        UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
    The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial 
statements (the "Pro Forma Financial Statements") are based on historical 
financial statements of QFC, Hughes Markets, Inc. ("Hughes"), and Keith 
Uddenberg, Inc. ("KUI") and have been prepared to illustrate the effects of 
the Acquisitions (as defined herein) and other related transactions described 
below and the assumed financing therefor.
 
    The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of earnings for 
the year ended December 30, 1995 gives effect to each of the following 
transactions as if such transactions had been completed as of January 1, 
1995: (i) the proposed acquisition of Hughes (the "Hughes Acquisition") and 
certain related transactions; (ii) Hughes' sale to Stater Bros. Markets 
("Stater") in November 1996 of a 1% equity interest in Santee Dairies, Inc. 
("Santee"), which, prior to that sale, was a 51%-owned subsidiary of Hughes, 
resulting in Santee ceasing to be a consolidated subsidiary of Hughes; (iii) 
KUI's spin off of certain assets and liabilities, primarily related to 
non-grocery operations, prior to the recent acquisition of KUI (the "KUI 
Acquisition") (iv) the KUI Acquisition and certain related transactions; (v) 
the application of the estimated net proceeds from the sale by QFC of 
4,500,000 shares of its Common Stock (the "Common Stock Offering") and the 
private placement of certain debt securities (the "Notes Offering"; and 
collectively with the Common Stock Offering, the "Offerings") and 
borrowings under an amended and restated $250 million term loan facility and 
an amended and restated $125 million revolving credit facility (together the 
"New Credit Facility") to finance the Hughes Acquisition and to refinance 
bank debt of QFC expected to be outstanding at the time of the closing of the 
Offerings (the "Closing") (including indebtedness which was incurred in 
connection with the KUI Acquisition); and (vi) QFC's proposed divestiture of 
five recently acquired KUI stores. The unaudited pro forma condensed 
consolidated statement of earnings for the 36 weeks ended September 7, 1996 
gives effect to the transactions described above as if such transactions had 
been completed as of December 31, 1995. The unaudited pro forma condensed 
consolidated statement of earnings for the 52 weeks ended September 7, 1996 
gives effect to the transactions described above as if such transactions had 
been completed as of September 10, 1995. The unaudited pro forma condensed 
consolidated balance sheet as of September 7, 1996 gives effect to the 
transactions described above as if such transactions had been completed as of 
that date. The effect of the proposed divestiture of five recently acquired 
KUI stores is reflected in the pro forma balance sheet as assets held for 
sale.
 
    The Hughes Acquisition and KUI Acquisition will be accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting. The total purchase price of each of the
Acquisitions will be allocated to the tangible and intangible assets and
liabilities acquired based upon their respective fair values. The allocation of
each of the aggregate purchase prices reflected in the Pro Forma Financial
Statements is preliminary and is subject to adjustment, upon the receipt of,
among other things, certain appraisals of the acquired assets and liabilities.
 
    The Pro Forma Financial Statements do not purport to present the actual
financial position or results of operations that would have occurred had the
transactions and events reflected therein in fact occurred on the dates
specified, nor do they purport to be indicative of the results of operations or
financial condition that may be achieved in the future. The Company anticipates
that the Acquisitions will result in certain synergies and economies of scale
resulting from, among other things, reduction in administrative costs and
enhanced buying power. However, none of these anticipated benefits is reflected
in the Pro Forma Financial Statements and there can be no assurance that they
will be realized. The Pro Forma Financial Statements are based on certain
assumptions and adjustments described in the notes hereto and should be read in
conjunction therewith. 
 
                       
<PAGE>
    In addition, the pro forma condensed consolidated statements of earnings
reflect QFC's proposed divestiture of five of the stores recently acquired in
the KUI Acquisition. QFC believes, based upon past experience in selling stores,
that it will be able to dispose of these stores, although it has not entered
into any definitive agreements for that purpose. Accordingly, there can be no
assurance as to the actual sales proceeds which may be received by the Company
therefor or when those stores may be sold. In addition, QFC anticipates that it
will make capital expenditures of approximately $22 million through 1998 in
order to convert certain KUI stores, expected to be retained following the KUI
Acquisition, to the QFC format; such capital expenditures are not reflected in
the Pro Forma Financial Statements.
 
    The Pro Forma Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with 
QFC's "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
Results of Operations" and the historical financial statements and notes 
thereto of QFC incorporated by reference in QFC's Annual Report on Form 10-K 
for the year ended December 30, 1995 and included in its Quarterly Reports on 
Form 10-Q for the 12 weeks ended March 23, 1996, the 12 weeks ended June 15, 
1996 and the 12 weeks ended September 7, 1996, the historical consolidated 
financial statements and notes thereto of Hughes included herein, and the 
historical financial statements and notes thereto of KUI included herein.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of earnings for
        the 52 weeks ended September 7, 1996 represents a 52-week period ended
        September 7, 1996, September 29, 1996, and September 28, 1996 for QFC,
        Hughes and KUI, respectively.
 
    (b) Gives effect to the sale by Hughes to Stater of a 1% equity interest in
        Santee, resulting in (i) Hughes (which previously owned 51% of Santee)
        and Stater (which previously owned 49% of Santee) each becoming 50%
        owners of Santee and (ii) Santee ceasing to be a consolidated subsidiary
        of Hughes and being reflected in the accompanying Pro Forma Financial
        Statements using the equity method of accounting.
 
    (c) Gives effect to the elimination of certain assets and liabilities of
        KUI, primarily related to non-grocery operations, and the elimination of
        sales and certain expenses attributable to those assets and liabilities,
        which were spun off by KUI prior to its acquisition by QFC.
 
    (d) Gives effect to (i) the consummation of the Hughes Acquisition at an
        assumed purchase price of $358.8 million equity value ($360.0 million
        less $956,701 of shareholder loans and $209,670 preferred stock
        redemption) (the "Hughes purchase price") and the allocation of the
        purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities including the
        elimination of Hughes' shareholders equity in the amount of $160.8
        million; and (ii) the consummation of the KUI Acquisition at a purchase
        price of $95.6 million ($35.3 million paid in cash, $36.0 million paid
        through the issuance of 904,646 shares of QFC Common Stock, and the
        remaining $24.3 million paid through assumption of KUI indebtedness) 
        (the "KUI purchase price") and the allocation of the purchase price to
        the acquired assets and liabilities, including the elimination of KUI's
        shareholders equity in the amount of $5.0 million. The Hughes purchase
        price is subject to certain adjustments, and the actual purchase price
        may differ from such assumed purchase price, which would affect the
        amount of financing required for the Hughes Acquisition.
 
        Also gives effect to the financing of these Acquisitions (as shown in
        the tables below) through the assumed receipt of (i) $167.2 million of
        estimated total net proceeds from the Common Stock Offering; (ii) $59.6
        million of borrowings under QFC's existing credit facility (the 
        "Current Credit Facility") to finance the $35.3 million cash portion of
        the KUI purchase price and to repay the $24.3 million in debt assumed
        in the KUI Acquisition; (iii) $247.9 million estimated total net 
        proceeds under the assumed terms of the New Credit Facility; and 
        (iv) $145.9 million estimated total net proceeds from the Notes 
        Offering. Related deferred financing and other fees are estimated to be
        $6.2 million ($2.1 million under the New Credit Facility and $4.1 
        million under the Notes Offering). These fees will be
 

<PAGE>
        amortized based on the life of the related debt. 
 
        Using the net proceeds from the above described borrowings, management
        intends to repay borrowings of $209.6 million, which it is anticipated
        will be outstanding under the Current Credit Facility at Closing, as
        reflected in the tables below.

                                                                     ---------

                                                                    $ 136,625
                                                                    ---------
                                                                    ---------
 
    (l) Gives effect to the estimated write-up to estimated fair value of KUI's
        investment in Associated Grocers as of the date of the KUI Acquisition,
        in the amount of $5.9 million.

        The estimated value of such assets is $9.6 million and has been 
        reflected in the pro forma balance sheet as assets held for sale. The
        pro forma statements of earnings give effect to the proposed 
        divestiture of these five stores as if it had occurred at the beginning
        of the periods presented, and reflect the elimination of these stores
        from results of operations for those periods. QFC has not entered into 
        any agreements to sell any of these stores, and the actual proceeds 
        from the divestiture of these stores will likely differ from the 
        assumed amount reflected herein.
 
    (n) Gives effect to $2.5 million accrual of Hughes' 50% share of the
        discounted present value of management's estimated exit costs expected

        such time as the new dairy is operational.
 
    (o) Gives effect to the additional depreciation and amortization expense
        resulting from the allocations of the purchase price for KUI and the
        estimated purchase price of Hughes to the assets acquired, including an
        increase in property, plant, and equipment, leasehold interest, and
 

<PAGE>
        identifiable intangible assets to their estimated fair market values and
        the recording of goodwill associated with the acquisitions. Goodwill is
        amortized over 40 years.
 
    (p) Reflects the adjustment to interest expense arising from (i) the
        estimated borrowings described in note (d) above, assuming a weighted
        average rate of approximately 7.21% per annum for borrowings under the
        New Credit Facility and the Notes Offering, (ii) the corresponding
        adjustments to the amortization of related deferred financing fees and
        other fees, and (iii) the reduction in historic interest expense of QFC
        and KUI, resulting from the refinancing of outstanding debt. 
 
    (q) Gives effect to the adjustment for federal and state income taxes at a
        blended statutory rate of 38%, adjusted for non-deductible depreciation
        and amortization, estimated to be approximately $7.3 million for the 
        year ended December 30, 1995, $5.5 million for the 36 weeks ended 
        September 7, 1996 and $7.3 million for the 52 weeks ended 
        September 7, 1996 and the impact of including QFC's historical operating
        results within a unitary tax filing in the state of California.
 
    (r) No effect has been given to eliminate the $1.4 million non-recurring
        charge, which was incurred in connection with QFC's recapitalization 
        during the first quarter of 1995.
 
    (s) Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of
        Common Stock outstanding during the period after consideration of the
        dilutive effect, if any, of stock options granted. Pro forma (as
        adjusted) earnings per share gives effect to the adjustments described
        in footnotes (b) through (q) above.
