NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 

Note 1    Basis of Presentation

The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as of July 27, 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.
The balance sheet at October 28, 1995 has been derived from the audited
financial statements at that date. In the opinion of the management of the
Registrant, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals)
which the Registrant considers necessary for a fair presentation of the
results of operations for the period have been made. Certain financial
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted. The reader is referred to the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Registrant's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 28, 1995.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial statements
in order to conform to the current year presentation.

These results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire 
fiscal year.
   
Note 2    Adoption of Accounting Standards

Employee Benefit Plans 

Effective October 30, 1994, the Registrant adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits." SFAS No. 112 requires the accrual for
postemployment benefits provided to former or inactive employees. The effect
of this change resulted in a pre tax charge of $236,000 and an after tax
charge of $175,000 or $.16 per common share in the quarter ended January 29,
1995. There was no material effect on earnings, in the quarter ended July 
27, 1996, from the adoption of SFAS No. 112. Prior to this change,
the Registrant charged these amounts to expense on a cash basis.


















Part I - Item 2  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations

Financial Condition and Liquidity

As of July 26, 1996, the Registrant and its lenders amended the Revolving
Credit and Term Loan Agreement ( as amended, the "Agreement") dated February
15, 1995. The Agreement, which is secured by substantially all of the
Registrant's assets, is with a consortium of banks and provides for a total
commitment of $30,000,000. The Agreement contains certain affirmative and
negative covenants which, among other matters will, (i) restrict capital
expenditures, (ii) require the maintenance of certain levels of net worth and
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and
maintenance of (iii) fixed charge coverage and total liabilities to net worth
ratios. The Registrant was in compliance with such covenants through
July 27, 1996.

The amended Agreement (a) increases the total amount available to the
Registrant under the working capital facility ("Revolving Note") portion of
the Agreement to $17,500,000 from $15,000,000, subject to the borrowing base
limitation of 60% of eligible inventory; (b) increases the Term Loan C
portion of the borrowings by $1,825,000 to its original principal amount of
$12,500,000; (c) revises the repayment schedule for Term Loan C to provide
that the first quarterly payment becomes due on December 31, 1996,
subsequent quarterly payments are reduced in amount and a balloon payment of
$4,500,000 becomes due on February 15, 1999; (d) amends certain definitions;
(e) changes certain borrowing limitations, including a provision which
permits secured borrowing of up to $6,536,000 from third party lenders in
fiscal 1996; (f) permits capital expenditures in fiscal 1996 and 1997 in a
manner consistent with the projected timing of such expenditures; and (g)
waives technical non-compliance by the Registrant with certain covenants of
the Agreement. Other terms and conditions of the Agreement previously
reported upon by the Registrant have not been modified.

The Registrant has pursued an asset redeployment program since entering into
the Agreement, utilizing the proceeds from the disposition of certain assets
to repay indebtedness under the Agreement. The remaining components of the
asset redeployment program consist of the sale of real estate partnership
interests in a non-supermarket property located in Shrewsbury, New Jersey and
a shopping center in West Long Branch, New Jersey in which the Registrant
operates a supermarket and the sale/leaseback or mortgaging of buildings
owned by the Registrant and located in Linden and Aberdeen, New Jersey.

The amendment to the Agreement combined with the asset redeployment plan
described above strengthen the Registrant's financial condition by increasing
liquidity and providing increased working capital through the Revolving Note.












The Registrant's compliance with the major financial covenants under the
Agreement was as follows as of July 27, 1996.                              


                                                    Actual
Financial                                          (As defined in the 
Covenant                  Agreement                 Agreement)       

Capital Expenditures      Less than $8,332,000        $ 6,957,000
Net Worth                 Greater than $27,500,000    $32,163,000
Fixed Charge Coverage
 Ratio                    Greater than .8 to 1.00     1.07 to 1.00
Total Liabilities to
 Net Worth Ratio          Less than 2.70 to 1.00      2.49 to 1.00
EBITDA                    Greater than $14,800,000    $15,472,000


As of March 29, 1996 the Registrant and Wakefern Food Corporation, the owner
of the Registrant's Class A 8% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock
(the "Preferred Stock"), amended certain provisions of the Preferred Stock
to (a) extend the date after which Wakefern shall be entitled to convert the
Preferred Stock to Common Stock from March 31, 1996 to March 31, 1997; and
(b) defer the 2% increase in the dividend rate effective March 1996 to March
1997. On May 14, 1996 the Registrant paid dividends in arrears on the
Preferred Stock of $456,980 as well as a quarterly dividend of $34,000 for
the quarter ended April 30, 1996 and on July 31, 1996 paid the current
quarterly dividend of $34,000. The Agreement provides that quarterly
dividends on the Preferred Stock may be paid through January 31, 1997 and
that the Preferred Stock may be redeemed only if the Registrant has met or
exceeded its financial performance and debt reduction targets for the year
ended November 2, 1996.

No cash dividends have been paid on the Common Stock since 1979, and the
Registrant has no present intentions or ability to pay any dividends in the
near future on its Common Stock. The Agreement does not permit the payment
of any cash dividends on the Registrant's Common Stock.

Working Capital

At July 27, 1996, the Registrant had a working capital deficiency of $2,061,000
compared to a deficiency of $4,451,000 at October 28, 1995 and a deficiency of
$9,957,000 at July 29, 1995.

The Registrant normally requires small amounts of working capital since
inventory is generally sold prior to the time that payments to Wakefern and
other suppliers are due.

Working capital ratios were as follows:

        July 27, 1996      0.95 to 1.0         
        October 28, 1995   0.90 to 1.0
        July 29, 1995      0.79 to 1.0






Cash flows (in millions) were as follows:



                                    39 Weeks Ended        
                           7/27/96                 7/29/95

Operating activities...    $11.2                   $ 9.7   
Investing activities...     (9.8)                    3.8 
Financing activities...     (1.1)                  (14.5)
       Totals              $ 0.3                   $(1.0)


The Registrant had $3,218,000 of available credit, at July 27, 1996, under its
revolving credit facility and believes that its capital resources are
adequate to meet its operating needs, scheduled capital expenditures and its
debt service in fiscal 1996.

The increase in inventory, leasehold improvements, equipment, property under
capital leases, investments in related parties and accounts payable relate
primarily to the opening of two new locations in Marlboro and Montgomery,
New Jersey in June and July, 1996 respectively. 

The decrease in other assets was due to the return to the Registrant of
$1,230,000 of collateral and the exchange of an additional $2,000,000 of
collateral for a letter of credit with the worker's compensation insurance
carrier. The decrease in related party receivables-Wakefern was due to the
receipt in December 1995 of $3,040,000 for the balance of the patronage
dividend due for Wakefern's year ended September 30, 1995 offset by a
receivable of $2,093,000 for the patronage dividend for Wakefern's current
year. 

For the 39 weeks ended July 27, 1996 depreciation was $5,953,000 while capital
expenditures totaled $9,808,000,  compared to $6,489,000 and $993,000
respectively in the prior year period.



Results of Operations    (13 weeks ended July 27, 1996 compared to 13
                          weeks ended July 29, 1995)

Sales:

Same store sales from the eighteen stores in operation in both periods
decreased .6% in the current year period versus the prior year period.
Increased competitive activity in the Registrant's marketing area, as well as
an overlap of the trading area of the new Marlboro location with two existing
stores, contributed to this decrease.


Sales for the current quarter totaled $147.8 million as compared to $147.1
million of sales in the prior year period. Sales for the current quarter
included the operations of the new locations in Marlboro and Montgomery,
New Jersey opened June 19, 1996 and July 13, 1996, respectively while the
prior year period includes the sales of the two Pennsylvania stores sold in
May 1995.

Gross Profit:

Gross profit on sales increased to 25.5% of sales in the current period
compared to 25.3% in the prior year period. Patronage dividends, applied as a
reduction of the cost of merchandise sold, were $1.2 million in the current
period versus $1.1 million in the prior year period. The increase in gross
profit was due to the reduced assessment charged by Wakefern on purchases for
new store locations. The exclusion of results of the two Pennsylvania stores,
from the prior year results, would not have had any material impact on gross
profit percentages when comparing the current period to the prior year period.


Operating Expenses:

Store operating, general and administrative expenses as a percent of sales were
24.7% versus 24.1% in the prior year period. The increase in selling, general
and administrative expenses was due to grand opening expenses for the two new
locations, as well as increased promotional activity in the Registrant's
marketing area and a decline in income generated from the sale of cardboard
due to a drop in the cardboard market. As a percentage of sales, labor and
related fringe benefit costs increased .28%, selling expense increased .22%
and miscellaneous income declined .21%. These increases were partially offset
by decreased supply costs of .15%.


Interest Expense:

Interest expense decreased to $811,000 from $982,000 while interest income was
$26,000 compared to $172,000 for the prior period. The decline in interest
expense for the current year period was due to a decrease in the interest
rate paid on debt. 


Income Taxes:

An income tax rate of 37% has been used in the current period based on the 
expected effective tax rate for fiscal 1996, while a rate of 26% was used in
the prior year period. 


Net Income:

Net income was $320,000 in the current year period as compared to $545,000 in
the prior year period. Net income before taxes, as well as earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for the thirteen
weeks ended July 29, 1995 included a loss on the sale of property of $102,000
($71,000 after taxes). EBITDA for the current period were $3,744,000 as
compared to $5,230,000 in the prior year period. Net income per common share
was $.25 in the current period compared to  $.45 in the prior year period.
Both period calculations are based on 1,118,150 shares outstanding and a
provision of $34,000 for preferred stock dividends.





Results of Operations    (39 weeks ended July 27, 1996 compared to 39
                          weeks ended July 29, 1995)


Sales:

Same store sales from the eighteen stores in operation in both periods increased
3.0% in the current year period versus the prior year period. An increase in
promotional activities in the current period, as well as improved inventory
stocking levels, contributed to this increase.

Sales for the stores in operation for the current year thirty nine week
period totaled $434.9 million as compared to $447.4 million of sales from the
stores operated in the prior year period. Sales for the thirty nine weeks
ended July 27, 1996 include the operations of two new locations in Marlboro
and Montgomery, New Jersey opened June 19, 1996 and July 13, 1996,
respectively. The prior year period includes sales of the two Pennsylvania
stores sold in May 1995. 


Gross profit:

Gross profit on sales increased slightly to 25.3% of sales compared to 25.0% in
the prior year period. Patronage dividends, applied as a reduction of the
cost of merchandise sold, were $3.4 million in both periods. The two new
locations did not have a material impact on the current period gross profit
percentage. The exclusion of results of the two Pennsylvania stores, from the
prior year results, would not have had any material impact on gross profit
percentages when comparing the current period to the prior year period.


Operating Expenses:

Store operating, general and administrative expenses as a percent of sales
were 24.3% compared to 24.1% in the prior year period. This increase was the
result of grand opening expenses for the two new locations, as well as
increased promotional activity in the Registrant's marketing area and a
decrease in income generated from the sale of cardboard due to a drop in the
cardboard market. As a percentage of sales, labor and related fringe benefit
costs increased .05%, selling expense increased .04% and miscellaneous income
declined .13%. These increases were partially offset by decreases in other
store expenses of .06%.


Interest Expense:

Interest expense decreased to $2,414,000 from $3,516,000 while interest income
was $98,000 compared to $198,000 for the prior period. The decline in
interest expense for the current year period was due to a decrease in the
average outstanding debt since July 29, 1995, as well as a decrease in the
interest rate paid on debt.




Income Taxes:

An income tax rate of 37% has been used in the current period based on the
expected effective tax rate for fiscal 1996, while a rate of 26% was used in
the prior year period.

Net Income:

Net income was $1,190,000 in the current year period. This compares to
$698,000 in the prior year period before an extraordinary item and the
cumulative effect of a change in accounting and a loss of $845,000 in the
prior year period after the extraordinary charge and the cumulative effect of
a change in accounting. Net income in the prior year period includes an after
tax gain of $351,000 on the sale of property. Earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for the current period were
$11,573,000 as compared to $12,838,000 in the prior year period before the
gain on the sale of property. Net income per common share was $.97 in the
current period compared to $.53 in the prior year period before the
extraordinary charge and the cumulative effect of a change in accounting.
Both period calculations are based on 1,118,150 shares outstanding and a
provision of $102,000 for preferred stock dividends.

Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the purchase price paid by the
Borrowers with respect to the Leased Building (to a maximum of $650,000)
concurrently with the Proposed Mortgage Financing shall not constitute
"Covered Expenditures" under this Section 7.07.  Nothing herein shall
constitute the consent or approval by the Agent or any Lender with respect to

expenditures made other than concurrently with the Proposed Mortgage
Financing.

Determination Date").  On and after the Montgomery/Marlboro Determination
Date, the Montgomery/Marlboro Capital Expenditures (less the amount financed
under the Montgomery/Marlboro Equipment Financing, if any) will constitute
Covered Expenditures for the month of July, 1996.  If the financial
statements and certificates with respect to the fiscal quarter ending July,
1996 as described in Section 7.01(d) of this Agreement have been delivered
prior to the Montgomery/Marlboro Determination Date, then the Borrowers shall
