Exhibit (c)(3)

Important Information

The following pages contain material that was provided to the Special Committee of the Board of Directors (“ Special

Family Group”), directly or through Saker Holdings Corp. or another entity or entities formed for the purpose (“Saker
Holdings”), will acquire all or substantially all of the outstanding  common stock of the Company owned by shareholders
other than members of the Saker Family Group (the “Public Shareholders”) (“Possible Transaction”).  The accompanying
material was compiled or prepared on a confidential basis for use by the Special Committee and not with a view toward

Blair’s Observations

Executive Summary

Operational Observations

PICTURE competes directly with a number of national and regional supermarket chains, including
A&P, Pathmark, Wegmans, Acme, Stop & Shop and Foodtown, as well as warehouse club stores and
discount general merchandise stores

There are 18 Pathmark stores within three miles of a PICTURE store

While there are currently many competing Wal-Mart stores in PICTURE’s market, there are
currently no Wal-Mart SuperCenters

The Company’s stores have average annual per store sales volume of approximately $46.2 million as
of October 30, 2005

During fiscal 2005, the Company’s same store sales declined 1.2%

Below average EBITDAR margins of 4.0% versus comparable companies’ median EBITDAR
margin of 4.5%

Three of PICTURE’s 27 stores, or 11%, have negative 4-Wall EBITDA

In fiscal 2004, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $1.2 million to reduce the
carrying value of leasehold improvements relating to one store.  During fiscal 2005, the Company
recorded a non-cash impairment of $163 thousand

Blair’s Observations

Executive Summary

Financial and Trading Observations

Blair’s prior DCF and LBO valuation analyses were based on management’s projections as of April
2005 (updated based on management’s input)

More recently, management has compiled a set of Revised projections that reflect lower capital
expenditures and slower growth due to leverage limitations per management’s discussions with
GMAC

The Revised projections generate higher DCF and LBO valuations, excluding any potential
impact of reduced store quality, related higher threat of competition associated with reduced
store level expenditures and reduced growth

The preliminary valuation data herein presents the DCF and LBO analyses based on the Revised
projections

We will continue to work with management to assess which are the appropriate projections for
PICTURE

We can only base our fairness opinion on projections provided by management

DRAFT

Blair’s Observations

Executive Summary

Financial and Trading Observations (continued)

The Company’s Revised projections estimate compound annual sales growth of 2.8% from 2005-
2010

Average EBITDA margins during this time are projected to be 0.9%

The Company spends approximately $692,000 annually associated with remaining a public company

PICTURE maintains two under-funded defined benefit pension plans covering administrative
personnel and members of a union.  The minimum pension liability for these plans is recorded in
“other long-term liabilities” and the related unrealized loss, net of income tax benefit, is included in
accumulated other comprehensive income and represented $2.8 million at October 30, 2005

As of October 30, 2005, the Company was contingently liable under leases assumed by third parties
for $1.8 million

PICTURE participates in a multi-employer plan, but has no intention of withdrawing [need to
diligence amount]

Low stock liquidity and trading volume

PICTURE’s average trading volume over the last 90 days was 568 shares, or $24,500, compared
to the median of the comparable companies of 35,072 shares, or $568,500.

Wakefern Relationship Overview

DRAFT

PICTURE’s membership in the Wakefern cooperative enables it to benefit from group purchasing pricing that it
would not enjoy independently

Receives annual dividend ($15.4 million in 2005) as a distribution of Wakefern profits

The Company’s relationship with Wakefern also places constraints on its operations and financial flexibility

Wakefern has the right of first refusal in a change of control or similar transaction

PICTURE must pay Wakefern a fee for all new stores (maximum $650,000 per store)

If any co-op member decides to withdraw from the cooperative, it must reimburse Wakefern for 10 years of
profits  (estimated at $330 million for PICTURE)

In Re: Big V Holding Corp. reinforces the validity of this provision

All cooperative members must invest in and own interests in Wakefern

This is not a liquid investment and can only be sold to Wakefern for approximately the same amount
for which the purchaser bought the stock

Any purchaser of PICTURE planning to withdraw from Wakefern (or not allowed by Wakefern to join the coop)
would owe Wakefern approximately $335 million (see next page for calculation details)

Adjusting any potential purchase price for this potential withdrawal liability would increase the purchase
multiple paid by approximately 7.6x based on fiscal 2005 EBITDA of $43.8 million

The Wakefern agreement requires personal guarantees of the potential withdrawal liability and other obligations

Executive Summary

5

Calculation of Potential Withdrawal Liability

DRAFT

If PICTURE withdraws from Wakefern, it is liable to Wakefern for 10 years of lost profits on its
minimum purchase participation

PICTURE is obligated to purchase 85% of its goods from Wakefern

85% of fiscal 2005 COGS is approximately $764 million

In fiscal 2005, PICTURE purchased $801 million in goods from Wakefern

PICTURE management estimates that Wakefern’s profits on these purchases are
approximately 6.2%

Discounting a range of potential minimum purchase participation levels at assumed profits of
5.9% to 6.5% over 10 years at the current prime rate of 7.25% (discount factor from Wakefern
agreement) provides a range of potential withdrawal liabilities of $311 million to $366 million

Saker letter estimated this liability at approximately $271 million

Blair’s Observations

Executive Summary

Limited Potential Buyer Universe

Absent some material factors affecting the practical and financial aspects of an outright sale of
PICTURE (discussed herein), we believe there would be several interested and capable buyers for
PICTURE

However, the Wakefern agreement practically limits potential buyers:

Significant withdrawal liability

Approval rights to join co-op and regarding changes of control

Requires personal guarantees

Only a Wakefern cooperative member would avoid, in theory, these structural limits imposed by the
Wakefern agreement

Only one co-op member seems to have the potential financial ability to purchase PICTURE

Village Super Markets, Inc. has almost $1 billion in revenue, operates 23 stores and has an
equity market capitalization of $184.5 million and enterprise value of $219.8 million

Village has not expressed an interest in PICTURE

If a third party purchaser bought PICTURE and planned to withdraw from Wakefern, it would have
to pay Wakefern approximately $330 million, or an incremental purchase price of 7.6x EBITDA

[Sakers have stated that they will not sell to a third party. Low likelihood of third party buying
minority stake]

Valuation Analysis

Summary of Valuation Analyses

Comparable Public Company Analysis

Trading multiple analysis based on 9 companies that Blair considered comparable to PICTURE based on the selected
companies’ operations and market capitalizations.

Comparable M&A Transactions Analysis

Evaluation of potential transactions that Blair might consider comparable to the proposed transaction based on the targets’
operations and the transaction values.

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

Utilized PICTURE’s fiscal year 2006-2010 projections to derive free cash flows for PICTURE and discounted those cash
flows, along with a terminal value based on a multiple of 2010 EBITDA. Discounted all cash flows at discount rates ranging
from 10% - 14%, back to the current period.

Leveraged Transaction Analysis

Utilized PICTURE’s fiscal year 2006-2010 projections. Assumed ability to finance an acquisition of PICTURE utilizing
term debt, rolled existing debt and equity.  Assumed PICTURE would be purchased at the end of 2010 by an independent
third party.  Values were derived based upon a range of expected equity returns by a financial investor.

M&A Premiums Paid Analysis

Premium analyses based on 210 domestic public transactions announced since January 1, 2003 with implied equity values
between $25 million and $100 million. Also analyzed subgroups of that set (1) in which less than 50% of the target was
acquired; (2) in which the target company was taken private; and (3) in which an existing shareholder acquired the
remaining minority interest.

Comparable M&A Transactions

Comparable Transaction Analysis

We do not believe that any recent M&A transaction in the food retailing industry is truly comparable to PICTURE
due to the following factors:

Different margins

Different growth rates

Different competitive forces

Lack of relevant disclosed valuation metrics

For instance, Shaw’s turnover of approximately $5 billion and EBITDA margin of approximately 8% are
significantly higher than the Company’s  

Yucaipa’s acquisition of Pathmark showed a transaction value of $150MM for a 40% equity stake. Implied
transaction multiples were 0.23x LTM Revenue and 5.6x LTM EBITDA

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

DRAFT

Methodology and Assumptions

In order to provide an additional estimate of the enterprise value of PICTURE, Blair performed a
discounted cash flow analysis of PICTURE’s projected results

The concept of a discounted cash flow analysis is to calculate the present value of a company
based upon its future earnings stream and corresponding cash flows

To account for the value of PICTURE beyond 2010 (“terminal value”), Blair assumed the
Company would be purchased by an independent party for a multiple of EBITDA

Blair calculated the weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) for PICTURE by analyzing the
cost of capital for a group of public companies in the industry as well as evaluating the Company-
specific risk of PICTURE (see Appendix B)

Discounted Cash Flow Considerations:

Methodology is most appropriate for companies that exhibit relatively steady or somewhat
predictable streams of future cash flow

For a company with limited intermediate and long-term cash flow visibility the preponderance
of the value can be in the terminal value, which is extremely sensitive to assumptions about
the sustainable long-term growth of the company

Leveraged Transaction Analysis

DRAFT

Leveraged Transaction Analysis - Methodology and Assumptions

In order to provide an additional estimate of the enterprise value of the Company, Blair
performed a leveraged transaction, or buyout, analysis of
the Company.

In a leveraged acquisition, an entity finances the purchase of a company using a significant
portion of debt with the remainder of the purchase price being financed through equity
capital.

By using the projected results for the Company and determining the likely constraints that
would be placed on an entity attempting to complete a leveraged acquisition, it is possible to
estimate a range of value for the Company.

Key forecast assumptions are the same as those used in the DCF model except that public
company costs of $692,000 per year are eliminated.
