                 HARRY'S FARMERS MARKET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  MAY 1, 1996
                                        
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
- - -------------------------------

The interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by the
Company without audit.  These statements reflect all adjustments which are, in
the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position as
of May 1, 1996 and the results of operations and cash flows for the thirteen
weeks then ended.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested that these financial statements
be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and notes for the year
ended January 31, 1996 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended,
filed by the Company.


NOTE B - INVENTORIES:
- - -------------------- 

Inventories consist primarily of grocery items and are stated at the lower of
cost or market.  Cost is determined under the first-in, first-out (FIFO)
valuation method.


NOTE C - EARNINGS PER SHARE:
- - ----------------------------

Earnings per share for the periods presented are based on an average of
6,168,000 shares outstanding during the fiscal 1997 first quarter and 6,164,000
shares outstanding during the fiscal 1996 first quarter.


NOTE D - RECLASSIFICATION:
- - --------------------------

Certain items have been reclassified in the presentation of the thirteen weeks
of fiscal 1996 to conform with the presentation in the current period.


NOTE E - LOAN AGREEMENTS:
- - -------------------------

Subsequent to the end of the quarter ended May 1, 1996 the Company restructured
its senior credit facility.  The restructuring eliminated certain financial and
other loan covenant violations of the senior credit facility at year end.  In
addition, the restructuring extended until maturity, or extension thereof, the
lenders agreement to forebear the declaration of a cross default as a result of
the breach of the covenant under the Mortgage Loan.  The restructuring of the
senior credit facility will also, once the sale of the Nashville Property takes
place, allow the Company to borrow an additional $1.0 million for general
corporate purposes, including the repayment of indebtedness.

In connection with the foregoing restructuring, the Company has amended certain
warrants held by the lenders by lowering the  exercise price from $10.00 per
share to $3.00 per share on 240,000 outstanding warrants.  The Company also
issued the lenders additional warrants to purchase 120,000 shares of Class A
common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- - ---------------------

Thirteen Weeks Ended May 1, 1996 compared to Thirteen Weeks Ended May 3, 1995.

  Net sales for the thirteen weeks ended May 1, 1996, (the "1997 Quarter") were
$33.5 million, compared to $34.9 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 3,
1995, (the "1996 Quarter").  Comparable store sales declined 3.9% for the
period.  This decline can be attributed to the extreme weather conditions early
in the 1997 Quarter as well as growing competition in the Atlanta metropolitan
area.

  Gross profit as a percentage of net sales in the 1997 Quarter increased to
$8.9 million or 26.7% of net sales compared to $8.7 million or 24.8% of net
sales in the 1996 Quarter.  The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net
sales reflects the Company's on-going improvements in operations at all levels
including new merchandising initiatives combined with better operational
performance at store level, higher employee morale and a more cohesive
management team.

  Direct store expenses increased to $5.4 million or 16.0% of net sales in the
1997 Quarter compared to $5.2 million or 15.0% of net sales in the 1996 Quarter.
The increase is  attributable to wage increases which the Company implemented
for its employees in order to stay competitive in the market, as well as
additional labor added to improve service. Selling, general and administrative
expenses decreased to $2.7 million or 8.1% of net sales in the 1997 Quarter from
$2.9 million or 8.2% of net sales in the 1996 Quarter.  The decrease is
primarily attributable to management restructuring at the Company's corporate
headquarters.

  Depreciation and amortization, which includes depreciation and amortization
for the stores and the corporate facilities, but excludes the manufacturing
facilities (which are included in cost of goods sold), declined to $0.8 million
or 2.5% of net sales in the 1997 Quarter from $0.9 million or 2.6% of net sales
in the 1996 Quarter.  This decline resulted from certain assets becoming fully
depreciated prior to or during the 1997 Quarter.

  During the 1997 Quarter the Company had an operating gain of $31,000 or 0.1%
of net sales as compared to an operating loss in the 1996 Quarter of $337,000 or
(1.0)% of net sales.

                                      -8-
<PAGE>
 
  Interest expense remained virtually unchanged at $0.7 million or 2.2% of net
sales in the 1997 Quarter compared to $0.7 million or 2.0% of net sales in the
1996 Quarter.

  Other income increased to $0.4 million or 1.3% of net sales during the 1997
Quarter, from $0.2 million or  0.7% of net sales in the 1996 Quarter.  This
increase is primarily due to a gain on the sale of an outparcel at the Gwinnett
megastore.

  As a result of the above, the Company's operations incurred a net loss for the
1997 Quarter of $319,000 or ($.05) per common share, compared with a net loss of
$836,000 or ($.14) per common share during the 1996 Quarter.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

  During the 1997 Quarter, the Company's operating activities provided $0.4
million in cash and the Company invested $0.7 million in capital expenditures
which was offset by $0.9 million in gross proceeds from the sale of nonproducing
property and equipment. The Company paid $0.5 million on its line of credit and
$1.0 million on its long term obligations.  As a result, net cash during the
1997 Period decreased by $0.9 million resulting in a quarter-end cash balance of
$0.1 million.  The Company had available at quarter end $0.5 million in
additional borrowing capacity under its credit facilities.

  Cash provided by investing activities in the 1997 Quarter was approximately
$0.2 million.  Investing activities consisted mainly of capital expenditures for
property and equipment relating to stores and manufacturing facilities. During
the 1997 Quarter, the Company used  $0.3 million to remodel a portion of the
Gwinnett megastore to include an ethnic food department, $0.1 million for
additional packaging equipment in the Company's USDA manufacturing facilities,
and $0.3 million at the other stores.  Total capital expenditures were $0.7
million. Proceeds from the sale of property and equipment consisted primarily
from the sale of an outparcel at the Gwinnett megastore of $0.7 million in gross
proceeds and $0.2 million from the sale of other nonproducing assets. Total cash
provided by investing activities was $0.2 million.

  Cash used by financing activities in the 1997 Quarter was approximately $1.5
million.  Financing activities consisted mainly of repayments under the
Company's long-term debt for real estate sold as well as payments on the line of
credit and capital leases.  At the end of 1997 Quarter the Company had $0.5
million left on the credit facilities and a $0.1 million cash balance.

  The Company's working capital position in 1997 Quarter was ($0.7) million.
The decrease in working capital is due largely to a mortgage note (the "Mortgage
Loan") on the Company's distribution center and baking facility maturing in June
1996.  The note at the end of the 1997 Quarter had a balance of $3.2 million and
is classified as a current liability in the Company's financial statements.
During the third quarter of fiscal 1996 the Company was in violation of a
covenant under the Mortgage Loan.  The covenant was met for the fourth quarter
of fiscal 1996 and the 1997 Quarter.  Subsequent to the 1997 Quarter, the
Company has found what it believes to be a viable resolution for obtaining
refinancing/repayment of the Mortgage Loan. The Company expects to finalize this
activity during the second quarter of fiscal 1997.

  To increase liquidity and to concentrate on the existing stores in Atlanta,
the Company decided in 1995 to sell a 17 acre tract of land in Nashville,
Tennessee (the "Nashville Property").  The Nashville Property was originally
purchased in October 1993 to construct a store.  The Company has entered into an
agreement for the sale of the Nashville Property  subject to various zoning
changes, which recently were approved.  Management believes that the sale will
close in the second quarter of fiscal 1997.  The contract for the Nashville
Property provides for net proceeds to the Company to be approximately equal to
book value.  In addition, several out-parcels at the Gwinnett megastore location
are being negotiated.  One sale closed in the 1997 Quarter and the second is
expected to close in the second quarter of fiscal 1997.  Such sales are expected
to impact profits positively by reducing the costs associated with the carrying
of such assets and by using the proceeds from the sales to reduce the Company's
indebtedness and, therefore, the related interest expenses.

  Subsequent to the end of the 1997 Quarter, the Company restructured its senior
credit facility.  The restructuring eliminated certain financial and other loan
covenant violations of the senior credit facility.  In addition, the
restructuring extended until maturity, or extension thereof, the lenders
agreement to forebear the declaration of a cross default as a result of the
breach of the covenant under the Mortgage Loan for the third quarter of fiscal
1996, which has yet to be waived by the lender.  The restructuring of the senior
credit facility will also, once the sale of the Nashville Property occurs,
permit the Company to borrow an additional $1.0 million for general corporate
purposes, including the repayment of indebtedness.

  In connection with the foregoing restructuring, the Company has amended
certain warrants held by the lenders by lowering the exercise price from $10.00
per share to $3.00 per share on 240,000 outstanding warrants.  The Company also
issued the lenders additional warrants to purchase 120,000 shares of Class A
common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share.

                                      -10-

  The Company's ability to fund its working capital and capital expenditure
requirements, make interest payments and meet its other cash requirements
depends, among other things, on internally generated funds and the continued
availability of and compliance with its credit facilities.  Management believes
that internally generated funds and its available credit facilities, as
restructured, will provide the Company with sufficient sources of funds to
satisfy its anticipated cash requirements in fiscal 1997.  However, if there is
a significant reduction of internally generated funds, the Company may require
funds from outside financing sources.  In such event, there can be no assurance
that the Company would be able to obtain such funding as and when required or on
acceptable terms.
