                   SLOAN'S SUPERMARKETS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES


BUSINESS - The Company owns and operates  fourteen  supermarkets  and one health
and beauty aids store (the "Supermarkets")  under the "Sloan's" name in New York
City (thirteen are located in Manhattan and two are located in Brooklyn). Eleven
Supermarkets  were  acquired  in March  1993  from CKMR  Corporation  ("CKMR"),a
privately-held  corporation  unaffiliated with the Company.  In August 1995, the
Company sold the  leasehold of one of its  supermarkets;  in October  1995,  the
Company  purchased  three  other   Supermarkets  from  Supermarket   Acquisition
Corp.("SAC"),  a company owned and  controlled by the Company's  Chairman of the
Board and Chief  Executive  Officer,  John  Catsimatidis.  In February 1996, the
Company  opened one new  Supermarket  and on March 7, 1996, the Company opened a
health  and  beauty  aids  store.  The  Company  leases  all of its  Supermarket
locations.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - The consolidated  financial statements include the
accounts  of  the  Company  and  its  wholly-owned   subsidiary.   All  material
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

QUARTER END - The Company  operates  using the  conventional  retail  52/53 week
fiscal year. The fiscal quarter ends on the last Sunday of the quarter.

INVENTORY - Store  inventories  are valued  principally  at the lower of cost or
market with cost determined under the retail first in, first out (FIFO) method.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT -  Depreciation  of furniture,  fixtures and equipment is
computed by the  straight-line  method over the  estimated  useful  lives of the
assets.

LEASES - The Company charges the cost of noncancelable  operating lease payments
and beneficial  leaseholds to operations on a straight-line basis over the lives
of the leases.

RECLASSIFICATIONS - Certain reclassifications have been made to the presentation
of the quarter ended May 28, 1995 to conform to the presentation for the quarter
ended June 2, 1996 and fiscal 1996.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES - Income taxes reflect Federal and State  alternative
minimum tax only, as all regular income taxes have been offset by utilization of
the Company's net operating loss carryforward.

The Company's  Form 10-K for the year ended March 3, 1996  contains  information
which should be read in conjunction herewith.


2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company has advanced  funds to a company  owned by the Chairman of the Board
who is also the  principal  stockholder  of the Company.  As of June 2, 1996 the
Company  is owed  $322,830  including  accrued  interest.  As of March 3,  1996,
advances and accrued interest totaled $318,005.

Red Apple Group,  Inc.  (Red  Apple),  a company  wholly owned by the  Company's
Chairman  of the  Board,  supervises  all  operations  of the  Company  under  a
management agreement. The agreement requires the Company to pay to Red Apple one
and one quarter percent of sales as a management fee. Management fees for the 13
weeks  ended  June  3,  1996  and May  28,  1995  were  $169,225  and  $151,292,
respectively.

Red Apple periodically  provides  maintenance services for the Company which are
not covered by the management agreement.  During the quarters ended June 2, 1996
and May 28, 1995, there were no such services rendered.

2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (Continued)

Red Apple also operates 37 supermarkets in the New York  metropolitan area under
the  Sloan's  and  Gristede's  banners.  The  Company's  advertising  program is
combined with all of these Red Apple supermarket entities.  Consistent with this
shared  advertising  program the  Company is  allocated  advertising  income and
expense by Red Apple based on the Company's  portion of sales to total Red Apple
supermarket  sales.  Certain  direct store  advertising  expense is charged on a
store by store basis.

The Company  purchases produce and certain sundry items from a subsidiary of Red
Apple at prices  consistent  with those  charged to other Red Apple  entities as
well as non-affiliated customers.  Purchases for the 13 weeks ended June 2, 1996
and May 28, 1995 were $1,283,769 and $712,778, respectively.

Legal fees  incurred  by the  Company to a law firm,  of which a director of the
Company is a member,  were  $36,000  and  $76,000 for the 13 weeks ended June 2,
1996 and May 28, 1995, respectively.

PART I

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                 Condition and Results of Operations
                       For the 13 weeks ended
                    June 2, 1996 and May 28, 1995


                               FINANCIAL CONDITION

         The Company's  working capital  deficiency  decreased by  approximately
$447,500  during  the 13 weeks  ended  June 2,  1996.  The major  changes in the
components of working capital are as follows:

         Due from related parties increased by approximately $345,400, primarily
reflecting the billing for advertising income and volume  achievement  discounts
by Red Apple on behalf of the Company.

         Inventory increased by approximately $109,000,  reflecting management's
continued desire to take advantage of volume achievement allowances.

         Accounts payable and other current liabilities remained consistent with
the prior period.

         Long term debt  decreased by $300,000  reflecting  scheduled  principal
payments during the period.

                         Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The  Company  believes  that it will be able to  satisfy  its bank loan
agreement and  supermarket  operating  requirements  from  internally  generated
funds.  In  addition,  the  Company has in place a $1 million  dollar  revolving
credit  facility to provide short term working  capital.  As of June 2, 1996 the
revolving credit facility was fully utilized.

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Net income was $330,253  for the 13 weeks in 1996  compared to $218,290
for the 13 weeks in 1995, an increase of 51%.

          Sales  totaled  $13,538,008  for  the 13  weeks  in 1996  compared  to
$12,103,359  for the same  period in 1995.  The  increase is  attributed  to the
acquisition  of additional  stores (see,  Basis of  Presentation  and Summary of
Significant   Accounting  Policies  "Business").   Same  store  sales  decreased
approximately  $595,000  during the 13 weeks ended in 1996  compared to the same
period in 1995.  The  decrease  is  partially  the  result of the  Memorial  Day
holiday,  the start of the summer  season,  coming one week  earlier in the 1996
quarter  than  the 1995  quarter,  this  traditionally  being  the  start of the
Company's weakest sales period.

         Gross  profit as a  percentage  of sales was 40.07% for the 13 weeks in
1996  compared to 37.47% for the same period in 1995.  The  improvement  in 1996
primarily reflects improved cost controls,  more efficient inventory  purchasing
and a better product mix.

          Store operating expenses were $4.65 million or 34.39% of sales for the
13 weeks in 1996 compared to $4.0 million or 33.04% of sales for the same period
in 1995. The increase as a percentage of sales is primarily  attributable  to an
increase in  depreciation  expense of $146,100 or 1% of sales.  The  increase in
depreciation expense is directly  attributable to the acquisition and opening of
additional supermarket locations.

         Non-store  operating  expenses  were  $88,218  for the 13 weeks in 1996
compared to $116,530 for the same period in 1995. The decrease primarily relates
to provisions for legal fees for a class action  lawsuit (See  Company's  Annual
Report  filed on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended  March 3, 1996,  Item 3. "Legal
Proceedings")accrued for during the 13 weeks in 1995. No such accruals were made
during the 13 weeks in 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

         Interest  expense  was  $178,021  for the 13 weeks in 1996  compared to
$95,235  for the 13 weeks in 1995.  The  increase  is  primarily  the  result of
additional  borrowing used to finance the purchase of 3 additional  supermarkets
and provided the Company with a $1 million revolving credit facility. As of June
2, 1996 the revolving credit facility was fully utilized.

         All other income and expense items, remained consistent as a percentage
of sales for the comparable periods.
