                            MARSH SUPERMARKETS, INC.
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
         (In thousands, except per share amounts or as otherwise noted)

OCTOBER 14, 2000

NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Marsh
Supermarkets, Inc. and subsidiaries were prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the
instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all the information
and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results
of operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. This report should be read in conjunction with the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended April 1, 2000. The balance
sheet at April 1, 2000 has been derived from the audited financial statements at
that date.

The Company's fiscal year ends on Saturday of the thirteenth week of each
calendar year. All references herein to "2001" and "2000" relate to the fiscal
years ending March 31, 2001 and April 1, 2000, respectively.

The condensed consolidated financial statements for the sixteen and twenty-eight
week periods ended October 14, 2000 and October 9, 1999, respectively, were not
audited by independent auditors. Preparation of the financial statements
requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses for the reporting periods. In the
opinion of management, the statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to present fairly, on a
consolidated basis, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows
for the periods presented. Certain amounts in the 2000 financial statements were
reclassified to conform with the 2001 presentation.

Operating results, for the twenty-eight week period ended October 14, 2000, are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full
fiscal year ending March 31, 2001.

NOTE B - LONG-TERM DEBT AND GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARIES

Other than three inconsequential subsidiaries, all of the Company's subsidiaries
(the "Guarantors") have fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and
several basis the Company's obligations under the $150.0 million of 8 7/8%
Senior Subordinated Notes. The Guarantors are 100% wholly-owned subsidiaries of
the Company. The Company has not presented separate financial statements and
other disclosures concerning each Guarantor because management has determined
that such information is not material to investors.

Summarized combined financial information for the Guarantors is set forth below:

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion includes certain forward-looking statements (statements
other than solely with respect to historical fact). Actual results could differ
materially from those reflected by the forward-looking statements due to known
and unknown risks and uncertainties which could adversely affect future results,
liquidity and capital resources. The risks and uncertainties include softness in
the general retail food industry, the entry of new competitive stores and
e-retailers in the Company's market, the stability of distribution incentives
from suppliers, the level of discounting by competitors, the timely and on
budget completion of store construction, expansion, conversion and remodeling,
the successful integration of acquisitions, uncertainties relating to tobacco
and environmental regulations, and the level of margins achievable in the
Company's operating divisions and their ability to increase sales and minimize
operating expenses. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any
forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.

Results of operations for interim periods do not necessarily reflect the results
that may be expected for the fiscal year.

The following table sets forth certain income statement components, expressed as
a percentage of sales and other revenues, and the percentage change in such
components:

SALES AND OTHER REVENUES

In the second quarter of 2001, consolidated sales and other revenues increased
$65.7 million, or 12.3%, from the second quarter of 2000 to $600.5 million.
Supermarket revenues increased $41.0 million, Village Pantry revenues increased
$10.4 million, Convenience Store Distributing Company (CSDC) revenues increased
$10.3 million, and Crystal Food Service revenues increased $2.4 million. Retail
sales (excluding fuel sales) increased 5.5%. Sales in comparable supermarkets
and convenience stores, including replacement stores and format conversions, but
excluding fuel, increased 2.6% from the second quarter of 2000. The increase in
supermarket revenues was comprised of $20.7 million from the acquisition of A.
L. Ross & Sons, Inc., $5.5 million from comparable store sales gains, and $14.8
million from stores opened since the beginning of the year earlier quarter.
Village Pantry inside store revenues increased 6.9%, and fuel gallons sold
increased 7.8%. Approximately $5.4 million of the increase in Village Pantry
revenues resulted from retail fuel prices significantly higher than the year
earlier quarter. The increase in CSDC revenues was primarily attributable to
higher cigarette manufacturer prices passed on to customers.

For the twenty-eight weeks ended October 14, 2000, consolidated sales and other
revenues increased $108.1 million, or 11.6%, from the same twenty-eight week
period of 2000 to $1,037.1 million. Supermarket revenues increased $57.1
million, Village Pantry revenues increased $19.9 million, CSDC revenues
increased $25.0 million, and Crystal Food Service revenues increased $3.5
million. Retail sales (excluding fuel sales) increased 6.2%. Sales in comparable
stores, including replacement stores and format conversions, but



                                       7
<PAGE>   8

excluding fuel, increased 2.9% from the prior year. The increase in supermarket
revenues was comprised of $20.7 million from the acquisition of A. L. Ross &
Sons, Inc., $16.2 million from comparable store sales gains and $20.2 million
from stores opened since the beginning of the prior year. Village Pantry inside
store revenues increased 6.8% and fuel gallons sold increased 8.6%.
Approximately $11.0 million of the increase in Village Pantry revenues resulted
from retail fuel prices significantly higher than the year earlier. The increase
in CSDC revenues is essentially attributable to higher cigarette manufacturer
prices passed on to customers.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit is calculated net of warehousing, transportation, and promotional
expenses. In the second quarter of 2001, consolidated gross profit increased
$17.6 million, or 13.6%, from the second quarter of 2000 to $146.6 million. As a
percentage of revenues, consolidated gross profit was 24.4% in the current
quarter compared to 24.1% for 2000. Consolidated gross profit included cigarette
price increase gains of $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2001, compared to
$1.2 million in the prior year quarter. Gross profit, as a percentage of
revenues, increased in supermarkets and Crystal Food Services, but declined in
Village Pantry and CSDC. Village Pantry gross profit percentage declined
primarily as a result of higher fuel sales at a gross profit percentage rate
significantly lower than that achieved on inside sales. Also, Village Pantry
fuel margin per gallon was slightly lower than the year earlier quarter. CSDC
gross profit percentage declined due to the aforementioned decline in cigarette
price increase gains and due to highly competitive cigarette pricing currently
in the marketplace.

For the twenty-eight weeks ended October 14, 2000, consolidated gross profit
increased $26.2 million, or 11.5%, from the year earlier period to $253.4
million. As a percentage of revenues, consolidated gross profit decreased to
24.4% from 24.5%. Gross profit, as a percentage of revenues, increased in
supermarkets and in Crystal Food Services, and declined in Village Pantry and
CSDC due to those factors cited above.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

In the second quarter of 2001, consolidated selling, general and administrative
expenses (SG&A) increased $16.2 million, or 14.7%, from the second quarter of
2000 to $127.0 million. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A expenses increased to
21.1% from 20.7% in the comparable year earlier quarter. With respect to the
SG&A percentage increase, new stores accounted for .1 percentage point of the
increase, advertising increased .2 percentage points as expenditures were
shifted from the first quarter to provide additional momentum for the holiday
season, comparable store labor costs increased .3 percentage points resulting
from an emphasis on service in order to maintain customer loyalty and drive
sales, and all other costs decreased .2 percentage points. Wage expense in
stores open both quarters, excluding supermarket conversions to the LoBill
format, increased 3.9% due to wage rate increases and increased labor hours
intended to drive same store sales gains.

For the twenty-eight weeks in 2001, SG&A increased $23.2 million, or 12.0%, from
the comparable twenty-eight weeks of 2000. As a percentage of revenues,
consolidated SG&A expenses increased to 20.9% from 20.8% in 2000. The increase

$1.5 million, gains on real estate sales (reported as revenues) decreased $0.2
million, and cigarette price gains resulting from manufacturers' prices
increases (reported as gross profit) decreased $0.8 million. Additionally, SG&A

The Company also acquired the assets of Primo Catering, a mid-scale caterer in
Indianapolis, Indiana. In 2001, the Company also plans to acquire several sites
for future development. The cost of these projects and other capital commitments
is estimated to be $70.0 million. Of this amount, the Company plans to fund
$15.0 million through equipment leasing, $27.0 million through sale/leasebacks,
$10.0 million from mortgages and believes it can finance the balance with
current cash balances, internally generated funds and amounts available under
the revolving credit facility. As of October 14, 2000, the Company had expended
$29.7 million for capital expenditures.

The Company's plans with respect to store construction, expansion, conversion
and remodeling may be revised in light of changing conditions, such as
competitive influences, its ability to negotiate successfully site acquisitions
or leases, zoning limitations and other governmental regulations. The timing of
projects is subject to normal construction and other delays. It is possible that
projects described above may not commence, others may be added, a portion of the
planned expenditures with respect to projects commenced during the current
fiscal year may carry over to the subsequent fiscal year, and the Company may
use other or different financing arrangements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operating activities in the first half of 2001 was $28.2
million, compared to $23.6 million in the first half of 2000. The increase in
net cash provided by operating activities was due primarily to a smaller buildup
of seasonal inventory in the current year. Working capital increased $38.6
million from April 1, 2000. Changes in working capital included a $7.8 million
increase in cash and equivalents, a $6.3 million increase in inventory to
support seasonal sales levels, a $10.0 million decrease in notes payables to
bank, a $5.6 million increase in trade accounts payable and a $25.3 million
decrease in current maturities of long-term liabilities. The increase in cash
and equivalents and decrease in notes payable to bank were due primarily to the
receipt of proceeds from the mortgage of two supermarkets. The increase in
inventory was essentially funded by the increase in trade accounts payable. The
decrease in current maturities of long-term liabilities was due to the payment
of amounts borrowed under revolving credit facilities.

During 2001, $50.0 million in bank revolving credit facilities matured and were
replaced with a new three year $90.0 million unsecured revolving credit
facility, of which $35.0 million was utilized at October 14, 2000. The new
facility contains various financial covenants including a funded debt to EBITDA
ratio and a fixed charge coverage ratio. The Company also has a bank commitment
that provides an additional $5.0 million in short-term borrowing at a rate equal
to or below the prime rate of the committed bank, of which none was utilized at
October 14, 2000.

The Company believes amounts available under its revolving credit agreement and
the bank commitment, cash flows from operating activities and lease financings
will be adequate to meet the Company's working capital needs, debt service
obligations and capital expenditures for the foreseeable future.
