                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                PUEBLO XTRA INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                                   (UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1 -- INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         With respect to the unaudited financial information for each of the 16
weeks ended May 18, 1996 and May 20, 1995, it is the opinion of management of
Pueblo Xtra International, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively,
the "Company") that the adjustments necessary to prepare a fair statement of the
results for such interim periods have been included. Such adjustments were of a
normal and recurring nature, or as a result of the strategic measures
implemented by the Company described in Note (2)--Unusual Charges or the
business combination described in Note (3)--Acquisitions of the audited
consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended January 27, 1996 filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (hereinafter referred to as the "Form 10-K"). The unaudited financial
information should be read in conjunction with the Company's Form 10-K. The
consolidated balance sheet at January 27, 1996 included herein has been derived
from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements.

         Operating results for the 16-week periods ended May 18, 1996 and May
20, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the
full fiscal years. The Company's fiscal year ends on the last Saturday in
January.

NOTE 2 -- INVENTORY

         The results of the Company's operations reflect the application of the
last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method of valuing certain inventories of grocery,
non-food and dairy products. Since an actual valuation of inventories under the
LIFO method is only made at the end of a fiscal year based on inventory levels
and costs at that time, interim LIFO calculations are based on management's
estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs and are subject to
year-end adjustments.

NOTE 3 -- DEBT

         During April 1996, the Company amended the credit facility consisting
of $115.0 million in term loans and a maximum of $60.0 million in revolving
loans (the "Credit Facility") with a syndicate of banks led by The Chase
Manhattan Bank (National Association) and Scotiabank de Puerto Rico. In
accordance with the terms of the amendment, the sole shareholder of the Company,
PXC&M Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings"), contributed $5.0 million in additional
capital to the Company on April 18, 1996 which was immediately used to reduce
the Company's term loans under the Credit Facility. In addition, in connection
with the amendment of the Credit Facility, Holdings has agreed to provide $10.0
million in additional funds to the Company by October 18, 1996 in return for
interest-bearing redeemable subordinated notes bearing interest at a rate not to
exceed that of the Credit Facility, plus 1%. Final maturity of such subordinated
notes will be after the expiration of the Credit Facility and may be redeemed
earlier subject to the Company meeting various performance and financial
criteria. Pursuant to the amendment, the Company may maintain the level of its
$60.0 million revolving facility during the remaining term of the credit
agreement, under certain circumstances. The amendment also provides certain
revised financial covenant requirements and a modification in the Company's
scheduled principal payments of the Credit Facility during the next two fiscal
years.

         and amortization. EBITDA, as disclosed herein, is neither a measurement
         pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) nor a
         measurement of operating results and is included for informative
         purposes only.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The Company operated 52 supermarkets and 22 BLOCKBUSTER video stores
throughout Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands as of May 18, 1996 as
compared to 56 supermarkets and 22 BLOCKBUSTER video stores in Puerto Rico,
Florida and the U.S. Virgin Islands at May 20, 1995. Since the end of the
comparable quarter of the prior year, the Company has closed all eight XTRA
stores in Florida as part of its restructuring measures, which included closing
the Florida operating division, and has also opened three new XTRA stores in
Puerto Rico and one new PUEBLO store in the U.S. Virgin Islands. There were no
new store openings during the 16 weeks ended May 18, 1996.

         Pursuant to the strategic restructuring measures implemented by
management during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996 and discussed in detail in
the Company's Form 10-K in Part II, Item 7 thereto, and in Note (2)-- Unusual
Charges of the notes to the Company's consolidated financial statements
referenced in Part II, Item 8 thereto, the Company has completed the closing of
all of its stores in Florida; the last XTRA store was closed on April 30, 1996.
Management continues to believe that its decision to exit the underperforming
Florida retail market will contribute toward improvements in future consolidated
operating results.

         Net sales for the 16-week period ended May 18, 1996 decreased by $41.7
million, or 11.8%, in comparison to the same period last year. A major factor
for this reduction was the closing of the Florida retail operations. Same store
sales for the 16-week period decreased by 1.5%. The reduction in comparable
store sales was attributable to the supermarket operations in Puerto Rico. The
U.S. Virgin Islands supermarket operations and the Blockbuster video store
operations produced favorable sales results. The effects of competition on the
island continue to impact sales in Puerto Rico. The improvement in sales
performance in the U.S. Virgin Islands began in the fourth quarter of fiscal
1996 and is expected by management to continue in the future.

         As part of certain strategic measures implemented by the Company in
Puerto Rico, the Company launched a major advertising campaign during this
quarter designed to reemphasize the differences between the store formats
offered to customers. Stores operating under the XTRA format, which are
typically larger and stress everyday low prices, usually appeal to the more
price-conscious families. Stores operating under the PUEBLO format are
conventional supermarkets with an emphasis on high quality products, service 
and selection and tend to attract a different consumer group than would an 
XTRA store.

         Gross profit margin, as a percentage of sales, was 25.8% and 26.5% for
the 16 weeks ended May 18, 1996 and May 20, 1995, respectively. The decrease in
gross margin for the 16-week period compared to the prior year was primarily a
result of an increase in retail shrink as well as unfavorable margin in the meat
department.

         The favorable reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses
was experienced in both direct store selling expenses as well as general and
administrative expenses. The decrease in selling expenses principally occurred
as a result of improved labor costs partially offset by higher advertising and
promotion expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased on a constant
dollar basis and as a percentage of sales primarily due to reduced labor costs.

         The $1.3 million decrease in depreciation and amortization was
primarily due to the closing of the Florida retail operations effective December
30, 1995 (the "Florida Closing") which included the reclassification of its
related depreciable assets to a non-depreciable category, assets held for sale.

         Interest expense, net of interest and investment income, decreased by
$0.5 million principally due to lower interest expense on capital lease
obligations largely caused by the Florida Closing.

         The income tax benefit for the 16 weeks ended May 18, 1996 was
relatively comparable to that of the same period of the prior year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Company operations have historically provided a sufficient cash flow
which, along with the available credit facility, provides adequate liquidity to
the Company.

         Net cash used in operating activities increased from $1.9 million for
the prior year comparable quarter to $28.1 million for the 16-week period ended
May 18, 1996. The increase of $26.2 million was due to cash outlays associated
with the closing of the Florida retail operations combined with changes in
working capital as a result of timing of receipts and disbursements.

         The working capital deficit decreased $7.0 million for the 16-week
period ended May 18, 1996 from a deficit of $31.1 million at January 27, 1996 to
a deficit of $24.1 million at May 18, 1996. Primary factors contributing to this
decrease in the working capital deficit were the payment of certain obligations
relating to

                                       -9-
<PAGE>


the closing of retail operations in Florida financed, in part, by the sale of
certain assets in the Florida operating division as well as the timing of
certain receipts and disbursements.

         Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $9.7 million
and $(2.9) million for the 16 weeks ended May 18, 1996 and May 20, 1995,
respectively. The majority of this $12.6 million increase pertains to proceeds
received during the current quarter for the sale of two XTRA stores in Florida.
The monies expended for the capital program were related to remodeling of
certain existing locations.

         Of the $60.0 million revolving facility, $22.7 million was outstanding
($14.0 million of which were Section 936 funds) and $24.8 million was utilized
in the form of standby letters of credit, with $12.5 million available to the
Company at May 18, 1996. The Company classified as noncurrent $9.0 million under
the revolving credit facility as a result of its intent to maintain this
obligation on a long-term basis. The Credit Facility matures on July 31, 2000.
The term loans of the Credit Facility are reduced over the term of the facility
on a graduated basis in accordance with the credit agreement. Included in the
$101.7 million outstanding under the Credit Facility, consisting of $79.0
million in term loans and $22.7 million in revolving loans, as of May 18, 1996
are scheduled principal payments aggregating $18.7 million due under the term
loans of the Credit Facility in the succeeding 12-month period. To the extent
that cash flows from operations are less than the cash requirements of the
Company in the near term, it may be necessary to borrow additional amounts under
the revolving credit facility.

         Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $11.4 million
and $(3.4) million for the 16 weeks ended May 18, 1996 and May 20, 1995,
respectively. During the current quarter, the Company amended its credit
agreement with its bank syndicate (the "Amendment"). In accordance with the
terms of the Amendment, additional capital of $5.0 million was contributed by
Holdings, the sole shareholder of the Company, on April 18, 1996 with the
proceeds thereof used to reduce the Company's term loans under the Credit
Facility. In addition, the Company had net borrowings under the revolving
facility of the Credit Facility of $13.7 million principally resulting from
timing of receipts and disbursements, in part due to the closing of the Florida
retail operations.

         In connection with the Amendment, which was executed in April 1996,
Holdings has agreed to lend the Company $10.0 million in return for the issuance
of interest-bearing redeemable subordinated notes (the "Subordinated Notes") by
October 18, 1996 with the proceeds therefrom to be used to reduce the Company's
term loans under the Credit Facility. The Subordinated Notes will bear interest
at a rate not in excess of 1.0% above that of the Credit Facility and will
mature after the expiration of the Credit Facility although the Subordinated
Notes may be redeemed earlier subject to the Company meeting various performance
and financial criteria. Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company may maintain the
level of its $60.0 million revolving facility during the remaining term of the
credit agreement, under certain circumstances. In addition, the Amendment
provides certain revised financial covenant requirements and adjustments to the
Company's scheduled principal payments of the Credit Facility during the next
two fiscal years.

         The Company expects to continue to realize significant losses in the
future, much of which pertains to depreciation and amortization and interest
expense related to the July 1993 transaction described in Note (3)--Acquisitions
to the Company's Form 10-K; therefore, it anticipates that it will continue to
have an accumulated earnings deficit that will increase in the foreseeable
future. The Company's future results of operations will be affected by its
ability to react to changes in the competitive environment. However, management
believes that competition and the accumulated earnings deficit will not
significantly affect its ability to fund its liquidity and capital needs.

         The Company believes that it will be able to meet its current and 
long-term liquidity and capital requirements through the cash flows generated by
its normal business operations and its available revolving

                                      -10-

credit facility.
