                     TRAK AUTO CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                          May 2, 1998 and May 3, 1997
                                  (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - GENERAL

The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the accounts of Trak
Auto Corporation ("Trak Auto") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  Trak Auto
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are referred to collectively as the
"Company". All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated. The Company is engaged in the business of operating specialty
retail stores in the United States. The unaudited statements as of May 2, 1998
and May 3, 1997 reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (normal
and recurring in nature) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial
position of the Company as of May 2, 1998 and May 3, 1997 and the results of
operations and cash flows for the periods indicated.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of
the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period.  Accordingly, actual results could differ from
those estimates.

The results of operations for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 1998 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for the fiscal year ended
January 30, 1999.

NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

The computation of diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average
number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding during the
periods presented.  Common Stock equivalents were anti-dilutive for all periods
presented.  The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 128, Earnings Per Share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998 and
has restated all previously presented earnings per share.  Dilutive stock
options represent the only difference between basic and diluted earnings per
share.

NOTE 3 - INTERIM INVENTORY ESTIMATES

The Company's inventories are priced at the lower of last-in, first-out cost or
market.  At May 2, 1998 and January 31, 1998, inventories determined on a
first-in, first-out basis would have been greater by $3,862,000 and $3,846,000,
respectively.

The Company takes a physical count of its store inventories semi-annually  and
the Company uses a gross profit method combined with available perpetual
inventory information to determine inventories for quarters when complete
physical counts are not taken.  The Company did not take a physical inventory
for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 1998.

NOTE 4 - CREDIT AGREEMENT

In December 1996, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility (the
"Facility") with a finance company to borrow up to $25.0 million.  The Company
intends to use proceeds from borrowings under the Facility for working capital
and other corporate purposes.  The Facility has an original term of three
years.  Borrowings under the Facility bear interest at rates ranging from prime
rate minus 0.50% to prime rate plus 0.25%, for prime rate loans, and LIBOR plus
1.5% to LIBOR plus 2.25%, for LIBOR loans. Interest rates are based upon the
Company's ratio of debt to tangible net worth.  Borrowings are limited to
eligible inventory levels, as defined, and are secured by the Company's
inventory, accounts receivable and proceeds from the sale of such assets.  The
Facility contains certain restrictive covenants including limitations on
additional indebtedness and advances to affiliates and includes an interest
rate that fluctuates with the Company's ratio of funded debt to equity.

Interest on prime rate loans is payable monthly.  Interest and principal on
LIBOR loans is payable between one and six months from the borrowing date.
LIBOR loans are subject to a prepayment penalty and may be continued for a
subsequent one to six month period.  LIBOR loans may be converted to prime rate
loans and vice versa.  The Facility includes a facility fee of .25% per annum
on the unused principal balance, as defined.  No single advance may be
outstanding for more than 36 months.  The Company may terminate the Facility
upon 60-days prior written notice to the lender and the lender may terminate it
as of December 18, 1999 or on any anniversary date thereafter upon 60-days
prior written notice to the Company.

In addition, the Company has a $750,000 commercial letter of credit facility
for use in importing merchandise.

At May 2, 1998, there had been no borrowing under the Facility and no
borrowings under the letters of credit facility.

NOTE 5 - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATE

The Company entered into a loan agreement on January 27, 1998 with Dart Group
Corporation ("Dart"), which owns approximately 67.1% of the Company's common
stock.  The agreement was subsequently amended on April 28, 1998.  Under the
terms of the loan agreement, Dart borrowed $15.0 million, the repayment of
which is secured by the common stock of Trak Auto.  The loan bears interest at
a rate equal to the prime rate as set forth in The Wall Street Journal, plus
one and one-half percent (1.5%).  Interest is payable monthly and the principal
is payable in two equal installments on February 3, 1999 and July 31, 1999.

In addition, the Company advanced Dart approximately $3.3 million in November
1997, which was evidenced by a promissory note.  In May 1998, Dart repaid the
advance.

NOTE 6 - MERGER

Merger of Dart

On April 9, 1998, Dart entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
"Merger Agreement") with Richfood Holdings, Inc. ("Richfood Holdings") and a
subsidiary of Richfood Holdings ("Acquisition Subsidiary").  Pursuant to the
terms of the Merger Agreement, Richfood Holdings (i) made a cash tender offer
(the "Offer") for all the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Dart
at a price of $160.00 per share and (ii) caused Acquisition Subsidiary to merge
with and into Dart (the "Merger") in a transaction in which Dart became a
wholly owned subsidiary of Richfood Holdings. The Offer closed on May 13, 1998
and the Merger was effective on May 18, 1998.  As a result of the Offer and the
Merger, Richfood Holdings indirectly owns 67.1% of the outstanding Common Stock
of the Company.

Richfood Holdings has expressed its intent to cause Dart to divest its
ownership of the Company as soon as practicable.  The impact, if any, resulting
from a divestiture of the Company by Dart has not been considered in these
financial statements.

NOTE 7 - LITIGATION

In January 1998, Trak Auto was named as a defendant in two class action
lawsuits (Richard Amezcua, Augustin Dominquez, and other members of the general
public similarly situated v. Trak Auto Corporation, Superior Court of
California. Action No. BC183900) and (D'Artanyon Tett, Linda Wendt and
individuals on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated v. Trak
Auto Corporation., Superior Court of the State of California. Action No. BC
186931) involving former California employees of the Company alleging improper
wage and hour practices.  The suit claims that former salaried employees should
have been paid overtime.  Management and outside legal counsel are in the
process of evaluating these claims.  The Company is unable to express an
opinion as to the merit, if any, or potential liability, if any, of these
lawsuits as of the filing date of this report.

NOTE 8 - SALE OF CALIFORNIA OPERATIONS

In October 1997, Trak Auto entered into an agreement with CSK Auto, Inc. 
("CSK") pursuant to which Trak Auto agreed to sell to CSK its interest in its
California operations (including inventory, store fixtures and the assignment
of store leases). Trak Auto and CSK closed the transaction in December 1997 for
an aggregate purchase price of approximately $32.8 million. The Company
realized a pre-tax loss of approximately $8.2 million on the transaction.

NOTE 9 - PITTSBURGH MARKET

On January 31, 1998, Trak Auto closed its 15 stores in the Pittsburgh
Pennsylvania market and recorded a provision for closed stores of approximately
$14.9 million. During the 13 weeks ended May 2, 1998, Trak Auto reversed
approximately $1.0 million of this reserve as a result of negotiating favorable
lease terminations.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
         and Results of Operations

Outlook

Except for historical information, statements in this Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are forward-
looking.  Actual results may differ materially due to a variety of factors,
including, without limitation, the  ability of the Company to open new stores
and close other stores, the sufficiency of recorded reserves for store
closings, the availability of capital to fund operations, the effect of
national and regional economic conditions and other risks described from time
to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Company undertakes no obligation and does not intend to update, revise or
otherwise publicly release the result of any revisions to these forward-looking
statements that may be made to reflect future events or circumstances.

In connection with its acquisition of Dart, Richfood Holdings has expressed its
intent to cause Dart to divest its ownership of the Company as soon as
practicable (see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The Company
has formed an independent committee of the Board of Directors and engaged a
financial advisor to pursue strategic alternatives with respect to the
disposition of Dart's ownership of the Company that are intended to maximize
value to all of the Company's shareholders in connection with such disposition.
Such transaction could take one or more of the following forms: (i) a sale of
Dart's equity interest in the Company, or a distribution of such equity interest
to Richfood Holdings to be followed by a spin-off of such equity interest to
Richfood Holdings' shareholders; (ii) a sale of all the outstanding equity of
the Company pursuant to a merger, tender offer or other share exchange; (iii) a
sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, followed by a
distribution of the net proceeds thereof to the Company's stockholders; (iv) a
recapitalization of the Company; or (v) a liquidation of the Company. There can
be no assurance that any transaction will be effected or, if effected, will be
at a price in excess of the current market price per common share.

The Company believes that its Super Trak superstore concept represents the
strongest segment of its business and anticipates that all of its new stores
will be opened as Super Trak stores in existing and possibly new markets.  In
the past, superstores that were converted from Classic Trak stores have
generated higher sales and higher gross margins as a result of a change in
product mix (increased hard parts).  The Company believes that as superstores
mature, operating expenses as a percentage of sales will decrease.

The Company intends to continue its practice of reviewing the profitability
trends and prospects of existing stores.  The Company may from time to time
close, relocate or sell stores (or groups of stores) that are not satisfying
certain performance objectives.  As a result of this ongoing review, in
December 1997, the Company sold its California operations and on January 31,
1998 the Company closed 15 stores in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The automotive aftermarket is a highly competitive market place.  As a result,
the industry is consolidating with independent operators and small chains that
are either going out of business or being acquired by larger competitors.
Additionally, the do-it-yourself customer base is shrinking due to the
increased complexity of automobiles, the increased incidence of leasing, and the
availability of well maintained leased vehicles entering the used car market.
Management believes that the markets in which it operates will remain highly
competitive in the foreseeable future.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash, including short-term instruments, is the Company's primary source of
liquidity.  Cash, including short-term instruments, decreased by $8,978,000 to
$8,909,000 at May 2, 1998 from $17,887,000 at January 31, 1998.  The decrease
was primarily due to funding the current period operating loss and payments on
year end accounts payable balances from the California and Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania markets.

<PAGE>   11
Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
         and Results of Operations, Continued

Operating activities used $8,886,000 of the Company's funds during the 13 weeks
ended May 2, 1998 compared to providing $2,447,000 during the 13 weeks ended
May 3, 1997.  The change was primarily due to funding the current period
operating loss and payments on year end accounts payable balances from the
California and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania markets.

Investing activities used $49,000 of the Company's working capital during the
13 weeks ended May 2, 1998 compared to providing $501,000 to the Company during
the 13 weeks ended May 3, 1997.  The change was due to the maturities of United
States Treasury Notes last year.  Capital expenditures decreased from $649,000
last year to $105,000 this year.

Financing activities used $43,000 of the Company's funds during the 13 weeks
ended May 2, 1998 for payments for capital lease obligations.

The Company funds its requirements for working capital and capital expenditures
with net cash generated from operations, existing cash resources, expected
income tax refunds and, if necessary, borrowings under the Company's revolving
credit facility. The Company's primary capital requirements relate to
remodelings and new store openings (including purchases of inventory and the
costs of store fixtures and leasehold improvements).  As of May 2, 1998, the
Company had entered into a lease agreement to open one new store.

Results of Operations

13 Weeks Ended May 2, 1998 Compared to the 13 Weeks Ended May 3, 1997

The Company sold its California operations and closed its stores in the
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania market during fiscal 1998. These stores represented in
the aggregate $28.0 million in sales during the 13 weeks ended May 3, 1997. The
Company has not restated the 13 weeks ended May 3, 1997 on a pro forma basis.

During the 13 weeks ended May 2, 1998, Trak Auto opened three Super Trak stores
and closed or converted three Classic Trak stores.  At May 2, 1998, Trak Auto
had 181 stores, including 90 Super Trak stores and 26 Super Trak Warehouse
stores.

Sales of $53,323,000 for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 1998 decreased by
$28,282,000 or 34.7% compared to the 13 weeks ended May 3, 1997.  The decrease
was primarily due to Trak Auto's sale of its California operations in December
1997 and closure of its Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania stores on January 31, 1998.
Comparable sales (stores open more than one year) decreased 2.2% in the 13
weeks ended May 2, 1998 compared to the 13 weeks ended May 3, 1997.  The
decrease in comparable sales was primarily due to an increase in competition in
the markets in which the Company operates.  Sales for comparable Super Trak
Warehouse stores decreased 3.2% in the 13 weeks ended May  2, 1998.  Sales for
comparable Super Trak stores decreased 1.6% in the 13 weeks ended May 2, 1998.
Sales for comparable Classic Trak stores decreased 2.8% in the 13 weeks ended
May 2, 1998. Sales for Super Trak and Super Trak Warehouse stores represented
72.6% of total sales during the 13 weeks ended May 2, 1998 compared to 68.1%
for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 1997.

Interest and other income increased by $450,000 to $603,000 in the 13 weeks
ended May 2, 1998 when compared to the 13 weeks ended May 3, 1997.  The
increase was primarily due to interest received from Dart on outstanding loan
balances (see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
         and Results of Operations, Continued


Cost of sales, store occupancy and warehousing expenses as a percentage of
sales were 79.2% in the 13 weeks ended May 3, 1998 compared to 76.3% in the 13
weeks end May 3, 1997.  The increase was primarily due to a decrease in gross
profit as a result of an unfavorable change in the sales mix and increased
promotional items and to higher occupancy and merchandising costs as a
percentage of sales.

Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were 28.2% in the
13 weeks ended May 2, 1998 compared to 21.4% in the 13 weeks ended May 3, 1997.
The increase was primarily due to increased advertising costs and a $2.0        
million provision for non-recurring contingencies.  In addition, corporate
expenses increased as a percentage of sales.  Corporate expenses remained the
same as the prior year while sales decreased as a result of the sale and
closure of the California and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania operations,
respectively.

Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased $1,038,000, or 50.4%, in the
13 weeks ended May 2, 1998 compared to the 13 weeks ended May 3, 1997.  The
decrease was due to the reduction in fixed assets as a result of the sale of
the California operations and closing the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania stores.

Interest expense increased $13,000, or 1.4%, in the 13 weeks ended May 2, 1998
compared to the 13 weeks ended May 3, 1997.

During the 13 weeks ended May 2, 1998, the Company reversed approximately
$990,000 of its closed store reserve as a result of negotiating favorable
terminations for lease obligation for stores closed in the Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania market.

The net loss of $2,774,000 in the 13 weeks ended May 2, 1998 compared to the
net loss of $698,000 in the 13 weeks ended May 3, 1997 was primarily due to the
decrease in gross profit and increase in selling and administrative expenses as
a percentage of sales and was partially offset by the closed store reversal.

During the 13 weeks ended May 2, 1998, the Company recorded an income tax
benefit of $1,561,000.  The Company generated a net operating loss of
$3,551,000, of which $1,063,000 can be carried back to prior tax years and
$2,488,000 can be carried forward.  The net operating loss carryforward will
expire in fiscal year 2004.

Year 2000 Compliance

Trak Auto is currently in the process of conducting a review of the impact of
the Year 2000 on its information systems, as well as reviewing its impact on
relationships with key customers and vendors.  Based on the results to date of
this review, much of the Company's store hardware and software will have to be
replaced in order to be Year 2000 compliant.  Additionally, the Company's
warehouse distribution and merchandising system is not Year 2000 compliant and
could potentially begin to affect operations as early as fiscal 1999. The 
Company is considering a plan to ensure minimal disruption to the Company,
