(2) CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Company issued $100,000,000 of senior subordinated unsecured notes on
November 15, 1995.  CGF Properties, Inc. Has not guaranteed the unsecured notes
and financial information for this wholly-owned subsidiary is presented
separately.  All of the Company's other direct and indirect subsidiaries, AOL
Express, Inc., APR Forwarders, Inc., Oaken Keg Spirit Shops, Inc. And Alaska
Advertisers, Inc. Are wholly-owned and have fully and unconditionally guaranteed
the unsecured notes on a joint and several basis and, accordingly, are presented
on a combined basis. Parent company only information is presented for
Carr-Gottstein Foods Co., which reflects only its business activity and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries accounted for using the equity method. Separate
financial statements and other disclosures for the guarantor subsidiaries are
not presented because in the opinion of management such information is not
material.

          13 WEEKS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO 13 WEEKS ENDED JULY 2, 1995

     SALES.  Sales for the 13 weeks ended June 30, 1996 were $161.0 million
compared to $154.6 million for the 13 weeks ended July 2, 1995.  The 4.1%
increase was due in part to increases at the Carrs Quality Centers (the "Carrs
Stores") and increases attributable to Wholesale operations.  The increase in
sales for the second 13 weeks of 1996 reflects a 2.8% increase and 0.1% decrease
in comparable store sales for the Carrs Stores and Eagle Quality Centers (the
"Eagle Stores"), respectively.

     GROSS PROFIT.  Gross profit for the 13 weeks ended June 30, 1996 was $43.8
million compared to $48.6 million for the 13 weeks ended July 2, 1995.  The
decrease in gross margin dollars is primarily attributable to the allocation of
warehousing and distribution expenses to cost of goods sold.  In previous
quarters, these expenses were not charged to the cost of goods sold but were
classified as operating expenses. Gross profit was also negatively impacted by
the kick-off of the Carrs Plus "Swipe the Gold, Save the Green" electronic
marketing campaign.  As a percentage of sales, gross profit was 27.2% for the 13
weeks 1996 compared to 31.4% for the 13 weeks 1995.  Gross profit as a
percentage of sales for the 13 weeks 1996 decreased primarily as a result of the
allocation of warehousing and distribution expenses and partially as the result
of increased promotional  expenses during the quarter.
 
     OPERATING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Operating and administrative
expenses for the 13 weeks ended June 30, 1996 were $37.0 million compared to 
$39.8 million for the 13 weeks ended July 2, 1995.  Operating and 
administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were 23.0% for the 13 weeks 
1996 compared to 25.7% for the 13 weeks 1995.  The decrease in operating 
expenses is primarily attributable to the allocation of warehousing and 
transportation expenses to the cost of goods sold coupled with some 
additional expenses related to the "Fusion" corporate re-engineering project 
that was brought to a conclusion at the end of the first quarter.
                                          
     OPERATING INCOME.  Operating income for the 13 weeks ended June 30, 1996 
decreased $2.0 million from $8.8 million in the second quarter of 1995 to 
$6.8 million in the second quarter of 1996.  This decrease in operating 
income was due primarily to the reduction in gross profit which was impacted 
by the Carrs Plus electronic marketing campaign and to some increased 
expenses associated with the "Fusion" project as discussed above.
                                        
     OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE.  Net interest expense was $7.1 million for the 
13 weeks ended June 30, 1996 compared to $3.7 million for the 13 weeks ended 
July 2, 1995.  The increase in interest expense is primarily attributable to 
the full quarter impact of increased interest costs related to the borrowings 
associated with the self stock tender completed by the Company in November of 
1995.

     INCOME TAXES.  Income tax expense for the 13 weeks ended June 30, 1996 
was $0.2 million compared to a $2.4 million expense (a 46.7% effective tax 
rate) for the 13 weeks ended July 2, 1995.  The high effective tax rate in 
1995 resulted from the amortization of intangible assets for which no tax 
benefit was available.
                                        
     NET INCOME (LOSS)  Net loss for the 13 weeks ended June 30, 1996 was 
$0.4 million, or $0.05 per share, versus net income of $2.7 million, or $0.18 
per share for the 13 weeks ended July 2, 1995.
                                        
          26 WEEKS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO 26 WEEKS ENDED JULY 2, 1995

     SALES.  Sales for the 26 weeks ended June 30, 1996 were $303.8 million 
compared to $293.7 million for the 26 weeks ended July 2, 1995. The increase 
in sales for the 26 weeks of 1996 reflects a 0.5% and 1.5% increase in 
comparable store sales for the Carrs Stores and Eagle Stores, respectively.
                                        
     GROSS PROFIT.  Gross profit for the 26 weeks ended June 30, 1996 was 
$83.9 million compared to $92.1 million for the 26 weeks ended July 2, 1995.  
The decrease in gross margin dollars is primarily attributable to the 
allocation of warehousing and distribution expenses to cost of goods sold as 
discussed above as well as extra promotional expenses that were incurred in 
the second quarter. As a percentage of sales, gross profit was 27.6% for the 
26 weeks 1996 compared to 31.4% for the 26 weeks 1995.  Gross profit as a 
percentage of sales for the 26 weeks 1996 decreased primarily as a result of 
the allocation of warehousing and distribution expenses and partially as the 
result of the increased promotional expenses during the second quarter.
                                        
     OPERATING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Operating and administrative 
expenses for the 26 weeks ended June 30, 1996 were $72.4 million compared to 
$77.4 million for the 26 weeks ended July 2, 1995.  Operating and 
administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were 23.8% for the 26 weeks 
1996 compared to 26.3% for the 26 weeks 1995.  The decrease in operating 
expenses is primarily attributable to the allocation of warehousing and 
transportation expenses to the cost of goods sold coupled with expenses 
related to the "Fusion" corporate re-engineering project that was brought to 
a conclusion at the end of the first quarter.
                                          
     OPERATING INCOME.  Operating income for the 26 weeks ended June 30, 1996 
decreased $3.3 million from $14.8 million, or 5.0 percent of sales, in 1995 
to $11.5 million, or 3.8 percent of sales in 1996.
                                        
     OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE.  Net interest expense was $14.0 million for 
the 26 weeks ended June 30, 1996 compared to $7.1 million for the 26 weeks 
ended July 2, 1995.  The increase in interest expense is primarily 
attributable to the impact of increased interest costs related to the 
borrowings associated with the self stock tender  completed by the Company in 
November of 1995.
                                        
     INCOME TAXES.  The Company recognized an income tax benefit for the 26 
weeks ended June 30, 1996 of $0.5 million compared to a $3.7 million expense 
(a 48.6% effective tax rate) for the 26 weeks ended July 2, 1995.  The high 
effective tax rate in 1995 resulted from the amortization of intangible 
assets for which no tax benefit was available.
                                        
     NET INCOME (LOSS)  Net loss for the 26 weeks ended June 30, 1996 was 
$2.0 million, or $0.26 per share, versus net income of $3.9 million, or $0.25 
per share for the 26 weeks ended July 2, 1995.
                                        
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from 
operations and its working capital revolving credit facility, which are 
considered to be adequate for anticipated cash needs. Primary uses are 
capital expenditures, debt service, and lease payments.

     Net cash provided by operating activities was $8.4 million for the 26 
weeks ended June 30, 1996 compared to net cash provided by operating 
activities of $12.9 million for the same period in 1995. The change in the 26 
weeks 1996 compared to 1995 was due primarily to increased inventories and 
receivables offset by larger increases in accounts payable and accrued 
expenses.
                                        
     Capital expenditures for the 26 weeks ended June 30, 1996 were $2.7 
million.  The majority of these expenditures were related to the "Fusion" 
project and other projects started in the previous year.  Although the 
Company will consider opportunities for new store construction or 
acquisition, should they arise, capital expenditures are currently expected 
to be approximately $6.0 million for fiscal 1996.  It is anticipated that the 
balance of 1996 capital expenditures will be funded out of cash provided by 
operations and borrowings under the working capital revolver.                 
                        
     Net cash used for financing activities during the 26 weeks ended June 
30, 1996 was $3.2 million.  The level of borrowings under the Company's 
revolving debt is dependent primarily upon cash flows from operations, the 
timing of disbursements, long-term borrowing activity and capital 
expenditures. 
                                        
     At June 30, 1996 there was $15.8 million outstanding on the revolving 
debt borrowings.  The Company had available unused credit of $19.2 million.  
Funds borrowed under the revolving credit portion of the Company's credit 
facility are restricted to working capital and general corporate purposes.
