Carr-Gottstein Foods Co. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)


(1)  During interim  periods,  Carr-Gottstein  Foods Co. and  subsidiaries  (the
     "Company")  follows  the  accounting  policies  set  forth  in its  audited
     financial  statements  included  in its Annual  Report for the fiscal  year
     ended  December  29, 1996 filed with the  Securities  Exchange  Commission.
     These  consolidated   interim  financial   statements  should  be  read  in
     conjunction with such audited  consolidated  financial statements and notes
     thereto.  Management  believes  that  the  accompanying  interim  financial
     statements reflect all adjustments which are necessary for a fair statement
     of the results of the interim period presented. All adjustments made in the
     accompanying interim financial statements are of a normal recurring nature.

(2)  Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share,  supersedes APB
     Opinion  No.  15,   Earnings   Per  Share,   specifies   the   computation,
     presentation,  and disclosure requirements for earnings per share (EPS) for
     entities  with publicly  held common stock or potential  common stock.  The
     statement  replaces  Primary  EPS and Fully  Diluted EPS with Basic EPS and
     Diluted EPS,  respectively.  Basic EPS,  unlike  Primary EPS,  excludes all
     dilution while Diluted EPS, like Fully Diluted EPS,  reflects the potential
     dilution that could occur if securities or other  contracts to issue common
     stock were  exercised  or  converted  into common  stock or resulted in the
     issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.

     Due to an immaterial  difference between Primary and Fully Diluted EPS, the
     Company has  historically  presented  only a single EPS. The Company in the
     future  will  present  both Basic and  Diluted  EPS for income  (loss) from
     continuing operations and net income (loss). The statement is effective for
     financial  statements  for both  interim and annual  periods  ending  after
     December  15,  1997.  After  adoption,  all prior  periods EPS data will be
     restated.  The  adoption of the new  statement  is expected to have minimal
     effect on the Company's EPS.

 (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.

The following are condensed consolidating balance sheets:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) - continued

The following is condensed consolidating cash flow information. The consolidated
Company's  cash and cash  equivalents  is positive at each balance sheet date so
negative balances for individual subsidiaries are not classified as liabilities.
The net cash  provided  by  operating  activities  fluctuates  due to changes in
intercompany  receivables and payables from the transfer of cash to and from the
parent company.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations.

The  following  discussion  should  be read in  conjunction  with the  unaudited
financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

General

         Carr-Gottstein Foods Co. is the leading retail and wholesale food 
company in Alaska operating full-service supermarkets and wine and liquor 
stores as well as the only full-line food warehouse and distribution center
(under the J.B. Gottstein name) in the state.

Results of Operations

          13 Weeks Ended June 29, 1997 Compared to 13 Weeks Ended June 30, 1996

         Sales.  Sales for the 13 weeks ended June 29, 1997 were $152.0  million
compared  to $161.0  million  for the 13 weeks  ended  June 30,  1996.  The 5.5%
decrease was due in part to decreases at the wholesale and freight  divisions as
well as generally softer comparable store sales at the retail division. Sales at
the retail  division  were  impacted by the change in the Easter  holiday  sales
which fell into the first quarter of 1997 versus the second quarter of the prior
year,  increased  competitive  activity  and the strong  sales in the prior year
period due to the kick-off of the "Carrs Plus"  electronic  marketing  campaign.
The decrease in sales for the second 13 weeks of 1997  reflects a 3.9%  decrease
in comparable store sales at the retail division.

         Gross  Profit.  Gross  profit for the 13 weeks  ended June 29, 1997 was
$43.7  million  compared to $43.8  million for the 13 weeks ended June 30, 1996.
The decrease in gross margin dollars is primarily  attributable  to the decrease
in sales. As a percentage of sales, gross profit was 28.7% for the 13 weeks 1997
compared to 27.2% for the 13 weeks 1996.  Gross profit as a percentage  of sales
for the 13 weeks  1997  increased  primarily  as the result of  improved  buying
practices  during the period  coupled  with  improved  margins at the  wholesale
division.

         Operating and  Administrative  Expenses.  Operating and  administrative
expenses  for the 13 weeks  ended June 29, 1997 were $36.2  million  compared to
$37.0 million for the 13 weeks ended June 30, 1996. Operating and administrative
expenses as a percentage  of sales were 23.8% for the 13 weeks 1997  compared to
23.0% for the 13 weeks 1996.

         Operating Income. Operating income for the 13 weeks ended June 29, 1997
increased  $0.7 million from $6.8 million in the second  quarter of 1996 to $7.5
million in the second quarter of 1997. This increase in operating income was due
primarily to the  improvements in gross profit margin and the effective  expense
control in the quarter.

         Other Income and Expense. Net interest expense was $6.7 million for the
13 weeks  ended June 29, 1997  compared  to $7.1  million for the 13 weeks ended
June 30,  1996.  The  decrease in interest  expense was due  primarily  to lower
average debt  balances in the quarter.  In June 1997,  the Company  recognized a
non-recurring  pre-tax   restructuring  charge  of  $8.9  million,   principally
associated with its decision to close its YES Foods  institutional  food service
business along with the discontinuance of its wholesaling  services to a Russian
export business.

         Income  Taxes.  Income tax benefit for the 13 weeks ended June 29, 1997
was $3.1 million  compared to a $0.2 million expense for the 13 weeks ended June
30, 1996.
<PAGE>

         Net Loss.  Net income for the 13 weeks  ended June 29,  1997 before the
non-recurring  pre-tax restructuring charge of $8.9 million was $0.2 million, or
$0.02 per share,  versus a net loss of $0.4 million,  or $0.05 per share for the
13 weeks ended June 30, 1996.  The net loss for the 13 weeks 1997  including the
non-recurring charge was $5.1 million, or $0.64 per share.


          26 Weeks Ended June 29, 1997 Compared to 26 Weeks Ended June 30, 1996

         Sales.  Sales for the 26 weeks ended June 29, 1997 were $293.5  million
compared to $303.8 million for the 26 weeks ended June 30, 1996. The decrease in
sales  for the 26 weeks of 1997  reflects  a  decrease  of 1.6% in total  retail
comparable store sales.

         Gross  Profit.  Gross  profit for the 26 weeks  ended June 29, 1997 was
$84.7  million  compared to $83.9  million for the 26 weeks ended June 30, 1996.
The  increase in gross  margin  dollars is  partially  attributable  to improved
buying practices and to improved gross margins at the wholesale  division.  As a
percentage  of sales,  gross profit was 28.9% for the 26 weeks 1997  compared to
27.6% for the 26 weeks 1996.

         Operating and  Administrative  Expenses.  Operating and  administrative
expenses  for the 26 weeks  ended June 29, 1997 were $71.7  million  compared to
$72.4 million for the 26 weeks ended June 30, 1996. Operating and administrative
expenses as a percentage  of sales were 24.4% for the 26 weeks 1997  compared to
23.8% for the 26 weeks 1996.  The decrease in operating  expense  dollars is due
partially to the reduction in sales coupled with the effective  expense  control
during the first half of 1997.

         Operating Income. Operating income for the 26 weeks ended June 29, 1997
increased  $1.5 million from $11.5 million,  or 3.8% of sales,  in 1996 to $13.0
million,  or 4.4% of sales in 1997  due to  improved  gross  profit  margin  and
expense control.

         Other Income and Expense.  Net interest  expense was $13.4  million for
the 26 weeks  ended June 29,  1997  compared  to $14.0  million for the 26 weeks
ended June 30, 1996.  The decrease in interest  expense is due to lower  average
debt  balances  during  the  first  half of  1997.  In June  1997,  the  Company
recognized  a  non-recurring  pre-tax  restructuring  charge  of  $8.9  million,
principally  associated  with its decision to close its YES Foods  institutional
feed service business along with the discontinuance of its wholesaling  services
to a Russian export business.

         Income Taxes.  The Company  recognized an income tax benefit for the 26
weeks ended June 29, 1997 of $3.3 million compared to a $0.5 million benefit for
the 26 weeks ended June 30, 1996.

         Net Loss.  Net loss for the 26 weeks  ended  June 29,  1997  before its
non-recurring  pre-tax restructuring charge of $8.9 million was $0.8 million, or
$0.10 per share,  versus a net loss $2.0 million,  or $0.26 per share for the 26
weeks  ended June 30,  1996.  The net loss for the 26 weeks 1997  including  the
non-recurring charge was $6.1 million, or $0.77 per share.


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 $6.0 million for the 26
weeks ended June 29, 1997 compared to net cash provided by operating  activities
of $8.4  million  for the same  period in 1996.  The change in the 26 weeks 1997
compared to 1996 was due primarily to the  increased  net loss  recorded  during
this period.
<PAGE>

         Capital  expenditures  for the 26 weeks  ending June 29, 1997 were $1.9
million.  Capital  expenditures  are  expected  to range  between  $6.0 and $8.0
million for fiscal  1997.  It is  anticipated  that the balance of 1997  capital
expenditures  will be funded out of cash provided by operations  and  borrowings
under the working capital revolver.

         Net cash used by financing  activities for the 26 weeks ending June 29,
1997 was $1.9  million.  During  this time  period,  the Company  increased  its
borrowings  under its revolving line of credit by $0.9 million and made payments
against  its  long-term  debt  in the  amount  of $3.1  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 29, 1997 there was $7.9 million  outstanding  on the  revolving
debt. The Company had available  unused credit of $27.1 million.  Funds borrowed
under  the  revolving  credit  portion  of the  Company's  credit  facility  are
restricted to working capital and general corporate purposes.
