NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(A) Financial information reflects all adjustments which, in the opinion of
management, are necessary to reflect the results of operations and
financial position for the quarters shown. These condensed financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the fiscal 1993 Form 10-K
Annual Report of the Company.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Winn-Dixie
Stores, Inc. and its subsidiaries which operate as a major food retailer
in the southeastern and southwestern United States and Bahamas Islands.
Effective July 1, 1993, the Company consolidated its Bahamas statements of
earnings in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The
retroactive consolidation of the Bahamas operating results would have had
an insignificant impact on the prior statements of earnings. Accordingly,
the 1993 statement of earnings has not been restated.
(B) Merchandise inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market,
approximately 94% of which are valued under the LIFO method.
(C) Results for the quarter reflect a pretax LIFO inventory charge of $3.6
million in 1994 and $3.7 million in 1993. The cumulative current year
charge is $6.3 million as compared with $6.4 million in 1993. If the FIFO
method had been used, current quarter net earnings would have been $66.0
million or $0.88 per share as compared with net earnings of $65.4 million
or $0.85 per share in the previous year. The cumulative year net earnings
would have been $103.7 million, or $1.38 per share as compared with $100.5
million, or $1.31 per share.
(D) The Company has an authorized $200 million Commercial Paper Program and
short-term lines of credit totaling $250 million. As of January 12, 1994,
$140 million of commercial paper was outstanding.
(E) The provision for income taxes reflects management's best estimate of the
effective tax rate expected for the fiscal year. The increase in the
federal corporate income tax rate from 34% to 35%, effective January 1,
1993, resulted in additional income tax expense in the current quarter and
year to date.
Litigation: There are pending against the Company various claims and
lawsuits arising in the normal course of business, including suits
charging violations of certain civil rights laws.
Under the provisions of U.S. Environmental Protection laws, the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has notified the Company that it is
one of the many Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs) for cleanup of two
designated "Superfund" sites located in Tampa, Florida, and three such
sites in Jacksonville (2 related sites), and one site each in Madison and
Baldwin, Florida. It has also notified the Company that it is a PRP for
cleanup of one "non-Superfund" site in Tarrant County, Texas. Although
cleanup costs are believed to be substantial, accurate estimates will not
be available until studies have been completed at the sites.
Page 4
<PAGE>
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED), CONTINUED:
The Company has entered into orders by consent with numerous other PRPs to
conduct studies and do certain cleanup for three of the "Superfund"
locations and is negotiating an agreement with other PRPs who are under an
order at other "Superfund" sites to determine the most cost-effective way
to clean up such sites. Although under federal statutes the Company is
jointly and severally liable for cleanup costs at each location, the
Company's share of total costs is estimated not to exceed $350,000 for
three of the "Superfund" sites and the Texas site. No estimate of cleanup
costs for the Madison, Florida, site is possible at this time, and the
Company believes it is not a responsible party for cleanup of the
Madison, Florida site nor for the site at Tarrant County, Texas.
At one "Superfund" site in Tampa, Florida, the Company is one of 14
parties named as respondents in a Unilateral Administrative Order for
Remedial Design and Remedial Action under 47 U.S.C. Section 9606(a)
relating to a disposal site formerly operated by Hillsborough County,
Florida. The parties are ordered to operate, maintain and monitor a water
cleaning system and perform Remedial Design for the site. The costs to
the Company are estimated at $150,000 in fiscal year 1994, with
additional annual costs for an indefinite period thereafter.
The Company is also participating in the cost of cleanup of a fuel tank
leak at a New Mexico site formerly owned by it. The cleanup costs are to
be prorated with others on the basis of the total time of ownership of the
participants. The Company pro-ration is 15%. Total costs are estimated at
less than $150,000, with minimal annual monitoring costs thereafter.
The Company believes its ultimate liability as to these environmental
matters will not necessitate significant capital outlays, will not
materially affect the earning power of the Company, nor cause material
changes in the Company's business.
Although the amount of liability with respect to all other claims and
lawsuits cannot be ascertained, management is of the opinion that any
resulting liability will not have a material effect on the Company's
consolidated earnings or financial position.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This analysis should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements.
Results of Operations
Sales for the current quarter were $3.4 billion, a $136.3 million increase,
or 4.2% over the comparable quarter ended January 6, 1993. Year-to-date,
sales were $5.8 billion, a $208.6 million, or 3.7%, increase over the
comparable period last year. Sales increases resulted primarily from an
increase in average store sales and identical store sales. The increase in
identical store sales was 1.9% for the quarter and 1.8% year to date.
Average store sales increased 4.8% for the quarter and 4.7% year to date.
The Company opened 27 new stores, averaging 41,600 square feet, acquired 4
stores, averaging 44,000 square feet, enlarged or remodeled 39 stores, and
closed 24 older stores, averaging 25,900 square feet. As of January 12,
1994, retail space totaled 40.2 million square feet. Currently, 46 new
stores are under construction. The Company plans to open 70 new stores in
the current fiscal year. The Company has 1,172 stores in operation compared
with 1,191 stores last year. Of the 1,172 stores, 581 are larger than
35,000 square feet. Stores not performing up to expectations were closed,
which resulted in a reduction in the total number of stores.
Gross profit increased $ 40.4 million for the quarter and $65.0 million,
year-to-date. As a percent to sales, gross profit for the current quarter
was 22.7%, compared to 22.4% in the previous year. Year-to-date, gross
profit as a percent to sales was 22.6% in the current year, compared to
22.3% in the previous year. The increase in gross profit is a result of our
computerized buying, our forward buy purchasing program and a lower LIFO
inventory charge.
Operating and administrative expenses increased $25.4 million for the
current quarter and $38.4 million year-to-date. As a percent to sales,
operating and administrative expenses for the current quarter were 20.5%,
compared to 20.6% last year. Year-to-date, operating and administrative
expenses, as a percent to sales were 20.7% for the current year and 20.8%
for the previous year. We have been able to control the increase in
operating and administrative expenses through effective cost reduction
programs (increased productivity through improved work planning at the
retail level and the reduction of the number of store deliveries).
Page 6
<PAGE>
Results of Operations, continued
Cash discounts and other income decreased $9.1 million for the current
quarter and $14.0 million year-to-date. Cash discounts increased primarily
due to greater volume of merchandise purchased. Investment income for the
current quarter totaled $1.4 million compared to $7.8 million last year.
Year-to-date, investment income totaled $2.3 million for the current year,
compared to $11.0 million in the previous year. The decrease in investment
income is due primarily to lower interest rates in the current year and no
sales of marketable securities in the current year. In the previous year
there were $4.4 million in gains on the sale of marketable securities.
Interest expense totaled $5.1 million for the current quarter compared to
$5.2 million for the comparable period last year. Year-to-date, interest
expense totaled $9.1 million in both the current and previous fiscal
years.
Earnings before income taxes were $102.9 million for the current quarter
compared to $97.0 million in the previous year. Year-to-date, earnings
before income taxes were $160.9 million in the current year and $148.3
million in the previous year. The increase in pretax earnings is primarily
a result of the increase in gross profit as previously mentioned. Income
taxes have been accrued at an effective rate of 38% for the current year
and 35% for the previous year. This rate is expected to approximate the
effective rate for the full 1994 fiscal year.
The retroactive increase in the Federal corporate income tax rate from 34%
to 35%, effective January 1, 1993, resulted in additional income tax
expense in the current year. This increase in income tax expense was
offset by an increase in prepaid income taxes resulting from the Federal
income tax rate increase as required by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No.109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."
Net earnings amounted to $63.8 million, or $0.85 per share for the current
quarter compared to $63.0 million, or $0.82 per share for the comparable
period last year. Year-to-date, net earnings amounted to $99.7 million,
or $1.33 per share compared to $96.4 million, or $1.26 per share for the
previous year. The LIFO charge reduced net earnings by $2.3 million, or
$0.03 per share for the current quarter compared to $2.4 million, or
$0.03 per share in the previous year. Year-to-date, the LIFO charge reduced
net earnings $3.9 million, $0.05 per share as compared to $4.1 million or
$0.05 per share in the previous year.

Results of Operations, continued:
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's financial condition remains very sound and very strong.
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments amounted to $134.5
million at January 12, 1994. Net cash provided by operating activities
amounted to $195.5 million for the 28 weeks ended January 12, 1994,
compared to $37.3 million for the comparable period last year. Capital
expenditures totaled $140.6 million compared to $115.1 million for the
comparable period last year. These expenditures were for new store
locations, remodeling and enlargement of store locations and maintenance
and expansion of support facilities. Total capital investment in Company
retail and support facilities, including operating leases, is estimated to
be $650 million in 1994. The Company has no material construction or
purchase commitments outstanding as of January 12, 1994.
Working capital amounted to $508.7 million at January 12, 1994 compared to
$544.7 million at June 30, 1993.
The Company has an authorized $200 million Commercial Paper Program. In
addition, the Company has $250 million of short-term lines of credit.
These lines of credit are available when needed during the year and are
renewable on an annual basis. The Company is not required to maintain
compensating bank balances in connection with these lines of credit. As of
January 12, 1994, $140 million of commercial paper was outstanding.
Excluding capital leases, the Company had no outstanding long-term debt as
of either January 12, 1994 or June 30, 1993.
The Company's available credit facilities and cash flow from operations are
considered adequate to fund the short-term and long-term capital needs of
the Company.
The Company has been notified as one of the many Potentially Responsible
Parties (PRPs) by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with respect to
the clean up of hazardous waste at seven "Superfund" sites and one
additional site. The Company is in the process of determining the
potential liability and the most cost effective way to clean up such sites.
The Company does not believe that the ultimate liability will materially
affect the earning power of the Company.
Impact of Inflation
The Company's primary costs, which are inventory and labor, increase with
inflation. Recovery of these increases has to come from improved operating
efficiencies and, to the extent permitted by our competition, through
improved gross profit margins.
