SFW HOLDING CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
May 1, 1999 and May 2, 1998
---------------------------
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - GENERAL
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the
financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those
estimates.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of May 1, 1999 and for the
13 weeks ended May 1, 1999, and May 2,1998, of the Company has been prepared by
the Company without an audit. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") have been 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 May 1,
1999, and the results of its operations for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 1999, and
May 2, 1998. As a result of the Dart Acquisition (defined in Note 2) certain
financial statement and related footnote amounts for periods prior to the Dart
Acquisition are not comparable to corresponding amounts subsequent to the Dart
Acquisition. In addition, the results of operations for the 13 weeks ended May
1, 1999, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for
the fiscal year ending January 29, 2000.
SFW Holding's sole purpose is to own 100% of the stock of its sole subsidiary,
Shoppers Food Warehouse Corp. ("Shoppers").
NOTE 2 - ACQUISITION
On May 18,1998, a wholly-owned subsidiary ("Acquisition Subsidiary") of Richfood
Holdings, Inc. ("Richfood") acquired all of the outstanding shares of Dart Group
Corporation ("Dart"), which indirectly owns 100% of the outstanding common stock
of the Company, for $160 per share, net to the seller in cash, or approximately
$201 million (the "Dart Acquisition"). In connection with the Dart Acquisition,
Richfood caused the Acquisition Subsidiary to merge with and into Dart (the
"Merger") in a transaction in which Dart became a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Richfood. As a result of the Merger, Richfood indirectly owns 100% of the
outstanding common stock of the Company.
Richfood has accounted for the Dart Acquisition using the purchase method of
accounting, and accordingly, a new accounting basis began as of the effective
date. The assets and liabilities of Shoppers have been adjusted to reflect their
estimated fair values as of the effective date of the Dart Acquisition. The
excess of the Dart Acquisition purchase price over net assets acquired
(goodwill) has been pushed-down to Shoppers. This goodwill of approximately $317
million is being amortized on a straight line basis over 40 years.
7
Richfood is operating Shoppers as a distinct unit separate from its other retail
and wholesale operations and has indicated that it does not presently plan to
make any material changes to Shoppers' strategic focus or operational format.
NOTE 3 - LITIGATION
In the ordinary course of business, Shoppers is a party to various legal actions
that the Company believes are routine in nature and incidental to the operation
of its business. The Company believes that the outcome of the proceedings to
which Shoppers currently is a party will not have a material adverse effect upon
Shoppers' business, financial condition or results of operations.
NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES
The Company's effective income tax rate increased to 56.0% for the 13 weeks
ended May 1, 1999, from 47.0% for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 1998. This increase
is primarily attributable to an increase in nondeductible amortization
associated with goodwill arising from the Dart Acquisition.
NOTE 5 - MERGER OF RICHFOOD
On June 9, 1999, Richfood announced that it had entered into an Agreement and
Plan of Merger (the "Agreement"), dated as of June 9, 1999, among SUPERVALU
INC., a Delaware corporation ("SUPERVALU"), Winter Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware
corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of SUPERVALU ("Acquisition"), and
Richfood. Under the terms of the Agreement, Richfood will be merged with and
into Acquisition (the "Merger") with Acquisition being the surviving
corporation. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and the approval
by Richfood's shareholders, as well as other customary conditions, and is
expected to be consummated prior to the end of calendar 1999. Following the
consummation of the Merger, the Company will become an indirect, wholly-owned
subsidiary of SUPERVALU.
NOTE 6 - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Transactions with Richfood
- --------------------------
The May 1, 1999 Consolidated Balance Sheet includes $12.4 million due to
affiliates. This amount consists primarily of amounts due for income taxes,
inventory purchases, and general and administrative expenses.
Transactions with Dart
- ----------------------
On September 26, 1997, Shoppers loaned Dart $25.0 million that Dart used to fund
a portion of the settlement with certain members of the Haft family who were
stockholders of Dart. On January 28, 1998, Shoppers loaned Dart an additional
$25.0 million used to fund a settlement with Herbert H. Haft, who was a
stockholder of Dart. Both of the loans are in the form of promissory notes that
bear interest at 9 3/4% per annum, compounded annually. Interest and principal
are payable on June 15, 2004.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
Outlook
- -------
Except for historical information, statements in this Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 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.
Actual results may differ materially due to a variety of factors, including the
Company's ability to open new stores and the effect of regional economic
conditions. Shoppers undertakes no obligation and does not intend to update,
revise or otherwise publicly release the result of any revisions to these
forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect future events or
circumstances, other than through its regular quarterly and annual reports filed
with the SEC.
Richfood operates Shoppers as a distinct unit within its retail division and
does not presently plan to make any material changes to Shoppers' strategic
focus or operational format.
On June 9, 1999, Richfood announced that it had entered into an Agreement and
Plan of Merger (the "Agreement"), dated as of June 9, 1999, among SUPERVALU
INC., a Delaware corporation ("SUPERVALU"), Winter Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware
corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of SUPERVALU ("Acquisition"), and
Richfood. Under the terms of the Agreement, Richfood will be merged with and
into Acquisition (the "Merger") with Acquisition being the surviving
corporation. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and the approval
by Richfood's shareholders, as well as other customary conditions, and is
expected to be consummated prior to the end of calendar 1999. Following the
consummation of the Merger, the Company will become an indirect, wholly-owned
subsidiary of SUPERVALU.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
13 Weeks Ended May 1, 1999 Compared with the 13 Weeks
- -----------------------------------------------------
Ended May 2, 1998 (unaudited)
- -----------------------------
Sales increased by $6.1 million (2.8%), from $214.0 million during the 13 weeks
ended May 2, 1998, to $220.1 million during the 13 weeks ended May 1, 1999. The
sales increase was primarily due to one new store opened in July 1998 and the
maturation of stores that opened in 1997, offset, in part, by the closure of one
store in the thirteen week period ended May 1, 1999. Comparable store sales
decreased 1.2 % during the 13 weeks ended May 1, 1999. The decrease in
comparable store sales was primarily due to the new stores drawing customers
from existing Shoppers stores and competitive market conditions.
Gross profit increased by $5.6 million (11.3%), from $49.5 million during the 13
weeks ended May 2, 1998, to $55.1 million during the 13 weeks ended May 1, 1999.
Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, increased to 25.0% during the 13 weeks
ended May 1, 1999, from 23.1% during the 13 weeks ended May 2, 1998. The
increase was primarily due to a pro-active pricing strategy on selected items, a
reduction of the number of items offered on special discount, and higher
allowance income achieved through increased vendor participation.
9
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations (Continued)
Selling and administrative expenses increased by approximately $3.7 million
(9.2%), from $40.2 million during the 13 weeks ended May 2, 1998, to $43.9
million during the 13 weeks ended May 1, 1999. Selling and administrative
expenses, as a percentage of sales, increased from 18.8% during the 13 weeks
ended May 2, 1998, to 19.9 % during the 13 weeks ended May 1, 1999. The increase
was primarily attributable to increased payroll costs associated with negotiated
union rates and to expenses associated with a new store that opened in July
1998.
Depreciation and amortization increased by $1.0 million from $2.9 million during
the 13 weeks ended May 2, 1998, to $3.9 million during the 13 weeks ended May 1,
1999. The increase was primarily due to additional amortization of acquisition
related goodwill, and to additional depreciation and amortization of fixed
assets purchased for the new store opening.
Operating income was $7.3 million for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 1999, compared
to $6.4 million during the same period in the prior year. The increase was
primarily due to increased gross profit, and partially offset by increased
selling and administrative expenses.
Interest income decreased $0.4 million during the 13 weeks ended May 1, 1999,
compared to the 13 weeks ended May 2, 1998, due to a reduction in the amount of
cash available for investment purposes.
Interest expense decreased approximately $1.1 million from $5.5 million during
the 13 weeks ended May 2, 1998, to $4.4 million during the 13 weeks ended May 1,
1999, primarily as a result of the increased amortization associated with the
write-up of the Company's Senior Notes, due 2004, in connection with the Dart
Acquisition.
The effective income tax rate for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 1999, was 56.0%
compared to 47.0% for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 1998. The increase is primarily
attributable to nondeductible amortization of acquisition related goodwill.
Net income increased by $0.5 million, from $ 1.2 million during the 13 weeks
ended May 2, 1998, to $1.7 million during the 13 weeks ended May 1, 1999. The
increase was primarily attributable to increased gross margins and decreased
interest expense, and was offset, in part, by increased selling and general
administrative expenses and income tax expense.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The Company's principal source of liquidity is expected to be cash flow from
operations. It is anticipated that Shoppers' principal uses of liquidity will be
to provide working capital, finance capital expenditures and meet debt service
requirements.
During the thirteen weeks ended May 1, 1999, operating activities used net cash
of $4.2 million, compared to generating net cash of $11.5 million during the
thirteen weeks ended May 2, 1998. The decrease was primarily due to cash
generated from operating activities for the thirteen weeks ended May 1, 1999,
that was used to fund amounts due to an affiliate. The balance due to affiliate
was $12.4 million at May 1, 1999, compared to $26.0 million at January 30, 1999.
10
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations (Continued)
For the 13 weeks ended May 1, 1999, investing activities used approximately $0.8
million of Shoppers' funds for capital expenditures. For the thirteen weeks
ended May 2, 1998, investing activities used approximately $2.7 million of
Shoppers' funds for capital expenditures and $2.1 million for the purchase of
short-term investments. Shoppers estimates that it will make total capital
expenditures of approximately $22.5 million during the 52 weeks ending January
29, 2000.
Financing activities used $0.2 million of the Company's funds during the 13
weeks ended May 1, 1999, compared to $0.3 million during the 13 weeks ended May
2, 1998.
The Company believes that cash flows from Shoppers' operations will be adequate
to meet its anticipated requirements for working capital, debt service and
capital expenditures over the next few years.
Year 2000 Compliance
- --------------------
References herein to Richfood are based on information provided by Richfood to
the Company.
The "Year 2000" issue is the result of computer systems and software programs
using only two digits rather than four to define a year. As a result, computer
systems that have date-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as
the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. Unless remedied, the Year 2000 issue
could result in system failures, miscalculations, and the inability to process
necessary transactions or engage in similar normal business activities. In
addition to computer systems and software, any equipment using embedded chips,
such as switch gear, controllers and telephone exchanges, could also be at risk.
As a result of the Dart Acquisition, the Company's computer systems and software
programs are being incorporated into Richfood's. Richfood has developed, and has
begun implementing, a strategic, long-term information technology plan (the
"Strategic Plan") to upgrade its core application systems. Concurrently,
Richfood has developed and is implementing a plan (the "Y2K Plan") to ensure
that its information systems are Year 2000 compliant. The Y2K Plan focuses on
the following three major areas:
o Information technology systems ("IT").
o Embedded technology and other systems ("Non-IT").
o Key third party relationships.
Based on the Strategic Plan and assessments conducted as part of the Y2K Plan,
Richfood determined that it would be necessary to modify or replace portions of
its software and certain hardware systems so that such systems will properly
recognize dates beyond December 31, 1999. Richfood presently believes that with
11
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations (Continued)
the modification or replacement of existing software and certain hardware
systems, the Year 2000 issue can be significantly mitigated. However, if such
modifications and replacements are not made, or are not completed in a timely
manner, the Year 2000 issue could have a material adverse effect on the
financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
Richfood's Y2K Plan, as it pertains to the Company, involves the following three
phases:
o Assessment -- locating, listing and prioritizing the specific
technology that is potentially subject to Year 2000 issues,
assessing the actual exposure of such technology to the Year
2000 issue, and planning/scheduling the allocation of internal
and third party resources for the remediation effort.
o Remediation/Testing of non-compliant systems - selecting and
executing the method necessary to resolve the Year 2000 issues
that were identified, including replacement, upgrade, repair
or abandonment and testing the remediated or converted
technology to determine the efficacy of the resolutions.
o Implementation- placing remediated technology into operation.
The assessment phase has been completed with respect to IT and Non-IT systems
that Richfood believes could be adversely affected by the Year 2000 issue. The
assessment indicated that many of the Company's significant information systems
could be adversely affected, particularly the general ledger, human resources,
payroll, and point of sale systems. Non-IT systems, including telephones,
loss-prevention and food production systems, are also being validated; however,
the Company believes that non-compliance of the Non-IT systems does not pose a
significant risk to the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
With respect to IT systems, the remediation/testing phase is approximately 88%
complete, with an expected completion date of September 1999, and the
implementation phase is expected to continue until October 1999. Certain point
of sale software systems and all time and attendance systems will be upgraded or
replaced during 1999. Additionally, human resources, payroll and general ledger
system software upgrades are expected to be completed by August 1999.
The majority of the Company's Non-IT systems are currently Year 2000 compliant;
however, certain systems, which include telephones, will need to be upgraded or
replaced. The Non-IT systems remediation/testing phase is approximately 77%
complete and full implementation is expected by July 1999.
Richfood's evaluation of the Year 2000 readiness of the Company's material
suppliers (Richfood is the Company's primary supplier), customers and other
third parties, has not identified any class of third party providers that could
materially impact the Company's results of operations in the event of their
failure to become Year 2000 compliant. However, there can be no assurance that
the failure of any unrelated third parties to become Year 2000 compliant in a
timely manner would not result in a material adverse effect on the Company's
results of operations or financial condition.
12
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations (Continued)
Total costs associated with the Company's Year 2000 remediation are expected to
be approximately $3.4 million. Of this amount, approximately $3.0 million has,
or is expected to be capitalized, in accordance with GAAP, with approximately
$650,000 capitalized to date, and the Company expects to pay the majority of the
remaining costs over the next five months. All expenditures by the Company
related to the Y2K Plan will be funded by cash flow from operations and are not
expected to impact other operating or investment plans. No material information
technology projects have been deferred as a result of the implementation of the
Y2K Plan.
The aforementioned costs of the Y2K Plan and the completion dates are based on
management's best estimates, which were derived from assumptions of future
events, including the availability of resources, key third party modification
plans and other factors. There can be no assurance that these estimates will
prove to be accurate, and actual results could vary due to uncertainties.
Although the Y2K Plan is expected to be adequate to address the Company's Year
2000 concerns, the Company could experience a material adverse effect on its
results of operations or financial condition if its Year 2000 compliance
schedule is not met, if the costs to remediate the Company's Year 2000 issues
significantly exceed current estimates or if material suppliers, customers and
other businesses encounter serious problems in their Year 2000 remediation
efforts. Therefore, Richfood and the Company are in the process of developing
plans to address such contingencies, with a focus on mission critical systems.
The Company and Richfood expect to complete contingency plans in September 1999
and expect that such plans may include provisions relating to, among other
things, manual workarounds and adjusting staffing strategies, and will describe
the communications, operations and IT activities that will be utilized if the
contingency plans must be executed.
Richfood's Year 2000 efforts are ongoing and the Y2K Plan will continue to
evolve as new information becomes available. The failure to correct a material
Year 2000 issue could result in an interruption in certain normal business
activities and operations. Due to the general uncertainty inherent in the Year
2000 issue, resulting in part from the uncertainty of the Year 2000 readiness of
third parties upon whom Richfood and the Company rely, the Company is unable to
determine at this time whether the consequences of Year 2000 failures will have
a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of
operations. However, the Company believes that, with the implementation of the
Y2K Plan as scheduled, the possibility of significant interruptions of normal
operations should be reduced.
Item 2A. 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 Company does
not have any other financial instruments that result in material exposure to
interest rate risk.
