              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 Sunday  closest to the end 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.

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 carry forward.

2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

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

                   SLOAN'S SUPERMARKETS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


                         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 1, 1997 the
revolving credit facility was fully utilized.

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Net income was $102,117 for the 13 weeks ended June 2, 1997 as compared
to $330,253 for the 13 weeks ended June 1, 1996.

         Sales were  $12,254,700 in the 1997 period  compared to $13,538,008 for
the same period in 1996.  The decline in sales was  primarily  due to a delay in
the  commencement  of the Company's  remodeling  program,  which was  originally
scheduled to start  earlier this year.  In addition,  deflationary  pressures in
food  prices  also  contributed  to the  decrease in sales in the 1997 period as
compared to the 1996 period.

         The Company has  embarked on a  substantial  remodeling  program  under
which 4 stores will be extensively  remodeled and  refixtured  during the next 8
months.  The  remodels  will also result in the  expansion of the sales areas in
these  stores.  It is  anticipated  that we will  experience  appreciable  sales
increases in the remodeled stores based on prior history.

         Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 38.75% for the 13 weeks ended
June 1, 1997  compared  to  40.07%  for the 13 weeks  ended  June 2,  1996.  The
decrease in gross profit margin was mainly due to a curtailment of our long-term
forward buying program in the 1997 period as compared to the 1996 period, due to
the temporary lack of suitable available product. It is anticipated that forward
buying opportunities will once again be available in future periods.

     Store  operating,  general and  administrative  expenses were $4,238,262 or
34.59% of sales in 1997  compared  with  $4,655,726  or 34.39% of sales in 1996.
Operating  expenses as a percentage of sales increased in the 1997 period due to
the fact  that  fixed  costs,  including  occupancy  costs,  utility  costs  and
depreciation and amortization  expenses  remained constant  notwithstanding  the
decrease in sales.

         Non-store  operating  expenses were $65,046 for the 13 weeks ended June
1, 1997 as compared with $88,218 for the same period in 1996, mainly as a result
of lower legal  expenses.  The  decrease in legal  expenses  was a result of the
Company's  reduced  need during the quarter  for the  services of outside  legal
counsel  in  connection  with  litigation,  real  estate and  general  corporate
matters.
