                         (Unaudited)

1.   Basis   of   Preparation   of  Consolidated   Financial
     Statements.

     The   accompanying  unaudited  consolidated   financial
     statements   of   Homeland  Holding   Corporation   and
     Subsidiary  (the  "Company")  reflect  all  adjustments
     consisting  only  of  normal and recurring  adjustments
     which  are, in the opinion of management, necessary  to
     present fairly the consolidated financial position  and
     the  consolidated results of operations and cash  flows
     for    the    periods   presented.    These   unaudited
     consolidated  financial statements should  be  read  in
     conjunction with the consolidated financial  statements
     of  the Company for the period ended December 31,  1994
     and  the  notes thereto.  As a result of the amendments
     to the Senior Note Indenture, discussed in Part II-Item
     2 "Changes in Securities", as well as the redemption of
     a  portion  of the Senior Notes and the replacement  of
     the Revolving Credit Agreement, discussed in Item 2 MDA
     "Liquidity and Capital Resources", the Company incurred
     the  following extraordinary loss in the 12 weeks ended
     June 17, 1995:

          Consent fees equal to
            $5.00 for each $1,000

            $25.0 million of Senior
            Notes, due March 1997 and
            March 1999, and the replacement
            of the Revolving Credit
            Agreement                         1,424,000

          Extraordinary loss                 $2,330,000

2.   Accounting Policies.

     The  policies  of  the Company are  summarized  in  the
     consolidated  financial statements of the  Company  for
     the  52  weeks  ended December 31, 1994 and  the  notes
     thereto.
3.   Restructuring.

     In  accordance  with a strategic plan approved  by  the
     Board  of  Directors  in  December  1994,  the  Company
     entered  into  an  agreement with Associated  Wholesale
     Grocers, Inc. ("AWG") on February 6, 1995, pursuant  to
     which  the  Company  sold 29  of  its  stores  and  its
     warehouse  and distribution center to AWG on April  21,
     1995.  The net proceeds from such sale were applied  in
     the  manner  provided below in Part  II-Item  5  "Other
     Information".  In connection with this strategic  plan,
     the   Company  also  plans  to  close  fifteen   under-
     performing  stores  during 1995, seven  of  which  were
     closed during the 24 weeks ended June 17, 1995.  During
     the  24 weeks ended June 17, 1995, the Company incurred
     expenses  associated with the operational restructuring
     as follows:

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of  Financial
          Condition and Results of Operations ("MDA")


Results of Operations


           Comparison of Twelve and Twenty-Four Weeks  Ended
June  17, 1995 with Twelve and Twenty-Four Weeks Ended  June
18, 1994.

           Sales.   Net sales for the 12 weeks and 24  weeks
ended  June 17, 1995 decreased 19.4% and 11.5% respectively,
over  the  net sales of the corresponding periods  of  1994.
The  decrease in net sales was due primarily to the sale  of
29  stores  to  AWG on April 21, 1995 (see  Part  II-Item  5
"Other  Information") and the closing of seven stores,  five
in  the  first week of February 1995 and two in  the  fourth
week  of  March 1995.  These stores were closed pursuant  to
the  Company's plan to close certain underperforming stores.
The  decrease  in  net  sales  was  also  due  to  increased
competition  in  the  Company's market area  resulting  from
additional  store openings of Wal-Mart Stores,  Inc.  ("Wal-
Mart") supercenter stores and Albertson's Inc. stores during
1994.   There were 11 new Wal-Mart supercenter stores opened
in the Company's market area during 1994.

          Net sales for the 12 weeks ended June 17, 1995 for
the  Company's  comparable stores decreased  1.9%  over  the
corresponding  prior  period due primarily  to  competitors'
store openings in the Company's market area.

           Cost  and Expenses.  Gross profit as a percentage
of  sales for the 12 weeks ended June 17, 1995 decreased  to
24.8%  compared  to  26.6% for the corresponding  period  of
1994.   Gross  profit as a percentage of sales  for  the  24
weeks  ended  June 17, 1995 decreased to 24.3%  compared  to
26.0% for the corresponding period of 1994.  The decrease in
gross  margins  was  the  result  of  increased  promotional
pricing in an effort to grow market share and in response to
increased  competition.  In addition, the reduction  can  be
attributed in part to the sale of the Company's distribution
center to AWG, at which time the Company converted from self-
supply of product to procuring product from AWG (see Part II-
Item 5 "Other Information").  Further, pending the April 21,
1995  sale of the Company's warehouse and certain stores  to
AWG and the transition to being supplied by AWG, the Company
experienced a reduction of vendor allowances which adversely
affected gross profit.
          Selling and administrative expenses decreased $6.3
million for the 12 weeks ended June 17, 1995 compared to the
prior  period,  although  as  a  percentage  of  sales  they
increased to 24.5% from 23.2%.  For the 24 weeks ended  June
17,  1995, selling and administrative expenses declined $8.3
million  compared to the prior period while as a  percentage
of sales, they increased to 23.4% from 23.0%.  The decreases
in  expenses  for the 12 weeks and 24 weeks ended  June  17,
1995 were due to the sale of the Company's 29 stores to AWG,
the  closing of seven stores, as well as personnel and other
cost reductions at the corporate office.

           Operating  Income.  Operating income for  the  12
weeks ended June 17, 1995 decreased to $490,000 compared  to
$6.2   million  for  the  corresponding  period   of   1994.
Operating  income  for  the 24 weeks  ended  June  17,  1995
decreased to $3.0 million compared to $11.3 million  in  the
corresponding period of 1994.  The decrease for the 12 weeks
and  24  weeks  ended June 17, 1995 was the  result  of  the
decrease in sales and gross profit margins offset in part by
the decrease in selling and administrative expenses.

           Interest  Expense.  Interest expense for  the  12
weeks ended June 17, 1995 decreased slightly to $3.9 million
from  $4.0 million in the corresponding period of 1994,  due
to a decrease in the usage of the revolving credit loan, the
redemption of $25.0 million of Senior Notes on June 1, 1995,
offset  in part by an increase in interest rates.   Interest
expense  for  the 24 weeks ended June 17, 1995 increased  to
$8.3  million from $8.1 million in the corresponding  period
of  1994.  The increase is a result of higher interest rates
in  1995  compared to 1994, offset in part by a decrease  in
revolving  credit loan usage during the second  quarter  and
the  redemption of $25.0 million of Senior Notes on June  1,
1995.

           Income  Tax  Expense.  No income tax expense  was
recorded  for the 12 weeks and 24 weeks ended June 17,  1995
as the Company is projecting a taxable loss for fiscal 1995.
The  income tax expense for the 12 weeks and 24 weeks  ended
June 18, 1994 was $339,000 and $1.0 million respectively.

           Extraordinary Items. Extraordinary items for  the
12  weeks  ended  June 17, 1995 consist of  the  payment  of
$600,000 in consent fees to the holders of the Senior  Notes
(as  defined below), $306,000 in premiums on the  redemption
of  $15.6 million of New Fixed Rate Notes (as defined below)
and  $1.4 million in unamortized financing costs related  to
the  redemption  of $25.0 million of Senior  Notes  and  the
replacement  of the Revolving Credit Agreement  (as  defined
below).
           Income or Loss.  The Company recorded a net  loss
of  $5.7 million and $7.6 million, respectively, during  the
12  weeks and 24 weeks ended June 17, 1995, compared to  net
income  of $1.8 million and $2.2 million, respectively,  for
the  comparable  prior periods.  The decreases  in  the  net
income  were due to the decreases in sales and gross  profit
margins  and the extraordinary items recognized  in  the  12
weeks  ended June 17, 1995, offset in part by the  decreases
in selling and administrative expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

           The  major sources of liquidity for the Company's
operations  and  expansion  have been  internally  generated
funds  and  borrowings  under credit facilities.   In  March
1992,  the  Company refinanced its indebtedness by  entering
into  an Indenture with United States Trust Company  of  New
York, as trustee (the "Senior Note Indenture"), pursuant  to
which  the Company issued $45 million in aggregate principal
amount  of  Series A Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes  due
1997,  bearing interest at a floating rate of 3% over  LIBOR
(the  "Old  Floating  Rate  Notes"),  and  $75  million   in
aggregate principal amount of Series B Senior Secured  Fixed
Rate  Notes due 1999, bearing interest at 11-3/4% per  annum
(the  "Old  Fixed  Rate Notes," and together  with  the  Old
Floating  Rate Notes, the "Old Notes").  The Old Fixed  Rate
Notes  were not redeemable by the Company until on or  after
March 1, 1997.

            In   October  and  November  1992,  the  Company
conducted  an offer to exchange its Series D Senior  Secured
Floating Rate Notes due 1997 (the "New Floating Rate Notes")
for  an  equal  principal  amount  of  its  outstanding  Old
Floating Rate Notes, and Series C Senior Secured Fixed  Rate
Notes  due  1999 (the "New Fixed Rate Notes,"  and  together
with  the New Floating Rate Notes, the "New Notes")  for  an
equal principal amount of its Old Fixed Rate Notes.  The Old
Notes  and the New Notes are collectively referred to herein
as  the  "Senior  Notes".  The New Notes  are  substantially
identical to the Old Notes, except that the offering of  the
New  Notes  was registered with the Securities and  Exchange
Commission.   Holders of the New Notes are not  entitled  to
certain rights of holders of the Old Notes, as described  in
the prospectus relating to the exchange offer.

          For information regarding recent amendments to the
Senior  Note  Indenture,  see Part  II-Item  2  "Changes  in
Securities."

           On  June  1,  1995,  the Company  redeemed  $15.6
million  of  its New Fixed Rate Notes, $6.9 million  of  New
Floating  Rate  Notes and $2.5 million of Old Floating  Rate
Notes  (collectively the "Redeemed Notes").  The  redemption
price  for  the  Redeemed Notes was equal  to  100%  of  the
principal  amount and accrued interest of $695,000  plus  in
the  case of the New Fixed Rate Notes, a premium of $306,000
(see Part II-Item 5 "Other Information").  At July 31, 1995,
$59.4 million of New Fixed Rate Notes, $26.1 million of  New
Floating  Rate  Notes and $9.5 million of Old Floating  Rate
Notes were outstanding.

           On  April  21,  1995,  the Company  replaced  its
Revolving  Credit Agreement with Union Bank of  Switzerland,
New  York Branch, as agent and as lender, any other  lenders
and  financial institutions parties thereto (the  "Revolving
Credit  Agreement") with a revised revolving  facility  (the
"Amended  and  Restated Revolving Credit  Agreement").   The
Amended  and  Restated Revolving Credit  Agreement  is  with
National  Bank  of Canada ("NBC"), as agent and  as  lender,
Heller  Financial,  Inc.  and any other  lenders  thereafter
parties thereto.  The Amended and Restated Revolving  Credit
Agreement  provides a commitment of up  to  $25  million  in
secured  revolving credit loans and letters of credit.   The
Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement permits  (a)
borrowings  to  refinance  the  existing  Revolving   Credit
Agreement and for working capital needs and (b) the issuance
of  standby  letters  of credit and documentary  letters  of
credit.  Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Revolving
Credit  Agreement bear interest at the NBC  Base  Rate  plus
1.5%  for the first year.  Subsequent year's interest  rates
will  be dependent upon the Company's earnings but will  not
exceed  the  NBC Base Rate plus 2.0%.  All borrowings  under
the  Amended  and  Restated Revolving Credit  Agreement  are
subject to certain borrowing base requirements and mature no
later  than  February  27,  1997, with  the  possibility  of
extending  the  maturity  date to  March  31,  1998  at  the
lenders'  sole  discretion.  At July 31, 1995,  $420,000  of
revolving  credit loans were outstanding under  the  Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement.


                 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 2.   Changes in Securities

           On  April 13, 1995, the Company received consents
for  certain  amendments to the Senior  Note  Indenture  and
certain  related  agreements from holders of  Senior  Notes.
The  amendments  (a)  increased the interest  rate  on  each
series of Notes by one-half of one percent (0.5%) per annum;
(b)  amended, added and deleted certain financial  covenants
and  related  definitions under the  Senior  Note  Indenture
(including modifying the Consolidated Fixed Charge  Coverage
Ratio covenant, adding a new Debt-to-EBITDA ratio and a  new
Capital   Expenditures  covenant,  deleting   the   Adjusted
Consolidated  Net Worth covenant) to reflect  the  Company's
size,  operations and financial position following  the  AWG
transaction;  (c) amended certain provisions of  the  Senior
Note  Indenture to permit the Company to incur certain liens
and  indebtedness  and  to  make an  investment  in  certain
membership  stock and receive or earn patronage certificates
or  other equity in connection with the supply agreement  to
be  entered into with AWG; (d) amended certain provisions of
a  security  agreement securing the Senior Note  to  provide
that AWG will have a first lien on certain collateral to  be
acquired  by the Company in connection with the  AWG  supply
agreement;  (e)  amended  certain other  provisions  of  the
Senior  Note  Indenture to, among other  things,  limit  the
Company's  ability to incur certain future indebtedness  and
guarantees,  and  to provide that a certain  amount  of  net
proceeds from future asset sales must be applied to an offer
to  redeem  the  Senior Notes; and (f)  amended  a  mortgage
securing the Senior Notes to provide that defaults under, or
modifications or terminations of, a certain lease related to
a store to be closed, will not constitute a default or event
of  default  under  the mortgage.  On April  21,  1995,  the
Company  and  United States Trust Company of  New  York,  as
trustee for the holders of the Senior Notes, entered into  a
supplemental indenture effecting these amendments.



Item 5.   Other Information

           On  April  21, 1995, the Company sold 29  of  its
stores  and  its warehouse and distribution  center  to  AWG
pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of February
6, 1995 (the "Purchase Agreement") for a cash purchase price
of $45 million plus $27.7 million for the value of inventory
in  the  stores  and the warehouse.  The Purchase  Agreement
required AWG to assume, or provide certain undertakings with
respect  to,  certain  contracts and lease  obligations  and
pension  liabilities of the Company.  At  the  closing,  the
Company  and  AWG  also  entered into  a  seven-year  supply
agreement, whereby the Company became a retail member of the
AWG   cooperative  and  AWG  became  the  Company's  primary
supplier.

           AWG is a buying cooperative which sells groceries
on  a wholesale basis to its retail member stores.  AWG  has
716  member stores located in a nine-state region and is the
nation's   fifth   largest   wholesale   distributor,   with
approximately $2.6 billion in revenues in 1994.

           The  Company realized net proceeds from  the  AWG
transaction of approximately $37.2 million, $25.0 million of
which  was  allocated to the Senior Notes and $12.2  million
was  allocated  to  indebtedness under the Revolving  Credit
Agreement.   The remaining proceeds from the AWG transaction
were (i) used to pay certain costs, expenses and liabilities
required  to  be paid in connection with the AWG transaction
or  (ii) deposited into escrow pending reinvestment  by  the
Company or application against a subsequent offer to  redeem
additional  Senior Notes in either case within 180  days  of
the closing of the AWG transaction.
           The purposes of the AWG transaction were: (i)  to
reduce  the Company's borrowed money indebtedness in respect
of the Senior Notes and under the Revolving Credit Agreement
by  $37.2 million in the aggregate; (ii) to have AWG assume,
or  provide  certain undertakings with respect  to,  certain
contracts and leases and certain pension liabilities of  the
Company;   (iii)  to  sell  the  Company's   warehouse   and
distribution  center,  which  eliminated  the   high   fixed
overhead  costs  associated  with  the  operation   of   the
warehouse  and  distribution center and thereby  permit  the
Company to close marginal and unprofitable stores; and  (iv)
to  obtain  the  benefits of becoming a member  of  the  AWG
cooperative, including increased purchases of private  label
products,  special  product  purchases,  dedicated   support
programs and access to AWG's store systems.

           The  Company plans to close certain marginal  and
unprofitable  stores.   Such  a  plan  is  now   financially
feasible  because  of  the sale of  the  warehouse  and  the
elimination  of  the  high fixed costs associated  with  the
warehouse operation.  The Company has closed nine stores  as
of  July  31,  1995 and expects to close an  additional  six
stores by the end of 1995.

           The  Company  received a notice  and  demand  for
payment, dated June 22, 1995, from Central States, Southeast
and  Southwest Areas Pension Fund (the "Fund") in the amount
of  approximately $4.4 million.  The Fund has asserted  that
the  Company has incurred a withdrawal liability as a result
of  the  sale  of  the  distribution  center  to  AWG.   The
Company's  sale of the distribution center  to  AWG  was  in
compliance  with  ERISA Section 4204  and,  accordingly,  no
withdrawal from the Fund has occurred.  Pursuant to the  AWG
transaction,  AWG has agreed to indemnify  the  Company  for
withdrawal liability up to approximately $3.5 million.   The
Company  believes  that  the  Fund  has  no  basis  for  the
assertion  of withdrawal liability and does not believe  the
disposition  of the liability would have a material  adverse
effect  on  the  Company's financial  position,  results  of
operations or cash flows.
