CAUTIONARY NOTE CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS



This quarterly report on Form 10-Q includes or incorporates by reference forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Securities Act),
Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 about Delhaize America that are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements included in
this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, other than statements of historical fact, which address activities, events or developments that Delhaize America expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including, without limitation, statements
regarding expansion and growth of its business, anticipated store openings and renovations, future capital expenditures, projected revenue growth or synergies, and business strategy are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements
generally can be identified as statements that include phrases such as believe, expect, anticipate, intend, plan, foresee, likely, will,
should or other similar words or phrases.



Although we believe that
these statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our goals will be achieved. Given these uncertainties, prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements are made as of the date this quarterly report on Form 10-Q is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We assume no obligation to update or revise them. Important factors that could cause our actual results to
differ materially from our expectations include, without limitation:



| |  |  | The grocery retailing industry continues to experience significant competition from national, regional and local supermarket chains, supercenters, discount food stores, specialty
stores, convenience stores, warehouse clubs, drug stores and restaurants. Our continued success is dependent upon our ability to compete in this industry, develop and implement retailing strategies and continue to reduce operating expenses. The
competitive environment may cause us to reduce our prices in order to gain or maintain share of sales, thus reducing margins. While we believe our opportunities for sustained, profitable growth are considerable, unanticipated actions of competitors
could impact our sales and net income.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our future results could be adversely affected due to pricing and promotional activities of existing and new competitors, including non-traditional food retailers; the state of the
economy, including inflationary or deflationary trends in certain commodities; recessionary times in the economy; and our ability to sustain the cost reductions that we have identified and implemented.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our ability to achieve our cost savings goals could be affected by, in addition to other factors described herein, our ability to achieve productivity improvements, shrink
reduction, efficiencies in our distribution centers, and other efficiencies created by our logistics projects.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Changes in the general business and economic conditions in our operating regions, including the rate of inflation, population growth, and employment and job growth in the markets in
which we operate may affect our ability to hire and train qualified employees to operate our stores. This could negatively affect earnings and sales growth. General economic changes may also affect the shopping habits of our customers, which could
affect sales and earnings.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Consolidation in the food industry is likely to continue and the effects on our business, favorable or unfavorable, cannot be foreseen.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our ability to integrate any companies we acquire or have acquired and achieve operating improvements at those companies may affect our financial results.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Increases in the cost of inputs, such as utility costs, fuel costs or raw material costs and increased product costs, and increased labor and labor related (e.g., health and welfare
and pension) costs could negatively impact our results.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Adverse weather conditions could increase the cost our suppliers charge for their products, decrease or increase the customer demand for certain products, interrupt operations at
affected stores, or interrupt operations of our suppliers.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We are subject to labor relations issues, including union organizing activities that could result in an increase in costs or lead to a strike, thus impairing operations and
decreasing sales. We are also subject to labor relations issues at entities involved in our supply chain, including both suppliers and those involved in transportation and shipping.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Changes in laws and regulations, including changes in accounting standards, taxation requirements, and environmental laws may have a material impact on our financial statements.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our future results could be adversely affected by issues affecting the food distribution and retail industry generally, such as food safety concerns, an increase in consumers eating
away from home and the manner in which vendors target their promotional dollars.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | Our comparable store sales growth could be affected by competitors openings.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We have estimated our exposure to the claims and litigation arising in the normal course of business and believe we have made adequate provisions for them. Unexpected outcomes in
these matters could result in an adverse effect on our financial statements.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We continue to experience both federal and state audits of income tax filings, which we consider to be part of our ongoing business activity. While the ultimate outcome of these
federal and state audits is not certain, we have considered the merits of our defenses in our overall evaluation of potential tax liabilities and believe we have adequate liabilities recorded in our consolidated financial statements for potential
exposures on these matters. Unexpected outcomes in these matters could result in an adverse effect on our financial statements.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Interest expense on variable rate borrowings will vary with changes in capital markets and the amount of debt that we have outstanding. However, the majority of our long-term notes
payable bear an effective fixed interest rate. On this debt, we bear the risk that the required payments will exceed those based on current market rates.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our capital expenditures could differ from our estimate if we are unsuccessful in acquiring suitable sites for new stores, if development costs vary from those budgeted, or if
significant projects are not completed in the time frame expected or on budget.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Depreciation and amortization expenses may vary from our estimates due to the timing of new store openings and remodels.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | LIFO charges and credits will be affected by changes in the cost of inventory.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We are self-insured for workers compensation, general liability and auto claims. Maximum retention, including defense costs per occurrence, ranges from (i) $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 an additional $5.0 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. Pursuant to our self-insurance program, self-insured reserves related to workers
compensation, general liability and auto coverage are reinsured by Pride Reinsurance Company (Pride), an Irish reinsurance captive, owned by an affiliated company of Delhaize Group. Premiums are transferred annually to Pride through
Delhaize Insurance Co., a subsidiary of Delhaize America.

| |  |  | Our access to capital markets on favorable terms and our leasing costs could be negatively affected by our financial performance and by conditions of the financial markets.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Other factors and assumptions not identified above could also
cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking information. Accordingly, actual events and results may vary significantly from those included in or contemplated or implied by forward-looking statements made by
us or our representatives.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements



1) Basis of Presentation



The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the requirements for Form 10-Q and, consequently, do not include all the disclosures normally required by generally accepted accounting principles or those
normally made in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Delhaize America, Inc. (Delhaize America or the Company). Accordingly, the reader of this Form 10-Q should refer to the Companys Form 10-K for the year ended January 1,
2005 for further information.



Effective first quarter of 2005, the
Companys parent company, Delhaize Group, began reporting its financial results under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as endorsed by the European Union. This replaced Delhaize Groups previous reporting under
Belgian GAAP. During second quarter of 2005, the Company made reclassifications between certain financial statement line items previously reported in order to eliminate differences between US GAAP and IFRS reporting formats. The Company believes
these reclassifications create comparability, consistency and efficiency in the Companys internal and external reporting and analysis. Major financial statement line items reclassified include:

3) Inventories



Generally all inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Inventories valued
using the Last-in, First-out (LIFO) method comprised approximately 74% and 76% of inventories on July 2, 2005 and January 1, 2005, respectively. Meat, produce, deli-bakery

and seafood inventories are valued on the average cost method rather than the LIFO method. If the Company did not report
under the LIFO method, inventories would have been $45.3 million and $40.2 million greater as of July 2, 2005 and January 1, 2005, respectively. Application of the LIFO method resulted in increases in cost of goods sold of $5.1 million and $3.7
million for the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2005 and July 3, 2004, 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 to provide for the estimated shrinkage as of the balance sheet date.



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 substantially all of 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 and 26 weeks ended July 2,
2005 and July 3, 2004, are shown below:

5) Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation



The Company participates in a stock option plan of its
parent company, the Delhaize Group 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the Delhaize Group Plan), under which stock 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. Options become exercisable as determined by the Board of Directors of Delhaize Group on the date of grant, provided that no option may be exercised more than ten years after the date of
grant. Under the Delhaize Group Plan, the exercise of options by the 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 $19.7 million for the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2005.



Additionally, there are still outstanding options to purchase Delhaize Group ADSs under a 1996 Food Lion Plan, 1988 and 1998 Hannaford Plans and a 2000 Delhaize America Plan (collectively, the Prior Plans); however, the Company
can no longer grant options under these plans. The terms and conditions of these plans are substantially consistent with the current Delhaize Group Plan. During the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2005, the Company acquired 120,078 ADSs for $7.4 million to
support the exercise of options under the Prior Plans, and subsequently received exercise proceeds totaling $3.4 million.



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 repurchased 57,417 ADSs on the open market during the second quarter of fiscal 2005 totaling $3.7 million
to support vesting of 54,494 shares awarded under the 2002 Restricted Stock Unit Plan.



On January 2, 2005, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (Statement 123R), requiring the Company to recognize expense related to the fair value
of its employee share-based awards. The Company will recognize the cost of all share-based awards on a graded method over the vesting period of the awards prospectively beginning with fiscal year 2005 stock compensation grants. In accordance with
the provisions of Statement 123R, total

stock option expense totaled $7.0 million ($6.4 million, net of tax) and $11.7 million ($10.8 million, net of tax) for
the 13 weeks and for the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2005, respectively. The Company recorded compensation expense related to restricted stock of $2.6 million ($1.6 million, net of tax) and $1.0 million ($0.6 million, net of tax) for the 13 weeks ended
July 2, 2005 and July 3, 2004, respectively. The Company recorded compensation expense related to restricted stock of $3.7 million ($2.3 million, net of tax) and $2.1 million ($1.3 million, net of tax) for the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2005 and July 3,
2004, respectively.



Prior to January 2, 2005, the Company accounted for the
Delhaize Group Plan under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board, or APB, Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. No compensation cost was recognized in the income statement for stock
options prior to fiscal year 2005, as all options granted under the Delhaize Group Plan have an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying Delhaize Group ADSs on the date of grant. Historically, for purposes of the disclosures
required by the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, the straight-line method was used to allocate the option valuation amounts evenly over their respective vesting schedules. The Company elected to apply the revised standard using the modified
prospective transition method. Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized in fiscal year 2005 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 2, 2005, based on the
grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 2, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with
the provisions of Statement 123R. The Company is not required to restate financial statements for any prior period.



In accordance with Statement 123R, the cash flows resulting from the tax benefits that relate to tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those
options (excess tax benefits) have been classified as financing cash flows. This excess tax benefit for the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2005 was $7.6 million.



The following table illustrates the effect on net income if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee
compensation:

The fair value of stock options is determined using the
Black-Scholes valuation model, which is consistent with the Companys valuation techniques previously utilized for options in disclosures required under SFAS No. 123. The weighted average fair value at date of grant for options granted under
the Delhaize Group Plan during the second quarter of 2005 and 2004 was $18.28 and $15.15 per option, respectively. The weighted average fair value at date of grant for options granted under the Delhaize Group Plan for the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2005
and July 3, 2004 was $18.28 and $15.15 per option, respectively. The fair value of options at date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes model based on the following assumptions:



|                                      |  |              |  |             
|------------------------------------- |  | ------------ |  | ------------
|                                      |  | July 2, 2005 |  | July 3, 2004
|Expected dividend yield(%)            |  | 2.3          |  | 2.6         
|Expected volatility (%)               |  | 39.7         |  | 41.0        
|Risk-free interest rate(%)            |  | 3.7          |  | 3.9         
|Expected term (years) from grant date |  | 4.1          |  | 5.0         



The expected dividend yield is
calculated by dividing the Delhaize Group annual dividend by the share price at the date of grant for options; expected volatility represents a five year historical volatility; the risk-free rate is based on the U.S. treasury yield curve in effect
at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected life of the option; and now that the Company is expensing stock options on a graded method, the expected term is based on observed exercise history since 2002 and the expected exercise
activity through maturity of the option grant.

As of July 2, 2005, there was $18.1
million of unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted share and restricted unit compensation arrangements. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.3 years.



6) Derivative Financial Instruments



The Company maintains 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 July 2, 2005 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 the Companys 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. During the fourth quarter of 2004, in association with the retirement of $36.536 million of its $600 million 7.375% notes, the Company de-designated the $300 million notional
interest rate swaps as a fair value hedge of 50% of the $600 million 2006 notes, and re-designated them as fair value hedge of approximately 53% of the remaining $563.5 million 2006 notes. These swaps meet the criteria of being highly effective
swaps, as prescribed by SFAS No. 133, and currently carry no significant ineffectiveness. The Company recorded a derivative asset in connection with all these agreements in the amount of $3.5 million and $8.3 million at July 2, 2005 and January 1,
2005, respectively, which is included in its Consolidated Balance Sheet in Non-current Other Assets.

##### Table of Contents

In fiscal 2001, the Company settled certain interest rate hedge agreements in connection with the completion of an
offering of notes, resulting in an unrealized loss of approximately $214 million. As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 133 at the beginning of fiscal 2001, the unrealized loss was recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss),
net of tax, and is being amortized to Interest expense over the term of the associated notes. The unrealized loss was reduced as of the date of the Delhaize Group share exchange as a result of the application of purchase
accounting. The remaining unrealized loss, net of taxes, at July 2, 2005 and January 1, 2005 was $36.3 million and $38.9 million, respectively.

The July 2, 2005 balance of
approximately $129.6 million consisted of lease liabilities and other exit cost liabilities of $109.1 million and $20.5 million, respectively and includes lease liabilities of $40.0 million and other exit costs of $2.9 million associated with
discontinued operations.



The Company provided for closed store liabilities in
the quarter to reflect the estimated post-closing lease liabilities and other exit costs associated with the related store closing commitments. These other exit costs include estimated utilities, real estate taxes, common area maintenance and
insurance costs to be incurred after the store closes over the remaining lease term (all of which are contractually required payments under the lease agreements). Store closings are generally completed within one year after the decision to close.
The closed store liabilities are paid over the lease terms associated with the closed stores. As of July 2, 2005, closed store liabilities have remaining lease terms generally ranging from one to 17 years. Adjustments to closed store liabilities and
other exit costs primarily relate to changes in subtenants and actual exit costs differing from original estimates. Adjustments are made for changes in estimates in the period in which the change becomes known. Any excess store closing liability
remaining upon settlement of the obligation is reversed in the period that such settlement is determined. The Company uses a discount rate based on the current treasury note rates adjusted for the Companys current credit spread to calculate
the present value of the remaining liabilities on closed stores.



Except for
stores classified as discontinued operations, the revenues and operating results for stores closed and not relocated are not material to the Companys revenues and operating results for the quarter. Future cash obligations for closed store
liabilities are tied principally to the remaining non-cancelable lease payments less sublease payments to be received.



11) Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards



In June 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 05-06, Determining the Amortization
Period for Leasehold Improvements. EITF Issue No. 05-06 indicates that for operating leases, leasehold improvements that are placed in service significantly after and not contemplated at or near the beginning of the lease term should be
amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the assets or a term that includes required lease periods and renewals that are deemed to be reasonably assured at the date the leasehold improvement are purchased. Leasehold improvements acquired in
a business combination should be amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the assets or a term that includes required lease periods and renewals that are deemed to be reasonably assured at the date of acquisition. EITF Issue No. 05-06 is
effective for leasehold improvements that are purchased or acquired in reporting periods beginning after June 28, 2005. Earlier application is permitted in periods for which financial statements have not been issued. The adoption of this Issue is
not expected to have an impact on the Companys financial statements.



In
May 2005, FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes and FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting
Changes in Interim Financial Statements. FAS No. 154 is a result of a broader effort by the FASB to improve the comparability of cross-border financial reporting by working with the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) toward
development of a single set of high-quality accounting standards. As part of that effort, the FASB and the IASB identified opportunities to improve financial reporting by eliminating certain narrow differences between their existing accounting
standards. Reporting of accounting changes was identified as an area in which financial reporting in the United States could be improved by eliminating differences between Opinion 20 and IAS 8,Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting
Estimates and Errors. FAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Early adoption is permitted for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal
years beginning after the date this Statement is issued. The standard does not have an impact on the Companys financial statements.



In March 2005, FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, An Interpretation of Financial Accounting
Standard (FAS) No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. FIN No. 47 clarifies the requirements to record liabilities stemming from a legal obligation to clean up and retire fixed assets, when retirement depends on a
future event. FASB believes this interpretation will result in more consistent recognition of liabilities relating to asset retirement obligations, more information about expected future cash outflows associated with the obligations and investments
in long-lived

assets because additional asset retirement costs will be recognized as part of the carrying amounts of the assets. FIN
No. 47 will be effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. Retrospective application for interim financial information is permitted but not required. Early adoption is encouraged. The adoption of this standard
does not have an impact on the Companys financial statements.

Guarantor Subsidiaries



Delhaize America, Inc. has issued 7.375% notes due
2006, 7.55% notes due 2007, 8.125% notes due 2011, 8.05% notes due 2027 and 9.00% debentures due 2031. Substantially all of Delhaize Americas subsidiaries (the Guarantor Subsidiaries) have fully and unconditionally, jointly and
severally guaranteed this debt. The Guarantor Subsidiaries and non-guarantor subsidiaries are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. The non-guaranteeing subsidiaries represent less than 3% on an individual and aggregate basis of consolidated
assets, pretax earnings, cash flow, and equity. Therefore, the non-guarantor subsidiaries information is not separately presented in the tables below, but rather is included in the column labeled Guarantor Subsidiaries. Condensed

13) 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 during both fiscal 2003 and 2004, which it expects to continue. While the ultimate outcome of these federal and state audits is not certain, the Company has considered 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 the Companys 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.



14) New Credit Agreement



On April 22, 2005, the Company entered into a $500 million five-year
unsecured revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of commercial banks (the New Credit Agreement), which replaced its then existing secured $350 million, five-year revolving amended and restated credit agreement (the Prior
Credit Agreement). The Company and the other parties terminated the Prior Credit Agreement (except those provisions, which by their terms survive termination) in connection with, and as a condition to, entering into the New Credit Agreement.
The Prior Credit Agreement was scheduled to expire on July 31, 2005. The Company incurred no early termination penalties in connection with the termination.



The New 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. At the election of the Company, the aggregate maximum principal amount available under the New Credit Agreement may be increased to an aggregate amount not exceeding $650 million. The New Credit
Agreement will mature April 22, 2010, unless optionally extended thereunder for up to two additional years.



The New Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants. Negative covenants include a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio. We must be in compliance with all covenants in order
to have access to funds under the New Credit Agreement. As of July 2, 2005, we were in compliance with all covenants contained in the New Credit Agreement. A deteriorating economic or operating environment can subject us to a risk of non-compliance
with the covenants. We had no outstanding borrowings under the New Credit Agreement as of July 2, 2005, and had no borrowings during 2005 under this facility. Funds are available under the New Credit Agreement for general corporate purposes,
including as credit support for the Companys commercial paper programs.



Item 2.Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation (13 weeks and 26 weeks ended July 2, 2005 compared to the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended July 3, 2004)



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 January 1, 2005.



Executive Summary



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

##### Table of Contents

During the second quarter of fiscal 2005, Delhaize America posted increased sales and improving gross margins, as
compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2004.



Second Quarter Highlights:



| |  |  | Gross Margin Improvement. Opportunities for margin optimization have been enhanced with the implementation of the new inventory system and margin management processes in
fiscal 2004 at our Food Lion and Kash n Karry banners. We continue to recognize improvements in margin, shrink control and inventory management through full visibility to item-level detail data provided by this system. Food Lion continues to
experience a decrease in inventory shrinkage and is making related decisions to increase sales and margins.

| |  |  | Selling and Administrative Expenses. During the second quarter of 2005, we incurred (i) additional expenses related to the integration of Victory, the launch of Sweetbay and
Food Lions market renewals in advance of the expected sales benefits, (ii) increased supply costs over last year as paper/resin costs increase due to rising fuel costs and (iii) increased stock compensation expenses of $7.0 million and $11.7
million over the second quarter of 2004 and the 26 weeks of 2004, respectively as a result of the Companys adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R (Statement 123R). There were no stock compensation costs
related to Statement 123R recorded in 2004.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Market Renewal. On June 22, 2005, Food Lion re-launched its third market renewal program in Greensboro, North Carolina including the remodeling of 58 stores. Greensboro is a
key market for Food Lion and we are pleased with the early sales results.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Kash n Karry. The conversions of Kash n Karry to Sweetbay Supermarket continued during the second quarter of 2005, with sales results exceeding managements
expectations. We had 17 Sweetbay stores in operation at July 2, 2005.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Integration of Victory.During the second quarter of 2005, Hannaford continued working on the integration of the 19 Victory Super Markets acquired in fourth quarter of 2004.
Victory continued to introduce Hannafords private label products and the prices of many products were lowered to align Victory to Hannafords Everyday Low Price pricing strategy. Eight Victory stores were converted to the Hannaford banner
during second quarter, bringing the total converted Victory stores to ten. We plan to convert the remaining nine Victory stores by the end of the third quarter.

| |  |  | New Private Label Products. During the second quarter of 2005, Food Lion added an exclusive private label line of fresh beef, Butchers Brand. Customer
response to this product line has been very positive, supporting improved meat sales during the quarter. During June of 2005, Hannaford launched Inspirations, a new line of premium quality label items in addition to its mainstream
private label line. This new line presents more than 400 Hannaford Inspirations products made with the freshest and finest all-natural ingredients. We expect this two-tier private label assortment to deliver strong quality and price point
differentiation.

| |  |  | Growth of Harveys. Following the success of the 13 Food Lion stores converted to Harveys during 2004, three additional Food Lion stores were converted to Harveys during the
second quarter of fiscal 2005 bringing the total to nine for the first six months of fiscal 2005. Harveys is strengthening our position in the Georgia market where we did not have a strong presence, giving us opportunities to focus on local
consumers needs in this market to grow the Harveys business.

2005 Remaining Outlook:



| |  |  | Food Lion plans to complete its fourth market renewal program in Baltimore, Maryland in the fall of 2005.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Kash n Karry will continue to convert to Sweetbay Supermarket over approximately the next three years. We plan to convert or open approximately nine more stores under the
Sweetbay banner by the end of 2005. With the early success of the Sweetbay conversions, we have decided to accelerate the conversion plan for the Tampa/St. Petersburg market for completion 2006.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Harveys plans to convert an additional three Food Lion stores to its banner. These conversions are expected to enhance our Companys presence in Harveys primary market
area by tapping into the strength of the local Harveys brand.

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. The significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 to our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2005.

##### Table of Contents

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. We believe the following accounting policies are the most critical because they
involve the most significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements.



Asset impairment- We periodically evaluate the period of depreciation or amortization for long-lived assets to determine whether current circumstances warrant
revised estimates of useful lives. We monitor the carrying value of our retail stores, our lowest level asset group for which identifiable cash flows are independent of other groups of assets and liabilities, for potential impairment based on
projected future cash flows. If impairment is identified for retail stores, we compare the asset groups estimated fair value to its current carrying value and record provisions for impairment as appropriate. With respect to owned property and
equipment associated with closed stores, the value of the property and equipment is adjusted to reflect recoverable values based on our previous experience in disposing of similar assets and current economic conditions.



Impairment losses are significantly impacted by estimates of future operating cash flows and
estimates of fair value. We estimate future cash flows based on the experience and knowledge of the markets in which our stores are located. These estimates are adjusted for variable factors such as inflation and general economic conditions. We
estimate fair value based on our experience and knowledge of the real estate markets where the store is located and also include an independent third-party appraiser in certain situations.



Goodwill and other intangible assets- We conduct an annual assessment of potential
impairment of goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets by comparing the book value of these assets to their current fair value. Fair value is estimated based on discounted cash flow projections provided by reporting unit management.
When the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a provision for impairment is recorded. We conduct an annual impairment assessment in the fourth quarter of each year or when events or circumstances indicate that an impairment
may have occurred in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.



The evaluation of goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful lives for impairment requires management to use significant judgments and estimates including, but not limited to, projected future revenue, cash flows
and discount rates. We believe that, based on current conditions, material goodwill and intangible impairments are not likely to occur. However, a change in assumptions or market conditions could result in a change in estimated future cash flows and
the likelihood of material impairment.



Inventories- Generally all
inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market determined by the Last-in, First-out (LIFO) method. Meat, produce, deli-bakery and seafood inventories are valued on the average cost method rather than the LIFO method. We evaluate
inventory shrinkage throughout the year based on actual physical counts in our stores and distribution centers and record adjustments based on the results of these counts to provide for the estimated shrinkage as of the balance sheet date.



Leases-Our stores operate principally in leased premises. We account
for leases under the provisions of SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, and related accounting guidance. For lease agreements that provide for escalating rent payments, we recognize rent expense on a straight-line basis over the
non-cancelable lease term and option renewal periods where failure to exercise such options would result in an economic penalty such that renewal appears, at the inception of the lease, to be reasonably assured. Rent incurred during the construction
and development of a store is capitalized as a component of property and equipment. The lease term commences when we become obligated under the terms of the lease agreement and extends over the non-cancelable term and option renewal periods where
failure to exercise such option would result in an economic penalty such that renewal appears to be reasonably assured.



When evaluating leases, we use significant judgments and estimates, which include the determination of the lease term, incremental borrowing rates and fair market values.
The determination of the lease term involves judgments as to whether an economic penalty exists which reasonably assures renewal of option periods. The incremental borrowing rate is used to calculate the present value of future rent payments and is
based on the current yield for publicly traded debt for our Company. The fair market value of the leased premises is based on our experience and knowledge of the real estate markets where the store is located and includes an independent third-party
appraiser in certain situations.



Self-insurance- We are self-insured
for workers compensation, general liability and auto 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, ranges from (i) $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 an additional $5.0 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. The significant assumptions used in the
development of the actuarial estimates are grounded upon our historical claims data, including the average monthly claims and the average lag time between incurrence and payment.

We implemented a captive insurance program in fiscal 2001 pursuant to which the self-insured reserves related to
workers compensation, general liability and auto coverage were reinsured by Pride Reinsurance Company (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 Delhaize Insurance Co., a subsidiary of Delhaize America.



The
actuarial estimates are subject to a high degree of uncertainty from various sources, including changes in claim reporting patterns, claim settlement patterns, judicial decisions, legislation, and economic conditions. Although we believe the
actuarial estimates are reasonable, significant differences related to the items noted above could materially affect our self-insurance obligations and the level of future premiums to Pride.



Our property insurance includes self-insured retentions per occurrence to (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.



Stock compensation- We adopted Statement 123R during the first quarter of 2005, using the modified prospective approach. Historically, we applied the recognition
and measurement provisions of APB Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and the straight-line method was used to allocate the option valuation amounts evenly over their respective vesting schedules.



Historically, for purposes of the disclosures required by the original provisions of SFAS No.
123, the straight-line method was used to allocate the option valuation amounts evenly over their respective vesting schedules. We elected to apply the revised standard using the modified prospective transition method. Under this transition method,
compensation cost recognized in fiscal year 2005 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 2, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original
provisions of SFAS No. 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 2, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of Statement 123R. We are not required to
restate financial statements for any prior period.



The fair value of
restricted stock unit awards is determined based on the number of shares granted and the market price at the grant dates. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which is consistent with our valuation
techniques previously utilized for options in disclosures required under SFAS No. 123. Such value is recognized as expense over the service period, net of estimated forfeitures, using the accelerated method under Statement 123R prospectively,
beginning with 2005 stock compensation grants.



Estimating the fair value of
options requires us to use significant estimates and judgments, which include expected dividend yield, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected term. The expected dividend yield is calculated by dividing the Delhaize Group annual
dividend by the share price at the date of grant for options. The expected volatility represents a five year historical volatility and the risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods
corresponding with the expected life of the option. Now that we are expensing stock options on a graded method, the expected term is based on observed exercise history since 2002 and the expected exercise activity through maturity of the option
grant.



Store closing reserves- We provide for closed store liabilities
to reflect the estimated post-closing lease liabilities and other exit costs associated with the related store closing commitments. Other exit costs include estimated utilities, real estate taxes, common area maintenance, and insurance costs to be
incurred after the store closes over the remaining lease term (all of which are contractually required payments under the lease agreements). Store closings are generally completed within one year after the decision to close. The closed store
liabilities are paid over the lease terms associated with the closed stores. Adjustments to closed store liabilities and other exit costs primarily relate to changes in subtenants and actual exit costs differing from original estimates. Adjustments
are made for changes in estimates in the period in which the change becomes known. Any excess store closing liability remaining upon settlement of the obligation is reversed in the period that such settlement is determined. We estimate the lease
liabilities, net of sublease income; using a discount rate based on the current treasury note rates adjusted for our current credit spread to calculate the present value of the remaining liabilities on closed stores.



Inventory write-downs, if any, in connection with store closings, are classified in cost of
sales. Costs to transfer inventory and equipment from closed stores are expensed as incurred. When severance costs are incurred in connection with store closings, a liability for the termination benefits is recognized and measured at its fair value
at the communication date. Store closing liabilities are reviewed quarterly to ensure that any accrued amounts appropriately reflect the outstanding commitments and that any additional costs are accrued or amounts that are no longer needed for their
originally intended purpose are reversed.



Calculating the estimated losses
requires significant judgments and estimates that could be impacted by factors such as the extent of interested buyers, the ability to obtain subleases, the creditworthiness of sublessees, and our success at negotiating early termination agreements
with lessors. These factors are significantly dependent on general economic conditions and resultant demand for commercial property.

Supplier allowances- We receive 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 us 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 our Company. Similarly, co-operative advertising requires us 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 our Company to sell the vendors product. We have 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 our Company.



Estimating some rebates received from third party vendors requires us to make assumptions and judgments regarding specific purchase or sales levels and related inventory turns. We constantly review the relevant
significant assumptions and estimates and make adjustments as necessary. Although we believe the assumptions and estimates used are reasonable, significant changes in these arrangements or purchase volumes could have a material effect on future cost
of sales.



Results of Operation



The following tables set forth the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income for
the 13 weeks and the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2005 and for the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended July 3, 2004 for informational purposes.



Effective first quarter of fiscal 2005, the Companys parent company, Delhaize Group, began reporting its financial results under International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) as endorsed by the European Union. This replaced Delhaize Groups previous reporting under Belgian GAAP. During second quarter of fiscal 2005, we made reclassifications between certain financial statement line items
previously reported in order to eliminate differences between US GAAP and IFRS reporting formats. We believe these reclassifications create comparability, consistency and efficiency in our internal and external reporting and analysis. See Note 1 for
further discussion.



The 2004 results have also been adjusted to classify the
results of operation for the six stores closed after the 26 weeks ended July 3, 2004 as discontinued operations. The net sales and other revenues, cost of goods sold, and selling and administrative expenses are reflected on a net basis
in discontinued operations in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.

We record revenues primarily from the
sale of products in our retail stores. Net sales and other revenues for the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 2, 2005 increased 3.3% and 3.9% over the corresponding periods of 2004 driven primarily by the acquisition of 19 Victory stores during the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2004 and new store sales. Comparable store sales decreased 0.4% during the second quarter of 2005 and increased 0.1% for the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2005. Comparable store sales adjusted for the timing of Easter, increased 0.2% in
the second quarter of 2005 (compared to a 1.4% increase in the second quarter of 2004). Sales continued to be strong at Hannaford and Sweetbay, while sales growth at Food Lion, Kash n Karry and Harveys was challenging due to strong competitive
activity and consumer uncertainty due to higher gasoline prices.



We continue
to see significant competitive activity as a greater number of retailers battle for the consumers dollars. During the first six months of 2005, we experienced 32 competitive store openings offset by 29 competitive closings (primarily
Winn-Dixie closings) in our operating area. 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. Food Lion began price and promotion activity and other initiatives during the second quarter to boost sales performance and confirm its low price leadership. These activities, which continue in the third quarter, have
resulted in improved sales momentum.

Gross profit as a percentage of sales
increased in the second quarter of 2005 and the 26 weeks of 2005 compared with the corresponding periods in 2004 primarily due to margins from the 19 Victory stores acquired during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, lower inventory shrink at Food
Lion and continued focus on optimizing margin to drive sustainable profitable sales at all of our operating companies. During the third quarter of fiscal 2004, we successfully completed the transition of all of our Food Lion and Kash n Karry
stores to a new inventory and margin management system, which was first developed at Hannaford and modified to address the specific needs of Food Lion and Kash n Karry. This system has enabled us to improve our current margin analysis, shrink
control and inventory management through full visibility to item-level detail data.



Our inventories are generally stated at the lower of cost or market, and we value approximately 74% of our inventory using the Last-in, First-out or LIFO method.



Our LIFO reserve increased $2.0 million and $5.2 million for the 13 and 26 weeks of 2005 and $2.3 million and $3.7 million for the same
period last year. The charge in the second quarter of 2005 is a result of modest inflation across most product categories.

a percent of sales increased over the 13 weeks and 26 weeks of 2004 primarily due to (i) expenses related to the integration of Victory, the launch of Sweetbay and Food Lions market renewals in advance of the expected sales benefits, (ii)
increasing supply costs over last year as paper/resin costs increase due to rising fuel costs and (iii) increased stock compensation expenses of $7.0 million and $11.7 million over the second quarter and the 26 weeks of 2004, respectively as a
result of our adoption of Statement 123R (See Note 5). There were no stock compensation costs related to Statement 123R recorded in 2004.

The increase in depreciation and
amortization for the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended July 2, 2005 compared to the corresponding periods of 2004 is primarily due to the acquisition of the 19 Victory stores acquired in fiscal 2004. Also the increase in depreciation and amortization is
due to equipment purchases for new stores and renovations and additional store capital leases since the second

Interest expense increased for the 13
weeks and 26 weeks ended July 2, 2005 as compared to the corresponding periods of 2004 primarily due to additional store capital leases and a decrease in the benefit from our interest rate swap agreements. These increases to interest expense were
offset by increased investment income resulting from higher cash balances and the repurchase and redemption of $52.355 million of our debt during the fourth quarter of 2004.

In accordance with the provisions of
SFAS No. 144, a portion of the costs associated with the closure of these stores, as well as related operating activity prior to closing for these stores, was recorded in Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax in our Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Income.

The effective tax rate increased for
the 13 weeks ended July 2, 2005 from the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2004 because the tax provision for the period ended July 3, 2004 included approximately $3.4 million (net of tax) in interest income related to an IRS audit refund. Our Companys
tax rate from continuing operations would have been 39.3% and 39.5% for the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended July 3, 2004, respectively, excluding this interest refund. Furthermore, the tax rate has increased in 2005 due to the non-deductible nature of
qualified stock options (see Note 5, which more fully describes our Companys adoption of Statement 123R) as well as increased accruals for state audits.



The determination of our Companys 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 during both fiscal 2003 and 2004, 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 July
2, 2005, we had cash and cash equivalents of $538.6 million compared with $629.9 million at July 3, 2004. We have historically generated positive cash flow from operations. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities over the comparable
period is primarily due to an increase in inventory and higher tax payments offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses. The increase in inventory for the 26 weeks of 2005 is to support the level of inventory needed to meet our
store replenishment requirements and Food Lions launch of its Butchers Brand beef program. The decrease in inventory for the 26 weeks of 2004 is primarily the result of the closing of the 35 underperforming stores.

##### Table of Contents

The increase in investing activities was primarily due to an increase in capital expenditures, $238.2 million for the 26
weeks ended July 2, 2005 compared with $143.1 million for the comparable period of 2004. The increase in capital expenditures is primarily due to construction costs incurred for the Greensboro, North Carolina market which was completed during the
second quarter, continuing costs incurred for the Baltimore, Maryland market to be completed in the fall of 2005 and costs to convert existing Kash n Karry stores to Sweetbay Supermarket and the opening of three new Sweetbay Supermarket
stores. For the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2005, we opened 18 new stores and renovated 76 existing stores compared with 22 new stores and seven renovations for the corresponding period last year.



In fiscal 2005, we plan to incur approximately $625 million of capital expenditures compared
to the previous projection of $550 million. The encouraging results in our Sweetbay conversions and the benefits of expanding Hannafords operations and renewing Food Lions key markets are drivers of future growth. We plan to finance
capital expenditures during fiscal 2005 through funds generated from operations and existing bank facilities and the use of leases when necessary.

Cash used in financing activities
increased for the 26 weeks of 2005 compared to 26 weeks of 2004 primarily due to dividend payments this year of $125.3 million and increased purchases this year of parent common stock used for employee stock option exercises in the 26 weeks of 2005
compared to the same period of last year.



Debt



On April 22, 2005, we entered into a $500 million five-year unsecured revolving credit
agreement with a syndicate of commercial banks (the New Credit Agreement), which replaced our then existing secured $350 million, five-year revolving amended and restated credit agreement (the Prior Credit Agreement). The
Company and the other parties terminated the Prior Credit Agreement (except those provisions, which by their terms survive termination) in connection with, and as a condition to, entering into the New Credit Agreement. The Prior Credit Agreement was
scheduled to expire on July 31, 2005. The Company incurred no early termination penalties in connection with the termination.



The New 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. At the election of the Company, the aggregate maximum principal amount available under the New Credit Agreement may be increased to an aggregate amount not exceeding $650 million. The New Credit
Agreement will mature April 22, 2010, unless optionally extended thereunder for up to two additional years.



The New Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants. Negative covenants include a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio. We must be in compliance with all covenants in order
to have access to funds under the New Credit Agreement. As of July 2, 2005, we were in compliance with all covenants contained in the New Credit Agreement. A deteriorating economic or operating environment can subject us to a risk of non-compliance
with the covenants. We had no outstanding borrowings under the New Credit Agreement as of July 2, 2005, and had no borrowings during 2005 under this facility. Funds are available under the New Credit Agreement for general corporate purposes,
including as credit support for the Companys commercial paper programs.



At July 2, 2005, we had longterm debt as follows:

that our current cash balances, along with cash flows from operations and available credit lines will be sufficient to cover the coming maturities.

In October 2003, our Hannaford banner invoked the defeasance provisions of its outstanding 7.41% Senior Notes due
February 15, 2009, 8.54% Senior Notes due November 15, 2004, 6.50% Senior Notes due May 15, 2008, 6.58% Senior Notes due February 15, 2011, 7.06% Senior Notes due May 15, 2016 and 6.31% Senior Notes due May 15, 2008 (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 July 2, 2005 and January 1, 2005, $53.4 million and $65.2 million in 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 July 2, 2005 restricted funds of $12.9 million and $46.8 million are recorded in Current Other Assets and Non-current Other Assets. As of January 1, 2005 restricted funds of $13.1 million and $59.8 million
are recorded in Current Other Assets and Non-current Other Assets.



We enter
into significant leasing obligations related to our store properties. Capital lease obligations outstanding at July 2, 2005 were $763.8 million compared with $708.6 million at July 3, 2004. 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 fiscal 2004.



We also have periodic short-term borrowings under informal credit arrangements that are available to us at the lenders discretion. We had no borrowings outstanding
as of July 2, 2005 or July 3, 2004.



Market Risk



Our Company is 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 lower
relative interest rates currently available. 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 2, 2005 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. During the fourth
quarter of 2004, in association with the retirement of $36.536 million of our $600 million 7.375% notes, we de-designated the $300 million notional interest rate swaps as a fair value hedge of 50% of the $600 million 2006 notes, and re-designated
them as fair value hedge of approximately 53% of the remaining $563.5 million 2006 notes. These swaps meet the criteria of being highly effective swaps, as prescribed by SFAS No. 133, and currently carry no significant ineffectiveness. We have
recorded a derivative asset in connection with all these agreements in the amount of $3.5 million and $8.3 million at July 2, 2005 and January 1, 2005, respectively, which is included in our Consolidated Balance Sheet in Non-current Other Assets.



In fiscal 2001, we settled certain interest rate hedge agreements in
connection with the completion of an offering of notes, resulting in an unrealized loss of approximately $214 million. As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 133 at the beginning of fiscal 2001, the unrealized loss was recorded in Accumulated
other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, and is being amortized to Interest expense over the term of the associated notes. The unrealized loss was reduced as of the date of the Delhaize Group share exchange as a result of the
application of purchase accounting. The remaining unrealized loss net of taxes at July 2, 2005 and January 1, 2005 was $36.3 million and $38.9 million, respectively.

|(a) | $300.0 million notional amount was swapped for a variable interest rate based on a six-month or three-month U.S. dollar LIBOR reset on a semiannual or a quarterly basis. The
carrying value of these notes was increased by $4.9 million at January 1, 2005, to reflect the fair value of the interest rate swap.

|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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 operations 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 January 1, 2005 was included under
the heading Contractual Obligations and Commitments on page 23 of our Companys 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 1, 2005. At July 2, 2005, there were no significant changes from the table referenced above.



Self-Insurance



We are self-insured for workers compensation, general liability and auto 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, ranges from (i) $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 an additional $5.0 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 fiscal 2001 pursuant to which the self-insured reserves related to workers compensation, general liability and auto
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 Delhaize Insurance Co., a subsidiary of Delhaize America.



Our property insurance includes self-insured retentions per occurrence to (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 incurred property loss of $11.4 million for hurricanes experienced during fiscal 2004 compared with
property loss of $16.9 million related to Hurricane Isabel in fiscal 2003. Also in fiscal 2004, we received insurance reimbursement of $4.0 million related to Hurricane Isabel.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards



In June 2005, the Financial Standards Board (FASB) issued Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 05-06, Determining
the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements. EITF Issue No. 05-06 indicates that for operating leases, leasehold improvements that are placed in service significantly after and not contemplated at or near the beginning of the lease term
should be amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the assets or a term that includes required lease periods and renewals that are deemed to be reasonably assured at the date the leasehold improvement are purchased. Leasehold improvements
acquired in a business combination should be amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the assets or a term that includes required lease periods and renewals that are deemed to be reasonably assured at the date of acquisition. EITF Issue No.
05-06 is effective for leasehold improvements that are purchased or acquired in reporting periods beginning after June 28, 2005. Earlier application is permitted in periods for which financial statements have not been issued. The adoption of this
Issue is not expected to have an impact on the Companys financial statements.



In May 2005, FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. FAS No. 154 is a result of a broader
effort by the FASB to improve the comparability of cross-border financial reporting by working with the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) toward development of a single set of high-quality accounting standards. As part of that effort,
the FASB and the IASB identified opportunities to improve financial reporting by eliminating certain narrow differences between their existing accounting standards. Reporting of accounting changes was identified as an area in which financial
reporting in the United States could be improved by eliminating differences between Opinion 20 and IAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. FAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and correction of
errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Early adoption is permitted for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after the date this Statement is issued. The standard does not have an impact
on the Companys financial statements.



In March 2005, FASB issued FASB
Interpretation (FIN) No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, An Interpretation of Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. FIN No. 47 clarifies the
requirements to record liabilities stemming from a legal obligation to clean up and retire fixed assets, when retirement depends on a future event. FASB believes this interpretation will result in more consistent recognition of liabilities relating
to asset retirement obligations, more information about expected future cash outflows associated with the obligations and investments in long-lived assets because additional asset retirement costs will be recognized as part of the carrying amounts
of the assets. FIN No. 47 will be effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. Retrospective application for interim financial information is permitted but not required. Early adoption is encouraged. The adoption
of this standard does not have an impact on the Companys financial statements.



Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk



The information set forth under the heading Market Risk under Item 2 of this Form 10-Q is hereby incorporated herein by reference.



Item 4.Controls and Procedures



Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer have concluded that, as
of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
