                         Report of Independent Auditors

The Board of Directors
Richfood Holdings, Inc.

We have  audited  the  accompanying  statements  of  assets  available  for plan
benefits of the Richfood  Holdings,  Inc.  Savings and Stock Ownership Plan (the
Plan) as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related statements of changes in
assets  available  for plan benefits for the years then ended.  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  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards 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.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material  respects,  the assets  available for plan benefits of the Richfood
Holdings,  Inc.  Savings and Stock Ownership Plan at December 31, 1998 and 1997,
and the changes in assets  available for plan benefits for the years then ended,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits  were  performed  for the  purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying  supplemental  schedules
of assets held for  investment  purposes as of December 31, 1998, and reportable
transactions  for the year then ended,  are  presented for purposes of complying
with  the  Department  of  Labor's  Rules  and  Regulations  for  Reporting  and
Disclosure  under the Employee  Retirement  Income Security Act of 1974, and are
not a  required  part  of  the  basic  financial  statements.  The  supplemental
schedules have been subjected to the auditing  procedures  applied in our audits
of the basic financial  statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material  respects  in  relation to the basic  financial  statements  taken as a
whole.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following are the significant  accounting policies of the Richfood Holdings,
Inc. Savings and Stock Ownership Plan (the Plan).

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting.  Accordingly,  interest and dividend  income and  contributions  are
recognized as earned;  benefits paid to participants and administrative expenses
are recognized when incurred;  and net appreciation  (depreciation)  in the fair
value of investments is recognized as it occurs.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded as of the trade date. The cost of
investments sold is determined on the basis of average cost.

INVESTMENTS

Ownership of the various mutual funds held by Prudential  Investments Retirement
Services, the Plan's custodian,  is expressed in number of shares. Each share is
valued by the Plan's custodian based upon quoted market prices.

Investments in the guaranteed  interest  contract are valued at contract  value,
which approximates fair value.

The fair value of Richfood Holdings,  Inc. common stock (Richfood Stock Fund) is
based upon the price of the stock as of the end of the plan  year,  as quoted on
the New York Stock Exchange.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial  statements in accordance  with generally  accepted
accounting  principles  requires the Plan  Administrator  to make  estimates and
assumptions  that  affect  amounts  reported  in the  financial  statements  and
accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from these estimates.


                                                                               4

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT PROVISIONS OF THE PLAN

The following brief description of the Plan is provided for general  information
purposes only.  Participants should refer to the Plan Document for more complete
information.

GENERAL

The  Plan is a  defined  contribution  plan and is  subject  to  certain  of the
provisions of the Employee  Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).  The
Plan is administered by Richfood  Holdings,  Inc. (the Employer or the Company).
The Plan custodian is Prudential  Investments  Retirement Services. The trustees
of the Plan are officers of the Company.

ELIGIBILITY

Under  the  Plan,  participation  is  available  to all  employees  (other  than
temporary  or leased  employees  and certain  employees  covered by a collective
bargaining  agreement) of Richfood Holdings,  Inc. and its authorized affiliated
corporations  who were not eligible for  participation  in the Super Rite Foods,
Inc.  Employee  Investment  Opportunity  Plan, who have attained age 21 and have
completed six months of service.

CONTRIBUTIONS

Each employee  participating in the Plan may elect to make pre-tax contributions
of not less  than 1% nor more than 15% of his or her  compensation  for the Plan
year,  in 1%  increments.  Participant  contributions  during  any Plan year are
subject to Internal  Revenue Code  limitations.  This  limitation was $10,000 in
1998 and $9,500 in 1997.

The  Employer  makes  matching  contributions  in an amount  equal to 25% of the
participant's  pre-tax  contributions of up to 4% of compensation.  In addition,
the Employer may make a discretionary  matching  contribution or a discretionary
profit sharing contribution,  both to be determined by Richfood Holdings, Inc.'s
Board of Directors.  The Employer's contributions are made in shares of Richfood
Holdings,  Inc. common stock.  The Employer made matching  contributions  to the
Plan of $353,027 and  $340,947  for the years ended  December 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.  The Employer did not make any discretionary  contributions during
1998 or 1997.

                                                                               5

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT PROVISIONS OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)

INVESTMENT OPTIONS

The  Plan  has  entered  into  an   administrative   agreement  with  Prudential

reinvestment  of Plan assets.  The Plan  provides for nine  separate  investment

     market instruments maturing in thirteen months or less.

     Prudential  Government Income Fund - invests  primarily in U.S.  Government
     securities issued by the U.S. Treasury.

     Prudential  Balanced  Portfolio and the Prudential  Active  Balanced Fund -
     consist of a diversified  portfolio of equity securities,  debt obligations
     and money market instruments.

     Prudential  Stock  Index Fund - invests  in a broad mix of stocks  that are
     designed to duplicate the performance of the S&P 500.

     securities of established companies with above-average growth prospects.

     Holdings, Inc.

LOANS TO PARTICIPANTS

Under the terms of the Plan,  participants may elect to borrow 50%, subject to a
minimum of $1,000, of their vested account balances.  The terms of the loans are
set based on the nature of the borrowings. The Plan Administrator determines the
interest rates to be charged for participant  loans based on comparable  lending
rates used by third parties.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT PROVISIONS OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)

VESTING, DISTRIBUTIONS AND WITHDRAWALS, AND PLAN TERMINATION

Participants  are at all  times  fully  vested in their  tax-deferred  (pre-tax)
contributions  and such  amounts  are  never  subject  to  forfeiture;  however,
tax-deferred contributions may not be withdrawn except in the event of hardship,
death, disability, retirement or termination of employment.

Employer  contributions are fully vested with participants  after three years of
service,  but may not be  withdrawn  except  in the  event of  hardship,  death,
disability,  retirement or termination of employment. In the case of hardship, a
participant  may apply for a distribution  (in accordance with the provisions of
the Plan) of a portion of his or her  interest  in employer  contributions  only
after  amounts  in  the  employee's  pre-tax  contribution  accounts  have  been
withdrawn.

Distributions and withdrawals, pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, are based
on the fair value of the  participants'  accounts as of the effective  valuation
date.

Although it has not  expressed  any intent to do so, the  Employer has the right
under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the
Plan  subject  to the  provisions  of ERISA.  In the event of plan  termination,
participants are fully vested in their accounts, including that portion relating
to employer contributions. See Note 7 - Subsequent Event.

INCOME TAXES

The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Plan  Administrator
by a letter  dated  January  22, 1996 that the Plan is  qualified  and the trust
established  under the Plan is tax-exempt  under the applicable  sections of the
Internal  Revenue Code.  The Plan  Administrator  is not aware of any actions or
events in the operation of the Plan that would  jeopardize the Plan's  qualified
status.

3. INVESTMENTS

The Plan's investments are held by Prudential  Investments  Retirement Services,
the Plan's custodian. The fair value of each investment maintained by Prudential
Investments Retirement Services, including individual investments that represent
5% or more of assets  available for plan  benefits,  as of December 31, 1998 and
1997 is presented in Note 8.

                                                                               7

4. INVESTMENT TRANSFERS

Under the  provisions of the Plan, a participant  may elect to have the value of
his or her  participant  account  attributable  to a particular  investment fund
transferred to any of the other available  investment  funds upon request,  with
certain restrictions.

5. ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

In accordance with the Plan Document, administrative expenses are generally paid
by the Employer.

6. YEAR 2000 (UNAUDITED)

The Company has developed and is implementing a strategic, long-term information
technology plan to upgrade its core application systems, including those systems
that impact the processing of employee benefits. Concurrently, it has developed,
and is implementing, a plan to ensure that such systems are year 2000 compliant.
The Company  believes that with the currently  planned  system  conversions  and
upgrades, as well as certain additional  modifications to existing software, the
Company will achieve year 2000 compliance  without any  significant  operational
problems  related to the  Company's  information  systems.  The  Company is also
communicating with the Plan's  significant  service providers to coordinate year
2000  compliance.  The Plan's  service  providers  have  indicated that they are
presently  taking steps to ensure that the Plan's systems and operations will be
year 2000 compliant.

7. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On June 9, 1999, the Company announced that it had entered into an Agreement and
Plan of Merger  (the  "Agreement"),  dated as of June 9, 1999,  among  SUPERVALU
INC., a Delaware corporation ("SUPERVALU"), Winter Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware
corporation and wholly-owned  subsidiary of SUPERVALU  ("Acquisition"),  and the
Company.  Under the terms of the Agreement,  the Company will be merged with and
into  Acquisition  (the  "Merger")  with the  Acquisition  being  the  surviving
corporation.  The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and the approval
by the Company's  shareholders,  as well as other customary  conditions,  and is
expected to be  consummated  prior to the end of calendar  1999.  Following  the
consummation  of the Merger,  the Company will become an indirect,  wholly-owned
subsidiary of SUPERVALU.

                                                                               8
