               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 in the 1995 third fiscal quarter.

   The cash dividends of $0.03 per share represent the second semi-annual
   payment in the 1996 first fiscal quarter.  No payments were made in the
   comparable fiscal year quarter since the payment of semi-annual cash
   dividends was reinstated 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):

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         For the quarter ended July 29, 1995, sales increased $41.4 million
or 10.9% from the comparable prior year quarter.  This sales increase resulted
from the introduction of new product lines and new sales and marketing
strategies.  Same branch sales increased 4.3% for the quarter.

         Cost of sales for the quarter ended July 29, 1995 increased $36.7
million or 12.3% to $335.6 million as compared with $298.9 million for the
first quarter of fiscal 1995.  This resulted in a decrease in the gross profit
margin to 20.4% from 21.4%, due to the Company's fundamental shift toward
becoming a full-line distributor and offering additional product categories,
such as fresh meats and produce.  Warehouse, selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 18.6% from 19.7%
last year due to the Company's progress in containing costs and improving
operating efficiencies under its Project Results program.

         Interest expense for the quarter ended July 29, 1995 was comparable
to the same period in the prior year quarter.  The effective tax rates for the
three month period ended July 29, 1995 and  July 30, 1994 were comparable at
40% and 41%, respectively.

         Net income for the quarter ended July 29, 1995 increased by $0.7
million to $2.6 million from $1.9 million in the comparable prior last year.
The primary reasons accounting for this improvement were increased sales and
reduced operating expenses as a percentage of sales.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         For the first quarter of fiscal 1996, cash used for operations was
$28.1 million compared to $20.5 million for the comparable period in fiscal
1995.  This increase was primarily due to the increase in accounts receivable
and inventories.  Cash flows used in investing activities for the first
quarter of fiscal 1996 consisted of capital expenditures of $16.3 million
compared to $15.5 million for the comparable period in fiscal 1995.  This
increase is attributable to the  construction of the new Cincinnati and Los
Angeles distribution centers.  Net cash used in investing activities for the
three months ended July 29, 1995 decreased by $5.4 million compared to the
same period in fiscal 1995.  This resulted primarily from the absence of net
cash used in discontinued operations.  Cash provided by financing activities
was $42.4 million for the three months ended July 29, 1995 compared to $34.9
million for the comparable period in fiscal 1995.  This increase was primarily
due to increased borrowings under the Company's bank credit line.  Cash
utilization of the restructuring reserve during the first quarter of fiscal
1996 approximated $4.4 million.

         Working capital at July 29, 1995 was $194.9 million compared to
$161.6 million at April 29, 1995.  The current ratio was 2.4:1 at July 29,
1995 compared with 2.0:1 at April 29, 1995.  As of July 29, 1995, total
current assets represented approximately 61% of the total assets of the
Company.
