of the Company's 1994 Annual Report to Stockholders is incorporated herein by
this reference.

on page 11 of the Company's 1994 Annual Report to Stockholders is incorporated
herein by this reference.

Various agricultural commodities constitute the principal raw materials used by

ITEM 1. BUSINESS AND ITEM 2. PROPERTIES (CONTINUED)

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INDUSTRY SEGMENTS:

This information is omitted because the Company has no significant lines of
business or industry segments except the principal business of operating retail
supermarkets.

TRADEMARKS:

The Company has invested significantly in the development and protection of the
"Safeway" name. The right to use the "Safeway" name is considered to be an
important asset. Safeway also owns approximately 75 other trademarks registered
or pending in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, including its
product line names such as Lucerne, Bel-air, TownHouse, Mrs. Wright's, and
Safeway SELECT. Each trademark registration is for an initial period of 10 or 20
years and is renewable for as long as the use of the trademark continues.
Safeway considers certain of its trademarks to be of material importance to its
business and actively defends and enforces such trademarks. Safeway has also
registered certain of its trademarks in Canada.

WORKING CAPITAL:

At year-end 1994, working capital deficit was composed of $1.4 billion of
current assets and $1.8 billion of current liabilities. Normal operating
fluctuations in these substantial balances can result in changes to cash flow
from operations presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows that are
not necessarily indicative of long-term operating trends; however, during 1994
Safeway significantly increased cash flow from operations through improved
working capital management. There are no unusual industry practices or
requirements relating to working capital items.

COMPETITION:

Food retailing is intensely competitive. The number of competitors and the
amount of competition experienced by Safeway's stores vary by market area. The
principal competitive factors that affect the Company's business are location,
quality, service, price and consumer loyalty to other brands and stores.

Local, regional, and national food chains as well as independent food stores and
markets comprise the principal competition, although Safeway also faces
substantial competition from convenience stores, liquor retailers, membership
warehouse clubs, specialty retailers, and large-scale drug and pharmaceutical
chains. Safeway and its competitors engage in price competition which, from time
to time, has adversely affected operating margins in many of its markets.

SAFEWAY INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


ITEM 1. BUSINESS AND ITEM 2. PROPERTIES (CONTINUED)

COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS:

The Company's compliance with the federal, state, and local provisions which
have been enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of materials into the
environment or otherwise relate to the protection of the environment has not had
and is not expected to have a material adverse effect upon the capital
expenditures, earnings or competitive position of the Company.

EMPLOYEES:

At year-end 1994, the Company had approximately 110,000 full and part-time
employees. Approximately 90% of the Company's employees are covered by
collective bargaining agreements negotiated with local unions affiliated with
one of 12 different international unions. There are approximately 500 such
agreements, typically having three-year terms, with some agreements having terms
up to five years. The Company renegotiates a significant number of these
agreements every year. While the Company believes that its relationship with its
employees is good, work stoppages that could result from failure to renew
contracts covering a significant number of employees could have an adverse
effect on Safeway's operations.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC OPERATIONS AND EXPORT SALES:

Note K to the consolidated financial statements, included on page 34 of the
Company's 1994 Annual Report to Stockholders and incorporated herein by this
reference, contains financial information by geographic area. At year-end 1994,
the Company's foreign operations were composed of retail grocery and wholesale
operations in Canada and a 49% equity investment in Casa Ley, S.A. de C.V.
("Casa Ley"), a Mexican company. The recent devaluation of the peso will have an
adverse impact on Safeway's income from Casa Ley beginning in 1995 but is not
expected to be material to Safeway's net income. Other than the competitive
nature of the retail food business, the Company is not aware of any other
significant risks of operating in these foreign countries.

Casa Ley had total assets of $448.4 million and $365.5 million as of September
30, 1994 and 1993, based on financial information provided by Casa Ley. Sales
were $1,052.4 million and net income was $32.0 million for the 12 months ended
September 30, 1994. Sales were $925.8 million and net income was $39.5 million
for the 12 months ended September 30, 1993. Sales were $752.7 million and net
income was $33.8 million for the 12 months ended September 30, 1992.

TERMS OF OUTSTANDING INDEBTEDNESS:

Information appearing in Note B to the consolidated financial statements on
pages 25 through 27 of the Company's 1994 Annual Report to Stockholders is
incorporated herein by this reference.

The following description of the Bank Credit Agreement and the Working Capital
Credit Agreement (the "Bank Agreements") and the indentures related to the 9.35%
Senior Subordinated Notes due 1999, the 9.65% Senior Subordinated Debentures due
2004, the 9.875% Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2007, the 10% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2001, the 9.30% Senior Secured Debentures due 2007, and
the 10% Senior Notes due 2002 (collectively, the "Notes and Debentures") does
not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by
reference to the Bank Agreements and such indentures, which have been filed with
the Commission. Capitalized terms used herein which are not otherwise defined
shall have the meanings assigned to them in the definitive agreements and
instruments governing such indebtedness.

Negative covenants contained in the Bank Agreements prohibit the Company from
paying cash dividends on its capital stock and restrict the ability of the
Company and, in some cases, its subsidiaries, to, among other things: (i) incur
debt, (ii) incur liens, (iii) make investments or enter into joint ventures,
(iv) incur or create contingent obligations, (v) make distributions on or
redemptions of its capital stock, (vi) make capital expenditures, (vii) prepay
or repay subordinated indebtedness, including the Notes and the Debentures,
(viii) make certain fundamental changes in corporate structure or business
activities including certain mergers or consolidations, liquidations,
dissolutions, or disposing of material amounts of assets other than in the
ordinary course of business, (ix) incur obligations as lessee with respect to
the lease of any property, (x) become liable in sale and leaseback transactions,
(xi) sell or discount receivables, (xii) enter into certain transactions with
shareholders and affiliates, (xiii) dispose of subsidiary equity securities,
(xiv) engage in unrelated business activities, (xv) amend or modify the
documents governing subordinated indebtedness, and (xvi) engage in transactions
or fail to make payments which result in penalties under ERISA.

In addition, the Bank Agreements require that the Company meet specific
financial ratio tests, including a ratio of consolidated cash flow available for
fixed charges to consolidated fixed charges and a ratio of consolidated total
debt to consolidated capitalization.

The indentures related to the Notes and Debentures restrict the ability of the
Company, and in some cases, its subsidiaries, to, among other things: (i) pay
cash dividends or make other distributions on or redemptions of its capital
stock, (ii) incur debt, (iii) incur liens, (iv) enter into transactions with
stockholders and affiliates, and (v) consolidate, merge or dispose of all or
substantially all of its assets. In particular, the indentures limit the ability
of the Company to incur debt in certain circumstances, unless the Company meets
a specified consolidated fixed charge ratio.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Information about legal proceedings appearing under the caption "Legal Matters"
as reported in Note H to the consolidated financial statements on page 32 of the
Company's 1994 Annual Report to Stockholders is incorporated herein by this
reference.

In March 1995, Service District No. 1 of the Clackamas County, Oregon
Department of Utilities (the "District") issued a Notice of Violation and
Intent to Assess Civil Penalty ("NOV") alleging violations of a wastewater
discharge permit at a Company facility. The violations relate to the Company's
alleged failure to comply with discharge limitations for pH and reporting
requirements under the permit. The NOV may result in the assessment of civil
penalties and a compliance order, the amount and content of which will depend
on a variety of factors, including mitigating factors presented to the
District. Although the Company is unable to predict the amount of civil
penalties, if any, that it will be required to pay with respect to the
facility, the Company does not believe that the payment of any such amount will
be significant. The Company intends to respond promptly to the NOV, and has had
discussions with the District, in order to resolve this matter.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

No matters were submitted to a vote of the stockholders during the fourth
quarter of 1994.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER
MATTERS

The Company's common stock, $0.01 par value, is listed on the New York Stock
Exchange and the Pacific Stock Exchange. Information as to quarterly sales
prices for the Company's common stock appears in Note L to the consolidated
financial statements on page 35 of the Company's 1994 Annual Report to
Stockholders and is incorporated herein by this reference. There were 4,596
stockholders of record as of March 14, 1995; however, approximately 36% of the
Company's outstanding stock is held in "street name" by depositories or nominees
on behalf of beneficial holders. The price per share of common stock was $35.00
as of the close of business on March 14, 1995.

Holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends if, as, and when
declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor,
subject to the dividend and liquidation rights of any preferred stock that may
be issued and subject to the dividend restrictions in the Bank Agreements and
the indentures relating to the Notes and Debentures. The Bank Agreements provide
that the Company may not declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution
with respect to its common stock (other than dividends or distributions payable
in its common stock). Under the indentures relating to the Notes and Debentures,
the Company may declare or pay dividends or make distributions with respect to
its common stock (other than dividends or distributions payable in its common
stock) if at the time of such payment or distribution (i) no default or event of
default under such indentures shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii)
certain aggregate payment limitations set forth in such indentures shall have
been satisfied, provided that the foregoing is not violated by the payment of
dividends up to 6% per annum of the net proceeds received by the Company from
its initial public offering and from any subsequent public offerings of Common
Stock. Net proceeds from the 1990 initial public offering and the 1991 public
offering of Common Stock were approximately $120 million and $340 million,
respectively. The Company has not paid dividends on common stock through 1994
and has no current plans for dividend payments.
