              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 27, 1996.


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 distributed in the 1995 third fiscal quarter.

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

                                             October 28,         April 29,
                                                   1995              1995
                                                   ----              ----

                                               $157,889          $138,122

5.   During 1993 the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $31 million to
     cover costs associated with a planned business reorganization.  This
     reorganization was completed during the second quarter of the current year.
     With the completion of the reorganization program, the Company reversed the
     remaining unused portion of the original $31 million charge.  This
     reversal, totalling $6.4 million, related primarily to over estimates
     of facility closures which partly offsets expenses associated with the
     Los Angeles move included in warehouse, selling, general and administrative
     expenses.

6.   In October 1994, the Company sold all of the stock of Tone Brothers, Inc.
     ("Tone") to Burns Philp, Inc. ("Burns Philp").  The sale agreement provides
     for arbitration in the case of a dispute and Burns Philp has filed a notice
     of arbitration in which it claims contract and fraud damages in excess of
     $57 million in connection with the purchase of Tone.  In management's
     opinion, based on consultation with legal counsel, the sale agreement
     should limit any claims for breach of representations under the sale
     agreement to a maximum of $25 million.

7.   In November 1995, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of
     H&O Foods, Inc., a privately owned Nevada corporation ("H&O"). H&O is a
     regional, full-line institutional foodservice distributor serving Nevada,
     California and Arizona.

     The Company paid approximately $30,700,000 in payment of the purchase price
     for the assets acquired, subject to certain post-closing purchase price
     adjustments.  The aggregate consideration consisted of approximately
     $5,500,000 in cash, the  issuance of unsecured promissory notes in the
     amounts of $5,305,000 and $21,350,000 and the assumption of certain H&O
     liabilities.

     Additionally, on December 5, 1995, the Company  announced that it had
     entered into a letter of intent with U.S. Foodservice, Inc. ("U.S.
     Foodservice") regarding a possible aquisition of U.S. Foodservice and
     will begin negotiating definitive documentation.

     U.S. Foodservice, with 1994 net sales of approximately $1.5 billion, is a
     distributor of food and related non-foods to the foodservice industry,
     serving more than 35,000 customers in over 30 states, primarily in the
     Southeastern, Southwestern and Mid-Atlantic regions.

     Under the letter of intent, upon consummation of the proposed transaction,
     each share of U.S. Foodservice common stock would be exchanged for $25 in
     value of the Company's common stock, subject to a maximum of 1.457 and a
     minimum of 1.244 shares of the Company's common stock.  Assuming
     approximately 8.8 million shares of U.S. Foodservice common stock
     outstanding, a maximum of approximately 12.9 million and a minimum of
     approximately 11.0 million shares of the Company's common stock would be
     issuable upon consummation of the proposed transaction.  The Company
     currently has approximately 14.8 million shares of common stock
     outstanding.  Treatment of the outstanding options to acquire approximately
     1 million shares of U.S. Foodservice is to be determined.  The letter of
     intent also provides for the redemption of the preferred stock of U.S.
     Foodservice for approximately $50.5 million in cash (plus accrued and
     unpaid interest from October 15, 1995) and the assumption or refinancing of
     approximately $350 million of U.S. Foodservice's currently outstanding
     debt.

     Execution of a definitive agreement is subject to a number of conditions,
     including negotiation of a mutually satisfactory definitive agreement,
     receipt of commitments to refinance substantially  all of the existing debt
     of the combined companies, obtaining necessary Board approvals, and
     satisfactory completion of due diligence.  Any combination of the Company
     and U.S. Foodservice also will require receipt of shareholder and
     regulatory approvals, including the expiration or early termination of the
     waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of
     1976.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     For the quarter ended October 28, 1995, sales increased $47.8 million or
12.2% from the comparable prior year quarter.  For the six month period, sales
increased $89.2 million or 11.5% to $862.3 million from $773.1 million in the
prior period.  The sales increases for these periods resulted from the
introduction of new product lines, new sales and marketing strategies and
acquisitions.  Same branch sales increased 3.6% and 4.2%, respectively, for the
quarter and six months ended October 28, 1995.

     Cost of sales for the three month period ended October 28, 1995 increased
$43.7 million or 14.2% to $352.5 million and, on a year to date basis, increased
$80.4 million or 13.2% to $688.0 million.  This resulted in a decrease in the
gross profit margin to 20.0% from 21.4% in the comparable prior year quarter
and, on a year to date basis, to 20.2% from 21.4% last year.  These declines
were primarily due to the Company's fundamental shift toward becoming a full-
line distributor and offering additional product categories, such as meats,
poultry and seafood.  Warehouse, selling, general and administrative expenses as
a percentage of sales for the quarter increased to 19.4%, compared with 19.0% a
year ago.  This increase was due to start up expenses associated with the move
of the Los Angeles distribution center and increased selling expenses arising
from the implementation of new ordering systems.  On a year-to-date
basis,  these expenses have decreased to 19.0% from 19.3% last year due to the
Company's progress in containing costs and improving operating efficiencies
under its Project Results program.  The reversal of restructuring reserves for
$6.4 million resulted from finalization of the provision established in 1993,
which offsets expenses associated with the Los Angeles move included in
warehouse, selling, general and administrative expenses.

     Interest expense for the three and six month periods ended October 28, 1995
increased by $1.4 million in both periods primarily due to increased borrowing
levels, higher interest rates and a lower capitalized interest amount.  The
effective tax rates for the three and six month periods ended October 28, 1995
and October 29, 1994 were comparable at 40% and 41%, respectively.

     Income from continuing operations for the three month period ended October
28, 1995 decreased by $1.1 million to $2.9 million.  For the six months ended
October 28, 1995, income from continuing operations decreased by $0.6 million to
$5.5 million.  Results for these periods were impacted by a slowdown in sales
growth at various locations throughout the country, changing customer mix, the
accelerated growth of newer product categories, such as meats, poultry and
seafood, that typically carry lower margins, and by increased interest expense.

     In October 1994, the Company sold all of the stock of  Tone Brothers, Inc.,
("Tone")  which resulted in a gain of $23.4 million, net of income taxes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     For the six months ended October 28, 1995, cash used in operations was
$10.0 million compared to cash provided by operations of $0.4 million for the
comparable period in fiscal 1995.  The net cash used in operations was primarily
due to increases in accounts receivable and inventories, offset by the increase
in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.  Cash flows used in investing
activities for the six months ended October 28, 1995 consisted primarily of
capital expenditures of $36.0 million compared to $35.1 million for the
comparable period in fiscal 1995.  The increase in capital expenditures is
attributable to the construction of the new Cincinnati distribution center.
For the comparable period in fiscal 1995, net cash provided by investing
activities of $51.0 million resulted from the proceeds of $96.0 million on the
sale of Tone, offset by net cash used in discontinued operations of
$11.2 million.  Cash provided by financing activities was $61.6 million for
the six months ended October 28, 1995 compared to cash used in financing
activities of $21.2 million for the comparable period in fiscal 1995. The
change was primarily due to increased borrowings under the Company's bank credit
line.

     Working capital at October 28, 1995 was $126.5 million compared to $161.6
million at April 29, 1995.  The current ratio was 1.5:1 at October 28, 1995
compared with 2.0:1 at April 29, 1995.  As of October 28, 1995, total current
assets represented approximately 61.3% of the total assets of the Company.
