ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND EXHIBITS

         This Amendment No. 1 to Form 8-K amends and restates in its entirety
Item 7(b) of the Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
May 20, 2002, to conform the pro forma financial information to the additional
disclosure set forth in the preliminary prospectus supplements of Fleming
Companies, Inc. ("Fleming") relating to its proposed debt and equity offerings.

         (b)   Pro Forma Financial Information.

         The following pro forma consolidated information has been derived by
the application of pro forma adjustments to the consolidated financial
statements of (i) Fleming as of April 20, 2002 and Core-Mark as of March 31,
2002; (ii) Fleming for the 52 weeks ended December 29, 2001 and Core-Mark for
the 12 months ended December 31, 2001; (iii) Fleming for the 16 weeks ended
April 20, 2002 and Core-Mark for the three months ended March 31, 2002; and (iv)
Fleming for the 52 weeks ended April 20, 2002 and Core-Mark for the 12 months
ended March 31, 2002.

         The pro forma consolidated balance sheet gives effect to Fleming's
proposed acquisition of Core-Mark (the "Acquisition") for approximately $295
million in cash, plus Fleming's assumption of all of Core-Mark's net debt
outstanding as of the closing of the Acquisition (which we currently expect to
be approximately $95 million, for a total purchase price of approximately $390
million) and the related financing transactions (together with the Acquisition,
the "Transactions") as if they had occurred as of April 20, 2002. The pro forma
consolidated statements of income give effect to the Acquisition and the related
financing transactions as if they had occurred (i) on December 31, 2000, with
respect to the pro forma consolidated statement of income for the 52 weeks ended
December 29, 2001; (ii) on December 30, 2001, with respect to the pro forma
consolidated statement of income for the 16 weeks ended April 20, 2002; and
(iii) on April 22, 2001, with respect to the pro forma consolidated statement of
income for the 52 weeks ended April 20, 2002. The adjustments necessary to
fairly present this pro forma consolidated financial information have been made
based on available information and in the opinion of Fleming's management are
reasonable and are described in the accompanying notes. This pro forma
information reflects our assumption that the Acquisition will be financed by a
combination of borrowings under a new credit facility and potential public
offerings of debt and equity. The pro forma consolidated financial information
should not be considered indicative of actual results that would have been
achieved had the Acquisition and the related financing transactions been
consummated on the respective dates indicated and do not purport to indicate
balance sheet data or income statement data as of any future date or for any
future period. We cannot assure you that the assumptions used in the preparation
of the pro forma consolidated financial information will prove to be correct.

         The pro forma adjustments were applied to the historical consolidated
financial statements to reflect and account for the Acquisition and the related
financing transactions. As a result, these adjustments have no impact on the
historical basis of the assets and liabilities. Our purchase of Core-Mark is
not complete. We expect to complete the Acquisition in June, 2002. Our
allocation of the agreed-upon purchase price will depend on the fair values of
the assets and liabilities at the date of the Acquisition. Our final allocation
of purchase price may differ from this presentation due to potential changes in
working capital, our fair value analysis of leases, and the appraisal results
for identifiable intangibles.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINING INCOME STATEMENTS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)

Fleming's Financial Statements for the 52 weeks ended December 29, 2001 reflect
the retroactive reclassification to decrease net sales and cost of sales by
approximately $70 million with no effect on gross margin due to the adoption of
EITF 01-9. Core-Mark early adopted EITF 01-9 in 2001.

For the purpose of determining the pro forma effect of the transactions on
Fleming's Consolidated Income Statement for the 52 weeks ended April 20, 2002,
the Consolidated Income Statement information for Fleming's 16 weeks ended April
20, 2002 was combined with the Consolidated Income Statement information for
Fleming's 52 weeks ended December 29, 2001, and the Consolidated Income
Statement information for Fleming's 16 weeks ended April 21, 2001 was
subtracted. Fleming has presented information for the 52 weeks ended April 20,
2002 because Fleming's first quarter of 2001 includes results related to our
disposition of conventional retail operations.

For the purpose of determining the pro forma effect of the transactions on
Fleming's Consolidated Income Statements for the 52 weeks ended December 29,
2001, the 16 weeks ended April 20, 2002 and the 52 weeks ended April 20, 2002,
the following pro forma adjustments have been made:

(f)     On December 30, 2001 we adopted SFAS 142, Accounting for Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets. If we had applied the nonamortization provisions of
SFAS 142 to all periods presented, our pro forma combined income before
extraordinary charge for the 52 weeks ended December 29, 2001, would have been
$65 million and our pro forma combined net income would have been $61 million
for the 52 weeks ended December 29, 2001, and $68 million for the 52 weeks ended
April 20, 2002. Our historical numbers include goodwill amortization of $21
million for the year ended December 29, 2001 and $15 million for the 52 weeks
ended April 20, 2002. If we had applied the nonamortization provisions of SFAS
142 to our historical amounts, our income before extraordinary item for the year
ended December 29, 2001 would have been $46 million ($1.02 per diluted share)
and our net income would have been $42 million ($0.94 per diluted share) for the
year ended December 29, 2001 and $49 million ($1.06 per diluted share) for the
52 weeks ended April 20, 2002.

(g)     See note (f). If we had applied the nonamortization provisions of SFAS
142 to all periods presented, our pro forma combined basic earnings per share
before extraordinary charge for the 52 weeks ended December 29, 2001, would have
been $1.29 per share, our pro forma combined basic earnings per share would have
been $1.22 for the 52 weeks ended December 29, 2001 and $1.30 for the 52 weeks
ended April 20, 2002.

(h)     See note (f). If we had applied the nonamortization provisions of SFAS
142 to all periods presented, our pro forma combined diluted earnings per share
before extraordinary charge for the 52 weeks ended December 29, 2001, would have
been $1.22 and our pro forma combined diluted earnings per share would have been
$1.16 for the 52 weeks ended December 29, 2001, and $1.24 for the 52 weeks ended
April 20, 2002. Our 5% convertible notes would be dilutive for all periods
presented. The diluted weighted average shares would have been 56,872,000 shares
for the 52 weeks ended December 29, 2001 and 58,866,000 shares for the 52 weeks
ended April 20, 2002.

the following:
