PART I
ITEM 1: BUSINESS
General
Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc., organized in Florida on December 26, 1928, is a major
food retailer with 1,175 stores in fourteen states and the Bahama Islands.
According to published reports of sales at June 28, 1995 the Company was the
fifth largest in United States supermarket sales.
All of the Company's subsidiaries except Bahamas Supermarkets Limited are
wholly-owned. Except where the context indicates otherwise, the term "Company"
includes the parent company and all of its subsidi- aries, collectively.
Financial information on industry segments and lines of business is omitted
because, apart from the principal business of operating retail self-service food
stores, the Company had no other lines of business or industry segments.
Store Formats and Business Strategy
The business of the Company is the operation of a chain of retail self-service
food stores which sell groceries, meats, seafood, fresh produce, deli/bakery,
pharmaceuticals and general merchandise items. The Company's stores offer broad
lines of merchandise, including nationally advertised and private label brands
and unbranded merchandise (principally meats, seafood and produce), and
generally operate on the basis of competitive pricing. Food items sold include
dry groceries, dairy products, baked goods, meats, poultry, fish, fresh fruit,
vegetables, frozen foods and other items commonly marketed by retail food
stores. The Company's stores also sell many general merchandise items, such as
magazines, soaps, paper products, health and cosmetic products, hardware and
numerous small household items. Many locations have ancillary departments such
as pharmacies, photo labs, dry cleaners and in-store banks. At June 28, 1995,
the Company operated 1,175 retail stores of which 433 were located in Florida,
129 in North Carolina, 126 in Georgia, 87 in Alabama, 82 in South Carolina, 74
in Louisiana, 69 in Texas, 60 in Kentucky, 34 in Virginia, 21 in Ohio, 19 in
Tennessee, 18 in Mississippi, 14 in the Bahamas, 7 in Oklahoma and 2 in Indiana.
Such stores were operated under the names of "Winn-Dixie" (730), "Marketplace"
(407), "Thriftway" (25), "The City Meat Markets" (12) and "Buddies" (1).
Support and Other Services
The following table shows the locations of the Company's distribution centers
and its manufacturing and processing plants, as well as the principal products
produced in the plants:

An insignificant portion of the production of the coffee, tea, detergent,
cheese, oleomargarine, egg, condiments, carbonated beverage and cookie plants is
sold to others.
Types of products produced by the Company for sale in its stores are described
above. Services provided by the Company such as check cashing are incidental to
the total business.
The Company has not publicly announced, or otherwise made public, information
about any new product or industry segment which would require the investment of
a material amount of the assets of the Company or which otherwise is material.
Sources of available raw materials are factors which do not affect the Company
in any different manner than they affect other manufacturers and processors of
the goods identified.
Patents and trademarks owned by the Company are not of material importance to
its operations.
Seasonality does not materially affect the business of the Company. However,
due to the influx of winter residents to the Sunbelt, Florida in particular, and
increased purchases of food items for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday
seasons, there is a seasonal sales increase during the period of November -
April each fiscal year.
The Company and other food retailers have no unusual working capital
requirements.
The business of the Company is not dependent upon a single or a few customers.
The Company does not sell goods or services in an amount which equals 10 percent
or more of the Company's consolidated sales to any single customer or group of
customers under common control or to any affiliated group of customers.
Backlog ordering is not a factor in the business of the Company.
No portion of the business of the Company is subject to renegotiation of profits
or termination of contracts or subcontracts at the election of any government.
Marketing and Competition
In all areas in which the Company operates, the business is highly competitive
with local and national food chain stores as well as with independent stores and
markets. Many factors enter into the competition, including price, quality of
goods and services, product mix and convenience.
The retail food industry is extremely competitive. Each division faces somewhat
different competitive conditions. The following table lists the major
competitors for each division.

competes.
The Company did not spend a material amount on Company-sponsored research and
development activities or on Company-sponsored research activities relating to
the development of new products, services or techniques, or the improvement of
existing products, services or techniques during any of the years in the
three-year period ended June 28, 1995.
Government Regulation
The Company's compliance with federal, state and local provisions which have
been enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of materials into the
environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment has not
had, and is not expected to have, a material effect on its capital expenditures,
earnings or competitive position.
Associates
At the end of fiscal 1995, the Company had 47,000 full-time and 76,000 part-time
associates.
Bahamas
All sales are to customers within the United States and the Bahama Islands. The
Company exports an insignificant amount of merchandise to its subsidiaries in
the Bahamas which operate 14 retail food stores as outlined above.
Stores
All of the retail stores operated by the Company are on premises occupied on a
rental basis. See "Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements",
page F-14, included herein.
Support Properties
The warehousing and distribution centers are rented under leases due to expire
as follows: Atlanta - 2020; Greenville - 2020; Jacksonville (Edgewood) - 2020;
Louisville - 2020; Miami - 2017; Montgomery - 2017; New Orleans - 2017; Raleigh

The Deep South plant in Orlando, Florida, is no longer in operation and has been
replaced with a new facility. This property is now owned in fee by the Company
and is being held for sale.
The Company's Valdosta cracker and cookie bakery; Fort Worth dairy plant;
Madison meat processing plant; Plant City ice cream and milk bottling plants;
Miami reclaim center; and Gainesville oleomargarine and cheese processing and
packaging plants are owned in fee.
The Company's Greenville ice cream and milk bottling plants; Jacksonville
coffee, tea and spices processing, detergent and bag plants; Montgomery milk
bottling plant; and Hammond milk bottling plant are situated at the leased
warehousing and distribution center locations in those cities. The Bartow egg
processing plant; High Point milk bottling and cultured products plants;
Montgomery frozen pizza plant; and the Fitzgerald jam, jellies, mayonnaise,
salad dressing, peanut butter and condiments and canned and bottled carbonated
beverage plants are rented under leases.
All of the above support properties are considered to be in excellent condition.
ITEM 3: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
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.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 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, three such sites in
Jacksonville, Florida (2 related sites), one site in Madison, Florida, one site
in Charlotte, North Carolina and one site in Pembrook Park, Florida. The
Company may be 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.
The Company has entered into orders by consent with numerous other PRPs to
conduct studies and do cleanup for three of the Superfund sites and is
negotiating an agreement with PRPs who are under an order at two 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 $400,000 for four of the Superfund sites and the Texas site.
The Company believes it is not a responsible party for cleanup of the Madison,
Florida, and Tarrant County, Texas, sites and has no estimate of costs for those
matters. Other than these two and the New Mexico site mentioned below, these
involve wastes the Company paid to be properly disposed and were mishandled by
disposal companies or public disposal sites.
At one of the Tampa sites, 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 $50,000 in fiscal year 1995 with some
credits still available for this year, with additional annual costs for an
indefinite period thereafter.
The Company is also involved in the 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's
share is 15% of the total costs estimated to be less than $150,000, with minimal
annual monitoring costs thereafter.
It is the Company's policy to accrue and charge against earnings the
environmental cleanup costs when it is probable that a liability has been
incurred and an amount can be reasonably estimated, including evaluation of the
other PRPs' ability to pay. The Company believes its ultimate liability as to
these environmental matters will not necessitate significant capital outlays,
will not materially affect the annual earnings of the Company, nor cause
material changes in the Company's business. It is not possible to quantify
future environmental costs because many issues relate to actions by third
parties or changes in environmental regulation.
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.
ITEM 4: SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations.
Sales for 1995 were $11.8 billion, compared to $11.1 billion for 1994, up 6.4%.
Average weekly store sales increased 6.8% for the year, while identical store
sales increased 3.0%. Sales for the fourth quarter of 1995 were $2.9 billion,
compared to $2.6 billion for the fourth quarter of 1994, up 11.5%. For the
quarter, average store sales increased 9.5%, while identical store sales
increased 3.8%. Sales for the fourth quarter were positively affected by
approximately 1.0% due to Easter falling in the fourth quarter versus the third
quarter last year. Excluding the acquisition of Thriftway, sales for the year
would have been $11.7 billion, an increase of 5.3%, and for the fourth quarter,
$2.8 billion, an increase of 7.0%.
In fiscal year 1995, the Company opened and acquired 108 stores averaging 47,100
square feet, enlarged or remodeled 86 stores and closed 92 stores, averaging
27,300 square feet.
As a percent of sales, gross profit margins were 23.1%, 22.9% and 22.6% in
fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The increase in gross profit margins
is a result of an improved inventory mix in our larger stores. Approximately
91% of the Company's inventories are valued under the LIFO (last-in, first-out)
method. The LIFO calculations resulted in a $7.3 million pre-tax decrease in
gross profit in 1995, a pre-tax increase in gross profit of $2.0 million in 1994
and a pre-tax decrease in gross profit of $0.5 million in 1993.
Operating and administrative expenses, as a percent of sales, were 20.9%, 20.5%
and 20.3% in fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Our major increases in
operating and administrative expenses are due to a higher payroll percentage in
our larger stores, insurance premiums, occupancy cost and depreciation expense.
Cash discounts and other income amounted to $106.9 million, $98.1 million and
$132.4 million in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The increase in 1995 is
due to an increase in cash discounts resulting from an increase in purchases of
merchandise for resale. The decrease in 1994 is attributable to a reduction in
financial income, including the elimination of dividends from our Bahamas
subsidiary. Gains (losses) on the sales of securities and other assets amounted
to $0.0 million in 1995, $(3.2) million in 1994 and $4.5 million in 1993.
Investment income amounted to $0.5 million, $4.0 million and $8.4 million in
fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Interest expense totaled $14.3 million, $14.3 million and $18.1 million in
fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Interest expense primarily reflects a
computation of interest on capital lease obligations. The 1995 increase in
other interest expense is due to an increase in short-term borrowings. The 1994
decrease in other interest expense was due to a decrease in short term
borrowings.
Earnings before income taxes were $354.0 million, $348.5 million and $363.7
million in fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The 1995 increase in
pre-tax earnings is primarily a result of an increase in gross profit margin
from a better inventory mix and an increase in cash discounts and other income.
The decrease in pretax earnings in 1994 was primarily the result of a decrease
in other income. The effective income tax rates were 34.4%, 38.0% and 35.0% for
fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Net earnings amounted to $232.2 million, or $3.11 per share for 1995, $216.1
million, or $2.90 per share for 1994 and $236.4 million, or $3.11 per share for
1993. The LIFO calculations decreased net earnings by $4.6 million, or $0.06
per share in 1995, increased earnings by $1.1 million, or $0.01 per share for
1994 and decreased net earnings by $0.3 million, or $0.00 per share for 1993.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.
The Company's financial condition remains very sound and very strong. Cash and
cash equivalents amounted to $30.4 million at year-end. Cash provided by
operating activities amounted to $416.4 million in 1995, $436.3 million in 1994
and $213.0 million in 1993.
Net capital expenditures totaled $371.6 million, compared to $277.7 million for
the previous year. These expenditures were for new store locations, store
enlargements and remodelings, and the expansion of a warehouse facility. Total
capital investment in Company retail and support facilities, including operating
leases, is estimated to be $650 million in 1995 and projected to be $700 million
in 1996. The Company has no material construction or purchase commitments
outstanding as of June 28, 1995.
Working capital amounted to $425.5 million, $488.0 million and $544.7 million
for 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Inventories on a FIFO (first-in,
first-out) basis increased $108.0 million, primarily due to the increase in the
number of stores and our store enlargement program.
The Company has an authorized $200 million commercial paper program. In support
of these programs, or as an independent source of funds, the Company also has
$265 million of short- term lines of credit. These lines of credit are
available at any time during the year and are renewable on an annual basis.
There was $5.0 million borrowed against the bank lines of credit at the end of
1995 as compared to $9.5 million at the end of 1994. There was $125.0 million
in commercial paper outstanding at the end of 1995. There was no commercial
paper outstanding at the end of 1994.
Excluding capital lease obligations, the Company had no outstanding long-term
debt as of June 28, 1995 or June 29, 1994.
The Company's cash flow from operations and available credit facilities are
considered adequate to fund both the short-term and long-term capital needs of
the Company.
The Company has been notified as one of the many Potentially Responsible Parties
by the Environmental Protection Agency with respect to the clean up of hazardous
wastes 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 believes its ultimate liability as to these
environmental matters will not necessitate significant capital outlays, will not
materially affect the annual earnings of the Company, nor cause material changes
in the Company's business.
Impact of Inflation.
Winn-Dixie's primary costs, inventory and labor, increase with inflation.
Recovery of these costs has to come from improved operating efficiencies and, to
the extent permitted by our competition, through improved gross profit margins.

management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Winn-Dixie Stores,
Inc. and subsidiaries at June 28, 1995 and June 29, 1994, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
(a) Fiscal Year: The fiscal year ends on the last Wednesday in June. The
fiscal year ended 1995 comprised 52 weeks, fiscal year 1994 comprised 52
weeks and fiscal year 1993 comprised 53 weeks.
(b) Basis of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Winn- Dixie Stores, Inc. and its subsidiaries which operate
as a major food retailer in fourteen states and the Bahama Islands.
Effective June 30, 1993, the Company consolidated its Bahamas statements of
earnings in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. This
investment had previously been accounted for using the cost method. The
retroactive consolidation of the Bahamas operating results did not have a
significant impact on the statements of earnings for all years presented.
Accordingly, the 1993 and prior statements of earnings have not been restated
and the previously unrecorded earnings have been recorded directly to
retained earnings.
(c) Acquisition: On March 26, 1995, the Company acquired Thriftway, Inc., a
twenty-five store supermarket chain operating in Ohio and Kentucky in a
stock-for-stock transaction which is not reflected in the statement of cash
flows. This acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method.
(d) Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid
investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. Cash and
cash equivalents are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates
market.
(e) Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The
"dollar value" last-in, first-out (LIFO) method is used to determine the cost
of approximately 91% of inventories consisting primarily of merchandise in
stores and distribution warehouses. Manufacturing and produce inventories
are valued at the lower of first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost or market.
Elements of cost included in manufacturing inventories consist of material,
direct labor and plant overhead.
(f) Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The carrying amount of the
following financial instruments approximates fair value because of their
short-term maturity: cash and cash equivalents; trade and other receivables;
short-term borrowings; accounts payable and other accruals. See Note 6 (b)
for information on interest rate swap agreements.
(g) Income Taxes: Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
estimated 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 the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
(h) Self-insurance: Self-insurance reserves are established for automobile
and general liability, workers' compensation and property loss costs based on
claims filed and claims incurred but not reported, with a maximum per
occurrence of $2,000,000 for automobile and general liability, $1,000,000 for
workers' compensation, $500,000 for property loss, other than windstorm and
flood, and $5,000,000 for damage due to windstorm and flood. The Company is
insured for insurance costs in excess of these limits.
F-9
<PAGE>
(i) Depreciation and Amortization: Depreciation of plant and equipment,
which is stated at historical cost, is provided over the estimated useful
lives by the straight-line method or by methods that produce results similar
to the straight-line method. Amortization of improvements to leased premises
is provided principally by the straight-line method over the periods of the
leases or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, whichever is less.
(j) Store Opening and Closing Costs: The costs of opening new stores and
closing of old stores are charged to earnings in the year incurred.
(k) Earnings Per Share: The number of shares used in the calculation for
1995, 1994 and 1993 amounted to 74,717,003, 74,644,036 and 76,119,152,
respectively, which is the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during each year.
2. Accounts Receivable.
Accounts receivable at year-end were as follows:
1995 1994
Amounts in thousands
Trade and other receivables $ 67,183 52,797

Less: Allowance for doubtful items 1,105 834
$ 151,912 171,854
3. Inventories.
At June 28, 1995, inventories valued by the LIFO method would have been
$212,485,000 higher ($205,172,000 higher at June 29, 1994) if they were
stated at the lower of FIFO cost or market. If the FIFO method inventory
valuation had been used for the year ended June 28, 1995, reported net
earnings would have been $4,625,000 or $0.06 per share higher ($1,088,000 or
$0.01 per share lower in 1994 and $326,000 or $0.00 per share higher in
1993).

tax rate:

Federal statutory income tax rate 35.0 % 35.0 34.0

The retroactive increase in the federal corporate income tax rate from 34% to
35%, enacted on August 10, 1993 and effective on January 1, 1993, resulted in
additional income tax expense in fiscal 1994. This increase in income tax
expense was offset by an increase in prepaid income taxes resulting from the
federal corporate income tax rate increase as required by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."
The effective tax rate during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995 reflects the
final settlement with the Internal Revenue Service of transactions pursuant
to Section 1804(e)(4) of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 whereby certain
subsidiaries of the Company were able to utilize the benefits of the net
operating losses of certain unaffiliated corporations.

As discussed in Note 1 (b), the Company consolidated its Bahamas operations
effective June 30, 1993. The previously unrecorded earnings (net of deferred
income tax liability of $8,967,000) were recorded directly to retained earnings.
Current deferred income taxes of $58,114,000 and $56,475,000 for 1995 and 1994,
respectively, are included in the prepaid expenses in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets.
The Company believes the results of future operations will generate sufficient
taxable income to realize the deferred tax assets.

6. Financing.
(a) Credit Arrangements: The Company has available a $200 million Commercial
Paper Program. As of June 28, 1995, there was $125.0 million outstanding as
compared to no amount outstanding on June 29, 1994. The Company also has
short-term lines of credit totaling $265 million. The 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 June 28, 1995, there was $5.0
million outstanding under these bank lines of credit, compared to $9.5
million outstanding on June 29, 1994.
(b) Interest Rate Swap: The Company has entered into interest rate swap
agreements to reduce the impact of changes in rental payments which are
indexed to interest rate changes. At June 28, 1995, the Company had
outstanding four interest rate swap agreements, having a notional principal
amount of $50 million each, with an investment bank. These agreements
effectively change the Company's exposure on its leased real estate with
floating rental payments to fixed rental payments based on a 7.7% interest
rate. The interest rate swap agreements mature in June, 1997, June, 1999,
June, 2000 and June, 2001. In addition, the Company has entered into two
additional interest rate swap agreements, having a notional principal amount
of $50 million each, that do not become effective until the termination date
of the interest rate swap agreements that mature in June, 1997 and June,
1999. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance
by the other party to these interest rate swap agreements. However, the
Company does not anticipate nonperformance by the counterpart.
Since current short-term interest rates at June 28, 1995, are below the 7.7%
rate of these contracts, the estimated negative value of these swaps was
approximately $16.1 million.
7. Common Stock.
The Company has a stock purchase plan in effect for associates. Under the
terms of the Plan, the Company may grant options to associates to purchase
shares of the Company's common stock at a price at least 85% of the fair
market value at the date of grant. During fiscal year 1995, 602,546 shares
of common stock were sold to associates at an aggregate price of $25,909,478.
There are 265,564 shares of the Company's common stock available for the
grant of options under the Plan.
8. Stock Options.
Under the Company's Key Employee Stock Option Plan adopted by the Board of
Directors on January 4, 1990 and approved by the shareholders on October 3,
1990, options to acquire up to 300,000 shares of common stock may be granted
to key employees at market. On January 24, 1990, options for 206,000 shares
were granted at an exercise price of $28.50 per share. Of the options
granted, 103,000 became exercisable on June 26, 1991 and 103,000 became
exercisable on June 24, 1992. Options under this plan expire on December 31,
1996.
On October 7, 1992, the shareholders approved an amendment to the Company's
Key Employee Stock Option Plan to increase the number of shares of common
stock available for issuance to 500,000 shares. Under this plan adopted by
the Board of Directors on June 22, 1992, options to acquire 113,000 shares of
common stock were granted to key employees at an exercise price of $42.125
per share. Of the options granted, 56,500 became exercisable on June 30,
1993. The remaining 56,500 became exercisable on June 29, 1994. Options
under this plan expire on December 31, 1998.
F-13
<PAGE>
8. Stock Options, continued.
On June 22, 1994, the Board of Directors adopted an amendment to the
Company's Key Employee Stock Option Plan to increase the number of shares of
common stock available for issuance to 1,000,000 shares. This amendment was
approved by shareholders on October 5, 1994. Under this plan, options to
acquire 233,000 shares at an exercise price of $44.875 per share were granted
to key employees. Of the options granted, 116,500 shares became exercisable
on June 28, 1995 and the remaining 116,500 shares are not exercisable before
June 27, 1996, if earned. These options expire on January 15, 2001. Also,
an additional option to acquire 4,000 shares at $55.875 was granted on June
21, 1995. This option is not exercisable before June 27, 1996, if earned,
and will expire on January 15, 2001.
Changes in options under these plans during the years ended June 28, 1995,
June 29, 1994 and June 30, 1993 were as follows:
Number of Option Price
Shares Per Share
Outstanding - June 24, 1992 206,000 $28.500

Shares available for additional grant 459,000
9. Leases.
(a) Leasing Arrangements: There were 1,420 leases in effect on store
locations and other properties at June 28, 1995. Of these 1,420 leases, 59
store leases and 3 warehouse and manufacturing facility leases are classified
as capital leases. Substantially all store leases will expire during the
next twenty years and the warehouse and manufacturing facility leases will
expire during the next twenty-five years. However, in the normal course of
business, it is expected that these leases will be renewed or replaced by
leases on other properties.
The rental payments on substantially all store leases are based on a minimum
rental plus a contingent rental which is based on a percentage of the store's
sales in excess of stipulated amounts. Most of the Company's leases contain
renewal options for five-year periods at fixed rentals.

10. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities.
(a) Associate Benefit Programs: The Company has noncontributory, trusteed
profit sharing retirement programs which are in effect for eligible
associates and may be amended or terminated at any time. Charges to earnings
for contributions to the programs amounted to $55,250,000, $54,225,000 and
$54,985,000 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
F-15
<PAGE>
10. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities, continued.
In addition to providing profit sharing benefits, the Company makes group
insurance available to early retirees from the time they retire until age 65
when they qualify for Medicare/Medicaid. Currently, the early retiree group
constitutes 134 associates. This group of retirees bear the entire costs of
this plan, which is maintained totally separate from the Company's regular
group insurance plan. The Company reserves the right to modify these
benefits.
(b) Defined Benefit Plan: The Company has a Management Security Plan (MSP),
which is a non-qualified defined benefit plan providing disability, death and
retirement benefits to 557 qualified associates of the Company. Total MSP
cost charged to operations was $4,979,000, $4,557,000 and $3,992,000 in 1995,
1994 and 1993, respectively. The projected benefit obligation at June 28,
1995 was approximately $32,523,000. The effective discount rate used in
determining the net periodic MSP cost was 8.0% for 1995, 1994 and 1993.
Life insurance policies, which are not considered as MSP assets for liability
accrual computations, were purchased to fund the MSP payments. These
insurance policies are shown on the balance sheet at their cash surrender
values, net of policy loans aggregating $141,416,000 and $137,640,000 at June
28, 1995 and June 29, 1994, respectively.
Company holds life insurance on a broad-based group of qualified associates.
These insurance policies are shown on the balance sheet at their cash
surrender value, net of policy loans aggregating $367,423,000 at June 28,
1995 and $216,591,000 at June 29, 1994.
(c) 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.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 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, three such sites in
Jacksonville (2 related sites), one site in Madison, Florida, one site in
Charlotte, North Carolina and one site in Pembrook Park, Florida. The
Company may be 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.
The Company has entered into orders by consent with numerous other PRPs to
conduct studies and do cleanup for three of the Superfund sites and is
negotiating an agreement with PRPs who are under an order at two 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 $400,000 for four of the Superfund sites and the
Texas site.
The Company believes it is not a responsible party for cleanup of the
Madison, Florida, and Tarrant County, Texas, sites and has no estimate of
costs for those matters. Other than these two and the New Mexico site
mentioned below, these involve wastes the Company paid to be properly
disposed and were mishandled by disposal companies or public disposal sites.
F-16
<PAGE>
10. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities, continued.
At one of the Tampa sites, 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 $50,000 in fiscal year 1995 with some credits still available
for this year, with additional annual costs for an indefinite period
thereafter.
The Company is also involved in the 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's share is 15% of the total costs estimated to
be less than $150,000, with minimal annual monitoring costs thereafter.
It is the Company's policy to accrue and charge against earnings the
environmental cleanup costs when it is probable that a liability has been
incurred and an amount can be reasonably estimated, including evaluation of
the other PRPs' ability to pay. The Company believes its ultimate
liability as to these environmental matters will not necessitate
significant capital outlays, will not materially affect the annual earnings
of the Company, nor cause material changes in the Company's business. It
is not possible to quantify future environmental costs because many issues
relate to actions by third parties or changes in environmental regulation.
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.
11. Related Party Transactions.
The Company is essentially self-insured for purposes of employee group
life, medical, accident and sickness insurance, with The American Heritage
Life Insurance Company, a related party, providing administrative services
and expenses for medical and accident claims. The American Heritage Life
Insurance Company also financed the development and expansion of certain
retail stores. Total payments aggregating $13,442,000, $15,109,000 and
$34,108,000 were made in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation or is or was
serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer,
employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, or other enterprise against liability incurred in
connection with such proceeding, including any appeal thereof, if
he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to
be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation
and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The
termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or
conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent
shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did
not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably
believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
Corporation or, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was
unlawful.
Section 2. The Corporation shall indemnify to the fullest
extent permitted by Law any person, who was or is a party to any

director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation or is or
was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director,
officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses and
amounts paid in settlement not exceeding, in the judgment of the
Board of Directors, the estimated expense of litigating the
proceeding to conclusion, actually and reasonably incurred in
connection with the defense or settlement of such proceeding,
including any appeal thereof. Such indemnification shall be
authorized if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best
interests of the Corporation, except that no indemnification
shall be made under this subsection in respect of any claim,
issue, or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged
to be liable unless, and only to the extent that, the court in
which such proceeding was brought, or any other court of
competent jurisdiction, shall determine upon application that,
despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall
deem proper.
Section 3. To the extent that a director, officer,
employee, or agent of the Corporation has been successful on the

and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.
Section 4. Any indemnification under Section 1 or Section
2, unless pursuant to a determination by a court, shall be made
by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a
determination that indemnification of the director, officer,
employee, or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has
met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 or
Section 2. Such determination shall be made:
(a) By the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum
consisting of directors who were not parties to such proceeding;
(b) If such a quorum is not obtainable or, even if
obtainable, by majority vote of a committee duly designated by
the Board of Directors (in which directors who are parties may
participate) consisting solely of two or more directors not at
the time parties to the proceeding;
(c) By independent legal counsel:
(i) Selected by the Board of Directors prescribed in
paragraph (a) or the committee prescribed in paragraph (b); or
(ii) If a quorum of the directors cannot be obtained
for paragraph (a) and the committee cannot be designated under
paragraph (b), selected by majority vote of the full Board of
Directors (in which directors who are parties may participate; or
(d) By the stockholders by a majority vote of a quorum
consisting of stockholders who were not parties to such
proceeding or, if no such quorum is obtainable, by a majority
vote of stockholders who were not parties to such proceeding.
Section 5. Evaluation of the reasonableness of expenses and
authorization of indemnification shall be made in the same manner
as the determination that indemnification is permissible.
However, if the determination of permissibility is made by
independent legal counsel, persons specified by Section 4(c)
shall evaluate the reasonableness of expenses and may authorize
indemnification.
Section 6. Expenses incurred by an officer or director in
defending a civil or criminal proceeding may be paid by the
Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such
proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such

found not to be entitled to indemnification by the Corporation
pursuant to this section. Expenses incurred by other employees

that the Board of Directors deems appropriate.

provided pursuant to this section are not exclusive, and the

advancement of expenses of any of its directors, officers,
employees, or agents, under any by-law, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to
action in his official capacity and as to action in another
capacity while holding such office. However, indemnification or
advancement of expenses shall not be made to or on behalf of any
director, officer, employee, or agent if a judgment or other
final adjudication establishes that his actions, or omissions to
act, were material to the cause of action so adjudicated and
constitute:
(a) A violation of the criminal law, unless the director,
officer, employee, or agent had reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was unlawful;
(b) A transaction from which the director, officer,
employee, or agent derived an improper personal benefit;
(c) In the case of a director, a circumstance under which
the liability provisions of Section 607.0834, Florida Statutes,

interests of the Corporation in a proceeding by or in the right
of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor or in a
proceeding by or in the right of a stockholder.

provided in this section shall continue as, unless otherwise

person, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified.

under the provisions of this Article.
