("Shoppers") included herein have been prepared by the Company without audit (except for the consolidated balance sheet as of January 27, 2001, which has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date) 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 because they are not applicable or not required.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. NOTE 1 - GENERAL General The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SFW Holding Corp. (a Delaware corporation) and its subsidiaries, ("SFW" or the "Company") for the 13 weeks ended April 28, 2001 ("first quarter 2002"), and the 13 weeks ended April 29, 2000 ("first quarter 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 April 28, 2001, and for first quarter 2002 and first quarter 2001, have not been audited. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 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 28, 2001, and the results of its operations for first quarter 2002 and first quarter 2001. 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. NOTE 2 - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES Transactions with SUPERVALU The consolidated balance sheet includes $46.7 million and $63.7 million due to affiliates at April 28, 2001 and January 27, 2001, respectively. The amounts outstanding consist primarily of amounts due to SUPERVALU for the purchase of bonds, capital spending, incomes taxes, inventory purchases and general and administrative expenses. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company's sole asset is its ownership of 100% of the outstanding common stock of Shoppers. The Company's business is substantially the same as that of Shoppers and is subject to all of the risks associated therewith. Therefore, substantially all of the information set forth herein which pertains to the operations of the Company's business and its financial condition references the business and financial condition of Shoppers. 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 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 Sales were $235.9 million for first quarter 2002, compared to $214.6 million for first quarter 2001, an increase of 9.9%. The sales increase was primarily due to the opening of four new stores since first quarter 2001, as well as an increase of 0.8% in comparable store sales. Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, remained essentially flat at 24.8% during first quarter 2002 and 24.9% during first quarter 2001. Selling and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, decreased to 21.6% for first quarter 2002, compared to 22.2% for first quarter 2001. The decrease is due to a focus on expense control combined with sales increases, which resulted in favorable expense leverage as a percent of sales. Operating income was $7.4 million for first quarter 2002, compared to $5.8 million for first quarter 2001. The increase was primarily due to the increase in sales. Interest income increased by approximately $0.5 million for first quarter 2002, compared to first quarter 2001, due to an increase in the outstanding balance of the notes receivable. Interest expense increased approximately $0.3 million from $3.6 million during first quarter 2001, to $3.9 million during first quarter 2002. The increase in interest expense was due to the interest relating to capital leases for new stores. The effective income tax rate for first quarter 2002 was 52.7%, compared to 56.4% for first quarter 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 $2.4 million during first quarter 2002, compared to $1.4 million during first quarter 2001, an increase of 69.0%. Liquidity and Capital Resources During first quarter 2002, operating activities generated net cash of $20.5 million, compared to generating $4.7 million during first quarter 2001. The increase was primarily due to an increase in working capital of $12.7 million for first quarter 2002, compared to first quarter 2001. Investing activities used $2.2 million for capital expenditures during first quarter 2002, compared to $3.9 million during first quarter 2001. Financing activities primarily reflect the payment to affiliated companies of $16.9 million in first quarter 2002, compared to $2.7 million during first quarter 2001. The change was primarily due to the change in cash provided by operating activities for first quarter 2002, compared to first quarter 2001. The Company believes that cash flows from Shoppers' 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. 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. PART II - Other Information Item 1. Legal Proceedings None Item 2.
