(1)  The pro forma net income and pro forma net income per share reflect the tax
     adjustment for the fiscal 1999 merger with Henry's Marketplace, Inc. in a
     pooling of interests transaction, which included entities that were
     previously not taxable, as if Henry's had filed C corporation tax returns
     for all periods presented. For the quarter ended April 3, 1999, the pro
     forma net income and pro forma net income per share also exclude
     non-recurring expenses and the cumulative effect of change in accounting
     principle.
