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 Super Rite Foods, Inc. Employee Investment Opportunity 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 Super Rite
Foods, Inc. Employee Investment Opportunity 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 Super Rite Foods,
Inc. Employee Investment Opportunity 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.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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.
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),
parent company of Super Rite Foods, Inc. and its subsidiaries. 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 non-union employees of Super
Rite Foods, Inc. and its subsidiaries, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Richfood
Holdings, Inc., who are not eligible for participation in the Richfood Holdings,
Inc. Savings and Stock Ownership Plan, who have attained age 21 and have
completed six months of service.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT PROVISIONS OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)
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 35% of the
participant's pre-tax contributions of up to 6% of compensation. In addition,
the Employer may make discretionary contributions 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 $289,253 and $280,998 for the years ended December
31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The Employer did not make any discretionary
contributions during 1998 or 1997.
INVESTMENT OPTIONS
The Plan has entered into an administrative agreement with Prudential
Investments Retirement Services providing for the management, investment, and
reinvestment of Plan assets. The Plan provides for nine separate investment
options which are described as follows:
Prudential MoneyMart Assets - invests primarily in high quality money
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 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.
Prudential Jennison Growth Fund - consists of investments in equity
securities of established companies with above-average growth prospects.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT PROVISIONS OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)
Prudential International Stock Fund - invests primarily in equity
securities of foreign companies.
Prudential Guaranteed interest contract - invests primarily in fixed income
securities having short to intermediate maturities.
Richfood Stock Fund - consists of investments in common stock of Richfood
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.
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 pretax 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.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT PROVISIONS OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)
INCOME TAXES
The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Plan Administrator
by a letter dated August 15, 1995, 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.
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 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.
