               This Amendment No. 2 on Form 8-K/A (this "Amendment") is being
filed by Delhaize America, Inc., a North Carolina corporation ("Delhaize
America" or the "Registrant"), to amend Item 7 of the Registrant's Current
Report on Form 8-K dated July 31, 2000, filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") on August 15, 2000 (the "Initial Report") and Amendment
No. 1 filed with the SEC on October 16, 2000. This Amendment and the Initial
Report relate to the merger (the "Merger") of FL Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Maine
corporation wholly-owned by Delhaize America, with and into Hannaford Bros. Co.,
a Maine corporation ("Hannaford"), resulting in Hannaford becoming a wholly
owned subsidiary of Delhaize America. Pursuant to Rule 12b-15 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the complete text of Item 7, as
amended, is set forth below.

Item 7.        Financial Statements and Exhibits

Item 7(a).     Financial Statements of Business Acquired

               The required financial information of Hannaford is hereby
incorporated by reference to Hannaford's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
period ended January 1, 2000, filed with the SEC on March 10, 2000, Hannaford's
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended April 1, 2000,
filed with the SEC on May 5, 2000, and Exhibit 99.3 attached hereto.

Item 7(b).     Pro Forma Financial Information

               The following unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed
financial statements give effect to the Merger applying the purchase method of
accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The
unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed statements of income also include
adjustments to exclude the results of operations of HomeRuns.Com, an internet
based grocery retail business, which prior to February 14, 2000, was a wholly
owned subsidiary of Hannaford. On February 14, 2000, Hannaford sold HomeRuns.com
retaining an 8% minority interest in the re-capitalized entity. Hannaford has
since accounted for this investment using the cost method. Refer to Note 1,
Basis of Presentation, included herein for further information regarding
HomeRuns.com.

               The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed financial
statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations or financial position that would have
been realized had Delhaize America and Hannaford been a consolidated company
during the specified periods, nor are they necessarily indicative of future
consolidated results of operations or financial position.

               The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed statements of
income assumes that the Merger had occurred at the beginning of the earliest
fiscal period presented. The six-month period of 2000 includes the 24-week
period ended June 17, 2000 for Delhaize America and the 26-week period ended
July 1, 2000 for Hannaford. The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed
balance sheet assumes that the Merger was completed as of June 17, 2000.

               The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed financial
statements are based on (i) the historical financial statements of Delhaize
America as of and for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2000, as reported in
Delhaize America's Annual Report on Form 10-K for such period, and as of and for
the 24-week period ended June 17, 2000, as reported in Delhaize America's
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for such period, and (ii) the historical financial
statements of Hannaford as of and for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2000, as
reported in Hannaford's Annual Report on Form 10-K for such period, and the
interim financial statements prepared by Hannaford as of and for the 26-week
period ended July 1, 2000, filed as Exhibit 99.3 hereto. These unaudited pro
forma consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction
with and are qualified by the above referenced historical consolidated financial
statements of Delhaize America and Hannaford and related notes thereto.

    NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

        The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed financial information has
been prepared applying the purchase method of accounting assuming the Merger,
effective July 31, 2000, occurred, as of the beginning of the earliest fiscal
period presented, with respect to the pro forma statements of income, and, as of
June 17, 2000 with respect to the pro forma balance sheet. Under the purchase
method of accounting, the purchase cost is allocated to acquired assets and
liabilities based on their relative fair values at the effective date of the
Merger. The amount by which the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the net
assets acquired has been allocated to goodwill, which will be amortized over
forty years. Such allocations are subject to final adjustments within a one-year
period from the closing date of the transaction. Management does not presently
expect the final allocations to differ materially from the amounts presented
herein.

        The amounts and components of the estimated purchase price reflected in
the unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed financial information are as
follows: (i) approximately $2.3 billion in cash and approximately 13.7 million
shares of Delhaize America Class A common stock valued at approximately $352
million exchanged in the Merger for all the outstanding shares of Hannaford
common stock, (ii) fully vested options to purchase approximately 4.2 million
shares of Delhaize America Class A common stock valued at approximately $40
million, which were converted from options to acquire shares of Hannaford common
stock, and (iii) approximately $0.5 billion in cash and 11.9 million shares of
Delhaize America Class A common stock valued at approximately $306 million paid
to Empire Company Limited and E.C.L. Investments Limited (the "Empire Group") in
a transaction immediately preceding the Merger in exchange for all of the shares
of Hannaford common stock held by the Empire Group.

        The estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed
relating to the acquisition is summarized below (in thousands):

                                                     -----------
                                                     $ 3,487,665


        As previously mentioned, the unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed
financial statements give effect to the Merger applying the purchase method of
accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The
Company engaged an independent valuation firm to perform an appraisal of the
fair market values of certain tangible and intangible assets of Hannaford Bros.
Co. This valuation was used in the allocation of the purchase price to acquired
assets and liabilities.

        The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed financial information
reflects pro forma adjustments for (i) the allocation of the purchase cost to
acquired assets and liabilities, (ii) the sale of 38 Hannaford stores and
closing of 13 Hannaford stores in the southeastern United States in response to
the antitrust review of the Merger by the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") and
(iii) the sale by Hannaford of a majority interest in HomeRuns.com, Inc.
("HomeRuns") on February 14, 2000. The expected synergies to be achieved as a
result of the Merger, estimated at approximately $40 million in the first year
following consummation of the Merger and $75 million annually by year three, are
excluded from the pro forma data.


   8

        In response to an antitrust review of the Merger by the Federal Trade
Commission ("FTC"), Hannaford sold 38 stores and closed 13 stores in the
southeastern United States. Hannaford received proceeds of $70 million for
divested assets with a net book value of approximately $187 million. The book
values of the divested stores were adjusted to their net realizable values in
purchase accounting. The pro forma adjustments for the sale of the 38 stores and
the closing of 13 stores are intended to reflect the operating results and
balance sheet of Hannaford as if these transactions had occurred at the
beginning of the fiscal periods presented.

        Hannaford held a 100% interest in HomeRuns and its results of
operations through February 14, 2000 were included in Hannaford's consolidated
financial statements. Subsequent to the transaction, Hannaford retained an 8%
minority interest in the re-capitalized entity and has accounted for this
investment using the cost method. The pro forma adjustments related to HomeRuns
are intended to reflect the operating results of Hannaford as if the HomeRuns
transaction had occurred at the beginning of the fiscal periods presented.

        A third party investment group acquired approximately 3.2 million newly
issued common shares of HomeRuns for a purchase price of $100 million, or
approximately $30.86 per share. Hannaford continues to hold shares of HomeRuns'
common stock valued at approximately $8.1 million and in connection with the
recapitalization received warrants to purchase 843,362 common shares of HomeRuns
at a purchase price of $30.86 per share. Utilizing a Black Scholes valuation
model, these warrants were valued at approximately $9.23 per share or
approximately $7.8 million in the aggregate. The significant assumptions used in
this valuation model included an interest rate of 6.89% based on a US Treasury
note as of the valuation date maturing at the approximate warrant expiration
date, the average number of years to expiration of the warrants was assumed at
10 years and the estimated discount for lack of marketability of the underlying
stock was set at 30%.

        On an overall basis the recapitalization resulted in shareholders'
equity of HomeRuns of approximately $101.8 million. At an 8% stated minority
interest, Hannaford's beginning investment value was approximately $8.1 million.
That coupled with the warrant value of $7.8 million generated an opening
investment basis of $15.9 million. Comparing the basis subsequent to
recapitalization with Hannaford's carrying value of this investment generated a
pretax gain of $6.3 million. This gain was not recognized for accounting
purposes but was recorded, net of taxes, as an increase to paid-in capital. The
increase to paid-in capital was $3.9 million.

        Historically Hannaford and Delhaize America had different
classifications for certain income statement amounts. Beginning with the quarter
ended September 9, 2000, both entities adopted a common basis for classification
of all income statement items. The reclassifications in the accompanying pro
forma income statements were made to reflect this common classification of
income statement items.

        The pro forma consolidated income statements for the periods ended June
17, 2000 and January 1, 2000 include merger and other non-recurring expenses of
$5.0 million and $10.9 million, respectively, that mainly consist of legal and
investment banking fees.

NOTE 2 - PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

The following pro forma adjustments have been made to the historical financial
statements of Delhaize America and Hannaford based upon assumptions made by
management for the purpose of preparing the unaudited pro forma consolidated
condensed financial statements.

(a)     Includes adjustments related to Hannaford's sale or closure of its 51
        Southeastern United States retail locations. The pro forma adjustments
        reflect (i) elimination of sales, cost of sales and operating costs
        directly associated with these former Hannaford operations as well as
        related assets and liabilities, and (ii) inclusion of proceeds received
        upon sale of divested assets of Southeast stores. The following balance
        sheet pro forma entry, which only relates to the divestiture of the
        Southeast market, was recorded :

(b)     To provide deferred taxes of $173 million related to the temporary
        differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities
        acquired which arose as a result of the purchase price allocation. The
        Company assumed a 38% statutory tax rate for deferred tax purposes as
        this is the historical effective tax rate for 1999. The pro forma entry
        recorded is as follows:

        The temporary differences between the book and tax basis of the assets
        and liabilities acquired and the resulting deferred income tax assets
        and liabilities at June 17, 2000 are as follows:

(c)     To conform Hannaford's inventory accounting method to that used by
        Delhaize America and to eliminate Hannaford's LIFO reserve to properly
        reflect the current fair value of its inventory. The following entry was
        recorded in the pro forma balance sheet:


                                                                  
        Inventories                                     $  16,015
        Shareholders' equity                                            $  16,015


(d)     To adjust Hannaford's long-term assets to current estimated fair market
        value based principally on independent appraisals and values realized
        through the sales of store assets which were under contract as of the
        merger date. Additionally, Hannaford's historical basis in certain
        intangible and other assets was eliminated. The application of purchase
        accounting establishes a new basis of accounting for all assets acquired
        and liabilities assumed in the Merger. Consequently, based on fair
        market value appraisals, the historical basis was


   10

        eliminated since all of Hannaford's intangible and other assets were
        identified and recorded at fair value (See footnote `e'). The following
        pro forma entry was recorded:



                                                                  
        Shareholders' equity                            $  55,320
        Other liabilities - current                     $      60
        Intangible assets                                               $   9,209
        Other assets                                                    $  34,176
        Property                                                        $  11,995


(e)     To record identifiable intangible assets acquired in the Merger,
        principally consisting of trademarks, distribution network, work force,
        favorable lease rights, and prescription files, having an aggregate
        value, based on independent appraisal, of approximately $480 million.
        The following pro forma entry was recorded:



                                                                  
        Intangible assets                               $ 479,912
        Shareholders' equity                                            $ 479,912



(f)     To adjust liabilities assumed in the acquisition to estimated fair value
        based on estimates of current interest rates and market values. Capital
        lease obligations were increased $1.2 million (current) and $12.5
        million (long-term) to adjust to fair value using the current Delhaize
        America discount rates. Long-term debt was reduced $7.5 million to fair
        value using the current Delhaize America long-term borrowing rates.
        Pension and medical plan liabilities were adjusted to the difference
        between plan obligations and plan assets based on actuarial analysis.
        The following pro forma entry was recorded :



                                                                  
        Short term borrowings                           $   1,250
        Notes payable non-current                       $   7,541
        Shareholders' equity                            $   8,422
        Capital lease obligation current                                $   1,300
        Capital lease obligation non-current                            $  12,498
        Other liabilities                                               $   3,415


(g)     To record the bridge financing of approximately $2.8 billion. The cash
        consideration required to complete the merger will be funded through (i)
        a 364 day capital markets bridge facility for up to $2.5 billion and
        (ii) a $500 million five-year syndicated revolving credit facility. A
        public bond offering is planned for long-term financing of the
        transaction. The following pro forma entry was recorded :



                                                                  
        Other assets - Hannaford investment             $3,487,685
        Short term borrowings                                           $2,772,294
        Shareholders' equity                                            $  715,371


(h)     To eliminate the Hannaford equity accounts and record the increase in
        shareholders' equity for the fair value of shares of Delhaize America
        Class A common stock issued in exchange for shares of Hannaford common
        stock and the fair value of the Delhaize America fully vested employee
        stock options which were given in exchange for Hannaford options in
        connection with the Merger. The following pro forma entry was recorded
        to eliminate the investment and record goodwill :



                                                                  
        Common stock par value $75                      $   32,819
        Preferred stock purchase rights                 $      438
        Retained earnings                               $  566,461
        Goodwill                                        $2,594,459
        Additional paid in capital                      $  306,304
        Common stock A                                                  $   12,816
        Other assets - Hannaford investments                            $3,487,665


        The average share price from 3 days before and 3 days after the
        measurement date of August 24, 1999 ($25.69) was used to value the
        Delhaize Class A shares issued as consideration to Hannaford
        shareholders. The fully vested Hannaford options converted to options to
        acquire 4.2 million shares of Delhaize America Class A common stock were
        valued at fair value using the Black-Scholes model.

(i)     Represents the amortization on a straight line basis, of the acquired
        identifiable intangible assets and goodwill resulting from the
        acquisition over the estimated useful lives which range from 2 to 40
        years and the effect on property and equipment depreciation resulting
        from the adjustment to fair market value in the application of purchase
        accounting. Goodwill is amortized over 40 years on a straight line
        basis. The total amortization included is approximately $43 million and
        $85 million for the 24-week period ended June 17, 2000 and year ended
        January 1, 2000, respectively. Refer to footnote "e" above for a
        schedule indicating the asset lives the Company is using to calculate
        amortization expense associated with each material category of
        intangible assets recognized in connection with the acquisition.

        The following table summarizes the useful lives (straight line method)
        used for goodwill and the identified intangible assets.



                                                        VALUATION              USEFUL LIFE

                 Workforce                           $    61 million            2-13 years
                 Favorable lease rights              $    39 million            Lease term
                 Prescription files                  $    28 million              15 years
                 Goodwill                            $ 2,594 million              40 years
                                                     ---------------
                 TOTAL                               $ 3,074 MILLION
                                                     ---------------



(j)     Represents the interest expense effect of approximately $2.6 billion of
        additional debt as a result of the transaction. Management has assumed
        the average interest rate (based on 30 day LIBOR + 1.25%) associated
        with the bridge financing secured for the initial financing of the cash
        consideration in the Merger. The effect of an interest rate change of
        1/8th of one percent would increase/decrease interest expense
        approximately $3.2 million per year for the year ended January 1, 2000
        and $1.6 million for the first 6 months of 2000.

(k)     Represents the anticipated tax effect of the pro forma adjustments
        listed above (excluding goodwill amortization). The principal difference
        in the effective tax rate for the consolidated pro forma statements of
        income relates to the amortization of goodwill. The company assumed a
        38% statutory tax rate for deferred tax purposes.



   12

(l)     Includes shares issued to Hannaford shareholders upon closing of the
        Merger.

(m)     Includes the common stock equivalents associated with Delhaize America
        stock options issued in exchange for fully vested Hannaford stock
        options held by Hannaford employees. Each share of Hannaford common
        stock was converted into the right to receive either 1) $79.00 in cash,
        without interest or 2) the number of shares of Delhaize America Class A
        common stock equal to $79.00 divided by the greater of (a) the DZA price
        or (b) $27.00. Approximately 2.2 million options (directly attributable
        to the Merger) were included in the calculation of dilutive earnings per
        share. These options represent the options issued in connection with the
        merger to replace formerly issued Hannaford options. The 2.2 million
        options were computed using the treasury stock method.

        The following table represents a reconciliation of net income and
        weighted average common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating
        basic and diluted net income per share:



                                                                        24 week period   52 week period
