3) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (Last-in, First-out (LIFO), First-in, First-out (FIFO) and Average Cost) or market. Inventories valued using LIFO method comprised approximately 75% and 74% of inventories
on April 1, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. If the Company did not report under the LIFO method, inventories would have been $55.9 million and $52.8 million greater as of April 1, 2006 and December 31, 2005,
respectively. Application of the LIFO method resulted in an increase in cost of goods sold of $3.1 million and $3.2 million for the 13 weeks ended April 1, 2006 and April 2, 2005, respectively.

The Company evaluates inventory shrinkage throughout the year based on actual physical counts in its stores and distribution centers and records adjustments based on the
results of these counts applied to the total inventory to provide for the estimated shrinkage as of the balance sheet date. Shrinkage refers to the difference in the amount of inventory the Company initially records and the actual inventory on hand.
Shrinkage primarily occurs in perishable items, due to spoilage, breakage and other inventory losses.

4) Supplier Allowances

The Company receives allowances, credits and income from suppliers primarily for volume incentives, new product introductions, in-store promotions and co-operative advertising. Volume incentives are based on contractual arrangements
generally covering a period of one year or less and have been included in the cost of inventory and recognized as earned in cost of sales when the product is sold. New product introduction allowances compensate the Company for costs incurred
associated with product handling and have been deferred and recognized as a reduction in cost of sales over the product introductory period.

Non-refundable credits from suppliers for in-store promotions such as product displays require related activities by the Company. Similarly, co-operative advertising requires the Company to conduct the related advertising. In-store
promotion and co-operative advertising income is recorded as a reduction in the cost of inventory and recognized in cost of sales when the product is sold unless the allowance represents the reimbursement of a specific, incremental and identifiable
cost incurred by the Company to sell the vendors product. The Company has reviewed the funding received from vendors for in-store promotions and co-operative advertising and concluded that these arrangements are primarily for general
advertising purposes and not the reimbursement of a specific, incremental and identifiable cost incurred by the Company.

Total supplier allowances
recognized in cost of sales for the 13 weeks ended April 1, 2006 and April 2, 2005, are shown below:

5) Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

Stock Option Plans

The Companys employees are eligible to participate in a stock option plan of its parent
company, the Delhaize Group 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the Delhaize Group Plan), under which options to purchase Delhaize Group American Depository Shares (ADSs) may be granted to officers and key employees at prices equal to
fair market value on the date of the grant. The Board of Directors of Delhaize Group determines on the date of grant when options become exercisable provided that no option may be exercised more than ten years after the date of grant. Unlike option
exercises under the Prior Plans (defined below), the exercise of options under the Delhaize Group Plan by an optionee results in the issuance of new Delhaize Group ordinary shares through a capital increase of the Companys parent, Delhaize
Group. In connection with the exercise of an option, the optionee pays the exercise price to Delhaize Group. Additionally, the Company pays Delhaize Group an amount equal to the difference between the exercise price of the option and the fair market
value of the ADSs on the date of exercise, which totaled $13.0 million and $9.4 million for the 13 weeks ended April 1, 2006 and April 2, 2005, respectively. The Company records these payments with a charge to equity (Retained Earnings).
These Company payments are included as part of parent common stock (ADSs) purchased under cash flows from financing activities on the Companys condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Additionally, there are outstanding options to purchase Delhaize Group ADSs under the Companys 1996 Food Lion Plan, 1988 and 1998 Hannaford Plans and 2000 Delhaize
America Plan (collectively, the Prior Plans); however, the Company can no longer grant options under these Prior Plans. The terms and conditions of the Prior Plans are substantially consistent with the current Delhaize Group Plan, with
the exception that the Company purchases ADSs to deliver to persons exercising options under the Prior Plans. For the 13 weeks ended April 1, 2006 and April 2, 2005, the Company acquired 24,900 ADSs for $1.7 million and 71,842 ADSs for
$5.2 million, respectively, to support the exercise of options under the Prior Plans. These Company payments are included as part of parent common stock (ADSs) purchased under cash flows from financing activities on the Companys condensed
consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company records the purchase of such ADSs with a decrease to equity (Additional Paid in Capital) equal to the fair market value of the stock at the time of purchase. When an optionee exercises an option
under a Prior Plan, the Company records a cash receipt for the exercise price with an increase to equity (Additional Paid in Capital). The difference between the exercise price received and the cost to the Company of the ADSs is recorded in equity
accounts (Additional Paid in Capital and Retained Earnings). The Company received proceeds from stock options exercised under the Prior Plans totaling $0.8 million and $2.5 million for the 13 weeks ended April 1, 2006 and April 2, 2005,
respectively.

The Company recorded compensation expense related to stock options of $5.0 million ($4.5 million, net of tax) and $4.7 million ($4.4
million, net of tax) for the 13 weeks ended April 1, 2006 and April 2, 2005, respectively. As of April 1 2006, there was $14.1 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested option shares that is expected to be
recognized over a weighted average period of 1.4 years.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the 13 weeks ended April 1, 2006 and April 2, 2005
was $13.4 million and $10.9 million, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units and Restricted Stock Plan

The Company also has restricted stock (Delhaize Group Restricted ADSs) awards and restricted stock unit awards outstanding for executive employees. Restricted stock unit
awards represent the right to receive the number of ADSs set forth in the award at the vesting date. Unlike awards of restricted stock, no ADSs are issued with respect to these awards until the applicable vesting dates. In May 2002, the Company
ceased granting restricted stock awards and began granting restricted stock unit awards under its 2002 Restricted Stock Unit Plan. The Company purchases ADSs on the open market to support vesting of restricted stock unit awards under the 2002
Restricted Stock Unit Plan. For the 13 weeks ended April 1, 2006, the Company acquired 27,500 ADSs on the open market at a cost of $1.8 million to support vesting of 1,884 restricted stock units awarded under the 2002 Restricted Stock Unit
Plan. This amount is included as part of parent common stock (ADSs) purchased under cash flows from financing activities on the Companys condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. No ADSs were acquired for the restricted stock plan for
the 13 weeks ended April 2, 2005. In addition, the Company withheld and paid on employees behalf related taxes on restricted ADSs vested of $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the 13 weeks ended April 1, 2006 and April 2, 2005,
respectively. These amounts are included as part of parent common stock (ADSs) purchased under cash flows from financing activities on the Companys condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

The Company recorded compensation expense related to restricted stock of $1.5 million ($.9 million, net of tax) and $1.1 million ($.7 million, net of tax) for the 13
weeks ended April 1, 2006 and April 2, 2005, respectively. As of April 1, 2006, there was $12.4 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted share and restricted stock unit compensation arrangements. This cost is
expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years.

The following table summarizes the restricted share and restricted stock unit
transactions for the 13 weeks ended April 1, 2006:

10) Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved in various claims and lawsuits arising out of the normal conduct of its business. Although the ultimate outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the Companys
management believes that the resulting liability, if any, would not have a material effect upon the Companys consolidated results of operation, financial position or liquidity.

The Company continues to experience both federal and state audits of its income tax filings, which it considers to be part of its ongoing business activity. In particular, the Company has experienced an increase in
audit and assessment activity over the past several years, which it expects to continue. While the ultimate outcome of these federal and state audits is not certain, the Company considers the merits of its filing positions in its overall evaluation
of potential tax liabilities and believes it has adequate liabilities recorded in its consolidated financial statements for exposures on these matters. Based on its evaluation of the potential tax liabilities and the merits of its filing positions,
the Company also believes it is unlikely that potential tax exposures over and above the amounts currently recorded as liabilities in its consolidated financial statements will be material to its financial condition or future results of operation.

11) Subsequent Event

On April 17, 2006, the
Company repaid $563.5 million of Notes (7.375%) in full. In addition, in April 2006, the Company borrowed $50.0 million from its $500 million five-year unsecured revolving credit facility to partially fund this repayment.

Item 2.Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation (13 weeks ended April 1, 2006 compared to the 13 weeks ended April 2, 2005)

The following information should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in this quarterly report on Form
10-Q and the audited financial statements and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

Executive Summary

Our company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Delhaize
Group, engages in one line of business: the operation of retail food supermarkets in the eastern United States. We are a holding company that does business primarily under the banners of Food Lion, Hannaford, Kash n Karry, Sweetbay and
Harveys. Our stores sell a wide variety of groceries, produce, meats, dairy products, seafood, frozen food and deli-bakery products, as well as non-food items such as health and beauty care products, prescriptions, and other household and personal
products. We offer nationally and regionally advertised brand name merchandise, as well as products manufactured and packaged for us, primarily under the private labels of Food Lion, Hannaford, Kash n Karry,
Sweetbay and Harveys.

Our business is highly competitive and characterized by narrow profit margins. We compete with national,
regional and local supermarket chains, supercenters, discount food stores, specialty stores, convenience stores, warehouse clubs, drug stores and restaurants. We continue to develop and evaluate new retailing strategies at each of our banners in the
eastern United States to respond to local consumer needs and maintain and increase our market share.

First Quarter of 2006 Highlights:

During the first quarter of 2006, Delhaize America posted increases in sales and improved gross margins, as compared to the first quarter of 2005.

Improvements in sales and gross margins in 2006 as compared to 2005 were the result of a combination of several initiatives, including:



| |  |  | strong promotional and marketing activities focusing on consumer preferences to increase transaction counts and same store sales;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | pricing optimization through the use of multiple price zones;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | continued improvements in margin, shrink management and inventory level management through the use of item-level data provided by our inventory management system (ACIS);
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | expanded offerings in higher-margin departments such as Produce and Deli/Bakery; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | strengthened execution of standard operating practices in our stores, which has improved our in-stock percentages.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sales also improved in the first quarter of 2006 as compared to the first quarter of 2005 due to the exiting of one of our competitors, Winn-Dixie, from several Food
Lion, Kash n Karry and Sweetbay markets during the second half of 2005.

Selling and administrative expenses increased from last year due primarily
to increases in wage rates, health care costs and other benefit costs.

Food Lion continues to remodel stores in its core markets, with ten store
remodelings completed during the first quarter of 2006. In addition, one new Food Lion store was opened and two Food Lion stores were converted to Harveys stores during the first quarter of 2006. The conversions served to further strengthen
Harveys presence in its existing markets.

Hannaford sales were soft in the first quarter of 2006 due to weaker consumer spending associated with
higher energy spending and less winter tourism. Harveys performed well in the first quarter, while in Florida the non-converted Kash n Karry stores continued to suffer.

At Hannaford, six new stores were opened and one store was remodeled within Hannafords existing markets during the first quarter of 2006.

At Sweetbay, one new store was opened and one Kash n Karry store was converted to a Sweetbay store during the first quarter of 2006.

Outlook for the Remainder of 2006:



| |  |  | Food Lion has selected the Washington, D.C. area for its fifth market renewal. The Washington, D.C. area market renewal will entail the remodeling of approximately 80 stores which
will reopen under three different banners of Food Lion, including 40 Bloom stores, 26 Food Lion stores and 14 Bottom Dollar stores. The market renewal is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2006.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | Food Lion will enter a new market in Greenville-Spartanburg, South Carolina, opening three Food Lion stores and six Bloom stores by the end of 2006. This will mark the first time
since 1991 that Food Lion has entered a new geographic market.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Hannaford will continue to open new stores in its existing markets (approximately eight stores for the remainder of 2006) and to evolve its Festival Strategy, which is founded on
the principle of listening to consumers and anticipating their needs. In addition, Hannaford will expand or remodel approximately 11 stores during the remainder of 2006.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Kash n Karry will complete the rebranding of 42 of its remaining 82 Kash n Karry stores (primarily located in the Tampa/St. Petersburg, Florida area) to Sweetbay
Supermarket by the end of 2006.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | An additional four Food Lion stores will be converted to Harveys during the remainder of 2006. In addition, two new Harveys stores will be opened during 2006. These conversions and
new store openings are expected to further leverage the strength of the Harveys brand in its primary markets in Georgia and northern Florida.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have chosen accounting policies we believe are appropriate to accurately and fairly report our operating
results and financial position and we apply these accounting policies in a consistent manner. Our critical accounting policies are summarized in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires that we make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical and other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate these estimates and
assumptions on an ongoing basis and may retain outside consultants, lawyers and actuaries to assist in our evaluation.

Results of Operation

The following tables set forth the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income for the 13 weeks ended April 1, 2006 and for the 13 weeks
ended April 2, 2005 for informational purposes.

Certain accounts in the 2005 condensed consolidated financial statements were reclassified to conform

We record revenues primarily from the sale of products in our retail stores. Net sales and other revenues for the
13 weeks ended April 1, 2006 increased by 2.9% in comparison with the corresponding period of 2005. Comparable store sales increased 1.4% during the first quarter of 2006. Comparable store sales excluding the effect of the timing of Easter
increased 1.7% in the first quarter of 2006 (compared to 0.3% for the first quarter of 2005). The 2006 sales increase was primarily driven by (i) strong promotional and marketing activities focusing on consumer preferences; and (ii) the
exiting of one of our competitors, Winn-Dixie, from several Food Lion, Kash n Karry and Sweetbay markets in the Southeast. Hannaford sales were soft in the first quarter of 2006 due to weaker consumer spending associated with higher energy
spending and less winter tourism. Harveys performed well in the first quarter, while in Florida the non-converted Kash n Karry stores continued to suffer. During the first quarter of 2006, we had a net decrease of one store, and we remodeled
12 stores.

We continue to see significant competitive activity thru pricing and promotion initiatives as retailers battle for consumer dollars. During the
first quarter of 2006, our Food Lion and Hannaford banners experienced 22 competitive store openings offset by four competitive closings. In addition, many competitors continued to invest heavily in promotional spending in the form of aggressive
advertised pricing, buy one and get one or two free offers, double and triple couponing and other aggressive pricing strategies. The activities and initiatives described in the previous paragraph, particularly at Food Lion, have resulted in improved
sales momentum despite this competitive activity.

As of April 1, 2005, we operated 1,536 stores. Our retail store square footage totaled
57.0 million square feet at April 1, 2006, resulting in a 0.8% increase over the comparable period of 2005. Detail of store activity for the 13 weeks ended April 1, 2006 is shown below:

---

Gross margin as a percentage of sales increased in the first quarter of 2006 compared with the corresponding period in
2005 due primarily to (i) improvement in margin and inventory management; (ii) expanded offerings in higher-margin departments such as Produce and Deli/Bakery (particularly with respect to the market renewals at Food Lion and Kash n
Karry conversions to Sweetbay); and (iii) improved shrink management at Food Lion.

Selling and Administrative Expenses



|                                                                           |  |                              |   |  |                              |

Selling and administrative expenses as a percent of sales increased over the 13 weeks of 2005 primarily due to
(i) an increase in health care costs resulting from an increase in both the number of claims filed and the costs per claim; (ii) an increase in store utility costs due to rising fuel costs; (iii) an increase in the contribution rate
for retirement plans; and (iv) the conversion of stores from Kash n Karry to Sweetbay in Florida. These increases to selling and administrative expenses were partially offset by lower advertising costs.

Depreciation and amortization increased for the 13 weeks ended April 1, 2006 in comparison with the
corresponding period in 2005 primarily due to equipment purchases made for new stores, remodeled stores and converted stores since the first quarter of 2005.

Income Taxes

|(Dollars in millions) |  | 13 weeks ended April 1, 2006 |       |   | 13 weeks ended April 2, 2005 |  
|Income taxes          |  | $                            | 58.8  |   |                              | $ | 52.9 |

The effective tax rate decreased for the 13 weeks ended April 1, 2006 compared to the corresponding period
last year due primarily to the favorable resolution of tax audits in several states where our company operates.

The determination of our provision for
income taxes requires significant judgment, the use of estimates, and the interpretation and application of complex tax laws. Significant judgment is required in assessing the timing and amounts of deductible and taxable items.

We continue to experience both federal and state audits of our income tax filings, which we consider to be part of our ongoing business
activity. In particular, we have experienced an increase in audit and assessment activity over the past several years, which we expect to continue. While the ultimate outcome of these federal and state audits is not certain, we have
considered the merits of our filing positions in our overall evaluation of potential tax liabilities and believe we have adequate liabilities recorded in our consolidated financial statements for exposures on these matters. Based on our
evaluation of the potential tax liabilities and the merits of our filing positions, we also believe it is unlikely that potential tax exposures over and above the amounts currently recorded as liabilities in our consolidated financial statements
will be material to our financial condition or future results of operation.

We have funded our operations and acquisitions from cash generated from our operations and borrowings.

At April 1, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents of $813.3 million compared with $576.4 million at April 2,
2005 in anticipation of our debt repayment on April 17, 2006 (see Note 11 of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). We have historically generated positive cash flow from operations. Cash provided by operating activities increased over
the comparable period in 2005 primarily due to decreases in inventory as a result of better managed inventory levels and the timing of our annual premium payment for self-insurance (annual premiums of $55.8 million and $57.1 million were paid in the
first quarter of 2005 and the second quarter of 2006, respectively) offset by an increase in income tax payments ($22.8 million in 2006 and $7.0 million in 2005).

The increase in investing activities was primarily due to an increase in capital expenditures of $123.5 million
for the 13 weeks ended April 1, 2006 compared to $101.6 million for the comparable period of 2005. The increase in capital expenditures is primarily due to the opening of eight new stores and renovations of 12 existing stores.

Cash used in financing activities decreased for the 13 weeks ended April 1, 2006 compared to the 13 weeks
ended April 2, 2005 resulting primarily from a dividend payment made during the first quarter of 2005 of $25.0 million.

Debt

We have a $500 million unsecured revolving credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) with a syndicate of commercial banks. The Credit Agreement provides for a
$500 million five-year unsecured revolving credit facility, with a $100 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit, and a $35 million sublimit for swingline loans. Upon the Companys election, the aggregate maximum principal amount
available under the Credit Agreement may be increased to an aggregate amount not exceeding $650 million. The Credit Agreement will mature on April 22, 2010, unless we exercise our option to extend it for up to two additional years.

The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants. Negative covenants include a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a maximum leverage ratio and a
dividend restriction test. We must comply with all covenants in order to have access to funds under the Credit Agreement. As of April 1, 2006, we were in compliance with all covenants contained in the Credit Agreement. A deteriorating economic
or operating environment may subject us to a risk of non-compliance with the covenants.

We had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement as of
April 1, 2006. Funds are available under the Credit Agreement for general corporate purposes.

At April 1, 2006, we had longterm debt as
follows:

In October 2003, the Hannaford banner invoked the defeasance provisions of its outstanding 8.54% Senior Notes due November 15,

2004, 6.50% Senior Notes due May 15, 2008, 6.31% Senior Notes due May 15, 2008, 7.41% Senior Notes due February 15, 2009, 6.58% Senior Notes
due February 15, 2011, and 7.06% Senior Notes due May 15, 2016 (collectively, the Notes) and placed sufficient funds in an escrow account to satisfy the remaining principal and interest payments due on the Notes. As a
result of this defeasance, Hannaford is no longer subject to the negative covenants contained in the agreements governing these Notes. As of April 1, 2006 and December 31, 2005, $47.8 million and $53.4 million in the aggregate
principal amount of these Notes was outstanding. Cash committed to fund the escrow and not available for general corporate purposes is considered restricted. As of April 1, 2006 restricted funds of $12.8 million and $39.8 million are recorded
in Current Other Assets and Non-current Other Assets, respectively. As of December 31, 2005 restricted funds of $12.9 million and $45.9 million are recorded in Current Other Assets and Non-current Other Assets, respectively.

We enter into significant leasing obligations related to our store properties. Capital lease obligations outstanding at April 1, 2006 were $783.4 million compared
with $773.3 million at April 2, 2005. Lease agreements provide for initial terms of 20 and 25 years, with renewal options ranging from five to 20 years. We also had significant operating lease commitments at the end of 2005.

We also have periodic short-term borrowings under other arrangements that are available to us at the lenders discretion. We had no borrowings outstanding under
these arrangements as of April 1, 2006 or April 2, 2005.

Market Risk

We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of our long-term debt requirements. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the effect of interest rate changes on earnings and cash
flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. We maintain certain variable-rate debt to take advantage of favorable interest-rate fluctuations. We have not entered into any of our financial instruments for trading purposes.

We maintain interest rate swaps against certain debt obligations, effectively converting a portion of the debt from fixed to variable rates. The notional principal
amounts of interest rate swap arrangements as of April 1, 2006 were $300 million maturing in 2006 and $100 million maturing in 2011. Maturity dates of interest rate swap arrangements match those of the underlying debt. These agreements involve
the exchange of fixed rate payments for variable rate payments without the exchange of the underlying principal amounts. Variable rates for our agreements are based on six-month or three-month U.S. dollar LIBOR and are reset on a semiannual basis or
a quarterly basis. The differential between fixed and variable rates to be paid or received is accrued as interest rates change in accordance with the agreements and recognized over the life of the agreements as an adjustment to interest expense.
The $100 million notional swaps maturing in 2011 meet the criteria for using the short-cut method, which assumes 100% hedge effectiveness, as prescribed by SFAS No. 133, Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.

A table representing the expected principal payments and related interest rates of our long-term debt by year of maturity as of December 31, 2005 was included under
the heading Market Risk on page 26 of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

We do not trade in foreign
markets or in commodities, nor do we have significant concentrations of credit risk. Accordingly, we do not believe that foreign exchange risk, commodity risk or credit risk pose a significant threat to our company.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

We assume various financial
obligations and commitments in the normal course of our operating and financing activities. Financial obligations are considered to represent known future cash payments that we are required to make under existing contractual arrangements, such as
debt and lease agreements. A table representing the scheduled maturities of our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2005 was included under the heading Contractual Obligations and Commitments on page 27 of our annual report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. At April 1, 2006, there were no significant changes to the table referenced above.

Self-Insurance

We are self-insured for workers compensation, general liability, vehicle accident and druggist claims. The
self-insurance liability is determined actuarially, based on claims filed and an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported. Maximum retention, including defense costs per occurrence, is (i) from $0.5 million to $1.0 million per accident
for workers compensation, (ii) $5.0 million per accident for automobile liability and (iii) $3.0 million per accident for general liability, with additional $2.0 million retention in excess of the primary $3.0 million general
liability retention for druggist liability. We are insured for costs related to covered claims, including defense costs, in excess of these retentions. It is possible that the final resolution of some of these claims may require us to make
significant expenditures in excess of our existing reserves over an extended period of time and in a range of amounts that cannot be reasonably estimated.

We implemented a captive insurance program in 2001 pursuant to which the self-insured reserves related to workers
compensation, general liability and automobile coverage were reinsured by Pride, an Irish reinsurance captive owned by an affiliated company of Delhaize Group. The purpose for implementing the captive insurance program is to provide Delhaize Group
continuing flexibility in its risk management program while providing certain excess loss protection through anticipated reinsurance contracts with Pride. Premiums are transferred annually to Pride through our subsidiary, Delhaize Insurance Co.
(DIC). Prior to January 1, 2006, 100% of the risk was reinsured by Pride; however, beginning on January 1, 2006, Pride reinsures 90% of the risk and the remaining 10% is retained by DIC.

Our property insurance includes self-insured retentions per occurrence of (i) $5.0 million for named storms, (ii) $5.0 million for Zone A flood losses,
(iii) $5.0 million for earthquakes and (iv) $2.5 million for all other losses.

We also are self-insured for health care which includes medical,
pharmacy, dental and short-term disability. Our self-insurance liability for claims incurred but not yet reported (IBNR) is estimated quarterly by management based on available information and takes into consideration actuarial
evaluations determined annually based on historical claims experience, claims processing procedures and medical cost trends.
