                  Super Food Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries

                  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


1.   Financial Statements -

       The condensed financial statements included herein have
       been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to
       the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
       Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures
       normally included in financial statements prepared in
       accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
       have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
       regulations, although the Company believes that the
       disclosures are adequate to make the information
       presented not misleading.  It is suggested that these
       condensed financial statements be read in conjunction
       with the financial statements and the notes thereto
       included in the Company's latest annual report on Form
       10-K.


2.   Accounting Policies -

       The interim financial information presented in this
       report has been prepared in accordance with the account-
       ing policies described in the Notes to the Company's
       financial statements filed on the most recent Form 10-K. 
       While management believes that the procedures followed in
       the preparation of interim information are reasonable,
       the accuracy of some estimated amounts is dependent upon
       facts that will exist or calculations that will be accom-
       plished later in the fiscal year.  Examples of such
       estimates (none individually significant) include unpaid
       expenses not invoiced and pension costs.  In addition, an
       amount is expensed ratably for possible inventory shrink-
       age (based on prior experience and is adjusted to actual
       twice during the fiscal year) and to adjust the LIFO
       reserve (based upon the Company's best estimate of infla-
       tion to date).

       The information included in this Form 10-Q reflects all
       adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature and,
       in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair state-
       ment of the results of operations for the period
       presented.


3.   Reclassifications -

       Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years'
       amounts to make them comparable with the classifications
       of such amounts for fiscal year 1994.



                                                                             8
4.   Florida Division Closing -

       In the third quarter of Fiscal 1992, the Company recorded
       a special pretax charge of $22,986,000 in connection with
       the closing of the Company's Florida Division and the
       disposition of its assets.  The closing was required as
       a result of the loss by the Florida Division of its
       single largest customer, Albertson's, Inc.,
       ("Albertsons") which accounted for approximately 85% of
       the sales of the Florida Division.  This charge included
       provisions primarily for losses incurred on the disposi-
       tion of the inventory and fixed assets, the estimated
       portion of the remaining lease obligations and the
       related operating costs necessary to maintain the Florida
       warehouse facilities until tenants can be found, litiga-
       tion costs in connection with the Company's lawsuit
       against Albertsons, and other costs relating to the
       closing.  This provision was based on management's best
       estimate and judgment under the prevailing circumstances
       but management believes such provision will adequately
       provide for the costs associated with disposition of the
       Florida assets and operations.

       The Company's lawsuit against Albertsons was filed on
       March 30, 1992, in the Ninth Judicial Circuit Court of
       Orange County, Florida.  Initially, the Company sought to
       enjoin Albertsons temporarily from proceeding with its
       plans to self-distribute in Florida and to obtain spec-
       ific performance of Albertsons agreement to purchase the
       assets of the Florida Division in settlement of the
       Company's claims against Albertsons.  The Court declined
       to issue an injunction, holding that the Company had an
       adequate remedy at law for damages if it proved that
       Albertsons had violated its obligations to the Company,
       and this decision was affirmed on appeal.  The Company
       filed an amended complaint seeking monetary damages for
       Albertsons breach of the requirements contract between
       the parties or, in the alternative, damages for
       Albertsons failure to honor the settlement agreement
       between the parties relating to the purchase by
       Albertsons of the assets of the Company's Florida
       Division.  On March 29, 1994, the Company and Albertsons
       entered into a joint stipulation to the entry of a final
       judgment on the Company's claim for breach of the
       requirements contract after the Court had ruled that if
       a requirements contract existed between the parties, it
       was terminable by either party upon reasonable notice and
       that the issue to be tried would be limited as to whether
       Albertsons notice of termination was reasonable, which
       the Company did not allege as an issue on the lawsuit. 
       On March 31, 1994, the Court granted Albertsons' motion
       for summary judgment on the Company's claims that
       Albertsons failed to honor the settlement agreement
       between the parties.  The Company filed an appeal of the
       Court's rulings and the case is presently pending in the
       District Court of Appeal of the Florida Fifth District. 
       Oral arguments on the appeal were heard on December 13,
       1994 and the Company is now awaiting the Court of Appeals
       decision.
                                                                             9


5.   Subsequent Event -

       On December 10, 1994, the Company prepaid the entire
       $5,571,000 principal balance of the 9.65% Senior Note to
       Teachers Insurance Annuity Association of America, plus
       accrued interest and a prepayment premium.

                    Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                 Financial Condition and Results of Operations


The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.  All dollar
information is in thousands, except per share amounts:

First Quarter Comparisons

                                             1995         1994       % Change 
Sales and Other Income                     $271,241     $271,132        .04%  

This slight increase in sales resulted primarily from a sluggish
economy and competitive pressures.

                                             1995         1994       % Change 
Cost of Sales                              $258,467     $259,034       (.22%) 

Cost of sales includes cost of the products distributed as well as
warehouse, delivery and building expenses.  The Company experienced
higher warehouse expenses ($137) and lower delivery expenses ($46). 
Building costs increased ($60) because of higher storage costs and
increases in certain real estate taxes.  In addition, the Company
experienced slightly higher margins as a result of a favorable
shift in product mix.

                                             1995         1994       % Change 
Selling, general and
  administrative expenses                  $  8,048     $  7,708       4.41%  

Expenses increased by $340 due primarily to higher provision for
doubtful accounts ($95), and an increase in compensation and
employee benefits ($180).

                                             1995         1994       % Change 
Interest expense                           $    810     $    684      18.42%  

Interest expense increased due to higher interest rates as well as
higher borrowing levels of short-term debt.

                                             1995         1994                
Effective tax rate                            39.2%        38.9%              

The Company's effective tax rate shows a slight increase due to
state refunds received in the first quarter of fiscal 1994.

                                                                            11


                                             1995         1994                
Net Income                                 $  2,381     $  2,261              
Earnings per common share                  $    .22     $    .21              

As reported, the Company's earnings to sales ratio increased from
.83% in the first quarter of fiscal 1994 to .88% in the first
quarter of fiscal 1995.


                               As of and for the 12 Weeks

Working Capital                 92,023          95,927           93,432   
Long-term debt                  29,548          32,987           31,602

  financing                     16,670          11,413   

The Company's financial condition remained strong as of
November 19, 1994.  The current ratio was 2:03 to 1.

Since fiscal year-end 1994, net receivables increased by $14,265
and inventories increased by $17,988 due to the seasonality of the
business.  The Company experienced minimal price decreases on
products distributed during the first quarter of fiscal 1995.  To
support the higher levels of receivables and inventory, the Company
borrowed from its banks an additional $20,000 since year-end.  In
addition, the Company's accounts payable level increased by $1,593
in conjunction with the additional inventory purchases.

Depreciation and amortization of property, equipment and capital
leases increased to $1,706 in fiscal 1995 compared to $1,704 in
fiscal 1994.  Total capital expenditures for the twelve weeks ended
November 19, 1994 were $1,219 compared to $3,268 during the first
quarter of fiscal 1994.  The decrease from the prior year resulted
primarily from the Bridgeport warehouse addition ($1,994) which was
completed by August 27, 1994.

The dividend on common shares was increased from $.09 to $.095
effective with the dividend paid on December 15, 1994.
