Defined as store projects (other than maintenance) generally requiring expenditures in excess of $200,000. FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INDUSTRY SEGMENTS: Note L to the consolidated financial statements, included on page 38 of the Company's 1999 Annual Report to Stockholders, is incorporated herein by this reference. TRADEMARKS: Safeway 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 150 other trademarks registered or pending in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, including its product line names such as Safeway, Safeway SELECT, Lucerne and Mrs. Wright's, and the marks Vons, Pavilions, Dominick's, Carrs, Randalls and Tom Thumb. 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. 2
3 WORKING CAPITAL: At year-end 1999, working capital deficit was composed of $3.1 billion of current assets and $3.6 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. 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 Company's principal competition, although Safeway also faces substantial competition from convenience stores, liquor retailers, membership warehouse clubs, specialty retailers, supercenters, 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 the Company's markets. RAW MATERIALS: Various agricultural commodities constitute the principal raw materials used by the Company in the manufacture of its food products. Management believes that raw materials for its products are not in short supply, and all are readily available from a wide variety of independent suppliers. 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 financial position or results of operations of the Company. EMPLOYEES: At year-end 1999, Safeway had more than 193,000 full and part-time employees. Approximately 90% of Safeway's employees in the United States and Canada are covered by collective bargaining agreements negotiated with local unions affiliated with one of 12 different international unions. There are approximately 400 such agreements, typically having three-year terms, with some agreements having terms of up to five years. Accordingly, Safeway renegotiates a significant number of these agreements every year. In the last three years there has been one significant work stoppage. During the second quarter of 1997, Safeway was engaged in a 75-day labor dispute affecting 74 stores in the Alberta, Canada operating area. The work stoppage was resolved in a manner that management considered generally satisfactory. Safeway estimates that the Alberta strike reduced 1997 net income by approximately $0.04 per share.

Information as to quarterly sales prices for the Company's common stock appears in Note N to the consolidated financial statements on page 40 of the Company's 1999 Annual Report to Stockholders and is incorporated herein by this reference. There were 10,177 stockholders of record as of March 14, 2000; however, approximately 90% 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, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Tape, was $36 1/8 at the close of business on March 14, 2000. 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. The Company has not paid dividends on common stock through 1999 and has no current plans for dividend payments. ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA The "Five-Year Summary Financial Information" included on page 17 of the Company's 1999 Annual Report to Stockholders is incorporated herein by this reference.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Information appearing under the caption "Financial Review" on pages 18 through 20 and under the captions "Capital Expenditure Program" and "Market Risk from Financial Instruments" on page 16 of the Company's 1999 Annual Report to Stockholders is incorporated herein by this reference.

Information appearing under the caption "Year 2000" on page 20 of the Company's 1999 Annual Report to Stockholders is incorporated herein by this reference. In June 1998 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which was amended by SFAS 137, which defines derivatives, requires that derivatives be carried at fair value, and provides for hedge accounting when certain conditions are met. This statement is effective for Safeway beginning in the first quarter of 2001. Although the Company has not fully assessed the implications of this new statement, the Company believes adoption of this statement will not have a material impact on its financial statements. During the first quarter of 1999, the Company adopted SOP 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities," which requires that costs incurred for start-up activities, such as store openings, be expensed as incurred. This SOP did not have a material impact on Safeway's financial statements. ITEM 7A.
