              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
              ----------------------------------------------------


  1. Basis of Presentation
     ---------------------

The unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 15, 1996, included
herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
10-Q and rule 10-01 of  Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The balance sheet at December 30, 1995, has been taken from
the audited financial statements as of that date. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are
necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the period
have been made; however, these results are not necessarily indicative of the
results for the entire fiscal year. Certain financial information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. Accordingly,
reference is made to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
30, 1995.


  2. Income Taxes
     ------------

Income taxes are based on the estimated effective tax rate expected to be
applicable for the full fiscal year in accordance with Accounting Standards
Board Opinion No. 28, "Interim Financial Reporting".  The income tax benefit for
the year-to-date period ended June 15, 1996, includes a benefit of $351,439
resulting from a rate differential on a federal tax carryback.


   3.  Sale of Stores
       --------------

On January 28, 1996, the Company sold the assets and assigned the leases of its
two Connecticut stores for approximately $8.7 million  to the Wakefern Food
Corporation cooperative ("Wakefern").  Approximately $2.0 million of the
proceeds are being held in escrow until a discrepancy relating to an equipment
loan is resolved.  Depending upon the resolution of such matter, the Company
estimates that the gain or loss from this transaction could range from a gain of
$76,000 to a loss of $200,000.  At this time, the Company cannot determine the
ultimate outcome of such discrepancy.  The $6.7  million of proceeds received
was used to reduce long-term debt and borrowings under the revolving
credit facility.

   4.  Adoption of Accounting Standard
       -------------------------------

Effective December 31, 1995, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of".  This Statement establishes
accounting standards for the measurement of  the impairment of long-lived
assets, certain identifiable intangibles and goodwill related to those assets.
This Statement requires that an asset to be held and used by an entity be
reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  The Company's
long-lived assets are not impaired based on a review of such assets.

__________

(1)  EBITDA represents net earnings before interest expense, depreciation and
amortization, including non-cash losses on sale of property, plant and
equipment, income taxes and LIFO provision/credit.  EBITDA is a widely accepted
financial indicator of a company's ability to service and/or incur debt, and
also represents a primary debt covenant of the Company.  Noncompliance with this
covenant would represent a default under the Company's debt agreements that
could subject the Company to debt acceleration if not waived or amended.  EBITDA
should not be construed as an alternative to, or a better indicator of,
operating income (as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles) or to cash flows from operating activities (as determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) and should not be
construed as an indication of the Company's operating performance or as a
measure of liquidity.

Results of Operations


12 and 24 Weeks Ended June 15, 1996 Compared to 12 and 24 Weeks Ended June 17,
1995

 Sales

      For the 12 and 24 week periods ended June 15, 1996, total sales were $168
million and $343 million, respectively.  For the comparable periods ended June
17, 1995, total sales were $180 million and $354 million, respectively.

      Total sales decreased 6.9% for the quarter ended June 15, 1996, as
compared to the prior year, while same store sales decreased .7%. Total sales
decreased 3.2% for the 24 weeks ended June 15, 1996, as compared to the prior
year period, while same store sales increased 2.3%.

      The comparable 12 and 24 week periods decrease in total sales was due to
the sale of two Connecticut stores on January 28, 1996, and the conversion of
one ShopRite store to a warehouse format. The current quarter's same store sales
decrease of .7% was the result of an unusually cold and wet Spring and
competitive activity in certain of our markets. Reduced promotional spending was
the primary contributor to a reduced upward trend in same store sales
established in the first quarter.


 Gross Margin

      Gross margin increased .7% for the quarter ended June 15, 1996, and
decreased .2% for the 24 weeks ended June 15, 1996, from the comparable periods
of the prior year.

      The margin improvement for the quarter was due principally to continued
improvement in product mix throughout the store, but particularly in the higher
margin pershible departments, reduced levels of stock loss and a general upward
pricing trend in our marketplace. This improvement was moderated by an increase
in the LIFO reserve for the quarter and by the loss of Wakefern's incremental
patronage rebate for the two Connecticut stores sold January 28, 1996. Margins
for the year-to-date period were impacted further by aggressive competitive
pricing strategies in the first quarter designed to increase sales.

                                      -9-
<PAGE>
 
 Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

      Selling, general and administrative expenses were 20.8% of sales for the
12 week period ended June 15, 1996, and 20.1% of sales for the same period ended
June 17, 1995.   The increase in the current quarter versus the comparable
quarter of last year was attributable to lower expenses spread over a reduced
sales base due to the disposition of the Connecticut stores.

      The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of 0.7% of
sales for the quarter compared to the prior year quarter was attributable to
increases in store labor (.1), union benefits (.3), repairs and maintenance
(.2), store occupancy costs (.2), advertising (.1) and a severance accrual (.2)
for salary and other benefits due to two former senior officers. These increases
were partially offset by increased display allowance income (.2) and decreased
preopening store costs and closed store costs (.2). Selling, general and
administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, were 0.2% better for the 24
week period ended June 15, 1996, compared to the comparable period of the prior
year.


 EBITDA

      EBITDA increased 10.8% to $9.8 million for the 12 week period ended June
15, 1996, compared to $8.9 million for the comparable prior year period.

      EBITDA increased 7.5% to  $18.0 million for the 24 week period ended June
15, 1996, compared to  $16.8 million for the comparable prior year period.

      The EBITDA increase of 10.8% for the quarter as compared to the comparable
1995 quarter is primarily the result of the aforementioned increase in gross
margin. The EBITDA increase of 7.5% in the year-to-date period of 1996 compared
to 1995 was primarily the result of the aforementioned decrease in selling,
general and administrative expenses.


 Depreciation and Amortization

      Depreciation and amortization as a percentage of sales for the 12  and 24
week periods ended June 15, 1996, over the same periods of the prior year
remained constant.  Expenses were lower due to the sale of the property and
equipment from the two Connecticut stores sold January 28, 1996, and this was
spread over a lower 1996 sales level.

                                      -10-
<PAGE>
 
 Interest, net

      The decrease in net interest of  0.1% of  sales, for the 12 and 24 week
periods ended June 15, 1996, over the same periods of the prior year, resulted
primarily from the decreased variable interest rates  associated with the senior
bank term loans, paydowns of the senior bank term loans and lower average daily
borrowings  under the senior bank revolving loans.


 Net Loss

      Net losses were $0.9 million and $2.0 million for the 12 and 24 weeks
ended June 15, 1996, respectively, as compared to the net losses of  $1.3
million and $3.0 million for the same periods ended June 17, 1995, respectively.
The reduced net losses in the current quarter and year-to-date period compared
to the 1995 periods are attributable to the higher level of EBITDA and lower
levels of depreciation and amortization and interest, net.


 Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The Company's long-term debt (including current maturities and capital
lease obligations)  at June 15, 1996, was approximately $215.4 million.  All
mandatory principal payments required by the various debt agreements were
satisfied during the 12 and 24 week periods ended June 15, 1996.

      The Company had a working capital ratio of approximately 0.9:1 at June 15,
1996, and 0.8:1 at December 30, 1995. The Company typically requires small
amounts of working capital since inventory is generally sold prior to the time
that payments to Wakefern and other suppliers are due. Therefore, cash provided
from operations is frequently used for non-current purposes such as investing in
property and equipment and financing activities.

      Net cash provided by  operating activities was $.7  million and $5.1
million for the 24 week periods ended June 15, 1996, and June 17, 1995,
respectively.  The  cash provided by operating activities during the current 24
week period was partially offset by a reduction in working capital.

      Net cash provided by investing activities was $4.4 million for the 24 week
period ended June 15, 1996, as compared to net cash used in investing activities
of $7.1 million for the comparable period of the prior year.  The increase in
net cash provided by investing activities during the current year was
principally due to the sale of the two Connecticut stores and a reduced level of
capital expenditures for the twenty-four week period.

      Net cash used in financing activities was $5.3 million and $.7 million for
the 24 week periods ended June 15, 1996, and June 17, 1995,  respectively.  The
net cash used in  financing activities during the current year was primarily due
to the payments of long-term debt, including capitalized lease obligations.

      During the 24 weeks ended June 15, 1996, the aggregate effect of net cash
provided by operating activities of $.7 million, net cash provided by investing
activities of $4.4 million and net cash used in financing activities of $5.3
million, resulted in a net decrease in cash of $0.2 million at June 15, 1996, as
compared to December 30, 1995.

      For the 52 weeks ending December 28, 1996, the Company estimates that its
major uses of cash will be as follows: (i) cash interest payments (including
capitalized leases) of $25.0 million; (ii) capital expenditures of $13.0
million; and (iii) scheduled debt principal payments of $10.0 million (including
the non-recourse demand note payable solely from the proceeds of the sale of the
Company's Baldwin Place Shopping Center located in Somers, New York).
Management continues to believe that operating cash flow, together with
borrowings under the bank revolving credit facility and equipment financings,
will be sufficient to meet the Company's operating needs and scheduled capital
expenditures and will enable the Company to service its debt in accordance with
its terms.

      The Bank Credit Agreement provides for a $26.0 million revolving credit
facility.  There were no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit
facility at June 15, 1996; however, $7.4 million  was used from this facility
for letter of credit and bonding purposes.  The Bank Credit Agreement also
requires that the Company maintain minimum levels of consolidated net worth,
EBITDA and fixed charge coverages, and maximum levels of capital expenditures
(each as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement).  The  Company was in full
compliance with all of its financial covenants as of June 15, 1996, and
management believes that the Company will remain in compliance for the next 12
months.
