JITNEY-JUNGLE STORES OF AMERICA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 20, 1998 (Unaudited) AND JUNE 28, 1997 (Unaudited)
(Dollars in thousands)

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements 
include those of Jitney-Jungle Stores of America, Inc. and its 
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Southern Jitney Jungle Company, 
Interstate Jitney-Jungle Stores, Inc., McCarty-Holman Co., Inc. 
and subsidiary, Jitney-Jungle Bakery, Inc., Delchamps Inc. and 
subsidiary and JJ Construction Corp.  All material intercompany 
profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated.

These interim financial statements have been prepared on the 
basis of accounting principles used in the annual financial 
statements for the 35 weeks ended January 3, 1998.  In the 
opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed 
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (all of 
which were of a normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair 
statement of consolidated financial position and results of 
operations of the Company for the interim periods.  The results 
of operations of the Company for the twenty-four weeks ended 
June 20, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of the results which 
may be expected for the entire year.

The Company changed its fiscal year end on January 3, 1998 to 
the closest Saturday to December 31.  Previously, the Company 
reported its fiscal year end results as of the Saturday nearest to 
April 30.  Data included herein for the second quarter of fiscal 
1997 reflects the unaudited results of operations for the twenty-
five weeks ended June 28, 1997.

2. ACQUISITION

In September 1997, the Company acquired the majority of the 
common stock of Delchamps, Inc.  Certain shareholders 
dissented from the merger and are pursuing their appraisal 
remedy under Alabama law.  Management does not expect this 
matter to have a material affect on operations or the price of the 
acquisition.  The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase 
and, accordingly, Delchamps' results of operations were 
included in the Company's consolidated financial statements 
subsequent to the acquisition date.

The purchase price, net of cash acquired of $84, has been 
allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based 
upon the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition, as set 
forth below.  Any variation between such amounts and the final 
allocation will change the amount of goodwill recognized in 
connection with the Delchamps acquisition and the related 
amortization expense.  The allocation could be affected by, 
among other things, a final determination of amounts to be paid 
to former shareholders of Delchamps who dissented from the 
merger (and related professional fees) and of costs to be 
incurred related to Delchamps facilities that have been closed.  
Management believes, however that when the final valuation of 
the net assets acquired is complete, the allocation of the 
purchase price will not differ materially from the amounts 
shown herein.

3.  RESTRUCTURING OBLIGATIONS
In connection with the Delchamps acquisition, the Company 
recorded a restructuring obligation of $42,860 relating to (i) 
stores closed by Delchamps prior to the acquisition; (ii) 
Delchamps stores to be closed after the acquisition because of 
unprofitability; (iii) Company and Delchamps stores required to 
be divested under a consent decree with the Federal Trade 
Commission; (iv) closure of the Delchamps headquarters in 
Mobile, Alabama; and (v) closure of the Delchamps warehouse 
facility in Hammond, Louisiana.  The $42,860 consists of 
future rental payments,  severance costs, loss on divestiture of 
fixed assets, miscellaneous expenses related mainly to the 
shutdown of the Mobile and Hammond facilities.

Of the total restructuring costs, $41,967 was recorded as 
goodwill as part of the purchase price allocation in the 
Delchamps acquisition and $893 was included as a 
nonrecurring charge in the statement of operations, $599 in the 
35 weeks ended 1-3-98 and $294 in the first quarter of fiscal 
1998.  


4. ACQUISITON INTEGRATION COSTS AND OTHER SPECIAL  CHARGES
Acquisition integration costs and other special charges 
recorded during the twenty-four week period ended June 20, 
1998 consisted of severance benefits of $250 and loss of $294 
on stores sold under the consent decree with the Federal Trade 
Commission in the Delchamps acquisition and $16,294 of 
business integration costs related to Delchamps. Acquisition 
integration charges and other special charges consisting of $958 
of severance benefits and $1,779 due to an employment 
agreement relating to the Company's former chief executive 
officer were recorded during the thirteen and twenty-five week 
period ended June 28, 1997.     


5. LONG-TERM DEBT

</TABLE>





The Company has available a Senior Credit Facility of $150 
million under which letters of credit aggregating $12,110 were 
outstanding at June 20, 1998.

6.  EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

Earnings (loss) per common share is based on net 
income (loss) after preferred stock dividend requirements 
and the weighted average number of shares outstanding 
during each interim period.  Cumulative dividends not 
declared or paid on preferred shares amounted to $2,101 and 
$4,202 for the twelve weeks and twenty-four weeks ended June 
20, 1998, respectively.  Cumulative dividends not declared or 
paid on preferred shares amounted to $1,740 and $3,661 for the 
thirteen weeks and twenty-five weeks ended June 28, 1997. The 
number of shares used in computing basic and diluted earnings 
(loss) per share was 423,300 for the twelve weeks and 
twenty-four weeks ended June 20, 1998 and 425,000 for the 
thirteen weeks and twenty-five weeks ended June 28, 1997.  
The 1,700 shares held in treasury were purchased pursuant to 
certain option agreements from former executives whose employment 
terminated during the relevant period and have been committed to 
be reissued to other members of existing management.  Potential 
common shares attributed to outstanding warrants were not included 
in the computation of diluted earnings per share as their effect on earnings 
(loss) per share would be antidilutive.



7.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is a party to certain litigation incurred in the  
course of business.  In the opinion of management, the ultimate 
liability, if any, which may result from this litigation will not 
have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial 
position or results of operations.




8. RESTATEMENT 

Subsequent to the issuance of the Company's Quarterly 
Report on Form 10-Q for the 12 weeks ended June 20, 
1998, the Company determined that certain amounts 
recorded in connection with the Delchamps acquisition, 
during the quarter ended June 20, 1998, should have been 
charged to expense as incurred.

During the 12 weeks ended June 20, 1998, the Company 
recorded additional goodwill and restructuring obligations 
related primarily to consolidating warehouse and office facilities, 
remerchandising of Delchamps stores, training of Declchamps'
employees, and other related items. Such amounts 
should have been recognized as cost of goods sold and 
expenses as incurred.

A summary of the significant effects of the restatement are 
as follows:

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION 
	  AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Dollars in thousands)
	
The following is management's discussion and analysis of 
significant factors affecting the Company's financial condition and 
results of operations during the periods included in the 
accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Subsequent to the issuance of the Company's Quarterly 
Report on Form 10-Q for the 12 weeks ended June 20, 
1998, the Company determined that certain amounts 
recorded in connection with the Delchamps acquisition, 
during the quarter ended June 20, 1998, should have been 
charged to expense as incurred. 

During the 12 weeks ended June 20, 1998, the Company 
recorded additional goodwill and certain of these cost 
(princpally related to store closures) have not been restated
while other cost attributable to the Delchamps acquitions, 
including cost incurred in consolidating warehouse operations,
remerchandising of Delchamps stores, and training of Delchamps
employees have been expensed as acquisition integration cost
and accordance with the guidlelines set forth in Emerging
Issues Task Force (EITF) Releases 94-3 ("reconigation of
liabilities in connection with a Purchase Businssess Combination").
The effects of the restatement are presented in Note 8 of Notes to 
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and have been reflected 
herein.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET SALES

Net sales increased $179,067 or 58.7% in the twelve week period 
and $371,653 or 63.3% in the twenty-four week period ended June 
20, 1998 as compared to the thirteen and twenty-five week periods 
ended June 28, 1997.  The net sales increase was primarily 
attributable to the Delchamps acquisition.  Same store sales 
decreased approximately .6% for the twelve week period and 3.5% 
for the twenty-four week period ended June 20, 1998.  Sales 
throughout the twenty-five weeks ended June 28, 1997 were 
positively impacted by the introduction of the Company's Gold 
Card, its customer loyalty program, in approximately 79 Jitney-
Jungle and Jitney Premier supermarkets in January 1997.  Sales for 
the twenty-four weeks ended June 20, 1998 were positively 
impacted by the introduction of the Gold Card in 52 Delchamps 
supermarkets in March 1998 and in the remaining Delchamps 
supermarkets during the second quarter ended June 20, 1998.  The 
decline in same store sales is attributable primarily to competitive 
pressures, a decline in sales at Delchamps supermarkets due to 
disruptions caused by the transition process which has been 
completed and the fact that the Gold Card introduction positively 
impacted sales for most of the twenty-five weeks ended June 28, 
1997 but only the latter part of the twenty-four weeks ended June 
20, 1998.  During the second quarter ended June 20,1998, the 
Company remodeled 3 discount or conventional stores, converted 6 
discount or conventional stores to the combination store format and 
opened 1 gasoline station.  In addition, 2 stores and 1 gasoline 
station were closed.  During the twenty-four weeks ended June 20, 
1998 the Company remodeled 3 discount or conventional stores, 
converted 6 discount or conventional stores to the combination store 
format and opened 2 gasoline stations.  In addition,  2 gasoline 
stations and 19 stores were sold or closed including 10 stores that 
were required to be sold by the Federal Trade Commission in 
connection with the Delchamps acquisition.  The Company's store 
count at the end of the quarter was 198 supermarkets (16 discount 
stores, 168 conventional stores and 14 combination stores) and 53 
gasoline stations as compared to 105 supermarkets (21 discount 
stores, 81 conventional stores and 3 combination stores) and 53 
gasoline stations at June 28, 1997. 

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal 1998 increased $48,472 
to $126,141 or 26.0% of net sales, compared to $77,669, or 25.4% 
of net sales, for the second quarter of fiscal 1997.  Gross profit as a 
percentage of sales was 25.3% for the twenty-four week period 
ended June 20, 1998 as compared to 25.3% for the twenty-five 
week period ended June 27, 1997.  During the twenty-four week 
period ended June 20, 1998, $2,070 was charged to excess 
shrink associated with Delchamps acquisition in the 
consolidated statements of operations. During the quarter ended 
June 20, 1998 the Company began to benefit from increased 
purchasing leverage resulting from the Delchamps acquisition.  The 
realized and expected benefits of such increased purchasing 
leverage are difficult to quantify precisely.  The Company has 
renegotiated several supply contracts and expects the resulting 
annualized cost savings to be approximately $7.1 million.  Other 
benefits of increased purchasing leverage include reduced costs 
from volume incentives.  The Company expects to continue to 
benefit from such purchasing leverage.  The increase in gross profit 
as a percentage of net sales is principally due to such increased 
purchasing leverage and the improvement in product mix in the 
combination stores.   This improvement in gross profit as a 
percentage of sales was partially offset by an increase in store 
shrink.  During the second quarter ended June 20, 1998, the 
Company made significant progress to reduce store shrink.

DIRECT STORE EXPENSES

Direct store expenses were $95,809 or 19.8% of net sales and 
$52,605 or 17.2% of net sales for the twelve week and thirteen 
week period and $190,032 or 19.8% of net sales and $97,408 or 
16.6% of net sales for the twenty-four week and twenty-five week 
period ended June 20, 1998 and June 28, 1997, respectively.  Direct 
store expenses increased primarily due to an increase in net sales 
(due to the Delchamps acquisition).  The increase in direct store 
expenses as a percentage of net sales was primarily in the areas of 
rent, labor and utilities. Rent expense as a percentage of net sales in 
the Delchamps stores is more than twice that of the other Company 
stores.  The increase in store labor as a percentage of net sales was 
principally due to a temporary increase in the number of employees, 
which was necessary in order to complete retraining required at the 
Delchamps supermarkets.  The increase in utility costs was 
principally due to the heat wave across the Southeast.   

WAREHOUSE, ADMINISTRATIVE AND GENERAL EXPENSES

Warehouse, administrative and general expenses were $18,347 or 
3.8% of net sales and $12,425 or 4.1% of net sales for the twelve 
week and thirteen week period and $36,468 or 3.8% of net sales and 
$28,671 or 4.9% of net sales for the twenty-four week and twenty-
five week period ended June 20, 1998 and June 28, 1997 
respectively.  Warehouse, administrative and general expenses 
increased primarily due to an increase in net sales and increased 
warehousing expenses resulting from the Delchamps transaction.  
The decrease in warehouse, administrative and general expenses as 
a percent of sales was primarily due to additional sales and a 
decrease in administrative expenses as a result of the closing of the 
Delchamps' Mobile headquarters in April 1998.  The Company has 
closed Delchamps' Hammond warehouse, which the Company 
expects will lead to substantial cost savings.  The resulting increase 
in volume at the Company's Jackson warehouse facilities has 
created operating inefficiencies that are currently being addressed 
by the Company's management and are expected to be resolved by 
the end of fiscal 1998.  As a result of these inefficiencies, the 
Company experienced higher warehouse expenses during the 
twenty-four weeks ended June 20, 1998 than it expects to 
experience in the remainder of fiscal 1998.  

ACQUISITION INTEGRATION COSTS AND OTHER SPECIAL  CHARGES

Acquisition integration costs and other special charges were 
$16,838 for the twenty-four week period ended June 20, 1998.
The Company incurred significant costs as a result of 
combining the Delchamps and Jitney-Jungle 
operations.  In accordance with EITF Releases 94-3 and 95-3
the Company has allocated certain of these costs to goodwill.  
However, certain other costs attributable to the Delchamps 
acquisition, including costs incurred in consolidating 
warehouse operations, 


<PAGE>


remerchandising of the Delchamps stores, and training of 
Delchamps employees have been written off as acquisition 
sots in accordance with the EITF guidelines.  Other special 
charges included severance benefits of $250 and loss of $294 
on stores sold under the consent decree with the Federal Trade 
Commission in the Delchamps acquisition and $16,294 of integration 
costs related to Delchamps.  Acquisition integration costs and other 
special charges consisting of $958 of severance benefits and $1,779 
relating to future payments to be made under an agreement with the 
Company's former chief executive officer were recorded during the 
thirteen week and twenty-five week period ended June 28, 1997.

OPERATING INCOME

Operating income was $9,143 or 1.9% of net sales for the twelve 
week period and ($1,110) or (.1 %) of net sales for the twenty-four 
week period ended June 20, 1998 as compared to $9,902 or 3.2% of 
net sales for the thirteen week period and $19,539 or 3.3% of net 
sales for the twenty-five week period ended  June 28, 1997.  The 
decrease in operating income was due to the factors discussed 
above. 

EBITDA

EBITDA (net income before interest income, special charges, 
interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and 
LIFO charges/credits) increased $7,063 or 38.0% to $25,635 or 
5.3% of net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 1998 as compared 
to $18,572 or 6.1% of net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 1997.  
EBITDA increased $6,537 or 18.3% to  $45,054 or 4.4% of net 
sales for the twenty-four week period ended June 20, 1998 as 
compared to $35,742 or 6.1% of net sales for  the twenty-five week 
period ended June 28, 1997.  EBITDA increased primarily due to an 
increase in sales.  EBITDA as presented is consistent with the 
definition used for covenant purposes contained in the Indenture.  
EBITDA is a widely accepted financial indicator of a company's 
ability to service debt.  However, EBITDA should not be construed 
as an alternative to operating income, net income or cash flows 
from operating activities (as determined in accordance with 
generally accepted accounting principles) and should not be 
construed as an indication of the Company's operating performance 
or as a measure of liquidity.

NET INTEREST EXPENSE

Net interest expense was $17,546 in the second quarter of fiscal 
1998 as compared to $8,297 in the second quarter of fiscal 1997 
and was $32,769 and $16,652 for the twenty-four week and twenty-
five week period ended June 20,1998 and June 28,1997, 
respectively.   The increase in interest expense was primarily due to 
interest expense on the $200 million Senior subordinated notes 
issued in September 1997.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE (BENEFIT)

Income tax expense for the thirteen weeks and twenty-five weeks 
ended June 28, 1997 was 35.6% and 36.3%, respectively, of pre-tax 
income compared to the federal and state statutory rate of 37.3%.  
The income tax benefit for the twelve weeks and twenty-four weeks 
ended June 20, 1998 was 29.6% and 34.4%, respectively, of pre-tax 
loss compared to the federal and state statutory rate of  37.3%; the 
difference in rates for the twelve weeks and twenty-four weeks 
ended June 20, 1998 occurred primarily because goodwill relating 
to the Delchamps acquisition is deductible for financial reporting 
purposes but not for income tax purposes. 



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Historically, the Company has funded its working capital 
requirements, capital expenditures and other needs principally from 
operating cash flows.  Due to the recapitalization in March 1996 
and acquisition of Delchamps in September 1997 the Company has 
become highly leveraged and has certain restrictions on its 
operations. At June 20, 1998, Jitney-Jungle had $561,149 of total 
long-term debt (including capitalized leases and current 
installments) and a shareholders deficit of $194,022.

The Company's principal uses of liquidity have been to fund 
working capital, meet debt service requirements and finance Jitney-
Jungle's strategic plans.  The Company's principal sources of 
liquidity have been cash flow from operations and borrowings 
under the Senior Credit Facility.  Outstanding borrowings at June 
20, 1998 were $88,517 under the Senior Credit Facility.

Cash used in operating activities during the twenty-four week 
period ended June 20, 1998 was $7,434.  Cash provided by 
operating activities during the twenty-five week period ended June 
28, 1997 was $36,058.  Accrued expenses decreased primarily due 
to the payment of interest on Senior Notes, Senior Subordinated 
Notes and the Senior Credit Facility.  Inventories decreased due to 
the consolidation of the warehouses and the closure or sale of 
certain stores during the first and second quarters of fiscal 1998.

Net cash used in investing activities was $29,781 and $14,537 for 
the twenty-four week and twenty-five week period ended June 20, 
1998 and June 28, 1997, respectively.  The Company paid 
approximately $5,007 in cash to former Delchamps shareholders 
and deposited $13,798 in cash with the clerk of court of Mobile 
County Alabama as required by law in connection with the 
appraisal proceeding described below.  The Company realized 
proceeds from the sale of 10 stores which were required to be sold 
by the Federal Trade Commission due to the Delchamps 
acquisition.  Also, the Company sold land for $4,483 during the 
second quarter of fiscal 1998.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $35,230 for the 
twenty-four week period ended June 20, 1998 and  net cash used 
was $24,012 for the twenty-five week period ended June 28, 1997.  
The principal sources of funds in financing activities for the twenty-
four week period ended June 20, 1998 were the proceeds of 
principal on long-term debt.  The principal uses of funds in 
financing activities for the twenty-four week period ended June 20, 
1998 were the payment of capital lease obligations and restructuring 
obligations.

Management believes that the Company will be able to finance 
capital expenditures and other cash requirements for the remainder 
of fiscal 1998 through cash flows from operations and borrowings 
under its Senior Credit Facility.  Capital expenditure plans are 
continuously evaluated and modified from time to time depending 
on cash availability and other economic factors.  The Company 
considers acquisition opportunities from time to time.  Any such 
future acquisitions may require the Company to seek additional debt 
or equity financing.

statements regarding future expectations about the Company's 
business, management's plans for future operations or similar

conditions generally or in the Company's markets, unusual or 
unanticipated costs or consequences relating to, or changes in, the 
Company's acquisition plans, demands placed on management by 
the substantial increase in the Company's size due to the acquisition 
of Delchamps, unanticipated or unusual distribution problems, 
breakdown of quality control, competitive pressures, labor 
disturbances and customer dissatisfaction.  Forward-looking

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In May 1998, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary 
Delchamps, Inc. instituted a proceeding in the Circuit Court of 
Mobile County, Alabama petitioning the court to determine the 
fair value (as defined in the Alabama Business Corporation Act) 
of 689,884 shares of former Delchamps, Inc. common stock held 
by persons purporting to exercise dissenters' rights in connection 
with the Delchamps Acquisition.  Delchamps, Inc. estimates 
such fair value to be $20 per share; the dissenting shareholders 
have demanded payment of $68 per share.  The Company has 
deposited $20 per share in cash with the clerk of the court, as 
required by law.  In its financial statements, the Company has 
accounted for the acquisition of these shares at a price of $30 per 
share, which was the price paid by the Company to other former 
Delchamps, Inc. shareholders.  Any final determination that the 
shares formerly held by dissenting shareholders have a fair value 
of less or more than $30 per share would be reflected as a 
decrease or increase in the Company's goodwill, which is being 
amortized over a 40 year period.  The Company does not expect 
the outcome of this matter to have a material effect on the 
Company's results of operations or the price of the acquisition, 
although no assurances can be given.

The Company is a party to certain litigation incurred in the course 
of business.  In the opinion of management, the ultimate liability, if 
any, which may result from this litigation will not have a material 
adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of 
operations.
