                    RICHFOOD HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             (Amounts in thousands)

Note 1.  The consolidated financial statements of Richfood Holdings, Inc. and
         subsidiaries (the "Company") presented herein are unaudited (except for
         the consolidated balance sheet as of April 27, 1996, which has been
         derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date)
         and have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and
         regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The accounting
         policies and principles used to prepare these interim consolidated
         financial statements are consistent in all material respects with those
         reflected in the consolidated financial statements included in the
         Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 27, 1996
         ("fiscal 1996").  In the opinion of management, such consolidated
         financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal
         recurring adjustments and the use of estimates, necessary to summarize
         fairly the Company's financial position and results of operations.
         Certain information and note disclosures normally included in
         consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
         accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules
         and regulations.  These consolidated financial statements should be
         read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
         notes thereto of Richfood Holdings, Inc., and subsidiaries included in
         its Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 1996. The results of
         operations for the twelve week period ended July 20, 1996, may not be
         indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year
         ending May 3, 1997 ("fiscal 1997").

Note 2.  Effective  October 15, 1995,  Super Rite  Corporation  ("Super Rite"),
         a full service wholesale and retail grocery distributor  headquartered
         in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, became a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of
         Richfood Holdings,  Inc.  (the  "Super  Rite Acquisition").   The
         Super   Rite Acquisition   has  been   accounted   for  as  a
         pooling-of-interests, which  requires  that the  historical
         consolidated  financial statements  of the Company  and Super Rite as
         of and for the  periods ended prior to the effective time of the Super
         Rite  Acquisition  be combined as if the  transaction had occurred as
         of the beginning of the earliest  period  presented.  The  historical
         consolidated  financial statements  presented herein for the twelve
         weeks ended July 22,  1995, included  thirteen  weeks  of Super  Rite's
         financial  information. The Company has  conformed  certain of Super
         Rite's  accounting practices and methods to its own in  conjunction
         with the  restatement of the prior  historical  consolidated financial
         statements in accordance with the pooling-of-interests method.

         Super Rite previously used the fiscal year ending on the Saturday
         closest to February 29th or March 1st for its financial reporting
         purposes. In order to conform to the Company's fiscal year, Super
         Rite's net earnings of $2,548, on sales of $228,113, for the eight week
         period from March 5, 1995, to April 29, 1995, have been reflected as a
         direct adjustment to retained earnings.

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

Results of Operations

        Sales of $753.4 million for the twelve week period ended July 20, 1996,
consisted of $722.1 million of wholesale grocery sales and $77.0 million of
retail grocery sales. Wholesale grocery sales included $45.7 million of
intersegment sales to the Company's retail grocery division. Wholesale grocery
sales of $722.1 million decreased $4.5 million, or 0.6%, as compared to sales of
$726.6 million for the same period last fiscal year. The Company's results of
operations for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 included thirteen weeks of
operations for Super Rite, compared to twelve weeks in the first quarter of
fiscal 1997. Excluding the additional week in the fiscal 1996 first quarter for
Super Rite, wholesale grocery sales would have increased $21.0 million, or 3.0%.
This increase was primarily attributable to sales to customers who expanded
their retail operations and increased sales to existing customers. Retail
grocery sales of $77.0 million decreased $1.6 million, or 2.0%, compared to
sales of $78.6 million for the same period last fiscal year. Sales for the
METRO/BASICS Retail Division were flat on a comparable store basis for the first
quarter of fiscal 1997, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1996, and
excluding the effect of the additional week in the fiscal 1996 first quarter for
Super Rite, increased 6.0% on a total store basis. This increase was primarily
attributable to increased sales from two new BASICS stores purchased in January
1996 and one new METRO store opened in April 1996.

        Gross margin was 10.34% of sales for the twelve week period ended July
20, 1996, compared to 10.04% of sales for the same period last fiscal year. The
increase in gross margin was primarily attributable to increased gross margins
in the Company's retail operations, resulting from an emphasis on sales of goods
in categories with higher margins such as meat, perishables and private label
items.

        Operating and administrative expenses for the twelve week period ended
July 20, 1996, were $56.2 million, or 7.45% of sales, compared to $56.7 million,
or 7.40% of sales, for the same period last fiscal year.

        Interest expense for the twelve week period ended July 20, 1996, was
$1.7 million, compared to $3.8 million for the same period last fiscal year. The
decrease is primarily due to the Company's ability to generate cash flow from
operations, some of which was used: to reduce average borrowings under revolving
credit facilities; for the early extinguishment of $27.5 million of Super Rite
Senior Notes during the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 1996; for the
repayment of borrowings under a $25.0 million Super Rite term loan facility in
the third quarter of fiscal 1996; and for the payment in July 1996, of $9.0
million on the Company's $45.0 million 6.15% Senior Notes.

        The Company's effective income tax rate was 40.2% and 41.1% for the
twelve week periods ended July 20, 1996, and July 22, 1995, respectively. The
lower effective tax rate for the twelve week period ended July 20, 1996, is
attributable to certain state tax planning initiatives.

        Net earnings for the twelve week period ended July 20, 1996, were $12.4
million, or $0.40 per share, a 22.4% increase over net earnings of $10.2
million, or $0.33 per share for the same period last fiscal year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Cash and cash  equivalents  were $22.2  million at July 20,  1996,
compared  to $17.4 million at April 27, 1996.

        Net cash provided by operating activities for the twelve week period
ended July 20, 1996 was $25.0 million. This amount primarily included net
earnings of $12.4 million and depreciation and amortization of $6.7 million.

        Working capital increased from $40.8 million at April 27, 1996 to $44.2
million at July 20, 1996. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was
1.17 at July 20, 1996, compared to 1.16 at April 27, 1996.

        Net cash used for investing activities of $10.5 million for the twelve
week period ended July 20, 1996 included $3.7 million of capital expenditures.
Capital expenditures included capital employed for the construction of a new
METRO store, the conversion of an existing BASICS store to the METRO format and
improvements to the fluid dairy and warehouse distribution centers.

        The Company remains committed to providing secured financing to retail
customers. Loans issued to retailers were $6.5 million for the twelve week
period ended July 20, 1996, and were offset by $2.1 million of repayments by
retailers.

        Net cash used for financing activities of $9.7 million for the twelve
week period ended July 20, 1996, consisted primarily of $9.5 million of net
repayments on long-term debt and capital lease obligations. The $9.5 million of
net repayments primarily related to the initial principal payment of $9.0
million, in July 1996, on the Company's $45.0 million 6.15% Senior Notes. Net
repayments on long-term debt of $20.3 million for the twelve week period ended
July 22, 1995, primarily consisted of $18.0 million of net repayments on a
revolving credit facility and $1.5 million of repayments on a term loan
facility.

        The Company's long-term debt, including capital leases and current
maturities, was $88.2 million at July 20, 1996, compared to $97.7 million at
April 27, 1996. The ratio of long-term debt, including capital leases and
current maturities, to equity was 0.42 to 1 at July 20, 1996, and 0.49 to 1 at
April 27, 1996.

        The Company believes that it has the ability to continue to generate
adequate funds from its operations and through borrowings under its long-term
debt facilities to maintain its competitive position and expand its business.
