              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.       The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have
         been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and
         regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain
         information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
         statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
         principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
         regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are
         adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  It is
         suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be
         read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto
         included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K.

2.       The foregoing financial information, not examined by independent
         public accountants, reflects, in the opinion of the Company, all
         adjustments (which included only normal recurring adjustments)
         necessary to present fairly the information purported to be shown and
         is not necessarily indicative of the results of the operations for the
         entire year ending April 29, 1995.

3.       Primary earnings per share of common stock have been computed on the
         weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and
         dilutive common stock equivalents.

         The weighted average number of shares outstanding and earnings per
         share included in the financial statements have been adjusted for a
         5-for-4 stock split effected in the form of a 25 percent stock
         dividend.  The stock dividend was distributed on January 24, 1995 to
         shareholders of record on December 21, 1994.

4.       Inventories are carried at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or
         market and are summarized as follows (amounts in thousands):

5.       On October 27, 1994, the Company sold all of the outstanding capital
         stock of Tone Brothers, Inc. ("Tone") to Burns Philp & Company
         Limited.  The Company received $96 million in cash in payment of the
         purchase price.  As a result of the sale, the Company recognized an
         estimated gain of $23,359,000, net of income taxes of $14,878,000.

         The accompanying prior year financial statements have been restated to
         exclude Tone's net assets and operating results from the Company's
         continuing operations.  Tone's net sales and the related provision for
         income taxes for the three and nine months ended January 28, 1995 and
         January 29, 1994, respectively, are listed below (amounts in
         thousands):

6.       On February 21, 1995, the Company, together with John Sexton & Co., a
         wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired substantially all of
         the assets of Continental Foods, Inc., a privately owned Maryland
         corporation ("Continental").  The Company and John Sexton
         simultaneously acquired all of the partnership interests of Duke
         Associates, a Maryland general partnership and an affiliate of
         Continental.  Continental is a regional, full-line institutional
         foodservice distributor serving Maryland, Delaware, the District of
         Columbia, northern Virginia, southern Pennsylvania and eastern West
         Virginia.

         On the Closing Date, the Company and John Sexton together paid
         approximately $27,000,000 (the "Closing Payment") and John Sexton
         assumed certain liabilities of Continental, in payment of the purchase
         price for the assets and partnership interests acquired.  The Closing
         Payment is subject to certain purchase price adjustments.  The Closing
         Payment consisted of approximately $24,575,000 in cash, and the
         Company's issuance of an unsecured promissory note in the amount of
         $2,425,000.

         Continental's net sales for the nine months ended January 31, 1995 and
         the fiscal year ended April 30, 1994 were $78.9 million and $91.0
         million, respectively.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                           OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         For the quarter ended January 28, 1995, sales from continuing
operations increased $26.7 million or 7.6% over the comparable prior year
quarter.  For the nine month period, sales increased $83.7 million or 7.8% to
$1.15 billion from $1.07 billion in the prior year period.  The sales increases
for these periods were attributable to the Company's sales and  marketing
strategies combined with new product lines, and were achieved despite the
impact of severe weather in January 1995 throughout the west coast region.

         Cost of sales for the three month period ended January 28, 1995
increased $24.4 million or 8.8% to $300.7 million and, on a year to date basis,
increased $78.2 million or 9.4% to $908.3 million.  This resulted in a decrease
in the gross profit margin to 20.8% from 21.7% in the comparable prior year
quarter and, on a year to date basis, to 21.2% from 22.4% last year.  These
declines were primarily due to the new product lines, changes in customer mix,
the implementation of new sales promotion programs and cost increases in
certain product categories.  Warehouse, selling, general and administrative
expenses as a percentage of sales for the quarter ended January 28, 1995
decreased to 19.8% from 21.0% a year earlier and for the nine month period,
decreased to 19.5% from 21.1% in the comparable prior year.  These decreases
resulted from increased vendor support programs and improved operating
efficiencies.

         Interest expense for the three month and nine month periods ended
January 28, 1995 decreased by $0.9 million and $0.6 million, respectively,
primarily reflecting lower bank borrowings.  The effective tax rates for the
three month and nine month periods ended January 28, 1995 were 41.0% which were
the same for the comparable periods ended January 29, 1994.

         Income from continuing operations for the three month period ended
January 28, 1995 increased by $1.3 million to $0.9 million.  For the nine
months ended January 28, 1995, income from continuing operations increased by
$4.4 million to $7.0 million.  The primary reasons for these improvements were
increased sales, reduced operating expenses as a percentage of sales and
reduced interest expense.

         On October 27, 1994, the Company sold its Tone Brothers, Inc.
subsidiary.  The Company received $96 million in cash in payment of the
purchase price.  As a result of the sale, the Company recognized an estimated
gain of $23.4 million.

         The extraordinary item reported in the prior year nine month period of
$1.4 million, net of tax benefit, resulted from the write-off of deferred
finance costs associated with early retirement of 8.60% senior notes and
outstanding senior indebtedness under a prior bank credit facility.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         For the nine months ended January 28, 1995, cash used for operations
was $0.5 million compared to $16.0 million for the comparable period in fiscal
1994.  The decrease in cash used for operations was primarily due to accounts
receivable increasing by $1.3 million in the current year compared to $14.7
million last year and accounts payable and accrued liabilities increasing by
$0.2 million in the current year compared to $10.5 million last year.  This was
offset by inventories increasing by $18.4 million in the current year compared
to $8.6 million last year.  Cash flows provided by investing activities for the
nine months ended January 28, 1995 were $23.8 million compared to cash used in
investing activities of $17.3 million in the comparable period ended January
29, 1994.  The improvement in cash provided by investing activities resulted
primarily from the proceeds of $96.0 million on the sale of Tone.   Offsetting
the cash provided upon the sale of Tone were capital expenditures of $44.3
million which increased from $11.3 million last year and cash used in
discontinued operations of $30.0 million compared to $6.0 million last year.
The increase in capital expenditures is mainly attributable to the construction
of the new Los Angeles distribution center.  Cash used in financing activities
was $20.8 million for the nine months ended January 28, 1995, compared to cash
provided by financing activities of $29.1 million for the comparable period in
fiscal 1994.  This was primarily due to the payment of amounts outstanding
under the Company's bank credit line.

         Working capital at January 28, 1995 was $173.6 million compared to
$154.6 million at April 30, 1994.  The current ratio was 2.3:1 at January 28,
1995 compared with 2.2:1 at April 30, 1994.  As of January 28, 1995, total
current assets represented 63.8% of the total assets of the Company.

         In fiscal 1995, the Company plans to spend a total of approximately
$45.0 million to complete the construction of its new Los Angeles distribution
center, of which approximately $13.7 million remained to be spent as of
February 28, 1995.
