GRAND UNION CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements of Grand Union
Capital Corporation ("Capital" or the "Company") a wholly owned subsidiary of
Grand Union Holdings Corporation ("Holdings"), have not been audited by
independent accountants. However, in the opinion of management the results of
operations include all adjustments, which (except for the matter discussed in
Note 4) consist only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair
presentation of operating results for the interim periods. These consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and related notes contained in the Company's Registration
Statement on Form S-1. Operating results for the periods presented are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. Results of
operations for the 40 weeks ended January 8, 1994 include the reclassification
of amounts, originally recorded during the 12 weeks ended October 16, 1993,
totaling $5 million as a reduction of gross profit and a reduction of operating
and administrative expense.
NOTE 2 - POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSION
The Company provides certain health care and life insurance benefits for
substantially all of its full-time non-union employees and union employee
groups. The Company's union employee groups are participants in multi-employer
plans which require monthly contributions and which are not subject to the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers'
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" ("FAS No. 106"). In
the fiscal year ended April 3, 1993 the Company recognized $2,329,000 as an
expense for postretirement health care and life insurance benefits for its
non-union employees, as claims were incurred (pay-as-you-go basis). The
Company's postretirement plans currently are not funded.
Effective April 4, 1993, the Company adopted FAS No. 106, which requires
the Company to accrue the estimated cost of retiree benefit payments during the
years each employee provides services. The Company has elected to recognize the
cumulative effect of this obligation, an increase in accrued postretirement
benefit costs of $30,308,000 and a decrease in net earnings of $30,308,000 at
April 4, 1993.
The unfunded accumulated postretirement benefit obligation consists of the
following at April 4, 1993 (in thousands):

<PAGE>
NOTE 2 - POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSION (CONTINUED)
The assumed health care trend cost rate used in measuring the accumulated
postretirement obligation as of April 4, 1993 was 15% for associates pre-age 65
and ranges from 12% to 15% for associates post-age 65 for 1993, decreasing each
successive year by 1% until the respective trend rates reach 6.5% after which
the trend rate remains constant. An increase of 1% in the assumed health care
cost trend rate for each year would increase the accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation and net postretirement health care cost by approximately
$1,800,000 and $200,000, respectively. The assumed discount rate used in
determining the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation and the interest
cost component of the net periodic cost was 8%.
NOTE 3 - ACQUISITION OF LONG ISLAND STORES
On October 18, 1993, The Grand Union Company ("Grand Union"), a wholly
owned subsidiary of Capital, acquired five supermarket locations on Long Island
from Foodarama Supermarkets, Inc. ("Foodarama") (the "Acquisition"). The cost
of the Acquisition included cash consideration paid to Foodarama of
approximately $16.1 million plus approximately $2.2 million for store inventory.
The Acquisition was financed through the application of a portion of the
proceeds from the private placement of $50,000,000 principal amount of 12 1/4%
Senior Subordinated Notes Due July 15, 2002, Series A (the "Senior Subordinated
Notes") on October 18, 1993. The Senior Subordinated Notes pay interest semi-
annually on January 15 and July 15, beginning on January 15, 1994, and have been
unconditionally guaranteed by Capital.
NOTE 4 - OTHER ITEMS
Grand Union regularly records as reductions to cost of goods sold, and
correspondingly deducts from payments to vendors, promotional allowances offered
by vendors. During the current fiscal year, Grand Union recognized that its
level of repayments of vendor allowances was greater than that customarily
experienced by it. Beginning in the second quarter of the current fiscal
year, Grand Union modified its procedures relating to the recording and
deduction of promotional allowances. These changes are expected to improve
the consistency of inter-period income recognition by reducing required
adjustments to previously deducted amounts. As a result of these changes,
the Company estimates that it experienced an increase in net loss of
approximately $4.2 million during the 12 weeks ended October 16, 1993 and an
increase in net loss of approximately $1.5 million during the 12 weeks ended
January 8, 1994. Grand Union estimates that the impact of promotional allowance
adjustments was to decrease net loss during the 16 weeks ended July 24, 1993 by
$1.3 million. Accordingly, the estimated impact for the 40 weeks ended January
8, 1994 was an increase in net loss of approximately $4.4 million. Grand Union
believes that the impact of promotional allowance adjustments was not material
to prior years and will be minimal for periods subsequent to January 8, 1994.
During the 12 weeks ended October 16, 1993, Grand Union recorded a credit
to operating and administrative expense of $3.8 million resulting from a
reduction in the Company's self insurance reserves.

</TABLE>
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results for the 12 and 40 weeks ended January 8, 1994 were impacted by the
disposal of the Company's Southern Region which was sold on March 29, 1993. The
analysis and discussion presented below compares the operations for the 12 and
40 weeks ended January 8, 1994 with the pro forma operations for the 12 and 40
weeks ended January 2, 1993 excluding the Southern Region.
Sales for the 12 and 40 weeks ended January 8, 1994 increased .7% and
decreased 2.8%, as compared to the 12 and 40 weeks ended January 2, 1993,
respectively. The sales increase for the current quarter results from the
acquisition of five supermarkets on Long Island (see Liquidity and Capital
Resources). In addition, sales performance during the current fiscal year has
been adversely affected by continued unfavorable economic conditions and low
food price inflation, partially offset by the favorable impact of the Company's
expanded capital expenditure program which began after the recapitalization of
Holdings in July 1992. Additionally, sales for the 40 weeks ended January 8,
1994 were impacted by a 22 day work stoppage, which ultimately affected sales in
61 Grand Union stores located in northern New Jersey, and in Orange and Rockland
Counties, New York. Existing store sales, influenced by the same factors
mentioned above, decreased 3.8% and 4.7% for the 12 and
8
<PAGE>
40 weeks ended January 8, 1994, respectively.
The increase in gross profit, as a percentage of sales, for the 12 and 40
weeks ended January 8, 1994 resulted from reduced product procurement costs and
a reduction of the LIFO provision. As discussed in Note 4 to these financial
statements, gross profit was reduced in the third quarter by $1.5 million and
by $4.4 million in the 40 weeks ended January 8, 1994 due to the effect of
promotional allowance adjustments.
The increase in operating and administrative expense, as a percentage of
sales, for the 12 and 40 weeks ended January 8, 1994 resulted primarily from an
increase, as a percentage of sales, in store labor and fringe benefits,
utilities expense and other fixed or semifixed expenses that increase as a
percentage of sales in periods of stagnant sales. In addition, the work
stoppage which occurred during the 40 weeks ended January 8, 1994, had a
negative impact on operating and administrative expense as a percentage of sales
due to the reduced sales during the work stoppage. The increase in operating
and administrative expense for the 40 weeks ended January 8, 1994 was partially
offset by a credit to operating and administrative expense of $3.8 million
during the 12 weeks ended October 16, 1993 resulting from a reduction in the
Company's self insurance reserves.
Depreciation and amortization was $18.3 million and $59.4 million for the
12 and 40 weeks ended January 8, 1994 compared to $16.4 million and $53.4
million for the same periods of the prior year. The increases are attributable
to the Company's expanded capital expenditure program which began after the
recapitalization of Holdings in July 1992.
Interest expense was $42.5 million and $140.0 million for the 12 and 40
weeks ended January 8, 1994 compared to $38.5 million and $130.2 million for the
same periods of the prior year. The increases are primarily due to the
increased level of debt outstanding during the respective periods this year,
partially offset by the decrease in amortization of loan placement fees.
There is no income tax provision for the 12 and 40 weeks ended January 8,
1994 and the 12 weeks ended January 2, 1993. The income tax provision for the
40 weeks ended January 2, 1993 represents state income taxes. The Company's
state income tax obligation has been eliminated as a result of the
recapitalization of Holdings.
During the 40 weeks ended January 2, 1993, Holdings recorded $3.5 million
relating to expenses incurred in connection with the recapitalization and an
extraordinary charge of $40.5 million relating to early retirement of debt.
During the 40 weeks ended January 8, 1994 the Company recorded a $30.3
million charge as the cumulative effect of an accounting change relating to the
adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106 "Employers'
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions". This charge
represents the portion of future retiree benefit costs related to service
already rendered by both active and retired employees up to the date of
adoption. The effect of this charge on EBITDA (earnings before LIFO provision,
depreciation and amortization, recapitalization expense, interest expense,
income taxes, extraordinary charge and cumulative effect of accounting change)
and net loss during the 40 weeks ended January 8, 1994 was not material.
EBITDA was $43.5 million or 7.5% of sales and $137.7 million or 7.2% of
sales for the 12 and 40 weeks ended January 8, 1994, respectively, compared to
$42.4 million or 7.3% of sales and $145.4 million or 7.4% of sales for the 12
and 40 weeks ended January 2, 1993, respectively. The Company estimates that
the 22 day work stoppage during the 40 weeks ended January 8, 1994 had the
effect of reducing EBITDA by approximately $8.0 million as a result of lost
sales, product losses and other costs associated with the work stoppage.

</TABLE>
During the 40 weeks ended January 8, 1994 funds for capital expenditures,
debt repayment, loan placement fees and the purchase of redeemable stock of
Holdings from former management investors of the Southern Region were
principally obtained from cash provided by operating activities and from
proceeds of the sale of $50 million principal amount of Senior Subordinated
Notes. During the 40 weeks ended January 2, 1993 Holdings completed a
recapitalization which included the refinancing of substantially all of its debt
and the purchase of certain common stock and warrants to purchase common stock.
As a result of the recapitalization, a prepayment of rent under the P&C Food
Markets, Inc. operating agreement was required and certain cash insurance
deposits were refunded. Funds for capital expenditures and operating activities
were financed by additional borrowings, available cash and property disposals.
Debt repayment for the 40 weeks ended January 8, 1994 and January 2, 1993, other
than the debt refinanced as part of the recapitalization, consisted of scheduled
repayments of capital leases and various mortgages.
At January 8, 1994, there were no borrowings outstanding under the
Company's $100 million revolving credit facility and $53 million was available
for additional borrowings or letters of credit.
In May 1993, Grand Union experienced a work stoppage by United Food and
Commercial Workers, Local 1262, which ultimately affected 61 Grand Union stores
located in northern New Jersey, and in Orange and Rockland Counties, New York.
As mentioned previously, the Company estimates that its EBITDA was reduced by
approximately $8 million as a result of the work stoppage. On June 28, 1993,
the Company and the banks party to the bank credit agreement entered into an
amendment which provided that certain financial covenants for periods through
April 2, 1994 will be calculated excluding the impact of costs, expenses and
lost revenue of up to $8 million resulting from the May 1993 work stoppage.
After giving effect to this amendment, the Company was in full compliance with
all terms and restrictive covenants of its debt obligations for the 40 weeks
ended January 8, 1994 and expects to be in full compliance with all of the
financial covenants for the fiscal year ending April 2, 1994. The EBITDA
requirement under the bank credit agreement for the fiscal year ending April 2,
1994 (after giving effect to the amendment described above) will be
approximately $178 million. The definition of EBITDA utilized for purposes of
measuring the Company's compliance with the EBITDA and other covenants is based
on generally accepted accounting principles in effect at the time the bank
credit agreement was executed and treats capitalized leases above defined
amounts as operating leases.

On October 18, 1993, Grand Union acquired five supermarket locations on
Long Island from Foodarama. The cost of the acquisition included cash
consideration paid to Foodarama of approximately $16.1 million plus
approximately $2.2 million for store inventory. The total gross square footage
of these five stores is approximately 160,000 square feet. Between January 1994
and June 1996, Grand Union expects to invest an additional $20 million to
renovate and enlarge certain of the acquired store locations by approximately
50,000 square feet in total. The acquisition was, and the improvements will be,
financed through the application of a portion of the proceeds from the sale of
$50 million principal amount of the Senior Subordinated Notes, which were issued
by Grand Union on October 18, 1993.
Through the 40 weeks ended January 8, 1994 the Company opened eight new
stores (including the five acquired stores on Long Island) and five replacement
stores, and completed the remodeling of 23 stores. Capital expenditures for the
year ending April 2, 1994, including capitalized leases other than real estate
capitalized leases, are expected to be approximately $100 million (including
expenditures related to the acquisition). Capital expenditures will be
principally for new stores, replacement stores, remodeled stores and
expansions. The Company plans to finance capital expenditures and scheduled
debt repayments primarily through cash provided by operations, and the proceeds
from the Senior Subordinated Notes. The Company will finance a limited amount
of capital expenditures through purchase money mortgages and equipment leases.
