THE COMPANY

The Company operates a chain of twenty-two supermarkets located in Central New
Jersey, as well as two liquor stores and two garden centers, all licensed as
ShopRite. The Company also operates a central food processing facility to supply
its stores with meat, various prepared salads, prepared foods and other items,
and a central baking facility which supplies its stores with bakery products.
The Company is a member of Wakefern Food Corporation, the largest retailer-owned
food cooperative warehouse in the United States and owner of the ShopRite name.

The Company has incorporated the concept of "World Class" supermarkets into its
operations. "World Class" supermarkets are significantly larger than
conventional supermarkets and feature fresh fish-on-ice, prime meat service
butcher departments, in-store bakeries, international foods including Chinese,
sushi and kosher sections, salad bars, snack bars, meals to go, bulk foods and
pharmacies. The Company has also introduced many of these features into its
conventionally sized supermarkets through extensive renovations; these stores
are considered "Mini-World Class" supermarkets. Currently, eighteen of the
Company's stores are "World Class," two are "Mini-World Class" and two are
conventional supermarkets.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Shareholder:

The Company's results from operations and our financial condition in fiscal 2001
continued to improve for the fourth year in a row. Sales for fiscal 2001
increased 9.1% to a record $945,301,000 from $866,363,000 in the prior year.
This increase was the result of improved sales in existing locations and the
full year of operations of the two new World Class locations. The first new
World Class store opened in February 2000 in Branchburg, New Jersey. The second
new World Class store, which opened in April 2000 in Wall Township, New Jersey,
replaced an older, smaller facility in Brielle, New Jersey. Comparable stores
sales increased 3.8% in fiscal 2001.

Income from operations increased 30% to $13,926,000 in fiscal 2001 from
$10,711,000 in fiscal 2000. Net income grew 65% to $3,938,000 or $3.50 per
diluted share in fiscal 2001 compared to $2,382,000 or $2.13 per diluted share
in the prior year period.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for
fiscal 2001 were $27,342,000, an increase of 19% over the fiscal 2000 EBITDA of
$22,914,000.

The Company's working capital position declined by $5,692,000 in fiscal 2001 to
a ratio of .90 to 1.00 from .98 to 1.00 in fiscal 2000. We spent $17,047,000 on
numerous capital projects during fiscal 2001, including $7,447,000 for equipment
and leasehold improvements for the remodeling of three locations, and $5,329,000
for new and replacement stores under construction. The Company made principal
payments under long-term debt, excluding capitalized leases, of $6,224,000 and
additional long-term debt of $929,000 was incurred. The Company and its lenders
amended the Credit Agreement to provide for additional borrowing capacity under
the revolving credit facility and to realign the timing of additional borrowing
and spending for capital expenditures to more closely track the projected timing
of these events. Additionally, the Credit Agreement now allows the Company to
repurchase its common stock for an aggregate purchase price not to exceed
$5,000,000. Additional information regarding the amendments to the Credit
Agreement is presented in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations."

On June 8, 2001 the Company announced the commencement of a stock repurchase
program whereby we will seek to repurchase shares of our common stock having a
value of up to $3,000,000. The Company's Board of Directors approved the stock
repurchase program to enhance shareholder value by providing liquidity to its
shareholders. The Company is utilizing internally generated funds and borrowings
under its revolving credit facility to purchase shares of its common stock under
the program, both in the open market and through privately negotiated
transactions. As indicated above, the Company's Credit Agreement was amended to
permit it to purchase shares of its common stock having an aggregate purchase
price not to exceed $5,000,000; however, at this time, the Board has limited its
approval to the repurchase of stock having a value of up to $3,000,000. As of
February 28, 2002, 43,363 shares of common stock had been repurchased, 5,300
shares in open market transactions and 38,063 shares in privately negotiated
transactions. Of the 38,063 shares, 28,863 shares were purchased from related
parties. $1,650,624, or an average of $38.07 per share, was expended for the
purchase of the 43,363 shares. Additional information regarding purchases of
stock from related parties is presented in the Company's proxy statement which
accompanies this annual report under the caption "Certain Business Relationships
and Related Party Transactions."

The Branchburg and Wall Township, New Jersey World Class stores have been very
well received by our customers, and have shown continued improvement in
operating results since opening. On November 14, 2001 a new World Class store in
Middletown, New Jersey opened. This location has exceeded initial projections
and is a replacement for an older, smaller store in the same shopping center.
Construction has commenced on three World Class stores, two of which are
replacement locations for older, smaller stores. Additionally, the expansion and
remodeling of another location is underway. Leases have also been signed for one
replacement and one new location and negotiations are ongoing for the expansion
of one existing store and for leases for one new and one replacement location.
All of these projects will be World Class stores.

The Company owns a 12.3% interest in Wakefern Food Corporation, which provides
purchasing, warehousing and distribution services on a cooperative basis to its
shareholder members, all of which are operators of ShopRite supermarkets.
Wakefern requires all of its shareholder members to enter into agreements with
Wakefern providing for certain commitments by, and restrictions on, its
shareholder members. Among the restrictions in the agreement is a general
requirement that a shareholder member must compensate Wakefern for lost
warehouse volume if the member withdraws from the cooperative. Similar
withdrawal payments are due if Wakefern loses volume by reason of a member
selling its stores, merging with another entity or transferring a controlling
corporate interest.

As previously reported, another member of Wakefern, Big V Supermarkets, Inc.
("Big V"), filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 and indicated its intent to
depart from Wakefern. Big V, which is similar in sales volume to the Company,
was unsuccessful in challenging provisions in its agreements with Wakefern which
require that withdrawing members make a payment to Wakefern to make up for the
resulting loss of volume to the cooperative. On November 16, 2001 Big V reported
that it had entered into a term sheet, and has subsequently entered into
definitive agreements, to sell substantially all of its assets to Wakefern. On
February 22, 2002 the Bankruptcy Court Judge ruled that a competing offer
submitted by a competitor, Stop & Shop, and supported by agreements with several
creditor groups, could also be presented to the Court. Following this approval,
Pathmark Stores, Inc. reported that it entered into an agreement with Stop &
Shop whereby Pathmark agreed to purchase nine Big V stores from Stop & Shop for
$71 million. These transactions are subject to Bankruptcy Court review and
approval. It is not possible to predict at this time what effect the reported
transactions will have on our Company or Wakefern. Additional information
regarding this subject is presented in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

At this time, we want to extend our appreciation to our employees, shareholders
and vendors for their continued loyalty and support. We also wish to express our
gratitude to our customers for their continued patronage of the Foodarama
ShopRite stores.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

As of May 11 and August 7, 2001, the Company and its lenders amended the Second
Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement (as amended, the
"Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the
Company's assets and provided for a total commitment of $58,000,000, including a
revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Note") of up to $28,000,000, a term
loan (the "Term Loan") in the amount of $10,000,000 and a capital expenditures
facility (the "Capex Facility") of up to $20,000,000.

The amended Credit Agreement (a) increases the total amount available to the
Company under the Revolving Note to $28,000,000 from $25,000,000, subject to the
borrowing base limitation of 65% of eligible inventory; (b) reallocates the
amount of permitted new indebtedness for fiscal year 2001 to fiscal year 2002 to
more closely meet the Company's projected borrowing needs; (c) reallocates the
limitations on indebtedness attributable to capitalized lease obligations over
the term of the Credit Agreement to more closely track new real estate lease
obligations; (d) permits capital expenditures relating to New/Replacement Store
Projects over the term of the Credit Agreement to more closely track the
projected timing of such expenditures; (e) permits capital expenditures relating
to Adjusted Capex over the term of the Credit Agreement to more closely track
the projected timing of such expenditures; (f) extends the expiration date of
the period during which the Company may borrow against the Capex Facility to
June 30, 2002; (g) allows the Company to repurchase its common stock for an
aggregate purchase price not to exceed $5,000,000 subject to certain conditions
and limitations; (h) allows for loans to employees not to exceed $50,000 in the
aggregate; and (i) amends certain definitions. Other terms and conditions of the
Credit Agreement previously reported upon by the Company have not been modified.
As of November 3, 2001 the Company owed $6,500,000 on the Term Loan and
$7,306,772 under the Capex Facility.

The Company's compliance with the major financial covenants under the Credit
Agreement was as follows as of November 3, 2001:

On December 31, 1999 the Company financed the purchase of $1,527,000 of POS
hardware in 17 operating locations. The financing bears interest at 7.60% and is
payable in monthly installments over its three year term.

On March 30, 1999 the Company financed the purchase of $520,000 of computer
equipment for all operating locations. The financing bears interest at 5.79% and
is payable in monthly installments over its three year term.

No cash dividends have been paid on the Common Stock since 1979, and we have no
present intentions or ability to pay any dividends in the near future on our
Common Stock. The Credit Agreement does not permit the payment of any cash

Working Capital:

At November 3, 2001 and October 28, 2000, the Company had working capital
deficiencies of $6,907,000 and $1,215,000, respectively, compared to working
capital of $2,507,000 at October 30, 1999. Working capital decreased in fiscal
2001 primarily as the result of the net increase in accounts payable and accrued
expenses of $5,050,000 over the increase in inventory. This increase relates
primarily to cost of merchandise and capital expenditures for the new
Middletown, New Jersey store, opened November 14, 2001, as well as accrued
occupancy costs related to the 53rd week of fiscal 2001. Accounts receivable
consist primarily of returned checks due the Company, coupon receivables, third
party pharmacy insurance claims and organization charge accounts. The terms of
most receivables are 30 days or less. The allowance for uncollectible accounts
is large in comparison to the amount of accounts receivable because the
allowance consists primarily of a reserve for returned checks which are not
written off until all collection efforts are exhausted. The Company normally
requires small amounts of working capital since inventory is generally sold at
approximately the same time that payments to Wakefern and other suppliers are
due and most sales are for cash or cash equivalents.

Working capital decreased in fiscal 2000 primarily as the result of the net
increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $3,035,000 over the
increase in inventory, which related primarily to cost of merchandise and
operating expenses for the new Branchburg and Wall Township, New Jersey stores.
Additionally, the current portion of long-term debt, primarily related to
equipment financing, increased.

Working capital in fiscal 1999 increased primarily due to increases in inventory
and receivables and decreases in the current portion of long-term debt partially
offset by increases in accounts payable. These increases were primarily due to
increased sales and the impact of double coupons.

Working capital ratios were as follows:

               November 3, 2001...........           .90 to 1.00
               October 28, 2000...........           .98 to 1.00
               October 30, 1999...........          1.05 to 1.00

Cash flows (in millions) were as follows:

Fiscal 2001 capital expenditures totaled $17,047,000 with depreciation of
$12,840,000 compared to $16,750,000 and $11,524,000, respectively for fiscal
2000 and $8,781,000 and $10,838,000, respectively for fiscal 1999. The increase
in depreciation in fiscal 2001 was the result of the purchase of equipment and
leasehold improvements for the three locations remodeled during fiscal 2001 and
a full year of depreciation for the locations opened in fiscal 2000. The
increase in depreciation in fiscal 2000 was the result of the purchase of
equipment and leasehold improvements for the two new locations as well as two
additional real estate capitalized leases. The increase in depreciation in
fiscal 1999 resulted from the opening of two locations in fiscal 1998, a
capitalized lease for one of the two locations and the modification of a
capitalized real estate lease in fiscal 1999 for the expansion of a location.
Capital expenditures increased in fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000 as the result of
the purchase of equipment and leasehold improvements for the locations remodeled
in fiscal 2001 and the two locations opened in fiscal 2000 and the new
Middletown store opened November 14, 2001. Capital expenditures declined in
fiscal 1999 when no new stores were opened.

In fiscal 2001 net long-term debt decreased $5,959,000 as the result of payments
made to reduce the balances outstanding under existing debt. The source of these
payments was cash generated by operations and an increase in the revolving
credit facility of $929,000.

In fiscal 2000 long-term debt increased $25,499,000 due to the capitalization of
real estate leases for the two locations opened in the year, the financing of
POS hardware and equipment for two new locations and the restructuring of
borrowings under the Credit Agreement. These increases were partially offset by
cash generated by operations used to pay down a portion of the balances
outstanding under the revolving credit facility and other existing debt.

                               ANNUAL REPORT 2001
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In fiscal 1999 long-term debt increased $3,858,000 due to the modification of a
capitalized real estate lease for the expansion of the West Long Branch, New
Jersey store, the financing of computer equipment purchased and financing
obtained under the revolving credit facility. These increases were partially
offset by cash generated by operations used to pay down existing debt.

During the year ended November 3, 2001, the Company repurchased a total of
29,070 shares of Common Stock under the stock repurchase program announced on
June 8, 2001. 25,070 of these shares were purchased in privately negotiated
transactions. 7,000 of these shares were owned by the Estate of Mary Saker, of
which the Company's Chairman, Joseph J. Saker, is a co-executor, and 18,000
shares were owned by certain members of Mr. Saker's family. $1,067,927, or an
average of $36.74 per share, was expended for the purchase of the 29,070 shares.

The Company had $18,691,000 of available credit, at November 3, 2001, under its
revolving credit facility. If Net Income and earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") decrease, as discussed in the Net
Income section of Management's Discussion and Analysis--Results of Operations,
the Company will borrow additional funds under its revolving credit facility.
The Credit Agreement will adequately meet our operating needs, scheduled capital
expenditures and debt service for fiscal 2002.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales:

The Company's sales were $945.3 million, $866.4 million and $778.7 million,
respectively in fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999. This represents an increase of 9.1
percent in 2001 and an increase of 11.3 percent in 2000. These changes in sales
levels were the result of the full year of operations in fiscal 2001 of two
locations opened in February and April 2000 and the 53rd week in fiscal 2001.
The location opened in April 2000 replaced a smaller, older store. Comparable
store sales increased 3.8% in fiscal 2001 and 4.2% in fiscal 2000.

Gross Profit:

Gross profit totaled $234.2 million in fiscal 2001 compared to $208.9 million in
fiscal 2000 and $186.1 million in fiscal 1999. Gross profit as a percent of
sales was 24.8% in fiscal 2001, 24.1% in fiscal 2000 and 23.9% in fiscal 1999.

In fiscal 2001 gross profit as a percentage of sales increased primarily as a
result of improved product mix, the contribution of the new locations, the
completion of promotional programs initiated by the Company for the locations
opened in fiscal 2000, a reduction in product loss through improved shrink
control and more efficient commissary operations, partially offset by the
completion of Wakefern incentive programs for the new locations opened in the
prior fiscal year.

The increase in fiscal 2000 of gross profit as a percentage of sales was
primarily due to improved product mix, reduced Wakefern assessment as a
percentage of sales and Wakefern incentive programs for the new locations opened
in fiscal 2000, partially offset by promotional programs for the new locations
opened in the current year period, the completion of Wakefern incentive programs
for the new locations opened in fiscal 1998 and the adoption of the
Last-In-First-Out ("LIFO") method of inventory valuation for grocery and nonfood
categories. See Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements--Merchandise Inventories.

In fiscal 1999 gross profit declined as a percentage of sales as a result of
increased promotional programs partially offset by improved product mix, reduced
Wakefern assessment as a percentage of sales and the continuation of Wakefern
incentive programs for the two new locations opened in fiscal 1998.

Patronage dividends applied as a reduction of the cost of merchandise sold were
$6,515,000, $5,903,000 and $5,294,000 for the last three fiscal years. This
translates to .69%, .68% and .68% of sales for the respective periods.

Gross profit dollars and percentage may be impacted by increased costs resulting
from the potential change in the relationship between Big V and Wakefern. These
increased costs to Wakefern could result in higher assessment charges to the
Company. See Item 1. Business Wakefern Food Corporation.

Operating, general and administrative expenses increased as a percent of sales
when comparing fiscal 2001 to fiscal 2000. Increases in labor and related fringe
benefits, administrative expense, occupancy, depreciation, other store expenses,
which include Wakefern support services and debit/credit card fees, and a
decrease in miscellaneous income were partially offset by decreases in
advertising, pre-opening costs and reserve for closed store expense. The
increase in labor and related fringe benefits was the result of additional
personnel for all of fiscal 2001 for the two new stores opened during fiscal
2000 and increased sales in service intensive departments. Administrative
expense increased as the result of increases in employee incentive programs and
the charges related to the stock incentive plan. Occupancy increased due to
increased costs for CAM, real estate taxes and sanitation. Depreciation expense
increased due to a full year of depreciation for the equipment, leasehold
improvements and the capitalized leases for the two stores opened in fiscal 2000
and additional depreciation related to the three stores remodeled in fiscal
2001. Other store expenses increased due to increases in charges for certain
Wakefern programs. Miscellaneous income decreased due to a lack of income from
the sale of recycled cardboard. Selling expense increased in dollars but
declined as a percentage of sales. Pre-opening costs in fiscal 2001 related to
the new Middletown store which did not open until November 14, 2001 while two
stores were opened in fiscal 2000. The decrease in the reserve for closed store
expense relates primarily to the expensing in fiscal 2000 of anticipated
expenses for a location closed in April 2000 when the new Wall Township store
opened. As a percentage of sales, labor and related fringe benefits increased
..30%, administrative expense increased .21%, occupancy increased .06%,
depreciation increased .05%, other store expenses increased .05% and
miscellaneous income decreased .08%. These increases were partially offset by
decreases in selling expense of .05%, pre-opening costs of .09% and reserve for
closed store expense of .16%. Pre-opening costs were $114,000 in fiscal 2001.

Operating, general and administrative expenses increased as a percent of sales
when comparing fiscal 2000 to fiscal 1999. Increases in labor and related fringe
benefits, supplies, pre-opening costs and reserve for closed store expense were
partially offset by decreases in selling expense, occupancy, administration and
depreciation. Labor and related fringe benefits increased as the result of
additional personnel dedicated to the two new stores, increased sales in service
intensive departments and premium rates paid to existing employees to work
additional hours due to labor shortages in certain of our marketing areas.
Supplies increased due to increased sales in supply intensive departments and an
increase in plastic prices which is related to increases in the cost of
petroleum. Pre-opening costs were for the new stores opened in February and
April 2000. The reserve for closed store expense relates primarily to the
anticipated expenses to be incurred over the balance of the lease for the
location closed in April 2000 when the new Wall Township store opened. The
decrease in selling expense was the result of decreased promotional activity,
includ-

                               ANNUAL REPORT 2001
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ing the modification of a variety of incentive programs, in our marketing area.
Occupancy decreased as the result of an increase in rental income from
sub-tenants within our stores and the decrease in fixed occupancy costs as a
percentage of sales. Depreciation and administration increased in dollars but
declined as a percentage of sales. As a percentage of sales, labor and related
fringe benefits increased .29%, supplies increased .07%, pre-opening costs
increased .10% and reserve for closed store expense increased .13%. Pre-opening
costs were $895,000 in fiscal 2000. These increases were partially offset by
decreases in selling expense of .40%, occupancy of .28%, administration of .09%
and depreciation of .06%.

Amortization expense decreased in fiscal 2001 to $576,000 compared to $679,000
in fiscal 2000 and $973,000 in fiscal 1999. The decrease in fiscal 2001, as
compared to fiscal 2000, was the result of decreased amortization of deferred
escalation rents partially offset by increased amortization of deferred
financing costs. The decrease in fiscal 2000, as compared to fiscal 1999, was
the result of decreased amortization of deferred financing costs and bargain
leases, partially offset by increased amortization of deferred escalation rents,
which resulted from the modification of the amortization of one operating lease
in fiscal 1999. See Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements--Intangibles and Deferred Financing Costs.

Interest Expense:

Interest expense totaled $7.6 million in fiscal 2001 compared to $7.1 million in
fiscal 2000 and $5.6 million in fiscal 1999. The increase in fiscal 2001, as
compared to fiscal 2000, was due to an increase in average outstanding debt,
including capitalized lease obligations partially offset by a decrease in the
average interest rate paid on debt. The increase in fiscal 2000, as compared to
fiscal 1999, was due to an increase in the average outstanding debt in fiscal
2000, including capitalized lease obligations and an increase in the average
interest rate paid on the debt.

If net income and EBITDA decrease, as discussed in the Net Income section of
Management's Discussion and Analysis--Results of Operations, the Company will
borrow additional funds under its revolving credit facility thereby increasing
interest expense.

Income Taxes:

The Company recorded a tax provision of $2.6 million in fiscal 2001, $1.6
million in fiscal 2000 and $1.1 million in fiscal 1999. See Note 13 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net Income:

The Company had net income of $3,938,000 or $3.50 per diluted share in fiscal
2001 compared to net income of $2,382,000 or $2.13 per diluted share in fiscal
2000. EBITDA for fiscal 2001 were $27,342,000 as compared to $22,914,000 in
fiscal 2000.

Fiscal 1999 resulted in net income of $1,945,000 or $1.74 per diluted share.
EBITDA for fiscal 1999 were $20,151,000.

If gross profit decreases and interest expense increases as discussed in the
Gross Profit and Interest Expense sections of Management's Discussion and
Analysis--Results of Operations, net income and EBITDA will also decrease.

Weighted average diluted shares outstanding were 1,124,192 for fiscal 2001 and
1,117,290 for both fiscal 2000 and fiscal 1999.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Effective October 29, 2000 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 133 ("SFAS 133"), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities". This statement establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. SFAS 133 requires the
recognition of all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the balance
sheet and measures those instruments at fair value. The Company does not
currently engage in any hedging activity or hold any derivative instruments and
has no immediate plans to do so in the future. There has been no impact from
adopting the provisions of SFAS 133.

                 FOODARAMA SUPERMARKETS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Effective October 29, 2000 the Company adopted, the Securities and Exchange
Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, ("SAB 101") "Revenue Recognition
in Financial Statements". SAB 101 provides additional guidance on revenue
recognition as well as criteria for when revenue is generally realized and
earned and also requires the deferral of incremental costs. There was no
significant impact from adopting the provisions of SAB 101 in fiscal 2001.

Effective October 29, 2000 the Company adopted the Emerging Issues Task Force
Issue No. 00-14 ("EITF 00-14") "Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives", which
provides guidance on the accounting for certain sales incentives offered by
companies to their customers, such as discounts, coupons, rebates and free
products or services. In accordance with the provisions of EITF 00-14 the
Company recorded those sales incentives covered by EITF 00-14 as a reduction of
sales, resulting in a corresponding reduction in operating, general and
administrative expenses, with no impact on the Company's net income. Prior year
amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
Sales incentives relating to this change in presentation amounted to
$19,331,000, $19,877,000 and $20,967,000 for the years ended November 3, 2001,
October 28, 2000 and October 30, 1999, respectively.

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 ("SFAS 142"), "Accounting for Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets" which is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2001. SFAS 142 discontinues the practice of amortizing goodwill and
indefinite lived intangible assets and initiates an annual review for
impairment. Impairment would be examined more frequently if certain indicators
are encountered. Intangible assets with a determinable useful life will continue
to be amortized over that period. The Company is currently assessing, but has
not yet determined, the impact of SFAS 142 on its financial position and results
of operations. The Company plans to adopt SFAS 142 in the first quarter of
fiscal year 2003.

In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement Of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 ("SFAS 144"), "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", which is required to be applied in
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS 144 requires, among other
things, the application of one accounting model for long-lived assets that are
impaired or to be disposed of by sale. The Company believes that the adoption of
SFAS 144 will not have a significant impact on its financial position or results
of operation.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Tabular dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

Note 1 -- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

Foodarama Supermarkets, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company"), operate 22
ShopRite supermarkets, primarily in Central New Jersey. The Company is a member
of Wakefern Food Corporation ("Wakefern"), the largest retailer-owned food
cooperative in the United States.

Fiscal Year

The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to October 31. Fiscal
2001 consists of the 53 weeks ended November 3, 2001, fiscal 2000 consists of
the 52 weeks ended October 28, 2000, and fiscal 1999 consists of the 52 weeks
ended October 30, 1999.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues from the sale of products are recognized at the point of sale to the
Company's customers. Vendor rebates and credits that relate to the Company's
buying and merchandising activities are recognized as earned.

Industry Segment

The Company operates in one industry segment, the retail sale of food and
nonfood products, primarily in the Central New Jersey region.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial statements in
order to conform to the current year presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Cash and cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable are reflected in the
consolidated financial statements at carrying value which approximates fair
value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair value of
long-term debt was approximately equivalent to its carrying value, due to the
fact that the interest rates currently available to the Company for debt with
similar terms are approximately equal to the interest rates for its existing
debt. As the Company's investments in Wakefern can only be sold to Wakefern for
approximately the amount invested, it is not practicable to estimate the fair
value of such stock. Determination of the fair value of related party
receivables and long-term debt-related party is not practicable due to their
related party nature.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Merchandise Inventories

Merchandise inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or
market with cost being determined under the retail method. Effective October 31,
1999, the Company adopted the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of inventory
valuation for its grocery and nonfood inventory items. The Company believes that
the LIFO method, as applied to these inventory items, results in a better
matching of revenues and expenses. Because the October 30, 1999 inventory, which
is valued at the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, is the opening LIFO
inventory, there is neither a cumulative effect to October 31, 1999, nor pro
forma amounts of retroactive application of changing to the LIFO method. The
decision to change to LIFO was made in the third quarter of fiscal year 2000.


15


                  FOODARAMA SUPERMARKETS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If the FIFO method had been used, inventory at November 3, 2001 and October 28,
2000 would have been $1,623,000 and $723,000 higher, respectively.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost and is depreciated on a straight-line
basis over the estimated useful lives ranging between three and ten years for
equipment, the shorter of the useful life or lease term for leasehold
improvements, and twenty years for buildings. Repairs and maintenance are
expensed as incurred.

Property and equipment under capital leases are recorded at the lower of fair
market value or the net present value of the minimum lease payments. They are
depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the related lease terms
or its useful life.

Investments

The Company's investment in its principal supplier, Wakefern, is stated at cost
(see Note 4).

Intangibles

Intangibles consist of goodwill and favorable operating lease costs. Goodwill is
being amortized on a straight-line basis over periods from 15 to 36 years. The
favorable operating lease costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis
over the terms of the related leases which range from 12 to 24 years.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews the carrying values of its long-lived assets for possible
impairment whenever circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may
not be recoverable. An impairment is recognized to the extent the sum of the
undiscounted estimated future cash flow expected to result from the use of the
asset is less than the carrying value.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs are being amortized over the life of the related debt
using the effective interest method.

Postretirement Benefits other than Pensions

The Company accrues for the cost of providing postretirement benefits,
principally supplemental income payments and limited medical benefits, over the
working careers of the officers in the plan.

Postemployment Benefits

The Company accrues for the expected cost of providing postemployment benefits,
primarily short-term disability payments, over the working careers of its
employees.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $8.8, $8.5
and $7.5 million for the fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Store Closing Costs

The costs, net of amounts expected to be recovered, are expensed upon the
closing of a store. It is reasonably possible that these estimates may change in
the near term. Operating results continue to be reported until a store is
closed.

Stock Option Plan

The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") and related
interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options. Under this method,
compensation cost is measured as the amount by which the market price of the
underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the stock option at the date at
which both the number of options granted and the exercise price are known.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings per common share are based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding, plus the incremental shares that
would have been outstanding upon the assumed exercise of all diluted stock
options, subject to antidilution limitations.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Effective October 29, 2000, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS 133"), "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. SFAS 133
requires the recognition of all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on
the balance sheet and measures those instruments at fair value. The Company does
not currently engage in any hedging activity or hold any derivative instruments.
Therefore, there has been no impact from adopting the provisions of SFAS 133.

Effective October 29, 2000, the Company adopted the Securities and Exchange
Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, ("SAB 101"), "Revenue Recognition
in Financial Statements." This Bulletin provides additional guidance on revenue
recognition as well as criteria for when revenue is generally realized and
earned and also requires the deferral of incremental costs. There was no
significant impact from adopting the provisions of SAB 101 in fiscal 2001.

Effective October 29, 2000, the Company adopted the Emerging Issues Task Force
Issue No. 00-14 ("EITF 00-14"), "Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives." EITF
00-14 provides guidance on the accounting for certain sales incentives offered
by companies to their customers, such as discounts, coupons, rebates and free
products or services. In accordance with the provisions of EITF 00-14, the
Company recorded those sales incentives covered by EITF 00-14 as a reduction of
sales, resulting in a corresponding reduction in selling, general and
administrative expenses, with no impact on the Company's net income. Prior year
amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Sales incentives relating to this change in presentation amounted to
$19,331,000, $19,877,000 and $20,967,000 for the years ended November 3, 2001,
October 28, 2000 and October 30, 1999, respectively.

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Accounting for Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142") which is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2001. SFAS 142 discontinues the practice of amortizing
goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets and initiates an annual review
for impairment. Impairment would be examined more frequently if certain
indicators were encountered. Intangible assets with a determinable useful life
will continue to be amortized over that period. The Company is currently
assessing but has not yet determined the impact of SFAS 142 on its financial
position and results of operations. The Company plans to adopt SFAS 142 in the
first quarter of fiscal year 2003.

In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"), which is required to be applied in
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS 144 requires, among other
things, the application of one accounting model for long-lived assets that are
impaired or to be disposed of by sale. The Company believes that the adoption of
SFAS 144 will not have a significant impact on its financial position or results
of operations.

Note 2 -- Concentration of Cash Balance

As of November 3, 2001 and October 28, 2000, cash balances of approximately
$1,179,000 and $1,173,000, respectively, were maintained in bank accounts
insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). These balances
exceed the insured amount of $100,000.

Note 4 -- Related Party Transactions

Wakefern Food Corporation

As required by Wakefern's By-Laws, all members of the cooperative are required
to make an investment in the common stock of Wakefern for each supermarket
operated ("Store Investment Program"), with the exact amount per store computed
in accordance with a formula based on the volume of each store's purchases from
Wakefern. The maximum required investment per store was $550,000 at November 3,
2001 and October 28, 2000, and $500,000 at October 30, 1999. During fiscal 2000
and 1999, the required investment in Wakefern increased. This resulted in a
total increase in the investment in Wakefern by $1,039,000 in 2000 and
$1,286,000 in 1999, and a related increase in the obligations due Wakefern for
the same amount, respectively. This increase in the obligation is non-interest
bearing and is payable over four years, with three years currently remaining.
The Company has a 12.3% investment in Wakefern of $11,805,000 at November 3,
2001 and October 28, 2000. Wakefern is operated on a cooperative basis for its
members. The shares of stock in Wakefern are assigned to and held by Wakefern as
collateral for any obligations due Wakefern. In addition, the obligations to
Wakefern are personally guaranteed by principal officers/shareholders of the
Company. As of November 3, 2001 and October 28, 2000, the Company was obligated
to Wakefern for $2,212,000 and $3,092,000, respectively, for the increase in its
required investment (see Note 8 Long-term Debt, Related Party).

The Company also has an investment of approximately 10.0% in Insure-Rite, Ltd.,
a company affiliated with Wakefern, which was $953,000 at November 3, 2001 and
October 28, 2000. During the year ended October 28, 2000, the Company was
required to invest an additional $124,000 relating to the opening of two new
stores. Insure-Rite, Ltd. provides the Company with a portion of its liability
insurance coverage. Insurance premiums paid to Insure-Rite, Ltd. for fiscal
years 2001, 2000 and 1999 were $3,819,000, $3,528,000 and $3,275,000,
respectively.

As a stockholder member of Wakefern, the Company earns a share of an annual
Wakefern patronage dividend. The dividend is based on the distribution of
operating profits on a pro rata basis in proportion to the dollar volume of
business transacted by each member with Wakefern during each fiscal year. It is
the Company's policy to accrue quarterly an estimate of the annual patronage
dividend. The Company reflects the patronage dividend as a reduction of the cost
of merchandise in the consolidated statements of operations. In addition, the
Company also receives from Wakefern other product incentives and rebates. For
fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, total patronage dividends and other product
incentives and rebates were $9,909,000, $9,273,000 and $8,202,000, respectively.

At November 3, 2001 and October 28, 2000, the Company has current receivables
due from Wakefern of approximately $8,970,000 and $8,557,000, respectively,
representing patronage dividends, vendor rebates, coupons and other receivables
due in the ordinary course of business and a noncurrent receivable representing
a deposit of approximately $1,593,000 and $1,782,000, respectively.

In September 1987, the Company and all other stockholder members of Wakefern
entered into an agreement with Wakefern, as amended in 1992, which provides for
certain commitments and restrictions on all stockholder members of Wakefern. The
agreement contains an evergreen provision providing for an indefinite term and
is subject to termination ten years after the approval of 75% of the outstanding
voting stock of Wakefern. Under the agreement, each stockholder, including the
Company, agreed to purchase at least 85% of its merchandise in certain defined
product categories from Wakefern and, if it fails to meet such requirements, to
make payments to Wakefern based on a formula designed to compensate Wakefern for
its lost profit. Similar payments are due if Wakefern loses volume by reason of
the sale of one or more of a stockholder's stores, merger with another entity or
on the transfer of a controlling interest in the stockholder.

The Company fulfilled its obligation to purchase a minimum of 85% in certain
defined product categories from Wakefern for all periods presented. The
Company's merchandise purchases from Wakefern, including direct store delivery
vendors processed by Wakefern, approximated $647, $588 and $536 million for the
fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Wakefern charges the Company for, and provides the Company with support services
in numerous administrative functions. These services include advertising,
insurance, supplies, technical support for communications and in-store computer
systems, equipment purchasing, and the coordination of coupon processing.

In addition to its investment in Wakefern, which carries only voting rights, the
Company's President serves as a member of Wakefern's Board of Directors and its
finance committee. Several of the Company's officers and employees also hold
positions on various Wakefern committees.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company has receivables from related parties that include shareholders,
directors, officers, and real estate partnerships. At October 28, 2000,
approximately $180,000 of these receivables consisted of notes bearing interest
at 9%. These receivables had been classified based upon the scheduled payment
terms. The remaining amounts were non-interest bearing, had no repayment terms
and were classified based on expected payment dates. As of November 3, 2001,
these receivables had been fully repaid.

During the fiscal year ended November 3, 2001, the Company utilized an entity,
which is wholly-owned by the daughter of the Company's Chairman of the Board, to
provide construction management services on several store renovations. The
Company incurred $214,000 of construction management fees relating to this
entity and these amounts have been included in property and equipment.

                               ANNUAL REPORT 2001
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company has a Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement which was amended and
assigned to three financial institutions on January 7, 2000, and was further
amended May 11 and August 7, 2001 (as amended, the "Credit Agreement"). The
Credit Agreement is collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets,
provided for a total commitment of $58,000,000 and matures December 31, 2004.
The amended Credit Agreement (a) increases the total amount available to the
Company under the Revolving Note to $28,000,000 from $25,000,000, subject to the
borrowing base limitation of 65% of eligible inventory; (b) reallocates the
amount of permitted new indebtedness for fiscal year 2001 to fiscal year 2002 to
more closely meet the Company's projected borrowing needs; (c) reallocates the
limitations on indebtedness attributable to capitalized lease obligations over
the term of the Credit Agreement to more closely track new real estate lease
obligations; (d) permits capital expenditures ("Capex") relating to
New/Replacement Store Projects over the term of the Credit Agreement to more
closely track the projected timing of such expenditures; (e) permits capital
expenditures relating to Adjusted Capex over the term of the Credit Agreement to
more closely track the projected timing of such expenditures; (f) extends the
expiration date of the period during which the Company may borrow against the
Capex Facility to June 30, 2002; (g) allows the Company to repurchase its common
stock for an aggregate purchase price not to exceed $5,000,000 subject to
certain conditions and limitations (see Note 12); (h) allows for loans to
employees not to exceed $50,000 in the aggregate; and (i) amends certain
definitions. Other terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement previously
reported upon by the Company have not been modified.

The Agreement provides the Company with the option to convert portions of the
debt to Eurodollar loans, as defined in the Agreement, which have interest rates
indexed to LIBOR. The Agreement consists of a Revolving Note, a Term Loan and a
Capital Expenditure Facility. The previous outstanding balances under the Stock
Redemption Note and Expansion Loan were fully satisfied and replaced by this
Agreement. These previous loans had fixed interest rates of 8.38% and 9.18%,
respectively.

The Revolving Note has an overall availability of $28,000,000, not to exceed 65%
of eligible inventory, and provides for availability of up to $4,500,000 for
letters of credit. The Revolving Note bears interest at prime plus .50% or LIBOR
plus 2.50%.

The Company had a letter of credit outstanding of $1,012,004 and $2,000,000 at
November 3, 2001 and October 28, 2000, respectively. A commitment fee of .5% is
charged on the unused portion of the Revolving Note. Available credit under the
Revolving Note was $18,691,000 and $18,863,000 at November 3, 2001 and October
28, 2000. As of November 3, 2001 and October 28, 2000, $7,475,000 and $7,001,000
of cash receipts on hand or in transit were restricted for application against
the Revolving Note balance.

The Term Loan is $10,000,000 and is payable in quarterly principal installments
of $500,000 commencing April 1, 2000 through December 31, 2004. Interest is
payable monthly at prime plus .75% or LIBOR plus 2.75%. At November 3, 2001,
$6,000,000 of the Term Loan balance was under a one month Eurodollar rate of
5.39%, maturing November 2001, which was renewed through February 2002 at a rate
of 4.67%.

The $20,000,000 Capital Expenditure Facility provides for a two-year
non-restoring commitment to fund equipment purchases for five new stores, with a
maximum of $4,000,000 per store. Interest only is due monthly at prime plus .75%
or LIBOR plus 2.75% for any amount utilized during the first two years of the
commitment. Amounts borrowed through December 31, 2001 will be converted to a
term loan with interest payable monthly at rates described above and fixed
quarterly principal payments, commencing April 1, 2002, calculated on a
seven-year amortization schedule. Additional amounts borrowed after December 31,
2001 through June 30, 2002 will be converted to a term loan with interest
payable monthly at rates described above and fixed quarterly principal payments,
commencing October 1, 2002, calculated on a six and a half-year amortization
schedule. A balloon payment is due at December 31, 2004 for amounts outstanding
on the term loans. A commitment fee of .5% is charged on the unused portion of
the Capital Expenditure Facility. The Company had $7,306,000 and $7,758,000
outstanding as of November 3, 2001 and October 28, 2000, respectively and had
$12,000,000 available under this facility. At November 3, 2001, $7,000,000 of
the Capital Expenditure facility was under a one month Eurodollar rate of 5.31%,
maturing November 2001, which was renewed through February 2002 at a rate of
4.60%.

The Agreement places restrictions on dividend payments and requires the
maintenance of debt service coverage and leverage ratios and other financial
ratios, as well as limitations on capital expenditures and new debt. For the
year ended October 28, 2000, the Company exceeded its capital expenditure and
adjusted indebtedness limits, which were waived.

The prime rate at November 3, 2001 and October 28, 2000 was 5.50% and 9.50%,
respectively.

Operating Leases

The Company is obligated under operating leases for rent payments expiring at

stipulated minimum. Percentage rent expense was $268,000, $264,000 and $248,000
for the fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Under the majority of
the leases, the Company has the option to renew for additional terms at
specified rentals.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On August 8, 2001 (the "Grant Date"), the Company granted 107,500 shares as
stock options and 11,000 shares in the form of Stock Performance Units (the
"Units"), which represent deferred compensation based upon the increase in the
market value of the Company's common stock during the grantee's employment. The
stock options consist of 50,000 shares granted to each of the Chairman of the
Board and the President of the Company and vest quarterly from the grant date
over a five-year period. The remaining 7,500 shares were granted to certain
officers and elected board members of the Company and vest, per individual, 250
shares at the Grant Date and 250 shares each year thereafter for the next three
years.

The Units are payable in cash only, were granted to certain officers and senior
management of the Company and vest, per individual, 250 units at the Grant Date
and 250 units thereafter, for the next one to three years.

The term of the stock options and Units granted expire ten years after the grant
date. The exercise price of the options and the market price of the Company's
Common Stock at the date of grant were $19.60 and $36.50, respectively. At the
date of grant, the Company recorded deferred compensation expense and a related
adjustment to capital in excess of par of $1,817,000 relating to the stock
options granted. For the year ended November 3, 2001, the Company realized
compensation expense relating to the stock option plan of $121,000. For the year
ended November 3, 2001, the Company realized compensation expense of $135,000
related to the Units granted, based on the market price of the Company's common
stock of $40.75 at November 3, 2001.

As of November 3, 2001, none of the vested stock options or Units were
exercised. The following table summarizes stock option and Units activity:

Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by
Statement 123, and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its
employee stock options under the fair value method of that Statement. The fair
value for these options was estimated at $22.93 on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the
fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly
subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because
the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly
different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective
input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's
opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single
measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

Note 14 -- Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in various legal actions and claims arising in the

Note 15 -- Retirement and Benefit Plans

Defined Benefit Plans

The Company sponsors two defined benefit pension plans covering administrative
personnel and members of a union. Employees covered under the administrative
pension plan earned benefits based upon a percentage of annual compensation and
could make voluntary contributions to the plan. Employees covered under the
union pension benefit plan earn benefits based on a fixed amount for each year
of service. The Company's funding policy is to pay at least the minimum
contribution required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
The plans' assets consist primarily of publicly traded stocks and fixed income
securities. As of November 3, 2001 and October 28, 2000, the plans' assets
included common stock of the Company with a fair value of $1,516,000 and
$702,000, respectively.

                                                            =====================================


The discount rate used in determining the actuarial present value of the
projected benefit obligation ranged from 7.25% to 8.00% at November 3, 2001 and
7.75% to 8.00% at October 28, 2000. The expected long-term rate of return on
plan assets was 8% at November 3, 2001 and October 28, 2000.

On September 30, 1997, the Company adopted an amendment to freeze all future
benefit accruals relating to the plan covering administrative personnel. A
curtailment gain of $55,000 was recorded related to this amendment.

At November 3, 2001, the accumulated benefit obligation exceeded the fair value
of the plans' assets in both defined benefit plans. The provisions of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87 ("SFAS 87"), "Employers' Accounting for
Pensions," require recognition in the balance sheet of an additional minimum
liability and related intangible asset for pension plans with accumulated
benefits in excess of plan assets; any portion of such additional liability
which is in excess of the plan's prior service cost is reflected as a direct
charge to equity, net of related tax benefit. Accordingly, at November 3, 2001,
a liability of $3,399,000 was included in other long-term liabilities, an
intangible asset equal to the prior service cost of $199,000 is included in
other assets, and a charge of $1,920,000 net of deferred taxes of $1,280,000 is
reflected as a minimum pension liability in shareholders' equity in the
Consolidated Balance Sheet.

                               ANNUAL REPORT 2001
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At October 31, 1998, the accumulated benefit obligation exceeded the fair value
of the plan's assets in the plan covering members of one union. Accordingly, at
October 31, 1998, a liability of $188,000 was included in other long-term
liabilities, an intangible asset equal to the prior service cost of $53,000 was
included in other assets, and a charge of $81,000 net of deferred taxes of
$54,000 was reflected as a minimum pension liability in shareholders' equity in
the Consolidated Balance Sheet. These amounts were reversed during fiscal 1999.

Multi-Employer Plans

Health, welfare, and retirement expense was approximately $10,440,000 in fiscal
2001, $9,155,000 in fiscal 2000 and $8,276,000 in fiscal 1999 under plans
covering union employees. Such plans are administered through the unions
involved. Under federal legislation regarding such pension plans, a company is
required to continue funding its proportionate share of a plan's unfunded vested
benefits in the event of withdrawal (as defined by the legislation) from a plan
or plan termination. The Company participates in a number of these pension plans
and may have a potential obligation as a participant. The information required
to determine the total amount of this contingent obligation as well as the total
amount of accumulated benefits and net assets of such plans, is not readily
available. However, the Company has no present intention of withdrawing from any
of these plans, nor has the Company been informed that there is any intention to
terminate such plans.

401(k)/Profit Sharing Plan

The Company maintains an employee 401(k) Savings Plan for all qualified
non-union employees. Employees are eligible to participate in the Plan after
completing one year of service (1,000 hours) and attaining age 21. Employee
contributions are discretionary to a maximum of 15% of compensation. The Company
matches 25% of the employees' contributions up to 6% of employee compensation.
The Company has the right to make additional discretionary contributions, which
are allocated to each eligible employee in proportion to their eligible
compensation, which was 2% for fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999. 401(k) expense
for the fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999 was approximately $607,000, $507,000
and $480,000, respectively.

Note 16 -- Other Postretirement and Postemployment Benefits

Postretirement Benefits

The Company will provide certain current officers and provides former officers
with supplemental income payments and limited medical benefits during
retirement. The Company recorded an estimate of deferred compensation payments
to be made to the officers based on their anticipated period of active
employment and the relevant actuarial assumptions at November 3, 2001 and
October 28, 2000, respectively. The participants have agreed to certain
non-compete arrangements and to provide continued service availability for
consulting services after retirement.

A summary of the plan's funded status and the amounts recognized in the balance
sheets as of November 3, 2001 and October 28, 2000, follows:
