NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands except per share amounts, or as otherwise noted)

June 22, 2002

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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. This report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 30, 2002. The balance sheet at March 30, 2002, 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 “2003” and “2002” relate to the fiscal years ending March 29, 2003 and March 30, 2002, respectively.

The condensed consolidated financial statements for the twelve-week periods ended June 22, 2002 and June 23, 2001, 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.

Operating results for the twelve week period ended June 22, 2002, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending March 29, 2003.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This report includes certain forward-looking statements (statements other than those made solely with respect to historical fact). Actual results could differ materially and adversely from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements due to known and unknown risks and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements and the Company’s future results, liquidity and capital resources are subject to the following risks and uncertainties: the entry of new competitive stores and their impact on the Company’s results of operations; softness in the local economy and the general retail food industry; the level of discounting by competitors; uncertainties regarding timing and amount of future real estate gains; stability and timing of distribution incentives from suppliers; the level of margins achievable in the Company’s operating divisions and their ability to minimize operating expenses; the success of the Company’s new and remodeled stores, including image and rebranding programs; the successful economic implementation of new technology; uncertainties related to state and federal taxation, tobacco and environmental legislation and regulation; the impact of any acquisitions and dispositions; the successful integration of acquisitions; the timely and on budget completion of store construction, expansion, conversion and remodeling; the ability to complete share repurchases, and other known and unknown risks and uncertainties.

General

At June 22, 2002, Marsh Supermarkets, Inc. (the “Company” or “Marsh”) operated through wholly-owned subsidiaries 109 supermarkets and 187 Village Pantry convenience stores in central Indiana and western Ohio. The Company believes that Marsh supermarkets has one of the largest market shares of supermarket chains operating in its market area and Village Pantry has one of the largest market shares of convenience stores in its market area. Marsh also owns and operates a food services division, which provides upscale catering, vending, concession and business cafeteria management services, and a floral division, which operates four upscale retail floral shops under the name of McNamara and one business florist under the name Enflora.

Table of Contents

Total Revenues

In the first quarter of 2003, consolidated total revenues were $385.2 million, compared to $375.3 million in the first quarter of 2002. Supermarket revenues increased $9.5 million and Crystal Food Service revenues increased $1.3 million, while Village Pantry revenues decreased $3.5 million. Retail sales, excluding fuel sales, decreased 0.8%. Sales in comparable supermarkets and convenience stores, including replacement stores and format conversions, but excluding fuel, decreased 2.9% from the first quarter of 2002 compared to a 2.7% increase in the first quarter of 2002 over the year earlier quarter. The decline in comparable store sales is generally attributable to 20 national and large regional competitors’ supermarket openings in the Company’s markets since the beginning of 2002 and the related level of discounting by competitors. Also, the first quarter of 2003 did not include an Easter holiday week which typically results in higher than normal sales. Consolidated total revenues for the first quarter of 2003 included gains of $1.7 million from sales of real estate in the normal course of business, compared to $0.5 million in 2002. There can be no assurance that any future real estate gains will equal or exceed historical levels due to the limited real estate holdings available for sale.

Gross Profit

Gross profit is calculated net of warehousing, transportation, and promotional expenses. In the first quarter of 2003, consolidated gross profit increased $6.4 million, or 5.6%, from the first quarter of 2002 to $118.9 million. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit was 30.9% in the first quarter of 2003 compared to 30.0% for the first quarter of 2002. Buying efficiencies and pricing accounted for 0.6% of the 0.9% improvement as a percentage of revenues, with real estate gains accounting for the remaining 0.3%. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit increased in all divisions, except McNamara.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

In the first quarter of 2003, consolidated selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased $5.7 million, or 5.8%, from the comparable quarter of 2002 to $102.9 million. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A expenses were 26.7% in the first quarter of 2003 compared to 25.9% in the first quarter of 2002. The increase was partially due to the decline in sales reducing leverage against fixed costs. The dollar increase resulted primarily from store wages, building rent and other occupancy costs related to new stores, and workers compensation and general liability claims. Wage expense in stores open during both quarters, excluding replacement stores and supermarket conversions to the LoBill format, decreased 2.5% primarily reflecting the same store sales decline and continued efforts on labor efficiency and scheduling. The Company expects to incur expenses of $1.0 million to $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2003 for a customer contest trip that was cancelled as a result of the events of September 11, 2001.

Depreciation

Depreciation expense for the first quarter of 2003 was $5.6 million, compared to $4.8 million for the first quarter of 2002. The increase is attributable to our capital investment in new and remodeled stores. As a percentage of revenues, depreciation expense was 1.5% for the first quarter of 2003 compared to 1.3% for the year earlier first quarter.

Operating Income

Operating income (income from continuing operations before interest and taxes) decreased $0.1 million to $10.4 million for the first quarter of 2003 from $10.5 million for the first quarter of 2002. The improvement in gross profit was essentially offset by the increases in SG&A expenses and depreciation. Operating income, as a percentage of revenues, was 2.7% for the first quarter of 2003 compared to 2.8% for the year earlier quarter.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the first quarter of 2003 was $5.4 million, compared to $5.1 million for the first quarter of 2002 and, as a percentage of revenues, was 1.4% for the first quarter of both years.

Income Taxes

For the quarter ended June 22, 2002, the effective income tax rate was 36.9% compared to 33.7% for the year earlier quarter. The first quarter effective rate is based on the overall expected rate for 2003.

Income from Continuing Operations

Income from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2003 was $3.2 million, compared to $3.6 million for the first quarter of 2002. As a percentage of revenues, income from continuing operations was 0.8% for the first quarter of 2003 compared to 1.0% for the first quarter of 2002.

Discontinued Operation

During 2002, the Company sold certain assets of its wholesale division and reported a gain from the disposal. In the first quarter of 2003, the reported gain was decreased by $0.2 million, after tax benefit, primarily for an increase in provision for doubtful accounts. Income, after tax benefit, for the first quarter of 2002 was $0.3 million.

Net Income

Net income was $3.0 million for the first quarter of 2003 compared to $3.9 million for the first quarter of 2002. Net income from continuing operations declined $0.4 million and net income from the discontinued operation declined $0.5 million.

Capital Expenditures

The Company’s capital requirements have traditionally been financed through internally generated funds, long-term borrowings and lease financing, including capital and operating leases.

During the first quarter of 2003, one supermarket remodel was completed, one remodel was started, one supermarket was converted to the LoBill format, a new floral shop was opened and two convenience stores were closed. Also, construction continued on a new frozen food distribution center scheduled to open in August 2002. In 2003, the Company plans to construct one new supermarket and remodel four additional supermarkets, open two new LoBill stores, open a Hispanic supermarket, open two new convenience stores, and open one new floral shop and remodel a floral shop. The cost of these projects and other capital commitments is estimated to be $65 million. Of this amount, the Company plans to fund $25 million through sale/leasebacks, $19 million through equipment leasing and believes it can finance the balance with current cash balances and internally generated funds. As of June 22, 2002, the Company had expended $13.0 million for capital improvements.

The Company’s plans with respect to store financing, construction, expansion, conversion and remodeling are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and may be revised in light of changing conditions, such as competitive influences, its ability to successfully negotiate site acquisitions or leases, zoning limitations and other governmental regulations. The timing of projects is subject to normal construction and other delays.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter of 2003 was $7.9 million, compared to $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2002. In the first quarter of 2002, net cash provided by operating activities was impacted by changes in operating asset levels: inventory buildup and higher accounts receivable.

Working capital at June 22, 2002 decreased $0.8 million to $78.3 million from March 30, 2002. Changes in working capital included a $6.8 million decrease in cash and equivalents, a $4.7 million increase in accounts receivable, and a $2.8 million decrease in accrued liabilities. The increase in accounts receivable resulted primarily from an increase in the current portion of long-term notes receivable. The decrease in accrued liabilities was due primarily to payments of accrued compensation and related payroll taxes, and property taxes.

The Company has an unsecured revolving credit facility that permits total borrowings of up to $100.0 million, with $10.0 million designated solely for the conversion of 7% convertible debentures maturing in February 2003. The Company had borrowings of $12.0 million under the facility at June 22, 2002. Interest rates are based on LIBOR or floating prime rate and the facility matures in February 2005. The credit facility contains certain debt covenants, including limits on future indebtedness, cash dividends, repurchases of common stock and disposition of assets. The Company also has a bank commitment that provides $3.0 million in short-term borrowing, at rates based upon the then prevailing federal funds rate, none of which was utilized at June 22, 2002.
