periods ended March 26, 2005 and March 27, 2004. The adjustments made are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q. It is suggested that these unaudited interim financial statements be
read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 25, 2004 and the Form 10-Q/A for the March 27, 2004 quarter, both filed by the Company under the

value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, &#147;Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation&#148; (&#147;FAS 123&#148;). Under the fair value recognition provisions of FAS 123, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date
based on the value of the award and is recognized as expense over the vesting period. Under the transition method selected by the Company as allowed by FASB Statement No. 148, &#147;Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation &#150; Transition and
Disclosure&#148; (&#147;FAS 148&#148;), the Company elected to apply the change in accounting principle using the prospective method. As no options were granted, modified or settled during the fiscal year ended September 25, 2004, or in the first
six months of fiscal 2005, there was no stock-based employee compensation expense included in net income for the three-month and six-month periods ended March 26, 2005 or March 27, 2004. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

all of which were unused. Of the $135.0 million of committed lines of credit, $120.0 million matures in October 2006, and $15.0 million matures in October and November 2005. At March 26, 2005, the Company had $14.7 million in unused letters of
credit that reduced the amounts available to be drawn under its lines of credit. The letters of credit mature from March 2005 to January 2006. The lines provide the Company with various interest rate options generally at rates less than prime. The
Company is not required to maintain compensating balances in connection with these lines of credit. The lines of credit contain provisions that under certain circumstances would permit lending institutions to terminate or withdraw their respective
extensions of credit to the Company. Included among the triggering factors permitting the termination or withdrawal of lines of credit to the Company are certain events of default, including both monetary and non-monetary defaults, the initiation of
bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, and the failure of the Company to meet certain financial covenants designated in its respective loan documents. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants related to these lines of credit at
March 26, 2005. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition, line of credit agreements and other long-term

Interpretation No. 46, &#147;Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities&#148; (&#147;FIN 46&#148;). FIN 46 requires that all primary beneficiaries of Variable Interest Entities (VIE) consolidate that entity. FIN 46 is effective immediately for VIEs
created or acquired after January 31, 2003. It applies in the first fiscal year or interim period ending after March 15, 2004, to VIEs in which an enterprise holds an interest it acquired before February 1, 2003. The Company has determined that it
does not have any relationships or contracts that constitute VIEs. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On December
16, 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), &#147;Share-Based Payment,&#148; which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, &#147;Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.&#148; Statement 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25,
&#147;Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,&#148; and amends FASB Statement No. 95, &#147;Statement of Cash Flows.&#148; Generally, the approach in Statement 123(R) is similar to the approach described in Statement 123. However, Statement 123(R)
requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. Statement 123(R) must be adopted by
the Company no later than September 25, 2005. Early adoption will be permitted in periods in which financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company expects to adopt Statement 123(R) on September 25, 2005. Although the Company has
previously adopted the provisions of FASB Statement No. 123 using the prospective approach, it will be required to adopt the new standard using one of two methods: (1) a &#147;modified prospective&#148; method in which compensation cost is
recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of Statement 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of Statement 123 for all awards granted to employees prior
to the effective date of Statement 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date, or (2) a &#147;modified retrospective&#148; method which includes the requirements of the modified prospective method described above, but also permits entities to
restate based on the amounts previously recognized under Statement 123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures either (a) all prior periods presented or (b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the
adoption alternatives and expects to complete its evaluation by September 24, 2005. The Company expects the effect of the adoption of Statement 123(R)&#146;s fair value method to be consistent with the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings
per share in Note B to its consolidated financial statements. Statement 123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as
required under current literature. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:2%; text-indent:-2%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">K.

supermarkets primarily in suburban areas, small towns and rural communities. Ingles supermarkets offer customers a wide variety of nationally advertised food products, including grocery, meat and dairy products, produce, frozen foods and other
perishables and non-food products, including health and beauty care products and general merchandise, as well as quality private label items. In addition, the Company focuses on selling high-growth, high-margin products to its customers through the
development of book sections, media centers, floral departments, bakery departments and prepared foods including delicatessen sections. During fiscal 2000, the Company began adding fuel centers and pharmacies at select store locations. As of March
26, 2005, the Company operated 37 in-store pharmacies and 24 fuel centers. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

products to third parties. Real estate ownership (including the shopping center rental segment) is an important component of the Company&#146;s operations, providing both operational and economic benefit. </FONT></P> <P

assets to be held and used, the Company tests for impairment using undiscounted cash flows and calculates the amount of impairment using discounted cash flows. For assets held for sale, impairment is recognized based on the excess of remaining book
value over expected recovery value. The recovery value is the fair value as determined by independent quotes or expected sales prices developed by internal specialists. Estimates of future cash flows and expected sales prices are judgments based
upon the Company&#146;s experience and knowledge of local operations and cash flows that are projected for several years into the future. These estimates can fluctuate significantly due to changes in real estate market conditions, the economic
environment, capital spending decisions and inflation. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Closed Store Accrual

long-term lease agreements, the present value of any remaining liability under the lease, discounted using risk-free rates and net of expected sublease recovery, is recognized as a liability and expensed. For all store closures subsequent to the
adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, effective December 31, 2002, the liability is recognized and expensed based on the difference between the present value of any remaining liability under the lease and the present value
of the estimated market rate at which the Company expects to be able to sublease the properties. The Company&#146;s estimates of market rates are based on its experience, knowledge and third-party advice or market data. If the real estate and
leasing markets change, sublease recovery could vary significantly from the recoveries originally assumed, resulting in a material change in the Company&#146;s recorded liability. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

allowances include volume or purchase based incentives, advertising allowances, slotting fees, and promotional discounts. The purpose of these incentives and allowances is generally to help defray the costs incurred by the Company for stocking,
advertising, promoting and selling the vendor&#146;s products. Whenever possible, vendor discounts and allowances that relate to buying and merchandising activities are recorded as a component of item cost in inventory and recognized in merchandise
costs when the item is sold. Due to system constraints and the nature of certain allowances, it is sometimes not practicable to apply allowances to the item cost of inventory. In those instances, the allowances are applied as a reduction of
merchandise costs using a rational and systematic methodology, which results in the recognition of these incentives when the inventory related to the initial purchase is sold. Amounts that represent a reimbursement of specific identifiable
incremental costs, such as advertising, are recorded as a reduction to the related expense in the period that the related expense is incurred. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

challenge can result in no change, a complete disallowance, or some partial adjustment reached through negotiations or litigation. Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company&#146;s tax contingencies. The Company&#146;s contingencies
are adjusted in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the progress of its tax audits as well as evolving case law. Income tax expense includes the impact of contingency provisions and changes to contingencies that the Company considers
appropriate. Unfavorable settlement of any particular issue would require use of cash. Favorable resolution would be recognized as a reduction to income tax expense at the time of resolution. </FONT></P> <P

previous and current fiscal years. Replacement stores and major and minor remodels are included in the comparable store sales calculation. A replacement store is a new store that is opened to replace an existing nearby store that is closed. A major
remodel entails substantial remodeling of an existing store and may include additional retail square footage. A minor remodel includes repainting, remodeling and updating the lighting and equipment throughout an existing store. For the three and
six-month periods ended March 26, 2005 and March 27, 2004, comparable store sales include 193 stores. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

2004 Form 10-K containing certain restated financial statements and related information for the years ended September 27, 2003 and September 28, 2002 to reflect the proper recognition of vendor allowances in the appropriate accounting periods and to
correct the improper accounting for certain revenue and expense items and correcting certain accounting errors related to certain lease transactions in these periods. The Company also filed Forms 10-Q/A for the fiscal quarters ended December 27,
2003, March 27, 2004 and June 26, 2004 to reflect the restatement of its consolidated financial statements included therein, the notes thereto, and related disclosures for such fiscal periods. As a result of the delays created by the internal

the Company&#146;s financial statements, the recording of certain other revenue and expense items in the improper accounting period principally due to errors in the financial statement closing process, and errors in the accounting for certain lease

occurred because of a variety of factors including incomplete or inaccurate information concerning vendor allowances provided internally by certain company associates dealing with vendors, due in certain instances to inappropriate actions of certain
former officers of the Company, and the complexity of guidance relating to the accounting for vendor allowances. Prior to and at the beginning of fiscal 2004, the Company implemented additional controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information regarding vendor allowances provided internally was complete and accurate, including new requirements regarding the signing of vendor invoices and new approvals for vendor invoices and contracts with vendors, however such controls did
not address the reporting or disclosure of previously recorded transactions. The Company believes that these additional controls and procedures substantially corrected any material weakness in existence in prior years relating to the recognition of
vendor allowances. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In reviewing its controls following the internal
investigation, the Company determined that additional training regarding controls over the accounting for vendor allowances is necessary for its accounting and other staff dealing with vendor allowances. Further, the Company has concluded that there
were material weaknesses in its internal controls for financial reporting relating to its period closing process and particularly related to its systems and processes between the Company&#146;s accounting department and its real estate department
regarding the recognition of tenant reimbursements of expenses paid by the Company. In addition, in a review of its lease transactions, the Company identified accounting errors related to certain lease transactions. These errors resulted from a lack
of understanding and communication of the Company&#146;s accounting policies related to accounting for leasehold improvements, incomplete reviews of such transactions and the complexity of guidance for lease accounting. </FONT></P> <P

the staffing functions in its accounting and real estate departments, including monitoring of compliance with accounting policies and procedures. The Company is considering the hiring of additional staff to supplement existing resources. Further,
the Company is providing additional training to its associates. These changes, among others, will allow the accounting department to more closely monitor vendor allowance transactions, its real estate billing processes and lease transactions, and to
achieve a more accurate financial statement close and reconciliation process. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

report in its fiscal 2005 Form 10-K, that its internal control over financial reporting was not effective at September 24, 2005. Likewise, in this event, the Company&#146;s independent registered public accounting firm would be required to issue an
