June 12, 1996

To the Participants and Administrator
of The Penn Traffic Company
401(k) Savings Plan

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets available for plan
benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for plan
benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for
plan benefits of The Penn Traffic Company 401(k) Savings Plan (the Plan) at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in net assets available for plan
benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Plan's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial
statements taken as a whole. The additional information included in Schedules I
and II is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required
part of the basic financial statements but is additional information required by
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Such information has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial
statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

The Penn Traffic Company
401(k) Savings Plan

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1995 and 1994
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   Description of the Plan

     General

     The following brief description of the Penn Traffic Company 401(k) Savings
     Plan (the "Plan") sponsored by The Penn Traffic Company (the "Company") is
     provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer
     to the Plan agreement for more complete information.

     The Plan is a defined contribution plan established by the Company on July
     9, 1987. The Plan is designed to provide benefits to all Company employees
     who have attained age twenty-one and have completed at least one year of
     service. As part of the Plan, the Company has entered into a trust
     agreement with the US Bancorp Trust Company in Johnstown, Pennsylvania (the
     "Bank"), under which the Bank, as trustee, transfers contributions to a
     separate trust fund in the Bank's trust department. The assets of the Plan
     are held by the Bank's trust department in a fiduciary capacity and as such
     are not assets of the Bank. The Plan's trust fund is administered by the
     Administrative Committee of the Plan which has retained Coopers & Lybrand
     LLP in the capacity of recordkeeper of the Plan.

     Contributions

     Employees in the Plan ("participants") may contribute from 1% to 15% of
     gross compensation as specified in writing and may elect to change such
     once per plan quarter.

     Investments

     Participants have five options to which they can direct their
     contributions. These options are a stable income fund, two diversified
     equity funds, one balanced fund and one Company stock fund. The stable
     income fund consists of a mix of guaranteed investment contracts and three
     actively managed mutual funds. One of the diversified equity funds, the MAS
     Equity Fund, invests primarily in large blue chip companies with solid
     financial characteristics and above-average dividend yields. The other
     diversified equity fund, the Acorn Fund, is aggressively managed with a
     higher degree of risk. The balanced fund, the Delaware Fund, invests in
     stocks, bonds and money market instruments. The Penn Traffic Common Stock
     Fund allows employees the opportunity to purchase Company stock with
     pre-tax dollars. A life insurance plan which allowed employees to elect to
     purchase life insurance for themselves and their spouses and children is
     still effective for those employees purchasing such insurance before
     January 1, 1989 (Note 3).

     Loans

     Participants may obtain loans of not less that $500 but not more than the
     lesser of $50,000 or 50% of the participant's individual investment account
     balance. Generally, the term of the loans may not exceed five years.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Distributions

     Each participant is entitled to a retirement benefit equal to 100% of the
     participant's accrued benefit as of the valuation date. In the event of the
     death of a participant before actual retirement, 100% of the participant's
     accrued benefit on the valuation date following his/her death will
     constitute his/her death benefit and will be distributed to the
     participant's designated beneficiary or beneficiaries. If a participant
     terminates employment, he/she will receive 100% of his/her accrued benefit
     on the valuation date following his/her separation. A participant attaining
     the age of 59 1/2 has the right to withdraw all or a portion of his/her
     Plan assets. An in-service distribution to a participant will only occur if
     the participant can prove financial hardship to a committee formed by the
     Company.

     Income

     Net investment fund income is allocated quarterly to each participant's
     investment account in the ratio of their individual investment account to
     the investment fund in total.

     Restatement of the Plan agreement

     Effective December 21, 1994, the Plan agreement was restated to reflect all
     prior amendments into the Plan agreement. A favorable Internal Revenue
     Service determination letter for the restated Plan was received August 14,
     1995 (Note 8).

     Use of estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles requires the Administrative Committee of the
     Plan to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
     net assets at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
     of additions to and deductions from net assets during the reporting period.
     Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2.   Basis of Accounting

     The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis of
     accounting. Interest and dividend income is recognized as earned and
     expenses are recognized when the related obligation is incurred.
     Investments, excluding guaranteed investment contracts, are recorded at the
     closing market prices on December 31, 1995 and 1994. Guaranteed investment
     contracts are stated at contract value.

3.   Insurance Plan

     Participants of the Plan are permitted to have a portion of their
     contributions directed towards the purchase of individual life insurance
     contracts for themselves, their spouse and their children, for those
     employees electing this option before January 1, 1989. As a result of these
     elections, the Plan disburses funds periodically to the First Colony Life
     Insurance Company for the payment of life insurance premiums. These
     insurance contracts are allocated on an individual participant basis and,
     as such, are excluded from Plan assets.

4.   Investments

     Investments which exceed 5% of the Plan's net assets at December 31, 1995
     include:

                                                                 Market/Contract

     Under certain premature withdrawal situations specified in the various
     contracts, the issuer of the contract may elect to limit its guarantee and
     distribute funds at either contract value or fair market value, whichever
     is lower. These situations include premature withdrawals related to:
     cancellation of the contract by the Plan prior to maturity, plant closings,
     layoffs, Plan termination, sponsor bankruptcy and certain early retirement
     incentives.

6.   Benefit Distributions Payable

     At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the amount allocated to participant accounts
     who have elected to withdraw from the Plan but have not yet been paid was
     $1,190,000 and $609,000, respectively.

7.   Administrative Costs

     Expenses incurred by the Bank in connection with investment transactions
     and payments to participants are paid by the Plan. Professional, Bank and
     administrative fees and other expenses of the Plan are paid by the Company.
     Personnel and facilities of the Company are used by the Plan for its
     accounting and other activities at no charge to the Plan.

8.   Tax Status

     The Company received a favorable Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
     determination letter dated August 14, 1995 stating the Plan meets the
     requirements of Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the IRS code and that the
     Plan is exempt from taxation under Section 501(a) of the IRS code.

     Under present federal income tax laws, a participant will not be subject to
     federal income taxes on the contributions by the participant or on interest
     or profits on the sale of securities held by the Plan until the
     participant's assets are distributed.

9.   Plan Termination

     The Company expressly reserves the right to terminate the Plan. In the
     event of termination, all Plan objectives will be satisfied. All
     unallocated assets will then be allocated to the accrued benefits of the
     participants' accounts at the date of termination at which time the
     participants are fully vested.
