risk of the Company. Estimated future cash flows are based on the Company’s internal projection model. The stock value evaluation consists of measuring the average market capitalization of the Company against its total asset value of its sole reporting unit. The Company completes its impairment test in the third quarter of each fiscal year. See Note 1(l) to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on the Company’s impairment of long-lived assets.

Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(k) Goodwill and Intangible Assets (continued)

The Company’s intangible assets and related accumulated amortization at December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012 consisted of the following:

|  |  | December 28, 2013 |  |  |  |  | December 29, 2012 |  |
|  |  | Accumulated |  |  |  |  | Accumulated |  |
(dollars in thousands) |  | Gross | Amortization |  | Net |  | Gross | Amortization |  | Net
Non-Compete Agreements | $ | - | $ | - | $ | - | $ | 1,200 | $ | 1,120 | $ | 80
Lease Acquisitions |  | 3,654 |  | 2,235 |  | 1,419 |  | 5,330 |  | 2,961 |  | 2,369
Liquor Licenses |  | 1,879 |  | 65 |  | 1,814 |  | 942 |  | 22 |  | 920
Customer Lists |  | 120 |  | 6 |  | 114 |  | 120 |  | 2 |  | 118
Total | $ | 5,653 | $ | 2,306 | $ | 3,347 | $ | 7,592 | $ | 4,105 | $ | 3,487

Intangible assets with a definite useful life are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from 15 to 30 years. Estimated amortization expense for the next five fiscal years is approximately $250,000 in 2014, $250,000 in 2015, $250,000 in 2016, $250,000 in 2017 and $250,000 in 2018. As of December 28, 2013, the Company has no intangible assets, other than goodwill, with indefinite lives.

(l) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company periodically evaluates the period of depreciation or amortization for long-lived assets to determine whether current circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. The Company reviews its property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to the net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. An impairment loss would be recorded for the excess of net book value over the fair value of the asset impaired. The fair value is estimated based on expected discounted future cash flows.

With respect to owned property and equipment associated with closed stores, the value of the property and equipment is adjusted to reflect recoverable values based on the Company’s prior history of disposing of similar assets and current economic conditions.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification No. 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2013 for the impairment of long-lived assets, including equipment and leasehold improvements. The charge was a result of management determining that the net book value of four properties was impaired. This charge was included as a component of "Operating, general and administrative expenses."

The results of impairment tests are subject to management’s estimates and assumptions of projected cash flows and operating results. The Company believes that, based on current conditions, materially different reported results are not likely to result from long-lived asset impairments. However, a change in assumptions or market conditions could result in a change in estimated future cash flows and the likelihood of materially different reported results.

(m) Store Closing Costs

The Company provides for closed store liabilities relating to the estimated post-closing lease liabilities and related other exit costs associated with the store closing commitments. Currently, closed stores have remaining lease terms ranging from one to five years, and the liabilities associated with these closed store leases are paid over the terms of the lease. Closed store lease liabilities totaled $1,193,000 and $635,000 as of December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively. The Company estimates the lease liabilities, net of estimated sublease income, using the undiscounted rent payments of closed stores. Adjustments to closed store liabilities primarily relate to changes in sublease income and actual exit costs differing from original estimates. Adjustments are made for changes in estimates in the period in which the change becomes known. Store closing liabilities are reviewed quarterly to ensure that any accrued amount that is not a sufficient estimate of future costs, or that no longer is needed for its originally intended purpose, is adjusted to income in the proper period.

(m) Store Closing Costs (continued)

The following table summarizes accrual activity for future lease obligations of stores that were closed in the normal course of business:

|  |  | Future Lease
(dollars in thousands) |  |  | Obligations
Balance at December 31, 2011 |  | $ | 756
Additions |  |  | 198

Payments |  |  | (33)
Adjustments |  |  | (89)
Balance at December 28, 2013 |  | $ | 1,193

(n) Self-Insurance

The Company is self-insured for a majority of its workers’ compensation, general liability, vehicle accident and associate medical benefit claims. Self-insurance costs are accrued based upon the aggregate of the liability for reported claims and an estimated liability for claims incurred but not reported. The Company was liable for associate health claims up to an annual maximum of $750,000 per member prior to March 1, 2012, $1,250,000 per member prior to March 1, 2013, $2,000,000 per member prior to March 1, 2014 and an unlimited amount per member as of March 1, 2014. The Company is liable for workers' compensation claims up to $2,000,000 per claim. Property and casualty insurance coverage is maintained with outside carriers at deductible or retention levels ranging from $100,000 to $1,000,000.

(o) Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities 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.

(p) Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share are based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding.

(q) Revenue Recognition

Revenue from the sale of products to the Company’s customers is recognized at the point of sale. Discounts provided to customers at the point of sale through the Weis Club Preferred Shopper loyalty program are recognized as a reduction in sales as products are sold. Periodically, the Company will run a point based sales incentive program that rewards customers with future sales discounts. The Company makes reasonable and reliable estimates of the amount of future discounts based upon historical experience and its customer data tracking software. Sales are reduced by these estimates over the life of the program. Discounts to customers at the point of sale provided by vendors, usually in the form of paper coupons, are not recognized as a reduction in sales provided the discounts are redeemable at any retailer that accepts those discounts. The Company records “Deferred revenue” for the sale of gift cards and revenue is recognized in “Net sales” at the time of customer redemption for products. Gift card breakage income is recognized in “Operating, general and administrative expenses” based upon historical redemption patterns and represents the balance of gift cards for which the Company believes the likelihood of redemption by the customer is remote. Sales tax is excluded from “Net sales.” The Company charges sales tax on all taxable customer purchases and remits these taxes monthly to the appropriate taxing jurisdiction. Merchandise return activity is immaterial to revenues.

(r) Cost of Sales, Including Warehousing and Distribution Expenses

“Cost of sales, including warehousing and distribution expenses” consists of direct product (net of discounts and allowances), distribution center and transportation costs, as well as manufacturing facility operations.

(s) Vendor Allowances

Vendor allowances that relate to the Company's buying and merchandising activities are recorded as a reduction of cost of sales as they are earned, in accordance with the underlying agreement. Off-invoice and bill-back allowances are used to reduce direct product costs upon the receipt of goods. Promotional rebates and credits are accounted for as a reduction in the cost of inventory and recognized when the related inventory is sold. Volume incentive discounts are realized as a reduction of cost of sales at the time it is deemed probable and reasonably estimable that the incentive target will be reached. Long-term contract incentives, which require an exclusive vendor relationship, are allocated over the life of the contract. Promotional allowance funds for specific vendor-sponsored programs are recognized as a reduction of cost of sales as the program occurs and the funds are earned per the agreement. Cash discounts for prompt payment of invoices are realized in cost of sales as invoices are paid. Warehouse and back-haul allowances provided by suppliers for distributing their product through the Company’s distribution system are recorded in cost of sales as the required performance is completed. Warehouse rack and slotting allowances are recorded in cost of sales when new items are initially set up in the Company's distribution system, which is when the related expenses are incurred and performance under the agreement is complete. Swell allowances for damaged goods are realized in cost of sales as provided by the supplier, helping to offset product shrink losses also recorded in cost of sales.

Vendor allowances recorded as credits in cost of sales totaled $76.4 million in 2013, $75.1 million in 2012 and $66.5 million in 2011. Vendor paid cooperative advertising credits totaled $16.0 million in 2013, $16.4 million in 2012 and $18.2 million in 2011. These credits were netted against advertising costs within “Operating, general and administrative expenses.” The Company had accounts receivable due from vendors of $440,000 and $609,000 for earned advertising credits and $5.8 million and $4.6 million for earned promotional discounts as of December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively. The Company had $911,000 and $861,000 in unearned income included in accrued liabilities for unearned vendor programs under long-term contracts for display and shelf space allocation as of December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively.

(t) Operating, General and Administrative Expenses

Business operating costs including expenses generated from administration and purchasing functions, are recorded in “Operating, general and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Business operating costs include items such as wages, benefits, utilities, repairs and maintenance, advertising costs and credits, rent, insurance, equipment depreciation, leasehold amortization and costs for outside provided services.

(u) Advertising Costs

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. The Company recorded advertising expense, before vendor paid cooperative advertising credits, of $23.5 million in 2013, $23.5 million in 2012 and $24.7 million in 2011 in “Operating, general and administrative expenses.”

(v) Rental Income

The Company leases or subleases space to tenants in owned, vacated and open store facilities. Rental income is recorded when earned as a component of “Operating, general and administrative expenses.” All leases are operating leases, as disclosed in Note 5.

(w) Current Relevant Accounting Standards

In February 2013, FASB issued additional authoritative guidance on comprehensive income and the reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. This guidance requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. This new guidance is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. Adoption of this new guidance required additional disclosures and presentation of items impacting other comprehensive income but did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 Marketable Securities

The Company’s marketable securities are all classified as available-for-sale. FASB has established three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 Observable inputs, other than Level 1 inputs in active markets, that are observable either directly

or indirectly; and

Level 3 Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity

to develop its own assumptions.

The Company’s marketable securities valued using Level 1 inputs include highly liquid equity securities, for which quoted market prices are available. The Company’s bond portfolio is valued using Level 2 inputs. The Company’s bonds are valued using a combination of pricing for similar securities, recently executed transactions, cash flow models with yield curves and other pricing models utilizing observable inputs, which are considered Level 2 inputs.

For Level 2 investment valuation, the Company utilizes standard pricing procedures of its investment brokerage firm(s) which include various third party pricing services. These procedures also require specific price monitoring practices as well as pricing review reports, valuation oversight and pricing challenge procedures to maintain the most accurate representation of investment fair market value. In addition, the Company engaged an independent firm to value a sample of the Company’s municipal bond holdings in order to validate the investment’s assigned fair value.

Marketable securities, as of December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, consisted of:

|  |  | Gross | Gross |  |
(dollars in thousands) | Amortized | Unrealized | Unrealized | Fair
December 28, 2013 | Cost | Holding Gains | Holding Losses | Value

Maturities of marketable securities classified as available-for-sale at December 28, 2013, were as follows:

|  | Amortized |  | Fair
(dollars in thousands) |  | Cost |  | Value
Available-for-sale: |  |  |  |
Due within one year | $ | 2,304 | $ | 2,221

Note 3 Inventories

Merchandise inventories, as of December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, were valued as follows:

(dollars in thousands) |  | 2013 |  | 2012
LIFO | $ | 187,178 | $ | 187,847
Average cost |  | 53,274 |  | 57,396
| $ | 240,452 | $ | 245,243

Management believes the use of the LIFO method for valuing certain inventories represents the most appropriate matching of costs and revenues in the Company’s circumstances. If all inventories were valued on the average cost method, which approximates current cost, total inventories would have been $79,022,000 and $78,330,000 higher than as reported on the above methods as of December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively. During 2013, the Company had certain decrements in its LIFO pools, which had an insignificant impact on the cost of sales.

Note 4 Property and Equipment

Property and equipment, as of December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, consisted of:

| Useful Life |  |  |  |
(dollars in thousands) | (in years) |  | 2013 |  | 2012
Land |  | $ | 97,906 | $ | 97,810
Buildings and improvements | 10-60 |  | 527,789 |  | 508,253
Equipment | 3-12 |  | 874,008 |  | 817,822
Leasehold improvements | 5-20 |  | 184,995 |  | 168,879

Less accumulated depreciation and amortization |  |  | 979,713 |  | 954,130
|  | $ | 704,985 | $ | 638,634

Note 5 Lease Commitments

At December 28, 2013, the Company leased approximately 50% of its open store facilities under operating leases that expire at various dates through 2029. These leases generally provide for fixed annual rentals; however, several provide for minimum annual rentals plus contingent rentals as a percentage of annual sales and a number of leases require the Company to pay for all or a portion of insurance, real estate taxes, water and sewer rentals, and repairs, the cost of which is charged to the related expense category rather than being accounted for as rent expense. Most of the leases contain multiple renewal options, under which the Company may extend the lease terms from 5 to 20 years. Rents on operating leases, including agreements with step rents, are charged to expense on a straight-line basis over the minimum lease term.

Rent expense and income on all leases consisted of:

(dollars in thousands) |  | 2013 |  | 2012 |  | 2011
Minimum annual rentals | $ | 32,817 | $ | 30,141 | $ | 30,970
Contingent rentals |  | 386 |  | 134 |  | 512

The future minimum rental payments required under operating leases and estimated sublease income for these locations are included in the above schedule.

Note 6 Retirement Plans

The Company has a contributory retirement savings plan, the Weis Markets, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan, covering substantially all full-time associates. The Company had a noncontributory profit-sharing plan, the Weis Markets, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan, covering eligible associates which included certain salaried associates, store management and administrative support personnel. Effective December 1, 2009, the Weis Markets, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan was merged into the Weis Markets, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan. The Company also has three supplemental retirement plans covering highly compensated employees of the Company. The Company’s policy is to fund all qualified retirement plan costs as accrued, but not supplemental retirement costs. Employer contributions to the qualified retirement plans are made at the sole discretion of the Company.

Retirement plan costs:

(dollars in thousands) |  | 2013 |  | 2012 |  | 2011
Retirement savings plan | $ | 1,715 | $ | 1,560 | $ | 1,242

Pharmacist deferred compensation plan |  | 178 |  | 198 |  | (17)
| $ | 5,794 | $ | 4,804 | $ | 2,960

The Company maintains a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for the payment of specific amounts of annual retirement benefits to certain officers or their beneficiaries over an actuarially computed normal life expectancy. The benefits are determined through actuarial calculations dependent on the age of the recipient, using an assumed discount rate. The Company deems the discount rate to be consistent over time with the rate of return on equity for the Company due to funding the total liability with company assets. The plan is unfunded and accounted for on an accrual basis. The projected benefit obligations are equal to the liability for pension benefits included in “Accrued expenses” and “Postretirement benefit obligations” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company also maintains a non-qualified supplemental executive retirement plan and a non-qualified pharmacist deferred compensation plan for certain of its associates. These plans are designed to provide retirement benefits and salary deferral opportunities because of limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code and the Regulations implemented by the Internal Revenue Service. These plans are unfunded and accounted for on an accrual basis. Participants in these plans are excluded from participation in the profit sharing portion of the Weis Markets, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan once their yearly earnings exceed the IRS highly compensated threshold. The Board of Directors annually determines the amount of the allocation to the plans at its sole discretion. The allocation among the various plan participants is made in both flat dollar amounts and in relationship to their compensation. Plan participants are 100% vested in their accounts after six years of service with the Company. Benefits are distributed among participants upon reaching the applicable retirement age. Substantial risk of benefit forfeiture does exist for participants in these plans. The present value of accumulated benefits amounted to $9,352,000 and $7,531,000 at December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively, and is included in “Postretirement benefit obligations” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company has no other postretirement benefit plans.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Weis Markets, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Weis Markets, Inc. (a Pennsylvania corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012 and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the periods ended December 28, 2013, December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011 (52 weeks, 52 weeks, and 53 weeks, respectively). Our audits of the basic consolidated financial statements included the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(c)(3). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 28, 2013, based on criteria established in the 1992 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Weis Markets, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the periods ended December 28, 2013, December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011 (52 weeks, 52 weeks, and 53 weeks, respectively) in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 28, 2013, based on criteria established in the 1992 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company (its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively) have concluded, based on their evaluation as of the close of the period covered by this Report, that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports filed or submitted by it under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. In making its assessment of internal control over financial reporting, management used the criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (1992). All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

With the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 28, 2013.

The effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of the fiscal year end, has been audited by Grant Thornton LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report, which can be found in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
