REQUIRED INFORMATION
OVERVIEW
This report relates to the Quality Food Centers, Inc. 1990 Employee Stock
Purchase Plan (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, eligible employees authorize
Quality Food Centers, Inc. (the "Company") to deduct from their wages during
each pay period not less than $5.00 nor more than 10% of their base pay for the
purchase of shares of the Company's common stock. Under the terms of the Plan,
deductions currently accumulate over a period beginning April 1 (the "Offering
Date") and ending March 31 (the "Plan Year").
Once each year, on the Offering Date, the Company grants to each participant an
option to purchase on the last day of the Plan Year at a price determined as
described below (the "Option Price") the number of full shares of common stock
of the Company which his or her accumulated payroll deductions on the last day
of such Plan Year will purchase at the Option Price. The Option Price for each
Plan Year is the lesser of (i) 85% of the fair market value of the Company's
common stock on the Offering Date or (ii) 85% of the market value of the
Company's common stock on the last day of the Plan Year. Shares purchased under
the Plan are newly issued shares of the Company and are distributed to the
participants as soon as practicable following the end of the Plan Year.
ADMINISTRATION
Employee contributions which remain in the fund at the end of each Plan Year
("Remaining Contributions") are the result of fractional shares which are not
issuable under the Plan. Remaining Contributions are returned, without
interest, to employee participants promptly following the end of each Plan Year
or, at the employee's direction, are rolled over as a contribution into the
subsequent Plan Year. An employee may withdraw from an offering at any time.
Upon withdrawal, the amount remaining in the employee's account will promptly be
refunded without interest.
Accumulated payroll deductions for employee participants are maintained by
Seattle-First National Bank, as custodian (the "Custodian"). Interest earned is
used to pay the Custodian's and Transfer Agent's fees and expenses. Any
remaining interest becomes the property of the Company and is made available for
general corporate purposes, including the costs of administering the Plan.
During the Plan Year ended March 31, 1995, interest earned totaled $23,857.
Fees and expenses of the Custodian and Transfer Agent were $8,483. The net
amount earned by the Company was $15,374 before deducting administrative costs.
The Company received no other compensation from administering the Plan.
The following sets forth certain information concerning the Plan for the Plan
Year ended March 31, 1995:
Approximate number of employees eligible to participate: 2,874
Number of employees purchasing shares at the end of the Plan Year: 956
Number of shares purchased: 84,283
Purchase price: $17.00
Number of employees who withdrew from the Plan: 247
Amounts returned to employees who withdrew from the Plan: $179,009.73
Remaining Contributions to be returned to employees: $15,804.73
Remaining Contributions to be rolled over into subsequent Plan Year
at the request of the participants: $7,878.28
Number of shares available for purchase in subsequent offerings: 140,165

Due to the nature of the Plan whereby the Company earns the interest on the cash
balance during the Plan Year and pays the Custodian's fee at the end of the Plan
Year, the Plan has no income or equity. The only asset held by the Plan at the
end of the Plan Year is $23,683.01 in Remaining Contributions, with an
offsetting liability for the same amount. Remaining Contributions of $15,804.73
were refunded to employees on April 28, 1995 and $7,878.28 were rolled over for
the subsequent Plan Year. Therefore, the financial statements described in
Article 6A of Regulation S-X are not set forth because they would not provide
any additional information not included in this Form 11-K. For further
information about the Company, Plan participants should review the Company's
annual and quarterly financial statements.
