PUBLIX SUPER MARKETS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




1. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included herein
are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, such information
reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments)
which are necessary for the fair statement of results for the interim period.
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the fiscal 2001 Form 10-K Annual Report of the Company.

2. Due to the seasonal nature of the Company's business, the results for the
three months and six months ended June 29, 2002 are not necessarily
indicative of the results for the entire 2002 fiscal year.

3. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
as of 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.

4. Certain 2001 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 2002
presentation.

5. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations," (SFAS 143) effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15,
2002. SFAS 143 addresses the financial accounting and reporting for
obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and
the associated asset retirement costs. SFAS 143 requires the Company to
record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the
period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement
of tangible long-lived assets. The Company would also record a corresponding
asset which is depreciated over the life of the asset. Subsequent to the
initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the obligation will
be adjusted at the end of each period to reflect the passage of time and
changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation. The
Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting SFAS 143.

6. In July 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with
Exit or Disposal Activities," (SFAS 146) effective for exit or disposal
activities initiated after December 31, 2002. SFAS 146 requires that a
liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be
recognized at fair value when the liability is incurred rather than at the
date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. The Company is currently
evaluating the effect of adopting SFAS 146.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

Cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments totaled
approximately $617.1 million at June 29, 2002, compared to $666.9 million at
June 30, 2001. Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately
$692.2 million for the six months ended June 29, 2002, as compared with $554.1
million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Any net cash in excess of the
amount needed for current operations is invested in short-term and long-term
investments.

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $324.7 million for
the six months ended June 29, 2002, as compared with $355.1 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2001. The primary use of net cash in investing activities
was funding capital expenditures. During the six months ended June 29, 2002,
capital expenditures totaled approximately $335.4 million. These expenditures
were primarily incurred in connection with the opening of 19 net new stores (29
new stores opened and ten stores closed) and remodeling or expanding 45 stores.
Net new stores added an additional .87 million square feet in the six months
ended June 29, 2002, a 2.8% increase. Significant expenditures were also
incurred in the expansion of warehouses, office construction and enhanced
information technology applications. During the six months ended June 30, 2001,
capital expenditures totaled approximately $323.7 million. These expenditures
were primarily incurred in connection with the opening of 17 net new stores (27
new stores opened and ten stores closed) and remodeling or expanding 38 stores.
Net new stores added an additional .86 million square feet in the six months
ended June 30, 2001, a 3.0% increase. Significant expenditures were also
incurred in the expansion of warehouses in Lakeland, Florida and the development
of an online grocery shopping service, PublixDirect.

Capital expenditures for the remainder of 2002, primarily made up of new
store, warehouse and office construction, remodeling and expanding of certain
existing stores and new or enhanced information technology applications, are
expected to be approximately $429.6 million. This capital program is subject to
continuing change and review. The remaining 2002 capital expenditures are
expected to be financed by internally generated funds, liquid assets or the
committed line of credit described below. In the normal course of operations,
the Company replaces stores and closes stores that are not meeting performance
expectations. The impact of future store closings is not expected to be
material.

Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $351.1 million for
the six months ended June 29, 2002, as compared with $411.2 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2001. The primary use of net cash in financing activities
was funding net common stock repurchases. The Company currently repurchases
common stock at the stockholders' request in accordance with the terms of the
Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Net common stock repurchases under this
plan totaled approximately $285.5 million for the six months ended June 29,
2002, as compared with $345.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001.
The Company expects to continue to repurchase its common stock, as offered by
its stockholders from time to time, at its then currently appraised value.
However, such purchases are not required and the Company retains the right to
discontinue them at any time.





-8-





The Company paid a cash dividend on its common stock of $.33 per share or
approximately $65.4 million, on June 3, 2002, to stockholders of record as of
the close of business March 29, 2002.

In December 2001, the Company executed an agreement for a committed line of
credit totaling $100 million. This 364-day line of credit facility is available
to fund liquidity requirements if necessary. The interest rate is based on LIBOR
or prime. There were no amounts outstanding on this line of credit as of June
29, 2002.

Based on the Company's financial position, it is expected that short-term
and long-term borrowings would be readily available to support the Company's
liquidity requirements if needed.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Sales for the second quarter ended June 29, 2002, were $3.8 billion as
compared with $3.7 billion in the same quarter in 2001, an increase of $115.1
million or a 3.1% increase. This reflects a decrease of $66.8 million or 1.8% in
comparable store sales (stores open for the same weeks in both periods,
including replacement stores) and an increase of $181.9 million or 4.9% from net
new store sales since March 31, 2001. The second quarter of 2002 was hurt by the
early Easter holiday. The holiday was in the first quarter of 2002 and the
second quarter of 2001. During the first quarter of 2002, the Company modified
its calculation of comparable store sales to include replacement stores. The
comparable store sales calculation was modified to improve the comparability of
this key performance measure to others in the food retailing industry. If the
current comparable store sales calculation had been used for the quarter ended
June 30, 2001, the comparable store sales increase would have been 4.3%, as
compared to the previously reported comparable store sales increase of 3.5%.

Sales for the six months ended June 29, 2002, were $8.0 billion as compared
with $7.6 billion in the same period in 2001, an increase of $391.6 million or a
5.1% increase. This reflects an increase of $15.3 million or .2% in comparable
store sales and an increase of $376.3 million or 4.9% from net new store sales
since the beginning of 2001.

Due to the events of September 11, 2001, there has been a general decline
in tourism. The decline in tourism has continued to impact sales in the
Company's stores in seasonal locations during the first half of 2002.

Cost of merchandise sold including store occupancy, warehousing and
delivery expenses, as a percentage of sales, was approximately 72.5% and 73.7%
for the three months ended June 29, 2002 and June 30, 2001, respectively. These
cost of sales percentages were 72.6% and 73.8% for the six months ended June 29,
2002 and June 30, 2001, respectively. The decrease in cost of merchandise sold,
as a percentage of sales, was primarily due to increased margins from optimal
retail pricing strategies as well as continuing improvements in buying practices
including centralized product procurement, promotional efficiencies including
category management and more efficient distribution channels.





-9-






Operating and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, were
approximately 22.4% and 22.3% for the three months ended June 29, 2002 and June
30, 2001, respectively. The operating and administrative expenses, as a
percentage of sales, were 21.5% and 21.6% for the six months ended June 29, 2002
and June 30, 2001, respectively. Operating and administrative expenses remained
relatively flat, as a percentage of sales, during the three and six month
periods in 2002 compared to the same periods in the prior year. Decreases in
payroll and other general expenses were offset by increases in health care costs
and facilities costs.

Net earnings were $141.4 million or $.72 per share and $119.9 million or
$.59 per share for the three months ended June 29, 2002 and June 30, 2001,
respectively. Net earnings were $336.6 million or $1.71 per share and $270.7
million or $1.32 per share for the six months ended June 29, 2002 and June 30,
2001, respectively.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
- ----------------------------------------------------

From time to time, certain information provided by the Company, including
written or oral statements made by its representatives, may contain
forward-looking information as defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934. Forward-looking information includes statements about the future
performance of the Company, which is based on management's assumptions and
beliefs in light of the information currently available to them. When used , the
words "plan," "estimate," "project," "intend," "believe" and other similar
expressions, as they relate to the Company, are intended to identify such
forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to
uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those statements including, but not limited to: competitive
practices and pricing in the food and drug industries generally and particularly
in the Company's principal markets; changes in the general economy; changes in
consumer spending; and other factors affecting the Company's business in or
beyond the Company's control. These factors include changes in the rate of
inflation, changes in state and Federal legislation or regulation, adverse
determinations with respect to litigation or other claims, ability to recruit
and retain employees, ability to construct new stores or complete remodels as
rapidly as planned and stability of product costs. Other factors and assumptions
not identified above could also cause the actual results to differ materially
from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. The Company assumes no
obligation to update publicly these forward-looking statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
- --------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company does not utilize financial instruments for trading or other
speculative purposes, nor does it utilize leveraged financial instruments. The
Company does not consider to be material the potential losses in future
earnings, fair values and cash flows from reasonably possible near-term changes
in interest rates.
