NOTE 1—GENERAL
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Shoppers Food Warehouse Corp. (a Delaware corporation) and its subsidiaries, (collectively "Shoppers" or the "Company") for the 13 weeks
ended April 27, 2002 ("first quarter 2003"), and the 13 weeks ended April 28, 2001 ("first quarter 2002"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Shoppers operates in one business segment.
The Company is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of SUPERVALU INC. ("SUPERVALU").
The accompanying
consolidated financial statements of the Company as of April 27, 2002, and for the first quarter 2003 and the first quarter 2002, have not been audited. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted from the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which include normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of April 27, 2002, and the results of its operations for the first quarter 2003 and the first quarter 2002.
Use of Estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year's financial statements to conform to the 2003 presentation. These reclassifications did not affect results of operations as previously
reported.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) approved Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets." SFAS 142 requires companies to cease amortizing goodwill and test at least annually for impairment. For Shoppers, amortization of goodwill ceased on January 27, 2002, at which time it was tested for impairment. Shoppers has one
reporting unit that was tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets as of January 27, 2002. Fair value was determined based on a valuation study performed by
the Company which primarily considered the discounted cash flow method. As a result of this impairment test, Shoppers recorded no impairment loss.
The following schedule reconciles net earnings to adjusted net earnings, which excludes amortization expense, for the first quarter ended April 28, 2001, prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 142:

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." Shoppers adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 144 effective January 27, 2002. Shoppers tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of its assets with the carrying value. Fair value was determined based on a
valuation study performed by the Company which primarily considered the undiscounted cash flow method. As a result of this impairment test, Shoppers recorded no impairment loss.
NOTE 2—SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Senior
Notes Due 2004
On May 16, 2002, the Company provided notice to the holders of the Senior Notes that on June
17, 2002 the Company would redeem the outstanding Senior Notes at the redemption price of 102.4375% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes, plus any accrued interest and unpaid interest. The Company will redeem these Senior Notes with cash
provided by SUPERVALU.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales were $246.8 million for the first quarter 2003, compared to $235.9 million for the first quarter 2002, an increase of 4.6 percent. The sales increase was primarily due to positive comparable
store sales for the first quarter 2003.
Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, increased to 26.7 percent for
the first quarter 2003, compared to 24.8 percent for the first quarter 2002. The increase is primarily due to a change in product mix.
Selling and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales, increased to 21.9 percent for the first quarter 2003, compared to 21.8 percent for the first quarter 2002. Excluding goodwill amortization, selling and
administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, were 21.0 percent for the first quarter 2002. The increase is due to higher wages and benefits costs associated with negotiated union rates and higher maintenance and occupancy costs.
Operating income, as a percentage of net sales, increased to 4.8 percent for the first quarter 2003, compared to 3.0 percent
for the first quarter 2002. The increase was primarily due to an increase in gross profit on the increased sales activity and the adoption of SFAS No. 142.
Interest income and interest expense remained relatively flat during the first quarter 2003 as compared to the first quarter 2002, as expected.
The effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2003 was 39.2 percent, compared to 57.1 percent for the first quarter 2002. The decrease is primarily attributable
to the adoption of SFAS No. 142 in the first quarter 2003.
Net income was $5.8 million during the first quarter
2003, compared to $2.0 million during the first quarter 2002.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the first quarter 2003, operating activities generated net cash of $11.1 million, compared to generating $20.5 million during the
first quarter 2002. The decrease was primarily due to the change in working capital year to date 2003, compared to year to date 2002.
Cash used in investing activities was $6.1 million during the first quarter 2003 compared to $2.2 million during the first quarter 2002. The increase in cash used in investing activities is attributable to capital
expenditures related to a store remodel and a store opening subsequent to the first quarter 2003.
Cash used in
financing activities was $8.2 million during the first quarter 2003 compared to $17.1 million during the first quarter 2002. This activity reflects transfers made to affiliated companies of $8.0 million during the first quarter 2003,
7
compared to $16.9 million during the first quarter 2002. The decrease in cash transferred to affiliates was primarily driven by a decrease in
cash provided by operating activities that is utilized to make transfers to affiliates.
On May 16, 2002, the
Company provided notice to the holders of the Senior Notes that on June 17, 2002 the Company would redeem the outstanding Senior Notes at the redemption price of 102.4375% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes, plus any accrued interest and
unpaid interest. The Company will redeem these Senior Notes with cash provided by SUPERVALU.
Management expects
that the Company will continue to replenish operating assets with internally generated funds, as well as with cash provided by affiliated companies. The Company's financing abilities are believed to be adequate as a supplement to internally
generated cash flows to meet its anticipated requirements for working capital, debt service and capital expenditures.
