               This Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A (this "Amendment") is being
filed by Delhaize America, Inc., a North Carolina corporation ("Delhaize
America" or the "Registrant"), to amend Item 7 of the Registrant's Current
Report on Form 8-K dated July 31, 2000, filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") on August 15, 2000 (the "Initial Report"). This Amendment
and the Initial Report relate to the merger (the "Merger") of FL Acquisition
Sub, Inc., a Maine corporation wholly-owned by Delhaize America, with and into
Hannaford Bros. Co., a Maine corporation ("Hannaford"), resulting in Hannaford
becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Delhaize America. Pursuant to the
instructions to Item 7 of Form 8-K, the Registrant is filing this Amendment (not
later than 60 days after the date that the Initial Report was required to be
filed) in order to include the pro forma financial information required with
respect to the acquisition of Hannaford. Pursuant to Rule 12b-15 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the complete text of Item 7, as
amended, is set forth below.

Item 7.        Financial Statements and Exhibits

Item 7(a).     Financial Statements of Business Acquired

               The required financial information of Hannaford is hereby
incorporated by reference to Hannaford's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
period ended January 1, 2000, filed with the SEC on March 10, 2000, and
Hannaford's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended April
1, 2000, filed with the SEC on May 5, 2000.

Item 7(b).     Pro Forma Financial Information

               The following unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed
financial statements give effect to the Merger applying the purchase method of
accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The
unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed financial statements are presented
for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the results
of operations or financial position that would have been realized had Delhaize
America and Hannaford been a consolidated company during the specified periods,
nor are they necessarily indicative of future consolidated results of operations
or financial position.

               The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed statements of
income assume that the Merger was completed at the beginning of the periods
presented. The six-month period of 2000 includes the 24-week period ended June
17, 2000 for Delhaize America and the 26-week period ended July 1, 2000 for
Hannaford. The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed balance sheet assumes
that the Merger was completed as of June 17, 2000.

               The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed financial
statements are based on (i) the historical financial statements of Delhaize
America as of and for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2000, as reported in
Delhaize America's Annual Report on Form 10-K for such period, and as of and for
the 24-week period ended June 17, 2000, as reported in Delhaize America's
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for such period, and (ii) the historical financial
statements of Hannaford as of and for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2000, as
reported in Hannaford's Annual Report on Form 10-K for such period, and the
interim financial statements prepared by Hannaford as of and for the 26-week
period ended July 1, 2000. These unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed
financial statements should be read in conjunction with and are qualified by the
above referenced historical consolidated financial statements of Delhaize
America and Hannaford and related notes thereto.

      NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

NOTE 1-BASIS OF PRESENTATION

        The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed financial information has
been prepared applying the purchase method of accounting assuming the Merger,
effective July 31, 2000, occurred, with respect to the pro forma statements of
income, as of the beginning of the periods presented, and, with respect to the
pro forma balance sheet, as of June 17, 2000. Under the purchase method of
accounting, the purchase cost is allocated to acquired assets and liabilities
based on their relative fair values at the effective date of the Merger. The
amount by which the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the net assets
acquired has been allocated to goodwill, which will be amortized over forty
years. Such allocations are subject to final adjustments within a one-year
period from the closing date of the transaction. Management does not presently
expect the final allocations to differ materially from the amounts presented
herein.

        The amounts and components of the estimated purchase price reflected in
the unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed financial information are as
follows: (i)  approximately $2.3 billion in cash and approximately 13.7 million
shares of Delhaize America Class A common stock valued at approximately $352
million exchanged in the Merger for all the outstanding shares of Hannaford
common  stock, (ii) fully vested options to purchase approximately 4.2 million
shares of Delhaize America Class A common stock valued at approximately $40
million, which were converted from options to acquire shares of Hannaford
common stock, and (iii) approximately $0.5 billion in cash and 11.9 million
shares of Delhaize America Class A common stock valued at approximately $306
million paid to Empire Company Limited and E.C.L. Investments Limited (the
"Empire Group") in a transaction immediately preceding the Merger in exchange
for all of the shares of Hannaford common stock held by the Empire Group.

        The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed financial information
also reflects pro forma adjustments made to reflect (i) allocation of the
purchase cost to acquired assets and liabilities, (ii) the sale of 38 Hannaford
stores and closing of 13 Hannaford stores in markets in the southeastern United
States in response to the antitrust review of the Merger by the Federal Trade
Commission ("FTC") and (iii) the sale by Hannaford of a majority interest in
HomeRuns.com, Inc. ("HomeRuns"), which was consummated February 14, 2000. The
expected cost savings to be achieved as a result of the Merger, estimated at
approximately $40 million in the first year following consummation of the Merger
and $75 million annually by year three, are excluded from the pro forma data.

        Certain financial statement items have been reclassified to conform to
the current presentation.

NOTE 2-PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

The following pro forma adjustments have been made to the historical financial
statements of Delhaize America and Hannaford based upon assumptions made by
management for the purpose of preparing the unaudited pro forma consolidated
condensed financial statements.

(a)     Includes adjustments related to Hannaford's sale or closure of its 51
        southeastern United States retail locations and its sale of a majority
        interest in HomeRuns, an Internet based grocery retail business. The pro
        forma adjustments reflect (i) elimination of sales, cost of sales and
        operating costs directly associated with these former Hannaford
        operations as well as related assets and liabilities, and (ii) inclusion
        of proceeds received upon sale of divested assets.

                                       6
<PAGE>   7

(b)     To provide deferred taxes of $173 million related to the temporary
        differences between book and tax basis of assets and liabilities
        acquired which arose as a result of the purchase price allocation.

(c)     To conform Hannaford's inventory accounting method to that used by
        Delhaize America and to eliminate Hannaford's LIFO reserve to properly
        reflect the current fair value of its inventory.

(d)     To adjust Hannaford's long-term assets to current estimated fair market
        value principally based on independent appraisals.

(e)     To record identifiable intangible assets acquired in the Merger,
        principally consisting of trademarks, distribution network, work force,
        favorable lease rights, and prescription files, having an aggregate
        value, based on independent appraisal, of approximately $480 million.

(f)     To eliminate Hannaford's historical basis in certain intangible and
        other assets.

(g)     To record approximately $2.6 billion as goodwill representing the excess
        of purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and
        identifiable intangible assets.

(h)     To record the bridge financing of approximately $2.8 billion and adjust
        liabilities assumed in the acquisition to estimated fair value based on
        estimates of current interest rates and market values.

(i)     To eliminate the Hannaford equity accounts and record the increase in
        shareholders' equity for the fair value of shares of Delhaize America
        Class A common stock issued in exchange for shares of Hannaford common
        stock and the fair value of the Delhaize America fully vested employee
        stock options which were given in exchange for Hannaford options in
        connection with the Merger.

(j)     Represents the amortization of the acquired identifiable intangible
        assets and goodwill resulting from the acquisition over the estimated
        useful lives which range from 2 to 40 years. The total amortization
        included is approximately $43 million and $85 million for the 24-week
        period ended June 17, 2000 and year ended January 1, 2000, respectively.

(k)     To eliminate divestiture and merger costs incurred during the period
        presented.

(l)     Represents the interest expense effect of approximately $2.7 billion of
        additional debt as a result of the transaction. Management has assumed
        an average interest rate of approximately 8% based upon the rate
        associated with the bridge financing secured for the initial financing
        of the cash consideration in the Merger.  The effect of an interest
        rate change of 1/8th of one percent would increase/decrease interest
        expense approximately $3.3 million per year.




                                       7
<PAGE>   8

(m)     Represents the anticipated tax effect of the pro forma adjustments
        listed above (excluding goodwill amortization). The principal difference
        in the effective tax rate for the consolidated pro forma statements of
        income relates to the amortization of goodwill.

(n)     Includes shares issued to Hannaford shareholders upon closing of the
        Merger.

(o)     Includes the common stock equivalents associated with Delhaize America
        stock options issued in exchange for fully vested Hannaford stock
        options held by Hannaford employees.
