                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 (Unaudited)
  
  
  1.   Basis of Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements:
  
     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
       of Homeland Holding Corporation ("Holding") and its
       Subsidiary, Homeland Stores, Inc. ("Stores" and together
       with Holding, the "Company"), reflect all adjustments
       consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments which
       are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present
       fairly the consolidated financial position and the
       consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the
       periods presented.  These unaudited consolidated financial
       statements should be read in conjunction with the
       consolidated financial statements of the Company for the 52
         weeks ended December 30, 1995 and the notes thereto.  
    
     The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been
       prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the
       realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities
       and commitments in the normal course of business.  The
       consolidated financial statements do not include any
       adjustments to the assets or liabilities that may result
         from the outcome of the bankruptcy proceedings.
  
  2.   Accounting Policies:
  
     The policies of the Company are summarized in the
       consolidated financial statements of the Company for the 52
         weeks ended December 30, 1995 and the notes thereto.
  
  3.   Operational Restructuring:
  
          On April 21, 1995, the Company sold 29 of its stores and its
          distribution center to Associated Wholesale Grocers, Inc. ("AWG"),
          pursuant to a strategic plan approved by the Board of Directors in
          December 1994.  In connection with the plan, the Company closed 14
          underperforming stores in 1995, sold one store and closed one store in
          the second quarter of 1996. The Company closed one final store in July
          1996 pursuant to such plan.  During the first 24 weeks ended June 15,
          1996, the Company incurred expenses associated with the operational
          restructuring as follows:

  4. Reorganization:
  
   On May 13, 1996, the Company filed chapter 11 petitions with
     the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of
     Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court").  Simultaneous with the
     filing of such petitions, the Company filed a plan of
     reorganization and a disclosure statement, which sets forth
     the terms of a proposed restructuring of the Company.  On
     June 13, 1996, the Company filed a first amended plan of
     reorganization and disclosure statement.  The Company's plan
     of reorganization was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on
     July 19, 1996.  As a result of the chapter 11 filings,
     certain claims against the Company that existed prior to the
     filing date are stayed and will be subject to compromise. 
     Liabilities subject to compromise as of June 15, 1996, are
       as follows (dollars in thousands):
  
                                                June 15, 1996
                                                 (unaudited)
  
         Long-term obligation in default
           classified as current                  $ 95,000
         Other                                      43,732
                                                  $138,732
  
  
   Resolution of the above liabilities subject to compromise
   is contingent upon the approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
  
  
Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
          Condition and Results of Operations
  
  
  Results of Operations
  
          Comparison of Twelve and Twenty-Four Weeks Ended June
    15, 1996 with Twelve and Twenty-Four Weeks Ended June 17, 1995.
  
          Net sales for the 12 weeks and 24 weeks ended June 15,
  1996 decreased 17.1% and 24.2% respectively, over the net sales
  of the corresponding periods of 1995.  The decrease in net sales
  was due primarily to the sale of 29 stores to AWG on April 21,
  1995 and the closing of 14 stores in 1995, 5 of which occurred
  during the first quarter of 1995, 2 during the second quarter of
  1995, and the remainder over the balance of 1995.  Comparable
  store sales for the 12 weeks ended June 15, 1996 decreased by
  0.2% compared to the corresponding period of 1995.  The decrease
  in comparable store sales was primarily due to higher 1995
  general merchandise sales resulting from certain continuity
  programs that did not recur in 1996.
  
          Gross profit as a percentage of sales for both the 12
  weeks ended June 15, 1996 and the corresponding period of 1995
  amounted to 24.8%.  Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the
  24 weeks ended June 15, 1996 increased to 24.5% compared to 24.3%
  for the corresponding period of 1995.  The improvement was
  primarily due to higher vendor allowances and rebates, which were
  lower in 1995 due to the pending sale of the Company's
  distribution center and 29 stores to AWG.  The higher vendor
  allowances and rebates are somewhat offset by the higher cost of
  goods purchased through AWG versus self-supply.
  
          Selling and administrative expenses for the 12 weeks
  ended June 15, 1996 decreased to 22.5% compared to 24.5% for the
  corresponding period of 1995.  For the 24 weeks ended June 15,
  1996, selling and administrative expenses decreased to 22.5% from
  23.4%.  The decrease in expenses was due to a reduction in health
  and welfare costs and lower corporate office expenses.
  
          Interest expense for the 12 weeks ended June 15, 1996
  decreased to $2.1 million from $3.9 million in the corresponding
  period of 1995.  Interest expense for the 24 weeks ended June 15,
  1996 decreased to $5.2 million from $8.3 million in the
  corresponding period of 1995.  The decrease in interest expense
  is primarily a result of the Company filing chapter 11 petitions
  with the Bankruptcy Court on May 13, 1996.  The filing stayed the
  Company's interest obligation on the Senior Notes.  Additionally,
  interest expense decreased due to the redemption of $25.0 million
  of Senior Secured Notes on June 1, 1995.
  
          The Company incurred $1.8 million of reorganization
  expenses for the 12 weeks ended June 15, 1996.  For the 24 weeks
  ended June 15, 1996, reorganization expenses were $3.2 million. 
  The reorganization expenses were primarily professional fees.
  
          Extraordinary items for the 12 weeks and 24 weeks ended
  June 17, 1995 consisted of refinancing costs associated with the
  Company's sale of 29 stores and its distribution center to AWG on
  April 21, 1995.
  
  Liquidity and Capital Resources
            
          The primary sources of liquidity for the Company's
  operations have been borrowings under credit facilities and
  internally generated funds.  In March 1992, the Company
  refinanced its indebtedness by entering into an Indenture with
  United States Trust Company of New York, as trustee, pursuant to
  which the Company had outstanding as of July 15, 1996, $59.4
  million of Series C Senior Secured Fixed Rate Notes due 1999,
  $26.1 million of Series D Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due
  1997 and $9.5 Series A Senior Secured Floating Rates Notes due
  1997 (collectively the "Senior Notes").
  
          On April 21, 1995, the Company entered into a Revolving
  Credit Agreement (the "Revolving Credit Agreement") with National
  Bank of Canada, ("NBC"), as agent and as lender, Heller
  Financial, Inc.  The Revolving Credit Agreement permits
  borrowings up to $25 million, subject to a borrowing base, for
  working capital needs including certain letters of credit.
  
          On May 13, 1996, the Company filed chapter 11 petitions
  with the Bankruptcy Court.  Simultaneous with the filing of such
  petitions, the Company filed a "pre-arranged" plan of
  reorganization and a disclosure statement, which sets forth the
  terms of a proposed restructuring of the Company.  On June 13,
  1996, the Company filed its first amended plan of reorganization
  (the "Plan") and first amended disclosure statement.  The
  restructuring is designed to reduce substantially the Company's
  debt service obligations and labor costs and to create a capital
  and cost structure that will allow the Company to maintain and
  enhance the competitive position of its business and operations. 
  The restructuring was negotiated with, and is supported by, the
  lenders under the Company's existing revolving credit facility,
  the adhoc noteholders committee and the Company's labor unions.
  
          As part of the restructuring, the $95 million of
  Homeland's outstanding Senior Notes, plus accrued interest of
  approximately $6.6 million, will be canceled and such noteholders
  will receive (in the aggregate) $60 million face amount of new
  senior subordinated notes and $1.5 million in cash.  The new
  senior subordinated notes will mature in 2003, bear interest
  semi-annually at a rate of 10% per annum and will not be secured. 
  Additionally, it is anticipated that the noteholders and the
  Company's general unsecured creditors will receive approximately
  60% and 35%, respectively, of the equity of the reorganized
  Holding (assuming total unsecured claims of approximately $63
  million, including noteholders's unsecured claims).  Holding's
  existing equity holders will receive 5% of the new equity, plus
  five-year warrants to purchase an additional 5% of such equity.
  
          An integral part of the restructuring is the Company's
  previously-announced deal with its labor unions to modify certain
  elements of the Company's existing collective bargaining
  agreements.  The modified collective bargaining agreements will
  provide for, among other things, wage and benefit modifications,
  the buyout of certain employees and the issuance and purchase of
  new equity to a trust acting on behalf of the unionized
  employees.  The modified collective bargaining agreements are
  conditioned on, and will become effective upon, the consummation
  of the restructuring.
  
          On May 13, 1996, the Company also entered into an
  interim debtor-in-possession lending facility ("DIP Facility"),
  with its existing bank group to provide up to $27 million of
  working capital financing.  The Bankruptcy Court issued an order
  approving the DIP facility on June 7, 1996.
  
          The DIP Facility permits the Company to borrow up to
  the lesser of $27 million and the Borrowing Base.  The borrowings
  under the DIP Facility bear interest at a rate equal to the prime
  rate announced publicly by NBC from time to time in New York, New
  York plus two percent.  Interest is payable quarterly in arrears
  on the last day of March, June, September and December,
  commencing on June 30, 1996.  The DIP Facility will mature on the
  earlier of (1) one year from the date of filing of the Company's
  voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the United States Federal
  Bankruptcy Code, and (2) the effective date of the Plan. 
  Management believes that the DIP Facility will be adequate to
  meet the Company's working capital requirements while it is
  operating under the auspices of the Bankruptcy Court.
  
          The DIP Facility provides that NBC, on behalf of itself
  and as agent for the lenders under the DIP Facility, will have
  liens on, and security interests in, all of the pre-petition and
  post-petition property of the Company (other than the collateral
  under the Indenture), which liens and security interests will
  have priority over substantially all other liens on, and security
  interests in, the Company's property (other than properly
  perfected liens and security interests which existed prior to the
  date of filing of the Company's voluntary petition under the
  Bankruptcy Code).
  
          The DIP Facility includes certain customary restrictive
  covenants, including restrictions on acquisitions, asset
  dispositions, capital expenditures, consolidations and mergers,
  distributions, divestitures, indebtedness, liens and security
  interests and transactions with affiliates.  The DIP Facility
  also requires the Company to comply with certain financial
  maintenance and other covenants.  At July 15, 1996, the net
  unused and available amount under the DIP Facility was $14.4
  million.
  
          On July 19, 1996, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the
  Plan.  It is expected that the Plan will become effective on the
  first business day on which all of the conditions to the
  effective date contained in the Plan are satisfied or waived as
  provided in the Plan.  The Company currently anticipates that the
  effective date of the Plan will occur on or about August 2, 1996.
  
          On the effective date of the Plan, the Company intends
  to enter into a loan agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with NBC,
  as agent and lender, and two other lenders, Heller Financial,
  Inc. and IBJ Schroder Bank and Trust Company, under which those
  lenders will provide (a) a working capital and letter of credit
  facility and (b) a term loan.  The Company has received and
  executed a commitment letter from these lenders.  The commitment
  letter is subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
  
          The Loan Agreement will permit the Company to borrow,
  under the working capital and letter of credit facility, up to
  the lesser of (a) $27.5 million and (b) the applicable borrowing
  base.  Funds borrowed under such facility will be available for
  general corporate purposes of the Company.
  
          The Loan Agreement will also provide the Company a
  $10.0 million term loan, which will be used to fund certain
  obligations of the Company under the plan of reorganization,
  including an employee buyout offer and a health and welfare plan
  required by the modified collective bargaining agreements,
  professional fees and "cure amounts" which must be paid in
  connection with executory contracts, secured financings and
  unexpired leases.
  
          The interest rate under the Loan Agreement will be
  based on the prime rate publicly announced by National Bank of
  Canada from time to time in New York, New York plus a percentage
  which varies based on a number of factors, including (a) the
  amount which is part of the working capital and letter of credit
  facility and the amount which is part of the term loan, (b) the
  time period (c) whether the Company elects to use a London
  Interbank Offered Rate, and (d) the earnings of the Company
  before interest, depreciation and amortization expenses.
  
          The indebtedness under the Loan Agreement will mature
    three years from the effective date of the Plan.
  
          The obligations of the Company under the Loan Agreement
  will be secured by liens on, and security interests in,
  substantially all of the assets of Homeland and will be
  guaranteed by Holding, with a pledge of its Homeland stock to
  secure its obligation.  The collateral will include the assets
  which, prior to the effective date of the Plan, secured the
  obligations of the Company to the holders of the Senior Notes.
  
          The Company anticipates that the Loan Agreement will
  include certain customary restrictions on acquisitions, asset
  dispositions, capital expenditures, consolidations and mergers,
  distributions, divestitures, indebtedness, liens and security
  interests and transactions with affiliates.  The Company also
  anticipates that the Loan Agreement will require the Company to
  comply with certain financial and other covenants.
  
          Consummation of the Plan is subject to a number of
  contingencies.  The Company believes that the restructuring under
  the Plan will have a favorable effect on the Company's liquidity. 
  However, there can be no assurance that the Company's operations
  will yield positive net cash flows or that the restructuring will
  be successful.  If the Company is not able to generate positive
  net cash flows from its operations or if the restructuring is not
  consummated successfully, management believes that this could
  have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and the
  continuing viability of the Company.
