PART I
ITEM 1 - BUSINESS
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of
Delaware on September 18, 1958, under the name of Piggly Wiggly
Alabama Distributing Company, Inc. On September 26, 1979, it was
reorganized as an Alabama corporation under the name of Piggly
Wiggly Alabama Distributing Co., Inc. (the "Company"). The Company
has its principal place of business at 2400 J. Terrell Wooten
Drive, Bessemer, Alabama. During the past five years, the Company
has steadily grown, increasing sales from $333,106,000 in 1992 to
$402,682,000 in 1995. The number of grocery stores serviced by the
Company has expanded from 168 in 1990 to 214 in 1995.
Business Objective
The Company was organized and is being operated for the
purpose of providing grocery warehousing and distribution
facilities for its stockholders who are retail grocery operators in
parts of Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, Mississippi, Florida and
North Carolina. While it is the hope and continued intention of
the management of the Company that the Company operate with a
reasonable profit, the primary objective of the Company is to
provide groceries, food products and related items and services at
low cost to its stockholders so that they may effectively meet
competition in their retail grocery market. Under the
circumstances, the intention that the Company operate with a
reasonable profit is subordinate to its primary objective, which
might result in a less profitable operation than would be the case
in the event there was no connection between the Company as a
supplier and its stockholders as customers.
Distribution
The Company operates wholesale grocery warehouse and
distribution facilities in Bessemer, Alabama. From its warehouse
and distribution facilities, the Company distributes grocery
products, including dry groceries, meats, produce, frozen foods,
dairy products, health and beauty aids, tobacco products and other
related items and provides services to retail grocery stores
operated under franchise issued by the Piggly Wiggly Corporation
and to non-franchised retail grocery stores generally located
within a 250-mile radius from the Company's warehouse facilities in
Bessemer, Alabama. The Company purchases its grocery products from
approximately 1,200 food and related product vendors. The
percentage of total sales produced by the various departments of
the Company during the last three years is reflected in the
following table:
1995 1994 1993
Dry Groceries....................... 51% 50% 49%
Meats............................... 20% 21% 22%
Produce............................. 5% 5% 5%
Dairy Products...................... 9% 9% 9%
Tobacco Products.................... 6% 6% 7%
Frozen Foods........................ 4% 4% 4%
Health & Beauty Aids................ 3% 3% 3%
Deli................................ 2% 2% 1%
100% 100% 100%
The Company's sales territory consists of parts of Alabama,
Tennessee, Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, and North Carolina. As
of September 30, 1995, the Company distributed to and serviced 214
retail grocery stores. For comparison with sales and operating
profit from previous years, see "Financial Statements."
The Company's inventory turns over approximately once in a 3
week period. Although retail grocery store operators have a right
to return merchandise, the actual percentage of returned
merchandise in the past five years has been negligible. Deliveries
of merchandise are made to the operators by the Company within two
days from the date an order is placed by a fleet of 52 tractors
leased by the company and 109 trailers owned by the Company. The
Company's handling of inventory is consistent with the practice of
the wholesale grocery warehouse industry. All store operators who
purchase from the Company are invoiced for the merchandise at the
time of delivery. Unpaid invoices are reflected in weekly
statements sent to operators which are to be paid within one (1)
week.
The Company is not dependent upon any single customer, the
loss of which would have a material adverse effect on its business.
The Company's largest customer accounts for less than six percent
of the Company's sales.
Patronage Dividends
The Company has a policy approved by the stockholders by which
a patronage dividend is to be accrued to each member-stockholder
from profits exceeding $400,000 from sales to member-stockholders
of the Company. The amount of the patronage dividend
which is accrued to each member-stockholder is the proportion that
the sales from the Company to each member-stockholder bear to the
total sales of the Company to all member-stockholders. The
patronage dividends accrued for the past five years are as follows:
Year Patronage Dividend
1991..................... $2,022,716
1992..................... $2,839,541
1993..................... $2,046,458
1994..................... $3,818,545
1995..................... $4,037,012
The Company's By-laws provide that patronage dividends shall
be paid eight and one-half months after year ends and
50% in promissory notes issued by the Company. These notes bear
interest at an annual rate of 7.5%. Interest only is paid
quarterly and the notes mature 10 years after issuance and are
callable by the Company at any time. Pursuant to the loan
agreement with Compass Bank described in "Properties" below, this
method of payment may not be changed during the term of the loan,
without prior consent of Compass Bank.
With permission from Compass Bank, the 1986, 1987, and 1988
patronage dividend notes have been redeemed ahead of schedule.
Competition
The wholesale food distribution business in which the Company
operates is a highly competitive market. The Company competes
favorably with regional and national wholesales grocery
distributors as well as representatives of individual manufacturing
concerns who sell directly to store operators. There are generally
at least two regional or national distributors in any given
geographical area with whom the Company competes. Because the
sales volume of its competitors for these markets is not known, the
Company is unable to determine accurately its exact rank in the
market. The Company believes that price, credit terms, patronage
dividends, rebates, breadth of selection and services offered in
conjunction with the grocery goods and products are factors in
influencing the retail grocery store operator's selection of a
wholesale distributor. The Company has been successful in
utilizing a combination of these factors to achieve its steady rate
of growth.
Employees
As of July 28, 1995, the Company had approximately 458
employees, of whom 294 are affiliated with the Teamsters
International Local Union No. 612. The Company enjoys excellent
working relations with its employees.
Connection With Piggly Wiggly Corporation
On June 20, 1984, the Company and Piggly Wiggly Corporation
entered into a Stock Purchase and Distributor's Agreement whereby
the Company granted Piggly Wiggly Corporation a first right of
refusal for the purchase of the Company and Piggly Wiggly
Corporation authorized the Company to act as a distributor of
Piggly Wiggly products and to use Piggly Wiggly trademarks, service
marks, copyright, trade names and logos. The Company shall have
such rights unless and until it defaults under the terms and
conditions of the Stock Purchase and Distributor's Agreement. As
of the date hereof, no such default has occurred.
Piggly Wiggly Corporation holds no ownership interest in the
Company and the Company is totally owned by its member-stockholders.
Recent Developments
The Board of Directors approved a plan of expansion in April
1994. Site work on the expansion began in September 1994 with
approximately 130,000 square feet of additional dry grocery space
completed during the fiscal year ended July 28, 1995 at a cost of
approximately $6,335,000. An additional 80,000 square feet of new
freezer space was under construction at fiscal year end with an
accumulated cost of approximately $5,926,400. The new freezer
space was placed in service in September 1995.
ITEM 2 - PROPERTIES
In May, 1988, the Company completed construction and occupied
its office, warehouse and distribution facility on approximately 36
acres in Bessemer, Alabama. The original warehouse consists of
approximately 289,000 square feet of dry goods storage area,
115,290 square feet of perishable and frozen foods storage and
27,000 square feet of general office space. The cost of the
facility was approximately $20 million. In May of 1995, the
Company completed construction and occupied an additional 130,000
square feet of dry grocery space. The addition cost approximately
$6,335,000. An additional 80,000 square feet of freezer space was
completed and placed in service in September of 1995 at a cost of
approximately $5,926,400. The Company also owns an additional
210 acres at the Bessemer site which is being held by the Company
for future development and/or sale.
The office, warehouse and distribution facility, built in 1988,
was financed with Industrial Development Bonds issued by the Industrial
Development Board of the City of Bessemer, Alabama. The Bonds were
sold on May 27, 1987. The transaction has the form of a lease;
however, the economic substance of the lease is that the Company
financed the construction through the lease, and accordingly, the
property and the accompanying debt is recorded in the Company's
assets and liabilities. The lease contains a bargain purchase
option and expires or is cancelable at the debt repayment date.
The lease provides for minimum lease payments sufficient to cover
the debt service and related expenses. The bonds were purchased by
Compass Bank. The original bond indenture had an interest rate of
9.625% until May 1, 1997, at which time the rate was scheduled to
become variable at 3% above the six month treasury bill index. In
September 1994, the indenture was amended to bear interest at a
fixed rate of 8.625%. The amendment allows the Company to prepay
up to $750,000 of principal each year without penalty. There is a
formula redemption fee for prepayments in excess of $750,000
annually prior to April 1, 2002. The loan agreement gives the bond
purchaser a security interest in all the assets of the Company,
except inventory, and places certain restrictions and performance
requirements on the Company for the period of the loan. These
restrictions include a limit of 50% of the patronage dividend being
paid in cash and limits the amount of capital expenditures and
additional debt which may be incurred by the Company.
The Company was in substantial compliance with all
requirements of the loan at July 28, 1995 and as of the date of
this report.
Financing arrangements for the expansion have been negotiated
with Compass Bank whereby $10,000,000 is available
under a three year revolving line of credit at the bank's
prime rate or 175 basis points over LIBOR, whichever is lower. The
line will decline $1,000,000 per year for three years and is
expected to be renegotiated prior to maturity.
ITEM 3 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no material legal proceedings against the Company or
its subsidiaries other than ordinary routine litigation incidental
to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries.
ITEM 4 - SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO
A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
Not Applicable
PART II
ITEM 5 - MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY
AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
Because stock ownership is limited to approved retail grocery
store operators, there is no established public trading market for
the Common Stock of the Company.
As of September 30, 1995, there were approximately 180 record
holders of Common Stock.
The Company is authorized to declare and pay regular dividends
on Common Stock, but none have been declared or paid, nor is it
anticipated that any will be paid as long as net profits of the
Company in excess of the approved retainage (which is currently
$400,000 per year) are distributed to member-stockholders through
patronage dividends.

ITEM 7 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
Results of Operations
The Company's sales increased 8.2% in 1995, 5.4% in 1994 and
2.4% in 1993. The increases were the result of additional stores
added to the customer base.
Gross profit as a percent of sales was 6.8% in 1995, 7.0% in
1994 and 7.3% in 1993, while operating expenses as a percent of
sales were 5.4% in 1995 and 1994, and 6.0% in 1993.
Operating expenses increased 7.8% in 1995 and decreased
5.8% in 1994 and 7.0% in 1993. The 1995 increase was due largely
to the increase in labor costs. The 1994 and 1993 net
decreases in operating expenses were due to the reduction of
operating expenses at the subsidiary level (they were zero in
1994). Operating expenses at the wholesale level increased 6.2% in
1994 and 6.3% during 1993. These increases were due largely to
increases in employment related expenses. For the fiscal years
1995, 1994 and 1993 employment related expenses averaged 62% of
total operating expenses and 3.3% of sales. These expenses
increased 12.4% in 1995, 7.1% in 1994 and 9.0% in 1993. These
increases were due to increases in retail services to member
customers, the cost of health insurance and other employee
benefits, and increases in sales volume.
Operating income decreased 3.8% in 1995, increased 35.5% in
1994 and decreased 16.6% in 1993. The 1995 decrease was due to the
decline in gross profit and miscellaneous income. The 1994
increase was due to increased sales volume, stabilization of
expenses as a percent of sales and the end of the operation of the
retail subsidiary in 1993. The 1993 changes were due to the
increase in operating expenses discussed above.
The financial expenses of the Company have declined by 23% in
1995. This decline was due to the reduction in long-term debt.
The warehouse facility debt is being reduced on schedule, and an
additional payment of $750,000 was made on the debt in May 1994 and
August 1994. The perishable warehouse mortgage of $399,000 was
paid in January 1993, the patronage dividend notes of $1,072,000
due in 1997 were paid in January 1993, and the patronage dividend
notes of $985,205 due in 1998 and 1999 were paid in December 1993.
The financial expenses will increase as the debt required for the
warehouse expansion begins in 1996.
Because all income in excess of $400,000 is returned to the
member-stockholders as a patronage dividend, once net income has
reached the $400,000 level, it does not change with overall
profitability.
The patronage dividend was 1.00% of sales in 1995, 1.03% of
sales in 1994 and 0.58% of sales in 1993.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's liquidity need relate primarily to (1) working
capital to support increased levels of inventories and receivables,
and (2) funding of capital expenditures. In recent years, the
Company has met these needs in a number of ways. The construction
of the new warehouse and operating facility was funded with
long-term debt. The portion of capital expenditures for
replacement and additional delivery vehicles are funded through
capital leases. Other capital expenditures have been funded from
cash generated by operations and from member-stockholders'
equalization purchases of Common Stock (each member store is
required to own stock equal in value to 125% of its average weekly
retail sales), except for occasional short-term borrowing to match
cash flow needs. During the last three years such short-term
borrowings have not been necessary. The Company does not
experience significant seasonal fluctuations in demand for working
capital.
It is management's belief that the items in the balance sheet
which most clearly reflect the Company's liquidity condition are
the merchandise inventories, trade accounts receivable and accounts
payable. Merchandise inventories turn approximately 17 times per
year. The majority of trade accounts receivable are paid within 7
days of weekly billing, On the average, all trade accounts
receivable are paid within approximately 10 days. The Company pays
merchandise vendor payables within the period of discount terms.
The average number of days within which accounts payable are paid
is approximately 10. The ratio of merchandise inventory plus trade
accounts receivable to accounts payable is approximately 2 to 1.
The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 1.1 in 1995,
1.7 in 1994 and 1.8 in 1993.
The Company's Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws require
that all member-stockholders own Common Stock in the Company equal
in value to 125% of their average weekly retail sales. This
requirement tends to insure that as sales of the member-stockholder
increase at the retail level, the cash equity of the Company will
also increase. This increase in cash equity will provide
additional liquidity to the Company to help expand its assets,
including inventories, to meet the larger retail sales volume of
member stores.
Net additions to property, plant and equipment, other than the
construction and equipping of the new warehouse and delivery
vehicles financed through capital leases, were funded from cash
flow from the Company's operations and from stockholders'
equalization. Additions to property, plant and equipment and
capital lease property were $9,460,286, $1,449,481, and $710,668 in
fiscal years 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
The Company's debt to equity ratio was 1.3 in 1995, 1.4 in
1994 and 1.6 in 1993.
Inflation
Inflation has increased many of the Company's costs and
expenses in recent years, particularly repairs and maintenance and
employment related costs. However, the Company has increased its
gross sales volume during the recent years while improving
efficiency in distribution and administration. Management
estimates that inflation increased expenses during the last three
years by 3% annually.

AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
July 28, 1995, July 29, 1994 and July 30, 1993
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business
The Company is an Alabama corporation that operates as a
wholesale grocery cooperative, which provides wholesale groceries
and grants credit to its stockholders/customers who are retail
grocery operators in Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, Mississippi,
Florida and North Carolina.
Annually, the Company returns to its stockholders/customers as
a patronage dividend all of its income in excess of an amount
approved by the stockholders to be retained. The patronage
dividend is required to be distributed within an 8 1/2 month period
after the Company's year end. The retainage amount approved by the
stockholders for the years ended July 28, 1995, July 29, 1994 and
July 30, 1993, was $400,000.
As more fully described in Note 11 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company acquired the
operating assets and began operation of four retail grocery stores
during the fiscal year ended July 27, 1990. These operating assets
were sold in February 1993 and the Subsidiary was inactive at July
28, 1995 and July 29, 1994.
The fiscal years ended July 28, 1995, July 29, 1994 and July
30, 1993 are composed of 52 weeks.
Basis of Consolidation
The financial statements include the accounts of Piggly Wiggly
Alabama Distributing Co., Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, BLM
Enterprises, Inc. BLM was inactive at July 28, 1995 and July 29,
1994.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an
original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash
equivalents.
Bad Debts
Bad debts are charged to expense when deemed uncollectible
under the specific write-off method, which approximates the amount
of bad debts had the reserve method been used.
Inventories
The wholesale inventory is valued at the lower of cost,
last-in, first-out (LIFO) or market. If the first-in, first-out
(FIFO) method of inventory pricing had been used by the Company,
inventory would have been approximately $3,766,000 and $3,762,000
higher than reported at July 28, 1995 and July 29, 1994,
respectively.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation on
buildings and improvements is determined under the straight-line
method over the estimated useful life of the buildings, and
substantially all other assets are depreciated under accelerated
and straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the
assets.
Estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:
Buildings and improvements 25 - 35 years
Machinery and equipment 5 - 10 years
Automobiles 3 - 5 years
Amortization of Intangibles and Leased Property Under Capital Leases
Loan costs and origination fees are being amortized on the
straight-line method over the life of the loan. Amortization of
leased property under capital leases is computed under the
straight-line method over the term of the leases.
NOTE 2 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
A summary of property and equipment and accumulated
depreciation at July 28, 1995 and July 29, 1994 is as follows:

NOTE 3 - DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS
The Company leases vehicles used in the delivery of
merchandise. The vehicle leases are generally for 5 years and are
classified as capital leases. The leases are cancelable after one
year at either the lessee's or lessor's option, with 120 days
notification to the other party. The leases require the Company to
purchase the vehicles at a determinable value, but not less than
approximately 20% of original value if the Company cancels the
leases. If the lessor cancels the leases, the Company has the
option of purchasing the vehicles at a determinable value but not
less than approximately 20% of original value. The leasing
arrangement provides for contingent minimum lease payment increases
or decreases based on the annual rise or fall of the automotive
section of the Consumer Price Index, excluding fuel prices.
The following is a schedule by years of future minimum lease
payments under capital leases together with the present value of
the net minimum lease payments as of July 28, 1995.

Total amortization $ 619,033 $ 564,368 $ 525,384
NOTE 4 - COMMON STOCK PURCHASE DEPOSITS
Each stockholder/customer retail operator is required to
purchase and maintain by additional purchases, if necessary, an
amount of stock equal in value to 125% of the operator's average
weekly retail sales. The normal terms of the initial stock
purchase are a minimum 15% down payment with the balance to be paid
by a 1 1/4% addition to weekly purchases from the Company by the
retail operator. Common stock certificates equivalent to the 15%
down payment are issued within ninety (90) days of the down
payment. Additionally, equivalent shares are issued at least
annually for subscription payments received. Common stock purchase
deposits represent amounts paid under subscriptions for shares that
have not yet been issued. There are 15,409 shares under
subscription at July 28, 1995 at an average price of $ 219.09. At
July 29, 1994, 15,333 shares were under subscription at an average
price of $216.24.
Common stock purchase deposits are nonforfeitable by the
operator and are refundable if the operator dies or ceases to do
business with the Company. The Company has the right to offset
these deposits and common stock against amounts due the Company on
termination of membership.
The Certificate of Incorporation grants the Company an
irrevocable option to redeem shares of any stockholder who dies or
ceases to be served by the warehouse. The redemption price for
shares redeemed in this manner is determined annually by the Board
of Directors. The excess of the redemption price over the issue
price for shares redeemed in this manner amounted to $123,372,
$123,436 and $50,735 for the years ended July 28, 1995, July 29,
1994 and July 30, 1993, respectively. The redemption price at July
28, 1995 was $225.04. The redemption price at July 29, 1994 was
$221.94 and at July 30, 1993 the redemption price was $217.99.
NOTE 5 - NOTES PAYABLE AND LONG-TERM DEBT

Deferred patronage dividends - 6,748,758 6,748,758
Totals $1,378,220 $18,988,133 $20,366,353
The Company also has available a $10,000,000 line of credit.
The line bears interest at the bank's prime rate, or an alternative
rate consisting of London Interbank Offering Rate (Libor) plus 1
3/4%. The Company may from time to time elect the Libor Rate for
any portion (multiple of $500,000) or all of the principal balance.
The line and other debts to the Company's lead bank are
cross-collateralized with the Industrial Revenue Bonds and are
secured by substantially all assets of the Company. The bank prime
rate and Libor Rate at July 28, 1995 were 8.75% and 5.88%,
respectively. There were no outstanding draws against this line of
credit at July 28, 1995.
The debentures payable represent short-term loans to the
Company by store operators. The debentures bear interest at
approximately 80% of the bank prime rate. The debentures are
payable on demand; however, there is a partial interest forfeiture
for debentures presented for payment within six months of issue.
The weighted average interest rate on the debentures at July 29,
1995 was approximately 7%.
The deferred compensation payable is the present value
discounted at 10% of an unfunded deferred compensation agreement
with a retired former officer of the Company. The agreement calls
for 10 annual installments of $36,000, commencing January 1, 1994.
The Industrial Revenue Bonds were issued on May 27, 1987, to
finance the construction of a new warehouse, office and
distribution facility. The transaction has the form of a lease,
however, the economic substance of the lease is that the Company is
financing the facility through the lease, and, accordingly, it is
recorded in the Company's assets and liabilities. The lease
contains a bargain purchase option and expires or is cancelable at
the debt repayment date.
The lease provides for minimum lease payments sufficient to
cover the debt service and related expenses. The bonds required
monthly payments of interest only until May 1, 1989, at which time
monthly principal and interest payments of approximately $225,000
began. The original bond indenture had an interest rate of 9.625%
until May 1, 1997, at which time the rate was scheduled to become
variable at 3% above the six month treasury bill index. In
September 1994, the indenture was amended to bear interest at a
fixed rate of 8.625%. The monthly principal and interest payment
is approximately $200,000. The amendment allows the Company to
prepay up to $750,000 of principal each year without penalty.
There is a formula redemption fee for prepayments in excess of
$750,000 annually prior to April 1, 2002.
The bonds are secured by substantially all unencumbered
assets. Additionally, the bonds contain covenants which restrict
the unrelated capital expenditures to $1,000,000 per year on a
cumulative basis over the life of the bonds. The indenture
restricts additional debt, new leases, payment of patronage
dividends, equity levels and the retirement of notes issued as
partial payment of patronage dividends. The indenture requires the
Company to maintain certain financial ratios over the life of the
bonds. At July 28, 1995, and the date of this report, the Company
was in substantial compliance with the bond covenants and
restrictions.
On March 17, 1987, the stockholders approved a plan which
provided for the payment of patronage dividends, 50% in cash and
50% in 10 year 7.5% promissory notes. The deferred patronage
dividends payable represent the portion of the patronage dividends
that were paid in the form of ten year 7.5% promissory notes.
Interest on the notes is paid quarterly. The notes are subordinate
to secured creditors. During the year ended July 29, 1994, the
Company redeemed the 1987 and 1988 deferred patronage dividends
payable amounting to $985,205. During the year ended July 30,
1993, the Company redeemed the 1986 deferred patronage dividends
payable amounting to $1,072,283. There was no gain or loss on the
early redemptions.
The aggregate maturities on the outstanding long-term debt at
July 28, 1995 are as follows:
Year Ending July
1996 $ 1,510,259
1997 1,343,240

NOTE 6 - EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE AND COMMON SHARE EQUIVALENT
Primary earnings per common share and common share equivalent
were computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number
of shares and share equivalents outstanding during the period.
Fully paid stock subscriptions and stock subscriptions priced below
the current redemption price are considered common stock
equivalents for purposes of computing earnings per common share and
common share equivalent. Proceeds from the assumed purchase of
subscribed shares priced below the current redemption price were
assumed to be used to purchase treasury stock at the current
redemption price. The weighted average number of common shares and
common share equivalents outstanding at July 28, 1995 was 75,598
shares (71,197 shares in fiscal 1994 and 66,935 shares in fiscal
1993). Fully diluted earnings per common share and common share
equivalent are computed as above, except that the issue of common
shares under subscription is assumed to take place at the beginning
of the fiscal year when the result is dilutive.
NOTE 7 - PROFIT SHARING PLAN
The Company has a profit sharing plan which covers
substantially all employees. The amount of contributions, if any,
are determined annually by the Board of Directors. The amount of
contributions to the plan charged to expense for the year ended
July 28, 1995 was $238,000 ($225,000 for the year ended July 29,
1994 and $125,000 for the year ended July 30, 1993). It is the
policy of the Company to fund profit sharing cost accrued.
The Company also has a 401(k) plan available to all full-time
employees who have at least one year of service. The Plan allows
electing participants to contribute up to 15% of their compensation
to the Plan. The Company contributes 25% of the first 5% of
elected contributions. The 401(k) plan year is a calendar year.
Company contributions to the Plan for the years ended July 28, 1995
and July 29, 1994 amounted to approximately $50,000.
NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES
During the year ended July 30, 1993, the Company and its
subsidiaries adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
Statement No. 109 - Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS 109). The
Company and its subsidiaries had previously used the liability
method for computing deferred taxes. Under the liability method,
the deferred tax liability is determined based on the difference
between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and
liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates which are expected
to be in effect when these differences reverse. Adoption of SFAS
109 did not have a material effect on the financial statements and
did not require restatement of the prior periods. Deferred tax
expense is the result of changes in the deferred tax liability.
A reconciliation of the statutory provision for income taxes
to financial reporting is as follows:
1995 1994 1993
Pre-tax income from domestic operations $ 400,000 $ 400,000 $ 400,000

NOTE 10 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of
cash investments and trade accounts receivable.
The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents in various
accounts with a financial institution located in Alabama. Accounts
at the financial institution are insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. At July 28, 1995, and July
29, 1994, the Company's uninsured cash balance totaled
approximately $2,781,900 and $1,908,200, respectively. The Company
performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of
this financial institution as a part of its overall cash investment
strategy.
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts
receivable are limited due to the large number of entities
comprising the Company's customer base and the stockholder/customer
relationship.

Report on Executive Compensation
The Board of Directors determines the compensation of the
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and other executive officers of the
Company. The Company's executive compensation program consists of
two primary components; base salary and annual bonus. Base salary
is the foundation of executive compensation. Base salaries are
reviewed annually and adjusted, if deemed appropriate. In
determining the compensation of the CEO and other executive
officers, the Board considers a number of factors, including
individual performance and achievement of each of the executive
officers. The Board's approval of such compensation has generally
been based on its subjective analysis of what it considers to be
reasonable and appropriate base salary and bonus for the CEO and
other executive officers taking into consideration their individual
job responsibilities and performance and the financial performance
of the Company during the prior fiscal year.
Deferred Compensation Plan
The Deferred Compensation Plan, as amended, for J. Terrell
Wooten, the former President and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company provides that he will be paid 10 annual payments of $36,000
each beginning in 1994.
Profit Sharing Plan
The Company has maintained a Profit Sharing Plan ("Plan") for
the benefit of all of its employees since December 31, 1976. Employees
become participants of the Plan during the first Plan Year
following their employment date in which they have accrued a
minimum of 1,000 hours of employment service. Annual contributions
are made to the Plan by the Company in amounts determined by the
Board of Directors. All contributions to the Plan are allocated to
the participants' accounts pursuant to a formula based on a
participant's credit units. Participants receive one credit unit
for each $1,000 of annual compensation and two credit units for
each year of service. The Company's annual contribution is
allocated among the participants' accounts in the same proportion
that each participant's credit units bear to the credits units of
all participants for that year. A participant's account vests
after five years. At death, disability or retirement, each
participant or beneficiary is paid the amount in the participant's
account. If the participant's employment is terminated, the
participant's vested account balance may be distributed to the
participant depending on the value of the account and consent of
the participant. Payment may be made in lump sum or in
installments.
401(k) Plan
Effective January 1, 1991, the Company adopted the Piggly Wiggly
Alabama Distributing Co., Inc. 401(k) Plan (the "Plan") pursuant to
Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. This Plan permits
eligible employees to save a portion of their compensation annually
on a before-tax basis, which are referred to as "Elective
Deferrals". The Company may make a Matching Contribution from year
to year of up to 5% of a participating employee's eligible
compensation. The company is not obligated to make any Matching
Contributions. In addition, the Company may make annual
Discretionary Contributions in amounts as it may choose. The
Company is not obligated to make any Discretionary Contributions.
The Plan provides for distributions in the event of
retirement, death, disability or termination of employment.
Contributions to the Plan which are elected by the
employee ("Elective Deferrals") are 100% vested immediately.
Matching Contributions and Discretionary Contributions made by the
employer vest according to a vesting schedule.
