FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Ingles Markets, Incorporated (&#147;Ingles&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;), a leading supermarket chain in the Southeast United States, operates 197 supermarkets in Georgia (75), North Carolina (64), South Carolina
(35), Tennessee (20), Virginia (2)&nbsp;and Alabama (1). The Company&#146;s strategy is to locate its 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. Non-food products include fuel centers, pharmacies, health and beauty care products and general merchandise. The Company also offers
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, premium coffee kiosks, certified organic
products, bakery departments and prepared foods, including delicatessen sections. In-store pharmacies and on-site fuel centers have been added to some of the Company&#146;s supermarkets to give customers a competitive choice so they do not have to
make an additional stop to procure these items. Real estate ownership is an important component of the Company&#146;s operations, providing both operational and economic benefits. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company believes that customer service and convenience, modern stores and competitive prices on a broad selection of
quality merchandise are essential to developing a loyal customer base. The Company&#146;s new and remodeled supermarkets provide an enhanced level of customer convenience in order to accommodate the lifestyle of today&#146;s shoppers. Design
features of the Company&#146;s modern stores include expanded perishable departments featuring organic and home meal replacement items, in-store pharmacies, on-premises fuel centers, and an expanded selection of food and non-food items to provide a
&#147;one-stop&#148; shopping experience. The Company has an ongoing renovation and expansion plan to add stores in its target markets and to modernize the appearance and layout of its existing stores. Over the past five fiscal years, the Company
has spent approximately $316 million to modernize and remodel its existing stores, relocate older stores to larger, more convenient locations and construct new stores in order to maintain the quality shopping experience that its customers expect.
Typically, new and expanded stores occupy at least 65,000 square feet. As part of the Company&#146;s renovation and expansion plan, the Company generally includes full-service pharmacies and gas stations at both new and expanded store properties and
at selected existing store properties. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Substantially all of
the Company&#146;s stores are located within 250 miles of its 780,000 square foot warehouse and distribution center, near Asheville, North Carolina, from which the Company distributes grocery, produce, meat and dairy products to all Ingles stores.
The warehouse supplies the stores with approximately 54% of the goods the Company sells and the remaining 46% is purchased from third parties. The close proximity of the Company&#146;s purchasing and distribution operations to its stores facilitates
the timely distribution of consistently high quality meat, produce and other perishable items. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

variety of orange and other fruit juices and bottled water products. In addition, the milk processing and packaging plant sells approximately 69% of its products to other retailers, food service distributors and grocery warehouses in seventeen
states, which provides the Company with an additional source of revenue. Beginning in fiscal year 2005, organic milk products were added to the Company&#146;s milk processing and packaging plant offerings for distribution to the Company&#146;s
supermarkets and to outside parties. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Ingles believes that real

supermarkets primarily in suburban areas, small towns and rural communities. At September&nbsp;30, 2006, the Company operated 192 supermarkets under the name &#147;Ingles&#148; and five supermarkets under the name &#147;Sav-Mor&#148; with locations
in western North Carolina, western South Carolina, northern Georgia, eastern Tennessee, southwestern Virginia and northeastern Alabama. The &#147;Sav-Mor&#148; store concept accommodates smaller shopping areas and carries a limited line of dry
groceries, fresh meat and produce, all of which are displayed in a modern, readily accessible environment. &#147;Sav Mor&#148; stores are generally located in areas the Company has determined that demographics, target customer base and market
potential could not support a full-service Ingles supermarket. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

convenience-oriented quality product offerings and low overall pricing. The Company&#146;s modern stores provide products and services such as home meal replacement items, delicatessens, bakeries, floral departments, video rental departments,
greeting cards and broad selections of organic, beverage and health-related items. During fiscal 2000, Ingles opened its first company-owned, in-store pharmacy and its first fuel station, &#147;Ingles Gas Express.&#148; At September&nbsp;30, 2006,
the Company operated 46 pharmacies and 36 fuel stations. The Company plans to continue to incorporate these departments in substantially all future new and remodeled stores. The Company also plans to continue to add fuel stations to existing stores
based on an assessment of store performance, competition and site availability. The Company caters to the needs of its customers by offering extended hours, self-service checkout and prepaid purchasing cards. The Company trains its employees to
provide friendly service and to actively address the needs of customers. These employees reinforce the Company&#146;s distinctive service oriented image. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

readily accessible to its customers. The Company features only USDA Choice beef, where many of its competitors feature lower grade USDA Select. Many of the Company&#146;s stores offer a wide selection of fresh fish and seafood. The Company
emphasizes the freshness and quality of its produce, bakery and deli offerings by designing its departments with an open air market atmosphere. During fiscal year 2005, the Company&#146;s fluid dairy plant began producing certified organic milk for
sale in the Company&#146;s supermarkets and to non-affiliated customers. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Management believes that supermarkets offering a broad array of products and time-saving services are perceived by customers as part of a solution to today&#146;s lifestyle demands. Accordingly, a principal component
of the Company&#146;s merchandising strategy is to design stores that offer a &#147;one-stop&#148; shopping experience. To accommodate this strategy, substantially all of the Company&#146;s new and expanded stores cover at least 65,000 square feet.
In the Company&#146;s current store designs, in-store bakeries and delicatessens, prepared foods sections and gourmet coffee service are conveniently located near seating areas. In addition, book stores with reading areas and in-store pharmacies
increase store traffic and enhance customer perception of a comprehensive and satisfying shopping experience. Most Ingles stores also offer a wide selection of domestic, premium, micro brewery and imported beers and domestic and imported wines. The
floral department offers balloons, flowers and plants. The media department features new movie releases, popularly priced computer software, snack items, and self-service photofinishing kiosks, all contained in an appealing display area decorated
with a movie marquee </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">and a monitor playing current videos. Customers can also purchase money orders, prepaid gift cards for use in Company stores and fuel
stations, send/receive money wires from the customer service department or receive cash back at the check-out counter with a debit card. The Company offers both traditional and self-checkout registers. </FONT></P> <P

throughout Ingles&#146; deli departments and in the meat department to provide customers with easy meal alternatives that they can eat at home, at work or in a sit-down caf&eacute; that is conveniently located near the front of newer Ingles stores.
Many stores offer daily selections of home meal replacement items, such as rotisserie chicken, pizza, lasagna, meat loaf and other entrees, sandwiches, pre-packaged salads, sushi and prepared fresh vegetables. The bakery offers an expanded selection
of baked goods and self-service selections. Ingles offers bread baked daily, cakes made to order in various sizes, donuts and other pastries. The deli offers a salad bar, an expanded offering of cheeses and gourmet items and home meal replacement
items. The Company also provides its customers with an expanded selection of frozen food items to meet the increasing demands of its customers. Some of the Company&#146;s newer supermarkets contain a &#147;power aisle&#148; that includes specialty
departments, such as a bakery, a delicatessen, a produce department, a gourmet coffee service and a separate check-out. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company operates fuel stations at 36 of its store locations. The Company believes fuel stations give customers a competitive fuel choice and increase
store traffic by allowing customers to consolidate trips. Most new and expanded stores are designed to include a fuel station on the store property. The Company also adds fuel stations at existing stores based on its evaluation of local competition,
the potential effect on overall store profitability and the availability of space on the existing property or an adjacent outparcel. The Company&#146;s ownership of the majority of its store properties provides additional flexibility in this
assessment. During fiscal year 2006, the Company opened its first &#147;iMarket&#148; convenience center on a site with an existing Ingles supermarket. The iMarket includes an 1,100 square foot convenience store, fuel center and laser car wash.

proprietary brands, which typically carry higher margins than comparable branded products. The Company believes its current sales of proprietary brands represent a lower percentage of sales compared to many of it competitors. The Company currently
carries three private label lines: &#147;Laura Lynn,&#148; its primary line named after the founder&#146;s daughter, &#147;Ingles Best&#148; and &#147;Harvest Farms.&#148; Ingles&#146; private labels cover a broad range of products throughout the

Card program is designed to foster customer loyalty by providing information to better understand the Company&#146;s customers&#146; shopping patterns to facilitate marketing directly to customer needs. For fiscal year 2006, approximately 75% of

cost of merchandise, decrease overhead costs and better manage its inventory at both the warehouse and store level. From time to time, the Company engages in advance purchasing on high-turnover inventory items to take advantage of special prices
offered by manufacturers for limited periods. The Company&#146;s ability to take advantage of advance purchasing is limited by several factors including carrying costs and warehouse space. </FONT></P> <P

primarily frozen food and slower moving items that the Company prefers not to stock, are purchased from Merchant Distributors, Inc. (&#147;MDI&#148;), a wholesale grocery distributor with which the Company has had a continuing relationship since its
inception. Purchases from MDI were approximately $229 million in fiscal 2006, $214 million in fiscal 2005 and $212 million in fiscal 2004. Additionally, MDI purchases product from Milkco, Inc., the Company&#146;s fluid dairy subsidiary, and these
purchases totaled approximately $37 million in fiscal 2006, $35 million in fiscal 2005 and $37 million in fiscal 2004. The Company has a fee arrangement with MDI for items it purchases from MDI, based on cost plus a handling charge. MDI owned
approximately 2% of the Company&#146;s Class&nbsp;A Common Stock and approximately 1% of the Company&#146;s Class B Common Stock at September&nbsp;30, 2006, which equals 1.3% of the total voting power. The Company believes that alternative sources

developing owned stores rather than leased stores. Management believes that owning stores rather than leasing them provides the Company with lower all-in occupancy costs and the flexibility over the long-term to expand its stores further, if needed.
The construction of new stores is closely monitored and controlled by the Company. The Company hires independent contractors to construct its supermarkets from its continuously updated designs. </FONT></P> <P

traffic and sales, respond to existing customer demand, compete effectively against new stores opened by competitors and support its &#147;quality image&#148; merchandising strategy. The Company decides to complete a major remodel of an existing
store based on its evaluation of the competitive landscape of the local marketplace. A major remodel and expansion provides the quality of facilities and product offerings identical to that of a new store, capitalizing upon the existing customer
base. The Company retains the existing customer base by keeping the store in operation during the entire remodeling process. The Company may elect to relocate, rather than remodel, certain stores where relocation provides a more convenient location
for its customers and is more economical. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company
completes minor remodels in existing stores that management believes provide ample size and facilities to support the local customer base but require merchandising and operational improvements. In a minor remodel, the Company will also make cosmetic
changes to give the store a new look and feel. Minor remodels generally include repainting, remodeling and upgrading of the lighting throughout the store. Additionally, the Company refurbishes existing equipment and adds selected new equipment in
the remodeling process. As part of a minor remodel, the Company remerchandises the store including the broadening of product and service offerings. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

profit margins. The degree of competition the Company&#146;s stores encounter varies by location, primarily based on the size of the community the store is located in and its proximity to other communities. The Company&#146;s principal competitors
are, in alphabetical order, Bi-Lo, LLC., Food City (K-VA-T Food Stores, Inc.), Food Lion, LLC., The Kroger Co., Inc., Publix Supermarkets, Inc., Target Corporation, and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. Increasingly over the last few years, competition for
consumers&#146; food dollars has intensified due to the addition of, or increase in, food sections by many types of retailers such as specialty grocers, drug and convenience stores, national general merchandisers and discount retailers, membership
clubs, warehouse stores and super centers. Also, the consumer trend of eating out has made restaurants another significant competitor for food dollars. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

small towns and rural communities. Because the Company has operated in many of its markets longer than its competitors, it has been able to place its stores in prime locations. Furthermore, unlike many of its competitors, the Company owns property
on which a majority of its stores are located, allowing it the flexibility to expand the store when needed. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">By concentrating its operations within a relatively small geographic region, the Company is also positioned to more carefully monitor its markets, and the
needs of its customers within those markets. The top management of the Company is living and working in its operating region allowing management to quickly identify changes in needs and customer preference. Given the Company&#146;s size, such
managers have direct access to corporate management and are able to receive quick approval to requested changes in operations. The Company can then move quickly to make adjustments in its business in response to changes in the market and customer
needs. The Ingles Advantage Savings and Reward Card provides information to better understand the Company&#146;s customers&#146; shopping patterns in various demographic categories and to develop targeted marketing programs based on this
information. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company supports its quality image by
carrying high quality perishable items. One major quality advantage of the Company is that it offers its customers only USDA Choice beef cut by butchers located in the stores. Many of Ingles&#146; competitors feature lower grade USDA Select beef and
do not have butchers located in their stores. The Company has expanded its offering of certified organic products to include organic dairy, perishable and frozen items. The Company also carries a wide variety of produce, quality private label brands
plus a variety of popular national and regional brands. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The
Company&#146;s large national and international competitors&#146; primary advantages are related to their size. These larger organizations may have an advantage through stronger buying power and more significant capital resources. Certain
competitors, such as super centers, may be able to operate with smaller margins in the food sections of their stores by relying on their higher margins on the general merchandise sections of their stores to compensate. </FONT></P> <P

STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On June&nbsp;15, 2005, a purported shareholder of the Company filed a shareholder derivative suit on behalf of the Company against certain current and
former individual members of the Company&#146;s Board of Directors and against the Company as a nominal defendant in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina. The suit alleged that the defendant Directors breached their
fiduciary duties by failing to implement appropriate internal controls. The suit sought from the Directors damages in an unspecified amount allegedly sustained by the Company, as well as disgorgement by certain Directors to the Company of salaries
and bonuses received by those Directors between 2002 and 2005. The Company&#146;s Board of Directors appointed an independent committee, which retained independent counsel, to review the merits of the suit and recommend action that is in the best
interest of the Company. After an investigation, the independent committee concluded that the maintenance of the derivative proceeding was not in the best interest of the Company. On October&nbsp;10, 2005, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the
derivative proceeding. On October&nbsp;11, 2006, the Company&#146;s motion was granted and the proceeding was dismissed with prejudice. The deadline for appeal by the plaintiff has passed. </FONT></P> <P

Carolina (64), South Carolina (35), Tennessee (20), Virginia (2)&nbsp;and Alabama (1). The Company locates its 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, premium coffee kiosks, certified organic products, 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 September&nbsp;30, 2006, the Company operates 46 in-store pharmacies and 36 fuel centers.

processing and shopping center rentals. The fluid dairy processing segment sells approximately 31% of its products to the retail grocery segment and approximately 69% of its 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 STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

estimates are based on data provided by the respective claims administrators. These estimates can fluctuate if historical trends are not predictive of the future. The majority of the Company&#146;s properties are self-insured for casualty losses and

long-lived assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;144 &#147;Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.&#148; For 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 associates. 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. The Company
monitors the carrying value of long-lived assets for potential impairment each quarter based on whether any indicators of impairment have occurred. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities,&#148; effective December&nbsp;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 typical 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. The closed store accrual is included in accrued expenses

the many vendors whose products the Company buys for resale in its stores. These incentives and allowances are primarily comprised of 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. These allowances generally relate to short term arrangements with vendors,
often relating to a period of a month or less, and are negotiated on a purchase-by-purchase or transaction-by transaction basis. 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 vendor consideration received is
sold. Vendor allowances applied as a reduction of merchandise costs totaled $92.7 million, $89.3 million, and $75.0 million for the fiscal years ended September&nbsp;30, 2006,&nbsp;September&nbsp;24, 2005 and September&nbsp;25, 2004, respectively.
Vendor advertising allowances that represent a reimbursement of specific identifiable incremental costs of advertising the vendor&#146;s specific products are recorded as a reduction to the related expense in the period that the related expense is
incurred. Vendor advertising allowances recorded as a reduction of advertising expense totaled $8.8 million, $8.7 million, and $9.1 million for the fiscal years ended September&nbsp;30, 2006,&nbsp;September&nbsp;24, 2005 and September&nbsp;25, 2004,

to be challenged by taxing authorities. Settlement of any 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 STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

in operation for the entire duration of the previous and current fiscal years. The Company has an ongoing renovation and expansion plan to modernize the appearance and layout of its existing stores. Over the past five fiscal years, the Company has
spent approximately $316 million to modernize and remodel its existing stores, relocate older stores to larger, more convenient locations and to construct new stores in order to maintain the quality shopping experience that its customers expect.
Sales from replacement stores, major remodels, minor remodels and the addition of fuel stations to existing stores are included in the comparable store sales calculation from the date of completion of the replacement, remodel or addition. 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. Gasoline sales from the addition of fuel stations to existing stores during the measurement period are included in comparable store sales. For the fiscal
years ended September&nbsp;30, 2006 and September&nbsp;24, 2005 comparable store sales include 192 stores. Weighted average retail square footage added to comparable stores due to replacement and remodeled stores totaled approximately 139,000 and
64,000 for the fiscal years ended September&nbsp;30, 2006 and September&nbsp;24, 2005, respectively. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

sales increased by more than 10% in eight of the Company&#146;s ten product categories, with the largest increases in gasoline, pharmacy, deli and produce. In general, net sales increases were driven by effective promotions, service execution and a
favorable competitive environment as a result of certain competitors closing stores in the Company&#146;s market area. Fuel stations and pharmacies have been effective in giving customers a competitive choice and allowing them to consolidate
shopping trips at Company supermarkets. Ingles introduced The Ingles Advantage Savings and Rewards Card (the &#147;Card&#148;) on the first day of the 2004 fiscal year. The increase in net sales and comparable store sales is partially attributable
to the continued success of the Card program, as approximately 75% of grocery segment sales are to Advantage cardholders. Information obtained from Advantage cardholders assists the Company in optimizing product offerings and promotions specific to
customer shopping patterns. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Net sales to outside parties for

mixed. The Company expects that the maturation of new and expanded stores that enhance &#147;one-stop&#148; shopping and convenience-oriented products will also drive sales growth. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein. Such statements are based upon a number of assumptions and estimates which are inherently subject to
significant risks and uncertainties many of which are beyond the Company&#146;s control. Some of these assumptions inevitably will not materialize, and unanticipated events will occur which will affect the Company&#146;s results. Some important
factors (but not necessarily all factors) that affect the Company&#146;s revenues, growth strategies, future profitability and operating results, or that otherwise could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by
any forward-looking statement, include: business and economic conditions generally in the Company&#146;s operating area; the Company&#146;s ability to successfully implement its expansion and operating strategies and to manage rapid expansion;
pricing pressures and other competitive factors; the Company&#146;s ability to reduce costs and achieve improvements in operating results; the availability and terms of financing; increases in labor and utility costs; success or failure in the

real estate and equipment financing and the Notes. The lines of credit, along with cash flow from operations, are used to maintain liquidity and fund business operations. The Company typically replaces borrowings under its lines of credit, as
necessary, with both long-term secured and unsecured fixed rate financing. The nature and amount of the Company&#146;s debt may vary as a result of future business requirements, market conditions and other factors. The definitive extent of the
Company&#146;s interest rate risk is not quantifiable or predictable because of the variability of future interest rates and business financing requirements, but the Company does not believe such risk is material. The Company does not customarily
use derivative instruments to adjust the Company&#146;s interest rate risk profile. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

(1)&nbsp;pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2)&nbsp;provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors
of the company; and (3)&nbsp;provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company&#146;s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

years. The majority of the leases include one or more renewal options and provide that the Company pay property taxes, utilities, repairs and certain other costs incidental to occupation of the premises. Several leases contain clauses calling for
percentage rentals based upon gross sales of the supermarket occupying the leased space. The Company also leases a portion of its equipment under operating leases, including leases derived from sale/leaseback transactions, with initial terms of
three to five years. Step rent provisions, escalation clauses, capital improvements and other lease concessions are taken into account in computing minimum lease payments, which are recognized on a straight-line basis over the minimum lease term.
