and Results of Operations

Results of Operations
As of May 25, 1996, Seaway Food Town, Inc. operated 66 retail stores,
43 supermarkets, 25 of which are large combination stores operating as
Food Town Plus stores and 23 deep discount drugstores operating as the Pharm.
This compares to 44 supermarkets, 23 of which were Food Town Plus stores and
22 Pharm deep discount drugstores as of May 27, 1995.
Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1996 were $145,911 or 4.85% higher
than the same quarter of 1995. On a year to date basis, net sales were
$442,949 or 5.44% higher than 1995. Most of this net increase was
attributable to increased drugstore and supermarket sales resulting from one
more drugstore, and one less supermarket in operation at the end of the
quarter as compared to the same quarter of the prior year, along with
increased promotional activity in both the supermarkets and drugstores.
Sales from stores in operation both this past quarter as well as the same
quarter a year ago increased 4.12% in the current year.
Gross margins, as a percent of sales, increased .45% in the third quarter of
fiscal 1996 compared to the same quarter of 1995. Margins increased slightly
in the supermarkets and decreased slightly in the Pharms for the third
quarter of 1996 compared to 1995. On a year to date basis, these margins
followed the same pattern between 1996 and 1995. Warehousing and
transportation costs, which are included in cost of sales, declined slightly
from quarter to quarter and remained constant on a year to date basis.
As a percent of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased
.35% in the third quarter, and increased .09% on a year to date basis as
compared to 1995. The decrease on a quarter to quarter comparison is due to
increased sales levels which offset actual dollar increases in costs
associated with wages and the enhancement of management information systems.
The increase, on a year-to-date basis, is a result of increased wages, supply
costs, utilities, advertising and costs associated with the company's
continuing program of enhancing management information systems.
Interest expense remained consistent with the prior year as slightly higher
interest rates were offset by lower outstanding borrowings for the third
quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to the same quarter of 1995. On a year to
date basis, slightly higher interest rates were offset by slightly lower
borrowings.
Other income - net decreased $203 over the same quarter in 1995. This
decrease is due primarily to losses on the sale of company assets during
this quarter compared to 1995. On a year to date basis, other income -
net decreased by $845, primarily due to a gain of $632, recognized on
the sale of the Company's dairy operation in the first quarter of Fiscal 1995,
and losses on assets sold during 1996.
Income taxes as a percent of pre-tax income approximates the statutory tax
rates in effect.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations (continued)
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 1996, the Company's working
capital increased $1,911 as compared to August 26, 1995. The working capital
ratio was 1.13 to 1 at the end of this quarter compared to 1.11 to 1 at
August 26, 1995 and 1.13 to 1 at February 24, 1996. During the first
thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 1996, the Company generated $13,513 in cash from
operations which was used primarily to finance capital expenditures, make
dividend payments, reduce debt, and repurchase some of the Company's common
shares.
The long-term debt to shareholders equity ratio was 1.08 to 1 at May 25, 1996
compared to 1.20 to 1 at May 27, 1995.
Measures of liquidity at May 25, 1996 and May 27, 1995 were as follows:
1996 1995
------- --------
Working Capital (1) 26.1 million 23.4 million
Current Ratio (1) 1.43 to 1 1.40 to 1
Unused Lines of Credit 15.8 million 18.3 million
(1) Includes add-back of gross lifo reserve
The funds required by the Company on a continuing basis for both working
capital, capital expenditures, and other needs are generated principally
through operations, long-term borrowings and capital leases, supplemented by
borrowings under revolving credit note agreements which have been arranged
primarily through institutional lenders. The Company is not aware of any
trends, demands, commitments or uncertainties which will result or which are
reasonably likely to result in a material change in the Company's liquidity.
During the third quarter of 1996 the Company borrowed against revolving
credit agreements with the maximum amount outstanding under such agreements
amounting to $24.6 million.
