NOTE 1 - GENERAL

General
--------

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SFW
Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries, (collectively "SFW"
or the "Company") for the 13 weeks ended October 27, 2001 ("third quarter
2002"), the 39 weeks ended October 27, 2001 ("year to date 2002"), the 13 weeks
ended October 28, 2000 ("third quarter 2001"), and the 39 weeks ended October
28, 2000 ("year to date 2001"). All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated. Shoppers, the Company's operating subsidiary,
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 October
27, 2001, and for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 27, 2001, and October
28, 2000, have not been audited. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in the 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 October
27, 2001, and the results of its operations for the 13-week and 39-week periods
ended October 27, 2001, and October 28, 2000, respectively.

Use of Estimates in Financial Statements
----------------------------------------

The preparation of 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 previous year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current
year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net earnings or
total stockholder's equity.

Forward Looking Statements
--------------------------

Statements in this report that are not historical in nature, including
references to beliefs, anticipations or expectations, are "forward-looking"
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Such statements
are subject to a wide variety of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those projected including, without limitation,
the ability of the Company (as defined above) to open new stores, the effect of
regional economic conditions, the effect of increased competition in the markets
in which the Company operates and other risks described from time to time in the
Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Company
undertakes no obligation and does not intend to update, revise or otherwise
publicly release  any revisions to these forward-looking statements, which
revisions may be made to reflect any future events or circumstances, other than
through its regular quarterly and annual reports filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

Results of Operations
---------------------

RESULTS FOR THE QUARTER:
------------------------

Sales were $240.4 million for third quarter 2002, compared to $219.1 million for
third quarter 2001, an increase of 9.8%. The sales increase was primarily due to
the opening of two new stores in fourth quarter 2001, as well as an increase of
3.3% in comparable store sales.

Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, remained relatively consistent at 26.0%
in third quarter 2002, compared to 25.9% in third quarter 2001.

Selling and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, increased
slightly to 22.4% for third quarter 2002, compared to 22.0% for third quarter
2001. The increase is primarily due to higher union health insurance expense.

Operating income was $8.7 million for third quarter 2002, compared to $8.5
million for third quarter 2001. The increase was primarily due to the increases
in sales and gross profit, substantially offset by higher selling and
administrative expenses.

Interest expense increased approximately $0.5 million from $3.5 million during
third quarter 2001, to $4.0 million during third quarter 2002. The increase in
interest expense was due to an increase in capital lease obligations relating to
the new stores.

The effective income tax rate for third quarter 2002 was 49.6%, compared to
50.3% for third quarter 2001.

Net income was $2.9 million during third quarter 2002, compared to $3.0 million
during third quarter 2001, a decrease of 3.9%.

YEAR TO DATE RESULTS:
---------------------

Sales were $719.3 million year to date 2002, compared to $658.7 million year to
date 2001, an increase of 9.2%. The sales increase was primarily due to the
opening of two new stores in fourth quarter 2001, as well as an increase of 1.7%
in comparable store sales.

Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, increased to 25.7% year to date 2002,
compared to 25.3% year to date 2001. The increase is primarily due to improved
merchandising activities.

Selling and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, increased
slightly to 22.0% year to date 2002, compared to 21.7% year to date 2001. The
increase is primarily due to higher union health insurance expense.

Operating income was $26.6 million year to date 2002, compared to $23.2 million
year to date 2001. The increase was primarily due to the increases in sales and
gross profit, partially offset by higher selling and administrative expenses.

Interest income increased by approximately $0.4 million year to date 2002 from
$3.4 million year to date 2001 to $3.8 million year to date 2002 due to an
increase in the outstanding balance of the note receivable.

Interest expense increased approximately $0.9 million from $10.8 million year to
date 2001, to $11.7 million year to date 2002. The increase in interest expense
was due to an increase in capital lease obligations relating to the new stores.

The effective income tax rate for year to date 2002 was 49.9%, compared to 51.2%
for year to date 2001. The decrease is primarily attributable to increased
taxable earnings in relation to the fixed amount of non-deductible goodwill
associated with the SUPERVALU acquisition.
<PAGE>

Net income was $9.3 million year to date 2002, compared to $7.7 million year to
date 2001, an increase of 20.8%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

Year-to date 2002, operating activities generated net cash of $39.0 million,
compared to generating $14.9 million year to date 2001. The increase was
primarily due to a reduction in working capital of $21.8 million year to date
2002, compared to year to date 2001.

Investing activities used $5.8 million year to date 2002, compared to using
$13.9 million year to date 2001. The change reflects lower capital expenditures
of $3.0 million, compared to year to date 2001.

Financing activities primarily reflect the payment to affiliated companies of
$33.6 million year to date 2002, compared to $0.6 million year to date 2001.

The Company believes that cash flows from its operations as well as cash
provided by affiliated companies will be adequate to meet its anticipated
requirements for working capital, debt service and capital expenditures.


New accounting standards
------------------------

In June 2001 the Financial Accounting Standards Board approved Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."
SFAS No. 142 requires companies to cease amortizing goodwill that existed at
June 30, 2001. For the Company, this amortization of existing goodwill will
cease on January 26, 2002. Any goodwill resulting from an acquisition completed
after June 30, 2001 will not be amortized. SFAS No. 142 also establishes a new
method of testing goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or on an interim
basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would reduce the fair
value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. The adoption of SFAS No. 142
will result in the discontinuation of amortization of goodwill and goodwill will
be tested for impairment under the new standard beginning in the first quarter
of fiscal 2003.

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 143,
"Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," which addresses financial
accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of
tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The
standard applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-
lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or
normal use of the asset. Statement No. 143 requires that the fair value of a
liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in
which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The
Company is required and plans to adopt the provisions of Statement No. 143 in
the first quarter of fiscal 2004.

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board approved Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 addresses the financial accounting
and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 121 "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of".
However, this statement retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121 for
(a) recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be
held and used and (b) measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by
sale.

SFAS No. 144 also supersedes the accounting and reporting provisions of APB
Opinion No. 30 "Reporting the Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of
Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently
Occurring Events and Transactions" for the disposal of a segment of a business.
However, this Statement retains the requirement of APB No. 30 to report
discontinued operations separately from continuing operations and extends that
reporting to a component of an entity that either has been disposed of or is
classified as held for sale. This statement also amends ARB No. 51,
"Consolidated Financial Statements" to eliminate the exception to consolidation
for a temporarily controlled subsidiary. The Company is required and plans to
adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 144 in the first quarter of fiscal 2003.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
-------  ----------------------------------------------------------

The registrant's market risk exposure is not material. Interest on both the
Company's notes receivable and Senior Notes are at fixed rates. The market value
of the fixed rate notes is subject to change due to fluctuations in market
interest rates. The Company does not have any other financial instruments that
result in material exposure to interest rate risk.

NOTE 1 - GENERAL

General
--------

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SFW
Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries, (collectively "SFW"
or the "Company") for the 13 weeks ended October 27, 2001 ("third quarter
2002"), the 39 weeks ended October 27, 2001 ("year to date 2002"), the 13 weeks
ended October 28, 2000 ("third quarter 2001"), and the 39 weeks ended October
28, 2000 ("year to date 2001"). All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated. Shoppers, the Company's operating subsidiary,
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 October
27, 2001, and for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 27, 2001, and October
28, 2000, have not been audited. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in the 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 October
27, 2001, and the results of its operations for the 13-week and 39-week periods
ended October 27, 2001, and October 28, 2000, respectively.

Use of Estimates in Financial Statements
----------------------------------------

The preparation of 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 previous year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current
year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net earnings or
total stockholder's equity.

Forward Looking Statements
--------------------------

Statements in this report that are not historical in nature, including
references to beliefs, anticipations or expectations, are "forward-looking"
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Such statements
are subject to a wide variety of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those projected including, without limitation,
the ability of the Company (as defined above) to open new stores, the effect of
regional economic conditions, the effect of increased competition in the markets
in which the Company operates and other risks described from time to time in the
Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Company
undertakes no obligation and does not intend to update, revise or otherwise
publicly release  any revisions to these forward-looking statements, which
revisions may be made to reflect any future events or circumstances, other than
through its regular quarterly and annual reports filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
Results of Operations
---------------------

RESULTS FOR THE QUARTER:
------------------------

Sales were $240.4 million for third quarter 2002, compared to $219.1 million for
third quarter 2001, an increase of 9.8%. The sales increase was primarily due to
the opening of two new stores in fourth quarter 2001, as well as an increase of
3.3% in comparable store sales.

Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, remained relatively consistent at 26.0%
in third quarter 2002, compared to 25.9% in third quarter 2001.

Selling and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, increased
slightly to 22.4% for third quarter 2002, compared to 22.0% for third quarter
2001. The increase is primarily due to higher union health insurance expense.

Operating income was $8.7 million for third quarter 2002, compared to $8.5
million for third quarter 2001. The increase was primarily due to the increases
in sales and gross profit, substantially offset by higher selling and
administrative expenses.

Interest expense increased approximately $0.5 million from $3.5 million during
third quarter 2001, to $4.0 million during third quarter 2002. The increase in
interest expense was due to an increase in capital lease obligations relating to
the new stores.

The effective income tax rate for third quarter 2002 was 49.6%, compared to
50.3% for third quarter 2001.

Net income was $2.9 million during third quarter 2002, compared to $3.0 million
during third quarter 2001, a decrease of 3.9%.

YEAR TO DATE RESULTS:
---------------------

Sales were $719.3 million year to date 2002, compared to $658.7 million year to
date 2001, an increase of 9.2%. The sales increase was primarily due to the
opening of two new stores in fourth quarter 2001, as well as an increase of 1.7%
in comparable store sales.

Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, increased to 25.7% year to date 2002,
compared to 25.3% year to date 2001. The increase is primarily due to improved
merchandising activities.

Selling and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, increased
slightly to 22.0% year to date 2002, compared to 21.7% year to date 2001. The
increase is primarily due to higher union health insurance expense.

Operating income was $26.6 million year to date 2002, compared to $23.2 million
year to date 2001. The increase was primarily due to the increases in sales and
gross profit, partially offset by higher selling and administrative expenses.

Interest income increased by approximately $0.4 million year to date 2002 from
$3.4 million year to date 2001 to $3.8 million year to date 2002 due to an
increase in the outstanding balance of the note receivable.

Interest expense increased approximately $0.9 million from $10.8 million year to
date 2001, to $11.7 million year to date 2002. The increase in interest expense
was due to an increase in capital lease obligations relating to the new stores.

The effective income tax rate for year to date 2002 was 49.9%, compared to 51.2%
for year to date 2001. The decrease is primarily attributable to increased
taxable earnings in relation to the fixed amount of non-deductible goodwill
associated with the SUPERVALU acquisition.
Net income was $9.3 million year to date 2002, compared to $7.7 million year to
date 2001, an increase of 20.8%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

Year-to date 2002, operating activities generated net cash of $39.0 million,
compared to generating $14.9 million year to date 2001. The increase was
primarily due to a reduction in working capital of $21.8 million year to date
2002, compared to year to date 2001.

Investing activities used $5.8 million year to date 2002, compared to using
$13.9 million year to date 2001. The change reflects lower capital expenditures
of $3.0 million, compared to year to date 2001.

Financing activities primarily reflect the payment to affiliated companies of
$33.6 million year to date 2002, compared to $0.6 million year to date 2001.

The Company believes that cash flows from its operations as well as cash
provided by affiliated companies will be adequate to meet its anticipated
requirements for working capital, debt service and capital expenditures.

New accounting standards
------------------------

In June 2001 the Financial Accounting Standards Board approved Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."
SFAS No. 142 requires companies to cease amortizing goodwill that existed at
June 30, 2001. For the Company, this amortization of existing goodwill will
cease on January 26, 2002. Any goodwill resulting from an acquisition completed
after June 30, 2001 will not be amortized. SFAS No. 142 also establishes a new
method of testing goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or on an interim
basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would reduce the fair
value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. The adoption of SFAS No. 142
will result in the discontinuation of amortization of goodwill and goodwill will
be tested for impairment under the new standard beginning in the first quarter
of fiscal 2003.

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 143,
"Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," which addresses financial
accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of
tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The
standard applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-
lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or
normal use of the asset. Statement No. 143 requires that the fair value of a
liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in
which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The
Company is required and plans to adopt the provisions of Statement No. 143 in
the first quarter of fiscal 2004.

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board approved Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 addresses the financial accounting
and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 121 "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of".
However, this statement retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121 for
(a) recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be
held and used and (b) measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by
sale.

SFAS No. 144 also supersedes the accounting and reporting provisions of APB
Opinion No. 30 "Reporting the Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of
Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently
Occurring Events and Transactions" for the disposal of a segment of a business.
However, this Statement retains the requirement of APB No. 30 to report
discontinued operations separately from continuing operations and extends that
reporting to a component of an entity that either has been disposed of or is
classified as held for sale. This statement also amends ARB No. 51,
"Consolidated Financial Statements" to eliminate the exception to consolidation
for a temporarily controlled subsidiary. The Company is required and plans to
adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 144 in the first quarter of fiscal 2003.
ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
-------  ----------------------------------------------------------

The registrant's market risk exposure is not material. Interest on both the
Company's notes receivable and Senior Notes are at fixed rates. The market value
of the fixed rate notes is subject to change due to fluctuations in market
interest rates. The Company does not have any other financial instruments that
result in material exposure to interest rate risk.
