This Form 10-Q/A amends the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 25, 2004, as filed on November 15, 2004, to include adjustments to its previously filed consolidated financial statements related to (i) lease accounting under the provisions of FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-3 (FTB 85-3), (ii) certain inventory resale activity under the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force release 99-19 (EITF 99-19) and (iii) the classification of outstanding borrowings under the revolving loan facility as current liabilities, rather than as long-term debt as previously reported, because cash receipts controlled by the lenders are used to reduce outstanding debt, and the Company does not meet the criteria of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 6 “Classification of Short Term Obligations Expected to be Refinanced” (FAS 6), to reclassify the debt as long-term, as well as to reflect certain previously unrecorded and immaterial audit adjustments related to the periods affected. This Form 10-Q/A further amends the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 25, 2004 to include adjustments to its previously filed consolidated statement of cash flows for the first nine months of 2004 and 2003 to reflect the reporting of revolving loan borrowings and repayments separately on a gross basis as required under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 95 “Statement of Cash Flows” (FAS 95). In addition, this Form 10-Q/A amends the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period from July 31, 2004 through and as of September 25, 2004 to correct the lease accounting to reflect straight-line rent expense (for leases in effect on the July 30, 2004 acquisition date) calculated from the date of the Company’s acquisition by Oak Hill rather than from the original lease commencement dates as previously recorded. This accounting treatment is required under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 141 “Business Combinations (FAS 141). This adjusted lease accounting has no impact upon lease maturities, the timing of any lease payments or cash flows from past or future operating activities. It also amends the previously filed Form 10-Q to include in Part 1, Item 4, “Controls and Procedures,” the revised conclusion of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 25, 2004. No attempt has been made in this Form 10-Q/A to modify or update other disclosures as presented in the Form 10-Q except to conform to changes as required by applicable law. For further information about the restatements, see “Item 2.—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Restatements.”

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This and other of our public filings or public statements contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance with respect to our financial condition, results of operations, business plans and strategies, operating efficiencies or synergies, competitive positions, growth opportunities for existing products such as private label merchandise, plans and objectives of management, capital expenditures, growth and maturation of our stores and other matters. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “pro forma,” “seek,” or “continue” or the negative of those terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and such expectations may prove to be incorrect. Some of the things that could cause our actual results to differ substantially from our expectations are:

·       the competitive environment in the drugstore industry in general and in the New York greater metropolitan area;

·       the ability to open and operate new stores on a profitable basis and to increase sales in existing stores;

·       the continued efforts of health maintenance organizations, managed care organizations, pharmacy benefit management companies and other third party payers to reduce prescription reimbursement rates;

·       the continued efforts of federal, state and municipal government agencies to reduce Medicaid reimbursement rates, modify Medicare benefits and/or reduce prescription drug costs;

·       our significant indebtedness;

·       the strength of the economy in general and the economic conditions in the New York greater metropolitan area, in particular, including changes in consumer purchasing power and/or spending patterns;

·       changes in the cost of goods and services;

·       trends in the healthcare industry, including continued conversion of various prescription drugs to over-the-counter medications and the increasing market share on the part of internet-based and mail-order-based providers;

·       labor disturbances, including any resulting from the suspension or termination of our collective bargaining agreements;

·       changes in federal and state laws and regulations, including the potential impact of changes in regulations surrounding the importation of pharmaceuticals from foreign countries and changes in minimum wage rates;

·       liability and other claims asserted against us including the items discussed under Part II, Item 1-Legal Proceedings;

·       changes in our operating strategy or development plans;

2




·       our ability to attract, hire and retain qualified personnel, including our ability to attract qualified pharmacists;

·       interest rate fluctuations and changes in capital market conditions or other events affecting our ability to obtain necessary financing on favorable terms to fund the anticipated growth of our business;

·       the outcome of the legal proceedings that have been instituted against us and others following announcement of our merger agreement with Duane Reade Acquisition Corp. and Duane Reade Shareholders, LLC;

·       the continued impact of, or new occurrences of, terrorist attacks in the New York greater metropolitan area and any actions that may be taken by federal, state or municipal authorities in response to or in anticipation of such occurrences;

·       changes in our acquisition and capital expenditure plans;

·       our ability to continue to secure suitable new store locations under acceptable lease terms;

·       our ability to successfully implement and manage new computer systems and technologies;

·       our ability to limit fraud and shrink;

·       demographic changes; and

·       other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date of this filing. We do not, nor does any other person, assume responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of those statements.

We caution you that the areas of risk described above may not be exhaustive. We operate in a continually changing business environment, and new risks emerge from time to time. Management cannot predict such new risks, nor can it assess the impact, if any, of such risks on our businesses or the extent to which any risk or combination of risks may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, you should keep in mind that any forward-looking statement made in this filing might not occur.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

1.   Basis of Presentation

On July 30, 2004, Duane Reade Inc. was acquired through a merger transaction with Duane Reade Acquisition Corp. (“Duane Reade Acquisition”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Duane Reade Holdings, Inc. and an affiliate of Oak Hill Capital Partners, L.P. (“Oak Hill”), a private equity firm (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition was accomplished through the merger of Duane Reade Acquisition into Duane Reade Inc., with Duane Reade Inc. being the surviving entity.

The accompanying financial statements designated as the “Successor” are the financial statements of Duane Reade Inc. and subsidiaries for periods subsequent to July 30, 2004. Although Duane Reade Inc. was the legal entity that remained after the Acquisition, all financial statements for periods prior to and including July 30, 2004, the date of the Acquisition, are referred to as the financial statements of the “Predecessor.” The “Company” refers to the operations of Duane Reade Inc. and subsidiaries for both the Predecessor and Successor periods.

The Acquisition was accounted for in accordance with the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the purchase price of the Acquisition has been allocated to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. This allocation is preliminary and includes a number of estimates which, upon further evaluation, may require modification.

The Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements included herein reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Duane Reade Inc. (the “Company”), and have been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the same accounting principles followed in the preparation of the Predecessor’s Annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 27, 2003. These Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Predecessor’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended to date, for the year ended December 27, 2003. The Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.

The Company has no assets or operations other than its investment in its subsidiaries, each of which, other than Duane Reade, a New York general partnership which is the Companys’ principal operating company and of which the Company is a general partner (“Duane Reade GP”), is a guarantor of the Company’s various debt instruments. Duane Reade GP is a co-obligor under each of the Company’s debt facilities. Accordingly, the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements present the consolidated assets and operations of the subsidiary guarantors. The guarantees of the subsidiary guarantors, which relate to the Company’s obligations under its debt and credit agreements, are full and unconditional, joint and several.

2.   Restatements

The Company has restated its consolidated financial statements to conform certain accounting practices to the following accounting requirements:

1.     Lease accounting under FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-3 (FTB 85-3)

2.     Acquisition lease accounting under FASB No. 141 “Business Combinations”

7




3.     Gross versus net sales and cost of sales accounting under Emerging Issues Task Force Release 99-19 (EITF 99-19)

4.     Balance sheet classification of outstanding borrowings under the revolving loan facility because cash receipts controlled by the lenders are used to reduce outstanding debt, and the Company does not meet the criteria under FASB No. 6 “Classification of Short-Term Obligations Expected to be Refinanced” (FAS 6) to reclassify the debt as long-term

5.     Reporting of revolving loan facility borrowings and repayments under FASB No. 95 “Statement of Cash Flows” (FAS 95)

6.     Restatements to include certain previously unrecorded and immaterial audit adjustments related to the periods affected.

In connection with these restatements, the Company obtained from the administrative agent under the amended asset-based revolving loan facility, an acknowledgement confirming that these restatements do not constitute an event of technical default, as defined in the document governing the amended asset-based revolving loan facility.

Based upon a review of the Company’s lease accounting methods the Company determined that its previous policy of commencing rent expense when a store opens (and not at the commencement of the lease) was inconsistent with FTB 85-3. For construction purposes, the Company often takes possession of leased properties prior to opening. In accordance with FTB 85-3, the Company will record rent expense commencing on the date of possession. In accordance with the provisions of FAS 141, the Company has restated reported balance sheet liabilities, goodwill and results of operations, cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses to correct the lease accounting to reflect straight-line rent expense (for leases in effect on the July 30, 2004 acquisition date) calculated from the date of the Company’s acquisition by Oak Hill rather than from the original lease commencement dates as previously recorded. This adjusted lease accounting has no impact upon lease maturities, the timing of any lease payments or cash flows from past or future operating activities. The Company is restating its previously issued financial statements to reflect certain resales of retail inventory on a gross revenue and cost of sales basis in accordance with EITF 99-19, rather than on a net basis as previously reported. The Company is restating its previously reported balance sheets for September 25, 2004 and December 27, 2003 to reflect the classification of outstanding borrowings under the revolving loan facility as current liabilities rather than as long-term debt, as previously reported. The change is being made because cash receipts controlled by the lenders are used to reduce outstanding debt, and the Company does not meet the criteria of FAS 6 to reclassify the debt as long-term. This is not an indication that this credit facility is expected to be retired within the next year. This facility expires in July 2008 and the Company intends to continue to access it for its working capital needs throughout the remaining term. The Company has also restated its consolidated statements of cash flows for the successor period from July 31, 2004 through September 25, 2004 and the predecessor periods from December 28, 2003 through July 30, 2004 and the first nine months of fiscal 2003 to reflect the reporting of revolving loan facility borrowings and repayments separately on a gross basis as required under FAS 95. The effect of these restatements on the consolidated financial statements for the successor period from July 31, 2004 through September 25, 2004 and the predecessor periods from June 27, 2004 through July 30, 2004, from December 28, 2003 through July 30, 2004 and the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2003 is shown below. The Company has identified the source of the restatements from lease accounting (FTB 85-3), acquisition lease accounting (FAS 141), gross sales and cost of sales (EITF 99-19), classification of outstanding borrowings under the revolving loan facility (FAS 6), reporting of revolving borrowings and payments (FAS 95) and other previously unrecorded and immaterial adjustments (Other).

3.   Acquisition by Oak Hill Capital Partners, L.P.

At the special meeting of the Company’s stockholders held on July 26, 2004, a total of 15,436,702 shares, representing 62.9% of the total outstanding shares of common stock as of the June 3, 2004 record date, were voted in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement. The Acquisition was unanimously approved by the independent members of Duane Reade Inc.’s board of directors, who resigned from the board on July 30, 2004 in anticipation of the completion of the Acquisition. Under the terms of the merger agreement, the Company’s stockholders received $16.50 per share in cash, without interest. The aggregate value of the merger transaction was approximately $744 million, including transaction expenses and the repayment of indebtedness. The equity financing necessary for the merger was provided by Oak Hill and an affiliate equity fund, Oak Hill Capital Management Partners, L.P. as well as several co-investors selected by Oak Hill to participate in the transaction. The debt financing necessary for the merger was provided by a syndicate of banking institutions led by Banc of America Securities LLC. Mr. Anthony J. Cuti, the Company’s Chairman, President and CEO, the Company’s Senior Vice Presidents and certain other members of management have equity interests in the acquiring entity and have continued in the same management positions after the Acquisition. The new board of directors is comprised of certain executives of Oak Hill and Mr. Cuti. As a result of the stockholders’ approval of the merger agreement and the satisfaction of all other conditions to the merger, the merger and related financings were consummated on July 30, 2004.

The following pro-forma financial information presents the results of operations for the quarters and nine month periods ended September 25, 2004 and September 27, 2003 as if the Acquisition has occurred at the beginning of each fiscal year. Certain one-time expenses associated with the transaction are included in each of the periods shown, since each assumes the transaction occurred at the beginning of that year.  This information does not purport to be indicative of the actual results that would have been achieved if the acquistion had occurred as assumed, or of future results.

4.   National Labor Relations Board Decision

The Company is a party to a National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”) administrative proceeding regarding a dispute with the Allied Trade Council (“ATC”) over whether a negotiating impasse was reached between the Company and the union in August of 2001. The ATC represents employees in 139 of the Company’s stores pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement that expired on August 31, 2001. The employees have been working pursuant to the terms of the Company’s December 6, 2001 implemented contract with the ATC, which expired on August 31, 2004. The Company believes an impasse did occur and as a result, the Company had the right to implement its latest contract proposal at that time which included wage increases, health and welfare benefits, vacation and sick benefits and a 401(k) retirement program. The Company discontinued making additional payments into the various funds associated with the union as it was providing many of these benefits on a direct basis and because its past contributions to these funds had caused these funds to be in a position of excessive overfunding. In addition, the Company had concerns that its past payments into these funds were not being managed in a way to ensure they were being properly utilized for the benefit of the Company’s employees. On February 18, 2004, an Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) who had reviewed various matters related to this proceeding issued a decision and related recommendation, which concluded that the parties were not at impasse. The remedies recommended by the ALJ included, among other things, a requirement for the Company to make its employees whole by reimbursing them for expenses ensuing from the failure to make contributions to the

12




union funds and to make such funds whole, plus interest. This recommendation was adopted by the full NLRB on September 15, 2004. If it is enforced by the circuit court of appeals, it could result in the Company being required to contribute amounts that have yet to be determined into the union’s pension benefit, health and welfare and vacation funds. Any potential required contributions resulting from a final judicial determination of this matter would potentially be subject to offset by the amounts that the Company had funded since it implemented its final contract proposal for these same benefits that were paid for its ATC employees. Because the NLRB decision represents the first phase of a long and complicated administrative process to be followed by a full judicial review of all of the facts and circumstances, the final outcome cannot be reliably determined at this time. The full NLRB decision is subject to judicial review by the circuit court of appeals and a compliance hearing before any financial remedy can be determined. While there can be no definitive assurance, the Company has been advised by its outside labor counsel that it has numerous meritorious defenses and arguments in response to the NLRB’s decision.

In light of the foregoing, while it is the Company’s belief that the final financial outcome of this litigation cannot be determined at this time, under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“FAS”) No. 5 which addresses contingencies, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $12.6 million for the year ended December 27, 2003 and additional pre-tax charges of $1.1 million in each of the quarters ended March 27, 2004 and June 26, 2004, $0.4 million in the period from June 27, 2004 through July 30, 2004 and $0.7 million during the period from July 31, 2004 through September 25, 2004. These charges represent the current best estimate of the loss that would result upon application of the NLRB’s decision. The Company notes that such charges were based upon the facts available to it at the time. In the Company’s opinion, such charges could be subject to significant modification in the future, upon review by the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals, completion of a compliance hearing and any appeals relating to the outcome of that hearing. These charges reflect the amount of contributions that the Company did not make into the union benefit funds for the period from the August 31, 2001 expiration of the contract through September 25, 2004, reduced by a portion of the benefits the Company paid directly to or for the benefit of these employees over the same period. It also includes an interest cost for these net contributions from the date they would have been paid until September 25, 2004. While this represents the Company’s current best estimate of the NLRB’s decision, the Company believes that the actual range of loss in this matter could be from $0, if the NLRB’s decision is not followed, to approximately $30 million, if the NLRB’s decision is upheld and there is no offset for any benefits paid over this period.

Until such time as further legal developments warrant a change in the application of this accounting standard, or until this matter is resolved, the Company will record additional non-cash pre-tax charges, including interest, which are calculated on the same basis as the charge recorded in the 2003 financial statements.

5.   Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2002, FAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure” was issued. This statement provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. The Company has not adopted such voluntary change to the fair value based method. In addition, this statement amends the disclosure requirements of FAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures about the method of accounting for stock-based compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. As required, the Company adopted the disclosure-only provisions of FAS No. 148 effective in 2002.

13




The Company previously adopted FAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and, as permitted under FAS No. 123, has elected the disclosure-only provisions. The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. There is no stock-based employee compensation cost reflected in net income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net (loss) income if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation (dollars in thousands):

As described in previous SEC filings issued during 2003, the Company cancelled 1,337,449 outstanding stock options during the first quarter of 2003 in connection with the Stock Option Exchange Offer. The pro forma income shown in the table above for the nine months ending September 27, 2003 includes the reversal of pro forma expenses previously disclosed totaling $9.7 million, related to the granting of these original options. On October 1, 2003, the Company issued 1,320,947 options at an exercise price of $16.55 per share to replace those options exchanged in connection with the Stock Option Exchange Offer. As a result, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company has been incurring pro forma compensation expense which reflects the fair value of the replacement stock options granted.

The pro forma compensation (expense) income for stock options has been estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions for each of the periods shown: dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 50%, risk free interest rate of 6.6% and an expected term of 8 years. These pro forma disclosures may not be representative of the effects on reported net income for future periods since options vest over several years and options granted prior to 1995 are not considered.

On July 30, 2004, as a result of the Acquisition, all stock options, whether or not then vested, with an exercise price of $16.50 or more per share were cancelled without any payment therefore, and the remaining “in the money” options (excluding certain management options that were forfeited in connection with the Acquisition), whether or not then vested, with exercise prices of less than $16.50 per share were converted into the right to receive the excess of $16.50 per share over the exercise price of each of the options. As a consequence, subsequent to the July 30, 2004 transaction date, all options issued by the Predecessor to purchase previously existing Duane Reade Inc. common stock ceased to exist.

6.   Inventory and Cost of Sales

At September 25, 2004, inventories, consisting solely of finished goods, would have been greater by $1.2 million if they had been valued on a lower of first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) cost or market basis instead of

14




a last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) basis. Cost of sales includes all store occupancy-related costs and expenses, consisting of lease and sublease-related income and expenses, other recurring real estate-related income and expenses primarily from sales and terminations of leases related to store closings and relocations, sales of market-related data, store utility costs, warehouse expenses and distribution costs. The Company reflects promotional allowances from vendors as a reduction of cost of sales or advertising expense, depending on the nature of the allowance, when such advertising or promotions have been completed and the related allowances have been earned. For the periods from July 31, 2004 through September 25, 2004 and June 27, 2004 through July 30, 2004, other real estate-related income amounted to $0.1 million and $0.0 million, respectively, as compared to $0.2 million in the three months ended September 27, 2003, and for the periods from July 31, 2004 through September 25, 2004 and December 28, 2003 through July 30, 2004, other real estate-related income amounted to $0.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively, as compared to $1.6 million in the nine months ended September 27, 2003. There was no income realized from the sale of market-related data in any of the periods presented.

7.   Acquisitions

During each of the periods attributable to the “Successor” and “Predecessor” financial statements, the Company acquired pharmacy customer files, which were merged into existing stores, and the operations, including certain lease-related assets, of a number of pharmacy establishments, which were operated as new stores. The table below provides details of this acquisition activity for each of the periods presented (dollars in millions).

Revolving Credit Facility

On July 21, 2003, Duane Reade GP entered into a new credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”). This Credit Agreement is an asset-based revolving loan which used a pre-determined percentage of the current value of the Company’s inventory and selected accounts receivable to calculate the availability of funds eligible to be borrowed up to an aggregate principal amount of $200 million. Prior to the amendment described below, the obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement were collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company. In addition, the Credit Agreement was guaranteed by each of the Company’s corporate subsidiaries, and such guarantees were collateralized by substantially all assets of such guarantors. The Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature on July 20, 2008.

The Credit Agreement contains a single fixed charge coverage requirement which only becomes applicable when borrowings exceed 90 percent of the borrowing base, as defined in the Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement have not exceeded 90 percent of the borrowing base and, as a result, the fixed charge covenant did not become applicable during the period. There are no credit ratings related triggers in the Credit Agreement that would impact the cost of borrowing, annual amortization of principal or related indebtedness maturity.

On July 22, 2004, in connection with the Acquisition, the Credit Agreement was amended (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) to increase the Company’s borrowing capacity to an aggregate principal amount of $250 million, subject to an adjusted borrowing base calculation based upon specified advance rates against the value of the Company’s selected inventory, pharmacy prescription files and selected accounts receivable. The Amended Credit Agreement includes a $50 million sub-limit for the issuance of letters of credit. Obligations under the revolving loan facility are collateralized by a first priority security interest in inventory, receivables, pharmacy prescription files, deposit accounts and certain other current assets. Under the amended facility, Duane Reade GP is the borrower. The amended facility is guaranteed by Duane Reade Holdings, the Company and each of its domestic subsidiaries other than Duane Reade GP. Revolving loans under the Amended Credit Agreement, at the Company’s option, bear interest at either (i) a rate equal to LIBOR (the London Interbank Offered Rate) plus a margin of from 1.50% to 2.00%, determined based on levels of borrowing availability reset each fiscal quarter or (ii) a rate equal to the prime rate of Banc of America Retail Group Inc. plus a margin of from 0.00% to 0.50%, determined based on levels of borrowing availability reset each fiscal quarter. Borrowings under the amended facility continue to be primarily LIBOR-based.

16




At September 25, 2004, there was $152.9 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility, and approximately $93.7 million of remaining availability, net of $2.9 million reserved for standby letters of credit. Obligations under this facility have been classified as current liabilities because cash receipts controlled by the lenders are used to reduce outstanding debt, and the Company does not meet the criteria of FAS 6 to reclassify the debt as long-term. The Company intends to continue to utilize this facility for its working capital needs though the date of its maturity in July 2008. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are principally LIBOR-based. The margin on these borrowings is fixed at 1.75% for the first year, and is subject to a sliding scale adjustment thereafter, based on remaining levels of availability.

Senior Term Loan Facility

On July 30, 2004, in connection with the Acquisition, the Company entered into a Senior Term Loan in the principal amount of $155 million. This loan will mature on July 30, 2010. While there are no scheduled principal payments over its term, the Company will be required to prepay the senior term loan together with accrued interest thereon, with (a) all net cash proceeds (i) from sales of property and assets by Duane Reade Holdings and its subsidiaries (excluding sales of inventory in the normal course of business and certain other exceptions described in the Senior Term Loan), (ii) of extraordinary receipts, casualties and condemnations as defined in the Senior Term Loan and (iii) from the issuance or incurrence of additional debt of Duane Reade Holdings or any of its subsidiaries other than certain identified indebtedness permitted under the Senior Term Loan, (b) 50.0% of all net cash proceeds from the issuance of additional equity of Duane Reade Holdings or any of its subsidiaries (excluding equity issued to Oak Hill and other exceptions specified in the Senior Term Loan) and (c) 50.0% of excess cash flow of Duane Reade Holdings and its subsidiaries (beginning with the fiscal year ending December 2005). Loans under the Senior Term Loan facility, at the Company’s option, bear interest at a rate per annum of (i) the reserve-adjusted LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.25%; or (ii) 2.25%, plus the higher of (a) the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A. and (b) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. Duane Reade GP became a co-obligor under the Senior Term Loan upon the closing of the Acquisition. All obligations under the Senior Term Loan are guaranteed by Duane Reade Holdings and each of the Company’s existing subsidiaries, other than Duane Reade GP, and will be guaranteed by future subsidiaries except certain foreign subsidiaries. The Senior Term Loan is collateralized by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets other than those assets in which the lenders under the Amended Credit Agreement have a first priority interest. The Senior Term loan is also collateralized by a second priority security interest in all collateral pledged on a first priority basis to lenders under the Amended Credit Agreement. The Senior Term Loan also contains affirmative and negative covenants customary for a senior term loan facility, including, among other things, restrictions on indebtedness, liens, mergers and consolidations, sales of assets, loans, acquisitions, joint ventures, restricted payments, transactions with affiliates, dividends and other payment restrictions affecting subsidiaries and sale leaseback transactions. The Senior Term Loan also requires Duane Reade Holdings and its subsidiaries to maintain a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. There are no credit ratings related triggers in the Senior Term Loan Facility that would impact the cost of borrowing, annual amortization of principal or related indebtedness maturity.

$195 Million 93¤4% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2011

On July 30, 2004, upon completion of the Acquisition, the Company entered into an Indenture for $195 million of 93¤4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 (the “Senior Subordinated Notes”). The Senior Subordinated Notes mature on August 1, 2011 and bear interest at 9.75% per annum payable in semi-annual installments on February 1 and August 1, commencing February 1, 2005, to the holders of record on the immediately preceding January 15 and July 15. The Senior Subordinated Notes are uncollateralized obligations and subordinated in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness, including borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement (as defined

17




above) and the Senior Term Loan (as defined above). The Senior Subordinated Notes will rank equally with any future senior subordinated indebtedness and senior to any future subordinated indebtedness. The Senior Subordinated Notes are guaranteed on an uncollateralized, senior subordinated basis by all of the Company’s existing direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries other than Duane Reade GP, which is a co-obligor under the Senior Subordinated Notes. The Company may redeem the Senior Subordinated Notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after August 1, 2008, at a redemption price of 104.875% declining to par on August 1, 2010, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, the Company, Duane Reade Shareholders or Duane Reade Holdings, at the Company’s option, can redeem up to 35% of the Senior Subordinated Notes before August 1, 2007 with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings. Upon the occurrence of specified change of control events, the Company and Duane Reade GP will be required to make an offer to repurchase all of the Senior Subordinated Notes at 101% of the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Subordinated Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase. The indenture governing the Senior Subordinated Notes contains certain affirmative and negative covenants that limit the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, make repayments on indebtedness that is subordinated to the Senior Subordinated Notes and to make certain other restricted payments, incur certain liens, use proceeds from sales of assets, enter into business combination transactions (including mergers, consolidations and asset sales), enter into transactions with affiliates and permit restrictions on the payment of dividends by the Company’s subsidiaries. Under a registration rights agreement entered into as part of the offering of the Senior Subordinated Notes, the Company is required to (i) file a registration statement with the SEC within 120 days after the completion of the Acquisition, (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective within 180 days after the comp
