                                    (Unaudited)


          (A)   Basis of Presentation
                _____________________

                The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
          statements include the results of operations, account balances
          and cash flows of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary.
          All material intercompany balances have been eliminated.

                In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
          consolidated financial statements include all adjustments
          necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the
          results of operations of the Company for the periods presented.
          The statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the
          rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
          Certain information and footnote disclosures included in annual
          financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
          accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
          pursuant to such rules and regulations.  It is suggested that
          these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction
          with the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying
          notes included in the Company's 1994 Annual Report.

                The balance sheet at July 2, 1994 has been taken from the
          audited financial statements at that date.

          (B)   Restructuring Plan
                __________________

                Effective for the third quarter ending April 1, 1995, the
          Company will implement a new business plan titled "Delchamps
          Strategy 2000."  This business plan includes recording a pre-tax
          restructuring charge in the amount of $15.0 million in the 
          Company's third quarter.  The restructuring charge relates 
          primarily to four stores scheduled to be closed and ten existing
          closed stores and includes costs for the write-down for store
          assets, the unrealizable portion of the present value of
          remaining rent payments, and other costs associated with store
          closings such as costs to store and transfer reusable equipment.

                   Management's Discussion And Analysis Of Results
                        Of Operations And Financial Condition


          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

          Sales:
          _____

                Sales decreased 5.12% for the thirteen-week period and
          2.66% for the twenty-six week period, compared with corresponding
          periods last year.  Sales for stores open during the current and
          prior year periods decreased 7.84% for the thirteen-week period
          and 5.49% for the twenty-six week period.  The decrease in sales
          was because of heavy competitive activity which included
          competitors opening new supermarkets and expanding existing
          supermarkets.

                At December 31, 1994, the Company operated 122 supermarkets
          and twelve liquor stores compared with 119 supermarkets and
          eleven liquor stores at January 1, 1994.  During the thirteen-
          week period, the Company purchased seven supermarkets from The
          Kroger Co., opened one supermarket, closed four supermarkets,
          sold two supermarkets to The Kroger Co., and remodeled and
          expanded one supermarket.

          Gross Profit:
          ____________

                Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased from 24.54%
          to 24.92% for the thirteen-week period and decreased from 25.16%
          to 24.82% for the twenty-six week period.  The increase in the
          thirteen-week period was the result of an increase in the market
          department gross profit percentage due to greater retail price
          reductions during last year's holiday seasons.  The decrease in
          the twenty-six week period was the result of an increase in
          inventory shrinkage, primarily in the perishable inventory
          departments, resulting from increased promotional activity.

          Selling, General and Administration Expenses:
          ____________________________________________

                Selling, general and administrative expenses as a
          percentage of sales increased from 22.79% to 24.35% for the
          thirteen-week period and increased from 23.14% to 23.90% for the
          twenty-six week period.  The increases for both periods were the
          result of lower sales in the current periods as noted above.
          Selling, general and administrative expense dollars increased
          slightly, even though the Company operated additional new
          supermarkets and additional service departments from expanded
          supermarkets in the current periods.  The Company has continued
          to realize savings in selling, general and administrative expense
          dollars as a result of an ongoing cost control program.

          Other Expense:
          _____________

                Other expense increased $266,000 and $337,000 for the
          thirteen and twenty-six week periods, respectively.  The
          increases resulted from increased interest expense which was
          higher in the current year because of higher interest rates and
          increased levels of short-term indebtedness.

          Income Taxes:
          ____________

                The effective rate for income taxes decreased from 34.75%
          to 16.83% for the thirteen-week period and decreased from 35.90%
          to 32.41% for the twenty-six week period.  The effective rates
          decreased for both periods because of lower pretax earnings
          combined with greater levels of targeted jobs tax credits.  The
          effective rates were below the statutory rate because of targeted
          jobs tax credits.

                        of Operations And Financial Condition


          LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

                The Company leases its store locations, but makes
          substantial expenditures to equip new and expanded supermarkets.
          In addition, the Company makes substantial expenditures for
          distribution facilities and equipment.  The Company plans to
          finance its capital expenditures with funds provided by
          operations.  However, if an insufficient amount of funds are
          generated, the Company may draw on short-term credit lines.  The
          Company has $85.0 million in credit lines from financial
          institutions of which $59.0 million is available for future use.
          These credit lines expire at various times throughout fiscal
          years 1995 and 1996, though the Company expects most to be
          renewed.

                Working capital decreased form $54,926,000 at July 2, 1994
          to $40,235,000 as of December 31, 1994.  Additions to property
          and equipment were $23,068,000 during the same period and
          consisted primarily of purchases of store equipment.
