                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                AUGUST 2, 2000


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 August 2, 2000, and the results of operations and cash flows for the twenty-
six 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 fiscal
year ended February 2, 2000, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-
K filed by the Company.

Due to the seasonal nature of the Company's business, the results for the
quarter ended August 2, 2000, are not necessarily indicative of the results for
the entire 2001 fiscal year.

NOTE B - INVENTORIES

Inventories consist primarily of grocery items, which 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

Basic net earnings per common share are based upon the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted net earnings per common
share are based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
plus dilutive potential common shares, including options and warrants
outstanding during the period.  The following table sets forth the computation
of basic and diluted income (loss) per share.

NOTE D - CLAIMS AND LITIGATION

The Company is involved in various claims and litigation, which arise in the
ordinary course of business.  In the opinion of management, the amount of
ultimate liability with respect to current outstanding actions will not
materially affect the financial position of the Company.

NOTE E - EXTRAORDINARY LOSS

On March 16, 2000, the Company closed the sale of its distribution facility and
repaid the remaining $2,458,237 outstanding on the facility's mortgage.  The
Company incurred an extraordinary loss of $287,850 on the early repayment of the
note relating to prepayment fees and the write-off of deferred financing costs.

NOTE F - LINE OF CREDIT AVAILABILITY

In addition to the cash shown on the balance sheet, the Company had
approximately $1.6 million available on its line of credit at August 2, 2000.

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

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

Thirteen Weeks Ended August 2, 2000 (the "Second Quarter of Fiscal 2001")
compared to Thirteen Weeks Ended August 4, 1999 (the " Second Quarter of Fiscal
2000").

     Net sales for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2001 were approximately $35.3
million, compared to net sales of approximately $35.2 million for the Second
Quarter of Fiscal 2000. The sales increase of $0.1 million or approximately
0.3%, was due to a comparable store sales increase in the Second Quarter of
Fiscal 2001.

     Gross profits in the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2001 decreased slightly to
approximately $10.0 million or 28.4% of net sales, compared to approximately
$10.2 million or 29.0% of net sales in the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2000. The
decrease in gross profit dollars was largely due to a lower gross margin
percent.

     Direct store expenses remained relatively constant at approximately $6.0
million or 17.0 % of net sales in the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2001 compared to
approximately $5.9 million or 16.9% of net sales in the Second Quarter of Fiscal
2000.

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the Second Quarter of
Fiscal 2001 increased to $3.4 million or 9.6% of sales compared to $3.1 million
or 8.7% of sales in the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2000. The increase in selling,
general and administrative expense was due to higher wages associated with the
addition of new people, increased advertising, higher consulting and related
expenses and higher communication expenses.

     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) was $1.0 million or 2.9%
of sales for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2001 compared to $1.0 million or 2.9%
of sales for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2000. Increases in depreciation
expense due to new property additions were offset by assets becoming fully
depreciated and accordingly not having any depreciation expense associated with
them in the current period.

     Due to the reasons set forth above, the Company had an operating loss of
approximately $(0.4) million or 1.1% of net sales during the Second Quarter of
2001 compared to an operating profit of approximately $0.2 million or 0.5 % of
net sales in the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2000.

     Interest expense in the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2001 was approximately
$0.9 million or 2.7% of net sales compared to  $0.6 million or 1.6% of net sales
during the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2000.  The increase in interest expense was
due to a higher interest rate being paid on debt incurred in the Company's
refinancing during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000.  As a result of the
refinancing, the Company's preferred stock and convertible debt were retired at
substantial discounts.

     For the Second Quarters of Fiscal 2001 and 2000 no income tax provision was
necessary. The Company has unrecognized net operating loss carry forwards for
financial purposes of approximately $25.0 million as of the end of the Second
Quarter of Fiscal 2001 that may be applied against future earnings.

     As a result of the above, the Company had a net loss applicable to common
shareholders for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2001 of approximately $(1.1)
million or $(0.18) per common share - Basic, compared with net loss applicable
to common shareholders of approximately $(0.2) million or $(0.03) per common
share - Basic, during the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2000.


Twenty-Six Weeks Ended August 2, 2000 (the "First Half of Fiscal 2001") compared
to Twenty-Six Weeks Ended August 4, 1999 (the "First Half of Fiscal 2000").

     Net sales for the First Half of Fiscal 2001 were approximately $70.2
million compared to approximately $68.8 million for the First Half of Fiscal
2000. The sales increase of $1.4 million or approximately 2.0%, was due to
comparable store sales increases in the First Half of Fiscal 2001.

     Gross profits in the First Half of Fiscal 2001 increased to approximately
$20.0 million or 28.5% of net sales, compared to approximately $19.5 million or
28.4% of net sales in the First Half of Fiscal 2000. The increase in gross
profit dollars was largely due to increases in sales.

     Direct store expenses of approximately $11.8 million or 16.8% of net sales
in the First Half of Fiscal 2001 was consistent with the approximately $11.8
million or 17.1% of net sales in the First Half of Fiscal 2000.

          Selling, general and administrative expenses for the First Half of
Fiscal 2001 increased to $6.7 million or 9.6% of sales compared to $6.2 million
or 9.0% of sales in the First Half of Fiscal 2000.  The increase in selling,
general and administrative expense was due to higher wages associated with the
addition of new people, higher advertising costs, higher consulting and related
expenses and higher communication expenses.

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

     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) was $2.1 million or 2.9 %
of sales for the First Half of Fiscal 2001 compared to $2.1 million or 3.0% of
sales for the First Half of Fiscal 2000. Increases in depreciation expense due
to new property additions were offset by assets becoming fully depreciated and
accordingly not having any depreciation expense associated with them in the
current period.

     Due to the reasons set forth above, the Company had an operating loss of
approximately $(0.6) million or (0.8)% of net sales during the First Half of
2001 compared to an operating loss of approximately $(0.5) million or (0.7) % of
net sales in the First Half of Fiscal 2000.

     Interest expense increased to approximately $1.9 million or 2.8% of net
sales in the First Half of Fiscal 2001, compared to approximately $1.1 million
or 1.6% of net sales in the First Half of Fiscal 2000. The increase in interest
expense was due to a higher interest rate being paid on debt, which arose from
the Company's refinancing in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000.  As a result of
the refinancing, the Company's preferred stock and convertible debt were retired
at substantial discounts.

     Other income decreased to approximately $0.5 million or 0.7% of net sales
during the First Half of Fiscal 2001, from approximately $1.2 million or 1.8 %
of net sales in the First Half of Fiscal 2000. This decrease was primarily due
to the Company receiving, in the first quarter of fiscal 2000, approximately
$500,000 from the sale of certain property rights related to the use of a
billboard on one of the Company's properties.

     For the First Half of Fiscal 2001 and 2000 no income tax provision was
necessary. The Company has unrecognized net operating loss carry forwards for
financial purposes of approximately $25.0 million as of the end of the First
Half of Fiscal 2001 that may be applied against future earnings

     On March 16, 2000, the Company closed the sale of its distribution facility
and repaid the remaining $2,458,237 outstanding on the facility's mortgage. The
Company incurred an extraordinary loss of approximately $0.3 million on the
early repayment of the note relating to prepayment fees and the write-off of
deferred financing costs.

     As a result of the above, the Company had a net loss applicable to common
shareholders for the First Half of Fiscal 2001 of approximately $(2.3) million
or $(0.37) per common share - Basic, compared with net loss applicable to common
shareholders of approximately $(0.4) million or $(0.07) per common share -
Basic, during the First Half of Fiscal 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's cash requirements are based upon its seasonal working capital
needs and capital requirements for capitalized additions and improvements and
expansions.

     As of August 2, 2000, the Company had current assets of approximately $11.2
million and current liabilities of approximately $9.2 million, resulting in a
net working capital position of $2.0 million. The Company had approximately $1.6
million as of August 2, 2000 available under its revolving credit facility.

     Net cash used in operating activities for the First Half of Fiscal 2001 was
approximately $0.05 million. The use of cash for the First Half of Fiscal 2001
is mainly attributable to a decrease in the Company's trade accounts payable of
approximately $1.6 million. EBITDA, which is defined as earnings (excluding one
time nonrecurring charges or income) before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization, decreased from approximately $2.5 million in the First Half of
Fiscal 2000 to approximately $2.2 million in First Half of Fiscal 2001.
Management believes that EBITDA is a measurement commonly used by analysts and
investors. Accordingly, this information has been presented to permit a more
complete analysis; however, EBITDA as reported may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures used by other companies. EBITDA should not be
considered a substitute for net income or cash flow data prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles or as a measure of profitability
or liquidity.

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

     Based on the terms of the Company's credit facility, management currently
believes principal and interest payments in fiscal 2001 will be approximately
$4.2 million. In addition, the Company currently plans to spend approximately
$1.0 million on capital improvements.

     Management believes that with the Company's working capital surplus and
availability under its line of credit and if the Company generates EBITDA in
fiscal 2001 roughly equal to or more than the approximately $6.0 million of
EBITDA it generated in fiscal 2000, then the Company should meet its cash
requirements for operations and projected capital expenditures through fiscal
2001.

     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 the availability of 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 will provide the Company with sufficient sources of funds to satisfy
its anticipated cash requirements in fiscal 2001. However, such forward-looking
statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors which could
cause actual results to differ materially from results expressed or implied by
such forward looking statements. Potential risks and uncertainties include, but
are not limited to: economic conditions, changes in consumer spending, weather,
competition, changes in the rate of inflation, potential sales by the Company of
certain out-parcels and other assets, the inability to develop new stores as
planned and other uncertainties that may occur from time to time. In the event
of any 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.
